and as it extends its reach towards louisiana. and we'll be right back here tomorrow night with "the five" at 9:00 p.m., set your dvrs and if not, just join us. good night. ♪ ♪ >> sean: welcome to "hannity," this is a fox news alert, we are following several major breaking news stories tonight, record rainfall continues to wreak havoc on texas as a tropical storm harvey now moves east and is causing flooding in louisiana on the 12th anniversary of hurricane katrina making landfall. the mayor of houston is now imposing a curfew starting at midnight local time and we are also monitoring overflowing reservoirs and a levy that is now releasing more water into a flood ravage city.it our reporters are on the groundo with all the very latest, that and president trump and the first lady, they had to texas to survey the devastation firsthand and offer their support. no matter what the president and first lady do, they are constantly under attack.

even during devastation. we'll check into night with the texas governor greg abbott, he is here, he'll join us in a few minutes. the liberal mainstream media their hatred resorted to petty attacks while millions of americans are suffering tonight. a very important opening monologue. ♪ president donald trump in the first lady visited texas today, to assess the damage and offer their support to the victims of hurricane harvey. here's the president from earlier today, take a look. >> my folks are telling me how great your representatives havet been in working together, it's a real team. it happened to texas and texas can handle anything, thank you. thank you. h [cheers and applause] it's showing tremendous love and

coordination, and so many things are coming out in texas. and the country in the whole world is seeing and gaining respect for everybody, the job you have done is, incredible. >> sean: the president was on the ground doing what leaders do, that's leading the recovery efforts that are still ongoing. tonight we have more evidence of proof that the president can do nothing right in the eyes of the establishment destroy trump mainstream media. i told you last week, if he cured cancer, the left in the country would still find a reason to hated him. the left erupted earlier today when the president and first lady departed from texas, leaving the white house, why? all because melania trump wasru wearing heels to get on marine one. take a look at some of these insane, ridiculous reactions, keep in mind, this is going on while portions of houstonou are buried under water and people's lives are being saved. "vanity fair" rights who wears stilettos to a hurricane?

"people" magazine put up the headline first lady melania trump sticks to stilettos as she flooded texas. here's the headline fromtt hollywood reporter, melania trump wears stilettos toward houston flood zone, no joke. fake news amanda carpenter tweeting someone tell her she might want a pair of rain boots. of course, the truncating hollywood liberal chelsea handler got in on the actionncli with its tweet melania taking off for houston on air force one and stilettos. it is very sad that we have an active ongoing natural disaster in texas and people are worried about her shoes. there's also the fact that after the first lady did arrive in texas, she wasn't wearing high heels, look at this quotee

now she's wearing sneakers. it just shows how desperate, hos petty, and how pathetic the left and the media is in this country and frankly just how low will these people go? they have these fake moral outrage, it knows no bounds. they will literally attack the present, first lady, his staff, over any tiny minuscule thing. no matter how absurd it might be. that's not all. some members of the destroy trump media are actually criticizing the president decision to go to texas and offer reassurance and help to people in their time of need and suffering. watch this. >> do you think he's going to be redirected resources -- could they be used in houston right now and other areas that are currently experiencing flooding? >> it takes resources for a presidential trip like this and some of president obama's old aides say they support the idea that the president would go down there but this is simply too soon. >> president trump is heading there today, is that a good idea?

>> is it too soon for a presidential visit? >> is it too soon for the president to be there, probably it is.. >> sean: a reporter from then' fake news network cnn claim to the president wasn't showing empathy, really? watch this. >> one thing i am struck by seeing all the stories of emotion, the stories of devastation still unfolding, we do not know the extent of the damage here. very little in terms of empathy from this president, very little in terms of emotion or talking directly to the people of texas. he's been talking about the businesses, talking about the response. >> sean: cnn's republican commentator ava navarro responded to a tweet from president trump about leaving for texas and writing as if the people of texas aren't already enduring enough suffering. what's interesting about that,pe we learned today for my report that cnn's republican donated a lot of money to prominent democrats.

