THE PICTURES TELL A DIFFERENT
STORY.
THE VICE PRESIDENT AND HIS
FAMILY ALL RUSHED TO SAFETY.
JOINING ME NOW IS CONGRESSMAN
ADAM SCHIFF.
THANK YOU FOR JOINING ME.
WHAT CAN BE DONE BY THE
COMMITTEES ASKING FOR
INFORMATION FROM A NUMBER OF
AGENCIES, PARTICULARLY WHEN
THERE IS NO AGREEMENT ON AN
INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATION.
>> AN INDEPENDENT INVESTIGATION
MAKES THE MOST SENSE AND THE
SPEAKER IS WORKING HARD TO BRING
THAT ABOUT.
BUT THERE IS REPUBLICAN
RESISTANCE TO IT.
WE ARE NOT GOING TO SIT STILL.
WE ARE GOING TO GET TO THE FULL
FACTS OF WHAT TOOK PLACE IN THE
RUNNUPS TO JANUARY 6.
WHY SOME OF THE WARNING SIGNS
WERE MISSED.
WHAT WE NEED TO DO TO PROTECT
OUR COUNTRY GOING FORWARD.
SIX OF US HAVE WRITTEN TO 16
AGENCIES ASKING FOR THE
PERTINENT DOCUMENTS SO WE CAN
BEGIN THE PROCESS OF A THOROUGH
INVESTIGATION TO MAKE SURE WE
UNDERSTAND EXACTLY WHAT WENT
INTO THAT FAILED INSURRECTION
AND HOW WE PREVENT FURTHER
VIOLENCE LIKE THAT.
>> YESTERDAY THERE WAS A
QUESTION BY KRISTEN WELKER.
NORTH KOREA IS CHALLENGING THE
NEW ADMINISTRATION, AS THEY HAVE
IN THE PAST WITH PRESIDENTS
TRUMP AND OBAMA FIRING TWO
SHORT-TERM MISSILES.
PRESIDENT BIDEN POINTED OUT
THESE ARE IN VIOLATION.
THIS IS PART OF THE EXCHANGE
BETWEEN KRISTEN WELKER AND THE
PRESIDENT YESTERDAY.
>> WHAT IF ANY ACTIONS WILL YOU
TAKE AND WHAT IS THE RED LINE ON
NORTH KOREA.
>> WE ARE CONSULTING WITH OUR
PARTNERS AND THERE WILL BE
RESPONSES IF THEY CHOOSE TO
ESCALATE.
WE WILL RESPOND ACCORDINGLY.
BUT I AM ALSO PREPARED FOR SOME
FORM OF DIPLOMACY, BUT IT HAS TO
BE CONDITIONED UPON THE END RESULT OF DENUCLEARIZATION.
RESULT OF DENUCLEARIZATION. >> CONGRESSMAN, FROM ALL
>> CONGRESSMAN, FROM ALL
REPORTS, KIM JONG UN HAS MADE
CHANGES TO HIS MISSILES UNDER
THE COVER OF DIPLOMACY AND LOVE
LETTERS BACK AND FORTH BETWEEN
HIM AND PRESIDENT TRUMP.
PRESIDENT TRUMP CALLED THEM LOVE
LETTERS.
WHAT CAN TAKE PLACE NOW?
ALL OF PRESIDENT TRUMP’S
OVERTURES HAVE BEEN REJECTED.
>> I WOULD EXPECT TO BE WHERE WE
ARE NOW.
NORTH KOREA DOING MISSILE TESTS.
THERE ARE NEGOTIATIONS.
THERE IS A PRACTICAL EFFECT.
THEY ARE PERFECTING THEIR
BALLISTIC MISSILE PROGRAM.
THEY ARE PERFECTING MISSILES THAT CANNOT ONLY HIT THE UNITED
THAT CANNOT ONLY HIT THE UNITED
STATES BUT CAN CONTAIN NEWARKUCL
WARHEADS.
IT SERVES ADVANCING THEIR
PROGRAM BUT ALSO RAISING THE
STAKES.
I THINK PRESIDENT BIDE WILL TAKE
A DIFFERENT TACT.
PRESIDENT TRUMP GAVE KIM JONG-UN
REPEATED STAGE AND GOT NOTHING
FOR IT.
JOE BIDEN WILL NOT MAKE THAT
MISTAKE.
I THINK IT MAKES SENSE FOR THE
UNITED NATIONS TO INTRODUCE NEW
SACKS AND
SACKS SANCTIONS AND TURN UP THE HEAT.
SANCTIONS AND TURN UP THE HEAT.
>> PRESIDENT BIND DOESN’TEN DOES
THINK THAT HE CAN ACHIEVE WHAT
PRESIDENT TRUMP SO THE TO
ACHIEVE.
DO YOU THINK HE WILL BE ABLE TO
MEET THE GOAL OF EARLY NEXT
YEAR?
>> I THINK HE CAN MEET THAT
GOAL.
THE QUESTION WILL BE WHETHER
THERE IS AN AGREEMENT BETWEEN
THE AFGHAN GOVERNMENT AND
TALIBAN TO SHARE POWER.
IT LOOKS LIKE THE UNITED STATES
IS LEAVING.
THAT’S THE PRESIDENT’S
INTENTION.
WHAT WILL BE LEFT BEHIND.
HOPEFULLY WE CAN ENSURE SOME
KIND OF POWER SHARING AGREEMENT
THAT WILL OUTLAST OUR LEAVING
THE COUNTRY.
THIS IS THE RIGHT STRATEGY FOR
THE ADMINISTRATION, BUT I DON’T
WANT TO UNDERESTIMATE HOW
DIFFICULT IT WILL BE OR WHAT THE
