The president enhancing the new strategy at the pentagon. You cite here live on fox a short time ago. Today marks the beginning of a new era in our Missile Defense program. For too long we have been held back by selfimposed limits, while foreign competitors grow and advance more than we have over the years. The world is changing, and we are going to change much faster than the rest of the world. Harris Lucas Tomlinson has more now from the pentagon. Very straight words from the president earlier today. Thats right, harris. The president spoke to to a pad pentagon auditorium, which include the Vice President , the new acting defense secretary, top brass of the public and lawmakers. He announced plans for a new spacebased Missile Defense system. He felt the United States would be able to destroy any enemy vessel, anytime, anywhere, any place. We are committed to establishing a Missile Defense program that can shield every city in the United States, and we will never negotiate away our right to do this. The president said the danger is growing. All over, foreign adversarie adversaries, competitors, and ruger regimes are steadily enhancing e arsenals. They are increasing their lethal strike capabilities, and they are focused on developing longrange missiles that could reach targets within the United States. The president did not mention russia, china, or north korea by name, but his new acting defense secretary did. North koreas missiles remain a significant concern. Americas competitors, including china and russia, are increasing their existing Missile System capabilities. They are adding new and sophisticated missiles to their arsenals. The new 108 page report has been posted to the pentagon website and includes plans for 20 new groundbased intercepts in alaska. Necessary to protect emergence from all types of missile attacks, this new Missile Defense system and the president also called for more bread and sharing with allies. North korea successfully testfired its first Intercontinental Ballistic Missile in 2016. It did not conduct any lodges last year. The new review includes plans to expand the u. S. Militarys ability to detect and potentially shoot down rogue missiles from space. Its on a scale not seen since president reagans star wars initiative. Unlike Ballistic Missiles whose follow a set and standard trajectory, hes concerned by new hypersonic missiles being developed by russia and china which can travel 20 times the speed of sound and move around in space, making them much harder to detect and destroy. The u. S. Is also developing hypersonic missiles. Its the first Missile Defense strategy review in over nine years, harris. Already the russians have weighed in prayed the russian government saying this will increase global tensions after the president s announcement. Harris i want to know more about the relationship of north korea, as he lived that outcome too. With a be any buying and selling . Lucas comeau is good to see. Thank you. Retired Army Lieutenant colonel daniel davis is with me now. Good to see you. Let me start with that point. If we are seeing a build up that we feel like we need to respond to, either technologically or physically, in weaponry, what does that mean about the people in the world who want to buy things russia and china, for example . Theres never going to be any shortage of market for people wanting to buy something that increases their ability to deter aggression or to launch aggression. Its something we need to continue to watch out for. To prevent the extent we can. Its certainly not in our favor, and something we will continue to keep a watch out for. Harris tell me what happens with our adversaries when they see the president talking. I said Straight Talk today, tough talk on what we are going to do to prepare for the future, including maybe even in space. I think its important that we take a look at this from the strategic level and not get to focus on physical things, whether its adding this number of interceptors. Look at what we are trying to accomplish. That, of course, is to maintain security for the country. Then you have to say, what is cost effective, going to give us the most safe . Technologically is where well e can afford to buy. All the way back to when reagan was present, we spent hundreds of billions of dollars over decades to try and a compass this we havent. The fact of the matter is called the Technology Just doesnt exist right now. We dont want to do is get into a new arms race where we start to spend a lot of money on something that may be no more effective than before . Important to point out, that doesnt suggest we are more vulnerable today than we were before russia talked about this hypersonic vehicle. Because our deterrent is just as powerful today as it was the day before. The reason why he would not want to fire missile is not because of my get shot down, but because there might be three of hours going in opposite direction if they did that. That still maintains today. Harris i have some video i want to share. Before i get there, i want to put a fine point emily said. We are not necessarily winning at the cyber war right now. So is it every we can definitely put some dollars. So theres plenty of room to spend money elsewhere as well. With talk about, though, this invulnerable test of a missile. This invulnerable missile to our u. S. Defense systems, by russia. That was back on september 26. Tell me what this means in terms of what the russians have. The fact of the matter is, they already have invulnerable missiles. Its not commonly known, but the fact is that icbms can virtually not be shut down by any nation. Ours included. Adding this new hypersonic vehicle makes it a little bit more effective, but we already dont have the ability to shoot those down. So thats not a new capability. It just sounds harris right is russia doing this . Its kind of a la north korea. Why show the world this is your russia . Speaker at the same thing. Its clear to me why putin is doing this. Because it makes him look tough. Make them look strong. Like, oh, i have the upper hand on the United States. People who understand whats going on behind the scenes recognize that he hasnt done anything. No new capability. It doesnt give him something an ability he had before that he didnt. It makes him look good. Its a p. R. Fight. Speed when you are the multiplatform at the present was talking about, rather, at the pentagon. We carried it here live on fox news. Just a headliner, too come about something you think they make and people need to be aware of and where our capabilities are. What America Needs to know is that we are safe. Whatever russia does, china, north korea, we are still safe because our military, our nuclear deterrent, and the ability we have to effectively shoot down some of the smaller range missiles the intermediate and possibly some of the shortrange missiles we can do some of that. It increases our deterrent. The overall Defense System and our deterrent is whats going to keep us safe. It thats why its important for us to keep talking to people. Harris a real quick yes or no do we have missiles we can fire that are invulnerable to russian defenses question quest to make absolutely, without question we do. Harris colonel davis, good to see you. Thank you. Other fox news alert, president terms team denying Michael Cohen trying to alter online polls and his boss favor head of the 2016 election. This comes after Michael Cohen confirmed the journal report saying that he paid a Technology Firm to break the polls and trumps direction. Thencandidate. Chief White House CorrespondentJohn Roberts Jones is now with more. John . Harris, good afternoon to you. This is another bombshell in a series of bombshells about Michael Cohen. This, by the wall street journal. Indicating that in 2015 this would have been before president tribune declared he was running for president that cohen paid a small i. T. Fim called red finch to fix online e shown more favorably to President Trump. According to the journal, the owner of that company showed up at trump tower to collect his money. 