Happy easter to those of you celebrating. We have a lot of politics to get to. But first, the growing tension between the United States and north korea. North korea last night launched a Ballistic Missile from the Submarine Base in sinpo, but the missile exploded minutes after launch. This happened as mike pence landed in south korea for talks on how to counter the growing Nuclear Ambitions and he spoke to american troops at a breakfast there this morning. Im joined by Senior National security analyst juan duarte, the failure, the New York Times this morning leans hard into the idea that the failure wasnt necessarily a north korean failure, but maybe sabotage and possibly sabotage from the United States. What can you say . This is a Missile Program thats been replete with failures. And the challenge is we dont know yet. It could be sabotage. It could be poor engineering or bad luck. Its the nature of the Missile Programs but its clear that
many trump voters though are forgiving. At lea
said well, we now understand if we want out, we ve got to go over land, and they re selling off of their possessions to get enough money to survive as refugees. wow. today the pentagon said that a taliban security failure may have led to yesterday s bombings. if that ends up being true, it certainly points to just the ad hoc nature of this bizarre alliance right now between u.s. forces and the taliban. two said which have been fighting each other for 20 years. it s not as if the taliban has well orchestrated check points. i think it s important to point out it s a very ad hoc i mean, sometimes just a bunch of people whipping people in a crowd. yeah. okay. the road supporting approaching the airport, yes the taliban have tried to install check
colleague ken delaney and that appears in the mueller report, or is cited in the mueller report, i should say, was all based off public documents. the information contained in there would have been no different than anybody doing appropriate vetting for the trump campaign, so how much did the trump campaign style and kind of a loose, ad hoc nature that they prided themselves on, how much did that lead to the graphic you showed of all of the people charged. i think that s something history will take a hard look at. imagine that. more foreign influence in the previous administration. tom winter and joyce vance, thank you for joining us today. when we return, house republican leader kevin mccarthy looks to blow up the committee investigating the capitol riot by naming members who voted to overturn joe biden s election victory. that s next. that s next. millions of vulnerable americans struggle to get reliable transportation to their medical appointments. that s why i started medhaul.
with me in studio, perry bacon, our cnn analyst retired rear admiral john kirby. admiral, let me start with you. you ve been about this business. set the expectations in the sense that, look, everybody s skepticism is real. everybody s skepticism is deserved. history tells us north korea s history is it will stall, it will lie, it will cheat. how does secretary pompeo push but not push too far? the expectations i think we need to keep realistic for this meeting. it s possible there could be some breakthroughs. i rather doubt that. i think that the north has been stalling long enough that pompeo felt like he had to go. he was supposed to meet with the indians with mattis tomorrow. that tells you there s a little bit of ad hoc nature to these discussions. the north koreans know that under pompeo, there s not a lot of staffing to support these talks. that suits them just fine. so he has to go try to bring
