reminder, last week trump again tried to get george's secretary of state to declare and the winner there. still with us are the authors bob woodward and bob costa. bob this isn't the question that lends itself well to a 62nd reply. but i will try. a lot of the people in my life who are smart and thoughtful, some recognizable names from our broadcast, have been in touch with me to say, in their view, right now is the time to worry. your book makes it clear, down to the last page, that we came close. how close are we right now? >> well, you can't predict the future. but what bob costa i and i found in eight or nine months of reporting, going off line, not writing for the washington post or going on television, is that there was a national security crisis in this country.
