and i guarantee you trump will see this as a win. when people start to question his pick for kash patel to direct the fbi he's going to said told you so into the corruption we have to start with a clean slate. >> as you pointed out earlier joe biden has gone off script from the democrat playbook and has handed donald trump a win in the political sense. >> should we do another hour? >> that would be nice. >> i will kick you under the table. >> i don't know why he had to lie all that time when everybody says would you accept the vice presidency you say. >> that means 15 seconds, that does it for us we will see you next weekend read always dvr if you cannot catch his life saturday night in america with trey show is up next. stay here on fox news channel ♪ ♪ ♪

♪. trey: good evening, thank you for joining us i'm trey gowdy it is "sunday night in america", january is out with the old and in with the new which includes government. republicans will take control of the house, the senate and the white house which brings the rare gift of actually being able to govern. history says it might not last long but maybe that's because the party in control squandered the gift maybe a new chapter of history can be written by following through on what you pledge to do. where to start what is first on the agenda what matters most to you in your life and your money and your security in our security of the country. tonight the questions or years, for the answers i get a be getting help from subject matter experts, let's get right to it. >> i am mike kelly from indianapolis, indiana, i was

wondering what you thought president trump could do on his first day in office without the help of congress. trey: a lot, he can issue executive orders he can resend previous orders he can call the speaker majority leader and set priorities for the legislative agendas he can call world leaders in putting into the complex while keeping close ties with her allies he can make sure his white house counsel in d.o.j. hit the ground running finding judges and u.s. attorneys. he can also set the tone for the country with his inaugural address. he will be present for everyone even those who did not vote for him. it's an awesome audit responsibility. i'm sure who meet the moment by doing exactly what he promised to do. >> now on m national committee co-chair lara trump welcome laura thank you for joining us, congratulations on the overwhelming victory. it's an awesome gift in the long

to do list, wade ucr new president starting. >> is an awesome gift. i say all the time i actually believe that this country is really going to enter the golden age of america like you hear donald trump talk about all the time and i think it's only possible now i think had donald trump continued his four-year term for the second time in 2020 and reelected i don't know that you would've seen the groundswell of support the awakening that we had in america and i actually believe that we are poised for greatness ahead. you mentioned a lot of things that i think you will see happen on day one of donald trump being back in the oval office. i think he wants to do the exact opposite of what joe biden and, the hair stood on day one he wants to open up the pipelines in drill baby drill he wants to

bring america not just to energy independence but energy dominance that will be huge in this country landed on the world stage obviously it'll help bring inflation down and it will get us back on track in america very quickly. he also wants to address the southern border this was the number two issue if you look at polling throughout the course of the campaign cycle this is the number two issue for most people in this country we cannot have a country if we do not have a border in uc tom home in time and time again, his borders are is pretty clear tom homan will be the opposite of our orders are, here's whatever donald trump is inaugurated and puts his people in place. by all accounts what my father-in-law learned the first four years in office is really important to where we are in this country right now he went into the white house in 2017 and had no understanding of washington, d.c., he came fresh out of the tv media mogul and went into politics and became president and he relied a lot on

the folks in d.c. to say these are the folks to put in place to work alongside of you we saw why that was the problem of first-round he's not making that mistake again and i have a slate of people working alongside of him in washington, d.c. that will be truly transformational for america. i believe the transformation that we will see in this country in the next four years will only be challenged by the transformation at our inception at the ghetto be absolutely incredible to see, buckle up everybody. trey: is also not going to have a bogus fbi investigation clouding his second term like he did his first term let's listen to the president-elect himself in alaska but on the other side. >> the trump vance administration will begin rapidly reversing every single biden harris disaster starting on day one. we will in the inflation nightmare. we will seal the border and we will stop the terrible invasion

that is destroying our country. we will crush migrant crime and return law in order to restrict and restore patriotism for schools. we will bring down energy prices very rapidly. >> some of those things he can do by himself others require congressional action i'm all about setting realistic expectations because people can be impatient what is a realistic speed by which he can act by which he just lay i think you want congress to work alongside the president to enact lasting change this isn't something that'll be the next four years but in perpetuity in the future of america. you see how dangerous it is to rule by executive order look exactly what joe biden in kalama harris stood when they took over they reversed the policies that were beneficial to the country because they were done by

