Anybody who takes over a situation like he did at 26 years of age and is able to run it and run it tough. You trust him. I do trust him, yeah. Really hes got a great personality. Hes a funny guy, hes a very smart guy, hes a great negotiator. He loves his people. I believe its a rough situation over there. Theres no question about it. We did discuss it today pretty strongly, knowing what the main purpose what well be doing is denuking. Its rough. Its lot in a lot of places, by the way. Hes denuking the whole place and hes going to start very quickly. Can i ensure anything . You cant ensure anything. I also will be inviting chairman kim at the appropriate time to the white house. I think its really going to be something that will be very important. And he has accepted. We will be stopping the war games, which will save us a tremendous amount of money, unless and until we see that the future negotiations n going along like it should. But well be saving a tremendous amount of money. Plus i think its very provocative. I may be wrong. I may be standing in front of you in six months and saying, hey, i was wrong. I dont know if ill ever admit that but ill find some excuse. A lot of questions still ling ber this whole thing, especially about the president s assertion that he hopes to withdraw u. S. Troops from south korea. Well have reaction from the pentagon and capitol hill. Lets start with nic robertson, who is in seoul, south korea. Nick . Reporter brooke, what were hearing from the administration here is they were somewhat blindsided by the cancelling of these joint military exercises that are hugely important to the defense of south korea should there be aggression from the north. The troops here are on the readytofonight footing. So theyre key to having that level of preparedness. We heard they want to understand the precise meaning and accuracy of what President Trump meant by stopping these actions. No mention of the joint military exercises but he does say he wants to improve the cooperation and coordination from the United States and south korea as they move forward in this diplomatic measure. Im Phil Mattingly on capitol hill. Right now when you talk to Senate Republicans, the members of the president s own parties, youre hearing a mix of two different viewpoints on things. Cautious optimism. They know at least at this moment, the world is likely further away from a Nuclear Conflict than they were just a couple of days ago and certainly a couple of months ago. But theres also extreme skepticism, the reality, the deal over deal with north korea over the last couple of decades has fall i dont know through and this is only a first step. Ive talked to several republican senators who are particularly wary of the president s decision that joint military exercetween the u. S. And south korea would be postponed or cancelled altogether. Theyre certainly not on board withat. As one senator said to me, this is like the first day of school and now we have to figure out what happens from here and what the grades are going forward. Back to you. Im Barbara Starr at the pentagon. For the u. S. Military, the key questions now are the details. What exactly is the president talking about . Will all training exercises, socalled war games, be halted . The next major exercise already scheduled for august. What will be the timing . Will it be all of them or just some o them . This is something kim kip has wa for years, he wants war games cancelled and u. S. Troops out of south korea. Did the president give kim everythings or are there conditions for these two agenda items. This is what the pentagon is trying trying to. Thank you all so much. Lets talk aboute about whats next with Christiane Amanpour there. Heres a little bit of news weve just gotten in that we know that President Trump called in to the Senate Republican lunch in washington touting the success of the summit. Were also told that the president and Vice President couldnt give a clear answer today when lawmakers asked him what the by suspending, quote unquote, war games. Whats your read on that . Well, ive been talking to experts, analysts andicials hereregion. I think everybody was a bit blindsided. The spent gone spokesman has just told reporters that secretary mattis was not surprised by the president s announcement. By the same token, you heard the military spoke masmpokesman in n say they continue to plan unless hes told something else. He said its a Bilateral Agreement between the u. S. And the South Koreans and the u. S. Cant just stop them. And for people who really depended on the last 70 years on the United States presence and its preparedness, thats what the exercises are about. Theyre about keeping the troops in the field there prepared in the case that they are needed. And as long as those troops remain there, they are going to