He said it was inevitable that sessions would have to recuse himself from the russia investigation because it was so problematic. so a whole host of questions around that. whether or not he complied rightly with his recusal when it came to the firing of comey, a whole host of important questions. >> let me ask you, weve been talking around the table about how perhaps the focus is on the wrong cover-up for the wrong crimes. i wondering if its of interest to you, my understanding of senator sessio...

Changed the language for the first time in the history of the republican party platform process. and think about -- john mccain was the gop nominee in 2008. mitt romney described russia as our greatest geopolitical adversary. trump comes along and changes the only policy language that i think changed was around russia. so isnt it -- arent we trying to find out whether sessions was involved in meetings with kislyak and other russians around that policy change? >> well, i do think that it all goes...

Bit about your conversation. i absolutely think thats a very important part of this conversation. why did you see that change in the platform? and to go to another part of comeys testimony, you know, trump -- president trump asked him about a whole lot of things, but he never asked him about russian interference in our democratic elections. and i think that this is going to be an area of increasing inquiry. right after the testimony comey gave, i was on the floor of the senate pointing out that ...

Policy platform if he is going to run but at this point, its all speculation. al franken is definitely going to try to run. >> thats kind a celebrity. >> for the record, i like the rock and i dont want to get on the rocks bad side. i want to make that clear. >> they predicted that a star and a wrestler -- >> it wasnt south park, it was my judge. you are thinking of beavis and butthead. i hate being the only cultural expert at fox news. >> what do you think of electing or we vote for the biggest ...

He sort of admits he would have to come up with some specific policy platform if he is going to run but at this point, its all speculation. al franken is deftly going to try to run. its because thats kind a celebrity. >> for the record, i like the rock and i dont want to get on the rocks bad side. i want to make that clear. >> they predicted that a star and a wrestler -- >> it wasnt south park, it was my judge. you are thinking of beavis and butthead. i hate being the only cultural expert at fox...

Be this wonderful fantasyland but there were a lot of issues with her policy platform. i think wed still be doing this work. the segment is "growing up trump," but we grew up obama and there were still a variety of issues to fight against. that would be the case whether or not trump was in office. i just think there is more energy behind it now. >> there may be more energy. one of the things well talk with the trump folks coming up next is that young people who were trump supporters were far mor...

Being taken away. you think thats fake news? >> no, i dont think its fake news, i think the polls are going to fluctuate and it is absolutely true that a in-place entitlement is more difficult to fix and unravel and provide something else. i understand that. republicans need to understand it, too. this is why rand paul says we cant just repeal obamacare, we have to legalize choice and freedom. >> that point you made about its hard to undo something, status quo bias. and matts point about the rev...

Understanding. thanks for being with us. we have been talking about donald trumps first comments pushing back against the white supremacist speech given in washington and members of the audience cheering with the stiff arm salute, threatening language and bullying online as well. anti-muslim and anti-immigrant groups and individuals. is it enough for them to say he disavows the groups? >> its an excellent first step to disavow the groups, but what might be even more important is to change his la...

To see hillary clinton not president. why? because her policy platform on syria is essentially one of intervention. she has come out in favor of safe zones and no-fly zones and touring russia from the skies over aleppo. why is this important from a u.s. national security point of view? dont take my word for it. the fall of aleppo is not just a hum humanitarian crisis, but a population one. the people will be radicalized and it looks horrible for the united states and a call to groups like isis. ...
