>> jon: molly and i are back in an hour. "outnumbered" starts now. >> meghan: fox news alert, we are waiting to hear from second of state rex tillerson who will brief the press after the much anticipated meeting between president trump and russian president vladimir putin, but he is also attending it. here today, the host of kennedy on fox business, also the cohost of after the bell, melissa francis, former security staffer under president bush and obama, gillian turner, and our #oneluckyguy, pete hegseth and you're outnumbered. >> pete: am glad to be here. >> meghan: kicking off your

weekend. >> pete: my schedule is all offkilter. >> meghan: will jump right into this because there's a lot of news to cover. as we wait that press briefing, president trump is holding his first sit down with his russian counterpart on the silence of the g20 summit. so may topics that could be on the agenda from syria to isis, ukraine, and north korea and perhaps, russia's interference in the u.s. election. earlier today, president trump was hopeful that he had one report and could find common ground. >> thank you very much. we appreciate it. president putin and i have been discussing various things and i think it's gone very well. we've had some very, very good talks. we are having a talk now and hopefully that will continue, but we look forward to a lot of very positive things happening for russia and the united states and for everybody concerned and it's an honor to be with you. thank you. >> meghan: chief white house correspondent john roberts is

traveling with the president and joins us live from hamburg. >> meghan, good afternoon, good evening from hamburg. the fact that this bilateral meeting is still going on is significant. this was originally planned more as an elaborate pull aside that might last a few minutes, but the two leaders have been in there talking for more than an hour in what appears to be a very intimate setting. at just the president of the united states, the president of russia, and their secretaries of state, or foreign ministers. when you get into a situation like this where there is only the two leaders in their chief deputies in the diplomatic front talking comey can actually get some things done. you mentioned there are a lot of issues between the two leaders that need to be talked about. some that need to be resolved and some elephants of the room that need to be aired as well. i don't know how much of that they're getting into, particularly this idea that russia's alleged interference in the u.s. election, but certainly

on issues like syria and north korea, crimea, the ukraine, and buster al-assad in syria, there's a lot that they have to talk about. the president said in an optimistic note, lender putin sends an optimistic note as well through a translator. the audio wasn't very good because the photographers were snapping so loudly that you couldn't really hear him speak, but his translator said your excellency, mr. president, we spoke over the phone with you several times before on very important bilateral international issues. phone conversations are never enough. we want to have a positive development. we definitely do have personal meetings. i'm delighted to be able to meet you personally, mr. president and i hope that our meeting will yield positive results. it is possible that we could have some agreement on a couple of issues, and particular, may be greater cooperation between the u.s. and the russian military on these issues of deconfliction channels and the

operating feud over syria. perhaps a new resolution to work together to defeat isis and may be something on north korea in terms of adhering to the united nations security council resolutions. those thorny issues of crimea and the ukraine will likely go unresolved. if the president doesn't come out of this meeting and has secretary of state and press secretary are not able to say that the president did raise the issue of russia's meddling in the election, that's going to give the president's critics a lot of ammunition to go after him on. that's one of the things that we are waiting for. if you hear a bang going on just below me, there's a lot of fireworks that are going off as the protesters have now finished whatever they were doing for the day. a short time ago outside our hotel, riot police and a couple of water cannons pulled up here those water cannons are now deployed in the streets and they're dealing with protesters. last evening, there was a substantial amount of violence is a lot of these protesters, specifically members are what are known as the black block.

i don't know if they're organized as much as residents of hamburg are people who come from elsewhere across here dress up in black and mix it up with the police, take to the streets. we are expecting that as late into friday night here on the very first actual day of the summit, there'll be a lot of what's going on in the streets that we saw last night as well. we'll keep a close eye on it for you. we'll report back as the afternoon progresses in the united states and as we go into the evening here in germany. >> melissa: john roberts, this is melissa francis. want to ask a quick question. everybody wants to know about the conversation that's going on in that room. can you tell us again in terms of who is in the room, what we learn, what we know question work obviously there's a lot and we shouldn't because these aren't their conversations and negotiations, but we want to know. >> clearly, there will be the statements that come out from the russian side and the american side and it will be