need these exercises, according to the experts to remain prepared for when they may or may not be needed. So theyre not just there to protect against north korea, theyre also there, as others have said torq, to guard their eastern flank from any china rising threats and russia rising threats. Its not like willynilly troops plun plunked around the world and beating their chests. On the other hand, it was a mixed bag, it was great the two sat together and talked and hopefully began to build a relationship of trust while they try to figure out the big issue on denuclearization. Were going to wait to it see who pulls the next move and where the ball is, whose court is it in. Right now no specific promises on the actual nittygritty of denuclearization, brook. I know you were really hopeful about the outcome of the summit, but i also know that after you watched the president give that News Conference that you we to quote your language, worried and a bit depressed. Tell me why. Well, ive spoken to a lot of people about it. I checked my instincts with a lot of experts, former actual Trump Administration, actual policy person who resigned at the beginning of this yea ive spoken to just this evening a former u. N. Ambassador to china and people are pleased that this conversation happened therhappened , theres no down side about it unless you give thing away without getting things back. Theyre concernot enough was in hand for the United States, for the allies out of this conversation. On the other hand, i also spoke to a south korean official who says we think that the north have reconfirmed their commitment to denuclearization. We believe they think denuclearization means disarmament, in other words, getting rid of their nuclear weapons. Nobody else is kwai sure about that. I even spoke to an analyst who said maybe the u. S. Will have to live eventually with a north korea that lives under strict arms controls. Its better to bealking than it is to be talking about war. Christiane amanpour, thank you for weighing in. Some even floating the idea of a nobel peace prize. And major Court Decision coming down on the merger between our Parent Company time warner and at t. You will hear why it could have major ripple effects on all media. And later, alec baldwin says he could definitely win if he decided to run for president in 2020. Well play the clip. We know theres Nothing Better than getting off the couch and on the water. We know the great outdoors. We love the great outdoors. Get started fishing during the gone fishing event at Bass Pro Shops and cabelas.

We didnt hilarious. With claimfree rewards. Switching to allstate is worth it. I was very surprised at the size of this crowd. Woman my question is, why hasnt congress started impeachment proceeding given what we know, and they probably know much more. To congresspeople privately, democrats and republicans acknowledge that this is a reckless, dangerous, and lawless president. For them, political safety is what is driving them to sweep it under the rug. If we dont stand up for the basic values of america, if we normalize this behavior, he will continue, and he will push it every single time he gets away with it. I mean, thats sort of the reaction to any bully. It tends to isolate you, and when you meet with other people and listen, you get that sense that youre not the only one who feels that way. Well, im just grateful that everybody. m not the othat feels that youre not the only one who feels that way. That trump needs to be impeached. mbut prevagen helps your brain with an ingredient that youre not the only one who feels that way. Originally discove. In jellyfish. In clinical trials, prevagen has been shown to irove shortterm memory. Prevagen. The name to remember. Were back here on cnn. Im brooke baldwin. I want to take a moment to remind everyone about the dictator and his regime. His people are starving. There death camps where prisoner die, suffer rape, starvation and torture. He suppresses information to spread his propaganda and of course he detains foreigners to use as bargains chips, including american otto warmbier, who left north korea in a vegetative state and later died. Ill never forget, i talked to his parents here last year and they described the first they saw son on the plane back from north korea. And otto is laying on a stretcher, hes strapped to the stretcher and hes moving around and jerking violently, making these howling, inhuman sounds. Greta and cindy leave, go down the steps, its too much for them t handle. Austin and i walk over to otto and hes in this condition, he has a shaved head, his eyes are darting around in theyre ass deaf, hes got a feeding tube and we kneeled done and we hug him and try to connect with him and hes a complete vegetable. Every day i think of otto. I mean, almost every minute of every day i