bordallo: guam, miss i am lo, mr. speaker, indeed proud to introduce the lwcf parity for territories and d.c. act. with the support of all six members of the house representing our u.s. territories and the district of columbia as original co-sponsors. mr. speaker, this bipartisan bill gives parity to guam, the other territories, and d.c. in annual funding from the federal land and water conservation fund. the current law requires the territories and d.c. to split single state's annual lwcf allocation. this bill fixes this disparate by providing -- disparity by providing a full state's annual lwcf allocation. this bill state equivalent share of the land and water conservation fund funding for each territory and d.c. every year. this additional funding is needed to improve our public parks, our outdoor sports fields, and community open spaces on guam and the other territories. especially as puerto rico and the u.s. virgin islands rebuild rom recent hurricanes. i encourage our colleagues to co-sponsor this bipartisan leg

we have not heard about guam for some weeks?we have not, but i think it's noteworthy we are hearing about it now. on monday the u.s. and south korea will kick off with yet another round of joint military exercises. north korea has been very unhappy because the u.s. deployed a nuclear submarine to the region and aircraft carrier to the region and these navel drills kick off and it's an impetus for north korea to conduct provocative acts. they launched scores of missile and now you have the new article in north korea media threatening once again to launch themissile toward guam. had those missiles been pointed to the south they could have easily reached the u.s. territory of guam, home to more than 160,000 u.s. citizens along with key military assets. this is north korea's most provocative missile test ever if they follow-through with it. kim jong-un back in august said he would watch u.s. behavior and if the united states in their view acted recklessly north korea said they would potentially go forward with the launch towards gua

territory of guam.l times that we will take counter actions for self-defense, including missiles into waters near the u.s. territory of guam. this threat coming a day after new military exercises in the region. py want to talk this over with gordon jiang. it's worth taking note that north korea is reiterated this old threat that guam could be in trouble. how do you interpret that. it sounds like when north korea says, take counter actions for develop defense, that sounds like that's in response to the u.s. making some preemptive action. is that how you interpret it? >> the north koreans will always say something provocative. and doing something belligerent like we have right now with the uss ronald reagan carrier, along with 39 or so other ships. the north koreans don't like this, they think it's preparation for a launch of an attack on north korea, that is not true. this is standard operating procedure for the north koreans, this threat against guam is something we need to take into account. the north

to them because within a few days he came back and said maybe he wouldn't attack guam. i think we do the chinese attention. it's just a question of what they want to do. >> africa, you talk about kenya and there's an election going on it. let me ask you about south africa. you met with mandela. why do you think democracy hasn't worked as well after mandela as it was expected? >> mandela was remarkable man. i don't think about anybody who i was more inspired or found more impressive. in fact, he said to george w. bush when president bush asked him, why don't you run for another term?you he said i want to my african brothers to know it's okay tofr step down from office. and on a continent that had so many presidents alike, this is really an important statement. it's again a story of institutions. it is essentially a single party system under the african national congress. somehow mandela was great authority was never transferred into institutions which could then survive him. they've had considerable trouble sense, but the institutions are still there. just that it's been

narrator: but then, north korea toned down its rhetoric, announcing it was putting its plans to hit guamor president trump, this was a sign that his approach was working. >> and you see what's going on in north korea. all of a sudden, i don't know, who knows, but i can tell you, what i said, that's not strong enough. some people said it was too strong; it's not strong enough. but kim jong-un, i respect the fact that i believe he's starting to respect us, i respect that fact very much. respect that fact. (beeping) (rocket fires) >> narrator: within days, north korea launched one of its most provocative missiles yet. it passed over japan's populated island of hokkaido, flying for about 1,700 miles, almost the same distance as it would take to reach guam. >> the trump administration has what we would consider sort of a classic dilemma. they have only choices of bad options. we can dramatically increase the pressure, economic and otherwise, to see if we can pressure north korea to the negotiating table. or we can choose to treat north korea as a country that has nuclear capabilities and try

