army and colonel lawrence wilkerson. thank you for joining me today. >> thanks for having me. >> i want to turn to you, colonel, for you first. i have to share with you, watching the president having these allegations was not surprising but as someone who in my family has served, my cousin served, my stepbrother served, it was jarring to hear him say this. are you surprised by these allegations? >> well, i'm not surprised at all. i don't really know why anyone is surprised. this man has been this sort of person for the last three years. i am as former secretary of defense said yesterday, i am surprised at the disgraceful reprehensible disgusting way that apparently he has talked about the american military. it is a responsibility of the president of the united states as commander in chief in that role to do everything he can to keep the morale in good order and discipline at the military at the highest possible levels. this is disruptive to a major degree of that good order and discipline and that morale so he's not doin

and retired colonel lawrence wilkerson, who spent three decades in the u.s. army. congressman, your view of this issue and why it matters at a time when there's obviously much going on. >> yeah. my view is that there is just something very disturbing and strange about the mounting evidence of this lack of respect that we see coming from the white house. and that's really what it is. i don't think any of us really have to waste too much time and energy litigating what was said, what was not said. i mean i wasn't there, but i know that the president -- what he did. he did not go to visit the marine graves at belleau wood. and for someone who served in the marine corps, you learn about it on the first day of boot camp. that battle was so historic, and it made the reputation of the marine corps forever. somehow general dunford got there and somehow john kelly got there despite the rain and the traffic and whatever. the president should have been there, and it's consistent with other things i've seen in the last few years that speak about his priorities. >> colonel? >>
