Im elizabeth macdonald. The evening edit starts right now. Elizabeth thanks for joining us, youre watching the fox business network. Lets start with the spacex rocket launch. It was going to make historied today, the first time in miami years actual, two nasa astronauts would have launched from u. S. Soil. It will make history when it does launch. The next launch date is this saturday. Lets get right to retired u. S. Army fourstar general, general jack keane. So great to have you on again. This would have also have been the first private company with spacex involved. What was your reaction when you saw this happening with nasa and spacex in. Well, thats actually historic in and of itself. I think this partnership is ideal moving forward. Theres so much that the private sector is already doing in space and makes just a lot of sense to partner with the United States government. And its wonderful to see the United States back into the space again with launching out of the United States. Well wait, youre, three days you know, three days. Were quite used to it now, you know, for an entire generation plus, the temperamental weather that we have in florida, you know, to be sure. But i think its very significant, liz. I thought it was a huge strategic mistake on the part of the Obama Administration to back away from our Space Program and essentially shut it down after president bush had invested for five years in going back to the moon. I think it was a disappointing lack of imagination on the Obama Administrations part. I mean, here we have the oldest and most open democracy in the world that was leading the world in Space Exploration x thats who you want. The International Community wants us to do that. Why . Because we have the right set of values to do that. Were doing it to benefit all mankind, not just the United States. We know, sadly at some point and its coming very soon space will be very weaponized. And its our adversaries who are forcing us to do that. But this is about helping mankind in general, and were on the right path here. It will be historic. Weve got to go to the moon, and then were going to go to mars, and that is the kind of imagination i think the American People will welcome. Not to say of the Huge International prestige and pride that comes with the United States leading in Space Exploration. Elizabeth you know, the president promised to reassert americas push back into space. He signed a nearly 740 billion defense spending bill back in december. It created a space force, a sixth branch of the apartmented forces. Armed forces. He was roundly mocked and ridiculed. Youre talking also about the vision looking up and out to the stars to broaden our heinzs and look horizons and basically create a new era of space heroes, right . Nasa administrator Jim Bridenstine said were launching american astronauts and rockets from american soil, its a pretty big deal. Its stunning and reassuring to americans during the time of the covid19 pandemic. No doubt about it. Probably more people will witness it than normal because were sheltering down. Even though itll be a weekend. Ive seep one of these launches myself years ago, you know, with humans in it, and ill tell you what, it is a gripping experience. Its absolutely thrilling. I cannot imagine what it is like to sit on top of a rocket and be blown off a launch pad into space and the adrenaline that must be inside of our astronauts in doing that. [laughter] it is absolutely amazing. I give them so much credit for putting their life in the hands of literality hundreds of scientists and engineers when they sit there and anticipate that rocket burst lifting them off the launch pad. What a moment that is. And what a moment for america to witness that event again. As we probably got a little used to it in the past. We got a whole new generation here that can get excited about space. And youre right, the space force has electrified young peoples imagination in america. And some of that certainly elizabeth yeah. Developed years ago by hollywood and others in terms of the magic of it. But, yeah, this is harsh ready. We need reality. We need a space force to deal with our adversaries who fully intend to use space to bring harm to america. So this is coldeyed military capability that we need to have. If. Elizabeth but you make a great point that, you know, america once flew nine crewed missions with astronauts to outer space. When jfk set hearts and minds alight, set them on fire with the vision of going into outer space and inspired, as you said, electrified generations of children to come about being space heroes. It happened under Richard Nixon and then ensuing administration to lift us up out of our, you know, whatever milieu, whatever were doing right now just to have that vision and imagination. And youre