"hannity" is next. ♪ ♪ >> sean: and this is a fox news alert. it is 9:00 p.m. in new york city and our nations coast, 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 putin. this is their third in-person meeting, but their first official summit. all topics 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.wi we will play it for you in just a moment. but first, a lot to get to. if it tight for our breaking news helsinki e dish 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 a conference. a 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 that diplomacy andcy engagement is preferable to conflict and hostility. nothing would be easier politically than to refuse to meet, refused to engage, but that would not accomplish anything. as president, i cannot make decisions on foreign policy in a futile effort to appease partisan critics or the media or democrats who want to do nothing but resist and obstruct.

>> sean: now both leaders w leaders, they addressed the big elephant in the room. that was election interference. let's watch this. >> the probe is a disaster for our country, it has kept us apart, it has kept us separated. there was no collusion at all. h everybody knows it.e people are being brought out to the fore, so far that i know virtually none of it related to the campaign. and they are going to have toll try really hard to find somebody that did relate to the campaign. it was a clean campaign. >> sean: now, of course, this meeting comes just days after the deputy attorney general rod rosenstein and knows the indictments of 12 russian agents who were accused of hacking the dnc and the campaign chairman john podesta, even though they dnc, they refused to turn over their hacked server to the fbi. when will they turn that over? where is that server? w president trump weighed in on

this very issue during this joint presser. it take a look at this. >> let me just say, we have twoh thoughts. we have groups that are wondering why the fbi never took the server. why haven't they taken the server?'t why was the fbi told to meet why was the fbi told to leave the office of the democratic national committee? i really believe that this willi 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 gentleman that worked on the dnc?th where are those servers? they are missing. where are they? what happened to hillary clinton's emails? 33,000 emails gone. just gone.n' >> sean: exactly. what happened to all of those things? and tonight, many on the left, they want you believe these alleged interferences are shocking, unprecedented turn of events, but we all know that russian election meddling is not new at all. remember, i would the 2016 presidential election cycle,

in 2014, the house intel committee chairman, devin nunes, he issued a very stern warning about his actions and attempts to denigrate the w 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, in 2016, when hillary clinton appeared to have a firm lead in the polls, it was president obama who laughed off any notion thatwr 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.t that's when he thought hillary was going to win.th

now that trump is president,er 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 russia 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 show 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 all do it, and this includes the clinton campaign. if you are looking for russian interference, look no further than hillary clinton in 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, foreign spy by the name of christopher steele, he put together phony opposition research, and now the infamous dossier, which has beende debunked, filled with lies, russian lies, russian 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 israeli election against our number one ally in the middle east, israel. and prime minister benjamin netanyahu. 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,ve 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.or take a look. >> we have never had a summit

with a kgb spymaster, someone who has completely studied and examined donald trump and a president who spends themp weekd 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, ande' he wants to divide the united states from its allies. mission almost accomplished. >> 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" opinion page on twitter early this morning. take a look.k. >> 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 brilliant and 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's your corrupt mainstream media, pretty disgusting. now naturally, the anti-trump hatred, the hysteria continues after today's meeting. look at this. former cia director, you know the guy that was a former communist turned cnn paid hack, john brennan, he actually tweeted out: "donald trump's press conference performance in helsinki rises to and exceeds the threshold of high crimes and misdemeanors. it was nothing short of treasonous. not only were his comments imbecilic, he is wholly in the pocket of putin. republican patriots, where are youea >> sean: john, what have you done on obama's watch to prevent russian meddling? what role did you play in all of this? now, you had just undermined this country, and frankly, you should be ashamed. c let's take a look at this

corruption. >> we are under attack from russia.. if there were physical missiles, like during the cuban missile crisis, america would be in the streets and protesting, asking i the president to protect us. these are invisible missiles. >> it's time for americans to be out on the streets and it tosi 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. your mainstream media, blind hatred for president trump, they long predetermined that anything the president trump does is terrible, devastating,al apocalyptic. and at this point, they are just a broken record.ra now on the show, we are not afraid to report that what the mainstream media will not report.

