>> he called it fire and fury. we're talking about -- >> north korea best not make any more threats tohe

states. they'll be met -- >> blunt warning for north korea today. they're not backing down, the latest on the war of words. >> what we're talking about tonight at 6:30. president trump doubles down on his comments, about north korea on twitter. the president wrote my first order as president was to renovate and modernize our nuke lag asker none, more powerful than ever before. not long after that he tweeted again hopefully we'll never have to use this power but will never be a time we're not the most powerful nation in the world. didn't get specific example of how things have changed in the nucleares follow over seven months, but here we are, and just little while ago we learned that north korea says -- north korea news agency says they're working on a plan, and wait until the all clear is give glenn we'll see what happens from there. let's bring in jessie burns from the hill. jesse, you just heard what jim was saying. what information have you been hearing about this, and how the us may be looking at

situation with guam. >> reporter: yes, seems to be a tit for tat between north korea officials, planning to develop that strike, or plans for that strike, at least by mid august. but what we're seeing is that trump in that statement he gave yesterday during the opioid meeting really sent us officials scrambling trying to contain the fall-out from that when he warned of fire and fury and that of course made, you know, not very subtle reference to the nucleares follow, today, so, officials, secretary of state, rex tillerson, and defense secretary, james mathis, tried to put out little carefully crafted statements today on that, trying to tone down the rhetoric. but at the same time supporting the president and worrying if north korea continues its actions, at least, that it will result in the response from the us. >> as we move forward, will we see more rattling from both sides or see some sort

tempt at diplomacy here? still no ambassadors to south korea, a we don't have diplomatic ties with north korea. but i mean what do you see happening from here? >> reporter: yes, definately going to see, already seen some democratic lawmakers come out and push the administration of the white house to make some of those nominations, a lot of nominations in the region that are just blank right now. south korea there, so you'll see more pressure on the administration for. that will you know, the north korean regime has long had this reputation for statements, sabor rattling, the. s has tried to not responds in that level. we saw really marked turn this week, with trump, trying to match that kind of rhetoric, and secretary every state tillerson saying that essentially the us took that approach because kim john aoun didn't understands the diplomatic response that the us had been using but it is definitely a marked shift in the u.s. response over the years. >> certainly s very strong

indeed. jesse burn, thanks so much for joining us, we appreciate your perspective tonight. >> thank you. >> all right, let's get to fox5 ronica cleary getting pulls of the people on. >> this ronica we new yesterday people were saying, you know, went they heard the president, they were little scared about what was going on here. >> reporter: absolutely, and you know what i love what i'm going to share with you today, what a day is like for us here at fox5. so, i want to show you some footage. this is of a gentleman by the name of ricky twiman, reached out to fox5 few times since the situation with north korea has escalated, and he has this philosophy of what he calls basketball diplomacy. he thinks that dennis rodman is actually a key piece of the puzzle when it comes to resolving the issue with north korea, and we thought we would check in with him today outside of the white house here a little of his thoughts, based on what has recently happened in the last 24 hours. he focuses on praying for peace, he says that, you

beyond divine intervention of course prayer is important, and that the words of the president do not help. you can see here, they're sinking, they're praying, a person actually joined in with them. and, again, he focuses on this idea of basketball diplomacy. take a listen to what he had to say. >> nobody else can seem to communicate with this dictator. and i think you have to use the resources that you have, and he is, whether we like it or not, he's sort of our link to the country, because he can really get in there and i just think we need to use him in a special way, and we're hoping that his basketball diplomacy will help to ease the tensions. >> he's also called for dennis rodman to get nobel peace prize, rodman actually responded to photo of him on twitter saying that he wanted to shake his hand. so he was p

let me then take to you what this scene. so sitting in our truck. getting ready to do our 5:00 hit. i see his picture pop up on twitter. we realize that on the other side of the white house, is a completely different scene. take a look at this. it is this 30-foot tall blow up chicken made in the likeness, if you will, of donald trump. now, we happen to speak with a documentary film maker, organizer, behind this chicken don, that's what he is calling it, you know, when i first heard the name, i wasn't sure what was getting at, but he basically said it is named in the likeness of the names that donald trump used like little marco, and lion -- lying ted. so he's calling this chicken don, referencing donald trump. now, it is 30 feet tall. he did get permission from the secret service and the park service to put this there. he said he's had this idea back in march to bring this chicken. you may have seen them

