Not drawing down at all. It was never discussed. Im sure he would like that. It was never on the table. It was never on the table. With that being understood and you asking me a question like that, i would love to get the military outages and as we can because it costs a lot of money and a lot of money for us. We dont get paid fully for ii a about it. We have 32,000 soldiers in south korea. I would like to get them home but is not on the table right now. Kimberly the full interview airs on special report tonight at 6 00 p. M. Eastern. In south korea, secretary of eompeo says the u. S. Wants to see kim jong un making progress towards the denuclearization before thend of trumps first term. The president is taking aim at ve coverage of hisia for landmark sit down, tweeting so funny to watch the fake news, especially nbc and cnn. They are fighting hard to downplay the deal with north korea. 500 days ago they would have begged for this deal. Looked like war would break out. Our countrys biggest enemy is the fake news so easily promulgated by fools greg. You are an expert in promulgated by fools. Greg i am. Everybody here by nature is skeptical. We are skeptical about everything. I find it i guess funny that the least skeptical people on earth are demanding that we be skeptical, so these are the people that smear you if you are skeptical about cuba or Climate Change or stats on mass shootings. If youre skeptical about the paris accords, iran, commusm, socialism, venezuela. If you are skeptical about that, you are heartless. Have always been skeptical. I had michael malice on my podcast today. He tweeted something good. If you think the possibility of peace is worse than the possibility of war, there must be shing wrong with you. He says he has a good metaphor that north korea is like a age situation. The protocol is you try to get the hostage taker to put the guns down and you do that first by dialogue, and then, whether that means reassuring him with a film, that might work. Its terrible and north korea. They have concentration camps. They had genocide in the 90s. Its a ruthless regime. Containment doesnt work. Containment doesnt help the hostages feel good. A hostage and might think trump is saving me. Kimberly dana, what do you make in terms, weve had time since the historic summit to see the fallout, the discussion, people take different sides in terms of their opinion of what they think transpired. Dana i think it is still a net plus for the president in the world. There is still hope. There is skepticism but its important to note that the skeptic perko skepticism isnt necessarily about President Trump. Its about north korea and kim jong un because the regime repeatedly lied. They repeatedly agreed to similar things back 1996, 2,000, 2006. Journalists are skeptical. Conservatives are skeptical. The skepticism is also about the North Koreans, just as it was about the iranians. I also think that in some ways theres this tribal nature of who youre going to trust. If you are a democrat and you trusted obama and you thought the iran deal was a good one. You might think the pnnel, secretary john kerry, you had trust in him. Conservatives did not. I think youre seeing the mirror image. Republicans will say a trust President Trump. I think he knows what hes doing. He didnt get it all in one day. We didnt expect that. They also respect the people at work for him. John bolton, mike pompeo. On the other side it would be backorth. I think when it comes to the cost tomericans to have our troops in south korea and in the region and to do these exercises, its not just input out. Its not a lost cause. Its in our Strategic National interest to have a presence there. You dont want to have to ramp it back up. Theres always dangers lurking around the corner. Kimberly dana brings up a good point about some of the tribalism about it. Theres people who trust President Trump. Perhaps they looked at the of what hes promised and what hes delivered. Is it okay to be optimistic about having good outcomes . Trust but verify. Jesse what happened during the obama administration, billions of cash to the ayatollah. They had a really bad trade with bergdahl, handed over taliban members. They botched the paris climate deal, tpp. They botched pretty much everything they touched. And then trump comes in to try to broker a peace deal, gives up almost nothing. The same people that praised obama now are complaining. Clinton and carter went over there and built two nuclear reactorsaneive them millions of dollars. What happens just the other day . I think obama gave trump keys to the white house and said by the way, ive done nothing on north korea for eight years. Its the biggest problem. Youre going to have to deal with it. Good luck. Trump tries to bring peace to the peninsula and all he hears is 100 negativity. It destroys the media narrative that these this big warmonger. Its far from a done deal. There is potential here for a great deal. But the deputies have to handle the details now. No verification, no inspections, phaseout is up in the air. We dont know if theyre gto de. It has to be hammered out. The spirit of the summit was very strong in the political will between the two leaders appears to be very positive. I think now we let the little guys hammer it out and we will see what happens. Kimberly juan, the president use rhetoric that some thought was inflammatory but he was specific in saying he feels itart in terms of bringing north korea to the table were