1
00:01:11,363 --> 00:01:13,364
I have concluded the ABM Treaty
2
00:01:13,374 --> 00:01:18,068
hinders our government's
ability to develop ways
3
00:01:18,078 --> 00:01:21,029
to protect our people
from future terrorists
4
00:01:21,039 --> 00:01:24,129
or rogue state missile attacks.
5
00:01:25,335 --> 00:01:28,370
Today I have given formal notice to Russia
6
00:01:28,380 --> 00:01:31,248
that the United States of America
7
00:01:31,258 --> 00:01:35,258
is withdrawing from this
almost 30-year-old treaty.
8
00:01:57,868 --> 00:02:00,078
On what basis?
9
00:03:14,027 --> 00:03:16,019
The system we are contemplating
10
00:03:16,029 --> 00:03:17,650
would not undermine Russia's deterrent
11
00:03:17,660 --> 00:03:23,151
or the principles of mutual
deterrence and strategic stability.
12
00:03:23,161 --> 00:03:25,612
The missile defense
capabilities we are developing
13
00:03:25,622 --> 00:03:28,990
are not designed to defend against Russia,
14
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:30,161
just as the new NATO we are building
15
00:03:30,171 --> 00:03:34,121
is not designed to defend against Russia.
16
00:03:34,131 --> 00:03:36,164
The Cold War is over.
17
00:03:36,174 --> 00:03:38,514
Russia is not our enemy.
18
00:03:40,011 --> 00:03:42,761
- Okay, so no rules.
- New rules.
19
00:03:44,349 --> 00:03:47,099
American rules.
20
00:05:30,956 --> 00:05:33,782
Oh, well, this is actually
what Reagan and Gorbachev
21
00:05:33,792 --> 00:05:37,244
came so close to achieving in 1986.
22
00:05:37,254 --> 00:05:39,335
At one point, they
wanted to go all the way...
23
00:05:39,345 --> 00:05:41,299
complete disarmament.
24
00:06:05,615 --> 00:06:06,615
Right, right.
25
00:07:08,678 --> 00:07:12,130
So stop referring to them
as partners, our partners.
26
00:07:12,140 --> 00:07:13,180
You've said that too much.
27
00:07:21,775 --> 00:07:23,975
You should wish me a...
28
00:07:23,985 --> 00:07:26,945
happy Fourth of July, being
that the, uh... an American.
29
00:07:32,369 --> 00:07:34,579
It's our independence day, so to speak.
30
00:07:40,585 --> 00:07:44,037
So, uh, in a, in a hot war,
31
00:07:44,047 --> 00:07:45,757
is the US dominant?
Yes or no?
32
00:07:48,635 --> 00:07:50,001
No.
33
00:07:50,011 --> 00:07:53,171
It would, it would be a case of, uh,
34
00:07:53,181 --> 00:07:54,561
Russia surviving it?
35
00:08:05,193 --> 00:08:06,393
Even with the missile shields?
36
00:08:36,850 --> 00:08:38,550
This was originally proposed,
you know, by John Kennedy,
37
00:08:38,560 --> 00:08:42,980
with Nikita Khrushchev in 1963.
38
00:09:20,226 --> 00:09:21,843
- I know.
- It was a crazy time.
39
00:09:21,853 --> 00:09:25,805
Uh... Stanley Kubrick,
a filmmaker I much admire,
40
00:09:25,815 --> 00:09:29,476
made a wonderful film
called Dr. Strangelove
41
00:09:29,486 --> 00:09:32,228
Or: How I Learned
to Love the Bomb.
42
00:09:32,238 --> 00:09:33,646
Has he seen it?
43
00:09:33,656 --> 00:09:35,398
- No.
- Ah, you must see it.
44
00:09:35,408 --> 00:09:37,650
Really, it's well worth it.
45
00:09:37,660 --> 00:09:40,195
It's a classic.
Because the...
46
00:09:40,205 --> 00:09:42,030
Mr. Kennedy was dealing
with the military system
47
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:45,867
that had been growing and
growing since World War II,
48
00:09:45,877 --> 00:09:48,078
and the generals, at that point, knew
49
00:09:48,088 --> 00:09:51,873
that the Soviet Union did not
have the capacity to match them.
50
00:09:51,883 --> 00:09:54,881
And many of them said, this is
the time to hit the Soviet Union.
51
00:09:54,891 --> 00:09:58,588
So there was a desire for a
unilateral strike against Russia.
52
00:09:58,598 --> 00:10:00,173
Kennedy said, you're crazy,
53
00:10:00,183 --> 00:10:04,344
and then as, as other situations
developed in Berlin and Cuba,
54
00:10:04,354 --> 00:10:06,904
it became more dangerous.
55
00:10:18,910 --> 00:10:20,491
Well, the United States
has become more right wing
56
00:10:20,501 --> 00:10:22,987
since the Ronald Reagan era,
57
00:10:22,997 --> 00:10:26,032
and now we have
Hillary Clinton on the left...
