00:00BIGGEST TAKE AWAY? HE MADE A LOT OF ASSERTIONS AND GAVE HIMSELF CREDIT FOR HELPING RUSSIA AVOID A DEEP CRISIS. WHAT WAS THE BIGGEST TAKE AWAY? CHARLIE: I THINK HE CLEARLY WANTS TO TALK TO THE UNITED STATES. HE SAYS THEY ARE SURVIVING THE SANCTIONS, THAT THEY TALKED ABOUT UKRAINE A BIT. THEY TALKED ABOUT UKRAINE BEING -- UKRAINIAN SEPARATISTS WHO SPEAK RUSSIAN HAVE A COMMONALITY WITH RUSSIANS, THEY ARE ALL RUSSIANS HE SAID. HE TALKED ABOUT CHINA AND WHAT AN OPPORTUNITY THERE WAS FOR CHINA, BECAUSE CHINA HAD CASH AND RUSSIA HAS NATURAL RESOURCES. THERE IS A REAL OPPORTUNITY FOR AN ECONOMIC CONNECTION BETWEEN THE TWO. HE TALKED A LOT ABOUT ECONOMICS IN A SMALL SPEECH HE GAVE. AND WITH OTHERS, THE GREEK PRIME MINISTERS SPOKE AND ADVICE FROM AIR FROM CHINA SPOKE. AND VLADIMIR PUTIN SPOKE. HE AND I DID A 40 MINUTE INTERVIEW, A ONE-ON-ONE. MORE POLITICS AND NATIONAL SECURITY ISSUES THAN ECONOMIC ISSUES, ALTHOUGH SOME ECONOMIC ISSUES. THE WHOLE THING WENT 2.5 HOURS, WE STARTED AFTER 2:00 AND WENT TO A LITTLE AFTER 4:30. I WAS ON STAGE FOR THE ENTIRE TIME AS WAS VLADIMIR PUTIN. THEY GAVE ME AN OPPORTUNITY TO SEE HIM UP CLOSE, SEE HOW HE RESPONDS. I DIDN'T LOOK INTO HIS EYES, AS GEORGE BUSH ONE SAID. I WAS ABLE TO WATCH HIS BODY MOVEMENTS IN TERMS OF WHAT SEEMED TO INTRIGUE HIM. FOR EXAMPLE, I POINTED OUT THAT HE WAS BEING VERY AGGRESSIVE, RUSSIA WAS. I SAID I KNOW YOU DON'T LIKE TO HEAR THAT. IN HIS ANSWER, HE KNOWLEDGED THAT I DON'T LIKE THAT. HE SAID WE ARE DOING WHAT WE HAVE TO DO. I POINTED OUT A NUMBER OF THINGS THEY WERE DOING, INCLUDING THINGS THAT THE UNITED STATES OBJECTS TO GREATLY ON THE BORDER IN THE EASTERN PART OF UKRAINE. SCARLET: I LIKE HOW YOU LOOK TO HIS BODY LIKE MUCH. YOU MIGHT NOT HAVE STARED INTO HIS EYES, BUT I WONDER ON WHICH PARTS, WHICH TOPICS, WHICH POINTS WERE VLADIMIR PUTIN MOST UNSCRIPTED ON? WHERE DID YOU SEE THE EMOTION? CHARLIE: THEY GOT MORE EMOTIONAL AT THE END. THE MOST EMOTIONAL THING WAS , BECAUSE THEY FELL -- THEY HAD FOULUPS. SHE WAS SITTING IN THE FRONT ROW TO GIVE SIGNALS ABOUT ME KEEPING UP WITH WHERE WE WERE IN THE PROGRAM. AT THE END, VLADIMIR PUTIN SAID THERE ARE A LOT OF PEOPLE WHO ARE WORKING HARD, INCLUDING A COLLEAGUE WHO IS GIVING YOU THE TIME SIGNALS. HE ASKED HER TO STAND UP, AND SHE DID. SHE WAS SITTING NEXT TO HIS -- ONE OF HIS PRINCIPAL ADVISERS. HE TAKES CARE OF THE DOOR LEADING TO VLADIMIR PUTIN. HE WAS VERY ANIMATED ABOUT ISIS, AND HOW IMPORTANT