democrats they will be focused on lessons from them will report and congressman says monday's hearing is about justice not politics. >> this is about defending the constitution and the rule of law. it is not about this president but future presidents and how they will regard the responsible is an office. the american people expect us to hold this accountable for the attacks were viggo in the impeachment question will be decided by the fact. >> house republicans say monday's hearing is nothing more than a political stunt, republican congressman spoke out that this beaker and said malibu roller or the investigator eventually do testify there will be plenty to ask about. >> from my perspective it's a one-sided report that does not give the privilege of a cross-examination so if they come they need to be prepared to be cross-examined with the facts which would paint a very different picture.
10:05 am
>> this week the house is also likely to vote on a resolution that would eventually hold the attorney general on contempt on tuesday the house is expected to consider the major and democrats on the judiciary committee are demeaning attorney general bill barth to to deliver the full adductor report but he is refused after president trump and both executive privilege prayed the resolution also mentioned holding former white house counsel into contempt as well. democrats have voiced their demonstration in the refusal to testify in turnover document to the judiciary committee. >> one can imagine the felony conviction and disbarment also come up with a hearing tomorrow and we will watch for it, thank you so much. >> backed her top story, president trump says he has full confidence that mexico will help stem the flow of migrants across a celebrity. u.s. officials say the president could call back his terror threat is mexico does not meet expectations. joining now georgia congressman and a member of the house budget

committee, rob, thank you for joining us. you know the president received a lot of criticism regarding the tariffs but here you have mexico coming to the table and say they're going to do a variety of things. your thoughts on this tactic that the president is taking to wield the u.s. economy to the negotiations going forward and where we stand today. >> i am glad we are arguing about the tactics that work. >> go back to the conversation were going have. they were having too much assess we want to find different ways to get there. let's do that but you cannot argue with the results. this decision last week or last month or last year. we need results if the humidity crisis for the obama administration where he was a quarter of the migrants were coming across the border. lewdly a humanitarian issue, it's american issue and we need a partner in mexico to solve it. >> some of the numbers are just staggering, 144,000 coming across apprehensions at the selfless border, record high of

