president trump was supposed to welcome the super bowl lii champion philadelphia eagles to the south lawn of the white house. it's tradition. it happens every year but it appears it is not happening this week. the president released a statement moments ago saying this in part -- >> martha: no big moment for the's itals and i won't -- eagles and i won't cry too much over that, as you know. but there is that. if we get more we'll let you

up along with an interpreter on the south lawn of the white house. he will be greeted by chief of staff john kelly. by national security adviser john bolton. you'll see that as it's happening. our tv cameras via the pool set up live. walk across the colonnade and into the over's office, where he will meet president trump we are told. where this letter handoff will happen. remember what is why kim yong-chol, former top spy in north korea, you said, kim jong-un's right-hand man, it's a personal letter from kim jong-un to president trump. he didn't come all the way here to send a letter, go pound sand. it's probably a sign kim jong-un is trying to make the singapore summit happen june 12th. we know overnight according to north korean media committed to the restoration of the peninsula. a story we've heard before. we'll see if the u.s. takes it serious enough to take donald trump overseas.

he saw them on the south lawn of the white house where he was trying to get the country to think about football and the national anthem. even though he, himself, does not know the words for the national anthem, that is how the president spent his day. the president, who has ordered american government workers to

but these dramatic pictures about to unfold on the south lawn of the white house right now. that's what you're looking at. you're looking at the entrance to the white house from cameras positioned on the south lawn, and you can see a couple people starting to make their way outside. now, we expect kim yong chol who is lead negotiator for kim jong-un to meet with chief of staff security advise brer all these men head over to the oval office for the president and. we saw that arrival in the last half hour or so. mike pompeo, secretary of state, and kim yong chol both met in new york yesterday. all the wheels appear to be in motion, continuing in motion, wolf, for this very dramatic, very historic encurre. when we're talking to officials over here, they're still treating this with an abundance of caution, as they probably should, that nothing is a done deal yet. but something points to all possibility that something unusual will happen, wolf. >> we're drawn to this picture on the south lawn entrance to the white house. we expect the north korean visitor, kim yong chol, entering

whether we will get much if any indication at all other than the reporters being shoed off of the south lawnhat might be the only indication we get that this is over with. >> kim yong chol faced u.s. sanctions because of his role in the military actions against south korea. he was granted a waiver prior to this visit to new york and now to washington, d.c tony, this is historic stuff here >> yeah. exactly right. you hit the nail on the head i mean, these are -- we have very real issues with not just the regime as a whole, but very specifically, individuals that have been sanctioned that's what makes this whole process so complex in order to get to solutions but you know, look, these are always difficult negotiations. if it were easy it would be done already. to john's point, i was in the white house ten years ago when the north koreans blew up theion hap nuclear reactor as a show of their commitment to denuclearizationing. here we are ten years later not just in the same plant but in a more advanced spot for north korea. >> they blew up another plan this time, too. >> exactly, that was a tes

this is the colonnade on the south lawn. jim, bring you in to the conversation here. kim yong-chol, right-hand man to the korean leader there. what more do we know about him? i mean, best we can gather, this is someone with, shall we say, a checkered past? >> y >> yes. a longtime survivor in a regime where people can get shot. worked for every korean leader. now the young chairman kim. had military roles, political roles. currently i think vice chairman of the korean workers party. a party run state. so that sort of is a big position. he is supposedly involved in 2010, in the sinking of that south korean ship that killed dozens of korean servicepeople and in the island shelling that year, but i think the most important thing about him is obviously he has the confidence of chairman kim. that's more important than anything else. you see him all the time with him in photos and in videos. and let me conclude by saying i agree absolutely with what andrea has said. this meeting would not be happening, this delivery of a letter, a north korea won not be coming to washington

you're tall because we saw half your face as you were talking with the president there out on the south lawn. i'm so glad you're with us because i want to did he briebr little bit. was that was not a formal news conference. you're screaming over the noise there, that said, it was a lengthy q&a session for this president, a lot of hid lines on everything from, as you heard, rudy giuliani to the department of justice, to leaks, to porn stars, to dennis rodman and mohame mohamed ali. walk through what you got out of that moment. >> reporter: in terms of my positioning, i was standing on top of two ladders adjacent to me. >> this is pro tip, okay. >> that's how it works. let's focus on the significance of what he said today. the most important thing that the president said today as he heads up to the g-7 where there are already these tensions over topics like trade and iran is the president didn't suggest but called on the g-7 to reinstate russia to make it effectively the g-8 again. russia was expelled four years ago. that was significant. the president in his words said something to the effect

