time for a sober reflection in american history and there is no expert or general going to tell you. judge jeanine: dana, one of the things that will said they can down planes and shut down hospitals it can have enormous impact on us. russia is home to some of the most famous hackers in the world. how do we how do we put ourselves in a situation where we can dana: let me try to give some positive news on this front. yes, they have nefarious hackers, notorious ones as well. we have very good hacking capability. and we just don t do the kind of things that they do, but we can push back. we can preemptively do that i understand the president was given some options today to consider something like that. that s something the united states usually does. there might be things going on behind the scenes that we don t know. i saw today that one of the kremlin s abilities to communicate within the kremlin, it was down, i wonder why? so i don t think we are not powerless here. now, what
the response on the russians the obama administration issued a diplomatic response and economic sanctions response. there may have been covert responses at play t. dministration may or may not. obama dministration may or may fought speak about those, president trump administration may or may not speak object that, at least until after the fact. i think it s important to have overt measures in place. you want other countries and non-state actors to see there is punishment. so you want the response to be public because the russians aren t the only once to have hacking capability for systems of candidates and election systems. they might have a lot of focus on this issue. they re not the only ones that can do it. what is good for the goose is good for the gander. president trump it appears says he does believe there was russian meddleing, to move from one category to the other if a matter of a day without much major announcement to that is
this is a thing. we are americans at end of the day. the threat from russia on election, in crimea, in syria, regarding hacking capability, buzzing u.s. aircraft and warships across the world, this is not something that one party says is happening, this is happening. so question is how does the next president of the united states address this threat? and i talked to a lot of folks on both sides, both parties in the agencies who are dismayed at this reaction. bob give you last word. spoke about this earlier in the show. is there a risk that at some point the intelligence community starts tailoring the intelligence they present to donald trump to not draw his ire? if so, how dangerous? they will rewrite intelligence at top but at the
political partnersh political. it s not democrats coming out and saying donald trump is beyond the pale here. it s the republican speaker of the house, the republican senate majority leader, tom cotton, lindsey graham, john mccain. this is a thing. we are americans at the end of the day. this threat from russia, not just on election, but in crimea, in syria, regarding, you know, their hacking capability, buzzing u.s. aircraft and warships across the world, this is not something that one party says it happening. this is happening. so the question is, how does the next president of the united states address this threat? and i talked to a lot of folks on both sides, both parties, certainly in the agencies who are dismayed at this reaction. nkts i wa jen spoke about this earlier. is there a risk that at some
nothing and they have nuclear weapons. now they have a hacking capability and a spying capability that they are willing to deploy for a country run bay former kgb agent that is dr dangerous to the united states and now a president-elect wants to diffuse that in a different way. i am told that early on in the fall election cycle, maybe as early as the beginning of september, there was, as a lot of issues, split within the administration. some urging barack obama to come out against russia and pointing out what they felt russia was doing but the president of the united states thought it was a thumb on the election scale and chose not to do it because at that point in time everybody thought including barack obama thought hillary clinton was going to win in a walk. but saying cut it out, you know, that doesn t seem to me to be enough for the leader of the free world to curtail vladimir putin from interfering with our election. cyberwar. it doesn t matter what the
