north korea meeting is good, but it's an accomplishment nonetheless. you have the two major developments and you also have the cloud of everything else. sam nunberg and stormy daniels. in some ways that tells the story of this administration. >> he does. president trump likes the sensation of it all, he's a tabloid guy. he likes to do things first. he likes to do things people won't say. then you have the outside spectacle of what's happening building around the white house, looming, the mueller investigation. it kind of plays into each other. it's funny that the north korean news bumped everything else off the front page last night when you had stormy daniels and his own tariffs push. that news took over. this is the story of the trump administration. >> matt lewis, it's interesting. the administration wants to take credit for the north korea summit. mike pence put out a statement that president trump's trat gee to ice late the kim regime is working, the north koreans are coming to the table despite the u.s. making zero concessions. the white house is getting credit for the maximum pressure campaign, the sanctions and the like. what the

started with sam nunberg, we end with an unprecedented invitation to meet with the north korean leaderg gave a series of interviews that made people question, and rightly so, his state of mind. he's stepped away. probably the best thing for him and his family. then you had the gary cohn, the economic adviser resigning. then you have all this new intrigue in stormy daniels, and who knows what really comes out in the courts. the court of public opinion has been ratcheted up. the next day the tariffs roll out and all the confusion around it and the weak justification for it in terms of national security. and then here on friday, the president agrees to meet with north korea's kim jong un. let's get "the bottom line" from cnn political director david chalian. i wonder what this means. you can't control the nunberg thing, that was an x factor. he popped up on his own. what does this mean? is this a reflection of just the new normal, or is this about how situations are managed? >> i think it's a reflection of the president as well and how he works. just looking at the title of that graphic y

sam brock, nbc bay area news. >> president trump says he will meet with north korean leader kim jong-un and many people are askingreally happen. the meeting would be the first-ever face-to-face between leaders of the u.s. and north koreaful they would talk about ending north korea's nuclear program. members of the trump administration are staying cautiously optimistic, they say, because north korea has made promises like this before. >> a dramatic way that in all honesty, it was a surprise to us. >> the white house says there is no firm timetable on exactly when the talks would happen. >>> the u.s.' relationship with russia sure is not a strong one, especially after evidence of russian election hacking. last night in an exclusive interview income tax nbc's megyn kelly went to russia to get some answers from vladimir putin. >> if the 13 russian nationals plus 3 russian companies did in fact interfere in our elections, is that okay with you? >> translator: i don't care. i couldn't care less. because they don't represent -- >> you couldn't care less? >> translator: they do not represent the government. i could not c

so, sam stein, to believe there's some type of a deal to be had between the united states and north korea, typically, obviously, a high-level meeting like this, highest possible meeting, this deal would be wired already. there would be something that we had agreed to and he had agreed to as well. but you have to believe that north korea would be willing to give up its nuclear program, the one thing that's given it any power and prestige over the past several years. why on earth would kim jong-un give up his nuclear program and be left with, frankly, nothing? >> it's a good question. i don't know if he will. i think what joe was talking about with the iran nuclear deal and obama is actually a fairly good reflection point in parallel to look at this. i went back and read some of the reporting there. first of all, obama in 2007 announced that he would agree to meet without preconditions by accident. it's a funny story from the campaign. he had meant that as a policy condition, but he said it and it polled well and he stuck to it. in reality, he never met with leaders without preconditions. i
