Not err on the side of caution and express optimism that a meeting will take place. If it does happen, it will likely remain in singapore on the same date, june 12th, and if necessary will be extended beyond that date. But it is unclear the type of contact officials are having to prepare for that summit. Well continue to have conversations. Well continue to have close contact with our partners and allies. On that oneonone with the 180, suggesting the summit may be back on. Now that he says north korea is talking to him. Were going to see what happens. Those calls, not returned. We have a lot of dial tone, senator. Now, june 12th is on the table again. That was the original date. Possibly some good news on the korea summit where our diplomates can pull it off and have it back on, even. The president was worried north korea would beat him to the bunch. So he canceled the facetoface before kim could, according to multiple Administration Officials. To the president , no surprise. Everybody plays games. You know that. Thats the problem. We get whiplash watching this thing because every day its a different story. Now, all eyes on china after President Trump blamed beijing for koreas initial threat to pull out last week. The chinese are trying to elbow their way into the conversation which President Trump catapulted to the top as a more traditional state craft issue. The meeting take place june 12th, well be ready. If it takes place july 12th, well be ready. So far, the white house has not said that planning trip has been canceled. So status for now seems to be a holding pattern. Back to you. Thank you so much. Lets bring in Julia Manchester for bloomberg tv. Good morning to you both. Good morning. So what changed between thursday and friday for the president to reconsider meeting with kim jongun . Looks had like there were back channel conversations and that comes at a time when the politics in this has been interesting. Democrats i speak with on capitol hill say the president was too short sided, he was not able to be organized enough to plan a meeting. Republicans are saying they want the president to have a longer term deal and not have a short had sided shortterm deal. Thats where this gets interesting. The bottom line is that republicans and democrats both agree that its good to have open lines of communication with north korea providing any denuclearzation talks be greeted with cautious, cautious optimism. Julia, you heard sara sanders saying shes not sure the president good go there this weekend. I think the president saw the North Koreans were playing some games with the rhetoric and the North Koreans got angry withlty of the receipt are rick from the Administration Last week in terms of the libya model and what would happen if they did not agree to denuclearzation terms. So i think the president is very much trying to take a page out of his own playbook at this point. I think Administration Officials will go along with it. Rudy giuliani told the Associated Press last night the white house hopes to get a read out of information from that controversial doj meeting with congressional leaders next week, particularly about the use of a long time government informant. Kevin, are you getting a sense of whether this spygate rhetoric has been ramping up for them . Are they working . There is no question its worked among republicans. Republicans are in lack step with one another. Democrats very much clearly disagree with this. They think this is something that really needed to be done during the 2016 cycle. But, again, and i hate to repeat myself, but at the enof the day, bob muellers investigation is operating on its own timetable and i think every time theres a report like this or every time the Congressional Committee does Something Like this, every time it will be up to bob muellers Investigation Team for when they decided to end their investigation. We dont have any sense that hes operating on any political timetable. And rudy jeel r julie annie is again moving the goal post. For when the investigation should be over. To kevins point, i can bob mueller is operating on bob muellers timeline. Wove seen some reports that that september deadline that julie annie set wasnt necessarily true. Muellers team has been tight lipped about this. Its almost like hes muellers unofficial spokesperson in a way because hes the only win giving details about this. Lets turn to some of the details on this new alleged tension between President Trump and secretary nielsen. Nielsen has complained that its an almost Impossible Task working for trump and that he doesnt understand the law. Kevin, how does how does this explain this tension . How does it come to a boil like last month when the president be raided her in a meeting overboarder crosses . Yeah. I think this is an example of where the palace intrigue meets policy. You have someone like her who has advocated for a much more free trump conservative immigration policy with the likes of Steven Miller who has the president s ear on immigration and he is very much at odds with had her. That has put him at odds with many folks within the Republican Party at times and i think youre seeing that. The president campaigned, right, wrong or indifferent that he wants to build the wall. So until that wall gets built, thats a Campaign Promise for his base, again, whether or not you agree with it. Thats a Campaign Promise for his base that President Trump feels needs to be delivered. If everyone in the administration isnt in a lock step with that, theyre going to be at odds with him. Are her days numbered . Its hard to tell at this point because that report mentioned chief of staff john kelly who is formerly Homeland Security secretary and secretary nielson was his chief of staff. So this is i couldnt tell again another sign of different factions in the white house going at it over this, but at the same time, weve seen nielsen has adopted a very conservative approach that could work well for trumps base, but at the same time, you know, shes clearly not too popular with that. Weve seen that the doj and Homeland Security announced the plan to start prosecuting families who enter the border illegally not families, but parents, which would eventually result in a separation of families which has been seen as a very hard line approach. So a lot of the policies seem like theyre in lock step with the president s hard line stance on immigration. However, he does view her as a george w. Bush kind of republican, which in his view to that article, is the worst kind of republican. Thank you so much. Stay with us. Because we do have more to talk about. So why my next guest says the sudden cancellation of the summit with north korea puts the nations perilously close to the before you think of war. And the president s captured the attention of late night comedians. South korea, who really has the most to lose in all of this was reportedly caught totally off guard. No one gave them a heads up. They had to call an emergency meeting they wrote, we are trying to figure out what President Trumps intention is and what his exact meaning is. Welcome to the club because we are, too.

