committee. things seem to be back on track. the appointment of mike conaway while nunes recused himself will take the scrutiny off the committee caused by nunes and interactions with the white house. i think we're back on track. we have witness lists. both parties put together a witness list. >> cyprsig cyprus? is that about paul manafort? >> the remarkable thing -- yes, it is partly about paul manafort. cyprus and cypriot banks keep coming up in the context of the administration's people. including folks that are not talked about within the russia investigation like the commerce secretary. on the board of the bank at cyprus. i think mike went over because cyprus keeps coming up in the

investigation. >> congress member, thank you. >> thank you for our viewers. for the viewers in the united states, "new day" continues right now. >> this is cnn breaking news. >> welcome to n"new day." alisyn is off. poppy harlow joins us. vice president mike pence warning not to test the u.s. in the visit to the demilitarized zone, he came face-to-face with soldiers who took pictures of him as he looked at the border. dana bash has the interview with the veep at the dmz. mr. pence's visit comes days after the north korean missile test failed, but the show of force has military analysts trying to figure out what kim jong un's next arsenal and next move may be. are the u.s. and north korea on

the collision course day 88 of the trump presidency. we have it covered for you with dana bash in seoul, south korea. dana. >> reporter: poppy, it is one thing for any policy making and politician and world leader to talk about a threat or ongoing issue that affects the u.s. and allies. it is another thing to see it and feel it and hear it face-to-face and that is what the vice president did. as you mentioned, he went to the dmz. he went probably a little further than security wanted him to go in going outside and seeing for himself what the north korean side of the dmz looked like and the north korean soldiers saw him and started taking pictures which is par for the course. they like to do that when they see vips and document it and

talk to the vice president afterwards and get his thoughts and his new stance from the administration. take a listen. >> mr. vice president. i was watching you watch what was behind you early. what was going through your mind looking at north korea? >> this is a frontier of freedom. now for more than six decades, u.s. forces and forces of south korea have held the line for freedom here at the dmz. it's inspiring for me to see the resolve of the soldiers and see the alliance we have forged with the people of south korea throughout the generations and it gives me great confidence as we go into the future that we will achieve our objective of a secure and prosperous south korea. we will see a korean peninsula free of nuclear weapons. >> you see the era of patience

is over. what does that mean? real terms? >> it was the policy of the united states of america during prior administrations practice what they called strategic patience. hope to marshal international support to bring an end to the nuclear ambitions and ballistic missile program of north korea. that clearly has failed and the advent of nuclear weapons testing and development of a nuclear program and even this weekend to see another attempt at a ballistic missile launch. all confirms the fact that strategic patience has failed. >> what does it mean to end it in practical terms? it is use military force or find a diplomatic solution that has alluded all of your presentdecer predecessors. >> i think it is clear. we will abandon the strategic

patience. we will double efforts to bring economic and finance the efforts to bring this to a peaceful resolve. i know the president was heartened with the discussion was president xi. >> you know, this is real for you. you know there are estimates that north korea could have a missile ready that could hit the continental u.s., seattle, by 2020, which is going to be on your watch. is that weighing on you and is that a deadline that you all have in mind? >> i know the president of the united states has no higher priority than the safety and security of the american people. the presence of u.s. forces here in south korea and our longstanding commitment to the asian pacific and ensuring the

security of the continental united states remains a priority of the administration. we want to be clear. our hope and prayer is that by marshaling the resources of nations across the asian pacific, not just south korea and japan. other allies as well as china to bring renewed pressure to bear will achieve our goal of a nuclear free korean peninsula. the people in north korea should make no mistake that the united states of america and our allies will see to the security of this region and see to the security of the people of our country. >> i know we're running late. i have to ask about your dad. i heard you say that general brooks gave you some information about his service here. he was awarded the bronze star. what did you learn and how does it feel to be here in an area that is still at war effectively.

