although he may have asperger's syndrome the question is what explains that?w year's day 2000 the first television of newly appointed vladimir putin and the pentagon was watching. analyzes for clues with how to deal with him issued a startling analysis of these and other putin images. the russian president carries a neurological abnormality, asperger's syndrome that affects all of his decisions. unclassified report in 2008 another in 2011 now only becoming part of the record. the white house press secretary dodging a question about it. >> i saw the report today. i don't have any comment on that report. >> reporter: many descriptions of putin in the report are stark. brenda connors authored the report saying is supported at the reptilian stage where the need for order proceeds all interaction. his primary coping strategy is to control. >> there's no guidance from d.o.d. >> reporter: among putin moments in support of her asperger's theory when putin was inspecting the super bowl ring of new england patriots owner craft, actually pocketed it. asperger's is charac

that doesn't sound like asperger's to me.ussian press, there was a story about the ukrainian president having links to the the devil. this is to me on the same level. >> the conclusion that julia mentioned at the beginning of the segment. there was some sort of traumatic brain injury that vladimir putin may have sustained in his early developmental stages. i mean how can -- from the medical perspective, can one gather that kind of information without having examined someone? >> no, they cannot. one has to examine them. hopefully with their permission and study their brain and all kinds of things. there's no way to draw that conclusion. it's highly speculative. i think they have hired psychiatrists to try to analyze foreign leaders, which is something that has been started since roosevelt wanted to analyze hitler. and they have thoughtful analyses in a lot of ways. but this is very different. they do very extensive research. it is interesting to watch how people move and act and behave. if someone going to ask me for a diagnos

to actually see the report one done in 2008, that suggested asperger's and another in 2011 that talkedbout putin and medvedev medvedev. >> the top of the report has the caveat of those studying but this informs behaviors. i know from having covered the white house many years presidents when they travel to visit a foreign leader they get an intelligence debrief which says this is what this leader has done. these are his family problems. this his background. he might have this disease or that disease. we studied saddam hussein and gadhafi, all of these things are written up. >> one of the people i talked to yesterday said he had been involved in looking at three people osama bin laden, vladimir putin and kim jong-il, the former leader of north korea to have looked for certain tells in their behavior and facial patterns, et cetera. >> this is the kind of study that will say, does he have kidney disease? how long might he live? how long might we have to deal with it? in this case you don't have to be an arm chair psychologist to see vladimir putin takes his shirt off and does crazy things

whether he has asperger's or a wacko or not. at least he has a tragedy. strategy.he has a timetable he's following. he's applying force. he's meet meting out force with great care and precision. so far he doesn't see nato or the united states or anybody else for that matter doing anything to oppose him. we need to send the ukrainians weapons that can be effective against the russians. a small amount of force. lou: what are the odds? what are the odds? >> well, it's too late i'm sad to say. it's just getting too late. lou: it's a done deal. >> yeah, he's achieving his objective. general bob scales. stocks turning positive for the year to date. the dow surging 212 points. s&p up 21. nasdaq up 28. volume on the big board dropping to 3.8 billion shares. crude oil 4% on the day. settling above $50 a barrel. sports illustrated its much anticipated swimsuit edition just about ready to arrive. the iconic magazine winning praise for featuring, not one, but two plus-sized models for the first time ever. the size 12 robyn lawley appears in a bee about a bikini and ashley grah

hmm, asperger's. trace gallagher with this. really? >> shep, what the study indicates is by watching the way someone moves you can tell if they have brain disorder. for example, researchers say if you look at president putin during a judo match or similar activities you can tell the right side of his body is slow to react. in other words, it takes a while for the right side of his body to synch up with his brain. it's a telltale sign he had a brain injury or stroke earlier in his life. in turn that makes him socially awkward, itch patient to the point of rudeness and even gives him a lack of charm humor, and playfulness. "time" magazine once said during a dinner meeting with putin, he got up and said, there's no more food, let's call it a day, except the main course had yet to be served. more important and that his social skills is how his brain problem might affect his leadership. researchers say he stands to be a slow decision maker saying i quote, putin revisits and returns to square one continually until he knows all the facts, but

who is a relative of the comedian sacha baron cohen, and he said that the claim that putin has asperger's syndrome based solely on movement analysis is unlikely to stand up to valid scientific scrutiny but obviously you guys do this. the intelligence community tries to assess leaders emotionally or psychologically. what is the psychological profile of vladimir putin that you've read? >> well, i've read lots of them over many years. let me give you my base analysis, is that he's a person who feels aggrieved, who feels like the west helped to destroy the soviet union. he sees the world in zero sum terms. and he assigns a lot of power to our covert capability. he's obsessed with the cia. with respect to ukraine he thinks that we led the coup in ukraine. the ukrainians in his view have nothing to do with it, it was all the cia. so therefore what you see him doing today, first in crimea, and now with his proxies in eastern ukraine, that is him striking back against what he thinks is american-led imperialism. the second really important thing, chuck, he's become much more conservative over the
