The frightening message went out yesterday and with the investigation getting under way, pictures like this will be hard to forget with people scrambling for shelter and fears for their lives. Will carr is live in honolulu with the latest. Hi, will. Reporter hey, arthel. Residents are here trying to figure out how this could happen. And even afterwards why it would take 40 minutes to let everybody know that this was a false alarm. Take a look at the text alerts that residents got just after 8 00 a. M. On saturday morning. It reads, Ballistic Missile threat, inbound to hawaii. Seek immediate shelter. This is not a drill. This sparked panic. Residents believing that north korea sent a missile that would take 30 minutes to hit the state. We spoke to the congresswoman who believes this type of alert should be in the hands of the military moving forward the panic and fear that hit our residents as well as our visitors that were here, its inexcusable because its a mistake. Reporter part of the problem is people had no idea where to go or what to do. We had video of one family trying to put their daughter into the sewer. Others tell us they wanted to be as close as possible to loved ones. We realized we have no idea really what were supposed to do. We were already in the house but we didnt know what the procedures were. I guess just sit there. Like where do we go . Reporter what ultimately happened is that an employee with the Emergency Management agency here in hawaii hit a wrong button and the way the system is set up, it took 38 minutes to put out a correction text. That was a long 38 minutes for the residents of hawaii, arthel. I can only imagine. Here we are a day and some change later. Have you had a chance to talk to people about the reality of what happened and any thoughts if that could happen in real life and if its not a drill . Reporter well, 24 hours later some residents are taking it lightly. But it was definitely very very serious when people didnt realize exactly what was going on yesterday. And theres really a sense among residents in hawaii that they realize that they are a target. You can go back to pearl harbor which is not far from where we are here. They were a potential target during the cold war. And rhetoric has ratcheted up between the United States and north korea in recent months. They realize that even if its not likely, theres the potential that they could be a target. So Something Like yesterday certainly makes this much more serious. Will carr there in honolulu. Thank you. The pentagon said it had nothing to do with that heartstopping alert. Tonight its raising questions about whroarnt state governments, not the federal government or the u. S. Military should have jurisdiction to warn the public in these situations. Alison barber in washington with more on that. Good morning. Hi, you just heard from will there that this is being blamed on human error. Hawaiian officials are already making changes. Lawmakers here in d. C. Say quite simply this cannot happen again. These processes failed so epically that caused this trauma, that caused this terror all across the state of hawaii, must be fixed immediately. And those responsible for this happening need to be held accountable making sure that this cannot, it cannot happen again. Yesterday the fcc said they would be investigating the false alarm. Today the chairman says based on what theyve seen so far, quote, it appears that the government of hawaii did not have reasonable safeguards or process controls in place to prevent the transmission of a false alert. The chairman went on to say that moving forward with the investigation will focus on what steps need to be taken to ensure that message like this doesnt happen again and state, local and federal officials have to Work Together to spot vulnerabilities in these systems. On capitol hill plans were in place to talk about emergency systems. The house planned to hold a hearing in early february to address Emergency Alert systems. Now sources say what happened in hawaii will be part of the discussion. Department of Homeland Security secretary Kirsten Nielsen says a response exercise at the federal level is set for next month. When we look at response, we all act under something called the National Response framework. We test that frequently using different scenarios. We had a deputies committee, the deputy secretaries of the department exercise in december and we had already planned to have a prince fl cabinet level exercise early next month so well continue on that. Nielsen talked about a concern that the fcc and lawmakers have that this error could have people lose faith in the alerts. Called an unfortunate mistake but went on to say dont draw the wrong conclusions. These alerts are vital and can save lives. In 20 minutes from now well talk to general jack keen about what this means with the crisis in north korea. Thank you. Eric in the false missile alarm is raising concerns about the state of the countrys National Security. Reporters say President Trump was on the golf course in florida when the erroneous alert was sent yesterday. He left for maralago about a halfhour later following that mistake. Phil is live in West Palm Beach and i understand that the president is back in maralago this evening. Reporter good evening. He is, after spending about five hours or so on the golf course or in the clubhouse at the Trump International golf club just down the street. Whether he was golfing 18 holes as he was yesterday, still no official confirmation from the white house. But it was there at the golf club when everything was going down in honolulu and the