Speaker 1: All right, let's get into a breaking story that many in the audience will appreciate,
[5]
and unfortunately, some in the audience will be furious that I'm even talking about this.
[11]
There are new Kremlin papers which appear to show Vladimir Putin's plot to put Donald
[19]
Trump in the White House important.
[22]
This doesn't mean that Trump and Putin met to concoct this plan or that Trump was directly
[31]
involved.
[32]
The whole point is what has been said all along.
[35]
For people who love to say Russia, Russia, Russia said that Russia had a preference for
[40]
Trump because of the cartoonish and destabilizing nature that his presidency would have.
[46]
And they worked to help him, regardless of what Trump knew or participated in.
[54]
Documents suggest Russia launch secret multiagency effort to interfere in U.S. democracy.
[60]
Go by what is said, not by what you imagine I am saying and want to refute the reports.
[67]
Vladimir Putin personally authorized a secret spy agency operation to support a, quote,
[74]
mentally unstable Donald Trump in the 2016 US presidential election during a closed session
[79]
of Russia's National Security Council.
[82]
According to what are assessed to be leaked Kremlin documents, the key meeting took place
[86]
on January 22nd, 2016, with the Russian president, his spy chief.
[91]
Since then, senior ministers all present.
[93]
They agreed a Trump White House would help secure Moscow strategic objectives, among
[98]
them social turmoil in the US and a weakening of the American presidents negotiating position.
[104]
How could anyone be surprised by this?
[106]
Put for all the people who say, David, you love to criticize Putin.
[110]
Putin's brilliant, Putin's brilliant.
[112]
Russia is brilliant at this.
[114]
Of course, if you're Russia, you, China and the US are the three major superpowers vying
[120]
for the next decade or two of supremacy among that that group of three, what could do more
[127]
damage to the United States than electing a cartoonish moron like Donald Trump?
[133]
Russia smart.
[134]
I'm not criticizing.
[136]
Of course, they tried to do this.
[138]
And unfortunately, the Republican electorate and subsequently enough of the electorate
[144]
that voted in the general election fell for it.
[148]
And Trump won.
[150]
It doesn't mean Trump and Putin met to plan this.
[153]
That's not how intelligence operations work.
[156]
Russia's three spy agencies were ordered to find practical ways to support Trump in a
[160]
decree appearing to bear Putin's signature.
[163]
These are the documents believed to now be authenticated by this point.
[167]
Trump was the frontrunner in the Republican Party's nomination race.
[170]
A report prepared by Putin's expert department recommended Moscow use all possible force
[174]
to ensure a Trump victory.
[176]
This is also relevant because those saying, well, Putin was involved even during the primary.
[182]
Increasingly, it looks like Trump surfaced to the top of the Republican primary, thanks
[188]
just to the ignorance of the Republican electorate that votes in the primary at that point at
[194]
which it seemed that Trump was in the commanding position.
[197]
That's when Russia got the idea, hey, it would be real.
[200]
Imagine the laughing stock that the US would be if Donald Trump defeated Hillary Clinton.
[205]
Whatever your thoughts are about Hillary Clinton, Western intelligence agencies are understood
[209]
to have been aware of the documents for some months and to have carefully examined them.
[214]
The papers seen by The Guardian seem to represent a serious and highly unusual leak from within
[220]
the Kremlin.
[221]
Let me propose something to you, OK, this is this is speculation.
[224]
That's what we do.
[225]
This is an opinion show.
[226]
I want to just float an idea.
[229]
There seems to be agreement that these documents are legitimate and there seems to be agreement
[235]
that this high level leak from the Kremlin is unusual.
[238]
OK, I'm just going to float something here.
[242]
Recently, Joe Biden and Vladimir Putin met.
[246]
And as far as we believe earlier, even more recently, Joe Biden and Vladimir Putin spoke
[255]
believe to be related to cyber attacks.
[259]
I'm just asking, is it possible is it possible that part of the negotiation that took place
[266]
was that on the one hand, Biden would resist a counterattack, shutting down a Russian oil
[275]
pipeline and in exchange, in exchange, some documents would leak from the Kremlin, which
[282]
rarely happens, which would illuminate exactly this about Russia's preference and work to
[289]
help Donald Trump.
[290]
I don't know.
[291]
And the really funny part about that is that there is this idea that Trump is to have about
[296]
how you project power as a leader that comes from Trump's cartoonish nature.
[302]
You push aside the Montenegrin president or president, prime minister, I believe president.
[307]
And you talk in a certain way and you say certain things about Kim Jong un and Putin
[311]
and whatever.
[312]
The real way that power actually works is you don't stomp around and scream like a child
[317]
like Trump does.
[318]
It's by direct, undisclosed calls where you say to a leader, hey, this this is how it
[326]
has to be.
[327]
If you want this, then you have to do that.
[330]
And it's just an idea because it is unusual that such documents would leak from the Kremlin.
[336]
So is there anything surprising here?
[338]
There really is.
[339]
And no, this is this is everything we believed.
[343]
And that made simply logical sense.
[347]
And that is that that is what it is.
[349]
Now, of course, not surprisingly, the Kremlin is responding dismissively.
[352]
Putin's spokesman, Dmitry Peskov, says the idea that Russian leaders met and agreed to
[356]
support Trump in early 2016 is a great pulp fiction.
[360]
The report number thirty two, 04 vid is classified as secret, it says Trump is the most promising
[366]
candidate from the Kremlin's point of view.
[370]
There's a brief psychological assessment of Trump, who is described as an impulsive, mentally
[373]
unstable and unbalanced individual who suffers from an inferiority complex.
[379]
There is also apparent confirmation that the Kremlin possesses kompromat or potentially
[384]
compromising material on Trump collected, the document says, from Trump's earlier nonofficial
[389]
visits to Russian Federation territory.
[392]
The paper refers to certain events that happened during Trump's trips to Moscow.
[396]
Security Council members are invited to find details in Appendix five.
[400]
At paragraph five, the document states it's unclear what the appendix contains.
[404]
It is acutely necessary to use all possible force to facilitate his election to the post
[410]
of US president.
[412]
So nothing surprising.
[414]
Of course, there are people who are going to say this is also part of the lie.
[417]
But, you know, for me, this has always been there's not going to be any smoking gun of
[422]
Trump and Putin meeting anybody who's expecting that, anybody who was even expecting the Russia
[426]
stuff to lead to Trump's removal.
[428]
As you can go back to April of 2017, where I say that's the wrong expectation.
[432]
That's not how it works.
[433]
That's not that's not what this is.
[435]
But the clear motivation for Russia to make the US a cartoonish, laughing stock by helping
[441]
Trump.
[442]
It's obvious it would be weird if Russia didn't do it because it's such an obvious intelligence
[448]
opportunity.
[449]
Many countries would think of it, but wouldn't have the know how or the means to carry it
[454]
out.
[455]
Russia's really good at getting themselves involved in this stuff.
[458]
That's the that's the reality
