Transcripts For KDSM Fox News Sunday With Chris Wallace 20151108

We went and served and were injured, and now were playing these songs together. All right now on fox news sunday. Still more signs point to a bomb causing the crash that killed the 224 people on board. Russia reportedly asking the fbi to help with forensic analysis and suspending all flights to egypt. Connor pyle is live with the latest. Connor . Chris, the evidence continues to mount supporting both the british and american theory that there was a bomb aboard this russian metrojet plane. Now a top egyptian investigator said a noise from a, quotes, undetermined source was heard on the black box recording immediately before the aircraft went down. That sound likely a bomb according to most analysts. Earlier in the week, the pentagon also said they detected a sudden and heat blast, however, Authorities Say its way too early to draw any conclusions, and even american officials are hedging their by this says 90 with certainly it was a bomb. The joint investigation New York Times reporting, though, the fbi is also helping with forensic analysis. Given the increased tensions between washington and the kremlin, this is a rare cooperation between the two. Now, isis or an eye saysaffiliated group seems to be the most likely suspect, but chris, given the lack of information about what type of bomb it was or how it got on board and through Airport Security makes it a real mystery about who exactly the people who carried out this attack were. Conor powell, reporting from the region, thanks for that. We wanted to discuss the growing possibility of a terror attack with michael mccaul. He joins us from the Reagan Library in california where hes attending a Reagan National defense forum. Chairman, whats the latest intel on the down intel on the latest. We have is the reporting itself, which indicates there was an explosion on the aircraft. When you couple that with the satellite technology, this flash of heat on the airplane, is the fact that isis has declared war on russia, this was a russian plane headed for russia, in addition to the u. S. And uk intelligence that we have received, i think ought indicators are pointing to the fact this was isis putting a bomb on an airplane. So a week after this terrible incident, what do you think of the likelihood it was a bomb, a terror attack. Ive a high degree of confidence it was. Its been my gut all along as we looked at the facts, the region itself, the fact they want to hit the russians, i must say this is a new chapter to isis. Typically we looked at al qaeda in the Arabian Peninsula as the premier bomb maker, if you will, hitting the aviation sector, their crown jewel, but now youre looking at isis now putting bombs on airplanes, which concerns me greatly, not just for russian airlines, but aye frankly americanbound flights into the United States. I want to pick up on that in a second. You use a term of art there, in fact, a high degree of confidence. What does that mean when you say that . Well, thats based upon the intelligence reports out there, based on the black box reporting, based on the satellite imagery, and based on the fact that isis has declared war against russia, now that russia has set foot in syria, Security Problems in and of themselves, this is comparable, i would think, to a 9 11 for them that they have to deal with. So i think you put all these factorses together, in all the officials i have talked to, i think everything is pointing towards the fact this was an isisrelated attack. The question is, how did the bomb get on the airport. Theres a lot of theory that this possibly could have been an inside job at the airport to put the luggage in the hull of the aircraft. Let me pick occupy that aspect right away. The department of Homeland Security has announced increased security, especially at foreign airplanes, especially at mideast airports and unnamed tightening of securities at some domestic airports. Thanksgiving is only a couple weeks ago, 25 million americans will be flying over the i talked to the secretary at the forum yesterday, and admirable neffinger, the tsas new administrator, i think they are being proactive. They are the last points of departure airports, flights coming into the United States, ramping up security, both screening, but also vetting employees for the insider threat, and also looking at highthreat risk sflaef airports in addition to those where we can coordinate with host countries to better upd. A. Grade their security. Sharm el sheikh does not have the best screening process in place, we think this is probably how this happened. I want to get into that. I think its fair to say we focus as a nation overwhelmingly on passengers and their bags, what happens out front, but people are now talking increasingly about the threat and especially at foreign airports through the back door, other personnel, caterers, that they are able to have access to the plane