THANK YOU.
ALL RIGHT.
THE PRESIDENT SAID WERE DONE
AND THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
I DON'T KNOW WHAT KOREAN WOULD
BE FOR DON'T LET THE SCREEN
DOOR HIT YOU ON THE WAY OUT
REPORTERS, BUT THEY HAD TO
LEAVE.
THE PRESIDENT SAYING THAT HIS
ONE-ON-ONE MEETING WITH KIM
JONG-UN WAS VERY GOOD.
HE SAID THE TWO HAD DEVELOPED
AN EXCELLENT RELATIONSHIP BUT
THEY ARE HITTING THINGS OFF
VERY POSITIVELY.
I'M NOT A BODY LANGUAGE
EXPERT, BUT I KNOW AMONG MANY
THINGS THERE'S A VERY GOOD
READ OF PEOPLE AND ROB, ONE OF
THE THINGS THAT THE PRESIDENT
HAS SAID ANY SET IT OVER THE
WEEKEND IS I CAN MEASURE
SOMEONE AND HAVE A PRETTY GOOD
IDEA WITHIN THE FIRST MINUTE.
YOU BUY THAT?
>> YES, I CAN BUY THAT.
I'VE MET WITH HIM BEFORE AND
THE PRESIDENT TALKS QUITE A
TALKING, BUT WHAT HE SAID AT
THE END THAT YOU COULD BARELY
HEAR IS HOW HE SAID I WORK
FORWARD TO WORKING WITH YOU ON
THIS AND WERE GOING TO GET IT
DONE.
JUST THAT CONFIDENCE.
>> WHEN HE SAYS WERE GOING TO
GET IT DONE, HE WAS REFERRING
TO SOMETHING AT THIS MEETING
OR SOMETHING EVENTUALLY.
>> YOU CAN HEAR THE WHOLE
THING.
THINK THE DENUCLEARIZATION AND
THE PATH OF NOT INVADING,
NORTH KOREA GETTING EVERYTHING
IN WRITING THAT WERE NOT GOING
TO DO IT, BUT JUST THE WAY
THEY WERE TALKING, YOU HAVE TO
FIGURE YOU GO FROM CALLING
SOMEONE A MENTALLY DERANGED
PERSON AND HE'S MAKING FUN OF
HIM.
>> IF THEY'RE GOING TO GET IT
DONE, WHO SHOULD BE SAYING
THAT.
I'M OVER ANALYZING IT.
IS IT UP TO THE NORTH KOREAN
LEADER TO SAY WERE CAN GET
SOMETHING DONE BECAUSE I THINK
I NEED TO DO THIS TO MAKE
THINGS RIGHT?
>> WHEN WE SAW JOHN KELLY IN
THEIR AND THE MARINE CORPS
GENERAL AND SECRETARY OF
STATE, DIPLOMAT, IT'S GOOD
THAT THEY'RE IN THERE BECAUSE
YOU HAVE THE DIPLOMATIC SIDE
IN THE MILITARY SIDE.
IT'S NOT GOING TO BE A UNITED
STATES NORTH KOREA THING.
WERE GOING TO NEED TO GET
JAPAN INVOLVED.
CHINA WILL WANT TO BE INVOLVED
BECAUSE THEY MAY SEE IT AS
WERE SURROUNDING THEM.
IF WE HAVE ACCESS TO NORTH
KOREA WE HAVE ACCESS TO AREAS
WE'VE NEVER HAD ACCESS TO
BEFORE.
IT STARTS WITH
DENUCLEARIZATION AND NO GROUND
WAR OR BALLISTIC MISSILE
STRIKES.
>> HE'S 34 YEARS OLD, HE WILL
BE 72 THIS WEEK.
WHAT IS YOUR SENSE OF HOW THAT
COMES INTO PLAY?
THE AGE DIFFERENCE.
>> HE WAS OLD ENOUGH TO BE
JOHN KENNEDY'S FATHER.
I THINK IT PLAYS INTO
PRESIDENT TRUMP'S HAND.
YOU COULD SEE THE LOOK, I
DON'T THINK SINGAPORE WAS
PICKED BY ACCIDENT.
THEY ALSO HAVE STRICT LAW ON
PROTEST.
>> HE DOESN'T GET OUT MUCH.
>> NO.
THEY DON'T HAVE ELECTRICITY.
THEY HAVE THAT HUGE FAMOUS
BUILDING THEY BEEN TRYING TO
BUILD FOR 35 YEARS, THEY STILL
DON'T HAVE AN ELEVATOR THAT
MAYBE WE CAN HAVE THIS, OF
COURSE THEN YOU GET INTO THE
THING, WELL, IF WE REUNITE
THERE'S NO WAY THE REGIME WILL
STAY IN POWER.
ONCE THE KOREAN PEOPLE REALIZE
THEY BEEN BRAINWASHED, I DON'T
THINK THEY WILL DEMOCRATICALLY
ELECT KIM JONG-UN AGAIN.
NEIL: YOU AND I TALK ABOUT
THIS AS WELL.
THIS IDEA THAT A LOT OF PEOPLE
ARE SAYING YOU'RE TALKING TO A
BUTCHER AND A MURDERER AND
ALL, BUT HE'S THE ONLY LEADER
WE CAN TALK TO FOR THE TIME
BEING.
YOU POINTED THAT OUT AS WELL.