58
00:10:26,042 --> 00:10:30,954
supposed left, she's the Democratic
challenger, probably will be...
59
00:10:30,964 --> 00:10:33,795
making very aggressive statements
also against, uh, about Ukraine
60
00:10:33,805 --> 00:10:39,760
and comparing
Mr. Putin to, uh, Hitler.
61
00:11:14,257 --> 00:11:17,792
The United States has never really
had a war on its own homeland...
62
00:11:17,802 --> 00:11:20,343
- That's true.
- ...and to many people,
63
00:11:20,353 --> 00:11:24,299
who are very important people,
war is somewhat of a game.
64
00:11:24,309 --> 00:11:27,051
I fear that still in the United States.
65
00:11:27,061 --> 00:11:30,346
I fear the neo...
the neoconservative element
66
00:11:30,356 --> 00:11:33,892
as being so hungry...
67
00:11:33,902 --> 00:11:36,952
to make their point, to win
their case, that it's dangerous.
68
00:11:40,533 --> 00:11:44,152
Uh, hello, D... hello, Dimitri.
69
00:11:44,162 --> 00:11:45,453
Listen, uh, I can't hear too well.
70
00:11:45,463 --> 00:11:48,495
Do you suppose you could turn
the music down just a little?
71
00:11:49,626 --> 00:11:51,492
Oh, oh, that's much better.
72
00:11:51,502 --> 00:11:53,620
Yeah. Yeah.
73
00:11:53,630 --> 00:11:57,582
Now then, Dimitri, you know how
74
00:11:57,592 --> 00:12:01,377
we've always talked about the possibility
75
00:12:01,387 --> 00:12:03,637
of something going wrong with the bomb.
76
00:12:05,308 --> 00:12:06,598
The bomb, Dimitri.
77
00:12:08,311 --> 00:12:09,311
The hydrogen bomb.
78
00:12:10,939 --> 00:12:13,640
Well, now, what happened is, uh,
79
00:12:13,650 --> 00:12:15,350
one of our base commanders,
80
00:12:15,360 --> 00:12:17,769
he had a sort of...
81
00:12:17,779 --> 00:12:19,854
well, he went a little funny in the head,
82
00:12:19,864 --> 00:12:24,025
you know,
just a little... funny.
83
00:12:24,035 --> 00:12:28,947
And, uh, he went and did a silly thing.
84
00:12:28,957 --> 00:12:32,087
Well, I'll tell you what he did.
He ordered his planes...
85
00:12:33,461 --> 00:12:37,330
to attack your country.
86
00:12:37,340 --> 00:12:41,751
Yes, but, uh, the whole point
of the doomsday machine
87
00:12:41,761 --> 00:12:44,254
is lost...
88
00:12:44,264 --> 00:12:45,551
if you keep it a secret.
89
00:12:45,561 --> 00:12:47,548
Why didn't you tell the world, eh?
90
00:12:47,558 --> 00:12:49,550
It was to be announced
91
00:12:49,560 --> 00:12:52,303
at the Party Congress on Monday.
92
00:12:52,313 --> 00:12:53,953
As you know, the premier loves surprises.
93
00:12:56,609 --> 00:13:01,319
Woo-hoo! Woo-hoo!
94
00:13:01,781 --> 00:13:06,734
Woo-woo-ha!
95
00:13:06,744 --> 00:13:09,153
Woo, woo-hoo!
96
00:13:09,163 --> 00:13:11,543
Woo-hoo!
97
00:13:25,972 --> 00:13:28,973
A lot of this footage
was unknown at that time.
98
00:13:28,983 --> 00:13:31,884
It was, you know, revealed in this movie.
99
00:13:31,894 --> 00:13:33,774
Thank you for indulging me.
100
00:13:36,899 --> 00:13:39,480
I thought the, uh, the Russian
premier was very good.
101
00:13:39,490 --> 00:13:41,275
He was... Dimitri.
102
00:14:04,385 --> 00:14:08,087
The concept of nuclear winter,
you know, the end of the world,
103
00:14:08,097 --> 00:14:11,424
that was the, uh,
you know, the hydrogen bomb.
104
00:14:11,434 --> 00:14:15,475
The scientists, they talked
about it in... right after the war,
105
00:14:15,485 --> 00:14:18,070
and, uh, Truman went ahead anyway.
106
00:14:48,554 --> 00:14:49,684
I believe that.
107
00:14:50,765 --> 00:14:53,175
- At some point.
- Thank you very much. Bye.
108
00:14:55,645 --> 00:14:57,055
Okay.
109
00:15:03,236 --> 00:15:04,393
Thank you so much.
110
00:15:04,403 --> 00:15:05,895
There you go.
