henry kissinger, former secretary of state having that opportunity for the better part of an hour justew minutes ago as donald trump was leaving his apartment, that is, dr. kissinger's apartment a few minute ago after that one-hour powwow. bob vander plats had a chance for a one-on-one meeting at the trump tower. he previously endorsed ted cruz. i guess he wanted a feeling out session here. he joins us right now. bob, how did that go? >> firsts of all, it went really well. the good signal for conservat e conservatives conservativ conservatives is donald trump is reaching out, willing to have meetings. this was a private meeting but i think what he's done with henry kissinger, what you're seeing of releasing potential supreme court justice nominees, and then even having a conversation with me. he and i go back five, six years with a relationship. although he was disappointed that i endorsed senator ted cruz, at least he was open to having a discussion, open to listening. there was no endorsement during the meeting. there was no promise of an endorsement. it was really, really a good con

henry kissinger is an elite realist.may say to him "wrecking nato and institutional crises across the board reduces american ability to do things." but henry kissinger no great believer in international institution. he is one of the kingpins of american realism. so while kissinger has become seen as a mainstream guy who helped found and build the international order, he's someone not wed to that and i think he'll probably in a humble and respectful way going to see kissinger as like doing the new hampshire primary for gop candidates, you have to do it, but i think there's less distance between them than many people think. >> john, on china. donald trump surely henry kissinger would have said something. >> well, trump probably would describe it from his point of view as the art of the bluff. he has said we'll never have a trade war with china because i will convince them i mean business and therefore they will make concessions on their currency and other things and therefore we'll never get to the trade war. now henry kis

are keeping this meeting tightly under wraps between donald trump and former secretary of state henry kissinger who was the architect of the nixon administration's china policy. it's a necessary ticket punch for any presidential candidate on the republican side to sit down for a few minutes with secretary kissinger, known as the one of the most knowledgeable people in the world on foreign-policy. charles krauthammer was saying last night that anyone who sits down with him can learn a lot about foreign policy, suggesting trump may need more than one meeting with henry kissinger to make up for the perceived deficit he has in foreign-policy. we don't know what time the meeting is going to take place. i told sometime around midday and we don't know where whether it will be at trump tower which we don't think it will be or over at mister kissinger's offices on park avenue or potentially at his home but we are watching closely, john and the second this motorcade starts to roll we will let everyone know. foreign-policy is something very much in the mind of donald trump in the last few days. he gave an

henry kissinger spoke about donald trump over the fox business network in december. when he was on, dr. kissinger was not a very big fan of trump's proposal to ban muslims, at least temporarily, from coming in to the united states. he said he'd be more comfortable he said at the time with someone other than donald trump being the republican nominee. but that was then some time ago, about six months ago. this is now. we expect this meeting between the two of them to happen any moment now here in manhattan. >> all right, we are waiting with bated breath. thank you. >>> here is what kissinger had to say back in january when asked whether trump would be able to run the white house without any political experience but with the right advisors. >> the inflow of challenges to the president, just the operation of the government and the choices that the president has to make would raise the question how does he know which are the press people. >> fben collins served three tours of duty in afghanistan. a great panel to talk to us today. will mr. trump get the endor endorsement o

jacob rascon is out side henry kissinger's office. i think the motorcade just pulled up, correct? >> reporter: thomas we just learned in fact the motorcade left trump tower and instead of coming to his offices, went over to kissinger's house a five minute drive away on the upper eastside of manhattan. they already arrived and our cameras have seen trump go into the home. it appears the meeting instead will take place there. we know kissinger and trump have spoken on the phone many times in the past several weeks and now they're meeting face to face. they have a lot to talk about. it's almost become a rite of passage to meet with the former secretary of state. the 92-year-old former diplomat. now, they have to talk about controversial statements, proposals on foreign policy or suggestions as donald trump now calls them on building the wall, the muslim ban and even yesterday in an interview with reuters, talking about his willingness to meet with kim jong un. it appears that meeting is under way. >> the meeting taking place at kissinger's home opposed to the office and comes along th

