that, again, from admiral michael mullen, former joint chiefs chair. let's go to virginia, it's michelle, our line for others. you're on span span. what do you think, michelle? caller: thanks for taking my call. i'm a gold star wife, and i want to say, i will volunteer to be water boarded for every american life that i can keep from being beheaded by the enemy. just saying. being water boarded, you cannot even compare to people being, losing their head on the internet by the enemy. so the fact that they even tried to compare the two is ludicrous to me. >> all right, appreciate the call. let's go over to indianapolis. it's marcia, also on our line for republicans. marcia, what do you think, a different view or do you support ms. haspel? caller: i support ms. haspel. i think she has said all the right things, and i think that she has answered very well everything that she was asked. i think some of the -- you think, i think she really sounds like she is a good person and follows the rules. and i think sometimes people have done things that maybe later on

former joint chiefs of staff michael mullen gave a speech that got a little bit overshadowed by trumpe iran nuclear deal. he warned that he thinks we're closer to nuclear war with north korea than ever before. because if the summit doesn't go well, we're back to talking about military actions. so i think it's a little early for trump to be counting his ducks. he's having a nice run on these foreign policy issues dominating the headlines, pushing out the stories he doesn't like. and the rewards could be very high. but the risk remains extremely high. so i think right now, we have to be very cautious about it. >> let's continue the febreeze metaphor. febreeze only masks major odors. so if there's a major failure on either front, north korea or iran, like michael says, in the end, what matters is the results. it matters how this ends. we took a huge gamble in scrapping this iran agreement. and now according to state department briefing that was on background, without really a plan b for what is going to happen. it's possible that the iranians could cry uncle and give us a better deal. or

attitude towards the president and the fact that you are thinking of running with michael bloomberg? >> admiral mullen time that i was focused with michael bloomberg on the possibilities. it never really came to fruition and in the end i honestly came to a point with my family that it really wasn't my kind of life or that we would pursue anything like that. >> chris: admiral, thank you. thank you for coming in today and pursuing this and talking to us. >> admiral mullen: thanks. >> chris: up next we will bring in our sunday group to discuss a foreign policy landscape that is shifting rapidly. plus, now that we have a date and location, what would you like to ask the panel about the trump-kim summit? just go to facebook or twitter, @foxnewssunday, and we may use your question on the air. >> chris: coming up, president trump keep some of their major campaign promise, pulling out of the iran nuclear deal. >> america will not be held hostage to nuclear blackmail. >> chris: we will ask our sunday panel about the fallout and prospects to negotiate a new >> today's action sends a critical message. the united

look, mullen's intentions have already been questioned and they are further going to be questioned as we get additional information. michael mukasey who was the attorney general under george w. bush recently penned an op-ed for "u.s.a. today" saying that rosenstein had no evidence and no basis for the special counsel investigation to begin with. you had a federal judge in the manafort case basically saying that some of the charges against man ford were purely designed to go after president trump to bring impeachment and political harm against him. so i think the more information that we learn, the nor you're going to have voices coming out against the mueller investigation and concerns that a lot of this is political. >> katie: david, the big concern with the special counsel is they would have unlimited authority. that's why the congressman are asking about the scope memo to see what rosenstein outlined in terms of what he is allowed to investigate what his jurisdiction is with the cohen guilty plea, this seems to ramp up fears about getting the people around the president, squeezing them to get them to cooperate and give
