1:00 pm
thank you to my panel and all of you for watching. i hope to see you right here next week. >> this is a fox news alert. two big stories this hour. the present departure from new jersey from the white house as he prepares to name a supreme court nominee tomorrow night. meanwhile a different rescue in thailand as the operation is underway for the young soccer players still trapped in a flooded cave for more than two weeks.hello everyone i am arthel neville. hello, mike. >> i am a -- mike emanuel. they have four players that
1:01 pm
were rescued. there are eight more plus the coach to go. they will try this again before weather conditions deteriorate. the president giving his support saying the u.s. is working closely with the government of thailand to get all of the children out of the cave and to safety. very brave and talented people. jeff paul is live in thailand. what is the latest? >> it has been pouring on and off the last several hours here in thailand, this is a big concern as the eight remaining soccer players and their coach remain trapped in the cave. forecasters here from the local television site it will likely rain for the next 2 to 3 days. the local governor for the area where we are says there having a war with water. he also gives other insight into this specific rescue. he says after the four boys were rescued they were immediately taken to the hospital. currently it is unknown the specific condition or if they are experiencing an injury spread and every oxygen tank
1:02 pm
was used. it means it could take several more hours to get everything in place for new rescues. >> the next operation i cannot say exactly but it should be around 10 or no more than 20 hours. but we will have to assess the condition that making sure everything is stable just like today. if it is stable and we are confident, we will proceed with the operation. >> were also hearing that it took seven hours and 40 minutes to release the first boys from their. that is the total time in and out. a lot faster than they were telling us to expect around 11 hours for the first boys to come out of the cave but keep in mind, they'll have to reset. it will take at least several more hours to get the cruise in place, oxygen tanks in place, get everyone out there ready to bring more boys out and on top of that, it will take several hours to get into the boys
1:03 pm
wants to have everything set up in a couple of more hours to get out. >> just an unbelievable operation when you're talking about these boys being in there for more than two weeks. limited food, limited oxygen, any word on the four that were rescued how they are doing at this point? >> yeah, the conditions from the local governor says and i think you meant they are okay but he says the boys are perfect. i do not know specifically to the health if they have any problems. they being checked out right now. they were sent to the hospital. they are suffering some elements for being in the cave. also they say they don't think about maybe tiny cuts that it is a very rocky area, they have not seen much daylight. there might be some vision issues. respiratory issues could come up as well. they're getting the care they need right now and we are hoping that we get more good news for the folks that have already been rescued and even better news as we hear about more possible rescues from inside the cave. >> jeff, doing a great job on this very human drama playing
1:04 pm
out halfway across the world. >> for more on this very dangerous and difficult rescue mission, bringing in david sears a former navy seal and cofounder of -- global. we were talking about the rescue. we are very concerned about the boys but they cannot get without the people there to get them out. tell me if you would about the difficulties that lay ahead for the rescuers. >> if you think about some of the things that were just said, there are about, the boys are about 2 and a half miles in the cave system. it is not a 2 and a half mile flat walk overnight speech. it is rocky, very difficult to rain, some of it has to be go through, scuba diving, rockclimbing pieces, also the rescuers and all of the people assisting need to get oxygen tanks or compressed air tanks
1:05 pm
into support them.them some to support the kids on the way out.then the need to be able to get out. these tanks are empty, full, somewhere around 40 pounds each. if you need one to get in and then one to get out or as a reserve you have multiple people carrying these things over very difficult, dark, cold terrain. it is a daunting task. >> is a daunting task there, very physical. it is emotional for the rescuers i would imagine also. then i want to touch on a moment you also have we just heard from jeff paul, it will rain for the next 2 to 3 days. and as these monsoon migraines are on the way the rescuers must have multiple contingency plans i would imagine. is that the case? >> right. i think that is the window they are up against. the rain. can they still conduct this? they will have a bunch of go, and no go criteria.
