Things with carrier pigeons, because they will not be able to talk to each other. >> seoul, south korea, everybody knows if they strike us or if we strike them, they will strike south korea. why are they resistant to the defense missile system. dont they know whats going on? >> because, again, nobody thinks were serious, as ambassador bolton said, theres been so much bluff and bluster, this is not a president that anybody ought to take anything but deadly serious. >> colonel oliver north, be sur...

Rebounding there for eight years. >> they have been lock and loaded for some time now? is this just bluster on the presidents part? >> i think its bluster on both sides. its nothing new coming from the mouths of the north korean dictator. whats different here is the way president trump speaks a little bit hand fisted. he said today, my same words coming out of somebody else a mouth would be considered smart. actually there is a nuance here, he is saying to kim jong-un, stop saying these things o...

Does the president have a point here? >> well, you know, its hard to say what were hearing directly from kim because its very hard to know exactly what speaks for whom in actually both of these administrations. at least when weve seen the president come out the past day and take up to 50 questions, we know it was coming from his mouth. typically if things are being filtered through aides and through generals, it is difficult to know what the intentions are of the leader, though we do know north ...

Very long lives, it seems to me we are losing that human memory, that capacity to imagine what a tragedy at a global scale could look like. >> how bad it could be. >> i think we have a lack of imagination in this country. we have been at war 17 years. more americans would be killed in the first five minutes of the second korean war than have lost their lives in the totality of these wars in afghanistan. the last korean war, a million-and-a-half koreans died. korea is one of the poorest countries...

Game where president trump is trying to put pressure on north koreans and the chinese, but so far no imminent sign of a military strike. >> here is the thing. all the bluster from north korea, does that now prevent them from even firing so much as a test missile, because if they would do so, the u.s., i guess, possibly could react with the defense that, look, we dont know if this is a test missile. we dont know if this is an attack? >> and thats why this game that president trump is playing is s...

Now i should note that the threats and weapons tests and bluster from north korea are actually nothing new. but as "the new york times" noted this week with previous american presidents they would meet such provocations with carefully warded responses and diplomacy. what is news is that our current american president who ca cavalierly freestyles threats that much of our nation and -- that inch our nation and the world that much closer to nuclear world. joining me now is a senior fellow on foreig...

Weve seen anything in the last six-plus months with donald trump is that he cares about what the base thinks. he caters to them. he promotes their loyalty. and they for the large part are remaining loyal. the rest of us in america might be scared, might be apoplectic, might wake up every morning wondering with a fear what were going to see when we look up twitter, have we gone into war, what is he dragging us into. to me it sounds like a yo-momma contest between the guy from north korea and the ...

Response is a very very very very very large ratio. this existential trade and worry that we have been experiencing, that the world has been experiencing about this stuff between our president and the north korean leadership, the threatened potential start of war, its all based on intel we have never seen that apparently doesnt have any backup from any other intelligence agencies or any other countries. so again, well be talking in detail with somebody who has real earned expertise on the north ...

Articles about another opponent, senate majority leader mitch mcconnell, and taking him on for blaming him for not getting the gop agenda moving. lets discuss the effectiveness of these tactics. weve got cnn political commentators ana navarro and mike shields. lets start with north korea because it has existential implications. obama wouldnt even talk about this, thats not completely true, but look, the situation has gotten worse. he says i will talk the talk. and it does seem to be provoking re...

Capacity to imagine what a tragedy on a global scale could look like. >> how bad it can be. >> i think we have a lack of imagination in this country. weve been at war for 17 years. more americans would be killed in the first five minutes of the second korean war than have lost their lives in the totality of these wars in iraq and afghanistan. the last korean war, a million and a half koreans died. and korea is one of the poorest countries in the world. today, south korea is the sixth largest eco...
