Harvey now in louisiana and it could travel as far north as the ohio valley threatening cincinnati. Potentially the costly its Natural Disaster in u. S. History 160 billion is what one estimate pegs it at and now another storm barreling in potentially hurricane irma. What better way though to help americans heal than with jobs and economic growth. Thats what President Trump wants he was in americas heartland today kicking off a major push for tax cuts. Springfield, missouri the first place of route 66. This is main street america. Welcome to risk reward im elizabeth macdonald. Well lets take you to port arthur texas. It is 91 miles east of houston. It was hit with a flash flood. 40 inches of rain since yesterday. The mayor now says the whole city is under water. It is ground zero of hurricane harvey. Officials there are calling conditions dire and 55,000 residents flooded out of their homes. House fires reported, 20,000 homes had six feet of water inside. Port arthur residents picked up and fled, many in pajamas many barefoot many now in desperate survival mode and now the nations Largest Oil Refinery located in port arthur has shutdown. A full fifth, thats 20 of the nations Refining Capacity now halted. This as President Trump kicked off a major push for tax reform to create jobs and boost the economy today. He was in americas heartland, springfield, missouri. President trump so this is our once in a Generation Opportunity to deliver real tax reform for every day hard working americans and i am fully committed to working with congress to get this job done and i dont want to be disappointed by congress, do you understand me . Liz this as Second Quarter gdp was revised upwards and hit President Trumps goal of 3 . Now remember president obama was the only president in u. S. History to never have a year of 3 gdp growth, despite Government Spending gone industrial and just last month, 237,000 jobs were added, that was up from 201,000 jobs in july , but i want you at home to think about this. Now if President Trump is able to add just one more percentage point of gdp growth making it 4 , that would be another 185 billion added to the economy, capital to create more jobs and more money for average americans, but first, our own Hillary Vaughn who is in port arthur, texas where the situation, hillary, its been described as dire. Hillary . Rick liz, well this rescue operation started at 1 00 a. M. With one volunteer boat helping out the entire Fire Department rescue people in this community but i want to introduce you to sandra cruz who lived in port arthur her entire life and about to head to a shelter but i wanted to get your thoughts sandra what did it feel like while you were waiting to be rescued what was going through your mind . Scared. Scared because the water kept coming up and coming up and i know they have so many people to rescue, but i just prayed and i was scared. I cried and i just they tell me when i was leaving i was happy and like i said, that guy come and told us they had somebody come get us i called him my guardian angel. Thank you, sandra this is just one story of many, liz of people who have been rescued and you can see there is a lot of people lined up, some with kanes and wheelchairs so it is not that the rescue operations are over and certainly people who need to be rescued are still there because theyre coming in in all different types and really, weve seen this all day. Hundreds and hundreds of people from this community have been rescued and the difference between this situation from others that weve seen earlier this week. This entire community is under water. Its not just a suburb or a neighborhood. This is affecting all of port arthur. We got an update from mayor free man today. He said that the National Guard is getting ready to head out. Weve also seen air force crews head out on the water. The coast guard is in the air monitoring the situation, finding people that still need to be rescued. Theyre loading people up in dump trucks, bringing as many people as they can. Anything that can drive and anything that can float, theyre taking that out to rescue people still a lot of people in need and again weve seen this situation for the past few days. Theyre chasing daylight because it is hard to rescue people. I talked to the first boatman here, volunteer guy helping out the Fire Department and he said at 1 00 a. M. He was navigating these waters with flashlights. The only way he could locate people was by hearing them scream and shout for help. Some were able to flash their porch lights on and off but again many people didnt have power. I do want to kind of bring you over here. A lot of pets have been abandon ed here