Adviser, general michael flynn, has taken yet another extraordinary and unprecedented twist. The full d. C. Appellate court today announced that they will be reexamining the Justice Departments decision to drop its prosecution of general flynn. The activist clintonappointed judge who has overseen this case for two years, the District Court judge who asked the Appellate Court the take the unprecedented action of reviewing the entire case, judge emmet sullivan, a recent ruling from three judges on that same Appellate Court ruled that the case should be dismissed. But the full court has now reversed them as well. Without basis in law, without precedent anywhere in our court system and has set oral arguments for august 11th to effectively retry general flynn and to extend further the judiciary, the judiciarys persecution of him. As if three years has not been more than enough to watch as a corrupt, politically corrupt department of justice and federal bureau of investigation needed the help of the leftwing judges who make up the d. C. Circuit court of appeals. Seven of those eleven judges appointed by either bill clinton or barack obama. Thats right. This is an obvious and outrageous, politically motivated and politically corrupt judiciary. Seven of the eleven judges left wing and acting as if they cannot constitute a leftwing organization. It is a disturbing trend, to say the least, emerging in our legal system. Billionaires like george soros are packing courthouses and District Attorneys offices with leftwing, sympathetic judges and prosecutors all across the country, all who support the radical lefts agenda and in most cases support the violence in americas democratrun cities. St. Louis circuit attorney, called a District Attorney in most regions, ken gardener, is one of those kim gardener is supported by soros. She recently announced felony charges against the st. Louis couple who were pictured across the country with their weapons on their, in their arms and hands but within their property and at their home would be charged. And kim fox notoriously from cook county, illinois, another sorosbacked states attorney, she Drew International attention, when asked about charges in chicago, fox told the Chicago Sun Times it wouldnt be a good use of time and resources to, i guess, bring justice in her community. Other beneficiaries of the soros contributions are advocating to fundamentally transform the Justice System. District attorneys from san francisco, philadelphia, boston have all been participating in a project founded by leftwing radical activist john king. That group is called the, quote, truth, justice and reconciliation commission. Their web site says the Justice System is, quote, operating exactly the way it was designed and built to function. Thats why were imagining and building something new. A Political Action committee cofounded by king has also supported several sorosbacked prosecutors and state attorneys general since 2018. One of their candidates is mike smith who won his election to become the top prosecutor in, thats right, portland, oregon. His term begins this saturday in this critical moment when violent, leftwing activists and anarchists are trying to burn down the federal courthouse every day, attacking Law Enforcement including federal officers and agents protecting that federal courthouse. Smith telling a local nbc affiliate he potentially would drop charges against nonviolent protesters when hes in office. If he can find a nonviolent protester, well, with supporting video. That would be quite astonishing in itself. Former president barack obama today in atlanta for the john lewis services. The former president chose the moment to raise his voice to further attack the Trump Administration and support mailin voting. There are those in power who are doing their darnedest to discourage people from voting by closing polling locations and targeting minorities and students with restrict thive id laws [applause] and attacking our Voting Rights with surgical precision, even undermining the Postal Service in the runup to an election. [applause] lou in the runup to the election, the former president sounds like someone running for office, doesnt he . Mr. Obamas worry for people getting sick from the china virus made before packed church with people Standing Shoulder to shoulder in the pews. Im sorry, what is that about . Twitter is defending their decision to block tweets from President Trump and allow antisemitic tweets to be published and stay up from irans ayatollah. A policy executive for twitter who strangely represents both the nordic countries and israel telling israeli lawmakers that ca mainnys tweets were saberrattling on Economic Issues that are generally not in violation of our rules. Is there a more corrupt arbiter of what should be permitted to be expressed than twitter . Well, a reminder the former deep state attorney james baker is now on the twitter legal team. Actions like these raise more questions as to why the house judiciary and one of their subcommittees failed to bring up the section 230 protections for big tech and the lawsuits that are underway by the Justice Department and states attorneys general to deal with their massive and deeply anticompetitive behavior. Neither of the hearings heard over the past two days; that is, featuring the attorney general and four tech titans. They decided not to talk about the central issue. Joining us tonight to talk about the central issue involved here is brendan