National Guard Presence In D.C. Raised To 10,000 Ahead Of Inauguration

The transcript discusses the increased deployment of National Guard members due to threats of violence related to the belief that the election was stolen. General Daniel Hokanson announced that the number of guardsmen would rise from 6,200 to 10,000, with a possibility of reaching 15,000. The National Guard aims to ensure a peaceful inauguration for President-elect Biden on January 20th. Guard members from six states may be armed, and their orders have been extended beyond the inauguration date due to potential protests in all 50 states. Historically, around 7,000 guardsmen assist during inaugurations, but this number may double.
