Republican house judiciary member mike johnson is here to discuss the committees vote to authorize subpoenas for the Mueller Report and how hes trying to get to the bottom of what happened inside the Justice Department during the 2016 election plus, i set down with secretary of state mike pompeo on friday, to discuss ongoing trade talks with china, concerns about huawei and europe and the president s decision to cut aid to central america, all that and a lot more as we look ahead right now on sunday morning futures. And this morning attorney general william barr is getting set to testify on capitol hill this upcoming tuesday, his appearance comes as lawmakers eagerly await his redacted version of the Mueller Report expected in the coming weeks this amid escalating criticism from democrats now calling barr s summary of the report into question, pushing for the entire report to be made public, joining me right now is the Ranking Member of the House Intelligence Committee republican congressman from california devon nunes joins us from the world ag expo in california this morning, congressman nunes was one of the first to cast doubt on the russian collusion narrative, hes been working two years to uncover and expose it. He recently penned an oped in the Washington Examiner titled the russian collusion hoax, meets an unbelievable end and congressman always a pleasure to see you thank you so much for being here. Thank you, great to be with you. Maria look this is the first time you and i had are talking on this program i spoke with you last week, i know on mornings with maria on the Fox Business Network but this is the first time were talking after the conclusion of the no cottages from the special counsel and from the ag, congratulations, you ought to be taking a victory lap here, congressman. Youve been trying to expose all of this for the last two years, coming on this program, every several weeks to talk about it how you doing after this . Im doing well and i just want to thank you also for your show because youre one of the few shows that actually let members of congress and others come on and actually get into the meat of the details so i would say that your Investigative Journalism has been great on this maria, and theres still more work to do and theres no really time for victory laps, because people have to be held accountable for this nonsense. Maria thats absolutely right and thats what our viewers want to nowhere is the accountability you wrote this oped in the Washington Examiner the russian collusion hoaxes meets unbelievable end where you really laid out exactly how this started and how the Clinton Campaign paid for a dirty dossier which was then penetrat ed throughout our government, throughout the media , to keep this narrative alive and put a cloud under a dulyelected president for two years. Yeah, and i would also say this is kind of a strange situation where you have mccarthyism that merged with water gate wannabes, so you had unbelievable leaks that occurred across all levels of our government. You had all sorts of reporters 90 of the press essentially was in on this, it started by dirty ing up a president ial candidate and then it went on to dirtying up a president and you had a bunch i think people within fbi and doj we dont know exactly where but theyre wannabe the next deep throat the person leaking classified information for the betterment of all society but in this case, it just got completely out of hand and weve had unbelievable disclosures of classified information and this is why weve been working so hard for two and a half years, waiting for our real attorney general, which we have now and attorney general barr, a grownup is finally in the room which is why were prepared to do a lot of cleanup here. Maria lets talk about that cleanup and what comes next because we want to get into where the law was broken. You were going to come out with a list of referrals and you told me you are ready to hand this over to the ag this upcoming week. What can you tell us about this list of referrals and about the referral of criminal conduct that you are about to release, sir . So weve been working on this for two and a half years compiling information, right, as we continue this investigation. We couldnt really send these criminal referrals over without an attorney general in place, so were prepared this week to notify the attorney general that were prepared to send those referrals over and brief him if he wishes to be briefed, we think theyre pretty clear, but as of right now this is, this may not be all of them but this cleans up quite a bit, we have eight referrals that we are prepared to send over to the attorney general this week. Maria so youve got eight referrals that youre going to send over to the ag this week, go through these referrals, two of them i know are about conspiracy what can you tell us tell us as much as you can in terms of breaking this news this morning that you are prepared to send over eight criminal referrals next week, what are they congressman . So i would say that first od , or sensitive and so because a lot of them could contain sensitive or classified information. Five of them are what i would call straight up referrals so just referrals that are, that name someone and name the specific crimes. Those crimes are lying to congress, misleading congress, leaking classified information. So five of them are those types. There are three that i think are more complicated so you mentioned conspiracy, so the question on conspiracy is what, theres the conspiracy statute, and then what do they need to look at under that statute, so on the first one, is fisa abuse and other matters we believe there is a conspiracy to lie to the fisa court, mislead the fisa court by numerous individuals that all need to be investigative and looked at that and we believe the statute is the conspiracy statute. The second conspiracy one is involving manipulation of intelligence, that also could be Many Americans and we are, so thats kind of the second one, as you know, weve had a lot of concerns with the way intelligence was used so that would be kind of the two conspiracy recommendations, referrals that were making. The third is what i would call a global leak referral, so there are about a dozen highly sensitive classified information leaks that were given to only a few reporters over the last two and a halfplus years, so we dont know if theres actually been any leak investigations that have been open but we do believe that weve got pretty good information and a pretty good idea of who could be behind these leaks. Didnt mean we know all the people behind the leaks because when you read these a lot of these theyre always anonymous sources, and they always Say Something to the effect of current and former senior officials, so