executive order. i think it'll take a little finesse with congress but the good news is donald trump is going into the term in office with the house and senate he really does believe is going to work alongside of him. it was amazing we were able to get a majority in both the senate and the house in you have to work prior to getting to successful i think is going to try to do a lot of these things differently and make them a lot more permanent this go around the new saw the first time. what are the things that you mentioned leading into the segment with me was peace in the middle east, peace around the world and what's happening with russia and ukraine in the hornets nest in the middle east. i have already seen my father-in-law brokering peace in

the middle east before he has even taken the office of president again. that is something that i believe only donald trump could do. people remember how he was the first time that he was president, they remember peace through strength with the united states and people did not dare try it with us because they knew donald trump met business. i think people are listening, paying attention right now all around the world and our adversaries and allies and i believe what you're going to see happen very quickly in europe and the middle east is going to be peace for everybody coming up very shortly after donald trump takes the white house. trey: yet historic peace agreement and what nobody thought was possible in a pretty overwhelming victory in november, thank you so much we hope you had a great thanksgiving we look forward to seeing you soon. >> thank you so much. trey: for your next question.

>> rich from buffalo new york, just wondering if you were in the congress what would be your top priority for this incoming administration no. trey: it would be twofold security, secure the border begin the process of removing those i came to this country unlawfully enough committed additional crime coming to america as a gift like being born here is a gift if you squander that by violating our laws you can pack your bags no more americans raped, robbed, murdered or assaulted by those had that have no business being here. find the children that a been lost in the system is unconscionable to lose children somewhere in the so-called system in terms of national security the bigger you are, the stronger you are the less you have to talk we need a stronger bigger navy and we need to make sure they know naked aggression against our friends and allies who will be met with swift response, here to discuss more fox news contributor jason

chaffetz, you worked on the refugee abuse and congress how do you separate legitimate request for help from those who are gaming the system. >> first of all clad to be with you i think your list is right, asylum under president obama they started changing the definition and it comes to the standard of credible fear in the fear needs to be if you go back to your home country will you be assassinated or killed or something horrific like that instead obama changed it for everybody qualified and everybody was invited to this country and biden harris accelerated that. you have to go back and look at asylum in defining and go back to the reasonable edible fear standard and that congress can do and should take up right awau and i sat side-by-side in the

judiciary what kind of oversight would you do on d.o.j. there are more stories about the d.o.j. taking a pass on charging while her former colleagues away another trial for not acing a 6-month-old memory test what would you do is oversight chair or you judiciary to provide oversight over the bureau and the department. >> crucible the speaker needs to show up and make sure everybody's healthy one or two seat majority you have to make sure you still have the gavel. then you have to work with you administration to get your subpoena and documents into the hands of congress and start to pry open what is been going on. the american people have lost in the department of justice, lady justice doesn't have a blindfold on. you can see that there's so many examples with peter strzok and lisa page and others where people have lost total confidence, the department of justice has been in the business of political targeting as

opposed to going back to the core mission of providing safety and going after the criminals in the espionage and whatnot, the house judiciary committee has a lot of that a lot of goes to james comer the oversight committee but they had to get them back on track and restore the confidence in the american people, by and large the workforce is good to be drilled the donald trump is the president, pam bondi the attorney general and incompetent house and senate that is in republican hands. i think that gives them a lot of confidence. trey: you may have a new fbi director. you worked on secret service reform when you were in congress what can and should congress do their move them back to the treasury, what should be done with the secret service. >> we looked at it for two and half years issued a 450 page report led to more than 150 incidents and basic things that have to happen most people think of the secret service local protective agency most of their

mission is dealing with currency and making sure that credit card fraud and whatnot. i would take the protective mission and focus on that. it comes down to recruitment, training, workload, communication and technology. that is the scorecard go back and look at it i think they should take the currency and the problems with credit card transaction and overseas payments give that back to the united states treasury at this but that often focus on the protective mission in the uniform division cul into thosee things i think they will be better on track and better serve the president in this country. trey: i never understood combining and protecting the president of the united states with investigating fake 20-dollar bills, i never understood the connection between the two. jason chaffetz former chair of house oversight committee, i hope you had a great thanksgiving. thank you for joining us on a sunday night.

