All right now on fox news sunday. Hello again from fox news in washington. Top National SecurityOfficials Say the threat from russian meddling in the upcoming
midterms is real. President trump keeps calling it a hoax. One of several issues along with north korea and iran where the president s statements appear at odds with the rest of his administration. In a moment, what talk about this seeming disconnect with the president National Security advisor, john bolton. First, lets bring in Kristin Fisher in columbus, ohio where President Trump held another of his highly charged rallies last night. Reporter this was President Trumps Second Campaign rally since five of his top National Security officials stood sidebyside sounding the alarm that pressure is continuing to try to interfere in our elections. Yet, at both rallies, Presiden Trump has not backed them up. Weve got to stop meddling and everybody from attacking us. But there were a aa lot. Russia is there, china is they are. Reporter once again, President Trump reviews placing the blame squarely on russia. But he had no problems charging china. China is smart and they know the American Farmers love donald trump. They say, what can we do to stop donald trump . Reporter the retaliatory tariffs are hitting the president s key constituencies. Prompting a bailout for farmers. Made clear, hes feeling the heat. So much for my brandnew beautiful suit. Reporter the president and republicans are also feeling the heat heading into tuesdays special election for ohios 12th congressional district. Its why President Trump came to this district to rally his supporters around was locked in a tight race with democrat danny oconnor. A vote for danny boy and the democrats is about to let criminals and drugs for into
our country and to let ms13 run wild in our communities. Reporter that is exactly what we can expect more of heading into the midterms. This is President Trump third Campaign Rally this week. That case is only expected to accelerate. Chris Kristin Fisher reporting from columbus, ohio. Joining me now is the president s National Security advisor, john bolton. Welcome back to fox news sunday. Glad to be with you. Chris lets begin with breaking news, venezuelan president is calling an Assassination Attempt against him yesterday. Lets put up this video. Pretty striking. The president speaking at a Military Event when drums loaded with explosives exploded. You can see Security Protecting was ballistic blankets and military. Role and unnamed in the united states. These are things hes said before. You have to take them for what theyre worth. If the government of venezuela has hard information that they want to present that would show a potential violation of u. S. Criminal law, we will take a serious look at it. In the meantime, i think what we should really focus on is the corruption and oppression of the regime in venezuela. Chris lets turn to the apparent disconnect between what Trump Administration officials are saying about russian meddling in 2016 and 2018 and what President Trump is saying about the here is how dhs Secretary Nielsen described in the president hours later. Our democracy itself is in the crosshairs. I had a great meeting with putin and we discussed everything. Now we are being hindered by the russian hoax. Its a hoax. Chris ambassador, which is it . Is it a threat to our democracy or is it a hoax . I know theres this narrative in the press that there is a disjunction between the president and the rest of his administration. I got to know eugene mccarthy, the late democratic senator. Used to describe the process as a group of birds sitting on a telephone wire. One would fly off and then theyd all fly off. Thats what this narrative i think is all about. The president knew exactly what was going to be said at that Press Briefing on thursday. Hes the one who directed it be held. It came as a result of a National SecurityCouncil Meeting we held the friday before were the heads of the Operating Agencies who attended on thursday and others, told the president what we were doing. He thought it was important the American People heard directly from the people responsible for
election security at the federal level. In a nonclassified environment. Chris they are saying, this is a clear and present danger, that russia did it in 2016 and are continuing to do it now. You have the secretary of Homeland Security with her hair on fire think democracy is in the crosshairs and you have President Trump think youre being hindered by the russian hoax. That is not the press making that up. Anybody who looks at it has got to see it a difference there. I think what hes saying about the hoax is the idea that the russians directed control of his campaign or administration, that there were some conspiracy or violation of u. S. Line 2016. Chris hes handed down an indictment of 12 military Intelligence Officers of the g are you. Theres no question thats going on. The hoax is the idea that the Trump Campaign was a
beneficiary of a concerted effort together with the russians to affect the 2016 election. As to that, theres no evidence publicly. But everybody who participated in the press Conference Thursday agreed as has the president on several public occasions that the Intelligence Community assessment of russian meddling in 2016 is valid. Chris one of the most powerful ways mr. Trump can try to prevent any meddling in the 2018 election is to stand up in public and call out Vladimir Putin and say, knock it off. I want to go back to helsinki and to the joint summit News Conference there. I have great confidence in my intelligent people. But, i will tell you that President Putin was is cleanly strong and powerful in his denial today. Chris i know you say it was the first issue that President Trump brought up with putin in
that to everybodys been focusing on. Thats who you focused on in your briefing. Rights. Theres no question that russia was the principal violator and their activity this year, puts them in the lead the activity so far at least is down from 2016. But it does not exclude for the potential for others to muddle. And i think the broader issue that i think Christopher Wray talked about in particular of influence efforts that go beyond the specifics of a particular election. I think thats very troubling too. Chris you talk about the media and the idea they all jump off the telephone line. Not everyone but a lot of them. Chris in a much more direct way, the president critiqued the media. Iwant to put up the streets. This tweets. This is one of them. The fake news hates me saying
relationship is typical. Chris we learned north korea continues to produce plutonium. Continues to build new missiles. There are reports that north korea is violating the sanctions by ship to ship transfers. China and russia are stepping up their efforts to ease around the sanctions. At what point does the Trump Administration say that kim is playing us. There he isnt serious about denuclearization and basically call him on this . That point may well, as ive said to you and others before. Theres nobody in this administration starry eyed about the prospects of north korea the nuclear rising. I think the president is giving kim jongun a master class in how to hold the door open for somebody. If the north koreans cant
they retaliated. Now we are talking about 25 percent on 200 billion more in chinese exports and they are threatening tariffs on 60 billion of u. S. Products. Heres larry kudlow. The president is impatient. So yes it to our team, take a look at raising the tariff on them. Last 200. Take a look. Hes impatient. Chris how far is President Trump prepare to go in his standoff with china and if chinese president xi jinping doesnt blink or back down, how long could this go on . I think as larry was in, dont underestimate President Trumps resolve. For decades, china has been the principal malefactor trying to use a free trade aspiration. Most of the rest the world has to pursue mercantilist goals. It steals intellectual
property. Chris how far you prepare to take this . Far enough to get china to change its behaviorand they need to understand that. Chris if they dont . I think the pressure will continue and the president has made that very clear. Chris ambassador bolton, always good to talk with you. When we come back, senator marco rubio joins us exclusively to talk about his push to hit russia if they meddle in our midterms as well as his plans for paid family leave.