and could plant a bomb on board a plane, having nothing to do with the passengers. How big a threat is that . How big a security lapse is that both overseas and domestically . Its a huge threat and we think this is likely how it got on to this airplane. They could be is bribed or radicalized enough to. In puerto rico we have many cases of is it corruption, putting drugs and weapons on planes inbound. It wouldnt take a lot to put a well. Homeland security standpoint, were worried about the planes coming into the United States. I will say this, if i could add, being at the Reagan Library, peace through strength is what when you project weakness throughout the if world in a failed foreign policy, this is what you get. Now we have chaos in the middle east, isis taking over iraq, syria and northern africa, egypt, now we have the russians in there. And its presented a very complicated strategy moving forward in terms of protecting the American People. Well, let me ask you about that, because i think its fair to say that president obama has primarily dealt with isis up until now pass a regional threat, as a group that was primarily interested in creating a caliphate across the middle east and north africa. If theyre responsible for what would in effect by the worst act of air terrorist s snce 9 11, doesnt that change the nature of the threat from isis . Well, you know, again he called it the team, but now were seeing isis bring down airplanes with bombs, which is as you said, the greatest aviation, terrorist event since 9 11. What i want to see, whats interesting is what the russian response will be. Their target packages have been primarily to prop up assad and his regime in the region, not to goisis. Weve seen in the last couple days, though, attacks now, air strikes in raqqa going against isis. The sad fact is, because of weve had a failed policy and failed leadership, now were having to rely on russians and the iranians to go into syria to fight and destroy isis. And thats kind of where we are today. I think, again, its this weakness invites aggression. We have not handled this right. We havent done anything. We havent made decisions in the region in terms of a strategy, and when you dont have a strategy, you fail. I think were seeing this unfold before our very eyes. We have seen how putin has chechnya to islamic radicals, brutally taking down opposition in that country twice during his time as president of russia. How forcefully, if it turns out to be a revenge again isis, because russia has launched a higher profile, how forcefully do you expect putin to respond . And is there a possibility if pewing is going after isis, there a possible of the us and russia acting in concert against isis . I think theres the possibility. Were deconflicting our mission right now to make sure were not killing each other, but the fact is what we have in common is the disdain for the russians warned us about the chechen rebel, so there is a common desire there to eliminate the jihadists. They havent really done so thus far in their air strikes, but i do think after this event theyre going to realize once these touch foot in the region, they have their own homeland Security Problems also, and its to their advantage to turn their sights to isis, and its my hope that we can draw the arab nations and nato and the Coalition Forces in a joint effort against isis. That had be the only positive thing out of think tragedy. President obama is apparently launching a new push to close the u. S. Prison facility at guantanamo, apparently going to try to go first through congress, but if congress refuses, theres talk about more executive action. Your responsible to that . In the war in iraq and afghanistan, and weve seen how well that worked. He didnt leave a residual force in iraq and now we have isis in iraq, and now the last piece is he tried this before unsuccessfully, but i think youll see an executive action to close down guantanamo. These the worst of the worse terrorists, where will they go . If they set foot on american soil, i predict the American People will stand up in outrage. Ive been done there, ive seen liquid shakekhalid sheikh mohammed, and the fact were bring him into america to provide a mecca for the jihadists were already having radicalized individuals hitting military installations in the United States. If we bring these guys into these facilities, youre going to be a heightened terror alert threat in the United States, and highly reckless and irresponsible. Very briefly, if the president were to go ahead as you predict with executive and congress can do about it . Well, hes done this before, and its hard to stop this kind of action. I would hope the American People would rise up in numbers so strongly that, as he tried to do this last time that hell decide to back down from that decision. Chairman mccall,kaulccaul, thank you for joining us, and we will stay on top of the investigation. Thank you, chris.

