Voting taking place right now in their election, and he could bring about a big change. What is not changing is the norths insistence that the u. S. Is behind a plot to overthrow kim jongun. Rich edson has the latest. Four american citizens in prison in north korea. This weekend the regime announced it adjusted the arrested the second academic. The University Says we understand this detention is related to an investigation into matters not connected in any way with the work. Detaining american citizens, and horrific treatment of substance through the Trump Administration says north korea is the United States primary security challenge and the u. S. s most important ally holding an election tuesday. Who is the president who can say what he has to say to the u. S. , china, japan, and north korea. In march, south korea impeached and removed its president. Polls show the front runner says that sanctions are in efficient. He is pushing for direct negotiations with kim jongun. There will be new tensions. That have not been there under conservative governments over the course of the past eight or nine years. His more conservative opponents claim that moon is soft on north korea. He and other conservatives support system the United States has installed. Moon has criticized the deployment and wrote that south korea should learn to say no to the americans. It is going to be harder to reverse the situation based on the fact that its already ther there. I think thats part of the reason why the deployment was accelerated. There are considerations beyond the north korean threat between the United States and south korea. President trump has called the freetrade agreement between the countries horrible and threatened to terminate or renegotiate it. It would be up to the next south Korean Administration to take up the task. Bret rich edson at the state department. Thank you. Senior u. S.

Local governments throughout the country are considering a tax on services such as netflix and hulu. Claudia cowan reports. Government officials dont produce shows for hulu, netflix, amazon and other services, but that is not stopping some of looking at ways to tax them. Local governments and their power to tax, they pop out somewhere else. Watchdogs are wary as cities argue they are losing money. According to an analyst firm, cable and Satellite Companies lost more than three quarters of a million subscribers in the first three months of this year, five times more than during the same period last year. A trend meant a drop in utility taxes. Glendale, california, is among those considering increasing utility user taxes which cover gas, electric, and Telecom Services to make up for hundreds of thousands in lost revenue. To allow that theres a consistent flow of revenue that pays for the services that you as a resident expect. Glendale is enlisting the help of cable and satellite providers to determine how such a streaming video tax might work but critics fear a slippery slope when streaming Video Services are taxed like gas or water. If you allow the city to do that, you are setting a precedent or almost anything on the internet or off the internet could be considered a taxable, under eves ability tax thats problematic for consumers. Chicago learn the lesson after blazing the trail in 2015, imposing a 9 levy on Digital Entertainment and prompting a consumer uproar. Last year, pennsylvania added a 6 tax on digital downloads to help close a 1. 3 billion budget cap. Alabama, illinois, louisiana are considering the idea. As our cities looking at ways to find new sources of revenue amid the cord cutting trend. Consumer groups are threatening to sue, claiming its a new tax that did not get voter approval. Bret claudia, thank you. The air forces secret spacecraft made quite an entrance in florida yesterday. The unmanned x37 b landed at the Kennedy Space center after 718 days in orbit. There were reports of a sonic boom that rattled the central part of the state. The air force does not exactly say what the spacecraft does. This was the ships first landing in florida. Sally yates says she warned the trump team about National Security visor Michael Flynn we will get reaction to her day of testimony when the panel joins me after a break. Felt like the Vice President was entitled to know that the information hed been given that he was relating to the American Public wasnt true, and that created a compromise situation, situation where the National Security advisor essentially could be blackmailed by the russians. We told them we were giving them all of this information so that they could take action. The action they deemed appropriate. Bret sally yates, she was the acting attorney general until she was fired by President Trump over the executive order on the travel ban and not moving forward with it, defending it. She is talking about warning the white House Counsel about Michael Flynn, the National Security advisor at the time. There you see december 29, Obama Administration announcing sanctions against russia. You have flynn speaking with the Russian Ambassador multiple times that day. January 26, sally yates warns the white House Counsel don mcgahn about flynn lying and saying that could potentially compromise him. February 8, flynn denies discussing the sanctions with russian officials in the Washington Post piece. He has to say he has no recollection of discussing it. February 13, flynn resigns from his National Security advisor post. That is where we are. Long hearing today. Steve hayes, editorinchief of the weekly standard, mercedes schlapp, anna palmer, and charles krauthammer. Steve, thoughts on the day. What we need most in this discussion is new information. We need something to break through, we need clarity. We didnt get that today. I think what we got was more of the same. Mike flynn made mistakes, exercised bad judgment. On question after question, both James Clapper and sally yates hid behind classification. One would hope if this matter continues and we are certain it will, somebody somewhere will say we need to see this stuff. The American Public needs to see it. Whether you are talking about transcripts of what mike flynn said in his conversation with sergey kislyak, whether youre talking about requests for unmasking, all of these things are being debated without the benefit of the public seeing what is the substantive claim. Bret New York Times had a piece saying mr. Obama, who had fired general flynn as head of the Defense Intelligence agency, told President Trump he would have profound concerns about