We're under invasion from within.

no different than a foreign enemy but more difficult in many ways because they don't wear uniforms at least when they're wearing a uniform you can take them out these people don't have uniforms but we are under invasion from within we're stopping it very quickly no they need the military desperately how about portland portland oregon where it looks like a war zone and i get a call from the liberal governor

Sir, please don't come in.

We don't need you.

I said, well, unless they're playing false tapes, this will look like World War II.

Your place is burning down.

I mean, you must be kidding.

Sir, we have it under control.

I said, you don't have it under control, Governor, but I'll check it, and I'll call you back.

I called her back.

I said, this place is a nightmare.

Probably, it's certainly not the biggest, but it's one of the worst.

It's brutal.

We haven't even started yet.

Last month, I signed an executive order to provide training for quick reaction force that can help quell civil disturbances.

This is going to be a big thing for the people in this room because it's the enemy from within and we have to handle it before it gets out of control or won't get out of control.

Once you're involved at all, they all joke, they say, oh, this is not good.

We're bringing back a focus on fitness, ability, character, and strength.

And that's because the purposes of American military is not to protect anyone's feelings.

It's to protect our republic.
