trump. it's as if president trump, he could do no wrong. but for donald trump he can do no right. what's your sense of what's driving this in the mainstream media that you are part of? >> first of all there's a bias against republicans in general. with reagan he is portrayed as stupid or dangerous, the same thing with trump, he's stupid and dangerous according to the media. they feel if they did there would be ostracized by the colleagues. for example, from for people wn the white house correspondents, cobol, among themselves they laugh at him, they mock him. that is the overriding theme. many people just inherently can't think independently. that's one reason i left college after two years like a few of the people, michael dell and gates. i did want to be told how to think. i did want to be told what to write. i wanted to get firsthand what actually happened and that's the way i've operated. i don't have blinders on. i like to penetrate secrets and that's what i've done in this book with al

is 35 minutes. >> good evening everybody welcomed the team trump online i am laura trump senior advisor to president trump's reelection campaign. tonight senator lindsey graham, chairman of the senate judiciary committee is with us and we are so excited for it senator graham thank you for being with this. >> thank you you do an awesome job this is the child for trip. >> thank you so much. in recent weeks we have learned really interesting information. we learned that the obama/biden administration welcomed a check and weaponize intelligent community to take down the upcoming trump administration they name specific individuals targeted incoming national security adviser, michael flynn and fbi agents even discuss the potential to force a general flynn to light during interrogations. this is an unprecedented and corrupt abuse of power anyway you look at it. and the obama/biden administration has been caught red-handed. senator graham, you have been working very hard from the trump administration to get to the bottom of this unprecedented abuse of power. joe biden's name actually appeared o

also today, donald trump said that dr. anthony fauci will never be allowed to testify to the house of representatives because it's controlled by democrats but will be allowed to testify to the senate once because it's controlled by republicans. president trump didn't kill his coronavirus task force today, he killed it the day he said this -- >> and when i see the disinfectant which knocks it out in a minute, one minute, and is there a way we can do something like that, by injection inside or almost a cleaning, because you see it gets in the lungs and it does a tremendous number. it will be interesting to check that. for that, you'll have to use medical doctors, but it sounds interesting to me. but the whole concept of the way the light kills it in one minute is pretty powerful. deborah, have you ever heard of the heat and the light relative to certain viruses, yes, but relative to this virus? >> not as a treatment. certainly fever is a good thing, when you have a fever, it helps your body respond. but not as -- i've not se

trump: that is true. reporter: [indiscernible] what do you say to organizations that have not met the guidelines you have set? what do you say to the states that have not met the guidelines that are opening now? pres. trump: we have spoken to many of the governors. we give leeway to the governors. these are governors that have done a good job in all cases. i have some i do not think are doing a particularly good job, but for the most part they have. we give them leeway. looknor abbott, when you at the job he has done in texas, i rely on his judgment. you have vast parts of texas where there is no problem whatsoever, there is literally nothing. it would be ashamed shame to keep that closed. gov. abbott: half of our counties have no cases or five or fewer cases. pres. trump: the governors have great power as to that given by us. we want them to do that, we rely on them, trust them. hopefully they are making the right decisions. anorter: there is a video of unarmed black georgia man shot by police while on a

does trump represent? >> where are you in that pendulum? >> i don't want to go too far. i think it's really important for journalists to not -- i'm not going to sit here and say people should vote for and there's a lot of people bashing the president or saying the president is great and i'm sure people will say since i say i didn't find evidence of a deep state i'm therefore anti-trump but i'm just trying to present my honest effort in dozens of interviews over an 18 month period that again, every president has been frustrated with bureaucracies. yes it was a great television series but we have to be on the fbi and cia. they're very powerful. it's easier to survey all then ever but i think what i found is that the most proper way to do that is to have all three branches of government, all over the fbi and cia to have it all over them, to force more transparency. it'scumbersome, it's chaotic but rather than more secrecy and concentrating power that's what's led us to abuses in the past . i found what i foun

trump. we appreciate it. pres. trump: that's true. i called him. i had never smoked -- spoke to him. i got good support for death rate from the beginning. we have come through. support from the beginning. we have come through. they feed, feel, and sustain our nation. they are proud defenders of the american way of life. i stand by their side in this hour of need. the food chains are now back to almost working perfectly again. they had some interruptions which you knew about. we were able to take very bold action. you saw that. that action caused them to do what they had to do. they are in good shape. very shortly, they will be in perfect shape. people were worried about that. the action we took was very important. we did a good job. i would like to ask secretary perdue to say a few words followed by a vodka. -- ivanka. please. >> i remember very clearly, you called me a few weeks ago when you read about the effects of the pandemic. once again, you directed me to help our farmers. what will it take? i want you to use all available resources at your

