1980s, kim il-sung began turning over some of his duties to son, kim jong-il.r and son were vastly different characters. >> you could talk to certain migrants from north korea that live in the south. they'll tell you that kim il-sung we loved. kim jong-il terrified us. >> introverted. >> kim jong-il is a complicated person. he was prone to mood swings. >> in 1994, kim il-sung died. there were doubts about kim jong-il's succession but they gradually faded because he had one talent. he was a master propagandist. >> when kim jong-il took charge of the propaganda section, they started to turn kim il-sung into a god. >> the myths of the dynasty, the preposterous stories of the god-like abilities and sacred blood line. kim jong-il largely created them. >> he was very influenced by christianity in a strange way. they have seems like a bible. that's all about kim song's works. they have bible study groups. >> the resemblance to christianity is no accident. many myths are rooted in the religion, perhaps because the founder was raised a presbyterian. his parents believed

he was succeeded by his son kim jong il. meanwhile north korea and washington continued formal talks in geneva the u.s. delegation was led by senior diplomat robert gallucci. young agreed to freeze the operation of its current nuclear reactors in exchange for new light water reactors to be provided by a consortium of states including the us. the new reactors could produce energy but not weapons grade plutonium. they go shooting objective in one nine hundred ninety four was to stop a plutonium production nuclear weapons program in north korea when we concluded the deal we did exactly that they had three reactors one operating two under construction to produce plutonium and one represents a plant to extract the plutonium we shot all of them down. all of. the central intelligence agency projected at. north koreans would have roughly about two hundred kilograms of plutonium each year if we didn't do the deal. in january two thousand and one new us president took the stage just for itself protect and defend the constitution or to

goes to meet kim jong un, he will be probing kim jong un, asking key questions and ascertaining whethere is serious about denuclearization. >> ed: we play the sound with kristin, the president seeming to be cautiously optimistic about a deal. we are to be clear that the north koreans have made promises before, even before kim jong un, have lied to come have, haven't followed through. how does this president, who promised in singapore that denuclearization was going to happen very, very quickly, the cia doesn't believe that has happened. so how do we get there? >> one of the things about this president i don't think he gets enough credit for as we have seen him swivel on issues. we have seen them do it in afghanistan and on syria most recently. what he said in singapore is entirely different from today. but i think he is setting the right tone by saying and he is not in a rush. for me, i recall in president reagan walked away from the reykjavik summit with secretary gorbachev, didn't make a deal because it was the wrong deal. i think that is the right tone for the president to set to req

coming to vietnam, having the president come to vietnam is a win for kim because he's coming to kim,lose to his domain and kim takes his luxury train instead of having to fly somewhere but you don't enter negotiations with an enemy, you don't try to get an enemy to give up his weapons by threatening him. we already threatened him, brought him to the table, donald trump got what he wanted by stopping the threats against the world. kim is no longer threatening the destruction of los angeles, and the chinese parable, the northwind, to take his coat off. pulling it closer around him. the sunshine warmly and the man says it is hot here. donald trump was the northwind last year. is that i have a bigger button and threatened complete destruction of the country. this year he is going as the smiling son and saying give up your weapons, i am giving you a concession and you could be a luxury beachfront real estate mogul like me if you just follow this plan and give us those weapons. heather: do you think the president is taking the right approach and how he is handling this? >> i do. the way he

kim jong un like a business colleague. selling denuclearize a fantastic business opportunity for a brighter future. heather: the summit is being held there in vietnam, an example to kim jong un and what could happen with north korea. >> hanoi is a symbolic location, kim jong un appreciates that. there is a better and brighter future than north korea. kim jong un's choices simple, trade nuclear weapons for economic prosperity. a good deal and he should take it. heather: should we agree to sanctions relief before we have proof that they are taking steps needed to denuclearize? >> these are not us sanctions entirely, they are un sanctions. we keep the pressure on. it will depend on what kim jong un brings to the table. it is in his hand. heather: we will see what happens. it is something donald trump, the first sitting us president to meet with a north korean leader, his second sit down with him happening a few hours from now. we appreciate it. time is 18 after the top of the hour, donald trump's border emergency facing a wal

