3:01 pm
president was having with japan's prime minister at mar-a-lago last night. can u.s. policy contain north korea, or will it continue with its provocations and defines? we want to welcome you to a brand-new are america's news headquarters. north korea dictator raining in asia but the president has a message of its own saying that america will stand with japan. >> the trump administration is weighing its -- we have fox team coverage on all of this. garrett kenney standing by with reactions on capitol hill. on north korea's the latest rattling. we begin with with kristin fisher. she is in palm beach florida as the president wraps up a busy
3:02 pm
weekend. >> president trump is on his way back to washington. he left mar-a-lago about an hour ago after a weekend weekend of golf and great conversation, that's how the white house is characterizing it with japan's a prime minister. next week president trump is set to meet with tumor world leaders, the prime minister of canada and the prime minister of australia. now back to d.c. he is facing several key questions as he enters his fourth week in office. what is he going to do about more north korea? while he respond to that missile launch? what about the national security adviser, michael flynn who is seen boarding air force one quest mark will he be suspended for possibly discussing sanctions with russian investor? what is he going to do about the immigration order? on friday, the president that he he is considering signing an entirely new executive order on immigration to counter what
3:03 pm
happened with a controversial first order that struck down in court. here's that she policy advisor, stephen miller from the sunday. >> the three judges made abroad, overreaching statement about the ability to check the executive power and did not even address what i was talking about, which is ina 212 asked -- the power of the president to exclude aliens in the national interest. >> as for what's next, miller miller says all possible options are still on the table. >> thank you so much for that update in lovely palm beach florida. >> meanwhile they predicted that north korea could potentially have the capability to hit us here in the u.s. the nuclear missile in three years has continued its nuclear and ballistic missile testing on a beta. what will be the next move from the u.s. and our strategy #just of as an portly,
3:04 pm
how about china? we're joined a live from washington with more. >> north korea's president has been very open about his goal to develop a nuclear missile capable of hitting the united states. yesterday's launch is simply the latest step in achieving that goal. the timing of it is notable as well. it came nearly 24 hours 24 hours after president trump, and japan's prime minister held a joint press conference at the white house, where where they urged north korea to abandon its nuclear ballistic missile program. and not to take any further actions. in the last euro loan, north korea has attempted 24 missile launches into nuclear tests. last night, the head of south korea's joint chiefs of staff says this latest test says north korea's president is a fanatically obsessed with achieving his goal. even if it comes that the cost of his people. >> we sternly warned that if the kim jungle regime does not give up its missile operatives the north korean regime will destroy
3:05 pm
itself in the near future. >> north korea continues to move full steam ahead on its program despite heavy sanctions on the insecurity counsel for its test. that is why the u.s. has been pushing china, one of the north's few allies few allies to amp up the pressure on north korea. here's chuck schumer today on cbs's, face the nation. >> like us so many many other areas, china has been woefully inadequate. they could squeeze north korea, economically, 90% of the import and exports go through china. i think we have to tell the chinese that they have to put the wooded to north korea at a much more serious a way that they have done so far. >> it's important to note that just a few weeks ago defense secretary james madison visited south korea on its first official trip abroad. while he was there, he announced plans to boost the share defenses there against north korea. >> thank you so much for more on this we go to asia, he is here
3:06 pm
with us with the author of nuclear showdown, north korea takes on the world. are we past the point of shrugging this off of north korea wanted to get attention and into the headlines? or is there something more underlying concern at play? >> there is a number of concerns, within three years or four years, north korea will be able to make a nuclear weapon to launch and hit anywhere in the lower 48 states. they are ready have missiles that can get here. it's just that the camp at the new ghana. the thing that concerns me is that you have iran, north korea today tested a missile, january 29 the iranians tested a missile. we need to start asking these questions about what is going on here. especially because both north korea and iran have a common sponsor and benefactor, and that is china. >> you mentioned the timeframe
3:07 pm
