the president has become very good friends with otto warmbier's parent had mentioned otto warmbier often in relation to dealing with north korea but the fact that donald trump think the tragedy of otto warmbier was the turning point that help to bring north korea around and change the paradigm of relations between the united states and north korea really is an important thing. rob: i totally agree with you but for four hou, do you feel you will witness something you will never forget, historic top five things that is was unfolding, cannot believe i am here. >> when we first heard being at the white house when the national security adviser said kim jong un has invited the president r a meeting of the president said yes, we were stunned by that and then the promise of this meeting happening in the present withdrew the invitation and said it won't happen and that got back on track because we knew it was a negotiating tactic and everybody in this room and the assembled press who work in this room, dignitaries from singapore and south korea were so looking forward to this as a potential histo

i believe the president when he says otto warmbier did not die in vain. that really did cast a very bright light on what was going on in north korea. i think so pivotal in terms of being able to get pows, m.i.a. remains home, to be able to negotiate for the other hostages that were held there. that does matter to those families and those that have been grieving and looking to bury their loved ones. i say let's give this a chance. kudos to our president for being able to make this happen which some people didn't think -- >> juan: what do we get out of this? we say we're going to stop our exercises with south korea. what do we get in return? we get promises, pledges. oh, my gosh. >> greg: you are such a baby, juan, about this. >> juan: we got complete denuclearization? >> kimberly: we got a promise to work towards it. it's better than not doing it. >> juan: your people who say the iran deal stinks, right? the iran deal, the iranians didn't have nukes. we had a deal to stop them from getting them. >> greg: now they are quickly getting them. how did that happ

he credited otto warmbier being the tipping point here, whether that is true or not, that's how he interpretedt. >> it's a nice sentiment and i believe that his feelings are very heartfelt when it comes to the warmbier family, this is a despotic regime. they abuse their people. it is almost unparalleled when it comes to the human rights abuses that the north korean government imposes upon its people. you know, i'm sure you've seen north koreans and south koreans in terms of the starvation of the north koreans. south koreans, i think, are the average south korean is taller, weighs more and obviously it's the same people. >> yeah. president trump was asked about those human rights abuses at the press conference. so listen to this. >> the man you met today, kim jong-un, as you know, has killed family members, has starved his own people, is responsible for the death of otto warmbier. why are you so comfortable calling him very talented? >> well, he is very talented. anybody that takes over a situation like he did at 26 years of age and is able to run it and run it tough. >> what do you, president

otto warmbier is a very special person. and he will be for a long time in my life. hink without otto, this would not have happened. something happened from that day. it was a terrible thing. it was brutal. but a lot of people started to focus on what was going on, including north korea. >> reporter: warmbier, a college student at the university of virginia, had no idea his life would change so dramatically in january 2016, when north korea imprisoned him for stealing a propaganda poster during a group tour of the country. he was 21. >> think of my family. >> reporter: warmbier was officially handed 15 years of hard labor. unofficially, it was a death sentence. >> i have made the worst mistake of my life. >> reporter: after 17 months in prison, warmbier was released on humanitarian grounds. but he arrived home in a vegetative state and died six days later. >> otto warmbier has just passed away. >> reporter: the north koreans claimed that warmbier contrac d ed botulism after taking a sleeping pill. the cause of his brain damage was never determined. but his father beli

otto warmbier was detained for 17 months only to be returned to his family in a coma.ed shortly after coming home in of last year. in april his parents filed a wrongful death lawsuit against north korea. >> the horribleness of what north korea did to him was so devastating to our family, we experienced a shop i have never experienced in my life as a family, we needed to come together and process this as best we could. over the past three months, we've started the grief process, my kids are amazing. and now we see north korea with the tensions, claiming to be a victim. and they're claiming that the world is picking on them. we're here to tell you, north korea is not a victim we felt it was time to tell the truth about the condition that otto was in. he had severe brain damage. he was systematically tortured and intentionally injured by kim jong-un and liz regime. >> can't help but think about the parents we spoke with last year. mike pence says he did speak with warmbier's parents over the weekend and assured them the president was going into the summit with the 23578ly