right, i think it does galvanize hearts and minds to step up and outside of ourselves to look to new horizons. Right, general . Yeah. We got into it, as a business proposition, the thought was the previous at manager did a cost benefit analysis, we had some setbacks, some horrific, tragic deaths, to be sure, and whats the cost of this. But we watched that same administration throw hundreds of billions of dollars to shoveljobs that never materialized. It was a lack of imagination that drove that decision. Not everything is dollars and cents. If it was dollars and cents, the United States as we know it today, the explorers wouldnt have come here. They put themselves at risk to find this new world and the courage that they had to do Something Like that. This is america at its best, ive always believed, when we took on space as an exploration and succeeded so magnificently in doing it. Its good to see us back. Elizabeth general, its great to have you back on the sew. Were going to see you later in the show, were going to talk about whats going on with iran moving into venezuela, fuel, oil, possibly military hardware. Hezbollah and hamas may be now active in venezuela. Youre going to come back in just a sec. Lets bring in former nasa astronaut jose hernandez. Were excited to have him on the show, Mission Specialist in the International Space station where the falcon 9 was headed, also the first astronaut to come from a mexican immigrant family. Its great to have you on. Your reaction to rocket launch with two nasa astronauts, what was your first reaction when you saw this attempt at an incredible feat . First of all, good afternoon, liz, and thank you for having me here on your program. And, well, i know what the astronauts are going through because i, too, suffered a launch delay due to bad weather back in 2009 on sts128 mission aboard Space Shuttle discovery. And ill tell you, it is disappointing. But the running joke is, hey, you trained for so many years, you know, a twoday delay, threeday delay is not going to make much difference. And so elizabeth yeah. What you do have though is you do have a lot of adrenaline, and it takes a while for you to come down once you get off the ship and say, hey, we have got toot id again on saturday to do it again on saturday. Elizabeth yeah. You wonder how youre going to sleep for two more nights. Elon musk praised the two heroes for, quote, nerves of steel, saying they were cool as a cucumber. Now, theyre both veteran space travelers. They basically are going to head to the International Space station which you worked on. I mean, this crew crag gone capsule dragon capsule sits atop a Million Pounds of propellant, within three minutes hits supersonic speed, breaking through the sound barrier, breaking new the speed of sound. What was that like to travel like that . What was it like to be on the International Space station . Oh, man, it was great because, you know, you go from 0 Miles Per Hour at tminus 0 secs and 8. 5 minutes later youre traveling over 17,a 500 miles an hour 17,500, experiencing 3gs of force. Its like a 500pound gorilla stepping on your chest, and then when you reach main engine cutoff, the 500pound gorilla disappears, and now youre floating in space. Its the best eticket ride disney could ever hope for. [laughter] elizabeth jose, tell us what it means to you for your family to immigrate into america from mexico . Well, its, you know, its a great story. You know, im first generation american, i consider myself an american. Im proud to say that. I was born in stockton, california, where im living here now. And we were a typical migrant, farmworking family. My family used to come and work nine months picking fruits and vegetables and go to their home state in central mexico for three months. During that time period, i was born here in california. We finally settled in california and due to this great Education System we have here in the u. S. , i was able to follow the american dream. My father taught me that hard work and education is always a good combination, and thats what i, i put forth. And ever since i saw [inaudible] walk on the surface of the moon, i knew as a 10yearold i wanted to be an astronaut. Elizabeth wow, and you did it, jose thanks so much for coming on. Its great to have you on, sir. Thanks for your service to the country. Good to have you. Okay, next up thank you so much. Were going to take you to whats going on now in the race for the white house. Joe biden answering back, firing back at criticism that hes been hiding in a basement, but hes basically saying, yes, i have been, and its working. Hes also blaming the radio interview charl he main the god for saying black voters aint black if they vote for trump. Were going to bring in analyst Gianna Caldwell to weigh in on the 2020 race.

