a fox news alert. the president rising in helsinki a few hours ago getting ready for the one-on-one meeting with the russian president vladimir putin tomorrow for a high-stakes summit amid some outcries on capitol hill. we explained that as we come to live from the southern edge of helsinki across from the presidential college where it is a beautiful evening. 11:00 at night here. the lights continue to shine for just a few more minutes here in helsinki. thank you for being with us. the second hour begins right now. mr. trump has been downplaying

expectations but the two leaders expected talk about everything from nuclear arms control to the crisis in syria. an election meddling is another big headline as of friday, certainly after the special counselor, robert mueller 's indictment of offices. the chief white house correspondent john roberts with me in helsinki. we will weigh in on this and first we go to john roberts with me, good evening to you. don't you love it how you get perpetual twilight? >> it has been an excellent evening, an excellent stop and you've had one heck of a tour. >> it is been good so far but the big cahone is coming up tomorrow. the indictments of the 12 russian intelligence agents certainly add an element of intrigue to this. vladimir putin has assisted many times at least on one occasion, you see this, the russian government had nothing to do with meddling in the s election for the present promise to bring the issue up tomorrow. it is something they say should make for an interesting

conversation. >> he made it plain that he said the russian state was not involved. and he was very clear with his translator that that is the word he wanted. now we will have to see, given that these are allegations concerning gr agents. -- the president spoke with the israeli prime minister benjamin netanyahu when he was at turnberry and of course another issue, the russian annexation of crimea. at friday's press conference with theresa may in the uk, the president suggested the u.s. and russia relation could improve even if vladimir putin does not agree to get out of

crimea. the president as you mentioned is playing a game of lowering expectations ahead of the summit telling the cbs that he has no idea what is going to happen. >> i don't expect anything. frankly, i don't expect, have very low expectations. i think that getting along with russia is a good thing. but it is possible we won't. i think we are greatly hampered by this whole witchhunt going on in the united states. >> and the president lowering expectations for coverage as well. tweeting as he was on the way to helsinki from scotland. unfortunately, no matter how well they do at the summit if i was given this great city of moscow as retribution or restitution, where all the sins and evens committed by russia over the years, i would return to criticism that it was not good enough. that i should have gone st. petersburg in addition. >> despite the sarcasm at the end. the one-on-one meeting will take place first. then you have a press conference. then chris wallace sits with vladimir putin. the last hour we said you were surprised that they will take

questions. >> im. >> i am not surprised that the president will take questions. >> when you consider the nature some of the questions. why did you invade crimea? why do you think you could stay there? president trump, what are you going to do, what did you tell the president vladimir putin about getting out?and president trump did you tell him? there are a lot of things people will be asking and what they talked about in a private setting. i'm actually very surprised at the degree of transparency. >> i wonder how long it will go on. president trump could take questions for hours but theresa may on friday -- >> that will be something to see. the theresa may matter went on for 50 minutes. maybe we will see who they call on. typically these things you have a two on two. and a four on four. this could be freewheeling. who knows! >> normally at a summit you have a communiquc. a joint agreement on something.

or a declaration. >> i'm not so sure we'll get anything, even paperwork tomorrow. >> i have no, usually have an idea of what there is in terms of deliverables. before these things happen. we have gotten no sense of whether or not there are any deliverables. >> what does that say? >> to say that there is a lot of various key issues are beginning to discuss. the really ironic thing about all of this to me is, when the president was with vladimir putin in vietnam last november, we were told they were not going to have a official bilateral meeting because there was nothing to talk about. what a difference, seven months makes. >> good to see you tonight. how has your tour been? >> it has been great! there is always the no sleep. >> did they take care of you in england? >> yes, i love being in england.brussels was nice as well. it was a long day though. just because of travel and security and all of that, it took us 12 hours to go to checkers and back. and that was only the beginning of our day. >> living on three hours of

sleep every day. >> thank you. what does the president need for this to become more than just a glorified photo op? we have hugo with us. the present has been tough on russia. 53 percent say not tough and appeared 35 percent say about right. but when asked whether or not he should meet with the russian president, 59 percent clear overwhelming majority say he should. was there ever any real doubt about that? >> i don't think there was doubt about whether he should meet. there are often caveats and democrats have said, and indeed some republicans like john mccain have raised worries about having the meeting because if nothing is achieved, if there are no agreements, president putin will walk away

