Complaint. Florida senator rick scott joins me to discuss the Senate Impeachment trial to begin this week as articles being sent. A lot more right now as we look ahead on sunday morning futures. Maria begin in the middle east this morning. The Trump Administration is ratcheting up sanctions against iran after tehran targets american troops with missiles. Protesters are now rising up in the streets of iran, against the ayatollah, after iran admits mistakenly downing the ukrainian airliner. Meanwhile in asia voters in taiwan reelect the incumbent president supporting her tough stance against mainland china. We look ahead to this weeks signing ceremony for the phase one of the u. S. China trade deal. All of this coming amid a record stock market performance. More signs of job growth in america. Joining me exclusively this morning is treasury secretary Steve Mnuchin. Mr. Secretary, good to see you this morning. Thanks very much for being here. Thank you, maria. Great to be with you. Maria incredible pictures across the world of protesters, people taking to the streets, wanting freedom, wanting democracy. Lets start in iran where we did see the protesters this weekend. The u. S. Targeted irans billion dollar Metals Industry and senior regime officials. Tell us about the latest round of sanctions against iran . Maria, let me start first expressing our condolences in the families involved in the crash. It is a terrible, tragic situation. The additional sanctions that we put on this week, the additional executive order that the president authorized gave us additional capabilities to target both primary and secondary sanctions in different sectors. Including the Metals Industry, construction, travel amongst others. The economy there already weakened quite a bit. You talked about this with secretary pompeo friday. Here is secretary pompeo with me last week on this program talking about the state of the iranian economy today. Watch. We crippled their economy. They have never been in this position, maria, iran has never been in a place where they have been challenged not only economically but diplomatically, but a Global Coalition in may of last year put out a united statement bense iran. Were executing this strategy with great vigor and it will protect and defend the American People. Maria is there anything left or anyone left to sanction . How much farther can you go, and what do you need to see from the Iranian Regime to take these sanctions away . With the new executive order we have very, very strong authorities across all Industries Including in this executive authority, it gave both myself and secretary pompeo the authority to target additional sectors as needed. And maria, this is all really about cutting off money, oil sales, other revenue that would be funding their terrorist activities and their Nuclear Weapons development. So we continue to allow for humanitarian transactions with iran. Im pleased to say that ofac expedited all the waivers as i said they would relates to the Airline Crash investigation. We dont want to target people of iran. We want to cut off revenue that are going for bad acts. Yet, there is a Real Partnership developing and deepening between iran and china. Actually i should say, iran, china and russia. Stay with iran and china for a moment. As you know, the expectations are that 50 to 70 of irans oil exports are flowing to china. Why does china allowed to go around these sanctions and do business with iran 70 of their oil and gas going to china . Well, maria, let me say, weve got cut off 95 of the oil revenues. So there is a very small amount of oil revenues. Youre right, a component of that big component of that is china. I sat down with chinese officials. They flew in the delegation to meet with us in the state department to talk about this. They cut off all of the state companies from buying oil. Were working closely with them to make sure they cease all Additional Oil actives. Maria so you are pursuing trying to get china to cease all activities because, theyre obviously giving iran the money and iran is using the money to support terrorism. If 70 of their oil and gas is going to china . It is 70 , maria, but let me say, 70 of a very, very small number. Maria okay. China is subject to sanctions like everybody else. We actually sanctioned some of their shipping companies that were involved in the oil and we will continue to pursue sanctions activities against china and anybody else around the world that continues to do business with them. Maria so what about france . You know france is doing business iran as well. What about nato countries including france that seem to be continuing their relationship with iran even as the u. S. Pleads with them not to, promising sanctions . Are we going to see secondary sanctions. Europeans are adhering to our primary sanctions. As we roll out additional sectors they will be cutting back activities in those sectors, but europeans are complying with our primary sanctions because they would be subject to secondary sanctions and they understand that. And even in the case of instcs we warned them they may be depending how they set it up, they would most likely be subject to secondary sanctions as well. Let me emphasize, humanitarian transactions are available. Were setting up a swiss channel to handle that. This is not about attack people of iran, but as the president said making sure iran stops their terrorist activities and making sure they never have Nuclear Weapons. Maria let me move on to china, you are planning a big event this wednesday, the