if there is to be some sort of deal to try to get real verifiable. behavior changes from the kremlin that benefit germany that benefit the united states and been the entire national security dynamic in the trans atlantic community. and i think that's what we really need to hope for better. let me ask you the last time we spoke the, the greens were looking very good in the polls here for the national election degrees are adamantly against nord stream to that has changed the they are now really looking bad in the polls. the election is just a couple of months away. it's looking like that the political constellation here is not going to change very much. that's bad news for people who want to see nord string to kilt. yeah, i agree with that. i think that the problem that we see from the cd you in particular, is what merkel sat again today and in repeated saying that quote, it's additional infrastructure rather than what it really is, which is the replacement for the ukranian gap claim that route which is just a variation on, on this governments, in berlin's long standing description of

the kremlin is cross from cyber attack to the poisoning and imprisonment of electing volney to extra duty shall killings in berlin to election interference, aggressive military posturing, etc, etc. the chancellor would not even consider withdrawing or political support for and for ordering to you as a tool to at least try to get put into rethink his malign action against the trans atlantic community. and i think for that, and i'll just, and my opening bye thing that i think that for all the excellent european leadership that channel merkle has demonstrated on this broad array of issues that will define her legacy. certainly for supportive nurturing to will, sadly, forever be in africa in her historic tenure. that would be the case. what do you make of what was in now today this, this new alliance to fight climate change? that is going to include ukraine, maybe even, you know, helping upgrade the infrastructure, maybe helping them to be able to be a transit country for sustainable energy types. and it reminds me to of what was agreed earlier in the week when president lincoln was here

what should the us do next to bring that message home to the kremlin? that it's not in your interest to do this anymore. i think we have to make sure because we live in a glass house and a lot of western society does. we've got to actually ensure that there's transparency about these ransomware events. many are not reported. we should make sure that that stops, we need to make sure we're defending better at home. we need to pursue law enforcement actions against these groups. and let's make sure that the affiliate networks and the members of regal and other groups are not able to travel outside of the contiguous region, ultimately controlled by vladimir putin. and then if we do all those things, we're going to be in a much better position to have a global scope and understanding of these problems and put more formal pressure and economic pressure back on the russian state to enforce these kinds of rules and standards at home. okay, jason graham, 3 founder of complex tricks. we appreciate your insights tonight. we will stay in touch with you. this story

will retaliate against russia if it is determined the kremlin was behind the attacks.e washington examiner, hugo gurdon. thank you for being here today. >> thank you for having me. alicia: the president vows to retaliate against russia if they find out the kremlin is involved in this. what options does the biden administration have, what sort of retaliation, what would that look like? >> this is -- his response is weak and frankly deceptive. you have to remember that russia is a gangster state and it's led by a gangster president. nothing happens in russia or is done by russia of this sort without president putin having some endorsement of that, at least tacitly giving endorsement. what you have is president biden trying to make a distinction between the private sector criminal and the kremlin. it offers him a loophole not to retaliate. now, how one retaliates against the soviet -- you know, against the russians, against the kremlin, there's all manner of different ways in which biden could do that. there are sanctions he could use and the other thing is the united sta

the kremlin says it hasn't received any requests.eaningful cooperation when they can't even agree on that? >> well, certainly, the kremlin saying that is not a good sign. but my point is that, again, biden said -- in geneva, he said if there are more attacks we're going to strike back and that has not happened. there's just been a series of nasty attacks. and what biden means this time, let's hope this time. >> we've heard a lot about successful cyber attacks against the u.s. we don't hear much about the successful countermeasures the u.s. has made targeting individual groups, even russian infrastructure. so take us through what has worked. >> well, you had an instance, you had a couple instances in the past several years where the united states took serious offensive actions, but for defensive purposes. against russia. it happened around the time of our 2018 election where we went after russian hackers in a large way and we thwarted main their deterrence in our elections. and before the 2020 election, we also put in place certain ma

we're hearing very, very little here from the kremlin, from really anyone in russia.said he knew nothing about this group, nothing about them being taken off line. right after he said that, he then said that russia, of course, does see cyber crime as unacceptable and then kind of launched into the traditional talking point we've seen the past few weeks, the past few months, that russia is very interested in cyber security cooperation with the united states. so make of that what you will. we don't know too much. >> matt, in the areas of cooperation, presidential envoy for climate, john kerry, is in moscow this week. he is meeting with his russian counterparts and the kremlin reports they spoke with president vladimir putin about his portfolio of climate change. what more can you tell us about that? are we seeing any areas of cooperation break through here? >> reporter: strangely, another very vague interaction, if you will. we've only seen a readout from the kremlin that very dryly states john kerry was here. he had a phone conversation with president putin about clima

and you know, we have to ensure that the kremlin doesn't see it to be in its interest anymore for the cyber attacks to take place. what should the us do next to bring that message home to the kremlin, that it's not in your interest to do this anymore? i think we have to make sure because we live in a glass house and a lot of western society does. we've got to actually ensure that there's transparency about these ransomware events. many are not reported. we should make sure that that stops. we need to make sure we're defending better at home. we need to pursue law enforcement actions against these groups. and let's make sure that the affiliate networks and the members of regal and other groups are not able to travel outside of the contiguous region, ultimately controlled by vladimir putin. and then if we do all those things, we're going to be in a much better position to have a global scope and understanding of these problems and put more formal pressure and economic pressure back on the russian state to enforce these kinds of rules and standards at home. okay, jason graham, 3 founder

years, five years and claiming that everyone from donald trump to tulsi gabbard is an agent of the kremlin and, yet, the russians still hack into american corporations every friday afternoon just for a laugh. according to hillary clinton, so it must be true, her triumphant 2016 election victory was stolen by macedonian content farmers. but if the world's most lavishly funded intelligence community seems largely impotent in the face of macedonians, it does regard surveillance of foreigners as a useful means to back pedal your way into illegal surveillance of american citizens up to and including the ruling party's political opposition. we saw that in the sabotage of the incoming administration by obama officials with their unmasking continuing up to the stroke of noon in january 2017. we have seen it in the corruption of the five is intelligence sharing agreement lion cubs on stuff that matters two of the five is, immediately to, canada have been neutered by china and the two remaining anglo australian and get outsourced the dirty work on george papadopoulos and other interference in americ

