it at least gets people thinking about north korea. north korea is one of the strangest places on this or any other you west there in 2005. i did go there. and to churchill s old quote, it s a mystery wrapped in enigma. this we do have to understand, that china is the key to north korea. if there s to be peace in the region, over any length of time, china will be the key to that. i don t think most americans know that. so in the sense that dennis rodman going to have his picture taken with him, i agree with you that a certain naiveness comes into this. but terrible things have happened there. murder, the country s concentration camps, people starving, all of those things. dennis rodman was the, i think all-time rebounder in the nba. he can t be expected to know all of this. i find it oddly fascinating, kim jong-un is such a basketball fan. it humanizes him in a way he s never been humanized. we don t know much about this
anyway. kim jong-un has a long history of prison camps, concentration camps, people starving, but dennis rodman says obama should give him a call. don t forget he is my friend, as he said. and there s the phrase, two of the grandfather and the father two of the great butchers of all-time. when i was at the state department a met a lot of whacky diplomats. the guy can take the cake. well intentioned. you think somebody would have briefed him on the human rights conditions. but, no, he says a good guy america friend. that s his problem to deal with. it s not just we haven t had anybody sit noun north korea as far as i know, franklin graham, billy graham s son. outside of that they won t talk to any diplomats from the united states but they talk to dennis rodman and the hard blem globetrotter, i think all of that can be i think this is
resolutions, and we, along with the philippines and other countries in the asian pacific region condemn it. reporter: if the pasthe u.s. will go to the u.n. to ask for more sanctions against north korea, but this is the most heavily sanctioned state. jenna: we know there are millions of people starving. how does north korea work this out where they make this a priority, but they have people starving in their country? reporter: estimated to be 6 million people starving or malnutrition. it s called a military first policy. kim jong un the youthful leader of north korea only in power for about a year is expected to follow-up on this launch with another nuclear tes cement his internal standing after the failed test of last april. few foreign policy observers ever try to that it opl the thinking of this regime because it s policy choices are often barbaric.
now forgotten. who approves 52 million in cash to go to afghanistan which ends up in dubai? unbelievable. this country is in such trouble. we have leaders that don t have any chew as to what is happening. or any clue as to what is happening, maybe they do have a clue that makes it worse. greta: the president s jobs act. the report is about the 450 billion, now we ve gone from millions to billions. 400 billion will come from reducing the ability to take charitable deductions. if you give to charity you will lose that over a certain income level. many say will discourage people if giving to charity, hospitals, people starving, schools or whatever. that s the first thing. second payroll tax deduction eliminating that. how do you play with these numbers? what does this mean?