one missile getting through would be a human catastrophe the s ther it is soul, guam -- seoul, guam,. -- my grandfather believe our only hope for civilization was supposed the end de-escalate in tensions, not escalating. living in the shadow of the bomb, we had no choice but to go forward and try and control it. that is the situation we were in. he liked to quote jefferson, that the survival of democracy depended on eternal vigilance. we had to be strong, but we had to negotiate. charlie: what year did he die? jenna: 1978. charlie: did he know the kennedys? jenna: he knew them well. isolationist. he wanted to make a deal with the germans and get on with it. side and the opposite thought those people that wanted to make peace with the germans go to business with the winning side so he and kennedy were on the opposite side, but the sons were all at harvard under him and in his years at harvard. charlie: did he have a relationship with the president? jenna: he did. he worked with kennedy. like so many americans, he had so much hope for kennedy and kennedy made him in charge of a number

what if there are korean missiles flown over guam or hawaii. korean missiles landing in japan. is it legitimate for the united states president, under domestic law, to use force? would it be legitimate international law in those nightmare scenarios that the united states use force? i will concede. i am not a legal scholar. i have a law degree but -- [laughter] i think an attack -- the question is do you characterize a missile and not a warhead going over guam and attack. -- an attack. the interesting things, i do not have an answer, but one of the most interesting things is we are in cease-fire. there is no active congress to authorize the operations in korea. fighting the were credence until 1953. this is a cease-fire. could firesense, you an opinion about almost anything. that is a unique situation with respect to korea. what are the legal consequences? my sense would be, practically, that the president would be confronted with something where day tore powers or a decide on action. debate.ibits a to president bush's credit, there was a debate on iraq. i voted against it. it w

already have the capability to at least reach with missiles to the great american citizens that live in guam. >> laura: congressman trent franks talked about the possibility of north korea with its hydrogen bomb capabilities ultimately being able to explode an emp over the middle of the country, you know, electromagnetic pulse bomb. and you play that out, that could ultimately lead to the death of like 90% of the country, cars don't work, computers don't work, nothing works without the computer any longer. what about that? i mean, that's a scenario that newt gingrich wrote a novel about that. but it's -- that is the kind of thing that i think about keeping you up at night because when i started reading about that, that really is terrifying. >> and that's why he cannot have an icbm that can deliver a survivable nuclear device to the homeland. they are coming close, laura. >> laura: yeah, it kept you up at night. you said this is the issue that kept you up at night more than any other issue. is it still? >> it certainly still is because it's such a destabilizing. but the great hope we all have

territory guam if the pacific in retaliation for those baomber flights.rs take off from the base in guam. as of yet, no response from pyongyang. but certainly, we are waiting more it and we'll keep you up to speed when we hear anything. >> and the reaction seems to carry with it some kind of reaction. alexand alexandra field, thanks so much. >>> the california wildfires growing by the minute. we have a very troubling forecast. breaking news, coming up. it produces 530 cubic feet of the #1 rair per minute, blower. delivers superior loosening power, and runs for an hour on a single charge. exclusively at the home depot and ego authorized dealers. >>> good morning, everyone. top of the hour. 10:00 a.m. eastern. i'm poppy harlow. >> and i'm john berman. we have breaking news now in northern california, where wherefores have already burned 122,000 acres. 17 people are dead. 200 more are missing. 20,000 people have been ordered to evacuate. officials there are urging people to prepare ready-to-go backs with documents and medicine inside. >> the job of fighting

territory of guam. cnn's bill ripley monitoring.do they? >> reporter: that's right. previous exercises have resulted in north korea provocation such as nuclear test, missile launch over japan, earlier this year and by all indications according to north korean propaganda just last week we revived the threat to potentially launch missiles towards guam. the indid i occasions are there could be a strong response, spask. the u.s. so totally destroy north korea and came up with a nickname for the leader, little rocket man, something that infuriated pyongyang, their foreign minister calling president trump deranged. we know these drills expected to last 10 days. we also know there's a ballistic missile submarine in the region but the u.s. is not confirming whether the michigan is taking part in the drills. the north insists these are a declaration for war. we have to watch to see if tensions escalate, what north korea's response to all of this will be, if indeed they do respond. history shows it's a very likely possibility. also under way,

how close is north korea to having an icbm to reach guam or california or the east coast of the unitedtes. >> they might be able to hit guam with an intermediate range missile, but to reach say los angeles or oregon or boston or new york or washington, d.c., we are talking about a full on icbm. they have not yet demonstrated they are as close to that as talk would you have believe. here's why. let's assume they have a nuclear weapon that they miniaturized to sit on top of missiles. we don't know that, but think that's true. the missile that would have to carry this across that distance would have to be more robust than what we have seen so far. more power down here. they need an imagine powerful enough to push it at the angle to push through the atmosphere and buffetting. we don't know if they have such an engine. that raises another question about stability. you don't just take a more powerful engine and drop it into another rocket. it could care it apart. same thing here. you have to look at how to beef up this rocket to handle all that extra power. if you don't, it falls apart. that

