Iran and north korea ramping up their threats against the United States following President Trumps u. N. Address. Did the president go too far or are these countries finally realizing there is a you are in sheriff in town . With us is tammy bruce, captain chuck nash and peter books. Captain nash, i have got to start with you. The drum beats of war are loud and clear. President trump did not mince any words. He called out a lot of people and good for him. He removed any of the ambiguities surrounding this. He said what makes logical sense here. He said if we have to defend ourselves or our allies against north korea, well decimate north korea. That message was for kim jongun. But it was also for beijing and moscow. Charles ed the normal course of people who dont like trump didnt like the speech. Applause in the u. N.

And reagan is going to use that same expression and he only would have gotten that through discussions with Dwight Eisenhower. Where did we take a recent course. In recent days theres been smiles in the kremlin. Theyve been warm and friendly. But i wonder if theyre smiling or if theyre laughing at us. Were now ready to talk a Nuclear Weapon treaty that will stop us from protecting our cities as theirs are already protected. Russian weapons are killing our young men and raining down on the innocent civilians of saigon.