111
00:15:05,905 --> 00:15:07,445
Bye-bye.
112
00:15:36,519 --> 00:15:38,803
You look colorful.
113
00:15:38,813 --> 00:15:42,064
You look like... Mighty
Mouse. No, that's cool.
114
00:15:42,074 --> 00:15:43,276
Very nice.
115
00:15:48,239 --> 00:15:50,650
Yeah, we'll be, uh,
on the ice, looking at you.
116
00:15:50,660 --> 00:15:51,948
Any advice?
117
00:15:56,205 --> 00:15:58,030
But he's told all the other hockey players
118
00:15:58,040 --> 00:15:59,600
that he's gonna score two goals or one?
119
00:16:07,008 --> 00:16:09,258
Do they check him as hard as they want?
120
00:16:43,211 --> 00:16:45,671
You started playing hockey at 40?
121
00:16:48,007 --> 00:16:52,835
Three years ago.
Really? At age 50?
122
00:16:52,845 --> 00:16:54,962
That's pretty cool.
123
00:16:54,972 --> 00:16:56,464
Oh, at age 60.
I'm sorry.
124
00:16:56,474 --> 00:16:58,684
I keep thinking you're 53,
instead you're 63.
125
00:17:02,855 --> 00:17:04,565
You know, I couldn't skate before that.
126
00:17:05,316 --> 00:17:07,106
I know. I heard that.
127
00:17:11,822 --> 00:17:14,232
You fell down one time.
128
00:17:14,242 --> 00:17:16,567
You were tired.
129
00:17:16,577 --> 00:17:18,117
Twice.
130
00:17:18,663 --> 00:17:21,239
Tired in the legs, no?
131
00:17:21,249 --> 00:17:24,992
At your age? Come on.
132
00:17:25,002 --> 00:17:27,672
If he gets checked, I mean, he
could easily break a bone, right?
133
00:17:36,681 --> 00:17:39,760
What if, uh, one of the men
on either team admitted...
134
00:17:39,770 --> 00:17:41,551
in Russia... that he was gay?
135
00:17:41,561 --> 00:17:43,021
Could he keep it quiet?
136
00:18:13,718 --> 00:18:15,078
Well, you have the propaganda law.
137
00:18:21,767 --> 00:18:22,847
Yeah.
138
00:18:58,888 --> 00:19:00,254
There's a tradition, though...
139
00:19:00,264 --> 00:19:01,924
whatever he says, there's a tradition...
140
00:19:01,934 --> 00:19:04,013
there is a macho tradition in Russia,
141
00:19:04,023 --> 00:19:06,348
a pretty strong one.
142
00:19:14,945 --> 00:19:16,355
No, that's different.
143
00:19:22,787 --> 00:19:24,577
Is that true in the military as well?
144
00:19:27,124 --> 00:19:28,495
- No restriction in the military?
- No prohibition.
145
00:19:28,505 --> 00:19:31,621
I mean, if you're taking
a shower in a submarine
146
00:19:31,631 --> 00:19:33,788
with a man and you know he's gay,
147
00:19:33,798 --> 00:19:35,318
then do they have a problem with that?
148
00:20:20,010 --> 00:20:22,630
Could I just point out, even in a society
149
00:20:22,640 --> 00:20:25,881
where there's some malfunction,
there will be many orphans,
150
00:20:25,891 --> 00:20:26,972
and some of those orphans could be adopted
151
00:20:26,982 --> 00:20:29,436
by same-sex couples?
152
00:21:02,428 --> 00:21:05,171
Gay people across Russia say
there's been a surge of intolerance,
153
00:21:05,181 --> 00:21:08,048
discrimination and violence,
154
00:21:08,058 --> 00:21:10,509
and it started around the time
Russia's parliament passed
155
00:21:10,519 --> 00:21:13,399
what's become known
as the "gay propaganda law."
156
00:21:17,318 --> 00:21:19,810
Moscow is not Sodom.
157
00:21:19,820 --> 00:21:23,370
We are here to support normal
people that want to create families.
158
00:21:25,910 --> 00:21:28,819
I hear you work out almost every day
159
00:21:28,829 --> 00:21:30,946
or five times a week?
160
00:21:30,956 --> 00:21:32,865
- Seven days? No.
- Yes.
161
00:21:32,875 --> 00:21:33,875
That's too much.
162
00:21:35,294 --> 00:21:36,464
Swim first, then gym?
163
00:21:38,422 --> 00:21:40,460
Right.
Then relax the muscles.
164
00:21:40,470 --> 00:21:42,082
Do you think when you swim?
165
00:21:42,092 --> 00:21:45,336
Do you get ideas...
166
00:21:45,346 --> 00:21:47,466
from the unconscious? Do
you find it to be meditative?
167
00:21:50,851 --> 00:21:52,941
This is for badminton or what?
168
00:21:58,818 --> 00:22:00,568
Judo master, yeah.
