as a result even as a record number of Republicans are resigning from the house

our top story tonight President Trump turning up the heat on China putting

pressure on Beijing to address the massive trade imbalance that it is

enjoyed with the United States for decades this coming within weeks of well

the position of tariffs if the Chinese don't act and the administration today

said that by June 15th it will finalize tariffs on fifty billion dollars of

imports from China the penalties on early 1300 product categories from

medical equipment to machinery could go as high as twenty five percent and by

the end of next month the United States would also impose historic restrictions

on Chinese investment in this country to combat rampant intellectual property

theft that cost the United States as much as sick

hundred billion dollars a year all of this unless the United States and China

can reach a trade deal within two and a half weeks

our first guest tonight continues to fight against China's unfair trade

practices as well as the global is working to subvert the president's

America for his trade policies joining us tonight is Peter Navarro top trade

adviser to the president director of the White House national trade council Peter

good to have you with us who is my friend how are you today well I'm great

and I know you're doing well the imposition of three oh ones I mean this

administration has already done more with the three oh ones and the previous

administration contemplated throughout its two terms in office it's yeah it'll

make me clear about a couple of things here Lou first of all will insist upon

it Peter will insist upon it this president is tough in their

toughest nails on trade and national security in this 301 investigation by

ambassador Robert light hyzer really combines those two things well here's

what we know from his investigation ordered by the president China not only

steals our intellectual property through economic espionage and cyber theft it

also forces the transfer of that technology from American companies on

Chinese soil trying to get access to the market it acquires our companies here in

Silicon Valley and elsewhere from by state-owned enterprises and they also

evade our export control laws they've been silent promises Peter we've been

following them I made in my mind and here's the it is being it is being

adjudicated before the World Trade Organization we're following the cases

and we understand that this audience here is the the reports on that on how

that is progressing and let's understand why these tariffs No let's understand

this I'm going to answer the questions here Peter i will seek answers from

before because i feel somehow irrelevant if you ask both the questions and

provide answers it seemingly III want to Iran Lou go ahead let's start with fifty

billion dollars all right you're talking about a trade relationship that is over

600 billion in the trade relationship between the

two countries these are peanuts and let's be very clear about that this is

peanuts so what will be the impact of these 301 KS if we get to June 15th and

there's no deal so the purpose of the 301 investigation basically is to stop

China from stealing the crown jewels of our technology and the perfect president

a city long for the purpose of the tariffs they're targeted at the

so-called China 2025 industries the artificial intelligence robotics

blockchain technology things like that and the purpose of the tariffs is to

defend our industries here in America that engage in research development

production of those entities as you know Lu China has a predatory model basically

where they come in and they attack our industry solar steel they try to steal

them from us so the purpose of the tariffs they're very targeted and it's

very important the purchasing investment restrictions are to prevent China from

then buying those companies which we nurture here so this 301 investigation

like a laser beam focuses solely on technology it is not a bargaining chip

let me make this clear Lu would it whatever deal what might be made this is

not a bargaining chip these tariffs will be put in place to protect and defend

our technologies as will the investment restrictions we have a whole nother

problem with the 500 billion dollars worth of trade exports the China sends

to us that's where the deal-making needs to be done but these are not trading

this is not bargaining chips Lou this will happen on June 15th for the tariffs

and June 30th for the investment restriction so let's be clear about that

the president is strong and tough and resolute on that he promised this during

the campaign Lou and there's a straight line between here the 301 investigation

which he ordered the results of that 301 investigation the decision he made today

