And we discussed it. it wasnt just one question. there were a lot of them. he devoted a lot of time to this issue. our position is well-known and i repeated it. there is no basis for thinking that russia interfered in the election process. what is important is that we agreed that the uncertainty on these matters cannot exist especially in the future. >> joining us now, matthew chance who has interviewed vladimir putin twice in the past. what is the reaction in russia there to this historic trump...

Say what hes going to do with regard to russian interference and i think hes made it quite clear with the development of his voter integrity panel that hes going to look into problems with our election process and he is also part of that involves looking at the elections systems across the country and it will provide some necessary answers on russian interference. >> are you laughing about the portion about it sound like its okay to not have consequences? what part of that -- >> there are two th...

Russia is very rich that way. >> true. that sounds -- uncomfortably close to blaming the bank for being ronald. we know that these things can happen. you can penetrate all sorts of inboxes and people get good at this. but theres a violation here that remains massively unresolved. and back to your point, from the context of any political situation that will move forward in this relationship, it cant just hang around as an unresolved thing and expect the politics to change. thank you both for your...

But it could be an american tv program that best describes the putin/trump relationship. >> i think putin views trump as an apprentice. >> at the heart of all this are some deadly serious questions. does vladimir putin have some kind of pull over donald trump. did he tamper with the american election? >> i tried to ask him. mr. putin agreed to answer my -- didnt agree to answer my questions but his press aid did. fl the answer is very simple. no. your humiliating yourself saying that country can...

>> well, first of all, let me just say that we have an awful lot to be proud of in the conduct of our elections in our country. its not because of the work i do, but the work our neighbors do, our local election clerks, city clerks, ballot clerks. the work that they do is extraordinary, which kind of takes us to where we are right now. the questions that came from the president that led to the formation of this commission and they asked me to be a part of it. one of the things thats been discuss...

So it wouldnt surprise me a bit. but, no, i have not seen reports that there are more coming in. >> the presidents statement today, "nobody knows for sure whether the russians hacked the u.s. election." whats the impact of a statement like that? >> well, you know, first of all, its a contradiction of something that we know to be true. and jim comey and his testimony after he was fbi director said it in a lot more clear fashion than he could when he was fbi director. theres not any doubt that the...

Its critical 3,000 mile threshold where they now have a missile that could potentially reach alaska, maybe even hawaii. once they militarize that weapon that could put american cities in grave danger. just to loop back to the length of the meeting. i think its good the leaders talked. i do worry a little bit that the leaders will come out and say that the relationship is solidified, on a strong path. i think we have to start from a little bit of a different premise. we have to start from the pre...
