President Trump canceled the North Korea segment over open hostility as he put it

from Kim jong-un and his regime however President Trump hinting the tarts could

began again if North Korea were willing to change course in harmony prosperity

and peace that bright and beautiful future can only happen when the threat

of nuclear weapons is removed no way it can happen otherwise if and when Kim

jong-un's uses to engage in constructive dialogue and actions

I am waiting and North Korea didn't wait very long inviting a handful of

journalists to observe as their nuclear site was quote-unquote dismantled we

know three explosions took place but there were no nuclear experts there no

weapons experts and those who watched from afar halfway around the globe

suggesting this is all more symbolic than practical but that's the sort of

blather that you hear from people who don't know anything

some believe the Hermit Kingdom may have sites that they're not disclosing and in

2008 they did blow up a cooling tower negotiations fell through nonetheless

joining us tonight congressman Lee Zeldin he serves on the House Foreign

Affairs Committee he calls he's calling for the appointment of a second special

counsel to investigate an absolutely corrupted Department of Justice and and

FBI leadership good to have you here Congress great to be back it didn't take

hours for the North Koreans to respond and now they want to talk after the

president said there will be no June 12 summit your thoughts it's important to

treat our friends as our friends there are adversaries as our adversaries

understand your adversaries do not respect weakness the only respect

strength and while we say you can't be it's not because you want Wars but it's

because we want to make sure that we're able to prevent it and the president in

approaching this entire situation North Korea knows that the North Koreans and

these other nations will only respect the United States and president Trump if

we go into it from a position of strength and our hand just became

stronger with the president showing a willingness not only to walk away from

the summit if the North Koreans continue with these antics and the Chinese

possibly as well but military force is an option as and with that being a real

option I think strengthens his hands as far as diplomacy and the economic

pressure and the president conveyed today I thought absolutely no suggestion

whatsoever of anger he was constrained even as he basically was threatening the

North Koreans with their own destruction and managed at the same time to validate

again the terms of a summit which are very straightforward this president said

it and said it again and again today you will Denis clear eyes and that is

non-negotiable and remember where we were just a few years ago President

Obama negotiating with Iran and negotiating from a position of weakness

red lines getting crossed Iran using rhetoric like calling us the Great Satan

chanting death to America still legally test-firing intercontinental ballistic

missiles and you remember when they took our sailors and embarrass them with the

photos and videography orestes and secretary Kerry said thank you that was

his response not anymore and president like the congressman is

not just using an aside there that is it an exact quote from Secretary of State

Kerry thank you thank you president Trump though is showing that this is not

that he's setting red lines he's being strong but he was not provocative last

August when he was talking about fire and fury the fact is of North Korea

attacked the United States they we met with fire in fury and while we're here

in our any of our allies and we're here at our country and we're asking is Kim

jong-un crazy enough is to do this or to do that I think Kim

jong-un was over North Korea saying no and I think Donald Trump is crazy enough

to attack me and what by making that military option look real and with the

state of the economy and even in last August when a Ambassador Haley and and

president Trump they were able to get a unanimous UN Security Council resolution

passed that even China and North Korea voted for you know you've said President

Trump is crazy enough I think I think him is saying that III I think Kim

jong-un right now and his regime understand that this president is smart

enough determined enough and courageous enough to do exactly what he is

intimating and I think that I've never seen a clear example of the man's I

collected cool are his his constraint than today because he had to be furious

in in some measure he did not in in any way in any way I allow anyone to see

that anger that he might possess I would say almost surely possesses but I think

he has made his mind up and I think that's got to scare the hell out of the

Koreans and by the way I think it scares the hell out of Shane ping and I think

he's learning a lesson here perhaps that more profound lesson than even Kim

jong-un I will I will say this you'll first off kim jongmin is known to be

homicidal not suicidal and i think that's part of his calculation as well

and without disclosing any confidence i yet yesterday I traveled President Trump

to Long Island and there were a couple of times what was with him that broached

the topic of North Korea and all I'll say is this he knows exactly what he's

doing he is thinking through this is incredibly important to him but it's

very deliberate and he has calm cool and collected and strong and I believe that

his decision today was necessary to let the North Koreans know that they are not

in charge they're not there they don't they're not going to role the United

States the way that the Iranians rolled the United States three years ago I

think this president made that clear in his first year in office

really do he served notice that he is not in any part the in the order of

succession of the incompetent presidents that we've had in office think about

this three presidents in a row three of the worst presidents we've had in our

country's history that is Clinton that is Bush and that is Obama and this

country is very very lucky that this is our president now right and he

understands the art of the deal he also understands the need to prioritize

America first in these negotiations and he's also talking about how important

this is for the world he's exercising leadership on the world stage I remember

going to Israel in August of 2015 meeting with Bibi and it's saying you

know like this guy was reluctantly in the leader of the free world we don't

have one right now right now we have a leader of the free world and he's our

president absolutely congressman ladies Alvin good to have you with great to be

back thank you well lying Obama Intel chief james

clapper just can't stop can't stop himself he runs his mouth even as

Spygate blows up around him and he validates many of the charges against

him we'll have reaction to his latest comments from former FBI assistant

director James Cole sir he joins us here next you don't want to miss a moment

we'll be right back

James clapper now claims the Russians swung the 2016 presidential election for

Donald Trump the former Obama Intel chief supposed

bombshell comment contradicting the view of the entire intelligence community's

formal assessment released after they thoroughly investigated the matter last

year in joining us now former FBI assistant director grade of American and

terrific terrific friend of this broadcast good to see you James James

Kallstrom nice to be here Lou let's I mean I can't even believe the Sun real

for the former nd I yeah does he forget what his testimony was before the

Congress I I guess he does and I don't think it matters to him one whit whether

he's good an ally or not yeah the man needs some psychiatric help

and what about James call me it called me as you know we've been talking about

at least I have among others for about a year and a half now and call me mm-hmm

and he he's a guy with the biggest attitude and the biggest he puts himself

on this huge pedestal the ego is just unbelievable yet he has no common sense

and and you know to think that he could pull off this whitewash of a fraudulent

investigation on Hillary Clinton when the president of Obama himself on at

least two occasions said there's no evidence against her she's she's done

nothing wrong I mean you'd have to be a moron not to

not to know that that was just a phony thing from the very beginning yeah not

to understand the dog whistle from the president states about his former

Secretary of State he couldn't have been clearer I agree with you yeah I and and

for the most obvious I think the most obvious pay-for-play scandal in this

country's history is the Clinton Foundation and for the FBI to permit

itself to conclude that they're not going to have an investigation then try

to sell the nonsense that don't worry we got it under control out in the Little

Rock well it wasn't the if the FBI was investigating

Clinton Foundation I've called it you know a big a RICO case than the Mafia

right quite frankly you know more sophisticated more money involved you

know and it wasn't that the FBI agents didn't want to investigate it it's you

know these five or six or twelve or fifteen or twenty or whoever with this

number of sick Rafi and then why should there be a much larger out that we maybe

it's fifty but I'll tell you right now Lou it's not the thousands of agents

that are out there there I hear from tons and tons of these people they are

so upset about what is going on you know and some of your guests on this show who

I think I respect they you know I've talked about turning over the FBI to the

Marshal Service I think that's really a crazy idea everyone has their own idea

but that is not anything that should ever happen we need new leadership we

need and discipline we need to get rid of the top ranking people in there right

now what I bring a leader in there that can motivate and discipline the agency

that's what needs to happen right here's what I think and I like that your

judgment about the future of the FBI there is an institution yes

I personally believe it depends on how many agents step forward and say under

subpoena what truly happened if there isn't that residual within the rank and

file of the FBI I think that the institution is doomed oh and by the way

I've got a sitting here with the greatest respect and affection for you I

have to say that if they don't step up here that they deserve that institution

to be absolutely swept aside well I believe the vast majority of those that

have knowledge that have a reason that step forward other than that's what they

see on television every day now and that's a small number because call

me you know those other sycophants brought that investigation and those

other investigations close hold you know the agents themselves in the field

offices it was all taken away I mean they called up the New York office and

shut down the Clinton Foundation investigation they shut it down a little

rock it's not the agents that are out there it's this group of people that

that perpetrated this fraud on on the country and thought they could get away

with it I mean it's been unbelievable what we're doing

to a fine institution I spent half my god you know most of my adult life there

you know I know it's I know what people go to work for every day they are in the

FBI well you know it's a shame that this has happened that we put a series of bad

