locations and it was recently acquired by sentinel capital partners. that's an american success. great story, great show, scottie see you soon. go have fun at huddle house. and at home keep watching lou dobbs is next. thanks a lot. lou: good evening, everybody. i'm lou dobbs. breaking news tonight -- we're just learning of a new cyberattack against the u.s. government. the second such attack to be revealed over the past week. u.s. officials say hackers, quote, linked to china end quote carried out this cyberattack and stole extensive sensitive background information from government personnel servers that had been submitted by intelligence and military personnel seek security clearances. the stolen data includes social security numbers lists of contacts relatives deeply personal information about mental health drug and alcohol
7:01 pm
use past arrests and bankruptcies, it appears every part of the u.s. government has been affected and remains vulnerable to such attacks tonight. news of this latest attack comes only days after the office personnel management announced records of four million current and former employees of the government had been stolen. now investigators have revised that estimate of the number of americans whose personal data and private information has been stolen. government investigators now estimating these cyberattacks of the government office of personnel management have resulted in the exposure of the records of as many as 14 million people. 14 million people who are only now learning of this massive breach of our government servers and files. we take up the impact of the chinese cyberattacks and thefts and the obama administration's
7:02 pm
failure to respond and defend that information. we'll be talking with former direct offer national intelligence and ambassador john negroponte. also tonight president obama suffered a major defeat on capitol hill, and the blow was not delivered by the votes of republicans but rather the democrats. the president's own. members of both parties voting to kill a program to give financial assistance to workers who lose their jobs as a result of so-called free trade deals like this one. by doing so they brought down the president's entire trade agenda and legislation that would have given the president the power to negotiate trade deals that can't be altered by congress. but there's far more to this story than the defeat of the trade bill. the behind-the-scenes schemes the manipulation and deceit that are the hallmarks of today's washington, d.c. we'll have a full report for and you a comment or two
7:03 pm
tonight. and the "new york times" finally awakening to the devastating effects of the left wing war on law enforcement. the liberal newspaper publishing a piece acknowledging that baltimore police are reluctant to do their jobs now, for fear they'll be prosecuted for actions they take while in the performance of their duty to protect and serve the public. as a result, murders have risen to 40-year high levels in many cities across the country as we've been reporting here on this broadcast. and our special guest tonight political commentator, best-selling author ann coulter has a brand-new book the title of her newest blockbuster is "adios america" no one brings better analysis to the biggest issues of the day and no one will make you laugh harder about it all. we begin with the bipartisan blow to the trade agenda and perhaps his legacy. a spectacular day and defeat
7:04 pm
considering the president rarely gives lawmakers a hard sell. but that's just what the president did and it didn't work. fox news chief congressional correspondent mike emanuel live on capitol hill with our report. >> reporter: 140 house democrats voted against their party's president on providing assistance money to folks who lose their jobs due to trade. a last-minute face-to-face appeal from president obama was clearly not enough. >> i don't think you ever nail anything down around here. >> reporter: yet some democrats didn't appreciate the president's pitch. >> basically the president tried to both guilt people and impugn their integrity. i don't think it was a very effective tactic. >> i wasn't sent here to accommodate somebody else's agenda, i was here to represent the people where i come from. >> reporter: other democrats said they were trying prevent a disaster for american workers. >> america should not have to
7:05 pm
compete with wages and environmental destruction. >> everybody can't be like us we understand that. we're not against trade, we want it to be fair and want the american worker to be protected. that's what this is all about. >> reporter: in a sign of how unusual this debate has been house speaker john boehner also urged his colleagues to pass trade promotion authority for the good of the economy and country, and this appeal to skeptical conservatives. >> we want to make darn sure there is less authority for the president and more authority for the american people. that's what this bill does. it's a means to an end and the end is more free trade that's good for our economy and good for our country. >> reporter: with some conservatives calling the package obama trade ways and means chairman paul ryan responded. >> understand a lot of our members especially on our side of the aisle don't trust this administration. join the club neither do i. that is precisely why i support this bill. tpa puts congress in the seat.