>> thank you. trey: coming up on the "sunday night in america", more of your questions and answers with former secretary of state mike i'm yael eckstein of the international fellowship of christians and jews, and this hanukkah holiday is of urgent importance. this is our last chance to help thousands of holocaust survivors who are suffering today. have you eaten this morning? i ate the carrot, so i ate half of it yesterday, and this is what she ate in two days. please pray for me! the international fellowship of christians and jews began this ministry to help elderly jews living in horrible poverty. this hanukkah, your urgently needed gift of only $25, will help rush a food box packed full of life-saving essentials, and includes everything they need to celebrate the miracle of the hanukkah holiday.

generous donations. >> to sponsor a wreath and honor a veteran, visit wreaths across america.org. >> hello, trey, my name is tom jarvis. i'm from san diego, california, and my question for you is what do you see as the greatest national security threats facing america in the future? >> china is bigger than all other threats combined. not only is their military large and powerful, but we have too much interconnectivity and dependency on china. we need to make more of our own things and rebuild our military for nontraditional warfare. i'm not sure our navy is where it needs to be, but let's don't ask a

lawyer. let's ask a west point grad who also happened to be the director of the cia and secretary of state mike pompeo. welcome, mr. secretary. so what do you see as our top national security threat? >> well, trey, it's great to be with you. look, you identified the chinese communist party as that threat. that's true. it has many dimensions. one of them is at our southern border. president trump is already engaged in putting real pressure on them. talking about putting tariffs on fentanyl continues to cross come across our border from china. there's a lot of work to do to rebuild and restructure the strategic arm of our navy. its capacity to deter our adversary in the pacific. and then the chinese communist party has a massive information and propaganda campaign being waged all throughout the united states. and we've got to confront that as well. i'm convinced president trump understands this threat at a deep level, and that he is building a team, including our good friend john

ratcliffe at the central intelligence agency, that understands this threat and will protect the american people from it. very effectively. >> all right. mr. secretary, one could argue that among the big losers on election night would be iran. what can and should president trump do to ease the tensions in the middle east and kind of put iran on notice that they're there? their evil actions have to discontinue. >> trey, it's interesting, again, in some ways, no one really even mentions president biden these days because president trump is the focus of the iranian regime today. not only the threats against him and some of his former senior officials, but in the middle east. we saw a cease fire agreement with lebanon between lebanon and israel that that wouldn't have happened. i'm confident, had president, excuse me, had president harris become president. vice president harris been president. this happens because the bad guys know that the new sheriff is coming back into town. and i think president trump will revert to the model

that we had for four years, which was to deter iran by putting economic pressure on them. an important critical tool, by putting true diplomatic pressure on them, by denying them the access to the things that they need so they can build out their nuclear weapons program, and then making very clear to our allies in the region, to israel, our closest and most trusted partner, and to the gulf arab states who are great friends and security partners. for us, we're with you. we will not fail you. we will continue to support you. we all have a common threat from the islamic republic of iran and the united states is going to lead the effort to ensure that american lives aren't put at risk by that regime. >> all right, mr. secretary, let's listen to the president elect on ukraine and russia, and i'll ask you about it on the other side. >> i will end the war in ukraine, which would have never happened if i were president. i will stop the chaos in the middle east. i will prevent world war three from happening. we've never been so close. we didn't start wars 79, 80 years.

everybody said, oh, he's going to start wars with his attitude. no, my attitude kept us out of wars. i stopped wars with phone calls. russia should have never happened with ukraine would have never happened if i were president would have never happened. >> can the war in eastern europe be ended without rewarding putin, without ukraine ceding any territory, or else it rewards him for his aggression? >> trey, undoubtedly, this conflict can be brought to a conclusion. president trump deterred vladimir putin for four years. we had a great record. he invaded, took a fifth of ukraine under president obama, not an inch for four years, and then went back at it again. when american strength is restored, good outcomes happen for good people. and that's the people of western democracies, places like europe, like our friends in japan and singapore. i am convinced that president trump, he's now identified general

kellogg to be his envoy to ukraine, has a theory of the case which will deliver an outcome that is just and fair, where vladimir putin sees that no longer will this aggression be tolerated, will things be okay in moscow, but not okay in kyiv or risk in warsaw? he'll he'll restore the right balance. he'll demand that the europeans do more. i'm convinced that they will, because of president trump and his leadership. and when that happens, when we put our allies out there and we support them, you can begin to deliver the very peace that the entire world is demanding that the ukrainian people so richly deserve, given all that they have sacrificed in these last now, two and a half years. >> mike pompeo, with one of the more illustrious resumes, despite his youthful appearance, one of the more illustrious resumes in all of public service. thank you for joining us on this sunday night, and thank you for your service to our country. >> thank you sir. so long. >> yes, sir. you two next. tom

homan was picked to make our border secure and remove those who should not be here. he joins us to discuss your questions on deportations. only on this special edition of sunday night in america.