we think weve got a pretty good idea of who some of the sources are behind these leaks. We dont know if the department of justice has been looking at these but theres just been unprecedented things have happened and ill just close with this. You had conversations with the president of the United States and the Prime Minister of australia leak. You had leaks of the president talking, President Trump talking to the mexican president leak. We all know the travesty of general flynn. He knows where those suppose ed transcripts came from so those are just three examples that are absolutely horrific but theres things that are even worse that were leaked and there is only two or three reporters involved in this and so it wouldnt be hard to get to the bottom of but youve got to were prepared to make those eight referrals this week, so the two on conspiracy, the one on global leaks and then five that are more specific on lying, leaking, and misleading congress. Maria explain to our audience what criminal referral means, because weve been talking about this as well for two years, and our audience wants to know where the accountability is. We already know that there was a criminal referral to Andrew Mccabe the number two guy at the fbi so where does that stand, what does that mean that he was criminal referred. Hes out on a book tour, so viewers are saying well okay, he was criminally referred but he is still on his book tour so what does that really mean for accountability . I think its a great question, because people get so frustrated as i am all over go around the United States of america and in my district, people are frustrated like why cant you do anything . People have to understand theres three branches of government. Were the legislative branch we dont strap on guns and bring handcuffs out to the crime scene all we can do is investigate. We can take information from folks, we can interview people, and as everyone knows thats what weve been doing for two and a half years, but we dont have the power to arrest, or convict, so we have to take these criminal referrals to the department of justice with all of the information, all of the work that weve done, ask the department of justice to take these up and look maybe they already have investigations open and maybe they dont, but they are the investigative arm. Now it gets more complicated because you have the top officials in the department of justice and the fbi that are likely involved in the referrals that were going to make, so with that said, this is why its so sensitive why we want to give this directly to the attorney general and let him decide how to take these referrals. Then at the same time, just because we have information and the executive branch decides to look at that information, all americans have a right to a fair trial and that goes to the Judicial Branch of our government so i know its frustrating, but we have three branches of government for a reason and we have to work within those bounds of the constitution. Maria but you are an elected official. One would think an elected official sends over criminal referrals to the attorney general, the ag will take it seriously and perhaps launch an investigation, criminal investigation. Yeah, i think look, i think its impossible to ignore. Some of these are very straight up. If theyre busting people if the mueller team was busting people for lying to the fbi, i mean, theres some Pretty Simple times when people lied to congress, mislead congress, you know, for the sole purpose of obstructing our investigation and remember what we were trying to get to the bottom of that was that the department of justice and the fbi and the Clinton Campaign were essentially taking information from russians. The very thing they were looking at the Trump Campaign for, so i would be surprised if they dont take this up, some of these up that are very just cut and dry very simple could be prosecuted in a short amount of time. Maria how many people is this capturing . Youve got eight referrals, several people lied to congress, several people also apparently mislead the fisa court and i want you to explain how they mislead the fisa court but first tell us how many people is this capturing can you give us any names on this list in terms of your referrals . Well im not prepared to give any names but i think most people that have followed russia gate for a long time, they know a lot of the names, but theres five that are straight up, five names. Then there are when you get to the leaks, we dont know, we think theres only a few people behind these leaks but there could be multiple people, so on the global leak referral, there could be several individuals. When you look at the conspiracy that could get up to a dozen, two dozen people, so for example , we dont know all the people that are involved. Look we know strzok and page and their involvement because theyve been interviewed but theres other people that were above strzok and below strzok that have not been interviewed so we dont know if theyre involved in this conspiracy or not but one of the things thats great is weve had so many whistleblowers so many people over the last two and a half years that have come great americans who have come and said look this isnt right and you guys have to get to the bottom of it and its been an unbelievable investigation that weve undertaken, but i think one that has been quite fruitful so that we can put the United States on the road to recovery to get over this manufactured hoax. Maria and manufactured is what you might call what john brennan has been going along with for the last two years calling president treasonist. Is he on your list . Walking around with this cia title former director of the cia , for the last two years he said the president committed treason. Yeah well look what i would say about all of these former intelligence heads is that yeah, this is just not appropriate. I think some Point Congress is going to have to look at these laws and decide, do we really want our former cia director going out publicly, going on to Television Getting huge television contracts . I dont know maybe we need to look at how this is setup again because it really puts somebody in a bind if they can, it puts americans in a bind if they can say ive seen the classified information, and i can tell you there may be a crime there. Its just not right. Maria congressman well take a short break i want your take on specifically how they mislead the fisa court because weve had a number of your colleagues on who pushback on that also got to get your take on your thoughts on whats going on in terms of the Mueller Report being released in its entirety. Plus, later democratic congresswoman Alyssa Slatkin had s is with me with secretary of state mike pompeo all ahead after the short break.

