so there are a lot of issues my worry is that kim jong il and the north koreans are very disciplined i've been go shared with them they're very relentless they don't think like we do it's not a quid pro quo that they think everything they do is correct and it comes from the day at a from the cult of personality so i think we've got to be very careful and prepared and have a plan and have the secretary of state lead with the department of defense i don't know who's going to be negotiating with the negotiator for north korea retired tillerson is out. you know there's talk about replacements on the national security team rumors so i think need to get in order a team to negotiate i understand the according to negotiate as i've talked to you have to have three meetings you can't have the top two leaders be the first meeting is that true yeah i think it makes sense for

a pre meeting to take place between it could be the national security advisor the department of defense or somebody the president appoints a special negotiator to set the meeting so it's a success so it isn't just a meeting where both leaders are shooting from the hip so yeah there and that's what i worry about the president said well we're going to meet in may before may well you know that sixty days away we don't have a secretary of state i think it's important if it's the laid thirty days fine but do it right and have some pretty meetings so that it isn't just the two leaders having it out when we don't have an agenda we don't have a strategy we don't have a point. as. what they're going to ask for is one they want the end of the korean war or the armistice agreement to

disappear because that's a state of war two they're going to want our withdrawal from south korea our military troops we're not going to do that but you know maybe there's a compromise there third there want to they're going to want an end to sanctions the sanctions have been biting them and this is where i think china has played a more positive role than in the past although china could do more they're also going to want something in return if they put a curb if we put a curb on their nuclear and missile activities. so it's going to be a long ago she asian larry president clinton negotiated an agreement north korea stop their nuclear development they started cheating after eight years but in return from china the u.s. japan south korea we gave them economic assistance energy support nuclear reactors so i don't think the north koreans are going to shy away from

asking for something in return villages and as always thanks for your time today. thank you larry all the best to you thank you you too bill well more politicking right after the break.

this baby and. this one much eighteenth vote with your remote to zante for special coverage of the russian presidential election exit polls opinions real time results monitoring and much more. of the back to politicking donald trump made his first visit as president to california this week first in a san diego area to look at prototypes of his four polls border wall and l.a. for a fundraiser this is washington d.c. and much of the world was left stunned by the at rupp firing of secretary of state rex tillerson and what that means for america's foreign affairs lots of areas to

cover with our next guest jank ugur host of online news and political commentary. show the young turks founder and c.e.o. of the t. y. t. network he joins me here on set before anything else. you said for the democrats to prevail in twenty eighteen you have to come together the moderates and the progressive scan be divided for you to be successful do you agree largely disagree with i'm going to when i go is go outside stays on no no no not about staying home the part i agree is once you get past the primaries of course you unite and so i had a progressive candidate on from the just democrats who lost her special election arizona. then a lot of just democrats won in texas but anyway brando aspergers she said i said what do you do next and she said i'm going to go help the other democrat because we can't have a republican in that district but during the primaries i do not want to unite with

corporate democrats i want to defeat them and so i and whatever they say unite they mean bow your head and just support my candidate to that i say hell no but if you do you know i did unite in two thousand and sixteen after primaries did the burn yes and there's people go out for hillary ok first of all the answer is largely and overwhelmingly yes if you look at the stats on how they voted they voted for hillary clinton as bernie sanders told them to do now secondly it is not bernie sanders a sponsibility although he did a wonderful job in pushing for it was hillary clinton's responsibility so i wish the corporate democrats would realize that they are terrible at elections and they should actually let progress is run bernie sanders would have almost certainly one instead they blew the race to this monster. ok as discussed some things donald trump said the state of california is begging us to build walls in certain areas

also said the state's sanctuary policies are illegal unconstitutional and are sent to national security for the make of that. guy's a bloviating idiot so he says the mexicans are incredible mountain climbers based on what he does not a spell marine corps so he's going to come in here and lecture california california has got no interest and he said california is totally unsafe because of our policies they want to do it here he should get out we got no interest in this guy they he's deeply unpopular here we don't need him or stupid wall. but if the trip went without any hiccups i kind of like i said he he insulted the whole race again for the twenty eighth time now apparently there mountain climbers and some are criminals and rapists and and then he comes in and he said bragging about how he saw into the troops does not his fellow marine corps could larry imagine if a democratic president had been there in court if he spelled

