I'm not saying that people coming out of Caltech or engineering programs at UCLA or Stanford are not good. I'm just saying that generally we do not have the skilled labor and we don't have the skilled engineering numbers to create these things anymore. If you disagree, then you ask why we couldn't have built high-speed rail or ask yourself what's going to happen in Los Angeles.

When you look at all of those burned out homes and you tell me how they're going to rebuild that. Yeah.

Does anybody think that? Karen Bass is going to go into Pacific Palisades like right now, like Donald Trump did when he built the Manhattan Central Park skating rink? Does anybody believe that she's going to go in there and say, look, I got a contract to get out all of the Crap. The bidding will open today. It'll be done next week. And it has an incentive clause. This is the date we want it.

30 days. Anybody who can do it in 25 gets an extra multi-million. That's not going to happen. It's not going to happen. What is she doing, Victor? Well, you know what? She just fired the police chief. She fired the fire chief who was famous for bragging that as a gay woman, she was going to get... 30, 40 percent, or I don't know what their percentage was of DEI employees.

And they're fighting back and forth. Her writ, Karen Bass says, well, she didn't tell me. She should have told me there was a fire danger before I junketed to Ghana. Well, Karen, all you have to do is open your eyes and be in Los Angeles. I was teaching at Pepperdine, and I would walk outdoor, and I'd see a 45-mile-an-hour wind at night.

And I'd drive through Malibu Canyon Road and look at the dry, and I thought, man. And then I would see at night, if I drove home, these campfires everywhere from homeless people. And I thought, they are one homeless campfire away from Armageddon. Any idiot could have said that, but... We don't have, that's another thing that we don't talk about.

We don't have the public schooling to create a workforce that is anywhere near where we were 50 years ago. And we don't have the public spirit in us. And we are leeches, parasites that are living on the infrastructure that they gave us. And we don't, we just can't. I just got back from Florida. I could not believe the freeway system. I know Floridians are being swamped by us.

Millions of people pouring into Florida. But you look at that infrastructure... compared here, and you can't believe the public spiritedness. I got a car to go to the airport. I got a car to go to the event I was speaking at. I ate out three or four times. It was largely a Cuban-American workforce, not all, but the people were so competent and polite, and everybody I met at the events were upbeat.