armistice. >> it is very meaningful for me and my family to be here so manies yeamany years after my father's service. to be honest, by dad did not talk about his combat service until we were all grown up. it was a lot of tough fighting. he spent time on pork chop hill and mt. baldy. the general and his team were kind enough to share information about the battles with us. i think in some ways, my dad might be smiling from heaven to see that the sacrifices that he and other american soldiers and south korean soldiers made here now passed on to my generation has not changed our commitment to the security and prosperity of the people of south korea. the sacrifices that he made and that generation of americans made made this an extraordinary success of south korea possible. for me, it's deeply meaningful

to be here and maybe in some small way to continue that generation's work and make it clear to the world that america stands with south korea to preserve freedom on the korean peninsula and to bring stability and security to the asian pacific. >> reporter: now there at the dmz, the vice president was clearly trying to put more of an emphasis on the diplomatic solution. a few hours later, he was standing next to the acting president of south korea with a prepared speech much more robust and muscular when it comes to potential military action. he cited the fact that the president acted militarily in syria and in afghanistan and said that the north koreans should be careful effectively to not test the resolve of this president given that and also he said they have to be careful not to test the strength of the

armed forces of the united states. chris. >> it seemed to be more about hard power than soft power. an important interview at the right time. dana bash. thank you very much. that's the vice president. president trump's national security advisor h.r. mcmaster also sounding like he was practicing brinkmanship. is this an option on the table? is china a diplomatic option? that is the talk out of the white house. cnn's athena jones live from there this morning. athena. >> reporter: good morning, chris. that is one of the key questions. will china do more? president trump has been quite vocal on twitter and otherwise about his desire for china to step up and put pressure on north korea to rein in the nuclear ambition. china is north korea's main trading partner. even china may not have the

magic bullet here. what is clear from the perspective of the national security team is that some sort of action is going to be necessary. here is national security adviser h.r. mcmaster. >> i think it is really the consensus with the president and allies in the region. japan and south korea in particular. also the chinese leadership. that this problem is coming to a head. it is time for us to undertake all actions we can short of military option to try to resolve this peacefully. >> reporter: so you heard mcmaster talking about undertaking all actions short of the military option. it is interesting to see the president take to twitter on sunday morning to talk about u.s. military prowess. he tweeted our military is building and rapidly becoming stronger than ever before. you have a lot of tough rhetoric on both sides. how the regime is ready for war

in north korea and the president boosting on the military strength. a lot of eyes will be on what comes from the vice president's trip to the region this week. poppy. >> we should note, an thiee ath president is leading the same military that obama was leading. thank you very much. athena jones at the would you say. u.s. military experts analyzing hel these images from the military parade over the weekend from north korea. what does this suggest about pyongyang's nuclear abilities? we have barbara starr at the pentagon. barbara? >> poppy, good morning. let's start by saying the pentagon absolutely behind the notion of a diplomatic solution to this entire situation even as they are behind diplomacy.

they are looking at every frame of the parade in pyongyang and looking at a set of large, giant missile canisters that went rolling by. canisters large enough to hold potentially an intercontinental ballistic missile that could strike united states some day if north korea really has such a missi missile. we don't know at this point. that would be bigger than anything they have at this point. they have huge challenges in guidance and targeting. they are displaying this canist canister. maybe their message back to the united states. a suggestion they could have a missile like that some day. s also displaying more intermediate range missiles. could strike south korea. could strike japan. missiles, if they launched those, that the u.s. is committed to defend allies against. as all of this is going on, u.s. intelligence watching minute by minute to see if north korea

conducts another, a sixth, underground nuclear test. >> barbara, thank you. let's bring in gordon chang. he is also a columnist for the daily beast. we have chris cillizza and dana bash. once again joining from us south korea. she is the only television correspondent traveling with the vice president in seoul. gordon, your observation has two matters. we have not seen it before. it is a window into the mystery of the abilities. the second is the feeling that the white house is rolling the dice. this is more talk than tactic? >> i don't think they had time to come up with a strategy. to deal with north korea, you are not dealing with north korea. you have to deal with iran, pakistan and china.

