Our top story this evening.

The second North Korea-U.S. summit is just around the corner,… and U.S. President Donald

Trump expressed high hopes of a fruitful discussion with North Korean leader Kim Jong-un and hailed

Pyeongyang's economic potential.

Our Won Jung-hwan starts us off.

Optimism is growing ahead of the upcoming North Korea-U.S. summit in Vietnam,... scheduled

to take place at the end of this month.

U.S. President Donald Trump said Friday that he is hopeful the next summit will be QUOTE

"very much equally as successful" as the first summit in Singapore last June.

"I hope we have the same good luck as we had in the first summit.

A lot was done in the first summit."

These latest remarks come after Trump praised North Korea for suspending its ballistic missile

and nuclear tests,... and returning the remains of fallen American soldiers from the Korean

War.

The two sides had seemingly reached an impasse... amid U.S. demands for more concrete steps

toward denuclearization and North Korean calls for corresponding measures.

However,... Trump said he is in no rush to denuclearize North Korea,… and simply wants

the regime to refrain from testing nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles to maintain

good will.

"Now where are we now?

No missiles, no rockets, no nuclear testing, we've learned a lot.

But much more importantly than all of it, much more important, much much more important

than that is we have a great relationship.

I have a very good relationship with Kim Jong-un."

Trump took a brief swipe at North Korea, saying the Pyeongyang regime had taken advantage

of the U.S. in the past... by taking billions of dollars worth of aid in exchange for promises

of denuclearization.

While emphasizing that it won't happen again... Trump hailed North Korea's economic potential,

dangling the prospect of growth and prosperity... should the regime continue on its path of

peace.

In regards to sanctions,... Trump says they remain firmly in place...

although his cabinet has recently hinted at a more flexible approach... given that North

Korea meets the right conditions.

Republicans flip-flop to back Trump's national emergency - Duration: 1:47.

I think it would be a terrible idea.

I'm hoping we don't go down that road.

I'm disappointed.

What the president is suggesting he may do is clearly prohibited by law.

My goodness!

I mean, does the president not have any respect for the process?

We did not elect a dictator; we elected a president.

I think it would be a profound mistake for the president of the United States

to overturn American immigration law with the stroke of a pen.

It's very very clear that he has said, "I'm not going

to enforce the laws that I don't want to enforce.

And by the way Congress, I'm going to recommend legislation to you and if you don't pass

that legislations, I'm going to implement it by my executive edict.

I will oppose President Obama's effort to unilaterally fix a broken immigration system

This is a tremendous presidential overreach.

Signing an executive order, giving a speech, barnstorming around the country defending

that executive order is not leadership.

I hope we have a new president who respects what the office is supposed to be about, who

follows the constitutional rule of law and who understands that congress is not just

an inconvenience, not just an inconvenience, that congress is part of the process.

Trump Declares National Emergency, Claims Media Backers Don't Influence Decisions | THR News - Duration: 1:52.

Donald Trump is pushing back against those who think his backers in conservative

media tell him what to do. In a White House address on Friday, Trump said popular

personalities, including Fox News host Sean Hannity, radio host Rush Limbaugh

and pundit Ann Coulter, "don't decide policy."

The three hosts have all been seen as crucial outside advisors to the president on the

topic of immigration, with Hannity referred to as Trump's "shadow chief of staff"

in the press. Trump said,

Of Limbaugh, he said,

Trump also spoke fondly of Fox News hosts Laura Ingraham and Tucker Carlson,

two strong voices in the conservative world on combating illegal immigration.

He said, "Laura's been great, Tucker Carlson's been great."

He then added that he's gotten backing from pundits on CNN, a network he

strongly dislikes.

Okay, so it looks like everyone's terrific, unbelievable, and great. Great!

Trump also used the address to announce his decision to declare a national

emergency to fund the building of a wall along the U.S.-Mexico border.

