don't like either one so i guess that's you know that's why russia i don't i don't think china should be attacked either by the way i think both russia and china are there are the the powers that are constantly under attack by the u.s. by its propaganda by a by all the various things it does to these countries the us is actually the the key evil power in the world it's the evil empire ronald reagan used to call russia the evil empire the us is the evil empire of today no question and i just wish and hope the american people are going to wake up a little bit. more british spies be given a real life license to kill on the u.k. law controversial legislation being considered in the house of lords would protect agents from prosecution to serious crimes committed abroad this comes as a new report reveals the extent to which had been acting with impunity gets ala takes a closer look. do you dream of a life of crime are you just not fussed about human rights does the idea of going rogue excites you yes well then i've got great news and my 6 is hiring oh and don't worry if one syrian you commi

so i think china and russia will well.o adapt to that as i think both moscow and beijing felt that with the united states pulling back from some of those global responsibilities and engagement, aid give china and russia more opportunities to enhance understanding and relations with countries around the world. one of the things i think is going to be important for the biden administration to do is to really reflect joe biden's very pragmatic and practical approach to these global issues. he is not an ideologue, by any means. he is somebody who will deal with the issues by their merits, which means he is not going to look at china through a myopic lens of an enemy, there are many dimensions to the u.s.-china relationship. obviously, there is trade. there is economics, technology, north korea, proliferation, all of that. some areas the united states and china can find ways to cooperate. beas where in fact we can competitors -- we will be competitors. i think president biden and vice president harris are going to engage with china in a multidimensional way and not just consider it an act to

[inaudible] [inaudible] in a country that is ruled by china. [inaudible] [inaudible] the fact that russia and china today have complete opportunity affects -- [inaudible] it is really time to reconsider. >> at the time we think about inequality. it is not a term that is familiar to people, the average person walking around. would you talk a little bit about how much inequality, because we watch this measure of inequality and, do you have a sense of where you would like to see this move? i know directional late, but far talk about inequality and he says, i am not interested in trying to produce a perfect society, but, at the time he says the degree of income and wealth inequality that we have today, now he is writing during the great depression, is too extreme. we agreed that we have too much inequality. how much is too little, in a sense? i want to get a sense from you how much you would like to drive inequa

don't like either one so i guess that's you know that's why russia i don't think i don't think china should be attacked either by the way i think both russia and china are other are both the powers that are constantly under attack by the u.s. by its propaganda by oh by all the various things it does to these countries the us is actually the key evil power in the world it's the evil empire ronald reagan used to call russia the evil empire the us is the evil empire of today no question and i just wish and hope the american people are going to wake up a little bit. you know the story we are following today u.s. lawmakers have struck a long awaited deal on a 900000000000 dollar coronavirus stimulus package it is the 2nd really fun since the start of the pandemic but congress is expected to formally approve it in the next number of hours artie's killam up and takes a look now at the finer details on indeed the reaction from both major parties. well the united states at this point has the distinction of being the country with the most coded cases of any country in the world and furthermore

. >> whether or not it is russia, china, and iran, is there other things that we were doing or what we were paying attention to. >> i think the lessons that we learned is that you have the flat landscape. so they are partnering with them, snaufing that they have paper ballot backs. they have 95% of the votes backed up by paper ballot last month. so it is that capacity building of trying to shore up. working with the election vendors with their infrastructure as well, and just getting campaigns, making sure there are e-mail protections, and all of the dicyber hygiene. we didn't see a lot of activity. i think that may have had a problem on the 20 election day. but there was attempts, and we're very proud of the fact that a number of the states really battled them. they had the protections in place and one of the things that we did in the last two years is to partner with these secretaries of state to have our einstein monitors on near nexts. so we were better prepared. were these attempts foreign or domestic? >> i won't get into that here. let's just say there was intrusion attempts. the

when it was russia, the president said it's uncorroborated. you have chinad same charge. why does the president declassify and take this one seriously and not that from russia? >> there's two angles to this. one is okay and the other is not. the president has the right to see foreign policy as he sees fit. the russians and the chinese. >> both tried to kill u.s. forces. >> that's not correct. >> the chief's national distinction, national compunction to protect u.s. forces regardless. >> if he wants to tell the american people i dislike the chinese because they're coming after american forces. i'm not saying i like it. presidents historically, going back to the iraq war declassified stuff all the time. the part that is really irritati irritating, the reports of the lack of cooperation between the white house and the biden team. you've got three weeks before the inauguration. the two national security teams especially the white house should be talking and the white house should be saying this is what we're considering the declassification, what do you think? a

