Transcripts For FBC Sunday Morning Futures With Maria Bartir

President trump also telling the Intelligence Community he is behind them 1,000 during a trip to the cia headquarters but facing criticism for spending much of the time going after the media while standing in front of a wall honoring fallen cia agents. All of this while millions of people across the country have hit the streets to try and disrupt President Trumps plans by protesting, marching in dozens of cities to protest his past words and actions as candidate trump. We have an allstar lineup to discuss the road ahead. House Homeland Security Committee Chairman Michael Mccaul is with me on what he expects from congress in the coming weeks. Senator roy blunt, the chairman of the inauguration on this historic day, and journalist Paula Broadwell joins me on the president s plan to combat cyber warfare. Also here with me Carly Fiorina and Grover Norquist zero in on what trump policies will mean to you. We kick it off right now with former House Speaker Newt Gingrich. Mr. Mr. Speaker, thanks very much for joining us. Good to be with you. What a week. Maria what are you expecting in the way of executive orders this week . Well, i think the hes going to take significant steps continuing down the road with moving back obamacare, taking first steps on immigration. I suspect he will suspend a number of president obamas policies that were soft on immigration. I think he will also begin moving towards a much tougher trade policy particularly with mexico and china. And i think all thats going to come, plus i think theyre going to go through a lot of deregulation, stripping away a variety of things that president obama did, for example, in his war on coal. And i think youll see President Trump rolling back a lot of obamas executive orders. Maria okay. So in terms of the executive orders with regard to immigration, you know, senior officials are telling us at fox news that its going to be immigration, its going to be trade, and its going to be jobs. And we know hes going to cap the week with a meeting with theresa hay, the u. K. Prime minister. Theresa may. What specifically are you p expecting in terms of immigration and trade . I think this is two things he could do that would be very widely accepted. One is to return real enforcement power to the Border Patrol and Immigration Service and instruct them to deport immediately people they catch crossing the border which is the opposite of the obama policy which has been to allow people to come into the United States and then go through a long,convt never worked. The second would be to put Border Agents or immigration agents inside big city jails. Historically, prior to the recent sanctuary city bologna, you had an immigration agent inside the jail so when somebody got done serving their time, if they were illegally here, they never got on the street. They went straight from the jail to the blues bus and were taken out of the country immediately. And i think that in a place like chicago which has had 4,000 people shot last year, getting rid of illegal foreigners who are criminals, i would think, would be pretty hard for mayor emanuel to oppose. Maria all right, lets drill down on that for a moment. What could President Trump do to insure that mayors like mayor emanuel actually follow the law in its extraordinary to me and many in our audience right now that there is law in place and, in fact, these sanctuary cities have completely blown off the law for so many years. You know, one of the lessons i learned from president Ronald Reagan is when you have a choice between an 80 20 fight on your side or an 80 20 fight on their side, pick the one thats to your advantage. So lets take the case, this is why i strongly urge them to focus, and he can do it by simple executive order, instructing Immigration Naturalization Services to go and reestablish the offices and instructing that they should take criminals when they get out of jail directly out of the country if theyre illegal and then serve that notice to every major city. And this is, frankly, a public fight he should relish. If rahm emanuel is going to try to defend putting criminals back on the street in a city with 4,000 people shot last year, i think that is a totally hopeless position with the average person in america. And thats the kind of fight the president should start looking for. Where can he get an 80 20 advantage. I think the idea at the border of blocking people trying to come in, returning them immediately, changing the obama policy back to what it historically has been, these kind of things could be done very quickly, theyd have overwhelming public support, and they would set up the right kind of approach to then Start Building the wall which is the other thing he should be issuing an executive order on assessing and instructing secretary kelly to look at, as Homeland Security, how can they build the wall. Governor abbott of texas, who has about half the border,s has already indicated he wants to cooperate with secretary kelly, that texas wants to play a role in helping control immigration because they have literally half the exposure of the whole country. Maria which leads me to trade. What is the executive order hes eyeing in terms of trade, and then take us through jobs. Well, to be honest, i dont know what specific steps hes going to take on trade. I think he is going to be instructing the department of commerce and the treasury and the u. S. Trade representative to pull together a strategy across the board to reopen things. He may well file an intent to renegotiate nafta which theres a clause in nafta that one of the three countries can decide to file and say theyre going to renegotiate. He may well do that this week which will be a pretty strong signal. He may also talk with british Prime Minister may when she comes here on friday about the possibility of a u. S. u. K. Free trade agreement. Its a bilateral between the two of them. I think the british would be very interested in. That. Maria yeah. And the canadians have an economy thats totally integrated into the u. S. We coproduce a number of things, so i think the canadians would like to find a new way to work with us rather than be involved in any confrontation or struggle. Maria yeah, this makes a lot of sense and, of course, all in line with what he has been saying on the campaign trail, frankly. Let me get your take on something ted cruz said to me on friday, newt, because the markets have been expecting tax reform in the first 100 days. At a minimum, evidence that, in fact, theyre working on tax reform. But ted cruz on mornings with maria on the Fox Business Network on friday said to me they probably cant actually pass legislation on tax reform until the budget reconciliation, the next budget reconciliation, end of the summer, fall. Whats your take . Well, look, i would yield to mitch mccardiology on that. They mcconnell on that. They get two budget reconciliation bills this year. One, i think, comes up in february and the other comes up this summer, although i think it maybe comes up in june. That certainly would be the logical place to do it. The other thing to remember though is if they do the right kind of tax reform, you have a lot of democrats up for reelection next year in the senate this states that President Trump carried. And if the business and jobs interest in those states for example, the ceo of Ford Motor Company said, look, im