  Speaker 1: I have not seen Christopher Luxen this tetchy and brass
• 0:03
  Speaker 1: off before the freaking target Can we get that again, Leo,
• 0:10
  Speaker 1: The freaking targets, he says, it's the freaking targets. He
• 0:13
  Speaker 1: was answering a question about the National Gang List. The
• 0:17
  Speaker 1: cops have been sanitizing the list, hygienically cleaning the list,
• 0:21
  Speaker 1: spray and wiping the list. It apparently is to remove
• 0:24
  Speaker 1: people who are dead, who obviously shouldn't be on the list,
• 0:27
  Speaker 1: and people who have said goodbye to thug life already.
• 0:30
  Speaker 1: The reason he's worked up as he keeps getting asked
• 0:33
  Speaker 1: about the targets, they're off track and he's been peppered
• 0:36
  Speaker 1: or assaulted, depending on how you look at it. With
• 0:38
  Speaker 1: questions violent crime victimizations up not down, and this morning
• 0:43
  Speaker 1: in the Herald, beneficiary numbers projected up not down. The
• 0:47
  Speaker 1: question for the government and all of us is whether
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: the targets are worth it. Politically for Luxen, they're clearly
• 0:54
  Speaker 1: causing some frustration. Hence the freaking targets comment. It's the
• 0:59
  Speaker 1: political cost that he is enduring and is it worth it?
• 1:02
  Speaker 1: The constant updates and the inquisition are they worth the
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: end result and the answer, of course, is yes. Ask
• 1:10
  Speaker 1: anyone who is successful how they got there, and they
• 1:14
  Speaker 1: will usually say small, intentional, planned steps in a particular direction.
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: Things don't just happen in life. You have to make
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: them happen, and you have to plan to make them happen.
• 1:26
  Speaker 1: We all have targets in our own lives. We do
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: you want to be in ten years? We do you
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: want to be in five years? I want to run
• 1:31
  Speaker 1: a marathon by the time I'm forty. I want to
• 1:34
  Speaker 1: retire at fifty five. Whatever it is. You don't set
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: a target. If you don't set a target, it'll likely
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: never happen. And that's what happened with the last lot.
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: They got rid of a whole bunch of them. Remember,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: make no mistake, these targets will be the making or
• 1:48
  Speaker 1: breaking of lux and the key issue that could unseat
• 1:51
  Speaker 1: him in twenty twenty nine. He has set the goals.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: Now he needs to meet them and perhaps just perhaps
• 1:58
  Speaker 1: be a little less titchy when he's asked about them
