>> the staff is feeling . you know, we are still in the midst of the spring break season and the lines are very, very long. >> we work hard and pay our tax they are cashin in. have a great day. >> uma: john kerry reaching out to china for help . the day for the missile launch closes in. kerry is in china urging them to use their influence to get north korea to dime back the dangerous rhetoric. i am uma . we'll talk to greg who has more on this. greg? uma, we are hearing a new call for north korea to back off the plan for missile launch and that is coming out of the meetingings that secretary of state kerry held with president of china and

otherings in beijing. it is his second stop. according to cerpy, two countries are demanding that north korea refrain from provocative actings. china is north korea's principle ally and seen as key to get pyonggang back in line . we hear from new reports that the norths korea missile threat may be lessening. we -- they are saying there is no more movement. according to one source a launch is not impinent and we are hearing the same thing from a u.s. source here. preparations continue for the monday birthday celebration of the north korea founder, grandfather of kim jong-un and that date is seen as a possible window for the missile launch. there were more threats of war from north korea.

but some say with the new talk of dilog, north korea could be getting what it wantings. uma, i would be remiss if i did not report on the ltd. story out of south korea. psy, known from gang num rolled out the follow up. the title gentlemen and maybe behaviorial advice to the young leader up north. >> thank you very employ. kerry is calling this a will critical time for the korean peninsula. he would not to set up a road map for improved u.s.-chinese relation. >> also join together in calling on north korea to refrain from've provocations and abead by obligation. we discussed our shared interest in preventing iran

from securing a nuclear weapon. >> uma: joining us is governor mike huckabee. great to see you as always. >> great to see you uma. >> uma: over the past week china shows it is frustrated with the sabre rattling and saying no one should be allowed to throw a region in chaos but commina has not enforced sanctions. can the u.s. push china to take action. >> i think china will do it because it is in their best interest not to see the entire pacific realm blow up and become unstable. particularly with south korea and japan said if north korea will threaten we'll go nuclear. china doesn't want that. do i think china will be the nice big brother that pulls it

together. maybe, but it may not be for the reason we like to believe. >> uma: if we ask china to limit food and aid to north korea, could this give china a chance to force us to do concessions? >> i think that is a good question, uma, and one we need to be prepared for. they have us by the throat because of the debt we owe to them. the only thing we do have. we buy so much of their stuff. it is a matter of do they want to get into a trade war? no, they don't. it would wreck their economy . so everybody is in eight tight spot and no one wins here. but north korea has to be made to stand down and the only enity who can do that is

china. >> china wants this to choose. if a conflict breaks out with north korea. millionings of refugees will go in the border. that could be a economic burden. >> it would. the north korea have a disastrous economy because of everything in the military hardware and their people are reduced to eating lawn clippings while the president lives like a king . it is a horrible situation and they have electric power only part of the time. satellite photos reveal total darkness in north koreas and refugeeses pouring in china for them to have a happy meal among 20 people is the most food they would have in a month. that's not what china needs or what north korea wants. but north korea is behaving

badly like a infant in a crib with a loaded gun . north korea will not listen to us, south korea or un. they have to listen to chin a. they don't have a option. >> uma: china said north korea is acting like a sphoil would child. it is interesting . in the past beijing treated north korea with fear. with the fear of north collapsing there would be more of a u.s. interest in asia. >> i think china love to keep north korea in the yard, chained up like you would anangry pit bull dog. he's there just in case you ever need to. there comes a point when you have to tame and do mesticate

the angry dog. china is realizing under little kim has gotten out of control and they will have to step in and tell him, there is one thing to throw the tantrum but he is escalating it to a point where it is not cute or funny and he would not get concession and he could destabilize the pacific realm and the rest of the world. >>um fulm is it a sobering possibility. great to have you on the show today. >> thank you, uma, always a pleasure. >> uma: we urge you to watch huckabee he will takele the issue of healthcare . that is tonight at 8:00 eastern time right here on fox. breaking newings in the masters golf tournament. tiger woods penalized two strokings for something he did

600 billion . a 1:42 a.m.. we were call would to vote. it passed with only 8 dissenting votings. it is got to stop. >> uma: whatap -- concerns you more about the background checkings that you believe is really a clear violation . amendment and invasion of privacy. >> my concern with it, it restricts the laws -- rights of law-abiding citizen. all ofulse would like to eliminate sandy hook happenings. but this kind of law is confuse vague for the law-abiding, but it is easy for the criminals to get around. and a problem when we look at this, we see that legislation like this can't fix the problem. ine a universal background system can't work as a of the jo

reveals unless it is backed up by a universal system. it sets the stage for that. >> uma:ine though it is not written that there would not be a reg i feltry. >> it is prohibited. >> uma: you feel it is it going down dangerous path. >> it will move forward assume is past and people will see it is not working and we are not safer and we are not safer because of no registration. you can't track gun ownership without tracking the gun owners. people are not comfortable with that. who do they vote for or where they go to church or how often and what books they read. >> uma: we heard that background checks would have made no difference in the recent shootings that we had to talk about and for want

nation to grieve about . at the same time it is not background checkings alone that fix the problem. what about the mental health component. a lot of people say this is not addressed by legislators as a whole and they see it as a band aid to take advantage and show the public that something is done in light of the tragedies. >> times there is a impulse to pass legislation. something that needs to happen, doesn't mean it can be fixed with legislation and not all of those problems can be fixed . what can be done with regard to mentam health . you know, regulation of the practice of medicine and mental healthcaralings occurs in the state level and not at the national level. ip am open minded and i want to look at the proposals and prevent gun violence and respect the constitution.

i haven't seen a proposal that balance it properly and solve the problem in the process. >> uma: what is the next step for you. >> move forward in the debate in the senate and we'll have amendments and votes. it will remain to see if it has the vote to pass. we don't know what the legislation will look like by the time we get through the amendment process. >> uma: great to see you and thank you for joining us. >> thank you. >> uma: it is your turn to weigh in. are you concerned about the background checks on gun buyers can lead the government to tracking your gun. tweet us and i will read those responses later in the hour. >> bipartisan senate proposal sets 2011 for the cut off. it would make it legal to people who areiched here before 2012 .

about nuking guam or u.s. possession or alaska which is part of the united states and not the continental united states. when they start saying that and we have to take it very serious. part of the our problem is we have sequestitration and the president wants to go to nuclear zero and he's working it . we are not modernizing our nuclear forces and we sent two b-two and sent certain signals and they are reading the small print on what the united states is doing in our defense establishment . that's why it is it encouraging them to be more provocative. >> uma: what do we have to do to get the message that we, too, have what it takes and we am use whatever it takes if you go nuclear. >> i would move b-2s in guam and other forces in south korea quad rowns and without publicity, and they pick it up