signing ceremony for the phase one deal between us and china. Is this same deal you told us about at the end of last year . It is. And let me say ambassador lighthizer has led a very, very large team across all the different agencies. Almost every single one of our agencies were involved in this. This is historic transaction. This is not everything. As we said there will be a phase two. This is the first time we had a comprehensive agreement with china on technology issues, agricultural issues, financial services, purchases. It has a real enforcement mechanism. So this is a big win for the president. Maria last time we spoke about this, looking at this deal at the end of last year, we were expecting that there would be a snapback provision in there where if china does not keep its promises, if they lie as they have for so many times to so many different parties that the u. S. Would be able to snap back tariffs and in place, is that still in it. Or has that been changed through translation . No. That is still in it, maria. There is a real enforcement provision. If they dont comply with the agreement, the president retains the authority to put on tariffs, both existing tariffs and additional tariffs. Maria what about the agricultural buying because that is another question . There are concerns this morning as you know, secretary, the language has been changed in translation. Why wasnt the English Version released to the public so we can understand specifically what is in the deal were 48 hours from signing . People want to see the English Version. Was it changed in translation . Maria it was not changed in translation. I dont know where that rumor started. Weve been going through a translation process i think we said was really a technical issue. The language will be released this week. So i think it is, the day of the signing, well be releasing the English Version. People can see. Its a very, very extensive agreement. Maria so you expect the chinese to buy 40 to 50 billion of Agricultural Products from the United States then . I do. Let me just say. It is 200 billion of additional products across the board over the next two years. Specifically, in agriculture 40 to 50 billion. So this is a big opportunity for our farmers. Some people question whether they produce it. President said they will buy more land, produce plenty of agriculture. Maria on intellectual property issues youve been talking a lot about protecting ip for American Companies and innovators. Is it true the chinese recently adopted militia cybersecurity rules that negate any opportunity for the u. S. To protect its intellectual property. No, maria, that is not true. There are very important intellectual property rules in here that we expect them to adhere to. There are Cyber Concerns that we do have. So let me just be clear. Cyber will be part of phase two. But we have Incorporated Provisions in phase one that we think are important protections for u. S. Companies. So we have made very clear, there can be no forced Technology Transfer and that china is putting outlaws to protect both u. S. Technology and other technology. Maria so all of your plans are coming together . Youve got the signing ceremony on wednesday. Youve got usmca likely going to pass the senate. When would you expect that . I know it is going through the Senate Committees now. We expect it to pass quickly. We hope that this little sideshow that is going to show up at the senate doesnt delay it but we look forward to the Senate Acting quickly. And let me just say the president s Economic Program is really coming together. As we talked about maria, from day one, tax cuts, regulatory relief and it is trade. The president delivered on all three. You saw the stock market break 29,000 for the first time last week. Maria that was pretty incredible actually. Looking at the backdrop of the market that is driving the story. More jobs, with jobs numbers coming out although it is slowing down from a numbers we saw a year ago. What would be your expectation of Economic Growth in jobs in 2020 . Maria, i wouldnt focus on any one week. We created more jobs under President Trump than ever created before. That is something we continue to focus on. We look forward to a healthy economy in 2020. Now let me just say there is no question that the boeing, the boeing situation is going to slow down the gdp numbers. Boeing is one of the largest exporters. With the 737 max, i think that could impact gdp as much as 50 basis points this year. We, we look forward to very healthy growth in 2020. Maria and, the trade story is one leg of the three legs in terms of deregulation, tax legislation and the trade changes that you are making and the administration has led here. Would you expect things to pick up in 2021 then . What is your expectation of Economic Growth . I think for this year, weve been looking at 2 1 2, 3 as i said. May be closer to 2 1 2 because of the adjustment of the boeing numbers. This would have been 3 otherwise. I think there is no question that usmca, and the china deal are going to add significantly to growth. Maria secretary you have a big week with the China Signing and these incredible Growth Numbers with the stock market reacting. Great to talk with you this morning. Thanks so much. Thank you, maria. Maria secretary Steve Mnuchin joining me. House leader Kevin Mccarthy joins me next. Follow us on sunday futures and instagram sunday futures. Tell us what you like to hear from this incredible line up this is the age of expression. Everyone has something to say. But in a world full of