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.

And it's the republic that we dearly love.

It's to protect our country.

We will not be politically correct when it comes to defending American freedom.

We will be a fighting and winning machine.

We want to fight.

We want to win.

And we want to fight as little as possible.

You have to count on people like me to keep you out of wars because we don't want to go into wars.