7:06 pm
>> reporter: in order to get to trade promotion authority with presidential hopeful hillary clinton staying out of the debate, nancy pelosi assumed the role of the most powerful female voice and rejected mr. obama. >> today we have an opportunity to slow down, we all know we want to engage in trade promotion and the rest of that but we have to slow down. it is not, whatever the deal is with other countries we a better deal for america's workers. >> reporter: even though trade assistance failed overwhelmingly, the house majority leader forced a symbolic vote on trade promotion. >> members are advised we are proceeding to votes on the remaining two motions. >> yeah! >> reporter: with republicans demonstrating they have the votes to move forward on trade, ryan says the white house must now do more to win over democrats. >> now the president has some work yet to do with his party to complete this process this isn't over yet, and we hope that they can get together and make sure that we finish this
7:07 pm
so that america is back leading. >> reporter: with 302 total no votes on the trade assistance packages turning that around between now and tuesday would take a miracle or change of heart. lou? lou: neither in prospect, i assume tonight, right, mike? >> people sticking to guns on the democratic side. president was up here making a face-to-face pitch. a rare thing on capitol hill, and 140 democrats said absolutely not to something they typically support which is money for workers who lose their jobs. lou: is there any sense among the republican leadership, of the absolute disastrous contradiction that they're posing by voting on a bill for trade assistance because of the jobs that will be lost as a result of this bill, while ryan and boehner and mccarthy are out talking about all the good
7:08 pm
things that will happen to the economy. they looked absolutely buffoonish! >> that's interesting analysis on your part and bottom line they feel like they want a pro-growth pro-trade agenda. they feel trade is going to happen, americans should be at the table and help set the rules and not let beijing set the rules, and the only way to get it across the finish line is give the democrats some trade assistance money, but even that didn't work. lou: it's a tough day for the republican leadership, i suppose they're spending it as well as they can as is the white house. the fact of the matter is if i may say mike, in watching this it may be certainly a defeat for the president, it may be transitory however we'll wait to see how the manipulation goes from here. mike, as always great reporting throughout the day. quite a story. thanks so much appreciate it. russian jets harassing american forces and international waters.
7:09 pm
this time a russian jet fighter came within ten feet of a u.s. reconnaissance plane over the black sea. it happened on may 30th but is now being disclosed by the pentagon. this is at least the third recent encounter of this kind between russian fighter aircraft and american jets and warships in the area. a week ago, the navy released this video of two russian fighters flying at high speed and low altitude over u.s. and nato naval ships. the ships now conducting routine military exercises in the baltic sea. also earlier this month a russian jet fighter flew right past the guided missile destroyer, u.s. ross this kind of stepped up russian provocation hasn't been seen since the cold war. joining me now to discuss the obama administration's lack of response to these provocations to russian aggression the massive cyberattacks on our federal
7:10 pm
government and perhaps more, former director of national intelligence, five-time ambassador john negroponte. ambassador good to have you with us tonight. >> thank you. lou: let's start with the cyberattacks. two. the largest in this country's history. 14 million people. their personal data. their private information exposed, and with it perhaps significant the creation of a significant vulnerability on the part of the u.s. government. your thoughts. >> well i think this is something that's almost of emergency proportions, it seems to me when you start losing control of information on that scale, and it's got me tonging, how did we used to do it? we did it on pieces of paper and with files and didn't reproduce gazzilions of copies of things, and maybe at least for the most sensitive positions in our government until we can stem these leaks so to speak, we may have to go
7:11 pm
back to some of the old ways of doing thing, particularly for the highly sensitive jobs. who wants to have the personal information of all these people in the top secret positions around the government spread around the world? lou: spread around the world but obviously movering directly to china. the government finally acknowledging it is china. it is a government and an administration that has been reluctant to be specific in placing blame and responsibility for these attacks. this administration, the president famously saying that the chinese don't need to use those sharp elbows, going to be a big powerful country someday in his customarily condescending manner. we have reached a point if this is not an act of war, i don't know what an act of war would look like in cyberspace. >> until you resolve the question of attribution, and i think you are probably right in your speculation, you still
7:12 pm
have to take defensive measures, and we don't seem to be able to do that either. i'm not sure i would lay that entirely at the president's doorstep. it seems to be some kind of deficiency in our internal control system, but another point i'd make is if you approach now to recruit for a job in the government, and you knew this is what happens to your personal information, how big an appetite would you have for providing the government with the kind of information they're asking you for? this thing cuts in all sorts of different directions but defensive measures have got to be taken first, it seems to me. lou: i would agree it's a bit like the defensive measure of closing that barn door after the horses have left the barn. it also seems to me, and the reality is if we had the capacity to defend this information and protect this information and secure our servers and our digital assets we would have done so one
7:13 pm
would think, and the fact that we have not responded suggests either, and i'm not criticizing the president on ideological or partisan grounds i'm talking about commander in chief, completely consumed with passivity and indecision in terms of formulating a response and carrying one out, if anything cries out for a response these cyberattacks i think we would agree mr. ambassador, requires such a response. >> looking back at the corporal manning and the edward snowden attacks the question of the leaking of the cables and wikileaks and things like that the other thing that really strikes you is why is it information about so many people or so many communications can be found in one place? it seems to me again this has to do with internal controls. why would you keep all 14 million of these files in a way that is so easily accessible at one fell swoop. ditto with diplomatic communications has happened
7:14 pm
with wikileaks. it doesn't seem like we've made much progress in the last couple of years in spite of the threats out there. i said this earlier i think this is almost an emergency situation from the point of view of guarding the most highly sensitive information in our government. lou: and you and i both know, and i think the audience knows very well that this is what we're learning and it's come out in drips and drabs over the course of the two attacks have come out in the last week, there's much that we probably still don't know and much of it will be more disheartening than this, and i will close with saying, i don't believe anyone could have said it any better or any more accurately. if this is not an emergency, what in the world would rise to the level of an emergency are in government? ambassador always good to have you with us appreciate it. >> thank you.
