Its possible, marie, that a lot of this leads back to the obama team. what is your feeling on that now? >> im happy to have that conversation. there were russian officials that were actively being monitored by the administration i worked for, by republican and democratic administrations for many decades. so if mike flynn got picked up incidentally as catherine herridge talked about earlier. if he got picked up talking to a russian official that is perfectly legal and i would argue appropriate. i...

It escalated after north korea for about 74 days did not shoot a missile. what concerns me the most is the enormously rapid technological progress north korea has. it went up to 3,000 miles in height and reach 1,000 miles distance wise, which is washington, d.c. there is good developments here. i try to have good developments. north korea has reached the pinnacle of what it perceives to be the technological nuclear capability and maybe they are ready to negotiate. then again, for 74 days, they d...

Support from other states, rogue countries like syria and pakistan on the black market and nuclear materials. >> still worrisome with all the u.s. efforts to denuclearize north korea failed. going back to bill clintons administration and the bush and obama administrations, u.s. leaders have been working on this and right now north korea has an intercontinental missile capability potentially with nuclear warheads despite all of those efforts. why have they failed? >> they have all failed because ...

Purposeful misleading, purposeful lies. and id be very surprised with kushner with the capability that abby lowe brings to the team that kushners going to find himself in a 1,001 false statements trap. >> david, tell us about what we know about the relationship between kushner and flynn. >> they were very close during the campaign and i think thats part of why they were speaking to kushner today. its been amazing sort of, you know, kushners position is sort of up in the air but they sort of rose...

If it was done knowingly and intentionally and involved a material aspect of the inquiry. if he makes a mistake thats correctible and he corrects it later on, thats not likely to give rise to a false statements prosecution. so false statements really is purposeful misleading, purposeful lies. and id be very surprised with kushner with the capability that abbe lowell brings to the team that kushners going to find himself in a 1,001 false statements trap. >> david, tell us about what we know about...

Korea does have a missile capable of hitting the u.s. mainland? >> what north korea has not yet demonstrated in a test is the capability to bring a pay load, in effect, a nuclear warhead back into the atmosphere. they havent done that yet, but each of these tests brings them closer to doing that. and for months, the view of the u.s. intel community has been this, that we have to assume as a country for national security purposes that north korea has an untested capability of doing that. and that...

A lot of them cheat. i think china, on the evidence, is not interested in enforcing these sanctions, not in any important way. russia, same problem. they dont actually work. they have not stopped this nuclear program. i dont see any reason why that is about to change. it really depends on what the u.s. leads the way to doing. sanctions, again, may cost kim jong-un a lot and his people far more, but theyre not going to stop this nuclear program. >> neil: you always want to raise -- if all of thes...