Maria were back with congressman devon nunes this morning and congressman you just broke news on the program that you are sending eight criminal referrals to the ag next week, three of them around conspiracy, lying, leaking, and now one of them conspiracy to lie to the fisa court congressman, we had your colleague jim himes, who said there is absolutely no wrongdoing in front of the fisa court. And you say . Well i dont really care what they say. They lied multiple times, the American People, all you have to do is look at their phony memos. Theyve had the full support of the media 90 of the media in this country they all have egg on their face, so the fact of the matter remains, is there going to be is justice going to be served or is justice going to be denied, and thats why were sending over these criminal referrals, so you know theres so much left to remember. The American People have only seen the pieces that have been declassified so far that we were luckily been able to make classified and let the American People know about how the fisa court was abused. Theres still more information. Ive said this before, this was their insurance policy. A lot of people think the insurance policy was just the overall investigation of the Trump Campaign. Its actually much more than that thats left behind there. There was information we talked about it on your show many times , so look, maria, if you take what the democrats have said and throughout the last two and a half years theres only one thing that you can be certain of and that is whatever they tell you is wrong, or a lie or they actually mean the opposite. Maria should the Mueller Report be made public congressman . Well what ive said i think i was one of the first members of congress to actually say that the Mueller Report should be made public, but not just the Mueller Report, because remember , many people that are on the team, the mueller team are involved in a lot of these conspiracies, right . So you have the leader on the team as the deputy supposedly and another top lawyer, were both involved in the chain of custody of the steele dossier the democratic and it is impossible for me to believe that those two lawyers very smart lawyers, didnt know in the middle of 2016 that that information was dirt coming from the democrats. Its impossible. The other two, you had two fbi agents, strzok and page who were kicked off the mueller team, so i want the underlying information because i dont believe i think the indictments that were made by the mueller team i think some are very questionable and i think theres pieces of them that always read like russian spy novels that was done on purpose to create a narrative to make the American People think as they were indicting these people, that somehow, this had to do with collusion between the Trump Campaign russia, and so what do i want about the Mueller Probe . I dont care whats in the Mueller Report matter of fact i call it the mueller dossier. Maria yeah. What i want is the information underlying the report so that we can actually look into it because every time we peel back the onion in this case, what do we find . We find out that somehow, higher level officials within the doj and fbi were misleading the American People and the courts. Maria yeah, well well keep watching that we want to find how far up the chain it goes in the Obama Department of justice and the obama administration, congressman well keep fighting looking for it thanks so much for joining us this morning. Thank you. Maria congressman devon nunes President Trump has asked democrats to work with him meanwhile on changing immigration laws at the crisis at the southern border intensifies will they, well talk to congresswoman alyssa sla tkin on the democratic side, next up.

