FOXNEWSW The Journal Editorial Report February 26, 2017

Editorial report, im paul gigot. That was the president on friday, capping off a tumultuous first month in the white house and coming as the president prepares to address a joint session of congress for the first time. So what can we expect from that high stakes speech on tuesday . Lets ask wall street journal columnist and Deputy Editor dan henninger, columnist kim strassel, Editorial Board member joe rago and Columnist Bill mcgurn. Lets step back before we get into that speech and where are we in terms of how the president has done in this first month . Well, paul, its actually 36 days. I know it feels like a month, if not a year, but were grinding forward, and its been a tumultuous first month. Theres been a lot good to talk about. I mean, some of these executive orders on deregulation, i think, are lifting the stock market without question. But theres been a lot of controversy too, and to my mind, the pivotal event was the botched rollout of the executive order on immigration several weeks ago. That is what propelled a lot of these protests, it energized them, gave the press a lot to talk about, and its kind of been a nonstop battle running alongside the good parts of the Trump Presidency with both the media and with these energized progressive protesters. So its been a wild ride. Paul so, kim, i agree with dan, i agree with dan that was probably the low moment not having vetted that were properly and also galvanized those protests. As for the best moment i guess i have to go with niels nomination. For a lot of people who went out and voted for donald trump that was one of the main reasons to make sure that control was kept not only has he nominated someone that somebody that is hard to find anybody along that. The pipeline orders. One had to get to do with the streams that was designed to shut down. It was a huge hit on the energy industry. Ten more that the house has passed that well have for his desk as well. In some of his nominations have made it through. We are continuing to get executive orders. Is there any lessons from that nomination which seemed to go very well for the broader lessons they tapped them. They said you get the president a list in a campaign and the white house staff was not central to other than the general counsel. He produced a list they were much better prepared as long as they stayed with that list. It was almost unprecedented to have a mandate like that. Yes its very different and it shows the importance of being on top of what you want to do and not leaving a lot of loose ends. There is certainly disagreement. At least six that i count and at least six that i count and of the disagreement. The phrase competing Power Centers has been a media cliche at this point. The management style is to thrive on this chaos. He gets energy from it. Is hes the only one that there could be some benefits to that style Going Forward. A lot of risk also. Another thing is you have the cabinet in but for most of it the subcabinet these guys our home alone and the pentagon have no help. And why is it taking so long to get these people in. This is fairly astonishing. The new a defense as secretary. He was put into his post on day one on inauguration day. We dont have the names yet. Not a secretary. And an assistant secretary. Thats because of disagreements. You have some of the nominees as well who have wanted to put in entirely their own teams and looked very widely in terms of that. There is disagreement and holding it up. And the government and new Reform Efforts because theres nobody there to implement trumps ideas. I want you all to know that we are fighting the fake news. Its funny, its fake. A few days ago i called the fake news the enemy of the people and they are. They are the enemy of the people. As they have no sources they just make them up when there are none. It is a familiar strategy. President bush would never had used that kind of language at least not in public. Does that work politically. I met my wife at sea pack. The more important thing is is mike pence who said were and the business of keeping promises and what Going Forward what do they need. They need a salesman and the white house. They need to pick what kind of Health Care Plan they will pick. That is what maybe we will see next week. Nt needs to be an explainer at the congressional event. He needs to make a decision. Where are they on the border tax and the house tax reform bill. Congress needs direction it needs president ial leadership in order to move any kind of legislation and until they come out with some definitive statements presumably on paper nothings can happen. There is mark still head. President trump lashing out at the fbi. We will ask the former attorney general. To your retir, youll always be absolutely. Clear. Its your retirement. Know where you stand. What would help is simply being able to recognize a fair price. Truecar has pricing data on every make and model, so all you have to do is search for the car you want, there it is.

