WASHINGTON – Congressman Byron Donalds (R-FL) joined Kudlow on Fox Business Network to discuss the passage of his bill H.R. 4922 – "The D.C. CRIMES Act" and recent rate cuts made by the Federal Reserve.

Watch the full interview here.

"We treat children as juveniles, we treat adults as adults in the criminal justice system":

"Well, in D.C. before we passed this bill out of the House last night, if you were over the age of 18 and under the age of 25, you could still be tried as a juvenile and receive a juvenile sentence. So what we did is we took that back from the D.C. city council. We made it similar to where it is all across the United States, that we treat children as juveniles, we treat adults as adults in the criminal justice system. And some of the data we’ve seen out of Washington is that it is young crime, not just juvenile crime, but youthful offenders, people between the ages of 18-25, were a lot of the robberies, carjacking, etc, have occurred. So it’s putting stiffer penalties back into the criminal justice system here in the nation's capital."

"The Reserve’s mandate should be revised to just price stability":

"Well, let’s be clear, I think what President Trump’s been advocating for is that the Federal Reserve get in the game with the rest of the economy and cut interest rates. Glad they finally did 25 basis points, but they probably should have done 50, they probably could have done 75 basis points if we’re to gonna be honest, but 50 points would have been the real cut that should have happened here. I think the real issue we’re having with the Federal Reserve is that they are so ensconced and removed from everything, they get caught up in their charts and data points, but they’re not being focused on what’s happening with purchasing power across the United States and how that impacts the lives of people. And so I think that the [Federal] Reserve — I’m on the record, the Reserve’s mandate should be revised to just price stability. I firmly believe that and if that’s the case, it would actually fall in line, obviously, with President Trump but with a lot of presidential administrations. It’s about making sure that the American people truly are getting the bang for their buck."
