we hope to see you right here next week. >> good evening everyone. the red storm has arrived. china carrying out acts of espionage and war. aggressively targeting the u.s. military and defense contractors and massive cyber attacks over the past five years. and without cyber counterattacks from the united states. without any response, whatsoever it appears. our intelligence agencies asleep, perhaps helpless as a worlds largest nations at this very moment, streaming some of our most sensitive secret information and technology. threatening america's status of the worlds only superpower.

with the aid of trillions of dollars of u.s. intellectual property. stolen over the past several decades. we take it up tonight with congressman matt gates, age expert gordon chang, cyber security expert morgan right. also tonight, senate rinos as the president fights to secure the border. others said the opening the idea of limiting the presence use of emergency declarations. president trump says his declaration is about one thing. making america safe. >> this is really about not unconstitutionality because it is constitutional. this is a vote on border security and a vote on drugs and trafficking and all of that. i think most republican senators fully understand that. i think it's bad for a republican senate. also thing is bedford democrat

senator to vote against border security. and to vote against the wall. i think if they vote that way it's a bad thing for them. long into the future. >> we take up the presidents commitment to secure our border on the failure of the republican party in congress to respond to the demands of the president of the non-american people. and president trump today announcing that he was grounding boeing 737 max jetliners after deftly crashes in ethiopia and indonesia. >> we are issuing an emergency order of prohibition to ground all flights of the 737 max 8 and the 737 max 9. boeing is an incredible company.they are working very hard right now and hopefully they will very quickly come up with the answer. but until they do the planes are grounded. lou: we dressed the president's decisive action and his order. the likely consequences of it all here tonight.

our top story, the red storm is here. china launching major cyber attacks against the u.s. military and defense contractors. incredibly without a counterstrike by the united states. many u.s. intelligence agencies politicized by the obama administration utterly failed to carry out effective counterintelligence operations against china and russia. after years of neglect, president trump is demanded better performance from these intelligence agencies. and cyber security forces. while the president has succeeded in changing the course of events, much more is required. no better example than the chinese tech giant, huawei. which has become the corporate focus of u.s. counterintelligence operations. one of their subsidiaries, has quietly and without interruption effectively become a dominant force in undersea

fiber-optic cables.there which the world internet traffic travels. huawei marine has built or upgraded many undersea fiber-optic cables which gives china control of almost 1/4 of all underwater cables. u.s. intelligence has come up with no strategy to counter chinese influence. and can only warn now that china could disrupt, divert or spy on data crossing through all of these lines. joining me now in the national security risk posed by china and fight over control the internet grid as well as u.s. navy now under siege by chinese cyber attacks, congressman matt gates. member of the house judiciary and armed services committees, congressman great to have you with us. this is an extra nearly disturbing report. >> it is. in five years the country has done absolutely nothing, effectively to counter the attacks, cyber attacks by the chinese and particular.

>> president trump is the first president in the modern era to understand the fusion between china's military and strategic interest and the economic gain that they have played with united states for decades. china is not a friend and they're becoming a more dangerous enemy. but many reviewers would not know that today, don is actually connecting rural america to telecommunication systems. here's how they do it. they don't have an innovative sector. of their economy because the government runs the economy. so they replaced innovation with theft. they come and steal intellectual property from american innovators pay they do not have the upfront cost so they sell the technology cheaply in the united states and if you're a rural community and you want conductivity, you are taking the cheapest option. just yesterday and house judiciary committee, with a an admission that the principal world civil communications professional association even allows huawei to have a -- on

their board. a foreign company have a seat on the board of the people that are supposed to be connect their country to information. this is a very serious issue. president trump impose $50 billion on chinese intellectual property for this reason but as you laid out is not just an economic battle. this is a battle that has national security and strategic consequences. lou: those consequences are becoming more dire with each passing day. we know that the chinese are stealing and have been stealing hundreds of billions of dollars a year in intellectual property and technology from this country. as he said, laying a foundation for another superpower with which to contend. at our expense. it is mindless, it goes on. we are negotiating apparently now in our trade talks with china. to ask them to pretty please with sugar on it, don't steal our stuff instead of showing them what happens when you do

