Biden hopes the American people ‘don’t pick up on this’: Retired general

FOR HIS SPACE TRAVEL. MARIA: A GREAT POINT. THANK YOU. MEANWHILE THE PENTAGON IS CLAIMING THAT THE CHINESE SPY FLIGHT THAT FLEW ACROSS THE STATE FOR A WEEK DID NOT TRANSMIT DATA BACK TO BEIJING. WATCH THIS. >> THEY ARE AWARE THAT I HAD INTELLIGENCE COLLECTION CAPABILITIES AND HAS BEEN OUR ASSESSMENT NOW THAT IT DID NOT COLLECT WHILE IT WAS TRANSITING THE UNITED STATES. >> YOU BELIEVE YOUR EFFORT STOPPED IT FROM COLLECTING AND TRANSMITTING OR WAS IT ABLE TO COLLECT BUT NOT TRANSMIT? >> WE BELIEVE IT DID NOT COLLECT WHILE IT WAS TRANSITING THE UNITED STATES WERE FLYING OVER THE UNITED STATES AND CERTAINLY THE EFFORTS THAT WE MADE CONTRIBUTIVE. >> IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE, INTELLIGENCE AGENCIES ALSO CONCLUDED APPARENTLY WHAT WE ALL KNEW ALL ALONG AND WE'VE BEEN REPORTED ON THE PROGRAM THAT THE SPY CRAFT WAS USED FOR SPYING AND U.S. TECHNOLOGY ON IT TO DO SO. AMERICAN TECHNOLOGY IN THE SPY BUILDING. JOINING ME FOR CENTER AMERICAN FORMER NATIONAL ADVISOR TO MIKE PENCE IN THE AUTHOR OF WAR BY OTHER MEANS. A GENERAL IN THE TRUMP WHITE HOUSE. GENERAL KEITH KELLOGG BACK WITH US. ALWAYS A PRESENT UNDER PLEASURE. THANK YOU FOR BEING HERE. >> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME. MARIA: THE PENTAGON IS WATCHING HIS WORDS WITH THE WHOLE STATEMENT THAT IT DID NOT TRANSMIT DATA BACK. IT IS HARD TO BELIEVE I SPOKE WITH THE FORMER DIRECTOR OF NATIONAL INTELLIGENCE JOHN RATCLIFFE WHO TOLD ME HE'S PRETTY SURE IT FACT SEND INFORMATION BACK TO BEIJING. WHAT IS YOUR ON THIS? >> YOU HIT THE NAIL RIGHT ON THE HEAD. IT'S A PORTION OF THE LANGUAGE HOW YOU LISTEN TO THEM. I REALLY DO BELIEVE THEY SEND IT BACK. WHEN YOU COLLECT INFORMATION AND SENT BACK IMMEDIATELY, THEY DON'T STORE IT WHEN THEY SAY THEY DID A COLLECTIVE THAT MEANS PUTTING IT TOGETHER A PORTION OF THE WORDS, COURSE THEY SENT IT BACK. THEY WOULD NOT PUT A SENSOR PACKAGE THAT LARGE IN A SENSOR PACKAGE ON THE BALLOON MOST PEOPLE SAY THE SIZE OF A SCHOOL BUS. THEY COLLECTED IT OPTICALLY AND SIGNAL INTELLIGENCE AS WELL. WHEN THEY TRAVERSE THE UNITED STATES AND WHAT IT CROSSED MONTANA. HE LOITERED UP THERE BECAUSE THE BALLOON HAD THE ABILITY TO LOITER AND THINK OF AS LIKE A VACUUM CLEANER AND SUCK UP ALL THE INFORMATION IN THE MOST SENSITIVE SITES AND THAT IT TRANSITED AND WENT ACROSS THE AIR FORCE BASE WHERE THE. JUAN: 'S ARE AT AND WENT ACROSS THE ENTIRE UNITED STATES COLLECTED THIS INFORMATION. YOU WOULD NOT KNOW WHAT BECAUSE WE DID NOT HAVE THE ABILITY TO LISTEN INTO WHAT IS HAPPENING BUT OF COURSE THEY SENT IT BACK, HERE'S THE THING THAT THEY NEED TO UNDERSTAND THEY HAVE SUPERCOMPUTERS