. >> hi, i am jack dalrymple, governor of north dakota. where i live, we run government with common sense. we don't spend more money than we collect in revenue each year. we don't have generally obligation debt. and we only borrow when we have identified a revenue source to pay it back. these are big ropes why north dakota is doing so well compared to the rest of the nation. we have the lowest unemployment rate of all 50 states at 3.2%, and our prude fiscal management has allowed us to lower taxes each of the last three lidge slave sessions. we have lowered substantially our real estate taxes, our individual income taxes and even corporate income taxes. our growing budget surpluses allow us to make large investments in infrastructure and job growth. think of the wise investments our country could be making right now if the federal budget was managed as carefully. as a nation, what progress has been made to balance our annual budget deficit? have any real spending reductions been proposed by the democratic majority in the senate? has presid

obama said it would deepen the isolation of north korea.d also damage further relations and seriously undermine its relations with its neighbors, but there was no specifics at this point. mr. obama also said it was a missed opportunity. he was hoping that north korea would take a different path. the fact that they were talking to the united states, the fact there was a deal, they hoped they would be taking a different path but it is a missed opportunity according to mr. obama. another interesting thing i heard was obviously all the world wants to get these u.n. weapons inspectors into north korea. mr. obama said it would be difficult at this time of friction. randi? >> paula hancock, thank you very much for the latest on that and coming up in our main bar story, the health care bill is going to the supreme court tomorrow. we'll explain what's at stake for you. we'll be right back. thanks. you. these clothes are too big, so i'm donating them. how'd you do it? eating right -- whole grain.

they look north and realize a larger gap between north and south korea. they got pretty nervous about unification. the general review is the south put it off. the current president started saying we need to think about reunification. it may not be something they choose. it is possible the regime because their economy has collapsed, because their leaders of resistance -- could itself fall apart. if the collapse, the board -- the presumption is the become unified with south korea. it is possible. i think the u.s. and south korea have been preparing as much as we can for that to happen, happ. host: the next question comes from new jersey. good morning. caller: good morning. thank you. i am interested in the same question, about the people there starving to death. wouldn't it be better that we do not give anything to the government because they do not give anything to the people? the other question is how strong is china. are they really interested in resolving problems with north korea versus the americas? or do they have their own interest? guest: your ques

but for the north, the real war for north vietnam is still in south vietnam. and the communists during this period in the early '70s will intensify their guerrilla activity, particularly in rural areas, the southern part of the country that's heavily populated. and again, they're still looking to build their forces, to destroy south vietnam. and so, again, build forces. defeat their pacification efforts, defeat the pacification efforts of the americans, expand their base areas. here's what they're trying to do. but the communists have their problems here as well. this war has gone on a very long time. the protracted nature has an effect on us, but it also has an effect on the communists as well. and their cadres are getting tired. people are beginning to lose support particularly in the south, the communists fighting there. and it's increasingly difficult for the north vietnamese to recruit supporters in the south. land reform is happening in south vietnam is hurting their recruitment. the pacification programs are hurting them, and they begin to lose control

it was a conflict that began in 1754 in north america and through that beginning of the war in north america france and britain came to be at war with each other. and formally in europe france and britain went to war against each other in 1756. by that time, as we'll see, their colonies in north america and their forces in north america were already joined in conflict so to understand the french and indian war as it's traditionally called in american u.s. history and also the seven years war, one has to put it in a very broad perspective of north american history and even european history of course and looking beyond europe to the competition between empires, especially france and britain in various corners of the globe. the war would be fought in north america where it began. it was joined in europe on a large scale and involved nations such as russia, austria, prussia as well as france and britain. and of course it was fought in the caribbean as well, which was a major theater of conflict during the war. toward the end of the war spain would join on the side of france complicating

now from 1954 to 1959 the north concentrated on building its structures and building the regime of north vietnam. ho does some very typical way the communists did this when they first took over a place. you suppress all the groups in the country that aren't aligned with you. you begin the traditional communist practice of murdering any real opponents and also any someone's that you imagine to be opponents. they killed 100,000 people all in the name of land reform. that's mild numbers. now the communists at the same time they're doing this, they never abandoned the struggle against south vietnam. again, this is the first step. you've got north vietnam, yes, but the communists have not gotten what they really want. one of the primary ways they carry out their war during this period against south vietnam is something that becomes a primary tenant of the way they fight south vietnam all through the course of this is through something they called extermination of traders campaign. this is basically you kill any official or anybody that's against your regime or anybody that's useful to the sou

