Billion dollars to arm sales to taiwan and his concerns about a key ally buying weapons from russia. All that and more on sunday morning futures. Tensions are boiling over this morning on capitol hill as the crisis on the southern border nears a breaking point. The Trump Administration says that mexicos actions have helped cut illegal immigration, but border facilities are still overcrowded. They are busting. Vice president mike pence saw that when he joined a group of republican lawmakers to visit a temporary Detention Center in texas on friday. That same day, a fiery house hearing where current and former officials told congress it must take action to solve the problem. My first guest this morning was with the Vice President on friday. He joins me now exclusive, South Carolina senator Lindsay Graham is here. He is chairman of the powerful Senate Judiciary committee and sir, it is always a pleasure to have you on the program. Thank you. Maria let me kick it off with the i. C. E. Raids that have begun today. We have got some pushback from some democrats and liberal mayors trying to stop the i. C. E. Officials and Border Patrol officials from carrying out their directive. Well, not only are they trying to stop people from being deported who have had their day in court and lost, by the way, obama deported 3 Million People, but the i. C. E. Raids today are focused on criminals who have gone to court and lost their case. Democrats are also advocating decriminalizing entry into the United States and providing free healthcare to Illegal Immigrants once they get here. Theyre becoming the party of open borders and free healthcare, and you cant deport somebody who lost their court case. This is insane. Its going to blow up in their face, and it is really doing damage to our country. Maria yeah, i want to talk a bit about whats going on at these Detention Centers. You were with the Vice President on friday. Youve been really studying this and leading this effort to change these loopholes in a big way. I want to get your take about what really you saw there, and then were going to show some pictures of some of the men behind bars. But first, give us your reaction to your time on friday. I saw a system completely overwhelmed for no good reason. Our laws are set up such that if you can bring a small child to america, coming from Central America, we can only hold a child for 20 days. Then we let the entire family go because we dont want to separate families. We cant process a case in 20 days. What did i see . 52,000 people have been released into the interior of the United States from this one Border Patrol area alone. What did i see . A system about to break. I saw brave men and women who are doing an incredible job under difficult circumstances. And im going to introduce a resolution next week praising them, the men and women of the Border Patrol and their allies. I saw 900 Illegal Immigrants that were captured for coming into our country illegally, housed in detention facilities that was meant for 385. So they had to put a tent in the back. What i saw is a bunch of people who have been here before, broke the law before, and were not going to let them go. I dont care if they have to stay in these facilities for 400 days, were not going to let those men go that i saw. It would be dangerous. I also saw that 60 different nations are sending people here illeg illegally. We caught people from iran, syria, every place in the world, theyre coming through our border. Maria they are coming from bangladesh as well. Yes. Maria the middle east, bangladesh. You said the detense centers were the Detention Center were meant to old under 400 people and there are 900 people there. These pictures are some of the pictures that have unserved unnerved some people like ocasio cortez. But these people came into this country illegally. All of them broke our law. Many of them have done it before. Were not going to let them go. This is not a concentration camp that i saw. It is a facility overwhelmed. Im willing to buy beds for these people so they will have a better place to get a night sleep, but im not going to let them go. Aoc and democrats are trying to break the system so we let these people go. They came here illegally. 700 and something adult males with criminal backgrounds by many of them, repeat offenders who have been caught before, were not going to let them go. I dont care if we have to build tents from texas to oklahoma, were not going to let these people go. They will have their day in court. We will send them back. Maria senator, a couple of months ago, you came on this program, you said look when i come back from recess, im going to make sure to attack this issue, look at the loopholes, change the loopholes. You have been working on a bill. When are you going to bring to it the floor . What can you tell us in terms of that bill . I can tell you after this visit, this bill is more necessary than ever. The bill says you cant apply for asylum in the United States if you are from Central America. Were being overwhelmed. We have had 280,000 people captured in this area of the border this year. Last year it was 120,000. Weve released 52,000 because we cant hold them. By next year there will be a half a million. If you can set one foot on american soil and claim asylum, you are entitled to a hearing. The hearing is years away. You never show up. You get here home free. Im saying you cant apply for asylum in america anymore. You have to do it in your home country or mexico. Im also saying we cant process a minor claim in 20 days, give us more time to process minor claim for families. 