and the kim family. every hard currency earning enterprise, the money goes into office 39 and the decided what to use with the money, including payoffs to his cronies. in north korea, although there aren't that many embe as overseesy when you have an embassy in london or paris you only paid a meager salary and they're told, go out and make money in the black market. what do these north koreans diplomat does? they bring in forged super bank notes, hundred dread dollar bills, sell them on the black market for the fraction of the price. they sill liquor which they pie duty-free and sell it. liquor, cigarettes, superdollar notes and traffic in drugs and human smuggling because not only do they have to raise money for their own mission in city x, they have to give a portion of that to the great leader. every north korean diplomat doesn't write cables. they're busy raising money on the black market and hence proliferation of black markets in places where they work. it's very sad. for example a friend of minimu

i've got a bigger nuclear button then kim jong-un and kim jong-un said i will blow up the white house. it went on. people were very scared and i know friends back in south korea, american samoa preparing for some type of an exit if there was a major crisis. so it took me until the summer of 2017 the book was published last week. one of the key message i want to get from this book and i guess there were a number of motivations for me and the first is that i wanted to describe, not just kim jong-un in the top leadership but to give the american people a sense of what the regime was about and you hear snippets from cnn or fox news and you see this guy with the funny haircut with nuclear weapons but it's also a very poor country yet most people who are not really specialists don't really know all that much about north korea. i wanted to give a broader picture. i think for me as a korean and today being veterans day, as you recall, 38,000 americans died in the korean war. that broke up in 1950¥3. i remember several years back i wrote i, i think in the wall street journal, commemorating the

the external pressure can and contributed this condition, but as it now stands, in kim kim's calculushe needs nuclear weapons for survival and to support his blackmail democracy and ultimate objective, which is of course unification of the korean peninsula under the domination of what i like to call "the guerrilla dynasty." that is of course in order to ensure regime survival. someleads to the second of sugared we see no evidence kim has abandoned the seven decades use tension and coercion and the use of force to achieve unification. we assume he will not give this up in response to the current or any policy. kim believes the conditions will be right when the u.s. alliance is ended and u.s. forces are removed from the korean peninsula and extended to terms in the nuclear umbrella over south korea and japan are eliminated. this is also the description of both the security guarantee that as aemands and -- as all definition of u.s. hostile policy. must be-u.s. alliance viewed through the regime -- through the lens of the regime strategy. on the one hand, the shared values of the iraq-u.s

usually, david helped kim with the kids in the evening, but on this night he was late and he knew kim wouldn't be happy about that. >> they gotta get their homework done before they went to bed. and i thought, "she's gonna be upset when i get home 'cause i'm not there to help." >> reporter: as he rolled into his driveway, he clicked the garage door opener. a nightmare awaited him. >> once the -- the garage door raised up just above the hood of my truck, that's when i saw kim. >> she was down on the garage floor? >> yeah, actually at first i thought it was jill lying there. i didn't realize it was kim until i got outta my truck and ran into the garage. and then that's when i -- i saw that it was kim. >> how do you take this in? it's too much to absorb. >> it's indescribable, you know, what was going through my mind at the time. i can't put it into words. >> reporter: kim was still, bent slightly at the waist, a long pool of blood running from her head. the doors to her bronco were open. >> when do you look into the vehicle? >> i don't remember how long it was, but after checking on kim

this is in the kim family dna. an escapee wrote to president trump to provide advice on h how -- to figure out an acceptable and durable political arrangement that will protect, serve and advance u.s. and iraq-u.s. alliance in east asia. it has to determine the ways and means to achieve that goal. these must include new, international diplomatic efforts, diplomatic enhancements and defense and offense and enhance sanctions enforcement and a robust information and influence activities campaign including a strong focus on human rights. the iraq-u.s. strategy working group must develop a plan b or m maximum pressure 2.0 that kim jong-un may never agree to denuclearize and may always i le to highlight some of the key concepts and recommendations from each power described in a report. we are recommending the pressure to bono strategy and want to get every chance through the policy to work and we support the u.s. effort to influence kim to make the rights to a decision and returned to a brighter future. this must be done

