you've been in the room with kim jong-un.u see he has a historic shift in attitude and direction? >> i think so. he has made fundamental change. what we called paradigm change, paradigm change in his way of conducting fine policy. also it is very, very important for president trump to cult have a personal dynamics with chairman kim jong-un. okay. when the secretary pompeo negotiate with his counterpart of north korea, if things go wrong, then suppose president trump make a phone call to kim jong-un. he can fix all the problems. look, north korea is a country of one man rule. it is a country of one leadership. therefore, once kim jong-un make decision, things get done. personal dynamics of the true leader seems to be an important feature in the venture. >> and very briefly, we have 30 seconds. is there anything that worries you? are there any risks you see on the horizon? >> no, i don't think that -- it's just the beginning. devil is in the details. but we understand north korea quite well, therefore i can we will be able to o

it was discovered kim jong-un had no plans to denuclearize.conflicting reports according to what you just told me that you are hearing and meanwhile you have president trump, continuing to post flattering and favorable tweets about kim jong-un. is that part advisable as the president tries to continue his offensive? >> yes. first, the intelligence report i take it with a grain of salt because it is sort of all reported. we really want to see what happens after singapore. i think a key part here is if kim does move towards denuclearization, it will be because of his relationship with trump. north korea is saying we put up a test site, we dismantled missile stuff we did need anyway. we sent back remains. now we want the us to make some concessions. meanwhile donald trump and mike pompeo and secretary mattis we hear are holding firm saying no peace treaty, number concessions and we can keep on military pressure if we need to. because we want to see real and concrete steps.weapons inventory, some spent nuclear fuel rods and etc. arthel: if you say

officials hand delivering trump's letter to kim jong-un this weekend.orth korean side told cnn the regime believes there is a strong possibility of a second summit between the two later this year. john bolton said for now a visit from trump's top diplomat might work best. >> secretary of state mike pompeo is prepared to go back to north korea to meet with kim jong-un. we've proposed that in our most recent letter from the president to kim jong-un. the president is prepared to meet at any point. >> reporter: tonight analysts say there is significant pressure on president trump and mike pompeo to move the nuclear needle with north korea. >> the trump administration clearly is feeling some pressure. they need to see north korea take some tangible step toward denuclearization. everything they've done so far, whether it is blowing up a tunnel entrance on a nuclear test site -- or dismantling one missile engine test facility instrument, none of that goes to the heart of the matter. >> reporter: and the heart of the matter experts say is getting kim's regime t

of course verification and inspections all of that and to giving up their nuclear weapons and kim jong un this child that's not him that feels like stalemate to me bunny it's you know you've got everything seems to have to happen between washington and pyongyang. and going back to our original point about the tension with china china should be a player in this it's a major stakeholder in the region but i mean it's hard to see how it could get involved on the how anything can even move forward. well i guess one interesting wrinkle here is that president trump said that maybe there'd be no deal with north korea and tell there is a resolution to trade tensions with china if that's the case we're going to wait a long time because there's been no progress even this week we had officials from china in washington d.c. and there was no progress they are in trade talks but maybe president trump is signaling to see jinping that if he wants to have progress in the trade talks maybe even trump would be willing to lower the bar in terms of his demands it see jim pinkerton pushed some pressure on him t

and even though the white house says he's going to meet with kim jong-un.here is been all these signs and up to this point, president trump was willing to give north koreans the benefit of the doubt. that looks like it is changed right here and right now. that's why it is a significant development. >> i want to bring in jonathan, hans used the word here, jonathan that i am going to start with with you here, the word being skepticism. >> could it be here the last two or three hours reporting extensively on the latest member of the president's inner circle to take immunity deal to start cooperating with prosecutors and all of a sudden, at about 1:30 on a friday afternoon of the midst of all of the coverage, the president decides to announce that the north koreans are not who we thought they were, distractions? >> if that's what he was going for, it does not work because this the one distraction where everyone will look at tweet and say, anyone who has been paying attention and say what took you so long? this is not going to stop us from talking about the fina

