It was chinas fault. Oh, maybe you shouldnt say that. Thats not nice t was chinas fault. I would like to see the larger number about. I would like to see it. There are things i disagree with. Nancy pelosi said she doesnt want to leave until we have agreement. She has come a long way. Thats great. If she said that i come along way. I agree with her. We should have an agreement. People should be helped and helped as rapidly as possible i think it is going to happen. I think it is very important. So the problem solvers came up with, its a group of people in congress, as you know, you know them all, i know them all, theyre very good people, you consider them dead center. Many cases theyre not. Theyre left, theyre right. They came up with this idea. I think theyre well on their way to suggesting pretty good things. Yeah. I agree with a lot of it. Reporter in terms of things you dont agree are you comfortable with the 500 billion. President trump i think things we dont agree we could possibly negotiate. I think we made some progress over the last week. I think it was positive they came out with that report. Reporter would you endorse that proposal . President trump not that proposal. Were getting closer. Were getting closer. I do like a lot of money getting sent to people that were really were hurt unnecessarily by china because they could have stopped it. They stopped it from going into their country. They could have stopped it from coming to our country and from going to europe and going to the rest of the world, 188 Different Countries from all over the world. Please. Reporter mr. President also testified today that the max, estimation, mask would protect American Public more from the coronavirus than vaccine. You have detail, poured a lot of resources into vaccine development. And to masks. Reporter why not go through the campaign to have all americans wear a mask, something if more effective than a vaccine would help schools. President trump number one not more effective than vaccine. I called him about that. Those were two things i talked to him. I believe if you ask him, he would probably say that he didnt understand the question because i said to him, i asked him those two questions. The one question which we covered the mask question. I was inaccurately covered. I was on with george last night, George Stephanopoulos and i enjoyed it. I think people enjoyed it. I got, you know a lot of people said very good things about the show. I hope they did well but they said a lot of good things about the show but they always cut my sentences off. You know they cut it off. On masks. Masks have problems too. I talked about the masks have to be handled very gently, very carefully. I see that in restaurants, people with masks and theyre playing around with their mask. They have it, their fingers are in their mask. Theyre serving with plates. I think there is a lot of problems with masks. Vaccine is much more effective than the masks. If we get the vaccine, we have added to the fact that our numbers are going way down. You see the numbers. Im just reading you statistics from wherever they get them but very highly qualified statistics but, no, the mask is not as important as the vaccine. The mask perhaps helps. Dont forget, a lot of people didnt like the concept of masks initially. Dr. Fauci didnt like them. Im not knocking anybody. I understand both sides of the argument but when i called up robert today, i said to him, what is with the mask . I think i answered that question incorrectly. I think maybe he misunderstood it. You have two questions. Maybe he misunderstood both of them. But the answer to the one it is going to be much faster distribution than he said. Maybe he is not aware of the distribution process. It is not really his thing as much it would be say mine but the distribution is going to be much faster. As far as the mask is concerned i hope that the vaccine is going to be a lot more beneficial than the masks because people have used the masks. When i looked at that chart we put up, if you look, you know, were right, if you do the good job, had 240,000. But if you do the, if it worked out well, now look, one death is too much. One death is too much that never happened. Lower level was 240,000. Between 100 something, 240,000. As far as the mask is concerned he made a mistake. Reporter on masks, perhaps they are part of the role for decrease in cases because they are effective as you just said. I President Trump they may be effective. I wear them in a hospital or in setting reporter question why not have white house staff wear more often and example for country. President trump im tested. Im surprised to see somebody sitting, joe feels very safe in a mask. Maybe he doesnt want to expose in a face, what is going on. He will be way away from people. Nowhere near people. There will be nobody with him. He doesnt draw any crowds. He will have summers, big circles. They will be way far away. No reason for him to have masks on. We get tested. Im tested. I have people tested. When people come into the oval office is a big deal. No matter who they are, heads ever countries all get tested. Im in a different position. Maybe if i wasnt in a position i would wear them more. I have worn masks. I like to wear them, not for me so much i wear them for other people. Okay. Reporter question, mr. President. One of the outlets you mentioned minorities would be focus of distribution. How would that exactly work in practice when it is being distributed to minorities . Second President Trump said minorities and senior citizens. Reporter sure, sure. Talk a little bit more on the focus of distributing to minorities how that would work . As for you, mr. President , you mentioned drop in the poverty rate. Specifically we noticed that the news poverty rate for africanamericans hit historic lows. That the Household