mr. Flynn becoming a top National Security aide. It goes on to say that flynns name came up about personnel. The concerns were largely about his mismanagement. He goes on about warning trump about flynn. Here is sean spicer today. Its true that the president , president obama made it known he wasnt exactly a fan of general flynn. It shouldnt come as a surprise to anyone, given that general flynn had worked for president obama, was an outspoken critic of president obamas shortcomings. If he was truly concerned, why didnt he suspend general flynns security clearance . Why did the Obama Administration let flynn go to russia for a paid speaking engagement . I think what we are seeing is the white house pushing back on the narrative. That they thought flynn wasnt going to be a good actor for them. We start with what donald trump was trying to tweet. Bret general flynn was given the high security clearance by the Obama Administration with the fake news, talking about that and then the president tweeting ask sally yates under oath if she knows how classified information got into the newspapers soon after she explained it white House Counsel. Those questions were asked, mercedes, and they said they didnt know. They didnt know, and i think one of the things they kept going back to was the fact that we have to go into a classified setting to have these discussions. There are multiple story lines during the testimony. Republicans honing in on the leaks of classified information in the executive order where yates said she didnt support the executive order. She thought it was unlawful and the democrats still probing, are there russian ties between the Trump Campaign officials and the russians . I think for yates in general, that story line of the leaks and who got the information, i think Lindsey Graham honed in on it to say you know, clapper, there is very few people have access to the information. He wants to get to the bottom of it. Bret the unmasking of the names. Theres a paper trail somewhere at the nsa of who ordered it. There are several story lines, in these hours and hours of hearings advanced not one of them. We learned nothing today that we didnt know yesterday. Classic case of a video event that lives only to dramatize things but not to add to our fund of knowledge. We live in an age where that can sometimes work. The video of the United Airlines guide. If it hadnt been on video, we never would have talked about it. Because it was dramatized, it became a huge event. There is nothing that was said today that we didnt already know. The only result of these hours of hearings is that sally yates is now a democratic star and she needs to pick a state and run for the senate. She is a rising candidate for the future. Her answer on the question why did you resign at all that was exactly right. It would be nice if we had a tradition in our government where people resign on principle. You could say it was a cheap shot. She was leading three days later anyway. I dont think the iran raid in 1979 since we had a high official who resides in the administration was right to fire her. Cant carry out the president s orders, you are gone. We learned zero. Bret if the Washington Post had not come out with this story, is Michael Flynn still National Security advisor . No, because he would have screwed up on Something Else between then and now. On the question of president obama saying he warned President Trump about Michael Flynn, thats a bit disingenuous from president obama. Mike flynn was one of president obamas harshest critics, as it relates to islamic radicalism. Mike flynn was right about it. Whatever you think about what he did hear her or his explanation since he was right about that. He was sounding the alarm at a time when president obama was saying al qaeda was on the run. They werent. And mike flynn was right about that. The idea that sean spicer would say you know, the Obama Administration shouldve pulled mike flynns clearance, can you imagine how the Trump Campaign would have responded . As he is campaigning . s to go the Trump Campaign should have worried about vetting Michael Flynn, so they would have avoided this headache that they have. One of the questions thats been raised during the testimony, and i think its worth pursuing, why did the Trump Administration keep flynn on from that january january 28, the 18 days . They have this information and flynn was still attending classified briefings. Bret senator franken posited that perhaps he was concerned about other people and other communications and he just threw that out there in the hearing, saying maybe its one of the reasons. Nobody answered. But he threw it out there. Clearly thats the thinking of where the democrats are. I want to play this sound bite. This is from meet the press. Senator Lindsey Graham was asked whether clapper sticks by it. We include any evidence in our report, that is nsa, fbi, cia with my office, director of national intelligence, that had anything to do, any reflection of collusion between members of the Trump Campaign and the russians. No evidence of that included in our report. But does it exist . Not to my knowledge. Is that still accurate . It is. My answer would require me to reveal classified information. I think director clapper said he was unaware of the counterintelligence investigation. Bret you have this report said to be signed off by the fbi, cia, nsa. Not every but the intelligence giving this report and giving the conclusion they didnt have evidence of collusion. Sally yates is saying i cant talk about it because there was an Ongoing Investigation he didnt know about. Clapper stood by the testimony saying that the best of his knowledge, again today, it wasnt happening. It appears there was an investigation happening, for whatever reason, people werent giving him that information. Bret because it was in its infancy . Didnt make it into the report . Seems like a big disconnect. We are well into the administration and we still dont have evidence of collusion. It is not there yet. Democrats continue to say its fair. What else do they have . When you say its not there yet, it assumes its going to come out. What is going to come out . I dont even understand what collusion means. Bret knowing when wikileaks was going to be released, orchestrating the timing of the access hollywood tape, then the emails released. If thats what was going on, the idea we would have no evidence of it, its highly improbable. I think its the democrats pursuing a conspiracy theory. When i heard the senator from