7:02 am
didn't look like her. it looks more like her than it does brandy chastain. look. >> this morning's eye opener is presented by toyota. let's go places. >> welcome to "cbs this morning." good morning. as you wake up in the west, we continue our coverage of this breaking news from the white house. president trump says he is calling off next month's historic summit with kim jong-un. in a letter to north korea's dictator released just minutes ago, the president blamed the, quote, tremendous anger and open hostility in a statement from a top north korean official. >> that statement overnight said the u.s. has to decide if it wants to avoid a, quote, nuclear to nuclear showdown. and repeated that north korea is willing to scrap the upcoming summit. weijia jiang is at the white house.
7:03 am
>> we are still waiting for more information from the white house here. we've asked them to offer more explanation about this sudden decision, because just yesterday, secretary of state mike pompeo testified that the decision would ultimately be up to kim jong-un. but as you mentioned, this letter dropped signed by president trump to kim saying the summit is off due to tremendous anger and open hostility. the president saying he believes it is inappropriate to have this summit at this time. now, it has been fascinating to watch the tone change, especially in the past two weeks or so, when north korea began threatening to pull out of the summit. but there was a question about whether that was whepl sim y the t aalks actually happened o if it was sincere. and then we fawmre psi derunt t very optimistic to uncertain, using the catchphrase we'll see over and over again.
7:04 am
a noncommittal president trump not wanting to say whether he believes the summit would happen. but just yesterday he seemed optimistic, making public remarks and saying that he will wait to see if certain conditions will be met by the north koreans. so this is a stunner, because, again, we were anticipating more talks, more diplomatic channels from senior administration officials, who were having them continuously to see if it would happen and, by the way, president trump said himself we'll know next week whether this will happen. so the fact that we're knowing right now indicates that something happened for him to have this reversal. again, we are still waiting to hear more from the white house and certainly from president trump himself, as we follow this breaking news. >> weijia, thanks. ben tracy is in north korea. ben, how is this news being received? >> john, we don't quite know yet. we're on a train actually, in
7:05 am
northern north korea. it's the middle of the night here. we're actually at a dead stop. we just left north korea's nuclear test site a couple of hours ago. we spent all day there and watched the north korean government basically blow their test site. they claim they have destroyed it. whether they have actually done it, we can't verify, but they did blow up all the entrances to the test tunnel. we will find out in the next couple of hours from our government guides what their responses are. they're genuinely pretty reluctant to give official responses because those would come from much higher up in the government. but i can tell you, just from the conversations we've been having with them, while we've been here for a couple of days, i think there will be real disappointment and real concern about where this relationship is now, if this summit is now off. >> there have been indications -- this has certainly been a surprising turn of events, no question about that, but there have been indications that president trump was at least considering this. you said there will be disappointment. is there any kind of reaction?
7:06 am
do you think they will be angry? do you think they will feel they've been misled? what will be their likely response based on what you're seeing and hearing while you've been in north korea? >> the one thing we know for certain about north korea, it is unpredictable. so it is very hard to predict what response they will have. i think you assume that there will be some anger. there will be some blame. what you are seeing, the statements north korea was putting out in recent days when president trump talking about a change in tone is north korea was pushing back, saying stop taking credit for all of this progress that's taking place on the korean peninsula. we've been hearing from our -- from the government guides here that they feel like they've really made these big gestures, these big concessions, and one of those was what we witnessed today, shutting down this nuclear site. they feel like they're going the extra mile to try to meet the united states and all they're getting in return is either the president taking credit for everything that's happening or
7:07 am
people like john bolton saying, mentioning the libya model. something that very much offends the north koreans because their biggest concern is they give up their weapons, at some point there's going to be a regime change. so that's where you're getting a lot of this pushback the last couple of weeks. >> briefly, ben, on the question of the libya model, when the vice president talked about that, to be clear, the libyan model means north korea doesn't give up its nuclear program, it will be an end to the regime. it brought that strong reaction from the north korean official. were you getting a sense, the people you're around that they took very strong offense to what the vice president had said? >> i haven't heard anyone here yet take specific offense to what the vice president said. i have heard people here name check, that what he said very much did offend people. but what the vice president said was very much in line with what bolton had said previously. that is just a huge issue for them here.
