Going on there . Sean, good to see you, and good morning to you. Your live position. A little bit of breaking news. The president tweeting while he was waiting there for kim jong un to so the president could get into the cappello resort there. Larry kudlow his chief Economic Advisor has suffered heart attack and taken to Walter Reed National military Medical Center. We have no word on what the condition of larry kudlow is. But he is obviously in good hands. Walter reed National Medical center one of the premier medical institutions in this we will stay abreast of that and bring youopments on that part as things unfold. Now to the immediate matter on hand here at singapore and this summit. If you look at where we are now, compared to where we were just a few months ago, it is remarkable progress. These are leaders who not only had a sense of animosity towards each other because of their various countrys positions but also were hurling personal insults at each other. President trump calling kim jong un little rocket man in the speech that he made to the United Nations general assembly. Kim jong un saying, rather unkind thingsbout President Trump. Yet, here they are in the same building at the same time. What remains to be seen though is just how serious kim jong un is about the process of denuclearization. Mike pompeo the secretary of state has told us on a couple of occasions now said he was told in person by kim jong un because he has met him twice in person this will be the third time that kim jong un wants to denuclearize. That he has a personal commitment from kim that, yes, he wants to go ahead and do it. But it would seem to cut against the grain last two or three decades u entered into negotiations. Maybe rolling back nuclear program. The North Koreans have done one thing on one hand and then they have done something quite different on the other u remember, they said they were going to get rid of plutonium Production System and then they merely swapped that out for enriched uranium which is what led to Nuclear Bombs that they had been test you had. The president going into this with a great degree of skepticism that north korea really means what it is saying but the president insisting only thing that he will stand for is complete irreversible and verifiable denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula. We know to some degree what kim jong un is looking for. Is he looking for econo guarantees u is he looking for security guarantees. He would like to see an end to the korean war and isolation of the United States. Unless is he prepared to give it all up. In a way that can be verified, sean, is he not going to get much from this president. I dont think there is any doubt about it. John roberts checking back in with you throughout the hour tonight in singapore. Here in washington we have counsel to the president. Kellyanne conway is with us. Kellyanne, i think john roberts summed it up right. The complete, verifiable irreversible denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula on top of what has already happened which we can officially say is historic. That is by the way we are watching kim jong un and the president , lets watch this. As they meet shaking hands. History in the making. Sean that was the photo op. We are expecting in about lets listen in. [inaudible] what do you hope to accomplish, sir . Sean the media is now shouting questions what would you like to accomplish, first . Its scheduled to be a 45minute meeting. Many expect it might go on longer. Many talks have gone on throughout the day yesterday and throughout the night tonight. And leading into this morning. 9 00 a. M. Here in singapore. We do expect in about 15 minutes from right now that the president and kim jong un or at least the president will be making a statement. When that happens. We will bring it to you live. But let me go back to kellyanne conway, counselor to the president. Complete verifiable irreversible denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula. We already have a lot thats happened here. We dismantled one nuclear test site. At least kim jong un has. We have three american hostages have been released. Missiles sto being fired back in december over japan, the saber rattling has stopped. They are actually talking about denuclearization. And some hardliners have been, well, lets say expunged or removed from power. So, a lot has happened leading up to this that really paved the way for this, kellyanne. Thats right, sean. And peace and progress have already won. The steps is that have been made truly are historic. Everybody watching is witnessing history. Congratulations to you for securing the first post summit interview with President Trump. And i know that he will tell you what he thought of today. But remember what he has said already. Which is that this president knows that sometimes negotiations like this take 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 or more meetings. You cant change 70 years of war and a country that has isolated its sufficiently from most of the rest of the world as it becomes nuclear capable. And you cant expect that to turn around in a day or meeting. Lets remember whats changed from past president attempts. Leadership of President Trump. Its his ability to reframe the way we look at relations around the globe. And i will tell you, this is not an american issue. Denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula is everybodys business. This benefits the world. Thats also why preside trump has brought on board the south korean president , mr. Abe from japan. He keeps including folks from the region in the conversation. He has been preparing for this for quite a while insofar as he has been conferring with and receiving briefings from folks though ho are versed in the region. Here you are you are right. Way ahead of the game. Something about President Trump accepts the invitation from north korea to at least sit down and start to talks. Are people this weekend who are saying they hope the summit fails. They hope the economy tanks. Folks, dont bet against peace and progress for the world. Get on. Sean kellyanne, if i can interrupt you. Hang on one second. Were going to listen in on kim jong un and the president now apparently taking questions. I feel really great. Were going to have a great discussion and tremendous success tremendously successful. Its my honor. We have a terrific relationship. I have no doubt. [speaking foreign language] it was not easy to get here. [speaking foreign language] [inaudible] practices obstacles on our way forward. But we overcame all of them and we are here today. Thats true. