Chicago, Memphis, Baltimore, Portland. All places where I would not have a problem sending National Guardsmen into certain sectors. New York City does not need it. Kathy Hochul already did it in the emergency of subway crime in 2024. Remember, she first had 750 National Guardsmen. Then when Debrina Kwam was burnt alive, she sent an additional 250. That's a thousand National Guardsmen that were sent into the subway system. So I would say to the President, I would say to his attaches and aides who know New York City, there's no need here.
