7:32 am
relapses. the "washington post" reports on conservative billionaire charles koch meeting with his network of donors over his refusal to endorse donald trump. koch defended his decision, he wants to focus on senate races instead. but some want to concentrate on defeating hillary clinton. the group would feature clinton in senate campaign ads. and flying debris at a demolition derby in northern utah that hurt three people. two women and a little boy were injured saturday when part of a truck broke off and flew into the crowd. there is little or no protective vladimir putin would not invade ukraine. >> he's not going into ukraine. just so you understand. he's not going to go into

russians with the americans forgiving previous russian sins and allowing certain forms of russian behavior in return for russian cooperation on other joint problems. now, look, i like the part about the russian cooperation, but i do think actions have consequences. the occupation of crimea, the continued occupation of portions of the ukraine, the threat to the baltics, the unacceptable behavior, the cyber attacks which we're pretty certain that the russians are carrying out. you can't have this accommodation while that kind of behavior continues. >> three questions about the russian cyber attack. number one, are we convinced they did it? is everybody in the intelligence community convinced they did it? did they do it because they want to manipulate the election? three, how do we retaliate. >> i think they did it. you saw jim clapper cutely say only a limited number who could
7:36 am
do this. i think the consensus is they did do this. in the cyber domain, sometimes you can't get to that court of law beyond no reasonable doubt. i think the rab russians did it. the stealing of the data, that's generally accepted state espionage. stealing that stuff is what big nations, including our own do to other big nations. they did something else, though. they weaponized the information. they used the information to at a minimum play with our heads. i really don't think he's got the wisdom, the cleverness, to use the data to affect the outcome of the campaign. putin. i think he's just playing with our heads. he thinks we do this to him all the time. he thinks we did the orange revolution. he thinks we did the rose revolution. he's trying to give us a taste of our own medicine. with regard to retaliation, you

7:38 am
of those thinktank seminars on steroids. this isn't going to be let me show you the covert actions. they're busy, all right? but even candidates less talkative than mr. trump are frightened about trying to sort out in their minds when they get the unexpected question from folks like yourself, did i learn that in the briefing or did i read that in the paper. and they want to keep those challenges to a minimum until election day. >> you have some intelligence officials who have suggested and been reported that they are concerned about donald trump having these briefings. you have paul ryan suggesting that he's concerned about hillary clinton having these briefings. what's your level of concern about each of them having these briefings? >> saying those things is unprecedented. this should be normal. this is just routine run of the american electoral process. you have candidates that have done and said things that make
7:39 am
serious people question their suitability, but they're going to get it. >> do you think they're going to tell these candidates everything they tell the president of the united states? >> the briefings between now and the election will be very vanilla. that will be classified light. somebody after the first tuesday, first monday is getting the president's daily brief. you take ohio, you take florida, you take pennsylvania, that's all you need to get the secrets. >> coming back to ukraine one more time. there was story that paul manafort had a relationship with a woman. but is there anything here we should look at? >> the circumstantial evidence really does suggest an interest plot line. but charlie, to my mind, that's all you have to date. that would be just one hypothesis. this could very well be the

8:06 am
florida? >> well, they are local mosquitos because there's no evidence at all these individuals did not travel out of the continental united states. there's no evidence that they've had any kind of contact with other people who have zika. and so the obvious conclusion to this, which is almost incontrovertible this is local spread through mosquitos, which was not at all unexpected given the number of travel-related cases that we know are in the united states, many of which are concentrated in florida. >> do you expect to find additional local cases? >> you know, charlie, i think there will be no doubt that we're going to see additional cases. this is something that was expected. it was predicted. the critical issue now is to prevent these locally acquired cases from becoming sustained and from becoming disseminated. so there's a lot of activity going on locally by the local health authorities of very aggressive mosquito abatement control in order to prevent the spread beyond that area in the
8:07 am
dade county area where we're talking about. >> how do you do that? >> you do it by several ways. you can actually eliminate standing water, which mosquitos very vigorously procreate there. they lay their eggs in water, get larvae and get adults. i'm saying pots, pans, small bottle caps. one way is killing the larvae with insecticides spraying either with backpack type spraying or aerial spraying. so they're putting a full court press on that right now. >> dr. fauci, as gayle mentioned the white house asked for big funding $1.9 billion in february. that has not been approved. congress is now in recess. how big a problem is it that that money is not available to fight this disease? >> well, it fundamentally is a big problem to begin with. but what's happening now as we're getting now into august, the beginning of august, we have had -- when i say we, i mean the cdc and nih and others have had to borrow money from other areas of things that we do to get our

effort going. we are very soon going to completely run out of money to do that. and then things are going to start to slow down. so it really is unfortunate that that money is not been appropriated. >> so they come back early from break as is being suggested? >> well, i don't know what the mechanism is going to be, gayle, but something needs to be done. >> all right. dr. anthony fauci, we thank you, sir, for joining us this morning. >> good to be with you. it could take months for a small maryland town to recover from devastating weekend flooding. surging water killed at least two people in ellicott city, west of baltimore. many residents helped each other to survive. dramatic video shows people linking arms to save a woman from her car. the cars were swept away. >> pictures tell the story there. flash flooding destroyed several homes and businesses. cars ended up stacked on top of one another like toy cars. the governor toured the devastation declared a state of emergency for the county. flash flood watches this morning are posted in parts of
