Stand there and watch as lava creeps up to their home. Well have updates on that state this morning. The breaking news, just moments ago President Trump said an american hostage, his word, in venezuela has been free. He tweeted, good news about the release of the american hostage from venezuela. Should be landing in d. C. This evening and be in the white house with his family at about 7 00 p. M. The great people of utah will be very happy. Were talking about joshua holt. He has been held in a venezuelan jail since 2016. We have more from the white house on the details. What have you heard about this . Reporter well, President Trump now celebrating the release of an american, joshua holt, like you mentioned, whos been held in a venezuelan prison since june, 2016. The 26yearold native of utah receiving support from President Trump in a tweet. Also receiving support from republican senator orrin hatch who said in a statement, im pleased to announce that after two years of hard work, weve secured the release of josh and tammy holt who are now on their way home to the United States from venezuela. President trump announcing that josh and tammy holt will be at the white house here later tonight. Weve reached out to the white house for a little bit more on what that will entail and havent heard back yet. We should mention that the release of the holtz comes just a few weeks after the holts comes just a few weeks after the Trump Administration did a victory lap about the release of three detainees from north korea. Let me ask you here, sarah, was there any evidence that the long effort to secure their release was reaching success here . In other words, did we know that this was going to happen or at least it was close . Reporter there had started to be suggestions last night that this was on the way. U. S. Officials wouldnt confirm the news, but we should know that the efforts to security the holts release, like senator orrin hatch mentioned in his statement, began during the Obama Administration when the arrests took place. This has been a long process, more than two years now rather, almost two years now that lawmakers have been working to secure the release of the holts. We had read that hes a mormon missionary from utah, jailed in 2016. He had traveled to venezuela to marry a woman he met on line. Is that the woman, do we know, do we have clarification, is that the woman thats coming home with him . Reporter that appears to be tammy holt, yes, a venezuelan woman that he met on line. Reports say he met her while trying to find someone on the internet who could help him practice spanish. She is from venezuela, but according to the statements from lawmakers, it appears like she may be returning to the United States. Obviously were working to get clarity on that from the white house. We will bring that to you when we have it. You may not know this, but is there any causal relationship between maduros recent reelection in venezuela and securing the release of this this american prisoner and his wife now coming with him to the u. S. . Reporter this is happening against the backdrop of turmoil in venezuela. Obviously the administration has taken a tougher line on the maduro regime in venezuela. These things are certainly happening at the same time. Certainly those are the kind of questions the white house should be answering. Announcing this over twitter is characteristic of President Trump. Yes, indeed it is. Sarah westwood at the white house. Well try to get more. Reporter thank you. Appreciate it. We have Jorge Luis Herrera with us thank you. Live from craaracascaracas. Walk us through who josh holt is for those who may not know and why this is significant. Reporter joshua holt became detained in venezuela in 2016 when he was arrested in the outside city of caracas, the capital city of the country. He was accused by the venezuelan government of planning terrorist attacks in the country, stockpiling weapons. Since then hes become in a struggle in the relationship between the venezuelan government and u. S. Government. Basically caracas, what hes saying is that this guy was trying to make a plot against the government of president maduro. We want to ask for clarity, tammy holt, he went there to to meet her on line. Is she that woman, and at any time was she imprisoned . Reporter she was imprisoned with him, as well. The thing is that this case has become like a dark box. Theres no official information on what the situation is, the government of venezuela is accusing him of planning a plot in this country. But there hasnt been like an official statement, an official process with clear information about why is really this guy detained in the country. Now he was released according to the government in recent days. There was a print riot in this prison where he was detained. And the u. S. Government and embassy here in caracas was expre expressing concern about his safety, not only about him but other u. S. Citizens. Of course he became the most notorious one because he has been repeatedly accused by highranking venezuelan officials of conspiracy, of terrorism in this country. We appreciate