that perhaps north korea could finally get the materials needed to put the new kids on the missiles. that that timeframe could come within the trump administration. what is it president trump needs to do now to circumvent what could be an unstoppable deadly crisis? >> every policy that his predecessors have applied have failed. we can see that because north korea is making great progress, not only on its nukes but long range watchers. we have to put pressure on china. that means imposing sanctions on chinese banks. that will shock the global markets but it will show beijing that we're serious about her own defense. we have not done that until now. we have just heard them talking about putting the wood to north korea, china will not do that until we put the wood on beijing. >> i do you think trump administration will do that? >> before the inauguration their hands that they are word thinking of sanctions on china. we saw last friday there is some
3:08 pm
sanctions on companies. i don't know if they have the political will to do this. in order to have the sanctions on china you have to have all elements of the u.s. government working together because it's going to be a big test of wills. we know on thursday night trump gave up on the policy. >> but everybody wants something what does china run. >> i think they want to bedevil us. every time they do something provocative we sent our secretary of state to beijing and plead for chinese. so the chinese have concessions from us. also a north korea does two things, keeps us away from doing things in asia that we need to do. it's sort of diverse us. the south china sea, helping in the himalayas, east china sea,
3:09 pm
there is a bunch of things such honestly. also, the other thing of course is trade which a trump is very concerned about. chinese trade violations have gotten worse in the last two or three years, not better. these are things that we would normally pay attention to, except north korea diverts a. >> what is the wrong iran want? >> i think they want missile the nukes. they have had this joint relationship or long time. they paid two and a half half - $3 billion a year for all sorts of the stuff. all of these things that iran is getting from north korea are especially dangerous. >> what does north korea want? >> i think north korea wants a deterrent. they want security. they also they also want to be able to use their weapons, not in the sense of firing them off because that would be disaster for them. but to extract concessions from the international community, especially south especially south korea and the united states, as well as japan. the north koreans are small destitute country but they think they are in the catbird seat because over the course of
3:10 pm
decades they have always beaten us. >> the way understand you saying is that it seems like china is the linchpin here. if china can use north korea to do something that china would not want to do because of the relationship with america on paper and perspective worldwide, they can have north korea do their dirty work. >> absolutely. it is not only north korea, it is i ran into a to a lesser extent, pakistan. you have these proxies of doing beijing's work and beijing says it is not us. but we now have the support from north korea to china. china has been selling missile material and processed uranium,
3:11 pm
they have been selling launchers for their long-range missiles. all sorts of things for north korea's army. we don't say anything about it and that is our fault. >> so you say president trump has got to get serious and he has to do it soon on china. >> absolutely. we only have a few years be for the north koreans will be able to new gus. >> will watch this and have you back. we appreciate your analysis. >> thank you gordon. back at home the promise to fix the veterans administration. tomorrow we can expect a full senate vote on david churkin's administration is the new secretary of veterans affairs. he will lead an agency that suffered a series of scandals including healthcare delivery to our vets. we are joined in los angeles with more on what we can expect. >> back in 2014 you will remember dozens of veterans a dyed in part due to a lack of care at the phoenix virginia. a few years later the past they gave them their worst possible rating of federal investigators just determined that they still struggle with significant weight time. we sat down with the director and asked her on a scale of 1 - 10 where that facility is right now.
3:12 pm
>> well, all of us would want it to be a ten if the scale is from 1 - 10. about we are not there. >> where are you realistically right now? >> i will not give that number, only because we have a lot of work to do still. >> they say they're making significant progress in but veterans that disagree. at that question if she is even the right person to lee. she ran the st. louis mba from 2009 - 2013 and during that time there's a number of problems including having to notify 1800 veterans they may notify 1800 veterans they may have been exposed to hepatitis and hiv. >> i was furious why there was not someone who do not have these problems in his or her background to be the director, arguably since it was the beginning of that huge scandal why they cannot find somebody who did not have that past.
