Also congressman matt gaetz on the house judiciary and Armed Services committees as a. G. Barr gets ready to testify in front of that committee. Plus, arkansas senator tom cotton is here on chinas coronavirus epidemic. New information on that this morning. All that and a a lot more as we look ahead on sunday morning futures. Maria and if we begin with this, Michael Bloomberg reportedly considering Hillary Clinton as his running may not bloombergs campaign responding to the news saying this we are focused on the primary and the debate, not Vice President speculation. Joining me right now, normer White House Former white house chief strategist steve bannon, the man who called this back in august on this program. Its great to have you here. Thanks for having me. Maria so you knew Hillary Clinton was going to come into this race. You said it, and everybody was thinking, what . Are you kidding me . But you were right if this is true. Assess the combination of bloomberg and clinton. Look, matt drudge put his name on this, this was original reporting from matt drudge. If he puts his name on something and there hasnt been denials, its money good. There are clearly discussions going on. You really havent had a denial from the bloomberg camp, and you certainly havent had a denial from the Hillary Clinton camp. And i think this goes back to the heart of why the Democratic Party has lost its way, the Democratic Party does not understand today, eight months from election day, why they lost 2016 is. They dont understand about managed decline of our leaks. Theyve spent three years trying to destroy trump, theyve failed to destroy him. Eight months from the election they have nothing, so now they have a moderate republican mayor oligarch of new york combining with a globalist, multitime failure president ial candidate to try to do a combination. And i think this shows you the desperation of the Democratic Party and really the personal vendetta that the clintons and Michael Bloomberg have against President Trump. This is not about taking the country forward or to the next level, not about helping working class people. This is a personal vendetta. And democrats and i come from family of democrats the Democratic Party should be ashamed of itself that its in this situation. Maria you say oligarch, i thought it was interesting when the news first broke that hes considering choosing Hillary Clinton, a lot of people quelled, wait a second, youre not supposed to have two candidates from the same state. Theyre both from new york. So that was very quickly changed by Michael Bloomberg saying, apparently, ive got a home in colorado and florida, ill change my address to say that im florida. Can he do that . This is what oligarchs do. On tuesday night, march 3rd at midnight when the california polls close out west, the Democratic Party will have a democratic socialist and a liberal mayor republican mayor of new york as the two top guys running for the primary. There wont be any democrats around. I believe that bill clintons fingerprints are all over this. I think you can see bill clinton trying to get hillary back in the game, and i said back in august and ive said for a year since remember, trump would be impeached if Michael Bloomberg hadnt put the 100 million up for the house seats. You know, it just show you they have been thinking this through. There was always going to be a reaction to bloomberg buying the Democratic Party. Hes doing a leveraged buyout of the Democratic Party. And the people there was going to be a counterreaction. Hes trying to get in front of that by coopting the clintons and working with the clintons. The bernie people, the Bernie Movement have to understand now they are detested and despised as the deplorables are in the trump movement. And i think this is a wakeup call for all of bernies people to say, hey, we are detested by bloomberg, by the clintons, here we are, the frontrunner, they dont give us any respect. The liberal media doesnt give us any respect. I think the bernie people now have to tart to look for donald trump as their voice. Maria look at this, hes in the lead, bernie is. They dont want him in the lead. The Hillary Clinton camp keeps trashing him, hillary herself said nobody likes him. Why do you think bill clintons fingerprints are all over this . Talk to us about that. First off, i think back in 16, bill clinton was one who said the hipsters in brooklyn do not understand what Donald Trumps doing, hes going into michigan, wisconsin, pennsylvania, hes talking about returning america to its greatness built upon the shoulders of the middle class. Clinton saw that donald trump was resonating with working class democrats and would win those states. The hipsters in brooklyn are, this is why Hillary Clinton never went. The hipsters in brooklyn thought they could microtarget this thing, and thats why clinton has been seething, just like hillary has, from that time. But heres the important point, they havent learned the lessons of trump. All theyve done for three years is try to destroy President Trump. They havent tried working with him on trade, work with him on, you know, bringing jobs