And around the world over his temporary ban on immigrants and refugees from seven terror hot spots. And now as global leaders, republicans, democrats, even ceos condemn the ban. The push is on to not only block trumps cabinet picks, but his entire agenda, including repealing obamacare and tax reform. Welcome to risk and reward im Elizabeth Macdonald in for deirdre bolton. Tonight we have an allstar lineup. Well have former president ial candidate mike huckabee, american sniper chris kyle interpreter himself who supports the ban, architect James Mitchell and a constitutional expert who says refugees do not have the same rights as u. S. Citizens. Also, this hour we are monitoring a kosher vote in the senate on Rex Tillersons nomination for secretary of state. Were also watching a Committee Vote on lyndon mcmann to one the Small Business administration. Also, within the hour, democrats will gather on the steps of the Supreme Court to protest President Trumps executive order as unconstitutional. Now, 13 of trumps cabinet picks have yet to be confirmed and the democrats new plan is block or delay their confirmation and news is coming thick and fast that they may pick up eight republicans who pose a temporary ban and could side with them in blocking trumps agenda. Weve got trumps Senior Adviser telling fox news the time is now to get tougher on terror as there have been 91 terror plots since 9 11 in the u. S. Though, the majority of the plotters were u. S. Citizens and just one was the refugee from iraq. Hundreds and hundreds of foreign nationals and foreignborn naturalized citizens who have been implicated in terrorism in the United States since 9 11. This is a matter of National Security. Its a matter of keeping the public safe. And the reality in a world with 7 billion people, the United States has an absolute sovereign right to determine who can and cannot enter into the United States. Liz lets take this to American IslamicForum Founder zuhdi jasser. No, were going to use a sound bite from zuhdi jasser. He told us that he agrees with trumps policy. The muslim, theres nothing more american than fighting theocracy, and i think the problem with the last eight years has been, yes, theyve been vetting, but theyve been vetting about terrorism. Violent extremism, tactic, its time to shift towards countering violent islamism, jihadism, there is nothing more muslim. We need to stop the identity politics of the left. There is nothing more pro muslim than vetting against jihaddists so that those coming in truly represent muslims who believe in freedom and our way of life. Liz fox business senior washington correspondent peter barns. Hes here to break down exactly what the order does and does not do. Peter. Well, thats right, liz. Numerous scripts and political leaders from the dnc counsel on American Islamic relations or care are calling this a muslim ban, but so far, the two most prominent factchecking organizations the Washington Post fact checker and prize winning politicalo fact are not siding with the critics on this one. President trump himself noted there are quote 40 Countries Worldwide that are muslim that are not affected by this order. Acknowledge that the seven countries covered by the president s action, iraq, syria, iran, sudan, libya, somalia, and yemen are majority muslim. But the Obama Administration previously described these countries as terrorist hotbeds. A lot of the refugees from countries were, in fact, christians from 2012 to the present. About half in the case of iran. And allowed expedited treatment for them and any other minorities that claimed to be prosecuted. According to the order on a case by case basis, the secretary of state and secretary of Homeland Security may issue visas or other immigrant benefits to nationals of these countries if they determine that it is in the u. S. National interest. Liz. Liz terrific reporting, peter. You know, we really need a fact check like that. Thank you so much for coming on. You bet. Liz next up, President Trump says a temporary ban similar to what president obama did in 2011 when president obama banned visas for refugees from iraq for six months. Here are other from trumps team making that argument. President obama suspended the iraqi Refugee Program for six whole months after two iraqi refugees were implicated in alqaeda plot in kentucky. It is literally 100 the same. 2001 and 2017 are identical. So this idea that there are has been a change or downgrade is utter nonsense. Liz lets go to governor mike huckabee, governor, im so glad youre on the show. You know, its not quite the same, though; right . Obamas was one delay for country, iraq, and the two iraqi terrorists caught here in kentucky. Obama did not sign an executive order for a outright ban; right . Well, but there was an act in 2015 that was actually enacted by congress as part of a budget bill, and it slowed down immigration from seven different countries, the seven that are mentioned. Ive read the executive order that donald trump signed. He did not mention seven countries. He only mentioned one. That one was syria. So when people say donald trump banned muslims, he did not. Thats a lie. Or that donald