Dave on the 25th Amendment: That's the conversation we are in

Published | Video Starts at 00:14

You say, listen, we should be worried. And, you know, there is our founders, our forefathers had some vision on this. They had something called the 25th Amendment, right. And If the people around the president think he's not capable of fulfilling his responsibilities in a time of war, which is what we're in right now, then they have a responsibility to acknowledge that and possibly replace the president. So I think that's a conversation we're in politically. Listen, here's what I think this reinforced. It reinforced that we need new leadership. We need new leadership in the White House.