back to america. Maria they want to ill peach him again. Look, im not questioning your thinking because youve been so spot on throughout all of this we were pretty mocked when we said bloomberg and clinton. Maria incredible. You were spot on. But this is also coming a day after a Washington Post story about Michael Bloomberg, and the post story said this Mike Bloomberg for years has battled womens allegations of profane, sexist comments. I actually had dipper with a woman from bloomberg the other night, and she said, march what, its horrible. Theyre so misogynystic. I didnt realize it was that bad, but this article is bad for Michael Bloomberg. Are you sure this whole trial balloon of Hillary Clinton just not to distract from this article . The timing of this is definitely a takeoff of both the Washington Post and the New York Times. Heres the thing about the bloomberg thing i think is so shocking, and once again, its going to test the Core Principles of whether theyre going to have an oligarch. Theyre supposed to be about the me too movement and times up movement and heres what you have. Different than President Trumps offhand remarks, the locker room talk triggered him and they went nuts, the problem with bloomberg, its premeditated and its cruel. What he said to these women about aborting their children, about their looks, what he said to these women about the africanamerican nannies, this was cruel, it was premeditated, and its over years and years and years. This is not offhand comments and locker room talk. Thats where youve got to have a gut check with the Democratic Party to see if somebody like in thats had a history of this, you come in as an oligarch and buy the Democratic Party, and the bernie people ought to be outraged. The democratic apparatus and establishment has no respect maria hes willing to spend up to 2 billion to take out President Trump. He doesnt want any billionaires, by the way, in america anyway. How much of a threat is Clinton Bloomberg together against donald trump . Listen, anytime he said 2 billion, and hes not the nominee. Unlimited amount of money. He has a personal vendetta against the president , so does Hillary Clinton. As long as they dont get to the thesis of why donald trump won, which is return to greatness and focus on working class people and middle class issues, Donald Trumps going to win. But this is teeing up to be the nastiest, most Brutal Campaign in american history. People say its the most important election. I dont know if its the most important, but i can tell you its going to be the nastiest and most brutal. And the Trump Campaign, you have to go no huddle offense. Every day like your last day, you have the play hard. President trump is going to win and should win, but i gotta tell you, bloombergs money, the clinton apparatus and the Mainstream Media selling out, remember if the Mainstream Media had done their jobs, for the last year that have weve been told biden, warren, biden, warren. Theyre nonevents. They try to destroy him, try to prop up other people that can take him on. The Democratic Party sold occupant to an oligarch maria and you said this is an incredible new york story. President trump, bloomberg, its unbelievable. Real quick, in terms of this coronavirus, now the New York Times reporting that xi jinping was on it early. Like youve been saying, also the foxconns announced theyre not opening the factories tomorrow. This virus is very important. Thes taken great action so far, but i think people have got to start focusing on the impact to the economy. The chinese economy, i think, is imploding. Maria steve bannon joining us.

Breaking news this morning, white house hopeful Michael Bloomberg is making headlines this morning. The former new york city mayor reportedly considering Hillary Clinton as his running mate after internal polling found that the combo would could be, a formidable force. Lets bring in California Republican congressman, House Minority leader Kevin Mccarthy. Congressman, thanks so much for joining us. Thank you. Maria let me get your take on that. Lets start there. Bloomberg clinton, how do you see it . First, it tells you that bloomberg realizes he cannot win the nomination against bernie without cheating. Remember, hillary cheated bernie last time to win the nomination. The chair of the party had to resign the night before the convention because they were caught. Secondly, it tells you about bloomberg himself, that he believes he can manipulate democracy. Remember what he did as mayor. He changed he got the city council to change term limits. He doesnt believe the 12th amendment applies to him, hell just move to colorado. And thirdly, it also means the hypocrisy of democrats themselves. They cry about money, but they took more than 1 is 00 million from bloomberg last time to buy congress. And what dud it buy em . A new congressman by the name of t. J. Cox out in california. He just got 144,000 tax lien for the irs. He doesnt want to pay his taxes, but he votes to raise yours. Youve got Bernie Sanders whos a millionaire who doesnt believe anybody else should have money. Its those three major things that is wrong with