| 0:00.0 | All right, Alexander, let's talk about what is going on between Trump and Putin, between the United States and in Russia. |
| 0:09.1 | The New York Post, they put out an interesting story a couple of days ago, claiming that Trump has called Putin. |
| 0:17.7 | They've had a phone conversation, though in that interview on Air Force One, |
| 0:24.6 | you didn't have a direct quote from Trump saying as much, but once again, on Air Force One, |
| 0:35.8 | Trump did indeed tell reporters that he has spoken to Putin. Now, we don't |
| 0:41.0 | have any dates or any type of timeline. We don't even know how many times they've talked to |
| 0:48.1 | each other. But you do have Trump now on record saying that he has spoken with Putin. So I guess that means something |
| 0:58.2 | that's an official statement, official recognition from the president that there has been a |

| 1:37.3 | which I would mean will force Peskov of the Kremlin to have to issue another statement |
| 1:43.1 | and perhaps say that there have |
| 1:45.3 | been conversations between the two leaders. I don't know. What are your thoughts on this? |
| 1:48.7 | Well, on the very last point, when Peskov actually said, I mean, it was actually a really |
| 1:55.3 | rather funny comment from Peskov. He's like, I can't confirm it, I can't deny it, all kinds |
| 2:00.1 | of contacts taking place all the time. I can't confirm it, I can't deny it, all kinds of contacts, |
| 1:58.4 | taking place all the time. I don't keep track of everything. It might be that something's happened and I don't know about it. And for that reason, I can't confirm. He has no idea. He has no idea. He has no idea. His boss is talking to the president of the United States and Pescov doesn't know anything. |
| 2:02.5 | Pescov can be quite humorous at times, |
