by beethoven's "ode to joy." the loser tried to dance her way to "i lov re rock 'n' roll." she couldn't have loved the numbers. he had briefly been a cabinet minister but had never been in politics. he came up with a 66/34 win that can only be called a landslide. he understood the anger of those who supported the right wing opponent but would work hard for them. but it's hard to see how malik le pen's position can be accommodated. by a factor of 2/1, they chose macron over

they vote with one and throw the other way. trash bags across france were full of rejected scraps of paper with marine le pen's name on them. macron's news is not all good. he now inherits all the problems that undermine the hollande presidency. she campaigned on protectionism and close border. he argued for a national igs tiis tick approach, and he won. >> thank you, mark. north korea arrested kim hak song on saturday. he's the second american

month. adriana diaz has the latest. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. at this point we don't know why he was arrested. he was doing agricultural development work there. this comes just two weeks after north korea detained his cog league tony kim for hostile acts as he tried to leave the country. the north continues to test ballistic missiles and the u.s. has beefed up its military in the region as a deterrent. two other americans are also known to be in custody. last year otto warmbier was arrested and american is also served ten years for alleged

espionage. the u.s. state department is working with the swedish embassy because they have no ties there. >> former secretary of state condoleezza rice is with us now. she served as adviser for george w. bush and then became female secretary of state. good morning. >> good morning. >> we'll talk about your book, but first about populism. people worried about populism are cheering in france but you're worried that the debate has changed in terms of nationalism, protectionism and ore news. >> obviously it's good news for france. macron is at center. no one who believed in globalization or centralism would have wanted le pen

the interest and sentiments that brought power to some places and have made them stronger than they've ever been, the issues have to be dealt with. they feel they're not being served. >> you say they're changing the character of politics. >> because what you're seeing is even centrist candidates are responding to the populist vote. who talks about free trade? who's willing to talk in favor of immigrants these days? i think we can see even centrist candidates are shifting their tones in response to the populist. so you have to deal with the root causes and that's where we're going to have to go. >> i want to get to news of the day, north korea as well. what do you think they're trying to accomplish by detaining anot

>> far be it for me to figure out kim jong-un. clearly they're trying to send a message, they're powerful, they're strong, they can make the united states suv erring and this is not a situation that any president can tolerate. something has to be done. >> shouldn't tolerate but president trump said he'd be honored to meet him and calls him a smart cookie. >> he is a smart cookie. let's be clear. he knows what he's doing. look. the president of the united states can't meet with kim jong-il. there may come a day. having north korea would be the way. >> that's right. they have to change their calculation. right now they seem moreri

about it and doing parts to the regime than about a nuclear north korea. i think that's what the administration is trying to do, change the calculus so they see if they don't deal with north korea, they will. >> you said the trump government has in its national security a group of very smart people. >> yes. >> what worried you about the trump government? >> this is an outstanding team, all of them, and that is very comforti comforting. this is a president who's never been in government. i think it's taking time. it's hard. not as easy as it looks. >> it is hard. >> it is hard. >> secondly, the president's words matter, and i think you're starting to see the reaction -- he's reacting to the presidency. for instance, in syria, when an american president sees syrian babies choke on gas and american presidents saying i can't let that stand. no matter what they said when they were a

they're president. they say something different. i'm starting to see that evening lugs. >> sally yates is testifying before the senate committee. what are the key questions that need to be asked of her today? >> obviously, we oar all waiting to hear what she has to say and far be it for me to ask the kwen. there can only be one president at a team and it's not unusual to meade them when you're in transition. that's not wrong at all. i did as well for george w. bush. you can't discuss policy or change policy. >> we'll see you in our 8:30 hour. >> yes. >> don't go anywhere. >> we'll talk abouter

stability and now we achieve neither. >> how are we doing? you're telling us storying now. >> yes. well, as with anything worth doing, it's hard and the jury is out for a very long time, but we receive some successes and we receive some reverses. and one of the things i wanted to do with the boog is to challenge those who say democracy is in recession or democracy is going backward to remember that this is a very long road and that there will be setbacks, but for every turkey with erdogan or every egypt where the arab spring has given way to a military coup, you have a colombia, which has rescued itself from the early state with america's help. you have ken qaa that despite

along a more or less democratic path and i want to remind people also that our own history is one of a very, very long road to freedoming an-mile-an-hour dons substitution where my ancestors were once counted as three-fifth of man, where my father couldn't vote reliably in 1952 in blame. now we've had a black president, i've been secretary of state, colin powell has been secretary of state. sometimes we lose sight of the big picture. >> you call slavery america's birth defect, which i think is a very poetic way to describe it. i've never heard it described that way. >> a birth defect is something that's something with you but also something you can overcome. i think in this case we see that this birth defect of slavery colors the way we look at 50e67 other. we're not a colorblind society. we probably never will be. sometimes it causes us to look at each other with suspicion and

