there s another big story that s taking place for the israelis that have actually targeted about 30 different sites around syria, including hezbollah itself. they took a beating tonight by the israelis presumably with a green light from the president so i think we are seeing things change much faster than anyone had imagined. last question, when you also take a step back, one of the achievements from this organization early on was decimating isis. what is the tone that has been set by this president, there are critics out there who say, he is unpredictable and that is a bad thing. inside the white house they say that unpredictability has put isis and others on the run. i think he was very predictable with isis. he said he was going to go out and destroy them and that s exactly what he has done. i think the unpredictability that we have seen is specifically with the north koreans, that he wasn t
reporters new information at about 2:00 a.m. eastern, the way this will play out is that vice president mike pence may be coming in his own helicopter and arriving there first. then, we will see the president arriving. you see the live picture right there, those two fire trucks with the american flag. they will arrive with first lady melania trump. then after that, we would expect that we would see the first plane carrying michael pao and the secretary of state followed by a plan, playing with more medical. period after being greeted by the president, vice president, first lady and other dignitaries, there may be some of those relatives getting information. on the ground reporters are saying that there appears to be some relatives there and they will then leave and obviously want to spend time with her family, get some sleep and get
upon us. but here are the hostages that you ve been asking for for so long. the north koreans have to save face as well. but the thing that surprised me most about kim was his total willingness to just negotiate at the table, but also just to show some willingness and care frankly for his own people. that s not something that family is while known for four. the other thing, the difference in age is more than how old kim jong un is. i think he is the youngest world leader on the world stage. he does have a nuclear arsenal, but on a different level, he and the president do seem to be on the same wavelength. they both tossed some really bombastic rhetoric at each other but they have shown some real practicality.
country, it s great to see the step taken as well as perhaps the summit that will be taking place in singapore early, later in the month, but there still a long way to go. the other thing that i would also note is the president has done a great job in releasing these three americans. you also have to think about the fact that isis may still have some americans in its power right now. you have the turkish president who is holding americans and other westerners against their will, and there are other dictators around the country and i hope they are watching in the united states uses this as leverage to release them as well. some critics will say tonight, wait a second, they will get a different message which is as they take americans as hostage around the world, they will be able to get the president himself or at least his representatives to the negotiating table. what do you say to that? typically when terror groups take americans or foreigners hostages, they are looking for
leaders. and this was not a guaranteed release. pompeo flashed the crossed fingers sign to a number of reporters as he was making his way through the hotel. this was shortly before the announcement came down from the north, down like korean officials that kim jong un had decided to grant amnesty to the three americans. now, within just an hour of being released from north korean custody, because americans were in the air and on their way out of north korea. now the countdown is on. here is a live look at joint base andrews were president trump, the first lady, vice president pence and mrs. pence are all expected to welcome the americans home. but what was there joining like across the world tonight? first the americans and secretary pompeo are flying from pyangyoung, north korea, to the andrews air force base. now they are scheduled to arrive just before 3:00 a.m. local time at joint base andrews here in
