everyone, and well only to "sunday morning futures." i'm sean duffy in for maria bartiromo. today, expanding the base. former president trump spending the week reaching out to thousands in new york city and libertarians in washington. the message was clear, the economy and the border, they matter. >> they call it the biden migrant invasion, and it's wrong. it's immoral. and the vast majorities of new yorkers agree with me that this is unacceptable. it's unacceptable. we must stop it. trump's drill, baby, drill approach fostered energy independence which we never had before -- [cheers and applause] low fuel and electricity prices helped moderate inflation and propel economic growth. buttal of these -- but all of these things have now skyrocketed. they have skyrocketed to levels never seen. inflations has hit us harder than it's probably ever hit us before, and people are suffering because of it. [inaudible conversations]
7:02 am
sean: meantime, the left and the senate wasting time with another failed vote on a failed border bill that got even less support than the first vote three months ago. and while we hear president biden claim the economy is just great, listen to one ceo tell maria about a how inflation under biden is hurting car owners and homeowners. >> what's really driving things has been auto insurance and shelter. things like this. with yoused cars, what percentage of the population does used cars pertain to? if i know it pertains to big rental car companies that buy them and sell them out, but what percentage of the population is -- i don't know, single digits? what about auto insurance? well, you're forced to buy auto insurance, and you have to renew it every six months. maria: that's going to affect a lot of people. >> and it's up 20% year-over-year and annualized. what about homeowners'
7:03 am
insurance? it's way up too. you don't have to have, by law, or homeowners' insurance policy, but most people for peace of mind, they don't want a catastrophe in their life. all of these things are up tremendously, things you have to buy. sean: plus, maria talks to motorola ceo greg brown on the threat of china stealing intellectual property. trump heads to north carolina today to go to nascar's coca-cola of 660, or but in liss than 48 hours, he's back in a new york city courtroom. and president biden speaks to west point graduates at a time when critics say he is making us less safe abroad. this as we learn that hamas fired rockets into tel aviv for the first time in months. congressman brian mast talks to us about this and his reflections on this memorial day weekend. all right here, right now on "sunday morning futures."
7:04 am
♪ ♪ sean: we begin with chaos at the southern border. our fox cameras are seeing more chinese and turkish immigrants crossing into the with country. en listen to one turkish migrant say americans should be worried by how easy it is to cross. >> reporter: did you have to pay a cartel? >> we. >> reporter: how much? >> 10,000. reporter $10,000? >> yes. the american people is right, completely true. who come into this country, they don't know whether okay i'm good. how if they're not good? killer, psychopath, else, no security, no security check. no background check. sean: democrats in the senate wasting america's time last week with a failed vote on the same border bill of that was rejected just last february. candidate robert f. kennedy jr. told maria it's time to take immediate action. maria: would you move to deport the 10 million illegals that are
7:05 am
in this country on joe biden's watch? >> i would shut down the border overnight, is and i've been to the border. everybody there is confident -- i've spoken to border patrol, local law enforcement, people on both sides of the border, local hospitals and local officials, and everybody is confident that we can shut this border overnight which is destroying our country. sean: joining us now, senator ron johnson from the great state, maybe the greatest state, wisconsin. senator, good to see you. senator, we heard this turkish migrant talk about there's no security checks or background checks at the southern border, and is so as we look at the failed border bill which, as you and i both know, was not a border bill that joe biden and chuck schumer brought to the floor on february, they brought it back again this week. no changes, no new negotiation with republicans to actually create a bill that's going to secure our border. it appears this is just more
7:06 am
political theater. >> good morning, sean. hope you and your family are doing well with. what people need to understand is the border is 100% secure on the mexican side. [laughter] human traffickers, drug cartels completely control it so, yeah, r finishing k jr.'s right. we could secure the border, the problem is democrats don't want. to they want an open border. they caused this problem. that bill literally codified an awful lott of president biden's open border policy. and that's a huge problem. the democrats, when they say they want a secure border, all they're interested in doing is making it for minter -- more efficient to encounter, process and disperse. they're talking about after the election they're going to put forward an immigration reform package. well, you already see what democrat immigration reform is, it's called an open border, codifying 4-555,000 people -- 4-5,000 people per day. president obama said 2,000 per day was a humanitarian crisis. we experienced last december
7:07 am
