Koreas dictator to shape up. They better get their act together or they will be in trouble like few nations have ever been in trouble. An officer of the korean peoples armer told kcna we consider the u. S. No more than a lump which we can beat to a jelly any time. Lets debrief with our reporters he here. Kelly odonnell is joining us from the president s summer house. Migu courtney is keeping an eye on the military response at the pentag pentagon. Let us start with you. There will be a meeting today with nikki hailey and h. R. Mcmaster today. He is not moderating his tone at all, is it intentional . It appears to be intentional. Tough talk dmomestically and in Foreign Policy matters. It is his way of projecting what he believes is u. S. Strength, these are not the conventional ways of dealing with this level of heightened tension, this is the president s style and he is committed to it. It is an opportunity to get the first person accounts of secretary tillerson and nikki hailey that have been directly involved with other World Leaders from the relevant countries here. The secretary of state was here for a summit with issues related to north korea, and we know that nikki hailey was in the center of trying to broke near u. N. Sanction where the entire Security Council council was in agreement that may were trying to penalize north korea economically. So expect the president to keep doing his technicolor language. That is just who he is. Today is an opportunity for perhaps of a bit more sober encounter where he and top officials of his administration that have the relevant experience and contacts are able to give him the latest briefing. We expect to here from the president later today, and see him interacting with the top officials. Bill, the president is saying that the u. S. Military is locked and loaded. What is the reaction on the korean peninsula. Well to pick up on kellys point, people would prefer it was not technicolor language. Every time that donald trump talks from fire and fury to locks and loaded, the temperature here soars and people here fear they would be the First Casualty of any conflict. Along with the forng meign mini, the german chancellor. They voice their concerns today and the people are concerned. The u. S. Military has a phrase ready to fight tonight. Thats the slogan of the military base here. Theyre locked and loaded the entire time. I gather in washington the u. S. Military said no change in the alert status of troops here, so looks and loaded they may be, but that is not a change. There was a call today between h. R. Mcmaster and his south korean counter part, and they agreed they would agree on all of the steps Forward Together in this crisis. South korea saying that the u. S. Will not act unilaterally without consulting their allies first of all. Here, the government does announce that Civil Defense drills later this month, theyre regular, will be expanded and also south korea confirming those military exercises with the u. S. , which of course the north sees as a real provocation, they will go ahead involving tens of thousands of troops. Lets get a reality check. Bill was saying that locked and loaded is always the status for the troops there in south korea. Has there been any change when the president says locked and loaded. Does he mean there has been a change with troops and the meant go pentagon . No, they are always at a heightened state, they have been persistent for several years now. The u. S. Maintains a defensive and offensive capability in that area. The defensive is the t. H. A. D. , an antimissile system. They also have navel presence that has the ability to shoot down or take out a missile with north korea could strike it or launch one. And the capabilities in the form of surface missiles. There is also b1 bombers that fly regularly out of guam and can fly near north korea and drop bombs, and the nfl presence that h naval presence which is offensive. The bases in south korea, bases in japan, and a naval base and an air base in guam. So these are people, there are tens of thousands of u. S. Troops in the region, and theyre always ready. Their motto is ready to fight tonight and theyre always in the heightened state of ready. Today, theyre issues guidelines, walk us through that. Okay, the government and the governor are trying to walk a fine line and tell everyone here to be calm and be patient. Not to worry, but also trying to get the 160,000 americans that live here prepared for the attack. They released a sobering attack cheat saying that the folks in the island should not look towards the sky for fear they could be blinded. If the area was hit by a Ballistic Missile, they should immediately take cover, a low basement if possible, or behind a build building. Also that anyone outside should immediately come inside and watch off any debris or anything fallen on their body or clothes. Really sobering thoughts for the 15,000 tourists that come for a few days looking for relaxation and time away from troubles at home. Coming to the beautiful beaches as the sun gets set to rise here over the weekend. The fact sheet rolling out to the 160,000 people that live here fulltime on a regular basis are more accustomed to the warnings from north korea or the heightened rhetoric. They say they were taken aback if a missile strike did happen in this area. It has to be disconcerting when you get those guidelines handed to you. Bill neily, courtcourtney, a kelly odonnell. Also, eisha roscoe. Glenn, i want to start with you. The president s words when it comes to north korea, technicolor language. Were also learning that there was a back channel going on between a u. S. Diplomat and a north korreorean diplomat. So is the u. S. Government trying to be diplomatic, trying to open a channel of negotiation, or communication at the very least with the North Koreans while the president maintains a hard line position . This attitude that he is always the strongest person around . Are they trying to have their cake and eat it, too . I look at it this way, it is sort of like professional wrestling meets high wire diplomacy, right . Is that a good thing . When youre talking about two Nuclear Capable countries no. Katie, i guess were about to find out, right . You can look at the mattis statement that he put out right after the president spoke. Like a version of what the president said, you know, out in betminister. My solution all along is the president s belief they could come to a resolution. And the other thing that im hearing from u. S. Officials in general is there is a high degree of skepticism about the regimes capacity to driver a Ballistic Missile as far as guam. There is a fairly significant likelihood of a failure that could be embarrassing to kim. That may be factoring in. In general, however, i think the one thing im getting from a lot of white house officials is whatever theyre having in terms of briefings and conversations, they conclude those, and the president goes out and amps it up more. And our allies are reacting around the world. Here is a smattering of them. Prime minister of new zealand calling the tlaehreats not help. German chancellor Angela Merkel saying the rhetoric is the wrong answer, should any of these reactions impact the way the president is handling this confli conflict . I think it seems like that is probably doubtful. The president is not known for listening to european allies or listens to foreign leaders and what they have to say about decorum. He said maybe i was not tough enough. He, i think, the president , is looking at trying to portray a picture of american strength. Dont mess with us, were tough. So i dont see, from just his personality, that these comments from other World Leaders would draw him back. If anything they might make him spur him to do more. How well thought south this . We know this president has a tendency to exaggerate. We saw it when he talked about an armada racing to the corners of korea when that was not happening. Is this the president talking big but not backing himself with any actions. The pentagon says nothing has changed in terms of their military readiness. Yeah, look, i mean you know the truth of the matter is, and i think this is something that supreme to consider. Whoever the president would be at this time, including hillary clinton, the miniatureization of the missiles would have brought a strong response to anyone. First of all, i think you cant discount the roll of domestic politics in this. He is in a thaerm has seen a lot of hits to public approval. Polling this week showed people did not trust him on this issue. This is a man that wants to project strength. Were very familiar with this, he needs to personalize every conflict. I was struck by his language when he say saying no, theyre going to get up with over me like they did obama. It is him taking large problems and boiling it down to him versus someone else. Glenn thrush with an astute insight into the mind of the president of the United States. Wonderful to have you both here, hope you a good weekend. Next up, friendly fire.

