it's very unlikely vladimir putin doesn't know what's going on.russia queasy overlap between cyber the government and the ones operate in civil and operate the knowledge of the government, that is a problem so this idea but there is a russian remote group out there handing out ransomware service vladimir putin doesn't know and can't do anything about it is unrealistic. jon: that group has offered they will make this decryption device available to american companies but they only want $70 million for it, correct? >> the way this works is they went into a security software company which buys other security companies for small businesses so what happened is over 1000 american small businesses were affected by this attack and they are requesting businesses between $50000 to $1 million and said look, we noticed a big impact with the small businesses so if you want 70 million and you can take care of all of the thousand or 1500 american companies and it's outrageous because you see happening a criminal hacker group making money but also potentially acti

now present, joe biden has called on russia's vladimir putin to crack down on cyber criminals. last week, more than a 1000 businesses in the u. s. affected by a ransomware attack, originating from russia, security analyst, sworn. such attacks have become the main focus of groups seeking to extort payments from companies. white house correspondent kimberly hallett has more washington d. c. such as concern of the white house is concerned from ordinary americans who have been victimized by these ongoing routes and were attack. so the impacts have been felt with the rest were attack on the colonial pipeline. that also occurred recently that resulted in americans not being able to fuel their gas tags in some cases for up to a week. and then we also saw the meat packing industry effective. and that of course, impacted the the supply chain. and what gets food to american tables as well. so there's been increasing pressure on the by an administration to hold the russian liter vladimir putin to account. they have to remember all this comes from the context of the fact that just less tha

s. president promised and very strongly articulated to vladimir putin that there would be consequences if these rats were tax continued, even though they're not state sponsored in the eyes of the united states. the fact that they're happening on russian soil matters. here's what the u. s. president joe biden had to say about his telephone call at his latest conversation with last year when we're already coming from historical, even though it's not, not sponsored by mistake, expect them to actually give them enough information to actually do that. now you remember perhaps back in geneva that job wide and put together a list of 16 critical infrastructure areas. good. he said, cannot be that many people kind of criticize that and said a why did you tell them what was so critical and be really shouldn't anything be off limits? and so that's the argument now that there's been another cyber attack is but job wide and meeting it seems to have gone to waste has fallen on deaf ears. and they're looking in the united states for tougher action from joe. by that, what the white house press secreta

you have warned the european union against engaging in direct dialogue with russian president vladimirknuckling to resolve anything -- that is not going to resolve anything. >> that is a weird and different case. some eu countries were suggesting we get back to the discussion table. we opened the chapters that had been closed after 2014 when russia occupied parts of ukrainian territory. to my knowledge, the territories are still under occupation, therefore, i don't think bad behavior should be rewarded by be opening to discussion. if european leaders would find a way to send a message to putin, he would send a message to lukashenko, i would say that that is a good idea. maryam: a weekend of dangerously hot tempers -- temperatures, power cuts and fires appears to be in store for the u.s. west coast. a brutal heat wave across california and nevada as sparked multiple massive wildfires. authorities ordered nearby campsites to be evacuated. temperatures could reach 54 degrees celsius at california's death valley. the state energy operator is warning of possible rolling lockouts on friday.

i'd much rather give back contract to base house in vladimir putin. to me. why is the political left so upset about this? it's really bile that comes out about these guys, it's amazing to me. remember it was a democratic president kennedy and vice president lyndon johnson who did so much to push the moon program although many years ago. what changed here, doesn't have to be a state enterprise or what's behind their real frustration and upset about this? >> there is this weird liberal nostalgia for nasa right now. i have my pride in our space program the reality is, private sector has always done things better than government and you are seeing some of that now but the real problem here is that they can't see through their political agenda and politicize asian of it. they are desperate to expand the size of government. to do that, you need to raise taxes and to sell that, you need to demonize the 1% and super wealthy so no matter what they do, no matter how good for innovation or some future technological advancement down the road were simply pride in

