he's been tryinged to shield kim from blame of from this. he said he would not have noted to did that because it would not be to his damage talking about kim. almost like lawyering on his behalf. this has been a chronic problem for donald trump ever since he declared his candidacy. the way he talks the human rights abuses of other countries. he tends to relativize them. whether it's the kingdom of saudi arabia. an old enemy like north korea or even saying that the united states killed a lot of people too. he is not over that problem. >> shannon: and for the helsinki situation, he is relational. his relationships are the key for him to get important concessions for the u.s. he won't insult them directly. that's how he believes he gets the deal done. >> the strategy is personal diplomacy. he found the limits in this second summit. he tried the term approach and tried to talk up his love of kim jong-un. it still didn't get him the dole. as he conducts this attempt to promote peace in korea. we have moved on.as he conducts promote peace in korea

kim is reich, no, you can't test the sites! i was right ability you! trump is, like, no, kim! i need to build a wall around my heart! ( crying ) ( applause ) that's how it all went down and now, even though kim jong un made trump fly to the other side to have the world for nothing, trump still believes that they can work things out. >> when we walked away, it was a very friendly walk. we shook hands, we -- you know, there's a warp that we have -- a warmth that we have. i hope that stays, i think it will. we will keep the relationship. we'll see what happens over the next period of time. >> trevor: oh, shame, donald, this is so tough to watch because we really all have been there. you told your friends this was going to work out and, despite the warnings, you still carried on, and now you're trying to save face because you think everyone's judging you, which we totally are, but instead of dragging this out, i think it's time to accept that just maybe similar is just not that into you. we'll be right back. ( cheers and applause ) howdy folks! try my $20 fill up, you have ten sec

. -- certaindown with kim jong-un. president trump: we decided we wanted to walk. >> this was an embarrassing defeat for the president of the united states on the world stage. >> i think he did the right thing in walking away with no deal. my guess is donald trump invested way too much in terms of his personal relationship with kim. >> i think it's a positive step and not a setback. howie: does he deserve credit for rejecting a bad deal. nancy pelosi and alexandria ocasio-cortez warn moderate democrats after a gun control vote, they could face consequences. plus an exposee on facebook censors, they say they are so traumatized they are smoking dope, having sex in stairwells or embracing conspiracy theories. i'm howard kurtz and this is "mediabuzz." [♪] cbs, nbc and abc in a rare move joined the cable news networks in airing the house testimony of the man who was donald trump's fixer for more than a decade. he'll be serving a 3-year prison term for lying. this time he says he's telling the truth. >> i'm ashamed i chose

trump said he trusted kim as well. now, maybe you think, well, kim jong-un is just killing his own people and it is not really america's problem. well, it is not just north koreans whose deaths he is responsible for, but the president doesn't see it that way. here is what he said yesterday when asked about the murder of otto warmbier in custody in north korea. >> what happened is horrible. i really believe something very bad happened to him and i don't think that the top leadership knew about it, and i will -- i did speak about it, and i don't believe that he would have allowed that to happen. just wasn't to his advantage to allow it to happen. those prisons are rough. they're rough places and bad things happened. but i really don't believe that he was -- he -- i don't believe he knew about it. >> did he say -- did he tell you that he did not -- kim jong-un, did he tell you -- >> he felt badly about it. i did speak to him. he knew the case very well but he knew it later, and, you know, he's got a lot of people. it is a

when you hear president trump praising kim jong-un and saying that he believes that kim jong-un didn't know what happened to otto warmbier, i'm wondering what your perspective is on that. >> well, first, our hearts are with the warmbier family for their courage, for their patience, for their putting up with this amazing, amazing political expediency on the part of donald trump. i have very special connection with otto. otto was the student of university of virginia, same school thomas jefferson's university, where captain khan went to school. >> your son. >> so i feel a special connection with otto, and he will never be forgotten. we want warmbier family to know that we stand with them, america stands with them. all decent america stands with them. now, i had said that two years ago, and i have repeated that several times, that donald trump lacks empathy. most unfit person for the office of the president of the united states. time after time. my statement is proven correct. we will continue to be embarrassed as the leaders of our national security have been embarrassed by donald trump.

