me on facebook, and follow me onesti gram @loudobbstonight. good night from sussex. elizabeth: i'm elizabeth macdonald. "the evening edit" starts right now. the president now delivering remarks in the rose garden. the president started speaking about china and hong kong. he is really tearing into joe biden and heart left democrats in the party. let's listen back in. >> with guatemala, el el el salvador, we have great agreements. biden and obama, they wouldn't take them, now with us they take them. some day i will tell you why. some day i will tell you why. they take them and they take them very gladly. they used to bring them out and

wouldn't let the airplanes land if they brought them back by airplanes. they wouldn't let buses into their country. they said, we don't want them. no, but they entered our country illegally. they're murderers killers in some cases they said, no, we don't want them. ple eanrod,roro ld ln den n night.night.nigh o wh wowt wowt hpe h hdo to tm ttt wtastn'tn'td.oooo taayer-fde-fladedes wills wie b ve tve to a iegegallis. here wrerengng tong tay forhe s wybbs y.lobb 'rwegoggooggoivg all a a illegal aliens taxpayer-ndr- l lrs. does thathathathattnd? prettyetood?d? comeco her illegallyegal we'll give you free legal advice. we'll take you up to the supreme court as much as possible. abolish immigration enforcement against illegal workers. think of that. abolish immigration enforcement. they are going to abolish immigration enforcement. basically as you know, what they're going to do they're

going to rip down the wall. taking it down. they want to take down the wall, we fought for up to 259 miles of great, powerful wall. that is really working because if you look at the numbers in addition to the fact that mexico for various reasons has 27,000 soldiers on our southern border to keep people out of our country. and i appreciate. we had a great meeting last week with the president of mexico, great guy. friend of mine. become a friend of mine. a lot of people thought that couldn't happen because we're very opposite in terms of our views. maybe in terms of our temperament but he is a great guy. he is a friend of mine. they have been terrific. mexico has been terrific. 27,000 soldiers on our border. mexican soldiers and we have great, great numbers. got rid of so many different things. catch-and-release is gone. so many different things have taken place. we used to catch them, take

their name, and release them into our country. we don't do that anymore. we now release them back where they came from. sometimes we'll bring them back to their country. grant work permits for illegal aliens. if you come here illegally you get a work permit. people that live here don't get permits. subsidies for illegal aliens and illegal immigrants. we want to provide taxpayer subsidies and welfare for people that come into our country illegally, illegal immigrants. they want government health care for all illegal aliens. this is part of their plan. i'm not making this up. this is all down in their plan from last week. this is good compared to what i heard today. federal student aid and free community college for illegal aliens. what do you think about that? federal student aid and free community college. we're going to have every person

in the world pouring into our country from all over the world. by the way, the wall was so timely because it stopped people coming in from heavily-infected areas of mexico. if we had that we would be in trouble like you wouldn't believe. you wouldn't believe. remember, cases is different than deaths. and cases we give you because our testing is the best in the world and by the way, by far the most. 45 million. find out which country tested 45 million people. if china, if russia, if india, tested 45 million people, or if they did tests like we did, check out how many cases they would have. but it is still, we've done a great job, get no credit for it and i don't want the credit. i want the people that have done this great job, the people that have done such incredible job building ventilators, building

testing, building a testing platform amazing. we have many platforms. many companies come up with different forms of test. when we started there was no such thing. sign new immigrants up for welfare immediately this is joe biden. so they walk off and they come in and they put a foot into our land and we sign, new immigrants up for welfare. we sign them up immediately. they get welfare benefit. the united states citizens don't get what they're looking to give illegal immigrants. think of that. sign up, hard to believe, i'm even reading that. new immigrants for welfare immediately. not to mention the cost of this which is incalcuable, the cost of this is so crazy. end requirement for immigrant self-sufficiency and maximize their welfare this is us writing this. who is not coming to the united

states? every person from south america is going to pour in. every person from other countries, they're going to be pouring in. end requirement. think of that for immigrant self-sufficiency and remember to maximize welfare. so we're giving them maximum. then we have massively expand immigration during a global pandemic, taking jobs from unemployed americans. end all travel bans including from jihadist regions. so now we have travel bans. a lot of you said i didn't get the travel ban and you were wrong. we got the travel ban. we lost in the ninth circuit. we lost again in the ninth circuit and we won in the supreme court. we have a very strong travel ban. we don't want people that will come in and blow up our cities, do things and frankly with the,

with liberal democrats running the cities that we do have where they do have problems, maybe they wouldn't mind but i would mind and people of this country mind. so listen to this, enall travel bans. talking about the ban that i won, that everybody said i didn't win. they said i didn't win because in the lower court we lost. that we lost in the appellate division. then we won in the supreme court. they said he lost. and they're right, at the lower level but meantime we won in the supreme court. so it is in effect. they didn't say that. they said we lost. which again is fake news. that is the way they do it. end all travel bans including from jihadist regions, they specify that. grant mass amnesty. everybody gets amnesty. mass amnesty. think of that, this is create a road map to citizenship for massive, massive numbers. we're not talking about daca because i'm going to take care of daca, much better than the

democrats did. the democrats had their chance and they blew it but we're going to take care of daca because i'm going to be doing in the not-too-distant future, pretty soon, i'm going to be signing a new immigration action, very, very big, merit-based immigration action. that based on the daca decision i will be able to do. vastly expand low-skilled immigration to the united states. so they want a lot of people come in with low skills. i like merit. think of that. vastly expand low-skilled immigration to the united states. these are the things that are in the plan. this is biden. biden's gone radical left. increase refugee admissions by 700%. huh. that's a lot. by 700%. nobody has ever heard of such a thing. increase refugee admissions by

