| That's my question. | ||
| How do you, if you get elected again, go back to Washington, how do you keep the agencies under control? | ||
| How do you keep FBI and CIA specifically under control? | ||
| The way you do it, like I fired Comey, that was a big deal. | ||
| You know, a lot of people said, and I fired him very early. | ||
| Somebody said, oh, I wish you would have fired him. | ||
| There was a real question about firing him. | ||
| Anyway, you understand, because when they have a 10-year term, there is a question. | ||
| I fired Comey. | ||
| That was a great thing. | ||
| If I didn't fire Comey, maybe I wouldn't be talking to you, or I'd be talking to you about real estate or something else other than politics, right? | ||
| That was a coup, in my opinion. | ||
| That was a very sick deal. | ||
| That was the insurance policy. | ||
| You remember the insurance policy? | ||
| Oh, she's going to win, darling. | ||
| She's going to win. | ||
| But just in case she doesn't, we have an insurance policy. | ||
| And insurance policy was what they were doing. | ||
| And we caught them with that. | ||
| That was a very important tweet or whatever it was, text. | ||
| It was a big deal. | ||
| That was a big deal. | ||
| The insurance policy. | ||
| She's going to win $100 million to one. | ||
| That's not good odds. | ||
| At least they gave me one, right? | ||
| $100 million to one. | ||
| But just in case she doesn't win, we have an insurance policy. | ||
| And everybody said, that's strange. | ||
| That's strange. | ||
| But we caught all that because I fired Comey. | ||
| Because when I fired Comey, it was like throwing a rock into a hornet's nest, into a nest of bees, and the place went crazy. | ||
| So when you were president, are you confident that you knew everything, say, CIA was doing around the world? | ||
| No, I'm not. | ||
| I'm not. | ||
| It's a very interesting group of people. | ||
| I had very good relationships, I thought. | ||
| I was a little surprised when I got out that, you know, things go on. | ||
| What were you surprised by? | ||
| I was surprised. | ||
| I think at some of the people, I was surprised that there was. | ||
| I had a group of people. | ||
| Look, we killed many using the CIA. | ||
| I have to say this. | ||
| Bad, very bad actors. | ||
| We were very good at it. | ||
| You look at Solomony, you look at al-Baghdadi, bigger than Osama bin Laden. | ||
| I mean, Osama bin Laden, but Al-Baghdadi did ISIS, and he was rebuilding ISIS very strongly. | ||
| And that was the CIA that did that. | ||
| That was really us that did that. | ||
| That was really us that did that. | ||
| And Soleimani was us that did that, not so much CIA. | ||
| But we did some very good work with the CIA. | ||
| One of the things I did with EPA is you have states, many states, most of the states have so much water. | ||
| You know, it comes out of heaven, right? | ||
| The water pours down and you have it. | ||
| It's there. | ||
| It's got to go wherever it goes, into the oceans, whatever. | ||
| It's not like a big problem. | ||
| Now, in some states, they have a problem. | ||
| You know, you have some desert areas and all, and for that, it's okay. | ||
| But they have sinks where no water comes out. | ||
| You turn it on, no water comes out. | ||
| No water comes out of the shower. | ||
| No water is allowed to go into the washing machine for your dishes or for your clothing or what. | ||
| And I avoided all of that. | ||
| Wait, they have sinks where no water comes out? | ||
| Sure, you have restrictors. | ||
| When I say no water, very little water. | ||
| You want to wash your hands, right? | ||
| Yeah. | ||
| And you've seen this. | ||
| And you turn on the sink and it's very little. | ||
| Or you want to wash your beautiful hair, right? | ||
| And you're standing under a shower. | ||
| Then the suds never go. | ||
| The water comes out very slowly. | ||
| I'm sure you've seen this. | ||
| It usually takes place in new hotels in New Orleans. | ||
| Yeah, you take a drill and take the water out. | ||
| Well, you can, but now they make it so you can't do that so easily. | ||
| They have a restrictor. | ||
| It's called a restrictor. | ||
| And it restricts the water from coming out. | ||
| So I ended all of that. | ||
| And you have to see these, they let the water come out. | ||
| You know what people do? | ||
| They wash their hands like five times longer, or in the washing machine, they'll press for their, let's say, the dishwasher. | ||
| They'll press it. | ||
| Then they'll press it about seven or eight times. | ||
| They'll end up using more water, and it still won't be very good. | ||
| I met with the head of Whirlpool. | ||
| They were practically going out of business during my administration, and they said to me from Ohio, incredible, great state. | ||
| I love Ohio. | ||
| And they were really doing badly because people were dumping washing machines all over, mostly from South Korea, but also from China. | ||
| And he was explaining it's just a terrible situation. | ||
| I said, let me ask you, how's the quality? | ||
| He says, well, better, but they are good enough quality. | ||
| But, you know, of course, he's going to say that. | ||
| But, you know, they are better. | ||
| He said, but they don't allow us. | ||
| They're dumping these machines. | ||
| They're cutting us in half. | ||
| They're killing us. | ||
| And on top of it, the government won't let us use water in our machines. | ||
| I mean, he shows me like a quarter of a bottle of water that's supposed to be washing clothing. | ||
| And I freed it all up, and I put tariffs on these countries that were selling and the machines coming into the country. | ||
| And that company went from a big, big, all the washing machine companies, they make washing machines, they make dryers, they make all of the different machines that do this kind of work, including dishwashers. | ||
| And they went from a disaster area to being just thriving. | ||
| But they love me in that part of Ohio. | ||
| Well, I bet they do, but why should EPA, no one at EPA was elected by anybody, why do they have the power to decide how much water your washing machine uses? | ||
| Shouldn't Congress in a democracy get to vote on that? | ||
| Who wants to not be able to use a gas stove or have to drive an electric car, which, you know, you have a four-hour drive, but the car only goes an hour and a half, so you have to charge it. | ||
| The happiest moment for somebody in an electric car is the first 10 minutes. | ||
| In other words, you get it charged, and now for 10 minutes. | ||
| The unhappiest part is the next hour because you're petrified that you're not going to be fine with another charger. | ||
| People, I'm saying if people, I'm not knocking electric cars, they're fine. | ||
| They're fine. | ||
| But if people want to buy a gasoline car or hybrid, hybrids are pretty good, actually, but they should be allowed to buy. | ||
| They don't want to do any of this. | ||
| So right now, California is in a big brownout because their grid is a disaster. | ||
| The grid all over the country is sort of a disaster, but the grid in California. | ||
| And yet, they want to have in a very short period of time, millions and millions of cars going off that grid essentially. | ||
| It doesn't work. | ||
| So plug your car into a grid that's fairly fast. | ||
| You should be able to buy an electric car. | ||
| You know, electric cars could be fine if you drive short distances and you want to have, you know, whatever, and you have plug-ins everywhere you go. | ||
| They could be fine. | ||
| But you've got to have gasoline cars. | ||
| You've got to have everything. | ||
| Let people buy everything. | ||
| Now the new thing is your heating systems in the house. | ||
| They don't want you to have a modern-day heating system. | ||
| They want you to use a heating system that will cost you at least $10,000 to buy and won't work very well. | ||
| You know, none of this stuff works as well. | ||
| You'll hear people say the news is full of wine. |
