A crucial swing state, a big voting bloc there not going for biden, and critics warning that his repeated gaffes off the telefronter are a teleprompter are a red alarm flag for the debates.

National Border Control Council President art delicate toe dell decade doe joins us on that one. Im elizabeth macdonald, the evening edit starts right now. Welcome to the show. Youre watching the fox business network. President trump marked the 9 11 anniversary today with stops in shanksville, pennsylvania, where flight 93 slammed into a field as the passengers and crew fought off alqaeda hijackers. Vice president michael pence was with his wife at ground zero as were the bidens. The bidens were also in shanksville. This as secretary of state mike pompeo traveled to ca daughter for the qatar for the beginning of peace negotiations between the taliban and kabul to end the nearly twodecadeold afghan war. This breaking today, the president possibly brokering a peace deal between israel and bahrain. Lets welcome White House Press secretary kayleigh mcenany, great to have you on. First, the news on bahrain, can you give us an update . Its a huge deal, liz. Put this into perspective. In all of time since israel was founded, there have been four landmark peace deals between countries normalizing relations. The first two deals happened long ago. It took 26 years before we got yet another and that was on President Trumps watch. In between the third and the fourth deal, 29 days. So in 29 days you have President Trump securing two historic peace deals, a very big accomplishment, not to mention Serbia Kosovo economic ties as well. This is deserving of the nobel peace prize. Elizabeth and talk saudi arabia might be next. Whats the word on that . Yeah, no updates there, but were certainly hopeful. As the president mentioned, several companies are interested in normalizing relations, so well see where that goes next. Elizabeth kayleigh, your thoughts, okay, 9 11, your thoughts on september 12th when americans were all united as one. We remember people running out to buy american flags. They felt like they were americans first, not democrats or republicans. We had First Responders then, First Responders still with us now working on covid and now, you know, regular americans not expecting to end their day as heroes, but theyre still with us. Your reaction to that . Hey, liz, having a few audio issues there, but i think you finished what you were saying. Yeah, you know, when you look at what happened in the aftermath of 9 11, it was remarkable. The country came together. We had a big tragedy, one of the darkest moments in american history. We came together. And thats the kind of unity the president calls for today. He gave a beautiful speech and talked about a marine who walked, who went to the rubble, who was told to evacuate the scene but dug and dug until he was able to rescue two Law Enforcement officers, and he didnt even tell his five children that story, and it took many years before we learned about his heroism. Thats the american story. Elizabeth and the president also awarded, you know, a major honor to the Major Sergeant general thomas payne. He, patrick payne, he rescue around 75 hostages from almost getting killed by isis. Can you talk about that . Liz, were having some audio issues there. What was the first part . Elizabeth okay. So what happened is Army Sergeant major Thomas Patrick payne got aa warded the medal of honor. Yes. It was incredible to watch. I was at that ceremony, got to see his little son and his beautiful wife. And this Army Sergeant, what he did was remarkable. Thomas payne, 75 hostages, he rescued. It was a burning building, and he went back multiple times. Again, told to evacuate but didnt until every hostage was out, and his team managed to rescue those 75 hostages, culled 20 isis killed 20 isis enemies. It was beautiful to watch with his 6yearold son. Elizabeth look at these First Responders, a group of brooklyn fdny tour fighters, they chased out a guy i who sucker punched an elderly woman. The viewers are going to see this video. You know, my familys going to kill me. The irony is few brotherinlaw knows them, my brotherinlaws a fireman. The firehouse these guys ran out of are in his division in brooklyn. Your reaction to now the fdny stepping the up as the push is on to defend the police defund the police . Yeah, its amazing. Youre seeing lawlessness, harassment, and its uncalled for. Thats why you have this president who said i want law and order and peace on our streets. But, you know, fdny getting involved at a time when, of course, our valiant Police Officers are being called to be defunded. We should be supporting our Law Enforcement officers around this country who protect us each and every day. Elizabeth mayor rued duh Giuliani Rudy giuliani got new york reopened pretty quickly after 9 11. They fought to do that. Your thoughts about the ceos of Companies Like pfizer, the nba, goldman sachs, mastercard, they sent a letter to democrat mayor bill de blasio of new york city saying you are jeopardizing new yorks economic recovery, youve got to crack down on crime and fix quality of life problems because new yorkers have a lot of anxiety over that. Look at the list of companies saying, de blasio, get on the stick and fix the problem. This is a major vote of no confidence in the mayor of new york city. Your reaction . Yeah, that is exactly right for those companies to call out his recklessness. He talked about new york having a peaceful weekend . No. New york did not have a peaceful weekend. There have been multiple shootings. We know a thousand shootings. We also know that in one month there was a 277 spike in these shootings. Mayor de blasio, i dont know if hes taking a nap in his office or at the gym since hes well known to do, but wake up and secure your city. Stop painting murals and start protecting americans and new yorkers. Elizabeth quick final question, kayleigh, were going to dig into this later. The president saying he will shut down domestic extremists who are now threatening election arerelated chaos and violence, street action if the president wins and biden loses. Your reaction to that . Yeah, he will i suppress lawlessness whenever he sees it. He wont allow for riots to burn down businesses, he wont allow for individuals to get killed in our streets like Jay Danielson who was killed in portland, and the mayor, the d. A. , i should say, has not been charging individuals who are committing crimes. He will not allow loss of life on his watch and destruction of businesses. Elizabeth kayleigh mcenany, come back soon. Thank you, liz. Good to join you. Elizabeth sure. Coming up, attorney general william barr and senator Lindsey Graham both now say get ready for new developments in the criminal investigation of the trumprussia probe.

