Happy easter to those of you celebrating. We have a lot of politics to get to. But first, the growing tension between the United States and north korea. North korea last night launched a Ballistic Missile from the Submarine Base in sinpo, but the missile exploded minutes after launch. This happened as mike pence landed in south korea for talks on how to counter the growing Nuclear Ambitions and he spoke to american troops at a breakfast there this morning. Im joined by Senior National security analyst juan duarte, the failure, the New York Times this morning leans hard into the idea that the failure wasnt necessarily a north korean failure, but maybe sabotage and possibly sabotage from the United States. What can you say . This is a Missile Program thats been replete with failures. And the challenge is we dont know yet. It could be sabotage. It could be poor engineering or bad luck. Its the nature of the Missile Programs but its clear that
