jacky rosen, senator rosen got to it a bit. >> yes, she did, but other than senator rosen, i didn't really see very much in that direction. and of course there are, you know, 40 plus million people in ukraine waiting to hear exactly what the trump administration is going to do for their country. >> i respect that when marco rubio has his confirmation hearing for secretary of state, we'll hear a lot more about that. natasha, i want you to just stop, and i want our viewers to listen once again to some of the exchange that the new senator from michigan, elissa slotkin, who is a military veteran who is a veteran of the cia, had with him about some of the questions regarding what he views his role as when and if his boss, the president, asks him to do things that a u.s. military, active duty u.s. military should not do in the u.s. >> do you believe there is such a thing as an illegal order that joe biden or any other president donald trump could give? is there anything that a commander in chief could ask you to do with the uniformed military that would be in violation of the u.s. constitution?
