and i notice the inclusion of kim jong un's children. however, there is no inclusion of children kim yo jong is kim yo jong married. does she have a husband? does she have children? we don't know when she visited south korea for the opening ceremony of the winter olympics in 2018. the next day she visited the blue house. the president's office and mingled with various south korean senior officials. of course, throughout her two night, three day stay, she reportedly told her south korean counterparts that she's, yes, married and has children and may even have said she was pregnant at that time due to deliver her next child sometime in the next couple of months or so. and internet sleuths around the world observed at the time that she looks a bit not really visibly very starkly different but you know maybe a bit a bulge around her midsection. and when she showed up again made a big high profile event. her brother's summit meeting with the south korean president in the inter-korean panmunjom on april 27th, 2018. she looked visibly thinner. s

so kim jong un, rambo 3 -- or rambo 4. kim jong un, what did he do? ..hen as we know the rest is history. he has made four visits to china. the last was on his birthday in january 2018. shthere is another china visit coming i wouldim say. and president xi visited in jun. so there is a strategy to all this. north korea does not go berserk and ask for a nuclear war. they go through this letter of graduatedno escalation and then they know when to dial it and back it down and they come down the ladder. to a charming exciting piece and they will do it again. i do not know when. maybe next year, it may be two years from now. but they play a central role in the next provocation. >> doctor lee if bidden advocate for tougher sanctions on north korea. election of the nine states organizations like the un could make it tougher stance against north korea military provocation as well as a cyber activities? >> sanctions enforcement like domestic law enforcement is a very hard work. it is a laborious, labor-intensive. you have to do the investigation, the surveillance

i think we are concerned they are getting up from the russians because we know now that kim jong—un russiansow now that kim jong—un is throwing his weight or whatever behind the russian war in ukraine and the russian war in ukraine and the russians in turn are giving him missiles and satellite technology. this first thing. it's not increasingly clear that if you are putting up satellites for reconnaissance it means the north koreans are planning to fight any future conflict with missiles and almost certainly it means nuclear attack missiles. the south korean state is not a conventional terrestrial one anymore, it's really more about missiles and you have to have satellites for better targeting so this is new.— so this is new. the bbc has soken so this is new. the bbc has spoken with _ so this is new. the bbc has spoken with north - so this is new. the bbc has spoken with north korean i spoken with north korean defectors who have described the deteriorating humanitarian situation inside north korea that you were just alluding to. right. that you were 'ust alluding to. richt. ., ., , ., , righ

" >> reporter: every north korean missile test, every satellite launch, every nuclear test cost kim jong-un millions of dollars. how does kim's regime evade heavy sanctions. >> we certainly believe that north korean hacking of cryptocurrency around infrastructure around the world is a major source of revenue for the regime. >> reporter: a staggering more than $3 billion in stolen crypto over the past five years, u.s. lawmakers say. >> so, where does that money go? straight into north korea's illegal nuclear program. >> reporter: an underground pipeline of elicit wealth, fuelling kim's nuclear ambitions, pumping paymenting into pyongyang from places like russia, china, hong kong, singapore, and vietnam. >> does that pose a threat to our national security? >> it does, senator. >> reporter: the u.s. believes north korea has a global shadow army, secret operatives posing as i.t. officials, even hiring westerners to hide their connection to pyongyang. spanish police arrested this man earlier this month, known as a special delegate for north korea. he posted a message on x, formerly known as twit

he also referred to north korean leader kim jong-un, as being very nice. here are some of the comments he made about vladimir putin. take a listen. >> vladimir putin, of russia, says biden's -- this is a quote -- politically motivated persecution of his political rival is very good for russia because it shows the rottenness of the american political system which cannot pretend to teach others about democracy. >> reporter: now, fred, clearly some pretty remarkable language coming from a former president. but it's not totally surprising. donald trump has actually expressed fondness for authoritarian leaders multiple times throughout his travels on the campaign. he often refers to them as strong leaders, people who are feared and uses that to argue that joe biden is weaker in compare sovenlt i think what's really important to point out is the kwon text of all this. these comments came as many critics increasingly warning that a second donald trump in the white house -- a second term i should say would be an authoritarian term. it comes as donald trump was cri

