and i think all the countries including the united states china russia and japan and south korea etc we need to be on the same page we cannot talk about war one day and talk about peace the other day we need to because sr and in our message projected towards d p r k on the other hand i think countries like china the united states and russia japan etc we need to close ranks rather then for example whenever there is a change for better or for worse you just point your accusing finger at your partners for example the united states should stop china stop pointing a finger against china building up a link about whatever there is the problem of d.p. r. k. in terms of its nuclear program launch vehicle program with china u.s. trade that's ridiculous that's really really indulge in fun to see because you are turning a good ally a good partner a good counterpart in terms of trade and economic relations into a potential friction point therefore i think i urge all the united states to mature up and grow up and really become a leader of the world rather then it becomes a frederick in terms of de

nor is china, russia, japan and the neighboring communities. let's be clear here -- that nuclear threat is as much a threat to -- in fact more of a threat to the surrounding neighbors than it is to the united states. we do have a missile defense system that would be effective against north korea's intercontinental ballistic missiles. the neighborhood does not. so everybody in that region has the same interests. that is, to prevent north korea from having and then utilizing their nuclear weapons. we're all in this game together, and that's extremely important, because that, then, leads to the kind of negotiations that we have to engage north korea on. will they give up their nuclear weapons? that's why you negotiate. to find if there is a way to achieve that. there are many ways, and mr. tillerson -- secretary tillerson said it well. we're not into regime change and any negotiations. one of the things on the table for discussion. >> congressman, when administration officials say the president has all options available, all options are on the tab

legislation specifically for big point of watching technology then we have legalization in japan we have russia the united states we have a lot of our south american countries china even has been fairly friendly in dealing with their exchanges there so weird i mean it's it's not being banned which is are being burned you know which is you know they're not they're not going after they're not putting galileo under house arrest for doing math you know and that's really what that point is it's just math grad so we're where we were seeing that there's this drive towards regeneration and you know deciding that we're going to accept and use and innovate and allow the fostering of this industry as opposed to persecution of it right you know you tend to give folks the big picture you're very well read very. someone who's also involved in looking at the history of innovation and monetary theory and money and this as you point out is math and you know going back centuries innovation and technology has driven geo political. development intentions and resolutions and i love the way kind of a capsule way of

the united states, japan, china, russia, europeans, africans, south americans, we are all together. what are we saying? we are all denouncing north korea's outrageous act against another un member state, japan. we are all demanding north korea stop any future missile launches. we are all demanding north korea abandon its nuclear weapons. north korea has violated every single security council resolution and violated international law. we are all calling on every nation to strictly, fully and immediately implement all security council sanctions on north korea. the rul world is united against north korea. there is no doubt about that. it is time for the north korean regime to recognize the danger they're putting themselves in. the united states will not allow their lawlessness to continue.

. >> we can look further afield as well, and chin russia, japan.ion and cryptocurrencies. we should be ready to be not surprised where the real progress arrives. is also important to look beyond cryptocurrencies and consider for example the implications of smart contracts. there are very exciting developments which are also builds from the same essential foundations. >> there been questions as to whether one digital currency will win out over all. do you believe one will or can we have many? >> i think we will probably have many. if you look at the governance debates and the technology debates that have been sping the recent developments of bitcoin -- i don't think any major currency is immune. governance is a challenge. scaling is a challenge. it is systemically useful to have real diversity of currency. just as it is useful to have diversity in almost every other. >> what is interesting is government interaction between yourself and level 39. are you discussing with government how they should be adopting and looking at cryptocurrencies? you are

if we look at china, russia, japan, great innovation in crypto currency.ould be ready to be unsurprised about where the real progress arrives. of course, it is also important to look beyond the cryptocurrencies and consider implications of smart contracts. there are exciting developments that also come from the same essential foundation. caroline: there have been questions as to whether one digital currency will win out over all. do you believe that one will, or can we have many? >> i believe we will probably have many. if you look at the government debates and technology debates, particularly of that coin, but i don't think any currency is immune -- governance is a challenge, and scaling is a challenge. it's unlikely one challenger will emerge. it is useful to have diversity in almost every other -- in everything. caroline: are you discussing with government how they should be adopting and looking at cryptocurrencies? you used to work with u.k. ti, getting startups invested. >> the government already does a fantastic job. the regulator does a great job of

