pompeo and anthony blinken talk about kissenger in one word, and that's a huge tragedy of the americanl elite, it must be said right away, the misunderstanding of this role, i do not want to say that kytsend was some kind of devil, but it seems to me that infatuation with evil is the most dangerous thing. what can be in politics at all, and another very important point that i always think about is that kissinger liked that he was very quick to grasp the moment. well, that is, he was the first to understand what they did not have time to understand. ugh, this is the quality of the european mind, if you will, there is a person who knew europe better than his american colleagues, madeline albert also, thanks to her european experience, realized the change of processes faster than people who grew up in america, antony blinke is like that, as you can see, he also has roots from the european continent, just kissinger knew the west better. madeline norbert is the center and anthony blinken is the east , these are different things, and this is the center of the east of europe, i mean, and here

whoever thinks otherwise cannot be a part of this establishment, that is why mike pompeo and antony blinken in one word, and this is a huge tragedy of the american political elite, it must be said right away, the misunderstanding of this role, i do not want to say that kissinger was some kind of devil, but it seems to me that admiration is evil, it the most dangerous thing that can happen in politics at all, and another very important point that i always think about, is that kissinger liked the fact that he was very quick to grasp the moment, that is, he was the first to understand what they did not have time to understand , ugh, this is the quality of the european mind, if you will, a person who knew europe better than his american colleagues, madeline olber also, thanks to his european experience, was aware of the change of processes faster than people who grew up in america, anthony blinke. as you can see, because he also has roots from the european continent, simply, simply , kissinger knew better from the west, madeline orbert the center, and antony blinken - the east, these are differ

again the trump administration mike pompeo went down there he had a definite goal.ou will partner with the u.s. and help us protect our borders. if you don't you will see increases in tariffs, decreases in aid and there will be a plan put forward. they went down there for nothing more than a photo op. exactly what they got. they got schooled by the mexican leadership and mexican president. we were down there a few months ago from ways and means and met with president obrador and came back with a message. this is a person who has no interest in working for the u.s. he is allowing as many of illegal immigrants to go to his country and fine with the number of mexican cartels that are doing human trafficking, drug trafficking, child trafficking into our country. he has no problem with that. this was a message we sent out month ago. they didn't have a plan or strategy. they went down there for a photo op. >> julie: governor abbott is tearing into the mayors of new york city, denver and chicago and they are complaining seeing a tiny fraction of what border communities see

pence, and mike pompeo prevented him from doing it. none of those people will be in the white house or anywhere near the white house in trump's second term. all of them have criticized him since 2020. he will not rehire them. instead, he will have a cohort of officials who are either people who don't care about nato, and don't care about america's alliances around the world or are actively hostile to them. and so we will see a very different set of policies. remember, what's really important about nato, tit's not just a treaty. it's a treaty that says everybody who signed it should come to the defense of anyone who's attacked. why don't the russians attack poland, given that so much aid for ukraine is coming through poland. the reason they don't do it is because they think the u.s. would respond. once they don't believe the u.s. will respond, then why not do it. >> and your point about article v, when was that invoked, for america, by the way, post 9/11. that explicit remarkable quote from trump that you start your piece out, i don't g

there were attempts to assassinate mike pompeo, former secretary of state and former leaders of the trump administration. they haven't been able to carry anything out. now, you have an assassination of a leader in syria, that israel has neither confirmed nor deni denied. that leader in syria is in charge of arming hezbollah and sending missiles to hezbollah. that might be why iran came out and said, this is revenge of soleimani's death. and maybe they need to make up for it. first, hamas is denying that. we already knew that this was not an attack that was deeply executed by iran. their support of hamas made the attack possible. but iran is not the one that made this happen. >> before we let you guys go, what we've seen in ukraine, a different war. but no less complicated in the moment in time. particularly as u.s. -- the u.s. congress has left without being able to approve more aid for ukraine. what does that tell you the scale of the russian attacks overnight that we saw in ukraine? >> i think what you're seeing russia do is to set the groundwork for what they're going to do during what