Maria welcome back the trump adminitration reassigning as many as 750 immigration officers to some of the countrys busiest border crossings as the wait times for cars and commercial vehicles to cross into the u. S. Have soared to as many as 10 hours longer than usual this all comes on the heels of the president s visit to the u. S. Mexico border in california yesterday where he doubled down on the claim that our immigration system was over burdened. Lets bring in Michigan Democratic congresswoman Elissa Slotkin a member of the house arm services and Homeland Security committee and former senior petaluma official and former cia analyst the congresswomans first time on sunday morning futures and we welcome you to the program. Thanks for having me. Maria congratulations to you. Thank you. Maria we want to talk about the most busy time in our countrys history lets talk the border and its impact on National Security and the homeland how do you see it . Listen im a former cia officer so i spent my entire career trying to prevent homeland attacks, its an economic issue and a moral issue the shear numbers coming over right now youve got to call aspidia spayed it is extremely difficult to deal with and weve got to make sure that the Border Forces have what they need in order to protect people and deal with them in a humanitarian way, and that means weve got to surge people there. Maria how do you do that . Weve already in the Homeland Security committee weve authorized spending more to send Border Agents down there im from the northern border and some of those folks are being tasked to go down to the southern border, you just make sure they have the resources they need the bed space they need its a practical logistical situation theyve got down there maria do you find it odd its been so difficult for the president to get the money for the wall to get the support throughout the congress, to actually help him make a difference here . I think that the congress is all, you know, supportive of increasing Border Security and making sure we can process people through the border efficiently. I think that theres different definitions on how to do that, and for me, you just got to be clear eyed about it. If we need borders in some areas fencing in some areas do it but if you need drones in other areas do it. If you need Border Agents do it. Maria but youre not doing it so how do you, you know, answer your question. The issues from your colleagues like nancy pelosi who said a wall is immoral. Well i dont think a wall is immoral. I think that you just, we do this every day in the military, do an honest to god Needs Assessment of what you need and do it and i think thats gone on nd a in some areas you just dont need a physical wall. Even the president said you dont need a wall from sea to shining sea, so i dont think its an issue of people not wanting to help on the border. I do think its important to maintain a humanitarian stand and down there, so for me, thats ports of entry and putting customs and Border Agents down there where we need them. Maria now how do you think about coming up with the Real Solutions . You sound very practical and obviously answering the needs and the desires of the American People, and yet, you have a major pushback, not just from the right but from the left, from your own party, saying look , we dont want to look at the fact that this is really the numbers are soaring. We want to take President Trump down. Dont you think thats a lot of what this is about . Yeah, we have a responsibility to protect our country. Maria exactly. We have a responsibility to deal with immigrants in a responsible and humanitarian way , and we have a responsibility to make sure that our economy has the labor that it needs to function right . Ive got farmers in my office every day, from michigan, saying that i dont have the seasonal visas i need to actually staff my farm. So i think that its become so political that we cant have a clear eyed conversation and its because our immigration system is broken for everyone. Right . Its just a broken system. Therefore, when we selectively enforce it, it becomes a very political thing, so i do believe we need comprehensive Immigration Reform like the whole enchilada, and i think that its important that we have that conversation. Maria are you going to be able to have that conversation . Is your voice being heard amongst the cries to get Donald Trumps tax returns, to take him down, to this russian collusion dilution weve been dealing with for two years. What a waste of time for two years. To be honest with you i feel like theres two responsibilities for congress. Weve got to be able to walk and chew gum and walking is providing a check and balance on the executive branch that would go for any congress in any time with any president. Maria so far they havent done either walk or chew gum. Well i think theres certainly been a pretty significant change into providing a check and balance right . Im on the Homeland Security committee, so the secretary of Homeland Security, Kirstjen Nielsen came up in front of our committee and she had not been up there in just about a year to answer for some of the policies that shes imposed. That to me is providing a check and balance and that wasnt happening before. On the other side we have a responsibility to push affirmative legislation that helps peoples lives. That is our job. So youve got to be able to do both. Maria yeah so do you feel that your colleagues are doing both . Yeah, listen. Maria all im hearing is a lot of cries to get Donald Trumps tax returns and get him out because hes an agent of the russians, so i mean, im not hearing a lot. Im hearing a wall is immoral. Im hearing take this president down. Im not hearing a lot of what im hearing from you, so are you being heard . Yes, i mean. Maria you are . Yes, listen i put forward legislation this week, Bipartisan Legislation to try and close a loophole so that for instance foreigners cant buy ad s in our election system. Maria this is the bipartisan bill you would think