50,000 that he was promised. He was given and sent a blue walmart bag containing nearly 15,000 in cash and coincome in the article, denies ever giving him a bag of money insisting that red finch was paid by chec. He admitted he did do it, saying wedge it was at the direction of and for the sole benefit of President Trump. I regret my Blind Loyalty to a man that doesnt deserve it. Journal also reports that while he didnt pay red finch, all of the 50,000 that was due, cohen asked for and received the 50,000 reimbursement from the trump organization. The president s attorney, Rudy Giuliani, telling foxs afternoon that President Trump knew nothing about cohen tried to alter polls. And that if he did it come he on his own. He says the Biggest Surprise is that cohen stole 37,000 from President Trump, and that you can add the title petty thief to all different labels like a liar and dishonorable lawyer that have so so far been ascribed to cohen. Giuliani also telling fox news that cohen had new authority to act on behalf of the campaign, and while the Campaign Managers didnt agree on much, they agreed that he should not be involved in the campaign. At the same time, giuliani having to clarify something that he said on cnn last night when asked about possible collusion between the Term Campaign in russia to throw the election. Listen here. I never said there was no collusion between the campaign or between people in the campaign. I had no idea i have not. I said the president of United States. It is not a single bit of evidence that the president of the United States committed the only crime you can commit here, conspired with the russians to hack the dnc. Giuliani issuing a clarifying statement a short time ago saying, i represent only present time, not the Term Campaign. There is no collusion by President Trump in any way, shape, or form. Likewise, i have no knowledge of any collusion by the thousands of people who worked in the campaign. The only knowledge you have in this regard is the collusion of the Clinton Campaign with russia, which has so far been ignored. We should point out, harris, that on many occasions and sometimes in full caps President Trump has said there was no collusion between his campaign and russia. Harris . Harris john roberts, thank you very much. I want to bring and now robert ray, former whitewater independent counsel and former federal prosecutor. Fingers being here great to be with you. Harris i want to get your thoughts on where Rudy Giuliani was last night. The campaign, the president , and then these renewed statements, remarks he made today. I think the first reaction i had is, in some sense, he may be bracing for bad news. I think its anticipatory to further revelations from Michael Cohen, paul manafort, so on, and so forth. Remember, he represents the president. He doesnt represent the campaign. He doesnt represent the white house or the administration or anything else. He does represent a client. His client is President Trump. He is right to make the point, that the only thing he has a responsibility for us to defend the president against allegations that the president was involved as a candidate with regards to illegal activity. There is an emphatic denial. There always has been an emphatic denial. For the life of me i cant quite understand what the whole firestorm is. Look is it desirable in the process of defending a client to be able to say, theres no evidence of collusion whatsoeve whatsoever . Sure. We all understand whats coming next. Youre going to hear further things from Michael Cohen. If you looked at what was disclosed there, it would be the first time that people who work for a campaign confuse the fact that they are acting for the benefit of the campaign with the fact that they are actually being directed by the candidate to do something. There is a long difference in proof between Michael Cohen saying ive done things wrong and acted unlawfully and have committed felonies, and another thing to be able to accept from him without cooperation corrobt there is proof that the ventcandidate trump directed those illegal activities. We saw this, before in connection with Illegal Campaign violations. And his suggestion that he did all this of the direction of the president , thencandidate trump, and then the same convention which i think we are going to get more of. That is going to be, look, i did these things with regard to poll ats and so forth at the direction of either candidate or the direction of the campaign. Harris let me get to this. This was precandidate status, 2015. So this is a situation where Michael Cohen was representing the president of the United States, and surreptitiously recording him, we are led to believe, from some point on into the future. We can put that where it is. Michael cohen found criminally lying. Now we learn that he stole 37,000 from thendonald trumpcitizen. Not present. We have a lot of facts together here. We dont have is what he has told robert mueller. We also dont know whether that is corroborated. Harris even telling me reeks in educating all of us on the importance of that corroboration. When you know you are dealing with somebody like we might not be honest, especially when theyre facing march 6 the prison time. You got to do your homework. Its very politically convenient for people to jump on the bandwagon of essentially accepting at face value whatever Michael Cohen says. Harris i dont think any good attorney would. They would do it you said, cooperate. Experience has shown to be very careful about doing that. Harris quickly, before you have to go, i talked last hour about there being receipts. Thats the cool kuwait these days of saying evidence. Clearly, if theres information out there that metaphor anybody else is handing over pulling information to russian operative. If those things exist, and we would hope because of the position that cohen and manafort others or are in, they would be corroboration. Your thoughts on that real quickly with regard to the investigation . I think you would be well to not rely on the uncorroborated word of an admitted felon. Also, more importantly, someone who has admitted to perjuring himself. The coin of the realm with regard to that, of course, is accepting his veracity. His veracity is already one of being a convicted felon for perjury. Harris even you use the word bracing or something. Bracing for revelations. They know darn well that whats coming are all these disclosures and anticipations of sentencing. In the further cooperation about what it is the individuals have told special counsel mueller office. Mr. Muellers obligation is also to make sure before any conclusions or findings are rendered that the information is corroborated. He wouldnt rely on the uncorroborated word of a convicted perjurer. Harris robert ray, thank you for coming in. We appreciate it. President trump urging democrats to go around Speaker Pelosi to negotiate an end to the shutdown. What any of them break rank .
