pompeo. think about that funding in the broader context i've just laid out and ask yourself, why didn't they do those things? was it an oversight in the mad rush to get weapons out the door after mr. pompeo made that emergency declaration? did those questions fall by the wayside. the answer is of course not. the emergency was declared specifically so that the state department could avoid answering those questions and how do we know that? because those are the precise questions congress was already asking, that's why we held up the arm sales. what are the risks? what are we doing to reduce civilian deaths? this is a deeply damning report. now that we've seen it, the findings into the ig's firing make more sense. namely that state department officials have been trying for months to suppress the findings. in his testimony, mr. linick said that mr. bulatao and mr. spring attempted to bully him by saying they should not be looking into this matter. of course it's an entirely legitimate for an ig t

mike pompeo: yeah, it's a good question. i've gone back and read the histories we thought we'd land when we challenged the soviet union. no one had a sense how that would unfold. i will tell you there's much to unfold here as well. we know what it will ultimately look like and we into that the chinese communist party will make decisions that we'll have to respond to. but what it looks like, it likes like a world that is controlled and operated in a way that freedom loving nations and rule loving nations and law-abiding nation will come to love. not by a regime, or have the states under their economic um -- under their economic thumb. what it will look like inside of china, ng that the chinese people will have a heavy say in and the chiensnese communist party will have to the make decisions. they're not ten feet tall. challenges faced inside of china as they attempt this play for global hegemony. and i hope that what everyone on the call will take away is the theory so many have been talking about for the past 10 years. it's

pompeo wanted to tell mr. a cart before starting at ig? >> there was no statement of that that i recall making to mr. ambassador. i will tell you what i remember. when i said to him, there is a huge trust deficit between the department and the ig. the leadership of the department including the deputy and the secretary, all of those leadership, really wants to find a person who can help to restore and build the bridges under that trust. >> and all of that that you just relate, is information that you would be able to relate, directly to mr. eckhart. that would be something that the secretary would need to impart to mr. eckhart. >> no. >> do you know whether secretary pompeo, wanted to convey to mr. subjects that should be stayed away from in terms of ig investigations? >> secretary was not involved in any of these discussions regarding trying to find a replacement. he was not involved and i want to have a conversation, he has i have no recollection of those statements. >> did he have any role at all in the choice of mr. eckhart? >> at the v

last year i asked you about the timing of the emergency declaration knowing when and secretary pompeo briefed congress on may 21st, he made no mention whatsoever of any emergency. >> you said three days an emergency created to require a declaration. >> yes. >> your testimony here in are in those intervening days an emergency arose? >> yes. >> but an emergency did not pop up the department was cooking up this emergency almost two months earlier. i gave you the chance then to correct yourself but you double down laying out the history with this emergency declaration but that doesn't change the fact your testimony that arose was not true for you lying to the committeeee or did you have that information? >> i cover this fully in my august 17 letter ando a copy provided to the chairman but yet again nine set the record straight i stand by my statements the factual basis to reflect the certification. to be clear between may 21 and may 24 the secretary made the decision do to the emergency circumstances which we enumerated in my testimony you did not show the entire video i reject you to pub

and his wife, susan pompeo.department aide told tony porter, named tony porter, told congressional committees last month that she helped with that task, and she felt uncomfortable with it. now, that investigation, that interview that she provided, is part of the hill looking into firing of state department inspector general, steve linick. he was the state department watchdog when the investigation was opened into the potential misuse of government resources by the pompeos. and the issue here is that he was then fired. he was fired by president trump, but he was fired at the request of secretary of state mike pompeo. and so let's listen to how pompeo defended his wife when asked about this last night. >> the fact that they're picking on my wife, who has done yeoman's work as a volunteer, trying to make life better for every officer at the state department, i find pathetic and sad. but we'll keep doing the right thing. keep obeying the law and doing everything that's proper and we'll leave the state department a b

mike pompeo is cracking down on the communist party of china.ompeo's goal is to level the playing field and respond to the restraints china already has in place on america. this comes as tensions with china seem to be reaching a fever pitch. yesterday the pentagon reported china's plans to double their nuclear stockpile in the next 10 years. and today during an interview attorney general bill barr issued this warning. listen. >> those three countries, russia, china and iran, which is the most aggressive in this area? >> i believe it's china. >> which one? >> china. >> more than russia? >> yes. >> why? >> because i have seen the intelligence. that's what i have concluded. >> joining us now with more is united states secretary of state mike pompeo. thanks for joining us. >> great to be with you. >> like wise. tell us about the actions you have taken against china with respect to the diplomats and why you took it? >> we took the simple action of telling chinese diplomats working here in the united states that the free ride is over. their ability to

