. >> i know we talked about this a little bit before with katie williams i wanted to ask you both lookingwhat's going on with russia and the back and forth right now with president obama. looking forward over the next year, what kind of relationship do you think we might end up having with do you think we may have tighter relations with them >> i think it's an interesting question, donald trump talked up it is a good idea to have a closer relationship with russia, that is not the position of the republican party or the democrat party. it's one of these things where he's very much on his own trying to plow his own on how that will go in the face of presumable. congressional displeasure is an interesting thing >> what do the republicans do. heard earlier senator graham and mckaine will hold hearings, there's now a bipartisan concern about the president being too close to russia. it's frankly a little bizarre to see the tweet today about praising putin yet again. it's just kind of mind boggling this is happening and continues to keep happening. i don't know, once he's president if he do it.

katie bo williams, national security reporter at the hill, a us political website, believes the sanctionsseen as something of an empty gesture. well, there are certainly some critics, republicans and democrats, who have looked at what the obama administration has done today and said, "too little, too late." with regards to the sanctions, the people that are targeted, the organisations targeted by these sanctions are two intelligence agencies and several key officials at one of those agencies. these are not people that are going to have deep involvement with the us financial system. so, from an economic perspective, there is a question about whether or not this will really sting or whether it is largely symbolic. and critics are saying, "i don't know how much bite this will have." clearly, someone in the russian embassy had time to kill and did a creative response involving talk of cold war deja vu, and the last gasp of a political corpse, and the picture of a lame duck. how does mr trump's response strike you? he warned of a rigged election dozens of times. now, after evidence is laid out

to the hill's national security reporter katie bo williams in the latest wrinkle over the battle over privacy. what do you make of this, katie and others are going to screen these as privacy issues, you're going too far, what are they doing? >> part of the larger conversation they think swells up every time there's a lone-wolf attack, which is what are authorities missing? what are investigators missing? is there a piece of the puzzle that they are not able to see or they should be looking at? and i certainly think that you're going to continue to see this play out through the opening years of donald trump's presidency because he certainly has indicated that he sees the key to sort of stopping these lone-wolf attacks, attacks by guys have been potentially self-radicalized as a more robust surveillance apparatus, and whether that means looking at social media, whether that means looking at private communications, there's a lot of ways that can be accomplished. neil: you have to wonder not only what they say on social media, but are you extending it to what they're searching out under s
