And he thinks about getting along with a guy like putin and kim jong-un as the objective of the meeting. and that is not traditionally the way we do things. and especially to do it with no note-taker in the room, thats really dangerous, because then putin gets to read out the meeting in the way he thinks is in russias national interests. >> gentlemen, julia, thank you for joining us. coming up, president trump chats with three more potential supreme court nominees. and embattled epa chief sc...

And he isnt being talked out of the idea of how damaging that can be to his public image and how many questions americans would have about that. thats kind of the most common question i get, is why is he still going out of his way to defend russia, to talk about crimea, if he is trying to say that he won this election fair and square? >> mike mcfaul, you said the idea of a meeting in which there is no one else in the room, given the shadow that donald trump is under, it just doesnt make sense. >...

Know these issues cold. he doesnt know the history. that just puts the advantage to president putin. number two, you need a note-taker in those meetings. we need to know what happened. i was in every meeting that president obama had with russian presidents because we wanted somebody to be recording things in case there was a disagreement. and even in the obama days, there were disagreements about what happened in those be meetings. so i think its a bad idea. it gives advantage to putin and disad...

Sunday night in the states and no one will see the crowning achievement. it does speak to his relations with norms. >> well, yeah. he is obviously not thinking of the other side and what they want to do with the summit, thats for sure. there were lots of norms that were broke and violated. other ones we have talked about before and no note takers for that first meeting. i used to be a note taker in some of the meetings with president obama and leaders it is god to have a record because the north...

>> apparently, ambassador, one of the reasons they gave him was, it will be on television late sunday night in the states and no one will see your crowning achievement. it does speak to his relations with norms. >> yeah, hes obvious hi not thinking about the other side and what they would want to do with that summit, thats for sure. and, again, there were lots of forms that were broken and violated. one other ones that we talked about before, there were no note takers for that first meeting. i u...

A bored trump urged the aides to demand the meeting pushed up by a day and talked out of the altering the long plan summit date on the fly. we are here now, why cant we just do that. one of the reasons is because it will be on television late sunday night in the states and no one will see the crowning achievement. it does speak to his relations with norms. >> well, yeah. he is obviously not thinking of the other side and what they want to do with the summit, thats for sure. there were lots of no...

United states. >> michael, its rachel here. its nice to see you. >> hi, rachel. >> weve been talking a lot about how different this has been approached by this administration. obviously its different me terms of the top line. no u.s. president has ever agreed to meet with a north korean dictator before even though for 70 years the north koreans have wanted that. but in addition to that the president has bragged about how he hasnt prepared. there isnt a south korean ambassador. there hasnt been p...

Just odd? >> well, there are a few places i could go here. one, you always have a note taker for a simple reason. even when obama was alone in the room whether with whoever it might have been, putin, anybody else. reason y a note taker is there is clarity on what was agreed to and what wasnt. there is a huge risk that donald trump and kim jong-un could walk out of that discussion with very different ideas of what they lad just talked about or what they just agreed to. the note taker is the that ...