i think from his tweets, he is still trying to keep a relationship with kim jong un because from hism jong un promised denuclearization but it may be time to go back to maximum pressure. >> judge jeanine: great discussion. thank you, guys. up next on the special edition of "hannity," we have highlights of president trump's speech in ohio. he warnedgh what would happen if the democrats win in november. doug schoen and david abella react next. don't forget to pick up a copy of the book, if you like what we are talking about tonight, "liars, leakers, and liberals." stay with us." ♪ bass pro shops and cabela's bring you the fall hunting classic with huge savings. like this cuddeback black flash game camera for only $75. and these keen men's waterproof hiking boots for under $90. ♪ >> it's interesting, we have the strongest economy in the history of our nation, and we hear about a blue wave. why is there a blue wave? we are doing better with travis. there are more people working than at any time inhe the histoy of our country. i don't think there's going to be a blue wave. i hope there is

kim jong-un might come to the white house but kim jong-un recently executed agenda. we don't have to develop more nukes because we going to start developing nukes and that's what you get executed four. north korea has no intention of stopping the nukes. they have no intention of giving freedom to their people. so that is not the direction they're going to. i'm sure those politicians will keep the status quo that the people are suffering and the military will continue if we do not take action. >> host: yeonmi park, what are you doing today? >> guest: i'm a writer, and now i am running my own organization with my partner, my co-defector from north korea was actually at the state of the union that i'm trying to rescue my fellow defectors are trapped in china like myself was, that we rescue them to safety and we get information inside north korea so let the people inside north korea that they are slaves. and the rest of the world -- so that's what i do and i hope that i do know that. they change will not come from politicians. if ever diplomacy works, it will not work. t

it has been less than two months since president trump and kim jong—un met at the historic trump—kim nowhere closer to figuring out what that actually means. all that mr pompeo has said here at the meetings in singapore is that the timeline, in part, is up to the north korean leader. and until then, economic sanctions on pyongyang will stay. karishma vaswani, bbc news, singapore. let's speak to our correspondent in washington chris buckler. is this a stumble in relations? is it being taken seriously? there is a strange difference in the leaderships between kim jong—un, donald trump and those within their administration. donald trump sent out a tweaked thanking kim jong—un for sending back the remains of american soldiers, talking about his nice letter and kindness. at the same time, you have many within his administration deeply concerned. while north korea talked about denuclearise asian, actually they've seen no evidence of it and there is growing concern among the intelligence agencies that although pyongyang says it wants denuclearisation, it's not making any strides whatsoever t

that the -- the praise of kim jong-un, thanking him for a, quote, kind action comes the same week thewashington post" broke the reporting that north korea is working on one, possibly two new missiles at a very critical location and factory and the fact that we just heard secretary of state mike pompeo testify under oath before the senate that, yes, north korea is still produce this fissile material. we know they're still enriching uranium. >> it's appropriate for the president to thank chairman kim for these actions. that's -- could be part of a negotiating technique to praise him, asking him to do more, continue to engage. but truthfully when you see the other more important elements of denuclearization which have not been accomplished and there doesn't appear to be movement toward that, in fact all indicators from the intelligence community and the state department is just the opposite of happen iing, it seems to be strange these kinds of effusive comments from the president to mr. kim are saying some of the things that -- are indicating some of the things that we're seeing. the one

>> and kim jong-un said yes. so the one-year period that we've talked about from the point where north korea makes the strategic decision to denuclearize is something that the north and south koreans have already agreed to. why is that significant? president trump has gone out of his way to hold the door open for kim jong-un. that's what the singapore meeting was about. >> but how long do you give the north koreans for their strategic decision to denuclearize? do they really understand what that means? should that have been written down? >> it's hard to believe they don't understand it. secretary pompeo has done extraordinary followup diplomacy after the singapore meeting. as i say, we expect that's going to resume in the near future. it's a hard task. i don't envy him but he's worked very hard at it to pursue president trump's goal of getting north korea denuclearized. >> and we'll be patient for how long? >> i think we're counting on north korea following through on the commitments that they've made. >> and i j

the repatriation was agreed at june's summit between trump and kim jong-un. attending the arrival of the boxes in hawaii where the remains will be thoroughly examined was u.s. vice president mike pence. >> some have called the korean war forgotten war. but today we prove these heroes were never forgotten. today our boys are coming home. for more on this we crossed to senior research fellow. thank you for your time. just have significant is this repatriation of remains yet -- remains? event but iymbolic think it is also meaningful of a of a trust building process between the u.s. and dprk. this time kim jong-un -- which was included in the singapore agreement signed on june 12. but still i think this is beginning to long-term trust building process. -- good political achievement for president trump to gain as the u.s.rt people feel proud of those government actions. you talk about building trust. really this doesn't take the u.s. any closer to the main issue which is denuclearization. or does it? >> the negotiation for denuclearization process is really now ve

