he will be making very important stops and i m curious to the messaging that comes out of the trip as we see them take off from honolulu. leland: hickam air base. there are 2747 either one of which can be the president s plane thus becoming air force when he gets on board, one is a support plane carrying staff, the other obviously carrying the president. the camera here is fixed and stay on the shot as the president departs. liz, to your point earlier about the messaging, there s a number of people who would normally be on this trip who have stayed behind, the secretary of the treasury being an example of one to tell the tax plan vice president pence on the road in pennsylvania selling the tax plan, talking about that as well, we know also he s going to do an interview with maria bartiromo to air tomorrow about
going to be a rigorous schedule and north korea issue is really looming over all the conversations. leland: hitting 5 different countries, 12 days. originally two trips, the first trip abroad that included saudi arabia, the visit to israel and then through europe for the nato conference and there was a point where even his national security advisers said the president was just really worn out and that s one of the things that his staff have been talking about in preparing for this trip, how to make sure he gets enough rest because as we have seen over the past nine months that he has been president or ten months as is always true with an american president, every word, every sill bull, every verb tense is closely parsed by the world, by the media and by other heads of states and that s something that
so that is one deliverable that you can count on as the president comes out and makes various announcements not just here in japan, by the way, this is something that we expect throughout the trip. i think the real challenge will be what to do about north korea and i don t believe even if i were optimistic talking to the administration officials as i have, i don t think they expect a lot. they are hopeful, but i don t know that they re counting their chickens. leland: we talk today sebastian gorka, form early part of the administration on the national security side. he s saying that there s going to be an attempt at least among the other allies, vietnam, south korea, japan, the philippines to assure them that the united states is also sort of trying to rein in and counterbalance china, whether or not the president brings up the chinese islands, chinese aggression against japan and some of their islands as well, yet to be seen. kevin cork in tokyo. kevin, the president has a long day ah
liz: president trump is looking into allegations actually, if we can real quickly look at video. this is the president and melania trump departing from honolulu on their way to japan as you know, we have been previewing their 12-day asia trip. the president and the first lady here heading to japan where we know he will be ticking kicking off a very busy itinerary, meeting with shinzo abe and troops there and in the meantime president trump says the department of justice should look into allegations that the clinton campaign essentially took over the dnc before clinching the democratic nomination. democratic strategists and ceo of blueprint strategy and mark davis, dallas radio show host.
up. we have been talking about this trip for quite some time and a lot of issues that the white house want us to be focused on. i m curious as to how we are going to see the trip play out with all of the distraction. we certainly speculate and in fact, we heard leeland talk to kevin cork, are there goals that the white house wants us to be talking about as opposed to the things that we are going to be seeing at home. you have the president going to five different countries meeting with all the world leaders, you know, golfing with the japanese prime minister and then back home you have tax reform which is his biggest agenda item for the fall, playing out and others begin jocking what should be in the package. the administration wants it done by christmas. we are looking in the beginning of december. you have a lot of action. you have the mueller probe back home. you always have cascading issues, one of the parts about the white house and the presidency is there s always 15 balls in t
