We tver electorahe democrats f look how well Bernie Sanders did with key parts. Latino voters, 51 , well ahead of everybody else. And young people for Bernie Sanders coalition. Very well again. Let me also show you labor Union Households where he also won despite back and forth controversy during the campaign. All of this is going to bolster sanders argument he can put together a Diverse Coalition going forward. Brennan Anthony Salvanto breaking down the details. Well hear from anthony later in the broadcast as well. As nevada caucuses were going on we spoke with joe biden. He said he was confident in South Carolina and beyond. The latest background polling shows your lead with black voters is thinning out. In november you were 54 . Its now 35 . Thats a 19 point difference. Whats happening . Whats happening is you have steyer spending millions of dollars out campaigning there. So i think a lot is happening in terms of the amount of money being spent by the billionaires to cut into the africanamerican vote. That has a lot to do with if. South carolina was your firewall. You said it. Youre Campaign Said it. I said ill do well there. What does do well mean for you . You guys can do all the pontificateing. Thats not my job. My job is to make the best case i can. I think well do well. And go on to super tuesday and do well. Your campaign is second place. And a sigh of relief to be in South Carolina. Im not a pundit. Im a candidate, and im going all the way through this thing. You mentioned steyer, and the amount of money hes spending in South Carolina. A lot of money. Itrmming away at your support. I assume thats part of the reason. I dont know. What do you think of that . Well see. You guys love this stuff. Im not into this. Lets see what happens. Youre watching this. Im not watching it. I run it for the same reason i started. To restore dignity to the office and make sure africanamericans and minorities get treated well, and rebuild the middle class. And to unify the country and the party felt nothing changed why im running. Im going to continue that. Why does joe biden want to be president . Whats the key thing driving you to achieve . We have to restore the integrity of this country internationally. We have to get off the effort on the president s part to divide the country. We have to bring the middle class back. We have to have a Health Care Policy which makes sense which i can do by building on obama care. And we have to have an immigration policy thats rational and represents who we are. Those are the reasons im running among others. The next president of the United States is going to have to stand on the stage day one and lead the world. Theyre going to be have be able to know what theyre doing internationally, and know who the person is, and know the person knows them. Im the best qualified person by a long shot to do that. Bernie sanders can you stop him in terms of the momentum he has . The Bloomberg Campaign is out saying for moderate the like yourself, hes going to end up with an insurmountable delegate lead. Im not going to play this game wu. I dont know. Its not whether i stop him. Its why im running. Im telling people why i should be the next president and the best guy to beat thump. Im want person most likely to beat trump. Im not person that in fact in those polls. In addition to that, im the only one in terms of the russians and all the stuff youre reporting the russians dont want me to be a nominee. Spent a lot of money on bots on facebook. No one is helping me. Who informed you . Has facebook or u. S. Intelligence officials told you . I havent spoken to intelligence. I k the Intelligence Community should inform the rest of us running what they told senator sanders. Theres no date for that to happen . Not that im aware of. But youre asking for it . They should. You talked about facebook and them alerting you. I was told that there are a lot of bots on facebook, and theyve been taken down. So fake accounts, and theyre taken down. I didnt get a call from facebook. I was told by my staff. I know youve been critical of senator sanders for not being Strong Enough in condemnation of the vitriolic sentiment on line. And senator sanders came out with a statement that perhaps some of this may be fueled by the russians. In other words, theyre not actually his supporters. Do you buy that . Look, the people who occupy my office, maybe they were russians. But they said they were bernie supporters. The people who occupy my office and did terrible things to the culinary workers and the women who run that operation, i guess anything is possible, but theyre identified as bernie supporters. Im not making a comment yaubd that. There should be condemnation of the conduct of these folks engaging in that major and the misogynistic behavior against the culinary workers, and people coming into my office in the first two primaries and have to call the police to get them out. Theres trumplike stuff. This is not stuff to be done in democratic primaries before. When he says the ugly stuff may be because of the russians, sounds like youre saying no. I dont know. All of us would like to know a little more whats happening, but u. S. Intelligence hasnt made this public yet. The white house isnt shedding much light. The bottom line seems to be right now the president is angry bausz the Intelligence Committee, in fact, informed Bernie Sanders, and i guess others, and members of the Intelligence Community that, in fact, the russians want to see trump reelected and they like bernie. We spoke to the Vice President who denied the preference is for trump. You know in 2016 it was all i know no one confideed in me. I have no inside information. Doesnt all of this shake the confidence of the American People to a certain extebt in terms of the integrity of the election itself . This is at the heart of democracy. Ive been saying this over three years. The president denies theyre involved. Theyre been involved. I was deeply involved in the intelligence apparatus before i left the Vice President. The president continues to deny their involvement. The fact is everybody knows. When the president stands before the whole world and looks at Vladimir Putin and say why would he want to interfere in the election . The intelligence agents told me. This is bizarre. This is bizarre. This is continuing. Why in gods name havent we hardened the process, and provideed hundreds of millions of dollars to make sure they cant be attacked by cyber security. Why havent we provideed the capacity for them to be able to have the money to have paper ballots in addition. This is outrageous, and its going on. Look, i joined with the leaders of europe when the european elections took place back before i got involved, and decided to run, and we set up an organization that, in fact, said every european leader running in either party would take a pledge, that if you have negative information about 99 someone else from a foreign source you would not use it. If you got information, you would report it. I took that pledge. Have you asked colleagues to do that . I said that on stage. I think we should all take that pledge. You were in office, obviously when all of this interference was first detected . Yes. Since that time a Senate Intelligence committee faulted the Obama Administration for its response and said the actions taken undermine Public Confidence in the election, and allowed for further russian interference. Do you agree with these findings . Not at all. Not at all. We went out and went to the committee, went to the Republican Leadership and said look, this is what we have. The Intelligence Community did. This is what we have. Join us in condemning whats happening. And the republican leader in the senate said i want no part of it. And everything subsequent to that reinforceed what we were saying. Should the president have come along and said this is happening, and then accused of we were someone we alone were doing something. But in hindsight, you know where the story ends up. Do you think there are lessons for the administration to learn . Its not that theyre incapable. They like this. Come on. Be fair here. Theyve known this for a long time, for three years. Every intelligence agent has told them they continue to be engaged. Every intelligence agent told me they were engaged before. Theres not a question anymore. Theres never been a question forward the last three years. Whootion he doing . Zero. What is the senate and congress doing . Zero.

