among his guest, susan collins and michael anton, the president's former national security counsel spokesman. now cuomo prime full-titime beg0 p.m. eastern. that's it for me. thanks very much for watching. i'm wolf blitzer in "the situation room". erin burnett "outfront" starts right now. >> breaking new, president trump puts his trust in kim jong-un and that's not how kim though spinning the deal. plus the movie trailer style video trump gave kim. we know who was behind it. what were they planning? also breaking this hour, polls closing tonight in five states. another big primary night. trump picking a fight with mark sanford. could he lose? because he took on trump? "outfront" tonight, the big

question, is trust enough for nuclear deal with a country that has promised to give up nuclear weapons before and broken its word every single time because trump says he trusts kim. trump is on air force one on his way home, tweeting op board, quote, great process was made on the denuclearization of north korea. we'll getting the remains of their great heroes. no missiles shot. no research happening. sites closing. got along great with kim jong-un, who wants to see wonderful things for his country. as i said today, anyone can make war, but only the most courageous can make spapeace. let's highlight this. no research happening. sites closing. these are huge things for the president of the united states to say. to put his reputation and legacy on the line for without any mention of verifying anything. becaus today, he said as clearly as he can, he trusted

kim, period. >> do do trust him. i do. >> the answer is i do. kim has promised annihilation of the united states of america, but trump seems to think that now is just water under the bridge. >> he's got a great personality. he's a you know, funny guy. he's a very smart guy. a fwraet negotiator. he loves his people. not that i'm surprised by that. but he loves his people. >> many would be surprised by that because the united nations says in 2014 alone, up to 120,000 north koreans were in the country's four main political prisons alone subjected to starvation, torture and rape. hundreds of thousands of north koreans have died in those prisons. millions have starved to death under the kim regime. acorying to a think tank arm, in the first five years of quote supreme leader, kim as ordered

the execution of 340 people which includes murdering individuals with antiaircraft machine guns and poisoning his own half brother. you get the point. this is not a person you trust. which is why the joipt agreement matters so much. now it's important to note the statement does include commitment by kim to commit to quote complete denuclearization. it does not mention the words verify or verification when it comes to keeping that promise one singime. which frankly shocking when you listen to what president trump said about the iranian nuclear deal. >> the iran deal was one of f the worst and most one sided transactions. the united states has ever entered into. frankly, that deal is an embarrassment to the united states

>> we didn't try to count how much it's in the full deal, which is 159 pages. if you go back to the early draft, it had e word verify in their twice and there was a reason for that. the obama administration was loud and clear that it needed verification because it did not trust the murderous dictators of iran. >> this deal is not built on trust. it is built on verification. what's important to trust. understand. everything in this agreement is verifiable. >> and now, president trump, one of the iran deal's biggest haters. the guy who just threw anytime trash, is trusting a dictator he has met one time for fives. whose latest sizzle wheel showed the annihilation of washington, d.c. today, receiving a sizzle reel in return from president trump with a very different

>> featuring president donald trump. and chairman kim jong-un. in a meeting to remake history. shine in the sun. a new world can begin today. one of respect and good will. be part of that world. >> i don't know what's up with the horses. i guess we could just start there. go to singapore right now. will ripley is there. you're just getting word of how this summit is playing in north ko and it's very significant. do you think the headline mentions the world denuclearization? absolutely not. it's a side note in north korea's reporting. they're talking about a new era ofations with the united states. they're talking about the end. that president trump has end

kate kated perhaps the pullout of american troops. they're b ooempb mentioning that they believe there should be a change in the law in the united states. the laws in regulations to basically enforce the retor promises that president trump haed that right now are rhetoric, but the north koreans want it to be concrete law, which may indicate the trust doesn't go both ways. obviously there's a lot of mistrust on both sides going into this. all of the expert said that any nuclear d with north korea, the key is is going to be a specific timeline. revealing how many nuclear w warheads they have, how long it's going to take and what it's going to look like. none of that was in this deal and unsurprisingly, north korean state media not talking about that, but they did talk about the warm friendship growing between president trump, kim jong-il on. also interesting, they talked about the fact president trump invited chairman kim to the white house.

