Im elizabeth macdonald. The evening edit starts right now. Elizabeth welcome tote show. Youre watching the fox business network. We begin with the explosive fireworks house judiciary hearing with ag barr today as democrats led by jerry nadler kicked it off. He basically kicked off the hearing that critics say the way he did it turned it into really vicious, nasty brawl. Get right to fox news Congressional Correspondent chad pergram in washington with more. Chad. Reporter liz, this was hearing that was originally scheduled for march but was postponed due to the pandemic. Back then democrats really want towed hear from barr. But after the events of the spring and summer, the democrats really, really wanted to hear from barr today. It was variable cornucopia of questions, origins of russia investigation, deployment of federal forces into the u. S. Cities. Who ordered clearing of lafayette square. And pardon of President Trump associate roger stone. Your tenure has been marked by a persistent war against the departments professional core in apparent attempt to secure favors for the president. Under your leadership, the department has endangered americans and violated their Constitutional Rights by flooding federal Law Enforcement into the streets of American Cities against the wishes of the state and local leaders of those cities to forcefully and unconstitutionally suppress dissent. Reporter barr defended how the doj handle stones case. Stone was prosecuted under me. I said all along that was a righteous prosecution. I thought he should go to jail. I thought the judges sentence was correct. But the line prosecutors were trying to advocate for a sentence was more than twice anyone else in similar position had ever served. This is a 67yearold man. Reporter democratic tennessee representative steve cohen wants the house to impeach barr. Cohen and barr tangled what went down on lafayette square. I learned sometime in the afternoon that the president might come out of the white house and then later in the afternoon, i heard he might go over to the church. Maybe what happened your secret police were poorly trained just like your bureau of prisons guards were poorly trained and allowed the most notorious inmate in our nations last several years, Jeffrey Epstein to conveniently commit suicide. Reporter barr said he doubted Election Results in november would be rigged. He said that the president would leave office if it was clear that he lost. Liz . Elizabeth chad, thank you so much. Staying on the hearing, this was the first time attorney general william barr testified before house judiciary. The attorney general did not testify during his tenure as attorney general in the george hw administration. The attorney general was threatened with a subpoena and potential impeachment by democrat chair jerry nadler if he didnt comply. What started attacks on ag barr said a year ago the democrats did quote spy on the trump team. Right out of the gate a. G. Barr went after house dem i cant thinks trying toe discredit him over the investigations of abuses of power in the Obama Administration and trump russia Michael Flynn probes. Lets listen. Furthermore it was clearly established by the documents that the fbi agents who interviewed him did not believe that he thought he was lying but counsel concluded was, that the only purpose of the interview, the only purpose was to try to catch him in saying something that they could then say was a lie. So entrapment . Therefore there was not a legit, the interview was unthreatterred to any untethered to any legitimate investigation. Elizabeth that is a. G. Barr talking about the Michael Flynn case. Lets welcome house judiciary doug collins. Great to have you on. You were at the hearing. Your take how it went down . It was great. Went down this way. Democrats talked, talked, talked. Didnt want to hear any answers. They didnt want to have barr theyre because they didnt want to hear answers this was 1months not being able to accomplish anything intangible failure ever Jerry Nadlers chairmanship. They asked questions, every time attorney general tried to answer them they would cut him off this is sad showing of the congress can actually do we could have tried to get answers t was continue all back and forth of them accusing bill barr of everything i said in the hearing. I was surprised they didnt come out say he was author of the common cold. They tried to ascribe everything that was bad to him. Elizabeth was attorney general william barr in effect today accusing House Democrats of attempting to cover up abuses of power during the Obama Administration, by going after him, attacking ag barr instead . He tried to reference to them couple times. Be honest, liz, that is exactly what the Obama Biden Administration did. Who we were talking about the investigations going on right now with durham. This was peter strzok and jim comey and andrew mccabe, also joe biden and president obama who in the white house actually talked about unmasking general flynn. These are the kind of people that were under the Previous Administration but believe me, democrats dont want to talk about that. That undermines their entire line of questioning. When they got in power, all theyre trying to do is defeat the president. They dont want to talk about the truth. I