chair and great john ratcliffe. and america's first policy institute chairman. we need to awaken to what is taking place in a comprehensive way with communist china, how they are now aligning with russia, supporting russia if they invade ukraine, and russia supporting communist china if they invade taiwan and their hyper sonic missile projects, but before we focus on that, we have a problem here. we have a lot of problems in this country. one of them is something called january 6 committee. and the january 6 committee, you can see that the propaganda, democrat party media and at white house, and that control congress, want to turn january 6 to an event. to use against conservatives, again donald trump, against anyone who disagrees with them, they took it out of old soviet playbook. i want to talk about the differences. the committee and their investigations those that stalin conducted, not a lot. nancy pelosi who is basically a modern day stalinist, in many respects, the way she controls congress, and she crushes the minority, and abusing house rules and traditions. she cobbled together this committee of 9 members, that includes people like eric stall wel. and individuals like congressman ras kin whose father was one of founding members of the institute for policy studies which had links to old soviet union, and we have adam schiff. who should have his bar membership revoked, given the fact he was doctors text messages, paragraphs at a time. this is not the first time he has done that. he is a slip and fall congressman and also a slip and fall lawyer. in this case, he wants to put mark meadows, former chief of staff to president trump in prison. and this is what i want to talk about we have a committee with not a single republican on it this was appointed. violates house rules. you can't have a house of representatives where the speaker of the house appoints all of the members. then how was the capitol building breached? that is a subject that congress should be very interested in, so it doesn't happen again, but they are not. this committee having been appoint by nancy pelosi is a cover-up job. it is a cover-up job because she can assure all these loyalists will never turn their sights on her and try to figure out why she didn't call up more capitol police, she is in charge of the capitol police, and why she didn't ask the mayor, another fool. why did she reject president trump's offer, 10 to 20,000 national guardsmen, that is all the president can do, there are separations of power, nancy pelosi was in charge of protecting that building, she failed. yet we have a committee looking to a so-called insurrection that has no interest in nancy pelosi's testimony or e-mail or text-messages or correspondents of any kind. which is shameful. we know for a matter of fact that nypd and norfolk fbi office provided information to christopher wray on things they were hearing. what did he do? some memo reached his desk but he never got around to reading it. isn't that an important matter? it is. the dereliction of duty would be by speaker pelosi not the president of the united states, who offered guard -- guardsmen, the fact he offered guardsmen suggests what? he supported an insurrection. if you are president of united states and you want to order an insurrection. would you since the national guard in. would you? would you send a rag tag bunch of people into capitol building, most of whom were not armed. i do know think you would, what is an insurrection? it has a specific legal meeting. it has nothing to do with happened on january 6. armed insurrection, people are intending to takeover the building and take over the government of the united states. how many people have been charged by the politically corrupt department of justice for an insurrection? not one. not one, they keep calling it an insurrection. let me tell you why nancy pelosi would not agree to national guard or call up more police, it was want that long before when president trump said, more federal law enforcement to protect federal courthouse in portland, she called that federal law ep enforcement brigade stormtroopers as did james cliburn. and they were opposed to president using insurrection act to bring in national guard to protect lafayette park, and white house and our cities, he was warned, he was warned by congress. by milley, by madison. and kelly. so nancy pelosi buthis. she participated in this. she was not going to be the one to call up more stormtrooper police. she wasn't going to be the one to ask for or accept national guardsmen. dereliction of duty liz cheney said. i looked identify criminal code. -- i looked over the criminal code, they say maybe donald trump could be charged with a crime, we just need to find the right text and messages. he could have just stood down, and encouraged it. not a single criminal law in federal criminal law that could be used against donald trump to charge him with anything. the legal analysts are always wrong. whether they or web sites or on kaple tv or they are always wrong. you finish they had their way, president would have been indicted 15 times already, they are stupid. so what is this committee doing? it is doing nancy pelosi's dirty work and joe biden's dirty work. executive privilege, president trump said, with past court rulings, i am a ex-president but executive privilege continues to apply, why, you want to protect the separation of powers. if case were that president leaves office then all of this notes is public that destroyed it. we had a federal judge the other day that ruled joe biden is best to determine whether the damage is executive privilege, that was an obama appointee, no, he is not. why? >> because joe biden becausen 't want donald trump on run again. joe biden has said, almost in the ridiculous way, he would seek office again. okay. who might he run against? donald trump. so he doesn't want to protect the executive privilege or branch? he doesn't want to protect the documents that should be protected that belong to trump administration. because he is working with pelosi. and the committee