And what they are doing is not actually solving any sort of problem.

They're sending National Guard troops to the National Mall, to other touristy areas that is not where the crime is.

I was talking to someone who went to visit the National Portrait Gallery the other day.

And there were a bunch of National Guard troops out there

looking at the exhibits.

And she asked one of them, like, what's going on here?

And she was told that the National Guard has a lot of unstructured time right now in D.C.

And so they let them essentially be tourists in D.C.

So this is not solving the problem.

If the president actually wanted to solve the problem, there are many things he could be doing.

Many people don't know the federal government has a lot of control over our national criminal justice system already.

And they refuse to do their duties when it comes to that.

We have every single local judge in our court system is nominated by the president, appointed by the Senate.

And our local prosecutor for all adult crimes, also nominated by the president, confirmed by the Senate.

We have a judicial vacancy crisis in our city because the president will not select nominees from the Judicial Nomination Commission, which has forwarded him names for every opening.

And the Senate will not confirm, which means trials go on longer, which means that evidence gets stale, convictions get lost.

We have a U.S.

attorney's office that is also facing a judicial, sorry, a vacancy crisis in their office.

And that is at least partially because the predecessor to the current U.S.

attorney, who is Jeanine Pirro, the president's appointee.
