Chris paul ryan, only on Fox News Sunday. Then, terror strikes new york city again. Do you want them sent to gtmo . I would consider that. Chris senator Lindsey Graham accuses the white house of going soft. I hope President Trump will break the cycle of turning the war into crime by declaring him an enemy combatant. Chris a Fox News Sunday exclusive. Plus our sunday panel on terror, russia and taxes. And our power players of the week, mark cuban. I was the crazy guy that just screamed at the referee at the Dallas Mavericks game. Chris all right all right n Fox News Sunday. Chris and hello again from fox news in washington. President trump is two days into the longest and most crucial diplomatic trip of his presidency. Hes meeting with allies in asia trying to rally support against a Nuclear Armed north korea, while back here in washington he leaves behind a fight over tax reform, indictments and the russia investigation, and harsh words for his own Justice Department. We begin with chief White House Correspondent john roberts, who was traveling with the president in japan. With tensions over north Koreas Nuclear program building, President Trump shows a show of force in his First Official event of this asia trip talking to american troops at an air force base just west of tokyo. No one, no dictator, no regime, and no nation, should underestimate ever american resolve. The president will spend 11 days in the region, visiting five countries, japan, south korea, china, vietnam, and the philippines. Top of the agenda, how to put more pressure on north korea to drop its Nuclear Weapons program, and the nagging trade deficits the u. S. As with all five nations. We wills stomach seek three, fair, and reciprocal trade. But before the heavy lifting and security and trade talks begin he joined japanese Prime Minister for lunch and an afternoon of golf for the 2020 olympics event. President trump and the Prime Minister also signed tax for each other that red donald and shinzo make Alliance Even greater. The president said theres a lot to get done, not much, much time to do it. In the midst of having very major discussions on many issues, including north korea and trade. On his way to japan, President Trump indicated that he will likely meet with russian president Vladimir Putin on the sidelines of the conference this coming week in vietnam. And not on the agenda, a trip to the Demilitarized Zone when he visits south korea beginning on tuesday. The president did indicate he will likely redesignate north korea as the state sponsor of terror sometime later in this trip. Chris john roberts reporting from tokyo. Thanks for that. Now to the sweeping republican tax plan, which would cut rates for corporations and individuals, but would end some key deductions. On friday, i sat down with the speaker of the house, paul ryan, to discuss the tax plan, and much more. Welcome back to Fox News Sunday. Thanks for having me. Chris lets start with the prospects for the tax plan. You want the house to pass it by thanksgiving, which is less than three weeks away. You also say they are coming after us, the lobbyists and special interests, so how certain are you at the house will meet the thanksgiving deadline . Speaker ryan i feel very good about it. Our members are very excited about this, we are pleased with what we rolled out and this is what we said we would do when we ran for office in 2016. We have to have tax reform, we have to have tax cuts so people in the middle, this delivers that. This will help get our economy growing and reach its potential. You have to do this in order to do that, and thats why we want to get it done this year, so we can have a very good 2018 and get Stronger Economic growth. Yes, we are on track for moving this through the house before thanks giving, thats our plan. We expect our friends in the senate to be about a week behind us. Chris lets talk about the senate, because the house passed Obamacare Repeal and replace, you may remember, and it died in the senate. How worried are you, with all of the complicated rules about budget reconciliation, that the same thing could happen with doctor from . Speaker ryan completely legitimate question, we feel very good and we did things differently this time because of the health care experience. We passed the health care back in may and the senate just couldnt get it on. What we did this time differently was we work with the senate ahead of time from the summer on to put this bill together together, to basically create a framework of this bill and launch this thing together, and be very coordinated. Not a budget rules, the budget that we passed in the house and the senate paved the way for this to get done and get through the senate, and this is in conforming to those rules. The Lesson Learned was coordinate with the senate and move together. Chris people saying hes going to pass his own bills. Speaker ryan thoughts within the framework. Thats the key here. We basically decided the big ticket items, the 25 corporate rate, 25 pass through businesses, the middleclass tax cuts. All of those things are things we agree on, so they are written within those details. Thats why both of them will be fairly narrow. Chris a month ago you promised that tax reform would be revenueneutral. Your words. But the ability of just announced. Speaker ryan i said deficitneutral. If thats the way our budget rules work. Let me get you right there, you will say this is a 1. 5 trillion tax cut, we are convinced this will give us faster Economic Growth. Chris let me ask the question, then you can answer. In january, when the new house, the new republican senate, the new republican president were just getting started, you said this. We are fiscal conservatives. What that means is we believe governments should not live beyond its means. We need to get our fiscal house in order to protect the deficit. Chris what happened to paul ryan, the deficit hawk . Speaker Ryan Paul Ryan is a deficit hawk, more jobs, big or takehome pay, that means higher tax revenue. Chris your market is 1. 