You know the phrase what doesnt kill you makes you stronger. If i walk off the set at 1 00, im good. Its still an hour left. Come on now. We wont kill you but well cut you. Speak for yourself. I have bandaids. President trump is gearing up to meet shinzo abe at the white house any minute now. Thats what youre looking at in your screen there. A Beautiful Day in washington. The two men will have a joint News Conference later this afternoon. Japan has been adamant about their desire for the us to stick to a hard line approach in dealing with north korea. It fears the president will make a deal with pyongyang regarding their Nuclear Program that fails to account for short range missiles that could hit japan. Todays meeting will come a week before President Trump is set to meet with the north korean dictator for negotiates. Hogan gidley talking about how the president is preparing for that. The president is meeting with his National Security adviserad. We have to have a denuclearization deal. Thats what the president wants and thats what hes pushing for. He plans to do g7 and then head over to singapore. Question remains over whether the summit will actually take place. President trumps lawyer, rudy guliani, raising some eyebrows when he said this just yesterday. North korea, after he cancelled the summit because they insulted the Vice President , they insulted his National Security adviser and said they were go to go to nuclear war against us. They were going to defeat us in a nuclear war. He said were not going to have a summit under though circumstances. Kim jongun got back on his hands and knees and begged for it, which is the position you want to put him . Katie . That was not good. Shes like here we are again. Thedgf diplomacy. Weve had a break through. The president had that meeting last week with kim young chul. People that i talked to this morning the state department and the National Security council are on track for the summit. Secretary of state mike pompeo and ambassador john bolton who is relatively new at the nsc, they have prepared the president with everything he needs for the summit to be successful. Theyre planning on doing it. I dont find Rudy Gulianis comment, someone working on the russia investigation as a separate issue, why is he commenting on this . Hes not helpful. We need to close his mic. Take his microphone off. The president is listening. Katie is right. He shouldnt be weighing in on foreign policy. If youre the japanese Prime Minister right now, youre highly concerned about this upcoming meeting. North korea has lobbed missiles over japan. Theyre afraid of what the stakes with this upcoming summit and what could come out of it. The japanese Prime Minister says this is the biggest threat since world war ii. This is real for them. No wonder he wants to talk to the president. They is the 30th meeting that theyve had facetoface as well as phone calls. This is a high concern for japan. To her point, shinzo abe was the first world leader to meet with the president after the election. He went to trump tower for a meeting. Their relationship is very close. Besties. They are. I want to add one thing. Japan is extremely concerned about what we will agree to in terms of the definition of denuclearization. Japan warned us in a matter of days ago in late may that north korea is skirting current sanctions with ship transfers over a wider area. Transfers of much needed oil, for example. Japan said one of their military aircraft spotted a cargo ship that appeared to be getting supplies in the East China Sea and appeared to take on cargo in the sea of japan, which is a broader area. So this is clearly something theyll talk about. A point to dagen and lisas point. On dagen, donald trump sort of was putting himself on the back for creating these relationship with world leaders. He had a testy conversation with trudeau, macron about trade. A separate issue. On trade. It appears that japan is in the bulls eye on trade. China is the bad guy on aluminum and steel but theyre applying sanctions about japan. Theyre questioning how much these relationships are a value to him. And japan being a regard to north korea, mike pompeo said the principle concern for the u. S. Was whether or not the u. S. Was in dangered by what north korea has. Hes a not how alliances work. Were not just not just but and the backers of the gulf war were joining us. President trump has said hes going to address the concerns with the japanese Prime Minister. Great. He should. The hostages that north korea has as well. Thats great. The issues will likely come up in this summit. If theres a threat to japan, theres a threat to the United States. Thats the reason of the summit, to address the issues, the hostility from north korea, which is also why President Trump implemented the maximum pressure campaign, which has worked because kim jongun wants to come to the negotiating table. I want to interject. When you see shinzo abe coming up, youll see he will be wearing a blue ribbon which is to call a tension to the plight of the japanese prisoners that were abducted in the 70s and 80s. Theres 17 of them. Thats one of the things that theyre focused on. About if theyre interested in the end game, which is not determined in this summit, this is a discussion in a long list of things that were going to go