LOU: THANK YOU, DOUG McELWAY.
RED STORM RISING.
DIRE WARNINGS FROM THE PENTAGON
AS CHINA AND RUSSIA ARE
OUTPACING THE UNITED STATES IN
HYPERSONIC TECHNOLOGY.
THEY MOVE FIVE TIMES FASTER THAN
THE SPEED OF SOUND.
HE WARNED THE UNITED STATES
LACKS AN ADEQUATE DEFENSE.
>> WE DON'T HAVE A DEFENSE THAT
COULD DENY THE OFFENSE AGAINST
US.
SO THE ON DEFENSE WOULD BE THE
NUCLEAR TRIAD.
LOU: JOINING ME NOW,
DR. SEBASTIAN GORKA.
GOOD TO HAVE YOU WITH US.
SUDDENLY WE ARE ALL TALKING
ABOUT HYPER SOMEBODYIC
MISSILES -- HYPERSONIC MISSILES
AND WEAPONRY AND THE UNITED
STATES HE APPARENTLY LAGGING
SERIOUSLY BEHIND CHINA AND
RUSSIA.
>> LET'S TAKE THE TWO QUESTIONS
AND SPLIT THEM.
THE RUSSIAN ALLEGATION OF
ADVANCED HYPER ONICS TECHNOLOGY
AND THE CHINESE ONE.
THE RUSSIAN WINS MORE SMOKE THAN
FIRE.
THE VIDEO RELEASED BY PUTIN SIX
DAYS BEFORE HIS ELECTION IS IS
SIX YEARS OLD.
BUT CHINA.
THAT'S ANOTHER STORY ALL
TOGETHER.
THEY EFFECTIVELY TESTED THESE
NEW GENERATION MISSILES.
FORTUNATE -- UNFORTUNATELY WE
DROPPED THE BALL.
THEY CANNOT BE ADEQUATELY
DETECTED BY GROUND-BASED RADARS.
WE HAVE UNDER FUNDED THAT.
IT'S GREAT SOMEBODY WITH LOTS OF
STARS ON THEIR SHOULDER IS
FINALLY PUBLICLY STATING HOW FAR
WE ARE BEHIND CHINA RIGHT NOW.
LOU: DISCONCERTING THE GENERAL
CHOSE TO MAKE THAT ANALYSIS THAT
WE ARE THIS FAR BEHIND.
THE SPEED WITH WHICH WE CAN
CATCH UP BECOMES CRITICAL HERE.
SO WHAT DO WE DO?
>> THIS IS -- I THINK MOST OF
PEOPLE IN THE SWAMP KNOW ONE OF
THE CORE REASONS WHY THE
PRESIDENT DID NOT VETO THE
OMNIBUS WAS BECAUSE OF THE
DEFENSE SPENDING THAT IT
GUARANTEED.
WE HAVE NOT LOOKED AFTER OUR
MILITARY FOR ALMOST A DECADE AND
WAS CONVINCED BY CERTAIN CABINET
MEMBERS IT IS VITALLY IMPORTANT.
THERE ARE ISSUES WITH THE WALL,
WITH PLANNED PARENTHOOD, BUT WE
HAVE TO GET OUR MILITARY UP TO
SNUFF.
WE HAVE A WINDOW THANKS TO THE
FUNDING THAT HAS BEEN APPROVED.
BUT IT'S A SMALL WINDOW AND IT'S
CLOSING.
WE HAVE HAD A NUCLEAR POSTURE
REVIEW.
WE HAVE HAD THE NFC WRITE A
NUKES JAR STRATEGY FOR THE
PRESIDENT.
WE HAVE TO GET READY FOR SPACE
AND SYSTEMS THAT CAN DETECT
HYPERSONIC MISSILES.
LOU: WE KNOW THE NAVY WAS
TESTING A HYPERSONIC WEAPON FROM
NUCLEAR SUBJECT MARINES IN THE
RACE TO HAVE THE MOST OF
ADVANCED HYPERSONIC MISSILES AND
WEAPONS.
>> THAT'S RIGHT.
WE DOMINATE NOT ONLY IN
CONVENTIONAL FORCES BUT THE
STANDARD NUCLEAR CAPABILITIES
WHETHER IT'S A TIP ON A CRUISE
MISSILE OR ICBMs.
THESE ARE LIKE BALLISTIC
MISSILES, BUT THEY COME BACK
INTO THE ATMOSPHERE, VERY HARD
TO IDENTIFY, AND TRAVELING MORE
THAN FIVE TIMES THE SPEED OF
SOUND.
IT'S NOT JUST THAT WE NEED THIS
KIND OF TECHNOLOGY, WE NEED TO
BE ABLE TO IDENTIFY IT AND
NEUTRALIZE IT BEFORE IT HITS ITS
TARGET.
LOU: I WANTED TO TURN QUICKLY TO
CALIFORNIA, THE LAWSUIT BROUGHT
BY THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION, THE
JUSTICE DEPARTMENT AGAINST
CALIFORNIA.
A DOZEN STATES ARE COMING
TOGETHER WITH THE ADMINISTRATION
IN THAT IN THE AMICUS BRIEFS.
THIS IS A STATE THAT IS REALLY
WAGING WAR ON THE
ADMINISTRATION.
WHERE DOES IT END AND MUST IT
TAKE UP ALL OF THE COURT TIME
AVAILABLE?
>> IT'S NOT JUST WAGING WAR ON
THE ADMINISTRATION AND THE
PRESIDENT.
THIS IS A STATE WHOSE
POLITICIANS ARE WAGING WAR ON
COMMON SENSE.
WHETHER IT'S SANCTUARY CITIES OR
ANY OTHER ASPECT OF THINK YOU
YOU GET TO DETERMINE FEDERAL
IMMIGRATION POLICY.
IT'S CLEAR IN OUR CONSTITUTION,
THERE IS ONE PERSON WHO DECIDE
ON IMMIGRATION POLICY, IT'S NOT
THE SUPREME COURT, IT'S NOT THE
GOVERNOR OF CALIFORNIA, IT'S NOT
INDEPENDENT MAYORS OF A SPECIFIC
DISTRICT.
IT'S THE PRESIDENT.
THE TROUBLE IS, THERE IS AN OLD
SAYING, YOU DESERVE THE
POLITICIANS YOU ELECTED TO
OFFICE, AND CALIFORNIA KEEPS
RE-ELECTED THESE PEOPLE AND THEY