as having won something because it plays really well back in russia. you know, domestic opinion back there will see that he is on equal terms with the president. so he can do nothing, he can promise nothing and still come out a winner.this summit, not to be a failure, president trump has to confront president putin and has to be seen and acknowledged to have confronted him on election meddling, he has to make it plain that the united states has caught russia red-handed in meddling with the democracy. and that he takes this viewer if it happens again there will be consequences. it has to be plain that it is business as usual. and it is not with business as usual with crimea still annexed from ukraine. >> another question we put to the american people. this summit meeting, who gets a better deal? this will be found in the pulley. vladimir putin about 31 percent, donald trump 24.

neither is about 26 percent. a bit more of an even split. go back to your answer. how do you score that? how will you know if one got the better? >> there is a press conference that you and john roberts were talking about. obviously, president trump will be asked what he has said. he is the opportunity to say i confronted president putin about russian meddling the election. i confronted president putin about russia annexation of crimea. if he says those things, then this could be a success. because the president, trump, will have shown he is willing not to roll over and just go to being mr. nice guy. what we cannot have is simply some handshakes and smiles and president trump saying, i think it would be good to get on with russia and this will help. there has to be something substantial otherwise president putin will have won this. >> yeah.

what do you think we reflect on at this point tomorrow? i mean, you have analyzed this for one week now. especially with us. what do you think we are talking about tomorrow? take your best guess. >> i think what we will get is something between what we would really like and the worst fears of president trump 's critics. i do not believe you will go into this meeting and come out with some kind of wishy-washy we have gone on really well. because he knows that will be unsatisfactory back here. i think that what he will do however, is perhaps, not go quite as hard as he should on the issues whether it is the middle east policy, crimea or whether it is meddling. i suspect they will split the difference. which will allow him to say he confronted president putin and will have done to some extent, it probably will not be as much as many people would like to

see. >> we will find out in due time. thank you, hugo gurdon, in washington d.c.. >> thank you very much bill. now we go to michael wallace, also former advisor to dyck cheney and good evening to you. you were listening to that conversation. good afternoon to you where you are today. give us a sense about, if you or an american look at this tomorrow what are you thinking? >> of just reading three days in moscow from brett bear. about the relationship between reagan and gorbachev. you know, sometimes just having the meeting was a goal in and of itself. i think that the president just like reagan understand the relationship between the two heads of state and between the worlds largest nuclear powers, is something, and achievement in and of itself. this is the first meeting.

i think something needs to happen. from a military standpoint, i think president putin will want to talk about a number of very large and relatively robust exercises, nato has been having here last month they just had one in poland. and in lithuania, estonia with 19,000 soldiers from 19 countries. he is also going to want to talk about president putin authorizing legal aid, antitank missiles to the ukrainians. that is something far more robust and harder on the russians than the obama administration ever considered. i think on the flipside, as a number of folks have mentioned, we've nuclear nonproliferation. we have the new treaty due to expire in a few years. that would extended both sides of nuclear arsenals. and of course, we have syria. >> that is a lot! an awful lot. >> a lot to go over. i'm sorry, go ahead, bill. >> it seems you could spend

hours on this. and perhaps they will go longer than the one hour that many have described. think about what has happened over the past four years. crimea was the big one. eastern ukraine, that is 2014. since then, the encouraging you call in syria and the ongoing conflict, think about the election and the meddling we have talked about here. the list is long. but how do you take relations that have been described now as being the worst as we have seen since the cold war? how did that happen? >> i think again, getting these two heads of state together, and in many ways that is diplomacy, it is getting the two personalities together and simply get to know each other and understand each other's position. again, back to the cold war when reagan and gorbachev sat down together in 1986, we were providing stinger missiles to the afghans that were literally shooting russian airplanes out

of the sky. so this isn't the lowest our relationships have ever been. but there are a number of sticky issues. i think one more thing that the president will want to talk about in syria is our position with iran. the assad regime with russian airpower looks like it is there to stay after essentially being ignored by the obama admin station. now it is, how do we keep isis destroyed and how do we keep hezbollah and iran from building up on our ally, the israelis? and we have not gotten into north korea and maintaining sanctions on the north korean regime. so there is a lot for the two to go over. >> will be big on the part of vladimir putin. but come back to the issue of iran and syria. there is some talk that the israelis and the russians and americans are working some sort of deal. i do not know michael, how you can even verify that you have kicked the iranians out of