through if the north korean summit is successful. The Prime Minister is arriving now. Now back to melissa and make my point later. We can see here. Look at the color here ahead of time. The president is going to come out, standing at the door, getting ready to meet shinzo abe. Theres a lunch that we wont be privy to. We expect to hear the camera spray where the leaders sit together. There they are greeting each other. Very friendly. They have a long history. A nice wave. A little photo op. A nice day. Beautiful day in the neighborhood. Exactly. Then theyll come out later at 2 00 and have a joint event. A few more seconds on camera and on they go. What i was going to say, when it comes to the conditions of a deal or treaty as the president said he wants, involving congress, its going to be a whole of how much bad behavior are we willing to put up with north korea. They were willing to ignore bad behavior with iran and funding terrorism, other a Bad Influence in the region and meddling and trying to destabilize the middle east. When it comes to north korea, are they allowed to keep their short range missiles. The issue is, the north korean regime keeps their Nuclear Weapons because they believe that is the only way to preserve them. Its going to be hard to get them to give up their short range missiles. Thats why the Administration Says they will protect kim jongun even if we come to an agreement about the disarming. How far they go with that, we talked about denuclearization. But theres other weapons capabilities on the table as well. That is a very valid question. I dont know that any of the questions. Their concern is regime preservation. In terms of Nuclear Weapons nuclear is exisstential. They got the chinese and the russians to agree to clamp down on the iranians. But nonnuclear is not a stroking matter to the japanese. Absolutely. But with nuclear, ill point out and this leads to our next topic with the iran deal, all we did is allow iran to kick the can down the road and restart their Nuclear Program. Restarts part of it in 2025 and handing them 100 bill in sanctions relief and cash. I want to raise the issue about the tariffs. Because again, what president is doing on trade is in part what he did to get north korea and kim jongun to the table. That is sanctions. Its getting tough and putting economic pressure on a nation. Thats what hes doing with the steel and aluminum tariffs. And auto tariffs. How do you bring our allies to the table to negotiate a bigger, better trade deal. But the bad guy is china. I agree. Bringing you the comments from the white house and where that meeting is going on as soon as we have them. Meantime, a shocking new report from a great of Senate Republicans finding the Obama Administration secretly granted a license giving iran access to the u. S. Financial system to side step sanctions kept in place after the nuclear deal. And misled congress and the American People about it. Gop senator rob portman that chairs the investigation subcommittee that published the report weighing in last night. The iranians badly wanted access to the u. S. Financial system and i think they were making that a condition for the agreement, for the final agreement. Although they were saying to the congress, the officials at the treasury department, that there was no access, in fact, they granted a specific license to have access to the system. The report goes on to say that obama officials tried to pressure two u. S. Banks to converting 5. 7 worth of iranian assets. The effort was unsuccessful because both banks not wanting to violate the sanctions said no. Richard, what do you i think . The Obama Administration said they werent interviewed. This was a republican report. So you think they didnt do this . This is what i think. I think the money was frozen at the time of the iranian hostage crisis back in 1979. That was iranian money. That is unfrozen. It wasnt a handing over of it was money going it wasnt this particular regimes money. It was a different government. But still this is actually a solution. The obama people say no, you got it wrong. Rob portman, a smart guy, says this is what we found. Theres a solution. Have a public hearing, brick in jack lu the Associated Press said this went above and beyond the terms of the iran deal. An objective source there, to your point. Its interesting to hear about this in the backdrop of the conversations over north korea, right . President trump pulled out of the deal because it was weak. You look at its failure to address ballistic missile, the sunset provision, the inspections. Proponents of the deal said it was bad. You look at this in the backdrop and report remember going into the summit, we need a strong deal. We dont want to be weak like the Obama Administration was or like the very bad negotiator john kerry. Seems like another lie that we heard about this deal. We heard about any time anywhere inspections. That was a lie. There was no access to the Financial System of the u. S. That was a lie. And after the deal was done after this rolled on, you had secretary of state john kerry and other Administration Officials in europe telling european banks, please im paraphrasing please do business with iran because they were trying to get the iranian economy started when in this case, u. S. Financial institutions were not