that's at the root of any number of problems including issues of policing that we've been concerned with. so i like to describe it in that way, but i like to remind people every day we get up and we try to make this imperfect democracy a little bit better. try to include more people and that's america's story. >> let me ask you. in this book, you write, americans seem to be experiencing a kind of crisis of confidence about our own democracy, who we are and what we value. that's true under president trump? >> we've seen further a long time. americans are losing confidence many the institution and no institution in america today is really fully trusted and since as i write in this book, democracy is always at that nice edge between chaos and authoritarianism. democracy is the sweet spot where we channel our cons

institutions. >> if you were in favor of democracy, what do you as an inspiration do? >> that's the question and it raises questions of sovereignty and other issues. >> sovereignty should never be a defense for tierney and mistreating of people. first off, you pay attention for us. i'm a big believer americans have to be strong at home. americans have to feel confident. but we have learned, i think, the hard way that when we don't champion the rights of people, bad things happen. so no one is unhappy these days. germany and. pap wants to challenge those violent in their region and are now -- >> people are unhappy about egypt, for example. >> yes. but egypt under mubarak -- one of the things we want to do is when we have friends, of course, we're going to have to talk to the egypt

just think if mubarak had reformed, maybe there wouldn't be a revolution. >> you say you felt sorry for him. >> i felt bad because i met him in 1992. he was deputy mayor of st. petersburg who was standing at this very fancy party and he was standing all alone in the corner. >> you describe him as pale and short. >> but piercing eyes. >> do you see him playing a role in our country? >> i see him as an authoritarian, somebody who's engaged in trying to sub verb democracy in other countries and someone who undoubtedly interfered with our election. he's an eye for an eye kind of guy. we said in 2011 his election was fraudulent, he's saying yours

let's not give him the satisfaction that he's caused americans to doubt the legitimacy of our own american prophesy. that would give him the win. >> thank you. her book goes on sale tomorrow. the hbo hit shoppe "veep" is the most accurate washington-based show. it's hilarious. act eo eor reid scott who plays fictional anchor

but it happened by mistake, did it not? >> a little bit. it was a joke from last season where dan my character sleeps with amy's sister because when she tells them that she works at cvs the pharmacy, he thinks it's cbs. he said, are youing to work the night shift. i thought, great. >> you play such a jerk. i use jerk because we can't use the "a" word. what made you think you could play that? >> my friend jan houston who's a crafting director in new york, she was handling the show and called me up about seven years ago. she said i've got this great part opposite julia louis-dreyfus. it's tricky because he's got to be a jerk but he's got

likeable. >> she didn't use the word "jerk." >> no. >> any research for your anchor perso persona? >> i did a little bit. one of the unique things about our shoerks it's not ripped from the headlines. no one is is up potioned to sup in particular or copy the show. >> you watched our show? >> oh, yeah. i walked in, day one, the set is remarkable. >> graphics, everything. everything. >> this is a satire. >> is it? it might be a documentary. >> it might be. it's a comedy. in terms of -- what are you trying to say about morning television? >> oh, man. one of the fun things we discussed in early days of "veep," it's a workplace comedy. it could be any industry. it was making life of --

>> that was "mary tyler moore." >> exactly. now it's sort of funny, we've sort of staying away from it until now. the obvious connection between politics and the world of broadcast journalism -- >> there was a very good show on hbo called "newsroom." >> oh, yeah. i loved that too. what's interesting is the democrats think you're talking about them. the republicans think you're talk about them. >> that's right. >> what happens when you go out in the world? >> it's great. we got invited to the white house correspondents' dinner. we got incredible access to paem on the hill. >> cameo rolessome. >> they all want cameo role. i remember the former governor of maryland wanted on. >> because he was returning for president. >> i think he considered it. he wanted to come on and look coolful we said no one looks cool oven our

>> yeah. the people we have met, the republicans say, oh, it's so refreshing to see a show go after the democrats and the democrats will say, keep sticking it to the republicans. >> you remember a long time ago there was a show ""laugh-in,"" and richard nixon went on and was laughed at. richard ales' idea was to soften him up. >> tell us theest to win over your co-anchor jay mk kay. >> first of all margaret cohen replaced her. it's no small feat. we have a weird process. we're all bizarre maniacs and she democrat a great job jumping in. it's been fun. he's a climber and a cad and a womanizer and i think he looks at this as a potential for

>> he said i haven't slept with a women over 30 since i was 14 because i needed a grade. he's a cad. the writing is so good. so spontaneous and off the cuff. do you rehearse a lot? >> we do, which is unusual for a television show. from our early days we'd get scripts fork ur five episodes in advance, which never happens in tv. and we would be requested in london. our original show, the writers were british. the writers would go and rewrite the scripts with our improv and so through this distillation process it gave it a natural feel. it's been fun. >> it may have been a mistake starting with cbs. it gives us such a kick to watch. you're fun to watch. >> great. i'm glad. >> ahead, how a pearl harbor
