objectively to help my child and try to arrange the right assistance if you can. i think too, at least one of the challenges that i face as a parent is that social media did not exist when i was growing up and gary, to your point, my parents were knew where i was at all times and if something was wrong, they could sense it in my demeanor because i wasn t going and venting on social media or there wasn t this kind of other outlet. if you were acting out, people in your community saw it. it wasn t like you could hide in a phone and send messages that nobody else could see. neil: now you can. to that point, the latest revelation that nikolas cruz was acting out and worrying some people who caught his musings on snapchat where he was harming himself, talking about buying a gun, other warnings that i want to be a school shooter, other warnings that were relayed to the fbi, proclivity for other
on the record information we ve got from someone in a position to know because he was there, about how and why that whole investigation started. basically about why we are going through this as a country. i mean that s still the best information and the most direct information we ve got about what the intelligence community saw that freaked them out about the trump campaign. i encountered and am aware of information and intelligence that revealed contacts and interactions between russian officials and u.s. persons involved in the trump campaign. that i was concerned about, and it raised questions in my mind about whether or not the russians were able to gain the cooperation of those individuals. that s what it boils down to.
write letters, they visit, they do all those things. i saw president bush do it, i saw president obama do it. i think all of us in the community saw that. i want to take a step back here. i think what we all found throughout the trump run and the trump presidency is that issues of national security, veterans, military, the stakes are higher, the march of error is smaller. the margin of error is very small. i think you ll see both sides of the aisle hold him accountable on this and hopefully on all issues of national defense, veterans issues and military going forward. there s also a bigger question he didn t answer, hasn t answered. what are they doing in niger? four special forces folks that were killed in niger. we haven t had a national conversation about what they re doing there, what their mission is and what their families and the rest of the military can expect from what might be a prolonged engagement there. yeah, would be nice to know more about that. mr. bash, we asked that
i was surprised. i mean, i ve been in this space now for, you know, a decade and a half. i know presidents call, they write letters, they visit, they do all those things. i saw president bush do it, i saw president obama do it. i think all of us in the community saw that. i want to take a step back here. i think what we all found throughout the trump run and the trump presidency is that issues of national security, veterans, military, the stakes are higher, the march of error is smaller. the margin of error is very small. i think you ll see both sides of the aisle hold him accountable on this and hopefully on all issues of national defense, veterans issues and military going forward. there s also a bigger question he didn t answer, hasn t answered. what are they doing in niger? four special forces folks that were killed in niger. we haven t had a national conversation about what they re doing there, what their mission is and what their families and
