From Arizona. Mr. President, I have to say this week stood out for me personally with some positive notes and some real downers. The week didn't start great. We saw The President of the United States, for the first time, I think, in possibly my lifetime, sent troops without a request from a governor into a state because people were protesting. And sure, some could make an argument that maybe a few protesters got over somebody's perceived line, but they were largely peaceful protests. And what the president did is beyond his authority.