as we sit here in normandy your son hunter is on trial and i know you cannot speak about an ongoing federal prosecution but let me ask you will you accept the jury's outcome the british no matter what it is. >> sb mcafee rolled the apartment for use on. >> yes. >> welcome back to "sunday night in america" even though he said he would not he issued a broad pride under pardon for hunter hunter biden has been convicted of gotten charges and merrick garland money d.o.j. who knows what will happen with the last friendly place at the top of the prosecution we will ever know the partners showed preemptive president-elect donald trump has named kash patel the head of the fbi which means chris ray will not complete his tenure term

kash patel as a federal prosecutor and a former defender and help find the source of the funding from the steele dossier and uncovered prize abuse we worked on the house intelligence committee the media and the laughter pulling the hell but both believe the russia collusion hopes in the first place, joining us arkady and tom dupree to very fine lawyers will help us dissect this, let's start with you i'm so cynical i never believed biden when he said he wasn't going to pardon his child, are you surprised? >> i'm not surprised at all the only question why he carried on for so long at the great expense of american taxpayers there has been so much weaponization of the justice department and this is another example whether he would pardon him or commute his sentence and he denied that

there's no two ways it's a brazen lie in very shameless. trey: tom, you are a smart lawyer why now and why so expensive i would love to have a pardon that went back to college, his pretty much does it is after the conviction but before the sentencing is that to avoid a presentence investigation or the temptation to cooperate against others, why now? >> i think the timing is simple was after the election and the reason why biden was continually lying because the time he was a candidate or, here's with the candidate and he did not want to come out and say what he presumably planed to do all along he wanted to issue it now so it would become before sentencing in the political hit would've been for severe and as the judges sentenced on a hard time on the president issues a pardon the political hit

would've been more significant, that explain the timing but there's no way of getting around this in the put this more gently total disrespect for the rule of law. >> let me ask you about that all three of us were prosecutors were not ordinarily huge fans of pardons although i made exceptions on occasions for people that i thought were wrongly targeted, the president is indeed at the top of the executive branch and we as prosecutors serve under that, what is your general take on pardon, when are they appropriate and what are they legitimate. >> the president has limitless pardon power over federal offenses there is an open legal question about the prospective parties about crimes that have not been indicted that may have occurred during the timeframe. the wording of the pardon is

meant to encompass any and all potential issues that have never been charged but many people have been wondering, mainly the money that they have been getting from ukraine and other overseas sources. his part it is essentially meant to cover that whether it legally and constitutionally does so, it's something that's never been affirmatively adjudicated but i guess we'll see if joe biden tries to issue a pardon for himself before he leaves office altogether then will know what this is really about. >> give us a crash course in law school, parents cannot serve as judges in their children's trial they cannot serve on the jury for their children, they cannot prosecute their children but apparently they can pardon them, i get the unusual fact that he is the president, there is a reason that we don't let parents stand in judgment of their own children, they are not known for the objectivity, are they?

>> exactly they are the least impartial people in the world to sit and decide something like that but if you put your finger on it the reason we are where we are because the constitution speaks broadly and unlimited pardon power and the president of the united states doesn't limit the people that can be pardon in the scope of the pardons and it really trust that we will have chief executives who execute this awesome power in a responsible fair impartial way and we don't think it was exercising a fair and impartial wa. >> for all the talk of retribution and revenge i cannot think of a single person that former president trump prosecuted that was perceived as a political enemy, the opposite shortly after he won i'm knocking to do anything with hillary clinton his exact quote she's been through enough. all the talk of retribution and

revenge, i don't see any evidence of it with respect to president trump. >> that's always been the hypocrisy that donald trump was with a weapon i said just this apartment as they were doing so all along including going along with the charade of the hunter biden for crimes that are not sympathetic at all they are serious and significant for which he does deserve punishment read all prosecutions are in some way selected that there is discussion about who is taking the trial when there's hard evidence and someone deserves to be brought to justice in joe biden has authority to issue the pardon but i don't think it's a highly sympathetic situation i think we know what's going on. trey: let's switch gears the president announced kash patel is the pick at the fbi, i am not at all surprised that christopher wray that he won't

finish on his tenure term, chris ray was told eyeball to eyeball by the speaker of the house you can be part of the cleanup crew or cover-up crew. i don't know that many republicans that think he was part of the cleanup crew, what happened at the bureau before james called me most people cannot tell you the fbi director was, now in my judgment the reputation of the bureau is taken a significant hit, what happened? >> is a great question historians will go back and look at what happened over the last decade and reach different conclusions. in my view the fbi lost the reputation that it always held a being an impartial neutral law enforcement agency. it's become to be seen by many people that it was acting out of political motives in pursuing investigations and prosecutions on the basis of evidence that normally when it justify prosecutions. i think the next director of the fbi is really going to have his

