[inaudible] thank you. [inaudible] thank you. Great job youre doing. Appreciate it. And then winegard state senator district one highly respected person actually. Thank you very much. Great job. Thank you so much for your rapid response. The fact that you are coming to a small city and the United States, thats just as it wears every of the seat in the fact we did get things under control. Bisgaard has been phenomenal. Our Law Enforcement people and working together. We work for he will together in southeastern wisconsin but this really helps. Reince has a lot to do that. You can tell because thank you thank you so much. You are in our prayers. Your reputation is a great one so thank you very much. Also this area is a special area. We cant let that happen to the scary so we cut it quickly. Did the job. Violent mobs demolished or damage of these 25 businesses, burnt burned down public buildings and threw bricks at Police Officers which your Police Officers wont stand for it and they didnt stand for. These are not ask the peaceful protest but really domestic terror. My administration coordinated with the state and local authorities to very graceful to deploy the National Guard surge federal Law Enforcement to kenosha and stop the violence. And i strongly support the use of the National Guard and other cities and the same thing would happen if we did that, you would have the same thing happen in portland and it would happen very quickly. It all be over very, very quickly and i did what you think the two of you for acting so strongly and so bravely and getting it done and coordination has been fantastic. You still need that coordination about how many people you send in. I just came from a visit of one of the businesses that was burned down, b and l furniture and the great 109 year old camera shop which i really respect because that was a reputation for beyond the stadium. Its terrible to see several other Business Owners are joining us and with some in the back also. To stop the Political Violence we must also confront the radical ideology that includes this violence. Reckless come far less politicians continue to push the destructive message that our nation and our Law Enforcement are oppressive are racist and they will throughout any word that comes to them. Actually we must give far greater support to our Law Enforcement. Its all about giving them additional support. These are great people. These are great, great people. Need a break people. They are fighting to save people for never met before in many cases and they are incredible. We must really be thankful that we have them and we have to help them do their jobs. We cant be threatening them with their pensions that will be taken away. Their jobs will be taken away. Everything is going to be taken away. They are going to be living a bad life if they utter an incorrect word. You cant do it. We have to have our Law Enforcement. We cherish our Law Enforcement. We wouldnt be here without our Law Enforcement. Even me im here today i feel so safe and you went to help just a few days ago but i feel so safe. I better be safe. I better be safe. But we are all safe and were we safe because of Law Enforcement. And we honor you and i will say this. We have to condemn the dangerous antipolice rhetoric. Its getting more and more. Its very unfair. You have some bad apples. We all know that and those will be taken care of through the system, and nobody is going to be easy on the view that you have people that joke. They are from it as i said it yesterday, they are under tremendous pressure and they may be there for 15 years and have a spotless record and all of a sudden theyre faced with the decision, they have a quarter of the second to make a decision. If they make a wrong decision one way or the other they are either dead or they are in big trouble. And he will have to understand that. They choke sometimes and its a very tough situation, right . People call them bad and horrible and they made a bad decision but if you think of it, we may have come and i know you practice this all the time would you give people literally a quarter of the second to make a decision and a lot of them cant make that right decision, its a very tough thing to do. The vast an overwhelming majority of Police Officers are audible courageous and devoted public servants, and credible. Yet many politicians ignore their sacrifice and ignore the africanamerican hispanic american victims. We have people that, there was love on the street i can tell you of wisconsin when we were coming in. There was love in the streets and so many african americans, hispanic americans, i can see waving, pastor, so beautiful to see. They want to have safety. They want to have safety. You look at im not a believer in polls obvious but you look at polls with 87 want to have great police. If want to have strong police. They want to safety. They are the ones most affected by tragedies like you will see going around. When these allegations of police of wrongdoings and when you see that they have made allegations, they must be fully and fairly investigate and thats what were doing. Bill barr has done a fantastic job in that respect. We fully understand that because you do, you do have problems but the sad thing is you can do 10,000 great jobs as a policeman or policewoman, you can do an incredible job for years, and then you have one bad apple, or something