Trish President Trump heading back to washington at this hour after spending the day in texas, seeing some of the devastation caused by Hurricane Harvey, tomorrow. The president will shift focus on tax reform, going to springfield, missouri is give a speech at a manufacturing company. Joining me now to discuss is ed rollins. The dean himself. I think that president had a suburb day superb day, what he did was appropriate. Trish i didnt even get to ask a question. You are clearly impressed. I was, george w. Bush made a mistake with katrina not inter fearing, the president learned from that, and he gave the right message, show concern. He did not get in the way of anything, he will go back friday. Mrs. Trump, she got on plane, always appropriately dressed. She was. Idea making shots at her because she was wearing high heels. Trish they took shots at her and him, looking at a headline in Washington Post, even in visiting ravaged texas, trump keeps focus on himself, this is Washington Post. You see there is i dont know if you can ever impress some of these people, today was good. A very appropriate performance, not a person that saw him or this surrounding area that did not feel he was looking out for their interest. This the fourth largest city in country, largest city in south, 2. 3 Million People live in houston, 6. L 3 in metro poll timetropolitan area. This serious, weve not had a flood like this in modern times. Trish you are right, a contrast with what president did it and president bush and katrina, he waited too long, there were additional problem, it was hard to get the resources to the people, i am being there, and seeing fema trailers lined up, so many people could not get them. He is going backsaturday. But. What about implementation of distribution of resources to make sure that people who are struggling have what they need. General kelly, they learned lesson from president bush, it was not just his fault, the system did not work at that point. I think that they are prepared, he is making sure the appropriate things are being taken care of. It really takes military getting in there to make the stuff happen. The story of National Guard, adding thousands of troops to begi join them, it is a big undertaking, a big economic cost. Country, and sadly pay for it but at end of the day it people will be taken care of but it will be a long drawn out process. Trish one thing that troubles me, how people made it political, not just Washington Post but commentators say, you know, he is making this about himself, i thought, you know if there is one time, ed, we should not be political, this is a time like this. This is a crisis for those thousands of people, that are being dislocated, that have died, this is a time, as president this an opportunity to show leadership, that is not what it is about, this is a chance to do what is right. Absolutely, and i think, words of praise for texan today is very important, a great moment, it will continue to be. I think he now having seen, he will make sure, one thing he understands is building and rehabs and that stuff. I know that lou likes to ask you for a grade, give him a grade. A plus today.

Trish more bluster from north korea, kim jongun saying that north korea should conduct more missile tests into the pacific ocean, as President Trump condemned north koreas missile test over japan is aing, aljapan is aing, all options or table. What does that mean . To discuss that were joined by former u. S. Ambassador to u. N. , fox news cryp contributor john bolton. Time is so short, hard to see how any of them could work with north korea, weve negotiated with north korea for 25 years on this question. During which time north korea has repeatedly committed to giving up Nuclear Weapon program, and lied about it. My view, looking at history, there is no point in talking to north korea, they are happy to talk, it buys them time, they use to increase so physcasio so s so sophistication of the nuclear program. You should exhaust diplomatic options, but what north korea did, by firing this missile over japan, demonstrating it could hit japan. And hit guam which would be within the estimated range of this missile, is they have not back down one irky o irky on iota, we have to consider military option, not because we think it a great idea, not because we want to run risk today, but because we dont want to run the risk tomorrow of the innocent american civilian population held hostage by this rogue regime. Trish we cant allow them to have that opportunity. I hear you on that. And president made it clear. Were not going to allow them that opportunity. He is already said that however. And yet they did this. So, what should our response be in your view, given they are temps fate this a way that should not . Dont over estimate north koreas political sophistication in the United States they see barack obama one day and President Trump the other, they dont know much has changed. President should be ready on tuesday military option, it may get their attention, moving more assets closer to north korea, make it clear were getting ready if we have to, to take out his nuclear capability, we have to work with south korea and japan, south korea and a livefire exercise their time simulating bombing runs against the ar tilartillery that north korea has. A lot of that. Trish can i clarify something, you are taking about use military option, not going in to war. With north korea but rather, positioning ourselves so there are things we could do should we neem to d need to do them. Right, military option, from my perspective with north Korea Nuclear program, destroying the known nuclear facilities, the ones that weve identified in the past, destroying their Ballistic Missile bases, and submarine launch, it does not require a landin vague, it invatio invasion or iraq war, i would fair vor regime change if they out there was a way to do it. Trish i have talked about it before, you hate to see the potential for lives lost when it is this one person that were struggling with. If we were to find some way, some mechanism, to remove him from power, and put someone e else in that would seems to me, be the most logical choice, but perhaps the most impossible choice . Given how protected he is. I think it will is second best to reunification. The actor who has not acted is china. China supplies 90 of north korea oil, they could prip bridge the rejust a moment they could bring the regime down, they are afraid of regime collapse. I think our pitch to china on diplomatic side is we can do this easy way or hard way. If you force an american president to make a decision, seeing a missile headed who knows where, who wont risk is landing on the United States or an ally, and forced to use military force, much of that is chinas call, they need to think about that. Absolutely. There and i lot we can do, ambassador john bolton thank you so much. Glad to be with. Were coming right back. Stay with us much more ahead.
