All for show. the north koreans say thats not the case. this is a good faith gesture that they are willing to work with the united states and its allies to give up the nuclear weapons ahead of these crucial planned talks in singapore next month between president trump and kim jong-un. there is some scepticism even on the ground here about whether this summit can go forward given the rhetoric out of the washington. of course, gadhafi and libya gave up his nuclear weapons and was dead just a few y...

The british participating in that. thats why it was so perilous for john bolton to jenninmentio libya model, hes talking about the 2003 model about denuclearization, but kim hears the 2011 model where gadhafi was was overthrown. >> do you envision john bolton trying to push this again? i mean is this going to end up with this escalating rhetoric between these two leaders? >> john bolton is hawkish on this issue, and hes had some real concerns about this meeting in the first place, he was one of ...

Ideology. are the mixed messages a problem or is it a winning strategy? the unpredictability of president trump as it relates to north korea, many have said, ian brehmer who goes after the president on 90% of his foreign policy initiatives has said this is a good example of its so crazy it just might work? >> i dont think its a strategy, i think its a spasm. i think he pops off and i think that there is no follow through. the point you were making where someone asked him about the libya model, h...

>> on both accounts. lets talk about north korea first. he agreed to take the summit quickly on the assurances from south korea that he was ready to denuclearize, whatever that means. but no one ever believed that kim jong-un would give up his entire arsenal, certainly not after john bolton talked about the libyan model, which is gadhafi giving up his weapons and getting killed a number of years later without that nuclear deterrent. so should the president be cautious about leaping into this sum...

Does he go there and come back empty handed or with something thats not a great deal? he wants to go there and he wants a full win. and its going to be very hard to see now how he does that. >> dana, why did bolton -- im no pal of boltons, but why did this neo con guy -- i guess he is hawk. why did he say were looking for libya model. libyas president gadhafi ended up being physically mutilate affidavit he was killed after they found him in a pipeline somewhere. >> right. >> youre telling the ...

Jong-un could get protection. >> protection. right. that was interesting. >> that was a heck of a word when you are dealing with a dictator. >> im not sure thats what he meant. it would be great to get him out in front of the press. there were two big hurdles that existed. number one is defining de-nuclearization. the white house seems unilateral de-nuclearization. president trump said that at a press conference. the other one is sequencing. who goes first? we are already seeing problems on the ...

Libya model, when john bolton talks about the libya model, what hes actually talking about is the fact in 2003, gadhafi agreed to give up his weapons of mass destruction so trump is basically confused on a very fundamental matter which makes you wonder, like, does he understand anything else thats going on? the other conclusion, by the way, i take away from this, is that donald trump prefers alfred nobel to john bolton because essentially the message from north korea, i believe that they sent ju...

Like -- if the north koreans are looking around the world at other examples of countries giving up their nuclear weapons, its not a pretty story, right? iraq gave up its nuclear and all its weapons of mass destruction and what happened to saddam hussein? right? libya, gadhafi got a little bit scared about what happened in iraq. he decided to enter into a deal with the west, gave up his weapons. not much longer, he was overthrown. so i think what trump in his n convoluted way is trying to say he ...

Misunderstanding or maybe evenic ignorance of the libya model. model was, he suggested that kim jong-un could get protection. >> protection. right. that was interesting. >> that was a heck of a word when you are dealing with a dictator. >> im not sure thats what he meant. it would be great to get him out in front of the press. there were two big hurdles that existed. number one is defining de-nuclearization. the white house seems unilateral de-nuclearization. president trump said that at a press...

I need to move on. i have many more -- couple more topics i want to talk to you guys about. one is north korea because trump is still meeting on planning with kim jong-un next month. next month. and despite that north koreas recent threat to pull out. i want to get your take on the president contradicting his national security adviser john bolton who said libya could serve as a model for denuclearization. here it is. >> the model, if you look at that model with gadhafi, that was a total decimati...