1:06 pm
i think they want to get this done as fast as possible as conditions are favorable to them. if it is not, never really talked about multiple contingencies and do we look at drilling? but where the codes are located somewhere around 2500 to 3000 feet underground is the estimate. just drilling to that kind of rock and jungle is a difficult task. they've also talked about leaving them in the eye through monsoon season or waiting for the next window but they don't know when that will be. the challenge there will be the oxygen levels that we've already seen drop in the cave. how do you get fresh oxygen into the kids with fresh air so they have the right oxygen content? how far will the water rise? there is definitely plan b, plan c and plan d. but none are great options. >> meanwhile, there is of course, you are a former navy seal pier when you're in the middle of something like this, you are in go mode. i imagine you're able to put your emotions to the side but
1:07 pm
if there is any room for that to creep in, if you'd explain that to us. we would love to hear it. >> i think really, there is not. you are so focused on the task at hand to be honest. the motions do not really creep in. afterwards maybe think about some of those things but right then and there like we talked about, so much physical exertion, your cold, wet and tired, focused on the job at hand which is getting the kids out. there is enough technical things to do that keep your mind busy. you have to stay engaged. these guys have done this throughout their career.if they are not engaged, you end up dead. >> talk to us about the role that those rescuers that deal and the other divers have to play in terms of comforting the boys. they have two get these boys to instantly trust them, explained that part of the rescue. >> you want to keep them positive. we have a saying that, is contagious, so is panic.
1:08 pm
you will have a calm demeanor, they will reassure the kids everything is good. keep them laughing. a sense of humor in any situation is good. they should be sort of bantering with them, making sure the kids are lighthearted. if they do not series the seriousness of this they see it as this will be another adventure getting me out it will not be a problem, we have got you. >> that is very interesting. it makes a lot of sense but they have a lot in their shoulders there. not to make light of that at all. then there's the oxygen factor. talk about all of the people. so not as the oxygen only getting thin and the boys and the coach, you have all of the workers in there now, taking the oxygen as well. >> right, exactly. that is why some of the, initially they had a 20 percent or so, 21 percent oxygen level in the cave where the boys
1:09 pm
were. they said it went down to about 15 percent. your additional people in there taking up that. they're working very hard also. the boys were in their relatively calm, just breathing normal, conserving energy and oxygen. all of these workers are working and exerting a lot of energy so they're putting out more carbon dioxide. they are using more oxygen so they have to try and pump more in and it is really complex and difficult scenario. >> are you still hopeful? >> absolutely. you always are hopeful until the last second. you never give up hope. at the same time you need to recognize the complexities, be ready for contingencies and have a realistic outlook. >> david, thank you so much. i think the world remains hopeful as well. >> thank you. >> another fox news alert. we have a supreme court pick and decided to who will replace the retiring justice anthony
1:10 pm
kennedy.the world will be watching on prime time as the president and also the nominee. garrett tenney is live at the white house with the president's shortlist. any indication the president has made a decision? >> if he has, he is not saying. a person with the president's knowledge said this morning that mr. trump still is not communicated final choice this weekend we know the president has been meeting with advisors including the vice president to discuss the pick. the white house is prepared roll out packages for the four candidates he is a supposed to choose from for the presence of late last week and narrowed it down to two or three finalists who will likely get a chance to see if you narrowed it down and then the next hour when he returns the white house. >> republican lawmakers will be needed to stay unified in terms of getting whoever the nominee is confirmed. who are they are encouraging the president to pick?
1:11 pm
>> most republican lawmakers say they will be happy with any the president's finalists. it is important to remember the most important attribute is someone who can actually get confirmed. with john mccain in the senate republicans need the vote of every gop senator to get the president's nominee through. they want to do it before the midterm elections. a lot of gop senators believe amy barrett and brett kavanaugh would have a tougher time getting confirmed. barrett for her pro-life position and cavanaugh for his many rulings on the u.s. court of appeals in d.c. over the last 12 years. the other two finalists, raymond cartledgekethledge and . >> republicans are holding four lottery tickets and all of them are winners. if you are conservative republican, the four people named particularly hardemon, they are all winners in every republican should embrace them. >> i think that we can confirm
1:12 pm
any of the four names being mentioned. there reasons to look in both the pennsylvania and michigan nominee. >> last year, three democrats voted to confirm neil gorsuch for this time democratic leaders are hoping they can stay united and vote against the president's nominee. >> i cannot predict how all of my 48 colleagues in the senate on the democratic side will vote. i will tell you though, simple math tells you if john mccain is absent, is a 50 /49 senate pier 1 republican senate can decide the supreme court nominee. >> those tight margins of why the white house has been ramping up pressure on democrats up for election. and the present hoping to peel off at least a couple including to make sure that the nominee gets through. >> plenty of drama after the president makes his announcement. thank you very much. with more on this list bring in edward whalen.
