meetings, tillerson and trump are ready to forgive and forget when it comes to cyber attacks on the american election of 2016. arthel: and and that is senator lindsey graham blasting president trump s suggestion of forming a cybersecurity unit with russia. the president saying today he discussed the idea with vladimir putin during their historic meeting on the sidelines of the g20 summit in hamburg, germany. meanwhile, russia s meddling in the u.s. election could be on the agenda when congress returns to work tomorrow from the fourth of july recess. the senate has already passed a sanctions bill against russia by a huge margin, and now it must pass in the house before going to the president s desk. here now to discuss is republican congressman joe wilson of south carolina who sits on the house armed services and foreign affairs committees. very nice to have you here, congressman. arthel, i appreciate your service. arthel: oh, well, you re the one
great to have all of you with me, david fred, ambassador sodderberg, thank you so much, joan, i ll ask you to stick around. you re in detention for a little while longer here on msnbc. up next, we re talking about the republican backlash against trump s voter fraud commission, and this is a big deal because secretaries of state are convening in indianapolis at this hour, and i m going to be joined by kentucky secretary of state allison lundergan grimes how those officials plan to protect voters rights especially now that the president wants to have a cybersecurity unit with russia and a study that shows a gender pay gap and ivanka trump has been silent on that issue while pushing women s empowerment overseas and also walking go into the g20 with $50 million with the world bank. we ll look into that, as well. noo
democrats. pete: but you know the democrats will spin this fairway and say you re not been strong enough if you re working together. if that were major world powers do if they want peace in the world? they work together? he s promoting the substance then we will create a cybersecurity unit, just like the previous two treat with came up 20 minutes ago. they strongly pressed president putin twice about russian meddling. bye birdie give in my opinion. we negotiated the cease-fire parts of syria which will save lives moving forward or to move forward constructively with russia. talked about the ceasefire and talking about an impenetrable cybersecurity unit. abby: if there were collisions with the russians, why would they be talking about this? why would they keep it in focus? would they have every intention to not mention it. dan bongino said this is someone who clearly seems to have nothing to hide here. someone who wants to say yes, let s solve this problem.
not see that coming out of this meeting. he says he did confront him asking him did he do it in connection to meddling in the election. the denials came from president trump seems will top move on and even suggesting in tweets that he wants to work with russia on a cybersecurity unit. which would be great. want you to stick around. ambassador, i ll give you the first word as soon as we come back after this quick break. stay with us. (vo) gentlemen,
it s possible that mitch said that to try to get the conservatives off balance a little bit. because the conservatives and his party are giving them fits. i think he s trying to loosen them up a little bit with that statement. let s take a look at what came it s of the g-20 with russia and all that. the questions surrounding the president s plan to create a cybersecurity unit. u.s. ambassador to the u.n. nikki haley defended the move this morning, saying we have to talk cybersecurity not just with russia but with everyone. you re a former ambassador. do you see this the same way she does? i think frankly that proposal is my yeefl. we can t trust the russians. our intelligence agency tells us russian hacking. putin will do all he can for his own country s interests, for his personal interest. russia s not going to cooperate in any cyber agreement that i think makes any sense for both
