the border has become even more tightly controlled since kim jong un took over as supreme leader two years ago, the third ruler in the kim dynasty after his father and grandfather. he inherited the world's most isolated country, where the people have no internet and the state has almost total control on any information coming in or out. even with the tight security, jiro and his japanese news organization manage to get the footage out. narrator: he is going to meet one of his contacts, who has made it across the border with new images from north korea. narrator: they secretly film in areas no foreigners or journalists are allowed to visit. narrator: these are pictures kim jong un doesn't want the world to see. jiro has recruited a network of ordinary north koreans living in towns across the country. they risk their lives to get the footage. one of his contacts is a state employee, but has been smuggling footage out for five years. he agreed to speak if his identity was concealed. (translated): this is dangerous, and if i get caught, i know i'd immediately be executed as a traitor to t

i think that sends a strong signal to kim jong-un. the other thing is, his cooperation, hopefully with allowing these companies in doing business with north korea helping us put sanctions on the company secondarily to where they are excluded from the american or world financial banks. this is something he can come and help us with. if you look at what he has done previous to this, he was retaliating against south korea for their acceptance of the thad system in south korea. he was punishing the wrong korea. he should be going after north korea and helping us come together. he has done a good thing by preventing any more of the export of coal from north korea to china. let's hope he stays true to his word on that and that they help us bring this is a peaceful resolve. >> congressman, stand by. there is much more to discuss. we will resume our conversation right after this. >>> we're back with congressman ted yo with florida. one of the republican lawmakers who is facing angry constituents at some town haul events. congressman, i know y

isis, vladimir putin or kim jong-un. >> kim jong-un, because i'm korean. judge jeanine: which one would you rather have a beer with. "justice" starts now. i'm judge jeanine pirro. mayor case in trouble. they are trying to silence you. a monstrous and pervasive movement is putting the first amendment and your free speech. the most basic and fundamental tenets of our nation at risk and in danger of extinction. whether you are on the left or the right, free speech is essential to our democracy. the reason the country was found. the prone people risk so much, even die to come here. yet as you sit there you are watching a silencing in real-time. where people are not allowed to express their opinion if it does not align with the thinking of others. this is not an esoteric or academic discussion about one person or one campus. it's happening all over. and it's putting us on a course where we are in danger of becoming a fascist totalitarian so sight where there is only one accepted point of view. no other will be tolerated. and it's time to fight back. this week c

they don't like kim jong-un. i've been in many meetings where president xi speaks very disrespectfully. i've spoken to the chinese ambassador to the six-party talks many times. they don't like him. they're trying to find a solution. my view, though, is that trump has kind of done the right thing here by stepping up the pressure. the carrier group and the signaling china with the strike on syria. but we have to take advantage of that pressure now and work with china to find a joint solution with north korea. china wants this solved too. there's no question about that. what we have not been sufficiently creative. i think the past practice of strategic patience was wrong. it was naive frankly. u.s. policy has been feckless. we haven't been focused on the real problem here. but now the strategic patience is gone. we're working on a new reality here, which is a new reality about kim jong-un. we have to take advantage of the tension now and the additional pressure, working with china to find a solution. there's no solu

father and kim jong-un himself, they want legitimacy. they want to be seen as a member of that nuclear club and having big brother china, as you called china, say cool your jets is not necessarily what kim jong-un wants to hear. he does not want multi lateral talks. he wants one on one bilateral talks with countries and powers like the united states with china and others, but he is not getting that right now. with regard to getting into that club, if he has the 13 to 30 nuclear warheads that recent estimates have been put out that andrea mitchell was telling us in the last hour, this is a marked difference in just six to seven years ago when the estimation was only four to eight nuclear weapons. again, these need to be attached to delivery devices and therefore weaponizing these nuclear bombs, but they have not an able to do that and this failed missile test shows how they have not been able to put one plus one together. do you see that happening soon because what has been said here is each and every missile test that fails is still a wi

