Based on a deal that we had done with with Mubarak could now of course sitting in jail so we're out of in the White House just simply saying look we can't we we -- a deal with a president who would.
It is now in jail we're gonna hold off on the deal until we can assess.
You are essentially your attitude towards -- -- your attention.
That it is what it yet because I I guess they didn't want to look on the Muslim brother.
We're here this morning -- You oddly enough I'm an Idaho right now getting ready to get -- -- -- Seventy -- -- are talking on my banker who served for fourteen years and Covert operations in the city what do you do now.
Well I think it would regatta got recalled -- -- -- up.
It is intelligence collection and -- security and risk management -- work.
A variety of clients around the world and that's -- that's about his biggest I can make -- I suppose.
And why here in Idaho some kind of a whole lot doesn't come down there are not I'm from a -- some drums.
-- we're also earlier -- -- white smoke and.
Dialect of my my -- -- -- from here so yep finally decide to move out here we do a lot of on big fishing.
And climbing and -- so without -- will finally move that move the try about here and and I I travel a lot anyway so I can do that anywhere.
-- -- -- -- Yeah absolutely -- -- a beautiful beautiful state -- recorded coming up on a quarter of -- there are an average of my Brigham.
What kind of dictator model way does Kim Jong on the entire life.
A Palm Bay because he's evil bastard.
Who stars as people.
-- boy usually blow stuff softer threatens everybody and is addicted to porn I mean what more projectiles.
I don't it is seeking to -- is like blow felt very good -- up -- -- -- and then and there are not that many of them left.
Yeah he -- either fascinating character -- I find it hard to believe that the visit by Dennis Rodman.
Didn't successfully tamp down yet the North Korea's bellicose -- -- -- I typed up for sure that was all Q after all these years.
What we've who we've got you know we got this this.
Problem brewing and it's it's it's potentially unlike in the past his dad is is it's grandfather before him.
You know -- all -- -- done -- -- rattled this Sabre whenever they want something we've all kind of felt somewhat comfortable in the fact it will that would normally goes so far.
But the problem -- -- that gene pool is getting any more impressive so now we're down to the grandson.
And I think there is some concern that he could just be crazy enough.
To engage in in some sort of contest against itself.
But if they if if there if they had to send troops and a South Korea they're they're gonna have.
At least that tacit backing of the Chinese aren't -- Well they would.
It's someplace they would ask -- yes the Chinese definitely would prefer although North Korea and the flows -- -- in the slow in the China.
And so it's if if that's it happened we keep -- that -- -- -- -- to going to get outside with us and provide some leveraging convinced.
Kim Jong -- did you know to just deal sit tight it -- public I don't think that's going to happen a Chinese always act in our own best interest.
And so I don't think -- can count on them to push any leverage on uncertain what we really have no more leverage we've issued new sanctions.
This past week.
In the -- -- very very little that we -- do at this stage.
Other than hope that he's not absolutely she just.
Crazy.
But what's gone on Iraq and regarding their whole lot about out of there are but whoever wants to -- -- -- -- -- Pretty much know what -- known Islamist guerrilla was from where when and there isn't.
Well it's it -- certainly more chaotic.
I'm not saying it.
You know we went -- there are no one bemoaning the fact though it was fabricated doubt that the -- -- fabricated elders it was it was.
Misinformed.
And there was consensus -- you know with our liaison partners around the globe that it was the right thing to do well quickly it became clear -- it it.
It was based on some information it -- an accurate.
And yet we stayed we stayed in the state.
Again I don't think we're very good at.
Correcting our -- sometimes you know we we want to do the right thank.
And whether -- there Afghanistan or elsewhere we feel like we're doing the right thing but we don't have those.
Periodic mom actually step back say is -- in our own national security interest if not let's change course.
