THE ATTACK THAT STOPPED THE COUNT OF THE PRESIDENTIAL VOTE TRIGGERED THE LARGEST PROSECUTION IN U.S. HISTORY.
BUT NOW, HISTORY IS BEING CHALLENGED. FORMER PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP CALLS THE CONVICTED "PATRIOTS"
WORTHY OF PARDONS. WHAT IS THE EVIDENCE? WE BEGIN WITH THE PROSECUTOR IN CHARGE.
U.S. ATTORNEY MATTHEW GRAVES TOLD US WHAT DRIVES THE PROSECUTION OF JANUARY 6th. >> THE CRIME WAS SEVERE, IT WAS
AN ATTACK ON OUR DEMOCRACY. ONCE YOU REPLACE VOTES AND DELIBERATION WITH VIOLENCE AND INTIMIDATION, YOU'VE LOST THE
DEMOCRATIC PROCESS. YOU'VE LOST THE RULE OF LAW. BUT IT'S ALSO ABOUT THE VICTIMS, THE OFFICER VICTIMS WHO WERE
INJURED THAT DAY, AND MAKING SURE WE HOLD PEOPLE ACCOUNTABLE FOR THE HARM THAT THEY INFLICTED ON THE 140 OFFICERS WHO ARE
REPORTED PHYSICAL INJURY. >> MATTHEW GRAVES HAS WORKED IN THE BUSH AND BIDEN JUSTICE DEPARTMENTS.
NOW, AS U.S. ATTORNEY FOR THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, HE'S WON MORE THAN 1,000 JANUARY 6th CONVICTIONS AND LOST ONLY TWO OF
THE CASES AT TRIAL. WHAT'S THE BEST EVIDENCE THAT YOU'VE HAD? >> THE CRIMES THAT OCCURRED THAT
DAY ARE PROBABLY THE MOST RECORDED CRIMES IN ALL OF OUR HISTORY, YOU ALSO HAVE THE WORDS OF THE DEFENDANTS EXPLAINING

THAT'S HUGHES, INSIDE, AT THE DOOR, KICKING IT OUT SO THE MOB CAN RUSH IN. >> YOU GUYS DON'T WANT THIS.
YOU DON'T [ BLEEP ] WANT THIS. AND WE ARE [ BLEEP ] MAD. >> NO MATTER HOW I LOOK AT IT, I SHARE SOME RESPONSIBILITY FOR
EVERYTHING THAT HAPPENED THAT DAY. BUT I HAD A LOT OF TREMENDOUS AMOUNT OF RESPECT FOR THE POLICE
AND I DIDN'T LIKE SEEING THEM ASSAULTED. >> WE DIDN'T SEE A LOT OF RESPECT FOR POLICE IN THAT

>> Reporter: DEMOCRATRY STOPPED FOR ABOUT SIX HOURS. THE VOTE WAS COUNTED AT 3:44 A.M.
WITH TWO WEEKS UNTIL INAUGURATION DAY IT WAS THE TRUMP JUSTICE DEPARTMENT THAT SET THE STANDARDS FOR THE
PROSECUTIONS. DECISIONS WERE MADE BY "CAREER" PROSECUTORS WHO WORK AT JUSTICE FOR YEARS REGARDLESS OF WHO THE
PRESIDENT MIGHT BE. >> THE CAREER PROSECUTORS QUICKLY REALIZED THAT YOU NEEDED GLIENTS IN PLACE, DETERMINATIONS
ABOUT WHO WAS GOING TO BE CHARGED, WHO WASN'T GOING TO BE CHARGED AND WHAT THEY WOULD BE CHARGED WITH.

THE CAREER PROSECUTORS PUT IN PLACE DURING THE PRIOR ADMINISTRATION. >> HOW DID THEY GUIDE YOU.

>> WELL, THANK YOU VERY MUCH AND YOU SEE THE SPIRIT FROM THE HOSTAGE AND THAT'S WHAT THEY ARE, IS HOSTAGES.
THEY'VE BEEN TREATED TERRIBLY AND VERY UNFAIRLY AND YOU KNOW THAT AND EVERYBODY KNOWS THAT AND WE ARE GOING TO BE WORKING

SUPPORTERS DIED THAT DAY -- ONE DRUG OVERDOSE, TWO FROM CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASE. AND A POLICE OFFICER DIED OF A
STROKE THE NEXT DAY. IN THE DEBATE, MR. TRUMP ACKNOWLEDGED ONE DEATH BUT HE SAID THIS IN AUGUST.