candidate donald trump to either arrive or leave from meeting with former secretary of state henry kissinger. he may have given the slip to the media but there are no shortages of issues for trump and kissinger to discuss. the fight against isis, chinese and russian aggression, unrest in venezuela, israel, the palestinians, the list goes on. john hannah was vice president of dick cheney's national security advisor and up next on which issue should be the most pressing for the next president. more countdown on the way. before i had the shooting, burning of diabetic nerve pain, these feet learned the horn from my dad and played gigs from new york to miami. but i couldn't bear my diabetic nerve pain any longer. so i talked to my doctor and he prescribed lyrica. lyrica may cause serious allergic reactions or suicidal thoughts or actions. tell your doctor right away if you have these, new or worsening depression, or unusual changes in mood or behavior. or swelling, trouble breathing, rash, hives, blisters, muscle pain with fever, tired feeling or blurry vision. common side effects are dizziness,

here to help, not to sell. >>> donald trump met with henry kissinger.fter trump proposed what would be a major shift in u.s. policy to north korea. in an interview with reuters, the republican presumptive nominee said he would have no problem speaking to north korean leader kim jong-un to shut down the nation's nuclear program. he said he would absolutely try to talk sense into the dictator. mr. trump's resume does not include foreign policy experience, he is not a policy professional obviously, but that does not give him pause. here is randi kaye. >> our foreign policy is a complete and total disaster. no vision. no purpose. no direction. no strategy. >> reporter: donald trump thinks he can do better as commander in chief on russia. >> some say the russians won't be reasonable. i intend to find out. if we can't make a deal under my administration, then we will quickly walk from the table. >> reporter: russian president vladimir putin called trump bright and talented. trump in response called putin a highly respected man. trump hinted at wanting closer

realist foreign policy establishment figures in the republican party, james baker, richard birt, henry kissinger, not the neoconservatives like bill kristol and robert kagan and others that are important but they represent another divide, another wing in the foreign policy establishment. to some degree the gap between kissinger and trump, he's like a turbocharged realist in this and the two of them are going to get the other meeting kissinger and the republican party like the new hampshire primary. everybody has to do it. but there's a lot less distance than a lot of people are arguing right now because trump came out and said he's about national interest, about america first. and while kissinger doesn't want trump to rep nato, a lot of things sounds like old kissinger. >> what about the fact that henry kissinger was the guy that arranged the meeting in china between nixon in '72 and we've heard donald trump for the better part of almost a year now rail against china, the manipulation of the currency, trade stuff as well. how do you reconcile those two things? >> well, donald trump gave one seri

reporter: hey there, david looks like it lasted little over an hour donald trump and henry kissinger.t secretary of state's residence east side of manhattan. trump motorcade pulled up over an hour ago and pulled away a few minutes ago. mr. trump came out of mr. kissinger's residence. what did they talk about on the inside? you would love to be a fly on the wall this is what you do when you become the presumptive nominee of the republican party. what people are doing for years, visiting henry kissinger tapping into the vest of knowledge on things he picked up over the years. certainly no shortage of topics. trump's much talked about plan to build a wall. neil cavuto had dr. kissinger back as a guest on fox business network he said at the time, kegs inker did, was not supportive of that trump plan to ban muslims. did they talk about that? a has he either changed his mind or able to change trump's mind. certainly something to think about. you will talk more about this. this is part of the process david for example donald trump. it is not just on foreign policy as we watch the campaign de

trump's critics say he could use some pointers. >> henry kissinger has a very tall order. ike trying to tame a bucking bronco, but kissinger is a very respected figure and he hope he knocks some sense into donald trump. >> reporter: last december, kissinger took issue with the call for temporary ban on muslims to enter the u.s. >> i would urge him not to make such a blanket exclusion, and i would only hope he would become comfortable with another nominee. >> reporter: he was asked about the most dangerous place he visited in the world. trump joked brooklyn, then added seriously there are places in america among the most dangerous places in the world. oakland and ferguson, the crime numbers are worse. with trump on the verge of winning the nomination, he is spending much of his time in the office, gearing up for the general election. announcing a new fund-raising arrangement with the rnc this week. his campaign is also hitting back at news stories he doesn't like, such as the article in "the new york times" on his treatment of women. his daughter is defending her father. >>

this is the actual facts about henry kissinger. he's been a wedge issue on the democratic side, because hillary clinton has touted the fact he praised her and there has been some -- he got an award the other day i think from the obama administration. and bernie sanders is basically said i want to have nothing do with this guy. he is not as toxic a figure on the right as he is on the left. >> i also would not say he is necessarily represented of theny -- neowe conservative that he has alienated. it somehow gives him credibil y credibility, or he thinks it does, but it doesn't mend the fences he thinks he needs to mend. >> but trump is a pr guy. he is a flim-flam guy. he is generating a headline and figuring people will gloss over and not dig deeper, and come out with another headline tomorrow. >> the deeper thing, alise, you've been at the center of the fight at foreign policy, something you've lived. to me, the best, the only real precedent for someone like trump getting the nomination, if you look at the foreign policies is george

