>> no, we don't but in vladmir putin's russia, vladmir putin can do whatever he wants.sman gowdy is 100% right here. this needs to be top of mind for president trump going into the meeting this morning. election meddling is not a matter of domestic politics. it is a matter of national security and if the united states doesn't take a hard-line on this, and isn't cans tent, not just going to hurt us here in the upcoming elections, including president trump's re-election campaign in 2020, it will have broad implications for our allies in western and central europe who have been subjected to this kind of meddling for better part of a. gerri: go to michael. i want to talk about this idea what is going on in syria. seems the administration, trump in particular wants help from russia in syria getting iran out. is that possible? what kind of role could russia play and what's realistic here? >> well that is actually realistic. the russians do seem to be helping limiting the role in iran. iran and russia are allies of convenience. the reason we have to be very, very careful i thi

vladmir putin could well be the key to that. is he really turning around on global tv to say to putin you're lying, i think we have all the president, you're lying about all that. i didn't expect him to do that. i am surprised everybody expected him to do so. neil: i wouldn't say you're lying, be a little forceful, not accept everything at face value. your thoughts? into i think donald trump embarrassed himself and the country today. he was supposed to be in the strong guy, i would be in iowa, we need a strong leader, none of these washington wusses, he wouldn't talk tough to vladmir putin. we not just the fbi, dan coats, director of national intelligence saying russia meddled in this election. there are ways to be diplomatic and forceful at same time. almost any other president of the united states would have been able to handle that, this is not acceptable. if russia does this again we will crack down and we expect you putin, to police your people. there are ways to do it. he didn't do that. he instead spun into his own little

he believes vladmir putin, when putin says i had nothing to do with that?his is opportunity to stand up for the united states of america. why didn't he? retired four-star general jack keane with his take on this next. let's go to our own blake burman, who saw it all first hand live in helsinki with the very latest. blake, take it away. reporter: trish, important to know right off the top this is not the first time president trump discussed russian meddling with president putin. he has done so in the past on sidelines of international events. what made it difference this time around, there was a press conference afterwards. u.s. reporters getting to press the russian president why russia meddled in the 2016. vladmir putin once again denied any involvement of the russian government meddling in 2016. which led the first reporter to ask him, if you deny all of it, then why should we trust you? and this was his blunt response. >> translator: you can trust no one if you take this. where did you get this idea that president trump trusts me or i trust him? he defen

remember this is vladmir putin. joining us now is former united states u.n. mission spokesman jonathan wachtel, foundation for defense of democracies ben telibu. >> good morn. >> i want to start with you, who is vladmir putin. a lot argue that the president is going in at a disadvantage. because of u.s. meddling and inadults on friday he should not holding this summit. what do we know about vladmir putin the man. he president with president obama. he met with george w. bush.

you've got president of the united states saying in this press conference with vladmir putin, putin madetrong and powerful case against the idea they were meddling in our election within an hour or so, the director of national intelligence, dan coats, has to put out a statement saying that they have put out the unvarnished truth about russia. so the question is who are you supposed to believe of all these people? i think for the president to get to, president trump getting to a situation, saying these sorts of things, where later, hours later, or even a day later people around him have to explain what he meant or take it back creates confusion, not merely in people like us watching this, but in the capitols of the world, among our allies in germany, france, england, japan. what are they supposed to make of a situation like this? melissa: well, when he tweets, i have great confidence in my intelligence people, however i also recognize in order to build a brighter future we can not exclusively focus on the past as the world's two largest nuclear powers. we must get along. in other words yo

this summit is really arguably more important for vladmir putin. it puts him in the same room with the evil united states. if you watch russian media, you read russian newspapers which i follow, it's nothing but a litany of anti-americanism. the united states has been the bogeyman and in so many ways has propped up vladmir putin, made him popular because he is standing up to the big giant, the big bully. in this case he has different sentiments toward president trump than he has had with other leaders. this is, a big deal for vladmir

this is, a big deal for vladmir putin. cheryl: again what he says to the president and what he says to his own people might be very different. we saw that with north korea. jonathan, benim. thank you very much for your time. >> thank you for having me. >> coming up we're hours away from the historic summit meeting between president trump and russian president vladmir putin. we'll look at politics behind the meeting. democrats wanted the meeting canceled. how does president trump's base view the meeting. ahead of the summit, look at stock index futures. the dow poised to open 41 points higher. you're watching "fbn:am." >> only by force, brute force will putin understand anything. we should give the president room to do that.