but to bring this 30-foot tall one to dc, and if you're curious, he has a go fund me page. he's asking for $10,000 to help pay for logistics to move these multiple chicken don's all over the country. he's only raised $265 every that when i last checked at around 6:15. here he is talking about his message, and mission, and why he says it is important. >> it means that the president is too afraid to release his tax returns, he's too afraid to stands to up putin, and he's playing a game of chick win north korea, a yet he wants a military parade in washington dc? seems kind of bizarre and signs after weak insecure leader. image speaks a thousand words. this image does very well at piercing through and presenting the trump as the ineffective leader that he is. >> certainly an image that has captured people's attention on social media. we're seeing a lot of reaction there. but way into both of the stories we've shared with you tonight, your reaction to t

the gentleman we spoke with, he compared it to pingpong diplomacy with china, and this effort to use this image of donald trump, in this likeness, if you will, with this chicken, and how that helps spread a message or does it hurt. back to you, jim, sean? >> ronica, thank you. >> u.s. attorney general jeff sessions firing back tonight at chicago and other sanctuary cities. chicago mayor, rom emanuel, filed federal lawsuit against the justice department. he argued the trump admit's plan to withhold safety garages from so called sanctuary cities illegal. sessions issued a response saying in part, demonstrated an open hostility to ending laws designed to protect law enforcement and reduce crime. >> let's bring in scott erickson, not to be confused with the orioles pitcher, joins us tonight to talk about this one here. hi, scott. >> good to be with you, how are you doing. >> we're well. give us sense here. you know there is a lot of talk about the administration saying we're going to take the

funds interesting these sanctuary cities for not adhering to certain laws. i mean, what kind of legal grounds is there? >> well, look. i think it is interesting that the mayor of chicago is openly subordinate dollars the interests, the public safety interest, of the american citizenry to the apparent interests of criminal illegal aliens in this country illegally. i don't really understand exactly where his values lie, with respect to this. >> now, i think he would say, or his argument has been, that, you know, if you take the money away, that crime will then go up. because the folks, some of the illegal immigrant, will be afraid to share their stories with police, for fear of being deported. >> yes. look that's an interesting argument that's madoff ten times by folks who are supporters of sanctuary city pollicie i've never seen one study, one bit of i am peer call evidence to substantiate or val dade that position. i find it pretty interesting. i spent many years working as a police officer. i didn't see any decline in cooperation between illegal immigrant communities, members, within that community, and law

was very robust interaction between law enforcement and federal immigration authorities, and whether it got more restrictive. again it is an interesting argument. but i haven't seen any data to back it up. >> in maryland governor hogan said many times he has no interest in declaring any sort of sanctuary state status, but do you have many municipalities across the state who said okay this town is going to be a sanctuary city or we'll make the push to do that. your view on the will of the people on this? >> well, look, i think the will of the people is obviously very important. but at the same time, it is important for elected leaders to place the public safety interest of their citizens paramount. they have to make sure that the citizenry is protected. i don't see sanctuary city policies whether they be at the municipal local level or in the case of some states like california attempt to go promote sanctuary state policies. i don't see how that does anything for public safety in a public way. i see it hurting public safety. make one thing clear here, any crime committed by an individual who is in this country illegally, who h

detained placed and that individual is released that's preventable crime. anything that happens subsequent to. that will so again i don't see how you can make the argument sanctuary city policies makes our country safer. >> any middle grounds here? i don't see the cities that call themselves sanctuary cities all the sudden saying okay, we're going to take this status away. is there any middle grounds to make this work? >> well, interesting you say that. because miami dade county just announce that they're re skinned g their policies in light of the trump administration policy they should essentially. so you have seen at least in the case of miami data very large county that's pulling back, will cooperate more with federal immigration authorities. and as a result, they've been awarded i think upward of million dollars in public safety grant. an it is a choice, you have to decide whether you'll conform with federal law, immigration law, or cooperate with federal authorities, and be subject to acquiring these funds from federal taxpayers, or you're going not do that. and there are

