i can t help but be impressed by the pace at which they conducted the manafort/gates part of this investigation. i m on record as saying i think this work of mueller will take years. it s made much more complex by international activity, banking, online transactions, e-mail transactions, witnesses overseas. and the fact that they brought something this weighty within six months of bob mueller taking this position is significant. on the papadopoulos piece, i do think that that is like an air burst of fireworks. he is putting others on notice that to give my investigators a false statement, this could be you next. don t do this. typically you don t see 1,001 charges. that s 18 u.s. code, false statements. typically buried in more substantive offenses. hanging on at end.

that president trump stuck to and has continued to stick to is the fact that he is going to listen to his military experts, rely on the advice of general mattis, general kelly and general mcmaster to guide his decisions on matters of national security. number one, isis. he said he would wipe out isis. rather than using the term mother of all bombs because i think a lot of people are sort of making fun of that this is a massive ordinance air burst, okay? never used before. the largest non-nuclear weapon in the american arsenal. only tested back in 2003 in florida. this bomb was going to be saved for the biggest mission of all, and that would be right now defeating isis. do you believe that it was used in the right place, at the right time? 36 isis militants were killed, some would say that number is small. i m placing my trust in that question on general nicholson who did say that was an
the kinds of things that hit the moon also hit the earth. more things hit the earth. you watch the moon to understand how many out there? how big are they? do they travel in storms like meteor showers. bill: more hit the earth than mitt hit the moon? on earth a lot break up in the atmosphere of the really big ones like the one over siberia, those are dangerous once. the small ones are not a big deal. the big ones create a air burst. he that is like a shock wave that caused most of the damage. bill: talk to us about the danger here. the danger is, look it is not enormous danger but it s a real one that s out there. you know we monitor weather and volcanoes and earthquakes all these things. we do almost nothing to monitor all the stuff that is coming at us from space. so that is why it is down to a handful of spanish astronomers who are using two little telescopes looking at moon collecting this information. because nobody else is really