to impose those tariffs and investment restrictions mm-hmm and the ZTE

accommodation to President Xi Alou I want to be clear two things about this

one you want you to be clear we're going to have a wonderful evening

because you're being so clear you remind us each time yes yes

ZTE number one is a law enforcement issue not my lane number two national

security issue indeed indeed it is and Secretary of minuchin and Wilbur Ross

are the ones to talk about with on that issue it is a law enforcement issue and

that's not something I can talk about because of that okay well so you don't

you think that the sanctions should be handled as simply a national security

issue rather than a response and trade the president is obviously reacted as if

it were a trade issue because he's making a personal exemption for ZTE

despite seven years of violating US sanctions with North Korea and with Iran

I I fully understand that Laura but I'm under directions and I'm a good foot

soldier here it's a law enforcement issue its Wilbur Ross and Steve told you

it was a law enforcement officer oh it is I mean that the national security

well how do you start and how you start separating national security from

international trade particularly with the communist country that is right now

being very provocative when we carry out freedom of navigation missions are you

the u.s. Navy does in the South China Sea this is this is becoming a rather

brittle matter isn't it yeah well certainly the freedom of navigation

issue is front and center China is building these large islands artificial

islands that they stole and seized no countries to begin with yes and then the

US Navy is very worried about that the Philippines and all Vietnam they're all

very concerned about and this is what China's doing in the South China Sea so

when you make the distinction with law enforcement I find that curious because

as a man who is written about trade with China and who understands clearly the

national security implications I would think he would be somewhat more

vociferous about how important that I don't want to trade relationship I don't

mind you pressing on this Lou and if I weren't part of the administration

in under orders that this is a law enforcement issue I would be free to

express my views on this but as I say Lou this is a law enforcement issue it's

being dealt with by the Justice Department the Department of Commerce in

a district court and that's all I can say again Wilbur Ross and Steve minuchin

would be the ones that that are the commenters on this they're the ones that

have gone up to Capitol Hill to talk about this and so those would be the

guys they've also gone to Beijing and come back with a really quite an

interesting but checkered result we're sitting here talking about 301's

in the administration's decision to to impose a punishment even as it's being

adjudicated before the World Trade Organization which some would consider

to be a further ambiguity given that the this administration has not been

particularly supportive of the idea of turning over sovereignty to the WTO well

there's only there's only one issue that the 301 is involved in with the WTO and

it's a very interesting one what China does is part of their coercion and

aggression is they force companies American companies the license the worst

transfer of technology its licensing it's it's if say Qualcomm has a chip

that that a said I want to do you know what I understand that you want to run

up the time but I just want you down but you've already succeeded and when I

appreciate your efforts and record to talking with you that what you do buddy

I you take care of yourself Peter Navarro up next president Trump

says Robert Muller's 13 angry Democrats are plotting to subvert our midterm

elections we take that up with Judicial Watch is Chris Farrell right after this

stay with us we're coming right back

she calls it like she sees it from

'Don't toast marshmallows on Hawaii volcano' says US government

Kilauea in the US state of Hawaii is one of the worlds most active volcanoes and recently as captured the worlds attention.

The US Geological Survey has responded to a social media query on whether it is safe to roast marshmallows over a volcanic vent. The answer is no.

Kilauea in the US state of Hawaii is one of the worlds most active volcanoes and it has been very active in recent weeks.

With its red-hot rivers of lava have destroyed dozens of homes on Hawaiis Big Island, with 2,000 people being told to leave their properties.

Jay Furr from Richmond, Vermont asked the US government department whether it would be safe to roast marshmallows over volcanic vents using a long stick. https://ichef. bbci. uk/news/485/socialembed/https://twitter. com/jayfurr/status/1001280299710472192~/news/world-us-canada-44294418.

The US Geological Surveys Volcanoes Twitter account, which posts official updates and information on volcanoes in the US, responded to Mr Furrs query, saying that such an experiment would lead to a bad taste and a pretty spectacular reaction.

They said it would not be safe and advised people to not try to do so. Last week, people in Hawaii were warned about toxic fumes produced when molten rock flows into the ocean.

https://ichef. bbci. uk/news/485/socialembed/https://twitter. com/USGSVolcanoes/status/1001281586476867584~/news/world-us-canada-44294418. Kilauea is an extremely active volcano and its present eruption began 35 years ago,.

A growth of volcanic activity in recent weeks has meant that it has quite literally been erupting in peoples backyards. Only one serious injury has been reported, after a man was hit by projectile molten rock as he sat on his balcony.

North Korea, U.S. in multiple preparatory meetings for summit - Duration: 2:52.

Our starting point is once again Pyongyang and Washington's multi-pronged diplomatic

activities.

All possibly designed to assist with preparations for the summit between their leaders, originally

set to be held on June 12 in Singapore.

Moments ago, U.S. President Donald Trump tweeted North Korea's former intel chief Kim Yong-chol

... is heading to New York Lee Ji-won updates us on the rapid developments.

North Korea and the United States seem to be getting closer to finally announcing that

the first ever Pyongyang-Washington summit *will in fact be held.

The Vice Chairman of the North's Workers' Party, Kim Yong-chol , who is also in charge

of the regime's United Front Department, arrived in Beijing Tuesday morning to fly to the U.S.

According to South Korea's Yonhap News, citing sources in China, Kim's name is on the list

of people taking a flight to New York on Wednesday at 1 p.m.

Sources in China say Kim will meet with U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.

This would be the third time for the two diplomats to meet.

Also in Beijing with Kim was the official in charge of North American affairs at Pyongyang's

foreign ministry, Choe Kang-il.

The two initially booked a New York-bound flight leaving Tuesday afternoon but postponed

it to the next day.

The change in schedule was likely because of a meeting arranged between Kim and Chinese

officials at the airport on Tuesday.

The same sources say Kim and Pompeo are expected to put together the final pieces for the summit,...

and reaffirm the North's efforts to denuclearize and the States' effort to guarantee Pyongyang's

security.

Meanwhile late Monday, an eight-member delegation from the North is said to have landed in Singapore,

according sources there, to meet their U.S. counterparts.

The North Koreans are led by the Secretariat of the regime's State Affairs Commission,

Kim Chang-son, a top logistics and protocol official.

The U.S. team, consisting of some 30 officials from the White House and State Department,

led by Deputy White House Chief of Staff Joe Hagin, arrived in the Southeast Asian city-state

earlier that day.

Although the exact time of the meeting has not been disclosed, the two sides are expected

to meet as early as Tuesday, to discuss logistics, protocol and specific venues and itineraries

for Kim Jong-un and President Trump.

Representatives of the U.S. and North Korea are also to resume their meeting at the inter-Korean

border village of Panmunjom on Wednesday.

Those delegations are led respectively by former U.S. ambassador to South Korea and

former nuclear negotiator Sung Kim,... and North Korea's Choe Son-hui, who serves as

the regime's vice foreign minister and is a former director of her ministry's North

American department.

The talks began on Sunday but, according to diplomatic sources, they did not convene on

Monday and Tuesday.

The same sources say the two are expected to have worked on the summit's agenda and

other details.

