The avoiding talking about ending his Nuclear Program. Sixth, dont try to be friends with kim jongun. He killed his uncle, his halfbrother and hundreds of others. He is a despot. Those people up in canada, by the way, are our friends. And thats hardball for now. Thanks for being with us. Msnbcs special coverage of the summit with Brian Williams and Rachel Maddow starts right now. Two volatile leaders. They have tested each other. Rocket man should have been handled a long time ago. Theyve taunted each other. Kim jongun issued a direct response. I will surely and definitely tame the mentally deranged u. S. Dotard with fire. Now, theyre moments away from meeting for the first time facetoface. I hope the upcoming meeting in singapore represents a bright new future to the world. With the stability of the region and the world ....
Cannot script. victor cha, thank you very much for that. in terms of what s going to be happening over the course of this next hour, brian, what are we expecting? we just wanted to bring obviously all of this is fluid. so if we can bring folks what we reexpecting, president trump has, as we said, arrived at the cappella hotel. that s the backdrop for tonight s meeting. top of the hour, that s 9:00 p.m. eastern time. the photo op that will in and of itself make history. the handshake between these two that so many are looking to see at 9:15 eastern time. they go into their first and perhaps only bilateral meeting. again, notable because it will be intimate. just the two leaders. and their respective translators, not the usual note takers, and sometimes alyst and specialists who sit in on that kind of thing. then at 10:00 p.m. eastern time, their aides will be invited to join them. 11:30 eastern time, the two ....
Don t have war anymore. even americans might say why do we have our troops in south korea, didn t we end the war, let s bring the boys home. that really just undercuts the rationale for our troop presence. that s the giveaway, isn t it? if they push in that direction in the first couple hours that s what he s pushing for. that s what he s saying by saying we need regime security. and the japanese are very scared of that. another one of our veteran analysts has joined us, that s jeremy bash, former chief of staff at cia, former chief of staff at pentagon. so his bona fides are clear and on point for this conversation. jeremy, if you ve been listening to the conversation, then you know several people have made the point that this is before the first hand shaikh, before the first photograph of the two together victory north korea. a summit is not an accomplishment for the american president, brian. it is a major accomplishment for kim jong un. in fact, the spectacle of seeing th ....
They have a plutonium processing facility at yongbyon. they have probably a very sophisticated uranium enrichment program in which they are spinning cascades, centrifuges in which they are building additional capability to develop nuclear weapons through that path. they have long-range intercontinental ballistic muscles which can hit chicago and denver. the only yard chic, brian, which which we can measure success of this entire process is not whatever statement comes out tonight. it s whether those missiles, those weapons, those nuclear faciti are removed and the danger is removed the threat to the united states and our allies. that s the only metric upon which we can measure whether this is at all successful. jeremy, let me ask you another math question, and that is this. take nukes out of the conversation. seoul is a metropolitan area give or take 35 miles from the border. how many artillery tubes are embedded in those mountains ....
This is an msnbc special report. the united states/north korea nuclear summit. here now areacow and brian wi and good evening. we are one hour away from a history-making moment in singapore, the first time a sitting american president has agreed to meet with the head of north korea. by loose definition, we re looking at a millennial and a man in his 70s. both have nuclear weapons, though both are from markedly different places. the president has chosen to take a risk this evening and begin with a session alone with kim jong-un with only interpreters present, not the usual note takers to record what s being said. more on that later as we look at the president s motorcade now en route. for starters, we re also looking at an intelligence gap between the two tonight, and this is what we mean. they know more about our leader than we know about the enigmatic and cloistered north korean dictator. for starter, our president has an unfiltered twitter account. ....
