pepcid complete. arthel: we begin with the brand-new foxbusiness pole for a whforwhite house race. showing former president trump a clear front runner into key primary states in iowa at the the firstin the nation nominatee trump has a 30-point lead over his closest rival, florida governor desantis. hello everyone welcome to "fox news live" i have arthel neville, hi eric. 's report hello everyone thank you for joining us on this sunday i'm eric shawn. mr. trump dominates the first of the south the primary that is a state of south carolina paid the

state's former governor nikki haley while she is running a distant second period another palmetto state politician, he is also pu pulling well there. senator tim scott, senator scott is in fourth place for just ahead of him as florida governor desantis. while the santos continues to trail the former president, voters in both states say mr. desantis would be their second choice if donald trump drops out. arthel: another florida presidential hopeful miami mayor will join us in a moment to talk about his abid. first alexis mcadams with live on the new poles. the polls. earlthe early on motorcycle her present donald trump and at least two states right now. take a look at the new foxbusiness poles we just got into debris trump leading by 30 points and the epi and survey of iowa republicans rounding out the top three is for governor

desantis who sits at 16% followed by south carolina senator tim scott. scott has been climbing on the hawkeye state which could take away some voters from ron desantis. we go to south carolina for it is a similar story trump has a commanding lead in the palmetto state almost half the south: a republican primary voters say i will back the former president. believe he has what it takes to beat out president biden. lagging far behind in the state where she was once governor is nikki haley, then desantis. hopeful karine jean-pierre said in "fox news sunday" to shannon bream he's not bothered by this poll is planning on getting support after the debate, listen. >> i am the one candidate in this race was actually leading us to something. to our vision of what it means to be an american. that is resonating with voters across the country great i began in march of 0.0% in the polls. the national polling averages i am consistently pulling at third nationally. that is ahead of even the first

debate with many people in this country have not yet got to know who i am. i think we are on the same a trajectory or ahead of work donald trump was in 2015. >> voters look forward to hearing from these candidates on the debate stage, pulling among iowa gop caucus goers show 59% of voters believe skipping out of the primary debate shows weakness. this all comes as we wait to hear if donald trump is going to show up to the debate, as we heard him talk to maria at just the other day he's given no indication is going to show up he is ahead of the polls but he didn't qualify to be on the debate stage. fox news is gearing up for the first republican presidential primary of the 2024 cycle for the primary debate by that is going to be in milwaukee on august 23. arthel: and ma mark your calend, august 23. eric: and our next guest regionally jumped into the credit republican nomination race in the new fox news a business poll miami mayor

francis suarez stands at 1% in iowa and is even less than that in south carolina. both are critical states and the republican nomination. but, izzy b is he bothered or wd about that? no, miami mayor francis suarez joins us now. mr. mayor, welcome. >> it is good to be with you. eric: why are you running for president? >> i am running for president because i feel i have a unique set of qualifications to deal with the nation's biggest problems. the nation's biggest problems are the massive deficit we have incurred. i'm the only candidate who is actually cut a public-sector budget by 20%. which is the exact amount we have to cut our federal budget by. i'm the only candidate who can confront the immigration crisis in our country bread which is a multi- decade multi- immigration crisis. as a hispanic republican candidate, being the only hispanic from either party running i am in the unique position to solve some of the difficult negotiations that are going to have to happen to solve

immigration for our lifetime. and the third is confronting china. i am the only candidate in the field that has actually converted an ecosystem, a city in this case to being the most dynamic city in the country. with the lowest unemployment rate, the highest wage growth and the lowest taxes in its history. and a declining homicide rate to print something that's not happening anywhere else in the united states. eric: you talk about immigration. divided minute administration was seeing what's happening at the border. how can you possibly? >> we have to treat it like the crisis that it is. it is a human trafficking cr crisis. iit is a fentanyl crisis it. we are 80 -- 90000 americans are dying every day. it's i've often said it's an equivalent of a 747 crushing every single day. if that was happening in our country would stop everything and treat it like the crisis that it is and we are not doing that. we are not using the resources necessary. instead we are hiring a bunch of irs agent. instead we are trying to

increase the system by which you allow the waiv wave and release policy to continue. we should be enforcing our border. using technology. we should be reinforcing the numbnumberborder patrol as we n. of course the wall. anything that can be put to bear to solve the problem should be done in an emergency and crisis basis. it is not happening right now and it will not happen under biden's administration i am convinced of that. eric: in terms of someone taking action on that locally governor desantis you are a fellow republican and are running against him. >> i am running against him and i'm running against all the republican field because i feel have unique set of qualifications to be president. in addition i am someone that is a unifier. i think for our party to be successful in 2024 and beyond, you need to find someone that is to grow the party. i was elected by 85%, reelected by 80%.