trump singled out people from seven countries. He didnt. Thats a lie. Truth is theres a total of 109 people out of over 300,000 traveling that got delayed. They didnt get locked up, handcuffed, put away, they got delayed. Heck, liz, i get delayed by tsa sometimes because i took too much shampoo in my bag. So for people to act like its chaos all over the world, thats just not true. The chaos is being created by the protesters who arent going to like anything donald trump does. But a lot of us like the fact that he does want to keep america safe. Liz heres president obama weighing in quote with regard to comparisons to president obama this is from his team with the Foreign Policy decisions as weve heard before, the president , meaning president obama, fundamentally disagrees with the notion of discriminating against individuals because their faith or religion. Other critics, governor, saying its not right to bar refugees because they come from a particular country. So what are your thoughts on president obama weighing in here . Well, lets be, first of all, very clear. President trump did not single out people for their religion. Again, thats a lie that the media is telling and that the leftist are telling. What he singled them out for is if they come from a country that is a hotbed of terrorism. And if we cant fully vet them. Now, look, this is a keeping of a promise. Donald trump said throughout the campaign he would engage in extreme vetting. You know, i think whats going on here, donald trump is getting in trouble for something that people have never seen a politician do. Keeping his promises. Theyre used to a guy saying you can keep your doctor if you like him, youre going to get, you know, 2,500 less on your insurance. Theyre used to hearing people say things that they know they dont mean. Donald trump said it. He meant it. Hes doing it. And now theyre acting like they cant believe that hes actually doing liz i hear what youre saying. Exactly what people said. Liz senator mccain is coming out saying, you know, it was poorly explained to allies and u. S. Security officials. But you know what i want to do, governor . Lets just go through the numbers, because we like to go through the numbers and fact check. For the terrorists involved in the plot in 9 11, 108 were u. S. Born or naturalized citizens, or they have legal permanent residency status. One was a refugee of iraq. Of the 190 terrorists involved in the 191 plots in the u. S. , when it comes to those in the ban list, you see the number. One from syria, one from somalia, yemen, iraq, and so on and so fourth. And the last 15 years, no individuals from the five of the countries on the list, iran, libya, sudan, yemen, are linked to any terror attacks. They could be linked to Training Camps in places like libya. What are your thoughts on those numbers . Well, i know of one case in particular because it involved arkansas. The little rock shooter that was radicalized, was radicalized in yemen. He was an american, but he was in yemen where he was radicalized. He came back and murdered a soldier who was standing in front of her recruiting center in little rock. So we have citizens that its not only the noncitizens but citizens that get radicalized. Now, let me be clear. Sometimes with he lose this fact. A person who is a citizen of another country has no constitutional right of anything in america. If they come to this country, it is because we allow them to just like if i go to ive been to almost 60 countries. I didnt go in there and demand say i have a right to be here because i dont. I had to ask permission. Liz and, governor, trumps order cuts in half the total number of refugees this year. But that sort of sets at 50,000, wasnt that the same level it was under george w. Bush . I mean, i think the last eight years were kind of an on anomaly; right . Or no . I think they were. They were characteristic of what the Obama Administration wanted, which was essentially open borders at every level. Well, that hasnt worked out real beautifully for us, and it searchlight didnt work out well for europe. Were learning those lessons. Donald trump is actually trying to protect americans. He said he was going to do it. Hes doing it. Some of us thank god hes doing it because we feel like its a message to the world that were not going to be chumps anymore and americas going to be a strong nation that will protect itself and protect its citizens first. Bravo. Thats what a president ought to be doing. Liz yeah, and the fact is ten terror plots, attacks rather in the last eight years, 400 people injured, 113 killed in the last eight years terroristinspired attacks. Lets get to democrat senator Chuck Schumer moved to tears over the president s temporary travel halt. This executive order was meanspirited and unamerican liz President Trump earlier today governor questioning whether the senators tears were fake and just for the cameras. Lets take a listen. I noticed that Chuck Schumer yesterday with fake tears. Im going to ask him who was his acting coach. Because i know him very well. I dont see him as a crier. If he is, hes a different man. Theres about a 5 chance that they were real, but i