. >> we see the firing of missiles over the japanese territory and threatening to hit guam or the united states as pretty aggressive. i think what we have to do is say we're going to follow this policy of isolating them diplomatically, economically. we have to bring them to their knees economically in order to bring them to the table. i think threatening war, walk softly, talk softly, carry a big stick. >> you want trump to stop referring to kim jong-un as rocket man. >> yeah. if you take a two-edged sword and try to wield a two-ended sword that has no handle, you're as hurt by it as your potential victim. that's what we're doing. the president lowers his estreem when he gets into name calling. that's not consistent with the dignity of the office. >> should the u.s. continue these exercises over south koreian air space, these bombers? as you know, the north koreans always see that as a potential act of aggression. >> we should continue to do what we're doing saying if you're going to threaten either our neighbors the south koreans, japanese, guam, the united states we're going to show yo

pacific territory of guam. that was a response to remarks by president trump unleashing fire and fury the likes the world has never seen. it was really one of the points of the greatest tension over the summer months. you have again seen the north korean regime renewing this threat through state media. and certainly, natalie, these drills are scheduled to continue for the next ten days. we expect we will hear more rhetoric from the regime. as you point fraught the past you have seen them take action, including missile launches. just this year, you've had more than a dozen ballistic missile launches coming from north korea. natalie? >> ten long days. we'll see what happens. thank you so much, alexandra field for news seoul. >> let's look at our other main foreign policy story here. iran is fighting back against the u.s. president's threats to withdraw from the landmark nuclear deal. the country says it will stop letting international monitors inspect its facilities unannounced if the deal is canceled. let's go t

the pictures show two bombers taking off from guam on the way to the sea of japan. it's the first time japanese and south korean fighters flew alongside u.s. planes. president trump and military officials have been discussing options on dealing with pyongyang. and the u.s. navy has fired the commander and executive director of the "uss mccain." the warship's top two officers. it collided in august killing ten sailors and injuring five more. in a statement, they called it preventible, saying the commanding officer exercised poor judgment and the executive officer exercised poor leadership. >>> president trump is firing back at republican senator bob corker, mocking him with a new nickname, and the president appeared to take a swipe at the secretary of state. but the white house insists he was only joking. abc's jonathan karl with details. >> reporter: president trump seemed to lob a new insult at his new secretary of state after the report that rex tillerson called him a quote, moron. i think it's fake news, the president told forbes, but if he did that, i guess we'l

the bombers flew from the us airbase in guam, on a training exercise.en a country of propaganda, a country of military mobilisation. this time, certainly much more so than my previous trips. that is because of a general escalation of tensions over the last couple of years, but it is partly because of president trump's rhetoric and his speech to the united nations in which he talked about the total destruction of north korea. he was attempting to intimidate kim jong—un into korea. he was attempting to intimidate kimjong—un into backing off, but the north koreans have seized upon that for their own propaganda purposes, partly because... look, their narrative for kim jong—un's existence is to defend the korean people from outside threats. now they have somebody talking about the total destruction of north korea. it plays into their own narrative and they using it to justify their rule and to justified the military mobilisation and to further escalate tensions themselves. i think there are people on both sides who are trying to avert, what could be a calami

are nuclear capable, can range south korea and japan and missiles that can range the key bases in guam and continuing to icbm's. they just tested an h bomb 10 powerful as the hiroshima bomb. as i said, we did war games, it horrendous casualties, so ow that they have mobile missile launchers, it is harder to target those n. war, anything is possible, maybe it is quick and dry war and everyone is over orow quickly it is e could see it as secretary mattis and joseph dunford said, it will be unlike anyone has seen, brutal. very high-risk game if we're trying to push military be overthinking it will easy. host: from staten island, hello.can line, ryan, caller: yes, hello, my feeling is north korea will keep on nuclear weapons. i listen to a c.i.a. analyst and basically that they are going to try to blackmail us reuniifiying the north with kim jong-un motive to unify with the south, basically. they want to keep on building we want to el protect seowl, instead of san francisco. i believe that. so it is just a game like the other guy was saying before. is only way he will attack with emp, that

