vladmir putin was deeply offended to be thrown out of the g-8 because of his annexation and the wholeaine policy. you know, putin's winning with trump in office. >> speaking of him, in fact, more favorably and kim jong-un more favorably than the allies, you know, macron and canada today and the e.u. >> the contrast between the way he talks about our allies, france, canada, and the way he one of the worst lears in s recent wld hto is one of the amazing things about this president. >> yeah, there was so many different topics. i'm going to try to go through more of them. to me, this was a supremely confident president trump walking onto marine one. he was going to answer whatever you asked him. he felt 100% sure that what he said wasn't going to be controversi controversial. at least if it was, he was proud to say it. he talked about james comey in harsh words. what stuck out to you? >> overall i share your impression there. this is somebody who is very happy with the way he's positioned himself as he hits the world stage, both at the g-7 and in singapore. he seems pleased with where he'

even vladmir putin gets in on the act.elsea clinton of being married to soros' nephew who is this george soros. he's a hungarian billionaire. it's the invisible hand that funds the left and manipulates vents. with a quick google search he's head of the injuryijewish mafia. he's paid women accusers to loi abouroymoe. he controls much of the media and intellectual left in the united states. you wonder how he has time for that. even vladmir putin says soros is trying to destroy the euro zone. he was accused of profiting off of catastrophes. those are facts. it was likely his opposition to the iraqar thateeo fire up on the right who blame soros for pretty much everything. be right back. man 1: this is my body of proof. woman 1: proof of less joint pain... woman 2: ...and clearer skin. woman this is my body of proof. n 2: thight psoriatic arthritis... woman 4: ...with humira. woman 5: humira targets and blocks a specific source of inflammation that contributes to both joint and skin symptoms. it's proven to help relieve pain, s

vladmir putin is likely thrilled to hear president trump say this.uch an invitation to re-create the g-8, but rather because it's yet another rift between president trump and some of america's oldest and staunchest allies. you have the president sparring with french president macron and the canadian prime minister justice trudeau. the president has sort of broken from them when it comes to the iran nuclear deal or the paris climate accord. so there are a number of fronts where the united states is pursuing this america first agenda that president trump has laid out. much to the chagrin of some of america's allies and to the delight of vladmir putin. we should point out, russia has done little to atone for its aggressive acts around the world. not only the invasion and annexation of crimea, which ultimately led to their departure from the g-8, but also just this year with the chemical attack on an ex-russian spy in the uk. we'll keep our eye out for any discussion of russia today. plenty to watch for here in quebec. >> absolutely. thank you so much, b

. >> reporter: for his part, sl vladmir putin wanted to divide the union saying the eu is his biggestesses that putin is starting to show especially domestically. those were caused by president trump's retaliation against them. is that right? >> that's light. we have to point that out in fairness to mr. president trump. t the sanctions imposed on several russian oligarchs. those sanctions have angered those men and could turn them against putin. the sanctions denied many of those oligarchs. >>> breaking news, the special counsel issues a new indictment with paul manafort. slapping him and a russian associate with conspiracy charges. is there a connection to russian intelligen intelligence? ♪ most people come to la with big dreams. ♪ we came with big appetites. with expedia, you could book a flight, hotel, car, and activity all in one place. ♪ and my brother ray and i started searching for answers.

vladmir putin won't face this kind of media.media determined to give one side of the political aisle back in power. xi won't face this media in his country. kim jong-un won't face media. manipulating public in regular way. this has to be make a difference in the rift in negotiations. >> our media used to be in the center. you could be right of center, left of center. now what we're seeing in europe, often criticize european media, bbc. in the news line, they are objective. they say exactly what the facts are. analytical line, opinion line, that is a different story. what happened to our mainstream opposition media. it completely shifted as it was a political party, dealing with the issues. charles: the economist is the same sort of thing. read it in the beginning. get the facts, don't en t the rest of the magazine. obituaries are still good. walid, what does victory look like for president trump in the meeting? >> i am very modest in my assessment. i followed this thoroughly in the campaign where the north koreans are going to a

