long lasting and actual real solutions and if they're ready to do that then the United
States, as we've said before."

LOU DOBBS: North Korea is willing to resolve issues with US following cancelled summit - Duration: 15:41.
President Trump canceled the North Korea summit over open hostility as he put it
from Kim jong-un and his regime however President Trump hinting the tarts could
began again if North Korea were willing to change course in harmony prosperity
and peace that bright and beautiful future can only happen when the threat
of nuclear weapons is removed no way it can happen otherwise if and when Kim
jong-un's uses to engage in constructive dialogue and actions I am waiting and
North Korea didn't wait very long inviting a handful of journalists to
observe as their nuclear site was quote-unquote dismantled we know three
explosions took place but there were no nuclear experts there no weapons experts
and those who watched from afar halfway around the globe suggesting this is all
more symbolic than practical but that's the sort of blather that you hear from
people who don't know anything some believe the Hermit Kingdom may have
sites that they're not disclosing and in 2008 they did blow up a cooling tower
negotiations fell through nonetheless joining us tonight congressman Lee
Zeldin he serves on the House Foreign Affairs Committee he calls he's calling
for the appointment of a second special counsel to investigate an absolutely
corrupted Department of Justice and and FBI leadership good to have you here
Congress great to be back it didn't take hours for the North Koreans to respond
and now they want to talk after the president said there will be no June 12
summit your thoughts it's important to treat our friends as our friends and our
adversaries as our adversaries understanding our adversaries do not
respect weakness the only respect strength and when we say you can't
be silent it's not because we want Wars but it's because we want to make sure
that we're able to prevent it and the president in approaching this entire
situation North Korea knows that the North Koreans and these other nations
will only respect the United States and President Trump if we go into it from a
position of strength and our hand just became stronger with the president
showing a willingness not only to walk away from the summit if the North
Koreans continue with these antics and the Chinese possibly as well but
military force is an option as and with that being a real option I think
strengthens his hands as far as diplomacy and the economic pressure and
the president conveyed today I thought absolutely no suggestion whatsoever of
anger he was constrained even as he basically was threatening the North
Koreans with their own destruction and managed at the same time to validate
again the terms of a summit which are very straightforward this president said
it and said it again and again today you will Denis clear eyes and that is
non-negotiable and remember where we were just a few years ago President
Obama negotiating with Iran and negotiating from a position of weakness
red lines getting crossed Iran using rhetoric like calling us the Great Satan
chanting death to America still legally test-firing intercontinental ballistic
missiles and you remember when they took our sailors and embarrass them with the
photos and videography or suspension and secretary Kerry said thank you that was
his response not anymore and President Lee the congressman is not
just using an aside there that is it an exact quote from Secretary of State
Kerry thank you thank you president Trump though is showing that this is not
that he's setting red lines he's being strong but he was not provocative last
August when he was talking about fire and fury the fact is of North Korea
attacked the United States they we met with fire and fury and while we're here
in our any of our allies and we're here in our country and we're asking is Kim
jong-un crazy enough is he to do this or do that
I think Kim jong-un was over North Korea saying no and I think Donald Trump is
crazy enough to attack me and what by making that military option look real
and with the state of the economy and even in last August when the ambassador
Haley and and president Trump they were able to get a unanimous UN Security
Council resolution passed that even China and North Korea voted for you know
you've said President Trump is crazy enough I think I think he is saying that
III I think Kim jong-un right now and his regime understand that this
president is smart enough determined enough and courageous enough to do
exactly what he is intimating and I think that I've never seen a clear
example of the man's I collected cool are his his constraint than today
because he had to be furious in in some measure he did not in in any way in any
way I allow anyone to see that anger that he might possess I would say almost
surely possesses but I think he has made his mind up and I think that's got to
scare the hell out of the Koreans and by the way I think it scares the hell out
of Shane ping and I think he's learning a lesson here perhaps had more profound
lesson than even Kim jong-un I will I will say this you'll first off if Kim
jong-un is known to be homicidal in that suicidal and I think that's part of his
calculation as well and without disclosing any confidence I yesterday I
traveled president Trump to Long Island and there were a couple of times what
was with him that broached the topic of North Korea and all I'll say is this he
knows exactly what he's doing he is thinking through this is
incredibly important to him but it's very deliberate and he's calm cool and
collected and strong and I believe that his decision today was necessary to let
the North Koreans know that they are not in charge they're not there they don't
they're not going to role the United States the way that the Iranians rolled
the United States three years ago I think this president made that clear in
his first year in office I really do he served notice that he is not in any
part the in the order of succession of the incompetent presidents that we've
had in office think about this three presidents in a row three of the worst
presidents we've had in our country's history that is Clinton that is Bush and
that is Obama and this country is very very lucky that this is our president
now right and he understands the art of the deal
he also understands the need to prioritize America first in these
negotiations and he's also talking about how important this is for the world he's
exercising leadership on the world stage I remember going to Israel in August of
2015 meeting with Bibi and in saying you know like this guy was reluctantly in
the leader of the free world we don't have one right now up right now we have
a leader of the free world and he's our president absolutely congressman Louie
Zelda good to have you with great to be back thank you James clapper now claims