10,000 per day, under biden it's been over 7,000 per day, and the vast majority do not have a valid asylum claim. democrats want an open border. they caused the problem. biden has the authority to close the border, he just doesn't want to use it. sean: we know that joe biden signed over 900 executive order, in essence, opening us up to this massive migration we've seen in the country. so karine jean-pierre, the press secretary, was asked about why joe biden isn't doing moreful watch. [inaudible conversations] >> why should he have to do it unilaterally in why shouldn't we do it many in a legislative way? and let's not forget finish. >> [inaudible] undo some -- >> wait. so, you're right, he took many executive actions before. but in order to deal with what's happening at the border, you need legislation. you need it to happen in a bipartisan way. sean: and that's true, you need
7:08 am
a bipartisan bill that secures the border. again, they have done nothing to sit down with republicans and figure out a policy that's truly going to secure the border. have they looked at the house's h.r. 2 that truly secures the border? they have refused to do anything because, to your point, they want these open borders. >> what she said is completely false. in 2018 the supreme court said current law exudes deference to the executive branch. president trump used his executive authority, he closed the border. biden used that exact same executive authority and opened it up. he has the authority, he just doesn't want to use it. so what they're saying is completely false. listen, we would have been happy to strengthen that authority. we could have revisited the court decision that a made the flores settlement awe apply to unaccompanied children. we could have reversed that. that's not what they wanted. they wanted to codify
7:09 am
4-55,000 -- 5,000 people a day, and they would have reduced the authority of a president who actually wants to secure the border by setting that threshold at 4,000 discretionary implying the president doesn't have that authority. they're going to grab that discretion and take it away after three years. that's why that a bill was worse than doing nothing. sean: so just to recap last year, there was over 3 million migrants that came into the country. just this year alone, fiscal year 2024, seven months in we're already at 2 million people crossing our border. under joe biden's term there's been over 1.55 million if gotaways, people we don't know who they are. and to your point you've made in the past, ron, there's probably more than that 11.5 millionment -- 11.5 million. we now have chinese flooding into the country, and just recently two jordanians trying to cross into the marine corps base in quantico. again, this poses real threats to our country. how does your committee, the the
7:10 am
homeland security committee, assess this risk that joe biden has foisted onto the american people? >> according to democrats, we've not held one hearing addressing the border. so they're not serious about a doing this. and just to prove that point, one of their lead negotiators said the border never closes under this bill with, and the majority leader, when those negotiations failed, here was his quote: we are plague chess, they are playing checkers, and we got our ukraine bill and we're in better shape on the border than we were in three months ago. would you rub your negotiating partner's nose in failure like that? if secondly, if you were really serious about securing the border, they didn't get a bill. and why would schumer say he's in better with shame on the border than he was -- shapen on the border, because all he was looking for was political cover. they want an open border. people node to understand that about the democrats -- need to
7:11 am
to understand that. sean: it was the political cover because even more democrats voted against that bill last week than they did in february. i want to to pivot and switch gears because a top advisor to the fauci, dr. david morins, and we just learned of he was deleting e-mails at nih. he referenced that he was concerned senator ron johnson was requesting information on what they were doing on covid and gain of function. how do you react to the deletion of e-mails that the american people are actually entitled to -- this is our work product, they're our employees, we're entitled to the e-mails. you asked for them, they deleted them. >> the well, this is just further evidence of the complete corruption of our federal health agencies, and that's what it is. we've known that anthony a few hawaii's been covering up his involvement in funding gain of function research, probably resulted in the coronavirus. he's known about that. foia with -- and, again, it shouldn't require these federal,
7:12 am
these foia requests. congress has oversight authority that the administration completely ignores, but by foia'd documents, we got about 4,000 of his e-mails that were incredibly recriminating. we've gotten 350 pages unredacted. we're down to the last 50 pages, for the last two years they will not give us the final a 50 pages of anthony fauci's e-mails. there must be really incriminate being information in those. these health agencies are completely opaque. they're not transparent, they're not honest, they're not providing the american public with the transparent say they deserve. sean: we're entitled to know what they were thinking and what their plans were. i want to pivot to this because it's memorial day weekend. a lot of families are hitting the road traveling to see friends or family members. gas price are spiking. biden, in response to that, has released another one million barrels of oil from the strategic petroleum verve.
