Confidence on where it lands. If you see fins on the nose of any of these things, they may have some sort of guided Precision System inside and thats even scarier. Question, two technical question. I love youre here to help us cover this. The distance, the range, the accuracy is one set of matters. Perhaps the most important sensitivity matters is what they can put on that missile. Whether or not they can bring it in successfully, right. You have the rv, the reentry vehicle. That May 14th Launch did Successfully Reenter the atmosphere. We dont know if they miniaturizeed a Nuclear War Head. We dont know if its small enough to put on the cone on the tip of a missile. Talk to some folks in the pentagon they think maybe, perhaps. Others in the general assessment within the Intelligence Community they havent achieved that yet. Heres the issue, the minute
want to make sure that the United States and south korea and our allies arent threatening the ability of this dynasty to continue leading the country. But, you know, nobody in the administration while this administration has criticized the strategic patience of the Obama Administration and other administrations, no one is talking about Regime Change in north korea. So the signal that the americans are sending to kim jongun is stay there if you want, stop messing around with the Nuclear Weaponry. For north korea they really believe in the long term because theres not actually a formal treaty ending the korean war the belief is in the long term the only thing that guarantees your survival is Nuclear Weapons and you have to demonstrate that you have that capability and they look around the world and see what happened to a lot of other regimes who, frankly, didnt have the capability and they are no longer around. Earlier i was told theres
still a lot of room for sanctions particularly on chinese banks that do business or the chinese which is where north korea gets most of its money for trade. And that the chinese have shown some willingness and they had shown some willingness on the side of the iran deal to not support rogue nations if it meant greater invitation of chinese into the global economy. So theres more pressure to be brought on the chinese . Yes. What weve seen in the last week or so is that the time where you saw President Trump saying were going to give the chinese an opportunity to fix this problem for us, that that tone is changing. You saw beginning this past week some sanctions on chinese bank, on a few chinese citizens. I expect youll see more of that and that this administration will begin look at a wider range of entities who they can go after, and i would also expectPresident Trump and president xi will have some very challenging conversations on the sidelines of the g20. On april 17th, when mike pence said the era of strategic patience is over is it useful to put these red lines it is better to change your policy and not set rules or deadlines and people break rules and force your hand. You dont set a red line unless youre certain you intend to enforce it because otherwise you just the United States looks feckless. You have to be very careful with how you describe things and what you say about u. S. Policy because our credibility is really on the line in these situations. Im glad we you had to talk to on this important day. Lindsey ford is with the policy institute. When we come back President Trump will meet with russian president Vladimir Putin on

President trump is gearing up for his first face to face meeting with russian president Vladimir Putin. The white house confirmed two leaders will meet on friday on the sidelines of the g20 economic summit in hamburg, germany. Possible topics of Discussion Syria and ukraine but will the russian interference in the 2016 president ial election come up . Joining me is clint watts National Security analyst and former fbi special agent. Clint, President Trump is one possibly of a handful of americans who has not embraced the idea that russia involved itself in the 2017 election and that poses a big problem because this is a real opportunity. The president of america, the president of russia face to face about the thing that americans are very concerned about. Does he ask him about it . Does he warn him off . No. I dont think hell even bring it up. If he brings it up hes essentially going against his
base. Hes put himself in a bizarre situation where if he brings up meddling, he is going to agitate his base who he denies the russians had anything to do with it. The base thinks its an excusation of the left. The deep state and the left which is what youll hear from the russians. Its important to point that out. The other part he can bring it up too much without also looking at his allies and nato. Hes been very harsh towards germany and angela merkel. They are dealing with the same meddling right now that we dealt with a year ago. If he brings it up in that context hes got his hands tied. And as france in its recent election. The base is 30 of 40 of americans depending on which poll you look at which leave a whole lot of americans who have a valid expectation that the president of the United States will confront the president of russia about this. If he does not what happened . If he does not bring it up it
looks like hes under putins thumb. If he goes in against the strongest leader in the world, doesnt bring it up at all or even gives concessions, russians want their base given back to them. If he gave us that up or coughs it up hes also going to have his hands tied back home. He keeps claiming he wants to deal on syria. He wants russia to ally with us on syria. Russia has played our hand whether its obama or trump now masterfully. They want sanctions on ukraine. They want sanctions lifted on Oil Production and the rest of europe is sitting there saying we want an american president who backs up nato, something that, again, President Trumps embrace of has been tepid. Its a bizarre situation. They never stated it is what we want. What does the trump team think they are getting from all this deal making or negotiations . Is it really just about isis and syria because its going fall. Were in raqqah now. Mosul is done. What do we want from the russians. Why would we deal with the russian physician they just meddled in our election. They havent stated that position. If they havent stated position or going in for meetings or to make a deal the u. S. Will get burped by a smart putin. For all of 20th century and 21st century the u. S. President was always the most powerful man in the world. In these few years many believe the russian president may be more powerful. Whats the benefit of taking this meeting if theres so much uncertainty what