and we have a batch of newborn kittens right here that they found on a boat. They were abandoned while the boat was sinking and theres also several puppies and dogs here, but these little kittens are one of the many pets that probably have been left behind, liz, and really, theyre prioritizing people. People need to get out and a lot of times they dont have time and they dont have the ability to bring their pets with them. Liz . Liz what a story hillary night is falling, hillary what can we expect tonight . Operations will continue. Weve seen more refined operations ramp up like i mentioned the air force is here the coast guard is here so theyre outfitted with the type of technology that these boats would need to navigate the water s safely but again, a lot of hazards lie underneath the water. There are street signs, there are fire hydrants, there are cars that these boats could run into and that could cause the rescue crews to capsize and those crews would need to be rescued. I was talking to some of the First Responders on the team and they said overnight, the current was raging. They said if someone was in that water they were going to be ripped away. One man told me that a woman was walking with the water up to her neck holding her child on her shoulders and he said if they had been there five minutes later the current would have taken it with them so overnight we do expect the current to pick up again and they will continue these operations until everyone is out and they are lucky that they now have the backup of the coast guard, the air force, the National Guard with the technology that allows these nighttime rescues to move forward. Liz boy hillary what a reporter youve been at this for days now. Weve got to get to the potential gas price spike youve been reporting on in port arthur s main refinery. Its the biggest in the country i think right . Yes. Liz were hearing 0. 35 it could go higher in terms of gas prices we saw that after hurricane katrina. As soon as it hits the new york city area or up the east coast some places 0. 50 or higher, what do you think hillary . Well, to our count liz 12 refineries in the state have been shutdown and the reason why we were initially here is because we were headed to americas largest refinery which is under water like everything you see, around it is basically a lake of water in as accessible and thats wienie had to shutdown operations and they said they wont be opening up operations until the water has dissipated which could take weeks, it could take months, so this is a huge chunk of u. S. Refining capability that were seeing shutdown, stalled completely and that of course is going to have a Ripple Effect on consumers and were going to see that at the pump but right now, there has been a large stockpile of fuel theyve been able to set aside. Experts and analysts who know this say there are about 23 days of fuel stockpiled that should be able to get this surrounding area through but once those 23 days run out, and if the refineries arent able to open up again, then that creates of course more problems. Liz Hillary Vaughn through so much for your reporting please stay safe okay . Thank you. Liz President Trump visiting one of springfield, missouris biggest most important manufactures. Its the lauren cook Company Founded by its namesake. Look at this 76 years ago in 1941. Its a u. S. Manufacturer that employs 1000 workers. Now its seen numerous recessions it has a global reach even as far as china. Their chairman and ceo jarod cook joins me now. Good to see you sir. Thank you very much. Liz how was the visit with the president. What did you like in his tax piece today . Well, i thought it was excellent and what i can experience myself over 53 years being in this business, ive seen all these jobs and manufactures leave. When i first started manufacturing 53 years ago, i could purchase all my Component Parts for equipment in the United States. I cant do that now. I think if he can get his tax cut through along with a lot of the deregulations, a lot of these manufactures that left will be back for an example, motors, electric motors. You cant buy electric motor hardly in the United States. Youve got to go to china or mexico. Ball bearings you cant buy and then the big tragedy is big cnc equipment that are like a Million Dollars or whatever thats made overseas somewhere and i think with the tax cut, a lot of these people will be coming back creating jobs and will be good for america. Liz you know, gerald the president says hes trying to take action and the tax cut speech and Jobs Creation speech, you know hes being criticized by some in the media saying hes been not empathetic enough theyre interpreting