jim himes who sits on the intelligence committee says he has seen no evidence of that whatsoever.clapper says he has seen no evidence of this whatsoever. has the president seen evidence of this or is he making it up? >> no, i don't think he is making it up. i think he believes it. >> because he has seen something or he has a sense? hey, some sense the chinese were hacking, even though i see no evidence of it? >> when you look at his statement on the intelligence community, i don't think he meant it as a knock on him. good lord, the media in the bush era was all over the fact that the intelligence community said that there was -- there were weapons of mass destruction in iraq and then there weren't. so this is like saying the obvious here. i don't think it's meant to be a slur. he's just simply being cautious when it comes to this. and i will say, i think matt may be right here, that he did do a great speech today in poland. i mean, it's really, if i may say, reagan-esque. like reagan's speech in westminster. >> this is the least shocking thing haesz that's happened today, jeffrey

let's bring in connecticut democrat, jim himes, a member of the intelligence committee. good to see you. so that's the quote. "we'll handle north korea." and he added, "we'll handle everything." are you confident in the administration's ability to do just that? >> sorry, chris. i was just saying a little prayer here, sitting on the intel committee as i do, and focusing on north korea as i must, saying a little prayer that we don't handle north korea the way he handled his transgender pentagon announcement or the way they handled the repeal of obamacare or anything else. no, it didn't give me much -- it didn't give me much comfort. i will say, you know, again, i'm as much of an opponent of the idea of foreign policy or any policy by twitter. but i do think the president understands one important thing, which is that china is the country with the leverage here. now, i'm not sure taunting them on twitter is necessarily the way to get them to do what you want them to do. but i do think that he understands that. and i do know that the people around the president understand pe