leadership and I'll include Bob Muller in that

absolutely I mean Muller and and call you as a disaster both working in the

high and most highly politicized administration they politicized the

Justice Department the FBI the Internal Revenue Service the list goes on Obama

no part bomber government they do police Obama

politicized the entire government yeah you know and he filled it with

sycophants and the people who succumbed to the Stockholm Syndrome and I mean

it's just a tragedy what went on you know and guys like Brennan and clapper

and call me how did you ever create how could they John O Brennan I mean what of

these horrible men whose yeah off you all you have to do is watch the

man I know them I can tell you that's a good that's a good feeling on your part

because he said he's a really a psychopath that guy you know and all his

rantings and ravings and threatening people you know it we gotta clean this

thing out resident of United cluding the president of states and here we've got

the Deputy Attorney General threatening people I mean what is this yeah this

here's a guy who signed one of the renewals on the on the fraudulent Pfizer

application I mean what is going on here and today we we don't even know whether

the gang of eight the the heads of the House Intelligence and oversight

committees actually got to see the documents of origin leading to the

special counsel we don't we don't know whether they were just briefed about it

or were they had a knows had it on the head and I mean this conspiracies been

working for a long long time yeah you know in this getting Donald Trump

whenever there was an inkling that he was going to win this thing you know

there was a there was a Fifth Column a strong Fifth Column then and they're

still there today there's still there today I keep saying to folks and I will

continue to say to folks you know it's not just this president as

and the guts and intelligence to drive this but to imagine what he was stands

every day yeah and has had to withstand from from the moment he ran for this no

no no for 43 years and and there were him to stand out like he had this gun

and he's never he's never not gonna stand up oh no matter what happens

through these fools i I have I believe that wholeheartedly yeah Jim it's great

to see and God bless yellow dubs god bless here James Collison thanks for

being here yes sir be sure to vote in our poll do you

believe the only effective policy to end Kim jong-un's nuclear threats and

provocations is a use of military force would like to hear from you cast your

the Trump administration is focused on supporting our Border Patrol as they as

they confront a crisis on our border Fox News national defense correspondent

William la jeunesse with the latest from the Rio Grande in Texas just after

takeoff the calls pour in agents need help tracking four separate groups 460

miles north of the border his helicopter just flushed out a group of 16 you see

how they all run in different directions that puts them at a great risk if we

miss one of these individuals now there's

karla Provos is the first woman to head the Border Patrol

the Rio Grande Valley is definitely our busiest area along the border down 2000

agents nationwide Provost welcomes help from the National Guard over the last

few years our attrition has been outpacing our hiring so this is a good

stopgap measure having the guard here she wants eight National Guard

helicopters here and more Guardsmen monitoring cameras I mean they're

operating with our cameras and our technology bringing their own sensors to

bear and doing it in the same way that we do on the border those cameras caught

this group of Central Americans crossing the Rio Grande we're averaging about a

daily average it really is it takes up a lot of our manpower

according to CBP 80% of those apprehended in South Texas are Central

Americans most seeking asylum Univ Anglian Mendez is gonna try to see what

he can do to stay in state agents say the problem is they're so focused on

processing families and unaccompanied minors vast areas are left unprotected

that the 86 individuals were illegal aliens four of which were unaccompanied

children police and border agents stopped this semi crammed with

immigrants who poked a hole in the roof to escape as long as they're gonna make

money off of human smuggling often drug smuggling they're gonna keep doing it

catching illegal immigrants is one thing but releasing them officials say is a

much bigger problem which President Trump has vowed but is yet to solve Lou

William thanks very much William la jeunesse reporting from the Rio Grande

well a big part of all that is the chaos on our border is and not many people

talk about this corruption and great corruption on both sides of the border

GDPR Impact on Organizations in Canada and the United States - Duration: 10:37.

Will Canadians and Americans demand that our governments make businesses

offer privacy protections similar to GDPR? New research reveals...

GDPR impact on businesses in Canada and the United States. The is a Cyverity report and a

special edition of Threat Actions This Week. GDPR, of course, is the general

data protection regulation and it went live as of May 25th 2018. OK let's look

at the nine rights that individuals now have in Europe and the businesses need

to comply with in Canada and the United States if you are collecting processing

or otherwise using personal data from Europeans or about Europeans. So let's go

through the nine rights really quickly and then I'll just highlight some of the

real differences that we're seeing. Number one is the right to be informed. To

know what data you have about me. The right to correct my data to rectify any

errors in the data that you have about me. The right to be forgotten to ask you

to delete personal data that you have about me. The right to restrict or limit

how you use my data. The right to be notified. To let me know if you've

corrected deleted or have otherwise complied with my request. The right to

data portability. To allow me to take my data from your business somewhere else.

The right to object. To tell you to stop using my data in the way that you might

be or to stop collecting that data. The right to limit profiling. To not have my

data, the data about me, segmented into buckets based on your algorithms. OK so

what are the really big changes here because some of this we already sort of

have when we look at our own American or Canadian privacy legislation. There are

differences though. The right to be forgotten absolutely a big change and

that could be costly for organizations as you cull through your data to pull

out the historical records of customers and delete those records. The right to

date a portability. This one can't be underestimated. As

you're investing in the relationship between you and your customers that

customer has the right to remove their data from your system and bring it over

to someone else's system. In other words it's their data not your data. So that's

a pretty big change and something again not to underestimate. Now here's one that

hasn't received as much attention as I think it should have. You have the right

to limit profiling now as artificial intelligence gets better and better and

as there's new ways to correlate all different kinds of information there's

all sorts of new business models new trends that haven't even been thought of

yet when we think about how artificial intelligence is going to be

fundamentally reshaping the interaction between business and customers how it's

going to be forming new communities well as an individual in Europe I have the

right to tell you to not profile me in certain ways can the long arm of the law

of the European Union really extend across the ocean and reach my

organization well the short answer is yes a court ruling in the European Union

absolutely can take effect in Canada or the United States will a set of privacy

rights as strong as those in effect for European soon safeguard North Americans

if we take popular opinion as a guide to how lawmakers may react let's find out

what five hundred people from across the continent think this survey was

conducted as of May 23rd 2018 all right here's the question should the United

States government make businesses give you more control of your own private

data like GDP our will for Europeans and that same question was posed for

Canadians about the Canadian government the options they have are yes no or

don't know Canada I'll get to the results in just a minute let's start

with the United States only 12% say no if it wasn't for the big news of

late about Cambridge analytic ah and Facebook I'd find the sentiment

counterintuitive I thought Americans opted for less

government not quite libertarian but not this lowest twelve percent of the

population so how many Americans said yes they do want more legislated privacy

protection 42% of Americans said yes well that leaves 46% a fairly large

percentage that are undecided at this point in time women tended to look

towards government involvement a little more than men interestingly by age

typically as we get older we want more government oversight say for those who

are 18 to 24 year old who stand out is a very important demographic and possibly

a leading indicator of change on the way with the amount of them who are saying

yes I do want government involvement to protect my privacy now in Canada similar

to Americans 14 percent say no thanks to government involvement in making

business protect their personal data but only 33 percent say yes now if I had to

place a bet on the results of this research in advance I would have lost

this one I would have thought Canadians would seek more government intervention

than Americans but the people of spoken another small difference is that men in

Ghana seem to slightly favor added privacy protection from an age

perspective there are some differences to the US but generally speaking the

shape of our sentiment is much the same when we're in the heart of our working

years we vote for less protection but when were younger or when were older

were likely to say look I want more protection very interesting ok so what

are these results mean overall so two things one with a large number of

undecided and number two with the younger population saying that they want

change we could very well see GDP our strength legislation coming to

North America if our politicians are reading these kind of tea leaves so

there are certainly a lot of checklists online where your organization can go to

find out what it should be looking at and the tasks it should be laying out

for itself with respect to GD P R let me highlight some of the key areas that

your organization will want to look at one is don't collect extraneous personal

data well that goes without saying at least it should with respect to existing

privacy legislation delete personal data when no longer needed

same thing know that personal data includes metadata like geolocation data

or IP addresses remember the scandals around the NSA data that was leaked well

that was all about metadata and that can identify who a person is you have to get

consent and this goes beyond what we saw from can spam and from a casul

perspective along the same vein be very clear about privacy and your privacy

policy make that obvious make it clear for individuals really to understand

that know where personal data is this actually may be a little bit of a

challenge for organizations who aren't sure where all the personal data is that

they collect or even if they're collecting data on or about Europeans

conduct a threat risk assessment it's good documentation to have and frankly

it's really the only way to know if your security technologies and processes are

actually working demonstrate strong IT security predominantly gdpr is about

confidentiality of data in other words that that data hasn't been revealed to

people and about the integrity of that data as well in other words that the

data is correct the data hasn't been corrupted but gdpr does also mention

availability and what that means is that if you're collecting personal data you

have a platform that an individual is used to using and now that platform is

offline there could be consequences for that when we look at the fines related

to GDP are however most of those seem to be related to confidentiality and

integrity so we'll have to see how the of

availability peace plays out have an incident response plan that you should

just have anyway but seeing as you only have 72 hours to notify individuals of a

data breach there's no way you'll be able to do that if you don't have a plan

in place next point is to really just document every effort to be compliant

with gdpr write everything down there should be

one of the primary things that you do create a full or part-time Data

Protection Officer you appoint someone who is going to be a data protection

officer and this can be a part-time role depending on the company now it could be

a big deal depending on how much data you collect and this could be a

department of an organization but for a lot of organizations it will be a

part-time job for somebody set workflow to handle complaints and requests know

how websites and other partners handle personal data if they're not compliant

you're not compliant either I'm David said this is a cyber t report and a

special edition of thread actions this week you can catch that podcast on

YouTube iTunes and a number of other platforms thanks for listening and let

us know how we can help you

Martha MacCallum: North Korea expresses willingness to resolve issues with US - Duration: 14:12.

thank you very much but breaking tonight a new report just moments ago says North

Korea according to state media is saying that President Trump's decision to scrap

the summit is not in line with the world's wishes and that they are willing

to resolve the issues that is the latest after the summit was scuttled and North

Korea blamed in part comments made during our interview with the vice

president on Monday when kim jongwan through the south koreans reached out

and said that he would suspend his nuclear testing suspend his ballistic

testing and be willing to achieve complete denuclearization through talks

in exchange for a meeting with president Trump this president readily said yes

they asked for the meeting and we continue to be open to it I'm Martha

McCallum and this is the story it is clear that a sequence of events and

breakdown in the discussions over the recent days including that comment which

led the North Koreans to make disparaging remarks about the vice

president led to a decision agreed to by all of the top members of

the administration and ultimately decided by the president and expressed

in this strongly worded letter today dear mr. chairman it began it went on to

say we were informed that the meeting was requested by North Korea but that is

totally irrelevant the president then cites the tremendous anger and open

hostility of North Korea's recent statement as cause for the cancellation

North Korea also claims that it was put off by this comment as the president

made clear you know this this will only end like the Libyan model ended if Kim

jong-un doesn't make a deal some people saw that as a threat well I think it's

more of a fact president Trump made it clear in the United States of America

under his leadership is not going to tolerate the regime in North Korea

possessing nuclear weapons and ballistic missiles that threaten the United States

and our allies so now all of that lines up with prior statements from the

president from the Secretary of State from John Bolton and now here's Sean

Spicer what former White House press secretary and author of the upcoming

book the briefing Sean good to have you with us tonight you said a couple of

days ago I think this is going to happen so given the breaking news this evening

do you still stand by that well I first of all I'm a little concerned about the

interview now with you because apparently this is this is what's going

to help determine the outcome but I think that look the president's a master

negotiator he is the author of the art of the deal I don't know that we've seen

the end of this summit on June 12th but I think he's made it very clear that

unless Kim jong-un makes the appropriate concessions before the United States

sits down face to face with him there will be no meeting and I think that's a

entirely appropriate yeah the president recognizes that 90% of what Kim jong-un

wants is this face-to-face meeting he wants to be seen as a legitimate world

leader and the president won't give it to him unless he makes the appropriate

conceptions and denuclearize the Korean Peninsula but you know clearly there

were assurances given when you see the photographs with Mike Pompeo and Kim

Jong on right and then you also look at the you know very sort of friendly hop

skipping over the curb at the blue house in North Korea with the South Korean and

