dennis rodman had come in try to make the korean peninsula a safer place. but alas we may be back to where we were in the obama years with a kind of nuclearerizatiization happening in korea. >> foreign minister president trump said the it summit with kim jong-un could become meaningless. what is he hoping to accomplish by saying something that inflammatory? >> north korea always does this and what they're trying to do is raise the stakes. the problem here is that trump administration policy is based on tapremise. that premise is that kim jong-un made a stdecision to give up hi nukes. if that's the case, then certainly american policy makes sense. we've given the north koreans a lot of insenti sensentives to s. this is a one-shot opportunity to give up their weapons and become part of the world. they don't want to do it it. >> and i want to read part of president trump's june 13th tweet. quote everybody can now feel much safer than the it day i took office. there's no longer arnuclearer threat. this is a pretty bold claim by the president. how does this impa

things that are going on-- there just was a thing today, just recently, about him possibly bringing rodmant's tough competition. ( laughter ) >> stephen: you met-- sir, you went over to help free some hostages on behalf of the obama administration. you went over there to free some hostages. you met kim jon-il, kim jong- un's father. what can mr. trump expect when he sits down with the leader of north korea? briefly. >> briefly, he can expect to a guy who's reluctant to give up his nuclear weapons, because he thinks when dictators give them up they're more likely to be overthrown. and, he wants to stay in power. but, he can also expect a person who has told his own people he will make a better life for them. so the key to this whole thing is the president of south korea, who's been brilliant in bringing north korea into the olympics. brilliant in understanding how pshof pres trump and president kim jong-un. and so if-- we should all want president trump to succeed here. >> stephen: i agree. >> every one of us should.

i think the chain of command now goes: trump; ivanka; dennis rodman; ivanka, again; jared's wife, ivankads." ( laughter ) so if he didn't consult with south korea and he didn't consult with the pentagon, where did donald trump get the idea to stop these military exercises? well, according to "the wall street journal," it's an idea he got after speaking to russian president vladimir putin. "look, there's still no collusion. technically, collusion happens in secret. this is totally out there. ( laughter ) but, i'm just following orders." but trump says the meeting was a complete success and that north korea pinky-swore they'd give up their nukes, even if he didn't get it in writing. >> it wasn't too long ago though that you said you define success of this meeting by north korea giving up its nuclear weapons. >> well, that's what they're doing. >> can you say why you did not secure those details in this agreement? >> because there's no time. i'm here one day. >> stephen: yeah! there's no time! he's only there one day. do you know how much it costs to switch your reservation on air force one

collin kaepernick, get them together and actually have a meeting and invite kanye and invite dennis rodmansion about it. i guarantee you he will make more progress because he has this peculiar optimism about everything he dose. he thinks when he became president everything that failed before i'm going to do it. why doesn't he direct that unusual unbridled optimism on this turgid problem that seems to drag everybody down. >> juan: maybe it's because he called them sobs? >> i agree. carrot. >> juan: there is a real issue here. that player association was not consulted by the league before they implemented the policy and the policy was to have the team regulate any response, any punishment for kneeling. these are the same owners who won't hire collin kaepernick and don't forget that donald trump was the one who started this. he is the one who fired up everybody. kaepernick had been kneeling the year before. trump saw this as politically potent issue to attack the players to go after them and never address the issue of police brutality. >> katie: all trump's fault. >> mollie: the nfl is like a

[ laughter ] "okay, you want to jerk off in a maserati and drive off a cliff? okay." [ laughter ] it feels like -- i think about like the obama presidency and it feels like a dream. like, it feels like a long time ago. like it's like, when i think about the obama presidency, it feels like, it's like a rainy sunday afternoon. you're at home, you don't have anything to do. you're like, "i'm going to turn on netflix." and you're like, "i've never seen 'the great british bake-off'."

there is a phrase i can't get out of my head and i wish i could people might remember that dennis rodman read to him he used to be made american route met the north korean leader appealed to kim jong il about some other issues some years ago i guess about releasing some of their prisoners do me a solid surround sound rather vulgar to english parents or i would pump you really needed something substantial the north koreans kill you not only not giving him that but saying hang on you're not giving us anything that we need either it's really rather puzzling you think they would they would each try little bit harder with the other so what do you expect to happen next we have these ongoing talks does anyone else need to get involved as the south get involved does china get involved. no they i mean what is important of course is that separately but related laid the there isn't a korean peace process that is not theirs after meeting almost daily about this all that bit reconnecting roads possible and so while china is fairly pleased about things on the whole i think we are awaiting for the next
