Rex Tillerson is in charge of our state department and Rex Tillerson is a man of extraordinary probity and the president has confidence in Secretary Tillerson.

He was making a humorous comment.

The United States has more, possesses more power than the world has ever seen.

The president has expressed rhetorically, great resolve to ensure that we will not be put at risk nor compromised by North Korea.

And that's a real national security issue.

Donald Trump Jr.'s e- mails that showed to me is a guilelessness, in a sense.

But nothing happened and nothing illegal was represented even in that communication.

It is essential that we defend what this country is about and what it represents so that we can indeed, counter enemies like Russia.

Politics is a tough and dirty business.

I would have been absolutely shocked, because I was just running for Congress.
