we ve seen the new york times and washington post writing about this week.she s taped an interview with anderson cooper. it s not going away. i don t exactly know how it will unfold but it s having staying power. i will add, president trump s approval rating has been ticking up in recent weeks even as the story has been coming out. it s another issue his base doesn t seem to care a lot about. they seem to be focused on other things. but there are serious issues here.if there was no relationship, why were their harsh payments? clearly she wants to get out from the nondisclosure agreement because she sees a big payday. people pay people to not talk about things all the time. it s no big deal and there s no evidence that there s any campaign funds used for this. back up a second. here s the problem with the democratic approach to president trump, this guy has been accused of everything under the sun. in a weird way, he is right
do have a right to make the case if we feel this is endangering, immigrant communities will not talk to law enforcement. that will create danger and we will do that. similarly, nonprofits that detain people, have a right to check on them and making sure they are not in dangerous environments. you have local law enforcement agencies accepting federal grants to help enforce these laws or to house illegals that are detained. then they are not doing it. that s a real problem. that s not just a 10th amendment thing. what about the idea that the mayor is saying to illegal immigrants in our city, watch it. the feds are coming for you. the conflict is escalating on both sides and continues right as the president is about to head to california for the first time since he was elected. i m interested to see what he says when he goes there. he s expected to visit
you know the language, who know the history who know our military needs.so i am very concerned that the president may be taken advantage of here. i want to see the president succeed. it is important for the defense of the united states. it is important for the security of the entire world. but i m worried about going into these negotiations without a strategy and without a strong state department to back him up. senator lindsey graham who has found himself on the opposite end of the table of president trump many times in terms of opinion, issued a warning to kim jong-un saying if you try to play president trump, that will be the end of you and the end of your regime. senator graham doesn t seem to have any concerns that the president will get played here. why do you? one of the things we have to remember is that the kim jong-un family for generations
connell: i m connell mcshane and this is the fox report. the trump administration says they don t plan to issue any more conditions before potentially historic meeting between president trump and kim jong un aside from the north s promise to cease nuclear tests and to not publicly chris ties u.scriticizeu.s. and south korey exercises. president trump called out previous administrations for failing to make progress against the threat from north korea. you know they re saying obama could have done that. trust me, he couldn t have done that. he wouldn t have done that. he would not have done it. and by the way, neither would bush and neither would clinton and they had their shot and all they did was nothing. connell: jillian turner has more now on what would be an unprecedented sit-down. reporter: after sendin spende
the trump administration wasn t tapped into the idea. our rhetoric is forcing him to the bargaining table and he s now ready to make a deal. that s not what happened. what happened was very traumatic. i think you were there. the president sticks his head into the briefing room, a big announcement is coming. it s playing to the idea that president trump wants the eyes of the world on him. he will do something hopefully that his predecessors failed to do and he will be able to say, i did it. john: jason was talking about how we got here. tim scott of south carolina things president plated pitch perfect all along. is what we saw in january and we re seeing the manifestation of it.- - have you deal with the north korean bully? our president is the right person at the right time in the right place. john: all of this talk of little rocket man and firing. and all that. it sounds like it was a strategy born of hubris and it worked. both the pressure campaign
