was in my 40s. and i got them in my 40s. i have no ability to cope with them whatsoever. not that i envy people who have had allergies for their entire life. i feel like when you got them when you were 8 you figured out how to deal with them and how to anticipate them. now every year of my 40s whatever happens that brings on my allergies comes along in the fall. it s like i m a goldfish swimming around the bowl seeing that castle for the first time. oh, my god, castle. oh, my god, a castle. oh, my god, a castle. shocks me every time. i have no ability to deal with it. so forgive me. i know i sounded terrible on the show on friday night. i realized i had to take a break for coughing, but keep hope alive. all right. as i was saying, new york times had a remarkable report today on north korean national security issues unrelated to their nuclear program and their threat of being able to rain artillery down on cyber rain artillery down on south korea. one of the things that north korea
sides, including news media reports, the u.s. is ready to try something preemptive. that s right, brian. all eyes are on the nuclear detonation test site that the north koreans have used five times before. they first used it in 2006 under president bush and four times under the last administration. i would say it s important to note, i am concerned about these reports about preemptive military strike on north korea s nuclear facilities. it s not clear to me at all what would be contemplated. would we actually put a conventional weapon on top of a nuclear site where we could potentially disperse that nuclear material? that doesn t seem very effective to me. it s also concerning because that could actually provoke kim jong-un to do something like rain artillery down on seoul where there are 10 to 20 million people living in the greater seoul area. we have 500,000 troops on that peninsula. that s a tender box. i think it s a very dangerous
that could actually provoke kim jong-un to do something like rain artillery down on seoul where therere 10 to 20 million people. we have got 28500 troops on that peninsula. that s a tinder box. i think that s a very dangerous thing. i want to say one thing, brian, about the notion earlier about my military. i think that s okay as well when you are the commander in chief. but he s got to remember, this military is the military that president obama built. for eight straight years president obama put forward budgets and built capability. for him to campaign and say the military is depleted but in 2017 wake up and say they are great, it s amazing they are my military, there is cognitive whiplash. you know full well the dangers on that korean peninsula. this is a tough one. we have one weapon actually can be used on underground sites. and that s the larger brother of