he reportedly discussed arrangements for an interview with vladimir putin authorities, caleb month, and now reports. now according to axiom z, tucker carlson was communicating with 2 intermediaries trying to set up an interview with russian president vladimir putin shortly before. busy he accused the national security agency, the n. s a, the united states of spying on him. now tucker carlson has confirmed this report on wednesday. he spoke up confirming it and went further saying that the essay had actually leaked emails in the hopes of discrediting him. here's what the fox news host had to say. why would they do that? well, the point of course was to paint me as a disloyal american. a russian operative then called that before a student of the kremlin a traitor doing the bidding of a foreign adversary. now it gets even more interesting because we had a situation where the n s a actually responded to tucker, carlson. tucker carlson has never been an intelligence target of the agency. and the honesty has never had any plans to try to take his program off the air. we target foreign powers

number of journalists and news anchors in the united states who have interviewed russian president vladimir putin. so the question is, why was tucker carlson single doubt and subject to surveillance? at this point, the n s a is reputation as a result of the edward snowden revelations and many other things that had been brought to light is certainly once again in question. now it seems tucker carlson is taking them to taska and many people who had meyer or watch tucker carlson are asking themselves questions about the new surveillance culture in america. let's get back to our top story for you here. when you international the us president joe biden says america's mission, and i'm gonna stop is complete. as the remaining us troops are about to be withdrawn from the country. let's discuss this further now. jesse chad with a us veteran who's certain ask on is, are joining us here on the program. good to see you today. thanks for joining us for an international. joe biden is saying that america is a chief objective and i've got to start was quite what he said that he said he was quote, to, to br

vladimir putin says something. tucker carlson says he has a point.esident is overseas getting ready to meet with him. and then within a few news cycles, it's collusion in plain sight. >> absolutely. >> it's disturbing -- >> i'm sorry, frank. let me bring andrew in and i'll come back to you. >> sorry, i was going to agree with frank, my colleague from my fbi days, that if you think about what tucker carlson could have done here, he could have followed the same route that "the new york times" and other respected journalists did when they were incidentally overheard and may have, in fact, not been incidentally had their call records obtained by the department of justice. they could have gone to the attorney general and tucker carlson could have joined them to say what i'm concerned about here is not that there was incidental collection when i am calling a foreigner, including if you try to reach out to vladimir putin you can pretty much be sure you're going to be high risk of being intercepted. he could have said, look, there's a first amendment issue a

vladimir putin's taunting and threatening the united states. china's dictator right now is hurling a few violent threats of his own, he doesn't want to be left out. the ccp will probably never take responsibility for the virus they unleashed on the world. according to one new report, a top researcher at the wuhan institute of virology has decided chinese military. what can we do to hold the malignant communist party of china accountable? jenny me know, senator tom cotton. thanks for joining me. >> good to be on with you. >> dan: you are one of the voices, you are attacked grotesquely attacked for speaking truth early on and asking basic questions. there's a lab in wuhan that studies corona viruses, we have a coronavirus outbreak that had safety problems in the past. he said, maybe we should ask them questions. you were brutally attacked. i know you're not one of these shouting guys, but it's got to be feeling good to be right. they look like idiots now. >> i wish i had been wrong, obviously given all of that the americans have lost over the las

does vladimir putin keep hundreds of unarmed protesters, does he do that? completed the circle again. now it's put down to jacob chancellery. it all makes so much sense. he has not committed any violent crime. the judges, so this is d.c. judges and d.c. prosecutors are torturing this man who committed no violent crime but we also need to know why police officers were attacking peaceful protesters outside of capital and provoking them with things like flash bangs filled with rubber pellets, sting balls, dousing them with tear gas. these are just a few of the questions out of dozens that we need to ask, and again, maybe liz cheney, our friend who pretends to be on our side can pose those questions as part of nancy pelosi's commission. >> tucker: if you are holding people in solitary confinement in a d.c. jail for nonviolent crimes, at some point they become political prisoners. you don't want to hide anything or sensationalized but at what point does it become a political prosecution and why aren't republicann? leaders asking them to? i know mitch mcconnell i

