guy have anything better to do with his life? we're in beijing with the test that could be a major change in the standoff with north korea. ben, good morning. >> reporter: if this truly was an icbm the threat from north korea just got a lot more serious. kim jong-un said his goal is a missile that could hit the united states and he may now be one step closer to making that happen. >> translator: north korea gleefully announced what it called an historic p event. a successful test of this intercontinental ballistic missile. with a projected range of about 4,000 miles it would be capable of hitting all of alaska, but not the continental united states or hawaii. during 11 missile tests this

7:08 am
>> jeff, it will take several community to make an assessment of whether this was an intermediate range missile or whether this was an intercontinental. that matters here. an intermediate range would not be able to reach alaska or hawaii, an icbm of the type we just saw tested would, so it really matters here but it will be a few days before we know for sure. >> jeff just mentioned that fourth of july and the g 20 summit coming up. what's the message that kim jong-un is sending to the world community right now? >> so it's interesting. he has had a history of doing provocative acts on july fourth. his first nuclear test back in 2006 was on july fourth. he seems to think that it has a particular psychological impact on us doing something on july fourth. it obviously does not. it
7:09 am
he would like on julyt cia that only thing doing this on july fourth is ruin the holidays of intelligence analysts. the message he's trying to send is, i can deter the united states of america from attacking me. i can deter them from trying to change the regime. that's the message he's trying to send. >> the national security advisor said there are a range of options they are looking at. you told us you thought the best thing to do would be to ignore the north korean president. the you believe that's still the case? >> so there is no good option here. there is no military option here to destroy his nuclear program, his missile program. there is no option to do that. that wouldn't start a second korean war and wouldn't raise the possibility of him using nuclear weapons against his
7:10 am
neighbors. he's got short range missiles t work to make a nuclear weapon to those missiles so the risks are extraordinarily high in a military standoff. there's also no diplomatic action here. i agree with the sentiment that there is no way that he will ever negotiate away his nuclear weapon program. so there's very little you can do except sanction him every time he does something and build our missile defenses as we're doing in south korea, in hawaii, in california, alaska, to defend ourselves. that is about all we can do in the situation we face here. there are no good options. >> thank you for joining us, mike. >> welcome. new jersey state beaches and parks are open for fourth of july after governor chris christie and democratic lawmakers reached a late night budget deal. the agreement came one day after christie was photographed with his familyn

force against north korea. >> thank you. north korea tested that missile just days before world leaders gathered for the g 20 summit in germany. president trump will discuss the nuclear threat with the leaders of japan and south korea. the president warned china the u.s. will act on its own to deal with north korea. the white house said on sunday that the two leaders agreed the korean peninsula should be nuclear free. ben has more this morning. >> reporter: so president trump is once again calling on china to help curb north korea's weapons program but china feels like it's done quite a bit in terms of backing sanctions on north korea. if you go back to april, they seemed form a relationship and president trump went out of his way to compliment the chinese leader but that relationship seems to have taken a
8:05 am
turn. beijing sanctions on a chinese bank that it accuses of aiding north korea. xi met with putin and we're told they did discuss the threat. they're urging all country to show restraint and it wants the u.s. to start talking to north korea to try to ease tensions. >> thank you, ben. tesla's long awaited and more affordable electric car could roll off the assembly line as early as friday. the new model three passed the requirements two weeks ahead of schedule. the first 30 cars will be delivered to customers on july 28th. the company expects to produce 20,000 cars each m.
8:06 am
can pull it off? >> this is the make or break moment. the roadster and the first truly mass produced affordable car, priced in the mid $30,000. it's a great looking ev and it should be a lot of fun to drive and those are things that we don't see in the market right now. >> this is a lot of pressure on this, is there not? based on where they've been and where they want to go -- >> yeah, tesla's been making very high priced vehicles with good range and good performance b but again, not something everybody can afford. they needed a mass model pruktd and this is what this is meant to be. >> how realistic are those numbers? >> ultimately they've done
8:07 am
of things to make that e model 3 they've really simplified things, streamlined the production process and enabled them to build a lot more of these cars. >> the battery has been the issue with the other production recently, hasn't it? >> right. so they've built this massive factory producing hundreds of thousands of batteries for them but there's still material shortages they need to work around and other things that could stunt that growth a little bit it's optimistic but i think we eelt 'll be seeing tesla bui this car. >> i just got to say i do like that third row. but you know, the fact that it's electric, do you think there's enough of a consumer base of the people who really want to invest in this? >> i think there will be going forward. most evs have been priced $40,000 and up and
8:08 am
compromises that you need to get over. with a car that's $40,000 and can do over 200 miles of range, ultimately it's priced to other cars. the average price of a car in the u.s. is $32,000. >> what do you think of the evs you've driven so far? >> they're fun to drive. the reliability is generally pretty good, but one of the big things that a lot of people don't think about is service. there's really no oil changes. no transmission problems, so they're nice to live with too. >> as long as you've got that charging station. thank you. we appreciate it. the number of teens working traditional summer jobs has plummeted. ahead, why he says it's not a sign of generational laziness. there he is. but first it's 8:08 and time to check your local weather.