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. This way, thank you. All right. Guys, lets go. Sean all right. As you can see. Lets keep listening in. The president will have a terrific relationship. A little hard to hear the interpreter here. We will be putting up on the kyrons at the bottom. Basically what you have a bunch of niceties. Photo opportunity. This is an historic event. The last time we saw something probably as big as this, thiss back to reagan and gorbachev and, remember, i it did not work out as some people thought. It prey greed over time. The wall came down. We l. They be talking about denuclearization human rights. Will he they be talking about possible reunification of north and south korea somewhere down the line . All of those issues, im sure, will be discussed at some point. As the president was very clear when he left washington, he was saying this is a process. There will be nothing signed here, he said. He said this might take two, three, four, five meetings or maybe even more. But it certainly is worth it. If we can make the world a safer place. But, again, the core argume and mandate of the United States and this is very clear. It is complete, verifiable, irreversible denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula. All right. Joining us now, we have dr. Sebastian gorka, sara carter and you see this pool behind us Daniel Hoffman was swimming in it doing laps. I was up with you. Thats how i know. Good to see you. The goal is noble. We have so much that has happened leading up to this. Which should give the world hone. There is no guarantees here at all. But the fact that north korea took all of those stepping, hostages released. Missiles stopped being fired. They are willing to talk about denuclearization. All of that and then knock down one of their nuclear test sites. Thats a pretty big concession just to get here. There is a lot of stepping already been taken already. Longterm is whether he wants to cash in capability for food and cash. And incident grating his economy into the region and the world. Those questions remain to be answered. What we know today is that the president is taking the presource core step which is to establish the relationship with kim jong un on which everything depends. Sean there was one political point, dr. Gorka, making before this. You know, its interesting. Every economic measure and 500 plus days. Fairly remarkable. Compared to 8 years of obama. Everybody who said donald trump couldnt win the primary. Couldnt win a general election. That thought trumps economy would tank. And that this day would never occur because he called little rocket man and talked about fire and fury. If they had any intellectual honesty, democrats and the media would be eating crow. Many politically sadly dont want this them to be successful because that hurts them in november. Bill maher wants the American Economy to tank. Sean he said so, recession u. Einstein made out speed of light famous with his equation. I think now we are going to have to talk about the speed of trump. Think about what has happened in just 500 plus 10 days. It is truly remarkable from the crushing of the isis caliphate. 75 decrease in legal immigration. Think about whats happened in a matter of a few weeks a couple of months ago we were talking about potential fire and fury on the Korean Peninsula. Today on the anniversary of reagans Brandenburg Gate speech where he sedentary down this wall. I doth my cap to choose june 12th a big day. We may be moving from fire and fury to potential peace and prosperity. Sean similarities are remarkable. I know there is a whole generation werent watching when reagan met gorbachev and reagan walked away from racovic. Mr. Gorbachev tear down this wall. Tree tried to remove it six times. Had to manually write it in there as he was riding to the event. The swamp is an old phenomena. Been around for a long time. Feels like the swamp because its more humid here in singapore than any place i have been in a long time. Similarities are remarkable. But it wasnt just tear down this wall. It was the evil empire. Sounds a lot like fire and fury and sounds a lot like little rocket man. It was the iron curtain and reagan doctrine. This didnt just happen overnight. Just like north korea right now. It doesnt happen overnight. Months of preparation in November Kim Jong un launched the icbm. Icbm over 2700 miles into space. Think about that, sean, the space station is 250 miles up. This was a really direct thread. It was a real warning. And thats why the fire and fury statement came up. Here we have these two men really challenging one mother. Something more important thats happening here. This is theinning of something very important, and isolated nation like have you described so much, samuel in all of your work. Coming outefro. And. Reaching out to you. Do you want to take this opportunity go back to november fire and fury . Daniel, you have been really remarkable from the getgo. You have been warning people especially the white house. Dont manage expectations here and i think very early on the president rightly, look, kim jong un is unpredictable. Nobody expected him to cross the dmz newt arms of the