kim took a 60 hour train ride. president trump flew 17 hours plus to go half way around the world. >> sometimes you have to walk and this was just one of those times. >> brennan: they left with a stalemate and a pledge to have diplomats continue talking. but even that may be a winning prospect for kim, who no longer appears the pariah. he stayed in vietnam after the summit to tour hotspots, an option not afforded to his people, they are forbidden to travel. still, the sanction sanctions cs country's economy remain as do widespread food shortages, north korea is scrapped for cash due to crippling global sanctions so it relies on illicit trade and even state owned businesses like this restaurant which sends known back to pyongyang. >> now it may be even harder to get other countries to shut down these small operations. actor kim earned the right to sit across from the pea as almost an equal, since he figured out how to threaten the u.s. with nuclear weapons and then flattered him with letters flirting with the idea o

love with kim. that would not be very good for the united states or the west. >> mick mulvaney, the acting white house chief of staff today, described the president. he said the president really is a master negotiator and he was able to walk away from a deal. that's kind of north korean levels of praise for a leader. so do you agree to a point that trump actually handled this quite well in hanoi? >> i think walking out was the right decision. handling it well, no. you have to be tougher with kim jong-un and the north koreans and this discussion about oh, he sends me beautiful letters. we fell in love. playing right into his hands. he's a brutal dictator. don't treat him as your prom date. donald trump, maybe i would want to take him with me when i'm buying a used car, but i don't think i at this point would want to take him to summits. >> reporter: let's talk now about otto warmbier, this young american student who died after 18 months in north korean custody. now we just saw in brian's package ther

kim has vowed to get the economy moving again. in april twenty eighth kim with south korea's president for the first into korean summits in eleven years. in just came travel to singapore for a summit meeting with u.s. president donald trump first made only big promises about denuclearization. what can we expect from kim at the honduras summit. what can we expect there and the media aftermath of the hanoi summit and i suppose cherry just tell us get tell us though the one thing we need to know what i need to know to understand kim better. i think. at least in the region he is the second youngest state neither you know while people in the region see him as very progressive at least to his father and his grandfather and they would expect more from. because he also studied abroad when he was young and had some international experience kim a progressive leader is not the way he's seen in south korea as well surely not. i think it's definitely south korea actually. since the the into korea summit that last year. people came to think tha

both countries once fought the united states and kim jong—un laid wreaths ata states and kim jong—un laid wreaths at a heroes' memorial and at the grave of ho chi min. vietnam is run bya grave of ho chi min. vietnam is run by a collective leadership. he said he wanted to learn from vietnam's development. but how far down this path is he willing to go? after the set back of his meeting with president trump, it is hard to guess. it has been a proud moment for vietnam, a country which rarely stands tall in international affairs. for some it may have failed, but it has show cased vietnam's willingness to be friendses with everyone. so they gave kim jong—un a grandiose send off as he boarded his train at the chinese border. no one quite sure where this once reclusive leader will next take his country. the abrupt conclusion to the summit will have come as much of a blow to kim jong—un as to president trump. but kim jong—un controls his jong—un as to president trump. but kimjong—un controls his media and the visit has been depicted as nothing short of a triumph and he gets a rare

chris: did kim say anything? you remember famously gorbachev and reagan, and gorbachev said what more could i have said, and reagan said you could have said yes on sdi in iceland. any moment like that? >> well, i think there were several. he kept saying take, what he called, the big deal. make the decision, give up the nuclear, chemical and biological weapons, give up the ballistic missiles. he handed kim jong un a piece of paper -- actually two, one in korean, one in english -- that laid out what we wanted, and you get this piece of real estate that could have an extraordinary economic future. chris: and what did kim say? >> he walked away from it. chris: all right. meanwhile, the president seemed to absolve kim jong un of any responsibility in the torture and death of otto warmbier. take a look. >> in those prisons, in those camps you have a lot of people and some really bad things happened to otto, some really, really bad things, but he tells me, he tells me that he didn't know about it, and i will take him at

he said kim jong un denied knowing about it and he believed him. i don't believe kim jong un is on the level and the president has believed putin over his own intelligence officials. the president said that but it's strange. there's something wrong with putin, kim jong un, in my view, thugs, that the president chooses to believe. >> what should the consequence be the president did violate campaign finance laws while in office? >> i haven't -- let me just say, i read you what we're doing here. we're constantly busy. so i didn't sit dun and watch the proceedings yesterday but i do know what i saw in the reporting of many of you, that chairman cummings was just a magnificent maestro and each and every one of our members did a very good job in trying to elist -- elicit the truth to try to get to the facts. some of it was confirmation, as jerry connolly said. some of it confirmed things they had heard otherwise. some of it as you heard was possibly new. some of the high profile statements seemed new. this, again, i not in any am position to verify what

