Transcripts For FBC Sunday Morning Futures With Maria Bartiromo 20240713

New foothold in the middle east and also Foreign Affairs Ranking Member Michael Mccaul will join me exclusively as we look ahead on sunday morning futures right now. And we begin this morning with that exclusive white house meeting last week between President Trump and House Speaker nancy pelosi, on thursday. The president tweeted out a photo from the cabinet room accusing pelosi of having a meltdown also reportedly refused to read a letter trump sent to turkeys president demanding an end to the violence in northern syria. Pelosi stormed out of the room with her colleagues while republicans continued their meeting with the president. Democrats say the president was disrespectful to the speaker while republicans say the incident is part of a pattern with pelosi. Joining me is one of the lawmakers who was in the Meeting House min leader Kevin Mccarthy. Its good to see you thanks for joining us. Thank you for having me back on. Maria i want to get to the impeachment inquiry but first can you tell us what went on in that meeting . You were there. What took place . Well, ive been in many of these meetings. This is a pattern of the speaker when she doesnt want to come to a solution, she really is un becoming of a speaker, throws a fit and then leaves the room. Thats not a sign of a leader. A leader stays in the room and solves the problem but let me explain exactly what happened at the very beginning. The president starts the conversation and this is a bipartisan meeting and hes landing a letter out that is a letter he sent to the president of turkey about not entering that area about protecting the k urds. As each elected official gathers that letter they start to read it, they pause and its something they have not seen before. The speaker of the house nancy pelosi turns it over, sitting directly across from the president , sets it right down on the table to make a point to him that shes not going to listen to him and whats really creep ing into all of this is impeachment. She couldnt put that aside for one moment to talk about the security of an issue that should be one person that were all speaking together with one voice but it was impeachment and if you watched her and senator schumer, they said the exact same thing over and over until they felt they were at the moment that on their own script they were supposed to get up and walk away and the dirty little secret here, maria is the other democrats stayed in the room and we had really a productive normal meeting. The only common denominator that disrupted this all was the speaker of the house. Maria what are you going to do as the leader of the gop in the minority if you cant get anything donald its all about impeachment . Now you sent a letter to nancy pelosi asking 10 questions. You said she only answered two of them. Tell me what you want to know and explain the impeachment process to us. Well first of all we had to thank and your viewers have to understand what does impeachment mean . Impeachment is the most serious thing that an elected official could almost do. It is removing an individual whose dulyelected so you should not take this lightly. You should not bring politics into it. And you should make sure that you have a fair process. In this letter, i said to the speaker of the house, laid out 10 questions. These arent 10 questions that i made up. This is the process used for president nixon, and president clinton. Do you have due process . Is the president s attorney able to be in the room . Crossexamine . Are they able to bring witness forward . Are both sides able to have a subpoena process . And do you know what happened . She only answered two of them. Weve never taken a vote about impeachment inquiry and the reason that is so important is every american lends their voice for two years, to their representative. Right now, one person is having all of the power, instead of the people across america, actually having a say in this process and now, they are bringing adam schiff, whose lied numerous times to the American Public in charge of this process and they are denying members of congress from even being in the room are hearing the transcripts reading them of whats being said, adam schiff controls who can come into the room so members on the committee on the Judiciary Committee and others arent even allowed in the room and members who have to vote on this come down to the committee and they cant even read the transcripts . How is this fair . Maria so she came back to you and answered two questions but she ignored the other questions . She said shes not going to bring it to the floor for a vote well shes not going to bring an impeachment inquiry. Something weve always done in the past and remember what were talking about. Youre changing the fabric of the america. Youre changing what democracy has said only because of your own political views . That is what is wrong. We want to trust democracy and from the very important standpoint here, we need due process in this. A republican speaker made sure this process happened with president clinton. A democrat speaker made sure this process happened with the republican president. So why cant she follow the same process with such a serious question thats before us . Its because shes letting politics play into it. Remember when she said were going to move into impeachment injury . If she waited 48 hours until she read the transcripts of that phone call, with President Trump and the president of ukraine, we would not even be in this mess. Maria yeah. We already put america through a twoyear nightmare and trying to do it again. Maria well the twoyear nightmare about collusion an President Trump which then we learned definitively that was not the case. Let me take you back to something you