8:00 p.m. "hannity" is next. >> sean: and this is a fox news alert. it is 9:00 p.m. in new york city and 6:00 p.m. on the west coast, it is 4:00 a.m. in helsinki, finland, and earlier today, president trump, he went face to face with the russian president, vladimir boudin. this is their third in person meeting, but their first official summit. all bets were on the table and appeared to be a no-holds-barred open, productive, adult discussion on many of the issues between our two countries. i sat down for an interview with the president right after he met with vladimir putin. we will laid out for you in a moment. but first, sit tight for our breaking news. helsinki addition opening monologue.

>> president trump is just not slowing down, and some people in the media, on the left, they are having a very hard time dealing with the fact that he moved so fast. kind of moving at the speed of trump. this was the president's 21st visit to a foreign country and just 18 months, and after today's one-on-one meeting, the two leaders held a joint press conference. let's take a look. >> i'm here today to continue the proud tradition of bold american diplomacy. from the earliest days of our republic, american leaders have understood the diplomacy and engagement is preferable to conflict and hostility. nothing would be worse or to refuse to meet, to refuse to engage, but that would not accomplish anything. as president, i cannot make decisions on foreign policy in a futile effort to appease artisan critics or the media or

democrats who want to do nothing but resist and obstruct. >> sean: now, big leaders deming to mike both leaders, they addressed the elephant in the room. because the probe is a disaster for our country, it has kept us apart, it has kept separated. there was no collusion at all. everybody knows it. people are being brought out to the floor so far that i know virtually none of it related to the campaign. and they are going to have to try really hard to find somebody who did relate to the campaign. it was a clean campaign. >> sean: now, of course, this meeting comes just days after rod rosenstein announced the indictments of 12 russian agents who were accused of hacking the dnc and the clinton campaign, even though the dnc, they have refused to turn over their hack server to the fbi. when will they turn that over? where is that server? president trump weighed in on this very issue. it take a look at this. >> let me just say, we have two

thoughts. we have groups that are wondering why the fbi never took the server. why haven't they taken the server? why would the fbi told to meet at the office of the democratic national committee? i really believe that this will probably go on for a while, but i don't think it can go on, finding out what happened it to the server. what happened to the servers of the pakistani gentlemen that worked on the dnc? where are those servers? they are missing. where are they? what happened to hillary clinton's emails? 33,000 emails gone. just gone to. >> sean: exactly. what happened to all of those things? and tonight, many on the left, they want you to think that these interferences are shocking, unprecedented turn of events, but we all know that russian election meddling is not new at all. now, remember, the cycle in 2014, the house until committee

chairman, he issued a very stern warning about his actions and attempts to denigrate the united states and, by the way, impact of the 2016 election. and we also know, going way back to 2008, we know that russia hacked into the mccain campaign and even the campaign of barack obama himself, and despite this, and 2016, one hillary clinton appeared to have a firm lead in the polls, it was president obama who left off any notion that american elections could possibly be tampered with. how wrong he was. you may remember this. >> there is no serious person out there who would suggest somehow that you could even rig america's elections. there is no evidence that that has happened in the past or that there are instances in which that will happen this time.

>> sean: interesting. that's when he thought hillary was going to win. now that trump is present, after nearly a decade of playing down russian interference and its impact on our elections, the left is in total freak out mode, trying desperately to connect russian hacking to the trump presidency. this is a total left-wing conspiracy, a fantasy. this is the witch hunt. every single report, every investigation into our election shows absolutely no votes were changed, none were altered in the 2016 election. not a single vote, and by the way, it's important to point out every major country in the world engages in election interference. as senator rand paul put it, we'll do it, and this includes the clinton campaign. look no further than hillary clinton and of the dnc. in 2016. they actually paid, oh, yeah, through a law firm that they funnel money, fusion gps. yeah, then they got a foreign

