Transcripts For FOXNEWSW Special Report With Bret Baier 2019

President trump thinks his biggest asset and trying to get a deal with china is the strength of the u. S. Economy. Entering the leverage that strength to get a deal across the finish line. Giving the industrial average of 100 billion haircut. For the second day in a row, the market swooned over fears that the u. S. China trade deal is getting further away, not closer. President trump threatening to raise tariffs on chinese goods later this week accusing china of reneging on items they have already agreed to. I dont know how you get china to stop cheating on this until somebody stands up to them. I am all for getting a good deal. Theyve been cheating for decades now, and this is the lifetime where they take the business. Chinese officials will be in washington this week for better or for worse, a final round of talks. The chinese remain optimistic. We hope that the u. S. Can still Work Together with china and meet us halfway. Address each others legitimate concerns and strive to reach an agreement of Mutual Benefit and winwin on the Mutual Respect and economy. Some democrats were critical of the threat to raise tariffs. Tariff policy by tweet does not work. And we have had two years of experience. It keeps getting worse and worse and worse. Speak of the Senate Minority leader all flinched sharply at odds with President Trump is in lockstep with the president on this front. Over the last few decades, china has stolen trillions of dollars and tens of millions of jobs from this country. We have to be strong with them, any time they detect weakness, they take advantage. So i believe that we ought to hang tough. The agreement on china was a rare departure. Chuck schumer and other democrats highly critical of the white houses latest noncompliance with the congressional subpoena. This one over documents the House Judiciary Committee demanded from don mcgann. In a letter to chairman jerrold nadler, the Current White House counsel writing that the white house records remain legally protected from disclosure under longstanding constitutional principles. Because they implicate significant executive branch confidentiality interests and executive privilege. Don mcgann does not have the legal right to disclose these documents and jerry nadler does not have the legal right to see them. The announcement only addressed document production, not that testimony to the committee tentatively scheduled for may 21st. If the white house tries to keep him from testifying, the matter could end up in court. As could yesterdays denial by the treasury secretary to release the president s tax returns. On the tax returns, the treasury secretary said that congress has no legitimate legislative purpose to return the tax returns, and it was made after the democrats accuse the department of justice becoming a bodyguard for the president. Inviting republican senators here to the white house to talk about immigration policy, what can you tell us about that . We had 12 senators over in the room yesterday and discussed the framework for what he would like to see with regards to immigration reform, they are six goals, fully secure the border, protect american wages, maintain the brightest and the best minds in the world, look at Labor Industries and reserve humanitarian values, two big components, first will be a security bill, build a wall, and secure the border. And then number two, to implement a meritbased system of illegal immigration. The white house is in the talking phase right now. No timetable for legislation. But they want to get some ideas and try to build support. Bret heavy left with the democratic house. You would think. Bret you would think. U. S. Employers advertise 7. 5 million jobs at the end of march, that is up almost 5 percent from the previous month. Or they are now 1. 2 million more open jobs than there are unemployed americans. We are just hours away from a scheduled vote in the House Judiciary Committee on whether to hold attorney general william barr in contempt over his refusal to release an unredacted addition of the Mueller Report and other evidence including grand jury material. There seems to be at least a rhetorical split between barr and his fbi director, whether the government spied on the trump president ial campaign. Chief intelligence correspondent Catherine Herridge shows us tonight. Think you for your presence here. During a routine budget hearing, a Senate Democrat asked a wideranging question about fbi tactics with the director using the spying language as his boss, the attorney general. That is not the term that i would use. I would say that it is a no. I believe fbi is involved in an investigative activity that include surveillance activity. Last month barr said that spying was on the Trump Campaign. Leading to political pushback in the media frenzy. Last week barr stood by his choice of language. I think that spying is a good english word that does not have synonyms, because it is the broadest word and incorporating all forms of Covert Intelligence collections. During the 2016 campaign, the fbi Security Surveillance were imported Trump Campaign aid carter page that allows for communications collection well beyond the original target. When press director ray answered carefully saying the Inspector General investigation into a the alleged surveillance during the 2016 campaign. Do you have any evidence that any illegal surveillance into the campaign or individuals associated with the campaign by the fbi occurred . I dont think i personally have any evidence of that sort. As tensions between the Justice Department and the Judiciary Committee escalate over access to the full special report and underlying records, the senior