just said because you said after that meeting at the white house, that you went on to have a productive meeting. The republicans and the democrat s within that meeting at the white house, did you make a decision in terms of bringing the vote on sanctions on turkey given the fact that they did go into syria and the chaos is still worsening today. We had discussions and it was Democratic Senators and democrat congressional members and the key committee. We had a discussion that the president with the secretary of defense and the general of joint chiefs and it was a very open discussion, where people had differences of opinions, but they werent yelling, they werent getting up and walking away, and what we really learned in that meeting was the president was telling us his concern, but also, that you had the Vice President mike pence, the secretary of state mike pompeo, landing in turkey at that moment, trying to acquire a cease fire, which they were successful at. A cease fire that could save the kurds lives, give them time to actually move out, get a safe zone in there and if we were to move on sanctions at that moment in time without having that discussion, without having that knowledge, could have sent the wrong message and actually created a much difficult situation for us, so its important that we have these conversations with the republicans, democrats and the administration, and not get up and walk away to run out to the states and if you watch them speaking at that podium, all three of them talking at the same time, its almost as they choreographed it and always listening to the final words about impeachment and before the speaker of the house left the room, i listened to her and she almost threatened the president. She didnt use the word impeachment, but you knew what she was talking about, when she said something to the extent, you just wait to see what we do. I mean, that is an unbecoming of a speaker and more importantly, thats not a real leader. A leader could have disagreements and i have difference of opinion, but i stay in there to try to find a solution. Maria wait until you see what well do. We want to take a break. I want to get your take on whether or not you want to see adam schiff step down. I know there is a resolution which will be taken up this upcoming week.

We were just talking about turkey before we move on to adam schiff because i want to ask you about that resolution this upcoming week do you expect you will vote on sanctions against turkey this upcoming week . I do not believe were going to vote on it as i see the schedule Going Forward and what i think would be appropriate this moment in time, to have the Vice President and the secretary of state come and brief us on their meeting with the president and others and where we currently are, in this situation , and what is the strategy Going Forward. I think the Administrative Branch or executive branch should come in and brief us so were all on the same page and have all of the same information maria let me move on to adam schiff and of course your colleagues bringing this resolution to sensor adam schiff where are we on that and youre expecting that vote this upcoming week . That will come up on monday and why were doing this remember, Intel Committee is different than any other committee. They have exclusive information that other members of Congress Never get, about intel and others. To be the chairman of the committee, and remember what this individual has done to adam schiff. First he lied to the American Public, that he had proof beyond circumstantial evidence, and he went threw a two year nightmare. He then went on and he lied when he sat as chairman of the committee of what he wanted to be in that phone call, but was not. It was so powerful that the speaker of the house on National Television said what adam schiff said was correct which would put us into jeopardy and now we find out that he lied to the American Public, when it came to the whistleblower that his staff actually met with him. Hes become a fact witness and the democrats have now put him in charge so those are three times hes lied to the American Public, and especially when they give the exclusive classified information that we need to trust those individuals who on the Intel Committee, i think its only proper that the house itself sensor this individual and itll be these democrats would they not stand up for the troops knowing and seeing and listening to this man continuing to lie to the American Public . Maria can anything come of that though . You were in the minority. Lets say all of the republicans vote for that what does that mean in terms of actually removing adam schiff . It has nothing to do about being a republican or a democrat this has to be to the integrity and the truth of the individual themselves. This individual is given the responsibility to be the head of the Intel Committee that actually sees the classified information that members of Congress Never see and he lies to the American Public about it but more importantly, he lies to his own members that put us in jeopardy the very least we can do is sensor him. Thats not removing him from committee which id like to do and i called for back in march when he lied the first time but at the very least this goes to the honesty, the integrity of the house of the reporter evers. If they cannot stand and sense youre him when they knowingly look at him lying him three separate times to the American Public and the u. S. House of representatives, it says a lot about they are putting politics before people, and they only care about impeachment instead of standing for the troops. Maria its very tough to look at whats happening its washington today, do you expect anything to get done before 2020 the democrats have done nothing in this congress and maria you