North Korean leader I mean it's pretty clear to the world that that Kim jong-un

wanted to move in the direction of this summit but the president keeps referring

back to the possibility that the second meeting with President Xi in China is

when things sort of started to fall apart and we're learning that that the

communication really started to break down several days ago your thoughts

well I think you're right that in the sense that you had three hostages

released to the United States and an act of good faith

you had an attempt to show the the Western media this this dismantling of a

nuclear site those were clearly done to show that president excuse me the

chairman Kim was taking the right steps but I think that he overestimated

president Trump's desire to have this meeting and president Trump was pretty

clear that until he saw additional concrete steps and concessions that

showed that North Korea was truly going to denuclearize the the peninsula he

wasn't Granum this meeting and that's that's the important part the United

States and President Crump by the way has made this clear since the beginning

where he has said you know if we get a deal great if we don't we won't and we

might still you know there's still an opportunity president Trump's kept all

the cards on the table he's made it very clear that there are conditions that are

gonna have to be met before he grants him this meeting and I think he's played

him perfectly yeah I mean and with regard to our interview what vice

president pence said to me in that interview lined up as I said with things

that President Trump had said prior to that that they wanted complete

denuclearization the president one point said that you know they didn't want the

Libya model which is complete denuclearization but I think he was

referring to what happened later to Muammar Qaddafi and that they were

giving essentially security to Kim Jong on that that isn't how he would end up I

just want to point out there's you know we're getting some brand new information

as we speak here Sean and a little bit more light being shed on their recent

statement tonight leader Kim jong-un had focused every effort on his meeting with

President Trump and they say that the president's decision today did not match

with the world's desire so it clearly appears that they're trying to reopen

this door before I get your comment on that I just want to play this because

that you know that the media had a field day today with the letter that came out

and the response you know basically suggesting that this had all blown up in

the president's face and here's what they said

the president was rehearsing his endzone dance and we weren't even at the 50-yard

line yet it's amazing to me that the administration is somehow shocked that

the North Koreans are acting as North Korea acts he must be having a giggle

fit right there now in North Korea the copy of the

president's letter chumming up there's kind of like a Valentine to kim

jeong-hoon really really really what do you think Shawn well really I don't

think we've seen the end of this I think President Trump understands how to

negotiate better than anybody in terms of because of his business background I

don't think that we've seen the end of this he did exactly what no one thought

he would do he told from the beginning if I can make this deal work great if

not I'll walk away he's already shown he can walk away now chairman Kim has to

come back to the table and I think we're gonna see additional

concessions my guess is that that there's a lot of chapters to be written

in this book because president Trump has shown that he can walk away from a bad

deal chairman Kim understands that until he

gets this meeting he continues to be seen as a third-rate dictator he needs

to be seen as an incredible leader and president Trump isn't gonna do anything

to grant him that until he exhibits a you know real concessions ahead of time

so I know that director Pompeo John Bolden and president Trump know exactly

what they're doing and I think that some of these Democrats that are coming out

are getting way too out in front of a story that hasn't seen the end yet what

about you didn't mention vice president Pence in in that group do you think he

stepped out of line at all in that interview

no and I apologized with all due respect to the vice president

that was that's my fault but I think that they that's a great team that

they're all part of they know what they're doing this is a long game and I

think that they all understand the stakes that are at hand and that they're

not going to grant North Korea a meeting a face-to-face meeting that that gives

the legitimacy until that they make the concessions necessary real concrete

things president Trump isn't done this Sean Spicer thank you good good to

see as always thanks Sean thanks Martha so president Trump's announcement of the

North Korea summit cancellation which came this morning via this letter it

came just hours after North Korea claimed to have destroyed their nuclear

site but is there more to the mountain that sunk at this nuclear site senior

foreign affairs correspondent Greg Powell cought live in Seoul South Korea

with more on this story that's a really important element of understanding all

of this great hi Martha yeah completely overshadowed by that cancellation of the

upcoming summit between President Trump and Kim jong-un which should have been

the banner story for Thursday that is the destruction the dismantling by North

Korea of the one nuclear test site that we know about in the northeastern part

of the country they had brought a small group of foreign journalists to observe

this they they blew up three tunnels portholes structure apparently the folks

that on the ground said it was very loud and very strong North Korea claimed at

the time that this was a goodwill gesture a transparent measure by the

regime to promote peace and stability in the region the hitches Martha they

didn't invite any international experts or analysts observers to to confirm

their claims when asked about whether they might do it in the future they said

well maybe but they wouldn't commit they even admitted that the main tunnel that

they blew up which has seen that five different nuclear tests couldn't be used

anymore in the futures of what was the point and then a few hours later Martha

the word came out via the reporters that were on the scene of the cancellation by

President Trump of that summit and apparently the officials the North

Korean regime officials were a little bit shocked I got to tell you from our

experience in North Korea and we have been there several times in the past the

regime is a very good at stage managing things not too good at ad-libbing things

because for example one time we were supposed to be watching a missile launch

they went right and then it wrong and the officials there were a

little bit lost as to how to handle it we will see now Martha how they're gonna

handle this this curveball from the White House on Thursday it is Friday

morning you at the top of your show were relaying the comments coming from the

state media at KCNA they they seen each coming back and saying they really want

to do it so I think as you said as Sean said we haven't seen the end of this by

any stretch it's an interesting country to deal with it is great thank you very

much here now with more Michael Mallos a North Korea analyst and author of dear

reader Michael good to have you with us tonight thank you what do you make of

this whole thing well the talks have been breaking down

for a few days now as you mentioned earlier the US Senate advanced team to

Singapore and it turned out that this North Korean counterparts were simply

refusing to tailor calls and to respond them so this is not president Trump

flying off the handle as he's being portrayed by people on the left this is

him responding to being blatantly disrespected and and not having any

communications at a certain point you have to negotiate and this is classic

negotiation you punish bad behavior you reward good behavior and if they're not

going to be returning our calls at a certain point he has to draw the line

all right so I mean what potentially would they agree to you've got the Libya

model on one hand which is a complete denuclearization which obviously

rankles them that idea then you've got the Iran deal model right where you see

sort of an overtime and some agreements but not an agreement to get rid of

everything what are we gonna get whoa anything the more the term Libya models

use those scarier it's going to be for them because if you look what happened

to Qaddafi and how he personally was murdered in the most horrific way this

is something that is a great concern to the Kim family it has been for decades

Kim jong-il used to show this execution of Romanian dictator Ceausescu to all

the party cadres daily the video and says this is what will happen to you if

the government falls down so they're acutely aware of what happens when these

totalitarian dictatorships collapse and the difference between Iran and Libya is

there's a partner country here China so there's no China visa the Iran but there

certainly is a China Beasley North Korea and we have to be concerned with what

China wants and what China would allow do you do you agree with the president

who has a couple of times now said that that second meeting that Kim Jong un

went to have with President Xi something happened there is that why

those channels shut down it's the China certainly has a very

part to play in all this and we don't know what's going on here and frankly I

don't think we should know what's going on here because so much of this is about

allowing kim jongmin to save face if only to force him to do the right thing

wouldn't China want the genial Croatian of North Korea to yes but they also

wouldn't want us to escalate to a total liberalisation of North Korea and

possible societal collapse we're giving them 25 million refugees crossing the

river who don't speak Chinese and don't know how to use a computer that's the

nightmare scenario for China all right what about really quick what about the

mountain that collapsed several months ago is what they blew up today was it

even usable probably not and there are reports of being that this radiation

coming out from all this other stuff and you know in there they do not let just

like rahm emanuel said they don't let a good crisis go to waste

so if something's going to be you know destroyed they might as well say hey

we're doing this because we're the good guys out of the magnet nummy of our

hearts interesting as always Michael thank you very much good to see you

tonight

you

SYRIAN PRESIDENT ASSAD SAYS "THE DEEP STATE" IS IN CONTROL OF AMERICA - Duration: 3:13.

SYRIAN PRESIDENT ASSAD SAYS �THE DEEP STATE� IS IN CONTROL OF AMERICA, NOT TRUMP

BY JOE MARTINO

In an exclusive interview with Greek newspaper The Kathimerini, Bashar Al Assad has stated

that the true people in control of the United States President are the deep state.

A truth widely talked about in alternative news but silenced in elite owned mainstream

media, the reality of the deep state, not only in America but the world in general,

is one that must make its way into mass consciousness if we want to begin to see real change.

��A further reason is that we don�t think the president of that regime is in control.

We all believe that the deep state, the real state, is in control, or is in control of

every president, and that is nothing new.

It has always been so in the United States, at least during the last 40 years, at least

since Nixon, maybe before, but it�s becoming starker and starker, and the starkest case

is Trump.� Assad said to The Kathimerini

The interview raised questions about the alleged recent chemical attacks in Syria.

We had reported that the reason for this false narrative going around the western media was

to gain the manufactured consent from the people to approve of an attack on Syria in

an attempt to destabilize it.

Assad further discusses this in the interview when he stated; �When the terrorists lost,

the US, France, the UK and their other allies who want to destabilize Syria lost one of

their main cards, and that�s why they had to attack the Syrian Army, just to raise the

morale of the terrorists and to prevent the Syrian Army from liberating more areas in

Syria.�

Of course who funds and supports these terrorists?

The very countries allied together who joined for the Syrian attack; US, France, the UK.

We can see quite clearly that it�s simply the Western media trying to again convince

the public there is an enemy out there and we must do something about it.

Of course they never provide real evidence of this.

Just like with 9/11.

So What Do We Do?

At the end of the day what do we do with this information?

We opt our consciousness OUT of the old world.

Often times we want to come up with some physical solution to stop this, when in reality the

majority of it starts within.

If we can shift collective consciousness in a way that begins to face these truths head

on and stops us from turning a blind eye to what is truly going on, we will begin to see

the world differently.

Further, we then have the opportunity to opt out of supporting the world as it is today.

The more of us that do that, the more we open the door for more people to do the same, and

thus a shift occurs in the physical world.

The US Federal Court System: What Even ARE the Courts? - Duration: 7:08.

[♪INTRO]

If you're an engaged citizen of the US, or, god forbid, you get push notifications

of the news on your phone, you hear a lot about what our president is doing, or what

Congress isn't doing, every day, all the time.

But if that's how you're staying informed about how our government works and what that

means for you, you're only getting two thirds of the story.