democrat shot back after the Senate Majority leader said that the dems cant let go. It is over. You are saying it is a meltdown. An absolute meltdown. Mitch mcconnell is aiding and abetting it by refusing to do anything. It may be what trump once, wanting the russians to participate in telling them to do nothing. To the House Judiciary Committee is poised to vote wednesday morning, because the Justice Department has not included the entire mueller rept including grand jury material that would require a court order, reporters engage with Committee Staff unreasonable terms on the attorney general, bret. Bret President Trump is livid over some reports that outside groups are trying to profit over the president s name and white house bid. A source close to the campaign tells fox news that the president believes it is unconscionable for people to be told that they are donating to his campaign and then to be built out of their money. This comes in the wake of a media report about president ial coalition, a group run by former Trump Campaign adviser david bossi. The group raise millions of dollars but only spent a county fraction on candidates. No comment from the organization or from david bossi yet. The highest approval mart since taking office. And that is posing a difficult challenge for the two dozen democrats vying for a chance to take among us here next year. Peter doocy looks at why the president s numbers are up, and how democrats especially on the campaign trail are dealing with that. They are so Many Democrats running for president even the most experienced operatives are having a hard time keeping track. This is all 22 no, this is the 22 candidates that are running. And all 20 to face a tall order, President Trumps Approval Rating is climbing. 45 is at 46 according to gallup, his highest ever. Higher than barack obama at this point in his first term. President trump continues to rise on the polls as americans everywhere take note of his historic accomplishments, black unemployment at 6. 7 right now, lower than the obama or bush years. What the hell are they going to do to beat that . Joe biden is trying, he spent a front runner with a black congregation in South Carolina. How is South Carolina to your path . Critical. Mayor Pete Buttigieg was not such a draw, he scheduled a meet and greet in orangeburg, a city that is 76 black, but only a dozen people of color showed up in a crowd of more than 100. How do you plan to speak to africanamerican voters specifically . Part of it is a by laying out an agenda on the issues that black voters are asking me about most often. Lemaire bade a big year insisting that god is not a republican. Its also important that we stop seeing religion used as god belonging to a political party. And if he did, i cannot imagine that it would be the one that the current president is in in the white house. Mayor pete is having up problem denting his lead, reading that biden strength fueled by perception on his electability. And now he is comfortable enough in the lead to laugh off the controversy that assumed the run up to his campaign. [laughter] that is very nice, thank you. Joe bidens lead over other democrats as lead, but crowds at the events arent. There was extra space for supporters to move around at todays event in nevada, staged at a union hall, much smaller than venues regularly filled out by the candidate right behind him, bernie sanders. Bret all right, peter, thank you. Tonight we continue the spotlight on the democratic contenders, 44yearold andrew yang, a lawyer turned entrepreneur who actually declared his candidacy for the presidency back in november of 2017. Andrew yang joins us tonight from new york. Thank you for being here. It is great to be here. Thank you for having me, bret. Bret you have already qualified for the first debate stage with more than 170,000 individual donors, that was one of the stipulations. You are already on that stage. I want to ask you about peters piece that you just heard about the economy. If you look at the average of recent polls, President Trumps Approval Rating when it comes to the economy is 54 . The average of recent polls, if you look at the economic changes since he took office, you have gdp growth going up to 3. 2, Unemployment Rate to down 3. 6 . Consumer confidence. Of the average Hourly Earnings are up significantly. How do you make your case that to that is not the right horse to ride as you go around the country talking about the economy . There have certainly been some rosy numbers that have come out recently, but they do not reflect the daytoday situation of Many Americans around the country. And if you look at numbers that reflect Financial Health of most americans, 78 of americans say they are living paycheck to paycheck, 40 could not afford an unexpected 400 bill. And donald trump when he was running as a candidate talked how misleading the headline unemployment number is which does not reflect Labor Force Participation at a multidecade low, the same as ecuador and costa rica. Or underemployment which is rampant. Almost 1 out of 2 graduates are in a job that does not require a degree. There is a lot of population that is struggling in the economy that has been charged up some want to buy a tax cut. Most of which the benefits went to shareholders and stockholders instead of workers. Bret even at the New York Times and the Washington Post say that a lot of people across america got the benefits of that tax cut, but to take your point, your big Campaign Movement is a universal basic income. And to look at the facts, you guarantee 1,000 a month, 12,000 a year eligible to u. S. Citizens over 18, welfare recipients would choose between payment or current benefits. Paid 10 value out of tax taking place in 