books. the president saw the cameras outside, decided to take a walk and really interesting stuff in reaction to the i.g. report. but north korea, we ll all be talking about today. he said, i solved the north korea nuclear problem. we didn t give up anything. north korea gave us a lot, and he s responded to one reporter saying i don t want to see nuclear weapons destroy you and your family. that s why i am doing what i m doing, and i m kim jong-un. the president said we got along well, and we have good chemistry. bill: you want an unconventional president? you ve got it. you want an unconventional white house, america has got it, and there s no way of stopping this. this is going to be the interesting relationship that the president has with the media every day, be it on twitter and now on the live cameras earlier today. i really want to stress this point, sandra, i get the sense coming off the news on the economy, the news on north
aimed at reporters. and i appreciate that and that s why give the president the benefit of the doubt on this. no one else has gotten anything out of the north koreans. let s not have any illusions here. if kim is able to use this meeting to get rid of the chinese pressure and the sanctions, ease his financial situation, he is going to win this, and we have to be very careful about that. with john bolton and mike pompeo to the right it gives me great confidence as well as the president. sandra: the president said he had a very positive meeting with the head of china so we ll see where that goes. bill you re in long island listening in, a lot of news there on that this morning. bill: it sure was. i think the thing that s important to add are his comments about the open line of communications. that s really significant now. you have to start somewhere in order to prove this relationship and get what you want, ultimately. we re watching this and the golfers moving behind us. tiger wo
on any normal news day, that might be the headline. but given what happened yesterday with the release of the i.g. report and the extraordinary and wide-ranging interview both by our colleague, steve ducy, and afterwards on the driveway leading into the west wing. i want to flag a couple of things for people unable to watch it all. you will hear a lot about what the president has to say about jim comey and the bias. that will be the headline from that wide-ranging talk, sandra. sandra: yeah, on the i.g. report, the president saying the i.g. blew it, said it totally exonerates me, there was no collusion, no obstruction. and if you read the report, you will see that. kevin cooke, a lovely morning outside the white house. thank you. so, bill, as you mentioned, that s one for the history
simply enforcing them. sandra: mark. yes, that s a really bad line of attack on her part and on jeff sessions part. one of the problems trump said this morning on the north lawn, i hate this, and i take him at his word that he hates it. you know who else hates it is his evangelical christian base. fravrpg lin graham called it disgraceful. the southern baptist group came out with it s inconsistent with the gospel of christ. this is a base that s stuck with him through stormy daniels, access hollywood and everyone else, they re speaking out about this treatment of children and to come out and say this is consistent with scripture as the defense is really, really bad idea. i think that he needs to be very careful because this is what scripture says is love your neighbor and welcome the stranger. that s what his base thinks. so i don t think they re going to break with him over it, but when matt was in the white house in the political office, he was coming down saying my phone is
korea, the inspector general s report yesterday afternoon, he believes there s a window back and has greater liberty now to speak to reporters than he has i would argue going back 18 months. stay tuned for more on that. sandra is live in new york. i m live at the u.s. open. it s okay, sandra, it s day 2. i d love to have you be here and have you out here. we ll continue our coverage live from shinnecock in hampton. 9:30 on the east coast.