other islands of hawaii yesterday. Suddenly that false alarm going out about the incoming Ballistic Missile sparking 38 minutes of terror and panic on the islands. Well, as you just heard the Homeland Security secretary did say that the administration was not scrambling but was pretty much on point and in control. Now as for the rest of this evening, nothing public is scheduled for tonight, as was the case all day yesterday. The president and the first family are expected to have somewhat of a quiet evening. However weve received word that the White House Press pool has been summoned back to maralago. So well see what exactly that entails for the next hour or two. Could be a photo op. We shall see. Im intrigued and im sure you seal have that for us. Meanwhile, the president was busy tweeting today too, right . Reporter yeah, President Trump beginning of course every morning here in florida when he sends his time here in maralago tweeting. He was pleasing the economy and accused the wall street journal, our sister company, of misquoting him on purpose. As he also said a fix on daca which aims to do something with the 700,000 or so immigrants in this country here illegally after having been snuck in by their parents. After mutt. Talks in d. C. Last week, an answer is still illusive for both parties on what to do with the dreamers brought into the country illegally. It was during thursdays Oval Office Meeting where President Trump made that alleged disparaging if not racic comment referring to haiti and african nations anations. The president tweeting this immigration note this morning, daca is probably dead because the democrats dont want it. They just want to talk and take desperately needed money away from our military. A major condition for daca reform and a deal with the republicans and democrats being passed for the president at least is funding, Congress Funding what he asks for as far as building that border wall there along the border of mexico and texas. Also, the president hopes to reform the visa lottery as well as chain migration where you can bring in or at least fast track your relatives overseas once youyouget a green card in the c. The president and the republicans would like to see all of that reformed. Thank you for that wrapup tomorrow is the federal holiday marking the birthday of dr. Martin luther king jr. And hundreds of children and teens celebrated this weekend with the commemoration at washington state. The seattle youth march taking place yesterday, it focused on ending poverty and building equality this year. Youth organizers say the goal of the march is to teach children about the importance of working together to fight for a Better Future and keeping dr. Kings lessons and his dream alive. A very good march there were sure. Absolutely. Meanwhile yoofer seas theyre risking their lives in the streets of iran. Coming up, what iranian activists fighting the regime in tehran told me about President Trump and the message to americans about the future of their country. Also with the potential Government Shutdown looming, will daca be included on a spending bill. The program was unconstitutional. What we should be focused on instead of the Court Interventions and distractions, is we need a permanent solution. Blanblank should be a bill of love truly should be a bill of love and we can do that arthel that was President Trump on tuesday as he try to reach a deal on daca and a federal spending bill that Congress Must pass by friday to avoid a Government Shutdown. But you could get whiplash following the twists and turns over immigration. Today the president tweeting, daca is probably dead because the democrats dont really want it. They just want to talk and take desperately needed money away from our military. And with the deadline to keep the government from shutting down fast approaching, republican Senator Cory Gardner of colorado giving an overview of negotiations. What were dealing with right now are children who were brought here as children at a very young age, no fault of their own. Thats what we can address. We can address this issue of chain migration as the president says and weve done that. Weve broken or stopped to put an end to the diversity visa lottery that the president asked for. That was a bipartisan solution. And if people want to do better, we can. Arthel its talk about this with alan smith he is here. You have the president tweeting today, daca is dead, dems dont want it, theyre messing around. Last night, around 10 00 p. M. , youve got the federal court announcing the current Daca Recipients can renew their legal. How do these two moves set the table for talks on da daca this week . What they would signal initially is its going to be unlikely to see a deal come through on daca ahead of the shutdown. And the court order itself means that democrats can wait a little bit and do a clean cabbing ka c. They shouldnt do a shutdown over daca. And now the court bill hasnt passed extending daca. I think the president s characterization was interesting after that court order. A little early to say its probably dead after what happened. But its looking more unlikely that well have a deal on daca this week in line of the Government Shutdown. Arthel will you have the deal on daca before its off the books and expires . It would be surprising in it isnt. Theres a lot of bipartisan support to get something done. The whole controversy late last week with the alleged vulgar comments that the president made happened when he was presented with the bipartisan bill that durbin and graham, the two senators has essentially come up. Theres momentum to get