1:13 pm
we are thankful to have your expertise, sir. senate majority leader mitch mcconnell cords the new york times has weighed in saying it would be easier to confirm either judge kethledge or judge thomas hardimon. since he is the one rounding up the yes votes should that be a major factor? >> the good news is we have four outstanding final contenders. any of whom would be an excellent addition to the supreme court. in any of whom i think on scrutiny, would get confirmed. it is really up to president trump to decide which one he wants to select but i think we have great choices available. >> the majority leaders office not commenting on the new york times report but according to it, mcconnell expressed concerns about judge kavanaugh long paper trail and others have talked about judge kavanaugh his history with the bush administration. are those legitimate concerns? >> out that the long paper trail is. republicans control the
1:14 pm
process. it should be a relatively simple matter to get some of confirm. not simply before the midterm election but before the next term in the supreme court. before begins in early october. so there are lots of considerations the president can take into account. and reasonable people will have different views on which of the outstanding candidates is the best. i think the key is what the president makes a pick that folks unify around that and ensure that we have a quick confirmation so we get this new justice on the court. >> you bring up an interesting point because the democratic base will want senators to fall in line behind democratic leader chuck schumer. and do you see any legitimate reasons they should be opposed other than that they are conservative? >> no. we have a deep battle over judicial ideology. and the parties have become more and more polarized in recent years. over judicial ideology. democrats have their view of a very activist court with all sorts of rights that are not in
1:15 pm
the constitution.i think you'll find democrats in red states for whom that is not very attractive view of the judicial role for the constituents. i think some of them will be on a hotspot. >> list bring the viewers here. we are seeing on the screen now live in jersey, you have president trump and the first lady who have left the golf course in new jersey arriving in morristown new jersey for the short trip to joint base andrews. the president about to come back to washington d.c. for a huge week announcing his supreme court justice nominee and also then to go off and meet with nato allies in brussels. a big week ahead but the president and first lady wrapping up a weekend in new jersey. back to this nomination process.are you expecting basically, a lot of conservative folks to get in line once they hear the name? are they pretty much happy with the four names and this is kind of splitting hairs about which nominee they prefer?
1:16 pm
>> i think so. everyone ought to be happy with the names.people have their favorites and one can understand how in this phase people advancing their favorites. unfortunately, some people have been doing that by i think discouraging others. i'm hopeful that the process will come to an end with the president makes his nomination and it will see some strong unity behind the nominee. >> again we are looking at morristown, new jersey where marine one is arriving. the president and first lady are about to go back to washington d.c.. it a lot of folks are wondering, if pro-choice folks are wondering if the new configuration of the united states supreme court, whether roe versus wade will be in the court sites. your thoughts on the future roe versus wade and whether that will be threatened by a new justice. >> of course, is one of many important issues that might be before the court in the coming years. the very fact that it is still up shows how unsettled it really is.