30 of the people with small children are fake families. The word is out in Central America, you bring a small child to the United States, you are home free. I want to change that narrative. My bill will stop 90 of this. Were going to vote before the august recess. Im willing to spend money to help Central America. Democrats have mentioned that. I will do that. But we need to change our laws or this never stops. Maria youre willing to put match that bill with also aid to Central America as a way to placate the skeptics or the pushback on the left. What im not going to do is keep the system intact because its broken. This will never stop until we change our laws. Once they hear you can no longer get released in america by bringing a small child, they will stop coming. Once they hear you cant asylum in america, you have to do it in your own country, we will stop the smugglers. This journey these people are taking are dangerous. The smugglers and coyotes are making billions of dollars transporting these peopleful i have to these people. I have to change the narrative. To my democratic friends, we will vote on my bill. I will meet you halfway. We will do things for Central America, but were not going to turn our back on this problem any longer. Maria one of the issues is that they are renting their children in places like guatemala and eel salvador so people can come over the border with a child, just as you said, people can be treated differently. Are you saying 30 of those families are not actually families . They are doing a Pilot Program and dna testing and checking an seeing are these real families . They told us about 60 children that were recycled. They picked the child up in Central America. They bring him to the United States. Everybodys released, and the child goes back to Central America to do it again. Its 8,000 for adults. 4,000 for families. Heres our law. If you bring a small child to america with you, we can only hold that child for 20 days. Since we dont want to separate families, we release them all. We released 52,000 people in to the interior of the United States at that station this year alone because we dont have places to hold them and we cant keep the family together. Maria when i was at the border, i went to el paso a couple of months ago. It was incredible. Unaccompanied minors, two sisters i saw one eight, one ten holding each others hands. Such dangerous positions these kids are being put in. Before they get to the border, they have to deal with the drug lords who are saying you want to take one more step forward . Give us money. This is a sick system. It is rotten to its core. These children have been exploited. We have picked up 100,000 unaccompanied minors this year alone. They are taking this journey. God knows what happens to them on the way. And when they get here, 98 of them stay, and the parents who send them know that if you want your child to come to america, hire a coyote. What i want is these children to be sent back to their country. Im willing to help their country do better, but we have to shut off the flow and turn on the aid. If we dont change our laws, this thing is going to completely blow up in our face, and the Democratic Party should do as much as mexico is doing to help the president. Mexico is upped its game, 28 reduction in crossing because mexicos gotten serious about it. Our democratic colleagues are perpetuating a system thats dangerous to children. Its going to result in a National Security nightmare for america because the terrorists could easily get in this group. Maria wow. It would be so easy for a terrorist from syria or iran or someplace else to go to Central America, get in the middle of the group and come to the United States. It would be so easy to do. Maria were already seeing it. Some people coming from syria. We want to take a short break. I have to ask you about iran and the seriousness of that threat. Senator graham on rising tensions with iran next. Why tehran is trying to isolate europe from the United States. Follow me on twitter Maria Bartiro bartiromo, at instagram i switched to liberty mutual, because they let me customize my insurance. And as a fitness junkie, i customize everything, like my bike, and my calves. Liberty mutual customizes your car insurance, so you only pay for what you need. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Patients that i see about dry mouth. They feel that they have to drink a lot of water. Medications seem to be the number one cause for dry mouth. I like to recommend biotene. It replenishes the moisture in your mouth. Biotene definitely works. [heartbeat] iran better be careful. They are treading on very dangerous territory. Iran, if you are listening, you better be careful. Maria that was President Trump on friday threatening new sanctions on iran, possibly, as the country ramps up its nuclear program. Tehran announced last week that it is enriching uranium beyond the level set by the obama era nuclear agreement. President trump has said he is open to making a new deal with tehran but warning he wont tolerate any further aggression. Im back with senator graham this morning, the Senate Foreign Relations Committee chairman. Sits on the Foreign Relations committee. Chairman of judiciary. Senator, what about this threat from iran, how serious is it . Are sanctions possible or potentially as a response from the u. S. . I think we need more sanctions. The president has been measured, i appreciate