Gavin Newsom: “4000 National Guard were federalized. 700 active duty…”

“For me though, it goes back further, goes back to the federalization of the National Guard. And I want to remind folks, it's not 2 or 300 in California, it was. 4000 National Guard were federalized. 700 active duty Marines were not sent overseas. They were sent to the second largest city in the United States of America. We kicked off the campaign and Greg Bovino came out in border patrol and tactical units at the Democracy center to quite literally intimidate people from walking in.” (08:19–08:28)