and kim jong-un.t the beginning of the year, there was optimism on both sides there might be some kind of diplomatic solution to this crisis and now as kristen holmes is saying things seem to be falling apart. what is your take what is happening now and especially from the white house point of view. does it seem north korea is a priority even with the things happening with the impeachment proceedings? >> they are not a priority. good to see you this morning. i looked in my records today and said, when was the first time i talked to you two about north korea saying i was skeptical? and that first time was in for those of us with short memories, that was in june of 2018 when the president first had his very first summit with king jong unand many of us who watched this part of the world said this was not gnoing to work because the kim regime relies on their missile systems and as part of their regime dynamics. they won't give it us because they realize if they they will lose their capability to run the r

it was sort of a threat from kim jong un, kim jong un is maniacal. the secretary of defense didn't want to respond to that, dismissed that as just an exaggeration from kim jong un and it doesn't seem to be worried about that. arthel: i think president trump is trying to keep things -- keep a cool head. kim jong un's cool head if you could by saying i have a great relationship with him. i think they're trying to keep that from blowing -- getting out of control. let's talk about syria in my last minute or so with you. that was brought up by brett and he asked if -- has the administration put turkey in a position that has disadvantaged the u.s. in any way and the secretary esper said no, turkey put turkey in a position that's bad for them, in spinning themselves out of the nato orbit. what do you think about that? >> i thought that was a fascinating comment from the secretary of defense. it was very insightful. i think he's right about that, to put the onus on turkey. turkey engaged in this action in northeastern syria. it's been a accused of engaging i

hello welcome to the show i'm sam is a than north korean leader kim jong un has called for positive and offensive measures to protect the country's security and sovereignty that's ahead of a year end deadline he sent for the u.s. to soften its position on stalled talks aimed at pyongyang dismantling its nuclear and missile programs kim also warned during a ruling workers' party meeting that he may take an unspecified new path if washington fails to act u.s. military commanders say that could include testing a long range missile something north korea hasn't done since 2017 but macbride explains. north korean leader kim jong un has over the past couple of days being chairing a special plenary session of the workers' party of korea there have not been too many details coming out about what's been discussed apart from these vague references to new offensive measures being considered but of course this is all the build up to kim jong un's new year's day address when he normally lays out the way ahead for his country for the coming year and of course it may give us an indication of what he me

howie: right, you see that reflected in the sort of rehashes on holiday week, kim strassel said, well, maybe pelosi wants roll it off much of 2020. by and large, the story has been, i mean, this is the story has been the media's engine starting with russia, going onto ukraine, impeachment, you've made the point on occasion, is impeachment in par, leaving aside tactics because public opinion is frozen. >> public opinion is frozen related to the quality of this particular issue, it's not just opinion has been frozen for a few weeks or a few months, it's been frozen the spring of this year, before the ukraine phone call even took place and it really is kind of a stunning show of the lack of power that the media have, if all the media decided that they were going to push a particular story it would have moved opinion and this is under covered because it's embarrassing for the media and they all have been pushing for many years, it's not moving public opinion. howie: doesn't that conflict with earlier observation that the media propertied -- pushed for impeachment? >> nancy pelosi didn't w

right now i think kim put himself into a corner.lder guys from his father and grandfather. they will hold his feet to the fire on this. one of the reasons kim has been oh provocative in his language. he has to prove to them he's as good as his word. >> i mention china. china pushing him across the yalu river. there is the black market. but china and their economy, it's a leverage game here. here is peter navarro earlier today on fox news talking about the china deal. >> all we are waiting for on the china deal is to translate the english version of the 86-page deal into the chinese version. that's a done deal, we'll probably have a signing in the next week or so. we are just waiting for the translation. david: phase one, then he talks about phase two. what's your take? >> we have a fact sheet from a u.s. trade representative. when that 86 panels comes out there will be and lot of people meeting that in the fine detail. china made a lot of promises in the past. but they have not complied. what might be different is there are some tar

over the weekend, kim jong un did meet with top military officials. he is quoted as saying in state media that north korea needs to bolster the military, the armed forces in this crucial and turbulent time. south of the dmz, a bit of propagation from the u.s.-south korean side. images published of a special forces exercise conducted about a month ago. looking a bit like what's been called decapitation drills. they are the ones aimed at potentially taking out north korea's leadership. south korean president moon was in beijing today needing with chinese president xi. both sides promising to maintain momentum. beijing has proposed some sanctions be eased on north korea, something the u.s. does not approve of. president trump, north korean leader kim jong un met twice this year but talks are going nowhere. the last tweet we have heard from president trump was saying kim is too smart, too much to lose to act in a hostile way. julie, the next couple days might indicate whether in fact kim jong un is smart or not. back to you. >> julie: okay. greg palkot, t

