Thanks for being with us. sidelining the national security adviser john bolton prior to an historic summit is either, a, shrewd, b, extraordinary, c all of the above. what do you pick? >> yeah, if true, certainly all of the above. and you certainly see a difference in tone on the part of the president. and john, for me, the pivot point was last week when secretary pompeo came out of his meetings in new york with kim yong-chol and i think the secretary gave a very masterful press conference there...

Members of the eagles took a knee during the regular season or the post season last year, so thats a made up crisis. frankly, john, my personal view -- look, i was irritated with colin kaepernick interfering with what was a moment of unity or at least three hours of unity every weekend for the american people. but the president created this issue. when he gave that speech in huntsville last september, bringing this issue forward to his base, i calculated that there are about 1750 american athlet...

Make sure theyre at the table in singapore on tuesday. it all came to a head it seems over the comments that bolton made over libya, equating north korea with libya, words that certainly enflamed tensions with north korea so much so that there were hostilities to the extent that president trump felt he had to cancel the summit. when the whole thing was smoothed over, north koreas number two traveled to washington, d.c. to meet with the president, secretary pompeo was in the room, bolton was not....

Verifiable commit nment to denuclearization. >> that was the unforced error that we decided to begin this at the head of state level. but now the price of admission is giving kim jong-un that photo op. and youre right, that is a major concession on our part, but we baked that in about three months ago when we agreed to the meeting at this level. >> which is something that kim jong-uns father asked for from president clinton. president clinton wouldnt give it to and go and meet with him as presid...

Koreans. john, its very interesting. you know, i think ambassador bolton has been hammered a bit with regard to bringing up the libyan model. libya is actually pa two-act play. act two was the american led nato effort to unseed gadhafi, but act one was the americans demanding the libyans disarm in return for the promise of better relations. and act one was kind of our model for most of last year. weve backed away not just from act two, overthrowing the government, but act one as well. for lack o...
