wrong headed go ahead alex. possibly it's possible with trump you don't know by my hunches there's so many actors that do have an agenda with interests inner circle let's that's not fair we haven't talked about mike pompei oh we haven't talked about bolton and what he wants or what's his motivation so i think there's a lot of forces at work that are also pulling and pushing trouble in different directions yet and i think you have trouble coups at the end of the day i just don't see he's as engaged in foreign policy and international affairs as he is with the chaos that is now alex we're going to jump in here and we've run out of time many thanks to my guest here in moscow and in cyprus this is the end of our broadcast segment stay with us for the expanded version on our you tube channel see you next time remember cross talk rules. to prepare the program i had to look at a lot of material listened to a lot of material and also read a lot of material the mood was appalling. and not only that when you get these ima

you want to have some kind of diplomatic parlay you have to compromise it's a very vicious circle alex. yeah it is and i think that trump has been boxed in obviously by by the whole mueller investigation and then everything that's been going on for the past two years but i think he's confident about his trip going to europe and meeting with putin let's not forget he had a rally in montana in great falls montana i believe it wasn't and he was speaking pretty openly about his upcoming trip whether it was to nato or whether was meeting with putin even said that you know everything's going to be fine and we may actually get along so even though he has a lot of stuff domestically that's that's tying his hands up he seems like he's handling it pretty well he's pretty confident about it i don't feel like he met he met with kim who is the devil incarnate so by comparison to putin totally different things and marcus is it you know i think number one he thinks his mule reports going to result in nothing ok because if there was something it would have been leaked the number two it's being dinned

alex? >> all right. kelly o'donnell, thank you for that. >>> meanwhile, after last week's contentious nato summit, can president trump made gains on the world stage in for more i'm joined i'm joined by admiral james and chief international security and diplomacy analyst that wrote this week's time magazine cover story, why democracy isn't perfect but it will still prevail. admiral, with a welcome to you, i want to say we endorse that optimism. thank you for joining us. >> thanks. >> we heard the president saying he will tell us the goals of the meeting after the meeting. >> yeah. >> confusing. how do you interpret that approach? >> well, i think it's classic donald trump which is to say he doesn't have any goals. he is simply going to put himself at the center of the action, try and create an ora of mystery and do a reveal, but my guess is he has not done the diligence, has not done the study, has not talked to the experts and is really going to fly blind into this meeting without a sing the u.s. officia

alex thank you for being with us it's a pleasure to have you here thank you so much for having me alex you reached out to me last year because one of the things that's important to you at omega one and you personally is to do things in a transparent aboveboard way and you want to ensure that you abide by all the rules and regulations and you actually do more than is needed in disclosure for our viewers advising omega one in that regard but tell me how and why that is so important to you why you feel that in your bones well the block chain is the most transformative technology to hit finance possibly at a and there's such a huge amount of potential in digital assets and yet most of the noise and fury at the moment in the space is highly speculative a lot of scam artists promising instant millions of riches and this is a massive distraction firm the promise of digital asset technology. we are very committed to the future sort of institutional institutionalization of block change technology as it truly transforms financial markets and this can only happen hand in hand with regulators and

alex barinka reports. alex: imagine a future where anyone can be their own power provider.is the vision that the blue energy ceo set out to create. now he is selling that to public market investors. bloom energy began trading on the new york stock exchange this -- wednesday morning. valuehave a very simple proposition. we are more reliable than the grid. we are cleaner than the grid. we save them money. alex: bloom sells what it calls energy servers. they are customizable systems that generate power for companies like morgan stanley and at&t, without the need to connect to a power plant. these high-tech boxes run on natural gas or biogas 24 hours a day, seven days a week. only 1% of ipos have been alternative energy companies, and it has been over a year since one went public. they are writing the details of the more than $100 billion the obama administration piled into the industry. under the trump administration, enthusiasm has faded. the reinstatement of an investment tax credit for fuel cells in the massive tax overhaul bill worked in bloom energy's favor. the systems h

but let's flip that on its head, alex.ld junior didn't run to his father with that information, what can we infer from that? well, we can infer that donald junior must have already known that russia was his father's corner. you know, i've said recently that maybe for donald junior, this was just another day at camp collusion because he had already been made aware that russia was trying to help his father get elected. >> thank you very much for the conversation. good to see you. >>> is the government doing enough to protect our election? we're going to ask a u.s. intelligence expert who wrote the book about russian interference in 2016. - i love my grandma. - anncr: as you grow older, your brain naturally begins to change which may cause trouble with recall. - learning from him is great... when i can keep up! - anncr: thankfully, prevagen helps your brain and improves memory. - dad's got all the answers. - anncr: prevagen is now the number-one-selling brain health supplement in drug stores nationwide. - she outsmarts me eve