that youd get full support on a bill thats going to block foreign entities from buying ads to influence the u. S. Election what has been the perception and the reception . Its been great and this week well be collecting cosigners and then push it through committee. We have cosponsors in the senate, so i think that there are things that are being done, but ill be honest, its the sort of far left and far right that are getting a lot of the media attention. Theres a lot of folks in the middle who are focused on doing something affirmative. Maria do you support things like the Green New Deal medicare for all . So for me im just from michigan. Were very pragmatic. Maria thats where our viewers are by the way. Were pragmatic people and i certainly understand the importance of dealing with Climate Change in a serious way, but i want to do something that actually passes. I want to do something that actually helps and to me by bringing in some of these other ideas about lets say universal healthcare or a job for every person, it makes it less likely were going to pass environmental legislation, not more likely, and i just want to get something done. Maria we like that a lot. Congresswoman its great to have you on the program. Thank you so much congresswoman slotkin joining us there, well see you soon and be watching your work. Straight ahead some of my exclusive sitdown interview with secretary of state mike pompeo, from our wide ranging discussion from china to the crisis at the border, plus congressman mark johnson is here , when should the committee expect to hear from attorney general william barr, hes testifying on tuesday, this upcoming week, as we look ahead on sunday morning futures back in a minute. With instant confirmation. I got it what . What . L. A. Bookers book apartments and vacation homes as easy as hotels. Ridin scooter l. A. Baby l. A. Baby be a booker youre welcome. At booking. Com maria welcome back friday on mornings with maria on the Fox Business Network i had an exclusive sit down with secretary of state mike pompeo the wide ranging interview touch ed on everything from china s ip theft to concerns about Telecom Giant huawei in the situation at our southern border. The ip theft issue is something weve spoken about before. How do you change something thats really ingrained in a countrys culture some do you think the u. S. Is going to be able to come up with some kind of an enforcement mechanism to put in place so that the chinese keep their promises of not steal ing from the west . Maria this is a challenge thats why the negotiations have taken as long as they have and why were not complete yet. President trump is for the first time called out china for this theft of intellectual property, hundreds of billions of u. S. Dollars stolen by the chinese over the past decades, President Trump is addressing it , the work thats being done is about this enforcement mechanism, what is it you do if they dont live up to the word within the chinese enter into deals before where they didnt follow through, and the mission that secretary mnuchin, ambassador lighthizer is to get this deal done in a way after the deal is done, American Companies counts on the fact they can do business in china without sub stab shall risk their ip will be stolen and if it is they will have a tool. Maria thats how the president has been using tariffs as the leverage. Yes, to get them to come to the table and take seriously, this fundamental obligation for engaging in commerce, with the American Business community and with american citizens. Maria and theres more to it. Were trying to do a deal with a country that is just absolutely the opposite of our culture. Right . When you look at the human rights abuses for example, in china talk to us a bit about this police state that they have created in terms of for example, rounding up chinese muslims. Theyre saying its for Vocational Training and yet there are officers with guns and barbed wire around these Vocational Training centers for muslims. Maria theres a long history of china not abiding by its constitution which says people can practice their faith and chinas own constitution and yet today they rounded up less to 1 million muslims, in one part of their country, trading them horribly they say their re education but they frankly wont let people into see whats truly going on there, very limit ed access to this. I met with four last week in my office, and one of them. Maria the survivors of the camp s or whatever . Some of them are survivors some have family members in those camps one of them, after our meeting, had his aunt and uncle rounded up and take epidemic to a camp in china. This is the kind of thing that they do, to impact his behavior, hes here in america, to impact his behavior here in america. Its unacceptable they need to let his aunt and uncle and his mother is in a camp as well and she needs to get her u. S. Passport back these human rights abuses are tragic, they are historic, and President Trump is taking on each of these challenges. Maria so is this part of the discussions in terms of this midterm trade deal . Whats the discussion with the chinese in terms of the broader issues, not necessarily a quid pro quo on the trade deal. So the trade deal has its own conversation, its own dialogue is taking place but its against the background of all these other broader issues, issues with chinas use of technology and ways that will fundamentally put americans at risk, the technology from huawei that is now being put in place, all across the world. Its a company thats very close to the Chinese Government and well do what the Chinese Government asks it to do and so we have sounded the alarm urging nations Security Apparatus from around the world not to put this technology and the challenges with china were approaching each of them. Sometimes, in separate silos but often as part of a broader conversation with china asking them to engage in trade and conduct and human rights activities, that are consistent with the values americans hold dear. Maria when you