donald trump's failure to confront vladimir putin of this meddling in the election, so meaning that vladimir thinks he has the upper hand. >> so very quickly because we are short on time. if the president of the united states is not standing up to vladimir putin and congress has done all about its cannot, who stands up to him? >> i think congress can do so and we can implement sanctions on time which will stooart to sd a clear message. all right, samantha. thank you for joining us. >>> it is been one week during the deadly shooting at sutherland springs. >>> to mention james clapper and john brennan is going to be responding to the president's comment that it is tomorrow morning at 9:00 a.m., state of the union on cnn. as i mentioned it is been near aweek since the deadly shootings in texas church, the church is preparing to reopen their sanctuary tomorrow as we take a look at live pictures from sutherland springs, texas. the gunman's ex-wife is sharing shocking details of how he treated her. we have a live report there, next. work keeps me busy. so i've asked chase sapphire reserve cardmemb

. >>> overseas today, a new conversation between president trump and vladimir putin about election meddling. president trump said putin adamantly denied meddling and that he believes what putin said. that conversation taking place during what the white house is describing as a meeting of no more than five minutes or so on the sidelines at the asia summit. >>> meanwhile, a new report on the hill claims cia director mike pompeo is standing by the agency's determination that russia indeed ran an influence campaign to help donald trump win the white house. chris jansing is joining us from hanoi, vietnam, with more details on this. another welcome to you on this late night for you certainly. what more are you learning about this conversation between putin and trump? >> reporter: well, it only lasted less than five minutes, according to sarah sanders, but it's causing a lot of controversy back home. you mentioned that statement from mike pompeo. it's because the president of the united states is siding with vladimir putin, who says that the interference never happened, siding with vladimir putin

what's not to like if you're vladimir putin?rt of sounds like he's one of us. >> we will build a great wall. >> narrator: as trump closed in on the nomination, he assembled a team with connections to moscow. >> if you were putin, you see trump hiring and reaching out to a series of political advisers who have similar sympathies and/or links to russia. you see the campaign manager, paul manafort, who worked for pro-russia ukrainian parties. and then this relatively obscure national security adviser named carter page, who is much more amenable to moscow than some of the hawks. you add into that michael flynn, the national security adviser, who putin had dinner with in moscow. just all of those links, from moscow's perspective, they had to be thinking, "wow, this is someone, at the very least, we can do business with." >> narrator: vladimir putin had another, special reason to be interested in the election. >> hillary clinton is trying to lock down the democratic nomination. >> narrator: hillary clinton. >> we've had some very toug

alexei navalny said that the difference is that vladimir putin has not helped my family, because vladimirmily, because vladimir putin was the protege of your family. i am sorry to disappoint you and the disappoint alexei navalny but it is better to say that vladimir putin was a protege of my father. i father was a protege of my father. i father was an m was a protege of my father. i father was anm 0 u... was a protege of my father. i father was an m o u... when was a protege of my father. i father wasanmou... whena was a protege of my father. i father was an m o u... when a vladimir putin was a junior official... no one helped my father whatsoever. it is my father who helped putin to work with him and putin was one of the people he worked with. but i was attending his old at this time. why have you always avoided saying putin himself was deeply corrupt, as navalny puts it, the father of russian corruption? you have never attacked putin personally, when boris nemtsov was assassinated, and many critics of putin said putin was behind it, you said absolutely not, thatis behind it, you said ab

he said he had two shourt conversations with vladimir putin here.sts and the press about the allegations of russian meddling in the u.s. election and he repeated that he says putin deniedden denied it. "every time he sees me, he said he did not do that. i really believes what he tells me and he means it." he said, "i did not do that." president trump hearing denial from president trump. his siding with the kremlin when it comes to the charges that russia meddle in the u.s. election. when former intelligence chief got on the record when there was meddling in the u.s. election, president trump and his latest interaction with journalists, he called those people a political hack. he can work with russia on a number of areas, syria and ukraine and arguing that if he can gate better relationship with moscow that he will make progress with north korea like he's making progress with china right now and that these political problems and accusations of meddling in the election are getting in the way of that. >> christie and victor. >> all right, ivan watson r

