made me do it russia put trump and power russia you know russia russia russia all the time. you know and there's never any any chance to look at oneself and say maybe we did something wrong maybe we're the ones that are upsetting the voters maybe maybe we no longer represent the american people and instead they're trying to paint this dichotomy well it's either you go you know you're with us because we're americans or if you're not with us then you're with russia which is not america we can't you know if there is no you just said. you know joe one of the interesting things that you know i have noticed is that it and this is my theory about the hoax of russia gate hoax is that it was one way for the democrats not to have any introspection after 2600. you're absolutely right if you want to blame someone for trump selection blame the media i mean all they did was demonize him and anyone that would vote for him well you know the rest don't like to be demonized they're doing it again in this election cycle i mean they focus all their anger on the wrong issues

you have as well that was always the russia russia russia conspiracy but really all roads keep going back to you craig they still go back to ukraine it's not russia at least not ukraine and the brookings institution now which by the way everybody knows in washington is a very far left leading think tank its associate with the democrats the d.n.c. hillary clinton barack obama at all and more importantly joe biden all roads lead back to the same place so didn't change joe who also worked there at the brookings institute as been pointed out of his report there all roads lead back to the same group of individuals who have common goals but it but as you talk about rick the real power in government isn't the president oftentimes it's those in the structure around the president because the president. is a tourist really make a comment see that they go that's my point and that the democrats are just going up research everybody does operate search the right guy steele was a guy who used to work for the i 5 and then he needed a job so he took a job making more money filling reports of stuff he used to know and put his name on it the other people he used ar

when you always talk about russia, russia, russia, china, iran on voting, your biggest problem is goingsn't supported by the facts and his opposition to it appears to have more to do with the fact that higher turnouts tend to favour the democrats. it's the sheer volume of mail—in ballots that could cause the problem and the postal service is warning it can't guarantee they will all arrive in time to be counted. a letter sent to states across the country says certain deadlines for requesting and casting mail—in ballots are incongruous with the postal service's delivery standards. democrats are furious and have accused the president of deliberately seeking to sabotage the system. the president says he's not putting up any money for absentee voting and he's not putting up any money for the postal service, undermining the health of our democracy. the prospect remains that if the beleaguered us postal service fails to rise to the challenge, millions of american voters could be disenfranchised. and such is the irony here that two of the most recent florida residents to register to vote by mai

. >> everybody talks about russia russia russia. chinak china. countries that will ruin the elections that is false. and those for north korea. >> they could get the ballots and print forgeries and then they would go out and have a field day. >> the national security agency and fbi are providing a rare glimpse behind the cybercurtain but the hacking tool on full display and it they said has the potential to have widespread havoc across the usea system. it's notorious government intelligence hub design is to break directly into national security dto systems. but cybersources fear it could be destroyed and already can have been used in the run up to 2020. interference is already well underway. >> the underlying intelligence is so alarming and chilling it should be classified. every american has a right to know. >> without compromising sources, yes. >> the team and says they are doubling down on efforts. >> they have engaged in cyberattacks and that sort of t thing with that election and infrastructure and we are aware of it and taking steps to coun

russia, russia, russia. let me just be very clear, russia about propaganda, and that's what they have been pushing from the very minutes information -- manipulates information and pushes propaganda. the chinese are on a completely different level. we have a crisis with the russians and the russian disinformation campaign, or but the current crisis, the current situation that we are dealing with that is incredibly serious is the chinese threat. it's a much higher threat. and so what john ratcliffe is trying to do is solve that problem. i applaud his work. maria: yeah. which is why i wonder who's culpable in congress that for three years of this president's term they were looking for ghosts under the bed on russia when, in fact, they missed the true adversary which is china. r irk c, before you go real quick, congratulations on an amazing speech at the rnc. you also put a video together. and you said president trump has been the best president for the gay and lesbian community. tell me why. that was such a statement on the heels of what really looked like a much bigger tent at the rnc than anyone expected whether

russia. do you ever notice, they always say russia, russia, russia, they don't mention china, china, china, because most of these people -- you look at the nba, they're bought off by china and china has a big pot of gold so they say let's use russia instead of china. but china's a big problem. and i've made it a much smaller problem. the fact is, that with hong kong, we're saving a massive amount of billions of dollars it's not going to work. it can't work. it's all based on the dollar. i've made the dollar stronger. i've made the dollar stronger to a point that there is almost no secondary currency, the dollar is stronger now than it's ever been and it will be even stronger in my second term and i don't mean just from a price standpoint, i'm talking about the pedigree of the dollar. unless a biden gets in with his stupid taxes. he'll tax this country into a depression like in 1929. if you do what he wants to do, his plan -- you have to say, maria, at predicting things i've been pretty good, saying i'm going to win the election, i'm going to win it a second time, by the way. one of the reasons i'm

