of losing a son at war. what he s done to general kelly is atrocious, but he needs to stake with this job. there are very dangerous people out there, steve bannon, gore ca, a number of others who are pushing to get general kelly out so we can get the extremists back in the saddle in the white house, and that s what puts our troops in danger. and our troops are going into muslim countries and they re fighting side by side with our allies, many of whom are muslim, and the muslim haters out there who want to take over this administration, they re the ones who are putting our troops, their lives in danger. general kelly is what stands between this administration and that type of complete chaos. now, do you then, richard, applaud what general kelly s doing? he s not himself he s not chosen to respond other than
the i don t understand why. but i do recognize what a serious problem it is and i think more than when i say it or jackie spears say it, the fact that bob corker now says things along the same lines shows a broadening recognition that there is some serious issues with our president that aren t going to go away or get better and indeed with the pressures of the job may very well get worse and i think for that reason, at a minimum, we need the very best people around him in the white house and that means that not people like bannon or miller or gore ca. but rather some more adults in the room. it sounds like you re saying that you don t disagree with jackie spear who said that president trump is showing signs of erratic behavior, mental instability. what about the 25th amendment part which would call for the removal of the president? do you agree with that? yoi don t think we re at a point of thinking about the