7:13 am
again, he sees the politics of gas prices, but this is pretty simple, senator. just support american oil and gas and their drilling as opposed to joe biden and democrats attacking american oil and gas. you don't have to release a million barrels from the strategic petroleum reserve, just pump more oil! >> absolutely. use our god given resources and stop this massive deficit spending. there have been studies that show an average american family is spending more than $1,000 per month just to maintain their saturday of -- standard of living because of biden's inflation. anywhere from a third to two-thirds of americans can't afford a $400 emergency. how can they possibly afford $1,000 a month? they can't. that's why people are pretty ornery, and i hope they connect the to thes and realize this is because of the democrat government, and i hope they throw them out of office. sean: polling would show that a americans are suffering under
7:14 am
joe biden's economy and, frankly, they blame joe biden for this economy. senator ron johnson, always a pleasure to see you. thanks for being with us on "sunday morning futures." >> have a good day. sea sean up next, former president trump's legal team gets one more chance to poke holes in the prosecution case before the jury gets to decide. trump's legal spokesperson, or alina habba, or she's here nexts ♪ pe but so is saving. ♪ ♪ es a fre you buy two pairs of glasses for just $79.95. book an exam online today.

sean: welcome back. on tuesday former president trump's defense team and manhattan d.a. a alvin bragg's team will begin closing arguments in the trump v. new york trial. then judge juan merchan is going to provide the critical instructions to the jury on what the applicable law is in the case. joining us now, trump legal spokesperson alina has been what. -- habba. good to see you. on tuesday we're going to see summation or closing argument as. the jury's going to be instructed as a to the law. what is your read on the case but also your with read on the instructions -- your read on the instructions that are going to be given to the jury? >> the instructions, we've been going back is and forth what they're going to be finally tweaked. the concern with the instructions which is, frankly, the most critical part, they have of no facts, let's be
7:19 am
clear. i sat through this trial, and, you know, i would tell you if i was concerned on factual basis. but as i've said and i'm not speaking now to posture for the president, but just generally as an attorney, as an american who understands the law and how to apply laws to facts, there are no facts that support this alleged crime. we're not even sure what the crime is. so it's a books and records issue. we have to make sure that the jury charges that judge merchan -- who, again, we have said is severely conflicted for reasons that the i can't speak to because of the unconstitutional gag order -- but this judge is the judge that determines the jury instructions. the jury instructions are the road map for non-attorneys and jurors to follow the law. it's going to be critical and, frankly, at this point i have zero confidence in the fact that this person who should not be sitting on the bench right now will do the right thing and give jury instructions that are in an appropriate manner without any
7:20 am
persuasion towards the prosecution. there's my biggest concern. it always has been. there was no case, as we saw. the taxpayer dollars have been wasted for eight years for a case that is past the statute of limitations that doesn't exist in a political campaign to take down trump. so now you've held jurors for five weeks we've been sitting here, we saw no facts. and the last resort for the prosecution is going to be this judge with political motivations going to give them instructions on how to decide the fate of a former president and the future president. of the united states. sean: listen, as we've watched this case unfold,, it's interesting, there's been so much irrelevant evidence presented to the jury. i think it's going to be important for team trump to simplify this case and apply if it to the facts that are given. i think that's going to be the mission at hand on tuesday. i spent ten years in the courtroom, and i have never seen a judge say we're going to wait a week after the evidence closes to actually do closing argument
7:21 am
as -- and then give jury instructions. i'm going to tell you what, there's a silver lining in this, alina. donald trump needs a juror or jurors who are driven by justice to fight for him. i don't want a juror on thursday or friday going into memorial day weekend to go, you know what? i've got a party going on, i want to end this early, so starting on tuesday there's nothing on the calendar, i think it could bode well for president trump for those people on the jury who understand the law and the facts to fight for him and fight for justice. am i wrong? >> you're not wrong. the only counterargument to that and, of course, it's the lawyer in me to give you the counter, but the counterargument to that is these are not sequestered jurors. sean: true. >> they should have been because, in my opinion, these jurors are handling something that is completely unprecedented and unwarranted in mentioner america. and for them to be able to be out and about on a holiday weekend with friends and families who have opinions, who
7:22 am
are watching the news, tvs on in the background at the pool party, i have serious concerns. if they're left winging and they're watching msdnc as my client calls it or cnn, they're not going to get fair nude newsment9 by the way, they have been saying this case a hoax, which is shocking. but they know the jurors are out there listening, and i have concerns about that. time is, can be on your side sometimes, you're right there, but in this instance i have worries about them going back to whatever friends might have trump derangement syndrome, forgetting all sense of reality and coming back and sitting in that box and saying, you know what? if i've got to take one for the dnc. i don't want that. i want law to fact -- because if we can get that, we will win. we will not just get a hung jury, we will get an acquittal. so let's see. sean: but you had five weeks where those jurors were probably intera acting with with those same left-wingers. they got to see donald trump in
