bobby greenspan with cns news. obama's cia director john brennan says president trump's obama's ciaence -- oklahoma's director john brennan said the press conference in helsinki quote raises -- was nothing short of treason is. the you agree that his actions were treasonous? not.ryan: i do it disputesport, the finding of the intelligence community's assessment of that vladimir putin wanted trump to win. yesterday, putin said he wanted trump to win. did the republicans make a mistake in the report? >> i would refer you to the intelligence. community they were concerned by the tradecraft that was the intelligence committee. let us be clear, russia did meddle with our elections. not only in our elections, they are doing it around the world. they did it to france, they did it to moldova, they are doing it in the baltics. they are trying to undermine and delegitimize a marker see itself. let us be really clear about that -- but delegitimize democracy itself. we have passed sanctions on accountable.d them more importantly, what w

know we could go to reagan and the car from settled steve what do we do well to talk about fake news obama separated children from their parents go look at the pictures they're all over online and that little girl on time magazine guess what turns out she wasn't separated from the parents this is below and the only fix is comprehensive immigration reform with the four pillars that donald trump said he wanted on the state of the union which the public overwhelmingly agreed with and anything short of that you're going to have a met a mess for the for the foreseeable future how do you get it through congress though steve they just don't want to do anything together. well i mean even the democrats look you talk about this executive order trump did they didn't like that the kids were separated now they don't want the kids sitting in that camp or enough in a holding cell with the parents they want the parents to go have a get out of jail free card the democrats want open borders no penalties for breaking into our country and that's not going to fly with the public jonathan the democrats want ope

obama's view was essentially that the people consuming that type of news were not inclined to listen u're are reading stories about hillary clinton and how corrupt she is and she's not healthy, barack obama is not the person to tell you that that's fake news and that's not. you were urging him to speak out about it? yeah, and i said in my book, we are warning people about the cyber piece of this but we are not painting a picture of the fake news, which i had seen in the ukraine, how they had developed this capability to generate fake news in the ukraine war context. obama said to me, "look, if i say that — we can't say this is fake. trump will say it is rigged." that was his view. but you go further in your book because you talk about what happened onjanuary 5th, the leadership of the intelligence community filed into the office — this is a couple of weeks ahead of president trump's inauguration — for a briefing on russian meddling. in that, you say they painted a stark picture of a methodical, relentless campaign waged by putin on behalf of trump. did they suggest to you that donald

the big democratic, the new obama, alexandria and she is a socialist what you make of her?'s never. >> it's like she's never read a newspaper or book in her life. this young lady is i can't imagine where she gets information and i'm beginning to think that she's a republican plant where they have placed her there to make the democrats look incredibly stupid. greg: tyrus, will it democratic party pay attention to the polls and fix themselves? tyrus: there are too many rules. i don't like rules. when i get by mike is a president and the instructions are this thick, we are winning it. the new democratic world order there are 37 gender so how will i say hello to someone without being afraid of a lawsuit? there's all kinds of give me stuff and i don't want to give anybody jack. i'll keep mine and you get yours and will be fine. there are too many rules and they don't even know -- when they talk -- if you ever have a conversation with a super left person they talk in a person so i don't even know who i'm dealing with.

>> bobby greenspan was c-span news. obama's cia director john brennan said that president exceedspress conference the threshold and was nothing short of treasonous. do you agree that his actions were treasonous? >> i do not. >> you talk about this investigation that happened in the house. in that report, it disputes the findings of the intelligence committee that vladimir putin wanted trump to win. yesterday, he said he wanted trump to win. did the republicans make a mistake in that report? >> i will refer you to the intelligence committee. they were concerned about the tradecraft. we believe there were mistakes made. russia didear, metal, not only did russia meddle in our elections. they are doing it around the world. they're doing it to the baltics. russia is trying to undermine democracy, delegitimize democracy. they can look good by comparison. making is weare know they interfere with our elections and we have passed sanctions on russia to hold them accountable. what we intend to do is to make sure they do not get away with

agreements in the background might use a different look this idea of a reset with russia is nothing new president obama wanted it very much and was faced with similar opposition from the national security establishment for whom corporation russia is always a big no no but geopolitically geo strategically there are clearly areas of interest which both the u.s. and russia have in common particularly in the middle east for example there is always resistance there's always resistance whenever a president says he wants closer cooperation with russia no matter what in part perhaps some say because the national security establishment they make it that res on death row for existence in some ways is opposition to russia so it's nato has reason for being to the idea of closer cooperation is anathema to them even if it means if it makes common sense what complicates this of course is the allegations of russian meddling the allegations of collusion none of which have been have come out from the motor investigation yet with the campaign that complicates things and ultimately doesn't really want to entertain those t

this was barack obama with president xi jinping when the news broke. did obama confront xi on that hack? no, he did not. did the media it make a big deal of that? no, they did not create it on msnbc claim that obama was in a xi back pocket for not calling him out? no, they did not. but back to russia. trump said yesterday both sides deserve blame for the state of the relationship. my net said that standing next to putin, but quoting a former cia officer and policy expert, he said the relationship went wrong when the nation did not treat russia as a nation who had shaken off a soviet communism. it should've been welcomed, but instead, it was regarded as a successor state to the ussr, inheriting its status as the principal focus of western distrust. you can debate whether that was the right thing to do, but we opted to expand nato, and failed in our attempts to turn russia into an ally, i'll be at a cagey one. that got russia's backup, and it boosted putin's popularity in his homeland. the truth is that lots of people have said what trump said yesterday,

news, i'm just curious about it. he probably could have even called the former president, barack obama, and said, hey, is this true? ot do that. he relied on a x ffox news repo going out there, tweeting an attack on the former president and about a iranian hardliner. it is baffling, but also kind of sad. >> he could pick up the phone or walk down the hall. we also know, too, this is a president whose intelligence community gives him information all the time that he perhaps in some instances ignores, doesn't feel the need to consult. we had just in terms of north korea, we were learning more from the intelligence community this week which obviously goes against some of the tweets we had from the president after that initial summit saying north carolina north korea is no longer a threat. it brings up the issue of this battle between what the president says and people who believe him no matter what, then when you fact check it, it's automatically seen as you're trying to bash the president. but it is a really important part of not just what journalists do but in general, it is an important part of information and shari