IT WAS TO CHANGE THE TRAJECTORY OF ISIS. WE TALKED ABOUT THAT. HE DOESN'T MISS AN OPPORTUNITY EVER TO POINT OUT IF HE THINKS THE UNITED STATES IS RESPONSIBLE. HE POINTED OUT THAT THE RISE OF ISIS CAME AS A CONSEQUENCE OF WHAT HAPPENED IN IRAQ. HE DIDN'T LIKE ME TALKING ABOUT HIM BEING AGGRESSIVE. BUT SOMEONE SAID TO ME AFTERWARDS, A MINISTER FROM RASHARD -- RUSSIA CAME UP TO SEE ME AND SAID WHAT WAS INTERESTING FOR US, THAT HE THOUGHT HE WAS MORE RELAXED THAN HE HAD SEEN HIM. WE KNOW WHAT HE THINKS, BUT WE DON'T THINK MANY OTHER PEOPLE KNOW WHAT HE THINKS. HERE WAS A CHANCE FOR HIM TO LAY IT OUT. A LOT OF PEOPLE IN RUSSIA COME OUTSIDE OF RUSSIA, ARE WORRIED ABOUT UKRAINE. THEY ARE WORRIED ABOUT IT BECAUSE THERE WAS POINT, COUNTERPOINT. THERE WILL BE AN ANNOUNCEMENT PENDING TROOPS IN THE BALTIC STATES AND REINFORCING THEIR ARMAMENTS. AT THE SAME TIME, THERE WILL BE A COUNTER POINT WHERE RUSSIA WILL TALK ABOUT WHAT HE WILL DO, NEW ICBMS AND THINGS LIKE THAT. IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO UNDERSTAND PEOPLE, I THINK. QUESTIONS DO HAVE POWER , EVEN IF THEY DON'T ANSWER THE DIRECT QUESTION OR THEY ENGAGE IN THEIR OWN SPIN. IT IS IMPORTANT TO WATCH THEM AND SEE THEM. I THINK PUTIN BELIEVES THAT. THREE THINGS I HAVE NOTICED -- ONE, HE IS VERY SENSITIVE ABOUT BORDERS. HE HAS NO IDEA THAT IT HAS MADE THEM MORE ALARMED THAT IT IS THE EXPANSION OF NATO. THAT IS THE ONE THING I THINK THAT HAD TO DO WITH WHAT HAPPENED. -- WHAT HAPPENED IN GEORGIA, AND HOW HE REACTS TO NATO. HE IS WORRIED ABOUT NATO EXPANSION. IT EXPANDED INTO THE BALKAN STATES. WITH ALL KINDS OF GEOPOLITICAL QUESTIONS IN TERMS OF IF HE PUSHED INTO ONE OF THOSE BALTIC STATES, WHAT WOULD BE THE U.S. RESPONSE? WHAT WOULD BE NATO'S RESPONSE? THEY ARE AUTHORIZED TO DEFEND ANY NATO COUNTRY. THEY WORRY ABOUT ANY MISSED REGULATIONS THAT MIGHT TAKE PLACE. EVERYONE IS WORRIED ABOUT THAT. I TALKED TO A RANGE OF IMPORTANT AMERICAN OFFICIALS AND DIPLOMATS , AND JOURNALISTS AS WELL. THEY SAID THE THING I AM MOST INTERESTED IN -- I WANT TO KNOW STEP-BY-STEP HOW HE WANTS TO REDUCE THE TENSION, BECAUSE HE IS PART OF THAT. THE SAME THING IS TRUE IN SYRIA. HE HAS A RELATIONSHIP, HE IS A PRINCIPAL BENEFACTOR OF SYRIA. HE BASICALLY KNOWS HE HAS A PROBLEM. HE WORRIES MOST ABOUT ISIS TAKING OVER SYRIA. MORE SO THAN HE DOES ABOUT THE SURVIVAL OF THE SOD. -- ASSAD. SCARLET: THANK YOU FOR GIVING US THE TAKE AWAY WITH YOUR CONVERSATION WITH PRESIDENT
