russia. nobody knows. it could be china. it could be somebody sitting in his bed. it shows how weak we are. it shows how disrespected we are. sooiming it's russia or china. it's a total sign of disrespect. putin and the leaders throughout the world have no respect for our country anymore and they certainly have no respect for our leader. it's one of the more farfetched i've heard. yes. [ inaudible ] i never met putin. he said one nice thing about me. he said i'm a genius. i said thank you very much to the news and that was the end of it. i never met putin. >> -- treat putin as an adversary or ally -- >> i would treat vladimir putin firmly but there's nothing i can thing of that i'd rather do than have russia friendly as opposed to the way we are now so we can go and knock out isis together with other people and with other countries. wouldn't it be nice if we actually got along with people? wouldn't it be nice if we actually got along, as an example, with russia? i'm all for it. and let's go get isis. because we have to get isis and we have to get them fast. you saw what happened with the priest. it's only going to get worse. hillary clinton wants

let me tell you, it's not even about russia or china or whoever it is that's doing the hacking. it was about the things that were said in those e-mails. they were terrible things, talking about jewish, talking about race, talking about atheist, trying to pin labels on people -- what was said was a disgrace, and it was debbie wasserman schultz, and believe me, as sure as you're sitting there, hillary clinton knew about it. she knew everything. debbie wasserman schultz could not breathe without speaking and getting approval from hillary

it's not about russia or china or whoever it is eschewing the hacking it was about the things that were said in those e-mails. they were terrible things. talking about jewish, and race and trying to pin labels on people. what was said was a disgrace. what do you think of his response and the questions that got him there. >> i had been on an airplane all day i'm not going to dodge this. i will tell you i think what got us to this point and what he's doing is speaking truth to power. he saying look, the whole issue is not whether it was russia or china or north korea or anyone else the fact is that we have a private server run by the secretary of state which 33,000 e-mails have disappeared. we already know classified material was out there. and then the dnc and dump from wikileaks was hacked. we have some very bad security on the democratic side and the notion is is if this is how porous our protection is there an information that's coming out you ought to be careful about what you put in your e-mails. this is what i think is what the essence of this is. the fact as it is taking place in

and that's why -- if it is russia, nobody even knows this, it's probably china, or it could be somebody sitting in his bed. but it shows how weak we are, it shows how disrespected we are. total -- assuming it's russia or china or one of the major countries and competitors, it's a total sign of disrespect for our country. putin and the leaders throughout the world have no respect for our country anymore and they certainly have no respect for our leader. so, i know nothing about it. it's one of the most farfetched i've ever heard. yes, jon? the strategies is to try to tie you to vladimir putin. mr. trump: i never met putin, i don't know who putin is. he said one nice thing about me. he said i'm a genius. i said thank you very much to the newspaper and that was the end of it. i never met putin. jon: would you treat vladimir putin as an adversary or an ally? mr. trump: i would treat vladimir putin firmly but there's nothing that i can think of that i'd rather do than have russia friendly as opposed to the way they are right now so that we can go and knock out isis together with other people

if russia or china or any of the country has those emails, to be honest i'd love to see it . [inaudible] let me tell you ... [inaudible] mike pence will play a big role for i want to tell you about john casey. i never spoke to him about being vice president. we don't have good chemistry together. i have never spoken to him about being vice president. i would never pick him to be a vice president. there was never a conversation and he has a habit of doing things like this where he says things that maybe a little bit shaky. he never spoke, and that was so long ago i didn't even know i was going to get the nomination. just so you understand, i would not have picked john kasich. he wouldn't have been the right guy. for that to have gotten out, that was so ridiculous and then i was going to put him in charge of national and worldwide policy so what's left for the president? i think you know me better than that. that was put out by him. he's a nice man, john kasich, he's fine. i would never have chosen him. i did various people and i actually got its accepted from many people, ther

if it is russia, nobody even knows it. probably china or could be somebody sitting in his bed but it shows how weak we are. it shows how disrespected we are, assuming it is russia or china or one of the major countries and competitors, it is a, a total sign of disrespect for our country. putin and the leaders throughout the world have no respect for our country anymore, and they certainly have no respect for our leader. so i know nothing about it. one of the most farfetched i ever heard. john? >> [inaudible] is to try to try you as best they can to vladmir putin. >> i never met putin. i don't know who putin is. he said one nice thing about me. he said i'm a genius. i said thank you very much to the newspaper. i never met putin. >> my question is, when you become president would you treat vladmir putin as an adversary or an ally? >> i would treat vladmir putin firmly but there is nothing i can think of than i would rather do then have russia friendly as opposed way we are, so we can go knock out isis together with other people and with other

