gripf. as you know, abby, this is a big, big deal. kim jong un touching down a few hours ago, meeting with the prime minister. he a arrived aboard an air china flight, which is interesting, because we have heard that north korea doesn t have aircraft that could carry him this far. and while air china is the flag carrier of china, he was flying aboard an american-made 747. so an interesting combination of nationalities there. this is going to be the very first time, as you mentioned, that an american president has met with the leader of north korea. north korea wasn t created until after the korean war. the closest that an american president ever came was president clinton back this 2000. but at the last minute, he pulled back and sent madeleine albright, the secretary of state, instead. so when the two leaders sit down

was no major shake-up last night. the voter database controversy wasn t the only hot issue. sparks flew. here s sanders making the case that some taxes are good investment. the legislation is is $1.61 a week. now you can say that s a tax on the middle class. it will provide three months paid family and medical leave for the working families of this country. i think secretary clinton, $1.61 a week is a pretty good investment. clinton distanced herself from the president a bit on the syria strategy and was pushed over her no-fly zone proposal. isis doesn t have aircraft. al qaeda doesn t have aircraft. so would you shoot down a syrian military aircraft or a russian airplane? i do not think it would come to that. we are already deconflicting air
