And so the president authorized the military to basically return Los Angeles to the control of the state.

But right.

And that is not the situation that you're saying.

So what you're talking about right now in this situation would be you need the you know, the the phrase cooler heads will prevail comes to mind.

Yeah.

And that is not what is happening.

What is happening is that the states, you know, the governor is baiting the executive branch, the president in particular.

You know, and and and the president has taken the bait and has responded.

And so it is very dangerous.

It is a very dangerous situation.

I saw the press conference by Governor Walsh when the this the first press conference he gave.

And he said something that shocked me.

And I'm paraphrasing, you know, we have never been at war with the federal government.

Yes.

And then the president did the same thing either last night or today, whereby he used some incendiary language, you know, calling upon we're coming for you.