169
00:22:03,572 --> 00:22:05,442
- Very much. Yeah.
- Yes? Is good?
170
00:22:05,452 --> 00:22:07,900
So all your, uh, all your
energy, your aggressive energy
171
00:22:07,910 --> 00:22:09,830
comes out in judo
in the morning, or exercise?
172
00:22:14,500 --> 00:22:15,920
Does he have a trainer?
173
00:22:18,295 --> 00:22:19,835
- Well, I used to have one.
- Yeah.
174
00:22:21,924 --> 00:22:22,924
And I think I'm a master.
175
00:22:38,065 --> 00:22:39,435
Probably helps
you a lot. Yeah.
176
00:22:44,446 --> 00:22:46,522
I have to raise some concerns
177
00:22:46,532 --> 00:22:49,483
that are raised
by Foreign Affairs magazine,
178
00:22:49,493 --> 00:22:52,614
which I consider like the
official government viewpoint.
179
00:22:52,624 --> 00:22:55,823
This is the Council for Foreign Relations,
180
00:22:55,833 --> 00:22:57,584
they publish this,
and they have all these experts
181
00:22:57,594 --> 00:23:00,494
who come in and they write
on their fields in Russia.
182
00:23:00,504 --> 00:23:03,424
Some of these questions are raised by them.
183
00:23:06,343 --> 00:23:07,433
Yeah...
184
00:23:10,723 --> 00:23:13,340
Putin's Russia, down...
185
00:23:13,350 --> 00:23:14,990
That's, that's their point of view, yeah.
186
00:23:25,696 --> 00:23:27,021
I understand.
187
00:23:27,031 --> 00:23:29,319
This is their... This is
an official point of view,
188
00:23:29,329 --> 00:23:31,942
and therefore, it has... it is
listened to in Washington,
189
00:23:31,952 --> 00:23:33,542
and this is what he has to deal with.
190
00:23:52,306 --> 00:23:54,926
I'm not gonna argue with that.
191
00:23:58,103 --> 00:23:59,523
Why did you... after 2001...
192
00:24:01,565 --> 00:24:02,890
why did you acquiesce
193
00:24:02,900 --> 00:24:07,450
in the US military encroachment
across Central Asia?
194
00:24:34,431 --> 00:24:36,048
He said that they were...
195
00:24:36,058 --> 00:24:37,978
He said that they were not
gonna stay forever?
196
00:24:47,653 --> 00:24:49,314
When was the wool pulled from his eyes?
197
00:24:49,324 --> 00:24:52,648
No, I mean, by 2007 in Munich,
198
00:24:52,658 --> 00:24:56,151
he's casting another eye
on this relationship, correct?
199
00:24:56,161 --> 00:24:58,570
What happens between 2002-03,
200
00:24:58,580 --> 00:25:00,614
he has the Iraqi invasion,
201
00:25:00,624 --> 00:25:04,743
then he has the Ukrainian
orange revolution in 2004.
202
00:25:04,753 --> 00:25:08,998
What is he thinking when the
Ukrainian revolution goes down?
203
00:25:09,008 --> 00:25:12,128
Hundreds of thousands of
pro-democracy Ukrainians in the streets
204
00:25:12,138 --> 00:25:16,257
today protested against the
results of the presidential election,
205
00:25:16,267 --> 00:25:19,925
pitting their candidate, the West-leaning
challenger Victor Yushchenko,
206
00:25:19,935 --> 00:25:24,138
against the pro-Moscow prime
minister Victor Yanukovych.
207
00:25:24,148 --> 00:25:26,724
They claim Yanukovych's victory was rigged,
208
00:25:26,734 --> 00:25:28,894
with reports of ballot stuffing
and voter intimidation.
209
00:25:55,804 --> 00:25:58,133
In Ukraine today,
anti-government demonstrators
210
00:25:58,143 --> 00:26:00,382
finally had something to celebrate.
211
00:26:00,392 --> 00:26:03,343
The parliament voted to disband
the government of the candidate
212
00:26:03,353 --> 00:26:07,224
who has been declared the winner
of the disputed presidential election.
213
00:26:07,234 --> 00:26:10,062
Opposition leader Victor
Yuschenko joined his supporters
214
00:26:10,072 --> 00:26:11,979
in a victory celebration
early this morning.
215
00:26:11,989 --> 00:26:15,564
With most votes counted,
the Western-leaning economist
216
00:26:15,574 --> 00:26:18,609
leads by an insurmountable
nine percentage points.
217
00:26:18,619 --> 00:26:20,490
He thanked the hundreds of
thousands who had taken to the streets
218
00:26:20,500 --> 00:26:23,197
to demand democratic change.
219
00:26:23,207 --> 00:26:26,909
Earlier, his opponent, the Soviet-style
prime minister Victor Yanukovych,
220
00:26:26,919 --> 00:26:29,299
looked defeated but conceded nothing.