entity by the name of christopher steele, he put together phony opposition research, and now the infamous dossier, which has been debunked, filled with lies, russian lies, russian propagand propaganda, and all paid for by hillary clinton and the democratic party to manipulate you, the american people in the lead up to the 2016 election. nobody in the media seems to care about obama's attempt at interference in the last is really election against our number one ally in the middle east, israel. and by all accounts, today's meeting, always productive and very important. we all know that a lot of serious issues between the u.s. and russia, but predictably, even before this meeting took place, yes, the hate trump media, they were already, hoping and predicting failure. you see, success for donald trump is bad for their agenda, especially in the lead up to the 2018 midterm elections. to take a look. >> we have never had a summit

with the kgb, someone who has completely studied and examined it donald trump and a president who spends the weekend golfing. and has not been preparing. >> what do you think is going through putin's mind? how is he likely to be interpreting president trump's behavior? >> he's delighted. he wants to throw the united states off balance, and he wants to divide the united states from its allies. admission almost accomplish. >> this does not seem like a president who is going there to hold putin accountable. >> i just don't see how we can expect anything to come out of this and why donald trump is forcing the issue so much. >> sean: and it gets even worse. take a look at this despicable cartoon, yeah, published by "the new york times" early this morning. it take a look. >> do you have a relationship with a vladimir putin? >> i do have a relationship with him. and i think that he's done a

very amazing job. really, a lot of people would say, he has put himself at the forefront of the world as a leader. >> sean: now that corrupt mainstream media, pretty disgusting. it now naturally, the anti-trump hatred, the hysteria continues after today's meeting. take a look. former cia director, you know the guy that was a former communist turned cnn paid hack, he actually tweeted out "donald trump's press conference performance in helsinki rises to and exceeds the threshold of misdemeanors. it was nothing short of treasonous." not only were his comments embellished, he is in the pocket of putin. republican patriots, where are you?" >> sean: john, what have you done on obama's watch to prevent russian meddling? what role did you plan all of this? now, you had just undermined this country, and frankly, you should be ashamed.

let's take a look at this corruption. we are under attack from russia. if they were physical missiles, like during the missile crisis, america would be in the streets and protesting, asking the president to protect us. these are invisible missiles. >> it's time for americans to be out on the streets and it to speak up about the democracy that we hold dear, and what we expect of the president of the united states. >> you have been watching the most disgraceful performances by an american president at a summit in front of a russian leader, that i have ever seen. >> sean: as you can see, it was all a predetermined outcome. it didn't matter what happened at today's meeting. the mainstream media just blind hatred for president trump and predetermined that anything the president does is terrible. it's devastating. apocalyptic. and at this point, they are just a broken record. it now on the show, we are not afraid to report that what the mainstream media will not repor.

and we have been proven right. we are not blinded by the same pathological hate of all things donald trump it. take a look at the economy, the progress in north korea. on the left, they always act like the sky is literally falling because donald trump actually wants to discuss safety, nuclear prelitigation, and lots of other things, including interference. by the way, meeting with putin is that bad, we all know the truth. u.s. diplomacy is in good hands, despite what they have told you. the president has never been afraid to walk away from a bad deal and hold all of them accountable, as we saw, he was critical of the government execution of brexit. he rightfully called out many of our allies in nato. why? they are not -- even criticizing angela merkel and the country's lucrative energy deal with

vladimir putin's russia, which creates a dangerous dependency on russia and energy, which is the lifeblood of their economy. after all, the west is so worried about russia. why would they be willing to give him billions and billions of dollars to make russia rich again? inside, the president is now really pushing germany to kill its oil and gas deals with russia and get their energy from us in that the united states, which would also mean millions of high-paying career jobs for americans. this move would not only benefit the united states. it would also absolutely rock russia's economy. it now, putin should be very concerned about that possibility, as it would literally destroy russia's econy and probably destroy him politically. we will have more on that in a moment. now, the president has been even more forceful with our enemies. take a look at north korea, little rock mm. a fire and fury. and despite what the media side, there is real progress on the

