00:00Los Angeles would be burning right now.

00:02It would have been bad.

00:03Last night they had total control.

00:06If we didn't have the military in there, the National Guard,

00:08and then we also sent in some Marines, we had some bad people.

00:12And these are paid insurrectionists.

00:14These are paid troublemakers.

00:15They're agitators.

00:17They're paid.

00:18Did you see the guy throwing the rocks at the police guards as they're wegged by?

00:23And crushing their windows and endangering our police?

00:27We're not going to let that happen yet.

00:28Hey, Mr. President, when is the last time you spoke with Governor Newsom?

00:34A day ago.

00:36Called him up to tell him he's got to do a better job.

00:39He's doing a bad job.

00:41Causing a lot of death and a lot of potential death.

00:44If we didn't send out the National Guard,

00:47and last time we gave him a little additional help,

00:50you would have Los Angeles would be burning right now.

00:53Los Angeles would be not a lot different than what you saw take place in.

00:58California and Los Angeles just a little while ago.

01:02And, you know, you've got to remember, we have the Olympics coming.

01:06And we don't want people looking at Los Angeles like it was, like it would have been.

01:10It would have been bad.

01:11Last night they had total control.

01:13If we didn't have the military in there, the National Guard,

01:16and then we also sent in some Marines.

01:18We had some bad people.

01:19We had people, they look in your face and they spit right in your face.

01:23They're animals.

01:24And these are paid insurrectionists.

01:26These are paid troublemakers.

01:27They're agitators.

01:29They're paid.

01:31Do you think somebody walks up to a curb and starts hammering pieces out,

01:35has all the equipment necessary,

01:37and starts handing it out to people to use as a weapon?

01:41These are paid insurrectionists or agitators or troublemakers.

01:46You can call it whatever you want.

01:48And we ended it.

01:49And we have in custody some very bad people.

01:52Some very bad people.

01:54Mr. President.

01:55Did you see the guy throwing the rocks at the police cars as they're went by?

01:59And crushing their windows and endangering our police?

02:03We're not going to let that happen.

02:05Pardon me.

02:05Mr. President, on those Marines,

02:07Governor Newsom has described them as political pawns.

02:10I'm curious for your reaction to that and what you see as the Marines' role

02:13and what are their rules of engagement?

02:14All I want is safety.

02:16I just want a safe area.

02:18We have Los Angeles was under siege until we got there.

02:22The police were unable to handle it.

02:24You can speak to the chief.

02:25He said it on television three nights ago.

02:27He said, this is more than we can handle.

02:30They said that.

02:32And the L.A. police, I know a lot of the police in L.A.,

02:35they're great people.

02:36But they're given instructions not to do this, not to do that.

02:40But in this case, they were trying their best.

02:43They were not able to handle it.

02:44It was out of control.

02:46When we got there, and you have to remember, I've been here before.

02:50And I went right by every rule.

02:54And I waited for governors to say, send in the National Guard.

02:57They wouldn't do it.

02:58They wouldn't do it.

02:59And they just wouldn't do it.

03:00It kept going on and on.

03:02Got worse and worse.

03:03And in Minneapolis, that city was burning down seven days.

03:08And I said, I don't care.

03:09The governor, who's a governor that just happened to be running for vice president,

03:13the total, you talk about an incompetent governor.

03:17He's an incompetent person.

03:18That he was picked.

03:20Well, I was actually very happy he was picked for other reasons.

03:22But this guy wouldn't call the National Guard.

03:27And we ultimately just sent in the National Guard.

03:29We stopped it.

03:30But that was after seven days.

03:32And I said to myself, if that stuff happens again, we've got to make faster decisions because they don't want to do it.

03:38But the radical left, it's usually radical left, and it's usually governors that are Democrat.

03:45And they don't want to call them in.

03:47They don't want to save lives.

03:49They don't want to save property.

03:50They don't want to call them in.

03:51I don't know what it is.

03:53We sent them in not early.

03:54We sent them in late, as far as I'm concerned.

03:57But big problems, as you know, three nights ago, big problems were ensuing.

04:01If we didn't send in the National Guard quickly, right now, Los Angeles would be burning to the ground.

04:08The Marines is, a lot of people think, an escalatory step, though.

04:11These are guys who fight wars.

04:12Are you at all concerned that things could get out of hand with Marines in American city?

04:15When I see people throwing concrete into cars, when I see people, the kind of people that I saw on your network,

04:23doing danger to the police and to the military and to the National Guard, no, it's okay.

04:29You know, you start running out of people.

04:31When you have 2,000 people from a National Guard standpoint, we have a very big military.

04:36But the National Guard, they needed a little extra help, and we sent them a little help.

04:42And we did a great job last night.

04:44We had, well, a lot of cars go up in smoke and flame and a lot of bad scenes.

04:50But it was pretty minor by comparison.

04:53This morning, it's very calm.

04:55We'll see what happens later.

04:57But they know if they go there, they're not going to get anywhere because we have the National Guard.

05:01But we backed it up with a number of Marines, yeah.
