TRISH: BREAKING OVERNIGHT,
EVERYONE, CHINA REPORTEDLY CAME
VERY CLOSE TO GETTING ITS HAND
ON OUR NUCLEAR CODES.
PRETTY SERIOUS STUFF.
ACCORDING TO AXIOS, WHEN
PRESIDENT TRUMP WAS VISITING
CHINA LAST NOVEMBER CHINESE
OFFICIALS TRIED TO STOP A
MILITARY AIDE FROM CARRYING OUR
NUCLEAR CODES INTO A STATE
BUILDING.
THESE CODES MUST BE WITH THE
PRESIDENT AT ALL TIMES.
SO, WHEN CHIEF OF STAFF JOHN
KELLY FOUND OUT, HE GOT IN A
PHYSICAL ALTERCATION WITH
CHINESE SECURITY.
AXIOS CLAIM AT NO POINT DID THE
CHINESE HAVE OUR CODES OR EVEN
TOUCH THE BRIEFCASE WITH THE
CODES, AND CHINA CLAIMS THIS IS
JUST ONE BIG MISUNDERSTANDING.
IS IT?
WERE THEY TRYING SOMETHING HERE?
WERE THEY TESTING US?
JOINING US, JOINING ME RIGHT NOW
FOX NEWS MILITARY ANALYST
GENERAL JACK KEANE.
GENERAL, GOOD TO SEE YOU.
I WILL START WITH THAT.
WERE THEY TRYING TO TEST US?
>> I DON'T KNOW FOR SURE, TRISH.
YOU KNOW, BASED ON WHAT LITTLE
FACTS WE ACTUALLY KNOW BUT A
COUPLE OF THINGS HERE ARE
RELEVANT.
I DO SUSPECT THAT THAT SECURITY
GUARD WAS STOPPING A GUY BECAUSE
HE WAS MORE, HE WAS IN UNIFORM
MORE THAN ANYTHING ELSE.
THOUGHT HE WASN'T AUTHORIZED TO
BE THERE.
EVERYBODY ELSE WAS IN A SUIT.
THAT IS LOGICAL REASON WHY THE
SECURITY GUARD MAY HAVE STOPPED
HIM.
KELLY TAKES CHARGE OF THE
SITUATION.
HE KNOWS HE HAS A SERIOUS
LANGUAGE PROBLEM.
HE DOESN'T HAVE TIME TO SORT
THAT OUT.
HE PUSHES THE KID PHYSICALLY
INTO THE ROOM THEY WERE GOING
INTO.
ANOTHER SECRET SERVICE GUY GETS
INTO AN ALTERCATION WITH A
SECURITY GUARD OVER IT.
THE GOOD THING FOR OUR VIEWERS
THAT UNDERSTAND THIS, THAT
SECURITY CODEINE IF THEY GOT
THEIR HANDS ON IT IS TOTALLY
USELESS TO THEM, WITHOUT ONE
THING THAT IS THE PRESIDENT OF
THE UNITED STATES WHO CARRIES ON
HIS PERSON THE AUTHENTICATION
CODE TO MAKE THAT THOSE OTHER
CODES USEFUL.
THEY ARE ABSOLUTELY USELESS
WITHOUT HIM.
AND HIS AUTHENTICATION CODE.
TRISH: THIS GETS US TO THE
BIGGER ISSUE OF CHINA.
WE DON'T KNOW REALLY WHAT
HAPPENED.
I HEAR YOU, IT COULD HAVE BEEN
AN HONEST MISTAKE.
IT GETS US TO THE ISSUE OF
SOMETHING THAT MARCO RUBIO
CORRECTLY BROUGHT UP IN THE
SENATE INTEL HEARINGS JUST LAST
WEEK.
THAT'S THAT CHINA IS A THREAT.
IT'S A THREAT THAT WE NEED TO
START RECOGNIZING.
TALK TO ME ABOUT THAT, GENERAL
KEANE FROM ECONOMIC AND MILITARY
STANDPOINT.
>> HE IS ABSOLUTELY RIGHT, THE
SENATOR.
THE NATIONAL SECURITY STRATEGY
AND THE NATIONAL DEFENSE
SECURITY STRATEGY, BOTH IDENTIFY
CHINA AS A LONG-TERM STRATEGIC
THREAT TO THE UNITED STATES.
THE CHINESE LITERALLY COME OUT
OF THE CLOSET SO TO SPEAK.
THEY HAVE TAKEN THERAPY GLOVES
OFF.
THEY USED TO KEEP EVERYTHING
CLOSETED IN TERMS OF
GEOPOLITICAL AMBITIONS.
THEY PUT IT IN WRITING AND TALK
ABOUT IT.
IN THE PACIFIC THEY WANT TO
DOMINATE AND CONTROL THE PACIFIC
AND RESET THE STABLE AT THE
EXPENSE OF OUR ALLIES AND THE
UNITED STATES LONG-TERM
INTERESTS THAT HAS BEEN THERE
AND THEY ARE GAINING IN DOING
JUST THAT.
IN THE WORLD ITSELF, PRESIDENT
XI HAS STATED THAT IN 10 OR 15
YEARS HE WANTS TO REPLACE THE
UNITED STATES AS THE PREEMINENT
GLOBAL POWER IN THE WORLD.
THAT THE UNITED STATES IS INDEED
IN HIS MIND A DECLINING POWER
AND CHINA IS A RISING POWER THAT
CAN NOT SAY AGAIN, CAN NOT, CAN
NOT BE STOPPED ESSENTIALLY WHERE
THEY'RE GOING.
WHAT IS ON THEIR MIND.
TRISH: WE NEED TO TAKE PRETTY
SERIOUSLY.
THAT IS WHAT THEY'RE SEEING, AND
WE SIT ON OUR HAND RECOGNIZE
THAT THREAT.
WE CONTINUE TO ALLOW THE
COMPANIES TO GET THEIR
INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY STOLEN BY
THE CHINESE, IF WE CONTINUE TO
ALLOW OURSELVES TO BE TAKEN
ADVANTAGE OF TRADE POSITION BY
THE CHINESE, IN -- GENERAL, I
THINK THE FUTURE WILL LOOK
INCREASINGLY BLEAK.
IS IT TIME WE WAKE UP?
>> WE HAVE WOKEN UP.
THE POLICY OF THE OBAMA
ADMINISTRATION WAS APPEASEMENT,
ACCOMMODATION AND HEAD IN THE
SAND OVER RUSSIA AND NORTH KOREA
AND IRAN.
THIS ADMINISTRATION GETS IT.
THEY KNOW WHO THE THREATS ARE.
THEY'RE LOOKING AT WORLD
REALISTICALLY AND THEY'RE
PUSHING OUT POLICIES TO PUSH
BACK ON OUR ADVERSARIES.
AND TO SUPPORT THE UNITED STATES
INTERESTS WORLDWIDE.
THEY TOTALLY UNDERSTAND WHAT IS
HAPPENING OUT THERE.
I'M ENCOURAGING BY THAT.
WHEN STREETS LEADERSHIP IS
STRONG IN THE WORLD, TRISH, THE
WORLD IS A BETTER PLACE --
UNITED STATES.
TRISH: THAT IS WHY WE'VE BEEN A
HEGEMONIC POWER FOR SO LONG AND
NEED TO FULFILL THAT ROYAL.
