Prevagen. The name to remember.
>>> I’M MEETING WITH PRESIDENT PUTIN NEXT WEEK.
NOW THEY’RE SAYING WITH PUTIN,
WELL, PUTIN IS HIGHLY PREPARED.
AND TRUMP, WILL HE BE PREPARE
FRDED
FRDED FOR THE MEETING, TRUST ME, WE’LL
DO JUST FINE.
AND WILL PRESIDENT TRUMP BE
PREPARED, YOU KNOW, PRESIDENT
PUTIN AND KGB AND THIS AND THAT.
YOU KNOW WHAT?
PUTIN’S FINE.
PUTIN’S FINE. HE’S FINE.
HE’S FINE. WE’RE ALL FINE.
WE’RE PEOPLE.
WE’RE PEOPLE. WILL I BE PREPARED?
TOTALLY PREPARED.
TOTALLY PREPARED. I’VE BEEN PREPARING FOR THIS
STUFF MY WHOLE LIFE.
THEY DON’T SAY TAT.
>> THE WHITE HOUSE CONFIRMED
TODAY PRESIDENT TRUMP WILL BE
SPEAKING ONE-ON-ONE WITH RUSSIAN
PRESIDENT VLADIMIR PUTIN DURING
THEIR JULY 16th SUMMIT IN
FINLAND.
FINLAND. THE ADMINISTRATION SAYS THE
PRESIDENT WILL QUOTE, CONTINUE
TO HOLD RUSSIA ACCOUNTABLE FOR
ITS MALIGNED ACTIVITY.
THE OFFICIAL SAYS THAT COULD
INCLUDE RUSSIA INTERFERENCE AS
WELL AS ACTIVITY IN UKRAINE.
BUT ONCE THE TWENTY-TWO MEN ARE
ALONE THERE’S NO TELLING WHAT
REALLY WILL BE DISCUSSED.
THERE’S NO PLAN TO HAVE A NOTE
TAKER.
TAKER. ANYONE ELSE IN THAT ROOM AND
THIS WEEK A DELEGATION OF
REPUBLICAN SENATOR, SEEN HERE,
TRAVELED TO MOSKOW TO MEET WITH
FOREIGN MINISTER AND HIS STAFF.
"THE WASHINGTON POST" REPORTS
THE DELEGATION -- THE PAPER
QUOTES ONE RUSSIAN OFFICIAL AS
SAYING THE MEETING WAS ONE OF
THE EASIEST ONES IN MY LIFE.
HERE’S HOW ONE OF THE REPUBLICAN
SENATORS WHO WAS IN THAT
DELEGATION DESCRIBED THE TALKS.
>> IT WAS A PRODUCTIVE VISIT.
WE SENT A VERY STRONG MESSAGE
AND A DIRECT MESSAGE TO THE
RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT.
RUSSIAN GOVERNMENT. FIRST OF ALL, DON’T INTERFERE IN
U.S. ELECTIONS.
U.S. ELECTIONS. >> EARLIER THIS EVENING ON THIS
NETWORK FORMER CIA DIRECTOR JOHN
BRENNEN SAID HE’S WORRIED ABOUT
THE SENATORS MOSKOW VISIT AND
WHAT IT COULD MEAN FOR THE
TRUMP-PUTIN MOSKOW SIT DOWN.
>> THE IDEA IS THEY’RE GIVING
WAY TO THE RUSSIANS.
IT’S NOT SOMETHING TO SIGNAL TO
RUSSIA THAT THERE ARE GOING TO
BE COSTS TO PAY FOR ANY TYPE OF,
YOU KNOW, CONTINUED
INTERFERENCE.
INTERFERENCE. IT’S GOING TO BE WE’RE GOING TO
FORGIVE AND FORGET.
>> MALCOLM NANCE IS A LONG TIME
U.S. FORMED FORCES VETERAN OF
INTELLIGENCE.
INTELLIGENCE. HIS LATEST BOOK, "THE PLOT TO
DESTROY DEMOCRACY, HOW PUTIN AND
HIS SPIES ARE UNDERMINING
AMERICA AND DISMANTLING THE
WASTE."
WASTE." DEBUTED AT NUMBER NINE ON "THE
NEW YORK TIMES" BEST SELLERS
LIST.
LIST. WELCOME TO BOTH OF YOU.
MALCOLM, WE KNEW THERE WAS A
RALLY TONIGHT.
RALLY TONIGHT. BUT THAT ONE WAS POPCORN WORTHY.
IT WAS UNUSUAL.
