Trump Backpedals On Joint "Cyber Security Unit" With Russia

YOU KNOW THAT DONALD TRUMP AND PUTIN RECENTLY MET, THEY
DISCUSSED WHETHER THE RUSSIANS COLLUDED IN THE ELECTIONS, THAT
PART IS COMICAL, AND THEY DECIDED THEY WEREN'T GOING TO
PURSUE THAT ANY FURTHER AND THEY PUT THAT ASIDE.
THAN THEY
THOUGHT ABOUT WORKING TOGETHER.
BUT FIRST TRUMP HAD TWEETED --
>>I WANT TO LAY THAT OUT THERE
SO YOU KNOW THERE IS NO TALK OF
FURTHER SANCTIONS AGAINST RUSSIA, IF THEY COLLUDED IN THE
SELECTION TRUMP IS NOW SAYING I'M DONE WITH IT, REX TILLERSON
SAID THE SAME, THEY SAID I BROUGHT IT UP TO HIM ONCE, HE
SAID HE DIDN'T DO IT, WE WILL MOVE FORWARD AND WE WON'T PUNISH
RUSSIA, WE WILL EMBRACE THEM.
LINDSEY GRAHAM, REPUBLICAN
SENATOR FROM SOUTH CAROLINA, ACCORDING TO THE HUFFINGTON POST
--
>>IT TOOK A REPUBLICAN TO SAY THAT.
ON THE SHOW LAST WEEK I
WAS SAYING THEY WENT AND HAD THIS MEETING AND NOTHING CAME OF
IT, WHY IS THE MEDIA GIVING HIM ALL THIS CREDIT FOR BRINGING THE
COLLUSION ISSUE UP WITH PUTIN?
HE BROUGHT IT UP, AND THEN WHAT
HAPPENED?
FINALLY WHEN REPUBLICANS GO, YOU KNOW WHAT?
THAT DOESN'T MEAN A DAMN THING, THAT MEANS PUTIN THAT WORST WAS
UPBRAIDED FOR IT, WHICH ACCORDING TO BOTH SIDES IT
WASN'T EVEN UPBRAIDING -- IT WAS LIKE, DID YOU GUYS MEDDLE?
YOU
DIDN'T?
LET'S MOVE ON -- THERE ARE NO CONSEQUENCES AT ALL.
THANK YOU, LINDSEY GRAHAM, FOR MAKING THAT POINT.
THAT EVERY
DAY I THINK LINDSEY GRAHAM ON THE SHOW.
NOW WE MOVE ON TO WHAT
HE MEANS BY WORKING CONSTRUCTIVELY WITH THE RUSSIANS
--
>>WAIT, WHAT DID YOU
JUST SAY?
WE WOULD SET UP A CYBER SECURITY
UNIT WITH THE RUSSIANS TO INVESTIGATE HACKING IN OUR
ELECTIONS?
ARE YOU MENTAL?
YOU ARE GOING TO SET UP A CYBER
SECURITY UNIT WHERE A FOREIGN COUNTRY, BY THE WAY WHO ALSO
DOESN'T NECESSARILY HAVE OUR BEST INTEREST IN MIND ALL THE
TIME, I WOULDN'T DO THIS WITH OUR CLOSEST ALLY LET ALONE
RUSSIA -- WOULD THEN HAVE ACCESS TO SOME OF OUR VOTING
INFORMATION BECAUSE THEY ARE HELPING US WITH CYBER SECURITY?
NO, TRUMP DID A DEAL WITH THE RUSSIANS, THIS IS MY
SPECULATION, HE DID A DEAL.
WHO IS INSANE ENOUGH TO SUGGEST
THAT?
YOU KNOW WHY?
BECAUSE PUTIN TOLD HIM IN THE MEETING,
WHY DON'T WE DO BETTER NEXT TIME?
WE WILL DO "CYBER
SECURITY" BETTER NEXT TIME.
NEXT TIME YOU GET REELECTED.
THERE IS
NO OTHER LOGICAL EXPLANATION FOR AN IDEA THIS INSANE.
I'M NOT THE ONLY ONE SAYING THAT, I WILL TURN TO
REPUBLICANS HERE.
HERE IS LINDSEY GRAHAM.
>>HE WANTS TO WORK WITH PUTIN, CLAIMING THAT THIS CYBER
SECURITY UNIT WILL PREVENT FUTURE ELECTION HACKING AND MANY
OTHER THINGS WILL BE GUARDED.
WHAT SAY YOU?
>>IT'S NOT THE DUMBEST IDEA I'VE EVER HEARD, BUT IT'S CLOSE.
HE
GAVE A GOOD SPEECH IN POLAND, PRESIDENT TRUMP DID, AND HAD
WHAT I THINK WAS A DISASTROUS MEETING WITH PRESIDENT PUTIN.
