demonstrate to the american people that he understands that those concerns about the ethics of that situation are real and they need to be rectified in some way, shape or form. also, like for example, i always like to use this example because it s simple. he has a loan from a chinese bank, like a $900 million loan or something like that. so let s say he divests himself of all business ownership, couldn t china use that as a sledge hammer, right, because wouldn t you hear about it anyway? no doubt. i would even make it an even simpler example. donald trump could be sitting around the dinner table with his kids saying hey, how are the businesses going and then offering advice about what to do. to your point, you talk about china, using it as a sledge hammer, what about a world leader deciding to put a trump hotel in downtown city wherever they are, or anything along those lines. it s very hard, i don t know if there is a way out of it, to be quite honest with you.
and i have a massive heart attack right in my driveway. the doctor put me on a bayer aspirin regimen. [ male announcer ] be sure to talk to your doctor before you begin an aspirin regimen. go talk to your doctor. you re not indestructible anymore. couldn t china play a key role in getting north korea to stop their actions? i would think that china could play a key role in influencing the bellicose rhetoric and restoring some more sense of calm to the peninsula. that was u.s. pacific command admiral am yule locklear, calling kim jong un impet yus at services committee hearing. warning that north korea s provocations are causing problems throughout the region. kelly ayotte joins me from the hill. what did you hear today that.

was at all reassuring about the state of play is? what do you think the state of play is? i think andrea, the issue is this, certainly we were used to dealing with kim jong un s father in terms of these bellicose rants that would happen periodically. but this is taking it to a new level with the son right now. as the admiral described him as impetuous, it s very unpredictable situation. the reason i raise china in the hearing is because a big part of the north korean economy, what economy they do have, is reliant on china, including as their biggest trading partner for food, for fuel, so i think china could end this right away. if they would come down harder on north korea. and so that s why i focused on that area of questioning before the hearing today. we did hear a warning a little bit oblique, but certainly pointed, at north korea. from the new chinese president,