larry, let's start with trump, kim jong un, and otto warmbier. why is president trump giving kim jong un a pass on otto warmbier? >> the kindest explanation would probably be that he had just had an unsuccessful summit with kim jong un and he was trying to maintain some cordiality in the hope that an agreement could be reached in the near future. awise it otherwise, it's almost impossible to understand although he has a lengthy history of taking care of authoritarians and justifying the outrageous acts they perpetrate on others. >> he gave him a pass on the murder of jamal khashoggi. why does the president give these authoritarian rulers, why does he give them a pass? >> i wish i were a psychologist instead of a political scientist and i'd probably have a better answer for you, but it's pretty obvious to anybody that's studied trump's career pre-presidential as well as presidential that he is authoritarian by nature. he enjoys the company of other authoritarians. i think he wishes that he has powers equivalent to theirs so in a way he looks up to

that's life in the big city. >> chris: did kim say anything? remember famously gorbachev and reagan and gorbachev said what more could i have said and reagan said you could have said yes on sti in iceland. any moment like that? >> john: i think there were several. if the president kept saying take what he called the big deal, denuclearization, make a decision, give up the nuclear chemical and biological weapons, give up the ballistic missiles, he handed kim jong un a piece of paper, actually to go, one in korean and one english that laid out what we expected there and in exchange for that you get this well-placed piece of real estate as the president charges it from his business experience, that could have an extraordinary economic future. >> chris: what did kim say? >> john: he walked away from it. >> chris: all right. meanwhile, the president seemed to absolve kim jong un of any responsibility in the torture and death of otto warmbier. take a look. >> in most prisons and those camps if you have a lot of people and some really bad things happe

he deepened his relationship with kim jong-un. i don't view it as a failure at all when anatio interests are protected. >> brennan: but to be clear, north korea still has not agreed to denuclearize as the u.s. defines? it. >> not as we have defined it, although they have committed this public and regimes in north korea four or five times in writing to denuke cries. >> brennan: so that doesn't mean much to to you? >> which we expect them to do if they reach an agreement with us. >> on the specific a seen 0 your state department official spoke to reporters and said what the north koreans proposed specifically was about dissonant ling the three-mile pyongyang complex which he defined as the total at this of north korea 0's plutonium reprocessing and enrichment program in exchange for lifting all sanctions except those on the weapon programs. did the u.s. make a counteroffer? >> well, the counteroffer has been there from the beginning, from the very first summit back in singapore, which is if north korea commits to complete denucleari

kim jong—un is to meet with the vietnamese prime minister. what do you think he hopes to get out of that, long—term? he's talking about learning from vietnam's economic success. it is all done in the name of socialist fraternity. these are two of the last communist ruled countries left on earth, and lots of the language is couched in this rather archaic way we used to see between meetings between communist countries. i think the inspiration of vietnam and its economic success is very important to him. whether he can go as far, even as close to what vietnam has done right now, is a big question. north korea is very isolated. this economy is thoroughly integrated into the global trading network, it is a member of asean and is a partner of the united states. it is not at all clear how far down that will north korea can go. but this is one of the few countries he could visit where he would feel com pletely co mforta ble. this has still been a slightly different chip than the one when he went to singapore. it was a novelty seeing him there, and

what can we expect from kim at the hundred. more can we expect there in the media the aftermath of the how it always summit and i suppose charity just tell us that the one thing. we need to know what i need to know to understand kim better. i think. at least in the region he is the second youngest state neither you know while people in the region see him as very progressive at least to his father and his grandfather and they expect more from. because he also studied abroad when he was young and had some international experience kim a progressive leader is not the way he's seen in south korea as well surely not. i think it's definitely south korea actually. since the. the into korea summit last year. people came to think that you know right definitely much more open than liberal and that same time she already stabilized these on power in the country so. then the people changed their perspective and he can go on a lot actually it's more. positive than negative and it's interesting we talk a lot about the chemistry between donald