ultimately he used diplomacy to achieve these ends. Juan i read it differently. I think he said he regretted some of the language he is used in the past. Kimberly he said he thought it was helpful getting to this point. Juan i think he said he regretted it and understood it was provocative language, is what he said. To the larger point, i think the big news today is you know what, the pentagon didnt know he was offering to give up military exercises with the South Koreans. Maybe most importantly, the South Koreans didnt know it. The South Koreans have played a key role in trying to make this deal happen. They are surprised too. What you have is kind of seatofthepants donald trump working by the guts, saying i think this will work, this will work. What about the allies . This is something, when you think about it, you say as everyone els the panel has talked about, lets go back and look at past criticism of Something Like the iran deal. Oh, my gosh. At that point, it was said this would evidence of obamas inexperience, that he was a celebrity president and didnt understand the threats the world face. He got a deal that stopped iran from developing nuclear weapons. What you have here is no such thing from president no guarantee, no method of verification. No ground, nor assurances, no details. Jesse its been two days. Obama had eight years. Juan there was a signed deal, jesse. Thats what it said. Nothing from the North Koreans. What you get is when obama sat s i think this is 07, he said im willing to meet with people who represent repressive regimes becau its an opportunity to build bridges, to talk. Oh, my goodness. The republicans said whats he doing . He is coddling our enemies and alienating our allies. When trump does it, oh, this is historic, and the American Media is the enemy. Talk about hypocrisy. Jesse i think we have a strong, muscular, proamerican president like donald trump when he is willing to sit down and talk to americas enemies. There is a different posture there. Theres a difference between someone like that and some elect obama who did an apology tour, talk down american greatness in american exceptionalism. And his willing to go and talk to americas enemies and not cut deal. This is the difference. Kimberly doing an apology tour. Uan the waste way you see it s its team sports. I think let get away from it. We talked about this a moment ago. 130,000 People Living in gulags. Our tough, strong president. Kimberly what do you expect in 48 hours . Its ridiculous. You cant believe they would complain about something that happened that was very favorable for this country, for North Koreans in South Koreans, the world in general, give a chance for this to work. You dont like fire and fury. You dont like it ifto war. You dont like it if we sit down and engage in diplomatic relations. Juan of course i do. Dana if you are skeptical of all of this and you are looking for somebody they might be able to look tt you respect andst that is not a partisan but is an expert in the region, victor cha is a georgetown professor. He was going to be President Trumps ambassador to south korea. It didnt end up working. If you read his o the New York Times today, hes pretty upbeat. He likes the strategy. He thinks its headed in the right direction. Of course theres a list of the complicated questions that have yet to be answered. Overall hes quite upbeat and sitive. If you are looking for who is not partisan come hes a good one. Jesse it totally travel with me, juan. Im aittle bit concerned about suspending the war games or military readiness. I think you need to be prepared for the North Koreans, and thats why you have them. They are defensive in pre. See them as offense of, the North Koreans. We want our allies to be and on point. So we can rat those back up at any time. The big one isnt until spring 2019. I understand what he did it in order to encourage good welfare but its not something im crazy about happening. I want to these to continue. I think they are important very juan wise the president then saying that kim is a funny guy . Jesse well, he is funny looking. Greg i find it interesting that the same people who have spent decades pleading for dialogue are now having one delivered with a giant bow. I think thats wha really hurts. Trump is delivering what liberals have been promising and claiming is their expertise, and i think it disturbs and destroys their soul to s its amazing to me to see how many people are against peace. Return to the analogy of hostages. E are hostages in that country, right . What President Trump is doing is negotiating with the hostage taker which is exactly the protocol that you do. If it doesnt work, you know that trump gave the hard sell. Exhausted every option before you go in there and rescue the hostages. Thats the point. Rescuing theostages means they are going to die. This is the only way you can do it. I am optimc about it because i think trump is getting the north korean regime to think past the sell. The video is brilliant. Imo car. That was the corvette. Kim got the feel of what its like to be in an american car, freedom. Kimberly he took a look inside. He made the point. Going forward, whether or not this cia head intel to say it would be persuasive. President trumps popularity with voters on full display during key primary races. What it means for democrats and the midterms coming up next. Stay with us. Her salon was booked for weeks, until her laptop crashed morning. Having it problems .