he had the negotiations with kim jong-un. he said things went well and they had a good rapport.e progress. mike pompeo saying over the weekend that north korea is in violation of the united nations resolution and urging to continue sanctions against north korea. north korea responding saying the united states is not living up to the end of the singapore summit and they may have to walk away with the pledge to denuclearization if they don't get sanctions relief or formal end of the korean war peace treaty we told you about. north korea feels the person they can negotiate with best is donald trump directly with their leader. that is what my sources are telling me they want to happen. they say the exchange of letters a good sign. we have to watch and see if they do set a date to sit down and what might come out of it in terms of concrete steps to denuclearization. >> thank you, will. >> and if that is the most important story of the day. steven seagal, all classics, now responding to the appointment as russia representative on russian humanitarian ties. seagal is humbled and honore

his take is that this has failed and the fault of kim jong-un only.has never had much hope for talks with him because i knew north korea wasn't serious about denuclearization. the president took a gamble to try a peaceful resolutions but this effort failed and kim jong-un is 100% at fault. are you willing to go that far and where we are in the status that we are in with north korea? >> no, i'm not. i don't believe these have failed. i believe that kim jong-un is not interested in going as far as i would like him to go but we know that the world i believe is safer today than it was when president trump came into office because of the discussions with kim jong-un. we're not seeing rockets being fired anymore. not seeing underground testing of nuclear weapons at this point. we don't see the kind of aggressive advances that north korea was making. so i think the president has made the right move and especially with his secretary of defense and secretary of state with the statements that they've made. we'll move ahead with i believe the joint next year wor

i asked him, did you ever speak to kim jong-un. no. i said wouldn't it be maybe a good thing to give it a shot? obama couldn't get a meeting. clinton couldn't get a meeting. bush couldn't get a meeting. you know, with the family. bush couldn't get a meeting. nobody could get a meeting. this one's tougher than the father. i say that with respect but he's tougher than the father and tougher than the grandfather. they couldn't even get a meeting. i got a meeting. john: secretary of state mike pompeo announcing today he's heading to north korea next week, making it his fourth trip this year. joining me, former navy pilot and former intelligence operative, fox news correspondent lee gabriel. we talked about north korea for years. they have lied about everything. everything. without exception. how in the world can we trust this guy now? >> i think that we won't trust him. i think that we will look for verifiable steps that are taken by the north korean regime to show whether or not they are actually sincere in willingness to denuclearize. th

a top aide to kim jong-un. cnn confirmed the letter that the denuclearization process was at stake and may fall apart. cnn's will ripley is live in hong kong with the latest. will. >> reporter: laura, this is perhaps the most serious challenge to the still fledging diplomatic relationship with u.s. and north korea since the singapore summit. if the process falls apart and the two sides cannot come to a deal as to what denuclearization will look like, then north korea, as they stated, resume the nuclear and missile activities that created one of the most tense situations with the u.s. and north korea in decades. i want to read you a statement conveying the essence of the letter said. the u.s. is still not ready to meet north korean expectations in taking a step forward to signing a peace treaty. that is the sticking point. the north koreans want a peace treaty up front and denuclearization later as part of the step by step process of lifting of sanctions. many believe the economic aid and peace treaty should not

kim jong-un strategy hopefully reflects a rationality on his part. competency of the american military power and deliver overwhelming force on to north korea if necessary. president trump's unpredictability in his tweeting in terms of deployment made to south korea and the surrounding area and the build-up to the singapore summit. these things are things that north korea pays attention to. i think as we come towards the end of the year, it will issbe clear whether north korea will dismantle things that would be hard to rebuild. at that point president trump will make a determination about how to go guaforward. >> bill: why do you say the end of the year? >> because when you talk about north korea dismantling and frankly at least i think over 10 sites instead of just 1 or 2 missiles launch sites and talked about the factory. we know where that is and a lot of scientists. there is a measurable way to see if north korea is back away from that stuff. if that is not happening by the end of the year, i think there is an understanding that north korea is no