peninsula. strength and strategy is working. it always works. appeasement doesn't work. now, there hasn't been a single rocket fired in months, american hostages, thank god, they have come home. one nuclear site in fact has been dismantled and shuttered, and the progress continues to this day. and this is something else that the mainstream media will never tell you. president trump has been incredibly tough on russia. this is something they want to report under his administration, the u.s. issued sanctions against roughly 200 individuals and entities related to russia. economic sanctions against russia have also increased, and u.s. forces on the ground in syria inflected heavy casualties during a skirmish earlier this year. an enormous embarrassment for vladimir putin. end of the united states has been busy arming ukraine with lethal weapon systems, but the media, they are not going to focus on any of this. instead, it is russia, russia,

russia, collusion, collusion, collusion. if they are not talking about stormy, it's all the time. this is a backdrop. the president moves forward with his very important diplomacy and as a leader of the free world, president trump, he must meet with the leaders of russia, china, north korea and others. as long as he is not spending $150 billion of your cash and other currencies. our friends and foes, they know where we stand. they need to hear from the commander in chief. as you say, there is a new sheriff in town. let the president negotiate deals that obama was not capable of. and specifically, russia must stop coordinating with the new reigning regime. they must stop supporting president assad. they must stop meddling in anybody's elections and to be held. that leadership under obama is now over, no more cargo planes full of cash, and as president trump frequently says, a good relationship with putin

and russia, when you're not trying to bribe them, it is very positive. any aggressive action by putin's regime will be and should be met with strength, not appeasement. not bribery, not cash, not kissing the rings of dictators. and while the mainstream media and left, as they peddle their conspiracy theories, the administration is now putting forth some truth and some precedent and some facts. and by the way, reagan proved it to all of us. peace through strength works. it diplomacy is important. trust but verify. and the american people, our safety and security, frankly, it is dependent on all of this. it matters. following talks with vladimir putin, i had the opportunity to sit down with the president right after his press conference. here is a part of that interview. take a look. >> sean: mr. president, it is great to see you. you literally just finished the

press conference a few moments ago. a lot came up. very strong at the end of that press conference. there are those 33,000 emails? and it was this mystery answer that i think suppress a lot of people. by the president of russia, as it relates to the mueller investigation. >> first of all, there is no collision whatsoever. they have no information on the trump. it was an interesting statement. many years ago, when i was ther there, for a long time, so that they were many, many business people there. in all fairness, i was a very successful businessman. i was one of a lot of people. and one thing you know, if they had it, it would have been out. they said it's nonsense. and he also said there's absolutely no collision, which you know, and everybody who watches this show knows, and i think most of the country knows, and a talker is standing right

over there, he definitely knows. because he gets it. he is one of the people who gets it. and i tell you, i thought it was a really amazing time. i think it's a shame. we are talking about nuclear proliferation, we are talking about syria and humanitarian aid, we are talking about this, and we get questions on the witch hunt. and i don't think the people out in the country buy it, but the reporters like to give it a shot. i thought that president putin was very, very strong. >> sean: let's talk about how the day went. you actually used the term for to 4 hours ago, was it that quick? >> well, it was a very long meeting, it was a good meeting. we discussed many different things, including nuclear, including war and peace, including economic -- syria, ukraine. we discussed many, many things. and at the end of a long period

of time, it was just the two of us. and the interpreters. and at the end of this meeting, i think we really came to a lot of good conclusions. really good conclusion for israel, something very strong. he is a believer in israel. he's a fan. and really helping him a lot and will help him a lot, which is good for all of us. >> sean: let's talk about specifics that you went over, as it relates to syria. he has been a supporter of the assad version, and of course, around, which is a state sponso. >> i think it is becoming a humanitarian situation, and a lot of people are going to move back on syria from turkey and from jordan and from different places. they are going to move back less so from europe. but they will be moving back from lots of different places, so i really think that we are not very far apart, and i think