5 trillion added to the deficit. Speaker ryan the reason we did it that way is because we believe that the senate wont let us use a what we call dynamic scoring. The figures are growth. We did not want to leave the chance that some bureaucrat, unelected, would deny our ability to bring a tax bill through that is progrowth and reflects the estimates. Thats why its done that way. We are absolutely convinced, and we will have Economic Growth that will show this, that this will help grow the economy. I wish obamacare would have passed, which would have been good fiscal responsibility. It didnt pass the senate, it passed the house, so we will just keep going at reform all the way down the road, but we will make sure that we actually get this economy growing, and this tax reform bill does that. Chris let me ask you about obamacare, because some republicans are saying that as part of tax reform, there is a discussion about repealing the obamacare individual mandate, which would save about 400 billion. Take it away from the deficit. Is that of the table . Speaker ryan we had a conversation with our members on a whole host of ideas with things to add to this bill and thats one of the things being discussed. Chris you say its being discussed, so theres a possibility house could pass the tax form doing away with the speaker ryan what we can do to add to this bill to make it even better. Thats among the ideas that a lot of members are suggesting that we could add to make it even better. Chris its on the table for this tax reform bill . Speaker ryan its one of the things that people have been suggesting, thats what im saying. Chris does then then theres the question, who benefits . Chuck schumer said this. To pay for all the tax giveaways and the bill, republicans are likely to make it worse for the middle class. Not just not help them, but hurt them. Slash middle class it would hurt so middleclass taxpayers. Chris schumer says that you take away 70 of the state and local deductions, and he points out that onethird of taxpayers claim that. He says you are taking away almost three quarters of the value. Speaker ryan heres what were doing. If you see this postcard . This is the kind of tax form that 9 out of 10 taxpayers will be able to use. Right now about 70 dont itemize. By doubling the standard deduction where making it so people dont have to itemize their deductions. So instead of having the first 12,000 that you dont pay taxes on, it will be the first 24,000 for a couple that you dont pay tax on. The difference here is we are basically saying instead of using a Tax Deduction to lower your tax rate, your tax liability, we will make it easier to not pay taxes on the first base. This is a clear middleclass tax cuts, no two ways about it, even for people in those high tax states. Chris lets talk about it being a middleclass tax cut, which you say, the president says. Lets talk about fairness. People will no longer be able to deduct medical expenses, or interest on their student loans. As weve said, they will lose the deduction for what they pay in state and local income taxes under your plan. But wealthy people will no longer pay any tax on estates worth millions. Question, is that fair . Speaker ryan heres whats fair, clean out the special interest loopholes in the tax bill and let people keep their money in the first place. Heres the discussion here. You just mentioned a couple of things that are good, that are valuable. Paying student loans, your medical expenses. If what were doing here by raising the standard deduction and wing peoples rates, we are saying you do what you want with your money because its your money, instead of using the deduction to get some kind of a tax break based on this behavior, its your money, do what you want with it. Chris youre making it sound like its a deal, but if i have a student loan and ive been able to deduct if im able to deduct the interest rate, now im losing that. If i have huge medical expenses speaker ryan in exchange for a tax cut. You be to keep your money more in the first place so you can decide what to do with their money. Thats the point im trying to make. Chris why repeal the estate tax . We are only talk about 5,000 people your. If theres already an 11 billion exemption. Speaker ryan i would say two things, first of all its a fairness argument. You actually create jobs. What kills one family from passing their business onto another generation is the estate tax. We believe that this is a fairness argument. People work hard to build up their business, their farm, the ranch, all of their working life. They pay taxes on that money all their lives and then when you die you get it taxed away from you and you cant pass it onto the next generation. We just think its unfair. That should not be a taxable event, and we should not be able to stop people from passing on their lights work to their kids. Chris i want to ask you briefly about the russian investigation. At the special Counsel Robert Mueller has charged two tapped from Campaign Officials with various misconduct, one guilty plea by a campaign associate for lying to the fbi. Some republicans are arguing the president should buy a Robert Mueller in fact several members of your own caucus have filed a resolution calling for him to step down, some are saying congress should cut off his funding varied will you pledge that you will not allow the Mueller Investigation to be curbed or stopped . Speaker ryan ive said all along we need to let these career professionals do their job, see it