doing and could not do business with iran. Its important to point out, as you said, two u. S. Banks said no and refused to do this transaction. This is why pulling out of the i ran deal, american businesses largely expected this. It was not a treaty. It was not ratified that way. You had boeing that cut a deal with iran. Its europe and the businesses there quaking in their boots because they rushed in. The americans refused to step up and its worth pointing that out, this is the guts and gumption of american business. Lets see who the europeans have jumped into bed with. The Iranian Regime is just not another country. The iranians are the largest state sponsored supporter of terrorism in the world. Before 911, they were responsible for more deaths of americans than the taliban and the Obama Administration was willing to lie to the American People and congress and Keep Congress out of the treaty and they did the shady deals that we continually find out about. This is a terrorist regime that is willing to destabilize the middle east, which is why youve seen allies wait let me finish. Come to the defense of the United States and moving forward the europeans have to make a choice about whether theyre with a terrorist regime and the iranians on the americans to protect the world against them hes been so patient here. The iranians are nasty. They had a bomb threat against a saudi ambassador in a restaurant in washington. Two days ago threatened to annihilate israel and weeks away from breaking out before this deal. Theyre not now. Would you rather have two nu Nuclear Threats we do. And we gave them 100 billion in sanctions relief and 1. 7 billion everything is to fund rrorism. Everybody has behaved so well, lets take a commercial break. The president is meeting with shinzo abe ahead of the north korean summit next week. Well bring you the president s comments from the oval office as soon as we get them. The Justice Department is acknowledging that Rod Rosenstein will not recuse himself from the Mueller Probe despite the firing of james comey, this as the president s legal Team Stepping up attacks on the probe.

Youre looking live at the white house where President Trump is in the Oval Office Meeting with japanese Prime Minister shinzo abe ahead of their 2 00 p. M. News conference, which we will carry live here. They will address issues like north korea, trade and north koreas missile program, which the japanese have expressed concern over. This again in front of President Trumps big meeting in singapore next week with north korean dictator kim jongun. We saw the north korean delegation in the same place last week on friday in the oval office. So well see and get that tape from the meeting with shinzo abe, the japanese Prime Minister as it comes to us so we know what is going on ahead of the singapore summit. And a fox news alert. A growing show down over Rod Rosenstein who will not recuse himself unless it deems it necessary. All of this amid if rosenstein should be a witness. The doj responding the Deputy Attorney general will recuse all or part of any matter if recuse sal were deemed appropriate by department officials. Otherwise, he has a responsibility to fulfill his oath. Heres senator graham responding to a question today on whether he is satisfied with the Justice Departments response. No. You talk about accountser intelligence investigation. I get that. The question is, is he obstructing justice. Is there a serious look at whether or not the president obstructed justice by firing comey. I dont know how you can have that discussion. Meantime, President Trumps lawyer, rudy guliani, echoing the president s claim that the investigation is politically motivated. Theres a group of 13 highly partisan democrats that make up the mueller team, excluding how many, trying very, very hard to frame him. To get him in trouble when he hasnt done anything wrong. They may not realize theyre doing it. But they cant emotionally come to terms with the fact that this whole thing of russian collusion didnt ha,hat theyre trying to invent theories of obstruction of justice. As you can imagine, Claire Mccaskill slamming gulianis claims. Watch. What rudy guliani is doing is he is trying to use a megaphone to damage the rule of law in our country. Its particularly disappointing with Rudy Gulianis background. He knows the fbi is not a criminally corrupt organization and he knows that Robert Mueller is trying to get to the facts. And the president tweeting this morning, when and where all the conflicts of interests listed by the 13 angry democrats while working on the witch hunt hoax this all a democratic excuse for losing the election. Where is the server . I imagine you agree with senator mccaskill. Is there an over under how many rudy guliani will be a spokesperson he just got there. Okay. Between beg on their knees and this comment about framing. Mueller, who he has the highest respect for its a low question. As to the 13 angry democrats, if you looked at the political contributions of all 13, these are the people, very esteem people working for mueller. They dont come close to what donald trump contributed to the democrats over the years. Theres one issue here, the Intelligence Community agrees that the russians meddled to help donald trump. The Republicanled SenateIntelligence Committee agreed