Repeat some of president putins talking points on russia, which you have publicly criticized. do you believe that the trump administrations handling of putin emboldened him? >> well, i think it goes way back. remember when putin came in, in 2000, he said, listen, this is my agenda, restore russia to national greatness. he got particularly active in 2007, massive cyberattacks against estonia, invaded georgia, 2008, during the olympics, and then sustained campaign of political subversion against n...

Jim. >> i am jim akos it and this is democracy in peril. and all week, we have been shining light on whats being done overtly and covertly to un undermine our democracy since the birth of the big lie with the crucial midterm elections fast approaching, there is great concern not only about voter suppression but wheels being put into motion to clear a path for the potential subversion of a future election. we ignore the threats at our own peril. so tonight, we have someone who can take us inside ...

Guarantee and this is why we have the rules and that new mexico we had well over 100,000 votes cast for the presidential victor. and yet, we had these submissions that were an alternative process. but the -- the subversion of the will of the people, which is just an accounting, really could threaten our democracy. and so, its very important. now, we are looking at penalties both in state and federal statutes and, you know, they are not very clear. i think that congress will at least learn from t...

Passing voting right the legislation, theyre trying to use the electoral count act as a substitute. if you can explain, you know, electoral count act is nice but is in your view that enough to protect our elections? >> it is insufficient to solve the challenges of voter suppression and election subversion. it solves one piece of the puzzle but youre basically saying that the house is going -- were going to have a flood that wipes out all the houses but will save the last one. the problem is the ...

Its the latter much more than natos endless expansion, as putin describes, because theres no such thing as endless expansion by nato. the last country anywhere near russia thatjoined nato was back in 2004, when the baltic states, romania, bulgariajoined 2004, when the baltic states, romania, bulgaria joined nato. thats almost two decades ago, and theres been no material threat to russian security during that time. but i do think it is ukraine who is still at the centre of putins nightmares. he d...

Going up, and warning time is going down. >> reporter: do you think there is a chance that russia will invade? >> there is a real danger. and we are prepared for many different scenarios. everything from full-fledged invasion, to smaller scale and military action, aggression against ukraine. to subversion and cyber attacks. but the thing is to be prepared. but as we prepare for the worst, we work strongly for a political peaceful solution. and its good for russia to de-escalate. >> reporter: how...

China. and they were using venezuelans company software that was used to steal elections and other countries. i dont think people have an idea of the dimension of the national security problem this dominion creates -- this dominion company is a radical left company, one of the people there is a big supporter of antifa. >> just be clear, thats orderly false. essentially invented. its so false that giuliani got sued by dominion for defamation. but the voting machines, the idea that inside the blac...

Pass legislation to try and protect the right to vote. and they are seeing the ongoing attempts in their states, like my state here in texas, to undermine the right to vote. and so, they are very worried. but, you know, i -- i -- again, come back to this concept that we have to keep fighting for this but we have to organize here and not agonize. we have to do everything we can to understand if they are working this hard to try and make it hard for americans to vote, why -- why are they trying to...

For americans to vote, why are they trying to do that? its because your vote is so powerful. and i really believe that together we can overcome some of these barriers that have been put in place. now, the other issue, of course, i think you were concerned with is election subversion, which means no matter what we do to get out to vote, they may change the vote afterwards. in that case i do think there is some good news around senate negotiations on the electoral count act, and i think we will be...

Reconn reconnaissance, radio intercepts, all kinds of social media reporting. so then this leaves the problem for these russian mihm tear planners how do they get any element of surprise? the way they do it is disguising the direction of the attack, the exact time of the attack, the nature of the attack, and sending a false message out so you have ambassadors speaking one place or another, oh, no, we wouldnt do anything like this. no, the troops are pulling back. and so this is all to be expecte...