syria. after that war. >> the iranians, make no mistake, iranians have made greater gains in the middle east in the last 10 years and establishing the persian land bridge through iraq, through syria, through lebanon, then it probably ever could have imagined. so it is going to be tough to roll back the gains. at the same time, i think there could be a deal on the table. the president has been very clear, he did not want a long-term u.s. military presence. but we have to keep isis destroyed. if at the end of the day, we reduce our presence or some type of assurance, that the iranians are not building up on the israeli border. and believe me, in terms of verification, the israelis are going to know. this is an existential threat to them. they are not going to have it. i think there could be a deal a foot there. >> we have to take vladimir putin and his word for it.

>> we have israeli intelligence, u.s. intelligence. i think there are ways to verify that at the end of the day, the two leaders, i think it is perfectly fine there sitting down to go over a number of sticky issues. and again, establishing the relationship could be a goal in and of itself. >> a true story. michael, thank you for your time.we really appreciate your analysis. >> thank you. >> this is bound to come up tomorrow. there are 70 sticky issues on the ongoing law. is a deal possible and more. all of that in a moment.>> i hope we get along well. i think we get along well. but ultimately he is a competitor. he is rep resenting russia, i am representing the united states. in a sense, we are competitors. to be their best, kids need good nutrition.

and as long as the iranian menace continues throughout the middle east. >> is a national security advisor earlier today talking about that. it will be on the table certainly pure we are getting where the president trump and benjamin netanyahu spoke over the weekend. with no fox news national security and foreign policy -- to talk about the summit. good afternoon and good evening from helsinki. really appreciate your time. >> thank you. >> on this sunday.take us inside the phone conversation with president trump and benjamin netanyahu. what sort of cooperation do you think they can work when you consider that benjamin netanyahu was in moscow last week with vladimir putin. >> absolute. both events are linked to the prime minister went to moscow to ensure from president putin that israel's redline are respected. and that would be that not

assets missiles or soldiers would be close to israel. it would trigger a clash between the two forces. at the same time, he obviously would like to know from president trump what he will be discussing with president putin with regards to syria. abby said, they know the u.s. will make sure that the south of syria should be evacuated by the iranians so to stop any possibility of an escalation with the israelis. it is a triangular question. >> it up-- it is a pretty amazi thing that there has not been a serious incident. but you have the case where the american forces were operating in eastern syria. and russian mercenaries that were wiped out. you have this conflict now on the table tomorrow. do you see something coming from that? >> look, bill, first understand

what the red lines are for the russians. they do not want to see the regime collapse by force. they do not want to see their base evacuated in northwestern syria. that we understand. what the american red lines are or should be, we do not want to see iranian and hezbollah forces waliddominating syria. at the same time, we want to finish the business. that would give you a possible deal in the deal would be russia would take care of pulling out the iranians and hezbollah and the united states will take care of not supporting any ducati organization and ending isis at the same time. that would be the basis of understanding the two leaders. >> you been doing interview with the russian press today. what sort of questions are they asking you walid? >> it is very interesting. they really interested in the possibility of having any bases or any understanding from the meeting. they want to know president trump basically would offer something. and it is not a secret, president trump offer a solution for syria. if the russians will make

concessions. is the only path because the russians are now backing them on the offensive. at the same time they want to know what is the price? it will be the iranian -- that is well price. >> would you think vladimir putin 's impact change that war had to change or prolong it? >> what it did, bill, it reversed with the obama administration was not able to do. remember, 2013, 2011 through 2013 we were back in opposition and syria. and president putin sent his forces and engaged in warfare as of 2015. because we had the reaction with chemical weapons, we did not have strategic credibility anymore. and the russians were on the offensive. now it has stopped. as you just mentioned the incident when russian mercenaries, we stopped them. now we can talk with the other

side and try to come up with a solution.>> what is your expectation for tomorrow, walid? would you consider a successful meeting? >> a successful meeting should be that both parties are not going to leave it with nothing achieved. that is number one. number two is that there were actually agree on a set of principles, 12 terminate isis and that is very important. and they agreed at the end of the day all foreign forces should withdraw from syria. that would and sure iranian and hezbollah and other militias to withdraw. >> we think about the history of vladimir putin, he has cracked hard down on islamic extremism in his own country. but it was not until donald trump that the hammer was taken to knock them out. >> it is true because it is a game here. if the u.s. defeats isis, allies will take over. if they will terminate isis

