what i said is what i mean. so hopefully they'll understand, peter, exactly what i said and the meaning of those words. those words are very, very easy to understand. nobody loves a peaceful solution better than president trump, that i can tell you. hopefully it will all work out, but this has been going on for many years. would have been very easy to solve this years ago before they were in the position that they are in. we'll see what happens. lots of good things could happen and we could have a bad solution. we think lots of good things could happen. >> what would be a bad solution? >> i think you know the answer. >> when you say bad solutions, are you talking about war? is the u.s. going to go to war? >> i think you know the answer to that. >> cnn chief correspondent jim sciutto joins us. what more did he have to say? >> reporter: he said tonight he was speaking with the chinese president at xi jinping. it was scheduled to take place

at 8:00, a short time ago. the u.s. needs china's help. to some degree china needs the u.s.'s help. the president didn't give any clarity as to what u.s. military options are, also, what the broader strategy is, right? we don't know at this point, anderson, what the president's bel bellacose tone, if that's part of the security administration or if he's freelancing because at times he's contradicted it. he said that the primary focus was on the diplomatically led effort. >> earlier today the president was asked about diplomatic back channels and didn't respond. what's the reporting of that? are there back channels? >> cnn is reporting that there have been at least since february of this year, principally through the u.s. special representative for north korean affairs, joseph young, he actually traveled to north

korea, you may remember, when otto wormbier was brought back. in other over seas locals and his trips to north korea have been about americans detained there, there are still three others, but also about the broader relationship as well as lower level contacts, people not necessarily part of the government but speaking to officials. today that hasn't certainly warmed the relations but keeps a channel for discussions open. that's something that you've heard reference when you hear from secretary of defense mattis talking about diplomacy being the first choice for the trump administration. >> jim sciutto, thank you. i want to bring in the panel. paul, i'm wondering, how much do you think the president's rhetoric compared to secretary

of state and the secretary of defense, that it's part of an actual coherent strategy? that it's sort of good cop/bad cop. >> i had hoped that that was a strategy, but i don't think it is. first off, i wouldn't advise the president to be a bad cop. let the general be the bad cop. then the commandser in chief can be a good cop. they're not touting a lot of success that the president and the united nations have had. that's a big deal. even people like me are going to salute president trump for that. ambassador nikki haley at the u.n., secretary tillerson, he had the world community on his side by pursuing very tough actions but doing it without the bellacosity and threateningment thought of war. whether china would actually carry out the sanctions. there's one argument being made

that this tough rhetoric is going to invite the chinese to get more involved in north korea. >> i think his words are aimed at north korea as much aimed at chi china. i agree with paul. that hasn't ratcheted down north korea's rhetoric. i don't think president trump's position on north korea is any different. donald trump is saying the same thing that president obama said. the words mean if they have a nuclear weapon, we are going to take actions to stop them for having it. his position is the same as every other president before him. >> he's been saying any threats coming from north korea. today he's talking about

rhetorical threats. there's some question, did he mean actual threats against our allies, military maneuvers. he's talking about kim jong-un making threats. that would be intolerable. >> yes. i think this is being -- there's a message to north korea which scott is mentioning but there's a message to the republican base. the idea of olive branches to our foes drove practically every one of us crazy. this is being well received by republicans. donald trump is getting that feedback which means he's going to double down and triple down. he loves playing the tough guy, he loves the bluster. fire and fury, lock and loaded, they sound like the new titles for a van diesel film. but he is playing a game of chicken with an erratic, insane

man in north korea. >> he also disdains, this is part of what the base likes about donald trump, the role of leader of the free world. why not orchestrate multiple voices around the world putting measure on north korea. instead what we get is the bellacosity, comic book threats. he wants to take on this person physically, personally one on one which really sort of lets an important opportunity just get passed. >> part of his appeal in the campaign was he was a radical break with particularly the george w. bush neoconservative interventionist model. this is what he said, president-elect trump. he said we will stop racing to topple foreign regimes that we know nothing about.

