Donald trump will likely have one or two more at least supreme court nominees that he is now going to be able to put on with not a single democrat able to object. and with the need of only 51 republicans. and i think that will drag the court in extremely conservative direction. and i dont think it was necessary. interesting to me to listen to the comments from the floor of people working in a human institution, decrying the partisanship and then unable to come together to solve the problem. ther...

Weapons. there may be an unfortunate coincidence. >> do you think that russia fully knew about this attack? theyve been indicating that they didnt necessarily. theyve actually put out a different story about it being an attack on a weapons detail. what do you think of the russian connection? >> all of our intelligence suggests, and i spent a lot of time in jordan. i follow syria every day. theres nothing that the assad regime undertakes militarily. particularly via its air force that is not comp...

What does this tell you about how intention the north korean side of the equation is? >> two things, chris. first, i think this is another attempt to perfect the missile capability targeted on u.s. bases in korea and japan based on the type of missile. secondly, this is north koreas way of giving the finger to the united states and china before the big meeting this week and to say they dont really care what the united states or china is going to do. as will said, they are set on developing a bal...

President is looking to get out of this meeting? >> well, what both militaries, the egyptian and the u.s., have a long history of cooperating together over the years -- exercises, training, use of egyptian bases. but the world has changed with president el ceci in power in egypt. a lot of criticism of his human rights record. like michelle said, the u.s. wants him to go after terrorists, wants him to go after the brotherhood, to go after isis, which is very much taking hold in sinai, a big conce...

Team wins the national title. >> the world champion chicago cubs getting their title defense against the cardinals, wilson contreras gets a hold of this one, the three-run shot ties the game but in the bottom of the ninth randle grichuk with the bases loaded cardinals beat the cubs in the opener 4-3. the first pitcher ever to hit not one, but two home runs on opening day. too bad the giants play in the national league. giants would go on to lose the

Senate is as it relates to these federal nominations. >> thats exactly right. and heres one -- just one lingering thought. weve got to go, chris. it is huge, this nuclear option is a huge deal in d.c. it does matter. but when you talk about voters and the calculations a few senators have in their decision, does the nuclear option, if you change the rules of the senate, does it matter to voters later on? i would venture to guess the answer is no. >> so, ill say this, not at all with a small cavea...

Documentation that she used to justify to, again, the national security agency, this u.s. citizen needs to be unmasked. if this was a fisa case, that is a foreign source inside the united states, very, very strong inhi bases against this. even if youre tapping somebodys lines overseas, youre not supposed to do this without the justification. >> y andh are in the same place, what is the justification or doing this? hugh, i want to bring this back to, now were looking at three different things. we...

Its just what will be different. is trump willing to actually use unilateral american military force against north korea. hes going to maybe threaten that in private, but will he actually do it. you dont want to make empty threats with dhichina. >> what would be the possible repercussions if undeindeed to t alone with north korea? >> theres a variety of things. if it were a military strike the u.s. could setback the north korean nuclear program. the danch ger is north korea ha large number of ar...

Reach out to all parties and trying to work together to gate principle based solution. what should have happened with obamacare is you start with true repeal bill and get it through the house and work through the senate procedures when you got to work to compromise to get the bill through then you start doing that. instead of starting with the bill that the house leadership gave them which is doom to fail, you need to go back to the bases and repeal bill. he can work with the republican party pa...

This request for immunity makes perfect sense. if he hasnt yet been approached by investigators, perhaps hes trying to accelerate the timeline somehow and look, since we know none of the back story and details, perhaps none of this has to do with russia at all. perhaps there are some other things at play here. but the bottom line is that general flynn is entitled to these protections and i also think he has the watergate story in mind here. remember, richard nixon during the watergate process wa...
