good to have you here, mike pompeo. always a pleasure to have you.hat goes through your mind when you listen to that houthi leader basically telling to us bring it on, that they're not worried about any retaliation for what they're doing and also this report that says that the iranians are giving them the location of these vessels for drone strikes? >> well, martha, when i hear them say this, it reminds me as my time and service as cia director and secretary state. the houthis never came after us dozens and dozens of times. instead what we did, we put pressure on the head of the snake, the regime in iran. nothing that the houthis do happens without iranian complicity. this spy vessel is not a spry. the fact that the armorments, the capabilities that they have are coming out of yemen isn't because of an indigenous capability in yemen. it's because of iranian technology. this all goes back to tehran. to the extent that the biden administration doesn't acknowledge that, provide a response to that, deter it, then the kinds of statements that you her from

at that time, secretary pompeo under president trump was supporting the saudi-led coalition in yemen.any thousands of civilians, hundreds of thousands, died as well. many of them through the use of u.s. bombs. the first thing president biden did upon coming to office in the space was to suspend arms transfers to the saudi-led coalition of precision guided munitions precisely because he cared about the civilian casualties. yet here he is using the same authority as president trump and secretary pompeo to override congressional will, oversight. i think one thing we need to keep an eye on is in the wake of the decision to use the decision -- emergency authority under president trump, congress moved forward with -- the senate has 27 joint resolutions of disapproval to block these arms transfers after ruled by the senate parliamentarian they could do so. amy: josh paul, can you talk specifically about the 120 millimeter high explosive antitank multipurpose with tracer and peck tank cartridges that are part of this deal? i probably said some part of that wrong. >> i think you got it right.

that's pompeo and mnuchin. they had both denied it. there is sworn testimony acknowledging those conversations did happen. they didn't go very far. frankly, as he started to have people resign from the cabinet, there are fewer people in the cabinet to vote for it. they were talking about it. it's not just those 25th amendment conversations. you read that statement from an anonymous staffer. i think it's a very important statement. this was something that was given to me by the person who wrote it, and he wrote it right after all the details came out about the classified documents. this is a very senior official who spent day in and day out with donald trump for over a year in the west wing. i can't get any further details to who it was, but there was a lot of attention about anonymous, and we later learned it was myles taylor who worked at the department of homeland security. this is somebody who is more senior and spent a lot more time around donald trump who said those words about him, because he saw first-hand how he had operated an

secretary pompeo, thank you for being here. let's start there. with this continued activity of missiles that are found in our direction, drones, excuse me, filed in the direction of our ships in the red sea. i also heard that saudi arabia does not want us to respond too forcefully to that. what you say to that. >> the responsibility of the american leadership is to make sure that our soldiers, sailors, airmen and marines are doing the missions safely. i don't think that is the case at all today with the weapons and systems that we have in the region coming under attack. every station has failed to do the simple task of the declaring to who these are actually terrorists. >> martha: which they work. >> and within hours they took them off the terror list. i don't know what you would call them but clearly the button every station thinks it is something different. what we los and the reason is art both what happened on october 7th and the continued attack on american assets is we lost the fundamental returns. the perception of our adversaries that uni

subservient to that and anyone who thinks otherwise cannot be part of that establishment, so mike pompeoony blinken talk about kissenger in one word, and that's a huge tragedy of the american political elite, it must be said right away, the misunderstanding of this role, i do not want to say that kytsend was some kind of devil, but it seems to me that infatuation with evil is the most dangerous thing. what can be in politics at all, and another very important point that i always think about is that kissinger liked that he was very quick to grasp the moment. well, that is, he was the first to understand what they did not have time to understand. ugh, this is the quality of the european mind, if you will, there is a person who knew europe better than his american colleagues, madeline albert also, thanks to her european experience, realized the change of processes faster than people who grew up in america, antony blinke is like that, as you can see, he also has roots from the european continent, just kissinger knew the west better. madeline norbert is the center and anthony blinken is the e

whoever thinks otherwise cannot be a part of this establishment, that is why mike pompeo and antony blinken in one word, and this is a huge tragedy of the american political elite, it must be said right away, the misunderstanding of this role, i do not want to say that kissinger was some kind of devil, but it seems to me that admiration is evil, it the most dangerous thing that can happen in politics at all, and another very important point that i always think about, is that kissinger liked the fact that he was very quick to grasp the moment, that is, he was the first to understand what they did not have time to understand , ugh, this is the quality of the european mind, if you will, a person who knew europe better than his american colleagues, madeline olber also, thanks to his european experience, was aware of the change of processes faster than people who grew up in america, anthony blinke. as you can see, because he also has roots from the european continent, simply, simply , kissinger knew better from the west, madeline orbert the center, and antony blinken - the east, these are differ