he would no longer have people like mike pompeo, like general kelly, general mattis, who he had previouslyfor much of the first 3 1/2 years, i think that donald trump was surrounded by strong advisers who i think helped to guide our country and enact policies on tax reform, enact foreign policy, enact supreme court confirmations of true conservatives that i think has made conservatives very proud. the last nine months in many ways i think, it changed course. i think many of the people had left the administration. i think what we ended up with on january 6 in some ways was a reflection of not having the same voice of conservatives around him that he had had for the first 3 1/2 years. i think that is more representative of what perhaps a second term could look like. >> that's what is concerning people, the last nine months is more representative of what the next term would look like. liz cheney spoke about a january 6 phone call in which trump lawyers were briefing surrogates about plans for january 6. they suggest the former vice president could refuse to count the elector votes. she learne

. >> form secretary of state mike pompeo's is a biden administration needs to send a clear message to iran. >> you can't be afraid of your own shadow you have to be clear about your redlines and enforce them this administration is routinely probably all across the world failed to do that and certainly made americans less safe, we've seen what they've done to israel and we know the gulf states are less safe as well. >> currently supply chains could be affected as it takes months longer to go around the gape of good hope if you trying to avoid the red sea. neil: edward at the white house, in the meantime the reaction to all of this with the u.s. air force general and retired, always good to have you on, what's interesting looking at these companies that have opted to get out of the whole area of the red sea, they did so even with the promise that were eventually going to have a task force protecting ships in the area, i don't know if that's a sign of any of them don't believe it or if any of them did don't know if it's worth it, what did you make of it. >> even if there is a task force

you write about the fact mike pompeo, steve mnuchin, betsy duvaus discussed the 25th amendment regarding trump, that mitch mcconnell spearheaded a move to ban trump from the inauguration. he threatened to run as an independent third party candidate and had to be threatened by the rnc not to do it. but the 25th amendment piece stands out to me. as your reporting would suggest, is donald trump fully there mentally? >> well, i can't really make that judgment, but what i can tell you is people have raised questions about whether he's fully there mentally have been the people closest to him. the people that have raised the alarms about what it would be if he came back are the people who are closest to him. and yes, in those hours after the january 6th attack, as they watched what he did and what he didn't do, while the united states capitol was under assault by his own supporters, it was the people that were closest to him that were talking about whether or not they needed to remove him from office because he was mentally unstable, mentally unable to carry out the duties of the president. tha

mike pompeo, has poor, discussing a danger. for some reason i don't understand why it's resonating.'t understand. it'll be interesting how this kind of plays out. >> it seems like it is resonating, but in the direction of doubling down. we'll talk more about -- if you think about how this all looks and why, laura, to mike's point, trump is a very effective communicator at ensuring that everyone that is not him is viewed with skepticism, as somebody who can be met with a derision and is less than. if he has created the hierarchy where, what he says is more important, then it stands to reason, one would look at those comments in the greater believe then the others? >> yeah, they believe him over the former chiefs of staff, over former into ministration officials, over the press. it is interesting because there is some of this ambiguous, we don't trust the process. there is a reason that they're low trust in the press among republican base, because their leader, because the leader of the republican party has, for years now, since he first started running for the presidency back in 2015

pompeo, joined the board of directors of kiev.in this way they strive to demonstrate their commitment to the revival and restoration of ukraine. and here the strongest hacker attack is the collapse of the internal infrastructure. strange coincidence. is it true? zelensky arrived in washington at a critical moment both on the battlefield and on capital hill, the new york times reports. the newspaper writes that the united states and ukraine are looking for a new strategy after unsuccessful counter-offensive in order to begin the revival of kiev's prosperity next year. but first we need to win. to do this , three-star generals will be sent to ukraine, who will spend significant time on the ground, as reported. the americans insist. to conservative strategies aimed at preserving the territories that ukraine still has. we need to accumulate strength, for this we will have to dig in. an american construction company from arizona, who would doubt it, will help with this. she's in the new this year he will begin strengthening the ukraini

