and don't trust north kree. they have a long record of di simulating and going back on any agreement they've ever made. >> harris: or a flat rule i trust in my house, don't trust a dictator. >> there you go. >> harris: i have read that you said that you give this president, quote, enormous credit for where we are right now. i would ask, have you or any other democrat, maybe reached out in any way to offer, i mean, if this gets delayed you might get a little bit more time, offer your perspective on this. >> well, we certainly offered our perspective. i had troubles with the president when he was being very, i would say, tweeting loudly as well as carrying a big stick. i said tweets carry a big stick. we're now in different situation, we're in a situation where this thing has moved as a result of a variety of things. one of which is not often discussed but very, very important. that is the election in south korea. that elected president moon who took a very, very courageous political step, reached out to north kor

first of all, it's neutral ground in the sense it's neither north or south kree a headed in the dmz, it would be on the south korean side. a modern facility, with modern city, with all of the facilities necessary for a summit like this. it is in the heart of asia, which is symbolic, if you're going to have a summit with b. asia you wouldn't want it in sweden or switzerland. it's close enough for kim to travel to fairly easily, it's about 3,000 miles away, and it has excellent security. which is always important when hosting an american president and summit of this nature. the possibility the summit will happen took a major step forward after north korea yesterday allowed three u.s. detainees to go. they arrived shortly after 3:00 in the morning at andrews air force base. joint base andrews. you see them coming out of mike pompeo's 757. kim doing-chul you see him with his hands up, he had been captured in 2015 and was sentenced to 10 years hard labor on charges of espionage. joint statement from the three freed americans, we would like to express our deep appreciation to the united st

americans are in north kree as of now. this is what the president tweeted on this, our united states team has arrived in north korea, to make arrangements for the summit and myself. i believe the summit has great potential. kim jong-un agrees with me on this -- it will happen. >> both of these officials were part of the negotiations in 2005. to our cnn international correspondent in seoul, south korea, the date on the calendar was supposed to be june 12th. does that date stand. >> as of now, it would appear that way. over the last four or five days here, things have riflely changed quite drastically. what you're seeing is concrete steps to push this summit forward. we have a logistic delegation trying to figure out the basic details. where is the summit going to be held the more important part would be what's going on north of us. that's where that american delegation went into the north korean side. what this is this i summit going to look like, is president frumd going to sit across the table and talk about. >> taken in

said the assertions are false and the interview request is denied so as to not give any additional kree debs fcredence allegation. so i found the sheriff at an election event. i'm reporting on a complaint that your office delayed the arrest for media purposes. >> that has already been looked at. i think we've communicated with your channel. >> reporter: it's not true? >> no. >> reporter: this detective is on the record on camera, he shows me some texts as well that says that it is true. >> it's not. >> reporter: detective payton provided text messages from the arrest team that friday more than. they request photos of the suspect and answer, got them, thanks. less than an hour later comes word that the arrest is off till monday, sorry, not my call. payton fired off this e-mail to his supervisors later that day. i feel it would be negligent to leave a child molester free for any amount of time. i understand the desire for positive press, but i don't feel that justifies withholding action. the arrest finally came that tuesday, it received wide media coverage. >> there are reasons sometimes

because of the erratic or lack of a real policy that the president has given, whether it's in the kree he kor any place else. generally, you have a real policy that's articulated that our allies and everyone else can understand. with this administration, there is no policy, there's no plan. there's no plan a or b. you can talk about north korea, you can talk about iran, you can talk about climate. there's no plan that this president or policy of this president seems to be following. >> congressman gregory meeks, thanks for joining us. >> good to be with you. >>> we're following more breaking news. a never before seen details oh of that infamous trump tower meeting before the u.s. presidential election. when the president's son was promised dirt on hillary clinton. plus, scott pruitt's questionable behavior has pushed him back into the hotseat on capitol hill, as the embattled epa chief faces lawmakers on a slew of allegations. >>> did the dealmaker in chief cave to china over trade? the president's firing back on reports that he did just that. i'll speak to the reporter behind the stor

iran has been kree yacut citing creating groups like hezbollah and has been a source of conflict in thision. the fact that iran is now going to be held accountable, and the fact that sanction also be reimposed should be a strong and powerful message to the iranian regime it must change its behavior. >> i know there was another missile attack in riyadh today. what can you tell us? >> there were two missiles intercepted in iraq, which brings the total of 130 missiles launched. these missiles are iranian manufactured, and delivered to the houthis. such behavior is unacceptable. it violates u.n. resolutions with regards to ballistic missiles. and the iranians must be held accountable for this. >> so what does that mean, held accountable? >> we will find the right way and at the right time to respond to this. >> including military action? >> we will make -- we are trying to avoid at all costs direct military action with iran, but iran's behavior such as this cannot continue. this amounts to a declaration of war. what do you call it, a friendly act? of course not. >> foreign minister, thanks s