According to aides, bypassing Congress, which approved $1.4 billion, far below the

$5.7 billion he insisted he needed, Trump announced he'll be spending roughly $8 billion

on border barriers. And to do so, he'll be combining the money approved by Congress

with funding he plans to take from federal military construction and counter drug

efforts for the wall. A move that is already drawing bipartisan criticism on Capitol Hill

and is expected to face rounds of legal challenges.

MUELLER LEARNED THE ONE TRUTH THAT CHANGED THE FATE OF HIS PLAN TO IMPEACH TRUMP - Duration: 5:59.

MUELLER LEARNED THE ONE TRUTH THAT CHANGED THE FATE OF HIS PLAN TO IMPEACH TRUMP

Robert Mueller set out on his rigged witch hunt with the one goal of destroying Donald

Trump.

And he has one card left to play that could decide everything.

Now Robert Mueller is about to learn the one truth that will change the fate of his plan

to impeach Trump.

The biggest weapon in Robert Mueller's arsenal is his report.

Department of Justice regulations require Mueller to submit a report to the Attorney

General explaining why he filed certain charges and detailing why his office refused to bring

other charges.

In this case, the two items Americans are most interested in are collusion with Russia

and obstruction of justice.

Many Americans fear that Mueller will frame his report to make President Trump appear

guilty without actually charging him with a crime.

The backdoor Mueller can use to frame Trump for an impeachable offense without actually

making the case Trump is criminally liable is to write a report detailing all the actions

Trump took in the run up to and after the firing of former FBI Director James Comey.

Mueller and his gang of angry Democrats can lay out a road map of what they view as Trump's

misdeeds and follow the letter of the law by explaining that they did not bring charges

against Donald Trump because Department of Justice guidelines prevent indicting a sitting

President.

Some Trump supporters also fear that Mueller will not simply submit a report saying the

case is closed against the President on the collusion front.

Mueller has not charged any Trump associate with conspiracy with the Russians.

Instead, he racked up a number of process crimes for making false statements about interactions

with Russians.

Mueller's team could submit a report that claims these supposed false statements obstructed

their ability o investigate possible Russian collusion and blame Trump's team for concocting

a cover up of the crime even though in reality there is no evidence one exists.

But there is also no regulation that says the report must be made public.

Its fate lies with the Attorney General.

And in this case that will soon be William Barr.

Once the Senate confirms Barr, the decision to make the Mueller report public is his and

his alone.

That worries some Trump supporters.

Some swamp Republicans recommended Barr for the job because of his good friendship with

Robert Mueller.

The anti-Trump resistance may have scored another victory in planting a Deep State mole

at the head of the Department of Justice.

Trump forced Jeff Sessions to resign because Sessions made it clear his loyalty resided

with the Deep State and not Donald Trump.

The Mueller report will present the test of William Barr's loyalty.

During his confirmation hearing, he sent some signals that he may not release the report.

Trump supporters do not believe that if Mueller submits a politically biased hatched job that

it should be released to the public so the Democrats can use it to frame the President

for imaginary impeachable offenses.

We will keep you up

to

date

on any

new developments.

TRUMP JUST WRECKED ROBERT MUELLER IN ONE TWEET - Duration: 7:33.

TRUMP JUST WRECKED ROBERT MUELLER IN ONE TWEET

PRESIDENT TRUMP ARGUABLY GAINED THE 2016 ELECTION BECAUSE OF HIS SOCIAL MEDIA PRESENCE.

SINCE TAKING OFFICE, HE HAS CONTINUED TO BE AMONG THE MOST VOCAL INFLUENCERS ON TWITTER.

AND HE JUST SHOWED HOW POWERFUL HIS TWITTER ACCOUNT CAN BE AFTER WRECKING ROBERT MUELLER

WITH THIS ONE TWEET.

PRESIDENT TRUMP IS A SOCIAL MEDIA ICON.