through, so i dont think he should be stepping down, i dont think you should be fired and the president has made clear hes not going to do that. So no, we will not interfere with this investigation, it will take its course and we will let it take its course. We are also doing her own investigations here in the house, and the senate has one as well come into russia and into russias meddling in our campaign. These russia investigations will take their course. If we need to find out exactly what they did to our country, how and why they didnt, and then how do we prevent them from doing it in the future and let these career professionals at the changes do their job. What about the revelations over the last few weeks about Hillary Clinton, her campaign helped camp dome i pay for the socalled russia dossier. At the revelation just yesterday that the dnc, in effect, made a deal with Hillary Clinton that she could control speaker ryan the first part of your question, the dossier. If we were discovering that as well through our investigation the fbi has finally been releasing those documents so we could get to the bottom of that. That is part of this russia investigation. The second thing, that story just broke. Ive never seen anything like that. If we all said the clintons thought they lived above the rules, but this takes the cake. This is pretty amazing. For them to basically be running the dnc in a primary, to see such a deck stacked is really pretty jawdropping to me. No wonder the democrats are ticked off. I would be too. Its amazing how the clintons just lived above the law, about the rules in this thing. I understand why democrats are mad about this, they should be about about this. I dont think ive ever seen anything like this, frankly. Chris is there any legislative remedy . Speaker ryan i dont know that theres a legislative remedy on how parties conduct themselves and how theyre supposed to be neutral in primaries. Whether they broke Campaign Finance laws should be something that the federal Elections Committee should have a look into, but we dont legally regulate how the parties set up their bylaws. But to have a primary one of the primary participants stacking the deck and running the party, ive never heard of that before. That just takes the cake in my mind. Its amazing. Chris mr. Speaker, thank you. Speaker ryan you bet, thank you. Chris when we come back, more on that bombshell from former Democratic Party chair Donna Brazile about Hillary Clintons control of the dnc in 2016. We will bring in our sunday panel to discuss whether the partys primaries were. Plus, what would you like to ask the panel about the republican tax plan . Just go to facebook or twitter, foxnewssunday, and we may use your question on the air. Ng well jd power did just rank them highest in Investor Satisfaction with full Service Brokerage firms. Again. And online equity trades are only 4. 95. I mean you cant have low cost and be full service. Its impossible. Its like having your cake and eating it too. Ask your broker if they offer awardwinning full service and low costs. How am i going to explain this . If you dont like their answer, ask again at schwab. Schwab, a modern approach to wealth management. Listen up, heart disease. You too, unnecessary er visits. And hey, unmanaged depression, dont get too comfortable. Were talking to you, cost inefficiencies, and data without insights. And fragmented care, stop getting in the way of patient recovery and pay attention. Every single one of you is on our list. At optum, were partnering across the Health System to tackle its biggest challenges. At optum, were partnering across the Health System what if we could keep more amof what we earn . D. Trillions of dollars going back to taxpayers. Who could possibly be against that . Well, the National Debt is 20 trillion. As we keep adding to it, guess who pays the bill . Him. And her. And her. Congress, we should grow the economy. Not the debt. We are giving them a big, beautiful Christmas Present in the form of a tremendous tax cut. Republican tax plan would put two thumbs down on a scale already tipped towards the wealthy and powerful. Chris President Trump and Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer with very different views of the new republican tax plan. A time now for our sunday group, g. O. P. Strategist karl rove. A columnist for the hill, juan williams. Rachael bade, who covers politics for politico. And jason riley from the wall street journal. If rachel, as our congress watcher on this panel, i want to ask you about the tax plan, what you think of the prospects for the plan, what do you is the biggest challenge the republicans face getting it through, and to follow up on the discussion i had with speaker ryan, what about this idea of adding repealing, killing the individual mandate of obamacare is part of the tax reform . I think the prospects are pretty good at this point in time. Republicans, after failing to repeal obamacare, they are feeling the pressure that they really have to deliver on tax reform. I think i saw something this week on the help that bodes well for the plan, that is the rollout went very fairly smoothly. Within two or three hours we knew it was in some trouble because conservative groups started piling on, calling it obamacare light, and they havent recovered from that. The bill died. This time we saw the conservative groups come out and applaud the plan, say they like it, and that puts pressure on the House Republicans that are often divided and fighting about specifics on legislation, to actually get this done. Chris what about this idea of killing the individual mandate as part of tax reform . Is not going to help, or is not going to make it even more divided . Speaker paul ryan, you just interviewed, he kind of sidestepped