think of otto. Hes always going to be with me. Now we see north korea with the intenstions claiming to be victim, that the world is picking on them and were here to tell you as witnesses to the regime, north korea is not a victim. That was last fall. We now have a statement in the wake of the historic summit in singapore. They say we appreciate President Trumps recent comments about our family. We are proud of ot oaf and miss him. Hopefully something positive can come from this. Senate Majority Leader Mitch Mcconnell called trumps meeting a positive first step. Erik ericsson saidf obama had done what trump just did, americans would be demanding his im impeachment. Listen to th difference of how fox news treated president obama when he said he would be willing to meet with u. S. Enemies. Would you as president meet with the leaders of a country like north korea . Obama extraordinarily said id meet with him. Senator obama mhis intentions Crystal Clear on the campaign trail. I will meet not just with our friends buth ouies. President obama likes talking to dictators. He would meet with some of these madmen without preconditions. Im going to reach out to some of these crazy people around the world and get things done. Obama is bowing and scraping before dictators. The commander in chief leadership is now leading to a major Foreign Policy breakthrough. Another stunning donald trump breakthrough. President trump scoring a big win. Ts time to celebrate a great victory when it happens. We are really in danger in living in a sort of pretty little dream world where barack obama thinks the power of his personality is going to have this incredible transformative impact. President trump made the decision himself to meet face to face with kim jong un. This guy has a very unique quality of leadership. He is so charming, he can deal with people, he can get along with people. I think that this will only work out well. Jake tapper, i mean, its like you watch that, you watch the arc and its almost like record scratch. Its crazy. The idea that anybody can look at human rights issues, whether its the castros or are the llahsn iran or kim jong un or the kim family through a political partisan lens of the united ates, if obama does it its bad or trump does it, its good, or vice versa, its stunning to me. Human rights issues are human rights issues. What the castros, the kims, what the mullahs do, it has nothing to do with if you like the president at that time. We were covering a lot of the dissidents in cuba and their protests, the lack of freedoms in cuba and there was the exact opposite thing going on where one channel, not cnn and not fox, was praising this as an amazing moment of diplomacy. Well, we have since seen that there hasnt exactly been this blossoming of freedom in cuba. And now we see the same thing. Thats why its so unhealthy. Thats why organizations like amnesty or human rights watch, hu rightsst are u have to focus on because they dont look at it through who is president , i want to support the u. S. President. They look at it through what is going on in this country. Human rights. So the president is coming back from this historic summit in singapore. He gave this News Conference and had left the g7 early in canada and made a lot of news with how he treated our good friends in canada. This is what ehe said about thi News Conference in singapore about justin trudeau. He gave out a little bit of an obnoxious thing. I actually like him, but he shouldnt have done that. Thats going to cost him a lot of money. You think about the spectrum in 24 hours, on the one side he calls trudeau obnoxious i know Peter Navarro has walked back his special place in hell. And the president called him a liar. On the other end of the spectrum you have him with the handshake and the lavish praise of our foe. Talk about humean rights. It is a disconnect. He is disrupting our normal alliances in trade with the go their 7 and what we do with north korea. It seems as if he is favoring bad guys and dissing good guys. In actuality, when you look at policy, in north korea the u. S. Is still imposing economic sanctions. But it is striking, calling trudeau weak and suggesting hes not honest in one breath and then within a day or two i mean, the comments he made about kim jong un being smart and a great negotiator and he loves hispeople, effusive praise for one of the most murder use, barberous dictators on the planet. Hey, congratulations on your new book. It was great to be at the party last night. Everyone, if you dont know, the big book, the Hellfire Club which has been on the New York Times best seller list how many weeks . Four weeks. And congratulations to you on a much bigger achievement than a book. Thank you very much. Appreciate it. Next president clinton steps in again when it comes to the whole Metoo Movement.