the Russians swung the 2016 presidential election for Donald Trump
the former Obama Intel chief supposed bombshell comment contradicting the the
view of the entire intelligence community's formal assessment released
after they thoroughly investigated the matter last year in joining us now
former FBI assistant director great American and terrific terrific friend of
this broadcast good to see you James James Kallstrom nice to be yellow let's
say I mean I can't even believe the nonsense
unreal from the former NDI yeah does he forget what his testimony was before the
Congress I said I guess he does and I don't think it matters to him one whit
whether he's good an ally or not yeah the man needs some psychiatric help
and what about James call me it call me as you know we've been talking about at
least I have among others for about a year and a half now and call me mm-hmm
and he he's the guy with the biggest attitude and the biggest he puts himself
on this huge pedestal the ego is just unbelievable yet he has no common sense
and and you know to think that he could pull off this whitewash of a fraudulent
investigation on Hillary Clinton when the president of Obama himself on at
least two occasions said there's no evidence against her she's she's done
nothing wrong I mean you'd have to be a moron not to not to know that that was
just a phony thing from the very beginning yeah not to understand the dog
whistle from the president about his former Secretary of State he couldn't
have been clearer I agree with you yeah I and and for the most obvious I
think the most obvious pay-for-play scandal in this country's history is the
Clinton Foundation and for the FBI to permit itself to conclude that they're
not going to have an investigation then try to sell the nonsense that don't
worry we got it under control out in the Little Rock well it wasn't the FBI
wasn't investigating the Clinton Foundation I've called it you know a big
a RICO case than the Mafia right quite frankly you know more sophisticated more
money involved you know and it wasn't that the FBI agents didn't want to
investigate it it's you know these five or six or twelve or fifteen or twenty or
whoever who this number of secretary and then why should there be a much larger
out that we maybe it's 50 but I'll tell you right now Lou it's not the thousands
of agents that are out there there I hear from tons and tons of these people
they are so upset about what is going on you know and some of your guests on this
show who I think I I respect you know I've talked about turning over the FBI
to the Marshal Service I think that's really a crazy idea everyone has their
own idea but that is not anything that should ever happen we need new
leadership we need and discipline we need to get rid of the top-ranking
people in there right now what I bring a leader in there that can motivate and
discipline the agency that's what needs to happen right here's what I think and
I like that your judgment about the future of the FBI as an institution yes
I personally believe it depends on how many agents step forward and say under
subpoena what truly happened if there isn't that residual within the rank and
file of FBI I think that the institution is
doomed in and by the way I've got and sitting here with the greatest respect
and affection for you I have to say that if they don't step up here that they
deserve that institution to be absolutely swept aside well I believe
the vast majority of those that have knowledge that have a reason that step
forward other than that's what they see on television every day yeah and that's
a small number because call me you know those other sycophants brought that
investigation and those other investigations close hold you know the
agents themselves in the field offices it was all taken away I mean they called
up the New York office and shut down their Clinton Foundation investigation
they shut it down on Little Rock it's not the agents that are out there it's
this group of people that perpetrated this fraud on on the country and thought
they could get away with it I mean it's just that it's been unbelievable what
we're doing to a fine institution I spent half my you know most of my adult
life there you know I know it's I know what people go to work for every day
there in the FBI well you know and it's a shame that this has happened that
we've put a series of bad leadership and I'll include Bob Muller in that
absolutely I mean Muller and and call you as a
disaster both working in the high and most highly politicized administration
they politicized the Justice Department the FBI the Internal Revenue Service the
list goes on Obama know part bomber government they do police Obama
politicized the entire government yeah you know and he filled it with
sycophants and the people would succumb to the Stockholm Syndrome and I mean
it's just a tragedy what went on you know and guys like Brennan and clapper
and call me how did you ever create how could they John ever running I mean what
of these horrible men whose exudes yeah off you all you have to do is watch the
man I know them I can tell you that's a good that's a good feeling on your part
because he said he's a really a psychopath that guy you know and all his
rantings and ravings and threatening people you know it we got to clean this
thing up resident united cluding the president of states and here we've got
the Deputy Attorney General threatening people I mean what is this
this here's a guy who's signed one of the renewals on the on the fraudulent
Pfizer application I mean what is going on here and today we we don't even know
whether the gang of eight the the heads of the House Intelligence and oversight
committees actually got to see the documents of origin leading to the
special counsel we don't we don't know whether they were just briefed about it
or were they had a nose patted on the head and I mean this conspiracies been
working for a long long time yeah you know in this getting Donald Trump
whenever there was an inkling that he was going to win this thing you know
there was a there was a fifth column a strong fifth column then and they're
still there today there's still there today I keep saying to folks and I will
continue to say to folks you know it's not just that this president has been
had the guts and the intelligence to drive this but to imagine what he was
Stan's every day yeah and has had to withstand from from the moment he ran
for this with Nona for 43 years and and there were him to stand up like he had
this guy and he's never rate he's never not gonna stand up oh no matter what
happens to these fools i I have I believe that wholeheartedly yeah yeah
it's great to see and God bless you lou dobbs god bless you James Kallstrom
thanks for being here
you

Trump has given us the ultimate Chinese import: American princelings #1 - Duration: 5:55.