that a little bit. Turns out he thinks its going to complicate the bill. It would for this privately. Very reluctant to mix health care and taxes because taxes are already complicated enough. When you add a repeal of the individual mandate and makes it harder. However, senator cotton is really pushing this in the senate. Hes close with President Trump and my understanding is he took this to the president and got him on board and President Trump obviously tweeted about this this week. That puts pressure on speaker ryan and kevin brady to actually consider this. So right now they are not panning it out right publicly, they dont like it privately. If we will have to see where it goes. Chris we ask you for questions for the panel, and someone called hopeful skeptic, which is i think a good name. Why are we cutting taxes with the deficit, where the cuts going to come from . Funding for disaster relief, increased military, infrastructure. How do you answer hopeful skeptic, and what do you think, that going to try to finance this spending cuts, or were they just add to the National Debt . Speaker ryan said to you this is about Economic Growth and thats how you are ultimately going to handle these deficits. You are going have to grow the economy, and that is what this plan is designed to do. On the corporate side it would do that, as we see in the house proposal. If Something Like 2 trillion sitting overseas, lowering the rate of 20 will bring a lot of that money back here. It could be invested in companies here, more hiring, higher wages. Weve all seen that Unemployment Rate come down, but wages have not been growing like they should be. For tax cut can get the ball rolling. If thats ultimately what you will do. The problem for me is on the individual rate side. Tax credits complicate the code, they are expensive, they do nothing for growth, and you have some senators like mike lee of utah and senator rubio of florida who want to put these credits in. They think its good politics, but frankly, if you want to use if a voter is interested in using the tax code to review straight of it wealth, they will vote for democrats because thats what they specialize in doing. I think paul ryan wants to focus on growing the economy and thats what i think this would accomplish, at least when it comes to Corporate Tax. Chris lets turn, if we can, to the democrats. We can, because im running the panel here, so there you go. Lets turn to the democrats enter the bombshell revelation and Donna Braziles new book that the Clinton Campaign signed a deal with the dnc in 2015 that in return for fundraising, the party gave the Clinton Campaign considerable control over staff and strategy. This put President Trump and Elizabeth Warren in rare agreement, take a look. You want to look at Hillary Clinton and you want to look at the new book that was just put out by Donna Brazile where she basically bought the dnc and she stole the election from burning. Do you agree with the notion that it was raked . Yes. Chris the clinton camp fires back, they say this was a deal that was made not for the primaries, but for the general election, it was a way to raise money for the Democratic Party that Bernie Sanders could have made the same deal. Do you buy a . Baloney. Complete and utter baloney. These joint fundraiser agreements are a norman president ial campaigns. But theyre generally consist of very simple provisions. We will let you use the parties mailing list and donor list for fundraising purposes, and in return we get access to your donors after you finish the primary campaign. This gave in writing control or finance, strategy, operations and staffing of the Democratic National committee to the Clinton Campaign. It explicitly says we get to name the communications director, weve given your two names, you pick from those names. Any vacancies in communications, tech and research, you will come to us and we have control over your budget. Anyone who has control over your budget has control over your operations and anybody who has control over who you staff in the committee has control over how that committee goes. Chris so this was raked . This was raked. Its jawdropping really amazing that in the fall of 2015 2015 e Democratic NationalCommittee Signs this agreement and then for the next until that convention in the summer of 2016, the Democratic National chairman says we are being neutral in this. This was a document that surrendered the control of the National Committee to the clinton hierarchy in brooklyn. Its astonishing. Chris we should point out in terms of timing that the time this was signed, the primary battle with Bernie Sanders hadnt even begun and joe biden was still considering running, which brings up another point i want to ask you about, juan. 9 11, 2016. You can see Hillary Clinton, this is where she fainted because of pneumonia, leaving the event, the ceremony at ground zero and Donna Purcell says in her book when she saw that, plus all the problems she had with the Clinton Campaign, that she thought of getting the dnc to begin a process to replace Hillary Clinton and tim kaine on the National Ticket with joe biden and cory booker. First of all, what to make of that revelation, and you and i know Donna Brazile, with an order for years, she is a sharp, strong, tough democratic operative, why do you think she is saying this . I think this is what happened to her. She was essentially pushed aside by the clinton operation, and i think she feels disrespected by the clinton operation to that extent, because when she comes and its very apparent to her as we just heard, they have bailed out a financially ailing Democratic Party. President obama had created organizing for america, hes taking money away. There wasnt really a fundraising energy there. Donna comes