you heard from jim sciutto and jill dougherty. the question becomes how are u.s.osed to read this, especially on a day that president trump just had a call with the president of ukraine? >> that's a very good question for u.s. allies, of course, we know that many of these foreign governments are really scrambling to figure out how to make sense of the things donald trump says and does. i think jill made a really important point in that last block about the fact there seems to be significant dissidence between what trump's team at the u.n. are doing when it comes to russian incursions into the ukraine but what trump, himself, is saying in these interviews. it's just -- it's a massive gap even within the trump administration, itself. that's deeply confusing. >> i think that's really important point because nikki haley, the ambassador to the united nations, in her confirmation hearing and again in her comments about russia at the united nations took a much more aggressive approach when it comes to how the u.s. should respond and how wary the u.s. should be of russia.

in fact, the head of one of our biggest unions, ibew, john dougherty, they had a couple of signs, ifou will, up in a very prominent place down on market street, i believe. >> that's what i read about. >> exactly saying "go trump." >> and they were right over the protesters, too. it was shocking. >> and so, when people ask him "what's that all about?" he basically said, "i support the guy 'cause he's gonna save and create jobs, and i'm a union boss." >> that's what he says. >> you know, monica, this is a realignment possibility of the political parties. what trump has been able to do, at least to win, and, perhaps, will he do effectively, and this brings in the unions, he's met with the unions in his first week on the job. he's talking about infrastructure spending. he's talking about pipelines and energy. and he's talking about -- and these union members and workers, of course they want jobs. the environment might not be as big a concern for them vis-à-vis getting a good-paying job. and john dougherty, he said he's gonna represent his members. >> absolutely. >> it's a great carrot. i

i spoke with the moscow bureau chief, jill dougherty.ow embarrassing this is for russia. >> in general terms, it is bad for them. their expectations that they would have a better relationship with donald trump, are relaxes for their eyes. and nobody here in the united states, let alone in moscow, knows where this is all going. and then, it also continues to raise, and raises it higher than ever. this issue of why the special relationship between donald trump and russia, vladimir putin, what is that relationship? and that would be bad for the relationship between russia and the united states. there would be more acrimony. congressional involvement in congress, which is unpredictable where that could go. it could be very rocky. i have to say, that the russians, in recent days, have been a bit more critical. a little more of a sense they were questioning exactly what he was doing. i believe they are looking at a certain level of incompetence, honestly, in this administration, that surprises them. when president putin and donald trump were t

. >> joining me now, cnn contributor and former moscow bureau chief jill dougherty.ain the me why the president keeps defending putin over and over and over again. >> well, i can't do that as you probably know. i think that is a question. it is pretty extraordinary what we have going on. i mean, right now you have the spokesperson for vladimir putin asking for an apology from fox news for calling putin a killer. i mean, you could not make this up. this is like a novel. but it actually is happening. and i think you know, brooke, to be a little bit more serious, what you have is that extraordinary statement by the president, president trump, saying essentially the united states kills too, so kind of we're all equal. and then you have the more serious part, which is ukraine. and that's what you were talking about. this -- the administration, the trump administration is now taking, at least in public statements by officials, a pretty tough line. and that is something that russia probably is not that happy about. there's no sign of sanctions being relieved or anything lik

>> let's get to jill dougherty, she's a cnn contributor who is l s.moscow bureau chief for seve jill, in the hours since that short clip was released, reaction from analysts, foreign policy experts that we've talked to, has been one of alarm. not just that president trump would double down on, you know, his claims of respect for vladimir putin, only a few days after the ambassador to the u.n., nikki haley, blasted him in front of the united nations, but now also the fact that he's suggesting that both countries have killers. are you surprised by this? >> i am shocked by it. i'm not surprised by it. because mr. putin -- mr. trump, president trump, said that during the campaign, back in 2015, in december, he had another interview at that point, it was with msnbc. and he said, our country does plenty of killing, too. so he has said this before. but he said it as a candidate, at that point. and now he's saying it as president of the united states. and it is extremely undermining of the united states and its position around the world to say that it essentially is a country of killers. this

jill dougherty, and matt lewis. good to have you on.eneral marks, where are we now, what's happening? >> the question we need to ask right now, it's difficult to get beyond the palace intrigue, and the faces that are involved in this, we need to ask the question, what now, less who now. we're going to try to figure out who the next national security adviser is going to be, and a number of faces are going to pop up, keith kellogg is an interim solution, is he the permanent solution, probably not. this town and a bunch of places have immense talent that could step into that role and provide some great leadership, the challenge, however, is what are the priorities for this administration, what -- how are we going to engage with russia? are we going to cooperate or compete. can we get our arms around type of cyber proto coals as a way to narrowly define how we're going to engage with russia, are we going to engage with china to help us with north korea. what are we going to do with isis, we've all described that as an he can step shall thre

and our former moscow dougherty. jill, to you first. president trump has often said he respects vladimir putin but i want to hear your reaction to that line about killers, saying our country -- asking if our country is so innocent. that's unlike anything we've ever heard from an american president before. >> reporter: yes. in fact, boris, from a president. and i think that's the important point here. that he has said this before but he wasn't the president. he said it back in december 2015 to msnbc when he was a candidate. he said our country does a lot of killing, or plenty of killing too. but now he is the president of the united states. and to hear this coming out of his mouth to many people is extremely shocking. i mean, i think you just have to ask yourself does he believe this? or is he kind of on autopilot saying the things he has said before as a candidate. because you know, when he said i respect him, i don't know if we're going to get along, but if russia helps fight terrorism that's a good thing, he's said all of that too. so
