00:00Flag burning.

00:01All over the country, they're burning flags.

00:04All over the world, they burn the American flag.

00:07And as you know, through a very sad court,

00:11I guess it was a five to four decision,

00:13they called it freedom of speech.

00:15But there's another reason, which is perhaps

00:17much more important, it's called death.

00:19But when you burn the American flag,

00:21it incites riots at levels that we've never seen before.

00:25People go crazy.

00:27If you burn a flag, you get one year in jail,

00:30no early exits, no nothing,

00:34and you will see flag burning stopping immediately,

00:36just like when I signed the statute and Monument Act.

00:39Lastly, sir, this is an executive order on flag burning.

00:42It charges your attorney general.

00:44Would you listen to this?

00:44This is a very important.

00:46Flag burning.

00:47All over the country, they're burning flags.

00:50All over the world, they burn the American flag.

00:53And as you know, through a very sad court,

00:57I guess it was a five to four decision.

00:59They called it freedom of speech.

01:01But there's another reason, which is perhaps much more important.

01:04It's called death.

01:05Because what happens when you burn a flag

01:09is the area goes crazy.

01:11If you have hundreds of people, they go crazy.

01:13You could do other things.

01:15You can burn this piece of paper.

01:16You can, and it's, but when you burn the American flag,

01:20it incites riots at levels that we've never seen before.

01:24People go crazy.

01:26In a way, both ways.

01:28There are some that are going crazy for doing it.

01:30There are others that are angry,

01:32angry about them doing it.

01:35Do you want to discuss that?

01:36Sure.

01:36What the executive order does, sir,

01:38it charges your Department of Justice

01:40with investigating instances of flag burning.

01:42And then where there's evidence of criminal activity,

01:46where prosecution wouldn't fall afoul of the First Amendment

01:49and instructs the Department of Justice

01:50to prosecute those who are engaged

01:53in these instances of flag burning.

01:55And what the penalty is going to be,

01:57if you burn a flag, you get one year in jail,

02:01no early exits, no nothing.

02:04You get one year in jail.

02:05If you burn a flag, you get,

02:07and what it does is incite to riot.

02:09I hope they use that language, by the way.

02:11Did they?

02:11In sight to riot.

02:12In sight to riot.

02:14And you burn a flag, you get one year in jail.

02:16You don't get 10 years, you don't get one month.

02:18You get one year in jail, and it goes on your record.

02:22And you will see flag burning stopping immediately,

02:24just like when I signed the Statute and Monument Act.

02:28Ten years in jail, have you heard any

02:30of our beautiful monuments?

02:31Everybody left town.

02:33They were gone.

02:34Never had a problem after that.

02:35It's pretty amazing we stopped it.

02:38But this is something that's, I don't know,

02:40in a certain way it's equally as important.

02:43Some people would say it's more important.

02:45Because the people in this country don't want to see

02:47our American flag burned and spit on.

02:51And by people that are, in many cases, paid agitators.

02:56They're paid by the radical left to do it.

02:59You talk to these people, they don't even know,

03:00half of them don't even know what they're doing.

03:02They say, I don't know, they gave me money to do this.

03:06I see the same things that you do.

03:07They're bad people.

03:08They're trying to destroy our nation.

03:10That's not working.

03:10Because I think our nation now is the most respected nation

03:14anywhere in the world, by far.

03:16You saw that with the European leaders on Friday.

03:20You saw that with NATO, where they agreed to go from 2 percent,

03:23no pay, to 5 percent fully paid up, trillions of dollars paid,

03:28where they respect your president to a level that

03:31they jokingly call me the president of Europe.

03:34They call me the president of Europe, which is an honor.

03:36I like Europe and I like those people.

03:38They're good people.

03:39They're great leaders.

03:40And we've never had a case where seven plus, really, 28,

03:46essentially 35, 38 countries were represented here the other day.

03:50Thirty-eight European countries were represented.

03:53European and other countries were represented.

03:56And it was a great meeting.

03:57But your country is respected again.

04:00I say it all the time.

04:02One year ago, our country was dead.

04:05Everybody said it.

04:06We had a dead country.

04:08We were not going to survive.

04:09Now we have the hottest country anywhere in the world.

04:12So it's an honor to be involved.

04:14And this group has a lot to do with it, right behind me.