in in a rescue operation and finds guess what, this is being run out of brooklyn. I dont have that power so i think that she has felt and she always felt some wise guys on the democratic side who run the Democratic Party, they dont listen to her. They dont have value for people like her. Chris this is what she says in her book, and Conference Calls with democratic Clinton Campaign operatives who were treating me like one of the slaves in 12 years a slave. Thats how she felt. Let me just finish this point. Theres a civil war among democrats going on. The rift between the hillary people in the burning people, the Elizabeth Warren people has never healed. We know about a rift among the republicans with george hw and george w. Bush going after trauma. But what we have going on for the democrats as they have been unable to capitalize on the tremendous antitrumped fervor because they havent been able to somehow heal the rift in their own party. Chris and i think we would all agree that Donna Brazils book pours a lot of salt on an open wound. If take a break here, we will see you a little later in the program. Up next President Trump takes on his own Justice Department from demands to investigate Hillary Clinton, the calls for the Death Penalty in the new york terror case, as the president crossing the line . We will ask senator Lindsey Graham next. Thats moving companies forward fast. Ecommerce. Real time inventory. Virtual changing rooms. Thats why retailers rely on comcast business to deliver consistent Network Speed across multiple locations. Every corporate office, warehouse and store near or far covered. Leaving every competitor, threat and challenge outmaneuvered. Comcast business outmaneuver. Did yon the National Debt . Ssman get elected by talking tough will they stay true to their words . Or did they promise you one thing. Only to do another . Right now, congress is talking about tax cuts that will add trillions to our National Debt and hurt our economy. Its time to tell congress. Dont borrow more money from china. And leave more debt to our kids. Keep your word. Tax cuts shouldnt add to the National Debt. Chris coming up, senator Lindsey Graham urges the president to get tough on terrorists in the wake of the attack in new york, new york. The last thing i want this guy to hear tonights you have the right to a lawyer. If the last thing he should here is his miranda rights. Chris we will talk with senator graham weve paid a big price for Chris Christie and kim guadagno. They gave out billions in Corporate Tax breaks. Millions to whitewash the bridgegate scandal. Millions more wasted on empty office space. We got stuck with the bill. Property taxes up. Train and bus fares up. College tuition up. Womens healthcare funding eliminated with christie and guadagno were paying more and falling behind. Four more years of kim guadagno is unaffordable. Chris senator Lindsey Graham was one of President Trumps biggest critics earlier this year. Now that you are finding Common Ground on everything from health care to taxes. Still, after this weeks terror attack in new york city, the senator called out the president for following the obama playbook. If senator graham joins us now from south carolina. Senator, i want to start with twos error suspects. Sayfullo saipov has been charged on the attack in new york city this week that killed eight people. Mustafa has been charged on the attack on the u. S. Consulate in benghazi. In both cases they were charged in civilian criminal court, nott as enemy combatants. You said in reaction to that, loretta lynch, obamas attorney general never left. Is this president and his administration, are they too soft on terror cases . I think the president has the right attitude on terror, i complement them for taking the gloves off when it comes to our military, but clearly the Trump Administration is doing exactly what the Obama Administration did. Its hard to catch a terrorist a life and when you do what you should try to gather intelligence. I dont mind trying this guy in new york court, the new york terrorist, but i want him to do is hold him for a long period of time, let a military cia interrogate him about what he knows about terrorism, how we got radicalized. He said he was a soldier of the caliphate. Isis said he was a soldier of the caliphate. If we talk to them for one day in the hospital, we read him his miranda rights, we put him right in court and we can get any intelligence Going Forward because now he has been lawyered up and thats exactly what obama did. When it comes to trumped policy, they are using obamas playbook and they got a lot of the obama people hold over and i want to see that change. Chris how do you explain that, this is a president who has talked tough on terror, this is his own Justice Department. How do you explain the fact that there are, as you say, doing the same thing, which is not taking his people into the enemy combatant for interrogation, but putting them immediately in the Justice System and allowing them to lawyer up. Senator graham woefully unprepared for this moment. About their legal reasoning, it made me so mad i could not see straight. They said the reason they didnt declare the new york eye and enemy combatant even though he pledged allegiance to isis, they said he was one of their soldiers. He killed eight people in the name of radical islam, showing support for isis. Theres no evidence. If thats ridiculous. If they are recruiting in cyberspace, they are trying to radicalize people in our own backyard. If what makes you enemy combatants is when you adopt radical islam philosophy and you act on it. When you kill in the name of isis, you are a soldier of the caliphate. The guy coming back from libya was one of the masterminds behind the benghazi attack and under the