Foreign minister. Joining me now our msnbc legal analysts cynthia, and glen kergsner, and malcolm nance. Even though its sunday and im alert and awake, clearly i cant read. Thank you very much for being here.

Al franken on his resignation and his regrets. If its monday, its meet the press daily. Im steve kor nar knacki in for todd.
