CNNW New Day December 12, 2016

Suffered one of the greatest defeats in the history of politics in this country. Reporter but its not just democrats. A group of bipartisan senators are joining forces calling for congress to launch an indepth probe into russias tampering. Saying the reports should alarm every american and urging cyberattacks cannot become a partisan issue. I think they did interfere with our elections and i want putin personally to pay a price. Reporter this as speculation continues over trumps nomination for secretary of state. Multiple sources familiar with the transition telling cnn exxon mobil chairman and Ceo Rex Tillerson has emerged as the frontrunner. He is much more than a business executive. He is worldclass player. Reporter the possible nomination already sparking sharp criticism from some in the gop establishment, concerned about tillersons own ties to russia. Two 2013, tillerson was awarded russias top order for foreigners the order of friendship from russian pretz vladimir putin. A matter of concern to me that he has such a close, personal relationship with vladimir putin. Reporter florida senator marco rubio blasting trumps pick. Tweeting, being a friend of vladimir is not an attribute i am hoping for from secretary of state. And the president elect, again, showing his willingness to challenge china. Questioning whether the u. S. Should keep its longstanding position that taiwan is part of one china. I fully understand the one china policy, but i dont know why we have to be bound by a one china policy unless we make a deal with china having to do with other things, including trade. And the Chinese Foreign ministry weighing in on this particular issue, urging the president elect and the new administration to stick to the onechina policy. The president elect, for his part, alisyn, moving along with his transition. Now naming a new member to his team. General john kelly as been named to be the person to head up the department of homeland security. That now becomes the third general who will be part of his administration. Alisyn . Okay. Well see if we get even more announcements today. Jason, thank you very much. 17 intelligence agencies conclude that russia interfered in the u. S. Election. But the cia and the fbi differ on why. Russia did that. Lets bring in cnn pentagon correspondent Barbara Starr to break down this conflicting information. What have you learned, barbara . Good morning, alisyn. It all goes to the question, really, of russian motivation, russian intent. Right now it looks like the cia believes that russia really was trying to steer the election towards donald trump. Why do they believe that steer was happening . Thats because both democrats and republicans, the cia says, got hacked by the russians, but only democratic data, democratic information, was released. No republican information was released. So they come to the conclusion thats the steer towards donald trump. The fbi not ready to sign up to that intent yet, but by all accounts believing that the russians were trying to at least undermine the u. S. President ial election. One of keet republican sean spicer the rnc Communications Director spoke about all of this over the weekend. If the cia is so convinced of this, why wont they go on the record and say that it was as they did with the dnc . This is i mean, i believe that there are people within these agencies that are upset with the outcome of the election and are pushing a personal agenda. But the facts dont add up. So, the republicans donald trump, as well, appearing to believe that this is all politically motivated, the Intelligence Community not son that page. Now we are looking at the possibility of a bipartisan congressional investigation and, of course, president obama has already ordered his own investigations, all of this as he wants completed before he leaves office. Chris . All right, barbara, thank you very much. Joining us now is Wisconsin Republican representative sean duffy. A member of the president ial executive team. Good to see you congressman. Good to see you, too, chris. Lets separate some nuance going on here with this issue with the issue of Global Warming lets see if we can separate some of this. One, do you accept the consensus of the Intelligence Community that russia was involved with the hacking attempt during the 2016 election . I dont know. I think if theres a consensus we should see that consensus from from news reports that come from the fbi and the cia. If the if russia was involved in trying to influence american elections we should know about it, chris. But i think its important that we parse that with the point that i dont think russia actually had any influence in this election. It tried but it didnt have an influence. They didnt set up the Hillary Clintons email server. They didnt set up the clinton foundation. They didnt do her messaging. Right. They didnt encourage her not to come to the great state of wisconsin. Separate question. In october, we heard from clapper, you know, you know, he is coordinating responsibility saying russias vofld with whats going on here with the hacking. They are not in question about that. And im sure you know this. You can get a briefing whenever you want it. They are of no two minds about that. Why russia did it. That is a separate question. They are not done with that part of their investigation yet. And now, as you know, youve got bipartisan members on the senate side who want to do a set of hearing of that on their own. But in terms of russias involvement, that does not seem to be something that we need to seek more about. You you seem to say differently. Well, what i think, chris, is that if russia was involved, again, we want to do the Background Investigation and fully be aware of what kind of influences they want in our election system. Because we want to prevent it in