What I hope to bring should President Trump win this election is to help encourage that kind of courageous leadership, quite frankly, that he demonstrated in his last term in office. I represented Hawaii for eight years in Congress. The increased threat from North Korea is very real to us because for a long time we were the only ones that were within range of Korea's intercontinental ballistic missiles. They have now far surpassed that capability and now have nuclear weapons that are capable of being loaded on these missiles with a range that can reach anywhere in the United States. (06:55–07:07)
