really rewrote that script and made it look like president trump was the one who was calling on kim jong un and combination with the perception that president trump as talked about a new process you know indicated the possibility keeps on playing up the relationship with kim jong un and so they may have well thought president trump would give in to a partial denuclearization rather than a complete denuclearization process that he could then use to sell on the campaign trail so when you say he played at times on then yes he has talked very fondly of him has talked about beautiful letters that he's written them eccentric cetera what what is that gotten us. well so far remains to be seen i mean it's true that president trump has met 3 times with the decision maker in north korea but we haven't gotten the decision that the u.s. wants national security adviser bolton notably thought that can draw going to moving in the opposite direction kim jong un is actually sending opposite signals domestically because he spent a lot more time with the scientists than he has with the businessmen in north

least be open to the possibility that kim jong-un may be wanting to keep his nuclear weapons, really for reasons of extortion, maybe to use extortion and to mess with the u.s.-south korea alliance. to use it as the first step in saying what the kim regime says it wants to do, which is to unify the peninsula under the "red banner." to do that, they cannot absorb south korea. south korea is twice as populous , 40 times larger than the north, but what the north has envisioned over the years is dragging south korea down as a way to equalize the playing field and begin this kind of unification. so i think we have to be open to that possibility. if that is the case, what is the appropriate response? i don't think it hurts to talk and have a summit. i think summits were beneficial in a certain way because in the past, they had been approached, it was all bottom-up. there were two out -- there were too many opportunities for spoiling. if there was going to be a breakthrough, it would be with an unconventional president to , with some degree, an unknown quantity in kim jong-un. i think what i