this Democratic Party and why President Trump has built a Strong Economy and will win regardless who the democrat, if they cheat bernie and have somebody else, the best thing the democrats should do for theiren convention is have a payperview, because its going to be the most interesting fight internally and cheating that weve ever seen in politics. Maria within the Democratic Party, some of them dont want bernie, we know that. Hillary clintons trashing him all the time. Some of them dont want bloomberg either because of all of that money. How far will that money go, congressman . We know that he gave the democrats 100 plus Million Dollars last year, and it worked. They took the house majority. You know whats most interesting, follow the tweets of Michael Bloomberg. He tweeted that he became a democrat just days before he released the 100 million. Was he trying to buy a nomination a few years later to run for president in interesting question and wonder why he did it. But whats interesting here is the democrats who are afraid of Bernie Sanders because hes a socialist, i dont know why. Speaker pelosi has already surrendered to the socialists. More than half of their entire conference has already cosponsored medicare for all, socialized medicine. Think also that they have a majority of them who have already supported a Green New Deal that will destroy our economy. Maria okay. Let me ask you about your money because gop fundraising has been going well. I know youre going to be catching up with President Trump, and you will travel to california. Youre going to bring the president to bakersfield, your hometown, got a big fundraiser coming hosted by larry ellison. What kind of reaction are you getting from donors postimpeachment . The thing were seeing most of all is the importance of winning the house, because if we do not change the house, theyll continue to impeach this president. Look what they just spent their entire timeawaying this majority, and now you have eric swalwell, adam schiff still talking about impeachment. If you want enough to that stop of that to stop, go to take the house. Com and make a difference. Because Michael Bloomberg will write at dollar 2 billion to try to not only keep the house, but inthe presidency. The president goes out to the american public, and hes setting new records, but whats more important is on turnout. Democrat turnout is down, and this president s breaking not only republican turnout, but any president running for reelection in iowa and new hampshire. Now, ive been able to raise some money, but the democrats have set new records as well. Thats a concern. If you want to stop this and actually have a congress that works with President Trump but more importantly works for america, youve got to take the house. Com and do something about it. Maria all right. Let me can you about the announcement youre going to be making with the president. Youre doing a big effort around water. Your county is, what, the number one agricultural county. Curran county is number one in value of agriculture, and if theres anything that coronavirus should actually follow what we need, the security of our food supply. Making sure that its grown in america, that its safe and secure. We have a real concern in california because we send most of our water out to the ocean and sending it town to Southern California to our farmlands in the San Joaquin Valley and others. This president has worked greatly using science, not based on politics, but on science, to allow to have more of that water stay with the californians in america to make sure were secure in our food supply. Maria there was a meeting that nancy pelosi had, she said she wants the conversation to start shifting to the economy. What can you tell us about that behind the scenes meeting that nancy pelosi is she changing her tune to be actually talk about whats important to the American People now . Well, thats a real, thats a real sign that the civil war inside the democratic congress, they are very upset that they have nothing to run for reelection upon except impeachment. And so they got together, they said, what should we do . Well, pretty politically, we should go after the economy. But another thing, theyre continuing to lie about it when were flourishing in the economy. 61 percent of americans are better off than they were three years ago. No president running for reelection has ever seen these numbers. 91 of americans are happy with their life. This is a real concern for the democrats, so they have 30 democrats sitting in seats trump carried, and theyre going to lose, and it only takes 18 to change the house. Maria congressman, thanks very much for being here this morning. Thank you, maria. Martha Kevin Mccarthy joining us from florida to go to california with the president.