we don't want to have a depleted military all over the place fighting in areas that we shouldn't be fighting in. that's how he won. traditional republicans like the bellacosity, they liked george w. bush. the people who gave him this win, they were much more about come home america. >> a couple of points important here, that the president -- we've got to make a distinction between calculated saber-rattling and uncalculated inconsisten inconsistency. what we've seen from this president is today where he has an opportunity to clarify his rhetoric. what he does is ramp up the rhetoric by suggesting that the north korean leader, that he personalized, that he owned what his generals have put forward. that does not in any way advance our interests. and the point being here is the

president of the free -- the leader of the free world and the commander in chief should not be speaking to the chinese like he's speaking to his base. that's dangerous. >> the other aspect of what's going on here, forget the master of the deal, he's the master of distract shup. there's a lot of wag the dog going on here. we're not thinking about paul manafort's house getting raided in the early morning. we're not talking about the russia investigation. so i think a lot of this is distracting us with a very good tactic. >> i've talked to former secretary of defense william perry who served under president clinton. he told me about what he thought was the north korean regime's

end game. >> they're not suicidal. they're not seeking martyrdom. they're trying to keep the kim dynasty sustained. that's what they're seeking. they are ruthless doespotic regime. it is what it is. now they have an arsenal of 20 nuclear weapons. >> saying they are an irrational actor. i think tom freedman said they're homicidal, not suicidal. >> i want to talk about something paul mentioned on this front. it's an interesting political point about the way donald trump talked about a foreign policy in a campaign. it set him apart. here's the other thing, the stated policy is we're not seeking a change. they have nuclear weapons. they don't even have to hit

anything in the united states. if they detonate one of these things in the atmosphere, it's enough to mess up with heightened circumstances beyond what previous presidents had to deal with. do we need to be prepared to bomb these? damn right. >> we're going to take a quick break. i want to get the panel's take on something. also coming up, the white house said the president was being sarcastic. it isn't the first time the white house has been using that term, sarcastic, to describe words the president said. keep it in mind just ahead. sori. ...isn't it time to let the real you shine through? maybe it's time for otezla (apremilast). otezla is not an injection or a cream. it's a pill that treats plaque psoriasis differently.

by boosting your white blood cell count, which strengthens your immune system. in a key study, neulasta reduced the risk of infection from 17% to 1%... ...a 94% decrease. applied the day of chemo, neulasta onpro is designed to deliver neulasta the next day. neulasta is for certain cancer patients receiving strong chemotherapy. do not take neulasta if you're allergic to neulasta or neupogen (filgrastim). ruptured spleen, sometimes fatal as well as serious lung problems, allergic reactions, kidney injuries, and capillary leak syndrome have occurred. report abdominal or shoulder tip pain, trouble breathing or allergic reactions to your doctor right away. in patients with sickle cell disorders, serious, sometimes fatal crises can occur. the most common side effect is bone and muscle ache. so why go back there? if you'd rather be home, ask your doctor about neulasta onpro. the president under the rhetoric. not just when it comes to north korea, he's bringing up the possibility of military action

in venezuela. >> i'm not going to rule out a military option. we have many options for venezuela. >> just last week h.r. mcmaster said this when asked about venezuela. >> do you see a military intervention from any outside source? >> no, i don't think so. i think what's really required is for everyone to have one voice about the need to protect the rights and the safety of the venezuelan people. >> just moments ago the venezuela president said the president's words were crazy acts. they said this plays into the hands of maduro in venezuela who has been talking about the u.s. trying to overthrow him. >> right. venezuela is a completely different situation. they're not aiming nuclear missiles at us. this has been going on for months and months and months. hundreds of people have died.

opposition leaders have been jailed. what's going on there is a disgrace. they are suffering. people are practically starving in what was a rich country and forfar too long the international community, including the united states, has sat idly by with this happening in our own hemisphere. what are we going to do? like what we did with manuel noriega in panama. go in and pluck him out and put him in a jail here? does he need to go? yes. we need for the international community to get activated, impose sanctions, be hard, support the opposition. military action from the united states, wag the dog. >> in fact, he got sanctions there, too. >> right. >> not international. sanctions for the top maduro thugs. they're just appalling. and a terrible human rights,

terrible for their country. it's great the united states is finally standing up the way president trump, i'll praise him again, we did in the last couple of weeks, but this notion now we should have a military option there. it's a pertempikin. we're not macing troops and southern command to go get venezuela. we're not moving dependents from either of those countries. there's 1/4 million of americans in north korea. there's what president trump says. it's scary, maybe even crazy. it's what the united states of america are doing, so far what we're doing diplomatically. >> zble -- in my mind what he says, he's only the president. >> which is very significant.