his words in a certain way and gerald, your company youve seen so much and youve seen it im sure that after a Natural Disaster, you hear these sort of check the box speeches from president s. The flowery pretty rhetoric, the lip biting speeches. Exactly. Liz but words do not create jobs, right . Action creates jobs. What matters is action, right . Thats correct. I think things are moving so good right now with President Trump just hope in america and hope in manufacturing. We have over 1100 people that are on commission around the United States and international and these people are all pumped up. I really believe that my company is the barometer and everyone is excited. My business is going up. Hes creating a lot of i think good things. I dont know if i answered that right. Liz gerald to your point President Trump again called for a 15 Corporate Tax today. Lets take a listen id like your reaction. President trump ideally and i say this for our secretary of the treasury, we would like to bring our business tax rate down to 15 which would make our tax rate lower than most countries, but still by no means, the lowest unfortunately in the world, but it would make us highly competitive. Liz you know, ireland turned itself into a tax haven with the 12 rate and the kelsey tiger, boom should democrats be for this . You know this gerald. Democrats going back to the 50s for Smaller Government and tax cuts entrepreneurs all the way up to 2008. Go ahead. No that is correct and as you well know and everyone were the highest Tax Corporation taxes in the world of 35 . Even if you get down to 15 like he said theres other countries. Ireland being one at 12 and the list goes on and on, so i think that will create a lot of jobs and it will be good for our manufacturing base. We here in springfield are unionized with the united steelworkers and the majority of the people are for trump. They realize what the situation is. Ive been in this business for 53 years and ive never had a layoff. Even when the economy went. Id have too much passion to lay anybody off and we got through okay. We also where it would help my company is in hospitalization. We pay full hospitalization for the employee, the spouse and their children. They dont pay anything. A small deductible, unheard of. That would lower my costs for the taxes and i would hopefully i can continue to pay this. Liz thats a good point. You know, the media and these left wing pundits and analysts, they complain that, you know, the real effective rate is probably 20 . They ignore time and again the gigantic ic tax industry that your companies, the Companies Like yours have to contend with tax accountants, tax preparers. You make that universe out and you could use that money to create more jobs and you know the other thing too is gerald president obama on the campaign trail said that President Trump watched this. Obama said you know what . Trump wont do it. He can never do it. Hes never going to bring manufacturing jobs back. Lets take a listen. Hes going to bring all these jobs back. Well how exactly is he going to do that . What are you going to do . Theres no answer to it. He just says well im going to negotiate a better deal. Well, how exactly are you going to negotiate that . What magic wand do you have . Liz so is trump helping to bring manufacturing jobs back in america . Pardon me im sorry. Liz is President Trump helping to bring manufacturing jobs back in america . Yes, absolutely. Hes already created what since hes in office 1 million new jobs am i correct on that . Liz yeah more than a million something along those lines. Hes got the gdp up to 3 . Thats first time since, boy i dont know it goes way back. Obama never got it over two or maybe over two. Never got to three and another jump in gdp. Its just going to create a lot of good jobs. Liz thats the good thing let me just jump in here because again the media is saying well the rate of job growth under trump is the same as obama. Trump is doing it with just regulatory roll back. He doesnt even have an agenda in there, right . Absolutely. No question about it. Liz gerald cook. Thank you very much. Liz you can finish your thoughts. I was just going to say i dont know what they are, just kidding its the regulatory if you can dial that back, hes already creating a lot of jobs. Liz gerald cook its great to see you thanks so much for coming on the show. Really appreciate you, sir. Thank you very much appreciate it. Liz sure. Next up we have this story for you.

Weve got the video and shes here to talk about it but first as you heard the nations Largest Oil Refinery in port arthur, texas shutdown. The mayor there now says the whole city is under water.