interesting to compare and contrast those. we expect the russian statement will go up fairly quickly on their website. the official u.s. statement may take a little longer. the fact that we are getting this briefing, there are some firecrackers going off in the background. the fact that we are getting this briefing will mean that they will have to be more frank about what was talked about. they'll be taking questions as well. in the bilateral meeting for example, between the president and benjamin not yet -- the fact that we are being briefed on this up by a demonstration officials, we'll get a greater level of detail, a greater level of granularity of what will happen and there'll be some important questions to the administration officials who are briefing us as to what exactly they talked about and in particular, whether or not this issue of russia's meddling in the election came up. a question was shouted by the media pool to president trump just before they began the

bilateral meeting as to whether or not he would raise that issue, he ignored the question. the press was ushered out of the room, but they'll have to go into some detail about that in this briefing coming up. >> melissa: absolutely, john roberts, thank you so much. we want to let our audience know that we are going to be standing by for that briefing, it is audio only and will bring it to you out there in the audience as soon as we can. >> meghan: i think everyone like you just said is it sitting on pins and needles anticipating what exactly is going on in that meeting. let's remember that just yesterday, president trump is very critical of russia saying they destabilized activities in the ukraine and elsewhere and their support for hostile regimes and cooling and iran. he's been quite critical of russia and vibrant putin yesterday and poland. as will be interesting to see what comes up. >> pete: is only interesting because it doesn't fit the narrative to mainstream media.

i think this has been stoked from the beginning as a conspiracy. i'm surprised that the meeting was originally scheduled for only 30 minutes. doing any longer if you need to finish all the collusion you been doing? this is an important conversation for things that are really happening around the world. demonstration was serious when they are getting about finding a new partnership with m putin. he has a weekend, we have a strong hand. barack obama lost to a we can because he didn't know how to play poker. now that putin is looking into the camera with a real poker player, that's changing the dynamic. i'm interested to see what comes out of it, but ultimately i know it's american interests. >> kennedy: what will russia -- what handle they show? a lot of people want russia to change and there are a lot of people in this country who have

been very dubious of vladimir putin and russia for a long time and at this president is hopeful, he's optimistic as every president is when they come in and they meet him for the first time, but they have so much ground to cover. meghan, you pointed out they've been in there for over an hour and i've got to talk about isis, they have to talk about syria, they've got a talk about north korea and the u.n. resolution, where do they start, where did they finish and what is a victory? >> pete: not to mention the ukraine and elsewhere. we still have very strategic interests that are not aligned with theirs. putin is still pursuing russia's best interest, president trump wants to pursue america's best interest. the few places where they do, like syria and elsewhere, they are propping the assad regime. >> kennedy: the iran issue is the most, gated of all, isn't it? >> gillian: to a degree, yes. i think the key things to look for in this meeting outside of

the collusion story is russia's very real attempt at meddling in some of our infrastructure as a part and separate from people. there's an entire investigation and the congress going on right now into what exactly they tried to do in terms of the general election. that will come up, i'm sure. there's also the matter of i think in the ukraine, the president was saying yesterday that they have tried to destabilize ukraine. it goes much further than that. this is the russian regime illegally invaded ukraine and is illegally occupying the country for three and half years. that will come up. i don't know what concessions will look like because the putin regime does not seem willing to give an inch on that. we are on opposite side of the syrian civil war as you mentioned and then there's also nato expansion, something that russia is doing everything in its power to take down. those will be the focus of the meeting. i doubt collusion will even come up, to be honest. i can't imagine president trump will bring it up. >> melissa: thing is going to

bring up the idea of the meddling, i think he will will say it for sure. i wouldn't be surprised if it's almost, we know you did this type thing and in passing so it's out there, but you know exactly what putin's response will be. he's always denying and deflecting at every turn, when you look at some of the things he said about north korea. saying there's no confirmation. it's a ridiculous statement and that's how he addresses all of these things, by just denying the evidence. >> kennedy: they did the same thing in the chemical attack. >> meghan: i think we should look back on history. every president for many, many administrations bring up bush looking into putin's eyes and seeing his soul, where president obama saying he would have more flexibility after the election to work with russia. it's a complete and utter