not doing that. i don't know that there is a middle grounds when you defy federal immigration or cooperation with federal immigration authorities. >> certainly city states all across the country will be watching to see how this fight goes down. legal analyst scott erickson, thanks so much for coming? >> thank you. >> all right, let's switch gears. talk about the weather right now, sue said this could be one of the top ten days of the summer. >> i would have to agree with her. sue? >> i completely agree with me. where it is not a top ten day, though, is very cruz, mexico, guys, we have our first hurricane of 2017. in the bay of campeche, unfortunately, it is going to approaching the coastline near veracruz later tonight, early tomorrow, with category one hurricane conditions. it will rapidly weaken once it comes ashore, but will likely bring four to 8 inches of rain for all of those folks who have to ride out this hurricane as it moves to the east at about 20 miles an hour tomorrow it should weaken to depression. locally though you're right. the weather is absolutely perfection around here. nice low humidity. lots every sunday shine. temperatures climbing io

to, if-ee elected would like to focus on improving schools, increase wages, reducing crime, treating drug addiction, al lever rating traffic, investing in infrastructure and protecting the environment. >> president trump spoke out, claimed 2,000 lives in the state of maryland last year. today governor hogan praised st. mary county foreign dating six people linked to multiple overdose deaths in the county. governor hogan says six people a day from overdoses across the state. >> prevention and treatment, obviously, two essential components. but we must also crackdown on the criminals who are trafficking these dangerous substances and dealing in death. it is my hope that these actions will serve as an example for prosecutors, from one ends of the state to the other. >> in st. mary county all of the suspect charged with murder and face to up 50 years in prison. >> all

much for joining us tonight. >> thank you. >> we know the president came out, held a presser yesterday, to talk about the opioid crisis. i want to get your take on that, and his law and order approach to ending this. >> sure, i appreciate the questions. clearly you heard just a moment ago, our governor has taken a lean forward attitude with the military crisis and used the state of the emergency actually in maryland to facilitate high level of coordination at the state level. and then in each local jurisdiction, having a coordinating body so that we can do information sharing, and approach this crisis like we would handle any other crisis, and deal with it in a bald approach, from prevention, enforcement, and access to treatment perspective. and i think, you know, the federal government would do well to do the same. to take all of the federal agencies, pull them together, use a national response framework and target their energy and support a state. because truly this is a crisis

time. >> clay, i think cooperation is major, major asset in moving forward, with this. we know tom price said on the federal level, there is no plan to do a national emergency. so how important is it for states to work with each other, and to draw some support from federal government, but really just rely on each other here? >> well, jim, thank you for the question. and we are clearly working with the federal government, as we speak right now. highly engaged with federal criminal justice system, engaged with health and human services, cdc, high level of working coordination occurring, we also working with our neighboring states from regional perspective to develop best practices. and to start executing those. you'll see behind me, an ambulance here, anne arundel county maryland, launched safe station program where mobile crisis teams can come out 24 hours a day, when somebody needs to access treatment, they just come to a station. that's the best practice that we will be looking at rolling out through maryland. so we are working with the federal government. this is about trying to tweak and make sure that we're in

address probably the biggest crisis that we've seen in this country in a long time. >> so, i think through the years, when we talk about drugs, we talk about drug problems. you know, there is a stigma, you know, there is an image that people have when they think of somebody who is addicted to drugs. when we talk about opioids, i mean there is transends race, it transends economic backgrounds, i mean, how do you work around getting past, telling people, you know it, affect everyone out there. >> you know, jim, every talk that i make, across maryland, i ask the audience how many people in this room has it affected either personally or know somebody. always more than 09% of the audience. there is truly sigma around this. it is clear, as an emergency manager. we normally get subject matter experts together in a room to resolve an issue. often hurricane, tornado, this is a little different. because there is stigma, there are competing interests. so we have to sell this concept of a bald approach.

people to recognize that addiction, substance use disorders, is a medical issue. and needs to be treated as such. at the same time, we need to enforce laws to make sure that we disrupt and disorganize drug trafficking organizations, who are intentionally peddling poison to people, right? and at the end of the day, prevention is really what's going to work. we got to get into our schools, we have to arm our children with good decision-making techniques. >> absolutely. >> moving forward. and weaver to set expectation that is this is a long game, right? so that's how we're addressing this, jim. >> clay, thanks so much. we appreciate it. >> and we're back after this.
