US needs a 'better handle' on this coordinated strategy, warns military expert

[LAUGHTER] MARIA: GOOD POINT. THANK YOU SO MUCH. BELARUS PRESIDENT LUKASHENKO CONFIRMED THE LEADER OF THE WAGONER GROUP ATTEMPTED A FAILED COUP AND BRECCIA LAST WEEK AND IS NOW IN BELARUS. AUTHORITIES IN MOSCOW SAY THAT THEY WILL NOT PRESS ARMED REBELLION CHARGES AGAINST HIM OR HIS FOLLOWERS. THE U.S. ANNOUNCING NEW SANCTIONS ON THE WAGONER GROUP THE GOLDEN DIAMOND OPERATIONS AND ATTEMPT TO CUT THEIR FUNDING AFTER SENDING

THOUSANDS OF TROOPS TO FIGHT IN UKRAINE. RETIRED ARMY COLONEL AND SENIOR EXPERT FOR DEFENSE PRIORITIES DANIEL DAVIS. GREAT TO SEE YOU LIEUTENANT. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR BEING HERE THIS MORNING. >> THANK YOU FOR HAVING ME. GOOD TO SEE YOU AGAIN. HOW WOULD YOU ASSESS ALL OF THIS. THE U.S. REACTION TO THE WAGONER GROUP AFTER THE COUP ATTEMPT. >> ACTUALLY IT WAS NOT SO MUCH A

COUP ATTEMPT AS IT WAS A POWER PLAY. WITHIN BRECCIA. PRIGOZHIN WAS PRETTY CLEAR WITH THE MADNESS GOING ON AND HAS BEEN SENSE SAYING THIS WAS NEVER ABOUT TRYING TO REPLACE VLADIMIR PUTIN BUT TRYING TO REPLACE THE MINISTER OF DEFENSE AND THE ARMED FORCES OF BRECCIA BECAUSE HE FELT THEY WERE DOING A TERRIBLE JOB BUT ALSO THEY WERE UNDERCUTTING HIS UNITS IN THEIR FIGHT AND HE TOOK

A LOT OF THAT PERSONAL BECAUSE THEY LOST A LOT OF TROOPS. IN THE AFTERMATH OF THIS, WE SEE THAT RUSSIA HAS RECOGNIZED HOW POWERFUL AND USEFUL THE WAGONER GROUP IS IN THEIR FIGHT. THEY HAVE BANISHED HIM TO BELARUS NOW BELARUS HAS OPENED UP AND THIS MORNING I SAW THE NEWS BEFORE WE CAME ON THAT THE PARLIAMENT HAS APPROVED THE OPENING OF TRAINING CAMPS IN BELARUS AND

YESTERDAY PRESIDENT LUKASHENKO SAYS HE'S EXCITED TO HAVE THE WAGONER PEOPLE THERE SO HE CAN TRAIN THEIR FORCES AND EXPAND HIM IN THEIR COMBAT. IT LOOKS LIKE THEY'RE TRYING TO MOVE THEM OUT OF THE WAY SO THEY DON'T RISK GOING INTO MOSCOW BUT THEY WANT TO USE HIM IN THE FIGHT POTENTIALLY AGAINST UKRAINE. MARIA: A LOT OF PEOPLE SAYING THIS SHOWS A WEAKER POLLUTANT. DO YOU AGREE

WITH THAT? I WOULD ASK ABOUT CHINA BIDEN ADMINISTRATION IS CONSIDERING NEW A ADMINISTRATION ON EXPORT OF A.I. CHIPS TO CHINA. THE WALL STREET JOURNAL REPORTED THE COMMERCE DEPARTMENT COULD IMPOSE THE NEW RULES AS EARLY AS NEXT MONTH WHICH WOULD RESTRICT CHIPMAKERS FROM SHIPPING PRODUCTS TO CHINA WITHOUT OBTAINING A LICENSE FIRST. A BIPARTISAN CONGRESSIONAL DELEGATION BY ARMED SERVICES MIKE ROGERS IN TAIWAN FOR A THREE-DAY VISIT. THE

