kim jong-un. the real hand back there was kim jong-il. >> and, yeah. i would tend to agree. i mean, if you really wanted to, kim jong-un could go back and use some of his statements where he was focused on a denuclearized north korean peninsula and there are ways to rationalize that i think if he wanted to. okay. i have time for just a couple more questions but i'll take -- [ inaudible ] we'll take a couple together. >> this is for robert gallucci. >> let us know who you are. >> samara daniels. i am very curious as to what may be one or two main reasons why you give -- given the scenario you presented and there was a deal struck with north korea. under what theory would you accept it? i mean, what is the strongest reason for accepting that? what -- what would be -- >> okay. so -- >> and then, i'm sorry. >> i'm sorry. we'll collect the last -- >> get up there. >> and then in the back. >> peter sharp. miter corporation. primarily for bob gallucci. you're talking as if the countries concerned were unitary actors and i don't know about north korea but i know about the united stat

abraham lincoln, because we found a letter to you from the last north korean dictator, your dad, kim jong il. i'll read it to you now. ( laughter ) "hey, son, what the hell is with your haircut? did you see a painted brush and say, 'that dude's look'. and lose some weight. how you can rup a country when you can't even run a mile. you're eating so many cupcakes you're starting to look like one." your dad was mean. "and really, dennis rodman. if you're hanging out with 90s bull players you go with jordan or pippin, you ediot. p.s., stop jerking off in the grand hall. i can see you." moving on, let's talk about the speaker of the house. now, in america, this is one of the most powerful position, right after reverse cowgirl, of course. but as speaker of the house, you lead the majority party in the house of representatives and you're second in line to the presidency. so if the president and vice president meet an unfortunate end, then you have to step up, and the pressure of this position alone can reduce a man to constant weeping. right now, right now, the job is held by wisconsin representativ

and what kim jong-il needs a celebration of his rule to consolidate his position. will be years of further rule. >> haft time was 1980. kim jong-un predecessor, who was his dad. he was consolidated and he didn't worry about the celebration. kim jong-un is in a different position. we is trying to dot missile tests and the sense of crisis that the regime needs a come to surrife. >> and two mefrns; they were targets of opportunity. you had a kid that got a 15 year sentence. he was a prank. but this one is intchlth he had a long history of dealing with north korea. and so therefore, it doesn't seem like he would be involved in spying. that was made up. >> he was sentenced to ten years of hard labor regardless. and two failed missile launches upset pyongyang. and one was successful off of the submarine. >> this is important. they have perfected the technology of launching a missile out of the submarine it is and having it clear the water and ignite. it went 18 miles or so. and it was better when they had haunched from the. >> and china, military build up with them? >> th

now, there was a -- for a time, kim jong-il seemed to be kind of interested in the process and certainly he cared about his relationship with china. then as you recall in summer of 2008, kim jong-il became kim jong very ill. he had a stroke. but you knew it, they had essentially pulled back from the entire process. now, the obama administration did -- they talked about, well, we need to be patient. which for me was quite ironic because the chinese always told me to be more patient and i always told them to be less patient and then to hear our own administration talking about patient and adding that word strategic patience to somehow convey wisdom. but frankly, it gave north korea sort of eight free years to be working on it. i'm not suggesting whatsoever that the obama administration should have engaged or pushed for a negotiation. we did it in my watch in the beginning of 2005. not because we saw some great opening with north korea. is a but we saw that the south koreans were so upset at the way the first push administration -- first bush term had behaved that we created a situation for

last time they held a worker's party congress, the north korean president and founder kim il sun apointed kim jongessor. this time kim jong un is expected to reshuffle party leadership and perhaps consolidate his power, making him even more powerful in that country. so all of this military activity we've seen in recent months may be attempts by the leadership, by the supreme leader to project strength, to show force ahead of this political gathering. that's a message for his domestic audience and also for the international community as well. and we've seen a lot happening this year. there was that h-bomb test, that reported h-bomb test in january. and then one month later, a satellite launch. i was just in north korea last week for that attempted missile launch from a mobile launching device on the nation's most important holiday, the day of the sun, but that launch attempt, according to the u.s. and south korea, failed. now we see this apparent submarine launch, and there is even speculation among many, including the south korean government, that north korea could be preparing another nuclear tes