Prosecutors and lawyers on Robert Muellers trumprussia probe team supposedly accidentally wiped clean 31 phones before the doj Inspector General could investigate them for bias against trump. I say supposedly because what have the odds of 31 phones being wiped clean . Thats what senator Chuck Grassley wants to know, senator ron johnson, congressman devin nunes. Lets welcome back to the show former Trump Deputy National security adviser and author kt mcfarland. Kt, what are the odds of 31 phones accidentally wounded clean . Because they had destroyed any information favorable to trump and harmful the them . [laughter] this is either a coverup or it was criminal incompetence. 31 cell phones accidentally wiped clean . The senior officials of the Mueller Investigation, many of whom were senior officials of the fbi . They just by contrast, lets just tell you about what happened to the Trump Officials during the campaign, during the transition, what happened to our cell phones . They were seizeed. They were seized. All of the data was in the hands of the mueller investigators. We couldnt have access to our own data. We were cherrypucked out whatever they wanted to show us. So on one hand theres one set of laws for the trump people, and it seems like theres a very different set of laws for the people on the Mueller Investigation or who were investigating with the russia hoax. So, you know, look, lets just come clean. The one thing weve learned though because, liz,s this is very similar to remember Hillary Clintons lost emails, accidentally deleted . Weve learned that nothing is ever really deleted. So lets get to the bottom of it, and lets declassify everything. If this is the deep state the with yet another coverup, then i say declassify everything. The president has the right to do it, and the only way you will ever find out ultimately what happened is with some sunlight. Sunlight is the best disinfectant. And at this point the credibility of the Mueller Investigation and the lost, accidentally lost cell phones, the investigation that was done into general flynn, it all stinks. And so i think we need to restore some credibility to the Justice Department. Elizabeth you know, heres the issue a lot of the mueller team members and also the fbi trumprussia probe members including peter strzok came from the Hillary Clinton document retention probe, right . They were going, they were probing Hillary Clinton for not keeping government records, government emails. Finish these are government phones now wiped clean. Thats the iron nebraska here. Irony here, the unfortunate irony. Andrew weissmann, muellers deputy, accidentallingly wiped two out of three phones. James quarrels, his phone was riped. Rush atkinson, lisa page, former fbi lawyer are, she was caught exchanging antitrump Text Messages with agent peter strzok, her phone had been sent back to Factory Settings. It was wiped before it was handed over to the doj Inspector General. Peter strzoks phone appears to have no substantive texts. Is so these are government officials accidentally wiping their phones when theyre nailing regular american citizens for doing the same. Right. Its just outrageous, and it really does destroy the credibility, i think, of the fbi and the Justice Department. There are some very good people there, but what were seeing is people who abused their positions of power not once with Hillary Clinton, not twice with the russia hoax, but three times with the Mueller Investigation. Lets just let these cockroaches see the height of day. Elizabeth the light of day. Elizabeth general flynns lawyer, Sidney Powell, shes written column saying the mueller team destroyed records. She, for example, is asking where are the original interview notes, the 302 notes of general flynn. Republican senator grassley has been trying to get access to this for about two years. Watch Sidney Powell last night. Only gotten worse. It must be met with indictments this time, extremely serious indictments, because they did worse than entrap flynn, they framed hum. They made up the false statements. They made up the original allegations to investigate him, and they made up the false statements to prosecute him. They have been abusing the Surveillance Systems of the United States against 16,000 and more citizens for several years now. Comey gave the three private Contractors Unlimited is the to the entire nsa database to mine it like it was their own encyclopedia britain a ca, and i bet if they went and looked, they sold those to the highest bidders wherever in the world they wanted them. Elizabeth whoa. Those are heavy charges, allegations of Sidney Powell. Your reaction . Probably all true. You know, every time we turn a rock, more cockroaches crawl out. I think at the end of the day the only way we find out is if everything gets declassified. Lets have everything out on the table. Because the deep state plans to bury this so far down that archaeologists arent going the find it a thousand years from now. Elizabeth we got a a take on this breaking news. Former prosecutor nora danahy resigned from this probe, the reports are coming in, theyre unconfirmed, unclear why she resigned. Headlines are suggesting she was pressed to produce a report before the work was done, that the pressure was there from the Justice Department. Your reaction to this headline . Anonymous sources, i dont believe them anymore. She put out a statement, didnt reference anything to pressure. So lets just wait on it for a minute, and lets not react quickly and hysterically to more Anonymous Sources claiming that donald trump and everybody around elizabeth okay. All right. Kt, thanks for joining us, really appreciate it. Have a good weekend, okay . Come back soon. Thank you, l