>> WHEN YOU COMPARE THE THEM TO OTHER THINGS THAT TOOK PLACE IN THE COUNTRY WHERE A LOT OF PEOPLE WERE KILLED, NOBODY WAS
KILLED ON JANUARY 6th. >> Reporter: FORMER PRESIDENT TRUMP IS HIMSELF A JANUARY 6th DEFENDANT, IN A SEPARATE
PROSECUTION LED BY SPECIAL COUNSEL JACK SMITH. TRUMP WAS INDICTED BY A GRAND JURY FOR ALLEGING TO CONSPIRE TO
OVERTURN THE ELECTION WITH LIES HE KNEW WERE FALSE. THE SAME MYTHS THAT STOKE RAGE IN JEROD HUGHES.
WHERE WERE YOU GETTING ALL THIS INFORMATION. >> FOX NEWS. STUFF I READ ON THE INTERNET.
OBVIOUSLY TRUMP HIMSELF, SAYING THAT THE ELECTION WAS STOLEN. >> Reporter: FOX NEWS PAID $787 MILLION TO SETTLE A SUIT THAT
CLAIMED THAT FOX REPEATEDLY LIED ABOUT THE ELECTION AND KNEW IT. WERE THE JANUARY 6th PROTESTERS DUPED?
>> YES. >> Reporter: THOMAS GRIFFITH IS A CONSERVATIVE, RETIRED, FEDERAL
JUDGE WHO CO-AUTHORED "LOST, NOT STOLEN, A YEAR-LONG INVESTIGATION BY CONSERVATIVES INTO THE 2020 ELECTION.
>> THE CONCLUSION OF THE REPORT WAS THAT THERE'S NO EVIDENCE THAT FRAUD CHANGED THE OUTCOME OF AN ELECTION IN ANY PRECINCT
IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. >> ANY PRECINCT? >> AND ALL OF THE EVIDENCE, NOT THE SPECULATION, NOT THE
CONSPIRACY THEORIES, ALL THE EVERYDAY POINTS IN ONE DIRECTION. AND THAT'S THAT PRESIDENT BIDEN
WON, AND PRESIDENT TRUMP LOST. >> Reporter: JUDGE GRIFFITH WAS APPOINTED BY GEORGE W. BUSH TO THE COURT OF APPEALS FOR THE
D.C. CIRCUIT, HE RETIRED IN 2020 AFTER WORKING FOR YEARS WITH MOST OF THE 29 JUDGES WHO HAVE HEARD JANUARY 6th CASES.
>> NONE OF THESE JUDGES IS POLITICALLY BIASED. THESE DEFENDANTS HAD EVER CHANCE IN THE WORLD TO DEFEND
THEMSELVES AGAINST THESE CHARGES. AND THEY DIDN'T SUCCEED. >> YOU SEEM TO BE SAYING THAT
JUSTICE WAS DONE? >> ABSOLUTELY, JUSTICE WAS DONE. >> Reporter: JUSTICE FOR JEROD HUGHES MEANT TURNING HIMSELF IN
AND PLEADING GUILTY TO OBSTRUCTION OF AN OFFICIAL PROCEEDING. THE SUPREME COURT STRUCK DOWN
THAT CHARGE IN ANOTHER, BUT IF HUGHES APPEALS, HE'LL FACE OTHER CHARGES THAT PROSECUTORS DROPPED.
SO, AFTER 20 MONTHS IN CUSTODY, INCLUDING PRISON, HE'S DECIDED TO JUST WRAP UP HIS LAST DAYS OF HOME DETENTION.
>> IF I COME TO FIND OUT THAT I WAS DEAD WRONG ON THIS, THAT THE ELECTION WAS ACTUALLY LEGIT AND JOE BIDEN GOT THE MOST VOTES IN
PRESIDENTIAL HISTORY, I WOULD BE EXTREMELY EMBARRASSED. BUT I DON'T BELIEVE THAT THOUGH. WHETHER I'M RIGHT OR WRONG, I
EBL BELIEVE WHAT WAS WE DID WAS PATRIOTIC. BECAUSE WE TRULY BELIEVED THAT THE ELECTION WAS STOLEN FOR A
NUMBER OF REASONS. >> THOUGH THE VOTE COULD WANT WAS DELAYED THE TRANSFER OF POWER WAS ON TIME WITH A NEW
PRESIDENT EMERGING FROM THAT SAME WEST FRONT TUNNEL DEFENDED BY OFFICER DANIEL HODGES. >> IF THESE DEFENDANTS ARE
PARDONED THEN SO MUCH OF WHAT THEY BELIEVE OR BELIEVED ON THAT DAY WILL BE JUSTIFIED IN THEIR HEADS, THAT IF THEY DO IT AGAIN
THAT THEY'LL BE PROTECTED AND IT WOULD BE JUST INCREDIBLY DESTRUCTIVE FOR THE FABRIC OF THE COUNTRY.