a c o r e instead of see you oh r p the marine corps because he doesn't know he's an idiot he ran through airy that's how he spelled it because he first of all he's a chickenhawk he when from vietnam he said his own personal vietnam was avoiding as c.d.'s at orgies this guy is a loser through and through and so for when he comes and talks about how he's pro troops he just embarrasses them so he's a fraud in every imaginable way other than that you're crazy about. ok what do you make of the firing of rex tillerson. so i have any theory on larry and it's a theory that i laid out before he was fired so five days before he was fired i said on the young turks tillerson is going to go quote very soon now what. i base that on not on their disagreements on north korea or iran or any of the other things

they're making up right now no exxon canceled their deal with roast nafta the biggest russian oil company that's a half a trillion dollar deal that's the whole point of rex tillerson being secretary of state why else is this random c.e.o. of exxon mobil who has no diplomatic history no government history the secretary of state because russia one of that deal with exxon the revenues from that deal would have equaled nine trillion dollars last week exxon said this sanctions are in place there's nothing we can do about it all price of dropped anyway we're cancelling the deal with russia and i went on the program and i said rex tillerson is on borrowed time he's gone he hopes to make that deal he was supposed to make that deal happen and so apparently russia gave marching orders to trump to fire tillerson and they did it is stunning i'm telling you right now that the back channel to russia is not just something erik prince set up in the seashells islands in the past it's alive and well right now and that's why tillerson was fired and if i said that after he

got fired you might have say i don't know about that i said it before he got fired i said this is why he's going to go remake of tom teo. right wing sycophant for donald trump. so he's going to continue the he continued to. all the wrong policies the cia now that person is going to replace him at the cia as a well known torture broke the law several times right now the europeans actually are working on a rest warrant on her so it would be amazing if our cia director went to germany and prosecutors handcuffed her which is entirely possible now so it's pompei going to do it the state department whatever trump tells them to do he's been kissing trump the whole lying what russia tells trump to do exactly so now pompei will look forward to taking his orders from why is autumn or. never hard on russia do you think because he has a deal with them and he's been money laundering for them for decades they have the

dirt on him both on the money laundering on whatever tapes that he's so worried are going to come out by the way why did he do the deal with stormy daniels when you just deny it because he denies every other thing oh i didn't sexually harass her i didn't say she is i strongly deny it so why did he pay stormy daniels because she has text and pictures so the thing he's afraid of is pictures and videos so i don't know what putin has but i'm so he i don't know if you have pictures or video that's speculation of any but i go he did the money lar any pictures and videos would be when he was the owner of the trump organization married to millennia but not in public office he had sex with someone what does that mean he's worried about how he looks he's an egomaniac he has tiny hands he doesn't want the video coming out that's what this is about rand paul said he will oppose pompei oh you think that will go anywhere. i hope it does look that's bipartisanship i hope rand paul and democrats can get together and block pompei oh i would say even more importantly

block the new cia director. where the young turks on the midterms you got any candidate oh yeah we're all over them interest first of all we're doing primary coverage so we did texas and that was super exciting we're the only ones doing primary coverage nationwide literally we've got illinois coming up next week who's going to win is going to be pretty sure is going to be daniel best for the governorship we've got a bunch of just democrats in illinois those are the progressive candidates that don't take corporate pac money there were seven of them in texas three one out right two went to the run offs two lost and the whole time we were on the edge of our seat so these just democrats this fifty two candidates none of them take corporate pac money and the they got the democrats the corporate democrats running scared so these these midterms are going to be gigantic if those uncorrupted candidates win it sets the table for two thousand and twenty one when you talk