it is important to vladimir putin. for him, what's most important is keeping regime control and keeping his country as a world power. as long as we are allowing him to do anything within his power to hold that control and doing nothing to stop them, he will continue doing that. host: let's talk to andrew calling from new york on the democratic line. good morning. caller: thank you for taking my call and thank you for c-span. two general questions. is there anything you could do to defend against the attacks? the united states is one of the preeminent countries in the world, we are susceptible to this extortion. how would you compare the israeli attack on iran? thank you for your time and have a good day. guest: i will say, to answer the last question first, i think that attack has not been officially treated to the united states. we have not said we have perpetrated that attack. that was an attack that created physical consequences in iran. it slowed down their nuclear reactor in their borders. that was an attack on th

does vladimir putin keep hundreds of non-violent protestors in solititary? it's putin. makes so much sense. no, he hasn't committed any violent crime. the judges are torturing this man. why were police officers attacking peaceful protestors outside of the capitol. dowsing them with tear gas. these are a few questions out of dozens we need to ask. liz cheney pretends to be our side can pose those questions as part of nancy pelosi's commission. >> tucker: yes. if you are holding people for non-violent crimes they become political prisoners. i try not to use that phrase. at what point is it a political prosecution? why aren't republican leaders asking that. mitch mcconnell is busy but he could ask that question. an update on a leading democratic presidential candidate from the last cycle want the man who was going to change this country and rid it of trumpism. creepy porn lawyer. what happened to his career? it's been put on pause for 2.5 years with good behavior. he got bad news in federal court. that's next. omega-3 from fish oil is an important nutrient for

he needs to send a very clear and strong message to vladimir putin. putin has had many years of being able tinker with the diplomatic core in the united states and elsewhere by using any number of techniques. he needs to be shut down and i hope president trump, excuse me, i hope president biden does the right thing. >> it's okay, it's only been a couple months. >> i should know. >> happens to the best of us. let's talk about the january 6 select committee. we know some republicans will be on it. obviously liz cheney appointed to the select committee. mccarthy will come with suggestions as well to nancy pelosi. talk me through some of the names that you've been hearing of, of course, my colleague garrett haake suggesting that possibly elise stefanik could be dangled as a name that's going to come from mccarthy. one of the questions that folks think about is republicans treated the january 6 riots as somewhat of a circus. republicans especially the congressman from georgia saying it was like a tourist visit. it was certainly not a tourist visit. what is

vladimir putin is capable of arresting these people this weekend and demanding they turn over the keysd here. >> ken dilanian did that interview with the cyber expert. also with us is charles carmichael, leading the investigation into the attack. good to see both of you. a lot of pressure, obviously, on president biden to do something. what are the options both in and out of government? >> the most obvious thing president biden could do is what he was called on in that bite you played, confirm the attack was launched in russia and demand that russian president vladimir putin arrest those behind it. the group that claimed responsibility is a russian-speaking hacking ring inside of russia that appears to have been given free rein to commit crimes in the united states. so far this morning, the biden administration has been radio silent about whether they believe this attack came from russia and whether they intend to do anything in response. if they do confirm this came from russia, the president has a menu of options raning from more sanctions to a military cyber attack on r evil, assumi