that. The president got out of the bad deal. Under the deal they cut with the ayatollah, he could keep his Enrichment Program, no real inspections, ten years down the road there was no limit on the Enrichment Program itself. The difference between making fuel rods for a commercial reactor which you enrich it 3 or 4 percent and a bomb is 90 percent enrichment. Heres the good deal, the iranians shouldnt be allowed to enrich uranium at all. They shouldnt be allowed to reprocess Nuclear Material at all because thats how you make a bomb. They can have a nuclear reactor, but make sure they buy the fuel from the russians or the chinese if they dont want to buy it from us. 15 countries have Nuclear Power programs but dont make their own fuel. The iranians are enriching uranium not to make fuel but to make a bomb. Maria you know, the president had given waivers in terms of operating with iran, and europe seems to be enjoying their relationship with iran, even as this is taking place. Whats the story with europe . They are just weak. They dont care if the ayatollah enriches as long as they can do business. Every arab in the mideast thought this was a bad deal for the arabs. Israel thought it was a terrible deal. If i were President Trump, i would ask the people in the region are you okay with a new deal . Mr. President , the only good deal available to you and the world is to make sure the ayatollah has no centrifuges, cant reprocess and cant enrich uranium, because if you give him those tools, one day he will have a bomb. The best deal is to have a Nuclear Power program where they cant make their own fuel like 15 other nations. Maria but it just feels like every month or every 60 days or so, you hear more threats from iran, and they seem to be trying to separate the europeans and the u. S. , so that they could keep europe on their side. Absolutely. They are trying to break the alliance apart. Trump got out of the deal because he had to. It was a lousy deal. We gave the ayatollah 150 billion dollars maria in cash. Yeah, in cash. He took it to rebuild his military, to wreak havoc on the region. There was nothing in the deal that focused on his malign behavior. It was all about a nuclear program. And all it did is slow down his march to a bomb. So a new deal would say sanctions dont come off unless you stop dismembering the mideast, and you can never enrich or reprocess uranium because theres how you make because thats how you make a bomb. I will tell the europeans if you want to side with the iranians be my guest but you wont use an American Bank or do business with the american economy. You need to pick the ayatollah or the United States. Those are your choices. Maria are you prepared to sanction whatever company or country within europe to the ground. Maria yeah. This is the biggest decision trump will make in his presidency because the ayatollahs a religious nazi. When he says he wants to destroy israel, hes not joking. When he write on the side of the missile death to israel, they mean it. Hes been trying to make a nuclear weapon, not a peaceful mu cheer power program. Nuclear power program. The guy is an absolute radical religious nazi. And the world is sitting on the side lines. The only thing between a bomb and iran is donald trump and the state of israel. The europeans cant be counted on. Im willing to ground any country or company into the ground if they try to empower the ayatollah to have the ability to make a bomb. Maria is there anything the president can do, the u. S. Can do to get europe to better align with the United States . Just tell them to pick. Pick and choose. If you want 15 nations have Nuclear Power programs but dont make their own fuel. Why dont we add all the arabs and iranians to that list. You can have Nuclear Power, but we will provide the fuel. If you make the fuel, it is a small step to making a bomb. So if the europeans are going to argue that the ayatollah should enrich uranium, then we should consider that provocative toward us and grind them into the ground. Maria is there any reason to expect a new deal with iran any time soon . I dont think i think they are going to wait trump out. I think they are going to wait President Trump out what does a new deal look like . A new deal would say you cant dismember the mideast and have sanctions relieved. Theyve destroyed yemen, syria. Theyre all over lebanon. Theyre the Worlds Largest state sponsor of terrorism. Theyve got Ballistic Missiles in violation of the u. N. Agreements and resolutions. You got to stop that, and you cant enrich or reprocess uranium or plutonium because thats how you make a bomb. That would be a good deal. Maria are you recommending any military confrontation as a result of any of this . If they go to enrichment to the levels they are talking about, if they try to restart the heavy water reactor in iraq, i would consider that a red line. I would not let them cross. Why do you need a heavy water reactor . They are trying to make a bomb. They are liars. They are not trying to produce Nuclear Power for peaceful purposes. They are trying to make a bomb. We have caught them like ten times. My red lines would be more enrichment and turning on the heavy water reactor, if we dont do it, israel will. And the only thing between the ayatollah and a nuclear bomb over time is President Trump and israelis. Maria just extraordinary. Were going to take a short break. Then i want to bring you back to domestic issues senator. Democrats have delayed the testimony from Robert Mueller to allow more time for