Well, its been an eventful week for new jersey governor Chris Christie, a video of him talking about addiction went viral on the internet and polls show him gaining traction in New Hampshire, but hes been bumped from the primetime debate on tuesday night for failing to average 2. 5 in recent National Polls. Governor christie joirns us in washington to discuss this. Welcome back. Good to be back, chris. You have reacted to your demotion as positively as you can. You say put up a podium, ill talk about the issues wherever it is, but how big a is thatback . Obviously i dont prefer it. But heres the thing. This is the problem with washington all along, chris, right . Everybody is looking at polls rather than talking about principles. Our campaign is talking about the principles we believe in. If we have less of that in washington, d. C. Well have a much more effective government. The telling it like it is is meaning what i say, thats what ill do on the stage and next day ill go to iowa and keep doing it. There are some practicalities. At the end of september, your cash on hand for the Third Quarter was 1. 4 million, which is not a lot of money. Does it hurt with donations when you get bumped from the main event to the undercard . Actually it hasnt. Its gone the op sips direct. A lot of people disagree with what fox did, and weve got more donation than the week before, because people feel like were getting a raw deal. It hasnt hurt at all. In fact incredibly, i thought what you did. Its actually worked the opposite. People are lookout there to look for the so keep doing it. Lets look at the rise of your poll here. In january, in the real clear politics average you were second behind jeb bush with more than 11 , now youre tied for ninth at 2. 3 . Question what happened . Its hard to tell. Campaigns are something that really change from week to week to week, as weve seen. In that poll there was no donald trump at that point. That makes a big difference since hes been in first place in the National Polls, but what really matters is whats happening in New Hampshire and iowa. You know from covering campaigns for a long time, National Polls had usedie giuliani ahead, herman cain in 2011, that doesnt matter. We feel great momentum in New Hampshire and iowa. Our numbers tripled in iowa and quadrupled in New Hampshire. Were going to go to work and let people hear about the things we care about. Im going to talk about New Hampshire in a second, but you brought up trump. Theres an armchair idea, analysis that youll be the largest that is life bombastic guy, and trump has kind of filled that space and that has diminished you. Is there some truth to that . I think well only know that and then well know exactly what that was. Ill tell you what we do know is the American People are concerned about where this government is headed. They want a extrastrong, decisive president who will tell it like it is and mean what he says and. One sign of live is in New Hampshire, where in a recent poll youre not in fifth place with 8 . As you say thats a big increase. Is it fair to say its New Hampshire or bust for you . Compete in iowa as well, chris. But i think for any of the candidates, if you dont do well in iowa and New Hampshire, your campaign is going to be in trouble, so you have to do well. Thats what were going to do. A video, talking about things a video went viral this week, million of people have watch it, of you talking about criminal justice, more treatment than imprisonment for people that suffer from drug addiction, and you talked especially about a friend of yours who suffered from this. Heres a clip. When i sat there as the governor of new jersey at his funeral and looked across the pew at his three daughters sobbing, because their dad is gone, there but for the grace of god go i. It can happen to anyone. We need to start treating people in this country, not jailing them. My largeer point, chris is this is a disease. People committing violent acts need to go to prison, because near putting this poison in our neighborhoods. But the addicts, the smalltime users, i talk in the video about my mom. My mom was addicted to cigarettes. She smoked for 5 years and died of lung cancer. When he got diagnosed with lung cancer, no one said dont treat her, she gets what she deserves. Where he need to think differently about this. But im also opposed to drug legalization. I tell you one thing quickly. I was outside a town hall meeting in hanover that i was having. There was a couple standing out there with their dog. I went up and said hello, and they said we wanted to come here and say we saw your video, we want to thank you for talking about this. We lost our son a week ago today. His sister goes up here to school. Wanted to say thank you. We need someone to talk about this. We dont want our son to have died in vain. This is happening all over america, and we need to get ahold of it. If we dont, it will ruin the fabric of our society. But critics note that you have opposed building more state Drug Treatment Centers in new jersey and they node in 2013, only 10 of people seeking drug treatment in new jersey could be accommodated, that there were beds for them, and they know you want to repeal obamacare, which has expanded Insurance Coverage for people with Mental Health problems or Substance Abuse problems. Isnt there a contradiction . No, we have 21 drug courts in all 21 of our counties. Second, i want that started before you were governor. No, excuse me. There were only three drug courts in new jersey when i started as governor. Its now 21. I changed the law to expand it to have drug courts in every county in my state. Secondly, chris, i dont want this to be purely a government solution. By putting more money into this, and weve put money into the treatment budget to allow the private sector to provide this treatment. I dont want to build government facilities, youre absolutely right. The private sector will fill this if only 10 of the people can be accommodated. By the way, thats much more than were accommodated before. But it cant be good. Listen, by the way, i dont think that number is accurate, but