know this more than anybody in your business sense. Here we are that mexico and canada become our number one and number two trader. We have the United States, mexico and Canada Agreement sitting before us when mexico has ratified it canada has been sitting waiting and now they have an election today and we have a president negotiating with china. Our number three trader next month. We would only be stronger had we ratified this agreement with our top two traders sitting and negotiating with our number three trader. Maria unbelievable. The only person that has the power is the speaker of the house and Everybody Knows if she called it out, it would pass. But she cares more about tearing this president down instead of building this country up. Maria its really a shame. Real quick on Mark Zuckerberg. You met with him there seems to be a feeling on both sides of the aisle these Companies Social Media are more powerful than they ever have been before and you have been pushing this idea of the right to your knowledge of what theyre doing with our data. Tell me whats happening with facebook and if you see any regulation coming in terms of big tech . Well maria i have to thank you because youre one of the few that do call them out. Big tech has become so powerful and influential that 95 of all searches go through google and they have a certain amount of power so weve called them out when they tried to suppress conservative vote or conservative thoughts but something happened different last week. Mark zuckerberg the ceo of facebook went to georgetown and he actually stood up for Free Expression, and we know Free Expression is still the best Business Model in the world, and one thing thats happened. Look what china just tried to do to the nba commissioner. Tried to give a general manager fired for standing up for free speech in hong kong so at the same time, i call out big caltech every time i see them trying to takeaway conservative speech. I just saw somebody stand up for Free Expression, and we need to be fair. If Mark Zuckerberg is willing to make that stand we should stand with him, but we need to hold these companies accountable, because they influence, i remember what they did for the Republican Party in california. If you googled the Republican Party two weeks before the election, they said our ideology would not be there. Maria well talk to devon nunes about that. Hes suing twitter right now. Congressman good to see you this morning thanks so much. Thank you. Maria congressman Kevin Mccarthy there. Coming up chaos in syria, amid a shakey cease fire deal. My next guest vows to hold turkey and President Trump accountable for the consequences senator Lindsey Graham is next, right here on sunday morning futures back in a minute. Hour 36 in the stakeout.

And i dont wait when i return, thanks to drop go. At national, i can lose the wait. And keep it off. Looking good, patrick. I know. vo go national. Go like a pro. Maria welcome back the fighting is continuing in northeast syria this morning as we are learning that House Speaker nancy pelosi and a congressional delegation are in jordan this morning to discuss the crisis. Well here at home the white house faces a bipartisan backlash, over the decision to pull american troops from the region. I spoke exclusively with secretary of state mike pompeo this past week on mornings with maria on fox business. Just before he left for turkey, to discuss Americas National security interest and the danger of isis returning. I always go back to our First Principles whats the mission whats the objective . When we set about this now to lay down the president s National Security strategy a couple years back, our mission set was very clear, to do counterterrorism all around the world in an effective way to protect the American People. Our efforts in syria, in west africa, our efforts in the phillipine, all across the world have been aimed at that singular objective thats what were still focused on and so syria is a small part of this its a small part of our meats strategy more broadly and you and i have spoken a number of times about the Worlds Largest state sponsor of terror the Islamic Republic of iran. To focus singularly on whats taking place in a part of syria neglects the true risk to the American People, and how effective this adam Schiff Administration has been at preventing this risk from impacting security. Maria im not disagreeing in terms of the effectiveness so far but is it not in the u. S. National Security interest to keep a small number of troops there to actually help the kurds protect for example, the oil fields . I mean if youve got iran getting access to those oil fields you and the administration have had iran on its heels and now, with turkey invading youre opening up these oil fields to the iranians giving them revenue to continue to support isis. Not to mention the isis fighters being let out of these jails. Ive watched the world rally to pushback against the president and the invasion that took place. We should never mistake who the actor is that has caused this disruption there. It wasnt the United States. It wasnt the European Countries that were there in syria, alongside of us. It was the president whose responsible for this in stability. Were now working to make sure and your points well taken how their oil fields are a little bit further south that are very important and i know the president is thinking about with the recommendations for myself and the Vice President and how best to address that. Maria but isnt it also true that we had a small number we have a small number of troops in syria and for the most part we are acting as the backup to the kurds helping them with weaponry, we have not lost many people in the last five years and granted any life lost is too many but when you consider the fact