we are going to have to bring hispanics to our site. were going to have to bring that have done in miami-dade county which was plus 30 for hillary and now it's plus 10 for republicans since i became mayor. by contrast the republic governors congressional district of jacksonville was plus 25 for the prior mayor who was republican. when he endorsed a republican candidate they lost by four points to a democrat. that is eight negative 29-point swing in favor of the democrats. so my policies work. they bring people over and that is what's one to take part not just when the 2024 election but to win a generation of elections. we also need young voters went plus 26 or biden. that is unforgivable for us to use on a young voters. we should be able to win those categories which would provide us a large electoral college victory in 2024. eric: you talk by uniting the country. you think for president trump is capable of doing that? >> i think the former president,

as we all know, i'm not going to say anything that is out of bounds in a sense, he is in the leadership position in this race by a large margin. i think the only way for another republican to get elected and it part of the reason why i am happily and excited 30 days into my campaign we have raised a significant amount of money. we are in the polling threshold we have 30 days to go for the first debate. there is a lot of shuffling going to happen and the non- former president side. we are seeing the governor obviously go down. you dish out a couple of polls where he is barely in second place in iowa and has lost second place in south carolina. he is also losing ground nationally. there's a lot of reshuffling going on. think republican voters are looking for something fresh, new, different, inspiring aspirational. i've a track record of doing that. have a vision of articulating that. what time the more people get to know meet them where they're going to like it and gravitate toward my candidacy.

eric: the former president is leading in the republican polls now. do you fear he could be damaged goods when you deal with the general election? a lot of different electorate than the gop primary base. >> yes, that is right. but what you have got to look at is voters and how disastrous joe biden has run this country. when you consider domestic policy or you have had record inflation and record interest rates throughout his entire tenure, and the poor get poorer. the democrats are supposed to be for the poor. but in 'bidenomics' the poor are getting poorer for they have lost purchasing power and have more borrowing costs. foreign policy has led us to the brink of potentially another world war. he is a weakness and an negligent withdrawal from afghanistan and bolden putin. putin has now invaded ukraine. it has created a situation where all people in our country are divided. particular republicans are divided on this issue.

it is sad. we have no hemispheric strategy which is creating poverty in our hemisphere. pushing immigration pressure. we have tried it china knockingr doorstep with the military -- the thought they're going to create a military base in cuba. and they've already established a spy base already. i mean it is crazy. so that is the issue. the issue is the alternative. eric: finally mayor, they say where are you writing it for not going to win in this sort of thing. let me show you some historical polls about presidential races. must go back to this time basically 2016 pitlick who is ws number one, jeb bush. called by scott walker, remember him? marco rubio, donald trump is candidate number 11. he is pulling out 1%, basically this time 2016 is exactly where you are. let's go back further than that, 2007 hillary clinton way ahead of barack obama.

and my personal favorite 1992 1i will caucus the first democratic contest bill clinton avalanche against him. he is got 2.8% and of course went on to in the white house. you do not give up hope. do you think you'll make the debate here on fox on august 23? >> that is why keepsake i've got them right where i want them. before he got the right we want them? >> yes. no, look we feel very confident but obviously as she said we started late. we are relatively unknown. i think we have a great story to tell. we have a great background. i like to think i'm a good candidate and a person who is able to articulate my vision and the vision for this country. which ice i think is inspirational by that as a people are looking for we see shuffling already happen. we see people dropping other people emerging. so time is going to be our ally. getting on the debate stage is essential for it with alcohol but we will be there the five opportunities. i kind of think of it on being the show survivor. you want to make from one

episode to the next without getting kicked off the island. eric: that is you cannot let you go without talking about miami. quickstart half million people saw his announcement that's half the population of the world. when you consider the fact we beat two powerhouses in barcelona and saudi arabia i think that says something about what we we are doing in miami. we have a privately financed stadium the city is going to generate $2 billion in revenue you have the most coveted athlete choosing miami over every other possible. the lowest taxes come the lowest crime rate and of course the lowest unpleasant rage. that creates harmony and happiness in the city. that is where everyone wants to live. eric: mayor francis suarez who happens to be the lionel messi of politics. good luck, perhaps we will see on that stage. thank you for joining us on this