I wanna talk about the federal court system—the part of out of government that figures out

how our laws apply to our real lives.

Except... what even are the courts?

How do they fall into the big picture of US government, and how did it get this way?

[♪MUSIC]

To start our journey of knowing the things we should know, let's go back to basics.

In the US we have three branches of government.

The legislative branch, or Congress, comes up with laws, the executive branch, the president,

gets to sign or veto those laws, and the judicial branch, our federal court system, interprets

what the laws actually mean.

This all comes from the Constitution – another pretty major thing that the court

is tasked with interpreting – where our founding fathers decided that there needed

to be a separation of powers because they didn't want the US to feel like

the monarchy they had just fought so hard to leave.

The idea was that if any branch tried to take a little too much power, the other branches

could be like, "Hey, that's our job.

Get back in your lane."

So Article I lays out the powers and responsibilities of Congress, Article II talks about what the

president can and can't do, and Article III says that "The Judicial Power of the

United States, shall be vested in one supreme Court, and in such inferior Courts as the

Congress may from time to time ordain and establish."

Basically: we're gonna have one, big, powerful court.

And probably other courts, but we'll figure that out later.

It's the shortest, and kinda the fuzziest description of powers of all the branches

of government.

It left out all the details about who sits on the courts, and how many courts there should

even be, leaving all of that up to Congress to decide.

And like most of the American experiment, we've been making it up as we go along.

In the first ever session of Congress, lawmakers passed the Judiciary Act of 1789 which spelled

out how the whole federal court system would work.

Remember that ordaining and establishing part?

Congress figured out that one Supreme Court might not be enough for, y'know, a whole

nation, so they decided there should be three levels of federal courts, with the Supreme

Court being the highest.

That's how we got district courts.

These are the lowest level of the federal court system where trials about federal law

actually happen with one judge, a jury, witnesses, the whole deal.

There were originally 13 district courts—one for every state at the time with an extra

court in both Virginia and Massachusetts because they had bigger populations.

But now we have a lot more states, and a LOT more cases, so there are a total of 94 districts today.

If you go to district court and you don't agree with the result of that trial, you can appeal

it to the next court up, which, helpfully, is called the United States Court of Appeals.

I love it when the names make sense.

These are the 13 courts, each serving a different region, or circuit, of the US, where you can

ask higher, more powerful judges to reverse the decisions of the district court.

Appealing is kind of like asking the district court if you can, like, borrow their car and they

say no, so you go ask your other parent... the appellate court instead.

In the Court of Appeals, a panel of three judges from the region reviews your case,

and they can decide to either uphold or overturn the district court's decision.

Sidenote on the Court of Appeals—you may have also heard it called the circuit court,

and there's a reason for that.

In the original court system from 1789, the Supreme Court justices "rode circuit,"

traveling around from district to district to hear trials in lower courts, which was

kind of a lot of work because planes weren't a thing.

The Supreme Court justices were like hey, Congress, we're doing a lot of traveling

here, and we're tired, and also it's dangerous?

Like, riding the circuit court trail sounds like a really cool idea until one of your

6 judges dies of dysentery.

So in 1891 they got rid of the traveling, and took away their responsibility to hear

appeals by creating a new court above the circuit court—yep, it's the Court of Appeals again.

And in the Judicial Code of 1911, Congress moved their trials down to the district courts

and got rid of circuit courts all together.

If you go to District Court, and then appeal that decision, and then the Court of Appeals

upholds it, and you want to appeal that decision, you've got to go all the way to the Supreme

Court—the final boss of the federal court system.

The Judiciary act of 1789 gave the Supreme Court 6 justices.

Yeah, only six, we added more later.

It also decided that the Supreme Court had the ability to hear cases before any of the other

courts, known as original jurisdiction, if those cases didn't fit in the lower courts,

usually when a case was a dispute between two states.

But their most important function, and the majority of what the Supreme Court did, and

still does, is hear appeals.

When the court was first created, they were required to issue decisions on all appeals

from lower courts, but that was a lot of cases that they had to review—whether they thought

it deserved a review or not.

So, nearly 100 years after the Supreme Court was created, Congress came up with certiorari—a

system to decide which cases the court will review, otherwise they might still be hearing

cases about whether tomatoes are a fruit or a vegetable.

Yes. that was a real Supreme Court case.

Once the appellate court issues a decision, either party to that case can petition for

a writ of certiorari, or a writ of cert, asking the supreme court to review their case and telling them why

they think it deserves review.

The court gets nearly 10,000 of these petitions a year and only accepts about 100 of them.

What are some of the reasons that a justice might want to review a case?

Sometimes it's because they think the decision of a lower court—or the way they applied

the law—is something that could impact the entire country, so they want to consider it

carefully, think about all of the intended and unintended effects that application could

have, and try to get it absolutely right.

Other times they'll review a case because the appellate courts in different regions

of the country have been deciding on similar cases in different ways—so the Supreme Court

needs to step in and decide how to apply the federal law in the same way across the entire country.

But no matter why the Supreme Court takes up the case, it's a big deal.

By the time a case gets to them, it's already touched tons of smart people in the

court system, who have spent a lot of time thinking about the case, and the laws it deals

with, and what those laws should mean today.

And once those judges decide, the way they interpret those laws affects what they will

mean in the future.

Who are those judges, by the way?

And how did they get there?

We're going to talk about all the people who decide who can become a judge, which is

important because—you're probably one of them.

Stay tuned to learn exactly how the court system affects you, and how you can affect

the court system.

N. Korea still willing to hold summit with U.S. - Duration: 2:01.

So how did North Korea react to this news?

North Korea's vice foreign minister has released a statement on the situation just hours after

Mr. Trump called off the meeting.

It was an unusually gentle written statement.... that indicated North Korea is still willing

to sit down with the U.S. for talks.

Oh Jung-hee has this story.

Using very polished and polite diplomatic rhetoric, North Korea urged the United States

to give more thought to canceling their June 12th summit.

North Korea's Vice Foreign Minister Kim Kye-gwan released a statement early Friday morning

-- roughly eight hours after the announcement from Washington.

He said the North wants to give the U.S. more time and opportunity -- meaning, Pyongyang

is still willing to sit down with Washington for summit talks.

Regarding President Trump citing the North's fury and hostility for calling off the summit,

Pyongyang claimed... that was only because Washington pressed North Korea over unilateral

denuclearization.

It added... the current situation -- which shows a very deep rift between the two sides

-- rather means the summit talks are urgently needed.

North Korea did express regret over Trump's decision,... but at the same time appealed...

that the regime has been highly anticipating the summit as well as what the White House

has suggested as a 'Trump model.'

It added the regime appreciates President Trump for making a decision that no other

American president has... and has been hoping the summit marks a beginning to improving

their relations.

The statement also said...

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has been pouring his efforts into summit preparations.

The North stressed... that both sides can't be perfectly satisfied at their first attempt,

but if they solve their issues one-by-one, their relations will only get better, not

worse.

Pyongyang concluded its statement by saying it's willing to sit down face-to-face with

Washington at any time with any format to work through their issues.

THE US GOVERNMENT JUST ADMITTED TO RECOVERING MATERIALS FROM UFOS - Duration: 13:13.

THE US GOVERNMENT JUST ADMITTED TO RECOVERING MATERIALS FROM UFOS � HERE ARE THE LATEST

UPDATES

BY ARJUN WALIA

�Decades ago, visitors from other planets warned us about where we were headed and offered

to help.

But instead, we, or at least some of us, interpreted their visits as a threat, and decided to shoot

first and ask questions after.�

The quote above comes from Paul Hellyer, former Canadian defence minister.

First off, the fact that the official disclosure of Unidentified Flying Objects has happened

is huge, and those who are avid researchers of the phenomenon saw this one coming.

For years, we�ve experienced, as I�ve said many times before, an �official campaign

of ridicule and secrecy� (Ex-CIA Director Roscoe Hillenkoetter) of the phenomenon.

The establishment, in many ways, was responsible for the foolish articles that would constantly

appear in mainstream media publications, absolutely ridiculing a topic that was and is actually

quite real.

Today, we�ve seen a complete 180 degree switch.

UFOs are no longer ridiculed by the mainstream, which should raise a serious eyebrows because

very seldom does mainstream media share any sort of truth, especially when we�re talking

about projects that rank among the most secretive in the world.

You can read more about Black Budget programs, here.

Unfortunately, most of our media is controlled by a very small group of people, and declassified

documents alongside whistle-blower testimony has made this very clear.

Intelligence agencies have close relationships with �every major wire service, newspaper,

news weekly, and television network in the nation, this has helped us turn some �intelligence

failure� stories into �intelligence success� stories.� and has contributed to the accuracy

of countless others.� This comes straight from a CIA document.

Dr. Udo Ulfkotte, Sharyl Attkisson, Amber Lyon and many others have also provided many

examples of what it�s like to work inside a media organization that�s dominated by

government/corporate/deep state interests.

You can read more about them and what they had to say, here.

This is exactly why mainstream UFO disclosure is questionable, and there appears to be multiple

things happening here.

One is the fact that the phenomenon was so obvious for anybody who looked into it, from

a research perspective.

There was and has been more than ample evidence to show that the UFOs were and are real, that

there are �objects in our atmosphere which are technically miles in advance of anything

we can deploy.� (Lord Admiral Hill Norton, Former Chairman of the NATO Military Committee)

The statement below fromVictor Marchetti, former special assistant to the Deputy Director

of the Central Intelligence Agency, doesn�t seem to hold so true anymore, at least the

last part.

�We have, indeed, been contacted � perhaps even visited � by extraterrestrial beings,

and the US government, in collusion with the other national powers of the Earth, is determined

to keep this information from the general public.�

(Second Look, Volume 1, No 7, Washington, DC, May, 1979)

If you want to get into the extraterrestrial hypothesis, you can read the article linked

below:

�It�s official � We Now Know That UFOs or UAP Are Real � So Are They Extraterrestrial

or Not?�

One of the biggest mouthpieces for �the establishment,� The New York Times, admitted

something that the establishment, or facets of it, have been concealing for years; UFOs

are real.

The Times broke the story about a secret Pentagon program, but any UFO researcher knows these

programs are more in-depth, expensive, and expansive than anything that�s described

here.

According to the Times,

�In the $600 billion annual Defense Department budgets, the $22 million spent on the Advanced

Aerospace Threat Identification Program was almost impossible to find.