3:13 pm
>> senator john mccain says he is supporting the confirmation. she is a nelson reporter. one of the original phoenix whistleblowers said veterans will demand accountability and transparency from her department. it is a privilege to be a virginia employer and not a right. we need to civil service and the virginia is not went to change. we need congress to help with that. >> she said they are removing red tape as one of the biggest priorities. >> veterans certainly deserve the best. >> that is for sure. a united airlines flight is delayed for nearly two hours now for weather, this happening after passengers say the the pilot went on a bizarre rant over the plains intercom. have you heard about this? russia -- nsa whistleblower
3:14 pm
daniel snowden. a legal panel is here. and what snowden will likely face after being charged as a traitor to a nation. just listen to what then presidential candidate donald trump had to say about snowden one year ago. >> let me just asked the question about snowden, i will tell you right from the beginning, i said he was a spy. and we should should get him back. if russia respected our country they would send him back immediately. he was a spy. >> it to not take me long time to figure that one out. believe me. with the united mileageplus explorer card, you'll get a free checked bag, 2 united club passes... priority boarding... and 50,000 bonus miles. everything you need for an unforgettable vacation. the united mileageplus explorer card. imagine where it will take you.

>> a pilot removed from the united airlines flight after witnesses say she went out to a on a rant. partly political over the plains intercom. passengers are shocked and what they were hearing was a very unsettling for them. causing some to be frightened in fact. brian's brian's life here with more and new york.
3:19 pm
i cannot imagine what those passengers were feeling at the time. >> that's right. imagine you have just boarded a flight when your pilot has a meltdown. uses the intercom to go on an epic rant before she is forcibly removed from the flight. that is what that is what happened to passengers on united flight 455 saturday before took out from austin, texas to san francisco. according to passengers, the airline pilot standing in front of the entire cabin wearing civilian clothing asked for a show of hands on whether she should change into uniform. then she got into politics explaining that she did not vote for either hillary clinton or donald trump because they are both liars and things i cannot say on tv. then she began ranting about her divorce, things things went downhill fast. according to a passenger who began tweeting to american airlines to get a new pilot fast. passengers got off the plane who did not feel say. a new pilot was brought in and two hours later the flight took off
3:20 pm
and landed. listen to some passenger. >> she was not in the right state of mind. >> we were little if afraid having someone who is somewhat unstable flying the plane. >> she was then tina mentioned her divorce. >> she started out by saying she had not voted for either trump or clinton because they are are a bunch of liars. so that's an odd way to start off the welcome to your flight. but, it just really sort of went downhill from there. it did not make a lot of sense to any of us. >> the united airlines say we held our guidelines to the highest standards. we we apologize for our customers for the inconvenience. you know people are allowed to have their breakdowns and we certainly was wish the best or her. when you are pilot with lives on board you can understand how this can be a scary situation. >> very much so. thank you very much. >> a major courtroom battle involving edward snowden could be in the works. the former national security agency contractor remains held
3:21 pm
up in russia after he leaked a ton of classified documents, but could potentially he could land back on u.s. soil. moscow reportedly considering returning him to the us, the spec elation being that type of move would potentially gain favor with presidential. snowden would face espionage charges but he said he heads nothing to fear. he tweeted, i don't know if the rumors are true, know if the rumors are true, i can tell you this. i am not afraid. there are things that must be said, no matter the consequence. before he was a presidential candidate, president trump called snowden a traitor traitor who deserves to pay the ultimate price. listen to these comments from 2013 on fox and friends. >> spies in the old days used to be executed. now nobody knows where he is. we have to get him back and get it back fast. it could take years, could take months or maybe years, that would be pathetic. this guy's a bad guy. you guy. you know, there's still a thing called execution.
