Much can they ratchet this thing up. Ultimately, you have to ask this simple question, how far is kim jongun willing to go to put his people at incredible risk. Now, the administration you may have rememberted, may have heard yesterday, is touting this idea that china is onboard now. You heard the Central Banks there, the president said yesterday in his comments have told all member banks, stop doing business with pyongyang. The latest effort to put the financial squeeze on the renegade regime in the north. The question is this, will that be enough to get pyongyang to stop . At the very minimum alter its nuclear am pigses. The president tacked about this yesterday. So did his ambassador. Lets listen to both. President trump executive order, well cut off sources of revenue that fund north koreas effort to develop the deadliest weapons known to human kind. What this does is take it a step further. This says anyone that deals with north korea, any Financial Institution that deals with north kariya, is going to be punished. All of this is happening as north korea ratchets up the intensity. Kim jongun is saying well test a Hydrogen Bomb in International Waters over the pacific. Simply madness. Theres no other way to describe. This the president tweeting this, kim jongun of north korea, obviously a madman who doesnt mind starving or killing his people, will be tested like never before. So what does that mean . Well, that means what happens next. Clearly the u. S. Is going to, neil, continue its response preparation. I dont want to make too much of this, but i dont think you can. When we talk about response preparation were talking about military as well as diplomatic. No question that we are on the precipice of something that could be incredibly dangerous and life altering for millions. Well keep a close eye on it. We expect the president to talk about that in his comments about the the rally in alabama. Back to you, my friend. Neil thank you, be safe. Kevin cork with the president. We should point out, that what north koreas leader wants to do is test a Hydrogen Bomb over the pacific ocean. Now that could disturb a lot of electronics when that kind of thing happens. Unless the explosion is territoried and telegraphed to people first, theres a distinct possibility anyone within even miles of that test, their electronics could go down. Which includes planes that could go down. Hastens the need on get a headsup. This could be very provocative and itself could be an act of war. According to many. The read from former uss commander joining us on the phone. Commander, i mean obviously, kim jongun would have to let people know about this in advance unlike the other launches, this is something that could endanger planes and those traveling in and around the area. But he doesnt have a history of doing that. What do you think . Well, neil, i think what we are seeing is that gradual buildup where, in fact, President Trump is putting the world on notice that this is the end of the road. While Diplomatic Options exist in squeezing him with the executive order and the financial and other industries where if you do business with the permit kingdom you dont do business with the United States and they are countries in their penalties. Kim jongun, while he should give the world a headsup if he were to detonate that type of weapon in the atmosphere or on the ocean, clearly we are not going to have any indication that he will do that. And as you mention, while many may consider it an act of wary think the repercussions of doing that will speak very clearly. And then china is going to be on notice that they are going to need to do what many have advocated including myself for months no, china is going to have to engage to denuclearize that country. Neil i wonder if the message theyre getting from this rogue state is that they dont care what china chi thinks. Theyre not intim dated by china threatening to freeze all financial ties here. Im wondering if this has gone a little too far, even for the chinese, within hours of that agreement kim jongun is doing this, threatening this. He obviously doesnt care. What he threatens and what he does as usual will be two different things. If he carries through and does it, then clearly he is breaking a benchmark as far as that test goes. And at that point i think even russia and china are going to say were having nothing to do with this guy. Theyre going to stop breaking the sanctions, that the United Nations passed the other day. Neil in that event, i want to be clear, that is to your point very different than these prior launchings, this would be a very provocative act. Some said a war act. They would not be able to take that in stride, the chinese particularly, maybe even the russians to your point bhachlt did they do, join the grow groing list of sanction countries or what . I think you would see swift and immediate con tell days and action condemnation by the world community, the u. N. Or the coalitions, that is built in coordination with china and russia, that we would completely isolate that nation from anything going in and out. It will be terrible and that the people of north korea will suffer. But we have to make it clear to the kim jongun regime, if you conduct that test you will probably not be able to stay in power. Thats always been a viable option. But you conduct this test that goes a step farther than anything the world is willing to tolerate. Detonating a Nuclear Weapon is an order of magnitude offense against the world by doing that. I think at that point whatever sympathy he may have from the world would be disappear and be gone. Neil all bets would be off. Kurt lippold, commander, thank you. Asian markets were down appreciably. In this country the markets didnt move much. Defense stocks racing ahead. This happens all the time, whether you like the rationale behind it or not. Anything that has anything to do with building weapons or launching them looking good. Anything that has to do with regions of the world that could be hurt by them, not looking good. More after this. People would ask me in Different Countries that we traveled, what is your nationality and i would always answer hispanic. So when i got my ancestry dna results it was a shocker. Im everything.

