we want to bring in james clapper who has been watching this along with us. director clapper, tell us the significance of what you've just seen. >> well, it's significant but it's hard to separate this from, you know, the juxtaposition of what's going on here in this town or what will transpire a little later this morning washington time. and i do, as others have alluded, i do worry about the president attempting to counterdistract by some big concession to kim jong-un. for example, agreeing to withdraw troops from the peninsula giving up joint exercises in singapore. >> jim, you were in singapore as well when the president met with kim jong-un, and it's striking to see the president of the united states with the north korean dictator not just shaking hands, but patting him on the back, exchanging smiles there in a way at this moment, and i'm talking about 6:31 eastern time hours before michael cohen is about to testify in public, kim jong-un may be the best friend and ally that president trump has right now. they were expressing this moment of warmth there.

abandoning them. >> exactly. >> director clapper, if i could move on to north korea, we now have a date for the president to have a second summit with kim jong-un in vietnam. it's going to be at the end of the february. is that a good idea for the president to meet with kim jong-un again? >> well, you know, it's always better to talk and in my mind this is somewhat of a do-over from the singapore summit. and what i hope is that something substantive will come out of this. i was very interested in the speech made by the special envoy at stanford about -- which read between the lines, would seem to indicate a more -- a more flexible stance than we've taken in the past. and i certainly hope, which i know won't happen, that the president afterwards will profoundly overstate the results of the summit. i think it would really be useful if he would take the opportunity to pose the question to kim jong-un what exactly do you need to feel sufficiently secure so you don't need nuclear weapons? and it would be really good thing to have the answer to that question if we're going to lay out, i think

former director of national intelligence and retired air force lieutenant general james clapper.ore recently the author of facts and fears, hard truths from a life in intelligence. this that the president dismissed his own intelligence agencies conclusions saying i don't care, i believe putin, it's not that hard to imagine him saying that given that he essentially said the same thing in helsinki at the press conference when he talked about information dan coates had told him about that vladimir putin had given a strong defense denying that there was any russian involvement. >> i think that was fairly early on in the administration. and it's part of what has since become a pattern where if the intelligence introduced by the intelligence community doesn't purport with his world view then he rejects it and in this case accepts putin's word over his own intelligence community. and in this particular instance having to do with north korean missiles but later, you know, putin, he accepted denials of meddling in our election over the coordinated and high competence view of the intellige