that with iran, he would like to keep the deal in place. that's good for russia, they do business. that is good for a lot of the countries who do business with iran. it is not good for us or for the world, but they have riots in all their cities, the inflation is rampant. going through the roof. and not that you want to hurt anybody, but that regime wouldn't let the people know that we are behind them 100% they are having big protests all over the country. probably as big as they have ever had before. and battle happened since i terminated that deal. so we will see. >> sean: can you partner with russia to perhaps stop them from having the proxy wars? was that discussed? >> yes, you have some people who say oh, you would have to get involved with russia, but if we can stop killing all over the place or terrorism, we discussed

her terror at great length because they have the problem too. we discussed isis. we have basically abolished isis in the middle east, and he discussed -- we discussed the threat of isis, and basically the threat of terrorism. >> sean: let me go to the issue of nuclear proliferation. it 2021 treaty needs to be extended, and also he did bring up the idea of missile defense. were those issues discussed, and a did you make progress? >> welcome at the very beginning, very important issues. to me, the most important issue is the nuclear issue. because i know president obama has said that global warming is our biggest problem, and i would say that this is our biggest problem by the factor of about 5 million. the nuclear problem, we have to make sure, we have to be very careful. if you look at russia and the

united states, 90% of the nuclear weapons. and we have to do something. and he also said he wants to be very helpful with north korea. we have time. there is no rush. it has been going on for many years, but we are doing very well, as you know, we have our hostages back. there have been no nuclear explosion, which we have known about. they have been no rockets going over japan, no missiles going over japan. and it has now been nine months, and their relationship is very good. you saw the nice letter he wrot wrote. and so i think a lot of good things are happening, but president putin is very much into making that all happen. >> sean: a lot of people in the lead up to this obviously, talking about our nato allies. america pay $0.70 of every dollar, and a lot of people have not lived up to their commitments. and also, interestingly, a big

part of nato's mission is to prevent any hostility from russia. and yet angela merkel wants to import billions of dollars of their energy come up to 70%. i would argue that that makes them vulnerable. >> she is paying russia billions of dollars. now, that's her choice. she is going to do it, but it is a little tough when you are in nato. i will say that i was amazed at the media because honestly, i was there for a day and a half, and it started right when i got there, and i was very respectful. and i tell people it's unfair, the united states could be paying 91%. okay. could be. the minimum is 70%, but it is probably 91%. so if we are paying 91% of the cost of keeping europe safe. so the european union takes total advantage of us with tariffs and trade barriers. but they kill us on trade.

we lost $151 billion last year. so they beat us on trade, and we defended them for essentially nothing. and i said it's not going to be that way anymore. you've got to pay up. he gave me all of the credit. last year, $44 billion more. a more additional, and he said it was only because of president trump. so i figured i would wake up and read these wonderful stories, and by the way, i got along great -- i actually thought finally, we have a great story. okay, foreign relations. i'm going to have a great story, and instead of saying that i raise $44 billion, not million. 44 billion tornado, and into the future. they said that i treated the heads of other nations roof. and i didn't. i actually have great relationships with them. >> sean: when we come back, we'll continue from helsinki

♪ to be when tweeted out the great sins of russia. the media would be asking why you didn't get st. petersburg. >> i said if i got moscow as part of the deal, i said here's moscow -- please pardon us. very, very nice. i have to say. they did a great job. but it is true.

if i got moscow, they'd want st. so i never thought this is foolproof. i raise 44 billion and the secretary general said he raised 44 billion and it was only president trump. otherwise, we are going to have to start worrying about our relationship with nato. i also said this. nato is wonderful, but it helps europe a lot more than it helps us, and we are paying for 90% of it. so i was amazed that most of the media -- you didn't and some others didn't, but much of the media said that i was tough, very tough, and they asked me -- and i really wasn't at all. but i did say you have to pay up. >> sean: you talked about europe as a foe. he talked about vladimir putin as a fellow. and you clarified, that means a competitor. similarly, they have sent an

