the new york times reporting, they re referencing the 2017 g20 meeting in hamburg where putin and trump met. all right? and as reported, trump confiscated the interpreter s notes, and then they write, the day after the two meetings as mr. trump was on air force one, taking off from germany heading back to washington, he telephoned a times reporter and argued that the russians were falsely accused of election interference. while he insisted most of the conversation be off the record, he later repeated a few things in public in little-noticed asides. have you heard a u.s. president argue a point like that on behalf of a foreign adversary before? no, of course not, and this is part of a pattern with trump of seeming to represent russian interests rather than american interests. i mean there is so much which has actually come out in the last few days on that hamburg meeting, including the fact there were these private discussions between trump and putin, and afterwards trump came out
is some okay. so people always credit us because we re just quite honest with each other. but do you think there is some naivete in that, that people would actually do that, that people actually do that in situations that aren t necessarily that dramatic in their everyday lives when it comes to their interactions with people who don t look like them? regardless your take on the social reality, whether people step up as the good samaritan or whether you believe in the kitty jen veasey model where people stay away when horrible things are happening because of self-preservation, it doesn t matter to me. it s about what is the right thing to do in a situation. that s what i do in protection of those who i love. you need to start use something gillette razors. that s exactly right. i have to use a whole bag of them as have been suggested to me, which is weird when i have absolutely no beard. the point is you ve got to do the right thing in the moment, and this is easy. the presiden
outside in this press conference. and they did. and they did. we re at an impasse right now that s not going to be changed unless the dialogue is changed. i think only the president can do that, right? and i m appealing to the president right now. go big. here s how he can change it because pelosi is not going to give a dime. she s already said nothing for the wall, which is completely a contradiction to what the democrats did just 11 months ago. but aside from that, they re not going to budge. the president has to at this point say, let s get to the table. let s put daca on the table. let s talk about the entire immigration system, and let s get to work. okay. didn t that happen already? no, no, no. not in a serious way. he hasn t said it. it happened last year. yeah, yeah, exactly. when you talk about 11 months ago, but that all happened. that happened, ron. he said, we re at a give point now. then there was another deal after that. and then he said he said no
this requires hundreds of people working on the logistics and the security of it. most of those people are either furloughed or victims of the president s shutdown. but that isn t the point is. the point is security. this is a housekeeping matter in the congress of the united states so that we can honor the responsibility of the invitation we extended to the president. he can make it from the oval office if he wants. honestly, just think about it. what does he say? the state of our union is shut down? what do you say in the state of the union? it is. it s shut down. the fact is even though nancy pelosi framed this as a request to the president, it s really not a request to the president. here s the way this works, all right? the house and the senate both have to pass resolutions to green light the state of the union. nancy pelosi controls whether the house passes one. she holds all the cards here.
adoptions. and he admitted he talked about quote, unquote, apgs do s with putin himself, which suggests they might have cooked up this story together. there was a video clip that came out online today showing trump at this dinner table with putin making this power signal at putin. this whole thing is just crazy and it adds to this mountain of evidence that putin has some kind of hold over donald trump. this is not on the level. i want to read a bit more of the reporting, susan, and i want you to respond. it s a guy you know well. here s what he said. he said that he raised the election hacking three times and that mr. putin denied involvement. but he said mr. putin also told him that if we did, we wouldn t have gotten caught because we re professionals, mr. putin said. i thought that was a good point because they are some of the best in the world at hacking. okay. so we know president trump repeated this talking point within the white house and at the time this is according to
