Transcripts For FOXNEWSW Americas Newsroom With Bill Hemmer And Sandra Smith 20180323

The World Biggest economy. We get a shakeup and welcome here. Its going to be a rocking two hours. Sandra its one of those fridays. Im sandra smith. How will wall street respond to the terrorist news. The dow plunging 700 points in yesterdays session. Well watch the stock market open in half an hour from now. Meanwhile, mcmaster is out. Former ambassador john bolton is in. The former Fox News Contributor is seen as a hawk. Bill the trump team facing Big Decisions on israel, saudi arabia, iran and north korea. Ive written i dont know how many articles and opeds and opinion pieces. I cant count the number of speeches and had have had countless interviews on fox in the last 11 years. Theyre on the public record. Ive never been shy about what my views are but frankly what ive said in private now is behind me. At least effective april 9th. The important thing is what the president says and what advice i give him. Sandra first, breaking news at the white house where doug mcelway is. Reporter in the past minute, literally, the president has delivered up a new treat and is it an important one, he said im considering a veto on the om my bus spending bill based on the fact that the Daca Recipients have been abandoned by the democrats and not even mentioned in bill and border wall which is needed for our National Defense is not fully funded. That throws the omnibus bill into question. Government funding, should it happen and the threat of a veto means were looking at another Government Shutdown tonight after midnight. You may want to change your friday night plans. And the appointment of john bolton. Hes been a lightning rod of criticism over the past decades and will probably ramp up it and has and Chuck Schumer said mr. Boltons tendency to solve with military will temper and were trying to build the middle class at home. That reaction being heard from abroad as well. The New York Times saying it adds to the perception the u. S. Being a headless chicken which is bad for the world said a Political Science in tokyo. Bolton though has long followed the axiom of peace through military and mr. Bolton has warned of presentday aggressions by the likes of iran, russia and north korea. He wrote an oped pre we should not wait until the last minute. That would risk striking after north korea has developed nuclear weapons. A more dangerous situation. His appointment, however, does shift the type of advice like mcmaster and President Trump said he favors an array of opinions but bolton is under no illusions that President Trump is not the final arbiter. Heres Kellyanne Conway. If people support his agenda they should be here, if youre not with the program you should get with the program or get out but it doesnt mean blind loyalty. Reporter and boltons appointment becomes effective april 9. Sandra a lot going on and were watching the markets. Bill and i were talking about the changes and fluctuations ahead of the open. Dow futures down about 25 points. The tariff war seems to be heating up. China now promising to retaliate against a new array of trumpimposed sanctions. Reporter that hurt the stock market yesterday dropping 700 points yesterday. Now mr. Trump threatening a new array of tariffs on chinese goods and restricting chinese ability to invest in u. S. Technology Companies Taking effect in 30 days and another suggesting its not leading towards an allout trades war. I dont think of us want a trade war and we want to protect the farmers in america and a know china looks to that and knows how much of the Agricultural Products they import but for decades weve had administrations talk about intellectual theft. Its been documented and proven where they force americans. To partner with them and steal the property and set up competing Companies Inside china. Reporter chinas commerce secretary takes a different view of that. He said it sets a bad precedent and china doesnt want to fight a trade war but not afraid of a trade war and china demonstrate the just that immediately after threatening to impose tariffs on 3 billion worth of u. S. Goods and Agricultural Products and let me add farm state senators are worried. I was at a Panel Discussion where it was said one of every five jobs in iowa is dependent on agricultural exports. Bill President Trump tweeting about a newly released summary from the House Intel Committee report on russia. Quoting, House Intelligence Committee releases findings. No serves of collusion between Trump Campaign and russia. Two, the obama postelection response was insufficient. James clapper provided insufficient testimony. Hugo gurdon is with us this morning. Start with the first point about clapper. Did they catch him in a lie . I dont know whether they have caught him in a lie here but one of the things thats ironic is he has suggested the House Intelligence Panel lacked credibility. Five years ago, 2013, he gave false testimony to the congress about the data on american citizens being collected by the Intelligence Services and this is not an accusation, this is an established fact. Edward snowden revealed James Clapper had not told the truth to congress and the fact hes stating lack of credibility doesnt pass. Bill clapper said he didnt talk or leak or speak with the media until after january 20 2017, the day after the left the obama and that may well be true. There were plenty of people in the others who might have been leaking to the media and ended up being reports that james comey after the briefing of President Trump on the dossier may have had some hand in this. Joe di genever who just joined trumps legal team laid out what he suggests is a rather extraordinary and incredibly damning conspiracy campaign within the services to go after President Trump. And when James Clapper is on the television and is talking about this, theres quite a lot that are disliked