>> let me just take a minute, senator graham.thank you for being here, we really do appreciate your work on this. you mention historical averages and things. the historical average of serving the debt is 5.6%, so if we heat up the other things, we're going to have that to contend with. at what point do we have the balance of the debt, and this is an actuarial thing, something we can figure out pretty easily. where is the tipping point there? >> i don't know about a tipping point, but let me tell you, if the economy started to grow, and interest rates rose, which they have in every recovery in the post-war period except this one, debt service costs are going to rise very rapidly. the federal reserve back is going to have to start sopping up liquidity by selling assets. and interest rates are going to rise. and just to give you a number, in the average recovery in post-war america, government borrowed 1.7% a year in competing with the private sector. at normal interest rates in the fifth year of a full-blown recovery, government wo

and it's very complicated, as i think you and graham both know. instance, although it's cut off diplomatic relations with qatar still has thousands of egyptians largely professionals who work in qatar and send a lot of money back to egypt. this is a very interdependent region in the world and we need to understand that and hang together. there are going to be food issues. they stock market went down immediately by 3%. and isn't good for saudi arabia and their airlines which are going to be affected by the connections between the middle east. wooiltd we would have tried to calm the waters. american leadership is not about pitting one country against the other. it's about trying to work through diplomacy backed by a credible threat of force to reach objectives that are in our national security. this is not the way to go about it. >> graham, how does isis see this today? >> isis hasn't commented on this. but isis is thrilled to see its enemies who are muslim and arab fighting each other. they see saudi arabia and qatar both as enemies. saudi arabia h

senator graham is right. they share an agenda on immigration, share an agenda on health care and probably on tax reform. but everything is getting swamped under in this investigation. and the president's comments just keep extending it, extending the conversation about things other than what they want to talk about. plast week was supposed to be infrastructure week and even the president himself couldn't stick to that topic and kept injecting other things into the conversation. it's impossible for the republicans to decide what they can comment on because they're surrounded by microphones asking them what do you think about the president's latest tweet. >> i like the bunny ears you used there. i want to turn to attorney jeff sessions hearing on tuesday. do you think this is a knee jerk reaction? what do you think his calculation is? >> clearly he recognizes thatri russian investigation he needs to trade lightly. testifying in front of the intelligence committee is a good thij. getting it out there. it seems w

lindsey graham earlier said it was a wrestling match.rtain her was a match in which there was no knockout punch. each side had its strong points. the picture of president trump that was presented by james comey even senator lankford said was very inappropriate behavior, the kind of but behavior that is just hard to imagine a president saying those things to his fbi director about an ongoing investigation. but not a knockout punch. i think everybody needs to hunker down now for a long process, this is the final take away. watching the reactions from republicans in the senate, i think it is going to be a very hard to pursue this obstruction of justice theme as long as there is a republican congress, so next year's in the midterm elections, i think in some ways it is going to be a referendum on what we heard this week. >> dickerson: susan, david makes the points that is a political court, this isn't about whether the president can be prosecuted in a court of law so those initial reactions, while people might not have joined in in the white

i thought lindsey graham's comment was pressing. what he's trying to tell the president i don't think you did anything wrong. >> said that. >> but the way you are -- he's trying to encourage him by saying that, i don't believe he did anything wrong. >> this is after the president said on friday 100% in response to jonathan karl's question i'm willing to testify and come in front of congress, which i i had his lawyers saying why would you offer that up. >> that comment from lindsey gra wam was a little bit cute. republicans are concerned something inappropriate and potentially illegal did happen, right, but the way they are framing their conversation about the investigation in order to be safe within a partisan context is to say look, bob mueller is the only one with the credibility to clear you. the fact they may privately have grave concerns whether mueller will clear the president is kind of irrelevant to them at this point if they can get through a short term conversation about the investigation, and then let that investigation g

they spied on lindsey graham, they spied on rand paul. we know this now.unity told lindsey graham, why were they wanting him to be unmasked? all of this as donald trump is trying to push through his policies like the travel ban and getting constant resistance from the left. >> yeah, i'm not afraid of graham or rand paul. america is a melting pot, and we have people who come, and they're not willing to melt. they want us to change into them, and can't do that. we're not going to do that, and we need to have a screening process, and that's what president trump has said from the beginning. it's not a complete ban. it's a screening process to find out do you want to be part of a melting part? do you want to be an american? if you do, we have room for you. but if you want to come and ratify america, we don't have room for that right now. maria: and that's what's going on in a number of places in corners of the france where there are groups that are not assimilating and going by their own law, sharia law and of course we know what that means. governor, thank you
