Washington when it comes to major issues of the day. >> one of the major issues obviously north korea, the president says that hes still planning to meet with kim jong-un next month despite north korea threatening to cancel the meeting. but there is this disconnect we heard just over the last couple of days between john bolton today and the president about what north korea must do. take a listen. >> i think thats what denuclearization means, and we have very much in mind the libya model from 200...
