On Monday Steyn joined Tucker Carlson live across America. He was there to discuss G7 fallout, but the Trump and Kim limousines started moving early so the topic was switched to the impending and most unusual summit in Singapore. Click below to watch:
Mark will be back on air for some post-summit analysis with John Oakley this Wednesday on 640 Global News Radio Toronto.
Two days later, on Friday night, he'll be live on stage in Toronto to accept the Justice Centre for Constitutional Freedoms' very first George Jonas Freedom Award.
We are very gratified by all those first-month Founding Members from The Mark Steyn Club who've decided to sign up for another year - and we hope second-month members will feel the same as June proceeds. On the other hand, if you were waiting a year or so to see if we were in it for the long haul, we do welcome new members, and you can find more details about the Club here - and about our inaugural Steyn Club Cruise here. Or, if you're looking for a present for a Steyn fan, don't forget our limited-time Gift Membership.
Wow. Wow. Wow. Just watched this week's Coumo interview with Dennis Rodman. Rodman actually broke down in tears describing how many years - over five - he's worked to connect with North Korea and Kim Jung Un and how open he found Kim was to changing the situation and he described how when he came back to the States with this message, Obama brushed him off. Rodman was targeted with all sorts of vile abuse, insults and threats for saying North Korea wasn't what it was being made out to be. To witness this historic summit really happen with Donald Trump and Kim jung Un and the treaty signed, he couldn't keep the tears back. No wonder the White House just publically thanked Rodman. He actually had been working on reconciliation for years, and it was from the heart, not for personal gain. It's true, Rodman didn't get the thougthful anaylsis or serious reception his efforts deserved.
Can't wait for the North Korean files to be opened. The narrative from the media and the government has been so different than what we're witnessing. There must be all sorts of incriminating information, because some people aren't happy at all. Never, ever, ever saw a head of state personally lugging a bulging messengers bag to meet another head of state. Hand-delivered.. what?
Thought it was very fishy when during the first of the primary presidential debates the candidates were asked what they would do if three minutes into being sworn in, they got the panic alert that there was an incoming missle from NK. What a weird set-up question. Every other candidate wanted to project tough and attack! but everyone blinked at Trump when he replied that his policy was to be busy connecting and negotiating so that wouldn't happen in the first place. His response was the outlier and it was made to look odd instead of wise. Go back and watch the debate, then consider the greatest achievement for peace in 60 years represented by the ceremony this week.