2021. How do you make that work . We are in the midst of the greatest economic and technological transformation in the history of our country. What experts are calling the fourth industrial revolution. One of the reasons why donald trump won in 2016 is that we automated away for a Million Manufacturing jobs in michigan, ohio, pennsylvania, wisconsin. I know we will do the same thing to millions of retail jobs, call center jobs, Truck Driving jobs, and on and on through the economy. Americans have looked up and seeing that amazon is paying zero and federal taxes, much less the most american families, the way that we can make the dividend of 1,000 a month work is by harnessing the gain from innovations in new technologies that are being enjoyed by Companies Like amazon, google, uber, facebook, and on and on. So the biggest challenge in the democratic field according to the polls as a former vice president. And heres how he on the campaign trail talks about jobs. That will be my measure of economic success, and my dad would find a job and he would say, joey, a job is all about a lot more than a paycheck, it is about dignity, respect, your place in the community. Bret how do you answer that . You are taking away that dignity, that respect of having a job. The freedom dividend is prowork, putting that money into american hands, that would circulate over and over through their neighborhoods and communities. It would create more than 2 million jobs around the country and would also recognize a lot of the work that is being done in our families and communities that is not being recognized by the market. Which includes people like my wife who is at home with our two children, one of whom is autistic. And right now though market values her work at zero. So the freedom dividend is prowork, it would create jobs and opportunities for many more americans to be able to do the kind of work that they want to do in their communities every day. Bret you know the big question whenever you talk like this, a checklist of things, not only the universal basic income, green new deal, free or reduced Community College tuition and a pathway to citizenship for illegal immigrants, if you look at the u. S. Debt clock tonight, it is over 22 trillion, people say that just the universal basic income could cost 30 trillion, 40 trillion when you go out and you project out. So people really want to know, how do you pay for this without taking us over the ledge . The great thing about the freedom dividend is that that money does not disappear, he goes into our hands, the hands of the american people. Of the trickle up autonomy from families and communities up. And local businesses and main street economies will be much stronger as a result. But again, if you want to try to balance the budget, which i agree we need to do. We need to look at who the biggest winners are in this economy and so Companies Like amazon and netflix are paying zero in federal taxes, of course he will have big deficits. We have to join every other advanced economy in the world and have a mechanism that prevents trillion Dollar Companies from paying zero in taxes which is why i am proposing a valueadded tax that every other major economy has artie adopted. Bret i want to ask you two more things, current news this week, iran, it looks like they are Credible Threats, at least the Intelligence Community is saying that. What do you do if they start acting up . Start kicking up possibly Nuclear Production again, and continues to fund terrorist in the middle east . We need to rebuild our partnerships around the world including in the middle east, and certainly if iran is violating its obligations under an agreement to curtail their nuclear activity, we would have to respond very strongly, but the goal would be to sorry about that . Bret you will be getting back into the Iran Nuclear Deal . That would be the goal, because we get a lot more done when we engage with people including people that we disagree with very, very, very passionately, but we need to engage with those parties if you want them to take or stop certain behaviors that we want to put a stop to ourselves. Spill last thing, you are at an event, you add a hat that said mass, make america think again. And you said you wanted to have a powerpoint at the state of the union, you got cheers there, and you may have to talk to the house of representatives, im not sure if they are ready for it. What i was suggesting is that we need to put up facts and figures about what is most important to american citizens, which is the health of our children, Mental Health and freedom from substance abuse, average income and affordability, because as donald trump, the candidates had on the trail when he was running in 2016, the numbers we have may not reflect what is going on in the community. Bret andrew yang, we appreciate your time, we will be following you throughout the campaign trail. Thank you so much, bret. Bret fox news takes you inside the United Nations refugee camp for venezuelans fleeing their country. Here are some of the fox affiliates around the country, fox 31 and deborah, when youre looking live coming youre looking live at the scene of a School Shooting have been late this afternoon, Work Together<\/a> with china and meet us halfway. Address each others legitimate concerns and strive to reach an agreement of Mutual Benefit<\/a> and winwin on the Mutual Respect<\/a> and economy. Some democrats were critical of the threat to raise tariffs. Tariff policy by tweet does not work. And we have had two years of experience. It keeps getting worse and worse and worse. Speak of the Senate Minority<\/a> leader all flinched sharply at odds with President Trump<\/a> is in lockstep with the president on this front.