by him. Bill adam schiff who has been a favorite guest of news corporations calls this a sad chapter. Where is his proof of collusion . Where is his hint of collusion . Show us one card. We dont need 52. Thats a great question, bill. There is no proof of collusion. Theres a lot of talk of collusion but if there had been if there were more evidence i think in the past 18 or 15 months of investigation into this matter, we might have seen rather more of it than we have. The house panels conclusion there was no collusion is certainly plausible. The longer this investigation goes on or the longer it went on, the more apparent it became there was no collusion. Its up to those who say there was collusion to put the evidence in front of people. Bill the full document not out yet. Waiting to get scrubbed by the Intel Committee. Thank you very much. Well have the republican from ohio to talk about the clon collusion and well have an interesting perspective on this. Sandra breaking news from the white house. Moments ago the president tweeting he is considering vetoing the massive 1. 3 trillion spending bill. What this could mean for a potential Government Shutdown and beyond when rnc chairwoman Rona Mcdaniel joins us. Bill and our efforts to counter iran in the middle east. An interesting development. Sandra and as john bolton prepares for his new role as National Security adviser he wastes no time calling out the leaks of Sensitive Information inside the trump administration. Whether youre a republican, democrat, liberal or conservative, there ought to be unity that leaking of that sort is simply unacceptable. Its completely unacceptable. You cannot conduct diplomacy or expect other foreign leaders to be candid and open in their conversations with the president if some munchkin in the executive branch decides to leak the talking points to the transcript or any other aspect of it. Bill incoming National Security adviser john bolton reacting to the leaks in the west wing after a phone call between President Trump and vladamir putin leaked earlier in the week. Steven hayes and marie, how does this happen and how do you track down the munchkins . Its hard to determine who leakers are. This administration has seen a remarkably number of leaks which is never a good thing but they also should take a good and long hard look at why people are leaking and i think someone was upset with the substance of the phone call to vladamir putin. Theres few people who have direct access to this kind of information but more than you think have secondhand access and is often how it gets leaked. Bill ive been thinking about this and maybe im off on this stuff, steve, maybe the president put it out. This battle with the Intel Community is real and perhaps this is his way of saying im not going to do everything you tell me to do we dont know what the verbatim was of that congratulatory comment. Maybe it was deep or on a more shallow level. You raise a real possibility. Weve seen the president confirm the day after via twitter he was excited to congratulate vladamir putin and thought he was doing so in the interest of furthering the United Statesrussian interests. I think it was naive but i wish he would have listen to his advisors. I want to be clear, ill take these leaks from munchkins or anyone at the white house. Im happy to have the leaks. Theyre not good for the president. Bill okay. I think early on your exactly right. Early on the first month we were getting leaks every day of private conversations and that indeed was not good and minut bolt is like 72. And commenting on john bolton, you both know very well they are of like mind when it comes to israel, trump and bolton and of like mind in helping build up saudi arabia and that was evident in the arms sale to riyadh. I believe bolton is a bigger hawk on north korea than the president has shown, nonetheless, james matis has put them on notice theyre surrounded. Marie, perhaps he wants more likeminded people around him or perhaps hes looking for more faithful around him. What do you think . I think hes building what looks to be a very hawkish cabinet particularly on Foreign Policy. Youre right, john bolton is closer to donald trump than h. R. Mcmaster was than is more of a mainstream republican Foreign Policy thinker. The National Security advisers job is to gatherer views and help the president make decisions. That will be an open question whether john bolton will be able to put his own personal opinion, not entirely to the side, but put different points of view forward to the president and give him different options and not to let his ideological leaning to the job and in the past bolton has been accused of changing intelligence to fit his point of view. I think john bolton disagrees with donald trump on a number of things most especially russia. John bolton has a long history of being a russia hawk even as late as the past several weeks. Hes urged the president to confront vladamir putin and be more aggressive in how the United States handles putin and his own aggression. If you look at larry kudlow who disagrees strongly with the president on trade and the more recent hires, mike pompeo i would conclude is not a yes man or nodding in agreement to everything the president says. The contrary to the broader narrative i think the president is bringing in people more likely to challenge him. Whether he listens to these people is a different point. Bill interesting point, both of you. Steven hayes and marie harf. Sandra six months after the deadliest mass shooting in modern history were seeing disturbing new video showing how the shooter spent his days leading up to the massacre. Were there missed signs and where the Administration Stands today. Plus, a story we first brought you yesterday. Two Police Officers who quickly jumped into action to save the life of a choking incidents. Those two officers are here to tell their story.

