iran doesn't have north korea weapon, north korea does. this is the reality that people of hawaii faced for quite some time. this is not far off potential possibility in the future. this is a very real thing. there's no time to waste. previous administrations both democrat and republican have failed to take this rising threat seriously bringing us to the position that we are in today and these administrations said time and again, well, we won't talk to north korea because, you know, we won't talk to them until they get rid of nuclear weapons, they have all the precondition thats that aret realistic and it's continuing with this administration today, president trump is not taking the threat seriously as the people of hawaii have just gone through, the reality of what this really is. he needs to engage directly, talk directly with north korea so that we can remove this nuclear threat, so that we can achieve and make it so that my family and families in hawaii and families across the country are not going to have to go through what the people

we were going to talk about north korea. but let's face it, everybody in the world is talking about the steve bannon quote to the book. jessica, in fairness, the white house is trying to distance itself from steve bannon and down play his role in the white house. i get kristin's point. the media could be talking about more important things. but right now, this is at the top of what we want to hear about agenda. >> and there were questions about kim jong-un and whether it made sense for the president to be treating about his large nuclear button. so the questions were there. this is the news of the day. frankly, that's the president's fault. that's not the press's fault. he's in control here. he can tweet about the spending bill. he can tweet about the dreamers. he can tweet about a government shut down. he can tweet again about his amazing victory with the tax reform. he only took a couple days off to revel in that accomplishment. hits a huge bill and he squandered that opportunity with this kind of behavior. i don't feel ba

of north korea. kim jong un even threatening not to go to the olympics after also what they called rash remarks. the remarks? they want the nukes removed from north korea. one more word from north korea, "provocative," what the regime is calling some movement of some element of the u.s. military. the b-2 stealth bombers which are nuclear ready, the deployment of three of those to the guam airbase as well as the movement of an aircraft carrier and an amphibious vessel. it's really not completed until we get everything locked in. it is expected if north korea goes through with their participation in the games. >> eric: that will be something if it leads to any of their other type of breakthrough. >> sandra: >> sandra: presidents firing back at "the wall street journal" saying he was misquoted in an article about his relationship with north korean dictator kim jong un. the paper quoted the president saying "i" probably have a very good relationship with kim jong un of north korea. i've had relationships

ambassador nikki haley putting north korea on notice. the country conducting its latest icbm in november. it has the potential to hit the united states. now the regimes leader touting a nuclear button on his desk and president trump is firing back and he tweeted this last night. will someone from his depleted and food starved regime inform him i have a nuclear button but it is a bigger and more powerful one than his and my button works. jack keane is a military analyst and chairman of the institute for the study of war. how does it look for the world of the free world to put out a tweet like that one about starting a nuclear war? >> i don't think he is saying that. i think it's a tongue in cheek comment thrust at kim jong-un certainly to remind him that unless he capitulates and denuclear eyess we're on the path to exercising a military option. that's what it is. frankly what president trump fundamentally turned around when he became president was a clear departure from three predecessors he is put a military option on the table. and he

it is kind of dampened a little bit with north and south korea agreed to talk and north korea actually sending people to the olympics and so they are hoping that it might calm things but the truth is that people really are scared. this is very real fear and hopefully people of hawaii will not ignore and alarm at this in the future because it really is a very real situation. >> i do not think it will be a crying wolf situation. because to your point earlier today on our program here, the congresswoman spoke to us and she was very clear that she was angry about this false alarm. certainly, happy that for her family and she includes all of the 1.3 million constituents is being family members, but she was angry about the fact that we just talked about. the trading of rhetoric between the president of the united states and kim jong-un. albeit, south korea has talked about the tough rhetoric they have believed that has helped kim jong-un come to the table as well as sanctions. of course we know that the secretary of state has said sanctions seems to be working as well. but to the point of th

take a look at iran and north korea today. he was able to see back then that they needed to be confronted head-on. as for the media, well, they can't stand the kind of tough and direct acknowledgment that america does have enemies, that there is evil in our times. apparently, they would rather they are presidents bending down and kissing their rings and bowing and kissing the feet of murdering dictators. let's go back to the early 1990s. bill clinton sucked up, groveling for kim jong un's father, kim jong il, and giving north korea billions in energy subsidies, allowing north korea to keep their nuclear fuel rods and then goes on tv and tells you, "it's a great deal for the american people." what a lie that was. take a look. >> this is a good deal for the united states. north korea will freeze and then dismantle its nuclear program. south korea and i were other allies will be better protected. the entire world will be safer as we slow the spread of nuclear weapons. south korea, with support from japan and other nations, will b

