terrible joke. i just wish somebody from the white house would he tell the country it s inappropriate. that s not who we are. sadly told mccain s daughter in a phone call she would publicly apologize for the remark but has yet to do so. i don t understand what kind of environment you re working in when that would be acceptable and then you come to work the next day and still have a job. press secretary sarah sanders berated the communications staff over the leak on friday. even as that controversy is still hanging over the white house as a new week begins here, it is all a discussion a focus on the looming trade war potentially. chinese president s top economic adviser is coming to washington this week to talk about this. chris and erica, so important to remember all of this coming against the back drop when the u.s. needs china s help in setting up the historic summit in singapore with kim jong-un.
short range and long range missiles that could easily devastate south korea and japan. we know they ve got major stocks of chemical and biological weapons. you remember the assassination of kim jong-un s brother at the airport. they carried out that assassination with vx. they are a chemical and biological weapons known power. they could put nerve agent on to some of the weapons we know for sure they ve got. if they were able to successfully hit a city like tokyo, they means they would be hitting a population center of over 30 million people. tokyo s metropolitan area has a population akin to california s. north korea first tested a nuclear weapon in 2006. we know they ve got some nuclear capacity. there s definitely intrigue and mystery as to the full extent of their nuclear capability. the number their weapons, how advanced they are, how they could be delivered. but separate and apart from
have also seen this threat from the president. basically threatening force against north korea. does that appear to have been an off the cuff threat from the president or did that come as part of a strategy? i don t get the sense it was any part of a strategy at all. what it is is this building rhetoric between u.s. and north korea. which we saw kim jong-un respond to. he said capability of hitting guam for some time now and the u.s. has responded with by building up a military presence there. even more than existed by putting forward some b-1 bombers that fly this continuing bomber presence into and over the treeian peninsula regularly. so this seems to be more rhetoric on both sides at this point. courtney kuby, i appreciate your time tonight, thank you. thank you you. we ll be right back. stay with us. ou. we ll be right back. stay with us. u. we ll be right back. stay with us. . we ll be right back. stay with us. . we ll be right back. stay with us. for your heart.
