You remember that . Joe was willing to sacrifice american lives to placate the radical left open border extremists, and we saved tens of thousands of lives, probably hundreds of thousands of lives, and we saved millions of lives by doing the closing and now the opening the way we did it. Joes decision to publicly attack the china ban proved he lacks the character or intelligence or instinct to do what is right. Lou biden, the radical dems, the rinos and the leftwing National Media have exploded over Bob Woodwards new book. Woodward reporting President Trump intentionally downplayed the china virus in the earliest stages of what later would be a pandemic. And a deadly one. President trump addressed woodwards claims head on today, and in the process smacked down abcs illmanneredded, disrespectful jonathan carl. Why did you lie to the American People, and why should we trust what up to say now . Thats a terrible question and the phraseology, i didnt lie. What i said is we have to be calm, we cant be panicked. Its very simple. I want to show a level of confidence, and i want to show strength as a leader, and i want to show that our country is going to be fine one way or the other. Whether we hughes one person lose one person, and we shouldnt have losed any. This shouldnt have happened. This is chinas fault. This is nobodys fault but china. China should not have allowed it to happen. Lou the president placing the blame for the china virus exactly where it belongs, on the communist Chinese Party in the midst of a developing crisis, it was president xi jinping who covered up and stopped all travel domestically in china but encouraged International Travel throughout which led to the global pandemic. The chinese also covered up the severity, the deadliness of the virus. They denied the virus was deadly, they denied it was transmittable. On january 14th the World Health Organization corroborated the chinese coverup saying there was no humantohuman transmission of the virus at all. A full week later, on january 21st, the w. H. O. Admitted there was, in fact, humantohuman transmission in wuhan, the city of origin of that deadly virus. President trump showered that information shared that information, by the way, with bob woodward in a phone call on february 7th. Yet today the Washington Posts phil rocker tried to claim otherwise. You knew it was air born, you knew on february 7th, you told bob woodward how deadly it was, how it transferred from person to person concern. Let me ask you this. If bobbed woodward thought that was bad, theres a report that i have here someplace where china said it was airborne earlier than the statements i made. People knew it was airborne. This was nothing everybody knew it was our born. This was no big airborne. This was no big thing. [inaudible] china came out with a statement that it was an airborne decide. I heard it was an airborne disease, or i assumed it early on. You dont want me jumping up and down screaming theres going to be great death and really causing some very, very Serious Problems for the country. Lou a preposterous set of questions by the press in that briefing room, and amongst the most disrespectful manners that i have seen in that illmannered press corps. President trump also called out bob woodward for sitting on tapes of their telephone conversations. The president asked whether woodward thought the president wasnt doing enough, why didnt he think it prudent to report that in the Washington Post immediately instead of waiting five months for his book . If bob woodward thought what i said was bad, then he should have immediately, right after i said it, gone out to the authorities so they can prepare and let em know, but he didnt think it was bad, and he said he didnt think it was bad. He actually said he didnt think it was bad. [inaudible] the only one who said it was bad or thinks it was bad were the Fake News Media because they a take it and try to put it a certain way. If bob woodward thought it was bad, then he should have immediately gone out publicly, not wait four months. You know, hes had that statement for four months, maybe five months. Hes had it for a long time. Lou well, you may be amongst those asking right now whew in the world would the president waste husband time when bob woodword when you know what youre going to get . Well, apparently senator Lindsey Graham was amongst