minuten bed doors, niall ferguson and richard haass. ard, what i'm struck by it's all about mueller, what it means for trump. the central point of the report which was in some ways the central point of his testimony was the russians remain very actively trying to influence american elections. >> absolutely. he's not alone in saying that. a few weeks ago i interviewed christopher wray the head of the fbi, and he said what happened in the previous election was simply a warmup for 2020. this is not going away. if you're putin, why would it go away? this has been enormously successful, very low cost. the price he's paid is modest. russia is not a great power anymore. it's got nuclear weapons and conventional force, we've seen that in syria and ukraine. but this is their other big tool is their ability to cyber related tools to influence political outcomes to weaken what they see as their enemies and their adversaries. this is real. the question is, what sort of defensive measures are we going to take. in addition, are we prepared to do thing

president of the council on foreign relations and author of the book "a world in disarray" richard haass and co-host of "morning joe" first look, ayman mohyeldin. >> so richard, let me get out of this way. first of all, congratulations to the yankees for winning the american league east this year. >> 1 1 games. that's all. >> but unfortunately, dombrowski decided when we needed a pitch tore get the dude from eastbound and down who was -- he gets shellacked by his former teammates. so it's not getting any better as long as the red sox continue doing what they're doing. which is as much of a mystery to me as what the iranians are doing right now, too. with the political strategy -- exactly. i always remember dr. pierzynski comparing major league baseball to international incidents. in fact, he never did that, my bad. so richard, what are the iranians doing? and it's important for people that are watching this show that don't follow it closely. the iranians are -- they are radicals but they do not act impetuously, there's a reason for everything they do. what's their game plan here? why do

vice president joe biden re-affirmed that while speaking with the council on foreign relations, richard haassell and is a smart guy, mitch mcconnell wanted no part of having a bipartisan commitment that we would say essentially russia's doing this, stop. bipartisan. they would have no party -- they would have no part of it. that to me hanging around that body up there for a longer than any of you were around doing it meant to me that this -- that the die had been cast here. this is all about the political play. >> and mcconnell continues to block bipartisan efforts to bring election security to the senate floor stalling several bills including two just last week. kasie hunt, you know, joe started this sort of #moscow mitch. he's dead serious. how mitch mcconnell seems to be kowtowing to russia or -- there's a conflict here that's pretty blatant. >> so behind the scenes, mika, the sense is that mitch mcconnell is carrying water for the white house on this. there has been a lot of bipartisan agreement and work done on these election security bills. now, some of the bills that -- that they tried

now president of the council on foreign relations and author of the book "a world in disarray" richard haass standing in the world in light of the president's tweets, in light of the rally we saw last night, in light of everything. i was talking to joe biden about that in iowa the other day and he made a pretty compelling case about something that i don't think voters think about every day because they're worried about kitchen table issues, they're worried about their paychecks and understandably so, but our standing in the world has gone down under trump and we are this many respects becoming a mockery and biden talked about the danger of that. he also made an incredible pitch that i thought separated him from the other democrats. he has a sense of his past experience not just working with obama and says he says i don't want to talk about obama. we are in a new place. i want to talk about my experience. he knows world leaders. he has met them before. he has been on the world stage and has handled foreign policy issues at a very high level and says in many ways we need to get back to where w
