advising him to do or not do these things. he can ignore his advisers but that wasn't us. >> he is purposely conflating two different things. when donald trump says united states has to cooperate with russia on some things, he's right. in afghanistan, for instance. if there's ever going to be a peace process in afghanistan, russia has influence with the taliban. russia has influence in syria. we'll never have a peace deal in syria that's going to end that horrible war unless russia is at the table. trump is right about that. what he's deflecting is why he has not come up with a strategy to protect the united states from this form of hacking. and those are two completely separate issues. the fundamental deficiency is why he hasn't brought all the stakeholders together and say what are we going to do to make sure we never have an election interference like this again? >> hang on a second. i think there's a new tweet. is that what you were saying in my ear? here we go. they can help solve problems
