vladimir putin doesn't have that. >> that's right. and donald trump says he doesn't like the system. >> pence told me he will release his tax returns by the end of the week. that means today. he also revealed something that shows another example of how he is quite different from the man at the top of the ticket. trump is approaching debate prep in a more traditional way. he has mock debates and somebody acting as a stand-in for tim kaine. very different from donald trump who is having more discussions with his staff and is not doing those mock debates. >> dana, thank you so much for that. >>> libertarian candidate gary johnson and overwhelming long shot may have seen his chances much winning the white house go slim to none. he appeared on msnbc and was asked about the civil war in aleppo. then later in the morning on abc's "the view." >> what would you do if elected about aleppo. >> about? and what is aleppo? >> you're kidding? >> no. >> aleppo is in syria. it's the epicenter of the refugee crisis. >> okay. got it. got it. >> no excus

to embrace vladimir putin? >> i think his embrace of putin along the campaign is bizarre. he's one of the most hated men around the world. seen as authoritarian leader. i think so far he hasn't paid much of a price for it but the big enchilada is coming up. the big first debate. if he continues to embrace putin, will become a more serious issue. >> what do you think, dana, him and vladimir putin, a dictator. >> i think the most fascinating part of this putin/trump worldwide romance is trump says very explicitly why he says nice things about vladimir putin and that's because putin says very nice things about him. period, end of story. he said it to matt lauer against last night. he's said it month times before. if vladimir putin started saying nasty things about donald trump, it would be a different approach. if you're hillary clinton and her came pain, the question is really, is that how you're going to approach geo political diplomacy if you're in the white house? >> yeah, yeah. >> the interesting thing is the

the vladimir putin thing alone is something that doesn't help trump. the frame of the day is going to be this is a tight race and choose doing everything she can to fight him off. that tiedn't think is a raise in the sense trump has a path to 270 but in arrow path. it grows only through those estates. he's got not many other ways to go. he's got not a lot of other options. when you look at the other -- arizona, texas come all of these other places that she is on offense and he's on defense. last night, she did seem defensive, annoyed when she was questioned by matt lauer about her e-mail practices. one of the big problems with that event, i think she should have wanted it to be an hour so she could talk more about substance because once you talks about substance, i think she has the upper hand. mark: critics said trump had a lack of substance, lack of specifics, he was hit for saying america's generals have been reduce to rubble. yet again, he was criticized correctly for mischaracterizing his own past statements regarding whether he was for or against

thank you. >>> donald trump is embracing vladimir putin declaring he is probably not meddling in the u.s. election. comments coming in an interview with larry king on rt network. trump under fire for praise of putin. now this is what he told russian television. >> i don't know. i have been hearing about it. i have been reading about it. i think it's probably unlikely. i think maybe the democrats are putting that out. who knows? i think it is pretty unlikely. you know, who knows? if they are doing something, i hope somebody will find out so they can end it. that would not be appropriate at all. >> u.s. investigators believe hackers broke into the dnc data base this year. hillary clinton has accused vladimir putin of trying to influence the election. donald trump praised the leader on wednesday night. >> if he says great things about me, i will say great things about him. the man has strong control over a country. it is a very different country with a different system. i don't like that system. he has been a leader far more than our president has been a leader. >> the trump campaign now

vladimir putin, for all his bluster, he loves stirring things up.m his point of view, maybe having a hillary he has sullied of it is a good way to go ahead. -- a bit is a good way to go ahead. john: this comes on the question of the leaks. you asked him about the allegations that russia was involved in hacking the democratic party e-mail. president putin: is that really important? the important thing is to content that was given to the public. i want to tell you again, i don't know anything. the state of russia has never done this. john: hillary clinton clearly paying attention to your interview because she yesterday responded to what he said. >> when vladimir putin was asked about it, he could barely muster the energy to deny it. many of you saw that. in fact, he went on to say with a good face that the intelligent consensus is it was hacked by russian intelligence. we are facing a very serious concern. we have never had a foreign adversarial power be already involved in our electoral process. john: i thought it was extraordinary how he responded t