the input. Thank you very much. Other breaking news out of the Korean Peninsula and another sign that the summit between the u. S. And north korea may actually happen. The leaders of south and north korea met just hours ago at the dmz. The main focus here, how to get the meeting between the us and north korea back on track. Matt rivers in seoul. What are you learning about this meeting . Reporter we know that the two leaders met. It was extremely unexpected. It came as a huge surprise to those of us on the Korean Peninsula after what has been a roller coaster of a 36 hours since the summit between north korea and the United States was canceled. We know that this is the second time the leader of south korea has met with kim jongun. They met for about two hours this afternoon at the dmz. They met on the north korean side of the demilitarized zone, the zone that separates north and south korea. They met for about two hours, from 3 00 to 5 00 p. M. In tomorrows of what in terms of what they talked about, we know it things one, the joint declaration both signed on to when they met in late april. Frankly, the more important point here is we know they had a frank discussion as were told about the potential for the north korea and United States summit between kim jongun and President Trump. That is hugely impactful given that hours ago there was deep disappointment that the summit was canceled. The south korean president moon jaein has been a huge proponents of the summit, been pushing it harder than just about anybody. Yet, since then, theres clearly been a lot of active diplomacy going on behind the scenes. The fact that the north Korean Leader was willing to travel south, meet his counterpart from the dmz, talk about the summit, as you said off the top there, it is another indication that while the summit officially remains canceled, there is clearly hope that it might be rescheduled if not on june 12th, then on some other date. We appreciate it. Thank you. Cnn contributor and trump biographer Michael Deantonio is with us. These author of the truth about trump. We appreciate you being here so much. Thank you. Good morning. Good morning you to. Earlier this week, in fact i think it was just yesterday, President Trump was asked do you think north korea is playing games with you with all the back and forth and ping ponging as to whether the meeting was going to happen or was not. His response is everybody plays games. Do you see what has happened, the president pulling back and saying in canceling the meeting as a negotiating tactic from the president . It absolutely is. When he said that everybody plays games, he was being quite honest and speaking from his lifelong experience. This is a person who has approached everything in life as a game from his Real Estate Development career to his marriages to politics. And i had to note during the Previous Report how the south koreans are now spriexperiencin donald trump as we have, back and forth in this game. Based on what you know of President Trump, how do you foresee him playing the game if he has this facetoface sit down with kim jongun . I suspect that in the last couple of weeks he realized that he wasnt prepared for the meeting and that perhaps kim had outplayed him in the last month. His diplomatic efforts had been quite successful. In many ways, hes very trumpy in how hes willing to go to an stream and do the unexpected thing go to an extreme and do the unexpected thing. I think the president very much wants to achieve something. He could establish in august or september, when hed be more comfortable sitting down to talk and normal diplomacy might pave the way for something more productive. Like you, i cant actually predict what this fellows going to do. Let me ask you this how plausible is it, do you think, that the unpredictability of President Trump, that he plays so well, that on some level it unnerved kim jongun . Oh, i think these men are rattling each other on almost a daily basis now. I think mr. Kim probably is concerned that he continued to get the rewards that hes received so far. You have to remember that hes now regarded as a serious player on the global stage, far less of a pariah than he was six months ago. So he wants more of those rewards. And his outreach meeting with president moon, i think, is evidence of that. Thank you very much for taking time for us today. Thank you. Thank you, sir. North korea as you probably saw some of the video, blew up its Nuclear Test Site and also invited International Journalists there to watch. Cnns will ripley was there. Reporter arriving was surreal. The explosions were huge [ explosion ] earthshaking. They sent rocks and debris flying. We found some of it scattered later hundreds of feet away. I can only imagine what it felt like during the Nuclear Tests. Wills story of the journey to get to that site is just as fascinating as the story and the pictures youre seeing there was the explosions themselves. Youll hear the rest of his firsthand account later this hour. Up next, well tell you about a teacher in indiana. Theyre calling him a hero because he stopped a school shooter.