Trump has given us the ultimate Chinese import: American princelings #1
In China, princelings are privileged relatives of high-level government officials.
Princelings benefit from nepotism and cronyism, using their family ties to conduct business and accumulate wealth.
They also serve as conduits for currying favor with their official relations.
Now President Trump has given us the ultimate Chinese import: American princelings.
They are his sons Donald Trump Jr.
and Eric Trump, daughter Ivanka Trump and son-in-law Jared Kushner.
Each engages in business activities and trades on their relationship with the president to pursue business deals and accumulate wealth.
Princelings Donald Jr.
and Eric run President Trump's worldwide business enterprises, although the president still owns and profits from his businesses.
Trump is the first president in modern times to refuse to divest ownership of holdings that were bound to cause conflicts of interest and create the impression of trading U.S.
policy for personal financial gain.
They were also bound to result in multiple violations of the Constitution's Foreign Emoluments Clause, which prohibits the president from receiving financial benefits from other governments without the consent of Congress, in order to prevent corrupting influence from abroad.
When the princeling sons tour the world developing business opportunities, they do so in the long shadow of the president.
Every prospective partner knows they are dealing with the president's sons, and this creates unique opportunities for foreign interests and governments to curry favor and buy influence with the president.
A recent example: In a move that stunned Trump's own advisers, and reversedthe government's previous position, Trump tweeted on May 13 that he wanted to help China's telecom giant ZTE avoid going out of business.
ZTE's problemsstemmed from violating American sanctions and a subsequent settlement of criminal and civil charges for those violations.
This had led to a ban on U.S companies exporting to ZTE, which prevented it from receiving American technology — the ban Trump undermined.
Lo and behold, it emerged that on May 11, two days before the presidential tweet, a Chinese state-owned construction company announced that it would make a loan of $500 million to Indonesian developers to help finance construction of a theme park.
The Trump Organization, operated by the princeling sons, is a partner in the theme park venture that reportedly will include a Trump-branded hotel and golf course.
Because Trump still owns his businesses, he is the beneficiary of all of this.
Today there are reports that Trump has reached a final deal with ZTE. These events raise at least the appearance of a corrupt bargain between China and Trump.
The American people have no way of knowing whether U.S.
policy was sold in return for advancing a major Trump business venture in Indonesia.
The questions only intensified when observers reported that China walked away from the latest round of trade negotiations with far more than they gave up.
This pattern raises serious questions about Trump violating the Foreign Emoluments Clause.
Princeling Jared Kushner was appointed to the White House staff as Trump's senior adviser with a broad range of responsibilities, including the Middle East and China.
Kushner partially divested some of his real estate business when he joined the White House staff, but he continued to own major real estate interests.
According to government financial disclosure reports, Kushner's real estate holdings and other investments are valued at as much as $761 million.
Kushner was known to need large sums of money for his real estate ventures.
Last year, after a founder of Apollo Global Management had multiple White House meetings with Kushner, the company loaned $184 million to the Kushner family real estate firm.
Similarly, shortly after Kushner met in the White House with the chief executive of Citigroup, the company lent the Kushner family real estate group and a partner $325 million.

Kennedy Former CIA military analyst Tara Maller discusses Can the US trust Nor - Duration: 12:13.