at what point does he become the boy who cried wolf? a lot of those actions have been led by comps. it's been people like senator marco rubio. trump has endorsed them. >> he's not the boy who cried wolf. let's not forget, a few weeks ago he fired 50 something cruz missiles inside syria. he will take action but he's not sure it's okay to take it off the table right out of the gate. i don't think you can leave -- i don't think it's wrong to leave something on the table but not make it your first, secretary, third option? we're not doing a regime change. that's what he's doing in the campaign. i want regime change in venezuela.

there are so many thousand and thousand of people. but what donald trump is saying, it's -- it's one thing to take military to speak in a way that's inconsistent with venezuela and north korea undermines the president's credibility in the aggregate. that's the problem with this organization. bringing up issues. >> it's interesting. the president has gotten a lot of criticism from reporters. we've seen him now, i think he's taken some 50 questions in the last two days alone. do you think this is some sort of change? clearly seems to like it. these are not forced briefings. >> people who have reported on trump have discovered, and god

bless all the people who were stuck at a stake out at bedminster. they may get the longest press conference since february. he is impulsive. he does things sort of off the cuff. there was clearly no directed message. he likes to engage. it's one of the good thing about being a journalist covering him. >> it's one of the things during the campaign, i publicly sort of spoke well of him for, being willing to sit down for a free ranging interview. he would answer questions that other politicians wouldn't. there was that time that a gorilla got loose and got shot. what should have been done with that? he answered. most people -- >> words i'll never forget. >> we touched on the president's rhetoric. focusing on the white house's explanation the white house

this. >> i want to thank him because we're cutting down on payroll. and i'm thankful he let go of a large number of people because now we have a smaller payroll. >> that was the president yesterday appearing to thank vladimir putin for cutting 750 employees in russia. today, sarah huckabee sanders said the president was being sarcastic. it's not the first time we heard the president say something incendia incendiary. time and time again, it's the tweets or off-the-cuff remarks, it's let his advisers to scramble for excuses. president obama accused of wiretapping him. the press secretary said he meant broad surveillance. that was one of four tweets. two using the quotation marks and two not. maybe he half-meant it. and recently in front of police officers, he made remarks about use of force that caused controversy. >> when you see these towns and

these thugs being thrown into the back of a paddy wagon, you see them thrown in, rough. i said, please don't be too nice. like when you guys put somebody in the car and you're protecting their head, you know, the way you put the hand over. like, don't hit their head. you can take the hand away, okay? >> well, this time the white house said the president was only joking. in big ways and small, from the president on down, during the campaign and in his presidency, the message has been the president doesn't mean what the words coming out of his mouth might indicate. or as one surrogate put it -- >> the media takes trump literally. not seriously but literally. a lot of the voters who vote for trump take trump seriously but not literally. >> clearly, it may serve candidate trump well.

but in the time when lives of millions of people in south korea, north korea, japan, guam, chinese, all depend on kim jong-un taking the president seriously and literally, is now the time for the president to be less than straightforward about everything he says. just to come full-circle about the sarcastic remarks about vladimir putin. the president vagued in again. and reopened the door that maybe he wasn't kidding after all. >> were you being sarcastic when you thanked vladimir putin for expelling 755 diplomats from russia? >> in order to reduce our payroll, absolutely. i think you know that. we'll see. in fact, i was just speaking to -- just speaking to the secretary. and we're talking about coming up with an answer when -- rex, tell me. >> by september 1st. >> by september 1st. we have reduced payroll. >> michael, just in your experience with donald trump as

a civilian, is sarcasm something you heard from the president? >> well, humor, no. he's not the kind of person who actually tells a joke because you have to have empathy for the people listening. and he doesn't have much empathy for people listening. so, jokes are sort of beyond him. but sarcasm is sort of his forte. he's often very sarcastic. it's a way of cutting someone down and using a sort of bitter rhetoric to make a point. but it also allows him to declare what he really meant after the fact. he can say something, see how it goes over. if it goes over well, it was serious. if it doesn't go over well, i was only kidding. i was only sarcastic. it's like the guy who goes out with his wife and says, a cutting remark able her dress. and then, on the way home, says, well, i was only kidding. i love your dress. he can have it both ways and

every which way by doing this. >> is it -- obviously, when you're president, every word you say is parsed. it doesn't seem like, though, he is adjusting to that. it's the same way of communicating. same way of talking, which worked well throughout his life and during the campaign. in a situation like this, if the stakes are high. >> selling timeshares in a condo is one thick. and running for president is one thing. it's all about big promises. and god knows every politician puffs some flakes. when you have 4,000 nuclear weapons at your sole command, you better be careful about your words, especially about the forces. i think it should be everything. but can we get him on the forces? he has around him some of the best generals our country has produced. he has judge dunford, chairman of the joint chiefs. mattis at the pentagon. he has kelly as his chief of staff. and mcmaster as his national

