NEIL: ALL RIGHT, YOU KNOW, THIS
IS REALLY AN AMAZING POW WOW
BETWEEN THE NORTH AND SOUTH
KOREA LEADERS GETTING ALONG JUST
GREAT SETTING THE STAGE FOR WHAT
COULD BE VERY PRODUCTIVE WHEN
THE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED
STATES IS MEETING WITH THE
LEADER OF NORTH KOREA A LITTLE
TOO EARLY TO TELL, BUT TO
RETIRED NAVY CAPTAIN CHUCK NASH,
WHO ALWAYS HELPS ME STEP BACK
FROM A LOT OF THE POMP AND
CEREMONY AND THEN LOOK AT THE
REAL DEAL HERE, AND I THINK WHEN
WE LAST CHATTED, CAPTAIN, YOU
WERE REMINDING ME THAT LET'S NOT
GET AHEAD OF OURSELVES HERE.
THEY WANT THINGS, WE WANT THINGS
, HE'S A LEADER WHOSE GOT
THAT MEETING THAT DOESN'T WANT
TO BOTCH THAT BUT WE'VE LEARNED
FROM HIM IN THE PAST HE CAN DO
AN ABOUT-FACE VERY VERY QUICKLY
AND WE'VE LEARNED FROM HIS
FATHER THE SAME HIS GRANDFATHER
THE SAME SO HOW DO WE MARK HIS
SINCERITY?
>> IT HAS TO BE VERIFY, THEN
TRUST, REVERSE RONALD REGAN'S
FAMOUS SAYING.
I THINK, NEIL, WHAT WE'RE
LOOKING AT HERE IS A THREE-STEP
PROCESS AND ALSO THE LAST TIME
WE SPOKE I THINK WE TALKED ABOUT
THIS.
STEP ONE IS END THE KOREAN WAR
THAT APPEARS TO BE UNDERWAY,
MANY OBSERVERS NEVER THOUGHT
THAT WOULD HAPPEN IN THEIR
LIFETIME THAT'S HAPPENING.
SECOND STEP IS TO COME UP WITH A
MUTUALLY AGREED UPON NON-
AGGRESSION-PACKED BETWEEN
THE TWO COUNTRIES BACKED UP BY
THE INTERNATIONAL COMMUNITY WITH
VERY VIGOROUS AND INTRUSIVE
INSPECTION REGIMES, AND THEN THE
THIRD THING IS THE EVENTUALLY
POLL REUNIFICATION OF THE KOREAN
PENINSULA.
ALL THOSE STEPS REQUIRE A LOT OF
DUE DILIGENCE ON THE PART OF NOT
JUST THE UNITED STATES AND SOUTH
KOREA BUT THE INTERNATIONAL
COMMUNITY, BECAUSE OF THE AMOUNT
OF NUCLEAR TECHNOLOGY THAT HAS
MOVED OUT OF NORTH KOREA AND
INTO PLACES LIKE IRAN.
NEIL: UM, IT'S CLEAR THE NORTH
KOREANS NEED MONEY, AND I'VE
ALWAYS WONDERED WHAT'S WACKY
ABOUT THAT, IS THAT THEIR
BIGGEST BENEFACTOR CHINA DOES
HAVE A LOT OF MONEY BUT HAS
OBVIOUSLY NOT SHARED THE LOOT
BACKED THEM UP WHEN IT CAME TO
THE SANCTIONS BUT THEY NEED THE
UNITED STATES FOR THE MONEY.
HOW SHOULD WE PLAY THAT?
