Anybody who takes over a situation like he did at 26 years of age and is able to run it and run it tough. You trust him. I do trust him, yeah. Really hes got a great personality. Hes a funny guy, hes a very smart guy, hes a great negotiator. He loves his people. I believe its a rough situation over there. Theres no question about it. We did discuss it today pretty strongly, knowing what the main purpose what well be doing is denuking. Its rough. Its lot in a lot of places, by the way. Hes denuking the whole place and hes going to start very quickly. Can i ensure anything . You cant ensure anything. I also will be inviting chairman kim at the appropriate time to the white house. I think its really going to be something that will be very important. And he has accepted. We will be stopping the war games, which will save us a tremendous amount of money, unless and until we see that the future negotiations n going along like it should. But well be saving a tremendous amount of money. Plus i think its very provocative. I may be wrong. I may be standing in front of you in six months and saying, hey, i was wrong. I dont know if ill ever admit that but ill find some excuse. A lot of questions still ling ber this whole thing, especially about the president s assertion that he hopes to withdraw u. S. Troops from south korea. Well have reaction from the pentagon and capitol hill. Lets start with nic robertson, who is in seoul, south korea. Nick . Reporter brooke, what were hearing from the administration here is they were somewhat blindsided by the cancelling of these joint military exercises that are hugely important to the defense of south korea should there be aggression from the north. The troops here are on the readytofonight footing. So theyre key to having that level of preparedness. We heard they want to understand the precise meaning and accuracy of what President Trump meant by stopping these actions. No mention of the joint military exercises but he does say he wants to improve the cooperation and coordination from the United States and south korea as they move forward in this diplomatic measure. Im Phil Mattingly on capitol hill. Right now when you talk to Senate Republicans, the members of the president s own parties, youre hearing a mix of two different viewpoints on things. Cautious optimism. They know at least at this moment, the world is likely further away from a Nuclear Conflict than they were just a couple of days ago and certainly a couple of months ago. But theres also extreme skepticism, the reality, the deal over deal with north korea over the last couple of decades has fall i dont know through and this is only a first step. Ive talked to several republican senators who are particularly wary of the president s decision that joint military exercetween the u. S. And south korea would be postponed or cancelled altogether. Theyre certainly not on board withat. As one senator said to me, this is like the first day of school and now we have to figure out what happens from here and what the grades are going forward. Back to you. Im Barbara Starr at the pentagon. For the u. S. Military, the key questions now are the details. What exactly is the president talking about . Will all training exercises, socalled war games, be halted . The next major exercise already scheduled for august. What will be the timing . Will it be all of them or just some o them . This is something kim kip has wa for years, he wants war games cancelled and u. S. Troops out of south korea. Did the president give kim everythings or are there conditions for these two agenda items. This is what the pentagon is trying trying to. Thank you all so much. Lets talk aboute about whats next with Christiane Amanpour there. Heres a little bit of news weve just gotten in that we know that President Trump called in to the Senate Republican lunch in washington touting the success of the summit. Were also told that the president and Vice President couldnt give a clear answer today when lawmakers asked him what the by suspending, quote unquote, war games. Whats your read on that . Well, ive been talking to experts, analysts andicials hereregion. I think everybody was a bit blindsided. The spent gone spokesman has just told reporters that secretary mattis was not surprised by the president s announcement. By the same token, you heard the military spoke masmpokesman in n say they continue to plan unless hes told something else. He said its a Bilateral Agreement between the u. S. And the South Koreans and the u. S. Cant just stop them. And for people who really depended on the last 70 years on the United States presence and its preparedness, thats what the exercises are about. Theyre about keeping the troops in the field there prepared in the case that they are needed. And as long as those troops remain there, they are going to need these exercises, according to the experts to remain prepared for when they may or may not be needed. So theyre not just there to protect against north korea, theyre also there, as others have said torq, to guard their eastern flank from any china rising threats and russia rising threats. Its not like willynilly troops plun plunked around the world and beating their chests. On the other hand, it was a mixed bag, it was great the two sat together and talked and hopefully began to build a relationship of trust while they try to figure out the big issue on denuclearization. Were going to wait to it see