And we see that, you know, where they're doing, they're taking that tariff money, they're plowing it right into, you know, getting Blackhawk helicopters for ice, you know, flying over Chicago.

I was actually just I just visited with the National Guard in D.C.

to get a sense of of what's going on there.

We are paying as a nation $1.3 million a day to have the National Guard go around D.C.

And what are they doing there?

They're spreading around mulch.

They're trimming trees.

I kid you not.

They literally gave me statistics.

How many trash bags they lifted up.

Is that really the best use of our money?

By the end of this year, it's expected to have cost over $200 million to have these

National Guard in D.C., there's much better use to be able to help families be able to afford their health care, be able to afford housing and other things like that, rather than just putting on a show for Donald Trump to pretend like he's the commander in chief, able to just put the U.S.

military on the ground in our own streets, like he said to the generals, using American cities as a training ground.

Yeah, look, what I can tell you from my vantage point, seeing how this has unfolded, there are two people running this government, which is Russell Vogt, the OMB director who's pushing his dangerous agenda all over, creating so much of the mass firings and the destruction of our government, as well as Stephen Miller.

who needs no introduction because of just the sheer amount of danger that he poses to our nation, pushing such an extreme agenda and is literally running point from his office at the White House in terms of these ICE raids and National Guard efforts.

Those are the two that are in charge.

And everybody here at the U.S.

Senate, they know that, that that's who's running our government.

Donald Trump, you know, he'll give some talking points and a press conference here and there.
