I call myself an entertainer. Ive never called myself an artist. A sunday silt dot down with one and only bette midler later in the show. Lets begin with secretary of state Rex Tillerson and his meetings with the chinese and russians after they announced tough new sanctions against north korea. The north Korean Foreign minister is at the conference in manilla as well. Bill neely is in the philippines for us with more. Good morning. Reporter good morning, willie. It is 26 countries against one at this summit with north korea, over its repeated Rex Tillerson here for the u. S. Is trying to pile the pressure on north korea, and everybody is waiting for that very first meeting when he sits in the same room for the first time as north koreas foreign minister. Will they acknowledge each other . Will they talk to or simply at each other . We understand they will not meet in any private capacity. But Rex Tillerson wants to punish north korea, and china, which is critical of its only ally, north korea is asking for calm. It says the situation is critical and it wants the u. S. Also to stop its, what they call provocative military exercises off the coast. And Rex Tillerson is talking to china and russia, and this will be the first meeting, and we just had it between Rex Tillerson and sergey, and its the first meeting since that. Russia, the u. S. And china agreed tough new economic sanctions. The u. S. Ambassador, to the u. N. , nikki haley, said dont let anybody be fooled into thinking we solved the problem, not even close, more action is required. That action wont come here, and north korea has been left knowing no doubt, its isolated and everybody is playing with fire. President trump is reacting overnight to the u. N. Santions as he enjoys a working vacation at his golf club in new jersey. Kelly odonnell has more. Policy priority for trump than north korea and containing its Nuclear Missile ambitions and the president is pleased by what happened at the United Nations and is claiming it as a victory for the u. S. , and already tweeting. China and russia tweeted with us, a very big financial impact. Economic sanctions package ever on north korea, over 1 billion in cost to nk. That steep price is not only a punishment but also intended to cut off funding needed by the regime to pursue its missile program. The president s reaction comes the president s reaction comes as he has an extended stay here at his home in bedminster, new jersey. He will host lawmakers and have meetings with security adviser, and he doesnt want anybody to call it a vacation, and hes out of the white house for a total of 17 days. Construction has come in and the furniture from the west wing has been removed and its part of a construction renovation and systems upgrade plan that was first put into place during the obama administration, and part of it done then, and this project being completed, and everybody is out of the west wing for the next couple of weeks. We will call it a working vacation then. Chuck todd is nbcs political director and moderator of meet the press. Good morning and good to see you. Good morning, willie. The santions, and particularly to get russia and china onboard, a Good Development for the Trump Administration and perhaps for the world. No, this is a big victory for the Trump Administration and a big victory for nikki haley in her job there. The question is going to be will china enforce the sanctions that have been agreed to. Its step china to veto, and that was a big deal. Look, sometimes china just abstains from some of these things and allows the sanctions to go through and they take a neutral posture, and they didnt do that here at all. Its a Huge Development to get china as far as you did. The next, i think, struggle is going to be to make sure china implements the sanctions. The north korean can has been kicked down the road by so many administrations, and you heard nikki haley say all options are on the table. Table. H. R. Mcmaster saying we cant overstate the tlelt north korea poses. Lindsey graham was in this studio this we can talking to matt, basically saying war is on the table. If they continue to push and test weapons, we have an obligation to protect the United States. Is this going to be the defining Foreign Policy crisis for this administration . Im not going to make that prediction there. I tnk three, certainly one of his two or three known Foreign Policy challenges that i think will haunt him throughout his time in office. Look, i think the struggle here is that this administration is having is no different than the last two on north korea which is look, north korea doesnt believe the military options on the table, so thats a piece of leverage that i think our government doesnt know how to use on this, i think thats why youve seen an attempt to try to put some emphasis on that again, because i dont think the north koreans believe it, because you look at it strategically, south koreans dont want to see the japanese are uncomfortable with that kind of talk, and never mind, obviously the chinese are, too. The United States is not in an easy place here because there is a regional agreement on what to do, and theres regional agreement theres a until you have a regional agreement on what to do, the United States is stuck in this spot. And the attorney general is not on the good side of trump, and President Trump had been attacking him, and then back on the president s good side because of a press conference and he talked about leaks and warning the media they might exercise the administration and the Justice Department might exercise subpoena power against the media to find out who the sources are. What is the significance of the press conference, chuck . Is there any chance you or i or anybody else would submit to such a sup . I dont think any of us would submit to a subpoena. Number one, they did not take any questions in front of cameras on the record. To me that told me they didnt have any answers. Number two, it feels as if that press conference was for an audience of one as far as Jeff Sessions is cone conflaytion going on. Theres espionage. Conflation going on. There are water cooler leaks out of the white house which are not violating any law. These two things i think got conf these two things got contphraeutd. Contphraeutd. Needs to inspire more loyalty in staff. The espionage issue is a separate issue, thats where the law is on the administrations side when it stphaoefp the law is on the administrations side when it comes to leaking secrets and things like that. We will look for more when chuck talks about broken politics in america with senator jeff flake of arizona, and jerry brown. A u. S.

Thats bette midler. Look at some of the video we saw in tulsa, severe wind damage caused by a possible tornado or microburst. There were more than two dozen injuries reported because of the damaging winds. You could see trees down across the roads there and there was a group of people stuck in a restaurant because of a roof collapse because of all the wind damage, so certainly a big story tulsa itself picked up more than four inches of rain, so we did see some of the flooded streets as well. We are seeing some of the heavier showers moving through tulsa, but the band of heaviest rain is move into southeast oklahoma and arkansas, too. We are going to see more scattered showers and storms redevelop this afternoon. Yesterday some parts of kansas and into missouri picked up four to six inches of rain.

Meanwhile, here at 30 rock somebody saw a mouse and we evacuated for a week. And then a homeowner secures camera shows the man walking up with a pair of packages, and he spots the snake and drops those packages like a bad habit when he sees it at the front door. Thats what i would do. You are not a snake guy . No, are there snake guys . No, there are guys that are not terrified of snakes. I am terrified.
