Public. and its incredible that were not doing more with whats been laid out in terms of the actions that russia has taken to interfere with our democracy and democracies around the world. >> i suppose where johns concern reaches your national security emphasis is whether those russian actions appear or suggest are linked to the president himself. what does bob mueller to do about that if he were to find that, as his former chaff, what would he do? >> regardless -- he is going to follow the fact...

I think they will try to keep things together. now, them criticizing mike pompeo, thats par for the course. this is what they do to gain leverage. they make these accusations, these threats. unfortunately, sometimes they follow it through. so we should not lose hope, but things arent going very well. >> was that north koreas way in which to perhaps influence president trump to reconsider whether, you know, bolton and mike pompeo are assets to him, you know, that perhaps if north korea gets in th...

Suspending negotiations. they announced that they were thinking about it. when you put that all together, they are trying to give that little leverage that they are not prepared to walk away. my guess is both sides were disappointed by the result that neither side wants to walk away right now. but things are not moving in a good direction. arthel: to that point, although some went into the premature fanfare, not enough negotiating dealmaking before president trump met with kim jong un. now that ...

Commentary on this, but im not hearing, for example, democratic presidential candidates, for the most part, or in a sense democrats in general talking -- they dont have much political leverage because theyre against the wall altogether. how its going to be paid for and trumps lies about that are just another in a long litany of his lies going back to the beginning of the campaign. >> i mean, they may feel, howard, that hes so sufficiently and completely and publicly owned himself they dont have ...

Another, they may write us a check. >> the problem here politically, in opposing trump, is -- im hearing a lot of commentary on this, but im not hearing, for example, presidential candidates for the postpart or in a sense democrats in general, talking -- they dont have much political leverage because theyre against the wall all together. how it will be paid for in trumps lies about that are just another in a long litany of his lies. >> they may feel she so sufficiently owned himself, they dont h...

American foreign policy toward north korea. it sounds good to the ear. previous administrations have done this. always failed. >> what works? >> what works is pressure. you go back to the middle of may of last year, trump had an extraordinarily successful policy. he was making no concessions, the north koreas were making all of them. then he decided to relax sanctions enforcements and guess what happened? we were making most of the concessions and the ones that kim were making were unimportant. ...

The leadership really concluded going into the hanoi summit. they essentially but the same deal on the table, harris, that they had done with previous initiations. close the nuclear facility, promised to give up nuclear weapons. in return, get sanction relief now. that has always worked. im stunned that they thought this administration with trumps leadership and the strong team around him, given all the meetings prior to this, that they thought they would get that deal out of this administration...

That act. we go right back to crisis mode, with the military option get back in the table customer guessed all of that. i think this is about leverage, harris. they want the initiation to come forward. the administration will come forward because its in our national interest to negotiate. but we are not going to give them the one leverage we have. the only reason it has been two summits, thats because of the sanctions themselves. we are not going to give in on that until there is substantive rel...