>> NOW, THE TRIALS THEMSELVES WILL BE JUDGED BY VOTERS WHO WILL DECIDE WHETHER THE DEFENDANTS WERE PROSECUTED AS
CRIMINALS OR CHOIR BOYS. THE ALLEGATION IS MADE THAT THE WHITE HOUSE IS GUIDING YOUR WORK.
>> I'VE NEVER MET PRESIDENT BIDEN, LET ALONE TALKED TO HIM WHICH IS NORMAL. I WOULD ADD BECAUSE THERE ARE
WALLS FOR VERY GOOD REASONS BETWEEN THE DEPARTMENT OF JUSTICE AND THE WHITE HOUSE, SO THAT PROSECUTION CAN FOCUS ON
WHAT IT SHOULD BE FOCUSED ON, WHETHER THERE ARE VIOLATIONS OF LAW AND WHETHER THOSE VIOLATIONS OF LAW CONSISTENT WITH THE RULES
THAT WE FOLLOW SHOULD BE FEDERALLY PROSECUTED. >> THERE ARE PEOPLE MAYBE MILLIONS OF PEOPLE IN COUNTRY
ARE SKEPTICAL OF WHAT YOU JUST SAID. >> NO ONE IS PROSECUTED FOR THEIR VIEWS, THEY'RE BEING
>>> IF THERE'S GOING BE A MILITARY CONFLICT BETWEEN THE UNITED STATES AND CHINA, THE THINKING IN WASHINGTON GOES, IT
WILL MOST LIKELY HAPPEN IF CHINA TRIES TO INVADE TAIWAN. BUT LATELY TENSIONS HAVE ESCALATED PRECARIOUSLY IN
ANOTHER PART OF THE SOUTH CHINA SEA -- THE WATERS OFF THE WESTERN COAST OF THE PHILIPPINES WHERE AN INTERNATIONAL TRIBUNAL
RULED THAT THE PHILIPPINES HAS EXCLUSIVE ECONOMIC RIGHTS. BUT CHINA CLAIMS ALMOST ALL OF THE SOUTH CHINA SEA, ONE OF THE
WORLD'S MOST VITAL WATERWAYS THROUGH WHICH MORE THAN $3 TRILLION IN GOODS FLOW EACH EAR. TO ASSERT ITS CLAIMS CHINA HAS
BEEN USING TACTICS JUST SHORT OF WAR, LEADING TO VIOLENT CONFRONTATIONS. THE UNITED STATES HAS A MUTUAL
DEFENSE TREATY WITH THE PHILIPPINES WHICH COULD MEAN AMERICAN INTERVENTION, IT'S BEING CALLED THE MOST DANGEROUS
CONFLICT NO ONE IS TALKING ABOUT. AND LAST MONTH WE SAW FOR OUR OURSELVES JUST HOW DANGEROUS IT
CAN BE. >> WHEN WE BOARDED THE SHIP LAST MONTH, IT WAS SUPPOSED TO BE FOR A ROUTINE MISSION RESUPPLYING
SHIPS IN THE SOUTH CHINA SEA. BUT IN THE MIDDLE OF OUR FIRST NIGHT. SIRENS RAGED.
CREW MEMBERS RUSHED BETWEEN DECKS. 4:00 IN THE MORNING, ALL SOUND ASLEEP THE ALARM JUST WENT OFF
ON THE SHIP, WE WERE TOLD TO WAKE UP AND PUT OUR LIFE JACKETS BECAUSE WE HAVE JUST BEEN RAMMED BY A CHINESE BOAT.
THERE WAS CONFUSION AND FEAR. OUR TEAM WAS TOLD TO STAY INSIDE FOR SAFETY. IT WAS UNCLEAR IF WE'D TAKE ON
WATER OR IF THE CHINESE WOULD FORCE THEIR WAY ONBOARD. THEY PREPARED FOR THAT POSSIBILITY.