pipedream. while i believe that president trump is a great deal maker and he's been a great president thus far, i think the idea that we can find any levity or any copper mines whatsoever is absolutely ridiculous because i would start with can you stop aiding and abetting a sod in the greatest chemical gassing since world war ii? that would be the first thing i would bring up. putin -- >> gillian: if somehow we only had a manly man in power who would stand up to putin, that is a complete fallacy. there's a reason why every administration from george w. bush to president obama and now president trump has ultimately been frustrated with this regim regime. they're not willing to negotiate. >> pete: there totally invested and they got interests there. you set that aside, they still

have problems with radical islam. there is still a place where we could collaborate with them to take on a threat that they deal with inside their borders at some level, even though they like to conflated all the time, to name any opposition, what i like is that president trump is not concerned about the optics. if this goes 30 minutes, an hour, an hour and a half, they need to have an honest conversation. you can get things done. you have two people who are not lying to themselves, they're lying to anybody else, but he's pursuing russia. we know we can play off. >> kennedy: it does is something you been passionate about, leaks. do you think we'll have fewer leaks from this conversation? >> meghan: i'm certainly will try. i also expect russia to come up with the next piece of

propaganda and i expect rex tillerson to come and spend that president trump did a great job and everything is amazing. depending on what figure comes out of that room, they will spend whatever agenda they want. i agree that he doesn't care about optics. i like that it's gone over an hour. they could meet for five hours as far as i'm concerned, but i do think the left is looking for something on this. even if there's one picture of them shaking hands, i've seen people attacking that already. no matter what happens and comes out of this meeting. >> melissa: they can do whatever they want, they can pounce on it, and has no impacts. i agree with you. there's no way for them to come out, be buddies, and work together. that's the face you put on when you walk into a room. we'll sit down and make a deal, it looks like we're willing to come to the table and say something.

i don't hold that fantasy at al all. i do think that president obama put on an angry face when he met him and it was ludicrous. there is nothing behind that, there was no muscle. whatever space president trump goes in with, he's not to be screwed with. >> kennedy: he has an unpredictability. >> meghan: it's really aggressive tough language to go up against. i agree with you, he can't not take this meeting. people are saying it shouldn't happen to begin with. >> pete: there has been a shred of evidence about russia collusion ever. this is exactly what he should be doing, it's exactly the right time to do it, forget about the optics. pursue shared interests, event there's a shred of it that exists, and let the critics hate because they're going to come after you know matter what.

he almost controls them, he knows how and that's what he's doing. >> kennedy: putin is the same thing, so they're trolling each other. doesn't neutralized a dynamic if they're both coming out it through psychological manipulation? >> pete: possibly. you know barack obama would be soft. >> meghan: destabilizing activities in the ukraine and elsewhere, much tougher language than obama ever said in his entire eight years. >> gillian: it when you talk about -- >> meghan: you were to the obama administration, cut it out is what you say to a dog when it's peeing on the rug. not to a dictator when it's helping to chemically gas people in syria. >> gillian: the one thing here, the good news going into this is that with less people on the u.s. side, you try to control as you say, the leaks coming out on the american side, there's no accountability on the

russian side and we cannot predict the multitude of ways in which they're going to try and manipulate the outcome of this on the optics aside on until end of that meeting. everything that leaks out of this is not necessarily coming from the united states. >> melissa: i want to make one more point before we move away from this. he talks about energy and yesterday he talked about how poland wouldn't be held hostage to a single supplier of energy, president trump's energy policy is a direct threat to russia. we are driving down the price of energy which is the only thing that russia has going. >> gillian: one of his primary goals and going to warsaw in the first place was to formally endorse this project known as the three season initiative which is something that the u.s. private sector in a think tank policy community has been working on for a few years now which reroutes the power grid and set of running from east to

west now goes north to south. he needs to do more with these other foreign leaders. that's the best hope right now of hedging against russia. >> meghan: we are going to keep our eyes on this meeting between president trump and putin which has gone on much longer. after that, rex tillerson will brief reporters along with sean spicer. it will bring you that. meantime, we are waiting no reaction from democratic lawmakers after president trump's meeting with mr. putin, but some top democrats are already slamming the president before the high stakes sit down. are they going to far and isn't appropriate for lawmakers to criticize the president while he's overseas? will be right back.