this historic quest for peace, i ensure -- i can assure you that he also goes with the family of otto warmbier on his heart. i spoke to otto's father today and told him of how the president spoke of their son and the rose garden this week. describing him in his words, as a brilliant, beautiful and terrific young man. and so he was. and in the words of the otto warmbier's faith and tradition, may his memory be a blessing. today, i assured his father as the president said two days ago, their beloved son, otto warmbier, will not have died in vain. [applause] as the president makes his way across thet pacific, i know that he goes with all of our hopes and our support. but i want to say to all those gathered here, make sure he also goes with your prayers. when i told the president this morning, that i knew that people across the country were praying for him, he responded quietly, saying i know. i know. as the president and i both know, while strong american leadership has accomplished much, the effective and fervent prayers of a righteous people can of a less availeth much more.

otto warmbier says the president intended to say the threat is reduced following the nuclear summit.ors from both sides introducing a bill for more oversight for talks with north korea calling for any agreement with kim jong un to be turned over to congress in five days. we should find out today when and where donald trump will hold his first official summit with russian pres. vladimir putin. why is the summit so significant and will a partisan collusion probe overshadowed the groundbreaking sitdown. retired cia station chief in moscow dan hoffman, thank you for joining us. the significance, big announcements where and when it will happen. >> the darkest days of the cold war when pres. reagan was calling the soviet union an evil empire and rightly so in my view the united states and russia were meeting for high-level and productive diplomatic negotiations particularly on arms control and no different today. there are areas we have mutual interest and need to negotiate with the russians and plenty of areas we disagree starting with espionage activities and cyber attacks and there is v

secretary of state mike otto warmbier jumped on a plane and headed to south korea where he will meet and south korea. does this give thean update on what exactly this does for kim jong un, so relevant to r lives and speaking with the leader of japan in south korea and they have a lot on this. it all hinges on everybody getting along. china has their sanctions implemented right now in north korea and there has been word they might be relieving those sanctions which could spell trouble for any kind of a deal. jillian: interesting to see how this plays out. this will not happen over night. over the course of the next few months, years, depending how long it will take north korea to completely denuclearize, has been agreed to on tuesday between the two leaders. rob: kim jong un saying he's willing to leave the past behind and the world will see a major change. there have been empty promises from north korea in the past. the administration got some criticism for not putting anything in this very brief deal that was signed yesterday regarding verification of denucleazation. critics quick t

let me ask you about otto warmbier.verything i heard from staffers suggest that the president was personally very moved by the pain and suffering of otto warmbier. however, he didn't bring up human rights. he didn't bring up the atrocities that kim jong-un carries out on a daily basis on his own population. so square that circle for me. >> otto warmbier did affect the president. humanights abuses in north korea were in a state of the union speech. what we saw yesterday or this morninis what he has done time and time again. this was a template that was established on his very first foreign trip. i was he said i'm not here to lecture. i'll respect you, you respect me. he has creeded that bully pulpi american presidents have. american presidents deal with unsavory characters from time to time in the name of strategic interests. but to have it be so blatant, this pragmatism. he said it's rough. it's rough in a lot of places, by the way, not just there. it was a moral equivocation that sounded a lot like char s fine with tor

, saying the otto warmbier did not die in vain.s a pivotal moment. it was one year ago today that otto warmbier was released by north korea. in terms of symbolism, what about the symbolism of that? people on the right and left following the conversation on social media last night, ardent supporters of president trump for some of the other by the appearance of the american flag standing right alongside the flag of north korea. >> well, i understand people's concern. the most important thing here and gordon chang and i admire him so much as i listen to them before you start talking about these things. i don't think the president loses any leverage by a meeting with kim jong un, the flax together from flax together, photo labs because everyone knows he's a different president. there's no chance he's going to cave. there's no chance he will walk away with less than what he said he wanted. he's got surrounding him like pompeo and bolton and others, which is exactly at the second and third tiers under a previous president. otto warmbier,