1:17 pm
i think that the american people are fully able to address abortion policy through their state. you can try to count heads and it is unclear exactly who is where. there are certainly some exaggeration on the other side. but a few people actually defend the reasoning of roe. i'm hopeful we will soon have five or six or seven justices. why not all nine who recognize this was a power grab from the democrat process phase and should be restored to work out what the policy is in different states. >> elections do have consequences. we look at the 45th president of the united states arriving there in new jersey. do the american people at this stage want the abortion issue challenged? >> look, they will be all over the place. you will see a majority that says it does not want roe overturned.at the same time you'll see the super majority
1:18 pm
wanting abortion policies that are not permissible. under the regime. there is a lot of confusion over just what roe means and what it means to overturn roe. overturning roe is in the democratic processes it will not itself render abortion illegal. it would enable citizens to try and persuade each other. and workout policies in some states perhaps more like those in europe. as opposed to much more radical regime we have here. in other states i would hope a more protective regime. >> is there anything in particular that the president should be acutely aware of as he is going to make this announcement tomorrow night at 9 pm eastern in terms of he made it clear that he would like to get his nominee in place as a justice before the midterm. as he is looking at the list and who could make, would get the best and easiest transition to approval, who would that be when he really starts to fine
1:19 pm
tune his detailed search here? >> there is a mix of considerations that will come into play. the easiest path to confirmation probably is not one of those. of course you want to figure out someone that will get confirmed but some fights are very much worth fighting. i do not think it is a question of who is easiest to confirm. i think you look at things like who will be the president would be the best justice on the court? how will this play politically in a way that enables republicans not only retain but build on the majority in the senate and in the november elections. which nominee will put democrats really on the spot? these are all considerations that would have the process entirely proper for the president to consider. again, i will be happy to defer to the assessment of those factors. >> and of course, the president wants to consider all of the factors you laid out there.
1:20 pm
however, as you heard senator graham say, listen, you have four winners there. he hinted at who he would like to go ahead and have the president suggest as the nominee but the idea in terms of getting this before the midterm has been a lot of the debate here. what is your take on that? is this the right timing? should the president persist through and should the senate therefore push this through before the midterm election? >> is not pushing through it all for this to happen before the midterms. a typical range from nomination to confirmation is much closer to 60 days. >> just reminding you, merrick garland, that took about 293 days. for confirmation. >> well, of course. and they you have the exercise of majority power by republicans who say you are to have the exercise, majority power here. and you look back to the
1:21 pm
confirmation process in july 2005. where he was nominated on july 19, i believe and confirmed before the next term began in october. that is what republicans should be looking to. that is what they should be looking to achieve. there's no reason they should drag out and do this into october as republican leader, mcconnell has already said, this should be wrapped up by the end of september. >> defer the republicans are working on one accord? you feel like they are in concert here too in fact, i don't want to use the word push through but in fact, to have an easier confirmation process? >> in the pre-nomination phase, it is easy for one senator or another to say different things. once we have a nominee and we see the merits of the nominee, i think you will see people unifying around that. i do not think you will see obstruction or delay from
1:22 pm
senate republicans. and senate democrats have no ammunition to slow things down. there is plenty of time for a careful and considered review of the nominees record. while still getting that nominee confirmed before october. >> are watching president trump here and the first lady now heading to air force one for the short trip back to dc. the president looking very relaxed. we will see if he will field any questions. >> i believe this person will do a great job. i'm very close to making a decision. i have not made it official yet, obviously. we are very close to making a decision. [inaudible question] >> let's say it is the four people but they are excellent, everyone. you cannot go wrong. i'm getting very close to making a final decision. [inaudible question] >> probably it will be decided tonight or tomorrow sometime by 12:00. i think we will be
1:23 pm
meeting at 9:00 and we have a great country, folks. we have a great country. thank you very much. >> they you have it for the president obviously feeling very comfortable and relaxed about going into the huge week ahead. taking time to stop to speak with reporters, that does not always happen. and he says i'm down to four. the final four, polite your charts if you're following this. he is going to make that decision. he says he does not have the choice narrowed down to one just yet. this continues to build the suspense as it should. this is a big deal for this country. post decision, what do you think would be the biggest impact? >> well, we will see of course the process up to the hearing which will probably be scheduled 4 to 6 weeks away. but the broader impact here is that they ought to have another great justice added to the
1:24 pm
court. have five constitutionalists that really work to build and restore to have the constitution and statutory laws in a way that benefits all americans. >> we thank you very much for your time and your analysis. it is very interesting that we have got, you are talking about a justice, whomever it may be, once confirmed that is young and could be on the court for literally, decades. it gives you an idea how huge of a decision that is and the decision that this impact could have long after president trump leaves office. >> absolutely. which is why the assessment of this person should be based on the qualities across the board, not on the particular issues of the day. and i think we will see the president making a wise
1:25 pm
decision that we can all support. >> is it possible into midterm elections this year that this decision and confirmation process will fire up voters really on both sides of the aisle? >> i sure hope there is a pic made that fires up conservative voters. who obviously recognize how important the court is who are grateful to the president for his outstanding selection of the justice, neil gorsuch, to replace my former boss, justice antonin scalia. and to see the great progress being made on the lower courts. yes, i am hopeful this will be a big factor going into november. >> edward whaley, president of ethics and public policy center. we are thankful for your analysis. as we watch the president and first lady going back to washington. >> thank you. ahead of this week's nato summit and the president's one-on-one with the russian president, vladimir putin. what we can expect from these two very different meetings.