carr, exhibitioner of the fcc commissioner of the fcc. He previously served as the fccs general counsel. Brendan, it is good to have you with us, and thanks for being here. Quite a remarkable display with all the time spent on capitol hill in a democraticled house that the central issue here, the behavior of those massively powerful economically and politically titans of technology wasnt even discussed. How could that be . Look, lou, this is one of the most important conversations we can be having within the conservative movement right now. When it comes to big tech, there are many on the right including a lot of people here in d. C who say we simply have to sit on our hands and do nothing. Faced with impassive accumulation and abuse of power, they take an ostrichlike approach. I dont think thats right, and there are some in d. C. That are standing up. The Trump Administration this week took a big step in the right direction, they filedded a petition at the fcc on section 230 which is going to look at some of the special protections that these social media platforms have enjoyed above and beyond the First Amendment rights that you have here and that i have. Lou watching jim jordan and matt gaetz and andy biggs and a handful of others, they raised a voice in defense of our constitution and conservatives who are being crushed by each one of the people that you saw there with whether its amazon and jeff bezos, facebook and mark zuckerberg, you know, it is just stunning to watch what they are doing. And almost without comment from the national media. Which should be standing up for, you would think, of all things freedom of expression. 230, section 230 to protect these Technology Companies, these social Media Companies in particular from liability for their users. That has become an artifact, has it not . It is a relic of a moment that no longer exists on our history. Why should there be special protection and immunity for these massively powerful Technology Companies who are swinging that power in the direction of the conservatives with seemingly every opportunity they get . Whats interesting is theres actually bipartisan support for this. Vice President Biden has said that section 230 should be revocked immediately. Section 230 was passed in the 1990s to deal with a limited content moderation, that nascent web sites like prodigy e and compuserve were engaged in. Flash forward 20 years, today looks nothing like it did in the 990s. Courts have taken section 230 and given it expansive reading, so the Trump Administration appropriately petitioned the fcc asking us about rules that clarify the scope of section 230 so we can hue more closely to the text and the purpose of that law. Lou the text, the purpose and the conclusive action, it seems to me, should be, brendan, get the hell rid of it. Just get rid of it altogether. Why should there be any immunity for any reason in this should be, if anything else, protection from them for every american citizen. Theres a lot of straw man arguments about preserving the status quo. One said its the law that created the internet. We dont have section 230 in europe, these web sites still exist in europe with. Not right. There is no First Amendment right to section 230. So i think theres plenty of paths where we can promote more speech. Thats what 230s about. The law itself talks about promoting diversity of use and empowering users to engage in their own content monotoring filter, i think we should let people make their own decisions about what they want to see online. Lou what is the mood and the appetite of the fcc to, as you evaluate this and interpret it, what is the likely time frame for a decision and how quickly will we see that . The petition came in this week. It was an interesting, sort of academic petition. We will move to put that out for public comment, everyone can participate, and i hope we move expeditiously from that point. Three ideas, transparency, accountability and user em pa powermentment empowerment. We have a rule in place that says if youre going to manipulate traffic, block traffic, throttle traffic, lawful content, you need to be transparent. If you violate that, you can be held accountable. Right now big tech a black box. Lets let people know whats going on when they post these things on the internet. Lou ive got an addendum for that. If one of these firms manipulates or block traffic or in any way shows any favor to one political view or another, it should be shut down forthwith. That is, that effort to do so. And that power should reside with the fcc. Brendan carr, great to have you with us. Thanks, come back soon. Well be talking about this for some time, i can tell. Up next, nasa launches a usa mission to mars. But a member of the bush family is helping the chinese in their own space venture to the red planet. Well tell you all about it.