those who recommended the president talk with woodward despite woodwards history. Graham telling the daily beast this, quote the last book so i said, well, the guys a well known president ial author, and, you know, youve got a chance to tell your side of the story. The president agreed and there you go. End quote. Now, just as an aside here, i think the only one that needs to go is Lindsey Graham. He is, without question, capable of um menace disservice to this immense disservice to this president. The book hasnt even been fully released yet thanks to grahams handiwork. The washington swamp and the leftwing media are just using it as a tool with which to unfairly attack President Trump. It is perhaps time the white house consider the frequency of Lindsey Grahams counsel to the president. Whether it be the white house or every trump property including some golf courses. Well, lets turn now to the res of the days news. And that means the senate. Failing to pass a republican china virus relief package, another blow to Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell who is apparently trying to lead his caucus to mass political suicide come november 3rd. Rather than urging senators to run with the president , run with the president , mcconnell has encouraged republicans in tight races to distance themselves from the president if they deem it necessary. Finish that is a decision that is already appearing to cost the Republican Party dearly. In the senate Mitch Mcconnell and his leadership role are very much in question as several states now that the president carried in 2016 indicate its going to be a tough time for those republican senators against their radical dem opponents. In North Carolina thom tillis is down 7 points in the latest poll. Thats a race he by he won by fewer than 6 points two years ago. Joni ernst virtually tied in ah. In 2014 ernst won by more than 8 points. That awe appearses to be gone. Arizonas Martha Mcsally down 6 points in her race against former astronaut mark kelly, a state President Trump won by 4 points in 2016. David perdue, the senator from georgia, has only a slim lead in his race. Hes within the margin of error in recent polls. He won by nearly 8 points in his last election. Colorados cory gardner currently losing in his race against former Colorado Governor John Hickenlooper by nearly double the margin that President Trump lost the state by in 2016. It looks ugly, and in every instance those candidates, those gop candidates are not running with and in support of President Trump, and there are making a tremendous mistake, and theyre doing so at the, at the beckon of Mitch Mcconnell. Its a tragic mistake for the Republican Party but still early enough to correct. President trump this hour will be heading to the battleground state of michigan for what is scheduled to be another high energy, electrifying trump rally. Supporters of the president have been lining up all day in what has been described as a fun, festive tailgatelike atmosphere. Tonights event is expected to draw about 5,000 people to the Mbs International Airport in freeland, michigan, and it comes a day after china joe bidens visit to the state. Biden talking to a handful of reporters in carefullyplaced social distancing circles. There it is, dynamic, electric environment, dont you think . He later scurried away from the podium and refused, refused to answer any questions from those people sitting in the those chairs in those little circles. Well, just take a listen to how the two events unfolded, how bidens event sounded compared to that of the president s most recent rally. Look at this executive right here. [applause] usa usa usa usa usa usa usa usa usa usa [applause] we love you we love you we love you we love you we love you [cheers and applause] with american grit, american determination and more than union workers. [applause] look, folks [applause] we will make America Great again. Thank you, North Carolina,ing thank you. [cheers and applause] lou well, i think you call that intensity, enthusiasm. That energy and that momentum for the president is showing up in the polls. The president is now only 5 points back of china joe biden in the latest poll out of michigan. Biden had been ahead points earlier. Up next, attorney general william barr says more indictments could be coming from john durhams obamagate investigation.