, 31% say vladmir putin is going to get a better teal out deal out of this summit. only 24% president trump will get a better deal. >> the "art of the deal" may be meet the art of the possible. there is very little short term i think president trump and president putin can agree on. i don't even see a framework for a deal happening. maybe this is exercise in threat reduction or high level diplomacy. all the issues mentioned were main sticking points. i don't think anyone will get a substantive deal. i certainly do hope the president sticks to the financial sanctions that the other guest mentioned. those are based on bad russian behavior. they're not punitive for the

he will talk about that summit with russia's vladmir putin.is saying there was a lot of good stuff. there were a lot of accomplishments out of that meeting. we still have those sanctions in place. there are things that we can work together on. so we'll hear some more likely about that. the question being, are we going to hear any kind of conciliatory tone or any kind of apology about not recognizing the work that dan coats and other intelligence professionals have done in terms of their determination that russia tried to intervene in our 2016 election process. coming up, we will have the president live. he will also be one think, hopefully talking about something we would much rather be talking about, that is tax cuts, right? tax cuts 2.0. give people back a little bit more of the money they earn. former cke restaurant ceo andy puzder joins me on that and the breaking news. do not go anywhere. promise of tax cuts from the president as well as talk about putin next. you've got a good record and liberty mutual won't hold a grudge by raising your

that is economic hit to vladmir putin. if anything he would like to come out of the summit with news on that. do you think the president would be willing to give anything on sanctions?

to say anything different is just not true. >> or the world leaders by name, vladmir putin, why won'ticize putin by name? >> i think he has. i think he has called them out for interfering in our election. he has been tough on russia repeatedly. he has taken action against russia on number of fronts i just listed off. [shouting] >> one at a time. >> he was beside him on monday? why came he critical of vladmir putin's actions? >> they had number of conversations. the president discussed some of these things directly face-to-face with vladmir putin. he addressed them again yesterday. the president also sighs this as opportunity he said many times to be able to work with russia. he recognizes the fact that 90% of the world's nuclear weapons are under the direction of the united states and russia. he thinks it's a good thing to get along with the other person that controls that much of the nuclear arsenal across the globe. he wants to create a more stable world and more peaceful world and we can't do that if we can't get along with russia in some capacity. so certainly we have called him o

we saw perhaps it was just misspeaking with vladmir putin.ou think this president is approaching national relations in such a different way? really being hard, being hard on our friends and being pleasant to some of our enemies? he is basically taking the playbook, and you know, shrunk shrunk -- slung it upside down. >> it is ironic, tougher on democratic allies, british prime minister theresa may, chancellor angela merkel, these people have been democratically elected. he basically says nice things about these authoritarians, whether hungary, whether erdogan, against the advice of his own staff, he called to congratulate putin basically a rigged election. trish: is there again, we have to assume he is pretty smart guy, right? he was able to build quite a business empire on his own. can we think about this in different ways? i was pretty upset with helsinki but i would like to think there is a method to the madness and this is a big way or that there is way to approach this that this might be successful or this upset you? >> feels, president

waiting for president trump and vladmir putin to speak. ident trump last hour said the one-on-one with putin was a very good start. that meeting reportedly lasted about two hours. right now they're holding an expanded meeting with their respective senior officials. any headlines from that meeting and you will get them first right here. they are by the way about an hour behind schedule. so that news conference should happen sometime this hour. we'll see. you will see it when it happens. check the big board. we're pretty much neutral with the summit still in progress. no real headlines from it. we don't have that big of a gain but we're up 1, 18 points for the dow industrials. look at big tech go. facebook $208 a share. amazon up 16 bucks, 1829 is the quote. google down a fraction but microsoft powering ahead another record high, above is -- $105 a share. that is the room the press conference takes place. we're expecting it sometime this hour. no guarranty. you clec turns. chairs are ready for media. when it happens you will see it. back to t

that vladmir putin's state-run propaganda. ship with russia. have you look at the press, said really all putin needed aside from what daniel said, i think that is absolutely right, the picture of him shaking hands with the president of the united states. after what they did to crimea where russia took it, there really was no hell to pay for russia and now this normalizes the relations between the united states and russia because the white house put out a statement overnight that said, we are going to agree to disagree regarding that? >> well, look, i think this president has a very different approach to how you deal with leaders. he met with kim jong-un in singapore. you could argue is the greatest victory a north korean dictator ever got, there he is next to the president of the united states being treated as equal. he is dealing with putin the same way. here is the challenge you have got. russia and president said it in his statement a few minutes ago, russia is a fact. it is a huge country. it is largest producer of oil and

vladmir putin potential visit to washington this fall, making headlines.sman darrell issa from california serves on foreign affairs committee. what do you make of that exchange there with dan coats? >> i think it is a cheap media shot to surprise somebody, to see if you can get something to go viral on the internet as a result. you know there is nothing unusual about foreign leaders, whether it is bibi netanyahu or, you know, in this case putin, potentially come together white house. first of all it is not announced as a state visit. this is not about honoring something because right now the president has a large list of demands where he is demanding that russia step up to the plate in syria, in iran, in north korea and be part of the solution instead of part of the problem. melissa: yeah. he has been to the white house before when he visited george w. bush. he, we had medvedev came to the white house in order to meet with president obama. now you have a lot of democrats, and you know, some in the intelligence community making a big deal out of the fact th

going to be no doubt trying to dial back some of the criticism he has gotten over his visit from vladmir putin. i imagine almost every day comes out with a statement to prove how tough he is on the russians. he has been tougher than most american presidents in the post-world war ii era. today i'm concerned russia will be fighting very hard to have impact on upcoming election based on the president is tougher on russia than me. he will be pushing hard for the democrats. they definitely don't want trump. what do you make of that? >> well on one hand it is important i think, that the president does recognize the threat that's out there to the integrity of our election process. on the other hand, you know, i would prefer he doesn't put it in a partisan context.