Trish Regan: Top North Korean official on his way to US discuss TRUM-KIM SUMMIT - Duration: 13:09.

we've got it down it's off pretty significantly here 425 points as

investors react to a deepening political crisis in Europe this global sell-off

really being fueled by the prospect of fresh elections in Italy another

election that could turn into a referendum on the entire European Union

and there's a lot of talk about whether or not a European debt crisis is back

I'm Josh Reagan welcome everyone to the intelligence reports

I know as we watch this cell if you see the financial stocks are really leading

the market lower right now this political turmoil in Europe causing kind

of a panic shall we say on Wall Street will Italy actually leave the Euro we

have our all-star panel here to break it down also what is this tell you about

global ISM all around the world I mean it's actually quite similar what you're

seeing in some parts of Europe along with what you see right here in the

United States of America we're on it plus the top North Korean official is on

his way right now to the United States to discuss terms of

the on-again off-again summit is a continent is it not between President

Trump and Kim Jong GaN will this actually go forward we've got new

developments straight ahead lots as we said ABC is canceling

Roseanne following a very controversial Twitter rant from the star of the show

Roseanne Barr we've got some Intel for you but first let's get back to these

markets off 434 and one of their mobility issues falling it all live on

the floor the New York Stock Exchange and oh my goodness it kind of feels like

a deja vu we went through this a few years back Nepal and it all sort of

surfaced right around a similar time and what do you know all summer we talked

about the threat of the EU breaking up in the European debt crisis and now it's

back to haunt us again right that's exactly right and what we're seeing now

is the political turmoil and uncertainty and Colin somewhat of a crisis in Italy

and with that we're seeing markets selling off really there is concern

around the globe about what will happen here there they had an

anti-establishment party they were trying to put together was blocked by

the president by the Prime Minister and with that they were not able to do it

but the question is whether or not there will be votes going forward and as you

noted whether or not they will choose they're really against the the euro and

the eurozone all together so we'll see what comes of that in the meantime the

euro is dropping our stocks here at home you can see the Dow down 432 points it's

moved back into the negative for the year 2018 and we're seeing financials

selling off with that concerns about what's going on in Italy it's

across the board here's a look at our banks you noted that the financials are

among the biggest loggers and look at Goldman Sachs analyst 4% just like JP

Morgan down about four and a half percent

Wells Fargo three and a half percent Morgan Stanley five and a half percent

so the financials in particular getting hit hard as the ten-year bond yield

which recently hit highs has now turned to the other way and now a two point

eight one percent so concerns and also Moody's had already been looking at

Italy for a possible downgrade they have a lot of debt they have a very big

economy and so now we have to see what happens going forward but this reminds

us of brexit and it reminds us of so many years ago during the financial

crisis when we started talking about the pigs all the nations right Portugal

Italy Ireland Greece and Spain so this is now Italy front and center back to

you so much Nicole yeah kind of touch feel like deja vu to a certain extent

but you know no one should be surprised by any of this because you know what

this really is this is a revolt against globalist globalism the the system in

which too many people have lost out in I mean we saw that happen right here in

good old USA right I mean wasn't that in part what this election in 2016 was

about and then lo and behold you see that taking route in the UK and you see

that taking hold in places like Italy Italy which is struggling as a welfare

state with all the immigrants that are coming into Italy right now from African

nations and they're coming into this country and they're challenged to

support themselves and the Italians who are up against it themselves feel as

though they're taking on unnecessary burdens and then you also add on to that

the fact that when they switch to the euro a lot of them had a harder time

selling their goods I'll use Portugal as an example because the Portugal and

Spain as well we're very big in the textile industry and I can remember

being there during the height of the European debt crisis and talking to

Portuguese manufacturers textile manufacturers that had owned factories

it had had some of these factories and their families for many many years and

they said it's so hard to compete because we used to compete on our

currency and we actually had a shot against the likes of China well now we

don't have that shot anymore same thing is going on in Italy not as big as a

textile area although they do have silk in Como right up by Lake Como where I

was married actually but you know for a two trillion dollar economy that that

relies on the manufacturing of some high-end products the manufacturing of

wine and pasta and olive oil and they want to send all this abroad well it's

harder when your euro is worth that much more so maybe they're thinking to

themselves we're better off going back to the lira

I said from the beginning this was an innovative exciting experiment but I

didn't think it would work because you have too many countries the euro that is

if too many countries with too many different kinds of populations different

languages different histories different cultures and you're trying to force them

all together Allah United States of America believe me it's hard enough for

us right now we're increasingly becoming uncover noble so Europe wants to go down

that path and they have no Alexander Hamilton so how will they do that and

what is the future of the euro zone joining me right now Bell Point chief

strategist David Nelson and empyrion Wealth Management president Kimberly

Faust good to see you both I you know I look at it and and while it's so great

to think up this idea of how they can all be united in the United States and

Europe David the reality is is that it takes more than a common currency to

have that kind of unification unquestionably true you need a common

government and that's simply they don't have that and you can't support a common

currency without a common government and you're learning that lesson and it's

translating in all sorts of markets I look at credit default swaps for Italy

right now there's sovereign debt those credit default swaps are explode

right now that's translating this pushing money into US Treasuries here

mm-hmm that translation is just to back up so we explain so because this is a

sovereign debt market right it Italy has to sell its debt it sells people is

throwing their debt a lot of American financial forms actually hold this stuff

which is why we watched today exit question why would they want to do that

very very poorly yeah but as you point out as people look for safe havens it's

actually pushing the yield and the 10-year Treasury money is the US

Treasuries is pushing it into the US dollar that's translating over to our

financial system financial stocks are doing very poorly the dollar going up

gives us even more concern about the oil markets and oil prices you put it all

together you get a really sloppy market and a risk off day like today and it's

pretty ugly though we may actually be able to go to Italy right now at the

dollar it's about a buck 15 to buy a euro right now and those are levels that

we certainly haven't seen not in the last ten months and we've broken all

sorts of support at this point let me ask you Kimberly your thoughts on what I

was just explaining which is that there is this revolt going on that we're

seeing not just here in the USA but all around the world in other words

Americans and Europeans are saying enough like this whole global system

where those with capital are rewarded but labor is unfairly punished it's not

working and so they're trying to take their governments back and you see this

rise if you would in a populist sentiment yeah I I agree but here's the

problem is like you said before or Trish is that you know the euro or the year

the eurozone is many different countries and they really can't support themselves