when you have discussions with china of north korea, you have predatory trade practices and south china sea. it is a complicated issue. i don't think they had the time to develop it yet. i think they are trying to look and see china is the key. they are putting pressure on china. i think that is what happened at mar-a-lago. i think xi jinping was standing right next to donald trump. that was a message and as we heard from vice president pence, it was intended for north korea. >> dan a after tha, after that you got with the vice president, he spoke in stronger language at the joint pressor. >> in the past two weeks, the world witnessed the strength and resolve of our president in actions taken in syria and afghanistan. north korea would do well not to test his resolve or the strength of the armed forces of the

united states in this region. >> dana, that moment in your interview when you said they have the abilities and many believe that by 2020 they could launch a miss that will could reach the united states. the stare he gave you and the moment of silence spoke volumes. >> reporter: i wasn't sure what that was about. whether he thought does she know something i should know or does she know something she is shouldn't know or i'm not sure how to answer this given maybe the politics going on in his head. the bottom line is that it was a pregnant pause and telling regardless if any ofs those scenarios were true. it is a very real and you heard from gordon and barbara. it is a real southern thconcern is the place that the united states should be focusing on and trying to figure outs because it

really is a strategic threat. a legitimate strategic threat to the united states. we understand that on his way out, one of the things that president obama said to then incoming president trump was you have to focus on north korea. you have to find a way to do what he, president obama couldn't do and what president bush couldn't do and what president clinton couldn't do before him. when we saw the north koreans test its first nuclear missile. this is something that has been vexing administrations of the past quarter century of both parties. time is up. that was where i was going with that question. >> chris, as a naked political play, talking tough works. it has for trump. there seems to be a definite shift to foreign matters from domestic matters. we know there are a lot of

issues on the burners for the white house. there seems to be intentional on these. from the political playbook, is this talk tough? hope china works? hope nothing happens? is that the extent? >> i think that his belief and him being donald trump, his belief broadly speaking is what you do in these situations is and virtually every situation, you put your chest out. you say here is what you do and you beat your chest and see what happens and react to that. remember, donald trump, i come back to two things. the things he always talks about. flexibility and uncertainty. two sides of the similar coin. those are the things he prizes most. the uncertainty piece clearly is at work here. pence sending a strong signal. we saw in afghanistan last week the syria response a week before. you had three things where donald trump has done something.

i'm not sure everyone thought he would do when he got elected into office. i think he values that. i think in his view, to gordon's point, i don't think there is a broad strategy here. i think the strategy is let's talk tough and put our chest out and see what happens. let's see if we can shake things up. if that shakes anything loose and react to that. that seems to be how he operates in everything. i would put foreign policy in that category. >> gordon, doesn't the president have more here with china than his predecessors have? he is willing to hold these trade deals hostage in a sense. he is willing to dangle them over the chinese. he did it on twitter this weekend. he is saying the u.s. will take a worse trade deal with china. we'll give a bit on that if you help us with north korea. he is willing to do something with china and get them to play ball more than predecessors before.

>> he suggested that. s also administration officials are talking about something else. that is imposing financial sanctions on chinese banks and institutions. we have been finding out the china role from the federal reserve bank of new york and bang bangladesh. the chinese certainly don't want that because that can tank their economy. trump has the leverage, but he has to have political will to use it. so far, no american president has been willing to pull the trigger on the ballistic missile program or nuclear weapons program and other elicit commerce. >> dana, we were talking about the pause that pence had with you. who knows what it means. you have been around him more than i have to be sure. this is different than puffing out the chest as chris referred to. you puff out the chest with the

freedom caucus. they go with you or they don't. these are inconsequential in terms of existential outcome. did you get a read from the vice president this is different than normal politics? if this goes sideways, it can have serious implications in mid term elections? >> no question. mike pence is not a chest puffer. i guess he is by extension by the fact he is president trump's vice president. it is not in his natural dna. how he tends to operate. in this particular issue on this foreign policy issue because the trump administration had this warning and understands north korea has been a threat. they actually did a two-month review of the policy and of the situation inside the national security council which shouldn't

be that surprising if this was a normal situation. given the fact that this administration is still trying to get its sea legs almost 100 days in and missing a lot of state department ands elsewhere personnel. the fact they put so much focus on this one area and country tells you they are really trying hard not to wing it when it comes to the nuclear threat. >> all right. appreciate it. thank you very much. you got the vice president issuing what you can only call a stern warning to north korea. you have the white house national security adviser saying the same kind of thing. is this brinkmanship pushing to the edge in the hope that something positive will come as a result? the gop lawmaker makes the case to you next.