CIA chief nominee Gina Haskell has some congressional grill marks on her
backside and while a lot of senators had some pointed questions for the
dominatrix of doom she'll probably be confirmed as our nation's top spy
California senator Kamala Harris did her best future presidential candidate
impression by pointedly asking whether torture is immoral watch the fur fly
between these two gals on this exchange do you believe in hindsight that those
techniques were immoral senator what I believe sitting here today is that I
support the higher moral standard we have decided to hold ourselves exam sir
the question senator I think I've answered the question you've not do you
believe the previous techniques now armed with hindsight do you believe they
were Imam yes or no senator I believe that we should hold ourselves to the
moral standard outlined in the Army Field menu
hiding behind the old Army Field Manual how convenient
there were senators who question the wisdom of relitigated mistakes from 17
years ago and to them I would say we're still very much living our post 9/11
blunders in Iraq and especially in Afghanistan it would be lovely but naive
to think those bad choices were safely destroyed like so many damaging
videotapes they still actively manifest in the demented brains and damaged souls
of terrorists who have proliferated despite heavy-handed and poorly managed
torture torture was not moral 17 years ago
and despite hostile ah shucks silver-tongued promises it's not a far
stretch to think a CIA director all too familiar with such reprehensible
practices could put us on an enhanced handcart to hell we're still stinking up
the Middle East and smoldering costly Wars torture doesn't work and pointing
that out doesn't make you a big fat softie and appointing a career spy to
have the CIA in no way guarantees our dirty laundry and dark secrets we'll
stay dead and buried forever huge day in politics tomorrow three big primaries in
West Virginia Mountain Mama Indiana and Ohio they represent some of
the gops best hopes friends seeding incumbent Democrats in the president won
all three states in the 2016 race but the one getting the most attention of
course is West Virginia President Trump tweeted to the great people of West
Virginia we have together a really great chance to keep making a big difference
problem is don blankenship currently running for senate can't win the general
election in your state no way remember Alabama vote representative Jenkins or
Attorney General Morrissey Blankenship responded shortly after with the
statement saying quote I am Trump e'er than drunk okay buddy so how is this all
gonna shake out and what will it mean for November with me now CEO of American
majority and former presidential writer for George W Bush Ned Ryan is here along
with Fox News political analyst and former candidate DNC chair jammu green
welcome to you both thanks Kennedy hi hi Jamil good to see you okay so Ned I will
start with you don blankenship in some polls has a
little bit of an advantage over Evan Jenkins and mr. Morrissey stop me oh ho
ho stop me stop me if you think you've heard this one before oh my gosh I I'm
saying a prayer the Republican voters in West Virginia don't shoot themselves in
the foot tomorrow the last thing we need Kennedy is a rerun of Alabama where we
had a deep red state we had a chance to win a Senate race and we end up putting
a deeply flawed candidate ended up losing the seat and and the most
important thing that that voters in West Virginia need to understand when they go
to the polls tomorrow they need to have three words in their heads Kennedy
judges judges and judges Trump's great legacy could be reshaping the federal
bench by appointing young Federal Society judges who can be on the bench
for a generation deconstruct the administrative state but unless the
Republicans keep the Senate he can't do that and they can't keep the Senate if
they put up terrible deeply flawed candidates in the fall elections and so
I hope especially in West Virginia they understand Don Blankenship cannot be the
nominee I'll take Morrissey I'll take Jenkins it
cannot be Blankenship because just just a few weeks ago Manchin was down by nine
points to a generic Republican this is one of the best opportunities
kids have to take a seat don't screw it up tomorrow voters and West Virginia
please yeah and and I mean Alabama obviously crimson red now has a
Democratic senator because of you know similar candidacy issues Jammu but you
say the Democrats are wise to not count their chickens before they hatch there's
still a lot that could happen between now and the midterms what did Democrats
have to do right well certainly start by not like resting on our laurels I think
if you look back two years ago Democrats never would have imagined being in this
position where we are closer to being able to take back the Senate as well as
how good it looks in the house but we can't get ahead of ourselves but oh my
gosh thank goodness Donald Trump is learning
can we just stop and appreciate that for a second that he understands that the
threat that blankenship poses to the Republicans in the Senate so I think
that's great for America but Republicans Kennedy when did criminality become like
a prerequisite for nomination in red states this is crazy that the
front-runner is Virginia that's a really good point people who Satan's yeah and
and people and can he vote for himself and Don Blankenship is saying you know
don't tell us how to run our state it's like now if you want it if you want to
keep the Senate and you're a Republican let someone tell you not to nominate one
of these Yahoo's last word Ned yeah yeah no I'm gonna state very something very
obvious a CAPTA Captain Obvious moment Kennedy
you probably shouldn't nominate somebody to be your candidate in the general
who's been in prison sometime in the last ten years and so I hope that people
understand like him secret on this reform but this guy he brought his gourd
Jamilah net to both ears he's he's checking into his parole officer still I
start from the principle that I don't trust North Korea and I think that's
probably a good place for the president to be
they're engaged in what I call accommodation this is a period of
accommodation you look at the history of dealing with North Korea we've gone