Liz well the human and perm loss attributed to Tropical Storm harvey it continues to mount. The official death toll now 21 local officials expect that number to rise as the waters recede. Fox news shepherd smith is here with the latest good to see you shepherd. Reporter good to see you too first on fox business were going live above beaumont, texas tracy is live there now. Live to you. Reporter ill tell you we are over beaumont texas and you can look down at my protographer can show you that man oh, man, were talking about hundreds and hundreds of homes inundated and what these helicopters are doing is theyre going out and rescuing people sometimes by basket, sometimes shutdown a highway and pick up a bunch at onetime. These guys here are waving to a potential rescuer right here sneaking through and theyre going to get these 911 calls and then the dispatcher kind of forwards them to Border Protection and the marine and air unit and they go out and they check out the calls. Theyve been doing this all day long shepherd. I mean 10 or 11 times they go out for an hour, hour 45 they bring people back. Sometimes they need to bring them to the hospital. Other times they bring them to shelters but they are constantly in process and if you look up you can see another blackhawk helicopter going by here and the home is that you want to get these people on boats first preferably because its a task trying to get to them and these baskets lifted into the blackhawk but sometimes they just arent mobile so you have to lower the basket and you have to bring them up. It is a stunning orchestration of air power. We were just at the airport and you drop them off, they fill you back up with gas and you take back off again and we cant hear anything. I mean, i hope you can hear me because we have been kind of following these guys and when they take you out and they take you to a highway or they take you to a home and youve got people waving, it is absolutely a sight because this guy, the power is being brought down over the house and stays there with precision and lifts people up for, you know, for 1520 minutes in the same position and yet it is extremely dangerous because youve got power lines as you can see. Youve got all kinds of opticals around there, so this is one of those maneuvers that has to be right on and as we scream around here, shep, you can see were looking for people on these roof s and so far we havent seen anybody but these addresses that we are over right now have called into emergency shelters saying they need help. Shep . Reporter when you look out over, its incredible to see how much flooding there is. It really is. I mean, we were over in houston this morning and we flew over from lake conroe here its about a 40 minute flight and as soon as you get out of houston you can see the water levels are dropping but man you start going toward port arthur and beaumont and the water levels rise and there are subdivisions after subdivision after subdivision that are just absolutely inundated like that but look at some of these homes here and the problem you have is that you cant get these people to a rode so you have to pick them up with the blackhawk helicopter. Reporter first on fox business, trace stay with us because when we finish on fox business we want to take you to Fox News Channel so stay right there with us. Trace gallagher above beaumont. Authorities are telling us theyre investigating 17 more deaths they believe may be related to harvey to take the official death toll to 38 if so continuing coverage on fbn throughout the afternoon. Back to you. Liz shepherd thank you so much that sounds like the death toll could be almost doubling thank you so much really appreciate that. Next up we do have this economic report for you, want to take you to this story about u. S. Consumer confidence, despite all of this and whats happening in texas, it did hit its second highest level since 2000. That study that analysis was done we believe before this disaster struck. There is optimism about the economy, steady hiring, unemployment at a 16 year low, in addition to inflation still staying low, home price appreciation coming up in strong and stock market gains still too Many Americans working part time jobs and the administration trying to address that. Next up Houston Police catch 14 robbers and looters, many of them armed with guns, stealing and looting during this catastrophic flooding. We have Texas Attorney general ken paxon to react but first the media is calling out the president s visits to texas accusing him of not being empathetic enough with displaced texans and those who have passed away or have victims in their families. My next guest says the american people, they dont want to hear about that. They want to hear what the president has to say about heal ing the country. The conservative millennial is here speaking out after this. Weve become quite accustomed to seeing president s em far thighs with the victims is it fair to judge President Trump on the lack of empathy . Very little in terms of empathy from this president very little in terms of emotion or talking directly to the people of texas. You know, i dont think that he understands the human scale of misery. I dont think he can connect with the sort of compassion that you normally have when you see a disaster like this. Liz so, this was the medias take on President Trumps visit to texas tuesday. This is tear take on the federal governments response in the areas in texas slammed by harvey much of the Mainstream Media coverage attacked