“To me, this is just classic textbook Soviet Russian tradecraft at work,” former Director of National Intelligence James Clapper says as authorities are investigating if recently published emails are tied to a Russian disinformation effort targeting Biden. https://cnn.it/3jeSuOB https://t.co/GFSeIWXeY4
Video Transcript AI Summary
The speaker asks how much the source of the Hunter Biden laptop story matters, given that the information is coming out through Steve Bannon and Rudy Giuliani. The interviewee responds that the source and timing matter a lot, and that this appears to be classic Soviet Russian tradecraft. According to the interviewee, the Russians understand that the president and his enablers crave dirt on Vice President Biden, so whether the information is real or contrived doesn't matter to them. The interviewee believes emails could be contrived, especially if they appear without metadata. The interviewee states that if the FBI has the computer, they will be able to determine if it is genuine or not, but the timing is curious.

Speaker 0: Obama. So, director, a bunch of questions from this. Let me just start with this. How much does the source matter? Right?
So you hear the story of this laptop. We don't know a lot. We do know that the the way that this information is getting out is through Steve Bannon and Rudy Giuliani. How much, do the the does the source matter here?
Speaker 1: Well, source matters a lot, and, and the timing matters a lot, I think. And to me, this is, this classic textbook, Soviet Russian, tradecraft at work. The Russians have analyzed the target. They understand that the president and his enablers crave dirt on vice president Biden. Whether it's real or contrived, that doesn't matter to them.
And so all of a sudden, two two and a half weeks before the election, this laptop appears somehow without and the emails on it without any metadata. It just it's all very curious. But the so here you have a willing target and the Russians who are very sophisticated about how to exploit a willing target, and to me, that's what's at work here.
Speaker 0: And so, you know, when you you try to figure out the specifics of, you know, whether that meeting email, for example, is real in the midst of this, Do you think stuff like that could just have been planted in there and be completely fake?
Speaker 1: I do. I think the the emails could be could be contrived, particularly since, as I understand it from what I've read, they appear without any metadata. That is, you know, from, to, and any technical data, at least immediately evident. Now, if this computer is in the hands of the FBI, they have obviously excellent, sophisticated technical and forensic analytic capabilities, and I think they'll be able to sort it out whether this is genuine or not. But, you know, it's it's all pretty curious, given again, two and a half weeks out from the election.

Video Transcript AI Summary
Disinformation has caused many to not take COVID seriously which has led to more deaths. Credibility is earned, not given. People are scared, so you must connect with their emotions and show vulnerability. I communicated my fears about my family during the pandemic. People deserve the truth, not to be sugarcoated. New Yorkers responded responsibly when given the facts, and we were united despite our divisions.
To return to normal, we need a vaccine that people trust and can administer to millions, which will take at least a year. I bet my daughters that Trump would lose, claim voter fraud, and the Supreme Court would rule against him. I still believe Trump won't accept defeat and that Bill Barr is his tool. They want to confirm a justice to win a voter fraud case at the Supreme Court, like Bush v. Gore. I hope the Supreme Court will protect its integrity and not act as a political shield.

Speaker 0: So, yeah, it's all disinformation, except some people believe it. And the way the virus works, the people who believe it and then won't wear a mask and don't do social distancing, they keep spreading it. And that's why this country loses more people per day to COVID than many other industrialized nations on the globe because he spreads disinformation, and political polarization has has now spread to public health disinformation.
Speaker 1: What have you learned about leadership in all this? I mean, you look at the president. He said, look. He didn't wanna panic people. I think back to, you know, the daily news conferences you would hold, which I found just very kind of honest and raw, and you said what you knew.
You said what you didn't know. And I don't know.
Speaker 0: I I
Speaker 1: think for a lot of New Yorkers, it felt like, oh, we are all part of this. We we are all in this together.
Speaker 0: Yeah. I look. I think I think that's right. Intuitively, I knew, going in, Anderson, that, credibility has to be earned. You know?
Institutions have lost credibility. It's not enough to say, I'm the governor. I represent New York state. Even, you know, I'm the from the media. I'm from this network.
People discount that now. The credibility is more personal than anything else, and you have to earn it and you have to prove it. And this was a unique moment in time. It still is. People are scared.
That's what this is about. It's about the emotion. It's not really about the information first. It's about the emotion first, and you have to connect with that emotion. And you had to show, the same vulnerability that they were feeling.
And I went first, frankly. I communicated 100% genuine, authentic, my emotional truth, my personal truth. I I was feeling everything other people were feeling with my daughters and my family and my mother, and I was afraid. And I didn't know where we were, and I felt like we were living a science fiction movie, but I trusted the people. I gave them the information.
I never sugarcoated anything. I don't believe, what Trump says. Well, I didn't wanna panic people. You're not a babysitter for people. You're a representative.
People deserve the truth and the facts. And by the way, they're responsible and they're smart. And if you give them the truth and the facts, they will respond. And that's what New Yorkers did. You do it in a way that that, empowers people and unifies people.
But our state, Anderson, that, has so many divisions, upstate, downstate, Democrat, Republican, sexual orientation, religions, we were united in a way that I've never felt it. And it actually was inspiring to me, and it gave me energy. And that's what keeps me going. That's what the book is about. When you give people information and you trust them, they respond in kind.
I believe that. And that's the hope that keeps me going with all this, president in the White House and all this politics. People are good and people are smart, and I'm trying to go right to the people and give them the information because I believe they will act responsibly when they get the information that they believe unfiltered.
Speaker 1: I know it's impossible to say. When do you think the next time in New York City anybody can walk into a restaurant, eat inside, not have to wear a mask, just have a normal night out in a restaurant with other people?
Speaker 0: It would it would have to be you'd have to develop a vaccine. People would have to believe it's a vaccine. You'd have to be able to administer it to 20,000,000 people. It would be months and months or a year at least at least, I believe, before you get to that full normal, if you will.
Speaker 1: You mentioned your daughters. In in your book, you write about how you tried to make a 10 bet with your daughters that president Trump will lose the election, but will then claim voter fraud as the reason he lost, and the attorney general will bring a suit that ends up at the Supreme Court, but the court will rule against him. Your daughter did not take the bet, but you wrote that you'd put even money on that today. Are you still are you still sure of that today?
Speaker 0: Oh, look. Do do I do I see a scenario where Trump loses the election? Yes. Do I believe he will accept the loss? No.
Do I believe Bill Barr is his political tool? Yes. Do I think they wanna, they want to confirm this supreme court justice so that they own the court? And do they think that they could bring a case on voter fraud, which they have been talking about for weeks, Anderson. Right?
They always you always know where they're going if you listen to them. Mhmm. They've been building this voter fraud case. They go to the Supreme Court like Bush v Gore, and I think they think they'll win at the Supreme Court. I think that's their hope, and that's why they want this confirmation now even though it's a political liability.
I believe that's, that's their plan. I don't believe they think they're gonna win on election night. I think they're planning to win at the Supreme Court, and my optimistic self says the Supreme Court's gonna think about the Supreme Court first and their integrity, and they're not going to want to look like a political shield. But, that's that's what the wager is about.
Speaker 1: Your governor, Andrew Cuomo. Appreciate your time. The the new book, American Crisis Leadership Lessons from the COVID nineteen Pandemic, just came out. We appreciate your time.
Speaker 0: Thanks. Thank you, Anderson.
Speaker 1: Thanks, governor. Still to come. Look at the second day of supreme court confirmation hearings, which just ended a few minutes ago. Democratic senator Amy Klobuchar will join us to talk about what judge Amy Coney Barrett would and more often wouldn't answer.