questions. You have your own deep dive on the origins of the russia the origins of the russia investig all Money Managers might seem the same, but some give their clients cookie cutter portfolios. Fisher investments tailors portfolios to your goals and needs. Some only call when they have something to sell. Fisher calls regularly so you stay informed. And while some advisors are happy to earn commissions whether you do well or not. Fisher investments fees are structured so we do better when you do better. Maybe thats why most of our clients come from other Money Managers. Fisher investments. Clearly better money management. Maria welcome back. House democrats have reached a deal with former special counsel to delay his testimony by a week from this up coming wednesday to next wednesday july 24th in exchange for more time of more questioning. Republicans and President Trump are accusing the democrats of a political circus. Im back with senator Lindsay Graham. You have been working on your own deep dive into the origins of this russia investigation and that collusion nonsense. Tell me your reaction to mueller now going a week later. They are trying to set up a case for impeachment against President Trump. If they bring impeachment charges based on the mueller report, it would be unfair, it would blow up in their face politically, President Trump would get reelected, we would take back the house and the senate because mueller said there was no collusion. The facts in the law did not justify bringing an obstruction case. There was no underlying crime. This is all politically motivated. Does anybody really think Jerry Nadlers trying to get to the truth or that he will do a better job than mule mueller . This is from people who dont believe the president is legitimately president , they are trying to destroy his presidency. This is another effort to destroy donald trump. It will blow up in their face. After horowitz issues his report about the flawed fisa warrant, i will deep dive into how this stuff started. How could it go so far if there was no collusion . Maria what i want to know and i wonder if some of the republicans on the panel are going to ask him this, when did you know there was no collusion . He took over this job in early 17. Thats a full year, almost a year and a half before the midterm elections. When in that time did he find out that there was no collusion . And if he knew way before the midterms, why sit on it till after the midterm elections . Thats a great question. I want to explain to the public how the system works. When Hilary Clinton was investigated, she people for her literally took material and beat it up with a hammer. They destroyed evidence and no one was prosecuted. No one was flipped. Nobody was prosecuted for minor offenses to get them to talk against clinton. Everything they did to break the trump world, they treated clinton with kid gloves. They hated trump. They wanted clinton to win. This was a politicized investigation. It should scare every american. They got a warrant against carter page based on a dossier prepared by a Foreign Agent thats a bunch of garbage. Im going to get to the bottom of it and explain how one campaign was treated differently than the other to make sure it never happens again. Maria we have covered it right on and reported the truth as it was going down in the last two years. Im proud we were able to do that and our viewers were smarter as a result. Let me ask you the bottom line here, will we see criminal charges on any of these people who actually put their finger on the scale in their powerful positions and tried to stop donald trump . Im talking about people like Andrew Mccabe and peter strzok and john brennan who was running the cia. Are we going to see criminal charges on any of this . Well, i trust that mr. Durham, the u. S. Attorney in connecticut will look at it closely. I trust that mr. Horowitz will give us an in depth dive about the fisa warrant process. Im not a prosecutor. My job is to provide oversight to make sure we fix the system that no other president has to go through what donald trump went through. But yes, i think there are plenty of people involved in the 2016 election, the way they investigated the trump campaign, the fisa warrant application, where they have criminal liability, but we will leave that up to mr. Durham. But i promise you, were going to look at the other side. Mueller was the final word for me on all things trump and russia. The other side now its their turn to be looked at. Maria yeah, real quick, senator, before you go, theres a story this morning huawei is planning extensive layoffs in the United States in the wake of the blacklisting. Your reaction to that or how were dealing with china . Do you think we will see a deal between the chinese and the u. S. . Or they reneged on the bigticket items and were not going to do a deal unless they stop stealing . I dont think the president trusts china to keep their word. Hes been the toughest person on china. Hes destroyed isis, got out of the iran deal, hes built a military. I like President Trumps foreign policy, but dealing with china is a National Security issue, just not an economic issue. If we get a deal, it will be a good deal under donald trump. There will be no fake phony deals. Maria senator, always a pleasure to see you. Thank you very much. Thank you. Maria a lot to talk about with senator graham this morning. We will continue the conversation on china. I will speak with one of the men leading the Freedom Fighters in hong kong.