north korea is moving forward. and doing missile tests and rebecca watching for pay load and sophisticated equipment and technology and what we need to do to be ready for that. >> the president went after china on the campaign trail and backed off on the academieses he took against china. and he needs to get more. and he tweeted, and criticized china and they are key player and he has to lean on them to get them to act. >> harris: bob, before you go, i know the hill is working on a lot. what are you working on with regard to north korea that we need to watch for. >> i think if the talks between north and south korea pan out. with the olympics back drop there could be progress. despite the rhetoric going back and forth. >> harris: bob, happy new year. great to see you. >> happy new year. >> harris: orin hatch is retiring after four decades in office. and that leaves a door open for mitt romney, one of the president's most vocal critics. what does that look like for the voers in utah. he couldn't get to the white hou

nikki haley slamming the idea of peace talks between north and south korea if north korea first doesn't give up its nuclear program. >> we won't take any of the talks seriously if they don't do something to ban all nuclear weapons in north korea. we consider this to be a very reckless regime. we don't think we need a band aid and we don't need to smile and take a picture. we have to have them stop nuclear weapons and they need to stop it now. north korea can talk with any one they want, but the u.s. won't acknowledge it until they agree to ban the nuclear weapons that they have. >> haley's comments come after south korean officials offered to meet with the north koreans about the winter olympics. kim jong-un called for peace during his new year's speech and said talks with south korea should begin as soon as possible. the white house saying today their goal of a de-nuclearized korean peninsula has not changed. jennifer griffin life at the pentagon. jennifer, how significant are these offers to talk? >> jon, if the talks take place, it will be the first time north and south korea have ta

north korea in 2018. is he dialing that back? >> no. i think the administration is absolutely prepared to talk to north korea. however, they're very clear eyed they know full well that north korea in the past has always used negotiations or talks to advance their technology. secondly, they know they are using these talks likely to promote some goodwill for themselves because they are going to the olympics together with south korea and they also want to drive a wedge between ourselves and our allies particularly the southians. they have a healthy dose of skepticism where the talks will go. if north korea is willing to begin to talk about denuclearize. >> julie: if you look at the summit there are 20 different countries hosted between canadien and the united states. in canada one problem is missing and that's china. they aren't participating in this. the 20 countries are coming together to put on tougher sanctions. it is not just sanctions that need to happen. it is diplomatic pressure. can it be done witho

if you leave north korea with this capability it's not what north korea might do, is to who they would sell their capabilities. to iran, terrorist groups, other rogue states. that's why i think the president is absolutely right. denuclearization is the answer. if you leave them with nuclear capability, we are at risk, our other allies in the region are at risk. nobody wants to have to look at military force but the notion that we simply have to accept north korea, and by the way while we are on the subject, iran with nuclear weapons, i do not agree with. >> harris: senator graham was specifically talking about a ran when he said this but i wrote it down. "the president needs to talk about around and take the case to the people. just say really quickly, that he needs to do the same thing with north korea or now? >> absolutely. i think the american people need -- i think he says the threat we face is this bizarre, erratic regime with the capability to kill hundreds of thousands or millions of innocent americans. we are not going to live under that kind of threat. and that's why we have t

and north korea's leader claims he is a nuclear button while also offering an olive branch? is american pressure paying off or not? we'll have full coverage from congressman chris stewart of the house intelligence committee. meanwhile, from "the new york times," clinton backers reportedly put up hundreds of thousand dollars before elective day in collections of efforts to drum up allegations of sexual harassment against then candidate donald trump. will debate the ramifications of the bombshell report and... >> i think it may very well violate the due process and equal protection's law. >> shannon: state governors call the g.o.p. tax governors overhaul illegal. witness convenes, is it unconstitutional? ♪ >> shannon: hello and welcome to "fox news @ night." i'm shannon bream in washington. new tonight on those deadly protests shaking iran, which is also captured the attention of donald trump as he returns to washington tonight. in a fox news exclusive, a leaked memo from inside iran, translated to english, appears to show panic at the highest level of the iranian government