vladimir putin is not taking sides in the u.s.ntial election, but he doesn't care for the tactics of either hillary clinton or donald trump. the russian president spoke with bloomberg's editor in chief in an exclusive interview. we -- with the shock tactics of not only one, but the other -- they are very smart people. >> tune into bloomberg for more of our exclusive interview with russian president vladimir putin and do not miss our special report on monday at 12:00 p.m. eastern nbc natalie news anchor leslie hope will moderate the first presidential debate at hofstra university in new york. fox news sunday anchor chris wallace takes over for the third and final debate. cbs news reporter elaine couto moderates the best presidential debate. in venezuela, opposition leaders called it the biggest mobilization of protesters in the country's history. hundreds of thousands of venezuelans demonstrated in the streets of caracas, domenico recall vote against president nicolas maduro. global news 24 hours a day, powered by more than 2600 jo

we are keeping an eye on that seeing if he brings up the back and forth about russia and vladimir putin joining in the chorus of forces incredulous that donald trump has been praising putin. with me is trump supporter, jeffrey lord and jill daughtery, and the author of "art of the deal." >> how are donald trump's comments playing out in russia? >> they're all over the map. they are ecstatic and i would have to say the coverage of what donald trump says actually, the things that come out of his mouth play very well with what the kremlin says, and so they don't even have to bring up their own propaganda or media strategy or whatever. they just use the quotes by trump and then it plays very well. nato is weak. obama's a wimp. we should let russia have influence in where it wants to. you know, things that ultimately rr what vladimir putin wants, but they're coming out of donald trump's mouth. i mean, i remember an old phrase in the soviet days. it was called a useful idiot. [ speaking foreign language ] and they are people who mouthed what somebody else is saying, say the leader of another

think both pence and trump are relying on people's lack of memory or knowledge of who and what vladimir putin represents and where he comes from. one of his first acts, putin talks about burning the files of the communist party as the wall comes down in berlin. i mean, there is a remarkable history here of someone who has participated in some very sketchy behavior. you know, this notion that strength is all that matters, you could go halfway around the world and name one dictator after another that can act with greater force and without any checks and balances than any american president. i think we should all understand that up front. what they're getting at is really completely unclear, and for pence to say, well, this is all going to change the minute we get into the white house, we'll start acting more like a russian dictator, i'm not sure that's a great calling card for somebody running for office. >> but well, here is the thing. ron. russia is killing civilians and propping up a dictator in syria who uses chemical weapons against his own people, and a presidential candidate who accident

vladimir putin. trump has praised putin before, but this time the republican nominee seemed to align, at least on certain issues, with putin in an interview that aired on russian television. campaign representatives say that if they had known the trump appearance would be seen on the kremlin-backed network, that he would not have done the interview. this is what trump has said about whether he believes russia launched a covert operation to disrupt the 2016 u.s. election. >> i think it's probably unlikely. i think maybe -- maybe the democrats are putting that out. who knows. but i think that it's pretty unlikely. but, who knows? i hope that if they are doing something, i hope that somebody's going to be able to find out so that they can end it. because that would not be appropriate at all. >> trump also said he had "absolutely no opinion" on the fbi investigating whether russians hacked into democratic party e-mails. we will dive deeper into his appearance on rtv. >>> but first to hillary clinton's na