otto warmbier is a very special person and he will be in a long time -- for a longime in my life. parents are very good friends of mine. he did not die in vain, he had a lot to do with why we are here today. >> of the president had more to say about otto warmbier in our interview. it's a strategy of peace through strength and a strategy of bribery and appeasement through bowing through dictators. now tonight the similarities between former president reagan and president trump are now coming into the floor. the weak and feckless leadership, they were left to deal with a world and the same can be said of obama's people of earth's that give the opportunity to usher in trump. ragan is calling the former soviet union and evil empire with many in the media freaking out that the california ragan, was leang us toward a let's go thrgh history. >> they have preached the supremacy of the state. and th domination of all oples on the earth. they are the focus of evil on the modern world. so in your discussions, i urg you to be aware of the temptation of pride and temptation of lively declaring

university of virginia student otto warmbier was detained for nearly a year and a half for stealing ater. >> please, i have made the worst mistake of my life. >> reporter: he was released only to return to the united states in a coma, and would die days later. the president addressed the controversy in a press conference after his meetings. >> kim jong-un, as you know, has killed family members, has starved his own people, is responsible for the death of otto warmbier. why are you so comfortable calling him very talented? >> well, he is very talented. anybody that takes over a situation like he did at 26 years of age and is able to run it and run it tough. i don't say it was nice or i don't say anything about it. i think without otto, this would not have happened. something happened from that day. it was a terrible thing. it was brutal. but a lot of people started to focus on what was going on. including north korea. >> reporter: but can the same man responsible for so many human rights abuses really be trusted as a partner in peace? >> you trust him? >> i do trust him, yeah. now, wil

ainsley: what do you think happened to otto warmbier. t seen what happened to otto. what do you think happened to him? >> he was beaten to death by north korean prison guards. the north korean is a brutal dictatorial slave state. ainsley: the other three came back safely, now his family, they're left to wonder why did you do that to our precious child? >> yeah, i mean, i wish i had some sort of vision why that happened but if the president really wants to make sure otto warmbier didn't die in vain, it is incumbent to be harsh as humanly possible on kim regime rather than hand-holding, giving thumbs up. i don't think he deserves the trump thumbs up yet. brian: they're a bizarre country in north korea the president always said, lindsey graham backed him up, one way or another this will get solved in the first term. hire it will be peaceful way or through conflict, this current situation can no longer exist. the -- status quo doesn't work. they need to understand the military threat. do you buy that? >> they certainly need to understand the

when a reporter asked him about otto warmbier, the college student who died at the hands of the kim regime and the president has said he's good friends with otto's parents, and then the lack of at least a deep discussion with kim jong-un about human rights atrocities. here's the president's explanation. >> so passionately about the circumstances that led to otto warmbier's death. in the same breath you're defending kim jong-un's human rights record. how can you do that? >> you know why? because i don't want to see a nuclear weapon destroy you and your family. >> you just declared the threat is over. >> i don't want to see a nuclear weapon destroy you and your family. i want to have a good relationship with north korea. i did a great job this weekend. >> are the two mutually exclusive, that addressing human rights atrocities means you can't prevent nuclear war? >> no, and poppy, we just watched 45 minutes of scammapalooza. this president deceived the american people on a number of different issues. as relates to the summit last week, you would have thought donald trump met with the pope in

. >> [indiscernible] would you talk about otto warmbier, sir? pres. trump: you will be seeing everything in a little while. the letter we are signing is very comprehensive. both sides are going to be very pressed with rul. a lot of goodwill went into this, a lot of work, a lotf preparation. i want to thank everybody on both sides, the secretary and all of his counterparts. they were fantastic. [speaking native language] pres. trump:hank y very much. that is ntastic. [applause] thank you very much, erybody. we will see you a little bit later. we are very proud of what took place today. i think our whole relationship with north korea and the korean peninsula is going to be a very much different situation than it has in the past. we both want to do something and we both are going to do something and we have developed a very special bond. people are going to be very care of a very big and dangerous problem for the world. i want to thank chairman kim. spent a lot of time together. very intensive time. i would actually say that it

the otto warmbier case symbolizes how bad the u.s.ationship is. >> that relationship would only get worse in the weeks after otto warmbier's death. >> the era of strategic patience with the north korean regime has failed. frankly, that patience is over. >> president trump wanted to do what his predecessors had not been able to. denuclearize north korea. >> this will be the critical test of the trump administration. this is what history will remember trump for. >> this woman was among a group of delegates that met with representatives to discuss the nuclear arms program in june of 2017. >> my takeaway from talks is that north koreans are much more confident, even arrogant, because their nuclear and missile capabilities have dramatically increased. >> with each advance in technology, kim jong-un continued to defy u.s. intelligence. >> no one is sure how north korea has managed to get, for example, the rocket technology that has allowed successful icbm tests. this program has gathered speed and success at an alarming rate. >> in january