about a midterm i guess if we will back john kennedy would be. a middle american democrat humphrey who who was the mainstream democrats you don't think nancy pelosi is liberal no no no so what way is she not so larry it isn't so much about any particular issue as it is about. this systemic problems in democratic party so when you asked nancy pelosi why should you be the leader of the democrats in the house she says because i raise the most money now in the old system they was the only thing she's no no that is literally what she said she said i raise the most amount of money and i get it to the my fellow democrats and that's the most important thing and and and reality to actual progress in the country what that says is i am the most corrupt i am the ones i'm the one willing to go to the rich and the corporations and tell them what do you need because the democratic

party will deliver it for you instead of the voters where in her voting would you back that up with. barely challenge bush the entire time the bush was in charge barely laid a glove on how much of a glove are the democrats laying on trump now what are they doing there do you regulating wall street today so schumer and those are going to have the majority no but they've got twelve democrats who are co-sponsoring the republican bill to rip apart dodd frank and whatever little financial regulation there was on the bankers so why are they co-sponsor that enough to do that they do it because their donors look larry ninety three percent of americans think that the politicians represent their donors and not their voters and their right so that's why not taking corporate pac money is the most important thing you can do because if you keep taking that money you going to keep representing those guys barney frank told us once on the young turks he said what you want to do. i think now the banker money into the twenty percent at least will have some money to compete with no but if you

think about it dancers of course don't take the banker money because if they're republicans or taking eighty percent of your taking twenty percent that means you're consigned to be a loser for the rest of time they're out raising you four to one yes now you've agreed to the corruption but you've agreed to be the loser in that corruption is now on the other side you know the major factors in the republican party that don't like mainstream republicans should we have four parties at american. no what we should do is get the money out of politics so we can do that constitutional amendment wolf back dot com so that's a group that's working on a constitutional amendment and we're going to get it and we're going to go above the supreme court every generation is going the constitutional amendment and we got to get that one because larry if you get it out then you have honest republicans and honest democrats and we'll get back to actually fighting over the issues instead of trying to figure out how to do fake arguments kabuki theater and at the

end of the day the corporations win no matter what for example you said about nancy pelosi what is she now liberal on medicare for all she won't do it she says it's not time dianne feinstein says not time to advise and i love you but you're eighty four i don't really love you you're eighty four years old you've been in politics fifty years what is going to be time when you're ninety four one hundred four no they don't they're never going to do medicare for all you know she said no to medicare for all feinstein did in the town hall then went a week later and raised money from health insurance companies that's who she works for that's who palosi works for that's why they're never going to give americans universal coverage who would you like to be your candidate in two thousand and twenty this is going to be really difficult bernie sanders is the in the world is going to run again it appears so i don't have any inside information with it from the outside he's in iowa he's got a book coming out and he's got every trapping of a person running for president he's the presumptive nominee he's the most popular politician in the country i think joe biden may be more popular and certainly i

think i thought you obama's the most well of the active politicians when they do polling bernie sanders comes in number one but joe biden is close joe biden's a fundamentally decent person sure is he's just a little off on the policies and i think bernie's going to go bolder he's going to go more progressive and he's going to win easily thanks jank right if you say the lawyers love having you drink you girl. thank you and thank you for joining me on this edition of politicking remember you can join the conversation on my facebook page or tweet me of kings things and don't forget to use the politicking hash tag that's all for this edition of politicking.

her. about your sudden passing i've only just learned you worry yourself and taken your last bank turned. up to you as we all knew it would i tell you i'm sorry

but only i could so i write these last words in hopes to put to rest these things that i never got off my chest. i remember when we first met my life turned on each fret. but then my feeling started to change you talked about war like it was again still some are fond of you those that didn't like to question our r. . and i secretly promised to never be like it said one does not leave a funeral the same as one enters the mind gets consumed with death this one differs i speak to now because there are no other takers. claim that mainstream media has met its maker. the firing of rex tillerson at the state department surprised a few tillerson was often described as bland and on numerous occasions out of step with his boss donald trump the nomination of my comp a.o.

to replace him is anything but planning. this hour's headlines stories on our t.v. more than twelve fellows and leave syria. in the largest exodus since militants took control of the area. in the program russian. response some of the talking points being used by britain. to accuse the kremlin the poisoning former spy surrogate and his daughter demanding the u.k. provide real evidence. with russia's presidential election fast approaching. international media covering the campaign and if we apply the same rigorous standards they would in their home countries.

