We knew that he was loaded up with guns. Had a map ofhe washington. You indicate that that map was described as just a tourist map looking at places he might go.

I guess we should read that to mean that he should be shot on fence,hen he crosses the when he goes over the fence. I am reluctant to join him in that kind of advice to the secret service because there is a first family at the white house. There are guests in the white house.

There is very big serious each is to be addressed. Also a reluctance to confront these issues in the congress. Not only do they have a lot to do, but they as you may have noticed have a hard time doing anything these days, they disagree about so much.