kim jong-un will want something. going to give up a nuclear enrichment plan he'll want something. we don't want to back away from the sanctions the u.n. imposed. trish: even though russia and china are not actually following it. >> i think maybe we haven't been as tough with china on this because of the trade deals going on. hopefully if they get that agreement in march we knowledge get back to being tough on them in terms of the sanctions. trish: do you think sanctions work? i would rather engage in trade wars and i would rather we lose out economically in has been a lot of concern about how much weight can we put on china to help with the negotiations. but would i think we would want to use all the economic leverage we could to help influence the situation before we wind up ever engaging from a military perspective. >> absolutely. your thoughts on that? >> there is no summit taking place fit weren't for the economic sanctions. that's what brought kim jong-un to the table. in singapore and that's why he's here today

i like kim jong un. on top of the letters they exchanged, the president sang a political rally, basically fell in love, all of that stuff raising eyebrows whether he's being too nice to a dictator, when you see the dictator saying i didn't know you knew this much about what i am secretly doing, if you are right it raises real questions about whether we can trust this man but that makes the president's point more important which is i am not signing onto a bad deal with a guy i may not be able to trust. if i can trust him, i can back him into a corner in 6 months from now get a better deal, who cares if i can trust him. if i can verify it and get in writing that he's going to denuclearize and sending independent inspectors, that is better. you can't trust him today. jillian: great coverage overnight. let's continue on, joining us on the ground is cia station chief dan hoffman who was tapped to join the intelligence advisory board. not sure you were listening, i want to bounce off of this idea of trust. we

kim understand kim understands s testing missiles again, he will put the president in a tough spot andy wants to return to the days of 2017. what i'm impressed with it seems that both sides built up enough rapport it didn't blow things up, they're still talking. i think there is going to be a third summit and i think we will go to denuclearization and a peace declaration. it didn't happen today but that doesn't mean it is not going to happen. >> last question, it also seems that as you hear the president lay all of this out that he's developed a rapport with kim jong un, and is confident that they can come back together, as i say, potentially in a third summit, although the president, to be clear, did not commit to that. are you opt mystic in your point about -- optimistic in your point about testing, the president claims that kim jong un gave him some kind of commitment he is not going to go back to testing that is a long away from where we were a year and a half ago. >> people think that is fake and laugh about some of the jokes, trump saying they fell in love, but that's how peace h

kim jong un is ruthless. we had the fire and fury phase and at the winter olympics in seal he let it be known he would be willing to engage south korea and the united states, donald trump took him up on the that, the singapore summit as a result. what donald trump that has done is important, he's not in any rush for agreement and it is important, there's a criticize the president walking away with a deal that, lowering expectations and rightly so with an eye towards demanding more from kim jong un. that is the right strategy. it is up to kim jong un. pete: he said do you trust me? he said yes and the president does, i do. >> it will be deeds rather than words. rob: we just saw daniel hoffman in vietnam. let's talk about what happened in the house of representatives late in the day yesterday. she said she was going to bring it up and it passed. a resolution to nullify the president's national emergency declaration. it passed by a healthy margin 245-182. it will go to the u.s. senate where mitch mcconnell hopes

what do you think is the difference here in the style and the goals of kim jong un versus kim jong il, his father? >> well, you know, history is one of my favorite topics, and i'm not going to bore you with the ins and outs, but everyone thinks the 1994 deal was a failure, and it wasn't because we expected north korea to have almost 100 nuclear weapons by the year 2000, and they ended up with enough material for less than ive the difference here between kim jo jongil and kim jong un is very clear. kim jong un is 34 years old. he has many years ahead of him he has a different time horizon. he is not as cautious as his father i bet you his father would not have put himself in this kind of situation, but kim jong un is used to taking shortcuts that's one of his favorite phrases. a shortcut to what he wants is meeting with donald trump. >> and he got it and he gets the press back in his home country lisa, do you believe that there is any gamesmanship here going on trump and president xi of china have some very important trade negotiations still ahead do you believe there was some element

