To hope for better ties with President Trump. What are better ties with russia . They have been jerking us around since the 1980s. We sit in the drivers seat, russia doesnt. President trump was backed into a corn o a corner on this bef the election. Hes hands stover executive authority under article 2 under a Dysfunctional Congress that may come back to bite us. Lee lea, he says this legislation is significantly flawed. He says it 10 controversied on his ability to negotiate which is one of the reasons people elected trump because they thought he was a good negotiator. Absolutely. He went on to say as a businessman he can negotiate Better Business deals. But obviously negotiating business deals is not the purview of congress. That outside of that scope. Thats just not true. But im glad to see he did do what was right. Congress had to drag him by the ear and make him do right by america and employ these sanctions. Protecting democracy is always our number one priority. Ford lets say russia goes a fullscale trade war. The e. U. Will say we are hitting russia too hard. Then President Trump will have to go to a dysfunction tall congress. Well have problems with the e. U. Going forward. If we didnt have this 2016 elections story, he shouldnt have signed this bill. The thing i like to about this bill is it requires cooking approval to ease some of these sanctions. Both parties will have to agree to ease these and it wont be up to just President Trump. He was also instrumental in developing this and put in language of his own. As a lawyer and constitutional scholar, what goes rounds comes around. Foreign policy has bent primacy of the executive whether its barack obama or donald trump. Reporter i want to talk about this. You say there is new concerns about a potential trade war with china. Reporter we are seeing signs that the administration might be starting to get tough or tougher on the chinese when it comes to trade. But something we heard a lot during the campaign about but have not seen in the First Six Months of the Trump Administration. City would be the president going back to his roots. What we are hearing specifically is the Trump Administration is talk about being more aggressive with the chinese and the specific issue they are talking about is chinese theft of intellectual property. Thats something thats really bothered u. S. Companies for years. And its not like this president s new to this specific issue either. If china does not stop its illegal activities including its theft of american trade secrets and intellectual properties i will apply countervailing duties until china ceases and desists. The enforcement of intellectual Property Rights alone would add a quarter million u. S. Jobs. Reporter one option would be to ask the u. S. Trade representative to start an investigation. Well watch it. So far just talks on this. 6 months in, thats a more aggressive approach lea. Lea gordon chang, what are your first thoughts on this . This is a long time coming. We have been involved in a trade war for decades but only the chinese are fighting it and we pretend it doesnt exist. We have seen in the Trump Administration china has become even more intransigent. Every time we say this is a trade war that will cost us, the chinese see that and they say we have a clear field, we can do whatever we want. So we have to stop this dynamic. Lea one of the concerns is china block u. S. Investments. We have so much more he leverage over the chinese than they do to ours. We are a trade deficit country. Trade deficit countries dont worry about trade wars. And we dont have an economy geared to selling things to china. China has an economy geared to selling things to us. We hold most of of the high cards. Lea one of the things i heard people talk about including wilbur ross in the wall street journal yesterday saying our trade deficit with china is 350 billion. Where do you see this going . Do you see this something that will be implemented and a policy that will help us in the big picture and our balance . Our trade deficit will be there and eat into trump. I think well see a deterioration in trade relations. We have problems with the chinese in their cyber attacks. North korea is driving this. That 347 billion up in is only goods. When you add in the services its more. Lea we have seen china become more aggressive in an economic and military way. They are building airports on islands. Tell us how that can play in. The chinese have been supporting the north korean Ballistic Missile program. The North Koreans have Ballistic Missiles that can reach the United States as far as chicago and maybe even as far as this city. They are not helping anything, so therefore this is going to mean that trump is going to say these cans cant be kicked down the road anymore. We need to do this, and thank god we are doing it now. Lea i want to go back to our panel. Talk about north korea, china and the frustration from President Trump. Things have really changed since then. Your thoughts onthis policy. Let me start by saying a month ago he sent out a warning shot by twitter saying china wasnt doing their part. Then the next day, he gave them 24 hours. The next day he said that basically that didnt work and we are going to have to proceed. So what we are seeing today are the effects of that. China has not put their money where their mouth was. They have not delivered im glad to see that hes taken actions. This is very aggressive action and im on board with it. Lea robin just mentioned the dweet over the weekend. The president does sometimes express how he feels over twitter. I want your thoughts on how you think other World Leaders respond and how they take these tweet messages. Ford im not sure other World Leaders know how to take these tweet messages but his supporters like it because hes able to get outside the Mainstream Media and get his message out. Chain and initiating section 1603 is not a controversial move. You will be hard pressed to find a trade expert who doesnt think china is infringing on u. S. Intellectual property. Lea do you think it will go to the wto . Ford it could. But hes trying to be tough on trade because there is a 300 billion trade deficit. And robin and i both know the country that can most of influence north koreas bad behavior is china. China is not living up to its bargain so hes going to tighten up the screws until they do. I know from the Intelligence Community from having serve in it that thats something think they have targeted. Do you think this will help u. S. Companies . I sure do. Like i said, hes taking strong action and we have to hit china where it hurts the most of because they have not listened. And that will be right in there wallets. Ford its a political win for trump from the rust belt to the silicon valley. Now hes actually putting his actions where his words are. Lea good to see you two agreeing on this topic. Following the president s unveiling of an Immigration Reform bill, Steven Miller still questions from the press, things went down hill pretty quickly. Its common sense here. At the end of the day, why do special interests want to bring in more lowskilled workers and why historically i think its clear. If you just answer. Can i just answer your question . I named the study. Glenn, i named the studies. I named the studies. I asked you for statistics. It will make a carve out in the bill that says the New York Times can hire all the unskilled low wage workers they want and well see how you feel about the substitution. Lea three toughtalking nations firing off test missiles within days of each other. That story next. Its time to rethink whats possible. Rethink the experience. Rethink your allergy pills.