Wealth increased historically for africanamericans. What was driving that increase in wealth for africanamericans, now in 2020 with the coronavirus, unemployment spiking what would be your plan for the Second Quarter term . President trump i go first, i appreciate your question, yeah weve had a tremendous drop in poverty for all people in our nation but in particular for africanamericans and that statistic came in. It is because the africanamerican community, the black community has had the lowest, the best employment numbers that we ever had, both employment and unemployment depending how you want to define it. Weve had the best employment numbers we ever had. We had the greatest employment in the country ever, almost 160 million people. Weve never been close to that number but we were just six months ago. Yeah, im very proud of the numbers. Africanamerican, hispanicamericans, they had the best numbers they ever had by far. Both employment, unemployment depending on definition. Thank you very much for the question. Scott, you want to answer that . To what i to clarify said, first prioritization is the highrisk people and Front Line Health Care workers but just to reiterate what i said there are 51,000 outlets for distribution, for vaccination and there is over 14,000 federally qualified Health Centers that are particularly targeted to minority and low income areas. So that is a focus. I want to point out two other things. Were also prioritizing testing to historically black colleges and universities. Were in the process of getting that finalized because we know that there is higher morbidity in certaineth neck groups. Last thing i would say, it is particularly heinous, egregious abuse of the media to instill fear into people about taking a vaccine because there is no shortcut here. Everything is safe. Everything is effective. For people who have particularly an influence on minority communities to instill fear and doubt is particularly outrageous abuse of Public Policy and of leadership. These are people that have higher risks and so i implore everyone in a highrisk category, when we get a safe, effective vaccine, they should take the vaccine. President trump i will say this is a phenomena that only happened we may have the vaccine prior to a certain important date, november third. Once they heard that the democrats started just to show how bad the intention, said bad about the vaccine. Put ad about football. With respect to me, im the one got football back. I was always against them going out t was ridiculous that big 10. Open fully pac 10 goes back. I say that, like even worse. They put out a totally faked a, totally madeup sister, madeup story by a thirdrate magazine the head guy, i guess the head person, i have no idea who he is, i dont know him, he is friends with obama and technology. So they made up this horrible story. They were they did ads. They made up this story too. This story is very simple. They started knocking the vaccine as soon as they heard that this actually may come out prior to election. It may or may not but it will be within a matter of weeks, it will be a matter of weeks from november. It is ready to go. It is ready for massive distribution to everybody with a focus again on seniors. I will say, also the historically black colleges and universities. We are doing, at my suggestion because they have had a difficult problem there we are doing more testing there and finer testing. We have our great apparatus there, what weve done on testing in terms of the technology and the amount it has been really amazing. Well crack 100 million tests in the very near future. Well crack 100 million tests. What it does show up more cases. If you didnt test you wouldnt have cases. Other countries dont have test, they dont have cases oh, the United States. Were proud of it shows where there may be a problem and it helps people. Were doing tremendous testing at the historically black legs and universities. That was a suggestion i made, i think its a good suggestion. Yeah, please, go ahead. Reporter the core of Vice President s badens argument you dont trust the scientists, you dont listen to them and here up on the podium today you have twice contradicting the director of your own cdc on the science. You who testified before congress today. President trump he is contradicting himself. I think he misunderstood the questions. I dont have to go through this. I think he misunderstood the questions. Here is the bottom line. Distribution will be very rapid. He may not know that. Maybe he is not aware of that. Maybe he is not dealing with the military et cetera, like i do. Distribution will be very rapid and vaccine will be very powerful. It is going to solve a tremendous problem. Reporter how can the American People trust you on the pandemic when youre contradicting the head of the cdc and because of the great job weve done. Because of the great things weve done in other fields also. Also because of the fact we created ventilators. We built ventilators by the thousands. Were supplying to the world. Because of all of the incredible work weve done for governors, who were on every call saying this is incredible. This is great. Sometimes theyre not quite as friendly at a News Conference with people covering it. We have done a phenomenal job on covid19 as they like to call i. I call it other things. Weve done a phenomenal job. I get calls from other people in other countries, they cant believe the job weve done. Then they will say is there any way you could get us ventilators. I say how many do you need . 