A revolving into massive pro democracy resistance against beijing. Organizers say that millions of protesters are hitting the streets, despite hong kongs government declaring the proposed extradition bill dead. Many activists fear that communist china is slowly trying to strip away hong kongs autonomy under the 97 hand over from british to chinese control. My next guest was recently on the front lines leading masses of hong kong residents in protest. Joining me right now in this exclusive rare interview is jimmy li, the founder and Majority Shareholder of next digital. He is a selfmade entrepreneur. Good to have you on the program. Thank you very much for having me. Maria your personal story is so extraordinary. You fled china when you were just a young boy. Went to hong kong. Tell me a little bit about your story. Why you left china . I was born in a family. I had to work when i was very young carrying packages from passengers of hong kong, macau, and that happened to be a very lucky, you know, thing to happen in my life because i carried packages. Why dont you go to hong kong and went to the hong kong in the bottom of a fishing boat. Maria you are very concerned about this extradition bill. Yes. Maria tell me about that. You started your own business. You were able to flourish despite chinese leadership saying were going to shut you down. You started a Retail Fashion business. Right. Maria and they closed down the stores in beijing; right . No, they threatened to close it so i had to sell the company because i cant use just because my political stand, i jeopardized maria with that money, you started a Media Company. Yes no, i start the Media Company already. I start the [inaudible] right after the tiananmen maria right after the tiananmen square, thats after you started the Media Company. How did you do that . Thats still under the British Colonial rule at that time. Maria when you look at these pictures of 2 Million People in the streets in hong kong, thats equivalent to, what, in the United States . 85 Million People walk out . Maria you have the chinese leadership on your back still trying to threaten you and shut you down. Tell me why this is so important to you. They havent threatened to shut me down. Just the recent years, since xi jinping, we have, you know [inaudible]. You know, they havent done anything to us except to marginalize us. Maria but you have said if this bill goes through, it is the end of hong kong. Explain. If this bill goes through, they can [inaudible]. Without the rule of law, our financial status will be undermined also. Without a rule of law, theres no mutual trust, the financial markets. Maria so the whole value system is undermined, whereas hong kong grew up with western values. Exactly. Thats why hong kong people are strong at this time to the threaten of their freedom because they grew up with western values, like you guys are. Maria tell me what the importance of you meeting with people like secretary pompeo, john bolton, Vice President pence. You met with them. Do you feel that you have support from the United States . Yes, thats what i felt. I was talking to them that as the leader of the free world, our market has a powerful america has a very powerful weapon which is its moral authority. You know, you have to use this, to show your moral authority by supporting us, even morally. This is very important. We hong kong people are fighting the same war as you are fighting with china in your cold war which is starting, and, you know, its almost like we are fighting your war in your enemy camp. You have the interest to support us because we 7 [inaudible] we are so different because we share the same values as you. Every time we fight and they crack us down, we are reminding the world that china is not to be trusted. Maria do you think the u. S. Should be trusting china that they will follow through, keep their promises in a trade deal that the president is right now talking to xi jinping about . I dont think you can trust them without verification. I mean, like reagan said you trust and verify. This is very important. Maria you say look this is a war of values. Tell me about that. You know, it is a cold war. Its a war of opposing values. Lets look at the world 20 years from now, do we want our children to live in the dominance of the chinese dictator values or do we want to continue the values we have enjoyed . Because definitely in 20 years, china is going to be the biggest economy in the world. If we dont stop them and try to let them to learn that authority to earn from moral force is much greater force than you earn from using the barrel of gun. Maria yeah. So it is now for us to really to use moral authority, moral force to deal with china, even in your trade deal with china, a lot of people said that, look, we dont want to rattle china while were negotiating, with china on the trade deal. No, you are so wrong because the moral authority america has is a great force, a great leverage against china in this in this nation because thats one thing that china doesnt have, it is the one thing they are most vulnerable to. Why cant you use it . If china sits down to negotiate, that means they need the deal. If they dont sit down to negotiate, nothing matters. Maria so you say, look, dont do a deal because you want Economic Prosperity with china, and you just throw away their human rights abuses and dont look at it. I spoke with secretary pompeo recently, and the secretary of state told me what they are doing in terms of rounding up certain groups and putting them in jail, basically. Listen to this. Theres also enormous its not economic