“It was after he fertilized the National Guard, after we had 16 or 19 minute conversation where he didn't even bring it up and then lied about it the next day. 4,000, 4,000 members of my National Guard were federalized. 700 active duty Marines were not sent overseas, were sent to the second largest city in the United States of America. Hundreds are still sitting there. 100 plus million dollars of taxpayer money wasted for nothing but pageantry. This is what we're up against. And I hope again people are clear about the stakes.” (27:24–27:33)