they will take over. so it is doing world war ii gives the allies and the ones who would go further will be the winner of the cold war. >> thank you, walid. we really appreciate your perspective your walid phares. the present telling that there will be a deal for tomorrow's talks, no more nuclear weapons. can that happen? how realistic? how but an extension of the new strategic arms reduction treaty? a republican on house foreign relations committee will size that up for tomorrow to discuss. >> i understand, my uncle many years, a professor.i used to talk to him. it is the biggest problem in my opinion. this world has. there are multiples on the table: one is cash,

three are fha, one is va. so what can you do? she's saying a whole lotta people want to buy this house. but you got this! rocket mortgage by quicken loans makes the complex simple. understand the details and get approved in as few as eight minutes. by america's largest mortgage lender. my mom washes the dishes... ...before she puts them in the dishwasher. so what does the dishwasher do? new cascade platinum does the work for you, prewashing and removing stuck-on foods, the first time. wow, that's clean! new cascade platinum.

russia treaty. it expires three osuna. will bring in the house foreign affairs committee and air national guard -- thank you for your time. those pointed comments on friday in england were quite something from the president. is that something that you see emerging from tomorrow's meeting, sir? >> i think it is certainly possible. it is probably the easiest thing on the table and i'm a little worried about the deal shaping up in syria, potentially. and what that can be long-term. and obviously with ukraine -- >> how come? >> to talk about an -- in essence, a buffer zone. we have to trust the russians to do that.the same russians i have said, al-assad got rid of all of his chemical weapons, he used chemical weapons. the same russians that said they are not invading eastern ukraine. that is just a spontaneous thing that came up from the ground and we know the russian

soldiers, i do not trust the russians. frankly, their military and russia itself is not as powerful as we think. they don't even have the ability to enforce that much, much less that we see the elements of the regime dress up as soldiers. i think a nuclear deal could be probably the easiest because all you have to do is extend it but when that is said and done with the deal with inf evaluations. that is a sticky point. the u.s. accused russia of cheating on that deal for years now. >> yeah, that is true. i think they could come out say look, we have extended another five years and we can do that without congress and that is done. we will deal with the inf violations separately. i think it is certainly possible. it should be celebrated. i think it is the easiest to do because 2200 nuclear missiles or 715, the still enough to destroy and number.

but there are a lot of really deep issues and i think the president is right to me with president putin.hopefully, he comes out of it from a strong position. we know each other stands and we can go from there to figure how to make the world safer. it's only will not be through trusting russia. >> do you see one winning over the other tomorrow? break it down more simply. how does president trump come out of here tomorrow with a strong hand? take that first. >> i think if he comes out and says we have extended the nuclear proliferation treaty, that is a good thing. i think if he comes out and says, we are working on a solution to syria, that is probably a good thing. again, it depends what the solution looks like.it could create more terrace potential appeared russia by the way is responsible with the resume for about -- and they bomb hospitals everyday in syria. their -- they are no peacemakers there. these are all big issues. it will be a victory for the president if vladimir putin no

matter what happens he will claim victory in the russian media just by meeting with president trump. certainly both sides will come back and say we won or we made gains, that is normal. what will judge this is when i m on your show a year from now and see what was accomplished. >> fascinating. we will hold onto this interview. on the issue of crimea, that is when things went south in 2014 four years ago. john huntsman, u.s. ambassador, to moscow, here in helsinki earlier today. on "fox news sunday", chris wallace asked him about the hint at one point, as to whether or not crimea will be accepted for the russians to keep for good. there is the exchange. >> can you are sure our viewers, can you assure the american people that the president will not recognize russia's annexation of crimea that he will not pull u.s. troops out of syria and he will

do nothing in the meeting to weaken the nato defense alliance? >> the president is the chief negotiator, not me. he is a good sense of what the issues are pretty good sense of where he wants to go. he wants to improve this bilateral relationship and he wants to find ourselves on the same page and some of these common interest areas. >> how about the common interest areas, sir? >> well, i think the ambassador is good at understanding that he is probably not going to build to protect what transfer will say in the meeting. -- predict what trump will stay in the bp but we cannot accept crimea as part of russia. because they have to accept one third of georgia as part of russia. russia will say let's go ahead and take estonia back. they used to be part of the soviet union. and so we don't invoke article 5, that destroys nato. we have to accept now estonia, lithuania and all of these former soviet republics. we've got to stand strong and say we can be a partner of peace with russia but russia has to change his behavior.