what republican would donateof o the likes of debbie wasserman schultz and other left-wingers that are out there, people on the left? it sounds like a fake republican at a fake news network, more proof that the left is completely unhinged and is this why we have now diagnosed them considering they want to diagnose everybody else and we call it trump derangement syndrome.e the president did go down to texas, he did offer support and he did let millions of fellow americans who are suffering know that he will do everything in his power to help them. somehow the left in this country, the media try to twist and distort the president's words and actions to score cheap political points, very cheap points. texas has been devastated, they are part of our american family, they've lost lives, they lost neighbors and loved ones. so many others have lost everything they've worked for their entire adult lives, they've lost their homes. everything they own, this natural disaster is far from over. it's only the beginning of it. you would think the left, you

would think the hate destroy trump media would've for a second maybe try to stop their smear campaign against the presidents. maybe just for one day while he's down there doing his job, trying to help people in need. i guess that's too much to ask. frankly, it's despicable and disgusting and you people should all be ashamed of yourselves. joining us from reaction, joe concha and kayla mcelhinney. i should expect it. i said last week. i literally said, if he found a cure for cancer, it wouldn't be good enough for these people. >> that's right, what you just played, what you just said in your monologue, it is so sad. this is a national tragedy. i would hope we could have a moment where we are a political and pro-american. you have some of these reporters out there tweeting about melania trump's heels. where were the tweets about the salvador family, for children swept away in their van and all lost their lives. where were the tweets about

officer steve perez who lost his life at 4:00 a.m., took to the streets out to help americans. these are heroes, we need to rally around these victims, lift up the victims instead of tearing down the first lady because of her shoe choice, this is absurd. >> sean: joe you are distinct in the media camp, i love the people who are media critics like that guy at "the washington post," with his 30,000 twitter followers as if we care. when it becomes his personal over the first lady. if it was a democrat first lady, michelle obama, and you talked about her clothes on national tv, why do i know that it would have been handled a lotot differently? why do these people that claim a monopoly for compassion for poor people, claiming to be on the right side civil rights, gay rights, inti

this particular case on the side of women. how did they get away with this? >> you have to look at precedence you have to look at sandy and the coverage around that with president obama and trump now. the elite here, is how has the president, fema, u.s. government, local resources, first responders. how have they done on the ground in houston and in that area? by almost all accounts, considering the circumstances, this is one of the most catastrophic weather events we have ever seen.n. the response has been as good as it can be.er that should be the lead story. as you said, we're talkingto about melania trump's heels of a thousand miles away that she was wearing before she even got on the plane. the best part is, the people who are making these sort of criticisms are doing from comfy studios in new york, washington, and out in hollywood. there's a total disconnect. >> sean: there really is a disconnect. we want to help people for 5 minutes for crying out loud,

these people have lostan everything, friends, neighbors, loved ones. what would it have been like if a conservative did say that about hillary clinton or michelle obama? remember how the media reacted, about having women's resumes he wanted to hire? >> you look after super storm sandy, president obama was in new jersey just two days after the storm. there was glowing praise for him, there was glowing praise for how he handled that situation. there should have been, he does a good job. where is that same praise for president trump?ul i saw greg abbott get on this network and say i have never in my life had better coordination between a national government, a federal government and a state than i see now. i looked at the president, he said i saw the compassion in his eyes, i saw those care for these people. instead of giving president trump a moment he deserves and letting us comehe together as a nation, its criticism, it's tearing him down it, it's unfair to the president

who has done a great job. it's unfair to those people inre texas who are drowning in those floodwaters and the people in the mainstream media are focusing on high heels ande stilettos. >> one big criticism that i've seen at least this evening has been a sound bite from donald trump. i've seen this often with this president where they take a three or four second sound bite and creates their own context and narrative around it. he said when he was at a firehouse near corpus christi, what a crowd, what a turnout. the entire transcript of those comments, it was very supportive of those people, it was the empathy people are talking about. he was promising things, saying he was going to get things done in the crowd of a couple hundred people cheered afterwards. it reminded me of the 2016 election where on the grounds. there was one sentiment and the way the president was received in a certain area and then in the ivory towers in new york ane washington like i talked about before, the commentary is completely different. >> sean: let me ask you this, by all accounts, you're right. there are three components to any successful disaster relief.

