"america reports" now. >> look, i've seen that press report, it's not accurate. >> not accurate they are planning this? >> i've seen the report, it's not accurate. >> john: national security council spokesman john kirby denying reports that china teamed up with cuba for a spy base. >> sandra: they say insisting it began as far back as 2019 under the trump administration. >> john: we are awaiting the white house briefing to clear up the mixed messaging here.

john roberts in washington and so begins another week, sandra. >> sandra: sets us up for an exciting afternoon. i'm sandra smith in new york. the former director of national intelligence john ratcliffe said he had no knowledge of the sky establishment in 2019. >> were you aware of the cuba spy center? >> there wasn't one, maria, this kind of surveillance platform was present and allowed is just absurd. >> john: the china spy base is only about 100 miles from american shores and according to reports, it lets china eavesdrop on everything from phone calls and emails to communications within the u.s. military. >> sandra: florida congressman mike waltz how the u.s. should stop china from expanding the global footprint. gillian turner, what's the latest? >> gillian: secretary of state

tony blinken wrapped a presser in which he appeared to confirm china has been operating a spy base inside cuba or trying to and it is part of this broader effort by the communist party to ramp up espionage against foreign countries. take a look at the statement, given to fox news by a biden administration official on saturday. they say the people's republic of china conducted an upgrade of its intelligence connection facilities in cuba in 2019. this is well-documented in the intelligence record. an issue this administration inherited. now, this statement like i said was given to us saturday. two days prior national security spokesperson john kirby was on tv, he shot down reporting that this base even existed all together. listen. >> i'm saying -- i'm saying we have seen the report. it's not accurate. we are focused on making sure that we can mitigate any threats

from china in the region. >> gillian: asked about the claim the biden administration "inherited this issue" former dni john ratcliffe said it is not true. >> look, we took an incredible inventory of china and its capabilities during the trump administration and the idea that this kind of surveillance platform was present and being allowed is just -- you know, is just absurd and just like with the spy balloon situation you'll see trump administration officials coming out and saying it's simply not true. >> gillian: more evidence as if we needed it that tensions between the white house and beijing are on the rise. this just into the newsroom now, sandra, the biden administration is adding 41 entities to the export control list accusing them of threatening u.s. national security interests by helping to train and equip chinese pilots, so now the 41

companies and organizations on this list will no longer be able to import anything from the united states. sandra, back to you. >> sandra: gillian turner, thank you. >> john: florida republican congressman mike waltz, member of the house foreign affairs committee. congressman, great to see you. so there is no doubt in the audience's mind where the white house, the administration stood on this spying base in cuba, let's just roll the video tape, what they said. >> based on the information that we have that that is not accurate, that we are not aware of china and cuba developing any type of spy station. >> i'm saying we have seen the report. it's not accurate. we are focused on making sure that we can mitigate any threats from china in the region. >> john: now the white house is saying oh, no, no, that's been there a while, upgraded back in 2019. as harris falkner was pointing out, they stone walled and

denied it until there was a rationale for it. >> deny, deny, and then blame the trump administration. ok, take it at face value, i don't, take at face value, clear apparently in the reporting why then if this spy base existed and they inherited the problem did they go soft on cuba, did they relax sanctions, when they saw the uprisings, if you remember, the popular uprisings in cuba, chinese moved in to help the cuban regime squash them and the administration did nothing, zilch. >> john: may 16, 2022, they relaxed sanctions. if cuba is cozying up to china, to allow a space to spy on the united states, the last thing the add would do, we will dial

back sanctions. >> the more our adversaries are aggressive, the more they infringe on our interests, the more in this case they harass our ships, our planes and international waters. you just had chinese nationals try to break into military bases in alaska, the spy balloon, the more the administration asks for more meetings. they believe if they can get the adversaries to the table, concede enough, talk enough, then they'll behave in line with the rules based order and the reality is our adversaries smell and see weakness and they will push until they are met with steel, hard power. >> john: the white house said not only did we know about this thing in cuba but took steps to mitigate it. what mike gallagher said about that. >> why did they deny it and then backtrack and blame the trump administration. it's not just this. the exact same thing with the chinese spy balloon incident.