work cut out for him. i do believe the vast majority of fbi employees are loyal honest civil servants and they gotta get back to the place, where we for the last ten years where american people can have total faith and confidence a neutral impartial law enforcement agency in gold standard really. >> i worked elbow to elbow with former federal prosecutor in defender any unique background. i think is been unfairly maligned. i have a confirmation hearing and we shall see what comes out. we wouldn't know about this deal dossier if it wasn't for kash patel and we would have expertise on a sunday night at the been free to price lawyers joining us, thank you for loaning part of your time to us on a sunday night. we will see you both

>> hey trey, this is sandy from brooklyn, just wanting to ask you what do you think the fbi should focus on on the new trump administration. >> crime, that is what they should focus on, title 18, title 21, federal crime while also

providing assistance when asked by state and local authority to the fbi needs to get out of politics. most americans could not name the fbi director until james comer, that's when things started to go south for the bureau, the way he handled hillary clinton in the hopes that was russian collusion and then the people that call me empowered like andy, peter strzok and james baker the fbi got too big for its britches, the power to indict and arrest insurgencies and reinterpretation intake liberty and property and even your life, those are awesome powers, that is enough, get out of politics, stop treating different groups differently, stop targeting people based on their political affiliation people want to be safe we needed fbi that's worthy of our trust and respect away to get back to that is to stop with the political nonsense and return to the fbi focus on fighting crime and now focused

on making the news and inserting itself into politics, former fbi special agent nicole parker joins us now, welcome special agent thank you for your service most americans could not tell you the fbi director was before jim comey and all the sudden one public incident after another, what happened? >> i love your monologue that's exactly how i felt as a fbi special agent i worked my tail off and fbi division working violent crime i want apple the constitution and to protect americans and over and over there was a pattern of the fbi getting involved in politics and expansion specifically became unbearable but you nailed it with the operation crossfire hurricane, the russian collusion hoax it all started under james comey and trump got rid of james comey and then robert jacobson we were hoping that we would set this right get back on track and

unfortunately they did not do that, they did not hold those accountable that had distracted with the fbi they were never held accountable, he comes in and it continues and continues to get worse, under this biden administration ray really was listening to merrick garland do whatever he said and whatever it was political we were taking orders from d.o.j. and the trust of the american people, they do not trust the fbi and i tell you half of the fbi really does not trust the fbi internally, what needs to happen they needed new director to come in their internally to the employee say we are broken i realize there's a lot of people doing amazing work at the fbi but there's a portion that is run the reputation for the entire organization and this must stop now not just to gain the morell of the fbi employees but want to go internally and say we have a problem, christopher wray continues to testify before congress over and over say

everything is great at the fbi, nothing to see here, the fbi employees are not buying at the broken people are not buying it but for ship to address it internally with your employees and go to the public and say we have made many, many mistakes our boss is you the american people. at the fbi they had the same the needs of the bureau is not the needs of the bureau at the needs of the american people you should be able to trust your fbi that they're knocking to be able to come after you because your conservative or republican or you support trump that's not how it should be lady justice must be blind in his gotta change. >> i was literally in the room with the speaker of the house intelligence committee, looked christopher wray in the eye and say you could be part of the cleanup crew or part of the cover-up crew. that's your choice clean this up or cover this up for reasons i don't think i'll understand, christopher wray decided to become jim comey, my question

are there any policy issues or is it strictly personnel and by that does the jurisdiction need to be changed by the bureau or is it the wrong people and charged. >> i want to believe it the wrong people in charge and want to get those wrong people out of positions of power you put in people that can be trusted the loyalty and the motives are. , they are there to protect the american people and what you're getting people to do the right thing for the right reasons it's very simple, integrity it comes down to integrity, fidelity, bravery and integrity, if everyone would operate with integrity we would not have this problem. >> that's what the i stands for its hard enough to get folks, good women to men to run for office who are serving government it's harder when their lives are threatened, the

trump ten enter transition put out a statement to nominees so everyone knows and i don't know if you saw that memo or not. >> i worked these types of crimes i was on the violent crime squad and bomb threats in the case out of miami the individual was sending pipe bombs to democrats back in 2018 that is unacceptable i don't care where you stand on the political spectrum using violence or threats of violence is not okay. we live in a world where technology these individuals these offenders can hide behind technology they can mask themselves and give them a self a lot of autonomy empowered and he gives them a platform to recap it there is one message for the individuals that is not okay it is un-american in the fbi you must use the full force to track these individuals down and hold them accountable. this is not okay no one should feel like their life is endangered or threatened because