that its really the syrian kurds that are doing the bulk of the fighting, the syrian kurds that are losing men and women not the u. S. Every American Life matters a lot, maria as you just said. I know we both value that. Maria how many people have we lost in five years . Yeah, its been more than any american would wish. Right . Maria, i understand your point. Your point is well taken, but we need to make sure that we get this right that we get it right. Im very confident President Trump will do that. Maria i guess my Biggest Issue here is the strength of iran and i feel like the administration had the i rain on their heals and ruining the economy through sanctions, through this Pressure Campaign and now, we give up and leave syria and in effect, wrong those people who have been supporters and have been our partners, the kurds, and open up this area to iran. Maria i can assure you of this. The Islamic Republic is feeling the full might, the full pressure of the United States of america, they were feeling it yesterday. They were feeling it a week ago and they will feel it months from now. Weve laid down the strategy, they ask what it is were hoping the regime will do and how they will change their behavior. Were still fully committed to that and im confident that ultimately we will prevail. Maria my next guest just spoke with President Trump last night about the objectives in syria, senator Lindsey Graham joins us he is the chairman of the senate Judiciary Committee and senator always a pleasure to see you. Your reaction to secretary of state mike pompeo. Well now its a blessing to have him on the team. Hes one of the anchor tenant, hes doing a great job, ambassador jefferies who says the syrian portfolio is the best in the business and weve got a really good team the Vice President did a terrific job so let me tell you where i think we are. Withhold judgment as to whats going to happen in syria until its all in. I am increasingly optimistic that we can have some historic solutions in syria that have alluded us for years, if we play our cards right. I dont blame trump for the invasion but here is what the president told me over the weekend. Here are our objectives to make sure we have a Demilitarized Zone between turkey and the kurd s and the kurds were the allies to defeat isis and they lost 10,000 soldiers weve ghost eight in four years god bless the eight, but it was the kurds who did most of the fighting, protect our nato allie turkey from elements of the kurds that they considered to be tariffs, a Demilitarized Zone, occupied by international forces, no americans, but we provide air pilots. The president appreciates what the kurds have done. He wants to make sure isis does not come back. I expect we will continue to partner with the kurds into eastern syria, to make sure isis does not reemerge, that is in our National Security interest and we owe it to the kurds. The big thing for me is the oil fields. President trump is thinking outside the box. I was so impressed with his thinking object the oil. Not only are we going to deny the oil fields falling into iran hands but i believe were on the verge of a joint venture between us and the Syrian Democratic forces who help destroy isis, and keep them destroyed, to modernize the oil fields and make sure they get the revenue, not the iranians, not assad and it can help pay for our small commitment in the future and protect israel is the number one objective and we can do all of that with a very small force. Increasingly optimistic this could turn out very well. Maria it could turn out very well this is completely different than what youve been saying all week. You have been a criticizer of the president s move to pull all of the troops out of syria. You said in fact on this program , just two weeks ago, if we abandon the kurds, isis is going to come back and that theres an attack on our allies, so youve changed your mind based on what youve heard from the president last night . Yeah, i still believe that if we abandon the kurds nobody helps you in the future. Theyve lost 10,000 fighters to destroy the caliphate, there are 20,000 isis fighters running around in syria and iraq, small contingent of americans providing air power and will keep the isis at bay and the fighter wont break out. What i heard from the president was a very play the ball as you like is a kind of after the invasion things have got in scrambled in syria but i see a way forward now that really quite frankly is historic. Historic security for turkey, historic security for the kurds, a plan to keep isis down and out forever and a chance to keep the oil fields in the hands of our allies not our enemies would be a hell of an outcome, and i think thats now possible. Maria let me ask you senator, the president says that he wants the troops home. He doesnt want wars and the American People much of them agree with him. Why are we sending troops to saudi arabia then . Well because saudi arabia is an allie and iran is an enemy and iran is the biggest state sponsor of terrorism on the planet trying to build a Nuclear Weapon they are liars and murdered their own people and dismembered lebanon and yemen and on and on and on and got american blood on their hand and they attacked the Largest Oil Field in the world in saudi arabia and its in our interest to make sure that oil field is protected and the worlds economy doesnt plunge because of misadventures of iran. Thats why what President Trump is proposing in syria, a joint venture dealing with a southern oil field in syria between our allies, the kurds and the airfield who helps us destroy isis is a historic change that could pay dividends for the region and quite frankly, we could generate revenue to pay for our commitment in syria, something we havent been able to do. So bottom line here is youve got to play