steal our stuff. >> absently right, lou. when you look at the attacks that china has put on the supply chain in our defense industries, they are going after our areas of most significant importance. also keep an eye on china as the venezuela situation unfolds. china has substantial assets in venezuela. i don't think they have asses there because they are betting on the future of venezuela. i think they want asses because it is geopolitically strategic for them to be able to have a force multiplier or capabilities in the western hemisphere close by to us. we have to keep a close eye on that. lou: for the very same reasons that russia is still maintaining cuba and also taking what you call laughably, security sources to protect nicolas maduro. nicolas maduro is without question, in place for a while

so as russian forces are protecting him. your thoughts about the future. >> i don't want to see u.s. troops on the ground in latin america. but i do think that we cannot allow the foreign actors to come into the western hemisphere with no consequence. i think in your opening of the segment, you raise the right question.what are we going to do now? my belief is that we have got to be able to create coalitions that keep china contains because they have this one belt, one road strategy that is a strategy for global dominance from china and we've got to wake up to that threat. and by the way, while democrats in congress cannot stop telling the russia lies, that are all unfounded, the real significant competitor we have is china and there laughing at the democrats want to keep us focused on russia instead of the real activity that is going on that threatens americans. lou: and the radical dimms continue to do everything they can to subvert the president in the face of all of these existential strategic challenges whether from china, russia or iran. matt gates, always good to have

you with us. >> thank you. lou: up ahead, we take up the rise of the radical left and their socialist ideas. with economist thomas -- the president reminds everyone what his emergency declaration is all about. >> the massive surging flow of illegal immigration trafficking drugs and crimes. threatening the safety of all of us. lou: we take that up and more after the break. rnc chair -ah, the old crew! remember when we all used to go to the cafeteria and just chow down midday? -you mean, like, lunch? -come on. voted "most likely to help people save $668 when they switch." -at this school? -didn't you get caught in the laminating machine? -ha.

lou: explained to me, in your party, these rinos.i say with as much discussed as i can emanate. they are just ridiculous. in their thinking, their performance and failure to support a president who in most cases, is the only reason these people have been reelected. >> i will tell you, i've been traveling the country. i'm in touch with the grassroots. i'm also in touch with the donors and they're saying, democrats do one thing. they are in lockstep with each other all the time.why can't we do as a party? obviously, there's room for discussion but we all ran on border security.will recognize we have an immigration issue. all these centers recognize that. we know the president is doing the right thing to keep our country safe. he needs to be supported. lou: i will take straight up, i think every senator that was against this, should absolutely beremoved from office. i mean , i think the rnc should work to get rid of them.

because they are standing in the way of a president who is the most successful in the first two years of his presidency since fdr. is that straightforward. >> i've heard a lot of feedback from our voters. and they are saying why can our people support our president? we elected him and it will be an issue for those especially in 2020.the president deserves support. he ran on this. and by the way, congressionally he has a lot of the power to declare a national emergency. this is something he's doing well within his capacity as president. lou: a 43-year-old act! >> it's been used 58 times since then but we also have a serious serious problem at the border. he ran on it, we know it's a problem. 260,000 people so far been apprehended this year at the border.lou: we are looking at a million that will be apprehended.

the ratio of those who are not apprehended to those apprehended, it means it could be as many as 4 million illegal immigrants cross our border this year and these fools are saying that there is not a crisis of the border? >> the president will veto that. it will go to the house, they will not have enough to override it so we will go forward. but i do think as i travel is the one thing i hear. what do democrats always stick together and why can't republicans stick with this president? lou: let's start with paul ryan is a talking but he didn't think the president could win if it was based on the president. i mean, what kind of in remiss is he? >> backtracked out today. he has backtracked that. lou: that is actually an accelerated evidence. >> here's the reality.what do we want? do we want -- [inaudible] every time he attacked the president were helping the democrats. lou: ryan is a speaker of the house. he did nothing but lie to the