>> great question, rob, kim jong un has a unique opportunity to reach out for economic development andr commander in korea general brook says there is no going back for north korea, the un security council is still locked arms, kim needs and wants sanction's relief but going forward is the only thing, president trump told us in may it would go as slowly or quickly as kim jong un wants, it's about the political will in kim jong un's heart as our -- it's really on his shoulders. we have to keep the pressure on military and the sanction's pressure. rob: yeah. jackie: john mccain's lasting impact on military as he passed this weekend, a lot of thoughts on him this morning, what would you say about his impact on the military? >> as a national security analysts john mccain was a navy man through and through, naval aviation, he could be really tough on the air force, he made sure it was always admiral and command in the pacific but under his time in the senate naval aviation flourished. they got the new super hornet fighter, pa surveillance plane and set aviation up for radical new f-35 fight

this is keeping with what kim jong-un said on now yeew year's.w pyongyang is producing those missiles at a plant in the suburb of their capital. some experts are telling "the new york times" this is not unusual, north korea would continue this type of activity because they haven't agreed to denuclearize yet and if they stop the production they would be giving away their leverage. >> secretary pompeo now traveling there. might this be a warning message from the trump administration to get serious? >> reporter: well, we can look at it in a couple of ways. maybe it could be a warning message if president trump has decided he is not open to another summit with kim jong-un even though on the north korean side they believe that was a very lyingly possibility. but it could also be fracnkly te u.s. coming in with a different approach. in early july it was a contentious meeting. the u.s. was asking for a big surrender of nuclear weapons right up front. the north korean rejected that. they went back and forth. it got very tense. the north koreans felt they

president trump said kim jong-un is not keeping his commitments, he's not denuclearizing, he's stillking forward to seeing him. so you have to wonder why that is, if kim jong-un is still violating international law, a can't imagine that president trump needed any more evidence than what was in the iaea report earlier in the week saying they weren't denuclearizing to decide to cancel this trip. >> if it's not an embarrassment to pompeo, might it ultimately be an embarrassment for trump because he's the one who famously k famously declared north korea was no longer a nuclear threat, saying that a few weeks ago, and of course he was giving much praise after the meeting with kim jong-un. is this now kind of an admission that, well, maybe it's going to take some time or maybe we're not seeing the progress that, you know, the president boasted? >> i think it's an embarrassment for trump but more than anything it's a blow to global security and global stability because kim jong-un is proceeding with his nuclear program. but he's being embraced around the world. he is not considered really t

but what's going on is the president is giving kim jong-un a master class on how to hold a door open for somebody. and if the north koreans can't figure out how to walk through it, even the president's fiercest critic can't say that he didn't open the door wide enough. but we're doing to have to have more negotiations with the north koreans no question about it. >> and karl rove is r who is also editor of the new yorker online, we understand there was a letter between trump and kim jong-un himself and president trump hasn't really called out kim jong-un on not moving faster on denuclearization and then you hear bolton protecting the reputation of the president saying he is working really hard, what is going on here with this messaging? >> i think bolton is defending the president, that's his job, but there's information coming out of the north korean summit that north korea is still building ballistic missiles and there's also intelligence reports that north korean officials have talked about destroying some of their nuclear weapons declaring that they have given them up and actually

it's also strange that trump said kim jong un was excellent to the prisoners.s almost like they were the hostages, but trump was the one with stockholm syndrome.

could kim jong-un be one of them? and could he meet with president trump somewhere, maybe trump tower? unthinkable a couple years ago, but this is 2018, phil. you just never know. >> about as good as you can put it. singapore felt like a sprint. last couple weeks makes it feel like this is a marathon. either way, will ripley will be participating in both. will in hong kong, thank you very much. >> make sure your laces are tied, will. >>> vice president mike pence heads to the pentagon on thursday to discuss the future of the u.s. military in space. president trump has been calling for the development of a space force. pence's arrival is expected to coincide with the release of a pentagon report to congress that contains recommendations for space components. it is not expected to call for the establishment of a separate space force military branch. that would require action by congress. >>> investigators are trying to identify the remains of a boy found during a search of a new mexico compound where 11 children were fo