happens thats bad, and thats the nightly news for three weeks. Thats all they talk about. They dont talk about the thousands and thousands of good jobs, the lights that you say. They never talk about. So i am committed to helping kenosha revealed. We all are. We will provide 1 million to the kenosha Law Enforcement so that you have some extra money to go it and do what you have to do. You took a rough, it was a rough week to put it mildly and youve done it incredibly wealthy i am also providing nearly 4 billion to support these Small Businesses that i talked about today that governed at burned up, burned down and will be providing over 42 million to support Public Safety statewide including direct support for Law Enforcement and funding for additional prosecutors to punish criminals and resources to provide services to victims of crime. That was bill barr wanted that money put in so thats 42 million that will help with prosecutors and all of the other things that are so important to you. You need that because when you grab them and nothing happens and the back on the street that doesnt work out too well. My administration is eschewing Public Safety. We are hiring more police, california crime, prosecutors increasing, penalties for assaulting lawenforcement and for dismantling antifa. Didnt want to make in the word antifa. Nobody mentions it. Theres a bad group of people, very, very bad very dangerous group of people and we are doing a big number on antifa. They are bad. Earlier this year we announced operation legend to serve federal Law Enforcement high crime neighborhoods. It is a thing that is really worked out amazingly well, bill, but its really under, really understated in a sense. We have already conducted more than 1000 arrests in our first met in chicago. We went to chicago recently obviously that is been disaster, chicago, total disaster. Again radical left democrats and we just have to its all democratic everything is denigrated all of these problems are democrats cities. We dont want to say it but a disk of the top ten are democrat and then you go into the top 25 and take a look at at that, same thing. We cut the number of murders in chicago last month in half. Still way too many but operation legend was very, very, very successful net it is just really getting going with a cut it in half at its very early stage. This is sharp contrast to those who want to slash Police Funding can oppose using a the National Guard and want to live radical judges and prosecutors who will release writers, looters and criminals. We had that in portland. The prosecutors dont want to do anything. You can catch somebody doing something the worst crime and you dont want to do anything. So we are very, very upset about that. So were not going to be cutting Police Funding to the even loot the what to do and what to cut Police Funding. We want to increase Police Funding substantially. They want to and cash bail which is been a killer for new yorker if you look whats happening in new york they allowed thousands out of jail in your and their Walking Around and causing nothing but problems so who would not know that you dont have to know anything about policing. I would know if you let these people out many of them are going to cause tremendous problems so they want to in cash bail. Incentivize as enclosures. You want to close the prisons so we can hold anybody. We imagine Public Safety, in immigration enforcement, resume catch and release at the border. As chad pacelli we have tremendous success on the border come up to over 300 miles of border war having the best year weve ever had in the border. People are coming in but the only comment legally but for the most part they only come illegally. The wall would be finished very shortly. It had a tremendous impact. The other thing we want to appoint Supreme Court justices and judges. We will be up to almost 300 judges by the end of the term and to the Supreme Court justices and so we have a lot of things to do. We have a lot of great things to do but its an honor to be in your neighborhood. Its an honor to be in your great state, wisconsin, and we are here for you all the way. Some people thought it would be a good thing for me to come come a bad thing. I just wanted to cut the applicant today today to thank lawenforcement and to just really what youve done has been incredible. Its been really inspiring because you see it happening all over. It just never seems to end and it never seems to end because its almost as though they dont want it to end. Because you ended it really fast and congressman i want to thank you for the job you did. You were the first call and want to thank you very much. Really great job. With that i i like to introduce bill barr, attorney general of the United States, say a few words. Thank you. Thank you, mr. President. As both of you know whenever there is an officerinvolved shooting in our country, its reviewed by local authorities to ensure that it was reasonable force. With our questions raised about it the federal government also, the Justice Department also refused it. And like all procedures and processes in our country, we do it under due process and we try to reach a dispassion reasoned decision based on analysis of the situation. We do not allow judgments to be reached a cousin of mob violence. Violence. We do not have mob violence in this country make our decisions over the