unusual settings of all right there in front of the resolute desk. reporter: a surreal scene in the oval office with the president embracing president trump. let me give this i go a hug right here. i love this guy right here. the unscripted episode of reality television across the resolute desk. how does it feel to be in the oval office? reporter: oh, it s good energy in this. the president somehow finding the time for a private meeting and lunch with the controversial rapper and loyal trump supporter that devolved into an incoherent televised rant. this right here is the iplane up, a hydrogen-powered airplane, and this is what our president should be flying in. if he don t look good, we don t look good. this is our president. he has to be the freshest, the flyes flyest. reporter: he came here for a prison reform meeting and capped off by capping in the oval
jets flying in and out of seatac and some of the major international airports. one thing that is interesting to keep in mind, just for the public that had flown, that are used to these airports and kind of the ins and outs of commercial flying, if you think about it, if a mechanic were to try to hijack an airport that was sitting at a commercial gate, there is no way that a mechanic could make his or her way into the cockpit and then somehow, you know, back the plane up from a gate. it doesn t happen that way. these aircraft are pushed out by a team of ground personnel that gives me a little more comfort obviously. this is a very serious security breach, but this tells me that this is likely an aircraft that was sitting at a hangar somewhere, that may have been undergoing routine maintenance, may have been part where they sit and wait to come into the get for an aircraft to take off the next day. but this isn t like it was sitting at a gate, waiting to take off full of passengers.
no real intentions upset, extracting it. we know secretary of state pompeo was heading there on jul. what do we make of their relationship with that kingdom? i don t think we got anything from a singapore meeting. i think we got a photo op which served kim jong un more than attend us and president trump, without speaking to mattis, the south korean president, decided, we will suspend our military exercises over there, which a lot of people don t know, every time we put a plane up, the north koreans have to put one up, too. it cost them a ton of money. those things were a form of sanctions in and of themselves. to lose that, to walk away from singapore was nothing, i don t necessarily think that was the art of the deal. there was nothing that i was impressed by without you. i don t think anything is going to come out of helsinki but i don t think it is going to come a net loss for the united states. shannon: the white house will say they got the hostages home and the war exercises c
airfield. one clarifying questionn terms of who was notified, who was in on this, one of the things admiral stavridis just mentioned is the issue of the russian government, obviously the most important ally to the assad regime, and also a big military presence on the ground in syria. do we know if the russians were given a heads-up about this? we do not. all we know on that, rachel, is there is this deacconfliction le that is used quite frequently because both american aircraft and russian aircraft are fighting isis and more of the eastern part of the country. this strike took place more in the western part of country just off sort of the border with libya, close to latakia, where, of course, the russians, themselves, have a big air base. most of the deconfliction talks that take place, these are daily conversations saying we have a plane up in this area, you have a plane up in this area. it s designed to avoid any sort of friction or frankly escalating incidents between the united
caught in malta. but our circumstances, the egypt air flight that was hijacked by a man diverted to cyprus. and that case, suicidal explosive belt turned out to be fake. these guys had hand grenades, going to blow the plane up in the egypt air flight case, this guy was upset about a broken marriage, wanted to see his estranged wife and could be politically motivated. we are waiting for more information on that. molly: a strange way to get your message out. thanks. gregg: joe biden reflecting on hillary clinton s that he lost in the election nevermind the controversy over email scandal, the clinton foundation. in an interview joe biden