we watched neighbor helping neighbor, risking their lives, literally saving lives. we saw people with expertise, the military, and a former enforcement officials. they were on the ground. people like the cajun navy, these guys were amazing, neighbor helping neighbor. then you have the state and local governments, they've got to coordinate -- will have governor abbott on in a minute -- the only failure i saw was a democratic mayor who wouldn't take his own governor's call and wouldn't take the advice of everybody to tell the people to evacuate and said go back to your homes. that was a mistake. of >> this is not katrina. we are seeing coordination between local resources and the local authorities with the federal government. i would say it's been spot on, you're going to have your exceptions, but overall the

president should be getting praise here and instead there is a reflex toward the negativeth every time because that's just the way it's done. >> sean: you mean like russia and north korea end of the president is good to start a nuclear war? >> remember what the narrative was, this was the big test for the president, can he pass it? how he's passed it, they tip it to other things that something that may stick. >> sean: last word.to >> i really wish the media would unite us rather than divide us, this is a time that we have to come together. we depend on people like you to expose this, we have to come it's time for the media to bring us together, not tear us apart. >> sean: good to see you both, great points. we're going to focus on the people of texas, when we come t back we'll speak with our reporters live on the ground. talk about the needs of those people and in louisiana and the latest on the catastrophic flooding. the governor of the great state of texas, greg abbott. he's here to talk about the president's visit to the lone star state and what they need for relief efforts, laura ingraham weighs in on all of this as we continue this busy breaking news night here on "hannity."ffah

>> what i have learned as we can count on the president of the united states and his staff for helping texas. texas has been tested but our response to this challenge has been made much more effective because of the very effective way the president and his staff have helped texas responded to challenge. challen. excuse me, are you aware of what's happening right now? we're facing 20 billion security events every day. ddos campaigns, ransomware, malware attacks... actually, we just handled all the priority threats. you did that? we did that. really. we analyzed millions of articles and reports. we can identify threats 50% faster. you can do that? we can do that. then do that. can we do that? we can do that.

what is in store overnight for parts of texas, louisiana, already devastated by this storm. joining us now on the ground from lake charles, louisiana. our own rick leventhal. i watched all weekend as well, i'm sure it's different for me when you watch up close and personal. >> were outside the lake charles civic center which has been turned into a mass shelter because of all the people have been rescued here, 500 people were pulled from their homes overnight because of flooding io this part of southwest louisiana. they needed the bed space, theyy are ready for more because of tropical storm harvey is expected to hit this area over the next four hours, it could bring a lot more rain, the ground is saturated and ready to flood, a lot of homes could be in peril. a that's why you have all the members of the cajun navy gathered in the parking lot as well. a lot of pickup trucks brought by volunteers but they are not all boats in the cajun navy as we found out. check out this polaris razor 1,000, it's been modified. it can go through up to 7 feet of water he tells me to go into these neighborhoods that are flooded out and bring people out.

they've got a boat underneath it that this razor can tow. behind it he's got another boat that his buddy is going to drive if antoine they get the calloi from the state that they need help. this guy is pulling an airboat,. check out the monster excursion behind it. a variety of monster trucks have arrived here to join the cajun navy to get in there to these neighborhoods where people cannot get out without help. i don't know how you get in this thing without help, the guy told me you climb up on a tire but he wouldn't would live on television. there's another monster truck behind us there. the situation could be serious because they are expecting 40 to 50 mile-per-hour wind gusts tonight into tomorrow into southwestern louisiana. as the remnants of hurricaneom harvey, now tropical storm harvey come to shore. >> sean: say my hellos, i know some of the guys from the cajun

