Plus jason shav chief et wit. Like boycotts the senate vote, government shutco down. Impeachment. And more. Leading to this simple question, instead of tearing up the system because you are not getting your way, is this really about important of winning elections with policy that voters want. Attorney general william barr with a big announcement, thousands of federal arrests in 9 states as the Trump Administration moves to help cities and states stop violence now slamming u. S. Cities. This is operationall legend. Tonight, formerun acting attorny general Matthew Whitaker will break it down. With us republican doug collins, as washington braces for Senate Republican report, their probe to what could out thisis week on biden alleged conflict of interest allegation. And Peter Navarro, telling President Trump today, hold china accountable for covid19. Beijing firing back, accusing the president of quote, lies. Also with us, retired i. C. E. Acting director thomas homan on a major bust. Well tell you what they were doing, what they are doing now. This is a stunning revelation. I am elizabeth mcdonald, the evening edit starts right now. Elizabeth President Trump said he will announce his Supreme Court nominee saturday to fill the late Justice Ruth Bader ginsburgs see the, out of respect seats, for respect out of Justice Ruth Bader ginsburg who will be lying in repose in the capitol. Senate republicans now have enough votes to move forward as republican senator mitt romney is a go. Senatosense. Watch censor romney. The idea that garland decision was unfair and therefore this has to be made up byla doing something which also would not make a lot of sense, saying to President Trump you cant get your nominee either, that does not follow for me. Garland decision was consistent with history. Elizabeth President Trump reportedly met with judge Amy Coney Barrett at the white house, jim jordan with us, your thoughts on this. Great to be here. To know we have votes in senate, i think amy coney battle barretd be a tremendous selection, and follow the constitution and respectwh first amendment, secod amendment, bill of rights, do who conservative judges are supposed to do, but the democrats and their threatening the American People and looking to do things you said in opening statement, they want to change theul rules, they want do do all kinds of crazy things, because as you said, they are not winning elections, and i dont think they are going to win on november 3 either. Elizabeth what are you planning . They are talking about getting rid of electoral college, packs the court. A constitutional crisis but taking action to undercut the american institutions. What do you think will happen. We introduced a resolution in house, every republican on the House Judiciary Committee was on the resolution condemning to pack the court, they cannot win election. Republican control c senate and white house, president is following the f law. Senate will move forward with the nomination. Just like the constitution said, so democrat say, if you do that, and we bi win back power well change the rules and add 6 new people to the court, the court has been at 9 for 151 years, this is ridiculous. I think that American People understandic that. We have a resolution that we filed a few minutes ago. Elizabeth what teeths does it have. It is i just a resolution. Were fridays away from election, it is important to have the document. Everyy republican of the Judiciary Committee has signed on it, this is that kind of document it k helps create debae and make the argument bigger for the country to understand what m the democrats are trying to do. And also understood understand democrats are trying tohe win the electtion after the election. Yet in wisconsin, a federal judge said you can count ballots 6 days after the electiontion, and michigan 14 days, and in pennsylvania 3he days. Even p if you cant distinguish the postmark on the envelope, the date. They are trying to win the elikselection after the electio. Elizabeth i hear you. I dont know if voters are ready for election week. Democrat to those nominations, they are mad, saying this is republican hypocrisy, after republican stalled a vote obama nominee gare land garland, 4 years ago lawmakers inin both parties switched position of what theytc are sayg now. Chuck schumer said that g. O. P. Had now right to fill the vacancy, 4 years ago, chuck schumer, and barack obama and biden,h even Ruth Bader Ginsburg said proceed with the vote. Your reaction on you know what they are saying back then versus now . Republicans are also flipping their position, your take . I dont think that republicans are, because they control both senate ask the white house, that was not the case in 2016. Republicans controlled senate. At the time, it was the democrat with president obama in house we house, this is a different situation, and historic norm is, the same Party Controls senate and the white house, then you move forward with the nominee in election year. You do that, that has been