But how do you face people who say, well, I don't want you to arrest someone, and then if they're found guilty, punish them with the death penalty?

if they're trafficking children or they're trafficking drugs.

But the same people that object to that will turn around and say, well, I don't want you to bomb innocent people in Venezuela or Colombia.

They need to make up their minds.

They need to understand what is required, what is necessary for the survival of the country.

You're right.

We had a dispute over this federal law issue back in 1861.

We solved it.

It was ugly, but we did it.

And we may have to solve it again.

I keep wondering when the John Brown moment arrives.

We've got a lot of evidence that one is coming because we can't let governors and mayors stand there and pour filth and abuse all over our federal laws and simply say, no, we won't enforce them.

And by the way, we regard you and your police forces as the enemy.

It's insane.

My impression is that since President Trump concluded that he wasn't going to get a ceasefire that he could tout as another great foreign policy achievement, like the last ceasefire in Gaza, he's lost interest.

I think he knows that he can't settle that.

But remember, he made remarks before he was elected, which were very unfortunate, telling everyone, I can end this with a phone call in 24 hours.

No understanding whatsoever of the problem.

That is very unfortunate.

The problem is far more serious.
