Willing to engage in this, keep the conversation and happily just bat these away with his attitude like evelyn is describing rather than a moment to talk to the american people about anything else like russias place in the world, strategy through the middle east what their intentions are in the border of nato, i mean this was a big moment and putin knew it, talking to nbc, like the "60 minutes" interview last year, he was happy to play coy cat and mouse with megyn kelly about cyber security and ...

Vladimir putin trying to steer the conversation away from russia and on to a mysterious would-be 3-year-old hacker in his conversation with megyn kelly? >> i dont think anyone should be surprised about that. its in his interests and the countrys interests to deflect the action that they took. but i think based on everything that is known publicly at this point about the intelligence community in the united states, and thats the fbi, the csi, dia, all of those agencies, the entire intelligence co...

>> dont worry, be happy. >> reporter: and, like the white house, vladimir putin today blamed the democrats for what he called the hysteria over the russian hacking during the campaign. "does someone have a pill? give it to them," president putin said. "honestly its just incredible." and in his most belittling tone, the russian president claimed the clinton camp was behaving like anti-semites who blame the jews for everything. "a hacker could make it look like a 3-year-old did it," he said. "that...

>> vladimir putin set to speak about u.s.-russia business relationships. the event comes one day after the russian leader denied the government interfered in the election but did suggest patriotic hacker in his country may have independently played a role. lets bring in clare sebastian live from moscow. again saying that the government had no role but taking this step we had not seen or heard from putin up until this point. >> yeah we have to be careful not to overinterpret this. this is a more ...

The second thing is that putin -- and the russians in general, really like to take advantage of western values. who could argue with a creative hacker getting up in the morning and saying ining i will do this. there are servers in russian sha -- they will remain on russian soil. its so the government can find out who these people are. if he wanted to, he could find them immediately and stop it if he wanted to. >> its interesting to hear him say that nobody can influence an election in another co...

Other propaganda efforts looking at what they did in the united states, you know, obvious measures were starting here in 2014 pushing russia foreign policy measures. that doesnt seem like a typical hacker thing to do is pushing the kremlins bottom line. >> why would it be patriotic for a patriotic russian thing to doing to interfere in the in election, nada? >> well, i dont think necessarily it would be a patriotic option for just the average person who is struggling to survive maybe looking for...

Allegations saying even a kid could do it. >> they can be invented, you know? there are very much specialists that can fix it up. you know, a kid of yours can send it. your gl that is 3-year-old can perpetrate sufficient an attack. and they present it like this, they can pass it off like this. and then they can blame someone else. these are not proofs. >> to talk more about this, lance james, the chief scientist at flash point, a company that specializes in security and threat intelligence. in a...

You need to be when you work on capitol hill. kacie, thank you very much. >> thanks, katy. russian president vladimir putin again denied that his country was involved in this election hacking. >> translator: it is my contention that no hacker will have control in any country. in syria, it is possible. nevertheless, i must stress that at the state level, we are never engaged in these kinds of activities. >> this has the house intelligence committee issued seven subpoenas related to alleged ties...

Coal. and the cost of renewables have come down so coal miners havent been affected much, theyre really affected by forces. pulling out of the paris agreement isnt going to change that. >> last thing, charlie, lets talk about donald trumps tweet overnight. im not even going to try to pronounce the word that appeared on his twitter because i dont think i could. people mocked him on twitter for leaving this tweet up for so many hours. thats not the point i want to make. talk to me about the securi...