stop bombing hospitals, stop invading your neighbors because you want to rebuild the soviet union and we can have a better relationship. >> sir, i appreciate your time. thank you on this sunday afternoon. >> thank you. >> adam kinsinger, thank you. >> less than 24 hours into the landmark summit in helsinki. the issue on elections meddling very lightly on the table. especially after special counsel, robert mueller on friday and that if 12 russian intel officers for interfering with 2016 race. how does that come up tomorrow? as we watch a continuing sunset at 11:36 pm in helsinki. >> we have an election coming up in november. if there is meddling in the election, this november, like we saw in 2016, we not going to have much of a relationship. ve

lawmakers mostly democrats, but some republicans are urging donald trump to cancel the summit. it does not look like it will happen. former now, ed henry, chief national correspondent in helsinki, good evening. we have the lights on for you. >> the northern lights. >> news on this right upper chuck schumer perley had a conversation with mike pompeo today. >> the last few moments chuck schumer said he had phone call with mike pompeo and said what you said. he wants the summit called off. the chances of that happening with the president now here in finland are about zero. but he said, election interference in 2016 and 2018, by the way, should be front and center. they're still a fear that russia is trying to metal now in the midterm elections. here is what chuck schumer wants specific. he was a present to press vladimir putin to try extradite the 12 russians and make them stand trial in the united states. it is seeming to be highly unlikely vladimir putin will be for that. he also went on to say the

president, president trump cannot go easy on any of the current sanctions the u.s. has against russia.do not take the foot off the pedal. it is something that is probably wise counsel to the president. if he starts pulling back on sanctions against russia, look bad not just with the chuck schumer is of the world but anything the president says he is for. there are republicans in the senate like bob corker and others who are saying, russia is our enemy could not someone who is our friend. talk to him but do not take off the sections to request trey gowdy said that would be his first issue. go ahead and extradite the 12 indicted on friday. look at the series of events from last week. i think this is rather telling. on thursday the president brought up meddling. he was not asked about a specific appeared in front of the president brought up meddling. he was not asked about it specifically. then after the press conference, rod rosenstein comes out, drop the indictment,

then informed the world he met with the president before departing. >> exactly. and what the president say? at least one news conference i heard them say it is a witchhunt, the investigation. robert mueller is why they are fresher, the president called a witchhunt and has called a witchhunt. they wanted to say before the witchhunt, we are indicting russians. and wanted to upstage the summit. and then they give chuck schumer and other democrats to say cancel the summit. as used of the segment to which the president simply will not do. here's the other problem. the president knows that no matter what, even if there is a perry mason moment, he admits it and says i'm sorry, it won't happen but if he did that democrats would also say we also want this! because this has been the whole narrative since the 2016 election. the moment it ended it was the russians. >> the perry mason moment happened on friday. in england.

it was a funny moment. >> by the way, your second part about rosenstein meeting with the president. it certainly saw that he was hinting he briefed the president before the trip. >> there camping up pressure on the president to get into putin on that. i think also we think about how the russians have excelled, there into cyber warfare, big time!they are good at it and we know on our trip come here to helsinki, we were given warnings about how to log on and how to work with your passwords. and stay away from banking issues. because the russians are 185 miles east of here. this was ground for soviet -- >> thoughtswhy that is why that matter what the president says to putin and what he gets and whatever putin says. however, moving forward the president's own intelligence team says they were there is a red light warning that russia, to your point, what they are doing finland and the united

states and around the world, they are still trying to metal with the upcoming midterm elections. that gives the president an opportunity to say, you want to talk about 2016 because it fits your narrative that it was not hillary clinton's fault. it was the russians people listed about 2018. which is not in the rearview mirror, it is right in front of the windshield. it is coming right at us. and we better do something about that. >> and the president said to democrats do not spoil the victor had in 2016. >> the president made a fair point a couple days ago as well.democrats talk about this endlessly. what did barack obama do in 2016? he was president while russia was reading this cyber warfare. again, and nothing is enough for president trump to say it is all obama is false. it is easy to set up the fact is if susan rice and the rest of the national security team, they knew this was happening. what did they do to stop it? >> in the final moments i have chemically talk about tomorrow? >> i don't know what happens tomorrow. i would not be surprised if nothing other than a relationship builder. >> yes.