president, lie to the american people and represent the chamber of commerce every day in every way. why is he even considered? >> i'm glad he has backtracked. he's done the right thing. we need to support our president heading into a presidential year. a president has grown jobs, cut taxes, taken on national security, made a stronger, -- [multiple speakers] he deserves our support. look at where the democrats are! every time you tuck the president you are helping the democrats. that's what i say to our party. pick up the phone, call the president. but let's make sure that we recognize the endgame. we want to reelect donald trump, let's return majority to the senate and when the house back. lou: the make it your sense of things right now. this president working every day, almost single-handedly to stave off his attackers and left-wing national media, the radical dimms and the rinos in

his own party. how can you turn this around, fight for the president, make it clear. the house, the leaders. start fighting because this is ignorance. the witchhunt, the revelations that continue to this day. the only ones who have been found culpable of anything in all of this, collusion bowl had been the investigators. >> and future gps and the democrat party who paid them and hillary clinton. i mean this is just ridiculous. lou: so i can't the republicans turn the table? >> the rnc members recently put a unanimous resolution forward supporting the president. the rnc is in lockstep supporting the president. i work with them every day. i worked with the campaign and it's because of the great things he's done to save our country. he has taken on every single obstacle. he has so many headwinds coming against him and we do need to

rally around the president because he is making our country great again. lou: single-handedly. he gutted the very premise of the democratic party. he has raised employment for minorities, for african-americans, hispanics, asians, women. he has this economy growing at three percent. he has unwound all of the regulation that was put in place. not all of it but most of it put in place. questions from the republican standpoint look at what he's done to the bench. with kavanaugh, circuit court judges, it will transform the nation. we need to support this president and i hear this all the time from grassroots. they want to see our candidates and 22 are up in 2020 peer they have got to support the president. lou: do you call a chuck grassley that's lost his mind, a michael he that has lost his, ted cruz -- i mean who -- >> i will not share my

conversations on t.v. but listen, i have to make it clear, here are some of the conversation that i'm hearing. this is what i'm here from the grassroots, from the donors. they are very upset and they say time and time again, why do democrats always dandelion together and why can't we do that for this president? lou: in this from one of the president's greatest defenders and advocates. not just a defender, an advocate and an important one. thank you so much for all of you do. ronna mcdaniel, leaving the party. i hope the damn fools follow. >> i hope so! [laughter] lou: thank you, ronna mcdaniel. we would like to hear your thoughts share your comments follow me on twitter, instagram.coming up the radical dimms says that there witchhunt will go on no matter what. special counsel, no matter what robert mueller says about the facts, the hell with all of that. they will continue witchhunts and more witchhunts.

know, it could be what have you. it's very important to be able to react quickly as he did today on the boeing thing. we have a crisis on this border. congress will not act, the president has to act and they have to basically give him the money to do what he has to do. for mcconnell he ought to be leading the charge on that.. lou: mcconnell does not seem to lead anything except the rinos that want to undercut the president and align himself with the idea of coming back the presidential powers right now firmly being if we did not have a president who was decisive, strong, knew where he wanted to take the country. >> would be in terrible shape and it is hard enough as it is to make this game work. but my sense is, -- out a new favorite full screen but -- all of these

>> this president is trying to do something about what the chinese have been doing. we found out front since last october, tel aviv university professor, told us that china telecom, the state telecom, has been diverting internet traffic from the united states and canada into china where they have been surveilling and taking it and clearly this is not just a theoretical concern. lou: it's almost become like a commercial where the security guard talks about he monitors, he does not stop. it's the intelligence agencies of this country are laughingstock. they're attacking a sitting president while permitting china and russia and iran and god knows who else, to just simply run over the united states, steel our intellectual property. our technology, to rifle through the files as they will of the u.s. government. and major corporations.why is

