The u. S. Navy mobilized for destroyers and air assets to guide the ships away from u. S. Waters. While they never entered our territory, some say this hit too close to home. Arthel all of this is because the first look at one of the two u. S. Navy sailors a charge last week with selling americas military secrets to china. Lucas tomlinson is live in wilmington, delaware with all the latest, lucas . Arthel it was 11 or russia chinese warships combined in this flotilla. That is the largest in history from those nations to combine and send it worship so close to american shores while keeping in International Waters as you pointed out. A spokesman for the u. S. Military said theres no interaction between that russian chinese armada and any u. S. Assets. Spokesman from Northern Command continued in statement to fox news nor u. S. North, actively monitor the russian and chinese Combined Naval Patrol that operated near alaska earlier this week, maritime assets under our commands conducted operations to assure the defense of the United States and canada. The patrol remained in International Waters and was not considered a threat. Now the u. S. Navy dispatch for warships and a pa Reconnaissance Aircraft to shadow of the russian chinese armada of course the u. S. Navy routinely sells its warships implies Reconnaissance Aircraft in the Taiwan Strait off the coast of china while also keeping in International Waters. Recall chinese fighter jet that buzz the u. S. Air force biplane in the South China Sea back in may official say perhaps the russian and chinese are just returning the favor. Many lawmakers say the u. S. Is now in a c cold war with china s evidenced by the Justice Department charging the two chineseamerican sailors with a spine, espionage for china providing beijing with sensitive Military Information including plans for a mobile radar system used for air Traffic Control at Missile Defense to detect aircraft cruise missiles and drones. Many republican lawmakers want to see the Biden Administration spent much more on defense for that point to the sides of chinas navy which is now the largest in the world, arthel. Arthel it with this as a backdrop theres lots of concern over thof the Hunter Biden Probd lots to say on the sunday talk shows. What did you hear . Former Baltimore Police commissioner appeared on Fox And Friends this morning. He is talking about what he says is a twotiered system of justice support he received 10 months in jail if you recall, because he owed 67000 in taxes to the u. S. Government. He points to hunter biden not likely to receive jail time for oh eight much more, over 2 million. It was painful and disturbing to hear about it. It made me quickly think about the twotiered Justice System that has been around for a long time. The twotiered Justice System is divided by privilege and on the other side of that is those who are non privileged. It is notable, arthel the same Justice Department prosecutor tried both cases the ex Baltimore Police commissioner and hunter biden that mans name is leo weiss. Democrats contend the focus should be on donald trump and not hunter biden. If hunter biden committed crimes hunter biden should face injustice and accountability for those crimes published by the way is a sentence i have heard very few republicans say about donald trump for much more than massive crimes. Hunter bidens legal team and d. O. J. Prosecutors still need to hammer out the plea deal to satisfy the judge here in wilmington of course that plea deal fell apart days ago right here in wilmington, arthel. Quicksort lucas tomlinson, thank you very much lucas. Well have more on the store sty south republican congressman russell fry is on the House Oversight committee that interviewed devon archer. Former President Trump was on the campaign trail last night fresh off his third indictment legal setback held a rally in South Carolina where he blasted Bite Ratcheting up with his one time mvp mike pence. We got all the angles covered on how trumps legal troubles are affecting race for the white house. First to alexandria half in washington for. The former president now faces a total of 78 charges and three separate cases his legal team said today they are expect a fourth indictment to come out of georgia in the coming weeks. On the campaign trail the leading gop primary candidate remains defiant and his supporters last night appeared and wavered. I never heard the word indictment all of a sudden over. A couple weeks to get four you r indictments, they do this to try and win an election. Nobody thought it would was possible instead in third world countries its not done this country. Truck pleaded not guilty thursday to charges stemming from over to the president ial Election Results. Before at last nights rally, e lobbed a truth the social post at his former Running Mate Writing i never told a newly emboldened pence to put me above the constitution or that mike was too honest. He was delusional and now he wants to show is a tough guy. Pence is working through the rnc donor pulling threshold for the debate this month has added fire to his res responses saying this today. President trump was wrong then and he is wrong now. I had no right to overturn the election put our constitution is more important than any one man. Our country is more important than any one mans career. Trumps legal team was given a blow yesterday when the judge and most recent case denied a motion to give them more time to respond to a protective order requested by special counsel jack smith the d. O. J. Said this is necessary to protect witnesses but now the response deadline as is 5 00 p. M. Tomorrw for trumps team. This is the problem with bringing a political prosecution in a political season. President trump was responding in a political way to some of his political opponents. In the Biden Administration once the judge to put in place in order that will prevent the press from obtaining exculpatory and Material Information that might be relevant to these proceedings. What it would do is limit what trump and his legal team could say publicly about the case for it by the way Attorney Jon Morrow added he would welcome former Vice President pence as a witness