Now more businesses, in more places, can afford to dream gig. Comcast, building americas largest gigspeed network. Former president bill clinton just did it again. He made Public Comments about the Metoo Movement that have set off another wave of criticism. During an interview with pbs this time, clinton was asked about the Sexual Harassment allegations against former senator al franken when he said this i think the norms have really changed in terms of what you can do to somebody against their will, how much you can crowd their space, make them miserable at work. You dont have to physically ast somebody to make them, you know, uncomfortable at work or at home or in their utter just walking around. That i think is good. Keep in mind this is just a week after he had a conversation with nbc news, questions about apologizing to former white house intern Monica Lewinsky. Heres what he said. Have you ever apologized to her . Yes. I apologized to everybody in the world. But you didnt apologize to her . I didnt talk to her. The think is i got hot uer the kol collar. Heres what i want to say. It wasnt my finest hour. With me anna navarro and simone sanders. Lets just state this fact it has never been okay to do something against someone elses will. Lets state that as fact. Ana, what did you think of clintons comments . Look, it makes me cringe somewhat. Let me say that i know bill clinton. Let me tell you that i like bill clinton. He alsopens to be one of the most eloquent and pathetic people in modern history, one of the most eloquent, effective speakers in modern times. And we see him struggling with this time and again for the obvious reason. It strikes close to home. It strikes home. He is vulnerable in a way where hes not just talking about this theoretically. Hes somehow trying to reconcile his history with what is now current times and hes not doing it well. Why cant he move with the times . He just simone, and hes right, this is a man who has a gift would words but he has stepped in it when it comes to metoo he just doesnt get it. Because this hits close to home, because the president had no set down and analyzed and reconciled his own situation with not just Monica Lewinsky about a numbe of other women, i think thats whats happening here. I would like to say that the former president got his words mixed up. Got his words mixed up . Simone. Simone. Hen read it and heard it, i thought perhaps, maybe we should stop talking a it with him. Previously folks didnt report what was happening to them, report misconduct in the workplace or a myriad of other places because perhaps they did not feel they could report it. Now it is widely acceptable, maybe, for lack of a better term to report those things. Women are being believed. Their voices are being heard and that is in fact a good thing. But isnt it also, im listening to you, and ana, youre turning it on the women but isnt he basically saying, well, times have changed so i cant really like i used to. I think what hes saying is times have changed so the things that may have been okay for me and others to do to years ago, 30 years ago, 40 years ago are not okay now. But heres the thing with bill. You know, bill clinton is not donald trump. He doesnt need simone or me to say what he meant to say. This guy doesnt need translation. He can do it himself but it is incredibly awkward and incredibly painful and obviously something he doesnt want to do. Any time he is answering any of these questions, he gets much more scrutiny than any regular person answering them because of his history, which we know. Look, im not one of these that thinks that bill clinton got off scott free. He didnt. He had to face his had to face his wife, he had to face the american people. His obituary is going to say what happened with Monica Lewinsky, its part of his legacy, part of his history. 20 years later hes having to answer for it still. So he didnt get off scott free. That being said, he would have paid a much higher price if he did. We saw al franken pay a higher price for a much lesser offense had that occurred in current times. So, look, its a very awkward situation for bill. Theres no if, ands or buts about it. We were just handed a statement from former Vice President joe biden. He just weighed in on this whole historic meeting between trump and kim in singapore. At the beg statement, he applauds the efforts but then he palaces the president for his actions there. I want to get you all to weigh in. He writes and while we should never refuse to speak with our adversary adversary adversarie adversaries, neither can we ignore the tremendous human ri actions against their people. By his own admission the president did not prepare for the singapore meeting, an inexcusable and irresponsible approach to a a highstakes negotiation. Going forward i hope the president and his team will focus on whats necessary for our safety and security, the complete verifiable aniable denuclearization of north korea. No one would say it wasnt historic but, one, what did we get out of it. What donald trump was saying was troubling, especially when he was so tough with the g7 members earlier this week and so kind of embracing with kim jong un. When you played the clip of owe o Otto Warmbiers parents, that was recent. Women stay with me. I want to talk about vulgar attacks that are only playing in the president s hands.