talking, shouldnt somebody be listening . So. Lets talk. We are edward jones. With one Financial Advisor per office, were built for hearing whats important to you. One to one. Edward jones. Its time for investing to feel individual. Maria welcome back. Congress grappling with the fall out of killing of iranian general qassem soleimani. The house passed a resolution that reaffirmed the 1973 war powers act. That seeks to limit the president from taking further military action. Many republicans say this could actually weaken americas position in the middle east. Joining me House Minority leader Kevin Mccarthy. Always a pleasure. Thanks so much for being with me. Thank you. Maria lets go through the war powers act. The house obviously on friday voted, can you tell us a little bit this and where this is going . Well this resolution we passed is going nowhere because its way they passed it. Did a concurrent resolution. You have to understand this, maria, a concurrent resolution is only used for soapbox derby or giving a medal we did to jack nicklaus. This is nonbinding. This will not go to the president t will not change the war powers act. What the democrats have done, think about what the President Trump has done, it is his natural instinct to always put America First and keep us safe. The democrats instinct is to blame America First. Instead of having a resolution on the florida condemning iran for shooting down a civilian aircraft. We have resolution on the floor this week, standing with those individuals who seek freedom in iran . I dont believe we will because these democrats will do anything to defame the president over defending this nation. Maria eight democrats oppose this resolution. Six in the swing districts. Won by donald trump. Talk about that. I know you talked before in the past about those swing districts really watching and pressuring nancy pelosi to not go forward with the impeachment. We know the articles are going to the senate this upcoming week. Well, last year it would take 19 new seats to win the majority. This year only takes 18 because a democrat, Jeff Van Drew switched party over impeachment in the way nancy pelosi has been treating. He is republican now. Where his positions are. There are 30 democrats who sit in seats that President Trump carried. We only need 18 to win the majority. Theyre seeing tide continuing to shift as nancy pelosi, speaker of the house, continues to stand with the socialist wing of the Democratic Party, instead of standing where america wants to see us. Maria so what happens this week . You have got vote on the house managers for peach petrial. This impeachment trial, which i assume will begin this upcoming week could go for several weeks. Tell us how you see it playing out . Well, we first have to name the managers and vote on it. Remember where the democrats said this was so urgent they had to move this before end of the year. Now nancy pelosi has been holding the papers . Sometimes well vote after their caucus would be wednesday or thursday. I find it very difficult for the senate to even start impeachment this week and what happens with impeachment is, the senators have to be in their desks. They cannot have a phone. They cannot talk to one another. They stay in their desks. With the clinton impeachment it lasted five weeks this is the dirty little secret is talking about, why the secret held these papers. Remember what happened in the last nomination process where the dnc chairman, Debbie Wasserman schultz had to resign the night before the Nomination Convention started because they had found out they had cheated senator Bernie Sanders from the opportunity to become the nominee. They are doing the exact same thing right now. Iowa caucus is on february 3rd. Bernie sanders is in first place. What this does is, this benefits joe biden. This harms senator sanders who is in first place and could become their nominee, because he will be stuck in the chair, because nancy pelosi held the papers different than what she said to the American Public why she had to move so urgently. Maria you think it is by design that nancy pelosi is sending the articles now, slow walking, really slowwalking the impeach trial to have the senators in the room . That is collusion . That is obstruction, keeping Bernie Sanders at bay, clearing the decks for joe biden, is that what youre saying . That is exactly what im saying. Remember what the Democratic Party did this time. They removed superdelegates from the first round of voting because what they had done to senator powers. Now they dont have the power had he got to the convention farely. What power does the speaker have. Remember when she first started impeachment i sent her a letter about process. Could we have a fair process, laying out 10 questions, exact same process for bill clinton, richard nixon. She ignored that. Didnt care about process. She now hypocrisy in the senate where she has no power . She told the American Public it was urgent. She had to move so fast. The only reason she is doing this, no one is talking about, it is harming the Bernie Sanders, senator who is coming into first place who could win iowa and propel them self the nominee. Exact same thing they did to him four years ago. Maria that is unbelievable, actually. That is breaking news, congressman. Thanks for joining us this morning. Well see you soon. Kevin mccarthy. Up next my interview with owls outspoken former white house strategist steve bannon. Why he says the president should delay the state of the union stay restless with the icon that does the same.