enemy of the people. aren't they really saying that you are not doing your job? >> well, did i say enemy of the people? i am talking about how there is a big percentage of media, when you look at cnn, how false their reports are. when you look at nbc in and some of the others. when you read "the new york times," it is just story after story that has just a negative spin. and we are doing great things. we have the greatest economy in the history of our country, the greatest employment numbers, best african-american unemployment numbers in history. hispanic numbers in history, women's numbers in history. >> sean: setting records. low unemployment. >> that is a disappointing number. >> sean: well, keep working hard, i think it will get there. more jobs available then we actually have people. and of the labor participation rate in the country has never been higher. everybody in the media is so

focused on this in. in 14, devin nunes said with a certain team that russia would try to impact the elections. barack obama, in the month before the 2016 elections, and i will read and i will quote that the most serious person would suggest that you can bring our elections, no evidence that it has happened in the past, which is not true, or that it could happen in this election, and i invite mr. trump to stop whining and it to go out there and try to get votes. he said that she weeks before the election. >> he thought that hillary clinton was going to win, he didn't want to do anything to disturb it, and frankly, when i won, he said it this is a big deal. he said it this is nothing, and it can't happen. it is very dishonest. you have to find out who did peter strzok report to? because it was james comey and it was mccabe, but it was also

probably obama. if you think that obama didn't know what was going on, if you watch -- and i said it today, with president putin, when you watch peter strzok's performance, the lover of lisa page, when you watch that performance, i tell you, i know so many people in the fbi. these are incredible people. what they are going through, watching this guy, a total phony. how about wheel stopping? something to that affect. >> sean: they said we will stop him. insurance policy. >> and originally, it was the two of them. and he said -- and even the democrats say that doesn't work. >> sean: it now lisa page contradicted him. give a more honest assessment. >> i heard that she did much better, took a lot of hard shots, at least she was honest about it. he is a disgrace to our country, he's a disgrace to the great fbi. a disgrace. and how he is still being paid

is beyond belief. >> sean: did you like president putin's idea that robert mueller should go talk to him? >> i was fascinated by it. so they have a treaty where they work together with the united states, everyone says we don't have an extradition treaty, but they have a treaty where they were together, and his prosecutors were prosecuted, and he said that robert miller's people could go with them, but they probably won't. >> sean: interesting. to speak of the democrats. >> sean: and of course, this pitbull, a pretty atrocious record. >> it is very sad what is happening to our country because of this. we have never done better in so many ways, including economically. but when you see this, and i will tell you, it has driven a wedge between us and russia. it has driven a wedge, and president putin said, one of the early things that he said when we started, it's really a shame because we could do so much

good, whether it is humanitarian aid throughout the middle east, so many different things. the safety of nuclear power, which ultimately, there is nothing bigger and more important. and they drove a phony wedge, just a phony witch hunts. a rig to deal. with guys like peter strzok and mccabe. the whole group. and you can imagine who else. it's a real shame. >> sean: if there was russian interference, hillary played through a law firm, fusion gps, foreign nationals, who put together a russian dossier that was used to lie about you. which by the way has been confirmed, that they did not have such information. >> he knows exactly about it. it makes him angry. it is very interesting, what is happening, you look at the whole thing. he understands it. i don't know if you could see, he was incensed even talking

about it. but he is willing to take those 12 people, there is no extradition. but he is willing to let robert mueller's people go over there. do an investigation, people working together with the russian investigators. >> sean: i know you've got a lot to do. you just finished a busy day. you've now been 221 countries since january of 2017. like north korea, you are very clear in saying that this is a process. where would you like to be in a year both with north korea and with russia? >> well, i think we're doing very well with russia as of today. doing horribly before. i mean horribly. dangerously. >> sean: it has been that dramatic today. >> it was great today, but i think it was really bad five hours ago. i think we really had a potential problem. dealing with two nuclear nations. at 90% of the nuclear power in

