An american citizen i want a president that says that if any nation such as north korea attacks guam, honolulu or the west coast, they will be met with hell and fury. Bill Rex Tillerson returning to washington after a stop off in guam yesterday. We begin our coverage live at the state department. What are you getting out of north korea so far this morning . Theyre responding specifically and mentioning specifically President Trumps comments about being met with fire and fury. The Korean Peoples Army saying sound dialogue is not possible with such a guy, the president. And only absolute force can work on him. The statement says north korea is considering a plan to have four missiles around the island of guam. Rex tillerson met with russia, china to cut off north koreas Economic Activity and financing. Americans should have no concern about the rhetoric of the past few days. The secretary of defense saying while our state department is making every effort to resolve with global threat through diplomatic needs it must be noted the militaries possess the robust defensive capabilities on earth. North korea would be grossly overmatched in any arms race or any conflict it initiated. Bill Administration Says its unified in its message. Is that the case . Theyre trying to square comments between fire and fury from the president and the secretary of state saying americans should sleep well at night. There are questions of consistency. The administration is speaking with a unified force according to the state department. The United States is on the same page whether the white house, the state department, the department of defense were speaking with one voice and the world is speaking with one voice. We saw that as it came out of the u. S. Security council with the resolution that passed less than a week ago. The secretary of state held a press conference to north korea we arent looking for regime change or attack or cross the 38th parallel but he said we arent your enemy but you are presenting on unacceptable threat to us and we have to respond. Bill rich edson from the state department. Shannon the president will meet with Vice President pence later today. How is the Trump Administration reacting to the latest bluster from north korea . Rick leventhal is near where the president is in bedminster. No statements or tweets on this topic. Perhaps letting the defense secretarys words speak for themselves the north korea regime is grossly overmatched by the u. S. Military. This war of words ratcheted up monday afternoon when the president spoke about the fire and fury warning north korea to stand down on its Nuclear Program and it reiterated yesterday the president was in constant communication with general john kelly and also with the National Security team. His Homeland Security advisor arrived yesterday for meetings with the president and as you mentioned, shannon, he is scheduled to have lunch with Vice President pence at 12 30 today. There will be lengthy discussions about north korea, were not sure yet what the white house might have to say about it today. Shannon were getting word of a tense phone call between the president and Senate Majority leader about recent criticism. That happened yesterday morning and were learning more from ed henry of the details of the call when the president ripped into Mitch Mcconnell describing himself as very unhappy over the mcconnell comment that he gave tuesday in his home state of kentucky about the delays in progress on healthcare. Listen. Our new president hasnt been in this line of work before and i think had excessive expectations about how quickly things happen in the democratic process. That didnt sit very well. Were told the call lasted 10 minutes and the president told mcconnell he didnt appreciate the criticism. He expects Republican Leadership to repeal obamacare and the president tweeted his displeasure again. Can you believe Mitch Mcconnell couldnt get it done . Must repeal and replace obamacare. Were told the president also expressed his displeasure with senator john mccains lack of support and suggested that mcconnell might be able to take away mccains chairmanship of the Senate Armed Forces committee. No word if that is going anywhere. Shannon wouldnt hold my breath on that knowing Mitch Mcconnell like we do. Bill charlie heard, opinion editor for the washington times. Good morning in washington, d. C. The battle underneath the party. Its not good for Mitch Mcconnell. He is tangling with a large and angry bear who has a lot of good points to make here. If its excessive expectations to think congress can repeal and replace obamacare after seven years of campaigning on it, why were you campaigning on it in the first place . Donald trump has a good point here. Exactly the kind of fight he likes. When he gets into i feel like oftentimes he is at his strongest when he is having a principled fight with fellow republicans and i think thats what were seeing here. And, you know, maybe it gives us some hope there is still a chance for republicans to get back to the table and try to do something about obamacare. Bill stirewalt wrote about this yesterday. Want to pull one of his last lines in the piece from the halftime report. While it is certainly true that democrats chances in 2018 will depend on their ability to sort out intraparty disputes, the feud thats taking shape on the republican side right now may be just what democrats need to get back on the good foot for 2018. Is that possible . Is that true or is that overstated . I think that democrats still have a real big problem. What they have to convince voters is that somehow voters should trust them because they didnt fail to repeal the bill that they were the ones that gave us in the first place. I think thats a very, very hard its a tough sell to make. I think republicans obviously if they dont repeal obamacare, it will be harder for them. But they can still harang against obamacare. The thing people are suffering under and suffering under now is still obamacare. It is owned lock, stock and barrel by democrats. Bill on the topic of language general james mattis put out a very tough and stronglyworded response to north korea. In part he said the following. The dprk should cease any consideration of actions that would lead to the end of its regime and the destruction of its people. I dont think it gets stronger than that. Why is it mattis, tough guy, thats his reputation and why he has the job. Why the criticism for the fire and fury comment from the commanderinchief and not this . The distinction is its what donald trump who said it and what weve been seeing for two years. One person can Say Something and its okay. Donald trump says it and people go crazy because he says it with a different flair or over twitter or in some way that people arent used to around here. But its the same thing and the message that needs to be conveyed and in particular the point about were not interested in regime change but if you mess with us your regime will end. There will be regime change if you lift a finger against any of our people. Bill charlie hurt, analysis on both those topics from washington, d. C. Shannon, i believe the topic were discussing with Mitch Mcconnell and others with intraparty battle will play out after labor day. Shannon the white house bearing down making sure something happens. Well see. With north korea a big question continues to unfold. Is the u. S. Capable of shooting down a missile in the event it ever happens . Trent franks joins us later this hour. Bill is that the right way to go now in afghanistan . The trump team is weighing sending more troops underseas. Erik prince wrote an article about that. Shannon a federal judge ordering the state department to turn over its own copies of emails. Former secretary of state Hillary Clinton sent and received concerning benghazi. The state department, which is supposed to be apolitical, not interested in the next president ial election, has been covering for Hillary Clinton since she left office.

