People have excessive expectations. we actually expect things to get done this president has gotten a lot done in first 100, 200 days. he hasn t done it with the help of the senate in this case. steve: have you heard, david over the last couple of months you know if anyone can get it done. is he a brilliant tactician when it comes to the way the senate works doesn t the senate work differently than anyone else on the planet. it the most arcane and backwards rules. when you look at the senate this club of 100 as i like to call them have been the president s body for decades, whatever president it is because they made deals. they can t even make a deal here on behalf of the american people. the problem is republicans for different reasons, on opposite ends of the spectrum ideologically, within the party. steve: right. will go against obamacare. so when you have 52 people who can t make up their minds, they can t move the ball forward, they ignore the very reagan principle of, look,
The dprc regimes will continue to be grossly overmatched by ours and would lose any arms race or conflict it initiates. steve: absolutely. keep in mind, they re not going to do it. this is more bluster from north korea. we have been hearing this for 15, 16 years. something like that. and when you think about if they were to be so stupid as to try to shoot at gawrges and you know when things are coming in at guam, you are going to have to defend the country, it s a suicide mission. we would strike back, most probably, to defend guam, maybe japan. i don t think kim i don t even think kim is that dumb. brian: why we put himself in such a way in which now he could look weak. they have been very good over the last 70 years of not putting themselves in the spotlight. they get what they want. they get more talks. they get international attention and a lot of times they get food and energy.