THIS CELL PHONE VIDEO SHOWS THE MOMENT JUST AFTER IMPACT, THE SHIP, 269 FEET LONG, NEARLY THE TWICE AS LONG, JAMMED INTO THE
REAR RIGHT SIDE OF THE SHIP. WHEN THE CHINESE PULLED AWAY -- THE FILIPINOS FOUND A HOLE AND THE OFFICER TOLD US THAT THE
DAMAGE WAS ABOVE THE WATER LINE. THERE ARE ABOUT 4 OR 5 DIFFERENT THESE BOATS SURROUNDING US AT THE MOMENT.
THEY CAN SEE ON THE RADAR THAT MORE ARE COMING RIGHT NOW. >> THIS HAPPENED ABOUT 60 NAUTICAL MILES OFF THE COAST OF
THE PHILIPPINES. ON THE WAY TO THE PLACE CALLED SABI IN, A SHOAL. THEY HAVE COAST GUARD VESSELS
AROUND THE SHOAL IN RECENT MONTHS. IN 2016, AN INTERNATIONAL TRIBUNAL RULED THE PHILIPPINES
HAS EXCLUSIVE ECONOMIC RIGHTS IN A 200-MILE ZONE THAT INCLUDES SABINA SHOAL. CHINA DOES NOT RECOGNIZE THE
RULING AND SAYS THE SOUTH CHINA SEA HAS BEEN ITS TERRITORY SINCE ANCIENT TIMES. WE'RE JUST GETTING OUR FIRST
LIGHT, WE HAVE A MUCH BETTER SENSE OF JUST HOW SURROUNDED WE ARE BY CHINESE VESSELS. THESE SAY CHINESE COAST GUARD.
WE HAVE BEEN HERE GOING ON FOR ABOUT TWO HOURS. WE'RE JUST COMPLETELY SURROUNDED BY CHINESE SHIPS.
14 IN ALL, INCLUDING A MILITIA OF LARGE FISHING VESSELS TO BLOCK SHIPS LIKE THE ONE WE WERE ON.
THE FILIPINOS TRIED TO NEGOTIATE A WAY OUT BUT ULTIMATELY WERE FORCED TO ABANDON THE FIRST STOP OF THEIR MISSION.
WE'RE NOT GOING TO SABINA. IN THEIR DAMAGED BOAT, THEY HAD TO TAKE A LONG DETOUR TO THEIR NEXT SUPPLY DROP AS CHINESE
SHIPS FOLLOWED CLOSELY. BY THIS TIME THE CHINESE ALREADY PUBLICIZED THEIR VERSION OF THE INCIDENT ACCUSING THE FILIPINOS
OF INSTIGATING THE CONFLICT AND HIGHLIGHTING OUR TEAM'S FACES ACCUSING US OF BEING A PROPAGANDA CAMPAIGN.
>> THEY'RE SAYING THAT THIS IS YOUR FAULT. THIS COLLISION IN. >> YES, YES.
IF YOU DO THE RAMMING THE OTHER SHIP WOULD HAVE THE DAMAGE. NOT YOUR SHIP. >> Reporter: THE CAPTAIN THE TOP
RANKING OFFICER ON THE CAPE TOOK US BELOW DECK TO SURVEY THE DAMAGE, HE TOLD US IT WOULDN'T STOP THEM FROM CONTINUING ON.
>> THIS IS OUR PLACE. THIS IS OUR EXCLUSIVE ECONOMIC ZONE, THIS IS THE PHILIPPINES. >> OVER THE PAST TWO YEARS, THE
CHINESE HAVE TURNED THE SOUTH CHINA SEA INTO A DEMOLITION DERBY, REPEATEDLY RAMMING PHILIPPINES SHIP AND BLASTING
THEM WITH WATER CANNONS. WHAT WE SAW IN THE CAPE, REPRESENTED A SIGNIFICANT ESCALATION, BRINGING THE BATTLE
LINES CLOSER THAN EVER TO THE PHILIPPINES SHORE. BIDEN ADMINISTRATION CONDEMNED CHINA FOR WHAT IT CALLED
DESTABILIZING CONFLICT. THIS BECAME AN INTERNATIONAL INCIDENT. >> I'VE BEEN ASSIGNED HERE FOR
TWO YEARS, THIS IS WHAT WE DEAL WITH EVERY DAY. >> IS IT GETTING WORSE? >> YES, IT'S GETTING WORSE.
