tell us what to do or control the world. what do you say to that, congressman moulton? seems like maybe democrats thought hillary clinton, maybe the white house thought, hillary clinton may win. we don t want to look we re putting the finger on the scale for her. maybe not going to address this. is this something that should have been addressed considering we ve known for months this was going on and at least earlier it was likely russia? if we didn t have that confirmed? i think what you said is exactly what happened. clearly you know, everybody expected hillary to win. what all pollsters were saying and the democrats didn t want her victory to be tainted by saying that president obama pushed the elections one way or the other. so i think that, you know, president obama did what he tried to make a right decision at the time. which is make sure that our country did not think that there were outside influencers on our election or inside influencers. doing the right thing. now, loo
we have an incoming president? it s a violation of the principle of freedom of nar navigation over the sea ps what we fought the first war over. this violates the fact we made that a staple who we are in terms of international trade and the freedom to navigate and in terms of military. i think this needs to be pushed back against hard. it s not necessarily an act of war, but china s attempt to try to, again, reassert itself, which it s been doing over the last couple decades and especially the last few years and i m excited about incoming president-elect trump s ability to push back on encroachment on the south china sea and sanctions and things like that. an exciting few years. clearly, congressman moulton, not bobbing along, they feel monitoring purposes for this? look, i think there s
adjustment in donald trump and the way he tweets and how it can affect national security? i think i am. the reason is because, when the weight of the presidency comes on top of your shoulders things change. you ve seen from him saying initially he s not even going to divert himself of his business no 230u n no now putting out ways to divest, the transition process, you have him coming to conclusions some things have to be done differently. i support the president-elect in every way i can and oppose in areas i must, and hopefully when sworn in, twitter can be used effectively, he has a lot of followers, but i think leaving the emotional tweets out of it may about good step in the right direction. congressman moulton what do you think about this new secretary of the army designate vincent viola? you re a veteran, as is congressman kinzinger. what can you tell us? you know, i don t know him. but he s a veteran as well. he went to west point.
great thing. i mean, you know, look. we ve got people again, the case of general mattis, out of the military three years. the good thing about military people like seth and i in congress, for instance is we know where the, lack of a better term, the skeletons are buried in the pentagon. where there s inefficiencies and things that need fixed. general mattis will do a great job of that. bringing in military experience i think will be good and with the new army secretary. i don t know a lot about him but actually do know somebody who worked with him before and knows him well, said probably among the best pick he could have possibly made. may be worth a lot of money showing he s successful and i think he ll do a great job for the army. gentlemen, thank you. congressman kinzinger and congressman moulton, thank you for being on to have a bipartisan discussion. appreciate it. you bet. thanks. have a great day. just ahead, what happened to one electoral choond said he