vladimir lenin quite literally cult viewing. vladimir lenin had not wanted this.ssed a wish to be buried alongside his mother in st petersburg. it is one of the ironies of russia's revolution, that the man who led it, who waged war on the church, who once said that there can be nothing more abominable than religion — that this man, lenin, ended up the closest thing communists had to god — put on display here in the mausoleum and deified like a soviet saint. 100 years after lenin's revolution might be the time to consign the mausoleum to history and commit his body to the ground. i believe that he should be buried, and not, as some say because he deserves a christian funeral, because he was not a christian, he was anti—christian — but simply because i believe that it is a symbol of the revolution, and should find its appropriate place, not in red square. over our dead body, says the communist party. if lenin is buried one day, this man's services may be required. his company makes decorative funeral accessories, such as crucifixes and coffin handles. there is an ir

earlier today, the president says he spoke with vladimir putin of the election 2016 election, presidentrump says putin denied the allegations and the president says he believes him. the two leaders chatted informally so far. >> gel zeleny and matthew chang is live with us in nanang. tell us what the president said regarding his discussion with president trump. >> reporter: good morning, the president says he's done talking about the russian meddling in the election. he was trying to move forward to other issues. he briefed with reporters here in nanang to hanoi here. he talked about the briefing here in nanang. he says that look, he believes he's taking vladimir putin at his words that the russians did not meddle in the election. >> now t president said this n an off camera briefing arrest force one to reporters, lets look, every time he sees me, he says "i did do that". i really believe him. the president is sticking to the fact that vladimir putin that he did not meddle in the election. there is still this discretion cloud that hangs in the administration which makes it an issue here.

[inaudible] >> i think vladimir putin is clever in terms of playing to mr. trump's interest in being flattered. also i think mr. trump is, for whatever reason, either intimidated or afraid of what he could do or what might come out as a result of these investigations so it's very worrisome, and i think it sends a disturbing signal to our allies and partners who are concerned about russian interference in their democratic process as well. >> rick, the president actually called me yesterday morning to talk about his meeting and he told me they met on the sidelines of the aipac conference only very briefly and he didn't want to spend that entire time arguing about whether or not russia meddled in the election because there are other important issues like what to do about syria and north korea that he needed to talk about. he basically said he listened to what he said and moved on to other issues. >> is just going to ask you, if the white house, and i guess president trump himself is disappointed that so much attention is being focused on the words about vladimi

it is clear vladimir putin doesn't want to admit he's involved. i think the situation the president was in with him today, at a photo op in the summit, it wasn't the right place for him to really push and push and push on this issue. i think it was right that he did ask him if he meddled in the election. i think he clearly asked him a few times and vladimir putin denied it repeatedly. i think the problem is when he says that he believes what vladimir putin said e maybe he didn't directly do it or directly oversee it, but clearly we all know they did. i think a bigger takeaway from the little conversation he did have with putin was that they did make some headway and move the ball down the field with regard to isis specifically in se syria and at the president said he got russia to pull out of syria. so i think we all knew what was going to happen with russia, we wouldn't get any further on that but the fact woo he did make progress with regard to defeating isis, that is the big takeaway from the conversation. >> juliette, a couple of questions for

he did talk to reporters on air force one and he said specifically about his conversation with vladimir putin, he said he had a brief conversation. i am going to read you some quotes that we had from president trump. this was off camera. this was just some comments the president made. putin said this, he did not medel and he did not. you can only ask him so many times. he absolutely did not meddal in the election. every time he sees me, i believe him. >> victor, this is a bit of a sound track of the last several months of the trump's presidency. the reality is, all u.s. intelligence agencies agreed there was. the fact that the president is still asking if he did is beyond the point there. without question, sort of the meeting, the brief meeting two leaders had. president trump went onto say, the reason he wants a good working relationship with vladimir putin is with north korea. he wants putin help to confront the regime along with china so this is why trump is not questioning the meddling. this is similar to them meeting earlier this summer at the g-20 summit where president trump agre

