Addressing what motivates his thinking about russia. i mean, he could have gone and said, you know, this, this particular incident, i saw sputnik. ive been interested. i think the whole countrys political correctness is wrong, but by not seriously explaining why he wants to think in a different way about russia than the whole majority of people, and you could see the cold war atmosphere in the tillerson hearings today. that he did him and his nominee for secretary of state no favors, i thought o...

Frederik pleitgen with us. i assume they are watching closely. >> reporter: good morning, miguel. i assume they are watching closely and angry and frustrated by the senate armed services committee. it seems they are happy about what they are seeing on trumps twitter feed. especially that tweet that christine mentioned about the servers that the fbi department didnt access. that is at the center of the sputnik news agency report. they say that work is outsourced by the fbi and done by a company a...

Than i do. >> so, gramps, i shouldnt say that. gentlemen, i want to ask you russia is responding and even the embassy tweeting out a picture with the lame duck on it. a russian spokesperson said this. the people who have been living for eight years in the white house are not in an administration. they are a group of foreign policy losers, angry and dull. today obama officially admitted it. but as a russian proverb goes, obama cannot be broken with a whip. i mean, it sounds similar to some of the...
