that you so much, gordon chang. kennedy: liberals are criticizing former president barack obama about the money he's making talking to wall street fat cats. debbie wasserman-schultz is defending him. and i'll tell you why she is right for once..... kennedy: it appears the trump administration is leaning towards pulling out of the paris environment agreement. but the issue is reported the administration in some interesting ways. check this out. the head of the environmental protection agency scott pruitt want to exit the deal. secretary of state and former ceo of exxonmobil, he wants to stay in. only in a trump white house could a dynamic like that be possible. let me ask fox business network john stossel. should we stay? in? john: no. price has a better argument. i can see why the secretary of state wants to be not in a position where these other countries will like hick less because it's pulling out of an agreement. but the agreement is just politicians pretending to do something. remember kyoto was going to solve

let me push back on my good friend gordon chang.gree with him his critique about the things about south korea. that's the wrong thing to say about an ally. and then earlier said i don't stand by any of my statements. again, adversaries and allies are listening. that's not a good agreement. but we've had sanctions. lots and lots and lots of sanctions. what do we have in a north korea that builds more missiles and test morse nuclear weapons. if we wait until the very end to have a negotiation, that will never happen. i think there is a possibility here that we could have some talks, and that would lead a freeze. and believe me, i would take a freeze over them building their capability and being able to reach the united states. and yes, it was sort of awkward to say the least to say all those nice things about kim jong un. but a guy who has been to north korea, been to iran, had meetings with awful people, you don't lead into if meeting by saying you're a murderous regime, i hate you. if we're trying to prevent a nuclear war, then we'r

msnbc contributor, john finer, form earp chief of staff to secretary of state john kerry, and gordon changs a daily beast columnist and author of many books including "nuclear showdown -- north korea takes on the world." gentlemen, good to see you here. thank you for joining us on memorial day. steve, let's start with you. angela merkel said what people have been thinking. there has been an erosion in u.s. relations with our european allies. we have a president who has articulated things other american presidents have been concerned about in the past. but there's never been a question that the u.s. and europe are together when it comes to military mutual defense. >> well, we were joined at the hip. this was a sacrosanct alliance that gave america leverage in key issues and i think angela merkel, while she does reflect at least the private thinking of a lot of people, her comments -- because she is probably the least flamboyant leader out there -- these comments are so important that they, in my view, punctuate just a very different direction for the notion of american leadership in the glo

gordon chang is the author of "nuclear showdown." north korea takes on the world. he joins us now. chinese regime does kill people. kills dissidents. it kills babies who don't have birth permits. in a sense, this is not as bad as you would think, but nonetheless, i was surprised. because, you know, the chinese of course see the u.s. as a competitor. but nonetheless, this is behavior that goes beyond the bounds. >> and do we know what impact this has had on u.s./china relations? >> it probably hasn't had much impact at all because the united states is looking at more important goals. president trump is looking to the chinese to disarm the north koreans for us. he probably is not going to let this interfere. but if he decides china is not helping this could be one of the things that could fuel a downturn in the relations. >> gordon chang, thank you so much. >>> the "cbs overnight news" will be right back. >>> the united nations security council will meet on tuesday at the request of the u.s., japan and south korea. after yet another missile launch by north korea. the defiant dictator

joining us is gordon chang who often comments on the situation.down. first, why do you think they fired this today? >> i think what they were doing was essentially trying to intimidate the new president of south korea. he wants to establish dialogue with the north and often times the north will try to give the south koreans a hard time in order to give them incentive to start talking. we also know the trump administration wants to talk to kim jung-un. this gives everybody a reason to sit down and try to cool off matters. therefore, i think it's an attempt to start dialogue. >> eric: every time in all of branches handed out, 1994 the oil for food treaty with president clinton, when president george w. bush took them off the state-sponsored terrorism, doesn't seem to work. it backfires. the new president of south korea's more liberal and is reaching out with a hand to reach out to north korea and kim jung-un, kim jung-un slaps it down by another provocative action. >> i agree with you. i think now is not the time to start negotiations with north kor

joining me forbes contributor, china expert, gordon chang. gordon, good to have you here. you've just heard general jack keane, former vice chief of the army, say straightforwardly, he thinks that the real issue here is china and the collision course that they are on with the united states. your thoughts. >> absolutely correct. you know, the north koreans couldn't bark nor bite as they say without china because china provides more than 90% of external trade, most of their food, most of their oil, plus the technology for the missiles. missiles that the north koreans tested on august 24th, february 12 and may 21st look like they come from the jl 1 submarine launch missile. fished out of the sea north korean missiles clearly from china, and you go through this in the nuclear weapons program, some of the semi process materiale that the north koreans have come from china. lou: gordon, you're saying this, one, the chinese are providing technology. secondly, they're providing design. and thirdly, they are providing, if not manufacture, the products themselves that are being used