7:23 am
the bronx and all the love and support he got from communities you normally don't see with donald trump. legal expert alan dershowitz called judge merchan a tyrant, and now we have elise stefanik, congresswoman from new york, when has filed an ethics complaint from the judge claiming he is conflicted because of his daughter who works for the democrat party. we might think, again, who your family works for, not a big deal if you have a judge that's fair in the case. but when we see the politics of the case, it does beg the question and the appropriateness of elise stefanik filing the ethics complaint against this judge. >> i think there was, and about i can't speak specifically to it, i'll only speak generally because of the gag, but there was football if motivation there. that's -- financial motivation there. that's critically important. there can't be financial motivation in donations. look it up, but that's the key issue. so he 1000% should have recused. at this point that's a good issue for ap appeal, because the judge refused to recuse himself.
7:24 am
there's no question it's politically motivated, and there's also no question that their political motivation has hurt the democratic party. if you look at president trump in the bronx, the people coming out, people that felt that they've been persecuted coming out in support of this man that they now see as somebody who's a victim of selective prosecution, who's been possessor persecuted because of finish persecuted because of his politics, no different than going after somebody because of their race or religion. that is president trump. they have made him a victim. they are so aggressively desperate because they have a candidate that cannot win, truly cannot win. he can't win on policies, he can't win on walking up the stairs, so they have to go to desperate measures. and now we're looking at it, and it's hurting them. we've got so much support out there. i can tell you from my personal life and my experience, i walk on the street people just keep saying, keep fighting for america. we need our america back. and that's what's happening. it's turning. sean: yeah. >> so i'm hoping for a verdict that makes sense which should be
7:25 am
a complete acquittal. worst case if there's politicization, which i'm sure there will be, there should be a hung jury. but i sat there, there was nothing -- i was sitting next the alan a dershowitz in court when that judge ross his mind and -- lost his mind and threw the press out. the only time you censor the press is when you don't want them to the hear our witness. it's crazy. sean: the american people do have interaction with the criminal justice system whether it's with the newspaper, friends or family members, and they look at this case and go, i've never heard or seen anything like this. they truly are confused which is why donald trump has gone up in the polls since these charges. it hasn't been the other way around which democrats had hoped. iowa a lee that habba, appreciate it. >> thank you, happy memorial day. sean: happy memorial day. next, maria talks to chairman and ceo of motorola solutions greg brown on that and how his company is taking action over alleged stealing of its intellectual property.

♪ ♪ maria: president biden took a page out of president trump's playbook this month announcing $18 billion in new tariffs on imports from china including steel, solar products, semiconductors and electric vehicles. my next guest is quite familiar with the net of china's dumping cheap productsstealing intellectual property as it is in the middle of a lawsuit against china's -- his company is. he told me recently they can run, but they cannot hide. joining me now is the chairman and ceo of mote role that solution, greg brown back we me -- mote if role la. >> thanks very -- for having me. maria: was the tariffs the right move? is this the the answer to tackle china's intellectual property theft and dumping of cheap products? >> it's a piece. now, one of the things, and you're more familiar than i am with washington, d.c., but one
7:31 am
of the few things both parties agree with is china. i think trump and lighthizer and that administration really put some strenuous restrictions on china in the trump administration. biden's continued that. now, i admittedly am more of a free trade person. however, when you have a market actor that dumps cheap subsidized product and steals intellectual property, then in this case i'm generally in favor 00 to% -- 100% tariff increase on evs. while that sounds impressive, 7% of people in the u.s. drive an ev. 2% of the imported evs are coming from china. is it consequential? i think it's a little bit more symbolic. maria: you know, this is such an important point because i know you were one of the first companies in china back in 1986. today you look at your business, you have barely a footprint there. that took courage and
7:32 am
leadership. so many corporations out there today, they say, well, it's the law, so we're going to do it, we're going to sell to11.4 billion -- to 1.4 people in china. you're seeing the national security threat and saying no. >> i would say -- look, every company's different. we were one of the very first companies in, we were also one of the first companies out. it was a conscious decision 15 years ago a because when we pulled on the thread of our first con confrontation back many '08-'099, trade secret, patent theft, source code copying, it's egregious, it's systematic, in my view, with the communist party, the chinese communist party. maria, what i would say -- and i think most ceos know this -- if you have significant technology content or intellectual property, beware. go think about it. uber against dd. google against baidu. amazon against alibaba.