meetings north korea attends along with stakeholders in the korean missile appeared the u.s., china, russia, japannd south korea. with tensions rising in the korean peninsula and pyongyang wanting to ballistic missiles in july alone, there is an urgent need to put a lid on north korea's nuclear weapons program. this is the chance for all of the leaders to talk about that. we heard from south korean leaders, the foreign minister, who said she is open to discussions with the north. the last time the two sides talk to each other was back in 2015. there has been great tension. leaders just yesterday came out with a statement suggesting that north korea's missile launches were a great concern. they say north korea is disturbing the peace and prosperity not just in the region of the world. as was mentioned earlier, the yuan securities -- the un security council has come out with action. sanctions affecting exports of north korea, with about $1 billion. will that work? this is the third set of sanctions in 18 months. will they work? to australia'se foreign minister this morning. here is what she said. >>

just as hitler's willing to -- on his access partner in japan, russia will take advantage of it. it could move some troops over from japan. japan it is not going to be outdone. japan will have a nonaggression , 1941 with russia. that will allow russia to take its troops back again. it could not have come as a worse time for hitler's. it is indicative that these acts andussolini, hitler, stalin do not trust anyone of the other. they are not at all integrated. that is the case of being when in the united states. germany's way of thinking is well.hing have turned out german people did not sign up for this. signed up because they bought the propaganda that they had never lost world war i. they had surrendered 70 miles belgium and parts of france. they were stabbed in the back so hitler'snd jews and that nazi fascist party told them. they were treated very poorly at versailles. it humiliated the germans affecting their ability to come back or to make war. delighted people are about poland, whom they thought grew at their expense after world war i. with denmark because it is easy. they

because that particular nuclear weapon could go on the shorter-range missiles and threaten china, russia, japanr -- and certainly south korea. and so it is a problem that we have to deal with. liz: okay. >> at the same time there's good news -- liz: go ahead, we will take good news. >> the good news is that there's a -- the sanctions are in place, both the united nations as well as those that we passed out of the congress and the president signed, that puts incredible pressure on north korea and the secretary of state has said, let's get to the negotiating table and that's exactly what we should do. liz: they don't want to come to the negotiating table if you listen to them or maybe it but yesterday in one of those commented upon interviews that we have right here in countdown we talked to lieutenant general tom and we were just talking about the sanctions that were passed this weekend and whether they are too late and here is how he feels, this may go down, listen and then comment. >> now, what i would tell them is, mr. kim jong un, if one round of artillery goes into seoul, korea, you will ge

now, civilians in france, germany, russia, japan, and elsewhere experienced the terror of the war firsthand. so did some americans who could not only see it themselves but hear it, feel it, smell it, and even taste it. norma was 15 and living in military housing outside pearl harbor when she woke, she said it sounded like marbles hitting the pavement. and the japanese plane was creeping her street on december 7th, 1941. there was a grocery delivery person with a grocery person, had just finished morning deliveries, was sitting in his truck and could feel the percussion of the blast. american civilians died when their homes were hit with explosives. unfortunately, it is thought to be from u.s. anti-aircraft fire that fell to the ground and then exploded. daniel anoye was 17 at the time, although japanese american, he had first date experience and was called in to help. he was sent in to a civilian home with a box and asked to place, try to place only the pieces of one body in every box. and if you have been very near a fire or the immediate aftermath of a fire, you might imagine that he woul

united states is more concerned -- to me that north korea is more concerning than south korea, russia, japanchina. we are more worried about them than they are. and alaska is fairly close, but most of our country is thousands of miles away. i think we can settle it -- and again, why should we believe anything the government says or the cia says after iraq? even going back to vietnam. about ourg my doubts entry into world war ii -- that was supposed to be the good war. there is not such a thing. host: we will go next to carl, houston, texas. caller: i wanted to say thank you for c-span. i think this is a really, really bad move. i think for america to follow donald trump blindly is very foolish. seen this,hould have ever since the russian thing pointed -- wes were pointed toward a war to take the focus off of what donald trump has done. it's amazing -- barack obama did everything he could to help americans. he did everything he could to take every little advancement or help that barack obama has put out and destroy it. now he is willing to, after doing that, because of this thing with russia

the u.s., china, russia, japan and south korea on how we're going to try to take this to the next level of working out an agreement with the north koreans. >> michael, as we know, as all presidents should, be listening to advisers with the bevy of knowledge and also kind of a difference of opinions when it comes to options here. obviously, the president is in favor of what we saw with the u.n., but considering the different factions in this west wing, michael, from a steve bannon that doesn't want us to be in afghanistan to other people who might be a little more hawkish about this, do you think that donald trump's first option would be more of a military suggestion that he's going to follow through with when it comes to thwarting north korea? >> that's his first instinct, but whether that would translate into an actual policy move is really hard to say. look, i mean, north korea, there are very few options. there are no good options in north korea that we've gone back and forth between sanctions trying to negotiate threatening, some sort of vigorous military response, but nothing seems

