to obama about hillary starting this russian hoax other than john brennan put it in there because he thought they were going to get caught and he wasn't going to take the fall. i think it's really good to have these types of people that want to start diving in and looking into what's really in the story. i think that's what this person needs to start looking for instead of holding hands with the manipulating media. host: ok. let's get a response. any response? guest: there's more to know on all of these questions and more that will be found out on these questions. it is unquestionable however that russia has been involved in trying to influence public opinion in democracies around the world. trying to influence the direction of social media, game the algorithm in ways that directs people toward highly contentious messages. it was true in the catalonian referendum to leave spain. it was true in the brexit battle. it's been true in controversies in the united states. that's not a hoax. that's the way russia projects power using modern media in the 21st century. host: let's go to maryla

. >> trace: john brennan has been a wrong on a lot of stuff but do you think is right on this?ink there is certainly an element of truth to that. i don't think i would be as optimistic as he is in regards to that but the report from london, there are members of mr. putin's own cabinet largely left in the dark about the invasion and currently terrified to resign in protest because they fear they will be executed for treason. it is quite extraordinary for major power to be acting like that way. and something that seems it should be out of a movie or at least relegated to history. i think mr. putin's days, he has bet the farm on this. i think it really will come down to, he doesn't rule the consensus of the government in russia. he largely rules of the oligarchs and events of the military. i think that is what is going to be the thing that will be the catalyst to whether or not mr. putin stays. >> trace: it is a good assessment. thank you so much matthew shoemaker for coming on, we appreciate it. >> trace thank you for having me on. >> trace: keeping a close eye as you imagine on

. >> you know, john brennan, similar question to you about what the strategic importance of this speech is given the following. i'll read more, russia is signaling perhaps maybe they're crying a little bit, signalled on friday it may be reducing war aims focussing more territory in eastern ukraine and the first stage of the operation with ukraine putting up fierce resistance and russia having failed to seize for a senior statement with acknowledgement of all significance of the speech with the strategic interest of him. >> joy, we are at a very critical inflection point not only in terms of the u.s. policies but also in terms of nato's cohesion as well as global peace and security and therefore, i think it's so critically important that president biden who has this wealth of experience in the foreign policy front is able to demonstrate america's commitment tangibly not only by his presence along those front line states but also by the announcements about the extent of u.s. aid, humanitarian aid and flow of weapons. we're in this. this is very much a hot war. maybe the russians are sendi

. >> trace: i want to play the sound bite by former john brennan, and you are on the same page. i will get your response on the other side, watch. >> this is b.a.'s war and not rush was a war. and more russians will just be appalled. this is where i think mr. putin has vulnerability which is why also, i think what worries me is that i think putin does not see any option except to double down. this is only going to be, too i think, putin's unraveling. >> trace: no option but to double down but in this case we have seen horrific things, mike. what does doubling down mean? >> well it means he doesn't see a way out. he doesn't see an off-ramp from the hole that he has dug here. the early money was on the idea that putin was just looking to consolidate the eastern portion the don bass region where he said to come with these are two independent states. the idea was that is where he was interested in drawing a line on the eastern portion peer that isn't the case anymore. it is clear that his calculus has changed. his risk appetite has extended even beyond where he was before. and it wa

we're back with john brennan and john heilemann. that inside the white house, there's so much that happens behind the scenes and that this hard work of diplomacy is sometimes preventing something bad from happening. tell me if that's the right way to look at our relations with china. >> well, i think that there's an effort under way to both publicly signal to china that its position on russia's invasion in ukraine is unacceptable but also to send private messages, as we saw jake sullivan met with his counterpart recently in europe, and now there's going to be this discussion between presidents biden and xi, and so therefore, i think it's made very clear that the united states is trying to demonstrate leadership of nato and of the western world. in terms of being at the forefront of confronting china as well as other countries that are supportive of what russia is doing. and so therefore, i think it's going to be very, very important for president biden to send a very clear message to president xi that there are steps that we can tak

high level bosses john brennan being the former cia director under obama and biden who knew full wellbiden was getting up to when he was a parting with the foreign oligarchs the russian oligarchs in the oligarch playground and monte carlo and moscow. they knew what was going on. they knew is not russian disinformation they know is true and yet they put their names to the letter in which they said the e-mails we were publishing our reporting the laptop was russian disinformation. and that was a knauf for those media outlets to run that into run not the white house them but the joe biden campaign library. >> miranda it you're going to be back with us later in the show, later in the hour you going to stick with us. were going to say on the story coming up later in the show. i think it we will see you soon. white house officials going after mom-and-pop gas stations read the white house refuses to really ramp up domestic drilling to a lower cost. all of this are thieves are stealing gas from gas stations. that is next on "the evening edit". >> there is something deeply disturbingly differe

