you can't presume that vladimir putin is going to change his ways because you talk to them. i think it's a first step. right for president biden to meet with president putin to lay out what we want to cooperate on and where we disagree as he did in geneva and now the hard part of deterrence. credible deterrence. there are multiple areas where mr. putin is testing us, testing the fortitude and i think it takes some power to make those diplomatic conversations more credible. >> is the russian economy as vulnerable to this kind of cyber interference as is ours? i think about the idea of the responses to be proportional. are they as dependent, as vulnerable as we are? do they get kind of the stacks of this game that's being played here? >> our economy's bigger and many more targets and not doing the basic things. part of it has to be education and just that people are not using multiple authentication for the email. saying this to whoever is listening. that's crazy. here we can't get on the email system without doing that. part is also our resilience. but we do also don't want to

it is important to vladimir putin.or 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 thei

so there has been increasing pressure on the biden administration to hold russian leader vladimir putincount. remember, this comes in the context of the fact that less than a month ago, the two were sitting side-by-side when the u.s. president very strongly, articulated to vladimir putin, that there would be consequences if these ransomware attacks continued. even though they are not state-sponsored, in the eyes of the united states, the fact they are happening on russian soil matters. here is what joe biden had say about his telephone call in conversation with not a mere -- vladimir putin. >> the united states expects that this ransomware operation is not, not sponsored by the state. reporter: -- kimberly: in geneva, joe biden put together a list of 60 critical infrastructure areas he said could not be targeted. many people criticized that and said why did you tell him what was critical, and shouldn't anything be off-limits? that is the argument now, that joe biden's meeting seems to have gone to waste, has fallen on deaf ears, and they are looking in the united states for tougher 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

president biden today spoke with russian president, vladimir putin.aid the two leaders had an hour long conversation where biden insisted he'd take any action necessary to defend the u.s. jeff zeleny is at the white house. you talked to the president about this what did he say? >> reporter: president biden said he issued a new warning to russian president vladimir putin only three weeks after their summit in geneva where the cyber attacks were front and center in the conversations. and the president said the russian president listened to his complaint here, but, of course, the question is, what will be done about it? but after the president signed an executive order on competitiveness in business early this afternoon, we asked him if putin is taking him serious in his complaint? let's watch. >> the united states expects when a ransomware operation is coming from there, if it's not sponsored by the state we expect them to act if we give them enough information on who that is. and secondly we have set up communications now on a regular basis to be able

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

president biden vows to deliver his message again to vladimir putin after another cyber attack possibly with ties to russia. a so-called bible study group looking into bombs. the terrifying details about how a man prosecutors say at the capitol attack was planning even more violence. plus a dramatic jump in the surfside death toll as the mi miami-dade mayor delivers heart breaking news about the people who are still missing. welcome to "the lead". i'm pamela brown. we start with a new alarming cybersecurity attack linked to the rnc and possibly a repeat of the 2016 dnc hack with the very same criminals responsible. the rnc told cnn hackers hacked a third party vendor. hackers with possible ties to russia demanded $70 million worth of bitcoin from a series of i.t. companies, the companies service more than 1,000 corporate and government clients. both cyber attacks comes as the biden administration faces mounting pressure. what more do we know about this attack? >> the rnc uses syntax and it was attacked by hackers who they say tried to access some customers who store things in the cloud.

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 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

any emails, he reported discussed arrangements for an interview with vladimir putin. let's get this update now. the report with our correspondent ortiz, caleb mach, now, according to axis. els tucker carlson, was communicating with 2 intermediaries trying to set up an interview with russian president vladimir putin. shortly before he accused the national security agency, the n s. a of the united states of spying on him. now tucker carlson has confirmed his report on wednesday. he spoke up confirming it and went further saying that the n s a 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 been 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 na say has never had any plans

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

it's a claim that tucker carlson picked up and said, you know vladimir putin has a point. : oh six, the twice and peach disgraced ex-president sent out a statement with one line. who killed ashley babbitt? the circle is complete from putin to carlson to trump. >> tucker: let's put dumb middle-aged side people on tv. not a good idea. but none of these people could the irony of the core of all this which is a vladimir putin head of security forces execute unarmed women who were protesting his regime, we would correctly call that a terrible abuse of human rights.it who did it? we would say it's a fair question to ask. but ask the biden administration and you are a prudent lackey. so why don't we know basic facts about january 6th? julie kelly who told you repeatedly is one of the very few reporters who has prepped the government to ask those questions. you've done it before but i can't get enough of it. what don't we know about januart knows? what are they hiding from us in this moment that tells us we need to know more? >> the identity of the federal officer, let's keep in mi

