This, it is the american way to do so. >> neil: it is not a conservative or liberal position for it to me, it is a bait that both parties need to realize but if youre going to make promises and commitments, you need to come up with a way to pay for it. the mayor who is running for governor is just as obligated as those who live in washington to say, here is how im going to pay for the spirit until we hear that on both parties, and in this case, from the mayor stipulating how he is going to do it...

Day in support of our commitments to our allies and partners in the region and in the interests of regional peace and security. so the official word from the u.s. military, situation normal. were not doing anything. no indication that the u.s. is planning to invade north korea. this is about politics post-singapore summit. the u.s. feels the north koreans are not making the commitments to denuclearization. in fact theres no evidence theyre doing it. they are still working on their fuel reactors,...

We can get on a better track. arthel: to follow up that i have time. less than 18 days after the summit with kim jong un there is a new discovery that north korea had no plans to do you make a list of all the things to shake hands with the president and privately to see tim. as the president premature on that sunday? should he have relied on the resources and the fingertips and intellectual intelligence before agreeing to the meeting and is there any way the summit was the right move. i think it...

Underneath it. and any means we had to keep pressure on the north koreans to create that substance, weve kind of whittled away. >> are we still farther along than we have been at any point in the last two administrations? >> no. no, not at all. i mean, weve had the north koreans farther along in terms of actually dismantling some nuclear equipment, coming a bit cleaner with regard to what they have, being more specific with their commitments. no. i mean, weve been in this place or better before....

Right message? >> to have the secretary of state announce a new envoy and then 24 hours later issue what really is a tepid rain check on this trip. the president left the door more than ajar. he said he looked forward to seeing chairman kim, his words, at a future date. president trump said kim jong-un is not keeping his commitments, hes not denuclearizing, hes still looking forward to seeing him. so you have to wonder why that is, if kim jong-un is still violating international law, a cant imag...
