and vladimir putin, as the star of that show, might be an additional attraction. but the point is that the majority of g-7 members voted putin and russia out, inviting russia without their approval. our allies' approval would be a catastrophe. >> how do you come up with millions of dollars that potentially they would make if the g-7 were held at the doral country club down in florida? >> the doral country club is owned by the trump organization. donald trump is the owner of that organization and the direct beneficiary. and the expenditure of a lot of dollars, possibly in the millions, as a result of their having to stay there with security, with their aides, and accompanied staff would possibly be in the millions of dollars. but one way or the other, it would be an enormous financial boost to the doral. already has been in trump touting it as one of the best sites to have that kind of meeting. and it is and would be potentially a direct violation of the emoluments claus. the chief anti-corruption claus of the united states constitution and we might well make it par

so why do you think the escalation from vladimir putin on this front? >> it's a little bit hard to read the tea leaves here. i would point out it wasn't he wanted to only bring russia in. he claimed it was multilateral. he said macron wanted this and france said, actually, that's not true. so look. it could be designed to heighten the perception that trump doesn't know what he's doing, that he doesn't really have a grasp on the facts. it wouldn't be hard to give that impression, but there are a lot of reasons to believe this g7 could be bungled by trump not only by his comments but cyberbullying germany over their bond yields, whether he's going to muster support with the other members of the g7 to pressure china to not crack down on hong kong. there are so many ways that this could go wrong and has gone wrong in the past. obviously this is just another element right thing that risk. >> it's so schizophrenic to watch president trump's good, rosy feelings towards vladimir putin and everything he says, and he's always willing to give him the benefit of th

and this seems to be vladimir putin's response. what's the white house thinking about the president's outreach strategy today? >> well, that's been a perpetual strategy of the president. he did that last year as well before the g7. called on russia to come back in. it's kind of the tactic he did almost one year to the day afterwards. and both times we got significant pushback from european leaders. the president as abby said has wanted to have a solicitous relationship. there are others who have far more dim views of russia. you see the president taking a kinder and gentler stance than any of them would probably propose or like. and here what you have again happening is the president saying, oh, i think russia should be there. i think russia -- it's important to have russia at the table if we're going to make any sort of deals. a conference call with yesterday. just throwing the idea, so it kind of tells you the discord, the divide there between the president and people around him on how to handle russia. >> josh, you have interest

all of that is a gift to vladimir putin. all this disunity just makes it that much easier for him to pursue his own interests in europe. >> and what he does want to talk about is the global economy because he's worried about the domestic economy, and what he's likely to do, although far be it from me to predict donald trump, but what he is most likely to do, i think, is to say to our allies why aren't you doing more? you're ruining us. you're hurting us. this is your problem. you're making a problem for me. an i think they're worried about that as well, because he is the bull in the china shop. and they're afraid of it. and they're not going to come out with any kind of communique. they're not even going to think about any kind of communique. they just want to keep peace in the family to a degree and get through it. >> thank you so much to both of you. >>> as the president's two former press secretaries get tv jobs, his current press secretary and her unorthodox rise to the position. >>> plus the amazon burns at a record rat

tonight we ask will this ruling change anything is anyone listening in the world that's run by vladimir putin i'm burnt off in berlin this is the day. subsequent years ago he was completely illegal to put him in prison and that was no evidence that just a fund keeping him back for so long will be what they moved him from cell to cell. as soon as he started to complain about the conditions they immediately tell him to sound with even worse conditions. when mr magnitsky died in prison it's a tragedy and we regret it but so what the americans don't have people is dying in their presence. which is what happened to. the if he was confident and why did he die of the extent of humans ill and why didn't they treat when he was. also coming up he is a green politician and he could become germany's next chancellor tonight we ask him about how he plans to win and has he found the new center of german politics visits new certainly hold positions other policies used to hold the forests and that have become thought of germany's d.n.a. like the fact that a social market economy is they have to serve the peop

vladimir putin was aided by rising oil prices which brought economic upswing of sorts. still, that sense that he has raised russia from its knees as many people say about him, that is still at the core of his popularity today. phil: like many european cities, berlin's local government is struggling with skyrocketing rent and shortage of housing. many tenants are still worried about being priced out of their neighborhoods. dw has met with tenants facing an uncertain future. reporter: this is east berlin. alexander likes this historic area where hisis grandmother lived. >> this is my home. i grew up here. this is where i went to school. about a kilometer away is where i graduated high school. this is what i know and love. phil: he received a letter informing him that all the units in his apartment building will be sold. there are already potential buyers. >> they were foreigners from south germany, not from berlin. the potential buyers were friendly, but made it clear that they plan on living in the apartments themselves. reporter: the other renters are fighting back. if

