What are your concerns in the state of Arizona, and are you monitoring that situation? Yeah. What would you tell your constituents? We're monitoring. Again, This is not a proper use of the military. The military should not be involved in civilian enforcement. Also, unless some of these men and women are particularly trained in this, they're not trained to be police officers. And I don't think they're going to bring more security at the end. (10:13–10:18)