the president saying he didnt have any empathy for the people who passed away and the victims families in texas. You know, here is the thing the president did say in another speech today all of america is grieving with you, our hearts are joined with yours forever. Also the white house and the governments response, two dozen federal agencies on the ground in texas. Thats 12, 400 federal workers directly working on the disaster in texas including the pentagon, the u. S. Coast guard and hhs. Joining me now is a conservative millennial alley bastucki. You heard the medias comments about the president s remarks in texas what were your thoughts . Yes, well thanks for having me liz. What many people in the media dont realize is that by focusing on trumps minor imperfections when it comes to Disaster Relief is that theyre actually the ones distracting from the humanitarian side of this and if he cared so much about whats empathetic and whats not why dont they show empathy by focusing on the humanitarian side and shed a little bit more light about all of the causes in texas that are helping the people that are affected by this hurricane, but instead, they are the ones politicizing this disaster, by constantly harping on everything this president is and isnt doing as far as vocabulary goes in order to help the people of houston and people of texas. Liz alley and we checked and those media pundit commentary there, they did not bring up the white house and the federal response, two dozen federal agencies more than 12, 400 federal workers working for texas. Nothing about that. Exactly and he is a result focused president. That is who we chose, thats who he is so he is focusing on inspiration and encouragement rather than consolation and in my opinion that attitude reflects the attitude of million s of texans. Thats who we are. We need a leader whose going to give us confidence. We are action focused we dont wait for the government to bail us out. We certainly dont waste our time with selfpity. We help ourselves and those around us and right now we need a leader whose going to take action and thats what trump is doing. Liz here is the president s take on the texas state slogan. Dont mess with texas. It sounded like he took it to heart when he talked about the recovery for the state. President trump we love you, you are special, were here to take care and make sure it goes well and i want to thank you for coming out. Were going to get you back and operating immediately, but do you know what it happened to texas and texas can handle anything. Liz does that sound like it lacked empathy . I dont think so. I think he understands the heart and the spirit of texas. Thats who we are. We want to be mobilized. We want to be encouraged to take action. Not that there isnt ever a time for compassion and for sympathy absolutely, but i think thats how hes communicating it by saying we hear you. We understand you, were with you were going to get you back on your feet which is very similar to the reaction that bush had after 9 11. I dont think this has anything to do with lacking empathy. It might lack the emotional side that the left seems to place so much value on but to me, emotional rhetoric doesnt save near as many lives. Liz has there detestation of President Trump swamp their objectivity . I think absolutely and unfortunately, in this case, it is taking away precious airtime from the causes that are actually helping the people in houston and in texas. Liz good to see you alley thank you so much for coming on. Thank you. Liz breaking news, tax reform by the end of the year . Thats what billionaire warren buffet said to our very own liz claman. Ive never heard anybody describe a tax move as tax reform that their own taxes were going to increase so i dont think were talking about tax reform, [laughter]. Reform for one person is Something Else to the other person, but it looks like were moving more and more toward an overall tax cut. Liz so, hes basically saying an overall tax cut could happen by the end of the year and he said that also in the same interview. Coming up, we have a Berkeley College republican cornered in her car with her friends last weekend by socalled antifaciis t groups. Weve got the video shes here to talk about it but first Houston Police catch 14 rob turpitudes and looters. Many of them armed with guns, stealing during this catastrophic flooding in houston Texas Attorney general ken paxto n is here to react after this.

This is a live shot President Trump arriving back to joint base andrews after making a speech pushing tax reform today in springfield, missouri. Lets get back to houston. Police catching 14 robbers and looters many of them armed with guns, stealing during the catastrophic flooding in houston this is the state of texas and were welcoming city but we arent going to tolerate people victimizing especially commit ting armed robberies in a community. Were going to catch you. Liz the mayor of houston Sylvester Turner ordered nighttime curfew within the houston city limits and no one allowed outside from midnight to 5 a. M. This again after Police Caught 14 robbers and looters, many of them had guns. Theyre trying to steal during this catastrophic flooding others were sizingup evacuated homes as potential targets. Houston authorities cracking down promising more prison time if anybodys caught doing this. Now earlier in the week we brought you the story of a local houston Business Owner and he watched his store getting looted via web cameras while sitting at home. He was