of how shocked you that admiral gilday was so arrogant and dismissive, and actually defending that?it's still hard for me to believe. as someone who wore the uniform, who raised my right hand and served in the united states navy, to now note that the highest ranking admiral in the entire navy would poach out a book and tell sailors to read it teaches our sailors that america is evil and racist, that the united states navy is racist is extremely baffling to me. at the fact that he couldn't defend it, ask him later in the exchange, what part of this book is so redeeming that would put it on your list of books that you would recommend to sailors to read? not only was he unable to answer, he refused to answer that question. >> laura: first of all, he said he read the book. if you actually believe he read the book? i mean, congressman, course. it of course he didn't read the book. >> if he read it he wouldn't of put it on his list. i like to read, this is a reading list that has been in my inbox for nearly a decade. i often read books from the reading list of the highest ranking admiral,
