cyber crime was a major talking point at biden and putin's geneva summit.ht up the recent ransomware attack on an oil pipeline that caused fuel shortages in the us. responsible countries need to take action against criminals who conduct ransomware activities on their territory. the talks have yet to bear significant fruit. i spoke to an investigative reporterfor an independent russian news site. he was recruited. how did you know that? we know that from the documents of the us government. maksim yakubets and both of those guys from evil corp hacking group were announced like enemies of the state. one of my sources, and ex fsb officer, told me that he personally tried to enlist yakubets. it is actually usual practice in russia. it is easier for the fsb to enlist hackers in russia than to put them in jail. the lifestyle of yakubets' alleged right hand man is another sign that russia is unwilling to act on these accusations. he is a close associate of yakubets, and serves as the system administrator. we found businesses run by him in a prestigious building in

he wanted a meeting and we got that in geneva and as a result, he calmed down. what is the exact of here -- what is the objective here? he is trying to play long game tactically. what are we looking at? annmarie: two things he wants. first is a little more overreaching. he said the break above the soviet union was the worst thing that could happen in the 20th century. he wants crimea. he wants to maintain that control and you can bet he wants to move that influence well into ukraine as well. he is also talking about the provocation from the united states. they are saying they have warships in the black sea. why are you doing that. putin wants a pop line -- pipeline. he wants nord stream 2. he does not want anymore sanctions. it is ready to go. it is just going through the regulatory proceeding and he wants that set up. there is no reason why president putin is going to try to help the europeans with belarus and his ally lukashenko when he is not getting what he wants. guy: ukraine is aware of it a little bit. bloomberg's annmarie hordern on what is happening bet

i went to the council's headquarters in geneva, i made a simple proposal, i said we needed to do twohings. , one we needed to vet the human rights records of countries to keep the worst abusers off of the council. and two, we needed to get rid of agenda item number seven targeting israel. without those changes, i said the u.s. would abandon its seat on the council. this fight became a story of how hopelessly biased the u.n. system is. we spoke with over 100 countries. they all knew the council had become an embarrassment. they said so in private. but when push came to shove, very few were really to rock the boat. they all talk a good game about human rights, but the sad truth is it just wasn't a priority for them. in the end, the biggest argument was keeping -- bless you -- to keeping us in america was that america was the last shred of creditability -- credibility that the council had. that was all i needed to hear. we withdrew from the human rights council and we never looked back.

haunted by the fact that this war i had supported had led the united states government to violate the geneva conventions and torture and some cases innocent people in the most horrifying fashion. it's a very humbling thing. i think intellectuals need to be humbled more than we are and a lot of outrage in america was because wes the elites were not listening. we were too certain. we didn't place doubt and humility at the center of our politics. we put the demonization of our opponents. i was sorry i did that and wrong to do it. >> despite your conservatism as you call it, you supported barack obama, hillary clinton and joe biden. when joe biden defeated president trump in 2020 rejoice he's done, but anowledged that trumpism did far better than anyone expected. i mean, you have witnessed the modern american conservative movement, descend from a movement of ideas to one centered around one man and personality. where do you think it is headed and if trump runs again, what does that mean for american democracy? >> i would say there are two things. there are issues that trump brought to the floor
