NOW, THE CONGRESS IS CONSIDERING NEW SANCTIONS ON RUSSIA.
THEY ARE NOT AS TOUGH AS THE ONES THAT WERE PASSED IN
THE OBAMA ADMINISTRATION, BUT THEY WOULD DEFINITELY
AFFECT THE RUSSIAN ECONOMY, AND VITAMIN PRUDENT OF COURSE
IS FURIOUS ABOUT IT.
SO, IT'S VERY INTERESTING TO SEE WHICH WAY CONGRESS IS GOING TO
GO, AND THEN OF COURSE THE WHITE HOUSE.
IS.
I'M GOING TO BE IN FAVOR OF IT?
MAYBE HE WILL CHANGE LATER, BUT FOR THE TIME BEING HE
DIDN'T LIFT THE SECTIONS, AND THAT'S WHAT RUSSELL WANTED
MOST, AND WHAT WE THOUGHT THE DEAL WAS.
WELL, REUTERS IS REPORTING THAT U.S. PRESIDENT ON SOME COULD
VETO PENDING REGULATION THAT WOULD SLAP SECTIONS ON RUSSIA,
IN ORDER TO PUSH FOR A TOUGHER DEAL.
WAIT WAIT WAIT, WE HAVE THESE SECTIONS THAT YOU HAVE BEEN
FIGHTING AGAINST FULL-TIME, AND YOU SAY YOU WANT TO MAKE IT
TOUGHER.
NOW WE GO TO OUR FRIEND ANTHONY SCARAMUCCI.
WELL, YOU SAY THAT, WITHIN REUTERS FOLLOWS UP WITH, "THE
IDEA OF WHAT A DISTINCT AND THE SANCTIONS TO SKEPTICISM IN
CONGRESS, BECAUSE HIS ADMINISTRATION HAD SPENT WEEKS
LOBBYING FOR A WEAKER BILL.
IT'S NOT LIKE WE CAN SEE THAT.
YOUR GUYS ARE ALL OVER CONGRESS GOING, DON'T DO THE SANCTIONS!
AND IF YOU ARE GOING TO THE SANCTIONS, MAKE THEM MUCH
WEAKER.
WE KNOW YOU ARE LYING, YOU LIVE IN PUBLIC.
ALL THE SENATORS AND HORSEMEN KNOW THAT YOU ARE LYING,
BECAUSE YOU JUST TOLD THEM A COUPLE DAYS AGO THAT YOU
WANT THE SANCTIONS TO BE WEAKER.
TELLING THEM NOW THAT YOU WANT THEM TO BE TOUGHER IS
PREPOSTEROUS.
HE GETS WORSE.
REUTERS EXPLAINS THAT THE WHITE HOUSE HAS SAID THAT TRUMP
IS STILL EVALUATING THE BILL, AND SUPPORTED STRONG
SECTIONS AGAINST RUSSIA.
HOWEVER, TRUMP CAN IMPOSE NEW SANCTIONS AT ANY TIME,
THROUGH AN EXECUTIVE ORDER.
SO, IF YOU WANTED TOUGHER SANCTIONS, WHY DON'T YOU
JUST DO THEM NOW?
YOU CAN PASS THE BILL, AND GO, ON TOP OF THAT HERE OUR
TOUGHER SANCTIONS.
THE TRUTH IS THAT YOU DON'T WANT THOSE SANCTIONS, YOU CAN HAVE
THOSE SANCTIONS, AND YOU ARE RISKING YOUR ENTIRE POLITICAL
CAREER, AND ADMINISTRATION, TO POSSIBLY VETO THIS BILL, BECAUSE
YOU'VE GOT A DEAL WITH THE RUSSIANS!
IT'S THE MOST OBVIOUS THING IN THE WORLD.
ANY PERSON WHO DOESN'T HAVE A DEAL WITH THE RUSSIANS WOULD
THINK, WHAT MIGHT, GOING TO ENGAGE MY ENTIRE ADMINISTRATION?
THESE GUYS ARE BREATHING DOWN MY NECK, THERE'S A SPECIAL
COUNSEL, THERE'S INVESTIGATORS.
IN THE MIDDLE OF THIS, IF I VETO A BILL TO WHICH SECTIONS ON THE
RUSSIANS FOR MEDDLING IN OUR ELECTION, THE HEAD OF THE NSA
AND INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES TELLING ME THAT THERE IS NO
DOUBT THAT RUSSIA INTERFERED WITH OUR ELECTIONS, WHY ON GODS
GREEN EARTH WOULD YOU DEFINE YOUR OWN PARTY, WAS
ACTUALLY PUSHING THIS FORWARD ñ
AND CREDIT TO THE REPUBLICANS FOR DOING SO.
OF COURSE THE DEMOCRATS AGREE, BUT THE REPUBLICANS WERE
DOING THIS DESPITE HAVING A REPUBLICAN PRESIDENT WHO
OPPOSES TO IT, PROPS TO THEM.
YOUR OWN INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES TELLING YOU THAT THEY DID IT.
SO, IF YOU BLOCK IT AND VETO IT YOU ARE BASICALLY TELLING US,
THERE IS NOTHING I CAN DO, BECAUSE IF I DON'T BLOCK THESE
SANCTIONS, PUTIN IS GOING TO DELIVER ON THE OTHER END OF
THAT THREAT.
WE DON'T KNOW WHAT THAT THREAT IS, BUT MUELLER IS BUSY
TRYING TO FIND OUT.
THIS IS THE MOST OBVIOUS THING IN THE WORLD.
