we can use negative adjectives about him, but one thing mr. putin is not, is stupid. he's very smart. he's not necessarily strategic, but tactically he's very smart. i think he will use mr. trump's seemingly eagerness to be liked and to be friends to russia's advantage. mr. putin is always cognizant about what russian interests are. and right now that is getting rid of sanctions. they very much want those .anctions off one way that they are not helping is in attracting russian investment. as david mentioned, the best russia can do in the future is to grow by 2% each year. a have not hit that yet. they are at .5% for this quarter. the only way russia is going to grow from what has happened in the past, which is the huge spike in global oil prices, which doesn't look imminent, is to get rid of sanctions. with sanctions, it cannot get that investment. this is a tremendous problem in the one to three to five year. what we are seeing happen in russia is in 2018 mother will be another presidential -- 2018, there will be another presidential election. my guess is that mr. put

take mr. putin, for example.s at the world as one big intelligence operation and for reasons, this is not a partisan concept. i voted for them. for reasons i cannot saying the president has a protected political space to mr. putin. last year at the g-20 vladimir putin was a riot. this year, at the g-20, the president singled him out for a private, quote, public meeting in the presence of others. that's just one example. that's part of the problem here. the mexico business doesn't surprise me at all. it demonstrates the limits of presidential power. what i think is extraordinary is in a recorded conversation which others were listening to, the president chose to undermine one of his most important and resonant campaign promises. he knows mexico wasn't going to pay for the wall and he wanted the mexican president, essentially to say so, which put the mexican president in an impossible situation. >> on russia, these calls were, by the way, seven days into his presidency, after inauguration. on russia, the response t

pruden is not, is stupid -- mr. putin is not, is stupid. i think he will use mr. trump's seemingly eagerness to be liked and to be friends to russia's advantage. he is always cognizant about what russian interests are. and right now that is getting rid of sanctions. he will insist that they are not making any difference to the russian economy. one way that they are not helping is in attracting russian investment. mentioned, the best russia can do in the future is to grow by 2% each year. a have not hit that yet. the only way russia is going to grow from what has happened in is investment. with sanctions, it cannot get that investment. this is a tremendous problem in the one to three to five year. what we are seeing happen in russia is in 2018 mother will be another presidential -- 2018, there will be another presidential election. win.s to i predict that he will. you have to make it look legitimate. in order to make it look legitimate, he has to be the defender of russian interests against western hedonism and culture. therefore, you must stop what is going on in

understand -- russia but without understanding of soviet heritage and legacy one has to realize that mr. putin spent the first 41 is years of his life under communism that he was ten years being trained by the kgb so one of the lessons from the cold war is that legacies matter and ideology mattered you can't touch base with somebody like that without taking into account that he spent most of his life under communism. >> here is the book, the brief history of the cold war, lee edwards and elizabeth edwards stalling this is booktv on c-span2. >> so could you recount for us the importance of the burn and affair and the underground railroad. >> no doubt -- >> i think earlier we had a sculpture see it if i can go back to it. that dwight who is a fantastic scurpt sculptor

what congress did is give the president a stronger hand in dealing with mr. putin.ow it's up to the president to use the cards that we've dealt to him to make it clear to mr. putin that the united states will lead with our european allies and isolate russia economically if they don't change their behavior. >> we learned yesterday that the president thought he had a very pleasant phone call with vladimir putin early on in the administration. there were leaked transcripts of phone calls that the president had with the president of mexico, the prime minister of australia on january 27th and 28th shortly after he was inaugurated. are you comfortable these transcripts were leaked? >> no. i don't think the transcripts should have been leaked. we've had reports on both -- on the australian call was well reported. so i don't think it was a surprise to read the transcripts. in regards to mexico, there was new revelations. but those transcripts should never have been released, but they're not surprising. i think we all understand it. we know mr. trump is very sensitive about

the point is that the west is under attack from mr. putin, from china, from terror.nd in this big screa scheme of is by no means clearly on the other side. it's still more or less on our side. be careful not to alienate and push them into the enemies.ur this is why we're between a rock and a hard place here. this is why, i think, that it's -- that economic ties with turkey are excellent. >> but in your opening statement, you said somebody to tell turkey that they can't be -- >> they can't -- fornd simultaneously look customs union, for example. >> i am in favor of custom against themust being a member of the european union, because as long as in power, and it was the case, of course, before that, they don't have the same values. have thenment doesn't same values as the european union has. own self-respect, we enough.ay enough is ms. merkel was right. going question of are we hand in hand, saying, will you member? >> they get economic support the european union for e.u.ble m membership in the should that count? >> how much is it, 4 billion? it's not much. goes not to

interview we have expressed all of our views through an interview that mr putin gave to the russia channel. with all the reasoning behind our decisions were explained at length and. in particular we believed that the u.s. would not go towards this path of confrontation with russia but unfortunately the u.s. congress. create a blockage towards that. we have also talked and discussed a number of other issues and we discussed what have been discussed on the meeting in hamburg and we have discussed the issue of cyber security in the fight against cyber crime and preventing cyber crime we have also addressed issues relating to our contacts there's a little on a number of international issues. of. north korea and its nuclear problem was also one of the issues that we have discussed. we believe that the contacts between the state department and our ministry would be very beneficial towards resolving this issue and we are open to such contacts we believe that. this will be this will be met with the resupply from the u.s. we have discussed afghanistan this iteration in the persian gulf and we have

history that i know that there's been a direct so much personally i have a funny i said really if mr putin actually did all the things they say he did he wouldn't have time to rule at all and it gets to be you know absolutely absurd to have i mean all the things that are written but it's not right i feel it is not correct to do that. so i happen to have the great pleasure of knowing this to put it a little bit after all i was a great friend as a subset and i was in petersburg which is my city and it's not that big so if you meet people you know. well i was once introduced on a boston radio program as being the only woman in the world who had been kissed by ronald reagan and let me put it. i had to do it i had to say but it was very it was in church and that's really only because of the old days in in petersburg so personally i always wish him well i know how hard. you know how hard a job it is not ok in foreign policy. how much responsibility if the policy so i always watched with. equal opportunity you always put emphasis on personal relationship get and trump wants to fix just that actua

( cheers and applause ) man, those sanctions have already devastated their shirt industry. gotta say, compared to trump that looks like a vacation. i would love to go on a bro-down fishing trip with vladimir putin. i'll bet it would be so much fun that i'd "never" come back. ( laughter ) ( piano riff ) ( applause ) of course, trump needs a vacation because his poll numbers have reached a new low. only 33% of voters approve of the job he's doing. 33%. as meatloaf said, "two out of three ain't bad, but one out of three sucks." ( laughter ) ( cheers and applause ) ( piano riff ) that's a friend of his, right? meatloaf is a friend of his.
