This is this morning in Arkhangelsk, Russia, at the International Arctic Forum. (laughing) CNBC Europe has a reporter there &#8212; his name is Geoff Cutmore &#8212; and he got a sit-down with Putin at the International Arctic Forum. I want you to listen to the laughter here. The question is, &#8220;Mr. President, I just want to be very clear. You and the Russian government never tried &#8212; never tried &#8212; to influence the outcome of the presidential election, and there will never be any evidence found?&#8221; Here\u2019s the answer.<\/p>\n<p>PUTIN: (via translator) Ronald Reagan, who once was debating about taxes and addressing the Americans, said, &#8220;Watch my lips.&#8221; He said, &#8220;No.&#8221; He said, &#8220;Watch my lips: No.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>CROWD: (laughter)<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-227523\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/03\/putin-e1490898826173.png\" alt=\"\" width=\"625\" height=\"319\" \/>RUSH: They\u2019re laughing themselves silly over there at the premise. Now, Putin got it wrong. It wasn\u2019t Reagan that said, &#8220;Watch my lips: No.&#8221; It was Bush 41, said, &#8220;Read my lips: no new taxes.&#8221; But Putin\u2019s answer if you couldn\u2019t hear it through all the mishmash there, &#8220;Ronald Reagan, who once was debating about taxes and addressing the Americans, said, &#8216;Watch my lips.\u2019 He said, &#8216;No.\u2019 He said, &#8216;Watch my lips: No,'&#8221; and they\u2019re laughing themselves silly. &#8220;No, we didn\u2019t influence the election. No, we didn\u2019t&#8230;&#8221; They\u2019re laughing themselves crazy over it.<\/p>\n<p>BREAK TRANSCRIPT<\/p>\n<p>RUSH: Let me ask a simple question: We hear the all of this talk about the Russians interfering in the election and tampering with the election, and we know that they didn\u2019t because we know that they couldn\u2019t. How many of you are&#8230;? Besides that, how many of you would be bothered by it? Just based on that we know that the Russians tried this, how many of you think it\u2019s this big a deal? Seriously. How many of you think it\u2019s this big a deal, that the Democrats turned everything they believe in over to this one thing?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>PUTIN: (via translator) Ronald Reagan, who once was debating about taxes and addressing the Americans, said, &quot;Watch my lips.&quot;