pictures, videos that you see, you see kim jong-un with a notepad.or, the chinese leader, president xi, is actually dictating some of the things to kim jong-un. so, it's kind of a student-teacher relationship between the two of them, not that north korea doesn't do independent things, and sometimes they do anger the chinese, but the key thing here is that the chinese really are the only source of influence from the outside world with a little bit from russia. they basically control a lot of what north korea does have a foreign policy perspective, and that is something that we need to work much more carefully with the chinese, instead of engaging in direct trade wars with them. we have to be very careful in how we do that if we want them to help us with north korea. >> all righty. colonel cedric leighton, so grateful to have your perspective, always. thank you for being here. >> you bet, always a pleasure. >>> urban meyer is apologizing again. andy scholes, what's he saying? >> victor, meyer under fire for the way he handled wednesday's press conferen

first from donald trump who continues to talk about his great relationship with kim jong—un. deed, even about his great relationship with kimjong—un. indeed, even sent about his great relationship with kim jong—un. indeed, even sent a letter to the north korean leader through the security forum which is being held at in singapore. there are those within his administration who are deeply concerned that they are not seeing action from north korea. yes, two months ago, they talked about denuclearisation. but actually, the intelligence agencies here believe that they are continuing to work on and build nuclear missiles and that is what is concerning them. beyond that, mike pompeo was having a message that was being sent not just pompeo was having a message that was being sent notjust north korea but also russia. that is because of exactly that issue that you mentioned. that is to do with sanctions. there are is some evidence which is being given to the un security council that pyongyang is managing to get around to evade sanctions. there are some indications, for example, that the

meeting with kim jong-un early on and negotiating some of these details is important. because if i were kim jong-un or vladimir putin or any world leader, i would not want to break my word with president trump. if that's the direction that north korea is taking, there will be severe penalties moving forward as the president has promised many times along the way. it's important that north korea get back on track, keep their word, keep their end of the bargain. the north korean people have a lot to gain for that occurring. and i hope that will be the case. it's important to remember what we were talking about one year ago from today, a year ago from today we were talking about north korea launching test missiles, if you recall, on july 4 of 2017, they test launched an intercontinental ballistic missles that we didn't know they had before. fast forward to what we're talking about today and the story is different, whether it's returning the bodies of american soldiers back to the united states, at the end of the day talking about the negotiations, we've seen a very big con

because people are pleased that kim jong-un has said he wants to talk about denuclearization.he question is what he means and what we mean by it. and so there has to be some real assessment of the terms. nothing can happen unless whatever agreements are made are verifiable. and there are an awful lot of steps here, and it's unchelear w well prepared the trump administration is for a major discussion and debate. >> can i ask you this, because john bolton, now the national security adviser, has a very hardline record on north korea and on iran. he talked about using military force there. but also, you know, what about these complicated negotiations where potentially a john bolton or a president trump might think the only successful negotiation, in other words, if the u.s. wins every single one of its points? >> well, i'm always very worried when people see things in terms of zero sum. it is very hard to get a functional and useful agreement with anybody or any country if it is zero sum. because what you want to try to do is to have kind of a win-win situation. and even if it isn

the north koreans want assurances and guarantees that kim jong-un will stay in power.y that has been in effect since 1953. they want that before they give up the nuclear weapons. the u.s. believes that should happen at the end of the denuclearization process after kim jong-un surrendered his arsenal. this could be back to square one. da dave. >> will ripley, thank you. >>> "new day" is ten minutes away. the one and only john berman joins us. what is going on? >> i heard "new day" is ten minutes away. that is coming up fast. i'm fascinated by the north korea story. we will have will on in a little bit. what happened between june and now that touchurned this relationship sour or was it never a relationship to produce anything to begin with? we will look at that this morning. plus, we are getting more details about the tick tock how the president relented and ordered the flag to half staff to honor john mccain. what went on that it took so long? the coverage of mccain's passing was over the top and more befitting a president? he thought the coverage of the passing of john

it comes from kim jong un.f they make a strategic decision to give up nuclear weapons they can do it within a year. we are waiting to see evidence that in fact that strategic decision has been made. >> chris: any evidence of that strategic decision? >> john: unfortunately i can't talk about intelligence whether it's leaked into the news media or not. i will just say the president is doing everything he can beginning with the film he showed to kim jong un in singapore about what the future can be if north korea de nuclearizes. he's doing the best salesman job he can. >> chris: a long way away from building condos on beaches and north korea. one last question, i've got a minute. >> john: i don't want to condo on the beach and north korea under any circumstances. >> chris: that makes two of us. remember your training here in tb. we seem to be starting an escalating trade war with china. i want to put these up. we've imposed or scheduled tariffs on $50 billion of chinese goods. they have retaliated. now we are talk