fate of individuals when the actions are challenged. When the shooting occurred here in kenosha, under the direction of the president we told the dod, the Defense Department to get ready some National Guard unit in case they were needed to help here and from several states volunteered to supply National Guard if they were needed. The president directed me to assemble a group of federal Law Enforcement that could be dispatched here, which we did and staged in chicago. Were picking up information that these violent instigators were coming to kenosha, coming from california, washington state, a lot from chicago and every coming up to kenosha we expected matters to get worse. The violence that erupted shortly after the shooting is simply not a legitimate response to a police shooting. And the looting and arson were unacceptable. And as it progressed it became more and more distant from the issue of racial justice. It was violence for violence sake. Once again we saw hijacking of a protest by hardcore group of radicals who were carrying out planning a coordinated violent attack on lawenforcement come on public property and on private property. That cant be tolerated. These are the same people, many of them who came from out of town out of 175 arrests, 100 were from out of town. These are the same people using the same tactics that have been used in various cities, washington, d. C. , atlanta, chicago, now kenosha, portland. They use these black bloc tactics and literally trying to inflict injuries on police. Arson and rioting. They came equipped as even the mayor of washington college, they come equipped to fight. And its completely unacceptable and this date is the first line of defense. If local leaders are committed to keeping Public Safety, it can be done. While slow in getting off the starting block, this is an example that when you have the local Political Leadership backing the police come you had the state willing to put in the resource in terms of National Guard and the fabric of april 2 come up with support such as the fbi, the marshals and if you read some special skills and forensic ability to help, thee would be peace on the streets. And theres going to be accountability. What people dont see is all of these cities that are task forces of federal and state officers reviewing all the video that we can get our hands on, and when we are able to identify people who committed crimes in these riots going all the way back to the beginning, whether they are Burning Police cars or throwing rocks at people, which are deadly, they will be prosecuted. Thats a largescale effort and is going to continue. So i can tell you, mr. President , that as far as the federal government is concerned we welcome the opportunity to work with state and local to deal with this Public Safety issue. Law enforcement is used to working together. We do a good job when we are allowed to Work Together. This is no different than dealing with Violent Crime where we Work Together. Can achieve results and the federal government is willing to use all our tools and all our laws to bring these people to justice. Thank you very much. You are doing a great job, bill. Thank you. Senator ron johnson from your wonderful state and is one of the great senators i can tell you that in the u. S. Senate, one of the best. Ron, please. Theres no doubt what you been talking about in terms of decisiveness, the resolve and the searching of resources, i think 44 different counties sent representatives from different sheriff departments that really helped stop the rioting and bring peace to the streets. But we have after working at swipe and i reached out because i was just so appreciative of julia jacksons words of forgiveness and healing and so you combine the proper rule of Law Enforcement, the support for Law Enforcement with people that also want to in the violence, that are willing to forgive and are willing to offer this was a beauty. I thought that was very powerful. I was really appreciative and thanks for talking to me and pastor, thanks for calling me back, but thats also incredibly important is here in wisconsin, although bit of a side but Charles Krauthammer was given a speech and said you oyster minnesota nice. I say wisconsin even nicer. Its true. We are nice people. We have common sense. We all share the same goal. We all want a safe, prosperous secure kenosha, wisconsin america. We really do share the same goals as a born and is so important to support Law Enforcement that my message to the folks at here is its a very small percentage of the American Population that are doing the writing, trying to defund the police, the vast majority of americans are so appreciative of the service and the sacrifice and i hope they get from Law Enforcement. I dont want Law Enforcement to be disappeared at all because the vast majority of americans are for you. Ask madrid of wisconsinites. But the same time it takes american citizens to offer those words of forgiveness and try to obtain the pepper unity in healing. Again, mr. President , i thank you for coming here, for come here to thank von firstnet support Law Enforcement but also coming just as what the citizens of kenosha and wisconsin as we rebuild as we recover from something that the vast majority of people aboard and do not support. Thank you very much. Appreciate it. Congressmen, please, rhinestone. I appreciate you being here. Events