shannon: chairman of the house select committee on tighter publican at mike gallagher warned that this week in the u.s. must take seriously the threat posed to taiwan by china. it's encouraging congress to speed up military aid to the enjoyment out maryland democratic senator ben cardin pretty sits on the senate foreign relations committee among others. undercard of welcome back to "fox news sunday". but she understood to be with you. shannon: asserted china. there is conversation about not making mistakes of ukraine of pre-equipping people before an invasion that we need to do better with getting military equipment to taiwan. here's what how support affairs told our aishah hasnie just weeks ago. >> you think we are prepared for this to happen in the next five years? >> i sign off on all florida military weapons sales we have a problem with our defense industrial base. these weapons i've sign off on to taiwan, 22 weapons sales i signed off three years ago. they have yet to go into count country. shannon: center, three years ago and now it looks like another round of provocation from ch

interesting, mike lee, republican senator from utah who was a fairly close ally of donald trump and mike gallagherrising star in the house republican orbit there, close to leadership, the chairman of the select committee on china. these are the kind of folks who you would like to see if you're desantis or in his camp beyond your team if and when you announce presidential run and, by the way, even by having their names on this announcement, probably putting a little bit of a target on their back with donald trump and his political allies, so what comes out of this meeting whether there is any kind of obvious takeaway tonight or tomorrow, it does sort of affect the longer term trajectory for all these folks as we head into 2024 >> so, tara, it leads me to the obvious question, if you're a congressional republican, how worried are you about the fallout from the former president if you show up at a desantis event >> well, if history is any indicator, you should be very worried. we all know that donald trump holds grudges and this is part of the reason why many in the republican party have not taken it

>> representative mike gallagher who runs the china committee as it is called in the house he is the chinese police station that had been shut down in new york. that was run by actual chinese dip hoe mats working fon the ministry of state security. these other ones being target the are run by people not chinese diplomats or official cover people. you're starting to have congress draw attention but what we look is presidential leadership. not just this administration. donald trump want ad better deal from china but didn't prepare us for a significant military buildup or the economic consequences of what his trade representative, bob lighthizer called strategic delinkage. the idea we say, listen, there will be a period of transition. don't mean we go to zero trade with china, starting with things like pharmaceutical ingredients and consumer goods that were avoided intentionally by the trump administration because they didn't want tariffs to smack people in the face with higher prices, that we're going to have potentially inflation from this as manufacturerring moves. the government has

congressman mike gallagher on the select committee on china, they're leading the bipartisan group ofing with executives from some of the biggest entertainment and it can companies in the world. both of those lawmakers were at yesterday's meeting between house speaker ken mccarthy and taiwan -- ken mccarthy and taiwan's president. congress really showing here they can still put politics aside and put on a united front to take on china. >> >> speaker mccarthy and this bipartisan dell division are here to send a simple message, and that's we are not afraid. we support our friends in taiwan. >> our bond with the taiwanese people is unshakable. we will always support them in defending their freedom. >> reporter: so while all of this was going on stateside, a separate bipartisan delegation landed in taiwan overnight, stu, as china ratchets up threats against the island. stu? stuart: all right, thanks, grady. the president of taiwan met speaker mccarthy in california yesterday, and this is what she said after the meeting. roll tape. >>> however, it's no secret that today the peace that we h

maria: well, mike gallagher was on the show a couple weeks ago, he said it's likely next year, 2024, his soft approach to china and there's an election here and there's an election in taiwan. so both are distracted. >> yeah. and look, he's absolutely 100% right. 2024 sounds like the year because i don't think the chinese can take the chance there will be another u.s. president that's not named joe biden, joe biden has demonstrated his weakness throughout his first three years and i don't think he's going to change. he's been wrong on everything for the last 50 years. and he'll be wrong again and so china's going to take advantage of that so, yeah, 2024 unfortunately could be the year. >> congressman, hi, james freeman of the wall street journal. speaking of upcoming elections in taiwan, i'm wondering if the president gave you any thoughts on the politics in taiwan as far as the approach to resisting chinese aggression? >> you're talking about president sai? she didn't talk too much about the elections. i don't think that we want to get involved in those elections, steer one way or th

liz: so republican mike gallaghe r, he's chair of the house arms services sub committee on cyber informationhnologies and such. he's saying basically this is a worse intelligence failure since 9/11. >> yeah, absolutely, and here is the problem is look at this from the chinese perspective. what just happened? they violated air space, they collected intelligence data and the president dismissed us and do you think that's a deterrent for the chinese coming after us again in the future? liz: okay lt. colonel james cara fano commenting on the chinese spy balloon. thanks so much for joining us, it's good to see you. we're staying on the weakness in the da bragg's case against donald trump and they are now coming in and working on motions to toss it out. we're going to explain why it's weak. we're going to stay on the story for you and we've got new details emerging in the house probe of the hunter biden and the biden family overseas business deals and congressman tim burgess, more on what is that black swan event that could hit a 2024 race for biden or gavin newsom if he throws in his hat. it's th

probably the lowest in relationship with the united states and france, i mean, tom cotton and mike gallagher just said, unconscionable macron would not only make the statement but fly to china and do so. he's doing it in the backdrop. and you have an ongoing genocide against the uyghur people. you see china's territorial expansion, hear the rhetoric from all corners around the world what they are saying, their plans for a new led world order with putin, put communist, the chinese communist party at the front of that new world order that they want to lead. so, for france to do this, especially at a moment when you have seen the united states so behind europe in the russian aggression and the war in ukraine, france has been, let's be honest, france is doing the minimum. wherever there is a war on their own continent and i've talked about and warned for quite some time i don't know the french or germans are going to be with us in a china fight. macron has clearly put that on now on display for the entire world to see and so the you state must ask ourselves who are our friends, who are our allie

in a new letter on chinese police stations operating across the country, chairman mike gallagher raisinghat the fbi was unaware of the secret police station in new york city prior to public reporting. we were among the first to report that there was a chinese police station in new york city. how did they not know it? how the did i know it and they didn't know it? >> yeah, maria, you should deserve a lot of credit. you and fox business have been all over this story and it's been publicly reported and so that's why the select committee under the leadership of chairman gallagher, we sent a letter back in february to the fbi and said what are you doing about this? we know of 30 public reports of chinese police stations engaged in trans national repression in the united states and elsewhere, being spied upon by the chinese communist party. we knew about this and we wanted to know what is the fbi doing about it. we now see the fbi taking some actions against a chinese police station in new york city with the arrest of two individuals, chinese individuals, and also charges against 44 chinese na

mike gallagher during the china committee, the two most important ones on running productive hearings, given what you know about how agencies respond to hearings? yes, i have been both the obstinate person at state department and subject to an obstinate secretary clinton. yeah, i've seen them both. the best can do is make sure that you show with people who know answers to the questions you intend to ask. that is, don't don't bring folks who for the purpose theater bring them because they are subject matter knowledgeable whether they're in administration or experts outside. and second do your best to get the panel to be organized and disciplined because at the very least if the person on the other side of the table doesn't want to answer questions. you're not going to you're not going to cleverly goad them into it. but if you lay a logical sequence of the questions you present, you will force them to give you more than they intended. and stay on the mission, less grandstanding, better lots of preparation by the members themselves can you were disciplined in your questioning i remember