Which was how the Pentagon wanted it.

For years, the program investigated reports of unidentified flying objects, according

to Defense Department officials, interviews with program participants and records obtained

by The New York Times.

It was run by a military intelligence official, Luis Elizondo, on the fifth floor of the Pentagon�s

C Ring, deep within the building�s maze.

The Defense Department has never before acknowledged the existence of the program, which it says

it shut down in 2012.

But its backers say that, while the Pentagon ended funding for the effort at that time,

the program remains in existence.

For the past five years, they say, officials with the program have continued to investigate

episodes brought to them by service members, while also carrying out their other Defense

Department duties.� (source)

But..

What�s Missing From Mainstream UFO Disclosure One interesting thing to note here, is the

sharing of information and truth in order to lie.

For example, the MK Ultra program, a CIA based mind-control program is a great example.

This is because the evidence became so obvious that the U.S. government had no choice but

to disclose the reality of it.

Although they clearly did not share all, the public thought they did.

The program had been declassified and thus, all of the questions and inquiries into the

program stopped because apparently, the government released everything there is to know.

This is what we could be seeing with the UFO program.

Prior to this disclosure, dozens of other governments had already done so themselves,

and the field is loaded with a ton of credible witness testimony as well as various documents

released via The Freedom of Information Act.

Now that the Pentagon has admitted to this program, does that mean the existence of UFOs

has been disclosed, and that�s all there is to it?

Are we seeing a clever way of releasing information, in order to conceal more important information,

or is this really a slow disclosure initiative by the U.S. government?

And if it is, why are they doing it?

�Why is the mainstream covering this story the way they are?

I have been saying for years that the mainstream media, the establishment media, will never

cover the UFO subject in a serious way, that is, until they would be absolutely pushed

to the wall and then do something�So the question is, what is going on here?�If they�re

the voice of the establishment (mainstream media), then why have the establishment elected

to put this story out?

�

The quote above comes from historian Richard Dolan, he�s one of the most prominent thinkers

of our time.

He�s also one of the world�s leading researchers on the topic of UFO�s.

Richard goes on to explain, in the lecture linked below, that this is simply a tidbit

of truth that�s been made to look like the complete truth.

It brings up a number of key things that have been ignored by mainstream media regarding

the recent UFO disclosure, which is being addressed through the To The Stars Academy.

�The best way to keep a secret is you pretend to share it, you give some information out,

some genuine information, which they did, there were some significant revelations here,

significant admissions, and much that was not followed up�� � Dolan

He then outlines what�s missing here.

This is such an important point, that there has been no follow up regarding the alleged

possession of the materials that have been recovered from this object.

�Yes there have been crashed craft, and bodies recovered.

. . . We are not alone in the universe, they have been coming here for a long time.

I happen to be privileged enough to be in on the fact that we have been visited on this

planet, and the UFO phenomenon is real.� � Apollo 14 Astronaut Dr. Edgar Mitchell

The head of this program was Luis Elizondo, a career intelligence officer, his experience

includes working in the U.S. Army, the Department of Defense, and the National Counterintelligence

Executive, he also spent time as the Director of National Intelligence.

Furthermore, he�s also managed the security for several sensitive projects for the U.S.

government as the Director for the National Programs Special Management Staff.

For the last 10 years of his career, Elizondo �ran a sensitive aerospace threat identification

program focusing on unidentified aerial technologies.� Where he learned that the the phenomenon is

indeed real.

He is big on the fact that there is enough evidence to suggest that �we�re not alone,�

and he�s also mentioned that materials from these objects have indeed been collected and

studied.

This is huge.

This was mentioned in the New York Times article above, that materials have indeed been recovered

from the craft, but Elizondo gave an exclusive interview to the organizers of the UFO Congress,

the world�s biggest UFO conference, and took place in Phoenix, Arizona, which painted

a different story�.

Alejandro Rojas, host of the UFO Congress said Mr. Elizondo had told him more about

the metal during the exclusive interviews that were screened at the event.

Mr Rojas said: �I can tell you it is not an alloy like the New York Times claims.�

As Scientific American points out:

�One of the authors of the Times report, Ralph Blumenthal, had this to say on MSNBC

about the alloys: �They have, as we reported in the paper, some material from these objects

that is being studied so that scientists can find what accounts for their amazing properties,

this technology of these objects, whatever they are.� When asked what the materials

were, Blumenthal responded, �They don�t know.

They�re studying it, but it�s some kind of compound that they don�t recognize.��

According to Rojas: �I shared at our conference that Elizondo has told me it is a �meta-material�

with strange isotopic values indicating it is not from Earth.�

This is quite significant, we�ve been given the narrative that it�s not really known

where these objects are, and figures like Neil deGrasse Tyson went on national television

trying to ridicule the extraterrestrial hypothesis.

�I�m not aware of any effort within the established media to follow up on this (pieces

of the UFOs) and to find out�where this comes from�I mean nothing�So, it�s five

months later, and we�re clearly not dealing with a serious effort by the mainstream media,

for that reason alone�I have had information now, from a very good source, that, what they�ve

recovered aren�t metal alloys, that they�re being described as meta-materials�a very

different thing�.The individual that I spoke with, about where did that phrase metal alloy

come, did it come Luis Elizondo I was told no it did not come from him.��

� Richard Dolan

The New York times article also mentions that these materials were shipped off to Bigelow

aerospace for examination, which is interesting because in a recent interview with 60 minutes,

Robert Bigelow, founder of the Bigelow Aerospace corporation, stated that he is aware of an

intelligent extraterrestrial presence visiting the planet.

You can watch that interview here.

This means that it came from one of the authors of the New York Times Article, an editor,

or an intelligence agency.

Dolan refers to this aspect of the article as, �intentionally deceptive.�

Another interesting thing is that Elizondo has mentioned multiple times that these encounters

have occurred hundreds of times and there have been extremely phenomenal encounters

that never really seemed to grab the attention of his higher ups, which is also odd.

A lot of these encounters have been documented, well before this disclosure.

There is a lot to discuss about this topic, and what�s going on here.

The talk below is interesting to say the least and if you�ve made it this far, I recommend

you give the whole thing a listen.

This topic is very significant, especially from a consciousness perspective.

It leaves no aspect of humanity untouched, and we just completed a very interesting podcast

with Richard Lawrence, Secretary of The Aetherius Society in Europe, discussing these implications.

US Supreme Court Ruling Strips Away The Rights Of Workers - Duration: 5:49.

On Monday as we reported, the Supreme Court made a decision that will impact employee

rights to class action lawsuits.

Does this mean that employees can no longer ever band together in court?

There's no better person to ask than America's lawyer, mighty Mike Papantonio.

Counselor, thank you so much for joining us, we really appreciate it.

What does this mean for companies, but as important, or more important in fact, what

does it mean for employees, Mike?

Well, first, arbitration, which millions of Americans have already agreed to by signing

arbitration clauses in contracts takes away the right of these employees to sue corporations

when they lie, cheat, and steal.

There are arbitration clauses in your credit card contracts, you name it, but here this

is very specific, because you have these companies that are stealing money from these employees.

The level of theft is amazing.

The way they steal money is they don't pay for things like taking ... on their break,

they're ordered to go back to work without being paid.

There are all kinds of scams that they use.

As a matter of fact, we handled one of the biggest cases in the country against Walmart,

where they had a whole series of scams where they were just taking $10 here, $20 there.

What ends up happening is this; an employee who has a loss of maybe $10,000, that employee,

according to what this ruling is by the Supreme Court, can't bring a case in a class action.

Let's say they lost $10,000.

Let's say they lost $2,000.

How do they hire a lawyer?

How does the lawyer handle that one case?

The class action enabled all of these employees to go after these thugs, these corporate thugs,

and get their money back through a class action settlement, or a class action trial.

Here, this Supreme Court clearly understands that most of the theft that takes place with

employees is in little cuts.

They find that employee is unwilling to bring a case unless they can join into a class.

They're unwilling to bring case by case, A, because they can't afford it, B, most lawyers

won't take a case like that, and C, they get targeted by bringing a case like that.

This is actually something that businesses build into their business plan.

We saw that with Walmart.

Walmart calculated that they could get away with stealing $10 million each quarter by

taking a little bit here and a little bit there, and in the end, they could keep the

$10 million, because if people could not bring a class action, like we were able to do in

that case, if they can't bring a class action, then there's no way for an employee to actually

recover.

This is of the same Supreme Court, the same business-oriented, corporate Supreme Court

who every time they get an issue like this will always, always rule against consumers.

Mike, it seems to me that workers really don't have a choice, too.

You want a job, you sign the employment papers, et cetera, and so the only folks that will

be able to take a big company to court will be the wealthy folks, and those aren't the

people working at Walmart.

My guess is, and we'll have to see what happens ... I don't want to get too much into the

politics here, but among the reaction that I've heard, there are some critics calling

for a legislation to effectively overturn or blunt the ruling, and that seems like a

dead letter under the current Congress and the White House.

As a purely legal matter, can legislation restore these rights?

Yes, yes it can, and it won't.

I can put it like that.

It can absolutely do this, but it won't.

They've been asked to do this on several occasions in other issues where consumers were hammered,

workers in particular, were hammered by corporate conduct like this, and they've passed on it

virtually every time.

So yeah, it can happen, legislation can solve the problem, but it's got to be solved through

the courts.

Right now, you have a Supreme Court that is so oriented towards businesses' interest,

that there's no way to turn them around.

One more question on the legal nuts and bolts, Mike.

Justice Ginsburg chose to read her dissent, which was a pretty ... impassioned from the

bench, and called it, "Egregiously wrong."

Who's right?

Ginsburg citing the National Labor Relations Act, or Chief Justice Gorsuch citing a Federal

Arbitration Act of 1925?

Settle this for us.

Ginsburg is right all day long.

That's what the case law shows, that's what the precedent shows.

This is a Supreme Court majority that had to go out of precedent, had to go out of trend,

had to go out of just common sense on what benefits the worker to reach a decision like

this.

That's why Ginsburg was so outraged.

They realized that in arbitration, the worker loses, loses 90% of the time, 90% of the time

is the statistic-

Holy cow.

... in an arbitration setting.

We've still got about 60 seconds, Mike.

