and we were back with congressman darrell Issa republican of california
and congressman we were just talking about Jeff Sessions the Attorney General
moments ago and you said Jeff Sessions is the only one who can do this to to to
right this wrong ship but he's not doing it
should the president fire Jeff Sessions congressman well I think the president
has an obligation to make it clear and I think he's done that that Jeff Sessions
has to step up to the plate and do his job he's ordered open and transparent
communication in other words give Congress the documents they're asking
for in the most unredacted way possible and what he's done is allowed the
bureaucrats to slow walk us and give us documents that look like a black cow
eating a licorice at midnight they're just all blacks that's right and that's
that's unacceptable and so when the president rightfully so
says that if Jeff Sessions won't do it then the president will in fact use his
authority to clear the classified request in the attorney-client privilege
and the presidential prerogatives out of the way and make it available and this
is something that needs to be done of course you need to make sure that if
somebody life is at risk that you protect them but after that the rest of
it really is the president saying he wants to be open and transparent and
every one of his cabinet officers needs to heed that and provide that kind of
information quickly yeah well why wouldn't he Disick Lassa fie these
documents congressman you know when I asked him that when I interviewed the
president didn't in July of this year he said well some people are saying don't
do it you know they don't want me to get involved and then of course we know that
the special counsel is trying to look for any obstruction but why would that
be obstruction wouldn't that just be shining a light on things making it more
transparent what's the downside risk well one of the interesting things is of
course the special prosecutor gets everything completely unredacted we're
only asking to - quite frankly look over his shoulder and look over the shoulder
of other investigations that should occur understand the president inherited
an a a system that likes to give no-one anything I often say that the most
classified thing there is anywhere in Washington is embarrassment and so often
it's it's what they don't want you to know because they don't want you to they
don't want to be embarrassed it's not real classification the book the
president is doing the right thing exactly the opposite of President Obama
he's saying make an open and transparent when Jeff Sessions was a senator he
certainly would have said I want the information he in fact maybe not as
quickly as John McCain made the moral argument that we needed to know about
Benghazi and prevent that from happening again right and he demanded documents
now he needs to be on the other side saying Congress has an absolute right
the American people have a right and he needs to lead that or get out of the way
and when I say get out of the way he somebody has to replace him that will do
it if he won't well you said that the special counsel gets to see everything
unredacted you know a lot of people have been making the point recently me
included that the special counsels investigation will not have credibility
unless he looked at everything both sides I mean we know that Hillary
Clinton and the DNC paid upwards of a million dollars for that dossier they
spent the money on the dossier then they used the dossier to get a warrant to
wiretap they did not they did not tell the FISA Court that the DNC and Hillary
Clinton paid that million dollars for it and yet you know we haven't heard a word
about this from the Special Counsel Ken Robert Muller continue this
investigation without looking at the FISA process and what took place in 2016
well I think a way to put it and agree with you is rod Rosenstein needs to give
specific instructions that says you can and should do that and if he isn't
willing to do it we have to look to his own culpability in that and that false
FISA warrant that he had a part in he's a witness
let me switch gears real quick congressman and ask you about China and
trade because really stunning developments on Friday when the
president decided to stop Mike Mike Pompeo from going to North Korea for
this planned trip and then talked about how China is not where he thought they
should be in terms of trade where are we in this battle with China right now we
you know the the way you get a deal whether it's a national
to deal with North Korea and their nuclear weapons or a trade deal that
begins to give some level of fairness from China is you've got to be willing
to walk away from it the president is the master of the art of the deal he
wants to be there he clearly will will turn Mike around
Mike Pompeo around the secretary in in hours if there's an opportunity but he's
not going to send them there just to have a pretty portrait of people shaking
hands and I think that's the difference in this negotiator is the deal's off if
you're not making progress the deals back on quickly if you are he's done it
before he can do it again but Maria the thing
that I think the American people have to understand is although trade is a
national security issue you cannot continue to give away hundreds of
billions of dollars of the American people's hard-earned money to China just
because China has a bad actor that periodically will misbehave and they use
it as leverage and that's exactly what China continues to do it's true and they
won't even admit that they're taking the IP and that they're stealing so much
technology from the US and forcing the the transfer of text so we'll see if
this strategy works in terms of changing China's behavior we love having you
answer please come back soon great to see accomplishments thanks Maria
Congress would dare Eliza they are remembering a senator war hero and
former Republican presidential nominee John McCain our panel is here with that
and other big stories of the week a panel up next stay with us as we look
ahead on Sunday morning futures
we're remembering the life and legacy of John McCain this morning a war hero
senator and presidential nominee after he lost his brave battle with brain
