some point and he's called himself a test case. he said at some point it will become his inability to accept the premise of what russia did and could cause him and others to support the president's agenda on other items even if they agree with it. that's what he's risking here with what he's done with putin. >> i wanted to ask you that because when we look at the tweets this morning and a the president saying he did press the russian president on this, he did not say, and he has not come out and said and recognized that russia has interfered in the election. he stopped short of doing that. what is it the significance of this? i know that you spoke with former cia director john brennan. >> oh, he did. he was very critical of the president just use the phrase it's an honor to meet you referring to vladimir putin. he said there's -- he said essentially there's nothing honorable about what vladimir putin did. it's a
