it escalated two nights ago. now you're seeing the next level of that escalation. of course, the trump campaign is coming out and saying they didn't want there to happen. you reference that interview he did with chris matthews a little while ago. the reality of the issue is exactly what you said. hen he says these things at the rallies and says he'll pay their legal fees or he himself would like to pun mp a protester in the face, it's not unlikely to see his supporters have this kind of violent reaction and see protesters react to his rhetoric it's not entirely surprising. it's really jarring and a tense situation. >> in terms of mr. trump's own rhetoric what you're just describing about what he's telling his supporters at these things, what i hear in recent events going back to that new orleans rally, that was a tense one and the first of this new phase we've seen from him. what i hear him saying is he's lamenting that it's not politically correct to be rough with people. when he says it's politically correct to not hurt people and he says we have to stop being so

there's another set of escalator issues where we have to replace escalators. that gets to be a challenge if you have limited access to a station. because we have to think about, how do we get people out of there if an emergency occurs? that's how they have to think about how they stage these things. in terms of rehabilitation of escalators, same issue. we try to maintain them. we replace basics. every few years, we have to do a rehab on them. our breakdown rate is in the 90 -- we're performing in the 90%, 92%, 93%. the reality is if an escalator is broken down and it is yours, they're all broken. if you look at any of our stations, you may be looking at a dozen escalators in that one station that you may as a customer never think about. there are escalators all over. the one you hit is broke. we get it. from the percentage standpoint, they have done a very good job. we're going to continue that. we're going to continue to try to do that better. >> continuing with a little bit of transparency and openness part, to my knowledge, metro has not released the number