came back from your europe trip which was really an important trip when you were in pole and we talked about this and how you were getting pushback from the european nations you broke news on this program when you said look we will be forced to share less information with those countries, that are using huawei telecom. Whats your take on what italy has done, citing a memorandum of understanding with china. I understand that may not include technology and telecom . Whats your take on chinas relationship with italy . It was with the Italian Foreign ministry yesterday in town for the celebration of nato s 70th anniversary and we had a conversation about this. I think each of the European Countries including italy is working its way through this problem set. I think they now have become aware of the risk to their own people. That only directly from the technology but the risk that america wont be able to work as closely with them something they often count on and depend upon. I think what well see is well see European Countries begin to take this threat very seriously, and i think well make Real Progress of protecting citizens around the world from the threat of chinese surveillance, Chinese Technology inside of these networks. Maria look the world wants to get into china we know that, 1. 4 billion people they want a chance to sell to those consumer s, but there are reallies beings here, so is that understanding, that partnership between italy and china does that exclude telecom . Does that exclude technology . So i dont know the details of whats in their agreement but it is the case. We want to trade with china too i want americans to thrive and flourish and engage in commerce. We have deep economic relationships with them that are of real value to American Consumers this is what President Trumps trade negotiations are about. He wants that to be fair. He wants that to be reciprocal and wants American Businesses to have a fair shake when we deal with china, not have to worry that if they do a deal, theyre going to give up the seed corn of their business. Maria let me ask you about the border because the president is planning to cut hundreds of millions of dollars in aid to these three Central American countries in retaliation for what hes calling their lack of help in cutting the flow of migrants to the u. S. Border. Whats your take on this . El salvador, guatemala, honduras already very weak countries, foreign assistance programs are critical for them. Is this going to work is this another threat or how significant is this . Maria, many of the illegal crossers today, those who are coming across our border illegally today are coming from the three northern triangle countries, guatemala, honduras and el salvador. Weve been working with those countries state department, dhs work with those countriess are they willing to help us, are they willing to stop people from leaving the country and we gave them hundreds of millions of dollars over the past years to create the capacity to do so and they have not demonstrated the willingness to actually engage in stopping these caravans from coming across their border. Our mission, by telling them that this aid will be condition ed on the change in their behaviors to convince them they ought to have the will and they need to try and work at it well work with them to buildout their capacity to do so, but we have not yet seen enough demonstration of their commitment to actually preventing these folks from crossing into mexico and making this dangerous treck across mexico and then coming into the United States. Maria well the president is using every leverage point that he can and i get that. Hes talking now about tariffs on cars coming out of mexico but does that contradict what the u. S. Mca deal . We had senator capito here earlier, and she said look, im going to support this deal but i know that a lot of democrats have come on this program and said were not going to support now the president is talking about new tariffs on cars coming out of mexico. We are trying to create the conditions at the border that will keep americans safe that will reassert american sovereignty along our southern border and the president is using every tool in his kit and also trying to convince congress to take this threat seriously. Were now seeing members of congress from both sides of the aisle acknowledge the crisis, acknowledge that were now in the thousands of people coming across that border each day, with narcotics and trafficking and persons also coming acrosstheboarder. What we need, congress once they recognize there is a crisis we need them to change. These are simple changes to the law they could do them today. They need to move its time. This crisis the American People arent going to stand for this and President Trump is using every tool in his kit to try and change the incentive change the behavior so we can reduce the risk here in the United States. Maria he sure is and the president is also using the tariffs threat quite effectively with the chinese. Do you expect that the president will likely lead those tariffs in place that are currently there for china . I think hes hoping when he gets is a real deal, an enforceable deal along not just the amount of trade to make that fair and reciprocal and important component but also to protect from illegal theft of intellectual property, technology, transfer that is forced, if he gets that size of deal im confident the president will say thats fair. Our tariffs are equal, were operating in a reciprocal trading arrangement, lets go and compete and have a great relationship commercially between our two countries. Maria my thanks to secretary of state mike pompeo, lawmakers on tuesday are getting their first chance to grill attorney general william barr about his summary of the budget, but Mueller Report questions will come up as well. Of course clearing the president of collusion what can we expect from that testimony, come tuesday . Ill talk with congressman mike johnson on that right here next. Of softserve ice cream .