1000 ventilators. I said well be able to take care of it. Were making thousands of ventilators, very complex, very expensive, difficult things to make. Were making thousands a month. The cupboard was bare when i got here. I will tell you our distribution will be very rapid and very it is going to be all encompassing. Well have a focus on certain groups that have problems. Senior citizens, et cetera but it is a very powerful, it is going to be a very powerful distribution of the it is going to cover everybody and will cover them rapidly. I dont know whether or not the doctor knows that, how much he covers but i called him i said, why dud say that long . He wasnt that aware of it. The other up with was the mask. The vaccine is going to have tremendous power. It is going to be extremely strong. It is going to be extremely successful. Were not going to have a problem and the masks may help and i hope it helps and i think it probably does but again, the mask is a mixed bag. There are some people, professionals, scott, you would know a lot of them but some people that dont like the mask because of touchiness, the touching, youre touching everything else. They feel that masks have problems. Anyway go ahead in the back. Reporter mr. President [inaudible]. President trump i do. I do. I gave you some answers. He sort of i think maybe misunderstood a question. But were beyond that now. Were really in final stages of vaccines. Were getting ready to go phase one on distribution and i think it may come out even sooner than you think. I think the vaccine will be even better than people thought originally. I think people are going to be really surprised at the success of the vaccine. I think it will be a tremendous success. Were fighting a very powerful party with a poor candidate in my opinion but were fighting a very powerful party and theyre partners with the media and because theyre working together very closely and they only started hitting on the vaccine when they hit on the vaccine, they only hit on it realized wow, this is amazing. They may have it even before the election. All of sudden they didnt like the vacs seen so much. [reporters shouting questions] President Trump in the back. Reporter thank you so much, mr. President , informed about. President trump cannot hear you. Reporter were you informed about coronavirus cases positive cases in the white house today . President trump today . Reporter on your staff. President trump say it . Reporter reports of white house Staff Members President Trump ba about it this morning at very small level. I dont know. We can have a report if you feel it is necessary. Its a small, last night i heard about it for the first time. And its a small number of cases. Maybe it is not even cases. Do you have any idea . Yes. Were not going to confirm the identities of. President trump thats okay. Did not effect the events and press was not around the President Trump not anybody that was near me. From what i heard, a very small number. I think you can give the number out later on what when you find out. One person. President trump one person. Not too much. Not a person i was associated with. Thank you very much, everybody. Thank you. Reporter why are you waiting to release your [inaudible]. Elizabeth okay. President trump just wrapping up a News Conference from the white house. Some headlines coming out of here. News he is making. Calling on blue state governors with on covid19 lockdown to open up. Shutdowns are hurting people more than the disease. A vaccine likely ready next month, contradict being the cdc director. Taking on other issues, going into the middle east was single worst decision this country ever made. Declaring mailin ballots are bigger threat to the integrity of the vote this coming election than foreign countries. Welcome to the show, congressman doug collins from georgia, on house judiciary. Great to see you, congressman. Your reaction to the presser here . My reaction is wow, this president who has energy. This is a president who takes on all question and allcomers and processes information and gives it back. Could there not be a better transition or better contrast than someone hiding in the basement, wearing a mask, never answering questions, barely staying awake to president who is of course tiff, on top of it, getting to fix the covid19 issue, getting economy bacalling people out as he goes. This is another example after president who needs to be reelected working for this country and doing so in a very powerful way. Elizabeth the president is pushing back hard on the bob woodward book. He had the town hall last night on abc, talking about his covid19 response, were doing coverage here of what the democrats response was to covid19 earlier in the year. The democrats never called for border shutdown. They never talked about a travel ban or china or europe. The joe biden after President Trump announced that said it is xenophobic hysteria. Your reaction . This is all about politics. Weve talked about this for years. This election is trying to unseat donald trump. When the virus first started donald trump started taking steps that worked. He stopped china. He stopped flights coming in. He saved lives. He began the process setting up a task force saving lives. What with nancy pelosi doing . Nancy pelosi giving guided tours of chinatown asking everybody to come. This shows an example they are not concerned about solving the problem. Theyre concerned about making a problem. Theyre trying to blame donald trump for everything. If the Mainstream Media and others not willing to report hypocrisy, blatant hypocrisy about this, they shouldnt report about what theyre say about the president. It is all about politics. President is doing something while theyre standing on the sidelines whining. Elizabeth move on to the news breaking today. Senate Homeland Security led by republican senator ron john ordered subpoenas for 41 Obama Administration officials to testify about the fbi trumprussia probe, asking about trump team members, biden conflicts of interest. Your reaction to the news . Im excited. It is about time. Weve been doing this a long time. Im