on face to face meetings with kim jong un. staged a meeting monday after the launch. and warned that it does look like north korea could be heading towards ending it moratorium. on intercontinental ballistic missile launches and nuclear tests. which would ratchet up tensions even more on the korean peninsula. as you mention, a u.s. white house administration official has spoken to cnn. and pointed out that the bidenen administration has been trying to reach out to the north korea regime. sending messages but not receiving responses. unlike the previous trump administration. it appears the biden administration doesn t want to engage in face to face
administration has put through. why? well, i call it moratorium, it is a temporary stoppage. five of the countries which i mentioned are failed states. iran is issued by itself, has been at perpetual war with the united states. the other five are failed states. they have internal conflicts, radicalizations, jihadiism, they can come back at any moment. they are a threat. as precautionary measure it makes sense to stop immigration from those countries until the national security of the country can be sorted out. it is in the longer larger interest of national security to actually implement this moratorium. tucker: it seems like, i don t even understand this argument, tell me if you ve heard it. people are saying on the left, that this temporary travel ban would somehow make this country more dangerous, would imperil is more. do you believe there is any
announced it will study this for a year. there are calls already for a more t moratorium. how can secretary gates opposed to that? he s opposed to it because it is repealed by another name and we need the time. he is very supportive of the desire to move forward with the repeal of don t ask, don t tell. he and the chairman have been outspoken in their support of that effort but they ve been vehemently in support of the time needed to review this, to gauge the potential impact of a repeal of this 13-year-old law and determine what, indeed, the effects would be on the force. we ve had a lot of stories written. there s a lot of tales told. a lot of anecdotal stories. what we don t have is hard evidence, a study dedicated to the united states military to determine what the impact would be, what the complications would be, what the opportunities may be, and so not until that study is done it s due for december does the secretary believe, at least, we should proceed in any way legislat
