Brit Hume's Analysis: Bill features a taped segment from former Fox News anchor Brit Hume, who critiques President Trump's handling of Putin:

— Brit Hume [06:05]

Bill's Response: Bill counters Hume's assessment, arguing that Trump attempted to engage Putin rationally but ultimately failed due to Putin's aggressive stance:

"Trump wanted to believe that Putin would come to the peace table... It wasn't Trump's fault. He had to try."