the world between these two nations, and we've had a phony witch hunt deal it drive us apart. >> sean: this is the biggest wedge. >> it's the thing that he told me. he said what a shame. he felt it was very hard for me to make a deal because you know, all of this nonsense. you have to understand, you take a look, you look at all these people, some were hackers. again, these 14 people. and then they have 12 people. these are not 12 people who were involved in the campaign. then you have many other people, you look, it's a shame. but the fbi didn't think he was lying. paul manafort, who clearly is a nice man. you look at what is going on with him. it's like al capone. it's just a sad thing. it's a very sad thing for our

country. >> sean: mr. president, thank you so much. >> thank you so much. i appreciate it. >> sean: when we come back from helsinki, sara carter, daniel hoffman all reacted to my interview with president trump and the summits between president trump and vladimir putin. more when we continue. just one free hearing test at

>> once again, president trump mentioned the issue of the so-called interference of russia within the american elections, and i had to reiterate things i said several times, including in the personal conduct, the russian state has never interfered and is not going to interfere into internal american affairs, including election processes. and any specific material, if things arise, we are willing to analyze together. >> sean: was vladimir putin early today, denying russian

interference. you're not with reaction, the author of the book "why we fight," he is actually in washington, dr. sebastian gorka. national correspondent ed henry, fox news contributor sara carte carter, daniel hoffman. i want to start with you. the media and the left in this country is in the middle of what can only be described as a collective meltdown. starting with john brennan, calling this a summative treasonous, nancy pelosi, jeff flake, and here's the reality, if a vladimir putin had what they say, it would have been out by now. there is no way. but it doesn't stop the conspiracy theories. and the idea that somehow president trump is not dropping $150 billion in cash in other currencies, talking about a variety of issues, the two biggest nuclear powers, without the bribery, i'm happy.

>> welcome with a terrorist nation like iran, when everyone knew that the iranians were one of the most aided and abetted terrorists throughout the globe, and in the killing of americans, it is extraordinary. but let me go back to brennan. it is extraordinary to me that the ex-cia director called the president of the united states treasonous when his actions border on sedition. >> they voted for a communist, a former communist has not become the cia director under obama. by the way, all of this happened on their watch. we need to remind everybody. >> may be embarrassed over the fact that you are right. in the obama administration, he may have things to hide over carter page. >> you seem to have something come of the dossier, how that was handled. i get all that.

and i heard your mom like very closely. and i think you are right, the peter strzok has things to answer for. all that can be true. >> sean: end of the 33,000 emails. >> also may be true that not a single action by russia changed the vote, so that there was no impact on the president winning fair and square. i give you all that. nonetheless, the president missed a golden opportunity today. i have got to be direct and saying, having vladimir putin there, and into his face saying knock it off. it doesn't mean that it affected the elections. >> sean: i just interviewed the president, and he said it did come up. here's the problem. it happened in '08, everybody in congress has now said that it happened before, and it is probably going to happen again. but for barack obama to say it's no serious person believes this can happen, that was two weeks before the election. >> and they have a lot to answer for. >> sean: today, had a chance to say enough is enough. you are not in the room with him, and that's the point. listen, i'm all in favor -- i

did like the idea, and i thought this was interesting, that the president is saying putin had a good idea. it left mueller's people go interview them. he's all for it. and by the way, the same barack obama that tried to oust the israeli prime minister through election interference, as if this doesn't happen everywhere, every day, as rand paul has said. >> i think the concern -- yeah, i sure am. i will tell you, my concern is this. the president's own dni, he said that the system is blinking red. he is really concerned about election meddling. >> he should be. >> i agree with it. there was an opportunity to throttle putin right in front of all of us. and i wonder whether that was a missed opportunity for the president. >> sean: of the president was very clear in saying this has been the biggest wedge between the two countries. nobody knows what was said privately between them.

putin is denying it. you know, this idea. but here is the most important part that we have got to get into. and that is at some point, we need to have the specific evidence and of the double standard is glaring in this particular case as it relates t. as it relates to the emails that are missing. and at some point, we've got to say where is this evidence as well because we want to know who knew what when and where. >> look, sean, lets me address the question of how everybody is reacting on the left. but first, a reminder with regards to what you mentioned earlier. john brennan, who is accusing the president of being a traito traitor, voted for the communist party at the height of the cold war in 1976 when the soviet union actually wanted to destroy america.