>> i'll leave it at that. >> can you imagine if hillary clinton was praising vladimir putin, they would literally run her out of the couple. interesting listening to trump with putin. that is the kind of leader he wants to be. i think he wants to be a dictator. i think there is an envy there. >> nicolle, you put your hands to your face. what a disappointment. >> i reached out to republicans yesterday and from the, you know, from what is left of the establishment and they just said this is just so stunning. i called one former adviser mitt romney and said i'm having a wake. i said, what happened? he said, no, for the go op. i reached out to three people in the trump camp and i said, what is the deal? i think he's strong, not good. i don't believe you. i believe that's what you think he should think but i don't believe that's what he thinks. he doesn't believe he's strong but bad. he's strong full stop. >> one thing about donald trump, he shows his hand. and this is a man who looks at that and goes that is what a leader is. by the way, he is in control. he controls the media and he's a di

particularly over these comments he made on vladimir putin.s for trump, those comments certainly are the thing that would be inconceivable from any other presidential candidate in living memory or before. but i think it is reminder that the american public and american media have become accustomed to that sort of comment from him. no longer really see it as something out of the ordinary. that will be hillary clinton's challenge is to hammer home it is out of the ordinary, and that should this qualify him -- that should disqualify him. brent: it was seen as a result -- rehearsal for the debates. would you say we got a good glimpse of what we can expect? richard: well, i think it is going to be different. having the two people on the stage at the same time will be a very different dynamic. there is a lot of uncertainty with how donald trump is going to behave, how aggressive he is going to be. will he say, "crooked hillary" to hillary clinton's face. that is going to be interesting to see. i think what we did see from last night was a reminder o

vladimir putin rather provocatively said, someday the european union could shrink in size as the strongerrt to close ranks. is that fighting talk because of sanctions against him or does he believe it? simon: putin has been a big figure in the debate. david cameron invoking him and saying putin would be one of the few people happy about exit. putin has denied that accusation. in his interview, john pointing out two things. one, the euro area could shrink at some point. it is not in russia's interest. but it could shrink if the likes of germany and france decided that it was time for a super euro of closing ranks. secondly, on brexit, he stirred the pot a little by saying relations haven't been particularly great with britain, but what is more important for him is less about u.k.'s relationship with the eu, and more interesting, the u.s. that implies that the u.k. does the u.s.'s bidding, and suggested if the u.k. rethinks its relationship with the u.s., it might have better relations with russia. francine: as long as donald trump is president. simon: we will have to see about that. franci

our big exclusive, with vladimir putin, this is bloomberg.> since the start of the century, the fortunes of russia have and and flowed, so, too, as the country's relations with the rest. -- with the west. one constant is vladimir putin, getting to power at the end of 1999, first as president, then as prime minister, then as president again, he has built russia in his own image. an economic rebound and rising living standards.

should have with vladimir putin. here's some of what donald trump had to say, followed by hillary clinton's response today. >> i think i would have a very, very good relationship with putin, and i think i would have a very, very good relationship with russia. >> let me ask you about some of things you've said about vladimir putin. you said, i will tell you, in terms of leadership, he's getting an a. our president is not doing so well. >> well, he duds have an 82% approval rating according to the different pollsters. >> he's also a guy who annexed crimea and, according to our intelligence community, probably is the main suspect for the hacking of the d.n.c. computers. >> well, nobody knows that for a fact, but do you want me to start naming some of the things that president obama does? >> but once again, he praised russia's strong man, vladimir putin, even taking the astonishing step of suggesting that he prefers the russian president to our american president. i was just thinking about all of the presidents that would

do you think there's a strategy behind donald trump praising vladimir putin? erican voters buy into this? that putin is strong? >> american voters don't like putin. if you look at polling over the past few years, he has negative ratings. i think we have to take trump at his word that he admires putin and sees strength as a good thing. and this is mind boggling. not just to democrats but to republicans. mitt romney four years ago who had a a fight with president obama at the time. russia and putin were the greatest strategic threat or interest of united states. and president obama said, no, that's not the right way to rank it. now the republican establishment is saying their candidate plays foots footsie. he bullies his neighbors, is not serious about helping the united states when it comes to interest in the middle east. this is a mind boggling one to the republican establishment. not only chairman borcorker, bu speaker ryan spoke out. neither one of them wanted to directly criticize trump. but they think this is just to use a tough word, they think it's a stup

