risk innocent bystanders, including children. also this ridiculous narrative that the president is never tough on russia. 700 billion investment in spending last week, do you think that helps russia u.s. military getting stronger, bigger, tougher. and we export energy here, how does this help russia. to say nothing of fact that u.s. address have issued sanctions against 100 individuals. and then any number of other actions taken. it really up ends that whole narrative, and shows again this president takes action in city that loves to talk. lou: in a city that loves to talk, seem to be fascinated with itself. the fact is that the relationship with russia, china, are showing we're seeing a trade relationship to say the least

with russians, woo seeing relationship with chinese in the face of the tariffs imposed by president. as i noted. >> yes. lou: everyone in the orthodoxy in the political press and business press as well, thought this is they were clucking and clacking and whaling about the tariffs -- wailing about tariffs, be on -- unaware that u.s. has not run a trade sump surplus in 50 year. >> this is part of what president trump want took issues with trades. he realized this is an issue of fairness this president made a commitment making good on every day to america, to american interests and american workers. and he says to china, they lost a investigation, said there are violations, we can take act to make this more fair, stop the

theeftheft of our intellectual property, and president is sick of this economic aggression, appease impeachmented to always -- appease am that we're prime ministered t expected to give to china. i want to make a quick point. every time the people protect something tragic will happen and occur from an act that president trump takes it never happens. he pulls out of the paris accord, you can't do that. nothing happened. and you can't keep the commitment of 5 presidents and move the u.s. embassy to jerusalem, and recognize it as capital of israel, bad things will hop happen, then we'll told you will start a trade war with china, that does not happen, stock market springs back today because predictioned trade war does not happen.

lou: it has not happened. and this strategy at-this-point that president is on the right side of history again. we're also however looking at a country that has been aggressive, and expansionist in its policies. on its way to fulfill hegemonic designs in the region, china will not be milk toast in anyway, we can't expect them to alike we have because they are startesmarter. i think that president does not give enough credit for saying to chinese, here is the issue, we want you to reduce your surplus with us, and again, people reacting, reflectively because there -- of this orthodoxy lead by chamber of commerce, be round

table and other establishment hacks in the city that we went to war against when he started campaigning. >> battleships turn slowly they can sink quickly, people better realize who the captain is in this town, he came here to disrupt, change the way of doing, american people responded in kind. i stell feel that there are organs andin organization that city that are not honoring the will of the people, are not adapting themselves to this president, they are expecting him to adapting to the city, that is not going to happen. i would tell you, with matters like this spending bill. this president is the -- a negotiator, deal maker in chief, he will be more involved in future, we're doing this against in 6 months, he has put everyone on notice. do not send me this again.

exercises are. >> he is not getting love from daca or schumer or pelosi u. they are peddling that stuff they are full of it. straight up. >> let me just point out, something important. congress' approval rating mired at 10%, president's approval rating is going up, even all narratives about chaos and nonsense from main sphreem main. us that work here see a president who is very focused -- -- lou: don't push that too far. what he promised was a wall. >> he better get it. i agree with you. >> he was elected he is not guy who said just wait, he is the guy who said we'll have a smart government, do what we said, he is doing a historic job. but there are some --

>> if he could do it on his own he would. lou: i understand. but -- >> turns stomach of a lot of folks in his base. we look forward to next 6 -- >> look m me he is frustrated, e made it clear the other day. listening to generals who want military funded and made clear that people in congress did not listen to men and women of dhs, asking for reinforcement. he wants that wall as center piece of campaign. he is protecting his country, we have to have a more sovereign nation with fiscal borders. lou: you are talking to choir here, the audience of this broadcast, that is why they want that damn wall, kellyanne.

where -- does the fbi know how to do anything right? >> apparently not. and one of the best things that could happen would be for the department of justice to get rid of just about every top official at the fbi. because they have proven again, that they are either incompetent or little bit i -- politically biased. and americans should be fed up. as i know you are. lou: without question. and i think we have only the evidence and the experience. to support our views. this is troubling. because there needs to be a movement went congress within the senate, went the white house, to overhaul that place. it really needs -- i don't know if a scrubbing is adequate. it is rancid in its leadership.