trump was very angry, obviously. he ran down to his car, started typing the his little memo about what allegedly transpired and then ran to the fbi headquarters and had a secure video teleconference with the crossfire hurricane team, strzok and company. that was -- obama knew, biden knew, yates was there, brennan was there, susan rice was there. the fact that durham or, frankly, anyone hasn't questioned think of these people substantially about what went on there, to me, a miscarriage of justice thus far. lou: it raises another question too, tom. clapper, james clapper, the head of -- the director of national intelligence, he said testified as we now know in these transcripts that he a had not a scintilla of evidence. there was absolutely not a scrap of evidence of any basis for an investigation of president trump or any of his organization, and they pressed ahead. clapper knew that. yates knew that. the list goes on. they all knew that. not one tried to stop it. now the point being when your heads of intelligence do

that is what president trump's top officials are doing, admitting things went wrong inside the trump administration dealing with this virus, but now arguing it was the disease experts, not the president's top people. >> early on in this crisis, the cdc, which really had the most trusted brand around the world in this space, really -- not only did they keep the testing within the bureaucracy, they had a bad test. and that did set us back. >> fact check, it is true that the cdc bungled an early virus test kit, which had to be basically one. experts stress that's one set of wider mistakes, but this new line of blame is striking, because it is being rebutted, not just by outsiders or independent experts or people who tend to respond to what trump officials say. no, what you just heard is now being rebutted by president trump's own health and human services secretary who oversees the cdc. >> i don't believe the cdc let this country down. i believe the cdc serves an important public health role. >> he's adding more context today on fox news. >> well, the comments regarding cdc are inaccura

i don't think i'll want to go there when it comes to donald trump trump lied about the size of it as an operation proud he lied about the impact that coke would have 15 people would only die now just 100000. threshold unfortunately because of his incompetence and terrible leadership ok but very very little to talk about the lives derreck of them have also talked about a lot about social media companies being controlled by liberal elites fire little who are liberally minded why the money is the conservative argument against control of what's on social media. and again i think look i think we've seen this throughout history when you don't like the facts and you try to attack those that are actually reporting them and i think we've seen that from donald trump and i think we've seen that from the g.o.p. and what's ironic here is that i don't feel worked for a man who was actually in had integrity john mccain and was a truth teller but the reality but the reality is is that you know there are facts and there are opinions and donald trump has continued to put out lies to the american peopl

in 2016, donald trump won that constituency over hillary clinton. right now the indications are that joe ben is winning that constituency over donald trump so that's another area ofn conc for them. robert: dan, you got my attention with that. i have a story to tell in the "extra" about that point. that's all the time we have for tonight. many thanks to stephanie ruhle, danalz, ayesha rascoe and jonathan swan. you took us as close toew the as we could get this week. if you'd like more, check out our discussion o our website. we'll talk about the campaign and biden's serve for a running mate. we want to express deep gratitude for all the americanso who serve country on the battlefield or in our hospitals. i'm robert cta. good night from washington.

he sees himself as a future trump. he wants to stake out acclaim obama-gate.adopting this conspiracy theory that obama gave to trump -- >> so mr. wilson, by conspiracy, we have a viewer who asked thise question. don't a adyou believe the obama: administration did not over do their authority? >> i cannot say. i do not have access to all the classified information, but i will sayor p this. if you have a flag that a senior person is going tooff become the national security adviser or is the adviser is engaging in off booksls conversation for 44 nationals, many of them -- inare known to be involved in ti form of tuckr intelligence, tht should to purthat is their responsibil, their due diligence, they need tove a pursue things like that. i don't have access to all the information, but i will say this. theti trumponhave administratiof young i want to talk about a overstepping bounds, right now you've got bill barr, essentially engaging in an p extrajudicial process to rewrite a political narrative for donald trump t and to f

