they are routed through estonia and saudi arabia. does that mean that the people who sent these e-mails are in estonia and saudi arabia? no, it doesn't. what it does mean is that whoever is behind these e-mails have taken a lot of steps, somewhat sophisticated steps, to mask who they are and where the messages are coming from. of course we should mention the proud boys, though their name is on the e-mail and they are a hate group, they say they have nothing to do with this. that is very possibly the case. we have seen groups try to pose as opposing groups online in recent months, including, of course, the summer we saw white supremacists pose as antifa on social media, all designed to sow division, chaos and fear. john. >> grateful we have you and experts you rely on helping us through this sad time in politics. >>> when we come back, the president is mad, frustrated at reporters for talking about coronavirus, frustrated with dr. fauci for talking about coronavirus. the president says we've rounded the corner. the case count says som

the second stream that made up the last million came in 1944 and 1945 from latvia, lithuania, estonia and parts of ukraine. and these were men, women and their children. the men and women who had in one way or another collaborated with the nazi authorities. finish sometimes that collaboration meant simply working in a post office that was overseen by a nazi official. in other cases it meant serving in the auxiliary e police rounding up jews. in some cases it meant joining the ss division. when it became clear that the red army was on its march and would soon arrive in the baltic states and in the ukraine, thousands upon thousands of citizens who had collaborated in some way and citizens who could not a abide the thought of living under soviet domination made their way into germany. the third group were the jewish survivors. as the war came to an end, hitler and the german officials realized that they didn't want the fact of the death camps to be discovered by the russians and the world, number one. number two, they needed more labor at home than they were getting from the forced labor

and we think that some of these activities, maybe even including these activities that are out of estonia the other day, might be related to russia or amplified by russia. but fascinating that the director of fbi has obviously convinced the director of national intelligence that this is real and the nation needs to know about it. >> you know, let me bring back in congresswoman val demings. and, congresswoman demings, i know you sit on the house intelligence committee. one of the two things that stood out to me when john ratcliffe, the director of national intelligence, was speaking, he did emphasize what iran is up to and what our intelligence agencies have said they are doing, sending out false emails designed to intimidate voters. but i did notice that he did mention donald trump and said it was designed to harm donald trump. which i find interesting. he didn't mention the proud boys. he didn't make it very clear that the proud boys' nomenclature, that their identify was identity was used. that struck me. did that strike you? >> joy, you're absolutely on point there. -- the director of

when they looked at this metadata, they saw it was routed through estonia. does that mean these emails came from somebody in estonia and saudi arabia? no. what it does mean is whoever is behind sending these messages are taking pretty sophisticated steps. this isn't a totally amateur operation here. pretty sophisticated steps to hide who they are and also to make sure they can get around gmail's and other services' spam filters to make sure these messages are getting into voters' inboxes and tracking them. >> what does that tell us about whether or not this is somebody from the outside who is doing what we see inimical actors do all the time, or is this a friendly to the trump side or a friendly to the biden side? who is this seen as helping and what's the answer to the other question? >> so, i mean, the answer right now is we do not know, we have to be very clear that we do not know who is behind sending these emails, whether they are an actor here in the u.s. or somebody outside the u.s. the proud boys, the hate group that trump embraced, denied they sent

s we have had better military cooperation with ukraine and also the baltic states latvia estonia lithuania so i believe that he has taken some of her serious actions against russia a failure at what's been the failure to counter the narrative that people can continue to say whatever they want to say i mean but the actions speak quite loudly so i think that's the best way to counter narrative is just look at say you don't see the russia being able to continue and push themselves. and deeper into ukraine or will the baltic states and then also think about this the liquefied natural gas i mean port arthur texas is the number one export of liquefied natural gas and we're using that to undermine the influence of russia in many countries and europe especially in eastern europe something presumably you'd say is not appreciated by mainstream us corporate journalists ok but what about existential threats to the whole world and the decision by trump seemingly to kill off the stott nuclear weapons treaty with russia you don't think trump is in danger in will piece by doing that well i think one of th