through periods of provocation and periods of accommodation and even we try
to work with them when there are these periods of accommodation but ultimately
we found out that we couldn't trust them can we trust Kim jong-eun little
Rocketman ahead of these nuclear talks even after the prisoner release former
CIA military analyst and spoke spokesperson for the counter extremism
project is here Tara Mahler Tara what do you make of these developments and the
hostages being released from North Korea sure the hostages being released is a
victory it is a huge victory to get three Americans who are being detained
home that goes without saying having said that that does not mean that we
have a victory here yet in terms of negotiations it's a good-faith gesture
by the North Koreans it shows some goodwill leading up to the
talks that's what you want to see from both sides you want positive rhetoric
you'd like to see that both sides are going to the table with genuine
willingness to compromise and reach some sort of agreement but North Koreans have
proven untrustworthy before North Koreans have proven to do things that
and renege on on parts of what they claim to want to be doing so I think
that it's an irreversible measure that they took to show good faith but they
might expect something in return that we're not willing to give so it remains
to be seen how this actually impacts the developments at the summit itself well
it's interesting because Senator Schumer is warning not to use these hostages as
bargaining chips but that's what North Korea would be doing not the United
States and so far we haven't heard of any concessions given for their release
and you know you have to realize the timeline here this is all happening
before the two leaders meet supposedly in Singapore so you know Schumer says
this gives countries especially rogue regimes incentive to take American
hostages what do you think about that worry no I don't really agree with that
I think that this move in and of itself is a positive development I don't think
it necessarily translate positive developments in terms of the
negotiations in fact the North Koreans could use this for PR purposes they
could use this going into the talks to say look we did this what is the United
States doing in return we haven't seen them give us a concession they're very
you know skilled and cunning when it comes to these maneuvers on the public
stage and in terms of propaganda for their own population so I'm not saying
that that's what happened here but we have to wait and see and I think one of
the key things to look for is the trustworthiness of the North Koreans
going to these talks and we're not gonna really know that until both parties get
to the table we see the deal that may or may not be made again president Trump
has said if he doesn't think a good deal is gonna be made he may even walk out of
the talks those are his worth yourself no he's good that he will get up and
walk away so right go ahead and get it exactly so he'll get up and walk away
and the key point here is even if the North Koreans agree to denuclearize
which I'm not sure they will in terms of the definition that the United States
wants them to which would be getting rid of all their ballistic missiles getting
rid of all their nuclear materials having open in very intrusive
inspections even if they do that we have to trust that we know where all the
material is that we know where all the sites are and that they're cooperating
in terms of verification we know because of you know first-hand accounts and
certainly thousands and thousands of pages of documents from the NSA that the
United States government has the ability to pretty much spy on anyone anywhere at
any given time through a number of means so we should absolutely know where their
nuclear arsenal and the capabilities are buried and located but you know what
about giving them the ability to have nuclear energy and opening up those
labor camps so some of the the other hostages and political prisoners and you
know those who have been sentenced to a lifetime a short lifetime of brutal
labor can be free I mean I'd love to fully agree with the first portion of
your statement about the quality of intelligence on North Korea and I'm no
longer in the intelligence community and I didn't work on North Korea but North
Korea is known to be one of the most difficult cases in terms of intelligence
and the quality of the intelligence and while we might have
good insight into the nuclear materials and their missiles there are you know
competing estimates out there in terms of numbers on missiles there are
competing estimates about our knowledge of where everything is located and only
one site needs to be hidden right for the potential denuclearization deal to
be violated or for them to be cheating and also they could go back on their
word so verification is going to be key I think it was a former Secretary of
Energy under President Obama who was saying the other day normally in these
cases you say trust but verify but when you're talking about the North Koreans
you say don't trust anything and verify verify verify because they've been known
to be very deceptive and they've broken out of deals that they've signed before
again that doesn't mean we shouldn't be trying to talk that doesn't mean this is
not all positive developments no it's the things are certainly headed in the
right direction but when the right direction
we can't waltz into those meetings with a ukulele strumming Kumbaya and hope for
the best to outcome just because hope is a neat thing it's not President Obama
proved it Tata thank you so much

Trump says North Korea-U.S. summit could still happen on June 12th - Duration: 2:13.
Our top story this afternoon...
A summit between North Korea and the United States could be back on.
U.S. President Donald Trump says it could even happen as previously planned -- on June
12th in Singapore.
Park Ji-won starts us off.
In his latest tweet on North Korea on Friday evening, U.S. time, President Trump said (quote)
"North Korea and the U.S. are having productive talks about reinstating the summit",... and
(quote) "if it does happen, it will likely remain in Singapore on the same date, June
12th, and, if necessary, will be extended beyond that date."
