speak, us forces are liberating the philippine city of malawi from a terrorist sees and secretary matus had said that ending the main counterterrorism operation in the southern philippines in 2014 was premature. i agree with him. and that doing so has made it difficult to resource our current efforts in that area. i personally think it's time toreestablish a named operation . what are your opinions on that? >> the violent extremists, just to fall in line with where we can find them, by, with and through others, we need to defeat them. if confirmed, and this is an area where i will invest the time to understand our commitments in terms of resources and our ability to undertake those type of efforts. >> i appreciate that because we have for a long time taken our eye off that region and they continue to grow and develop in southeast asia so i appreciate that. as i'm sure you know our aircrews continue to experience physiological episodes and in high performance aircraft.the 22, 1845, and now the 35, yet we still haven't found a fix for that. this morning the air force announced it was test

to decipher and i would wish, therefore, okay, there's a very strong security team so hr mcmasters, matus, tillerson will be a strong sector estate so there's a big team they are serious people and they'll think through the christmases before we take action. at the same time, we have people in palo alto and asked san francisco asked if kim jong-un could launch a nuclear missile and if you asked someone even on the campus of josÉ, what, no. absolutely not. what risk would you be prepared to take to prevent that? they don't want to take risks but they don't want it to happen. i think it's quite possible that this is a visceral sense that he has that i have to stand for something and i stand for a great america that is strong and will not allow a little country like that to do this. and if china doesn't help solve the problem then i will. i would not discount the proposition that if the train district john train continues on the track we will see not just a credible threat to attack but will see him attack. we'll see where that leads. if you study the missile cuban missile crisis we look at

positiveen hearing things about mcmaster and also somewhat, matus. but the key is, is the president listening? is he listening to their advice? tweeting is not foreign policy. [applause] we need a sound foreign policy with thoughtful minds engaged and forward-looking and building those partnerships like the senator said, with others like china, who can really make an influence because of that tweetingrelationship is not a foreign policy and i have been very concerned about the state department and the budget cuts to the state apartment. we need diplomacy now more than ever and a significant cuts to thestate department and senior staffers that have left the state department are creating a big gap in what we need in international diplomacy. i note there is a new deputy secretary of state getting some positive reception with state department people, but for now we need that now more than ever. i am very much opposed to the cuts to the state department that is a good investment to make sure we have the minds and the people with the experience weighing in

to be in the hands of mcmasters at national security and defense, and matus at we are in good hands. everybody very reassuring. certainly on the economy, the economy is good. growth than amore lot of the skeptics think. all of the numbers are not terrible, there's definite complete, and i mean complete in a pragmatic but stimulating way, there was up in his him. that optimismhare or are you at odds with the consensus you found there? barry: yes. for business, there's no reason not to be optimistic. this is a row my our resources and our basic way has othering business than pockets from south korea and technology, certainly china in certain areas, nobody compares within a thousand miles -- 12,000 miles. so i do. scarlet: that was barry diller speaking earlier on bloomberg markets. let's get a check now of the headlines on bloomberg first word news with mark crumpton. mark: president trump is reacting to senate republicans pulling a repeal and replace health care plan after they failed to gain the necessary republican votes to pass the bill. during a lunch with service members at the w

it is clear from what defense secretary matus said there will be a catastrophe if we go to war.t the entire fad system needs to be installed. they stopped after one battery was put in. the system needs to be deployed in south korea. finally we have enough conventional assets to deter all of north korea into a pop tart. stuart: we don't want to do that. lieutenant colonel oliver north. >> we will try all of those first. stuart: thank you very much. oliver north, host of war stories on the foxbusiness network. did you know that the most followed journalist on twitter by members of congress is fox news in your capitol hill producer, he has more than 51,000 followers on social media, most of dc's following him, he will join us shortly. later, coming around the corner, she is holding it, the obamacare -- there you go. following that around for seven years. are we ever really going to get rid of obamacare? my answer is no. let's she what she says. ♪ >> so many store closings and retail jobs being lost, the bureau of labor statistics is 71,000 jobs have been lost since january. amazon