sunday. if i've knew reaction from both sides of the aisle over fbi form released by republicans detailing an alleged biden bribery scheme. the document claims that hunter biden and his father, joe biden, quote course the ceo of burisma to pay them millions of dollars to help get a ukrainian prosecutor investigating the company fired. lawmakers also weighing in on the irs whistleblower testimony from last week. let's get straight to lucas tomlinson with more on if the whistleblowers claims haven't proven false or discredited, lucas? >> arthel, so far no one has come forward to discredit those whistleblowers. on "sunday morning futures" the house of the judiciary committee asked the question many americans are asking, where did the biden family get all of its money for a man who first came to washington as a senator when richard nixon was president, and has not worked in the private sector since? >> or the biden zone to get the

money? twenty different shell companies nine different biden's getting paid what was he service, ocs product, was the value? only logical explanation is his access to then vice president biden maybe even before then senator biden. >> just to recap the events over the past week, in case anyone was on vacation, arthel, to career irs agents have supervisor and deputy testified hunter biden received over $17 million from foreign sources. a date later and unclassified fbi document released by iowa senator chuck grassley claims a ukrainian american informant says the head at that ukrainian energy company burisma or hunter was a board member paid joe biden and his son $10 million to get that ukrainian prosecutor fired. he was investigating the energy company. >> it appears he made in political interference from political appointees within the biden administration, shut the whole thing down. and we have a situation where the career of public servants are saying we think we had enough evidence to move forward

on a much more substantial criminal charges. i got quashed by the political appointees it is disturbing friendly. >> now hunter biden makes his first court appearance wednesday where he is expected to plead guilty to two misdemeanor tax charges and the felony gun charge by the irs agents testify they never saw the fbi document, were not allowed to interview the family and say hunter was tipped off a key search during the investigation. they think felony charges should been leveled in nc president son or blocks from higher-ups. >> why this scandal is becoming one of the most significant of my lifetime? if half of this is true we are dealing with a major scandal in the united states. >> the white house denies these accusations from that the whistleblowers former house speaker nancy pelosi both irs whistleblower here in the court clown show. she does not believe a word any of them said, arthel. arthel: alright lucas tomlinson thank you very much for coming up will speak to florida republican congresswoman and get

her reaction on those whistleblower claims and more. eric. eric: she says she tried to stop some thieves and she was fired for. exceed your old or 68-year-old low's employee and georgia lost her job she got socked with a black eye after trying to stop a robbery in the store. the thieves got away with more than $2000 worth of stuff. jonathan serrie live in atlanta with more. she got fired for trying to stop a robbery? >> that is right, eric. this happened at the lows in a rink and it's a small suburb just outside of savannah in south georgia. three people went into the store, loaded up shopping carts with a $2100 worth of merchandise in attempted to leave without paying investigators say store employee attempted to grab one of the shopping carts. that cart was in possession of suspect barry who allegedly responded by striking the employee in the face three times for that employee was

68-year-old donna hansbrough police say the attack caused her right eye to swell up and a black and that's not all according to police low's estate adonis action grabbing the cart was a violation of their policy she was terminated as a result. she had worked for it low's for 13 years. >> i enjoyed working with the people i worked with. i enjoyed helping the customers. i enjoyed everything about it. it's like having your perfect job. that was mine. >> police say the assault suspect and her uncle joseph and barry the man is seen here, remain at large. a third suspect is in custody on unrelated charges. as for donna's termination, legal experts as part of an increasing trend of corporations seeking to protect themselves about potentially costly lawsuits from injured employees, shoplifters and innocent customers. >> the philosophy is were going

to make a calculus of what's going to cost more for us to run the risk of stopping this person with a $2100 worth of merchandise, or we will let them have the merchandise because our potential liability and the potential for bodily injury to either our employee or other people is just too high. >> and eric, california is currently considering legislation that would ban employees -- make employers from requiring their employees to confront shoplifters. supporters say it will protect workers. critics say it will only encourage more crime if shoplifters realize they can steal things with no consequences. eric: giving them a free pass some would say give donna a metal. jonathan thank you. >> a lot of people are saying that, yes. eric: thanks jonathan. the five guys, the u.s. could sue be facing the biggest strike

it has seen in 60 years. some 340,000 ups workers could walk off the job as soon week if a new deal is not reached. the teamsters union which represents drivers and package loaders, is pushing for higher pay and safer working conditions. ups ships on average 24 million packages per day and as responsible for nearly 30% of the countries shipping. before country music star jason aldean perform less that in wisconsin praise now speaking out about his controversial video. you know it has gotten a lot of backlash across the country. that shot it to number one for the music video and his song try that in a small town, has come under fire because some people say it has a racial in violent overtones. aldean directly address the controversy when he was on the stage in cincinnati on friday night.