administration the single most violent reaction against the united states was one sense, from mike pompeo. that is in one of the speeches actually on the hudson location of october 2019 in new york where he was giving award picky said in one of the speeches come he said the chinese communist party and chinese people are two parties. the chinese reaction was speeded say that again. >> the chinese party and chinese people are two different. that's mostly come that's basically the reality of china. .. that's you want opportunity for us. so when we say chinese communist party is the dictatorship, dictatorship over what? over the people. that's why it's important to expand the people-to-people relationship. trust me, when chinese government say they want relationship, that's what they fear most. go ahead, change that. so they've created conditions. fundamentally restrict american, private sector's access to chinese people. we have right now close to 300,000 chinese students here studying in america. you have to create conditions for americans impossible to stay there that's why it's appropriat

again the trump administration mike pompeo went down there he had a definite goal.ou will partner with the u.s. and help us protect our borders. if you don't you will see increases in tariffs, decreases in aid and there will be a plan put forward. they went down there for nothing more than a photo op. exactly what they got. they got schooled by the mexican leadership and mexican president. we were down there a few months ago from ways and means and met with president obrador and came back with a message. this is a person who has no interest in working for the u.s. he is allowing as many of illegal immigrants to go to his country and fine with the number of mexican cartels that are doing human trafficking, drug trafficking, child trafficking into our country. he has no problem with that. this was a message we sent out month ago. they didn't have a plan or strategy. they went down there for a photo op. >> julie: governor abbott is tearing into the mayors of new york city, denver and chicago and they are complaining seeing a tiny fraction of what border communities see

partnering from position of strength if you go back to last administration, when secretary of state pompeodown to negotiate with members, it was with position of strength trump was very clear, they either help us or we are going to do everything we cannot to help them we are going have told back money giving them, in aid we're going to -- start shutting down trade areas, in order to stop this, keep keepings from coming in biden administration the opposite of that we have absolutely no strength they know that went down there for not op policies have not changes if series about it would look at the tools they took off containable such as "remain in mexico" policy such as first state country policy get rid of policies that at the add to "catch and release" the money into border, homeland security is not securing borders it is getting more people into our country illegally. cheryl: obviously, crossing the border there is a lot of you know, this could happen i mean at this point i don't know that -- we are looking at a new december record, for migrant encounters that is to surpass two months ag

we will have live updates and mike pompeo will join us to react. at the southern border continues to escalate as 5000 immigrants are released into the u.s. everyday. what is happening and who are these migrants? join john robertsats the top of the hour. >> emily: lawmakers looking to make fat phobio illegal, the cdc found colorado to be the skinniest state in the nation. state lawmakers are expecting to ban employerings and landlordings from discriminating against those who are overweight. using your tax dollars. activists are using fat acceptance push to play the victim card. recent daily mail report, activists reject health risks have become more aggressive in promoting fat people as victims of aggression. the crying obesity is racist claiming it boiled down to race. cheryl, i see you shaking your head. >> cheryl: american association of cardiologists had a meeting. if you lose weight, you have lower blood pressure, lower cholesterol, if you lose and you are not obese, you may live longer. cardiologists want drugs approved, this is a human story.

the only reason trump didn't act on it is because he and rex tillerson, and mike pence, and mike pompeo prevented him from doing it. none of those people will be in the white house or anywhere near the white house in trump's second term. all of them have criticized him since 2020. he will not rehire them. instead, he will have a cohort of officials who are either people who don't care about nato, and don't care about america's alliances around the world or are actively hostile to them. and so we will see a very different set of policies. remember, what's really important about nato, tit's not just a treaty. it's a treaty that says everybody who signed it should come to the defense of anyone who's attacked. why don't the russians attack poland, given that so much aid for ukraine is coming through poland. the reason they don't do it is because they think the u.s. would respond. once they don't believe the u.s. will respond, then why not do it. >> and your point about article v, when was that invoked, for america, by the way, post 9/11. that explicit remarkable quote from trump that you st

they say that this is very alarming, and they also believe that the russians took revenge for mike pompeoo actually joined the board of directors of kyivstar about 2 weeks ago. ex-us secretary of state, the russians didn’t like it, well, nothing works now. is the subscriber's device turned off or out of network coverage? the opponent is temporarily unavailable. ukrainians started tuesday morning with an alarming roll call; mobile communications in kyivstar do not work, and it is also impossible to use the internet. amounts. people complained they couldn't withdraw money from atms, paying couriers and even in the subway, calling emergency services is also impossible, impossible. due to the lack of communication , other services were also affected. in chernivtsi , transport fares did not work. a failure occurred in the operation of atms and terminals served by the operator throughout the country. in many cities , street lighting was not turned off in time. the lights are turned on remotely via gsm modems, so this had to be done manually. turned on manually. hackers. the war with russia has