Attorney general bill barr gearing up to testify in front of the House Judiciary Committee. Thats happening on march 31st. After news this past week that former fbi director Andrew Mccabe has escaped all charges from the doj in its investigation in his lack of candor and leaks in the Hillary Clinton investigation. Joining me right now is fox news contributor, former South Carolina congressman and former House Oversight Committee Chairman trey gowdy. Trey, thanks very much for being here. Yes, maam, thank you. Maria we are lucky to have you this morning as you are one of only two congressmen that were able to see the redacted information, two congressmen from the gop, that had seen the redacted documents that were so important to both of those investigations, the Hillary Clinton investigation and the trump collusion russia investigation. Why do you think mccabe is getting off here from the doj . Hes already admitted to lying, right, trey . Is there something we dont know that the doj is clearing Andrew Mccabe . Well, andy mccabe not being indicted for a are discreet fact pattern a very discreet fact pattern which is simply the leaking of information to bolster his own credibility in the terms to of the clinton investigation. Thats it. And we should have known weeks ago when they were having trouble getting an indictment, if you having trouble, theres no way youre going to get a conviction. Youve seen a change in the u. S. Attorneys office in the district of columbia. So he escapes indictment for that narrow fact pattern. But that has nothing to do with fisa and the initiation of russia and any other potential misconduct that andy mccabe may have engaged in. Thats a really narrow, discreet fact pattern that hes not being indicted for. Maria so it could actually be that hes cooperating with john durham or that hes looking as a suspect in the nowcriminal probe, is that right . Well, hes certainly somebody john durham would want to talk to. It could go the whole range from he didnt do anything wrong, and he did admit to misrepresentations, but thats a little bit different than intentionally misrepresenting an intentionally false statement. It could be that hes just simply not guilty. It could be that hes cooperating with john durham, or it could be that hes still under investigation for other fact patterns not related to that discreet one with the leak and the clinton investigation. Maria let me ask you about john durham and what he is looking at now, because were all waiting to see whats going on, and we understand that hes been looking at John Brennans communicationings as well, then the head of the cia. In your view, what is john durham looking at . Maria, the factual predicate for this russia investigation, and im not talking about the summer of 2016, im talking about stuff that happened in late 2015 and early 2016. Remember, the doj and the fbi told paul ryan and devin nunes and myself repeatedly and exclusively that Nothing Happened before june of 2016. Finish no payments were made, no contacts with the Trump Campaign. Im sure john durham is looking to see whether or not thats true. Hes also looking at the fisa process and misrepresentations made to the fisa court. I think hes also looking at that ica, that Intelligence Community assessment that john brennan got done towards the end of the barack obama tenure to make sure whether or not that was thoroughly investigated and whether or not all the right information made its way into that ica. Three important things, three separate things. Maria and you were among those questioning a number of witnesses to try to get to the bottom of this. You actually questioned john brennan, and john brennan told you straight out the dossier had nothing to do with the fisa process. We now know that was one of the single things they used, the dossier, to actually get those fisa warrants. But i also want to show this counterintel activity timeline that we have put together here, and it shows that general flynn was paid to speak in moscow in december of 2015. And George Papadopoulos was invited to a conference in rome in march of 16. And then Joseph Misfud told papadopoulos in april of 2016 that russia had Hillary Clinton emails. The list goes on and on, april, may, all the way up to july 31st when the actual counterintelligence probe started according to the fbi. So what about all this other stuff happening at the end of 15 and early 16 that these are serious informants running up against Trump Campaign people . How do you explain that if the investigation started in july, trey . Well, thank good i dont have to. The folks at the fbi and the doj, theyre the ones that are going to have to explain whether or not Michael Flynn speaking in russia was manager they were looking at something they were looking at separate or whether or not they were looking at that because he was an adviser to the Trump Campaign. I could not be more clear, we asked the doj and the fbi repeatedly did anything happen before june of 2016. We asked em at justice, we canned them in the basement of asked them in the basement of the capitol, and the answer was always the same, Nothing Happened before june of 2016. And if something did happen, then either the fbi misrepresented facts to us, or it wasnt the fbi, it was another agency that was doing it. Both of those are important to know, and john durham, i hope, is going to be able to answer that question. Maria and, of course, if its the cia, we know why john durham looking at john brennan as he