irrational affinity and i think affection on donald trump's part for vladimir putin. >> in every ut terance the president went out of his way to praise vladimir putin, to speak highly of him. >> he bragged about what a good, strong leader putin was when confronted by our colleagues. >> he is running his country. at least he is a leader, unlike what we have in this country. >> again, he kills journalists that don't agree with him. >> well, i think our country does plenty of killing also. >> you and i get to hang out around terrific experts. we get to have them on our broadcasts. you take a guy like malcolm nance, a 35-year veteran of counterterrorism, get him started on vice-president. >> he views kgb officers as the new nobility of russia. they are the pinnacle of russian society. he uses them on a daily basis.
