growing the strength of a dictator. brian: there is no doubt about it can t say legit mizeed dictator when the family has been in power since 1953. he is the north korean leader. i do understand why otto warmbier s parents feel and have relatives in death camps which i think when we take the cover off that country it s going to be like the killing fields we saw in cam body i can t. that s how bad it is. the president is looking at reality. not how he want it but how he has to deal with it. there is a counter side to it. if i m running against him i might bring it up. i might also do what andrew wang did. say i like the fact no one is shooting each other and we have got to do something different. so bernie sanders actually, for the most part. that was somewhat critical for saying i am for talking over shooting. mike morell said listen, there is no military option. griff: right. brian: this is the only option. griff: speaking of transitions. i have got to do another transition. i covered
and free speech freedom of speech. brian: i think he just did a transition. very good job. i love it. ainsley: the democrats, they were trying to be critical of the president s meeting, finding anything they could to say negatively about him. biden s campaign spokesman andrew bates said coddling of dictators at the expense of american national security. brian: harris said this is not a photo op. warren tweeted squandering american influence on photo op.s. bernie sanders was not as critical. but, the democrats were asked during the debate about meeting with kim jong un, too. let s listen. i don t want it simply it be a photo opportunity. this is a ruthless dictator. the president will meet with him. that s fine. then we have no clear path and nothing comes out of it. we have added legitimacy to kim jong un. it seems like it s all for show. he is raising the profile.
