it s supposed to work. i hope we do in a way that builds confidence in the american people rather than create more of a lack of confidence like they ve had the last few years. you re a member of the senate intelligence committee, well aware and well briefed on russia s threat to europe. it s increased in aggressive tif activity. we have a president in nato and where you have a french president questioning his reliability, something the president has raised himself in some of his comments. what are the effects of that? the effects are huge. it says a lot that our allies would like nothing more than for donald trump to be a one-term president, but the iranians and the russians would love to have him win one more term. they are advancing their cause and the cause of western democracy has been set back by donald trump. i was as amused as everybody was by what happened yesterday, but the cost of this guy being in the white house is what we really need to be worried about,
could he finance vieilations on getting dirt on joe biden knowing there s no mare that to information in the investigations. so problematic at a couple of levels there. from your reporting you say congressional recrsds show nunes travelled from november 30th to december 30, 2018. three of his aids travelled with him per the records. u.s. government funds paid for the trip which cost just over $63,000. you got this from public records. i don t know that i ve heard devin nunes speak about this directly. it seems like it would be irrelevant to bring up in the proceedings. that said, you re getting information from the lawyer of lev parnasa guy being charged with election offenses. how do we feel about the information you re get flumg lawyer of lev parnas or information that oridgeinates with him? look, people are at their
power. it didn t go anywhere, but here you have a guy being prosecuted for violating iranian sanctions at the same time the secretary of state is out there saying the iran deal was the worst deal ever in history, and they re willing to look the other way to not have them prosecuted for doing the exact same thing that trump is beating up our allies and partners for potentially doing, which is continuing to trade with iran. what message does that send to not only our allies but our adversaries around the world that the president is so focused on his personal agendas and the personal agendas of those around him that he s basically willing to look the other way on something he s been so harsh against, the iran nuclear deal? it s the same message that ukraine sends to partners around the world that deals are for sale. especially if you can make a deal that are of benefit to the personal interests of the president of the united states. admiral kirby, evan perez, thank you, gentlemen, s
here. news week has an article talking about receiving donations from voting machine lobbyists before blocking election security bills. senate bills would burden the two largest voting machine vendors in the united states with new regulations and financial burdens. together the companies makeup 80% of voting machines used in the country, both have far ac lobbying arms in washington, d.c. many lobbies contributed to the mcconnell campaign reported sludge last month. i mean, mitch mcconnell as leader of the united states senate, you would think his first order of business would be to protect his country, but he does seem to be reluck at that particular time reluctant to do anything preventing his guy being in the white house. back in the 70s, remember all of the made for tv movies
and so many other attacks making national news in the past, the go funds me campaign, a guy had his f word on his cake, a waitress in new york says she wrote it puts so many reporters don t look for that verifying evidence, eyewitness video, anything, they make it national news because this is america 2019 or hard evidence of a guy being punched in the face for what he believes in and nothing more. there s crickets all over national news except here. leland: we will see what charges are brought against the alleged attacker that berkeley police put out, a picture of him as well. appreciate your time, good to