glad to see the senator is stepping up and issuing these subpoenas. Elizabeth what do you want to hear from james comey, john brennan, james clapper, susan rice, a whole list here, andrew mccabe, peter strzok, bruce ohr . There will be a lot of people subpoenaed. Samantha power, denis mcdonough. What do you want to hear . Truth would be nice. They have been deceiving keeping truth from the public a long time. Look at once that swiped phones made sure memories were all wiped i want to see the folks telling the truth, trying to pretend to American People theyre patriots while theyre undermining our government and candidate and president at same time. I would like comey tell the truth for once. Elizabeth they are subpoenaing documents. What do you want to see . I want to see the background what was going on. Every time we talked about this, we talked about the documents, forged, basically misrepresented documents to the court. Lets see all the documentation. Everything not given over. Every time we ask we get a little bit more. Time to see the whole truth here. What weve already seen shows there was a conspiracy, a coverup going on at the department of justice under comey and clapper and brennan and rest of them to take down a candidate and take down a president. I want to see all the documents so the American People can actually see what is going on in a politicized doj. Elizabeth all right. Congressman doug collins. Great to have you on. Thanks so much for playing ball there. Good to see you. Come back soon. Good to see you as well. Take care. Elizabeth coming up guy reschenthaler from house judiciary on this story.

Elizabeth lets welcome congressman guy reschenthaler of pennsylvania. Great to have you back on, sir. Attorney general william barr stepping it up telling federal prosecutors across the country, throw the book at violent rioters, using the sedition act. That is 20 years in prison. Your reaction. I support a. G. Barr. Time somebody started to get serious about what is going on in our streets, the mess violent. Theyre not using this to unite us, but to divide us. Theyre using it to dismantle the country. That is the definition of sedition. Appropriate for a. G. Barr to have the threat of 20 years in federal prison on the books. Something has got to be done. Elizabeth yeah the president just said at the white house presser that the, the Trump Administration will put down violent riots if they break out on election night. A major Insurance Group says riots in 140 cities and 20 states cost upward of two billion dollars claims, late may to early june. It is probably higher than that. Your reaction . Shows you how estruck violent protests have become. Shows you hypocrisy of the Mainstream Media and the Democrat Party. All summer weve been told this is the summer of love. Weve been told these are quote, unquote, mostly peaceful protests this summer of love, these mostly peaceful protests they cost over two billion dollars worth of damage. This is something to be taken seriously. People do not feel safe anymore, liz. They look across, they see seattle, portland, chicago, kenosha, my home state of pennsylvania, lancaster are going up in flames. It is really causing people to want to have safety. It causes people to have law and order, once again. This dollar amount, two billion dollars shows how extensive these riots have been. Elizabeth is the tide turning against the rioters . More than 200 now charged with violent federal crimes. A guy in portland, oregon, charged with using lasers to blind Police Officers that was so powerful it could burn through paper. Your reaction . With swing voters in particular you will start to see a swing towards donald trump. Here is why. Those violent protesters that are literally blinding federal officers, those that are setting buildings on fire, those walking up to police cars and shooting police, those are not trump supporters. Those are people that are creating chaos. Theyre again trying to dismantle and destroy our way of life. People know that joe biden has been silent on this issue. The Democrat Party has been silent. They will not call out violence. President trump on other hand, attorney general barr on the other hand have spoken out, they have drawn a line in the sand and people know if you want safety, if you stand with the police, if you want law and order youre with President Trump. Elizabeth joe biden has since condemned the violence but up through the Democrat National convention, when were tracking dozens of people were killed in Unrest Associated with the riots, there was democrat silence at the convention, at their convention, when there was already massive unrest. Were talking nearly 600 riots, in at least 140 cities in 20 states. Your reaction to that . Well, liz, i know joe biden condemned violence but it is the lack of nuance youve seen from joe biden and the Democrat Party that is really troubling. They have done a blanket condemnation of violence. They have not spoken out against antifa. Antifa is, are the ones lighting our streets on fire. Theyre the ones engaging in violent protests. I have not heard from one democrat that is explicitly called out antifa. They like to say on the left that silence is violence. They have been deafening, silent on this issue. I would like to see joe biden say he stands with the police. I would like him to say he is not with antifa. The Democrat Party will not do that. Here is why, liz. They are in a tough position, because if they speak out against antifa, that is their base. They will draw down voter turnout in november because that is where this party moved. Theyre radical leftist. If they stand with the police like they should, then, then they lose that radical base. Elizabeth who is funding antifa . Weve been trying to get to the bottom of this. We have a lot of information. Were waiting on