down with kim jong-un again, wanting to have that photo opportunity, wanting to come back with some type of victory, whether it's, you know, a peace agreement, something that he can play up, just like he did with the return of u.s. troop remains, he pushed that for months after the singapore summit, saying that this was a huge victory for the trump administration, when there were constant reports that north korea wasn't fulfilling any of the other broader parts of that verbal agreement or whatever you want to call it from the spro singapore summit. so i think this is, in his mind, an opportunity for him to reconvene with kim jong-un, sort of reestablish that firm relationship. and no matter what comes out of it, whether it's concrete or not, to at least say he's improved ties with north korea. >> and of course, for the domestic audience here, all of this will be playing out next week, trump over there, michael cohen in front of that congressional committee getting public testimony. two things thereby simultaneously. thank you both for being with us. and you won't want to miss this.
it's been president trump for the most part wanting to sit down with kim jong-un again, wanting that photo oopportunity. wanting some type of victory, whether it's a paesz agreement, something he can play up just like he did with the return of u.s. troop remains. he pushed that for months saying this was a huge victory for the trump administration when there were constant reports north korea wasn't fulfilling any of the other broader parts of that agreement or whatever you want to call it. it's a chance to reestablish that relationship and no matter whether it's concrete or not, to at least say that he's improved ties with north korea. >> and all of this will be playing out next week. trump over there, michael cohen in front of that congressional committee. two things are going to be simultaneously. thank you both for being with
>> what do you make of the president saying this morning summit number two is happening? >> well, i think it's been in the works for a while. i mean, there is no doubt that we all know president trump wants to see kim jong-un again, and kim jong-un has been sending very nice letters, very praiseworthy, and really thanking president trump. now, poppy, to me, the question is, is all members of the senior staff in the administration on the same script? is john bolton with president trump in welcoming these overtures. it's also important, secretary of state pompeo also on the same wave length. because it seems to me there is a bit of a disconnect between the president and his senior staff. >> joseph, let me ask you this very simple question. what concrete concession or move has north korea made on
kim jong-un again, does that mean it's more than like they will have a second summit? >> i think they will. clearly kim wants a summit. president trump wants to have a summit. so eventually it's going to occur. it may not occur this month, which some people have been speculating about in new york at the u.n. general assembly meeting. >> are things working so far? >> things are working in a sense. president trump before he went to singapore for the summit with kim jong-un said he was going to give the north koreans this one shot opportunity to do the right thing. so there's not been as much pressure on the north koreans, we're not pursuing sanctions with vigor. we ha and kim is softening his response. you have to say things are going in the right direction. >> nikki haley accused -- how is

committee. congressman, nice to see you. thank you for being with us. this attack, the warning of an attack in hawaii raises so many questions. they suggested the president needs to have a conversation without conditions with kim jong-un. the president wouldn't tell the "wall street journal" if he has had such a conversation but do you think it would be a good idea to have an informal chat between president and the north korean leader? >> if there was going to be a conversation, i don't know what other option there would be other than a conversation. it is possible over the course of the initial conversation, he may be able to discuss pre conditions for follow-up. whether it be president trump speaking with kim jong-un again, cabinet level appointments here in the united states speaking to cabinet level leadership in north korea. going into the first
