White house says the summit is on. A senator leading the charge to make it stop is here. What a friday, the 13th. Yup, thats what it is. Lets get after it. So in less than 72 hours, President Trump will sit down with Vladimir Putin if everything holds steady at this point. I will be in helsinki, finland, to report for you, but no one will be in the room where it happens except putin and trump and arguably their interpreters. So will the president put it to putin . There is reason for doubt that he will. Why . Two points. One, after learning about the latest indictment of 12 of putins people earlier this week, trump still said the Putin Meeting was going to be easy. Two, as recently as two weeks ago, trump was still taking putins word over that of the u. S. Intelligence community, something that he has done over and over. I said, you know, this russia thing with trump and russia is a madeup story. I believe that president putin really feels, and he feels strongly, that he did not meddle
florida. right in the region of where mar-a-lago is. you know what trump said? crickets. kind of shrugged it off. not a damn thing. there are the missiles coming down to florida. chris, i lived there for a long time. i was there for seven years. i understand russia fairly well. i think each one of our presidents, like i said, have come in with kind of pollyanna looks on their faces and they learned, each one of them, that they can t trust vladimir putin. i think we re at a point now, and the chapter and verse in these indictments, i think they re weak. i think it s feckless. i think we should be attacking back with our military capacity on the internet. i think we should be draining chairman carr bov of the gru s bank accounts right now, today. but having said that, these indictments are a pretty clear description of facts and truths that need to inform the president s meeting with vladimir putin. hopefully. it s turned a light on. i think it s turned a light on, and i hope