minnesota, franken, talking about his elaborate theory, i was thinking, who gave him the tinfoil hat . That is so way out there. Its a great theory. He would make a great novel but show me evidence. People involved with the russians and russians involved in the election without a shred of evidence connecting them. Until you get it, its a concoction by the democrats. I am open to evidence. Show it to me. Bret moments ago the president tweeted sally yates made the fake media extremely unhappy. She said nothing but old news. We will wrap up on that. Next up, turn of barack obama and the next steps on repealing and replacing surfing is a sport that takes a lot out of you physically. From the moment i wake up on my tempurpedic mattress i feel like im ready to take on the day. I dont have aches and pains from the previous days training. And i feel like myself. I wake up feeling stronger, a better surfer a better me. If you want to stay on top of your health, one simple thing to do is take the pledge to go and get screened for the cancers that might affect you. So stand up to cancer and take the pledge at getscreenednow. Org it only takes a minute to take care of yourself, and nothing rhymes with org. Bret before we move on to obamacare and the former president getting involved, the current president just tweeted again, talking about our last panel and some of the things said. He tweeted the russiatrump collusion story is a total hoax. When will this taxpayerfunded charade and . We will welcome President Trump on the show anytime and we would love to talk to you about this. Lets turn to health care. Former president and speaker of the house. The system is failing. We are rescuing people from a collapsing system. People expect them to keep our word. Hope current members of congress recall that it doesnt take a lot of courage to aid those who are already powerful, already comfortable, already influential. But it does require some courage to champion the vulnerable and the sick and the infirm, those who often have no access to the corridors of power. Bret former president obama making a case, mercedes, first standing up and holding his namesake law in fighting these repeal and replace efforts, not mentioning President Trump by name or the actual vote. I think americans are growing accustomed the idea that government is there to take care of them, regardless of the cost to individuals. I think where president obama is being more effective in terms of messaging, tackling the questions republicans are going to have to deal with, Older Americans pay more, which is how they are going to cut dedicated, and we know republican governors agree with medicaid expansion. These are the things senators will have to deal with. For president obama, he is making it his compassionate cas case. Bret the case republicans have been making is that obamacare is going to fall apart. That essentially some of these states only have one choice, may be zero choices after a while, and something has to be done. The issue for republicans is that they spent six years same repeal and replace them they came into power and didnt have a plan. Now you have the white house with their big speech, spiking the football last week, Senate Republicans are going to take a long time. Bret how long . To go i think it could be months in the making if they even take it up that all with the full senate. Bret Susan Collins from maine said that the senate is going to start from scratch. I think thats real, that they to going to start from scratch. Make us senate bill, and thats going to take some time. If it ever gets out of the senate, they have to figure out how it corresponds with what the house passed. I think its right. That is one of the challenges facing republicans. They could use it to their advantage if they have hearings and bring in experts and talk about the system. Paul ryan said the system is failing, and hes right. There is no denying it. What are you going to do . Fix whats in place or come up with something new . Bret the victory is just in the house. Its going to be entirely separate in the senate. Part of the challenge for republicans is looking to the white house for leadership. When the house pulled the bill six weeks ago and President Trump says if it doesnt work, im going to work with the democrats, it sends a terrible signal took Congressional Republicans who want to know the president has their back forever. When you say i am for moving this to a more free market system or ill work with the democrats want a singlepayer system, you are sending mixed messages and it makes it harder for republicans in congress. Bret senator coons, democrat. My guesses leader mcconnell is going to take some time and while he may pass a bill in the senate, i think he will send it to conference with the house for that conference will go on a very long time, and we wont actually see a final product until after the 2018 e. Til after the 2018 e bret is it possible . After the elections . You have house members who took a vote and held the line and passed this repeal and replace effort now facing reelection while its pending . Because thats what democrats would like. I dont think its going to happen. Mcconnell knows how to move the machine. Making a comment on president obamas statement. Its been a full 100 days but its nice to be reminded of why we should be grateful as a nation that he is gone. There are a lot of arguments you can make on either side about obamacare but notice how it was complete moral condescension. The other guys are cowards because i, and the people who support me, stand with the poor and afflicted and the others are on the side of the rich and powerful. Thats nonsense. With the democrats have done is practically committed political suicide. To support a measure with 17 support in the population that does what we know has to be done which is to curtail entitlement by curtailing medicaid, its inevitable. Obama had eight years. He didnt want to touch it. Pretend you can say that this is something necessary, something people are entitled to, but to pretend youre the one whos advocating a courageous position when it goes completely against what the public wants, its complete nonsense. Obama do that all through his presidency, always assuming he was on the side of the angels and always the one willing to go against Public Opinion when it was completely the opposite. He reminded us, reminded me, but good riddance, mr. President. Bret strong letter to follow. Thats the restrained version of my reaction. Bret thank you, panel.