Call your office, he has his sights tent on you, mitch, the one man that can help him get anything done in washington. Now our new president has not been in this line of work before, expectations about how quickly things happen. Trump has been blasted mcconnell on twitter. Get to work, put repeal and relace tax reform, cuts, and a great infrastructure will on my desk for signing. Can you believe that Mitch Mcconnell who screamed repeal and replace for years could not get it done. Sorry for mispronouncing your name there, how are they going after the majority leader . A number of senators are standing by pretty close. They are kind of standing with the president. Susan . But they are changing their mind. Members of his own staff, who really go out on a limb to defend the president , to say she doing a great job. He repays that by just throwing people under the bus when he feels like it is expedient for himself. There is no viable strategy that works this way. President trump, he has this old congressional saying, and he is just playing the outsider route. That only works when youre not the president of the United States. I think his strategy, he is not getting anything done, so instead of taking the responsibility himself, he is taking it to congress. His Approval Ratings as low as they are are still higher than there is in congress. He might as well put the blame on somebody else. Thats right, absolutely, and folks in the white house tend to agree saying they will stand in the face of the president. Why dont they just break from the president and get what they want done done. I think well see quiet negotiations when it comes to the debt ceiling and the budget. They will have to work together. The president just wants to respond and be aggressive against people who doesnt like what theyre saying. It was with him, and it goes against that saying. He can put everything he wants. Health care is easy he said. If he wanted to be that outsider president , he could have started it off, and look like an independent to accomplish something. But he doesnt want to make the prediction. My guess is that we see not tax reform, but tax cut first. A tax cut, but not a massive reform in. No, i dont think so. Theyre going to have to. Will the government shut down . Youre my oracle. My magic 8 ball says try another time. Alana shore, ladies, thank you very much. Next up, is Robert Mueller trying to flip Paul Manafort .

Earlier this year in austin, surveillance cameras caught the moment a bmw plunged off of a driving dell. The driver mistook the brakes for the gas. She was seriously injured, but survived thanks to the quick thinks of construction workers near by. You see them right there. To london where there is growing drama over Surveillance Video of a man pushing a woman into the math of a london bus. They have arrested an American Investment banker saying he is the man, but theyre saying no way their client was in the states when it happened. Unclear if he is still in custody. If youre feeling lucky, the two largest lotteries have a big jackpot worth more than 735 million combined. The megamillions is whether or not 382, tomorrows power ball, 356 million. The First Time Ever that u. S. Lottery players have been able to take their chances on simultaneous jackpots that top 300 million. Investigations dont take have indications. Just ask Paul Manafort. Investigators reached out to their family, and a grand jury issued spps. They hired themselves new lawyers from the same firm that represents julian assange. Trump is trying to keep his dans from the fbi chair. I thought it was a very, very strong signal or whatever. I know that he was with the campaign for a very short period of time, but i have always known him to be a good man. I thought it was very they do that very seldom, so i was surprised to see it, very, very surprised to see it. He was also asked about firing Robert Mueller, but that doesnt quite jive with something he told the New York Times the other week. If the special council was looking into trump finances it would be a violation. Joining me now, michael schmidt, and clint watts. Michael, the president s latest comments contradict what he reportedly said in the past. You heard that violation comment. Is the president trying to change his tune when it comes to the special council . We know that. When he sat down last month, he was agitated with mueller, he was thinking of his aides. Saying how could be get rid of him. But yesterday he said it is the complete opposite. What i think were seeing is that he is not considering it right now. It looks like he has been talked out of it, but the idea that he looked at it and did not consider it is just not accurate. Bloomberg is also reporting that Paul Manafort told authorities about that june 9th meeting between don jr. , jared kushner, and folks that said they were with the russian government. So what does paulmanafort stand to gain by being the one to reveal that. The one that is least implicated, ultimately. If you bring it to their attention, youre not trying to hide that meeting. What i think is interesting is the president s concerns have been around money. I dont want anyone looking into my finances. They are looking for tax records, foreign final clumts. That is a fear. The president and his team, the white house, have been trying to distance themselves from Paul Manafort. Sean spicer said he played a limited role in the campaign and thats just not true. Is there any concern in the white house that you heard about about going off Paul Manafort and what it reveals for this situation. Mueller went ahead with a search warrant. Its not like he asked for the search warrant. Was he trying to tend a message to manafort. Its not clear why they went with a different step, and they said this is a way to jolt and scare someone into the information. That are caught folks especially for those that acknowledgment. We have to r