In Iran Protests in the street after the countrys leaders admit mistakenly shooting down a ukrainian jetliner killing all 176 people on board. In taiwan, voters are celebrating this weekend. The islands prodemocracy leader winning reelection. People in the street wanting freedom and democracy. In hong kong protesters hold up the American Flag as they fight for freedom. Joining me what it all means for america, former white house chief strategist, host of hit podcast, wildly successful, war room. Steve bannon is here. Tell us what is taking place across the world. This is trump doctrine, whether ballot box in taiwan or streets of tehran. This is freedom and democracy. President trump stood up to the chinese Economist Party, dictators in beijing and mullahs in iran. Whether the ballot box, protests, they had a sweeping victory there couple weeks ago, a landslide victory for the freedom and Democracy Party in taiwan with a record turnout. That is what the Chinese Communist party trying to put their thumb on the scale. In tehran, exact same thing. In tehran, taipei, seeing American Flag. Theyre waving independence movements, freedom movements, posters as President Trump as superman or superhero. This is the trump policy. It is ironic, this week well have the signing of the chinese trade deal at the same time that theyre moving, they will vote to send the impeachment articles over to the house because these are inextricably linked. What President Trump did is go against the established order. The established order, the permanent political cast Foreign Policy to appease dictators, appease beijing. You saw rise of china. To appease the mullahs in iran. You saw this expansion, this expansion of iran with hezbollah threat to the middle east. Donald trump says this will not happen on my watch. Well stop here and now. He is taking very churchillian stand like churchhill did in the 1930s. Permanent political class, john kerries, hillary clintons, Foreign Policy establishment, neville chamberlains, they were the appeasers. They stopped appeasement. He went to economic war. In the trade deals he did economic war against terrorists in china. Put economic sanctions on tehran. Economic war is winning. People in the street support donald trump. Maria democrats dont see it that way, steve. She is sending the articles of impeachment over to the senate. Well have a senate trial yet i cant figure out if the president wants witnesses or doesnt want witnesses. What is this going to look like . Why is it that this freedom, democracy, Economic Growth story is not resonating on his critics . Theyre not. This is why they oppose him. The established order, first off they mate him personally. They oppose his America First policies because America First policies are resonating. Freedom and capitalism resonating around the world. That is what they oppose. This is why he continued to put this forward. Remember when they put the articles of impeachment up, what they want to do is big foot everything he is doing. They want to have, the problem Mitch Mcconnell has, they see this kind of trial as being on cspan, right, with some very tight legal arguments. I think President Trump and reason Laura Ingraham the other night he called for expanded, caught for expanded witness list he understands the jury is not the senate. The jury is the American People but the audience is the world. Theyre watching on the streets of taipei. Theyre watching in hong kong. Theyre watching in tehran. Theyre watching to see if the established order can back down donald trump. Donald trump has the ability to win here. That is why ive been calling the it trial of century. He calls it the crime of the century. It is the crime of the century. It should be treated like that. On Laura Ingraham he walked through witnesses he wants. I think those witnesses have to be called. Maria the crime of the century meaning this is a coup. Kevin mccarthy on several times called it the worst coup weve ever seen in the history of the country. That is why the president called the witnesses. President on Laura Ingraham the other night in the great interview. Watch. Like a trial. I wouldjoe biden. I would love to have his son. I call him wheres hunter. I called changed his first name to where. Wheres hunter. I love the whistleblower who wrote a fake report. Maria will we get there, get all these people to testify that century . If theyre making a big deal on the democratic side and moderate senators want bolton, email, omb, bring them. Donald trump did nothing wrong. Just like his support of the freedom movements throughout the world. Yesterday he tweets out in farsi to support the people on streets of tehran. Establish ordered were appeasers. They appealed the Chinese Communist party and mullahs. He said crime of the century we should have the whistleblower up and biden up and horowitz that wrote the i. G. Report. If you have to trade off with john bolton, mick mulvaney, who cares. What will they say . We started our podcast, unity and substance. I did nothing wrong. This call is perfect. Facts bear him out, one of two reasons nancy pelosi slow walked this. One was to find more evidence because they didnt have it. They were afraid guns would be turned on them for a weak case. Second to make sure she could big foot President Trumps state of the union message. That is why she slowwalked the entire thing. President trump understands the jury is the American People. The audience is the