Where north korea goes, where china goes. the summit is an event, probably a one-day affair. the real question is what is it we try to accomplish if and when we meet with noirk noirth korea. if we try to be too ambitious, it will fail if we meet in singapore on june 12, and the president and his north korean counterpart agree say to two working groups, one would try to get some of a mini package. we do, you know maybe lock in the north korean freeze on testing and exchange, they get some small t...

You just mentioned, when the senior leaders are saying move forward, thats the message to the various working groups, i think there is a good chance now. but a key part of this is the role of south korea. a number of countries are doing important work here, but south korea is playing almost this role of first responder. when the united states and north korea seem to get cold feet, bruised ego ed egos you see moon get in there and interact with those individuals. thats the key component i think i...

Followed by working groups? theyre big questions. theres an effort in the interagency process as they call it to sort this out but to be honest this is not a healthy one. we have john bolton who doesnt like the idea of these talks at all coming in so ive got my eye focused on that. >> david ignatius, thank you very much. still ahead, hope hicks, h.r. mcmaster and gary cohn are all gone. so whos keeping everything stable in the white house, if you could call this stable. well bring in phillip r...

Term when they ran away from comprehensive immigration reform. as you recall, the dream act came up for a vote during president obamas term and they voted it down. so i think that republicans do need to get their act together. i do agree with rachel on that but i think that -- i dont think there is any evidence that paul ryan is going to reach across the aisle and work with democrats. >> raul, what is the getting your act together? nbc news is saying, yes, they are working on working groups, to ...

Different bill up against the wall every probably six to eight hours for the next few days and hope that one of them sticks. they tried the senate bill last night, the one they crafted in behind closed door working groups. failed miserably. we hear theyll try later to pass a repeal bill rand pause wants, that will likely want. my worry they bully these guys into delivering 50 votes. that will be terrible for the country, because it will unininsure 15 to 25 million people and terrible for them, t...
