interlocks. one senator saying white nationalists, that is a trump republican. i mean, you know, we're so far over the line of who is us, that is who they say they are. what do we do when the country's national security doesn't get the likes of a mitch mcconnell or a mitt romney or a kevin mccarthy to talk to the nuts in their own caucuses and come to the table and say enough is enough, break the fever? >> yeah, i mean, you are referencing tommy tuberville's almost inexplicable comments that he tried to walk by by saying that whites supremacists are just trump supporters. i mean, that may have been a very revealing moment if you will and something of a truthful moment because there is a one for one correspondence. supremacists routinely love president trump because he enabled them, he welcomed them and he platformed them in ways that we've never seen before. and anti-semitism like
wins. >> i do want to ask you though about a part of the argument trump's lawyers are making to the supreme court that i think is interesting. so doj says, no, these classified documents can't go to the special master because that could harm national security. what trump's lawyers are saying is how can you make that argument while at the same time arguing you want to be able to use these documents to present to witnesses, to present to a grand jury? you know, how do you square the two? do you think they have -- what do you think? >> sure. there is nothing uncommon in the justice department. i worked there for six years throughout my career. there is nothing uncommon in there being both national security and criminal justice interests in the same piece of evidence. and the mere fact that something might affect national security doesn't mean the prosecutors or grand juries can't see it. there are rules and regulations and laws of governing the security of that information even when using the criminal justice system. it's a little bit cute to say that merely because a grand jury might see it that, somehow it's now a risk to national security.
it is difficult to see, to watch, and it is difficult to understand how we got to this point. that's why i wrote this piece in the atlantic. we had some wishful thinking about our policy toward russia. this is the opportunity to really start with a blank slate, understand what our challenges are, and move forward. make sure that our national security doesn't get further undermined in the u.s. >> we really appreciate getting your perspective, personal and professional on all of this. thank you so much for being here. >> now, of course, the rteportig that we heard is that the ukrainians aren't putting up a fight. we had the reporting that we heard from our people that they are taking up arms. they are going to recruitment centers to get weapons. they can protect themselves. they're being told to make molotov cocktails. >> but they're also outmanned and outgunned. and our correspondents have been seeing horrible things on the ground. we're monitoring the situation on the ground.
people become recidivists, let's not forget if you are getting a graduate you are kind of a celebrity in your home country and i think that 20% is pretty low. a lot more than that return to terrorism in one way, shape or form and this periodic review board says he's no longer a threat to national security doesn't mean he's not offered to people. he still going to create murder and mayhem. is not going to overthrow the us government that people will die and get hurt because he is on the loose. >> we talk about the fact that they could be a danger to our country to release these guantánamo bay prisoners but today deserve to be released? your brother died in 9/11. if you have such a length against the us why release these people back? >> a new york city firefighter
actually has a very simple world view which is you do right by me, i do right by you. and the problem with that world view is america's national security doesn't really fit into it. >> right. >> that's his afterthought. that's kind of a second tier consideration for him. he likes mbs, mohammad bin salman, the crown prince of saudi arabia, he likes vladimir putin, he likes anyone who will come either say nice things about him or do right by him in his business. and so from a foreign policy perspective it's a bit baffling to even opine on this because it's so out of step with any president that we've had in recent memory that you have a guy sitting in the oval office who basically views the job as an opportunity for him to get ahead and his family to get ahead, even if it comes at the expense of what makes sense for the united states. >> david, this is the second story you've written about the saudis pouring money into trump hotels.
you. in your first segment you heard about how that logic played out with the russians. now you're seeing how it's playing out with the saudis. and as we speak here tonight, the trump administration is protecting the crown prince of saudi arabia against the american intelligence. the chinese giving trade marks to ivanka trump, other dictators pitching hotels in their countries. donald trump has put his family business ahead of the nation's business and for the american people that basically means their national security is being put up to the highest bidder. >> are you worried about -- are you worried about the degree he's compromised by these business interests and whether he knows all this and whether it's getting reported up to him? >> look, i think donald trump actually has a very simple world view which is you do right by me, i do right by you. and the problem with that world view is america's national security doesn't really fit into it.
than him. again, that's an incumbent who is being defeated by huge numbers. that is a huge red flag right there. first of all, that mark harris goes from four absentee by mail votes in 2016 to like 400 in 2018. but it shows you that the two campaigns he was working for, his ties to these blowout victories and the numbers just stand out completely against what the other results are in the ninth district. >> what strikes me about this is this was not that secret in the sense that you, a very enterprising local tv reporter, has now been able to have two on camera interviews with individuals paid by him to do something facially illegal under north carolina law, protect ballots. this doesn't seem like a secret. am i wrong? >> everybody in bladen county seems to know who mccray dallas is, and i'll tell you pretty much everyone has an idea of what he's about. maybe not specifically what he