the united states, japan, china, russia, europeans, africans, south americans, we are all together. what are we saying? we are all denouncing north korea's outrageous act against another un member state, japan. we are all demanding north korea stop any future missile launches. we are all demanding north korea abandon its nuclear weapons. north korea has violated every single security council resolution and violated international law. we are all calling on every nation to strictly, fully and immediately implement all security council sanctions on north korea. the rul world is united against north korea. there is no doubt about that. it is time for the north korean regime to recognize the danger they're putting themselves in. the united states will not allow their lawlessness to continue. and the rest of the world is with us. thank you. >> i now give the floor to the representative of china >> thank you, mr. president. the security resolutions contain clear provisions with ballistic missile capability. china opposes such launch activity by this in violation. they call to comply with th

as we talk about china and the united states, russia, japan, .orth korea at the end of the day, any u.s. policy is only going to go as far as our democratic republic of korea what us to go. they are the ones that live in the neighborhood. >> another? here. theetting back to the theme. if president trump articulated anything in the campaign, i think it is safe to say he wanted a more confrontational approach to china. it controversially less confrontational approach to russia -- a controversially less confrontational approach to russia. he said he did not think that would go very far because he he thought the rapprochement with china was important to putin. i'd like you to comment on that. if president trump takes the kind of go-it-alone approach -- i think it's ironic that the chinese clearly like the current world order and i think it's ironic that at davos which has become symbolic of the world order, what the keynote speaker was president ji. -- president xi. >> let me just say something about russian attitude president trump. there was a lot of coverage in our press about, i think,

maybe it will make it easier for him to do that. >> japan calling for the group to meet. russiaons don't work. conversation at united nations security council, what else could be the fallout? >> the basic issue is that we have been dealing with north korea on a nonproliferation basis for decades. the question is whether that is the whole framework that is right or not. my own view for a long time is that like it or not probably the korean peninsula will go nuclear. i don't see any significant deterrent to north korea from developing, particularly the icbm. , i thinkhat happens south korea will want its own nuclear weapons. either u.s. tactical weapons that used to be there until 1996, or it may develop its own. >> how will china respond to that? they will not like it. it at all.l not like they need to figure out the balance of having a buffer state our allowing north korea to go nuclear. themeast costly thing for to drop as the opposition to north korea going nuclear. >> you have to weigh the benefits of either having a buffer state or having them provoked more. about how this i

prosperity of japan korea but they should also bear in mind that at the same time when it takes sides complicated the situation and created more conflicts look at territorial disputes between russia and japan washington always stand on the side of their allies and when there is a south china sea dispute washington stand stood on the side of the philippines and when there is an east china sea island dispute standing on the side of the japanese again so without regarding the historical issues of comfort women issue with the. in a war issue those issues were largely forgotten but they should bear in mind those historical perspectives to truly understand the realities of today and if they did that maybe western audience would think differently about this what i would say is a manufactured crisis that we see every couple of years so i want to thank my guests in washington boston and in beirut and thanks to our viewers for watching us here r.t. see you next time and remember. by then. so it. can be most of it was a p how did the multiple injuries among can't connect them to keep sophie home. but the show's real you know most of the phone to phone my book and even before people from the

in northeast asia the united states china russia japan south korea at and now north korea possesses nuclear weapons it's a tinderbox that needs some kind of regional mechanism to address issues of peace and security what i think is important for any audience to understand is that north korea's never threatened to preemptively strike the united states with a missile or with a nuclear weapon and that it has always been in every statement and even reiterated by the foreign minister in the latest i.c. and eatings is that north korea will not consider. being or ending its nuclear missile program as long as a hostile policy remains against north korea and when we look at the coming over to rex for sizes that are raised between the u.s. and south korea these are the largest in the world they involved the wind their aircraft carrier simulating invasion a preemptive strike on earth that would kapatid its regime and so you know i don't think that north korea is paranoia is not justified it is because they feel that their regime and their country sovereignty is at threat and so i think that's where th