russia, russia, russia. it was made up, fabricated. it was a crime. you look at hillary clinton. she paid for the fake dossier and now the dossier is proven to be totally fake. it's a disgrace what happened and no other president should have to go through it, sean. >> sean: mr. president, they got it all wrong. they are listening to you tonight. they were wrong. there was no evidence of any trump russia collusion. we now know in january 2017 the sub source said yeah, none of this is true. it's bar talk. they never went after hillary for her subpoenaed emails that were deleted and bleach bid and hammers. they never went afterward turned out to be free meditated fraud on the fisa court. it says on the top of the fisa application not only was it not verified. he was on very viable and they were warned not to use and on occasions and definitively by january of 2017, they ignored her bought and paid for dirty russian now debunked dossier and they ignore the biggest abuse of power corruption scandal in history which then brings us to your comments yesterday about where we are. there's two issues i would like to see somebody that's a talk show host on that does include straight journalism, opinion, investigating journalism that the media mob doesn't do. i would like before any voting takes place see you debate joe biden. you've invited him that i would also like to have resolved what happen

russia, russia, russia, they talk about china, china, they talk about these countries that come in and run our elections, which is false. but what they don't talk about are things like very loose mail-in ballots, universal in nature that, frankly, russia, china, north korea, iran, all of these countries that we are reading about, hearing about, and in some cases writing about intelligence-wise, these countries can grab those ballots corporate forgeries of those ballots and they would go out and have a field day. for thethe easiest way mail-in ballots, the easiest way for a country like a china or a .orth korea or iran i hear iran, that was part of the report, this would be very easy for them. this is much easier. we have been very strong. if you remember, president obama was informed about russia by the fbi in said number. the election was in november. president obama decided to do absolutely nothing about it. people don't mention that very much anymore. that's a lost fact. he was informed very powerfully and president obama did nothing. we've done a lot and we have really shorted up, but what people can never prepare for our millions and millions of mail-in ballots because they can be forged, they can be captured, they can be taken.

administration has more sanctions than any prior in american history on your russia yet they go back to russia, russia, russiawhenever they can. that the military industrial complex and that's the democrats, they are part of the party of endless wars. donald trump as the antithesis of that. again, the swamp has teeth, the swamp has established itself for a long time. joe biden represents that fashion of washington, dc perfectly because he's been there for five decades. a half a century of failure, of disastrous policies, of doing nothing other than shipping our american dream abroad, and our young men and women abroad to fight endless wars where our own people, our own generals can't even give us a reason why we are still there. >> if you are looking for something dark, that is dark. why is that not considered dark i wonder? i wonder as well, tucker because what i saw last night when i talk about i saw the messages whether it's matt alvarez or sean parnell or herschel walker, we go through the list, i mean this was a message of hope about how great america is. what i saw last week was a never ending zuma call

intelligence committee made it crystal clear it was russia, russia, russia. president who won't call putin out for anything who said in helsinki. is the president becoming putin's puppet? is he becoming his mouthpiece? we have every right to know what the intelligence is and we have the right to question our analysts and if it requires subpoenaing them, i believe we should do that. >> part of this is the politicalization of the process that people like you warned about. the argument is that we don't want to brief you guys because you may leak sensitive information about sources and methods to the press or to other people. this method of doing it does not answer that problem if that was the problem. >> that's correct. >> and you know the leak is brought up every time the president wants to hush something up. the usps is a great example. everyone is this country is upset of the slowing of the mail. i had over 4,000 constituent inquiries aboutx2aaeé that. you see it in all the institutio institutions32 and now the intelligence committee has been actually impact

russia, russia, russia, and china iran. on voting. your biggest problem is going to be with the democrats, not with china and russia and iran. your biggest problem is going to be with the democrats. >> yeah, that's the president of the united states saying outloud that his political oppositions desire to find ways of allowing the american people to vote safely during the a deadly pandemic is not only bad, it is worse than overt election interference by america's foreign adversaries. and then donald trump's payroll tax holiday as he calls it. what it really is, is a carney trick. the money saved now comes due next year but only if joe biden wins. if trump wins he says he'll make a directive permanent so you don't have to repay it. like a carnival barker. vote for me and the money is free. vote for biden and you have to pay up and i'll say i told you so far situation i create. the saddest part is he thinks the american people will fall for it. speaking of the american people will fall for it. there is kanye west's campaign for president. but he won't be on the ballot kanye west is also an outspoken trump sporter and just so ha