the norm when it is split, one party in white house, the other in senate, then it typically does not get through, this is a big difference. American people elected President Trump to put conservatives on the court, and a senate, that is what what is happening. Elizabeth were showing comments from barack obama and joe biden. Also really interesting too, congressman, House Speaker nancy pelosi accused of abuse of power for telling New York Times that democrats can impeach President Trump, quote of day of the week. President trump firing back saying, i am probably only president threatened with impeachment for nominating someone. You cannot impeachment a president just for anything uyour reaction to senator tim kaine . He is firing back against nancy pelosi saying, let me get this straight, i believe it is senator tim kaine, saying this is a foolish idea about impeachment. Support impeachmenting either President Trump or attorney general bill barr as a way to delay senate on the vote for president s court nominee. Foolish idea, i cant see virtually any Senate Democrats agreeing with it. Elizabeth we have news coming in president saidew he will make his nomination announcement 5 00 p. M. Saturday, your reaction to thisur congressman . I am glad he will announce nominee saturday, i think senator kaine is right. We should not be surprised. They impeachmented him on the crazy ukrainian hoax a year ago, but they should not precede with this, this is foolish and American People understand it. And more important American People dont like to be threatened, if you dont do did our way well pack the court, or impeach the president. They dont like that. Elizabeth interesting points there. Great to see you come back soon. I will thank you. Elizabeth coming up, Jason Chaffetz on democrats in media, claiming a constitutional crisis this as they demand new action as we were talking about, to tear up and undercut americas institutions, this question, instead of tearing up the system to get your way, isnt it about important of winning elections in the first place. T. Don lemon said, were going to have to blow up the entire system if the president does his job as out lined in the constitution. i need it so bad dont call it a hobby. Its way more than just a job.

Leading this this question, instead of tearing up the system to get your way, isnt it about importance of winning elections in the phy phys first place with policies that voters want, coming with his react Jason Chaffetz. I g think this is laughable that the democrats and those in media are claiming a constitutional crisis. When they cant point to anything that senate or president is doing that would be unconstitutional. Clearly the president can appoint somebody. Donald trump and the republicans did in the ask for Justice Ruth Bader ginsburg to pass away, it just happened. So he has the duty under the constitution to appoint this person, senate under advice and consent portion of contusion can take it constitution can take it up whenever they want, they can vote it up or down, they get total discretion. No action is action, as was case 4 years ago. But fors them to vote on a nominee for from the president , is wholly constitutional, itt the democrat that want to rewrite the constitution on the fly. Elizabeth okay here is the other thing, we have breaking news, president moments ago said he will make an announcement who the nominee is at 5 00 p. M. Saturday, later that night highh will h he will be attending a rally, your reaction to republicans say that voters can expect same heated Supreme Court nomination hearings like kavanaugh, and thomas, is that anything to happen . They look, the democrats are all right flailing and flipping out,ut they have writtn their press released and feigned their ex as perkin ex as pe s perration. Hig he put out a list of thoe would select from, something that, by the way joe biden said he would do and has not done, he should do, nevertheless, the president fore shadowed who he might pick, that is why he can accelerate this process and put out a 23407 noom noom nominea week, he has already looked for years. President is doing the right thing, i am sure he will make a great selection. Elizabeth republicans say that democrats appear to be getting egg oweed on by democrat pundits in media, pack the court if biden wins, even Justice Ruth Bader ginsburg said packing the court is bad to too do, your reaction . This is an act of desperation. I know that democrats know they are in trouble, i think this donald trump will be reelected, only way they think they could succeed would to beth rewrite te constitution, and t rewrite the rules and do things that have never been done before. And for nancy pelosi to suggest they could primehe ministe impet at any time, that is not what the constitution says, they are misleading people. Elizabeth yeah, an abuse of power, we have breaking new. Yeah. A big crowd, we have a very big crowd. Were doing i think a lot hotter than 4 years ago, people like the job were doing, i think well have a very successful day. Do you have any questions . Have you made up your mind on the Supreme Court . I am getting close to having a final decision made, very close. Im going to make it i believe it 5 00 on saturday. Ill be having a conference. Who have you talked to. Many people. How many . Hitting 200,000 deaths, why havent you said anything did u. S. Hitting 200,000 deaths. Go ahead, anyone else . [inaudible] milestone today of 200 thousand deaths to the virus, what do you want to say to the American People . I think it is a shame. I think if we didnt do it properly and right, you would have 2. 