>> as lord acton said, power corrupt -- absolute power corrupts absolutely. he is right. that is the fbi for the better part of the last decade, absolute, unchecked power at hands of first robert mueller then james comey, this is what you get. lou: and attorney general jeff sessions seems to have receded to wherever it is he goes during the quiet periods of his, as devin nunes, chairman of house intelligence committee saying, point blank we have to go after these officials, and seek contempt if they do not produce, then documents and data and defer to the congress and congressional committees whose right and responsibility it is

a crucial russian market. >market. >> the bond between our people remain strong. the united states is ready to cooperate and forge a better relationship between our two countries. but that will only be possible when russia chooses to become a more responsible partner. reporter: president trump needs to do much more. he needs to toughen you have economic sanctions and hit putin's money, the oligarch's money and beef up the current forces along the russian border.

the jets are outfitted with stealth technology to help avoid radar detection, and it can land vertically just like a helicopter. extraordinary aircraft. joining us tonight, the former vice chief of the air force general jack keane, now fox news strategic analyst. let's start with the russians, sending home 60 folks. never before that's sent even during the cold war. what do you make of it? streent of it is it's being done by 20-plus nations. we have the most of russian diplomats in this country. usually that doesn't get much consequence in terms of changing behavior. but the idea has to be daunting

on mr. putin that he's dealing with a different president than in trump given as he mentioned in the introduction. all the things we have done to push back on russia. the thing putin paid the most attention to is the buildup of the united states military and the fy18 and fy19 budget. he's look at that as deja vu. he remembers the buildup that's came before the collapse of the soviet union. the commander of allied forces in the europe is calling for increased u.s. troops to be put on the russian bored. in the budget we just approved and he signed, there is three times the amount of money in that given the past investments. $6.5 billion.

more troops, more capabilities. that's something that gets putin's attention. lou: i'm sure it does. but you have instructed us on some of the different is of our military. we have a smaller fighting force than at any time in memory. >> 75 years. lou: we have at the same time a deficiency in hypersonic weapons the russians have been funding and developing for years while we have lagged thanks in large measure to sequestration and the policies of the obama administration and the preoccupation of the bush administration with wars in the middle east. >> these two budgets in and of themselves will not fix the military. but they clearly are an initial first gooding stallment to put us on a path to do that.

hopefully congress will figure out a way to keep doing that without increasing the deficit. that will get mr. putin's attention. eventualitily we have to do something about putin and his cronies. we can tie that up. and that will get his attention. lou: kim jong-un in beijing, what do you make of it? >> i think it's the chinese trying to exert a little control. they are probably concerned the north korean leader and the united states leader is meeting one-on-one. that kind of takes china out of that process. they are inserting themselves back in the process.

we always looked at this as adults on your show. we always knew china had control over north korea from the beginning right after the war was over and nothing happened in north korea without china's approval. that's the reality of it. that's what this is about, trying to get kim jong-un's attention. hopefully changa will play ball and move this in the right direction. but we have to be sceptical about china. they have played us just as much as the north koreans have all these years. lou: general, thanks so much. general jack keane. please roll the video and watch as 61-year-old mad mike hughes launches himself nearly 2,000 feet above the mojave desert in his home made rocket.

president obama going around the world for speak engagements for lavish fees, one would presume. he was in japan where he said he would create perhaps a million young barack or michelle obamas so the world would be a better place. sorry to disappoint you, but probably that wouldn't permit us to maintain your uniqueness. that would be disappointing to us all. joining us, former reagan political director, ed rollins and "new york post" fox business contributor, michael goodwin. can you imagine anyone saying they wanted a million more people just like themselves? he through in his wife as an

they lost house members and senators. and it took donald trump about 100 days to you be do all his executive orders he spent 8 years pushing through. i think jimmy cart i shall saying john bolton waltz worst appointment was to me a positive thing. lou: it was positive if the worst thing he has done is bring in john bolton. let's turn to the russian decision. the president is accused of being soft on russia. the largest number of intelligence officers being shipped back to russia. is there anything to these ejecting each other's diplomats and intelligence officers?