of elections, when you always talk about russia, russia, russia, china, iran, on voting, your biggest problem will be with the democrats, not with china, russia and iran. your biggest problem will be with the democrats. but now the democrats, they want $3.5 billion, think of it. but now that they're unwilling to approve a bill that gives all of that money, of course we would never approve an amount like that, and they also want $25 billion additional for the post office, steve. 25 billion for the post office. so the post office can handle this vast amount of ballots being sent at random all over the place. they have no idea where they're going. so they want 25 billion and they want, think of this, they want 3.5 billion, would you say that is enough to cover it? i think we could do it for less. i think we could do it for less. but they want 25 billion for the post office because of this. and remember the new man who is a great person a great businessman, just bottom there a little while ago. the post office has been run poorly for many, many decade. great people in the post office, incredible people but they have had very bad leadership for ma

when you talk about russia, russia, russia and china, iran on voting the biggest problem will be with the democrats not with china russia and iran to the biggest problem will be at the democrats but now the democrats want $3.5 billion. think of it but now they are unwilling to approve the bill that gives all of that money and of course we would never approve an amount like that and they also want 25 elliott dollars additional for the post office, 45 elliott for the post office. the post office can hand hold up vast amount of ballots from all over the place. think of this they want 3.5 ilya and would you say that's enough to cover it? the think we can do it for less. but they want 25 billion for the post office and remember the new man who is a great person and a great is this man just got their own little while ago. the post office has been run poorly for many many decades. great people in the post office, incredible people but they have had bad leadership for many years so we will get straightened out but they turn down this bill because they want radical left agenda items that nobody in their right mind would approve.

russia, russia, russia, china, iran on voting. the biggest problem will be with the democrats, not with china and russia and iran. the biggest problem will be with the democrats. but now the dimmer filmic democrats want billions of dollars, but now that they are g to approve a bill that gives all of that money, of course we would never approve an amount like that. and they also want $25 billion additional for the post office. $25 billion for the post office. so the post office can handle the mass amount of ballots being sent all over the place. they have no idea where they are going. so they want $25 billion and they want, think of this, $3.5 billion, would you say that's enough to cover it? they can do it for less. i think we can do it for less, but they want $25 billion for the post office because of this and remember the new great businessman just got there a little while ago at the post office and it has been run poorly for many, many decades. great people in the post office, incredible people but they've had bad leadership for many years. we will get it straightened out. but they'd turn down this bill becaus

] and the dems don't want it back for political reasons, now their new line, this is like russia, russia, russiaall this crap they come up with. now their new line is they are trying to blame me and keep football shut down. they want to keep it shut down and they're saying that president trump shut it down. i'm the one that wants it open so they're reversing it. they're playing a big con game. it's just a con game. and that's what we're dealing with. and we have to defeat them on november 3. i want football back and big ten open. and now, the other day, joe biden came up with a plan to impose a blanket shutdown -- he would be willing to do another blanket -- we had to do it. we did a blanket shutdown, we saved millions of lives. instead of the number we have today, 175,000, we could have had two million today instead. it would have been unacceptable. unsustainable, we did everything right. we did it right. we closed it down. we stopped china. we stopped europe. now we're opening it up and we're opening it up to record numbers, despite the fact that the democrats are keeping their states shut dow

russia, russia, russia. they talk about china, china. they talk about all of these different countries that come in and run our elections, which is false, but what they don't talk about are things like very loose mail-in ballots, universal in nature that frankly russia, china, north korea, iran, all of these countries that we are reading about, hearing about, and in some cases they're writing about intelligence wise, these countries can grab those ballots or print forgeries of those ballots and they would go out and they would have a field day. this is the easiest way for the mail-in ballots is the easiest way for a country like a china or a russia or a north korea or iran, i hear iran, too. that was part of the report. this would be very easy for them. this is much easier than what we have been very strong. now if you remember, president obama was informed about russia by the fbi in september. the election was in november. president obama decided to do absolutely nothing about it. people don't mention that very much anymore. that's a lost fact, but he was informed very powerfully that they're going to do -- and president obama did nothing. we have done a lot, and we've really shored it up, but what people can never prepare for are millions and mill

