Some of my favorite parts:

"You know, one of the stories they say is that they were throwing bags of drugs over the wall with catapults. Right? Heavy bags — 150, 200 pounds of drugs. But you couldn’t see.

"Sixty-three percent of Americans are very satisfied with President Trump’s handling of the economy. That’s a very high number. That’s the highest in over 20 years.

Nearly 6 in 10 Americans say they’re better off financially than they were a year ago. Seventy-four percent say they will be better off in a year from now. That’s tremendous optimism, which is a big thing.

And 61 percent of the voters approve of Trump’s handling of the coronavirus. And, you know, we did a very early move on that. We did a — I was criticized by a lot of people at the beginning because we were the first. We’d never done it before. We closed our borders through certain areas.

But what you have is, when that gets painted black, it becomes virtually untouchable during many parts of the season because of the sun hitting it. The black absorbs the heat. So not only would you have to be a good climber, but you’re going to have to bring a hose with lots of water to water it down, and there aren’t too many hoses in the area, and there’s not too much water in the area either."
