Election. so as my colleague at "the atlantic" wrote today, julia yoffey, this is a response 20 times bigger than barack obama, who expelled 35 russian diplomats from the united states. so its a big deal and the world is going to pay notice. i think its getting u.s./russia relations back into a sort of no illusion track, and thats, to be honest, quite healthy. >> do you see this as healthy, rick, and what do you think the message is that vladimir putin was sending? >> you know, i dont necessaril...

Of anthony scar much chi. now senator collins of main, mike, announced they would block the opening of debate on the alternative to obama, one that was backed by 47 of the senates 52 republicans. these four republican senators with assists from republican dean heller of nevada and ron johnson unraveled it. whats left is, well, obamacare. absent some sort of legislative lazarus obamacare remains the law of the land. spicers departure caused a lot of talk, but the senate appeals of republican powe...

>> well, shes a young woman in a short skirt and crop top which would be normal enough in most places around the world, but not in saudi arabia. and specifically not in a rof vince of kingdom that is the birth place of the kingdoms ultra conservative school of islamic thought. lets be clear, anyone who lives in saudi or travels to saudi would know that modesty laws dictate women must be suitably covered in public. long loose robes, headscarves, some cover their faces. so authorities took her in ...

Cord roe. kari there were six people in the meepgt. er the two mts and rick tell ersz laugh are rof and the two translateser we didnt get agreement on what was said in the meeting. this is atypical. there is no third party read out. in fact we dont know what trump said to putin and what putin actually said back to him about hacking t hacking the 2016 sfwleeks we dont. whats interesting about what rex tillerson said is that -- what he said is that the american people -- that the president express...

The lieutenant governor tweeted about this, there are a lot of businesses who are around those beach, who depend on holiday weekends, frankly, for a big chunk of the money, the prof its they make that allow them to keep operating and allow them to continue to employ people, especially over the summer at the shore in new jersey. is it appropriate in a situation like this, which is rare, to put the constituents who hired you ahead of what your family might want to do on the beach? or let them go t...

If he asked his team in advance, id like to share this information and then there would have been a proper prof coordinating that. he did not do that. he could have chosen to say briefly to the russians, there is some information id like to share with you and it will be coming to you soon and then he could have followed a proper procedure. the fact that he chose to do neither illustrates many of the adjectives that have been thrown out there, whether its reckless, impulsive or childish. i think ...

America first ethos, and in my opinion, and this is not consistent with what donald trump ran on except that i think that it is the right thing to do. i mean, there is the obvious humanitarian compassionate element that is contradictory rof the america-first ideology, but you know, there is a thing to be said for having people be afraid of you and having people think that you are maybe a little bit unpredictable, and this reminded me and i will get to it before jeffrey lord -- >> ronald reagan. ...