700%. abolish law enforcement as we know it. i think the police do an incredible job in this country. and you're going to have a rogue terrible cop, on occasion like you do in any industry, any business, any profession but i do think they do an incredible job. abolish law enforcement as we know it. end cash bail. no bail. we let you right out. look what happened to new york. crime is up. shootings are up, at numbers nobody ever seen before. look at chicago, what a disaster. we're waiting for them to call us because we're all set to go. we have the fbi. we have homeland security. we have everybody ready to go. we have the national guard. they're already to go. end cash bail, releasing dangerous criminals on to our streets, cash bail. new york just did that. other places have done it. they haven't turned out too

good. abolish complete lit death penalty. i know there is a lot of debate on the death penalty and there has been for a long time, sometimes you use the death penalty depending on the crime. you know what happened today with regard to the death penalty. appoint social justice prosecutors in order to free violent criminals. so they want to appoint social justice prosecutors to free violent criminals. end mandatory minimums. and that is by empowering judges to determine appropriate sentences. by fighting to repeal mandatory minimums at the federal level it gives states incentives to repeal their mandatory minimums. we can go on for days. incentivize prison closure.

so they want to close our prisons. now they want to abolish, they want to abolish our police department. they want to abolish our prisons and incentivize jails and prison closures as populations decline. insure resources saved are invested directly into the communities. so they want to close them, rather than have them for very bad people. people that are not going to behave when they get out. you see that in new york. they allowed a lot of criminals out and those criminals are causing havoc and then they got rid of their incredible and legendary crime squad and bad things are happening in new york, bad things are happening. i love new york. i hate to see what's going on. end solitary confinement. free federal housing for former

inmates. federal housing now can go to inmates, former inmates. rejoin paris climate accord and seek an even higher level of restrictions. oh, i didn't notice that. oh, i see. so they want to rejoin the paris climate accord and they want to seek an even higher level of restraint. in other words, make it worse than it was. mandate net zero carbon emissions for homes, offices, all new buildings by 2030. that basically means no windows, no nothing. it is very hard to do. i tell people when they want to go into some of these buildings, how are your eyes? they won't be good in five years. i hope you don't mind cold office space in the winter and warm office space in the summer, because your air-conditioning is not the same as the good old days. mandate zero carbon emissions

from power plants from 2035. zero. we're talking about zero. nothing can go in the air. mandate net zero carbon emissions by 2050. i believe he is changing that. he is bringing it down. he wants no petroleum product. he wants no oil or gas. i don't think texas will do too well. they will get rid of about seven million jobs if you go by the biden plan. i don't think that, oklahoma, north dakota, pennsylvania, going to be too happy with that, and many other states. ohio, mandate all 500,000 school buses and all three million government vehicles be changed to zero emission vehicles within five years. i heard of worse than that. install 500,000 taxpayer-funded charging stations nationwide. here is a bad one, really bad one, end school choice. there is nothing that the

african-american community wants more than school choice. and mothers and fathers are going to be very happy to see him be defeated just on that alone. end school choice. so joe biden wants to end school choice. end tax credit scholarships serving disadvantaged student in 26 states. oppose 14 million americans with education savings accounts. and get rid of school choice having to do with school choice. eliminate school choice in washington, d.c. you know what they have done in washington. they have some incredible examples right here, example. i know of one example. i think they have a number of one but one is incredible. abolish all charter schools. charter schools are doing great. ban funding for charter schools

in poor neighborhoods. we don't want charter schools in poor neighborhoods. well, that's not fair. abolish educational standards. abolish in the suburbs, you will abolish the suburbs with this. enforce obama-biden's radical affh, that is the affh regulation. that threatens to strip localities of federal affordable housing fund unless they change their zoning laws to fit the federal government's demands. so what you have, i've been watching this for year in westchester, coming from new york, they want low-income housing built in a neighborhood. i'm ending that rule. i'm taking it out. so i spoke with ben carson the other day. we'll be taking it out. i have watched that whole thing go and now they want to make it twice as bad in the suburbs, in the suburbs. mothers are not happy about that. fathers are not happy about

that. they worked hard to buy a us who. now they will watch the housing values drop like a rock and that has happened. drop like a rock. so we're not going to do that. we're going to do the exact opposite. probably there has never been a time, and this is just a few, it is much worse than that. we did this very quickly. probably never been a time when candidates are so different. we want law and order. they don't want law and order. we want strong closed borders with people able to come in through merit, through a legal process. they don't want to have any borders at all. they will rip down the wall. it was hard to get that built and now it is almost completed. it will be completed by a little after the end of the year. they want to rip it down. it has had such an impact it is incredible. it stops traffic in human trafficking of women and children but women mostly. human trafficking, one of the worst things ever, all at a level that it has never been at