You could save 782 when liberty stands with you. Liberty mutual insurance. Spoiler alert. Not a lot of big fans in hollywood are fans of President Trump. Lately celebrity, liberal, outragelouder and louder. Some believe the backlash and Harsh Criticism may help the president. Here are a couple of examples of celebrities criticizing president and his family. You know, ivanka, thats a beautiful photo of you and your child but you and your child but let me just say one mother to another. Do something about your fathers immigration practices you feckless [ bleep ]. Im going to say one thing. Trump. I feel like the bottom has to fall out at some point and, by the way, im hoping for it. I think one way you get rid of trump is a crashing economy. So, please, bring on the recession. Sorry if that hurts people. Its either root for a recession or you lose your democracy. Simone and ana are back with me. This is all coming from the left, this is your side politically speaking. Isnt this only helping the president . I dont think so. Look, samantha bee, Robert De Niro or bill mahr did not spoke for the totality of the liberal community here. Instead of going into the suburbs of chicago or Downtown Chicago and saying i know you all heard Robert De Niro but he doesnt speak for me but this is what we as democrats are talking about. Thats what folks are the left should be doing. Ana, do you disagree . Brooke, i dont think it changes the equation much. There is a very large percent of america that doesnt like donald trump. A lot of hollywood, most of hollywood doesnt like donald trump. If you dont want to hear celebrities attack donald trump, i strongly suggest you dont tune in to any award show between now and the end of his term. But also, look, theres also the level of hypocrisy and inconsistency, right . People clutch their pearls because of what samantha bee said and yet that whats his name, the has been with the cowboy hat said the same thing about hillary clinton, ted nugent and got invited to the oval office and posed with the president of the United States. The words that Robert De Niro said donald trump has said in public time and time and time again. Weve got to stop covering our virgin ears and pretending to be outraged and offended and just shocked by the very coarse language. If you support a president of the United States who uses the same language. I hear you and there are other words that people at certain trump rallies have used that came out of samantha bees mouth but do you need to lower yourself to that . I dont think you need to lower yourself to that. The difference between a samantha bee, for example, and a ted nugent or a donald trump is that stha bee actually realizes it, regrets it and apologized genuinely for it. She did. Something that we have not seen the white house ever do. Speaking of liberal stars who conservatives love to hate. Here is a clip from alec baldwin. If i ran for president i would win. Hands down i would win. Because you would be the funniest,t exc campaign. If youre the hope of the democratic party. Im not. Im only saying that because people dont people dont really have a sense of whos going to somebody greats going to come up, i hope. The only reason i say that is because id love to run for that kind of position. Simone. He says hed win. Go ahead. Im tired of so many unexperienced white men throwing their name in the hat to be president of the United States. Can some latinas, can some black women, can we have some of those folks say you know what, donald trump is president , im funny, id win if i threw my name in the hat. Im just over it. Im over it actually. Im actually over it. The person that can stand up and credibly challenge donald trump is going to be someone that can speak to the heart of issues happening in america, given from Mcdowell County west virginia, to omaha, nebraska all the way over to san francisco, california. I believe that person could be a number of people but it doesnt just have to be a funny, o white man. Ana navarro, close us out. Give alec a little bit of a break. At least hes married to one of us. I think the thing about donald trump is he broke the mold, he broke the box. You dont necessarily have to be an experienced politician now to think you can win the presidency. Were seeing the name like howard schultz, tmark cuban, oprah. Its opened up the box for people who are not typical politicians. Frankly at this point i would vote for a potted plant over donald trump if that potted plant was the nominee. Ana navarro, i got nothing. A potted plant she said. I may have voted for a potted plant before now that i think about it. Thank you, ladies, very much. I want to get to puerto rico. We have breaking news where cnn is suing the government to get access to the death records after hurricane maria. Moments ago a judge sided with cnn. We are live in san juan next.

