McCourt: I would disband the National Guard.
Kramer: You would disband the National Guard?
McCourt: Right.
Kramer: We would have nobody to protect us if there was a flood? a 9/11 attack? That’s what the national Guard does.
McCourt: No. No they don’t. They go off and they fight the stupid war in Iraq.
Kramer: Some of them do, but some of them protect us in case of national disasters.
McCourt: They’re not protecting us against anything. I tell you what I’d do with the National Guard. I’d demilitarize it.
Kramer: So you’re not going to disband it now?
McCourt: No no. I would disband it and then I would re-ah, bring it together again, reorganize it a civilian and environmental core.
Kramer: Plant trees?
McCourt: Well they would and clean up all…You know we have millions of tons of old automobiles and tractors and the airplanes, all lying around this state. And I would take the armories and I would turn them in to places of recreation.
