The second cornerstone being liberty, the freedom to live the life that you want to live, one way or the other, as long as it doesn't interfere with other people. And that liberty is what has attracted so many people from all over the world. and those who try to say that we're a horrible country, that we're racist systemically, that we don't treat people fairly.

If that were true, why would all these people be trying to get in here? Obviously, that's not true. And then the next cornerstone is community. You know, the ability to live together, to work together, to be happy together. That was one of the things that gave America a huge advantage and one of the reasons that we rose to the top so quickly.

And if we abandon that sense of community, we will sink just as rapidly. And then the fourth cornerstone, life. Honoring life from the womb to the tomb. And that means not only being pro-life and respecting what God has created, but also caring about those people on the street, many of whom are drug addicts. many of whom are mentally ill, can't take care of themselves.

We have a responsibility to deal with that, and it can't be just housing first. 90% of those people end up back on the street. It has to be also housing second. Why are they on the street? And housing third, fix it. You know, most of those drug addicts who are out there, if they could push a button and they wouldn't be a drug addict anymore, they'd wear that button out. But it's not that simple.

And we have to be willing to deal with that. We were, in fact, on the verge of a very exciting program in Los Angeles. I was working with Garcetti, who was the mayor, with Newsom, the governor, with several of the county executives to basically take care of the homelessness problem. And I think it would have worked. But just before we pulled the trigger, guess what happened? COVID.