jonathan, vladimir putin or rather president trump asking vladimir putin whether he metal instead thisaid he asked him a few times. are you surprised that the president even asked. is it not surprising that putin would deny it. >> there's certainly a contradiction here between the president saying this is something that only democrats are concerned about and then saying he brought it up with vladimir putin. so if he brought it up with putin, there was a reason for that. i'm not terribly surprised he says he believes what putin said only because to call the russia president a liar to the american press probably wouldn't be helpful for that relationship with russia that he's boasting about. not clear at the moment whether russia is getting the better end of the relationship or united states is. it's odd as chris just pointed out that the kremlin was the one to release a joint statement from the united states and russia. >> on syria, yes. kevin, i want to ask you. president trump says he believes putin's denials with respect to the election metaling question. jonathan answered this, but w

vladimir putin is a former kgb agent. around the world he is regarded as a strong man, long accused of squashing opponents. should the american people take vladimir putin at his word the way president trump seems to be doing? >> i think that is a huge stretch. we have seen the president having been on one side of the issue flip right before our eyes to the other side of the issue and said he is sort of aligning himself with the american intelligence community because it was rather implausible the other way aroundism i think that the notion that a significant intelligence agency that deals in plausible denieblt that if you can get by with it it is okay should in one way or another be the soul of honesty and truth and that somehow the president can see into this man's mind and heart to say he really believed what he was saying to me is a stretch beyond a stretch. i don't see how in any way at all this is taking this anywhere. i agree with john brennan it is extremely important that we find a way to deal with some of the pro

bush after looking at vladimir putin i to isaac was able to get a sense of his soul. what is different about president trump trying to have a cordial relationship with vladimir putin? >> i think that is a great question. i think it is something we are all trying to figure out. it is clear that trump feels that putin and russia could have a benefit, particularly with the situation in north korea. and addressing isis. which interesting, how different those views are that some of his republican congresses or congress members on the hill. so there is a challenge that he faces. it is interesting that he is saying these things. know donald trump is not known for you know they say he is not afraid to speak out against things but on this issue on russia, he continues to be more measured, i am nothing is a bad thing but a lot different on how he is with other issues where a lot of leaders, intelligence officials feel it's a big threat. >> and watching the president on the stage of first appearing to dismiss the conclusions of the us intelligence agencies that russia had a soph

he repeated what vladimir putin said.in an interview that he agrees, he sides with our intelligence community. he says that he -- that -- all he said was putin said it, he means what he says. he didn't say he agrees with him. and i think his point that, you know, we need to work with world leaders. it used to be democrats encouraging us to work with the soviet union and find common ground. now because of the scandal everyone is on the other side and the russians are the worst people in the world when eight years ago hillary clinton and barack obama wanted to do a reset with them. so for the average trump voter, they're looking at this as purely politics, as nothing to do with the substance of the matter. it's just about getting donald trump. >> i see it differently, surprisingly. >> surprisingly enough. >> i think trump is very well aware of the sentiment out there that was expressed in the cnn poll that was issued earlier this past week, which says that two-thirds of americans, including a lot of republicans, are really

he does believe -- vladimir putin. he believes president vladimir putin. earlier this morning, trump told reporters aboard air force one en route to hanoi, "absolutely did not meddle in our election. he did not do what they're saying he did. every time he sees me he said he didn't do that and i believe, i rail believe when he tells me that he means it." but he said, "i didn't do that." hard to read donald trump's words. joining me, msnbc national security analyst and former prosecutor, and executive director of the asymmetrics project, and a journalist and scholar of authoritarian states and a democrat congressman sits on the house intelligence committee. just made you a senator, congressman, and go to you anyway as your formatter capacity as a congressman. donald trump, did you think you would live to see the day? phrase it this way. when the president of the united states would take the word of a former kgb agent and autocrat vladimir putin over the word of lis own u.s. intelligence services? >> joy, it just makes you ask, who is he not willing to betray

