sanjay gupta, along with retired colonel randall larson, a retired terror expert. dana was talking about and capturing it so eloquently was just the fear that this creates. and obviously not linked to this event. this understanding is they weren't certainly talking -- did he choosehis time to do it because of this, who knows. >> right. >> but ricin itself, how hard is it to get ahold of and how dangerous is it? >> three things you want to think about. how hard it is to get ahold of, how easy it is to weaponize and then disseminate. it's caster bean oil. so you can get caster beans for sure. but that second step, erin, to turn into a weapon of some sort is hard. you've got to make it into these very small particles that potentially could be inhaled into the lungs. so i think in general, turning it into a weapon is a tough thing to do. it's scary, as you point out, anxiety-provoking. and if it did turn into a weapon, it could be very deadly. but i think that that's hopefully not what we're talking about here. >> and colonel larson, talking about the form it could tak

lars larson, thank you. glad we could it technically hook up with you. >> thank you, larry. >>> one thing i've been calling for above everything else, constantly, all the time, is pro-growth tax reform. i want lower rates, i would like a broadened base and there are reports today that we may actually be getting close to a bipartisan senate deal to make that happen. can it be true? color me skeptical. we're about to ask one of the senators working on that deal up next. and later on a wild day on wall street, including a market meltup, and love that. insider trading scandal, can't stand that. jcpenney buyout, isn't that interesting. and a surprising voice calling for the fed to stop easing. and don't forget that pre market capitalism is the best path to prosperity. i'm in the after glow of the great margaret thatcher. and he will be back to attack paul krugman's attack on him later in the show. i'm kudlow. she changed england and nobody like krugman can change that. we'll be right back.

host: randall larson. here's a headline. investigators set for smallest of clues. what's the process like as investigators look for some of this physical details of this attack? guest: this is one of the things the last decade or so, i have at times been critical of the f.b.i. and some of their responses to 9/11. i wrote a book called "our own worst enemy" about some of the dumb things we did and it i give great credit to their level of investigation. you look at their historic record. the 1993 attacks on the world trade center. the bomb they put put on the basement, they figured out quick enough so when the idiots that set the bomb went back to their rental car place to get their deposit back on their truck, it was f.b.i. agents behind the counter waiting for them. look how quickly they traced down timothy mcveigh. one of the things we're best at in the united states is the forensics that took place after one of these attacks which is why whenever last bomb attack like mumbai or whatever, they request these f.b.i. experts to go over there and do it. i was very pos