so henry kissinger has a tall order. it's like trying to tame a bucking bronco. issinger is a very respected figure and i hope he knocks some sense into donald trump. >> nic, how would america's allies feel if an american president would sit down with kim jong-un? >> that's -- if i hear you correctly -- >> i'm having trouble hearing you at the moment, sorry. >> can you hear me now, nic? >> yes, i can. go ahead. >> i was just asking how would american allies feel if an american president sat down with kim jong-un? >> it would give them cause for concern because it's not something that that i have seen before. but i think in terms of the chinese, they have said that they are an ally, particularly in this situation, where they have said they are willing and believe it's better to have direct negotiations between the united states and north koreans and believe that is a good thing. for the south koreans, this -- who would most -- be most keenly affected in all of this. this would be a departure but clearly they are understand that the goal would be to reduce the tensi

you don't get more establishment than henry kissinger. kissinger has been critical of donald trump. he's opposed of the muslim ban. he would be more comfy with another nominee. he said glowing things about hillary clinton. so i guess the question is, what do you suppose is going to come out of this meeting? things that you could put in headlines or things that you can't? >> your guess is as good as mine. however, i do know mr. trump very well and i know that he likes to meet with people who are highly respected as dr. kissinger is and meet with them to get his input. so i think it's going to be a great meeting. and i look forward to hearing how it goes. >> did he request it or anybody else suggest it? like did the rnc suggest it or henry kissinger reach out? do you have any idea? >> i'm sorry. i don't have the specifics. >> i know very few people do. >> i would think you're right. >> ryan, let me ask you this. the comment about being okay with, you know, reaching out and talking with kim jong-un of north korea, at the same time, almost wit

there can be nothing in trump's talk about china that henry kissinger likes the sound of. >> nixon and kissinger, they got it. they had a plan, a policy, they executed the policy. trump has no plan, no policy. he doesn't understand this. he got in a big fight with the prime minister of great britain who said something unattractival about him and trump went right back after him. you can't continue to do that as president of the united states. people are not going to take you seriously. >> they said trump's vp should have some diversity, of age, gender, ethnic diversity. what do you make of that? and the names we're hearing? i think probably chairman was trying to open up the field to potential candidates and used the wrong word. >> we saw newt gingrich who said yes, i would like to do it and surely there are others out there. you have to believe you have no other future in elektival politics if this doesn't work out. you have to be somebody like gingrich with nothing to lose. >> i think he's going to look for an insider but someone who's serving as a governor, maybe came up through the

henry kissinger, the honorary chairman of the center for the national interest. and it's the center for the national interest where donald trump did his one and only very big scripted foreign policy speech. so kissinger was not at that event, but i think it is taking those notions that trump put forward on america first and through a prism of national interest that he is going to talk with kissinger about where that gap is between them. and it may be narrower than many of us think. >> when you say it may be narrow, how do you -- when you look at the gap, what do you see? >> well, kissinger, who was an architect and a key stakeholder and really the post world war ii international security system as we have it today is nonetheless not a static guy. he also would agree with bob gates and trump that european nations are not doing enough to pay for their own defense. that they ought to chip in more. he would argue that looking as trump said at ways to talk to china and russia, which trump did not demonize in his speech would be okay. where i think he would council trum

what will history say about henry kissinger? dr. kissinger: i have no objection about this. i have had the good fortune of being able to come to the united peoplewhen many of the germany. i grew up in i have always been deeply grateful to this country, and i know what it represents to the peace in the world. lucky at being able as my profession. involved in order to written about me. there is an extensive record, judged, people will be although i must say the way the mass of material, in the surenet age, i'm not too you can say will come to fruition. i try to do the best i could. that's all i can say.

