Those people right up there with all the cameras, they are the worst. Those very dishonest people back there. Absolute dishonest, absolute scam. We have a very crooked media. It is time to expose the crooked media deception. It's frankly disgusting the way the press is able to write whatever they want to write. I've never seen more dishonest media. They are bad people. And I really think they don't like our country. The media deserves a very, very big fat failing grade. They are the enemy of the people. I would never tell them but I do hate them. And I -- some of them are such lying, disgusting people, it's true.
