who you know doesn't share the last name, who is kind of like extended tenure. i mean, to me, the real point of this week was to underscore the dynamics of the relationship between trump and the north korean dictator. the president has gone so far out on a limb in insisting that his personal relationship is what can untie the gordian knot that frustrated so many previous presidents and beyond, is he's in a position where he has to make this work. and what the north koreans realize is how fmuch leverage that gives him, because of trump's desire to show that he alone can solve this, is going to bend over backwards, as he demonstrated again this week, to for give almost anything the north koreans do. i think there's no question who is the pursuer and who is the pursued at this point in this negotiation. >> well, you know, ron, to your point, too, that really puts in context what we heard from the president in terms of joe biden. i'll just play it again for folks who may have missed it.