7:08 am
because they feel -- they've said all along the reason they need these weapons is they don't have the weapons. they think at some point the united states will attack, an attempt to overthrow the regime. >> any talk of regime change is troubling to them. ben tracy, inside north korea, thank you. we want to go live to secretary of state mike pompeo. he's actually testifying on capitol hill now. it is a budget hearing. we are monitoring that to see if he says anything about that canceled summit. he was just reading the letter from president trump to the north korean leader. "face the nation" moderator margaret brennan is also on capitol hill this morning. margaret, i woke up this morning and i saw what the north korean official said in terms of warning of a nuclear/nuclear showdown, calling the vice president of the united states a political dummy. this white house have any other option than to push back hard? >> no, you're right, rhetorically, they kind of boxed themselves in, and then were in
7:09 am
turn boxed in by the north koreans. remember, it was, as you've already been talking about, the libyan model language at the end of april that john bolton, the national security adviser, started signalling that set off this chain of very negative press communications, through their state-run media. you also have to keep in mind what president trump let slip the other day, which is he thinks the chinese have started to assert their influence. they are the main patron of north korea. that has been a shift in taking a harder position on north korea, in terms of their willingness to negotiate. i was here on capitol hill with a top senator about to walk into that foreign relations committee hearing with mike pompeo, the secretary of state, as they learned that this summit was off. and there had already been a lot of conversation about whether the secretary of state and the national security adviser were actually on the same page here. remember, it was pompeo who has
7:10 am
been twice to north korea. there was talking he might have to go a third time before that summit was to happen. this has been such an unusual round of diplomacy. this wast played safe like you've seen in the past with lower level officials working it up to the presidential level. this was a hail mary pass in many ways, that many republicans and democrats either criticized heavily or credited the president for being willing to take the risk to meet face-to-face with kim jong-un. but there was always the question of what truly was north korea willing to negotiate this time. because while the white house argued they had north korea in a position of weakness economically, arguably north korea has never been stronger in terms of their negotiating position, because they have such a nuclear arsenal. as you say, norah, that rhetoric over the past few days, for the vice president to have gone back and reference the libyan model in particular was, many ways, asking for this kind of response from north korea. it's gotten personal.
7:11 am
perhaps some of that had to do with that called off meeting, if you remember, mike pence, the vice president, was supposed to have with kim jong-un's sister around the time of the olympics. >> you're right, it has gotten very personal. thank you very much, margaret brennan. we'll continue to follow this breaking story. in other news today, milwaukee's police chief revealed officers were disciplined over a controversial altercation with nba player sterling brown. newly released body cam video shows the incident back in january that started with a parking violation. officers can be seen on tape subduing brown and using a stun gun on him. >> the video appears to contradict an initial police account that reportedly said brown was uncooperative. demarco morgan is outside milwaukee police headquarters. good morning. >> reporter: good morning to you. this is not the first time the milwaukee police department has been the focus of questionable use of force. sterling brown now says he plans to file a lawsuit some time next week to hopefully prevent something like this from happening again in the near
7:12 am
future. >> our department conducted an investigation into the incident which revealed members acted inappropriately and those members were recently disciplined. >> reporter: on wednesday, newly appointed milwaukee police chief alfonso morales apologized for the incident. it started as what was described as a routine check. a police officer spotted nba player sterling brown's vehicle parked across two handicapped lanes at a walgreens parking lot. >> i got up in your face? really? >> reporter: at first, brown can be seen calmly talking to police. but once backup arrives, the situation intensifies. >> take your hands out of your pockets now. >> reporter: brown is thrown to the ground. >> taser, taser. >> reporter: hit with a taser and arrested. he was briefly booked and jailed but released a short time later. no charges were filed. hours after the incident, the rookie played in an nba game with bruises on his face. after the game, he refused to comment on what happened. >> it's being handled.
7:13 am