basically saying to kim jong-un don't do this. and kim jong-un saying i'm going to do this.t's your thought on how important now or how effective china might be in going forward in keeping jkim jong-un in line? >> this is really an in your face response from kim jong-un. this is a grave insult to the chinese. 48 hours ago they called on all parties to calm down for good reason. the rhetoric on both sides, the military maneuvers on both side, were leading us to the greater crisis we've had in the korean peninsula since 1994 when we almost went to war over the u.s. efforts to try to stop north korea's tests and their program then. the chinese are very concerned. this is the latest insult that kim jong-un has given them. you see the rhetoric in the chinese press ratcheting up on this. there's been statements that the chinese should attack the north korean nuclear facilities. so the chinese are angry. they want north korea to stop and they are citie siding more the united states, but that he ever never going to take the complete shutdown of the country that will cause the collap

you see, even the half-brother of north korean believe kim jong-nam was assassinated. a public place like the airport. >> how did you react to that? >> at the time i heard the story i was not surprised at all. >> do you think kim jong-un ordered his death? >> definitely, yes. >> do you think he wants your death? >> yes. >> you think he wants to kill you? >> yes. kim jong-un is a man with the character that anything no matter whether it is a country or human being, you know, should be eliminated if a country or human being pose a kind of threat to him. >> in the united states, we would say you're a marked man. >> i'm sure i'm already a marked man. >> a short while later, away from the crowds, thae talked about the horrible price of his betrayal. >> your decision would also impact people you love. you have a brother and a sister still in north korea. what is your expectation as to what has happened to them? >> i cannot definitely say to which place my family members were sent, but one thing i am sure is that they may have been sent to either to remote areas or labor camp

if this is part of that pattern, what does kim jong-un want? >> yeah. >> so senator, i don't think it's any longer a part of -- the pattern of his grandfather and his father. so as you correctly stated, in the past, they have gone into this provocation cycle i've talked about a lot in hawaii, where there's a provocation, there's a negotiation and there's a concession. peaceful for a while, and then the cycle starts again. i think kim jong-un has elevated that to a cycle of provocation, provocation and provocation. and what he is seeking is his own independent nuclear deterrent in order to threaten the united states i don't think it's any longer a part of the pattern of his grandfather and his father. so as you correctly stated, in the past, they've gone to this provocation cycle. i've talked about it a lot in hawaii where there's a provocation, there's a negotiation and there's a concession. peace for a while and then the cycle starts again. i think kim jong-un has elevated that to a cycle of provocation, provocation, provocation. what he is se

it is not worth in deterring kim jong un. l of the military capabilities that we have, all of our alliance and all that has not desire toim jong un's achieve a nuclear weapon that could reach the united states. we must stop that somehow. those options are on the table. all of this options are on the table. >> somehow is the question. i see i am out of time. we can continue this conversation later. that is precisely the question we are asking about. i'm asking a question about the upsides and downsides if we take action directly on one of these testing missiles, whether or not it escalates and this is koreaation to have south -- >> he can manufacture whatever provocation he wants to attack south korea or japan or us. provocationure of resides with him. i think we need the administration to be clear about what they have in mind. he rightly say this is under discussion but what that means to me at this point is no one knows exactly what we plan to do here and if no one knows here in the united states, the american people do not k

that's what we heard ina —— kim jong—un.ment yesterday, that they we re in a statement yesterday, that they were open to negotiations and they wa nted were open to negotiations and they wanted a path to dialogue. that's what these sanctions are all about. interestingly what has also come out from this interview is that china has told the us that it told pyongyang it would impose sanctions if kim jong—un pyongyang it would impose sanctions if kimjong—un did another pyongyang it would impose sanctions if kim jong—un did another nuclear test. that is new information and that suggests that in porton meeting between president xi and president trump in mar—a—lago just last between president xi and president trump in mar—a—lagojust last month may have yielded results when it comes to china putting the pressure on north korea. fascinating as you say, laura, a lot of revelations in that report, the interview that rex tillerson gave to fox news. as we know, much depends on trying to convince china and if indeed those comments he made

arthel: what does kim jong-un do next? double down with even more to prove his own strong message to send? >> he could do another missile test or nuclear test. that's what we were waiting for friday or saturday night. i think he uses these as political messages, but they are technical developments. he sent a clear message with the parade and rev systems on friday night. they will were we have been discussing this morning, what if it is discovered that the u.s. went on offense with the cyber attack that caused that north core treian missile failure and how do you think kim jong-un would react if that is revealed to be the case? >> i hope it wouldn't be discovered because we would not be able to continue to use that particular method. i think kim jong-un would be very upset. i'm sure he's very upset with the launch failure. i think the missile technicians are probably also very upset about what's going to happen to them unfortunately. i think that the u.s. going on offense is a good idea. these are ballistic missile systems

in a place like north korea, you can't out crazy kim jong-un. the idea of floating a preemptive strike like happened this week probably scared the heck out of our allies in seoul and no clear articulated strategy for what comes next. that's what i think is troubling to the public and most of all troubling to trump's own supporters. mike shields, brian fallon and michael allen, thank you for joining me this morning. >> thanks. >>> still to come, protesters are gathering in cities across the country. they're demanding that donald trump release his tax returns. this as tax day is quickly approaching.