7:15 pm
lou: ambassador john negroponte. back with much more after this. stay with us. an naacp chapter president who has just one problem she claims to be african-american. her parent says no way. we'll have her story next. if you want to sell a fancy new jetliner just do this sort of thing getting ready for the 2015 paris airshow. it's quite a ride.
7:16 pm
the pursuit of healthier. it begins from the second we're born. after all, healthier doesn't happen all by itself. it needs to be earned... every day... using wellness to keep away illness... and believing that a single life can be made better by millions of others. healthier takes somebody who can power modern health care... by connecting every single part of it. for as the world keeps on searching for healthier... we're here to make healthier happen. optum. healthier is here. new york state is reinventing how we do business by leading the way on tax cuts. we cut the rates on personal income taxes. we enacted the lowest corporate tax rate since 1968. we eliminated the income tax on manufacturers altogether. with startup-ny, qualified businesses that start, expand or relocate to new york state pay no taxes for 10 years. all to grow our economy and create jobs. see how new york can give your business the opportunity to grow
7:18 pm
just because i'm away from my desk doesn't mean i'm not working. comcast business understands that. their wifi isn't just fast near the router. it's fast in the break room. fast in the conference room. fast in tom's office. fast in other tom's office. fast in the foyer [pronounced foy-yer] or is it foyer [pronounced foy-yay]? fast in the hallway. i feel like i've been here before. switch now and get the fastest wifi
7:19 pm
everywhere. comcast business. built for business. . lou: the head of the naacp chapter in spokane, washington is under considerable fire for claiming she's black when apparently she's not. that's frowned upon. rachel dolezal has identified herself publicly as african-american for years. but her white biological parents have come forward to set the record straight. the family's ancestry is czech, swedish and german. city officials are investigating whether dolezal liedoon application which she claimed she was black, white, and american indian and it turns out she went to howard university on an african-american scholarship, so things do get complicated here. joining us political commentator, syndicated
7:20 pm
columnist author of the new book "adios, america" hit "new york times" list for first week out. great to have you here. this is your best book ever. >> thank you, i agree! [ laughter ]. lou: i am delighted to hear that. i have to tell you, no one is funnier all i could think of is i want everyone to read this book, and the title "adios america" says exactly what it's about but the fact is the illegal immigrants should not read the book i think they will self-deport after they read this. >> yes, yes, they will! >> let's turn to one of my favorite headings here i don't know how i could have forgotten. >> headless body. lou: headless body and found in borderless country, and it keeps getting better, folks three beheadings in the arizona
7:21 pm
desert, governor jan brewer made fun of and the heads began to roll. >> yes, yes, within three months, jan brewer, the governor of arizona said well, you know, we're finding body parts in the arizona desert and "washington post," msnbc smearing, ha-ha she's crazy no dismemberments. within three months there was a mexican dismemberment in the arizona desert, soon after that, one north of that. a woman beheaded definitely the one in arizona was done by mexicans, another state a woman was beheaded assumed to be by mexican cartel and by coincidence i came across a beheading of mexicans all illegal immigrants beheading three children near baltimore. lou: i am so delighted that you take up the issue of teddy kennedy, and people i don't think know this part of the history and it's laid out so
7:22 pm
brilliantly ann coulter and her book the role of ted kennedy in the 1965 not the 1995 1965 immigration law that turned american immigration policy upside down. >> yes. lou: and not too good effect. >> not too good effect at all unless i'm a left wing democrat not one of the old-style democrats, and what's important about that you hear people talking about their grandfathers who came in at ellis island weeping. no the pre-1970 immigrants were a whole different order of immigrants from the post-1970 immigrants, that was by design, pre-1970 immigrants used to be more educated. had more incomes and 30% of them went home. post-teddy kennedy's act in 1970, that's when it started to get under way vastly more likely to collect welfare than american citizens was why would any country bring in people who instantly need our help.