and democrats, they are trying to destroy donald trump. that is why they want his tax returns they go after his businesses and they had two impeachments and russia collusion, they fear this man moring that anything else, they will do anything to stop him, nancy pelosi chose politics over protect capitol building and joe biden chosen his own self interest. and the judges have no serious interest in protection cipolloneration of power -- sipration of power, now adam schiff who doctored information he made public, he wanted to use to bring criminal contempt charges again mark meadows. he doctored, evidence. such as it was. lawyers are not free to doctor evidence. any official proceeding whether in court or in front of a magistrate or congress. particularly when someoney is liberty is at stake. people keep whining about this. lawyers have to comply with the rules of professional conduct for every state they are licensed in. schiff is licensed in california. that is his home. supreme court of california. should be informed to an official complain by republicans on capitol hill although any citizen of united states could file it since it was a public matter. and a serious complaint. with ethics committee of supreme court of california to have his been suss pep suspended or removed. this is not the first time he has done this someone has to do something. someone has to do something. this is the something in my view. what did constitution? with this january 6 committee? is the investigation criminal or investigative? liz cheney, said they are looking for a criminal angle. that is not the job of congress, that is a violation of the constitution. that is the job of the executive branch. that said, if they are doing that, what happened to due process? what happened to due process? look at what they did to steve bannon, he has been indicted. for criminal contempt against congress. and they did it immediately because department of justice is working with this committee. this matter has not been adjudicated. it a complex and legitimate issue that courts need to look at. neither bannon or meadows or friends associates of president trump have the power, power to waive executive privilege, if they do it is unconstitutional. if any people they are talking to have done so, long former attorney general of united states they have done grave damage to the constitution of the united states to cover their own back sides. when we return, our two great guests, john ratcliffe, michael pillsbury, january, rid china's threat to the united states i'll be right back. get $1500 lease cash toward a 2022 rx 350. mike small businesses like yours make gift-giving possible. now, comcast business has an exclusive gift for you. introducing the gift of savings sale. for a limited time, ask how to get a great deal for your business. and get up to a $500 prepaid card with select bundles when you switch to the network that can deliver gig speeds to the most businesses. or get started with internet and voice for $64.99 per month with a 2-year price guarantee. give your business the gift of savings today. comcast business. powering possibilities. mark: welcome back. the issue is red china. grave threat they pose to the united states. and the rest of the world. to body better be that michael pillsbury. he wrote a book. 100 year marathon. we have had him here before. it is important we have him here. how are you, sir. >> fine, thank you. mark: sent we had you here, not that long ago, maybe a year. china has muscled up more. they cozied up with russia in a -- significant way, they just announced they will back russia respecting ukraine. and i believe russia will back china up. they have largest navy in the world, army with twice as many personnel as ours, we have a technical edge but they are catching up with a 6 year plan to get beyond our technology, they have killer satellites in space to knock out our gps systems they put bases here and there quietly, including a naval base off of the west coast of africa, that gives their navy access to atlantic ocean. they of muscling up nuclear warheads. this looks rather frightening. it doesn't seem to me that the united states is prepared for this. we have congress members fighting among themselves, trying to evict people from committees and push massive spending bills, the border is wide open. we have universities and colleges that continue to give aid and comfort and support to communist china, american companies that are highly unpatriot make continue to do business there. and give them access to their subject and resources. what do you make of this? >> well, a challenge for when we're uniquely unprepared. china was supposed to become our best friend, and turn into a liberal democracy, have free trade, and free economy. a lot of american presidents bet on this. it has not worked out, the opposite happened, china is a global challenge to us now. and every sphere. at home here, in our congress. and in or business community, we still have a lot of what i call the friends of china, as much as 40%, still considers china's friend, and worse part is the trillion dollars more than a trillion dollars that american investment still goes to china. it has been increasing in that was year, overall trade with china has been increasing. our exchange programs have been continuing. and one of the most shocking things to me has been our national science foundation, for almost 40 years had agreements to transfer american scientific discover to china quickly, so there is an office in beijing that does this, this is symbolic of the attitude that china is still our friend. that is very widespread. and you get a lot of people with the good conscious they mean well, they write articles, and saying american business should not invest in china any more, as if american business cares about morality, that i want to make money, they could make a lot of money, until our congress passes a tough law that says you can't do this any more or congress restricts even or federal pension money, is invested now in china. some of them are military