thank you very much. >>> joining me now democratic congressman jim himes of connecticut. thanks very much for joining us. does it look like to you that jared kushner has something to hide? >> well, that's kind of the key question. you know, i was listening to what his attorney just said, which was not true. when a congressional committee makes a request for documents, they're very specific in the documents they want to see. there was no agreement to say we'll give you what the intelligence committee got and then talk about it. there was a very specific list of documents requested by the senate committee. of course, as you pointed out, it was a bipartisan letter. it came from a republican senator and a democratic senator. so that part is just plain wrong. now what may be true, and this gets to the answer of your question, it may be true that this is an honest mistake, but, you know, it may even make jared kushner look good if, in fact, these documents suggest he was waving off contacts with the russians, but this is probably, you know, we're in now two or three dozen episo

most recent election of memory serves me, the biggest vote getter in the statewide election was jim himes who is the attorney general. i've known jim because i did work in the civil rights division down and mississippi. jim is a very popular leader because he is a great leader. hillary clinton that something or 45% of the vote of mississippi and there was no ground operation at all. do ifgine what you can you are actually out there talking to people. i think democrats can win in mississippi, tennessee, just about anywhere if we are investing in this infrastructure and recruiting the candidates like the quality candidates we have defending our seats in the u.s. senate right now. >> to take you back to the governor's race, why do you think this is a close? i know votes are all over the place but this is not like running in montana or georgia. this is a state that has elected a democratic president. why is it closer than say, new jersey? and could you talk a little bit about what you think is at stake for the party as a whole and winning this. because some democrats are worried. if you don't

we will talk to angus king and jim himes with the select committee on him intelligence. o, fisher investmentshave hidden and layered fees. fisher investments never does. and while some advisers are happy to earn commissions from you whether you do well or not, fisher investments fees are structured so we do better when you do better. maybe that's why most of our clients come from other money managers. fisher investments. clearly better money management. we're on a mission to show drip coffee drinkers, it's time to wake up to keurig. wakey! wakey! rise and shine! oh my gosh! how are you? well watch this. i pop that in there. press brew. that's it. so rich. i love it. that's why you should be a keurig man! full-bodied. are you sure you're describing the coffee and not me? pepsoriasis does that. full-bodied. it was tough getting out there on stage. i wanted to be clear. i wanted it to last. so i kept on fighting. i found something that worked. and keeps on working. now? they see me. see me. see if cosentyx could make a difference for you- cosentyx is proven to help people with moderate to severe

. >> democratic congressman jim himes tweeted this -- "kaepernick, khan, cast of "hamilton," rep wilson," who is the florida representative that the president took on about the condolence calls, "lavar ball, apart from hillary clinton, his infan tile attacks correlates with skin color." you talk about how he targets twitter feuds. does he target them by skin color, or is there something else? >> we don't know what motivates him, but it's been part of the pattern of the presidency. whether it's directly attacking african-americans or his comments about puerto rico or his silence in charlottesville, race seems to be part of the mix. we can't understand exactly what motivates him, but i think the criticism is there and the criticism is there for a reason. >> because it's not just hillary. the president has twitter feuds with people of all races, all skin colors, but it does seem like there's a pattern developing there. >> there is. and you know, he lashed out at jeff flake, senator jeff flake this weekend after this hot mike moment where jeff flake essentially said, if we become the party
