look at the rhetoric he uses, the gans story, the montenegro story. he fought it tooth and nail. i think it was 96 to 3 on that vote. he has at every point in his presidency when it's a choice of supporting authoritarianism or democracy, he's gone against democracy. >> look at helsinki. look at what he said publicly in helsinki. that's just the public part we know about. >> when it comes not just with russia, with other places in the world, when it comes to trusting a foreign authoritarian leader or his own staff and intelligence community, he's gone with the authoritarian. so the damage is done. what what we have to sort through now, is how bad is it from -- for trump personally? >> and also what happens next with this, asha take off your intelligence hat and put on your legal hat here, democrats now control the house, adam schiff and others no doubt the wabl nt get ahold of these notes or ahold of the interpreter. there's insome fuzzy ground about before an interpreter can testify before congress. how hard will it be to hear from these people? >> think the white house would rai

beginning with his desire to undermine nato, et cetera and bizarre talking point, montenegro, one ofsia's enemies now is going to start world war iii because they wanted to join nato. it's another example of him, a little of his world view mixed with vladimir putin maybe whispering in his ear. >> katie, quickly, before we wrap it up. i wanted to ask about the mueller investigation, which just extended the grand jury looking into all this. what's the significance of that extension? >> it means mueller still has work to do. the ex-tense is up to six months. a chief judge determined the standa standard met. is it in the public's interest? constantly releasing indictments, convictions and adam scheft will hand over possibly new perjury charges coming out of the mueller investigation. >> far from over. thank you all of your insights. >>> parts of america closed for business in a fight over a border wall. how is the world looking at the shutdown? that's next. >>> i'm going to talk to democratic congressman raja about what he's telling federal workers in his district about how long this mig

something worse but we saw, for example, when he talked about how dangerous monenegro was right after montenegrooined nato, you know he heard that from putin. different people speak to him and he sort of parrots what they say and frankly when it's people from russia and our adversaries, it's dangerous. >> he can't nail an appearance at hurricane stop. he can't get that right. but he nails the soviet spin on the afghan invasion. >> yeah, he seemed familiar with the russian talking points and we've seen this time and time again, this meeting in argentina, yes, but the year before, the g20 in germany, he had a private meeting, there was no readout afterwards. we know about later that fall, he met in vietnam briefly with putin, and most famously in helsinki where the two met for two hours and to this day -- it's one thing that the media doesn't know, the voters don't know what was discussed. members of the president's own government do not know what was discussed for two hours. not 15 minutes. two hours. and that is something that people in the intelligence community, you know, people who have deep

echoing putin's line about why the soviet union went into afghanistan in 1979, critical remarks about montenegrosing on a poll threatening belarus. nobody in the world says that other than the russians and our president. and so it makes sense to me that there would be a counterintelligence investigation. i've said this before, i think on your show, it's an astonishing thing for us to say that makes sense. but it really does. you have yet today another reason why the fbi was really, really smart or really, really foresighted when they opened that investigation. >> what's so crazy, i don't know whether to laugh or cry, is that it's now out there, and they continue to do things as though moscow is calling the shots. why wouldn't somebody say to him, hey, these sanctions, not just that we promised theresa may we would do them and they passed congress, how strong must that pull me to moscow, to putin, for trump to be so reckless? >> very hard question for me to answer. i don't know why people -- his national security council is not getting lieu to hi getting through to him. perhaps they need to be on

we puts montenegro in there recently.want to put the nation of georgia on the complete other side of the black sea in to which we are prohibited from putting any significant military -- any significant naval power. the expansion wants to go on. what we heard from your last guest is ape desperate search fr a new mission for an alliance that isth completely obsolete ad which frankly succeeded almost two decades ago. >> tucker: i would be happy for a new mission. i would just like to know what it is. i'm not against nato and not making argument for disbanding nato if we could do something useful with it that's great. i just think maybe we should we reorient from 1945. why do you think it is that the new democratic orthodoxy mandates that we keep troops in syria forever and anybodyt who disagrees with that as the daily beast pointed out today somehow aligned withha david duke? where did that idea come from? >> this comes from yellow t fever over russia. the idea that trump is aha sleeper agent for russia. that russia, as your

he affirmed a version of soviet propaganda about montenegro. what did he do in helsinki?ed his own intelligence community and said that he was persuaded or he was impressed by the strength of the putin's denial about interfering in the election. why did he before that not only fire jim comey but consistently discredit american intelligence? and keep in mind, this is somebody who put in charge of his campaign paul manafort, somebody who had worked indirectly for vladimir putin in ukraine. they changed the republican platform to the benefit -- >> mmm-hmm. >> -- of russia. and this is also somebody who for years he and his family members had benefitted by their own account from a huge influx of russian money into their business. >> right. >> now, you can look at all these things and say it's a coincidence. and all of them have innocent explanations. but i think the fact that john brennan, then the cia director, and other national security officials, jim comey at the fbi, were alarmed about this in 2016 is not evidence that they were partisan hacks, it's evidence that they we

someone is giving him these ideas about montenegro and what the soviets invaded afghanistan for, reallyat's being presented in the duma right now is the russian point of view. so it is deeply concerning. republicans in congress do need to speak out. history is going to hold them accountable. and now is the time. >> i want to ask you about a comment from your fellow democratic congresswoman rashida tlaib this week. democrats need to, quote, impeach the mother fer, referring to president trump. forgetting the language for a second, her comments underscore the desire of democrats to impeach donald trump. 80% of democratic voters want the president to be impeached. how much pressure do you feel to take action against president trump, even if you personally aren't there yet in terms of any evidence? >> well, first of all, jake, i am in a unique position to say this concerning the president made my last name a profanity. this president is not in a position to talk about the use of language. nobody has done more to debase the political sphere than donald trump. in terms of the merits of impeac

president trump has parroted russian propaganda about the soviet iasion into afghanistan, about montenegro even calling the u.s. military exercises asia "war game" exercises asia "war games," which is what vladimir putin calls them. >> i've talked to the president about russia on number of occasions, and he's fully aware of the issues there and the kind of people that we're deali with. we're spendi an inordinate amount of time now talking about russia simply, simply because of the factors that they have done lately. the largest concern of ours should be china. if they continue to go down ways that are not in keeping with the rule of law, that is a serious, serious problem that we've got to counter. thgood example of that, the poster child oat, is probably the south china sea. hemean, that's a very aggressive by china to expand geographic influence and control. the way that they have wmisappropriated everythive got, from patents to artistic talent andverything else, uses you to have to rethink the kinds of things that you're eaing. >> schifrin: i wasng a story by the "post register" about i

why is the president speaking about russian interests with respect to montenegro and poland and belarus and sort of a revisionist -- and that's to use the term loosely. a revisionist history of why the soviets invaded afghanistan. it's extraordinary. >> chuck, you just blew my mind as you often do. let me just press a little farther with you. so you're saying the counterintelligence investigation that was opened, we were led to believe, because of the actions of individuals like carter page, who seemed a little hapless, and george papadopoulos who was mouthing off at a bar, could, by this point, extend to an examination of trump's foreign policy utterances and conduct? >> i think they have to. i don't mean to be an alarmist, but i think they have to. here's why. the president of the united states is echoing directly the line of the kremlin. on a whole bunch of things. and so whether or not it results in an indictment, whether or not it's something we ultimately can see, touch, feel and hear, this is something that u.s. intelligence officials have to understand. why is the president sayi