pounce and were extremely critical of the president, big surprise. here is dick durbin comparing putin to mr. trump. watch. >> what's the most positive thing you have to say about vladimir putin and the most negative? >> the most positive thing is that he is gifted and has knowledge of history, our president is not. he certainly knows how to meet with foreign leaders and to push his agenda, our president has limited experience in that period and terms of his weakness, he also suffers from a form of mental mania. >> kennedy: good lord! >> melissa: please. i don't know what to make of that. >> gillian: whenever any analyst starts talking about the psychology that goes behind world leaders meeting, it's a little bit silly.

you can talk policy, you can talk objectives. >> melissa: they are both megalomaniacs. >> gillian: that's what i was saying earlier. the argument doesn't apply with me that someone is more manly, and he'll stand up to putin. >> meghan: feel free to extrapolate on that. >> kennedy: is a completely different dynamic. president obama's foreign policy had no teeth. i don't know if there are feats of manliness can be proven. i don't know if they can flip over tractors or anything like that. maybe this is the modern presidency. what i will say is i think dick durbin is being a little bit foolish because.

at the agenda of this country, don't you want the united states to do it better than everybody else as an american? and russians love chaos, they absolutely love that both parties are cannibalizing each other because it allows them to fly under the radar and they are not held accountable and no one's talking about nato. >> gillian: that's a great point. the most effective form of russian propaganda is the democratic party. they push the collusion. dick durbin is a hack. he's a political hack. if you consider the source on this. i guarantee if we roll tape of eight years ago and barack obama was on his apology tour, they were applauding him for his sophisticated national approach. the world is aflame with millions dead as a result of policy that he never enforced and he gets at peace prize. we forget how bad it was eight years ago and how this president

was fawned upon. president trump takes a different perspective than the american people elected him to take. >> meghan: i agree with you, he's a complete and total hack. the politics of this are interesting. for those of us who care about russia for a very long time, it's interesting to see democrats actually care all of a sudden because let me tell you, we had a president for the last eight years who said he didn't care about putting in his expansion into ukraine is laughable. to say that democrats care, the only time they care -- when you're talking about foreign policy globally, i do think it's not about masculinity, but it is about being tough and putting the president that america is now first on the apology tour of obama's mentally long gone, but we are going to completely undo the legacy of the last eight years. i think going forward, it's very

difficult for me to take liberals and people and left seriously and anything regarding russia because they only cared when it manifested and impacted their election. >> gillian: i heard a lot coming from the left, a lot of criticism, the president should criticize the american press. >> meghan: i do not care what he says about the press overseas. >> pete: he's not going around criticizing other politicians, he's talking about a press that misportrays what he does every single day. they're going to obsess over a handshake as opposed to real things that he did. to your point, it matters to be the strongest tribe. >> meghan: this is what i care about, apologize apologize to the summit of america, the times we sought to dictate our own terms. he went on this apology tour, i have a million quotes here.

apologizing to the turkish parliament, i don't care what president trump says about media overseas, as long as he's not talking about america showing arrogance. >> kennedy: to that point that pete man, i think there is a something to be said. this is why people get so sick of the hypocrisy in washington because it using like weakness to categorize one president when you would never level the same kind of criticism as a present from your party, it rings so hollow. >> pete: you don't talk about real weakness at all. >> melissa: and tensioning to hear dick durbin talk about president trump who doesn't know anything about history and president putin does. read on the heels of what was a tremendous speech yesterday and poland that was so historically set. he did talk about major issues there and the whole setting, the way he framed it in terms of what came before him, it was really historic, so to on that in particular -- >> meghan: but it's also outrageous to make the comparison that somehow put in and trump are on the same level

of megalomania. i don't agree that trump is a male maniac, but the idea that he murders people -- the idea that you can any way compared to what's happening in russia to the united states which is why the left has gotten so hysterical with president trump at any argument they are making flies out the window. >> pete: >> gillian: i feel like poland part of the strip that came first, this is the presidency that i would think candidate donald trump would have dreamed about. he goes, he makes a stop at an eastern european nation that the united states help to rebuild after world war i that we then later helped overcome the communist rule there. he has this warm reception because there's too conservative parties in power and he's able to connect with them on a political level as well. he gets his warm reception from the polish public. and a lot of ways, it's been like a dream tour.

