kim jung un sessions said we will separate you from your children.t want that to happen don't quasilegal into the country with your kids. it is common sense, he is not trying to be harsh. the caravan we have been talking about, they made it in smaller number. they have been allowed into claim asylum, what chance do they have of being granted asylum at this point? >> the bigger issue is they go through an asylum official and have a court date later on the real question is what chance do we have they will appear in court when their court appearances do? that is the reality. is happening across the country. speaking to agents in the rio grande valley in texas they are informing us those numbers are coming through texas and they haven't stopped either. kim jung un people say this is harsh treatment of immigrants, we shouldn't have borders, the atty. gen. think people all over the world want to come to the country. you come in illegally your cutting everybody else in line. does that make sense to you? >> makes more than perfect sense. if you are seeking a

extensive news on a potential summit between president trump and kim jung-un. the president raising doubts whether the june 12 summit in singapore will actually take plous questions about the north korean attitude suggesting perhaps kim jung-un's attitude toward the president of the united states changed after his most recent -- after kim's most recent meeting with president xi. at the same time the president reaching out to the north koreans saying that the united states will guarantee the survival of kim jung-un if in fact the denuclearization program involving north korea goes forward. lots to discuss. and we have an excellent panel to assess what is going on. samantha, what was your immediate reaction to the prospects of this scheduled summit june 12th, the president saying it may go on, may not go on, raising some doubts about whether it will go on? >> well, there is definitely public distance between president moon of south korea and president trump. president moon seemed to treat the summit as a foregone conclusion. whereas president trump did obfuscate o

is kim jung-un serious about this meeting. so he is sending his personal envoy. it does not get any -- he knows everything about kim jung-un, everything about the nuclear program about th program. so that the fact he is flying to new york is certainly i would say the biggest sign so far that we've seen at least politically that north korea is serious about this meeting. all of this is happening as some of the white house facialoffici joe hagan, is in singapore with the group handling logistics. but this is the first sign that this meeting in fact happened. is it going to be on the 12th? we're not sure. but it does look like substantively at least this is happening. the reason he is going to new york not here, there is a diplomatic immunity a couple miles from the u.n. i believe, north koreans can go. he doesn't have a visa to come here. so we don't believe that he will meet with the president, but certainly mike pompeo is significant. >> and some think that you at least have to have some big deliverable from kim jung-un even if it takes years and years, some sort

this individual, kim yong-chol, is a very trusted aide of kim jung-un. he is spy chief. he is involved in recognizance. he is always at the side of kim jung-un. that is a good sign that he is going to new york. interestingly, north korean diplomats if they go to washington, they have to get a special waiver. so i think that it is good that the secretary of state is meeting him. another good sign is that the senior people from the north korean foreign minister, mrs. choi for instance that you met when you covered my trip years ago, is involved in the negotiations there with some of our people on the substance of the negotiations. so i think that they are good signs. both leaders want this summit badly. president trump and kim jung-un. and it looks like heiit's going happen. the issue is will it be june 12. i hope they don't rush things despite these positive movements. and the big issue is going to be will it be successful in terms of the denuclearization issue. i still have my doubts whether the north koreans are going to move forward on full denuclearization. maybe step

talk strategy for next month's big summit between president trump and the north korean dictator kim jung-un. there are those on team trump who view president moon about way too optimistic about kim jung-un's willingness to give up husba his nuclear program. and the south koreans are worried that the administration is causing problems, this yesterday a warning that if kim isn't ready to deal, he will end up like moammar gadhafi, depo d deposed, dead. >> there was some talk about the libyan model last week. and you know, as the president made clear, this will only end like the libyan model ended if kim jung-un doesn't make a deal. >> some people saw that as a threat. >> well, i think it is more of a fact. >> more on that meeting and the summit planning in a moment. we'll take you to the white house when we see the south korean president. first though, new demands from house republicans. the president wanted a big justice department investigation. instead, he got an expanded inspector general inquiry. looking at if the obama justice department inappropriately somehow had surveillance on the tr

the letter to kim jung un, or break up first or break up letter. i'm watching.y are all saying the same thing. it's not a spy. it's an informant. okay, the informant approaching people in the campaign, three that will be on the show tonight, trying to get information from them. that's a spy. >> he's a spy because he didn't reveal his original intent. his intentions when he met them, sean. he did the same thing with george pop d pap do that papadoa paper, come to i england in 20. he pushes on him asking what does he know about the russians? what does he know about e-mails? >> why don't they ask wikileaks? we know hilary clinton's server and original draft of comey said six foreign intelligence services that got into her e-mail services. russia, china, north korea, ira. i want that information. america deserves that information. >> america deserves all of the information, including the documentation that opened up the documentation. that's what america deserves. >> there is a "new york times" piece out tonight. mueller is so desperate. he's looking into the march

kim jung un let's talk about joe piscopo. >> a former saturday night live cast member called out the chauffeur casting stormy daniels to criticize donald trump.