on their own I mean in Italy has 2.7 trillion dollars in debt that's only

behind Japan and Greece under the third largest economy in the eurozone so you

know them trying to create their own I mean like you said it's hard up in the

united states i mean united we fought we now do we stand divided we fall

so for these folks to try and you know exit it's kind of like blech sit we've

seen this before we see this movie I'm not sure if they cared

there strong enough on their own to do this I applaud them to you know have the

freedom sent in to revolt and to have a better life but but if they kind of you

know isn't everyone going at that point I mean we're already talking about Spain

right now which is looking at the same thing David

you you know you you've got a number of countries over there that are saying

we're this is not this hasn't worked out but tentacles nobody ever thought the

tentacle spread everywhere and even earlier this month you saw the Turkish

lira head I believe a record low and it translates to large cap US

multinationals here in this country the dollar goes up makes it difficult to

sell and it speaks to the fact that domestically based countries companies

in this country are doing a lot better our economy is doing just fine

data points that support that we're the one game in town that seems to be

supporting this whole global okay no don't in that case is this market

overreacting as we watch it now that's off 459 or our investors simply you know

really voicing their concerns and fears about some kind of systemic crisis now

don't forget there's a big difference between say the economy having a hiccup

or a challenge and an actual debt crisis and if we've got the concern about a

European debt crisis that's that's increasingly sort of formulating in

investors Minds then that's a whole other kind of one

well a European debt crisis we can't get it through through it unscathed you know

as as strong as we are right now there will be repercussions but right now I

look here in the economy in the United States hard for me to get really

concerned when I see intermodal and rails areas of our economy that touch

every fabric of our economy doing exceedingly well some companies even

raising prices 15% and can't even meet the demand at this point so it does

spread it is a risk but I think we'll come through it just fine all right

you agree with that Kimberly I do I think we're gonna be fine I think that

the fundamentals of the of the earnings of the companies United States are

strong I think were to be as I said before Trish probably in my opinion

higher in this mark at the end of the year then we will be here okay and

investors would have to remember that you know basically you know three things

they need to be allocation they need to figure out where

their assets are their their stocks to their bonds and where they're located

diversification is your friend always in volatile markets and rebalance you know

rebalance your portfolio whatever limits are down thank you thank you thank you

good stuff from both of you appreciate it

we are following these markets everyone done 865 we're going to be falling

throughout the hour maybe this is a buying opportunity I know one guest

who's on says it absolutely positively is plus next is the summit with North

Korea actually back on the top North Korean official is on his way to the US

right now to discuss terms of the on-again off-again summit between

President Trump and Kim jong-un we have the latest Intel for you next

don't go anywhere is the market increasingly makes its way down 500

points only thinking the grain is coca-cola though

Senior N. Korean official Kim Yong-chol to meet with U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in New York - Duration: 2:48.

Our top story this morning...

One of North Korean leader Kim Jong-un's closest aides is en route to New York City for talks

with U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo as the two sides appear to be closing in on a

summit.

Kim Yong-chol's visit comes as meetings are taking place in three different locations

to set the agenda for the summit and the regime's denuclearization.

Kim Hyo-sun tells us more.

The White House confirmed Tuesday that senior North Korean official Kim Yong-chol is set

to meet with U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo this week.

This comes after President Trump tweeted that Kim, Vice Chairman of the North's Workers'

Party is heading to New York City.

Seoul-based Yonhap News Agency says Pompeo and Kim will either meet for a day on Wednesday

or for two days until Thursday.

They are expected to discuss the issue of denuclearization and the security of the Kim

Jong-un regime.

Diplomatic sources say they will have an opportunity to reaffirm their determination for denuclearization

and ensuring the security for Kim Jong-un's regime while working on the final coordinations

before the leaders of the two countries meet face-to-face.

Both Pompeo and Kim Yong-chol are close aides to Trump and Kim Jong-un, respectively,...

and have laid the groundwork for a North Korea-U.S. summit.

While Pompeo visited the North earlier this month,... Kim Yong-chol is the first high-level

North Korean official to visit the U.S. in 18 years.

Therefore,... there's speculation Kim Yong-chol may even meet with President Trump to deliver

a letter from the North Korean leader,... just as Pompeo met with Kim Jong-un as the

special envoy of the U.S. president.

White House Press Secretary Sarah Sanders also said senior Trump administration officials

are directly coordinating with their North Korean counterparts in Singapore and the Korean

demilitarized zone.

Kim Chang-son,... the de-facto chief of staff of Kim Jong-un has reportedly met with Joe

Hagin, a White House deputy chief of staff in Singapore to discuss the specific date

and logistics of a North Korea-U.S. summit.

This is being carried out simultaneously with the discussions involving the nuclear negotiators

from both countries,... Sung Kim, the U.S. ambassador to the Philippines and Choe Sun-hui,

the regime's vice foreign minister.

Meanwhile,... Singapore's presidential palace,... also known as the Istana,... could host the

historic summit.

This is according to South Korean newspaper JoongAng Ilbo daily,... which quoted unnamed

sources as saying it could be the venue considering the meeting's magnitude and sensitivity.

U.S. to hold off planned additional sanctions against North Korea while talks continue: WSJ - Duration: 1:39.

Washington chose to delay imposing new sanctions targeting Pyongyang.