and we have been proven right. we are not blinded by the same pathological hate of all things donald trump.ve look at the economy, the progress in north korea. while the left always acts like this guys literally falling because donald trump actually wants to discuss safety and security with nuclear weapons, nuclear proliferation, syria, iran, a lot of other important issues, 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, never been afraid to roll call out foreign leaders, 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? b they are not paying their fair share for their own national defense. even criticizing the german chancellor, angela merkel, and the country's lucrative energy

deals vladimir putin russia, which creates a dangerous dependency in russia and energy, which is the lifeblood of their economy. after all, if the west is so worried about russia,il 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 wreck russia's economy. now, putin should be very concerned about that possibility, as it would literally destroy russia's economy 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.a look at north korea, little rocket man. fire and fury. our button works, yours doesn't, and it's bigger. despite the media predicted, there is real progress on the korean peninsula.

the the presidents peace through strength strategy is working. it always works. appeasement doesn't work. bribing dictators 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 process 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 won't report under his administration, the u.s. issued sanctions against roughly 200 individuals and entities related to russia. other stinging economic sanctions against russia have also increased, and u.s. forces on the ground in syria inflicted heavy casualties during a skirmish earlier this year. an enormous embarrassment for vladimir putin. and 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. it's 24/7. with 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. there is, as you say, a new sheriff in town. let the president negotiate deals that obama was not capable of. and specifically, russia must stop coordinating with the iranian regime. they must stop supporting president assad in syria. they must stop meddling iney anybody's elections and bedl held accountable for their actions. the years of feckless leadership under obama is over. no more cargo planes full of

cash, and as president trump frequently says,an a good relationship with putin and russia, when you're not trying to bribe them, it is very positive. any hostile or aggressive actioo by putin's regime will be and should be met with strength, not appeasement. not bribery, not cash, notme 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.ut and by the way, reagan proved it to all of us. peace through strength works. diplomacy is important. trust but verify. and the american people, our safety and security, frankly, it is dependent on all of this. our kids, our grandkids. this 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. >> president trump: thank you very much you very much. to be you literally just finished a press conference with

president moments ago. a lot came up. you were very strong at the end of that press conference. you said, where are the servers? what about peter strzok said? what about the 33,000 emails? there was this mystery answer that surprised a lot of people. the president of russia, as it relates to the investigation. >> president trump: first of all, he said there was no collusion whatsoever. he said as strongly as you can say it, they have no information on trump. it was an interesting statements too prayed many years ago, when i was there, a long time ago, hd there were many, many business people there. in all fairness, i was a very successful businessman but i was one of a lot of people. one thing you know, if they had it, it would have been out. he said it's nonsense, that's right. he also says there is absolutely no collusion, which you know, and everybody that watches your show nose, and i think most of the country knows, and tucker

standing over there definitely knows, because he gets it. he's one of the people that get it. i will tell you that it was a really amazing time -- not about that. i think it's a shame, we are talking about nuclear proliferation, talking about syria and humanitarian aid, talking about all these different things, 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 was very, very strong. a let's talk about how the day went. you actually used the term four hours ago that changed, was it that quickly and that profound? >> president trump:l, we had a very good meeting, a very long meeting. we discussed so many different things. including nuclear, war and peace, economic, syria, ukraine, we talked about many, many things. and at the end of a long period

of time, i mean, it was just the two of us, and interpreters. and at the end of this meeting,l i think we really came to a lot of good conclusions, a really good conclusion for israel. something very strong. he is a believer in israel. he's a fan of bibi. 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 regime, and of course, iran, which is the number one state sponsor of terror, fomenting proxy wars. >> president trump: in syria, we are becoming very close, it will be a humanitarian situation, people will move back to syria from turkey and jordan at different places, they will move back. less so from europe but they will be moving back from lots of differenty places. so i really think we are not far apart on syria. i do think that on every hand he probably would have liked to