there were attempts to assassinate mike pompeo, former secretary of state and former leaders of the trump administration. they haven't been able to carry anything out. now, you have an assassination of a leader in syria, that israel has neither confirmed nor deni denied. that leader in syria is in charge of arming hezbollah and sending missiles to hezbollah. that might be why iran came out and said, this is revenge of soleimani's death. and maybe they need to make up for it. first, hamas is denying that. we already knew that this was not an attack that was deeply executed by iran. their support of hamas made the attack possible. but iran is not the one that made this happen. >> before we let you guys go, what we've seen in ukraine, a different war. but no less complicated in the moment in time. particularly as u.s. -- the u.s. congress has left without being able to approve more aid for ukraine. what does that tell you the scale of the russian attacks overnight that we saw in ukraine? >> i think what you're seeing russia do is to set the groundwork for what they're going to do during what

president trump prove it had, mike pompeo proved it, that's how he dealt with isis, we wiped them out. that needs to be the focus and just as just stated a moment ago, all roads lead to iran here. iran needs to, if they want to is any sort of relationship with the rest of the world, they need to come down on hamas and get the american hostages and the other hostages out. elizabeth: that's the story. to release the hostages, come down on iran. what you're saying, you know, hamas leaders over and over and over again say they would do again and again the same brutal massacre that killed 1200 innocent civilians and that was just the beginning. ceasefire would keep the brutal terror regime in place in gaza. there's moments where we're called upon to bear witness and step up for the humanity. step up for israel and it's a democracy that's a threat to dictators and iran and terrorists worldwide. the president and vice president they're offering word salads and congrcongressman offering nothi. >> i was working closely with saudis and others in the region to bring peace to the region. i was ab

to mike my -- like pompeo. you think he should have done that. >> should have waited, sat and out until 28. >> desantis was the winner. i think he had a great showing, he touted his policy accountant, chris christie was the loser. the first question is why are you still in the race you know it's not a good start. >> desantis was the winner of this debate, underperform are in the first three. he gained a lot of confidence after his bludgeoning of gavin newsom. >> my winners chris christie. he defended nikki haley and called out the elephant in the room which was donald trump not being on stage. vivek look like a jerk in my opinion. maria: we will have you tomorrow. thank you so much. have a great day. "varney and company" picks up. stuart: the debate, plenty of insults, plenty of in finding, nikki haley was attacked frequently and responded thanks for the attention. christie called vivek ramaswamy the most obnoxious blowhard in america. we take you through the highlights in a moment but i have to wonder how many

mike pompeo, has poor, discussing a danger. for some reason i don't understand why it's resonating.'t understand. it'll be interesting how this kind of plays out. >> it seems like it is resonating, but in the direction of doubling down. we'll talk more about -- if you think about how this all looks and why, laura, to mike's point, trump is a very effective communicator at ensuring that everyone that is not him is viewed with skepticism, as somebody who can be met with a derision and is less than. if he has created the hierarchy where, what he says is more important, then it stands to reason, one would look at those comments in the greater believe then the others? >> yeah, they believe him over the former chiefs of staff, over former into ministration officials, over the press. it is interesting because there is some of this ambiguous, we don't trust the process. there is a reason that they're low trust in the press among republican base, because their leader, because the leader of the republican party has, for years now, since he first started running for the presidency back in 2015

you that there are no months passed when the former us secretary of state, ex-head of the cia, mike pompeos of kiev. the company then stated that in this way they strive to demonstrate their commitment to the revival and restoration of ukraine. and here the strongest hacker attack is the collapse of the internal infrastructure. strange coincidence. is it true? zelensky arrived in washington at a critical moment both on the battlefield and on capital hill, the new york times reports. the newspaper writes that the united states and ukraine are looking for a new strategy after unsuccessful counter-offensive in order to begin the revival of kiev's prosperity next year. but first we need to win. to do this , three-star generals will be sent to ukraine, who will spend significant time on the ground, as reported. the americans insist. to conservative strategies aimed at preserving the territories that ukraine still has. we need to accumulate strength, for this we will have to dig in. an american construction company from arizona, who would doubt it, will help with this. she's in the new this year