Newly revealed Text Messages obtained by investigative journalist and Fox News Contributor john solomon show former fbi counterintelligence agent peter strzok, lisa page and fbi lawyer, former fbi lawyer and also thenfbi assistant director william prestaff worried about sharing Sensitive Information with the Obama Administration. Strategic analysts are now asking does the concern in these Text Messages reflect their concern that a president barack obama had ill will and negative feelings toward Michael Flynn . Was that the reason the investigation was kept open when the fbi wanted to shut it down . Lets break all of this down with former fbi Deputy Assistant director danny coulson. First, your reaction about these Text Messages. Whats your take on this . They shouldnt have been talking to him about a pending case anyway. And remember, the agents in the field said theres no case here, and strzok said, today them not to close it. What was that context . Was it after the white house . Before or during their contact with the white house . Theres a lot of questions here. The fbis not supposed to be a show and tell organization. Where you run up and say, look what were doing. They were way off the reservation and should never have done that stuff anyway, so i have serious concerns about their behavior here and, of course, in other areas too. Elizabeth okay. Lets go through the Text Messages that john solomon got. January 3, 2017, peter strzok texts lisa page saying william prestaff, like us, is concerned with oversharing, doesnt want jim clapper getting c. R. To the white house. Just shows our hand and potentially makes enemies x. Then it seems like peter strzok was referring to evidence into the investigation of Michael Flynn. She texts back, yeah, but keep in mind, we were going to put that in the documents on friday. Then peter strzok texts back, the question is, should we particularly to the entirety of the lame duck u. S. Intelligence community with partisan axes to grind . It look like the comments that strzok is making just shows our hand, you know what i mean . It just seems like theres a big back story that the American Voter is not seeing in what was going on with the fbi communicating with the obama white house. Do you think that president barack obama wanted to keep the flynn case open, and when the fbi wanted to shut it down, he was the one who got flynn fired as his dni back in 2014. What do you think . What i think is follow the rules. The rules say the fbi does not talk about pending investigations. And theres no other reason to talk about that case except for politics. And they were way off the reservation. They were dead wrong, and they should have known better. Elizabeth you know, lets listen to attorney general william barr talk to cbs Katherine Catherine herridge about how top officials in the Obama Administration, he says, were so wedded to the narrative, so aligned and wedded to the narrative about trumprussia conspiracy and the probe into Michael Flynn that they drove everything to a preset conclusion. Watch this. These are very smart people who were working in the special counsels office and at senior levels of the fbi. So what drove them here . Well, i think one of the things you have to guard against both as a prosecutor and i think as an investigator is that if you get too wedded to a particular outcome and youre pursuing a particular agenda, you close your eyes to anything that sort of doesnt fit with your preconception. And i think thats probably the phenomena were looking at here. Elizabeth danny, your reaction is . Totally agree. Follow the evidence. Dont come to a conclusion or some principle and then adapt the evidence to that. Follow the evidence, let it take you where it goes, and then present it to a grand jury. If youve got a case, youve got it. Elizabeth all right. Danny coulson, we love having you on, come back soon. Thanks, appreciate it. Meth elizabeth okay.

President trump just tweeting out, quote with if that fisa bill is passed tonight on the house floor, the fisa reform bill, i quickly veto it. Our country has just suffered new the greatest political crime in its history. The massive abuse of the fisa court was a big part of it. Were going to dig deeper into this coming up in just a bit with republican ben kline. He sits on house judiciary. Lets get back to the 2020 race. Heres biden answering back at criticism that hes been campaigning out of a basement. Basically saying, yes, i am, and its working. Hes blaming the radio interviewer, carl he main the god, for bidens statement that biden voters aint black if they vote for president trump. Watch this. All this stuff about bidens hiding . Well, you know, the fact of the matter is, its working pretty well. First of all, you know, i it was a mistake, number one, and i was smiling when he asked me the question. I was i shouldnt have been such a wise guy. He was being a wise guy, and i responded. Im prepared to say that i have a record of over 40 years and that im going to beat joe biden. Elizabeth fox news political analyst and author ijanuarying no ijanuary no caldwell. We should point out that the last joe biden clips, he actually said im going to be joe biden. We dont know if theres a misstatement or not. But what do you think of him, you know, sort of saying its okay to be sort of campaigning out of a basement and pushing back on charl charlemagne the gn that interview . What was your reaction when you heard all that . You know what . It was bizarre to me that joe biden chooses to continue lying and then placing blame on other people for his comments. Joe, in my opinion, was not joking when he said if you dont vote for me, you aint black. He was very serious s and how i know this is because this has been the internal messaging of the Democratic Party for decades. When i became a conservative many, many years ago, those were the same things i was told by members of the black community and otherwise. So for not one second do i believe that was a joke. I