russia. nobody knows. it's probably china. or it could be somebody sitting in its bed. ill be interesting to see -- i will tell you this, russia if you're listening, i hope you're able to find the 30,000 e-mails that are missing. i think you will probably be rewarded mightily by our press. let's see if that happens. that will be next. >> do you have any qualms about asking a foreign government, russia, china, anybody to interfere, to hack into a system of anybody's in this country? >> that's up to the president. let the president talk to them. >> does that not give you pause? >> no, gives me no pause. you know what gives me more pause that a person in our government, crooked hillary clinton -- >> i know you want to save her. that a person in our government, katie, would delete or get rid of 33,000 e-mails. that gives me a big problem. if russia or china or any other country has those e-mails, to be honest with you, i would love to see them. >> trump also defended his praise for russian president vladimir putin and would not call for him to stay out of the white house rac

if russia or china or any other country has knows e-mails, to be honest with you, i'd love to see them. >> question about mike pence. "the new york times" reported in don junior's conversations in the campaign, don june yar said he could be the most -- >> most ridiculous conversation. let me say you a lot of boredom. >> your role as president and mike pence's role as vice president -- >> mike pence will play a big role. i want to tell tell you about john kasich. i never spoke to him about being vice president. we don't have good chemistry. i have never spoken to him about being vice president. i would never pick him to be vice president. there was never a conversation and he has a habit of doing things like this, where he says things that might be a little shaky. don junior would never -- that was so long ago, i didn't even know i was going to get the no, ma'am names at that point. just so you understand, i would not have picked john kasich. wouldn't be the right guy. i mean for that to have gotten out there was so ridiculous. then i was going to put him in charge of national and world

russia. nobody knows. it's probably china, or it could be somebody sitting in his bed. . it shows how disrespected we are. assuming it's russia or china or one of the major countries and competitors, it's a total sign of disrespect for our country. putin and the leaders throughout the world have no respect for our country anymore and certainly vo no respect for our leader. i know nothing about it. one of the most far-fetched i've ever heard. >> one of the strategies the democratic party is pursuing is to try to tie as best they can you to vladimir putin. >> i never met putin. i don't know who putin is. he said one nice thing about me, he said i'm a genius. i said thank you very much to the newspaper. i never met putin. >> my question is, should you become president, would you treat vladimir putin as an adversary or an ally? >> i would treat vladimir putin firmly, but there's nothing i can think of than i'd rather do than have russia friendly as opposed to the way they are right now so that we can go and knock out isis together with other people and with other countries.

the problem we have with foreign leaders, whether it's china, russia, or anybody. they don't respect our leadership. and certainly in the case of china, they take tremendous economic advantage of us, tremendous, to a point that is hard to believe. i'll get along great with the leadership. and we'll do well. yes, ma'am, in the back. >> following -- >> no, no, excuse me, in the back. >> i would like to know if you can -- what you recognize crimea as russian territory and also if it the u.s. -- sanctions -- >> we'll be looking at that, yes, we'll be looking. go ahead. >> first, quick one, you said -- [ inaudible ] you talked about the federal minimum wage? >> federal. >> second question about the extreme vetting. would religion be a part of the vetting? >> i'm not making it a part but at some point maybe people will change their minds but as of right now, i'm not making it a part. yes, ma'am, go ahead. >> -- 2014, trump's ignorance and -- >> who said that? who?

russia. it's probably china or could be someone sitting in his bed, but it shows how weak we are. how disrespected we are i'm assuming it's russia or china or one of the major countries and competitors. it's a total sign of disrespect for our country. vladimir putin and the leaders throughout the world have no respect for our country anymore and they surly have no respect for our leader, so i know nothing about it it's one of the most far-fetched i never heard. yes, john.

