Right now, plans are made to right now. Plans are made to keep national guard troops, possibly into March, partly due to concerns about the incoming impeachment proceedings, as well as major political events that could attract violent fringe elements to the nations capital capital. Thousands of soldiers are in our capital city and CNN is not curious about that at all. Happy to just repeat the talking points stop asking questions: is it good for the country? What is it about represents a state of Louisiana enjoins us tonight, im glad you came on tonight. I think this is a huge topic being ignored by everybody. Why do we have thousands of soldiers in our capital city Greg seriously? I have some things to look out for on judgment day, but one of them will not be being ungrateful for our national guard and law enforcement officials- God bless them.
Weve got some nut. Jobs violate the capital. On January sixth, we brought in National guard troops to ensure President Biden had a safe inauguration. He did inauguration is over, but if you look around Capitol Hill parts of it, look like a scene from mad max. There is razor wire fences, barricades, humvees automatic weapons, they had tanks and the news media is always filming this stuff. If you ask our democratic leadership, which is in charge, theyll tell you, we have all this here to keep you safe im, a pretty simple guy Tucker. I like breakfast food and straight answers and im, not accusing anybody of anything but Washington, D, DOT, C, being Washington D, DOT c. Someone might think theres a political
angle here they might surmise that the democratic leadership within news media is trying to send a message to the american people, and that message might be the Republicans. Couldnt keep you safe, but we, the Democrats, can. May I interrupt you right there. I spent my whole life in d, dot c in a neighborhood where I spent my life. No one is protecting the people of Washington. We had riots in the city, they tried to burn the episcopal church in the city and no one did anything about it. This isnt protecting anybody, except for the people in power, truly youre right and the Senate, who just might be seeing. The message I just described would also see the irony because the Democrats want to defund the police, but the second message in the Senate writes: he is a message from the elites and that message would be something
along. The lines of uber elites are very busy important people very smart, very virtuous. We have a second home with the driveway and we are telling you we need to be very, very afraid of anybody who didnt vote for Joe Biden and thats. Why we need to call in the National Guard now im, not accusing anybody of anything- and I probably just blew any chance I ever had of having Katie Couric, be a friend of mine on Facebook, but I think thats a legitimate point of view. I think it is too its great to see you tonight. Thank you for that. At some point, somebody and.