>> well, the president is frankly a puppet for vladimir putin. we see it over and over again, whether it was during the campaign or since he was elected president. he can say nothing wrong about president putin, he can say everything wrong and criticizes our allies repeatedly. so we have a president who is frankly decompensating in frochfront of our eyes. >> we're also follow ting this storm, as you know, that's bearing down on puerto rico, could hit sometime tomorrow afternoon, the island. many of the island residents still haven't recovered from hurricane maria two years ago. they have received only about $14 billion in disaster aid so far, that's nowhere near what the president tweeted this morning, claiming $92 billion in aid. how do you ensure congresswoman that puerto rico gets the federal support it needs? >> well, even when we appropriate the funds it appears the administration is acting very slowly to getting those funds to puerto rico where we have american citizens. we sometimes forget that. but they're all american citizens and i don'

well will a european court ruling change anything about vladimir putin's russia let me pull in bill browder now sergei magnitsky was a friend for him and he was also his lawyer the lawyer who uncovered how russia was stealing money from investors since magnitsky death browder has but a campaign to stop russian fraud he lobbied the u.s. congress to pass the magnets get back to joins me tonight from london but it's good to see you again on the show russia has ignored all the rulings by the european court of human rights which i'm sure you are aware of do you expect it to treat today's ruling any differently. well though the ruling is is significant most significant in the words that are in the ruling as opposed to what the consequences are the words in the ruling are very explicit they say that russia effectively murdered sergei magnitsky after torturing him and completely not giving him a fair trial and doing all sorts of other illegal things that's what the ruling says and and the reason why this is so important is not for the 34000 euro judgment that the family gets that's that's effective

volodymyr zelensky put vladimir putin on his rear end, take the passport. we have no control over your leadership. he has those colorful expressions going back to catching him in the outhouses, referring to stephen piper, vladimir putin is silent. volodymyr zelensky had won that battle because that is volodymyr zelensky's strength, a ukraine class comic but that is unfair. he is not going to be so easy for the kremlin to manage. let me make one more point, this caught my attention big time, two weeks ago, ukraine seized the russian tanker in the attack on ukrainian ships, that was a gutsy move but not stupid. he kept the tanker and release the sailors. i think the kremlin doesn't know what to make of this guy. with russians on various tv programs and in fact it has been pretty mild. what happens with the war, to address this i need to explain so you read what i say in context. i think ukraine has the upper hand. the reason is the following. this is a war of the kremlin against the ukrainian people. i put it that way because the ukrainian people by a large m

vladimir putin and his regime killed my lawyer sergei magnitsky from covering a massive putin connected corruption scheme and they killed him in a in a horribly sadistic way at the age of 37 and i've been going after them. ever since they killed him and we've created a law in the name of sergei magnitsky in the united states in the u.k. in canada in the stony a laugh we're lithuania and many other countries and there's a lot putin hate so much and that's the reason why he hates me and the fact that this law is causing him so much grief is something which which shows that we've got him back and that's what you with with pride you've been convicted in russia in a censure on 2 counts accused of tax fraud arrested very publicly in madrid last year accused among other things of killing mr magnitsky yourself. and then we come to this meeting in helsinki between trump donald trump the u.s. president and mr putin last year when putin said we'll give you the 12 indicted military intelligence officers indicted by a special counsel robert mueller but what we want in return is you bill browder how

now, vladimir putin today announced these new measures would take place. it was quite interesting because he actually made that announcement on russian state tv where he again ripped into the u.s. and then said he had told all ministries here in russia that are relevant, the foreign ministry but especially of course the defense ministry to come up whatt he called that comprehensive and symmetrical response. he didn't mention the word arms race, but it is something the russians have certainly been talking about over the past couple of really months since the demise of nice treaty was talked about. they blame all this on the u.s. it's not just america blaming russia for this treaty essentially coming to an end, but also other u.s. allies in nato as well who are saying the russians themselves have developed similar weapons and have already deployed similar weapons. we're going to wait and see whether or not this is going to be an escalation. the russian president not saying whether or not this means he's actually going to deploy new missiles somewhere near a

"the past vladimir putin has chosen to russia is a tragedy of historic proportions. g free and fair elections, respecting the rule of law, and integrating russia's economy with western democracy, putin has invaded georgia, attempted to illegally annexed crimea, conducted war in eastern ukraine thousands of died, and supported a barbaric regime in syria." meantime, former white house deputy chief of staff, karl rove, said it would be a terrible mistake for president trump to invite to put into next year's g7 summit, which will be held in the united states. >> i think would be terrible for the president politically to invite them next year, particularly if it's in his club, to come to the g7 and make it the g8 again. >> dagen: robert, what do you think? >> robert: a few things. i'm surprised he hasn't blames it on president obama that ron johnson couldn't get of us. because he seems to blame everything else with respect to vladimir putin on president obama. i totally agree with ron johnson. i totally agree with karl rove. i think what has gone on the last couple days, t

