menendez, who mostly is sane and sensible in his approach to foreign affairs, even when he disagrees with republican administrations, i hope he backs off of this. but, let's step back for just a minute on this whole thing with north korea. we do need to remember two things. this is my pompeo's presence in pyongyang was so important. we say words and they mean something. to the north koreans they mean something entirely different. for example, denuclearization to us means they abandon their nuclear program. to the north koreans, what that means is america abandons its military support with south korea. we say end the war. the korean war never officially ended. and we say end the war so we're no longer in a state of armistice, but a state of peace. they say that means u.s. troops now need to get out of south korea. we need to be careful about this and keep our expectations low and reasonable. >> dana: before i let you go, we just got a tweet from former president george h.w. bush. he writes about his wife. i always knew barbara was the most beloved woman in the world and, in fact, i us
