Transcripts For FBC The Intelligence Report With Trish Regan

FBC The Intelligence Report With Trish Regan January 15, 2018

Bill unless they get a clean immigration fix which will not happen. Does that mean were heading for a Government Shutdown . Well ask arizona congresswoman martha mcsally. Were following a story about the russia dossier. Congressman ron desantis told me yesterday, he has requested to declassify all documents every single one related to the dossier. He wants to know if the fbi used the fake document to launch surveillance on the trump campaign. Well have more in a few moments. Adam shapiro on capitol hill, with very latest on immigration battle, a battle it is. Adam. Reporter its a battle on immigration. Republicans are trying to figure out how to navigate this because if you do the calculus, the funding resolution, continuing resolution would not pass likely without democrats. Paul ryan may have to do a deal with democrats on immigration and daca. Here is what the president tweeted out recently. Statement by me last night in florida, honestly i dont think democrats want to make a deal. They talk about daca and are to the ready to help. Were ready willing to make a deal. They dont want security at border, they dont want to stop drugs. They want to take away money from the military which we can not do. My standard is simple, America First and make America Great again. Rand paul walls on fox friends earlier today. He said there could be a compromise but it will take both sides to get there. I think the immigration debate is sort of separate hopefully from funding of the government but that is a question. Will the democrats hold up spending and funding of government over this issue. I always thought immigration would be settled separate from the spending issue. I still think it will be and should be. Reporter democrats point out they had a deal along the lines of what president wanted on tuesday. Of course we know what happened last week with certain kinds of comments behind closed doors. Here is what dick durbin said moments ago about where this is all headed. If they will help us reach a bipartisan compromise to protect those who were protected by daca and give those who were eligible to sign, dreamers a chance, it is clear evidence to me that theyre moving in the right direction. Reporter to sum up this equation for the one last time, trish, to get a resolution to keep the government funded past friday night you will need democrats. In order to get democrats, paul ryan, Mitch Mcconnell will have to do something with daca. Want to put money on either of these out comes . Back to you. Trish thats what we do, we put money on things. Thank you very much, adam. Joining me republican congresswoman from arizona, mortgage that mcsally. Congresswoman i should point out youre running for senate in arizona. Do you think they will get anything done or well look at a Government Shutdown . Lets be clear this week, the only deadline isthe government funding. We need to make sure we have a deal that supports our troops, fund our military so they can keep us safe. It is democrats that decided to hold the funding discussion hostage to something that has nothing to do with a deadline this week and that is daca. They need to separate it. They need to stop playing politics with our military and our troops. Those deployed right now, family members back here, i cant imagine what theyre thinking. That theyre creating this false crisis that they seem to do in washington, d. C. That has nothing to do with our government funding. So this week the focus should be and American People should demand we get to a funding deal to fund our military, support our troops, move past that while we continue to negotiate in good faith on Border Security, immigration issues that are the highest priority while addressing the daca issue. The deadline is not this week for that. They are turning it into a false crisis. Trish congresswoman, this is frankly what both sides of the aisle do, they play politics at times when they absolutely shouldnt be, thus is the world we live in. So with that in mind, are they looking to gain some kind of advantage here in that they believe if they hold out and they shut town the government over this, they look to immigrant populations in the United States of america as though theyre the heroes because theyre working on behalf of that population and maybe they dont care so much about our military population . That is not their base . I dont know what is in their hearts but that strategy is reckless and irresponsible. Our troops right now are in harms way they need the resources, they need training equipment an certainty in order to keep us safe in increasingly dangerous world. They will have to answer, if that is the choice they make, they will have to answer to the American People that they decided to side with those here illegally over our troops. That is really a poor decision and their responsibility as leaders in our nation to knot buckle to any sort of political pressure trot extremes but actually sit down and do the hard work. The most important job of the federal government is to keep us safe and support our troops. That is the message to them today. Trish they want a clean dreamers bill. They dont want it attached to any kind of funding for a wall or any kind of border enforcement. They want a path forward for these dreamers. Is there any chance that the president or any republicans will go for that . There is no freakin way, trish, that clean dream act is passing. They need to get off the planet they are on and come to the table and negotiate with us in good faith. I introduced a bill last week with some of my teammates that we believe are the highest priorities for addressing the issues of Border Security, of public safety, and National Security related to our broken Border Security strategies of the past and our immigration policies of the past while addressing things like chain migration, the visa lottery. Again real Border