>> it is possible and i left a little because when you say, i'm not sure what will come with this., welcome to the trump era. a lot of people on his team are not sure. will there be deliverables? will you have a piece of paper? we were in singapore we we did not know what will happen. next thing you know we are live on air and it will be again at one a and getting ready for the summit. bottom line is that all of a sudden the president comes out with kim jong-un and says, we are about to sign something and they got the agreement. north korea, let's be fair and point out and say their backsliding and they will have to stay tough on that. but the sunday paper and will try to hold them to it. >> vladimir putin might give him a little, he could.

the present will try to get something on paper. he is someone who likes this dramatic moment. yes, i think relationship building is important. but this president, you know, wants something substantive to come with this. >> think about all the trips he went on, you have a communiquc. >> all the trips for president bush and obama and now trump. in the previous two administrations you have this map, basically never surely the world and what countries you're going to and what time this is happening and that is happening. with this present there is no map. it is basically the commander-in-chief is going to decide what he will do. and that is his prerogative. i am not same the previous two did it right. he is doing how he wants to. he said on the campaign it was about stamina, he had more than hillary clinton. have you seen a president travel as much as this? he had two one-on-one summits with some of the biggest players on the world stage and 4 and a half weeks. >> who know what happens on tuesday. >> are you ready? >> i was here at 1 o'clock. >> 1a in eastern. >> thank you. the u.s. state department pushing for russia to release

religious prisoners. how we can help get them free. that is next. i'm ray and i quit smoking with chantix. in the movies, a lot of times, i tend to play the tough guy. but i wasn't tough enough to quit on my own. not until i tried chantix. chantix, along with support, helps you quit smoking. it reduced my urge to smoke to the point that i could stop. when you try to quit smoking, with or without chantix, you may have nicotine withdrawal symptoms. some people had changes in behavior or thinking, aggression, hostility, agitation, depressed mood, or suicidal thoughts or actions with chantix. serious side effects may include seizures, new or worse heart or blood vessel problems, sleepwalking or allergic and skin reactions which can be life-threatening. stop chantix and get help right away if you have any of these. tell your healthcare provider if you've had depression or other mental health problems. decrease alcohol use while taking chantix. use caution when driving or operating machinery. the most common side effect is nausea.

my favorite role so far? being a non-smoker. no question about it. talk to your doctor about chantix. the president gets tough with

vladimir putin at the summit

tomorrow. especially comes a religious and political prisoners. the state department also say they want russia to release 150 people today. lauren greene is live in new york city. >> hi bill. activists are using the historic backdrop of helsinki, ronald reagan prepared for his meeting with gorbachev, the demand that president trump challenge vladimir putin to release political and religious prisoners. according to the state department there, whether hundred 50 are currently jailed. some 20 are jehovah witnesses. last year they outlawed the religion. the last few months they have grounded -- rounded them up on charges of extremism. some face 10 years in prison. a statement from jehovah's witnesses saying in part, peaceful law-abiding citizens are being prosecuted as if terrorists. simply for reading the bible, singing and praying with bible worshipers. another concern is the filmmaker from crimea.

he is in prison on a hunger strike. they say the issue do not appear to be on the summit agenda. >> it could be quite unpredictable but so far president trump has made it quite clear he does not really see any human rights problems in russia. and i believe that the rest of the administration certainly does understand that. >> i would say the overarching issue is that human rights may just be a low priority. >> for this administration, religious freedom is important but it is not a paramount concern when there are burning, geopolitical issues such as syria, ukraine, arms control. >> the state department will not confirm or deny if human rights issues are on the agenda for the helsinki summit. but issued last month they called on russia to release

political and religious prisoners. bill? >> we will watch that, thank you for that from new york tonight. the president in helsinki, it is almost midnight in finland. during up for tomorrow's high-stakes summit, vladimir putin. what could come of this historic one on one? we live in a moment as we continue our coverage, next.
