South korea retaliates against them. i don t want to see anything bad happen to the civilians of south korea. i don t want to see anything bad happens to the civilians in the united states either. sean: well-said ambassador and i agree wholeheartedly with you. a do we know if we see a missile on a pad and one that couldal reach the continentalny united states, any part of the united states or guam do we know if that missile is loaded with anything? we can only guess. the north koreans are very close to being able to switch from liquid fuel to solid fuel, that means time on launchpad, preparation time will be dramatically reduced. i thought it was significant in this launch over japan, i have not heard that any missile defense capability of ours, south korea or japan tried to engage this missile. i think that may demonstrate to the north koreans unfortunately just how weak america s national missile defense capabilities are after eight years of savage obama administration budget cut ....
Bombers over the korean peninsula. there have been some air exercises, they fired off some attack-ems, missiles they fired across the border. i think we ll see something like that coming in the next day or two, sometime this week. the u.s. military also tested their missile defense system earlier today off the coast of hawaii, a long planned test, but it was successful. they tested their ability to intercept and take down a medium range ballistic missile. what we saw on monday from north korea that flew over japan was an intermediate range, slightly longer. this is the u.s. military showing they have this missile defense capability. for sure. courtney, kristen welker in missouri, thank you both so much for taking the time to be with us today. coming up, we re going to take a look at some of those who are risking their lives to rescue animals from harvey s devastation. and some good news, what started out as an effort to raise $200,000 for the victims of hurricane harvey has turned in ....
Week ago they launch eed missil that could reach the united states. whether they escalate or de-escalate the threat, we have to continue with our ability to defend ourselves. they ve threatened to launch four missiles which could hit guam by august if the they don t like what the u.s. is saying. what if they didn t hit the island but the waters nearby? that s a tactical question. we do have missile defense capability against some short range and intermediate range missiles and some against the longer range directed towards our homeland. but we have short changed for years and don t have the missile to appropriately defend against north korea and the other threats we face. ....
Because if we think that trajectory is on track, we would have to engage our own missile defense capability. and my overall assessment is that we shouldn t be where we are, but bill clinton had had an opportunity to negotiate with the north koreans. he made a deal. he paid the ransom but didn t secure the hostage. barack obama did the the same thing and did the same thing with iran. we re now starting into an area where we could find some of the most dangerous enemy s ies to america in the world it would be armed with nuclear weapons. that s not good news for children and future generations. maybe we have been dealt a difficult hand, but thus far, is the president playing that hand correctly in firing off fire and fury, inciting that irrational foreign leader in kim jong-un? well, the reality is that we only have two ways to defend this nation against ....
Icbm as we did in the soviet union and as we did in china. harris: one last question. we have been talking about our own capability. the minutemen through program. the significance of that and are we ready? and i just have a few seconds, but i want to make sure our audience hears it from you, general. oh, yeah. absolutely. our offensive missile capabilities, while they have been atrophying to be sure we are upgrading them and we can deal with that reality as horrific as that is. what we have been putting on fast forward is our missile defense capability. the ground based mid course capability that we re putting in alaska and also in california we have had problems with those, 50% have failed. we are putting in new sensors and and enhancing them. harris: you re confident? that s a last ditch effort. if we have a missile coming to the united states and we have got to defend it from alaska, that s a pretty ....