what is about to change potentially, if anything. >> reporter: it's not just the rhetoric from kim jong-un. it's the recent tests we have seen from his intercontinental missile program. kim jong-un ordered, i will kwoed, the munitions industry, nuclear weapons and civil defense sectors to further accelerate the war preparations due to the anti-north korean confrontation moves of the u.s. and its forces, unprecedented in history. it means south korea coming from kim jong-un. he is pushing his weapons programs and nuclear programs further as he ordered this to accelerate in the face of what he accuses of u.s. of doing, expanding its efforts in the region. it's worth noting, ten days ago north korea tested an intercontinental ballistic missile. it's the third solid fuel icbm test this year from north korea. that came with a short-range be a listic missile test. he is pushing his country harder. >> i know you will stay on top of it. thank you very much for that. >>> coming up here, taylor swift's epic year and what it means financially. we will break it down right after this. >>> whether you l

and next, kim jong-un, talk about a weird world, caught crying in public. te plea to the women in his country. goli, taste your goals. >>> so kim jong-un publicly in tears. the north korea dictator caught crying as he pleaded with women in his country to have more children. at one point, dabbing his eye with a white hankerchief. as for kim himself, south korean intelligence says he has three chdren including a reported 10-year-old daughter he found out from

like a rocket ship sent by kim jong un. just like that. who is very nice, i will tell you.t so fond of this administration. but he's fond of me. >> viktor orban, by the way, the head of hungary supporting obviously putin's offensive on ukraine as well. this is something the former president has done before and he did throughout his presidency, right, the love letters that were exchanged as we covered them way back when between him and kim jong un. put this, though, if you will, doug in historical context. is this something we have heard before from other leaders? what does this mean for how he'll operate? >> you know, fdr once said about a dictator, he's an sob, but at least he's our s.o.b. in the case of putin, he's our enemy. what putin is doing in the ukraine is what humanitarian crimes against any kind of ethical standard, and here's donald trump, this is where the words matter. trump is dissing the ukraine. he's dissing zelenskyy. they're holding up funding that's desperately needed and basically patting putin on the back, and so what trump is really aligned to is a ki

recently, state media reported that north korean leader kim jong-un instructed the country's army, the weapons industry, and others to accelerate war preparations in response to, quote, confrontation moves by the u.s. some context, these remarks by kim jong-un come amid perceptions by north korea of a strengthening alliance between the united states and south korea. this as north korea and russia could possibly solidify their own relationship in the year ahead. mark stewart, cnn, seoul. >>> if there's one thing that can be said about the u.s. economy in 2023, it's that things weren't as bad as we were told to expect. this time last year the storm clouds were building. inflation was sky high, markets were shaky at best, recession seemed inevitable. while the fed did raise rates pretty consistently through the year, it never really led to a downturn in the economy. inflation is still stubbornly high and a problem for millions of american households, but it's continuing to recede toward the 2% target the fed wants to see. job growth has been solid over the past year, which has helped keep

it was kim jong un's first long range missile test in about five months. north korea also launched a short range missile over the weekend. >> defense secretary lloyd austin is on a visit to israel today to meet with that country's senior military officials. they're expected to discuss the next phase in the war as israel faces growing calls from other allies to negotiate another cease fire after israeli forces accidentally killed three hostages. prime minister benjamin netanyahu is now hinting that hostage talks could be back on, but hamas says there won't be any negotiations until the fighting stops here at home. >> a record number of swatting incidents are plaguing jewish communities, with the authorities investigating at least 300 in 30 states over the weekend. here's now swatting is when someone reports a non existent serious crime like a shooting, and we are seeing a 500% jump from last year. an anti semitic incidents are also soaring. many locations are receiving bomb threats, including a synagogue in alabama that had to be evacuated during service. >

. >> reporter: and trump praised dictators saying that kim jong-un is very nice, and quoted vladimir putin. >> and vladimir putin? have you heard of vladimir putin in russia? this is a quote, political persecution of his rival is very good for russia, because it is showing the rottenness of the american system. >> the biden campaign said that donald trump parroted adoff hitler and praised kim jong-un and promised to rule as a dictator, and threaten a democracy. chris christie slammed the rhetoric and calling out nikki haley for not condemning it. >> we is disgusting, and what he is doing is to dog whistle those who are feeling strain from the conflicts around the world and the issues at home. nikki haley is enabling him. >> reporter: he and nikki haley and ron desantis are locked in at second place behind trump. and nikki haley singled out ron desantis behind her. >> ron desantis has not put one truthful ad up there about me. he has spent millions of dollars against me. and while he is lying about me, i am going to tell you the truth about him, because he doesn't want to hear it. >>

