Wednesday the Washington Post reported
00:00:03
on comments from House Majority Leader
00:00:05
Kevin McCarthy
00:00:06
in a closed-door conversation last
00:00:09
spring the post listened to a recording
00:00:12
in which McCarthy said there's two
00:00:14
people I think Putin pays the first
00:00:16
person he mentioned California
00:00:18
Republican congressman Dana Rohrabacher
00:00:20
a well-known defender of Russia's
00:00:22
President the second name mentioned
00:00:24
then Republican presumptive nominee
00:00:26
Donald Trump here's how it unfolded
00:00:29
according to the post transcript
00:00:31
congressman McCarthy there's there's two
00:00:34
people I think Putin pays Rohrabacher
00:00:36
and Trump laughter swear to God Speaker
00:00:40
Paul Ryan also in the room interjected
00:00:42
this is an off-the-record laughter no
00:00:46
leaks laughter all right laughter this
00:00:49
is how we know we're a real family here
00:00:52
I spoke earlier with the Washington Post
00:00:54
reporter who broke the story Adam n to
00:00:59
send to the recording and how is it
00:01:01
vetted if you could just shed a little
00:01:03
bit of light on that yeah so a few of us
00:01:05
here at the post listened to it
00:01:07
including some of our reporters that
00:01:09
cover the leadership to identify the
00:01:11
voices voices and then we basically
00:01:13
confirm the voices and as we said in our
00:01:16
story we quote a person who attended the
00:01:20
the meeting in question who told us when
00:01:23
we approached that person about this
00:01:25
about this information the person
00:01:27
confirmed that on the record for us that
00:01:29
that was the exchange well your
00:01:31
transcript notes the laughter in the
00:01:33
room but your articles lead calls
00:01:34
McCarthy's comment a quote politically
00:01:37
explosive assertion if this was just
00:01:40
humor behind closed doors what are the
00:01:43
political implications yeah I mean you
00:01:46
know we tried not to characterize you
00:01:49
know whether or not he was joking or not
00:01:53
frankly from listening repeatedly to the
00:01:56
audio it's really hard to tell a
00:01:58
McCarthy when he delivers that key line
00:02:01
that you quoted about him saying that I
00:02:04
think there's two people that Putin pays
00:02:05
here Rohrabacher and Trump that is a
00:02:08
total deadpan
00:02:10
he's not trying to sound funny to my
00:02:15
ears nor to the ears of the other people
00:02:17
that listen to it and then when there is
00:02:20
laughter in the room it's not McCarthy
00:02:22
who's laughing as far as I can tell and
00:02:24
then he says swear to God so you know I
00:02:28
really don't know
00:02:29
McCarthy personally I don't know his
00:02:30
sense of humor just I think the
00:02:32
important context to understand here is
00:02:34
Ryan says basically to everybody in the
00:02:37
room let's keep this a secret when we
00:02:39
approached Ryan's office and McCarthy's
00:02:42
office to ask them about this exchange
00:02:44
their response was it did not happen
00:02:47
they denied it they said they were there
00:02:50
and that it did not happen only once we
00:02:52
told them that we had listened to a
00:02:54
recording did they then acknowledge that
00:02:56
yes indeed it happened and then of
00:02:58
course that their memories are all
00:03:00
suddenly came back and it was all just a
00:03:03
joke right so I think a comparable here
00:03:06
is that tape that the again the post
00:03:09
obtained during the campaign of Trump
00:03:12
when he was talking to Billy Bush you
00:03:15
know what was this was he serious about
00:03:18
what he said or was he was that just the
00:03:21
banter between two guys I think what
00:03:24
what we see in this tape that we review
00:03:27
is is it could be banter or it could be
00:03:30
that he's touching on something that he
00:03:33
believes but only says in this in this
00:03:37
sort of a way yeah well this
00:03:38
conversation happened a day after news
00:03:41
broke of the Russian hack on the DNC
00:03:43
help us understand that context yeah I
00:03:47
think you have to understand also this
00:03:49
is June 2015
00:03:51
there isn't the Russians haven't started
00:03:53
to leak anything yet the Clinton emails
00:03:56
have not been released to WikiLeaks that
00:03:58
doesn't happen for another month so it's
00:04:00
very early for somebody to make a
00:04:03
statement like this frankly Hillary
00:04:05
Clinton doesn't make any statements even
00:04:07
close to this for for for a month or
00:04:10
longer so for McCarthy to say something
00:04:13
like this he's really frankly ahead of
00:04:15
the curve if you will in terms of
00:04:16
reaching such a making such an
00:04:19
assessment based on the information that
00:04:21
was publicly available
00:04:23
you know at the time Trump was making
00:04:26
statements that were very positive about
00:04:28
Putin that was and those statements were
00:04:31
at odds with McCarthy's public
00:04:33
statements on Putin for example McCarthy
00:04:36
was very much a vocal critic of Putin
00:04:38
and here you had Trump who was defending
00:04:41
Putin and in fact holding him up and his
00:04:44
leadership up to praise particularly
00:04:47
compared to Obama so you know you had
00:04:50
this basically asymmetry between the way
00:04:55
Trump talked about Russia and Putin and
00:04:57
wanting to cooperate with Russia which
00:05:00
is very much Rohrabacher z' approach
00:05:02
versus what the Republican leadership in
00:05:04
this room had been saying for four years
00:05:07
frankly on Russia they you know Paul
00:05:09
Ryan McCarthy are very much vocal
00:05:12
critics of Putin so this is not a an
00:05:15
issue Russia that the Republican
00:05:18
leadership and Trump see eye to eye on
00:05:20
all right out of intrusive the
00:05:22
Washington Post thank you so much out
00:05:23
and really appreciate your time thank
00:05:25
you