Death toll in puerto rico after hurricane maria. We talked about this study that came out that attributed more than 4600 deaths to last years storm. Remember the governments official death toll sits at 64. And even before this whole harvard study, cnn had sued to get access to the death records and the judge has just ruled in cnns favor. So lets go to leyla santiago live there in puerto rico. And tell me everything. Reporter well, brooke, our lawyers are in that building still negotiating with puerto rico lawyers. So we still dont have the information in hand. But puerto rico has said that it will release a datae to us with thousands of death certificates giving us a better idea of exactly what happened when it comes to deathsfter hurricane maria. The judge sided with cnn, despite the fact that puerto rico asked for an extension to delay the release of this record. Againhis is the first time that we get a good idea of who died, when, and how. And how is that different from the other reports you mentioned that harvard report, well harvard took a look anduest an estimate. They are estimating about 4600 deaths. Remember last year we did an investigation and we found at the time that the death toll could be nine times what the government was reporting at the time. T that was on the ground reporting. Talking to Funeral Directors and talking to fies. This will be concrete data that gives us an idea of what happened and, brooke, quite possibly could help prevent some of these deaths in the future. Now as i mentioned, our attorneys just got out of the meeting and our attorneys are still negotiating. We still dont have those records in hand. But the important thing is that the government of puerto rico for the First Time Since our lawsuit is now saying they will hand over those records. And well get a better idea of what the death toll may be which so many have criticized the gornment for keeping it at 64. I know that youve talked to families and they want their loved ones counted in the death toll. What are they telling you . Reporter i just got out and i havent talked to them since then but did talk to them this week and many are wanting the recognition wanting people to acknowledge that people died. Ive talked to Puerto Ricans in general who say, look, we dont we dont discount this was a tough time. There was a lack of power and a lack of access to medical care and people died way after maria because of those conditions but we just want the truth. We want to know what happened. And again, this is important for the families for recognition to know loved ones matter and there is a person behind every single one of these numbers but in the grand scheme of things, this is the only way that the government could possibly prevent another similar death in the future. Stunning. They just want their loved ones counted. Layla, thank you very much. Meantime, developing as well right now, confusion on capitol hill over what the president meant when he declared the u. S. Would suspend drills with south korea. This after that summit in singapore with kim jongun. We have that for you. Also moments from now, a judge announcing his decision on the merger between our Parent Company time warner and at t. A decision that will certainly have ripple effects on the entire media industry. And what the Trump Administration may don involving other cases. Brighthouse financial allow you to take advantage of growth opportunities. With a level of protection in down markets. So you can be less concerned about your retirement savings. Talk with your advisor about shield annuities from Brighthouse Financial established by metlife. And with twice the detail of other tests.

Now more businesses, in more places, can afford to dream gig. Comcast, building americas largest gigspeed network. Moments from now a judge will hand down the ruling on whether an 85 billion merger fren time warner and at t can move ahead. Jessica schneider is at the courthouse for us. Jessica . Reporter brooke, were just minutes away from a decision that could have broad implications for the future of media and future of business mergers in general. Now throughout the sixweek trial, at t has argued that it needs to acquire time warner and vice versa in order to compete with newly emerging media entities like facebook, amazon, netflix and google. The government on the other hand has urged the judge to block this merger, saying that any newlyormed entity and new Company Might be too powerful and it might then rse prices for consumers. So a big decision ahead and what exactly could the judge do . Of course the judge could approve the deal, he could block this deal, or he could approve this deal with conditions. He could mandate that at t sell off part of time warner which is exactly what the government wants him to do. Or the judge could put on behavioral remedies, meaning that at t and the merged entity might have to act in a certain way. Perhaps have a specific arbitration agreement. So a lot riding on this trial. An 85 billion deal that well have broad implications for a future of business as well as media. Jessica schneider thank you so much. Well stand by for that decision. And moments ago on the senate floor, republican senator bob corker fired up, calling out his caucus saying his own party is so scared of upsetting the president that they cant get anything passed. 95 of the people on this side of the aisle support intellectually this amendment. I would bet that. Would you bet higher than 95 . And aot of them would vote for it if it came to vote. But no, no, no, gosh we might poke the bear is the language im hearing in the hallway. We might poke the bear. The president might get up set with us as United States senators if we vote on the corker amendment so well do everything we can to block it. To block. If people dont like it, they can vote up or down. People can vote up or down. But no, the United States senate right now on june 12th is becoming a body where, well, well do what we can do, but my upset with us, then we might not be in the majority so lets dont do anything that might upset the president. The lead with jake tapper starts right now. Working to denucleararize north korea, President Trump said kim jongun is a funny guy who likes his people. And t and the history and hype and what did the u. S. Get from an unbelievable summit with kim jongun and can anythingim says be trusted . President trump today taking some heat for making concessions to a killer after