7:33 am
apple now dropping prices more recently, battling the indigenous provider huawei. tesla, who's the largest provider of evs in the world? byd. so you can go in china and historically it made sense, but it's a different game now. now, if you're in other businesses without technology content, nike selling sneakers, the nb a a exporting the game -- nba, maybe starpuck withs for coffee, i think your -- starbucks, your risk is more mitigated, but china will always prefer, in my opinion, local are providers. maria:. such an important point. the former director of national intelligence if john ratcliffe told me that the chinese communist party strategy is very clear. it's rob, replicate, replace. period. rob, replicate, replace. that's what they want to do to motorola solutions. tell me why you are suing high terra right now.
7:34 am
you're in the middle of a lawsuit. >> it's seven years and counting. they've already been convicted. they stole patents, they stole trade secrets, they copied source code. they were former employees that as they were exiting our i.t. system triggered significant information and data down load, and it's now concluded where they owe us actually now including royalties over $600 to million. now, maria, that's a civil case. in parallel, the doj is beginning to hear the case in q4 of this year on a 211-count criminal -- 21-count criminal indictment against hyterra. they're a bad actor, they're a bad company. they stole. it's offensive, and we will go all the way, as i've told you, to the mat to defend our position. they owe us over $600 million, i think about a $60 million is sitting in escrow. they are going through the final accept, the step the of an
7:35 am
appeal -- maria: do you believe they're going back to government officials and saying here's what we learned, here's what we got from motorola solutions? is this the ccp? >> well, i think in my opinion companies, either soes -- state-owned enterprises -- or companies like huawei that are not potentially designated soes, as you know, i'm not sure there's any bright line between an independent company and the ccp. so i believe it's comingled. i can't speak specifically to what happened with whom or where, but do i believe there's an interdependency and entanglement between the chinese communist party and independent tech company in china? i do. maria: what with's incredible to me is that they did it from within your company. there were chinese nationals working at motorola. what happened? >> they were in malaysia and if after they decided to leave motorola, they were taking a whole set of thumb drives for data download are on source code, patents and said secrets
7:36 am
to go to hyterra to then replicate new products. look, motorola solutions, you mow we do public safety and enterprise. public safety and physical security. so we are the largest mission-critical raid crow communications provider -- radio. for public safety or enterprise use. expect chinese communist party in this case wants to replicate that ep -- ip. it's easier to steal it than it is to develop it, and that's what they did, and we caught them. maria: how did you catch them? >> it was because of an unparalleled amount a of data that was streaming, and the i. e t. people said, well, wait a minnesota, what is being taken here? -- minute, what is being taken here? we measure normal information traffic what you're doing online not specifically, but in volume. and this was an inordinate amount of data withdrawal, and that's what triggered the investigation. maria: greg, you've done such a
7:37 am
masterful job in leading motorola solutions. years ago you made a pivot, you made a decision to make the company smaller to focus on public safety. >> yeah. maria: big with portion of your customers, local police. tell me about the backdrop, the customer base of to mote if role la solutions and how -- motorola solutions and how your business has changed. >> so we used to be a conglomerate. we had six different divisions. at a our peak if, over $40 billion in revenue. i just looked at this. we basically split the the company up and monetized and divested all of the other divisions. now, the big decision was to get out of the cell phone business. now, the identity of motorola, they invented and commercialized the cell phone. razor, startack, it was the -- it was a big decision. by the way, i remember having a conversation. by the way, maria a, hers this
7:38 am
was pre-android, pre-iphone. there wasn't smartphones. maria: wow. >> i said what motorola historically has done, outstanding innovation, superb. but they typically do it in consumer electronics, and then we can't compete if on scale or low cost. we invented elements of the portable tv. we invented the pager. we invented the car radio. we invented the cell phone. and if you rewind the tape back in the traditional cell phone days, it was nokia and blackberry and samsung and htc. and i said i don't think we can compete on large scale, low cost. it's not what we do. and the typical competitive set chinese companies and/or koreans, they scale, they will eviscerate the margin pool with low margin, and they'll do it in a more effective way than