Two people are recovering from gunshot wounds in indiana after deputies say a middle School Student stood up during a science test, asked to be excused, and came back with two handguns and started shooting. Listen to what students who were in the room say happened next. And everybody started screaming and freaking out, and mr. Seaman ran up and tackled him and secured him. Then he started screaming to call 911 and get out. We realized he had got him to the ground, the gun was out of his hands. Cnn correspondent Diane Gallagher with us now. Hue how is the teacher and other student doing . Reporter thats right, two people were shot at the Noblesville West Middle School in indiana. The 13yearold girl was shot first before the teacher could get to the student, according to the kids in the classroom. She remains in the childrens hospital. Her family actually released a statement to us early this morning saying in part that her status is critical, yet we are pleased to report she is stable. Wed like to thank everyone across the country who prayed fur our family today. We appreciate each of the prayers. That is 13yearold ella whistlers family. Remember, again, these are seventh grade students who were in the middle, as the kids said of taking a science test when a student came in with two guns and started shooting. Some of the students say their teacher, 29yearold jason seaman, picked up a basketball actually to start with and threw it at the head of the student who had the guns trying to get him to drop them, throw him off balance. Which that didnt work, they say, again, mr. Seaman, a former College Football player, ran at the shooter with his arms out, pushed the gun away, tackled the student, something that almost reminded me of the waffle house shooting. This is an unarmed individual who runs at someone who has a weapon to protect others and themselves, to get that weapon away from them. Jason seaman is still in the hospital. According to his mother, he was shot in the abdomen, hip, and forearm. He issued a statement, it said last, issued, i want to thank the First Responders for their immediate action and care. I want to let everyone know that i was injured, but im doing great. To all of the students, you are all wonderful, and i thank you for your support. You are the reason i teach.

President trump is optimistic, but still no decision yet on whether he plans to keep his date with kim jongun on june 12th. This morning, north korean and south Korean Leaders held what was to us a surprise meeting, what was to the world a surprise meeting. Cnns will ripley just back from north korea after watching what they claimed was their nuclear site being destroyed. Hes been to north korea 18 times so far. Talk us through the significance of this meeting this morning. Reporter i mean, its incredibly significant. It shows that the leaders of north and south korea are determined to try to make things work and move forward with a positive dialogue with the United States. President moon of south korea has been intermediary the whole time, using the olympics as a springboard for diplomacy. Hes kept north Korean Leader kim jongun engaged. Importantly, hes also kept President Trump engaged, as well, giving him a lot of credit for creating conditions to bring about the renewed dialogue. There was a real roadblock the last few days. The North Koreans were coming out with bombastic statements blasting Vice President mike pence for remarks that he made comparing north korea to libya, a country that gave up its Nuclear Weapons only to have its dictatorship overthrown by u. S. Backed rebels several years later. That infuriated the North Koreans, they called him a political dummy. President trump canceled the summit, japanese we got on the train ride back from north koreas apparent destruction of their Nuclear Test Site. That sent shock waves through the North Koreans on the train with us. We broke the news to them. The next morning, a conciliatory statement from pyongyang praising President Trump, calling him brave for showing willingness to sit down and talk face to face with kim jongun. And now this surprise summit. We dont know how long it was in the works. The fact that the south korean president crossed the military demarcation line, walked into north korean territory, sat down face to face to meet with the north Korean Leader and the numberone agendas item was making sure that this u. S. Summit does happen shows that on the Korean Peninsula, theyre serious about making things work with the United States and moving towards diplomacy as opposed to moving toward military escalation. I want to tell you, too go ahead. I was going i know what youre going to do, thats where i wanted to lead you. I didnt know if you were going to go to it. You saw the facility where th ththat there are tunnels at the Nuclear Facility where they were blown up. Based on where you were, it looks like the sides of the mountains are being blown up. Any way to verify exactly what happened there . Reporter there there isnt a way to really verify it. All we can do is observe. We dont know how deep into the tunnels the explosions went. The North Koreans said that they were being transparent. There were no Nuclear Weapons experts with us to actually authenticate if what we were seeing was truly the irreversible destruction of the Nuclear Test Site. The entire trip from start to finish surreal. From the moment i landed in wansan, i knew the story was unlike any other. 