Not much happens in Russia without Vladimir Putin.

I actually believe in redistribution (of wealth)

This is where I think policies do need to be somewhat race-specific, is making sure that institutions are not discriminatory.

When I talked to [Donald Trump] about - our intelligence agencies, what I've said to him is - is that there are gonna be times where you've got raw intelligence that comes in and in my experience, over eight years, the intelligence community is pretty good about saying, "Look, we can't say for certain what this means." But there are gonna be times where the only way you can make a good decision is if you have confidence that the process is working, and the people that you put in charge are giving you their very best assessments.