the future. That is key. I think its important that we dont inflate this with russia actually having an influence on the net end result of our election last november right but its the political second part seems to be fuelling a reaceson to the first part especially by the president elect and it seems to be lining up people against him now. Youve got mccain and schumer on the same page about wanting to investigate this because they say, hey, supporting russia, which is what it winds up being, right, if you wind up if you dont accept the intelligence that they were meddling in our election then youre tacitly defending them at a minimum. I dont think so. How not . If the Intelligence Community and clapper says russia was behind this and you say, i think thats ridiculous, what are you saying . But i think whats important, what are the American People hearing through the reporting . I dont think we want to conflate the two and i want to make sure the American People understand that russia did not influence this election. And i think there could be a motive by some to tarnish donald trump and say listen, he wouldnt have won but for the fact that russia was involved in this election. And i, in a swing state that hasnt gone for a republican but nobody credible is saying that. But i think that weve got to be clear when we do say it because when i think you say russia was involved in the election but the intel agency but donald trump did its not the media, its an intel my point to you chris is i think that when we talk about it, thats why we want to be very clear to the American People there is a clear distinction. Yes, if they were involved. How were they involved. Lets investigate it. Lets find out the truth. But im saying but its important to know youre ignoring the first part. I get you about hey dont say no im not. I keep saying to you clapper came out in october. The intel agency is saying that they have consensus about whether or not russia was involved and the answer is, yes. You say yeah we should investigate but chris theyre saying the answer is yes. You dont have to invest that. To find out what their motives or or what else they might what you dont know whether or not they were involved. The intel agency is saying they were. But you have a disagreement about the intent with the fbi and the cia right. Thats something separate. Sometimes the cia was political and what was the real intent and were they trying to undermine american 2ke78 crease. Separate question. But again when we talk about it exclusively like russia is involved in our election. And then that might lead viewers to think that well maybe donald trump wouldnt have won but for russian involvement and i think thats absolutely false. Again you have to look, what did i mean if russia is so powerful and such great hackers the best they could come up with the Podesta Emails . I mean really it was a little bit emfwars aing for rt campaign but it didnt move anybody im just saying again no, im not. Thats what it sounds like. I ceded that point the first time around. You just said if they were involved the best they could come up with would be a podesta email. I havent heard you say, chris, i havent heard you say, listen, theres two questions. One, what was russian involvement . What did they do . Lets investigate. But i dont hear you saying lets be crystal clear, the dncs emails showing that the dnc partnered with Hillary Clinton to thwart the rise of bernie sanders, that didnt play at all in states like wisconsin. Nobody kard. And i think we have to be clear to the American Voter that russia didnt have any involvement in the outcome of this election. In states like mine that won the race from democrats and republicans. Im just saying my job is to i want you to understand my job is to go on what we can discern as fact. And what we know at this point is, the u. S. Intel agencies say russia was involved. What they did, why they did it, thats going to require secondary tesh yairry analysis. Let me ask you about a separate issue. Tillerson and trump seem to be likeminded, this has nothing to do with russia or china but on Global Warming. Trump just gave out some sound do we have it that we can play . Let me play this for you. Sure. Im still openminded. Nobody really knows. Look, im somebody that gets it. And nobody really knows. Its not something that is so hard and fast. I do know this. Other countries are eating our lunch. Again, its like theyre two different conversations being have. You have the overwhelming consensus of the Scientific Community will say you do not get it, to use the president elects words, if you think that there is an open question as to whether or not mans actions have an influence on Global Warming. How much, what to do about it, are our policies good enough for us or too advantageous to other countries separate consideration do you believe that it is an open question as to whether or not mans actions are influencing Global Warming . Well what ill say chris is i think that the climate is changing and it has always changed. And, we thought back in the 70s, the same kind of folks were saying that we had the next ice age that was upon us coming in the 70s. Now, weve seen here the earth is getting warmer. What i think is important when you look at this, and i live in wisconsin. I live here, chris, because i love the outdoors. I love the swimming, kayak, and ski and hike. And if you dont have clean air and clean water you cant do any of those things. Its important to me and my constituents. I have the largest lake in my district, like superior. And what i think is important to say, what are the smart policies that can help us reduce our Carbon Emissions right. But also make america competitive because if youre driving up the cost of energy and electricity in states like mine, i have poor people, they cant afford their electric