president trump the founders to seize control of media apparatus and says that there will be shooting if there is more looting the tweet was flagged and suppressed because twitter said it was more of find violence these thugs are dishonoring the memory of george floyd and i won't let that happen just to give new to mills and told him that the military's with. any difficulty and will assume control box when the looting stone the shooting starts thank you the u.s. attorney general has been deployed to investigate the actions of the officers who took boyd's life i feel very very. badly and it's a very shocking sight bill and i were talking about it before it's one of the reasons bill's here right. because as you know we're very much involved and i've asked attorney general f.b.i. and the attorney general to take a very strong look and to see what went on liberal leaning american media as declare the killing of george floyd and the protests that erupted in its aftermath it into a long pattern of police brutality racism and the government knowing the concerns of african-americans we do beg

i don't think trump knows what trump will do in the short term. look what happened with the stock prices overnight. look how european allies are reacting. this is a really, really big story. >> all right. thank you so much, jim vandehei. >> thank you. >> greatly appreciate it. richard haass, we talked about china a couple weeks ago. let's just take a step back this morning. the reality is that whether we are friends or whether we are enemies or whether it is a little bit of both, china and the united states are going to share the global stage together and rule the global stage together. dominate, not rule, but dominate the global stage together economically and militarily for the next 30 to 40 years. david ignatius this morning wrote a piece saying, "a move away from china means a move toward russia." but you look at gdp, you look at trade, you look at the economy. we are now connected with china in such a way that a separation from china not only damages china economically and in significant ways, it damages the united states economically. so wha

trump: i don't know. now you are talking about human rights abuses. -- he'sh-quality prison a high-quality person, mike. now, i have you telling me about dog walking, washing dishes and you know what? i would rather have him on the phone with some world leader than have him wash dishes because maybe his wife is there, his kids are there. what are you telling me? you know how stupid that sounds to the world? unbelievable. ok. >> did you see president obama's's speeches? pres. trump: i think president obama was one of the worst presidents in the history of our country. i know what he left us, a broken military, and military that isis was all over the place and i got rid of it. i not out 100% of the caliphate -- i knocked out 100% of the caliphate. we had a broken military, depleted military. we had little on the shelves when you talk about pandemics. we had a country that was in us. we were paying -- that was a mess. we were paying high taxes. i'm going to build the country into stronger and better than it

a pro-trump ad from an outside group that reinforced donald trump's claim that he was the candidate of the regular man. that ran on a loop in swing states like pennsylvania and michigan, but now as he faces reelection, trump is engulfed by questions of corruption, as he runs against the real version of what he only pretended about, a regular guy, a regular joe, if you might add. according to a national poll yesterday, joe biden is now leading trump by 11 percentage points with the support of a majority of voters, 50% favor biden, while 39% are for trump. hitting 50% is a rather big deal. his lead has grown by three points last month despite the low profile during the pandemic. that may explain donald trump's frantic attempts to suppress vote by mail. >> we don't want them to do mail-in ballot. it will lead to total election fraud. we don't want mail-in ballots. we don't want anyone to do it. if somebody has to mail it in because they're sick, or by the way, because they lift in the white house and they have to vote in florida, they won't be in florida, if there's a reason for it, that'

and ivanka trump, jared kushner, kellyanne conway and others. usually you unmask if people are doing -- talking to foreign governments. it's unclear if that was happening with these individuals or if this is just, you know, unmasking for political opposition purposes. what's your, what's your take on that? what's going on there? >> i think we'll are that revealed. --- have that reveale. i think the big essence of what you said, 53, that is so many. it means it goes deep and broadly into an institution that we should expect differently of it. and thank goodness lindsay is bringing it to the forefront. if there really are are that many individuals involved where you immediatete to find out and even if it gets down to a small fraction of it, that's significant. the american public ought to be concerned about that. that is really the deep state kind of run amok, and it's time, like i say, that we get the truth. elizabeth: you know, senator, house republicans led by jim jordan, also devin nuÑes, they want to get to the bottom of the trump russia pro

donald trump began by calling dr. bright quote a phony whistle blower and then donald trump rambled through some lies about dr. bright and then to win the point on hydroxychloroquine, donald trump decided to say this. >> i happen to be taking it. i happen to be taking it. >> hydroxychloroquine? >> i'm taking it. hydroxychloroquine. >> when? >> right now, yeah. couple of weeks ago started taking it. because i think it's good. i've heard a lot of good stories and if it's not good, i'll tell you right. i'm not going to get hurt by it. it's been around for 40 years for malaria and lupus and other things. >> note the viewers, donald trump is a pathological liar. i've been supplying that note to viewers on this program since 2011 when donald trump first started talking about president barack obama's birth certificate but especially worth a reminder tonight because people need to be warned when they see the president of the united states say i'm taking this drug and i think it's good, people should know that it's entirely po

