the vladimir putin thing alone is something that doesn't help trump. the frame of the day is going to be this is a tight race and choose doing everything she can to fight him off. that tiedn't think is a raise in the sense trump has a path to 270 but in arrow path. it grows only through those estates. he's got not many other ways to go. he's got not a lot of other options. when you look at the other -- arizona, texas come all of these other places that she is on offense and he's on defense. last night, she did seem defensive, annoyed when she was questioned by matt lauer about her e-mail practices. one of the big problems with that event, i think she should have wanted it to be an hour so she could talk more about substance because once you talks about substance, i think she has the upper hand. mark: critics said trump had a lack of substance, lack of specifics, he was hit for saying america's generals have been reduce to rubble. yet again, he was criticized correctly for mischaracterizing his own past statements regarding whether he was for or against

talking about vladimir putin right there. your reaction to senator graham? >> i think trump was clear. he doesn't support the type of government. he doesn't support how putin is doing things. he says clearly he has been being a good leader. imagine who's going to get a better response from putin. someone who said hey, look, i don't agree with you on everything but you're doing a good job in your own right. >> why make the comparison? why do you want to compliment anyone if this is the type of person he is? can't you say in two different sentences i don't like the leadership of donald -- i don't like the leadership of barack obama and you don't have to say anything about russia? >> russia's a huge power out there that we want to get along with somehow, some way. donald trump is billion that relationship for when he's president. >> i don't think i've -- i don't know, maybe i missed it, but has he ever criticized vladimir putin for his crackdowns on the press, for the russian takeover of crcrimea? >> saying i don't agree with the way he runs his government but

vladimir putin. trump has praised putin before, but this time the republican nominee seemed to align, at least on certain issues, with putin in an interview that aired on russian television. campaign representatives say that if they had known the trump appearance would be seen on the kremlin-backed network, that he would not have done the interview. this is what trump has said about whether he believes russia launched a covert operation to disrupt the 2016 u.s. election. >> i think it's probably unlikely. i think maybe -- maybe the democrats are putting that out. who knows. but i think that it's pretty unlikely. but, who knows? i hope that if they are doing something, i hope that somebody's going to be able to find out so that they can end it. because that would not be appropriate at all. >> trump also said he had "absolutely no opinion" on the fbi investigating whether russians hacked into democratic party e-mails. we will dive deeper into his appearance on rtv. >>> but first to hillary clinton's na

what do you think vladimir putin is up to? what is his objective to let the world know russia is a great power, but more than that presumably. >> two things, and they are intertwined. first, russia's status in the world and that particularly applies to the area we see very clearly in ukraine. it will be interesting to see what happens as we have secession challenges in central asia where china begins to play an increasingly important role and the other thing, and i'm struck by this, there is a domestic portion to vladimir putin's agenda. when people ask me what he is really up to, it is not just about fulfilling russia's greatness of the world, it is also about defending his regime and specifically legitimizing his brand of authoritarian rule. we kiddingly call it managed democracy. they just had an election, multiple parties. but in other ways, he is in my view a little defensive. more than a little defensive. what we are seeing domestically is to legitimize his regime he is constantly attacking the west and the u.s. which in

should have with vladimir putin. here's some of what donald trump had to say, followed by hillary clinton's response today. >> i think i would have a very, very good relationship with putin, and i think i would have a very, very good relationship with russia. >> let me ask you about some of things you've said about vladimir putin. you said, i will tell you, in terms of leadership, he's getting an a. our president is not doing so well. >> well, he duds have an 82% approval rating according to the different pollsters. >> he's also a guy who annexed crimea and, according to our intelligence community, probably is the main suspect for the hacking of the d.n.c. computers. >> well, nobody knows that for a fact, but do you want me to start naming some of the things that president obama does? >> but once again, he praised russia's strong man, vladimir putin, even taking the astonishing step of suggesting that he prefers the russian president to our american president. i was just thinking about all of the presidents that woul

guy: vladimir putin talking there. wrap things up briefly, when we look at what he said on oil, what was the takeaway? >> he russia backs the of green with opec. he said whether iran should be allowed extra quota to make up for the lost production because of sanctions. that is something russia would like to see a compromise on. guy: tune in to watch our exclusive interview. don't miss our special report on monday. we are joined now with a preview of the u.s. payroll report. 180 is the number. what are we expecting? if we look at the last five to 10 years, august has tended -- that is giving forecasters pause heading into this number. to make here,nt this is not a cliffhanger report. gdp was running at two point 2%. it is a full percentage points lower. now. 1.2% that is a slower pace. right now, we are looking at gdp that averaged less than 1% heading into september. it would be inappropriate, as well. alix: what is topping the g20 agenda this year? >> inclusive and interconnected development is a central theme of the