Lou breaking news now, china gettine help in the space races from a member of the bush family. Neil bush, the younger brother of george w. Bush, is the cochairman of a chinese Real Estate Firm thats partnering with the communist partys principal producer of space and military equipment. Ing Senate Republicans also continuing their investigation into joe bidens son, hunter biden, and his Business Practices in china. Well be taking all of this up later in the broadcast with the hudson institutes michael pillsbury. Also breaking tonight, the fbi and department of justice found 29 fisa Court Applications during obamagate had, quote, inaccuracies but not enough to affect how the court ruled. This add adds to the 17 errors or omissions the fbi made in applications to spy on carter page and the trump campaign. A reminder the fisa court has approved more than 99 of all the warrant withs sought in its 42year history. Doing important work for the nation, dont you think . Well, joining us tonight is congressman andy biggs. Hes chairman of the House Freedom caucus, a member of the House Judiciary Committee who was at the hearing with attorney general barr. First of all, great to have you with us, congressman. Lets start with finding out that a member of the bush family is doing business with the chinese on a level that i find outrageous. Hunter biden, the same situation. And, in fact, its corruption, it is, it is driven by the trading on their fathers and in one instance brothers standing as a public servant. Its outrageous, its suck. Ing that its permitted sickening that its permitted. I agree with you, lou. China has this advanced rocket telemetry, deepwater navy and middle class stealing our intellectual property is a direct result of the washington elite establishment thats been in place for 20 some odd years dealing with the chinese and giving them this information and these opportunities. Thats a huge problem, and this is just one more example of that. Lou yeah. And dont leave out the people who fund their corruption yes. Lou that is, of course, k street, the chamber of commerce, the business round table representing the interest and pleasures of this big Business Establishment and, of course, wall street with sloshing fortunes around in pursuit of further profit. Its disgusting, its appalling. I have to say i was encouraged by you, by matt gaetz, but jim jordan and others to take on, to take on the issue before attorney general william barr which is the absolute despicable conduct. It is as if every democratic district in the country sends the biggest low lives and liars that they can find in their communities to represent them. It is outrageous what these people stand the for. Yeah. Lou, it was despicable. And, you know, you had everything from a Barbara Boxer moment where you had a member saying i cant believe you would treat a member of congress with such lack of respect after they had just pummeled this guy, wouldnt let him answer questions, maltreated him, misrepresented him. And it was, quite frankly, it was an oldstyle soviet style of hearing. And it was reprehensible, and we were in there trying to allow him to make opportunities to respond to them. They didnt want that. We, you know, bill barr sat there stoically and patiently, and when he asked for a bathroom break, he had jerry nadler didnt want to give him the bathroom break. Theyd ask him a question, and they would not give him a minute to even answer the question. They would say were going to reclaim our time which is that is not the usual method of doing that. Lou i have to tell you, as i watched that, do you know what my takeaway was though . I was really very angry with you republicans yeah. Lou and with paul ryan, the speaker of the house, who actually sacrificed 40 seats and turned over control to a left wing that is as obnoxious and inept as one could imagine is and corrupt. This is disgusting, what the republican if party did to good people like attorney general barr. And i dont, by the way, i dont see the fire amongst you republicans. A handful of you, yes. But it looks to me like the same just or sordid nonchalance about Critical Issues and a fight for the soul of this country in november. Its as if much of your party doesnt give a damn how that turns out. Am i wrong about that . I pray youre wrong because we have got to fight. I know theres plenty of people fighting with me, but sometimes we look back and think theyre behind us, all right, but theyre way behind us. We have got to take this back, lou. If there was nothing that we have seen your first story about the china intervention, that is part of this uniparty thats here. Youve got to fight that and get through that, and we saw the way they treated bill barr and the way they are trying to suppress President Trump and his agenda. Those types of things are actually going to lead to defeat. We have got to recognize that President Trumps the standard bearer, hes going to get out the vote, and hes going to be the guy that we have our wagons hitched to. That is where you have to be. And thats the argument. So we have leaders who want to undermine the president and we cant stand for that. And weve got to keep fighting for the ageneral da he ran on and, quite frankly, we ran on including people who dont really want to support him. Weve got to take this back. We have got to talk this back. Its a crisis moment. Lou yeah. It is a cry us moment, and its crisis moment, and its my judgment that the president will be reelected. And i dont know whats going to happen to the house and to the senate, because those are some of the most callow and, i i think, cowardly people ive ever seen in politics, and ive been covering politics for a very long time. To see the low lives of the democrats and the gutless wonders of the rinos and the republican party, its a hell of a, its a hell of a situation in the nations capital. Thank god weve got this president and a handful of folks like you and jordan and gaitz to reed the way. Appreciate it. Congressman andy biggs. Thanks, lou. Lou up next, well be taking up more on this remarkable president of ours who has been hit with everything