to that. This is not partisan. So the only question for rosenstein is, what was his little role on a memo that had nothing to do with the underlying facts. No, no. This issue is whether rosenstein should recuse lets get back to that issue, whether he should recuse himself. Does he have a point at the Hillary Clinton victory on Election Night . Yes. Thats what i want to go back to. The fact that senator Lindsey Graham is laying out the case that the guy, rosenstein that lied out the case for firing james comey, with not oversee him, cannot be in charge of him and cant be a witness or should be a witness in this investigation either. Its a very fair point. Keep in mind about senator Lindsey Graham, this is the guy that said that firing mueller would lead to the end of the trump administration. This is the guy that joined a Bipartisan Group of senators to try to limit the president s ability to fire mueller. So this is a guy that is coming from a very objective stance in all of this who is simply raising i think a very sincere and concerning point. I want to ask a question of the whole couch though. So if this i. G. Reports comes out as being leaked, that it shows that james comey was insubordina insubordinate, doesnt that nullify the obstruction question . The whole point was supposed to be President Trump fired comey because theyre hot on his heels in the russian investigation. If he was fired justly and the i. G. Report shows that, isnt object struck gone . Comey broke the rules. I was on this couch the day after he sent that letter saying i thought he discredited the fbi. Totally. That doesnt go to whether or not anything he did as regards to the russia investigation was or was not clean. Were talking about obstruction. And there were other witnesses. The president called the director of the National Security and the fbi to say cool it a little bit on this or at least announce that im not under investigation. He had no business president obama said Hillary Clinton didnt do anything at wrong. So what do you say there . Ill say the reason that even though rudy guliani is stumbling over himself, commenting about north korea, the reason the president has been so active about this on twitter and even people who are his allies, you have a leftwing liberal media that decided this was an obstruction of justice case the moment that james comey got fired even before that. So its not about investigating collusion. Its about nailing the president for something and cooking up evidence. He has a right to defend himself and toush back on that narrative apfcrs theedia landscape. Whatever the i. G. Record says we dont know what it says. I hope they do to move on. We have to go. We have to move on. Senator Chuck Schumer sounds optimistic about retaking the senate. Is he realistic . Well debate. You might take something for your heart. Or joints.

The president is inside the Oval Office Meeting with japanese Prime Minister shinzo abe. We have a pool spray as they call it where they sit around and take some video of it. We hear the audio. We understand that they talked about north korea, of course, and iran. The president saying it was more than just a photo open. The meeting. Also that it wont be acceptable if they dont completely denuclearize. When we have the footage, well bring it to you. And Chuck Schumer sounding bullish in 2018. He said its not out of the question that his party could retake the senate this fall despite the fact that they have way more seats to defend than the republicans. Says schumer i think that the conventional wisdom that its next to impossible or a steep climb is wrong when you look at race by race as trump is going up, our senators are going up in the polling. Schumer says that his crop of incumbents in states that trump won are identifying with the needs in their own states rather than washington and the national party. John cornyn, the number 2 republican, a skeptic. He said senator schumer is a master politics and spinmeister. He said that former president obama is open to helping Senate Democrats in the fall. So perhaps that explains his optimism. Didnt help Hillary Clinton in 2016. Ill point that out. There are ten democrats up in states that President Trump won in 2016, lisa. So what is Chuck Schumer eating or drinking . I dont know. Id like to know. Might be interesting. Senate schumer said it would be a democratic nation in the making. Maybe he should stick to his day job and stop obstructing and lay off the political prognosticating. Hes not very good at it. Dagen, to your point, its just math. Democrats are facing they have more democrats up for reelection cycle than republicans do. Not to mention the ten states that President Trump won, five by double digits. A lot of vulnerable democrats. A poll showed that at least five of the democrats, more than half of voters in those states said they dont deserve reelection. So democrats are looking a tough math and we might see Chuck Schumer crying on Election Night in november. So its now 5149. Republicans control the senate. 