10:08 am
rank-and-file is exactly there ready to cast the votes. >> do think the deal to be worked out mexico, the national guard, the fact the asylum cases and people are waiting to wait mexico, they bow and some cases to help people find jobs in mexico. to think that will help? >> undeniably it will help. this is a step in the right direction. we're talking about an entire percentage point of the honduran, guatemalan, el salvador migrating into mexico and the united states of america. all the while i represent the majority district. i family members who have been waiting five or, ten years in some cases 20 years to come to this country legally. what we cannot do is send out the message that lawlessness gets rewarded by plane by the rules, and attention whatsoever. this is an opportunity to pass fundamental immigration reform and i believe the president wants to put on the bill. >> one of the things that they
10:09 am
vowed to do as part of this agreement is to go out to the human smugglers that he made this journey so dangerous. do you think will be successful? >> idea. you see the mexican president down celebrating this agreement as well. that is what our president is. he is a negotiator and a negotiated deal with the mexican president can celebrate it in the home and security can celebrating, that's a win-win situation that problem-solving requires. i am optimistic about what this is going to be. >> think back to georgia, something that's got a lot of attention this has seemed to really activate democrats in the state and across the nation. are you concerned about the portable ramification. >> are not, the worst thing that goes on in georgia we are fighting too hard for life, that's a problem to have. the fact of the matter is, what the best place in the country to start a new business. with the best place in the country teresa family and get an education. we have everything going for us in that part of the world. the new far left tactic if we
10:10 am
don't like your position on issue, we try to fascinate your character to church or your job, limit your likelihood, those are tactics that are left with the tell terry emerging non- american politics. we will be just fine. >> thank you for coming in on sunday. leland: will go back to the tactics on trade. cnbc this morning, the president is perfectly happy to hit china with new tariffs if the country does not want to move forward in negotiation. we bring him former trade representative with the obama and ministrations. deputy director of the national economic council. the pride was coming. good to see you sir. we appreciate it. the chinese are watching will happen with mexico. they get the near times and mexico relented on border long before trump's deal conditions
10:11 am
intact before the reset mexico. they report that there is no deal in place for the mexico to buy a lot more to the farmers essentially, they see this as a paper due. that's reported. whether or not that's true not, different story. it could embolden them couldn't? >> i hope the chinese do not get the wrong signals from this. first of all i take issue with the fact is simply a paper deal but more importantly i think the president has shown time again that if china is not willing to commit to real structural reform that's not a deal that's good enough or him. i also think there's differences here, politically and economically that are worth exporting, the politics of this. >> the chinese are sitting here looking at the president and regional people can disagree exactly on the deal. but the reporting is given an opportunity to think that he came here. we are certainly not willing to go the distance to the mexican government on this.
10:12 am
why should the chinese believe they are going to get the screws and come to the table was something meaningful. >> i think the president has shown he's willing to escalate things. >> with china he's been at willing to escalate already. but what i was going to get into, there is a difference politically here. with china, the president has really strong support from congress, from the business community, from the strategy to take them on a euro change. but with mexico, he heard a different reaction this week for businesses who are concerned about what was going to happen in from senators who are speaking out against it. i think it also comes down to the economics. if you look at china a lot of what were getting from them are end products, consumer products and things like that. and mexico as part of an integrated north american supply chains. things are going back-and-forth six or seven times in the auto industry and that 5% tariff and really compound upon itself. that's why you will see a totally different approach to
10:13 am
mexico into china. i hope china does not read the wrong signals here. >> speaking something that not only their reading but watching as well as administration is outspending the steel with mexico, here is the acting home and security secondary and for chris wallace's money. >> how much of this is new? >> all of this is new, is more than a temple commitment to increase his security and that's where people are entering from guatemala and exculpate. >> secretary nielsen testified that these things were happening to the house judiciary committee, and moving national guard troops to guatemala and this is different than that? >> is very different. the president put a charge of the whole dialogue with mexico with the terror threat and brought them to the table. >> mexicans in the past said they will do better on the border but the chinese in the past said they will do better on most things and i remember back when the chinese were going to
10:14 am
stop hacking into your company. and i was talking to somebody as the shipping was shining the agreement and there realizing that chinese hackers were back at it. it goes to the issue of accountable to, how did the chinese believe that even if they make these deals there is going to be accountability vacuum. >> i think the difference you see between the approach and the chopper ministration in the obama administration is that these deals that the chopper ministration is working on with china are backed up with strong enforcement provision. that is a critical objective of the chopper ministration prayed something the obama administration did not achieve. >> you work in both demonstration, give me specifics of how you know, the chinese no that things are different and there's a different sheriff in town, have a knock at the messenger. >> i think $300 billion in tariffs, i guess $250 billion in tariffs already should send the signal, what i witnessed is a negotiating team from the chopper menstruation was that china was putting things on the
10:15 am
table in a way that they had never done. >> didn't they take them off the table? >> they did not take them off the table, there are specific things that china was pushing back on, i would stress and i think you've heard this from secretary mnuchin and abbasid whiteheads are that the core video was there and it was very good. i think ultimately, hopefully after the g20 when the leaders get back together the political situation can be improved and we can get back to that. the obama administration was never anywhere near as far with china on a range of issues, ip, agriculture, that the chopper ministration was. >> we appreciate your insight and your analysis. welcome to the private sector we thank you for your service for those years there. for some reason i think there's going to be a lot to talk about in the coming weeks and we will have you back. >> be sure to tune into fox news right after our show.

[laughter] everybody -- people can't even pronounce his name, and yet he's doing extremely well in the polls. i find him to be very impressive to listen to. can he ride the wave all the way to i caucus win in iowa or in the early primary states in it's all to be determined. i mean, it's super early right now. i think last time i was on with you, leland, we were talking about a couple days in advance preceding vice president biden announcing, and the thought from a lot of the conservatives was that was going to be the best day that joe biden had. and yet joe biden is hanging in there at the top -- leland: yeah. it's worth looking at this latest poll from the des moines register. this is iowa-significant, but there's pete buttigieg at 15%.
10:35 am
biden, to your point, started off much stronger than he is right now in the polls, he's dropped a little bit. we'll bring in john hancock on that. if you were biden's folks, would you be worried about this current drop? >> yeah, i would. and, you know, front-runners traditionally don't do that well in democratic presidential primaries, and joe biden, this is his third time running for president. he's, quite frankly, he's just not very good at it. and i think you're going to see more stumbles. you know, you had the hyde amendment stumble this week which was just a terrible campaign execution. and more and more things like that, we're not even to debates yet. >> biden's in real trouble. leland: hit him on that point. we'll put up this list of, i think, 18 democratic candidates who are in iowa this weekend. biden will be there on tuesday. so it's enough democratic candidates to fill out a traveling hockey team, i believe, for the full roster, a basketball team. john, any of those faces worry you come the general, including,
10:36 am
perhaps, mayor pete there on the keyboard? >> not really worried, leland, but i do think somebody in that field is going to emerge as the alternative to biden, and they've got a good chance at that point. i don't think we know who that person is going to be just yet. the key, i think, with this electorate is if you look at the donald trump unfavorables, that's going to be a real key in this race because millions of those people voted for donald trump in 2016, and i think millions of them may vote for him again in 2020. and the democratic nominee's going to have a huge say in what happens to that sliver of the trump unfavorables. of. leland: that's an interesting perspective. bernie sanders on this, touching perhaps a little bit on the counterpositive you just made. i know all the polls out there say trump is going to be beaten, and they have me, meaning sanders, ahead of him in pennsylvania and wisconsin.
10:37 am
let me tell you, i think donald trump is going to be a very tough opponent. richard, do you agree? >> listen, and to that point -- and john makes a good point -- trump's negatives are so high at this point that he is beaten in michigan, pennsylvania, wisconsin and texas at this point by the democrats. so, you know, we have to look ahead to candidates, to the nomination. it's going to be difficult. and yet with all of those polls showing democrats beating donald trump even in a state like texas, most of the people polled say that donald trump will win re-election. speaks to, i don't know, maybe the insecurity of democrats moving forward. leland: all right. +4 for biden in texas in a head to head right now against trump. john hancock, last word to you on this. is missouri safely trump country? >> oh, yeah. missouri's totally safe trump country. one of my key points, he'll win by double digits again.

