Know what the status of everybody in that pod that you have created is. Laura stay out of my pod, anthony. While tonight three of the top epidemiologist in the world explain right here on the angle why these never ending lockdowns must stop. Its literally a matter of life and death. Plus we talk to someone who lived through australias lockdown nightmare. His warning to all americans later in the show. Also, the man who was out in front regarding the deleterious effects of lockdowns, white house covid advisor dr. Scott atlas. But first, i mandate for defeat. Thats the focus of tonights angle. During the campaign, joe biden and his handlers refused to be transparent about basic policy questions including their specific plan for handling covid. On top of that they lied about jos opposition to fracking, as true timeline for destroying the oil and gas industry and they knew in their heart of hearts that the nation wasnt nearly as radical as their party had become. So they sold biden as sort of, kind of moderate, amiable, grandfather figure. He would help heal the nations divided and even help conquer the virus itself with science and compassion. Today id made that the covid19 transition Advisory Board comprised of distinguished Public Health experts. This group will advise on detailed plans, built on a bedrock of science and keep compassion, empathy and care for every american at its core. Laura compassion . Remember we told you that we need to use what we called bidenanalogy to transfer form things of this type. First there is dr. Zeke manual, Rahm Emanuels brother, from obamacare. Dr. Emanuel also just happens to be someone who thinks its morally problematic for people to live beyond of the age 75. I look at 75 when i look at all the data on physical disability, dementia and alzheimers disease, loss of creativity, slowing down of the mind in the body and 75 seems like it is that somewhat arbitrary moment where you get the maximum chance you are so going to be vital and alive and vigorous. Laura i wonder if 77yearold joe knows about zekes 75yearold cut off . I wonder what dr. Emanuels real feelings are about covid it given that according to the cdc, most deaths are american 75 and up. Also on the task force, former hhs whistleblower rick not so bright, who followed the frivolous whistleblower complaint against the Trump Administration. Its just a vindictive, gratuitous and click purely critical move. If you think bidens virus panel will offer any optimism or hope, hope of returning to normal anytime soon, guess again. After all he put dr. Michael osterholm, weve been warning you about him, on the task force as well. This is what the good doctor just told cnbc today. What america has to understand as we are about to enter covid. We havent even come close to the peak and as such our hospitals are now being overrun. The next three or four months will be by far the darkest of the pandemic. Laura the long, dark winters back. Biden also appointed dr. Vic murthy to cochair the covid task force. When they announced a vaccine could be ready in november, this is what he did to throw cold water on the idea. I think its very difficult to give specific dates, you had to be clear about the Distribution Plan for this vaccine because it will take months to get the vaccine out even under optimal circumstances which is why the Vaccination Campaign we developed has to be topnotch and executed well. Laura i guess he forgot to buy a vowel. Fortunately for the rest of us that nd was wrong and trump was right. Today pfizer announced promising early results from its clinical vaccine trials. Anticipate having enough doses for 15 or 20 Million People by the end of the year, this year. Thats good news, right . Not if you are the governor of new york. Its good newsbad news, george. The bad news is its about two months before joe biden takes over and the Trump Administration is rolling up the vaccination plan and i believe its flawed. How can we shape the Trump Administration vaccine plan to fix it or stop it before it does damage . Laura okay. This is truly a sick man with a tyrant complex. But then again, preventing covid deaths among the most vulnerable has never been his thing. Far better to spend his time harassing a bunch of Orthodox Jews attending a funeral, social distancing. Now, what about all the science people, but they seem to believe in, which is that a vaccine is only safe if biden is in office. As biden made clear today, not even a vaccine will deter them. May be stays the life of a member of your place of worship. Maybe it saves the lives of one of your childrens teachers. Maybe it saves your life. So please, i implore you. Wear a mask. Do it for yourself. Do it for your neighbor. The mask is not a political statement. But it is a good way to start pulling the country together. Laura wait a minute. Wearing a mask is a good way to start pulling the country together . What does pulling the country together have to do with science or health . Get it . The more you hear these guys talk about covid, the more it sounds as though their perspectives are truly political. Entirely political. Americans are happy to cooperate on Health Measures including masks that will truly benefit our health, but they will not give up their traditional liberties as part of a political effort to start pulling the country together. Theyve been touring the country apart for the last three years, four years, five years. In short, the key lesson for today is that bidens covid plans are not driven by a science and the arent altered by the developer to vaccine and they appear to have no relation to the actual facts. Certainly they ignore the overwhelming