he did such a smart thing, and i feel so badly about otto warmbier, that was the one thing. he did not die in vain. i actually believed, and i've gotten very friendly with his parents. they are incredible people, great parents, he was a great young man. but devastated as you can imagine. i think without him, this whole thing wouldn't have happened because it crystallized when he came back in that condition. it crystallized so much to so many people will come maybe even to the other side, quite frankly. i think that he truly did not die in vain. >> tucker: i've known you for a lot of years and i think one trait that i could say is a brutal honesty. in the room alone and subsequent talks between your team and their team. w honest, how brutal, what was said? >> president trump: we g very well, ot alfrom beginnind we started off. he and myself, and twointerpret. from the beginning, we got along. i made the statement, and i've said it before, you can almost tell right at the beginning. >> i felt very good at the beginning. i talked about, we have two denuclearize that. and he und

otto warmbier is a very special person. and he will be for a long time. his parents are goodfriends of mine. i think without him, this would not have happened. something happened from that day, it was a terrible thing, it was brutal. but a lot of people started to focus on what was ing on. including north korea. i really think that otto warmbier is someone who did not die in vain.i told this to his parents. a special young man and i have to say, special parents. special people. he did not die in vain. he had a lot to do with us thank you very much. >> have a second question. you talked about in your statement, can be specific about what assurances you're willing to give to -u -- >> we are not reducing anything. at some point i have to be honest, during my campaign i said you probably know better than us. i want to get our soldiers, i want to bring them back home. right now we have 32,000 soldiers and south korea. i would like to be able to bring them back home. but that is not part of the equation right now. at some point i hope it will be.but not right n

i spent about 18 months trying to bring otto warmbier home and in a safe and healthy condition. that was not possible in the end because he was imprisoned by the north koreans inappropriately, illegally in my view. then he was allowed for 16 months to be in a vegetative state without them telling us. the whole time, i was meeting with north koreans, trying to get him back. tells me two things, dana. one is the nature of the regime and there's a certain evil there when you think about what they did to otto warmbier and second of all, the needs for diplomacy. that's why i support this summit. to me, this reminds us of the need to talk directly. we did have those types of communication with regard to at toe. he would have potentially being avoided of being in the state he was if we had direct talks and diplomacy. >> dana: perhaps that is a door open now. as president trump said, the three are back now. let me ask you about something else. the press asked him and this is a question on everyone's mind. so you have the iran nuclear deal that the president is going to -- he's out of it

. >> he brought up otto warmbier who we know was tragically injured. >> i heard him ask but i didn't hear a response. >> he said something to the effect that he thinks it was a tragedy what happened to otto but his death might not have been in vain, that that tragedy might have opened the door to this engagement. otto warmbier was tragically injured in their custody and he died mere days after being released. bring that up in public during the summit is not something that's likely to fall on -- that the north koreans want to hear. they don't want to hear the president of the united states talk about a victim they unjusted held who died. bad for their reputation. another way he highlighted the human rights. >> that's different than this moment, right? even kim said there's been a lot of obstacles to get to this point. i'm just saying it was expected, especially with a party that's been so consistently against meeting with men like this because of what they represent in terms of lack of freedoms, that that wouldn't be brought up at the actual summit.you weren' by that? >> listen, i'm ta

is responsible for the death of otto warmbier. why are you so comfortable calling him very talented? >> well, he is very talented. anybody that takes over a situation like he did at 26 years of age and is able to run it and run it tough, i don't say he was nice, or i don't say anything about it. he ran it. very few people at that age, you can take one out of 10,000 probably couldn't do it. otto warmbier is a very special person, and he will be for a long time in my life. his parents are good friends of mine. i think without otto, this would not have happened. something happened from that day. it was a terrible thing. it was brutal. but a lot of people started to focus on what was going on, including north korea. i really think that otto is someone who did not die in vain. i told this to his parents. a special young man. and i have to say, special parents. special people. otto did not die in vain. he had a lot to do with us being here today. okay? thank you very much. >> the second question for you was on the security. second quest