trump went on to say if either russia or china has access to clinton's emails, he would like to see them. in the newsroom, brandon gunnoe, 7news. >>> and the patriots are ready for camp. coach belichick greeting reporters for his first news conference of the season. it's the first time we've heard from the coach since tom brady's deflate-gate decision. dan hausle live in foxboro with what the coach is saying about brady, about the team. what do you know, dan? they didn't take the field, though. so no brady sightenings,but a lot of talk. actually the players and coaches talking about how brady dropping his appeal and accept the four-game suspension can be a good thing. >> reporter: coach bill belichick takes to the podium to kick off another nfl season. first in years where he knows he won't have tom brady as quarterback to start the season. brady's deflate-gate suspension prompting the coach to take a rare look ahead to week 5. >> tom will return as comes back. but in the meantime, we have to prioritize the first part of our schedule and that'll be getting ready to go. >> reporter: playe

china and russia has profoundly changed. u.s. relations with china and russia both seem to be deteriorating. meanwhile, china and russia are strengthening their strategic partnership, or even something or someone would call closer to an alliance. some strategic thinkers in the united states have began to worry about what they call an uneasy triangle. chinese analysts have adopted a new term called the new freaking them. [speaking in native tongue] to characterize the situation of today and try to extol its implication. now, are we entering a new cold war? what serves the best interests of each of these three powers? is it a risk for the united states to be on funding with both china and russia while confronting other challenges, such as isis and north korea? unfortunately these important questions are not being adequately debated in the united states. even during this heated campaign season. part of the rhetoric should not overshadow they need for discourse. we have three excellent panelists to share with us their insights and perspectives to address these important questions. ambassador roy on my right is not only -- but he also specializes in soviet affairs and serv

it's not even about russia or china, or whoever it is that's doing the hacking. it was about the things that were said in those e-mails. there were terrible things talking about jewish, talking about race, talking about atheists, trying to pin labels on people. what was said was a disgrace. >>> welcome, i'm stuart vanny in for neil cavuto and this is "your world." donald trump is about to speak in pennsylvania. if he brings this issue up, we'll bring you there live. first, john backoolton is the p ignoring what those e-mails contain? >> reporter: i think they are. there's a lot we don't know here. let's get a couple things out of the way quickly. number one, i do believe russia is capable of hacking the dnc, the rnc, my own enterprise institute, anything they want in this country? i believe they're fully capable of doing it and probably are. number two, do i think russia is capable of carrying out an effort to influence american elections, absolutely. not that i think i understand them enough to know how effectively, but i don't doubt they'd be prepared to try an

now, if russia or china or any other country has those e-mails, i mean to be honest with you, i wouldestion off mic] the most ridiculous conversation. don jr. -- let me save you a lot of boredom. [question off mic] mike pence will play a big role. bill let me tell you about john kasich. i never spoke to him about being vice president. we don't have good chemistry together. i have never spoken to him about being vice president. i would never pick him to be vice president. there was never a conversation, and he has a habit of doing things like this where he says things that may be a little bit shaky. let me -- and that was so long ago. i didn't even know i was goingng to get the nomination at that point. just so you understand. i would not have picked john kasich. wouldn't be the right guy. i mean for that to have gotten out there was so ridiculous. and then i was going to put him in charge of national and worldwide policy. so what's left for the president? i think you know me better than that. that was put out by him. he's a nice man, john kasich, he's fine. he's fine. i would never ha

is we're still a relatively young country, our birth rate is not dropping off like europe or russia or china's or japan's. that's as a consequence of immigration, it's economics 101. if you've got a younger population your growth rate is going to be higher. immigrants are strivers and they work hard. and they're looking to build a better life, otherwise they wouldn't move from where they were. that's been part of our culture and tradition and society. huge influxes of the sort we've seen in europe that's always going to be a shock to the system. and i think it is entirely appropriate for europe, even as generous as it has been, and i think that chancellor merkel deserves enormous credit and other european lead rers who ha taken in, you know, these migrant populations deserve enormous credit. that's hard. it's a strain on the budget. it's a strain on politics, a strain on culture. it's legitimate for them to say, look, we've got to slow this thing down. we've got to manage it properly. that's why we're setting up a un conference of refugees on the marke margins of the united nations general ass

if russia or china or any of the country has those e-mails, to be honest, i'd love to see them. >> now, the campaign, while donald trump was speaking, issued this statement from governor mike pence, his running mate, which seemed to contradict what donald trump was saying on stage saying the fbi will get to the bottom of who is behind the hacking. if it is russia and they are interfering in our elections, i can assure you both parties and the united states government will ensure there are consequences. trump's campaign spokesperson jason miller going on to say, trump wasn't calling on anyone to intervene. it's important to not let hillary off the hook because she illegally bundled e-mails from her home server. those statements contradicting what donald trump was saying on stage. also what he tweeted out moments after that press conference. i think it's important to put his words into context which wh it comes to the trump campaign in general. remember, this is a week where the dnc and hillary clinton are getting all of the attention because it is their convention. it should not be surp

