Its really cool to be able to immediately post it on my social media. (vo) there when it matters. get $300 off our best phones. only on verizon. lets listen to the only president in history who has said we would be at war with north korea today if the other party had won the presidential election. >> if i had not been elected president of the united states we would right now, in my opinion, be in a major war with north korea. >> back with us tom donilon, president obamas former national securi...

This president has given more and gotten les than any of its predecessors. >> mieke, what can be accomplished and how does this make us safer? >> its important the two leaders continue talking. if theyre not talking, theyre fighting. and bringing up to the brink of war and creating a sense of crisis. if theyre talking, were not in that place and thats better than having a conflict. >> can i make a point. both mikas, there was an intermediate to basically fight hard and keep sanctions in place un...

Away from something. so many previous presidential, you know, predecessors have been working toward something concrete. but let me throw this curveball in. because could trump be, you know, so desperate for a win and to change the headlines from what will be playing out in washington with this public hearing with his former fixer michael cohen that he potentially goes off script or makes concessions instead of standing firm? >> well, you already know that regardless of what happens in hanoi the ...

Quote, very tremendous summit. after the first summit, youll remember he declared there is no longer a nuclear threat from north korea. well, his secretary of state over the weekend now contradicting that. kim jong-un seen boarding his armored train in pyongyang, traveling through china, on his way to vietnam. but back in the u.s., much of this will be on a split screen of sorts, as the presidents long-time fixer and personal attorney, michael cohen, answers questions in fronts of the american p...

His entire presidency his approval rating is in this very narrow band. high 30s and low to mid-40s. it is back into the mid-40s right now. compare where he stands right now with his predecessors at this same point of, you could see reagan and carter and reagan won re-election and the trump people think of that as a model and the two bushes there were wars going on at this point in their presidency. but here is the big difference between trump and all of these predecessors and all of the modern p...

President standing by his emergency declaration and plus ill head over to the big board. we have new numbers on trump, his approval rating and where he stands and where his predecessors stood in their re-election efforts and the target of spike lee and harry reid but it was a tweet about a fourth of july celebration that got the most attention. much more ahead. stay with us. e most attention much more ahead. stay with us isnt what goes into your soup... just as important as what you get out of i...

You look at michigan there, three states the president won last time, hes got some work to do. maybe the president decided we push, we pushed, we pushed, now its time to cut a deal. >> this is the first president who approached china through the lens of the reelection possibility. look, americans have a habit of wanting something from china and not getting it. george bush tried to push china on things like property theft, but north korea is more important, iran is more important. obama wanted ch...

Agree to build a relationship with trust amounts of president trump is trying to do. >> from a president trump has said publicly, he seems to believe the summit in and of itself is a good and worthy goal meaning face time with kim jong un translates into good and good bilateral relationship regardless of any tangible slick amount of it. >> we will see. kim jong un we obviously dont know nearly as much about him as we did about his predecessors, and his previous leaders of north korea. the questi...

>> i really do think is this is one -- >> the rules that you wrote that bob mueller is operating under, if they dont mandate a public report, help people understand what is likely if mueller does hand bill barr some information. then what? >> right. so i think in effect they do map date a public report. so there are two reports in the special counsel regulations that are required. one is the more comprehensive report that mueller has to give to barr at the conclusion of his investigation. he has...

Obligation to do so. indeed hes duty-bound to withhold anything revealing national security secrets. earlier on this network former u.s. solicitor general neilial katyal explained there is already one way for the public to learn about muellers conclusions. >> there has to be a report from barr, the attorney general, to the congress, that can be briefer, but notably it does have to include any instance in which the attorney general or his predecessors like that fake acting attorney general whitak...