of benefited the comments on vladimir putin are not new.his is something we've seen from donald trump now over the course of several months. i remember in an interview that he gave to joe scarborough in which he praised vladimir putin and scarborough called him on his praise for vladimir putin, and reminded trump that putin routinely killed journalists and finally got him to back down on his praise. i think it's untoward for the republican nominee to be praising vladimir putin in this way. having said that, if you look at the obama administration's record with respect to russia, you report on this new deal, this diplomat breakthrough, supposedly on syria, with russia, it's just a couple of years ago that the obama administration was promising that the united states and its international partners would isolate russia, because of its aggression in the crimean policy in ukraine. and those pledges disappeared almost within weeks as the u.s. tried to forge diplomatic consensus on syria. if you're not going to keep the props promises, don't paych

. >> the one guy donald trump has nothing bad to say about his vladimir putin. >> maybe he's afraid putin will cut off his supply of lives, i real lif don't know what's going on. >> thank you all. do you have a response to donald trump. >> this is the last word on campaign 2016. >> breaking news on syria tonight that the united states, joint military -- donald trump did not know that tonight when just over an hour ago he said this. >> i'll tell you this, if we got along with russia, that wouldn't be so bad, would it? that wouldn't be so bad. and if russia, which has a huge isis problem also, wants to help us get rid of isis and wants to spend billions and billions of dollars along with us when getting rid of isis, i'm all for it, folks. >>> that must mean he's all for what john kerry achieved today. he would be congratulating john kerry and negotiated the deal. the targeting is suppose to be in on monday in syria. donald trump ended his campaign week tonight with a particularly unhinged performance on a stage in pensacola, florida where he said this about hillary clinton. >> because she's

what's your take on donald trump and his view of vladimir putin?ll, i think the last thing this country needs as president is a stooge of vladimir putin. who stands against america. on our policies, in syria, in iran. you just name the place. he's working against us. and he undermeans our values. this is a strong man. this is a very dictatorial type of leader. who has jailed his opponents. and some say even murdered them. so to me, it is shocking, it is distressing. and i think it's unamerican to be honest with you. >> we also heard last night from donald trump a little bit more than we have ever heard from a presidential candidate about these classified intelligence briefings. trump saying he could tell based on the body language of the briefers they did not agree with administration policy to a certain extent. then we had a response reported by hallie jackson a few moments ago. are you at all concerned as a member of the foreign relations committee that we're getting so much information, it would seem, out of these classified briefings? >> it is

what do you think vladimir putin is up to? what is his objective to let the world know russia is a great power, but more than that presumably. >> two things, and they are intertwined. first, russia's status in the world and that particularly applies to the area we see very clearly in ukraine. it will be interesting to see what happens as we have secession challenges in central asia where china begins to play an increasingly important role and the other thing, and i'm struck by this, there is a domestic portion to vladimir putin's agenda. when people ask me what he is really up to, it is not just about fulfilling russia's greatness of the world, it is also about defending his regime and specifically legitimizing his brand of authoritarian rule. we kiddingly call it managed democracy. they just had an election, multiple parties. but in other ways, he is in my view a little defensive. more than a little defensive. what we are seeing domestically is to legitimize his regime he is constantly attacking the west and the u.s. which in

americans say, you know, maybe it's not such a good thing when donald trump is speaking well of vladimir putinome type of a nuclear test in north korea. is that really the kind of posture we want our leader to adopt. >> okay. so the putin comments. then we had the candidate forum about commander in chief. we had more clinton e-mail stuff bubble up this week. we had hillary clinton taking press conferences, meeting with the press, fielding dozens of questions. who do you think was up and down this week? who do you think won the week? >> okay. bstance, i would say her. yet, overall, you're going to be surprised, i'm giving it to him. when that cnn/orc survey came out immediately post labor day, even though it was our survey, i was kind of dubious of it. what does it mean it's a national survey and he's up by two? my question was, what's going on in the swing states? okay. she's still leading in the swing states, but those gaps have narrowed. so at the end of the week, this critical first week post labor day when he is narrowing the gap, he's got to be doing something right. i'm not sure what the