president trump canceling the planned meeting with north korea's leader kim jung-un. we'll talk about where we go from here. also, controlling the message. right now we are in the middle of two highly controversial, highly political sized meetings between members of congress and justice department. it is all about how the fbi carried out its russia investigation. a lot of folks asking why are there two separate meetings for the same intel. maybe the question should be why are there meetings at all. plus, anthem outcry. the president now says nfl players who kneel for the national anthem or stay in the locker room, maybe they shouldn't even be in this country. i'll talk to a former army green beret and nfl player about the new rules and his goal just having people fight less and listen to one another more. we'll get to all those stories in a moment, but we start with two big stories in washington at this hour. there is a look there left side of your screen of course the white house. reaction continues to come in on that startling new development from that white house.

before stepping in if he does step back in. >> and i want to look at these images just to show kim jung-un again these the most recent pictures of kim jung-un and what we're seeing a very relaxed leader of north korea wearing the white suit as opposed to the black suit. all of this happening during this reversal coming from the u.s. president. jasper, i want to ask you about the north korean response. it was very measured compared to what we've seen from north korea in the past. how important a factor do you think that was in the possibility of these talks being restored? >> well, i think it is noteworthy and what we have is an ironic twist here with the two political figures. usually it is the north korean side that is really aggressive in their tone and this is taken from the korean language. if you do a direct translation, oftentimes it is a little awkward when it is translatesed into english. but here we have north korea strikingciliatory tone when donald trump pulled out originally. and so i think what we have is something very, very interesting. these two political figures are trying

it is seen as a goodwill gesture ahead of the summit, and that summit between the president and kim jung-unre told is just weeks away. >> and let's go over to brad mielke now who has more. >> from the start here oig studio, while everyone i've spoken to is happy to see the prisoners return, there is still a lot of skepticism over north korea's intentions here. i spoke to someone who served on president obama's national security council and he says while they would always cheer the release of prisoner, you also don't want to give north korea too much satisfaction. >> they are used as pawns by these regimes. they can be signals and we interpret those signals as best we can, but we don't go overboard and say, oh, thank you so much for releasing these citizens deep down because we know that they were only seized for leverage in the first place and we don't want to encourage further seizures of american citizens. >> i also asked you were in the obama white house, why could you guys not get this far in negotiations? and his answer was fascinating. you can hear the entire conversation on start her

that critical meeting under way at this hour setting up a showdown between president trump and kim jung-un, the president has managed to once again upstage his own message. trump on air force one a few minutes ago revealing that he is considering pardoning martha stewart and commuting the sentence of former illinois governor rod blagojevich, both by the way once associated with mr. trump's apprentice show. stewart you might recall was convicted of conspiracy, obstruction and making false statements to investigators. blagojevich was removed from office and convicted of a potpourri of corruption charges including that he tried to sell barack obama's senate seat. blagojevich started serving a 14 year sentence back in 2012. hallie jackson is with me from the white house of course. and our justice security analyst also with me, matt former spokesman for the justice department under obama. but why talk of the possible pardons and commutations now, why talk of them period? >> well, let me explain how it went down that we even heard from the president about the possible pardons and commutations. w

[crowd boos] [applause] he showed right away that he has the power he can pull off and kim jung-un ones that and i'd be willing to bet that high-level government officials are looking at the business end of an anti- aircraft at this point. kim jung-un ones that because he likes being famous. greg: is now on the world stage a lot of people don't like that but the fact is sometimes you bring people onto the stage in order to change them, i believe, i don't know there's a ton more to it but simply backing away in the liberal media was all over. they would rather not have world peace and trump succeed but him pulling out is they can wrap and this is how real negotiation works. greg: it seems like the media has never bought a car, you know question. >> suite question. greg: moving on, kat. >> i was still thinking about the delusion stripper which i really enjoyed. i thought the delusion stripper was a stormy daniels. [laughter] or a lawyer that gives delusion to strippers. greg: nice play on words, my friend. >> i don't know i feel like we should be lucky that trump does not use ms 13 as the

president trump canceling the planned meeting with north korea's leader kim jung-un.t where we go from here. also, controlling the message. right now we are in the middle of two highly controversial, highly political sized meetings between members of congress and justice department. it is all about how the fbi carried out its russia investigation. a lot of folks asking why are there two separate meetings for the same intel. maybe the question should be why are there meetings at all. plus, anthem outcry. the president now says nfl players who kneel for the national anthem or stay in the locker room, maybe they shouldn't even be in this country. i'll talk to a former army green beret and nfl player about the new rules and his goal just having people fight less and