LAWMAKER EXPECTED TO BE WITH TAIWAN'S PRESIDENT TODAY. LIEUTENANT COLONEL, YOUR REACTION TO ALL OF THIS. WE HEARD THE ADMINISTRATION WAS GOING TO COME UP WITH LIMITATIONS IN TERMS OF SELLING TO CHINA MONTHS AGO AND THAT NEVER MATERIALIZED, IS THIS FOR REAL? >> WE WILL HAVE TO SEE. JUST CHECKING ON YOUR QUESTION FIRST. WITHOUT QUESTION THIS HAS EXPOSED PUTIN TO PROBLEMS INTERNALLY BECAUSE THIS IS BEEN FESTERING

SINCE FEBRUARY THE WHOLE ISSUE WITH PER GOSHEN, AND BIG RED FLAGS THAT PUTIN DID NOTHING TO SOLVE THE MINISTER OF DEFENSE OR WITHIN PER GOSHEN WOULD'VE BLEW UP. HE'S TAKEN A LOT OF HEAT WHY WAS HE ENACTED THE SONG AND WHY DID IT TAKE PRESIDENT LUKASHENKO BEFORE IT TURNED INTO SOMETHING UGLY. ON THE OTHER HAND OR THE OTHER POINT WITH CHINA, WE HAVE TO DO SOMETHING

TO DIVERSIFY THE WHOLE CHIPMAKING ISSUE IN THE EVENT OF WAR BETWEEN CHINA AND TAIWAN WHETHER WE GET INVOLVED OR NOT IS GOOD HAVE CASTROPHIC NEAR-TERM IMPACT ON THE GLOBAL ISSUE WITH ALL THE TECHNOLOGY AND WERE BEHIND THE CURVE GETTING DIVERSIFIED SO WERE SO VULNERABLE AND ANYTHING MOVING IN THAT DIRECTION. MARIA: WE WILL SEE IF MIKE ROGERS GETS THE SAME TREATMENT THAT WE SAW MICHAEL MCCAUL GET.

WHEN HE WENT TO TAIWAN CHINA SENT AN ARMADA OF SHIPS AND SURROUNDED THE ISLAND. NICE INTIMIDATION. >> MY WORRY ABOUT THIS GENERAL, IS THIS OUR RESPONSE TO A.I., IS THIS THE EXTENT OF WHAT WERE GOING TO DO. YOU HAVE PEOPLE THAT ARE BIG INTO A.I. AND SAYING WE NEED TO BE REGULATED AND WE NEED TO MAKE SURE THIS DOES NOT GO TOO FAR AND THAT INCLUDES

FIGURING OUT A WAY TO DEAL WITH CHINA. SORRY I RAISED YOUR RANK TO COLONEL, I APOLOGIZE. IS THIS THE EXTENT OF HOW FAR WERE GOING TO GO PLAYING WITH THE CHIPS BECAUSE IT SEEMS LIKE THERE SHOULD BE MORE. >> THERE CERTAINLY DOES NEED TO BE. THERE NEEDS TO BE A MORE COMPREHENSIVE AND CORRELATED EFFORT BECAUSE YOU HAVE ISSUES OF THE ECONOMY AND NATIONAL SECURITY AND A.I.

ITSELF. ABSOLUTELY THE STUFF HAS ALL KINDS OF POTENTIAL TO GO WRONG AND SIDEWAYS ACROSS THE BOARD AND IT NEEDS TO BE REGULATED IN AN INTELLIGENT WAY BUT HAS TO BE PART OF A COORDINATED EFFORT, DIPLOMATICALLY, ECONOMICALLY AND MILITARILY SO OUR INTEREST HAS APPROVED ACROSS THE BOARD AND THAT IS ONE OF MY BIGGEST PROBLEMS THAT I HAVE WITH ALL OF THIS. THINGS SEEM TO BE GOING IN

A DISJOINTED MEASURE THAT SOMETIMES WORKS TOGETHER OR SOMETIMES WORKS APART AND IT DOES NOT SEEM TO BE UNDER ANY COORDINATION. I THINK WE NEED TO GET A LOT BETTER HANDLE ON A NATIVE STRATEGY FOR OUR COUNTRY IN ALL OF THESE AREAS TOGETHER. MARIA: GREAT TO TALK WITH YO
