Tensions between the two countries, calling on his nations military to, quote, explore ways and means of training and preparing for war. End quote. Xis comments come after a recent internal chinese report warning beijing they need to be prepared for the potential of Armed Conflict with the United States. Chinese communist Party Officials have made it clear over recent days they will utilize the wuhan virus or pandemic they helped create to achieve their goal of global domination. Chinas foreign minister telling the United States to stop what it calls its Wishful Thinking of trying to change china. All of this as the Chinese Military reportedly readied two new aircraft carriers for deployment off the coast of taiwan, and china continues to push ahead with the effective takeover of hong kong later this week. The u. S. Response to these actions so far have been diplomatic, measured, even muted. President trump and Husband Administration threatening his administration threatening to impose economic sanctions against china should they continue to their provocative rhetoric and actions against the western world. Secretary pompeo would likely be unable to certify that hong kong maintains a high degree of autonomy. And if that happens, this will be sanctions imposed on hong kong and china. Its hard to see how hong kong would remain the Asian Financial center that its become if china takes over. Lou and for more reaction from the white house and the latest on chinas crackdown against democracy in hong kong, we turn to our own susan in new york. Reporter the foreign minister says that the u. S. And china are on the brink of a cold war, of a coronavirus and what he calls political forhum forces supporting the hong kong democracy movement. And installing Chinese Military personnel on city streets in order to enforce them. Many see this as an end to hong kongs autonomy, promised for 50 years after it was handed back to chinese rule in 1997. I think chinas making a big mistake, frankly. I think taking over hong kongs National Security parameters and judgments was a mistake. Were supposed to have one country and two systems, and now were seeing an attempt, i think, to have one country and only one system. That takes away a lot of freedom in hong kong. That will have a very bad financial effect on hong kong, i might add. Reporter a Bipartisan Senate bill is being proposed that would sanction chinese officials, entities and banks that enforce this new National Security law. While the white house is weighing the use of the hong kong democracy and human rights act signed by President Trump last year and this requires beijing to prove hong kongs being left independent, or the white house could revoke some of the favorable trade policies the u. S. Currently extends to hong kong. He said to me that hes displeased with chinas efforts and that its hard to see how hong kong can remain a Financial Hub if china tax over. Takes over. Which means what . Would the United States change its relationship with hong kong . I have no further announcements on the precise action the president will be taking. Reporter jimmy lye saying hong kongs fate lies in the hands of President Trump. Lou, back to you. Lou susan lee reporting, thank you, susan. And joining us tonight to take all of this up, general jack keane, former vice chief of staff of the u. S. Army, retired fourstar general, fox business senior strategic analyst. General, good to have you with us. Red storm rising. Xi saying to the Peoples Liberation army, prepare for war. And the, and clearly, war with the United States. Your reaction. Well, the red storm rising has been going on for a number of years. Certainly it was accelerated when president xi took over in 2013. The problem is the Previous Administration and the world at large refused to acknowledge what was really taking place. Xi wanted to dominate the asiaPacific Region. He said so in his speeches, and he wanted to replace the United States as the worlds global leader, and then he put a military accelerated Development Program in place, and he also became a huge economic predator and intellectual property theft. All that has been happening. I will admit since covid19 has taken place, lou, and because hes been backed into the corner a little bit because of international criticism, hes lashing out more than he has in the past. And now hes meeting with the National Party congress in beijing, some of this, i believe, is posturing, you know, about the threat of war. If he had war, he would never be able to achieve any of his objectives that he has for the country. And that would be a risk that would absolutely be unacceptable to the Chinese Communist party. But nonetheless, he is pushing the envelope. And thankfully so, this administration has a comprehensive plan to deal with it not just economically, but politically and also militarily and also deal with the information operations. And i think weve got to lean our shoulders into more of it than what we have. And, obviously, because of what has been taking place recently, its got our attention, its got our governments anticipation, its got our president s attention and its got the worlds attention. Lou and in the pacific, critically important how much force we bring to bear in that region. And how much of our total might we apportion to the pacific. It looks as though were going to have to concentrate a considerable amount of our fleet, our air power as well as the triad to the Pacific Region as perhaps never before. Yeah, youre absolutely right about that, lou. You put your finger on one of the problems that we have, is china has added to their military capacity to a point where theyve put a lot of our systems, military systems at risk and vulnerable. Weve got a couple things were going to have to do. One is reoption forces and add a greater reposition forces. And then the second piece of that, and secretary esper is on top of this, and that is to accelerate advanced Technology Programs that will create the kind of military deterrence that we want to have in that part of the world that we dont want china making any foolish steps because we dont have it. Thatll take a while to get, but fortunate weve had three solid budgets and we need a number of years more to be able to pleat those advance to complete those technology systems. Were going to need that kind of funding. If we dont get it, then jeopardy is going to be around the corner. I think xis calculation is that hes no longer going to go along with the facade that the local government in hong kong is is really in charge. Theyre now in charge, and thats what this new law that was mentioned in the introduction is all about. Which mean they can arrest anybody, anytime on any charge, is what that law permits. And the second thing, it deals with foreign interference. They can deport any foreigner without a lot of cause. Theyll come up with some phony excuse, but that law gives them the authority to include the media. And china is risking this, and we have to understand this, can china if it comes to it theyre going to own hong kong. And if they have to lose the Financial Hub to own it and make sure that as a result of the protests in hong kong, theres no pushback on the mainland, they will do that. Because they want to protect their regime and their Chinese Communist party at all costs to include risking that loss. Is that, does that impact them economically . Yes. But it doesnt bring them to their knees either. So this is a calculated move on their part to really begin to take control of hong kong and change it from something we knew in the past. And taiwan is another issue. They will president cy has been elected there, lou. Xiss an anticommunist party shes an anticommunist party. China is going to put more pressure on them as well. Thatll be another flashpoint for us. Lou general, thank you very much, as always. We appreciate it. General jack keane.

