DAVID: LUCAS THANK YOU SO MUCH.
>> JOINING ME NOW TO DISCUSS
RUSSIA GROWING NUCLEAR
PROVOCATION, AND PRESIDENT
TRUMP'S VISIT TO IRAQ, CHRISTIAN
WHITEN.
FORMER SENIOR ADVISER.
THIS HYPERSONIC WEAPON, IS THIS
EVERYTHING THAT RUSSIAN SAY IT
IS.
>> I DON'T THINK IT IS, HYPER
SONICS HAVE BEEN COMING ALONG,
THEY ARE DEVELOPING THEIRS,
WE'RE DEVELOPING OURS, I AM MORE
WORRIED ABOUT CHINA, CHINA HAS
RESOURCES TO POUR INTO THESE NEW
TYPES OF TECHNOLOGIES.
WHAT PUTIN SAID AS FAR AS THIS
IT IS SUSCEPTIBLE TO MISSILE
DEFENSES WE NEED MORE MISSILE
DEFENSES, WE'RE FOULKED ON A
LIMITED ATTACK NOT A BROAD
ATTACK FROM RUSSIA AND CHINA.
DAVID: WHAT GETS ME IS PRESS
REACTION.
THEY SUGGEST THAT THIS IS
RUSSIA'S ANSWER TO THE U.S.
PULLING OUT OF THE TREATY WHEN,
THIS HYPER SONIC HAS BEEN IN THE
WORKS FOR YEARS THERE IS NO WAY
IT COULD HAVE BEEN REACTING TO
SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED A COUPLE
MONTHS --
>> THAT IS IGNORANCE AND FAKE
NEWS, A HYPERSONIC CRUISE
MISSILE IS DIFFERENT FROM A
BALLISTIC MISSILE.
SO, TWO DIFFERENT THINGS, AND
THEY TAKE A LONG TIME TO DEVELOP
AND WE HAVE JUST PULLED OUT OF
THE INF, WE PULLING OUT BECAUSE
RUSSIA VIOLATED IT, AND ARMS
CONTROL DOES NOT WORK WITH
RUSSIA.
>> LET'S TALK ABOUT CHINA.
BECAUSE, A LOT OF PEOPLE ARE
FORE
MORE CONCERNED ABOUT IT.
A HUGE COUNTRY BY COMPARISON IN
POPULATION, AND IN TERMS OF SIZE
OF THE ECONOMY.
IT FOCUSING SO MUCH OF ITS
ATTENTION, ITS MONEY ITSELF BUT
TECHNOLOGY.
WHICH IS CONTROLS, EVEN IF
KAWLTD A PRIVATE COMPANY.
WHAT DO YOU THINK HOUR BIGGEST
CONCERN SHOULD BE AT THE MOMENT
WITH REGARDS TO CHINA?
>> I THINK IT WILL --
MULTIFACETED WITH HARD POWER.
AND NAVAL AND AIR FORCE
EXPANSION, NO COUNTRY INCLUDING
OUR OWN HAD A NAVAL EXPANSION
LIKE THERE AND HAD AD VENTURE
WITH IT.
THEN THERE IS MORE CYBER AND
SAVVY COMPONENTS OF THIS.
YOU KNOW PRESIDENT HAS WON A
INCREASE IN DEFENSE BUDGET, OR
717 BILLION IN THIS FISCAL YEAR,
BUT IT HAS NOT TRANSLATED TO
MORE SHIPS, AIRCRAFT AND
MISSILES.
PARTLY BECAUSE WE'VE BEEN
SPENDING SO MUCH ON MIDDLE EASTM
SPENDING SO MUCH ON MIDDLE EASTD
SPENDING SO MUCH ON MIDDLE EASTL
SPENDING SO MUCH ON MIDDLE EASTE
EASTERN WARS, IF YOU ADD SYRIA
AND AFGHANISTAN THAT IS 60
BILLION A YEAR.
THAT COULD GO A LONG WAY.