a lot of wet weather in guam. talking about storms, very nasty across the balkans.snow could well cause a lot of disruption and bring down power lines. it is slowly creeping east on wednesday. by then, heavy rain in the baltic states and some easing possibly in some of the balkans from what we‘ve seen in recent days. however we still have that heat across the mediterranean adriatic feeding the thunderstorms around greece, southern parts of the balkans and into turkey on wednesday so balkans and into turkey on wednesday so it looks like we will continue the severe weather risk. dry across siberia and the heat is building again, as we‘ll see in california, temperatures up to 8 degrees above average, exacerbating the risk of wildfire. thomas will have more of the uk weather in half an hour. hello, i‘m nuala mcgovern, this is outside source. it‘s unanimous, the communist party votes to enshrine president xi‘s name and ideology in the constitution, it‘s being hailed as a new era for china. and on the other side of the atlantic, president trump is heckled by a protester ,

when kim jng indicated that the missiles are there heading towards guam, then president trump said that surprised to see that president trump is different from obama. maybe president trump can conduct a military attack on north korea. so this rhetoric stopped kim jong—un from further going on the attack. so i think that kind of unpredictability of president trump these days is working. so, how is america best able to protect itself and its ally, south korea? satellite pictures i saw show how hard it is to keep track of the north's missile sites. this factory here, this is called the number 65 factory, it's largely an underground manufacturing facility. under this hillside, covered in trees? yes, yep. this of course just shows you how difficult it would be for a military strike to take out all the missile sites. mh—hm. they're hidden and they move them around. i would say most of north korea's important military infrastructure is underground. and any military action taken by the us could come at a huge loss of life in south korea, according to one former cia korea expert. when i was in t

territory of guam. rocket man kim jong-un is upset about joifnlt s. and south korean naval drills in the waters around the peninsula. joining me, john hannah. great to have you with us. this has been as we were discussing earlier in the broadcast a remarkable week of leadership for the president of the united states. on iran. on domestic issues, whether they be immigration. you name it. we are look at an economy that is right now strong, it is growing. and the confidence of the american people is reflected in interest, you are advise and indexes. this is something that the left has feared from the moment that donald trump jumped into the race and ultimately won the white house. >> let me just refer to the iran case. what happened today i think is just a major inflection point in the history of u.s. policy forward iran. in over four defend kids no american president prior to donald trump has ever had a con prehencive strategy to push back against iranian aggression and iranian attacks against american interests. donald trump has now declared war on the

ramped up since the last couple of years because if you go and talk to people at the university of guam they'll tell you that they were used to this sort of silly rhetoric from or some silly i mean he's threatening nuclear war rhetoric from from the north korean side thanks coming to happen quite a bit but they're not used to it from the united states that that's new trump has really upped the ante by talking about wiping. wiping out north korea this kind of thing like there's any only one solution these kinds of threats but again not decisive distraction really we've had a complete collapse of capitalism since two thousand and eight capitalism died right if people don't realize that they need to realize that now in two thousand one ever since the whole dodo of the economic system has been being propped up you know virtually a civil suit look at two dimensional screen now rather than anything really meaningful to the dodos been propped up by cons to be easing this is just printing money out of nowhere and injecting it into places which will help make it look like there's an illusion of

to reach of the homeland, and right now it is a great concern for a lot of americans that live in guam. right now we think the threat is manageable, but over time if it grows beyond where it is today, well -- let's hope diplomacy works. as far as the tweets, i read in the paper, you all know, you write it -- i have been a failure and controlling the tweeting's, or his and all that. i was not brought to this job to control anything but the flow of information to our president, so he can make the best decisions. i have found mr. trump from the day i met him, he is a decisive guy, a very thoughtful man i should say. he takes information in from every avenue he can receive it. i restrict no one by the way from going in to see him, but when we see him now rather than we go into twos, help them collectively understand what he needs to understand to make these vital decisions. so again, i was not sent, or brought into control him and you should not measure my effectiveness as a chief of staff by what you think i should be doing, but simply the fact is i can guarantee you that he is now presen

