administration. we talked about this in the last hour and i want to get your take on it. you can tell putin knows his audience by saying that? why should putin say anything other than what he s saying our own president says we don t know who it is. we do know who it is. i ve spoken to the specialists who say it s russia, it s clear russia wanted us to know it was russia. so it wasn t a 3-year-old? it wasn t a 3-year-old, wasn t a 5-year-old. the fact that you have that mirror thing, this idea you have two world leaders mirroring each other and saying this, defying what american intelligence agencies are saying makes you feel like, what is there martin o malley is saying there s clearly some kind of criminal collusion. i was surprised to hear him say it so outright. it adds to the suspicion, why are you using mirroring language. it s bizarre. let s talk about the lawmakers here and how they re reacting to all this, especially considering comey s testimony on
undermine and discourage voters to go to the polls or to really take a shot at democracy. it happened here. do you think russia is more of a threat than isis? he said that specifically. isis is a violent killing machine. russia is a settle but very effective machine at undermining democracy. you think they can be compared? i wouldn t compare it to isis, but i think russia is undermining democracy is a horrible criminal act as well. james comey going to testify on thursday. what do you want to hear? the truth. the truth. it s very simple. comey will testify according to what he s told us. he s got some notes he took, some of which may be admissible in court, and we re looking forward to hearing his testimony. you know, we ve been hearing we ve been talking over the last couple hours as to whether president trump is going to invoke his executive privilege here and basically block comey from testifying.
thursday. comey is a widely they respect him and they trust him on both sides of the aisle, and i think in this arena where you have people say, well, well, maybe, we don t know. someone is going to come in at the top law enforcement agency, top agent is going to say here is what happened. i think it s going to be a really straightforward testimony, and i think it will change the story in a very big way. let s talk about the possibility that president trump could feasibly stop comey and invoke executive privilege. one of your colleagues saying that president trump wants comey to testify because he did nothing wrong. he wants people to hear exactly what comey has to say. jeremy peters, another one of your colleagues, in the last hour he said he s more interested in hearing trump s reaction throughout comey s testimony on thursday which i m sure we will be seeing on twitter non-stop. give me your take. my take is i want to see it all. i want to see it all. the best take i ve he
non-existent, wrong. i had to inject money into it. this is the dnc? the dnc to keep it going. how do you respond to that, that she inherited nothing from the democratic party, she had to build from the ground up? ooh. you know, i think a lot of us are disappointed we weren t able to spare our country on this detour through donald trump s presiden presidency. chief among them are hillary clinton. many of us thank her for her service and appreciate she gave it her very best. what about taking some personal responsibility as well? do you think secretary clinton needs to take more personal responsibility for her loss? she s talking about russian interference in the hacking and talking about the e-mail revelation that came out, with comey involved in that as well. you think she needs to take personal responsibility here or do you think she has a point? i think all of us need to
mocked the science. does the president believe today that climate change is a hoax? yes or no. does the president believe climate change is real? what does the president actually believe about climate change? does he still believe it s a hoax? reporter: neither pruitt or spicer had any answer. i have not had an opportunity to have that discussion. reporter: back to the issue of executive privilege. this would be something that because there are two separate branches of government with congress and the executive branch, that the white house would have to assert this claim and make a case that comey s conversations with the president need to be protected? a real complication to that is that the president in interviews and on twitter has talked about his conversations with comey, and comey has already testified on a number of matters relating to his work as fbi director. that could make this a very tough sell. that s just the legal part of it. politically it could be very dama