world. World has to watch this. That is why he is taking a to de state of the union, i asked about that, call on him to make the announcement tomorrow morning. Take a short break. Take a short break. A lot more with 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. Do you recall, not long ago we would walk on the sidewalk all around the wind blows we would only hold on to let go blow a kiss into the sun we need someone to lean on blow a kiss into the sun we needed somebody to lean on all we need is someone to lean on sini wasnt sure. Clot was another around the corner . Or could things go a different way . I wanted to help protect myself. My doctor recommended eliquis. Eliquis is proven to treat and help prevent another dvt or pe blood clot. Almost 98 percent of patients on eliquis didnt experience another, and eliquis has significantly less major bleeding than the standard treatment. Eliquis is fdaapproved and has both. Dont stop eliquis unless your doctor tells you to. Eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. Dont take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. If you had a spinal injection while on eliquis call your doctor right away if you have tingling, numbness, or muscle weakness. While taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for bleeding to stop. Seek immediate medical care for sudden signs of bleeding, like unusual bruising. Eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. Tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. Whats around the corner could be worth waiting for. Ask your doctor about eliquis. Maria steve bannon, former white house chief strategist and host of the war room podcast. I mentioned comment by Kevin Mccarthy said we just witnessed attempted to coup to take down President Trump. It was the worst coup since lincoln what he said on this program. That is one of the reasons why you believe they will not stop attacking the president. You want the president to fight back. This is nullification project to nullify his presidency. You see why. They were wrong. They were the appeasers. He is the churchhill figure. He has stood tall. That is why this is the trial of the century. It is about the crime of the century. It has to be big. This is not cspan3. This is going to be on global television. Why i believe he has to have some house people like lee zeldin and mark meadows, jim jordan and gates. Maria that will not happen. I think he has opportunity to do that. They need to be, these fire breathers need to be there we cant worry about the decorum of the senate this is about the direction of the United States of america. It is about peace and prosperity of the world. Donald trumps policy is working. Why she slowwalked this. She invited him to the state of the union and purposely slowwalked this, wants in middle of trial, i want to see New York Times headline, under cloud of uncertainty trump addresses nation. He has to be acquitted. He should be exonerated. You do the state of the union because the whole world will watch this. Maria youre calling on President Trump to do what . Tell nancy pelosi what . Tell nancy pelosi when you deliver it and we have a trial and after im acquitted i will come to have the state of the union, not until then. President trump has a great saying no games. This is all gameplaying by the democrats. It has to be brought to an end, okay . They forced her this week to deliver them. I think this trial, he ought to go big. He ought to demand witnesses. There is no witness on the other side bolton and mulvaney. There is nothing they say will be big deal. Maria they want to hear john bolton. John bolton, last week why did he come out to say ill testify . Maybe to sell books. President trump has to protect the office of the presidency about the future president s, about executives privilege. Nothing about the details will be any big deal. Offset by the whistleblower, by brennan, by biden, hunter biden, ig report. This is the crime of the century. This is an attempted coup on a sitting president. A sitting president turned out to be right. You know who says he is right . Kids in tehran. Kids in beirut, trying to throw off hezbollah. Kids in hong kong, being gassed and taking rubber bullets. Voters in taipei threw out the chinese Economist Party with a landslide. Theyed American Flags and signs of donald trump being a superhero. On the streets of the world. People want freedom and democracy, dictators, trump said no more appeasement. I will confront it and stop it on my watch. The nation should be proud of this. If the try is handled, this is not some technical legal thing. Maria will that impact the president and his timeline . Remember last time the state of the union, it was pushed back a week. She didnt want hill to come to the chambers to deliver state of the union. Talking about giving a rally. This is deja vu all over again. This was government shut county, demanded things for the wall. Maria questioning the state of the union again . Here is the reason she gamed this. Why did they impeach him. They said he is clear and present danger. They said he is a clear and present danger. We have to do this before christmas, he is a clear and present danger. They have waited for two weeks for two things. Theyre trying to get more evidence, theyre running around to get more evidence. They are afraid the guns turn on them because they will be put on trial because they dont want a case. She wants him a state. Union