Bret welcome back to the white house. A former Army Lieutenant<\/a> convicted of murdering a terrorist suspect in iraq has been pardoned by President Trump<\/a>. The Trump Administration<\/a> citing broad support for Michael Behenna<\/a>. National security advisor Jennifer Griffin<\/a> tells us why the soldier was convicted in the first place and what led to the pardon. As soon as he heard of his pardon, former Army First Lieutenant<\/a> Michael Behenna<\/a> acknowledge President Trump<\/a>. I cannot think President Trump<\/a> enough for his act of mercy, Michael Behenna<\/a> said in a statement. The full pardon came hours after he hosted the west Point Football Team<\/a> at the white house. A military court had sentenced to Michael Behenna<\/a> to 25 years in prison for unpremeditated murder in iraq in 2008. During his trail, Michael Behenna<\/a> took a suspected al qaeda prisoner to a railroad trail stripping him naked and questioning him about a roadside bombing that killed two members of his platoon.

It seems that a week really passes without word of a new massive data breach subjecting your personal information to cyber thieves. So should Congress Step<\/a> in . Or will government information only make a bad situation worse . Fox Business Network<\/a> Hillary Vaughn<\/a> takes a look tonight from capitol hill. Congress is cracking down alan delay mack on companies who hoard user data after the European Data<\/a> pass the laws that protects people from having their data stashed away forever and shared without their consen. But lawmakers on capitol hill are thinking about going a step further. Do you think that that will fix the issue for us . It is an important step, but it is not adequate. Basically because of the problem of consent. How do you consent to something that you do not understand . How can you withhold consent on the world where you have to have to be online. Both republicans and democrats agree that Data Collection<\/a> needs to be reined in and companies that breach need to suffer real consequences. Not to pick on facebook, their user agreement has been improved, but for the longest time you could hide a dead body in there and nobody would find it. Democrats say some company is responsible for the massive data breaches have escaped financially unscathed, and that should change. To the fcc will come out a little bit later, sometime in the next couple of weeks and doa few billion dollar fine on facebook. Facebook makes 18 million a quarter, top line revenue. If we do not find a way to put some rules of the road in place, you think that you are getting hosed now . I know i am getting hosed no now. One witness on the panel recommended jail time for companies that exploit the user data for fraud, and democratic senator jon tester said he is so fed up with the lack of Digital Privacy<\/a> that he is throwing away a smartphone when he gets out of the senate. Bret Hillary Vaughn<\/a> on capitol hill, thanks. Lawmakers far over the Senate Majority<\/a> leaders contention that it is case closed on the mueller investigation.