3:22 pm
you have to take a strong -- you have thousands of people with access to material like this. we won't have a country any longer. >> so what will snowden face and what will trial be like if he is returned? trial attorney rachel and a defense attorney is a member member of the republican lawyers association. welcome. the kremlin has so far denied this but they say where there's smoke there could be fired. what would it take to put edward snowden on trial? >> first of all there it have to be a strong reason for russia to turn over edward snowden. also, you have to remember this is not just about what edward snowden did in terms of taking classified information and sharing it with the world. this will put the united states on trial in reference to looking how we take data, civilian data,
3:23 pm
cell phone information and how we use that how we spy on our allies. that will be on trial. that is what the defense will offer up in terms of edward snowden. they'll say he is a whistleblower. he's not a spy or a terrace. he showed the light to how the intelligence agents are spying. >> but others are saying he is a traitor. you heard what the president said that he has done so you have a fancy defense lawyer in court is that a valid of defense. >> you don't need a fancy defense lawyer waving stuff around. we have a constitution. the constitution involves due process for everyone no matter how guilty they look, no matter how guilty they are to be, is still entitled to a trial. i think the prosecution will have a very easy time proving the case. the tough thing for mr. snowden is that he is charged under the espionage act of 1917 which is like a giant club.
3:24 pm
typically the justice system can be utilized in more of a scalpel like way. this is a giant club that can come down on someone very hard. there is no wiggle room. >> like what? how is this different than others have a criminal status? >> the reason it's different is because when it was enacted it was originally enacted to prosecute spies who sold their secrets to other governments. that is not the case here. what we have have here somebody that released information to the public under claimed interest in the public good. so, the espionage act does not allow for certain defenses. he cannot say well, i release this because i was whistleblowing. it is not a defense. so actually the constitutionality of charging the american public with espionage act under 1917 crime has not been taken up by the supreme court yet. it it is definitely an issue that needs
3:25 pm
to be addressed. the espionage act was not intended for citizens. >> you know that means? the defense attorney and what they will do potentially is a challenge the espionage act. >> absolutely they have to move to remove the espionage act as a charge. what they do have them on is going to be taking classified documents without authorization. they have him right there. but as i said before this is not going to be a trial about him be a traitor, it is meant to be about a trial of nsa spying on the american citizens and also spying on the neighbors. this is how the defense is going to distract from that. what he did, that is not going to look very good for trump administration. that is something they will have to deal with whether or not they have to curtail the spying on american citizens are not. >> what you think the chances are this actually happened? i think it's lame. >> it detracts from the message on jobs and the economy.
3:26 pm
if he thrust it back into the limelight what are we going to talk about in terms of the president's current agenda as we know which is the immigration ban and the supreme court issued quest mark i don't think the trumpet menstruation wants to focus on snowden at this time. >> the legal process maybe doesn't have anything to do with politics or the public view at this point he is considered a hero in russia. at this point we have no concrete support that this is actually happening. ultimately if he winds up in the legal system will take over and he'll be prosecuted in the eastern district of virginia trevor chaney. it it has a history of being very successful. his attorney is going to want to
3:27 pm
work out some sort of deal that does not involve xp and emjoi that he can effectuate. >> and finally he faces up to 30 years. why 30 years? others got death. more recently someone got life. someone who cooperated with soviet union and russia, 15, 15 life sentences area yet snowden would be hit with 30. how come come the on balance? >> i think we are slowly moving away. it's a good thing we're slowly moving away from in force in the penalty in this country. i think that is one of the reasons why he is facing this. you're dealing with a situation where it's not clear, and i appreciate what people think about him.
3:28 pm
it's not clear that he was a spy against our country and sold her secrets to the government. >> we don't have information that is a russian spy. if we did then you would probably see the life sentences. executing a spy in this country you would have to do something really bad. it hasn't happened since 1953. >> the authority certainly say that he has done something very bad. others have called him a hero for exposing what he did. we'll see how it plays out and if it doesn't court. thank you. >> from cabinet picks to supreme court nominees, democrats are putting up a fight. president trumping courage eating senate republicans to go nuclear to get his choice of the high court. with all the tough talk is there any room for common ground? >> will is a lot longer than eight years. i would say --
3:29 pm

3:33 pm
>> you cannot block when the fouts take place. that's what the republic and later decides. all we can do is to use the time allotted to us to make our points. we are not blocking these. >> that was ben cardin appearing on fox news sunday. denied allegation that his party is holding up confirmations. key positions on mr. trump's team remain empty. last week vice president pence had to break a tie to confirm betsy devos. this week the senate will her he confirmation votes for three more positions. we are are just entering the battle over the supreme pick court pick.