president trump: i hope he sues. general flynn is going to have a heck of a case but he's got a judge that i guess doesn't like him very much, but maybe the judge doesn't like me very much, okay? maybe the judge doesn't like me very much. i'll tell you what i've read legal scholars they can't even believe what the judge is doing to. maria: we've got a lot more to come. stay with us for more of my sit down with president trump also ahead live this morning senator john kennedy congressman doug collins and new york city mayor bill so i listen to audible almost any time that i can. it's my own thing that i can do for me. since i don't have time to read, i mean i might as well listen. if i want to catch up on the news, or history, or learn what's going on in the world, i can download a book and listen to it. i listen to spanish lessons sometimes to and from work. yea, it makes me want to be better. audible reintroduced this whole world to me. it changes your perspective. it makes you a different person. see what listening

involved in the origins of the trump-russia probe. what about president obama himself? >> well, let me say this, you know, dave bossie and i wrote a book which came out over a year and a half ago, and we had the opportunity to interview president trump. it was the first time he interviewed anybody -- allowed anyone to interview him for a book, and we asked specifically if he thought that barack obama knew of what james comey and clapper were doing. and in the book in his own words on page 175 he says, yes, i think barack obama knew. and as we see the transcripts which have just been released from the house intelligence committee, sally yates confirmed what donald trump said almost two full year ago, that barack obama knew exactly what comey and clapper and brennan were doing. so to that this came from the absolute highest levels of the government. we also know that joe biden was in the oval office when that conversation took place, and he needs to be asked the questions of what did he do, what did he to know and what did he sanction a

trump. the dismissal appears to serve trump's personal political interest rather than the interests of the public. how does that argument work in court to reverse or stop as you hope to do the justice department saying we changed our mind. we withdraw the prosecutions? >> well, i'll try not to be too much of a policy wonk. but the rule that is at issue here is rule 48 a and b. and it's a rule that says the prosecution can move to dismiss a case with the leave of the court, meaning the court has to exercise its discretion. it's not enough so say we the almighty department of justice want to have this case dismissed. it has to be with the leave of the court. and what's the standard? is it in the interest of the public to grant that dismissal? well, this is a judge whose heard flynn twice say he committed this, heard the first -- >> i'm going pause you. you move so fast, i would be nervous to be in your law school course. you're jumping ahead to part two. but on part one, let's just be clear. y

you could not a picture trump doing obama is eloquent and trump is kind of envious of that eloquence you know you don't you don't have many people as are called as barack obama sore trouble getting into the gutter with them. obama is a very popular ex-president with the next 1st lady who saw as fabulous a person in the world now from maybe true on dangerous water here maybe so the last word on this think president trump should be picking a fight with former president obama. i would say no but you never know when donald trump boys get i don't think he should pick on obama obama is very popular in america trump has his base of the base will always stay with them but i'll see anything beyond the base when you were tagged obama who is today the most popular political figure in america so i think it's a mistake but it is trump and you never count trump out well i hope your old friend is listening and hears now because there's probably nothing good that will come out of picking a fight with barack obama that we will see evidence of larry king as always appreciate your insight thank you. ot

, at the time candidate trump. elizabeth: so, senator, they couldn't get the fisa warrants to go look into what michael flynn was talking about. instead they went to the nsa. these are not intelligence officials. these are political officials looking into it. your thoughts. >> this gives americans pause. we want national security but if there is politicalization of those authorities to go after political enemies that is what happens in venezuela. it shut not happen in the united states. that is what the americans people need to have this cleared. we, we need to have trust in our institutions not own always wondering i wonder if they are coming after me because i'm a political enemy? that is not good. elizabeth: officials in the obama administration asked for flynn phone calls before he talked to the russian ambassador, weeks before. james clapper refused to answer questions on cnn on who leaked to "the washington post" the flynn information. i mean u.s. attorney john durham is reportedly investigating illegal leaks