he doesn't mention kim jong—un. and i suspect that is not going to satisfy the family and it will certainly leave some republicans and undoubtedly many democrats feeling that the president has not gone far enough. it is very clear that president trump wants to defend his relationship with kim jong—un. even though this was an u nsuccessful jong—un. even though this was an unsuccessful summit, he continues to believe there is potentially a deal to be done between america and north korea. but what worries some within his own party, what worries even some of his own very vocal supporters, is that he continues to praise kim jong—un. if you supporters, is that he continues to praise kimjong—un. if you look supporters, is that he continues to praise kim jong—un. if you look at what he said about him, he said he was somebody he believes was very smart and was somebody he believes was very smartand a was somebody he believes was very smart and a real leader. given the north korean regime, those are pretty strong wo

kim idat kim jong-un is playing a game with the ouworld. today he feels vindicated. "trump, moon, and the whole world is being deceived by kim jong-un," he says. "the south korean government kim is not goin tobu give up nuclear weapons it went to the united states and said kim is ready to give up nuclear weapons. prident trump accepted that and believed it until today." they may not be said that the latest trump-kim summit has co to nothing, but many others feel massively disappointed. this is the road to north korea and to a large south korean-run industrial zone that used to employ tens of thousands of north korean workers. three yearsgo in the face of northorn missile tests, it was completely shut down. hopes were high that the hanoi summit could leadit t reopening. now those hopes have been dashed a factory outside seoul, hexp isining how these machines make terminals that go inside mobile phones. until three years ago, the also-ran another -- he also ran another, much bigger factor across the border in kaeson. "we are devaated," he tells . "we thought it was goi

defectors like mr kim have long warned that kim jong—un is playing a game with the outside world, and today, he feels vindicated. "trump, moon and the whole world is being deceived by kimjong—un," he tells me. "the south korean government must know that kim is not going to give up his nuclear weapons, but he went to the united states and told them kim is ready to give up his weapons. president trump accepted that and believed it until today." those on the right here in south korea may not be sad the latest trump kim summit has come to nothing, but many others feel massively disappointed. this behind me is the road to kaesong in north korea, and to a large south korean run industrial zone that used to employ tens of thousands of north korean workers. three years ago, in the face of north korean missile tests, it was completely shut down. hopes were high that the hanoi summit could lead to kaesong reopening, now those hopes have been dashed. at a factory outside seoul, this man is explaining how these machines made goldplated terminals that go inside mobile phones. until three years a

>> oh, i think kim jong-un is begging for a third date with donald trump because the more that kim jong-un can extend this in the future, that's more time that the new normal of a north korea with nuclear weapons, with relationships around the world, and with crumbling sanctions regime that gives it access to revenue can continue to accumulate. it is in kim's interest to keep talking to donald trump so all the other activities can continue in the interim. the longer this goes, the better for kim. >> samantha vinograd, thanks so much. good to see you. >> thank you. >>> while on that trip something else very serious was stirring. the family of otto warmbier issues a sharp rebuke of president trump after his shocking public defense of the north korean dictator, kim jong-un, in the brutal mistreatment and death of their son. brian todd has more on how the family did not hold back. >> reporter: analysts called it a low point in an already dismal news conference. >> he tells me he didn't know about it and i will take him at his word. >> reporter: the president saying he supported north korean di

trump and kim? a third summit >> i know the president has woken about his willingness to continue to meet with chairman kim, possibly in a third summit we don't have anything to announce today, helene. but in our view in the president you, top level engagement does help create the space. from my point of view as a negotiator that kind of engagement does create base for us at the working level two test out ideas and see if we can close the gap. that will ultimately be up to the president. that will be driven by the course of events but the president hasn't ruled that out. >> miss laura rockwood, is the u.s. pressing north korea to accept iea sectors? >> we would very much see part of the complete process of denuclearization in north korea to include north korea's return to the nonproliferation treaty and additional protocols. toward that end i a ea has an important monitoring rule to ensure that certain practices continue to be observed to international standards. we are not at the point with the nor