good morni ed gordon chang. something that can't be missed here. south korea a major strategic ally of the united states. they have an election on may 9. their president has had to resign under scandal. all of this with north korea, how is that paying out in south korea in terms of the election? >> i think that president trump's comments are helping the anti-merge candidate in this election, moon jae-in who doesn't like the united states, who might even break the treaty. when trump said we might break the free trade agreement with korea, we might have the koreans pay a billion more for thaad. now talking about, honored relating to kim jong-un. if he ends up winning by a squeaker, people will say trump got him elected. >>> what is the implication of that? how important is south korea as a u.s. ally? >> absolutely important. nothing good ever happens with south korea and washington have different policies on north korea. in the laugh years, there was no daylight between seoul and washington. now there will probably be an enormous gulf and trump will

okay, gordon chang, you know we'll be talking with you again.o much. >> thanks, alex. >>> president trump suggesting he'll eliminate daily briefings and do them himself every couple of weeks. how will that turn out? that's next. >> we get here early. we work beyond being here at this podium. as many of you know, we get here early, we work late. we work hard to get you the most accurate and up to date information throughout the day. we don't always have the opportunity to see the president in those cases i think we do a pretty good job of following up. what's that? p3 planters nuts, jerky and seeds. i like a variety in my protein. totally, that's why i have this uh trail mix. wow minty. p3 snacks. the more interesting way to get your protein. the shlike a bald penguin. how do i look?

i raised that with gordon chang said they are indeed doing that. >> 100% they're stringing us along.l of 90% of north korea's energy. they could turn that involve off and shut them down 60, 90 days. they are 65% of north korea's export partner. they could say, we'll not buy from you. turn off the power, stop i buying their stuff, north korea would be on its knees? why hasn't china taken that step? china has to be evaluating right now are they willing to take in some stronger action themselves or risk the u.s. and partners doing it? the one thing they won't stand for a unified korea with a western partner on their border. i think china might get to a place fairly soon, they might consider unilateral action on their on to put the guy into check. neil: what if china can't? i will give benefit of the doubt. what if they can't? >> they could. they certainly could. we know for the most part where you know, missile silos are. china certainly has a whole lot of ideas. they certainly know wherer. but a big problem again, we always concentrate on the nuclear part but there is along the south a

>> so gordon chang, let's talk about the rhetoric as well toward china from president trump, the way he sort of since that meeting, it seems to me with president xi and mar-a-lago, praised chinese president, changed his tone completely from the campaign. is that sort of relationship between president trump and president xi having an impact here or wl it he an impact on the relationship with north korea? >> i think it will have an impact. but what also had an impact was trump authorizing missile strike on syria, chinese friend, when xi jinping was next to him. i think that stunned the chinese. i can't prove it, but i think what happened is it intimidated chinese and they went over and told north koreans don't conduct your sixth nuclear test. that's the thing that hasn't happened in all of this. yes, there have been tests of short range and intermediate missiles but they haven't set off a nuke. that's what we're really concerned about. here what we have with trump and xi jinping and trump and did ute and thailand is coalition building. we need to do that. of course coalition building w

chris gordon joins us to explain the upcoming fare increases. >> reporter: today we learned that all of metro's changes will take effect on june 25th. that means rail riders and passengers can expect increased fares and reduced service. trains will depart every eight minutes on each line. the changes will affect rush hour service only. >> we have new metro hours, all intended to give us more time on the tracks to do preventive maintenance, new scheduled for metro rail and bus and new fares for metro rail and metro bus. >> for metro rail riders, most fares will increase from 10 to 25 cents. metro bus goes up to express bus will increase to $4.25. if they raise fares and reduce service? >> then i'm going to have to drive. it's just that simple. >> i would love to see a regional sales tax in lieu of increasing fares. >> will you continue taking metro? >> well, for now, i don't have a choice, because i can't get parking when i go to work. so i will have to keep on taking it until i can get parking. >> reporter: metro expects the changes will increase revenue in time for maintenance, resulting in a more rel

chris gordon is live in beltsville to tell us how this unfolded. >> reporter: wendy, the woods haven't changed here since 1984 very much. here along route 1, baltimore avenue, in beltsville the murder victim was found here and until recently he was classified as a john doe. you see his family never reported him missing. they thought that he ran off to start a new life that include them. a decomposed skeleton was found in these woods in october of 1984. police were unable to identify the body but recently the fbi using advanced fingerprint technology got a hit identifying the murder victim as bennet lewis. he was a 27-year-old former marine from new roads, louisiana. >> we were shocked to receive notification that they made an identification off of a 1984 case. >> reporter: that's when prince george's county county bernard nelson of the homicide cold case unit was assigned the file. >> we had skeletal remains however there was evidence to indicate that he was shot multiple times because of his clothing having bullet holes and also he had a bullet hole in his skull. >> reporter: i spoke by face