DAVID: I AM SUSPENDING THAT YOU
SUPPORT HIS DECISION, VIS-A-VIS
SYRIA AND POSSIBLY AFGHANISTAN
PULLING TROOPS OUT?
>> I THINK IT VERY DIFFICULT TO
UNDERSTAND, NOW ONE SEEMS TO WHO
UNDERSTAND, NOW ONE SEEMS TO WHT
UNDERSTAND, NOW ONE SEEMS TO WHO
UNDERSTAND, NOW ONE SEEMS TO WH-
BOTHERING TO TRY TO EXPLAIN WHAT
WE WILL ACCOMPLISH IN
AFGHANISTAN THAT WE HAVE NOT
ALREADY ACCOMPLISHED.
YOU KNOW THANKFULLY YOU KNOW,
NUMBER OF PEOPLE WHO ARE KILLED
IN ACTION DECREASES.
FOR EVERYONE ONE WE LOSE DOLLAR
10 MORE WHO ARE MAIMED, WE'RE
LOSING 20 VETERANS A DAY TO
SUICIDE, THE COST OF THIS IS
IMEN
IMMENSE WHETHER IN HUMAN TERMS
OR MONETARYING
OR MONETARY TG
OR MONETARY TERMS.
DAVID: THEY ARE AT ODDS GENERAL
MATTIS, HAD FULL SUPPORT OF THE
PRESIDENT GOING IN AND TAKING ON
ISIS, AND CORRECT ME IN IF I AM
WRONG, HE REALLY DESTROYED THE
BASIS OF WHAT ISIS WAS, WHAT IS
GREW SCWOWRN
GREW ICWOWRN
GREW INTOWRN
GREW INTO UNDER THE OBAMA
ADMINISTRATION.
>> THAT IS RIGHT AMAZING WHAT
YOU CAN ACCOMPLISH WHEN YOU GET
THE LAWYERS OUT OF THE WAY OF
OUR MILITARY.
WE CAN SWITCH TO OTHER USES OF
THOSE FUNDS.
DAVID: I HAVE TO GO BACK TO
RUSSIA.
TO TWO THINGS.
THERE IS TALK OF THEM BUILDING A
MILITARY BASE, IN THE CARIBBEAN,
AN ISLAND OWNED BY VEN --
CERESEPTEMBER
--RESEPTEMBER
>> AS FOR REALITY OF IT PUTTING
SORT OF OBSOLETE BOMBERS AND
RUSSIA KIND OF LIMITED ON
RESOURCES, BECAUSE THEY ARE AT
THE END OF THEIR RESOURCE CHAIN
IN SYRIA, I THINK UNLIKELY IT
COMES TO PASS.
IF IT DOES WE NEED TO REACT
FIRMLY AGAIN THE GOVERNMENT IN
VENEZUELA.
>> AND THIS PROBABLY DOES NOT
DESERVE MORE THAN A FEW SECONDS,
DISCUSSION OF A DOOMSDAY WEAPON.
I DON'T KNOW IF ANYONE OUT THERE
REMEMBERS DOCTOR STRANGE LOVE
THERE IS TALK OUT OF RUSSIA IT
MAY BE BLUSTER.
BUT UNDERWATER DEVICE THEY COULD
HAVE TO SET OFF A NUCLEAR WAVE
IF YOU WILL, A TSUNAMI THAT IS
RADIOACTIVE, DO YOU KNOW
ANYTHING ABOUT THAT?
SHOULD WE PASSING IT BY?
>> TO QUOTE DR. STRANGE LOVE THE
MOVIE, YOU WOULD NOT BE HUMAN IF
YOU WERE NOT CONCERNED,AL -- IF
LUKE AT OUR THIRD NIKE
LUKE AT OUR THIRD NUCE
LUKE AT OUR THIRD NUCLEAR TEST
IT WAS A SMALL BOMB UNDERWATER,
ABSORBS A FAIR AIM
