Chicago's Deadly Crisis
00:02:35
|
|
| Chicago, what has happened during the holidays? | |
| Record deaths, record murders. | |
| It's what, 500 dead this year? | |
| Yes. | |
| Over 500 dead just this year. | |
| The casualty rate in Chicago is higher than our combat casualty rate in Afghanistan. | |
| Higher. | |
| And remember, that was a big issue. | |
| Yeah, but that was a big issue in 2008. | |
| I'm going to get all the Americans out of there because we're tired of seeing Americans being killed there. | |
| And yet the person who was saying that, the very city he came from, has a casualty rate higher than that war, and he is totally silent. | |
| If you were given Detroit or you were President, what would you recommend we do with Detroit, Michigan? | |
| We have to rebuild our infrastructure, and we have given away open trade agreements and trade agreements that favor our opponents and not us. | |
| Again, Robin and I were driving to, we were going to some conference or something last week, and there was a big, one of those oversized vehicles with the warning trucks, and on it was this huge transformer, electrical transformer. | |
| And I commented to her. | |
| I said, see that? | |
| Definitely not made in America. | |
| Our whole infrastructure is dependent upon those supersized transformers that are big oversized boxes in a way. | |
| They are made in China. | |
| They are made in Sweden. | |
| One of the phrases I would do as President is, no, they are going to be made in America. | |
| I would revitalize our American industry. | |
| I would like to see this is going to get me in trouble because I am a college professor. | |
| Do we really need more degrees in medieval poetry that cost $100,000 to $200,000 to get? | |
| Now, I am for freedom of speech. | |
| You want to study medieval poetry? | |
| Great, but don't expect me to pay off your student loan and that you are going to get a $100,000 job interpreting Nordic poems from the 12th century. | |
| But if you want to learn a skill, a true skill of manufacturing in a technological age, by golly, we are going to see you get there because you will be getting a $100,000 a year job, revitalizing American industry. | |
| Those things that are hard to find. | |