7:23 pm
we have our own poor people to take care of. no one goes home, they go on welfare. lou: and kennedy's view what was his motivation in changing all of this? >> to change it to a population more likely to vote for very left wing policies. the democrats looked around and said fine america you won't vote for us we tried this the easy way, we're going to bring in more voters. maybe the democrats think we've hit the tipping point, now openly talking about it how the 1965 immigration act was the kennedy family's greatest gift to the democrats and the big democratic consultant gloated after the second obama's re-election, ha-ha george mcgovern's revenge. lou: and one of the references which you go through part of my history on the issue, which i'd ask so why are americans insistently told there are only 11 million illegal immigrants? that was back in 2006 in which
7:24 pm
i was citing a study by bear stearns which it rose to 20 million illegal immigrants and people -- the left went nuts. the left liberal media excoriated me for that despite the fact it was sourced and authoritative source. >> and clearly correct and all they can say is we trust the census estimates, as the bear stearns guy pointed out, robert just itch and betty inning, are advising people about money, not a census report. and what robert justice said the idea that people trek thousands of miles left parents behind, run from border guards, stolen social security cards are going to accurately fill out a government survey is insane, they look at remittances of money back to mexico how much that went up.
7:25 pm
housing permits graduation rates in various illegal alien hot beds and they estimated that was 2005, 20 million you can look at it in my book, look at the report yourself. it's far more believable then the two famous pulitzer prize-winning journalists, you can look them up one name barlet and steele. they spent a year doing the investigations. lou: reporters for "time" magazine. >> and "vanity fair," very famous. they concluded 3 million illegal aliens would come in 2006 alone. i underestimate. let's say it's one million a year, that is 30 million, massively conservative million and possibly as high as 50 million. lou: and now, with the 30 million you're saying they're voting democratic, and the republicans are doing what? republicans are saying let's let's have amnesty because otherwise they're not going to vote for us.
7:26 pm
is there some part of the syllogism i missed? >> how did republicans end up on the wrong side of -- shouldn't the democrats be given 30 million new voters? look, this is the kind of stupidity republicans have engaged in before i think it's possible to shake them out of it as i recall the republican party was the party of abortion, once the party of gun control, once the party of equal rights amendment, and the people stood -- lou: and the constitution. >> but one politician would come along and say no i'm against abortion i'm against gun control and win overwhelmingly, the way republicans win is by appealing to their base white voters. lou: that is considered a radical view, wait a minute, hispanics are voting democratic anyway -- you get it. do you not want to miss reading this terrific, terrific -- it is a compendium of all knowledge basically, and the most important information in
7:27 pm
thinking on the issue of immigration in this country, and the impact on the country's destiny. you've got to read it, and i recommend it to you highly. "adios, america" we can be saying welcome back america, if you read it and a few other million folks, too. congratulations best book ever i think. >> thank you. lou: and it's funnier than hell, if you've got a sense of humor because she sure brings great wit. ann coulter thank you. >> thank you. lou: be sure to vote in our poll tonight, the question is -- we'd like to hear from you, cast your vote at loudobbs.com. in washington state, boeing turning heads ahead of next week's airshow in paris, posting practice maneuvers of the new dreamliner, the 787-9, as you see there taking off almost vertically!
7:28 pm
incredible when you consider the dreamliner can hold 280 passengers. wow! i think boeing's got a winner there don't you? up next a few thoughts on the strange politics of today's trade vote it's complicated and a little disturbing. and a little funny. we're coming right back. stay with us. the real question that needs to be asked is "what is it that we can do that is impactful?" what the cloud enables is computing to empower cancer researchers.