believe that was internal messaging coming out. And its greatly disappointing that this guy is running for president of the United States, and this is the way that he thinks. Elizabeth you know, House Majority whip jim clyburn said he cringed at joe bidens comments. And so heres the thing, gianno, the africanAmerican Voter has correctly selected who wins the presidency, the president ial winner, more than half the time since the 1990s. So youre saying joe biden wasnt joking, this is just what is basically taken as the narrative inside the Democrat Party that maybe other americans dont even realize is going on, that your take . Thats absolutely correct. Many americans, i would say most white americans probably dont even know this, but africanamericans have been the central ones to vote in those who would be the presumptive nominee for the Democratic Party since jesse jackson. And whats problematic for africanamericans is africanamericans continue to select democrats, they continue to be taken for granted and get nothing for their vote. And this is a hard lesson i think that africanamericans have been learning for years, but theyre really learning it this year. Elizabeth you know, since joe biden started running for president , he threatened to physically punch out another voter who questioned joe biden about his basically confusing position on gun rights, he also called a voter fat and a liar, he challenged another voter to an iq test because that man a had the audacity to ask joe biden about his sons, the suspect conflicts of interest, suspected conflicts of interest working for a ukrainian gas company, sitting on the board of it. So, you know, you watch joe biden in action, he comes across as maybe overly angry and feisty. Your take on that. Yes, this is a problem. This isnt what we should be doing as americans, this isnt what joe biden should should beg if he says hes the better individual to win the presidency. Its incredibly unfortunate, and this is where we are, and this is what democrats are going to have to deal with. Elizabeth gianno, lets switch gears here. I would like to get your reaction to the death of george floyd in minneapolis. He died after being detained by police officers. Video shows george floyd on the ground, an officer kneeling on him, floyd saying he cant wreath, he later breathe, he later died. The fbis investigating. The mayor is now calling for that dismissed officer to be arrested. Your reaction to this story . You know, this is a really tough one for me, liz, and i say that because for so many africanamericans being black feel like a curse. And i say that because before you know my name, the content of my character, before you know my moral compass, im already considered a threat to so many americans. Whether that be while you walk your dog through the park, while im jogging down the street or while you have my knee on my neck and im screaming i cant breathe. This is a problem in this country, and i think for many people theyre looking for accountability from law enforcement, and their looking for theyre looking for everyone to come together as a country so we can solve this major issue of racism in this country. Elizabeth january know, we love i hear you. We love having you on. Will you come back soon . Please, absolutely, id love to. Thank you so much for this opportunity. Elizabeth sure. We love your insights and perspectives. Gianno callwell, great writer. There is clear evidence of iran rapidly increasing its presences in venezuela. Venezuela is now in economic collapse due to the communist dictatorship here. Nicolas maduro welcomed the arrival of the first of five iranian tankers shipping oil to venezuela. Venezuela is an opec member nation, theyre bringing were bringing back jack keane. Hes going to come back with us to talk about this when you think of a bank, you think of people in a place.

They will, but with accident forgiveness allstate wont raise your rates just because of an accident, even if its your fault. Cut sonny. Was that good . Line the desert never lies. Isnt that what i said . No you were talking about allstate and insurance. I just. When i. Lets try again. Everybody back to one. Accident forgiveness from allstate. Click or call for a quote today. Elizabeth welcome back. There is now clear evidence that iran is rapidly increasing its presence in venezuela. Venezuela is in an economic collapse. Communist dictator nick cat a Maduro Nicolas maduro has welcomed the arrival of the first of five Iranian Oil Tanker thes shipping oil to venezuela. That happened yesterday. Now the fear is the presence of hezbollah and hamas operatives may be coming into venezuela as well. Lets welcome back are retired fourstar army general jack keane. Venezuela is paying iran reportedly hundreds of millions in. Gold bouillon here. Whats your take here . Cleary, iranian clearly, iranians and venezuela have been linked at the help for some time, and certainly russia, china and cuba are helping maduro as we all know as well. Listen, we have sanctioned iran, and we have sanctioned venezuela. And the principal commodity involved in both of these countries that were sanctioning is oil. So for the life of me, i dont know why over a year ago when we were really cracking down hard on the maduro regime that we didnt establish a blockade to stop commodities that are going to benefit the regime but yet let humanitarian relief medicines and food through. And that should have been our policy. We wouldnt be dealing with this reality thats taking place today. That would have impacted both iran as well as venezuela. Now, so our audience understands, iran is only exporting about 10 of what their daily barrel production rate has been as a result of the sanctions. So those sanctions have been largely very successful. I dont want to diminish the impact of those. But i dont think the sanctions on maduro have been quite as successful as they have been on iran, and this is a way to stop them w a block with decade. Now, International