the question is if china says thanks but no thanks, does that mean we leave the table with russia. no, i don't think so. it does bring in the complication. china should be part of the discussion because of how they've grope as a military and economic power and the second thing are the new technologies. all of this is based on you have nuclear weapons because you're afraid the other side could overwhelm you. if one side starts to mistaken think think they can win it. this is why russia was rightfully so paranoid. if you can build a system that theoretically can knock out the incoming missiles and, by the way, i'm not a technical expert in this area but everything i've seen about it. there are all different kinds of ways, even when we do the tests, when we know it's coming, when we're prepared for it, our hit ratio is not 100%. so you have to believe. i wouldn't rely on that. and then the idea of low yield nuclear weapon and the idea a tactical nuclear weapon and how does that change the equation. all of those things have to be on the table. we have to think about this in one straight

learned today, and how much this then factors into the way that they have to approach, as you said, russia, chinactors? >> look, russia and from my personal experience, they'll keep pushing until they get that p pushback. and since their interference in the 2016 election, there has been zero consequences for their action. if the biden administration wants to stop this -- russia is going to keep doing this, but they'll only stop if there's that pushback. so the biden administration, if they want to counter this, it's not just about building up cybersecurity, but it's also about building up aggressive counters to these actions so russia will know this kind of meddling will not be tolerateto >> thank you for spending time with us. >>> at the top of the hour, don't miss "the week. maria teresa kumar is in for joshua jackson. she'll spoke to the florida scientist who spoke out against the state's coronavirus numbers. then the government raided her home. she'll tell us why. he'll be back to wrap up "american voices" next. ur home , here's something you shouldn't try at home... look, liberty mutual cust

in recent years, china and russia have risen to the top of theur threats, to our country ad world order. china assuming the number one rule, we remember cold war after world war two will be sought to contain and counter soviet expansionism and the deterrence we've established during that time has worked. but china is a unique challenge and none of the old rules apply to china. they are increasingly belligerent and well resourced and continue to demonstrate lack of respect not only forno the u. and closest allies the basic human rights. the chinese government continues genocide against the so-called political reeducation, nothing more than concentration camps. it is torture. recent reporting is found that the treatment in these camps often includes forced abortion, birth control and sterilization. china continues to chip away the freedoms and autonomy of hong kong, notwithstanding his promises to thetr contrary. gue so-called national security law to extinguish opposition and chinese communist party and denied the people of hong kong freedoms they were promised. as i mentioned, china doe

and rogue nations everywhere we find them. >> laura: when you say to confront russia and china, russia's economy -- last time i checked it's about the size of france? china has a larger a standing army than ours. china is poised to overtake the u.s. economy, no doubt about it. but in russia and china in the same plane -- that seems outdated. >> i don't think so. they have a military alliance. >> laura: right, which is why we needed a stronger relationship than russia. >> they are building alliances against us which we must confront. forget obama. >> laura: still waiting for that the russian reset. >> look -- >> laura: we have to roll, but i love your feed. "the ingraham angle" has breaking news on all that next. ♪ >> laura: have you seen this list so far? the list of top nominees is already the who's who of establishment retreads. none fits more so than biden's nominee for heading up the office of management and budget meant so much. the media of course loves her. >> i think he's incredibly talented. the most progressive lmp directory. >> she someone who is fearless. calling people out f

china the primary threat. i think we all understand the. we have strategic threats from russia and china. last year we had the european address. this year, the bill pending right now we are trying to get past thisr. year and i think we that, that's going to be concentrating on the pacific area, china and the things that china is doing that people, many people don't realize is driving this off. as i understand it, seven different areas where the chinese are actually creating islands in the south china sea. this was certainly different than ever done before. it is illegal but they are still doing it. the effort they are making the their. if you go to the islands where they are building the, it's almost as if there preparing for world war iii. what's happening right now. right now, we know about the hack we are facing. the new authority that allows our cyber operators to do more to find malicious actors proactively and this is something we need to get done for the defense of our country. it implements cyber solariumhe commission and recommendations. there are 27 recommendations they have in

maduro touches upon two issues that are high in the agenda for the biden administration, which is china and russia can't expect biden to take a much stronger line against russian than the trump administration did. and china continues to be very high on the agenda. if you read any of the white papers of many of the incoming people from the administration, they're all aligned and concerned about chinese influence in the western hemisphere. i don't think necessarily everything is the fairest, but it is certainly an influence point we have seen in venezuela, that china supports in helping keep maduro there. more broadly, the russia issue -- russia has very long-term plans to dominate venezuela and turn it into another cuba. that does pose very strategic threats against the united states. i believe that a lot of the incoming people in the biden administration get that. there are a number of issues. i think there are opportunities to work more collaboratively with the european union, present an opportunity for the biden administration, and they need to also go back to pushing things like anticorruption

