committee has not been able to focus on critical threats like the threats we face from china, russia, north korea, iran, terrorism. none of those things have been in the purview of the intel committee because they have been focused on this sham impeachment effort. with that, i would like to turn things over to the republican leader of the judiciary, mr. collins, to talk about the hearings tomorrow. as you will find out tomorrow, the sideshow of the schiff report is coming to the judiciary committee, where it should have been to start with. it should have been in our committee to start with. the committee failed miserably on so many counts this year. it was actually taken from us. what is more said about tomorrow is we are coming back not with what you have always seen an impeachment, and the history of clinton and next in, the judiciary committee was waiting, it does not anymore. with, going to start it let's talk about when and impeachable offenses. if the democrats already know they need to impeach him, why are we wasting time? i will tell you why, because we have a problem. they just came out

spend military spending we spend more than the next 7 countries combined that includes china russia north korea all of them that's that's an insane amount of defense spending when you really think about it in the global scale. i mean why do you think we've gone so nuts in terms of just funneling money into the military without any kind of check and balance. well i think for starters the united states has always kind of righted itself on its military might and that's part of what we saw you know again going back to the afghanistan papers rather than admitting defeat in military conflicts we have people who present inaccurate information who aren't being honest and straightforward with taxpayers and with citizens so when people are very trusting of those who are providing this information and perhaps they shouldn't be they are basing these numbers off of things that perhaps they should be again united talked about this the other week when the afghanistan papers came out that you know we need to have a just a more critical look at i think not just defense spending but defense operations as well so

proposed a new measure and it's lifting parts of the sanctions against north korea and they proposed that with together with russia however japan and south korea they have not commented yet on that suggestion and the problem is that i mean japan and south korea they're both close and i guess with the u.s. and they're basically stuck between the interests of china and. the u.s. so i think we cannot see in the short term any big breakthrough because north korea has given the u.s. a deadline they want sanctions lifted and that's basically the main concern of them and i don't see any breakthrough in the conflict all right so if japan north korea south korea rather are not going to agree to lifting part of this these sanctions what other measures could they take to at least get the dialogue restarted between the u.s. and north korea i mean communication is important and they've basically stated that they want to solve that conflict politically diplomatically and there's no way around trying to because china is basically the economic lifeline of north korea they keep the regina life and also they are the critical factor

north korea and iran, china and russia.nteresting, china and russia are connected to north korea, but north korea is also connected to iran. we have not talked about proliferation and north korea's extensive proliferation around the world. china does not want north korea as another problem. i also think china and perhaps russia are exploiting the korean situation to their purposes. korea is the shrimp among whales. amongographic location, many great powers. it is a problem we cannot ignore. we cannot go back to strategic patients or say we have to deal with china and russia. china and russia will exploit the north korean situation to undermine. the statements today were in effort to do that, by putting the blame on us. that is one way they are exploiting north korea for their purposes. >> anything to add? >> o -- no. >> right here. i am the political advisor to u.s. command in korea. i am so honored to be here today. timing --only the timely topic, but we have never had this maximum pressure ever. thing.tion is one how can

russia. china north korea iran and terrorism over the long term we should expect russia to test our alliances purpose stamina and commitment the irony in all of this is that a recent poll found that half of american military families see russia as an ally television back and that u.s. bases that they somehow missed the years long tidal wave of and see russian propaganda almost every major us network definitely had involvement in the american election russia was meddling in our election russia harvested american rage to reshape u.s. politics how the russians are trying to turn the tragedy to their advantage to target almost every major american social movement what the hell's the point if the target audience the troops that are supposed to protect america from that imminent russian invasion n.b.c. promises coming any allen now if they american troops don't buy it but of course the brass has an excuse merican troops refusing propaganda shoveled down their throats for years actually get this the victims of russian machinations ha. there is an effort on the part of russia to flood the media with

as you see yes because in the past the sanctions on north korea were weak and porous there are a lot of complaints about whether china or russia were fully implementing them and in so far as there wasn't a lot of pressure on north korea to come to the negotiating table that was giving them a reason to just go ahead and develop their nuclear and missile potential at one in the. u.s. library isn't that exactly the scenario we're looking at now even with more sanctions on the table it seems the north korean leader is signaling he might be resuming some of those activities weighs the success. if you're looking ahead then i mean i would say that there's been success in the past 2 years victor gave a couple reasons i'm given a couple more you are right there are we are now looking at a path at every question we could see resumption of missile on nuclear tests resumption of large scale u.s. military exercises in the region i remember a couple years ago terrible it was every time north korea launched a long range missile the debate in washington as well should we attack them now or can we wait a bit so it could very well go poorly and

