House Intelligence Committee chairman devon nunes joins me now from the world ag expo in california congressman nunes is also a member of the house ways and Means Committee along with the chairman of the Intel Committee so a lot to talked to with you. Mr. Chairman good to see you sir thanks so much for joining us. Thank you, maria great to be on. Maria and there you are coming from the world ag expo with plenty of farmers who no doubt have to be questioning now being forced to pay more to actually get their goods into china, give us your reaction to the aluminum and steel tariffs and this move this past week on china. Well, china is a big problem. We actually are running an investigation on many aspects of china at the house Intelligence Committee and i think most americans know that china is in fact stealing our intellectual property. Theyre spreading globally. They continue to manipulate currencies so china has to be taken on. Im not sure that the aluminum and steel tariffs is the way to do it; however this is the path that the president has outlined for the American People and lets remember, every president has said that theyre going to get tough on people who cheat on trade. This president is actually doing it and so were going to have to as that happens were going to have to watch the markets. I think every trade agreement is going to be negotiated. My recommendation to the white house is to not only just look at tariffs but lets look at where we can actually tear down tariffs too, so perhaps we can take this opportunity to strike trade deals with allies like japan, possibly vietnam, the philippines, other places in asia so that if china does want to get into a trade war, that we can actually begin to open up more trade with their neighbors where theyll take some of our product we grow here in america, reduce those tariffs and bring in some of their products thats how free and fair trade should be done in this country. Maria thats an important point to look at japan, philippines and vietnam. Ill ask Peter Navarro about that coming up because of course hes working on the u. S. Trade policies there but you just said Something Interesting that youve been investigating chinese practices. Up were going to announce that this week are you going to come out with the details of that investigation in this upcoming week . Yeah, we continue to look at the areas that were going to investigate so the way that were looking at it now, maria, is first and foremost, were looking at the military footprint and potential military footprint that chinas trying to put around the globe so this didnt get a lot of fanfare because theres so much attention being paid to the russian fiasco and russian collusion but in the meantime the chinese just opened up a base, a military base in jabuti, at the entrance red sea in heart of the middle east and the independent ran ocean along way away from china. We believe that they are looking at investing in ports and infrastructure around the globe, not just for military capabilities but also to control those governments to have the ability to lobby and manipulate governments, when you invest in things like Financial Markets or the energy sector. Maria yeah, this is a really important, go ahead. Well i think most importantly also, theyre stealing our intellectual property so either its through the internet or its through investing in educational systems here or think tanks. Theyre bringing people here. I believe that they are stealing Silicon Valley blind and in just just a few years the American People are going to possibly be looking to china for new coding and new programs because of everything the chinese are steal ing from here in america. Maria thats right because theyre trying to transfer technology to america to china on some of the most Important Industries of the future. What i was struck by speaking with you before this interview is you have called china a growing National Security threat , so i want to turn to the fbi investigation in a moment but go through why you see china as this growing National Security threat in particular building those military bases all over the world. Well, i mean yeah lets start with that. So i just mentioned theyre building a military base in jabu ti. They are also continuing to put more and more submarines into the oceans. They took over the South China Sea so they built islands that are essentially i call them stationary aircraft carriers all over the South China Sea so why does that matter to people here in california or all over the United States of america . Well its because almost two thirds of the worlds global trade goes through that area, and so if they control the entrance to the red sea and they control the South China Sea very strategic locations i might add, they effectively could cutoff world trade if they wanted to and so i dont see them, you know, nobody wants to have a fight or a war with china or a trade war with china but the fact of the matter is that they are a communist dictatorship. Most of the Major Companies are stateowned enterprizes if youre an american and you try to invest in china you have to make a deal. Some part of the communist party is going to own that deal. If youre not part of the communist party you arent going to own a business so these are the types of things we have to be concerned about especially as they begin not only to advance their military capabilities but also to steal our military secrets and then furthermore, if you look at smaller countries around the globe theyve really made investments into major infrastructure so i mentioned that a little bit earlier but if you come in and the chinese loan you billions of dollars to build a railway or a port, what countries in africa have found out that comes with a price. They then want your vote in the United Nations so these are the types of things why china is such a National Security threat and why i think what youre see ing is if the president can move off of the steel and aluminum threats directly tariff s directly and move into more Holding China accountable and bringing them to the table, we might be able to strike a deal that we havent been able to strike in many decades. Maria this is a really unreported story an under reported story. Im glad you just broke the news that youre actually working on an investigation of all of this and you will have more details for us on that coming soon, so well keep following that congressman. I know there are Ten Industries in china that are deemed off limits for foreigners. You cant even own a joint venture in things like defense and Financial Services and we dont do any of that here in u. S. So well keep watching that but i want to get your take on the other Major Investigation youve been working on and that is of course looking at the fbi and its handling of the Hillary Clinton email investigation as well as this russia collusion story. Last week, we had one of your colleagues on the Program Chairman Bob Goodlatte of the Judiciary Committee and here is what he said. Listen to this. Maria congressman lets be clear there are 1. 