Obama Administration, they interrogated him while he was on the ship before they put him in vertical court. The Trump Administration took this man from libya, captured by a military and sent him right into federal Court Without any efforts to gather intelligence and he was one of the masterminds of the benghazi attack. This is ridiculous, it makes us less safe and it needs to change. Chris you say woefully unprepared. Who do you hold responsible . Senator graham i know Jeff Sessions agrees with me in philosophy, but its clear to me the department of defense and the department of justice have not coordinated how to handle a terror suspect. When we cant capture one of the soldiers of the caliphate alive, its a tremendous opportunity to understand how the enemy operates, what they know, how they got radicalized. We should have long conversations. They were not prepared for this moment, there are no protocols but the department of justice and the department of defense, changing obama policy. They are doing exactly what obama did and i am urging this department of justice and defense to come up with new protocols to hold terror suspects, soldiers of the caliphate, people who kill our ambassador as enemy combatants in the future. Chris meanwhile, President Trump is urging his Justice Department, and the fbi, to investigate Hillary Clinton and the democrats. Anything from the uranium deal to the russia dossier, emails. Her arrangement that we just talked about with the dnc, heres the president. They should be looking at the democrats, they should be looking at podesta and all of that dishonesty. They should be looking at a lot of things and a lot of people are disappointed in the Justice Department, including me. Chris senator, is the president crossing the line when he encourages, almost directs his Justice Department and the fbi to investigate and perhaps prosecute his political opponents . Senator graham yes. Its my idea that President Trump is the commanderinchief should be focusing on his department of justice, his department of defense, to make sure that if we ever capture somebody who is involved in the benghazi attack, that would dont ship them across the seas and put him in federal Court Without first interrogating him. I can only imagine how much intelligence could be gathered from one of the masterminds of the benghazi attack. Rather than direct his department of justice to go after Hillary Clinton, i wish he would direct his department of justice to come up with policies for terror suspects. Chris why do think its wrong for him to be pushing the Justice Department and fbi to go after Hillary Clinton . Thats just not the way we do it in america. Heres what i do believe needs to happen. I think we need a special counsel to investigate the fusion gps episode between the Democratic Party, mr. Steele and russian operatives. I think we need a special counsel to investigate the uranium one episode where thousands of dollars were given to the Clinton Global Fund and former president bill clinton from groups tied to russia. We need a special counsel because mueller cant do this. Chris when you say thats not the way we do it in america, go after political opponents through the Justice System, explain. Senator graham the president of the United States is in charge of the executive branch. Its not his job to be telling the attorney general to prosecute a particular individual or group. If the attorney generals job to do that independent. We have a rule of law that is independent of political influence and when you call on the attorney general to prosecute your former opponent, that is crossing the line. Heres what i would say about russia, massive involvement in our election. The idea that the Democratic Party would pay millions of dollars to a Foreign Agent to go to russia to gather dirt on President Trump, thencandidate trump, allows the Democratic Party to be manipulated by russian operatives inside of russia. I want to get to the bottom of fusion gps. Im really worried about what happened with uranium one deal because there was a woman in clintons orbit there in terms of Campaign Financing fundraising that was sent out of the country, a suspected russian spy. That needs to be looked at as much is the Trump Campaign. Chris who was that . Senator graham i cant remember her name but he was associated with a big fundraiser for clinton, she was expelled from the country as being a russian spy, and everything about fusion gps stinks. The idea that the Democratic Party would hire a law firm, a foreign intelligence officer, go to russia and try to gather dirt means that theyve set themselves up to be manipulated by the russians. The idea that the russians didnt know that mr. Steel was in town looking for dirt on donald trump is zero impossible. If i cant believe that they didnt know so youre setting yourself up to be manipulated by the russians and to me thats a terrible thing to do. Chris finally, i want to ask you about attorney general Jeff Sessions and the statements hes made repeatedly to congress that he knew nothing of any contacts between the Trump Campaign, trump world and associates. Heres an example. You ever overhear a conversation between you and anybody on the campaign we talked about meeting with the russians . I have not seen anything that would indicate a collusion with russians to impact the campaign. Chris i just want to correct you were asking about Trump Campaign in the russians, but we now know that carter page has testified before congress that he told sessions he was going to russia during the campaign and another advisor, george papadopoulos, who pleaded guilty to lying to the fbi, says he told both sessions and candidate trump in this meeting in 2016 about his contacts with the russians. Question, do you believe that