I should leave.
That's what they're doing.
Okay, so yes, Steve, and this is a very important subject.
When the fires happened, we had National Guard.
National Guard was here and they stayed for four months.
They closed the Palisades.
They had checkpoints.
And a lot of people in the beginning were upset.
But by the time they left, I cannot tell you how much we missed them.
It wasn't just the presence.
It was the organization.
It was the politeness.
They were so gracious and so polite.
They didn't operate like our police department.
Our police department is terrified.
We have not supported our police department and they have been stripped of any of their rights to govern the thing that they've been hired to do.
The police, these people that sign up to be police care about their communities.
And when you strip them of the right to do their job, they're in danger every day.
And what happened when National Guard came here and everybody knows it, no one's going to deny it.
It sorted it out right away.