26 democrats are on the ballot because of retirements and people dropping out. Nine republicans. Its a steep hill to climb but democrats have very good chances in nevada, arizona to the open seat and in tennessee, the seat vacated by bob corker, where Phil Bredesen is popular. And yes, theres vulnerable republicans, no question about it. You mean vulnerable democrats. The vulnerable democrats. Lets go through the list. Nbc walked through a poll today that on the generic had it back to 10 points, 50 to 40, who you want to control congress. Heres some of the vulnerable senators. Tammy baldwin from wisconsin, john tester in montana, Sherrod Brown in ohio. Joe manchin in kentucky and more. Were going to have to go back and listen. So the president inside the oval office talking to japanese Prime Minister shinzo abe. A lot on the table as these two meet with the north korean summit coming up. Listen to the tone, listen to the tenor of what the president has to say and you judge for yourself. Im very wellprepared. Its about attitude, its about willingness to get things done. I think i have been prepared for this summit for a long time and has the other side. I think theyve been prepare ago long time also. So this isnt a question of preparation. Its a question of whether or not people want to happen. Well know that quickly. [question inaudible] well, its going to be much more their photo op. Its not a onemeeting deal. It would be wonderful if it were. Theyve been doing this a long time. A lot of enemies out there, a lot of dislike, a lot of hatred between countries. This will not be just a photo op. This will be at a minimum well start with perhaps a Good Relationship and thats something that is very important towards the ultimate making of the deal. Id love to say it could happen in one deal. They have to denuke. If they dont denuclearize, it will not be acceptable. We cannot take sanctions off. The sanctions are extraordinarily powerful. I can add more. But i have chosen not to do that at this time. But that may happen. By the way, with iran, were adding tremendously powerful sanctions. They understand that very well. I think iran is not the same country if you look. I dont think theyre looking to the mediterranean like they were two months ago. Its a big difference. Number 1 nuclear but also you get the side benefit that iran is a different place and well see what happens. Maybe ultimately something will happen with iran. For our meeting next week, i think its going to be a very fruitful meeting. Its going to be an exciting meeting. I think were going to get to know a lot of people that our country never got to know. This is something that should have been handled many years ago by other president s. Shouldnt be handled now. Should have been handled years ago. But its being handled now and ill take care of it. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. Thank you. Thats my favorite part where they scream at the reporters to get out of the room and they dont move. To be fair, you never know when the president will answer one more question. You have to be the last dog out of the room. What you heard there, the president ending with a very strong note saying this is a situation that should have been handled years ago. I will take care of it now. Talking about the meeting with north korea saying he would love to say its going to happen in one meeting but he doesnt expect that. He talked about compare and contrast whats going on with north korea and iran. Talking about the new strict sanctions that have been put back on iran and the pressure being applied there versus whats going on in north korea. Hes still leaving the sanctions on but looking forward to get to know people. Katie . He also said he can add more sanctions. Theres talk about whether we should put more sanctions on north korea before the summit. He said hes not going to do it but could do it in the future. He talked about irans changing behavior in the mediterranean and not harassing our ships in the persian gulf anymore since we decided to put more pressure on them, which is a signal. He said ill take care of it. Hes taking responsibility for whats going on in the future. He said this is a process, not the end goal, this is a meeting theyre having and he believes he can get to an end game. Hes smart to lower expectations. First, im going to meet. Getting rid of the Nuclear Weapons he never said thats not the case anymore. What is the alternative . We have a meeting and not have the resolution the president wants. What are our options . Richard, based on every one that ive talked to, nobody is reading to what president said even befe thi comment he was going to say erythg was going to get done in one meeting. Literally scholars are saying that you will theyre going to the meeting to sit down and figure out if north korea is serious. And hats off to the president for doing this. No question. Full credit. He said plenty of time there will be a deal, maybe not. I disagree and in terms of iran, european firms are already pulling back from doing business in iran. Were putting pressure on the Current Exchange in iran and going after money being funneled into that nation. So were getting tough. Were not in the deal anymore. Plenty of atrisk senators in the midterms like joe manchin for one. He now says that he regrets backing Hillary Clinton in 2016 and would be open to backing the president in 2020. Some republicans not having it saying hes pandering to save his seat. Whether hes playing politics or standing on principle, we debate. So if you have heart failure, ask your doctor about entresto.

