I don't understand how is he able to activate the national guard? I thought that the national guard was to protect the state that they are in from the government taking over? I'm confused I was taught that in high school and some in college that's why I don't understand how is he is able to activate the California national guard to go against its own state and People. I realized that they also do help in times of disasters and the COVID-19 pandemic type stuff. Is it legal to do that?