221
00:28:42,471 --> 00:28:46,381
He let that situation go, but
then somewhere between 2004
222
00:28:46,391 --> 00:28:50,510
and 2007 in Munich,
the ball moves the other way.
223
00:28:50,520 --> 00:28:53,513
Iraq's a disaster,
Afghanistan's been a disaster.
224
00:28:53,523 --> 00:28:56,363
Somewhere in there,
he changes his point of view.
225
00:29:38,443 --> 00:29:40,394
I can't wait to visit with, uh,
226
00:29:40,404 --> 00:29:42,574
my friend Vladimir Putin in Shanghai...
227
00:29:44,241 --> 00:29:47,484
to reiterate, once again,
228
00:29:47,494 --> 00:29:49,504
that the Cold War is over,
229
00:29:51,039 --> 00:29:51,990
it's done with,
230
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:54,919
and that there are
new threats that we face.
231
00:30:11,268 --> 00:30:13,268
Yeah, I know.
232
00:30:15,605 --> 00:30:16,685
Yeah.
233
00:30:37,210 --> 00:30:38,210
I know it.
234
00:30:39,504 --> 00:30:41,125
We know that Bush supported
235
00:30:41,135 --> 00:30:44,301
the Georgian offensive in 2008.
236
00:31:03,945 --> 00:31:06,104
Georgia is under attack
from its neighbor Russia,
237
00:31:06,114 --> 00:31:09,816
and the whole day today,
they've been bombing Georgia
238
00:31:09,826 --> 00:31:13,612
from, uh, numerous war planes,
239
00:31:13,622 --> 00:31:16,953
uh, and, uh, specifically
targeting civilian population.
240
00:31:16,963 --> 00:31:19,910
The United States of America stands
241
00:31:19,920 --> 00:31:22,331
with the democratically
elected government of Georgia.
242
00:31:22,341 --> 00:31:26,249
Columns of Russian tanks and
troops rolled into the American-backed
243
00:31:26,259 --> 00:31:29,377
former Soviet Republic of Georgia today.
244
00:31:29,387 --> 00:31:32,923
Georgia attacked its then
breakaway Republic of South Ossetia,
245
00:31:32,933 --> 00:31:35,931
with the aim of bringing it back
under Tbilisi's control.
246
00:31:35,941 --> 00:31:39,179
But Georgia is reported to have
resumed aerial and artillery bombardment
247
00:31:39,189 --> 00:31:42,349
of Tskhinvali, the main town
in South Ossetia.
248
00:31:42,359 --> 00:31:43,683
Hundreds of civilians
249
00:31:43,693 --> 00:31:44,524
and more than 70 peacekeepers
250
00:31:44,534 --> 00:31:46,988
were killed in the following days.
251
00:32:09,010 --> 00:32:10,836
Did you take a gamble?
252
00:32:10,846 --> 00:32:16,133
Your government launched its own
attempt to retake South Ossetia, um,
253
00:32:16,143 --> 00:32:18,224
- just 24 hours ago.
- No, we didn't.
254
00:32:18,234 --> 00:32:21,847
- Was that unwise in retrospect?
- We didn't.
255
00:32:21,857 --> 00:32:25,559
We didn't.
At twenty-four a. m. last night,
256
00:32:25,569 --> 00:32:29,312
Russian APCs started to cross
into Georgian territory.
257
00:32:29,322 --> 00:32:30,860
And there we had to act.
258
00:32:30,870 --> 00:32:33,066
There we had to fire back the artillery.
259
00:32:33,076 --> 00:32:37,404
There we had to take measures, because
it was a clear-cut case of intervention.
260
00:32:37,414 --> 00:32:41,950
Do you think that, uh, the US,
uh, or NATO in any way
261
00:32:41,960 --> 00:32:46,590
were supporting Saakashvili to do
this? Or told him to... it was okay to try?
262
00:33:06,026 --> 00:33:08,476
As you know, Putin's a straightforward,
263
00:33:08,486 --> 00:33:10,353
pretty tough character...
264
00:33:10,363 --> 00:33:13,940
when it comes to his interests.
Well, so am I.
265
00:33:13,950 --> 00:33:17,580
And, uh, you know, we've had
some, some headbutts...
266
00:33:18,163 --> 00:33:20,280
diplomatic headbutts.
267
00:33:20,290 --> 00:33:25,452
Most Americans think that
Russia is certainly as bad as the US
268
00:33:25,462 --> 00:33:27,954
when it comes to, uh, surveillance.
269
00:33:27,964 --> 00:33:31,304
As bad. That's just an
assumption, because of the old KGB.
270
00:33:43,104 --> 00:33:46,640
You're serious about that? I mean,
you don't think you're as good technically?
271
00:33:46,650 --> 00:33:48,970
I'm not talking about money.