trump: it is very exciting. just so you know, dan is making a very major contribution towards helping people, so we appreciate that. i am talking about a monetary contribution as well as, more importantly, what you're doing scientifically. we appreciate it very much. doctor, would you say a few words? the fda has been moving things along at a level they have never done before. thank you, mr. president. we appreciate it. we authorized gilead's application for emergency use authorization for the use of remdesivir in hospitalized patients. that was issued today. thank you, and congratulations work aty, for the great the company and the collaboration we have had. i also want to thank the more than 18,000 employees at the f.d.a. who have heeded the president's call to reduce regulatory burden and redtape and move things forward. this is like lightning speed in terms of getting approved from clinical trial to the fda, it has been quite a speedy but also important process. this is an important clinical advance that sho

trump is so obvious. if you met trump on tinder, and messaged him hello, his first reply would be what size bed do you have [ laughter ] on top of that, we also learned yesterday that mueller is reportedly investigating the white house's shifting explanations for that infamous trump tower meeting. don jr. had with the russians during the 2016 campaign as you might recall, the trump team originally said don jr. and the russians discussed a program about the adoption of russian children a topic that is, of course, close to don jr.'s heart since his brother was adopted from, transylvania [ laughter ] i think? but then emails later surfaced in which it was revealed that the meeting was explicitly about getting dirt on hillary clinton from the russians. the times reported that trump and his communications director hope hicks knew about the emails, but that hicks said the emails, quote, "will never get out. amazing, so not only did the emails get out, the comment about how the emails would never get out, got ou

donald trump has lied about deaths before. the biggest lie donald trump told as a presidential candidate is that he lost hundreds of friends on 9/11. >> how did he keep us safe when the world trade center -- the world -- excuse me. i lost hundreds of friends. >> when donald trump said that in the south carolina debate, i immediately tweeted he was lying. the next day donald trump changed the hundreds of friends to many, many friends. he said he lost many friends on 9/11 and i immediately tweeted that was also a lie. the truth is that donald trump lost zero friends on 9/11, zero. he did not attend a single 9/11 funeral, not one. what he was trying to do for his political gain was to steal the grief of thousands of people who lost family members who loved ones and friends on 9/11. donald trump was trying to steal their grief and make it his own and turn it into political currency. and that same donald trump is now trying to steal the grief of the thousands of american families who have lost a loved one to coronavirus, the thousa

trump never got his. got on the right track after they took out flint he went through a bunch of n.s.a. guys including the master and of course let's not forget john bolton and let's not forget all the trouble that bolton call. trumps foreign policy so taking out flynn was was a key move for the neo liberals and the neo cons and the deep state as a point of one point number 2 is obama and let's not forget obama because if komi did this. i think obama knew or maybe even order in my opinion komi to do this because obama told trump to watch out for falling now why were 2 people exactly and joan ok exactly exactly ed now why did obama say that why did he want trump i think for one of 2 reasons maybe both flynn wanted to get out of syria when actually exposed syria to be honest he exposed that obama was funding isis al-qaeda and all these guys and the other reason is that flynn wanted to dismantle the iran deal he was in favor of it which was a which was a keystone to to obama's foreign policy so obama warns a

president trump is very direct in his hateful words. he says what he means, but then oftentimes he gets cold on the carpet and tries to backtrack. he wrote exactly what he meant, which is why twitter flagged that post, flagged that tweet as hate speech. and something that is promoting violence. because it does promote violence. and trump has had several speeches, for example speaking to a group of police officers in the stadium, he mentioned taking their hands and putting them in the car and knocking him against the car. he said shooting people, shooting suspects. so president trump has been a person who has promoted violence against people, however, in charlottesville, all of the guys in charlottesville okay but now saying shoot these protesters. that is wrong. it is coming from the top of our white house, the leader of the free world. and it makes it more dangerous where people think it is okay to go out and do these things. >> dana: of course, the president has responded to many of the things like charlottesville. he has responded ma

how bad is that for donald trump? i mean, even the sound bite we rolled in, americans, i would think, understand that he's jusr got it wrong. >> yeah. it was a disaster for donald trump, mika. we see this play out every single day on television, when donald trump literally steps in it. you know, this is not something -- this is not a self-manufactured crisis that trump is doing here. this is actually people's lives on the line. i think that is one of the reasons why you're seeing these poll numbers trend the way that they are. you can track that to the fact that people trust joe biden. they know he has steady lead leadership we need right now in the country. n to the point willie made, he is not even doing that.ng he's doing a lot, but he is not out there every day, trying to be the counterpoint to donald trump. he is in his basement doing a lot of local media interviews. he is raising money. he is doing a lot of virtual town halls to key constituencies. that is exactlyy why -- how he should be handling this right now

