i was there two and a half years ago and my sense was with kim jong il who was the father of kim jong un, and the north korean diplomatic core that they cooled down a little bit. they didn't get bellicose after that. the problem is that they have not responded positively to entreaties from the six party countries. the key player here is china. china has leverage. they provide food, fuel. but i don't think china is helping much in terms of putting pressure on the north koreans to tamp down their rhetoric and cool their nuclear development. >> i want to get to that question. you said you were there two and a half years ago. but you were there within the last two months with famouslier rick schmidt, a business executive. did you get any kind of access like dennis rodman got to this guy? >> no. rodman got a lot better access than myself and eric schmidt. we got access to high level officials in the foreign ministry and other areas, but we didn't meet kim jong un. i don't think they want to meet with officials. i think they want to hide him for a while. what is happening two and a half yea

kim jong-un and the north koreans are telling them. they don't believe that there will be war because they say that kim jong-il -- kim jong-un may be erratic, but he's not crazy. he's not irrational and he's not suicidal. if he declares war and goes to war here, it would be the end of him and his country. so people have internalized that and they manage to get through each and every day by kind of compartmentalizing the war and the situation or the potential for war and they've done a very, very good job. they've become chronic, positive thinkers, if you will. >> jim, secretary kerry is also scheduled to visit china. what is beijing's role in all of this and that visit? >> well, beijing's role is absolutely critical. i mean, it's north korea's main ally. the main trading partner. it seems to be on the same page for once with the united states, which is really rare when it comes to frustration, deal with the -- a very erratic kim jong-un. so beijing does have influence. it can turn on the taps of food, of fuel. but the question is, will beijing be willing to do that? it doesn't want to see a collapse of the kim regime. that would only trigg

in the old days there was a relationship with kim il song carried on with the son kim jong il. n't think the son kim jong-un, the 29-year-old, spent any time with these leaders at all. it's probably safe to say dennis rodman has probably had more face time than the president of china. >> which adds a scariness of all of this is that there is no communication with him even among some in china that might have some economic influence. you mentioned earlier and jim clancy talked about how much north korea craves this kind of publicity, if you will, and that it always wants something in return. and generally gets it. has the president -- has president obama been smart about not getting into this? we've heard from the secretary of state. we've heard from the secretary of defense. and certainly we've sent assets over the pacific. but we haven't heard from the president. why is that? >> well, the president i think is playing the right hand. and that is we've deployed a couple of aegis class destroyers with missile defense capabilities. we have ongoing military-to-military exercises with

uncertain where to go. >> you were there, i was there with you for six days in december 2010, when kim jong-il was still in power. you were there more recently, january of this year, with eric schmid, the head of google. and a few days this year, when kim jong-un has been in power. between the visits, did you sense any real change in north korea? >> well, i thought that the new leader, kim jong-un, would be more -- more diplomatically-oriented. more willing to talk to the west. he'd been educated in the west. he'd be willing to enter into negotiations. but apparently what happened was when that missile launch failed, kim jong-un had to show his people he was strong. show his military that he was tough. these aggressive actions followed. so, i saw a positive move more towards negotiations. more toward dialogue, less rhetoric. but now, the turbulence has happened, since kim jong-un has affirmed his power. i've been there a lot. you were there. many have been there. but it's very vexing what is happening. and once again, north korea is showing something very clear. they're unpredictable. you don'

right up there, kim jong-il and his son, kim jong-un. going to come out and watch. goal of all of this was purely political. introduction of the heir apparent to the kim family dynasty, kim jong-un. out and about in the capital, no one seemed to know much about kim jong-un. do you know what his age is? what he is like? it seemed the young general was everywhere we went from stadiums to the public squares, but never uttered a word. we should point out when kim jong-il's father named him as heir apparent in 1980 it wasn't until 12 years later that he first spoke in public. so for those anxious to hear from the next leader of the kingdom, sit tight, it could be a while. you should know north korea has long turned its lights off at night because of a shortage of electricity. if you looked at the satellite view you can see the lights are elsewhere. compare this trip to the last one i was on. there is actually more lights out at night than before. maybe something is changing. also remember, three days ago there were almost no pictures of kim jong-un, heir apparent. but he

. >> they have the leader, the premier in north korea, some of kim jong-il. and he did that. he is doing that with the military. this is not unexpected. the difficulty is we, the united states and all the other nations can read the capabilities. we've never been good at reading their intentions. >> and u.s. officials say they're not seeing any unusual military movements along with this. does this mean it's all rhetoric? >> it's completely rhetoric right now based on what we can see in north korea. and we have capabilities to read what the north is doing. what we don't do a good job is ever penetrate the working government, if you will. o better understand their intentions, you have to be inside. we don't have that type of inside look. we can look at the capabilities and say there is no increased capability that we see. what we see are video clips. we see bluster. that must be taken seriously based on the contest. >> thank you so much for joining us. coming up, we worry it's not worth the hefty price tag? what if a billionaire agreed to buy it back from you in three years? tha

kim jong-un's father, the late kim jong-il, has long wanted north korea to become a full-fledged nuclear power. he believed it would help strengthen his country's negotiating position with the u.s. but authorities in pyongyang have always insisted the nuclear program is for peaceful purposes. north korean scientists intends for their work in the mid 1980s. the u.s., south korea, japan, and other nations demanded full access to nuclear facilities. but north korean officials refused. they ignored international protests and in 1994 instrutted scientists to extract plutonium from spent fuel rods. the six-party talks began in 2003 with the goal of halting the north's nuclear development. the north koreans agreed in 2007 to dismantle nuclear facilities at nyongbyon. international atomic energy inspectors confirmed the same year that crews had stopped operating the reactor. by then, former iaea inspector david albright estimated the country already possessed as much as 50 kilograms of plutonium. however, the north koreans might have used up some of their supply. they carried out three nuclear e