THE PRESIDENT SAYING HE’S BEEN
PREPARED FOR THIS ALL HIS LIFE
AND WILL DO JUST FINE.
HE DOES NOT SEEM TO BE HEADING
INTO THIS MEETING WITH THE
SERIOUSNESS THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE
THINK IT DESERVES.
>> NO.
>> NO. HE SORT OF HAS THIS CHAMBERLAIN
CHAMBERLAIN-ESQUE ATTITUDE.
CHAMBERLAIN-ESQUE ATTITUDE. WE KNOW HE WAS TAKING RUSSIAN
MONEY IS SELLING REAL ESTATE
WITH THEM FOR YEARS, AND WE ALSO
KNOW IN 2012 HE MET WITH THE TOP
RUSSIAN OLIGARCHS AND RECEIVED
THEIR VERSION OF EVENTS FOR OVER
TWO HOURS AND SINCE THAT TIME
HAS BEEN SPOUTING IT.
QUITE HONESTLY DONALD TRUMP IS
GOING THERE TO MEET WITH HIS
HANDLER.
HANDLER. HE’S GOING TO MEET WITH THE GUY
HE’S BEEN WORSHIPPING AND
ADMIRING FOR YEARS, NOT JUST THE
LAST TWO YEARS.
AND THAT DOESN’T BODE WELL FOR
THE UNITED STATES.
I THINK HE’S GOING TO LAY DOWN
ON THIS ONE, AND I THINK THEY
WILL RAISE RUSSIAN SANCTIONS
WITHIN MONTHS IF NOT JUST BY
EXECUTIVE FIAT.
EXECUTIVE FIAT. >> BRIAN, THERE ARE LEGITIMATE
CONCERNS BETWEEN THE
RELATIONSHIP THE PRESIDENT AND
RUSSIANS.
RUSSIANS. WITH THAT CLOUD, WHY HAVE A
MEETING IN WHICH NO ONE ELSE
WILL BE PRESENT?
>> IT’S REAL INTERESTING THE
WHITE HOUSE IS SO DIRECT IN
SAYING THAT ONLY THE TWO MEN
WILL BE IN THE ROOM.
OBVIOUSLY WITH TRANSLATORS IF
THEY WANT TO HAVE THAT TO MAKE
IT EASIER FOR THEM TO CONVERSE.
DONALD TRUMP HAS SAID DURING THE
CAMPAIGN AND SINCE HE WAS
ELECTED HE WANTS TO TRY TO HAVE
A BETTER RELATIONSHIP WITH
RUSSIA AND A BETTER RELATIONSHIP
WITH VLADIMIR PUTIN IN
PARTICULAR.
PARTICULAR. AND DONALD TRUMP PUTS A LOT OF
STAKE IN HIS ABILITY TO DEVELOP
A PERSONAL RAPPORT WITH SOMEONE.
AND HE WANTS TO HAVE THAT TIME
BY HIMSELF WITH VLADIMIR PUTIN
TO TRY TO BREAK THROUGH THE
TENSIONS THAT HAVE BEDELVED
U.S.-RUSSIAN RELATIONS FOR THE
LAST DECADE.
LAST DECADE. ESPECIALLY IN THE PUTIN ERA HAS
RUSSIA HAS BEEN BACKSLIDING ON
DEMOCRATIC VALUES AND INVADING
CRIMEA AND A BAD ACTOR IN SYRIA.
AND SO DONALD TRUMP BELIEVES HE
CAN FIX IT, AND HE IS GOING TO
BE ABLE TO SIT IN A ROOM WITH
PUTIN AND COME TO ANOTHER -- A
NEW WAY OF THE U.S. INTERACTING
WITH RUSSIA.
WITH RUSSIA. >> BUT, YOU KNOW, MALCOLM, THE
PRESIDENT SAYS THINGS LIKE
PUTIN’S FINE.
PUTIN’S FINE. HE’S JUST FINE.
JOURNALISTS HAVE DIED IN RUSSIA.
POLITICAL OPPONENTS HAVE DIED.
POLITICAL OPPONENTS HAVE BEEN
JAILED.
JAILED. YOU KNOW, GEORGE WILL HAS
WRITTEN A COLUMN ABOUT THIS
SUMMIT.
SUMMIT. HE SAYS A TRUMP SUMMIT WITH KIM
COULD
COULD COULDFORE TELL
COULDFORE TELL COULDFORETELL CUTRASTROPHY.
COULDFORETELL CUTRASTROPHY. IT IS REMARKABLE THE PRESIDENT
CONTINUES TO DOWN-PLAY NOT JUST
THE EFFECT RUSSIA HAS HAD IN
INTERFERENCE IN OTHER ELECTIONS
BUT THE IDEA VLADIMIR PUTIN IS
OKAY AND HE’S A GOOD GUY TO
BEFRIEND.