Speaking to reporters at the White House earlier on Friday,... Trump also suggested the summit
could still happen on the previously-set date,... as discussions are ongoing.
"We'll see what happens.
It could even be the 12th.
We are talking to them now.
They very much want to do it.
We'd like to do it.
We'll see what happens."
Regarding a question on whether the U.S. is concerned North Korea is playing games,...
President Trump said Pyongyang is not the only one to do so.
"Everybody plays games.
You know that.
You know that better than anybody."
Senior U.S. officials are backing up the possibility that the summit could still happen on June
12th.
U.S. State Department Spokeswoman Heather Nauert said Friday that (quote) "there are
always high points and low points in diplomacy,"... and said the State Department is working on
plans going forward.
U.S. Defense Secretary James Mattis also said the summit could still take place,... if diplomats
can pull it off.
In a surprise move on Thursday,...
President Trump announced that the summit was off,... citing North Korea's "tremendous
anger and open hostility" against the U.S..
Some eight hours after Trump's announcement,... North Korea's Vice Foreign Minister Kim Kye-gwan
released a statement,... urging the U.S. to give more thought to cancelling the June 12th
summit.
It also said Kim Jong-un has poured his efforts into summit preparations,... adding the North

U.S. will be ready if North Korea summit takes place June 12: White House - Duration: 0:37.
The White House says the U.S. will be ready.... if a summit happens in Singapore on June 12th.
Let's take a look at what White House Press Secretary Sarah Huckabee Sanders had to say
on Friday:
"Certainly we'd like to have a meeting but the president is not just looking to have
a meeting.
He's not looking for just a cheap political stunt, he wants to get something that's a
long lasting and actual real solutions and if they're ready to do that then the United
States, as we've said before."
Sanders added that having talks would be good for the world, but even better for North Korea.

Trump says North Korea-U.S. summit could still happen on June 12th - Duration: 2:20.
It was on... then off... and now, could it be back on again?
President Donald Trump has suggested that the North Korea-U.S. summit could happen as
previously planned... on June 12th in Singapore.
This comes just a day after Trump sent a letter to Kim Jong-un calling it off.
Our Park Ji-won has more on another remarkable turnaround.
In his latest tweet on North Korea on Friday evening, U.S. time, President Trump said (quote)
"North Korea and the U.S. are having productive talks about reinstating the summit",... and
(quote) "if it does happen, it will likely remain in Singapore on the same date, June
12th, and, if necessary, will be extended beyond that date."
Speaking to reporters at the White House earlier on Friday,... Trump also suggested the summit
could still happen on the previously-set date,... as discussions are ongoing.
"We'll see what happens.
It could even be the 12th.
We are talking to them now.
They very much want to do it.
We'd like to do it.
We'll see what happens."
Regarding a question on whether the U.S. is concerned North Korea is playing games,...
President Trump said Pyongyang is not the only one to do so.
"Everybody plays games.
You know that.
You know that better than anybody."
Senior U.S. officials are backing up the possibility that the summit could still happen on June
12th.
U.S. State Department Spokeswoman Heather Nauert said Friday that (quote) "there are
always high points and low points in diplomacy,"... and said the State Department is working on
plans going forward.
U.S. Defense Secretary James Mattis also said the summit could still take place,... if diplomats
can pull it off.
In a surprise move on Thursday,...
President Trump announced that the summit was off,... citing North Korea's "tremendous
anger and open hostility" against the U.S..
Some eight hours after Trump's announcement,... North Korea's Vice Foreign Minister Kim Kye-gwan
released a statement,... urging the U.S. to give more thought to cancelling the June 12th
summit.
It also said Kim Jong-un has poured his efforts into summit preparations,... adding the North
is willing to sit down face-to-face with Washington at any time, and in any format.

Gen. Joe Dunford's remarks at the U.S. Military Academy 2018 Graduation Ceremony - Duration: 13:47.
Good morning, ladies and gentlemen. It's an honor to be with you as we recognize
the accomplishments of the class of 2018 and we witness the commissioning of
our newest Army leaders. Congressman Womack, thank you for your
leadership here at the academy, but more importantly thanks for all you do for
our men and women in uniform. Secretary Esper, General Milley--thank you both to
your leadership and I know the soldiers in the crowd would agree with me that
the Army of the United States could not be in better hands. General Caslen, thanks for the
introduction but more importantly, Supe, thanks for your leadership at West Point
the last five years and throughout your distinguished career. As you prepare to
retire, know that you've left behind an extraordinary legacy--the most important
legacy a leader can leave behind--and that's a legion of men and women that
are proud to call themselves Caslen-trained and Mrs. Caslen, Shelley, I know
you're out there somewhere, I want to thank you for the what you've done
for the countless cadets, their families, and our Army families through over four
decades of service and cadets, the Supe asked you a minute ago to recognize
your parents, I'm gonna ask you to please stand up and recognize your
superintendent. He would not want me to do that but I got to tell you after 43
years of active duty and all he has done to help shape and mold you for the
future, I'd ask you to join me in recognizing the impact he's had on you.
