Good morning are you just terrific banking Florida's colder and it is a little selling them.
So all star Kim Jong-un beaten what -- -- shall.
-- it's -- -- Europe can't let this anti nuclear weapons of peninsula currency.
-- he's during recent he said that that piece that cease fire agreement between north and South Korea he's decided that it's not gonna apply anymore.
The problem is United States has 30000 troops along the border between north and South Korea.
I'm -- don't worry about this guy waking up and deciding he's going to -- -- San Francisco.
But something could go wrong and he doesn't have nuclear weapons Japanese real close.
And you worry that somebody's gonna -- calculate the other thing or worry about a city's gonna sell his nuclear weapons to Iran.
Woolen what would Adams -- just society -- -- South Korea.
Well then they here's how things unfold if he decides he's gonna -- South Korea face and troops over the border of the demilitarized zone in South Korea South Korea went with Samad attack.
The United States is there is a tripwire we would be involved so within a matter of minutes.
If not hours.
We would have major conflict on the Korean Peninsula and then what would happen is we're trying to get involved and in which way.
Japan how would they get involved.
The whole area I think China has been very happy to have it be critical -- -- but they don't want to boil over -- -- little bugs and Japan avail us.
Japan would definitely -- on our -- now we -- -- regions with these countries.
But the -- the point is that you could have that part of the world which -- -- a whole lot of attention to since 1950s.
All of a sudden be.
Have flash point for all the major conflict that you can imagine but China kind of encourage -- slump.
North Korea and.
The deal I think -- they've been really content to have the Korean Peninsula below borrow.
Because it keeps us off balance keeps the South Koreans -- -- keeps the Japanese off balance.
But they don't want it to boil over because they don't want to have obviously -- conflict.
They don't want North Korea collapse because and you have found millions of north Koreans were racing over the Lou river refugees and -- China.
And they certainly don't want to see a world where Japan.
-- arms may -- gets nuclear weapons South Korea gets nuclear weapons.
And it becomes a very dangerous border for the Chinese or do you think -- about Dennis Rodman -- It's rich in war that -- I think it's a little bit symptomatic of how Lou that places here here's the -- Former UN ambassador our merchants and couldn't get a meeting with Kim -- to have Google couldn't get a meeting with the head of have Cox North Korea Kim German but who could Dennis Rodman and the two guys sitting.
Asked side in Iran and the basketball court and can be here haven't a great time.
Actually guy who's in church of nuclear weapons of skin -- all -- mister Robinson.
All Kim Jong or more liberals call from Brussels while the pros -- overall there's questions.
-- I don't think that the president of the United States shed.
-- around sort of handing things like phone calls out that that's something you gotta earn and the north Koreans have shown that they've.
They haven't -- -- an hour every negotiation we've had with the north Koreans in the Bush Administration Obama administration they've got their position.
We got our position and we keep moving towards their position.
And although we've had a product.
You know as well you can't get nuclear weapons the affected its North Korea's on the verge of being -- nuclear weapons and I was talking to commercial home from America.
Other than Dennis Rodman -- nobody.
Since college forward sub normal well is yes but who would talk to him I am an old conductor -- -- -- and OK what is and a -- time and Afghanistan I'm not sure how that's gonna work out -- -- -- -- North Korea.
You know -- -- housing and -- on a job.
I think it'll it'll be a very tough job -- well I don't think you'll do very well because he's got his mission is to cut defense.
He's gonna need two things to do that cooperation from military incorporation from Capitol Hill I don't think you're getting their -- Now all of good -- larger concern notes such Jindal.
This those loose rhetoric coming from.
Have a commercial options and then what are we implement that bush and and that's -- -- Snapped right -- he's incompetent right he's had ten years.
Billions of dollars.
2000 American lives tens of thousands of American casualties he has yet to unify this country.
Or to build a police are an army he says it's our fault he's co -- Tuesday's partly skimmed he and his family -- -- skimmed billions off the top.
-- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- -- I mean this is this is a -- -- Lafayette has at least the mafia keeps its.
It's deals -- side though I think he's decided MM.
Time honored Afghanistan tradition -- switching sides he thinks -- he's trying to make himself look like he's anti American so that when the Taliban command.
He has a chance of surviving I think that -- -- -- two ways Karzai's either on the last plane out.
Or even before the American -- he's on a plane out to Dubai to collect his billions or he sticks around any ends up like its predecessor did.
Mutilated and swinging from a lamppost and we have but to regular guests -- -- foreground like Babylon former yeah he's granted there -- -- and Mike Baker reformers and a either one would be happy and above the mosque would be just a -- I think they're they're planning of Afghans and Taliban and be happy about tomorrow but I don't think that -- a problem.
The home.
All how slow -- sector has stood together and turner.
You know like him.
He's fine and I think he's talks a lot.
But I don't think -- do a terrific job I think the -- -- Mexican Mafia boss in this administration I don't know why they were hit -- my -- -- -- and I think he's a lot better than the alternative which would have been Susan Rice.
And I think you'll do just a fine job but I'm not sure.
That he'll be setting foreign policy I think in this administration it comes out of the White House.
Not out of the State Department -- of the defense of you don't think territory -- I mean.
Import all of which has -- -- -- But I don't think they're gonna accomplish much I don't think the president once it -- he's so focused on foreign policy he's focused on domestic policy economic policy.
So what's he considers social justice and what -- gonna have to deal within the next four years probably in the next eighteen months.
Is does Iran get nuclear weapons do we let Iran get nuclear weapons do we stop Iran from getting nuclear weapons does Israel stop -- from getting nuclear weapons.
And do you have another war on the middle -- -- -- and a central -- Well -- what's liberal solution hundred dollar.
What's appliance as any black talk to your friend Henry Kissinger yesterday about the same topic and he said the only thing he can see and I would agree with -- is that you get the countries around Afghanistan the guys in the neighborhood.
And get them all to have some kind of an agreement to have a cease fire so you get India Pakistan China -- -- Russia and Iran.
And if you don't get those guys to agree and I think he's one of those countries has its own militia that is backing in Afghanistan and -- -- a bloody civil war.
They'll be a lot of score settling and it'll be are very sad and tragic -- so a couple of headlines all of our conversation each morning and yeah.
Of apparently endorsed the losses of -- gallon.
And you talked your oil and retention USA held as he's eighty room.
So this is soul just -- -- could possibly imagine planet of -- -- -- just it's just let them all out of social and what I mean.
Tellem may have ward Phillips and Connecticut that make -- data and a New York -- right.
Come on how consensus straight -- -- narrow was -- fallout from all of those.
It's a.
Did you say sharpest -- is great about Canada -- butler's -- Well his parents fled to be a hundred so he's only 89 he's got another twenty years ago it was a great -- -- island accident or on our.
Elections -- and just drift and the all important importantly -- I do I was -- White House at the time.
