Chairman rogers, what do you make of this new "washington post" report now? >> its very concerning for me if it in fact is true. the president seems to have a very hollywood, sinister view of what american intelligence is about and not concerned with the russians and how they conduct themselves around the world. a, its absolutely wrong and, b, its a little offensive because youre telling our adversaries its kind of okay to do what you do, keep at it. that is, in my mind, a little bit dangerous. ...

End of last week this is likely to be a very short interim appointment. trump is looking at other candidates and facing some pressure to not select whitaker for the permanent job. well see how long it lasts. >> eric, youve interviewed whitaker in the context of iowa and politics. whats your measure of the man? >> you know, listen, i think hes a political animal. you know, going back to kens point, in the position in the camp that he cant be attorney general because the constitution constitutiona...

This time. >> eric ericsson, this is your home state. what do you make of this statistic? >> you know, look, i definitely think stacy abrams ran a campaign different from other democrats weve seen in the last 20 years where she ran a progressive campaign. most democrats sounded republican. she ran a campaign on gun control issues, getting rid of some private school initiatives in the state. so i definitely think that hurt her, but actually, she got closer to the republicans than anyone else and ...

Why dont i just fire mueller? >> just fire the guy? >> i think its a disgrace whats going on. well see what happens. but i think its really a sad situation when you look at whats happened. many people said i should fire him. >> could that get him impeached? david jolly served from florida. i want to start with you on the republican side of this. you just heard that theory from eric ericssons blog, an anonymous house member saying once the republicans are past their primaries this year that if tr...