I'm talking about technically.
272
00:33:55,659 --> 00:33:57,239
Yeah, that's different, though.
273
00:34:12,217 --> 00:34:16,347
Is Russia collecting any bulk
communication in any form?
274
00:34:20,100 --> 00:34:23,176
Everything is sort of targeted?
275
00:34:23,186 --> 00:34:26,429
We're just talking about collection,
not reading it, just collecting it.
276
00:34:26,439 --> 00:34:29,319
Just using all the telephone system
or using all the Internet system.
277
00:34:37,951 --> 00:34:40,530
Fifteen percent of
the population is Islamic,
278
00:34:40,540 --> 00:34:41,948
in Russia, that's what I'm told,
279
00:34:41,958 --> 00:34:44,285
and many of them are in Moscow.
280
00:34:47,127 --> 00:34:49,035
So, then you're telling me
281
00:34:49,045 --> 00:34:51,335
that there's no bulk collection on Muslims?
282
00:35:17,073 --> 00:35:18,824
Yes. Have
a good night, sir.
283
00:35:18,834 --> 00:35:20,734
Good night to you.
284
00:35:20,744 --> 00:35:22,861
- Spasibo.
- Thank you.
285
00:35:22,871 --> 00:35:24,821
- Oliver's wife.
- Nice to meet you, ma'am.
286
00:35:24,831 --> 00:35:26,531
Very nice to meet you,
Mr. President.
287
00:35:26,541 --> 00:35:29,117
- Your first time in Russia?
- Yeah, first time in Russia, yes.
288
00:35:29,127 --> 00:35:30,160
- Not in Saint Petersburg?
- No, no, just in Moscow.
289
00:35:30,170 --> 00:35:32,912
You must go now to Saint Petersburg.
290
00:35:32,922 --> 00:35:34,042
- Okay. Thank you.
- Bye-bye.
291
00:35:52,359 --> 00:35:55,185
Um, I want to talk about Snowden a bit?
292
00:35:55,195 --> 00:35:58,897
You said that you're in good with Bush.
293
00:35:58,907 --> 00:36:01,237
And, presumably, you were good with Obama.
294
00:36:02,619 --> 00:36:04,819
You were dealing with him on Syria,
295
00:36:04,829 --> 00:36:07,280
you were dealing with him on Iran.
296
00:36:07,290 --> 00:36:08,990
And then, uh, out of the blue,
297
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:11,460
you give asylum to Edward Snowden.
298
00:36:39,572 --> 00:36:43,274
So it's June 2013,
you get a call, I suppose.
299
00:36:43,284 --> 00:36:46,236
You hear that Snowden is on the way.
300
00:36:46,246 --> 00:36:49,823
I'm sure you get calls
from the US, including Obama.
301
00:36:49,833 --> 00:36:53,093
How do you handle... How does the
situation devolve, and how do you handle it?
302
00:37:43,887 --> 00:37:45,427
He just disappeared?
303
00:38:04,407 --> 00:38:05,407
To Cuba, yeah.
304
00:38:07,410 --> 00:38:09,040
And then Ecuador. Yeah.
305
00:38:27,013 --> 00:38:29,353
While he was in the plane?
306
00:38:57,877 --> 00:38:58,997
Why not?
307
00:39:36,583 --> 00:39:38,793
Did Obama get on a phone with you?
308
00:39:46,009 --> 00:39:50,962
Uh, let me ask you, I'm sure you
must have... As an ex-KGB, uh, agent...
309
00:39:50,972 --> 00:39:55,852
you must have hated what Snowden
did with every fiber of your being.
310
00:40:12,112 --> 00:40:13,112
Right.
311
00:40:19,375 --> 00:40:21,085
Did you agree with what he did?
312
00:40:26,549 --> 00:40:30,335
Did you think the, uh, National
Security Agency had gone too far
313
00:40:30,345 --> 00:40:31,345
in its eavesdropping?
314
00:40:59,415 --> 00:41:01,165
But he should not have whistled?
315
00:41:02,752 --> 00:41:06,829
So, he's saying that he
should not have whistle-blown,
316
00:41:06,839 --> 00:41:11,042
and he should've resigned,
in principle, on the principle,
317
00:41:11,052 --> 00:41:14,432
like Mr. Putin did
when he resigned from the KGB?
318
00:41:30,113 --> 00:41:33,773
Okay. So, uh, you do agree
that the NSA went too far?
319
00:41:33,783 --> 00:41:39,083
And how do you feel about Russian
intelligence activities in their surveillance?
320
00:42:08,526 --> 00:42:10,143
In a scene in the movie, we show
321
00:42:10,153 --> 00:42:13,104
where Snowden discusses the heat map.
322
00:42:13,114 --> 00:42:17,025
Okay, so this is data collection
for the month of March,
323
00:42:17,035 --> 00:42:19,986
worldwide, e-mails and Skype calls.