7:39 am
motorola. you're not going to be able to sustainably compete. and margins will continually come under pressure, so let's redeploy the capital to the organization in motorola that's not well known, this, quote-unquote -- i hate the phrase, but you'll get it -- walk key talk key public safety thing because we do customized mobile work flow for emergency communications for new york and las vegas and that's and l.a. we are the mission-critical standard for emergency communications. is so if you're in n if ypd and you need video feeds or you need a single paine of glass for -- payne of glass for -- pane of glass for a realtime crime certain, you can integrate all these critical pieces of information whether it's voice, data or video. that was the strategy. it's proven so far quite well. we have a lot of work to do. we have a $66 billion total addressable market. we'll come in, the street has us
7:40 am

7:47 am
theist organization -- terrorist organization, he's picking a terrorist organization, he's picking politics on college campuses. and you have to think how this will set us back with our allies and our enemies. this is some of the greatest damage to american porn policy we have seen in decades -- foreign policy we have seen in decades, and it'll take decades to solve it. maria: yeah. sean that's former speaker of the house kevin mccarthy telling maria how biden's actions overseas have made us less safe. let's bring in congressman brian with mast, army veteran. congressman, good to see you. -- brian mast. just this morning hamas is launching a barrage of missiles into israel. we just had the u.n. order israel to stop its military action in rafah. but on top of that, the international criminal court just asked for warrants on israeli leadership as well as hamas. now, just to be clear, they didn't authorize warrants after, october 7th. both of them were just authorized together this haas
7:48 am
week. your response. >> yeah. and let's add one more to that. there's another court, the international court of justice, which america does participate in that also had a vote, and the american on that court voted to say they want to see america -- israel, rather, move out of rafah and those over areas. all of this combined you have to looked at this and say what gives credibility to hamas, what gives morale boost to hamas fighters, what takes it away from israeli fighters, and that's what you have going with on here. after after-action by the biden administration or and others that are boosting our non-ally, our enemy that literally holds american hostages as we speak, participated in killing americans to bring down the morale of israel, and the result you see are rockets raining down on israel yet again. and it also tells you that the fight isn't over yet. sean: it begets aggression.
7:49 am
we also look at what happens here at home. you're on the foreign affairs committee, you sent a with request to the state department for correspondence, for communication with our government officials and organizations that have been funding the protests on college campuses. what are you looking for? do you have some insight that the federal government is partnering with your organizations that are funding these anti-israel protests? if. >> so there's a really important thing to understand here. the state department and other government agencies, or yes, you're well aware of this but a lot of people aren't, they give grants out to agencies. they have created names, they're in washington, d.c. or other countries. humanist international or group for the good of peace here. and those agencies give out subgrants to a whole bunch of other entities that go out and do things that most of the time the united states government has no idea about. that's where i you get those dollars, coming from the if u.s. government going down to some entity and then to some other subgrantee that's getting
7:50 am
dollars to fund unrest on a college campus or make sure that they help individuals that don't support israel get better applications to go to the schools that they want to go to all while the admissions boards and the governors and the tenured professors are looking for those type of individuals. that's how that circle goes around in getting the dollars from the that taxpayer to the unrest. sean: so your point is our federal tax dollars are going to fund the radicalism on these college campuses, and that's what you're exploring in this request. >> not just going there, but unfortunately you have a federal government that in instance after instance doesn't even take the time to track where your money is going. we were just doing this a couple days ago with secretary of state antony blinken, pointing out the fact that money that a he had no idea about was going directly to the taliban. he tried to deny it, but a special investigative report showed -- by the government, a report by the government -- showed, yes, it is going directly to the taliban.
