Doveryai, no proveryai. trust but verify. >> you repeat that at every meeting. i like it. >> the improbability of either of them, reagan, the cold war hawk, gorbachev, the party guy, doing this kind of thing is unheard of, and they did it. >> reagan had been at a low in 1987 with iran-contra, and many americans didnt like him. they didnt trust him. the negotiations with the soviet union in many ways saved his presidency. >> mr. gorbachev may not have seen much of america, but he certainly made s...

Tied? >> well, no. there are things that we can do and the citizens can do. first of all, were going to be watching him like a hawk. second of all, were going to be continuing our litigation in the federal courts. every time epa tries to repeal one of the protections for americans health, well be in court fighting to prevent that from happening because, you know, they have been trying to eviscerate protections but doing is in a very sloppy ham-handed way. and third, we will be continuing to file...

Elections. >> there should be no doubt that russia perceived its past efforts as successful and views the 2018 u.s. midterm elections as a potential target for russian influence operations. we need to inform the american public that this is real and we need to stand up and say we wont tell some russian tell us how to run our country and there needs to be a national cry for that. >> and trumps department of homeland security hasnt released the names of the individual states. 18 and 21 that voters...

And whoever that guy is, he should stop impersonating john bolton because for decades john bolton has been an absolute hawk. he has mocked no end any president, particularly liberal democrats, who have taken these people at their word, who have said, well, we just have misunderstandings, we just have to sit down and talk. presidents who have not defended human rights, presidents who aggressively aided other countries, president whose country is involved in war crimes in syria, john bolton used t...

Great phrase, which is, "java ja is better than war war." if you are talking to him better than worrying. you have a sophisticated audience, i think they understand whats at stake. a fair-minded person can say, putin is a dangerous guy. a former kgb officer, very smart, he knows how to get to trump if he wants to get to trump. now president trump, i dont know how much prep hes done for this but i will say this. when john bolton behind him, noy is going to take advantage of donald trump. i dont c...

Stit stit constituencies. he has his own domestic problems. he is in a tough bind. >> michael, that dynamic, the republicans have in congress, the majority in the house and majority in the senate. how many issues were there where we said this is the one that trump has said something that is going to irk the base. and then he wins every congressional district in the state. so proving that thinking wrong over and over again, but is it different on trade? >> it is different. a couple of things, may...

Diplomats, but the idea that russia did not meddle in our election is fake news. they did meddle in our election and theyre doing it again in 2018. >> please nobody tell people on other networks that. im surprised more republicans havent spoken like that. >> yeah. and you can be supportive of the president, a team player on the republican side and still be honest and forthright and critical of donald trump when he deserves to be criticized. if youre a russia hawk, theres a lot to be happy with t...

>> he was the hawk who was always pointing out the fallacy of president to negotiate with the kim family. >> by the way, and talked about actually bombing north korea and bombing iran. were a long way from that. >> well, that was then. this is now. >> uh-huh. >> i thought that that little passage you showed of bolton yesterday was one of the most squirm-worthy i have watched in the sense that every time he was pressed on what is our policy about russian continued holding of crimea, for example, ...

Very hawkish. would these new nuclear revelations embolden somebody like bolton and his camp for a push to war? >> you know, we have a white house with a guy in charge, supposedly in charge, doesnt know what hes talking about, right? he puts out tweets, puts out headlines, he says he almost believes putin when putin says hes not meddling, says theres no nuclear threat and put out people like bolton saying wait a second, heres the real policy, heres what we really think. theres always this gigant...

This is still my identity, this is why you elected me. this is why ive been saying, this is a good issue for republicans this fall. as poorly as that polls. but thats what his instinct is saying. he doesnt have advisers around him to steer him otherwise. this is still who he is. he gets, its a rare reversal for this president to back down on anything, particularly with immigration. we saw it this week, not for a moral reason, but because the pr was so bad. the optics were so overwhelming, he had...