chairman kim invited the president to north korea saying he's going to go at some point. talk about a way to further legitimize the country than a visit by the united states. >> thank you very much, will ripley. hooe been to north korea 20 times. he's saying it's not b about trust ch let's go to the republican is that right. he's going to be attending all further negotiations with north korea because he's chair of the senate working group on north korea negotiations. thank you very much. i appreciate your time, nart. what's your reaction to trump? he said no human being could be no clear. i frus him, i trust him, i triz headline. they're talking b about how he's saying he's going to stop the joint military exercises and that the united states should change its laws to show it's going to keep its end of the

promise. does the u.s. need b to be tougher here and verify? >> the first thing that strikes me is i'm shocked sitting here. i'm not sure what you want for this president. but look, this guy has done something that is historical and that's bringing these people to the table to talk about denuclearization of the peninsula. i've talkeded to the president numerous times. i'm tell iing you he is not goi glasses. he knows what verification is. he knows the problems he had with the iran deal and he is absolutely committed to get airtight verification on this. in addition to that, he and the vice president, the secretary of state have all told me they're going submit it to the united

states senate for a treaty ratification. we are going to see there's verification if we get to an agreement. >> i don't need to go through his record with you and anyone else, but you know it better than anybody. here's what the president of the united states is saying about kim jong-un. >> i do trust him. he trusts me and i trust him. >> you trust him. >> i do. the answer is i do. >> you don't have any concern about him being so adam ant trusting a murderous dictator he's met for five hours one time?

that the president of the united states is going to -- he understanded verification. we are going to have it or not have a deal. two things have to happ. you have to have good faith on both parties as they work towards that objective. we've had a bad history with this day. we have a different person in charge of this country now than his father, but none the less -- >> camps with rape and starvation and poisons his half brother and orders the murder of 43341 people. his father and grandfather did.

>> he has dom some raem, really bad thing, but he is headed down a different road than he was. 120 days ae s ago, we and they head today a very,ad place. at is n the situation today and president trump, you have got to give him i know this is going to be tough f him, a smidgen of credit. this is a different path. he said all these things and you're saying i have no rose colors glasses. here's what trump said about kim. >> we have developed a very special bond. he's a funsmart y.>> very talen. anybody that takes over a situation like he did at 26 years of age and is able to run

it and run itd tough, i'm sure that's an unfortunate choice of words. does he not mean think of those things. funny, smart, leadoffs his u okay with that?? >> i wasn't at the tame table. he's the only person i know that has seat sat down with kim jong-un and when it come to his sense of humor, he swrunlged it the way he did. you take this out of context, go back and pull the tapes of f what donald trump has said about him before. put the two together. certainly, for sure. which one are we supposed to believe? >> you're supposed to believe that kim jong-un has done some

very bad things. if you want to believe the president, that the man has a sense of humor, so be it. i know you people are trying to put a negative spin on this, but this is an entirely different situation than we 120 days ago. give him a break. at least some credit for saying they're no longer testing. >> i don't have to say is that right i don't think we're putting a rough spin. i think we're seeing the president of the united states came out of a meeting and said i trust a guy with the record he has. that's what happened. that's not spin. the facts. so what i'm asking you is why are those facts the way they are? is it okay he did that? do you support it? i'm just playing f you whate did. >> well, you will recall that in the past, leaders have said we're going to trust, but verify. i can tell you that is exactly where the president of the united states is today. so what you're seeing is that what we heard from john kerry and obama is where president trump is going to go. he's going to have a different version, but you're saying he

agrees with that sentiment, not the sentiment he is currently expressing? >> i don't think simply by saying you trust somebody that youi exclude the fact you're going to verify what they're telling you. we've been done this road, a lot of us have been through the situation with the iranian deal and we were very disappointed. with the regime that they put in place for verification.it is go verification or not a deal and not ratified by the united states senate. >> because the record here, 2005, promise we're getting rid of nuclear weapons, north korea does, a year later, the first nuclear test and blow up the cooling tower and a year later, the second test. we have precedent here. and precedent is that north korea lies. that's the precedent. i don't think you should take that. not talk to them.