7:29 pm
7:32 pm
. lou: i've got to tell you, ann coulter's book, i'm not kidding one bit, you got to read it "adios america" the impact on illegal immigration and amnesty. a few thoughts on the trade bill in the house, embarrassing loss for the president and speaker boehner. listen, if you will to the ever gracious spokesman josh earnest spin out the president's embarrassment as a procedural snafu. not a vote on principle or
7:33 pm
policy. >> to the surprise of very few, another procedural snafu has emerged. these kinds of entanglements are endemic to the house of representatives. lou: i wish i could tell you tonight that today's vote was a statement in support of millions of working men and women and entrepreneurs and small business people, our middle class but unfortunately i can't do that. the fact is i'm sorry to be the one to tell you president obama and speaker boehner and their like in the house mean to kill more jobs cut more wages and strangle our middle class, and they'll sleep well in the bosom of the ever generous special interests they serve the lobbyists the chamber and the roundtable. but there is some good in today's vote the legislation did expose truth that the trade assistance bill, for example, is deeply necessary to help the hundreds of thousands of americans who they acknowledge today will lose their jobs as a result of so-called free trade
7:34 pm
that's supposed to create jobs. these people are crazy. they don't think you're going to pay attention to the ironies the contradictions and the realities. both parties mean to drive further immigration and give the president greater, not lesser power to act by executive authority, whether legal or illegal immigration, speaker boehner, always panting and eager to do the bidding of the chamber declared there would be another vote next week. paul ryan who can't get enough of himself these days, let all know who are eager, he is very proud of congress today. >> i'm very proud of congress today proud of the house republican caucus, i'm proud of the pro-trade democrats that kept their word and stuck with us in this process. lou: he said that with a straight face. proud and thankful for the pro-trade democrats, 28 of
7:35 pm
them, the issue isn't trade, we're going to trade. issue is the consequences of these kinds of deals on the american way of life our american middle class and all who aspire to it. remember today's vote on trade and the vote's upcoming, i truly believe you are watching speaker boehner, congressman ryan and the house gop leaders undercut the chances that a republican candidate will win the 2016 presidential race because they're trying it seems their damnedest to sell out the middle class and all who aspire to it. our quotation of the evening on being up-front and straightforward and permitting no double dealing any of kind.
7:36 pm
26th president, theodore roosevelt and as the saying goes not likely not today in our nation's capitol. we're coming right back. hillary clinton is trying to rewrite history but just in an instagram video. will anyone buy her reset reboot, whatever it is or will she get the boot? you heard that lightning never strikes twice. on "lou dobbs tonight," you'll have to rethink that. what happens to folks in florida who captured an amazing contradiction of that old song. it really opens the passages. waiter. water. so why would you invest without checking brokercheck? check your broker with brokercheck.
7:40 pm
. lou: joining us daniel halper online editor for the weekly standard moody's capital markets john lonski, and rebecca bird from real clear politics. that was quite a vote and extraordinary defeat for the president, but it was a republican bill when you look at all the votes, right? >> well, it was. but we can't forget that this was a priority of the president, and i would say that extraordinary actually doesn't begin to describe this outcome for president obama because he has not pushed this hard for anything really on the hill since the health care legislation, at the very beginning of his administration, and here we saw he fell short. it says a lot about the juice
7:41 pm
that president obama does or doesn't have with democrats and says a lot about the party being in disarray right now. lou: is this a signal daniel, to both parties that you better be focused on the middle class working men and women, because it's a real issue and will have a real impact in 2016? >> definitely one element of it if it walk like a duck talks like a duck it probably is a duck obama has zero power in congress over his own democrats. middle class wages matter a lot. president obama, who cares what he has to inta any of these issues? not his own party, and he's cut out of the don't. that means republicans can go forward and do something interesting forget trade do, something interesting. lou: i'm telling you these people are acting like idiots that do something on trade. they think they can somehow john, dismiss 40 years of
7:42 pm
successive trade deficits, 17 trillion dollars in external trade debt the outsourcing of millions of american jobs the loss of american manufacturing to cheaper labor markets around the world that has torn our middle class to pieces. >> the middle class no longer believes that free trade is without cost. you know, many middle-class americans have suffered greatly from the loss of jobs to cheaper labor in emerging market countries not only in manufacturing but in services as well. services such as computer programming financial analysis and the like. i think this is a wake-up call for both political parties that the middle class is getting its act together, and that it wants you know something more material in terms of support at washington. lou: rebecca, the leading establishment candidate is former governor jeb bush. the building of this issue and what occurred in washington