john brennan is a former director of cia under barack obama, and former assistant of homeland security and he joins me now. >> in terms of the kind of back and forth calculations that are being made here. how have you, how are you understanding the development of say the last 48 to 72 hours? >> well, chris, as you pointed out the magnitude and the substantial reaction to a heroic and very effective military resistance of the ukrainian people. and the protests at this location in russia are really not that surprising in the aftermath of this blatant unwanted invasion that russia has taken over ukraine. which makes it all the more surprising in my mind as well as the mind of many as to why vladimir putin decide to go down this road. because i think it was inevitable that the reaction was going to be as intense as it has been. and so, apparently the crime in the kremlin ivory tower -- putin was starting to believe his advisers. his own delusions. about how russia's, the virtual impunity. and therefore i think he's had a very quick dose of reality. in terms of the limits of the russian mil

also former cia director john brennan is back.ector, i want to ask you to help me understand this question. i understand and everyone has made clear the russian military advantage but to the question whether this is going to plan, 90% of russia's military is inside ukraine. many didn't know they would be in combat. but this convoy while large and mighty is not really running like a well-oiled anything. that there are abandoned vehicles and that again not to take away from the military supremacy of what russia has inside ukraine but in terms of putin's competence as the architect of the invasion where are your thoughts? >> russia's military, particularly ground forces, do not have the battlefield experience to take part of an offensive against another country. walking into crimea with a lot of russian sympathy. in chechnya, that took place over 20 years ago. in syria they served as advisers. so what they're best at is standoff artillery barrages and in some respects unsurprising to bog down on the ground with logistical problems be

intelligence officers that signed off on letter that said this was russian disinformation, including john brennanclapper who is with cnn. if you read that letter, as i did this morning, they admit they had no evidence that the russians were involved, but had a bad feeling and decided to throw it out there anyway. what a joke, guys. >> tomi: we have a full screen of the gentlemen you referenced to round out media, executive branch and these guys. i find it interesting, lauren, joe concha's point when the media says npr, the "gold star" they said it was distraction, but distraction from what? pushing the narrative? >> wanted to get biden into office, he is, why did the story come out 17 months later in disqualify him for potential 2024 run so they can get another democratic person in look at the state of the country? they pose that as open question. >> that is right. >> harris: i have a different question, how thick are the thieves, i remember another media out sxlt throw them in as media outlet and not some outlier of social platform, twitter. they want to put their thumb on the scale about what i

we heard about 50 former intelligence officers including john brennan, formerly cia with msnbc and jamesg this is russian disinformation, nothing to see here. we heard boblin, saying the biden family is compromised by the chinese communist government. the what i hear hunter is a bad seed, but he is not in government and his zero to do with his father. if hunter biden receive third degree from chinese and russian officials while joe biden was vice president, it does mean something from a national security perspective and now we're seeing more reporting from the "new york times" and "washington post." perhaps the broadcast news network, including cnn, will explore the story seriously. if things go from bad to worse, joe bidenville to answer questions around this, not say it is russian disinformation or he never spoke to his son about business dealings, that is not the case. >> speaking of cnn, listen to john harwood and what he said yesterday. >> there is zero evidence that vice president biden or president biden has done anything wrong in connection with what hunter biden has done? >> ash

they blocked it big tech sense of the story and you had people like john brennan and other you know, former security and intelligence operatives who then gave the fig leaf to joe biden that this was the laptop was russian disinformation. so the american people were kept in the dark before the election and the proper due diligence they were not able to do on one of the candidates for president. yeah, you know, no i'm going to open this up for questions. i know we've got a great audience that's gonna have a lot of questions and as we kind of get the first person queued up, i just want to kind of ask you to talk a little bit more about that because i do think that that as much as much scandal as there is on the laptop and in the book about what the the bidens i feel like the scandal with the media is almost more alarming because it's not just the misdead of one family and some corrupt kind of upper crust. this is supposed to be this is kind of goes to the heart of journalism is and isn't and it's amazing to think of the consequences and you talk about that a little about in your books c

2020 election at the hunter biden laptop story was based on russian disinformation starting with john brennan director who is now on msnbc talk about ethics. we now know, as you said, it was a lie and any corrections, any follow-ups in terms of journalism at this point doesn't mean a heck of a lot because the important thing now is that this happened before the 2020 election one votes could have been influenced and they got joe biden into office. when you hear about it now, it doesn't really mean a heck of a lot and i'm sure a lot of viewers out there are saying you know what, great, but what does that do for is now? >> sean: jim, there's one other point to this, and that is okay, russian oligarchs paying hunter biden, watch, the former first lady of moscow, oh, those millions of dollars. the millions from burisma, the $1.5 billion deal with the bank of china, the 35 million that peter schweizer talks about in his number one best-selling book that just came out. all of that tells me that the biden family is completely compromised by every country we are talking about lately, china, russia, uk