Wouldnt they rather have bernie . Wouldnt they rather have bernie who honeymooned in moscow. Brennan thats the president at a friday raty claiming reports of russian interfering in his favor was democratic disinformation. When we were in las vegas saturday, i spoke with the White House National security advisor Robert Obrien. I asked him if he assured the president that this particular u. S. Intelligence finding was real. He strongly disputed it. I havent seen the finding. I think what hes referring to, and what folks are talking about is a briefing that took place at the white house Intelligence Committee that was leaked to the press, and i have not seen that report. I get this second hand. But from republican congressmen that were on the committee there was no intelligence behind it. I havent seen intelligence to support the report leaked. Brennan but the white house awe briefed, were you not in the briefing when the president was informed . Well, theres no briefing that ive received, that the president has received that says president putin is doing anything to try and influence the elections in favor of President Trump. We havent seen the intelligence. Im surprised i havent seen it. Again, i dont know where this is coming from. Ive heard the rumors and leaks from adam schiffs committee. I havent seen them. Brennan to clarify, are you saying that mr. Mcguire, the former acting director of tional intelligence did object inform you about the u. S. Intelligence communitys findings . I think again, i dont want to get into private conversations in a president ialidatey brief, but i dont think mcguire was necessarily informed what was going to happen at the hearing in the house. Theres nothing hes given, and no information admiral mcguire gave us or the new acting dni that comports with what was leaked out of the house intel committee. I havent seen it, the leaders of the Intelligence Committee ive spoken with havent seen anything that comports with it. I dont know if thats what the briefers say brennan the director of National Intelligence mcguire did brtified that russia continues to try and influence the elections mainly through social media manipulation. So this the pattern of behavior continues. Werd from the fbi happening . Is that russia would like Bernie Sanders to win the democrat nomition that, and probably like him to be president , understandably, because he wants to spend money on social programs and take it out of the military. That would make sense. Look, the russians have always tried to interfere with elections. They want to undermine our democracy. But the idea they want toness nr the elections somehow to cause the president to win, i dont see it. I i think a number of country, china, north korea, iran would like to influence our elections to get the candidate they feel is best for their country. Brennan so youre saying its not, in fact, the u. S. Intelligence communitys assessment that russia has a preference for President Trump . I havent seen that, and again, why would they have a prchs for trump who isiving ukranians lethal aid to fight russian troops. We want good relations with rush a. Wed like to have great relations. I havent seen intelligence theres active measures by the russians to get the president reelected. And we have a message for any country that melgtsdss with the elections. Stay out of our democratic elections. Were doing everything we can. Were working with state and local officials and many cases going to paper ballots to make sure that governments with ill intent cant hack websites and cant get involved and change results. Were going to work on Election Security very hard in the federal government and also with the state and local partners. Brennan why not have the Intelligence Community testify in public about what they are seeing, so that the public can arm themselves so that they can understand what is disinformation and what is fact . Why not declassify some of it . I have no problem with that. Thats not my decision, and the Intelligence Community is concerned about sources and methods. I understand that. But i personally have no problem brian back in october of 2016 when russia was doing the Disinformation Campaign of the Obama Administration, they did declassify information at that time. Theres a precedent. Why doesnt the Trump Administration do that . I think we can declassify, and thats all the better. Again, we werent in office in 2016 when the last election meddling took place, and the administration did very little about it. Everyone admits that very little was done about it. Were in office now, and were doing everything we can across the interagency and with state and federal and local partners to ensure that american ballots are secure, and our ballot machines are secure, the tabulations are secure. The secretary of state web sites are security. We want a free and Fair Election that americans select the president , not a foreign country. And the president is deadly serious brennan i want to ask you about afghanistan. If the taliban does not make good to pull back on violence and sign the deal at the end of the month is the president s position to stop the troop withdrawal . The president made is clear the last time we were close to signing a deal with the taliban and they engaged in activity, and an ied killed an american, and the president pulled back from signing. Were hopeful to get to a place where the afghans can talk and negotiate a resolution, a political resolution to conflict. Weve been there 19 years. Its time to stop bringing our sons and daughters through Dover Air Force base. Weve got to get out of the war in afghanistan but in a way that protects american