. >>> president biden and the phone call with vladimir putin today, issuing a new warning over the latest ransomware attacks targeting the u.s. those attacks again based in russia. and the president was asked today, will there be action if president putin doesn't crack down on criminals in his own country? >>> our team inside haiti tonight. the fbi and department of homeland security will help investigate in that country. and the video, nearly two dozen suspects under arrest, including two americans. what those americans now claim. >>> back here at home, the acting fda commissioner taking an extraordinary step tonight, calling for a federal investigation into that agency's approval of that new and controversial alzheimer's drug. >>> with the state of emergency in tokyo ahead of the olympic games and news that there will be no spectators, now the new headline tonight, the u.s. swimmer who says he will not get vaccinated. >>> the countdown to the billionaire space race. virgin galactic's richard branson, what he plans to do this weekend. what jeff bezos plans to do nine days later. >>> and

you know, but anyway, but also specifically called out president russian president vladimir prudence. so let's take a listen to what he said. when i was with mister who has a real problem, he is sitting on top of an economy that has nuclear weapons and oils and nothing else. he knows, he knows he's in real trouble, which makes me more dangerous and my view is pretty weird. biden would say that though, because washington, i mean, has nearly the same amount of nuclear weapons as russia does, making it just as dangerous as moscow in that department. so why is russia in trouble? i mean, the, the entire situation really just seems like hostile rhetoric coming from across the atlanta. again, it's very timely as well. because remember, just last month there was a summit between joe biden and vladimir putin logging on to republican strategist and former 2016 trump campaign. senior advisor thus karen jones jones on the line welcome karen buttons claim. so we just started this kind of new relationship has concluded that would have led him puting that met in that, that summit. already the aggres

then he gives vladimir putin a free pass to build a pipeline to enrich themselves straight to germany when the trump administration tries to stop this because of the transit fees they would've bypassed. i mean, i don't understand how democrats up on the hill with you see that as being fair. block a pipeline here, but give it to russia?yp >> it's crazy, dan, that we would end a pipeline here, that's having stomach paying thousands of american jobs, while joe biden allows a pipeline to be built from russia to germany, to more deeply hook western europe on russian gas, and to prevent americans from exporting our gas to western europe, where we could create even more jobs here. let's not forget the third pipeline, it was russian criminals that hacked into the colonial pipeline that caused gas lines all across the eastern united states. joe biden's anemic response to them did nothing to teach vladimir putin a lesson that they cannot continue to harbor the cyber criminals that continue to attack america's critical infrastructure like gab pipelines or meat processing plants. the only thing v

so there's been increasing pressure on the, by an administration to hold the russian leader vladimir putin to account. they have to remember all these comes from the context of the fact that just less than a month ago, the 2 were sitting down side by side where the u. s. president promised and a very strongly articulated to vladimir putin that there would be consequences if these rats were attacked continued even though they're not state sponsored in the eyes of the united states. the fact that they're happening on russian soil matters . here's what the u. s. president joe biden had to say about his telephone call at his latest conversation with latimer when we're already coming from historically not, not sponsored by mistake, expect them to actually give them enough information to actually do that. now you remember perhaps back in geneva that job wide and put together a list of 16 critical infrastructure areas. good. cannot be targeted. many people kind of criticize that and said a why did you tell them what was so critical and be really shouldn't anything be off limits. and so that

we are on the line with vladimir putin. our colleagues here are working, together with volunteers at the call center, where we process your questions. last year, we had one big press conference. it included some questions from people. today, there will be no intermediaries. you can ask the president the questions directly. we have a special mobile app. with it, you can go live. here he is, russian president vladimir putin. hello. pres. putin: hello. >> we are here, at the call center. this is the heart of our q&a session today. there are operators. you can see the numbers you can use to call us or send us a text message or mms message. if you want to talk to the president directly, you can use the mobile app. there's going to be a video call. maybe you will be the want to get an answer from the president. -- the want to get an answer from the president. -- the one to get an answer from the president. our operators are working very hard. we have already 2 million questions, and they keep coming. people prefer phone calls, an

