I cannot overstate to you.

Wow.

It's insane how many there are.

Dude, I go into my local grocery store, there are National Guardsmen hanging out in like Harris Teeter.

You get on the Metro, on every stop I see them, and particularly obviously in the bigger ones like Union Station or Metro Center.

They're all there everywhere.

You go down to Chinatown on H and 7th, and it's like, dude, I counted one the other day on the four corners of H and 7th.

I counted 58 police officers.

Now, that includes cops.

That includes National Guard.

That includes HSI.

That includes ICE.

So it was just, you know, it was a whole bunch.

But, dude, like an enormous amount.

So it's like...

If you're walking down the street, you would think, well, am I worried about being carjacked in a situation like this?

No.

No, I am not worried about being carjacked in a situation like this.

But that's not the issue.

The issue is, number one, these folks, the extra folks who are here, they're not going to be here forever, right?