if you've got somebody, like kim jong kim jong un, backed into a korner, this old plane, looking over his shoulders, scared to leave the country, he may do desperate things. only the other hand, president trump may be able to exploit that fear, this is your best chance to survive is actually cut a deal. >> that's president trump's it as something to get him to do that. but there may be limits to what kim jong un can do safely, that's where the art of the deal comes in. extract what you can and put them a position where he can verifiably walk back the rhetoric inside the north korean state media. that will be the real tell if after this summit you see a change in tone coming out not just from north korea officially but what you see on state media there, because that may be a sign he's preparing the north korean leadership and his own people for a different era. he would have to do that to ensure his own be survival. >> so i've got one minute left. the president is here at his hotel, he had these meetings, he has down time to get ready for tonight. what do you think is going on inside t

look kim jong-un -- pardon kim jong-il would have spoken to obamaer bush if he knew that obama or brush were ready to give away the farm, that is what shaping, they are not going to denikde-- denuclearize. kennedy: what are they getting in return? president saying that north korea could become an economic power house, it seems it is impossible for that to happen unless have you some openness in country, have you so start with the labor camps, almost seem like more difficult to make the transition to freedom for people doing forced hard labor for few years of their lives before they before dying miserable deaths. >> you know, i could not careless, china harvest kidneys from political prisoners, but my tv of made in china, possibly by all the no kidneys mcgee, i don't know, all i care about, does the country country have nukes? are they telling us you know, we may use them, we may not, we need winter olympics so we might nuke tokyo, i care about they get rid of the nukes, they are not going to. kennedy: people who understand how north korea really operates, they don't want to be ukraine,

between the president and kim jong un in singapore and here is that we really can object to kim jong un on and his advisors. at the forefront of kim jong un's mind are the lessons learned from other dictators like muammar qaddafi, who gave up his nuclear weapons capability and was overthrown. and i think you get back to something your previous guests said, and enter the war would give kim jong un some level of confidence that we recognize his regime, that might be something that we tell mike might him to pursue at least some initial steps towards denuclearization. >> shannon: down half their life on the ground in vietnam, thank you very much for your insight, it's always great to have you. >> thanks. >> shannon: what can president trump actually get accomplished this week? is there anything he can do that his critics will actually give him any credit for? who will bring back our power panel who will tell us what they hope is accomplished, some goals they think the president should shoot for. they join us again, next. ♪ chicken?! chicken. chicken! that's right, candace-- new chicken c

for kim it matters, too.wo models, the german model of reunion if i where capitalism wins or vawmedz at the time the communist went out. kim wants to retain power. this has message for both sides. brian: if you can gradually constituency convince him that his security is not a threat. let's say he sincerely believes we were going to invade all those times and years we hear about that. so, china could provide the back stop and the defense like we provided for canada and all our nato allies so they can honestly say america is prevented from invading because china will officially become their defense force and they can still keep their military. the nukes leave. they have china's support. and then you have the economic revitalization of the potential of the north korean people. because this don't have to look to vietnam. all they have to look is to south korea to see what their potential is. >> yeah. you know, that's a really good point, brian. the security guarantees you led with and elaborated on. there has be

arthel: kim jong-un in the kim regime has been disingenuous for decades. deceptive. if kim jong-un wants to continue to operate on this platform president trump has given him, how long can he continue the game of deceit before he's dismissed and written off. >> that's up to trump. i think the united states has the means without use of force to get the north koreans to give up their weapons. kim gets a lot of his money from russia, china and south korea and other places and we have the means to stop that. every dollar in the world clears in this city in new york. we have the means to stop those dollars going to kim jong-un. arthel: you have china double dipping, meaning the president is dealing with them in terms of this trade war or trade deficit. how do you juggle both of those at the same time? you want china to come to the table on trade, what do you do? >> i think what you do is put a cost on the chinese. for two decades beijing has dangled this all ideas of cooperation on north korea. if we give them something else. and they never really help husband on north ko