evidence that western europe has tried similar policies which have ended in disaster. Lockdowns, masks, none of them seem to stem the violence. Meanwhile the economy is growing back out so long as biden and company dont get their hands on it. Look, its too early to tell how the election will come out but i can tell you this. Joe biden and the democrats do not have a mandate from the voters to wreck the economy or take away your Civil Liberties, my Civil Liberties and the name of covid. Over 71 million patriots voted for President Trump. Assuming they can win in georgia and january republicans will hold the senate. Republicans gain seats in the house. The American People didnt vote to lock themselves down and i believe they will resist any such effort. Ive interviewed governor desantis, lots of other republican officials and i do not think that you will see states governed by republicans destroying themselves, destroying small businesses, restaurants, everything, due to the fear of covid. And i dont think a congress with the Republican Senate make them do so. So if biden and his puppeteers try to force us into unnecessary lockdowns, they will find themselves taken to court and they will lose. I know that the democrats spent most of the weekend celebrating. No covid there, but its important that they understand the truth. Whatever happens in this president ial election, you will not have the power to write our constitution, deny our liberty on lock down our economy. If you try any of these things, we will fight you day and night and we will win. The American People have spoken and they have made clear that covid or no covid to come democrats must seek cooperation, not submission from us. For months now ive made it clear that covid is a National Tragedy that should have been something that brought us all together. Instead democrats used it as a political weapon. It was effectively joe bidens running mate. Now, the election is over and a vaccine is on the way. They are still using it. What was bidens phrase, start pulling the country together . Sorry democrats, you dont have that kind of power. If you want to pull the country together, i suggest you start treating the rest of us is free and equal citizens. That will only backfire. And thats angle. Joining us now is cardiologists extraordinary. Doctor, bidens entire covid plan seems to hinge on mandates and a lot of these people on the task force were all for the lockdowns. What does the science say . The lockdowns may actually delay herd immunity and may delay country is coming back. And we have data out of japan where half of tokyo has antibodies to covid. One might say well they mask, dont they in japan . Well there is too much influenza into pin. We dont have that kind of granular data but lockdowns may actually harm not just the economy, but the health of the country that was locked down. Laura and when President Trump announced that ambitious timeline for the vaccine, he was mocked. It was called political, and he was the head of his own covid task force. We wont have a vaccine thats deployable for right at least a year or a year and a half. Think its really unrealistic. Asked relationally its the end of the year, realistically it will be 2021. We had it in for him from the start of this. Your reaction . It certainly in academia that they did, and those were private practice and those who were trying to care for patients who actually play their salaries, they were all pretty much on the side of trump. When you look at bidens program, the scary part of it is not the scientific part, what they have done is taken all the successful programs of trump and put sort of the new age academic cliches on it to call them something different. Such as a safe vaccine as opposed to an unsafe vaccine, now to have basically a nextgeneration testing compared to the testing thats being done now over now the fourth generation testing. And then they have evidencebased care, as if all the care in the country has not been evidencebased. Then they have a pandemic dashboard. We already have one and john hopkins. Thats not the scary part. The scary part is the social Political Part where we are going to have a program to address the Food Insecurity during the obesity epidemic. And the effect of covid19 on affordable housing. Only Diverse People can care for covid19, those are the people who are caring for them are diverse enough. Then we have this womens caregiving force, which will take care of all the Covid Patients because only one sacks can actually be empathetic enough for Covid Patients, its crazy. The conservatives are going after asians because of virus, and going after cuomo because he things that came out of italy. Laura that was the best litany ever recited on the ingraham angle in years. Question about the timing. Pfizer has this data, some people wondering about the data. Should we be serious about the timing because the president obviously in his tweets is concerned about it. I think the timing makes perfect sense. You have a president who put in an executive order from the most favored status on drug pricing which will markedly reduce pfizers profits in the coming years. You have another president who is proposed next to nothing in terms of reining in drug prices. Why would you release that and potentially help the president who will hurt you financially . I think the ceo had a fiduciary responsibility to the stockholders and he will get a bonus commensurate with his work on their behalf. Laura all i will say is President Trump did more to address the drug pricing issue and was just getting to the good part. And thats not good for big pharma. I guess we will hear why they