Decent. >> robert, the implication there is that, i don't want to say he's indecent, but he's not decent maybe is the way. the way he comports himself. the way he talks is not. but here's a question i get a lot. i'll give it to you. if you know if you're flake or you're corker or any of a number of people that the president have gone after, i think chris illizza did a list and said 21% of republicans in the senate have been the target of this president, that tells you where the in fighting level is. why do it if he goes after you? >> you have to look at yourself in the mirror. it's called putt...

Asking for immunity. one thing after another it seems things keep dropping, right? any connections you see there? >> that is -- it just seems, as i said to ken, it seems like there is this dovetail that something has to connect. the question of manafort, the question of flynn, the question of all these things where there's all this smoke and then we know the russians were actively trying to do things. there seems like there's got to be a connection here but so far, the ample evidence that defines all these -- that links all these things has so far somewhat been flimsy, i have to say. it's kind...
