  • Hi. Good to see you again.

  • It's so good to see each other, we all say together.

  • I know, it's been a while.

  • Yeah,

  • I've been away for a few weeks in Europe and I came back to find the National Guard on the streets of Washington,

  • D.C., or as President Trump likes to call it, an unsafe, dirty and disgusting city.

  • So, yeah, quite the change for me getting off the plane a couple of days ago.

  • Just a nice, quiet August here.

  • Yeah, it truly has been, hasn't it, Courtney?

  • Not a lot going on.

  • No, it's certainly jarring if you go to some of the spots in D.C.