>> what i am is a prayer proud american. i'm proud to be an american. [cheering] [cheering] i love our country. and i want to see it restored to what it once was. i love my country. i love my family. i will do anything to protect that. [cheering] super critics have been saying try that in a small town music video has racial undertones. aldean denies that and says what is happening is an example of cancel culture. arthel? arthel: irs whistleblower speaking out on the hunter biden case. republicans have more questions and want more answers. that includes florida congresswoman kat cammack. she joins us next. muscle, bone, and heart health. yaaay! woo hoo! ensure with 25 vitamins and minerals

>> the ultimate reason why i came public was there's a lot of things i saw that were improper and not following proper procedures. i understand this was a politically sensitive case. but at the end of the day it was a matter of no, you cannot do that. let's think about it. and at the end of the date we

were not following all the evidence we should have. arthel: that was irs special agent turned whistleblower joseph zigler speaking to fox about his testimony on the hunter biden tax probe. he claims prosecutors quote slow walk to the investigation and that not charging the first son with felony tax charges despite evidence against him was a violation of d.o.j. policy. zigler said an independent attorney is needed to fully execute the investigation. the white house maintains meanwhile the probe is being handled independently by the justice department for joining is now florida republican congresswoman kat cammack. happy to have one start the recently released form fd 10 to three and unclassified fbi document detailing unverified claims for it as you know i'm setting up for the audience how hunter biden and his father joe invited allegedly coerced the

burisma the ceo to pay the biden's millions and millions of dollars in exchange for helping to fire the ukrainian prosecutor investigating burisma. of course these claims have previously been debunked by a u.s. attorney appointed by president trump. also by president trump's justice department. attorney general bill barr launched and close the investigation in 2020. so, congresswoman tell our audience what new discovery is in form fd 1023? >> good to see you and thanks for having me. the 1023 form is a verification of a credible source who is a whistleblower confidential informant coming forward and reporting on this if in its incident for the fbi had a long time to investigate the claims that were made in this form. and the fbi, they drag their feet spread i would highlight also the obama administration

had raised concerns about hunter's involvement with burisma as joe biden was trying to quote unquote tackle corruption in ukraine. so the fact the obama administration took issue with this then is recent enough for us to be investigating. and then for democrats to downplay the importance of this 1023 form i think speaks to your justice system that we are seeing play out here. we know there are issues. if it walks like a duck and quacks like a duck, it is a doctor. and in this case it is corruption. arthel: explain the process again to our audience. the process to confirm those allegations. >> so, with the 1023 for we have individuals who come forward but in this case a confidential informant who had worked with the fbi for over a decade. had credibility in the system. it was known to provide verifiable evidence for the fbi is supposed to investigate those claims under these forms. but under the classification process that had not come to

light except for members of congress. when senator grassley learned about its existence after the fbi denied its existence, then he took upon himself, it was declassified and released to the public. because of the fbi political leadership and top brass not noe winning two of us get this. i think the american people deserve to know and wondered $13 billion on ukraine aid whether or not the biden's are compromised when it comes to officials in ukraine. arthel: indeed. i have and you as part of congress will help to confirm those allegations, correct? >> absolutely bread that is our job we have a constitutional duty for oversight. and quite frankly the american people demand it. arthel: let's get to hunter biden and the tax case. is it scheduled to appear before u.s. district judge mary ellen this week on wednesday. pertaining to his tax related charges for the justice department officials are on a record but some of them say they might testify after that

hearing. i ask you congresswoman, what questions related to the tax charges or form 1023 do you have for the d.o.j. officials? >> so many and i do not know we have enough time to cover it. outletslet's are the fact he hax years of not paying his taxes. yet he is only been charged with two years. never mind when his drug charges started, his rap sheet began in 1988, the year that i was born. this man has 35 years of criminal activity on his record. and yet he lied to folks on his background check said he had not been a drug user. he was not eligible to own a weapon. he also was at that point in time, evading his tax payments. so why was he cut such a sweetheart deal about the gun charge as it was a tax charges? i mean that right there proves if your last name is biden you are subject to an entirely