Toujeo® helps me stay on track with my blood sugar. Ask your doctor about toujeo®. Paul President Trump lashed out at the fbi said they are totally unable to stop the National Security leaguers that leakers that have permeated our government for a long time. Classified information is being given to the media that could have a devastating effect on the u. S. They, amid reports. As a chief of staff have with Bureau Officials in a New York Times article. On the ties to russia. He served as the 81st attorney attorney general of the United States. He joins me now. How concerned should we be about leaks in government. I think generally we should be pretty concerned they have gone on an accelerated basis. The press cant be relied upon not to print things. Its asking for people to restrain themselves. Its asking for a lot. Here is a question i have. Democracy needs transparency and it is can happen in every ministration has the same issue. And they never stop. Can he really do much about it. They really divide into a couple of categories. Or even newsworthy. Two somebody. Does he never sat. The ship of state is the only ship that leaks from the top. They expose were simply because if you know the surrounding circumstances you know the setting disclose national secrets. How it is that we eavesdrop on foreign governments. What about the leaks that were the transcripts of the discussions with the Russian Ambassador. They have a court order to listen in on that Russian Ambassador and he wouldve been incidental collection unless it was an actual order to listen to him. But leaks of those transcripts are very rare. And also sometimes dangerous because it depended again on the setting in which the conversation took place they may be now where more than they were before. That said i think at this point it would be helpful to everybody to disclose the entire transcript of that conversation and we end the speculation. They claim to see the transcripts who report what they are told. Let the actual transcripts. Lets move to the fbi in this discussion with the white house. Is it kosher legally or just an ethical terms for a white house chief of staff to discuss with the fbi director issues concerning what they may have told the New York Times. It is kosher for him to try. Its not kosher for them to respond if they told the New York Times. Obviously they should not be telling the New York Times. So many people say the Justice Department is independent of the white house. There is a line that you dont want to cross ism and you would not note because you were sitting in a chair when the white house called you up and says something the instructions we put in place said there were only two people that could communicate with the people on the particular investigations. The white house counsel. And those two people where the attorney general and the Deputy Attorney general. If you were at the white house chief of staff and why is that. Why would you cordon that off. You dont want the white house exercising political they have the authority to free people and trade people. As a different thing. But when the white house tries to lean on this Justice Department to do something or to stop doing something or when the u. S. Senators do as has happened. Then you have to have a bright line that says the unassisted u. S. Attorney. When they get a call like that. I will refer to the person who contacted you. We have this executive order that was overturned but the ninth circuit. That is of course up to the ninth circuit. What we would need to do is to carve out people who have visas and people who had green cards but in point of fact i believe the president has the authority to bar people we have the Inherent Authority based on his powers. And he has explicit Authority Based on the sanctions that congress passed. Were any class of people. I agree with you. The ninth circuit doesnt. They will have to narrow it in a way. And hopefully people who took down this notion that has a religious test basis for it. Thats ridiculous. When we come back as Administration Announces plans to step up deportation efforts as a public is a Public Safety necessity or enforcement overkill. We are getting the bad ones out.

Nt. I love to see businesses that just started from ground up grow into further success. It just feels good to know that im helping someone else. My first goal is to learn about their business, what theyre currently doing in their advertising. Pull some research, create a great story. Trying to figure out some way of building some kind of trust in a very quick moment. You have to love to work with people. Our goal, without a doubt, is that all customers are satisfied before they leave. He won the Trump Administration is stepping up its border enforcement issues. John kelly releasing a pair of memos flushing out the immigration authority. Any undocumented immigrant who has committed even a misdemeanor could be subject to arrest detention and removal from the United States. That also calls for an additional 5,000 Border Patrol agents during a visit to mexico on thursday kelly insisted that there will be no mass deportations. Let me be very clear there will be no mass deportations, everything we do and dhs will be done legally and according to human rights in the legal Justice System of the United States. The focus of deportations would be on the criminal element that have made it into the United States. We are back with dan. You heard the Homeland Security secretary. They have read to find in this order. To be anybody who has fake documents. In principle i find it hard to object to enforcing the law. Its the other thing they dont know. On the other hand is the info structure being built. We will have to see what he really mean. If they do decide that they will deport anybody who goes through a red light it will be usually expensive. I think there are a lot of bad people that are here doing bad things having 4 billion a year just for the ice agents it does not include the cost of extra judges. Theres a there is a backlog for these. And then you have the ball. If you look at the deportation the average weight as Something Like 600 days. To get your case resolved. Its a larger and more intrusive enforcement mechanism in government. What about the politics of this. I guess it fulfills a campaign promise. Do the Donald Trump Voter support this. He also didnt repeal the dreamers executive order by obama but affecting those children who came to the United States as children brought by their parents. And is very interesting because i think that wouldve created a much bigger uproar. You ask about the politics. It is in fact how closely donald trump is if finding to public sentiments. When you ask most people about whether or not you think he should deport criminals thats a pretty widely held view. Pretty popular among america at this idea of those who forge documents as well. You lose a lot of support on this question of dreamers and also the idea of mass deportations and going into secret spots like churches to get people. They were very careful about seeing those sort of things would happen. Dan, what about the blowback in mexico this week. President trump sent the Homeland Security. They did not get a very good reaction. It was pretty chilly. And the mexicans protested and now they are saying were going to link any help we make on the security to any discussions we head about the north American Free trade agreement. Lets look at this you could not had designed a better team to go down there and talk to the mexicans then generally john kelly. Have of all have a ball of latin and south america. And rex tillerson. With extensive business interest on their is the highest level. Theyre down there trying to negotiate their way through some of the tensions that have been created while the same day President Trump is talking to manufacturing executive same if we have a relationship with mexico its good if we dont then we dont. I think this does raise the question of whether indeed they want to have a relationship with mexico or he would just be just as happy to have them go their own way. I know there are dire applications for that. He may not want relationship with mexico. Mexico well had one with us. I think President Trump in the nine states have an interest in a prosperous mexico. If you dont want people illegally coming over. The of contradictory threads. Dont be surprised if they decide to use the americans as a foil in mexico and have a counter reaction. There is more still ahead. He picks a military strategist for his National Security advisors. And what will he bring. General jack keane knows him well. He will tell us next.
