7:04 am
president trump heard it, so he pressed ahead, trying to turn the tables on kim jong-un by worrying about what the u.s. might do instead of the other way around. >> the people that were questioning that statement, was it too tough? maybe it wasn't tough enough. >> president trump's language was blunt and maybe menacing. >> they'd better get their acted together or they're going to be in trouble like few nations have ever been in trouble. >> they said they were planning a four-missile strike near guam as a warning. the u.s. said they will not fortified their military base there. >> if he does something in guam, it will be an event, the likes of which nobody has seen before. >> reporters asked if that was a dare. >> he's not going to go around threatening guam and the united states and he's not going to threaten japan and he's not going to threaten south korea.
7:05 am
say. that is a statement of fact. >> the president vowed to maintain the world's strongest nuclear course no matter the cost and he would prefer no nuclear weapons and the complications they present in north korea, pakistan, and iran. >> i would like to denuke the i would like russia and the united states and china and pakistan and many other countries who have nuclear weapons get rid of them. >> secretary james mattis said the u.s. can confront north korea but diplomats now are in the lead. >> my responsibility is to have military options should they be needed. you can see the american effort is diplomatically led, it has diplomatic traction, it's gaining diplomatic results. >> the president says he doubts this latest round of sanctions against north korea will succeed and he tried to entice more
7:06 am
prospect of better trade deals if they help out on north korea playing an economic card for the first time since this crisis intensified. vlad? >> major, thank you. the u.s. military said this morning that joint exercises with south korean forces at the end of august will go on as planned. they claimed they're rehearsals for war. 14 minutes. that's how long it would take north korean missiles to reach the island. president trump is again asking china's president to step in. ben tracy with new reaction. ben. >> good morning. china said they have been working very hard on the north korean issue and paid a price for doing so. that seems to be a reference with china going along with tough u.s. sanctions that will go along with curtailing trade with north korea. president trump wants him to do what he calls more. >> i think they
7:07 am
more and i think they will do a lot more. >> they're counting on china to solve it. he's threatened a trade war if they don't. >> but if china helps us, i feel a lot differently for trade. a lot differently. >> if the u.s. is trying to get china to take significant action against north korea, it's using more stick than carrot. yesterday they drove a ship toward one of the islands china claims as its station. in a terse statement china's foreign minister said this severely harmed china's sovereignty and security and that china is very displeased. and the chinese deposit made another statement a few hours ago saying the u.s. and north korea should acted with caution and stop taking turns on what china
7:08 am
>> "face the nation" anchor john dickerson is with us from washington. good morning to you. how did the president's comments affect the north korean situation? >> good morning, jeff. you know, it's -- it's interesting yesterday. he doubled down in a sense hem saids he remarks should have been toughering but in fact he pulled back. on tuesday he said all north korea had to do was threaten the united states. of course, they immediately threatened the u.s. and nothing was done. nothing was planned to be done. in a sense he drew a red line and they walked right over it. yesterday the response was the united states will respond if they attack guam. that's more traditional of a president. instead of saying he should have been tougher he, affect, drew a new line that was more realistic. >> president trump has been so critical of barack obama's red line he d
7:09 am
syria. isn't president trump in fact, creating a new challenge for himself with this rhetoric? >> that's correct. on tuesday he improvised that with that comment there would be this catastrophic response if north korea simply threatened, so that was a red line. immediately they threatened guam. and so now he's put a new marker out there. secretary of defense mattis was more skilled in the way that he threatened north korea. he basically said stop doing things that will lead to the end of your regime. that allows some cartilage in the relationship. so there's no mistaking what secretary of defense mattis was saying, but he also doesn't put himself in a corner if they do something specific if he crosses the line he's drawn. >> john, you also had some strong words from president trump
7:10 am
mcconnell. let's listen in. >> i said, you should have said, mitch, let's get it done. they lost by one vote. >> the president needs mcconnell to get through to capitol hill. what is he doing here? >> he's doing a little count counter-punch and a little blaming. he said more people would be covered, that their coverage would be better and the whole thing would cost less. everyone working on health care knew that would be impossible but the majority argued later the president set expectations too high and this was the president responding to that, but the blame shifting a little bit, too, is the president came to washington and said he alone could get health care passed. now that it's failed he's putting it on the senate. we'll see if that actually gets any
7:11 am
margins are quite narrow that mitch mcconnell has to work with there. >> john kelly is rounding out a week on the staff. he's bringing about discipline and more communication. are we seeing that? >> some discipline. the president's remarks have been improvisational. he may be managing down, but he's still got a challenge in managing up. >> thank you so much. on sunday he'll talk with leon panetta and a discussion with four mayors about discussions most important in their cities. that's sunday here on cbs. the u.s. is investigating what caused diplomats to incur illness including hearing loss. julianna goldman is outside the cuban
7:12 am
julianna, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. well, this all started late last year in havana, and now there are many questions and not many answers, but in may the u.s. did expel two cuban diplomats from here in washington. >> our americans were not safe, they were not secure obviously because something happened to them. >> reporter: the state department won't say what caused the ailments but said the safety of u.s. personnel is paramount. on cuban state tv the government denied any involvement and called the removal of cuban envoys, quote, unjustified and baseless. the ongoing investigation is pointing to sonic sound. it can't be heard but it's harmful. more than a dozen staffers at the u.s. embassy in havana reported various symptoms from
7:13 am
headaches to sleeplessness to pertinent hearing loss. they swept the home of one canadian diplomat. everyone in that home was also hospitali hospitalized. >> this also impacted family members of the diplomats. >> reporter: john caulfield was there at one time. >> this occurred at a time when relations had improved, and so it would be inconsistent with a all of the other behavior i saw by the cuban government that would take action that would physically harm diplomats. >> reporter: intelligence experts we spoke with told us most likely what happened is this was an intelligence gathering operation gone bad, possibly by the cubans or it could have even been the russians or this also could have been purposeful harassment of u.s.
7:14 am
but, vlad, the state department and the fbi continue to investigate. >> julianna goldman, thank you. google ceo is speaking out after the tech giant canceled a town hall meeting intended to address a memo by a former google employee. he said the company was forced to call off the meeting over safety concerns for staff. last night they spoke to teenage girls at a sporting event. carter, good morning. >> reporter: good morning. the companywide meeting was canceled just about 45 minutes before it was supposed to begin. now google executives are figuring out how to respond to employee questions about the memo and about the company's firing of its author. google ceo sus ceosundar pichai going to hold

7:16 am
my low yiannopoulos addressed them on twitter. >> google is in a very unusual position right now. when you have a polarized work-force and you're talking about fracturing communication even further, i'm sure they're feeling this won't be resolved. >> reporter: pichai is reading e-mails and says the vast majority supports him. they plan to hold group forums for employees to discuss their concerns. jeff? >> thank you. the lead detective investigating the hazing death of a penn state stunt believes someone tampered with crucial evidence. he testified yesterday that hours of surveillance video from a frat house basement was del e deleted on purpose. that's where
