the most recent test, it looks like it was of weapon 20 times the size of the americans used on hiroshima ones with a range long enough to hit the united states. and when we talk about the bomb exploded in september last year, that was a hydrogen bomb. that is pretty serious because i think there are only a small number of countries, i think this 56, that have a hydrogen bomb. can the world live with —— i think it is five or six, that have a hydrogen bomb. can the world live with this? yes, people like president trump last year, talking about fire and fury, he would say north korea is too unique, too bizarre, it is 1984 and if they have them which are genuinely be scared, but in the cold war we learned to live with the soviet union with nuclear weapons, china got them during the cultural revolution, pretty scary time, so we have adapted, and my own sense is we can adapt to north korea with nuclear weapons but it is certainly the most dangerous state with them, thatis the most dangerous state with them, that is certainly true. these two leaders are quite similar, pronto angry outbursts, un

intelligence estimated the device was many times more powerful than the bomb which destroyed hiroshimahecker: their confidence level, you know, is amazing. i mean, it's amazing. they go and show this thing, and two hours later they detonate this weapon. >> martin: hecker knows as much as any american about north korea's nuclear program. he's actually been there and seen it for himself. >> hecker: i was immensely surprised by how much they showed me, and with the openness with which they showed and explained that to me. >> martin: in 2004, the north koreans took him to a place called yongbyon, where they had been operating a small nuclear reactor. >> hecker: this is a reactor that was not very good for producing electricity, but it was very good for making plutonium. >> martin: after showing him the reactor, the north koreans took him to a building where they claimed to be reprocessing spent fuel from the reactor into weapons-grade plutonium. >> hecker: they just showed me the facility and basically said, "look, you have to believe us, we extracted the plutonium." >> martin: did you bel

weapon, they are still referring to nuclear weapons comparable to the nuclear bomb that destroyed hiroshima in the second world war. there is no such thing as a low-yield nuclear weapon. a nuclear weapon is a nuclear weapon, and they are fundamentally diffe tn any her tool of war. they destabilize, they annihilate, they force others to do the same. this is where the term mad, mutually assured destruction, comes from. and for these reasons, they should never be used and we should never falter in the ongoing struggle to reduce and eventually eliminate the danger nuclear weapons pose to the world. but instead, the tmp administration wants new nuclear weapons. and, unfortunately, its efforts to develop new, more usable low-yield nuclear weapons like the w-76-2 seem to be driven more by political requirements than by military requirements. our military commanders didn't ask for this or any other new nuclear weapo. instead the trump administration told them they were getting this new low-yield nuclear weapon in its nuclear partial review earlier this year which needlessly expanded our nuclear war

that bomb they dropped in the ocean was bigger than hiroshima. we need to make progress here.tart. i'm tired of thenitive dissidence on both sides, neil. neil: i'm -- i do find it odd we got to this point kim jong-un has lied and cheated so often in the past and built in nuclear arsenal his bad behavior is getting him pretty good treatment. try to explain that to your kids, if one is doing everything he should, and t oer guy isn't, and the other guy that isn't is getting all the good stuff? >> neil, one of the things i think we kind of ignore in the situation with north korea is the dynamic. if we were dealing with some kid, american kids w have been raised with right and wrong and know not to hit, kick, bite and punch, make mistakes, that doesn't make sense. we're talking about a dictatorship a regime literally still has gulags and things we haven't heard of for almost 100 years at height of the communism and all of that. so i lik temper the expectations. it is in the that i was looking for, you know, basically sex on the first date. they just met. this is their first time lo