as you look at this, you had mike pompeo call out the cancellation that he got. we remember riley gains being shouted down when she tried to speak at a university. they yelled at her. we have a clip of that to look at here. watch this. [chanting]. >> martha: you look at these examples, you know, god forbid if someone is called fat on harvard, the policy is clear on what will happen to that person. where are we here, marc? >> i'll give you a perfect example. earlier this year, the harvard women's hockey coach, katie stone, a friend of mine, was forced out because during a talk in the locker room she told the players that this team has too many chiefs and not enough indians. there was a native american first nation's player and felt unsafe because she made that comment, which is not in any way a bigoted comment. she's forced out. the president of harvard goes to capitol hill and says that it depends on the circumstances of whether they're calling for the genocide of the jewish people is offensive. she keeps her job. the hockey coach says something innocuous and she

former secretary of state mike pompeo has his take. >> my sense here is that the reason they didn't want to disclose this wasn't for intelligence collection. their first story is this, this wasn't even spying on the united states. it was just a lost weather balloon. then the story was this happened in the trump administration, the story keeps varying. my guess they made the decision not to share with the american people out of embarrassment they permitted this very dangerous activity to take place over the american homeland. that's never a reason not to share information with the american people. >> rich: the u.s. military shot it down after it floated over military bases across the united states. allies of nafsh alley say they know where he is. he was reported missing two weeks ago. he seems to be doing well in a siberian prison. as well as you can be there. he is an outspoken critic of vladimir putin. navalny unsuccessfully tried to run for the country's president in 2018 and he was banned from the race as they often do with oppositions. >> claudia: new york city is asking a judge to d

that's what we had under president donald trump and secretary mike pompeo when i worked with them.ence that in 2019 the same thing happened which we saw happen over the last 24 hours. which is iran back to she of militia. we do believe that is who is responsible for the attack in the last 24 hours. back in 2019, almost 2020 in the days leading into 202020 iranian backed militias were attacking the u.s. embassy. we gave the irani ends very clear redlines and said your proxy interrupts the holding them accountable for attacks on our embassy and attacks on our service members, the american people, our diplomats. we did so by responding a few days later and taking out solo money, at the time the world's largest terrorist. that's the only type of thing the irani and regime understands. biden didn't think they were escalating. they think they are trying to keep a lid on a boiling pot in the region. they are only inviting more attacks and making our troops, our men and women both in hardened facilities and on ships, making our men and women sitting ducks for these attacks from hamas, and

mike pompeo and will cain, "the faulkner focus" top of the hour. >> dana: west coast cities are puttingofficials reducing shaft lifting numbers to pre-pandemic levels. can they spread nationally? is there good news in the future, dan? >> yeah, they definitely can. seattle and san francisco are both attacking this problem in different ways but both are showing positive results this year. as you know, both were poster children for retail crime theft. retailers complained that defunded police departments were overwhelmed by all kinds of crime and they were a low priority. in seattle a big response was a big jump in the number of private security guards. downtown target has three armed security guards. many retailers have followed suit with armed and unarmed guards. the downtown seattle association is spending $2 million a year on private security. >> our businesses big and small should never have been put in this position but the policies of the last couple of years in certain cities to reduce the police force and to stop addressing some of these crimes have put companies and businesses in