was all over tv saying that the president committed treason when, in fact, he was running the cia. Perhaps the cia was sending these informants in. Gotta ask you about the exculpatory evidence that you have seen, you broke the news on this program over a year ago, you said that there was a transcript of a conversation between George Papadopoulos i said that, not you and an informant where basically george said to the guy, no, i would never do that, thats treason. What else do we need to know about that exculpatory piece of evidence . Well, i want you to imagine this hypothetically, maria. Imagine that youre accused of a crime, and this is your response. Number one, i didnt do it. To factually, thats pretty important. Number one, i didnt do it. Number two, i would never do that because it is a crime for which you can be put to death, and it is a crime against a country that i love. If thats your response to an accusation that you engaged in improper conduct, that is textbook exculpatory evidence. You really cant draw up a better piece of exculpatory evidence than i didnt do it, i would never do it, its a crime to do it. So if that happened, then the court needed to know about it. Maria this is more information that you gave us in so many words that is that transcript that you have to believe john durham is looking at, and everyone is looking at in charge because it was not given to fisa court to get those warrants. They said that two of the four warrants were unlawful. Im putting my money that perhaps more than two of them were with unlawful. Congressman trey gowdy, good to see you this morning, thank you, sir. Yes, maam. Maria still ahead, senator tom cotton on chinas coronavirus epidemic. Weve go i knew about the tremors. But when i started seeing things, i didnt know what was happening. So i kept it in. He started believing things that werent true. I knew something was wrong. But i didnt say a word. During the course of their disease around 50 of people with parkinsons may experience hallucinations or delusions. But now, doctors are prescribing nuplazid. The only fda approved medicine. Proven to significantly reduce hallucinations and delusions related to parkinsons. Dont take nuplazid if you are allergic to its ingredients. Nuplazid can increase the risk of death in elderly people with dementiarelated psychosis and is not for treating symptoms unrelated to parkinsons disease. Nuplazid can cause changes in heart rhythm and should not be taken if you have certain abnormal heart rhythms or take other drugs that are known to cause changes in heart rhythm. Tell your doctor about any changes in medicines youre taking. The most common side effects are swelling of the arms and legs and confusion. We spoke up and it made all the difference. Ask your parkinsons specialist about nuplazid. Maria welcome back. The Chinese Communist government appears to be pushing a new account of events that presents president xi jinping as taking early action to fight krone are that virus according to coronavirus according to todays New York Times. But in doing so, theyre admitting that he was aware of the virus before he first publicly spoke about it. Meanwhile, arkansas senator tom cotton has been calling out china, suggesting the virus may have come from their biological warfare program. The Chinese Ambassador to the United States responded this its very teenagers dangerous to start suspicion, rumors among the people. For one thing, this will create panic, another, xenophobia, Racial Discrimination that will harm our joint efforts to combat the virus. Of course, there are all kind of speculation and rumors. So far at least 69,000 people have been infected with coronavirus, over 1600 have died. Joining me right now is senator tom cot month himself, he has been cotton himself, he has been speaking out about chinas response to this fatal virus. Senator, its good to have you today, thanks very much for being here. Thanks for having me on, maria. Maria and you were among the first lawmakers to really raise the red flag on krone, warning coronavirus a, warning your Senate Colleague nearly two weeks ago this is worse than chernobyl your words, not mine that china has been lying about it from the very beginning. As the situation as you know it today. Maria, the situation is grave in part because, as you say, china was lying from the beginning, and theyre still lying today. And also because theres so many unknowns about this virus. For example, how many people one person can infect once they have the virus are, the extent to which its contagious or the mortality rate. Thats why ive been saying that an ounce of prevention worth a pound of a cure, to quote benjamin franklin, and why the president was so smart to ban travel coming from china just a couple weeks ago so we didnt have more than 20,000 people landing in our country every single day from mainland china. Maria you know, thats pretty extraordinary, and then they criticized the United States for putting that travel ban in effect. And the fact is, is theyre criticizing us for the travel banker but isnt it true that theyre got people locked down in their home . Maria, they