>> reporter: the case has added pressure on a department already under scrutiny. in to 2016, riots broke out aft an officer shot and killed sylville smith in a traffic stop. last year, the city settled a lawsuit for $2 million for the 2014 killing of dontre hamilton, a mentally ill man who was agitated by an officer's unlandfall patdown. the officer shot hamilton 14 times during their altercation. brown released a statement yesterday saying, i quote what should have been a simple parking ticket turned into an attempt at police intimidation, followed bynlawful use of physical force. the police chief has not said how they were disciplined. gayle. >> all right, demarco, still a lot of questions there. thank you very much. president trump is applauding a new nfl policy requiring players on the field to stand for the national
7:14 am
anthem. he responded during a fox news interview that aired this morning. >> i think it's good. you have to stand proudly for the national anthem. or you shouldn't be playing. you shouldn't be there. maybe you shouldn't be in the country. you have to stand proudly for the national anthem. and the nfl owners did the right thing, if that's what they've done. >> some players say the league's new policy threatens their freedom of speech. dana jacobson is here with reaction on that. dana, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the nfl started requiring player to be on the field for the national anthem in 2009. that was the year it signed a marketing deal with the u.s. military. now players are no longer required to be there for the anthem. if they are, though, the league says they must stand. >> if anyone is on the field and is disrespectful to the anthem or the flag, there would be a fine from the league against a team. >> reporter: nfl commissioner roger goodell says the new rule offers flexibility. ♪ land of fleet allowing players who would
7:15 am
rather not stand for the national anthem the option to stay in the locker room or somewhere off the field without facing the fine. >> colin kaepernick slides. >> reporter: former san francisco 49ers quarterback colin kaepernick began kneeling during the national anthem in 2016 to protest racial injustice and police brutality. as more players joined in the issue became more polarizing. last year, president trump made it explicitly clear where he stood. >> when somebody disrespects our flag, you say, get that son of a bitch off the field right now, out, he's fired. he's fired! >> no one's purposely disrespecting the flag. >> reporter: sam acho is a linebacker and team union rep for the chicago bearings. he's one of several players who spoke out about the new policy. >> i think a lot of players are happy about the conversations happening so the protests served their purpose. >> reporter: cowboys quarterback dak prescott welcomed the rule change. >> i'm glad they came to an agreement in some for the of another.
7:16 am
>> reporter: malcolm jenkins of the philadelphia eagles tweeted that the decision thwarts the player's constitutional rights to express themselves. cbs news legal analyst rikki klieman says the policy is not a freedom of speech issue. >> what you have here is aneecna business decision about codes and standards of conduct. if the government made this rule, that might be a whole different case. >> reporter: now, the nfl players union says it was not consulted about this rule change and will challenge any aspect of it that violates the collective bargaining agreement. some team executives are defending the players. new york jets chairman chris johnson says he would play any fine if his players choose to kneel. >> rikki klieman's made a very good point. >> yes, private entity. dana, thanks. blue flames burning in the lava of the volcano is raising new fears. mark strassmann is in pahoa,
7:17 am
hawaii. good morning. >> reporter: good morning. it really is something to see. these fountains of lava and the enormous lava lake that's still swelling behind me. but if some of this molten rock flows west of here, it could close off the one remaining open highway in that area. and that could mean an evacuation by helicopter of 1,000 people. after three weeks of gawking at images of right rbright red lav focus has shifted to something blue and woresome. >> the line of methane. >> reporter: methane gas, a result of the lava burning plants and trees. scientists say it can trigger explosions if ignited while trapped underground. >> it's the first time, maybe the second time, i've seen the blue flames. it's very dramatic, very eerie. >> reporter: in communities like leilani estates, fountains of nearby lava threaten more homes. scary? >> not at all. this, this is like our goddess
7:18 am
of the island. she grows and makes things bigger. this is like the island giving birth. >> reporter: for now kilauea seems to have spared a threatened geothermal power plant. there are also spots where officials worry about widening cracks. >> the first thing that came to my mind was, are we ever going to be able to go home? >> reporter: after a neighbor sent her this video, shantel papa pacrro discovered a massive crack running under her house. >> i explained to our children, home is when we're altogether. that'shome aseron og weth ave each other that's the most important thing. >> reporter: take a look for a minute at what the big island is confronting. these fissures bursting with lava. it's like a scene from the dawn of time when the world was remade over and over. this close, i can feel the heat and the power of a volcanic eruption that shows no sign of slowing down. john. >> mark strassmann in hawaii,
7:19 am
thanks. those are amazing pictures. >> they really are amazing pictures. the gentleman in the piece said it was the island giving birth, which is also a beautiful and terrify thing in some cases. an american in china targeted by sonic attacks? why the state department and chinese officials are concerned about