praised other authoritarian leaders, including the prime minister of hungary and north korean leader kim jong-unite house and the biden campaign were very quick to jump on the remarks. the biden page says he channeled -- praised kim jong-un and quoted vladimir putin while running for president on a promise to rule as a dictator, appeared threatened american democracy. fred, i think it's important to point out the contents of these remarks. this comes as donald trump is increase good facing criticism about his potentially second term, if he would be a authoritarian leader himself if reelected. of course, from a lot of reporting, about what exactly he would do if he were to re-claim the white house again. >> how are republicans responding to this language? i will say donald trump a couple weeks ago was joking about being a dictator on day one we heard a lot of people dismissing this as rhetoric. i also want to point out something we heard from kevin mccarthy yesterday during an interview. he defended donald trump. he said had he would potential serve in a second term. take a listen. >> we're going

not, the russian special services tried to prevent the entry of finland and sweden into nato, and kim jong-unced that there are problems with the birth rate in north korea, and what did he propose, wait, about this and other things in a moment in the section world about ukraine. well , i'll start with information, literally from the last hour, maybe a little more, time magazine announced the nominees for the award, the annual award of its person of the year, nine nominees, and i think that time magazine is rolling in some hole, among these nine nominees are xi jinping, vladimir putin, barbie doll, the prosecutors who are trying donald trump, also, the company, the ceo of open ai, sam altman, the king of great britain, charles ii, the chairman of the federal reserve system of the united states , jerome paul, well, i just can't understand how putin got on this list, after all, i can't understand how he got on this list. list , but putin last year tiy magazine even announced the president of ukraine, volodymyr zelenskyi and the people of ukraine the winner, the laureate of this award, this year

north korea's leader kim jong—un says his country faces unprecedented pressure from the united states but to press on with its nuclear ambitions. mr kim was speaking at his country's year—end party meeting, which wrapped upjust hours ago. he also ruled out any possibility of reunification on the korean peninsula and said he plans to launch three more spy satellites next year as part of efforts to strengthen military capabilities, according to state media. earlier, i spoke with professor robert kelly, an expert in inter—korean affairs. very good to have you with us this evening. what do you make of some of these comments from kim jong—un and do you think that regional leaders, western allies, will be taking them seriously? well, it's nothing really that we haven't heard from the north koreans before. i mean, it would be really remarkable if kimjong—un or anyone in the leadership came out and said that things were getting better and we can talk to the south koreans and maybe the americans aren't so bad and maybe we can strike a deal with them, right? i mean, the north koreans really nev

he also praised kim jong-un because kim jong-un was very nice to him. tonight, the u.s.ng its top military and intelligence officials overseas as a rift with israel is starting to appear. defense argued terri lloyd austin arriving in israel today, as you can see here, meeting with prime minister benjamin netanyahu another top israeli officials. continuing to stress -- fight against hamas, but also talking about pathways toward a feature for what gaza looks like after. and as the death toll there is rising, saying protecting civilians is, quote, a moral responsibility. tonight, we also saw cia director bill burns meeting with qatari and israeli officials in poland, hoping to restart these negotiations to release more hostages. this coming after israeli soldiers mistakenly killed three of them last week. a lot of news to get to tonight. i'm joined by cnn political and foreign policy analyst barak, one of the best sourced reporters in the region. barak, when it comes to president biden dispatching his top officials to go to israel to have these difficult conversations behin

we have him praising xi, kim jong-un, orban. we have him referring to january 6th convicts as hostages. and we have him using language that evokes what adolph hitler used to say. those in the white house said to me, they've made a compelling case in recent months, the biden white house, that they feel americans are not paying attention right now. it's too early. people are not paying attention. next spring, after the republican primaries, which are not competitive are over, and americans start actually listening to donald trump as we move into the summer, move into next fall, and it's a general election between biden and trump, when americans start paying attention again, they will hear this from trump and reject it. they'll say, we can't go down that path again. we can't go down that path again. my question, though, is, as trump's poll numbers are only going up, both in the republican primary and now, general election survey after general election survey, he's ahead of biden in most surveys, and "the wall street journal" just m

political opponent who had been imprisoned on trumped up charges has gone missing, he also praised kim jong-un because kim jong-un was very nice to him. and he praised viktor orban, the autocrat who is the prime minister of hungary. he admires that. listen, there's a reason he said when putin invaded ukraine that it was genius. he thinks if you can snatch a country, why not? it's the complete absence of any sort of moral center that is the problem here, when governor desantis says, well, he made a tactical mistake, no, it was a moral outrage, and you know, the fact that so many people in the republican party are so intimidated by trump that they don't want to speak up to that, is a really big problem for the republican party going into a general election. >> obviously, this was a hallmark of trump in the white house. the last time praising putin. i imagine he would do the same if not further if he wins re-election. ron desantis is on the campaign trail saying if trump loses the iowa caucuses, he's going to claim that it was stolen. do you think that that's the route he'll take? >> i think he h