where there is uncertainty. After it is all over, after he has been exonerated and goes before the state of the world and lays out state of the union and state of the world. The world will be more peaceful and prosperous. President trump came up like churchhill did and we stop this. Maria have you talked to him. Weve said it on the show, nonstop, 48 hours. President trump is feel player. He understands the moment. He will think this through. I also think, he said on Laura Ingraham the other night who he wants as witnesses who he would see. That is the way the trial should be run. Put them on trial. Put whistleblower, put brennan, the apparatus tried to shut down, do a coup against a democratically elected president , had right ideas how to bring peace and prosperity to the world. Chinese are not coming to sign this trade deal because everyone mocked him on tariffs. His tariffs worked. He broke them. That is why theyre here, why theyre here to sign the trade deal because Donald Trumps program, every on wall street, oped pages businesses people said it was wrong. Trump after 20 years of allowing them to lie, cheat and steal he brought them to account. He brought them to account because he took bold and dramatic action. Maria even the democrats on stage ready to debate this week, the last debate leading up to the Iowa Caucuses believe china is the bad actor here and agree with the president. They do agree, maria, theyre like in 7th grade. It is embarrassing to see what they say about what to do with china. Look at Donald Trumps actions on china, holding them to account. That is why you have explosions in hong kong and taipei, to hold mullahs to account with Economic Warfare not sending american troops, killing bad guys when you need kill them, but Economic Warfare that broke the mullahs. Debate stage this upcoming week. Michael bloomberg will not be there but apparently to spend up to billion dollars if he doesnt get the nomination. Worked to get the House Majority didnt isnt. The reason he is being inpeached Michael Bloombergs money on back of candidates and nancy pelosi curated. On super tuesday you see effect of money on Democratic Party. He will drop a financial atomic weapon on the field 200 million he. He is committing a billion dollars. How manai i cannily want to remove donald trump from office. Freeman in the wall street journal said were seeing golden age of underdog in america. 9 Income Growth if you dont have high school degree. Bluecollar workers over whitecollar workers. Workers over managers. Blue colorado lar over whitecollar. They see it in taiwan and see it in taipei. Maria 50year low on unemployment. Good to see you. Thank you, maam. Steve bannon joining us. Exclusive breaking news ahead on sunday morning futures t has been a breaking news program. Congressman devin nunez with breaking news on the Inspector General. Watch me fox news Tuesday Morning with exclusive interview with jamie dimon, ceo of jpmorgan chase. We any comments doug . Yeah. Only pay for what you need with Liberty Mutual. Only pay for what you need with Liberty Mutual. Con Liberty Mutual solo pagas lo que necesitas. Only pay for what you need. Only pay for what you need. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Maria welcome back. As the senate prepares for the expected start of the impeachment trial this upcoming week, house gop leaders are investigating the leak that started the investigation in the first place. Devin nunez sending this letter to the intelligence committees Inspector General demanding inconsistencies found in the complaint. Congressman nunez joins me now. Always a pleasure to see you. Thanks for joining us. Great to be here. Maria i got your letter in front of me. Tell us the crux. The bottom line the republicans asked back in september for the icig to provide emails, documentation, how it is possible that someone had only secondhand information could possibly be a whistleblower when it wasnt on the form . What we got back was essentially a nonanswer answer at the early stages of october. At that time we moved into impeachment in the house, what i said at the time even though the media largely ignored it, i said were not finished with the icig. Lo and behold the democrats know that icig is major problem. You know why . They havent released his testimony. He is only one of the star Chamber Games played in the basement of the capital with the secretive interviews, only one not released is the one with the ic Inspector General. That is unacceptable. So what were asking for here is, because what hes claiming is essentially that were just dumb. We made mistakes. It was a huge mistake. That is fine if you want to claim incompetence but you need to have the documentation, the evidence to prove that you were indeed incompetent because it just doesnt pass the smell test and looks so much like Everything Else weve seen from the russia hoax to the ukraine hoax, that became the impeachment scam. Maria this is unbelievable. So do you think you will get these answers . Well, i think its permanent that the icig get these answers by friday because, this is the guy who lit the fuse for this impeachment scam that will now be on trial in the senate. If he wants to clear his name, prove in fact that his office is inpet incompetent he needs to provide the evidence he is incompetent. Maria whistleblower worked for john brennan at a time. Connect the dots here. Youve been exposing a fraud by cabal la of