foreign minister is there, i ve met him. he wants to work things out. he wasng almost across with pompeo on the far right. i did notice on the north korean side, i didn t see anybody from the korean military, the korean people s army. they re very powerful but don t seem to be among the top people at least in this symc meeting. and then i didn t see their nuclear negotiator for many years who has been involved in some of the negotiations, or at least i didn t recognize him. so that s a sign that kim jon himself is the nuclear negotiator because he does know these issues very well. what i am picking up, just from the visibility of the meeting, is that on the issues of alization, liaison offices

a faux event if you will, a press conference, he s the master of it. we were talking about it, the physical way of escorting kim into theoom with him, holding his arm. almost macron levels of touching. you pointed out pal paability. will this be marked, this day, june 12, 2018, as the end of the nuclear threat from the north asia? i tell you, there s two or three places in the world we worry about right now. we worry about iran, potentially pakistan, and this country. i think if this does stop this danger, it ll start here. he ll get credit for it, but he shoots the moon, does the opposite of everyone else. and also, is it only right wingers who are allowed to do this stuff? is it only nixon that can go to china? why are you looking at me?