I dont want to hear about insurance. cause lets be honest. Nobody likes dealing with insurance. Right . See, esurance knows its expensive. I feel like im giving my money away. So theyre making it affordable. Thank you, dennis quaid. Youre welcome, guy in kitchen. I named my character walter. Thats great. Id tell you more but i only have thirty seconds so heres a dramatic shot of their tagline so youll remember it. When insurance is affordable, its surprisingly painless. This is not what we are saying about the Democratic Party<\/a> in recent days. They told everyone there was a conspiracy between russia and the Trump Campaign<\/a>. Yet on the central question, the special counsels finding is clear. Case closed. Case closed. That is just not a fact. The case is not closed. Of course he wants to move on, he wants to cover up. He wants to silence on one of the most serious issues we face, whether a foreign power can manipulate our elections. Bret a lot of talk about the Mueller Report<\/a>, this is we are hours away from a decision by the chairman of the House Judiciary Committee<\/a> larry nadler whether they are going to vote on a contempt charge against the attorney general william barr, republican saying that the democrats could have seen more of the report if they wanted to. 95 of this report was already unredacted. What do they think they are going to get . And i would ask mr. Nadler, the chairman why he has not bothered to go down and look to see if theres any value in that other 5 , because that is been a maid available to him. Spillman will start their with the panel. The Washington Examiner<\/a> with me at the white house, National Political<\/a> correspondent of national radio, and chief of the freedom begin. A lot of pieces here, but lets start about the contempt to vote to pay looks like they are going to go ahead, we are waiting for the final decision if the congress decides that barr is in contempt, then it might go to court. That could take a very long time. The president is resisting a lot of subpoenas across the board. He has decided to fight. Thats what he likes to do, so it looks like we are having a separation of powers conflict. Bret yes. The thing is this fight between barr and the House Judiciary Committee<\/a> is basically kind of dumb at the basis of it. We know that certain parts of the Mueller Report<\/a> were redacted for various reasons because of classified information and because of information about ongoing cases and because of grand jury information. And that attorney general said i will uncover everything except the grand jury information, and you can come over and read it. And doug collins the ranking republican date go over and read it. He read almost everything and certainly almost everything in volume two, and he said that it really did not change anything. And jerrold nadler, the chairman will not go read it, refuses to go read it, and releasing barr with contempt, and the attorney general cannot do on his own because it requires a court order to do. Bret it could be delayed and delayed as you get back up into an election, and to the other from capitol hill, saying clearly the Mueller Report<\/a> and all of the activities around it or not a winning issue for democrats on the campaign trail. And the speaker the house nancy pelosi said this about impeachment. Trump is goading us to impeach him. Thats what he is doing. Every single day he is just like taunting, taunting, taunting. Because he knows that it would be very divisive. So we cant impeach him for political reasons, and we can to not impeach him for political reasons. Bret that is a new argument. That is a catch22. Nancy pelosi is watching this tightrope, like a gymnast, on the one hand, the base wants her to impeach donald trump, but on the other hand, the public does not. So she has to give her basically appearance that the democrats are doing everything they can close to impeachment, but not actually crossing the line. On the other hand, she knows that the second she does that the public will turn against her. So i dont know if nancy pelosi is actually capable of walking the tight rope. Thats why you get clumsy phrases like the one today. Bret if you pulled progressives in her own party, a large percentage would say, go ahead. Full speed on impeachment, speaking of rhetorical back and forth, to spy or not to spy. Spying versus surveillance, take a listen. When fbi agents conduct investigations against alleged mobsters, terrorists, other criminals, are they engaged in spying . That is not the term that i would use. A lot of people have different colloquial phrases, i believe that the fbi is engaged in investigative activity and part of that include surveillance activity, different shapes and sizes. Do you have any evidence that any illegal surveillance into the campaigns or individuals associated with the campaigns by the fbi occurred . I do not personally have any evidence of that sort. Bret there is the fbi director or counter to the attorney general who said using the word spying, and all of the investigations is what everybody is waiting for. Clearly director ray, spying as a conjured of term, suggesting something inappropriate happened. He is talking about surveillance ordered by judge multiple times. Hopefully Michael Horwitz<\/a> is going to lay this all out for us, but spying is a term that President Trump<\/a> uses to say that it was illegal, but what was talked about today was a look at, this is a kind of thing that the fbi should be investigating, but the agent of foreign power based on the campaign. Bret splitting hairs here rhetorically, whether delphis operation was something that the fisa judges did not know was real. It is all person, if you look at the actual facts, they did wiretap carter page, it was approved wiretapped, but it was a wiretap. They use a confidential informant, the College Professor<\/a> to seek information on paige and george papadopoulos. And they used an undercover agent who went by the alias as a turk to tease information out of george papadopoulos. That was undercover. If you have undercover agents and wiretaps, a lot of people would say that that is the stuff of spying. Clearly there is a rhetorical battle, but these facts are what they are. Bret but not what we do not know, hopefully the reports will illuminate that. We will stand by, next up china trade talks in the u. S. Moving military assets closer to iraq. With advil liquigels, youll ask. What stiff joints . What bad back . Advil is. Relief thats fast. Strength that lasts. Youll ask. What pain . With advil liquigels. Can we talk .