this morning, we learn russia and japan are scrambling to deploy their air defense system and china is calling on the u.s. and north korea to calm things down. president trump tweeting this, military solutions are fully in place, locked and loaded should north korea act unwisely. hopefully, kim jong-un will find another path. let's get the latest. will ripley is in beijing. first, sara, to you, with the president starting the day off like this, what else should we expect from the president? >> reporter: well, certainly the president is not looking to soften his tone. it's interesting, there was a white house official trying to down play the president's language saying this is not new, the u.s. always has a military option lready for military action. it is new to see a president boasting about u.s. military might when tensions are rising with a nuclear power like north korea. today, the president will be hu hunkered down. he is meeting with nikki haley, the ambassador to the united nations. rex tillerson will be there as well as hr mcmaster. they are trying to take a lead on the diploma

korean peninsula or the korean peninsula is a very strategically located place for china, for russia, for japany want the status quo, just without nuclear weapons. there is a larger thing at play here as well, if north korea is able to keep its capability, develop it further, to proliferation of nuclear weapons is going to occur. it's going to occur either in japan, which china does not want, it's going to spread to iran, saudi arabia, then you end up with madness everywhere. this is not to say that china is able to fix all this either. they are not the ultimate solution, they don't have complete control over north korea, but it becomes in their interest to keep the status quo, minus nuclear weapons and that's what people start to push for. >> melissa: it seems hard to imagine that it would stay in power. he has said he's not going to do that,'s the idea you don't need regime change and somehow can have them disarmed of their nuclear capability seems hard to imagine, but we'll see. things were coming on, we appreciate your time. >> jon: he's a young inventor with a hot idea. this 11-year-old bo

is ready to turn on his access partner, japan, russia will take advantage of it. it could move some troops over from japan. japan it is not going to be outdone. remember among thieves there is no honor. japan, in turn, will have a nonaggression pact in april, 1941 with russia. that will allow russia to take its troops back again. notice the timing. it could not have come as a was time for hitler. it is indicative that these acts of mussolini, hitler, and stalin do not trust anyone of the other. that is the case of being when in the united states. germany's way of thinking is everything have turned out well. german people did not sign up for this. they signed up because they bought the propaganda that they they had surrendered 70 miles here into belgium and parts of france. they were stabbed in the back by communists and jews so -- or so hitler and that nazi fascist party told them. they were treated very poorly at versailles. it is very sad to the softer word. that's what the versailles treaty did. it humiliated the germans without affecting their ability to come b

he was in the room with the foreign ministers of russia, china, japan and so on, but not the secretary of state, the u.s. secretary secretary of state rex tillerson he did not attend that meeting. presumably not wanting to be in the same room as the north korean minister. pile the pressure on north korea here. he had by laterals with just about everybody. it is on an almost united summit of 26 nations against one here, against north korea. even china giving the north koreans a very public dressing down, saying that their missile tests were provocative and had to stop and that it was destabilizing the region. and tonight secretary of state rex tillerson has been meeting the philippines president the hard-liner criticized around the world for his human rights record. but on two issues they do agree. he has been very critical of kim jong-un, calling him a fool, calling hm a lot worse than that, a man who likes to play with very dangerous toys. so rex tillerson and even the philippines president united on the need to confront north korea. of course, this summit has all been about talks, ho

this morning, we learn russia and japan are scrambling to deploy their air defense system and china is

russia. they may take the ship to japan.so we would need to be prepared to accept or handle those refugees. and, of course, the united states would take initiative or spearhead some of the activities, and japanese self-defense force is not going, would not going to be the major, primary role, but we will have definitely a logistical support to the united states. >> yes, ma'am, in the back. [speaking in native tongue] >> translator: i like to ask the question. this is unusual because i usually cannot ask a question in japanese. thank you for mentioning oconomowoc, dr. greenhalgh -- okinawa, dr doctor. earlier mr. oriki and mr. iwasaki was talk about moving military power sends a signal that alliance is a weekend. so when you talk about move or realignment, what kind of skill are you talking about? for example, marines and okinawa or one unit in oconomowoc? what kind are you talk about? if you could clarify that that would be great. and also defense of okinawa. historically speaking, prior to world war ii the imperial japanese

if you look at japan, italy, argentina, russia -- these countries have had debt for a long time. it is not as harmful as people think. peterson institute is a nonprofit, nonpartisan think tank. it affects -- it studies the u.s. and issues at home. we cover macro stuff. our fellows have served in democratic or republican administrations. we work for better, fairer simpler taxes. we were among the groups that were done the irs' structuring and reformat in 1988. host: we have 45 minutes to discussion with our panel. republicans, (202) 748-8001. democrats, (202) 748-8000. independents, (202) 748-8002. we will start with rick in fairfax, virginia, for republicans. good morning -- the line for republicans, good morning. caller: according to the congressional budget office, progressive.ion is arise, themes taxation effectively increases. anyone can google cbo is your vision of taxes and confirm what of taxesg -- cbo -- and confirm what i am saying. can you agree it is growing at a progressive rate? guest: i am on the advisory panel l, i am glad you are citing it. in terms of the distrib