And most importantly, to the class of 2018: congratulations. I know today caps what's
been a busy week of events to recognize your accomplishments and I'm sure you're
feeling pretty good at this point, and you should. Four years ago you accepted the
challenge to join the Long Gray Line. You could have chosen an easier path, but you
didn't. As General Caslen said, you faced that cadet in the red sash on "R-
day" and, according to legend, there were torrential rains on that day. You
survived Beast Barracks, plebe boxing, Camp Buckner and you were scrambled not
once, but twice, and I understand that you were actually the last class to be
scrambled. It wasn't easy, in fact I was told by the president of your class, it was so
tough you posted the lowest plebe grades of any class in recent history.
and your class president told me that with some source of pride but looking at
you now, whether you're the honor grad or "the goat," you made it. And among you are
scholarship recipients, world-class athletes, inventors and published authors.
And, as General Caslen said, we can't forget it was while you were here that
the tide was finally turned in the Army-Navy game.
You know, I thought that you would probably get excited about that, but I
want to tell you, I've been the chairman now for three Army-Navy games. I'm two
for three. And Army has actually scored more points when I have sat on the Army
side, then when I sat on the Navy side so the coaches, the twelfth man and the
team may get some credit, but I'm taking a little bit of credit myself for what
happened those two years. On a more serious note, I want to personally thank
you for answering the call to serve during a very challenging time. You chose,
you chose to join an Army at war and to that point, today there's more than
178,000 soldiers actively supporting missions around the world. Many are in
harm's way and they're joined by thousands more sailors, airmen and
Marines and as we celebrate today I'd ask you to keep them and their families
in your thoughts and prayers. This is also Memorial Day weekend and I'd ask you
to be particularly mindful of those that have made the ultimate sacrifice and our
Gold Star families. While those of you graduating today
should be proud of what you've accomplished, I know that you recognize
you didn't get here by yourself. And appropriately enough the superintendent
recognized the families as we began the program and I would tell you those of us
sitting in the dais have the best seats in the house because we have the
chance to look out at the faces of the parents, the grandparents, the siblings and
the friends and their faces are beaming with pride and they should be. They played an
important part in you sitting here today. But I'd also ask you to recognize the
faculty and staff here at the Academy. You couldn't have the premier leadership
experience in the world were it not for their efforts. And perhaps more
importantly they have, over the last four years, shown you what right looks like
and they have every reason to be proud of you today and I'd ask you to please
recognize the contribution that the faculty and staff at the premier
leadership institution in the world has had on you.
Class of 2018 you might find it hard to imagine but I've been in your shoes.
And although it's been 41 years ago this week, I can clearly recall my own
graduation and commissioning and how anxious I was to get on with the next
phase of my life. I wasn't particularly interested in what the graduation
speaker had to say you, and I'm going to make a bold assumption: I'm going to
assume that many of you share the same sentiment that I had on my graduation
day about the graduation speaker. So with that in mind I'm not going to go on long,
but as you prepare for the challenges of Army leadership in the next chapter of your
lives, I just want to leave you with a few thoughts. First point I'd make is
that the profession of arms is dynamic and to be successful, you have to anticipate
and embrace the constant changes in the character war. Here at West Point, you've
studied military history and you recall the price paid in the 20th century by
armies that were slow to adapt. One hundred years ago, leaders on both sides
of World War I were slow to grasp the significance of emerging technologies and
the changing character of war. The price for that delay was high--ten
million in uniform were killed--a figure that's unfathomable today. To some
extent, you can say the same thing about the eve of World War II.
For example while a blitzkrieg reflected the Germans appreciation for the
potential of armor supported by close- air, major Western armies continued to view
the tank as merely an infantry support weapon and frankly,
if we look back at change over the past century, most of the changes occurred
after significant failure. But there were notable exceptions. In the years before
Vietnam, a small number of Army leaders considered how the helicopter might be
employed to enhance mobility on the battlefield.
among them were men like Jim Gavin from the West Point class of '29 Hamilton
Howze from the class of '30 and Hal Moore from the class of '45. Their ideas rapidly
evolved from articles and briefings to the 1965 combat deployment of the first
Calvary Division- Airmobile. These soldiers drove innovation that combined
emerging technology with operational concepts. They fundamentally changed Army
maneuver.