delayed the announcement but who knows if it wouldve made of a distance dont make a difference in the election . Thank you so much, great to see both of you. Coming up, three of the worlds leading epidemiologists are saying that the left stringent lockdowns need to end or they will be devastating results for the country. We talked to all of them, next. Laura President Trumps Covid Recovery has not slowed down his administrations efforts to find the right balance between protecting vulnerable americans from the disease while bringing back the unprecedented prosperity of the prepandemic years. Now to that end, is hhs secretary alex azar and white house covid advisor dr. Scott atlas held a roundtable that happened earlier today to discuss a pandemic plan that was put together by the worlds top epidemiologists. Current lockdown policies are producing devastating effects on short and longterm Public Health. Those who are not vulnerable shall be immediately allowed to resume life as normal. Schools and universities should be open for in person teaching. Restaurants and other businesses should open. Arts, music, sports and other cultural activities should resume. Tonight, two of the worldrenowned scientists who wrote those roles join us exclusively. Martin called dorf, harvard medical epidemiology professor and biostatistician. Doctor, lets start with you. Why has there been so much resistance to reopening given what we are seeing in europe right now . I think its stunning because that is what you would do if you follow basic Public Health practice so there is sort of a perception that lockdowns and Contact Tracing is something that the Scientific Community is behind. Then there are some who are advocating that. Most with the riskbased strategy where we protect the elderly and other highrisk groups where they resume lives more or less normally. Thats what we have been advocating and which we now put the declaration. We put that out this morning and there are already over 500 medical and Public Health scientists who have cosigned as well as over 500 practicing medical professionals. Laura okay. I want people to understand this. We are talking to three of the top epidemiologists. I know you guys are modest, but in the world, the three of you. You are all three saying this approach of locking down, rolling lockdowns, does not work. And that is what is happening around the world. And what, im sorry, if it is being planned to wins the presidency. He and dr. Fauci spoke on cnn and address the National Strategy which should in place and i will let you respond. Lets watch. We need to flood the system with testing. Surveillance testing, getting out there, getting into the community and finding out what the level and infection is in the community and doing it on a broad scale. Whether you do it in schools, doing it in colleges, doing it in factories, thats what we need to do. Laura dr. Grouped, i want to go to you on that. So his broad surveillance testing in schools and universities and i guess everywhere, is that really the way to proceed . I didnt think so. I thought that was a very inefficient use of limited resources that we have. And not only do i refer to what we have at our disposal but also im talking about how much we should invest in that process. Because what we really want to do is protect the vulnerable. So it makes every bit of sense to me that we would take those resources and use them to develop Smart Strategies to protect the vulnerable. And whats interesting here is by not testing those who are not vulnerable and allowing them to carry on with their lives which testing frankly impedes, you actually allow that population to build up the level of immunity which in turn protects the vulnerable. So its kind of a winwin. Dont test them, let them live their lives and let them build up the immunity that will eventually protect the vulnerable. Laura doctor, today it was all day long. I heard an individual after individual, many of the medical professionals scoffing at this idea of herd immunity. Or reaching a level of immunity that means that generally you can open up everything and go on with life as we had it before, even understanding the danger of the virus. What about that, and the swedish experiment that everyone ridiculed, even President Trump was kind of poohpoohing sweden early on. Herd immunity exists. Many infections and viruses and pathogens are controlled in the population by herd immunity. Even if you have a vaccine, it still herd immunity that protects people against the virus or the pathogens. Denying herd immunity is like denying biology, its not right. The question is, how do you safely get there . The focus lockdown strategy that we are focusing will get us there and less damage to other aspects of Public Health, and thats basic facts about brower comic biology. With his folks detection, you protect the vulnerable, quickly build up immunity and the rest of the population and that will save lives. One very important thing, the lockdown itself does not cost less, people have delayed cancer treatment, theyve delayed going to the doctor because of severe heart disease. Parents have not vaccinated their children. There will be an increase of Breast Cancer rates and Prostate Cancer rates because basic screening hasnt been done. I think the lockdown costs even in the Short Intermediate term have larger and longer Health Consequences for the population then a focused protection plan. Both will reduce covid deaths and also address many, many other Public Health foci that we just ignored. Laura but thats essentially what the administration has been doing. That is because the states to open up. New york, new