1:26 pm
republicans tough talk for mr. trump. plus a race against time as a rescue continues. these boys being pulled from a flooded cave. where they have been trapped for the last two weeks with monsoon rains on the way. will they get the remaining boys and the soccer coach out in time? where live in thailand, next. and the safey for "most parallel parallel parking job" goes to...

♪ oh, what a relief it is! ♪ from only the thickest, juiciest heinz tomatoes. no one grows ketchup like heinz™. >> the eyes of the world on thailand as expert divers race time and risk their lives to rescue a group of young soccer players and the coach with him trapped in a flooded cave for more than two weeks p1 former thai navy s.e.a.l. died before the boys rescue tapered eight others in the culture still inside. the dangerous and complex mission involved swimming with a half-mile in total darkness through tight spaces. bryan llenas joins us now with
1:31 pm
more. brian, great to see. what more can you tell us about how treacherous this rescue operation is? >> hi mike, good to see you. talk about a massive rescue mission involving 90 divers thai and others from around the world. four boys were rescued, faster than expected. they would loan offer portions of the cave to be walkable. in order to rescue the remaining eight boys and the soccer coach, divers are navigating 2 and a half miles of treacherous dark caves. which of march are underwater. divers are equipping the boys with full face diving masks, two divers are comforting each boy to guide them through the dark using ropes, some of the boys have never even swam before. but they receive guidance and training in the days before the operation pay there are 100 oxygen tanks that have been placed throughout the two and half mile journey. to the divers and children do not run out of oxygen. one former u.s. navy s.e.a.l. said this morning, the difficulty, he talked about how
1:32 pm
difficult this was. traveling through muddy, narrow cave core doors. >> they got a lot of gear and they are not just swimming the whole time. there climbing rocks, getting out and walking, they have to take all the gear off. there are a lot of stages to the mission. much like climbing mount everest. no just walked to the top of it. >> underscoring the difficulty of the dive a retired thai navy s.e.a.l. died on friday when he passed out from lack of oxygen. rescuers say it could take four days to rescue all nine that are left. the trying to get it done before heavy rains could flood the cave even more. >> what kind of health risks are these children and their coach who have been in this cave with limited oxygen, limited food for more than two weeks. what kind of health risks are they facing? >> is a big question. we been speaking to doctors and they see a it is a good dr. check on the boys and the coach and immediately he applied iodine, antiseptic on cuts and scrapes to protect against possible bacterial infections in the caves. the other concern is oxygen.