he also praised other authoritarian leaders including the prime minister orban and said kim jong-un was very nice. take a listen. >> it was like a rocket ship sent by kim jong-un. just like that. who is very nice, i will tell you. even vladimir putin, has anybody ever heard of vladimir putin? of russia said that biden, and this is a quote, politically motivated persecution of his political rival is very good for russia because it shows the rottenness of the american political system which could no the pretend to teach others about democracy. >> and they're all laughing at us. victor orban, the prime minister of hungary, said trump is the man that could save the western world. >> now manu, some pretty remarkable language from a former president. but it is also not totally surprising. donald trump often expressed fondness for these leaders while on the campaign trail. he often describes them as being strong leaders as being people who are feared and he used that to compare them to joe biden who he trueying to argue is weak. and this language comes as critics are increasingly warning that

. >> what do you think when you hear the former president praising north korea's kim jong un or hungary's viktor orban or quoting putin to make a point it seems about america's democracy? >> well, we all know he has this bent towards strong men, whether it's kim jong un in north korea, viktor orban in hungary, xi jinping in beijing or vladimir putin in russia. he tends to give them more credence and lean in closer to them. i think in some ways he wishes he had the powers that they have. i can't explain it. you'd like to see more of a relationship with our allies and partners than with the bad guys on the world stage. >> do you think our nation would be more or less safe with a trump second term, based on your experience? >> well, i worry about our democracy, first and foremost, is would donald trump come in and i think the lesson he's learned from the first administration is that the most important thing is who you put into office, who you appoint, who you nominate for key positions. so i think he's learned that lesson. the first quality he'll be seeking is loyalty above all else. with a

and now he is posing and praising dictators like putin and kim jong-un. what's going on here? and why so much republican silence? >> well, i mean, as a practical matter, i wouldn't go around quoting vladimir putin or anybody else, and i certainly wouldn't good around using the language that he used on the immigration point, given the historical context, i think it actually take ways from the overall issue, which is a winning issue for him. immigration and illegal immigration is a terrible albatross for joe biden. the american people think he has failed on it. i will tell you the word poison, though, i suspect is going to ring true, or at least strike a chord with a lot of voters throughout who do believe we're being poisoned by illegal immigration, at least what's coming across the border in the form of illegal drugs like fentanyl. >> that's not what he is talking about. his language is -- >> how do you know? >> well, you're listening to it. all you have to do is try to corroborate it with language that white supremacists are using, hate speech. it's very similar. >> yeah, i a

authoritarian leaders, including hungary's viktor orban, china's xi jinping, and north korea's kim jong-un. cbs news has asked the trump campaign for comment about the reaction to his remarks. among trump's gop opponents, only former new jersey governor chris christie strongly rebuked him. >> he's disgusting, and what he's doing is dog whistling to americans who feel absolutely under stress and strain from the economy and from the conflicts around the world. >> reporter: but trump continues to dominate because gop primary voters generally back the idea of mass deportations the former president supported and view immigration as a key issue. >> having a porous border is leading to a lot of problems. it's creating an unsafe environment for our citizens. >> reporter: cbs news has learned last week the border patrol apprehended nearly 7,900 people each day from 6,000 in october. the white house now deep in negotiations with congress. a compromise could include expelling migrants without processing their asylum claims and expanding the detention of migrants allowed to stay in the u.s. pending a

medication personally approved by kim jong-un. tested by top doctors. ed by trustworthy foreign investors. kims take it or you go to prison. >> jimmy: there you go interesting, right [ cheers and applause switching gears. kraft announced that they're launching a plant-based mac and cheese so, good news. you no longer have to threaten your kids with coal this christmas. [ light laughter ] kraft actually didn't mean to release it it just escaped from the testing labs [ laughter ] yep, a healthier mac and cheese option from kraft. here's what it looks like. yeah [ laughter ] did you guys see this? the genetic testing site 23 and me was hacked >> steve: what >> jimmy: yeah, and now the genetic data of nearly 7 million people were exposed. and apparently it includes data of some people in the news for instance, we now know that president biden is 40% irish and 60% dust [ laughter ] did you know that? >> steve: no, i did not. >> jimmy: now you know and it's released. >> steve: because of the hacked information. >> jimmy: we also know that prince harry is 20% e