companies that do drenging dredging in south china sea to create new military basis, until congress takes action this will continue get worse, the reason congress does not take action, kevin mccarthy, a couple years ago invited nancy pelosi to join him to form a bipartisan task force on china, she refused. he went ahead anyway with just the republicans, they came up with 400 recommendations about what to do, most have not been implemented. as long as we have the divide between nancy pelosi and kevin mccarthy in the house it is hopeless, the chinese know is, they are, what should we a, delighted to see something like the january 6 investigation, and 1619 project that stirs up internal american paralysis about china, the chinese know this good for them. they have a lot of analysts and senior officials with masters and phd's from american universities, they speak english, they know how to manipulate our system, we're not prepared, nobody in top level of biden administration speaks chinese, you hear them mispronouncing the chinese leaders name, it is ignore an americans -- ignore an americans against the highly sophisticate chinese. president trump tried to stop this, but the biden administration is giving it rhetorical commentary, that is about all. all. >> you know. michael pillsbury, you look at reaction of this badge to rush administration to russia and to middle east, begging iran to come to the table. yet iran is thumbing their nose at them. and chinese and first meeting with our secretary of state, and so fourth, they mocked him, and they mocked the united states it does not appear to me they have much respect for the commander in chief, or he has much respect for himself, the chinese military is getting very powerful, they don't need to spend as money as we do, they are basically a slave country. in our country, the defense budget is flat. and we're teaching our soldiers critical race theory and equity. these are provocations? >> they are. i think what you will find with chinese and their way of making strategy, they may attention to quantitative military balance of power, their recent strategic break ut, talking about 270 new silos that can reach our country, in addition to 100 they already have. they are trying to match the number of ic bm's we have with their own new program, that was not anticipated by anyone 5 to 10 years ago, the chinese had reassured us over the years that they will have a very small missile force, maybe a couple hundred warheads, don't worry about it our strategic commander, admiral richard has been making speeches that i wish would be given much more attention that china is on the way to at least match up in nuclear warheadings and opinionly -- and are superior to us this is the balance of power shifts in favor of china that leads to as you point out. an arrogance and the mocking of american leaders, they feel they are number one power in the world or soon will be this is quite the challenge. while we bicker about our own issues and lose global leadership for the world, it is just at risk while we bicker. mark: we the continue with the red china scare, i'll be right back. >> welcome to fox news live. it will be a no from joe. senator joe manchin cannot back the democrat signature, build back better act. the bill may be doomed. manchin said he has anyone everything possible through his negotiations with president biden to lower the price of the bill. west virginia law makers explained the social and environmental plan, is too large for him to pass through. he thinks his fellow democrats should focus more on pressing issues. word in new jersey senator cory booker tested positive for covid and has mild symptoms, he is second senator to test positive today. elizabeth warren of massachusetts also fighting the virus, now back to "life, liberty and levin." ♪ ♪ ♪ mark: welcome back. michael pillsbury, we had tactical nuclear weapon in south korea, we pulled them out because number number north korea promises they would not build nuclear weapons, they lie, we had them in taiwan, and pulled them out. china takeover hong kong think. we still have a deal with taiwan. what is not ambiguous, we're supposed to help them, china is on the move with nukes across the board, why are we not telling communist china, we're going to rethink this. put tactical troops back in taiwan and encourage our friends japan to get with the program. we could at least partly encircle china too, we do have to play defense all of the time, do we? >> we down, president trump was seeking to get india more on our side. i noticed in putin-xi video summit they were talking about courting prime minister from india who does have nuclear weapons. and he is concerned about nuclear threat from china. they were removed as part of this, wishful thinking. that we would always befriends with china. and there now be no need to have nuclear weapons in taiwan, i think that is being reconsidered now. it say terrible thing to have to say taiwan so much under threat and so undefeated. but i think a number of people are talking about it. you may know, it was quite highly classified but now public, taiwan tried to develop its own nuclear weapons, and u.s. found out about it through a cia source, and put pressure on taiwan to cancel this program. so we told beijing we did that, started are friendly with beijing, but whole issue of how to defend taiwan, the fact that we don't do exercises with them, our ships and planes never visit. this is rethought now. i think thanks to xi jinping pressure, xi jinping may grow to regret amount of threats and bomber and jet fighter flights around taiwan the last year. if there is a very forceful u.s. response. where our military said we have to be on the island, do exercises with them. and that is considered a nuclear deployment there. it would be embarrassing, a huge setback are in xi jinping, his hawkish aggressive behavior results in a major push back from u.s. and allies, i would advise xi jinpingen to push the americans too far. mark: i want to ask you, is the biden administration forcing the tough trade deals