spiraled out of control. People started calling me. They were scared. They were nervous. The roots and are concerned about their safety, their home, the place of employment and there were looking for where to turn. It was very clear from talking to folks here in the city of kenosha, local elected leaders that we needed Additional Resources in the community of kenosha immediately. Thats ultimately why i called you on Tuesday Morning and after only seven minutes you got on the phone with me. You said brian, im there for the people of kenosha. The people of kenosha, and when you call me wanted Public Safety here in this community. They wanted it immediately. They didnt care if those democrat, republican republican man on the moon but what you did is made the call and said enough is enough if we need to get resources into the community of kenosha. Ultimately we not offer was accepted i think it being very clear to the criminal element that they knew that kenosha meant business. We made some significant arrests in conjunction with local Law Enforcement working very well with the federal government and in glove when i i talk to folkn Law Enforcement here in kenosha. And when the federal Government Works handinhand with the state and with local government you can get a lot done. It speaks volumes about the people here in the community of kenosha. This is a hardworking family loving town that was safety in their community. One more piece is i felt opportunity to talk to a lot of the men and women in Law Enforcement. Those on the front lines. I spoke to a gentleman that had a brick thrown at him. I have spoken to Law Enforcement officers who had horrific word said about them, these men and women are members of our community that wake up every day with a badge over their heart walk out the door, sworn to answer the call to protect our community. And i think you comment and saying thank you to those men and women in Law Enforcement speaks volumes. And today we have Public Safety restored. We appreciate all the work you did on that and now we begin the work of healing and rebuilding kenosha to make kenosha stronger than ever been before. We thank you very much for being here. Thank thank you, boy. Great job. David, sheriff, please. Thank you, thank you so much for being here. When the started sunday night we knew it was going to get worse but we really did know how bad and theres no way that one or in our case to agencies can Work Together to fight what happened. When we put up the call initially to the state and local Law Enforcement here it was a tremendous response but it still wasnt enough on monday night. The National Guard started coming on monday night and started helping us. Their numbers kept going and because the line Tuesday Morning early the leaders of kenosha and we said we will take help from whoever will send it our way. We want to protect the people of kenosha, the city of kenosha, the kind of kenosha, watch a particular rine said im going to make a short call took a short time later we knew that the resources of the United States the federal government and the president were on its way. We knew it took a little discussion between state and federal levels and but we are very thankful that it worked out because as i said i didnt care who i get help from. I wanted resources here, and after it was approved and i got the word the president said whatever you need, its coming. And i had some very important people from washington tell me the president , i have to report to the president , mr. Barr and tell him what does the sheriff want. And the resources just kept coming. People kept coming. The gratitude kept coming and i heard stories. I probably should share this but some people who in portland that were treated that you were not treated as good as they retreat here as they said we cant believe what a different place this is because of how we all worked together rather than not wanting to Work Together at all. So thank you for being the president that likes Law Enforcement and on behalf of Law Enforcement im telling you the group that is here, hope you could feel the love that they have for you and for everybody who came and its quite an operation to watch, to be part of, and the truth of my life i thought of a city like this and hopefully i never have to see this again, but the resources that in this case the federal government and you provided an mr. Barr and mr. Johnson and the people here, its unbelievable what we have here right now. Its all to protect the people of kenosha, and i still ill take you to help i can get and i thank you for. Hanky. Youve done a great job. Just if they are watching, portland or chicago or new york or any one of other cities that were talking about, but portland probably so easy, maybe that would be the first one because i see it every night its on the news, its burning. They are always playing games and i dont know he gets up and says were trying to Work Together. The whole thing in the want to burn down his house last night, the mayor. Were ready, willing and able to send them a Massive Group of people that are really highly treated usada your experience, right . We could solve the problem in less than an hour importance i hope they call it eventually biblical and at some point bill we will just have to do a cell. Well have to do something thats, how to think that people will be extremely happy