this should have been his first supporters of the president's party, i'm sure he wishes as was his first overseas tour. >> pete: that's when the press said nothing about it. the press is largely silent about how reorienting it was in the middle east. >> melissa: to that point, what is this president to solo overseas on these foreign trips and why doesn't some of that fall apart back home? it seems like he has clarity of message and he has a purpose and a way of reaching out that you don't see on display that much. >> melissa: he doesn't have international data. >> meghan: hit is always much more disciplined with this social media when he's out and he stays on message. he always goes away from his

narrative when we start focusing on things like cable news host plastic surgery which i have no interest in whatsoever, so i think social media is a big par part. i felt like it was a waste of his time a good thing he tweeted today was that he is going to make america proud. he said i'm going into these meetings, among forward to these meetings and i'm going to represent the united states. that was all received. the reason i do like the john podesta email as he tweeted something, i don't have the quote. everybody here in europe is talking about john podesta. really? that's what they're talking about? i doubt it. >> pete: he is pointing out shining object. i would say, we have a knee-jerk reaction to dick durbin's comments is that politics used

to stop at the water's edge. right now, democrats are cheering against this president and they've become so far left, they relate more to european liberals who want an open welfare state. >> kennedy: and the shadow of that horrific shooting in the attempt at murder, i thought we would have a political truce, which apparently is over. us before we were on the couch with newt gingrich that day of the shooting and he said this will last about 48 hours and i think it didn't even last that long. >> melissa: we want to let people know that the meeting between the president and president putin has now ended. we will be right back and we will have details of that, we are expecting a press briefing as well, it's going to be audio only. it will bring you all of that when we come back. yeah, my dad says our insurance doesn't have that. what?! you can leave worry behind when liberty stands with you™. liberty mutual insurance.

>> kennedy: that you have it come in the meetings over. two hours plus for the president of the united states and russia. we still have no word on exactly

the conversations that took place and the topics that the two strongmen covered, but we certainly can speculate on what might have happened and what we are going to hear from our own secretary of state, rex tillerson when he debriefs the entire nation that is waiting with baited breath. >> pete: i mentioned what happened -- you get into the room, so much collusion, so little time. you can't knock it out in 30 minutes. >> gillian: maybe this but the whole time colluding. >> kennedy: maybe he found those yoga emails. >> gillian: secretary taylor sink and say we are more colluded than ever. you like us can go home. >> melissa: i'm so fascinated. i would spend so much money should be in that room.

>> kennedy: it seems like there has been a shift and the change in policy towards russia. the secretary of state was accused during his confirmation hearings of being an apologist for russia and too cozy with the kremlin, but then we see nikki haley. she's been very tough on russia and some of the president's own statements and poland, what you make of that? do you see more of a shift in a tougher stance? >> melissa: i don't know that it matters what anyone says. whether they're making a speech or however they talk about it, i hate the fact that president putin, he basically comes out and tells lies about what's going on. when he says there is no proof that north korea's meso was an icbm, who cares what anybody says? it only matters what they do. we know that president trump is going to do a whole heck of a lot more and we saw that right

out of the gate with those tomahawk missiles. no matter how much president obama said knock it off, even if he said, we are going to bomb you tomorrow, you wouldn't believe him. >> gillian: it doesn't matter what people say, but it does matter what the president says and what he says, to my mind, and my view of the world, his tone on russia has grown, if you look back to may be a year and a half ago to now, he's become much more hard lined. that's the result of him learning more. he went from working with vladimir putin at this private sector entity which is different than working with him as a counterpart. when you have all the things that president trump does now, you are inevitably going to change your perspective on somebody. >> melissa: even when you're dealing with him on business,

you know he kills people. >> meghan: i will say going forward, it's general mattis and mcmaster. they have been a brilliant general warriors. i think their influence on him when it comes to diplomacy and our relationship with russia. let's not forget that the tomahawk missiles were sent because of ivanka trump because she saw a bunch of pictures of a bunch of children being gassed and went to her father and said you can't let this stand. >> kennedy: it's also interesting because to your point and some people who have come into the administration with different experiences, he speaks the language that vladimir putin knows best and that's energy. his tone, secretary taylor since