so what's preventing him from meeting officially with vladimir putin?kly, i don't find that to be true. i don't find any reason why they couldn't have had a more full meeting when they were over there. i don't understand donald trump's comments. they met three times during this meeting in vietnam. and originally h.r. mcmaster had come out and said they were still trying to sort out the meeting. it seemed a lot like the run up to the g-20 summit in hamburg where they were unwilling to say what kind of meeting. in fact, they came out and said the two would not meet because of conflict and schedules, then we find out they've had three encounters, side discussions, and they're even going to issue a joint statement on syria. so they are trying to evade the press to some degree on this. >> steve, i've got to get this in real quick. i want to ask you about kim jong-un, who's been a big discussion point. why do you think kim jong-un has not conducted a missile test in 58 days? >> i think china is having an effect. i think china is basically putting it to kim jo

the president also said he intends to meet with russian president vladimir putin. is steve clemens, washington editor at large at atlantic magazine and msnbc contributor and steve we have heard from the president a couple of times since he landed in japan. what do you think he's hoping to accomplish on this trip? >> i think right now the number one objective is to show that america is not wobbly in the asia pacific or what they're now calling the indo-pacific. they're trying to include india in excuses of asia pacific which is a way to show china that we have options and also to kind of resolidify our relationships, all those that might have doubts in donald trump or his commitment, not only on north korea, but to be there as a trading force, to be there as a security force permanently, and not to pull back from that. that is his biggest objective. i think the other part of this is to achieve some step forward on the denuclearization in north korea. and to not look crazy about it. i mean, as i think chris jansing was saying earlier to try to communicate that preemp

intelligence community's assessment but defend vladimir putin when vladimir putin has not offered himind of proof that he did not hack the election, he only said, well, we didn't do it. and in all of my experience reporting on russia it's really unlikely that you would look at a former a kgb agent in the face and ask him about something incriminating and he would say, yeah, i did it. it's really -- it's confusing as to why trump continues to take putin's word for this and that is something that will have to be investigated further. eric: we don't know if the president's takes putin word. he believes that and there are two tracks of thought. one, let's go with one, has to do with the fact that some -- some people say that this could delegitimize or have that view or the president may view it that way of the election that, if, indeed, the russians did tip any votes, look, you're dealing with international affairs, there are other things going on such as syria, you have to have these types of agreements, international relations and that takes a preponderance of effort far beyond what the

vladimir putin denied it.sident trump in talking with reporters said he believed that putin believed that he meant the denial. he was asked to clarify and he sided with his intelligence chiefs notably the current makeup of intel chiefs. throwing a little bit of shade on the past officials under the obama administration. but remember, all the officials came up with the same intelligence assessment, that russia did interfere with the election, that it was russia's fault. i want to play you a little bit of what the president had to say about that. >> i believe in our intel agencies, our intelligence agencies. i've worked with them very strongly. there weren't 17 as was previously. there were actually four. but they were saying there was 17. there was actually four. but as currently led by fine people, i believe very much in our intelligence agencies. >> president there in hanoi talking about the situation with russia. the other big topic that will come up when he's in the philippines when we're talking about the

do you want to see vladimir putin put on trial?uption in russia. of course, yes. including mr putin? also, i have a very important goal which i have to reach, with navalny or without navalny. i want to build in russia a party after those elections. a strong party, with strong leadership, which for six next years can come to the next presidential elections with a really big result, in order to have evolution and not revolution of the system. it is not accusations harsh on a person. it is accusations with fact, which should be placed. this is what i think is very important. what did you really mean when you said this — "a higher transfer of power, the likes of which mr navalny is advocating, is a dead end"? you say that your ideal transformation would be led by democratic politicians that mr putin can trust, like for example, former deputy pm alexei kudrin. you seem to be saying that actually you prefer putin in power, with some technocrats around him, and more liberal advisers. this is not what i meant. then you would want mr navaln

that's what vladimir putin is hoping will happen. in fact one of the strongest messages to send to vladimir putin is, you know, you're the source of the problem, not somebody that we need to cooperate with so much to resolve our very difficult issues, to include north korea. >> gayle, very quickly, the president's 12-day trip almost over. what grade would you give him so far? >> i think we -- stay tuned, right? it's not quite finished. i think what you see the president try to do is on the russia front is this conscious uncoupling in the policy version, which is we can work with them on syria, we can work with them on ukraine, and on everything else we're going to have an issue. but this is all while members of congress are actively investigating what role russia played in the 2016 elections and two members of congress i spoke with this week were talking about worrying about 2018. so i think as much as some might want to turn the page, we have not yet heard the end of the story. and while i do think the president has worked to earn a