frustrated and helpless so Samir Abraham posted these people are taking advantage of the weather robbing us blind since last night. We tried to get there last night but could not reach it, our store due to the floods. Lets bring in Texas Attorney general ken paxon, good to see you sir. Thanks liz appreciate it. Liz were you shocked to see the looting . You know, we have a lot of great volunteers, hundreds if not thousands of people volunteering in texas and risking their lives to save people but theres always a group that thinks they can take advantage of people and this is unfortunate but it happens and were working really hard to make sure we catch them. Liz here is another scary story for locals. Houston officials warn that robbers are impersonating Homeland Security agents. Theyre knocking on doors telling people to evacuate so they can steal from their homes. Now what can be done about that . Well obviously another horrible thing going on. I think people need to make sure they ask for identification and make sure they verify that theyre being, what a horrible thing to do when people are in crisis and potentially at risk for losing their lives. Liz how do you stop looting when theres so much devastation and so many places that resources need to be . You know, its a great question and obviously it is a challenge given the fact that we have all this flooding and were trying to save peoples lives and its unfortunate while were trying to literally pluck people from just horrible dangerous situations, we have to deal with this but there is also a reality that were going to catch some of these people and were out looking for them as well because we have air resources now, weve got boats and some of these people get caught and theyre put away in prison for a long time. Liz sir we have this story for you best buy the big retail chain apologizing. A photo spread online of one of its houston area Stores Selling case of Water Bottles for 42 when those cases usually go for less than half that. Now the original tweet said, one houston resident sent me a picture of water he saw being sold for 42 at the nearby best buy. They were kind enough to offer 29 bottles too. Take a look at best buy stock ended the day basically in the red. Sir, best buy says a local worker made a mistake. That worker added up the cost of each individual bottle but this and best buy says it was a terrible mistake and thats not anything that it endorses and really apologizes for it but mr. Paxon, what are you hearing about price gouging in the area . Well look, it is a real problem. I do think best buy had a mistake with one employee. Theyve called us and apologized i dont think this is indemic to their particular company but we do have hundreds of incidents of price gouging on fuel, water, food, hotels. We actually had a reporter come in and he showed where he was charged three times more than he should of at a best western and within a day when we notified best western they revoked the guys best western franchise, so were getting to these people and were i think having an impact on the number of price gouging incidents. Liz attorney general paxon, thank you so much for your time sir. Appreciate it. Keep us in your prayers. Liz yes we will next up a Berkeley College republican cornered in her car with her friends last weekend by socalled antifaciist ryers. Weve got the video and shes here to talk about it. Berkeley College Republican ash ton whitty is here to talk about this heroing experience with her friend right there. Coming up next dont go away. Rethink whats possible. Rethink your allergy pills. Flonase sensimist allergy relief helps block 6 key inflammatory substances with a gentle mist. Most allergy pills only block one. And 6 is greater than one. Flonase sensimist. My friend susie cracks and hello sensitive bladder. Ring a bell . Then you have to try always discreet. I didnt think protection this thin could work. But the super absorbent core turns liquid to gel. For incredible protection. Thats surprisingly thin. So its out of sight. And out of mind. Always discreet. For bladder leaks. Also in liners. Liz welcome back. Video taken inside a car, the people watched as the car was being attacked by socalled anti faciist rioters in berkeley california. Lets take a look. Whats up . What do you got in there . Theres more of us. You guys are racist . Oh, no. Liz joining me now the woman in that car you saw her on camera briefly Berkeley College republican ashton whitty, and with her is Berkeley College republican Vice PresidentNaweed Thomas now he was not in the car but at the rally and good to see you both. Thank you for having us on. Thank you. Liz so this violence is rach eting up in berkeley and its being roundly condemned the mayor is trying to keep people safe and saying no to having basically the free speech week sponsored by conservatives. The police are clearly overwhelmed here. Is thises right move for now . Well, what i have to say about that is that the mayor is making, you know, a wrong statement to say free speech week should be cancelled. I think that its his responsibility to fully condemn them for what they are and that is a terrorists organization. They are terrorizing people, theyre hurting people and running through the streets of berkeley causing a lot of problems. Theyre running around black masks carrying weapons and the fact that we call them just a gang, thats not even what they are. When you have a group like this threatening people, just because they have a different opinion or a different