Community recognizes it as an act of war, but the United States would be using it in a very limit role here. Nonetheless, if youre going to do it, its 24 7, and its going to us to cost us resources, certainly. Elizabeth general, correct me if im wrong, are u. S. Navy ships now deployed to the region, and could there be preserving option of a blockade or intercepting the tankers . Will the u. S. Act to do that as you suggest . I dont know. Thats a decision the president would make on the advice of his military a commanders and also s economic advisers in terms of what is the impact on maduros regime. I i mean, the thing that we one of the objectives we have to have here is the reason why maduro has stayed in power despite all of the property stations inside protestations inside the country and out is because his military t is still loyal to him. And, obviously, hes putting money in the back pockets of those leaders x. Also the russians and the cubans have been very significant in propping up the maduro regime. I do believe to elizabeth are you worried about are you worried yeah, go ahead. No, go ahead. You go ahead. Elizabeth are you worried about hezbollah and hamas coming into venezuela in an even bigger way . With well, theyve been, theyve been in south america for over ten years now. Certainly that would add to the challenges there. But theyre already significant. I mean, theres ten of thousands of cuban paramilitary there. Theres some of the best of russian privatized military firms in this propping up and providing security for maduro personally. So this would, yes, it would add to the challenge of the problem. But in and of itself, it wouldnt be that significant because there already is quite a presence of adversaries inside venezuela. Elizabeth okay, general, so sorry we ran out of time. I didnt mean to interrupt you, est we had so many questions for you. Thanks so much for joining us. Come back soon. Good talking to you, liz. Elizabeth were going to stay on the breaking news, that the president is now warning if the house passes the fisa bill, the reform bill in its present state right now, that he will veto it.

Ends sunday. Elizabeth more on the president s tweet that we toll you about just a few minutes ago. Quote if that nices saw reform bill is passed tonight on the house floor, i will quickly veto it. Our country has just suffered through the greatest political crime in its history. The massive abuse of fisa was a big part of it. He has urged House Republicans to vote against this version of the fisa reform act. Again, fisa was the surveillance tool, the fisa court, the fbi used and is accused of abusing in order to wiretap the Trump Campaign including former Trump Campaign aide carter page. Lets bring in republican from virginia, congressman ben kline. Congressman, its great to have you back on. Your reaction to the president s veto threat here. Well, i think hes right on target. I think that the nices saw saw process was abused, it needs significant reforms. Hes leveraging what is a small foform in the reauthorization of this section of the bill to leverage it for more reforms, and and he needs to do that, and i sport him in that support him in that effort. Elizabeth you know, what is behind this is the dod i. G. Finding 17 merle to omissions and errors in the fbis fisa wiretap applications to the fire saw court. You know fisa court. The fbi doctored and altered evidence like emails kept hidden they hid from the nices saw court exculpatory evidence that would basically be more positive about carter page and that he was not a russian agent. They hid from the fisa court major evidence about the dossier. The cia called it just an internet rumor. The president is really angry about this. The republicans feel that the American People have not understood or gotten the story about this. Your reaction to that. I think this is just the tip of the iceberg when youre talking about the steele dossier and the horowitz report did reveal that there were significant problems in the fisa process. Additional investigations have proven, are shown that there are additional problems that need investigating. So were going to have assistant attorney general durham coming out with a report later this summer. Hopefully e thats going to give the whole story about what happened in the 2016 campaign. And then were going to have Rod Rosenstein before Senate Judiciary this week or next nweek. Elizabeth yeah, thats next week. Thats right. I want to you to watch the media on this, because the steele dossier has russian misinformation in it. Watch. Mueller is now connecting the dot between a massive obstruction intended to hide the truth. Were about to find out if the new president of our country is going to do what russia wants. This president needs to be impeachedded. I believe that, i believe there was collusion. Donald trumps done. Ers done. Theres no question about it. Hes got to know his future looks like its behind bars. We have a treasonous president. Elizabeth congressman, your take on what you just heard the media reporting over the last few years on the trumprussia probe given what we know now about the steele dossier and more. What we know now is that the media was being fed or certain individuals at the Washington Post and other sources were being given information from individuals like jim comey who were trying to create a narrative about the steele dossier and the validity of the fsteele dossier when really thee was nothing to it in terms of factual basis to proceed with the investigation. They determined the investigation should have been closed at the end of the Obama Administration, but comey and others pushed to have it continued and kept open. Elizabeth congressman ben cline, thank you so much for joining us. Come back soon. Absolutely, thanks. Elizabeth great. Coming up, National Border patrol con sill art dell quaid doe with back is us, new specificsxi showing border violence from drug cartels exploding despite covid lockdown measures.

