To test the world's 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 regime's 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. this particular test, second time they're shooting over an island of japan. it seems to me we are ge...

Pad and in its boost phase, you don't 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. what's he going to do? that's why we have run out of time for diplomatic options with north korea. secretary tiller's and keeps talking about it, it's a needless diversion. we have very few diplomatic plays left to make. we've got to get real serious about explaining to north korea not, demonstrated to them and to ch...
