BRIAN KILMEADE (CO-HOST): South Korea and North Korea are already talking about finally ending the war. When we ceased the violence in 1953, we never signed an armistice, and they didn't. So he said more power to you, go ahead and do it, which is pretty extraordinary. One of the places they're thinking about is Hanoi, Vietnam to do it. Another place is --

AINSLEY EARHARDT (CO-HOST): A neutral ground.

KILMEADE: Yeah -- the capital of Mongolia.

STEVE DOOCY (CO-HOST): Right. They're talking about five different locations, none in the United States. The last time anybody at that level went to North Korea was Madeleine Albright back in 2000. Mr. Pompeo went there to make sure they could smooth out any differences, and just to look Kim Jong-Un in the eye and say, “OK, you're serious about this, right?” And apparently he said, “Yep,” and that's why they're going to proceed. 

KILMEADE: Right. And that's why the CIA director would be a great secretary of state. He is now at the forefront of these negotiations. Hopefully they'll get that vote and get him passed and confirmed next week.

DOOCY: Well, just tell [Sen.] Rand Paul [(R-KY)]. That's one of the problems.

KILMEADE: I know.