who pulls the next move and where the ball is, whose court is it in. Right now no specific promises on the actual nittygritty of denuclearization, brook. I know you were really hopeful about the outcome of the summit, but i also know that after you watched the president give that News Conference that you we to quote your language, worried and a bit depressed. Tell me why. Well, ive spoken to a lot of people about it. I checked my instincts with a lot of experts, former actual Trump Administration, actual policy person who resigned at the beginning of this yea ive spoken to just this evening a former u. N. Ambassador to china and people are pleased that this conversation happened therhappened , theres no down side about it unless you give thing away without getting things back. Theyre concernot enough was in hand for the United States, for the allies out of this conversation. On the other hand, i also spoke to a south korean official who says we think that the north have reconfirmed their commitment to denuclearization. We believe they think denuclearization means disarmament, in other words, getting rid of their nuclear weapons. Nobody else is kwai sure about that. I even spoke to an analyst who said maybe the u. S. Will have to live eventually with a north korea that lives under strict arms controls. Its better to bealking than it is to be talking about war. Christiane amanpour, thank you for weighing in. Some even floating the idea of a nobel peace prize. And major Court Decision coming down on the merger between our Parent Company time warner and at t. You will hear why it could have major ripple effects on all media. And later, alec baldwin says he could definitely win if he decided to run for president in 2020. Well play the clip. We know theres Nothing Better than getting off the couch and on the water. We know the great outdoors. We love the great outdoors. Get started fishing during the gone fishing event at Bass Pro Shops and cabelas. With free kids fishing at our catchandrelease pond and great deals on great gifts for dad like select mens shorts for under 13. And this knife and tool sharpener kit for under 80. Bass pro shops andels. So allstate is giving us money back on our bill. Well, that seems fair. We didnt wish we got money back on gym memberships. Get money back well, that seems fair. We didnt hilarious. With claimfree rewards. Switching to allstate is worth it. I was very surprised at the size of this crowd. Woman my question is, why hasnt congress started impeachment proceeding given what we know, and they probably know much more. To congresspeople privately, democrats and republicans acknowledge that this is a reckless, dangerous, and lawless president. For them, political safety is what is driving them to sweep it under the rug. If we dont stand up for the basic values of america, if we normalize this behavior, he will continue, and he will push it every single time he gets away with it. I mean, thats sort of the reaction to any bully. It tends to isolate you, and when you meet with other people and listen, you get that sense that youre not the only one who feels that way. Well, im just grateful that everybody. m not the othat feels that youre not the only one who feels that way. That trump needs to be impeached. mbut prevagen helps your brain with an ingredient that youre not the only one who feels that way. Originally discove. In jellyfish. In clinical trials, prevagen has been shown to irove shortterm memory. Prevagen. The name to remember. Were back here on cnn. Im brooke baldwin. I want to take a moment to remind everyone about the dictator and his regime. His people are starving. There death camps where prisoner die, suffer rape, starvation and torture. He suppresses information to spread his propaganda and of course he detains foreigners to use as bargains chips, including american otto warmbier, who left north korea in a vegetative state and later died. Ill never forget, i talked to his parents here last year and they described the first they saw son on the plane back from north korea. And otto is laying on a stretcher, hes strapped to the stretcher and hes moving around and jerking violently, making these howling, inhuman sounds. Greta and cindy leave, go down the steps, its too much for them t handle. Austin and i walk over to otto and hes in this condition, he has a shaved head, his eyes are darting around in theyre ass deaf, hes got a feeding tube and we kneeled done and we hug him and try to connect with him and hes a complete vegetable. Every day i think of otto. I mean, almost every minute of every day i think of otto. Hes always going to be with me. Now we see north korea with the intenstions claiming to be victim, that the world is picking on them and were here to tell you as witnesses to the regime, north korea is not a victim. That was last fall. We now have a statement in the wake of the historic summit in singapore. They say we appreciate President Trumps recent comments about our family. We are proud of ot oaf and miss him. Hopefully something positive can come from this. Senate Majority Leader Mitch Mcconnell called trumps meeting a positive first step. Erik ericsson saidf obama had done what trump just did, americans would be demanding his im impeachment. Listen to th difference of how fox news treated president obama when he said he would be willing to meet with u. S. Enemies. Would you as president meet with the leaders of a country like