0:32Now PlayingRussian President Vladimir Putin said President Clinton told him that he thought that Russia had a shot to be welcomed into NATO — but later told Putin that it wasn’t going to happen.

“At a meeting here in the Kremlin with the outgoing President Bill Clinton, right here in the next room, I said to him, I asked him: ‘Bill, do you think if Russia asked to join NATO, do you think it would happen?’ Suddenly he said, ‘You know, it’s interesting. I think so,’” Putin told Carlson.
