STEPHANOPOULOS: Hold on a second. Answer the question. As Speaker, do you believe it's appropriate to use American cities as training grounds for the military, calling those people 'the enemy within'?

PM update- many more National Guard + vehicles (I saw six) at 6 pm, and half a dozen federal police vehicles too. The taxi drivers who threaten pedestrians in the Union Station crosswalk, who imo represent the greatest danger to me personally on my commute, seem to be unaffected