The decision is in tune with the recent turnaround related to the planned historic meeting...

with visible efforts on both sides, to mend diplomatic ties.

Oh Soo-young zooms in on this possible sign of thawing tensions.

The Trump administration has decided to hold off on additional sanctions against North

Korea.

Citing U.S. government officials, the Wall Street Journal reported Monday that Washington

will indefinitely shelve the planned extra measures against the North while the two sides

hold talks to prepare for their upcoming summit.

The report says officials had been ready to unveil the additional measures as early as

Tuesday, targeting further sources of income for the cash-starved Kim Jong-un regime.

The sanctions are believed to have included expelling North Korean laborers from foreign

countries, as well as targeting Russian and Chinese entities with ties to the regime.

Such measures were being prepared in response to the recent aggressive rhetoric from Pyongyang

officials which caused the U.S. leader to call off the summit.

Secretary of State Mike Pompeo said the policy of maximum pressure against North Korea would

continue, in order to squeeze its economy.

Washington's most recent round of sanctions in February targeted the North's illegal maritime

trade and a global network of businesses that generate cash for the regime.

However, with summit preparations between the two sides seemingly back on track, it

seems Washington is aiming to maintain the progress on repairing their relations.

In recent weeks, top officials have promised Pyongyang economic prosperity and U.S. private

investment should it fully denuclearize.

N. Korea's ex-spy chief in U.S. for talks - Duration: 1:23.

North Korea's former top intelligence official Kim Yong-chol is visiting New York this week,

in the clearest sign yet that the isolated country really wants to salvage the potential

summit with U.S. President Donald Trump.

The White House says Kim will meet with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo as part of ongoing talks

about a prospective summit.

Trump previously withdrew from participating in the summit but has signaled he might change

his mind about that.

Kim holds several high-level political and military titles in North Korea, including

the ruling party's vice chairman for inter-Korean affairs.

He's been on the front lines of North Korea's latest diplomatic outreach, appearing at the

2018 Winter Olympics in South Korea and the inter-Korea summit at the DMZ.

Kim has been a controversial choice for diplomacy: South Korea blames him for a deadly 2010 attack

on a military vessel as well as the shelling of an island that same year.

The U.S. has also accused Kim of orchestrating the 2014 hack that exposed thousands of emails

from executives at Sony Pictures Entertainment.

Kim is technically under sanctions from both South Korea and the U.S., but both nations

have been willing to waive those sanctions for the sake of diplomacy.

Kim's visit comes after a U.S. delegation crossed into North Korea for talks about the

prospective summit.

The two sides are still working out the stakes of the summit, including whether North Korea's

nuclear program will be on the table.

TRUMP confirms a top NORTH KOREAN official the US for talks - Duration: 12:34.

Fox News Alert president Trump confirming the vice chairman of North

Korea is heading to New York for talks when he lands tomorrow in New York City

he'll be the highest-ranking North Korean official to visit the country

since 2000 as the president suggests there is a lot of new hope that a summit

will take place this is outnumbered I'm Sandra Smith here today harris faulkner

town hall editor and fox news contributor Katie Pavlich Democratic

strategist and Fox News contributor Jessica Starr live and joining us on the

couch Fox Business anchor David Asman and he is nice pictures of them yeah on

the program all right a lot of news to get to let's begin a lot of new

developments as president Trump is still working towards potentially meeting with

North Korean leader Kim jong-un White House councilor Kellyanne Conway

weighing in this morning this president on the brink again of bringing

conversation and coordination between North Korean South Korea for the first

time in 18 years a North Korean official will be coming to America on the way to

New York President Trump tweeting earlier we have put a great team

together for our talks with North Korea meetings are currently taking place

concerning summit and more kim yong-chul the vice chairman of north korea heading

now to new york solid response to my letter thank you vice chairman kim

yeongcheol who used to be the head of North Korea's spy agency landed in

Beijing today ahead of his trip to the United States this follows a phone call

between President Trump and Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe a yesterday

the two agreed to meet in advance of the expected meeting between President Trump

and Kim jong-un we're now learning they will meet June 7th on Saturday Kim

jong-un met with the president of south Kariya can reiterated his commitment to

participating in a summit with the US and the Trump administration reportedly

going to hold off on applying major new sanctions against North Korea Richardson

is following all this for us live from the State Department Rick where things

continue to change where are we now good afternoon Sandra and that top North

Korean official on his way to New York right now this would be the highest

level official visit from a North Korean official since 2002 the United States

the White House says North Korean vice chairman of the Central Committee kim

youngchul will meet later this week with Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and

Associated Press photographer captured Kim connecting through Beijing on his

way to the United States Kim has been deeply involved in North Korean dictator

Kim Jong Un's international outreach to China South Korea for the Olympics and

to the United States kim yeongcheol has already met with secretary pompay

travel to Pyongyang twice a senior military official Kim 12th or

trying to target June 12th even after the president threatened last week to

scrap this so the US and North Korea are working on the logistics like where

specifically to have this travel arrangements but then there's also the

substance of negotiating the discussions about how North Korea is going to

surrender its nuclear program how much of that it's going to surrender what

that looks like and what the United States is willing to give in return so

this is a very aggressive schedule to try to get this summit back on track for

June 12th and summit in Singapore but there's also this issue of laying the

groundwork for the talks between Kim jong-un and president Trump so that they

can reach a deal on this issue Sandra a lot we know a lot we don't at this point

Richardson at the State Department thank you so David this leaves us with the big

