Doesnt get. but its really offensive that the government goes and asks what color your skin is or what language your grandfather spoke. no legitimate function of government, of american government, i see the south africans did this, why would we ask peoples color or race or religion? they dont ask religion, but they do ask race. they do ask ethnicity. thats nonsense. if you are a person you are a person and we should go away from the three fifths discussion part of the nation to everybody who is...

Turned down by a lawyer, though some are conflicted. the turmoil couldnt come at a more crucial time as the presidents attorneys, the attorney who was doing it isnt there anymore, john dowd, negotiated an interview between trump and muellers investigators. my panel, christine quinn and matt welch. how was this not vetted, either by the white house or by them? >> i dont understand it. we were talking at the break, the wife is a lawyer. ive been asked to be in different boards in government capaci...

Seeing a difference behind the scenes with republicans? >> i think there is a growing concern and sense of alarm on capitol hill, i think you saw that yesterday in how they talked about putins congratulatory call. bob costa, i know you did reporting on the meeting the policy lunches had on tuesday where they talked about bob mueller and the presidents threats to fire bob mueller or apparent threats to fire bob mueller that generated remarkable concern. mitch mcconnell was stronger than i expecte...

My good friend who represents a tough district in illinois, sherry bustos, we have a running joke going in the mornings, i represent fairfield county, connecticut, shes in the heartland, shes in a district that we need to figure out how to win again. every monday morning when i see sherry, she says "my constituents still arent asking me about russia." the point there is if the democratic party doesnt get focused -- and im not sure were doing this well -- if were not focused on kitchen, table iss...

Happened. now even his key white house advisor on national security h.r. mcmaster admits that the evidence is incontrovertible. what does donald trump do. does he say its outrageous and an unsupportable outrageous attack on american security and met with sanctions? he spends the weekend in a twitter storm attacking everyone else except russia. this raises the most profound questions about how he reacts to a significant challenge to the united states, which is ongoing. last week we heard from the...

Me, both hillary and obama -- trump supporters, something to say, you know what? this is serious. weve got to unite. we need to quit the circular firing squad. we need to be on the same side as against the russians. 80 employees and a $1 million a month budget, this is such a serious thing i would think everybody in the united states congress would come back to washington on monday and say lets do something about this and lets do it now. >> havent they done that? >> our commander in chief -- whe...

That its real and that it is warfare -- i mean you used the right word there. this is part of the russian view of warfare. its on that spectrum. we were attacked. this is the big thing today. they came into our country. they organized an effort to -- and this is the other thing that doesnt get recognized here. they attacked hillary clinton because she went after putin repely. this is revenge by putin. believe this was personal by him to get back at her. >> but also one thing we also didnt mentio...

Show where his head on this and what he fundamentally doesnt get. lets bring in maggie haberman. you reported his aides have been asking him to do more. thats a dumb thing he just put out. while all of those things are true, none of them, you can call the police all you want. your not taking this young mans gun away from him. >> thats right. >> he either doesnt understand how the law works or he is being glib and trying to cast blame somewhere else. >> or a combination of both. we may still hear...

Corners. heres what we can do. there are 11 states still in, i think, in this country that require you to report a lost or stolen firearm. if i do the math correctly, that leaves 39 that dont. so if you own a weapon, you lose it or its stolen, you dont have to report it, so it disappears. we know straw purchases are illegal, but in most states -- and its definitely not against federal regulation -- you can gift a firearm to a family member, and it doesnt get reported. we know about the gun show ...

I own weapons. i have a concealed carry permit because im a retired 1811 law enforcement officer. i was a former s.w.a.t. team leader. i graduated from west point. i understand weapons. im a hunter. i appreciate the utility in our society. but we get to this place where we go, we cant touch this third rail on the subway because if you do that, we retreat to our corners. heres what we can do. there are 11 states still in, i think, in this country that require you to report a lost or stolen firear...