In the technology space, it seems that companies have been requiring binding arbitration like

we've talked about with Walmart and others, but Microsoft notably said they are going

to stop enforcing arbitration agreements in sexual harassment cases, and Uber last week

just did the same thing.

You may think it a silly question of me, Mike, but I mean, do you think some companies will

look at this as a good that they will do to entice employees, or will they take a heck

of a lot of comfort in the Supreme Court decision and say, "Hey, we're not going to do anything?"

This is like ... they should have a parade.

Corporate Americans should have a parade right through the middle of DC, because none of

them are going to do anything to interfere with this on behalf of workers.

Promise you.

If it does, please have me back on the show and I can say, "I was wrong."

That parade goes on here every day, we just don't happen to se it because they're in black

cars with shaded windows.

America's lawyer, mighty Mike Papantonio.

Thank you so much for being with us Mike, appreciate it.

US Forces Complicit in Murder of Banana Farmers in Somalia - Duration: 12:39.

It's the Real News Network.

I'm Sharmini Peries, coming to you from Baltimore.

U.S. soldiers are said to have participated in, and perhaps even perpetrated, the killing

of five Somali civilians during a Special Forces raid earlier this month.

According to the Guardian, U.S. Special Forces reported the presence of al Shabaab militants

in a banana plantation.

Five people were found dead on the scene, but no weapons were found.

And the five dead were later identified as banana farmers who were trying to escape the

gunfire.

Forensics determined that the five were killed by the same type of firearm, and the U.S.

Defense Department spokesperson recently confirmed that U.S. Special Forces were involved in

the raid on May 9, and that there were civilians who were killed.

The Head of Special Operations Command Africa has now suspended a regional commander and

enlisted adviser over the alleged misconduct and sent them both back to the United States.

The U.S. has about 1000 special operations personnel in Africa.

Those in East Africa largely assist in countering the Somalia-based al Shabaab extremist group.

Civilian casualties in Somalia have increased recently, just as U.S. military activity in

the country has also been increasing under the Trump administration, according to an

investigation done by the Guardian.

Joining me now to take a closer look at these recent developments and U.S. involvement in

Somalia is Bill Fletcher, Jr. Bill is the co-founder of the Center for Labor Renewal,

and a columnist and a longtime activist.

I thank you so much for joining us, Bill.

My pleasure, Sharmini.

Bill, what can you tell us about the incident beyond what was just published in a few media

outlets?

The Guardian obviously looked into this more.

But what do we know about the incident, and the issues surrounding why the U.S. is there

killing civilians?

Well, this doesn't come as a surprise for a number of reasons.

But the most important being the United States has been actively engaged in Somalia since

the George Bush administration.

George W. Bush.

And the the United States, when the dictatorship of Siad Barre collapsed, to a great extent

pulled out of Somalia, and allowed Somalia to Balkanize.

George W. Bush, however, decided to take a different path, and encouraged the invasion

of Somalia by Ethiopian troops in 2004.

And this was aimed at destroying a project that was underway that had actually stabilized

parts of Somalia, and it was the Union of Islamic Courts.

The military wing of the Union of Islamic Courts was al Shabaab.

The youth.

And when the Ethiopians succeeded in destroying the Islamic Courts, the al Shabaab took up

guerrilla warfare against the the Ethiopians.

Over time, al Shabaab constructed an alliance with al Qaeda.

And I want to emphasize that point, that when the Ethiopian troops entered into Somalia,

this was a Somalia internal situation that al Qaeda was not engaged in.

But over time a relationship developed, and this guerrilla war, terrorist war, unfolded.

The United States got further involved even after the Ethiopian troops pulled out, and

a lot of its involvement has been through drone strikes.

Now, the African Union ultimately was called upon to try to help end the conflict.

And the African Union's military forces come from a number of African countries, including

Kenya and Burundi, and they're getting various kinds of logistical support from the United

States.

And as you pointed out, there's U.S. advisers that are there.

The objective of the African Union mission, however, is supposed to be to stabilize the

situation and to help to rebuild the nation.

The piece that's missing, and it's been missing from the U.S. involvement, certainly, is any

attempt at some sort of internal reconciliation with those around al Shabaab.

So once again, the United States approach to this is, much like in Afghanistan, avoiding

political solutions and political [discussions], and assuming that the situation can be resolved

simply through force of arms.

And I think that that remains a very big mistake, and it would be a mistake even if this tragedy

had not happened.

And Bill, when you say those around al Shabaab, who do you exactly mean here?

I meant their base.

The thing about-.

What the Union of Islamic Courts did was it broke the stranglehold of the warlords.

So people started looking to the Union of Islamic Courts, whether they agreed with their

particular theology or not, but they looked at them as a stabilizing force.

And al Shabaab inherited some of that.

But Al Shabaab is playing on a mixture of nationalism and right-wing Islamism.

The nationalism is, you could almost call it pan-Somali nationalism.

So they're looking at the Somalis that are in that region, including-.

And especially what's important is northern Kenya.

And so they're looking at that, and they're also relying on their peculiar and particular

form of theology as an ideological base.

So when I'm talking about their base I'm talking about those that are looking for sort of a

pan-Somali solution, and are looking for a level of stabilization and the withdrawal

of foreign forces.

All right.

Now, tell us a little bit more about al Shabaab and their alliance with Al-Qaeda and ISIS.

Well, it's interesting.

They're not aligned with Daesh, with ISIS.

But what happened is that Daesh, about two years ago if memory serves me, decided that

they were going to try to enter into Somalia.

And al Shabaab warned people that they would be taken out if they align with Daesh.

So there is some sort of alliance with al Qaeda.

Now, these alliances, it's sort of like the al Qaeda in the Maghreb, in what's now Mali

and in Algeria.

These are loose arrangements by very autonomous organizations that are at least allegedly

swearing allegiance to the overall project of al Qaeda.

There's no particular indication that I've ever seen that there's high-level coordination.

Al Shabaab is a movement that is of Somalia, and it is a movement that is a political force.

One does not have to like Al Shabaab to know that some sort of arrangement will have to

be arrived at at some juncture in order to stabilize the situation.

Because every time it feels like Somalia is getting close to stability, and there have

been some efforts, if al Shabaab feels threatened, a bomb goes off.

There's an assassination, or whatever.

So the situation remains highly unstable, and with the presence of foreign troops, although

they are supposed to be drawn down, but with the presence of foreign troops, that gives

al Shabaab another banner to fly under.

Right.

Now, under President Trump, as I said off the top, under Trump troops in the region

and in Somalia in particular has increased.

Now, besides providing the necessary protection for the people of Somalia, which, you know,

could be a constructive role.

But what can the U.S. do, actually do to facilitate, perhaps, a dialogue, a discussion, which is

the only way out of this mess?

That's a difficult question to answer because of who the president of the United States

is.

So if you would ask me abstractly, what could the United States do?

I would say, and I don't mean that in a critical way.

I would say that what the United States could do is to cease its drone strikes and otherwise

other air strikes, it could stop that immediately.

And that what it would need to do would be to put into place a reconciliation team, or

to support a reconciliation team from the A.U. that was reaching out to those in al

Qaeda, or excuse me, in al Shabaab, that are prepared to engage in discussions.

That's what I would say.

The problem is that with Trump as the president, his-.

First of all, he doesn't understand the region.

He doesn't understand foreign policy.

But he certainly doesn't understand the region.

And his impulse, and now with Dr. Strangelove working there, otherwise known as Bolton,

we have again an overreliance on the military option as the solution, as opposed to attempting

to establish talks.

I mean, if I were advising a president I would say you need a special ambassador to spend

time with the A.U., and working on a reconciliation process.

A disarmament and reconciliation process.

I would say it's not going to be easy.

There would be a high level of suspicion.

But there would need to be guarantees that there would not be retaliation on either side.

All right.

It seems like it will also be a long process to get there.

All right.

All right.

I thank you so much for joining us today, Bill.

My pleasure.

And this is obviously an ongoing discussion.

We don't get to focus on countries like Somalia very often with the absence of the Global

African here on the Real News.

So I thank you so much, and we welcome you back.

My pleasure.

Always.

And thank you for joining us here on the Real News Network.

The Intelligence Report: Trump says US is talking to NOKO - Duration: 11:54.

by presidents from signaling today that a summit with kim jong on next month

still might be possible after North Korea says it's willing to sit down with

the US and resolve any issues so maybe this is where the plans after all maybe

the president actually was trying to negotiate here was this some kind of art

of the deal well liberal media doesn't think so coming up you gotta hear how

the left is reacting to all the North Korean news my intel on why it's time

the left to realize president Trump's success is America's success in other

words we are in all of this together a mirror American before a political

speaking of the left one California Democrat says President Trump is firing

up his base with this whole talk of spy gates and he's peddling a deep state

narrative by claiming that there was an FBI informant planted in the Trump

campaign in 2016 I would only point out James Comey of course didn't do his

actual job and the FBI totally completely utterly failed us but though

we're going to talk about it a little bit with congressman Garamendi you know

and debated coming up straight ahead but first let's go to Blake blame it blake

berman he's at the white house for a little bit more on this north korea's

summit and whether or not it can happen after all like hi there trish yes it's

the white house taking a wait-and-see approach at this point I almost laughed

not that I'm laughing but because it's Friday now the fifth day of the workweek

and it feels like we've had five different time lines on this already

this week yesterday as you know President Trump announced that he was

pulling out of the meeting but here we are some twenty four hours later and it

appears as if it might potentially at least have the possibility of being back

on and that's because of the response from the North Koreans overnight the

Trump administration said yesterday that the ball was very clearly back in the

court of North Korea and North Korea responded to the president yesterday by

saying that they would still be willing to sit down and speak with the United

States before the president left the White House here earlier this morning to

address the recent graduates at the u.s. Naval Academy

the president suggested that there is a possibility of this June 12th meeting

maybe even happening let me see what happens we're talking to them now it was

a very nice statement they put up we'll see what happened we'll see what happens

it could even be the 12th we're talking to them now they very much want to do it

we'd like to do it we're gonna see what happens now just after that the defense

secretary James maddest except the diplomatic Avenue might still be open

possibly some good news and the Korea summit or at may my diplomats can pull

it off and they have it back on even president just sent out a note about

that a few moments ago and let you all know you heard the president there Trish

say that we are communicating with them now communicating with the North Koreans

the communication aspect to this is incredibly important remember yesterday

a senior White House official said one of the reasons that the president

decided to pull out of this was because an advanced team was in Singapore was

supposed to meet with the North Koreans to go over logistics the North Koreans

never showed up in fact the White House says quote they stood us up now that it

appears the communication lines might be back open again the White House at least

