Before we even get to today's news, it was a long weekend, folks. It really was a long weekend. My kids woke me up at 3.45 in the morning on Saturday morning. I'll explain it in the things I hate.

1:47.3

3:08.0

would be less ridiculous than that opener. You would be wrong, my friends. President Trump is headed

3:12.2

over to Singapore for his meeting with Kim Jong-un, the human time bomb, a man who looks as though he was

3:18.6

built in the model of fat man and little boy. So he apparently is meeting with President Trump one-on-one, which is just the way you want this meeting to start. What you really want in a meeting between President Trump and Kim Jong-un, a dictator of a country and a guy who is most famous for not reading his morning briefings, is a one-on-one meeting. I listen, I think that President Trump is good at a great many things. I do not think that he is a great negotiator one-on-one with people armed with nuclear weapons. Just a hunch. I'm not sure that this is the way you want this being going. Now, maybe President Trump surprises us all. Maybe what's actually happening here is that Kim Jong-un, the dictator of North Korea, blew up his nuclear mountain. Maybe he destroyed his nuclear mountain, right? There's been talk about this. He has a nuclear mountain that was hollowed out so that he could actually do bomb tests in there, and he blew the thing up, apparently. So it's possible that he's now coming to the West and saying, guys, I'm ready to disarm because he disarmed himself by blowing up his nuclear mountain. And Trump is just the beneficiary of that. We're going to find out. But President Trump is meeting with him and it's not clear what the agenda is going to look like. So first of all,

4:33.8

I love this. But President Trump is meeting with him, and it's not clear what the agenda is going to look like. So first of all, I love this. Vice President Pence was asked about President Trump's preparations for all of this. And it's pretty spectacular. What he said at the Faith and Freedom Coalition is, quote, now comes the historic summit between the presidents of the United States and Chairman Kim of North Korea. As President Trump said this week, he approaches the summit with confidence.

4:36.4

The truth is, he's been preparing for this his whole life.

4:38.6

When?

4:42.2

Like, honestly, like, I just have to ask.

4:46.7

Was President Trump preparing for it when President Trump was, like, posing for the cover of Playboy?