1:33 pm
at one point the level of oxygen in the cave is 15 percent. >> we are breathing in 21 percent right now. we start getting symptoms of disorientation and inability to think straight when we are below 19 percent. but it gets worse below 15 percent. down to 10 percent they lose consciousness, have convulsions and they can die. >> the first four boys were rescued. they are said to be the strongest and healthiest of the group. that was on purpose. we are told to see if the rescue operation was even doable for the rest of the group. >> bryan llenas, thank you very much. >> know you have to geopolitics with transatlantic ties in the balance of the president goes to brussels this week for the nato summit. leaders on edge as the president's tariffs spark a growing trade war while he also demands nato members to pay more for defense. the president then travels to helsinki to meet with russian
1:34 pm
president, vladimir putin. gillian turner has more. >> president trump goes to brussels for the annual nato summit in a couple of days. intending to bolster the transatlantic alliance pay while the president is there he will spend time with foreign leaders of america's closest european allies like france, britain and germany. as well as others like canada and turkey. going into the meetings the administration is focusing its messaging to the american people on cost-sharing. >> we go away on monday and we go away and i will see lots of people. i will see nato and i will tell them you have to start paying the bills. >> every ally is now increasing the spending appeared we have had the largest increase in defense spending since the cold
1:35 pm
war. >> when it comes to foreign policy and defense issues the big ticket items on the agenda for the sum include international migrant crisis. the syrian civil war, north korea's nuclear threat, the iran nuclear deal and cybersecurity. the elephant in the room is russia. in particular, vladimir putin. the ever increasing aggression and threat to the world order. chris i do think rush is trying to flip turkey. they are trying to flip many of our allies. they want to destabilize the strongest defense alliance in the history of the world. and that is nato. >> the present will meet with vladimir putin on the heels of the summit in helsinki. he will have a private one-on-one. the other major issue on everyone's mind is north korea. many heads of state the presidencies in brussels have not spoken to him since the historic meeting with kim jong-un in june. they will be eager for the details. justice of the north korean foreign ministry disparaged the meetings with secretary pompeo. they said they will consider their commitment to denuclearization. >> gillian turner, thank you! >> more this would bring in
1:36 pm
daniel halpert. -- >> this is all part and parcel of the president's foreign policy. he has said america first and he has meant it. at least as we are right now, he has, goes around and says america will be being treated unfairly by the chinese, by the eu and not being treated fairly by nato. in particular with nato it is that the countries are as he puts it, turning, i do not want to use language but basically making america paying for the nato security which you think is unfair. >> we just heard on "fox news sunday", they talked about moscow meddling with the nato alliance perhaps trying to flip turkey. what about that concern? >> it is obviously a very real concern. anyway it will be one of the minor concerns coming in. i think what people will be
1:37 pm
looking at, it's funny because under other presidents especially republican or democratic presidents, some of the nato summit would not be particularly newsworthy.but under president trump, it is. because it goes and says what you're doing now is not correct. and he wants change and he wants america to be treated fairly. it is radically different than i think from what we've seen before. >> of course nato is a military alliance. woman imagine a tension over trade policy could have an impact on conversations. irritation with one could affect the other. right daniel? >> yes, hutchinson downplayed that earlier on "fox news sunday" basically saying that it has not encroached in the nato specific, military and diplomatic channels. but we know, we have seen this, encroach on head of state to head of state relations. we saw that of course at the g7. many of the countries are part of nato as well. it could be that it is nothing
1:38 pm
but it could be real fireworks i think. and anyway, it's order child's relationship that i think we are not seen before at least recently. >> it could also benefit moscow, right? >> absolutely. and of course, the president is meeting with vladimir putin later on on the trip. this is an important trip. a big week obviously the supreme court coming up and then he goes to europe for a trip and with vladimir putin. that dichotomy, he will look to see if he's treating our allies worse than vladimir putin. how is that relationship working out? and i think people will look into that and see whether or not, where president trump is on the issues and how it is looking. >> after get through supreme court drama will have drama to watch over in europe, right? >> it is always like there is drama. it's funny, every week you feel like next week coming up will be a big week.