navy. i met them down whento we were in baton rouge come up send my best in regards and thank-yous. a journey man now with thehe very latest on the ground in texas, our own trace gallagher, what's happening there tonight?? >> i could tell you after five horrifying days we got to glimmers of hope. for the first time in a long time we saw the son of this afternoon just for a short time. the flood of authorities are now telling us the san jacinto river which is a couple of blocks from here is receeding, is fantastic news because that river has been in filling lake houston which is just behind us over here.er i want to show you some of the homes, hundreds and hundreds, just one street over. i can show you some of the homes that are underwater. we just went out on a two hour rescue, we didn't rescue anybody but we didn't find out the people out there that do want to ride this out, they are stayingo in their homes even though their homes are half flooded. they made the decision to stay. it was risky because no one at

the time knew if the water was going to go up and down, now ite appears their decision paid off because the water may be going down. we should note over the past three days, there have been more than 13,000 rescues by state and local authorities and just here today at lake houston, we watched more than 400 people bek taken out of their homes and rescued.ue a lot of animals, even a pack of horses they tried to rescue today. the good news finally is that the rain is pushing out, still some sprinkles but it looks like the brain is now moving out of houston. >> sean: thanks so much, you look at these images and you know that every one of those homes are gone. with the mold issue that would come, you're going to have to start to rebuild every one of those homes.ld joining us now, caroline shively, she's at the convention center. she is in houston tonight, i bet a lot of devastated people in many ways having lost everything that they owned, how's the mood in there tonight?

>> surprisingly upbeat. they're getting a hot meal, at. blanket, a pat on the back, something they haven't had for days. some more breaking news tonight and it's a good one. houston is opening another megashelter about 40 minutes from now. where the texans play if you y know the area here, that comes after they open the toyota center. they will not be playing basketball there, they will be housing thousands more people. i want to take a look to show you what the scene is here,eo people are still streaming in here, still register.no if you walk in on foot they will not turn you away. people still being rescued, they are not taking the bus is in but they are taking the walk in. some great news, between these locations, they will be able to house 30,000 people much more comfortably. it got dicey earlier today, they didn't have enough cops. people were sleeping on blankets

and sleeping on cardboard, that seems to be changing with more people coming in. >> sean: our best to those people, know they are on our thoughts and prayers. governor, by all accounts everything i have seen, you have amazing people in your state, you are prepared at the state level, we have some problems with local people, it seemswi le coordination with the federal government and the president couldn't have gone better. i want to hear from you. is it as good as i saw it? we learned a lot from katrina. >> the coordination at the a federal, state, and local level has been as good as in a tragedy that we've seen in the united states. i spent the day with the president but today wasn't the first day that i talked to him about this storm. i talked to them again for the hurricane even hit texas. from the white house, to his cabinet, we planned to prepare for this days before the hurricane even came up. then we mustered up resourcess

and personnel, food and water and shelter. all across the affected area. this has been done because the president took action swiftly, early, coordinated with the state of texas in a way far superior than i have ever seen in the hurricane tragedy.. >> sean: look at where the media goes, they are worried about she was. >> i want you to know, texans are genuinely appreciative of the way the federal government and the president have stood up and addressed the needs. if we are suffering here in ther state of texas. what the president is doing is helping texans. >> sean: by my observations, the costs are incalculable in terms of the damage. i would assume the biggest challenges you have now, people challenges you have now, people are going to be homeless for a long period of time. in many, many cases entire neighborhoods are going to have to be rebuilt. when it comes to the immediate need of food, water, shelter, medicine, cots, blankets.

my friend at my pillow is donating tens of thousands of pillows.s. will you be able to immediately take care of the needs of all of those people? that's a huge undertaking. >> you talk about immediate, there's immediate and long-term. we need to address both. on the immediate side, you mentioned one person who is stepping up with donations. i want to express my gratitude to our fellow americans by flowing in donations to us. we appreciated so much. it makes such a big difference in the lives of these people who desperately need it. through those donations, through the supplies we have built up, we have been able to address immediate needs of people and shelter. the big challenge is going toe acquire when short-term shelter is over. here the fema administrator has

been very clear, this is not going to be a short-term experience. we almost continue to work effectively together if we can continue to build a pathway forward. >> sean: would that mean thatd you have the plans in place? i assume medicine is a big deal. dialysis is a big deal. food, baby formula, cots, blankets, pillows, all of these things are immediate. they're going to be in shelters a long time before you can begin the process of giving them temporary housing before the rebuild begins? >> i spoke with the fema administrator. we want to make that time is short as possible. we were strategizing today about how we can expedite the movement from the evacuation centers to short-termte living. the evacuation center, we don't intend to last very long at all. we are working to expedite this in ways different from what