tone has changed. maybe we'll see if they are going in there with something other than optimism. if they're going with a realistic view of russia, is there a chance that today's meeting on the fact that ed went on three times longer than we thought it was going to, is this a chance that it lays foundation for some big substantial future? >> pete: it lays the foundation for something in the future. we want both, we can't have both, so i'll get one on you get another. we both can't know what that would be, whether it would be a borders in eastern europe or something in the middle east. >> gillian: do you think president putin is able of making a concession question rick i don't think that's possible no matter who the u.s. president is. every u.s. president over the past 25 years has approached the relationship with russia and ultimately come out -- go >> pete: if you look at it on the

outside as a candidate, may be the something we can work on. the reason we did things for so long happen for a reason because we are responding to communists. we need take a harder stance. he should get credit from the media on that because one of the one his tax returns? they assume he's going to pursue personal financial interests in russia. no, he's president of the united states, he loves his country and he's making sure we advance our interests. this is a guy who has changed, i agree, he's taken a much stronger stance. >> kennedy: may be they just want some transparency. is that such terrible thing? >> meghan: i don't understand the idea and rationale. he's being so hard against russia, so hard against the relationship with syria and cry me up to this point, saying everything i had always hoped, and now all of a sudden he think he is not being hard enough

question rick i don't understand this shift with people on the left. you did not care. you could not have cared less. i cannot get people in the media to talk about this when it was happening for the last eight years and all of a sudden, trump something harsh enough? give me a break. >> kennedy: we will not give you a break, we will continue with this and that passion and outcome of this meeting between two superpowers. it will bring its content stars they are revealed. stay with us. are shared over thm in reddi-wip. ♪ reddi-wip. share the joy. but prevagen helps your brain with an ingredient originally discovered... in jellyfish. in clinical trials, prevagen has been shown to improve short-term memory. prevagen. the name to remember.

>> melissa: that meeting between president trump and president putin going on for longer than two hours, it has now broken up and we are awaiting some arrivals going on at this g20 meeting. you can see world leaders beginning to file in there. they are getting together for one big giant photo. we will bring you all of that as it happens. in the meantime, one of the subject we have not been talking about as much is a situation in north korea. jillian, what impact could they

have this group together, what could they achieve on a situation that is boiling over to say the least? >> gillian: it's very difficult, three u.s. ministrations, it's difficult to make headway on the north korea issue. so far, president trump's approach has been a mixture of increased sanctions and diplomacy which is the right approach because when you start getting into military options with north korea, we are somewhat limited. we've got almost 30,000 troops stationed in south korea that are ready to go, but you don't want it to be go time because what lays before us is a nuclear holocaust. the thing, what president trump has tried so far is it going via china which is the only option to try it first because that's our best one to try and encourage china to put the kind of pressure on the regime that other countries do.

mixed bag there, so far the president has been very frustrated by it, though he has made some headway with the chinese. he's been pretty much in constant contact with them since his first day in office. >> kennedy: that's why he had that meeting with the leaders of japan and south korea because they obviously got so much at stake and they want to do whatever they can to make sure we avert that kind of crisis because not only will it be a nuclear holocaust, but the ones who survive will create a refugee issue for south korea that we haven't seen. >> gillian: japan and south korea's security interests lie more organically than with china. >> pete: the trump administration tried the carrot approach with china by saying we won't label you a currency manipulator and others. we'll see administration take another go at china, but this time with more of a stick. they sailed past the islands for a second time, those artificial islands, there's other things they can do on trade, which they

are chomping at the bit to do anyway as they ran on sort of free and fair trade. you can see some of that be triggered to send a signal to china, we really, really mean this and were not leaving this neighborhood. we are truly aligned with japan, we are truly lined with south korea, we are only building these alliances even more and were not going to tolerate it. as you said, the longer we wait, it only gets worse. the last of a threatened military action was 1994. sb >> kennedy: what does russia get out of this? >> pete: thumbing their nose and americans which they love to do. they've got this unholy alliance with iran and north korea. they feed each other and support each other with an adversary. >> kennedy: china will never do exactly what the united states wants to do because it's got a vested interest and propping up the korean regime for financial reasons. something like 75% of
