One of the largest agencies in the government. you also have an administration that says the next goal -- jeff sessions said this -- is to go after naturalized citizens who may have filled out their applications wrong and kicked them out of the country. i dont trust an administration led by a man who lied to us for eight years saying he thinks barack obama is from another country. if you dont think i.c.e. can start getting sick on american citizens, youre not paying attention to whats been happe...

There was there is collusion. what he sees is what the russians will say. >> david, your thoughts? >> i want to look at another aspect of it. that is that i think whats so problematic is that the administration led by the presidents view on this is that its a hoax, that its a fake news, that its a way to delegitimize im. it is his security and ego leading him to make a judgment about this, instead of protecting the institution of the presidency, protecting our electoral system. the russians trie...

Administration led to the destabilization to iraq. >> it doesnt matter. nothing to do with isis. i will go with petraeus all day long. >> me too. >> then you are not disagreeing with me. >> not on that point. >> now penn, is in a new movie about an assassin with a gun. is he shooting people all over the screen in the movie. but, in real life, here is what he says. go. >> i think guns are not something to be messed.

Beefs up missile defense in alaska, it will come online in 2017. so that is four years from now. i think north korea could act before that if it had a mind to. this is now almost 20 years, bret, since the crisis so to speak on korean peninsula broke out in first clinton term. this has been going on and on since that time. heading to perpetual extortion or miscalculation and break sooner than we would like. >> bret: representative franks had a statement released today. its unfortunate it has take...