so sometimes these systems can get guamed, and bad stuff -- gamed, and bad stuff can rise to the top, and conspiracies and hoaxes can seem really real. i think we're collectively realizing that and trying to decide what to do about it. the tech companies are saying, look, it's not our responsibility to vet every piece of news out there, but at the same time everybody kind of believes they have to do more, and i think the question is what is that more. >> host: so in a sense, "the wall street journal" or propublica would be a much sterner vetter than facebook. for example. >> guest: oh, absolutely. i mean, for instance, like even the amount of fact checking i do on my articles is insane, right? i'm very concerned about everything that i write being absolutely true and that, you know, we're held to -- we have legal liability for what we publish, and so we have lawyers that read everything before we publish, and we take our responsibility really seriously. and most news organizations do. and, you know, the problem is that now we have this sort of decentralization of news, so anyone can w

they are part of the united states much like the virgin islands and american samoa and guam and other territories. so when we're talking about, it's not us and them. we're all americans. we all serve in the military. the folks of puerto rico pledge to our flag. they pay certain federal taxes. and so it's not something that the united states is going too get back or not. now, you are advocating, like many others have been advocating today, that they should be a state so that they're paying federal income tax on top of ity 97% of the folks in the last election agreed with you. but congress has yet to hear a bill about admitting them into statehood. and much different than other territories, they're 3.3 million people. all the other territories are half a million or smaller, so they're much smaller than states are. this island is bigger than more than a dozen states' populations, so we're talking about a lot of americans on this island including veterans who were born and raised on the mainland and chose to retire down there. >> host: representative darren soto from florida talking about

red shine when he said i'm authorizing the military to take down any missile headed towards hawaii, guam or the united states? >> if north korea actually attacked the united states, they would be met with fire and fury. we need to make sure north korea doesn't get capability to deliver a warhead to the united states. >> the timeline is getting so condensed. he has great people around him giving him the most of up-to-date advice. he may be realizing the multi lateral policy and diplomatic pressure. he will let it be known to the world. kim jong-un they say he's homicidal and not suicidal. kim jong-un needs to know he's risking his life, not just his power and regime. >> my sense is it's in our interest to do something preemptively. let's talk about iran and the talk he will decertify. if the president decertifies the iran deal which is part of what he ran on when he ran for president. what happens then. that forces you guys congress to take action, right? >> if the president decertifies, he should, instinctively he said he knows this is a bad deal. it was a bad deal for what was in the de

i think he was talking about the battle of guam. for others, it could be here he. i found out somehow, the average soldiers -- they found that somehow german reconnaissance patrol was going to be probing u.s. lines that night, and they sent orders down to the rifle company, if you see them, do not shoot these guys because we want to know what they are after. this guy remembered waking up in the middle of the night lying in a sleeping bag. there's a german soldier as close as i am to keep. this is what he remembered. said he got a quick look at a silhouette in the snow. that takes a leap of faith, too, to do nothing. you are just looking at the sky. you don't want him to know you're looking at him. that german patrol moved on. the guy remembered hearing and menacing crunch in the snow. sort of in the distance, they heard shooting. then everything silent. they found out the next day, what happened? we killed them all. no big deal. we killed all the skies. it could be here he like that. very adept at leaving people behind. the germans were better marksman, but still,

president, if you are listening to the tv, guam like puerto rico is part of the united states. it's bad enough trump is fighting with pyongyang, and kim jong-un. he is also trading barbs with till tillerson. joining me now is david from "the atlantic," and the author "tails from the pentagon," and a "washington post" columnist. and a power-packed panel. five folks here to talk with. i want to start with the castration comment. this is from the "washington post" on friday. as corker sees it the biggest problem is trump is neutering tillerson. this was rex tillerson this morning. he was on cnn and was asked about that particular quote and this is what he said. >> he said that the president has, quote, castrated you. >> i think this is an unconventional president and he uses unconventional communication tools. this is a place you know better than i, this is not a place that likes to change. >> you have a cattle ranch. you don't want anything to say a suggestion -- >> i want to throw this at you. >> too much information. >> the issue is whether or not the secretary of state speaks