with. Maybe the myhrvold and maybe the Governor Wolf but i dont know if they know what theyre doing. I just come so sad to watch it happen but here you acted and acted appropriately. Please, daniel, go ahead. Mr. President , first of all thank you for the sport and thank you for coming to what is a small town america. Also 100,000 people by National Standard were still small but what you have here is a reaction to an attack on smalltown america, the tactics in use across this nation to attack Law Enforcement our warfare type tactics and we still use restraint and function within our rules. So those together theres not a tit for tat. Those not equal. With the ability of the National Guard to come and assist us with the demands of point of support federal assets, for every department that has come along we were able to restore peace and were working toward order and healing and growth. As part of what is going on in the world, Police Scrutiny is not a bad thing. Police, or attacks on the face and things happening that lead to riots thats not about scrutiny. The thought of anything else. Those are legitimate attacks. We had a unified command, unified mission that novick take some time to build but instantly between myself and the sheriff and the local trips, city administration, county, we pull together and worked with the city with the state, with offices from southeast of your and theres not a lot southeast of kenosha to the northwest corner of the state. We people from two steps away from canada sending officer Standing Rock the response you in the Law Enforcement community was commenced and everybody i talked to was here to help restore peace and order for the good people of kenosha. Thank you for helping us. Hanky. Great job you did. Thank you. You worked beautifully together really good job. Please, chad. Thank you, mr. President. Americans need and deserve Law Enforcement and Public Safety regardless of where they live, regardless of their politics. The decrease in violence weve seen in kenosha over the last several days is really just a prime example of how federal, state and local Law Enforcement can Work Together. Its a model that we can replicate elsewhere, portland and other cities across the country. This administration, youve been very clear cities need help, they need assistance, if you need resources and capabilities beyond their reach all have to do is call Law Enforcement and the federal government and we will be there. Dhs part of the loaded with the department of justice but with local communities everyday to protect the citizens of those community. We are providing Law Enforcement here in kenosha some assistance until you are able to rebuild and get back on your feet. So certainly want to extend our appreciation for what you do and let me just say the attacks on first and recently have been very vocal about that, i very disgusting. We need to thank our minimum of Law Enforcement. They a badge, a uniform everyday. They are attacking the facility when the uniform and doing their job to get our behalf of a joy to 40,000 men and women of the department i want to say thank you to the local Law Enforcement for doing your job and protecting your communities. Thank you. Really nice, thank you. Pastors, would you like to say a prayer . Yes, sir. I would love to have that because you are so highly thought of in the area, so please. Father, we come to you in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ and we thank you for this time that you divinely ordained. Father can we ask you to forgive us all where weve strayed from your ways and while we have not picked up at your word and we ask that you continue to call this nation be one nation under god, that you are alone on the one who can make us individual, indivisible. And being indivisible there will be liberty and justice for all it we simply pray that you would bring our nation back to you, that your word will be dominant, that you would cause us to walk in love come to live and love, resort empathy and compassion, kindness, concern for each other. Other. Lord, i pray for our president. As your word says that you strengthen it and continue to give him the wisdom and the heart to lead during this time is was all the leaders that are here. We give ourselves to you and ask you for your good hands to be upon us. In the name of jesus our lord we pray. Amen. Thank thank you very much. Would you like to Say Something . I would. I think, im here for cell representing intercessors and people that are praying just really i think we need to mobilize people of prayer to pray for this country. And also i think its important to have black people at the table to help solve the problem. And also i think james and i, our prayers were able to work to really bring about a change. I think theres a lot of great change that has been mentioned here of how Law Enforcement has quickly solve the problem of the crime industry but i think, i think this is a Good Opportunity for us to really solve the problem in the nation. And i think james and i could help with. Thats really well put. Mr. President , if i may add. Being the only passes in the rent if i could chuckle that from a different perspective that is think would bring balance. I have a great friend who is chief tony, the chief of police in the tent for our church is. I talk about the partnership between pastors and please and often tell tony that