00:00so we're going to start sign and then we'll take a few questions and we'll

00:06tell you how good a job we're doing we want to go from here to other places but

00:12I was I was telling some of the people that in a certain way you really want to

00:18be asked to go you know I hate to barge in on a city and then be treated horribly

00:23by corrupt politicians and bad politicians like a guy like Pritzker

00:27he had to spend more time in the gym actually this guy is a disaster a Gavin Newsom is a disaster

00:35when we went we saved Los Angeles you wouldn't have been able to have the Olympics in Los Angeles

00:39you're barely able to have it now they did lose 25,000 houses to a fire that should have never occurred

00:44because they didn't let the water come down from the Pacific Northwest which you guys don't want to

00:49write about I had to break into the water supply to let the water down and even now we want more

00:55we can have much more it's less than half of what should be coming in I don't know they have a

01:00political thing about it it's like the craziest thing I've ever seen but I don't like going to a

01:07town city place a state and then be criticized by some corrupt or incompetent governor where crime is

01:15rampant like take a look at DC crime was rampant it was at the all-time worst it got really bad during the

01:21Biden four years and then I have a mayor stand up and say how crime has reached a 30 year low 30

01:27year low people are being killed left and right and it's not a 30 year low think of it

01:33so for 11 days there's been no murders the record goes back years where that's happened

01:39they haven't seen that happen in years and then people stand up and instead of thanking us which they should do

01:45and she's not that bad she's better than most but you know you have people I watched in Illinois

01:51Chicago Illinois is a disaster I have property there it's a disaster what's going on in Chicago

01:57and you get her he's violating our rights I think this is another men in women's sports thing I think

02:05this is one of those you know they call them 80 20 issues I call them 97 3 I think the Democrats better get smart

02:13and you know politically I hope they don't but actually in terms of love for the country I hope

02:17they do because it would be good to work together so I'm thinking about you know when I have some

02:23slob like britzker criticizing us before we even go there I made the statement that next should be Chicago

02:29because as you all know Chicago is a killing field right now and they don't acknowledge it and they say we

02:35don't need him freedom freedom he's a dictator he's a dictator a lot of people are saying maybe we like a dictator

02:41I don't like a dictator I'm not a dictator I'm a man with great common sense and the smart person

02:49and when I see what's happening to our cities and then you send in troops instead of being praised

02:55they're saying you're trying to take over the Republic these people are sick but I'm really saying and I say this to

03:03and I say this to all of you in a certain way we should wait to be asked because they have cities that are so

03:09under control you know out of control so we go in and fix it they take the full credit for it and they go out and say

03:15I heard it this morning they're saying how well they've done over the last 10 day period that they set record lows

03:22they don't say that we're there with very tough people by the way they have to pass the toughness test otherwise they're not working for us

03:29so and we're allowed to do that now according to the United States Supreme Court decision now they have to pass a

03:35toughness test if they're not tough we don't want them for this job they might be great for other jobs

03:39but not for this job because they're respected you saw the gang of kids they were all huddled up and a group of soldiers

03:47walked up they never even got over those kids ran back to their homes or wherever the hell they came from they were gone you

03:53have this is one of the safest cities right now in the world as crazy as that sounds and it took seven days

04:00took really three days but we're now in our 11th day
