>>> DO YOU BELIEVE THAT THEM CONTINUING TO BUILD ICBMs WOULD
VIOLATE THE JOINT DECLARATION
FROM SINGAPORE?
FROM SINGAPORE? >> WHAT WE’RE GOING ON IS THE
COMMITMENT THAT CHAIRMAN KIM
MADE TO OUR PRESIDENT.
AND THAT IS THE COMMITMENT TO
DENUCLEARIZE.
DENUCLEARIZE. THAT’S SOMETHING THAT WE
CERTAINLY ANTICIPATE THAT HE
WILL HOLD UP HIS END OF THE
BARGAIN.
BARGAIN. IN TERMS OF OF THAT SPECIFIC
REPORT, WE’RE ALL VERY WELL
AWARE OF IT.
IT WOULD FALL INTO AN
INTELLIGENCE MATTER.
INTELLIGENCE MATTER. >> REALLY?
>> REALLY? YOU THINK HE WILL HOLD UP HIS
END OF THE BARGAIN?
PUNTING ON A QUESTION ABOUT A
"WASHINGTON POST" REPORT WHICH
NBC NEWS HAS NOW CONFIRMED THAT
SATELLITE PHOTOS SHOW THAT NORTH
KOREA IS CONTINUING TO PRODUCE
BALLISTIC MISSILES AND WORK THE
MISSILE PROGRAM EVEN AFTER THE
JUNE SUMMIT IN SINGAPORE BETWEEN
DONALD TRUMP AND NORTH KOREA’S
KIM JONG-UN.
KIM JONG-UN. THE "WASHINGTON POST" SAID THEY
ARE WORKING A MISSILE CAPABLE OF
REACHING THE UNITED STATES.
THAT AFTER DONALD TRUMP QUOTED
HASAN ROUHANI WHO DONALD TRUMP
SAID HE WOULD MEET WITH NO PRE
CONDITIONS.
CONDITIONS. A BAFFLING OFFER FROM AN
AMERICAN PRESIDENT WHO LAST WEEK
WAS HURLING TWITTER GRENELL AIDS
AT HIS IRANIAN COUNTER PART AND
AN OFFER THAT IRAN WASTED NO
TIME TURNING DOWN.
THANKS BUT NO THANKS.
JOINING ME NOW, STEVE SCHMIDT
AND AN OLD FRIEND OF MINE FROM
OUR DAYS AT THE WHITE HOUSE AND
THE CAMPAIGN TRAIL.
YOU AND I WORKED FOR SOMEONE WHO
COULD SEE RUSSIA FROM HER HOUSE
SO WE’RE IN A POSITION TO SEE
WHETHER DONALD TRUMP IS
OPERATING FROM IGNORANCE IS
BLISS OR WHETHER HE SERIOUSLY
HAS A THING FOR THESE DICTATORS.
WHAT’S YOUR TAKE?
>> WELL, NICOLE, LET ME SAY
FORMER REPUBLICAN TO BEGIN.
>> NONPRACTICING IS WHAT I LIKE
THE SAY.
THE SAY. >> AT THE END OF THE DAY, DONALD
TRUMP MADE THE WORLD PRO FOUNDLY
MORE DANGEROUS WITH HIS REALITY
SHOW DIPLOMACY IN SINGAPORE.
OF COURSE KIM JONG-UN IS NOT
HONORING THE AGREEMENT AND
THEY’RE WORKING ON AN
INTERCONTINENTAL BALLISTIC
INTERCONTINENTAL BALLISTIC MISSILE WHICH ONE DAY A
MINIATURIZED WARHEAD WILL SIT ON
TOP OF THAT COULD REACH THE
CONTINENTAL UNITED STATES.
SO SHE’S UP THERE SPINNING THE
AMERICAN PEOPLE.
AMERICAN PEOPLE. THE INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES ARE
UNDER CONSTANT ATTACK.
SO ROUGHLY 40% OF THE COUNTRY,
IT DOESN’T MATTER WHAT THE
INTELLIGENCE AGENCY SAYS.
WHAT MATTERS IS WHAT TRUMP SAYS.
THANKFULLY IT IS A MINORITY OF
THE COUNTRY.
THE COUNTRY. IT DOESN’T CHANGE THAT THE
COUNTRY IS MORE IN DANGER
BECAUSE WE HAD AN UNPREPARED
IGNORANT PRESIDENT GO OVER THERE
WITH THE SAME LEVEL OF RIGOR
THAT HE WOULD PLAN AN APPRENTICE
EPISODE WITH MEATLOAF AND LITTLE
JOHN.
JOHN. >> YOU PULL THE RIGHT THREAD
THROUGH ALL THREE.
THE INTELLIGENCE ON NORTH KOREA
DIDN’T EVER POINT TO WHAT DONALD
TRUMP DECLARED AT THE END OF THE
SUMMIT.
SUMMIT. THAT THEY’RE NOW NO LONGER A
THREAT.