where it lies and if President Trump fulfills the objectives he laid out to me, then i think we can end syria successfully and god bless all those that fought to destroy isis. Maria thats breaking news this morning, senator that you actually see a way forward after youve spoken with the president on his plan to secure those oil fields. Thank you for that. I want to switch gears real quick before you go because weve got news this week that the state department concluded its investigation into former secretary of state Hillary Clintons private email usage, they determined nearly 40 people committed violations, are you going to be bringing anybody down to question testimonies to find out what went on here . People would like accountability and it seems like we never get any with the clinton machine. Ditto for the ig report thats pending and whether or not youll do a deep dive into the origins of the russia probe. Well theres two questions there and two good ones. In terms of the email report that would have to go to the Foreign Relations committee with jurisdiction over the state department and i would imagine that the chairman would have a hearing about that, how did they abuse the rules and i promise you i keep saying this as soon as horowitz is done with his review of the fisa warrant application, the Counter Intelligence investigation of the trump campaign, youll have, well have a hearing in public with horowitz and well call a bunch of witnesses and as to the corruption in the ukraine i want your listeners to understand that i think ukraine was involved in the 2016 election. I think they were trying to hurt trump. They may have been working with the democrats and i want somebody to look at ukraine involvement in our 2016 election , like mueller looked at the russian involvement. That has yet to be donald it needs to be done. Maria you want a special counsel . Ive been calling one for a year but if durham is doing it im okay but im going to write a letter to barr. I want him to tell me that yes, were looking at the allegations regarding ukraine interference in our 2016 election. Manafort whose the President Campaign manager for a relatively short period of time worked in the ukraine and i think people are out to get him but the political article is very disturbing where dnc members went to the ukraine embassy. Maria right. So the bottom line i hope we look at ukraine yankees corruption and id like to call it the prosecutor into the United States and have him testify the one that biden had fired. Isnt it kind of odd that the only person that biden wanted fired was the one investigating his son . Maria senator, hold on senator stay with us. Back in a minute. Orlando isnt just the theme park capital of the world, it also has the highest growth in manufacturing jobs in the us. Its a competition for the talent. Employees need more than just a paycheck. You definitely want to take advantage of all the benefits you can get. 2 3 of employees said that the workplace is an important source for personal savings and protection solutions. The workplace should be a source of financial security. Keeping your people happy is what keeps your people. Thats Financial Wellness. Put your employees on a path to Financial Wellness with prudential. And i recently had hi, ia heart attack. It changed my life. But im a survivor. After my heart attack, my doctor prescribed brilinta. Its for people who have been hospitalized for a heart attack. Brilinta is taken with a lowdose aspirin. No more than 100 milligrams as it affects how well brilinta works. Brilinta helps keep platelets from sticking together and forming a clot. In a clinical study, brilinta worked better than plavix. Brilinta reduced the chance of having another heart attack. Or dying from one. Dont stop taking brilinta without talking to your doctor, since stopping it too soon increases your risk of clots in your stent, heart attack, stroke, and even death. Brilinta may cause bruising or bleeding more easily, or serious, sometimes fatal bleeding. Dont take brilinta if you have bleeding, like stomach ulcers, a history of bleeding in the brain, or severe liver problems. Slow heart rhythm has been reported. Tell your doctor about bleeding new or unexpected shortness of breath any planned surgery, and all medicines you take. If you recently had a heart attack, ask your doctor if brilinta is right for you. My heart is worth brilinta. If you cant afford your medication, astrazeneca may be able to help. Maria and i am back with senator Lindsey Graham and moments ago you said you want to question the former prosecutor of the ukraine just to be clear this is the prosecutor that joe biden got fired. Right. I want to know what happened. I want somebody to look at interference by ukraine into 2016 election like mueller looked at russia. Im hoping thats being donald if its not being done it should be done, id like to do it outside of politics, and i find it odd that the only person that biden wanted fired was the prosecutor, maybe is corrupt, but clearly he was looking at the boards that hunter biden was serving on, you know, if it had been a republican that pulled this it would be all over the news so im not going to give up on the idea that both sides need to be looked at. Trump is looked at now its the democrats turn. Maria as we peel the onion back on the origins of the russia probe we are learning more and more and we will continue to focus on this senator good to see you thanks so much. Thank you. Maria senator Lindsey Graham democrats are setting up more closed door interviews in their impeachment inquiry amid growing criticism from republicans who argue the process is largely being done in secret. Joining me right now a Top Republican inside the room for those closed door interviews House Intelligence Committee Ranking