a live picture outside of henry kissinger's office in new york city. the meeting comes on controversial comments from trump about potentially meeting with kim jong-un. here's some of what trump had to say in an interview with reuters. >> i would speak to him. i would have no problem speaking to him. at the same time, i would put a lot of pressure on china. because economically, we have tremendous power over china. people don't realize that. i would speak to him. i have no problem with speaking to him. >> cnn global affairs analyst bobby gouch. bobby, it would be a pretty dramatic departure from standard u.s. policy not to speak to kim jong-un unless there's a dramatic change in north korea's policies on nuclear issues or social issues, domestic issues. >> indeed. i mean, presidents across the political divide, republican or democratic have made it very clear that a one on one conversation with kim jong-un or whoever the dictator running nuclear arms race. >> at a presidential level to speak with kim jong-un, although there's a dialogue at lower levels

henry kissinger. dr. kissinger and i have known each other since 1967. when he was a relatively young professor at harvard university. and i was a very old ranking -- low ranking member of president johnson's white house staff. in july, 1967, dr. kissinger was a top secret channel for president johnson. through french intermediaries, with north vietnamese prime , and the aging ho chi minh. through dr. kissinger, president johnson offered a bombing halt, -- cessation of bombing would lead to productive discussions between the united states and hanoi. president johnson even proposed a direct meeting between dr. kissinger and hanoi's representatives. and as a good-faith measure, president johnson unilaterally halted bombing in the vicinity of hanoi. the north vietnamese response was entirely negative. and i quote. we can neither received mr. kissing her, nor -- mr. kissinger, nor comment on the american views as transmitted through this channel. in a very highly classified meeting in the cabinet room on october 18, 1967, president johnson, secretary of stat

. >> and history lesson, the presumptive nominee makes a pilgrimage to see henry kissinger a day after trump broke with u.s. policy and said, sure, a president trump would sit down with north korea's kim jong-un. >> i would speak to him. i would have no problem speaking to him. at the same time i would put a lot of pressure on china. we have a lot of power over china. people don't realize that. >>> and good day, everyone. i'm andrea mitchell in washington. donald trump publicly snubbed by the last two republican presidents is courting some of the most prominent public policy advisers. today huddling with former nixon and ford secretary of state dr. henry kissinger, the biggest name in the foreign policy establishment joining me now is nbc's hallie jackson and katy tur both outside trump tower. news from the trump campaign? >> reporter: absolutely, andrea. i've confirmed with the campaign the vp hopefuls will have to submit their tax returns as part of vetting for their potential, their political, financial and tra strategic vetting. donald trump still has not released his tax returns.

sarah palin famously met with henry kissinger.course, long rich history with richard nixon and gerald ford. and you know, probably one of the most groundbreaking secretaries of state that we've ever seen. donald trump certainly wants to check that box, probably wants to hear what secretary kissinger has to say about his policies as well. because if you remember, neil, last week at a senate committee hearing former secretary of state james baker really went off on a couple of donald trump's policies. his idea that he would cut back u.s. involvement or at least funding of nato and the idea that he might allow japan and south korea to have their own nuclear weapons program. the trump campaign immediately requested an audience with secretary baker, which they had in the afternoon of trump's visit to washington just before he departed. they're playing this very close to the vest, too, neil. we don't know whether the meeting will take place here at trump tower or over at henry kissinger's office in new york city or when. we're trying to

everyone goes and kisses the ring of henry kissinger. the reigning republican guru and lord knows donald trump could use henry kissinger's advice. however, i think it will be a lot of educating is in order. i'm not sure that henry kissinger has the patience but it is important that the two men are meeting. >> it is interesting. i was reading, it says that trump has been meeting. what do you think this means in terms of the direction that he is possibly heading? >> i think he needs, what he just proposed which is a meeting with kim jong-il who has vowed -- kim jong-un who has vowed to accelerate his country's nuclear program. who has held 13 americans hostage since 1995. and still holding americans. who is starving half of his country and would like to put the other half in jail. i mean, this is a stunning, stunning proposal. and he will be pilloried for it by many in the republican and democratic foreign policy establishment. you have to remember he made his proposal after suggesting only weeks earlier that south korea and japan develope

trump about to meet with henry kissinger. happening any moment now. kissinger actually endorse trump? we have someone from trump's foreign policy team. >>> plus twin brothers charged with blowing up buildings in penn during their winter break and they targeted the amish. what's with these brothers bombings? >>> and do you hate the long wait lines at the airport? think a pony or therapy unicorn could make your wait better? we'll explain what the heck that's all about six minutes from now.

