Theres not a connection between his fundraising ability and his abilities as a candidate. i think part of that is because hes not on the ground in these early states in iowa. >> well but, thats, that does seem to be bit of a trend that bush has pulled back a lot of his commitments, advertising and others in the states. i know youve expressed concern about other candidates as sort of pulled back, maybe thats a post-ted cruz phenomenon that hes surging in the state, its his to lose. caucuses are v...

Commitments based on their states is arcane. im not going to pretend to understand it, but theres obviously a better chance that something like that is going to happen this year because you need 1267 delegates, i think, to get the nomination. if you look at the map and go online and play and fiddle around with these things. you can get to scenarios easily where nobody gets to that. . >> james, a brokered convention? >> no, but goodness, wouldnt that be awesome as a political reporter? that would...

Have done that. its arguable. >> one retired military general says the obama administration should collaborate with russia in the fight against isis. >> it seems to me the right answer is to partner with russia to attack isis. because at the end of the day, the power in place, what we have to worry about most in syria is not the syrian rebels, not assad, but isis. >> with setbacks for isis, they report that the terrorist, promise his followers to remain faithful. . t the. and reductions in isis ...

The story of the united states in vietnam would have followed the same course if john f. kennedy had not gone to dallas in 1963. do we know what kennedy would have done if he had lived? theres all sorts of evidence to suggest that he never would have done what lyndon johnson did in vietnam. >> this nation will keep its commitments from south vietnam to west berlin. >> though lbj had experienced the same crises by sitting next to kennedy, he had not come out with the same conclusions. he did not ...

Passed in congress which the administration has the authority to waive will not prevent us from meeting our commitments. he goes on. the congress demanded a change in the way we deal with visas for foreign governments and sponsors terror. yet, kerry is giving him a way around that. >> yeah. i dont like when any administration goes around congress. we have separation of powers for a reason. i think in a broad sense, open borders, open movement of people and goods is the best foreign policy concei...

They will be able to get his jail records, be able to subpoena records from his previous health care providers and probably learn whether or not he has had any other mental health issues or commitments or treatment. they are going to evaluate him anyway. they will use what they find with or without his assistance to make the determination about whether he is competent. >> what do you make of the fact that he wants to represent himself here? he has been interrupting his public defender almost mak...

They want a retrial, they usually say, lets start on monday, the defense lawyers have other commitments. theyre going to push this thing months down the road, which, you know, i think is just, again, bad news for the prosecution. >> i see them retrying the case. for me, this is a political prosecution. i dont think theres any evidence here at all, porter or at least the three officers that took him down, that are responsible for the death of freddie gray here, so, i think that they have to try h...