. >> and at this point you don't expect russia or china or any of these other countries that might haven able to gain access through hackers and people being age to penetrate her server, her emails or those that were also receiving them, there is back end on both ways to come forward and say oh, yeah, in fact we got through. they would rather get the information and compromise her if she becomes commander and chief. >> that's right. and i don't expect that the united states would disclose that they know we have it because if we do disclose that, then we would be disclosing our own intelligence capabilities. so, there is a certain amount of what's called gray mail going on here where even if, for example, the cia is aware that the russians, or the chinese, or the iranians or some other bad actor has this information. they wouldn't want it disclosed because that would disclose that we are on to them. >> and now she is running, obviously, for commander and chief, the one to be in charge and deal with these countries and some of these hostile actors should she become president of the united

comes to the predator the life expectancy if you want , to fly it against a peer competitor like russia or china you could measure in seconds. , shooting one is not difficult. it cruises at about 100 miles an hour. its radar cross-section is obvious. we are not trying to hide it. we use it with impunity right now because the enemy cannot do anything about it. hardening against belichick might like -- hardening against electromagnetic energy is really in the space program, because space is a harsh environment and satellites in particular have had to be hardened against things. the sun emits all kinds of damaging radiation so we have had to learn how to protect these components long-term. so we know how to do it, more or less but it is expensive. , it weighs down whatever you are trying to harden. so if you want a loiter time of 24 hours with a predator, you really cannot harden it with electronics right now. one of the things we face and fear is when you remotely control something, that means , by definition, someone else could, in theory, take control. there was a case a few years ago when a sen

as far as russia or china or syria or isis, they are all threats. he has said that he will have robust policy that will put american interest first, make america safe, he believes that strong leadership with clarity of vision will keep out of the uncertainty of the better place.he pnt he was trying to taken off of the 33,000 missing e-mails that the fbi can't have access to, and most likely because of the insecure -- unsecured nature of the server in clinton's home for country probably have access to those 33,000 e-mails. who knows what secrets are in it's an example of the clumsiness and lack of interest by secretary clinton ahead of ame national security interests. >> dickerson: house ryan said russia is a global menace, is that something that donald trump would disagree with, do you think? mp has made it very clear he views russia to be somebody that we need to be firm with. and he is defined that he would put er dickerson: we turn now to the chairman of the republican national committee, reince priebus in racine, mr. chairman, paul manafort said

he didn't mention the countries, i assume russia or china or other countries because those countriesy hack all of that information. and it is probable, he said, that they have access to her e-mail account for four years. >> he actually said the word possible. >> he said it was possible. very possible. >> we know the russians and chinese have hacked the various state department serve per she is supposed to have used. and he said there was not intent to commit a crime. and priebus and trump and partisan republicans are attack -- >> they're raising questions about her judgment as secretary of state of the united states. because she didn't want the foia requests, freedom of information, she create this private e-mail account because she didn't want them to have access to the state.gov which she would have used that's imputing a motive by priebus and trump. let me just repeat. she said it was a mistake. >> it was because she didn't want the american public, including her political citizen toiks get access to that information. that's why she used these private e-mail servers that's an accu

involved, we assess that we would be unlikely to see such direct evidence of a foreign hack by russia or china this straight. the kremlin had the smart russian intelligence agencies hack into hillary's servers and had the dumb russian intelligence agencies hack into the d in. c. david: fbi is looking into it. whether you support an fbi investigation after we've seen with other email scandal we'll see. wikileaks is organization that posted these emails. they by the way have threatened to sue anybody who suggests that they were working in cahoots with the russians and with donald trump on this in any way, shape or form but where did they get it? >> i would shut wikileaks down as matter of national security. wouldn't surprise me if they didn't get something from a foreign intelligence service but it is also the case you don't have to be the fsb to get into somebody's email accounts. david: fsb is the russian intelligence agency. >> we have "gucifer" who hacked into sidney blumenthal. entirely wikileaks has people who got into it on their own. david: to the substance of these emails. hillary clint

