I like that old time Rock N Roll Joe good morning. This is the second hour of fox and Friends Weekend on this football saturday morning, youre looking at the Hilton Head Island south carolina, looks a lot different from the range at parris island, south carolina. Out there in the middle of camp, you can see hilton head across the water, you are a miserable marine with no hair, no personality, youre hungry and sleepy, theres a bunch of golf and country club folks over there. Rachel s and that is spring break place . Joe i dont over the spring break but rachel i remember spring break there. I do...

Worried about any rockets striking austin, l.a., hawaii, places like that. what they are concerned about, though, are those rockets that could be aimed at some of the islands around south korea, some of the local regional attacks. they don't believe at this point that kim jong-un is going to launch any sort of massive strike against the united states. but they're very worried that north korea may come right up to the edge of these provocations and then tumble over the edge. in other words, a localized strike, like when they shell those border islands around south korea, just a few years ago, t...
