Wallace Well as a ░░░░░░░░ of fact that brings ░░░░░░░░ to a hearing on ░░░░░░░░ Hill this week were ░░░░░░░░ Elizabeth Warren was questioning ░░░░░░░░ head of the National ░░░░░░░░ Agency Admiral Rogers Mike ░░░░░░░░ about given what happened ░░░░░░░░ 2016 with Russian modeling ░░░░░░░░ about the dangers to ░░░░░░░░ Here he is BEGIN ░░░░░░░░ CLIP ADMIRAL MICHAEL Rogers ░░░░░░░░ NATIONAL SECURITY AGENCY My ░░░░░░░░ is I believe that ░░░░░░░░ Putin has clearly come ░░░░░░░░ the conclusion there s ░░░░░░░░ price to play here ░░░░░░░░ Elizabeth Warren D Massachusetts ░░░░░░░░ Rogers And that therefore ░░░░░░░░ can continue this activity ░░░░░░░░ Yes END VIDEO CLIP ░░░░░░░░ Michael has President Trump ░░░░░░░░ tough enough in forget ░░░░░░░░ let s just put ░░░░░░░░ in a box for ░░░░░░░░ minute Has he been ░░░░░░░░ enough in saying to ░░░░░░░░ Putin and the Kremlin ░░░░░░░░ off this country in ░░░░░░░░ 2018 elections NEEDHAM He ░░░░░░░░ be very clear about ░░░░░░░░ And we need to ░░░░░░░░ our critical infrastructure and ░░░░░░░░ should never miss an ░░░░░░░░ to make it clear ░░░░░░░░ much and we re ░░░░░░░░ to that Look I ░░░░░░░░ writ large American foreign ░░░░░░░░ towards Russia for a ░░░░░░░░ time has been a ░░░░░░░░ bit naive and I ░░░░░░░░ that the Trump Administration ░░░░░░░░ large has been bringing ░░░░░░░░ together into a very ░░░░░░░░ national security strategy that ░░░░░░░░ put out there that ░░░░░░░░ to be more aggressive ░░░░░░░░ looking at how we ░░░░░░░░ dealing with the Russian ░░░░░░░░ recognizing that Vladimir Putin ░░░░░░░░ not backing down he ░░░░░░░░ doubling down and it ░░░░░░░░ going to take a ░░░░░░░░ national response from our ░░░░░░░░ postural review from our ░░░░░░░░ with Ukraine from our ░░░░░░░░ with the sanctions that ░░░░░░░░ brought up I think ░░░░░░░░ Trump Administration has done ░░░░░░░░ very good job of ░░░░░░░░ our foreign policy unifying ░░░░░░░░ around themes backing up ░░░░░░░░ allies being more aggressive ░░░░░░░░ Russia But clearly there ░░░░░░░░ more that we need ░░░░░░░░ do to make it ░░░░░░░░ that election meddling is ░░░░░░░░ something that we re ░░░░░░░░ to tolerate Wallace You ░░░░░░░░ shaking your head congresswoman ░░░░░░░░ I I I think ░░░░░░░░ has the Trump Administration ░░░░░░░░ no coherent world strategy ░░░░░░░░ I don t think ░░░░░░░░ Obama Administration did either ░░░░░░░░ Yes HARMAN But now ░░░░░░░░ the time Our election ░░░░░░░░ very vulnerable in 2018 ░░░░░░░░ so are Europe s ░░░░░░░░ And targeted sanctions that ░░░░░░░░ individuals and prevent them ░░░░░░░░ traveling and prevent them ░░░░░░░░ using international banks would ░░░░░░░░ a huge difference in ░░░░░░░░ and I think Trump ░░░░░░░░ an opportunity by just ░░░░░░░░ out there the Fortune ░░░░░░░░ list and not doing ░░░░░░░░ I think that was ░░░░░░░░ strategic blunder NEEDHAM And ░░░░░░░░ think this is something ░░░░░░░░ Democrats and Republicans are ░░░░░░░░ to have to come ░░░░░░░░ and say on this ░░░░░░░░ we need to be ░░░░░░░░ HARMAN Right NEEDHAM I ░░░░░░░░ if you look at ░░░░░░░░ nuclear posture review what ░░░░░░░░ Trump put out in ░░░░░░░░ is very different from ░░░░░░░░ President Obama put out ░░░░░░░░ 2010 but it s ░░░░░░░░ really that different from ░░░░░░░░ he was doing at ░░░░░░░░ end of his administration ░░░░░░░░ think that there is ░░░░░░░░ bipartisan consensus that we ░░░░░░░░ to come together on ░░░░░░░░ of those issues that ░░░░░░░░ needs to continue.