jersey, california and some other states in new england extended their severe covid restrictions. Some of them are going back into rolling more targeted lockdowns but, to what end . Like what is new york going to achieve by beginning to close down sectors of the economy again . Different states go through different strategies here. And what new york has been doing is protect low risk students and lower risk professionals who can work from home while people have to work. So if the working class, the working class, both but also the other consequences of the lockdown and Public Health. Also the school closing, rich parents were middleclass parents, but the working class children, they dont have those options. They are the ones who are suffering the most. The president thought it was very important to be on camera tonight after coming home to the white house from walter reed and he recorded this video. President trump i learned so much about coronavirus, one thing is so certain. Dont let it dominate you. Dont be afraid of it. You have the best medical equipment, the best medicines, all developed recently and you are going to beat it. Laura its of the president comes out and speaks and people went nuts. Like how dare he. He is a vector of the disease, hes super spreading throughout the white house. How dare he be optimistic. How did he look and what about the overall message . Thats exactly what i learned about Public Health, what you are supposed to do. You are not supposed to slow panic, you are supposed to reassure her and Accurate Information about risks and trust people to make good judgments on their own behalf. The president did that i think tonight, dont you think . I think, obviously he has a real spirit to him. But i think that message is right. It is accurate and consistent with the data, that covid is not a death sentence and i think we have created this idea in the public mind that it is something so unique and so deadly that we should utterly and all normal existence as a result of it. But we could have a much better way. Shield them for a short period of time, for the rest of the world, let us live our lives. And for folks who are vulnerable, you know, if your life is meaningful, you have to balance risking everything you do in your life. Laura doctors, all of you. Im in awe of your expertise and your courage in speaking out. And all that youve published over the years because i have actually read a lot in the last six months. You are all brilliant, much smarter than most politicians. Thank you so much for joining us. Coming up, ill President Trumps Covid Response save the country from economic ruin and how bidens plan will destroy it. White house covid advisor dr. Dr. Scott atlases up next, stay there. Live from americas headquarters, im Ashley Strohmeyer. The president says the delivery of the Coronavirus Vaccine could begin as early as next week. Regulators of the food and Drug Administration will reveal pfizers request for an emergencys authorization for its vaccine. The latest right trial data shows a vaccine is 90 effective. And trump says his Administration Made it happen. Speak to the vaccines were me, and ive pushed people harder than ive ever push them before. We got that approved through and through and nobody has ever seen anything like it. Frontline workers, medical personnel and seniors will be first in line to give the vaccine. 13 million americans who contracted covid19 of more than 263,000 of them have died. Im Ashley Strohmeyer and now back to our the ingraham angle special. Laura a trump or biden economy, thats a focus of tonights angle. The World Health Organization has finally confirmed what we at the ingraham angle have been telling you for months, that covid to lockdowns are horribly disruptive especially to the poor. Now in light of this, its time for another reality check and realize how fortunate we are that trump was in charge of before, during and after the pandemic hit. The politicized expert class has been wrong more than right and President Trump was smart enough to follow his own America First instincts instead of their america last default. If the pro biden media toadies, if they think that the angle is going to let them get off the hook for their idiocy, think again. Because its flashback time. If we can show this graph of the United States versus the union europe has suppress the virus and we have not. Europe crush the curve to where its well below the u. S. And stable. Laura what that stability didnt last long. U. S. Nations entered a lengthy lockdown and now they are experiencing a massive surge of covid cases and even deaths. While we are steadily improving, we have been since about july. The only thing europe crushed was its economy. The imf new gdp loss per projections of vindicate trumps story and as you can see the u. S. Beats every other seven nation in managing the covid fallout. Had we listened to two team biden we would look like the u. K. , france or italy, totally disasters. Look at those numbers. The eurozone has lost a whopping 8. 3 . Had we followed their lead our economy would have lost we did the calculations today, i want about 1. 