[applaus [applause] >> the book is "hue 1968", mark bowden is the author. thank you for your time today. [applaus [applause]. >> all right, thank you very much. we've got hue 1968 sold right outside the auditorium. >> thank you very much, appreciate it.

it is my pleasure to talk with mark bowden about his book, "hue 1968". for those of you that do not know, his resume, he is among other things a national correspondent for the atlantic contributing editor for vanity fair, longtime philadelphia inquirer writer for 24 years. author of many books. on subject all over, literally all over the world from colombian drug lord pablo escobar to an account of the d-day to the killing of osama bin laden. probably best known for black hawk down. an account of the 1993 raid in somalia that led to a two us army black hawk helicopters being downed over mogadishu. the new book which is out this week from atlantic monthly press, it is a very different scope i would say then black hawk down. it is also being made into a miniseries. already. it has not even been out three days. and the producer and director of what will be between eight and 10 hours in the end of this miniseries, it is michael mann. he has said, i like this description. his is in mark's book, there are no background people. people abstracted into statistics

so i'm sure what bowden -- let me just finish this thought. i'm sure bowden meant if we can't resolve it peacefully, then we've got those four solutions. which is the most likely? >> i think the most likely is going to end up being a large scale military force moving into the region, which will bring china to the table. i don't think a shot will need to be fired in order to do this. the reality, michael, is also there has been no pressure applied on china. there has been talk. talk is cheap. it's gotten us nowhere for 30 years. it is now time for concrete actions focused on the problem. solve the problem, not the symptom. the symptom is north korea and nuclear weapons. the problem is china. we need to begin addressing it with china and making sure that they understand that this is a noncompromise issue, that we will nautica pit laot capitulat nuclear weapons to threaten the united states, our territories or our allies. >> commander, thanks for your service. i once had the privilege of boarding the uss cole and it was a great honor. thank you.

you know mark bowden of black hawk down fame. he interviewed all sorts of military leaders, and essentially says, look, when all is said and done, there are four options, three of them are military, ranging from an all-out assault on north korea to decapitating or assassinating kim jong un. he goes through the pluses and minuses of each of the four, but it's option number four that people are going to find hard to stomach but that is acceptance of a nuclear north korea and amazingly, when we polled our audience on this, and thousands of people have voted, they say, yeah, that's probably where it ends up. now, that sounds like capitulation, but it's the least bad of four bad options. >> the least bad of four bad options. okay. >> yep. >> okay. i'll report back after i've read this thing. michael smerconish, always a pleasure. see you on tv tomorrow morning. >>> 14 minutes. that is how long the u.s. says a north korean missile will take to reach guam. we'll talk about what the president would do if the north fired one. >>> also, af

options there for anyone that thinks a military strike is a good idea, you must, must, must read mark bowden'siece in "the atlantic" on how to deal with north korea. there's no way for us to hit him without endangering all of south korea and much of japan. and to say nothing of american bases in the pacific maybe even cities on the west coast. according to experts in the state department and the military, we may just need to accept a nuclear armed north korea, because the other options are unthinkable. i would love to take out kim jong-un, but not at the cost of tokyo. of course, i'm not a go-to go on thermo nuclear war, but i am the go-to guy in the event of a thermo nuclear war have cash, gold and velveeta i'm told that it survives even nuclear war. you should always have some cash and maybe 10%, 20% of your portfolio right now. i want some gold for the possibility of a calamity, even as i think in actual nuclear exchange is unlikely i prefer bullion i also am standing by my long-liked stock of rangold, which can go much higher it's looking good here i've been recommending defense stocks for

they are pablo mendoza, breslin -- brad and fallings and valerie bowden from alameda. if you have information about this case, call the alameda county sheriff's office. >>> a standoff between an armed and suicidal men ended with that man shot and killed. henry, the man set his home on fire first and then came at them with a gun?>> reporter: yes heather, it is still an active scene after that deadly officer involved shooting. the 54-year-old man is dead. he opened -- he barricaded himself in his mobile home and lit it on fire and came out with a shotgun. he was having marital problems. this is cell phone video of a mobile home going up in flames in the livermore police say they had no choice but to shoot the man who started the fire and came outside and brandished a shotgun at them. >> he came out the door with a shotgun. the officers were trying to negotiate with him. the officers eventually fired on the suspect. they rendered first aid, but he was pronounced deceased at the scene. >> reporter: it all started about 9:00 wednesday night. neighbors called police saying t

year-old pablo mendoza from hayward. 26-year-old brandon foalings of oakland, and 26-year-old valerie bowdeneda. investigators think this shooting was gang related. >> alameda police are investigating after a synagogue was vandalized. photos taken on bay farm island show you the broken windows that have been boarded up. the congregant who posted the photos on facebook said the vandals knew they were targeting a jewish institution because of the symbols displayed on the property. police say it's not called a hate crime at this time. >> a family is finally getting answers after almost 26 years of missing a young man. charles campbell, he was just 20 years old, last seen in oakley before he disappeared in september of 1991. his family never knee what happened to him until now. sacramento county sheriff's investigators working a cold case were able to use new fingerprint technology to identify a previously unidentified body found in the sacramento delta. obviously, not the way the family wanted to have this end, but they at least have an answer. they don't know how he died, but investigators say

what's new is they are em bowdened by this president and are able to go out in public without any masking of their faces and proudly declare that they are supreme over other races of people. so donald trump has given comfort to this group of people whether it be his not renting to black people, whether it be his calling for execution of the central park five when those young men were innocent of the crime. whether it be retweeting who ii supremacists, attacking a mexican judge for his heritage even though he actually is an american citizen. these are things that are on the record and -- >> do you reed anything into the fact that the president directly by name only attacked one of these ceos? and it was the first one so, maybe that's the reason, but also the only one who is african-american. >> that's a dog whistle, essentially. he doesn't hesitate to attack the black ceo who drops off the council, but he does hesitate when calling out david duke or denouncing david duke, a former grand wizard of the kkk. why is that? what message is he sending to this particular group of americans that wh

when you say some were em bowdened by what the president had to say, do you believe there's a new sense of freedom so, to speak from people with extremist groups or association of extremist views that are taking a new approach or strategy as a result? >> i don't think there's any question that there is. a lot of the members of these groups have said so publicly, both at the charlottesville rally and in the wake of the rally. there was an idea that i think is correct. a lot of these people are coming off internet message boards and meeting in the real world, these nazis and white supremacist, and finding that they're able to watch and really have a national impact or a national platform in which to spread their message because when you have these terrible instances of violence, it draws all kind of media attention, which we saw after charlottesville. the flipside of that is a lot of people are justifiably horrified by what they saw and i think there is a clearer understanding now among many americans that these white supremacists are a real force in the real world not just an internet ph