trump: great job. you have the governor and everybody else has done. >> he tells me your approach is the right approach. you are working with the governors across the country and empowering them to open up as soon as they can. based on the conditions in their state. every state is different. that is why the approach is so important and you have provided evolving support, along with us in congress with the cares act, as well. you see that in north dakota, colorado, and across the country. it is important you are doing it the way you are doing it with these great governors. the other thing i want to mention is for our partners. i work a lot in ag. for our farmers and ranchers you , have been there for them, hanging with them. you are doing a whale of a job. and our energy industry. pres. trump: and we are sending them billions of dollars of money that we took in from the country that targeted them. we give them $16 billion last year. the year before we gave them $12 billion. no other president would have

donald trump at 39% nationally. you and your colleagues have done some great reporting on some of the places where the trump campaign had hoped to plus up their coalition, all those efforts seriously undermine by the president's pandemic response. i played that sound of trump, i'm pretty judicious what i amplify by the president because of his penchant for lying. i thought it was interesting, at this point, he's abdicating every aspect of his job including restarting the economy. is there any front on which they feel they're on the offense? >> well, obviously on the offense in going after vice president biden, they're on the offense of going after china, world health organization, looking at others to say, here's how these people -- this person didn't do well in that instance. but you're right, i think they're looking at an electoral map that has gotten more complicated. it would be interesting he would choose today by attacking michigan for sending out mail-in ballots. of course republican-led states are doing very

donald trump of course a billionaire businessman. from different backgrounds but certainly were fluid in their early years in terms of the political affiliations but i think what both men had in common was a love of country, a love of the average everyday regular ordinary person who behaved in their country and they had sentiments in case that resonated with the people at the time. in the movie the darkest hour just a couple of years ago, many of the viewers will remember a scene where winston churchill goes into london and she did this with the regular commute just seemed he had that kind of great relationship with the average person and again rather surprisingly because winston churchill was a democratic guy born into money, wealthy and the same way donald trump is this billionaire businessman that seems to have a blue-collar taste in food he eats and what e does, both men very relatable. donald trump loves junk food, winston churchill similarly obviously it's too much like all of us do on occasion, drink too much, i think these ar

trump's rhetoric aside. is there any evidence that the last four years have seen more activity by these supposedly neutral parties to undermine the policies of the trump administration? administration? >> i would say no in most parts of the government. i think that many people have left. there's a lot of departures at the epa and michael lewis wrote about this and the other departments. i think the biggest question focuses on the fbi and the trump russia investigation. james baker, this is not james baker, the former secretary of state, but there's a james baker who was the general counsel at the fbi. he worked with jim comey throughout the summer of 2016 and as the trump administration was carrying out the russian investigation. the big question, was the fbi undermining trump by investigating his campaign? i, you know, kind of agree with the findings of this, again, an inspector general, an independent position that was put together, so the inspector general for the department, michael horowitz put out a 5,

so trump has been itching to get out of the house. and yesterday, he finally made it happen with a trip to arizona, where he toured a factory making n95 masks for part of the federal government's response to the pandemic. and for a trip meant to highlight coronavirus safety, things got off to an awkward start. >> reporter: this was the president's first trip during the coronavirus pandemic, and we quickly learned, there are a lot of new rules for the road. governor doug ducey welcoming president trump on the sky harbor tarmac. trump going in for the handshake and a head fake, then settled for a back slap. senator martha mcsally went for the air elbow bump then a mock hug from congresswoman debbie lesko. >> trevor: beat lord in heaven, that was a disaster. that looked like every time a white person goes in for a handshake with a black person. "are we going to do-- are we going to explode? you take the lead, my brother." it almost looked like trump was messing with the governor of arizona. "handshake? psyche, you idiot! don't you know t

what you think. >> i think the people expect president trump to be president trump. i don't think that's going to stop them from voting for him, those who support him in november, come november, and what makes the difference here steve is the fact that president trump isn't afraid to express how he feels and that's pretty much what every american is feeling so if he's talking about governor witmer and she all of a sudden is complaining and politicizing after having a phone call with him he's just an essay it like it is which is actually very refreshing. i understand sometimes people can be put off by this because they're used to politicians being politicians, but the reason president trump was elected is because he connects with the american people and we know that he is telling the truth and he's actually fighting for us because he's not afraid to say what's on his mind and i think that makes the real difference here. steve: that's right, is met. that's one of the biggest changes, aside from all the policy changes is this completely reinvented the way people see the

