very close who interact regularly with the north korean leader kim jong-un, the head of his state security departmentganization and guidance department and the department of propaganda and agitation. which by the way his sister kim yo-jong works for. sanctioning these individuals doesn't have that big of an impact overall since there are so many sanctions already in place against north korea. it's not going to hurt much more. it's much more of a symbolic measure than anything else. but the fact that the u.s. continues to add sanctions and they bring up the issue of human rights, you know, in addition to the nuclear program, it's certainly infuriating to the north koreans and adding to their perception of an atmosphere of hostility from the united states despite the fact that there continues to be a very warm rapport between the north korean leader kim jong-un and the u.s. president donald trump. and you'll notice even in all of their criticism of the sanctions over the weekend, they never criticize president trump directly. in fact, they say that the sanctions are going against the will of the white

there'll be a partial government shutdown that will include the state department, homeland security, justice department, the environmental protection agency, and other parts of the federal government. some agencies have already been funded and will remain open. next week both the house and the senate are expected to consider government spending bills. you can watch the debate live with the house here on c-span, and the senate on our companion network c-span2. when the new congress takes office in january, it'll have the youngest, most diverse freshman class in recent history. new congress, new leaders. watch it live on c-span. tarting january 3. >> house minority whip steny hoyer and majority leader kevin mccarthy today had what was likely their last colloquy with each in his current position. most of the conversation focused on the possibility of a government shutdown because of a disagreement over president trump's demand for a border wall. bjection, the gentleman from maryland is recognized. mr. hoyer: thank you, mr. speaker. mr. speaker, i ask unanimous consent to speak out of ord

they run his state security department, his organization and guidance department, and his department of propaganda and agitation. the department that, by the way, his own sister kim yo-jong also works for. she is not named here. no member of the kim family is named, and that is likely deliberate on the part of the united states because if they took it to the next level and actually named kim or a member of his family, that could take, you know, what is outrage, anger on the part of the north koreans, a reaction you might expect, and really amp it up to the next level. but the sanctions issue overall, sanctions that are in place over north korea's nuclear program and the issue of human rights which north korea calls nonexistent, despite reports from the united nations of thousands of people imprisoned in labor camps and no freedom of choice or freedom of speech or freedom to express one's political views if they differ from the sole ideological statement of the workers' party of korea. the fact that these sanctions exist and the fact that the u.s. is continuing to add to them and enfo

state security. this is not the first time that the department of justice has accused chinese state actors of stealing commercial information. since the indictment of five uniformed members of the people's liberation army in 2014, our department has repeatedly cast a spotlight on china for its state sponsored criminal activity, targeting american corporations. more than 90% of the department's cases alleging economic espionage or stenyears, involve china. more than two-thirds of the department's cases involving threats of trade secrets are connected to china. in the last few months of this year alone, our department has announced charges in three separate cases, alleging crimes committed at the behest of a branch of the communicates ministry of state security. it is unacceptable that we continue to uncover cyber crime committed by china, against members and other nations. in 2015, china promised to stop dealing trade secrets and other confidential business information through computer hacking with the intent of providing competitive advantage but the activity in this indictment violates the commit imm

funding runs out at midnight for the department of justice, the state department, and homeland security department among others, and president trump's promise, just last week, to take ownership of a shutdown in the name of border security and not to blame democrats, that was his promise, well folks, that no longer applies. this morning, the president not only is blaming democrats for blocking funds for his wall, he's demanding republicans overturn a senate filibuster rule so that they won't need democratic votes. it's called the nuclear option. by the way, mcconnell has signaled no less than a dozen times that it will never happen. still, the president is asking for it. all the while, washington and many other world capitals still in shock over the sudden resignation in principle of the defense secretary jim mattis and looming u.s. troop pullouts from syria and afghanistan. much more on that important move in a moment. but we begin on capitol hill this hour with our manu raju. looking for a last-minute deal. but you know what, manu. the president has changed, not accepting ownership for

talk about the more than 800,000 people, though, affected by the shutdown from the state department, homeland security, the justice department. this list goes on and on. but the president recently categorizing people affected or furloughed as mainly democrats. how he reached that conclusion, it's anybody's guess. but what does it mean for these people that are caught in the middle, people who don't know when they will be paid next? >> well, i think anybody that is expecting a paycheck and doesn't get it knows what that means. that means you're not going to be paying the bills, your rent or mortgage payment is going to be late. payment for your children's education is going to be -- are going to be late. this is not going to help matters. but i don't think we should take the president's remarks on this too seriously. remember it was just a week ago he was saying the majority of the federal employees were in favor of a shutdown because they wanted border security. so one week he thinks 800,000 federal employees are supporting his policies, the next week he thinks it's a bunch of democrats who are gettin

why are our intelligent agenci agencies, state farm, defense department and president's national security council seemingly ignoring all of these developments, at least publicly? nothing new about china's rushing agenda belligerents and the department of justice just issued a report finding more than 90% of federal economic espionage cases are linked to one nation and that is china. over two thirds of the doj theft of trade secrets in this report linked to, again, china. how is the pentagon defending against the chinese and russian flexing of muscle in this hemisphere? not bite military deployment but just to put this in effective we have about 200,000 troops employed around the globe and fewer than 2,000 of them in central and south america. joining me gordon chang, columnist, attorney, author of the book, the coming collapse of china, gordon has been almost two decades working in shanghai and hong kong. great to have you with us. let's start with the africa prosperity, prosper - this initiative enunciated by john bolton the president security advisor seems it could not have been more po

hours time funding for several key departments, the department of transport, state justice, agriculture and, ironically, the department of homeland securityseas provision for the border and security along the border will lose their funding and that will mean, for example, that nasa, the space agency, will effectively close 3rd to will several of the big museums in washington, dc such as the smithsonian and of course there will be some disruption to national parks. they will remain open, we are told, but they will not be staffed. we know that several people have been speaking in the last few hours, 1of been speaking in the last few hours, 1 of them being mitch mcconnell. he said that a vote taken on friday it will allow continued flexibility for negotiations. what did he mean, exactly? basically, what he is looking for, he is pledging his support, if you like, for president trump's contention that this is border security is the predominant requirement and that there needs to be this rather large amount of funding for the border wall. it is funny because just over 1 funding for the border wall. it is funny because just over1 week ago it see

although they would not pin the blame entirely on the united states, most historians pointed out that there was little security in the state department for jewish refugees. to be honest, there is not much send the in the american population as a whole. from the late 1930s, 82 percent of all americans said that they objected to the entry of large numbers of jewish refugees. now, of course the fact that the nazis were seizing their property also made it much more difficult for jewish people to flee. there were other factors as well. in any event, let me try to pull all of this together. what you make of all this? i would say, and this may come as a surprise to you because nativism is also a hot issue today. i would say that the period of most intense nativism in american history was actually from world war i until the late 1930s. so, this leads us to ask another question, are we getting back into that mode of intense nativism? are we still need to this country? the answer i will give you is yes and no. the primary reason i am going to say no is one really big thing has changed since the early 20th century. that is intermarriage is. i c