south korean president. But it happened. And the president walls very don anythin signed, 12, 3, 4, 5 visits. Maybe invite them. Maybe i wont. I will size him um in main. Like he probably did all of his business life. Said i prepared my whole life for this. I think the president followed a really smart path. We st secretary pomp to pyongyang to two visitso size up kim jong un. And seat extent to which he was serious about conducting negotiations. I think forefront of kim jong uns cals ist his Nuclear Deterrent is important for his regime security. He saw what that meanto fellow a ought accurate. On their definitely looking for. What assurances do we have that if they need the economic assistance article that the delegates of kim jong un 35 buffet breakfast which is the monthly salary of the average person. People are starving in north korea. At some point that becomes existential threat to the are regime. Too. Assurance of the United States and china be enough to make give it up yeah. Thats why it was genius im going to find outs who did it whoever had the plan yesterday who take kim resort we there were before. 57 stories. Unbelievable building. Autopsy pew lens what can you do in singapore in a matter of a few years. And showed this to kim. Can you imagine what he is thinking right now . Wow. This is the west. This is free markets. This is democracy. They planted a seed in his mind that okay, perhaps we could have this on the Korean Peninsula. Its genius. Its utter, utter genius. Sean one of the other things this is party of the lead up to this. Very interesting. The president , that is his sort of power posed if you look if you noticed with inister trudeau, all of a sudden he was sitting back and saw President Trump leaning forward like this and he went into the president smiling. He are both smiling. These are the niceties, planned in advance. Orchestrated in advance. One interesting point, there is a differing policies as it relates to foreign policy. There is a philosophy of reagan. Peace through strength. Trust but verify. The berlin wall came down. Then there is the philosophy of bill clinton he tried to bribe kim jong il with 3 billion in Energy Subsidies and told the American People this is a good deal are to the American People. It wasnt. He got Nuclear Weapons u like there is no cargo planes being sent here of cash and other currencies like obama sent to the mull also a in iran a very big philosophical divide about how to approach these people. Absolutely and failed sanctions. You know, talk, talk, talk. What we see is continually proliferate nuclear capabilities. We saw that in syria. When north korea was actually assisting Syrian Regime u. And we see that consistentl consistently. Leadership, by President Trump. Reagan was very good at this. What effects them. Its what takes them. And had you mentioned what is it going to take for kim jong un to move into this century to give his people what they need and economically i think right now seeing he has had that for some time went to switzerland in school in switzerland u this wasnt somebody isolated from the rest of the world. He just wanted the rest of the worlds respect. Its going to be difficult. Human rights abuses in north korea are staggering. There is a lot. Sean gulags there. Thats right. Sean one step at a time. I believe the nukes needs to be pawrst the conversation. If you denuclearization of the Korean Peninsula occurs. We have safer world. To what extent Daniel Huffman did the president s sanctions and the president strike brigades off the korean coast do you think have an influence on kim jong un . Think very serious and significant impact. Two pronged offensive. The contrast couldnt be greater. We are sitting in the middle of one of the most economically vibrant regions on the planet. North korea shut outlier. Singapore is the prototype. Not just kim jong un is taking it all. In everyone who is traveling with him. Kim jong un has to balance the fact that his economy i in free fall. That threatens his regime greatly. He has to think about that coupled with the United States determination to mount this deterrent that we have made very clear to him that we will be responding very seriously in the events of any military activity from north korea. Sean one other thing and i want you to add to that dr. Gorka if you can. I also think one unbeknownst little factor here if did you go back to when the president was meeting with the chinese president. Very actually fascinating and interesting. Because meetings that were supposed to be 15, 20 minutes, went on five hours. There is a story that the president tells that when he was at dinner with the chinese president , that was the night of the first syrian strike. Right. President assad had used these weapons against his own people. In the middle of dessert as the president tells the story. He leaned over and told the chinese president well, they are hurting children innocent people just so you know somebody else told him that relationship seems to have solidified greatly and is very under reported. How big a factor is it . The biggest factor these talks today of a player who is not in that room right now is china. And the fact that china after that dessert and the chocolate cake and the 59 criewstles missiles. Sean you heard the story, too. Indeed. There was some kind of gelling at maralago. Afterwards they didnt produce what the president expected. When the president got even more serious. When he sent those tweets about beijing did not step up to the plate what happened . Beijing stopped buying north korean coal. One of the few things they had. Sean that was huge. American. In our Banking Sector sanctions north korea. Somebody told you a year ago china is going to help them north Korea Financial sector. They would have september tout funny farm. It happened. This is the trump effect and also i have to say here its mike pompeo. What mike pompeo h
