pay off I flew to a lovely place called Iraq and I flew at night and I got there at night and I said to myself this is interesting because they say sir all of the lights in the plane sir are going off I say why because we’re getting ready to land we’re an hour out I said what about the shades well we wanted better than that maybe like kids so we turned the lights off put the shades stand there’s a big 740 Air Force one and we’re landing and I go up and I look and I’ve landed I like to sit with pilots I respect people that know what they’re doing and these are the best in the world I really do these are the best of you and the pilots just sir we’re landing in approximately one and a half minutes I say but there’s no runway no sir the runways right up there sir I say I don’t see it I have pretty good vision at least from my age I have good news I guess from my age I have great vision but I don’t have vision like a 35 year old captain he said no it’s right up there said I’m sorry captain huh how about this should we lift off and try to get captain there’s no runway anyway though he said right up there now we land is practically no lights he’s a little pin spots and I said think of this we spent seven trillion dollars in the Middle East and we can’t land a plane with the lights on 20 years later how bad is that now seriously how bad how bad is it seven trillion dollars and we have to fly in with no lights but I met some incredible people I met some incredible people generals one of them came from Syria the operation in Syria and I was upset with my generals because they weren’t getting it finished I want the job done I want to bring our people back home it’s not fair and that’s why I flew so I met generals I didn’t know general one general – general three I mean these generals there’s no person in Hollywood that could play the role these guys are like perfect people I said what’s your name sir my name is raisin what the hell kind of a name I said raised in like the fruit he goes yes sir raisin what’s your last name King raisin cake I said you got raised in Cain Chen I’m just made him a big star just like I did with mattis when I said we’re gonna give you a new nickname because chaos is not a good nickname so we changed his name called the Mad Dog but it wasn’t working too well Mad Dog wasn’t working too well so what happened is I flew to Iraq I want to meet the people on the site because I learned more sometimes from soldiers what’s going on than I do from generals I do I hate to say it I tell that to the generals all the time but I didn’t have to go there I didn’t have to go there because I meet and I landed this Airport the most incredible thing we must have spent three billion dollars building it it’s one of the reasons I don’t want to leave Iraq so fast I said how do we leave this thing so I have raised in Kaine three other generals Colonels sergeants and I said bring the cameras I’m going to make a movie this is the most incredible thing and I said to the generals listen we got to get out I want to know why is it going to take two years to knock off two or three or four percent which is why we had left it won’t sir I said tell me why it won’t it won’t sir if we attack them in a different manner we can do it much faster okay general raising cane how fast sir we can have it totally finished in one week I said one week I was told two years one week that’s right sir we’re only hitting them from a temporary base in Syria but if you gave us permission we could hit him from the back from the side from all over from the base that you’re right on right now sir they won’t know what the hell hit him they won’t know what the hell hit him sir and I said why did my other generals tell me that why didn’t they tell me that I said did you tell them that not our place to say it sir they come in from Washington sir we have to take orders you’re the first one to ask us our opinion [Applause]