russia, russia, russia. they talk about china, china. they talk about all these different countries that come in and run our elections which is false. but what they don't talk about are things like very loose mail-in ballots, universal in nature, that frankly russia, china, north korea, iran, all of these countries that we are reading about, hearing about, and in some cases they're writing about intelligence-wise, these countries can grab those ballots or print forgeries of those ballots and they would go out and they would have a field day. >> now, of course, andrea, foreign interference is certainly a critical issue and one that the intelligence community is focused on. but it's a separate issue, because the question becomes how can people vote both safely and securely in the election that is coming up. and what is this administration doing to make sure that happens and to make sure that the u.s. postal service has the funds and the resources that it needs in order to make that happen. so we still didn't get a direct answer to that question yesterday. we're going to have another stab at it. as you point out, the president is going to be holding a press conference in just about an hour from now, andrea. >> and geoff, you've been reporting on all

russia, russia, russia, they talk about china, china, they talk about all these different countries that come in and run our elections, which is false. these countries can grab those ballots or print forgeries of those ballots and they would go out and have a field day. >> that was president trump at the white house, with our kristen welker last night sharpening his attacks against voting by mail. he claimed without evidence that foreign countries could easily interfere with ballots sent through the postal service, even though that's how he personally plans to vote later this year. the president said he would not veto any funding for the post office if it were separate from the coronavirus relief bill. here to talk about these latest developments and much more is the speaker of the house, nancy pelosi. madam speaker, thank you so much for joining. let me start by getting your reaction to the last point we heard there, that the president says he would not veto a stand alone bill to fund the postal service. >> i don't know if the president realizes the -- how legislation works. right now we're in negotiations in which the postal service as well as vote by mail, absentee balloting to use his term, are being discussed for funding. as he's saying that we can send him a single -- a bill that is just about funding the post office, we would be happy to do that. but from what we see at the postal service, the removal of mailboxes, the removal of equipment within the postal offices and the rest is to undermine the postal service at a time when the postal service is needed now more than ever. 1.2 billion prescriptions were sent through the mail, in 2019. that was before the coronavirus. for this election, because people shouldn't have to choose between voting by mail, or choosing to be healthy, or being able to exercise their right to vote, the postal service is election central. the president himself and the first lady have asked for their absentee ballots. the rest of the country should be able to do that as well. >> so the president also claims that mail-in voting could lead to foreign interference from countries like russiaou get intelligence briefings, can you set the record straight. is there anything you've seen that backs up his claim? >> well, this is ironic because this president has welcomed interference from russia into the campaign. and he knows that russia is 24/7 actively working to help re-elect him. so let's -- this is a sad situation. we take an oath of office to protect the -- and defend the constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic. the actions this administration are taking, vis-a-vis our voting system, our sacred right to vote, are a domestic assault on our constitution. and what -- i think we spend too much time on what the president says and notion mongers out there. let's focus on how we can crush this virus, how we can support our children to go to school in a very safe way, we can put money in the pockets of the american people so our economy is strengthened, rather than take time wondering what he meant and if he knew what he was even talking about at the time and if his

russia russia russia. that's because behind a lot of what we're seeing, there is the -- you know, the shadowy hand of russia, but not in the direct way that some of the pundits may want to think that we're going overboard with. al russia over the last -- since the end of the soviet union, has been turned into an authoritarian state with a dictator like ruler who understood the strategic goals of the soviet union and dismantling american democracy and also using their money to co-op these democracies. they didn't start in the united states. they started in europe by funding conservative right wing, anti-immigrant racist and essentially fascist political parties in an effort to overturn the democratic order in europe. they're being quite successful and the united states is the last of the major countries that russia made this effort with. they didn't start with donald trump. but they started with the nra by sending influence agents in to there and they were successful. the evangelicals and the alt-right. david duke has an apartment in moscow. richard spencer's wife was the translator for putin's philosopher w

russia, russia, russia. >> 97 p even in this wild week, that was one of the most jaw dropping comments with donald trump he's talked to his buddy vladimir putin eight times, according to kremlin, not the white house, the kremlin and he's brought up the russiast egregious example of trump putting russia's interests ahead of america. the person that interviand back with us georgetown professor at george town university, thank you very much for being here. congratulations on that int interview i would love for you because you have been covering president trump for five years. what was is that conversation like having covered him all this time? >> it takes a fair amount to shock me after covering president trump since 2015, but that conversation did. it was actually less than what he said at the start. i was spried he admitted it. a they before a journalist asked him whether he raised the issue of russia paying bountys to taliban fighters to kill american troops with vladimir putin. president trump said i'm not talking about my conversation. when i pressed him, he admitted he hadn't. that surprised me. it was the second part that i found even more shocking, which is where i said to him, okay. type, this piece of intelligence has been taken ser