3:34 pm
>> host of jamie weinstein show is with us. what i want to do first is look up a graphic of filings posted to the ethics website which shows that 18 of the designees completed filing with oge and facing linda mcmahon nominated for administrator but the bulk of these posted these five or ten days after inauguration day which was the lead time to review those the submissions. could the democrats say that they are actually slow walking which is what they are accused of.
3:35 pm
either way, people want action. they do not want gridlock. are the democrats walking a fine line with the delays? >> they can blame it on that and perhaps they have some saving grace to blame it on the delay. the reality is there base is demanding they do something to slow down president trumps nomination. they cannot do something to stop him. senator cardin was right. they cannot stop president trumps nomination from being confirmed. they don't have the power specially after the rule from 2013 and did the filibuster. these people are going filibuster. these people are going to get confirmed one way or or another. democrats feel that in order to plan dirt to their base, they have to show that they're doing something. that is is trying to slow these nominations anyway they can. and as senate rules allow, single single senator can demand to 30 hour debate on any cabinet nominee. they they are employing that to grade effect which is why donald trump's nominees are taking much longer to get confirmed in previous president.
3:36 pm
>> like you said, you're talking about their constituents. both sides are looking towards november 6, 2018, midterm elections. all of the house seats will be contested as well as 33 senate seats, plus, plus you have 39 governor races that day. given the public outrage that is on the display these days, do lawmakers on both sides need to adjust their playbooks question work people do not want elected officials to just shuffle papers to make its reelection. >> i think have to be careful. the senators who come from states that donald trump won this election cycle and are up in 2018, those democrats, i think there are about ten of them. they have to be more careful than some of the others in the democratic coalition and senate. the need to make sure they don't alienate supporters .
3:37 pm
the other senators, especially those who want to win the democratic nomination for president and want to run in 2020, they probably have every incentive to do whatever they can to show that they are standing up to donald trump who is not popular with the democratic base right now. so, right now. so, there different incentives that work and we are seeing why a lot of these holdups are taking place with president trumps nominees what you think will happen this week? expecting more delays? >> i think we'll i think we'll see some confirmed but continued delays. we'll see it again when judge neil grosuch comes up for a vote. as many delays as possible from getting him confirmed in the court as he will. the democrats are powerless to stop his confirmation of the court. if they try to filibuster the republicans will bring out the nuclear option making it only 51 votes necessary to confirm him. so, at this point the democrats are powerless to stop donald trump's nominees. all they can do is delay. they have certain incentives and senators who come from liberal states to delay to canter to their base.
3:38 pm
>> so, here we go again. we. we are going to see more gridlock and maybe some of the lawmakers have more fuel and wind beneath their wings from their constituents and others have not. in general with all of those variables on the table, how do you see this playing out in the next four or eight years? >> it is a downward spiral. things keep becoming more acrimonious. i have have no doubt that have the democrats been in control last year, merrick garland would be on the supreme court today. they would have them play the nuclear option. now that the situation is reversed you will see everyone reverse their argument. the democrats are going to say no, don't employ the nuclear
3:39 pm
option, that's not how we work and the republicans are going to sate look what you did to the cabinet appointments in 2013, you remove the filibuster there. what would make us not do it for the supreme court pick for judge neil grosuch. so everyone will have situational -- it is a downward spiral. i don't see where it ends at this point or how it and. >> not a good forecast. that is the way say. you are probably spot on. thank you jamie. >> the israeli prime minister on his way to washington, gearing up for a meeting with the president. he told mr. trump that when it comes to peace, the palestinians the palestinians will not budge. who will? dennis ross who worked for peace for decades, is up next and what we can expect your brokerage fees. fees? what did you have in mind? i don't know. $6.95 per trade? uhhh-

try laxatives. been there, done that. my chronic constipation keeps coming back. i know. tell me something i don't know. vo: linzess works differently from laxatives. linzess treats adults with ibs with constipation or chronic constipation. it can help relieve your belly pain, and lets you have more frequent and complete bowel movements that are easier to pass. do not give linzess to children under six and it should not be given to children six to seventeen. it may harm them. don't take linzess if you have a bowel blockage. get immediate help if you develop unusual or severe stomach pain, especially with bloody or black stools. the most common side effect is diarrhea sometimes severe. if it's severe stop taking linzess and call your doctor right away. other side effects include gas, stomach-area pain and swelling. talk to your doctor about managing your symptoms proactively with linzess.