russia and increasingly also from south korea and china. here in kenya being god she is maya is something of an exception. i salute the singers from overseas are much better than us this is why is that for us and them to understand to training up. there are 24 state conservatories in germany. but their graduates don't always amount to much. from sponsorship on the 20 young americans auditioned for me i could hire 19 of them and me and i but if i auditioned students in german conservatories before the 19 of them on employable. maybe one. last time so obviously there's something wrong with our system. about us we could learn from those other systems that are doing something right. this i always thought that germany's conservatories were world class but it seems that the standard of teaching let students down. close the nursery possible that the best voice teachers on here are overseas because they were unhappy with the conditions here. and just keep going there are very few teachers actually experience the stage 1st. spoon and. they know this

moreover singers from russia the us china and south korea are more disciplined than their german colleagues that's the conclusion reached by a recent study commissioned by the bettles month foundation. but regardless of where they come from all opera singers have to learn to resist the opera world's many temptations as well as agents promising big bucks. agents have always been dangerous complex because obviously they make their money from singers keep so there are more respectable agents who really help singers nurture their voices because they have a vested interest. but if a singer goes and ruins their voice never mind there's always another one waiting in the wings i'm pretty negative in this respect. but voice needs time to develop. a singer needs to learn their limitations as a device he tells me these are the prerequisites of a lasting career. but some agents expect the impossible from singers the slight feet of hidden by the edge of a desire. i once lots of managers say look there are 365 days in a year let's do as much as possible this. gets the smog the system it's got space to fi

russia when it is possible. >> good afternoon. >> on north korea in your discussions with north korea, are you satisfied with russia and other countries sanctions enforcement and also within the past week, north korea has warned as it christmas gift for the united states. expecting them to return to a specific posture. on the u.s. and russia any closer to resolving that case? also, do you believe that ukraine meddled in the u.s. election in 2016. is that something you discussed today with the secretary? korea, respect to north we have worked with the russians appreciateent and we the enforcement level they have. they have done good work. these are not american sanctions and there's always more work to be done. there is a major event on the north koreanl workers are required in many that have been in russia, they are required to depart and we are hopeful they will be able to complete that and come into full compliance with that. , i thinkr expectations prison trump has been unambiguous about our there would bed long-range missile test, all of those that we are very hopeful the north koreans will continue to abide by

korea. >> jessica: this was always john bolton's problem with the president, when it came to people who he perceives to be the greatest threats to our national security and our allies national security. russia, north korea, after helsinki, he didn't metal in the election, he told me in the private room. john bolton was extremely upset about that and went to the sunday talk shows. i'm not sure that our is going to do -- i imagine economic sections are the first place to go, we have nearly 30,000 troops in south korea but the real concern here is for our allies in the region. prime minister abe in japan has been probably the most effective world leader in cozying up with the president, he was the first to come to trump tower after he was elected. they are in the line of fire, our south korean allies as well. i'm hopeful for sanctions that will be effective but i completely agree. and julie, what you're saying, it's clear that his approach did not work in the fact that we were talking a few years ago about the potential president winning the nobel peace prize because he had a summit with this guy, you cannot treat these people kindly. they are disingenuous to their core and we can't be fooled

area where there will be variation, and we are more optimistic about em stocks in brazil, india, russia, korean our targets down and we are less optimistic in china where that market ran quite a bit this year and is rising in more optimism. francine: the one thing you want to stay away from because you think it is a bubble or overvalued. andrew: i would not say bubble, but our biggest concern next year is probably in the u.s. tech sector, where there was a major outperform her this year. i think the market assumes it is not cyclical. the market is assuming it is immune from growth risks that emerge in the u.s. it is a sector this year that saw some of the weakest earnings , which has passed under the radar. francine: thank you so much, andrew sheets from morgan stanley. a top interview, 3 p.m., london time. this is bloomberg. ♪ beyond the routine checkups. beyond the not-so-routine cases. comcast business is helping doctors provide care in whole new ways. all working with a new generation of technologies powered by our gig-speed network. because beyond technology... there is human ingenuity. e

we spending more than the next 7 countries combined that includes china russia to north korea all of them that's that's an insane amount of defense spending when you really think about it in the global scale. i mean why do you think we've gone so nuts in terms of just funneling money into the military without any kind of check and balance just circling back to that i think one of the other challenges with this amount of money is it's it's basically intangible to the average american citizen on the $1.00 hand it's the end of the year it's the holidays people aren't paying close attention to these spending bills in the specifics that are in them but also when you put that number out there again it's $738000000000.00 the average person can't grasp just how much money that really is that is such an astronomical amount and i think if we perhaps had some some more conversations about just how much money that really is and get people to understand more than maybe they would demand more accountability of our members of congress and the department of defense in terms of how we allocate that m