secretary pompeo, we have a lot to discuss. china and your recent trips to europe and their connection to china issues. let's start with the middle east, though i know you have a few prepared comments. my first question would be looking at the long-term implications for the u.s. in the region of this accord, how does the u.s. alliance structure look longer term? what does this shift strategically? whatever opening comments you have and let's dig into the middle east. >> thanks for having me. it's great to be with you all today. it's a big day. as soon as we wrap up here i will head over to the white house for this historic opportunity for these three nations to sign documents that will recognize the reality. that's where i begin with the respect to the trump administration's approach to the middle east. i have prepared remarks, i'll skip them for the sake of having a good conversation. the strategy began with the reality. for decades this town's foreign policy with respect to the middle east gave the palestinians a veto right t

secretary pompeo has been very vocal about this is. connecting those. is you havef that companies leaving china. when you arrest australian reporters or threatened to arrest them because of something that's happening in australia, you now have zero australian reporters in the prc. businesses will feel the same thing with this new national secured he law. you say38 says if anything derogatory about the prc, you are subject to arrest. all these things work against that juggernaut that you described of this inevitability of chinese domination in the global economy. at the same time, we are seeing great cooperation on the economic side. $2 billion to restore taiwan. the world's greatest chip manufacturer is looking to re-sure into arizona, creating american jobs. i don't think it's as inevitable as they would make it sound. i think the u.s. has been able to generate cooperation with its partners in the east asia pacific region and elsewhere as everyone recognizes. thank you. >> thank you. i know my time is up. i want to underscore the importance of combinin

in the meeting pompeo reiterated that the u.s. .ds chinina claiaims to resosources ross m of the southth china sea as completely unlawfuful. the waters are claimed by china, taiwan and some asean members. >> beijing doesn't respect the fundamental democratic values or those enshrined in the asean charter. independence, sovereignty, equality. don't let the chinese communist party walk over us and our people. america will be here in friendship to help you. . >> the administration of president donald trump is taking an increasingly tough approaoac against china's activities. last month, it imposed sanctions on chinese firms for their involvement in the construction of artificial islandnds in the south china sea. at the east asia summit, foreign ministers meeting on wednesday, juan ye accused the u.s. of being the most dangerous opponent to peace in the south china sea. >>> switching gears now to a check on the weather are our meteororologisist sayakaka mori. pelele dealing with ththefry r and thunderstororms o on thursd. what's the lat

pompeo noted the united states along with the eu have made clear to russia the u.s.ill hold those responsible accountable. navalny is an outspoken critic of russian president vladimir putin. he fell ill on a russian flight last month and was taken to a hospital in berlin. a major german magazine on thursday said navalny appears to be getting better and is able to speak again. the magazine added he's also able -- he also said he probably remembers the details of what happened before he lost consciousness. last week, german chancellor angela merkel said test results showed the nerve agent novichok was used to poison navalny. the substance was developed during the soviet era. putin has denied his government wawas involved, calling the acaccusation totally baseless. a russssn spokesperson reiterated they will not investigate the case. >>> walt disney is facing a babalash overr its release of oe of the biggest movies of the year. some critics are calling for a boycott of the live action remake of "mulan" becausese the film was partially filmed in a chinese region w wheref

i think the terms that pompeo used was to induce change in china.that is, to use the levers of power, economic, political, military to bring about change. he pointed out the chinese leadership is not united. xi jinping sidley austin power in 2012 has undertaken a massive purge. if you understand the nature of the communist party system in china, it's very much like a mafia system. controlled by powerful families, some of them in shanghai, some of them in beijing, some of them in other parts of the country and they operate on a family level. they have stolen billions and billions of dollars from the chinese people as part of this modernization that is been underway. once again i got to complement the trump administration. i think they're very much following a policy that ronald reagan followed in defeating the soviet union. and that was going after china's ability, inability to develop technology and innovate. we understood they had been stealing use technology and intellectual property to the tune of 250 billion a year to as much as 600 billion a ye

in terms of the caribbean, secretary pompeo is in the caribbean today. two countries that helped that held successful democratic elections. our long-lasting relationship with the caribbean. last year we invited all of the caribbean members to a resilience conference to talk about other countries can work together with the united states to combat disaster resiliency in the face of hurricanes. we continue to engage the caribbean. in addition to that, the caribbean is home to four countries that have diplomatic relations with taiwan. we continue to reinforce those relationships. taiwan is closely monitoring and enhancing their relationships with those countries as well. in recognition that beijing is constantly trying to flip those countries. >> thank you. we will now move to senator romney, who is supposed to be with us virtually also. >> i am with you virtually. thank you. i want to begin by expressing my appreciation to the members of the panel for the work you are doing. i think it's the most important work that's going on in our government. i think the

