And i think they should seize the opportunity and well soon find out if they want to do that. Dana john roberts has more. John, you were there in the oval office. You tell me, do you think the summit is going to happen . Well, the president himself told me on the way out he thought it was 50 50. Last week when we were in the oval office with him he asked me on the way out what do you think of north korea . He said i think its a coin toss. I sad today, do you still think its a coin toss . He said yeah, he thinks its probably 50 50. The president has been optimistic up until today about the possibility of a summit. But we know what north korea said last week, canceling the planned meetings with south korea. Although it seems like those meetings with moon jaein may go ahead sometime in the next week. The president saying last week well, we dont really know what the North Koreans are up to but we are still making plans. Today he suggested that there is a very real possibility it wont happen on june 12. Listen here. President trump we are working on something. You know, there is a chance that it will work out. There is a chance, a substantial chance that it wont work out. I dont want to waste a lot of time. Im sure he doesnt want to waste a lot of time. There is a very substantial chance it wont work out. Thats okay. That doesnt mean it wont work out over a period of time. But it may not work out for june 12. John may not work out for june 12. The president said maybe it will work out later. The president went further down the road as well in saying he didnt like the outcome of the may 8 meeting that kim jong un had with president xi jinping in the chinese port city. He said he knew about the first meeting they had in beijing but this second one was a surprise. He said he noticed that there was a change in tone from north korea. He is wondering if xi jinping got in kims ear and said look, you better slowwalk this thing with the summit and the president of the United States because he is going to want to get you to give up the nuclear weapons. Which is why we saw President Trump last week and again today, dana, saying directly to kim jong un. Listen, i will guarantee your security. Both in terms of the nation itself and your personal security. We will guarantee that you will stay in power and guarantee that your economy flourishes. He went so far to say he knows south korea and china are willing to put a lot of money to north korea to turn the economy around from the path its been on now. So this is not live pictures. This tape from a while ago. But moon jaein the president drove by me before i came on the air but this is a taped playback. Oh, actually, that is going in. His arrival. I got the wrong information there. But at any rate, dana, the president is trying to say to kim jong un come meet me in singapore june 12. It will be nothing but good for you if you do but also reiterating he has to give up the Nuclear Program if he wants anything out of this. Dana the guarantees are interesting. We should explore those in the next few weeks but i want to ask about the question to him about the korean reunification. He is there with the south korean president who is very keen to see this deal worked out. What did he tell you . John this is the first time the president ever talked about this. There are two ideas of the korean reunification. The souths idea of unified Korean Peninsula being a capitalistoriented free market economy. Then you have north koreas interpretation of what the vision of reunification should look like. I put the question to the president today, what he saw as the long of term vision for these talks with north korea . Did he see two koreas coexisting peacefully or did he think that the north korean and south korean reunification could be a good idea . Listen to how he answered. President trump i think what will happen is you start off with to koreas and its largely up to them whether or not they get together. I see two crees and ultimately maybe some i see two koreas and ultimately maybe in the future they will get together and you would go back to one korea. John President Trump said he would like to see a unified korea but only if north and south korea agreed that that is what they wanted to do. This is a sensitive issue, particularly with china. Dana john, thank you for the robert. We appreciate it. The North Koreans inviting a small group of foreign journalists to witness a destruction of the primary Nuclear Test Site. Military analysts like general jack keane remain skeptical. Given a widely held view that this Nuclear Test Site collapsed as a result of the last Major Nuclear test that they conducted back in december, that it is probably a p. R. Stunt. Therefore, the site is not usable anyway and they are trying to advertise it that they are dismanting the nuclear dismantling the Nuclear Test Site to demonstrate theyre serious about denuclearization. Dana Dennis Wilder is professor of Asian Studies at Georgetown University and the former director of east Asian Affairs at the National Security council. I am glad you are here today. You are the perfect guest on the perfect day to talk about it. You know each of the countries individually but you look at the region of a whole and you know the United States position. So let me give you the floor to give me your impressions after the president s meeting today with the president of south korea in the oval office. I think the president is making some very smart moves here to be careful about the summit. The North Koreans clearly are feeling their oats a bit and they are going back to the old style. In part, the president is right. Because xi jinping has started to talk about the Economic Development with the north and the north is feeling like they have their back covered by the chinese. So now the president watching that is realizing that he has to put the pressure back on the chinese and on the North Koreans. So what he is saying is what we should be saying, which is hey, we will have this meeting if the terms are right. If the terms arent right, we can wait. One thing in the past we have seen is the american negotiators with the North Koreans too eager to find a way to get a deal. When we do that, they take us for a ride and they have taken us for several rides in the past. I think the president is signals go ahead. Dana i want to ask you about the South Koreans. Because in this scenario it seems like they are very eager and today in the Washington Post there was an oped by the sacken ambassador south Korean Ambassador of the United States. We cannot afford to lose hope that kim may choose a different past from his father or his grandfather, unlike in the past. We have seen and are about to see diplomatic actions on the highest level among the main countries involved. What do you think of the dynamic of what the South Koreans want and what the chinese want and the president saying look, im not coming over there, im not going to waste my time and fly to singapore for nothing. But the South Koreans are keen to get this done. I was actually glad that the North Koreans if you will popped the bubble of the South Koreans a little bit by refusing to have the meetings and by refusing to have the south korean reporter goes to the test site. I think south korea was getting way out on its skis on this. And way too believing that there is a change in north korea. I do think kim 3. 0 is different than the kim 2. 0 and 1. 0. He did study in switzerland. He is internet savvy. I think he is thinking if he got the right deal for his people there is the possibility that he would give up the nuclear weapons. Im not as convinced as some people he would never give them up. Dana but it is different for him in that he has the nuclear weapons. The two previous kims did not. Right. Dana let me ask about one other thing, china. The president talked about that before i let you go. I want you to listen to this because the president was obviously as john roberts reported not that happy with how china may have weighed in here. Listen. President trump no, not really. I think that theyre a start. But we need something. Look. China has been i really call it a dereliction of duties to take advantage of us on trade the way we have been taken advantage of. China has an example has made a fortune. I mean a transfer of wealth like nobody has seen in history. They are the big one. They are almost all bad but china is the big one. Im not satisfied but we will see what happens. Dana tell me what you think about that, dennis. These trade negotiations are tough. Its between the world two largest massive economies. Now the chinese i think are coming in trying to low ball the United States. I think the president s right to say we are not going to take crumbs off the table again. You have done well off the markets. You do well every year off the market. What are you going to give us in return and how do we make it a fair reciprocal relationship . He came and put a few things on the table. More agricultural purposes and more l g purchases from the United States. But they didnt talk about the structural change in the relationship that needs to happen. So American Companies get a fair shake and the American Worker gets a fair shake. That what needs to happen. Dana john roberts asked the president and the president said he thinks whether the meeting takes place on june 12 is a con flip, 50 50. What do you put it . I think its a little higher. 60 40 but it is close to that. Dana Dennis Wilder, thank you. Rare cooperation between democrats and the republicans as Congress Takes a first step to improving the nations prison system. Republican in the house who introduced a bill to do just that will join me live. Plus, President Trump meeting with the Deputy Attorney general as he demands answers about the russia investigation. If they had spies in my campaign, during hi campaign for political purposes, that would be unprecedented in the history of our country. Its just a burst pipe, i could fix it. laugh no.