you've seen in past hurricanes. >> sean: what would that be? >> different short-term housing proposals that are offered up by fema. if it could be things ranging from apartments to hotels, different types of locations. something different like an auditorium, where the rockets play. where the football team may play, we've got to get people out of gyms into genuine living rooms and bedrooms.s. >> sean: i remember after katrina, the families of houston opened up their homes. why didn't the mayor of houston take your call? how may times did you call him? >> i called several. he had i have spoken. i want you to know that we've spoken and we are working collaboratively on a daily basis. my office is communicating

with his office because we knowg that we are all in this together and we as texans are going to work together to address these challenges. >> sean: i personally have worked with samaritans purse, i sent them a donation because i know how good of franklin graham's organization is, i know you have the red cross. i for those people around the country who want to help our family in texas, what would you like them to do? >> give to samaritans purse, give to the red cross. we will be announcing something myself tomorrow about what the state of texas is doing. you can say tuned tomorrow and donate to that.ay there are so many different waya people can participate. it's the generosity, support,, the patriotism of our fellow americans that are making a big difference in these lives of people who have had their lives turned upside down. >> sean: you made a big difference and i understand texas has a $10 million rainy day fund, no pun intended. it's equal to almost the rest of

the state of the union, thatt money is good to come in very handy. our thoughts and prayers are going to be with you, you did ah phenomenal job in the states hour of need. the lieutenant governor, federal government, local officials. the people of texas really deserve our praise. when we come back, laura ingraham will weigh in next on president trump's visit to texas earlier today, the pettiness of the media. later a college professor fired after saying hurricane harvey was instant karma to the lone star state because texans voted for the g.o.p. how sick ugly and twisted can you get? ♪ ♪ music edible arrangements for summer. order in store or online. i've always had that issue with the seeds getting under my denture. super poligrip free. it creates a seal of the dentures in my mouth.

game hog! champion. >> sean: president trump earlier today showed his support for the people of texas that are suffering in the wake of hurricane harvey. joining us now with reaction, nationally syndicated radio rock star, can you add a few more items to your resume? anything else i forgot, best-selling author?

>> can throw in overhand hardball really fast. >> sean: i wish i could have a a sense of humor and say the media is irresponsible and hateful. the attacks against our first lady and the first daughter and an 11-year-old kid. and anybody that likes trump. this is about as low as you get when you attack the shoes of the first lady. as she is going to help people out that are still -- that have lost everything. i can't even imagine how we got to this point. >> it's a sign of how desperate the left is. it's a sign of how unhinged they are. they are always for individual expression, expression of your sexuality, expression of your views on abortion, now you can't express yourself in the way you dress.

they are for dressing in all manner of crazy fashion choices some decide she want to wearar heels and she has a snickers on, big deal. we have a catastrophe in texas, we are dealing with it the best we can. the people of texas coordinating with the feds, states are doing a tremendous job under greg abbott, i'm glad you had him on tonight, what a star. i think people are grateful to l have leadership that can navigate a once in a lifetime weather event. this is really hard. you know he's doing a good job and coordinating when the best they have is melania's shoes. >> sean: in many ways, i've been arguing that with all of s the obsession to take down the president, the spear domestic

smear and slander, and the process of focusing all their attention on that, republicans, they're not serving the forgotten men and women, by focusing in on the insignificant, they're not helping the people that are struggling to save lives, trying to rebuild their lives now. you know what it is? like they were hoping the president failed for cheap political points. >> they don't want to see them be successful mode at all. fall of the state of texas, when we have a fema that coordinates correctly, is not easy to do its and they do a pretty good job. i don't even think he's waiting for that.