disagree with my ranking member, i agree with jim most everything. I agree the spying was a problem. I think the biggest problem they have with bill barr, he tells the truth. He doesnt back up. That is what they hate the most. He told the truth about spying. He told the truth about the mueller investigation. And they cant stand the truth. Elizabeth yeah. We have the Durham Report about to come out. We have an election three months away. It seems the democrats are rattled by that. It got to bad they repeatedly cut off attorney general william barr asking questions and the 50page report, that the democrats are obsessed with william barr after he said, yeah, the obama team did spy on the trump team. Lets watch this, what went down. Watch. I gave instructions as to what reclaiming my time. Im answering your question. You have to answer the question. Im reclaiming my time. Mr. Barr im asking for a yes or not. Im to lose my temper. Gentlemans time. Will you restore my time. You went over time, let the witness respond. Why isnt it true . I will i will get to that. Mr. Barr, get to that. Reclaiming my time. I have another question for you. On june 19th. I need to answer that question. Mr. Attorney general you answered question. You said under penalty of perjury i will a. N. S. W. E. R. The damn question, okay. Are you saying no. I think what i have receiverring to i have to see the content of it was supplying documents. Mr. Attorney general the statement was not limited to supply of documents. Mr. Attorney general, reclaiming my time. Reclaiming my time. Elizabeth that is how it went all day. Your reaction . Liz, that is the american taxpayers see what a democratic majority looks like. If they want this to continue, look today see failed chairman of jerry nadler. They threw it out there to perceive a question. They didnt really want to have it. Wanted to completely stay away from. Protesters, rioters tearing up our cities. I came to the point what would be next . Would democrat on the committee actually think we should stop them maybe fire bombing the capital or graffiti painting the u. S. Capitol . They didnt want to answer that. They wanted to stay away from that. Elizabeth interesting you just said that. I want your reaction to what jim jordan said of attorney general william barr. Listen to this. Used spy on carter page. Salacious unverified dossier. Jim comeys words, not mind. Didnt tell the court that clinton paid for it. That Christopher Steele already communicated to Justice Department he was quote desperate to stop trump from getting elected. Guess what . There were 15 more lies they told the court. 17 in total. Theyre outlined by the Inspector General, each and everyone of them in his 400 page report. But guess what . Chairman nadler refuses toe allow mr. Horowitz to come here to testify and answer your questions about the 17 lies the Obamabiden Administration told to the secret court. Elizabeth i mean, is that what is really the issue, sir . The Mueller Probe was, lets look at it, 19 lawyers, 40 agents. 2800 subpoenas, 30 million. The fbi got to use powerful fisa wiretaps that catch way more information than criminal wiretaps and they came up with zeros. They didnt have the trump russia case. They didnt have the flynn case. But they kept going. It was an attempt to delegitimatize the Incoming Trump administration and his fouryear term. Is that what has the democrats so rattled that theyre taking buckshot rifles to ag barr now . I think it is. Besides having awful candidate for president , biden who cant remember where he is at most times this goes back to covering up. They promised American People when they won the majority they would show collusion in plain sight. That the president would show all these things are wrong. They would be able to do it. What happened they failed every time. Mueller didnt go way they wanted. Everyone of their hearings is a disaster. Impeachment showed the world how terribly focused the president was and not the American People. What jim is saying is exactly right. If chairman nadler had competency as a chairman he would call the Inspector General to testify about this but realize they wont do this because that blows their entire theory of their case. Theyre exposed as embore record with no clothes. The democrats have no case. They have warranted to make it think the American People know never proven how desperate they are for ideas in this country. Elizabeth congressman, doug collins. Great to see you. Come back soon. Liz will do. Take care. Elizabeth coming up were going to stay on the story. The silence from the democrats, ag barr calling them out on that. Their failure to stop rioters attacking officers. Failure to muster up condemnation of rioters using explosives to try to take down courthouses. Now this, half a dozen democrat mayors are demanding Congress Write new laws, saying no, you have to outlaw and ban federal officials coming into cities trying to stop the chaos. Weve got black voices for trump Advisory Board member, former mayor of cincinnati, Ken Blackwell with us on this next. When communities turn on and pillory the police, officers naturally become more riskaverse and crime rates soar. Unfortunately we are seeing that now in many of our cities. Devin, did you know geico is now offering an extra 15 percent credit on car and motorcycle policies . Ok . Thats 15 percent on top of what geico could already save you. So what are you waiting for . Dj khaled to be your motivational coach . Yo devin remember to brush in a circle motion. Thank you. Dj. Khaled. Tiny circles, devin. Do another one. Another one. Is this good . Put in that work, devin. Dont give up. Geico. Save an extra 15 when you switch by october 7th. Elizabeth look at this video. It is the aftermath of when a molotov cocktail was thrown at the courthouse in portland, oregon. These are riots youre seeing in portland, oregon. One u. S. Marshal said it looks like downtown baghdad. That ask a direct quote. 