kim jong-un came by train to vietnam and drove the rest of the way. i have been to hanoi, and south korea. from the last call is chris, in falls church, virginia, on the independent line. caller: my question goes back to the $22 trillion debt and what has not been done about it through multiple congresses. that there is a failure to deal with the debt on both sides. really becomes the number one national security issue over the next decade or so. to me there is a barrier where the more popular from a pulling standpoint whether it is a border wall issue or a green new deal takes the spotlight in 2020, the you think it is reasonable to introduce a bill for term limits for congress soaking get a new people in there who are willing to deal with the pressing issues, rather than those who want to skirt tough problems and the solutions are not palatable to either base? term limits, if you go back to the federalist papers -- to limit somebody who is doing a good job would be a mistake. you as a voter has the ability to term limit anybody. the people in the re

returning from vietnam from his meeting at kim i guess it took two meetings for him to realize that kim jong-un is not on the level. jong-un big winner, kim is getting to sit face-to-face with the most powerful person in the world of the president of the united states and really, it is good for the president did not give him anything for the little he was proposing. as you know, he said he would shut down, or said he was going to, but it has been a subject for a long time. he would shut that down. one is denuclearization. they did not agree to it in the first meeting, they did not agree in the second meeting, and as you know they wanted lifting sanctions without the denuclearization. i'm glad the president walked away. diplomacy is important and we always supported, but the dimpect for success seem to in light of the insincerity of kim jong-un. i've been, as many of you know, to north korea, to pyongyang. very serious concerns about north korea, always hopeful that diplomacy can take us to a place , ever suspicious of the motivations of a person like kim jong-un. i'm glad it did not wor

kim left on board a private train, several hours ago. north korea is portraying the summit as a success that deepened the respect and trust between the two leaders. but could there be more to the story? let's get the latest here, live from will ripley in vietnam. he has been covering the summit for the past few days. before we get to the summit, yourself, i want to get your thoughts to the president's response to otto warmbier's death, essentially letting kim jong-un off the hook. given your only in of how that country works, is it possible that kim did not realize what was happening here? >> reporter: it's not possible, george. nothing happens in north korea at that level. an american student being held in the country without kim jong-un's knowledge. now, did he know about what happened immediately afterwards in terms of what caused otto to have the oxygen flow off his state. once it was cleared, it would have to have been flagged up to the very top to make a decision about how to proceed? the fact that north korea kept otto hooked up t

kim jong—nam, the strange half of the north korean leader, kim jong—un, often travelled around south east asia. he didn't live in north korea any more. but he suddenly died two years ago, and it turned out he had been killed in this extraordinary way. it was very shocking, in an international airport, clearly using a deadly nerve agent was very risky for passengers. and for a while, malaysia pretty much broke off relations with north korea, or downgraded them, and it shows just how far north korea is willing to go to get to people who they believe are hostile to the regime. having said that, all the governments in the region now seem to be trying to manage their relations with north korea. we saw kim jong—un in vietnam's just at the beginning of this month, being treated as a visiting head of state, with no mention apparently being made of the fact that a vietnamese woman is on trial here for something he is believed to have ordered. western—backed fighters beseiging the last patch of territory in syria occupied by islamic state, say they have now reached the middle of a camp onc

president donald trump described the sudden end to his summit with north korea's leader kim jong un the pair rived in vietnam with hopes of building on last year's historic summit in singapore but less than two days later they signed no agreement and it's unclear when they'll talk again north korea's neighbors south korea and china both said they were disappointed with the outcome we'll bring in our panel in just a moment but first when hey reports from hanoi. before the summit us president donald trump tried to lower expectations of a deal with north korean leader kim jong il but the expectation was at the very least that the pair would sign some form of agreement on denuclearization or make a joint statement instead the talks were cut short before lunch the table will sit for the diners didn't show leaving donald trump to explain why racially they wanted the sanctions lifted in their entirety and we couldn't do. they were willing to do new portion of the areas that we wanted but we couldn't give up all of the sanctions for the the american said kim jong un was willing to dismantle his

kim brook was only eight years old when his family moved to germany in 19117. his father, captain walter brook, was charged with rebuilding the shattered city after the second world war. starring jason clarke and keira knightley, the aftermath is a film loosely based on kim's memories. my dad used to talk about it a bit. he used to say, a number of times, you know, it's not about revenge, or anything like that, or retribution, myjob is to rebuild. this house is requisitioned for british use by order of the control commission. and despite advice to the contrary, kim struck a close friendship with his seven—year—old german housemate, heike. earning himself the nickname ‘der eisbrecher‘ — the icebreaker. and it was the children that broke down the barriers between the two families. it was a very, very important turning point which happens the following christmas. we decided that all the children, all six of us, would get together and pretend we were a choir. and we saying silent night, and we all did it in german so it was ‘stille nacht‘. and it was