separate set of rules and laws when it comes to paying your taxes or even following the law. that is the first question why did he get such a sweetheart deal when he is not eligible given his criminal background? that's a number one question i want to know. and why are the democrats continuing the cover-up? why wouldn't they, as a push for 87000 new irs agents to go after everyday working class americans, under the guise of everyone should pay their fair share paid why are they demanding hunter biden and his 20 shell companies pay their fair share? arthel: you are right that is a question many americans want to know. it seems like people who have means they can evade tax -- not paying taxes and other folks are struggling to try to make ends meet and they are the one getting targeted or audited or what have you and making, you know how that goes but let me find something else but i have a little time to quickly. because last week you announced the regional airport has been

awarded a $6.3 million grant for infrastructure improvements. so, congratulations. how are you able to accomplish this and you have advice for congress on achieving the same level of accomplishments for our nations infrastructure? >> well, thank you for that i appreciate it. florida, the free states is a growing 1000 people a day are moving to the ¢-cent-sign state. as such our infrastructure has to grow and accommodate not just for five or 10 years down the rows but for 50 years down the road plus. at this many people coming our infrastructure needs to be updated. one of the things i would encourage mike colleagues to focus on is actually investing in real infrastructure. we had infrastructure deal last congress that was over $8 trillion but only 9% of it went to actual infrastructure. we need to focus on our roads, bridges, our highways, increasing plane capacity. updating our airports. i tend airport delays yesterday try to get home to florida from

washington d.c. let's get secretary buttigieg back to work and let's focus on real infrastructure not so-called infrastructure that is racist or requiring certain things that have nothing to do with info structure. arthel: the computers going to cut us off so thank you congresswoman kat cammack for joining us today. we will be right back, thank you. oh, booking.com ♪ somewhere, anywhere... ♪ ♪ i just want to lie motionless in a chair! ♪ booking.com, booking.yeah ♪ ♪

media company. tweeting as soon we shall bid due to the twitter brand and gradually all the birds. here's one a possible look musk once you sending out this flashing neon x logo parade greatreaction so far seems mixe. remade after buying the social media platform. for $44 billion last year but he said he wants to create a super app like wechat in china. he's also pulling the people about change the default color on twitter from blue to black. about 75% so far are saying yes. it would be one of the many changes since musk took over twitter including laying off three quarters of its workforce to cut costs. naming a new ceo and adding eight teller a month subscription service. this of course comes as a musk as compared with mark zuckerberg and met his new app threads. a textbased version of instagram. 100 million people signed up for threads in the first five days of its launch. and on its website twitter said

the bluebird logo is its most recognizable asset and that is why they are so protective of it. so we shall see if this iconic bluebird doesn't fly away. arthel: christina coleman, thank you. erica paired. eric: from birdies at two ufos. we have heard a lot about ufos lately. seeing those shocking videos from fighter pilots of things zipping around they cannot explain. this week ufos to be the focus of a house oversight committee hearing, that is on when separate lawmakers accusing the government of covering up the truth. congressional correspondent chad pergram now with more. >> tim believes the government is hiding something. >> we have had a heck of a lot of pushback about this hearing. we are don't the cover-up and. >> bipartisan lawmakers are suspicious of their own government. >> rumors attendant to flourish in places where the federal government is silent or not transparent. that is a scary thought they do not trust us to progress

lawmakers tried to review photos talk to pilots who saw things. but the military stymied them. quick sale hiding images and information pick with two navy pilot said they spotted strange things in the sky will testify at an upcoming hearing. one third whistleblower and former air force intelligence officer david claims the military has possession of a nonhuman spacecraft and potentially the remains of it extraterrestrial pilot. doubts the reported technology belongs to u.s. adversaries like china or russia. bucks of russia owned it they would not be battling it, it will be over by. >> kevin mccarthy is a ufo skeptic. >> i think if we had found a ufo, i think the department of defense would tell us because they would want to request more money. >> the subcommittee will come to order. bucks 2022 indiana democrat andre carson trade the first hearing on ufos in 50 years. he is concerned how people might react if we are not alone.

