Forgiven him. As a christian, i have to forgive him also. Announcer this is new day weekend with victor black well and christi paul. We start with a violent protest. It is happening in manila as President Trump arrives in the philippines and antitrump slogans and setting American Flags on fire. Air force one landed a few moments ago here and soon President Trump starts the last leg of his summit tour at a summit with asian leaders. He attacked kim jongun and form youre u. S. Intelligence officials and refuses to say definitively whether he believes russia interfered in the 2016 election. A lot has happened in the last few hours so lets get straight to jeff who is live in vietnam. The president has been on script
ive worked with them very stronger. There werent 17 as previously was reported. There were actually four but they were saying there were 17, there were actually four. But as currently led by fine people, i believe very much in our Intelligence Agencies. Reporter so the president talking about Intelligence Agencies. Well, one of the reasons he was doing that yesterday when he was flying across vietnam, he talked to reporters aboard Air Force One and he was talking about political hacks. Talking about the people who led those agencies in the last administration. That prompted the cia to raeleae a statement saying the current director believes in that assess many that russia, in fact, meddled in the election. All of this has prompted a lot of views from the outside. John mccain first and foremost, he weighed in on the comments that the president was talking about a russia. He said this. Lets take a look. He said, Vladimir Putin does not have americas interest at
heart. To believe otherwise is not only naive, but also places our National Security at risk. Of course, this was in response to the president saying that Vladimir Putin is sincere when he believes that russia did not meddle. This is interesting this continued back and forth between senator mccain and the president that its happening in hanoi, vietnam, where john mccain was shot down and a Prisoner Of War for more than five years in the late 60s and early 70s. Of course, President Trump left hanoi without visiting the site of the prison where john mccain was at. As Many American president s have done over the years. It is, of course, veterans day so significant that the president did not visit that. He and john mccain, no love lost. Youll recall during the president ial campaign, mr. Trump even, at one point, said john mccain was, in fact, not an American Hero because heroes arent captured. Before you go, jeff, there was also the tweet that came out from the president about north Korean Leader kim jongun and
very different from the scripted remarks during his time in vietnam. Lets talk about that tweet. Reporter the president has been urged by his advisers and largely followed sued suit by not going after kim jongun mostly for his time in asia but that changed overnight again. Lets take a look at this tweet, of course, on twitter. He says this. Of course, strange words there, but the president asked at the Press Conference if he thinks that could happen to be friends and he said, look, Stranger Things have happened. He believes a good thing for the world for them to be friends, but a long way from rocket man that the president referred to him as just a couple of months ago. But i can tell you before we sign off from here on this hour, i visited that prison today where john mccain was and seeing those images of him and pictures
of him certainly a striking way to commemorate veterans day here in hanoi. Thank you, jeff zeleny. A lot of people say is he really because he is not answering whether he believes it actually happened. Mr. President , why Definitiv Meddle ins our election . How important is it for him to he said im with our Intelligence Agencies but he didnt say i believe russia did this. It really shouldnt be much of a puzzle coming from the president of the United States. Its not much of a debate. Intelligence agencies have confirmed this. Politicians in both parties have agreed to this. Members of the president s administration, including the head of the cia, are unambiguous and very important for the president to put this behind and acknowledge what happened, most importantly, so that we understand and have confidence that the president will be dealing with this kind of intervention in 2018 and 2020. It is important. If he is serious about trying to establish relations with russia on other issues like syria, he needs to begin by acknowledging what happened in the election and stopping with this kind of rhetorical game. Errol, i want to ask you about this tweet to north Korean Leader or about north Korean Leader kim jongun, that jeff just talked about. You know, i almost cant say it
without laughing. I would never call him short and fat, as though he just did essentially. But then go on to say i try to hard to be his friend and maybe someday that will happen. What is the possibility do you think anything like that would ever happen . Oh, i think there there would be a friendship, that there is some sort of connection between north korea and the United States. As we have seen in the case of russia, the president s friendships can actually be somewhat problematic for u. S. Policy. Even if that were to happen, It Wouldnt Unambiguously necessarily be a good thing for the country. The reality he is treating the north Korean Leader as if he was one more republican candidate, as if we were back in 2015 or 2016 that is going to insult him. It doesnt work that way in this case. That is the kind of disconnect i think between the president s rhetoric and the reality on the ground. Errol and julian, stick around with us. We want to talk about in the
next block here after the break about president and what is to come here. The president s admiration of socalled young men will be tested on wednesday. Duterte said if mr. President wants to talk about the drug campaign, you want an answer . Ill give you an answer. Lay off where exactly do we go with this . We are hearing from former boyfriend and one of the alabama in many knee for senate roy moores accusers. What he said she told him. Its like verizon is the oil and google is the balsamic. Its more like the Google Pixel 2 is the unlimited storage. And verizon is the best unlimited plan. I like oil and balsamic. vo get up to 50 off the pixel 2 on googles exclusive wireless partner, verizon. How much money do you think youll need in retirement . Then we found out how many years that money would last them. How long do you think well keep oooooohhh you stopped youre gonna leave me back here at year 9 . How did this happen . It turned out, a lot of people fell short, of even the average length of retirement. We have to think about not when we expect to live to, but when we could live to. Lets plan for income that lasts all our years in retirement. Prudential. Bring your challenges. Were on a mission to show drip coffee drinkers, its time to wake up to keurig. Wakey wakey rise and shine oh my gosh how are you . Well watch this. I pop that in there. Press brew. Thats it. So rich. I love it. Thats why you should be a keurig man fullbodied. Are you sure youre describing the coffee and not me . Philippine president duterte launched a war on drugs that many say has ended the lives of 10,000 people and many are asking the president to comment on that and we will see if he does. The president also plans to we are told address human rights during this meeting. War on drugs, we have discussed, has led to killings and drawn International Com dendemnation. Duterte has bragged about killing people in the drug war and comparing himself to hitler. There is a script. Maybe you remember the conversation to the Washington Post and the New York Times and it revealed this. President trump said to duterte, i want to congratulate you because im hearing of the unbelievable job on the drug