have more than 70 Million People now under quarantine x youve probably seen the videos online from social media sites, as have i, of the Chinese Communist partys Police Beating people who they think might have coronavirus or trying to keep them locked inside of their apartments or quarantining them in large hospitals or what have you. They have not been transparent at all, and they need to be. Maria and this is one of the issues because you had initially the doctor who was a whistleblower, in effect, who said, look, start wearing protective gear because weve got this coronavirus happening. He was arrested, he was shamed in the press and, unfortunately, now hes dead. Yeah. Its a tragic story. Dr. We think who was an on the molls. The Chinese Communist party threatened punishment. He later came down with the virus and himself has died, leaving behind a pregnant wife and a young child. Hes become something of a martyr among the Chinese People who, lets remember, are the first and worst victims of the Chinese Communist partys dishonesty. Maria at the same time, we need to really understand why these diseases keep coming out of china. I mean, we remember sars and mers, and now its coronavirus. Weve been told that this originated in an open Seafood Market with youve got a market that youve got bats and cats and pigs and all sorts of animals all at once. But there is also speculation that perhaps it did not originate there. Tell us what you know. Yeah. So, maria, heres what we do know, this virus did not originate in the wuhan epidemiologists who are widely respected from china who have published or studied in the International Journal of the lancet have demonstrated several of the original cases did not have contact with that food market. The virus went into that food market before it came out of that food market. We dont know where it originate ld, but we do know we have to get to the bottom of that. A few mile away from that food market is chinas only biosafety level iv Super Laboratory that researches human infectious diseases. Now, we dont have evidence that this disease originated there, but because of chinas duplicity and dishonesty from the beginning, we need to at least ask the question to see what the evidence says, and china right now is not giving any ed on that question evidence on that question at all. Maria so this super lab that you referred to, its the only one of its kind in this area, in wuhan, in the province that area. And what do they do at this super lab . Its up clear, maria. Unclear. We have such laboratories ourselves in the United States run by our military in large part done for preventive purposes. Were trying to discover vaccines or to protect our own soldiers. Chinas obviously very secretive about what happens at the wuhan laboratory. We dont know, again, where this virus originated, thats why its so important that we at least ask the questions and get the evidence. But china continues to block our ability to ask those questions and get that evidence. Maria but in terms of getting to the bottom of it, the centers for Disease Control wanted to go into china. The u. S. Has offered a lot of help including sending the cdc in there to investigate exactly where this originated and how severe it is. But they said no, right . Thats right. The Chinese Government has consistently blocked american scientists who are obviously the very best in the world from going to wuhan, going to try to provide assistance to make sure that this virus is contained to the greatest extent possible, discover its origins, to shed light on a what that may mean for successful testing and vaccines. But the Chinese Communist Party Continues to refuse that offer of assistance from the United States. Maria now, the Chinese Ambassador called the notion of biological warfare, quote, absolutely crazy. Finish accusing you of trying to spread misinformation and panic. Whats your response there . I mean, we dont want to create panic, but at the same time people need to be educated in terms of what exists in this region in china. Well, the burden of proof right now is on the Chinese Communist party and the ambassador of china and his fellow communists. They have lied consistently about this from the beginning, so we should not take their word at face value. And, no, we dont want to have a public panic, but we do want to err on the side of caution when so much is unknown. And thats consistently what china has not done, by consistently lying to its own people and to the world, they have created a situation where we have not been able to take the preventative measures that we might have, and we have not been able to err on the side of caution. Maria tell we what the downplague of this has done. In other words downplaying of this. In other words, the chinese knew about the coronavirus back in november of 2019. They sent a delegation to the white house to shake everybodys hand, to do a face one china deal. They sent the largest ever delegation to davos at the end of january. Do you think the downplaying of this virus has actually exacerbated it . Oh, theres no doubt about that, maria. The first cases indicated in early