security adviser. surely those men are telling him, sir, when we're talking about our world, talking about putting our troops in danger, you be very careful. >> general mattis made remarks, talking about war, you don't need to use other words. everyone knows the reality of it. >> the problem with this administration is, the example being set, at the very top. the president has used irresponsible rhetoric with response to the military. he tweets a transgender ban and puts servicemen and women at the risk of losing their careers. the same week our state department, our ambassadorial staff in cuba, is subject to a sonic attack, he is speaking irresponsibly with respect to those who are serving in russia.

he speaks irresponsibly with respect to the north koreans, in terms of tweeting and asserting threats that are not really threats and might be threats. he needs to clarify whether or not they're threats. the fact of the matter is, he is no longer a reality tv star. he is our president. meaning, he has a responsibility to those in uniform. a responsibility to those in the state department. and most importantly, responsibility to the citizenry and the constitution. that demands a seriousness and thoughtfulness. >> there's going to come a time, in this country, where it's not if, but when. there's going the be a natural disaster. a man made disaster. when we need to hear from our president. if he wants to be funny, he can go to white house correspondents dinner. if he wants to be funny, go to late night. being funny about u.s. diplomats

getting expelled from russia, does not pass the smell test. should not be allowed, should not be justified and explained away as a lame attempt as humor. >> this was a ron burgundy moment for the president. milk was not a great choice. i picked up on the sarcasm. i think a lot of folks picked up on the sarcasm. but it's not the right time. people in service, put themselves in harm's way. they love their jobs and love their country. i take the white house at its word. i take the president that this was sarcasm. but sometimes the sarcasm isn't warntd karnted. and this is one of those cases. >> unlike past presidents, we don't hear this president speaking the names of dissidents who are rotting away in prips in the world.

victims of the russian regime. victims of the north korean regime. when does he start to say their names, speak out on behalf of human rights? on human dignity? things that scott's old boss was good about, whether you liked his politics or not. it has a huge impact for somebody who is in complete obscurity, hoping that the leader of the free world, hoping that somebody on the outside world with a megaphone and power to do something, is going to speak up for them. while we're trying to parse whether he means to start a war or not start a war, whether he means to excuse an outrageous breach of protocol. there's more that can be done. but we can't get there, as long as we create a special space for donald trump. >> maybe he means it. >> if it was sarcasm, today he had another opportunity to condemn the act. condemn what putin did.

>> he said that and then, the white house describes it as sarcasm. they announce they're going to come up with a policy on september 1st, how to respond with what vladimir putin did. this happened days ago. you think they could have said something much earlier, we're going to come up with a policy. >> it would be nice for donald trump to condemn what vladimir putin is doing, instead of so easily does, against mitch mcconnell or lisa majkowski. breaking news, a phone call between the president and the leader of guam. and the one-sided feud about trump and mcconnell continues. is the president being strategic or bombastic? crab lover's dream and new favorites like dueling crab legs with dungeness and snow crab. it's happening right now right here at crabfest. red lobster. now this is seafood. i am totally blind. and non-24 can throw my days and nights out of sync, keeping me from the things i love to do.

governor of guam, representing the people of guam, as an american citizen, i never felt so safe or confident, with you at the helm. all of the criticism going on over there, for a guy that's being targeted, we need a president like you. i'm so thankful. and i'm glad you're holding the he helm, sir. >> we're going to do a great job. and they should have had me somebody with my thought process. that was the guy. but frankly, you could have said that for the last three presidents. but you're going to be taken care of. i have to tell you, you've become extremely famous all around the world. they're talking about guam and talking about you. and i think your tourism -- i can say this. you're going to go up like ten-fold with the expenditure of no money. >> back, now, with the panel. so, clearly -- there is this red

line about guam, really, i guess set for tuesday, when north korea said they were going to fire missiles or potentially fire missiles toward guam. >> toward. but didn't say they're going to inincinerate guam. the president said, if they threaten, and he means verbally threaten, we're going to rain fire and fury upon them. they've threatened again and again. >> if kim jong-un himself threatens. >> i find that interesting. over there, kim has his generals saying the bellicose things. he is holding back, than the president is being the bad cop. >> to anna's point earlier, doesn't that -- there's an argument you made that it helps the president look strong. and for the people -- people rally around the president. >> i have a different view of his base.