Security to address the highest priorities of americans. We want them to come to the table. I was at that meeting in the white house. Trish i know you were. You know what . I was actually quite pessimistic about the whole thing. I was one that said i didnt think you guys had a chance getting something done. I watched, congresswoman, i thought you might actually see a real negotiation now but what is it that you can give them what they want to enable something here to get done . I with ask them all to look at our by our bill is a good bill that addresses again Border Security for people like me who represent border communities and border states. We have to stop these cartels from trafficking through our communities. It addresses the priorities of ending chain migration which is extended family migration, plus ending visa lottery, addressing clothing loopholes cartels are ticking advantage of unaccompanied minors. Trish in exchange for what . In exchange give hem legal status, can stay to go to school and not getting any pass to get ahead of people done this legal way. This is reasonable approach addresses roots why we have a daca population in the first place and dont get another one in the future. Trish in some ways everybody should be a little bit happy and everybody should be a little bit many members of the base do not want any legitimate status for dreamers because they fear that might encourage more to come here. So you guys are losing out on something. Yes, the left is losing out on something because you will say you will enforce these borders and well not allow more of this to happen. Right. Trish seems reasonable to me but no one seems to be that reasonable in d. C. These days. Fortunately you are. Exactly. If you look at our bill, it gets to the root causes of why we have these problems in the first place, addresses very Real Security issues. Doesnt incentivize additional illegal activity or reward those who brought the daca population here in the first place. You have the white house asked for 70 points. We came somewhere in the middle, prioritized reasonable approach. Were asking for negotiation. Trish hopefully the government doesnt shut down over all of this. I want to thank you. By the way, food good luck of the senate campaign. I liked mex of Barry Goldwater in your enuns sy ages speech. I flew around in the world war ii trainer that the type Barry Goldwater flew. I was fighter pilot. Talk like one and ready to fight and win this campaign. Trish congresswoman mcsauli, thank you very much. Thank you very much. Trish President Trump said he is not racist and never used the sword to describe haiti. Two republican senators in the room say they dont recall the president using those exact words, watch. Are you saying the president did not use the worldwidely reported . Im telling you he did not use that word. I did not hear it and i was sitting no farther away from donald trump than dick durbin was. I know what dick durbin said about the president s repeated statements were incorrect. Trish regardless of what the word he used, does the word itself matter . I know it is not what hey, my husband makes fun of me i still spell my swears. I dont approve of that language but in other words, if you say hellhole or you know what hole, is it really that different . One may be more vulgar than the other. To jump from have garrett to actual racism vulgarity to actual racism that is kind of deep. These countries he with referring to in language a lot of us dont like but people do use, theyre pretty disfunctional. I mean you just look at the economies there. You look at the challenges there. You know, it is tough, right . Youve got per capita gdp there in norway of nearly 70,000, in the United States nearly 60,000. In el salvador, 8,000. In haiti, almost 2,000. They very different economic equation and life expect tan sy in part as a result of the higher per capita income. Now puts norway ahead of the United States actually. El salavador is 91. Matey is 146. They have rampant crime in these places. Economies are challenged. People struggle to get an education. It is great to have hardworking peel to come here, but is there anything wrong to say okay, we need nurses it this year . Well go to the philippines and find highlyeducated nurses to bring them here . Or we need engineers. And they have tremendous Engineering Program in india and well bring those people specifically here for engineering jobs if youre not asking for the moon. Youre just identifying what it is that we need as a country and going out and cnbcing it. Joining me right now conservative review contributor tom borelli and democratic strategist, robin biro. Why is this so wrong . This is wrong, trish for the very simple reason when donald trump said this, i dont disagree these countries are beleaguered, when he said this, why are we getting immigrants from these, you know what hole countries trish he didnt say because of the color of their skin, robin. He said these are countries that are highlychallenged, why do we want people with these significant challenges coming here when we need doctors, we need nurses, we need engineers . Because we are the land of opportunity an they want to escape those countries for that reason. That means they want to make their lives better. They can do that here, just like my neighbors who are very successful nigeriaians who own their own company. Trish i have got news for you. It is not year 1776. We got a lot of people here. We have a pretty big population. We have such a big population, no one knows how the heck well pay for Social Security because all kinds of entitlements are there. It is not 1776. We have a big population. The whole idea saying just come to this country and make your way here, tom, it doesnt work anymore no, absolutely. Just to need to apply common sense here. And what is really going on this is about the 2018 midterm elections. Democrats are desperate. President trump is doing a super job and what they want to do is use the