Washington DC is currently under some kind of military occupation.

And that's not hyperbole.

There's checkpoints basically everywhere.

You have to show your papers to prove your justified

in conducting legitimate business in the area.

And they're around 25 to now 30,000 national guard.

Many of them are holding rifles that are not loaded

for seemingly unknown reasons, as opposed to journalists Michael Trezy asked.

Some national guardsmen, and they said they're just doing what they're told

no one really has any idea why DC is facing such a strict lockdown.

I know that many will say we just had the right to the Capitol and there's concerns

over maybe some mass unrest.

But does it really warrant this massive of a presence?

Something strange is going on.

And it may turn out to be nothing.

There may just be an inauguration tomorrow and we carry on with our lives.

There's probably going to be political tensions escalating in the near future.

Or something entirely different is happening, maybe it's a show of force.

Maybe they're trying to say if you mess with us, this is what we will do.

I honestly have no idea.

But I can tell you, there is fear among Democrats.

One Democratic rep said because these are mostly straight white men.