TWO HOURS OF MEETINGS, TILLERSON AND TRUMP ARE READY TO FORGIVE
AND FORGET WHEN IT COMES TO CYBER ATTACKS ON THE AMERICAN
ELECTION IN 2016.
QUICK NOT THE DUMBEST IDEA I'VE HEARD, BUT
CLOSE.
DAMN.
THAN JOHN MCCAIN, ANOTHER REPUBLICAN SENATOR, SAYS
--
>>THAT IS INSANE.
AND LOOK, YOU KNOW THAT I HAVE NO RESPECT FOR
DONALD TRUMP'S INTELLIGENCE, I AM AT ONE END OF THE SPECTRUM ON
WHAT I THINK HIS INTELLIGENCE IS.
THERE IS SOME CHANCE HE'S IN
THE SINGLE DIGITS IN I.Q., BUT EVEN SO THIS IS NOT AN IDEA
WHERE SOMEONE WOULD SAY HEY, DO YOU WANT TO DO A CYBER SECURITY
-- IT'S LIKE IF THE WOLF COMES UP TO YOU AND SAYS DO YOU WANT
TO GUARD THE HENHOUSE TOGETHER?
THE ONLY REASON YOU WOULD
CONTEMPLATE THAT, NO MATTER HOW STUPID YOU ARE, IS IF YOU WANT
TO MAKE SURE THE HENHOUSE WAS RATED.
YOU DON'T GO TO THE WOLF
AND SAY, YOU WANT TO PROTECT THE HENS WITH ME?
NOBODY IS THAT
STUPID.
ONE MORE THING, STEVE MNUCHIN IS HIS TREASURY
SECRETARY, AND UNTIL THEY WITHDREW THIS, WHICH WE WILL GET
TO IN A SECOND, MNUCHIN IS STILL GOING, AND HE SAYS --
>>MNUCHIN GOES OUT THERE AND DEFENDS THIS INSANE IDEA, THIS
IS A GREAT IDEA, WE WILL WORK ON CYBER TOGETHER.
WHAT DOES TRUMP
DO?
HEY, MNUCHIN, MEET THE UNDERSIDE OF A BUS.
WE
JUST CHANGED IT A COUPLE HOURS LATER --
>>WHAT?
IN OTHER WORDS, I'M JUST SAYING, I DIDN'T SAY ANYTHING,
I'M JUST SAYING.
MAYBE WE DO CYBER SECURITY.
NO, EVERYBODY
HATES IT?
EVERYBODY THINK IT'S INSANE?
IT CAN'T HAPPEN, NOW I
REALIZE IT CAN'T. BUT A CEASE-FIRE, THAT'S WHAT WE
TALKED ABOUT, A CEASE-FIRE THAT FREEZES THE CONFLICT IN SYRIA
WHERE ASSAD, PUTIN'S ALLY, HAS A HUGE LEAD, SO YOU SEE HOW TOUGH
I WAS ON PUTIN.
NO, I'M NOT SURE I DO.
IF YOU WANT TO GET A SENSE ON HOW BAD THIS IDEA WAS, NOT
JUST MCCAIN AND GRAHAM WHO HAVE BEEN TOUGH ON TRUMP IN
OTHER CONTEXTS AND SITUATIONS, NOW LET'S GO TO FOX NEWS.
THIS IS ONE OF THEIR MOST CONSERVATIVE SO-CALLED
ANALYSTS, LISTEN TO WHAT HE SAYS ABOUT THE IDEA.
>>THE HAREBRAINED NOTION THAT WE WOULD TEAM UP WITH RUSSIA TO
FORM A CYBER SECURITY UNIT TO PROTECT OUR ELECTIONS, THAT'S
LIKE TEAMING UP WITH THE MAFIA TO FIGHT CRIME.
TELL ME ONE THING.
>>DIDN'T HE WALK THAT BACK?
>>HE HAD TO, HE WALKED IT BACK YESTERDAY BECAUSE THE
REPUBLICANS ON CAPITOL HILL WERE SO OUTRAGED BY SUCH A CRAZY
IDEA.
>>THAT IS COLONEL RALPH PETERS, I DON'T KNOW IF THERE ARE SEVEN
GUYS IN THE COUNTRY MORE CONSERVATIVE THAN HIM.
EVEN HE
IS GOING, WOW, THAT IS REALLY BRAZEN.
TRUMP DID A DEAL WITH
THE RUSSIANS.
THAT MEETING WAS NOT TO HOLD PUTIN ACCOUNTABLE,
IT WAS TO TALK ABOUT HOW THEY COULD DO FURTHER DEALS AND COVER
UP THE LAST ONE.
HOW MUCH MORE OBVIOUS CAN HE MAKE IT FOR YOU?