if we can do our job well, it will make his job easier. Thats because there are three types of law that Governor Society spiritual, moral law d civil water most of the conversation today has been about civil law but until we can focus on spiritual and moral law and change the hearts of people, youll have to continue to build bigger jails and bigger prisons until we can bring our nation back to the place of spiritual and the moral law. Which gives us the context of love. If you give a righteous good moral man the launch codes to our nuclear arsenal, everyone will be safe because hes a good man, but if you give a malicious man who is immoral, you have to fear for you were here to be of service to you and to our country to bring unity. We believe that we can help to listen with empathy and compassion to the real pain that hurts black americans, but we want to be of service to you and to our nation to do whatever we can to bring true healing, true peace, and to really see gods very best in our nation. Were here, available any time you would call upon us. You know what i think . I think youre an incredible couple. I really do. I think you are an incredible couple. Thank you. Thank you very much for being here yes, sir. Really great. Beautiful. Do you have any questions, please . [inaudible]. No, it is not. No its not. It is just that were tired of watching every night with portland, 104 now, were tired of watching it because it could be solved in an hour. Were tired of watching a mayor that has no clue whats going on. People are calling our office. People are calling washington that live in portland and live in the state and are saying, please, please, send help, and the we call the governor and we call the governor, often, and they say no, we dont need your help, but i say your community is burning down. They dont need our help. I dont know if thats political. I dont know what is going on. Certainly not common sense, but we could solve it, just like here, we all Work Together. We came in the federal government, the state government, the city government, everybody worked together, the senator, the congressmen, it was like a beautiful thing, it just worked. And it was done almost instantly. People were amazed, and as you probably will have to report, maybe people are surprised, theres been zero problem in terms of your safety, our safety. I feel so safe. Four or five days ago, james, we couldnt have done this. The Law Enforcement has been so great, and we could do this in portland so quickly, so easily, it would be incredible. We would have done it in seattle. Were all set to go into seattle, as you know, the following day, and they heard that, and they sent the police in, and the police did a good job, but the people gave up. They were exhausted. They were there for a long time, and they gave up. They were exhausted. So were there. I mean, wed love to help oregon. We would love to help really love to help portland because we could solve that problem so easily. We have the people. Theyre ready. They could be there in less than an hour, less than an hour, and it would all end. And they got a glimpse of that in this great state. They got a really good glimpse of it. It happened very quickly. I mean, i see it, they are already rebuilding. You are already rebuilding your stores. You will be rebuilding your store soon, the camera shop, so we dont want to do that, but at some point, were going to have to do it. Were going to have do it. Okay . The blake family, i know you didnt get a chance to talk to them, but what would you say to them in terms of the pain they are going through and the questions they have about what happened . Well, i feel terribly for anybody that goes through that. Thats why im so honored to meet the pastors. I feel terribly for anybody that goes through that. As you know, it is under investigation. Its a big thing happening right now. I guess its under local investigation. I know bill, you are also participating, but its under your local investigation group, unit, and i hope they come up with the right answer. It is a complicated subject, to be honest with you. But i feel terribly for anybody that has to go through and i didnt get to speak to the mother. I hear shes a fine woman. I have heard that from the pastor, a really fine woman, but you can see when i spoke to the pastors, i see exactly what it is. They understand where i am, and if we can help, were going to help, but it is a question it is under investigation. A lot of things happened with that and other things frankly, that were looking at very very closely. Okay . Should every Police Officer in the United States wear a body camera . Body cam . Well, very interesting. Let me ask bill to answer that question. Go ahead, bill. Generally, thats a local issue for each police force in each community. The political leaders of the community to decide upon, but i think most Law Enforcement people i know who are originally skeptical of body cameras are now coming around to feeling that they are actually a net benefit. [inaudible]. You know, the whole thing with the body cam, you read it, and you read two sides of the story. How do you feel about it, daniel . I believe body cameras would be very helpful. I believe they show both sides, where right now officers would be vindicated for some of the things they have been accused of and certainly if there were inappropriate actions