that president trump put in place again china? >> no, they are not. the good news is president biden's replacement for bob lighthizer, shes had said in a press conference, long awaited pris conference this biden administration accepts the entire trump administration approach. the phase one. trade deal document is 95 pages long. it has enforcement mechanisms it was a huge success by president trump. but the biden team also pointed out that china is not meeting the quotas they promised. the way they did for president trump. they are roughly half in terms of purchasing american farmers product. >> with respect to the corporatists and american companies who like to demonstrate their social beliefs, with the united states and focused on republican state legislatures and nba and all the rest, they have no intention of pulling back from communist china. i am thinking about world war ii, we had patriotic companies, these companies are not. >> they are not, some worst of disney, they have enormous revenue from movies they release in china. it disgraceful. there is a book, i saw several year ago, hitler and wall street. published by the hoover institution. it details how a few american companies were selling hitler specific things his military needed, it did not stop until the war began, congress has to stop these companies. mark: i think this explains why a lot of the corporatists who claim to support capitalism, they do business in communist china, were rooting for biden against trump. michael. michael pillsbury. your voice is crucial. i want to thank you. and your book, was absolutely. god bless you, take care.. >> thank you, mark. mark: we'll be right back. ♪ rock music ♪ >> man: so i'm not taking any chances when something happens to it. so when my windshield cracked... my friend recommended safelite autoglass. they came right to me, with expert service where i needed it. ♪ rock music ♪ >> man: that's service i can trust... no matter what i'm hauling. right, girl?

>> look at what is about to happen with american companies lining up to sponsor an olympic games in beijing. one of new things that donald trump and joe biden and their administrations agree on, what you mentioned. china is responsible for death of more than 2 million muslim uighurs. and china is where we have a pandemic originate that is has resulted in deaths of 6 million people worldwide. and their role with respect to how it began remains very much in doubt. why would china of all country be one to be allowed to host a international goodwill games, acting as a gracious host of spirit of competition, peaceful competition with american companies and american government really supporting that. it makes no sense. we're giving china the one thing they want, the ability to burnish their imagine falsely on the world stage. this diplomatic boycott is nonsense. but american companies, can take cover from a biden administration that is calling china's friendly competitor, at same time, president xi jinping holding up a sign, militarily, economically e. with development of supersonic missiles and provocations again taiwan -- against taiwan, all these stealingure intellectual property, china is holding up a sign that says we're coming for you. we're replace you as the world super power, and this administration holds up a sign saying, they are a friendly competitor. much has changed with kind in the administration. it starts with fact there is no deterrent in white house from china's aggressions and provocations. you are seeing this ramp up across the board. and it will continue, for next 3 years. mark: when you see the biden administration flat lining our defense budget. and communist chinese are on the move. we spend more than they do, but they have one advantage they don't have they can pay their soldiers whatever they want to pay. they don't have to pay them benefits, they do what they are told to do or face a firing squad. we don't operate that way. people say we spend more, that number one, but two, relatively we don't. if we keep flat lining our budget with this administration, they are not building hypersonic missiles for taiwan, they don't have killer satellites because of vietnam, they didn't build the biggest navy on the earth because they are concerned about india, they are building on west coast of africa, a naval base, so they have access to the atlantic ocean, and contracts to run the panama canal. they are strategic. i get the deal -- feeling we're dealing with keystone cops in congress, nancy pelosi will not put up any potential statutes or bills that would control communist china, kevin mccarthy tried as michael pillsbury just told us. we're not taking this seriously, while we're just destroying ourselves internally. >> as we have talked about, i think before, the problem is that many in washington don't want china to be viewed at the bad guy, and many on wall street don't want it either. they have been running cover for this chinese communist party trans gretions. that is reflecting in this build back better bill. not an increase dollar for national security to department of defense or homeland security. not one, this in face of the provocations and transgression and increases activity from china, russia and iran, to your point. really it reflects that there san national security team and av rat us this place in app rat -- apparatus in place, it is just lip service but they won't back the kind of increase spending we need to not just meet but stay ahead of our chinese adversaries as has now been made public, the chinese are now ahead of us with regard to development of hyper sonic weapons, that is a place i never thought we would find the united states, only war this administration seems to be prepared to want to take on is a war on climate change, as opposed to our adversaries. mark: and war on private sector and parents and successful people, you are right, we'll be right back with john ratcliffe. forty percent of people with type 2 diabetes will develop chronic kidney disease, or ckd. did you know ckd can lead to kidney failure and dialysis?