north korea . Obama extraordinarily said id meet with him. Senator obama mhis intentions Crystal Clear on the campaign trail. I will meet not just with our friends buth ouies. President obama likes talking to dictators. He would meet with some of these madmen without preconditions. Im going to reach out to some of these crazy people around the world and get things done. Obama is bowing and scraping before dictators. The commander in chief leadership is now leading to a major Foreign Policy breakthrough. Another stunning donald trump breakthrough. President trump scoring a big win. Ts time to celebrate a great victory when it happens. We are really in danger in living in a sort of pretty little dream world where barack obama thinks the power of his personality is going to have this incredible transformative impact. President trump made the decision himself to meet face to face with kim jong un. This guy has a very unique quality of leadership. He is so charming, he can deal with people, he can get along with people. I think that this will only work out well. Jake tapper, i mean, its like you watch that, you watch the arc and its almost like record scratch. Its crazy. The idea that anybody can look at human rights issues, whether its the castros or are the llahsn iran or kim jong un or the kim family through a political partisan lens of the united ates, if obama does it its bad or trump does it, its good, or vice versa, its stunning to me. Human rights issues are human rights issues. What the castros, the kims, what the mullahs do, it has nothing to do with if you like the president at that time. We were covering a lot of the dissidents in cuba and their protests, the lack of freedoms in cuba and there was the exact opposite thing going on where one channel, not cnn and not fox, was praising this as an amazing moment of diplomacy. Well, we have since seen that there hasnt exactly been this blossoming of freedom in cuba. And now we see the same thing. Thats why its so unhealthy. Thats why organizations like amnesty or human rights watch, hu rightsst are u have to focus on because they dont look at it through who is president , i want to support the u. S. President. They look at it through what is going on in this country. Human rights. So the president is coming back from this historic summit in singapore. He gave this News Conference and had left the g7 early in canada and made a lot of news with how he treated our good friends in canada. This is what ehe said about thi News Conference in singapore about justin trudeau. He gave out a little bit of an obnoxious thing. I actually like him, but he shouldnt have done that. Thats going to cost him a lot of money. You think about the spectrum in 24 hours, on the one side he calls trudeau obnoxious i know Peter Navarro has walked back his special place in hell. And the president called him a liar. On the other end of the spectrum you have him with the handshake and the lavish praise of our foe. Talk about humean rights. It is a disconnect. He is disrupting our normal alliances in trade with the go their 7 and what we do with north korea. It seems as if he is favoring bad guys and dissing good guys. In actuality, when you look at policy, in north korea the u. S. Is still imposing economic sanctions. But it is striking, calling trudeau weak and suggesting hes not honest in one breath and then within a day or two i mean, the comments he made about kim jong un being smart and a great negotiator and he loves hispeople, effusive praise for one of the most murder use, barberous dictators on the planet. Hey, congratulations on your new book. It was great to be at the party last night. Everyone, if you dont know, the big book, the Hellfire Club which has been on the New York Times best seller list how many weeks . Four weeks.

He made Public Comments about the Metoo Movement that have set off another wave of criticism. During an interview with pbs this time, clinton was asked about the Sexual Harassment allegations against former senator al franken when he said this i think the norms have really changed in terms of what you can do to somebody against their will, how much you can crowd their space, make them miserable at work. You dont have to physically ast somebody to make them, you know, uncomfortable at work or at home or in their utter just walking around. That i think is good. Keep in mind this is just a week after he had a conversation with nbc news, questions about apologizing to former white house intern Monica Lewinsky. Heres what he said. Have you ever apologized to her . Yes. I apologized to everybody in the world. But you didnt apologize to her . I didnt talk to her. The think is i got hot uer the kol collar. Heres what i want to say. It wasnt my finest hour. With me anna navarro and simone sanders. Lets just state this fact it has never been okay to do something against someone elses will. Lets state that as fact. Ana, what did you think of clintons comments . Look, it makes me cringe somewhat. Let me say that i know bill clinton. Let me tell you that i like bill clinton. He alsopens to be one of the most eloquent and pathetic people in modern history, one of the most eloquent, effective speakers in modern times. And we see him struggling with this time and again for the obvious reason. It strikes close to home. It strikes home. He is vulnerable in a way where hes not just talking about this theoretically. Hes somehow trying to reconcil
