Resolve it. in some cases they are real challenges like security with north korea. the ways in which he fires it up through twitter and falsely claims to have solved it as he did with the great handshake summit with kim jong-un in singapore or this instance is a consistent pattern. its why i think joe biden is the best candidate for the next president. he brings a sense of experience, calmness, predictability in foreign policy. >> i do want to get to joe biden in a second. one last thing. the ac...

South korea aspect of this. this new president, president moon, there is -- they want peace. there are some that are concerned peace at any cost, but they want peace, and they seem to be the driver here. they are our chief ally. in many ways, if this is what they want, maybe president trump is obligated to give their path a shot. >> let me say theres nothing disconnected, though, just as he in his refusal to ignore the wall and make peace with pena-nieto, that led to the mexican leader canceling...

The question. that said, just because shes not necessarily going to him doesnt mean that other people arent and certainly, the president is deeply, deeply aware of this. first of all, hes intimately involved in what did or did not allegedly happen, and secondly, he is someone who watches cable news nonstop and even though it hasnt been the newsiest issue, it is breaking through and hes certainly aware of the allegations against him and the way the story is unfolding. >> do you agree with the pro...

Story surrounding stormy daniels, a story that sarah huckabee sanders will almost certainly be facing questions about later on today in the white house press briefing room in just a couple of hours. >> thats for sure. we will of course be carrying that live. more new reporting from hallie jackson, thank you so much. back to the korea story, which some have suggested, susan rice is now with us, the former national security adviser and of course, united nations ambassador. theres been a lot of t...

To be successful, then we could have a more formal handshake summit. >> but what you have described is a traditional, appropriate, diplomatic process. you are dealing with someone who is an outsized personality who likes to call audibles, who thinks hes a better deal maker than any of the pros, who has blindsided his secretary of state who has lost face over all of this. what is the likelihood they will go into it in a low key way? >> you asked me what i think should happen. you didnt ask me wha...

What would your suggestions be to this team? >> well, in the first instance, i think its very important to frame this first meeting at the head of state level, not as a negotiation, but as an informal first set of talks. and i think secretary tillerson is trying to pivot in that direction. an informal set of talks that would then, if they are successful, hand off to experts on both sides who would have the mandates of their leaders to negotiate the substantive details of a potential agreement. a...

No matter how it evolved, dr. rice? >> well, i am not of the view that a summit in itself is a bad thing. i think it matters entirely how we do it and as you pointed out a number of times already in the broadcast, summits, in order for them to succeed, have to be well prepared. this one was hastily agreed and its questionable whether it can be well prepared in the time frame that we have. we also have the challenge of the fact that we have a president who hasnt conducted a successful negotiation...

Very long process. probably the single biggest attribute well need with this particular issue is stamina. >> well wait to see whether we all have the stamina to deal with all of these new developments and a new way of leading the country. thank you both very much. the book is "radical inclusion" on leadership and to both of you, ori brafman and general dempsey, good to see you. were waiting to hear when and where this summit will take place. will be it a summit, a meeting? joining me is mark l...

This south korean envoy was in the west wing. he was meeting with general mcmaster and others, and he summoned him to the oval office. gathered his top aides around him and when mr. chung, the south korean, told him kim jong-un wanted to meet on the spot, the president said lets do it. and then he asked mr. chung to go out and tell the white house press corps. and that set off this very panicked kind of huddle among the presidents aides about how you actually do that. i mean, this gentleman is a...