Neil all right, look at this incredible rescue in theca libyan caught on tape. British helicopter crew snatching a mom and her two sons from the sea. Their boat capsizing with massive waves whipped up by maria. Thats what has been a preview of coming attractions to help those still in harms way. Were in san juan, puerto rico with the latest. What a mess. They have carried out 4,000 rescues across the island. We saw the electrical grid, the infrastructure crumble from 150mileanhour winds. Now we hear more horrible reports about other infrastructure destroyed. A dam, a major dam, in the far northwest of the island s. It has collapsed. They were evacuating two towns in buses, while that dam was collapsing. Authorities were warning people to get to higher ground. They were fleeing as quickly as they can. Still no reports on the damage there or any possible casualties. We saw the electric system go out across the island. Some dams beginning to collapse here. Aid is coming, we have seen planes behind us land, private carriers as well as u. S. Government aid plains. Help is beginning to get here. The coast guard has a big presence, with cutters and helicopters rescuing people. When you go out on the street and into peoples houses it is clear, they are on their own. The government told them you have to hold out for 72 hours. They are trying to do that. Living out on the streets, cooking on the street, washing on the streets, waiting and hoping that help comes soon. Back to you, neil. Neil incredible. Brock long, the fema director, fema headquarters. You said it would be a long ordeal and the worse would the come after the fact. This is proving it. What is the latest you can tell us . Well, i just got off the phone with the governor a little bit ago and were continuing to meet his goals of search and rescue, pushing forward. A large amount of commodities in the forms of meals, water. We also have multiple emergency generators, different capabilities being placed in different areas to bring up critical instructor infrastructure such as hospital. Were in lifesaving, rescue mode, then well push into the life su statement mode in the next 72 hours. Neil complicating things in puerto rico, you touched on it with the generators and all of that, the fact the power could be out for some time. When i hear the government talking about months, is that true . Its hard to estimate. Were still trying to obtain Situational Awareness as to the level of damage. Its been tough to do because of Communications Capabilities beak knocked out. As the information comes in, well be able to reassess and put together a plan. But fema is largely only responsible for the emergency power push, to making sure that hospitals and critical facilities are back online. The greater rebuild of the power structure will be turned over to basically puerto rico, the western power authority, in partnership with department of energy partners. Theres going to be a lot of work to repair and hopefully when its repaired its done at a higher, resilient manner. Neil no one is denying your resilient manner and the federal force. I have to wonder, administrator, giving the fact that the storms sick around, maria is still a threat out there, how do you allocate your resources in an environment like this . Weve been fortunate that harvey and irma, the timing of harvey and irma allowed us to regroup, allowed our search and rescue teams, restock commodities, allowed search and rescue teams to regroup to deploy them. Not only to the u. S. Virgin islands and puerto rico, but also on behalf of the white house we sent search and rescue units to mexico to help out with search and rescue on the earthquake side. Neil im curious, administrator, i was talking to a number of senators and congressmen back and forth on whats happening in their districts, in this case the governor of puerto rico as well. Whether fema or the federal government should have more emergency money set aside . Im often remindted it doesnt matter whether the money is there, the help is there and the money comes later. Do you think given the severity of this hurricane season, even though its the most severe weve seen in a dozen years, we should have a pool of capital readily available just in case . We do through the Disaster Relief fund. The question is whether or not the disster relief funneled is adequate based on what weve seen. After this event im sure there is going to be numerous after action reporting processes that take place across the federal government. We have constant communication with our congressional partners. The congress and update them on a regular basis about cashflow and different things. Our ability to do the job. I have not once feared that we would have the ability to push forward and dot life Safety ResponseMission Going forward. The communications are excellent and the congress is supportive. Neil many are coming to look at places like florida, houston, with the flood, theyre not covered, homeowners are not covered for flood and the type of things that happened here. What role does fema have in that event . I mean, if they didnt get the insurance or it didnt address the areas they were in, they didnt think they needed insurance. What is the role of fema . Well, we have established for example in harvey, recoverry command. Weve been working closely with Governor Abbott in texas to create innovative programs to help understand what the state of texas is entitled to. Not just fema but sba, hud, how can we implement our recovery programs and the dollars to best help the unique situation in texas. Were working with Governor Abbott around the clock to do that and to help people out. And no disaster is the same. The way we attack texas, you know, could be slightly altered. And florida, ball games of the situation being a lot different. Texas was a frustrating flood. Florida was basically a run of the mill category 4 hit that destroyed by storm surge and the water reseeded and came back. Receded. Each recovery approach has to be tailored to meet the governors de mapped. What im really demands. What im proud of about texas, Governor Abbott has stepped up to the plate, owning recoverry, we are there to support him. Were pushing forward. Its still going to be a long, drawnout process. We cant just flip a switch and put routine back together in the communities that were impacted. Neil brock long, thank you very, very much, fema administrator joining us from fema headquarters.
