To test the worlds patience. kim jong un is calling for more ballistic missile launches into the pacific ocean. the rogue regime in pyongyangil fired a rocket over japan, and response president trump issued this stern warning earlier today. threatening to stabilizing actions only increase the north korean regimes isolation in the region and among all nations of the world. all options are on the table. here now with reaction fox news contributor, former u.s. ambassador to the u.n. john bolton. th...

Pad and in its boost phase, you dont know what the target is. this is the kind of existential question that president trump could be confronted with may be next year when the north koreans put a missile on the pad that we know could reach the united states with a nuclear warhead. whats he going to do? thats why we have run out of time for diplomatic options with north korea. secretary tillers and keeps talking about it, its a needless diversion. we have very few diplomatic plays left to make. we...

Because they deterred north korea from going beyond their testing to actually taking the shot at south korea or the united states territory. you have the boost phase when the enemy missile goes up, we need things in the area in korea to shoot those down. we have the exo- atmospheric phase, like the test we just stayed where we shoot it down out in space, and then we have the reentry phase where we need the same kind of stuff that we have and south korea both in hawaii and to the continental unit...

The one were going to show here and it failed. it failed to actually intercept that missile. how prepared is the u.s. military? >> well, for defending u.s., the answer is no. the north koreans can overwhelm. even if we hit every target on the missile interceptors in california and alaska are not as sophisticated as the one we just tested. we have some good technology on ships that can go close to north korea and maybe get it in the boost phase. so there are things that we can do. but the north k...

Engage. we try to do that. its not working. there has to be a stick. ultimately, theres going to have to be sanctions with chinese companies that do business with north korea to force pressure that way. secondly, we have to be forced to have the right military. not just executing a war in north korea which god prepared may have to happen and hopefully not. but in terms of missile defense here at home and the ability to destroy the intercontinental ballistics and its boost phase or even before he...

It would accelerate the development of multiple kill vehicles, this allows missiles when they are shot up, its not a bullet hitting a bullet but several kill vehicle off one missile that up the chance of hitting the missile and finally -- paul: that raises the chance that is youre actually going to hit the thing? >> absolutely. and the technology is being developed. i think its actually there. we need to deploy and finally a space base sensor system that would integrate all system in the world, ...

We have a duty to defend the homeland. its part of the comprehensive effort. we have units of fleets that have the capability to intercept the ballistic missiles and the boost phase. we also have that midpoint which is demonstrated. the bottom line is, we need a defense strategy that we continue to develop our technology is really good. we also need that diplomatic pressure and be able to compel the north koreans to really listen. we dont want a threat to the american homeland by nuclear tipped ...

Will be the ones that will have a booming economy that will suffer and suffer badly. so i dont think theyre interested in doing this. with that said, theres things -- >> neil: would you give them a heads-up? as we did with the russians and the syrian tomahawk missiles? >> i cant speak for the president, but he would say this is the last chance to get them in line. >> neil: and probably tell the north korean as well. were going to do it. >> and we have the capability. some things we need to build...

More from a low intends but prolonged conflicted they shoot one at us and we shoot one back at them? is it north korea who doesnt care about the welfare of its own people or south korea which a thriving economy but one that heavily dependent on trade and investment that would enter a crisis almost immediately during a prolonged spat with north korea. its really a naive approach. >> gregg: they said they would l not shoot down a north korean missile unless it poses a threat to a populated area. w...

The obama administration, canceled the airborne laser which is the best blatt form to defend against a north korean missile in the boost phase. martha: they wont necessarily recognize the armistice against south korea in the future. how big of a threat of south korea and our thousands of troops on the demilitarized zone might be? >> it cant be ignored. there is a tendency working north korea policy, to the extent we even have a policy to sort of get used to these threats from north korea but the...