and try to them to mend their ways, which obviously the president of the united states did. he was the one that was responsible for putting the maximum pressure campaign on and he brought them to the table as this happened here and you've got to give him credit for that. if we stayed ton world we were going, the it was going to end in a very k very bad place. >> still short on time, but i want to be clear. kim has, they have also wanted to talk to the president. he had gotten to the table. that is important but it isn't as if they wanted to come to the table before. they've wanted to come to the b table. he's been able the put terms on it that make it worth his while, but to act as if kim couldn't be braug to the table would be unfair. >> you know, if indeed, kim is acting not in good faith, we're going to know it quickly. this president is a person who does not tolerate that sort of thing at all. i guarantee you, if kim's obl

objective was to get him to the b table and talk a little bit then go about his way the way he was going before he is headed, going to be very disappointed when he finds out what this presid going to do. >> you'been talking to him. that's what you've been told and i thank you for your time tonight. and next, trump's flashy pitch for peace. we know now who was behind the video with the horses galloping through the water. plus, poles closing in north virginia and south carolina. could mark sanford lose his seat because he took trump on and breaking news. a major blow to the president tonight. a federal judge approving a deal that the president has railed. vehemently against. dear future us, we have a mission:

...to give you the protein you need wiof the sugar you don't. i'll take that. [cheers] 30 grams of protein and 1 gram of sugar. new ensure max protein. in two great flavors. we know who produced the movie style trailer. it was to win kim over at the sum. it was trump's national security counsel. it was to show quote the benefits of complete denuclear saix and a vision of a peaceful and prosperous korean peninsula. the video is raising eyebrows.

it was very propaganda feeling. very strange in many ways. here it is. f >> two men. two leaders. one destiny. a story about a special moment in time when a man is presented with one chance that may never be preeted. what will he choose? to show vision and leadership? or not. >> and you know, we had showed you the horses galliuping throuh the water, i guess inspired by -- not sure. "outfront" now, nicholas burns, retired u.s. army major general marx and phil mudd. the video at the least is unconventional, but so is all of this. it doesn't mean that it didn't going to be effective. are you surprised that the national security counsel would take time and cost to put this together? >> yes. my eyebrows are raised about this, erin. first of all, let me say, i

think president trump was right to have this summit. i give him credit. the senator mischallenged us that he got us this far, but this is a strange video. if this is the video they showed, kim jong-un doesn't speak much english. his people don't, but what really bothered me the most was these two men athe center, president trump and kim jong-un, the two men who should be at the center are kim jong-un and president moon of south korea. they're the two people who have to decide whether the koreans live in separate states or eventually unify. i think it's the wrong imagery. it puts us into a situation where we're not talking about our own allies and as you know, when they announced the cancellation of the military exercises, which president trump wrongly called provocative war games, we didn't tell the south koreans and japanese, so we're not going to succeed here. if we cut the japanese and south koreans off, we've got to include them in these and i think the video perfectly i lly

illustrate what the problem is seeing this. >> of course that video was awe l all b about trump and kim. introducing trump and kim. it made it about two individuals and obviously the leerds of those two countries. general, i want to play another brief clip for you. it was four minutes, but here's another cl. >> will this leader choose to advance his country, be the hero of his people? will he shake the hand of peace? and a enjoy prosperity like her? a great life. or more isolation. which path will be chosen? >> will he shake the hand of f peace then trump's face appears. general, what do you make of this? >> look, i have to tell you, i'm okay with the video. i disagree with the ambassador that it necessarily excludes the japanese and it necrily excludes the south koreans.