problem. Cnn International Correspondent matt rivers joins us from manila. How about the president strike this balance between the praise we have seen that he has heaped on these leaders during this visit, and the condemnation that many are calling for in relation to this drug war . Reporter yeah. Its going to be walking on very fine line, victor. I think a tricky situation for the president to navigate. In president duterte, he has nothing but praise for the u. S. President but a leader who is incredibly sensitive when people criticize his ongoing crackdown on drugs. The reason that human Rights Groups across the world have really condemned this is really because of the extra judicial killings. He has targeted not only drug dealers, but drug users as well, and has been bloody. Thousands of people have died. Its an ongoing controversial issue in this part of the world but, at the same time, you have a white house official telling
reporter the president has a warm rapport with president Rodrigo Duterte. How forcefully he brings up this Human Rights Allegations the violations of Human Rights Allegations is the question. If he brings it up what will he say . People are worried about if the president Isnt Forceful in condemnation of what president duterte is doing with this ongoing drug war he, in essence, gives him a pass to continue to do what he is doing. Duterte said he is going to keep doing what he is doing no matter what everybody else says. He had strong words last year for president obama who criticized the war on drugs. Interesting to see this the last leg of the frpresident s trip he and certainly the most watched meeting between President Trump and president duterte and how far is the president willing to go in his criticism. Matt, thank you, there in
manila. Something else from the dictator from president duterte. He has praised President Trump saying that the two are alike because they both curse for the slightest reason. A quote there. Remember, his relationship with president obama, that was a bit strained, to say the least, toward the ends of the obama administration. In fact, duterte called him an s. O. B. And told him to go to hell. Where do we go forward with this . Cnn political commentator errol louis is back with us, Jls Julian Zele julian zeleny. Thank you both for sticking with us here. I want to listen together to something that president duterte said late last year when he was talking about President Trump and World Leaders really as they were talking they were talking about the drug war that he has imposed and the 6,000 to 10,000 people have decide last
june since he came into power and he is none too happy people are weighing on it. Listen to what he said. You are interfering in our affairs. [ speaking in Foreign Language ] then you starting to orchestrate what things should be done and not happen in my country. You [ bleep ] i should point out on Wednesday Duterte told reporters regarding President Trump and his drug campaign. You want to ask a question . Ill give you an answer. Lay off that is not your business. That is my business. I take care of my country and ill nurture my country to health. President trump, julian, cant not bring this up, cant he . No. I think its very important because if he doesnt, it is true he will give some legitimacy to the policies of the country. President trump is bringing youth in that respect and if he doesnt say anything, its as if the United StatesDoesnt Notice or doesnt care about these pretty brutal activities that are taking place. So i think its incumbent on the president to say something, even if he understands the kind of response he is going to get. Regardless of what that response is, if this point of contention deteriorates the relationship that they seem to have somewhat of a friendly relationship as we noticed yesterday as they met for the first time facetoface, errol. What is the consequence of that, if they dont have a relationship . Well, for those who are admitted to human rights and democracy, not having a great relationship with the murderous thug is probably not the worst
thing in the world. One of the things ill be listening to hear is whether or not the president mentions de lima who is a senator critical of Detar Duterte who is held fo months on end in a brutal pretrial contention for months on end, with people being denied visits, including her own lawyers and members of the parliame parliament. Traditionally an american president would take steps to have Political Prisoners at least mentioned, if not given some kind of clemency or due process. We will see if the president is going to adhere to even that minimal standard or just sort of, you know, talk about his friendship with someone who, under the guise of calling it a war on drugs, we should be very clear about this. He is launching just a brutal, Raw Political Crackdown that has nothing to do with actual Addiction Treatment or improving
the status of this country. Julian, i just have one quick question. What would make it a success for the president to leave the philippines . What would make it a success . I think a success would be conveying this message, would be conveying that the United States doesnt tolerate these kinds of abuses, yet, opening the door to negotiation and conversation, not necessarily friendship. I think that is what youre looking for with diplomacy. Errol louis and julian zeleny, we appreciate your perspectives. Thank you. thank ou. Can we take that shot of the arrivals live . Take it full here . We are awaiting President Trump arriving here. We have seen several World Leaders pull up here for the welcome ceremony in manila at the start of this summit. There will be an official welcome and we hope to hear from President Trump this morning. If that happens, we will bring this to you. Again, live pictures from man a

The president will meet with the philippines president to discuss human rights, just one of many topics. As the president arrived, protests clashing with police and yelling antitruch slogans and setting the American Flag on fire. Todays meetings could be
overshadowed by the president s latest comments. He not only attacked kim jongun but also former u. S. Intelligence officials and refused to definitively say whether he believes russia interferes in the 2016 election you are looking live at manila. President trump will arrive at any moment and we will take this live again when we see the president. Lets start this discussion.