imaginable and then some during the course of his first term and managed to be a historic president despite being savaged every day by the media and conspired against by the left and the radical dems without, without pause. Wed like to hear your thoughts about all of this. Share your comments. Follow me on twitter loudobbs like me on facebook, follow me on instagram loudobbstonight. Ill be talking with President Trump next week. Be with us for that. And up next, were awaiting a News Conference with President Trump. Well take you to it just as soon as it begins. Plus, Lindsey Graham gives, i mean, himself a big old pat on the back for his weak, feeble and copycat effort at legislation. This, he says, to hold china accountable. Well take that up and more with michael pillsbury. Stay with us, were coming right lou breaking news now, we have a date for you. Were pleased to announce that ill be interviewing President Trump tuesday. Be sure to join us tuesday at 5 p. M. Eastern for the conversation. Be sure to join us each and every weekday at 5 eastern time for the conversation. Senator Lindsey Graham once again doing, well, a lot of talking. He was outright gleeful at the Judiciary Committee he chairs finally doing something. It passed a bill that would allow americans to sue china for the impact of the china virus. He is said, quote i promise to hold china accountable for the coronavirus and i am. This is patterned on the legislation to hold saudi arabia accountable after september 11th. You know how that worked out. The globalists at the economist magazine seeking mightily to appease the communist chinese party. The globalist magazine saying a treaty is the best way to stop the chinese fishing fleets encroachment on the galapagos islands. The economist suggested ecuador was overreacting to the chinese fishing armada, 260 fishing trawlers moving in within 20 miles of the Marine Reserve that surrounds those islands, saying theres little ecuador can do to stop china from ransacking marine life in international waters. Well, theres something the United States and other nations can do. Theres something here the United Nations should be doing, but no one, no one, i assure you, is holding their breath about that. The department of agriculture and the fbi say the mysterious chinese seeds that were a mailed to americans may be a marketing scam known as brushing. They suggest its also a way to artificially boost their sales by sending free seeds to all 50 states. No word yet on who mailed the seeds, whether they are harmful, nor how that particular scam works, but thats what were getting. Just wanted to bring you to date. Now you know what we do which is not enough about this sorry e business. That mystery batch of seeds mailed all over the country. Joining us tonight, dr. Michael pillsbury, director of the center for chinese strategy at the hudson institute. Mike, great to have you with us. Lets start, first of all, with a Quick Reaction to senator graham complimenting himself for coming up with a, with an answer to Holding China accountable by allowing americans to sue the chinese. How effective do you think that would be . I mean, are they quivering in beijing at the prospect in. No, theyre not quivering in beijing, lou. I think ive heard you use a wonderful term that applies to senator graham. Its signaling when you claim youre doing something but you actually know that its not going to be effective. The chinese are have responded to pressure in the past, usually when it has to do with like President Trump putting the tariffs on. Thats very effective. Military maneuvers and exercises have an effect. Theres a list of things you can do to get chinas attention. I dont think this is one of them. Lou no. And the other, the other question is neil bush, george w. s brother, doing business with one of the preeminent Chinese Technology and Space Companies and at the same time id like to share with you what he said in a, in a statement. This from neil bush in which he said effectively that this is all about proamerica rhetoric e. This is about nationalism rising in the United States manifested in antiimmigrant, antichinese, proamerica first rhetoric. I will tell you something, i believe neil bush is a, hes absolute scum to talk like that about his native land. And i really, i find him absolutely disgusting. Your thoughts . Well, i think we need to make a list of people like neil bush who have benefited enormously, maybe they pretend its because of their native genius that they can make so much money, but outsiders know its not that at all, its their relationship to the president. Its really a major lou nobodys fooled here by any yeah. Theres nothing [inaudible conversations] theres nothing here that the American People dont understand. Theyre trading on a family name, both he and hunter biden, and those like them. It is disgusting. It ought to be, you would think that there would be enough class in two families that have been so fortunate in politics that they would at least hold their family accountable for the way they trade on a name. But its not to be done. This i want to turn to the trawler fleet off the, just off the federal Marine Reserve around the galapagos. What can be done to turn these sorry Fishing Vessels and their crews back . I mean, the Chinese Government is really pushing it. Ive had a bell hi full of their nonsense, frankly. Yes. Lou, i think we need to find effective measures that china is afraid of. There are a few of those. Applying anything else but effective pressure seems to me is a waste of time and even encourages additional lou there is no effective pressure. You know, you and i know that not yet. Lou theres no rhetoric, theres no pressure. This is about nose to nose confrontation with the chinese, and if theyre going to pick on the weak and thats ec ecuad. Heres a nation of 1. 