President Trump can and is willing to say to Vladimir Putin no one can say what is it. This has been going on since the campaign. Align yourself so strongly and passionately at times withVladimir Putin when you cant clearly state what it is thats good for america. We always talk about America First. What is America First about this . They just meddled in our elections and we didnt do anything about it. Were still debating if it happened if youre President Trump. Thats one place they are in the same place. Put said maybe some russians interfered, patriotic russians but it wasnt at the direction of the russian government and President Trumps response tends to be maybe some russians interfered, maybe a 400 pound guy, maybe somebody else, they are on the same page strangely on the surface on the same page but interestingly enough some of the stories that came out last week from the Wall Street Journal potentially spokesman on the edges of the Trump Campaign reaching out trying to find out if Russian Hackers got into Hillary Clintons lost email. If you dont believe the russians did anything to do with it why would you reach out to them to find those emails. Its a double standard. They will get burned. What will happen President Trump wont come away with a big deal, he wont look like he has the upper hand with putin and then this whole how was cards will collapse. Always good to see you. Thank you for coming in on a holiday. President trumps meeting with putin comes as his legislative agenda appears to be stalled on capitol hill. I feel like ive said that before. Senate republicans are trying to figure out if theres way to move forward with their Obamacare Repeal and replace which was pulled because it didnt have support to pass. Republicans are hoping to take action soon on tax reform, infrastructure, on energy, on other issues. Joining me is Washington State democratic congressman who is a member of the judiciary and budget committees. Thank you for joining us. Happy 4th. Nothing seems to happen until this Health Care Bill gets
sorted out. It looks like it will be the other. The other depending on who you talk to may be some reaching across the aisle to democrats to say we cant seem to pass this bill without democratic help. Do you think that enough democrats are open to rewriting a Health Care Bill that would involve the repeal of obamacare but get you farther than this senate bill would get us . Democrats have always been ready to make the Affordable Care act better. Theres numerous amendments introduced and bills that have been introduced into the house but republicans have been focused on repealing without a Replacement Plan and thats what you see in the senate. That wont fly with the American People. You tell americans they will have 22 million of them cut off from health care and, you know, you think about cutting medicaid. Medicaid pays 30 or 40 of our Nursing Homes across the country. 60 of disabled children depend on medicaid. This is a travesty of a bill. Were willing to work on making
the Affordable Care act better, moving in the direction of something that makes Quality Affordable Health Care available to all americans. The question i guess whats the move in that direction . There have been some, getting in trouble on twitter for this, some have said that some democrats have decided that the best road to go down here, given the lack of success that republicans are having with this is nothing. To just leave it, let republicans deal with this. Well, i think, first of all, we have to make sure we protect the care we have for americans across this country. Thats why only 17 of americans like this bill because it doesnt do anything to make their health care better. So thats the first thing we have to do. If the republicans fail at this, then i think we as democrats should come forward and say here are some things that we can do right now to make health care more available and affordable for all americans. One example of that would be
allowing medicare to negotiate Prescription Drug prices. Thats an easy fix that should have democratic and republican support. Let me talk about the trumpputin meeting thats going to happen in theory on friday. If donald trump acknowledges like pretty much all americans have that there was meddling by russians in the election he has no choice but to confront Vladimir Putin with that. Tell him what knees and tell him to stop it. Donald trump does not do that. He doesnt acknowledge that. Either 30 or 40 of americans will be happy with donald trump or 60 will be unhappy. Not to bring up the giant cant be called Elephant In The Room any more. This something that intelligence agencies, American People across the country recognize, have seen happen and donald trump as president of the United Statesshould be showing his power if hes going to have a meeting with Vladimir Putin bringing this up front and center and saying we are going to take some steps around this. But, of course, he is not even complying with some of the requirements of the investigation thats going on and hes being investigated for obstruction of justice. Its a sad day hell take this meeting and not bring up this incredibly important issue that affects the american democracy and integrity of our elections. Thank you so much for joining us today. Ine few moments ill talk to a congressman from new york about the g20 summit and the question that made Venus Williams break down at a wimbledon Press Conference.

Colonel jack the concept its an icbm that could travel 4,000 miles and hit the continental United States does that change your analysis of this . Well, it does. We knew before it could travel about 4100 miles. Hans nichols did the calculations and said how far it could go. But it means Something Else now. It means that they are well on the path of getting a weapon that can get all the way to the continental United States, the lower 48. Not just going the 500 miles, the definition says, getting out of the atmosphere and reentering it. Hans nichols also had a very interesting observation too about reentry because whats really important is to able to control the war head once it reenters the Atmosphere Site can be targeted towards a particular place. The last one they fired, not the one yesterday, but the one earlier, a couple of weeks ago
did not have fins as it a terminal guidance system. We dont know if this one did either, but its very big. Its a very big deal they have an icbm. The next big deal as i was talking to hans about is you fly a missile somewhere, can it be accurate . Can it be targeted . Kit reenter properly. And most importantly can they put a Nuclear War Head on it . The last one is most important. If they can put a Nuclear War Head on