7:32 am
going to try to fix it at a very deep level. so if that conversation, i tried to push them on the hardest questions i could. >> what do the changes look like? >> over time, they're going to use artificial intelligence to identify click bait and adjust their core algorhithm, so it measures more serious stuff, slowing the way fake news spreads. >> what about stuff that's much more in the gray area, which tends to be the stuff that grabs us emotionally and has more power? >> not only that, stuff that's right but is misleading. it's a hard problem, which is why you need to have a whole bunch of humans trained on it. you need to have the best algorithms you can, and what they're trying to do now is get us involved. facebook is basically a compilation of all the data we give it. so if we are trying to say this is false or misleading, that helps them combat it.
7:33 am
>> so what kind of choices will facebook prompt its customers to make? >> there are two sets of choices. one, the false news stuff, which is happening right now. please identify this as false news. there's also a new set of choices. this has to do with gdpr. that's the general data protection regulation. it's a huge new european law about how companies protect privacy. so facebook on that is asking us to choose, do we want you to select this data? do you want to be enrolled in facial recognition? do you want to opt out of our data collection? every company that does business in europe is going to have to change the way they think about privacy. >> that is when the sales force was here, saying that's the type of thing we need here in the united states. >> he made that point. how will it affect u.s. customers here? >> it goes into effect in the e ump eu but it affects residents, and
7:34 am
the large tech companies will want to have similar data compliance in the u.s. and in europe. so it's going to protect us, too. not only that, the law, it's way deeper than anybody imagines. there are provisions in there mandating that companies think about privacy from the ground up. so when you're building your software, you can't just say, we'll collect all the data we want and use it. you have to be specific about the data you're collecting, and you have to tell customers about it. so this is a big shift. >> how will facebook measure its success in terms of combatting false or fake news? >> this is another interesting announcement. they've been very closed off with their data over the years. they're going to open it up to academics and say hey, if you want our data, we'll give it to you and even financially support you, which is complicated. then they can study how much false news there is on the platform and how it spreads.
7:35 am
we don't know if there's more or less than there was than last year. >> nick thompson, thanks a lot. tomorrow, we'll continue this conversation, because facebook's vice president of global marketing solution also be here in studio 57 tomorrow. new american embassy in china has issued a health alert after an employee suffered a brain injury after reporting strange sounds and sensations last year and showed signs of a concussion. this appears to be similar to what happened to two dozen americans in cuba. steve dorsey broke that story and is in washington. steve, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. china is offering to assist the u.s. in investigating what happened. so far, only one case has been reported in china. but what was once a caper confined to cuba is now a global mystery. >> we're concerned about it. it's a serious medical incident.

