What has happened here. we all but -- its been all but confirmed that were probably not looking at an intercontinental ballistic missile, which would have a long range with the potential to reach the united states. this is more than likely, according to some sources that were speaking to here, a submarine launched missile because sinpo is where the north korean army has its submarine assets. so putting two and two together, theyre saying this is the likelihood. again, nothing is confirmed at thi...

He may try to showcase something with respect to the road mobile intercontinental ballistic missile. they may try to conduct a nuclear test, although they always have to balance that challenge with using some of the nuclear materials they want to have their for actual weapons purposes. one of the challenges with the icbm capability is they havent test ed it. they have tested it in launching vehicles in trying to get into a space launch, but they havent tested that road mobile intercontinental ba...

Or at a submarine state. this cold cannister solid fuel missile technology allows them to launch quickly because they do not have to fuel a missile with liquid propellent which takes time and allows satellite to view a missile launch. this quick launch capability is something that the north koreans have been working on and it also is in the same vein as the road mobile capability to put a missile on the back of an 18-wheeler so they can drive it around and it cant be spotted by spy satellites. i...

Developing that right now from what we know this was most likely a test of their submarine launched ballistic missile or a test to develop that submarine launched ballistic missile. it was on display in the parade. you may have seen. it was this sort of stubby black and white missile with an elongated nose cone being carried. multiple versions of this, several of them, which made us think this was a signal that they were intending to develop this capability further. of course as you said, the te...

Andrea was noting its not a significant event in terms of a departure from north koreas approach in recent months. they have launched a similar solid fueled launch short or medium range missile. this is not, we should underscore, not the intercontinental ballistic missile launch, nor is it the nuclear test that most people feared because of course the main national security threat against the united states would be to take a miniature nuclear weapon and north korea does have about 20 bombs worth...

Happy to test into the sea of japan would put seattle, los angeles at risk. tomorrow our attention is going to necessarily turn to that front as president trump and the leader of 20% of the people on earth are meeting in mar-a-lago in florida. and boy, thats a tougher equation, is it not? >> oh, no question. the number one threat to the american people in our security interest is north korea. they are potentially irrational. they may have 15 nuclear weapons already. they without question will ha...

>> bill: the guy is a nut. and the chinese, i dont know, they could crush them in a minute. do you predict war in north korea? would you say thats a likelihood?? >> i think right now, if i had to look at the number of hotnk spots in the world, i think north korea is near the topk because they clearly are unpredictable. they are continuing to develop their missile capabilities, their icbm capability, they are working on miniaturizing nuclear weapons. all of those steps are dangerous. but more dan...

>> bill: these guys are nuts in the chinese, i dont know, they could crush them in a minute. do you protect war and north korea? would you say that the likelihood? >> i think right now, if i had to look at the number of hot spots in the world, i think north korea is near the top because they clearly are unpredictable. they are continuing to develop their missile capabilities, their icbm capability, they are working on miniaturizing nuclear weapons. all of those steps are dangerous. more dangerou...

Gravity of the office of the president and the magnitude of the challenges our country embraces will encourage him to be more thoughtful in his comments. however president-elect trump has made a number of statements addressing north koreas icbm capability, our trade relations with china and expansion of u.s. nuclear weapons. most troubling is the president-elects continuing praise of vladimir putin and his seeming indifference to his efforts to influence the american election. many people believ...

Worse than the munich deal and thats this iranian deal. i want to ask you about this and what you would do as president if youre elected. because look at the video thats out today. look at what the iranian parliament did yesterday. even with the nuclear deal, theyre burning the american flag. they wont give up chanting "death to america." and yet this presidents going to give them 150 billion. missile defense with putin. icbm capability. more conventional weapons. and we got nothing. what would ...