6 trillion instead of the 815 billion hit that we did take. It wasnt pleasant but trumps reaction, his policies saved us from a 770 billion loss. Thats more than the gdp of ohio. Thats like taking ohio out of our country for a year. Okay, but what about the future . Under trump, its so bright, as the song goes, you have to wear shades. Thirdquarter growth will be recordsetting. Annually i think its about 32 and it would have been even higher if the petty tyrants running the blue states werent dragging their feet on reopening their economies. Hello california. Now according to the spectator, 14 out of the 16 top strongest economic recoveries are occurring in republicanled states with conservative policies. And thats with 12 out of 16 of the weakest recoveries which are returning and democratic lead states. Of course. Now why doesnt the press asked biden about this . Because they are acting as his constantine, thats why. Biden has no answer for any of this, god bless him. There is no answer for any of this and hes losing it. This will lead us to financial ruin, people. He will punish success and reward failure. Now the most persuasive case that donald trump and his surrogates can make for his reelection, its the economic on it. And he did this. He nailed this tonight in pennsylvania. President trump my first three years in Office Family income increased by 6,000, more than five times the gains in all eight years of the obama administration. After a tax cut took effect, wages for the lowest income americans grew twice as fast as those near the top. Africanamerican income grew nine. Not to come not three, nine times more. And these are out of the book. Laura and the crowd was wild. Because this is success, you cannot debate it. Just that jobs increase in wag wages, that drove every voter in america to support him. And what is a bidens answer to all this . Gallup reported last week 56 of americans said they were better off today than they were four years ago. So why should people who feel that they are better off today under the Trump Administration vote for you . If they dont, they probably shouldnt. On nearly every key, economic and covid issue, donald trump has been proven correct and biden proven wrong. Biden by the way never learned, just mumbles bromides about unity and dignity and his handlers meanwhile plot to tear down what we love and to rob you of everything you have worked so hard for. I was thinking about this today. I know this. I know a lot of people feel this way. They feel like trump is a bully. They are tough around the edges, rough around the edges. The mueller investigation, the clintons, judge soros, a phony impeachment, big tech billionaires and medical experts acting as political assassins. Woke celebrities and sports and hollywood, academia and of course, a dishonest far left hateful press. And for real bullies there will be people like Gretchen Whitmer or andrew cuomo or they will perhaps be running at biden doj, department of education and dhs. If biden wins that you will not only be pining for the good old days of recordsetting wage growth but for the fighter who against all odds achieved great things for america. And that is the angle. When biden says hes going to listen to the doctor is, its not just dr. Fauci, he also means epidemiologist Michael Osterholm who coauthored a piece several weeks ago urging that we commit to a more restrictive lockdown. Well, dr. Osterholm is slip widely expected to be out candidate for a top job in the biden administration. He genuinely seems to despise red state america where people have just decided, you know, we understand the risk but we have to move on with their lives. Well, i hate to say i told you so but, i told you so. Thats by newly minted covid advisor dr. Michael osterholm. We need to in a sense lockdown and drive down this infection level to a place we can actually control it with testing and tracing and follow up this way just like the Asian Countries have done. We talk about everything from australia to new zealand right up to china and japan come all those countries have done it already. Laura hes actually, joining me now is a white house advisor dr. Scott outlets. You the litany. Hes saying australia did it right, people having ptsd when they went back out in public for the first time. This is where we are going back to even with the vaccine being available for distribution in april apparently. Hey, laura. Thanks for having me. For someone who would say that they are denying the data that exists on all the places that did lockdown because the fact is, the lockdown does not get rid of the virus. The lockdown does kill people, and cancer diagnosis and medical care, all those things happen with the lockdown. Then when you open up the virus comes back and we see this all over europe and we see it in plenty of the states that have various levels of lockdown. Somewhere that doesnt know the science or understand the science, its a lying, one of those three. Laura i want to talk about dr. Fauci for a moment. Its just like a few weeks ago when dr. Fauci was pretty negative about the future and we are not going to be a normal country for years. But today, he is so upbeat. Lets watch the transition. If we get a Vaccination Campaign and by the second or Third Quarter of 2021, i think it will be easily, thats a sense of what is abnormality. I would think in the first four months, i would say by april you are able to be vaccinating. Laura who knew dr. Atlas was such an optimist . Is it just the vaccine news or did something change there . May be said we wouldnt have any kind of vaccine data even though, we have results hopefully in october for sure and hopefully in november. And of course the data was chosen to not be shown by pfizer in october, they just decided not to look at the data. Theys all negative and all to undermine what the reality is of the timelines, all to undermine the president. I think once you do that sort of thing and make yourself a Political Animal basically you lose your credibility. After the fact, you look at the data and you make the science. Laura he became a political pundit for joe biden. As of biden pushes the never ending lockdowns, we