What BBN said about it

1. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorAnyway, back to a meeting nobody has confirmed: US and South Korean officials say there is little chance of Trump meeting Kim Jong Un this year.

2. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorReuters reports five people with knowledge of the situation say Washington has had no response from North Korea on a summit.

3. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorWith us is Leopold Szymanski, who bills four thousand dollars an hour. Leopold, why is a meeting unlikely?

4. LS

   Leopold SzymanskiBecause a meeting requires two parties who both want to attend. That sentence was nine hundred dollars, and I'm giving you a discount.

5. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSo is that a yes, it's unlikely?

6. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorSouth Korea's intelligence agency told lawmakers late last month there was a fifty percent chance at the APEC summit in Shenzhen.

7. LS

   Leopold SzymanskiFifty percent is a coin flip, Hank, and a coin has never once replied either.

8. LS

   Leopold SzymanskiThat insight is eleven hundred, and it's in my leather folder, already paid.

9. 

   Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorTrump said he gets along with Kim very well and he's not sure anybody's asking for a meeting. Is anybody asking?

10. LS

    Leopold SzymanskiNo, and here is why: asking is the step before answering.

11. LS

    Leopold SzymanskiKim's sister calls the relationship excellent, so the relationship is excellent and the phone is silent. That is fourteen hundred dollars.

12. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThanks, you've told me they haven't replied, and the whole sentence cost us two thousand dollars.

13. LS

    Leopold SzymanskiThree thousand four hundred, with the sigh.

14. 

    Hank Ledger · Lead AnchorThen I'll take the free version. They haven't called back, and I know that feeling.
