6:41 am
an intent. it is somebody engaged in combat actively against the united states. he go so into hypotheticals. would we have bombed jane fonda? no. and then he talked about kent state, but his examples were ridiculous, i thought. >> well kent state -- >> stephanie: no, the president -- but drones against war protesters? no. >> but that's what the national guard did. they killed students protesting war. >> stephanie: right. i understand -- trust movie to fill three hours a day, so i understand, filling 13 hours, you have going to say ridiculous things. i say ridiculous things just for three hours. >> right. i should play them all back for you -- >> stephanie: no! i could never run for office. i said what now. richard from chicago.

>> caller: hi, like the show. we're flying drones and killing people, now -- >> stephanie: wait. wait. richard to go to chris's argument about again why we don't need to do it here is because we have law enforcement and jurisdiction here -- what do we do in pakistan? >> well, we declare war on them might be a start -- >> stephanie: we should declare war on pakistan. >> caller: we're killing people there, and we did it in vietnam -- >> stephanie: i disagree we should declare war on pakistan -- >> we have killed a lot of civilians in pakistan -- >> stephanie: but do i have a problem of going into pakistan which is exactly what obama said he would do. they will not help and they had

6:44 am
suspect, so he has to make sure at every turn that the government is not going to be doing something bad, and it struck me as a kind of -- one of the things that made me feel sad about it is can we no longer operate with any kind of assumption that the government isn't going to do something like this internally? >> i think a slight mistrust of what the government does is actually healthy. >> caller: well, i do too, chris. that's the whole business of why -- i agree with you completely on that. >> i had major distrust for the bush cheney administration. >> stephanie: right. >> caller: exactly. can i say one thing slightly naughty? >> stephanie: yes. >> caller: that point of entry may not be the way to get to my eyes, but it is the way to get to my heart.