how do we get to the super bowl party that was anticipated on the south lawn of the white house to a concert over at the white house? >> reporter: wolf, this is part of the president's culture war designed to energize his base. the latest episode of that is the attack on the philadelphia eagles. accusing them of not standing for the anthem. we should point out from the factual bases that there were no eagles players who failed to stand for the anthem during the regular and post-season for the nfl. this attack on the eagles appears to be politically motivated. completely motivated politically and the last several minutes, the white house put out a st ons side. saying essentially there are too many eagles players not planning to show up. rather than have an event here where the president would have a small crowd size, you might say, they decided to disinvite the eagles. here is the statement from the e white house. the white house despite a lack of good faith, attempted to work with the eagles over the weekend to change the event format that could accommodate a smaller group of players

so we know with our john roberts inside the oval office, they were just called to the south lawn. and there was a microphone pop up at the bottom of our screen. we are watching that door. we are anticipating the arrival to be much by national security advisor john bolton. a chief of staff john kelly as well. so what you mentions the black suv, you can see it falling into place now. security and others off to the rights of the screen. so this could potentially be imminent. the arrival of kim young chol. kevin. >> and i believe that that is what you are noticing there. you will see the enhanced security sort of throughout the hour. we had an idea based on the previously scheduled meeting between the president and of mike pompeo. that was set for 1:00 p.m. that would certainly make sense to kind of dovetail from this meeting, and then will come in the north koreans, as we continue to watch. i noticed that they are beginning to push people back. that usually is a clear indication that something, perhaps the vip, in this case, is on their way. >> harris: he is inside. he said that we n

katy said, presn the south lawn where a quickly thrown event called celebration of america just taking place. this is replacing who was supposed to be an event honoring the super bowl champions, the philadelphia eagles, but was canceled when the president found out who few players would be in attendance. the president saying the eagles, quote, disagree with their president because he insists that they proudly stand for the national anthem. that is an incorrect and shallow interpretation of what taking a knee at an nfl game means. but we're going to talk about how one should interpret that. the culture war red meat that trump produced is yet a distraction from more controversial headlines surrounding this president and those close to him. former trump campaign chairman paul manafort was just accused by the special counsel's office of trying to tamper with witnesses in his federal tax and money laundering case. this is an investigation that the president has continued to attack and did so again today. it's one of 13 different tweets this morning. trump said, quote, the russian witch hunt

that is marine one it sounds like landing on the south lawn where we just saw kim yong chol depart. that is because the president is heading to camp david in a matter of minutes, meaning he will walk back out in front of a bigger group of reporters. maybe he will talk again, chris. >> wouldn't be the first time. >> exactly. let's -- we ticked clue the key highlights when the president spoke earlier. there was talk that the president was maybe setting exceptionations too high. there was a sense as you call it, he referred to getting the nobel peace prize at one point that this was never going to be a one and done deal. i think what the president said today brings him more in line with what people have been saying this is going to be a multiple step process, he reiterated it is going to take multiple meetings. it's not going to happen all in one meeting. that is important for the president. here's what is important. kim jong-un is getting what he wants. he wants to be able to come to the table and talk to the president of united states. that is going to happen. unless there is a piece

he treated that before president trump's remarks on the south lawn. where, out of the blue, he went there, defending, defending russia. it's amazing. i just also have to point out, he said, listen, if i don't get a better agreement on nafta, i'll tear it up and get something better. he told us he would do that when it came to the paris climate accord. you know what he's done since then on both, nothing. nbc's peter alexander is at the white house. and peter, you were right there, front and center. my biggest takeaway was the president and russia, russia, russia. how about you? >> i think you're right. i mean this was remarkable, frankly. i guess at this point we should no longer say anything is remarkable with this president. you know as well as i do that for this president, words often don't mean much. he just throws out these sort of verbal grenades and causes controversy. but i think it was significant what he said about russia today. as he heads up to that g-7 summit where there are significant tensions between the u.s. and its allies and in europ