summer job was as instructor, but that's not the focus you're focused on. one of them is education. why is education hurting teen work? >> i think there's a sense that when you look at statistics it seems like teenagers are being lazy. teenagers used to work during the summer and now they're not. if you look at the numbers 25% more of these teens are entering college and that 25% is exactly the drop in the number of teens who are working summer jobs so it appears to be a relatively one for one switch. they're less likely to work summer jobs but more likely to study, to take summer classes, to take unpaid internships which the government doesn't count as a job because it is in fact, unpaid. so they are keeping busy. they're investing in their future rather than working for that near minimum wage. >> is that a good thing the fact that they're in the classroom? >> i think it's a good thing. there are all
8:16 am
that there are skills that yous. and there's all sorts of evidence that suggest that people who go to and finish college are much more likely to make more money and be happy in their careers so i see this not a bad thing. >> it's good as long as you can afford it. you're not making a ton of money but some kids have to work to make that money. businesses still want to hire them though, they're not necessarily -- the kids want to pursue the education instead. >> two interesting things happen. first you have an increase in low skilled immigration and an increase in older workers working and they tend to take a lot of these jobs like in retail or in leisure and hospitalities that used to be the province of the teens during the summer. the minimum wage has increased a little bit recently and some people think that there might be a job that you give a 17-year-old for say $5 an hour but when the minimum wag

$15ok, i'm mott going to hire a teenager to work this job. >> retail, we've seen a decline on brick and mortar stores. has that had an impact? >> the u.s. economy has lost 80,000 retail jobs since october of last year. that's more than the total number of steelworkers in america. so you have enormous disruption happening in retail and i wouldn't rule that out. >> that was my first summer job. >> stick around because jeff's first job was making sandwiches. >> hoagies. yes. >> there's a difference. thank you for joining us. well, taking a ride on a bull takes a lot of courage but it might not be the most terrifying experience for one top rider. >> no fear of riding a bull but terrified of riding a roller coaster. how does that work? >> i don't know. my heart goes up in my throat and my stomach goe

8:34 am
the declaration that becomes the american birthday. >> i'm always surprised at what little i know about history. the basic things that you learn that you're surprised took a different turn. george washington for instance, where was he at the signing of the declaration? >> he did not sign. he was actually here in new york city. washington had taken over the continental army the year before, gone up to came bridge first and then the british left boston and came down to new york. washington had the troops here. the declaration was sent to him. he had it read aloud to the troops on july 9th. they went out then and store down a statue of king george the iii and melted it into bullets, so the legend goes. and the lead up to the battle of new york which was not a happy moment for hamilton or washington. it was a tremendous defeat for the continental army. >> there are things about history you're surpr y
8:35 am
what about george washington? what don't we know about him? >> well, he didn't chop down a cherry tree, so let's get rid of that. he is a fascinating character in so many ways. i think the thing that i always must come back to because we don't discuss it is what you mentioned in terms of the declaration. washington also was a slave holder. was one of the largest slave holders at the time, in fact, in 1776 and he was already beginning to wrestle with that problem. this contradiction. how do we fight for liberty, yet keep people in chains. so that's a problem. you mentioned jefferson condemning slavery and the southerners objecting to it but jefferson also noticed that a great many men of the north objected because they were making a great deal of money transporting slaves. there were slaves in every one of the colonies. >> jefferson wrote condemnation of slavery in one of the versions. >> that's right. his draft, which the library has -- the new york public library has, a
8:36 am
made it a few days denunciation of slavery. again, how could he denounce slavery that was taken out. i can tell you jefferson was not happy at being edited by the congress, but that in particular was taken out and it is this great contradiction, our nation concedes in liberty is also born in shackles and we still have to balance that out when we look at these great men and what they accomplished. they did risk life, liberty and their fortunes, their sacred honor. they would have been strung up if they had been caught but they were fighting to preserve and protect this crime against humanity. >> i wish i had learned more about women in american history. sally hemmings, we're learning so much more about her in recent years. they just recently discovered her living quarters.
8:37 am
>> they discovered the room in which sally lived. there's still a lot of work to be done to ascertain what exactly went on there, but background, sally hemmings is 30 years younger than thomas jefferson and he meets her when she's 14 essentially. she's taking care of his own daughter. she's sent as a 14-year-old with a 9-year-old girl on a ship across the sea. very different times, of course and that's when he first meets her. sally hemmings is jefferson's late wife's half sister. we have to remember that this is how close these connections were. this is a human face. that's why i wrote this book, "in the shadow of liberty," to put a human face on slavery. >> what about betsy ross? we talk about the american flag. she was the one who sewed the original stars and stripes. is that true?
8:38 am
sewed on by betsy ross. she did sew flags for philadelphia -- or pennsylvania, state flags for their navy. more interesting as a man you've never heard of, francis, he took credit for the design of the flag as we know it. he submitted a bill to congress asking for payment for his services. he wanted a quarter of the public wine. he didn't even know there was the public wine, but they turned him down because he was already on the payroll. they didn't want double dipping. >> no pun intended. >> but these are the dates behind the battles and the speeches and these were real people doing real things. >> thank you so much for joining us. well, a teenager takes on a one ton beast

>> reporter: for a bull session you off. >> yeah, you've got to be better than him. >> reporter: every time? >> every single time. >> reporter: it's exciting but scary every time he rides. jess's father knows that sitting on the back of a one-ton beast carries the risk of injury. >> do you have any fear out there? >> oh, no. there's a heck of a lot easier jobs that you could be doing that aren't as dangerous as this. if you have the slightest thinking you can get hurt, you might as pack up and go home. you know it's a dangerous sport and the consequences of it. >> earlier this year long john, a 1,900 pound bull bucked off lockwood and landed directly on his thigh. >> it's the moments like that that can derail a

power. >> you're going to get hurt and after you get hurt you'll know how bad you want to ride because you're going to see firsthand what can happen every single time. >> reporter: after six weeks of rehab and recovery, he's back. >> jess lockwood is never going to back down from a challenge. >> this kid is so tough that he gives it everything he's got. >> it has positioned him as the young heart throb to attract new fans. >> jess is the kind of kid that you dream about to come along, to take your sport even further than where it's been. >> the number one bull rider in the world, jess lockwood. >> are you surprised by how well you've done? >> no. you expect yourself to show up and win every weekend. there's no point in showing up if you're not planning on winning. >> but look at