they are misleading the public, white washing chinese party aggression to preserve diplomatic and economic engagement with the chinese communist party. this policy will not, would. >> john: gallagher said the chinese want to turn the monroe doctrine into the mao doctrine, and doing it in our back yard. >> they have ports on both sides of the panama canal, a space monitoring station, and more chinese schools in brazil than english schools, buying up farmland, and putting billions into jamaica and the bahamas. when you go on your vacation, you better start learning chinese. they are all over the western hemisphere. we need a new monroe doctrine, we have all the energy, food supply, and security that we need right here in this western hemisphere but we are not seeing

any of that in the administration. only thing i would add to what representative gallagher rightly said, it's the climate agenda and the part of the administration led by john kerry that is just obsessed with keeping some type of ties open so that they can push the chinese on their climate agenda. meanwhile the chinese communist party is opening up more coal fire power plants on russian coal, by the way, than the rest of the world combined. they don't give a damn about climate but can extract concessions because of the push from the administration. >> john: how is that working out for them, not sure it is. quick on ukraine, looks like the counteroffensive has begun, under taking it in donetsk, way north of where we thought it was going to go, we thought an operation from kherson so the sea of asov, do they have the

armaments? >> it's going to be a slow roll, breaches the line is incredibly costly and difficult. if they do it correctly, they'll save the western provided upgraded tanks for the breakthrough. look, i think zelenskyy knows and why imparted on us, they have to be successful in this counteroffensive to maintain international support and i could tell you from my perspective the europeans need to step up to maintain u.s. support. right now they have delivered about half the military aid the united states has, it's not burden sharing. we can be allies but have tough conversations and they should be matching us dollar for dollar. this is right on their doorstep yet we are not seeing them step up in a meaningful way. >> john: a lot riding on the counteroffensive, that's safe to say. thanks for kicking us off today. sandra. >> worrying how i'm going to get to work. >> i already know, it's about to

take forever. so get back to normal. >> traffic is going to suck tomorrow and will suck a while, it's already taken them 20 years to redo that and another 20 to fix it. >> we go from dirty air to now a broken down highway. >> sandra: oh, yeah, people in philly gearing up for a rough commute. pennsylvania governor issuing an emergency declaration after part of a bridge fell when a semi truck underneath it caught fire. this was the result. amazingly considering that scene, no one was hurt. transportation officials say some 160,000 drivers would normally travel on that section of the highway every day. let's get right to c.b. cotton, live in philly for us. we heard from local officials. when are we learning at this hour? >> sandra, good afternoon. just in, we learned the truck driver was going northbound on i-95 early yesterday morning when pennsylvania state police say the driver tried to take the

exit ramp and lost control of the vehicle. state leaders say the truck has now been removed from the wreckage, and they say the trucking company is cooperating with their investigation about still no one will comment on who the driver was. law enforcement say that information has to come from the medical examiner. we just got these details moments ago after federal and state elected leaders got an up close look at the wreckage. we do know that i-95 is closed, after a tanker truck carrying gasoline caught fire under the overpass. the heat sent a portion of i-95 northbound lane crashing down, reducing it to rubble. moments before the interstate collapsed, get this, some drivers traveled over the southbound lanes with seconds to spare. firefighters still looking into trying to find more about the cause of this fire.

emergency crews are still trying to identify if anyone else was caught in the collapse. but as of right now, no injuries or fatalities are reported. transportation secretary pete buttigieg saying he wants to get federal dollars in the right hands. >> we've got this emergency relief funding and we fund and reimburse the activities to swiftly get that road whack -- back to normal. we are talking about major structural work. >> demolition efforts are underway. demolition on the southbound lanes is supposed to begin monday and take from 4 to 5 days. governor josh shapiro saying an early timeline indicates it will take a number of months to get things repaired. back to you, sandra. >> sandra: it is going to take some time. c.b., thank you so much. >> john: and that happened not long after the big fire in connecticut as well along i-95.

that briefing. we'll bring you there when those questions and answers begin live. >> john: and they should be interested. the rampant crime crisis in san francisco causing a mass exodus of businesses. could the city be on the verge of losing hundreds of millions a year. robert wolf and tyler goodspeed next. >> it's getting pretty brutal. a lot of businesses are starting to leave. >> it's sad to see, it's not that crowded anymore. and from the army reserve. my retirement funds allow me to enjoy what i love to do. as long as you can make an impact, why stop?

