This back to school, limited time offer one major question in this president ial campaign, who would you trust to command Americas Nuclear arsenal . Despite the end of the cold war, both the u. S. And russia have enough Nuclear Weapons on alert to destroy civilization many times over. Keeping these weapons safe and ready to fire is a job of the u. N. Strategic command.

Warhead that can be carried are powerable. Reporter compare them to the bomb that leveled hiroshima. Much more powerful than that, than hiroshima. Reporter 30 times more powerful. On a given day, a number of submarines are hiding some where in the worlds oceans ready to respond to a launch order from the president. When you are out here are other countries looking for you . I always operate on the for me. Reporter has any body found you . No, not even close. Reporter are you sure . Yes, i am. Reporter 60 minutes found the kentucky only because we arranged a rendezvous to go aboard. If this boat were a country you would be a Nuclear Power . Thats true, yes, sir.

Reporter operating at depth of 160 feet, the kentucky crew practice procedures needed to launch missiles. This is the captain. This is an exercise. Sound the general alarm. Sound the general alarm. I have permission to fire. Reporter before the trigger can be squeezed, multiple keys including one that unlocks the missile tubes which take up one third of the ship, have to be brought out from different saves. No one person can make a launch happen. So i have keys in my possession. Other members of the crew have keys in their possession. One key is carried to the captain by two sailors who both must hold it. About the safe where the key is kept. No one on board has the combination. We get the combination with the launch order. Thats my way of knowing that the president has ordered the launch. Is when, the combination he gives me opens the safe. Reporter the president literally gives you the combination to the safe that the key is in. Yes. We have permission to fire. Two weapons, permission to fire. Weapons, con, you have permission to fire. Reporter the kentucky and Nuclear Missile submarines and intercontinental ballistic under the command of admiral cecil hain.

Thank you, appreciate the update. Reporter the clock marked potus, short for president of the United States, tells hayney what time zone president obama is in. In case he has to reach the commanderinchief in a hurry. Who in the United States government has the authority to order the use of Nuclear Weapons . Only the president of the United States has the that authority. Does congress have to approve . No, congress does not have to approve. These really are the president s own weapons. It is our nations weapons with the president s authority. Yes. Hayney took us to the Global Operation center, top secret facility three stories underground. If a missile were launched against United States, the warning would be received here, and that clock would start ticking down. Colonel barbara buhls, the watch commander. Reporter i see this sign up here. Red impact. Blue impact time. Missile. That is correct. Reporter you would have the time. We would have time to impact. And blue impact would be, any, any, u. S. Counterattack. Reporter Lieutenant Colonel brian highland would pull out the actions for a retaliatory nuclear strike. My responsibility is the strike con nuclear strike, nuclear precision handbook and alert status of all nuclear forces. Also known as the black book. Reporter black book. Is there a copy of the black book down here . There is in the safe. An identical copy of the black book is in the briefcase that follows the president wherever he goes.

Reporter would they give him an estimate of casualties . Yep. We would have to give the president answers to a lot of thats one that i would expect to get.

Chairman of the joint chiefs of staff. Secretary of defense. I dont see the man who looking for the president. I can speak to the president directly from this microphone. In a crisis how long does it take to get the president on the line . Not very long. Reporter if russia launched a missile from a submarine off the coast of the United States it would take only minutes to reach its target. So how long in fact does the president have to make a decision . He has minutes. 7, 8, 9, depending on details. But, less than ten minutes. The key architect of Nuclear Weapons during the cold war with the soviet union. Reporter if the weapons can be launched within minutes. In the same old hair trigger. Yes. Standoff we were during the cold war . Thats right. We are. We still have launch on warnings. Same policy. Same hair trigger response. Reporter whats changed since the cold war if we are still on this, this hair trigger alert . Fundamentally, nothing has changed. Reporter but the numbers of weapons are much lower now than during the cold war . The number of weapons are sufficient to destroy, obliterate all of civilization. Reporter still . Still. It doesnt take that many. We still have more than 1,000 Nuclear Weapons on alert. Ready to go. And it doesnt take 1,000 to destroy civilization. Reporter at the end of the cold war both sides pledged to point their missiles at the open ocean. But it would take just minutes to change back to real targets. That provide a small hedge triggered by a false alarm. Of the kind perry experienced in 1979 when a watch officer mistakenly inserted a training tape into a computer. Looked like 200 icbms were on the way from the soviet union to the United States. Happily, we got that situation figured out before we had to go to the president. But had we not, he would have received a call at 3 00 in the morning. Said, sir you have 7, 8 minutes to decide whether to launch before the missiles land on icbm silos.

Our music was wrapped around social justice. Poverty. But thats, thats, how i got in the door. People werent expecting that i wouldnt leave. But, you know when i would be up on capitol hill here or any capital, you know, people would take the meeting. Just to sort of have a look at this, exotic creature or whatever, rock n roll person, but then, you know, i didnt leave.

And that idea is bound up in justice, equality for all. Equality and justice for all. To making america strong. I think he hijacked the party. D i think it is bigger than ck all of us. I think it is its, this is really dangerous. Why do you think this race is about even running against a woman who has been secretary of state, United States senator, of the United States . The race is about even. I would not diminish trump supporters. Or underestimate their angst. Because i feel that in a way they have correctly assessed that the center parties havent yet become clear. You are saying their angst is real and genuine. A sense that i worry about my country. And where it is. Yeah, yeah. There are very real problems facing not just america, facing europe. I remember, who is in the white house . Im irish. I didnt have a vote. I cant be telling people how to vote. Dont want to. But i have a voice. And i can say that who sits in that office, really affects everyone in this world. The overnight news will be some people are so upset with their choice this president ial election they called the whole thing a joke. Candidates and supporters arent helping matters by appearing on all the late night talk comedy shows the. Michelle obama was on the late show with Stephen Colbert last night.

But it is an invitation too hard to pass up. A lot of people are worried that Hillary Clinton isnt healthy enough to be president. A lot of people are worried that donald trump is. Reporter in an election season like no other, the candidates, Hillary Clinton and donald trump, have proven to be irresistible punch lines. Tomorrow, Hillary Clinton is going to be cleared of all email charges by judge judy. Reporter being a punchline is not the same as appearing in person. For a politician, late night fferent audience. Ch a nce to ght. Poked fun at him thursday over the past 12 months, donald trump hit the late night circuit seven times. Hillary clinton appeared eight times. Rather than holding a press conference with journalists to address her health. Hillary clinton did it with jimmy kimmel. Take my pulse. Oh, my god there is nothing there. Reporter late night interviews can be risky. Her gamble backfired weeks later when she nearly fainted in new york city. She said she is not dead.