2 million documents youve only seen 3000 of them and been stonewalled for five months. We have seen some documents. Weve seen more than we saw from the Obama Administration Justice Department but we need more documents and we need them now and we need them unredacted by the way, maria. Maria if you keep getting stonewalled and you dont get these documents are you going to subpoena these documents . Well the answer is yes. Maria okay, congressman obviously we got the subpoena it went out late last week, Bob Goodlatte broke the news on this program last sunday. If you dont get those documents then what . So if i was chairman goodlatte what i would do quickly because i had to go through this for the last year, fighting department of justice and fbi for documents i think the American People now know that they stonewalled for many many months so he could actually figure out that fusion gps was paid by the Democratic Party and that Clinton Campaign to collude and interact with russians to get dirt on President Trump, that took us a long time to find out and what i would recommend to my colleagues on the house Judiciary Committee and i applaud chairman goodlatte for what hes doing but dont wait so when we get back in two weeks if the 1. 2 million documents arent in the capitol, then what he should immediately move to hold department of justice and the fbi in contempt and if we have to vote on contempt, then we should immediately move to impeach those officials. That would be using the full power of the congress but we cant wait. Weve been waiting and listening for over a year and a half to the democrats in this country, scare the American People, that they have evidence of collusion with russians which they dont. They cant prove it. Theyve been saying it, you have these investigations ongoing, you have fbi officials who have been fired. Congress is a separate branch of government we created the department of justice and the Congress Needs those documents and they need them now, they need them yesterday. Maria well you obviously for all of those reasons shutdown, closed your investigation in potential collusion because you did not find any but i want to go through the findings that you did come up with and report when you announced closing that investigation. What struck you most, because i find it really incredible that special Counsel Robert Mueller is not looking at the collusion that we know that has existed between the democrats and the russians. Wouldnt that be under his perview . Well i think what theres a lot of things that strike me you asked me what strikes me most about the report we released let me start there. What strikes me most is that we had 70 recommendations and findings yet i think you might be the first person to actually cover our recommendations and findings because all of the media thats essentially part of the allied with the Democratic Party ignored. Theyve went out with this narrative that the House Republicans were never interested in doing an investigation, however the opposite is true. We have 70 findings and recommendations so what id start with on that is that lets start with paper balance. Perhaps in this country, we just talked about china, we know that the russians are always up to no good. We better have you go back to using paper balance in this country so we have a way to check and double check that votes are accurate and all votes are counted. I think thats a major finding and recommendation in our report maria i want to talk about that congressman. We also found no collusion between the Trump Campaign but we did find a link between the clinton and Democratic Party to the russians. Maria lets go through those links well take a short break and when we come back congressman nunes stay with us and walk us through some of those, we will talk more about that and then theres this coming up. And when it comes to the dossier that was used by the department of justice to get a warrant against carter page, it was prepared by paid informant of the Democratic Party, a Foreign Agent with ties to russia. It is completely unverified and it should never have been used as the basis for a fisa warrant and i wanted special counsel to look at all of this like mueller s looking at trump. Maria senator Lindsay Graham one of the powerful republican lawmakers now calling for a special counsel. How likely is it follow me on twitter at Maria Bartiromo at sunday futures more with devon nunes after the short break as we look ahead on sunday morning futures well be right back. I thought i was managing my moderate to severe Crohns Disease. Then i realized something was missing. Me. My symptoms were keeping me from being there. So, i talked to my doctor and learned humira is for people who still have symptoms of Crohns Disease after trying other medications. And the majority of people on humira saw significant symptom relief and many achieved remission in as little as 4 weeks. Humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. Serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. Before treatment, get tested for tb. Tell your doctor if youve been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if youve had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flulike symptoms or sores. Dont start humira if you have an infection. Be there for you, and them. Ask your gastroenterologist about humira. With humira, remission is possible. Maria welcome back we are back with california congressman devon nunes chairman of the Intel Committee the chairman of the house Intel Committee that just voted to release the republican majoritys report on the russia investigation which found no evidence of collusion between the president and russia and congressman, i was saying this earlier, if we know that the democrats and the Hillary Clinton Campaign Paid for the dossier then the fbi used the dossier to get a warrant to wire tap the president s team, i mean , shouldnt that be under the group of things that the special counsel looks at since his mandate, Robert Muellers mandate was to find collusion with the russians. Can we ignore it . Well, you could think so, but i have no faith in that process. You know, i supported the Mueller Probe in the beginning but i thought originally they would get into the who did all the leaks, you know, who leaked the conservation between general flynn and the Russian Ambassador maria which was a felony right . Which was a felony. That hasnt been looked at so this is not, to me, theyre just looking at the Trump Campaign. This is a further continuation of what the fbi was doing that started midsummer 2016. Its a continuation of that and look, theres no collusion if they dont have any collusion they ought to come out and say it if they have some collusion then they ought to come out and say it but it seems to me like this is going nowhere fast and in fact lets remember too one of the findings we had is theres an old law on the books thats 200 years old thats never been used called the logan act. This is the reason that they went after general flynn at least the reason they described to congress so one of the findings we have in our report is why do we have the logan act on the books when we month that its selectively enforced so you decided to use it against your political opponent general mike flynn the incoming National Security advisor to President Trump however the Obama Administration who had people over in moscow back in 2008 tal
