And trumps congratulatory call to putin is hard to square. it makes you think that trump -- his national security apparatus basically said you have no choice here, you have to do this. but trump does not want to be the face of this action and that is something that of course is perplexing and a question people have been asking for two years now. in terms of whether or not were going to see any further action, there could be. russia is known to escalate this via tit for tat but they havent always...

Do you agree with that? >> i understand what richard is saying and hes right. the problem here is that the president put himself into such a box with his bizarre lack of any kind of action against vladimir putin for the last 15 months, no criticism of him and especially that phone call last tuesday so he had no choice but to join the other 22 countries, he could not be the outlier, he could not join the eu in this. but i agree entirely with natasha, there should have been a presidential statemen...

Nobody benefits from that. why arent we sounding the alarm about that do you think? >> we put so much focus, especially in the democratic party on freedom for women. and freedom for women is a wonderful thing. i was on the board of directors for the national organization of women in new york city for many years, as you know. but freedom for women stops when they make the free choice to have children. and then a different question has to emerge which is what is best for the children? we see evide...

Having children be involved with both fathers. mothers are doing a huge amount of wonderful, hard work, loving and caring for their children. >> tucker: yes. >> that is why they deserve the biological father to be involved. and when we tell the biological father not only are you important but the way that you father is important, thee way that you enforce boundaries and the way you encourage exploration and encourage kids to get up and try again.n. the way you encourage adventure and risk-taking...

Just because he does not want to have what is left of a savings account cleaned out, i think that that is disgusting. and rather than obsessing and worrying about russia for another two years, i would like us to seriously address what is wrong with federal prosecution and what is wrong with the fbi and the doj and clean it up! because it is not respectable. and americans who should be ashamed of it. >> tucker: but thats what we are supposed to do in the media, arent we? looking up her bullies ab...
