seth is emotional, but tebow wasn't done making seth's day special. seth, now he's going to hit a home run. >> reporter: his mother predicts tebow will hit a home run, just wait and see. good-bye mr. spalding. a day at the ballpark this young fan will never forget. >> the president said we are locked and loaded. >> nobody ever thinks about the big old usa getting attacked. but that's a good possibility with a guy like this. >> what you think this means our local economy and defense preparedness? >> there was this morning, reading websites describing how nuclear fallout clouds would spread in the event of a nuclear bomb dropped on the united states. a frightening not so far fresh

scenario with president trump and north korea leader, kim and joan own playing their chicken week. trump tweeted this money, the u.s. is locked and loaded. a fairly, i'm not the only person wondering. i had to get out with owner frank tamayo says that disaster prep star has been busier and busier over the past week. >> everybody is rushing now. it's ironic. i've been here seven years where they could have done a bucket a year and been set with everybody waits to the last minute. we are not the most intelligent creatures, that's for sure. >> frank usually sell four to five it packets of potassium iodide tablets a week. this week, more than 200 packs. the only two left. and i got one. >> you have two packs left. >> i have more coming in but yes. it's been a big rush on it. nobody knows what to expect.

>> in this? >> now, it's debatable whether north korea's missiles could actually even reach the east coast or even the midwestern part of the united states. but folks are getting worried. i did run into customers who are coming into stores specifically in response to the north korea tensions. they did not want to go on camera. secrecy is card of a cardinal rule among disaster peppers. for good reason. when things go down, you don't want people coming to steal your stuff. >> be prepared to stay in your house for a minimum of one month. make care house look like it's been hit if gangs are coming. trash furniture, clothing, make it look like it has already been ransacked and pray they go to the next house. >> are you getting ready? are you scared? this? tweet me at the show at chasing news. locked and loaded. >> thank you. we are now joined by lieutenant

governor kim lugano. welcome to chasing news. >> think of happened me on. >> i want to ask you, today governor christie is traveling so that makes you the governor today. with the rising tension with north korea, i have two questions. one, what to do has the governor today to prepare, if anything, or is there anything or state government is doing? and what does this mean for the local area for new york and new jersey, given the size of the joint base that we have a new jersey, and all the folks that have loved ones deployed overseas? >> first, everybody should know that like any possible emergency, were in contact with the appropriate officials from the federal, state, county level. everybody is prepared in the event of any emergency. weather comes from new jersey or korea. everybody should understand that is not something new to this administration. not something new for me.

is something we have dealt with many levels under many circumstances. second, you new jersey is uniquely qualified to respond. never forget that after 9/11, the first airplanes up where the f-16s from atlantic city. we were the first ones up in the air after that, within 15 minutes of the striking of the second tower. unfortunately, it is really the west coast that is the target if anything should happen. i'm glad to hear that the un have sanctions and all of the countries of the world have come together to make sure something awful does not happen. but, if it is a new jersey we are prepared. >> as a mom, the son was in the air force, who is training as a pilot, where are you on this? >> that's an easy one. when he signed up to go to the united states air force academy, i was very proud. at that time, the world was a

little different place. now, he is a pilot and he is training in an f-16. those are what fly over korea. so, i have a personal interest in making sure that the country in the world keeps north korea calm. i'm sure that we will with all of the sanctions that we have seen and nikki haley being able to bring to the table at the un. >> does this have any impact on your campaign? your running to governor to replace chris christie, you have an opponent who is a former opponent, does this tension color the campaign at all. >> i think it's an issue that is to be handled by washington. it's something as a governor that we have to be aware of. that's how are concerned but it terms of the gubernatorial issue no. >> wayne smith is with us. good heavy here and a member of

the county government, welcome back. >> thank you. >> you heard the conversation, we get the president of the united states your new jersey. we have the joint base, and new jersey is at the center you may say of this crisis in that sense. what you think this means to our local economy ? our local defense preparedness of people in the military? >> i would think and have a better former mayor and served as the emergency management coordinator for the local government, if you're hosting the president your security is ratcheted up. in light of the tension i would think it's even more. i think the president style really scares a lot of people in terms of how he negotiates for

policy in the open press. on twitter. so, people are concerned, the fire the fury. >> think about that. fire and fury twitter, i heard the this morning we had a conversation on the radio about it. i said are we happy that we have somebody standing up for us? >> i'm happy that we have someone who standing up for us. his words are very strong, but there's a lot of rhetoric. it's the first time that north korea has actually hurt somebody actually say don't mess with around with us. we are not going to take what you do anymore. we are done. >> what you think? other two sides to it? the political side and actions i? >> i think you can play to the press and made like you're standing for us, but you have to do that smart strategically. and would that be something strategically smarter? >> a surprise that some of the detractors are more surprised on the presidents comments in the dictator north korea? >> is both ways. osama bin laden, we had no idea the united states government was going to kidnap him. there's no rhetoric in the atmosphere, decimated safer.