the association of southeast asian nations, and some affiliated countries like the u.s., russia, south korea, japan, but the big topic of discussion right now is north korea. its two intercontinental ballistic missile tests carried out in spite of all international security council resolutions and the decision saturday to slap new sanctions on north korea banning its exports of coal and iron, and even seafood, something that the u.s. government argues will cut at least a third of its export revenues. the chinese foreign minister says that he put pressure on north korea during his meeting with a north korean counterpart here in manila. >> translator: we have indeed conducted in-depth discussion. china urged north korea to treat the new resolutions by the u.n. security council regarding north korea in a calm manner, and not to conduct missile tests and nuclear tests, which violates u.n. security council resolutions and the desire of the international community. of course, we will also urge all other parties, especially the united states and south korea, not to further escalate the tension. i think th

ambitions certainly front and center as secretary tillerson joins representatives from china, japan, russia the summit. let's stus this and more with retired john kirby. stokesman pentagon and state department and whith us, global afays elise labott. the foreign minister will also be there in manila at this summit. secretary tillerson said he hasn't ruled out the possibility of speaking to the u.s., addressing speaking directly with north korean officials. is that possible? there could be a conversation there? >> it's possible, but not likely, wolf. a meeting would have to be really prepared and certain points that secretary tillerson would want to address. i think what you're going to see at this meeting is absolutely the opposite. the u.s. looking to isolate the north korean foreign minister at this meeting and try to seek suspending north korea's membership in asean. i think what secretary tillerson said was very significant the other day. you have a lot of mixed messages coming from this administration about, you know, whether there should be military action. whether there should be tal

remember -- russia declared war on japan a week before they surrendered. it was the appeasement of the roosevelt administration that give north korea to the russians and the communists. host: a tweet from michael online at @cspanwj. "korea was the first cold war on conflict." another call from aaron in washington state, republican line. caller: i think you have to understand that when you are negotiating, you have to have two people who are willing to negotiate in good faith. what i see in the korean str ucture, it reminds me of chamberlin's -- chamberlain's great victory after the germans -- "peace inrussia our time." i do not think the north koreans have kept to anything they have ever agreed to with anybody except the chinese. aaron in washington state. a headline at cnbc. the u.s.-south korean wargames provide trigger that could further inflame pyongyang. kim delury in seoul, jong-un has often used in these occasions, whether they are those sorts of things, to boost up the rhetoric. are othertion there dates coming up like this that we should be mindfu

and he sent them to 25 other foreign ministers from russia, china, india, japan, but not to rex tillerson. rex tillerson was a no show at this meeting. just as he had been at the summit dinner last night. appeared simply didn't want to be in the same room as the north korean foreign minister listening to this stuff. the north korean foreign minister said we're ready to give the u.s. a severe lesson with our nuclear capability, if the united states takes military action. now, there's always been that if in that threat. it's not new. what is new. the u.n. sanctioned passed this past weekend and severe economic sanctions and the north korean minister saying the country would retaliate against those sanctions. also, he said, we will never put our nuclear capability or our missiles on the negotiating table and he ended with a flourish saying there is no bigger mistake than the u.s. believing its land is safe across the ocean. as i say, a lot of that is restating old threats but given its increased capability, it's more menacing. mr. tillerson, as i said, rallying. the other foreign ministers p

russia, could have veto power. there have been suggestions that perhaps the u.s. and japanrge perhaps an oil embargo of some sort or oil sanctions to further cripple the north korean economy as punishment. that is something perhaps the chinese would not want. they have restricted coal imports also, iron or and lead or my into china from north korea. 50% of the exports from north korea to china are coal. any sanctions on oil imports to that country by the global economy, that could seriously cripple the north korean economy. keep in mind sanctions have not worked. they might be hurting the north korean economy but they have not any closer jong un to the bargaining or negotiating table. manus: she calls on china, they have a key role in putting your north korea. refused to rule out military action. this is about bringing global pressure on china to do more, isn't it simme? stephen: she was due to arrive an hour ago down south. she will be here in tokyo tomorrow. there are british flags, the union jack are flying above me along with the japanese flag. we are standing in front