President trump if they had spies in my campaign, that would be a disgrace to my country. That would be one of the biggest insults that anyone has ever seen and it would be illegal aside from everything else. I would make probably every political event ever look like small potatoes. Dana President Trump discussing the use of a confidential informant during the early stages of Robert Muellers russia investigation, which was a focus of his meeting yesterday with Deputy Attorney general Rod Rosenstein, f. B. I. Director Christopher Wray and others. Michael moore is a former u. S. Attorney for the middle district of georgia but here in new york today and we are glad to have you here. Good to be here. Dana let me ask you about the process. Some critics say President Trump was overstepping the line when it comes between some sort of separation between the Justice Department and the white house. But the president is a chief executive officer and he oversees the Justice Department. There is a real history of having a separation there. You want an independent Justice Department to do investigation without political pressure. Lady justice is blind. If they dont take a stand because they want to get to the facts. What is interesting here, it may not be illegal he came and asked for the investigation but it was probably illadvised. He is already under investigation for the potential obstruction charges and dealing in some part with how he handled jim comey and the pressure he put there so he is calling the Deputy Attorney general back to the white house and the new director of the f. B. I. And talking to them about a request for another investigation. It could be seen as if he is trying to steer it one way or another. Dana Rod Rosenstein the Deputy Attorney general says fine, i will ask the Inspector GeneralMichael Horowitz who has a good reputation. He does. Dana people think he is fair. Right. Dana we expect any minute now this report from him about the clinton email investigation and how the f. B. I. Handled that. In the meantime, Rod Rosenstein has said while you are add it, add this to your plate. How long this is endless. Is the investigation endless . That is a good point. They have asked that the investigation wrap up and giuliani came out saying it would wrap up by september. But now they throw Something Else in the mix. So that keeps it alive. I think that is a problem for the administration. It sort of keeps the story alive. At the same time we are talking about other things like whether or not there is a spy which i think is sort of a ridiculous proposition. But whether or not there is a spy in the trump campaign. Versus some of the things that the special counsel already found out. Dana do you think i dont know whether they are splitting hairs. Or maybe we dont know enough information. Is it true that President Trump if he wanted to could declassify all of this information and just get it out there and then everybody can do their own investigation . Well, the president has the authority to declassify things. There are a lot of things he could do. We talked before this is a money case. We are following the money when we talk about the crux of the investigation. He could let the tax returns out. There are things that could be done to shorten the investigation but this activity and the suggestion we move forward and now with the House Republicans coming out to want an Additional Special counsel. Dana i want to ask about that. Listen to congressman zeldin from new york who is calling for a Second Special counsel with 12 other republicans on the house side. Listen. These are historic, legendary agencies that require transparency and the accountability requiring what took place. We learned the d. O. J. Or the f. B. I. Or both appear to have planted at least one person into Donald Trumps president ial campaign to infiltrate and surveil the campaign. This action alone reminds us of how necessary this resolution is and as well as the appointment of a special counsel. Dana i have heard people say be careful what you wish for if you ask for another special counsel. Does it make everything play out longer . I think it does. Wing thing we will talk, one thing that republicans in the house are upset about is the fisa application and whether or not the application process was appropriate for the information to be used. I think that is a bad thing for them because a judge has already found the information was credible enough to issue the order. Its not like the department grabbed a piece of paper and signed off on it. What happens is now we will prolong the investigation, we are going to get back to things maybe plow over some ground that has been passed over to this point. Dana you worked at the Justice Department, you were a u. S. Attorney, man of the law. Are you concerned, though, because the f. B. I. Seems to be so wrapped up and unable to defend itself or to talk about these things because the investigations are ongoing that the damage to the credibility is going to be long lasting . I think so. The f. B. I. Has a great history of being one of the strongest investigative agencies in the world. And these continued knocks against the credibility of the f. B. I. , the leadership has been a problem and it was a problem when the president was attacking james comey as we have gone through. So i worry about that. I think you have great professionals there who are going to do their job and they historically do it. The f. B. I. Is just like other elements of the Justice Department
