rational special election this upcoming Tuesday the president hitting on a wide
range of topics last night while endorsing GOP congressional candidate
Troy Ball derson president Trump fired up his supporters on the topic of border
security among other things more elite than me I have better everything than
they have including this I became president and they didn't and it's
driving them crazy they're talking about this blue wave I don't think so I think
it could be a red wave I tell you what
like ms-13 and others we get them the hell out of the country one by one we
just announced yesterday a record of enforcement at the border not easy all
this comes as the president in recent days has threatened a government
shutdown before the midterm elections if Congress does not implement tougher
immigration laws and provide the funding for the border wall join me right now is
Congressman Peter King in New York a member of the House Intelligence and
homeland security committees also chairman of the Subcommittee on
counterterrorism and intelligence congressman it's good to see this
morning thanks so much for joining us thank you Maria so your reaction to the
president's rally he said he said in the last week that he's going to be out
there in campaign style you know rallies like this six days a week going into the
midterm election he says he wants to get to five to six days a week going into
the the midterm elections good idea I think it is I mean no one is able to
identify and make contact with real American voters working people the
president Trump he has an uncanny ability to strike the right note I mean
I find it myself when I go to whether it's a diner a restaurant a Little
League base ball game a major league baseball game
just go to local events local picnics and barbecues rank-and-file people they
they identify with president Trump he's able to connect with them he cuts
through a lot of the BS he cuts through a lot of the Washington talk and he also
strikes home with them that you know and they're watching so often on television
he's commentators who act as if they're above it all if they were elite and
somehow President Trump and his supporters are beneath them by present
Trump saying last night's the people you are the elite that really strikes home
and it really you know really resonates it strikes a very responsive chord so
now he's out there listen people may not agree with everything he says the fact
is he is able to connect and that's a unique ability to have so many
politicians they talk in riddles they talk only after they've you know gone
over well that can't paint themselves how they're not going to offend anybody
president Trump says what you know like it is again some people may disagree but
overall I think you're gonna find a solid majority of people agree that he's
trying to get things done and he's cutting through a lot of the Washington
and media elite traps that are thrown out part of the issue is that if he
doesn't communicate what he's been able to accomplish and his team has been able
to accomplish the American people really want to hear the full story I mean when
you take a look at some of the things like for example the Treasury
recommending rescinding the payday lending rule which threatened to cut off
the poorest Americans from credit the Interior Department in turn in terms of
the first real reforms to to the Endangered Species Act wages up three
percent year-over-year unemployment at three point nine percent GDP economic
growth at four point one percent you're not hearing these headlines in the media
so without these rallies how does he communicate the accomplishments that
he's having when the mainstream media is all about Michael Cohen and Russia and
all of these things that really don't matter to the American people yeah he
has to go over the heads of the mainstream media which by the way is why
I love going on shows like yours you can talk to real people and that haven't
filtered through a biased media and if all those stats and you gave that to me
probably the most important is that for the first time in nine years American
workers are getting real increases in their wages it's been nine
years since they've got this type of increase because up to now the media
says oh you know this only helps the rich people
yeah the stock market's going up and real working people aren't getting the
benefits well now they are I mean this is the first time in nine years you're
seeing real solid wage growth for American workers so this is again
probably the best validation of this policies including deregulation and
there are other things too but then there's border security congressman and
you've done a lot in terms of communicating what is going on with this
gang ms-13 the president is is taking a risk here is he not by saying look if
you don't have the money in there for the next budget for the border wall then
we will shut this government down and that is right before the midterm
elections your thoughts on that risky bet you know first always doing an
outstanding job at ms-13 let me tell you where I disagree with the president
because the fact is we do have to have a border wall it's essential that it be
funded but the Democrats have the balance of power on this in the Senate
right now if we don't get Democrats to vote for that they have the power to
shut down the government but the president's going to get blamed for it I
would prefer that he campaigned strongly on the wall and telling the voters to
vote for members of Congress and the Senate who are committed to building the
wall so that way he would have a mandate going after the election to have the
wall my concern is that we shut down the government before the election
Republicans will get blamed for it and we'll end up with a democratic house
and the first thing they're going to do is try to move to impeach the president
so again it's a question of strategy not a question of goals well what are your
thoughts in terms of this election meddling conversation I mean the
president has also said that Russia is trying to undermine our democracy others
have said they're really trying these tactics going into the midterm elections
as well how worried are you about meddling coming up to the midterms now
there's no doubt Russia is going to try to meddle but again the government is