BEFRIEND. >> YEAH, AND DONALD TRUMP
OBVIOUSLY IN SOME WAY, SHAPE OR
FORM THAT’S YET TO BE DETERMINED
IS IN DEBT TO VLADIMIR PUTIN.
TODAY HE NORMALIZED THE KGB.
HE SPOKE AS IF BEING A KGB
OFFICER, A CAREER OFFICER, THEIR
MOTTO WAS ONCE KGB, ALWAYS KGB,
HE RUNS THAT COUNTRY WITH FOUR
TOP ADVISERS WHO ARE EX-KGB AND
HE MURDERS PEOPLE.
HE SUBVERTS AMERICAN DEMOCRACY,
AND DONALD TRUMP TODAY
NORMALIZED HIM JUST AS HE
NORMALIZED THE NAZIS IN
CHARLOTTESVILLE.
CHARLOTTESVILLE. THIS IS VERY DANGEROUS FOR
AMERICAN DEMOCRACY.
AMERICAN DEMOCRACY. AND TO HAVE SEVERAL AMERICAN
SENATORS GO THROUGH TO PAVE THE
WAY IN THIS GRAND APPEASEMENT OF
MOSKOW ONLY SHOWS THE REPUBLICAN
PARTY HAS SURRENDERED TO THIS
RUSSIA, AND THIS WILL HURT THIS
AMERICAN CONSTITUTIONAL REPUBLIC
SERIOUSLY.
SERIOUSLY. JOHN BRENNEN WAS ABSOLUTELY
RIGHT.
RIGHT. >> LET’S LISTEN TO SOMETHING
ELSE JOHN BRENNEN SAID A LITTLE
EARLIER THIS EVENING ABOUT BOTH
DONALD TRUMP’S APPROACH TO NORTH
KOREA AND RUSSIA.
>> MR. TRUMP IS DEALING AWAY
WHETHER IT BE THE NORTH KOREANS,
WITH THE RUSSIANS, WHATEVER, ALL
THE THINGS THAT ARE IN U.S.
NATIONAL INTEREST AND GIVING
THEM WHAT THEY WANT.
THE RUSSIANS WILL FEINT
SINCERITY BETTER THAN ANYONE
I’VE EVER DEALT WITH IN MY LIFE.
AND I THINK MR. TRUMP IS NOT
SOPHISTICATED ENOUGH,
SOPHISTICATED ENOUGH, UNFORTUNATELY, TO DEAL WITH
THESE FOREIGN LEADERS IN A
MANNER THAT IS GOING TO PROTECT
U.S. NATIONAL SECURITY INTEREST.
>> BRIAN, A YEAR AND A HALF AGO
JOHN McCAIN AND LINDSEY GRAHAM
WERE CEASELESS IN THEIR PRESSURE
WITH THE PRESIDENT ABOUT THEIR
STRATEGY TOWARDS RUSSIA.
AND NOW WE HAVE REPUBLICAN
SENATORS BASICALLY ACTING AN AS
ADVANCE TEAM FOR THE PRESIDENT.
WHAT HAPPENED TO THE REPUBLICAN
PARTY AND THE CONCERN IT
REMEMBERS IN THE COLD WAR?
>> WELL, THIS IS SOMETHING
RUSSIA HAS BEEN FRUSTRATED WITH
FOR MONTHS.
FOR MONTHS. THEY HAVE HEARD FROM DONALD
TRUMP HE WANTS TO HAVE A BETTER
RELATIONSHIP, AND THEY FELT LIKE
THEY WEREN’T SEEING ENOUGH
CONCESSIONS COMING FROM CONGRESS
IN PARTICULAR.
IN PARTICULAR. AND SO THEY WANTED TO HAVE A
HIGH LEVEL DELEGATION COME FROM
CONGRESS TO MEET IN MOSKOW.
AND THERE’S A REASON THAT A HIGH
LEVEL DELEGATION HASN’T COME
FROM CONGRESS TO GO TO MOSKOW IN
THE PUTIN ERA AND THAT IS
BECAUSE PUTIN HAS TURNED HIS
BACK ON DEMOCRACY.
AND THAT WAS A CONCERN AMONG
LAWMAKERS THAT BY MEETING WITH
LAWMAKERS OF THE MEMBERS OF
LOWER AND UPPER HOUSE OF
LEGISLATOR IN MOSKOW IT WOULD BE
