Cases of maybe voter fraud in 1 billion ballots. that is a 14-year study. if this is not a widespread thing, if nobodys ever found widespread instances of voter fraud, what is the purpose of this commission? >> let me say that the pew foundation found that we have corrupted voter registration files, which means that we have folks who either registered to vote in two states, or we have folks who are still registered to vote who happen to be dead, and you create vulnerabilities for the integrity o...

Government that controls the process. while that is a blessing, it can also be a curse when were at odds. in ohio, we have 88 county boards of elections, two democrats, two republicans, and they get the job done. nationally we have to have that sort of bipartisan cooperation. ive been on boards and commissions for steny and bill garner, and they are of the democratic party, and weve gotten things done because we knew that working cooperatively together is the way that we get things done. we can ...

Without a strong lead, putin will view that as a weakness and say okay, theyre good with all the stuff ive done the past couple of years. >> how do you see vladamir putin walking into this meeting, knowing the domestic pressure that donald trump faces, do you think vladamir putin will try to use that to his advantage? >> sure. putin will use everything to his advantage. much is made of the fact that hes a former intelligence officer, and thats helpful in identifying motivations and vulnerabiliti...

Russia. and trump has the things he wants to get out of this meeting. putin has the things he wants to get out of the meeting. what is putin going to try to do in the room, in that eye to eye situation with the american president? >> if we were doing this from my side, we would write a profile on the vulnerabilities. im talking about having psychiatrists look at video about how someone speaks. >> what vulnerabilities would they have? >> one is when you speak in public about him, praise him. dont...

Make this into one, a racial thing and two make it into a dictating type thing from the federal government. if you noy the law, the law makes it abundantly clear, the states are the one that is decide. you can look at the recommendations and that may come down from the commission and you can choose to throw them in the gulf or to douse them in bushen and set them on fire, to quote the two ags. the ning is we know there are vulnerabilities to system weve been obsessed about vulnerabilities when i...

Together at the federal level in a way that i think a lot of conservatives should be skeptical of. >> phil, does any of this effort address the real vulnerabilities that russia tried to exploit in the 2016 presidential election? >> i dont think it does. i mean, if you are the president of the united states, your first comment coming into office would be to your national security advisor saying pull the team together and determine how we can protect, for example, voter roles from being hacked, no...

Or hackers in order to sow chaos overseas or even potentially back here at home? >> it is highly disturbing the last two global massive hack attacks have been linked to nsa malware, that our government designed, and now those hacking tools are out in the public domain. i have introduced bipartisan legislation called the patch act with both members of congress an senators to bring transparency to the process and how the nsa decides to right and hoard malware versus telling companies and manufactu...

To step up and help the world deal with this? >> i dont think we were wrong to make the weapons because i think the weapons can still be used for good and not just bad. but if you make the weapons, you clearly have at least two responsibilities. one, keep those weapons secure. and regrettably the nsa fell down on that part. second, you at least have the responsibility once they get out to make sure you are doing everything times a hundred to prevent them from being effective tools for the bad gu...

Intelligence agencies collect information and do it o co. vertly and sometimes risking their lives to collect that information. this offers an ininciting into trump himself as the person, which is very unusual as far as world leader. >> so your problem not that hes tweeting about being in florida or new jersey or at the white house. most days hes been relitigating the russia case. he has gone after his perez assess or in office. what are examples of what hes saying is saving our opponents and en...

Saying is saving our opponents and enemies work? >> it exposes his priorities and tells us what news programs hes watching and what hes reading. whats top of mind at any given hour of in addition, it tells us what his vulnerabilities are when hes concerned about a russian investigation, that gives him a sense of what could they use to influence the president, cause disruption, and possibly win favor with him? his deleted tweets also give a little bit of insight into how infiltered his tweets are...
