General Motors. Bankruptcies currently winning. What should the US do about North Korea is one that just popped up. Isolation 88%. And also we have the issue of -- might or will she win confirmation easily be tough. -- past votes that you can weigh in on. And we have comments. I will not buy a new car from any government says bill in Connecticut thanks bill. We start though with North Korea and let's bring in our panel gives them Steve Hayes senior writer for the weekly standard AB Stoddard associate editor of the hill and syndicated columnist Charles Krauthammer. North Korea . Obviously has launched a series of missiles at least five that we know over the past few days at an underground nuclear test. And now we are waiting to see what comes out of the UN Security Council if anything. First let's check in with the Pentagon national security correspondent Jennifer Griffin. Jennifer what do they stand there at the Pentagon this whole North Korea situation.

have contingency plans for everything. And they obviously have a plan for North Korea but even behind the scenes when you walk through that nineteen and a half miles a quarter were there. What what are

of caution those ships have been launched by the navy's South Korea's a move is not moving troops around. So you that you're hearing a lot of hot rhetoric but. I would say in the hallways here that they are down -- that being said I did get one piece of information at the end of the day. Would suggesting that the latest Intel is seeing some steam rising from the young beyond nuclear plant it's not clear what that -- is they're analyzing it. But it could suggest you know activity starting. And the potential re processing starting. At that young -- that in North Korea .

over several days of sort of laughing a little bits and treating North Korea like a grumpy child is is while we know they are working. Feverishly behind the scenes to extract more pressure from particularly

Scott says why is the UN doing nothing about North Korea it you know Steve we've seen this this and a packed full -- Many times we've we spend this plane before I

they -- while. I think you know in some ways hurting North Korea's economic. Standing. You know I haven't strangled. The regime there. And I and I and I agree with Indian Nat -- Troubled by the administration's response to this both booked for school respected to Jennifer important what people are saying inside the Pentagon. -- that the administration was looking at North Korea before that you were call it Stephen Bosworth who was the special envoy. In into North Korean matters the world to the six party talks. So that he was relatively relaxed. About this he said that just within the past couple of weeks. I'm not relaxed just because North Korea has a crazy man running the country. Doesn't mean that we can afford to treated as a second or third order threat I mean this -- is ongoing but all. Signs are pointing that this was actually nuclear bomb that detonated under the ground here in North Korea and -- embezzlement and now it's it's a third the size of Hiroshima. That's a serious nuclear explosion yeah it was I'm not last -- some people said well -- in October of 2006 and some people said. Well wasn't real task and it wasn't really successful we don't need to be alarmed about it this one I think we do need to be alarmed about it. You also have if that case since the market mentioned much the other media coverage this. Yeah it is a fact. That North Korea is a serial proliferate here and they're not proliferating too you know Britain or they're not -- proliferating countries that are friendly the United States. It is that North Korea was caught red handed sending at least nuclear technology. The know how perhaps the personnel. To Syria. A state sponsor of terror I mean this is a big deal. And you even have chosen us secretary of state Hillary Clinton raising and hearing that it wasn't confirmed that North Korea was in fact a nuclear power. It's just interesting dynamic here I have a question for you Charleston Ohio what about Japan's

our senior White House correspondent Major Garrett and major we're talking about North Korea and the new administration's response. What's your sense behind the scenes there of how things are are going this.

tantrum it's a way to get attention. That's not going to advance North Korea's interest as if the north Koreans have broad interest that it's seeking to achieve with the international community there's no evidence of that hasn't been for more than a decade. North Korea is isolated there's almost no level of economic sanctions that haven't been applied and there's no record or evidence to believe they've