will hear someone who lived through australias nightmare. Oh yeah, you do. Noticks and fleas . O simplifies protection. See ya heartworm disease . No way simparica trio is the first chewable that delivers all this protection. And simparica trio is demonstrated safe for puppies. Its simple go with simparica trio. This drug class has been associated with neurologic adverse reactions, including seizures; use with caution in dogs with a history of these disorders. Protect him with all your heart. Simparica trio. Ocean spray works with nature every day to keep you healthy this is one of the countries thats done quite well. Id like to say the same for the United States but the numbers speak for themselves and we are essentially still going on it daybyday basis going worse and worse. Laura it well, what would that mean . I thought so he is doing quite well, then dr. Fauci wants us to be more like australia. The covid outbreak in australia has been relatively mild and their containment efforts turned a once free country into a Dystopian Nightmare in places. Just look what happened in the countrys second largest city of melbourne. For 111 days, okay. Do the math. Most businesses were closed, hundreds of thousands lost their jobs and people were forced to stay in their homes except to go buy food or go to work. The government even put limits on how much time people could spend for outdoor exercise. And even though the lockdown was technically lifted yesterday, residents are still prohibited from going outside the city limits. Joining me now live from melbourne is someone who is living in the situation, gideon rosner, director of policy at the institute of public affairs. Gideon, thank you for joining us during your interesting time there. Some might say that a relatively low count of active cases proves that everything you did for months and months and months of lockdown worked. Whats the response . My response is australia was very lucky that we had a very mild onslaught of the coronavirus, but Anthony Fauci himself has admitted that we do not have porous borders, and thats mostly an advantage of the coronavirus. Whats different about melbourne is that our governments stopped up our quarantine system and we have endured a 111 day lockdown. Businesses have been shut forever and weve seen old lady is getting kicked off of park benches. A woman was arrested, a pregnant woman was arrested outside of melbourne for making a Facebook Post about an antilockdown protest. Despite that theyve allowed black lives matters protest to go ahead with no worries. We are living proof right now because of incursion into our liberties and livelihoods and wed ever seen on australian soil. Americans want that, by all means, but as far as i can tell donald trump is the only thing standing between americans in that situation. Hes talking about keeping things open. Laura i think he saying that because he sees its increasingly unpopular. I just saw thousands of people, they dont want any more lockdowns. They want to wash their hands and if they want to wear masks they will wear a mask but they do not want restrictions on their freedom. This medical expert on another cable outlet, msnbc, said this last night. And australia theyve been effectively controlling their pandemic. They followed the standard rulebook for Public Health. We can do that in america. Laura gideon, whats your message to that Economic Establishment . I canceled the american medical association, but a bloke who makes Anthony Fauci look like albert einstein, weve given him completely control and as a result, as i said it, seen an enormous coups for freedoms, and being put on antidepressants, i have here in my work permit. My work permit that until recently i was forced to carry case i was checked by the police in the street to present my papers, that i was allowed to be outside my own home. If i couldnt do that i could have been fined up to 7,000 u. S. Dollars. The medical establishment always says that they dont govern the United States of america. The people do. Laura a lot of people like lockdowns. And i dont think people want them anymore. Thank you so much for joining us and telling of these stories it is terrifying. Final thoughts this thanksgiving when we return. s laura is easy during what was a pretty difficult year for so many across this country really across the world to forget your blessings, but we all have so many, and dont forget those moments. The small moments make up your day that you might kind of roll through and not think about, but they might be really important to others around you, especially your family, so savor those moments. Remember, always tune into the ingraham angle. Dvr us if you cant watch live, although we want you to watch live come and we are grateful for you, for our sponsors, and for the entire fox news audience, the staff that make the show possible, it is a team effort every night, that is all the time we have tonight. Shannon bream and the Fox News Night Team take it all from here. Happy thanksgiving. Bret good evening, happy thanksgiving, welcome to washington, im mike emanuel kiinfo bret baier. Talking at length for the First Time Since the election about his ongoing challenging the results, spoke with reporters following a conference with military at the white house. He will Campaign Next week for the g. O. P. Senators in the runoffs, we will bring you his comment this and we get the video. Correspondent kristin fisherhi s at the White House White house tonight. Good evening, mike, this is a big deal here with is the first time President Trump has taken questions from reporters since the election, and itor started with asking
