I absolutely believe it's a false narrative that we can't have rule of law and compassion at the same time. But I think we're getting compassion. We're really struggling with compassion. For instance, going back to the Biden administration, We were told it was compassion to have an open border. It wasn't. That's not compassion. And now what's happening in our cities also feels like it's not compassion. So what should they be doing better? Well, listen, you know, I was mayor. (00:43–00:47)
