Nice to be with you. President elects trump says hes not buying it but is this credible report that harkers were endplay here. It is credible dut but i dont blame trump by being put off. The implication is so you the election outcome would have been different ab sent russian efforts. Im not sure thats a fair way of leading with this story. You know, or even if it was a very close election. If a few key states. You could argue every tiny influence in the election was arguably enough to tip the balance. There were much bigger forces at work here than what russia tried to do or not. Having said that when hes president of the United States mr. Trump has to worry about whether Foreign Countries are trying to interfere in politics. Shouldnt he also be concerned about maybe the relationship with his cia i mean so they came out with this report and he said no it could be somebody sitting on a couch. We dont know that for sure. Well, road. Because it felt like somebody challenging outcome of election. Thats the way i look at it. In this case i believe the Intelligence Community was correct from what ive seen of evidence the way you portrayed the story matters as you well know in your business they could have said russia tried to interfere and tried to help mr. Trump win and we have no evidence they actually made a difference. You know they could have been a little more emphatic about that so as not too seem they were challenging legitimacy. Im not a fan of mr. Trump i voted against him i can see in this kind of situation why he would feel like the whole spin was almost deliberately negative at his expense. Which you mention hacking there were recounts, wisdom martin over and done with few dozen changed hands there. In the grabbed scheme of things the votes were not really suede much there. You know, we can say in our country where there was less than 1 difference in three states that could is turned outcome and every little thing could have been enough like the straw on the camels back there were so many domestically generated debates and scandal and innuendoes that russian efforts were one on top of many. As american im offended russia would do this and or y ed what they may try do next. As a person that voted democrat i would say this is one of many, many reasons why Hillary Clinton lost and probably nor near one of the most important. Michael it was interesting today. Even though trump says he doesnt snow what happened members of gop say they wanted bipartisan investigation going we heard from Mitch Mcconnell and marco rubio and john mccain and president obama wants an investigation completed by the time he wants office. Is there enough time for that . I dont know. Thats a good question. The answer is probably yes. We heard fairly emphatic discussed today from the Intelligence Community didnt give same interpretation they were not per swawded russia tried help trump win but on other sides of issues theres a fair amount of afwreement. Having this positive put pressure on russia in the future is important. I think this election is over. If russia was trying to make difference in elections we should be vigilant next time. Michael hanlin thanks for joining us. We do plan to hear officials position for secretary of state. And gop strategist mike lane and simone path from Congressional Quarterly roll call weigh in on this one thanks for joining us. Thanks for having us here. Whats your take Rex Tillerson as secretary of state. To learn more about lex. I dont know him and never heard of him. A lot of americans have not heard of him. The only thing we know at this point in time is sken sivr track record of successfully negotiating great complicated big deals with russia and with other countries to the benefit of his interesting. He looks like a big pick but theres clearly more information to learn. Simone he doesnt have a background in formal diplomacy but we heard him talk about making business deals and he ahas experience reaching across International Lines does that substitute for not being a diplomat at some point. For a lot of democrats and republicans it doesnt substitute because theres fear of conflict of interest and deal makings were with rush yaps and all of the news about hacking into our political system its not a great time to have your name floated if ceo of exxon mobile and had close feelings with slad mir putin. Slaibd Vladimir Putin has a thug. If Rex Tillerson is going through do you think well see fight trying to get Rex Tillerson confirmed if hes named secretary of state. Mr. Tillerson should be fully vetted and find out the apps to all the questions the senators have and mr. Tillerson should be forthcoming and the American People should be satisfied hell be out representing Foreign Policy of United States. I think the fact that the guy has experience negotiating huge deals with Vladimir Putin should be a net place. You dont know where it is net minus on his part. Weve heard donald trump say he expressed admiration for Vladimir Putin and we should not be admiring head of russia. To thano donald trump say in various point dont it be good to have russian our on our side with Russia Fighting isis in that regard. Thats so the of what where it came from both sixtdz simone, michael i put that out to either one of you. Let me do it first since brought it up it was barack obama that brought russia into the equation vladimir into the equation which investigating the iran nuclear deal. He didnt want to do this on his own. He wanted his friend Vladimir Putin on which he said we have disagreements but we can find ground on this issue and work together. The only thing we got there was least amount of hedgemoany in the middle east we had 40 years and nuclear deal with iran was concluded on russia and iran terms. I think done done will hopefully do better than that. Simone any take on that. One is to larger point of hypocrisy saying he wanted to drain the swamp. Rex tillerso spent over 40 years entire progressional career at exxon mole and saying it may have lost more than 100 billion thanks to sanctions on russia. His company has investigated interest in particular Foreign Policy to a lot of democrats and republicans spells a dangerous precedent for a secretary of state. One story line that came up last week and again we reported its become official general kelly being tap todd run home land security and this say guy once again we talked about generals and a lot of them in this government and this seems to be an asset in this case. Full disclosure i was a marine and once a marine always a marine. Semper phi. Hes a marines marine hes the best pick we could have found and i believe he will be confirmed despite other things and 40 years ago then lieutenant michael lane was running around quantico his roommate was lieutenant john kelly. Former friend being best secretary of Homeland Security we ever had. You got a little what is that we want to call it. Connection. Connection there . You know everybody knew when going to basic school don kelly would go to marine corps. Mike lane, gop strategist and simone path thanks for coming in we appreciate it. Donald trump picked michigan gop chair woman roma room any mcdaniels. If her name sounds familiar shes niece of mitt romney 2012 2 gop residential nominee. She was up against neighboring airs and a few others and its reported mike pence and steve bannon pushed him to pick airs a outsider. And the kek mother ar aunt ran for senate a number years ago in 1994 shes also room any, different room any same name. But it will be i forgive me blanking on this i cant remember we saw a woman running rnc. It will be interesting and different and theyve about talking about Different Things they want to do gop with inclusion. Out reach. Out treech women and how this may benefit them.