and north korea? >> well, beijing is very much in favor of any type of dialogue and so in the last couple of days we have seen global times and other chinese media outlets speak very favorably about these talks that will occur on tuesday between the two koreas. heather: i want to ask you this and i'm kind of throwing this at you because we weren't prepare toddies cousin it, you and i have discussed the north korean soldiers that have been defecting, have you seen the latest north korean soldiers that had antibodies of anthrax in his body, what are your thoughts on that? >> obviously the north korean military thinks that their soldiers are going to be fighting in an environment where there is anthrax and that's indication that they plan to use it because we don't plan to use it and the other thing is that american soldiers who were assigned in peninsula, 28500 of them have been vaccinated for anthrax, so there's a real serious deficiency and south koreans need to be prepared to fight in an environment

they allowed north korea to pro mull gait nuclear weapons. even trump's critics say it's time for a different approach in clear *. for 30 years what they have done in washington hasn't worked. if you launch a missile at guam or a u.s. territory we'll respond in kinds. this is not barack obama who will draw a line in the sand. this is as man who speaks the truth tanning north korea has to understand there are consequences, and the united nations has to act in a capacity that says the world is watching you and that wait president has been doing and that's the pressure he put on north korea. jesse: i want to show the level of panic on the left. here is some guy at cnn. he was so alarmed that the president was tweet being if the nuclear button he actually contacted twitter. let's take a listen. >> if i asked twitter spokesmen, does this violate twitter's terms of service. they are trying to decide whether this kinds much tweet referring to a nuclear butthon on is a violation of twitter's terms because it may bring violence. >> they need go back t

south korea intercepting a north korea freighter. that told north korea, it's a new game, we better get used to it. david:on, let me give folks an example of tough talk. a tweet from president trump, north korean leader kim jong-un just stated that the nuclear button is on his desk at all times. would someone from his regime inform him i have a nuclear button, but it's much bigger. that sounds like you talking. >> and some said that that's him akin to talking nuclear war is ridiculous. if that were to be, we would see the cascading. we did this with fidel castro needlessly. let's not legitimize that which is not. david: can we afford just to ignore him? >> no, there's now satellite imagery they're getting ready to do another test, a nuclear bomb test. that's according to news reports breaking now. you know, with north korea, their soldiers are so indoctrinated, they defend their nation with religious zeal. i'm not sure the president should have tweeted that out. i thought it was impulsive. north korea is a threat with what they're de

that would allow north korea to keep its nuclear arsenal, that it will not allow the north korean regime or government to collapse, that will apply sanctions symbolically so the world sees they are doing something but it will also increase aid and military support for north korea, including new missiles. if this turns out to be true, are you surprised? to go that's pretty much been the pattern of behavior for years. i mean, they clearly supported north korea having a nuclear capability and 2005. their long range ballistic missiles looked remarkably like the chinese and particularly portable devices that they move around. they were able to somehow very rapidly move from old soviet style rockets and missiles where they were missing about 50% of the time to a procedure now where they are testing intercontinental ballistic missiles with more clarity and more productive capability than they've ever had. something has changed among the engineers and scientists, and we have long suspected either they hired russians to do this for them or the chinese have always consistently been helping them. >

korea and the united states, south korea, pulmonary talks with north korea after kim jung un said he wanted to reopen talks to cooperate in the winter olympics. the us state department believes kim jung un's attempt to talk to the south is an attempt to disrupt the south alliance with the us, the move after kim made a provocative announcement on new year's day that a nuclear button is always on his desk. donald trump responded in kind with a tough tweet, here it is, north korean leader kim jung un just stated the nuclear button is on his desk at all times. will someone from his depleted and food starved regime please inform him that i too have a nuclear button but it is a much bigger and more powerful ones and his and my button works. nikki haley, us ambassador to the united nations said north korea must been nuclear weapons in order to have any serious talks with the us and its allies. >> we consider this a reckless regime. we don't think we need a band-aid and we don't need to take a picture. we need to have them stop nuclear weapons and they need to stop it now. north korea can ta

north korea is stable but it could be unstable. there are a lot of disturbing signs out of pyongyang. our military doesn't talk to his military. that's a problem for us. we need to discuss this with the north koreans. i hope the south koreans instill that sense of deterrence. i think we have to impose a lot of costs on china before they come to the table. >> gordon chang, thank you very much, always a pleasure to talk to you and get your take on these. thank you very much, eric. eric: thank you. imagine looking at your cell phone it tells you there's a ballistic missile heading your way. we have new reaction coming up from the trump administration about this. and the white house called it a state exercise, raising the question this afternoon, should the feds, meaning the u.s. military take over that state responsibility to warn us? a live report ahead. at ally, we created a savings account with a great rate. but if that's not enough, our app helps monitor your spending too. and if that's not enough to help you save, we could start

