Yeah. Now, I don't want to sound like I'm too liberal or something, but they have to. Because if left to their own devices, these guys would get so fucked up by the general population who are outraged by their crimes and are also outraged by the fact that a lot of them, a lot of them got special treatment in their sentencing. So you see this guy that Biden just pardoned or gave clemency to.
Let's hope it was just clemency and not a pardon. My God. But these sex offenders are getting lighter sentences than the drug dealers or the bank robbers. And if you look at a system of punishment that's supposed to be just and fair and hopefully always tempered with mercy, you'd like to think that there's equal application of the law and that there's some sort of fairness there.

and that when you measure the victims of the certain crimes, that that should be a part of the sentencing. So drug dealers would argue a lot of it nonviolent and they're right. Their stuff was nonviolent. These guys really harmed children, the ones that touched children, not the ones who just looked at the pornography.

Anybody who gets a sentence of over 10 years has to do time, and you can't be in a camp. Certain people can't be in camps. For example, any kind of violent offender cannot be in a camp. Pedophiles cannot be in a camp. That's good. And camps don't have fences. There's not iron gates that lock you in.

I mean, I went from a 50,000 square foot governor's mansion to a six foot by eight foot prison cell. I mean, it's real prison like in the movies. Those iron gates shut you in, you know. And you're restricted in your movements. And you're with some badass guys, you know, interesting guys. And I met a lot of guys I really liked.

But they did it because they purposely gave me a sentence above 10 years to force me to go into a shithole prison and to try to not just squeeze me, but to punish me. And the punishment was because I had the temerity. to fight back. You know, who was this guy? He was only twice elected governor of the fifth largest state to challenge us. And I fought back.

And, you know, frankly, the beauty of it is that had I not fought back the way I did, Trump would have never known me. He saw me on television fighting back. I mean, I fought back in ways that predated him the way he does. And it wasn't by design. It was just I felt like, Jesus, I didn't do anything wrong. And they know it. This is politics. And, you know, this is wrong. Bad for our country.

I can't give in to this. And by the way, if I'm right, they are criminals. I have to fight back. And so I was on all these TV shows, everything. And Trump saw me in the David Letterman show, I think. And by the way, when they do this to you and they arrest you like they did, they arrested me at 6 o'clock in the morning in my house. And it was a super sensational press conference.
