No winner in last nights Mega Millions. The powerball drawing tonight. Are you feeling lucky . Those stories plus the report card on the airlines that will surprise you. The man accused of groping tayl taylor swift takes the stands and the tributes pouring in for music legend glen campbell, today, august 9th, 2017. Announcer from nbc news, this is today with matt lauer and savannah guthrie, live from studio 1a on rockefeller plaza. Good morning. Were happy youre joining us. Lets get to the rapidly developing north korea crisis. Ominous threats being exchanged by the u. S. And north korean regime. North korea saying it is, quote, seriously reviewing plans to launch missile strikes on guam. That is a u. S. Territory and home to a Key Air Force base. So what was the timing of this . It followed a harsh warning hours earlier from President Trump that any further threats from kim jong un would be met with, quote, fire and fury like the world has never soon. The escalating war of words had an Immediate Impact on wall street and overnight major markets in asia and europe dropped as well. Our team is ready to break this all down starting with nbc chief Foreign Affairs correspondent andrea mitchell. It was a chilling response to thunderous words to President Trump after reports of an intelligence assessment that kim jong un was closer to having a Nuclear Weapon than thought. This morning, touching down in guam, the same territory threatened overnight by north korea. I have no concerns about this particular rhetoric of the last few days. I think the president , again, as commander in chief, i think he felt it necessary to issue a very strong statement directly to north korea. Reporter tillerson trying to sound reassuring just hours after President Trump fired off a stern warning to north korea to stop threatening the u. S. They will be met with fire, fury and frankly power, the likes of which this world has never seen before. Reporter drawing a red line just hours after reports of a Major Nuclear advance by north korea. Following President Trumps tough talk, north korea issued a threat of its owns are announcing in a statement it was carefully examining plans to attack the u. S. Territory of guam with medium to longrange ballistic missile. 6,000 american troops are stationed on the remote Pacific Island where the u. S. Operates a Critical Air Force base in the region. An official tells nbc news kim jong un may now have a miniature Nuclear Warhead, small enough to fit inside one of his longrange missiles, a missile that could reach the u. S. Mainland. It still has to survive reentry but experts say thats a matter of when, not if. President trump is strongly hinting at a preemptive strike, h. R. Mcmaster not ruling out nuclear war. And north korea could retaliate against 25 Million People in seoul, including had 100,000 americans and 28,000 u. S. Troops stationed there. The u. S. Has recently successfully tested missile defenses from the west coast, hitting a test missile over the pacific, but the system is not fool proof. Meanwhile the president s Strong Language is being criticized by laei leading lawmakers of both parties, Dianne Feinstein calling his statements bombastic and john mccain the great leaders ive seen, they doesnt threaten unless they are ready to act. Now this morning the president tweeting a more balanced message that the u. S. Nuclear arsenal is now far stronger and more powerful than ever before. He added hopefully we will never have to use that power but there will never be a time we are not the most powerful nation in the world. Back to you. Andrea mitchell, a scary story. Let me bring in Nicole Wallace and retired army colonel jack jacobs. Good to see you. Lets talk about the rhetoric and pick it up where andrea just left off. Is this the president giving kim jong un a taste of his own medicine, maybe his own vocabulary or is it going to make a bad situation worse . I think its irrelevant actually. When i first heard the remarks, i thought kim jong un had said those remarks. I think its just for consumption by each side and consumption in korea is it dangerous . Do the words matter in this context . Words usually do matter but the president has a tendency to be bombastic all the time and i think to the extent that this is about war, its really important, but to the extent that it really broadcasts what were going to do, its not. Lets not dismiss the words so quickly. We all remember shock and awe in iraq. Fire and fury as a military guide, jack, what do you read into fire and fury . Is this conventional weaponry or is he threatening Something Else . Well, the suggestion is were going to use Nuclear Weapons against north korea. Theres a qualitative difference between fire and fury using Nuclear Weapons and shock and awe using nonnuclear means. Its just to scare north korea and see what they do next. Nicole, when someone says Something Like what President Trump yesterday, he draws a line in the sand. Then the question is do our adversaries cross that line . Shortly after that north korea said theyre looking at plans to attack guam, which is a u. S. Territory. By the very fact that they said that, didnt they cross the line . Sure. And, listen, this president ran as someone who almost in like a seinfeld way was going to be the opposite of barack obama in every shape and form. He has now drawn a far more stark, far more inflammatory, a far more dangerous red line. And hes the kind of guy who would be sort of shamed into keeping up with his own words. So the language is so stunning because it contradicts all of the tradition of American Military history. You talk about shock and awe. Those were used after the military phase had begun. By the media, as a matter of fact. Those werent words used during military diplomacy and at the u. N. Security council. This a president that has now used language that he cant put back in the toothpaste tube. Theres a theory of the case that this is all by design, the president uses this hot rhetoric so the North Koreans that the president might be willing to use this force. Do you buy it . No, i think you have to convince the military establishment to go along with it. We have some pretty cool heads there. I thits going to be difficult to convince them to do things like reemti re reemptive attacks. Theyve gotten the attention of our allies and some people in congress. What do you expect to see over the next couple of days in terms of support on this issue . Any time the country goes to war, the president typically enjoys support because our military and people are in harm. On the day that he elevated the chances of that happening, he rebuked by no one currently serving in the military, but Barry Mccaffrey talked to us yesterday. The cooler heads are the secretary of defense, are the generals serving on his own staff and they all seem to believe this is language that will not be matched in the moment by military action. We will continue to watch, of course. Colonel jack jacobs, always good to get your perspective. Laz brealso breaking overnig apparent ambush in paris on soldiers. A man rammed his car into the group and they believe he did it intentionally. Keir, over to you.