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

all things considered a funeral about russian president vladimir putin has penned a long article on russia and ukraine. need to say it is a vote, a lot of responses. we tell you why this article is important. also so long angle and merkle, germany's long serving chancellor. what will be her lasting legacy? i to discuss these issues and more, i'm joined by my guess, jordan 70 really in budapest, he's a podcast or the guy which can be found on youtube and locals. and here in moscow were joined by dmitri bobby. he is a political analyst and editor, if you know me, internet media project or gentleman cross talk roles and effect, that means you can jump anytime you want. and i always appreciate it. i mean, let's go to georgia in budapest. well, georgia, russia always seems to be in the news one way or another, but it's an, it isn't a very different way this time. vladimir putin, the russian president pen to very, very long article. a very studied article, i would say about the relationship that russia has with ukraine now in the kremlin dot r u website. it's in english, ukrainian, and of course

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 h

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

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

as you know, vladimir putin usually can answer from 70 to 80 questions, so what happens to the other questions? pres. putin: that is exactly what i would like to start with today. so, in 2019, when we had one of the direct lines, it was a full-blown event like this one. we received one million inquiries and questions. when we combined the direct line event with the conference of the year, we had, well, more millions of questions. here's what i can tell you. maybe that is a little bit too self-confident of may, but i would like to say that we will do our best to take the best care possible of every question. in 2019, it was north of one million questions, i said it already. 500,000 have already been fully assessed, and we gave responses to all of them. some of them still are a work in progress. one reason is that, to properly respond to questions, we need to introduce changes to our laws, we need to solve some related questions, we need to change the budgetary plans. so it is a lot of work. that would be possible to do all of that, had we the healthy hand of the russia people's front.

president biden delivering a new warning to russian president vladimir putin tonight. >> the united statesration is coming from his country even when it's not sponsored by his state, we expect him to act. >> biden urged putin to take action to disrupt ransomware attacks coming out of russia. biden warning the u.s. has the right to respond if the assaults don't stop, a similar message to the one he issued in geneva three weeks ago. >> the bottom line is i told president putin that we need to have some basic rules of the road. >> the president is under pressure to act after a russian-based cyber gang carried out a massive attack on a small florida company, paralyzing hundreds of businesses. >> we don't have additional or new information suggesting the russian government directed these attacks. >> the white house also still not attributing blame after hackers breached a contractor for the republican national committee. though, biden did summon his top cyber security officials to the situation room this week to weigh responses to the latest onslaught. >> this is consistent with the president's

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

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

like many things that vladimir putin says, that's not the case. tell your viewers as troubling as it is that both the russians and the chinese would be developing these capabilities, the united states has hypersonic capabilities and ambitions as well. >> martha: so do you believe these weapons could evade our anti-missile systems? >> that is certainly possible that hypersonic technologies could cause problems for current missile defense systems, not just the united states but any missile defense systems. that's something that we're aware of and been aware of and one of the things that the defense department is focused on, is evolving our missile defense systems to adapt to new technologies like hypersonics that prevent or present delivery systems for nuclear warheads that we haven't seen before. >> martha: is it true the systems can take down computer system capability, transportation systems in the space that they operate in? >> i don't know in this particular setting that i can give you a good answer on that. i mean, there's concerns with the ef

she is also calling for russian president vladimir putin to stop supporting she joins us tonight. here. >> thank you for the invitation. >> bret: did you meet with president biden today? >> no. we didn't meet with president biden. you met with other officials at the white house. what are you hoping this administration does when it comes to belarus and russia? >> we know that the u.s.a. is promoting democratic all over the world and now when belarus on the frontline of this struggle between autocracy and democracy, you know, the u.s.a. has to be champion in support belarus and civil society and they fight for democratic changes in belarus. and, of course, we talked about our fight. we updated information about repression. about people who are continuing to fight who have not given up and we understand that we're doing our homework but with the help of democratic congress, our fight can be smarter and faster. and we try to appeal to our regime on the diplomatic level and the only way out of how to -- how can influence to this regime is only through the sanctions. so we support a str

