yesterday is, frankly, weak. the piece of paper is, frankly, weak. ari fleischer said it feels like the agreede 90s all over ain. what i the take in responding specifically among republicans about what was or was not accomplished? republicans are being quiet. you saw lindsey graham who s been very loud about north korea and suggested the use of military action there pretty recently, you know, saying essentially this is a good start. there s note to say than that since not much happened other than the meeting it says. the idea of bringing u.s. troops back, i think, from south korea caught the pentagon and congress flat footed. it s just an idea, but i think that was surprising to a lot of people. i think they re going to wait and see what s going to happen here. you re not going to see a lot of criticism at the moment from his own party, from president trump. he s really in the driver s seat on this. yeah. we re going to talk a bit about what happened in the primaries
