the kim and i. a fox news alert. the president of the united states has accepted the invitation to meet north korea s dictator kim jong un. the south koreans personally hand delivered the invitation to the white house yesterday afternoon. and that s one of the reasons why the president didn t come out and make the announcement. he had the south koreans. so farther time and date have not been released. nor has the location. rachel: but he did say it s going to be within the next couple months. pete: before may. rachel: north korea has agreed to not do any testing missiles. and we are not letting up on our sanctions. pete: the president yesterday tweeting about this development saying. this. he said kim jong un talked about denuclearization. that s a big one, with the south korean representative just not just a freeze. also no missile testing as you said, rachel, by north korea during this period of time. great progress being made but sanction also remain until an agreement is
involved in the narrative? pete: general, you talk about radical inclusion, what the post 9/11 world should have taught us about leadership. what s the 9/11 hook to this. 9/11 is just a moment in time when everybody kind of coalesces around. think about what s happened since then. the added complexity in international relations. you know, with the reemergence of russia, the rise of china. kim jong un in north korea. the iranian issue. and then have you got technology which kind of levels the playing field, right? we used to have huge advantages in technology. not so much anymore. the narrative that he is talking about brings with it intense scrutiny on leaders. so the reason we wrote the book is it felt like to both of us that leadership is just harder since 9/11. steve: one of the things i remember before the time in america as well we all do, is we all seemed to be on the same page. the nation was not as polarized right then. it seemed as if we were all working for the greater good
our allies are now expressing concerns about america s credibility and reliability. and by the way, picking fights with kim jong un just puts a smile on his face. rachel: what do you say to that? to me personally it brings me back to the 1980s and the days of the cold war and jane kirkpatrick s famous phrase the san francisco democrats, a reference to the 1984 democratic convention always blame america first. i think it s extraordinary to hear a former secretary of state talk about the united states engaging in provocations during a year of 2017 when the north koreans tested over 1 dozen long-range missiles. fired missiles over japan. threatened u.s. allies. test you had nuclear devices and engaged in an extraordinary campaign of provocation that this administration and our allies and partners had no choice but to respond to. and president trump, in response to those provocations, rally would an
countries. what they have been getting away is a tragedy. and it can t be aloud. if anything happens to guam, there is going to be big, big trouble in north korea. if he does anything with respect to guam, or any place else that s an american territory or an american ally, he will truly regret it. and he will regret it fast. rocket man is on a suicide mission for himself and for his regime. pete: rachel, there was a lot of response. rachel: the diplomats, technocrats. let s look what their response was to north korea. steve: you mean their freakout. tweets like this circumstantial poor gasoline on that blaze. president trump is goad be kim jong un to test a nuclear missile. i do worry about what his boiling point might be in
apology. pete: i would like to hear that. rachel: this is more surprising than the north korea talk to me. pete: all very surprising. the media struggling with the breaking news that president trump will meet with kim jong un. why has no sitting american president ever met with a leader from north korea? should i take that to mean that this might be a particularly risky or even an unwise move? pete: thank you, rachel. will they ever give the president the credit he deserves? we will ask anthony scaramucci joins us right now as you can see life in the fast lane life in the fast lane everything all the time life in the fast lane breathe freely fast with vicks sinex. my congestion s gone.