>> reporter: secretary of state mike pompeo said the u.s. is committed to getting to the bottom of what caused mild traumatic brain injury in an employee at the u.s. consulate in china. >> we've notified china of what took place as best we know it and they have responded in the right response. >> reporter: the chinese foreign minister, who met with mike pompeo wednesday in washington, appealed to the u.s. for restraint. "we don't want to see that this individual case will be magnified or even politicized." the state department stopped short of calling it a sonic attack, instead issuing a health alert that warns americans in china if you experience any unusual acute auditory or sensory phenomena accompanied by unusual sounds or piercing noises, do not attempt to locate the source. instead, move to a location where the sounds are not present. that's the bizarre noise heard by many of the two dozen injured americans in cuba who saufred

8:01 am
>>. >> yesterday mike pompeo testified that the decision would be up to kim jong-un. >> the white house argued they have north korea in a position of weakness economically. arguably north korea has never bye-bye stronger in terms of their negotiating position because such a nuclear arsenal. sterling brown plans to file a lawsuit to prevent shotgun like this from hpening again. molten rock flows west of here it could close off an open highway and that could mean an evacuation by helicopter of 1,000 people. >> in california a 102-year-old m man. record by being the oldest world person to public a memoir. isn't that cool? i thought so. when asked what inspired the book, the man said, what book. wait.
8:02 am
i did what? i'm norah o'donnell with john dickerson and gayle king. we are following breaking news this morning from the white house. president trump just cancelled his upcoming summit with north korea's leader. in a letter to kim jong-un released this morning, the president said it was, quote, inappropriate at this time to meet next month as scheduled. the president wrote the world has lost a great opportunity for lasting peace. >> this comes just hours after the demolish ed the only nuclea zest test site in a series of overnight explosions. ben tracy was the only broadcast network correspondent to witness the event. he says he was able to walk right up to the tunnels and see the explosives inside. north korea set off the devices in claims that deat least tunnels were demolished. there's more from the president's letter. it's certain is ly a surprising turn of events today. >> reporter: it really is. and that's because all the
8:03 am
information we were getting from the white house indicated that the president and the administration was going to continue working to set the terms of the summit. it is something they wanted to do and president trump himself said just yesterday that we will see what happens next week. but as a result of tremendous anger and open hostility from north korea's most recent statement, he feels it's inappropriate to have the summit. that statement from north korea said the u.s. can meet us at a meeting or face a nuclear to nuclear showdown. on top of that an aid for kim jong-un called vice president mike pence a political dummy after the vice president mentioned the libya model once again during a recent interview and the north has made clear that that is a trigger given what happened to former leader gadhafi. this isn't new. this rhetoric was ramped up for
8:04 am
a week and a half ago with the north threatening to pull out of the summit. for his part, president trump was relatively measured. he was not using the fiery language we have seen before. we thought that he was going to wait and see, as he said, what happened. this letter sends a strong message for now he's not ready for that summit. >> thank you. secretary of state mike pom peo is on capitol hill this morning. he read the president's letter out loud to the senate foreign relations committee. he was asked if canceling the meeting makes the u.s. position stronger or weaker. >> i don't believe in that sense that we're in a position to believe there could be a successful outcome. i think that's wha t the president communicated pretty clearly in his letter. i can add to that over the past many days, we have endeavored to do what we agreed was to put preparation teams together to preair for the summit.
8:05 am
and we received no response to our inquiries from them. i think the american team is fully prepared. i think we're ready. i'm still optimistic we'll reach that point. i know the president is as well. >> let's go to senior global affairs contributor ian bremer. he's founder of the group and joining us now on the telephone. ian, good morning. we just heard from the secretary of state who is on capitol hill, who said that the u.s. has been trying to repeatedly connect with north korea on logistics and received tresponse. did the white house have any other option than to cancel this summit? >> there are different ways to cancel. and the language in trump's letter was more hostile, especially around the american nuclear arsenal than it needed to be. but clearly things have been
8:06 am
deteriorating over the past couple weeks. there was already a meeting with state department seniors in singapore. they didn't show up for. not hearing back from another presummit meeting. the north koreans have gotten a lot of what they wanted. they are engaged with the chinese. they are engage d with the sout koreaens. sanctions have been reduced. the united states is comparative ly a marginal player here. and the united states was getting a very strong sense that despite trump really wanting the historic summit, first ever with kim jong-un, if he was going to get it, it wasn't going to go the way he wanted it to. >> some of the language in the letter is hostile. you talk about your nuclear capabilities, he says, but. ours are so massive and powerful. i pray they will never have to be use d. >> they are not going to want to upset the chinese, who were responsible for 90% of their economy. so their us diplomatic response will be incredibly harsh and
8:07 am
over the top. they will threaten nuclear war with the americans. the real question is what do they do in terms of direct military response. they have been unilaterally stopped their testing both nuclear testing ask now they closed their nuclear test site as well as icbm. >> we thank you. we expect to hear from the president in about 20 minutes from now. we'll bring you his remarks in a special report. we have why more women than men are being diagnosed with

