Appearance, warning north korea to back down or prepare for the full wrath of the u. S. Military. We make a that we had the ability to defend ourselves and our allies, south korea and japan. For many attack in our commitments among the allies are ironclad. Any threat to the United States or its territories, including one or our alleys, will be met with a massive military response. A response both effective and overwhelming. Molly we have Fox Team Coverage with former you in a besser to the United States and first lets go to john roberts live at the white house. Molly good evening. Not since 1962 and president kennedy warned russia that its Nuclear Attack from cuba would be met with have we heard this sort attack. Moments ago the white house release and a readout statement of the president s call with the Prime Minister of japan. President trump reaffirmed the commitment of the United States to defending our homeland, territories analyses in the full range of diplomatic, conventional and Nuclear Capabilities at our disposal. Earlier, James Madison merz from a meeting where he briefed the president a possible military options against north korea with the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff palestine. He warned north korea not to threaten the u. S. , its territories or allies with Nuclear Weapon. Basically saying, we dont want to destroy north korea, but we can and we will if necessary. Listen. We are not looking to the total annihilation of a country, namely north korea. But as i said, we have many options to do so. Present trump has ramped up because north Koreas Nuclear program appears to have crossed a new dangerous threshold. Late last night they distributed for the graphs of kim jongun inspecting what north korea said was a Hydrogen Bomb capable of being mounted on a missile. And then detonated a Nuclear Device that a u. S. Geological survey registered magnitude 6. 3. North koreas claim to have detonated a powerful Nuclear Weapon was not challenged by the u. S. Intelligence community. A statement that intelligent Officials Say we are highly confident this was a test of advanced Nuclear Device. And what we have seen so far is not inconsistent with north koreas claim. What makes it dangerous is a single Hydrogen Bomb, at least one north korea apparently detonated late yesterday, was 4 16 times stronger than they have ever tested before. If it is capable of being put on a missile, thats a game changer. Molly absolutely. What else is the present looking at . Clearly the president would like to avoid nuclear war. Hes pursuing sanctions and some sort of economic armtwisting against people doing business with north korea. South korea getting the brunt of the criticism. In a tweet he said south koreas finding, as ive told them, their talk of appeasement with north korea will not work. They only understand one thing. The president tweeted out today, the United States is considering, in addition to other options, stopping all trade within a country, that is doing business with north korea. Speaking on fox news sunday, Stephen Mnuchin said that he has a slate of new sanctions ready for the president s signature. I did speak with the president and its clear this behavior is completely on acceptable. We have started was sanctions against north korea but im going to draft a sanctions pink trim package to send to the present first on consideration. Anybody who wants to do traitor business with them would be prevented from doing trade or business with us. Will work with our allies, with china, the people need to cut off north korea economically. This is unacceptable behavior. Looks like itll be the United NationsSecurity Council and nikki haley has called for an emergency meeting for 10 00 oclock tomorrow morning. Molly youre a truly remarkable day. As john mentioned, un ambassador, nikki haley called for the emergency Security Council meeting first thing on monday morning. South korea also condemns this test. Rich, the u. S. Is looking at the next potential diplomatic step. Thats right. Good evening. The secretary of state, Rex Tillerson spending his days speaking with regional allies. Thats ahead of tomorrows emergency meeting at the United NationsSecurity Council. That something nikki haley, along with her counterparts from japan, france, the united kingdom, south korea have requested. Will take place tomorrow morning at 10 00 a. M. South koreas pushing for additional sanctions as is the european union. Donald tusk says, we call on the un Security Council to adopt further un sanctions and show stronger result to achieve a peaceful d nuclear is a trend denuclearization of the korean peninsula. Russian china sitting down to last month sanctions and while they have condemned the nuclear test, neither appears willing to allow additional sanctions. The u. S. Has been pushing china to do more to isolate north korea. China accounts for 90 of north koreas tray. Officials say china has been improving and cracking down a north korea but there is still a long way and much more that china could be doing. Molly what happens if russia and china block additional sanctions . That and throw for the year and Security Council sanctions. It doesnt mean the United States cant move forward. Steve mnuchin, the treasury secretary is planning sanctions option for the president to look at to see if he wants to pass or send something to congress to an act further sanctions. The u. S. Can also correlate with its european allies. We saw the willingness for the european allies to court and instructor sanctions. The other thing that can be done is a couple weeks ago under current sanctions law the u. S. Treasury department issued penalties against several Russian Companies and a few Chinese Companies for violating sanctions by conducting business with north korea. They can use all of that at their disposal to try to tighten that more. But how much do you want to penalize Chinese Companies are trying to convince