if russia or china or any other country has those e-mails, i'd love to see them. >> that's the republican nominee. >> reaction to trump's statement on russia yesterday drew harsh criticism from opponents and disagreements even from allies. house speaker paul ryan released a statement, russia is a global menace led by a devious thug. putin should stay out this election. and michael hayden say, quote, if he's talking about the state department e-mails on her server, he is inviting a foreign intelligence service to steal sensitive american government information. if he's talking about the allegedly private e-mails that she destroyed, he is inviting a foreign intelligence service to violate the privacy of an individual protected by the fourth amendment to the american constitution. >> and later in the night national security figures criticized him from the democratic conventions podium. >> donald trump calls himself the law and order candidate. but he will violate international law. this morning, this very morning he personally invited russia to hack us. that's not law and order. that's crimi

i mean, the problem we have with foreign leaders, whether it's china, russia, or anybody, they don't y in the case of china, they take tremendous economic advantage of us -- tremendous, to a point that is hard to believe. i'll get along great with the leadership. and we'll do well. yes, ma'am, in the back? no, no. excuse me. in the back? reporter: [indiscernible] mr. trump: we'll be looking at that. yeah, we'll be looking. go ahead. reporter: first, a quick one on the minimum wage. you said we need to raise it to $10. are you talking about the federal minimum wage? mr. trump: federal. reporter: ok. second question about -- would religion be a part of the -- trump: i'm not making it a part. but at some point, maybe people will change their minds, but as of right now, i'm not making it a part. ok. yes, ma'am? go ahead. reporter: [indiscernible] trump: who said that? who? i think president obama has been the most ignorant president in our history. his views of the world, as he says, don't jive. and the world is a mess. you look at what's happening with the migration, with syria, with lib

they don't know if it's russia or china. who knows who it is. but you have 33,000 emails deleted. the real problem is what was said on tseho emails from the democratic international committee. reporter: the clinton campaign manager is suggesting the f.b.i. is investigating what donald trump said. this no doubt will catch the. >eyeof the trump campaign. martha: by talking so much about russia he pulled the narrative away from the under lying contents of those emails which a lot of people think is the stronger focus. now it's talking about the hacking and russia which many people thought was a head fake. bill: i think last night when you think about 12 years to the day barack obama is back here. he walked out of the wilderness 12 years ago. he likes to do things based on historical moments in the past. he likes to put that marker down. the irony that you can time it exactly to the 12 years, extraordinary. what about the things he did not say. a closer look at what was missing from that speech coming up. martha: hillary clinton and the actual poll numbers out there. the one group of

. >> anchor: now he's saying that he was joking when he to suggest that russia use hillary clinton email.reporters china or russia could get access to clinton's emails he wanted to see them. he said he wanted to work with russia to ght is. along with russia. and then we say let's go get isis. let's go get isis. let's go get isis right now. let's knock them out. >> anchor: saying trump wasn't inviting a cyber attack from russia. 7 news is your political news for the race for the white house. >> anchor: also on 7 the somerville police union standing together. union to take down a black lives matter sign hanging at city hall. this banner back lash is getting all kinds of attention. brandon gunnoe live in somerville with the latest on what is going on there. any decisions. >> reporter: no decision yet. it's getting more than attention. it's dividing this police department. what i mean by that this chief of police in somerville supports this black lives matter sign. union said after protesters started to target and kill police this sign needs to come down. holding up cops lives matter. members of the police uni

we're still a relatively young country, our birthrate is not dropping off like europe's is or russia's is or china's or japan's. and that's as a consequence of immigration and it's economics 101 that if you've got a younger population, your growth rate is going to be higher. they're looking to build a b better life, otherwise they wouldn't move from where they are. that's been part of our tradition and society. huge influxes of the sort we've seen in europe, that's always going to be a shock to the system. i think it is entirely appropriate for europe even as generous as it has been and i think chancellor merkel deserves enormous credit and other european leaders who have taken in you know, the these guy mooi grant populations deserve enormous credit. it's a strain on the budget, politics and on culture. it's legitimate to say we've got to slow this thing down and manage it properly. that's why we're setting up a un conference on refugees on the margins of the united nations general assembly because a few countries shouldn't be shouldering the burden for 60 million refugees. we've got to come up wit