BACK IN CHINA JUST LIKE WE HAVE SUPERCOMPUTERS HERE. THE INFORMATION WAS CODED, THEY CAN BREAK THOSE CODES LIKE NSA CAN BREAK THE CODES. IF YOU THINK THEY WERE UNABLE TO COLLECT INFORMATION AND TRANSLATE THE INFORMATION IT IS A FOOL'S GAME. I THINK THE PENTAGON HAS BEEN VERY, VERY CAUTIOUS PARSING THE LANGUAGE. I WOULD TELL MOST PEOPLE THEY COLLECTED INFORMATION, WE SHOULD'VE NEVER ALLOWED THE BALLOON TO TRANSIT THE UNITED STATES AND TAKE IT OVER ALASKA AND WE MADE A HUGE MISTAKE. MARIA: I ASSUMED ALL OF THAT BECAUSE THEY HAVE LIED SOMEBODY TIMES IN THE WAY HE IS PARSING HIS WORDS IT IS SO OBVIOUS HE IS TRYING TO SAY SOMETHING WITHOUT SAYING IT. IT IS UNBELIEVABLE TO ME THAT THIS A ADMINISTRATION ABOUT THE BALLOON TO FLY A COST OUR COUNTRY FOR A WEEK BEFORE SHUTTING IT DOWN AND HOVER AROUND HER MILITARY INSTALLATIONS. WE KNOW BEIJING IS AN ADVERSARY AND THEY WILL NOT CALL THEM THAT. >> YOU ARE SO RIGHT, WORDS REALLY DO MATTER AND YOU HAVE TO CALL IT OUT AS IT IS THEY ARE AN ADVERSARY WHEN THEY TALK ABOUT FOR COMPETITOR, NO FRIENDS IS A COMPETITOR THEY ARE AN ADVERSARY, CALL THEM OUT AND RESPOND TO THAT MY CONCERN WOULD REALLY DON'T HAVE A PLAN TO RESPOND WHEN YOU LOOK AT WHAT THIS ADMINISTRATION IS DOING THEIR LEADING EVENT BY EVENT GO BY AND THEY ARE NOT RESPONDED THEIR HOPE IN AMERICA PEOPLE DON'T PICK UP ON THIS. IT IS A PATTERN AND I'M SORRY THE CHINESE HAVE A PATTERN OF POWER PROJECTION AND PROVOCATION AND ALL WE DO IS USE PLATITUDES INSTEAD OF RESPONDING IN A VERY AGGRESSIVE WAY LOOK WITH HER DOING GLOBALLY IN OUR HEMISPHERE AS WELL. WE HAVE TO COME UP WITH A PLAN IS A LITTLE TOO LATE WITH THIS ADMINISTRATION. WE HAVE TO COME UP WITH A PLAN ECONOMICALLY, DIPLOMATICALLY, MILITARILY AND HOW WE CAN COMBAT AND CONFRONT CHINA AND WE HAVE NOT DONE IT AT ALL. MARIA: I WOULD LIKE TO KNOW WHY IT IS IT APPEARS THE ADMINISTRATION IS FAVORING CHINA OVER AMERICA AND AMERICAN CITIZENS. THE LATEST ISSUE IS PERPLEXING. THE JUSTICE DEPARTMENT THAT A NEW FLORIDA LAW WHICH RESTRICTS CHINESE LAND OWNERSHIP IN U.S. MILITARY INSTALLATION AND MAJOR INFRASTRUCTURE IS UNCONSTITUTIONAL. THE D.O.J. IS ACTUALLY SAYING THAT THE CHINESE SHOULD BE ABLE TO BUY LAND. THE LAW WOULD CAUSE SERIOUS HARM TO PEOPLE SIMPLY BECAUSE THEIR NATIONAL ORIGIN CLAIMS THE D.O.J. CONTRAVENE FEDERAL CIVIL RIGHTS LAWS UNDERMINE CONSTITUTION RIGHTS AND WILL NOT ADVANCE THE STATES GOAL OF INCREASING PUBLIC SAFETY. GENERAL THIS IS EXTRAORDINARY THAT THE D.O.J. IS BASICALLY SAYING THAT FLORIDA SHOULD ALLOW CHINA TO ACQUIRE LAND NEAR MILITARY INSTALLATIONS. >> THE LAST WORDS YOU DECIDE ARE SO CRITICAL THEY'RE NOT GETTING THIS IN THE MIDDLE OF NOWHERE WHEN YOU SEE WHERE THEY'RE BUYING