come to our t. international we will get to those headline stories in just a moment but the russian foreign minister is a news briefing in kazakstan where he held talks on syria with his turkish and iranian counterparts among other issues let's listen in. as for your question. about the discrimination they are still active not permanent. implementation once already extended. discolorations. want to see once it expires we will make a decision regarding their extension. based on the situation on the ground of course or would like to see. the

party violates the ceasefire. and it's also very important for contacts to be established between groups to improve the living situation and the situation. just. with the civilians these girls. will need to be there in the world as for the expansion of the territory of discolorations and creating new discussion zones these things we have not discussed. slid if you're both next question you can know that for us to channel t.r.t. that. this one don't. you put a question to the weight of the question what first question was addressed to all the three foreign ministers is there anything you would like to add.

a. little. bit ok. if you lived through a political news of course come to the conclusion that this question was asked. was directed on little me. but it's good to look i'm not there for with next question could turn on t.n.t. i took the plane from the plane social norms are clear all if i'm going to public you if you live in. the question from a turkish general regarding. you don't want to talk about it what steps. can't waiting waiting for other countries to take with regards to eastern ghouta. to push up

a much closer. to care for either side. not just in. them but also. started in israel in other territories to the east of euphrates and. we have very very. concerned with this situation this. question and that is in place. in the region. we don't want civilians to die this is why. we believe this is such a sensitive issue as for what's happening in this. we do not wish to see that. someone under the pretense of fighting terrorism kills innocent civilian people regardless of. of the ideology of the groups that is attacking civilians whether it's. a

friend or al qaeda or whatever. we need to eliminate them but. i miss you but in order to eliminate the terrorists wanted to use different strategies that would also protect civilians. was the question you can do when you're almost like them we need to have an effective strategy. to george distinction between the civilians and the terrorists we can't just. wait. until terrorist organizations on their own volution just exits or escape from a certain region. because wherever they are they are present threats to us this is why we have to be especially sensitive when dealing with this issue

and when the issue of eliminating terrorists. from russia today. but i have a question to mr levitt of. mr lowell. and. just yesterday twelve thousand people were freed things to the russian reconciliation stand. but. i have a question why is the u.n. not present in this process. and i you. personally. satisfied with the role of the u.n. in geneva and in the whole peace process. well that's for. i've already provided statistics this is correct twelve thousand people have left.

and the process continues i have just been i have just received a call from moscow. about this specific issue there isn't there is a problem civilians are trying to escape the region the militants are trying to prevent that from happening. there is a work that is done there to. to achieve the results that we want to see. could well. the problem. there is humanitarian aid. that is directed towards this so more people are suffering and together with the u.n. and the international red cross or we have directed to humanitarian convoy of

four of one hundred forty tons of humanitarian aid into this area and there are some concerns about security and some other issues to be resolved but we believe that the international community needs to be more of. more effective. in providing humanitarian aid. you know the problem is with the people who leave. because they need to be housed somewhere they need to live somewhere we have a lack of basic broader acts and basic needs to be provided to them and we call upon the international community and the u.n. who always speak about how they want to help the civilians to actually help the

people who are escaping and fleeing from these areas. held by terrorists in syria that's what the role of the u.n. in the geneva process and the formation of because additional commission. i wouldn't want to make any hasty the assessments. just a month and a half past couple of months have passed since the syrian national congress and sochi of course the un needs to play the leading role in the process but this should also be done in agreement with the three get into states and the un basing its decision on this syrian national dialogue congress needs to make its decision decisions that would be very inclusive and include all the groups present. and to taking part of the political process in syria we have discussed

this issue with our soda friends. when they have presented their initiative to create the. they have presented their mission to of to. combine the area the moscow and other groups. i know that. to be more effective so maybe it will take some time to start the consideration all. this is the decisive phase of the political process because once the congress. the syrian national congress is accept by all the parties as a legitimate process only then will be able to move forward and as stated in the un any agreements can only be.
