You're going to need it to stay alive.

See a group of children?

You run past them.

Kick them.

Oh, they're kids.

They can't stop you.

Hold it above your head.

They can't reach it.

No, it is extremely grim.

And there seems to be no indication from the Republicans or the Trump administration that they are going to work with the Democrats to resolve this without sacrificing health care for millions of Americans.

Yeah.

So Gavin Newsom, a friend of the show, has deployed the California National Guard to assist food banks in the state.

Yeah.

Like, look, the thing is, when you participate in the largest crackdown on protected First Amendment speech in recent history, you don't get to show up and hand out snacks and feel good.

Right.

Many food banks, including some in the Bay Area, have refused the help of National Guard members because they have this very obvious concern that some people might be reluctant to go to places where the soldiers who are standing right next to all the different immigration agents in LA are now working.

And so this will have the opposite of a positive effect in those instances.

People are afraid to go to food banks and going to remain hungry.

The consequences of this will be negative.

The issue, I don't think, is a lack of person power.