we'll remember otto warmbier on the anniversary of his death. the speaker pro tempore: the gentlewoman from minnesota is recognized for one minute. ms. mccollum: i ask unanimous consent to address the house for one minute. revise and extend my remarks. the speaker pro tempore: without objection. ms. mccollum: mr. speaker, i oppose president trump's separating olicy of families on our southern border. tearing children there the arms of their parents, confining them in cages, with children caring for one another should never happen anywhere in the se families on our southern border. world. let alone in america. the national association of school psychologists calls this emotional violence. they go on to say, i quote, such trauma can have lifelong consequence was respect to children's mental health and behavioral health. this is a human rights violation committed by the trump administration. make no mistake, president trump has the power to end this today. when the president says he's required by law to enact this policy or when he blames democrats

we know that three hostages, four if you say otto warmbier, and obviously he passed away, we know they'vead some success scaling back the missile testing in the nuclear testing. even though one of those facilities was collapsing apparently. but there are successes before you get to the table. i think the coverage overall, a lot depends on what happened the next four hours when they first meet. >> dana: kimberly. >> kimberly: hello, bret's. thanks for doing a great job over there. looking forward to the coverage. i wanted to ask you some of the behind-the-scenes chlamydia messaging from the white house, signaling reasonable, realistic expectations. in terms of the outcome between these two world leaders. >> bret: there is a little bit of scaling back over the recent days. i hear that this is the first of several meetings likely going back to the reagan summits with gorbachev. you had geneva was first, and that led eventually to reykjavik and washington and moscow. i think this is a gena-ty meeting that sets up others. the question is how far down the road they can go. and how far the north

with the signing ceremony i asked the president did you have a chance to ask kim jong-un about otto warmbier president didn't answer that question. but i thought in light of everything that kim jong-un has been accused of, what we know he's done, the fact that he has an arsenal of nuclear weapons and this expanding nuclear program, i thought we were totally justified in asking all of those questions and i thought, wolf blitzer and my colleagues at cnn and the other networks, would have been disappointed had i not attempted to ask the questions. >> you are the representative of the television networks as a former white house correspondent lf, i spent seven years in those pools and every fifth day was cnn's turn. your job is to ask the questions. they don't have to answer them if they don't want but if you don't ask, you will have five networks pretty upset at you. that is your responsibility. it is a free press. and i'm glad that kim began to see a little bit of that because he doesn't see that back in north korea. >> no, that is right. and he seemed to open up toward the end of this. you saw

reporter: [inaudible] -- spoken so passionately about the circumstances that led to otto warmbier's death. in the same breath you're defending kim jong un's human rights record. how can you do that? president trump: you want to know why? because i don't want to see a nuclear weapon destroy you and your family. excuse me, because i don't want to see a nuclear weapon destroy you and your family. i want to have a good relationship with north korea. i want to have a good relationship with many other countries. and what i've done, if you remember, if you're fair, which most of you aren't, but if you're fair, when i came in, people thought we were probably going to war with north korea. if we did -- quiet, quiet, quiet. if we did, millions of people would have been killed. i don't mean like -- people saying 100,000. seoul has 28 million people 30 miles off the border. you would have had 30 million, 40 million, 50 million people killed. who knows what would have happened. i came in, that was what i inherited. that should have been involved -- that should have been solved long before i got there.

he ran it tough on otto warmbier. the president of the united states is actually praising the toughness of a hereditary dictator, a man who inherited his dictatorship and runs it tough through murder and torture and starvation and imprisonment of anyon a everyone he feels threatened by. and so nothing wasplished at the singa summit unless you believe that north korea's willingness to continu to the secretary of state is an accomplishment. but north korea has always been willing tok to the secretary of state. and so mike po will be the latest secretary of state to try to get north korea to give up nuclear weapons. joining us now is john heilemann, national affairs analyst for nbc news and msnbc. he is the co-executive producer of circus. and who has reported from north korea multiple times. and james fellow, former speech writer for president jimmy carter and co-author of the new book "our towns: 100,000 mile journey into the heart of america." john heilemann, he loves his people. the president actually went to that po