something done before it expired. It may not need to happen with the funding bill. Arthel so now can the president come in as sort of the deal maker and agree to a clean daca bill, okay, we can deal what that in a little bit but lets deal with this now, forcing the democrats hand to make concessions on the wall, immigration and the budget . Its interesting because in this bipartisan deal they did make some concessions that President Trump wanted. But a lot of people thought that the democrats would have never made. And the fact that they made those concessions and trump turned the deal down saying earlier in the week he would sign any bipartisan deal given to him, it makes it harder to know what hand arthel whats the deal . If youre saying at this point the president doesnt have to force the democrats hand. Saying they came to the table with concessions and now the president today is saying daca is dead. What gives . Its all a political game. I mean thats really what it gets down to. Unfortunately peoples lives here are at stake. So the idea is that diss ilt you answer. Let me ask the questions and let me ask you. So, listen. Both sides stand to make political gains and plipups this week. So where is the republican leverage and where might they compromise and also for the democrats. I think republicans are going to compromise on daca. Theyre going to compromise on how much funding for the proposed wall, how much quote Border Security as they like to address it and stop regarding the diversity lottery that trump wants eliminated. Both sides are giving up a little own each side. But at the same time immigration is trumps signature issue. So any acceptance by him on a bipartisan deal i think he has a little bit of fear that me might look weak on immigration to some extent. Arthel how so . U yo knoyou know what . If you do math, thats 70 , 30 and the president is a deal maker. Thats what he is. Thats often forgotten. A lot of people voted for President Trump so he could break through some of the partisan being that hes a nonideological background, at least before he ran for president. But when it comes down to it, this is something that he was so hard on during the campaign. His immigration platform was so rigid that every time hes backed off a little bit hes had to double down stronger. Arthel but why would he back off if hes got the democrats at the table saying okay were willing to negotiate with you. Why would he walk away from something that could get him the legislative win he needs. They brought it to him. Immigration will be one of the only issues that gets any significant time this year because of the makeup of the senate. And the fact that they brought the bipartisan deal to him. He said he would sign any bipartisan deal earlier in the week and then he backed off, saying maybe there isnt real deal that can be made here. Arthel okay. At least an allencompassing one. Arthel Government Shutdown, yes or no. No government shut down. Arthel i agree. Alan smith, thank you so much. Eric, take it away. Eric to iran now where the agency says that the government has led to restrictions on telegram. Thats the popular ad that the protesters were used to spread antigovernment views. We used it to talk to some iranian protesters about their cause and their message to the world. They thanked President Trump and the American People for their support. They are risking their lives to bring freedom to i iran. Iranian protesters from the streets telling fox news they thank President Trump and the American People for supporting their uprising against the regime in tehran. We interviewed the activists in iran through a social media. Hiding their faces. One protester told us, quote, we thank you President Trump. We call on all of the supporters to put pressure with you and overthrow with us. Protesters we talked to were blunt. They will not give up, they vowed until the hard line regime is toppled. They went a democratic and independent government and play a role in it. You heard people talking that they are happy that the United States and President Trump is actually taking actions on the side of the iranian people and as you know, the overthrow of this regime and the establishment of a free country is in the interest of the entire world. Another activist texts us his answers to our questions. The president called the Iranian Regime quote brutal and corrupt. How important was that to hear for you . He wrote, quote, he is correct and we approve of what he spoke. You should help the iranian people we need internet. We asked President Trump to convince European Union to ban the mull la. The banned national group, the the leader has been blamed by the government for the unrest. Supporters have displayed banners with her photograph. The reason, one told us, quote, we have no life in iran. Our life and death is equal. We have nothing to miss. We want freedom. Just poverty, unemployment and corruption is the result of the regime. These uprisings have just begun. Their patience have come to on end and they have in to lose. Nobody wants to go back. We want to go forward. People want a free republic. Thats what people are chanting. We know we need to be at risk for a revolution and we accept it. On friday the president continued waiving sanctions against iran under the nuclear deal saying that will be the very last time and he gave European Countries four month to fix the controversial agreement. And the activists i talked to want stronger sanctions against tehran such as cutting off oil exports and cutting off access to the International Banking system. They also vowed they will not give up.