>> we saw what happened with more of the world. we saw it happen in 1948. we saw what happened with radio programs in the 30s and folks were jumping out of buildings. quick senate majority leader chuck schumer wants to create a special agency to declassified u.s. ufo information. as part of this year's defense bill. on capitol hill, chad pergram fox news. eric: we know the air force studied 12000 sightings of 1947 -- 69. 701 sightings of unidentified objects, not explained. coming up, what china is doing. we will explain that great dock that rebecca grant on new threats to taiwan. versus 16 grams in ensure® high protein. boost® high protein. now available in cinnabon® bakery-inspired flavor. learn more at boost.com/tv

can manage our way through that. to make sure we sustain these lines of communication. that we continue to talk. and that we work on as i said both dealing with the differences and seeing if we can cooperate. that is the way we are approaching it. it is the responsible thing to do. eric: though secretary saint antony blinken explained the policies of the bite of ministration after he held meetings in beijing with chinese officials. this, as a communist country is showing well sub new worrying display of force dealing with taiwan. it sent dozens of warplanes including fighter jets and bombers tore the independent island nation. this comes as taiwan's military set to conduct its own annual defense exercises this week to try and protect against any possible communist chinese invasion. will that come? doctor rebecca grant is here with national security military analysts. president iris independent research and fox news contributor. doctor grant it seems like china

is a polka, poke, poke, poke, poke. that's what they're doing. what is the tripwire for these aggressive actions to potentially turn into an actual invasion? >> that is it a question. what would b baked xi jinping really move toward invasion? we do not know the answer. we have to be prepared to be the pentagon often talks about the year 2027 as being a problem. china is building up its own nuclear forces. it is part of trying to deter any response to innovation. but there are other things happening right away. one of those in fact is taiwan's own elections coming up in january. do not forget a lot of this in military activity is designed to try and give china military more experience at the same time that it allows xi jinping to threaten taiwan politically and pushback against the u.s. and other allies. eric: do think the biden's

approach to beijing is buffering them? is holding them back? or is it potentially giving them more of a green lights i can tell you biden's diplomacy is just not working. we have had blinken, john kerry, secretary yellen over there. they all came home basically empty-handed. and then we see this a big package of fighters and bombers flown against taiwan. all of the diplomacy has not made taiwan any safer it's clearly not deterring xi jinping from continuing to show off his rising military power. eric: what should the administration do? >> deterrence is eight number one priority. we all know that. there are real specific steps i would like to see them take. it would help to do it more u.s./taiwan joint exercises. they have their own exercise this week but i would like to see our attack helicopters print our f35 doing joint training on

taiwan. to make the points that hate xi jinping is not worth trying to invade or to do a sudden decapitation attack on that island nation. eric: do you think he has that message right now or far from it? >> no, i think he is still deciding. he's looking at its own domestic economic pressures. he is trying to influence the taiwan elections. there's part of the taiwan electorate that wants to be more appeasing and cool it off. he's trying to influence them. i do not think he has that message enough. we need to make sure that our military really shows its strength, our willingness to uphold the rule of law and defend taiwan have our allies from china to japan participate. eric: with the appeasers women taiwan? >> very interesting question. that would lead possibly two more negotiation between taiwan and china dare to have a strong economic relationship and i do not know it makes taiwan any safer.

taiwanese its own military drills and needs the extra assistance we are sending patriot missiles, f-16s, reaper drones. it needs the armaments package so that taiwan is strong enough combination of 23 million people to say hey, we are a democracy we deserve to be here. xi jinping back often. off.eric: they certainly do prey much in the parade of a biden administration officials who went to china to sit down and talk. henry kissinger, 100 years old who opened china under president richard nixon of course sitting down xi jinping there. he really got to the truth, what did henry tell them? do you think xi jinping listened? did he give him the straight stuff? >> xi jinping has had so many visits. bill gates, henry kissinger, that's about making shooting pink look like a big world later. but i think henry kissinger of old would have been very strong on military deterrence he always

understood that was key and real politics and world politics as a kissinger message that goes straight to strong military deterrence to keep xi jinping backed off. eric: it may be he told him just that and said i am 100 years old i can say what i think. we will have to find out. doctor rebecca grant always good to have you, thank you. >> thank you. eric: will have more news here and "fox news live" when we come back. and this rookie pro... profers fresh sliced turkey. and if we profer it, we know you'll prefer it too. glad you made the cut. you mean slice? seriously? my most important kitchen tool? my brain. so i choose neuriva plus. unlike some others, neuriva plus is a multitasker supporting 6 key indicators of brain health. to help keep me sharp. neuriva: think bigger. -dad, what's with your toenail? -oh, that...? i'm not sure...