. >> new science tonight that the canceled summit between president trump and kim jung-un could soon be back on. but nbc news has obtained exclusive information from three u.s. officials that a recent intelligence assessment concluded north korea has no intention of giving up its nukes any time soon am but may offer to open up a western hamburger franchise in its capitol as a gesture of good will. >> trevor: yeah, okay,s it's interesting. okay. so instead of shutting down its nuclear program, north korea sin sted offering to open a burger joint, yes, yeah, i don't even know how that makes sense. like i like to think that that was intended to be kim jung-un opening gambit, a ridiculous low ball opening to get the ball rolling but trump heard hamburgers and we are like we're in, where is my nobel prize, nobel, nobel, burger, burger. a burger restaurant is such an absurd come down from complete denuclearization it is almost like if you would ask a woman to marry you and she says no, but i will wear this new hat. (laughter) now we done know what hamburger restaurant they are going to ep

so to make things right with kim jung-un, i would like to offer from "the daily show," john bolton'smustache. yeah, as a token of our good will, kim jong, don't ask me how i got t just know that i did. we'll be right back. (applause) [thoughtful sigh] still nervous about buying a house? a little. thought i could de-stress with some zen gardening. at least we don't have to worry about homeowners insurance. just call geico. geico helps with homeowners insurance? good to know. been doing it for years. that's really good to know. i should clean this up. i'll get the dustpan. behind the golf clubs. get to know geico. and see how easy homeowners and renters insurance can be. i was eating a milky way. hey pass me that bug spray. at least it was spf 50. mmm... sorry. we can now simulate the exact anatomyh care, of a patient's brain before surgery. if we can do that, imagine what we can do for seizures. and if we can fix damaged heart valves without open heart surgery, imagine what we can do for an irregular heartbeat, even high blood pressure. if we can use analyze each patient's breast canc

reporter: as for north korea, the president saying that the details for his historic meeting for kim jung-un had been set. >> we now have a date and we have a location. we'll be announcing it soon. >> reporter: so at the end of all that after a confusing week here at the white house, not much clarity on whether the president did or didn't know about those payments to stormy daniels or what his relationship is with rudy giuliani. one thing is clear, there is still a credibility crisis here in the oval office. jeff zeleny, cnn, the white house. >>> and there is possibly more legal trouble for mr. trump's personal attorney michael cohen. the "wall street journal" reports that if the 2016 presidential campaign was heating up, cohen took out two lines of credit totaling some $774,000. one was on his manhattan apartment while another was on a trump tower condo owned by his wife's parents. cohen is under criminal investigation because of his business dealings potentially including his role in the stormy daniels payoff which he says he paid out of a home equity line. much to discuss here. amy green

don't try to negotiate at the table with kim jung-un. let the experts do that. >> let me ask you about iran because we expect there may be a decision next week it will in fact disappoint the your opinions especially and breakout or at least decide not to continue waving the sanctions and maybe give small chance of a compromise or they would give time for your opinions to fix the problem but in any case it's more likely that it will follow his instincts on it. you worked so hard to bring the p5 together on sanctions which eventually led to them coming to the table and you know how hard it is to reimpose the sanctions. what is the downside here given how european companies may react and how iran might react? >> well, i think it is well-known that i helped to start the p5 plus one for this is not a deal i personally would find. i think it was we left the better deal on the table because were anxious to get a deal. that said i probably would've stayed in the deal because of the alliance management issues and essentially when the united state

there are things about kim jung-un especially with his grandfather quite literally he is modeled after him just as the way he does that is why he started to gain weight to look more like his grandfather. so that is sets in the direction that bv that the ambassador is correct he will be more open to change essentially. on the other hand he was selected by his father instead of his two brothers and that might lead us to think he was more hard-line and less flexible so perhaps more like came jong il then we suspect. but we just don't know. i am an academic so my hypothesis is that when you are in trench relationship often if you don't have contact it self perpetuates that when you start to engage in contact it is easier to talk about real issues and substance. and regardless of personality so that will lead us to better understand the issues in front of us and come to terms again with these real issues that need to finding in spite of personalities. >> so do you think that gives him more of a chance to talk to the united states or south korea better than the predecessors? >> for five year

