Hendrix? >> i think we will see a plan. at what point in time, how long does it take to get to 350? it ranges from 10 years to 35 years. quite frankly, it needs to be closer to 10 years to lock in the gains. >> i expect the democrats to run against the president from the right on the navy. 15 seconds to you. do you think a democrat can run as a hawk against a president who has broken the promise? >> i think that has been tried. i dont know if you were watching the democratic national convention ...

Man at a time. the broader question goes to the work that as sang was doing. how he bbtd and then kwentel published the hacked e-mails that he ended up putting on wk i leaks. to anyone interested in the nature to the way the intelligence community function in the contemporary world. >> hings connection to the dossier. whether her campaign told the truth about it and whether some republicans today are trying to make it the central connection to the entire russia probe. despite all that youve hear...

Detail -- she actually had a plan on toughening this body that would prove these kinds of comforter hooked on my controversial deals. she is very knowledgeable on the subject shes a hawk on this issue. for her to pretend like i dont know what was going on stretches credulity and thats one of the reasons we need to have an investigation and really to this point, we have not had a congressional hearing on this. we have not had a grand jury as far as we know. its just shocking to me that there has ...