they are isolationist types. a lot of people put him over the top. they didn't want america to police the world. and i saw donald trump go to a south carolina primary and said to jeb bush's face, your brother did not keep us safe. he won south carolina in a landslide. he got elected, i think, in part on an isolationist message. >> it's different. you can still have an isolationist message if you believe the united states is being threatened by the potential for intercontinental ballistic missiles from knot kor north korea. >> and don't forget the obama aspect here. this is what obama did. that plays well with the republican base. >> isolationism, to your point, is about not policing the rest of the world. guam is us. we are guam. they're americans. this is our people. we have military facilities there. thousands of soldiers there. a governor who is a proud

american citizen. i don't view ignoring guam as viable. any attack on guam is an attack on the united states of america. i think his base would understand that and not default to the position you said. >> guam was only threatened after the president said, if you make more threats, i'll incinerate your country. this didn't begin with guam. this began with north korea testing missiles and apparently having a capacity to miniaturize a warhead. and our president saying, if you threaten, i'll incinerate. and i think that's too bellicose for most americans. >> the president has drawn, a red, purple, pink line, relative to north korea. he's drawn a red line, relative to his predecessors. relative to president bush, president obama. i'm not going to do what they did. not defining what he will do. this is, again, dangerous,

gum® brand. for the third day in a row, the president went after the sunset majority leader of his own party. senator mitch mcconnell. take a look. >> people have talked about repeal and replace, for seven years. long before i decided to do what i'm doing. seven years, they've been talking repeal and replace and it didn't happen. and not only didn't happen, it was a surprise. and it was a horrible surprise. it was very unfair to the republican party and unfair to the people of this country. so, i with us not -- i was not impressed. >> the strategy doesn't seem to be working so well for the president. high-ranking gop members are speaking out in support of mcconnell. the senator is sticking with no comment. i spoke with george mitchell who is a friend of mitch mcconnell for his take on all this. as former senate majority leader yourself, when you hear the president attack mitch mcconnell

now for the third-straight day, what depose througoes through y? does it make sense? >> i think it's unfair and unwise. think for a moment about what senator mcconnell did. he persuaded 96% of republicans in the senate, to vote for a bill that had a support of 17% of the american people. a bill that was so bad that some of the republicans that voted for it, denounced it in advance. and other republicans who voted for it, insisted that they be assured in advance that it would not become law. before they voted it. and he got 49 out of 52 votes. i think that's rather extraordinary. i don't think it was the manager that was the problem. it was the message. the substance of the bill that was advanced in the senate. and in the house would be disastrous for the american

people, if they were enacted into law. i think with the president's action, first, and so i think the president action first misplaced the blame and secondly makes it harder for the president in the future reflects i think in part a support for senator mcconnell within his caucus. >> is there a strategy, though, from the president's standpoint in criticizing mcconnell? does it help him with the people who elected him? does it help him with his base to try to create some distance between himself and historically unpopular congress? >> well, i'm unable to discern any strategy that would be helpful to the president in this regard except the one of avoiding responsibility for any failure and pinning it on someone else. but i think it is a real mistake to antagonize the majority leader, especially since as i said, senator mcconnell, i

think, through his tactics and approach achieved a truly remarkable feat of getting 49 out of 52 senators to vote for one of the worst bills that's been presented in congress in recent years. i don't agree with senator mcconnell's politics, but i think he himself representing the cause of the republican party and the administration has done a very good job tactically. >> what is the strategic danger for the president in doing this, and in speaking ill of the mcconnell and going him day after day? i'm sure in the past not all presidents and their majority leaders have gotten along privately. >> this is, i think, uncharted territory, anderson. i'm not sure how it will turn out. senator mcconnell hasn't said much in recent days. but he's bound to be antagonized by this and it can't possibly help him at home. i think it will anger some of his colleagues. many of whom have rushed out to support him and express their support for him. they'll make calculations on

their own future but i can't see how this could possibly help the president in the difficult legislative struggles that are ahead. he still has got health care, he has got infrastructure, he has got tax reform. he's got a whole range of issues that confront him. and i would think he would want to take steps now to modify his criticism of the senate majority leader because i don't think he is going to be able to replace him. >> senator mcconnell once paid you a compliment. he wanted to run the senate like you did by treating everyone with respect. do you think he will be able to move beyond the jabs that he is receiving? >> yes, i do. i think he has a responsibility, not just to the president, obviously he has to the members of his caucus, but everyone has a higher responsibility to the country, to the constitution. and i know senator mcconnell pretty well. i regard him as a friend,