joining me now mike pompeo, former secretary of state under president trump. mr.ry, anyone banned from one of these elite institutions is okay by me. but, they say that you couldn't -- you wouldn't be -- you weren't speaking because of covid. but you say it was something else. >> well, laura, it's great to be with you. i know exactly what it was. i prepared remarks some b. exactly the topic we are speaking about. the chinese communist party influence in american academia. research money that at least the theft of intellectual property. hardworking americans lose. chinese students on campus feeding information back to the chinese communist party. all of the donor money that goes to win friends and influence people on campuses. i was going to give a speech. i was the secretary of state. we decided that mit was the best place to give that speech and a handful of weeks out before the remarks i was told i was no longer welcome there. i had to go down a pretty long list. ultimately gave the speech at georgia tech. go wrap bling rec and can you see it. it was not about m

mike pompeo closed down the houston embassy because of the surveillance and the theft of all of this.3 memorandum of understanding when president biden was vice president. he allowed, signed that mou, allowing thousands of chinese companies to trade on u.s. exchanges but not follow s.e.c. rules. they don't follow the auditing rules that other american public companies follow. do you have evidence that he's actually made changes with regard to china policy as a result of taking the millions of dollars that you've told us that he's taken? >> i think if you look at the time line of when it happened then you can draw a conclusion that that's what occurred there. we have to do more than draw the conclusion to get an impeachment on that and so we have to actually prove it and so it's going to to be a matter of jim and jamie and the others on the committee actually pointing to when the money flowed to the biden administration and when the policy decisions were made. now, they won't necessarily be the money flowing one day and the decision being made the next but as we're able to i believe sh

former secretary of state mike pompeo believes the president needs to send a strong message to iran toet all the proxies to back off you. >> can't be afraid of your own shadow. you have to be clear about your red lines and you have to enforce them this administration routinely, broadly all across the world failed to do that and they certainly made americans less safe. we seen what they have done to israel. we know the gulf arab states are less safe as well. reporter: the biden administration has been reluctant to get more aggressive with proxies, iranian proxies specifically. also the houthis as also iran itself. larry? larry: edward lawrence thank you very, very much. just a couple of words from me. there are 28 days until the iowa caucuses vote on february 15th. 28 days, less than a month. latest poll from cbs news ugov, former president donald trump 58% of likely iowa republican caucus-goers. that puts him 36 points ahead of governor desantis who is at 22 and 45 points ahead of former governor nikki haley who scores 13. interestingly the "realclearpolitics" polling average shows mr.

former secretary of state mike pompeo believes the administration needs less talk and more direct actionies off. back to you. david: edward, thank you very much for that. joining me now is the great larry kudlow who was interviewing senator tuberville yesterday. he's always, he always hits the point, hits the nail on the head in terms -- in my opinion, ab what he's saying. it's quite clear. we dropped our sanctions, we were not applying the sanctions to iran that we used to during the trump administration. because of that, they have tens of billions of extra dollars, and they're using it to fund terrorists. therefore, in a way, we're kind of funding the terrorists, right? if. >> yeah. no, i think you could say almost directly. we've been a paper tiger with respect to iran and the various terrorist proxies the that iran finances. by the way, we've been a paper tiger on china. don't forget, david, china is buying the oil from iran. david: right. >> they're also buying oil from russia. so china is financing two wars against the united states. it's a terrible situation. i mean, the good news

show and nothing to do with the debate last night, now that you mention it, charlie, i want to throw mike pompeo's name into the vice presidential mix because he's a brilliant guy and very loyal to donald trump and that amounts to something in that game. sandra, the bottom, bottom line and i want to come back to red versus blue. >> sure. larry: states that tax less, regulate less will grow more. i think that states that spend less will grow more. and will attract. >> what is the definition -- i pulled this up for you. the state budget, california. they're running a 31.5 billion deficit. ron desantis should have held up the $17.7 billion surplus. larry: yes, it's really -- like we had the thing in new york versus florida. florida has more people, okay, than new york, passed them years ago, and florida's budget is half the size of new york's. >> is works. larry: you see it again with california. charlie hurt, political editor of the washington times. i did lose him? no, he's there. charlie hurt, any impact on the republican nomination in your opinion from last night's performance of desanti