18 trips to north korea, and this country still keeps me guessing. For more than 24 hours, we didnt even know if our trip to the nuclear site would happen. The rhetoric with the u. S. Was really heating up. Only when we boarded the bus did we know it was a go. We rode for more than 12 hours on a north korean luxury train. It was surreal. A tencourse banquet with all the blinds closed and strict orders not to film outside. We also couldnt film on the drive to the nuclear site. Arriving was surreal. The buildings were log cabins, almost like a summer camp. It was definitely not what i expected. We had to carry our gear and hike up what felt like ages to an area built for us. We visited tunnel after tunnel, the same tunnels north korea has used to conduct six Nuclear Tests since 2006. All of them full of explosives. Footballsized bags strung with wires. We even had lunch provided by the North Koreans ham and cucumber sandwiches surrounded by buildings that would be blown up just hours later. The explosions were huge [ explosion ] earthshaking. They sent rocks and debris flying. We found some of it scattered later hundreds of feet away. I can only imagine what it felt like during the Nuclear Tests. It was totally impossible to verify if what we were seeing, the dramatic explosions, made the nuclear site unusable as the North Koreans claimed. For the Nuclear Officials on site, there was almost a sense of sadness watching more than a decade of hard work go up in smoke. And those same officials were, frankly, shocked when the summit was canceled. The big reason for destroying the site was to give a good faith sign to the United States that north korea was serious about denuclearization. However, when i left the country, there was a sense of cautious optimism that these discussions and the summit which has the potential for historic change but also the potential for things to go horribly wrong. Nonetheless, they believe that things will move forward. All right. Warsh will, thank you very much. Another sign of optimism, this just in from the white house. Ill read directly here a statement from press secretary Sarah Huckabee sanders to a pool of reporters there. He said, the white house preadvance team for singapore will leave as scheduled in order to prepare should the summit take place. So another sign that the white house is still optimistic that this could happen. Theyre continuing with preparations for the june 12th summit, although no guarantee that the talks are back on. Yes. Despite that, a partisan panel has a lot to say about the news happening with north korea. Were back on the other side of the break with them. I have type.

Hes a mormon missionary from utah. Hes been jailed since 2016 after he traveled to venezuela to marry a woman he met on line. Police had alleged that he was stockpiling weapons and grenades in public housing. So hes been held for two years. The president saying good news about the release of the american hostage from venezuela. Should be landing in d. C. This evening and be in the white house with his family at about 7 00 p. M. The great people of utah will be very happy. Heres the thing josh holts family has now released a statement saying, our son and his wife have been freed today. We are grateful for the joint efforts made during this time of anguish that we have lived. We ask that we be allowed to reunite with our son and his wife prior to interviews and statements. Were grateful to everyone for their efforts in this miracle. Senator orrin hatch of utah also instrumental, really instrumental actually at the forefront of bringing this man home. More on our other breaking news of the morning out of north korea. The summit between the u. S. And north korea may happen. Joining me to discuss are Brian Robinson and farren johnson, brian worked for the governor of george and nathan deal, worked during the campaign, if i got that right. And you were ahead of obama 2002000 20001 2012 in the obama 2012 in the south, in georgia. Lets focus on the meeting that people did not expect. And potentially the talks being back on. The president said yesterday in response to a question everybody plays games. Did the cancelation work for the president . We dont know. Donald trump is taking credit for the new summit, so to speak. He also admitted that some is something hes sort of playing a game with. I think in a time when you are fighting toward true diplomacy, you got to have honest brokers on all sides. I hope that this president who we know has a history of playing games and lying at certain points is not playing with this summit that needs to happen. I as an american feel good that north korea and south korea was able to come together to have the summit. I hope that the summit happens. We must continue to be an honest broker and make sure that were not trying to just get so much that we actually blow the whole deal up. Im