they've simply been asked to serve and the newer administration. >> the message for congress you may what to do something about encryption so it's easier to track these people robert water, thank you so much for joining us on a sunday night, thank you for having. >> the t word will become back for special night of "sunday night in i'm yael eckstein of the international fellowship of christians and jews, and this hanukkah holiday is of urgent importance. this is our last chance to help thousands of holocaust survivors who are suffering today. have you eaten this morning? i ate the carrot, so i ate half of it yesterday, and this is what she ate in two days. please pray for me! the international fellowship of christians and jews began this ministry to help elderly jews living in horrible poverty.

>> this is cheryl from buffalo new york hope all is well i wondered your thoughts on how president trump's proposed tariffs will have an impact. trey: my hope is that levels the playing field for u.s. manufacturing another countries get the message that we will protect our workers from unfair competition and we will protect her innovators from unfair appropriation of their ideas tear its people's attention if you want access to our market you want to play. if you can manufacture it here you should we also export a lot so we are asking folks for a level playing field, tariffs can be a very effective negotiating tool, joining is now senior visiting fellow in economics of the heritage foundation and trump economic advisor yes, sir stephen moore, walk-up mystery let's ask about the t word and all asking the other side. >> it must be hard for you to

spend 25 years talking about tariffs that's been negative and have 70 explain to you that you're totally wrong and you could have pierced everything what of them that will push up the cost for all of these people who want to buy foreign goods. >> a simple mathematics. >> it is not the way you figured out, i was always good at mathematics, the higher the tariffs, the more likely it is that the company will come into the united states and build a factor in the united states so it doesn't have to be the tariff. you make the tariff so high and so horrible and so obnoxious that they will come right away. trey: what do tariffs doing when are they properly apply? >> trump is resetting the rules, is he he is basically telling countries, you have to do things that are americans national security and economic interest

or we will hit you with tariffs, use the strategy quite effectively, i am a free-trade guy i believe it countries trade with each other by definition both countries are better off, we have leverage, trump is used to leverage extremely effectively whether a border policy whether it's getting nations like china to stop stealing and cheating and not playing by the rules, i think this is a strategy that can work for both countries and i like the fact that he saying that countries stop cheating, stop stealing, stop letting fentanyl in this country or will hit you hard with tariffs, believe me back it's their attention. >> speaking of attention, china gets a lot but recently the president-elect highlighted mexico and canada was added trade wording or an immigration warning, how did you view the. >> fentanyl is coming to the

country in huge amounts. it is coming from mexico it is coming from china, they did very little to stop it from happening, they could very easily cooperate and do what is in america's interest in their own interest by stopping the flow. by the way you know this fentanyl is one of the leading causes of death of our young people in america they were importing poison into this country that we cannot tolerate and trump is getting very tough with these countries. i believe this will work out for the best. i think canada, mexico and china will say we will get tougher on this and we will stop the drug lord for bringing in the poisonous substance into our country, they can do it in trump is basically pushing them to do it. trey: i want you to imagine you sitting beside president trump in the ceo says we want to

manufacture here but the regulatory process makes it impossible or too costly for us to do it, what is his response going to be, there may be people that want to be back to the u.s. better regulatory apparatus, it is so complicated. >> i believe a free-trade situation where everybody has a level playing field that you just heard about, i think we have the best manufacturers the best technology of people, the best construction industry in the world, i think we can compete with anybody, it is a table that is not flat it's basically leaning in the direction of other countries, many ways we show shoot ourselves in the foot you meant to the regulations there are thousands of regulation that make it so expensive to do business in america, i have to tell you you have to strap in and buckled up, literally in the first hour the president comes in to the oval office he is

going to be signing hundreds of executive orders that untangle the regulation, get them off the back of our businesses because they can't compete and they will compete and we will be anybody but we can't if we ever owned regulatory climate that is putting us at a disadvantage. >> it might be a good time to put them in golf because his hand will be tired and blistered from siding executive orders, all keep that in mind, stephen moore, thank you for joining us on a sunday night. >> thank you. trey: thank you for spending part of your sunday with us. i hope you had a great thanksgiving and have a great week ahead. until next week you can find us online at gowdy america or the tri-county podcast good night from shannon: i am a shannon bream.