whether it's russia, china or iran? were there other things that you were doing and were we paying attention as opposed to 2016? >> i think one of the lessons we learned from 2016, you've got the threat landscape, but known vulnerabilities so we really tried to focus on the past three years, trying to shore up the vulnerabilities and working with the thousands of election jurisdictions in this country to offer them and partner with them to ensure that, one, as you heard chris say, install paper ballot backups. and 80% of states in 2016, almost 95% of the vote was stacked up by paper ballots last month. so, it's that capacity building of trying to shore up and the other vulnerabilities, whether it's in the voter bases and working with their infrastructure as well and working with the campaigns, making sure their e-mail protections and the good cyber hygiene that they need to be employing, as well as the political parties, it was a full court press to do all of that. in 2018 in the mid terms we didn't see a lot of activit

joe biden has got a challenge on his hands with iran with china with russia. i mean how far up the agenda is venezuela going to get the u.s. it's a really good question that you're asking emraan because look any new administration in the u.s. is going to be faced with a wide variety of challenges in the binah ministration coming and it's going to be faced with an even greater set of challenges than normal because they're simply not receiving the same level of cooperation from the outgoing trump administration in terms of transition in terms of building a smooth process to continue looking at some rather complicated issues going forward and you mentioned several of them this way it is however the worst to man. tarion crisis in the modern history of the western hemisphere over 20 percent of venezuela's population is now outside of the country as refugees this is a situation that can't be ignored the question will be you know is there a policy that can really help address some of these issues and that's what people have struggled to find and it will be incumbent

russia and china. russia and china actually after the last administration, that was the obama administration, where in the last five years, that would be from 2010 to 2015, he knocked down the military budget by 25%. never happened before, not since world war ii anyway. and yet we found ourselves in a situation where we couldn't compete. now, they will argue with you and they will say we spend more money on defense than russia and china put together. and, you know, that's true, but there is a big difference. that is in communist countries, they don't care about taking care of their troops. our job is to make sure that our kids have a prosperous career, and they want to defend our country, but they also have families, they have to take care of their families. housing. housing has been a huge problem in the military. and so we want to make sure that we have good housing for our troops, not just here in the united states but around the world, and we're doing that. now, in communist countries, they give the

this is where i believe russia and china come in. russia, by the way, is more of a short-term danger. i would say china is a longer term threat. it will have ups and downs. of course a lot depends on its own internal economic performance its ability to construct this belton road nish ive. we need to push back. we cannot become complacent. investments in -- through development funds, with european union, working closely with the united states, as well as making onditions to attract private investment. this is why closer economic relations is important. they can only be fully equal nce they recognize each other. i think all of that would help fight back against the nefarious russian and chinese influence. mr. mccaul: thank you so much. i yield back. chairman engel: thank you, mr. mccaul, mr. sherman. mr. sherman: mr. chairman, it's been an honor to serve with you on this committee for decades. you are a hero in kosovo. you are a hearo in albania. -- hero in albania. and are you a hero in room 2172. thank you for your years of dedication

goodbye russia china gate which.

china is our greatest international threat. it's not russia. it's china.hi the fact that china has spent decades infiltrating almost every aspect of american society should be a well known to you at this point. our biggest corporations and even sports leagues kowtow to beijing on a regular basis. and what else? we have media establishments the bully compromised, regularly reprinting the ccp propaganda. and how can we forget california senator dianne feinstein? she outdid swallow well if that's possible. she employed a chinese spy on her staff for only 20 years. no biggie. the influence of the ccp in our free society is so widespread, so pernicious. we need congress to step up and pass legislation barring any american who has profited directly from china from ever serving in elected office. period.o no exception.ol but don't hold your breath waiting for the initiative to be announced. and i think you know why. and that's the angle. joining me now is steven mosher, author of "bully of asia. i said paulson was a bummer secretary, i'm in bush. but i

china a the primary strategic threat. i think we all understand that. i think we have strategic threats from russia and china. last year we had the european part addressed. this year the bill is pending right now we're trying to get past for this year. i think we will successfully doha that. that is going to be concentrating on the pacific area, that is china. the thing that china is doing many people don't realize the threat that's out there. we are up to seven different areas where the chinese are actually building, creating islands in the south china sea. this is something that is different than is ever beendo done before. i contend, i've always contended it is illegal but they still do it. that is the effort they are making i there. if you go into these islands where they are rebuilding, it's almost as if china is. preparing for world war iii. this is what is happening right now. right now we know about this solar winds hack. dhec we are facing. we have language to deal with that and the defense authorization bill. the new hunt forward authority that allows her cyber operators to do more work to find mali