keep the deal in place because s good for russia. they do business -- it's good for a lot of the countries that do business with them but it is not good for our country and it's not good for the world. if you look at what is happening, is falling apart, they have rights in all their cities. the inflation is rampant and going through thepa roof, and nt that you want to hurt anybody, but that regime, we will 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 that all happens since i terminated that deal. so we'll see. >> sean: can you partner with russia to perhaps stop the fomenting of terror, stop the proxy t wars? was that discussed? >> president trump: it was. i think it would be a great thing if we could do it. you have some people saying, oh, you have to get involved with russia, but if we could stop killing all over the place, or terrorism, we discussed radical islamic terror at great length,

because they have the problem, too. we discussed basis, as you know, we've pretty much eradicated isis in the middle east. we've done a very strong job, we've acknowledged that. we discussed isis and the threat of isis. basically the threat ofof terrorism. >> sean: let me go to the issue of nuclear proliferation. 2021, the treaty needs to be extended, and also the inf -- he did bring up the idea of missile defense. were those issues discussed, and a did you make progress? >> president trump: at the very beginning, they are very important issues. to me, the most important issue is the nuclear issue. because i know president obama said that global warming is our biggest problem, and i would say that nuclear 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, that's 90% of the

nuclear weapons. and we have to do something. working on other countries. and he also said he wants to be very helpful with north korea. we are doing well 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's been no testing. there have been no nuclear explosion, which we would have known about. they have been no rockets going over japan, no missiles going over japan. and it has now been nine months, and the relationship is very good. you saw the nice letter he 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, you met with our nato allies. america pay $0.70 of every dollar, and a lot of people have not lived up to their commitment as it relates to that.

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, up to 70%. which i would argue, that would make them vulnerable. >> president trump: she's 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 ins nato and you do that. 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. i told people it's unfair. the united states could be paying for and i tell people it's unfair, 91%. could be. the united states could be paying 91%. m okay. could be. the minimum is 70%, but it iss probably 91%. so if we are paying 91% of the cost of keeping europe safe. so the european union takes total advantage of us withun tariffs and trade barriers. but they kill us onff 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. 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 -- >> sean: do you really believe the media would report that? >> president trump: i thought finally, i would have a great story. okay, foreign relations. i'm going to have a great story, and instead of saying that ite raise $44 billion, not million. $44 billion for nato, and into the future. they said that i treated the heads of other nations rough. and i didn't. i actually have great relationships with them. >> sean: when we come back, we'll continue from helsinki

♪ >> sean: welcome back to "hannity." as we continue from helsinki in finland, this is part two of my interview with president trump, moments after his press conference with vladimir putin. >> sean: in the lead up to the summit, you tweeted out that you were given the greatest city of moscow for retribution for all the sins, et cetera, russia. the media wouldf be asking why you didn't get to st. petersburg as well? >> president trump: i said if i got moscow as part of a deal, they would say, here's moscow, please pardon us, the soccer ball was really very nice. they did a great job in running that.

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

enemy of the people. aren't you really saying they are doing their job? >> president trump: when i am talking about enemy of the people, i'm not talking about all of the media. there is a big percentage of the media, when you look at cnn, how false their reports are. when you look at nbc and some of the others, when you read "the new york times," it's just a story after story after story that is just a negative spin. we are doing great things. we have the greatest economy inv the history of our country, the best on employment numbers in the history of our country, the best african-american unemployment numbers in our country, hispanic numbers inbe history, women's numbers and history -- >> sean: you have set records. record low unemployment. >> president trump: that's a disappointing number. >> sean: keep working hard.l, i think it will get there. the more amazing thing is we have more jobs available than we actually have people on unemployment. the labor participation rate in this country has never been higher. >> president trump: first time. >> sean: let me go back. i think everyone in the media is

so focused on this. in 2014 in "the washington times," devin nunes said with certainty that russia would try to impact the 2016 election. barack obama in the month before the 2016 elections -- and i will read and i will quote -- "no serious person would suggest that somehow you could even rake americans elections. no evidence that has happened in the past -- which is not true -- and that if it happened in this election." i invite mr. trump to stop whining and go out there and try to get votes." he said that two weeks before the election. >> president trump: he thought hillary clinton was going to win. he didn't want to do anything to disturb it. frankly, when i won, he said, this is the biggest deal. but before i won, he said, this is nothing and it can't happen. it's a very dishonest -- you have to find out who did peter strzok report to because it was comey and it was mccabe but it was also probably obama.

