nothing of that and it appears recent comparisons between kim jong un and the late libyan dictator moammar gadhafi spooked the north korean leader trumps national security advisor john bolton said that libya could be a model for a north korean nuclear deal the libyan model in some circles you may recall is considered proof that dictators fearful of regime change should never give up their nuclear weapons which could offer you did in two thousand and three take a listen now to trump and his vice president well the libyan model isn't a model that we have at all. well we're thinking of north korea in libya we decimated that country that country was decimated this would be with kim jong learn something where he'd be there he'd be in his country it be running his country his country would be very rich you know there was some talk about the libyan ma it last week and. you know as the president made clear well i think it's more of a fact a fact well the fact yesterday's cancellation apparently caught a lot of people off guard the spokesman for south korea's president mungy in told reporters for we are at

had promised libya it would ease up on economic sanctions in return for the libyans, moammar gadhafi,g up his weapons of mass destruction. that was the model. gadhafi gives up his weapons of mass destruction and several years later u.s.-backed rebels in libya overthrew the government and he was killed. that's the model that kim jong-un is looking at, that gadhafi was killed essentially in return for some vulnerability to his regime and that's what kim does not want. i think every u.s. intelligence official will tell you that kim's major priority is survival of himself, his family and his regime in north korea and he is reacting very badly, but not unexpectedly to any notion that the libya model could put him at risk. he is not going to go for that, kate. >> let's see what happens in the next moments, really. >> great to see you, barbara. thank you so much. >> joining me to discuss further, purdue sits on the senate arms services committee. good morning, kate. >> what's your reaction for the new threat now from north korea? >> i was just in south korea a few weeks ago and in china talk

what also north korea has been bothered what about this talk about the former libyan dictator moammar gadhafi there was this fear there's been a lot of talk john bolton's talked about it on vice president pence and there was there was this talk about kim jong un being afraid that he too would become a dictator he would be left to die do you think that played a role in the polemics we've seen in the last week or so i would definitely say so the libya model so that back then got duffy agreed in a deal with the u.s. to get rid of his weapons of mass destruction and then in the end up being killed by rebels and this is the worst case scenario for north korea and the americans keep talking about talking about it yeah there's no big of provocation than that of the very good point i want to read of part of the letter from president trump today just to give our audience an idea of what exactly was said and he writes sadly based on the tremendous anger and open hostility displayed in your most recent statement i feel it is inappropriate at this time to have this long plane meeting you talk about your

reacting to the comments about the libya model, give up the nukes and get murdered by rebels like moammar gadhafi did? perhaps. perhaps also something going on inside his regime that we are not aware of. was he feel eing threatened? was he feeling vulnerable by reaching out to the u.s., by reaching out and trying to have this summit? we don't know that yet. what is so important is he's about his survival. that is what is motivating him. as recently as yesterday, pardon me, analysts in the government were telling me that they think that is really all important to watch. that kim had laid the table for this summit, mr. trump was in the position constantly of reacting and still to this day, the u.s. is reacting to what kim's regime is saying, to what the north koreans were saying. the u.s. never really grabbed control of that agenda. it was in a reactive mode. and kim knows that. so now the question is what is his next move. i can tell you the u.s. military never gave up keeping its satellites, its intelligence assets, its reconnaissance, the spies in the intelligence community, watching north korea

his own vice president said in the last 24 hours warning that kim could wind up ala libya and moammar cad gadhafi, dead. >> this will only end like the libya model ended if he doesn't make a deal. >> some people saw that as a threat. >> i think it's more of a fact. >> how do you square that?

moammar gadhafi was overthrown by washington-backed rebels and was killed. ivan watson has the latest for us. good morning, ivan. >> reporter: good morning, dave. vice president pence went on to say in the interview the military option for north korea has never been taken off the table. it is remarkable how much of a change we have seen from the positive diplomatic messages coming out of washington and pyongyang in recent months to suddenly seeing threats. thinly veiled threats. it is a sign of how rapidly the mood has changed. president trump will sit down face-to-face in the white house with the south korean president in a matter of hours. this will be an important meeting because the south korean president moon jae-in has been styling himself as a mediator or north korean whisperer, if you will. relations have deteriorated as well with north korea just publishing the broadsides on state media denouncing south korea for its joint air defense drills with the u.s. this week and actually disi-inviting sout korean journalists from attending a ceremony in north