10:44 am
they wanted to see fbi reports of parents who potentially were not charged in this case. and it seems to be one strategy taking shape will be to contend that, to be parents, their clients thought they were making donations versus bribes. what do you think of that strategy? >> i think it's a bad strategy. i personally think most of the remaining defendants are on a crash course for the prison, because the focus has solely been on what the money is or isn't for. but that still leaves them exposed on the mail fraud and conspiracy charges which carry up to 40 years in prison. i think the money is a secondary issue. molly: we will see the first sentencing in this case a little later on this week. one of the coaches, the former sailing coach at stanford, had pled guilty, of course, of conspiracy to commit racketeer thing. that carries a possible 10-year prison term, the government recommending 18 months in his case. we will see what happens when he goes before the judge, he's really kind of the standard issue in this case, essentially

makes the argument that students pay $500,000, ultimately, for the stanford sailing program through this mechanism. the judge doesn't have to follow the prosecution's recommendation though. how closely do you think the lawyers, the clients, the parents, the other coaches and administrators that are charged whether they chose to plead at this point in time and are going forward, how close toly will these people be watching this for sentencing? >> i think it's going to be very close. what we're waiting to see is the baseline for sentencing. which is why the sailing coach, i think they -- the prosecutor actually reduced the original recommendation because i think they want to is set a low baseline so that future charges, which will be more severe and have more money involved, will have a greater flexibility and range. they're not going to be locked into a recommendation if they eliminate pleas in the future. molly: and will it make a difference, for instance, the set of parents that pled guilty, a couple allegedly who paid $600,000 to ringleader of this scam in an effort to get their

kids into usc and ucla. they put out an apology saying no words can expressly describe how profoundly sorry we are for what we have done. it appears they would be the first parents, could we see that being different from this first coach being sentenced, and will their open regret make a difference? >> it will make a difference even though i think it's an empty open regret. part of the guidelines for sentencing is it's a point system. and one of the evaluations that they need to look at is whether or not the defense has taken responsibility for their actions. so those like these parents who pled early and speak of remorse and regret will probably get a lower sentencing recommendation. molly: for instance, felicity huffman who pled a little earlier, she only paid $15,000, so a small amount of money at least compared to many of the other parents involved in this case. she was very cheerful before the judge as she made her plea, and
10:47 am
you contrast againstly loughlin and her husband, where essentially it seem to be getting closer and closer to a trial. if you were a jury recommending what path these parents should take, what would you say? >> i would have told them to jump ship and take a plea because there's an overwhelming amount of evidence and co-conspirators that are already giving testimony. first of all, i don't think people are going to believe she paid 500,000 as a donation, but if she submitted anything to colleges that have fraudulent or false either in the application or the acceptance, then she's committed mail fraud, and there's no way around that. that's a 20-year sentence possibility. molly: and one of the more interesting things was this idea of foster hearings, essentially, there's an argument being made, how connected some of the parents may be that there's a conflict of interest involved. that attorney it is essentially involved in one case may also be involved in another case or a coach or a parent, and the judge wants to see those parents in
10:48 am
court and talk about conflict of interest. how much of a play do you think that'll be in this as it goes forward? >> well, it's not a conflict yet. it's more of the appearance of a possible conflict because some of the attorneys represent some of the schools and some of the parents but not in the same action. now, if we see any of the schools taking private action like a civil action against many of the parents, then we're going to have an actual conflict, but they really should be looking at it now because it could interfere with this ongoing criminal prosecution. molly: certainly, it'll keep things busy in federal court in boston. brad micklin, thanks for joining us. leland: at least it's summertime in boston. as much as we appreciate brad's thoughts and insight, the gambit of opinions in terms of whether these parents have really a case to be made or reason to plead not guilty, etc., it really goes across the whole spectrum. as you pointed out, some parents were saying i'm not going to plead guilty, and ohs say