offthecuff statements about russia, north korea and iran stand in contrast to the rest of his administration and much of the Republican Party. We want to discuss that with senator marco rubio, a key member of the senate Foreign Relations and intelligence committee. two fox news sunday. Thank you, thanks for having me back. Chris you are trying to get the senate to pass what you call the dieter act which would invoke automatic sanctions against russia or any country that interferes with u. S. Elections. Is what top intelligence officials at the Trump Administration send this week. Russia attempted to interfere with the last election and continue to engage in maligned Influence Operations to this day. Its pervasive, it is ongoing. With the intent to achieve their intent and that is drive
the bill, its the director of national intelligence, not the president who would certify that interference had taken place. Given all the president s talk about the russia hoax, dont you trust him to call out kremlin meddling . I do. Especially if it happens in 2018. Thats part of the bill we will probably have to rework because we want to pass the bill. We want to create an automatic way for sanctions to kick in. There will probably have to be an additional of a president ial waiver. The dni will play a key role. Thats the way we crafted it but the partner im working with, we are willing to make reasonable changes that allows us to pass it and thats probably one of those that weve heardpush back on. We wantto do something done and do whatever it takes to pass a
law that will have real sanctions that will you can house pass past the house and senate. Chris President Trump tweeted this. Attorney general Jeff Sessions should stop this rigged witchhunt right now for it continues to stain our country any further. Afterwords, you said special Counsel Robert Mueller should be allowed to finish his work and all of the truth should come out. In pursuit of that truth, should President Trump sit down with the special counsel to answer any questions about russian collusion, Obstruction Of Justice and what if he refuses and the special counsel get the subpoena . The Second Question is really for the president lawyers. Im not in a position to give legal advice to the president. But let me talk about the first part and that is, this is no mystery. He believes strongly, he says he knows for a fact that he did not collude with the russians
the longterm. I think hes more than willing to tear apart the facilities, as hes got newer ones that work better. I believe, he believes, even if he gets rid of some of the new enrichment capability, he already has existing weapons and existing enriched capabilities that he can hide from the world. Every time he does one of these productions, he is engendering goodwill internationally which is ultimately his goal. To undermine National Support for sanctions by underlining all of these things im doing. Thats his goal in my opinion and i hope hes wrong. Chris it appears to be working. We understand north korea is violating the sanctions by doing ship to ship transfers. We hear that russia is doing business with north korea. They are bringing thousands of more workers into the country who are ineffective slaves to
send money back to the regime. Isnt tim succeeding in lowering the temperature. Breaking apart the alliance of sanctions and President Trump is being played . Neither one of those two things are new. The laborers to russia has been going on in the ship to ship transfer is the only way to evade. I think we need to be becareful about [indiscernible]. The chinese would love for this to be a stepbystep process that drags out. I dont know if the president is being played. I think hes hoping for the best but preparing for the worst. The sanctions remain in place. I think they need to be more cautious about continuing to engage our partners around the world that they are fully aware of whats happening and what Isnt Happening in north korea point whats real and what isnt real. I will have concerns about anything theyve done so far. Chris i want to ask you about one of your other big issues and that is you have introduced legislation to create paid family leave. You take the money that would go to the parents of newborn children from Social Security payments they would get later on. Democrats say the benefit is too small and it shouldnt come out of Retirement Payments and third, most people take family leave for illnesses. Either their own or family members. They dont take it for childbirth. Ivanka trump was a big supporter said theres no chance this is going to happen in this congress. Nothing is going to happen other than the bills that are stacked up and ready to goal. If this is a big issue, its a revolutionary idea and it will take time to pass. Heres what it does, its an option. You dont have to. The benefit is comparable to
what you get in the private sector in terms of paid family leave for the birth of a child. Number three, the concept is this. If you choose to dictate families, at least six weeks, up to 12 weeks. You can decide some of your Retirement Benefits from your money and Social Security, you can advance and take now instead of later. A portion of it. Its a choice, an option you have. For the 85 percent of americans that today have no options at all other than to skip paychecks. How many people can afford to skip one paycheck not to mention 46 after the birth of a child . Chris senator marco rubio, thank you point please come back. Up next, we bring in our sunday group to discuss President Trumps escalating attacks on the media.