see that if you give up your nuclear weapons there is a chance you could meet the same fate as moammar gadhafi and so these comments from times are highly provocative and that is what prompted north korea to call them is stupid and trump said that this was the last straw but you know it's not unlike rhetoric that we have heard before from both sides we have to mention so what was really behind this cancellation and was trump simply not prepared for such a high stakes meeting. certainly a lot of the details still needed to be ironed out they had just set single poor as the possible location but lots of the nitty gritty items like how long it would take place who would be there all of the small items that are so important to the optics particularly to the north koreans really saw this as an opportunity to be seen on equal footing with the united states president and what would have been a historic meeting between a sitting u.s. president and a north korean leader all of that still has yet to be done and usually in this kind of meeting we see a lot of low levels of the at play first in which a lo

so, adam, that insult happened after pence had brought up what happened to moammar gadhafi and libya. why would the vice president go there? do you think at all that was sabotage? >> well, the united states administration has been pushing this every hard line for several months now. it clear they were trying to push for immediate denuclearization and still keep the threat of war hanging over north korea's head. the libya analogy was never going to be helpful. it's not appropriate to north korea -- >> but they had to have known that. >> i think that's plausible. john bolton has been pushing the libya analogy for several years. i think they know it's deliberately inflammatory and not helpful and not conducive to get the summit to happen on productive terms. >> at the end of the day, though, isn't it the u.s. who had the most to lose, admiral? if this summit, if trump had gone all the way to singapore and kim was there and it turned out to be this disaster, it would be this global embarrassment for the u.s. meantime, what would north korea have to lose? >> i don't know that the u.s. woul

a way out of the chaos and the political instability that has plagued libya since the fall of moammar gadhafi now he thinks that the best way to do that is by getting some of libya's main rival leaders around the table to try and agree he's hoping by the end of this meeting to some sort of roadmap towards holding elections by the end of this year to unifying the central bank and he also wants to see a support for a national army now he tried to do a meeting like this last year in fact he held a meeting like this last year i should say in july and at that time he invited the two main libyan leaders the main rivals the u.n. backed prime minister fires also raj and the renegade command. who's based in the east of libya he got them around the table but many people said that that meeting was an representatives because it left out many other parts had going to around the table who were who were simply not included so that's why the french president this time has decided to widen this meeting he's invited all the libyan leaders as well as representatives from the united nations various international

nato air war against moammar gadhafi is libya which is the only major military use of force since 9/11 not covered under the aumf and action was aware the obama administration said they don't need congressional authorization for anyways, but unless it is an example of a military force can create new terrorist threats that didn't present exist. libya hardly came up on the radar as a theater in the global war on terror before the u.s. and its european allies overthrew moammar gadhafi but in the chaotic aftermath and the week wishing that replaced it libya has been, terrorism spike in libya. isis gained a foothold there. it has since been on the receiving end of just military action with i think dubious legal authority under the aumf. isis has taken even more egregious example. still the group that endangers the most year and headlights. isis grew out of the insurgency that rose to fight u.s. forces in iraq. as david kilcullen have seen advisor to general petraeus at height of the iraq surge put it, quote, there would be no isis if we had not invaded iraq. as early as 2006, the u.s. natio

we know years later what happened to moammar gadhafi. issue for the north koreans. that's why they were so angry at mike pence and john bolton. did they have a point? >> well, you know, i think bringing up the libyan model, if you look at the libyan model constructed under george w. bush's administration, it was successful. then gadhafi met his end. so the unease i do understand. perhaps bringing up the libyan model was not a wise thing in the long run but the first part of the libyan model was working. gadhafi gave up his nuclear preparations. and because he didn't want to see what would happen next. so now it's a big guess on how this works out in korea. but i am still hopeful we find a way to denuclearize that peninsula without war. south korea is so prosperous. they've got such a work ethic and educational foundation. they've sent at least 8 million south koreans to the united states for education. that whole country has been rebuilt in the last 60, 70 years. that same thing could be in store for north korea if we could just get past

you were there for the fall of moammar gadhafi. what is your feeling from having spoken to people who live in libya? what do they think about this ongoing rival governments set up in their country? that libyans have had enough of the conflict which has been wrecking their country since 2011. there was a nato intervention and a war broke out, leading to the war of mama gadaddafi, who d been in power 42 years. there was originally euphoria, but as time has gone on, there is a sense of fatigue. there are armed militias roaming the country. the islamic state managed to grab a foothold. over suicide bombings. the state of the economy has gotten worse and worse. inflation is very high. daily life for libyans is increasingly difficult. people are tired of the situation, and want to see some agreement. people find it difficult to know who to trust. there are rival governments in tripoli in the west and the east of libya. many complicated slender groups and armed factions. there is a fatigue in politics. we will have to wait and see whether