Maria welcome back attorney general william barr expected to face questions about his letter summarizing the Mueller Report during his congressional testimony that is scheduled for this upcoming tuesday this as democrats on the House Judiciary Committee vote to subpoena the actual full report, along with the underlying evidence that goes along with it joining me right now is a member of that committee, republican congressman from louisiana mike johnson hes also a former constitutional law attorney sir it is an honor to have you thanks so much for talking to us you are getting set for this testimony of william barr on tuesday, this is supposed to focus on the budget, right . It is. The House Judiciary Committee has oversight over doj and this is a regular thing that the ag does, comes and talks about the budget but i fear that this meeting may turn into a circus. Our democratic colleagues, as youve seen over the last several weeks are really on a terror. They really want to dig into attorney general barr and theyre not giving to him i think the respect that is due. The subpoena that they voted to release at our meeting last week was completely unnecessary. I mean, maria, you know the attorney general has said that hes working diligently to release the Mueller Report. The house voted 4200 to release that, but our understanding the republican side is that that would be done within the bounds of the law. Thats the attorney generals responsibility. I think hes doing that diligently and i hope that democrats on the House Judiciary Committee will allow him him to do just that. Maria lets talk about that what is in the bounds of the law youre a former constitutional lawyer. Tell us about the law as it relates to grand jury testimony. Yeah, theres the federal rules of criminal procedure are very specific about this, this is part of the rule of law in this country is that we dont release grand jury matters, its very Sensitive Information for all of the obvious reasons. Now there are exceptions to that but you have to go to a federal court and convince a judge that certain portions of grand jury material is subject for release. The House Judiciary Committee under chairman nadler have decided to bypass all that and in a Straight Party line vote last week in our meeting they decided to issue a subpoena to attorney general barr to release everything all of the underlying information and everything else. We think thats a big mistake and at the end of the day maria the problem here, well look, theyve weaponized the oversight responsibility of congress. This is for pure partisan politics, and its a pandoras box i think we should not be opening. Maria honestly congressman i think the American People are sick and tired of hearing politicized, weaponized our agencies that we have so much trust in or had such trust in stay with us congressman were taking a short break i want to talk more about this issue and what youre expecting in this upcoming week, congressman mike johnson when we come back. Im off to college. Im worried about my parents retirement. Dont worry. Voya helps them to and through retirement. Dealing with todays expenses. While helping plan, invest and protect for the future. So theyll be okay . I think theyll be fine. Voya. Helping you to and through retirement. Maria and were back with congressman mike johnson and congressman i dont know how this is going to go down in 202o much pushback of this president , they wanted the Mueller Report done, they got it, no collusion, and yet were still talking about releasing the whole report so that they can hang on to this idea for dear life, all the while coming up with really not a lot in the way of proposals for the American People. You were the chairman of the Republican Study Committee, the laurest caucus of conservatives in congress and your group came out with a report on the Green New Deal. This is a 13page pretty much takedown of the Green New Deal. Tell us about your response to alexandria ocasiocortezs proposal . Well, its absurd and i think most everyone recognizes that now, at the Republican Study Committee, we do a deep dive on these issues and we put staff in some of our smartest members on this and we produce a 13page report to combat the 14 page Green New Deal and the findings are just extraordinary. If you look at the estimates of what this would cost the American People, its somewhere in the negotiating of between 90 and 95 trillion, and of course they would want to end air travel, and most of our vehicles , and all the rest. Its just absurd, and the sad thing is, maria, were in a Political Climate where you have leading democrats people who want to run for the presidency of the United States who sign on to these absurd ideas, we have got to get back to facts and realistic truth and thats what were trying to do. Maria and thats just one of other proposals that really create a bigger government, overall federal programs to control more and more peoples lives like medicare for all. Yeah, completely proposal and i think most people who are honest will tell you that it would never work. Thats the problem that we have. Theres two competing philosoph ies right now. We believe in individual freedom and limited government and the rule of law and peace through strength and fiscal responsibility. Some of these ideas that are getting lost in the political debate right now and weve got to remind the American People that those are the ideals that made america great, and we have to preserve those if were going to continue this Great Republic the greatest nation in the history of the world we cant abandon it to these crazy ideas of socialism, socialism is an evil, it has been responsible for the death of tens of million s of people. And its root all of those things are not american, and we have to take every opportunity we have to remind the American People of who we are, and why we truly are the great nation that we are and the rsv, the Republican Study Committee our members are excited about that debate. Maria all the while, they want to just keep fighting trump about collusion. Its just extraordinary congressman good to see you this morning thanks for joining us well see you soon and thank you for joining us on sunday morning futures im Maria Bartiromo im see you tomorrow morning at 6 00 a. M. On the Fox Business Network u findings are far more negative more President Trump. You get to tell me it isnt as exciting as Congressional Republicans would have you believed, really . Who could have seen this coming. Mischaracterized the line from robert mueller, we would have heard its not true. Now believe that the figure, in
