unfortunately given the nature of trouble ministrations counter-productive erroneous policies i'm very pessimistic about what's what lies ahead and think that this will have very negative real cautions war iraq's security and stability at a time and the country after years of fighting terrorism and so on. will likely last back into another round of instability and mayhem and that is not you know something that anybody looks forward to and this administration again is using this as an excuse to deflect attention from the impeachment process and we need to look at the domestic sources of this policy and not you know by the our fish our narrative that escape goats the iraqi militias for what is happening because there's no solid evidence that this particular group is behind that rocket attack in kirkuk and you know there are a lot of potential candidates that could have done that in order to trigger a crisis so i think that the u.s. is verging on the process of becoming trigger happy and the trial by ministration is trying to you know look presidential at a time when the impeachment proce

citizens so when we talk we told the ministration of the u.s. administration the trump of this race and we told them. it's our problem that 2 100000 southerners but it's your problem that 200000 u.s. citizens who are under age the going to send them back to work and we send them back to their country their country the united states they were born here they don't they didn't even know us i was in there never been there so it's your problem we've talked about one superpower i want to ask you about another raw using power in the world and that is china and you recently came back from a visit in china the previous administration 18 months ago switched from diplomatic recognition of taiwan to recognition of beijing you before you took up your post was somewhat critical of china you said china medals in democracy your most recent comments though you're going to get a big investment you say china is going to provide gigantic norm refundable cooperation can i work out where you stand on china on. you sticking with beijing or might you switch back to rec

the chopper ministration finalizing rules of sister catered technology to china, the commerce departmentgeting products like 3d printing and finally acting on a 2018 law that was passed to keep sensitive technology out of the hand of rival powers. joining us tonight swor senior cybersecurity expert, morgan wright. read to see a. delighted to have you with us. let's start with huawei, it's not mention but where are we with huawei, is it or is it not a consensus national threat? >> absolutely it is. if you look at some of the new legislation that came out, phase one of the radio, and it is $1 billion to do what you and i talked about millions of times, to get the technology the lungs to them out of the united states and replace it with technology and companies that we trust, there is a billion dollars in there to help the smaller world telecommunication companies replace that out but the bigger issue, while we clearly are a threat, were paying money to replace herself right now. the next part will be the intellectual-property part, are we going to do enough to protect the sensitive technol

the amount of money we spend on the ministration of healthcare is crazy. why don't you talk aboutra the healthcare and how much insurance actually cost as part of the healthcare dollar. host: let's talk. guest: if you have a managed care plan then the insurer is doing more than just sitting there. and insurance will say they have a lot of programs for wellnessog and prevention but the bottom line, we spend more than other countries, we don't consume that much more healthcare, we just pay more for, prices are too high. the insurance industry which would arguably have a say in bringing those prices down has not done a very effective job. so we have basically a price problem and a health problem. it is beyond medical care, there are housing issues and food insecurity issues and social determinants of health that are huge if we could take care some of the social issues the nation's medical bill would likely go down. host: you're talking about the nutrition side. guest: everything. nutrition, housing, transportation, it is the things that surround and determine

ministration in the obama biden administration cheating and participating in a shakedown scheme where we were selling access based on where a member of the second family had unexplained employment agreement. if we were able to do that we would free up the president to do the great work of the country and we can get the answers that you raised. >> as you recall back a few weeks ago they decided in judiciary not to take the vote at night because they wanted the vote to be in the morning so all america could see it. isn't that a good argument to get into the senate, with all due respect the senate dealing with impeachment will get a little more attention than oversight. >> i think if lindsey graham brings hunter biden before he judiciary committee it will not matter whether it's impeachment or oversight. i think will be tuning in but where i'm from they call that all hat and no cattle and that's what we saw from house democrats. everything from theatrical performance of adam schiff from thewhole deal was driven for television because they had no actual evidence. >> it is sad and honestly

. >>> the finance minister of france threatens a strong response of the trumpet ministration goes through on a proposal to hit many french products with tariffs of up to 100%. the trumpet ministration proposed the tariffs on french cheese, champagne, handbags and more, retaliating for a tax on global tech giants that include google, facebook and amazon. that is likely to increase tensions between the united states and europe and also sets the stage for a tense meeting between the president and the french president macron. the president took aim at mccrone earlier today while meeting with the nato secretary- general in london. >> france is not doing well economically at all. they are starting to tax other products. therefore, we are going to tax them and that is taking place right now. we are doing their wives and everything else. it is a tough statement to make when you have such difficulty in france. >>> the us tariffs could double the price american consumers pay for french imports and that will come on top of a 25% tax on wine imposed just last month over a separate dispute over subsid

should be seeking information is that is absolutely right ok and then you said that the trumpet ministration has in fact cooperated and facilitated congressional oversight investigations that cracks or might just yes or no is that correct absolutely they trumpet ministrations participated in oversight during the entire congress until it got to this impeachment inquiry so let me ask you about this call sir robert blair kaiser just not fair robert blair who was on this call the trumpet mr drazen the president self directed him not to appear and give testimony on a very let's i'm glad you know i'm asking did the president direct him not to appear give testimony yes or no i think he was allowed to come if agency counsel he was not allowed to come under the terms set by the house intelligence committee correct i think he would have come with agency counsel of troubled ministration directed him not to come correct he would've provided testimony i think even if agency counsel could have kamin it's really expensive to hire these outside lawyers john eisenberg was directed not to come correct the law

