to respond to some of our media? they will get greivel. steve: ask him directly why did you meddle? the u.s. grand jury has returned indictments against a dozen russian spies essentially who tried to hack our elections. mr. putin, please, explain why that didn t happen. brian: when ambassador bolton kind of let us know that vladimir putin told him when they had the pregame for this big show, he said, it was not state sponsored. so it already showed that he is moving off his we had nothing to do with this election. and by the way if we were wondering where aj went, did he get permission to go to helsinki. ainsley: i m here with the best crew. aj they are talking about you. he i m here with a.j. nikki. we get credit on air but they are the real reason. allowing air time to see what s happening here. in the west the weather here is crazy. do you know that we have
an interesting talking points between president trump and president putin to get those iranians pushed back off the buffer zone in israel. abby: look, we have seen this reset button before president putin and barack obama most recently. you have trump who has a very different background. he comes in as a businessman, someone who has negotiated for much of his life. how can that benefit this, do you think? like i said, i think trump and his economic aspects, last week i heard people say nics and military or defense are not tied. in i completely disagree. both are tied in together. so i think that gives as aspect to go against putin. i believe putin would love to get back into the g-7, make it to the g-8. he has that piece. i think he needs to be careful. putin with his background at the intelligence service is he a strong negotiator.

whole thing about expectations the president loves the drama. and i think we are hearing all of this and it s nonsense. nothing is going to happen. putin has already won. it s nonsense. brian: ainsley, so much unscripted about what s about to take place. all right the closed door meeting with 45 minutes with just translators and then we have the bilateral. we don t know where that s coming. evidently the president s staff is a little bit more hard ball than he is. then you have the unscripted press conference followed up by a very tough questioner chris wallace as he sits down with vladimir putin. i laugh when these prognosticators say they know what s going to happen or victory has already been done. no one has any idea what s going to happen, ainsley. ainsley: that s right. in journalism school the worst thing can you do is write the story before you go out in the field u that s what the new york times is doing here you need to be presents and find the story. there weren t many pro
could tell new singapore there was a bigger buzz about it. very quiet and calm. ainsley and i have seen that the last couple days. not as much hype. could end up dlifertion more hype or no hype. the bigger issue is listen to the new york times i have the international edition in the my hotel. when president putin of russia sits down with president trump in helsinki he will have accomplished everything i could have reasonably hopes for. go home, turn off the cameras, putin has already won. that s what the new york times is saying to abby s question, before singapore, i heard much the same. i was covering that people say kim jong un has already won he wanted his photo op. with the miner president. that was bunk. that was nonsense. president trump we were covering him in the middle of the night he said folks, we about to go sign something, get ready that