>> WHAT'S BEHIND THIS UPTICK IN TENSION? WHAT CHANGED? >> WHAT CHANGED IS THE
PHILIPPINES TO SAY NO. >> YOU'RE STANDING UP TO CHINA. >> YES, YES. THEY DON'T LIKE IT.
>> Reporter: THE PHILIPPINES SECRETARY OF NATIONAL DEFENSE. >> THE PROVERBAL SCHOOLYARD BULLY IS THE BEST EXAMPLE OF
WHAT CHINA IS, IT JUST MUSCLES YOU OVER. >> Reporter: FOR EXAMPLE, HE SAYS, THE APTLY NAMED MISCHIEF
REEF IN THE PHILIPPINES ECONOMIC ZONE ONCE LOOKED LIKE THIS, IT NOW LOOKS LIKE THIS, IN THE 1990s THE CHINESE TOOK OVER AND
STARTED TURNING THE REEF INTO A MILITARY BASE. AS THE CAPE PASSED NEAR MISCHIEF REEF, A CHINESE NAVY DESTROYER
APPEARED. THEY REPEATEDLY ASKED FOR SAFE PASSAGE. >> MAINTAIN SAFE DISTANCE, OVER.
>> Reporter: EACH TIME THERE WAS NO RESPONSE, IN A GAME OF CAT AND MOUSE THE DESTROYER EDGED FORWARD.
THE FILIPINOS FORCED TO COME TO A STOP AND ADJUST COURSE TO AVOID ANOTHER COALITION WE MET RETIRED U.S. AIR FORCE RAY
POWELL WHO RUNS THE NONPROFIT >> YOU SEE THESE SHIPS GOING DOWN. >> HOW DO THEY GET AWAY WITH
THIS. >> THERE'S A LAW, A JUDGE, THERE'S NO ENFORCER. >> UNLESS THE U.S. DECIDES TO
INTERVENE. >> THAT'S THE PROBLEM. >> Reporter: THE U.S. IS BOUND BY TREATY TO DEFEND THE
PHILIPPINES IF IT COMES UNDER ARMED ATTACK. I WANT TO UNDERSTAND A SCENARIO WHERE THAT RED LINE COULD BE
CROSSED. >> IMAGINE IF THAT SHIP HAD SUNK YOUR SHIP AND SEVERAL PEOPLE HAD DIED, WHAT WOULD THE PHILIPPINES
FEEL COMPELLED TO DO, THEY MIGHT GET ON TO A WAR FOOTING. GO TO THE UNITED STATES AND SAY, THIS LOOKS LIKE AN ARMED ATTACK
TO US. >> IN A SCENARIO LIKE THAT WOULD THE UNITED STATES BE OBLIGATED TO INTERVENE?
>> LOOK, EVERY TREATY DEPENDS ON THE POLITICAL WILL OF THE PARTIES. WHAT I'LL SAY IF THE UNITED
STATES FAILS OR APPEARS TO FAIL TO MEET ITS TREATY OBLIGATIONS THE ENTIRE ALLIANCE MEANS ON CREDIBILITY.
>> THE U.S. HASN'T HAD A PERMANENT MILITARY PRESENCE IN THE PHILIPPINES SINCE 1992.
THOUGH IT DOES CONDUCT REGULAR JOINT EXERCISES AND THIS YEAR COMMITTED $500 MILLION IN MILITARY AID TO MANILA AND
ANOTHER $128 MILLION TO UPGRADE BASES. WE MET THIS GENERAL, THE MILITARY CHIEF OF STAFF AT ONE
OF THOSE BASES AFTER HE LANDED IN HIS FIGHTER JET FOLLOWING AN AERIAL RECOGNIZANCE FLIGHT OVER THE SOUTH CHINA SEA.
HOW MUCH TIME DO YOU SPEND FOCUSED ON CHINA? >> ALMOST THE WHOLE DAY. >> Reporter: LAST YEAR GENERAL
BONNER VISITED THE PHILIPPINES, A GROUNDED WORLD WAR II BATTLE SHIP, MANNED BY SOLDIERS AND USED TO HOLD DOWN MANILA'S CLAIM
TO A DISPUTED AREA IN THE SOUTH CHINA SEA, THE SCENE OF THE MOST VIOLENT INCIDENT TO DATE. IN JUNE, WHEN THE PHILIPPINE
NAVY TRIED TO RESUPPLY THOSE TROOPS THE CHINESE BLOCKED THE DELIVERY. IT WAS NEAR HAND TO HAND COMBAT.
