absolutely prechous. you don t even need to look at third party sources to prove this. you could look at trump s own words. about a year ago he sat in a press conference and asked russia for their assistance. he said if you have hillary clinton s e-mails, release them. his son released his own e-mails showing that they were already locked in a relationship with russia offering information. russia state media, all your long and actually notably back in 2014, 2015 just absolutely sucked up to trump and created this elaborate propaganda praising him. there s been this on going proof all over the place showing that, you know, russia wanted trump to win. and it s is not hard to figure out why. on one hand you have hillary clinton who is going to keep the sanctions, who is going to be, you know, very tough and keep nato and going to investigate russian corruption and on the other hand you have an orange this is as malcome said putin is
very pragmatic and this is a very easy decision in terms of which candidate to back. do you think at this point putin is disappointed in his pick? no, i don t think so he s disappointed at all. i often joke that the trump administration aseems to mirror kremlin strategy almost all the time. i once said that there s a kremlin political warfare management team somewhere in the oval office giving them hints. what he said with that tweet was exactly what the russians do. he construct reality. they create a level of doubt to where now from this point onward donald trump will say look, i already said and it has been proven that i didn t cooperate with the russians because of my tweet the other day. right. and who are you going to belief, me or your lying videotape? so i think putin is enjoying this ride and they will get their ultimate goal, which is sanctions lifted. yeah. and this particularly that s the
texas, one in north carolina fixated on transgender people and bathrooms. is transgender the new guy marriage in red states? yes. yeah. that s been my theory on that since it because just like with the transgender military ban when it was the bathroom thing, it was like when did this become a thing? right. it s like they literally justin vented a controversy or a problem out of thin air. and i mean, you know, it does work as far as making headlines and rallying them around their flag and that way. so i mean, yes, and absolutely because they finally admitted defeat with the guy marriage thing. and it s like well, what do we do now? what s left? oh, yeah. okay, that will work. transgender people. curt, when you talk about headlines, it s about generating headlines on breitbart and in sort of the state-run media that supports donald trump. is this the kind of thing effective at rerallying that alt right, you know, version of donald trump s base? i think there s some degree
dossier and in other words russia was against trump in the 2016 election. and not that? i want a strong military and low oil prices. just for the viewers, he was referring, the testimony of a guy named bill browder who p went before the senate judiciary committee on thursday and he s an american businessman who represented magnitsky. kicked browder out of the country skpr be what do you make of donald trump he s going to sign it because they fixed the bill, and a, russia really wasn t on his side? well, first in regards to the bill, i agree with malmom. i d like to actually see him sign this bill because he said he ll do many things, he ll release his tax returns. he hasn t actually done those things and so i m not a 100% confident he s actually going to sign this bill. in regard to the tweet, his allegation that russia did not want him to win is just
thanks allful you. i m going to you first actually on this. that strategy in 2004 was very effective of using guy marriage and people s discomfort to win laeks. do you think that s what donald trump was doing here? yes, if his goal is to distract from some very real problems emanating from his west wing. but it seems to come from completely out of the blue. i remember getting the news alert that he had done this via twitter and gasping at the notion that the president of the united states announced a major policy change in three separate tweets. and not only banning transgender americans from service in the military, those who would want to join, but also making it clear that those who were
