"Listen, I'm all for it. I told the president yesterday morning we talked about this, and I said we will give you the resources and the authority necessary to complete this job because it is wildly popular. You see the Democrat mayor of D.C. came out and said, Thank you for the reinforcements. We have to bring law and order back. We're the party, he's the president to do it, and we're gonna show that to the people."
"Again, Gavin Newsom will do anything for attention. He can name-drop me all that he wants. He needs to go and govern his state and not be engaging in all of this. Look, we have crime in cities all across America, and we're against that everywhere, and we need to bring policies to bear. My hometown of Shreveport has done a great job of reducing crime gradually,"
Dana Perino asked Mike Johnson whether Congress can pass a bill to fund continued National Guard presence in D.C. Johnson said he supports providing the resources and authority necessary and called the deployment wildly popular, noting the D.C. mayor thanked the reinforcements and urged law and order. Bill Melugin referenced Governor Gavin Newsom name-dropping Johnson and comparing murder rates, saying Louisiana's rate is nearly four times higher than California's. Johnson dismissed Newsom as seeking attention, urged Newsom to govern his state, acknowledged crime across U.S. cities, called for policy solutions, and cited gradual crime reductions in Shreveport while conceding progress is slow.
