"face the nation" moderator margaret brennan is in washington. good morning. a few months ago the leaders were calling each other dotard and little rocket man. what has changed? >> awkward first conversation, john. we'll see how that meeting goes, if it happens at all, because today the secretary of state said this decision was made by the president himself after the u.s. was surprised to hear how forward leaning kim jong-un was in his own desire to hold talks. he said as much this week to our u.s. ally south korea and that delegation that visited pyongyang and all of that recounting of that dinner convinced the president to meet with kim jong-un. it sharply contrasts with the hardline rhetoric that the president has been using, but it's not the first time he's offered to meet with the leader of a rogue state without precondition. remember the president asked to meet with iran's president back in september when he was visiting

( laughter ) ( applause ) anyone who's seen it. so it was either this promotion or paying him $130,000. and i'm never doing that again! ( cheers and applause ) and you know, like, i was thinking about this today. in a white house that has more turnover than the throne of wakanda, there's probably only one person who is never going to get fired, and it's the woman who is out there consistently defending the president, white house press secretary and living side-eye emoji, sarah huckabee sanders.