THE PRESIDENT HAS CONSTRUCTED A BIG FOLLOWING ON OUTLETS SUCH AS TWITTER AND FACEBOOK, AND

HAS CONTINUED TO CIRCUMVENT THE MAINSTREAM MEDIA THRU SOCIAL MEDIA EVER FOR THE REASON

THAT TAKING OFFICE.

AND THIS WEEK, THE PRESIDENT USED HIS TWITTER PLATFORM TO WRECK ROBERT MUELLER AFTER THIS

MASSIVE RECORD FROM CONGRESS CAME OUT, VINDICATING TRUMP AFTER YEARS OF ATTACKS.

AFTER MONTHS OF INVESTIGATION, A BIPARTISAN SENATE COMMITTEE DISCOVERED THAT THERE IS

NO EVIDENCE LINKING PRESIDENT TRUMP'S 2016 CAMPAIGN FOR THE WHITE HOUSE WITH RUSSIAN

INTERFERENCE IN THE ELECTION.

FOR YEARS, DEMOCRATS HAVE ARGUED, WITHOUT ANY EVIDENCE, THAT THE PRESIDENT USED TO BE

ILLEGALLY ELECTED TO WORKPLACE AFTER STEALING THE ELECTION FROM HILLARY CLINTON.

THAT HAS BEEN UTTERLY DEBUNKED.

NOT SOLELY HAS THAT FANTASY BEEN DESTROYED, BUT THE SENATE OUGHT TO NO LONGER LOCATE A

SINGLE SHRED OF PROOF SUGGESTING THERE USED TO BE ANY REALITY TO THE CLAIMS.

NATURALLY, THE PRESIDENT AND HIS SUPPORTERS HAD A MOTIVE TO CHEER.

AND PRESIDENT TRUMP DID EXACTLY THAT.

TRUMP TOOK TO TWITTER TO SHARE THE NEWS.

"THE SENATE INTELLIGENCE COMMITTEE: THERE IS NO EVIDENCE OF COLLUSION BETWEEN THE TRUMP

CAMPAIGN AND RUSSIA!"

TRUMP TWEETED ON WEDNESDAY.

THE TWEET HAS RECEIVED OVER 145,000 PREFERRED AND 34,000 RETWEETS.

TRUMP HAD STRONGLY ADVERSARIAL THE CLAIMS THAT HE CHEATED IN ORDER TO DEFEAT CLINTON.

AND THE DATA HAVE IN NO WAY SURELY BACKED UP THESE CLAIMS EITHER.

CLINTON LOST BECAUSE SHE WAS ONCE AN LOUSY CANDIDATE, NO LONGER BECAUSE DONALD TRUMP

COLLUDED WITH VLADIMIR PUTIN IN ORDER TO STEAL THE ELECTION.

PUTIN DIDN'T PERSUADE THE HUMAN BEINGS OF MICHIGAN, PENNSYLVANIA, AND WISCONSIN TO VOTE

FOR DONALD TRUMP.

TRUMP DID.

AND WHAT'S MORE, CLINTON'S CAMPAIGN DID THE WHOLE THING FEASIBLE TO LOSE VOTERS IN

THESE STATES.

CLINTON DIDN'T EVEN CAMPAIGN IN WISCONSIN ONCE DURING THE WHOLE ELECTION.

TRUMP DIDN'T WANT TO COLLUDE WITH MOSCOW IN ORDER TO WIN.

CLINTON DID ALL THE WORK NECESSARY TO WRECK HER POSSIBILITIES AT TRIUMPHING THOSE INTEGRAL

BATTLEGROUND STATES.

TRUMP HAS EACH CAUSE TO HAVE A GOOD TIME THEN.

AFTER ALL, THE LARGEST CONSPIRACY CONCEPT NORMAL IN DEMOCRATIC CIRCLES FOR THE PREVIOUS

TWO YEARS USED TO BE JUST BLOWN OUT OF THE WATER.