they have no idea if it's russia or china or somebody else.nd the real problem is what was said on those e-mails from the democratic national committee. you take a look at what was said on the e-mails it was disgraceful. it's disgraceful. they talk about religion, they talk about race. they talk about all sorts of things including women and what they said on those e-mails is a disgrace. and they're just trying to deflect from that. absolutely. >> so then jake sullivan weighs in and said this is first final that a major presidential candidate has actively asked a foreign power to conduct espionage -- >> i didn't encourage them. it was said with sarcasm. i don't know who has them. i don't know. it's sad that a foreign country disrespects us so much that they would do that. >> when you look at vladimir putin, you said he was a great leader -- >> no, i said he's a better leader than obama. a better leader than obama. obama is not a leader, he's doing a better job. you have to understand, putin -- if we can get along with russia that's a good thing

no idea if it's russia or china or somebody else. >> reporter: think about that.he democrats did not waste time digging into the republican nominee in front of a nationally televised audience. >> think about it. donald trump is asking one of our adversaries to engage in hacking. >> we cannot elect a man who belils our closest allies likely embracing dictators like vladimir putin. >> i have nothing to do with russia. what do i have to get involved with putin before? nothing to do with him and i've never spoken to him and i don't know anything about him other than he will respect me. >> reporter: in years past, trump has said he and putin spoken directly and indirectly and trump denied having business interests in russia or them having russian-backed loans in his business. trump's tax returns might clear all of this up but trump said again yesterday, until irs audits are complete, those tax returns will not be released. >> robby mook is clinton's campaign manager and here with us. >> thank you. >> reporter: we want to talk about that story and where the ramification

i don't like what goes on in russia or in china or in vietnam but we allow americans to travel there. believing that that personal diplomacy is part of changing those places. finally, this is about government regulation. it's interesting that we are at the eve of real connections, real flights going down to cuba, but we will have to sign affidavits, we have to store records for five years, we'll be subject to 10 years in prison and $250,000 in penalty if we fill out a form wrong. so this is also about easing government regulations. so in my closing i'd like to say a couple of thoughts. i want to thank kevin kramer and rick crawford and kathy castor and barbara lee and ability 130 other member os of this house who signed onto this bill. i want to thank jeff flake and jerry moran and mike and others on the senate side. i want to thank the u.s. chamber who will key vote this vote tonight. the office of latin america, americans for tax reform and a long list of others who said this is something that makes sense. and finally, i want to say we -- there is real momentum. as i just mentioned,

our birthrate is not dropping off like europe's is or russia's is or china's or japan's. that is a consequence of immigration. it is economics 101 that if you have a younger population, your growth rate will be higher. and immigrants are strivers and they work hard. they are looking to build a better life. otherwise they would not move from where they were. that is in part of our tradition and our culture and our society. a huge influx of this work we have seen in europe, that will always be a shock to the system. hi think it is appropriate for europe, even as generous as it has been. i think that chancellor merkel deserves enormous credit and other leaders that have taken and migrants deserve enormous credit. it's a strain on budget, politics, culture. it is legitimate for them to say we have to slow this thing down. we have to manage it properly. that is why we are setting up a u.n. conference on refugees on the margins of the united nations general assembly because a few countries should not be shouldering the burden for 60 million refugees. and we have got to come up

from the russians instead deleted personal e-mails from her private ser qualms about asking russia, china or anybody of fear to hack into a system in this country. >> let the president -- >> does that not give you pause? >> it gives me no pause. you know what gives me more pause, that a person in our government, crooked hillary clinton. be quiet. i know you want to save her, that a person in our government, katie, would delete or get rid of 30,000 e-mails. problem. >> i find it deeply troubling any american let alone one running for the president of united states would encourage russian espionage. unprecede unprecedented. >> while trump was speaking, his campaign blasted out a statement from his running mate, governor mike pence contradi contradicting him saying if russia was interfering i can assure you both parties and the united states government will insure there are serious consequences snchbt b but the repca tweeting if russia or any other country orlary clinton's 33,000 deleted e-mails perhaps they should share them with the fbi. the fbi investigated clinton's personal server andec no

