well, joining us tonight is ric grenell.director of national intelligence, former u.s. ambassador to germany and, in my opinion, one of the greatest public servants in this country's history. it is, ambassador, great to have you with us. i want to start with the inspector general taking up a sentencing recommendation. of all that we know could be invested by the justice -- investigated by the justice department, to decide on roger stone's sentencing recommendation, dropping it from 9 to 7 years which is still almost double the typical sentence of anyone found guilty of lying to congress, it's an absurd, absurd internal matter that, to me, speaks to the corruption still within the department of justice. your thoughts. >> look, lou, we have a real problem in washington, d.c. with the washington, d.c. types who control the arms of government and their weaponizing -- and they're weaponizing the tools of government against their people that they don't like. the opposition. their enemies. their political opponents. and this is rea

out there and ric grenell is perhaps throwing himself on a grenade on his own volition to say, of coursel found trump incredibly charming. any reports to the contrary is absolute fake news and the fact that any foreign dignitary or official couldn't find this president to be one of the most charming people they've ever met is absolutely bunk and nonsense. patently on its face false and ridiculous, but the president needs minions to go out there and keep pressing this point. the same thing goes for his mental health. again, if he'd just stop talking about it for a while, people would write fewer articles about it, but he can't help bringing it on because he's donald j. trump. >> well, and because -- and there's an interesting thing happening here which is that drudge and alex jones and a bunch of people started attacking hillary around this time last year baselessly saying that she was sick, she was infirm, she was covering up some kind of illness, and now you have drudge doing the same thing to trump, you know, here's a video of him slurring his words. here, he's dragging his leg. he's s