cancer yesterday at the age of 81 our pal joins us right now to talk more
about that Ed Rollins is former White House adviser to President Reagan
he's a Fox News contributor Mary Kissel is back editorial board member for The
Wall Street Journal and also a Fox News contributor and Gregg Jarrett joins us
this morning Fox News legal analyst and author of the top-selling book the
Russia hoax the illicit scheme to clear Hillary Clinton and frame Donald Trump
Greg good to have you thank you so much for joining us this morning great to see
everybody and Ed you go back with with Senator John McCain I first met John
McCain when he came back from Vietnam from from prison in 1973 he handled the
Senate congressional relations for a while i was doing congressional
relations was this sector for transportation so we hung out together
we all were involved in Watergate and what-have-you
it was always a man of great fun great integrity great intellect he wasn't
always a happy warrior sometimes he was a grumpy warrior but it was always a
warrior and I think the only battle he ever lost was this one and he lost it
with great class great there will never be another one like him and I say that
in a very positive way and I thought one of many occasions I loved him on many
occasions but he was an extraordinary human being in the Congress we're very
lucky to have him the country is very lucky to have him he was a maverick
and you know what he would he named Sarah Palin and Palin as his running
mate initially I thought it was brilliant well in a way it was Brandon
for about three weeks about three weeks she drove the agenda and again you know
he was he was the most beloved candidate ever to run for president by the media
unfortunately not so much by the Conservatives but at the end of the day
the country was well served by him and the veterans of this country oh him an
undying debt for all the things and the world as well and today we're talking
about world issues Mary cares I want to get your take on the president's
decision on Friday to stop Mike Pompeo from going to North Korea because of the
challenges that the u.s. is having with China largely and I guess North Korea as
well yeah I thought it was a very encouraging sign Maria because let's be
honest there hasn't been a lot of progress since President Trump
met Kim jong-un in Singapore in June and I think it was right for the president
to acknowledge that and not to reward the North Koreans with another meeting
with a cabinet-level official now president Trump remember called off the
Singapore summit before he called it back on again good so I I hope that he
sticks with this decision but it's a step in the right direction
what do you want to see happen in terms of the US and North Korea just complete
denuclearization I mean what would be victory
well victory according to the White House and we agree with this on the
editorial page is complete verifiable irreversible denuclearization and the
Trump administration has acknowledged that dragging out talks in the past has
not worked that bribing North Korea doesn't work but they have a big problem
in the South Korean administration Maria because you have a government there in
Seoul that is very far to the left and that wants rapprochement with the north
at any cost and so if there's a problem here it's not just China that we have a
problem with it's our ally and friend in Seoul some so many incredible issues
going into the midterm elections not to mention the issues around the Department
of Justice the FBI and the president now attacking Jeff Sessions in in a louder
voice Gregg Jarrett you you wrote the book the Russia hopes your thoughts on
the president's tweets this week basically pointing out that Jeff
Sessions according to the president is not doing his job well the president is
absolutely correct first at the outset jeff Sessions betrayed the president
Sascha's told the Senate Intelligence Committee began his refusal his first
day in office he concealed his intentions from the president so the
president was betrayed from the outset and then Jeff Sessions has taken very
little action to go after as I named them in the book the law enforcers who
became the lawbreakers he should have renewed and reopened the
investigation and Hillary Clinton's emails gone after her for the
destruction of evidence under a lawful subpoena and why hasn't he investigated
Hillary Clinton and her campaign paying a foreigner a British spy for
information from Russians which was then used as the basis for the Trump Russia
investigation and wiretap warrant that should have been done and next week
Bruce or the number four guide the Justice Department will testify and
answer questions behind closed doors what are you expecting from the Bruce or
testimony Greg Kot well I have 63 pages of wars notes emails and text messages
between himself and Christopher Steele there are going to be a lot of questions
about the nefarious activities between those two men in pushing the Trump
Russia collusion hopes well you know this is probably the most consequential
midterm elections that we've seen in a long time and Rollins do these issues
come up do these issues drive voters or is it largely economic or something else
in November well every race will be different the interesting thing in this
this race is there are 66 races in the house that are listed as toss-ups or
lean one way or the other only four those are Democrats most of
them are ours we have 39 Republicans either retiring are running for our
office biggest vacancy since 1930 so my sense is you got to go out and you got
to take these new candidates the Democrats apart you got it and so the
issues that we want to run on the economic issues what-have-you are a
little tougher in this 10 weeks left to go and ton of money out there Bloomberg
the former mayor has put 80 million dollars in the Democratic races yeah I
clearly is defined himself we have raised tremendous amount of money on our
side so every race will be well funded but it's just a question of time what
can you do the outcomes have been positive whether it's economic outcome a
foreign policy outcome I want to get your take on the outcomes when we come
right back Mary Kissel let's take a short break the panel stays right here
more in a moment when we come back
