very important thing for our country. so general kelly, who is doing a terrific job, by the way, is right in the middle of that. we inherited a system that s broken. it s a system where many people have just it s taken months and months and months to get many people that do not have the complex financial complicated financials, they don t have that. it s still taken months. it s a broken system. it shouldn t take this long. you know how many people are on that list. people with not a problem in the world. that will be up to general kelly. general kelly respects jared a lot. and general kelly will make that call. i won t make that call. i will let the general, who is right here, make that call. but jared is doing some very important things for our country. he gets paid zero. ivanka, by the way, gets paid zero. she gave up a very good, very strong, solid big business in order to come to washington because she wanted to help
jared kushner, who has an interim security clearance and under john kelly s new m mechem would no longer have action toes top security information. is he going to answer this question because he continued to talk about what a wonderful guy he is and what great work he has been doing and so forth. but then he did say he s going to leave it up to general kelly, to his chief of staff, to determine what will happen on that front. and so we will have to see what does happen there, wolf. he also said something that will be controversial. he was talking about the security guards, armed security guards at school. saying that s simply not enough. saying 10 or 20% of the staff should be trained because a security guard doesn t know the children, doesn t love the children. i suspect a lot of those security guard also disagree
