THIS AS KIM JONG UN HAS SENT
JOINING KNOW DISCUSS FOX NEWS
SENIOR ANALYST JACK KEANE,
PLEASURE TO SEE YOU, THANK YOU
SO MUCH FOR JOINING US.
>> GOOD TO SEE YOU, MARIA.
MARIA: LET ME START OFF WITH
WHAT'S TAKING PLACE IN NORTH
KOREA, WHAT DO YOU MAKE OF THIS
LETTER FROM KIM JONG UN WANTING
A SECOND SUMMIT?
>> SEEMS LIKE WE HAVE BEEN HERE
BEFORE, IF YOU RECALL WE WERE
GOING TO HAVE A SUMMIT AND THEN
THERE WERE SOME BELLIGERENT
LANGUAGE THAT CAME OUT OF THE
NORTH KOREANS AND PRESIDENT
TRUMP CANCELED THE SUMMIT,
QUICKLY THEREAFTER NORTH KOREANS
IS AS A RESULT OF BELLIGERENT
LETTER AND PRESIDENT TRUMP
CANCELED SECRETARY POMPEO'S
VISIT, THIS IS -- THE CHALLENGE
TO TAKE TWO STEPS FORWARD AND
COME FORWARD AND ACTUALLY PUT IN
A NUCLEAR DENUCLEARIZATION PLAN
ON THE TABLE FOR US TO BE ABLE
TO OBSERVE WITH INTERNATIONAL
INSPECTORS AND MAKE PROGRESS
DESPITE ALL OF THE OTHER
POSITIVE SIGNS OF REMAINS BEING
RETURNED, HOSTAGES BEING
RETURNED, THE TALK OF ENDING AND
WAR IN THESE YEARS, THERE'S BEEN
NO CONCRETE DENUCLEARIZATION
THAT WE ARE AWARE OF AND THAT IS
MOST VITAL STEP THAT HAS TO BE
THE NORTH KOREANS DID THE
MILITARY PARADE EARLIER THIS
AS IN THE PAST.
>> CERTAINLY MILITARY PARADES
ARE MESSAGE PARADES, PROPAGANDA,
SETTING UNEQUIVOCAL MESSAGE BUT
NOT HAVING MISSILES THERE,
CERTAINLY THE FRIENDLY LETTER IS
PART OF THAT.
MARIA: GENERAL --
MARIA: LET ME ASK YOU ABOUT
RUSSIA AND CHINA.
VLADIMIR PUTIN IS SITTING DOWN
FOR BILATERAL WITH XI JINPING,
SHOULD WE BE WORRIED ABOUT
GROWING MILITARY TIES BETWEEN
THE NATIONAL SECURITY STRATEGY
THAT THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION
PRODUCED LAST YEAR AND ALSO THE
NATIONAL DEFENSE STRATEGY THAT
THE PENTAGON PRODUCED IDENTIFY A
DIFFERENT ERA THAT WE ARE IN AND
THEY DESCRIBE IT, I THINK, VERY
ACCURATELY, THE STRATEGIC
FRAMEWORK OF BIG POWER
COMPETITION WITH RUSSIA AND
GREATEST OF ANY COUNTRY IN THE
CAPABILITIES THAT EXPOSE OUR
VULNERABILITIES AND ADVANCE
THEMSELVES, WE HAVE TO RECOGNIZE
THAT, THEY LOOK AT THE
INTERNATIONAL ORDER, MARIA THAT
WE'VE HAD FOR 70 PLUS YEARS THAT
IN OUR MIND HAS HELP TODAY
THEY SEE THAT AS NOT IN
INTERNATIONAL INTEREST AND THEY
WANT TO CHANGE IT SO THEY ARE
GETTING CONSIDERABLY MORE
AGGRESSIVE AND THEY ARE
DEVELOPING CAPABILITIES TO
EXPAND THEIR MILITARY SO THEY
CAN DEPLOY IT, SOMETHING THE
OBVIOUSLY ARE DOING AS YOU SEE
IN CRIMEA, IN UKRAINE AND NOW IN
SYRIA.
MARIA: YOU KNOW, GENERAL, HERE
WE ARE 17 YEARS AFTER 9/11 AND
WE ARE STILL LEARNING THE COST
OF WAR SINCE 9/11, WE HAVE A NEW
ANALYSIS FROM THE DEPARTMENT OF
DEFENSE THAT THE U.S. HAS SPENT
MORE THAN 1 AND A HALF TRILLION
SEPTEMBER 11TH IN 2001,
CHARACTERIZE WHERE WE ARE,
GENERAL, AFTER WE'VE SEEN SUCH
EFFORTS TO PUSH BACK AGAINST
TERRORISTS SINCE THE FATEFUL DAY
SEPTEMBER 11TH, 2001?