still, the status quo that has gingerly maintained peace is threatened as kim jong-un races towards a nuclear weapon capability. it raises the question what about seoul and the think it will reign thousands of artillery rounds on this metropolitan but won't go unpunished. >> this is a robust response not only american but south korean troops working hand-in-hand. >> reporter: the u.s. warplane is to quickly overwhelm and knock out the north's artillery threat. mobile radar units like this will track the incoming rounds from their source even before they land. you can't shoot what you can't see? >> exactly. >> reporter: this allows you to see what's coming at you? >> yes, sir. >> reporter: the eyes of a sophisticated response. >> you can track the rounds simultaneously? >> yes, sir. >> reporter: that's a lot. the mobile rocket system is the fangs of the response who quickly aim and fire right back at the source. >> this is a very important thing for us to go over and rehearse as many times in different scenarios as possible. >> reporter: this is what it would look like for real. the fa

manning you're kim jong-un. we find him difficult and interpret. i would imagine the same goes for hip looking at the united states. there is a real danger of him being misunderstood and miscalculating. that's what a lot of people are worried about. >>> if kim jong-un can't tell where the white house is going to go, does that make him less like i to move because he's afraid of a threat or a bomb hitting his country? >> i think we'll to have see where that plays out. the reality is if he doesn't understand what our policy is, what our main concerns are, there is a real prediction he will do things we don't like. then a real risk this white house takes step that's are not expected by not only kim jong-un but our partners. if they are not keeping our partners briefed on what our approach is, there is a risk, whatever step we take we take by ourselves. >> and it is notable that they will not draw any red lines. president trump has said that crossed many lines for him. the kept snake syria. i think if you were looking f clarity from sean spicer onha mik

we want to bring kim jong un to his senses, not to his knees. we are also to challenge the indo pacific with the revenge of china and the revengist russia. china continues a strategy to control the south china sea. i testified last year that china was militarizing this critical international waterway by building bases on seven chinese man-made islands in the disputed groups. despite subsequent chinese assurances at the highest levels that they would not militarize these bases, today they have these facilities that support long-range weapons and placement of radio towers, barracks for their troops. china's militarization of the south china sea is real. i am also not taking my eyes off of russia. they flew bomber missions near alaska. it was the first since 2014. russia continues to modernize exercises itsnd considerable conventional and nuclear forces in the pacific. so despite the region's four significant challenges, it is my last word to you that we strengthen alliances and partnerships, working with like-minded partners on shared security thr

when talking about kim jong-un, it's fair to say he just ain't right. he thinks in the terms of publicity and showing off. so when he sees tomahawks hitting syria and moabs hitting afghanistan, he's not getting much attention. he has this big parade and military exercise and the 105th birthday of his grandfather. then he decide to light the candle on a missile and show us how tough he is. on problem is the missile blows up on the pad. this is a guy we have to take seriously. he's seriously delusional and seriously crazy. and that makes him a threat just not to south korea, but the entire planet. >> with all of the show of the intercontinental ballistic missile and the goose stepping and all of the craziness and the excitement. whether it would show whether it was real, it seems as though he would have to prove something. the failure of the missile launch. and earlier gregg palkot seemed to suggest the failure may have been due to cyber warfare interference which i thought was fascinating that hasn't quite yet been confirmed. but there is an attempt by t

