So, we're going to Detroit, we'll be talking about how well the economy is doing. As you know, the inflation numbers just came out, and we have very low inflation. So, that would give Too Late Powell the chance to give us a nice, beautiful big rate cut, which would be great for the country, but rates are falling also and growth is going up. We have tremendous growth numbers.
So, growth is going up, so I'll be talking about that today in Detroit. It's a big speech and I can only say that the country is doing well. You saw my statement on Iran. You saw my statement on Minnesota. On Minnesota, we have taken out killers, rapists, drug dealers, people from mental institutions that came in illegally -- all of them, most of them came in illegally.
Then from other countries, they came in under the Biden ridiculous open border policy, and we've gotten a lot of them out. We just had numbers from Chicago where Chicago crime has gone down pretty good. It could go down 100 percent virtually, but we're fighting with that governor who is so incompetent. But as you know, we took out a lot of killers, murderers, drug dealers, drug addicts, mental institution people and people from jails.
We took them out of Chicago. So, Chicago has got much better numbers now than it had a few months ago. We will get no credit for it, but these are minor details. Crime in Washington DC is almost nonexistent. It's a safe place. So, people can come, bring their families, they can send their son and daughter to look at Lincoln, Washington, Jefferson or whatever they want to look at. But it's almost nonexistent.
We're very proud of that. Memphis is making tremendous strides and so is New Orleans. We have a whole group of people and crime in New Orleans is down about 65 percent. We've only been there for three weeks. So, it's really amazing what's happening throughout the country. The crime numbers are among the best numbers we've ever had.

They say the investigation of Jerome Powell is going to undermine confidence --
Well, he's billions of dollars over budget. So, he either is incompetent or he's crooked. I don't know what he is, but he does -- certainly, he doesn't do a very good job.
Are you committed to mass deportations among all this that we are -- that we've seen the attacks on ICE?
We're getting rid of a lot of people that are criminals that shouldn't be in our country. They came in through Biden's open borders and we're getting them out of our country. That's why our crime numbers are so good. We have record low crime numbers. Thank you.