THE LAND, THEIR BUYING AROUND THE MOST STRATEGIC SITES. IF YOU TOOK A MAP OF THE UNITED STATES AND SHOW WHERE THEY'RE BUYING LAND AND PUT HER MILITARY SITE SIDE-BY-SIDE YOU SAY WOW, THEY ARE REALLY DOING THAT IN DOING IT FOR A REASON THEY EVENTUALLY SET UP SIGNAL COLLECTION SITES AROUND THE SITES AND IMPEDE AND LISTENING TO WHAT WERE TRAINED TO DO, PEOPLE NEED TO REALIZE THAT THAT'S A SIMPLICITY THEY'RE DOING IT WITH A VERY BIG PURPOSE AND THAT IS TO COLLECT ON AMERICA AS WELL AND THAT GOES BACK FULL CIRCLE. WHAT ARE YOU GOING TO DO TO COUNTER. WHEN WERE IN THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION, PRESIDENT TRUMP FOUGHT VERY HARD WE DID NOT HAVE TO ECONOMICALLY DECOUPLE FROM CHINA, WE HAVE TO MAKE A STATEMENT DO SOMETHING TO MAKE SURE THAT THEY UNDERSTAND THAT WERE SERIOUS ABOUT THIS IF THEY PUT MILITARY FORCES WERE LISTENING SIDE AND CUBA, THAT'S 100 MILES OFF THE SHORE, I KNOW IT'S A REAL STRETCH BUT MAYBE TIME WE PUT MILITARY FORCES AND STRUCTURE IN TAIWAN IS A HUNDRED MILES OFF THE SHORE. IT'S A QUID PRO QUO, WERE NOT SEEN ANY OF THAT AT ALL. THAT'S A BIG CONCERN WE DID WITH THE SOVIET UNION WE HAD THE CONTAINMENT THEORY AND STRATEGY AND WE HAVE GOTTEN THE SAME THING WITH CHINA. MARIA: IT IS EXTRAORDINARY TO ME HOW MUCH SUPPORT THE CHINESE COMMUNIST PARTY GETS WITHIN THE ADMINISTRATION. ARE THEY ALL COMPROMISED. HERE WE ARE HAVING A CONVERSATION ABOUT THIS BY BALLOON SENDING INFORMATION BACK TO BEIJING ABOUT OUR MILITARY INSTALLATIONS. AT THE SAME TIME HAVING A CONVERSATION ABOUT CHINA WANTING TO SET UP SPYING AND SURVEILLANCE AROUND THE MILITARY INSTALLATIONS IN FLORIDA ON LAND IN THE D.O.J. SAY NO, LET THEM DO IT. ARE THEY ALL COMPROMISED THE WAY JOE BIDEN APPARENTLY IS? >> THIS IS ONE WHERE YOU GET A HOLD OF THE NATIONAL SECURITY COUNCIL WHICH IS THE INTEGRATING AGENCY AND YOU BRING IN D.O.J., DOD AND THE NATIONAL SECURITY AGENCY AND CYBER COMMAND AND WHAT'S GOING ON AND YOU PRESENT THE CASE, YOU COULD NOT DO IN SILOS AND SAY THIS IS A D.O.J. ISSUE, THIS IS MORE THAN A LEGAL ISSUE. IT'S A NATIONAL SECURITY ISSUE, THAT CASE HAS NOT BEEN PRESENTED TO THE AMERICAN PEOPLE OR ANYBODY ELSE AND YOU NEED TO UNDERSTAND THERE IS A THREAT THERE AND THEY DO NOT ADDRESS AS A THREAT UNTIL WE DECLARE A THREAT THAT THEY ARE AN ADVERSARY THEN YOU DON'T TAKE ANY ACTIONS. IT'S NOT INFORMING THE AMERICAN PEOPLE, THIS IS THE END OF THE RADAR. THAT'S WHAT THIS ADMINISTRATION DOES FRANKLY QUITE WELL THEY IGNORE AND HELP AMERICAN PEOPLE IGNORE AS WELL IT IS SOMETHING THAT CANNOT BE IGNORED IN THE FUTURE. MARIA: THEY COME OUT WITH STATEMENTS THAT ARE HALF TRUE OR NOT TRUE INCLUDING WHAT THEY ARE TRYING TO GET US TO BELIEVE WITH THIS B