324
00:42:19,996 --> 00:42:21,446
So France, 70 million.
325
00:42:21,456 --> 00:42:23,823
Germany, 500 million.
326
00:42:23,833 --> 00:42:26,200
Brazil, two billion.
327
00:42:26,210 --> 00:42:28,494
Inside the US,
328
00:42:28,504 --> 00:42:31,706
3.1 billion e-mails and calls.
329
00:42:31,716 --> 00:42:34,377
That's not including
any of the telecom company data.
330
00:42:34,387 --> 00:42:36,502
Okay, so what's the collection of Russia?
331
00:42:36,512 --> 00:42:38,963
Russia is...
332
00:42:38,973 --> 00:42:40,339
1.5 billion.
333
00:42:40,349 --> 00:42:43,009
Wait. So we're collecting
twice as much in the US
334
00:42:43,019 --> 00:42:44,844
- as we are in Russia?
- Yeah, I figured it was a lot...
335
00:42:44,854 --> 00:42:47,154
- Russia is number two,
- US is number one.
336
00:43:02,747 --> 00:43:06,282
Well, you must be spying on the
US, because if the US is spying on you,
337
00:43:06,292 --> 00:43:09,302
I mean, the Americans are gonna
say, I'm sure you're spying on us.
338
00:43:15,968 --> 00:43:20,046
The Snowden affair in terms
of the US-Russia relationship
339
00:43:20,056 --> 00:43:22,256
seemed to turn, was a big deal
340
00:43:22,266 --> 00:43:25,384
for the neoconservative movement in the US.
341
00:43:25,394 --> 00:43:28,105
And the neocons seemed to
focus in on Russia once again.
342
00:43:28,115 --> 00:43:32,225
It wasn't too long afterward
that the Ukraine issue came up.
343
00:43:32,235 --> 00:43:35,603
I think I would consider
Snowden a pawn in a game.
344
00:43:35,613 --> 00:43:40,083
Unless they wanted him
here, in Moscow, to embarrass.
345
00:43:46,124 --> 00:43:48,254
Really?
346
00:44:09,105 --> 00:44:11,347
Very strong.
347
00:44:11,357 --> 00:44:12,682
Well, one thing is clear.
348
00:44:12,692 --> 00:44:15,434
I think the only place in
the world where he's... safe
349
00:44:15,444 --> 00:44:18,244
is here, in Russia.
350
00:44:22,577 --> 00:44:24,152
And there's a great irony in this.
351
00:44:24,162 --> 00:44:25,403
In the old days,
352
00:44:25,413 --> 00:44:29,031
the Russian defectors would go
to the United States.
353
00:44:29,041 --> 00:44:31,001
This is a reversal.
354
00:44:35,173 --> 00:44:37,433
- No, I'm not saying that.
- I'm saying it's ironic.
355
00:45:30,353 --> 00:45:31,934
So, uh, this is your dacha.
356
00:45:31,944 --> 00:45:35,014
Your ranch.
357
00:45:35,024 --> 00:45:39,034
Official state residence.
And you come here on weekends?
358
00:45:45,117 --> 00:45:48,037
So it's about 25 minutes,
20 minutes from Moscow.
359
00:45:52,541 --> 00:45:58,329
His adoption of orthodox religion
back into the Russian system,
360
00:45:58,339 --> 00:45:59,839
he's been a proponent of that.
361
00:46:02,969 --> 00:46:06,809
I understand, but there's been
a renaissance of...
362
00:46:23,322 --> 00:46:23,983
Right.
363
00:46:23,993 --> 00:46:26,274
When he comes here, does...
364
00:46:26,284 --> 00:46:29,235
where does he, uh, sit if he sits?
365
00:46:29,245 --> 00:46:31,785
Are there any chairs?
Does he sit down?
366
00:46:35,835 --> 00:46:37,243
So how do you...?
367
00:46:37,253 --> 00:46:39,245
The mass is while you stand.
368
00:46:39,255 --> 00:46:40,625
Aha.
369
00:46:42,300 --> 00:46:43,590
I see.
370
00:46:47,430 --> 00:46:51,350
People don't pray in... uh,
kneeling. They pray standing.
371
00:46:58,274 --> 00:47:01,074
This weekend, you have guests
coming over for the weekend?
372
00:47:08,117 --> 00:47:11,027
The two daughters are married,
and they bring their husbands,
373
00:47:11,037 --> 00:47:13,287
so you meet your
son-in-laws on the weekend?
374
00:47:16,792 --> 00:47:20,286
So are you a grandfather yet?
375
00:47:20,296 --> 00:47:23,080
Do you like your grandchildren?
376
00:47:23,090 --> 00:47:26,510
So, are you a good grandfather?
Do you play with them in the garden?
377
00:47:29,972 --> 00:47:33,341
Very seldom.