[applause] >> president trump: that's fantastic. >> president trump: that's fantastic. isn't that right? please get in the picture. this is a great honor. that's a beautiful flag, too. hold that up so they can see. that's really beautiful. that's a big day. >> the delta, the northstar signifies the core value or guiding light if you will and the orbit around the globe signifies this case space capabilities that fuel our american way of life and our americans at war. >> president trump: i'm going to do this for roger. here you go, roger. please don't put this on ebay tonight.

trump. he should be willing to go everywhere as trump was in 2016. trump's-free wheeling moments and appearances that reach the broader audience have exposed him as unfit like his recent suggestion to treat covid-19 with disinfectant. if the public continues to lose confidence in his management of the pandemic, it is likely that he'll revert even more to predictable and small partisan corners. by going everywhere, biden will meet voters where they are, on their terms, being able to do so without leaving his makeshift home studio which gives him a tremendous advantage. it is only fitting that a return to normalcy would be achieved through the most abnormal circumstances in recent campaign history. liz, the basement bunker may be the best thing for joe biden in the age of coronavirus. >> yeah, so i know that that is sort of goes against what the conventional wisdom is, that somehow he's at a disadvantage, but think about it. the way that we run modern presidential campaigns is really inefficient. it is really inexpensive. it is time intensive. and it i

trump: thank you very much. please. this afternoon, i will sign a proclamation declaring the month of may to be older americans month. i don't know if i am in that category. i have a feeling i'm. -- i have a feeling i am. but i feel good. and our country is making a lot of progress. making a lot of progress. as we honor the contributions of our nation's seniors, we are here to discuss the unprecedented steps we are taking to protect seniors from the virus. i will also announce vital new actions to safeguard nursing homes and most vulnerable citizens as we gradually seek to reopen our country. it is very exciting to see what s happening. secretary alex azar, robert wilkie, great job. verna, ator seema fema administrator pete gaynor, and chief of the national guard joseph lingo, thanks also to tennessee governor bill lee, my friend. thank you very much, bill, great job you're doing. great being with you. and ma outstanding advocates for america's seniors who are here with us today, thank you all very much. as we tragicall

trump: very soon. it is an interesting question because normally you would have said that you are not tested and you would have been knocking us for not getting tested. if we get tested it is a problem, but i'd like to what your question was phrased this way because it is a positive. we are tested and we have great capability. you look at all these machines -- incredible machines, the best anywhere in the world. no place in the world has this kind of equipment. sophisticated countries are calling -- lots of countries. we are trying to make as much as we can available to them because there is nothing like we have -- what we have been able to do literally in a couple of months -- what they have been able to do, the private sector -- how they got it done. to 15 minutee tests, the abbott laboratories tests. these tests are highly sophisticated, very quick, very good. these are things that did not even exist a short while ago. we have a great testing capability at the white house. we are doing it. generally

trump: great job. john, what do you have to say about the state and the job the governor and everybody else has done? i know it well. >> listening to the two governors, i was governor a long time, your approach is the right approach. we are working with governors across the country and empowering them to open up as soona they can safely based on the conditions in their state and every state is different. that is why the approach is so important and you providing all that support, along with congress and the cares act, as well. you see that, now, with north dakota, with colorado, and across the country, so that is why it is so important you are doing it in a way you are doing it with these great governors we have across the state. thank you for that. the other thing, for farmers, i work with hay, for farmers and ranchers, you have been there for them and hang in there with them, they are doing a whale of a job. they are so important, and the energy industry, too. >> pres. trump: we are sending them mill