18 People Killed in riots since it all began. Attorney general william barr made the Administration Case for sending in more federal officials. Potentially 150 more coming to portland, oregon. Watch this. Since when is it okay to try to burn down a federal court . If someone went down the street to the court here, that beautiful courthouse we have at the bottom of the hill and started breaking windows and firing industrial grade fireworks in to start a fire, throw kerosene balloons in and start fires in the court, that okay . Is that okay . Now. They do start fires. They start fires if they can get inside. Or through the windows and they start fires along the outside of the prison the courthouse. When the marshals come out to try to deal with the fire theyre assaulted. Stormtrooper from the department of justice amounted to 29 marshals in the courthouse if the state would come in and keep peace on the streets, in front of the courthouse we wouldnt need additional people at the courthouse. Elizabeth lets welcome black voices for trump Advisory Board member. He is the former mayor of cincinnati ohio, he is Ken Blackwell. Great to have you back on, sir. Your reaction to what you heard . Look, i think the attorney general did a great job today. He let them just pummel him with mindless allegations. Then he raised the fundamental question, the role of government is to protect lives and to protect property. What we see in portland is the destruction of property and the, the creation of unsafe environments on the streets. There is a cry for that sort of show of force to in fact protect property and protect people. The attorney general is right. Look, it has been in our experience that there are joint operations of fbi, homeland security, atf, forces, to combat crime. You said something earlier in the broadcast. If in fact you dont stop the drip, drip of crime, you create not only a debilitating environment for your safety forces, you in fact create environments of opportunities for criminals. What we will see is more criminals coming to these cities that are in fact defenseless. This is crazy and i thought the attorney general did a good job. Elizabeth three officers now blinded, may be permanently blind because of the use of lasers. Judiciary chair jer any nadler is saying that the antifa violence is quote a myth. Claire mccaskill saying these are peaceful protests. The mayor of oakland, california, libby schaaf, is saying they are not peaceful. Theyre riots. You see push by democrats to say theyre peaceful, peaceful. People on the ground saying no theyre not. An associated reporter went in there, ken, he watched six u. S. Marshals get wounded, injured. They were bleeding. That is the Associated Press reporting that. Your take, ken . We see a coordinated effort to destroy the rule of law and to create chaos, whether it is antifa, whether other anarchists or criminals. We see this attack on the fabric of our country and our cities and, the choice is ours. Do we sit on the sidelines and let it happen or in fact do we push back . I say push back. Elizabeth great to have you on. Come back soon. Okay. Texas congressman brian babin will weigh in next. Stay right there. At you need. I wish i could shake your hand. Granted. Only pay for what you need. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. Liberty. And the clock could be ticking towards bad breath, receding gums and possibly tooth loss. Help turn back the clock on gingivitis with parodontax. Leave bleeding gums behind. Parodontax. What makes me concerned for the country is, this is the first time in my memory that the leaders of one of our great two political parties, the Democratic Party, are not coming out and condemning mob violence and the attack on federal courts. Why cant we just say, you know, violence against federal courts has to stop . Can we hear Something Like that . Elizabeth okay. That was attorney general william barr testifying today saying that regardless of your political views elected officials should condemn violence against federal officers and the destruction of government property. More criticism pouring in against democrats like joe biden, jerry nadler and others downplaying the riots. Critics say there is nothing peaceful or mythical about officers getting attacked with power tools, commercial grade fireworks, blinded by lasers or getting trapped by rioters inside of buildings as rioters try to burn the buildings down. Welcome texas congressman brian babin. Sir, great to have you back on. What were your thoughts when you heard the ag say that . Just i couldnt agree with him more. Were seeing comb pleat anarc
