books on north korea. good to see you, gentlemen. >> good morning. lauren: bruce, you have experience with this. but at the next critical steps? >> they did that a couple years ago in the high altitude as we commonly know it. they have a defense they are. the problem with that is we are the north koreans to take the unlikely choice of shooting ballistic missiles that guam. probably has a 65 to 85 chance of shooting down this missile, especially if there's a volley. it's not a perfect system. they have the missile of lucid on for a couple years. they also fired him with saddam

missile with an elongated range the day my daughter graduated from the university of iowa. there's no doubt north koreans have been missiles. on the other hand, we have the plastic ballistic missiles. this is something with a serious watch. lauren: a quick quick follow-up. do we know if north korea has the ability to accurately shoot fire these missiles to hit the target? isn't it much more difficult? >> the ballistic missiles are not designed to take out names such as individual barracks or even pieces of bases. they are really weapons of mass distraction in a terrorist sense. they are the kind of missiles they would target cities with like anchorage, for example, tested on july 4th. one has about 170,000 american

citizens they are. they have three bases scattered across the island. all they would basically have to do if they had nuclear warhead would hit somewhere on the island and probably killed tens of thousands of people. lauren: north korea said they have 12 rocket that can pass over japan and landed in the sea 17 miles from guam and do that within days. that's pretty specific and not usually what the north koreans who appeared now with the rhetoric they are operating from fear instead? >> i think it shows their desperation. this is the regime but three administrations that have failed to do with the simple fact that aggressors, rogue states like north korea, iran, threat and intimidate countries the united states only if they're allowed to do it that a president,

secretary of state with his remarks yesterday that are returning that kind of rhetoric and a clear way. the difference is very clear. the united states would never be destroyed by north korea. it would never do anything except get itself wiped off the face of the map. they realize that, claiming down is the problem. the chinese are not a stalwart of the united states is to pressure china to solve this problem along with us. lauren: so glad you brought up the statement yesterday. all the talk about the rhetoric, that essentially matters came out with a long statement is that if you engage in an arms race process, you will lose. do we have the arsenal that is needed and modern enough to be able to engage in a military confrontation if it gets to that point? >> certainly we do.

you don't even need to use nuclear weapons to wipe them out. conventional forces could probably destroy the north korean armed forces, including most of their wmd in the early weeks or months of the war. it is important to note 130,000 americans in seoul, so anywhere we fought that the biggest concerns in the united states. spamming south korea's in the middle of this held hostage in a nation of 25 million people. thank you so much for your time this morning. >> thank you. cheryl: talking about it coming out to first hurricane of the season making landfall in mexico. janice dean is tracking the storm for us. and then there is space.