he knows what they are. you hit on it when you talked about it when you want to go right to the core of fomenting the discontent. they're not helping the average person with this type of commentary. what they have is identity politics. that's all they have, that's all they ever will have. whether it's the far left crowd where they want to shut down speech, so-called moderate progressives. they don't want to debate, they want toll demonize. they might not physically attack you but they will demonize you and dismiss you and demean youu in the way that they are doingiz to trump or any trump supporter. >> sean: i gotta run but i will say this. here's my prediction. this is going to a boomerang back so hard and hit them so hard they won't know what hit them -- what has happened. they don't realize that people see through this now.

when we come back a professor at university of tampa fired because of treating hurricane harvey was karma foram people voting for republicans, will have more on that straight ahead. shawn evans: it's 6 am. 40 million americans are waking up to a gillette shave. and at our factory in boston, 1,200 workers are starting their day building on over a hundred years of heritage, craftsmanship and innovation. today we're bringing you america's number one shave at lower prices every day. putting money back in the pockets of millions of americans. as one of those workers, i'm proud to bring you gillette quality for less, because nobody can beat the men and women of gillette. gillette - the best a man can get.

chantix, you may have nicotine withdrawal symptoms. some people had changes in behavior or thinking, aggression, hostility, agitation, depressed mood or suicidal thoughts or actions with chantix. serious side effects may include seizures, new or worse heart or blood vessel problems, sleepwalking or allergic and skin reactions which can be life-threatening. stop chantix and get help right away if you have any of these. tell your healthcare provider if you've had depression or other mental health problems. decrease alcohol use while taking chantix. use caution when driving or operating machinery. the most common side effect is nausea. i don't even think about cigarettes anymore. ask your doctor if chantix is right for you. many insurance plans cover chantix for a low or $0 copay. >> sean: visiting professor, kenneth story is in hot water tonight after tweeting a very hateful message, he wrote i

don't believe in instant karma but this kind of feels like it for texas. hopefully this will help them realize the g.o.p. doesn't care about them.m. ironically, he is now facing hia own instant karma, according to reports he was fired by the university of tampa and they have condemned his remarks. he apologized on twitter saying i deeply regret a statement i posted yesterday i never mentioned to wish ill will under the group i hope all affected by harvey recover quickly. that's so sincere.le tonight it appears he has deleted his twitter account, good idea. new york state senator, how did this ever happen? how did that ever happen. congratulations, i give you full credit, you can paint hard and i -- campaign hard, i hope you serve your constituents well. you talk about a sewar in d.c., it's worse up in albany. how many of your leaders have been indicted?

>> since i've been here no one. >> sean: we seen a lot of hate in the text, i want to as a democrat to say this is wrong and it's outrageous, i want some democrat to say it because i don't hear it enough. >> this is wrong and it's outrageous, there's no doubt about it. but i think the environment is also outrageous and some ofhe the comments that the president makes leads to this kind of environment. >> sean: you're blaming theea president for what other people say that it's ridiculous. >> i'm blaming the president for what the president says. >> sean: charlottesville is a great example. i will bring mercedes nd in. 1991 he condemned david duke, racism and what's a primacy.nd he did it all throughout the 90s and into 2,000 and all throughout the election, he condemned it on the saturday, the monday, tuesday, the wednesday. people still attacked him.

i don't think he can win. >> he can't win, i think the media is constantly trying to see the president is good too have his next misstep for example. when you look at this texas situation where the president went down to texas, had a verydi strong coordinated effort between the cabinet agencies and local and state counterparts and it's basically sending a very strong message of unity. we are here for your texas, we want to make sure that we come together as americans. and yet you have those on the not empathetic? r that's ridiculous. i find it to be difficult to watch how the liberals are still trying to nitpick and to find any single mistake of the president would make in a case like this.pr it's incredibly infuriating because what we have seen today is a president who clearly has been a comforter in chief. >> sean: i've got a question for you.

under obama for eight years, we have 13 million more americans on food stamps. we had 8 million more americans in poverty, we had the lowest labor participation rate, the worst recovery and the lowest home ownership rate in 51 years and he doubles the debt. you tell me how democrats after eight years in power, of course obamacare is destroyed. the health care system. how is that a good thing?if show me where democrats are better and made things better when they were in power. >> you mention so many different things. let me deal with one. when obama was in power.r. you and others criticized him for super storm sandy. every time a democrat is in office, you do the same thing.

