Donald Trump Doesn't Take Russian Hacking Seriously: Dick Durbin | Morning Joe

>> I FREQUENTLY HAVE PEOPLE COME UP TO ME AND SAY GOSH YOU GUYS
SEEM LIKE YOU DON'T DO ANYTHING TOKE, IT SEEMS LIKE YOU DON'T
LIKE EACH OTHER. I ALWAYS RESPOND AS FOLLOWS,
ANYTHING YOU MAY HAVE WE HEARD ANY OF US SAY ABOUT EACH OTHER
PALES IN COMPARISON TO WHAT THOMAS JEFFERSON AND JOHN ADAMS
SAID ABOUT EACH OTHER. IT ISN'T ANYWHERE CLOSE TO WHAT
THEY SAID ABOUT EACH OTHER. WE HAVEN'T HAD A SINGLE INCIDENT
WHERE A CONGRESSMAN CAME OVER TO THE SENATE AND ALMOST BEAT TO
DEATH A SENATOR ON THE FLOOR OF THE SENATE.
WE HAVEN'T HAD A SINGLE INCIDENT LEAK THAT.
>> JOINING FRUS SPRINGFIELD, ILLINOIS, A MEMBER OF THE SENATE
JUDICIARY COMMITTEE, DEMOCRATIC DICK DURBIN ALSO AT THAT TOWN
HALL MITCH McCONNELL SPOKE ABOUT REPUBLICANS WILL FAIL ON THEIR
EFFORTS ON ObamaCare AN SEEMS TO SUGGEST TEAR ONLY OPTION MAY BE
TO WORK ACROSS THE AISLE AND MAKE ADJUSTMENTS TO THE
AFFORDABLE CARE ACT. IT SEEMS LIKE WHAT WE SHOULD
HAVE DONE. WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THAT?
>> WELL, THAT'S A BREAK THROUGH. I HOPE THAT THAT OCCURS.
REGULAR ORDER OF BES TO BRING A MEASURE BEFORE US ON A
BIPARTISAN BASIS AND TO MAKE OUR HEALTH CARE SYSTEM STRONGER IS
THE RIGHT WAY TO GO. THE IDEA WE'LL REPEAL TODAY AND
THINK ABOUT THE REPLACEMENT TOMORROW IS TOTALLY
IRRESPONSIBLE. I'M TRAVELING AROUND MY STATE OF
ILLINOIS VISITING RURAL HOSPITALS WORRIED ABOUT THEIR
FUTURE, BECAUSE THE REPUBLICAN PLAN THAT PASSED IN THE HOUSE OF
REPRESENTATIVES. >> SENATOR, IT'S WILLIE GEIST ON
A DIFFERENT SUBJECT. I WANT TO ASK YOU ABOUT THIS
MEETING COMING UP IN AN HOUR OR SO WITH PRESIDENT TRUMP AND
PRESIDENT PUTIN. YOU TWEETED POTUS DON'T LET
PUTIN OFF THE HOOK FOR ELECTION MEDDLING TOMORROW, IF YOU DO,
IT'S A STUNNING ABDICATION OF YOUR DUTY TO PROTECT THE U.S.
WE DON'T KNOW IF HE PLANS TO BRING IT UP WITH PRESIDENT
PUTIN. WHAT SPECIFICALLY WOULD YOU LIKE
OUR PRESIDENT TO SAY TO PUTIN? >> WILLIE, LET ME TELL YOU WHY I
RAISED THAT ISSUE, I'M SITTING IN THE ILLINOIS STATE CAPITAL.
WE WERE ONE OF THE VICTIMS OF PUTIN'S HACKING.
IT WAS THE VOTER INTO ILL THEY GOT INTO.
THANK GOODNESS WE DON'T THINK THEY CHANGED RESULTER OR HAD A
DIRECT IMPACT ON THE OUTCOME OF ANY ELECTION.
THEY WERE TRYING THEIR BEST TO DO THAT.
