Trump or kim jong on . Were about to find out. They were making this the centerpiece other than tax the legacy. The legacy for 2018. His Nobel Peace Prize hes accepted it. You cant predict the president but the assumption would be a traditional response would be then walk away. Anything other than that, would that surprise you in. They have no now go through the south koreans and their own you would assume we have to steal our spine here . You would assume that. Find out who wants this summit more. Exactly. All right. You better get out of here. Thanks very much. Lets turn to the politics of impeachment. Believe it or not its become a hot topic with leaders in the Republican Party. Its not for what you think. Whether youre talk about elected leaders, party leaders, even President Trumps lawyers, they are warning that nancy pelosi is readying her caucus for a coup postnovember. If she wants to obstruct everything and impeach the president , i dont think america wants to see that. Her wh
i m concerned. i frankly think we re losing credibility internationally. the more times the more ways that our president conducts something like diplomacy on twitter in a way that seems unrelated to the actual reality on the ground, i think it undermines our credibility. his statement at the rally in kansas city that iran is now a totally different country is just obviously untrue. senator, noah rothman from commentary magazine. turning briefly to domestic politics. you recently criticized the left flank of the democratic party saying the democrats are running a relentless race to the left and that s a losing proposition they need to abandon, quite, wild eye proposals. specifically what proposals constitutes this? the one i was talking about there if i remember that interview correctly was folks who are my friends and colleagues who think we should be reversing president trump s inhumane and unsuccessful
of north korea where he threatened and threatened and threatened some sort of aggressive all-out nuclear war on twitter and increasely abusive of kim jong-un, did a 180 degree turn and did a handshake photo op in singapore. my concern is he ll do the same, that he has now very briefly tweeted one all caps threat at president rouhani of the iranian islamic republic and will declare himself capable of concocting some better deal. the iran nuclear agreement which took years to put together and relied upon our european allies and china and russia isn t something you can replace with a few tweets and photo op. when you see a tweet like that one from the president threatening iran in all caps, what s your reaction to it? i shake my head.
[ cheers and applause ]. and iran is not the same country anymore. that i can say. and we ll see what happens. but we re ready to make a real deal, not the deal that was done by the previous administration, which was a disaster. this was president trump speaking to a veterans group at the vfw in kansas city. he seems open to cutting a deal with iran days after the all-cap twitter threat to the regime. joining us now democratic senator chris coons of delaware. senator, good morning. it s always good to see you. the argument seems to be at this point this morning from the white house that the president was sort of softening the ground with the all-caps tweet to set up a negotiation or a deal. you convinced by that argument? willie, i m not convinced. this seems to be the same play book the president followed over several months with kim jong-un
amounts of money and effort and lord knows how many lives in prison and work camps to buy this insurance policy for that regime, and it s a pretty good insurance policy. worked so far. makes them relevant. gives them national identity. part of their national identity is being a nuclear capable country. and let s face it, the world treats a nuclear power differently from the way it treats anybody else. is there any move for the president other than walking away for now to make him if he does anything to look like he s not willing to walk away right now, is he already giving kim jong-un a win? once we verify that this is accurate? that s the scary question, is what s the fall back. are we back to hey, dotard, hey, bad boy, let s compare buttons, joke about nuclear war on twitter. like we don t know what the alternative is. i know what john bolton would want the president to say.