he said that chairman kim says he was not aware of what he believes chairman kim said he was not aware of what happened to otto warmbier when it happened. i know how twitter somehow has become an an signment editor for reporters. if twitter blows up and said north korea is not responsible they're not paying attention. >> sandra: was the president -- >> we don't discussion security clearances. i won't discuss my own. i will tell you the president has the absolute right to do what was described. we aren't going to discuss that. i will tell you as these stories are breaking jared kushner was over in the middle east working on behalf of this country. >> sandra: she said the president was not involved. so she spoke about it then and i'm wondering what the white house is saying now. >> sarah sanders said last night something i'll repeat. we don't as a white house generally comment on security clearances. if ivanka trump chose to comment she has knowledge some of us don't have and she has the right to do that. >> jon: thank you very much. >> sandra: kellyanne, thank you for trying to fight th

do you believe that kim jong un knew? >> kim jong un had to know, eric. first of all, the detention of any foreigner in north korea is a matter of great importance. it gives the regime bargaining power because these people are seen as chips in grand geopolitical strategy. so clearly kim jong un and his father knew about this and i think that what we're looking at essentially is the president was wrong when he said that kim -- he accepted kim's denial of knowledge. eric: what should the president do? >> i think the president should do what he did today and that is to acknowledge the love and support for the warmbier family. also, the president was much more measured in his comments about kim jong un as a person and i think that's a good thing. but also, i believe the presidented should raise human rights much greater -- to a much higher level than he has up to now. and the reason is we sort of think if we raise human rights, that undercuts our ability to get a nuke deal. i think it's actually the other way around. eric: gordon chang. thank you. we must rem

but kim. >> kim? i think kim had all authority to do that. i think kim knew what happened which was wrong. that's why when we passed sanctions, we named it after otto warmbier and that's why the president kept those in place. the sanctions did not lift on north korea are named after otto, and he clarified that. >> he said north korea, and not kim. >> i think kim knew. >> talking about the national emergency a little bit. you held a line in the house. only 13 republicans voted against the president, but it looks like it will be a little bit dicier in the senate, and here's what lamar alexander has said about the president's declaration. >> there has never been an instance where a president of the united states has asked for funding. congress has refused it and the president has then used the national emergency act to justify spending the money anyway. >> aren't you concerned this could come back and bite republicans if a democrat gets to the white house again? >> look. the president has the authority to do this. in 1976, we actually kind of sh

i doubt that would offend kim jong un. walking past a 7 foot tall portrait of himself in the airport. perhaps it was this. >> i'm providing the committee with several documents. copies of letters i wrote at mr. trumps direction. that threatened his high school, colleges, and the college board. not to release his grades or sat scores. >> again, not sure that the murderous dictator would care about what the president got in the verbal section of the sat and the early 1960s. so maybe the president point was if you can at all avoid it i would recommend not trying to follow the president's tweet logic especially if you are prone to migraine. simply having the hearing was a bad look while he's over seas and that contributed to the break down of the, it was about the sanctions. he went full reo speed wagon and said it was time to fly. >> it was a very interesting two days. i think actually it was a productive two days. sometimes you have to walk. and this was one of those times. >> the gambler. that was after the summit. no menti

jim sciutto is on his way back from the kim jong-un summit. president trump is facing new reports that he directly intervened to get jared kushner top security clearance that he had long been denied. a month ago he said i was never involved in the talks. this morning the times and the post are both reporting that the president ordered his then chief of staff to overrule the objections of career white house security and kelly wrote about all of it in the memo to get his version on the record. house democrats already have a probe of white house clearances underway and now they are threatening to subpoena documents if they have to. if you thought that you heard the end of it by now from michael cohen, you would be wrong. he is due back on capitol hill next week for more closed door testimony. let's bring in sarah west wood at the white house. >> reporter: whether senior officials lied about that process. recall that prior to last may kushner had a temporary security clearance because of some concerns about his business ties among other things. cu