If we actually have a trade war, it will be bad for the whole world. And could be very bad diff pending on the outlook. I dont know how you get china to stop cheating unless somebody stands up to them. So i am all for getting a good deal. Addings tariffs will not solve problems. It is normal for them to have differences. The tariff policy by tweet does not work. And we have had two years of experience about that and it gets worse and worse and worse. We have to be strong with them. Any time they detect weakness they take advantage. So i believe that we ought to hang tough. Bret mixed messages from democrats on the issue of tariffs and china, this is the dow. The market took a big dive for a while bouncing back a little bit at the end. The markets going on all of the news as a chinese delegation comes here to washington. We are back with the panel. All of that optimism kind of went away with the president s tweets and some of the messages. But they are still coming, the chinese delegation. They are still coming even though the president and his advisors say at midnight on thursday they will raised tariffs and put more on. Because they think that to the chinese have tried to back away from some decisions they were going to make. To the president and his team thinks the u. S. Economy is Strong Enough<\/a> to withstand any hit they get from the tariffs and they think that the chinese economy is weaker, it is a real standoff and we will see who blinks first. Bret it is something to see Chuck Schumer<\/a> say hold the line. Ensured that the president is happy to hear that, this is one tariff issue in which the president has his strongest support. He made a lot of people in washington very unhappy, both parties when he was talking about tariffs with canada, mexico, europe, but on china there is a large agreement on the abuses that have brought us to this point, and when you have lindsey graham, and you have Charles Schumer<\/a> telling the president to hang tough, i think that the president is going to hang tough on this. Bret we will see if it changes the dynamics in that room as they come to conclusion, i want to turn to iran, and we have this strike move to the persian gulf, b52 bombers, the secretary of state going to iraq to assure them, and we have their back even if they act against the u. S. Interests in iraq, it seems like tensions or building. Tensions are building, i think illustrating two things, the first is that designating the Iran Revolutionary<\/a> guard corps, a terrorist organization and also ending the waivers on sales of petroleum against allies had real bite, so the iranians arent trying to go back to the negotiating table or some price in terms of national security. And this illustrates just how hard it is for america to extricate ourselves from the middle east. Now the policy of two demonstrations. Trying to get us back and you see by the uranium moves how difficult that is because of the regions importance, strategically. Not only the allies are there, but the net neutrality, geographically, and resources that we may not need because we are energy independent, but our allies definitely do. Bret it is another interesting coalition, you have a statement saying that he is worried that the Trump Administration<\/a> is pulling the u. S. Into a war in the middle east. It depends on what happened and how the confrontation escalates or does not escalate. We are sending warships and resources over there, what do the iranians do . Do they totally pull out . That is one thing they have talked about start producing material again, then it escalates. Bret a lot of hot spots at the same time, north korea, venezuela, iran, not to mention what is left in syria and the rest. You have to worry about how it will play out, matthew is right about the revolutionary guard, and also you have to remember the oil sanctions, we have stopped giving anybody a waiver for buying oil, just putting pressure on them. But how does this actually end . Bret panel, thank you. When we come back, going the extra mile for a blind classmate. Limu emu doug mmm, exactly Liberty Mutual<\/a> customizes your car insurance, so you only pay for what you need. Nice but uh, whats up with your partner . Oh we just spend all day telling everyone.