december which meant they were transmitted sometime in november. China finally fessed up to the who on december if 1st that they had taken 31st the entire world might have been better protected. This is just a pattern of chinese dishonesty from the very beginning which continues to this very day. Just a few days ago we went from a situation where they were reporting only a couple hundred more cases to almost 14,000 cases in a single day. That wasnt the result of a scientific discovery, that was a political decision to finally reveal what they knew to be true. Yet they are still covering up and in all likely another the number of cases and deaths of coronavirus inside of china. Maria and do you think theres anything that we should be doing here in america to, hopefully, avoid what sounds like its a pandemic coming . Well, again, i want to commend the president for shutting down travel from china. That was the most important preventative step we could have taken. Its very important that we empower our local and state Health Officials to test at the broadest possible criteria for anyone whos been to china or been in contact with someone from china whos showing any indication of the symptoms of coronavirus. Its so critical that we do that and that the cdc develop effective and quick testing protocols as well so so we dont have a situation where people are infected with the coronavirus but are told theyre not infected as, unfortunately, happened just a few days ago in san diego. Maria senator, thanks very much. Thank you. Maria senator tom cotton maria senator tom cotton joining i. 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 all we needed somebody to lean on the new xc90 plugin hybrid electric. Xc90. Recharged. Maria welcome back. Attorney general william barr expected to testify before the House Judiciary Committee on march 31st after the justice departments decision to overrule prosecutors and seek a lighter sentence for trump associate roger stone. Lets bring in Florida Republican congressman matt gaetz, a member of the house judiciary, Armed Services and budget committees, and it is great to see you, thanks very much for being here. Good morning, maria. Maria i want do you about what youre expecting from william barr when he testifies in front of your committee. Let me just get your take on Andrew Mccabe. Is he off the hook at this point entirely . My audience has been waiting for accountability. Andrew mccabe, it looks like, is off the hook according to the doj, and you say . I think trey gowdy put it right, the department of justice did not issue a statement saying that they were done investigating Andrew Mccabe. This revelation came as a consequence of the d. C. U. S. Attorney sending a letter to mccabes lawyer saying that on the very narrow fact pattern of mccabes lies, leaks and lies about his leaks that that would not result in a criminal prosecution. But i think its far more insidious, the conversion of a counterintelligence investigation that should have been intended to help the Trump Campaign fend off russian interference efforts into a criminal probe to try to delegitimize the president. I obviously believe based on the testimony from peter strzok and lisa page that the insurance policy created in andys office was preare icily that precisely that effort to try to give people an effort to delegitimize the president before and after his election. Maria it sounds like you agree, yes, hes off the hook in terms of the leaks to the media specifically to the Hillary Clinton investigation, but hes obviously going to be questioned or is a witness for john durham and maybe hes even cooperating with john durham . I dont know how Andrew Mccabe wouldnt be central to the durham probe because Andrew Mccabe was the acting fbi director. And remember the Text Messages between strzok and page where they talk about the need to open up investigations during mccabes tenure as the acting fbi director because they didnt think they could get that maybe in the future if someone else were brought in. So he seems central to that probe. I believe he should have been prosecuted for the lying because of the double standard. We see mike flynn, roger stone, George Papadopoulos all charged with misstatements and mccabe not charged, it sort of makes people believe that an old fbi Business Card may be doubling as a get out of jail free card, and thats what we want to see the attorney genre foot, acknowledge there is still some swamp to be drained at the the president of justice. Maria and dont forget the obama appointee, amy jackson, hes going to be the judge assigned to Peter Strzoks wrongful termination suit. I want to jewish ask you what you want to ask a. G.