8:11 am
what the research found it's not all wimp. it's white women, hispanic and those born after the 1960s. in this research they looked at patterns of smoking behavior. they did not see differences based on your smoking behavior. >> i used to think if you were not a smoker, you no longer were at risk. that is no longer the case. >> it was never the case. >> that was a misperception on my part. >> a lot of women don't realize that 20% of the case thas get of lung cancer are non-smokers. so 80% in women is from smoking. 20% is not. >> lung cancer is more prevalent than breast cancer. >> it kills more women than breast, uterine, and ovarian cancer combined. it's estimated it will kill 70,000 women in this country. >> what's causing it? >> that's what the interesting mystery is. there are several theories. is there some different environmental exposure that women are getting.

8:13 am
we're going to need longer term follow up to see what the risks are. >> the bottom line is smoking is still bad, no matter how you try to define it, justify it. it is still bad. >> absolutely. >> we don't care what we do with this information. all right, tara. thank you very much. ahead chip reid introduces us to the newest geography bee champion. how much is your scholarship. >> $50,000. >> that will pay for one year of college these days. you'll have to win this three more times. >> college is, pensive. how this 13-year-old from california says he won this year's bee with a guess. you're watching "cbs this morning." we always appreciate that. we'll be right back. we'll be right back.

8:45 am
stops talking to him. it was on the stop of the underground railroad and it gets a tiny little parish and he's trying to put himself back together. >> why was playing a priest attractive to you? >> when you think about movies, i played a ton of cops or lovers, you know, firemen. there's all kinds of parts. you rarely see in movies a portrait of a serious religious person, a person who's identified themselves as a priest. part of the reason is i think it equires a great writer to attack the bigger themes of life and paul schrader ever since taxi driver has been rides an an extremely high role. >> does that do something to you when you see yourself in the mirror and you're wearing a
8:46 am
collar or is it like those other roles new describe in terms of inhabtding it? >> it's a question on the edge of so many people's lips and minds and it is on mine about where faith interseths with ecology. are being good leaders to our young people? where is ethics today? it's something we're all choking on. we look to the religious community and all around for voice and i think paul schrader did that. >> in this movie the priest kept a journal. did you keep a journal? >> i kemtd a journal from the time i was 16 until i was in my 40s. somebody stole my briefcase and it had my journal in it. i didn't like that someone would read it. there was nothing shocking, but

it's the story of our nation. john chiang's father came here with little money, but big dreams for a better future. now john has a chance to make history. a champion of the underdog, john took on wells fargo when it ripped off working families. and against the odds, he helped saved california from financial disaster during the great recession. ...leaving more to invest in progressive priorities like education, healthcare and affordable housing. john chiang. the proven, progressive leader we need for california's future. is part of a bigger picture. that bigger picture is statewide mutual aid. california years ago realized the need to work together. teamwork is important to protect the community, but we have to do it the right way. we have a working knowledge and we can reduce the impacts of a small disaster, but we need the help of experts. pg&e is an integral part of our emergency response team.

