Report in the post because it shows a growing number of republican senators are ready to acknowledge president trump's quid pro quo on ukraine, dismissing it as not an impeachable offense. but what exactly are they missing about why this threatens u.s. national security? >> i don't think they're missing the threat to national security, but i do think that they want desperately to avoid impeaching the president. you know, look, the question is, did he do something illegal, like you or i might do something illegal? no, but we're not the president of the united states. the impeachable offense her...

Going to show how one day americans will cry and beg for their life. >> we have christopher dicky, msnbc contributor and what is the difference between the isis threat over a week ago and the isis threat today? >> i think that there may be more motivation on the part of some of the isis partisans and jihadists and would-be jihadists but i don't think that they have any more capabilities today than they had a week ago, maybe they don't have as many as they had a week ago. so i think these are the kind of threats that they make every so often. they would like to take revenge for al baghdadi's de...