at this hour is reluctant to say whether or not it's advanced team which was

scheduled to go to Singapore again this weekend might be going back or not

Sarah Sanders telling us about an hour or so ago there's still a few hours left

until they might have to jump on that plane trust me all right like Berman

thank you very much you know the mainstream media and many politicians on

the Left have been trying to seize the moment here sort of celebrating that the

June 12th North Korea summit had been cancelled by our president watch them

here it goes that Nobel Peace Prize he was the art of diplomacy is a lot harder

than the art of the deal when he got this letter from the president saying

okay never mind he must be having a giggle fit right there now and North

Korea the president I was rehearsing his endzone dance and

we weren't even at the 50-yard line yet on this summer this is a total breakup

letter and you realize like this is when your relationships are showering but you

want to be the one to break up first so you cut it off you're kind of like maybe

we can leave it open-ended that's what this feels like breakup letter is there

even such a thing nowadays wouldn't be like a breakup text anyway um you can

see that they are almost rejoicing in this and what troubles me is that you I

get that he's not everyone's cup of tea you've heard me say that before I mean

this president is not for everyone and he's got a personality type that does

alienate some and I understand that there are two sides in Washington the

left and the right but you know what when it comes to making sure that we

ensure peace in the world and that we make sure that the North Koreans don't

have the ability to inflict enormous pain and suffering on millions of people

via a nuclear weapon that seems to me one where we should all be united and we

should all hope for the best and we shouldn't be saying oh he shouldn't have

this summit we should say good let's have a dialogue let's fix this and we

also shouldn't be saying see told you something told you so told you so no we

should be saying again let's fix this we are American before we are anything else

joining me right now Republican congressman from New York Tom Reid

congressman this is what's troubling right now and frankly I mean this is not

putting the country first to me you know you forget about some of your

differences when you're dealing with an international conflict such as the one

we're dealing with with North Korea and you celebrate an opportunity to bring

peace to the world and yet we are so broken right now in this country that

the likes of Nancy Pelosi and her colleagues are saying huh I told you so

you have the media saying I told you so in almost rejoicing

in this summit now not happening what does that tell you yes I couldn't say it

any better than you just did but the other message that's being sent here is

I think it's from our president to North Korea saying he's not going to worry

about political gamemanship he's not gonna worry about winning a Nobel Peace

Prize he's going to come at this negotiation from a position of strength

and send the message to North Korea which we should all agree upon

Democrats and Republicans mainstream media left-right media that North Korea

cannot have a nuclear weapon else millions of people will be killed that's

the reality of the conversation we're having and when you see rhetoric like

this where folks fellow Americans are almost enjoy seing rejoicing in the fact

that this potentially could collapse that is just wrong and it's the wrong

message to send to the leaders of North Korea where we have to send in United

message of oil negotiate but it comes from a position of strength what do you

think China's role is in all this you know I was talking to general King just

yesterday and the general made the point that you saw a real shift in the

rhetoric coming out of North Korea after Kim jong-un's second visit the first was

more publicized the second a little bit more under the radar his second visit to

China all of a sudden things were not quite so hunky-dory with with the US do

you think China behind the scenes is trying to pull a few strings to make

sure that the u.s. and North Korea don't get too close well absolutely

China is critical to the successful outcome of this and some of the things

that are also in players the relationship between the US and China

that's just the nature of the beast and the relationship there but hopefully

this message of pulling out of the summit that the president was leading

from a position of strength I only sent a message to North Korea but to China to

say you better have stand with us in these negotiations and the message is

hopefully they have done to North Korea directly nuclear weapons on the problem

of course is that the Chinese they do things like sign up for sanctions right

and and they kind of go along with it for a little while but general keen

sources of which he has some very good ones are telling him that actually trade

is back on right now with North Korea and they are actually importing some

coal now to China from North Korea I mean you look at the GDP statistics

right in North Korea and they've gone up in recent years they can't really go up

when you don't trade with anyone but in fact they are trading with China in

other words they have a customer for their stuff how do we get through to

China at a time when we're also trying to say hey Chyna enough with the trade

tariffs yeah well that's why the policy of maximum pressure includes cutting off

the relationship between North Korea and China and making sure the flow of cash

is critically restrained or stopped going into North Korea and I think at

the end of the day China will recognize it's in their interest or interest to

make sure North Korea does not have a nuclear weapon mm-hmm yeah you're gonna

have two choices there Kris you're going to either have peace or you're going to

have war and war in the backyard of China is not in China's eye I hear you

right they don't need all the refugees coming in to mainland China that's gonna

be a problem they certainly don't want chaos there on that peninsula but

nonetheless they also like having a buffer right between us and them and

they know that if we're chummy with North Korea or if we somehow were able

to in general Bolton the general forgive me ambassador Bolton has said to me now

Secretary of State has said to me over and over again how much he would forgive

me national security advisor and gone through a lot of vitals okay it's Friday

before a holiday weekend the National Security Advisor jumbles and has told me

how much he would like to unify that peninsula if that happens I mean you

know China's not going to be happy about that congressman and I think that's

perhaps some of the dynamic that's being played out I think there's a little bit

of that but at the end of the day if it's a choice between a nuclearized

Peninsula with North Korea and war I think China will sign and see the

recognition that there needs to be a stability brought to the to the

peninsula and that's where we're gonna end up I hope in my opinion well

congressman I hope so too it's good to see you thank you very much

congressman was happy Memorial Day weekend

all right the u.s. is reaching a deal dick he's Chinese telecom Zee

ii-in business we're going to examine the details of this deal and whether or

not it really makes sense plus if your Amazon echo doing more than

listening to your private conversations could it actually be recording your

N. Korea still willing to hold summit with U.S. - Duration: 2:00.

North Korea, meanwhile, says it's still willing to hold a summit.

Pyongyang's vice foreign minister released a statement a few hours after the meeting

was called off by Mr. Trump.

And the statement was unusually conciliatory, expressing some respect for the American president's

approach hitherto.

Oh Jung-hee has this story.

Using very polished and polite diplomatic rhetoric, North Korea urged the United States

to give more thought to canceling their June 12th summit.

North Korea's Vice Foreign Minister Kim Kye-gwan released a statement early Friday morning

-- roughly eight hours after the announcement from Washington.

He said the North wants to give the U.S. more time and opportunity -- meaning, Pyongyang

is still willing to sit down with Washington for summit talks.

Regarding President Trump citing the North's fury and hostility for calling off the summit,

Pyongyang claimed... that was only because Washington pressed North Korea over unilateral

denuclearization.

It added... the current situation -- which shows a very deep rift between the two sides

-- rather means the summit talks are urgently needed.

North Korea did express regret over Trump's decision,... but at the same time appealed...

that the regime has been highly anticipating the summit as well as what the White House

has suggested as a 'Trump model.'

It added the regime appreciates President Trump for making a decision that no other

American president has... and has been hoping the summit marks a beginning to improving

their relations.

The statement also said...

North Korean leader Kim Jong-un has been pouring his efforts into summit preparations.

The North stressed... that both sides can't be perfectly satisfied at their first attempt,

but if they solve their issues one-by-one, their relations will only get better, not

worse.

Pyongyang concluded its statement by saying it's willing to sit down face-to-face with

Washington at any time with any format to work through their issues.

OFFICIALS JAILED BRUNSON

ON WHAT MANY BELIEVE ARE

FALSE CHARGES.

EERIK ROSALES TALKED ABOUT

BRUNSON'S SITUATION WITH

THE U.S. AMBASSADOR AT

THE PRESIDENT HAS RAISED,

THE VICE PRESIDENT HAS

RAISED IT, THE SECRETARY

BUT TURKEY HAS JUST TAKEN

A DIFFERENT ATTITUDE

TOWARDS THE UNITED STATES

NOW.

MUCH MORE CONFRONTATIONAL

WITH US.

I THINK WE HAVE TO RESPOND

AGGRESSIVELY.

>> Reporter: JUST LIKE

WE DID WITH THE NORTH

KOREANS, BRINGING THEM

HOME, DO YOU THINK AND ANDREW

BRUNSON WILL BE BROUGHT

HOME?

TURKISH GOVERNMENT IS

DOING.

THERE IS NO FACTUAL BASIS

FOR THIS.

HE WOULD BE OUT OF JAIL IN

THERE IS NOTHING THAT ARE

THERE.

AND THE TURKS ARE USING

THIS AT A HIGH LEVEL, AND

IT IS HURTING THE

-------------------------------------------

Explaining the US-China trade deficit - Duration: 3:58.

A trade deficit is the difference between exports and imports.

And for the United States it's often negative.

It has been negative with China for about close to 20 years and it's grown because

the U.S. has consumed more goods from China than it has exported to China.

One reason for this is because U.S. firms often set up shop in China as part of foreign

direct investments in China in order to produce goods using cheap labor and then to re-export

them back to the United States.

It's these companies, these multinational firms, that create a lot of profit and at

the same time, they generate jobs in the United States in the services sector by hiring people

who do advertising or marketing or financial aspects for their companies.

In addition to that, a lot of goods are simply processed in China.

So that means that some goods are produced in other nations especially in East and Southeast

Asia, and they're processed or put together in China and then re-exported to the United States.

So it's far more complex than China just producing goods and sending them over to us, and us shipping goods to them.

Now, some people have pointed to the trade deficit as something that is very bad.

While others see it as something that is relatively neutral.

President Trump has pointed to it as a symbol of U.S. weakness.

And other China hawks have viewed it as a way in which China has attempted to exploit the United States.

Economists don't see it that way.

And the reason for that is because it makes consumption for American households far cheaper

than if American firms simply produce goods in the United States, in which case they would have to pay far higher wages.

Certainly it has reduced the number of manufacturing jobs that are housed in the United States,

because labor in developing countries like China or Vietnam is far cheaper than it is here.

So, China takes the dollars that we used to pay for goods imported from China and they

can either hold the dollars in terms of reserves or invest the funds in the United States mainly in the form of treasury bonds.

So they're holding U.S. debt which allows America to spend more overall.

So in general, it has been a positive for United States.

President Trump misunderstands and misinterprets what the trade deficit is.

He seems to view it as a debt.