5 million deaths, looking alookingatlooking alternativee work that said we should not have any anyone, you saw my United Nations speech, china should have stopped it at their border, theysp never should have let this spread all over the world, it a terrible thing, had we not closed our country down and reopened now were doing well in reopening, the stock market is up, all those things. But it say horrible thing. But if had note done it right not done it right you could have two million, or 3 million. It a horrible thing, should have never, ever happened. China let this happen, just remember that. We should hit another 200,000 death milen to . Milestone. I think that originno at numbers were around 200 thousand, if you do itro right,f you did a good job. If the public worked along. And if you a didnt, you would e at 2 million, 2 1 2 million, those were the numbers, but this should have never happened, should have never come out of china, they should have never let it happen. [inaudible] i dont want to talk about who i am meeting with, i have spoken to many, we getting close to a decision. Were going to be doing it saturday, meeting saturday. A lot of paperwork to do. And i think it will go quickly. Democracy say it will tear country apart. I dont think so we need 9 justices, you need that. With the unsolicited millions of ballots. It is a scam, a hoax, everyone knows that. And the democrats wasns know ir than anyone else, you will need 9 justices, it will be very important, what they are doing is a hoax with will about what , sending outth tin tens of millif ballots unsolicited, it say ho hoax. What they are doing is try to sew confusion, and they talk about russia, china and all these others, they will became to do something here. Because paper ballots are simple. Whether they counterfeit them eforge them or whatever you want, this is a serious problem, and the democrats know what they are doing is wrong. And all they want to do is go forward with it. So i thinknk you will need the 9 justices, also i have a ton hava constitutional cobgation t oblit in 9 justices. I think you will be very impressed when see all of them, they are all great, they are all very talented people, i think you will be impressed by person chosen, okay. Thank you. Lets bring back Jason Chaffetz, i are so sorry we cut in with president , this is what we were talking about last night, president noting you cannot have a deadlock 44 court, saying now, that if you have mail in ballots, you could have a disputed election that is why you need a 9seated Supreme Court, your reaction . The president is wholly right, he is right. Democrat have fore shadows and promised that they would challenge any election result where their person did not come out on top, you had Hillary Clinton say and advise joe biden say now matter what happens dont relationship the results. Dont accept the results, having seen with bush and gore you need a 9 person court to rule. That is imperative, that one of the driving the reasons why you should have nomination and a vote on the justice prior to the election. Elizabeth i dont want to impose onel you to assume whethr or not you are a betting man, if you were to bet, who do you think . I think Amy Cohen Barrett is leader Amy Coney Barrett is leader at this point, i know more about here her, she served under justice scalia, trained at noter notre dame. I think that if i had to guess that president would pick her. Elizabeth all right Jason Chaffetz thank you, wee appreciate it. Thank you. Elizabeth we will roll on to another big story, attorney general william barr in milwaukee revealing new details of success of operation legend. Look at results, more than 3500 arrests, about 200 for homicid homicides. Agencies seized a thousand firearms. And powerful drugs, we welcome mat yowelcome matthew whitake. That have sized enough to kill 500 people. It is stunning, lets remember why operation legend was established for the 4yearold who was killed while slipping sleep sleeping in his n kansas city in summer was an increase in Violent Crimes in some major stays, and president and attorney general were not going to stand by and the lows the cities, they surged resources, money, agents with Task Force Officers on address theou this you seeing result of the that cir effort that federal surge of resources will not be a forever solution, we need to get the city and Police Department to continu