to isolate north korea. then you want all of this, molly, much of it has been the u.n. security council, which has been repeatedly sanctioned north korea, although the united states have pushed for stronger against north korea, it has largely been block. >> molly: it is fascinating to hear kim jong un talk about a button on his desk that could potentially launch nuclear weapons, but say, warm up relations and talk more diplomacy. meanwhile, he's also said, sending a delegation to the winter olympics. is that an olive branch to a broader audience, to the world audience? this could be an analyst dominic indication that sanctions are beginning to stink. especially when you consider what north korea is looking for here. it side of this is that it has eased nuclear weapons and missile technology to preserve its regime. the united states have made claims that this administration that the u.s. is not seeking regime change there. this is not something that the united states is looking to overthrow the kim jong un re

korea and how we deal north korea. also different approach and how we deal with iran come up with the nuclear agreement, and in terms of the protests that we have seen wrapped across iran over the past weekend. what do you see happening moving forward into the new year in terms of our relationship with iran? >> i think it will be a troubled relationship. keep in mind, the iranian regime has gone through some major challenges with the protests over 400 people arrested. as many as 12 people dead at the reports if they're accurate, and they want a better future for themselves. if you think about it, iran has something like the fourth largest oil reserves in the world, the streets should be paved with gold. instead, iran had these different words of choice, syria, yemen, cause trouble and iraq, and all that money could be back into their economy and feeding their people. that is not happening, and we are seeing the results. >> heather: we have talked about this earlier. when you hear responses from the former administratio

"military quietly prepared for a last resort, war with north korea." trace gallagher live in the west coast newsroom with the back story tonight. hi, trace. >> hi, martha. defense secretary james mattis is on the record arguing for diplomacy to deal with the north korean threat but also he's getting ready for possible north korean action. last month, an exercise called operation panther blade where dozens of helicopters and ships moved troops and equipment to various assault targets while they were under live artillery fire. at nulles air force base, they're simulating a foreign invasion. and thousands of army posts will practice setting up mobilization centers overseas. the army is said to be prepared to meet that threat. while u.s. military preparations are ramping up, u.s. anxiety is way up and nothing el straits that better than this weekend's false alarm in hawaii where a state worker mistakingly sent out a warning of incoming ballistic missiles that caused 38 minutes of panic across the islands. listen to a pastor on hawaii followed by a mother o

north korea has brought the south in for these discussions and it has been reciprocated by south korea. south korea has agreed to suspend joint military exercises with the united states. that is seen as two very large concessions by south korea and even the united states here and north korea has given up absolutely nothing. so analysts are saying the recent discussions between the two countries is a way for north korea to try to drive a wedge between the united states and south korea. those countries are supposed to continue meeting on wednesday to continue their discussions about the olympics. there's concerns by some analysts that south korea may want to discuss matters beyond issues with the olympics. as for the united states meeting with north korea, the administration has said and the state department has said only when north korea makes a signal or a move to begin to have a willingness to surrender their nuclear weapons program, ballistic missile programs, will the easy meet with north korea. trace, back to you. >> trace: rich edson live in vancouver. rich, thank you. it's a busy

for from north korea. there was some time between when messages sent to when they were told it was a false one for the impact only takes 20 minutes from north korea to hawaii. this is a process in which is supposed to happen. if there were ever to be a wife, the us commander in hawaii send a message this date warning point.the hawaii emergency preparedness. they in the first five minutes are then there are notifications sent in between five and 10 minutes, the sirens go off and emergency alert system goes off on the television and radio. and on the phone. within 10 to 20 minutes of that launch, that is when folks are supposed to take action. it's important to realize just how little time people have in the event of something like this. for 38 minutes that have gone by, given the fact that there is only really 10 to 15 minutes for people to actually respond to a ballistic missile, it is scary to say the least. i think it is also important to reiterate and underscore the point that we heard from representati

and north korea. not just a president trump tweet but the kim jong-un rhetoric again on new year's day saying he will spend 2018 building up his nuclear arsenal so he can be ready to hit the united states. good news and bad news. back to you. >> sandra: a lot of back and forth. thank you. >> bill: a lot to catch up on, too. president trump calling out a lot of foreign nations by way of twitter over the last 24 hours threatening to cut off aid to the palestinian authorities. we pay the palestinians hundreds of millions a year and get no respect and don't want to negotiate a peace treaty with israel. we've taken jerusalem off the table. israel would have had to pay more. with the palestinians no longer willing to talk peace why should we make any of these massive future payments to them? senior counsel to president trump kellyanne conway and happy new year. thank you for coming back here. a lot to go over. let me get back to the palestinian issue in a moment and come back to north korea. the olympics st