so, he is appealing not just to kim as a leader, he is also appealing to kim as a person.s somebody who might be able to deliver for his people, if that is in a kim's interest, that is what the president is trying to set this framework. it remains to be seen if an ideologue like chairman kim will respond to that, but based on what we have seen so far, the president has already deescalated tensions with his outlawed trials of asia and that in and of itself is a huge achievement. >> laura: this conversation we have had of the past 45 minutes a significant in many ways. we talked about the china angle, we talked about the cohen deal, we talked about the impact on the rest of the globe, not just the korean peninsula, the entire global marketplace. this has a profound impact on it. a panel, thank you for your contributions, really important. any moment, i know i keep saying it, but any moment they are going to come out live, you don't want to miss a moment of that. but we also want to get to this, cohen testifying for the first time about his relationship to the president. the

enjoying their alone time, trump and kim jong-un. the one-on-one meeting went much longer than expected. we are somewhere in between this one-on-one meeting and expanded bilateral meeting. it right, president trump is meeting with secretary of state mike pompeo, and they are going to open up into this bigger, extended bilateral meeting, then the working lunch, then they are going to be signing some kind of joint agreement. at the big question is what exactly are they going to be signing? president trump certainly seem to be lowering expectations when he first sat down with a kim jong-un this morning. listen to this. >> i can't speak necessarily for today but i can say that it is a little bit longer term and over a period of time i know we will have a fantastic success with respect to chairman kim and north korea. i've been saying from the beginning that speed is not that important to me. i very appreciate testing nuclear rocket missiles, any of it. very much appreciated. >> though two leaders then took a walk around the pool at the h

kim is seeing that. vietnam shows the way a communist regime can stay in power as the same regime but transform the economy and benefit the country, benefit the people. that example we'll have to see what extent that works on him. if he sees a greater future for his own family, his own regime, his own family history in the sense of staying in power by opening up, it could cause a change of heart. i would doubt he has made that change ever heart yet. the point is, is his mind still open? that's what the president will need to be assessing. >> bill: if he goes with the former that would be a revolution literally. thank you, great to have you. we'll talk again throughout the week. michael anton in washington back to new york and more with sandra. >> sandra: good stuff, bill. thank you. meanwhile the president as the president continues his trip overseas back here at home on capitol hill michael cohen arrived just a short time ago talking to senate lawmakers behind closed doors. this is the beginning of a bi

it's a leader who does need kim jung-un does need some sort of wind here.g this trip down to vietnam traveling through china in a way reminiscent of the trip that his grandfather took before the outbreak of the vietnam war with the united states and interestingly object across the board that makes him look like a real diplomat as a general keen set of the chinese figured very large in these negotiations though they're not taking part in the discussion but let's face it, chinese were at war with the united states in the crib and for. ed: julie, own up on jonathan's point about kim jung-un nina victory what would be an armistice at the end of the korean war but never officially ended. if you can get an official and in president trump agrees to that might it opened the door to other concessions? reporter: it absolutely would. that is the big kahuna just like present job getting came to open up another nuclear facility would be a big deal. a lot of experts will tell you that just the fact the president trump taking the time and energy to travel overseas to meet

jong-un, and kim jong-un's approval. we're not dealing with a democracy there. so, you know, this is what you call a personal summit versus a plenary or political summit. and i think he realizes that that's the fulcrum. and i quite frankly think that kim jong-un also looks at us in that way. like trump's a different kind of president, and unless he deals detective directly with trump, nothing's going to happen. steve biegun was having difficulty getting any kind of traction. the north koreans wouldn't deal with him or couldn't deal credibly with him because everything has to be solved at the leader level. that's part of the problem here. personal summits are only going to get you so far. what i'm going to be interested to see, two things going forward. one, how do the north koreans react to this? we've seen trump. now we have to wait to see what comes out of the north korean press agency. number two, what is the next step in terms of discussions between the two teams? where, when, and at what level are they actually goin