going to keep this factory in the United States maria right. But im doing so counting on President Trump to get the tax breaks and the regulatory breaks that weve talked about. Now, Michigan Democrats have to decide do they want jobs enough to actually work with Ford Motor Company, or are they so antibusiness and so owned by the labor unions that theyd rather give away michigan jobs and then them to mention send them to to mexico . Maria yeah. Thats a really important point. How damaging is it that 70 dems didnt go to the inauguration, that senator schumer seems to be stalling the confirmation process here . Let me draw a distinction. The 70 democrats who didnt go to the inauguration were neither missed, nor deeply regretted and nobody, frankly, cared. And if they feel better about it, good for them. What schumers doing is unconscionable. Barack obama, president obama got seven cabinet appointments confirmed the first day. What schumers doing is putting petty, negative, nasty politics ahead of the management of the federal government. Maria yeah. The president has the right to have a cabinet to run the government, and i think people should come down on schumer like a ton of bricks. I think, frankly, patriotic democrats ought to be furious. Be this whole notion of were just going to screw you up to prove that we can be partisan at the beginning of an administration is the opposite of what republicans did to president obama in 2009. Maria yeah, thats really important very quickly, newt, do you think Jeff Sessions gets confirmed this upcoming week . I hope so. He should. I have a sense in the senate that there are a number of senators going to vote for him because theyve worked with him, they know better, and i hope thats true. Although, frankly, cory bookers comments the other day were really sad maria yeah. Because hed actually cosponsored things with senator sessions and said nice things about senator sessions and then felt compelled i assume for 2020 president ial reasons to go and be nasty. So you cant tell. The democrats are sort of in a bad mood. Martha mr. Speaker, thanks very much. Newt gingrich. President trump making a peace offering to the Intelligence Community. House Homeland Security chairman Michael Mccaul is next weighing in on the president s remarks. Let us know what youd like to hear from our big lineup of guests this morning.

President trump visiting the cia on saturday, offering an olive branch after heavily criticizing the Intelligence Community. The president s coming under fire for spending the the lions share of his time speaking about the media. Nick shapiro greeted a statement from his form to tweeted a statement from his former boss, director brennan maria texas congressman Michael Mccaul is the house Homeland Security Committee Chairman, and he joins us now. Thank you so much for joining us. Your reaction to what went down at the cia. You know, i watched the speech. I thought it was very significant that the very first stop of this new president was to go see the Central Intelligence agency to reach out to them, to applaud them for their efforts. He basically said they are probably the most Important Agency within the federal government in terms of Foreign Policy and fighting this war on terror which this his inaugural address said for the first time now im hearing a president say the words radical islamic terrorism. Maria thats right. So can President Trump bring the country together and be on the same page inside, you know, externally and internally, in other words, what the public sees and what the people inside see on National Security . This is critical. Well, i think if you look at who he has appointed to the National Security post, hes appointed a very strong team. General mattis, bun of the one of the most highly respected generals in the military. You know, general kelly will be the Homeland Security secretary. Ill be working very closely with him in ming President Trumps agen forward inclung the security at the border and other issues like cybersecurity. And then mike pompeo, a colleague of mine, traveled with overseas to the middle east and northern africa, knows the Intelligence Community, has their respect. And i think youre going to see a very strong National Security policy moving forward not unlike president obama who led from behind for so many years and let the terrorists win. Think youre going to see a change now where were boeing to start winning were going to start winning against the terrorists. Maria President Trump went to the cia alone. You would have thought he brings secretary pompeo but, of course, were waiting on the confirmation process. Whats your take on whats happening with the confirmations process . What do you think the timeline looks like in terms of this stalling that seems to be happening within the senate . Well, i think within the next two weeks, i hope. I mean, particularly the National Security posts need to be confirmed immediately. I was glad to see that mattis and kelly got confirmed on the day of the inauguration, but to hold up mike pompeos nomination to be the director of the cia is irresponsible. Theres absolutely no reason why he should be confirmed immediately to one of the most important, you know, our Intelligence Community needs to go forward with a leader. I think its irresponsible to stop that process. Maria all right. What do you want to see in terms of executive orders this week as it relates to immigration . Obviously, our borders, one of the key talking points on the campaign trail and one of the Critical Issues to the American People right now. What do you want to see President Trump do in the way of executive orders and policy in the coming hundred days . Well, i think allow, you know, Border Patrol and i. C. E. To do their jobs, to basically mandate that you have to honor a federal i. C. E. Detainer if you have someone in custody that is under the detention of i. C. E. Respect federal law in these sanctuary cities, i think thats a big step forward. And i think also the thing ill be working closesly with general kelly closely with general kelly on will be how are we going to secure this border, how are we going to construct fencing. He also talked about aviation assets, technology. How are we going to get that border secure to stop the criminals, the drug dealers and potential terrorists from coming into the country. I think thats going to be, perhaps, from where i stand and where i think general kelly stands probably the number one priority moving forward in the next several months. Maria what do you say it is . Whats the answer to that . Well, we have a secure fence act, we need to complete that authorization bill that we passed. We these to appropriate the rest of that we need to appropriate the rest of that. But also i think there are many places where we can erect very high level fencing, some bricks and mortar, but a lot of aviation and technology assets. I talked to the governor of my state about the Rio Grande River and the challenges that presents. But it can be done. And i think the most exciting thing for us as republicans is that we dont have this divided government anymore, that for the first time now in eight years we can actually move forward and get things done like getting that border secure once and for all. Maria yeah. You have a window of opportunity here. A lot of expectations, congressman. Well be watching. Good to see you, sir,. You too, maria.
