The video says (transcribed automatically):
And on, on your first question about North Korea I mean, the president has repeatedly said as he did in his first term you'll talk to anybody The president doesn't view talks doesn't view meeting with someone as a concession I know in traditional foreign policy meeting with someone or inviting someone to something is viewed as a concession that somehow legitimizes them I think the president's perspective is if North Korea and Kim Jong-un is prepared to talk with the United States about issues that are of concern to us and concern to our allies like South Korea he'd be open to doing it Nothing has been scheduled. I don't have anything to announce in regards to that today I think that the gist of it is what he has said publicly and repeatedly that, that he's prepared for such a meeting They had two such meetings in his first administration I think if something productive could come from such talks he'd be open to doing it again but we don't have any announcement on that Nothing's been scheduled in that regard

Findings may include language that is quoted rather than the speaker's own, and the model over-reads ceremonial language (tributes, anniversaries) as persuasion. Check each finding against the original.