>> i think what it will take is basically a cutoff of money to kim.e cut off maybe 50% of north korea's international flow of funds. what we need to do is go after another 45%. if we do that, kim is faced with a choice, give up his weapons or give up power. no american president has put a kim leader in that position. we haven't had the political will. the question is whether president trump is willing to spend the political capital to do that. >> why would he have to give up power if he chooses not to comply? >> it would be if the north koreans didn't give up their weapons, we would just cut off all the money and go after the chinese banks and basically make it impossible for kim to rule. kim needs money, not only for detonating nukes and haunlaunch missiles but also for gift politics. that's how he buys loyalty. if he can't do that, he's in trouble. we could make him face that position of keep your weapons but keep power, but you're not going to have both. >> thank you for your insights. >>> after calling out the lack of diversity in the 2020 democra

kim jong-un slept with a basketball at boarding school in switzerland. tender, half-page portrait before we realize that when he grows up, he becomes someone else. is he now a full-on sociopath? and talk a bit about his -- how he came to be. >> yeah. i think, you know, there is a tendency to view kim jong-un as this madman. a total nut job as donald trump once said. but in fact, while he did have a very abnormal childhood. he was treated like a little prince. he grew up in this very decadent environment. he didn't show himself to be a sociopath like from an early age. he was -- you know, he was a spoiled brat. but he wasn't torturing kittens or doing anything that we might see as evidence of future, you know, craziness. and, you know, i think that his time in switzerland, far from convincing him that he should, you know, eventually take his own country down this kind of liberal, democratic path. probably proved to him that if it wasn't for north korea and that fantastical state his family created, he would just be no one. he would be another normal kid s

kim jong-un wanted to have a year end deal. bolton was blown through. but what i think one place for the president may be a little confined is the idea that if there is a test of an intercontinental ballistic missile that that would somehow break the bonds of trust that the president and kim jong-un developed over those 2 1/2 summits. so there is a lot we likely don't know about the diplomacy behind the scenes. remember, they've been writing each other either you can call them actual diplomatic letters or the president refers to them as more of love letters, almost the back and forth to each other. and if the president continues to have faith in his ability to do this i suspect the strategy will remain the same. and that is hope for a breakthrough at some summit yet to be announced, yet to be determined. and then you get into the tricky process of verification and how you unwind the maximum pressure campaign that the president initially put in. david? >> and there is the hope on one hand that he is laying out. the other hand if

>> first of all, relationships don't matter to kim leaders. kim jong-un could love president trump. it won't make any difference in north korea policy. what trump has been doing since the middle of may of last year is trying to create this space as secretary of state pompeo has talked about, sort of make kim feel secure enough to give up his weapons. well, kim leaders don't reciprocate gestures of friendship. what they do is they press advantage, and that's what kim has done. and what trump needs to do right now is to go back and sanction the north koreans so they don't have money for nukes, they don't have money for ballistic missile launches, and they don't have money for gift politics, which is the buying of loyalty from senior regime elements by giving them mercedes, watches, other luxury items. >> if the approach doesn't change in 2020 and the steps you're outlining here aren't taken or anything like them aren't taken, where do you expect north korea will be a year from now? >> well, they'll be much further down the road in their arsenals but i do expect them to do something pr

the mountain too is steeped in kim family lore so by going there, like this, kim jong-un is signalinghat he's contemplating a big decision that likely has to do with the united states. president trump in london seemed to threaten kim jong-un. >> we have the most powerful military we've ever had, and hopefully we don't have to use it, but if we do, we'll use it. >> reporter: president trump has met kim jong-un three times, most recently and most dramatically the president stepped in to north korean territory. in exchange for diplomacy, north korea has scaled back the testing of its most powerful weapons but north korean officials say the country won't play political games anymore that benefit president trump domestically while no progress has been made to lift economic sanctions on north korea. apparently feeling used as a political prop, a north korean america may expect, quote, a christmas gift, interpreted to mean either a missile or even a nuclear test lester >> richard engel tonight, thank you >>> this evening, nearly 700,000 people in this country are on the verge of losing food

