joining us now is peter brookes, former cia officer and a senior fellow at the heritage foundation. you write that the possibilities in north korea a lot like a holiday present, beautifully wrapped but they could turn out to be a disappointment . what do you mean? >> well, there's a number of courses that are ahead of us and north korea is so enigmatic, jon. we're all trying to read the tea leafs right now to see what we're getting. whether kim jong-un is in charge or in charge with an uncle and aunt of his and with the military. there is a lot of questions. i see three scenarios and they're very basic. one, we see the status quo. things continue along as they have. a good thing would be if they opened up and reformed and gave, you know, liberties and democracy and free markets to the north korean people. i don't necessarily think that's going to happen. the other concern is that things could get worse. you could have instability. you could have a civil war. kim jong-un could want to prove to himself, to has people and to the world that he is, this is a country that is not to be mes

peter brooks, thank you very much. we appreciate you coming on. jon. jon: fox news alert.numbers just out as we head into the 2012 campaign this. is an interesting one. you cannot vote for justices on the supreme court, but whoever wins the presidential race the next time around will also decide who gets to make any new nominations, in fact the nominations himself or herself. how do voters rate the current supreme court? a brand-new poll finds 27% thinks the court is doing a good job. 5% say it's excellent. take a look at that, 42% give a fair rating. 21% say the court is doing a poor job. independent pollster scott rasmussen is president of rasmussen reports.com. i was intrigued by this report, scott, because as i mentioned you don't vote for the supreme court, but it is a critical part of our daily life. there are a couple of aging members of the supreme court and whoever wins this next election might have the chance to make one, maybe two, maybe more appointments. >> absolutely. on top of that we will see critical issues decided perhaps before the election. the question

brook. he talked to her about the harvest from her seed. and he painted on her mind a picture of her future. in mark chapter 10 jesus heard petermuttering something. and he says -- this is what he said. "we've given up everything to follow you." and jesus could have said, "right. three catfish and a boat," but he didn't. jesus looks at peter and he makes an incredible statement. he said, "anything you give up for me you will get it back 100 times." what was he doing? he was giving him a motive for sowing. motive means reason for doing something. motivation. he painted a picture. "whatever you give up for me will come back 100-fold during this lifetime, and life everlasting." malachi 3 is a fascinating chapter. as god begins to paint a picture about bringin' him an offering... and notice that he didn't say -- have you read malachi 3? i know you have. he didn't say, "bring me an offering."
