00:00These are not violent people. This is about tearing community apart. It's about tearing families apart. It's about destroying businesses,
00:07the fabric of our community, what makes this state great, this country great.
00:11And it has torn this community. So there was the announcement that 2,000 elements of the National Guard are
00:18going back, but you still have another 2,000 plus 700 Marines. Your reaction on that?
00:24I mean, what a farce. What a theater. These are police officers and firefighters that are National Guard men and
00:31women. These are some of the teachers that should be teaching summer school.
00:36These National Guard men and women quite literally were helping us doing vegetation and forest management to deal with fire
00:41season, taking off. Most of them weren't even assigned.
00:45Hundreds of millions of dollars wasted as we're destroying the fabric of community and destroying these businesses.
00:54In the name of theater and cruelty to scare people. That's what it's intended to do. Used as pawns. So
01:01he took 2,000. He's got 2,000 more. He needs to relinquish power and control today.
01:08When you look back at the initial protests in downtown Los Angeles before the National Guard was deployed by the
01:19president, do you think it could have or should have been handling any different than it was?
01:24Yeah, you should never have federalized the National Guard. Period. Full stop. It was wrong. It was totally unnecessary. And
01:31we had over 1,600 local law enforcement. 1,600. And they ended up protecting the National Guard. You can't
01:39make that.
01:39I'll repeat that. I'll repeat that because people may have missed that. It was local law enforcement that ended up
01:45protecting the National Guard. Something I made clear to the White House. They don't care. It's not about public safety.
01:53It's about public theater.
01:55It's about creating a response. It's about owning the libs or sending a message to California. But it's more even
02:04insidious than that. It's about testing an approach that they're going to bring all across this country. Mark my word,
02:12this is a preview of things to come in cities all across the United States.
02:17Now, politically, what does this say about...
