the ones that i picked in that book. and there s no one else picking those battles, and so i ve got to take those on and if there s more to take on, to make sure that the party is the party of truth and the party of solutions for citizens in this country, i ll take those on too because you know i ve never hesitated to do that. there s more from that interview with chris christie after a short break. don t go anywhere. er plus cold . dissolves quickly. instantly ready to start working. so you can bounce back fast with alka-seltzer plus. now available for fast sinus relief.

that s what we re all asking and that is where we start today. joining us now is dr. fiona hill, former senior director for europe and russia at the national security council, now senior fellow at the brookings institution and author of the book, there is nothing for you here. also joining us, former director for european affairs for the national security council and author of the book, here right matters. it s a pleasure to see you both and see you together for the first time. we dug around a little bit to see how you all first crossed paths but i want to first ask you about this moment, this extraordinary moment where almost a year after the election, we are still, still listening to and enduring a large swath of our own country who does not believe in the sanctity of our election and our election result. to you first, dr. hill. yes, well, unfortunately, i mean, this is just demonstrating for all of us about how much a
