neil: scott real quickly the north korea situation, both nikki haley, michael pompeo seem to be sayinge were criticized for being with north korea it was really leveled at michael pompeo in his last visit , we expect a timetable for doing the things you promise to do and you haven't done it, which feeds this argument that maybe the north koreans just might not do it. what do you think? >> it is possible they won't do it; however just as important is the message that is being sent out to the world at large, iran is certainly taking notice of this, as is putin, so u.s. strength on this, on these matters is always a good thing because even if north korea negotiations are unsuccessful putin will once again see that the united states has a coherent foreign policy and is willing to speak the tough words and do the diplomacy necessary to get the job done which will ensure increased success on a broad front with a variety of nations. neil: real good to see you thank you for taking the time. my buddy is back with us we always get every time when lee is on because he takes on conventional positi

with the conversation confirms to nbc news that vice president mike pence and secretary of state michael pompeo had a private conversation with president trump to urge him to make clarifications on his comments from the news conference with vladimir putin in helsinki. and so the two mikes came up with the one-word solution. just change that one word and everything's going to be okay. donald trump will not survive the mueller investigation or an impeachment investigation if his lawyers are not much, much better than the two mikes. there were many problems in what the president had to say yesterday, but the one, the one that the two mikes were trying to solve was the spot where the president seems to equate the integrity and judgment of dan coats, his director of national intelligence, with the integrity and judgment of his new friend vladimir putin. the president said, "my people came to me, dan coats came to me and some others. they said i think it's russia. i have president putin. he just said it's not russia. i will say this. i don't see any reason why it would be." that is what the president

we will go to it when mike pompeo starts talking and all of these things that michael refers to, we will bring to you the heated exchanges or the not-so-heated ones. one of the important things that might get heated is that the president has said things about crimea that have been not as certain as mike pompeo and others have said about the annexation about crimea. in helsinki when asked about this, vladimir putin had a different view. he said it's not annexation, it's russian territory. there was a referendum in crim a crimea. let me play the things quickly that donald trump has said about this. >> i would like to know would you recognize crimea as russian territory and also if the u.s. -- >> we'll be looking at that. yeah, we'll be looking. what will happen from crimea from this point on, that i can't tell you but i'm not happy about crimea. but again, that was barack obama's watch, not trump's watch. when it comes to crimea, that's something i took over. there's nothing much i have to say about it other than i'll look at that just like many other disasters i've taken over. >> jane, i'

pompeo said he is looking to fill in details on north korea's commitment to the denuclearize. michael morning. the north continues to update tcomerogram even after the meeting with president trump and there thingsre the reasonable expectations of the outcome of this meeting? or three things, alex, that has tohappen. one is north korea has a make a declaration of the nuclear pabilities. ere trs of weapons, where they truthfow much fissile material, aere the production facilities are, who the scientists are and ocomplete and truthful declaration. and a negotiation on how they dismantle that and what we give in return. at what timetable both things appen. and the last piece is how do you verify going forward that they oing up to their agreement and to't start cheating, right? three pieces. opeould hope that the secretary rymes back with that understanding on both sides and hat's what has to happen here and a specific timetable for the leclaration. when are they going to hand us oing piece of paper. i hope two or three months from now. >> as you mentioned, we still don't have an accountin

i agree with michael, it's important to give him some space. i think secretary pompeo's trip will be instrumental in terms of deciding whether the north koreans have made a strategic decision to denuclearize. i still don't think we know the answer to that question. i think the singapore summit left that pretty much unanswered for most folks. it's clear that the north koreans are proceeding with their program at pace. so pompeo's trip is even more critical now. i'm a little cynical. i actually think that president trump and even to some degree secretary pompeo are perfectly willing to ride this horse as long as possible to serve the success narrative on north korea through the midterms and the end of the year at least. i think that this -- the president clearly feels that's working for him politically. he's driving the success narrative. so i think pompeo is going to urgently point to some sort of progress. >> remember, this went from the goal of they need to show some historic action before we have a summit to, oh, well, the summit is the deliverable. there's the accompl

he wants to distract us from michael cohen, taping conversation, from the awful week he had following the helsinki summit. what's pompeo doing here? >> well, look, i think this is a whole of government approach. i think you're right, they're trying to turn the page away from the russia controversy, that fallout in the wake of the helsinki summit, but they're also responding to that warning by iran's president. remember the maximum president campaign, stef, that we saw the president take towards north korea. this is the threat of new sanctions next month hangs over this entire war of words. this escalation we are seeing. i asked sarah sanders if this is merely an attempt to change the subject away from russia. take a listen to what she had to say. >> i think the president has the ability, unlike a lot of those in the media, to actually focus on more than one issue at a time. and certainly we know the media's obsessed with speaking about all russia, all the time, but the president's focused on a lot of things taking place across the globe and iran is one of them and it's been something we talked about. >> does he run the