4 billion people going after precious natural wildlife in a Marine Reserve because they are bigger than anyone else . Where the hell are we . We need to be standing up for countries like this and against this behemoth that thinks its oh, we love our new home. Neighborhoods great. Amazing school district. The hoa has been very involved. These shrubs arent board approved. You need to break down your cardboard. Thank you. Violation. Violation. I see youve met cynthia. At least geico makes bundling our home and Car Insurance easy. And it does help us save a bunch of money. Two inches over regulation. Thanks, cynthia. For bundling made easy, go to geico. Com but what if you could stdo better than that . K. Thanks, cynthia. Like adapt. Discover. Deliver. In new ways. To new customers. What if you could come back stronger . Faster. Better. At comcast business, we want to help you not just bounce back. But bounce forward. Thats why were helping you stay ahead and adapt with a network you can count on, 24 7 support and Flexible Solutions that work wherever you are. Call or go online today. Must be must be. Finish. Lou were back with dr. Michael pistol burr arely. Mike, this is pillsbury. This is two chinese nationals charged with trying to steal secrets from those companies, biotechs that are building vaccines. We know moderna today has been under attack since at least january. What are we doing about this . This is just one affront after another, one act of aggression after another, and we do absolutely nothing but give speeches. Speeches are important yes. Lou but, by god, action is far more important because they are assailing this country every damn day without response. I agree with you, lou. E i think what the chinese are afraid of is prosecutions. If the department of justice prosecutes a lot of these cases, tells the fbi, okay, investigations over, were going to court, the effect on china is to see so many of their people arrested and put in prison, thatll have some deterrent effect. But so far they need our technology and capital so much, lou, that almost nothing seems to deter them. President trump has said that we built china, and he means we allowed them to stealing and get away with this. Lou they stole china from us, are you kidding . Half a trillion dollars a year in intellectual property. Weve turned over technology, military secrets to them. We have without us, who knows . Lets hope for better times. Thanks so much. The president on the stage now approaching the podium. Here he is. The passing of a wonderful man and a dear friend of mine, herman cain. He was a very special person. I got to know him very well, and unfortunately, he passed away from a thing called the china virus. We send our prayers to hermans great wife gloria, wonderful family. And i have to say, america grieves for all of the 150,000 americans who had their lives taken by this horrible invisible enemy. We mourn their loss as a nation, we mourn their loss as people, as people that love one another. And were working very hard to not only contain this horrible event, this horrible plague thats what it is, its a plague but also to come up with therapeutics and vaccines, and were making a lot of strides. All over the world theyre having tremendous problems. Resurgence has taken place in many countries that people thought were doing well. Despite a wide range of approaches to the pandemic between countries, this resurgence in cases is occurring throughout large portions of our planet. In japan, china, australia with, belgium, spain, france, germany, hong kong, places where they thought it was theyd really done great. It came back, and there are a couple of cases came back very strongly. The virus was said to be under control, but new cases have risen very significantly once again. So when you think minutes doing well, sometimes you have somebodys doing well, sometimes you have to hold your decision on that, you have to hold your statement. Since the beginning of june, daily new cases have increased by a factor of 14 times in israel, 35 times thats 35 times in japan and nearly 30 times in australia just to name a few. These were countries that were doing incredibly well. Leadership was being praised. Latin america now leads the world in confirmed infections. And with the scarcity of testing in latin america, the true numbers, you have no idea what they might be. And i can say scarcity of testing almost anywhere except for our country. This disease is highly contagious and presents unique challenges to our border states. Meanwhile, states like california, washington state, maryland, virginia, nevada, illinois, oregon and many others, they were thought to be doing well and they had a big resurgence and were hit very hard. Governors that were extremely popular are not so popular anymore. They were held up as models to follow, and then they got hit. Im not even saying its their fault. Its probably not their fault. Its just the way it is. Thats the way it is. Highly infectious, one of the most Infectious Diseases that anybody has ever seen. Not since 1917, over 100 years ago, has anyone seen anything like what were witnessing