RUSH EXCERPT:
BOLTON: “We’re at a crisis point because of the advances that North Korea has made in the last eight years, so Donald Trump inherits 25 years of a failed policy of negotiating North Korea out of these programs and his options are few and not very good.

PIRRO: “What is interesting is the fact that the president — and he’s been criticized for his rhetoric, but he’s making it very clear that he’s prepared and ready, locked and loaded, to defend the American people and our territories as well. What is wrong with that?”

BOLTON: “I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it. We’ve had 25 years of American politicians, Democrats and Republicans, standing up and saying solemnly, it’s unacceptable for North Korea to have nuclear weapons. Same thing for Iran. Now we’re being told by the same people that said we could negotiate North Korea out of these weapons, I guess we have to accept that they will have nuclear weapons. Susan Rice wrote about it this morning on television. She said, “I guess our policies failed.” Now they’re telling us that we do have to accept it. That’s not where Trump is and not where we should be as a people. We should not allow ourselves to be held hostages by this erratic regime and the threat of nuclear terrorism against our country.”