that's something that vladmir putin does.ald trump follows suit rhetorically and in practice. >> mike murphy, one of the mistakes of the hype ventilating, overreaction of donald trump is there's no proportion and a lot of other people around the country say may some of this is bad but is it all the worst thing ever. when you remove the t word and look at how people feel about demoacy. 79 pr 79% of americans which include consvatives concerned about the condition of democracy in america. you're view of the points that were raised. >> well,n the poll first. i think it's very telling. we're into tribal politics is i'm right. you're evil. i can do or say anything about you because i'm fighting evil. totally cheapens dialogue because there's no argument. i think that's bad thing for democracy. i'm happy to see people are hip to it. i'm not quite there on the unified field theory about trump and putin but i agree that trump had autocratic tendencies. i don't think he studies the presidency. he thinks his job is to where you shall c

vladmir putin has done that very successfully in russia and i think donald trump is trying to do it in the united states. the media have a responsibility but democrats have a responsibility to call that out. to try to get on the -- to separate truth from fiction but also prosecute an affirmative case about the fact that what he is attempting to do from policy perspective take health care away, raise premiums and they have different alternatives. not just give tax cuts to the very wealthy but focus on the middle class and try to get their wages going. that's what the democrats need to do going into november. there's a lot of enthusiasm to do that. i think as we've seen in the primaries people are coming out. we have seen a lot of women candidates being successful. i look forward to a very strong result come november 2018. >> sheehe seems to feel he has t midterm issue with his embrace of kim jong-un and ending the nuclear threat. >> if he thinks he's ended the nuclear threat then he's live ng a more bizarre world than i had given him credit for, i guess. that one page of essential lly t

because they saw donald trump and vladmir putin have been putting on a scheme to rob hillary clintonf the election? or is it because people in government did not like donald trump becoming president of the united states. joining me right now republican congressman from arizona, andy biggs. representative biggs, so good to have you here. why do you think it is? why do you think we're dealing with the mueller probe when it's clear that there was very apparent bias there in washington, d.c., against the now president? >> well, we're dealing with the mueller probe as you say, you have the guy who is basically running the hillary clinton investigation, peter strzok, he hates donald trump, he wants hillary clinton to be the president. you have the director, mr. comey, and he is, who knows where he is. he is off the reservation. he is insubordinate, doing his own thing, he says he manipulated, he said this previously, he manipulated to get a special counsel there of robert mueller to investigate trump. trish: he openly admitted that. >> yeah. so what you've got going on here is this corrupt

vladmir putin knew that had he used conventional forces to invade america it would have been mutual suicide. so what did he do? he used trump's economic or financial situation, this flailing company needed money, no american banks would loan him money, so putin and the olegarks loaned him money, got im financially indebted to them and now trump is their operatives.hearts this is where i agree with donald trump about the media being fake. the media says them and now trump is their operatives. my second point. the people who die- that donald trump touched the heart and knows the working class white people. and that's why he won. well, this is the thing. these people are not the forgotten people because black people see them every february during black history month in eyes on the prize. this -- host: thanks for call. i want to go back to the first point. with regard to russia and donald trump. the president has -- guest: i don't know -- go ahead host: the president has not released his tax returns and some seem to indicate that there could be potentially maybe a link between his finances and

this administration hasn't used language like that about vladmir putin or that kind of name calling and for larry kudlow to say the u.s. won't be pushed around or there won't be a show of american weakness, not really clear how these words on the part of the canadian prime minister justin trudeau would show american weakness. he didn't say much different th what he has said before regarding the u.s. tariffs. he said they won't be pushed around by the u.s. on this. it seems like what president trump is conveying to the world is how easy for him to get worked up over some of these things. in some of the statements today it was said that the president only showed up at the g7 as a favor to justin trudeau and he has bigger things on his plate. if that's the case, why is he going on and on attacking the canadian prime minister? why is he so worked up over a few statements, for the most part we've heard before in this press conference? they called the press conference a stunt and sophomoric play. it was president trump who imposed tariffs on the first place. lastly, he's going into this pivot

