american families. sandra: interesting. governor, the president seemed really optimistic last night at that speech he gave at the rally. we have a great team together for our talks with north korea. we are moving along nicely, says the president. maybe put the date and exact timing of this aside, what do you think are the actual chances of this summit taking place and those two world leaders getting together and sitting down? well, it looks like the summit will take place and i said that it is because both leaders need it and the international community needs it because you want dramatically less tension in the korean peninsula. i think the issue is going to be will it happen june the 12th. look, i don t think that should be criticized if it doesn t happen then. if a few more weeks are needed, let s do that. if the pompeo meeting with the north korean doesn t turn out well and you need more negotiating, you know, we have
friend of the show, marsha blackburn. we ll play you some of the best moments of the rally throughout the show.he first, as the president s historic talks with kim jong un ways and the balance, despite what you are hearing from the left wing media in this country, we have all reason to believe and be hopeful about the potential of coming to talk with north korea. tomorrow the secretary of state miketo pompeo, he is set to meet with a high ranking north korean official in new york city. the most senior official to visit the united states in nearly two decades. a massive development. only the latest sign that these historic talks h might still tae place in singapore as scheduled to begin on june the 12th. course last week president trump initially canceled the summit, sending a strongly worded letter to kim jong un after the death toll mike desperate, dictator authorized a series of aggressie statements and failed to defy with some of the basic planning ahead of the talks. as you can ima
journalists, that s not a verifiable destruction of anything really and crucially no nuclear inspectors were invited to that. so how does the u.s. trust north korea? president moon said that kim s problem was he couldn t trust the united states, frankly, not to depose him, if he did get rid of nuclear weapons. so, as you say, there are so many issues and so little time. president trump seems fixed on that june the 12th date. these officials, this delegation appears to have only two days to set up the framework, the agenda you said right at the beginning. many people here in the u.s. and perhaps people like you and me deeply skeptical about kim s real willingness to give up his nuclear weapons. bill neely live for us in seoul. with me in new york is gordon chang, author of nuclear showdown. also a columnist for the daily
june the 12th could go on before he scudled it and said it wasn t going to happen. this is very unusual the way all of this is unfolding. it is unusual and it s unusual also because the stakes are so high. we re dealing with a totalitarian leader. it s a bit different than dealing with other foreign leaders where the president has also done so in an improperization impropevisatio improvisational, unscripted way. everybody has been so focused on this reality show will we do the summ summit, will we not, i feel that it has obscured what the president wants from it, what are the red lines he s drawing and have those changed since he called it off? is he still interested in trying to get north korea to fully begin up their nuclear weapons? how is he interacting with our
happen on june the 12th or around that. but that it does happen in the coming weeks and that we find that the north korean people will benefit from really coming in to the 21st century and understanding that economics are the driving force for most people s support or lack thereof. neil: thanks, mark meadows. thank you, neil. neil: remember that second pow-wow the north korean leader hat with the chinese leader? the president thinks something happened at that event that changed everything. the posture of the north korean leader, bad things about the vice president of the united states, bad things about our intentions. and that something happened there and the chinese are to blame. more after this.
