Jumping to conclusions too quickly as has been shown to be a very bad idea and we have to get to the point of this civil unrest me what i see this is rioting this is not protesting here and at the end of the day george the biggest victims of this riot team are poor people and pe
The 4 Police Officers were fired immediately it was just you know as soon as it was over that they were fighting we did it. Every single commentator in the United States condemn this i mean even the most right wing commentators the the pro police crowd the sean hannity Rush Limbaugh or judge Jeanine Pirro they all condemned so there was no attempt to say oh you know this was this is understandable reaction on the part of these now if you contrast that with what happened 3 years ago same city in minneapolis when a Young Australian woman white australian woman who was shot dead by a black Police Officer the black Police Officer was apparently threatened by a woman in her night gown and he shot her debt.

This is rioting this is not protesting here and at the end of the day george the biggest victims of this rioting are poor people and people of color at the end of the day ahead or.

He did 3 icbm tests in 2017. That was a red line, north koreans would be in trouble if they did that. A Massive Nuclear test, he threatened, threatened to hit south korea, night training for commando raids. He has mark displays of the south korean president ial house, training on how be rated he has done. And and the maximum pressure campaign.

What i worry about is his progressiveness, not being chased or being self reflected what you need to do but sensing weakness they might go all in on the other sector which is the Nuclear Weapons program and military readiness.

Were fortunate that jung and sue will spend the next hour with us breaking that when you dont about how north korea operates, who kim jongun is, and what is going on in north korea these days. They bring a wealth of knowledge to this conversation. They both are former intelligence analysts who represent the very best of their previous profession. They each were tremendous colleagues while in government and their tremendous friends to me now. In addition to being deeply informed, kind, and deadly sport, they also a ton of fun. So before i turn it over to jung a