i think what it does is it's a very personal message to this very enigmatic, isolated leader of the hermit kingdom message in full color that says look, i think there can be a path going forward and the choice is is up you. what you do, kim, is important at this point. and oh, by the way, the fact that we didn't mention the other nationings that are a part of let's be frank. doesn't talk about the chinese. doesn't talk about six party talks. it doesn't talk about those members that are involved truly in the structure of what we have on the peninsula now. i think our priority, it's fair to say that this peninsula is not going t be reunified. i think the first step in this process is something that approached some pressumeasureme around denuclear saix.

ou how this nation can have some access to prosper thety. >> and phil, what do you make of the context of this. of trump call iing the joint exercises with south korea tht k have been going on like clock work as provocative, which is a word north koreases to describe them. sayihey're not going happen because they're provocative. that's a stunning step. >> sure, but he's playing to his audience. i'm with general marx on this. let me take you back to 1985. my first job was as a profile. profiling foreign leaders for american officials to say not only were the foreign president come from in materials of his schooling, but what was his psychological motivation. i think what happened here was profile pg. the u.s. government says what motivates this foreign leader. they're clearly in my mind say ing this foreign leader, kim jonlgen, likes to be the big man on campus. we're going to tell him in his grandiose sense in this place in

history, he can be the big man on campus! so you think this video accomplishes that. >> i think this is a fascinating case. >> i don't know how kim jong-un would receive this. what i'm saying it's too simpic to say it's propaganda video. i think there's a lot b about profiling here from american government experts. it tells me h about america as it does b about kim jong-un. >> ambassador, in terms of what the president saying about kim jong-il en, i played a few of these comments before, but he has been very glowing when whatever you wan to say, whether it's what he thinks or pandering to what he thinks is kim's need. for accolades. here's some of what trump has been saying. >> he's a very talented man. >> he's got a great personality. he's a you know, funny guy. a very smart guy. a great negotiator. loves his people. his country. his country d love him. his people, you see the ferver, they have a great ferver. i think he wants to do a great job for north korea. he wants to do what's right.

he was really very gracious. i think he trusts me and i trust him. >> so that's what kim jong-un gets then the canadian prime minister, b longest border with the united states, justin trudeau, calls him meek, mild, dishonest wea after trudeau says canada will fight back against u.s. tariffs this turn. today, trump took it a step further call him on no objection. so we hear that about trudeau and what we just heard about him. does i matter that's how we're treating friend and foe? >> it does. it's a jarring juxtaposition. i understand president trump wants to be polite to kim jong-un as they meet. you wouldn't want the american president to be impolite to him. but i think the fawning over kim, i trust him. i like him. the smile. this is a dictator. he's an evil tick tater. he's a murderer of his own people. look at the 2014 u.n. human rights report wted him.

i think in negotiations, erin, it's all about leverage. and we need leverage and part of s about being austere. and not giving in to kim jong-un and rewarding him. then you look at our ally's relationship. n union and canada.artners are the largest investors, the european union. former ambassador to nato, canada and the 27 europeans. what happened in quebec was a disaster for the western alliance and frankly, appalling that an american president would be so critical of our closest friend and neighbor and that's canada. we're feeling that ramification. thank you very much. and next, break iing news. poll just closing in virginia and south carolina. the republican incumbent there, mark sanford, could lose his seat. the reason, president trump. plus, breaking news. rod rosenstein threatening to call on the house to investigate it own staff f tonight. why? melatonin is the body's own sleep ingredient.

republican who's never lost a race on such a personal level? probably because of this. >> when the president says i wish i could hit you in the face if not why don't you do it and i'll pay your legal fees, that's a problem. >> what theresides talking about going back and renegotiating nafta, i think is, it would be catastrophic. >> ipg ta lot of people would say kay, the guy said something stupid. a lot f people were disappointed with the way he said it. >> david is "outfront." we're awaiting results to come in. the president making a big move going against incumbent on force one on his way back from singapore. says he hasn't slept for 25 hours. this was important enough for him to weigh in on. could he really lose because of trump?