in a pure sense, but humanitarian concerns as well. Weve seen as they continue to collect information and use it in ways they are anithetical of what you and i believe humans should be treated. It is broader and bigger than that, the complete absence of Political Freedom inside of this country is something that the American People need to continue to watch and see because it has an impact on our economic relations with them as well our economic relationship with them as well. Maria to explain, basically the chinese have rounded up muslims, tibetans, put them in reeducation camps and they are being guarded by machine guns. Thats right. They are not allowing these people to move freely. They are indoctrinating them with chinese thought, chinese thinking, in ways that the west just wouldnt do. Its different. Its historic, and it is important. Maria and jimmy lai, you have lived this, you say look it is the duty of america to stop china because you dont want china running the world with their communist values. Right, thats true. To the americans, please write your senators, your congressmen to Say Something to us. You know, like kennedy in 1963 said i am [inaudible]. That gave a lot of support and hope for those people to face up to the soviet threat. Now were in the same position. Please have your leaders Say Something encouraging, Say Something maria to support hong kong. To support hong kong, some empathy or sympathy words to support hong kong so we know that you have our backs. Maria because you think hong kong will never be the same . Yeah, especially, you know, talking to those young people, they are fighting for this resistance. Maria yeah. And also maybe send your senator and congressmen to hong kong and hold hong kong peoples hands. Maria thank you very much for your courage. Thank you. Maria good to have you on the program. Thank you. Maria next we are talking with the House Foreign Affairs ranking member, congressman mccall is here where his Committee Approved billions of dollars in arm sales to another area under threat from china. Thats taiwan. Fact is, every Insurance Company hopes you drive safely. But allstate actually helps you drive safely. With drivewise. It lets you know when you go too fast. And brake too hard. With feedback to help you drive safer. Giving you the power to actually lower your cost. Unfortunately, it cant do anything about that. Now that you know the truth. Are you in good hands . Maria welcome back. U. S. Law makers welcome the president of taiwan for her First Official state visit last week despite strong objections from the Chinese Government which claims the nation of taiwan as part of the peoples republic. The visit coming just day after the Defense Department approved 2 billion dollars in arm sales to taiwan. Joining me right now is congressman Michael Mccall one of the lawmakers to meet with the taiwanese president. Good to see you this morning. Thank you very much for joining me. Thanks, good to be here. Maria we were talking about china with jimmy lai, tell me what you spoke with the taiwanese president about. This is something that wont go over well with china. Not at all. I think our support with taiwan frustrates the chinese. They are getting very aggressive in hong kong as you just heard. They are also getting very aggressive in taiwan. I talked to the madame president , she thinks they are going to interfere in her elections to get a chinese puppet, if you will, elected, just like the case i dealt with in the late 90s that directed us to china era space, director of chinese intelligence, putting money into the Clinton Campaign because of the policies. This has been going on for a long time, maria. Its really hitting a hot spot right now. And we have to support taiwan. They stand for freedom and democracy in the region, and thats precisely why the chairman and i approved the military sales to taiwan of 2. 2 billion dollars so taiwan cant protect themselves from china. Maria lets talk about that. You mentioned first of all the taiwanese elections, january 11, 2020, shes expected the chinese to interfere in that election. As far as these this equipment that youre talking about, the military equipment 2 billion dollars, what does taiwan want this for, tell me about the conversation around that military equipment, your committee has to oversee all sales of military equipment to foreigners. Thats right. I and the chairman approve all Foreign Military and commercial sales. The administration notified us of their intent to sale 2. 2 billion javelin missiles, abram tanks, a lot of, you know, grenades, very selfdefense in posture, but it sends a very strong message to china as i said to the Convention Friday night, we say dont mess with texas. Dont mess with taiwan. Were going to arm taiwan so she can defend herself from whats become a very aggressive Chinese Communist party right on their doorstep. Maria some of those systems we should point out are made by lockheed martin. The president was with lockheed martin, the ceo, last week, i guess theres even further alliance between lockheed and the government given the fact they are going to keep some of their production in pennsylvania, which was a big deal to the president. Look, i have got to get into taiwan with you, congressman, lets take a short break and then i want to ask you why we are also selling to taiwan were also selling to turkey, but turkey is doing something thats raising some eyebrows. Were selling them military equipment, but they are also buying from russia. Quick break and we will talk about that. About that. Chuggachugga, charles my man hilda, i like the new do.

