For analysis of a busy news week that's culminated with President Trump's meeting with Vladimir Putin, we turn now to the analysis of Brooks and Capehart.

That is New York Times columnist David Brooks and Jonathan Capehart of MSNBC. Good to see you both.

Hi, I'm glad.

So this summit we saw between President Trump and Putin, Jonathan, it began with that handshake on the red carpet, a warm greeting between

these two men. The first time Putin was met by a major Western leader since the full-scale

invasion of Ukraine. And as you heard Nick report at the top of the show, no clear deliverables

out of this summit, no questions taken from reporters either, but progress and agreement to another

meeting. What was accomplished here?

I don't know. After looking at the, well, I was going to say press conference, it wasn't even a press conference,

but maybe this was the diplomatic equivalent of could have been an email. I'm still trying to understand what came out of this meeting.

There was a lot of conversation about we've agreed to something

and the president saying that he's gonna call NATO

and he's gonna call Zelenskyy.

Putin's saying he hopes basically the Europeans

don't throw a wrench in it and yet we still don't know what that is.

And so you fly all that way.

At least I was hoping that we would get at least one piece of paper that had the framework

of something that they talked about.

David, as you know, going into these kinds of summits, there's usually a lot of preparation that didn't happen in this case. There's usually clear deliverables. Was this progress? The fact that the summit happened at all? No, I don't think it was progress just that it happened. He gave credibility to a war criminal. So I don't count that as progress. I want to say this is the weirdest to have to try to comment about.

Because it's like watching two guys eat salad.

And then I'm supposed to say, here's what it means for world history.

Like Vladimir Putin talked like Sarah Palin
