In fact, happened. >> well, this is the stark reality that the people of hawaii face and what its going to be like if that nuclear strike, that missile comes to hawaii. you know, cell phones all across the state, over a million people of hawaii got alert saying a ballistic missile is heading your way, take shelter, this is not a drill. so what they have just gone through is the immediate reality of knowing that theyve got 15 minutes to take shelter, where, where can they take shelter where it wo...

I think try to stay calm because obviously something like that you cant do anything other than hide and cover so it was try to get our thoughts gathered in a way that we could go about it. it was probably about an hour until we finally got the okay to say that this is just a drill and even yet, theres still a little bit of speculation, well, is it, was it a glitch, its uncertainty of -- it doesnt really feel very comfortable right now for a beautiful someday it is. kelly: yeah, even now i sense ...

Kelly referenced that with gordon chang, we used to do it as children, that something that we see in the future and how often should the drills take place? >> well, so the -- again, preparation is key. i think that -- that, you know, certainly the government has a responsibility and, you know, so do we as citizens have a responsibility to be prepared, you know, im not suggesting that we all need to go out and start digging the old cold war bunkers in the the backyard but this is a serious threat...

Just for hawaii but for other american fatalities to have warning systems. kelly: i dont mean to interrupt, the base on that, based on what we have seen here today and what youve mentioned about, you know, we are out of practice, a little bit rusty on this, do you foresee a time based on the -- the apprehensions that we have about north korea that we could be going into a situation where we start having drills and having testings? >> well, you know, thats always possible. you know, for many amer...

An area where a couple of months ago when the hawaiian newspaper here knew it was area and started texting friends and got scary when a particular friend of ours, a few of them who live on base didnt have any clear-cut notice or understanding of the situation and when they, you know, didnt really have any answers for us either other than they were told to go west as well. we sat back and waited for directions. kelly: you waited for direction, so was there a sense of not knowing you turn to left ...

Developments of this breaking story but now we are getting caught in the fog or the information thats coming from official perspective and so we the people, particularly the people living there in hawaii, their hands are tied. they dont know whats going on. they know that this has been a false drill, but again, getting to the point of what the congresswoman talked about, its still makes her angry with the fact that this took place in the first place because of whats going on in the larger pictur...

People of hawaii have just gone through, the reality of what this really is. he needs to engage directly, talk directly with north korea so that we can remove this nuclear threat, so that we can achieve and make it so that my family and families in hawaii and families across the country are not going to have to go through what the people of hawaii just went through, not have to live with the reality of this nuclear threat. kelly: congresswoman, have you had the occasion to speak directly to pres...

Raids, they have been dealing with the fear of having a north korean missile fall out of the sky and hit them, hit one of shipping vessels out of sea where missiles have come down. >> absolutely. what do you foresee happening in the coming weeks or coming days, reactions to this, as the congresswoman said the reality of the threat is real and no time to waste, what do you expect in next few weeks and days? >> hopefully this will cause more impetus to move things along to try to get a settlement ...

The olympics. kelly: the discouraging element would be the fact that russia leader, vladimir putin, has praised kim jong un, and so that pussed him up and cause him to do more in provocative actions. >> the more that he thinks kim jong un he has someone covering his back he will pull up antics, try to get concessions out of the americans or frighten the american people and put pressure on president trump. yes, its unhelpful to have vladimir putin saying anything uncomplementary of kim jong un. t...

Tweet, thats exactly what happened to one woman who woke up to tweet and found mother and daughter hidden the garage. >> thats exactly the reality of the people of hawaii just went through. that is the stark reality of saying, how do i keep my family safe, where do we go, where do we find shelter, where do we find shelter that will protect us from a nuclear bomb, from this incoming missile and the answers to those questions just is they arent there, and so again, this is the stark reality, if yo...