kim jong un's negotiation position. at the heart of the matter for us right now is whether having a massive nuclear capability, it is kim jong un really interested in trading all of that? bartering it away for food and energy in the world economy? that remains an open question. >> bill: president trump probably has a better idea of that. and i think mike pompeo does too. >> we won't accept a bad deal. we are going to press ahead with a deal that suits our national security. >> bill: mike pompeo has said we are certainly closer today than we were months ago. how close do you think they really are? >> i still feel like we are pretty far away. there is a lot of work yet to be done. kim jong un has an expansive nuclear weapon capability. that is leaving aside his chemical and biological weapons, which are also concerns to us. we are on the right path. they have frozen the testing, and that is a good thing. now we will see if we can move ahead. i would look now maybe for the establishment of working groups so we can carry on

president trump and kim jong-un at the second summit here in hanoi. a side of the secretive north korean leader the world rarely sees, his aide falling behind, rushing to keep up. tonight inside the nuclear negotiations and fears before the two men meet alone. >>> and a blockbuster back home. michael cohen testifying on capitol hill, and a source telling nbc news he plans to detail alleged criminal conduct by the president while in office. >>> and late today, a congressman's apparent threat to air cohen's dirty laundry hours before he goes public. >>> controversy erupting over ivanka trump's comments when asked about congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez and her green new deal. what she said and how both women are responding tonight. >>> top executives from the biggest drug companies in america grilled over why we pay so much more here for prescriptions than people in other countries. >> i think that you charge more here because you can, and american taxpayers are subsidizing all of you. >>> trapped on a train for over 40 hours. the latest on a night

very significant for kim jong-un. kim's grandfather in 1964 came to vietnam.hearing that kim jong-un wants to retrace the steps of his grandfather. the north korean leader has not come to be a nonsense that visit in 1964. i believe one of the regrets that kim jong-un had is he never had a photo with his grandfather. 's grandfather died in 1994 when kim jong-un was just 10 years old. he is apparently retracing the steps. there were rumors he might go to the bay. we have not confirmed that. it is a busy day today for both the donald trump and kim jong-un. donald trump will also come here. he will probably drive past this main boulevard that goes past the presidential palace. there will be a photo op at 10:55 a.m. local time, 11:55 a.m. hong kong, followed by a president with the that 11:10 a.m. local time. then, there will be a working lunch with the prime minister in the prime minister's office which is a brand-new building just behind the presidential palace. a busy day for donald trump and kim jong-un. we are hearing kim jong-un might also pay his respects to

this for kim jong-un is a major moment. he doesn't leave his country, nobody from his country has had a chance to have a face-to-face with the american trump. it will be interesting to see whether president trump confronts the issue of human rights at all. kim jong-un has a long-demonstrated record of brutality in his country, of starving his citizens, of killing and assassinating his political enemies. and president trump has said really nothing about the human rights record these last several months in public. the question is whether he'll confront kim jong-un in private or will he brush that issue under the rug as we expect he may. >> that's an issue, tom donlon, that has been really brushed under the regular by the secretary of state and top leaders as they travel around the world, the embrace of erdogan, the embrace of leaders in china, except for trade issues. they have not been raising human rights issues. and again, we expect it will not be raised here. i'm also curious because of your long experience with china, yo

kim kim and -- kim jong un andi will try to work something on for denuclearization and making north korea an economic powerhouse. i believe cha, japan, south korea will be very helpful. ahead of all of this, president trump paying a courtesy call on his vietnamese host. the president eager to send a message to kim about vot vietnas success. >> we have a very big meeting planned tonight with north korea and chairman kim. i think it may he very well turn out to be very successful. it helps that it's in vietnam because you've shown something that the world is really getting to see, the incredible job that you've done in scree vietnam. lauren: vietnam is 12 hours ahead of u.s. eastern time zone. they are scheduled to meet 90 minutes from now. the sit-down will be followed by a social dinner. for more on this round two and if we can expect a breakthrough or a bust, let's bring in patrick cronein, the asia pacific chairman at the hudson institute whavment do you expect? >> i expect over the next 24 hours, the president to agree with chairman kim on a serious set of steps forward on this relatio