what's your take on donald trump and his view of vladimir putin? >> well, i think the last thing this country needs as president is a stooge of vladimir putin. who stands against america. on our policies, in syria, in iran. you just name the place. he's working against us. and he undermeans our values. this is a strong man. this is a very dictatorial type of leader. who has jailed his opponents. and some say even murdered them. so to me, it is shocking, it is distressing. and i think it's unamerican to be honest with you. >> we also heard last night from donald trump a little bit more than we have ever heard from a presidential candidate about these classified intelligence briefings. trump saying he could tell based on the body language of the briefers they did not agree with administration policy to a certain extent. then we had a response reported by hallie jackson a few moments ago. are you at all concerned as a member of the foreign relations committee that we're getting so much information, it would seem, out of these classified briefings? >>

particularly over these comments he made on vladimir putin. as for trump, those comments certainly are the thing that would be inconceivable from any other presidential candidate in living memory or before. but i think it is reminder that the american public and american media have become accustomed to that sort of comment from him. no longer really see it as something out of the ordinary. that will be hillary clinton's challenge is to hammer home it is out of the ordinary, and that should this qualify him -- that should disqualify him. brent: it was seen as a result -- rehearsal for the debates. would you say we got a good glimpse of what we can expect? richard: well, i think it is going to be different. having the two people on the stage at the same time will be a very different dynamic. there is a lot of uncertainty with how donald trump is going to behave, how aggressive he is going to be. will he say, "crooked hillary" to hillary clinton's face. that is going to be interesting to see. i think what we did see from last night was a reminder

putin today. >> vladimir putin is not a president, he's a dictator. he may carry the title of president but he's a dictator. i have tremendous agreements with president obama, huge differences, but vladimir putin is not a president, he's a dictator. that doesn't mean that i don't recognize him for what he is which is a thug and tyrant. >> john mccain has never had a kind word for vladimir putin tries every day, as he did today, to not talk about donald trump. >> given the performances, plural, this week of donald trump, are you still convinced that he's the best choice for national security. >> i've supported the nominee of the party. next question. i honestly, i am not here to talk about donald trump. >> republican speaker of the house paul ryan had to deliver the republican party line about vladimir putin. >> let me say this about putin. he's an aggressor that does not share interest. vladimir putin is violating the sovereignty of neighboring countries, it's certainly appears that he's conducting state sponsored cyber attacks and what appears to be

saying as, you know, he and his running mate as well have said that vladimir putin has been a stronger leader for russia than president obama has been for this country. how, in your judgment, does that play? >> with his pace it, probably plays just fine. with me, which i'm not his base, i'm just an analyst here on television. and i used to work for the federal government and the white house, i find vladimir putin in everything that he stands for to be repugnant. and if you look, for example, i mentioned north carolina, there is about -- there is a lot of military votes to pick up in north carolina. usually republicans poll around 56% approval with the military. right now donald trump in the quinnipiac poll shows he is at 46%. it's fine. but probably not good enough. when you are talking about serious national security issues and the race is this close and is he within striking distance, he can win it, i don't understand the affection for vladimir putin unless, brit, it's real. and in which case that would be troubling. >> well, you know, it tells you something about politics when someb

what does vladimir putin think of donald trump? >> well, what did vladimir putin say about trump? he said only once, and he said he used the word, the russian word which in russian if it's about the sunshine or about the day, it means a very bright day or a bright sun. when applied to a human being, it means colorful. that's basically it. and it's the only thing he said about trump. so he's not said a good word or a bad word. just given him that kind of characteristic. flamboyant. basically that's what he said. >> huh. >> so donald trump is misinterpreting, in other words, that vladimir putin has complimented him and calling him strong which is what donald trump is basing his compliments on. >>> you know, not only donald trump there's been a lot in the u.s. press about putin tactically supporting donald trump. there's no proof of that whatsoever. i mean, he's just really said only one word and that's it. and i think putin's very careful about not saying anything about either of the candidates. that will be very counterproductive. i think there's a lot of misunderstanding here. may