Only for a limited time. Maria im back with congressman Michael Mccall, and before i get into what i want to you ask you about turkey. Let me get your take on the authorization of military force bill. You made some comments on the floor this week basically pushing back on any ndaa amendments that would repeal that authorization. Where do you sit on this as we look at a new threat from iran and we look at provocations from china, etc. . I think it is a dangerous, reckless policy by the democrats to repeal the 2001 aumf with no replacement to it. Im all for arguing about updating the 2001 aumf after 9 11, but this would legalize im sorry, illegalize all global Counterterrorism Operations in the world that were connecting, and then they want to repeal 2002 with iraq. We know isis is still a threat in iraq. Finally they want to preemptively put forward an aumf for iran even though the president has not gone to war with iran. In fact every indication i have seen is he does not want to go to war with iran. Thats why he did not respond back militarily after they shot down a u. S. Military asset. Hes trying to use a diplomatic route here. These are all three very i think very misguided. Maria yeah, even as iran is pretty clearly telling us they want to enrich uranium further and break the terms of that iran deal. Quickly on turkey, now, i know that were selling Turkey Military equipment. Your committee overseeing that. They are also buying military equipment from russia. Very problematic, you have a nato ally buying Russian Military equipment. I sat down with the foreign minister of turkey and the ambassador and warned them just as secretary pompeo did that you cant have it both ways. You cant be a nato ally and buy Russian Military equipment. What endangers it even more so, we offered them the Patriot Missile battery system. They chose the russian instead. This actually blocks the f35 sales because the f400 actually tracks our f35s and would put our f35 planes in jeopardy if turkey goes forward, which it appears, maria, that they are doing. And then what makes it even more egregious is that this will now kick in the russian sanctions bill that we, Lindsay Graham and i passed, you know, last year. Now we have to look at are we going to sanction a nato ally for buying Russian Military equipment . I think erdogan is making a serious mistake. I would urge him and his administration to reject Russian Military sales and buy american. Maria yeah, by the way, we should point out that that f400 that they are buying from russia can actually shoot down the f35. Precisely. Their incongruent. You cant have both of them in the same country. We have a military base in turkey which even complicates it even that much more. Maria thats really frightening. Before you go, real quick, you heard Lindsay Graham earlier on the border bill. You tried this. You had the goodlatt and mccaul bill, you dealt with daca and loopholes. We fixed it. We had a merit based immigration system. We most importantly did away the loopholes, these asylum laws that we need to change because thats the magnet that the cartels know how to exploit to get in family units into the United States. Maria but the democrats wouldnt sign it. Every democrat voted against it. And we had a daca fix as well. Very unfortunate we didnt pass that. Maria great to have you on the program this morning, sir. Thank you very much for joining me. Thanks maria. Maria congressman michael Autism Spectrum Disorder he didnt have any friends as a result it broke my heart.

He said, i think youll do the right thing, and share it with the people. Can the heir fulfill that final request. I didnt have the money. Oh, thats an issue. But i had a plan. With one wacky angle .