wouldn't we get anxious if we see them cozying up to vladmir putin?nt, who can be very mercurial on this stuff, you and i had good, friendly discussions. now you're cozying up to vl happen. d and i'm not happy? >> we should be cautious of that relationship because russia is looking to throw more kinks in our plans. for them not in their interest, their interests to have china, u.s., north korea to be a little adversarial. they may not be interested in total stability on the have minutesla. we need to monitor and talk with north korea and china, let them know we're not happy. neil: commander, thank you for this. thank you for your service to this country as well. >>> we're getting dribs and drabs on the inspector general report, what james comey knew, when he knew it, and whether he was showboating. a lot of interesting stuff coming up. >> ... benjamin franklin captured lightning in a bottle. over 260 years later as the nation's leader in energy storage we're ensuring americans have the energy they need, whenever they need it nextera energy. that's it.

a sieve yet we heard nothing at all compelling that would lead anyone to believe that somehow vladmir putinnd donald trump were planning in some back room, you know, in moscow somewhere to take the election from hillary clinton. >> right. trish: but then again we don't know everything yet. at what point does this get wrapped up so that the american people can find out some answers which i think are much-needed and deserved at this point? >> right. i have always believed if you were going to have a special counsel, should be given a time certain and sum certain. a flat amount of money they can not exceed to get their work done. going more than a year with no indicia of any bad behavior by the trump administration, in my view is long enough. these guys are going to keep cranking the clock and charging the government as long as we keep paying them. there is distraction. there is no need for this to be going on. we have president doing great things for the country. having big things to do, listening to this noise on the side, with no basis in fact. trish: i don't know how you do it, even his st

congressman, in some ways, has vladmir putin gottenctly what he wanted? his goal, when he set out to tinker with our elections was to sort of undermined our confidence in the system and create further division, making us increasingly ungovernable, hasn't he succeeded on that front? >> yeah. i think that is one of his goals. i don't think he particularly wanted trump or hillary clinton one over the other. i think what he wanted to do, exactlyç what he said, call ino question the very, the very foundational idea that in a constitutional republic you have free and reliable open elections. so he is kind of gotten what he wanted, but beyond that he also cast this cloud and c president trump, by the way, we're fortunate we have somebody who is able to concentrate as president trump. look it, he is able to focus while substantial portion of his resources is unable to respond to this. trish: i know. i know. i don't know how i would get anything done, if you got this investigation going on. you have got your team members, your staff preoccupied with dealing with

the next meeting with vladmir putin is still interfering in our elections and will do so this novemberknow what we get out of this. >> bolton did say that he rai d -- raised the issue of election meddling. you're going to want the president to make that one of core issues. i spoke with treasury secretary earlier today and asked about these questions that you're raising. listen to what he had to say. >> i don't think so at all. the president has said very clearly that there are areas of the world that we need to work with russia on. whether it's syria, whether it's iran, whether it's north korea. these are very important security issues around the world. if there are areas make sense we're going to do that., it maybes sense to have communication. there's no commitments or anything el. >> that was in response to should nato allies be concerned by this meeting. he went on the say there's no imminent plans to lift sanctions. does that give you new pause as you criticize this meeting between the president and president putin. >> a good question but no. again with russia, the president says

president trump made it known that he feels that vladmir putin should be here at the negotiating table. >> whether you like it or not, and it may not be politically correct, but we have a world to run and in the g7, which used to be the g8, they threw russia out. they should russia come back in. reporter: next hour president trump will have his bilateral meeting with the canadian prime minister justin trudeau. after that, we believe he will meet with the french president emannuel macron. the president with 50 minutes late earlier today. president trump that is. so the meeting with macron was pushed. the two eventually as you're able to see, chat on the sidelines. this comes after trade tensions, have been rising among the leaders and other allies as well. but the president earlier this morning said our allies are not necessarily innocent vick tis when it comes to trade. >> they're trying to act like well, we fought with you in the wars. they don't mention the fact that they have trade barriers. against our farmers. they don't mention the fact they're charging almost 300% tariffs. when