i have a very good relationship with kim jong-un. >> kim jong-un is threatening a christmas surprise for the world. >> oh, that's okay. we'll find out what the surprise is and we'll deal with it very successfully. maybe it's a nice present. maybe it's a present where he sends me a beautiful vase. as opposed to a missile test. right? i may get a vase. >> and more recently it looks like north korea is rejecting trump's desires for another summit. north korea's foreign minister advisor told state media that, "erer no longer interests in such talks that bring nothing to us." back with us tonight, gordon shane, columnist for the "daily beast" and author of nuclear showdown: north korea takes on the world. gordon, thanks for joining us. let's take stock at the end of the year. have all of these missile tests, various missile tests throughout the year, you have trump looking the other way on them. as all of this has been playing out at the end of 2019, how has north korea's position changed in terms of its nuclear program this year? >> north korea's made a lot of progress both on ballistic

kim is demanding the u.s.ase up on economic sanctions by the end of the year, in return, the north said it would abandon its nuclear arsenal. we have been talking about boris johnson celebrating a stunning election victory, but another leader scored an emphatic win yesterday, nicola sturgeon of the scottish national party. her party secured 4859 available seats in scotland. that promises had three meetingr but that has not provided a breakthrough. kim to set up every new class about the future of the u.k. from the jefferson is with us from edinburgh. let's start with what the signals. this was seen as a cause i referendum on brexit, and a clear feeling in scotland about brexit. how much of it is that, how much of it is independence? >> i think the two come together in so far as it is about scotland having its rights to decide its own future. this boat, as you mentioned, the , iseats at the s&p won definitely a shot in the arm for that. maybe not for independents, per se, but for the right to hold another indep

he's really embracing chairman kim as a good friend. it was irreversible and certifiable denuclearization. the goal, he's continuing to develop arsenals and now he's threatening another provocation. it was no accident that t john bolton blasted the president in north korea. this is a simmer in crisis which the administration have not had a response. he's hoping it will be a beautiful letter and not an actual missile test that he has to try to explain away or buy time for. >> ryan, and finally, the fact that john bolton spoke out about north korea really underscores the absurdity of him not speaking out about what he knows about ukraine. they were talking about something momentous. we had his own aid testifying, he called the maneuvers underway to pressure ukraine a drug deal. he instructed his closest advisors. he had information that's relevant to the senate consideration of this and yet while he feels comfortable talking about north korea, you know he has not come forward on this. there is many career diplomats, despite the white hous

what we have seen is coercion kim-style. kim is trying to coerce president trump to lift sanctions. he's been slowly pumping the envelope in doing more provocative tests over a series of time. short-range tests, preparing for a satellite launch, seeing what he can get away with president trump. she testing these weapons and the president trump's resolve. president trump has really not responded definitively to these provocations by kim so it certainly looks like president trump is bluffing. we all know north korea is a foreign policy quote/unquote success that president trump points to on the campaign trail and we're going into an election year, of course. >> really quick, david, because, look, this has been a problem, north korea that has spanned administrations. >> that is one thing very clear. obama did not make progress. did not fix or solve the problem. i read with great interest in your piece that you are hearing from senior foreign policy officials and military folks and they're saying they're bracing for possibly the most serious cycle of this crisis. yet, why is that? >> be

relationship with kim jong-un. we both want to keep it that way. he knows i have an election coming up. i don't think he wants to interfere with that. we'll have to see. the relationship is very good. but there are certain hostility, no question about it. >> he says he doesn't think kim wants to interfere in the 2020 election. what do you think about that? >> well, he wants to pressure the president who is up for re-election in a year. i think the mistake that we have made is we've given kim jong-un three big summits with little substance. the first one was good. the president made the right move in reaching out to kim jong-un but the last two meetings haven't gone well and the north koreans have spoil themselves. they only want to negotiate with the president even though we have some capable negotiators. steven begun, trying to get the north koreans to find a balance in a negotiation maybe lifting some sanctions. in exchange for denuclearization. i'm not reciting the u.s. position. i'm just saying that i think the

kim jong-un is willing to make a deal.is willing to ultimately give up his weapons. freezing the program, rolling it back would be substantial gains. we could see where that would lead. he never followed it up. the problem isn't meeting with kim jong-un, the problem is not having a diplomatic team in place and a vision for an actual plan to go step by step. >> this is what everybody said the meeting is a break through if there is something on the table that lead to something. >> that has never happened. have we lost the momentum because there was no follow up to dissuade north korea from continuing on with its ways? >> we v. and the real mark there whereas the hanoi summit. this is remember i was in the studio covering this in the wee hours of the morning in and this abruptly ended where apparently trump cancelled the lunch he was supposed to have with kim jong-un and the signing ceremony for the statement that was supposed to be signed. the reason apparently ission bolton had convinced the president he had to make an all