lorna gordon, bbc news, edinburgh. conservative plans to changee local councils have yet to set up a scheme to reclaim the money. the conservatives insist the changes would ensure fairness across the generations. president trump will arrive in israel this morning, on the second leg of his first overseas tour. he's due to meet both israeli and palestinian leaders — with peace talks dominating the agenda. the president has called an israeli—palestinian peace agreement "the ultimate deal", but so far has been vague about what form it should take. simon clemison reports. after what some called an islamaphobic start on the campaign trail, donald trump has met arab and gulf leaders and spoken of working together with muslim nations to defeat religious extremism. this is not a battle between different faiths, different sects or different civilisations. this is a battle between barbaric criminals who seek to obliterate human life and decent people. drive them out of your communities. drive them out of your holy land and drive them out of this earth. the p

think gordon would wrote in his book, revolutionary characters -- one of the checkers was called, is there a madison problem? mehink he would agree with that, no. change of mind when the circumstances change. that's what madison did. >> one of madison's greatest contributions occurred when he was secretary of state. it's something that jefferson gets all the credit for. he deserves credit madison was one of the negotiators. that's the louisiana purchase. everybody is familiar with it from the jeffersonian perspective. but it was madison who was secretary of state who played a role in this. could you talk about him as secretary of state, his negotiations with this event? of madison, example the founder of the constitution changing his mind a little bit. the offer toade let us have vast territory at a good price, jefferson started worrying this was not cost to show. there was nothing in the constitution that said the government has the right to acquire territory, by land. some madison took him aside and said, it's ok. [laughter] if he hadn't been there, i don't know if we would've purchased it or not. >> while we are talking about these virginians,, tos

gordon hayward. >> how long. >> about an hour. >> he says six to seven minutes. >> which fast food change originated in salt lake city. >> wendy's-a. >> not chick-fil-a. >> in n out. >> kfc. >> boom. >> there it is. >> i know my opponent. >> wow. so many pieces of new information. >> i know. >> see, we learn -- well, sal knew this kind of stuff. >> of course he did. >> he has an encyclopedia mind. >> dave. >> come on. >> i geek out on sports as you might know if you follow me on twitter. nevertheless, i have important traffic stuff to impart to you. i will show you 280 in san jose. just around the corner up the road there is an injury accident involving a motorcycle and another vehicle just before 880. and you can see how slow the traffic is. if you look at this other picture of 280, you can see how slow -- you can see all of a sudden -- look at this. there is just an empty spot on the freeway. that's because the accident is blocking most of the lanes. and i'll show you here on the map where the accident is. it is right here. and there's an -- there's a temporary empty spot. and then there's more slow traffic getting into the we

changes like this happen, there's pushback. you look at putin, trump, le pen, all of them are paying saying let's go back in time. trump wants to go to the gordon the soviet year. le pen wants to go to the preeu era because they don't have a solution acres plan to teal with what's really coming down the pike. >> so what should be the plan if all the great kind of western democracies are struggling with essentially their basic experiment in bringing in new people, immigration and growth at the same time? what can countries like france and germany do to ensure the continuation of that experiment going forward and to harness these forces in a positive way, do you think? >> i think some of what's been done. with you bu they're having the same problems we have. old formulas for how do you create a job don't work anymore. we need to come up with new forms for a new era. a fiscal tool and monetary tool won't make any sense in a world of big data where we can actually manage things in a completely different way. we need new leaders who ask new questions about how do we deal with this new reality than those who just want to turn back the clock. >> katty

changed. they have representation in every ward. and one big scalp, i'm told the snp leader in fife council, gordon brown's old backyard, has lost hisu? we are seeing encouraging results across the country for the conservative party. in scotland, we have had ruth davidson, who has run a terrific and energetic campaign, we would expect to move forward. it will be a challenge overtaking labour. they have four times as many councillors as we have. the key thing emerging from notjust as we have. the key thing emerging from not just scotland as we have. the key thing emerging from notjust scotland but england and wales is that on the theresa may, her strong and stable leadership is cutting through. her position on brexit is resonating. particularly in scotland, we are the party that supports the union and will stand up for the union while the other parties want to break up our country. that last comment is clearly not true. the liberal democrats don't want to break up the union in scotland. i think perhaps there was some of that happening in terms of people identify which of the parties could challenge the snp. maybe the conservatives be