and perhaps a naval blockade to ensure that north korea is further isolated per the u.n. sanctions. rex tillerson is on his way from washington d.c. he's arriving this evening in vancouver, canada. ahead of the meetings, he will have discussions this evening with the canadian foreign minister and his counter parts from japan and south korea. the state department says the united states and canada invited countries that joined the u.s. effort in the korean war more than 60 years ago. that means china and russia were not invited and will not be here. china accounts for 90% of north korean trade. the state department says it has coordinated with those governments ahead of the meeting

north korea agreeing to hold talks with south korea next week. while this seems like a nice gesture on the face of it, some worry this is part of kim jong-un's plan to use the game to blackmail his rivals. and gary, guess, work no? >> there's 28, 500 reasons he's doing it. and we have 28,500 soldiers. and if he wants to keep breathing he needs to act correctly. i don't trust him as far as i can throw him. i think he's trying to put a fissure in between the u.s. and south korea. i don't think it will work. liz: it won't be the first time. russia used the sochi to annex the entire region of ukraine. >> you make a good point. a lot of people have forgotten in 1987, north korea, bombed a korean air flight killing everybody on board as a way of disrupting the olympics in south korea. there's reason to be concerned. i think we should open the door, but you have to be super careful with this, in my view. liz: rachel. >> i think the president deserves credit for the small gesture of peace on the part of north korea to south korea. believe me if they were

they showed as part of north korea we don't see, he said. we don't see any part of north korea. we only see what they lets us see. it's very common among communist leaders. they do this with hollywood celebrities. they would invite -- they would go to cuba, ussr, venezuela. they would turn hapless naive suckers like sean penn into traveling mouthpieces. they would treat you well. they'll get you food, women, all sorts of stuff. but there's interesting things that can happen. they could be taken hostage. what do we do then? the u.s. probably cannot exercise a military option knowing those people are there. or they could infect them with some kind of biological agent and send them back to the united states which is possible. >> kimberly: do you lay awake at night thinking about this? >> greg: all the time. >> jesse: all right, well, "the five" will not be going to north korea. >> kimberly: we just asked to go to the super bowl. >> jesse: we were told no. >> kimberly: last time, they were like -- it was good. lester holt has an opportunity to go there. i get it as a journalist. i d

north korea will be a part of the conversation. they said nuclear weapons are the highest since the cold war. nikki haley will likely discuss the situations in iran, syria and north korea and threats they pose. the u.n. security general will address the council shortly and is expected to also discuss north korea, iran and syria, two other major areas where the risk of weapons of mass destruction are growing. the syrian regime accused of using chemical attacks on their own people. monday was the second anniversary was the iran nuclear deal. there is continuation that iran is testing ballistic missiles. we'll continue to monitor what's happening. >> bill: what is the expected end result of all that, laura? >> we're being told there won't be a vote but there could be some sort of joint statement later today. now we do expect to hear more positive statements about the upcoming olympics in south korea and how that has opened dialogue on the peninsula. the u.n. security council will hope to build on that progress but still there is alway

north korea's program. heather: i wanted to ask you finally, gordon, how does that impact what we are trying to do, president trump and the united states is trying to do in north korea? >> president trump's main policy to cut off money flows to north korea. south korea is paying cost of hundreds of koreans attending olympics. 230 cheerleaders, tae kan doe. heather: gordon change live for us. we appreciate your insight as always. >> thank you, heather. heather: thousands of women and celebrities march across america for women's rights and against president trump, the president on twitter touting his accomplishments for women, but is he right, army vet kathy barnett. and high-stake vote set for noon today as government shutdown enters day three, who is the blame and which side will give in, our political panel to debate it up next. when i received the diagnosis, i knew at that exact moment, whatever it takes, wherever i have to go...i'm beating this. my main focus was to find a team of doctors that work toget