let me turn to vladmir putin for a moment. there is talk that the president may sit down with him.hould he? >> i think meeting with putin is a good thing, like he met with president xi early on in the administration. they have a lot to stalk about. the my white house sources says agreement for a meeting is already done. putin has wanted this since the inauguration. president trump kept him at bay because of all the issues we've been having with them. i think rightfully so manipulating our election for sure. mischievous in syria, backing a regime killing its own people. the chemical attack assad did with russian approval. these are issues that kept putting the meeting off. i think now the president is ready to have that meeting. when and where is the issue. that is what bolton will probably solve. the upcoming opportunity is in vienna with a nato summit. that is next month. that is not a lot of tile. this administration has proven they can move quickly if they want to. so we'll see. trish: do you believe overall, do you agree with this poll americans say things are looking up more s

president trump thinks vladmir putin should be brought here in the future to the negotiating table. charles: when your friends kick you to the curb, you look for old friends i guess. blake, thanks a lot. appreciate it. we'll hear back from you momentarily. president trump refusing to settle until our trade system is fixed. somehow is the fault is placed been the u.s. at least by the media for quote, mistreating our friends. look at some numbers. they speak volumes how the system really works. i put this tweet out this morning because the eu are talking about additional duties with tariffs already in place. talk about hypocrisy. 22% on cranberries, 22% on orange juice. 11% on whiskey. of course that pretty hollow threat. america carries all the influence. whether the g7, eu, nato, any of this stuff. so our nation's friends, they seem to have serious double standard. i don't think their threats are going very far either. going this to discuss all this capri cafaro, former senate democrat state minority leader. currently "washington examiner." and deneen borelli and and eric gibbs. cap

president trump earlier today said he feels vladmir putin should be here at the negotiating table. >>hether you like it or not, and it may not be politically correct, but we have a world to run, and in the g7, which used to be the g8, they threw russia out. they should let russia come back in. reporter: that has received a lot of criticism. republican senators among them, world diplomats among them. the top democrat in the senate, chuck schumer said this in a statement, writing quote, president trump is turning our foreign policy into an international joke, doing lasting damage to our country without any rhyme or reason. so he wants to expand this trish, back to the g8 format. some are thinking that this could end up being the g6 plus one as in, the six nations, u.s. as the outlyer because of trade. it will be an interesting 20 hours or so from now. the president is cutting his trip short, leaving early a few hours tomorrow. the white house is saying that this has to do with the fact that he has another big meeting up on his schedule, that half a world away in singapore. when you add

. >> he is closing up to kim jong-un, vladmir putin, to president xi in china.hat is the most concerning thing to me, are we moving away from the notion that the united states believes in economic and political freedom towards a strong man approach to governance? we need our allies. we need to promote democracy and economic freedom. this president seems to be moving away from that. the trend of where he is taking foreign policy is troubling to me. >> the nato summit is coming up. could you give us perspective on how you see relations with nato allies? what your expectations are? >> administration has been pressuring them for some time with next results. that is always going to be part of it. the concern is that this president has basically said at different times he wants to move away from nato, move away from our alliances. arounda lot of people temp who want to reinforce those. there is always that tug-of-war. articleed to reassert five, where it says every nato country will defend the other. a week later he mumbled it. so, i do not think that the way the pres

he has an open invite from vladmir putin, i guess somim this fall. he will eta people in leader assad.luding, syria's what do you make of this? >> always count on putin and russians to engage in some shenanigans. don't forget, last september or october, kim jong-un gave them a contract, the russians a contract for increased bandwidth for internet, even though the people don't have access to the internet. something that did come out, neil, about timet he replaced the three old guard generals has not gotten much press but concerns me, it is called the chigang province, middle to upper part of north korea. it borders the chinese border. 98% of the area covered with mountains. a lot of tunneling taking place there. many believe the tunnels are goin to china, something happened, with dissension and so forth north korea, this is where kim jong-un would escape. listen to this. at the same time he made this play with these generals he named the province a revolutionary military force zone. this is where he would hide the stuff. this is something that as we e