while chairman kim, we saw a side of him. he's fielded questions from reporters today perhaps for the very first time, certainly from western reporters. there's obviously not much of a media in north korea. you know, we saw the two men be very familiar with each other, but at the dinner last night -- of course, some reporters weren't allowed to do that. and again today as they took a walk at the hotel. they had a lengthy one-on-one meeting. there seem today be real optimism in the air, which is why this break down was so stunning. the white house were so confident that they were going to get something done that they had already arranged the event with were going to have the president deliver a triumphant news conference afterwards. that signing ceremony is canceled. the lunch between trump and kim canceled. we don't have the details yet as to what the break down from what senior aides in the white house are saying to me, the president today strong and was not willing to compromise, but we don't have details yet. but there's a

president trump said kim jong-un would do that. he would dismantle and destroy that complex, but he wanted too much in return. in other words he wanted all the sanctions destroyed. he said that facility, while it was big, wasn't enough. we had to have more than that. mike pompeo added there were other issues like timing, sequencing and what warheads and weapons would be left. so clearly a number of sticking points but interestingly the south koreans are bewilders by this. the strongest statement i've ever seen from the south korean government saying we are perplexed and interestingly president trump did not inform the south koreans either in advance or before his news conference. that would not have gone down well, guys, in seoul. >> we heard it in the news conference as well, the president saying when he gets on the plane he's going to be making a call. bill talking there that they weren't informed as to what went down with kim jong-un early on in the day. so all of this is coming as nbc news has learned that the trump administrat

all lies. >> did you ever tell kim pack you were in the military?er do a project for college and part of the project was you being in the military? >> yes. >> and what you went through? >> yes. >> and that you carried bodies? >> yes. >> and the torture that you had gone through -- >> yes. >> did you ever tell anyone that you were a green beret? >> yes. >> who did you tell? >> i don't recall how many people i told. >> so, he created this background that didn't even really exist. >> that is correct. once you start examining someone who is bold enough to engage in stolen valor, you start realizing that there are other aspects to this man's life that would require us to investigate. >> but in that deposition, dr. kauffman has his own theories about who may have killed his wife. >> who do you think did it? >> i thought it could be someone who was one of the veterans. the last choice was that it was someone in a motorcycle gang. >> what motorcycle gang? >> the pagans. >> the pagan motorcycle gang? remember, april had a penchant for motorcycles. could that

asia coming up on the program no deal donald trump heads home after he fails to see eye to eye with kim jong un we talk to a specialist with insider knowledge of the difficulties of the needle rising a country plus. building bridges with basketball can soft diplomacy achieve what trump and can push not and. the pakistani military releases footage of the indian soldier they captured in kashmir but it doesn't show the full story. i'm melissa chan welcome to the program it's good to have you with us u.s. president donald trump and north korea's kim jong un have not reached a deal and annoy it's a reminder of how difficult denuclearization is no matter how many and you go weapons are concerned north korea is thought to have a fairly small arsenal an estimated ten to twenty warheads compare that to the number the u.s. or russia has more than six thousand so it's not just about the number of nukes it's about who can launch them and washington has made it clear it does not view the kim dynasty as safe stewards of the weapons the u.s. wants pyongyang to fully disclose and dismantle all parts of

international so the first trouble kim summit was criticized by many in the u.s. for a lack of concrete results can we expect more from the hanoi meeting. well the nature of two meetings is quite different and i think critics who complain that nothing concrete came out of the first meeting are deliberately distorting the nature of the meeting as a means of discouraging diplomacy so that first meeting was only intended for both kim and trump to set out. a statement of intent of which direction they want to go in this diplomatic endeavor the second meeting is. more in the nature of negotiations so i do expect something concrete to come out of this diplomat diplomatic sources who are close to the ongoing negotiations that are leading up to this summit. have said that. there are the differences are being narrowed between the two sides so we may see some kind of concrete agreement coming out of this so that's good news indeed so trump has suggested north korea could get huge economic investment in return for giving up nukes do you think kim will go for that idea. oh i

