Now there seems to be a different pitch to it. is that noticeable in the city? >> reporter: it is. in the conversation ive been having with everyone here is frankly, who is more unpredictable, kim jong un or president trump. the head of the press center here today says she doesnt think there could be a war but what worries her is there could be a miscommunication, not necessarily that this is a slow drumbeat to a nuclear apocaly e apocalypse, but that there could be a miscommunication starting t...

Unpredictable. what theyre doing is projecting their irrationality on an irrational actor and that doesnt make sense. >> steve israel, same question, and ill take it up a notch. are you comfortable with that? and if you look at the statement the way the north koreans responded, it doesnt seem that theyre taking it seriously. are you comfortable with him improvising and do you think this is a way as senator santorum said to end this situation or at least to contain the situation? >> im exceedingl...

Then one day, the badger got into a fight with a pudgy wolf who was somehow even crazier, and both of them had nuclear weapons and distant, unpleasable fathers. [ laughter ] and -- uh. ♪ yikes. >> problem with north korea and the nukes is not an easy one to fix. so far, trumps strategy of playing multiple rounds of golf and watching "fox and friends" is not working either. [ laughter ] the bottom line is we cannot afford to have an unstable, unpredictable, ego maniac dictator in charge of an a...

Working either. the bottom line is we cant afford to have an unstable, unpredictable, ego main ymaniac charge of nuclear weapons -- and kim jong-un has to be stopped, too. >> i saw this coming from a mile. and a jet fire crashed into the ocean. the pilot ejected about 20 miles from the key west naval air station. a coast guard helicopter crew observed an emergency smoke signal and responded quickly to the scene. the incident is under investigation. the pilot, who has not been identified, suffe...

What do you think of marco rubios comments? hes not alone. even some who tend to be, frankly, anti-trump on the republican side think that, you know, this is not a bad tactic to take, given the fact of decades of failed diplomacy with north korea? >> thats right, dana. a lot of people are saying that. that perhaps its time for a tougher line with kim jong-un, son of kind of the rhetoric, match his rhetoric, and you know, before president trump took office there was a lot about a madman theory th...

No other president in history would have used that kind of language. but senator van hollen, heres my question. isnt it possible that this -- call it what you will, over the top, unpredictable, these sort of tactics that the president is using, that it might actually work because we have had, you know, 30 years of bipartisan failures on getting anything done, concretely, on north korea. >> no, im glad you raised that. what will work is steady and very firm pressure on north korea through our all...

>> look, nuclear should be off the table. but would there be a time when it could be used? possibly. >> you might use it in europe? >> no. i dont think so. >> but im just saying -- >> i am not taking cards off the table. >> nuclear is just -- the power, the devastation is very important to me. >> youre ready to let japan and south korea become nuclear powers? >> if theyre not going to take care of us properly we cant be the military and the police for the world. >> the united states has not used...

About getting him home from north korea, some sort of back channel between the u.s. and north korea. we know secretary tillerson did recently say that the conversation with the foreign minister would be on the table. how imminent could that be? >> i dont think were talking about, you know, imminent in the next, you know, days or weeks, brooke, but certainly secretary tillerson is trying to lay the groundwork, sending a pretty not-so-subtle message to the north koreans, were ready to talk, send u...

Brian touched on this, and its important, what is the one word if you have to think of donald trump, you can say cash or unpredictable. the idea of why are we talking about 2020, sure, youre right, at the same time, this is someone who has literal le rewritten every rule in presidential politics and getting elected president and how hes acted in this 200 days. so unpredictable is the new predictable. given that, you have to have some cement ambulance semblance. i think it would be hard for any o...

>> what on earth is essentially a art film doing in prime time television. >> american network television has long been considered the home of the bland, the cautious and the predictable. so it was with some trepidation that it the abc network launched a new series that was none of those things.