if you think that obama didn't know what was going -- when you watch -- i set it today with president putin. you watch peter strzok's performance,zo the lover of lisa page, when you watch that performance, the fbi, i will tell you, i know so many people in the fbi, these are incredible people, what they are going here watching this guy, a total phony, i mean,wa how about "we'l stop it," or something to that effect. >> sean: he said, we'll stop him.>> insurance policy. >> president trump: originally i guess it was the two of them. then he said the next day, well, i met the american people. even the democrats say, that doesn't work. >> sean: lisa page contradicted him and gave a more honest assessment. >> president trump: i heard she did a lot better and was honest, took a lot of our jobs, but at least she was honest about it. he's a disgrace to our country, it is grace to the great fbi, a disgrace. and how he is still being paid

is beyond belief. >> sean: did you like president putin's idea, robert mueller should go talk to him? >> >> president trump: i was fascinated by it. so we have a treaty where they work together with united states because everyone said we don't have an extradition treaty but they have a treaty where they work together and has prosecutors were prosecuted and he said that robert mueller's people could go with them but they probably would not want to. >> sean: interesting. >> president trump: 13 angry democrats, do you think they want to go? >> sean: of course, paid full andrew weissmann, was a pretty atrocious record. >> president trump: it's very sad what is happeningau to our country. we've never done while in so many ways including economically. when you see this thing going on -- i will tell you, it's driven a wedge between us and russia and maybe we've just knocked down that wedge -- but president putin seven, one of the early things he said when we started, he said it's really a

shame, we could do so much good,e whether it is humanitarian aid throughout the middle east, syria, the safety of nuclear, which is ultimately -- nothing bigger, nothing more important. and they drove a phony wedge, just a phony witch hunt, rigged deal with guys like peter strzok and comey and mccabe. >> sean:. strzok, paige. >> president trump: the whole group. you can imagine who else. it is a real shame. >> sean: there was russia interference. hillary paid through a law firm, and investigative group, fusion gps, they hired a foreign national that put together a russian dossier that was used to lie about you, which, by the way, putin confirmed that he did not have such information on n you. >> president trump: he knew exactly about it. it makes them angry when he sees it. it's very interesting, you look at what is happening, and he understood it, and he was -- i don't know if you could see it,

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 and bring a big investigation of those people, working together with russian investigators. >> sean: last question because i know you've got a>> lot to do and you just finished a busy day. you've now printed 21 countries since january of 2017. like north korea, you were very clear in saying, this is a process. where would you like to be in the year, both with north korea, and with russia? >> president trump: i think we are doing really well with russia as of today. i think we were doing horribly before today. dangerously -- >> sean: that dramatic? >> president trump: i think it was great today but i think it was really about five hours ago. i think we really had a potential problem. two nuclear nations. 90% of the nuclear power in the

world between these twole natio. we've had a phony witch hunt deal drive us apart. >> sean: this is the biggest wedge. >> president trump: it's the thing that he told me when he went in. heol said, what a shame. he felt it was very hard for me to make a deal because of, you know, all of this nonsense. you have to understand, you take a look, you look at all of these people, some were hackers, some of them -- 14 people, they had 12 people. 12 people involved in the campaign. they knew had many other people, some told a lie, you look at flynn, it's a shame. but the fbi didn't think he was lying. with paul manafort, who really is a nice man. you look at what is going on with him. it is like al capone. >> sean: 2005 tax case. >> president trump: a case that i guess is very old. esther is a sad thing. it's a very sad thing for our country to see this.