race card as a kryptonite to stop the president from continuing to do his super job. Look at the economy. The economy is growing gdp 3 . They think maybe 4 . Over a Million People have gotten bonuses because of the tax plan. Unemployment is low. Black unemployment is alltime low since they ever measured it. That is a problem for democrats. Theyre so afraid, the black community will wake up to the empowerment of a growing economy under President Trump. Trish you know, one of the things i find most disturbing about the left is this idea somehow you have to keep people habitually in poverty, give them these little handouts, marie antoinettelike, let them eat cake like, stay happy enough to keep voting us into office as opposed to people realizing they can do it themselves. They can be successful themselves. That has been a big distinction, a fundamental distinction between the two parties approach to the economy. It is why i like the come serve tiff approach to the economy because im all for empowering the people. Robin, you dont think the people can do it on their own . Trib, you just talked about little handouts. This tax plan gives people a little handout for the middle class. 15 to 20 per paycheck. Trish i know you, you and nancy pelosi think it is just crumbs. Armageddon. Money is money. But, but, i want to say the reason that this is looking racist, he basically said we cant have countries from people that are black. Trish he never said black. Let me finish. The implication is the we cant have people coming from these countries what we know to be predominantly black. Why cant we have people coming from countries like norway who are predominantly white. Trish you are interpreting something. I heard this, i thought to myself okay he is referring to challenged countries. I never even, because i dont think that way. I didnt think black, white. I thought challenged country. Only democrats think like that. Because race is the only thing they have, exactly. They need to gin up the base. Lindsay fram during hearing called those companies hell holes. President obama used the s word to describe libya. We didnt hear anything about that, did we . Leftwing media and democrats are desperate. President trump had great early part of the week. They called him crazy. He had big open meeting showed him in command and in control. Who was sitting to his right . Dick durbin. What was durbins motivation . He had to come out and slam. Because democrats run on two things, right, i will peach and rye sis. That all they have impeach and resist. Trish nothing worse you can say about someone to call them racist or make hitler comparisons. Despicable an frayingly insulting to so many people and insulting to history. Jeff flake by the way, stalin comparison. A nevertrumper are we shocked. Trish good to see you both. Thank you, robin. Thank you, tom. Dow up big time in the futures, tripledigit gain of 25,937. Tell you what we are points away from deeing dow 26k. Can you believe this . It has been one record after another. Were gearing up for earnings season. Ill tell you wouldnt know any of this right now if you watched our competition because cnbc over there in new jersey are taking the day off. Again. They dont believe i guess in live coverage when you have major news. I tell you we do. I do and were here for you, promise, all day long, breaking news. Stay with me. Im back in a few minutes. Retail. Under pressure like never before. And its connected technology 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. We think presently the u. S. Economy is one of the very positive spots on the planet this is something that industry likes. This is something industry would like to sustain. Trish that was chairman and ceo of Renault Nissan alliance, carlos ghosn. He was speaking to me on marias sunday morning Futures Program just yesterday. We talked about where the best opportunities were. He said the u. S. Is it. By the way, how fascinating is this, everyone . You know said they didnt expect a ton of growth in 2018. Now thanks to the tax plan they came back and rejiggered their estimates on growth because there will be a lot more car sales as a result of the tax cut. Look at futures soaring up, up 136 gain of half a percent. Were points away from 26,000 on the dow. Hey, we could get there this week. Tell you who wouldnt be surprised. That is adam johnson. You wouldnt know anything about this market, right, if you were watching the competition because theyre taking the day off hanging out of course they are. Trish forgetting there is a lot going on in the world. They dont want to talk about the freight great economist. One of the things fox news has done well address the fact that we have president in the Office Making news about the successful economy. Why gdp is going to 4 and economy boeing a lot higher. Trish you are in agreement with jamie dimon and he said that to maria the other day. He said 4 is completely in reach. This is the most hated bull run ever. Thats true. Trish it is politically motivated. People say i dont like donald trump yet my investment portfolio keeps going up. I liked your enter view with carlos ghosn over the weekend. You said to him, it is politically unpopular for a lot of ceos to take the side of the white house. He said it is not about taking sides. It is about the numbers and about the facts. The fact is that what is happening right now in washington is making it much easier for companies to go about their business. It is making it much easier for people to lead their own lives. He have one has more money in their pocket as a result to deploy capital if youre a person, to spend money if youre a person, or deploy capital if youre a corporation. I love this story. It is uniquely american. Trish i do believe gdp is going to 4 . If you look at previous tax cuts back in the 90s and early 2000s, the Congressional Budget Office significantly underestimated what the benefits would be and i think that is what is going to happen. Trish not everybod