Former president bill clinton is now getting pushback after he criticized craig melvin. Melvin asked if bill clinton apologized. Watch. I think the tape speaks for itself. You never asserted you ever apologized. You asked if he apologized. The interview started with a question. So richard, president clinton getting push back from the mainstream media. He deserved it. He said it wasnt his best moment. His conduct which one the affair or what he said in response to craig melvin interview and what happened in the oval office is unacceptable. Why he was sputtering is for everybody to get on their high horse that supports donald trump that forget apologize, called liars, everybody that has accused him its not sputtering. Hes sputtering because he doesnt think he did anything wrong. Thats what he really doesnt think he did anything wrong. Very much feels like its consensual. He doesnt understand that it cannot be consensual given the power dynamic. Maybe theres people that agree with him. Thats what is chapping his hide. The arrogance, big old bubba believes that he was going to get a free pass from the friendlies in the news media. He really thought deep down its clear from the interviews that hes done that he was going to sit next to James Patterson and talk about his new venture writing a book. That is the depth of its true. Can we talk about why . Hes washed up and politically unusable. The clintons are unusable. Democrats know they reached the end of the road with the clinton dynasty and the importance and helpfulness they they served for democrats. Now theyre throwing them under the bus. If he was useful, this wouldnt be happening. Thats why Kirsten Gillibrand was happy to stand side by side with bill clinton and she threw him away once and people feel sorry for Hillary Clinton. They really dont like bubba at this point. Two words from my father. Get gone all right. With that, more outnumbered in just a moment. High protein to help get us moving.

Meantime, west Virginias Joe Manchin appears to be getting on the trump bandwagon. The democratic senator telling politco that backing Hillary Clinton in 2016 was a political mistake and he could be opening to backing the president in 2020. Manchin saying im open to supporting the person that i think is best for my country and my state. If his policies are best, ill be there. Im with the president more than other republican senators are with him. A lot of the policies he has tone have been good for the state. So richard, even though he says that, he has opposed President Trumps signature accomplishment, the tax reform law, opposed Obamacare Repeal and aform. How will that fly in a state that he won by 42 points . Well see. The last polls had him up by double digits. Theyre democratic polls. This spokes to the fact that manchin was governor governors get close to their constituents. Hes now in the senate. Hes held trump tried to get him to switch parties, remember . The fact that hes saying this is smart politics, well see if he believes it after he gets reelected. I agree with you. The fact that he can vote against him and be viable, its formidable. Doesnt that show the trouble that hes in . Joe manchin embraced Hillary Clinton and now throwing her under the bus. Hes in trouble. Hes in trouble and republicans know that they cant take any seats for granted. You take a look at the democratic makeup, its difficult to convince blue dog democrats to vote on a republican because they are republican in the same party as the president. So convincing them to make that swing for someone like joe manchin will be more difficult. I dont understand why he doesnt just switch his party ideas. He said Hillary Clinton say that she would help me on broad band didnt she get booed in West Virginia . Let me repeat what the woman said in West Virginia. She said im going to put a lot of coal miners and Coal Companies out of business and wanted to come and campaign in the state to explain her comments. She literally said that. There is no one of the biggest days for trump is a coal county in western virginia. This is why joe manchin voted for gina haspel. And if joe manchin wins, speaks to the fact that even in West Virginia, whether its the me too movement or the people that win the generics, theres plenty of them to basically say, you know what . I voted for trump, i kind of want a little check on him. This goes to the fact that he was governor and he knows the state really well. He voted against the tax cuts, voted against the trump economy.
