Three-star General, H.R. McMaster, former National Security Advisor under Donald Trump,

and he wrote a great bestselling book about those years. He is now an administration with the Hoover

Institute Senior Fellow. The name of his book is At War with ourselves, my tour of duty in the Trump

White House. General, great to see. First off, things at hand. The president's going to