making an unprecedented effort far more that was done under President Obama to
stop this I mean there's been almost four hundred million dollars given to
the states so that they can improve their computer systems there's also a
really a great move by the Department Homeland Security sharing information
with two state boards of Elections if any
information or anything at all is there any indication of meddling the
government can react to it but probably the most make the main thing we have to
do is convince Russia that there is a deterrent that if they try this there's
going to be consequences because if we're just playing defense somehow
rather they can get through but if they know there's going to be a massive
retaliation that's that's the best way to keep them from doing it now President
Obama didn't do that even over to Putin and I guess September 2016 and said
knock it off well Putin did knock it off and the president didn't do anything and
so right before he left office that's to be a strong deterrent and we have the
capacity to carry out a duty it seems to me that these upcoming midterm elections
is as much about President Trump as about any of the local politicians
because if he is going to get his his agenda executed he needs more Republican
senators and and congressmen - I want to ask you about security clearance
stay with us we'll take a short break but it's really a head scratcher that
former senior intelligence advisors and directors still have security clearance
we're gonna come back to you congressman to talk
welcome back and we're back now with Congressman Peter King on president
Trump's announcement that he is considering revoking security clearances
for some former top intelligence officials several of whom worked in the
Obama administration conference I don't think most Americans understand that our
former leaders of NSA CIA FBI cetera they continue to hold their security
clearance after they leave office and a lot of people are saying well you know
what they're using it as their bona fides to enhance their marketability for
non clearance jobs in the media or the corporate world at the same time you've
got people like John Brennan on CNN all day long trashing the president should a
person who has security clearance be saying that President Trump is
treasonous no absolutely not I mean John Brennan has proven himself to be a cheap
political hack a political cheap shot artist so he shouldn't but it's apart
from John Brennan himself and again he certainly doesn't deserve one knee to me
the only reason to give anyone is security clearance so to keep their
clearance after they leave government is if you're going to consult them for
instance a former CIA director or a Secretary of State if there's a crisis
you may want to bring them in for consultation well obviously you're not
going to bring John Brennan in for consultation you're not gonna bring
general clapper in for consultation because they've made it clear that they
are political activists so to me the only time that should be done is if you
believe there's a real need or a real possibility that you will be consulting
that that person in in the case of a crisis like during the Bay of Pigs when
John Kennedy brought in former cabinet officials to speak with them but did not
know it's too dangerous even even if they're on your side if they're doing
talk shows if they're out in public it's very easy to by mistake even the best of
intentions give away classified information so top secret it's nice to
know it should only be the people absolutely need explain to our viewers
what security clearance gives these individuals what kind of in from
information are they able to see as they go about their daily lives doing
something completely different than they did in the past in terms of serving the
government you know I I get my own briefings and I
assume if it's the same as that they will be told again where there's
potential crisis if there's a potential plot they will be told if there's a
possible SBI what's going on they will be told about possible clues
that are being planned in different countries either for or against our
allies they will be given the most sensitive intelligence it's out there
both internationally and also domestic so they will basically know that they
they could have enough information to know which could be extremely helpful to
other countries now that they were doing it intentionally I'm gonna try to
suggest that when you get that and you could by mistake it speak it out cuz if
you're on that in government every day you can lose that discipline that it's
necessary and especially if you have someone like Brennan who can get carried
away I mean if he's accusing the president of treason and I would never
think of doing that about Bill Clinton or Barack Obama or Harry Truman or John
Kennedy that's just absurd so if person gets carried away that way
you wonder how much control they have of their thinking process especially since
we know I mean comes when you're on the Intel committee right we know that Devin
Nunez the chairman of the Intel committee is looking at the CIA and what
John Brennan's role was in terms of the dossier and handing the dossier over to
the FBI when it was unverified trying to get the the warrant to to a wiretap
Carter page so we know all of this that Brennan was involved in and we know that
you've got an active investigation into his performance so he still has security
clearance it's giving him this sort of appearance that he's in the know of
something and then he goes on television and and criticizes the president called
him treasonous John Brennan CIA obviously we're talking about a handful
of people in the CIA oh 99.9% to an outstanding job but a handful of people
into his leadership just like in the FBI a handful of people in the Jim Comey's
leadership really I believe did not carry out their duties in the best
interest of the u.s. they were more interested in stopping Donald Trump and
that's that is being looked at it's not definite yet but it would certainly I
believe is real improper activities were carried on and that is being looked at
so to me all the more reason why very few purview of any people of anyone from
the Obama administration right now have this type of security yes certainly
looks fishy to me what was going on before the election in 2016
chemtrails good to see you this morning thanks so much
