Partial transcript as follows: BRENNAN: The winner here, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez as you said 28 years old political newcomer here she’s accused the Democratic Party at large of not taking the interests of people of color seriously, not paying much attention to working class communities.

Devin Nunes (R-CA), the chairman of the House Intelligence Committee, said special counsel Robert Mueller’s indictment of 12 Russian officers for election meddling “looks ridiculous” because it did not include the evidence that the Russians were also targeting Republicans. Nunes said, “We knew about this a year and half ago. Everything in the indictment we knew about on March 22 we released our findings. Those findings were available March 22. If you remember, the media mocked us. They made fun of the Republicans. They said it was a whitewash.” He continued, “In the indictment, they leave out some very important people that they also went after. The indictment plays like they are only going after the Democrats when Bon Mueller and all his investigators and his lawyers know for a fact that they also targeted Republicans.

Trump said, “Well, I think we have a lot of foes. I think the European Union is a foe, what they do to us in trade. Now, you wouldn’t think of the European Union, but they’re a foe. Russia is a foe in certain respects. China is a foe economically. Certainly, they are a foe. But that doesn’t mean they are bad. It doesn’t mean anything. It means that they are competitive.” He added, “They want to do well, and we want to do well. And we’re starting to do well. You see what’s going on we have best unemployment numbers probably that we’ve ever had. Black unemployment is the lowest level in history — Hispanic unemployment the lowest level in history, Jeff.

But, as we heard directly from the secretary general of NATO, actually giving him credit for pushing NATO members to give more—to put up more in terms of their defense. MURPHY: So I think— KARL: This is an important issue, isn’t it? MURPHY: Well it is an important issue, but let’s remember the percentage of your budget dedicated to defense is not the sum total of your participation in the alliance. And so what I believe— KARL: But our allies can pull more of their weight here, can’t they? Or they should? MURPHY: They—they certainly can, but so can we.