>> i think that's still a very open question, alex. what is clear from the allegations in the indictment is that there are additional communications out there that are not listed in the indictment between stone and gucifer. and what those entail. and then what stone's other communications are with individuals at the trump campaign will be indicative or would be indicative to his state of mind. and the state of mind is the question in these types of cases. did he basically agree with these individuals that they should steal them? and did he somehow participate in that agreement? and that's what forms the conspiracy. just because he didn't receive it himself doesn't mean he doesn't have criminal liability for the actions that took place. he was clearly in touch with the campaign, a very important person. and i think he and wikileaks and other individuals faced some very -- have serious legal questions hanging over their heads right now. >> so liz given it's unlikely the russians are fatesing criminal charges unless kprat the extradited d

alex? >> let's hope they can give them what they need over the next four or five days while they wait. we have the coordinator of the rescue commission via skype. your message of what you've seen and heard so far relative to this rescue operation, i think the word miraculous has got to come to mind. >> absolutely. we initially weren't sure we were going to find them in the cave, then finding them and finding them alive was just the absolute joy. but then the real hard work starts because now you have to figure out how to get them out, and there were the three primary options that had been talked about over the last few days. and there was no one good option. it was the weather that ended up deciding it and the ability for the pumps to bring the water down enough to make the diving option a less risky option than staying in the cave when the water was going to come up and potentially be higher. plus the fact that you had the oxygen and carbon dioxide levels in the cave. sewell of those combi

alex witt with the latest. alex. >> thank you for the handoff. i will see you tomorrow. have a very good. i'm alex with the at msnbc headquarters. here's what's happening right now, 12 russians, 29 pages, one indictment. the special kouvns drawing a very clear line from the 2016 e-mail hacking directly to russia. >> russians came after us, they are coming after us. and they will come after us. the russians attacked us. it was warfare, computer warfare. >> the message the indictment is sending to vladimir putin, now two days before the helsinki summit how this could change the approach for the meeting. >> this is the time for the president to stand up to america. >>> a new day of protests in britain. some people showing up at the president's golf club and booing him on the fairway. but we begin with new reaction from democrats on special counsel mueller's latest indictment is all the pressure that the president needs to stand up to vladimir putin when he meets with the president on monday. this is what representative garamendi said earlier. >> this is not the time to ask.

it's really the first action we're seeing against alex jones.t's still allowing infowars and alex jones -- they can still go on facebook and post their content. >> so then it seems like it's a step without a difference. are they considering banning him entirely from the platform? >> so what facebook says is that infowars and the alex jones page haven't met the threshold of violations necessary to warrant unpublishing their pages from facebook. that said, i talked to a spokesperson earlier this morning, and that person had said that they are close to meeting that threshold that would result in the pages being unpublished. facebook hasn't really specified what that threshold is. they won't say how many strikes against the accounts would warrant unpublishing the page, but it's apparently close to hitting that number, and that would result in facebook unpublishing these pages from their social media platform. >> now, i imagine jones is not happy with this prospect. what's been his response? >> right. we just actually got this totally bonkers cease a

alex, what about the meeting with vladimir putin?they are doing it alone. two men going into a room together. should we be worried about that? what i do agree is that this is a president with an unconventional approach. you are a rocket man, you are someone i can do deals with, you're a bad guy, i'm not going to have a summit with you, i am not coming, i'm coming tomorrow. it does seem to sort of work because even if you don't think there's been progress or you seek to deny credit, more has happened in terms of advancing the ball than happened for several presidencies beforehand. on putin, i mean, if this president can get further than with putin than his predecessors did, that will be a very significant achievement. what do you mean further? any kind of meaningful dialogue on what is happening in eastern ukraine? what would that be? international observers allowed in. to observe what? if the american president recognises the russian annexation of crimea which he has said he would. he has hinted at that. you are constructing your own

>> not too much, alex. frankly the white house is not offering much insight as all what this meeting will be about, when it will take place or where it will take place other than to say the national security adviser john bolton extended that invitation to the russian president. that certainly has some people in washington scratching their heads because of a limited amount of information we have about this new trump-putin meeting, that it will take place in the fall, putting a lot of republicans in a precarious position. the hotly contested midterm elections are coming up. republicans hoping to hold on to control of house and senate and members up in swing districts have to answer for the president's decision to have yet another meeting with vladimir putin when we still haven't learned all the details of what happened in the helsinki meeting's that meeting that took place with just president trump and president putin and their translators putting many in a difficult position. furthermore, alex, members of th