i'd like to follow up on the north korea threat on two fronts. the first is to follow up on the question my colleague had. can you be more specific from your perspective what the consequences would be that you would bring to bear on north korea should there be a rocket launch in terms of the overall relationship but also such as specifics such as food aid and knowings. i'm wondering if you can give us insights into whether you've developed an impression of north korea's new leader and whether you've been able to take a measure of the man. president lee, good to see you again. i want to ask you about the nuclear security summit. can you explain how it would have lasting credibility when the two major antagonists of north korea and iran are on the sidelines? >> well, first of all, with respect to the consequences should there be a launch by the north koreans, as president lee indicated, north korea is already under an extraordinary battery of sanctions. they are the most isolated country in the world. they are cut off from basic commerce and exchan

we have thousands of job openings in north dakota today. but almost every day the national media asks me if it is not all due to the oil boom in northwestern north dakota. i enjoy telling them that the county with the most job openings is not among western oil counties, but the counties surrounding fargo, our largest city and on the opposite side of the state. our technology parks around our research universities create great jobs by the thousands. advanced manufacturing as jobs in north dakota while most of the nation has lost manufacturing jobs. over the last 10 years, north dakota has been no. 1 in the nation in income and job growth. according to the u.s. chamber of commerce. why is our national economic policy on the wrong track? there are two main reasons. first, the federal government is unnecessarily adding to the cost of living and the cost of doing business in america. just one example is their cost of energy. the price of gasoline is rising rapidly because we continue to depend on foreign oil. it is now within our reach to become

the north koreans have announced they will launch a missile. we are working very closely with allies and other partners in the region to try to discourage north korea from launching this missile as they intended, but we believe that this reflects their lack of desire to follow through on their commitments, their international commitments, and so we have been forced to suspend our activities to provide nutritional assistance to north korea largely because we have now no confidence the monitoring mechanisms to ensure that the food assistance goes to the starving people and not the regime elite, that these monitoring mechanisms we have no confidence that they would actually abide by the understandings. >> we have suspended the nutritional. >> yes, we have, sir. >> general thurman, readiness is one of your top priorities, guidance shifts the focus to asia. today we haven't seen an increase in resources to reflect the pivot. we understand that each of our contingency plans is under review to assess the level of resources required, assuming you are e

in direct talks between dust and north korea last month, the north agreed to suspend uranium enrichment. the u.s. agreed to provide 240,000 tons of nutritional assistance. the u.s. is offering to send 20,000 tons of nutritional supplements per month mainly for infants and pregnant women. it wants a monitoring system to make sure supplies reach those in need. the focus of the meeting is on whether north korea will allow north korean speaking officials to organizations receiving the shipments. >> we have weather up next. >> hi, welcome back. we certainly had a very warm day here in tokyo. looks like things are going to be continuing this way for the next couple of days. much of japan except for the south and the north we had a winter storm system that brought us very snowy and windy conditions. that has passed away. but overnight tuesday yet another system will be moving in towards the area especially in northern japan. in the area much to have precipitation will be wintry mix. however, snow will be accumulating again and strong winds will be companied with it. eastern coast specially wil

and north korea was a reach last month why do you think north korea has broken the conditions of this deal so soon after agreeing to it and it must have known that such a move would provoke a strong reaction from washington. it could be the case of them testing the waters and seeing how far they can go with these agreements and certainly anyone who's been watching the situation in north korea for the last several years knows that north korea cannot be predicted and and all of them seem to be in a not in favor of their own country. country's interests but in same a certain way it does play into the i think that it's not a strategy of pyongyang which is to try to centralize more and more power in pyongyang and in king jong un and and that works to see the benefit on the more that the people are relying on pyongyang for their food aid the more centralized control they have over the country. all right what do you see in general for the future of the relationship between washington and pyongyang i think that's very much open to to speculation at the moment and it really does depend on the

and north korea. we also have a positive view of the results achieved by the talks. >> reporter: china wants to re-open the six-party talks. but it's facing many hurdles. one of them is monitoring north korea to make sure it lives up to its side of the agreement. another the convincing the u.s. that it's time to resume the negotiations. state department officials say they want to make sure a winning strategy is in place before they come to the table. it's clear the north koreans made this nuclear concession because they need the u.s. food aid. but it's unclear whether that will act the way the americans want them to. china's job as a mediator between the u.s. and north korea isn't getting any easier. >> how does this agreement compare to what we've seen in the past? >> well the interesting thing is that the u.s. and north korea released their statements at the same time. that's very rare. it's because both sides wanted results from this bilateral talks, i think. looking at the statement, two things st