Sandra fox news alert, President Trump tweeting just moments ago im considering a veto of the omnibus spending bill based on the fact the 800,000 plus Daca Recipients have been totally abandoned by the democrats, not even mentioned in the bill and the border wall which is desperately needed for our National Defense is not fully funded. Ronna mcdaniels the chairwoman of the Republican National committee. Thank you for joining us. Thats confusing that paul ryan had been out there assuring everyone the border wall is funded for six months. The president s right to bring up the democrats continue to refuse to deal on the Daca Recipients. He has put together a reasonable deal, gone further than barack obama did and said lets take care of the Daca Recipients and put in place a wall and better Border Security so we dont find ourselves in the same position years down the road. Democrats dont want to deal with the president because they want to use it as an issue going into the 2018 midterms and the president is right to point it out because its an absolute lie on behalf of democrat leadership they care about the Daca Recipients more than they care about the next election. Sandra theres promises the president and republicans made to the American People are not in this bill. Does the president have a choice . Hes the commanderinchief but hes pointing out to the American People, guess what, democrats said they want to take care of the Daca Recipients and they put a deal on the table and theyre refusing it because they care more about looks than the people they claim to represent. The president is being reasonable. Sandra whats it do to the likelihood of a Government Shutdown. The president wants to look at it and its fair to point out democrats are refusing to come to the table on something where hes put together an excellent deal. Sandra you have senators like the state of iowa where they have 2. 3 billion annually in exports to china. Theres real fears out there. The president is doing the right thing stick up for our country. China has been dealing unfairly with our country far too long and stealing our intellectual property and hes saying were not going to stand for this longer. By the way, everyone across the aisle has said the same thing and President Trump said im going to take a strong stance against countries not dealing with our country fairly. Hes not asking for an unfair playing field, hes saying lets be fair and put America First and thats his job as commanderinchief and somebody standing up on behalf of the average american person in this country who for too long has not had a voice representing them in washington. Sandra well see how it plays out at the midterms and the president talking about how his popularity will play out in the midterm. Bill we were in pensacola, florida and the place is rocking. I dont know if its transferrable. They say a lot of its not transferrable. They may like me and vote for me and saying ill do great in 2020. Lets see what happens, right. Sandra we will see what happens. What do you think will happen, ronna . I know the president will be campaigning for every candidate because he wants to keep america on this great comeback under his leadership but hes right, our base is energized around him. I was at the rally in pennsylvania. Ive never seen anything like it and hes the best motivator of our base but every candidate will have to work as hard as ever to keep the majorities because the democrats are coming for the majority. They want to take back control and shut down this government as much as possible and stop President Trump from achieving great things for the American People but its a warning sign for candidates, youll have to get out and make a case for yourself because voters will make a choice between you and the occur democrat. Sandra ronna mcdaniel, chairwoman of the rnc. Thank you for being here. Bill moments from opening bell on wall street. How will stocks respond a