vladimir putin does things that no american leader would even consider.runs domestic disinformation campaigns. he lies to the public. he punishes people for opposing him or for believing the wrong thing. he even uses intelligence agencies to spy on his own citizens. beyond the pale stuff, so no decent american would interview vladimir putin, at least no reporter from fox news. that was the point they wanted to make, that's why they planned to leak the contents of my emails to news organizations. and yesterday,y, as noted, we learned they actually didid it. even now, some in the media are claiming that we deserve this. emailing with peopl know putin, are you? of course the nsa is watching you. that's what you get. but that's hardly the point. by law, the nsa is required to keep secret the identities of american citizens who have been caught up in its vast domestic spying operation.er so by law, i should have been identified internally merely as a u.s. journalist or american journalist, that's the law. but that's not how i was identified, i was identified b

and president biden calls out vladimir putin over cyber attacks threatening to take any action to protect the united states. we want to welcome our viewers here in the united states and around the world. i'm wolf blitzer and you're in the situation room. >>> this is cnn breaking news. >>> we begin with concerns with how long vaccinated americans will remain protected against covid-19. the cdc and the fda are insisting there is no pressing need for booster shots at this time. but pfizer says it plans to seek emergency use authorization for a booster shot as soon as next month. the company now seen waning immunity from its vaccine. there is a lot to discuss so let's get right to anthony fauci, the chief medical adviser to president biden. dr. fauci, thanks so much for joining us. we have a lot to discuss. let's start with pfizer. pfizer says people need a booster for its covid vaccine. the cdc and the fda say not so fast. who are americans supposed to listen to here? >> certainly they need to the cdc and the fda. the fda being the regulatory authority that has control over this. and the cdc

might enter a new era, russian president vladimir putin said, quote, "there is no happiness in life."s just what you get when you translate the kitten poster into russian according to a new report, rudy guiliani is not invited to his family's 12 person group chat aw, man. how's he supposed to meet any ladies as a reminder, he was married to his cousin lhlh the key element according to a new survey, just 5% of baby boomers said that they would plan n a pregnancy around their baby's tential astrological sign. though if a boomer has a baby, it was definitelely not planned. a teenager in portugal recently discovered a message in a bottle that was dropped in the atlantic ocean by a teenager in rhode island three years ago and even though it was a note, their exchange was still awkward. authorities recently arrested a brooklyn man after he allegedly threw a bag with $20,000 worth of marijuana off of a rooftop during a dispute and caused people on the ground to chase after the drugs. and it was cha people were pushing and yelling.

reporter: vladimir putin himself hailed sputnik v as the first registered vaccine against covid in thele world, and it was meant to be a world beater. the statistic suggested it was up to 90% or more effective. yet, we have a massive spike in cases an increase in deaths. it is primarily because russians are not getting vaccinated. they do not trust fund or the other vaccines that are available here, so it is interesting that vladimir putin finally revealed that he himself had received sputnik vaccine and he was trying to urge russians to go and get vaccinated. a real push to get people protected against a very reluctant population. laura: delays in opening the economy is having an impact on tourism. the fallout from the pandemic is costing trillions of dollars. the report is highly critical of the unequal pace of vaccination programs. europe and the u.s. racing ahead while lower income countries lag behind. the u.n. estimates the cost of lost tourism could rse to $3 trillion this year and suggests there is unlikely to be any real recovery until 2023. reporter:020, the year of no foreig

this is vladimir putin. of course he's gonna test us. of course he's gonna listen to that and not respond and tell there is a greater response from our side. and i think now is the moment. i think that president rightly drew some red lines and said you have to not do this. president putin said make my day, see if you can stop me. and now i think the administration has to respond more forcefully. >> the president met with mass shot top security officials today after reports of two more russian cyber attacks on sunday. a russian-based group claimed responsibility for what made be the largest ransomware attack on the united states in history. and there are reports that a republican national committee contractor was also targeted. the new york times reporting it was unclear whether the rnc attacks were related. but three weeks after he held his first meeting with putin, one in which he demanded that the russian leader rate it ransomware activities against the united states, and quote. back with us tonight is frank figliuzzi, former director