>> WHAT WAS SURPRISING WAS THAT THEY HAD WEAPONS WITH THEM, THEY HAD SPEARS WITH THEM. >> NEVER SEEN THAT BEFORE?
>> WE HAVEN'T SEEN THAT BEFORE AND THEY BEGAN ATTACKING OUR BOATS, THEY STARTED PUNCTURING OUR BOATS WITH THEIR SPEARS.
>> Reporter: A FILIPINO NAVY SALE LOST HIS LEFT THUMB AFTER THE CHINESE RAMMED HIS BOAT. >> THEY STOLE OUR EQUIPMENT.
THEY DESTROYED OUR COMMIT. THEY HURT OUR PERSONNEL. THESE ARE THE DOINGS OF PILOTS. I WARNED OUR PERSONNEL IF THIS
HAPPENS AGAIN YOU HAVE THE RIGHT TO DEFEND YOURSELVES. >> IF THEY FIRED UPON YOUR MEN AND YOUR MEN FIRE BACK, SIR,
THAT SOUNDS LIKE THE MAKINGS OF THE BEGINNING OF A WAR? >> YES, INDEED. >> Reporter: THE DEFENSE
SECRETARY TOLD US THERE ARE ONGOING CONVERSATIONS BETWEEN WASHINGTON AND MANILA ABOUT WHICH SCENARIOS WOULD TRIGGER
U.S. INVOLVEMENT. SOME UNPREDICTABLE INCIDENT AT SCENES COULD TENSIONS TO ESCALATE AND THE PHILIPPINES NOT
TAIWAN BECOMES THE FLASH POINT IN THE SOUTH CHINA SEA. >> YES, DEFINITELY. >> Reporter: IF THEY TOOK THE
SIERRA AMERICA ADRE WOULD THAT MERIT U.S. INTERVENTION. >> WOULD YOU EXPECT U.S. INTERVENTION --
>> WE'LL REACT. NATURALLY WE'D EXPECT IT. >> YOU'RE TALKING ABOUT A RUSTY OLD WARSHIP, HOW REALISTIC IS IT
TO EXPECT THE UNITED STATES TO INTERVENE OVER THE FATE OF A WARSHIP LIKE THAT. >> THERE ARE PEOPLE IN THERE,
THAT'S AN OUTPOST OF PHILIPPINES SOVEREIGNTY. WE'RE TALKING ABOUT A PIECE OF TERRITORY IN THERE.
>> Reporter: PRESIDENT BIDEN HAS INVITED FERDINAND MARCOS JR. TO THE WHITE HOUSE TWICE IN THE PAST 16 MONTHS AND HAS ASSURED
HIM OF AMERICA'S SUPPORT. >> I WANT TO BE VERY CLEAR THE UNITED STATES DEFENSE COMMITMENT TO THE PHILIPPINES IS IRONCLAD.
>> Reporter: EARLIER THIS YEAR, WASHINGTON SENT THE PHILIPPINES A POWERFUL WEAPON DURING JOINT EXERCISES, A MID-RANGE MISSILE
SYSTEM CAPABLE OF REACHING MAINLAND CHINA. THAT CLEARLY ANGERED CHINA IN A BIG WAY.
>> THIS IS FOR PHILIPPINES DEFENSE. >> WHAT HAPPENS WITHIN OUR TERRITORY IS FOR OUR DEFENSE.
WE FOLLOW INTERNATIONAL LAW. >> DO YOU PLAN TO KEEP MID-RANGE MISSILES CAPABLE OF REACHING MAINLAND CHINA.
>> I CANNOT CONFIRM NOR DENY IF THERE'S SUCH A PLAN. >> Reporter: YOU SAY WHAT'S THE FUSS, CHINA SAYS THAT YOU'VE
BROUGHT THE RISK OF WAR INTO THE REGION BY DOING THIS. >> THAT'S WHAT THEY ALWAYS SAY, EVERYTHING THE WORLD DOES THAT
THEY DON'T LIKE IS THE FAULT OF THE WORLD. >> HOW DO YOU THINK THIS ENDS, THOUGH, YOU DON'T EXPECT CHINA
TO PACK UP AND LEAVE, DO YOU? >> I REALLY DON'T KNOW THE END STATE. ALL I KNOW IS THAT WE CANNOT LET
THEM GET AWAY WITH WHAT THEY'RE DOING. DOING. >>> WHAT WAS IT LIKE BEING
ONBOARD DURING AN INTERNATIONAL INCIDENT ON SCENE. >> THE