the whole question of put vladimir putin is legitimate coverage for the press and media. he said that he is a stronger leader. vladimir putin is strong because he has invade other countries, has crashes his own economy and while killing political opponents and journalists, killing them, and he is sing his praises. this is, again, a legitimate criticism on the part of press. >> what is not legitimate is how the media cannot keep their own store straight on russia. mitt romney called russia our major political threat they made fun of him and "new york times" --. >> obama said that they want their foreign policy back and the media supported it. there was an editorial saying the cold war is over but news story said everyone is concerned even republicans are concerned and now someone is coming from a totally different action el and the media are say that is the wrong posture and they are flipping back-and-forth every four years depending it seems on which republican is saying what. >> the usual is republicans are accusing democrats of being soft on russia so this is a feed day

like an adversary. >> are you concerned, though, about trump praising vladimir putin? >> i made my points about putin clear right there. i'll leave it at that. >> reporter: republican john mccain in a tough re-election in arizona where he needs to win over trump backers declining to wade in. what do you think about trump praising putin last night? >> i don't have any comments to make. i've been busy with the defense authorization bill and that's been the focus of all my attention and i did not observe what happened. >> reporter: but you obviously have been very critical of putin. >> what's that? >> reporter: you've obviously been very critical of putin. >> of course, i have. he's a murderer and thug. >> reporter: rob portman in a battle back home to save his seat criticizing putin and obama. >> i think we have to restore american leadership. >> reporter: the fallout comes as republicans debate trump's temperament. namely whether he can be trusted with the nuclear codes. some like senator majority leader mitch mcconnell and nevada congressman joe heck, who's running for

it is more typical of the new vladimir putin. he is much more willing to converse, especially with western folk. he is feeling confident about dealing with these things. carol: and it was a wide range of topics. john: there was no prohibitions. david: you asked about the presidential election and the hacking story, which continues to have legs here, the allegations that russia had the democratic national committee in. what did he have to say about all this? john: one thing about how ready he is to engage. on one hand, he says, we don't care who wins. we are not involved. this is all a rather strange show. and not entirely healthy is the way he pictures it. on the other hand, there is a desire for russia, repeatedly, to be treated as an equal. their politics should be watched as avidly as america's, so they have -- this is coming from a british person -- they still have the hangover of once being a superpower and now being a regional power, but not at that level. carol: was he reluctant to talk about anything? john: he avoids ques

. >> trump fawn over putin. >> when trump sits across the table from vladimir putin, putin will know he's dealing with a much different character than he's been dealing with for the last eight years. and anybody who's sat across the table from him knows it's no easy thing to negotiate with trump. whether it's barack obama, whether it's the iranian nuclear deal, what's gone on in syria, libya, he's capitulated around the world over and over again and that's not what donald trump will do. >> but why putin, when you guys get the republican binder, from day one as a republican, you go to pages one, and it says we are the party of ronald reagan, ronald reagan of evil empire, ronald reagan of mr. gorbachev tear down this wall. the larger question for you is what is your party, is it the matter of mccain and mcconnell, bush and bush and bush? right now where is it? >> right now it's the party of trump. he's gotten more votes than any republican for president in our history, and with 16 opponents, so it's the party of trump. and that view of russia has evolved over time. i remember the guy w

what -- vladimir putin. this is bloomberg. ♪ matt: now took more of bloomberg's exclusive interview with russian president vladimir putin. our editor in chief sat down with him in russia ahead of the coming g-20 summit. putin denies all charges of meddling. president putin: no, i don't know anything about that. you know how many hackers there are today. they are so delicate and precise. they can leave their mark at the necessary time and place, and camouflage their activity. it is an extremely difficult thing to check, if not, and possible to check. is that really important? does it matter who cracked the data from the campaign headquarters of mrs. clinton? the important thing is what was given to the public. there should be discussion about this. [indiscernible] i want to tell you again, i do not know anything about it. on the state level, russia has never done anything about this. i cannot even imagine that this information be interesting to the american society. even from this point of view, we could ha

let me say this about vladimir putin. vladimir putin is an aggressor that does not share interests. vladimir putin is violating the sovereignty of neighboring countries, it certainly appears that he is conducting in state-sponsored cyber attacks on what appears to be our political system. that is not acting in our interests. and that is an adversarial stance and he is acting like an adversary. >> are you concerned, though, of donald trump praising vladimir putin? >> i made my points about putin clear right there. i'll just leave it at that. i'm not going to sit up here and do the tit for tat on what donald said last night and the night before and hillary versus donald. that is not my job and i'm not going to be the election year pundit. >> are you still comfortable voting for him to be commander in chief? >> i'll leave it at at. >> i think it's inarguable that vladimir putin has been a stronger leader in his country than barack obama has been in this country. and that's going to change the day that donald trump becomes president of the united states of america. >> last night donald

