Rob Reiner: We Are in the Cyber War and Russians Have Made an Invasion

‘This is really not about Donald Trump’

RUSH TRANSCRIPT:
TODD: "What do you say to the criticism from the right, nothing more than liberal Hollywood already making a decision that Donald Trump is guilty until proven innocent here, and this is not more than an attempt to rhetorically railroad the president?"
REINER: "Because this is really not about Donald Trump. I mean, you're too young, chuck, to remember, but when I was a young kid, we went through the Cold War. You know? We were -- we did drills where we had to hide under --"
TODD: ""Old enough to have done a drill but we were in Miami. Had it a little longer than most."
REINER: "Yes. The missile crisis, how scary that was. Well, we are now in a cyber war, and even though we can't feel it, we can't see it, these things are happening. The Russians had made this invasion. They continue to do it. And what is happening will long be beyond Donald Trump. He'll be off this political stage a long -- long after that. We're going to be looking at this then and trying to determine -- this is a national security issue and we have to determine what will keep us safe? Love to have a 9/11-type commission to really analyze what exactly happened here, and if there's any policy prescriptions or any rules, regulations that need to be put in place to make us safe for going forward, and to be able to defend ourselves against future cyber attacks. Not just through information, but as we know, these things can be weaponized."