the government to tell us who is funding antifa. We have government documents out of Homeland Security talk of that they have a lot of intelligence that these violent riots were organized in portland linked to a ideology that is antifa. Who is funding antifa . There are investigations on that. Somebody has to be funding that. If you look at the evidence, in kenosha there were unrests. Those that were arrested came from 44 different states. This this is not some organic movement springing up in these streets. Someone is paying individuals to fly around the country. Someone supplying them with pallets of bricks on the streets with lasers that can blind federal officers. There has to be something going on. I dont have the evidence right now. I know a. G. Barr and department of Homeland Security are looking into it. I will be looking at the report and the facts that they find. Elizabeth congressman, great to see you. Thanks for coming on. You too, liz. Thank you. Elizabeth next up, to joe biden problems with a big voter bloc. Up to 1 5 of certain states. It is the hispanic vote. It is going from bad to worse. It is not just florida. We have names of other states where he has problem with hispanic voters. Hispanic voters are saying biden is too soft on same communist dictators in late inch america we have fled from. Trump Senior Advisor, mercedes schlapp, she is the daughter of cuban parent. She was born in florida. She is our guest next i need it so bad dont call it a hobby. Its way more than just a job. This is how we live every single day.

You were thriving, but then. Oh. Ah. Okay. Plan, pivot. How do you bounce back . You dont, you bounce forward, with serious and reliable internet. Powered by the largest gig Speed Network in america. But is it secure . Sure its secure. And even if the power goes down, your connection doesnt. So how do i do this . You dont do this. We do this, together. Bounce forward, with comcast business. [camera man] actually anyone 50 or over is at increased risk for shingles. The pain, the burning my husband had to do everything for weeks.

Now, as im thinking about selecting a medicare plan, i know i want one that has the kind of coverage that takes a total approach to my health. One that connects all the different parts of my health care to keep me aging actively. Aetna medicare. Keep doing what you love. Elizabeth lets welcome to the show trump 2020 Senior Advisor mercedes schlapp. She is the daughter of cuban parents who was born in florida. Great to have you back on, mercedes. Thank you for having me. Elizabeth it looks like the president is gaining with hispanic voters in nevada, florida, texas and arizona. Hispanics make up to a fifth of the electorate depending on the state. Looks like biden is falling behind here. What is going on . I got to tell you it comes down to President Trump delivering results especially on the economy. It is about economic and prosperity as we know. When you start reviewing numbers, under President Trump start seeing hispanic Median Income increase. A drop in poverty rates for hispanics. Record numbers of homeownership for hispanics. What youre seeing time and time again because of the president s economic policies of cutting taxes, getting rid of jobkilling regulations, renegotiating the trade deals, it is working. When youre looking at joe biden, he is a weak candidate. Theyre looking at his economic policies and saying this is not going to work. This would only lead to greater regulations and increased taxes. We know hispanics are leading in terms of creating Small Businesses. So for those Small Business hispanic owners theyre saying no way. Or no mas. Elizabeth floridas lieutenant governor, i hear what youre saying. Floridas lieutenant governor, jeanette nunez. Lou i like the no mas part. Jeanette nunez accused joe biden paying attention, she is saying joe biden paying attention to latinos only because in the Election Year the democrats take latino vote for granted time and again. She is saying biden is too soft on communist dictators in cuba and venezuela. He would make life easier for evil dictators. Those are tough words. Your reaction . I think biden is culturally incompetent. When he played that little song he did yesterday that was quite the pandering appealing more to celebrities than he is to real hardworking latinos. When it comes to the dictators, let me tell you something, obamabidens appeasement policies towards these dictators are disgraceful. For us, who my parents, for example, who fled cuba. My father was thrown into jail as a political prisoner for six years. You know, we know what happens when the communists take over, when socialism overtakes these countries and so, we want a president that will be tough on these dictators. That is what President Trump has done both with cuba and venezuela, by pushing forward sanctions, pushing forward a maximum Pressure Campaign in those countries. What do we know about biden . He will go back to the obama era cuban policies which is, let communists be communists with no repercussions and what we saw under obamabiden administration, that the human rights abuses in cuba increased significantly during their time and, so that is why you see so many cubans, so many venezuelans saying we dont need a biden presidency. Elizabeth and hispanics from nicaragua and immigrants from china are saying they are seeing in the riots what they saw in their home countries. Class warfare rhetoric. Tearing down statues. Attack government buildings, attack Small Businesses. They say they saw that there, theyre seeing it happening here with the riots going on in the streets of america. Quinnepiac has biden down, trump is leading biden in florida. Your reaction to the feeling about the riots going on too . There is no question, and i, even talking to my father when we talked about the left trying