idea, that truly is a danger not just to the republican students at berkeley but also to the people of berkeley itself. Liz ashton, how did you feel sitting trapped in that car with antifaciist members coming up to you surrounding the car. How did you feel . As someone born and raised in berkeley i feel like ive been lied to my entire life. I grew up listening to people talk about peace and unity and free speech in my classroom and to have this happen at what was supposed to be a free speech rally being a targeted and attacked for holding up a sign that says lets just have a conversation i dont know what to believe any more. I feel like that everyone in berkeley is a hypocrite and someone whose born and raised in berkeley i want to see that real peace united with berkeley again i dont want my home city taken over by a mob. Liz now when you saw this video what was your thought . People are being beaten in the streets while police watch. The city has went into a state of anarchy and the mayor has proven hes unfit to govern but i was appalled when i saw a cnn show host following in tow. I demand cnn issue a statement disa vowing condemning the actions of leading a march with antifa. Can you imagine Walter Cronkite leading a march . The mayor of berkeley labeled this organization as a criminal gang. Liz we finally heard naweed and ashton from nancy pelosi condemning antifa. We have yet to hear from other democrats so this is what nancy pelosi said. Our democracy has no room for dangering the public. The matter of the ideology to commit those such acts the violent actions of people calling them in berkeley this weekend deserve condemnation and the perpetrators should be arrested and prosecuted again. Have you seen, naweed and ashton , any democrats and anyone else in the media condemning it . I appreciate the rhetoric but i believe actions speak louder than words. They have yet to act against these organizations that harass our club members on a daily basis. Ive mentioned this before they had fliers with my face on it around campus posting it calling me a faciist. The university does nothing about it. Liz ashton, whats your reaction . Well nancy pelosi was actually one of the people who spread a rumor about this free speech rally calling a White Supremacy rally which is a complete lie not to mention theyre blaming the Berkeley College republicans for the events they wish to host condemning antifa, the very people causing all of the violence. I was at the rally and not a single white supremacist natzi it was maybe six conservatives trying to have a conversation and antifa was 100 the cause of the violence. Liz ashton and naweed, you want you had come back on the show. Youve been terrific. We have been covering the story right from the beginning. We will continue to stay on it we want to have you back thanks so much for coming in. Thank you for having us.

Liz looking back new pictures of north Korean Leader kim jong un laughing as he over saw the latest missle launch taken when north korea shot the missle over japan. The u. S. Responding by successfully shooting down a missle in a test off of hawaii. Lets take a check of defense stock. Raytheon closing up for the day Lockheed Martin l3 technologies down. Joining me Fox News Contributor jason chafits. What was your reaction to him laughing . Reporter its sickening but i think we have to take north korea we have to really truly understand that they want death and destruction to the United States, to south korea, to potentially japan and we have to be prepared for that and i really do like the positioning that donald trump and his team have taken. Theyre much much better prepared and prepped to deal with this and the majority of the United States navy is actually in the pacific and were ready to deal with it. Liz north korea said this that the japan missle was the first step in a specific operation. What were your thoughts about that . We have been doing a number of things within the pacific to prepare for this. We have been building up defense s in guam. We extended the runways there. Weve actually moved troops partly out of japan. We moved troops in south korea further south. We repositioned troops out of the philippines into darwin to do training 2500 marines, we put missle Defense System into south korea. The secretary of state tillerson has been out there working very closely with the foreign minister for south korea and i happened to meet with the Prime Minister of japan and weve got to have a unified front and we also have to engage the chinese but i think what nikki haley has been doing at the un and the success shes had there the presence of our military and the strength we have there, we have to be able to deal with this and more than just words. Liz here is the president tweeting in response to north korea. The u. S. Has been talking to north korea paying them extortion money for 25 years. Talking is not the answer. What are your thoughts there . Reporter women look over the last 20 plus years it hasnt worked because theyve developed more and more capability. Theyve been demonstrating that on almost a weekly basis shooting missles, rockets demonstrating that they have the capability at hitting either a u. S. Territory, or the United States itself and we have to have a military. The biggest bad its military on the face of the planet that can take out a threat if it elevates just that next step and i do worry about it but i do think the president has done everything he can on every front to push this including the engagement of china.
