7:05 am
and russia. scientists believe it was potentially ten times more powerful than north korea's last nuclear test and at least five times the explosive power the bombs the united states dropped en hiroshima and nagasaki at the d of world war ii. >> it is a qualitatively different test. >> jonathan pollack is with the weapons program. >> it's not only a much more powerful weapon but might also be something much more miniaturized so that it would in theory at least be able to fit on the warhead of a long range missile. >> reporter: just before the nuclear test, north korea released these pictures of kim jong-un looking at it. north korea successfully tested two icbms in july. >> this is the highest. he
7:06 am
extraordinary extent, far beyond what i would have imagined a year or two ago. >> they will allow the u.s. to install two more thaad rocket launchers. it's part of a missile defense system here in south korea. dana? >> ben, thank you. they're warning north korea of a mass unmilitary response to any major threat. major, good morning. >> good morning. the sense that both nakss are on a collision course is quite unmistakenab unmistakenable. in statement released here at the white house yesterday, president trump said all assets are at his disposal including the vast u.s. nuclear arsenal. north korea's successful test of an alleged hydrogen bomb far more powerful than the atomic bombs at the nuclear age brought a stern warning from secretary
7:07 am
of defense james mattis. >> any threat to the united states or its territories including guam or allies will be met with massive military response, a respongs both effective and overwhelming. >> mattis spoke after an emergency meeting at the white house and outlined every military option. >> we're not looking to the total annihilation of a country, namely north korea. >> before the meeting president trump attended church for the national day of prayer for hurricane harvey and was asked if he would attack north korea. >> would you attack north korea? >> south carolina republican lindsey graham described the conflict to come if even nomic pressure or diplomacy fails. >> let me tell you how the war ends. it ends with his utter destruction. thousands of people could be killed or maimed. >> it was said

great threat to china. >> this behavior is completely unacceptable. >> the administration is for the time being promising to intensify economic pressure and promising to punish those who trade with north korea. >> anybody who wants to do trade or business with them would be prevented from doing trade or business with us. >> the next level of u.s. sanctions could focus on large state owned banks or businesses in china that deal frequently with north korea. and it could affect both nations. jeff, last year, more than $1 trillion in trade between the u.s. and china. >> mayor garrett, thank you. c bbs contributor michael i with us. good morning. >> good morning jeff. >> first of all, do you believe it was a hydrogen bomb, and if it is,
7:09 am
>> jeff, this was about ten times stronger than the previous test. hydrogen bombs are typically ten to 100 times stronger than an atomic bomb, so it ee at the lower end. our intelligence community will be able to determine whether it was a hydrogen bottom. probably too early to say with certainty. >> would you be surprised if it is? >> no, jeff. not at all. they've been all over this program for the last 25 years. u.s. intelligence discovered it in the early 1990s. we focused on it since. we predicted accurately how it would have evolved and how kim jong-un wanted to do this. there isn't anything we've seen in the last, i would say, last five years that would have been a surprise. it's all predictable. >> now there's
7:10 am
korea north korea may have a plan as well. how concerning is this of the tension in the region right now? >> dana, one of the things to remember is that most wars don't start with intent. most wars start because people stumble into them. mistakes are made. it's the way world war one started. so rising tension of the kind we've seen in the korean peninsula in the last six months is deeply concerning from that respect. >> mike, we heard defense secretary mattis talking about military options. trump tweeted about economic consequences for countries that traded with north korea and suggested that south korea is appeasing the north. is that a right approach? >> vlad, i think that the best approach here is the right words and the right actions. the right words are sober, right? it's keeping all options open. it's that we will defend our
7:11 am
allies at all costs. we will protect ourselves. this is exactly what jim mattis said. those are the right words. we shouldn't be threatened the north. in terms of action, we should be ramping up the sanctions. we should be building our missile defense, and that is south korea and japan, and we should make that known. we should conduct more missile defense tests. that's what we should be doing right now. >> michael, if the approach has been sober for years and years and they've continued this lurch toward nuclear weapons, what is it? do you assume it's going to happen? >> jeff, i think at the end of the day we face two choices. one is a military attack with devastating consequences and no guarantee of success and the other is an acceptance of where they are and where they're going with detainment and deterrence. i think the latter makes the most sense. i think that's where we'll end up. >> michael morell, thank you very much as always, sir. >> you're welcome. president trump is

8:03 am
the south korean military said the exercise involving jets and ballistic missiles was an attempt to strongly warn pyongyang. now, before news of sunday's nuclear test, north korean state media released pictures claiming to show kim jong-un inspecting a miniaturized hydrogen bomb that could fit on an icbm. on sunday they tested two icbms k5i7able of reaching the united states for the first time, but it's not known if they have the technology that would survive the pressure of a re-entry into the atmosphere. south korea announced yesterday it will allow the u.s. to install four more thaad launchers. that's part of a controversial defense missile system. dana? >> thank you. a u.s. intelligence official said there's high confidence

8:05 am
>> "usa today's" washington bureau susan page is with us this morning. good morning. >> good morning, vlad. >> they talked about multiple military options. the president tweeted about economic actions. what do you make? >> it was from the defense secretary, the chair manner of the joint chiefs. it didn't come from the secretary of state. you do have a sense that what they're saying is what previous administrations have said, which is all options are on the table. you do have a sense that military options are a higher prospect now than we ever seen. >> susan, congress is returning this week with a lot to try to work around here. debt ceiling, tax reform policy, north korea. there's also this news now that president trump is looking to potentially end the daca program for undocumented immigrants and children. what happens with daca now,
8:06 am
ball in congress's court? >> that's what we understand he's going to do. he's going to rescind daca. those are the reports out of the white house. that's going to create a real political firestorm because while we know the president supports the idea and it's something he promised to do over and over again in the campaign, the americans, two thirds and three forths do not want these young people at the risk of deportation. so this is going to create some big challenges for congress. they've debated this before and have been unable to act. and also wait's going to mean for republicans in next year's mid tefrm elections. we've got california's pete wilson in the 1990s who took action scenes that were deleterious. and the republicans in california have been paying that price ever since. >> congress is back in session next week. this idea of the

being tied to har version we know they've got to get to the harvey relief right away. what do you make of this? >> i think the terrible tragedy of hurricane harvey gives way to them getting a debt ceiling lifted which is of help to them. republicans are often reluctant to raise the debt ceiling, but everybody is in favor of providing relief to these hurricane victims. so in a way this might be helpful legislatively to get that done. also funding of the government. there are a couple of things the government must do in the month of september. >> could it also be helpful we see bipartisan work in congress? >> i think that's possible. it's something that would be a big relief. i think a lot of people watch these scenes oust houston. they were heart rehn. ing because of the devastation but heart-warming because you saw the people working together. you see the local government doing a pretty good job of getting things under control there. >> s,
8:08 am
that tax reform goes anywhere? >> i think tax reform is one of those high priorities that keeps getting lower on the list. if daca is rescinded, it's going to be below trying to do something about these young people who came here illegally, brought here illegally as children. i think it just gets harder and harder to see how that gets done. >> does the president still believe that mexico is going to pay for that wall, susan, because that ee going to be a discussion that congress takes on. >> you know, the president continues to say that, but from his conversation that we heard about the transcript that was release of his conversation with the mexican president, it doesn't sound like even the president thinks that's a realistic possibility. >> susan page as always, thank you very much. >> thank you. texas governor greg abbott says damage from harvey could cost up to $180 billion. streets of houston are lined with storm debris. harvey damaged nearly