>> i think anyone can profit immensely from even one hour with henry kissinger.e's the best strategic thinker our country has had for half a century. every time you sit with him, you learn something. one sit-down with henry kissinger, however, will have no affect on donald trump. he would need a very long sessions, plural, with a team of foreign policy leaders. he's not quite prepared to do that. that would make a difference. >> and do you think this party's going to unify, in coming days, as you get ready to move towards cleveland and you get ready to have hillary clinton likely being the presumptive nominee on the other side? >> i think there will be a paper unification. there will be a holding of hands. there will be -- the right words will be spoken. whether there's going to be a profound reconciliation between the base of the party that is conservative and someone who is essentially nonconservative i think is in question. the enthusiasm will probably not be there. it will be unification in name. i'm not sure whether it will be in deed. >> charles krauthammer

trump also meeting with the former secretary of state, henry kissinger. both moves obviously meant to reassure skeptics and showing he's in lockstep with the traditional republican party. this comes on the heels of trump's surprising announcement, is one way of putting it. he would, quote v no problem with meeting with kim jong-un. dana bash has our coverage. dana, this new poll comes at the same time he is working really hard to win over the establishment. >> reporter: we know the establishment, but also shore up conservatives in his own party, and he did it in a way that from my memory, no other nominee in either party has ever done. a list of 11 potential supreme court justices, an unprecedented move that speaks volumes about how much donald trump knows he still needs to convince some gop skeptics he's one of them. >> a lot of people have very worried that if i got in, that if i got in, i would put in the wrong judge. i'm going to put in great conservative judges. >> reporter: cnn was told that during trump's private meeting, speaker paul ryan pressed

today we saw donald trump go down and see henry kissinger. what's up? >> yes. first of all, henry is 92. i think it's a legitimate legit visiting him to kiss his ring. henry depose all the way to president john f. kennedy. it's amazing how long henry has been involved in national security issues. i think it's a good thing. they know each other. they have talked by phone. but this was a good hour long meeting. and i recently visited with henry for a couple of hours. is he still remarkably current and has a lot of very useful insights. >> he has been a guest here "on the record" many times. he has always been fascinating to interview. whole getting into the car and almost like the broncho case o.j. simpson the cameras followed donald trump crossing fifth avenue headed down to see kissinger. >> part of the phenomenon of donald trump and why he won the nomination so decisively. also, sort of caught in this problem now. okay. he is going to be the nominee. should he go listen to really smart people or is that a sign he doesn't know enough? i think it's a pretty smar

trump will meet tomorrow with former secretary of state henry kissinger. we'll have more on that. >> meanwhile house speaker paul ryan fielding questions about p who is the leader of the republican party. >> i hope it is donald trump. he's wrapping up the nomination. the person who did getting the nomination is the person to lead our party. >> we have dan springer standing by in oregon. we begin with rich who is live in lexington, kentucky. rich? >> reporter: good afternoon, jon. hillary clinton is dealing with the democratic primary charger that wins primaries. clinton is hoping to halt that process today. there are delegates at stake. both have been campaign nothing kentucky. clinton turned her attention to the general election with donald trump. but with a major auto industry. clinton hit sanders on a autobail out. >> he voted not to save the auto industry and i voted to save it. we just had the best year for the auto industry in america in history. >> reporter: sanders points out he supported the bail out, one of them. he said the other helped finance

with the experience of a henry kissinger. the second goal is interesting. the event details may donald trump wants to send a message today. the message is he is a realist. that is the word that's used in a realist when it comes to foreign policy. he's been unfairly painted in some way district to be an isolationist, but the america first policy put forward. they say he's a realist i'm a pragmatist. if a negotiator on all of this. kissinger is an interesting person to meet with because it's already on the record and haven't spoken about trump, he did so on this program when you had him on in december. at the time he wasn't a fan of trump's plan to cause a temporary ban on muslims in the united states. watch this. >> i would be -- i do not favor any inclusion on the basis of religion. neil: would you worry if he was the nominee? >> i have not endorsed him -- neil: i guess that i'm asking, if he were the republican nominee. >> if you were the republican nominee, i would urge him not to make such a blanket inclusion and i would b

this is live, leaving henry kissinger's house. is this an example of him trying to mend a relationship, only a fly on the wall knows the true conversation that just happened in this private meeting. it comes as trump is raising more eyebrows after saying he would like to meet with north korean leader kim jong-un. one could only know what kissinger thought about that. currently not committed to endorsing the presumptive republican nominee, not yet, anyway, that's where he is -- congressm congressm congressman kinsinger, thank you for joining me. you say it will make our enemies fear us less. today he's meeting with kissinger and he met with former secretary of state james baker. do you think he's getting the kind of advice that he needs and realizing people like you may have a point to make when it comes to his foreign policy approach? >> i hope so. i can tell you, if he gave henry kissinger an opportunity to speak, he's going to hear about how the world works. my concern has been with the outlandish statements. so just a couple of