YOU HAVE TO DEAL WITH WHAT
YOU'RE DEALT.
WHAT IS YOUR SENSE AS THE
YOUNG GUY, THE KOREAN LEADER,
THAT HE SAW THE LIGHTS OF
KOREA, IN THIS CASE,
SINGAPORE, IT'S GOTTA BE
PRETTY EXCITING FOR A YOUNG
GUY.
WHAT HE'S BEEN USED TO IS A
COUNTRY THAT BY NIGHT IS
ALMOST PITCH BLACK.
>> EVEN DICTATORS AREN'T
LIVING THE GOOD LIFE IN THEIR
CONDITION.
NEIL: RIGHT.
SO HOW MUCH OF THAT, YOU
MENTION THE SINGAPORE LOCATION
IS A METROPOLIS, HOW MUCH OF
THAT IS PLAYING INTO THIS?
>> I THINK A LOT MORE SECRET
MEETINGS AND A LOT MORE
PLANNING AND LOGISTICS THAT
WENT INTO IT AND WERE TELLING
ANYONE.
IT'S NOT AT THE DMV BECAUSE --
YOU SAW HOW HAPPY HE WAS WHEN
HE SKIPPED ACROSS THE BORDER.
NOW HE'S IN SINGAPORE, ONE OF
THE NICEST CITIES IN THE
WORLD.
THIS IS ALL BY PLAN.
I THINK THEY STARTED
NEGOTIATING EVEN BEFORE
PRESIDENT TRUMP CALLED THE
MEETING OFF.
LET ME ASK YOU ABOUT THIS
NOTION THAT THEY HAVE TO LEAVE
TONIGHT, THEY'RE SAYING
THEY'RE GOING TO LEAVE WITH
SOMETHING AGREED TOO.
ONE TALK WAS THAT THERE'S
HOSTILITY THAT DATES BACK TO
THE KOREAN WAR, I'M TOLD WERE
CONCERNED ABOUT REMOVING THOSE
HOSTILITIES RIGHT AWAY BECAUSE
THEY TAKE AWAY THE RATIONALE
FOR ALL THE TROOPS WE HAVE
THERE.
IS THAT TRUE.
>> IT IS TRUE BUT IT'S NOT
LIKE WE CAN START PULLING ALL
THE TROOPS OUT.
THE SANCTIONS WILL STAY IN
PLACE UNTIL COMPLETE
DENUCLEARIZATION.
SOMEONE NEEDS TO GET IN THE.
THEY HAVE WEAPONS OBVIOUSLY.
HOW DO YOU GET RID OF THEM?
THERE'S A LOT TO IT.
I WOULDN'T BE SURPRISED -- I
WOULD BE SURPRISED IF THEY
SIGNED A PEACE TREATY TODAY.
THERE'S BEEN SOMETHING IN
PLAISANCE 1953 AND IT'S JUST
THE CEASE-FIRE.
WAR BETWEEN THE NORTH AND THE
SOUTH WITH AMERICA LEADING.
BECAUSE OF LEADING U.S. AND
JAPANESE INVESTORS INTO SOUTH
KOREA, HE SEEING WHAT THEY
HAVE THERE AND HE HAS TO BE
EXCITED.
I DON'T THINK KIM JONG-UN WILL
DO ALL THIS SIMPLY FOR A PHOTO
OP AND PROPAGANDA.
YES IT WILL BE THERE BUT HE'S
IN A POSITION WHERE HE COULD
BE A LEGITIMATE WORLD LEADER
WHICH IS SCARY TO THINK.
HE TIED HIS UNCLE UP TO A POLE
AND SHOT HIM WITH THE AIRCRAFT
WEAPON.
>> LET ME GET YOUR SENSE, IS
IT YOUR SENSE THAT KNOWING HOW
BAD GUYS WORK THAT
SELF-PRESERVATION TAKES OVER
FOR EVERYTHING?
AND THAT HE SAW WHAT HAPPENED
WITH HIS FATHER, NOTHING BAD,
BUT THE KINGDOM REMAINED, HIS
HERMIT KINGDOM REMAINED AND IT
WAS THAT WAY WITH HIS
GRANDFATHER AND HE DOESN'T
WANT THAT OR MAYBE HE SEES A
SHORT SHELF LIFE BUT THE MEANS
AT WHICH YOU ERADICATE THAT IS
THE NUCLEAR THREAT, YOU GIVE
UP THOSE NUCLEAR WEAPONS OR UD
NEED TO RISE COMPLETELY,
YOU'VE LOST YOUR BARGAINING.
>> YES, YOU DO LOSE THE
NUCLEAR WEAPON.
I DON'T THINK THEY EVER WANT
FOR OFFENSE EVEN THOUGH THEY
THREATEN IT.
THEY WANTED IT FOR DEFENSE SO
THEY COULD AVOID BEING
OVERRUN.
TO GIVE IT UP YOU HAVE TO HAVE
SOME STRONG PAPERWORK AND
STRONG AGREEMENTS JUST TO MAKE
SURE NO ONE DOES ANYTHING.
PEOPLE DON'T KNOW A LOT ABOUT
HIM BUT HE WAS CONVINCED WE
WERE GOING TO INVADE HIM.
HE WAS RAISED UNDER
PROPAGANDA.
HE BROUGHT HIS OWN TOILET TO