A win or lose game, a zero sum game.

When in actuality, most economists view trade as a win-win solution.

Because in most cases, countries export the goods that they have a comparative advantage in,

that's relatively cheaper for them to produce, and they import goods that are relatively

more expensive for them to produce.

And so in this way, both countries are thought to win out from trade.

So a trade deficit is merely a measure of exports and imports.

It's not about who is winning or who is losing.

What does North Korea need to do to restart U.S. talks? - Duration: 6:58.

WOODRUFF: The Singapore summit is canceled, putting an end, for now at least, to planning

for President Trump to meet with North Korea's Kim Jong-un in early June.

Today, the president sent a letter to Kim, announcing he's pulling out and referring

to the massive and powerful nuclear capabilities of the United States.

Foreign affairs correspondent Nick Schifrin begins our coverage.

(BEGIN VIDEOTAPE)

TRUMP: Hello, everybody.

NICK SCHIFRIN, PBS NEWSHOUR FOREIGN AFFAIRS CORRESPONDENT: President Trump once said his

summit with Kim Jong-un could produce peace and safety for the world.

Today, he said he had no choice but to cancel.

TRUMP: Based on the recent statement of North Korea, I've decided to terminate the planned

summit.

I believe that this is a tremendous setback for North Korea and, indeed, a setback for

the world.

SCHIFRIN: The path from confidence to cancellation included what a senior U.S. official described

as Americans being stood up by North Koreans at a planned logistical meeting in Singapore.

U.S. hope became doubt in less than a month.

JOHN BOLTON, NATIONAL SECURITY ADVISOR: I think we're looking at the Libya model of

2003, 2004.

SCHIFRIN: On April 29th, national security advisor John Bolton invoked Libya and its

former leader Muammar Gadhafi, who in 2003 traded his nascent nuclear program for normalization,

but in 2011 was overthrown and killed by U.S.-backed rebels.

On May the 16th, North Korean first vice minister of foreign affairs Kim Kye Gwan called Bolton

"repugnant" and said: If the U.S. is trying to force our unilateral nuclear abandonment,

we will no longer be interested in such dialogue.

On Tuesday, Vice President Mike Pence repeated the reference to Libya.

MIKE PENCE, VICE PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES: As the president made clear, this you know,

this will only end like the Libya model ended if Kim Jong Un doesn't make a deal.

UNIDENTIFIED FEMALE: Some people saw that as a threat.

PENCE: Well, I think it's more of a fact.

SCHIFRIN: Last night, chief North Korean negotiator Choe Son Hui called Pence's remarks ignorant

and stupid, and added: Whether the U.S. will meet us at a meeting room or encounter us

at nuclear-to- nuclear showdown is entirely dependent upon the decision and behavior of

the United States.

Just hours later, Trump cited those words to cancel the summit, and immediately mentioned

the U.S. military was prepared.

TRUMP: Our military, which is by far the most powerful anywhere in the world, and has been

greatly enhanced recently, as you all know, is ready if necessary.

SCHIFRIN: That's exactly the talk South Korean President Moon Jae-in's been trying to prevent.

He met President Trump just two days ago and today expressed surprise.

I am very perplexed, he told his cabinet, and is very regrettable that the North Korea-U.S.

summit will not be held.

Trump walked away from the summit just hours after North Korea said it destroyed at least

part of the Punggye-ri nuclear test site.

The U.S. says North Korea went back on its promise to invite experts, but journalists

including "Associated Press" Raf Wober were there.

RAF WOBER, ASSOCIATED PRESS: The Nuclear Weapons Institute did try to emphasize that North

Korea wants to demonstrate its willingness to denuclearize.

SCHIFRIN: But the nature of that denuclearization remains in dispute.

North Korea expresses interest in slow, step-by-step denuclearization, and step-by-step American

incentives.

The U.S. would prefer all-in-one denuclearization.

And senior U.S. officials say North Korean broken promises and a break in communication

convinced them that gap could not be breached.

Here's Secretary of State Mike Pompeo and Senate Foreign Relations Chairman Bob Corker.

SEN.

BOB CORKER (R-TN), CHAIR, SENATE FOREIGN RELATIONS COMMITTEE: You can tell when something's coming

together and people are getting back quickly, and the logistics are being worked out.

It was your sense over the course of the last week or so that that was diminishing, is that

correct?

MIKE POMPEO, SECRETARY OF STATE: We got a lot of dial tones, Senator.

SCHIFRIN: The intelligence community has long concluded Kim would not give up his nuclear

weapons.

But today, even after he cancelled, President Trump repeated his faith in Kim's intentions.

TRUMP: They want to do what's right.

I really believe Kim Jong-un wants to do what's right.

So, hopefully, things will work out.

SCHIFRIN: President Trump says he felt very strongly about canceling, but still open to

talking.

The ball the U.S. says is now in North Korea's court.

For the "PBS NewsHour", I'm Nick Schifrin.

(END VIDEOTAPE)

WOODRUFF: For more now on why the president backed out of plans for the summit, I'm

joined by our White House correspondent Yamiche Alcindor.

So, Yamiche, you have been working on the story all day.

What more have you learned about this, about why?

YAMICHE ALCINDOR, PBS NEWSHOUR WHITE HOUSE CORRESPONDENT: I've learned that the summit

was canceled because White House officials believed that North Korea was engaged in a

pattern of behavior that showed it wasn't really serious about denuclearization.

The senior White House official today said and told me and the other reporters that there

was, quote, radio silence when it came to North Korea.

So, American officials were trying to work out the logistics, the policy issues that

they were going to cover, and at some point, they literally stopped getting called back

from their North Korean counterparts and could gotten forward.

So, this was canceled because they didn't think they could be ready by June 12th.

WOODRUFF: So, do you get a sense this is off permanently or there's a chance that this

could be -- that this could come together again?

ALCINDOR: I've been talking to a lot of people and that was my main question to them.

Two people I can at least quote on the record were Kellyanne Conway who, of course, is the

White House counselor, and Rudy Giuliani who is the president's personal attorney, both

of them and several other people who can't be named all said they thought this was definitely

going to happen, they thought President Trump is very much interested in having this meeting

happen.

The problem is they're not sure whether or not North Korea is going to really meet the

conditions that they want.

Rudy Giuliani told me particular: I don't think it's necessarily totally canceled.

Kellyanne Conway made it a point to say that she thought there was so much that had been

gained in the last couple of weeks, we think about the fact that there were hostages released

from North Korea, that North Korean and South Korean leaders have their own summit.

So, she thinks that because of all those things, that something could happen in the future.

WOODRUFF: Interesting that the president's attorney and president's political counselor

are talking about foreign policy.

ALCINDOR: Yes.

WOODRUFF: Yamiche, what did you learn about what conditions or what the White House wants

to have happen if anything's going to move forward?

ALCINDOR: That's the key here.

I talked to people and asked them, OK, so, what needs to happen if the summit was going

to happen, what can happen in the future?

They told me a couple of things.

They said that North Korea cannot engage in missile testing, nuclear testing and they

cannot publicly object to the U.S. and South Korea military exercises.

So, that's kind of something that's pretty clear.

But the things that the White House has been more cagey to confirm are, there is reporting

out there and at least one person confirmed this to me that they want North Korea to start

dismantling its nuclear warheads, its nuclear material and interballistic (ph) missiles

overseas and move them out of North Korea within six months.

That was one person who told me that, but there were all the people at the White House

I was trying to physically chase down today and none of them would confirm that.

So, it's still up in the air what North Korea has to do specifically for the United States

to want to meet with them now.

WOODRUFF: Sounds like still a lot of discussions underway internally.

ALCINDOR: I think if North Korea at least are picking up the phone, that they might

be able to have a conversation.

WOODRUFF: Yamiche Alcindor, we thank you.

N. Korea-U.S. Summit cancellation not a surprise: Experts - Duration: 3:19.

Some perceive Trump's shocking decision as an impulsive one.

But there are those who believe it is a calculated move, perhaps even a negotiation strategy

Oh Soo-young help us find out if there's a method to his madness.

The sudden cancellation of the North Korea-U.S. summit may have been a sudden decision, but

it wasn't entirely a surprise.

Experts on North Korea told Arirang News Friday it was clear both sides lacked working-level

preparations for a meeting on June 12th.

"I think the American side particularly wasn't ready.

Donald Trump wasn't focusing on this very much.

He was interested in the drama and theatre of it.

But it wasn't clear the president was doing the research in the time and the study necessary

to actually debate these complex issues with the North.

North Korea's behavior in the last couple of weeks didn't help.

They stood up American negotiators in Singapore, they just left them standing there for three

days in a row.

The whole thing was just going too fast."

Without sufficient back-channel talks, major sticking points remain unresolved.

According to some experts, that is why both Washington and Pyongyang, over the past week,

indicated they may call the summit off.

"There's a little gamesmanship going on here.

In Trump's case, a lot of the critics were saying he seems to eager for the summit, so

he's playing hard to get.

And the North Koreans have a history of also playing hard to get.

North Koreans said they would walk out if the U.S. was forcing them to denuclearize."

Pyongyang has called for a gradual process of scrapping its nukes -- an approach Washington

has resisted, given the North's track record of breaking promises and backing out of verifying

its nuclear dismantlement.

"My strong hunch is serious people are working on the U.S side, we want to have the North

stop producing plutonium and highly enriched uranium.

That's the first order of business.

We probably want to have the second location of the enrichment site told to us early on....

some declaration of how much high enriched uranium and plutonium it has produced and

how many nuclear weapons they have.

They don't have to do this right at the summit but it is the key, critical early step."

North Korea, on its part, is also likely to demand concrete steps from the U.S. -- first

and foremost, a security guarantee for its ruling regime.

"They want to make sure if they do give up some of their nuclear weapons program, the

Americans won't attack them.

I think the U.S. will have some trouble credibly committing to North Korean security, which

is why the North Koreans will never go to zero.

The Libyan model didn't work out very well for the Libyans, right?

So the Americans need to make a set of reasonable offers that the North Koreans might buy and

they comeback with some things that we want.

Besides a security guarantee, I imagine they would want a sanctions relief.

Economic assistance, and diplomatic normalization."

Before a new date and venue is set, experts say working-level efforts are needed from

both sides, involving diplomats and nuclear weapons experts.

They need to devise a framework that Trump and Kim can work with to reach a denuclearization

agreement.
