1
00:00:00,480 --> 00:00:03,680
Speaker 1: I have not seen Christopher Luxen this tetchy and brass

2
00:00:03,800 --> 00:00:10,000
Speaker 1: off before the freaking target Can we get that again, Leo,

3
00:00:10,720 --> 00:00:13,640
Speaker 1: The freaking targets, he says, it's the freaking targets. He

4
00:00:13,760 --> 00:00:17,119
Speaker 1: was answering a question about the National Gang List. The

5
00:00:17,120 --> 00:00:21,119
Speaker 1: cops have been sanitizing the list, hygienically cleaning the list,

6
00:00:21,200 --> 00:00:24,079
Speaker 1: spray and wiping the list. It apparently is to remove

7
00:00:24,280 --> 00:00:27,120
Speaker 1: people who are dead, who obviously shouldn't be on the list,

8
00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:29,960
Speaker 1: and people who have said goodbye to thug life already.

9
00:00:30,240 --> 00:00:33,000
Speaker 1: The reason he's worked up as he keeps getting asked

10
00:00:33,120 --> 00:00:36,680
Speaker 1: about the targets, they're off track and he's been peppered

11
00:00:36,760 --> 00:00:38,559
Speaker 1: or assaulted, depending on how you look at it. With

12
00:00:38,680 --> 00:00:42,960
Speaker 1: questions violent crime victimizations up not down, and this morning

13
00:00:43,000 --> 00:00:47,400
Speaker 1: in the Herald, beneficiary numbers projected up not down. The

14
00:00:47,520 --> 00:00:49,880
Speaker 1: question for the government and all of us is whether

15
00:00:49,920 --> 00:00:54,600
Speaker 1: the targets are worth it. Politically for Luxen, they're clearly

16
00:00:54,680 --> 00:00:59,160
Speaker 1: causing some frustration. Hence the freaking targets comment. It's the

17
00:00:59,360 --> 00:01:02,920
Speaker 1: political cost that he is enduring and is it worth it?

18
00:01:02,960 --> 00:01:06,600
Speaker 1: The constant updates and the inquisition are they worth the

19
00:01:06,760 --> 00:01:10,839
Speaker 1: end result and the answer, of course, is yes. Ask

20
00:01:10,920 --> 00:01:14,000
Speaker 1: anyone who is successful how they got there, and they

21
00:01:14,040 --> 00:01:19,200
Speaker 1: will usually say small, intentional, planned steps in a particular direction.

22
00:01:19,880 --> 00:01:22,480
Speaker 1: Things don't just happen in life. You have to make

23
00:01:22,520 --> 00:01:25,400
Speaker 1: them happen, and you have to plan to make them happen.

24
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:28,679
Speaker 1: We all have targets in our own lives. We do

25
00:01:28,680 --> 00:01:30,160
Speaker 1: you want to be in ten years? We do you

26
00:01:30,200 --> 00:01:31,880
Speaker 1: want to be in five years? I want to run

27
00:01:31,920 --> 00:01:34,440
Speaker 1: a marathon by the time I'm forty. I want to

28
00:01:34,440 --> 00:01:37,080
Speaker 1: retire at fifty five. Whatever it is. You don't set

29
00:01:37,080 --> 00:01:39,680
Speaker 1: a target. If you don't set a target, it'll likely

30
00:01:39,800 --> 00:01:42,600
Speaker 1: never happen. And that's what happened with the last lot.

31
00:01:42,880 --> 00:01:44,479
Speaker 1: They got rid of a whole bunch of them. Remember,

32
00:01:44,920 --> 00:01:48,120
Speaker 1: make no mistake, these targets will be the making or

33
00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:51,360
Speaker 1: breaking of lux and the key issue that could unseat

34
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:53,960
Speaker 1: him in twenty twenty nine. He has set the goals.

35
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:58,680
Speaker 1: Now he needs to meet them and perhaps just perhaps

36
00:01:58,840 --> 00:02:02,200
Speaker 1: be a little less titchy when he's asked about them

37
00:02:02,200 --> 00:02:05,520
Speaker 1: along the way. The Frickin' target. For more from News