kim jong-un, chairman kim jong-un has misjudged trump that president trump was so eager for foreign policy success that he was willing to sign on to anything. and kim probably thought in the singapore summit, because president trump agreed to scrap the joint military exercises with south korea, without coordinating with south korea, that he could get a big concession out of trump in hanoi as well. so i do think they misjudged each other. and i think it's going to be a long road ahead. where do we go from here? we still don't have an agreed upon definition on denuclearization. we don't have an agreement on the road map, timeline. and we just met -- they met each other at the highest level. where do we go from here? it's going to be difficult road ahead of us. >> admiral, i want to come back to you on that. let me bring in jonathan who is with me in vietnam. you've been traveling with the president, part of the pool. there's an interesting moment where we got a glimpse. kim jong-un is incredibly reclusive. here he is in an unprecedented move taking questions from u.s. journalists. this is so

donald trump basically thinks kim jong-un is like him in the sense that kim jong-un will respond to flattery. so there he is, basically, saying all sorts of nice things about this north korea dictator and thinking he's going to change his mind, thinking he's going to relinquish something his country has worked decades to achieve these nuclear weapons which obviously keep the regime in place, keep him on the world stage. and if you're donald trump, you think somehow these love letters that they sent back and forth will change the calculus, but he's learning that's not the case. >> that's the power you've seen from the president several times, not just with the north korean dictator but also with putin himself, the russian president, mohamed saham. he also called it a brutal regime, and i'm wondering why he would take kim jong-un at his word. this is something that republicans will have to address when we speak to them later today. >> it's a slap in the face to an american family who lost their son. that's what it is to the president of the united states. the president said he watched some, as

only when she checked around did kim jong un emerge. she is kim jong un's sister.s increasingly and quietly at the forefront of her older brother's charm offensive. >> she's there giving in best in terms of how he can handle big meetings, the press, what to do. so she is all of the above, pncp.r. person, substance person and making sure her brother is complete l completely protected. >> reporter: from handing her brother an ashtray and meeting with president trump and meeting with mike pompeo, she seems to be everywhere for her brother. one diplomat said she sees it as a positive move he is being drawn closer. >> she comes from the same mother and it's somebody that he has grown up with that he feels very comfortable with and trusts implicitly. >> she sled north korea's delegation to the winter olympics last year where the regime unveiled its diplomatic offensive to the world. >> she acquitted herself quite well at the opening ceremonies as opposed to vice president pence who basically tried to avoid having any eye contact with the north koreans whatsoever. >> repo

chairman kim. >> i asked chairman kim, would it be possible to do that. >> reporter: who the president get rid of nuclear weapons, faces new allegations of grotesque brutality against his own people. stories of executions and torture, detailed by those who once lived under the regime, before fleeing. this man says he defected after spending ten years in a concentration camp. he says, witnesses told him that at one execution in 2013, two men closely tied to kim jong-un's uncle, who the dictator distrusted, were brought in front of a firing squad of eight anti-aircraft guns. the men, the defector said, had lumps of iron stuffed into their mouths. he says kim's uncle was forced to watch his colleagues murdered. >> translator: they let it fire against these two people. these two people instantly just disappeared. all the blood, it poured into his face. he was forced to witness them. he fainted. >> reporter: kim's uncle would be executed later that year, also allegedly with an anti-aircraft gun. accounts come as part of a report released today by an organization led by kang. the group which

i sincerely doubt kim cares about that. what he does care about is a verifiable, viable currency to pay his military. if you can't keep your military happy, it does you no good as a tyrant. they need hard currency. that's the symbolism of vietnam matters to trump. it was a genius idea to bring kim here, look what can happen when we normalize relations just a bit. >> sean: most importantly, any real deal has to be verifiable, it's got to be inspections on demand, no closed off areas, and they've got to show real progress in terms of taking down the nuclear threat. >> they do. what democrats don't want to admit is there's been progress already and that president trump inherited this problem from barack obama. when president trump came to office, the threshold crossed by the north crekoreans that led president trump to take all this heat, rocket and fury raining down from the u.s. military, kim jong-un had passed the threshold of getting a nuclear weapon and putting it in a missile and could potentially reach boston, new york,
