in world war ii, our enemy was adolf hitler and the japanese militarists and we needed joseph stalinh him. our primary enemy is no longer the soviet union, the cold war is over. i fought the cold war as you might remember. i did a lot of things in the cold war to defeat the soviet union. the soviet union doesn't exist, our priority right now has to be radical islamic terrorists. if there's a nuclear bomb that goes off in one of our cities, that will be the enemy. we need to cooperate with russia, they are being murdered just like the rest of our allies to diffuse the primary enemy. i get a lot of guff about that because there is an unrelenting hostility toward russia -- it's an imperfect government there. they are not as good a democracy as our western european allies. but they should be helping us to defeat radical islam. >> tucker: finally, is this having real-world consequences? mccarthyism by its nature hurts people, makes it harder for them to do the jobs they do. has this affected your life? you're running for reelection, is this an issue in the campaig campaign? >> we have mul

mother, sarah, to meet with franco, his son jimmy to meet, and he had his daughter anisette up with joseph stalinthis has been around a long time and hillary clinton of course set up the deal with university so it could become the silicon valley of russia. she took $2 million into the clinton foundation, but e set it up and of course it came back to bite her because once russians had that ability on silicon valley, they used it on her. ashley: well, doug, we remember when president obama said this to then prime minister of russia, demetry. take a listen to this. >> my last election -- after my election, i'll have more flexibility. ashley: i'll translate that information to vladimir. is president obama guilty of back channeling of leaning across the chair like that? >> absolutely. but before he was president. before he was officially president in the transition, he back channeled to iran because he wanted to cut a deal. this is one of the worst stories for the media. they've overplayed their hand here. it's kind of embarrassing for them, and they're kind of struggling to get out. in fact, jonathan

be obvious just as it was obvious to franklin roosevelt 80 years ago to make common cause with joseph stalinnd the fight against the nazis and it works. but no. it's 1953 all over again with the democratic party and the mccarthy seat impugning the character of anyone who dares to note the obvious. i know this is happened to me, agent of russia that i am. everyone enjoys a good witch hunt from time to time, but this one appears to be hurting our national security. david tafuri is a former obama campaign foreign policy advisor. he once worked for the state department and i know that he is going to agree with me on this. let me start with the obvious question. which is a bigger threat to the u.s, isis or russia?ic >> both are a huge threat. >> tucker: which is bigger? >> i think isis is a more immediate threat absolutely. but russia has a much stronger military. russia can hurt us and hurt u.s. interests all over the world. we have to worry about both. >> tucker: we don't have the graphic. i'm just going here with the facts as they are. we have on the one side, isis islamic terror, al qaeda ove

our main holiday is new year since the time of joseph stalin. we are proud of this tradition. so every year the moscow government buys these stupid decorations and illuminations to make the city more beautiful. and -- >> from their point of view. >> from their point of view. so we published a story about the price of these decorations, it was four times more -- bigger, four times bigger than on the markets. so it's just a clear piece of corruption. what we see at the same time in moscow media or on russian television, your money, moscow is getting better. >> better and better. >> muskovites, people, muskovites, are telling that moscow is so beautiful, we are so proud of our mayor, they're buying this bullshit decorations and illuminations. this is how it works. it's like two parallel realities. and there is a dramatic difference between the reality you get from, you know, the state controlled or state influenced media and independent media. >> i think that your message here and your model is very exciting for journalists. there's a journalist in heir audience here from azerbai

that sounds like joseph stalin. show me the man and i'll find you the crime. i don't want to ever see that come to america. >> neither do i. >> and jeffrey, i don't want to beat this horse, but we all remember late senator ted stevens and what happened in this town was an aberration and should never be forgotten, by anyone. >> i -- i covered that case extensively and it was a terrible performance by the justice department. but -- >> but, but -- >> but to say that robert mueller, who is perhaps the most honored -- >> i'm not impugning robert mueller. i'm not impugning robert mueller -- >> -- prosecutor in the country -- >> let me bring in attorney general mukasey. attorney general, now that kushner -- i mean, can jared kushner talk about any aspect of this with the president or with anyone in the white house for that matter? >> it is, as they say, a free country. he can talk to whomever he likes. the fact is that foreign countries try to influence people of influence. they do it. the russians do it. the israelis do it. the chinese do it. as a matter of fact, i
