=== Historic Shift in Prosecution (01:59) ===

[00:00:00]  We have cleaned up this city.
[00:00:03]  Yeah, historic, really?
[00:00:04]  I'll tell you what's historic.
[00:00:06]  What's historic is that I prosecute everything other than 10% of the cases, where the United States attorney before me didn't prosecute 67% of the cases.
[00:00:16]  That's what's historic.
[00:00:17]  I'm willing to take a not guilty.
[00:00:20]  I'm willing to take a no-true bill because I'll take all the crimes and put them in.
[00:00:26]  Thank you.
[00:00:27]  Thank you.
[00:00:27]  it's all the time we have.
[00:00:45]  And we've got more live coverage coming up momentarily with Louisiana Senator John Kennedy.
[00:00:50]  He is appearing at the New Orleans Book Festival to talk about his latest book titled How to Test Negative for Stupid.
[00:00:57]  We'll get you there live when the senator starts here on C-SPAN.
[00:01:03]  Start this morning on Iran.
[00:01:05]  President Trump announced last night that the U.S. had struck Iran's Karg Island.
[00:01:10]  In a truth social, which I'll read some of you, some of it for you now, he said, moments ago, at my direction, the United States Central Command executed one of the most powerful bombing raids in history of the Middle East and totally obliterated every military target in Iran's crown jewel, Karg Island.
[00:01:28]  Our weapons are the most powerful and sophisticated that the world has ever known, but for reasons of decency, I have chosen not to wipe out the oil infrastructure.
[00:01:37]  We'll leave this here to take you to the New Orleans Book Festival, where Louisiana Senator John Kennedy is speaking about his book, How to Test Negative for Stupid.
