whether it is kim jong un, his father or his grandfather which is unless we remove troops from the korean peninsulawill not stop what they are doing. isn't it a test? we are looking at super lunches here. this is a nation not to be trusted and we are seeing that not only today but we cannot be calling this man or this nation our friend as the president so frequently does. >> this is a relationship the president has put a lot into trying to take a different approach than other commanders in chief, your thoughts on north korea. >> when he came into office this was the most difficult and dangerous position on the foreign-policy menu he faced. as he is going toward the end of his first term it returns to being the most difficult position he faces and it is tricky, he went from fire and fury to beautiful liners, you can't go back to fire and fury and kim jong un is not an idiot as the president has pointed out. he knows what is going on with impeachment, he knows what is going on with an election and he will play to pressure the president. >> no one is talking about how impeachment plays into this, make

you wrote we are headed for a crisis on the korean peninsula. >> there is a deadline for the end of theng on for a year and a half. there is no likelihood we'll give them what they want to roll over and let them do what they want. at the end of the year there is a good chance that negotiations will be over. they'll do something even more crazy and reckless like launch another icbm. the trump administration has to deal with it. they know it. they are trying to think of it. at the same time president trump is confronting our allies about how much they pay for u.s. troops stationed in japan and korea, straining alliances and doing the north koreans' work for them. so my column says it's north korea's fault if they do something reckless. but we have to get ready for it. we have to realize that when diplomacy fails we have to switch course and do things like containment, deterrence, pressure and try to make sure that the north korea situation doesn't get any more dangerous than it is already. >> thank you for making time for us, especially on thanksgiving. >> happy thanksgiving. as president

facilitate a political agreement, a deal, if you will, that leads to the denuclearization of the korean peninsula. and that's what we do. as i said earlier, my job is to enable and empower. at this point it creates more space for our diplomats to strike an tkaeplt on the denuclearization of the peninsula. >>> we'll take a break. when we come back, a new standoff erupts in hong kong. demonstrators taking on police with slingshots, petrol bombs, even bows and arrows. and we speak with firefighters who are becoming more critical of the city's police force. what they think about the growing unrest. that's when we come back. into a base you can empty once a month. and unlike standard robots that bounce around, it cleans row by row. if it's not a shark, it's just a robot. i wanted more that's why i've got the power of 1 2 3 medicines with trelegy. the only fda-approved 3-in-1 copd treatment. ♪ trelegy. the power of 1-2-3. ♪ trelegy 1-2-3 trelegy. with trelegy and the power of 1 2 3, i'm breathing better. trelegy works 3 ways to open airways, keep them open and reduce inflammation for 24 hours of better

end of the year to change its negotiating strategy so are we headed for a crisis now on the korean peninsulak unfortunately we're already in crisis mode. this deadline, let's keep in mind what it is. this is a deadline that kim has set for the united states agr agreeing to lift all sanctions on north korea. we have not been talking to the north koreans. we have not been talking about what north korea is prepared to do so the end of the year, if we have not agreed to kim's demands, kim is trying to extort us, what we are loick ikely goi see is an increase in activity on a number of fronts. he's had a significant amount of time to increase his capabilities, whether it's his rocket lawner, missile, intercontinental missiles and other capabilities. at the same time, kim has been advancing his cyber capabilities and kek cal and biological weapons. so if what we're seeing now is kim restrain ed, we should expet to see lot of activity if kim takes off the training wheels starting january 1st. >> samantha, always appreciate you. thank you. >>> still to come, why the republican challenger to freshman

north korea test fired a multiple rocket launcher with rockets landing in the sea separating the korean peninsula from japan but north korea it seems has been looking for other ways to up the pressure it's been widely reported by north korean media this week that last weekend leader kim jong un visited an artillery unit on the maritime border between north and south korea and personally directed an artillery test firing which has irked people here in south korea because of course that is very much against the spirit of the declarations that were signed at the end of last year between north and south korea at the height of the summit diplomacy and it just shows how relations have cooled significantly since that time and of course with the clock ticking towards the end of this year which is the deadline that kim jong un has given for some sort of breakthrough in negotiations with the united states or with the ominous warning that in the new year he is likely to choose a different path let's get a check on the weather here is that britain. oh daria i think anyone who managed not to get caught up in

troops could be withdrawn from the korean peninsula can he just pull out i mean what would be the impact of such a move for south korea and old soul for u.s. national security interests in the region the united states has troops in south korea because it directly protects u.s. interests the united states is threatened by the presence of north korea if you if trump were to just withdraw all of the troops from south korea that would have a profound impact on the stability of the entire of northeast asia and the greater into its effect. a lot of countries there rely on the united states to maintain peace and stability in the region and that would create a huge power vacuum and so where does this so leave u.s. effort to reach a negotiated end to north korea's nuclear program. that it also puts that under a tremendous amount of stress if the united states continues to put this sort of financial pressure on south korea popularity for the alliance popularity for terms diplomacy will fall and that we get a lot harder for the united states to coordinate in good faith with south korea and with jap

they're very close together and it's really if this is going to be effective if the defense of the korean peninsula was necessary in the future it has to work so the idea that you go in and just bludgeon them and say we want 5 times as much money to do this wait a minute what are we doing here other koreans to spend a lot of money at their behest to move us out of young signing the major facility and into its own priest a home for years that actually is to our advantage because it's a lot further back from the d.m.z. than the previous place was and in military terms outside the range of current north korean artillery significant difference so we have these facilities in korea right they're designed to be integrated with the koreans in case of an emergency and i think it's it's very important that we keep these arrangements as long as we have an interest in northeast asia which we certainly do so kevin i heard everything admiral said but again going back to the words of the president that you said we should questionably listen to on occasion. as as i had shared with you earlier we watched president

not only the northern part, but the korean peninsula, east china sea and south china sea and particularly, the taiwan issue. it's very much an issue of mine. this goes to your question of which part is more important. the result of which has become irrelevant because you need to consolidate power for your very survival or success. that's the dynamics that we got involved. so that's sometimes in certain issue areas a different picture. because china needs a foreign market and resources that the mill mil tear is a part of that. actually dynamic spiral. sometimes we ought to feel that united states our interest so we can buy china's challenge. especially china's military budget will increase dramatically in the coming years. >> just to come back to the last part of the question. what does the debate look like on how to take advantage of this moment where in the united states, we have a lot of domestic turmoil. a crisis of confidence and democratic capitalism. but how would you describe that right now? >> it's an excellent question. as you might, i d not see the moment that this vicious power
