Weapon. >> harris: um-huh. >> in exchange for oil and two nuclear power plants. that didnt happen for reasons, actually, the united states government did not fund the program and at the same time, its almost certain that north korea was not carrying out its side of the agreement and was continuing to develop a bomb. all of that tells us -- >> harris: do you feel like we get another bite at the apple? im hearing you say security. thats one of the things that president trump has promised kim jong ...

Happen, but the margin of error here is very small. thats because president trump has to find a way to offer just enough to kim jong un that hes willing to consider delahrizing, giving up his security blanket, but he cant give too much that hes going to further cement kim jong un as the worlds most reclusive authoritarian dictator. and thats why this discussion and negotiation is so difficult. im optimistic that something good will come out of this, but we really dont know because of just how di...

Of the movies changed. >> dana: with the horrible camerawork. >> greg: i was terrified. i want topond to juans misguided belief we should be >> juan: i didnt say the same thing. as dana said, the man has nukes now. he didnt have nukes before. >> greg: how did that happen? thing.berly: here is the people get upsthey think rodman is like sideshow. hes obviously not going to have any place in the negotiations. this is going to be president trwith kim jong un. if kim jong un feels more comfortable w...

Denuclearization. you give up the weapons, the bombs, the missiles, the rockets, components, fissile material. pete: that is kim jong uns security blanket. without his nukes, without his missiles, he doesnt have a deterrence to the west. is that true and can we get to that complete taking away of nukes? >> yeah. i think we can. and i think that premise is false. and i think that kim is just now starting to realize he has fallen into what i call the nuclear trap. he thought, let me develop some n...

Korea wants to keep negotiations warm if not hot because negotiations provide and already have provided kim with some benefits. he thinks that they will bring economic relief. he thinks they will provide him for reputational boost. if hes viewed as a committed and incredible negotiator on par with world leaders like donald trump, and i also think that for kim negotiations are a security blanket. if were engaged in negotiations with north korea and if donald trump thinks that they could lead some...

With gadhafi, would the west have intervened? maybe, maybe not. there will be some carrots given to north korea in the form of economic assistance or in the form of we in essence have a security guarantee like we did with cuba rg something along those lines. were not interest in invading north korea. maybe china holds that security blanket. but a long term nonnuclearized north korea is essential. my concern is if this doesnt happen, we are at the churchill kind of moment where we are looking for...

Years and we do nothing in response. >> thats right. >> i think we have to accept that kim jong-un has been quite sophisticated in his approach to all of this. hes given some things but hes largely given things up that dont cost him anything. giving up the three hostages, thats something but they provide him with very little value. its thrown in his face what he and his regime understand to be his security blanket. starting there for the united states, i think doesnt lead to a very successful ou...

Relationship. and i think it must have hit a nerve because while other world leaders were mourning the death of barbara bush, the president was golfing and raging on twitter. in addition to that, apparently this morning, the president is venting about his nominees being held up again. and the wall. the wall seems to be a security blanket, the president goes back to it when he needs something else to rage about. but, again, it certainly -- it certainly points to the fact that this president isnt ...

To be any there-there at this point. >> fair enough there. we are cautious. let me ask you about rudy you heard the president say many times were going to keep up maximum pressure. were not going to stop that giuliani. hes back -- yeah, you did drop until they denuclearize. the mic. we all live on the point. he said i can walk away from the table, but chuck, more important rudy giuliani, presidents reasons why with need a legal team. secretary of state confirmed whats interesting about it is a...

I think at the end of the day, no matter what mueller finds, well be seeing a report referred to congress and i think trumps final kind of security blanket is that even if the house votes to impeach him, it will be very hard to get 67 votes, 15 or so republicans to remove him and just as you say, at the end of the day, this is going to be a political battle involving the congress and very likely not a legal battle involving the federal courts. >> all right. thank you for taking the time. we pree...