In a letter to kim on thursday, trump withdrew from the june 12th meeting in singapore but changed his tone after a north korean official showered him with praises saying the dprk is has inwardly highly appreciated President Trump for making a Bold Decision which any of u. S. President s dared not. North koreans also called on trump to reconsider. Adam, good to have you here. The president says everybody plays game. How do you interpret that . The North Koreans are highly calibrated about what precise signals they want to send. Id say its probably were probably back to a better than even chance that the summit happens. But were in a markedly worse position than we were a week ago. Think of north koreas objectives. Sanctions relief, international recognition, dividing u. S. Alliances. On all three of those, theyve gained ground. Has the Trump Administration gained additional leverage to coerce north korea into the kind of denuclearzation talks that they wanted . They said they wanted to solve one issue at a time. I dont care theyve budged an inch. And North Koreans stopped making plans for the summit. They were incensed by comments from john bolton, from. Vice president mike pence and a socalled lib. An model if the u. S. Did not make a deal. Do you think those are missteps or do you think that was calculated on their part . Everything the North Koreans do is highly calculated. Using the libyan model phrase was probably deliberately inflammatory for this administration. It means that kim jongun could lose his head one day. So, you know, this is the back and forth of diplomacy. I think there is a standard way that the United States responds to developments like that. They can say to the International Community the North Koreans are trying to stall us out. That ensures the blame is blased on north korea. So adam, what risk remains if both sides are able to pull off the summit . Well, there are serious risks. There are damaging actions that are happening to u. S. Alliances in the region. South korea and the United States have had some tension in how they respond to these diplomatic overtures. And that risks the u. S. Standing in the region over the long run. There is a risk that there could be deal that is cosmetically good, but bad for u. S. Security. That might be something donald trump is willing to do for a political win. Then theres the risk that we find ourselves back at the brink of war. It is worse because the North Koreans have continued to advance. The north invited reporters to witness the destruction of a nuclear site. Can anyone engage how much of a blow that was to the Nuclear Capabilities of north korea . This is more of a side show. They have not yet promised to dismantle a single warhead or Production Facility or to ship the material out of the country. The test site was a proven way for them to test Nuclear Weapons. It was convenient for them. But they could have other sites prepared. The North Koreans did not allow inspectors to confirm the close yuf of that site. That was a missed opportunity. And lets talk about denuclearzation. Is there an actual path to that and is there any acceptable outcome that leaves a semblance of a Nuclear Program there . North koreas what very little reason at this point to give up their Nuclear Weapons program. They have they are hemorrhaging leverage. Im skeptical that the North Koreans will ever agree to disarm. The question now is will the Trump Administration walk away from the negotiating table without a deal that makes americans safer there are a range of deals that can do that, including a cap on the weapons program, the kind of Peace Process that south korean president moon jaein has pioneered. We should be looking at those options going forward. Adam, great to have you. Thank you for your insight on this saturday morning.

Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Eliquis, the number one cardiologistprescribed blood thinner. Ask your doctor if eliquis is whats next for you. A new report suggests the report democrats have beenry looking on is in jeopardy. Lets bring back julie manchester. What is the thinking and how did republicans get to this point . So theyre basing a lot of this off of recent polling seen in reuters that shows a couple of points ahead on the generic ballot. And that has given them a bit of a tailwind in recent days. We saw President Trump bragged about this polling recently. They say they candidates are not mainstream enough, theyre too far to the left to gal vannize on the democratic faces. This is still memorial day weekend. We have been several months to go. And democrats are still optimistic. Weve seen other candidates havent necessarily done well in the past, so i think the party is experiment, something new. And what is the midterm message from republicans . First of all, it sounds familiar, right . Too fringe, too far to the extreme, no shot of winning. I would be careful of reading too much into these polls this far out. For republicans, it will be that theyre doubling down and supporting the president. But for democrats, i think the bigger, longer term question here that will last even beyond all midterm elections of who exactly is misleading this democratic party. I totally agree with julie. Thats the fight twn the centrist and the more progressive wing of the party. That will shape the midterms and 2020, as well. How are they going to try to get back on top if thats a big issue . Theyre going to have to try to find key leader in all of this. Nancy pelosi said she wants to run again, butlty of progressives are not happy for her. So i think unity is key at this point. But id like to point out while some polling suggests that remembers are doing better on the generic ballot, President Trumps poll numbers are still not that great. And if they continue to be subpar into the midterms, that could pull republicans back a bit. Kevin, your take on the senate . I think the senate is much more easy for republicans. Theyre kind of running with President Trump. Kerchb cerelli, Julia Manchester. Great to have you on this saturday morning. That will do it for me. Im dara brown. Thanks for watching.