china the primary strategic threat. i think we all understand that. we have strategic threats from russia and china. last year, we had the european part of the address. this bill, the bill is pending right now that we are going to try to get passed for this year. i think we will successfully do that. but that's going to be concentrating on the pacific area, that's china, and the things that china is doing that people don't -- many people don't realize the threat that's out there. right now, we're up, as i understand it, to seven different areas where they -- the chinese are actually building, creating islands in the south china sea. this is something that's different than has ever been done before. i contend, i have always contended -- it's still illegal but they are still doing it. they are doing it, and that's what they are, the effort that they are making there. if you go into these islands where they are rebuilding, it's almost as if china is preparing for world war iii. all of them are. this is what is happening right now. right now, we know about this solar winds act, the act that we're facing

it sits on the i'm a river that runs along the russia china bona and was for many years the far eastern capital. there is no shortage of historical sites here and the officers' club is one of them. this is when you are in december 19 14912 members of japan's quinton army stood trial. that was the only time walk women also have ever been tried for creating a biological weapon and testing at home. thank. you no one nuff said no no. no. no going to the other david elated lately no. no no. no he looked at not. the remorse shown by one member of japan's top secret unit sentence 31 p. and his colleagues killed thousands of victims while developing biological weapons . he's the guy who had been a unit 731 soldier. killed. paul johnson an american director has studied unit 731 document at length and knows its history well. unit 731 was a unique organization in the history of the world what they were trying to do was to simply do nothing short then build the most powerful and most deadly biological weapons program that the world had ever known and. japan had a longstanding interest in biological

north korea and iran right now and by far the most likely ones are russia 1st and china 2nd those are. in critical or would suspects russia but we don't know it's standard practice and the reality in the intelligence world in the great game behind the scenes. competing or hostile intelligence services and powers countries to do things that simply are harassment i know that for decades the soviets and now the russians will do things simply to harass american diplomats or officials they will slash their tires poison their dogs i know people who had their their pet dogs poisoned and killed simply to mess with the americans and cause trouble for them or hue of bump their cars and them the things that this. this is. still a level higher and because you can argue it's a cause a spell it's a cause permanent brain damage to an official of the is what's how is that different and wounding him or her in combat. so it is a mystery why they would do this and what they they whoever is doing it are seeking to achieve as the world struggles to stop the wising number of covert $1000.00 cases archi

especially given our rivals in the arctic, china and russia. today's hearings will focus on those needed investments. and the vital work that still needs to be done. we have shifted to the next region of great power competition. china and russia are outpacing investments in arctic infrastructure. that is america's only thistional i broker gapping capability creates a space for russia and china to have more icebreakers. and influence the arctic. which they are trying to do. vessel traffic safety and security, maritime law enforcement, fisheries resources management, search-and-rescue, and environmental response. inhave seen russia push all on controlling the arctic. russia has opened 16 deepwater built 14 airfields, arctic military bases and even formed a new northern arctic command. vladimir putin has referred to the northern sea route as the new suez canal, which he says russia intends to fully control. he has made major military investments to secure this route for russia, and his government has threatened to sink foreign vessels that do not h

the question is, if china says thanks but no thanks, does it mean we just go to the table with russia? no. i don't think so but it does bring in that competition. the two big convocations are china is now part of the come should be part of this discussion because how they've grown as both military, economic power. the second thing is the new technologies. again all of this is based on you have nuclear weapons because you are afraid the other side could overwhelm you. if you don't have an adequate deterrent that's how we stumble into the nuclear war one side starts to mistakenly think they can win it. new technology has changed the question. this is why rush was so paranoid about our development of missile defense. if you can build a system that theoretically cannot count the incoming missiles, and by the way i'm not a technological expert in this area but everything i've seen about it, i -- [inaudible] all kinds of different ways, even when you do the tk, we know it's coming, when we are prepared for it, our hit ratio is not 100%. you have to believe, wouldn't rely on that. then there

biden's responsibilities were russia, china, ukraine.ook over in the obama administration. where did hunter biden and his business associates go looking for money? from a russian oligarch, a ukrainian oligarch and chinese businessmen directly tied to the chinese military. this was an operation, a shakedown operation i think a lot of people would call it, and for joe biden to sit up there and say he didn't make any money, man, this isn't right, it's just not true. the tax returns are going to show just how much money hunter biden made and also how much money he may have missed paying taxes on. david: all of the money. you know, this is cashing in on dealing with the enemy. you think of all of the ways in which china threatens our future existence from the way they dealt with the covid pandemic to what they're doing in the south china sea, to how they're infiltrating american institutions, and they were trading for the security of the united states so that they could enrich themselves. it's extraordinary. john solomon, we've got to leave i