question what are the chances this actually happens and if it happens is it

June 12th is it after that date well you said there are a lot of things

we don't know one thing we do know is that this guy was coming here kim

yong-chul he is a dangerous this these are it sort

of reminds me of a friend who used to have a collection of poisonous spiders

you know and I always wondered how the heck can he deal with poisonous spiders

he became the curator the reptile Department of the National Zoo so he

knew what he was doing but I just hope and I I think they do when you look at

our current Secretary of State Mike Pompeo you think of John Bolden you

think of Miss Haspel the head of the CIA they know that they're dealing with

poisonous spiders they have all the background of how to deal with these

people so I trust that they will be as careful as you have to be but this is a

guy who was responsible for the death of 46 South Koreans involved in that naval

incident that rich was talking about God knows how many North Koreans he's been

responsible for murdering so the this we're dealing with poisonous spiders and

we just have to be very careful here what does this mean politically if this

does happen Jessica what are Democrats gonna have to say about this but they

give the president a victory if this summit actually takes place I think so

absolutely I think their husband cautious optimism on both sides here I

think that would seem like a rather brash letter that went out canceling the

summit from President Trump was something that ruffled feathers on both

sides I saw that from Republicans we've been supportive of him also looks like

it was effective from President I think that there has always been a

discomfort amongst a lot of people with the way in which President Trump does

diplomacy what would it be uncomfortable I'm just

saying when you when you see that and when it shows up suddenly out of nowhere

and you think there's a summit coming and it's a very you know trumpian

written letter as it were and not at all in diplomatic speak I understand why

people on both sides are but like can I ask you a question about that though cuz

because you and other Democrats are describing the letter quite differently

you call it a brash letter I think you understand the diplomacy that the

president was trying to acknowledge there Nancy Pelosi called it a Valentine

it can't be both right can't be yeah I know you're not Nancy but it's

interesting you also not it you know you're not on the hill so you're able to

step back and kind of look at things and may call them what they are I don't know

if she was playing a game of politics there but she looks pretty silly today

now coming out calling something a giggle fit for an enemy who did what

David just described right more on their pictures to go with someone yeah and

then there's the whole threatening us with nuclear war thing again yeah that

took place so I think they did deserve a brash letter in response to that brought