vladimir putin says he's ordering his military to develop new weapons of ththeir own. do you think we're looking at another cold war? >> here we go again. clearly russia violated the int nuclear treaty. they did, but the way president trump handled that, he started now potentially an arms race. that is not in the u.s. interest. it's not in russia's interest, and certainly not in the world security interest. we need to continue as we did with new s.t.a.r.t. to find a way to reduce nuclear forces in the world, not increase them and give other countries excuses to start in the arms race. so no, i think the president's handled this wrong. clearly russia provoked us and the president fell into that trap. now allowing russia to go forward with more testing. >> senator ben cardin, thank you for joining us and have a great weekend. >> thank you. >>> up next, we have breaking news, wrapped up in an escalating trade war, president trump uses twitter to announce a retaliation against china for its new tariffs. >>> and north korea launches a sharp personal attack on secretary of s

back into the g7, saying he'd like to have vladimir putin come to the united states next yearheight of the presidential campaign to be part of the g7 summit here in the united states. those two messages, the signal being sent by dhs, the public signal being sent by the president, how is that interpreted in moscow? >> well, it's interpreted as a green light. essentially what the senate is doing, what the president is doing in their posture, is saying, look, we're not going to touch this. if you're going to do it again, we're not going to step into this. so as clint said, it's not just russia we need to worry about. iran's doing this china certainly has the capability of doing this, and your independent hackers can just mess with the election. so it's got to be a coordinated federal budgetary item to secure our democracy by preserving a free and fair election, and we're not there yet. >> frank and clint are staying with us. >>> coming up, as we just mentioned, president trump says vladimir putin would be welcome in this country next year. why is the kremlin refusing to let u.s.

that unlike barack obama, vladimir putin was a strong leader.ely unfazed by the fact that when we brought up the fact that vladimir putin kills journalists, kills politicians that he disagrees with. and is an autocrat. then, there's just a history and that history continues and yesterday was another chapter in that dark history. >> still ahead on "morning joe," just 6% of americans oppose new background checks for gun buyers, just 6%. among them, a d.c. lobbyist and the president of the united states. we're going to run through the latest step backward in the gun reform debate next on "morning joe." n the gun reform debate next on "morning joe. don't miss your golden opportunity to experience our most advanced safety technology on our full line vehicles. now at the lexus golden opportunity sales event. lease the 2019 es 350 for $379 a month for 36 months and we'll make your first month payment. experience amazing. spending time together, sometimes means doing nothing at all. holiday inn. we're there. so you can be too. they give us excellent cus

a lot of disappointment with vladimir putin's leadership in the country.u see a huge disparity -- income disparity in the country and instead of the united states focusing on that and seizing on that vulnerability that vladimir putin is really facing and isolating him even more and making him finally have to deal with a lot of his actions, instead the president seems to be looking over all of that and instead wanting to embrace him which is something we've seen him do time and time again. the ome other european country which is sympathetic to this is italy which we know has accepted a lot -- this government in particular has accepted a lot of russian money and has led to a lot of corruption internally. >> chris, the image that he projected at the g7 summit, is that the image he wants to project going into his re-election campaign? >> yeah. i mean i know he gave a quote that said i don't do anything for politics. i only do what is right. you could reverse that potentially but i don't think -- i don't think that quote is true. i think he's acutely aware of t

russian president vladimir putin is ordering his military to respond to the recent u.s.a weapons buildup on the u.s. withdrawing from the anti-missile treaty. of course russia says the u.s. first broke that treaty. until 2014 it was the g-8 when other members kicked russia out, this for the invasion and annexation of crimea in a sobren european country, ukraine. fredlic pleitgen is live in moskow. how serious do we expect this russian response to be to the u.s. test? >> well, i think it's going to be quite serious. and i think some of the things that folks are saying not just here in moskow but internationally is that the u.s. seems to be ever closer, jim, to being on the cusp of a new nuclear arms race. you can certainly see the kremlin was extremely angry at that missile test, that of course was being a tomahawk news missile. vladimir putin went on a televised address here on russian state tv and he essentially ripped into the u.s. and said the fact this took place only 16 days after the u.s. officially left the inf treaty, the prerun intermediate range nuclear forces

why is president trump so easy on vladimir putin. the latest instance of trump putting putin above all. this is coming as two u.s. senators are blocked from entering russia. i stood outside, assessing the situation. i knew it could rough in there, but how rough? there was no way to know for sure. hey guys.... daddy, it's pink! but hey. a new house it's a blank canvas. and we got a great one thanks to a really low mortgage rate from navy federal credit union. pink so she's a princess. you got a problem with that? oorah oorah navy federal credit union. our members, are the mission.