>> of course the president weighed in at the last moment. i don't know how many votes you can move three hours before the polls close, but remember, what may happen here is that if nobody gets majority o the votes, thi goes off to a run off. just keep sanford from blowing swoo a run off, it can have a big impact. but he surgeon ly think that isa a potential loss was one of the possible outcomes here, it's why he spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on television advertising, something he doesn't normally do at all. hasn't spent a dime in five years. you were right, it is because of the anti trump rhetoric. so so what would a sanford, polls closed here, it's a tight race. >> he could win this. >> so he could end up winning. that would be significant in its own right. if he loses, what does this mean for republicans? you have an incumbent who's never lost a race before. who takes on trump and loses. if that's the case, what does it mean? >> right and it's not a stand

alone item. remember martha robe, the republican congresswoman who was just forced sw ed into a run ofn because she faced a challenge inside her party about her anti trump stance after the access hollywood tape. if mark sanford goes to a run off, this is clear message once again. this is donald trump's republican party. and more important apparently an any issue set where you may be showing your conservative credentials, what the party voters would be demanding, how i would read that reality is that faelt feelty to trump is inside today's republican primary, t most active, devoted member of the party. >> all right thank you very much and if the results come in and we can call it, david's going to be back on that moment. in the meantime, i want to go to joan walsh. along with former special substantiate to george w. bush. trump's approval ratings among republicans at the 500 day mark

are incredibly high. 87%. second highest of any republican since world war ii. george w. bush. the only one who did better and that was right after 11. which obviously was a turning point for the entire nation. trump comes out slams sanford. okay. as david points out. three hours before. but he's made his feelings clear. can he sink sanford? i think he possibly can. i don't say it's a done deal. i think sanford has a strong chance. he's very popular. but i think win or lose, we know this is donald trump's party. this is what we heard from bob corker today challenging his senate colleagues to stand up against tariffs and stand up for something that many of them personally believe is important and challenge the president. they won't do it. so i think we are seeing even if sanford survives, he survey vooifs bse he's popular. >> six race or something like

that. and plenty of controversy. >> was r forgiven and won a congressional seat. >> david brings up martha robe. alabama congresswoman was forced into a runoff that's going to be next month. she was critical of the trump access hollywood tape. that doesn't seem like a controversial thing to be critical of, but it is for some. our never trump republican scoot doomed? >> i think there's a difference between robe and sanford. i think robe did criticize the president, but has come back and voted with hisswthe difference there are only four republicans in the house who voted less with president than sanford. so from that perspective hooex one of the most disloyal republ. this goes well beyond rhetoric. directly to policy. this is trump's party when you have a president, they set the agenda. he's setting the policy agenda and sanford is not on board much

of the time, so i think that in addition to some sanford fatigue in the strict, i have a friend who lives there, she said she'd be shocked if he lost and he's been around a long time and folks who have f around a long time are facing more heat usual. >> the unexpected can happen. here's the thing. trump says he does a lot of things. but a lot of people whatever your political persuasion is would agree are perhaps rude, mean, immoral, whatever they might mean and that some say i care about policy. i'm fine with it any way. tennessee republican bob corker today came out and slammed his gop colleagues. this was about trade. he was saying you're not getting on board on trade because you're scared of the guu're scared of t against you. >> we might poke the bear. the president might get upset with us as united states senators if we vote on the corker amendment. well, we'll do what we can do, but my gosh, if the president

get upset with us, we might not be in the majority. >> a very different take. his view is you could lose. >> right. >> but you know, poke the bear. that's the way he says. there's fear that he's basically calling out his colleagues for being scared. is is that true is this. >> of course they're scared. they're scared in the house. there are republicans who want to a discharge position to get a daca bill out to preserve their own seats. many in california or new jersey where they're vulnerable. they can't get paul ryan to do that. and in the senate, they can't get mcconnell even if it might get a majority of votes. so it's donald trump's party. we're going to be living with this for longs we have them. >> these guys if anything are pragmatic. they care about themselves. ultimately. most of them more than anything else. is is this just their belief that if they kritize the president no matter on what, it will hurt votes?