Im back with congressman matt gaetz, member of the House Judiciary Committee where a. G. Bill barr will be testifying on march 31st. Congressman, some of your colleagues on the left want to impeach bill barr. Finish what specifically are you and your colleagues trying to solicit from bill barr . Well, i want to know why bruce ohr is still working at the department of justice, again, getting back to the point that i think weve got a lot of the new Senior Leadership in place to disengage from politics. I think the Mainstream Media has cast this incorrectly. They would suggest that bill barr has infected the frontline prosecution teams with politics when the reality is they were engaging in, i think, political retribution against roger stone, Michael Flynn and maybe to some extent George Papadopoulos as well. I think barr has reoriented those frontline prosecutors to the overall goals of the administration, and thats entirely appropriate because if theyre all members of the executive branch. And i think well see that in the questioning. What democrats will do, maria, is try to showcase some white house connection to the decisions being made. But if anything, the decision not to prosecute Andrew Mccabe woulden exonerate the white house from any type of involvement in those investigative decisions. Maria its interesting because the the president of justice now reviewing Rudy Giulianis information as it relates to ukraine and what he says is astounding corruption on the part of democrats in ukraine. Where does that stand, and, you know, Lindsey Graham has said repeatedly on this program that this is a Foreign Affairs situation where you have to have people like hunter biden and the whistleblower and adam schiff appear at the Foreign Affairs committee to testify, not the judiciary committee. Which is it . Are you guys ever going to call these people down to testify . I love Lindsey Graham, hes got a big old gavel in the judiciary committee, and i sure hope hell use it to try to bring these matters before his group. I dont believe that this is a Foreign Affairs question because it goes to work and the decisions at the department of justice and whether or not they review these cases appropriately in making their prosecution and declination decisions regarding these particular defendants. Weve already seen that it was the fbi and department of justice infected with politics that caused this corruption russia investigation corrupt russia investigation to begin, so it only seems appropriate we would want to approve that through the judiciary committee. Go get em, lindsey, were all behind you. Maria well see. Ive asked him on this program, and hes said its his colleague in Foreign Affairs. Youre on both committees. Look, i think that senator graham sought the judiciary chairmanship precisely because he wanted to help us continue draining the swamp. I know lindseys made a great deal of mention ant that work, i think there are a lot of us in the house that would like to see the Committee Work begin now that we have the inspector e generals report to be the underlying documents to inform on those decisions. Maria real quick, the senate has passed the iran war powerses resolution this past week, one of three house gop offers to gopers to vote yes, you were, and isnt this a message to iran, oh, were going to clip the president s wings while they continue to provoke this country . Thats nonsense. Iran would never be free from this president s actions as a consequence of the he has under article ii of the constitution and under the war powers act. He can act even preemptively to defend our interests, our allies, our troops. But no president should be able to drag our country into another multidecade war, and thats why ill be voting for the iran resolution again. Maria all right. Congressman, its always a pleasure to see you, sir. Thanks very much. Thank you. Maria congressman matt gaetz. Thatll do it for us on sunday morning futures. Make sure to continue the conversation with me, join me this upcoming week on mornings with maria, 69 a. M. Eastern monday through friday, weekdays on fox business. We will continue this conversation, and we hope that you will be with me as well. Thanks for being here. Have a great rest of your sunday on sunday morning futures. I knew about the tremors. But when i started seeing things, i didnt know what was happening. So i kept it in. He started believing things that werent true. I knew something was wrong. But i didnt say a word. During the course of their disease around 50 of people with parkinsons may experience hallucinations or delusions. But now, doctors are prescribing nuplazid. The only fda approved medicine. Proven to significantly reduce hallucinations and delusions related to parkinsons. Dont take nuplazid if you are allergic to its ingredients. Nuplazid can increase the risk of death in elderly people with dementiarelated psychosis and is not for treating symptoms unrelated to parkinsons disease. Nuplazid can cause changes in heart rhythm and should not be taken if you have certain abnormal heart rhythms or take other drugs that are known to cause changes in heart rhythm. Tell your doctor about any changes in medicines youre taking. The most common side effects are swelling of the arms and legs and confusion. We spoke up and it made all the difference. Ask your parkinsons specialist about nuplazid. The president of the United States from the day he took office more than two years ago has prevailed in every attack against him even as those attacks, nearly all of them orchestrated by the radical dems and the deep state grew ever
