we're not going to deal with this inflammatory stuff. we're going to try to pass the bills we've been formulating since 2010 and we can get this president to sign them. the one area that seems to be a bridge too far for many of the republicans is this kind of repeated admiration for vladimir putin and the suggestion that the u.s. can sublimate concerns about russian behavior to kind of joint action together. that really is the essence here. if you withdrew the sanctions, for example, you would basically be accepting their moves in crimea and ukraine in return for theoretically more alliance elsewhere, and i think that is where many republicans are saying, that is the point beyond which we cannot go. >> i did mention before the break we had a clip from "saturday night live," and i thought it was interesting that the president had yet to tweet out today because they really went after him, and he had gone after them anytime that they had parodies him. i want you to watch this clip and i'll ask you about it after we watch it.
