00:00Some of the things you're reading about in Los Angeles. Thank goodness we sent out some wonderful National Guard. They've really helped and a lot of problems they were having out there. They were afraid to do anything and we sent out the troops and they've done a fantastic job. So I want to thank them very much.
00:21Mr. President, in 2020, when you were talking about unrest in American cities, you said, quote, we have to go by the laws. We can't call in the National Guard unless we're requested by a governor. What changed now? Why is this situation different to not consult with Governor Newsom about this?
00:36Well, the biggest change from that statement is we have an incompetent governor. So I talked about governors, but I didn't talk about he's an incompetent governor. Look at the job he's doing in California. He's destroying one of our great states.
00:47And if I didn't get involved, if we didn't bring the guard in and we would bring more in if we needed it, because we have to make sure there's going to be law and order. You had a disaster happening and they now admit it was a disaster. I watched the chief yesterday. He was a good man, by the way. And he said, well, we're lucky we did this because they would have they were overwhelmed. You saw what was happening. So we did the right thing.
01:13Everybody agrees to that. You know, it's interesting. You watch the same clips as I did. Cars burning all over the place, people riding. And by the way, we stopped it. We were able to make it much better, but it still looked pretty bad.
01:26And in watching clips last night, people were saying this is really a big problem. And until we went in, if we didn't do the job, that place would be burning down just like the houses burned down.
01:37They were in big trouble last night, Peter. You know it. And the night before and the night before that.
01:42What do you make of the fact that he says you want a civil war on the streets of America?
01:48No, it's just the opposite. I don't want a civil war. Civil war would happen if you left it. If you left it to people like him and I like him, you know, I always got along with him.
01:58Never had a problem with him, but he's grossly incompetent.
02:02Are you going to deploy Marines in California? We'll see what happens. I mean, I think we have it very well under control.
02:11I think it would have been a very bad situation. It was heading in the wrong direction.
02:15It's now heading in the right direction. And we hope to have the support of Gavin because Gavin's the big beneficiary as we straighten out his problems.
02:23I mean, his state is a mess. It's not even conceivable that somebody would do the kind of things that he did.
02:32I mean, oh, yeah.
02:51I mean, you're kind of llamado.