them to the table and it brought them back to diplomacy right so there was all

this talk leading up to the summit the president agreed to this months ago he

never said it was a done deal the White House numbers it was a done deal they

put a date on the calendar and then Kim Jong Un's started meeting with China

behind her back started acting up and then the thing fell apart because of the

North Koreans and the president rightfully so pulled out after again

they threatened us with with nuclear war we look at what's happening now moving

forward john bolton who has been in a little bit of controversy for talking

about the libyan model look over the last couple of weeks has been in direct

contact with South Korean officials but recently in you know she talks to them

almost every single day you have the Prime Minister Ian and the Japanese

corrected as my next point is Prime Minister Japan is coming to the White

House at the first week of June June 6 to meet directly with President Trump so

they are still engaged I never said the summit was a done deal they understood

from the beginning they could pull out of it

June 12th is pretty soon I'm not so sure that they'll get to it then

but this idea that the White House never had the you know the card to pull off

the table of not showing up that was always on this by the way don't

at the sense that the Japanese Prime Minister is more aligned with president

Trump on dealing with North Korea than the South Korean president moon in fact

president moon didn't know that the meeting was going to be canceled in

question maybe back on again until he got back to South Korea he was visiting

here he seemed to be in shock by the whole thing it just seems that he is a

little too anxious to to give everything the North Koreans want in this what did

you make of the US confirming and making a very public that we would not impose

any new sanctions on North Korea in the meantime right well it's I love the the

good-cop bad-cop that that president Trump is play because it is working like

no other policy has work going back with Republican and Democratic

administrations in the past they've always gotten away with their crap when

it comes to building up their nuclear arsenal building up their missile

technology they've gotten away with it bye-bye glad talking in some cases by

talking with with terrible language in the past that was never that was never

hit back properly by a president until now now we have this mix it may not

please the diplomats Jessica but but it gets the point through to the folks in

North Korea who as I said before our poises these are the nastiest characters

on earth and this is the way that you get through them and this keeps the

North Koreans kind of on their heels in terms of what would they normally be

doing Katie they'd be firing missiles right to show that they're in charge by

this president saying you know what we're gonna we're now gonna lean in with

more diplomacy we'll hold back on the sanctions which by the way we know

really hurts your people remember when he called the North Korean people last

week he spoke directly to them at one point he said they are hardworking

people he's kind of encircling Kim jong-un and you know he's in the middle

he's got the hardliners who were telling him to say the stuff he said last week

about death to you know the nuclear war whatever and then he's got his people on

the ground kind of glimpsing sunshine for one yeah of course we haven't talked

about China which is which is a key issue here because the president last

week said after the last meeting that Kim had with the Chinese they went

silent they stopped talking cleanness started acting different

that's correct then then we had some kind of deal that was made with the

telephone company at the end of last week and then it's back on again so what

is the relationship between our trade relations with China and their pressure

on North Korea either to have a deal or to pull back from a deal there it's a

it's a real three-dimensional chess game that we're playing here conversation is

a lot more complicated especially once you find out that the Trump Organization

is getting a whole lot of patents over there in China at the same time that

this is going on for Ivanka's company specifically and there are a lot of

people what well the the trade questions the deals the president Trump is making

on behalf the United States of America are benefiting his own family Katie I

like Katie follow up on that one well I want to actually just go back to why the

White House decided to pull the summit if you look at the background reporting

and the things that they said they were two specific promises that the North

Koreans broke when it came to why they decided to leave they had agreed that

the United States would not be stopping military exercises in South Korea then

they got all up in arms about that continuing and they also promised to

denuclearize now they're saying that they're not going to so it's not like

the White House just cancelled it they put forward very specific reasons where

they were pulling out I did go silent there was a period where there was this

act of negotiation between North Koreans in the United States and then he just

went all right that was right after the second meeting in China so I just want

to know fly-on-the-wall what trying to promise them maybe we'll never know we

have to leave it there president Trump and his lawyer Rudy Giuliani ramping up

criticism of the special counsels Russia probe what they are saying now and

whether they have a point plus president Trump gearing up to hold a rally in

Nashville tonight we're GOP Senate candidate Marsha Blackburn has been

touting her support of the President's agenda will this be a winning strategy

for Republicans come November or could it backfire with women voters who may

feel differently will debate women are focused primarily on a couple of things

number one is the economic security issue and they

know that their lives are getting better every single day under the policies of

Donald Trump

Senior N. Korean official Kim Yong-chol to meet with U.S. Secretary of State Mike Pompeo in ... - Duration: 0:56.

Kim Yong-chol's visit to the U.S. will be the first by a North Korean official of his

rank in 18 years.

After rescheduling his departure multiple times, he took an Air China flight at 1 o'clock

this afternoon, Beijing time, which will put him New York at around 2:20 in the afternoon

on Wednesday, local time.

He was accompanied by another top official, Choe Kang-il, who's in charge of North American

affairs at Pyongyang's foreign ministry.

When Kim Yong-chol meets Mike Pompeo, they're expected to discuss the issues of denuclearization

and a security guarantee for the North Korean regime.

Kim and Pompeo have had similar jobs -- both as head of their countries' intelligence agencies

and as top aides to Kim Jong-un and Donald Trump respectively.

So reports say it's possible that Kim Yong-chol will personally deliver a letter to President

Trump, much like when Pompeo twice met with the North Korean leader in Pyongyang.

SUNDAY:US officials enterd NOKO for talks TRUM-KIM SUMMIT - Duration: 12:16.

so this could be good news for those of us who like to sleep in on the weekends

there is now a study that shows those who do tend to live a longer life dr.

Nicole Sapphire board-certified radiologist with us here in the studio

today good to see you great to meet you coming on you know I was reading this

study basically says that if you sleep during the week say you know for five

hours as some people do because of their jobs you can almost make up for it on

the weekend which I thought forever wasn't true what do you make of this

it's interesting it's a little different than what we've heard in the past you

know very happy to be here Memorial Day to give a little bit of good news to

those of us who like to sleep in on the weekends and we know in the past that

you need to have sleep for your health it can not only impair your judgment

poor decision-making it can also if you don't get enough sleep cause increased

blood pressure and obesity in the past we've always known that less than five

hours of sleep every night is not good for your health and this large study

that just came out of Sweden reconfirm that for us but what was interesting out

of the study was that they said for people who get five hours of sleep

during the week and then maybe seven hours of sleep on the weekend right it

actually doesn't have any change in their health benefits they actually go

back to normal as though they were having seven hours of sleep all week

long and that's really different than what we've kind of been trained in you

always tell you people would always tell you forever well it's nice to sleep 12

hours you might feel better but you can never make up sleep and this seems to go

again a little bit this large study again over 43,000 people in it were

followed over 13 years they said if you slept five hours a night every night for

the whole week you had a 65% increased risk of death compared to those who

sleep maybe seven hours but if you got that seven hours on the weekend that

this just went back to normal and I mean I find that a little a little stunning

right so you wouldn't necessarily be passing this along to all your patients

right away I have been sleeping on the weekends yeah we all do it makes us feel

better this is an observational study we have to remember that you can't have

cause and effect and if you can't get sleep during the week just try and get

on the weekend to ask your medical question that might seem a little silly

at first but why medically why scientifically do people who don't sleep

as much dice sooner what's the reason there's

actually a lot that goes into it and you can't just say for this for one person

just being in Sweden alone is very different than being in the United

States but on a global sense essentially your metabolisms down when you're when

you're sleep-deprived you're tired your metabolisms down you have poor

decision-making there are actually higher accidents and injuries and those

that are sleep-deprived they have cardiovascular disease heart

attacks strokes there's a whole plethora of diseases that come when your body is

just not getting the replenishment it requires an idea you could actually

sleep too much absolutely the same study has shown if you sleep eight hours or

more you have a 25% increased risk of death so this is just 7 hours if you can

can't win here for so the idea is to average seven hours everything in

moderation live as healthy as you can and sleep when you can I guess but not

more than eight hours a night have a good sleep tonight thanks for coming in

appreciate it all right Arthur a good night rest to both of you okay a

historic summit could be getting back on track as meetings between North and

South Korea reignite hopes for peace on the peninsula we'll go live to Seoul

straight ahead well a potential summit between the United States and North

Korea may be back on we welcome me back to the second hour on this Memorial Day

edition of happening now it's good to be with you I'm Connell McShane and I

Marcel Neville officials from the US and North Korea are meeting at the DMZ to

discuss issues leading up to a potential meeting between President Trump and kim

jeong-hoon this as Kim held a surprise meeting Saturday with South Korean

president moon jae-in to discuss the potential summit and denuclearization

senior foreign affairs correspondent Brett Calcott is in Seoul South Korea

right now with more hi Greg our cell we are tracking intensifying

talks are out this region and their run-up to a possible summit between

president Robin North Korean leader Kim Jong Hwan at the scene of that surprise

summit this past weekend between Kim and South Korean president moon jae-in on

the North Korean side of the DMZ a US team is seeing how willing Pyongyang

really is to denuclearize word for example Monday in their state media is

that they would do it on their quote own timetable the US team has headed up by

the current US ambassador to the Philippines a long time North Korea

State Department hand korean-american Sung Kim on the North Korean side a very

powerful Vice foreign minister Cho sung we she is the one who last week in an

explosive statement called vice president pence a political dummy and in

Singapore right now according to a variety of reports another US team led

this time by the White House deputy chief of staff Jo Hagan reportedly will

be joined by North Korean officials they'll be working on logistics the nuts

and bolts of a possible meeting in that venue again all sides in the last couple

of days we're talking about North Korean leader Kim talking about president Trump