is that why they're afraid to poke the bear? so many of them? >> well i think what they want is more unity in the republican party. we've achieved some amount of unity in washington and it's caused truch atrump and the republicans to get things done. what corker is proposing is an amendment to the defense bill. the president would veto this i think it's the wrong venue. >> the entsentiment is a trade policy that moderate democrats and republicansniformly agree on. what the president is doing on . it's not. >> it may not be in washington, but i think the politics are a lot more confusing in the middle of america and i also think that the president right now and the republican party are working better together than they have ever worked and what corker, who's on his way out door is proposing to blow that up. if i'm mitch mcconnell, paul ryan, somebody trying to hold the party together long enough to hang on in a rough midterm

si zych l, cycle, why would i whether or not he this up? if he wanted to shut down the senate he could do it. they have chosen not thood that. >> thank you both very much. you got the first, you got the last, scott and next, breaking news. rod rosenstein taking on devin nunes. why he's threaten to call for an investigation. plus, approving a deal the president himself vowed would never happen under his watch. experience the thrill of the moment with the lexus is. lease the 2018 is 300 and is 300 awd for these terms. experience amazing at your lexus dealer.

breaking news. the deputy attorney general upping the antein his battle with house republicans ch cnn learning rosenstein will ask the house general counsel to investigate house intelligence committee staffers after details of a tense meeting between the deputy ag and the committee were leaked. laura jarrett is "outfront" and laura, this is now a battle l royal in some senses. what is it about this leak from the white house intelligence committee chaired by nunes that has rosenstein so angry?

>> this one is different because justice officials say the facts have been turned completely upside down. this latest feud between rosenstein and the staff from the house intel goes back to this heated meeting as nunes started threatening the deputy ag for failing to turnover documents related to the russia investigation. another network reported earlier this evening that at that pete meet, rosenstein threatened house staff in the room with a criminal veinvestigation into their own conduct, but two sources tell me that is false and instead of rosenstein said if you hold me in contempt, i'll defend myself and get text messages and e-mails. as a result, rosen tine is now going to call on the top lawyer for the hou representatives, the general counsel, to investigate this conduct of these staffers who shared e-mails about this private meeting about the sen

this could stick up some words in the house and senate right now. this is a ry, very bad situation. over this russia investigation that just looms like an albatross around the necks of the justice department and this administration. sfl and that's what this is all about. this is about the russia investigation. >> the russia investigation. yes. it's a very tense time. i mean, you've got to president breathing down their neck. have rnd jeff department and sessions basically together on this. even though jeff sessions has recused himself, they're still together on this and now rosenstein has tried to fight back with the gop who he's linked wi so this is just not a good signal. for the american public to see all this fighting. the white house against justice. justice against the house. house gop. it's just not good. >> well it undermines confidence in the system. imperfections and mistakes and

there are bat apples everywhere. but of course, undermining americans confidence in the rule of law is a very serious thing. april, what does this mean for the president? he's going land from singapore. he has now slammed mueller by name. he's slammed rosenstein by name. he's got no fear, jeff sessions and now, does this just give him another arrow in the giver or does hquiver or does he stay si? >> oh, he will not be silent. you know this president. he will tweet at some point. make a statement. who knows. he could will tabe talking to rs on air force one right now. he will use this to say see what i told you. i mean no matter wh president is going to use it to his advantage or pspin it to hi advantage. so this does not bode well for rosenstein or house gop members when it comes to russia. the president will say i told you so. >> april, thank you. great to see you. next, breaking news, the
