So hes been throughout his time in office a kind of foil to president trump, that every time there is this mention of military action or possibility of that coming from the white house, hes been the one to say, no, no, we are focused on diplomacy, although he says there is a time when diplomacy could run out and left that open-ended. and when his new assistant for public diplomacy today was asked the same question, why does he feel like things are going okay on the diplomacy front with north kor...

About his future at the state department? >> i felt like everyone was waiting for that to come up baurks hes been criticized by so many in washington. and just yesterday a letter came out from a very honored and respected diplomate leaving and wrote a scathing letter about him. so today he said does he enjoy his job. he said hes working on enjoying it, but acknowledged it is difficult. what he said lately how is he intends to stick with it and committed to the state department. and he often thro...

Far out in front of the horse here, but this is why democrats look at alabama tonight and say, if we can win there, change one seat, it makes the math better for them in 2018, because theyll have one more seat. but number two, the intensity, the optimism, the confidence will help with candidate recruitment, help with fund-raising. so tonight, its like a two-head, but scott brown one the teddy kennedy seat in massachusetts. democrats are hoping to flip the table. >> the democrats need 51. the rep...