let me say this about vladimir putin. vladimir putin is an aggressor that does not share interests. vladimir putin is violating the sovereignty of neighboring countries, it certainly appears that he is conducting in state-sponsored cyber attacks on what appears to be our political system. that is not acting in our interests. and that is an adversarial stance and he is acting like an adversary. >> are you concerned, though, of donald trump praising vladimir putin? >> i made my points about putin clear right there. i'll just leave it at that. i'm not going to sit up here and do the tit for tat on what donald said last night and the night before and hillary versus donald. that is not my job and i'm not going to be the election year pundit. >> are you still comfortable voting for him to be commander in chief? >> i'll leave it at at. >> i think it's inarguable that vladimir putin has been a stronger leader in his country than barack obama has been in this country. and that's going to change the day that donald trump becomes president of the united states of america. >> last night donald

vladimir putin is an authoritarian. think trump is an authoritarian and i think clinton is an authoritarian. look. i'm looking to get elected president of the united states. >> you think they are all authoritarians but there are differences you see -- >> oh, clearly. i don't know so much -- trump may, in fact, look at vladimir putin -- at putin as a ro model when it comes to how to govern. in his speech just now, i was surprised he did refer to our country as a constitutional republic. i am surprised that at least in words he's able to say that. >> he talks about not just what he says about putin. he talks about having a more cooperative relationship with russia. is that something -- where do you fall on that question? is that something you think is possible? would you pursue that? >> absolutely. that's the solution when it comes to syria. and here it is. we're in a situation in syria where we may risk actual conflict in the air with russia. this is a civil war. the only way we bring it to an end is to engage russia and

he has never said he likes vladimir putin, he's never said he agrees with his policies, he's never said he agrees with his -- he's got strengthnd he's got good poll numbers. so he talks about the strength of putin and i think he says it as an admiring adversary, i know i'm going to have to deal strongly with this guy because he is strong. barack obama has thought he could charm vladimir putin, we have seen what's happened to the world because of that naivete. >> has it been comfortable for you on the inner circle. you went after and your locked up jared cushner's father, jared cushner who is now trump's son-in-law, has that made things -- >> life takes us through lots of different roads. and if you had told me ten years ago that this is the road i would be on now, i wouldn't have believed it.

. >> are you concerned though of donald trump praising vladimir putin? you -- >> i made my points about putin clear right there. i'll just leave it at that. i'm not going to sit up here and do the tit for tat on what donald trump said last night or the night before in hillary versus donald. that's my job and i'm not pundit commenting on -- >> are you still comfortable voting for him? >> i'll leave it at that. >> retired a miller is going to be joining me next in a moment. kasey first, let's talk about the speaker of the house and the other republicans, lindsey graham. these are not people in the never trump movement. these are people trying to straddle this uncomfortable fence. >> reporter: well, i might also put lindsey graham in the never trump movement. he might not quite want to admit that, i think, i think he's well on his way there. look, i think what you just saw there with paul ryan incapsulates the challenge that literally every republican member of congress, lawmaker, especially those up for reelection is going to face over the course of the nex

. >> senator you criticized vladimir putin. you said he must pay a heavy price until he changes course. take a listen to donald trump talking about putin last night. >> if he says great things about me i will say great things about him. he is a leader. you can say isn't that a terrible thing, the man has very strong control over a country. that is a very different system i don't happen to like the system, but certainly in that system he has been a leader far more than our president has been a leader. >> do you have any concerns at all. trump's apparent affinity for vladimir putin. >> i think one has to be careful to let flattery affect one's junction. ly leave i will leave it at that. we have interests, we should be able to work with russia no question. the terrorism threatens them like it does us. on the other hand over the last several years, president putin has operated in ways that very much have been against our interests. and i think we have to recognize that is just a fact. and has done so in many ways in a ruthless manne