now. But these states have also seen the virus substantially rebound. And, again, no one is immune. No one immune. These facts illustrate the imposing determinant, and it is a determinant that a blanket shutdown to achieve a temporary in cases is certainly not a viable longterm strategy for any country. People are starting to understand the disease now. We certainly have understood a lot about the disease that we didnt have any idea. We didnt nobody ever saw anything like this. The primary purpose of the shutdown was to flatten the curve, insure sufficient Hospital Capacity and develop effective treatments and therapies to reduce mortality. And weve done that, but it can the come rearing back when you least suspect it. We did the right thing initially. We saved millions of lives, what we did. Did do the right thing. But a permanent shutdown would no longer be the answer at all. A small shutdown of certain areas, we dont want to do that. Maul shutdowns can be small shutdowns can be very helpful but not for long periods of time. We understand what were dealing with now, but its a very complex situation. And i can only say thank heaven that we are so advanced in what were doing in terms of vaccines and therapies. We now know a great deal about the virus and how to treat it and who are targets. Almost half of the deaths come from less than 1 of our population. Half of the deaths, a really tremendous number, half of the deaths come from less than 1 of our population. Those living in Nursing Homes and assisted living facilities. The average age of those who die from the illness is 78. Weve announced very strong measures to protect those who are most vulnerable. The scientific path forward is to protect those at highest risk while allowing those at lower risk to carefully return to work and to school with appropriate precautions. Im once again urging the American People to protect their dear family can family and friends and anybody whos elderly. Especially if somebodys elderly and they have heart problems, if they have certain illnesses, diabetes is a very bad one having to do with what were discussing. But you want to protect the elderly and social lu distance, wear socially distance. Wear a mask if you cannot socially distance and practice vigorous hygiene. Everyone, even healthy young people, should be taking extraordinary care to avoid infecting those at the highest risk from this terrible disease, the elderly and those with Chronic Health issues have to be protected. In the current hot spots across the sun belt, the day data is showing very encouraging signs. Arizona in particular has crossed an important threshold. For every person with the virus, were now seeing an average of less than one additional person unfected, and the numbers are coming down and coming down very substantially. Theyre starting to come down in florida. Arizonas really leading the way. I was in texas yesterday, and theyre starting to come down significantly, we believe, in texas. Need another few days to figure that one out, but it looks like theyre coming down very significantly. Earlier today i visited the red cross headquarters to discuss plasma therapy which is a tremendous, a tremendous thing that theyre looking at. And they have a lot of experience with it. Potentially lifesaving treatments that infuse sick patients with powerful antibodies donated by those who have recovered successfully from this disease. More than 2 million meshes have recovered americans have recovered from the virus, and were canning them to visit coronavirus. Gov and volunteer to donate maas ma. We need plasma. Its something thats been very effective, and we need plasma from those that were infected and successfully recovered. As most people do can. Most people do. Plasmas one of the many promising treatments my administration is accelerating. Weve secured over 90 of the worlds ply of remdesivir, which is terrific, an encouraging antiviral drug that can effectively block reply caution of the virus. Replication of the virus. Weve also approved use of the widely available steroid which has been very successful, dexamethasone which has shown success in patients even in more advanced stages of the disease. On july 17th we announced a 450 million agreement with regeneron to build manufacturing plants and hundreds of thousands of doses of its antibody treatment which is currently in late stage clinical trials. Moving along very rapidly. Thats regeneron. As a result of such significant strides in treatment, the mortality rate in those over the age of 18 is 8 a 5 low 85 lower than it was just in april. So in a very short period of time. Think of that. Just 18, 85 lower than it was in april. Thats a big statement. Now i want to provide an update on our efforts to insure a strong economic comeback including our negotiations on capitol hill. Throughout this crisis, my administration has taken the most aggressive action in history to rescue american workers. We love our american workers, and weve set records on job creation. Records. Two months in a row. We enacted a 3 trillion Economic Relief package. The Paycheck Protection Program alone saved over 50 million jobs. We delivered 30 0 billion through direct Cash Payments to american. We approved 500 billion for our hardest hit industries. 