although i said i don't agree with much of his politics nor he with mine. i think he will be able to rise above it and still move forward on the legislation they have. but it's bound to have an effect with him and with his colleagues. it also pose as risk in the house. what do the house leaders see when they observe this in the senate? anything goes wrong, they're going to get the blame. >> senator mitchell, i appreciate your time. thank you. >> thanks for having me. >> we have more breaking news tonight in venezuela. the story accelerating tonight in wake of the president's remarks mentioning u.s. military action there was possible. president maduro has requested a phone call with prumpb. the white house responded president trump will gladly speak with the leader of venezuela as soon as democracy is restored. >> we just sat out here a few minutes ago and everybody but me pooh-poohed the idea that the military option should be left on the table in a statement by the president. and look what happens? he leaves the military option on the table, and the president of

venezuela freaks out and calls the white house. i'd say the president's got results today. >> maduro was not freaking out. by the way, that was a perfect response from the white house. maduro was not freaking out. he was calling the white house to stage a publicity stunt, which as anderson said this helps him, the imperialist pigs against us. that's the message. he was doing a publicity stunt. >> he got a gift from donald trump. >> right. >> maduro is a thug and an autocrat. and now he is a dictator. the one thing he needs is the great american colonial power. their currency is called a bolivar. they're all about standing up against imperialism. for a the president who should be standing for democracy, he is bolstering maduro by giving him an external threat to rally his country guest. >> the white house's response is pitch perfect. we should not be talking to maduro.

>> and there is obviously a history of u.s. intervention which resonated with some people in venezuela. >> and we've seen in nicaragua and in panama and in grenada. >> in the republican -- >> right. >> do you think the president continues to talk about venezuela? is this a subject you expect to hear, because we haven't heard much from him on this. >> does he know where it is? he said it is very close to our neighbors. it is 2,000 miles -- i guess global sense, that is kind of in the neighborhood. but that is a big neighborhood. >> it is also -- one more opportunity to sort of remand remind everybody that we don't have a coherent policy. we didn't hear one for this hemisphere and didn't hear it during the campaign and not hearing it now. he talked about venezuela but clearly there is a need to rally the region to talk to our allies in the region and have a different kind of conversation. at this point, we're building a with mexico. we're restricting travel to cuba. we're threatening military intervention in venezuela. what ties it together other than a series of statements from the

president? >> we have to take a break. more news ahead. we'll be right back. [ gasps, laughs ] you ever feel like... cliché foil characters scheming against a top insurer for no reason? nah. so, why don't we like flo? she has the name your price tool, and we want it. but why? why don't we actually do any work? why do you only own one suit? it's just the way it is, underdeveloped office character. you're right. thanks, bill. no, you're bill. i'm tom. you know what? no one cares.

a trip back to the dthe doctor's office, mean just for a shot. but why go back there, when you can stay home... ...with neulasta onpro? strong chemo can put you at risk of serious infection, which could lead to hospitalizations. in a key study, neulasta reduced the risk of infection from 17% to 1%... ...a 94% decrease. applied the day of chemo, neulasta onpro is designed to deliver neulasta the next day, so you can stay home.

neulasta is for certain cancer patients receiving strong chemotherapy. do not take neulasta if you're allergic to neulasta or neupogen (filgrastim). ruptured spleen, sometimes fatal as well as serious lung problems, allergic reactions, kidney injuries, and capillary leak syndrome have occurred. report abdominal or shoulder tip pain, trouble breathing or allergic reactions to your doctor right away. in patients with sickle cell disorders, serious, sometimes fatal crises can occur. the most common side effect is bone and muscle ache. so why go back there? if you'd rather be home, ask your doctor about neulasta onpro.

thanks for watching "360." time now for "the nineties: terrorism hits home." there are people in this country who are furious at the federal government. >> they have a right to believe whatever they want. they do not have a right to kill americans. >> there is a massive explosion in oklahoma city, oklahoma. >> we shouldn't lose vigilancesy. the terrorists often takes the path of least resistance and strikes when and where we least expect them to. >> what are your future plans? >> you'll see them and hear about them in the media, god willing.
