He calls them my generals, which i think really speaks to the way he perceives them. he thinks he can, you know, they serve him and only him. but i think the key is that they serve you constitution, that i are there to protect our constitution, our country. i think general kelly and the others in this position will continue to need to do that, even risking the ire of president trump. >> you raised such an important point, ned, congress woman, i wonder if you could speak to that here. its not his...