. >> the general deregulatory thrust in this ministration, the president came in with the goal of twoatory initiatives were one regulatory and use all the last administration there is $420 billion in cost put on families and small businesses in the first three years and this president has done 50 billion for the cost of regulatory entities. if you look at the top regulations over the next few years it will have an impact of $220 billion of the economy at large. it's a huge impact in the president was able to hear about it from businesses today. >> a lot of small business owners are middle-class americans, when you look at the proposals from the candidates, democratic candidates on taxes whether healthcare, at the end of the day even though they say they will tax the rich and go after the rich and the rich needs to pay more, some of those costs will fall on the middle class americans some of the people that are starting these businesses, what does the white house have to say to those people about those policies and when everybody is weighing everything and balancing everything, the imp

but at the trumpet ministration sanctions have become a political tool of choice in the often simply. automatic reaction to anything that the president takes issue with in this case is apparently no different because president trump has officially signed a bill which will require him to impose sanctions on any foreign companies and individuals which are involved in the building of nordstrom to no money of course no no to is a huge $11000000000.00 it's a pipeline over 1000 kilometers long running from russia to germany and essentially it's going to flood the european continent with russian gas at a faster and cheaper rate than anything else currently available on the market but since the very beginning washington has had a bit of a problem with the project the united states commands all our european partners who have taken a strong stand against north stream to. and we commend others to do the same germany is totally controlled by russia because they were getting from 60 to 70 percent of their energy from russia and they knew by the way this pipeline if completed would make europe even

despite the rhetoric the trumpet ministrations rebalancing the relationship the trade war has cost 300,000 jobs but has done nothing to force the long-term competition there is an old saying that great leaders make decisions but for seven generations from now looking at china right now we see a president that does not keep his decision seven minutes from now. he is creating chaos. look at one three-week period on august 1st and then august 13 day down the back in augus august 20th to go and keep promises. and to focus the efforts on trade enforcement efforts not with that far off balance of power in asia and we won't want to do so at the expense of others including america. to be competitive in the global economy and to repair the alliance in standing up for us values and democratic freedom. but also we will not allow them to break from the international system with civility and prosperity and to ensure the military is second to none over any adversary. we want to ensure that our troops are best equipped in a world and also we should not be trapped in a false logic. virtually every analysi

communication that can be used to talk about the other areas we were discussing now that trumpet ministration began its 1st term by essentially repudiating the use china policy over the last couple of decades and at times it sounded as if it wanted to undo the entire system of state. after all as i mean. 9 people like steve down and present to china as waging a war on the industrial democracies of the west is that still how china is see in washington are at least within the trumpet ministration in your view i think one thing that's worth noting is that this wasn't just the trump administration you can actually if you look at articles in foreign affairs if you look at the discussion among u.s. pundits the view of china has changed in this country to my mind wrongly but there is a sense that china was as you see launched in a systematic assault on the international order as the united states understood it that has not changed with the trade deal and it's unlikely to change in the near future with that said. it seems to me that abroad especially if you look at japan or if you look at russia if y

where richard white says and victor didn't spell out the trumpet ministration there but i suspect he had that in mind when he said no world leader should take it as a walk in the woods when it comes to negotiating the deal you cry zation of north korea is there a sense do you think richard or is it justified to have a sense that perhaps the trumpet administration underestimated the task. i wouldn't say that i mean the people who have been presenting the administration's logic have said well you know it's we there's no good solution here with we launch a military strike we couldn't happen a war if we do nothing war end up with at least north korea with nuclear weapons perhaps japan south korea and other countries we can rely on sanctions and that i would add that has actually been one success of the administration's policy the sanctions have increased and including those imposed by china and russia the one unusual step president trump took which was against a recommendation i'm a think tank people don't let yourselves only from doing minded interrupt you to richard but how is that a s

attempts to make those transcripts see the light of day have so far been stopped by the trumpet ministration. to do the ration of donald trump which suggested our colleagues to dispel all baseless suspicions let us publish that close journal correspondent starting from october 26th scene to november 27th seen so it would become all very clear to people unfortunately the current administration refused to do so. we all ready to publish that correspondence and already talked about that. and all suggestion is to publish i repeated for a 4th time to publish that data that would show how russia responded to the special channel which was designed for reviewing threats also i've been networks now the bone of contention between russia and the united states is the i.m.f. or rather the absence of the deal now and both parties of both ministers have kind of clashed as to how they see the moving forward for instance the russian foreign minister sergei lavrov has again. said that we could use that the countries could use the start treaty that had been signed back in 2010 but mike pump a 0 has voiced his c

china, one long-lasting part of this agreement, the ministration official says there's real enforceable protection for intellectual property of companies. the details of commitment to a number of areas like trade secrets, pharmaceuticals and trademarks and patents a as well as online infringement. it also addresses partly the force transfer of technology by removing the requirement that foreign companies have to partner with the chinese firm. the other big section of this for short-term is agricultural bias. as senior administration official said chinese agreed to buy 40 - 50000000000 about a hundred dollars of agriculture for the next two years. it also has enforceable language. the president saying farmers will need to buy bigger tractors. >> they've already stepped it up. my deal with them was two months ago and they had us in good form and i said do me a favor and start buying agriculture, they started their early buying. even before the deal is signed. reporter: the president says china will buy more manufactured goods as well as services from the u.s. and a senior ministration off
