leadership profile of kim jong-il and he will prepare the president for the summit that takes place. >> before the handshake it had been a decade since leaders from north and south korea met in person but also breaking the fbi offering a $20,000 reward as the manhunt intensifies in may. new pictures of john williams who stole his cruiser. neighbors in maine say they are not scared. >> he has more to worry about from us. everybody shoots, everybody owns guns. >> he was a 13 year veteran of the department, four chilton including his son who was a sheriff's deputy. the suspected golden state killer facing a judge today as

leak is, whether it is classified or not, he had as an fbi director, worked on, gave to this columbia professor, a good friend but turned out he was working at the fbi. what was his job? he was a guy you gave stuff to and confirmed memos went to three other people and we know the fbi had to scrub the computer of one of those people after that because of intelligence. heather: it was trey gowdy who said comey's definition of a leak is our definition of a felony, something like that. >> we have been asking what you think of comey's defense denying accusations his memo contents were leak. daniel says it's funny how his

memory doesn't recall quite a bit of pertinent information, and says he is a leak around liar, he doesn't understand the definition of a leak, he has no defense. and i don't think he answered a single question. so evasive it was pathetic. he doesn't know right from wrong. he can do no wrong. strong opinions, and unbelievable interview. 20 minutes after the top of the hour, brain-dead from north korea, died days later. and taking action against the road regime, manipulating my free thought, kanye west let john legend know he means business when he supports donald trump. carly shimkus with reaction to the new tweets.

our new secretary of state, mike pompeo in brussels, his first trip as secretary of state, being confirmed yesterday. we will have more as it develops but back here at home we talk about kanye west letting john legend know it his business when he supports donald trump. carly shimkus with serious xm 115 with the text messages the wrapper just shared on twitter. this is really something, they were considered private but i will let the whole world know. >> reporter: john legend trying to get kanye west to change his mind about supporting donald trump, he shared their text conversation to twitter, i hope you will reconsider aligning yourself with trump, your too powerful and influential to endorse who he is and what he

stands for. so many people who love you feel so betrayed because they know the harm trump's policies cause especially to people of color. don't let this be part of your legacy. west responded i love you, john and appreciate your thoughts. your bringing up my fans or my legacy is a tactic based on fear used to manipulate my free thought. looks like kanye west is sticking to his guns. rosanne barr said i'm a dragon too referring to kanye west's claims he and trump have dragon energy and rebecca says i am a new kanye west fan. we should all be able to think freely without retribution or coercion, to do anything other than who we are. looks like he may be alienating some fans but gaining others. >> it is about the conversation. you can disagree with your friends and still talk about

it. kim asked that question, a red sweater, look at this. remember this photo from a few days ago, a school administrator saw it and my son is suspended pending the police investigation. this is not going well with social media, one twitter user says these people will never stop. what happens off-campus is nothing, the school at ministries and's business. so tired of seeing things like this, people come to the shooting range to teach gun safety and more importantly the responsibility and respect that comes with the activity. the school says they can't comment on this situation until the police complete their

investigation. heather: have a great weekend. the time is 26 after the hour. secretly meeting with kim jong un and hours after being sworn in, mike pompeo is getting back to work. our next guest says his first 90 days on the job are the most critical. >> we salute you, thank you and we will be grateful for the sacrifices you made for all of us. heather: donald trump welcomes wounded warriors to the white house, his promise to veterans across the country. ♪ ♪ we came with big appetites. with expedia, you could book a flight, hotel, car, and activity all in one place.

allies. heather: how pivotal has he been leading up to now in terms of shaping what donald trump is trying to do? has he worked with donald trump on foreign-policy? >> not only been working with donald trump but had a close relationship with him. that is important that secretary of state have that kind of personal relationship because he is going to be the chief foreign-policy advisor and doesn't hurt he is head of the cia. heather: mentioned 90 days is critical. why 90 days? >> we have the north korean summit, not just happening right now but probably the summit between donald trump and kim jong un. syria is a major area, tariffs

donald trump and kim jong un. he will be informing the us not only of what specifically was agreed upon but any side discussions and his impressions of kim jong un. patty: 1 why was it so difficult to get here? the separating line was not that high to cross, too easy to walk over that line and it took us 11 years to get here. do you truly believe there's a change happening in terms of kim jong un and north korea? >> to borrow a phrase from ronald reagan we should trust and verify. it has taken so long because in the past north korea has made various agreements it failed to live up to. the reason there is a building there is we have an armistice, not a peace treaty.

north korea has attacked south korean ships, tried to attack south korean leaders. he might look in the near to know white has taken so long. heather: a new history begins now and an age of peace at the starting point of history. how much do you credit donald trump with what is happening? >> the policy of enhanced pressure where we have finally imposed sanctions not just on north korea's broad trade but their financial elements, it has been a key part of this. i do think it has been important to hold up the possibility of a summit, meetings were donald trump offered -- heather: a remarkable time to watch history unfolds. thank you for joining us, we will have you back, appreciate it. the parents of otto warmbier

this information but can't use my name and want to put information in the public square anonymously, that is the definition of a leak. james comey knew what he was doing, maximized it for public affected and i think we shouldn't be arguing semantics, james comey and anyone who wants to defend him should be willing to say what he did the classic definition of a leak. the 20 three different people he is accused of disseminating information to. >> the ag will determine what a leak is and i find him very contradictory. his judgment is flawed, that has hurt and helped donald trump and candidate clinton. on the other hand i don't find him to be a liar. his pathology is truth telling, that doesn't mean he doesn't know -- or minces words.