Answering north koreas intercontinental Ballistic Missile test with a test of its own. And news that china quietly tested missiles of its own over the weekend. Chuck nash, a former aviator. Its important to mention that the u. S. Does plan its own missile tests well in advance. These chinese tests we heard about over the weekend were targeting mock u. S. Missile battery, thaad Missile Systems and mockups of stealth fighters. Not very subtle, eh . They are trying to make a point and send a message. The United States, you have a lot of force structure in our neighborhood. South korea. We have 28,500 troops in south core ria. They are trying to make the point. This is like our neighborhood. Its for publicity and its just as much for domestic consumption as american consumption. Lea there are days before chinese missile tests, u. S. Military satellites detected failed attempts of the version of the thaad Missile System and china is very opposed to. What do you make of that . I think china is trying to move out obviously president xi has done an amazing job the last five years. He cut their military by 300,000 personnel and used the money to do modernization. With that modernization push, a lot of it is selfdevelopment because they have to steal technology from us or get from the russians or develop it themselves. They have done a lot of all of that, now they are putting these systems together. Earlystage systems tend to not work 100 of the time. They are in development, they are going to get there. We shouldnt underestimate them. Lea i want to mention the u. S. Missile test we had. On this test we did was to show the effectiveness and range of our system. But it basically targeted a range in the Marshall Islands in the north pacific. We have a range we are targeting something so we can test the accuracy. We launch out of vandenberg. And where the koreans are right now, they are trying to reach out and do multi stage, they have a liquid fuel intercontinental Ballistic Missile, and reentry, when you start coming back down into the atmosphere, things heath heat up pretty quickly. And the capsule burned up prior to impact. People think about this when they think about nuking a city where the missile will come down, the warhead will hit the ground and boom like hiroshima and nagasaki. Thats not really the end game threat they were waiting for. They could deorbit a Nuclear Weapon out of a satellite polar orpaint emp the United States which would take our population density and our industrialized not Agricultural Society and pound it back into the preindustrial age. Lea there was anne a report that an air France Flight was 510 minutes past the missile before it went in the water. I think you and i both as former naval airators can agree. Very unprofessional about north korea not giving a warning about that. Your thought very quickly. Big sky, little airplane, they are count on it. Nice some to see you, captain nash. Attorney general Jeff Sessions announced federal help is on the way with opioid use. Guy. Potsch then i have a real treat for you today. Michael awesome. Potsch im going to show you a next generation pickup. Michael lets do this. Potsch this new truck now has a cornerstep built right into the bumper. Gary super cool. Potsch the bed is made of highstrength steel, which is less susceptible to punctures than aluminum. Jim aluminum is great for a lot of things, but maybe not the bed of a truck. Potsch and best of all, this new truck is actually gary all laughing oh my. Potsch the current chevy silverado. Gary im speechless. Gary this puts my ford truck to shame. James ill tell you, i might be a chevy guy now. laughing lea attorney general Jeff Sessions announcing new federal programs to help combat opioid abuse and calling on doctors to slow down writing opioid prescription. More than a third. American adults were prescribed some sort of opioid in 2015. Joining me to discuss is Richard Jones and the founder of the hill hills treatment center. What do you think of this new idea of what attorney general sessions is doing . Basically its trying to stop the people getting this medicine prescribed to them, to get them off of it. But it doesnt affect what we are dealing with now, the epidemic with heroin and people dying every day in ohio and other parts of the United States. I dont see much success out of it whatsoever. Lea the Justice Department is sending 12 federal prosecutors dealing with horrible addictions problems. They will be focusing on investigating the Healthcare Fraud situation and opioid scams that are just really causing such a problem with this epidemic. What do you think about this concept and what else needs to be done . First of all, what sessions is doing, its like the patient had their leg amputated and hes giving a bandaid. Without question there is a lot of fraud in los angeles with sober living outpatient Treatment Centers. But there is an epidemic. I know three heroin addicts who just died in the last week here in los angeles. The Insurance Companies are only giving Treatment Centers 15 to 20 inpatient days in order to turn some ones life around. Its a joke. The understand companies, its a joke. What the government is doing is not enough. We need to do some radical stuff to change his epidemic. Lea take a listen to what Jeff Sessions said about calling out doctors for prescribing these. Today we are announcing a new effort to target our federal resources against this epidemic. If you are a doctor illegally prescribing opioids for a profit or a pharmacist letting these drugs walk out the door on prescriptions you know were obtained under false pretenses, we are coming after you. Lea how much blame should be placed on doctors for this problem . Its more complicated than just the