AND NOW, TWO YEARS LATER, TRUMP HAS SOONER OR LATER BEEN VINDICATED BY MEANS OF A BIPARTISAN

COMMITTEE.

IT'S NOT DIFFICULT TO UNDERSTAND WHY HE DECIDED TO TAKE TO TWITTER.

FOR DEMOCRATS, THE INFORMATION IS DEVASTATING.

NOT SOLELY HAS THE GREATEST RALLYING CRY AGAINST TRUMP'S LEGITIMACY BEEN SHATTERED, BUT THE

DEMOCRATIC ARGUMENT USED TO WIN CONTROL OF THE HOUSE IN 2018 IS NO LONGER ON THE TABLE

HEADING INTO THE 2020 ELECTIONS.

THIS MAY WANT TO HAVE PROFOUND OUTCOMES ON THE RACE FOR CONTROL OVER BOTH CHAMBERS OF

CONGRESS AND THE PRESIDENCY NEXT YEAR.

WHAT'S MORE, THE INFORMATION IS EVEN WORSE FOR ROBERT MUELLER, WHO GREATER OR MUCH LESS

STAKED HIS WHOLE INVESTIGATION ON THE CONCEPT THAT TRUMP COLLUDED WITH THE RUSSIANS.

THE TWEET IN PARTICULAR USED TO BE A LARGE BLOW TO MUELLER, AND CONFIRMED THAT TRUMP

IS NOW NOT EXECUTED WITH SLAMMING THE SPECIAL COUNSEL FOR CONTINUING HIS PARTISAN WITCH

HUNT.

DO YOU ASSUME THAT PRESIDENT TRUMP WAS ONCE RIGHT TO HAVE FUN THE INFORMATION CLEARING

HIM OF ANY CONNECTIONS TO COLLUSION WITH THE RUSSIANS?

LET US UNDERSTAND YOUR THOUGHTS IN THE COMMENTS

AREA BELOW.

ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE WHEN DONALD TRUMP DECLARED THIS STATE OF EMERGENCY - Duration: 6:28.

ALL HELL BROKE LOOSE WHEN DONALD TRUMP DECLARED THIS STATE OF EMERGENCY

SCHUMER AND NANCY PELOSI WERE BOASTING.

THE DEMOCRATS WERE TOASTING THE REALITY THEY TRUSTED THEY HAD BLOCKED DONALD TRUMP FROM

BUILDING HIS OUTSKIRT DIVIDER.

IN ANY CASE, AT THAT POINT POOP HIT THE FAN IN WASHINGTON WHEN PRESIDENT TRUMP PRONOUNCED

THIS HIGHLY SENSITIVE SITUATION.

RINO REPUBLICANS JOINED DEMOCRATS AND CONSENTED TO A FRINGE SECURITY BARGAIN THAT GAVE JUST

1.375 BILLION DOLLARS IN SUBSIDIZING FOR 55 MILES OF OUTSKIRT FENCING.

BE THAT AS IT MAY, IF THE DEMOCRATS – AND RINO REPUBLICANS – THOUGHT PRESIDENT TRUMP

WOULD ACKNOWLEDGE ROUT, THEY WERE DEAD OFF-BASE.

PRESS SECRETARY SARAH HUCKABEE SANDERS DISCHARGED AN ANNOUNCEMENT REPORTING THE PRESIDENT WOULD

SIGN THE SPENDING BILL AND PROCLAIM A NATIONAL HIGHLY SENSITIVE SITUATION TO ACCESS MILITARY

DEVELOPMENT ASSETS TO CONSTRUCT THE DIVIDER.

"PRESIDENT TRUMP WILL SIGN THE ADMINISTRATION SUBSIDIZING BILL, AND AS HE HAS EXPRESSED

PREVIOUSLY, HE WILL LIKEWISE MAKE OTHER OFFICIAL MOVE – INCLUDING A NATIONAL CRISIS – TO

GUARANTEE WE STOP THE NATIONAL SECURITY AND PHILANTHROPIC EMERGENCY AT THE FRINGE," HUCKABEE

SANDERS PROCLAMATION STARTED.