to erase history, that is a part of it. It is taking down the statues. It is about causing chaos and confusion. And even pushing defund the police. We know the majority of hispanics oppose defund the police. What they want are safe communities. They want to be able to live the american dream. That is why it makes sense. It is why you have seen a growing number of hispanics saying i will stand with the president of law and order. President trump. He is the one that represents my values. As we know for hispanics it is about hard work, you know, about prolife values, it is about entrepreneurialship. That falls in line with President Trumps agenda for america. They came to this country to live in a free america. President trump has said, that he would defend our freedoms. That our country would never become a socialist country. The mere fact is, that the left, sadly, has gone too far. The problem is that joe biden made the decision to align himself to the far left socialists. I think that will be a losing political strategy. That is why were gaining ground. Elizabeth mercedes, great to have you on. Come back soon, okay . Thank you. Absolutely. Thank you so much. Elizabeth sure. Mercedes schlapp there. Coming up senate Homeland Security today in a vote authorized subpoenas of Obama Administration officials to give depositions on the alleged paytoplay conflicts of interest involving joe and hundred it biden. Senator ron johnson warning an interim report will come out soon about that. Coming up, Judicial Watch president tom fitton. He will tell us what he is going to be looking for. Thats next. You can be absolutely assured that senator johnson has done his homework and this information is not political. Its just the facts. Transparency is never political and that is what senator johnson has been focused on rs dont und. Because our way works great for us but not for your clients.

What is your take on senate Homeland Security voting to authorize subpoenas to get depositions from obama officials on the biden conflicts of interest . Better late than never. It is well past time for this type of investigation to take place. There is still a lot of ground to be covered. I recommend not only they proceed as quickly as possible with depositions but start releasing any documents they have. Often times the senate and the house have documents that are not publicly available but which would be very illustrative to what was going on. I hope theyre still not sitting on material. Weve run into that in the past. On the other end the administration started releasing documents forthwith as well. Elizabeth yeah. Tom, senator ron johnson says what he has got, the information he has says, quote, it shows voters biden is unfit to be president. Those are strong words. What do you think that he has . Well, we already have biden on tape saying he pressured the ukrainians under threat of withholding a billion dollars or so of aid to fire a prosecutor that coincidentally was investigating the company that gave his son a suspicious job on the board. So we also have testimony from the impeachment coup against trump that the Obama State Department was not concerned about burisma and biden. So i suspect were going to have more information as to why they were concerned and whats behind those concerns. Elizabeth yeah. Joe biden is saying he got the prosecutor fired because everybody knew the guy was corrupt. What do you think of bidens defense there . What do you well move on to dni ric grenells sound bite. What is your reaction to that. We know burisma was corrupt and no one has given us a answer how hunter biden got a job he had no experience in, and by his own admission hunter god it because of his own name. How does that being concerned about corruption in ukraine. Elizabeth hunter admitted his father got him jobs. D. C. Is something of a swamp. Joe biden admitted own the campaign trail earlier this year, it looked bad for hunter to be at burisma. Former acting dni ric grenell with with us as night. Let me add one thing. I worked at state department for 11 years. I know Many Foreign Service officers. I know many career individuals at the state department. They were horrified what hunter biden was doing while his father was Vice President. He utilized the state Department International contacts, embassies and people were just embarrassed, horrified what he was doing. This has never been looked into. He has never had scrutiny from the media and it deserves this. Elizabeth it sounds like it is more than burisma. Your reaction . We have documents that just came out showing that the Ukrainian Embassy under am bass was monitoring Fox News Media accounts what they were say about burisma. We want to know. We want more information. Senator biden, excuse me, Vice President biden, frankly right now is still being protected by the state department, who is slow walking, slow rolling the release of information about that scandal. Elizabeth george kent was an obama Era State Department official not just under the Obama Administration. He testified during impeachment proceedings he warned then Vice President biden about the conflicts of interest here but he was rebuffed. That the Obama Administration did have serious worries about what hunter and the bidens were doing. Your reaction to that . Well it confirms an email i just reviewed, at Judicial Watch where he sent an email to ambassador yo vaughn very much, burisma showing up in the news related to joe biden. Burisma is the gift that keeps on giving. Seems to be this was a longstanding issue in the Obama Administration. This email was sent just a few weeks before President Trump was inaugurated. Elizabeth all right. Tom fitton, great to have you on the show. Will you come back soon . Im happy to. Thank you. Elizabeth sure, good to see you. Tom fitton there. Coming up former i. C. E.