Police reporting that antifa if enabler christina narian was charged with interfering with a Police Officer after she was ordered a number of times to leave. Meanwhile, portlands mayor, ted wheeler, is ordering police now i to stop using tear gas on the rioters. A recent poll shows 63 of residents do not like wheeler or. Of hes facing reelection in november. That should be an interesting enterprise for him and the city of portland. Theyve put up with an awful lot, havent they . Well, more political activism in the federal judiciary. District court judge ely richardson has blocked tennessees law that bars firsttime voters from mailin voting until they provide an id to an election are office. Richardson, a trump appointee, changed course from earlier this summer when he chose not to block the same law for the States August 6th primary, a very confused activist. Attorney general william barr said there could still be more criminal charges in john durhams obamagate investigation. Barr, however, would not talk about whether, where durham is in his investigation or whether anything else will be made public before the election. You know, it is the Justice Department where truth goes to die. Well, joining us tonight to talk all of this up is congressman devin nunes, ranking minute of the House Intelligence Committee and author of countdown to socialism, available for preorder now. We recommend it to you highly. Congressman, its great to have you with us. I want to be encouraged by the attorney generals comments that there could be more coming from durham, but im at this point, im absolutely skeptical of anything this Justice Department does and certainly in any manner a timely result. Your thoughts. Well, look, youre right to be frustrated because justice delayed is justice denied, as the old saying goes. And its been way too long. This has been going on for far too long. And, you know, but you have to will be, lou, on the other hand, this is a sprawling conspiracy involving many departments and including the dnc, the clinton campaign. Theres a lot here that has to be unpacked. And so i do think, i continue to say this to you, its actually a good thing that were not seeing leaks hike we saw with the mueller witch hunt. I think thats a good thing. And continue buy this story that, oh, this could be political and that somehow the election is going to deter durham from coming with indictments because, look, nobody thats on the ballot, i believe, is going to be investigated or a part of this. We know that biden was at least knew about this, but, no, hes not the one that ordered this to be done. I think youre exactly right, it was obama officials, but we dont know which ones. And thats what durhams trying to get to the bottom of. I think theres plenty of time. This can still go out, and i would like to see before we vote in 2020 just who was colluding with russians, because it sure as hell wasnt donald trump. And wouldnt it be nice for the American People to know that it was actually the democrats who were colluding with russians . Thats really what we need durhams report to come out and for once and for all put an end to this russian nonsense about the trump campaign. Lou yeah. As an aside, and i shouldnt take the time and i dont want to take much, but the senate Intelligence Committee was at the nexus of contacts with russians. They were actually back channeling, and senator mark warner, the vice chair of the senate Intelligence Committee, has much to answer for. But the national leftwing media wont ask him a single question. I dont know whether or not the Justice Department has, but i seriously doubt it. Because i dont see anything that suggests theyre being thorough or expansive in this investigation. I take your point that it is complex, but my god, thanks to judicial watch, thanks to you and your committee, thanks to a handful of others, john solomon and their reporting this is we, the public knows so much about this. So surely those investigators have one hell of a starting point, and there are lots of points that they could begin this process. They dont have to do the drudgery, or its been done. Its been handed to them, in point of fact, dont you think . Yeah. What i would add to that, or lou are, what would be nice before this election is to at least get an interim report because i dont want to see a final report because i know just how big and long the list is of people that need to be interviewed, and im sure they have more people because i want to see a thorough investigation. But in the meantime, we should at least get some initial information that would be out before this election that would put to bed once and for all anything to do with trump and russia and just how corrupt this process really was. And thats what we really need to get to the bottom of. As it relates to the senate, look, the Senate Report was a joke. I mean, they took way too long to get anything done. I could go back to our Gold Standard report that was finished a couple years ago that has stood the test of time. The only thing that we got wrong is that we didnt put enough in there what we knew at the time because we werent, we just werent so sure how deep the corruption actually went. Lou yeah. And in my purpose in this is straightforwardly, i do not want to see the radical dems steal another election as they did in 2018 because the Republican Party leadership made up of damn fools on capitol hill. The problem is right now you still have Mitch Mcconnell sitting there basically sacrificing the senate because of husband his obstinance and defines of this president rather than supporting him and back up this president. I think hes committing political suicide. What do you think . Well, look, i think the senators have learned their lesson. I think you are right that some in the senate were buying into this, these fake news narrative bombs that continue to come out. And i would continue to say this is one of the ongoing problems. You know, you have the atlantic story, now you haved woodwards book. This is what they do. They build fake news narratives, and now theyre running them through the social media companies. So senators, congressmen, you know, look, you shouldnt be talking to these media people. And look, lou, i think lou theyre got i dont understand it. Lou the radical dems have become the party of hate, and they lie are, they cheat and they steal, and theyve been doing it from before this comments, follow me on twitter loudobbs, like me on facebook, follow me on instagram loudobbstonight.