Member, devon nunes. Congressman always a pleasure to see you. Thank you, maria. Maria can you give us a sense of whats going on in those rooms . You were present for both the last two very important testimonyies. Yes, maria and its all being done in secret. Remember these guys dont have any classified information. If they really want to do an impeachment they should be having this out in the public. And remember, both ambassador volcher and ambassador sonland, these are supposedly the guys in the middle doing all of the mischief with Rudy Guiliani. Well the fact is that they blew a hole completely through that conspiracy theory. And watching these Ivy League Lawyers on the democratic side where asking these questions is like watching the crazy train trying to get to the impeachment fantasy land. These guys are on a phishing expedition and after about 2030 minutes when they dont get the answers they want, they start to lead the witness to get the answers they want so that when they release the transcripts and do their phony report, when they try to get this vote for impeachment, they are just creating this false narrative made for television really, and made for sound bites. Its just all about narrative building, and they just dont have a case, and this should be, this is an embarrassment to the United States of america, and look, at the end of the day we have real work to do here. We have a trade agreement with the United States and canada, our two largest trading partners that means something to real people out there in america, and these guys just wont do it because they cant get impeachment off their brain. Maria congressman let me ask you youve done so much work in terms of the origins of the russia probe. Is this impeachment inquiry and ukraine tied to the origins of the russia probe . I understand you asked a question about that within the meeting i know you cant say anything, because its done behind closed doors. Well they leaked it thats a good point right . They leaked that to one of their favorite reporters so when they want something out they leak a fake narrative out but they tell us you cant leak any of this and this is part of the problem of its really, you know, well do whatever we want but at the same time were going to leak to our favorite reporters the things we want to leak. Maria you asked the ambassador sonland a question about the origins of the russia probe and ukraines involvement . Yeah so this is the problem. If you really look at it what was Rudy Guiliani doing in ukraine . Its very clear why Rudy Guiliani was in ukraine. His client, the president of the United States was dirtied up by the ukrainians so people forget. Ukraine is all over the steele dossier. We know that nellie ohr testified she was getting information from ukrainians. So, why on earth is there a problem for the president s lawyer to go to ukraine to get information to figure out where did this dirt come from . Where did it originate from . So for the president to be upset with ukraine, upset about the corruption, because he knows dont forget, the ukraine yankees ambassador here in the United States in august of 2016 wrote a nasty hit piece on President Trump. Well then candidate trump before the election. Theres plenty of reasons why the president would be over in ukraine having his lawyers in ukraine to try to get to the bottom of the russia probe, and look, these on the democratic side and i call them not its not, im not trying to do name calling here, but its like theyre living a dream world. They dont know the dirt they paid for, they paid fusion gps to send a british spy to ukraine to dig up this dirt. Now they pretend like that just doesnt exist . Sorry were going to hold them accountable and ask the questions every time the democrats ties to ukraine and i was glad to hear we have senator graham saying what do the ukrainians know who are the democrats dealing with ukrainians because it appears like more and more evidence that there were a lot of operatives for the Democratic Party not just fusion gps they were coordinating with ukrainians to dirty up this president. Maria weve talked about is joseph misfid. We have this timeline, which is the George Papadopoulos entrapment timeline that well show here and in april of 2016 he told then Campaign Staffer George Papadopoulos that russia had Hillary Clintons email and now we understand that william barr have obtained blackberries tied to the launch of the russia probe and these phones were the property of joseph misfid. What are we going to find on these phones and why is it important that we look at joseph misfid . Well joseph misfid should have been the guy that we should have got to the bottom of with muellers 35 million probe, we should have known exactly what joseph misfid was up to because hes the one that supposedly first knew about the emails. So why would you not spend the first part of your investigation to definitely get to the bottom of joseph misfid . Now what do we know about joseph misfid . We know that he worked with fbi agents, we know he trained fbi agents at the link campus in rome. We know that he was around many nato members running dialogues, so this is a guy who if he was a russian asset, so you have james comey said he was a russian asset, mueller stopped short, just saying he had a russian connection. Somewhere we got to know the truth because either joseph misfid is not a russian asset and was working for someone else we need to know who that was or if he was a russian asset my god the state department has been corrupted our own fbi has been corrupted, joseph misfid was the in United States congress in early 2017 as we were beginning our investigation, so something doesnt add up. Maria because once we know for sure that misfid working with western intel we know it was all epidemic trapment.