north kree gentleman, tax reform. >> what's the problem?merican people. we need to get back. >> how are the american people being distracted? >> this is an absolute distraction for this administration, in moving forward. it freezes up a lot of what -- people's time, you only have so much time and so many resources in the white house, if you're dedicating time to the special council resources, you can't accomplish everything. let's go back to the fact that they started asking the president, they started discussions with whether the president is going to be interviewed or not. that signals this thing should be coming to an end soon. and -- if. >> if you're his lawyer, do you tell him to testify? >> if the president agrees. >> you're his lawyer. >> rudy giuliani did a good job out of the gates, that first weekend talking about scope of the questions, time of the questions, it went off the rails going into the following week, but that weekend, talking about time and scope and negotiating, that's all good stuff. and actually having to be able to

>> well, i mean, it is fantastic that we have americans who are coming home who were in north kree a they were put into labor camps over there. so -- >> they were tortured. >> yeah. now that they have come home, which is partly why i'm a little concerned about some of the lack wang donald trump used yesterday when -- the language welcoming them home. he used the opportunity to praise the kim regime and saying the prisoners were treated well. i think it shows, on your show yesterday, republican senator corey gardner said it was important that we recognize the release of these prisoners is a propaganda ploy by this regime. they want the world to look at them and say, hey, look how reasonable this regime is. it's important that the president is not zuckered into thinking it's going to be easy. >> do i want to step in. if senator gardner is watching he'll say he didn't say 50% of what you just said. >> he said it was a propaganda ploy. >> americans are home, kennedy. >> that's right. and that's what north korea does. and i agree with you, that we can't necessarily trust them. let's put t

manganese doesn't have a health level because it is actually regulated because it tastes bad and is kree yating particulates. -- and is creating particulates. and the level is about 50, so that is a text taste and o dar issue. and the public health level for that -- >> supervisors, i am chris boman on the steering committee of the san francisco clean water coalition. eng, if we had had -- again, if we had had earlier notice of this, lisa brommel would have been able to attend, but she simply couldn't do it, so i have to serve double duty here. the maximum contamination level per a lot of con tam nanlts has been made -- of contaminants has been made more strict over the years. if you look at arsenic, for instance, it's basically 1/5 of what it was previously. so it's five times more stringent. there was a professor at the texas a&m university who did a study of birth defects of 3,000 women in texas and in iowa. she found that at 1/10 of the m.c.l. per nitrate injegs, the chances -- of ingegs, the chances were twice the rate of the m.c.l.. when we get a 15% blend, which is what's being pro

. >> and talking about a win of the president versus north kree grand world, as you reflect on what, that will be next? >> right. so the president has the ball in thiz court now which is what he has wanted all along by pulling out of the meet iing before kim jong-un had a chance to stand him up, and that is something that the administration found when they went to singapore to prepare for the meeting, and they were stood up by the north kore koreans, and this is something that the president is clearly unhappy with. the way we move forward is what we are seeing, south korean president moon jae in who is trying to keep it together, whether it is call ing the emergency meeting before the president could win a nobel peace prize for this, and he is trying to be the negotiator here. and the other interesting thing that i will point out for you is the letter that the president sent which is the key line of the only dialogue that really matters here is between you and me here, and he is saying that between them, him and kim jong-un. and he saying that you are unhappy with people like john bo

he traveled to north kree clast summer. spent five years in the region as the china correspondent.on domestic politics. in this week's issue, he dives into president trump's war on washington. i want to start with you. good morning. you were in north korea last summer. give us a window into what that was like and what the people there may be thinking about what is happening now. >> i think they're as bewildered as we are. they have been told for decades that the united states is their enemy. down the street, there are pictures of missiles going into the u.s. capitol. and when i talked to schoolchildren, they would say, why is the u.s. seeking confrontation with us? at the moment, kim jong-un is on some level looking to try the change the public narrative. he was on an unsustainable course with the united states. he's taken radical steps to try the change them. >> president trump says he things kim wants to bring his country into the real world. do you think that's really true? >> up to a point. there's some truth to that. we know that kim jong-un believes his country cannot stay as