vice president mike pence in asia today with a clear message. diplomacy is preferred.

military force could be used against north korea. the white house national security advisor h.r. mcmaster saying basically the same thing. there is a plan? joining me now is sean duffy of wisconsin. birth and renewal, my friend. >> hi, chris. >> do you agree with the words? tonight te don't test us or else? >> president obama has been unsuccessful with the march on ballistic missiles. it is appropriate that the trump administration take a second look at the past strategy. what hasn't worked and push the envelope. if north korea has ballistic

missile with nuclear warheads, that endangers the united states of america. you push china to engage and push north korea they disassemble is the an appropriate strategy. this is the right approach. i think trump sitting back and doing nothing is a mistake. this engagement and change of course is the right approach. >> i hear you. it is a little bit of a mixed message trying to understand the clarity of purpose. soft power diplomacy. use your leverage. china. deal with iran and afghanistan. do something. this is something more than that, congress member, if you test us, look at syria. look what we did in afghanistan. don't do it. mcmaster saying it's coming to a head. that doesn't be sound like soft power. that sounds like a potential

promise of hard power. military power. would you agree with that move of a preemptive strike? >> i think this is an all of the above strategy. we will try all tools we have at our disposal to make sure we disassemble north korea in a sense that is not a threat to the united states of america. you never want to limit yourself. if you look at what president obama did. not engaging with the rest of the world of strategy of leading from behind. the strategy of travel around the world and bow to world leaders. trump was elected to be tough on economics here at home and tough globally to make sure we don't have the rogue nations, whether north korea or isis or iran walking all over us. trump is unpredictable. that's a good thing when you are trying to navigate and negotiate a deal. i think this approach is right. i guess time will tell.

i would say, chris, do we want to get into a nuclear -- not nuclear, but military conflict with north korea? can those things unravel quickly? absolutely. we should proceed with caution. again, you don't take anything off the table. >> the idea of why trump was brought to power. you make a good point. for most people, the pressure was domestic. change the economy. change the political culture. do something for me and my family. this does seem to be an interesting pivot away from that. the recent spate of foreign involvement. some see it as political distraction. how do you see it? >> i think president trump is trying to keep promises. he is looking at the economy back home whether meeting with business leaders or union leaders. he also told us he would build up the military and bomb the nono snot, he used a different term,

isis. you look at what is happening. president trump is keeping promises. this is a strategy of putting america first. whether you have isis and threat to america or north korea and nuclear weapons and intercontinental ballistic missiles. all of those are risks to our country. his engagement is keeping america more safe than sitting back and say we will take what the world will bring us and then no, we will engage and i will keep america safe. >> 88 days in. you have to be fair in the short period of the relative presidency. the outcomes of keeping the promises is what he social security measus measured on. one of the things is set a different tone of disclosure. transparency. he said he would. ever since the tax pledge, it has gone side ways. you have protests about the

taxes. the issues are real. not wanting to give out the white house guest log. that is a transparency issue. why does trump fight these measures? >> chris, you and i disagreed on a number of things on your show over the past several months. this is one point we agree on. i think transparency in government matters. i think president trump as i stated during the campaign should disclose tax records. the logs of who comes into the white house, that should be public knowledge. why should we be afraid to disclose that to the american people? i think it casts a cloud over what is going on at the white house when we want transparency. i think the president whether you paid little in tax or a lot in tax, i think you are better off laying out the tax record. i was clear whether it was hillary clinton's e-mails or trump's taxes. transparency for the american people with the president is key. listen, i think the president in this regard has fallen short.