but north korea is not going to voluntarily give you have that capability. i think what this mistake in hawaii really shows is we have gotten complacent over several decades about the threat of nuclear weapons. if you are a baby boomer you remember doing duck and cover at school. but there is a millennial generation that has been alive since there was an atmospheric nuclear test. i think this is a serious matter to be sure in hawaii. but the lesson it teaches us is not to go see if kim jong-un is having a good day to prepare a better missile defense and again living in a world with irresponsible lead verse their finger on the nuclear button. my understanding is that the market for home air raid shelters has been increasing recently of the luxury variety. but the fact is as a matter of basic history. if north korea does get deliverable nuclear weapons and is on the verge of them and iran is behind them. i think it is a historical turning point, it means half a century or more of american proliferation policy will have failed. there is every reason to believe

a starving boy in north korea. one day he tried to steal call from a railroad car for a few scraps of food. in the process he passed out on the train tracks, exhausted from hunger. he woke up as a train ran over his limbs. he was tortured by north korean authorities, some travel thousands of miles on crutches all across china and southeast asia to freedom. i understand you keep those reminder how far you have come. your great sacrifice is an inspiration to us all. patty: 1 of many remarkable moment last night with guests in the state of the union. that wraps it up for the 4:00 am hour on "fox and friends" first but it continues now, see you tomorrow. >> the state of the union is strong because our people are strong. we are building a strong, safe and proud america. we created 2.4 million new jobs, african-american unemployment stand at the lowest rate ever. the stock market has smashed one record after another. we enacted the biggest tax cuts and reforms in american history. we have ended the war on beautiful clean

sanctions against north korea for its missile and nuclear programs. this is also aimed at isolating the country. china, as we all know, the most important trading partner with north korea. the strongest ally. again, violations of the sanctions by china has riled the united states and the international community. let's see. >> shepard: with china you have to watch what they do while listening to what they said. let's go to gordon chang, author of "nuclear show down." will they do it is the question. >> only if the trump administration forces them to comply with u.n. sanctions, this is really been the story of china. when sanctions are put in place by the u.n., the chinese make a big show of complying. they'll issue these pronouncements and actually do something for a couple months. when the united states isn't paying attention, they do back to doing the old way of doing things, which is supporting north korea. this will be the same thing unless the administration makes it clear to the chinese they can't get away with it. on december 28, you had that tw

i'm confident south korea will reject it and if north korea goes to the winter olympics we do not. the u.s. and allies boycotted the 1980 games in moscow after the soviet union invaded afghanistan. they returned it at the los angeles games in 1984. people say it's an attempt for north korea to drive a wedge between the united states and south korea. now that north korea has gotten access to the olympics, it has now gotten these high-profile discussions and the u.s. and south korea have suspended joint military operations during the olympics and north korea has given up nothing, bill. >> bill: on iran the president and senior officials are talking about the nuclear deal. a certification deadline that hits this friday. what's the latest there? >> major deadlines on iran over the next 10 days or so. first off to keep the united states in the iran nuclear deal. despite the president's hatred for this agreement, the u.s. is still in this deal. the president has to waive certain sanctions to keep the united states in the deal. those waiver deadlines are upcoming over the next 10 days. on

i think that's happening with respect to north korea. these regimes around the world that have nuclear capabilities and have the wherewithall to use them that would be harmful to the world have to be dealt with. it's going to take a concerted effort. i think we made in roads. i think the president and his team have been very good in the way they have gone about handling what our crisis situations in the world and protecting american strength and letting the dictators know we won't set buy and allow them to acquire the most dangerous weapons. >> a 51-49 split in the u.s. with a democrat now representing alabama. how worried are you about this year's mid-term elections? >> you have to go into an election year when you have the majority and it's a mid-term election, that the party that is in power typically loses seats. given that, i think the best way for us to overcome what might be some of those historical trends is for us to put up a record of accomplishments. passing tax reform that brings tax relief to hard working americans and middl

back to north korea now. let's go to michael crowley from politco. a lot of talk on north korea and now this conversation. what are we to make of this? >> well, it's interesting. there's different ways to interpret it. the president interprets it as a sign that his policy of getting very tough on north korea, being threatening, blustering some people say, is creating a willingness in the north to start negotiations, even if not with the u.s. but its neighbor to the south. another school of thought is that trump has actually alarmed the south koreans who after all would be seeing a war on their door step of the united states were to come to blows with north korea. they're desperate to avoid that. and one school of thought is that the north is taking advantage of what they see as a potential rift between south korea and the u.s. because the south koreans think that trump is getting a little potentially an itchy trigger finger. they're looking for some way to calm the tensions. we have to wait to see how this plays out, to see which side is right. it's