they don't like kim jong-un. i've been in many meetings where president xi speaks very disrespectfully. i've spoken to the chinese ambassador to the six-party talks many times. they don't like him. they're trying to find a solution. my view, though, is that trump has kind of done the right thing here by stepping up the pressure. the carrier group and the signaling china with the strike on syria. but we have to take advantage of that pressure now and work with china to find a joint solution with north korea. china wants this solved too. there's no question about that. what we have not been sufficiently creative. i think the past practice of strategic patience was wrong. it was naive frankly. u.s. policy has been feckless. we haven't been focused on the real problem here. but now the strategic patience is gone. we're working on a new reality here, which is a new reality about kim jong-un. we have to take advantage of the tension now and the additional pressure, working with china to find a solution. there's no solu

there is the current leader, kim jong—un, who il—sung.nuclear test or potentially a missile test today, to coincide with this celebration. now, saturday does mark the so—called date of the sun. that is the anniversary of the founder's birth, the grandfather of the current leader, kim jong—un. north korea, it should be said, has seen a ratcheting up of tensions with the us in the recent week, but north korea, it should be said, is still technically at war with the south after their conflict back in the 1950s. that ended with a truce, but not a treaty, crucially, so those two countries are still very much on guard and that is why there isa much on guard and that is why there is a lot of worry in the south, in seoul, but also in many countries around the world, that there will be potentially a nuclear test or a missile test which is designed to carry a nuclear warhead. that of course is causing great concern to many countries, because of the unknown, really, about what is going to happen, and what north korea is actually capable of. and many

now, the question comes, since it was a failure, will kim jong-un try again.o people in north korea know about it? the answer is know. it will not be reported in korean state media. they don't report atheir test unless they're successful and there's a propaganda value of telling the north korea people about it. >> about the military parade you witnessed on saturday, can you explain why from the north korean point of view, these demonstrations are so important? and what is it like to be an eyewitness, standing there next to the military machines and the thousands and thousands of soldiers and supporters as they march past. >> i know you've experienced this firsthand, ivan. it is something very special to north korea. but china's military parade is also an impressive spectacle. but north korea has the military parades down. they do it almost better than anywhere else in the world, in terms of just the precision, the involvement of the citizens, citizens of pyongyang are expected to be a part of these major celebratory events. and they turn out in droves. and ten

of kim jong un. this act of terrorism took place at the airport in alaysia and was summarize -- summarized by the chairman. and a united states district court found that in 2014 the north korea -- that north korea materially supported terrorist acts by hezbollah, a designated foreign terrorist organization. finally, and this list is incomplete, but last on my list is north korea's assistance in helping assad try to develop nuclear weapons of his own. we're aware that assad's nuclear facility, built almost entirely based on north korean technology, and using north korean equipment, was destroyed in 2007. assad has murdered hundreds of thousands, it looks like the figure is now half a million of his own citizens. imagine the destruction assad would have engaged in. had he been able to develop nuclear weapons with the support and technology of north korea. so, h.res. 479, the north korea state sponsor of terrorism designation act, expresses the sense of congress that north korea likely meets the criteri

missile strike in syria, analysts say kim jong-un is facing something he hasn't seen before, the real north korea could be hit with u.s. fire power. the question is how will kim respond? tonight american war ships are headed toward the peninsula with more than 60 fighter planes is on route from singapore. a u.s. official says in response to kim jong-un's recent provocations. >> the battle group sends one strong manessage, that is the united states has the capability to immediately respond if north korea gets frisky. >> reporter: the deployment of the group comes after north korea launched missiles in the recent days. the regime has connected several missile tests recently to speed up his plans to have a ballistic missile capable of hitting the united states, but the deployment of u.s. war ships comes after president trump launched missiles into syria which analysts changed the calculation of america's rivals from the russians to the dictator in pyeongchang. >> i think for the first time in his life kim jong-un has to imagine that the american military might could hit the north korean

it may not and runs the risk of kim jong un. it is the stockpile of chemical and biological peps and missile launches spread across the country side. north korea's nuclear missile is of national security threat. they ask that you tell us how you are preparing for every contingency. while north korea poses an immediate security threat we must not lose the long term threat i believe it is critical we empower countries in south asia to protect and provide them with economic alternatives to maintain regional stability. >> thank you. it is an honor for me to appear before this committee. there are many things to talk about. i regret that i'm not here with my testimony battle buddy, but i think you'll all agree he is where he is needed most on the korean peninsula. mr. chairman, i request my statement be submitted for the record. as a commander i have the extraordinary privilege of leading about 375,000 airmen, marines and civilians serving our nation over half the globe. it's important because i believe economic prosperity are linked