in your discussions with north korea, are you satisfied with russia and other countriessanction enforcement and within the past week north korea has warned of a christmas gift for the united states, did the administration prepare or expect north korea to return to a more aggressive posture perhaps? wanting to terminate negotiations? >> in your discussions for paul welland, are the u.s. and russia closer to resolving the case and as paul any closer to freedom and also do believe that ukraine meddled in the u.s. election in 2016 and is not specifically something you discuss with the secretary today? >> thank you. with respect to north korea, we've worked with the russians on enforcement and i told foreign minister that we appreciate the enforcement level that they have, they've done good work for you and security and these are not american sanctions per se, though driven by the un security council revolutions of the russians voted for themselves. there's always more work to be done on enforcement and there's a major event on the 22nd of december where every nation is requi

thing to insure the military has a boost and capable of defending this nation, handling, china, russia, north korea. charles: talk about good news, bad news. good news, moment lessness among vets down to 37,000, decrease of 2% in the last year. it is down 50% since 2010 but, for all of us, 37,000 is still too much. what is being done there? >> well, the va has received a budget of $86.5 billion. within that we also have mental health capability, 8.6 billion was allocated for mental health. many homeless problems are associated with issues that relate to mental health issues. when you start having walk-in capability at va hospitals for veterans seeking help, these are no-brainers should have happened over a decade ago. when we saw veteran suicide skyrocket. we are seeing veteran unemployment, it dropped 37%, it is at the lowest level ever at 3%. it will be never ending challenge for this country to pay attention to the real world issues but the va and the military are those, are the heroes that have sustained our freedom. we must never forget them. we can't go back to what we had done in the past. w

good meeting with foreign minister sergey lavrov and representatives of russia discussed many items including trade iran north korea i mean if treaty nuclear arms control and election meddling look forward to continuing the dog loek in the near future russia's foreign minister also held talks with the u.s. secretary of state of the issue of alleged. lection meddling was raised but the meeting wasn't all about us russia disagreements this is not easy because don if explains from the outset it became clear how much room for improvement there is in the relations between russia and the united states one of the cases election meddling the secretary of state might bump a way has been very adamant that any interference is unacceptable by a foreign power to which russia's foreign minister sergey lavrov stressed that all such accusations still exist in the realm of speculation but we put it you suggested simply to read the mulla report we did and in it there is no proof of any collusion. also has repeatedly said that russia is ready to release full transcripts as to what was said by the russians and by the members of the tr

tokyo 2020 was supposed to be the final highlight of anastacio face he called us korea but now russia could be excluded from the games and to swim a few was cheated by her compassion as you look at the sun it's one thing not to qualify because you're not well prepared you've made mistakes but it's quite another thing when it's because you're punished for other people's mistakes so yes that would be very disappointing but i hope everything will be fine. but things don't look like they will be fine as they stand the executive committee of the world anti-doping agency wada led by outgoing president craig reedy looks likely to implement the ban recommended by their panel of experts which would exclude russia from international sporting competitions for 4 years if that happens the elim pick committee would be forced to follow suit. if there is a decision being issued according to the. 2 or the world and being no code. it's a mandatory for the i.o.c. but what exact shape the measure would take is yet to be decided some athletes are calling for a tough sanction in the form of a blanket ban o

think about where we were in the fall of 2017 when china, russia, south korea and japan were all workingng maximum pressure on north korea. and now look at where we are in those relationships now. the united states is in a very, very bad trade war with china. we're in a contentious dispute over cost sharing measures with south korea. it's reported that we're going the begin a similar dispute with japan in the new year. and japan and south korea themselves are having disputes over trade and over intelligence sharing. so the american position in east asia has been weakened dramatically by the trump administration over the last two years. >> and when it comes directly to north korea, though, playing nice with kim jong-un clearly hasn't worked. i mean, he's gotten three face-to-face meetings, as you mentioned, with president trump. you know, gained legitimacy on the international stage. so in terms of leverage, i mean, what leverage does president trump have left when he's given these gifts away? how do you bring north korea back to the negotiating table? >> so there's no obvious solution to

china, russia, north korea, countries that we put on the back burner for so many years as we were lookingt terrorist camps and extremists have now risen to another challenge and we must be ready for that. >> we are also keeping close eye on north korea. right before christmas like they have done in the past on national holidays here in the united states, this time they are warning of a so-called christmas gift. it's christmas day and so far nothing but it is important to note that we remained the dominant military diplomatic and economic position north korea is comparatively very weak and our military continues to keep us safe. when you hear about north korea, warning us of a christmas gift. he is clearly trying to send a message. the question is if it is old talk. >> kim certainly has the largest massive resources in his arsenal. since 2017 he is not launched an icbm but there is always that capability that he has that he could do. he has his own stockpile. could this be propaganda? we hope. that gift could've been a vase. we have to remain calm. so far all is well and hopefully we can r