on the deal then today that kim jong un could follow the same fate as the late libyan leader moammar gadhafi. this will only end like the libya model and if kim jong un doesn't make a deal some people saw that as a threat well i think it's more of a fact referring to libya let's remind ourselves what happened to libyan leader gadhafi in return for economic aid and sanctions really he agreed to abandon his nuclear ambitions back in two thousand and three but within a few years he was overthrown and killed as a result of a naysayer lads' bombing campaign this is being somewhat of a warning to p.r. and in fact not the first time washington is drawing a parallel between kim and gadhafi yeah i think that's what denuclearization means and we have very much in mind the libyan model from two thousand and three two thousand and four the model if you look at that model with gadhafi that was a total decimation we went in there to beat him now that model would take place if we don't make a deal most likely it's not just this threatening rhetoric that's jeopardizing progress. in the negotiations with nor

fighting for official recognition of their language which was banned during the forty year rule of moammar gadhafi as margaret after what had reports from your friend the constitution continues to ignore the language seven years after the fall of gadhafi. the until now the radio station in libya while stands out as a landmark in the mountainous western town of v.f. are in. language means a speech as volunteers keep the radio station on air as best they can and how good a mob is no support from the government. loses gibby says programs promote its culture by interacting with listeners that. it was shameful to go out and say i'm a messy now we speak our own language freely we still have a long way to go but we're not giving up it's a mission we have to accomplish for generations to come and school teachers in a different are trying to do the same. thing in. the language was banned by mama to get deaf ear during his more than forty years in power now students can learn songs in schools but it is not always easy if it's all about the of course there are challenges especially when we compose songs in s

they have gone back and forth and donald trump even invoked the fate of moammar gadhafi obliquely and saying that is the path we can choose. >> i want to bring in msnbc diplomacy contributor and former u.s. official chris hill, ambassador hill joining us on the phone, knows the region very well. thank you for scrambling up to get on the phone with us during the middle of this breaking news. when might we see the next move? if the president has left the door open when does kim jong-un walk through that door? >> i would like to know what precisely secretary of state pompeo said to the north koreans and what did they say to him over what i gather is several hours. did they discuss the idea that north korea was prepared to negotiate some de-nuclearization or just talk about the three korean americans who returned from captivity? i think that would inform a question of where we go from here. we have a secretary of state who is willing to go to north korea and sit down and talk to them, why not send our assistant secretary or special envoy or someone who can say to the north koreans if you

model, right, not a great advertisement for any nuclear negotiations in light of what happened in moammar gadhafiible that via the cable news airwaves that he was, you know, expressing his own doubts about what might come out of the meetings, john bolton who has always been a north korea hawk. it is possible, certainly. the other point i would make is this, poppy, keep in mind, this is far from a political story, right? before there was talk of a summit, mthere was real concern here in washington about a conflict resulting from this, a military conflict, a shooting war over north korea was our own reporting with my colleague dana bash and others earlier this year and we remain confident in this that there were real discussions of the possibility of military action, that the president was closer to that option than many imagined in light of his concern about the threat there. if this summit is off, if negotiations as a whole are off, we are back in a very dangerous place here. i think we should be conscious of that. it is far more than a washington story, a politics story this is -- this could hav

if it doesn't sign off on a deal and ting he could follow the fate of the late libyan leader moammar gadhafi . this will only like the libyan model and the jong un doesn't make a deal some people saw that as a threat well i think it's more of a fact more details now from a correspondent. well being and let me take you through the latest developments while referring to libya let's remind ourselves what happened to libya needs colonel gadhafi in return for economic aid and sanctions relief he agreed to abandon his nuclear ambitions but in two thousand and three but within a few years he was overthrown and killed as a result of a nato led bombing campaign this has been somewhat of a warning to p.r. young and in fact it's not the first time washington has during the parallel between kim and gadhafi. i think that's what do you clear zation means and we have very much in mind the libya model from two thousand and three two thousand and four the model if you look at that model with gadhafi that was a total decimation we went in there to be that now that model would take place if we don't make a dea

backed air combine during the civil war that led to moammar gadhafi's death. still despite all the assurances, mr. trump suggested military action in north korea remains on the table. >> if you look at that model with gadhafi, that was a total decimation. that model would take place if we don't make a deal most likely, but if we make a deal, i think kim jong-un is going to be very, very happy. >> all i can hope for is that the president is attempting to reassure kim that he will not end up like gaddafi but the facts are, gadhafi ended up dead in a drain pipe. >> reporter: also tonight, the mexican government is calling out president trump for describing undocumented immigrants as animals wednesday. mexico telling the state department that is unacceptable. the president insists today he was talking about ms-13 gang members and says he would call them animals again. lester? >> peter alexander at the white house, thank you. >>> the cia has a new chief. gina haspel was confirmed by the senate today. the first woman to become the agency's director despite concerns