they are being targeted here and at the same time as donald trump seems to be talking warmly by kim jong—unld trump seems to be talking warmly by kim jong—un, he was as donald trump seems to be talking warmly by kimjong—un, he was doing so on warmly by kimjong—un, he was doing so on twitter only this week and made a point that this new summit of southeast asian countries, to be giving to him, which does indicate they have a relationship, but of course i has been seized on by the koreans themselves, their foreign minister became very clear that what is alarming the insistent moves ma nifested is alarming the insistent moves manifested within the eu nets —— us to go back to the old far from its leaders and tensions, that is a clear indication they believe president trump believes one thing, and some within his administration believe another. what about other reactions to the report, regionally what has been said? the usual split is seen in terms of this, which is china and russia will fall in behind north korea, on the other hand, you'll have japan and south korea concerned along with the us,

korean foreign minister and then had this letter from president trump to north korean leader kim jong-un, basically given to him to hand off to the north korean leader later. and so, while there were some of these diplomatic niceties and they were trying to make nice, there was also some criticism. pompeo saying that north korea's behavior has been inconsistent, as he put it, with kim jong-un's commitment to denuclearization, to getting rid of its nuclear weapons, arguing that all these southeast asian countries that were gathered there, that they should continue to diplomatically and economically isolate north korea. and he singled out russia, accusing it of helping north korea evade united nations security council sanctions. take a listen. >> we have seen reports that russia is going for joint ventures with north korean firms and granting new work permits to north korean guest workers. if these reports prove accurate, and we have every reason to believe that they are, that would be in violation of u.n. security council resolution 2375. i want to remind every nation that has supported t

has the world been duped by kim jong-un here? >> well, north korea has been very good at delaying and delaying. they have done this to everybody and certainly have done it to other administrations. you've talked to christopher hill, i'm sure, about what happened when he tried to also negotiate. they did it with george bush. but this is a pattern i mean it is following a pattern of giving a little but not giving much. he wants these sanction liftd or eased. the one thing certainly the trump administration is doing is keeping the economic pressure on north korea to deliver. it's going to be a very long-term process. north korea sees de-nuclearization as a de-nuclearization of the whole peninsula. >> that means american forces are leaving. it means south korean forces leaving. it means the de-nuclearization of both sides. you know that is the reason i think one reason they're kind of holding off, now, obviously, there was no question, they are sending workers abroad. they've always done that and yet hard currency from taking a good

and in north korea the most charming person in kim jong-un, if you have a big family and -- your are a very -- not very men people are like that. most people are starving so if you have big belly and that means he really likes -- like very -- so, i think that's what i am so obsessed withfood that even though kim jong-un has so much, and run the country, he was -- he knows that he cannot be god if he opens up. that's why he choose to stop people so he can control his population. >> host: is it inevitable that the kim dynasty continues into n today's world of the internet instant communication. >> guest: i do think people are changing north korea, that defectors like myself who escape, we have relatives left. we send information back at home. he remain touch with them. we call them. so this border, and we keep them in the freedom the human right so now they are estimating around 75% of north korean people have access outside information and it's been only happening last 10 years. we just knew that the information is more people escape and come and be like myself, be a spokesperson and

than kim jong un indicated in singapore and then reconsidering a strategy was the right move to make. to do that. the real problem is the president, to be frank, misjudged kim jong un unless if we can get on a better track. arthel: to follow up that i have time. less than 18 days after the summit with kim jong un there is a new discovery that north korea had no plans to do you make a list of all the things to shake hands with the president and privately to see tim. as the president premature on that sunday? should he have relied on the resources and the fingertips and intellectual intelligence before agreeing to the meeting and is there any way the summit was the right move. i think it was the right move, but the president needed to do a much better job in nailing kim jong un down unless more explicit commitment, unambiguous commitments to denuclearization. kim jong said there must of us are and take all his troops out while he keeps his nuclear weapons for at least another 10 to 20 years. the deal was never fully understood on the north korean side and now we are paying the price in