1:39 pm
but this time in particular it seems like it could be a very pivotal week. obviously, monday's announcement will be big. but going forward i do not think this is a sleepy policy trip. >> thank you, daniel halper. >> mudslides killing dozens in japan. the latest on the death toll and what caused the tragedy. meanwhile, north korea back to the old belligerent rhetoric after a big meeting with the secretary of state, mike pompeo. what is next in talked to denuclearize the peninsula? even when i was there, i never knew when my symptoms would keep us apart. so i talked to my doctor about humira. i learned humira can help get, and keep uc under control when other medications haven't worked well enough. and it helps people achieve control that lasts. so you can experience few
1:40 pm
or no symptoms. humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if you've had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection. be there for you, and them. ask your gastroenterologist about humira. with humira, control is possible. >> mke: a mudslide killing 81

1:44 pm
>> arthel: relations between the u.s. and north korea turning to conscientious. the north korean ministry is saying that the talks with secretary pompeo, calling them regrettable and calling the u.s. their attitude or our attitude, gangster like. at least one prominent republican lawmakers as china may have pressured north korea to take a harder stance on negotiating with the us. >> i think china's hands are all over this. we are in a fight with china. we have $500 billion worth of goods of the chinese, they buy 100 billion from us. they cheat and the president wants to change the economic relationship with china. i would not let china do this. we have more bullets than they do. >> for more knowledge bring in gordon chang, author of the nuclear showdown and asia
1:45 pm
analyst for the daily beast. always a pleasure to talk to. i want to get to it senator graham said momentarily. first of all, should with the north korean foreign ministry saying, should it be dismissed as propaganda or do his statements and declaration impact progress? >> i think the impact progress. the president's north korea policy is based on the premise that kim jong-un wants to give up his nuclear arsenal. what we have seen with all of these revelations about increased production of the material working on the missile facilities and now, these very harsh words which were intended to embarrass the secretary of state, mike pompeo. all of this says to me that president trump's assumptions are not correct. >> arthel: as you know, the president tweeted just following his meeting with kim jong-un, he says, north korea is no longer a nuclear threat. so now mike pompeo has to make it so. talk about the diplomatic dance head of the secretary of state. >> what happened after the meeting in pyung young was i

think he's on his way to soul, there is an apprentice to really stitch together the region in sort of a coalition. but this is going to be difficult. i think president trump should go back to doing what he did on may 24, he actually just pulled out of the singapore talks because the north korean rhetoric was really belligerent. and so did he said i'm not taking us. within hours the north koreans went from being belligerent to conciliatory. i think we need to do the same thing here. >> without work now though? the president has already gone halfway to meet with kim jong-un. the world watched that happen. does that work now? >> is more difficult but i think he needs to do it nonetheless. the north koreans think it is open season on the united states. i think the president needs to disabuse them of that notion that they can just humiliate pompeo which is really what they did. >> is talk about china. as china still apply maximum pressure on north korea in the form of economic sanctions? >> definitely not. we know for the last three or
1:47 pm
four months at the chinese have been blatant and sanctions busting. the russians have been doing that as well. it is clear to me that the united states needs to do something. also remember that at the end of may, the wall street journal reported that the trump administration decided not to sanction 36 entities. north korea changes the companies all the time. and if you do not sanction the new companies were allowed the north koreans and the chinese and russians to hollow out the sanctions. although the secretaries were still having extra pressure his not being candid with the american people. >> is that something the president should address with vladimir putin when they meet? >> of course because north korea is a problem with russia. we have seen these north korean ships going into russian ports. they are up to no good. russia is busting sanctions as well as china. i think vladimir putin is giving kim jong-un the notion he can get away with this. >> president trump has a way
1:48 pm
about him that he is able to disarm people. i think he would refer to as -- it seems to work when he is there in person with these people. then they leave and things fall apart. is president trump almost giving them too much clout by sitting down and meeting with them? after all, he is the president of the united states. >> right. one of the things that kimberly wanted from the singapore summit last month was legitimization. that is what president trump didjust by shaking hands with him. now he is got that , he does not really have that same incentive to come to terms with the united states and give up his weapons. i think there probably should be more work before hand to get cam to make confirmed statements. >> what about the trade beef between the u.s. and china? is this going to influence china's role in corralling kim
1:49 pm
jong-un and the nukes? >> i'm sure it will one way or another. but i don't know if you will be good or bad. you have to remember that yes, we say it is a trade dispute. and it is about tariffs. but these tariffs are imposed under section 301 of the trade act of 1974. they are meant to combat china's theft of u.s. and social property which amounts to hundreds of billions of dollars a year. we had to do something about regardless of north korea. i think imposing costs on china is actually beneficial in the long term to deal with china on north korea. otherwise, we have no levers on them if we say we will be nice with you on everything. the chinese are ruthlessly pragmatic. they do not return gestures of friendship. they see it as a sign of weakness and depressed advantage. donald trump has got to be tougher. >> will leave it there, thank you very much. >> still ahead, wildfires sweep and cross multiple states out west in the middle every brutal heat wave. forcing people out of their homes.