>> i think they are going to lose tourism. people are afraid to come here. >> sandra: businesses are leaving san francisco in droves, and the city is on track to lose hundreds of millions a year as the triple crises of crime, homelessness and drug use gets worse and worse by the day. joining us is robert wolf, and tyler goodspeed, former chairman of the council of economic advisers in the executive office of the president. tyler, welcome to you. robert, live on set here in new york. businesses are fleeing, we know that. that has been happening for quite some time. you watch this and say some of the american cities have been through this before. this time feels different. they are not cracking down on the crime. not doing anything about the homeless situation in that city and the businesses are checking out. the residents are fleeing. so, what is going to eventually give here? >> i think it's tough.

you've been on this for a few years during covid, the other thing you have to add is taxes. so the combination of high taxes, homelessness and crime, it's hurting a lot of the larger cities. it's not just crime, but a lot is the homelessness issue. and what we need to do, we have to get back to making sure there's a rule of law and we have to -- >> sandra: you don't hear a lot of democrats making that point, robert. >> listen, rule of law is what makes america america and not a third world country, i think we have to step it up and san francisco, tech is struggling, is going to be hurting and see it benefit other areas. >> sandra: still raising taxes on those that stay. tyler, i don't know how much longer this can last. the words of some of the crime victims who have lived through the mess. >> hit with the -- with the people. >> apocalyptic, what's going to happen. >> get off the bus, a lot of

homelessness, and drug dealing going on, kind of sad. >> we don't have enough police officers walking the beat. >> sandra: tyler, the "daily mail" estimates in this exclusive this is costing $200 million a year, the businesses that are exiting. they are now bracing for a $1.3 billion budget deficit in five years. why aren't they waking up and doing something about it? >> unfortunate i think things are probably going to have to get worse before they get better, before politicians change course and i think what the clips just illustrated, the sad reality the cost disproportionately fall on lower income people. the private equity guys, the venture capital guys, they can move to houston, to dallas, miami, but who suffers are the people who lose employment when cvs and h and m and gap decide

it's too much, we are leaving. resident homeowners whose values take a hit because of the crime and lawlessness, and higher home and auto insurance premiums because of theft. and the people ultimately hurt when the transportation revenues dry up and they have to go to work on creeky infrastructure and deal with crime and lawlessness. >> sandra: and you can put on the screen the businesses and familiar names who say we cannot do it, h and m, abercrombie and fitch, and the big whole foods, said we cannot keep our workers safe. they tried to hang in as long as they could and they could not do it. and robert, making matters worse, the stores are shutting, so those hanging on, paying the higher taxes, they can't walk down the street, makes it worth living in the city to begin with and now the office vacancy rates are on the rights. san francisco 2022, rates have

topped 16%. you are almost at one out of five offices empty, compared to 6% in 2019. i would say this exacerbates the crime crisis, the see something, say something people on the sidewalk. >> you've been spot on with the k-shaped economy, the have and have notes. when you have commercial real estate, you know, either people not going back to work because we are not back in the offices n they have the zoom, more like in san fran than other, and crime and homelessness, and banks will get hit by it. i agree with what tyler was saying that this hurts those who are, you know, looking just making a steady pay, it hurts them the most. >> sandra: for some funding the

far left prosecutors coast to coast, making matters worse, the crime situation, i'll bring this to your attention, tyler. george soros, the headline in the wall street journal, handing control to his 37-year-old son now who says i'm more political in the first interview, says the $25 billion philanthropic enterprise will boost for abortion and political rights, and we will have to do it, too, if the other side is doing it. what does that say about the future of politics and these american cities who have been paying the price? >> well, i think the cost that we just discussed could be considered the short run costs of bad policy. i think the longer run costs of bad policy and in particular bad jurisprudence, the open society foundation seems to be promoting, is it can be immensely corrosive to

confidence and trust in our institutions and the very fabric of our judicial system and that is really corrosive to long run growth and prosperity. i think it was adam smith who said the key to prosperity in the wealth of nations is peace, easy taxes and tolerable administration of justice and i worry very much that over the longer run we are corroding trust in our legal institutions and i really hope the soros foundation moves away from that. >> sandra: and he said, the son, he plans to continue using the family's deep pockets to back left leaning u.s. politicians. curious your thoughts on this, robert wolf, a democrat. >> yes, i know george and i've met alex. we have money in politics on both sides. my view, they do a lot of great things, too. open society gives a ton of money to philanthropic causes, whether it's education or human rights, they do a lot of great things. with respect to politics, where

we live as a society. the wealth, you know, kind of drives politics, whether it's what's going on with the nra, over 90% of the people think -- >> sandra: we should just accept it. >> no, i wish we could change it, but we are not going to. a supreme court case that allowed it and this is where we are. >> sandra: one last final question, dow up 100 points. axios printing a piece, the timex economy, as in the watch, keeps on ticking. what is happening here? as much as tyler so many republicans look at the policies under this president and say this is the worst thing in the world for the american economy, it does keep chugging along. albeit not great for people, we see poll after poll people do not feel good about the finances, comfortable living paycheck to paycheck, but seems the markets and the economy keep chugging along to the axios

article point. quick thought. >> quick thought is newton's law of motion, tends to stay in motion unless acted upon by an external force. it takes a lot to push a big modern economy into an outright recession and it takes shocks and we have had a major shock in the most aggressive interest rate tightening in 40 years but a lesson of economic history is typically it takes a succession or cluster of shocks in order to generate an outright period of contraction. >> job market is strong but inflation hits everyone every day. that's how people see it in their pocket books. >> sandra: we'll keep watching that, as we begin a brand-new week. great to have you here in new york. tyler, thank you. >> john: stunning rescue of four children in colombia, survived 40 days in the jungle after a plane crash. how they did it and their mother's ultimate sacrifice that helped save them.

