Steven Seagal Tells Piers Morgan "Russia And America Should Be Great Allies"

"Why don't we be really honest here, Piers?"

"Every country is involved in espionage -- every single country."

"The Americans spy. The British spy. The Russians spy. They all spy on each other."

"However, for anyone to think that Vladimir Putin had anything to do with fixing the elections -- or even that the Russians have that kind of technology -- is stupid."

"We have a situation here where all of this is happening here, in my opinion, from astronomical propaganda, and this kind of propaganda is…creating a diversion so the people of the United States of America won't really see what's happening."

"I think most of the people in the United States of America, and most of the people in Russia, want to like each other, and we need each other."

"Russia and America should be great allies, and that's the way it should be."

Seagal, who holds Russian citizenship and maintains a close friendship with Vladimir Putin, beamed in from Moscow to discuss current events with host Piers Morgan.

"We have a ton of enemies within," Seagal responded when asked about his opinion on President Trump's presidency thus far. "There is this whole group of leftover Obamaites who feel that they should overthrow Trump, and any decisions he makes and anything he tries to do."

"He gets blocked so often from the enemies within, so it's very difficult to anything."

Morgan tied the Trump discussion into the ongoing controversy of anti-American protests taking place at major sporting events.

"I believe in free speech, I believe that everyone's entitled to their own opinion, but I don't agree that they should hold the United States of America -- or the world -- hostage, by taking a venue where people are tuning in to watch a football game and imposing their political views," Seagal responded. "I think its outrageous. It's a joke. It's disgusting."

"I respect the American flag, and I myself have risked my life countless times for the American flag, and I don't understand or agree with this kind of behavior. I think it's an outrage."