they are the industry expert with utilities. whether it is a gas leak or a wire down, just having someone there that deals with this every day is pretty comforting. we each bring something to the table that is unique and that is a specialty. with all of us working together we can keep all these emergencies small. and the fact that we can bring it together and effectively work together is pretty special. they bring their knowledge, their tools and equipment and the proficiency to get the job done. and the whole time i have been in the fire service, pg&e's been there, too. whatever we need whenever we need it. i do count on pg&e to keep our firefighters safe. that's why we ask for their help. i thought after sandy hook, where 20 six and seven year olds were slain, this would never happen again. it has happened more than 200 times in 5 years. dianne feinstein and a new generation are leading the fight to pass a new assault weapons ban.

first comments since canceling plans for a summit meeting with kim jong-un. >> i'd like to begin by saying that based on the recent statement of north korea, i've decided to terminate the planned summit in singapore on june 12th. while many things can happen and a great opportunity lies ahead potentially, i believe that this is a tremendous setback for north korea and indeed a setback for the world. i've spoken to general matiss and the joint chiefs of staff and our military, which is by far the most powerful anywhere in the world that has been greatly enhanced recently, as you all know, is ready, if necessary. likewise, i have spoken to south korea and japan, and they are not only ready, should foolish or reckless acts be taken by

north korea, but they are willing to shoulder much of the cost of any financial burden, any of the costs associated by the united states in operations if such an unfortunate situation is forced upon us. hopefully, positive things will be taking place with respect to the future of north korea. but if they don't, we are more ready than we have ever been before. north korea has the opportunity to end decades of poverty and oppression by following the path of denuclearization and joining the community of nations, and i hope that kim jong-un will ultimately do what is right, not

only for himself, but perhaps, most importantly, what's right for his people who are suffering greatly and needlessly. all of the korean people, north and south, deserve to be able to live together in harmony, prosperity and peace. that bright and beautiful future can only happen when the threat of nuclear weapons is removed. no way it can happen otherwise. if and when kim jong-un chooses to engage in constructive dialogue and actions, i am waiting. in the meantime, our very strong sanctions, by far the strongest sanctions ever imposed, and

maximum pressure campaign will continue as it has been continuing. but no matter what happens and what we do, we will never ever compromise the safety and security of the united states of america. i want to make that statement. i feel very very strongly about it. our military, as you know, has been greatly enhanced, will soon be at a level that it's never been before. our approval of $700 billion this year and $716 billion next year, largely due to the help of a lot of the people with me today and standing right here, we appreciate. but we had to do that for our military but we've done it and

hopefully everything will work out well with north korea. a lot of things can happen, including the fact that perhaps, and would wait, it's possible that the existing summit could take place or a summit at some later date. nobody should be anxious, we have to get it right. okay. with that being said, we have something else which i have to tell you, all of you chairmen, mike and everybody, it was a big deal untildeal until this came . [ laughter ] >> i don't know, where's mike crapo, where are you? congratulations. >> the president there in the roosevelt room. he said that the opportunity lies ahead potentially, but then spoke about having gotten in touch with his secretary of defense, the joint chiefs, and said that the military was ready and allies in the region would pick up the cost if there was military -- any military action.

we want to go now to major garrett, who is at the white house. major, the president also and he said nobody should be anxious, speaking, of course, to americans. >> no one should be anxious. we want to get this right. a couple of things worth pointing out about that last statement, we want to get this right. john, it is clear that the white house has been all week that there was a sense internally that not only were the north koreans backing away but that the administration itself need add bit more time to prepare adequately. the navel national security advisor john bolton doesn't have his team fully prepared at the white house. mike pompeo was building his team it would have been an enormous task for both teams to organize rapidly and effectively enough to crair on the high-level and high-intensity negotiations contemplated even before the scheduled june 12 summit. so getting it right became an important factor for this administration, separate from the north korean statements, which were cle