obviously they want to discuss strategy one day ahead of tomorrow's hearing here at the federal courthouse in miami. additional federal and local officers are coming in to maintain security at the courthouse because of the high profile nature of the defendant. bill barr, who served mr. trump as attorney general says this is one case where his former boss deserves scrutiny because the white house documents he continued to hold after he left office were highly sensitive. >> he had no right to maintain them and retain them. and he kept them in a way at mar-a-lago that anyone who cares about national security would -- their stomach would churn. >> mr. trump will be staying at his doral golf resort until tomorrow's hearing and then return to his club in bedminster club in new jersey for comments and a previously scheduled fundraiser. supporters say he's prosecuted an aggressively for who he is

rather than what he did. >> most republicans believe we live in a country where hillary clinton did very similar things and nothing happened to her. president trump will have his day in court. but espionage charges are absolutely ridiculous. >> on social media today, former president trump continues to strike defiant tone and shows no signs of backing down in his campaign for a second term in the white house. sandra. >> sandra: live in miami, jonathan, thank you. >> john: the democratic national committee is not planning any primary debates for the 2024 election but the vast majority want to see the president on the debate stage against another democrat, cassie and patrick, did i say governor? >> i got a promotion, from congressman to governor. >> john: sorry, what the script

said and my brain did not react quickly enough, but got it on the back side. governor, let's start with you. so "u.s.a. today," do you believe there should be a series of democratic primary debates, yes, 80%, no 16%. so that would be an indication that the democratic electorate wants to see joe biden on stage with patrick kennedy and marianne williamson. >> i say president biden as announced re-election, an opponent never elected to office, no debates. no debate when jimmy carter ran for re-election in 1980 against ted kennedy and not going to be one now. >> john: you notice i looked it up and he stole -- i was saying when we were talking during the break, i could not find any example of an incumbent president on either side being challenged to a debate and agreeing to a debate. ted kennedy tried to get carter to debate him before the

convention, carter said no thanks. >> no thanks, what's in it for them. if you are incumbent, you enjoy the protection, from the dnc and the media, and donald trump was never elected to office, but different with biden not only did the polls show time and again people want to see something different, they are not convinced joe biden is still the right man for the job but it's not just him the right man. his policies have been under water since the disastrous withdrawal from afghanistan, but people have liked him personally. that has since changed. now he's underwater with the american people and so are his policies. people who said maybe i kind of like him, they are looking for someone new to support. >> i respect your opinion, and the facts, we went through a horrible global pandemic joe biden has help create 12 million new jobs, stock market was up 10%, inflation is high, it was 9%, now 6%.

>> i respect your talking points. >> they are facts. >> they don't feel that way. gas is high. >> gas is a dollar cheaper since last year, going down the right way. >> john: inflation did go up under biden. and now back down. it did go up under biden. the screen here, the reason why biden does not feel the need to debate. 58% support among democratic voters, kennedy 15, williamson 6, 20% are undecided. even if they went to the other candidates, biden comes out on top. miami mayor says maybe i'll jump into the race for president. what he said with shannon bream. >> if i decide to run next week, hopefully i'll make the debate stage on august 23rd and continue to be part of this conversation of bringing young voters, suburban women, to bring in people from cities into the republican party. >> john: he's well-known in miami-dade county and florida,

not so well-known outside of the sunshine state. but he was elected initially with 86% in 2017, re-elected with 79% in 2021. this is a popular guy who knows how to win elections. >> in miami, and a lot of excitement around him, maybe a future star of the party the bench is deep and we are excited about. i don't know that it's going to change the dynamics of the race but i think for democrats who try to say republicans are the party of old white men, it's hard to keep arguing that when you see this young dynamic field of republicans emerging. >> john: here is how old i am. i was living in miami when his dad was the mayor, xavier suarez. take a look at tim scot, francis suarez, two of the democratic parties worst nightmare. they represent typical democratic constituencies
