u.s. and the north korean summit come to fruition and will now push to establish a landmark treaty. we turn to our headliner, house majority leader steve scalise who happens to be good friends with mike pompeo. goodmorning, congressman. good morning. sandra: he s been the big mind behind the meeting in the first place, right congressman? yeah, mike pompeo is doing a great job as secretary of state. we were on the house energy commerce committee and i m proud of the work he s doing in representing our country and the president and got the release of the three hostages in the meeting with kim jong-un and helping negotiate a denuclearization of the korean peninsula which is historic. the president embarking on this where no president has done it before because we don t want
this historic moment where the president does seem to have laid the ground work for a deal for peace. bill: yeah. i think it s perfectly reasonable for all of us to hope that we have witnessed the beginning pross that will lead to the permanent verifiable elimination of a nuclear weapons capability in north korea. at the same time, i think it s perfectly reasonable for us to all be skeptical. as newt just said in that clip, they have a history of lying a deceit. so the key is, what do they really do in the next step? secretary pompeo will be sitting down and fleshing out this agreement in terms of next concrete steps on a timeline. i think that will be the key thing that tells us if this is real or if this is atmospherics. sandra: there s the
nations, they need to do something about that. the president in response to my tion sa it did come up in their meetings. listen here. it was discussed. it was discussed relatively briefly compared to denuclearization. obviously that s where we started and where we ended. they will be doing things. i think he wants to do things. one thing that really is tangible in that communique that both leaders signed yesterday, an agreement by north korea to recover and repatriate the remains of americans that are missing in action in north korea. there s some 5,300 americans who fought and bieved to have died in the korean war whosemains are still believes to be in north korea. there could be more meetings in the future as well. president trump said he would like to travel to pyongyang to meet with kim jong-un and one day to extend an invitation for kim jong-un toravelo washington and meet him at the
pressure on and as long as president trump keeps the pressure up. i do think he realizes for the survival of his country he has to comply. having said that we have to have robust inspections and verify and i don t trust if he can get away with sometime something he will and by congress making sure there are inspections and there are ways toerify what s being said and promise this can go forward. again, at any given time the president has to be ready to leave the table. last night was a very positive start and i don t think we should look to all the details right now because it s right now so in the formula stage. again, i give the president tremendous credit for what s occurred. sandra: i want to ask you about devin nunes
campaign. more coming up here. sandra: and a health scare for the president s top economic adviser. we ll update you on larry kudlow s condition after he suffers a heart attack. bill: pulling for you. and president trump defending his imposed tariffs on allies. rnc chairwoman coming up live. the picture with angela merkel where i m sitting there like this, that picture is we re waiting for the document because i wanted to see the final dont as changed by the changes i requested. it was friendly. i know it didn t look friendly. you re turning onto the street when you barely clip a passing car. minor accident-no big deal, right? wrong. your insurance company is gonna raise your rate after the other car got a scratch so small you coulda fixed it with a pen. maybe you should te that pen and use it