7:43 pm
today is only another problem for him, is it not, and his candidacy. >> well, it could be he did support this bill and i think he will continue to support this proposal, but a number of republicans did, it's not necessarily something that distinguishes him from the rest of the republican field. lou: i'm not suggesting it does but i am saying because of his prominence and support for, it he's going to have to rethink his position if he thinks he's going to win in the primaries or in the general election. >> perhaps although what we did see on the hill with this vote is republicans actually stepped up for the most part to support it, and it was really the democrats who shot it down, this could actually be a big issue to watch in the democratic primary. hillary clinton, you will remember, didn't take a stance on this issue. lou: right, but the point being it's a republican bill as i said to mike emanuel. this is a republican bill with a presidential cheerleader, less a defeat for him, even though he is preeminent than it
7:44 pm
is for the republicans soaking up the kool-aid and moving ahead with the orthodox view of the economics. >> agree two reasons to oppose the bill. one is the substance as you're laying out. the other is the process, conservatives and republicans didn't like the process though they are in favor of free trade. that is repudiation of the american establishment who led this bill through. lou: it's still not a good result. >> this is the worst economic recovery since world war ii. we've had middle class real incomes declining ever since 2004, and this going to become an ever greater issue as we move forward. middle-class america is frightened in a way that we haven't seen perhaps since the 1930s. lou: do you think john boehner will have the guts to bring this bill up next week? >> no, i don't think so. lou: thank you very much that's where we got to leave it, daniel good to have you with us rebecca thank you so much. john lonski, good to see you.
7:45 pm
south central florida hit by powerful thunderstorms this week. two local journalists covering the storms when the camera captured the explosion of not one but two power transformers. one saying they saw a lightning strike hit the power lines, caused the explosion of the transformers. wow. and always good to be in that car as long as you are not touching anything during a thunderstorm. i learned that one. it actually works. new details on the manhunt for new york's most wanted most dangerous fugitives. we'll show you what it's like to fly to the edge of space at supersonic speed in one of the most famous soviet era fighter jets, here next. this allergy season, will you be a sound sleeper, or a mouth breather. well, put on a breathe right strip and instantly open your nose up to 38% more than allergy medicines alone. so you can breathe and sleep. shut your mouth and sleep right. breathe right. the real question that needs to be asked is "what is it that we can do

that is impactful?" what the cloud enables is computing to empower cancer researchers. it used to take two weeks to sequence and analyze a genome; with the microsoft cloud we can analyze 100 per day. whatever i can do to help compute a cure for cancer, that's what i'd like to do. if you can't put a feeling into words, why try? at 62,000 brush movements per minute philips sonicare leaves your mouth with a level of clean like you've never felt before. innovation and you. philips sonicare.
7:49 pm
. lou: breaking news now on the manhunt for new york's most wanted fugitives, convicted killers richard matt and david sweat new york state police arresting prison seamstress joyce mitchell. she's accused of providing material assistance to those killers. mitchell reportedly gave them hacksaw blades, drill bits and two pairs of special glasses as for the manhunt itself that is still going on tonight, authorities have yet come up with a new theory.
7:50 pm
they strongly believe the fugitives are still together and about 500 law enforcement officers are focusing their search now on a rural area outside dannemora, which is the site of the state penitentiary from which they escaped from its maximum security facility. the manhunt goes on, and this is by my count, about the sixth view on the part of law enforcement where they might be. on wall street stocks closing lower, the dow jones industrials plummeted 141 points. the s&p down 15. and the nasdaq dropped 31 points. volume on the big board today, light trading. summertime is here. 2.7 billion shares. for the week the dow and s&p posting modest gains the nasdaq with weekly losses of under 1%. those two gains against the losses pretty good for the summer. be sure to listen to my reports three times a day
7:51 pm
coast-to-coast on the salem radio network. hold onto your seats the view is about to become spectacular. what you are now looking at is a russian fighter jet pilot who's flying at supersonic speeds, taking this camera that reveals these images on a ride to the edge of space. the mig-29 fulcrum as the pilot performed aerobatic maneuvers with the soviet era jet, and spectacular they are, extraordinary. if you recall the concorde always flew to the edge of space up at 60,000 feet. think about this 12 years ago that the concorde service ended. in 2003, and we are -- it seems we're going the wrong direction when it comes to technological advancement in space. up next "jurassic world"
