So but it's very interesting because I asked the question all the time, which was more important? And almost everybody said I did an even better job. And I got the biggest tax cuts, the biggest tax cuts, bigger than the Reagan tax cuts. But they found regulations and the regulation cuts were even more effective. And that's where we had the great economy.
And that's where we had the most jobs ever produced.

Well, they don't understand it. And it's such an interesting question because you look at some of these places like Chicago and New York and LA and so many more. I'd hate to even mention the three because there are worse examples than that. You look at what's happened in Oakland and you look at what's happened into some cities that are disappearing. I mean, they're literally just crime waves.

Nobody lives there except for criminals because you can't live there. You can't survive there. Physically, you can't survive there. And when you look at the kind of crime that we're talking about, and then they take the power away from the police, the police can't do anything. If they do anything to stop it, they end up losing their pension, their house, their family.

They end up losing everything. They get put in jail. And we're not talking about the rogue cops who do something really bad and should be taken care of badly. You know, be nasty. You got to be nasty to them also. But mostly, I mean, these people, they want to really like 99%, they want to stop crime. They hate to see it. They're not allowed to even, they're told not to do anything.

When you see a department store that was so proud, they opened up a new store in a certain city and all of a sudden this, over the last couple of years has happened, this phenomena where 500 usually young people walk into the store and take everything. They have masks on, they walk out with television sets, air conditioners, they walk out with everything.

This is a new phenomenon that's taken place and it's incredible. Look at drug stores, look at what's going on. Like in New York, you walk into a chain. I've seen it twice. I don't walk into too many drug stores, but I used to love it. I used to love to walk around and just look at what it is, whether it's a drug store or department store.

But they told me just a little while ago, I had a meeting with some people and they say, you walk into a drugstore in New York and everything's covered up with bars and glass. And if you want just a little thing of aspirin or if you want to buy a toothbrush, you have to wait a half an hour to get a clerk and they open up this vault. and they give you a toothbrush.

How do you do business like that? This is a phenomenon. There's never been anything like this. They didn't used to have theft of even the most minor items. They had very little theft, relatively speaking. They didn't have theft, but the police would arrest them if they did something. Today, they don't. They have limits sometimes. If you steal less than $2,000, you don't get arrested.

So nobody steals more than $2,000. It's incredible when you see what's happened to the quality of life in our country. And it's happened so quickly. It's taken place so rapidly. Nobody's ever seen anything. But you look at retail, and I know the big deal. It used to be a big deal when a department store moved into a city or a certain store opened up even in a town.

But it's usually the Democrat-run companies. big cities where this problem is taking place. And I don't say that as a Republican. I just say, you look at the 25 cities, the top problems, they're just about all Democrat, the Democrat run. And they're also high tax, high regulation states. Yeah, no cash bail, all these different things that have taken place. They're phenomena. It's a phenomena.