Two illegal aliens suspected of being ms13 gang members, they were arrested in a suspected gang slaying of a 16yearold girl in baltimore. They had been previously arrested on unrelated charges. They were in custody but they were released because of sanctuary city policies and now another teenager is dead. Lets bring in former i. C. E. Acting director ronald vitello. Great to have you on, sir. Your reaction to this story . Good to be here. This shouldnt be in modern america. These individuals were in the country illegally. Went to commit state and local crimes. Theyre known gang members. They were taken into custody by the two counties, suffolk and prince georges here in maryland and they were released after i. C. E. Filed a detainer on them. That should not be. That crime, this poor girls murder could have been prevented, if they picked up the phone, followed 9 instructions on the detainer and the deportation officers to come in take the folks in into custody, set them up for removal hearings or remove them all the way. This shouldnt happen. The politicians that allow these policies in these jurisdictions are endangering the community theyre supposed to be upholding. That girl likely was a immigrant and gets preyed upon by these gang members. They are recruited by ms13 and other gangs. This should not happen. Cooperation with i. C. E. Doesnt cost them a dime. Elizabeth so they were arrested and held in Suffolk County new york, and then in another state in maryland. So two different jurisdiction. Is that it . Thats right. Both those jurisdictions refused to comply with a detainer request that i. C. E. Made. Its a simple form. When i was a young agent in laredo, fill it out on clipboard, fill in the blanks, hand it to a deputy tore police officer. That department when they were done with the state charges, when they were done with the sentencing just like here, all they pick up the phone to call a deportation officer. It is very simple. Keeps the communities, immigrant communities safer. Elizabeth yeah. Were finding studies showing 52 minors were murdered by ms13 here in the United States between 2012 and 2017. That is according to the center for Immigration Studies and that a quarter of the suspects, the gang members came here illegally. I have to move on to this story. The story that democrats are now talking about and asking for an emergency investigation. It has to do with an i. C. E. Detention facility in georgia. It is allegations of mistreatment at this facility. Its a private sector facility. After a whistleblower complaint filed by a nurse alleging, quote, red flags regarding a high number of hysterectomies performed on detainees by a doctor working with that facility. Can you, without informed consent. Can you tell us what is going on here . I. C. E. Has standards for all the medical care that it is giving either by Government Employees or contractors. In this case its a contract facility. The standards are very high. They follow the American Medical Association guidelines this is a serious charge. There is a whistleblower involved. Im sure the office of Inspector General will look into it, and provide findings for i. C. E. Itself and for the public. Oversight in congress, were required to have these Detention Centers in order for the immigration system to work but they do have to maintain the standards, both for medical care and detainee conditions. Im sure the department is all over it. Oig this is their role inside of the department. Civil rights and Civil Liberties department of the office will look into it. There will be more than one check and balance against these allegations. They are very serious. They bear watching but im sure they will get to the bottom of it. Elizabeth when you first saw this headline what was your first reaction . It is concerning. It is something that you know, you dont want to see happen. You want to make sure that the standards that are set by the department and by i. C. E. Itself are adhered to by their contractors and by the Service Providers including the medical staff. So it bears looking into. Like i said, there will be a full investigation and findings, hopefully quickly. Elizabeth all right. Ronald vitello, thanks so much for joining us. We really appreciate it. Good to see you. Good to be with you. Elizabeth im elizabeth macdonald. Youve been watching the earning edit on fox business. That does it for us the evening edit. That does it for us.