of this issue with north korea, that he's looking for vladimir putin's with north korea. obviously, christy, because of the russia investigation that's going back on in washington, that isn't going to be the only story line when it comes to that image, when you finally see president trump and vladimir putin come face-to-face, that image is going to reverberate around the world. because obviously these are two men who, you know, you don't hear president trump talking about vladimir putin a great deal. and one of the things -- one of the criticisms of president trump that's come up time and again is that he just doesn't criticize vladimir putin very much. and that's always been treated somewhat of a curiosity ever since donald trump was handed over as president and now he's been in office. and because of the russia investigation ramping back up in washington, the issue of russia is going to be hanging over this president with this foreign trip. and i think it's going to make a great deal of news and be fascinating to watch because of that undercurrent that is really just a

he is vladimir lenin's great great grand nephew. one idea, stanislav says, is to bury lenin in the mausoleum, to satisfy those who think he should lie in the ground and those who think he should stay put. vladimir lenin is little more than a museum piece now to most russians, a curiosity, a relic of a lost world. steve rosenberg, bbc news, moscow. laura: let's return to our top story tonight, the fatal incident in new york city, which is being investigated as an act of terrorism. we now know at least 8 people have been killed. these college students were in class as the commotion began in lower manhattan. >> we were having class, and a couple of my classmates heard the shots, and we went to the window and saw two of the bodies lying down. we saw one in the bike lane, and a second body was next to a tree. we saw the police and and events and people were like they were running. we saw the guy huddle up. bunch of bicycles on the floor. it was really chaotic. >> [indiscernible] >> are good, like, 4. 4 bicycles. >> did it surprise you? >

vladimir putin doesn't want to be your friend.est you can do is keep him close to your vest by maintaining a dialogue. everything that vladimir putin believes in is not in the interests of the united states. his desire is to disrupt u.s. society, having us doubting our own election system, having us increasingly polarized, and it's gravy if he gets to actually help pick our president. but the number one goal is to disrupt us, and that's what he's done and that's what he continues to do. the sooner that president trump understands that, the better off we'll all be. >> daniel, isn't there a way to work with putin in regards to syria or regards to north korea while not necessarily trusting him and haven't presidents in the past done exactly that? isn't that what our intelligence agencies do every single day? >> yeah, if you consider our relationship with russia like a venn diagram with a little shaded space where we work together and unshaded space where we don't, we see the world differently. vladimir putin has propped up the assad

vladimir putin says the russians didn't meddle in the u.s. election so that settles it. is that really the position of president trump this evening? the president repeatedly seemed to take the russian leader's side over america's own intelligence community. the president told reporters, quote, "every time putin sees me, he says i didn't do that and i really believe that when he tells me that, he means it." it's a pretty safe bet that every u.s. intelligence agency also meant it when they concluded that russia did meddle in last year's election with the goal of help being white house.te trump win the - today the cia is defending that finding telling cnn the director stands by and has always stood by the january 2017 intelligence community assessment entitled "assessing russian activities and intentions in recent u.s. elections." the intelligence assessment with regard to russian election meddling has not changed." the president on his 13-day asia trip. not only do we have this to cover, sarah, but now some absolutely extraordinary statements made from the president. we'll

and this president continues to side with vladimir putin. think hillary clinton, and i know she's much a lined, she said it best when she said donald trump will turn out to be vladimir putin puppet. and that's what he's turned out to be. >> and we can't help but understand what the huge, tony, the huge back drop right now with developments coming out of msnbc and our reporting here on the russian investigation and what mueller is doing at the moment, moving surgically through his investigation, trying to g trying to get michael flynn to come his way and more information potentially from michael flynn. is this clearly what president trump is aiming at to discredit reports that putin led some sort of meddling with our election in 2016? >> of course. it's all about casting doubt on a lot of this investigation. but to go back to the question you asked to start this segment about whether there is actual evidence of russian meddling, look no further than sites like facebook and twitter, which twitter uses, there has been report after report russia