500 billion. We allowed struggling homeowners to reduce or defer their mortgage payments, and we put a nationwide moratorium on evictions from federallybacked properties. Thats a big thing, very bug thing. We also suspended student loan payments for six months, and were looking to do that additionally and for additional periods of time. As a result of these extraordinary steps by the administration, we added a record 7 million jobs in the two months past alone. To insure this comeback continues which we think it will. We had a Great Foundation to build on. We were the strongest country in the world. Nobody close. We were outdoing everybody from china. If you remember for many years, you heard that in 2019 china would surpass the United States. Well, it didnt. We gained on them very significantly. We took it to a level that nobodys ever seen, 2019, and well be back there very shortly. It wont take very long based on everything that were seeing. Its not going to take very long. I think next years going to be an excellent year, maybe one of our best years ever from an economic standpoint. We can never, ever forget the people that have been lost. We never will. Well never forget them, never forget what happened. This could have been stopped in china. They should have stopped it e, and they didnt. But im asking congress to pass additional legislation to support americans in need. First, we want a temporary extension of expanded Unemployment Benefits. This will provide a critical bridge for americans who lost their jobs to the pandemic through no fault of their own. This was not anybodys fault from the standpoint of jobs. It happened. Terrible thing happened. Could have been stopped, it happened. I want to thank Senate Republicans for fighting to extend Unemployment Benefits today and to face a very strong democrat obstruction which im surprised at. Because this is great for our country, and its great for our workers x and it wasnt our workers fault. Second, were asking democrats to work with us to find the solution that will temporarily stop evictions. We dont want people who have lost their jobs due to the virus to be evicted from their homes or apartments. We dont want that to happen. Third, we need democrats to join us to pass additional Economic Relief payments for american citizens. Like the payments sent directly to 160 million americans earlier this year, which was a tremendously successful program, this money will help millions of hard working families get by. My administration is also asking democrats to work with us to pass 105 billion to help schools safely reopen. Children are not at the lowest risk. If you look at whats going on, the younger the better. Amazing, the immune system. For children the lower they are in age, the lower the risk in term of the age group utah. Age group itself. I tell the story in new jersey with thousands and thousands of people dying, sadly dying, the governor was telling me that only one, phil murphy, only one died under the age of 18. Thats incredible. With thousands of people that died in the state of new jersey, one. It made an impact. One died under the age of 18. Children are at the lowest risk of any age group from the virus. Indefinite School Closures will inflict lasting harm to our nations children, so we must follow the science and get students safely back to school while protecting children, teachers, staff and family. We have to remember that theres another side to this. Keeping them out of school and keeping work closed causing death also. Economic harm, but causing death. For different reasons,. If governors do not want to open the Public Schools the money should go to parents so they can send their children to the school of their choice. So we say if a school doesnt want to open or if a governor doesnt want to open, maybe for political reason, maybe not, but there is some of that going on. The money should go to the parents so they can send their children to the school of their choice. If schools stay closed the money should follow the students so family ares in control of decisions about their sons and daughters, about their children. But to pass a bill democrats must reject the extreme partisan voices in their party. They have tremendous voices. Theyre looking at november 3rd and probably a day later they will say lets open up the country. But the democrats have to reject the extreme partisan voices in their party so that we can get our country going even quicker than it is going right now. We have a lot opening, we have a lot of state has you thought were doing pretty poorly from the standpoint of virus and coming back fairly strong. This pandemic underscored the importance of economic policies that put American Families and workers first. Got elected on the fact that i put america first, for many, many decades, in my opinion, we put america last. If you look at the crazy, horrible, disgraceful trade deals that weve watched for many years, destroy our country. Nafta we terminated it. We have usmca now which is a great deal and our farmers are doing really well despite the pandemic. But we put america first, americas Families First and americas workers first. But that means bringing jobs and factories back to our shores, reducing unnecessary regulations and creating new training opportunities for jobs and for the future. Weve got regulations at a level no president has ever cut regulations. Weve got taxes more than any president in the history of our country. Americans always rise to the challenge. We will emerge more resilient, more selfreliant, more independent and more prosperous than ever before. So i just want to thank you all. If you would like we will take a few questions. Steve, please.