>> WELL, I THINK ON THE POSITIVE
SIDE WE HAVEN'T SEEN
CATASTROPHIC ATTACKS IN THE
UNITED STATES OR IN EUROPE BY
THE TERRORISTS BECAUSE WE'VE
STAYED ON OFFENSE AGAINST AND
CLEARLY WAS THE THING TO DO THAT
NO LONGER JUST TREAT THEM AS
CRIMINALS, WE HAD TO GO POST9/11
FIND THEM IN SANCTUARIES AND
KILLED AND CAPTURE THEM, THAT
BECAME MISSION FOR THE MILITARY,
NOT MISSION FOR INVESTIGATORS
CHALLENGE WE HAVE IS BECAUSE --
BECAUSE IT IS AN IDEOLOGY,
MARIA, DESPITE THE NUMBERS THAT
WE'VE KILLED AND DESPITE THE
NUMBERS THAT WE'VE CAPTURED IT'S
THEIR LIVES, WE CAN'T DO THAT
HERE FROM AMERICA, THAT HAS TO
BE DONE INSIDE MUSLIM COUNTRIES,
AND OTHER THOUGHT LEADERS IN
THOSE COUNTRIES, PRESIDENT TRUMP
HAS APPEALED TO THE LEADERS OF
THOSE COUNTRIES 55 OF THEM IN A
ROOM WITH HIM LAST JULY IN
RIYADH AND SAYING MUCH THE SAME
THING BUT WE WILL ALSO CONTINUE
HORRIFIC BEHAVIOR ACCOUNTABLE,
THE BARBARISM WE CANNOT IGNORE
BUT AT THE SAME TIME WE HAVE TO
WORK VERY HARD ON CHANGING THIS
IDEOLOGY BECAUSE THAT'S WHAT
A FIGHTER, THEY'RE REPLACED, WHY
IT'S BECAUSE AN IDEOLOGY AND
PEOPLE ARE STILL CALLED TO THIS
MOVEMENT.
MARIA: SHOULD THE PRESIDENT BE
DOING SOMETHING DIFFERENTLY
ELIMINATING THE CALIPHATE, WHAT
WE HAVE TO MAKE CERTAIN WE DO
AND I BELIEVE THE ADMINISTRATION
HAS MADE THIS DECISION AND WE
WILL STAY THERE EVEN WHEN THE
PRESIDENT THINKS WE OUGHT TO
LEAVE, WE WILL STAY AND MAKE
SURE THAT ISIS REEMERGES, IF
ISIS REEMERGES THE PRESIDENT
OWNS THAT PROBLEM AND I THINK
THEY RECOGNIZE THAT.
MARIA: BECAUSE HE STARTED OFF
WITH A DIFFERENT STRATEGY THAN
BARACK OBAMA, DIDN'T HE?
HE BASICALLY GOT TOUGHER
LISTENING TO HIS GENERALS IN
TERMS OF WHAT TO DO RATHER THAN
TAKING A STEP BACK.
>> NO, THAT'S TRUE, THAT'S
ABSOLUTELY TRUE, WE HAVE
GOING TO TAKE VIGILANCE, WE
CAN'T BE LEAVING IRAQ LIKE
PRESIDENT OBAMA DID, WE HAVE TO
STAY THE COURSE.
REMEMBER, WE STAYED IN EUROPE
COUNTRIES POST CONFLICT.
MARIA: RIGHT.
>> WHERE WE'VE DONE THAT WE'VE
HAD SUCCESS LIKE WE LEFT LIKE
EDUCATE THE AMERICAN PEOPLE WHY
THIS IS NECESSARY, WHY --
MARIA: VERY GOOD POINT BECAUSE
PEOPLE -- THEY CALL TIT LONGEST
WAR, WHY ARE WE STILL THERE, WHY
ARE IN PLACES AND THEN, OF
COURSE, THERE'S SYRIA, NATIONAL
SECURITY AMBASSADOR JOHN BOLTON
IS WARNING THE COUNTRY THAT THEY
FIGHT FOR THE IDLIB PROVINCE,
HERE IS WHAT HE SAID IN
WASHINGTON, LISTEN TO THIS, I
HAVE TO GET YOUR REACTION.
>> WE TRIED TO CONVEY THE
MESSAGE IN RECENT DAYS THAT IF
THERE'S A THIRD USE OF CHEMICAL
WE'VE BEEN IN CONSULTATION WITH
THE BRITISH AND THE FRENCH WHO
JOINED IN THE SECOND STRIKE AND
THEY ALSO AGREE THAT ANOTHER USE
OF CHEMICAL WEAPONS WILL RESULT
IN MUCH STRONGER RESPONSE.
MARIA: THIS ADMINISTRATION IS
MAKING NO SECRET OF THE RED LINE
>> YEAH, ABSOLUTELY, I THOUGHT
THE SECOND STRIKE WE SWOWLD HAVE
GONE MORE CAPABILITY, ALL AIR
POWER TO SEND CLEAR MESSAGE WE
WILL NEVER TAKE THIS AGAIN.
TAKE A LOT OF CAPACITY, THAT'S
WAY IN THEY USE CHEMICAL WEAPONS
AGAIN.
IS ASKING, PLEASE ASK THE
GENERAL ABOUT THE NORTH KOREAN
ECONOMY MISSILE MANUFACTURING
STILL THE MAIN SOURCE OF
REVENUE, THIS IS COMING FROM OUR
VIEWERS?
>> MISSILE MANUFACTURING AND
WEAPONS MANUFACTURING AT LARGE
IS ONE OF THE MAIN SOURCES OF
REVENUE AND WILL CONTINUE TO BE
THAT, THAT'S ONE OF THE REASONS
WHY NORTH KOREA IS SO DANGEROUS
BECAUSE WE ARE NOT CERTAIN HOW
MANY NUCLEAR WEAPONS THEY HAVE,
WE THINK IT'S IN EXCESS OF 10,
OVER THE YEARS, IT'LL CONTINUE
TO GROW IF THEY DON'T
DENUCLEARIZE, WHAT ARE THEY
GOING TO DO WITH THE WEAPONS,
SOME OF THE WEAPONS THEY WILL
SELL, THAT'S THE THING WE ARE
CONCERNED ABOUT, THEY SELL THEIR
MISSILES.