THE PRESS SECRETARY WRAPPED UP BY EXPRESSING, "THE PRESIDENT IS BY AND BY CONVEYING ON HIS

GUARANTEE TO MANUFACTURE THE DIVIDER, ENSURE THE OUTSKIRT, AND SECURE OUR INCREDIBLE NATION."

TRUMP'S SUPPORTERS IN CONGRESS CHEERED THE MOVE.

HOUSE FREEDOM CAUCUS CHAIRMAN MARK MEADOWS TWEETED, "DEMOCRATS' REFUSAL TO ARRANGE HAS

RENDERED CONGRESS AWKWARD AT CARRYING OUT ITS RESPONSIBILITY TO SECURE AMERICANS.

NOW POTUS IS COMPLETELY DIRECTLY TO UTILIZE PROTECTED OFFICIAL ACTIVITY SPECIALIST TO

MANUFACTURE THE DIVIDER AND SECURE OUR OUTSKIRT.

THIS IS A NATIONAL CRISIS.

I COMPLETELY BOLSTER HIM."

ALABAMA TRADITIONALIST CONGRESSMAN MO BROOKS TALKED ON THE HOUSE FLOOR FOR THE PRESIDENT

UTILIZING THE NATIONAL EMERGENCY ACT TO SUPPORT DEVELOPMENT FOR THE FRINGE DIVIDER.

CREEKS ROARED, "AMERICA'S MILITARY SECURES THE FRINGES OF, AND LIVES IN, SOUTH KOREA,

IRAQ, SYRIA, AFGHANISTAN, EUROPE, AND NUMEROUS DIFFERENT NATIONS.

AMERICA, AND AMERICANS, MERIT NO LESS SECURITY!"

FOUNDATION REPUBLICANS – AND MANY PHONY NEWS JOURNALISTS – WRUNG THEIR HANDS ABOUT

TRUMP'S "STANDARD BREAKING CHOICE."

HOWEVER, TRUMP DID NOT DISREGARD ANY INSTITUTIONAL SHIELDS OR BREAK NEW GROUND.

THE SUPERVISOR OF THE FEDERALIST, SEAN DAVIS, CALLED ATTENTION TO THAT OVER THE MOST RECENT

18 YEARS, PRESIDENTS HAVE UTILIZED NATIONAL CRISIS STATEMENTS MULTIPLE TIMES FOR ALLOTMENTS.

"THE MEASURE OF GASLIGHTING FROM INDIVIDUALS WHO ARE PROFESSING TO RESTRICT OUTSKIRT SECURITY

ON PROCEDURE WHEN THEY REALLY CONTRADICT FRINGE SECURITY ON STANDARD (YET WOULD PREFER NOT

TO LET IT OUT) IS AN INCREDIBLE SIGHT.

SINCE 2001, POTUS HAS UTILIZED CRISIS ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR ALLOTMENTS *18 TIMES.*" DAVIS TWEETED.

A FEW PRESERVATIONISTS OBJECTED TO TRUMP'S TURN.

THEY CONTENDED A FUTURE DEMOCRATIC PRESIDENT WOULD UTILIZE A SIMILAR POINT OF REFERENCE

TO SANCTION WEAPON CONTROL OR THE "GREEN NEW DEAL."

HOWEVER, TRUMP SUPPORTERS CONTEND BACK THAT IT'S PROFOUNDLY DUBIOUS DEMOCRATS WOULD ACKNOWLEDGE

BEING HINDERED BY CONGRESS AND WOULD HAVE UTILIZED EACH MEAN AVAILABLE TO THEM TO SANCTION

THEIR PLAN REGARDLESS OF WHETHER PRESIDENT TRUMP CHOSE NOT TO PRONOUNCE A NATIONAL CRISIS.