there no retaliation? >> is a good question.the consent to the politics of it. last time i think we talked, one of the things is adamant on, the way we attack these because we have to go after them in a row economically people like huawei and zte, put them out of business so they can also supply the infrastructure being used to undercut us around the world. this is the slowest their economy has grown in years. we have to be on the offense and we did it with sprint keeping others of the network. we cut them out of the national safety network in the united states. there are ways we can do this but it takes political will. lou: and in the financial markets, in chicago, -- that was stopped by this administration. what in the world is it going to take to understand for our national leadership, wall

street, corporate america, to understand that they have got to start supporting this nation and react. >> one of the reasons why we don't have stronger cybersecurity laws and better defenses is because the business lobby has tried to water down every proposal that has gotten to congress. and by the way, it is great the administration stopped the chicago stock exchange but we know that they're coming at us again because a trade talks were having with beijing, they want to be able to access and participate in our electronic payment system. which again would put them into the backbone. lou: what are we to do? and the question arises, why in the world would we be in trade talks with a country morgan, that is attacking our military , attacked in the corporations, our financial markets, every day.

>> look, they just did a wargames study and found out that if world war iii were fought today, the russian and chinese would hand us our collective reruns because were not prepared to stop them. we would lose at every single engagement militarily and cyber wise too. we keep, they keep hitting the snooze button on the wake-up calls. how many wake-up calls does it take? will it take craft airliners to get their attention? i don't know but i can say doesn't get worse than this record to the -- the report to the navy secretary there bleeding intellectual property and secrets. they are still in everything including stealth fighter designs, sonic, supersonic missiles used to take out carriers. all courtesy of the united states. lou: why gordon, is in this country talking about this? why are we doing something? why are we engaging in trade

talks when we should be having actually frankly, talks because we need to be italian against any aggressor. even obama put out a declaration doctrine that we would consider these attacks an act of war. >> and what we have seen in the national security -- >> he didn't do anything!>> had the agreement with xi jinping -- >> we don't want to go there. but clearly the national security strategy of president trump is a landmark document because he doesn't name the chinese and russians. it really is the first step. lou: now we have everybody names! we know who our enemies are. what are we going to do about it and what is it going to take to defend the assets of this country and this country. >> morgan said, eager to the economy, their weak right now. also the tariffs that the president has put on, the 301

terrace. lou: look at russia, look at iran. every country we've ever put sanctions on, it has had no effect. now we are watching therussians , they have added over 100 icbms. another hundred since 2012. for their submarine force. i mean, what are we thinking here! >> look, the budget was just released. seven -- 750 billion. tina was expensive, not a five percent increase, fighting a war we are not prepared for. that is world war iii. someone said it could be by the mid-2020s. that is where the expense comes in. it is not that we are spending the right amount on that, -- >> we are not complaining about this i applaud the president and rebuilding the military. i'm talking about what are we to do now? the fact of the matter is we do not have sufficient numbers.

cruise missiles. we do not have sufficient ordinance. we do not have sufficient fleet, surface force that would you know, keep up with the chinese. >> one thing, we disengaged from the chinese economy because our congress gives them the proceeds from which they build up their military. that is the first start. the president is starting to do that. we have a long way to go but we are going on the road. lou: last word. >> look, one time it was so you think hiring a professional is expensive wait and see you hire an amateur. we keep letting the amateurs run this it will get expensive. donald trump is on the right path. spend morning during peacetime to get with the quality third -- we have to change a tactical advantage. as long as we let russian and chinese steel our artificial intelligence advanced technologies will be on the losing end.

lou: unfortunately, the very people from whom they are stealing the intellectual property or on the other side, not our side. in most of these instances, -- unregistered foreign agents instructing his americans. instructing his americans. thank c) (announcer) the following is a paid advertisement for time life presents the '60s. ♪ ♪ come on, people now ♪ smile on your brother ♪ everybody get together ♪ try to love one another right now ♪ (announcer) the '60s was an era marked by an explosion of a counter culture that shaped an entire generation. ♪ i wanna take you higher (energetic music) ♪ i want to take you higher ♪ it's the time of the season for loving ♪ ♪ to everything, turn, turn, turn ♪