doctors its the pharmaceutical companies that have such lobbyists in washington that push the drugs with the politicians. The pharmaceutical Companies Push it on the doctors, the doctors helped create this he dem tick years ago with the overprescription of opiates. It is horrible. Now, at the same time the heroin epidemic has spread. Fentanyl is being cut into heroin. Addicts dont know how much to shoot or how much to use. People are dying left and right. Its like the perfect storm has come together to create this. So there is many people that are really like not doing enough to help me and the sheriff who is on the front lines like i am to make a difference here. Lea sheriff jones, i want to take this point to you. I heard some people suggest there should be a drug that helps people with overdoses. In starbucks bathrooms even because people are overdosing in these places. I read you dont want the equip those who work for you with far narcan. I dont equip them. Thats for emergency personnel. We dont use narcan at the Sheriffs Office nor will i. I agree with what the doctor is saying, this is more than just all we have is a bandaid from the federal government. The heroin is pouring into our community. Here in ohio we have people who o. D. In my jail parking lot. We have 13yearolds getting shots from their mothers. I had three babies born in my jails in 18 months to addictive mothers. China has moved their trade to the mexican border. The heroin is killing our generations. We are losing the battle. When they dont include people who have different viewpoints, you get one viewpoint from the top, it needs to be all of us down at the bottom like the doctors having to deal with this. We need to be participating in this. Not somebody from the top coming down and having a press conference and patting everybody on the back and everybody goes home. I wont even go to another committee eating in with the governors and attorney general where they have a press conference. We are losing, we are fighting a battle and we need ammunition for the battle. Lea the New York Times reporting drug overdoses are the leading cause of death in people under 50 in this country. Thank you for your insight on this very important story. President trump unveiling sweeping changes to immigration policy and sparks fly at the White House Briefing room. Well have more details coming up. Does cnn not know the different between green card policy and illegal immigration . You really dont know that . Poor mouth breather. Allergies . Stuffy nose .

The will reduce poverty, increase wages, and save taxpayers billions of dollars by changing the way that United States issues green cards to nationals from other country, green cards provide permanent residency, Work Authorization and fast track to citizenship. President trump in a bill that he says emphasises merit. Favoring those who possess skills that benefit the american economy. Joining me now, Fox News Contributor mercedes, and former Hispanic Chamber of commerce official pablo e en rickez, is this good or bad . This is good. Let me tell you why, left will jump and say this is racist and make acquisitions, you have to say countries like canada, australia, new zealand, japan, all those countries actually support meritbased systems. This is about modernizing ou immigration system, we have to have an immigration system that matches our economic needs. That is attracting high skilled workers. Lea all right pablo. I would tend to disagree with that, look, right now we have crops that are rotting in the field in the bakersfield. Lea let him finish. Across United States, were suggesting here that slashing half of legal immigration, this is going to have a lot of push back. From your party, this will be an opportunity for compassion to win out, this is a proposal, this is not the law, this is something that anything to be mismatched. Lea you say it bad . I am. Lea gina. I think meritbased things are always good, whether you talk about contract. But in this situation, when all economists agree our current policy hurts legal immigrants, and our minority population, my question for those who advocate against this, why would you want to hurt those populations by keeping things the way they are . Lea over trumps plan, go ahead listen to what happened in White House Briefing room. Whole notion of, they have to learn english before they get to United States, are we just bringing in people from Great Britain and australia. Jim, i am shocked at your statement. You think that only people from Great Britain and australia would know english. This reveals your cosmopolitan bias to shocking degree in your mind, this is an amazing moment. You think only people from Great Britain or australia would speak english, that is so insulting to millions of hard working ill immigrants who speak blue chip froenglishfrom all over the wor. Jim, is that your personal experience . Of course that is not what you said. I just want to say. You are trying to engineer the racial and ethnic flow of people whether or not the country. That is one of the most outrageous, insulting, ignorant and foolish things you have ever said, the notion you think this is a racist bill so wrong and so insulting. Lea got very heated there one thing jim said this would eliminate chain migration, someone brought in to the country on Current System then they could bridge family members or somebody elderly, that would go on public assistant. Pablo, why is this not a good new policy . I think that i agree with eric what he said, they rolled out a policy with president and so on, but having Steven Miller come out and provide red meat for the Briefing Room was not best way to sell it. I am not calling this bill racist. The left should be above that but i