3:44 pm
>> is really prime minister is getting ready to visit the white house this week. he will meet with president trump. he says he will present quotes at reasonable policies, suggesting less aggressive stance on his nation's building. the sediments on the west bank. the prime minister looking to restart relations after years of friction with the obama administration. what can we expect? will the two leaders see eye to eye on the peace process? joining us now as ambassador dennis ross with fox news of foreign affairs and the author of the book, "doom to succeed" it is -- >> what you see is the prime minister's message that he would bring to the white house on wednesday? i think is most important message is about iran.
3:45 pm
that's his main strategic preoccupation. i think he wants to talk to the president of how to do with the nuclear deal. it's not so much he will get rid of the dealer walkway from it, but i think what he is focused on is the endpoint. the fact is, after 15 years according years according to that deal the iranians get billed as large of a nuclear for structure as want in terms of size and quality. prime ministers break concern is that without some kind of extension to that, without ensuring that there is not a sunset provision for this that deal lapses, he worries that the world is legitimizing iran having a nuclear capability. i think that is going to be his main preoccupation but how to counter what the relationship with russia might be he does not
3:46 pm
want iran and the revolutionary guard a new front. strategically i think that will be the main preoccupation. i think there'll be a discussion on the pieces issue in the settlement issue. the prime minister is under a lot of ways under pressure from his own right wing. he can use president trump as someone who can provide some cover, some protection for him as it relates to that. >> so he can use president trump against the jewish home party. in talking about middle east peace and you spent decades trying to achieve that, we hear their is a new up approach is it really question like that is corralling allies these outside in approach instead of relying on peace and everyone else comes
3:47 pm
along this is the opposite. can you describe that and is that different and why could that potentially succeed now if it could at all? >> first of all, it is, it is true that it is not new from the standpoint that we have looked at this before and thought about trying to use the arabs before the palestinians. the arabs could somehow help the palestinians. the argument we got historically is that we cannot reach out to the israelis until they have some of the palestinian issue. >> was different now is israel and the key arab states have shared threat perceptions of iran and isis, they are cooperating below the radar's in ways we have never seen before. now, that, that has created a sense of may be given that that maybe the arab states can do something and leave the way to the palestinian issue. i think there's a a certain logic to it. the certain the reason you have that is that most arab leaders are defensive against ties to
3:48 pm
israel and they'll be defensive against their own public. so long as the palestinian does not show itself moving in a favorable direction. i do think there is a value of thinking of this in no small part because they're too weak to do things on their own. because the israeli public doesn't believe that if they make concessions with the palestinians they get anything. so there is is value in having an arab cover but then i will ask at the israelis do something at the same time. >> we have seen at the same time a bit of a pullback on this by the settlements from tel aviv to jerusalem. finally the president son-in-law put in place he has an unbelievably unique history because he's slept in his bedroom. that's true in his and they
3:49 pm
stayed in the house. what advice knowing that relationship would you have ? i think the key is that if you are going to be in any ongoing in the middle east you have to have authority. you have to have that given the closeness to the president. the main advice i would have is do not pursue big diplomatic initiatives in public where you raise expectations. prepare the ground privately and see what can be agreed to a private. with the arabs and the israelis. ask what they would need to make big moves from that. what would they need from the arabs to make certain moves to the palestinians to orchestrate all that in private before you do anything in public. >> by the way he was a teenager when the prime minister was a visiting in new jersey so jerred had to sleep in the basement that night. thank you so much and thank you for your service.
