RUSH EXCERPT: 

FRANKS: "That’s all right. That happens a lot. But I appreciate the opportunity to come here. Unfortunately you leave me with little to add from John Bolton, who I consider to be one of the greatest foreign policy people in the world. I think he should have been secretary of state. Sebastian Gorka, I have to say something nice about him because he could sue me successfully for plagiarism anytime he wants to. But having said that, this situation is pretty straightforward. This president, when he came in, had the famous reset with Russia. I think he thought the entire Cold War was just a giant misunderstanding and he stood by and let Russia, as Sebastian Gorka mentioned, invade Ukraine even though we had an agreement with Ukraine to protect their territorial sovereignty. He stood by, in spite of his red line in Syria, and let the Russians barrel bomb aleppo, killing thousands of innocent women and children. And then all of the sudden he finds his tongue and does something he should have done early in his presidency and made it clear where we stand as a country that we will not stand by and let Russian expansionism take over the world. But in the meantime, Vladimir Putin has mocked up the world with Barack Obama. It turns out he’s not quite finished, it seems. ‘Re saying the mainstream media should have done their job, properly covered the election, properly covered the toris about Hillary Clinton, her e-mails, her deleting e-mails, about her server. All of the above. That is certainly true. And as it relates to president Obama, I think we find ourselves in this position beca of his failed policy. There is no respect there between Vladimir Putin and Barack Obama. And now we find three weeks before we have a new president in office this attempt to certainly try to box President-Elect Trump in. But it seems that Vladimir Putin did not fall for the bait that President Obama wished he did."