>> vladmir putin wants to divide us domestically. he already knows we have a lot of partisan bickering going on. look at the evidence from john brennan. he wants to drive a wedge between the united states and our allies, particularly nato allies and germany in particular. ukraine, what really threatens vladmir putin the most is democracy. nothing scares him more than a country like ukraine with a sizable russian population, commitment to the rule of law, tilting towards the european union and nato. we need to be strong about defending ukraine's territorial integrity. vladmir putin is up to level 11 targeting nights with see per espionages which he came from the kgb. >> before i let you go, great point with respect to dividing america. i made that as well. everyone says he played trump on press conference. i think he played america. i think he played our press. he said i wanted trump to win. he knew it was equivalent of kicking an anthill, we would go crazy and pointing fingers and divisiveness would be more so. you mentioned ukraine.

let's not forget that the president goes to meet vladmir putin on monday in in in helsinki. relationship between russia and uk is icy coal, the worst since the cold war. interesting to see what she says about mr. putin and president trump's relationship with russia. trish: as we watch the pictures coming to us live right now of the president and first lady standing alongside theresa may and her husband, we're reminded that as much as this is pomp and circumstance there are parts of the uk not very fond of our president. we saw some protests of course earlier. one can imagine that they will continue a bit there as night sets in london where there is not much appreciation for either our president or "brexit" for that matter, ashley. >> they lump them together to be honest with you. the same sentiment got "brexit" through and got donald trump elected. trish, you go into the middle of london, no, donald trump will not be that popular. but you go out to the countryside he has a lot more support. you will see tremendously loud, possibly raucous protests especially tomorrow where mo

if a democratic president was making nice with vladmir putin or meeting with dictator of north korea, a lot of these republican lawmakers would be going bonkers because they are falling into line. not to say we can't have a constructive relationship with russia. it is hard. this will come home in terms of media coverage when the president meets with putin one-on-one after nato meeting. hard for many to understand why the president isn't a little tougher on russia, particularly on the question, proven beyond a doubt meddling in the 2016 election. adam: howie kurtz, thanks for joining us. watch how which an "mediabuzz" on fox news channel, 11:00 a.m. eastern time on sunday. >>> we're heading into the final hour of the trading day of week. will the dow snap its losing streak? stay with us. adam: want to check on markets as we head into the final hour of trading. the dow is up 123 points. we had terrific wage growth. even if it is not being what some would like, it is terrific report. to discuss this, trader todd horowitz and susan li joins us. let me start with you. year-over-year wage g

germany wants to protect itself from the likes of vladmir putin and russia. 1.2% they're paying, despitehe fax we're paying nearly 4% to nato. are we running a risk enabling russia some ways economically, by having this pipeline back and forth through germany and russia? you heard what the president said in working meeting, you're making putin rich. why should we protect you if you're making him rich? >> two quick things. one, be careful about conflating 4 1/2% of gdp we put into our military with the 2% goal for nato. we're worldwide. i mean that 4 1/2% includes defense of the united states. it includes significant presence -- trish: percent going to nato. forget that. i say nearly 4%, i'm specifying 3.6% we put into nato. >> that is not into nato. that is into everything that includes europe. for example, some of our major medical facilities to treat people coming out of the mid-east and out of afghanistan are in germany. that is really, it is easy thing to say, this is how much we're spending in the european theater. that is where we project our force into the middle east for example.

it puts himself in better negotiating position when he shuts down with vladmir putin in particular. putin, if nature looked fractured. >> absolutely. the last thing vladmir putin wants to see, strong, strengthening, filling up the covers nato, that is what he is walking into. 2% is nice by 2024 but we would like to get everybody up to 4%. he is planning for a future for nato. hoping that everybody gets on board with the higher numbers, sees an increase over all those years in the defense for nato. this is the strongest military alliance in the world. it is right on vladmir putin's doorstep. it puts them in very interesting negotiating position. he is not a friend. he is not enemy. a competitor. perhaps some day he will be a friend. the idea perhaps that the president believes alliance with russia is important when it comes to the relationship with china, i think he would like to drive a wedge of some sort between those two nations, bring russia over to our way of seeing things, at least on points where we can agree on tern elements of national defense. steve: maybe that would prompt