kim jung un is radically different from gorbachev and donald trump is radically different from ronalddifferent situation, something donald trump is going to have to take into account, the new secretary of state, mike pompeo reported kim jung un might be a dictator we laugh at, he apparently is a crafty, smart guy, i think he will be prepared to get his own way and donald trump has to be on his best game. stuart: thanks for joining us, appreciate it. back to the school shooting in texas, kr iv, fox affiliate in houston, reporting eight dead. police say one shooter is in custody, a second is being detained. we will keep you updated on this developing story. back to the markets, we go through them every day, we check out the price of gold still below $1300 an ounce, 1290 to be precise, bit coin is down right at $8000 a coin as we speak. we have other headlines. gina haspel has been confirmed as head of the cia. hawaii's kilauea volcano has erupted and more explosions could happen any moment. a plume of ash 6 miles into the a, a spike in toxic gas levels, they are handing out masks to res

look broadly, the economy, voters like peace makers and trump is preparing for the summit with kim jung-un, i think trump's message on manufacturing and trade is strengthening his base, is getting people on the not so much the republican voters, but those kind of obama voters who switched for trump, all of a sudden they are saying that is why i voted for him, to bring our factories back. so in the political sense i think he is okay. >> voters already believe that all politicians are liars. and so you're saying trump is a liar? how is that any different than any other politician? >> and the answer is 3,000 lies. right? >> but your only answer is volume. >> correct. >> i know. and that is the -- the voter would say so? >> okay. what are we here for? >> i guess the question is, it does eventually matter. the argument i made this morning was bill clinton didn't pay a price in 1998. but hillary clinton paid bill clinton's price in 2016. eventually donald trump and the republicans will pay a price. >> and bill clinton replaced by george w. bush ran on honor and integrity in the presidency. so ho

at least in the short term we can see something positive and the same way that happened with kim jung-un he basically became a nuclear power and does not need any tests and he doesn't need any tests to put his hydrogen bomb and he feels that it's totally unpredictable and not just unpredictable as under the bush or under obama but you really are unpredictable so kim jung-un decides to [inaudible] and to wait till midterm and wait another two and half years and see what happens and his grandfather did it and now he tries -- >> one of the critiques that you know very well barack obama is that he was so rational in his approach to the world into american adversaries that no one was scared of him and do you are what you're suggesting is that there is some benefit here and actual benefit to having these adversaries of the united states being genuinely afraid of donald trump and you believe they're generally afraid of donald trump more cautious in their actions because he so unpredictable. >> the great german that once said in faust there is a power and magic and i'm not sure that the presiden

and we're also mindful that kim jung-un is unpredictable. you can't rely on what he is say ppg saying. we have issues beyond the nuclear issues including human rights violations. so we know that this will be a complicated process, but we hope that it will lead to a resolution of the current crisis. and for that, we have to be patient and we shouldn't pre-judge. >> if you are a betting man, sir, do you believe june 12 the summit between the president and kim jung-un will happen? >> well, i'm hopeful that it will happen. i'm hopeful that we will be able to advance diplomacy. i do want to make sure that question are adequately prepared and we are working with our allies in the region, working with china so we have a common strategy and have realistic expectations as to what could be achieved during that first meeting. it is not going to resolve all the issues. we'll have to have verification on whatever it done. but hopefully it will lead to ultimately eliminate the nuclear threat. >> always good to see you, sir. thank you for joining me. >>> n

have you spoken to kim jung un? >> there's no reason to discuss that. for a short. of time we had been dealing with north korea and it has been a good experience. they're very happy. i can only speak for a very short. of time will see how long it continues to work. can you tell us more about the meeting with rob rosenstein. the congress would like to see documents opened up. a lot of people are saying they had spies in my campaign. that would be one of the biggest. it would make every political event ever look like small potatoes. we want to make sure that there weren't. some men get paid based got paid based on what i read in the newspapers that's not a normal situation the kind of money you're talking about. the department of justice wants to get that. hopefully they will all be be able to get together. setting up a meeting between congress in the various representatives and they will be able to open up documents and take a look and find out what happens. during my campaign for political purposes that would be unprecedented in the history of our country. seamen ca

one of the big questions is why is the right hands to kim jung un, the former spy chief coming to the major differences or minor differences at this point still to be worked out? the japanese prime minister, s ashinzo abe will be meeting with donald trump. in north america regardless because of the g-7 taking place a day later in quÉbec about a strategy session will take place on june 7th and the white house yesterday and today and today is starting to describe this as the expected meeting between donald trump and kim jung un, using that word. when might be expected june 12th or somewhere down the line. charles: appreciate it. the new york times is reporting purdue pharmaceuticals new is opioids were being abused shortly after introducing them but they continue to market them aggressively. that is coming up and donald trump getting ready to head to national for a rally, he is there to support marsha blackburn absented campaign and promote his tax cuts, the ones democrats say are bad for the economy but median household income at an all-time high under donald trump. we are on it next.