I MET WITH THE BOARD OF ELECTIONS.
THEY'RE WORRIED ABOUT THE NEXT ROND AND TEAR VULNERABILITY.
SO IS THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA GOING
TO CONFRONT THE RUSSIAN LEADERRANT THIS ATTEMPT TO
MEDDLE INTO OUR ELECTION INTO MY VOTER FILE IN MY STATE OF
ILLINOIS? SO FAR HE'S SHOWN NO INTEREST IN
THIS AND DOESN'T TAKE IT SERIOUSLY.
I WORRY ABOUT THAT. I THINK THAT OUGHT TO BE THE
NUMBER ONE ISSUE ON THE AGENDA. >> WHAT DOES IT TELL YOU,
SENATOR, IF HE DOES NOT RAISE THIS ISSUE WITH VLADIMIR PUTIN?
>> I DON'T THINK PRESIDENT TRUMP TAKES THIS ISSUE SERIOUSLY, I'LL
BE HONEST WITH YOU. THE LAST TIME HE MET WITH
RUSSIAN OFFICIALS IN THE OVAL OFFICE MAY 10th, WHAT HAPPENED
THERE WAS SHOCKING, SHOCKING IN TERMS OF DIPLOMATIC HISTORY.
YOU THINK A PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES WOULD BRING IN
FOREIGN MINISTER LAVROV AND THE RUSSIAN AMBASSADOR KISLYAK, HE
WOULD BAR THE AMERICAN MEDIA FROM COVERING IT, BRING IN A
RUSSIAN REPORTER, PHOTOGRAPHER, DISCLOSE HIGHLY SENSITIVE
INTELLIGENCE INFORMATION TO HIS RUSSIAN GUESTS THEN CHARACTERIZE
JIM COMEY THE HEAD OF THE DIRECTOR OF THE FBI AS A NUT JOB
AND ASSURE RUSSIAN VISITORS NOT TO WORRY ABOUT THE RUSSIAN
INVESTIGATION. IT TELLS ME THIS PRESIDENT IS
NOT TAKING THIS SERIOUSLY. THIS WAS A DAY OF CYBER INFAMY
WHEN THE RUSSIANS ATTACKED OR ELECTORAL SYSTEM T. PRESIDENT
OUGHT TO TAKE IT SERIOUSLY. >> SENATOR, WHAT ITSELF THE MOST
POSITIVE THING YOU HAVE TO SAY ABOUT VLADIMIR PUTIN AND THE
MOST NEGATIVE? >> WELL THE MOST POSITIVE THING
IS HE IS GIFTED IN HIS KNOWLEDGE OF HISTORY, OUR PRESIDENT IS
NOT. HE CERTAINLY KNOWS HOW TO MEET
WITH FOREIGN LEADERS AND TO PUSH HIS AGENDA.
OUR PRESIDENT HAS LIMITED EXPERIENCE IN THAT.
HE KNOWS THE INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES OF RUSSIA SINCE HE WAS
A MEMBER OF THE KGB A PERIOD OF TIME.
OUR PRESIDENT TENDS TO DERIDE HIS OWN INTELLIGENCE ACTIONS AND
THERAPY FINDINGS. SO HE'S IN A STRONG HAND IN THIS
NEGOTIATION COMPAREDARED TO OUR PRESIDENT.
IN TERMS OF HIS WEAKNESS, HE, TOO, SUFFERS FROM A FORM OF
MEGALOMANIA, HE IS TRYING TO RESTORE A SOVIET EMPIRE WHICH IS
LONG GONE IF HISTORY. HE IS INTIMIDATING HIS NEIGHBORS
IN A VARIETY OF THE DIFFERENT WAYS, IT IS UP TO THE UNITED
STATES OF MARC TO STANDS UP TO THIS TYRANT.
>> SENATOR DICK DURBIN, THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR COMING OTHEN
SHOW. >>> UP NEXT, BREAKING