that's treasonous. vladimir putin is a bad guy. he's a bad actor, but the russian federation is not the soviet union, and as far as i know, donald trump never voted for the communist party at the height of the cold war. so let's just put that on the record. with regard to the reaction of today simon, it's a little bit like the peter strzok testimony. you saw the unveiling of the deep state with strzok's testimony. today, you really saw the depths of the mainstream media. nobody in that room behaves like a journalist. they were like members of moveon.org or the resistance. the fact that we have the chance to talk about big issues, saving hundreds of thousands of lives in syria, the question of ukraine's national sovereignty, and instead, they want to perpetuate this bogus collusion narrative. they came out of the closet. there is no journalism on the mainstream media left, and it was absolutely ridiculous. >> sean: we will take a break.

>> sean: as we continue from helsinki, we continue with dr. sebastian gorka and our other panelist. let me go back to how the president was very strong in my interview with him. where is the server? where are the emails? why did they get away with that? and are rightly on the peter strzok, who frankly, everyone i know and the fbi feels that he has hurt the institution that they love and have served either in the past or presently. and look at where we are. look at where this has taken us. 18 months, where's the evidence? >> look at how far we've come here to look at how far we've

come. because you have president trump, had he not won the election, we would have no none of this. but it is a very important point. why did the fbi refused to look at that server? right? why was this sent over to a private company? where is the information that was contained on that server? they were directly connected. there is a lot of information that they were connected to their intelligence. >> sean: a massive double standard. >> which could be connected to the russians, by the way. this is very important story that is not being paid attention to. >> sean: dr. gorka, yes? >> there is just one thing that everyone needs to be aware of. a donald trump in the last year and a half has never hidden anything. think about it. even in his private discussions with then fbi director jim comey, he said i want you to look into this. look into this. he hasn't hidden anything.

and when it came to reductions, he wanted all of the reductions to be removed. but look at how the democrats reacted to peter strzok in congress last week. they wanted to protect him desperately. they said take your meds, right? >> sean: well, let's be honest. there was russian interference. and by the way, probably on levels we don't even know. we knew it. it has happened in past elections, and we knew that they are going to try and 2014. devin nunes said you have devoted your life to the cia. and this ought to be something that we get a handle on. here's my point. he was 17 years old and hacked into nasa and the dod. it's 30 years later. where is our cybersecurity that prevents anybody from being able to do something like that? where is it?

at some point, we've got to say what are we doing that they can still do this? >> i spent a good part of my life collecting intelligence on vladimir putin, so let me just take a look at it from his eyes, from the kremlin. and about why i believe that if the president had said look, we know that you meddled in the election. i am not asking if he did, but i know you did, and if you continue to do a -- >> why do you think -- >> i think he didn't. >> maybe he didn't, but i think it would have been good to hold him accountable publicly. let me just finish with my thought. >> sean: watch as i do to our future relations? i am going to embarrass you, will never talk again. a nuclear proliferation, syria. >> let me just finish my thought. we have a multifaceted relationship with the russians. we collaborated against nazi germany. but at the same time, the soviets were stealing our nuclear secrets. there's a lot of stuff that goes on where we collaborate and up the same time, they are targeting us aggressively. we need to counter the stuff --

>> sean: i agree with you. he is hostile on the world stage. everybody should be aware of that. here's the thing that nobody really picked up on. basically, he said to angela merkel, you're a fool for becoming energy dependence on russia. bring your -- we will give you the energy. by the way, that is the biggest threat. the president was bold on the world stage and was willing to call out an ally, angela merkel, and say you are in bed with the russians. >> but then why -- >> i was staying not bold enough to also stand up to vladimir been? >> but he did. but he did. >> sean: all right, thank you guys. it's good to see you in helsinki. you are buying drinks. when we come back, more "hannity." straight ahead.