engageuld like to vladimir putin in a game of chess. i think bill would like to have the same opportunity. we need to join hands with russia if a medically to deal with syria. that is the solution. did we want to go to war over the baltic sea? i don't believe so. ussr -- it broke up. ukraine, part of the ussr. if you want to call that a civil war. i would not call it a civil where, but a division of alliances. to be want to inject ourselves and that? going forward, i would like to strengthen relations with russia and not have a policy of division or antagonism. >> did you feel like russia was trying to medal end the american election? >> it trend that away. that is the second most important relationship after china. what vladimir putin what's to do --wants to do is not in our best interest. while the whole world acquiesced, that was an aggressive move. countryas been a great for a long time. nothing would give me greater pleasure than being able to find common ground there. i think syria is exhibit a. chef in the last couple of years --

go after vladimir putin. i think it's a sort of obvious thing she will do. it will be important to watch how donald trump, if donald trump defends vladimir putin because, as he says, putin thinks i'm brilliant, so i think he's smart, too. >> right. it's not just going against the political mainstream. you're going against national security, the director of the cia is saying, no, that's not how it is. >> right. it's not so easy to make deals with vladimir putin, as he was point nouing out in syria. >> he talked about his anger and frustration there. thank you, gloria. >>> next, will will be there real-time fact-checking and who is in actual charge of the clock to keep them in line? where there prior deals made between the clinton and trump campaigns? o more reporting coming up as we continue our special coverage. (sigh) my insurance rates are probably gonna double. but dad, you've got... allstate. with accident forgiveness they guarantee your rates won't go up just because of an accident. smart kid. indeed. it

vladimir putin sitting down to talk with bloomberg tv. david: the tone is set for apple with the iphone camera upgrades. business tracking. the markets close in two hours time. >> vladimir putin is not taking sides in the presidential election but he doesn't care for the tactics of either hillary clinton or donald trump. >> you know, after all, it is not only one but the other candidate. they are very smart people. listen to them. tune in for more of the exclusive interview. don't miss the special report. it is designed to harm the bed. a service to the public. , emergencyral damage declaration. later today.st and the world health organization issued a warning. continues to affect new countries. they convened the expert committee to assess the status of the epidemic. take a has infected 72 countries and territories. than more than 120 countries. this is bloomberg. markets head to the desk. >> we look at what you expect, relatively quiet trading for u.s. equity indexes. job friday. on a all up just modestly well the highs earlier. .7% afte

is a stronger leader than president obama. >> i think it's inarguable that vladimir putin has been a stronger leader in his country than barack obama has been in this country. >> they're not praising them so much as saying that we'll work with people, anybody who wants to help stop the advance of isis will be welcome in a trump/pence administration. >> he seems to be praising vladimir putin. >> he's seen as stronger in his country. he also said, if he pull the whole quote, he said he doesn't agree with that form of government. >> brit hume anchors "on the record" and joins us now, brit, thank you for joining us this afternoon. it does appear that the trump campaign, as you just heard kellyanne conway, is doubling down on the recent comments on vladimir putin and his strength in russia. >> it sounded to me more like she was trying to smooth it over. i think they end up in the same place. putin and russia ought to be a good issue for the republicans. you remember mitt romney four years ago said russia was our number one strategic adversary and barack obama laughed in his face, basicall

and then went on to compare vladimir putin, might i remind, compare vladimir putin to barack obama, and called him effectively a stronger, better leader. and that is why, to get back to your first question, guys, that is why hillary clinton came out on the tarmac today, swinging, because she wants to underscore this comparison and she wants the american people to make a judgment on that. it's a completely fair question for hillary clinton to be asking right now. after that forum last night. completely. >> all right, guys, stick around. a lot more to discuss. >> donald trump says he knows u.s. intelligence officers are not happy with president obama. how is that, you ask. he says he saw it in their body language during the class fewed intel briefing he's received. details on that ahead. >> plus, hillary clinton is now firing back after the rnc chair criticizes her facial expressions during last night's forum. her response, that's coming up. did you know that chevrolet is the most awarded car company two years in a row? oh wow. i'm surprised! chevy's coming out with some nice stuff. the d