Shannon were learning more about the suspect who rammed his car into a group of french soldiers yesterday near paris, a 37yearold from algeria. He is known for minor crimes but no convictions. Police raided his home yesterday after his capture. So far his motive is still under investigation. Bill here is a story that appears not going away. A federal judge ordering the state department to conduct new searches. They say get back to it and find emails the former secretary of state Hillary Clinton might have sent and received about benghazi. Ned ryun has been looking into this. Good morning to you. Where is this coming from now, this judge . So a little bit of back story. A few weeks ago the state department informed people that because there was not as much public outcry, they didnt feel a sense of urgency in going and looking for more Hillary Clinton emails. Judicial watch, aclg has been requesting from both f. B. I. And state department the emails theyve requested. Weve now discovered in this case with the state department, bill, that the state department didnt even search its own servers. The state. Gov servers for the emails of clintons top aides referring to again ghazi. The judge said the state department has the obligation to search its own emails about benghazi. Bill he wasnt satisfied with the evidence that came back. The judge, you mentioned an obama appointee. If she sent an e state server presumably would have captured and stored such an email. Therefore, state has an obligation to search its own server for responsive records. Basically the judge is saying get back at it. You are going to go back and do it correctly. You have an obligation. I thought the thing that was interesting, bill. Justices lawyers argued it would set a bad precedents that it would belabor the foya process. Im sorry Government Employees would be belabored by this. She wasnt buying that argument. She said youll go back. Hillary clintons emails are a unique situation unlikely to be replicated in the future. She told the justice the lawyers that were making this argument on behalf of state they will go back, you will look at the state. Gov servers and do the job you didnt do previously. The arguments coming out of the state department have been well, there hasnt been a sense of urgency. Nobody is that interested. All these arguments and the judge, an obama appointee, is buying none of them. Bill does it change now . Is it different now because there is a Different Administration and there is a different boss at the state department with Rex Tillerson . There is a little bit but some of this delay is happening because there are still holdovers from the Obama Administration who quite frankly dont feel a sense of urgency and do not feel they should be pushing this in a timely fashion. Bill, this kind of addresses one of the other issues that were dealing with right now in this transition from one administration to another. There are still holdovers in many of the departments from the Obama Administration. They are not on the trump team. They are not working on behalf of the Trump Administration and doing their best to delay these things. Bill what would tillerson do about that . Coming from the oval Office President trump has made it clear to various departments theyre to be working on these requests in a prompt and timely fashion. There has been a delay, pushback, not made a priority. I have to tell you a little bit im encouraged by Jeff Sessions willing to go and get aggressive on some of these other things. This is something, these emails and getting to the bottom of these things whether its Loretta Lynchs and james comey manipulation of the email investigation. They said the f. B. I. Lied to them about saying certain emails didnt exist. I hope in the various departments again under the Trump Administration people will realize this is an absolute priority we get to the bottom of this. Bill let me go back to what the judge said here. A central premise of the rulings that state Department Servers archived emails from clintons top aides. However, its not clear that happened regularly or reliably. You have to ask yourself why. What it comes back to ultimately, it is trust in government and in washington on behalf of the American People. I want to make this last point if i could, bill. Either the law is the law or its not. If the law is one of our founding principles, it applies to all people and needs to be done in a timely fashion. If people dont think the law and our government and institutions are to be trusted, everything becomes arbitrary, people begin to lose trust in the institutions and serious implications on society. We have to be serious about this. I would remind people and state the obvious. This Government Works on behalf of the American People who fund every last dime of our government and the employees who work for it. Bill looks like theyll get back at it. Well see where it goes in washington thank you. Shannon well, check this out. A russian spy plane flying over major u. S. Cities including not far from President Trumps new jersey location. What is the story on that . Bill also a bizarre story on u. S. Relations with cuba. The u. S. Taking action against that country after american diplomats return home under mysterious circumstances.

The aircraft flew near Trump National golf course and near the white house, capitol and pentagon. It was permitted to fly there under an open skies treaty with russia and the u. S. Both belong. Senior intelligence Officials Say theyre concerned moscow is using advanced technology to go beyond the spirit of that agreement. I bet you didnt know that happens. Shannon did you think it was weird when i first saw the emails about it yesterday . Whoa, there has to be more to this story. Thats why we bring it to you. Interesting. Another story here, the state department has ordered two cuban diplomats to leave the u. S. After two of our diplomats were forced the return home. Break this down for us, phil. The state Department Says this harassment of u. S. Diplomats stationed in havana has been happening since late last year but we first learned of it yesterday after the state department afternoon briefing. According to u. S. Officials there have been a series of bizarre incidents happening in havana leaving u. S. Diplomats stationed there hearing loss and symptoms similar to the effects of having a concussion. U. S. Officials have concluded the cubans have been using a covert sonic device operated outside of the range of audible sound and been deployed inside or outside the u. S. Diplomats residences. Initially when they started reporting what i will call symptoms, it took time to figure out what it was. It is still ongoing. Were monitoring it. We provide medical care and concern to those who believe theyve been affected by it and we take it very seriously. Several of the diplomats returned to the u. S. For medical treatment. State Department Spokeswoman said in may, may 23, the United States retaliated by ordering two cuban diplomats in d. C. To go back to cuba. The ministry of Foreign Affairs says i
