nuclear powers understand their responsibilities. kim jong un shows no such understanding. his abus abusive use of missiles and thrts shows is he begging for war. we have kicked the can down the road long enough. there is no more road left. steve: that is the problem. we have kicked the can down the road so long now we are begging for war, according to our united nations ambassador. president trump has threatened to cut off all trade in anybody who does do some dealing with north korea. china has said, you know, that s just not fair. so you can t think about that. brian: right. steve: ultimately, it looks like the best changes we have is for some sort of sanctions and brian, to your point, united nations is going to consider pressing the united states pressing china to cut off all oil and all fuel because they get 90% of their stuff from china. so you cut that off and they go dark, literally. brian: you and your family
china says the right things but so far it hasn t done enough to aleve this crisis. so, if the u.s. were to have a policy to put more pressure on china, that s appropriate. i don t think we should start a trade war but we do need to pressure china. and we also need to draw even closer to our allies like japan and south korea. it s a little bit troubling that president trump is threatening a trade war with south korea. just as crisis has arisen when we need to be as close as possible to them when we have a coordinated military and diplomatic response to this crisis. >crisis. steve: morgan, president trump threatened to cut off. influence there is. that china better pay attention because we do $40 billion worth of trade with china every month. so if china wants our money, come on, help out. we spent the past three administrations running away from the chinese. running away from the north korean issue. no one has pressured china to the extent that they need to be pressured on this issue.
to a social benefit net that s paid for by the states. here is the argument do you want to take 800,000 people largely productive and students and in the workforce and send them home? do you want to separate children from their parents? do you want to separate brothers and sisters from each other. abby: many aren t children any more. they have grown up here and gone to school here. the legal side do we get back to law and order in this country which president trump has been honing in on and the emotional side you are talking about. what does congress do. the legal side says they go. they can t stay here. the emotional side, even the economic side says you are going to kick 800,000 young people out of the united states of america that is going to be catastrophic for employers and families. brian: apple says they have over 100 daca people working for them. prediction. congress will find some
north korea promising more gift packages closed quote for the united states amid reports they have been spotted moving a missile to their east coast preparing for, perhaps, another launch this weekend. the u.s. declares enough is enough. his abusive use of missiles and nuclear threats show that he is begging for war. steve: begging for war. so what should happen next here for debate morgan ortega served in the state department under president george w. bush and david tafuri former state department official in the obama administration. good morning to both of you. morgan, let s start with you. president trump has made it very clear. he does not want north korea to have nuclear weapon that could possibly hit the united states. you are right. what we are looking at what and we saw u.n. yesterday and president trump s phone call to south korean president last night two significant new diplomatic measures that this administration is taking. first we saw nikki haley propose oil sanctions
significant step that would involve the chinese. they probably don t want to do it. it would probably almost dismantle their economy it would hurt so much. the other thing we saw last night is president trump speak to the south korean president where they talked about allowing the south koreans to produce more nonnuclear antiballistic missiles which they have wanted to do for some time. although the left likes to argument trump s rhetoric is out of control. i think this administration is pursuing incredibly smart and diplomatic measures to try to avoid war. steve: you know, david, if china really wanted to help here all they would have to do is do what the administration wants them to is to cut off the fuel to north korea. north korea winds up with 80% of their stuff from china. so, if they don t want to shooting war, let s do something about a trade war. well, you re correct. china is a linchpin to finding a diplomatic solution because it has a lot of influence in north korea. more
