Denuclearization. wait a second. thats flat out false. theyre not going to denuclearize, kim jong-un saw what happened to dictators like gadhafi or saddam hussein. hes not agreed to anything like that right now. >> so things are in conflict, right? you have presidents tweet, what sarah sanders saying, and the "the wall street journal" reporting writing this, when the president says he will not make the mistakes of the past, that means u.s. will not be making substantial concessions such as lifti...

Coming up. the nuclear freeze decision was a good decision and green light from the north koreans. >> healthy skepticism about the intentions. paula hancocks, thank you. >> joining us is hugo. the editorial director of "the washington examiner." a couple of gop leaders who were skeptical of the intentions and developments of the north korean to get to denuclearization. lets listen. >> he views nuclear weapons as the ticket to dying as an old man in his bed. he saw what happened with gadhafi. gad...

One of the reasons the united states succeeded was there was a thread that ran from truman all the way through bush 41 and there was a consistency in the deals that we made and the policies that we pursued between republican and democratic administrations alike. but as we talk about the iran deal and the north korean deal, lets just look whats happened over the past decade. we struck a deal with gadhafi to get his wmds. we got him to agree to discontinue the program and disarm the program and we...

Thats enough. you dont need any more nuclear tests -- >> its not like were doing any more testing because of the goodwill. its more that were done -- >> since it was a unilateral -- these can cancel next week or next month, or after meeting trump, we changed our minds, who will hold their feet to the fire? nobody. >> bobby, you think kim jong-un is feeling squeezed at all? or you -- >> i dont think theres many reasons to believe that. my friends in south korea dont see much sign of that. >> the ...

He saw what happened with gadhafi. gadhafis a dead man now because he gave up his nuclear weapons. and so to think that somebody is going to go in and charm him out of that is not realistic. is there some progress that could be made? i hope so. thats a big hurdle. >> obviously the senator was talking about kim jong-un and his perspective. do you agree with him? is gadhafi a dead man because he gave up nuclear weapons and thats why kim jong-un will never do it? >> well, you know, i wouldnt want t...

The president praising the progress and looking forward to his meeting with the dictator and lindsey graham is credited the presidents hard line for the breakthrough. >> i dont want a war but i will stop you from building an icbm with a nuclear weapon on top to hit the american homeland. i think he has got north koreas attention. he convinced china hes serious and got them to the table. nobody else was able to do it. >> sandra: lets bring in washington post columnist marc thiessen is here. hes g...

>> and, karen, one last thing. when george w. bush scored his big win in libya and got gadhafi to turn over his weapons, it was secret. it took two or three years to get the weapons out and destroyed. have you heard anything about a plan to actually verify denuclearization for kim jong-un to promise it? >> they didnt even have a plan for how to set up this meeting. it was something donald trump decided spur of the moment. it came as a great surprise to his own team. the most likely answer to thi...

Do it, even if he did agree to doing it, when that gives up the only leverage he has in the world is the fact that he says he has a nuclear program? it gives him the power and prestige youre talking about. what could president trump or anyone in the american government possibly say to him or provide or offer him that would convince him to get rid of his one major holding, which is nuclear weapons? >> and this is going to be the major problem here in these negotiations. kim jong-un knows what hap...

It. >> richard, can we talk about that for a second? you and i both know if youre a tyrant and running north korea and the united states is demanding that you give up your wmds, the united states is demanding you give up your nuclear program, all you have to do is look at what happened to gadhafi in libya. he gave up his wmds. i remember you and me saying it in realtime. you kill a man that does what you tell him to do, give up his wmd program which he was keeping to protect himself, and all you...

This threat, failed to remove it and we know that north korea has these nuclear weapons because they see thousand united states in libya, for example, guaranteed gadhafi we are not going to go after you then we lead an attack that tackled gadhafi, launching libya into chaos that we are still seeing results of today. >> so she mentioned democratic and republican administrations. do you think democrats deserve more of the blame and what can they do to help improve this situation? >> i think playin...
