Big question for the world tonight. Thanks for joining us. You can watch us any time, anywhere on cnn go. Have a good weekend. See you monday. Ac 360 begins right now. Good evening. We begin with more startling headlines from President Trump. In just a last four days, hes threatened north korea with fire and fury, said maybe that wasnt enough of a threat. Said American Forces are Locked And Loaded and late today he said even more. Appearing this morning outside his new jersey golf club, the president went before reporters. When he was over, he raised the possibility of u. S. Military action in venezuela and renews his warnings to north korea. Nobody loves a peaceful solution better than President Trump, that i can tell you. Hopefully it will all work out. But this has been going on for many years. It would have been a lot easier to solve this years ago before they were in the position that theyre in. But we will see what happens. We think that lots of good things could happen, and we

essentially twice. first time forcing government back to work and second time saying, forcing a situation where the president is signing a bill he didn t want to sign. the democrats are saying, look, you can do whatever you want to do in terms of making this emergency order, the voters are not behind it, and there is division within the gop. so they want to exploit that. rightfully so. rick, is your party behind it? the republican party behind it? republicans in the house and senate i spoke to thursday and friday were in the same box they re always in. oh, god. i ve got to go work with this stupid emergency action. now here we go. a long lichte of republican senators, this is a mistake, a bad idea? like lindsey graham. a conservative red state in 2020. they re going to toe the line with donald trump all the way down. many of them are deeply concerned. many of the conservatives are deeply concerned this sets a terrible precedent for the future and ends up letting a future democr
shake up the georgia s governor s race. with less than two weeks to go before the republican primary runoff for georgia governor, one candidate released a secret recording of the other candidate, seemingly bad mouthing the primary s sharp turn to the right. never get caught attacking the voters. here s a part of that clip of the state s lieutenant governor, casey cagle. this primary felt like it was who had the biggest gun, who had the biggest truck and who could be the craziest. right? that s what it felt like. his campaign says the conversation was private and he is being taken out of context. this isn t the first time cagle has been stung from a recording of this same conversation, by the way. another chunk released last month showed him acknowledging he pushed a bill he didn t like in order to undermine another political rival. he accused secretary of state brian kemp his opponent in the governor s race who released the tape of taking part in dirty
