but they are getting used to it. harris: it s a 12 hour difference, so we are appreciative of you coming out of the middle of the night. no matter how many may start you, they know you are working. john roberts, thank you. we look forward to your future reporting from the summit. i want to bring enough someone who knows the situation with north korea firsthand. retired lieutenant general david surged as chief of intelligence surveillance and reconnaissance for united states air force. he used to sit alert in the f-15, defending the south korean peninsula against kim jong un s grandfather. great to have you, lieutenant general, on the program today. would you make of this second summit? with each of the expectations b? first, it s great to be here. we need to keep her on the ball with respect to what i would call the big rocks. in other words, those things that we would like to see agreements solidified on as this whole process moves forward toward complete
