Taxiing behind me. but what is going to happen, im told the president and likely the vice president and perhaps the secretary of state as well, but certainly the president first and foremost will be boarding that plane and then will be meeting at least briefly with these freed americans, and then well all be exiting the plane together. and that will be happening again against the backdrop of this giant american flag thats rippling in the breeze here on this early morning just outside washington....

His wife. approach that plane. just again, give us some context of the moment that were looking at. theyre going to get on the plane, do we know anything more after they go up the steps as to what the conversation will look like and how long it will last? >> we do not expect a long conversation. of course. talk about the ordeal and the long flight of course that the three freed americans have had. the president and first lady ascended the stairs as you can see. the vice president and pence and s...

This plane here. this is something extraordinary we havent seen anything like it a u.s. president greeting the freed americans here. again its one step in this what could be historic diplomacy. certainly an early step. >> its interesting in the past like when trump went to las vegas after the mass shooting and met with the first responders. that video was turned into a campaign video. which they put on social media. something similar in texas. during the hurricanes. how soon will it be before we...

June. and as i turn here, we can still see the plane that is certainly making a long journey here. so well be seeing another plane here shortly, john and isha. >> and back for our viewers here in the united states and around the world, if you where just joining us, if you are just tuning in, what we are watching is a scene plain play out at joint base andrews. the plane you see touching down and taxiing at the moment, that is the plane of secretary of state mike pompeo that has arrived back from...

Positive development. obviously its great for these men and for their loved ones. but we do need to separate this good will gesture, which is essentially what it is from the north korean perspective, you know, from the high stakes diplomacy that is at work here. i do think we have to celebrate this moment, but also, you know, once we can welcome these gentlemen back to the united states, the focus goes right back to the really tough security and denuclearization issues that were facing. >> and, ...

Joint base andrews in maryland. that aircraft -- aboard that aircraft, rather, are three americans recently freed by north korea. a remarkable moment as they touch done on u.s. soil. >> they were released after the u.s. president donald trump officially requested that of the north korean leader kim jong-un who granted them amnesty. and then donald trump personally thanked north korean leader kim jong-un for the release of these three americans who have been detained there in north korea for over...

And the other plane carrying the freed americans is about 15 minutes or so behind the secretarys plane. its a medical plane in some respects, as we look here over to the side, all eyes are keeping an eye on the sky here to see if a plane will be landing. but it will be coming at some point soon. but secretary pompeo is the key player here in this potential historic summit with kim jong-un. and we are watching secretary pompeo, as i turn away from the camera here, get off the bus here. he looks n...

Secretary of state. he was with the cia when he went. he goes on the second trip, manages to get a 90-minute chat with kim jong-un. we understand that they hammered out more details. there you have it. >> the secretary of state, it looks like him. >> that is indeed mike pompeo descending the steps there at joint base andrews. a lot of energy for 2:34 in the morning after all the traveling he has done. he has been halfway around the world. but it is a good moment because he is home with three ame...

Sign that history will be made in terms of a summit with the president and the north korean leader. but that does not guarantee an outcome. there are still -- were at the very beginning of this process. and its certainly striking when you take into account what happened this week. the president scrapping one nuclear plan that he inherited in favor of trying to create one on his own with north korea. but so many challenges here. as i look beyond the distance here, i can see secretary pompeo going...