bills. They cant afford to put food on their table. So they want us to have a smart policy i get you but again these are two separate things. Like i said the other day talking to mash sha black burn, can you be theyre between clean water and clean air if you dont support the science of Global Warming and the reason i said that is theres a continuum of thought, if you believe that the science is correct, and you know im not a scientist, youre not a scientist, that the Scientific Community has consensus on mans actions, i accept that science. Then, what are your smart policies. I dont know why you have to question the Scientific Consensus to want to question what the right policies are. But, chris, the flip side of that you could say listen i believe in Global Warming, i believe its manmade, i believe that america is the worst actor and so what im going to do is look at the rust belt, im going to look at states like wisconsin, michigan, ohio and pennsylvania, and what i need to do is put all of these Blue Collar Workers out of a job. And make sure that the job they do have they dont make enough money to pay their electrical bills and their gas bills. They cant pay for their food. And so what, theyll have more government promise to help more people who cant provide for themselves. What im telling you is we need to have smart policies that are clean policies but also are moving america along as we develop new technologies so youre not having energy costs skyrocket. As you know manufacturing in america uses a lot of energy. And if you can take reduced energy costs, making america more competitive it means more jobs but also the ability to pay better wages. Which are all issues that the we care about. But one of the problems with democrats is theyll say we want to increase rules, regulations, we want to increase wages, we want to increase the cost of health care, and we want American Business to be successful and stay in america. Well, something has to give. So how do we have a commonsense approach to these policies that help the american worker, but also make sure we have a Clean Environment . I think you can balance those two things really effectively. But if you push it too far, like what barack obama was doing, all of a sudden youre regulating on my farms in america that i hear you mud puddles in the ditches of their fields. I hear you. They cant farm anymore. I hear you. Balanced and smart policies that can help both of those two things happen. And lets not cheat the conversation as these ideas come up and you have to make these decisions lets keep having this conversation right here on new day. As always, thank you very much, congressman. Thanks, chris, have a good day. Okay, lets get to some headlines. Boeing sealing the biggest deal between the u. S. And iran in nearly 40 years. Despite operations opposition i should say from some big name lawmakers including president elect trump. The multibillion dollar deal to sell 80 jets to iran was made possible after the u. S. Lifted sanctions against iraq in september boeing says the agreement will support tense of thousands of u. S. Jobs. An australian graffiti artist has recreated the punch seen round the world. The zookeeper. The congress ra has his dog. They frame up, bing. Last week this happened in australia. Love it. I got some heat from this from animal first of all, the kangaroo is fine. But but stunned. Its within captured in a mural now. The art piste tweeting out, no word if the zookeeper has seen it or if the kangaroo did. What do you think . Well i like the action shot. So, i dont know that the still frame captures it with quite the delight that the action shot does where they show the kangar kangaroos stunned expression afterwards. Would i have any more legitimacy with you now that you see how many other people have found this no i always because you thought it was me being vanilla gorilla and i like anything that hits anything else. You do like anything that hits a kangaroo. First of all a kangaroo is not a victim. See, here we go. You have a lot of feelings about kangaroo. Kangaroo a man who goes to save his dog, and throws a punch at a kangaroo, and the way the kangaroo just all right. Anyway. Oh, maybe well play that again later chris delights in it. Meanwhile back in news the cia and the fbi do not see eye to eye on russias motivation to interfere with the u. S. President ial election. Why arent they on the same page . Were going to ask our two best were going to ask our two best Intelligence Experts next. R a f . Ready, go hi, juice universe . One large rutabaga, with eggplant. Done thats not fair. Glad i had a v8. The original way to fuel your day. As after a dvt blood clot,ital i sure had a lot to think about. What about the people i care about . Including this little girl. And what if this happened again . I was given warfarin in the hospital, but wondered, was this the best treatment for me . So i asked my doctor. And he recommended eliquis. Eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots and reduces the risk of them happening again. Yes, eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots. Eliquis also had significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. Both made me turn around my thinking. Dont stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. If you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily. And it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Eliquis treats dvt and pe blood clots. Plus had less major bleeding. Both made eliquis the right treatment for me. Ask your doctor if switching to eliquis is right for you. More than a dozen intel agencies say russia meddled in the u. S. President ial election so the fbi and cia see it what differently. Unnamed sources tell the Washington Post that the cia believes russia deliberately wanted to hurt Hillary Clinton and elect donald
