Deranged and threatened to test a hydrogen bomb over the pacific ocean. a threat of something that has not happened, a test that has not happened since 1980. >> thats right. good morning to both of you. the pentagon not commenting on this publicly, but when north korea makes a threat like this they have to plan as if it might be true, as if north korea might decide to carry out such a test. the north koreans now threatening a hydrogen bomb test on or over the pacific ocean. this would be the fir...

Is this rhetoric, noise or does it change things? >> its more than rhetoric and noise for this reason. were seeing a possibly uncontainable escalation at this point, not only in iran but also in north korea. here is the issue. what people are forgetting is there is no room for north korea to really back down. they are already facing economic devastation with the sanctions that were in place. additional tough sanctions will further, further bring that down in terms of what they can do. china with...

Have tested a nuclear weapon. one of the most recent ones in 2016 they claim was a hydrogen test. geologist and experts say it was too small. in those cases we see the military putting up a wc 135 and see if they can figure out anything of what may have done. >> the wc 135 as it measures those isotopes it would be potentially what you are saying, and correct me if i am wrong determine if it was nuclear, number one, number two if it is atomic or number three if it is hydrogen. atomic being the sp...

Recent test over northern japan was not only that they chose to have the missile fly over japan which is the first time they have done that and before that, their missile test had gone into the pacific but the trajectory was a more traditional trajectory and they were showing off again the range. in terms of war head, we have no evidence. no evidence at all that they have either done a nuclear test that is a hydrogen test or that they have actually made so many advances that they not only have a...

Chance at all that this test is not as serious as it seems? i should say the usgs said it was a 6.3 tremor. something significant happened. as you know, north korea has been known to overstate its capabilities before. how can we be sure its not doing it again today? >> tech nick technical experts g furiously to confirm the details. the fact is, the size of this is so alarming that it was clearly, according to experts within the government with whom i have spoken this morning, they say it was cle...

The united states has at the ready to essentially destroy the regime if they persist, if they continue these acts of defiance firing missiles, testing nuclear devic devices, yet they have still ton it. the north has still done it apparently today. the confirmation we have so far is only from the japanese side that they have concluded that this was a nuclear test. the u.s. geological survey said they have massive seismic events, one connected to the other, that happened in close proximity to each...

I tweeted -- [ no audio ] >> dr. terry, if you can hear me, it sounds like your cell signal is a little raspy. i dont know if you can move to another location where you are at right now so we can get better -- wed really like to get your perspective, being a former analyst for the cia. dr. sumi terry is on the phone right now. sounds like we have some technical issues. >> hello? >> yes, dr. terry, i can hear you. if you move to a different place, and ill tell you if the signal is good or if it g...

Tested. dr. sumi teri is a former analyst with the cia. doctor, what do you make of the information, the latest piece is coming out of the announcement from the north korean government that, yes, they were able to successfully test a hydrogen bomb. theyve made this claim before but it was not verified. >> well, i would not be vised if they did. but it could also be an exaggeration, it could be a normal nuclear test. either way, if its not a hydrogen test, they will get there very soon. in terms ...

These claims before. whether it is or not, north korea is getting there. so in terms of options the u.s. government has, same limited options in response to this latest provocation. north korea is bent on completing the nuclear program, bent on completing its nuclear arsenal. if its not a hydrogen test this time, they will get there very soon. >> whats driving kim jong-un? is he at a heightened stage in interest in reaching this goal that youre describing? or is it his generals? >> it is absolut...

Gordon chang, author of "north korea takes on the world." and congressman turner. thank you for joining us, gentlemen. the view of the u.s. was that this was not a hydrogen bomb. you still say this pose as direct threat to the united states. why? >> absolutely. whether this is a hydrogen test or a nuclear test, this would be the third test that north korea has undertaken during president obamas presidency. the president has stated that he had a goal entering his two terms here that we would have...