Brthe president just tweeting again, this time on the george floyd case in minneapolis. Again, george floyd died after being detained by four police officers. The president is now tweeting that he will push the fbi to get at his request, the doj and fbi, hes going to get them already well into an investigation. Hes saying its sad about the death in minnesota of george floyd. Hes asked for this atvestigation to be expedited. He greatly appreciates all of the work done by local law enforcement, andnd his heart gos out to georges family and friends. Hes saying justice will be served. Lets take you to the border.

Art, were seeing the imagely are of shootouts taking place just south of the u. S. Border from the santa ana in the santa ana wildlife refuge and more. Whats going on there . Whats happening . Well, honestly, liz, first off, thank you for having me on. But these criminals, they dont care what else is going on. They play by different rules, obviously. Its just as violent as it always has been. Its been nonstop. And unfortunately, we see some of that violence, you know, potentially coming across into the United States. Just about a month ago there was a breach from some of the mexican authorities into the United States. Thats something that, you know, i dont think has been reported or has been talked about, i shouldke say. And at the same time, you know, the men and women that are out there protecting our nations borders, theyre arresting criminals in the United States, individuals that are smuggling drugs or smuggling humans into theum country, and theyre havig a hard time with our own authorities prosecuting them. So thats something i think that, you know, the doj has to look into also. And aye talked to a hot ive talked to a lot of the agents, and some of these stories are as simple as, you know, catching individuals with various people in the trunk that theyre smuggling into the u. S. They have the evidence, they have the individual thats doing the smuggling admitting that theyre doing it, and theyre not getting prosecuted in the United States either. Elizabeth yeah, okay. Well, how let me back up. First of all, you said that, i think you said there was a breach by mexico into the u. S. Involving something to do with the drug cartels. Are the drug cartels taking advantage of the chaos of covid19 . Because now the w. H. O. Saying latin america the new global epicenter, more daily cases than the u. S. And europe. Are the drug cartels taking advantage of this, and why do you say u. S. Authorities are not responding right now to whats going on . Well, i think theres various things im talking about, right . Obviously, the drug violence in mexico has not stopped. They, they dont care about the covid19. They want to get their product across and make money. When it comes to the breach, there is obviously cartels that are constantly coming in and bringing drugs into the United States. There was mexican authorities that accidentally come into the United States a couple of weeks ago. The media, i dont think, reported anything about that. Now on a separate note, the United States Border Patrol agents are out there arresting individuals for committing crimes such as smug something introducing drugs, and theyre having a hard time with our own authorities through the ausa, the u. S. Attorneys, in prosecuting the individuals that Border Patrol agents are arresting right now. And its all because of this covid19. They dont want to maintain some of the witnesses and perhaps are them helde in some of our cells. But it sends the wrong message, id what is actually happening is, you know, the criminals are aware of that, so they exploit that. And, you know, it doesnt stop the crime ame because if you dot is have any consequences, obviously, the criminals going to continue doing the crime. Elizabeth okay. Stay on that. Quickly, with we onlyck is have ten seconds. We have 68,000 Prisoners Released from u. S. Prisons according to ucla. Thats what theyre tracking in all 50 states. Now youre saying the courts that are supposed to be prosecuting drug cases and border violence and border cases, its covid19, its swamping these courts, and our border courts are under duress now from covid19 and drug cartels who are taking advantage of it. Is that what youre saying, art . Liz, i wouldnt even think they are swamped. I would justt say because of the precautions, because of the paranoia with covid19, these cases are not even being presented, and thats the problem. Elizabeth art, thank you for breaking that down.