>> absolutely. it is prompted by things that you have talked about. so far biden foreign policy is one of surrender and retreat on national security and foreign policy issues, first thing joe biden did was surrender or border to the drug traffickers human traffickers and illegal aliens. you know, he surrendered pipeline to putin and he surrendered afghanistan to terrorists. all that is a cue to russia and china, there is a reason we're seeing these things, not a coincident they have stepped up and joined exercises off of the coast of japan for first time ever, they see an opportunity here, with the current administration. what vladimir putin is doing in ukraine right now that is not a coincidence, we to believe vladimir putin had an interest in reclaiming crimea and parts of ukraine back in 2014 and moved to annex crimea than lost interest in 4 years of administration, only to renew that interest now? our we to believe that china lost interest in taiwan for 4 years of trump administration. but only now, had 49 flights in a single stay. day, no, these are not a coincident, it is fact there is no deterrent effect in the white house, call it fear or respect, the bottom line is our adversaries respected donald trump a leadership enough, they would not do what they are doing now, they are happening. because they see this weak feckless foreign policy, and a group of folks in national security apparatus like an -- blinken and sullivan and milley. the architects of military defeat of a lifetime. i am afraid afghanistan is not joe biden's legacy, i think something is worse down the road, giving religious zealots in iran a nuclear weapon, once they are in the nuclear club, you can't get rid of them, he has taken approach of begging them to negotiating table. the united states is sitting out at a card table like kids in thanksgiving waiting for the adults in the room to come out and tell them how negotiations are going, they are not well, iran is stalling, they their centrifuges are spinning, saying trying to accumulate enough fizzle material for a deliver abel weapon, then they will say, we're don't want to talk to you president biden, we're in the club, deal with us, that will be legacy of joe biden that is worse than debacle of afghanistan. they are a 3 year window of opportunity to accomplish as much as they can, i afraid it is getting worse. mark: i am afraid you are right. here is something i don't want to say. i think that american people better understand that we might go to war one day. not because of us. not because we want to, not because we're neocons or hawks. because our enemies are on the rise. this administration is provoking them with their weakness. and joe biden learned nothing in his 50 years in washington d.c. john ratcliffe. i want to thank you, i want to thank you for your service country, keep it up we appreciate it about thank you, mark. mark: we'll be right back. ♪♪♪ ♪♪♪ if your dry eye symptoms keep coming back, what?! no! over the counter eye drops typically work by lubricating the eyes and may provide temporary relief. xiidra works differently, targeting inflammation that can cause dry eye disease. it can provide lasting relief. xiidra is the only fda-approved non-steroid eye drop specifically for the signs and symptoms of dry eye disease. one drop in each eye, twice a day. don't use if you are allergic to xiidra. common side effects include eye irritation, discomfort or blurred vision when applied to the eye, and unusual taste sensation. don't touch container tip to your eye or any surface. after using xiidra wait 15 minutes before reinserting contacts. ♪♪♪ this holiday, ask your doctor about xiidra.