>> sean: mr. president, thank you very much. >> president trump: thank you very much. i appreciate it. >> sean: when we come back from helsinki, finland, sebastian gorka, sara carter, daniel hoffman, all react to my interview with president trump entities summit with president trump and putin.

marco: there's a lot of fear of coming back to school. i wasn't sure if i could do it. i'm a 40-year-old man that walked in there to get his high school diploma. it was very hard for me but the teachers, the counselors they help you. one of the teachers was ms. araceli. ms. araceli she gave me direction. every single time i had a question, she'll put down whatever she's doing and she'll come over and she'll sit there with you until you get it. thank you ms. araceli, i know you make a difference in people's lives because the person and teacher you are. i wanted to be here because i wanted to thank for helping me get a beautiful gift. fifty-percent of getting your high school diploma is walking through those doors. the other fifty-percent is doing the work. getting your high school diploma,

it is a life-changing experience. it really is. narrator: find free adult education classes near you at finishyourdiploma.org >> translator: once again, president trump mentioned issues of the so-called i interferencef russia in the american election said i had to reiterate things i said to several times, including during our personal conduct, what the russian state has never interfered andrf is not going to interfere into internal american affairs, including election process. any specific material, if such things arise, we are ready to analyze together. >> sean: that was vladimir putin earlier today denying russian interference in the 2016 election.

here now with reaction, onsetit the author of the book "why we fight" -- she's actually in washington, fox news national security strategist, sebastian gorka. ed henry. sara carter. daniel hoffman. sara, i want to start with you. does the media on the left in this country -- they are in the middle of what can only be described as a collective meltdown, starting with john brennan calling this summit treasonous. nancy pelosi, jeff flake. here's the reality. if vladimir putin had with a set, it would happen out by now. there is no way. but it doesn't stop the conspiracy theories. and the idea that somehow, that president trump, who's not dropping $150 billion in cash and other currency on a variety of issues, the two biggest nuclear powers, is a bad thing, without the bribery, i'm happy.

>> a terrorist nation like iran, moving money to iran, when everyone knew that the iranians are probably one of the most aided and abetted terrorists throughout the globe, the killing of americans, ex-extraordinary. now theyli are going after them. let me go back to brennan. it's extraordinary to me that the ex-cia director called the president of the united states' actions treasonous when his actions border on sedition. >> sean: they voted for a communist, a former communist, now became the cia director under obama. by the way, all of this happened on their watch. we need to remind everybody. all ofbo it. >> very dangerous. >> in the obama administration, he may have things to hide over the fisa warrant of carter page, the intelligence -- you seem to have something -- the dossier, how that was handled, i get all that. i heard your monologue very closely. i think you're right that peter strzok us things to answer for.

i think where's the dnc server as the president said, all of that can be true -- >> sean: and the 33,000 emails -- >> it also may be true that not a single action by russia changed a single vote. so there was no impact on the president winning fair and square. i will give you all that. nonetheless, sean, the president missed a golden opportunity today. i've got to be direct and saying, and having vladimir putin there, and just to his face saying, knock it off. >> sean: it doesn't mean it affected the election. i justct interviewed the presidt by the president said it did come up. here's the problem, it happened in a bar '08, it's happened, as everybody in congressve has as s happened before, and it would probably have them again. but for barack obama to say no serious personer will say this n happen, that was two weeks before the election -- >> john brennan and barack obama have a lot to answer for. president trump had a chance to say enough is enough. >> sean: you were not in the room with him. that's the point.