as we but you overall i support them. How about you . Were good with it. Its already put into the budget for 2021. So you will be having them . We will be having them. Okay, good. They like them. [inaudible]. The problem of Police Violence, as been described, the problem of a few bad apples you are going to have to speak up, please. The problem of Police Violence has been described by you as just a few bad apples or people who choke occasionally. Some africanamerican communities and a lot of others actually have said it is systemic. Where do you stand on that . I dont believe that, no. I think the police are doing an incredible job, and i think you do have some bad apples. Agree, every once in a while, you will see something. You do have the other situation too, where theyre under this tremendous pressure, and they dont handle it well. They call it choking. It happens. And no, but i dont believe that at all. I think ive met so many police. I have the endorsement of like so many, maybe everybody, and frankly, i think they are incredible people. They want to do the right thing. It is a tough job. It is a tough job. It is a dangerous job, but i have to say this to the police, the people of our country love you. You dont hear that. You dont hear it from them. But the people of our country love you, and they respect you, and you know it. You feel it in your heart or you wouldnt be doing it, or you wouldnt be doing it, but theres a great love, and when they see what goes on and when they see a case like this, where its solved so quickly, they respect the police a lot, really a lot. You should hear it at least. To follow on that, were focusing on violence action but theres been countless nonviolent protests here in wisconsin and across the country this summer, people calling for an end to systemic racism. Do you believe systemic racism is a problem in this country . Well, you know, you just keep getting back to the opposite subject. We should talk about the kind of violence that weve seen in portland and here and other places. Its tremendous violence. You always get to the other side, well what do you think about this or that . The fact is that we have seen tremendous violence, and we will put it out very very quickly if given the chance, and thats what this is all about. Yeah, i keep hearing about peaceful protests. I hear it about everything, and then i come into an area like this and i see a town thats burned down. I mean you look at minneapolis, they should have acted much quicker. When we got the National Guard in there, it took literally a half an hour. You saw the scene. They formed. They walked. It was over. And they havent had a problem of any consequence since. Their police werent allowed to do the job they could do. They have a very good police department. But they werent allowed. Now they want to break it up. They want to end it. They dont want to have a police department. They not only want to defund they want to get rid of it. It is ridiculous. I just say this, that the kind of violence that i saw, you may have protesters, but you have some really bad people too. You have anarchists, and you have the looters, and you have the rioters, you have all types. You have agitators. Thats what you should be focusing on with your question. I keep hearing about peaceful protests. Its become really i think its hurt the media very badly because you have somebody standing on one of the networks, i wont say which one, but there are more than one, many of them saying how it is a peaceful protest, and over the shoulder you see the whole place is burning down. Its become a pretty common sight, so i dont view the peaceful protests. I think peaceful protesting is fantastic. I think its great. But by in large, this is not peaceful protests. When you walk into an area and you see buildings that are burned down, and fortunately, here, we stopped it early, and so the damage is relatively minimal, but when you look at some of these areas that they just dont ask for the help. They refuse to allow to us go in and help them, and by the time you get there, the place is disintegrated. And then they say it was a peaceful protest. It is not a peaceful protest. And you shouldnt call it a peaceful protest. Okay, one more, please. Say it again. You are going to have to speak up. The peaceful protests that have happened you acknowledged some are peaceful they are calling for structural change. Mr. Blake was shot seven times in the back. Do you believe theres a need for structural change . What is your message well i think people are calling for structural change, and then you could take the people of kenosha that arent here and that you wont see and that arent protesting but they want change also. They want to see law and order. Thats a change they want. They want law and order. They want the police to be police. They want the police to do what they do better than anybody else in the world, and thats what they want too. You dont see them marching, and you dont see them on the streets, but what they want is they want great police force. They want people that are going to keep them safe, where their houses arent broken into, where theyre not raped and murdered. Thats what they want. And they are protesters too, but they dont walk up and down the street. So, you know, just the way it is. Just the way it is. I want to thank you you all. I will see you back at the plane.