Lou the Republican National committee and two other republican groups are are suing california over its mailout ballot plan. In the lawsuit the groups claim the mailin ballots would be sent to inactive voters including citizens who have moved or who have died. Meanwhile, a clintonappointed judges ruling could allow felons in florida to vote in the upcoming election without having to pay any fees as required by law. U. S. District judge robert hipging clintonappointed judge ruled that state law requires felons to pay legal fees before voting is, quoteunquote, unconstitutional. That ruling could potentially add thousands of more voters to the rolls. And President Trump swearing in John Ratcliffe today as the new director of national intelligence. Ratcliffe taking over from Richard Grenell who served in an acting capacity for the past three months providing unprecedented transparency as he did so. And today grenell declassified a new bunch of russia probe documents including transcripts of phone calls that incoming National Security adviser Michael Flynn and thenrussian ambassador Sergey Kislyak a had in december 2016. This follows grenells actions, remarkable, historic actions. In three months he declassified the list of obamaera officials who requested to unmask general flynn, released more than 6,000 pages of House Intelligence Committee interview transcripts, declassified the email of former National Security adviser susan rice that she sent to herself on the president s Inauguration Day and declassifying more than three dozen redacted footnotes from the department of justice inspector generals report on Intelligence Community failures. Well, joining us tonight is tom fitton, the president of Judicial Watch. And ric grenell, tom and i know that you would agree i mean, he is historic. What he has done in three months is breathtaking. The nation is truly in his debt. It sure is. And when you compare the other agency heads of the trump administration, they a pale in comparison in terms of transparency. Secretary of state pompeo, the state department is a disaster, the doj and the fbi are disasters in terms of transparency. For instance, we asked the state department about the super Samantha Power unmasks, they said they couldnt even tell us number of unmasks because it would be a violation of National Security to do so. And, of course, doj and fbi literally are breaking foia law by withholding documents from us and requiring us to sue. And then when we sue, they stall exit release they stall the release of the documents or pretend the documents arent subject to foia in the case of Text Messages. And grenell shows that when you have agency leadership, you can get transparency. And i just hope barr and wray and pompeo look and start producing as well. Lou well, its really surprising to hear you criticizing those other departments, particularly the state department. And id like to know what can be done here. You say its a violation of foia law. Theyre claiming its against the law for them to release the material. Im going to guess which side you would suggest is correct here. But why in the world couldnt this thing be adjudicated and resolved or the president just simply order it done . Oh, i think the president should order a agencywide disclosures or administrationwide disclosures certainly of the russiagate documents. I know hes pushed for that and, of course, the deep state resists that. Were seeing with the grenell disclosures the classification had no good faith basis. There was no National Security reasons to hide the name of the unmaskers, no National Security reasons to cover up that susan rice email, to hide the transcript information. And grenell came in and blew it all open. And the secrecy is to protect misconduct and, frankly, criminal behavior from being exposed. Lou and lets turn to california, the lawsuits. Judicial watch and the Republican National committee, mailin ballots you say is pure fraud in specialty, certainly. Whats going to be the resolution there . Well, the constitution doesnt let the governor of a state just send out ballots and change the law of a state. The legislature, under the constitution, has to change the rules x. California state law doesnt even allow newsom to do that. Thats why we sued in Court Last Week on behalf of both voters and a candidate, darrell issa, whos running back running for his seat again in congress. Look, if you want your vote to be secure and safe, go vote in person. And Governor Newsom flooding the system with 20 million ballots is an open invitation to ballot fraud. We know we have los angeles countys agreed to remove up to 1. 6 million names from the rolls that shouldnt be there. We know that californias voting lists are notoriously dirty. Weve got the documents and the information showing that to be the case. So if you want voter fraud, if you want chaos on election day, this is what youll get with this out of control decision by mr. Newsom. On top of that, youve got this ballot harvesting rule in california that is also an open invitation to not only fraud, but intimidation. When youre voting outside the polling place, the protections are weak for secure elections and to protect those who want to vote from being intimidated. Lou and, tom, you know that people are going to say its california, for crying out loud. Its nothing but, you know, the usual left coast, leftwing, democratic, let them stack up all the votes they want, what difference does it make. Pay attention to the stage where it does make the difference. Your response the those people. Well, if its your vote thats being sold as a result of voter fraud, you may think otherwise. And, certainly, california has senate races and house races and races for mayor and other localities that would be impacted as well. And, of course, its a state by state ballot. This is not just in california. Nancy pelosi, for instance, passed a bill that would nationalize newsoms approach, upend the voter id laws in 35 states and have ballot harvesting in a national, at a national scale. Look, our elections are being put at risk here. Lou and, by the way, i mean, you know, 16 states where this is being, perkins coy is the great democratic law firm. Great, by the way, im using in a facetious sense. Theyre leading an action to disenfranchise voters across the country, are they not . Well, thats right. If your vote isnt going to be counted in this circuslike process, your civil rights are being violated. You know, im tired that voter fraud issue, the left using it to attack those of us who support Election Security as being against people being able to vote. We want to protect