>> secretary pompeo has been talking about the last two years he has been secretary of state.to the bipartisan national governors association. one of the things he was able to get declassified, he revealed was the fact that the chinese keep a scorecard of sorts of governors. so they have them, friendly, persuadable, not persuadable. i don't think most of the governors knew about it until he gave the speech. one of the things that the secretary was telling the wisconsin legislators yesterday, all state and local leader you have to remain vigilant of the activities of the chinese communist party representatives here in the united states. they will have things like what we designated a few days ago, confucius institutes on university campuses. the state department just last month in august, we said these confucius institutes are actually propaganda organs of the nine cheese communist party. they have to designate themselves as a foreign mission. they are officially part of the chinese government. you have things like that, whether confucius institute on a university campus or gov

firstly, i think secretary pompeo is absolutely correct.iggest thing is trying to prevent iran from trying to modernize weapons and warfare. we know that iran is the largest state sponsor of terror. you see that with the mut huthid hezbollah. we know they utilize non-state and state threats to target israel and other nations in the area. there is a right though o to pre security necessary to try to stabilize the middle east region. the failure to do that i think puts not only the united states and our allies at risk but the entire global war on terrorism. todd: what happens if the allies like france and britain don't support us in this? >> i think we can't look at the u.s. as explicitly listed under article 31, which names out what they consider to be the jcpoa participants, we have a right to youth lies that snapback. if not, we can utilize the nonproliferation act, the war against the united states terror act, but we can also look at domestic sanctioning and also hold the un members accountable to try to continue to trade deals as well as

as we heard from secretary pompeo, the four decades of war.hich hasn't been touched by this devastating conflict. so as you heard earlier from dr abdullah abdullah who talked about how proud he was to open these historic face—to—face talks for the first time on behalf of afghans. from the taliban, they spoke through their negotiator. there was a much more sombre message, talking about the need for patience in these talks. talking about their commitment to peace and that got him a round of applause from his taliban delegation. but as you mentioned, an emphasis too on what has already been agreed. and he is referring to the deal reached between the taliban and the united states in late february, here in doha. which commits the united states to leave, for all of its troops to leave afghanistan from next year in exchange for taliban security guarantees. the taliban are very much emphasising that this was a deal that they made with united states. they still don't recognise the afghan government which they describe as a puppet. fires continue to wre

in my mind i said i will lighten the mood and make a joke to secretary pompeo. he joked back with me a little bit. i said mr. secretary to the only person here who hasn't killed somebody and he said yeah you're the only one. that wasn't the answer i was looking for so we had that exchange with the sit down for the real meeting to take place for things to kick off. >>host: you say you were the first mom who became a white house press secretary. a lot of your book is focused on motherhood and the role of the children in your life and balancing that role to be a wife and a mom and a role at the white house you don't shy away from getting into that. you talk about the epidural with your first child and you go there. but you also tell some stories about the stress you felt about missing things in your kids lives. one example you had to pretend your sons birthday was on a different day because you cannot be there on a specific day so share some stories about that and what you describe about being a mom and press secretary. >> in addition to wanting another side of the

secretary of state mike pompeo was in doha earlier for the start of historic peace talks.nd afghan government are finally set to negotiate a power-sharing deal. let's go to sam kylie who is following the talks from abu dhabi. so, sam, by all accounts, these negotiations are fragile, but what did the u.s. secretary of state mike pompeo have to say today, and what kind of role might he be playing? >> well, they have played a key role in these negotiations. no doubt about it. they opened negotiations bilaterally with the taliban at the beginning of this year, encouraging the two sides, the african government which are allies of the united states and its allies to get into talks with the taliban. there was a very fraught process of prisoner exchanges and so on involving 5,000 taliban prisoners held by the afghan government. a lot of them very high value targets in the bad old days if you'd like. nonetheless, they are now at a position where they're going to be talking. there's a lot of pressure coming from the american administration to get this sorted ahead of the election fo

there so many interesting anecdotes that i didn't know about may be where secretary of state mike pompeo there so many great things i wanted to ask you about. >> one of the reasons i thought it was important to have an entire chapter is because it's a big part of the presidency that has always been covered but not a deep dive of all the behind the scenes. so i wanted to highlight that and share my experience watching president trump as a leader on the global stage and i felt there was a good entertainment value because they are so many interesting moments that had never been reported and i wanted to share that. certainly having made a start on the actual summit day itself with dennis rodman joking with the president and chief kelly that was quite the remarkable day to go down as one of the more memorable days of my lifetime. >> as the president was landing come apparently he wanted to tweet getting ready to land this is his only chance he will live or die.
