russian federation. it's just double standard. if the left didn't have any double standards they wouldn't have any standards at all. russia is a nuclear power, one of the five permanent members of the u.n. security council, it is right that the president meet with vladimir putin and talk to him as tough as he talks to xi jinping. this is geopolitics. you meet with other heads of state whether they're good guys or not. >> sean: quick comment, ambassador? >> no, i think that's exactly right. and so we'll see what happens with the putin meeting. >> sean: one last question, i have a little more time, doctor, what are your thoughts on this issue of judge moore, especially in light of my interview tonight? >> look, i think it was very important interview. i will say one thing, having met judge moore, he's not a slick political dyed in the pool
