home. president macron is a canny fellow. he knows the way the president s mind works. he will continue throughout the trip to be very respectful and dignified and treat the president with dignity and try and portray himself as a partner, international partner of great stature with the president, to get what he wants. we know the military parade on bastille day stuck in the mind of donald trump. let s talk about president trump and kim jong un. again, it appears on the surface that the bullying has indeed worked. the president is not using the rocket man nickname. the wall street journal reporting he needs full denuclearization before major economic sanctions relief. there is skepticism on the right about the progress and intentions of the north koreans. listen to tom cotton and bob
negatively in the administration, a lot are coming from donald trump. he has a long history of being a leaker about things within his own organization, before that, the trump organization, and now the white house. he is clearly dissatisfied with jeff sessions. we all know it goes back to the fact that recused himself rather than refusing to recuse himself and that still is part of jump s issue. he wants jeff sessions there doing his bidding unequivocally. last night at gridiron dinner, the president set steve bannon is the leaker. not he himself. all right, my panel will stick around. coming up, vladimir putin issued a pretty direct threat to the u.s. about a new nuclear weapon he claims anti-missile defenses cannot detect. unlike kim jong-un, there is no rocket man nickname or threats of fire & fury from trump when it comes to putin. instead the sound of silence. we will look at that next. have you smelled this

course, is really one of the major beneficiaries from this rather dramatic changing situation in kirkuk and really the broader middle east. a diplomatic solution to the north korean missile crisis appears to be off the table. the kim jong-un has no interest in diplomacy until it s able to hit the east coast of the united states with a long range intercontinental ballistic missile. let s bring in cnn s will ripley monitoring the latest live from tokyo. will? reporter: dave, this is a message that had been reiterated to me when i was in pyongyang and now out of pyongyang. the north koreans feel now is not the time for talk with the united states. they listened to the threats from president trump directly including the speech at the united nations general assembly when the u.s. said they could destroy north korea and also coming up with the rocket man
forward is through strong sanctions and pressure on the country and they also said they both agreed that close cooperation was the way forward as well. buzz the one thing that was interesting in the south korean statement that we didn t hear is any mention of a military option and that s been the prime talking points of the south koreans all along. they say dialog, diplomacy is going to save the day, not any sort of military option. they don t want to see another war on the korean peninsula and so they re urging a cooler heads to prevail but the can question is how is pyongyang going to respond, is it going to be with words or is it going to be with action, another test? it s not clear what that rocket man nickname has any impact on kim jong-un. does he like it? as for the military option
