Okay, so President Trump has met now with Vladimir Putin. They met for about two hours this morning, and they spent a lot of the time talking about |
| 2:01.4 | various issues, specifically about Russian election meddling. Now, Putin came out afterward, |
| 2:05.2 | and he said, we talk about election meddling, but I tell him I know do it. And then President |
| 2:09.6 | Trump comes out and he says, we talked about it and we talked about it very lengthy. And that was |
| 2:14.2 | pretty much the only thing we found out from this meeting. And they spent enormous amount of time talking specifically about the election meddling. And Putin says, we did not view this.

| 2:59.2 | left seems to go wrong. They seem to immediately connect everything Trump says with everything |
| 3:03.3 | Trump does. But there is a massive problem with doing that inside this administration. President Trump very often acts like a free agent inside his own administration. He goes out and he says stuff. And then the people who do his policy behind closed doors, they do a policy that looks nothing like what he said. We've seen this over and over and over. We've seen President Trump say, while he was a candidate, that he wanted health care for all. and then as soon as he got into place, then all of a sudden his people were pushing the |
| 3:26.8 | repeal of Obamacare. |