And their ideas remain relevant today.
The moral of the story is that there's no substitute for taking a clear-eyed
look at the threats we'll face and asking how our force will adapt to meet those
threats. There's no substitute for leaders like Jim Gavin that recognized
the power of new ideas, new technologies and new concepts, and more importantly
there's no substitute for leaders like Hal Moore with a bias for action and a
drive to affect change. For the class of 2018,
I believe the need to aggressively lead change is going to be particularly
important to you. I say that because everyone here in a Dais knows that the
pace of change and the speed of war has greatly accelerated and in many ways the
environment that you're going to lead in is very different than the one that
confronted lieutenants in 1918, in 1968, or frankly even in 2008. So regardless of
where you find yourself serving in our Army, challenge yourself to be the
kind of leader that continues to think about, to write about, and to lead change.
Bring your intellectual curiosity and the openness to new ideas that
you established here at West Point--bring that with you forward in your days as an
Army leader. Be inspired by those soldiers who pioneered air assault and
the many others who have enabled the Army to adapt and win throughout our
nation's history. Class of 2018, earlier I mentioned how
clearly I remember my graduation day and how disinterested I was in the speaker but
there's something else that I remember very clearly about the day that I was
commissioned. Like you, I had studied military history and I remember finding it
difficult to identify with the exploits and the courage of those who went before
me. I remember wondering how I would meet the expectations of my future platoon.
How would I respond if I was called to lead them in harm's way or how would I
deal with those tough leadership issues that we know we will all experience? I
wondered if I'd remember anything that I had learned in school and you may be
sitting here having similar thoughts. You may wonder how you'll measure up to your
predecessors: the Pattons the Eisenhowers or the Bradleys. Closer to
home you may wonder how you'll measure up to some of the leaders who have
influenced you here at West Point. Leaders like Major Nick Eslinger now
teaching in Behavioral Sciences and leadership. As a platoon leader in Iraq
he courageously risked his life to protect his fellow soldiers. Or Major
Jill Rahon from the Physics Department. Jill had the presence of mind and the
courage to pull two fellow pilots from a burning helicopter before their rockets
cooked off or Major Jake Miraldi from the
Department of Military Instruction. Jake demonstrated exceptional competence and
leadership while leading a Quick Reaction Force during some of the
toughest fighting in Afghanistan. You may also wonder if you'll meet the
challenge of leading in a period of great change and have the leadership and
the drive of Hal Moore. Well you may wonder, you may wonder the most important
question: Will you meet the expectation of your soldiers? But I've got to tell
you, just like General Caslen mentioned a minute ago, when I look out at you I
don't have those concerns. Don't get me wrong-- I'm not understating for a minute
the impact that your predecessors have had or their accomplishments. What they
did was remarkable. In the end, they took ordinary groups of young men and women
and inspired them to do extraordinary things at places like Normandy, Ia
Drang and Nuristan and that's certainly a big deal. But if you look at how these
leaders succeeded I think you'll recognize the method. And you remember
that the fundamentals of leadership are the most important aspect of our
profession and they're a part of our profession that hasn't changed since
President Jefferson founded this institution in 1802. It's true that your
predecessors like Lieutenant Eslinger, Lieutenant Rahon and Lieutenant Miraldi
attacked their profession with energy and enthusiasm. It's true that they were
smart, they were tough, and they were competent. And it's true that many of
them demonstrated great courage when called to lead in harm's way.
But it's also true that the primary reason your predecessors were successful
is that they recognize that after West Point, it was no longer about their
individual capabilities. They knew it was about their team. They knew it was about
instilling an esprit in their units and a will to fight in their individual
soldiers. They knew it was about establishing a bond of trust between the
leaders and the led. In the end they knew that character, competence, courage and
commitment-- that's all part of the sticker price of being an Army leader.
After West Point, you get no more credit for that-- it's a given. As a lieutenant
you won't be wearing the star or the wreath on your uniform nor will you be
displaying your athletic trophies. When you check into units, your soldiers will
simply want to know that you'll lead from the front and you'll put their
interests ahead of your own. To paraphrase one of your more quotable
predecessors, General George Patton: "Wars may be fought with weapons, but they are
won by men and women. It's the spirit of the soldiers who follow and the officers
who lead that gained victory." Class of 2018 what I'm really reminding
of this morning is something very similar to what the superintendent said
a minute ago: if you take care of your soldiers, they'll take care of you.
If you lead, they'll follow, and together you'll take the hill. Thank you, in
advance, for taking care of the young men and women who'll proudly follow your
lead. Thanks for carrying on the traditions of the Long Gray Line.
God bless you. Semper Fidelis and Army strong.