i mean, not to president trump. he already knew there was a problem -- lou: you call it a coronavirus. the president called it the that virus. -- china virus. he called it the wuhan virus. and even the chinese called it the wuhan virus, but we just heard you say coronavirus -- [laughter] and we haven't heard the president use the expression china virus. whether it's ebola, whether it's -- you name the virus, they're nearly all named for places. but suddenly it's politically un-- incorrect to call this wuhan virus. i am tired, i am tired of thought control in the form of correct language. this is what it is, and americans have been plain spoken, no one more plain spoken that this president. it disturbs me to see any retreat from that vivid and straightforward expression on the part of the white house. >> well, you know, i think that you've got a point in the sense of what are we calling it because words do matter. but when i look at what president trump is doing, i think that the deeds that he's doing are really sign

as president trump tries to steer the u.s. back to some semblance of normal, it's worth taking a look at how we got here, what the president did, what he did not do, and how the united states ended up with at least, according to official records, the most cases and the most death of any country. >> revellers shoulder to shoulder. s celebrating a new year that would bring a new virus. a new normal. emptying these streets. >> in early january, this is when the trump administration really gets the first word out of china, and it goes to the head of the cdc that there is this series of respiratory illnesses going around. they haven't identified it. and this is already a concern to the top health officials in the administration. >> the chinese government reported dozens of cases of pneumonia in the city of wuhan. closed down a market it suspected as the cause, and assured the world health organization, or w.h.o., that there was, quote, no evidence of significant human-to-human transmission. but as chinese president xi jinping's gov

did, they don't have president trump running that country. two things happening in mexico, covid, and then your remittence payment sending fam to family in mexico has stopped, they are take a a double hit with their economy. they are not getting billions of dollars in remittences right now, you will see them come across border sick they would rather be in an american hospital. you have people like nancy pelosi with stimulus packages and gavin newsom giving 75 million to illegal aliens in covid response in california, why wouldn't they come? we have best health care system, and politicians like pelosi and gavin newsom giving them money, it will get worse before it gets better with that sickness coming across and taking advantage. elizabeth: critics say we have homeless veterans and a lot. >> i am elizabeth macdonald, have a good evening, join us again tomorrow night. join us ag. ♪ >> a texas family inherits a houseful of history worth millions. >> bam! >> bob davis was a world-class collector. >> [ imitates sword whooshing ] >> he had a love

the fight between the trump administration and house democrats. it looks like a big loss by house democrats on house judiciary. supreme court rejecting a push by house judiciary democrats to get secret grand jury material out of the trump mueller probe. get to ranking republican on house judiciary. he is congressman doug collins. you're reaction, when you heard that the house democrats lost in this fight? by the way, thanks so much for coming on congressman. what dot house democrats saying now about that supreme court loss? >> well, they're saying, they will say it was wrong, they should have it but the problem they have been wrong from the start. jerry nadler and house democrats in the judiciary committee have been nothing except perpetual investigation, witch-hunting against this president and they wanted information they could not get and never actually engaged in the judiciary department, doj to actually find out what they could get. they went straight to the courts. they went straight for information they should never get in these processes.

fauci won't have donald trump lurking over him. let it rip, tell us the truth, that's your obligation as administration official and an american. >> what are you hoping to be able to do in the united states senate. quote something donald trump said about democrats, said the democrats are moving slowly all over the usa for political purposes would like to wait until november 3rd if it were up to them. don't play politics. just said it in tweet and version in the briefing today. >> this is the donald trump who said we have to wait a while, don't have to rush. this is leader mcconnell who doesn't see purpose of immediate action when we have food -- lines for food that go miles and miles, when we have people not even able to be with their loved ones dying of this disease, when we don't have the kind of basic necessities that so many people still need and ppe and other things to protect themselves. and donald trump is now saying democrats are going slow? mr. president, we forced you to do a large bill in covid three that you didn't want

trump: that is fantastic. gov. burgum: we were able to then drive through that and focus on the virus. less to worry about opening up because we never really closed down. that other 7%, those businesses open to on may 1. those operating procedures. pres. trump: prices are going up a little bit for oil. funny six dollars, $27 per barrel. pretty soon, you will be up to the number that you have to be at. that makes a big difference. gov. burgum: absolutely. what we do in north dakota is we power the world, we feed the world. number two producer of steak in the nation. a lot was related to the demand destruction associated with the oil price drop. pres. trump: great job. you have the governor and everybody else has done. he tells me your approach is the right approach. you are working with the governors across the country and empowering them to open up as soon as they can. theiron the conditions in state. every state is different. that is why the approach is so important and you have provided evolving support, along wi