. >> dana: sebastian former secretary of state mike pompeo talked about the broader implications of this for not just our national security but our economy as well. listen here. >> my expectation is this will get worse until the administration takes the threat seriously. american businesses operating in mainland china and hong kong today are under threat. the national security law lets the communist party let them grab anyone, westerners being held and detained and interrogated is only increasing. >> dana: last word to you why viewers watching here and why our u.s. government and business leaders should care about this case. >> this case is important because we need to remind hong kong that campaigning for democracy and freedoms is not a crime. journalism is not a crime. hong kong tells the world they still want to trade and still want to be a financial center. they can't do that if they have all these political prisoners and peaceful pro-democracy campaigners, journalists like my father in prison. we must stand firm on our ideals and tell them that we are not willing to trade our values

joining me now mike pompeo, former secretary of state under president trump. mr.retary, anyone banned from one of these elite institutions is okay by me. but, they say that you couldn't -- you wouldn't be -- you weren't speaking because of covid. but you say it was something else. >> well, laura, it's great to be with you. i know exactly what it was. i prepared remarks some b. exactly the topic we are speaking about. the chinese communist party influence in american academia. research money that at least the theft of intellectual property. hardworking americans lose. chinese students on campus feeding information back to the chinese communist party. all of the donor money that goes to win friends and influence people on campuses. i was going to give a speech. i was the secretary of state. we decided that mit was the best place to give that speech and a handful of weeks out before the remarks i was told i was no longer welcome there. i had to go down a pretty long list. ultimately gave the speech at georgia tech. go wrap bling rec and can you see it. it was not abo

. >> form secretary of state mike pompeo's is a biden administration needs to send a clear message to iran. >> you can't be afraid of your own shadow you have to be clear about your redlines and enforce them this administration is routinely probably all across the world failed to do that and certainly made americans less safe, we've seen what they've done to israel and we know the gulf states are less safe as well. >> currently supply chains could be affected as it takes months longer to go around the gape of good hope if you trying to avoid the red sea. neil: edward at the white house, in the meantime the reaction to all of this with the u.s. air force general and retired, always good to have you on, what's interesting looking at these companies that have opted to get out of the whole area of the red sea, they did so even with the promise that were eventually going to have a task force protecting ships in the area, i don't know if that's a sign of any of them don't believe it or if any of them did don't know if it's worth it, what did you make of it. >> even if there is a task force

he would no longer have people like mike pompeo, like general kelly, general mattis, who he had previouslyfor much of the first 3 1/2 years, i think that donald trump was surrounded by strong advisers who i think helped to guide our country and enact policies on tax reform, enact foreign policy, enact supreme court confirmations of true conservatives that i think has made conservatives very proud. the last nine months in many ways i think, it changed course. i think many of the people had left the administration. i think what we ended up with on january 6 in some ways was a reflection of not having the same voice of conservatives around him that he had had for the first 3 1/2 years. i think that is more representative of what perhaps a second term could look like. >> that's what is concerning people, the last nine months is more representative of what the next term would look like. liz cheney spoke about a january 6 phone call in which trump lawyers were briefing surrogates about plans for january 6. they suggest the former vice president could refuse to count the elector votes. she learne

think it's more concerned whether this government is competent >> former secretary of state mike pompeoto say about this. let's take a listen to what he had to say. what's my guess is in the end they made the decision not to share at the american people out of sheer embarrassment's they had permitted this very dangerous activity to take place over the american homeland that is never a reason not to share information with the american people. i don't know if the story is true. but we remember that they allowed a chinese spy balloon to fly over our country for five days and did nothing and frankly now we are months and months and months later they still do nothing about this big. >> a quick 152nd answer here thoughts on what he said and do you think they were able to gather any significant intelligence? >> we did have reporting that said we knew where they were launching the new balloons from and if they wanted to keep a secret i get that once it came out of the bag we should've shot the thing down and admit they knew about it >> the tenant colonel thank you so much to you a merry christm

that's what we had under president donald trump and secretary mike pompeo when i worked with them.ence that in 2019 the same thing happened which we saw happen over the last 24 hours. which is iran back to she of militia. we do believe that is who is responsible for the attack in the last 24 hours. back in 2019, almost 2020 in the days leading into 202020 iranian backed militias were attacking the u.s. embassy. we gave the irani ends very clear redlines and said your proxy interrupts the holding them accountable for attacks on our embassy and attacks on our service members, the american people, our diplomats. we did so by responding a few days later and taking out solo money, at the time the world's largest terrorist. that's the only type of thing the irani and regime understands. biden didn't think they were escalating. they think they are trying to keep a lid on a boiling pot in the region. they are only inviting more attacks and making our troops, our men and women both in hardened facilities and on ships, making our men and women sitting ducks for these attacks from hamas, and