Dana President Trumps influence appearing to loom large over key primary races. In south carolina, mark sanford losing to Katie Arrington who ran a campaign highlighting her opponents criticisms of the president. Sanfords 2009 scandal. President trump tweeting he is better off in argentina. Corey stewart edging out his opponent in that race. He will face off against Hillary Clintons former running mate, senator tim kaine. Could the truffect me more trouble for democrats this fall . Jesse, what do you think . Jesse my favorite, i should say second favorite democrat, doug schoen, has a good piece. The title is attacking trump is a losing strategy and both parties. He highlights a bunch of rate, not fringe, resistant type candidates. Mostomen, actually, in virginia, running for congress. Former cia officers, exnavy people. Democrat. They are not vicious trump haters. They are doing very well. It could bode well for democrats going into 2018. If you look at the Approval Ratings for President Trump, he said he is at 87 with republicans. 49 of independents. If you look at president obama at the same time in his presidency going into the midterms around june, he had about 10 less support among democrats. 15 points underwater with independence. It was a huge republican wave there. The economy is doing gre and you have the summit in singapore which is giving him headwinds on foreign policy. Democrats competing in red states that trump won. I think its a tough race for democrats. Dana the numbers jesse is mentioning. If President Trump gets above 50 ndepens which is possible, that it makes it even harder to attack the president because if you have a president thats about 50, you dont want to kick him. You want to drive his numbers down and it might be difficult. Kimberly great point and an important one that im sure everyone is paying attention to. These results were verytrong, very favorable for not just the g. O. P. But trumps political party, the republican party. Hes done well for the party. People whoave been supportive of him are doing well. Its great for the midterm elections coming up. The democrats need to pay attention. Its a key litmus test that we saw coming out of the results last night. When you look at these numbers and the strong turnout, showing they are motivated in light of the strong economic numbers, immigration policy, border security, all the things that build very well for President Trump and his policie policies. Dana greg, is it possible for someone like mark sanford, gone through all hes gone through, the trip to argentina hiking in the woods. He was a congressman. He was quite popular until this past year. Hes going to be on the story tonight with martha mccalla. As a possible try to separate President Trumps rhetoric from the tactics and try to run on i it . Greg its a very good point. The trump pdency is how my wife packs for three days. She packs for a month. He has packed two terms into 17 months. Gorsuch, taxes, north korea, jobs. The economy. You have the tweeting and the media constantly generating and magnifying things that occurred before the election, whether its russia or whatever. You have all this going on. It affects peoples emotions in a way that they feel they are afraid to support the president , and its wrong. I use a rowboat metaphor. If you like other country is going, you get any boat in your row because it looks like their safe waters ahead. If you dont like the direction of the boat, you cant roll. What challenging for these trumpers is that the water looks move, why arent you going to row . Mark sanford, why arent you rowing . Corker, why arent you rowing . What have you got against whats happening . Whats bothering you . Its his personality. Thats not enough. You dont have to like him. You are not marrying the guy. Dana they can leave or lose. They kept their principles, so theres that. Not all bad news for democrats, juan. In ohio, the senate and the governors races have all looked really good for the democrats at this point, ohio being a key state. President trump won it by eight points. I am throwing you a little carrot. Juan you dont need to. You look atanford, this morning he says he has no including what aboutng he said, cy . Are your tax returns . He said trump is a candidate, president who fans the flames of racial intolerance when he says its really on republicans to at some point stand up for their principles, because its not a matter of clear sailing when you say oh, you know, we were the party of free trade and you see trade were starting around the world. Or we were the party of immigration. And especially illegal immigration, and you see immigrants being demonized left and right, or we are the party that looks out for people, looks out for the working but we are going to take away your health care plan. We are not going to defend it even though thats the tradition. Oh, no, we tried to destroy obamacare. We failed. We have no other plan. What struck me greg was sanford for those things . Juan what struck me was the win by Corey Stewart in virginia. Corey stewart loves confederate monuments. I was surprised. I thought ed gillespie was a tremendidate f res. He squeaked by against Corey Stewart because Corey Stewart said i am a trump guy. He lost. Ess what. Kimberly you said President Trump fanning racial flames of injustice. Quite the contrary. If you look at unemployment numbers, Job Satisfaction with blacks, hispanics and women, they are at a record low in terms of them being able to be satisfied with the party, with the president , and having jobs. Juan the facts are, you look at not only blacks but latinos. Highly critical of President Trump. Mark sanford, a real conservative republican from south carolina. Dana they are pushing me. We have other stuff. Greg why is sanford where he is . You cant be riding in on a high horse on this one. Go hiking. Dana that would mean other people wouldve answered to their past things. Republican lawmakers and doj having a fht over allegations intimidn. We will exain next. The best simple dishes ever . Great tasting, hearthealthy california walnuts. So simple, so good.