>> sean: i never went after the first ladies she >> you called super storm sandy obama's katrina. you said it yourself read my only point is you can't get mad when that comes back on you. >> sean: with all due respect, everything has gone smoothly here, that's the point. >> were not sure yet, we have more to go. >> you see that coming from the visiting professor where he's putting politics and saying these people of texas deserve it because they supported donald trump. it shows how insane it's all become. just ensuring that trump would not be successful, any possible way and i think that's so a disservice to the president in the country. >> sean: i'll bring you back. i'm going to bring you back.i' and you can enter my statistic question which you dodged. >> when the president stop supporting -- >> he condemned that.

>> sean: stop lying, that's a lie. you're lying to the american people. he does not support them. north korea continues to aggressively test the world, he's put the rogue regime in pyongyang at notice. john bolton up next what good is having insurance if you get punished for using it? for drivers with accident forgiveness, liberty mutual won't raise your rates due to your first accident. liberty mutual insurance. it's a highly contagious disease that can be really serious... especially for my precious new grandchild. it's whooping cough. every family member, including those around new babies, should talk to their doctor or pharmacist about getting vaccinated.

>> sean: north korea continues

to test the world's patience. kim jong un is calling for more ballistic missile launches into the pacific ocean. the rogue regime in pyongyangil fired a rocket over japan, and response president trump issued this stern warning earlier today. threatening to stabilizing actions only increase the north korean regime's isolation in the region and among all nations of the world. all options are on the table. here now with reaction fox news contributor, former u.s. ambassador to the u.n. john bolton. this particular test, second time they're shooting over an island of japan. it seems to me we are getting very close to the line where they are, they are going to push to the point where they may incinerate themselves. >> this launch is a very, very serious. obviously a missile that could land east of japan could land on japan.f when a missile is on a launch pad and in its boost phase, you

don't know what the target is.nc this is the kind of existential question that president trump could be confronted with may be next year when the north koreans put a missile on the pad that we know could reach the united states with a nuclear warhead. what's he going to do? that's why we have run out of time for diplomatic options with north korea. secretary tillerson keeps talking about it, it's a needless diversion. we have very few diplomatic plays left to make.ed we've got to get real serious about explaining to north korea demonstrated to them and to china that were not going to let the capability to run.er >> sean: the choice is the options aren't good. >> of course they are not good, with 25 years of failed policy. the risk we face if we have to take out their nuclear program, the risk is to the innocent civilian population of

south korea retaliates against them. i don't want to see anything bad happen to the civilians of south korea. i don't want to see anything bad happens to the civilians in the united states either. >> sean: well-said ambassador and i agree wholeheartedly with you. a do we know if we see a missile on a pad and one that couldal reach the continentalny united states, any part of the united states or guam do we know if that missile is loaded with anything? >> we can only guess. the north koreans are very close to being able to switch from liquid fuel to solid fuel, that means time on launchpad, preparation time will be dramatically reduced. i thought it was significant in this launch over japan, i have not heard that any missile defense capability of ours, south korea or japan tried to engage this missile. i think that may demonstrate to the north koreans unfortunately just how weak america's national missile defense capabilities are after eight years of savage obama administration budget cuts.

we are in a very difficult place, there's no doubt about it.ni this isn't something president trump wanted to. let's not forget, what north korea can do today or tomorrow i simply writing a check, iran will have the capability to do the day after. >> sean: i don't disagree at all.he you agree with me, north korea could be incinerated. they could launch missiles loaded to south korea, japan, or even china, we have ten seconds. >> they know that the answer would be the elimination of leadership in that country, thee need to be convinced of us.r >> sean: we've got to run. thank you ambassador, when we come back to a more "hannity" right after this break ♪ ir, ir, some nincompoop stole all my wool sweaters, smart tv and gaming system. luckily, the geico insurance agency recently helped baa baa with renters insurance. everything stolen was replaced. and the hooligan who lives down the lane