sessions needs to come back before congress and correct the record on his testimony . Senator graham this is getting a bit old with Jeff Sessions. I like them a lot, he is a dear friend. I think is very qualified for the job, but i ask a question, did anybody ever talk to you about talking to the russians, i didnt ask about collusion. We now know that somebody at a meeting, mr. Papadopolous, raise the idea of meeting with putin. Theres nothing wrong with the trump meeting with putin if he wanted to. If it would be wrong to have the russians help the Trump Campaign, or Hillary Clintons campaign. Heres what nobody talks about, the russians manipulated comey in getting involved into the election. It was russian information that comey used to jump in the middle of the 2016 election, not a meeting between lynch and president clinton on the tarmac. But when it comes to Jeff Sessions, you need to tell us everything you know about russia, so he probably should come back and answer the question yet again, did you know anything about an effort by the Trump Campaign to meet with russia, not just collude with russia . Chris i got 30 seconds, final question. Do you still have full confidence in Jeff Sessions as attorney general . Senator graham i have confidence in jeff that he can adjust his policies, but if we dont adjust our policies in the department of justice regarding how to handle terror suspects and soldiers of the caliphate, i will lose that confidence. We missed two opportunities to hold to terrorists as enemy combatants to gather valuable intelligence about the war on terror, and we blew it, and i hold the people at the department of justice and department of defense accountable to that. Chris senator graham, thank you, thanks for your time, always good to talk with you. Up next special Counsel Robert Muellers russia probe starts with two indictments and one guilty plea. We will ask our sunday panel whose next . After 8 years of Chris Christie, is kim guadagno the change new jersey really needs . Guadagno is christies handpicked successor. Says shes proud to be part of the christie administration. Guadagno was Chris Christies right hand as our schools came under attack, Critical Services were underfunded, and our Credit Rating was downgraded. 11 times. From the bridge to the beach, weve seen it all, and weve had enough. Kim guadagno isnt the change we need. Kim guadagno isnt i am not supposed to be a involved with the Justice Department. Im not supposed to be involved with the fbi. Im not supposed to be doing the kind of things i would love to be doing and im very frustrate frustrated. Chris President Trump making it clear hes not satisfied with the way his prosecutors and investigators are doing their jobs, and we are back now with the panel. I was thinking back, the bush 43 white house that you were part of got in trouble for making what turned out to be a completely legal move to dismiss seven u. S. Attorneys around the country. What do you make of the president s comments this week, in effect challenging his Justice Department and the fbi to go after Hillary Clinton . I think its unseemly. More than that, i think its dangerous. I think its dangerous for our country to get in the habit where it looks like the political winners direct their department of justice to go after their political opponents and political the people they defeated at the polls. I think its dangerous for President Trump because once you are in sheath this particular weapon, you can never sheath it again. Imagine what would happen if a Democratic Congress got in. Democrat majority in the house and senate and used their disagreements with political disagreements with the president to push for impeachment. It looks like hes got something to hide. Leave this whole thing along, move on. Be the president of the United States, focus on the big things and leave it to the Justice Department to make a conscious decision whether they ought to im confident mueller is looking at some of these questions. If im confident the Justice Department is looking at some of these questions. Leave it over there, dont help the president. Chris let me take the counterargument, the president does nominate the attorney general, the Justice Department is part of his administration. If there had been violations of the law, you just heard Lindsey Graham say that he thinks there have been violations of the law by the clintons, some of these deals, uranium one, the gps fusion, why not say to them, take a look . This is an authoritarian instinct so i think hes exactly right when he says you dont punish your political opponents by putting the mechanism of Law Enforcement on them without saying there has to be a real basis. This is a Law Enforcement decision, this is not a political act, and you dont go after the courts or the military courts and in terms of some of the things weve had this week, we were undermining something that is core to america, which is our Law Enforcement system. Thats what hes doing by trying to pressure attorney general sessions into taking an act against Hillary Clinton. With regard to the dossier and fusion gps, this is a total false equivalency. There is nothing equivalent between opposition research, which is totally legal, and potentially colluding with a hostile foreign state to interfere with an american election. Wait a minute. If the Democratic National committee hired a firm that paid money to a british spy in order to contact his russian counterpart, russian contracts to get that stuff on donald trump. No. One is a russian government. The russians, not the russian government. Chris what is the difference . One is foreknowledge of working with the russian government. [indistinct] allow me to finish this point. Chris briefly. One is a matter of total