we put a 107 page treaty, all the nonnuclear weapons in europe, it was fine until pruden a few years> tucker: anyone else is hard to know. it is hard to know somebody's motive. we know for's fact that putin advocated for trump's victory. how could you know what putin wants? should i be right to be skeptical of claims like that? >> sure. i think it is perfectly reasonable to be skeptical of claims of that sort. i don't think most of that is coming from the intelligence community. i think it is banter around washington. i don't think the hostility between trump and the committee is nearly what people are saying. i think it is remediable, i think it is going to be relatively easy for them to work together as soon as there is a new government. >> tucker: i hope that is true for everyone's sake. thanks a lot, ambassador. great to see you. well, donald trump spent today at war with the press. in a break with senate president, cory booker of new jersey testified against his colleague, jeff sessions of alabama. who is of course the nominated for attorney general. it was somehow evocative of

obama threw a pebble at pruden. i want to throw a rock. >> tucker: why don't you throw a rock at china? >> count me in. they are seizing islands on the others instead of resolving disputes, they are actually building military bases. trumpets write about this. he wants to push back. tools in the toolbox, i don't want to go to war with anybody. i'm not going to continue with the weakness we had for the last eight years. the best way to get america back in good standing is to have a president who will tell our enemies you cross us at your own peril and tell our friends it's okay to be a friend of america. the baltic states who live in the shadow of russia, they are scared to death of russia. obama said on the sidelines and didn't do a damn thing about it. those states need to end. >> tucker: a lot of americans are saying that that's all true, the one getting bullied. if you have a 19-year-old son like i do, why should i be pleased at the prospect of him losing his life to defend ukraine or crimea? >> if you join the mi

"why mayor pruden ordered an influence on the 2016 campaign.one a great secretary and harm electability and potential presidency and we have a high confidence in these judgments." it certainly sounds gets political to me. in my wrong? >> we feel that way as well. we certainly don't want intelligence to interfere with politics and we do want politics to and interfere with intelligence. when the president said earlier today to "the new york times" as it feels like a political witch hunt. the presence of the united states basically didn't say much about it. hillary clinton did mention it at a debate, but you did see the $1.2 billion the campaign spent going towards ads warning everybody that this was going to affect the outcome of the election. why? they felt that that she was going to end. it was only after she did not win that they got a appellant froth about this. there is no foreign government interfering in our nation paired that is very clear. at the same time, let's not draw and an axis where one does not exist between attempt and actual re

it doesn't really am there, we go to scott pruden, the attorney general, former attorney general of oklahoma would be the secretary of the environmental protection agency. this is the agency that oversees our climate control. this particular pick of trump has sued the eap of three times and it is his desire to dismantle the agency entirely. afg has 19000 members who work for this agency so not only is he a climate change denier, he wants to eliminate the agency as well as those jobs. then we have been carson. secretary of hud, the only african-american in the cabinet and he opposes welfare. he didn't oppose food stamps when he and his mother, his single mom received food stamps, and he promotes the bootstrap theory. you must pull yourself up by your own bootstraps. originally he declined the appointment of secretary of hard, and according to armstrong williams, his representative, his representative, he did so because he lacked experience in running a major agency, but now he's in charge of running that major agency. then of course we have senator corey's best friend, jeffrey sessions as the

pruden -- distrust in the west for mr. puting, what would you like to see him -- from him?. putin >> the mistrust was created from the western side. vladimir putin delivered a famous speech, he was very sincere, he is like mr. turmp -- ,rump and speaks what he means the person who defends the russian policy, russian rights for investment interest in this world come he will defend this but mr. trump promised to recognize the interest of russia. tom: i understand the finance and your work in economics, that is fine, in this chair yesterday, the president of ukraine was a respectfully different view on this dialogue of russia and the west. donald trump suggests nato is an artifact of history, an ancient part of history. >> that is impossible view because nato and the warsaw pact were created from adverse organizations. the warsaw pact disappeared. we believe that the increase of our arms in europe is a dangerous thing, we do not see the reason. thatwhat is the calculus divides the financial desires of your nation and vladimir putin with the political realities of russia right
