in the room. i can't remember when that wouldn't happen. but second they didn't have a note taker. and that is important for a couple of reasons. one because of this he said/he said kind of outcome. believe me i dealt with that with sergei lavrov when i was in the government. we had to dweel that to rebut things he would say. but more importantly there is a transcript for the rest of the trump administration. how do you make policy or implement policy when you are flying blind you don't know what was said. that was a big mistake on their part. >> gentlemen good to talk to you. thanks for being with us. coming up next ahead of this all important meeting with vladimir putin, the president was reliving 2016. tweeting about former clinton chairman john podesta. that's ahead when "the 11th hour" returns.