Do you...
378
00:47:33,351 --> 00:47:35,261
Do the son-in-laws argue with you?
379
00:47:35,271 --> 00:47:39,229
They have different opinions?
They give you sort of gossip?
380
00:47:44,320 --> 00:47:45,320
Daughters too?
381
00:47:51,994 --> 00:47:53,084
Yeah. Yeah.
382
00:47:57,583 --> 00:47:58,824
Yeah, that's amazing.
383
00:47:58,834 --> 00:48:00,534
You're a very lucky man.
384
00:48:00,544 --> 00:48:02,004
Two good children.
385
00:48:06,467 --> 00:48:08,334
Yeah.
386
00:48:08,344 --> 00:48:11,224
Good. So...
387
00:48:19,480 --> 00:48:23,190
That's a beauty.
What is this, a race horse?
388
00:48:30,449 --> 00:48:31,949
Looks like a thoroughbred.
389
00:48:32,284 --> 00:48:34,454
Yeah?
390
00:48:38,040 --> 00:48:39,710
He rides them all?
391
00:48:48,300 --> 00:48:50,430
Well, if they throw you,
these are big horses.
392
00:48:56,934 --> 00:49:00,052
Yeah.
That's dangerous.
393
00:49:00,062 --> 00:49:02,563
I must've fallen off five, six times.
394
00:49:02,573 --> 00:49:05,105
And here's a tiny one.
395
00:49:15,911 --> 00:49:18,121
You have the largest
Muslim population in Europe.
396
00:49:22,751 --> 00:49:25,161
You've mentioned in the past
the, uh, white, uh,
397
00:49:25,171 --> 00:49:27,881
the Russian ethnic population
is diminishing.
398
00:49:31,469 --> 00:49:33,549
Right.
399
00:51:09,024 --> 00:51:12,735
You've said several times
in the last two days, you know,
400
00:51:12,745 --> 00:51:15,020
that Russia is a democracy.
401
00:51:15,030 --> 00:51:17,022
Your critics in America,
and there are many,
402
00:51:17,032 --> 00:51:19,193
would say that Russia is not a democracy,
403
00:51:19,203 --> 00:51:23,961
Russia is a traditional
authoritarian state...
404
00:51:24,707 --> 00:51:27,116
and that, uh, there is, uh...
405
00:51:27,126 --> 00:51:29,702
the parliament does not decide,
406
00:51:29,712 --> 00:51:31,123
does not make major decisions.
407
00:51:31,133 --> 00:51:36,584
There's limited access to, uh,
television for the opposition parties,
408
00:51:36,594 --> 00:51:40,296
that... your party
dominates the media.
409
00:51:40,306 --> 00:51:42,047
The registration process is difficult
410
00:51:42,057 --> 00:51:45,217
for these opposition parties,
411
00:51:45,227 --> 00:51:48,387
that there's a lack
of judicial independence,
412
00:51:48,397 --> 00:51:51,640
although that's an old problem
in Russia, I gather.
413
00:51:51,650 --> 00:51:54,393
These are the criticisms
that are often launched at you.
414
00:51:54,403 --> 00:51:58,283
I'd love you to take a chance
here and respond to that.
415
00:54:54,249 --> 00:54:57,089
What do you think of these
candidates in the US election?
416
00:55:05,302 --> 00:55:06,752
No, we want to hear what you think.
417
00:55:06,762 --> 00:55:09,102
This is a personal thing, uh, characters.
418
00:55:30,494 --> 00:55:32,454
- How about Bernie Sanders?
- Would you like that?
419
00:56:05,821 --> 00:56:08,355
Yeah. I get it.
420
00:56:08,365 --> 00:56:10,190
But you didn't answer
my question about Sanders.
421
00:56:10,200 --> 00:56:11,280
Do you like him?
422
00:56:13,912 --> 00:56:15,872
Aah!
423
00:56:21,878 --> 00:56:22,878
Yeah.
424
00:56:54,620 --> 00:56:58,030
But you do realize how powerful
your answer could be
425
00:56:58,040 --> 00:57:01,710
if you said suddenly
that you prefer X candidate...
426
00:57:03,045 --> 00:57:04,745
he would go like that tomorrow.
427
00:57:04,755 --> 00:57:08,081
And if you say you didn't like
Trump or something, right?
428
00:57:08,091 --> 00:57:09,374
What would happen?
He'd win, right?
429
00:57:09,384 --> 00:57:12,224
You have that amount of power in the US.
430
00:57:28,570 --> 00:57:31,897
Thank you, sir.
We'll see you tomorrow.
431
00:57:31,907 --> 00:57:33,107
Talk about some heavier stuff.
432
00:57:35,035 --> 00:57:36,535
Thank you, sir.
433
00:57:41,208 --> 00:57:42,788
- Yes. Thanks very much.
- Bye-bye.