you can have those discussions behind the scenes and so forth, but at the end of the day, you have to figure out what you're going to do. >> i think this is a perfect distraction. we are all benton wrapped up and firing. and meanwhile i'm sure there's all kinds of stuff going on behind the scenes. we are just not knowing about it. everybody sinking, listen to what he said and then he'll sweep in and this will be settled. i'm not losing sleep over, i have confidence that were gonna be okay. >> do you lack confidence in the united states? >> i am a little scared. i am a little scared that, that kind of foreign policy discussion and that kind of bravado, if you will -- i don't think we have a stable guy north korea. so, does that -- >> the president today said we are locked and loaded. that is beyond the fire. , how does that make you feel? >> does a person react negatively and attack us? no one ever things about the big old usa getting attacked, that's

a real possibility. >> but is in the opposite true? barack obama was we get the switch #. >> all i can say is -- a he got osama bin laden. >> we have more to come. i think the president tough talk is necessary. i think it's time we have a commander in chief willing to take action. it starts with strong rhetoric. what you think? to agree or disagree? to the show at chasing news. >> the blue point bring company in long island is rolling out a neubert next week it available exclusively in penn station. is called delayed and inspired by the schedule of summer killing amtrak repairs. the can is designed to look like the long island railroad schedule board. >> everybody is that with the frustration of the delay. if we can give the beer drinkers in the community of relief through good beer that is the goal. >> high school student painting of the statue of liberty wearing a heat the job, it one fourth

place. we the people rising said the painting does not belong in the congressman's office. that is some of the headlines where chasing today. >> three new jersey counties maybe in hickory $26 million bailout of the solar company after the project was left in shambles. >> they thought, it is going to pay us. this is gross incompeten pro-tip: chop all your veggies for the week at once. super pro-tip: buy your veggies pre-chopped. boom. the best food at amazing prices, giant.

giant has unbelievable pro tip produce prices. : so you'll never have to choose between your favorites. i thought i was your favorite. take a fresh look at giant's produce prices.

>> welcome back to jason news. i'm bill. we have a story for you today about solar energy. as much as i want to talk about how inefficient and ineffective i think solar energy is, i can't talk about that. in the face of what is such a gross incompetence on the part of three new jersey county governments, costing taxpayers tens of millions of dollars because somebody was asleep at the switch. will bring in alex for details of this troubling sort. >> taxpayers and three new jersey counties might be on the hook for 26 million-dollar bailout of a solar company after the project is left is get shambles. they heard of a deal but it's too good to be true. they do it at no cost to the taxpayers or wait reap the benefits of the profits.

the project was mistake when you're, took five. on wednesday, matt boxer told us what went wrong. >> the administration of this project was a perfect storm. this county was a victim of that. the project was a public-private partnership. a developer name sunlight, a contractor named matt tech who are the only bidders to put in for the project, boxer says they should've seen it as a red flag right away. now boxer stop short of saying any of this was criminal. he called it a gigantic mistake. some, including assemblyman have called for federal investigation. boxer said that one of the

glaring missteps was a 12 person committee designed to see whether or not the project would work. nine of the people on the committee have something to gain financially from the project. the other three county employees told the investigators they never even knew they were on their board. >> thank you. welcome back to our panel, wayne smith, president ceo. and serena, you are a member of the county government. i wasn't -- all county government. you heard the story. three counties, three republican counties contracting out solar energy they thought that it was so good it is going to pay us. of course, fell apart. the first question, about county government, i for one am not surprised. six years, how did it take them six years? >> i would tell you that it would not happen in mammoth. >> but you didn't do it when

given the same opportunity, why? >> it wasn't a pan out financially. we said it wasn't going to work. in this case, the fact that was supposed to be done in one year and six years later -- at some point there's a process that you have to go through to do this stuff. >> wayne, wise government so broken? this is gross incompetence. people should be fired. you are stuck foot in the bill for their incompetence. >> in this case is true. we had three employees and none of them knew they were on the board. which clearly shows that there is no coordination between the three counties. everybody fell asleep at the switch. at the end of the day, the taxpayer suffers. i will say this, government, as well as society has to look at innovations. we should take risk on occasion to look at things that might reduce costs, but six years is a long experiment. >> almost $30 million in the taxpayers will have to foot the spill. incompetence doesn't breed into something criminal. at the same time, -- wise and

local government incentivizing companies to come in instead of coming up with project after project. >> will bring a good tax dollars for them. they said it was a project too good to be true, if it's too good to be true, it is. >> it seems to me there chasing a fantasy on this whole alternative energy. the chase because he already got an incredible efficiency and natural gas. the parrying 80% of homes in jersey. wise and the government doing more to help people what is naturally doing in the market instead of putting you on the hook for nearly $30 million. agree, disagree? tweet me or tweet the show at chasing news. i want to thank our panel today.