>> you certainly know more about hillary clinton's e-mails than trump's taxes. he seems to agree with you. in 2012, he tweeted at president obama. saying why waste all this money fighting and putting out the white house guest records. you should put them out. he argued about transparency. we will see. congress member, thank you for joining us after easter. you have a final point? >> i would say when you don't disclose the tax records or the white house logs, it distracts from the real mission of the economy or keeping the border safe or engagement globally with isis or north korea. these are all issues that matter to the american people, but talk about that. not why you are hiding logs or tax records. that is distracting from the real issues. >> thank you, congress member duffy. >> chris, thank you. is the white house truly a family affair? who has the president's ear? how much influence does the

trump family really have? we will debate that next. we are here...to leave a mark. experience a shift in the natural order. experience amazing. gave us the power to turn this enemy into an ally? microsoft and its partners are using smart traps to capture mosquitoes and sequence their dna to fight disease. there are over 100 million pieces of dna in every sample. with the microsoft cloud, we can analyze the data faster than ever before. if we can detect new viruses before they spread, we may someday prevent outbreaks before they begin. won't replace the full value of your totaled new car. the guy says you picked the wrong insurance plan. no, i picked the wrong insurance company. with liberty mutual new car replacement™, you won't have to worry about replacing your car

all right. if you look at it since the

beginning of when donald trump, the citizen, became candidate and now president. it was a solo act. then it was bannon is the ban. now it is blood is thicker than water. jared kushner is the inside track to the president's fate. who has his ear? if anyone? joining us now is commentator and host of "smerconish" mierchl smerconish. and we have chris with us. who does he look to most for counsel? >> he has a large universe. i say he is a feedback junkie. i saw him this weekend. he is doing that with friends and associates. he is using media channels to get information and absorb what people are thinking.

it is a myth, chris, to think a family member can influence or make decision for him. he will take input because of proximity. at the end of the day, donald trump makes the decision himself. that has been my experience. >> so michael smerconish, is this much to do about nothing? "snl" had the skit this weekend. so many say this is the fall of ban i don't knnon and rise of k rise of gary cohn. listening to chris, it sounds like none of that is true. >> in this white house, there are different spheres around him and have competing views around the president is not new. the objectives are different. you have the family tier. you have the bannon tier. you have the priebus tier. i don't know they are all headed in the same direction. i think the family members are unique in having his best

interest at heart woithout ideologically tethered. bannon has objectives to himself. reince priebus seems to be more of the establishment type. whether they can all co- exists remains to be seen. >> i agree with michael. i think you are on target. i think we are seeing the moderate wing represented by jared kushner, the son-in-law, is rising and will probably dominant now. i'm not sure steve bannon is being criticized very heavily. i'm not sure they will haves as much influence going into the congressional elections. >> what does that mean if that is true? that's how trump got to the white house. that base. that bannon new better than anybody else. that is why he is so essential. how does he hold on to the

people that got him there? >> the polling data the shows the president has held that strongly. 90% of his base still supports him. where he is showing weakness is on independents. i think there is a feeling among people at the white house they have to moderate a little bit and less controversial. as michael says and you said, chris, you really risk losing the base. i think the president has wiggle room. i think the base is willing to give him more slack than they may give another person in the oval office. i think we're going to see it is all about results. remember this. with donald trump, it doesn't matter what you see or the twitter or controversy that flutters around. it is will he bring jobs and get things done and clean the place up. if he does those things, he will win re-election. >> it is interesting, michael. looking at 2020 and what sounds like admission at least from

what chris is pointing to or acknowledgment by the team, the trump team, they have to win it differently than this time around. maybe it isn't the bannon the man to win in 2020. where does gary cohn fit in all this? i find him to be the fascinating character. a former goldman sachs guy. he said in the meetings, i'm not a republican. i'm not a democrats. i like getting things done. he has given money to democrats and republicans. what does the rise of gary cohn mean? >> it represents pragmatism. we spent time on this last week and last wednesday in particular. favorable comments of janet yellen. china. not a currency manipulator. people said look at the flip flops of the president. i never bought in to two

