a crumbling state infrastructure and i remember watching greta van susteren visiting north korea to her show the things we have seen for years. into the early 90's fancy a country that many look at and think why isn't this place completely falling apart? what people fail to realize the reason we have these resource problems or the crumbling infrastructure is because the regime has taken all of the resources and hard currency and oil and villages city and they have sunk into the military supporting the lifestyle of their each. so there is the conundrum "defiant failed state"' based on the failed policy and every year you look at that it meets all the check marks but here it is. not only are they here but they present several key threats to u.s. natural interest. what i would like to address this evening are three key questions i hope i can answer the end of the evening. is north korea at a failing or failed state? to. is it capable to survive indefinitely? three. how does it give risk to east asia especially in the united states, its allies? >> it will be important to talk about the thin

david i listened to greta saying she thought putting the smell expert on was a huge mistake for the prosecution. your take? >>guest: yes, i agree. when the jury takes this case back into the deliberation room, the issue for them is going to be, did the child drown? or was the child murdered in a premeditated fashion. this testimony is a addition traction. no one will be thinking about whether, how the child ended up in the trunk. did the child decompose in the trunk or taken by this or that other person but the testimony could do more harm to the prosecution than anything i've seen yet because this man comes off as sort of a strange aspect, this expert witness, and it looks like he may have a financial interest in the discussion of his new technique, if you will, and that could wipe it out. if a jury finds he has a financial game, in bringing this new testimony in, goodbye. it is gone. >>trace: and, really,not about figure out if caylee anthony was in the trunk of the car, right? >>guest: i disagree. this is why. this is a circumstantial case. so it is piece upon piece. not one piece that will

>>shepard: some lawyers are saying including greta that the prosecutors said too much, trying to go down many roads. >> they are throwing everything up there. you cannot do that when you are a prosecutor. >> jurors like something that is very understand ability. they want a reason. prosecutors say all the time, we dent have to prove motive, but you know what? 12 human beings wanted a motive. she was a wild partying kid. a kid. casey anthony was a child herself who could not stand up to the responsibility of motherhood, and she get rid of the thing that was preventing her from having a party life. >> what would make more sense is the prosecution getting up and saying everything you just said but saying, and she snapped. not that she planned this out. not that she is, like, charms man -- charles manson. >> that is my trouble. >>shepard: randy, thank you, arthur, thank you both. volunteer search parties are joining a hunt for a missing indiana university student with a dangerous heart condition, 20-year-old last seen walking from a friend's apartment around 4:30 in the morning so late thurs

caller: good morning, greta. our troubles began when reagan took us off the gold standard.e print money at will. we do not have to have gold in fort knox to back it up anymore. in the meantime, they were spending money like crazy, and then as of september of last year, the congress of rhode $13 trillion out of social security, and over the years, since reagan, a bar at over $22 trillion out of medicare. if they want to save money, bring our troops home, put them on the borders, put them into the railways and airports for our security, bell said a $70 billion a year. plus the oil and ammunition and tanks that we're building, would be close to $2 trillion a year right there. what is going on is too many of our congress people, representatives, are too busy investing their money in hedge funds and on the gravy train. they could care less about the people of this country, what is going on is a sin. host: president obama picked a new commerce secretary. the pick made the front page of the financial times this morning. this is above the fold of the "financial times" this morning.

and, in fact, just last week i remember watching greta van susteren was visiting north korea and showing the same thing we've been showing for years, since general miat was there. and why isn't this place falling apart and what many people fail to realize is that the reason we have these resource problems, the reason we have this crumbling infrastructure because that regime has taken all their resources, hard currency, oil, electricity, et cetera, and they have sunk it into their military and in supporting the lifestyle of the elite and so thus we have that conundrum. a tefine failed state. a state that based on any of the pair times one would read, for example, in foreign policy which has the failed states index every year -- every year you look at that, north korea meets all the checkmarks and yet here they are. in fact, not only are they here but they present several key threats to u.s. national interests that i'd like to talk about this evening if i may and they're addressed in my book. so what i would like to address this evening are three key questions that i hope i'm able to answe

we talked to greta van u.s.ern yesterday, she said they're throwing stuff in there that's completelyessary to the case. >> i have to agree with her. i think it's not they're blowing it but fail to go fill the gaping homes they need to address like how did this baby die, why all these things like that, so what they're doing is parading a bunch of scientists on the stand of none of which is in dispute by the defense, and they're kind of destroying their credibility because a lot of these scientists are untested, they're not reliable, so it's maybe coming up on appeal, if we were to lose, or even with the jury, i think the jury has to question whether or not these science tests are valid. martha: because the basic bottom line in this case is why would -- why did tka*eusy -- kassy went her dead if indeed she did and how did she kill her. we're not leaving that addressed which leaves a door wide open for you guys. >> absolutely. i don't know how you can get beyond a reasonable doubt without answering those questions and so far they haven't touched them. it's almost as if they haven't hear