if you want russia back in, you don't announce it on the south lawn.ow up on time. you don't walk in in the middle disrupting everything. they think frankly if you read my e-mails yesterday, they think is a jerk. >> some of this is u.s. domestic messaging. the president knows that the narrative of the story was never going to be u.s. embraced by european partners at g7 meeting. it was either going to be the rest of the g7 turns its backs on president trump or president trump is the one in the driver's seat laying down the law and everyone reacts. and he would much rather have a narrative where he is in control especially heading into the summit. so i think part of it is that messaging. but the other part is the fundamental question of the idea of does the u.s. have to pay more, does the u.s. have to do more. and one of the kind of tenants, sorry to be so conventional of leadership, is that if you are in charge sometimes you have to do more. and that is what this has always been predicated on. i think what a lot of allies are asking is does the u.s. sti

what does it look like at 3:00 this afternoon in the south lawn. >> it looks like it was cancelled because of poor ticket sales as it were. it is obvious that the reason that the president is not doing this, not enough members of the eagles were going to show up and he did want to go forward with a group of team mants and larger group refusing to come to the white house. if more eagles were coming. >> bill: the last number 8 or 9 and the torn of the team is critical and the mayor in philadelphia is critical. and the players tweeting on their own social media accounts against his administration. and in a way it was predictable. to cancel and entertainers. and it was was simply because so resistance to it. and you are right. the mayor of phil phil. and slammed them wall to wall this morning. and that is latest event like that. and throughout the battle he wa waged did you have a prediction for next tuesday. all of this is forgotten because singapore is next week. >> it is, the first event now happens at night on the 11th washington time. and so monday night, this will probably go forward and

this president just yesterday morning as he was leaving for the g-7 on the south lawn said i understand why some of these players are kneeling be they are concerned about criminal justice and social justice. and by the way, if they have any idea of people who have been treated unfairly by the justice system they should give me idea and i'll review those files and look at those cases. the -- some of thelayers that requested the policy time were not part of the smaller group who said they were coming. there were eagles players willing to come here and talk about their great work with refoact autism. the eagles raised $2.5 million for autism. some of these players and management at the eagles have personal dakotas autism. i think that -- personal connections to autism. they are willing to come forward and talk to the philadelphia eagles. so it's -- we dock that any time. some -- we can do that at any time. but some people want to have the conversations away from the white house and keep the issues alive. jess will be that's surprising that they wted policy time and backed out of it. >> tha

the past several days, this is been carved on the south lawn of the white house and was yesterday moved here and they have continued their work, and you see it in practice today. the idea of chuck joining us for this symposium evolved from a meeting i had in edinburgh last summer with the cabinet secretary for cultures are -- culture, tourism and government affairs for scotland. while she could not be with us today, we are honored she sent us a video message that affirms the story of the scottish stonemasons and the importance of the story in the u.s. and scotland. >> greetings from scotland. i am happy indeed to be able to contribute to the white house historical associations symposium for 2018, which will celebrate the historic relationship between the united kingdom, ireland and the united states of america. the bonds of friendship which stretch across the atlantic are found throughout the pages of history, and will be further explored in the presentations for this year's symposium. when i met your president last year, i was interested to learn about the role scottish stonemasons had

secret service so at any time we could see the moment where they drive up in front of the south lawn of the white house which is traditionally maryam where the president would greet members of state from other him other nations and that's where we expect that we will see some sort of a photo opportunity why is this significant well according to the talks that took place in new york city with the u.s. secretary of state and the vice chair of north korea there was substantial progress made the feeling of the united states is that right now there is a desire by north korea for what the u.s. is calling a strategic shift that means a willingness to denuclearize in exchange for help with by the united states to boost the economy and the crippling sanctions that currently are placed as part of the u.s. as maximum pressure campaign but there is a still a significant gap in terms of what it means to denuclearize the pace of denuclearization and trust issues so that is why this white house meeting is important there north koreans are very concerned about the united states not keeping its word

that's right what we seem to be able to glean from the president's statement speaking there on the south lawn of the white house is that this is the start of what he expects to be a series of meetings to get some sort of agreement agreement on what nuclearize ation that is the end state that the united states is looking for but a lot of news coming out of that oval office meeting that historic meeting the first time in eighteen years that north korea and given the top financial sanctions in place by the united states even individual sanctions including the vice chair of north korea kim yong chill that that even occurred because the president speaking following that meeting at the departure alongside his u.s. secretary of state pompei oh who up to this point had been the only member of the administration to personally travel twice to north korea meeting with the north korean leader they say in fact that this is the start of a relationship in the president's words as you heard there just a moment ago starting on june twelfth but that he will not sign something it's a process that will begin als