he's like a rocketship sent by kim jong-un. he was very nice, i will tell you. we thought we were going to nuclear war. he had a very good relationship. that was nice. >> some weird stuff. of all the people in the world who you could use as references for yourself, he shows putin, orban, and kim jong-un. this is in addition to some of the racist things he had been saying. he's been using the idea that immigration would poison the blood of our nation, which is remarkably similar to language that adolf hitler used to use. what do you make of all of this? >> i make that trump is telling us who he is. it's up to us as the american people to have the sense to accept what an individual says about themselves. as you said, during that saturday rally, trump also talked about, frighteningly, giving police of serves absolute immunity which puts a mark on the back of every person who has had fear of police. i think of my black sons. i think about all of the african americans, mexicans who the president has said he is going after. individuals don't look like him. that is som

instead, i am going to predict that north korea's kim jong-un will reap the rewards of having provided for his war in ukraine, and those rewards will take the form of technical aid to his nuclear weapons programs and we won't know it until we see north korea testing new and improved weapons. >> and perhaps seven nuclear tests everyone has been waiting for. >> everyone is waiting for that. >> so i -- you have all set the table beautifully for my conclusion, which is that the only certainty is uncertainty and anyone who tells you what is going to happen with this election and how it's going to play out over the next year is selling you something because there are just so many different variables that all of us are tracking and all of us are weighing. which is why you need to watch cbs. it's also why none of us will sleep very much in the next few months. we'll be right back with a lot more "face the nation." stay with us. ed me find the strength to go further than i ever thought possible. - [narrator] i was able to come outta my shell and really connect with others. - [narrator] so i can

trump also noted that north korean leader kim jong-un is very nice, not words people would use. he same kim jong-un who consolidated power by executing anyone that stood in his way. trump quoted vladimir putin, citing the time that putin called the criminal cases into trump, politically motivated. yes, the same vladimir putin who is under investigation for war crimes and a notorious oppressor of free speech and freedom of the press. for donald trump, that guy is, once again, being used as some sort of a validator in his campaign. in a speech, the very next day, in nevada, trump kept at it, claiming migrants were invading the u.s. from prisons, and men still institutions well reopen his promise to conduct the, quote, largest deportation operation in american history. now, if you are thinking, that is terrible, it's horrible, that is obviously not consistent with the language or values we should expect from an american president. you are right. believe me. i get it. i worked for two of them. you might be saying to your friends and neighbors, this is not who we are. he might be hopi

he is talking about kim jong-un.talked about the widely respected viktor orban who is a nato leader who is actively working against the 50-country effort to keep ukraine alive from its invasion of russia. again, i don't know if the audience was listening to him, doesn't care or doesn't know, but he leaned into, of all of the 200-plus leaders in the country, he picked these three guys. >> right. and we keep trying to give the audience the benefit of the doubt. >> yes, yes. >> you know, we said he's the snake oil salesman but people are buying the snake oil. >> yeah. >> we are reluctant to actually deal with that. if lindsey graham is playing footsie with the bad guy, he is now one of the bad guys. we keep trying to keep folks npt of this thing, right. let's be very, very clear. at the heart of this debate is the question -- i mean let's not exceptionalize donald trump. but you have immigration and nationality act of 1965 people have been trying to undo that provides a frame. you have the immigration act of 1924 that i

he called north korea's kim jong-un a very nice manning.called people arrested for violence on january 6th hostages. this is after, of course, he says he's going to be a dictator for a day, on day one. congressman curbelo, is this the same trump we saw in 2016? or has he even gone further to the right? >> well, i think it's the same trump in some ways. certainly, if he returned to the presidency, he would be emboldened. for me, unfortunately, this is no surprise. remember in the spring of 2018 i was on an air force one trip with trump from palm beach to key west, and he expressed admiration that the castro dictatorship had been in power for over 60 years. he quickly told me, i understand they're bad, but still it's impressive they were in power for 60 years. this is a man who add hires authoritarians. he's not shy about saying it. of course, we know he has those impulses as well. again, i think this will all come back into relief on the campaign trail. he's a republican nominee and it will remind a lot of those swing voters in swing states

continue to come out, and as donald trump was quoting vladimir putin, and praising the likes of kim jong un as very nice, his supporters did not question each other or very much did not see donald trump applauding these autocrats and very much in defense of him, they believe that joe biden and this white house are unfairly persecuting or targeting him. i should note that i just left trump international golf club where he's taking part in a campaign briefing with several advisers, and donald trump did speak momentarily with those of us who were there. there was no mention about his comments or the quoting of vladimir putin or the mentioning of the poisoning of the blood. for donald trump, he is running an unabashed campaign that is clearly not looking to moderate or step away from the controversial but one that instead continues to lean into this rhetoric. >> mike, the biden campaign was quick to come out with a statement about this rhetoric. what more can you tell us about their response? >> we've seen something of a shift in the last few weeks of the biden campaign being more reactive to t