optimistic, but again, its donald trump, you never know what will happen with that guy. It looks genius, to be genius, if it works, right . You know, the surprise acceptance of the meeting, the fumbling over the libya model, theres a chance that this is not genius, its just the North Koreans need it this badly. The North Koreans do need it badly. They cost of fuel there has doubled. The their exports have been cut by 90 . Theyre really hurting. The squeeze is on. Thats because donald trump led at the united nations, he led with the Global Economy to shut off their Global Community to shut off their economy, and its working. Donald trump is winning. The North Koreans are coming to him saying, if we meet, go you give us this relief on this sanction, can you give us relief on this trade embargo. And donald trump is saying no. Okay thats why they didnt go to singapore because donald trump is standing up to them for the first time. They still may go to singapore. This meeting could happen on the 12th. Let me ask you about the expectations being set. I want to read a couple of things that president moon said in the oval office this week that President Trump will secure an end to the civil war, normalizing relations between the north and south korea, bringing peace to the peninsula, denewark i de denuclearizing. Are they doing anything to set expectations low . Theres a good chance a lot of this will not happen on the 12th. The only way that donald trump will go forward with this is if the North Koreans vow on the front end that they will totally denuclearize. There is no single definition of denuclearization that ive heard that both parties agree to. I think that we can agree that the North Koreans definition is different from donald trumps. Thats why youre seeing this tap dance going on, coming to agreement on what that means. For donald trump, that means you will meet with me or meet with u. S. Seventh fleet. Those are your options, north korea. Weve got to get to the fundamental question here. To assume that kim will walk into that room and walk out giving up his Nuclear Weapons, is to accept that he and his father invested so many resources for so long to develop this Nuclear Program with the primary goal of preserving their regime, now to just walk in and give it away. Youre right. He is a hostile dictator. Over time, through these administrations, hes shown that hes not willing to negotiate. Hes not willing to play ball with americans. So to create this sort of illusion that everything is going to be handled at this one summit, that we really dont e dont know if its on or not on, its just not going to happen. Ive got to give President Trump credit of actually beginning the talks. But hes got to see this through. I think that at a time where you see that north korea and south koreas coming together, weve got to figure out what are we prepared to say in this meeting. If this meeting goes bad and President Trump plays games with these two countries, thats going to be bad for america. Im cautiously optimistic about it. I think weve got to have a clear definition of what is success out of the summit, if it happens. You think the u. S. And the world are in a better position with north korea now than they were at any point during the Obama Administration . No, i disagree with that. I think that president obama, listen, he wants diplomacy, he wanted diplomacy. He was not going to do it in the vein of trying to compromise our american principles. Just because youre talking and trying to plan a summit does not mean this is a done deal. I think weve got to see this through. Does the meeting happen on the 12th . I think a meeting happens on the 12th. Im not sure if it will happen with everyone, all the parties involved. What do you think . As President Trump said, well see. But i do think that its going to depend on North Koreans coming to the table. In the past, americans have given them things before meetings. Then the kim family didnt follow up on their pledges. Thats happened over and over and over again. They didnt take the Obama Administration seriously, and not just slamming obama, i dont think they took any previous american seriously. Theyre scared of donald trump. Hes winning this game. They know that he will take action if they dont come to the table. Because hes led on sanctions here, squeezing the camps and squeezing the military elite around him who have dont used to a level of luxury that wasnt theirs ten years ago. Are you confident that china is, for lack of a better term, playing fair here with the u. S. In their conversations with kim . After that meeting with kim, he became far bolder than he was prior to that. Thats when we started to see the statements criticizing the National Security adviser, criticizing the president. We dont know with kim. Any time that youre dealing with sort of the power that the u. S. Possesses in negotiating, youve got to take that seriously. I think that kim has a history of being his wire the highway, being this dick his way or the highway, being this dictator. I think we have to be careful of giving trump too much credit. Sometimes china is an honest broker with us, sometimes theyre not.