the candidates will be offered briefings on both sides covering russia or china. weekly but they will be irregular and include the updates on broader issues so the candidates have an opportunity to think about what the u.s. government knows about w china, russia and advance. there's a big difference between what they get and what the president gets. >> is it possible to think the government would ever really lie or mislead a presidential nominee? >> heck no. that's a ridiculous suggestion. what will happen is the white house will go to the intelligence committee and say, you can talk about these issues, don't get into detail, for example, for how we collect information on russia. don't talk about issues not approved by the white house, but give each candidate a lay down of what the u.s. government and the intelligence committee knows about security officials so the candidates can start understanding what this sort of breath of knowledge is that the intelligence committee can bring to bear on issues that affect the american security. they will not, the intelligence

russia or china or some other enemy state, had they gotten they'd server, certainly be keeping it quiet and we might not know about it nd i think that's what the fbi director said. host: donny from virginia, democrat. hi, donny, good morning. yes.er: my comment is on hillary .linton, her e-mail, hacked.il was not they're just complaining, and that the already said and have s, let it go least $7lions -- or at million. costing a debt over the situation. let it go. they all have done it. one president that did -- i'm not going to name it, past, has been in the hat needed 7 million e-mail servers. he's never been investigated at all. host: so donny is referring to a couple of things. 7 million, price tag for the benghazi committee looking into that. do you think, congressman, that there should be a special to look into up the fbi's inquiry into hillary clinton? the existing community structure will be fine to look into. nd there wasn't a verdict, actually, but what happened is the fbi and loretta lynch both exercise prosecutorial discretion, which is choosing prosecute. i think everybody wo

it's in the interest of china to align the positions with russia as a very historical moment. they do acknowledge there's know material friends or perpetual enemies. at this moment it's in china's interest to work with russia and they will do so maybe in the future when the conditions change. i don't think they have in problem changing the nature of their relationship either. it's just the conditions such conditions have not arised yet. with the public opinion, as a little bit more diverse than this consensus among the policy folks. the public seems to be hanging on to the historical issues more, and in china and public scholars territorial laws to russia. to be more open minded about opening their energy sectors our investment. they feel that russia should be more tolerant and cooperative in the bilateral relations given the strategic disadvantage. on the other hand, we think the chinese public opinion there's also this tremendous admiration of putin. they feel that the russian leader has achieved what the chinese leaders have failed to achieve in the international politics which is respect and the ability to assert the nation'

our birth rate is not dropping off like europe's is or russia's is or china's or japan's, and that's as a consequence of immigration. and it's economics 101 if you've got a younger population, your growth rate is going to be higher. and immigrants are strivers and they work hard and they're looking to build a better life. otherwise they wouldn't move from where they were. and that's been part of our tradition and our culture and our society. now, you know, huge influxes of the sort that we've seen in europe, that's always going to be a shock to the system. and i think it is entirely appropriate for europe, even as generous as it has been, and i think that chancellor merkel deserves enormous credit and other european leaders who have taken in, you know, these migrant populations deserve enormous credit because that's hard. it's a strain on the budget. it's a strain on politics. it's a strain on culture. it's legitimate for them to say, look, we got to slow this thing down. we've got to manage it properly. that's why we're setting up a u.n. conference on refugees on the margins of the

graduate student in the international affairs and my question is about, we hear a lot about the us china or us russia relationships regarding syria and iraq and everything that's going on there china is very absent from that domain so i'm curious as to how you think some sort of attack in china would change that, especially given that the chinese tend to think more long-term than the united states and only russia as well. thank you. >> maybe ambassador? >> the question is, there's a lot of attention to the russian actor in the syria isis problem in the middle east. china is very concerned about domestic terrorism. they are particularly concerned about terrorism, lace to the weavers and fishing john where are there are some external organizations that claim to be trying to stimulate resistance or separatist forces in the area. clearly if there was a linkage emerged between isis and weaker terrorism in chen-chang, the chinese would treat this as a top priority issue. there is cooperation and intelligence exchange among countries that are concerned about this type of terrorism. and i think china is part