. >> bill: how do you prove the kremlin did it? or do you need to, dan?ic sanctuary in russian territory. we want to disrupt these groups using cyber command. what is out there is yet unproven, whether the kremlin might have knowledge, specific knowledge of these attacks. which, again, would be in vladimir putin's interest. or whether the kremlin enabled the attack in some way by providing intelligence to this group that made their attack more effective, or whether the kremlin even ordered the attack themselves. those are unknowns that we need to get done at collect intelligence on. make no mistake, this gives light to be put in a lot of leverage. he wants to negotiate from a position of strength. he doesn't like the sanctions. he might say, "i would consider taking action against some of these groups," and putin will tell us it would be hard although he does a great job with his own defendants. he left for sanctions relief and other things from a country that we might be interested in giving it. stealing one of the big messages apparently in geneva was f

did the kremlin pressure them to shut down operations?f why revil simply disappeared. it is possible that revil themselves shut down their own operations, that things got too hot for them after those twin attacks against jbs foods as well as the recent attack. there is a good chance this group is simply disbanding for now, but will come back later in a different form and possibly under a different name. >> it's a fascinating mystery. maybe we'll get some answers as we know. >>> up next for us, help wanted. the white house still need to fill some very critical senior positions. what's the holdup? le. start youy with secret. secret stops odor- causing sweat 3x more. and the provitamin b5 formula is gentle on skin. with secret, outlast anything. no sweat. secret. all strength. no sweat. age-related macular degeneration may lead to severe vision loss. so the national eye institute did 20 years of clinical studies on a formula only found in preservision. if it were my vision, i'd ask my doctor about preservision. it's the most studied eye vita

whether the kremlin was actively involved or whether it was just tacet approval or allowing these typesn russia's borders is incredibly important. we need to make sure the rule of law exists. and the government should respond perhaps with cyber means, counter attacks and disruptions and things like that. but also with -- with sanctions and freezing of assets. with making it very clear to russia and other governments around the world the disruption of critical infrastructure and u.s. businesses will not be tolerated. and so needs to happen. the second here and what you seen come out of the white house and national security council only a few weeks ago was a strong statement from the government that says we cannot protect critical business interests. and that it is imperative for business leaders in the u.s. and around the world to protect themselves. that means strongly authenticate their users. i means actively manage and patch and make sure the systems are well protected. it means implementing backups and recovery processes and procedures and having those available. so the private sect

rest assured if the same thing happened at the kremlin, there would be mass slaughter by the russianan who poisons his opponents. with regard to trump we're talking about the same guy who tweeted when the looting starts, the shooting starts. in a recent book by michael bender he tells repeated accounts of trump in the white house telling general milley and others, bill barr, we need to shoot the protesters, just shoot them. so that's the guy who now is claiming it's somehow wrong for law enforcement to do their job. three things happen when you turn ashli babbitt into a martyr. first, you are legitimizing, as charlie said, the insurrection. you're making it not so bad. they were in the wrong place at the wrong time doing the right thing. ashli happened to be in the wrong place. secondly, you minimize the violence and the gravity of the threat that that day posed to our absolute democracy. thirdly, you're putting a target -- here is what's also really disturbing and law enforcement needs to pay attention to this. anybody who thinks that trump or the gop backs the blue, check this out.

as you say the kremlin says it doesn't know what happened to revil. they say they don't know what happened? >> it's possible that they haven't yet acted. they just started talks. in fact there were talks this week between the russian delegation and the white house about what to do about these ransomware attacks merchandise so it's possible they're not yet taken action because they want to see what concessions they can get out of americans. in that case it's not a good sign because likely revil will be back. >> the secretary was asked about who took revil off-line and listen to his response. >> we can't comment on that right now but i will say the president has spoken about the fact nation states have a responsibility to identify and hold accountable cyber criminals within their boundaries, and that is what we we are moving forward on. >> in their boundaries well that's interesting. should i read from that russia itself may have a played a role in this? >> so forgive me. i can't comment on that now. but we are vigilant in our nation's cyber security, a

. >> president biden warning there will be consequences, as you just heard him there, if the kremlino rein in cyber criminals. ransomware first came up during the biden/putin summit in geneva, biden warning putin that the u.s. also has cyber abilities. chris painter is a cybersecurity expert. how much time should biden give for action until he imposes penalties against russia? >> i don't think this is something where you just flip a switch and it all starts. if these are criminal groups, which it appears to be, there is still responsibility that putin has for groups acting within his territory. the reason for that is because he hasn't done anything in the past to rein them in. it's appropriate for the president to say this is a no-kidding priority for us and if you don't take action, we're going to take action, and that action could come in days, in weeks, in months. i would expect it to be more in the week time frame. if there's no action, if there's no good faith effort by the russian regime to rein this in. but we'll see. >> so you think he's handling this appropriately by saying
