joining us, general jack keane. 6,000 troops. he says he could send more.were a stunt as jeff flake insinuates, then that would be an awfully big waste of time for 6,000 u.s. troops, wouldn't it? >> i find that insulting. this is a serving u.s. senator. the department of homeland security went to the department of defense and sought assistance from them because they saw these thousands of people moving toward our border, violating sovereignty. they thought they had sufficient law enforcement to deal with the problem. but all the other chores that needed to be done, they wanted the military to help with that. we have our youngsters down there protecting the sovereignty of the united states. we have a senator on television saying that action is a stunt. it's outrageous. trish: this is what's being sold, if you would, in the media. somehow these are not real images. i have had many people on the show who say it's effectively a stunt. when you see the thousands of people marching. i just -- i'm troubled by the idea somehow it's a stunt it's reality. don't we ne

maria: joining me to talk more about that fox news strategic analyst general jack keane.e in singapore meeting with leadership there, your take on the vice president's comments and how singapore in the u.s. can team up here? >> well, yes, they are very concerned. i just came back from vietnam this weekend also, they are very concerned about what china has been doing in the region for years and largely getting away with it because, you know, the united states had never truly engaged competitively against china and they think that we have a long way to make up for it but they truly appreciate the fact that the united states is back in the game so to speak and they are pushing back on china's economic and political warfare and also militarization of particularly the south china sea and i think vice president's seminole speech a few weeks ago on china caught everybody's attention in the indo pacific and that was huge step forward for the united states but most important for our relationship with our allies, so i think vice president pence will be very welcome by the leaders,

spy agencies blamed leaks on the kremlin but jack keane looks at whether the latest revelations actually prove anything being the land of the free and all the us freedom of information act is a beautiful thing promising to keep citizens in the know about their government but it doesn't always work out so well in practice one request followed by a buzz feed and a transparency group netted a top secret letter sent by u.s. senators to then president barack obama who wanted to know more about claims russia meddled in the two thousand and sixteen election so what information came out of the request well we're not totally sure the information is big surprise heavily redacted we've actually known for almost two years that the letter existed but now we can see a bit more of what the senators were demanding apart from the redacted bits of course. we are right to request to the extent possible you declassify and release the public additional information related to the russian government and the u.s. election despite the broad national interest in the topic this new information has not been provide

now to take up the troops on our southern border, much more retired four star general, general jack keaneneral, great to have you with us. let's start with this general who decided to announce a troop redeployment. what was he thinking ? >> you know, first of all, i think that the mission for the engineers which is the most visible one, they're putting the busbarbed wire up, channeling people from the caravans and reinforce those as well. the labor to do that and that job is probably done, i suspect. and they likely had a tentative date to go home. but given the fact that the majority of the caravan have not closed on the united states yet sending any troops home at this date doesn't seem to make a lot of sense to me. and it certainly didn't make any sense to the four star in charge of the whole operation. lou: are you surprised that a four star would suddenly be making public announcements about -- he had heard the commander in chief, this president say we don't talk about dates specific for when we will move troops or not move troops and announce or plans to anyone. and one would think

let's bring in general jack keane, fox senior strategic analyst here in the studio.irst of all, james mattis is at the texas border. caravan has kind of changed its navigation. they're headed closer to san diego, california. first i want your take on mattis' spreppresence at the bo and why you believe the caravan changed its course? >> secretary, wherever troops are deployed, they visit. i think the other thing that's going on here is the uniqueness of the mission. i think by being there, he knows the mission has captured national attention. he all wants to reinforce to the troops that this is an important mission that you're on. wherever troops are deployed, they'd rather be deployed than stationed at home and just training. the fact that they are deployed inside the united states, they probably feel pretty good about this mission. they understand the sovereignty of the united states has got to be protected. you had up on the screen people jumping over fences and entering the united states illegally. anybody looking at that knows that that's wrong. they will help th

let's bring in fox news senior strategic analyst jack keane and he's going to set the record straight for your time on a saturday. tell us if this latest weapons test increases the likelihood of some kind of military confrontation with north korea? >> north korea's number one issue for the size of the military they have and why they've got ballistic missiles and weapons, it's the preservation of the regime. they've felt grandfather before kim jong-un, father before him, that the ultimate objective was to change the regime out. it's likely the weapons capability as oppose today ballistic or nuclear capability and their conventional capability is significant and they certainly want the capability to overpower the south korea military. the larger issue is where are we on denuclearization? i think we're absolutely at a stalemate. gillian: do you think it would behoove president trump and the administration to help ease some of that existential angst to try and convince the north koreaens that he's not seeking regime change or step back that enissue. >> a great question. two things they wa

general jack keane said you might not want the cia to brief 100 members of the senate all at once, butgs might be important. will you be asking for one? >> i will. and i think part of the concern, of course, as it always is, is leaks. this is classified information. >> dana: right. >> but, look. here's what we need to do, in my opinion. congress needs to figure out a way to condemn in the strongest possible terms, what saudi arabia did without blowing up the middle east. and if we're not smart enough to do that, then congress isn't as smart as it thinks it is. what the saudis did was unconscionable. they butchered this man like a hog, for god's sakes. we need to condemn it. but we don't need the blow up the middle east doing it. >> dana: right. >> that, to me, is the issue. who knew what, when? we'll never know. i have assumed all along that prince muhammad knew about it, gave the order and probably the king did, too. but do i know that for a fact? no. but i made the assumption. and we've got to condemn it. but the middle east is fragile. we have no relationship with iran. we don't hav
