MILITARY/POLICE: “We had hundreds of millions of dollars’ worth of equipment — really good military equipment, good stuff. And a lot of it was protective. It was defensive equipment, where — like, vehicles that are very strong in terms of defense capability, where you wouldn’t get hurt; where the windows are, you know, shatterproof, et cetera, and bulletproof.

And we gave that out to our police departments. It was sitting there gaining dust. That was the only thing it was gaining, was dust. And we gave that out to all of our police departments all over the country. And you have no idea: Every place — every time I go someplace, the police thank me for that.”