the move comes as north korean leader kim jong-il intensifies nuclear activities in defiance of u.n.s, connecting tested versions in january and testfiring missiles. greece is suspended relations to turkey and acknowledging that most refugees have applied for asylum. they began sending migrants under the agreement with turkey. in brazil, president dilma rousseff's legal team is urging congress to reject impeachment proceedings. a committee on impeachment may make a full recommendation to the house next week. south africa's parliament is expected to debate a motion to remove president jacob zuma from office come this after the country's highest court says he violated the constitution. the motion is unlikely to pass because it requires a two thirds majority for approval. the ruling african national congress party has supported zuma and enjoys a comfortable majority. the mayor of atlanta is banning taxpayer-funded travel to north carolina, following a preventing -- new law preventing antidiscrimination laws for gay and transgender people. and theon city council governess washington, new

they all happened under his father kim jong-il. a failure in so many eyes of north korea.ndfather is known for establishing north korea, for attacking his enemies in south korea and for a time when north koreans were actually better off economically than south koreans decades ago, a time when north koreans were not starving. >> interesting stuff. brian, thank you very much. >>> coming up, donald trump is at war with the gop saying the republican national committee is rigging the rules to deny him the presidential nomination. trump says the party chairman reince priebus should be ashamed. just ahead, reince priebus will join us live. he will respond. wheat? in purina one true instinct grain free, real chicken is always #1. no corn, wheat or soy. support your active dog's whole body health with purina one. ♪ eye of the tiger ime. tv anncr: good afternoon everyone. morning rituals are special. when you share what you love... ...with who you love. kellogg's frosted flakes. they're grrreat! shoshow me more like this.e. show me "previously watched." what's recommended for me. x1

kim jong-un. the real hand back there was kim jong-il. >> and yeah. i would tend to agree. i mean, if you really wanted to, kim jong-un could go back to kim jong-il and use some of his statements where he was focused on a denuclearized north korean peninsula and there are ways to rationalize that i think if he wanted to. okay. i have time for just a couple more questions but i'll take -- [ inaudible ] we'll take a couple together. >> this is for robert gallucci. >> let us know who you are. >> samara daniels. [ inaudible ] i am very curious as to what may be one or two main reasons why you give -- given the scenario you presented and there was a deal struck with north korea. under what theory would you accept it? i mean, what is the strongest reason for accepting that? what -- what would be -- [ inaudible ] >> okay. so -- >> and then, i'm sorry. >> i'm sorry. we'll collect the last -- >> get peter up here. >> and then in the back. >> peter sharp. miter corporation. primarily for bob gallucci. you're talking as if the countries concerned were unitary actors, and i don't know a

it has been for some time given what we've seen this past year with kim jong il. the u.s. is watching this very closely. that really sums it up just how concerning it would be if they have this capability of the submarine launch. of course at this point we don't know whether or not it was successful. >> paula hancock, thanks so much. keep us posted from south korea. >> back here on u.s. soil, donald trump is calling for ted cruz and john kasich to drop out of the race to the white house. nevertheless, all candidates are campaigning across the northeast today ahead of primary races in several states, five states on tuesday. cruz is in pennsylvania, kasich is in rhode island and trump is in connecticut. talking right now this week trump's new delegate guru told rnc leaders that trump is playing a part at his rallies and to expect him to shift toward a more presidential image. paul manafort spoke to cnn just last hour. >> mr. trump next week will be still speaking about how he's going to build a wall. he's talking about how he's still going to end illegal immigration. nowhere

kim jong il is a loser, i feel bad for ahmadinejad, the man wears a windbreaker, no class.ther hand, sell my own line of ties. >> although trump there was stone faced throughout, he enjoyed the roast and was honored by the attention. cnn will have complete coverage of tonight's white house kor responsibilities' dinner. look for that beginning at 7:00 p.m. we'll be right back, stay with us. betes with non-insulin victoza®. for a while, i took a pill to lower my blood sugar. but it didn't get me to my goal. so i asked my doctor about victoza®. he said victoza® works differently than pills. and comes in a pen. victoza® is proven to lower blood sugar and a1c. it's taken once a day, any time. victoza® is not for weight loss, but it may help you lose some weight. victoza® works with your body to lower blood sugar in 3 ways: in the stomach, the liver, and the pancreas. vo: victoza® is an injectable prescription medicine that may improve blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes when used with diet and exercise. it is not recommended as the first medication to treat diabetes and s