Maria im back with House Intelligence Committee Ranking Member devon nunes and congressman you with suing twitter, you got a legal victory two weeks ago by a judge. Tell us where that stands. Well look im very concerned , because of all of the content thats being created out there thats anticonservative 90 roughly of the media thats out there is against conservatives and republicans. But whats more concerning than that is what i call the tech oligarchs and they have these devices where whether its twitter or google or facebook that really controls what americans are seeing, especially younger people, so thats really , i think, critical for the next elections, that those temperatures cant be bias and whats amazing about twitter, you know, here for six months, ive been, weve been in court, theyve had plenty of chances to come clean. But yet, they have hundreds of anonymous accounts that attack me on a daily basis, sometimes hourly basis with defamation, slander, et cetera, and you just have to wonder like what on earth are the Board Members and the ceo of twitter thinking here so now, a judge has now ordered them to participate in the discovery process, we need to know the identities of the people who are committing these crimes, and in some cases, Death Threats yet twitter and their Board Members are so neglect that theyre not willing to give up those names so we can have our day in court . Theyre basically telling a Virginia Judge to go pound sand theyre not going to participate so were going to compel them and be back in court in a few weeks and at some point, twitter is a major company, with billionaires that own it but theyve got mom and pop investors and all of the stuff you talk on your business show, maria. They have a responsibility. I think they are getting close to securities fraud here by not telling the people that are the owners of the company and the American People that how many of these accounts out there are actually just bought accounts and why are you shutting down accounts for democrats that attack democrats, but you let hundreds against republicans just be out there, slandering . Maria wow.

Maria welcome back as Congress Prepares harsh sanctions on turkey for its attacks on the kurds nancy pelosi leads the delegation to jordan, for talks joining me right now is congressman Michael Mccaul he is the Ranking Member of the house Foreign Affairs committee. Congressman its a pleasure to have you thanks so much for joining me today. Good morning maria. Maria first your reaction to what has taken place in syria, and are you expecting to bring those sanctions on turkey . Well were very concerned about turkeys aggressive behavior invading syria. I did have a meeting in the white house, one that became very publicized where the speaker walked out of that meeting and after she left we had a very i thought civilized conversation with democrats as well about moving forward. Ive got assurances from the chair of the joint chief of staff of the president and the secretary of defense on residual force, my biggest concern, maria , is when obama pulled out 10,000 troops out of iraq, he created the space for isis, and then the formation of the socalled caliphate. We do not want to see that same phenomenon happen in syria, so we pressed a very hard on the fact that we need a residual force in syria, to first and foremost protect the homeland, so right now were in a fiveday cease fire after which it will become permanent and i talked to the Vice President about this cease fire. We want to give this a chance to work, and im hopeful that it will, but if it doesnt, we are prepared as early as next week to move forward at the Committee Level on very tough sanctions against syria, if they continue to misbehave in the region. Maria is it true, congressman, that some of the isis fighters have been able to get released, they are out of jail, because the turks ran over basically the kurds who were protecting those jails . Its another high priority of the administration, to protect those prisons that hold, maria, 10,000 of the worst of the worst jihadist left in that region. My briefings i think about 100 of them have escaped from these prisons so we want to make sure at all costs these prisons are protected, ive been given the assurance they are right now but its a very fluid situation there. Maria before you go, i want to ask you about the state department conclusion that the investigation into former secretary of state Hillary Clintons private email usage determined nearly 40 people committed violations. The email investigation found hundreds of violations, dozens of individuals at fault. Your committee has jurisdiction over the state department . Correct and we got a copy of this report late friday night. Were looking through it, we will be asking a lot of questions, i will request a hearing on this and i think above all, maria, the most concerned about even back in 2016 when this got exposed were these highly secretive special access programs. These are the covert programs with the most really highly classified programs in the United States government. The fact that she took those programs overseas on Electronic Devices and potentially compromised that, that will be the biggest focus i have on this issue. Maria it just feels like theres never any accountability look at that meeting that you had in the white house last week where nancy pelosi stormed out. Theres no focus whatsoever by your colleagues on the left of the true wrongdoing. When you look at the russia investigation, same thing. Well i agree and going back to the impeachment hearings i call it a star chamber. If you look at the definition of what was back in the day, its a very powerful exclusive body that meets in secret without any openness to the public, no transparency. This is i talked to ken starr last night about this process that we need to follow the historic precedent of both nixon and clinton proceedings here. This is not the right way to do it. If you do this for god sake do it the right way. Maria congressman Michael Mccaul thank you so much, sir. Thank you. Maria that will do it for sunday morning futures ill see you tomorrow morning at 6 00 to 9 00 a. M.