china to get tough on north korea. Molly thank you. Congressman rhonda is status unrealistic for the u. S. To expect north korea to cooperate with us. We knew north korea was proceeding down this route for a long time. The speed at which theyre doing on the missile front and now on the Nuclear Device run is far faster than we anticipated. The threat is much more immediate today the way would have forecast two or three years ago. The idea that you will negotiate with the north korean regime and they will somehow stand down on this is a fantasy. Molly with more and this is his pastor john holton. The former you as a besser to the un. And a fox news contributor. Thank you for joining us. For so long, this regime has been seen as far as their weapons program, failure to launch. Now we see them grow up quite quickly. With an icbm that is capable of reaching the United States. A series of photos just publish of the dictator with this new Thermo Nuclear warhead and now this biggest Hydrogen Bomb yet that they believe to have tested. In terms of american lives, where are we now . I think were very much at risk. If you look back with the efforts of sanctions that predate the First Nuclear test in 2006 have failed consistently. They been able to avoid the sanctions. Its important to understand that north korea doesnt have an economy like other small countries like the netherlands, hungry or Something Like that. Its a 25 million person prison camp. Its run by the military. The military first has been the slogan of the leadership. Thats all they care about. As long as they can supply the military and Ballistic Missile program kim jongun is fine with it. Ive watch Coverage Today in one country never mentioned is iran. You dont think iran is it supplied north korea with technology, with financial resources, there a twin on their Ballistic Missile program. Theyre not gonna Pay Attention to more sanctions. Molly so talk about iran and sanctions, if north korea is cut off as Steve Mnuchin had called for, the trade with north korea like china and russia, in the meantime north korea can go rogue and trade with countries who are willing to trade with them with weapons with iran. Is that the domino we could be facing if north korea is further isolated . You can hardly get more isolated and yet it has Ballistic Missiles that we are ready think could hit much of the continental United States. The consensus is growing that the six test was a thermoNuclear Device. The sanctions simply get people a warm fuzzy feeling that were doing something about north korea. If this administration follows the same policy as a clinton, bush, and obama administrations with carrots, sticks and efforts to persuade north korea, it will feel like they did. Molly remarkable reporting from john roberts talking about this meeting the president and Vice President had with a National Security team and with secretary of Defense James Mattis saying its about the military options. Something the secretary said were not looking at the total annihilation of a country but we have many options to do so. John hasnt seen or heard which like this is the cuban missile crisis. When you talk about Strong Language in front of the white house, is the scene as a final warning to pyongyang . I dont know. It would help give credibility to the administrations rhetoric if for example allamerican civilian, dependence of military, state department and other personal south korea were ordered to depart and return home. It would help if we built up our military assets capable of action against north korea. I dont think were in a position yet to not only deal with the Nuclear Problem but the potential retaliation. I think if you put everything in place you needed for military activity, that we get chinas attention i might even get north koreas. Rhetoric alone is going to do the trick. Molly thank you for joining us tonight. And for your insight.

Thats been tremendous. Right now are made focuses in east texas where were still doing search and rescue evacuations because of the high water. Were also beginning to transition a focus on distribution of commodities like water and food. Working with local officials to make sure the citizens who are there get what they need. Its incredible when he think about when the storm landed and that the challenges are still so great. Youre bringing in so many people in many want to help and are serving and happy to do that, how to handle that logistically . Molly several ways. We have thousands of partners, every federal agency, fema, the department of defense, every federal agency and state agency and all the locals coming together. Whats more phenomenal to me is the local support even from other states has been flowing in and unbelievable numbers. All that being coordinated through the state division of emergency management. We support them moving things out to the people working with the local judges and county officials. Its been a coordination like ive never seen before. Molly when you talk about the standing water thats their we just had our walk a reporter standing in front of a highway that looks like a canal. Howdy major youre finding the people you need to . Is working with the local officials to try to find the folks, they know where they are and got us in. We have aircraft during searches consistently working with other agencies with aircraft in the air. The governor did something phenomenal. He decided to push as much capability as we could push down instead of the pole system the state uses. He realized this is going to be a bad storm, like nothing ever saw. We began pushing capability out there so communities didnt have to ask like is a normal situation. We are there, position for them, they had their hands full everyone. Overwhelmed but were right there to help when they needed it. Instead of them needing to ask to get that done. That took a tremendous amount of foresight to do between that and the general to bring th