you don't have a twitter fight with isis or kim jong-il in north korea because someone picks on you. his response is schoolyard bullying. >> let me -- they're not out coming out against ted cruz or john kasich. why is this a conservative versus liberal thing? maybe they don't like trump's message. >> i don't think they like ted cruz's politics either. >> i do not. >> the reason why this is a story -- >> thank you. to my point. >> why not speak out against him then? >> right. tell us about ted cruz. >> number one, i don't know ted cruz personally. i have not worked for him in a professional environment. number three, ted -- >> you haven't worked for donald trump either. you didn't win. >> i did work for him as well. >> randal did for a year. >> that's right. and the different here, andy, is that donald has raised the stakes in this election to a level we have not seen before. and that has raised our concern. and the violence that we've seen, the behavior, and rhetoric is irresponsible. and we don't see that same level of irresponsibility from any political candidate in my memory. that

they have shown zero signs of interest in doing anything else and somehow he became very ill, kim jong-il, and before you knew that they had essentially pulled back from the entire process. the obama administration said that we need to be patient. which was quite ironic because the chinese always told me to be more patient and i always told them to be less patient and hear our own administration was talking about pigeons. then adding that word is strategic to somehow convey wisdom. but frankly i am not suggesting whatsoever that the obama administration should have engaged or push for negotiation. we did it in my watch and the beginning of 2005 area not because we saw some great openings in north korea but we saw the south koreans were so upset at the way that the first bush administration and first bush term had behaved on the issue of these negotiations that we created a situation of ourselves with some 45, 50%, we are blaming the united states for the nuclear ambitions. so that had to be changed. it was changed. it's down to where it should be in terms of percentages and we need to --

be difficult why do they want them still primarily with the discussion somebody at the fact that kim jong-il recognize that south korea is so far out ahead economically it is gone. his son is a young man the economy is doing reasonably well so it isn't clear that there are some thoughts to build up the arsenal he looks at that as a mechanism so i would not rule that out and that is very worrisome. >> wave your hand. >> if this is the case pakistan and north korea for wanting to acquire nuclear weapons and technology with a continuation is that argument applicable to other advanced industrial economies? is this why britain pursue nuclear weapons? >> it seems to have with these discussions but they shouldn't have nuclear weapons at all even of the strategy. >> let me take one small slice of that. i wrote a piece a couple of months ago there she will survive better in my opinion they put them into the background to understand how iran fits. the only one left standing. unless they pursue nuclear weapons. >> that is exactly right one thing to topple the regime that some of us interpreted a long t

jong-il.rsion of kim -- a female version of kim jong-il. host: my guess is that you will hear from people about that remark. the judgment on the pantsuits. ken in randallstown, maryland. hillary clinton supporter. caller: most candidates are fine. my issue is with bernie sander'' idea. candidates a long time ago, $50, i worked hard to get to where i would am -- where i am. someone has to pay for health care somewhere. there is no system that is free. they're talking higher than what we pay. numberaxes, but that is one. we have a two-party system. they keep saying when i am the president i will break up the banks, it is not that easy. they have to go through the legislature to get anything done. i promise these things, they have to be careful. understandtrying to the mission. we are not north korea, we are not a country in africa. that is my issue. thank you for calling. in the fights gaps battle for the black vote. like her husband, mrs. clinton has been dogged by your support of the 94 crime law that led to an increase in african-americans

cheryl: the kim jong-il regime says it is ready to hit washington dc with nuclear weapons, the countryclaims the strikes would kill more people than the 9/11 attacks did. the threat is part of the response to ongoing military drills between the us and south korea off the shores of north korea. you have seen the pictures but they are incredible. a passenger jet bursting into flames when it collides with another plane being towed across the runway. the boeing 737 preparing for take off in indonesia when it's wing clipped the smaller plane's tail. none of the people on board were hurt but the left wing as you can see is a mangled mess. the other plane scorched. significant damage to the tale of the aircraft. some of the world's rich and famous are under scrutiny after 11 million pages of leaked documents from a panamanian law firm show tax evasion and criminal activity in the offshore account. among those documents, close friends with russian president vladimir could net relatives of the leaders of china, britain, iceland, pakistan, calls for iceland's prime minister this morning to resig