for the defense in the Election Results case, brian. Bryan Alexandria Hoff Reporting live thank you. Arthel for more on this will bring and doctor laurent right she is Princeton University political scientists. And lord i want to start the d. O. J. Order that would limit what Discovery Evidence trump could share publicly about the ongoing criminal case related to false claims 2 the 2020 president ial election was stolen as well as a charges a former president conspired to overturn the election. Do you think this is the right call . Want all discovery come out and be made public during the trial . Eventually, yes. The legal aspects of this or not the area of my expertise. But i can tell you as someone who studies trumps a public remarks very closely and has for some time now, that he might not listen to his lawyers who are saying absolutely keep quiet about this. Do not share revelations do not share information, thats part of the trout youre just going to get yourself in trouble. So what we might be likely to see is trump defying those sorts of orders and making things even more difficult for himself. He has embraced this a fight and probably will continue to do so. Arthel too that point the federal prosecutors filed a motion friday night just hours after mr. Trump suggested on his Social Media Platform that he would take revenge on anyone who goes after him. You know it by heart now, if you go after me i am coming after you. Should this type of pronouncement be written off as a bluster . Could a Public Statement like this interfere with impeding trials as well as the current president ial race . That is a great question but for a normal person whos not donald trump or even a former president who does not speak this way in public typically, yes it edges on witness tampering those are allegations that have been made against front before. Intimidation of possible witnesses. An inferred trump he does not listen to those sorts of things. And so what he will probably continue to do is cast as much doubt and go as close to the line as possible. Perhaps before a judge directly confronts him about those sorts of statements. If we take a big step back from this, and i know you and i discussed this quite often, a lot of this type of a bluster if we could call it that is meant to amp up trump a supporters it is probably not going to get him the effect he imagines it is these are all diehard people listening to the speeches will vote for him anyway. No matter what. It is very, very hard to imagine and i think the assumption is made way too often that there are voters out there who were planning to vote for joe biden in the first place but then heard trump saying how he is a victim of the legal system and is having these unfair restrictions placed on him. And then somehow converting to his side. It is just not realistic but he is probably understandably trying to energize his supporters as much as possible. Arthel the former president tells his supporters, they want to silence me because i will never let them silence you. This is all very different i will say but lets take a look at the latest abc poll that shows nearly two thirds of americans think january 6 charges against trump are serious including 51 who say, think we have the pulping and pop it on, there it is. 51 who said they are very serious and then 14 who said they are somewhat serious. And then guys, want to take a look at a recent reuters poll found 45 of republican respondents said they would not support trump if he were convicted of a felony while 52 of the same respondent said they would not support trump if he were currently serving time in prison. So lauren, as a political scientist how will these current times impact american democracy . Those numbers you just cited have been remarkably consistent since april. They are National Averages they are informative. Especially of the general election voters. And so yes, trump has to think about the sorts of things when he calculates his Campaign Strategy but i will tell you this if republicans rely on the Trump Centric Issues and the trump indictments as their key issue to get this man reelected, they will not be very successful. That warning goes for democrats too. To print if their only message is that trump behaved criminally, morally, unethically which as you cited the majority of americans do agree with most of that, they are not going to have a potent Campaign Message is just not enough. At this point though, on the democratic side President Biden is a candidate and hes not talking about he does not want to interfere with ongoing trials and cases i should say i can see former president. But finally to the point you were just making, how do you assess the former president just talking about the 2020 election and all of the indictments against him on how unfair and unfounded they are. How do you analyze hes not talking about how he would improve our nation and the lives of americans . Approximate in both the candidate seem to be talking about that at nausea him we have evidence by the way from the 2022 midterms that these sorts of messages dont work. Heading into 2022 pew research for example consistently polled americans on their top issues, 18 issues and guess what was at the very bottom of the list . Investigations into donald trump and investigations into joe biden. Never mind the Hunter Biden Investigations which are probably even a lower priority even if his behavior is alienating and not relatable and seen as a criminal to a lot of americans. And so it is important to step back and realize americans have other concerns, the economy, immigration, crime, inflation, all of these issues would be a better bet if you wanted to decide how much of the pie of your messaging should be accounted for by daytoday issues for americans versus investigations into the former president. Arthel not to mention the roads people are driving on the airports they are showing up at and also certainly not to dismiss you have china and russia having joint operations just off the coast of military operations just off the exercises off the coast of alaska. Lots of things to be concerned about. Coron these topics of a politicl sciences. Thank you very much.
