what s key to watch for now, guys, is whether or not china will step up. either way, our forces are ready to go. the air force s motto is aim high, fly, fight, win. guys? ainsley: all right. thank you. hopefully china will continue to support us. at least they did with the sanction deal voting 15-0. brian: i will tell you what, the president ratcheted it up yesterday. it seemed deliberate. we are still trying to find out. he sat there with his arms crossed. talking about opioids. this a short time after his briefing and going through this, hearing where we are at. he went out of his way to say this about the north korean threat. he is fed up. north korea best not make any more threats to the united states. they will be met with fire and fury like the world has never seen. he has been very threatening, beyond a normal statement. and as i said, they will be
happen with china? do you think china is going to wake up and realize we mean business? you know, right now, i certainly hope that our diplomatic and economic pressure is getting ratcheted all the way up to 11. you know, it s time for that. it s time for china to understand that since we will take military action, if they don t take diplomatic and economic action, it s in their best interest not to have hundreds of thousands of refugees streaming out of north korea into china. so i think they will actually come to their senses. they are the ones who can stop the flow of oil and food and money to the kim jong un regime. steve: absolutely. the big question is will they? i hope. so all right. jim hanson, we thank you very much for joining us live. thanks, steve. steve: 7:20 here in new york city. chicago mayor rahm emanuel keeping his focus on keeping his sanctuary city status. what s really at stake? our next guest is a former new york city police department officer who says there ar

about the risks and benefits of bexsero and if vaccination with bexsero is right for your teen. moms, we can t wait. i think the president what the president is doing is sending a strong message to north korea in language that kim jong un would understand because he doesn t seem to understand diplomatic language. i think the president just
wanted to be clear to the north korean regime that the u.s., you know, unquestionable ability to defend itself will defend itself and its allies and i think it was important that he deliver that message to avoid any miscalculation on their part. steve: there have you got the secretary of state rex tillerson on diplomatic mission responding to the fact some are wondering why the president of the united states used such firm imagery yesterday when he said of the threat from north korea we will meet fire and fury like the world has never seen before. and essentially what he just said was he is using, the president is using that kind of language, that kind of rhetoric because that s the kind of stuff mr. kim uses and maybe he will understand. brian: a month ago we complimented him and said he is a good leader survived a tough situation, young guy. how could you compliment him? he was trying to play to his ego to see if he could talk him off the cliff. clearly that didn t work. that was the
