Are you are?
You suggesting that the President is not the commander in Chief? The military.
I am suggesting that the President is going to put in charge somebody who's going to contravene the Constitution and at some near point this conversation will look very silly for you because it would be obvious. Right now you're grass fighting. Gonna. Get to the actual rubber of the. Of. It will be clear.
I'm I'm interested in this conversation. He's going to put someone in charge who will contravene the Constitution. What do you mean by that? The president is in charge of the military, is he not? Right. You said he's going to put someone in.
I mean the, I mean, the President is in charge of the military.
Of. Military.
Is how it works.
This is this is important but cover.
So yeah, I mean I that's why I'm letting you have. Yeah. I mean, I think it is important because there is this perception that Trump does want to push the boundaries of what is. What is in his constitutional? Lane and his staff secretary said that apparently he signed an executive order saying that only he and the attorney general get to say what the law is.

That I don't think he has done anything in the first month that is outside the bounds of the power vested in him by the Constitution he was elected president. We, according to the Constitution, vest all executive authority and a president. And the concept that the military should be an independent agency or that the bureaucracy should resist the political leadership of this government is extraordinarily dangerous.
That's that's strong.