individuals, whether around the leadership of john brennan at the cia or jim comey at the fbi . Look, and that is the other problem with the icig, this icig actually has connections was a lawyer for some of the very people involved in the fisa abuse scam. So all of this becomes intertwined and related and we need to get to the bottom of it. Look the icig in theory works for congress. So why he would not provide evidence which is really the igs, that is their game, right . Horowitz proved theyre very good getting emails and evidence that exist within the bureaucracy. This is not hard for the icig to provide us all the documentation on their supposed stupidity. Maria let me move on, ask you for some reaction to this david chris naming. You have obviously have a lot of experience with this individual, the surveillance court, picks less doj leader david kris to review fbi reforms. Christopher wray comes out with reforms. We have headlines david ciriss wrote about you and nunez memo we know was 100 true when you came out with the nunes memo. That is was the supposed coup that took down candidate trump and President Trump. I dont know this gentleman. I remember at the time there were conspiracy theorists out there who were saying, that they were accusing me of essentially committing crimes, in fact it was fbi and dirty cops, clinton people engaged in this conspiracy to try to take out the president of the United States. So the fact of all of the people in the swamp, granted the swamp isnt very big but there are several Million People that live in this area, this is the guy you come up with, a guy accusing me of federal crimes . A guy that was defending the dirty cops at the fbi . Look, that is why, i said this last night in a tweet. The court must be trying to abolish itself because there is longterm damage, this is just another mess step. Remember, the judge from last year that now, that was in charge of all these fisas, she claimed at the end of the year which was great, oh, my god, there is problem here, we need the fbi to do something, that in of itself was essentially a lie or very close to a lie because she knew from the House Republicans that there was a fraud on the court. They had more information and evidence that we did. So now you have a new judge has been put in place. He picks one of the guys that was essentially covering up for the dirty cops. You cant make it up. I guess were just going to have to abolish this whole fisa system at this point to build something new. I dont think the American People and republicans in congress if this continues you will have continued concern amongst republicans, conservatives there is really something wrong with the fbi. I dont think that there is. I think theyre doing really good job on number of fronts. Maria why this has been calling for accountability in the face of all this. I know you will get it.

The Senate Impeachment trial set to begin soon, likely in the next week after nancy pelosi says that she will send the articles over this week to the senate.

Thanks very much for joining us. Good morning. Will nancy pelosi stop her Second Quarter discuss looks like. She clearly caved. Well follow the rules we have in the senate. Well listen to both sides, make a decision, whether we have witnesses or not but i would like to hear from biden, hunter biden, find out get to the bottom of that, because so much of this started with what he did. Maria nancy pelosi is on another program this morning and she said that, the president violates the constitution again and again. She was asked, do you think it is possible that the house might have to file new articles of impeachment . She said, lets see what the senate does. Doesnt look like they are going to stop to try to come up with even new articles, sir . You know what is frustrating is, i got elected a little over a year ago. I got elected to come up to solve problems. I didnt get elected to have nancy pelosi play games which is all she is doing. We have a secure border, reduce the drug prices. We got issues, got issues with iran and north korea and things like, that she want to spend all of her time trying to impeach this president because she hates donald trump. She hated donald trump and a lot of democrats have since the day he came down that escalator. Why dont we get back to what people elected us to do, solve the problems of this country. Maria how long are you expecting this trial to go . You do think that you will end up getting witnesses in there . If you dont, will you get blowback from nancy pelosi . Well, were going to get blowback from nancy pelosi whatever we do. Look the democrats proved that the person didnt do anything wrong. That is what they did. Only person that has been transparent here is donald trump. He put out the transcript, said they said the transcript is horrible. I dont know what, i dont know how you will vote on something we cant even find a crime he supposedly committed. This is high crimes and misdemeanors . What did he do. He defended this country, i still lets find out exactly what hunter biden was doing. This all started with hunter biden. Maria you would think you would like to see hunter biden come down to testify, in terms of witnesses . Yeah. Yeah. Lets get to the bottom of it. Bottom line well do this. Well follow senate rules. Well not follow Nancy Pelosis rules. Well listen to both sides. Then well make a decision. Maria thank you for joining us, senator rick scott. Well be watching.
