charge kim jong un with war criminal. brian: he does feel hits on him. he does think he is going to be taken out at any moment. is he like many oppress he had leaders going to have hell to pay for what he has done in the country. steve: he has he got to worry about the americans. he has got to worry about the chinese as well. jeff riff, mr. president, of the time has come to deal with north korea released mad dog. brian: not easy dealing with south korea at this moment. new leader there wants to be closer to china than us, perhaps. that thad missile system do more environmental test before we set up the missile protection system that we were giving them fora billion dollars. and setting up for free. so that s going to be a bit of a challenge in the area. ainsley: i m with congressman royce. i think we should ban anyone from going to north korea. why anyone would want to go there is beyond me. we are talking about banning people from cuba. north korea, we need to ban people from going