think that administration needed to sell it with a softer touch. If they want to encourage people in the center. Sounds like you almost support it. I think that as it rolls forward, there will be things that are added. There is an opportunity to negotiate. I dont think it will be 50 reductiontion. Lea it will be mercedes, senator Lindsey Graham said if that would be law it would be devastating on his states economy. I agree with pablo. I think it would be difficult to push this bill through congress. I think for white house it would have been smarter to build out more of a listening session, have a conversation on what needs to be included. They just threw the bill out, you will see many offed moderate republicans are not going to support it. Mitch mcconnell does not have room in legislative calendar toe add an Immigration Reform bill. That is a good point. I would be talking about that. Lea some people say this was more of this administrations playing to his base. Gina, quickly, thumbs up or down for a softer touch . I think what is important is that when americans have full employment then we can say we go for softer touch, right now we need to fix this. And Lindsey Graham his state is in top 10 unemployment in the country. I dont understand. Lea a lot of strong feelings about this, thank you all for being here.

Lea all right, two months from now, government will be out of money, according to secretary of treasury mnuchin. That could put our government ability to pay its interest to the debt to pay Social Security checks at risk, unless Congress Raises the debt ceiling, michael, what are your thoughts . Congress has to make this a priority. If the government is not able to pay its bills, it means people dont get their Social Security checks, that will require leadership of same people who elected president. Independents and moderates tipped president over, they in congress will be those who have to figure out a way to deal with debt ceiling not be the bogged down by goals of liberal left and far right conservative right. They have to deal with spending, you have to deal with first thing first, making sure that we pay our bills to people we owe money to. Lea taxes is what were hearing a lot of members of g. O. P. Talk about, President Trump wants healthcare and taxes, a lot say look at taxes now, get that dan. This is complicated, idea is too get taxpayers to see more money in first check of 2018. What are your thoughts . Can republicans and democrats come together to get something don on taxes . We absolutely must. That why donald trump was elected. He was a political outsider, americans were desperate enough to give it a chance, he has just aligned himself with gomp that t does not make sense to me, he cut out democrats from all negotiations. He i want po point out he had a brunch two weeks ago to discuss Health Care Reforms and did not discuss a single democrat at table. Lea senator mccain, came back and walked away. I want to go with you. Do you see republicans saddling up next to democrats on this one . This has to happen with taxes and healthcare, and debt ceiling, we have trade of looking to far right, House Freedom caucus, that failed. There is not enough support, it the far right policies, president has to be less reality tv star, and more of a negotiator. That the americans elected to make these deals between republicans and democrats, that is why he there. Lea robin and michael thank y you.

Here now is author of the operator, and former navy seal, rob oneal, nice to see you. Thank you. Lea let me ask you, mike wrote this piece, said there is little policy guidance on some operations, that fly under radar of american public. That President Trump is doing like 5 times of these operations compared to what president obama did. In last 193 days of his office. Your thoughts. Right, comparing you know give or take 6 months of that administration versus last. Considering that special operation makes up 5 of overall military, that is a lot. Since Bush Administration to Obama Administration now Trump Administration they are asking more and more. That is because special operations are the easy button. That is what president obama called us. But now because over past 5 years, 80 countries, 8,000 special operators is a lot. Lea were talking about country, we have served under we cant talk about things done over there, but we talk about countries where the type of work is being done like yemen and somalia, you end up with power vacuums, talk about importance of these missions. Do you think that article is right are forces pushed too hard. It is not justice is just with isis also hezbollah and iran. North africa too, we need people there that will advise and assist the locals, they are fighting a lot of same ideology as iran. We need special operators on the ground. We are able to have like i went to certain command, only younger guys like me were coming in, older guys were warn out and leaving but still doing that. Were running into that right now. Lea tough to produce special operators, you have unique skill sets, and uniquely capable of doing this work. Moving on to program called military vital to national interest. It has been enrolled more than 10,000 foreign born individuals, gives them an els expedite the o citizenship, some of these are unaccounted for, there are concerns about you know where their loyalties really lie. That is a smallers andage pe, we need people that can speak the language, we have chinese and korean and arabic. They want more and more they have a 10 dens a they lower e standards. That is affecting people who do it the right way. Lea you know, there have been good successes with that program. But certainly a concern about vetting problem, rob oneal thank you very much.