i'm all in favor. i thought this was interesting, the president is saying, putin had a i good idea, let mueller's people go interview them. it all for it. by the way, the same barack obama that tried to oust the israeli prime minister, benjamin netanyahu, through election interference, as if this doesn't happen everywhere, every day, as rand paul has sai said. >> i think the concern -- >> sean: very thoughtful. [laughter] >> my concern is this. the president's own dni director, dan coats, has said this is tim is blinking red. he's really concerned about election meddling in 2018. i agree with ed, there was an opportunity to throttle putin right in front of all of us today. i just -- i wonder whether that was a missed opportunity for the president. >> sean: the president, dr. gorka, was very clear in saying, this has been the biggest wedge between the two

countries. nobody knows what was set privately between them. putin is denying it. the idea that t he has somethin. here is the most important part that we have to get into, h and that is, at some point, we need to have the specific evidence and the double standard is glaring in this particular case, as it relates to the servers, 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. >> let me address the question of how everybody is reacting to the press or on the left. the first, a reminder with regards to what you mentioned earlier. john brennan, who is accusing the president of being a traitor, voted for the communist party at the height of the cold warco in 1976, when the soviet union actually wanted to destroy america. that is treasonous.

a 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. let me just put this on the record. with regard to the reactions to today's summit, it's a little bit like the strzok testimony. use the unveiling of the deep state last week with strzok's testimony. today the release of the depths of the mainstream media. no one in that room behave like a journalist. they were like members of moveon.org or the resistance. the idea that we had a 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 shambolic. >> sean: we'll take a break. mark from helsinki, finland, as

♪ >> sean: as we continue from helsinki, finland, we continue with dr. sebastian gorka, ed henry, sara carter, daniel hoffman. let me go back to what 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? why double standard and rightly tough on peter strzok, who frankly, every fbi guy i know feels that he has hurt the institution that they love and has served even in the wow delhe mcgivern either in the past or presently. look at where this has taken us. 18 months, where's the evidence? >> look's at how far we have co.

because had president trump not won the election, we would have known none of this, sean, it's a very important point. why did the fbi refused to look at that server. whyat was it sent over to a private company? where is the informatione that was contained on that server? the brothers were directly connected to pakistan. a lot of information that they were connected to pakistani intelligence. >> sean: a huge massive double standard. >> it could be connected to the russians. this is a very important story that is not beinghe paid attentn to. >> sean: dr. gorka? >> there was one thing that everyone needs to be aware of an amber homee again and again and again. donald trump, and the last year and a half,f, has never had them anything. think about it. even in his private discussions within director, fbi director jim comey, he said, i want you to look into this, look into this. he hasn't hit anything. when it comes to reductions?

-- when it came to reductions, he wanted all of the right actions be removed. but look at how the democrats reacted to peter strzok and congress last week. they wanted to protect him desperately. they said, to louie gohmert, take your meds. >> sean: there was russian collusion. by the way, probably on levels we don't even know. we need -- we knew it, it's happened in past elections, and we knew it, that they were going to try come in 2014, devin nunes said, you haveav devoted your le to the cia, and this ought to be something that we get a handle of. here is your point. julian assange 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 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 take a look at it from his eyes, from the kremlin. that is why i believe that if thean president had said, look, vladimir, we know you meddled in the election. i'm not asking if you did, we know you did. if you continue to do it -- >> sean: why do you think he didn't do it? >> maybe he did it privately but i think it would've been good to hold him accountable publicly. let me just finish quickly with my thought. we should -- >> sean: what is that due to our future relations? i will embarrass you on the world stage and will never talk again, nuclear proliferation, syria -- >> let me finish my thought real quick. we have a multifaceted relationship with the russians. going back in the second world war, we collaborated against nazi germany. at the same time the soviets were stealing our nuclear secrets. we collaborate in the same time, they are targeting us aggressively and we need to counter this discussion --

>> sean: they are a hostile regime and he's a hostile act or on the world stage. everyoneor should be aware of that. here's the thing that nobody picked up on. basically he said to angela merkel, you are a fool for becoming energy dependent on russia. we'll give you the energy. by the way, that is the biggest -- >> 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 was he not bold enough to also stand approved vladimir putin? >> but he did. >> sean: thank you, guys. good to see you in helsinki. g you are buying drinks. when we come back, more "hannity." straight ahead. ♪ ooh, heaven is a place on earth ♪