THREAT. THE INTELLIGENCE COMMUNITY
DIDN’T POINT TO ANYTHING THAT
DONALD TRUMP SAID.
THIS IS JUST WHAT WE KNOW OF AT
THE PRESS CONFERENCE IN
HELSINKI.
HELSINKI. THE INTELLIGENCE ON IRAN
SUGGESTED THE DEAL THAT THE
PRESIDENT PULLED US OUT OF WAS
BETTER THAN ANYTHING HE IS
LIKELY TO POINT TO ON HIS OWN.
SOHO DOES THE INTELLIGENCE
COMMITTEE GO TO WILLFULLY
IGNORING ALL THREE OF THESE
DANGEROUS REGIMES.
DANGEROUS REGIMES. >> WELL, THEY CAN TRY ON SERVE
HIM AND SERVE HIM THEY DO.
AT THE END OF THE DAY, HE IS THE
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
AND HE BELIEVES WHAT HE
BELIEVES.
BELIEVES. THERE IS MORE THAN ENOUGH NEWS
REPORTS TO SUGGEST THAT HE
DOESN’T HEAR ANYTHING HE DOESN’T
WANT TO HEAR.
OF COURSE THE IRANIAN DEAL, HE
ACHIEVED THE REMARKABLE FEAT OF
PUTTING THE UNITED STATES
OPPOSITE THE EUROPEAN UNION,
RUSSIA AND IRAN, WITH IRAN
HAVING THE HIGH MORAL GROUND
WITH REGARD TO FIDELITY.
IT WENT TO SINGAPORE WHICH HE IS
VIOLATING THE SPIRIT OF, WITH NO
VERIFICATION PROTOCOLS
VERIFICATION PROTOCOLS WHATSOEVER.
WHATSOEVER. SO THIS IS ALL NONSENSE.
IT IS REALITY THEATER WITH
DEADLY, DEADLY CONSEQUENCES.
IT WAS THE STRATEGIC AIM OF THE
NORTH KOREAN REGIME, ONE OF THE
MOST EVIL AND VIOLENT IN THE
WORLD, A SLAVE REGIME TORSION
ELEVATE ITS LEADER TO MAXIMUM
STANDING ON THE WORLD STAGE, AND
THEY ACHIEVED THAT BY STANDING
NEXT TO THE PRESIDENT OF THE
UNITED STATES.
UNITED STATES. KIM JONG-UN KNOWS HIS NUCLEAR
WEAPONS GUARANTEE HIM INSURANCE
AGAINST INVASION BY THE UNITED
STATES.
STATES. SO DONALD TRUMP PLAYED ALL HIS
CARDS AND HE IS LEFT WITH A PAIR
OF TWOS.
OF TWOS. WHAT HE PROVED HIMSELF TO BE WAS
INEXPERIENCED, NAIVE, IGNORANT
AND A FAL ON THE WORLD STAGE.
AND THAT WAS NOTED BY OVER
ADVERSARY OF THE COUNTRIES.
>> AND I WANT TO ASK IF YOU
YOU’RE SURPRISED THAT NOT A
SINGLE NATIONALLY APPOINTED
SECURITY OFFICIAL HAS RESIGNED
OVER WHAT YOU JUST DESCRIBED.
IT IS OBVIOUS TO EVERYONE HERE
AND AROUND THE WORLD.
I AM SHOCKED THAT THERE ARE NOT
MORE SALLY YATES’S.
PARTICULARLY WHEN WE SEE THE
PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES
GOING BEHIND CLOSED DOORS WITH
VLADIMIR PUTIN AGREEING ON WHO
KNOWS WHAT, SAYING WHO KNOWS
WHAT, MAKING WHO KNOWS WHAT
GUARANTEES TO PUTIN, WHAT
PROMISES TO TURN ANOTHER EYE OF
PUTIN EYE IN THE BALTICS OR
ANYWHERE ELSE ON THE GLOBE.
HE ASSAULTS THE CHANCELLOR OF
GERMANY, HE QUESTIONS AND
ASSAULTS NATO, QUESTIONS THE
NEED FOR THE EUROPEAN UNION.
HE IS AN AGENT DE FACTO OF
RUSSIAN FOREIGN POLICY.
THE FOREIGN POLICIES HE’S
ADVOCATING, THE BIPARTISAN
CONSENSUS THAT WAS BETWEEN
REPUBLICANS AND DEMOCRATS WOULD
HAVE RECOGNIZED HIS FOREIGN
POLICY AS CLEARLY IN THE MIDDLE
LANE OF STRATEGIC INTERESTS.
TO SEE IT VAMSED BY AN AMERICAN
PRESIDENT IS AS DISTURBING AS IT
IS SHOCKING.
IS SHOCKING. >> YOUR REWARD IS THAT WE’LL ASK
TO YOU STICK AROUND FOR ONE MORE
MINUTE.
MINUTE. THERE IS A REAL HEADSCRATCHER.
IS IT POSSIBLE THE PRESIDENT