DO YOU BOLSTER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP ANNOUNCING A NATIONAL HIGHLY SENSITIVE SITUATION TO MANUFACTURE

A FRINGE DIVIDER?

TELL US YOUR CONSIDERATIONS IN THE REMARK SEGMENT.

2020 DEMOCRATS INSIST THEY ADORE ONE ANOTHER

AS MANY AS NINE DEMOCRATIC SENATORS WILL SOON BE JOSTLING FOR THE RIGHT TO TAKE ON PRESIDENT

DONALD TRUMP — A PRIMARY ELECTION THAT'S EXPECTED TO BE NASTY, BRUTISH AND LONG.

BUT IN THE EARLY DAYS OF THE CAMPAIGN, IT'S BEEN ALL SUNSHINE AND RAINBOWS INSIDE THE

SENATE DEMOCRATIC CAUCUS.

THE FLOCK OF PRESIDENTIAL HOPEFULS HAVE NOT SPARRED AT CAUCUS LUNCHES, ACCORDING TO MULTIPLE

SENATE DEMOCRATS, OR ATTACKED ONE ANOTHER IN THE PRESS.

TO THE CONTRARY, THEY'VE PORTRAYED ONE ANOTHER AS LONG-TIME FRIENDS ALL WORKING TOWARD THE

COMMON PURPOSE OF DEFEATING TRUMP.

COUNTDOWN TO 2020

THE RACE FOR 2020 STARTS NOW.

STAY IN THE KNOW.

FOLLOW OUR PRESIDENTIAL ELECTION COVERAGE.

"LOOK AT WHO'S RUNNING.

I DON'T SEE ANY OF MY COLLEAGUES WHO HAVE BEEN NASTY IN THE PAST," SAID SEN.

CORY BOOKER (D-N.Y.), WHO JUMPED INTO THE PRESIDENTIAL RACE EARLIER THIS MONTH AND IS

RUNNING ON A MESSAGE CALLING FOR MUTUAL KINDNESS AND RESPECT.

BOOKER HAD JUST PRAISED SEN.

AMY KLOBUCHAR (D-MINN.)

FOR HER PRESIDENTIAL LAUNCH IN WHITEOUT CONDITIONS IN A PRIVATE CONVERSATION.

HE ALSO RECENTLY EXCHANGED PLAYFUL TWEETS WITH SEN.

SHERROD BROWN (D-OHIO), WHO'S MAKING MOVES TOWARD A WHITE HOUSE RUN.

IT'S ANYONE'S GUESS WHETHER THE CHILL VIBE WILL LAST ONCE THE PRIMARY IS FULLY JOINED

AND THE COMPETITION FOR SUPPORT INTENSIFIES.

VOWS TO RUN POSITIVE ATTACK-FREE CAMPAIGNS OFTEN FALL BY THE WAYSIDE ONCE THE STAKES

GET REAL.

BUT IF THEY KEEP IT UP, IT WOULD DEFY EXPECTATIONS OF AN 18-MONTH SPECTACLE OF WORKPLACE AWKWARDNESS

AND HOSTILITY — AND OFFER A GLARING CONTRAST TO THE REPUBLICAN SLUGFEST IN 2016 BETWEEN

FOUR GOP SENATORS WHO RAN FOR PRESIDENT.

"WE'RE NICER PEOPLE.

I MEAN LOOK WHO THEY PRODUCED," BROWN — ONE OF A DOZEN SENATORS INTERVIEWED FOR THIS STORY,

INCLUDING FOUR ANNOUNCED 2020 CANDIDATES — SAID OF REPUBLICANS AND TRUMP.

"OF COURSE IT WILL STAY NICE, WHAT KIND OF ANSWER DO

YOU THINK I'M GOING TO GIVE YOU?"