talking like that a summit will actually be happening the devil however in all of

these things is in the strategic details and that's what's being worked on right

now artha great Pell cot thank you very much Tom all right I thought we're

joined now to talk a little bit more about this by Lieutenant Colonel Dakota

wood served two decades in the Marines and it's the senior research fellow now

for defense programs at Heritage good to see you colonel it is it's looking to

Greg's point like I guess we might be back on for the summit between President

Trump and and Kim Jong moon what do you make of the way the presidents handled

the back-and-forth here well I mean he's held to his previous small points on

many negotiating iterations we have to be willing to walk away to show that

you're serious about the objectives that you've laid out so if he continued to

concede if he gave all these in concessions etc then it gives North

Korea the upper hand a clear in a way so I think by saying look this is

working out in our interests we're gonna walk away from this thing well we saw

this flurry of activity of people trying to keep the summit on so the fact that

they're back talking again shows that it was a good move and this maximum

pressure along with the desire to talk I think there's only a positive thing

yeah gets it back on your terms would be the argument let me go to James clapper

for a moment the former Director of National Intelligence as you know has

been no fan let's put it that way of this president especially in recent

months but this is what he said about this topic take a listen having gone

this for there's value in meeting and greeting gripping and grinning and just

establishing a rapport right I think yes I think it would be important to have

this woman clapper went on to say Colonel that Kim jong-un may have met

his match in our unconventional President as he referred to President

Trump what do you make of that well I think traditional gets to traditional

results so if we are not happy with a nuclear North Korea and many other

locations in the world that has been the result of the conventional diplomacy you

have an unconventional approach as the foreign policy community would view this

and you're getting results that are different and I think that's what

everybody wants so to clappers point you know people are talking what why isn't

that a good thing and what you'll have to feel their way out you notice they

move forward on this thing they've got that June 12th as a target date they're

not beholden to it but certainly it gives you something to discuss and the

fact that we have teams on the ground in both locations Singapore and there in

the DMZ area and the North Koreans are meeting with Chinese and South Koreans

these are all very good things and I think it's a tribute to the president's

approach to how he's handling this let's just say then that it does happen on

June 12th or or right around that time you spoke about results I mean those are

results in setting up these talks and having conversations but what about when

the summit actually takes place in Singapore the president meets with kim

jungeun what a results what would results mean to you in terms of what he

comes home with I think an additional opportunity to continue talks I mean

truly I don't think it's realistic to expect that everybody is going to get

everything they want at the first meeting between the leaders the United

States and North Korea you know since the Korean War so the

idea that they get together in the room they'll both measure each other up

there'll be a lot of background discussions between the teams on either

side it will consult allies and all that so you know at this idea that you're

getting together and talking I think it will probably lead to additional

discussions and not some kind of ultimate conclusion but a commitment to

quote unquote denuclearize does that need to be up front doors that's

something that we lead up to and there's been a lot of discussion about what that

even means that both sides see it differently yeah I think your point

right there is where it comes down to is what do you really mean by denuclearize

so everybody takes everything off the table the departure of US troops you

know what does it mean in terms of the North Korean program do they allow

international inspectors coming in so that those points will have to be

discussed and what that really defines and then subsequent discussions would

get into the details that is what it means though right all in no nuclear

weapons and you allow inspectors to come in and and and look to see whether or

not you're honoring those agreements that's what denuclearization is to us

right to us yes I mean it from the United States side we're not quite sure

what the North Koreans view of this in the final results all right so it looks

like the bedding is now that president Trump has put himself in a position to

do this now the questions you said is what kind of

results you could expect once he goes there what role does China playing all

of this it seems as if the Chinese and really upset this president the way that

they had had that secret meeting or that extra meeting with Kim jong-un yeah and

yet the United States through president Trump is trying to help out you know in

some business dealings negotiations etc so you know it's a multi-faceted problem

you're not going to be happy with some aspects you're happy with other aspects

certainly the economic card and continued support and trade between

North Korea and China is a major issue you know on the table here so even

though if the rest of the world isn't doing economic relationships of North

Korea as long as they've got a lifeline to China that keeps North Korea flowed

so it's a wild card there no sign the Chinese are pulling that back at all

despite I mean there's a lot of pressure on them to economic pressure that the

United States is putting on them but they've

it's still fairly close to North Korea right yeah well I mean it's your

next-door neighbors so how could they not continue to have relationships with

them and the other countries in that region so again there's a lot of irons

in the fire here and people are gonna have to feel their way going forward an

unconventional president in the United States a leader in China who's

essentially leader for life now so these these players aren't going away and

they're having to figure out in the multilateral sets of relationships in

the Asia region how all these things play out how does it affect

relationships of Japan Chinese militarization South China Sea

South Korea I mean all these are issues that in the back of everyone's mind and

they're trying to feel their way forward all right

it's great to have all your time today colonel what is the final point you're

saying this is on right for June 12th if you were a betting man I don't know if

you are yeah I think it is I mean with teams on the ground I'd place the bet in

that direction sure thank you sir good to see you today

you