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

where the president warned vladimir putin, is putin ignoring biden's warning?> well, we certainly hope not. the president was very clear about how seriously we take these threats. and that these certainly these ransomware attacks are emanating from russia and that there is a sense of responsibility that moscow should feel over that. and that if they don't, there will be consequences. i think the president has been crystal clear about how seriously we're taking this and about the potential repercussions for moscow if they don't do something about it. >> is the nation on a war footing right now when it comes to cyberattacks? >> i don't think we want to be on a war footing for cyberattacks, brianna. that's certainly not where we want to be. but we are in a state of individual lens, obviously and we have to continue to work on the resilience of our networks and our capabilities and to be able to have options available to the president should he want to use them. some options in the cyber world, options outside the cyber world. that's what we do here at d.o.d. to ha

. >>> president biden issues his russian counterpart vladimir putin a warning. the u.s. will hit back if cyber attacks continue. we'll look at his options. >>> and the western u.s. braces for yet another dangerous heat wave this weekend. live from cnn world headquarters in atlanta, welcome to all of you watching us here in united states, canada and around the world. i'm kim brunhuber. this is "cnn newsroom." ♪ >>> well, the last thing anyone in the u.s. needs is more confusion over coronavirus shots. according to the cdc, less than half of the u.s. population is fully vaccinated, but confusion is what we're getting after pfizer announced it's seeing waning immunity from its shots. it announced will try to get emergency authorization for a booster shot. well, that caught u.s. health agencies off guard. the cdc and fda put out a rare joint statement, reassuring americans that the coronavirus shots are working the way they're supposed to by stopping serious illness and dr. anthony fauci is offering his own clarifications. >> nothing has changed with regard to the cdc's reco

does vladimir putin even care?in many cases and we heard president biden on the lead-in talking about this not being supported by the nation state because they're organized crime groups, and that is true. however, i think it's unlikely that the russian government doesn't know who's doing it. this is where the u.s. is saying you, russia, need to utilize your law enforcement capabilities to stop the criminal actors launching attacks. if you don't do that, the u.s. has said we're going to take action. what does that action look like? we don't have law enforcement capabilities physically. we can't fly into moscow and arrest people. it would be some type of electronic action. i think that the president has made this additional statement and demand. we'll see where that goes. i think the u.s. is putting all options on the table. economic sanctions, diplomatic actions have been utilized. whether they're escalated or not. and how does the u.s. escalate digitally, electronically to actually disrupt the infrastructure in rus

[ laughter ] why the hell would i repute

different kind of threat, president biden spent an hour on the phone with the russian president vladimir putin warning him to do something about cyber criminals launching ransomware attacks from inside his country against crucial american industries and institutions. meanwhile, senate majority leader chuck schumer is warning lawmakers that they may have to work through their summer vacation if they can't get an infrastructure bill through the senate before august. we'll have much more on all of those stories coming up. right now, we've got newly released body cam footage from the justice department that shows yet again the extent of the capitol violence that officers faced during the deadly january 6 insurrection. in this video that we're about to show you, one of the rioters yells at the police, "you're going to die tonight." these videos are part of the government's evidence against capitol riot suspects. i want to warn you, they are disturbing to watch. >> you're going to die tonight! >> this is another newly released video that shows a police officer being dragged into the frothing maga mo

when she is gone, who will washington have to see into the mind of vladimir putin?>> some former chancellors in germany should. he is discredited to a great degree in terms of relations with russia. certainly, there are others in the social democratic party in germany that would be putting forth the view that we must work with russia and that we can't simply dig in and declare a new cold war with russia or with china. there will be enough interlocutors on that going forward but we have heard the green party chancellor candidate. they are not leading in the polls at the moment but they are very likely to be part of the next government. they said they need to see germany get much tougher on russia and china. brent: the image angela merkel has in the unit states, she is seen as a product of the end of the cold war. she had grown up in east germany and became the chancellor of the united germany. with her leading power, does that mark an inflection point in history in any way do you think? >> certainly it will changed transatlantic relations. she is someone who has seen

do any of the possible out comes change the relationship between the west and vladimir putin?ow we have been really unable to strike back at russia or at least if we do strike back we are still spending billions of euros through nord stream 2. >> i think nordstrom has gone so far that it's hard to imagine anyone walking it completely back. the united states is going to have differences with whatever leadership emerges in germany over china and russia. in both cases the german desire to have an economically led diplomacy or foreign policy will probably outpace us. i think that's going to be an inevitable area of some friction. ironically enough there might be less between the u.s. and the greens because the biden administration might find more often overlap stemming from environmental issues and human rights issues. tom: can't say enough about the required read, the world a brief introduction. a lovely primer on the state of the international relations. shelly banjo's really chalked this up. the mayor's race too close to call. you are the only one in the building who has figure