distraction, subversion from the russian probe, put up like a smoke screen by the Trump Administration and by his stooges in the congress. It is not appropriate for american Political Parties to be paying money to acquire information from the agents of foreign governments. Chris timeout. Fusion gps is an american company. Chris meanwhile, special Counsel Robert Mueller made the first big move of his pro. Announcing charges against two top trump Campaign Officials, Paul Manafort and rick gates, and a Foreign Policy advisor, george papadopoulos, had pleaded guilty to lying to the fbi. Heres white house spokesperson Sarah Huckabee sanders. Todays announcement has nothing to do with the president , it has nothing to do with the president s campaign, or campaign activity. The real pollution scandal, as weve said several times before, has everything to do with the Clinton Campaign, fusion gps, and russia. Chris what kind of statement do you think Robert Mueller made in terms of the nature, the strength, the momentum of this probe with what happened this week . I think the statement he made was im just getting started. I think its got a couple indictments now, hes got a guilty conviction. I think what hes going to do is squeeze now. He wants the people hes indicted in the person who was already pled guilty to talk about other people higher up the food chain. I think that is the message, and again we say it a lot, the president is helping himself or not by publicly commenting on the investigation. What weve seen in the cases of the Court Response to his executive actions is often turning his words back on him. I think the lesson from that would be to just say let the investigation play out, but i think this is going to be a headache for the foreseeable future. Chris rachel, what was the reaction from people you talked about from capitol hill . Did republicans get the sense that this president is going to have a problem and may be in trouble, or its not as bad as we thought . It was particularly surprising i think the democratic reaction. Kind of muted. We didnt hear a lot of calls for impeachment following these indictments. Chris that would be utterly premature. It sounds like nancy pelosi has been doing her best behind closed doors to tamp this down because she doesnt want to overplay your cards here. Republicans i think just yesterday we saw conservatives drop a bill calling for mueller to step aside and that leads me to one thing we will be watching in the coming weeks, trying to protect mueller, the answer is no. Even though they have Bipartisan Legislation in the senate that would make sure that the president cannot get rid of mueller. Chris they feel like the prt wont go there. They have an assurance privately that he is not going to do this. However, im wondering if this is sort of misplaced confidence at this point in time. We know that steve bannon has been talking to the president about going after mueller. We also know that conservatives conservatives the wall street journal said something about it as well. This was Storm Brewing around side mueller. Chris 20 seconds, your read on this . I think it is the beginning, but i also think its a rapid beginning. I think its a good sign. He will wrap this thing up quick. If theres more to be done. If there is collusion, if there is something there i think we would have had a bigger hit than things involved with manafort, things end at a couple ago and papadopolous is a flimflam artist not at the center of the campaign. Chris i dont think ive ever heard that on fox news, flimflam artist. Thank you panel, we will see you next sunday. Up next, our power player of the week, mark cuban, on the secrets of his success and the war of politics. honking beeping were on to you, diabetes. Times up, insufficient prenatal care.

Chris mark cuban is an internet billionaire, but where america really got to know him is a reality tv show. What has shark tank dung for mark cubans brand . Mark night and day different. Prior to shark tank i was just a crazy guy who screamed at the referees at Dallas Mavericks game. Chris more on that screaming in a moment. Mark there are some businesses i just want to deal with.

Offcamera he is a great guy. Chris which brings us back to the year 2000 when cuban bought the Dallas Mavericks and got noticed and fined for going after the referees. Mark i dont care if i could find. Chris would it be fair to say that you are a bad boy when you came in as the owner . Mark absolutely not. Chris what was the business side of yelling at the refs . Mark there was no Good Business reason for that. Chris he got the last laugh in 2011 when his team won back the nba. Cuban says he was born with the entrepreneurial gene. At age 12 he was working his neighborhood. Mark i went doortodoor, my name is mark cuban, do you use garbage bags . And it was easy, right . Thats how i learned how to sell.

Chris wanted to sell broadcast. Com for . Mark 5. 7 billion in yahoo stock. They want like another billionaire reality tv star, cuban is considering politics.

Chris how seriously are you thinking of running for president yourself in 2020 . Mark thinking . Quite a bit. What i do it . I would say right now its 10 . What holds me back more than anything is my family. Chris if he runs, he says it will be based on solutions he comes up with for the nations problems. Meanwhile, hes busy learning about Artificial Intelligence and thinking how we can add to his portfolio of more than 150 companies. Mark i know that there is some 12yearold kid somewhere thats trying to do the same thing and that gets me fired up. I used to be the youngest doing this, now im too old to be learning the stuff. I like that challenge. Chris cuban says hes trying to instill his work ethic and his children, encouraging them to get jobs.
