Reed: I’m not a great mathematician but I think you were talking about a trillion dollars. I believe 1.5 billion times ten is 15 billion.

Reed: That would be 12 billion not a trillion
McMahon: Okay
There is video of the full exchange

The federal government is moving to take over the California National Guard and deploy 2,000 soldiers.
That move is purposefully inflammatory and will only escalate tensions.
LA authorities are able to access law enforcement assistance at a moment’s notice. We are in close coordination with the city and county, and there is currently no unmet need.
The Guard has been admirably serving LA throughout recovery.
This is the wrong mission and will erode public trust.