corinthians. i thought he was placating a base he needed. this is the donald trump. the compromiser in chief i thought he might be. it is early. we are not even at day 100. i think gary cohn is more of a reflection of where the president's mind is on any given issue than steve bannon. >>s chris, do you see a reality where bannon is not in the white house? >> so hard for me to predict. really the president makes that decision. it is possible. the president has a very taut threshold of people. >> only bannon can hurt him on the outside. jared kushner. i know he is his son-in-law. he is not a political player. bannon, on the outside is a dangerous man to president trump. >> well, i would disagree with

that. i haven't seen him being a problem for the president. in the past, the president has praised bannon and reince priebus and jared. look, if he thinks the results are not there, even jared will be watched. everybody will have a performance mechanism. i see jobs as number one right now. i see gary as an established wall street guy. the president will judge him by results. >> gentlemen, thank you very much. nice to have you both. coming up, it is called the super bowl of white house social events. that's the take. we are talking about the annual easter egg roll. it is today. how will it be different as you look at the live picture s of te white house as they get ready. we will take you there live next.

one person completely at random. they need to warn the public in erie, pennsylvania, be alert. >> and remember, he said that he had killed some 15 other people that of course has not been corroborated by the police. that's assuming he still have his cell phone that he didn't throw it in the back of a flatbed truck. >> that's probably his means of communication. he's able to recharge that phone inside of this vehicle that he's traveling in. i think with the technology that is out there, to what tom just alluded to, it has become a matter of time. it is urgency this gentleman is located and brought to justice because his unpredictable behavior in and around his disturbed mind is just beyond belief. he has to be taken off the street right away.

>> how will they use that facebook post? frankly it gives them more evidence than they have in a case like this, this early on. >> that's true but i think they're not worried about the prosecution aspect this point. >> in terms of finding him. >> in terms of finding him the facebook will be as critical other than, i don't know, other than who are the other people in communication with him over the last weeks or months on facebook, his contacts, colleagues, co-workers. at this point the technology is going to really kick in. first we have the cell phone pings and when you drive down the street and go through traffic cameras, if he took the ohio turnpike he would have had his license and car read by a number of cameras en route to erie, pennsylvania, if in fact it's him. if he goes into a convenience grocery store to get a sandwich or something or coffee, they have cameras.

if someone alerts authorities police can look at video cameras and see if it looks like him. we saw that in the boston marathon on today, patriots day, they were able to use the cameras at the gas station where the bombers went to, at the convenience store where they went to. all of that technology out there will in time help the police pinpoint him if as we're assuming and it's a big if, he still has that phone and that car. >> the police were calling on him to turn himself in. what spells someone like this to do that? >> if you mean he acted to turn themselves in, there's nothing at this point to suggest he's even headed in that direction. he hasn't as far as we know reached out to any family and friends and suggested he wanted to turn himself in.

now that could conclude that way. it could conclude more dramatically. >> gentlemen, thank you both very much. we'll get an update from the police in about an hour. we are getting a lot of news coming in this morning, let's get right to. good morning, welcome to your "new day." alyson is off, poppy harlow joins me. breaking news from the korean peninsula. vice president mike pence warning north korea, the era of strategic patience is over. do not test the president's resolve. look at syria, and afghanistan, for examples of what could happen. >> the vice president making an unannounced visit to the dmz after the north korean regime displayed their missiles during a national celebration over the weekend. military experts now analyzing images of that arsenal, what can

be learned? it is day 88 of the trump presidency. dana bash is live in seoul, south korea, with an exclusive interview with the vice president. what struck you most in speaking with vice president pence? >> well first, obviously the location. we were at the dmz. it was the vice president's first time there. the first time in this young administration that either the vice president or the president has been there. there have been lower ranking cabinet officials, but the fact that this visit happened right now when things are so incredibly tense and that the vice president went out, looked out across at the dmz, saw north korean soldiers who were taking pictures of him, that was one of the first questions i asked him, wanted to ask him, what was that like?