think they were fake tears. Liz by the way, governor, we saw your daughter sarah in the back of that shot. She was sitting behind the president. What do you think of senator schumers reaction, governor . Well, let me, first of all, say the fact that my daughter is there proves how smart trump really is that he put her on the team. I dont know whether Chuck Schumer is crying for real or not, i dont know him as well as the president knows him. But heres what i do know. Im pretty sure that Chuck Schumer voted for the very bill in 2015 that did put a real hiatus on a lot of the immigration from the very seven countries that trump is accused of banning people that he didnt. Its part of a budget bill. I just wonder where were Chuck Schumers tears when that bill got signed by president obama. Where were they . I dont know. I mean, i just think that this is about a political grandstanding. This is not because somehow the world went into chaos because donald trump kept a Campaign Promise and decided that he was going to put together a very serious vetting process for people coming to america. Good for him. Liz you know what, governor . Heres whats going on now. 13 we know that 13 cabinet nominees have yet to be confirmed. That includes jeff sessions, tom price, rick perry. And donald trump is announcing his Supreme Court nominee tomorrow night. Doesnt he need senator schumer and were seeing a growing number of republicans oppose the ban, eight of them. I mean, they could easily block his agenda and the nominees and his Supreme Court nominee. What do you think . Well, if they all want to lose their next election, i guess they could do that. But it would be a fools errand to block all of the cabinet poin appointees, when even republicans didnt block some of the appointees unless there is some legal or outrageous action on part of that nominee that causes them to say we cant do it. But if we remember something, the republicans have the majority and theres three magic words that Mitch Mcconnell needs to say out loud in the senate chamber. Call the role because theyve got the votes and the democrats can slow it down, and they can make a mess of it. But ultimately, the republicans have the votes, they are the majority and by gosh, they need to act like it. To quote president obama, elections have consequences, and we won. Liz all right. Thank you, governor mike huckabee. Please come back on the show. We like having you on. Always great. Thanks a lot, liz. Liz next up an iraqi who agrees with President Trump temporary ban. Not just any refugee. Its american sniper chris kyles interpreter. Hes here to tell us why he agrees with the ban after this.

My next guest goes by the code name johnny walker. He was the interpreter for american sniper chris kyle, and he joins me now. Johnny, thank you so much for coming on the show. We really appreciate it. Now, you are a refugee from one of the seven banned countries, temporary ban. Iraq. Why do you support President Trumps travel ban . I mean, first of all, we have to think about one thing. President trump, he put United States at the first level of his priorities. Hes not going to play some games with telling some names about terrorists or something. No, he just, like, i want to protect my country no matter how much its going to take me. And one of those things he wants to ban refugee for three months. And this is give us more safe environment for our family, our kids, our wives, our parents, and i think everyone love United States should support trump. Liz so to your point what you just said, many are criticizing the president for, you know, issuing the executive order so quickly. What do you think of that criticism . Can you ask me again . I apologize. My english is not that good. Liz the criticism is that it was rushed in quickly and our allies overseas were not alerted to it ahead of time and maybe people who helped with the fight against terror could be put on the line here because it was rushed in so quickly, and they werent given the headsup. What do you think . Yeah, they can wait for three months. He did not put life in jeopardy and lose life. And if you dont mind, i want to remind you about something that happened in 2015 when at that time president obama put ban for six months on iraqi Refugee Program because he said that alqaeda, they came to kentucky. So why no one call him racist . Why no one call him you are against muslim . Why when trump stops it for three months, everyone, like, they make like trump, he presents all the christians in the world and the refugees the muslims. And this is the media and the Democrat Party and obama. It looks like in this way. It looks like that it is war between islam and christian and this is wrong. This is big mistake. He organized this country. He want to make people proud about america again. And this is not obama disagree with that, and thats why we have all the media against trump now. Liz yeah, i hear what youre saying. Were showing images of you with chris kyle. You know, the media is also making, you know, reporting a lot about this fellow iraqi refugee and u. S. Interpreter held at jfk over the weekend. He had a u. S. Visa. He was eventu
