when various networks go on the air and newspapers saying trump is an agent of the kremlin, a puppet of the crekremlin. imagine john kennedy in 1962 trying to negotiate our way out of a nuclear crisis with khrushchev. and each day kennedy had been called the puppet of the kremlin. the only way he could prove he wasn't would be to go to nuclear war. we don't want a situation like that. until they from dues facts, i don't think we should be discussing it. to me it's bunk. >> the issue is not trump, it's putin. >> it's not coming out of nowhere -- people aren't going on the air and sticking their finger in the wind and saying we think he's an agent of putin. they're relying on intelligence assessments -- >> oh, please. let's talk about intelligence.
