welcome back. today difficult business for the secretary of state. mike pompeo in north korea trying to fill in the blanks and trying to turn north korea's paper promise to denuclearize into something real and verifiable. sources tell cnn the process so far has been slow and unsteady. right now still no timeline for denuking or even an administration consensus on who should be secretary pompeo's point person to do the critical detail work. "the new york times" reporting today the secretary is telling outside advisers he expects these talks to fail. but the president says all is on track and says those who say he got played by kim jong-un are wrong. >> so remember they said, he's too tough, he's going to cause a war, it's too tough. now they say, he's too nice, he's too nice. what do they say all the time? i didn't give anything up. what do they say all the time? they say, he went there.