because of the internet. you think of it as an ancient statement, you wouldn't think that is possible today, but human trafficking of women and children. and they want to let that go, continue, the wall has stopped it so much because they will go over to a section where there aren't people, not an entry point. and they will make a left into the united states. they're on their way. they can't do that anymore. we have a 30-foot wall that goes six feet into the ground, stop as lot of the tunneling because they're pretty good at tunnels. we watched tunnels. we have equipment for that. you can't make a left anymore and come into the united states, loaded up with human traffic. so they want to take down the wall. they want to have open borders. think of open borders today though with the pandemic. i mean the timing is sort of interesting but with the pandemic. so there never has been a time

when two candidates were so different. i mean i've sign races where it is like the same exact platforms. i'm even talking about essentially democrat, republican, there is not that much difference. it is a little difference but there is not much. you choose one because you like the way they look, you like the way they sound, you like the way they talk, you like something about one you don't like the other. there have never been a difference. here is one of the greatest differences. this is without question the single biggest difference, if you want law and order. for instance i enacted recently when i saw all that was going on with federal monuments, we don't have the right to do states although we're trying to find it but, with the monuments where they wanted to rip down andrew jackson, they wanted to rip down george washington. they were heading over to the jefferson memorial, if you can believe that but this has been going on and i found an act that

we have used. we have many many, many people in jail right now. many, many people in jail all over the country because they tried to destroy or in some cases got, got it down, a federal statue or monument. we haven't had anybody making a move since i enacted this. i signed an executive order of a couple of weeks ago and, it says very simply, 10 years in jail. you do it, 10 years in jail. the amazing part is we're able to catch everybody because, thanks to all of you on television, we appreciate it, but we have their pictures. we have the man standing on andrew jackson's horse. we have the man standing by general george washington. we have everybody standing, they were going to go for the emancipation proclamation,

abraham lincoln, standing with a young man who is being freed. and we said, we're going to do something. we can't let this happen. now it could be removed at some point. you go through a process a legal process, go through congress, whatever, i understand that but at same time some people like these statues and monuments but it can be removed but you have to go through a legal process. they were going to have 20 to 25,000 people that night. nobody showed up. nobody. you know that, because you were disappointed to see that. the next night i believe 22 people showed up. they said we're going to make it friday night instead. and 22 people showed up. four were actually arrested because we have pictures of them knocking down other statues. so they're in jail now. so, there has never been an election where we've had this

kind of difference. we want strong borders, without borders you heard me say it a thousand times, without borders you don't have a country. they don't want to have borders. they want to have open borders. it is radical left. it will destroy our country. 20 years ago, venezuela was a very rich country. one of the richest, one of the richest anywhere, per capita one of the richest. tremendous oil reserves. now they don't have water. they don't have food. they don't have medicine. we do everything we can to take care of the people. but they have nothing. and that's exactly the ideology that you have going over here, if i wasn't there to stop it, if i wasn't here to say, no way, that is not going to happen, we would be in some mess. we would be in some mess. and pelosi and schumer and

bernie and joe, they will never stop it. they don't have the power, the strength to stop it. it is beyond them. but we do. so there never been a time like this where you have had an election of people so different. okay, couple of questions. yeah, please, go ahead. reporter: sir, you spent the better part of an hour explaining why americans should choose you not your open.. yesterday you said on twitter, be careful what you wish for. the question, do you see yourself as underdog in this race? do you see yourself losing in the fall? >> no, i don't. we have really good poll numbers. they're not suppression polls. they're real polls. you look at intercoastal in florida. you look at lakes, you see thousands of boats with trump signs, american signs. you've to the the trump-pence sign all over. you look what is going on. you look at bikers, for miles and miles riding up highways proudly with their signs. i have, look we won a race where

it was the same thing, 2016. we had polls that were fake. they turn out to be fake. not all, a couple of them got it right. three of them to be exact. three of them. one of them was unsuspecting but, they got it right. they were very proud of it but we had in 2016, something even more so but we got in and we had 306 to, i guess 223, which was a tremendous margin of difference. you remember they all said he cannot get to 270. i went to maine a number of times we freed up lobster fishing and fishing. they took away 5000 square miles from maine. i just opened it up. i just got rid of tariffs in china and we're working on european union which charge our fisherman tariffs. i said you're not going to do that. so we freed it up for maine. but if you take a look we went up there recently, there were

crowds, thousands of people lined up going over to a factory where we were opening up for, making swabs, a big beautiful new factory making swans. i think the enthusiasm now is greater and maybe far greater than it was in 2016. i think a lot of people don't want to talk about it. i think they're not going to say, hey, i'm for trump, i'm for trump. they don't want to go through the process. i fully understand that because the process is not fair. the media doesn't treat us fairly. they never have, perhaps they never will. maybe they will when we turn this around a second time. it will happen very quickly, we turn it around for a second time. maybe they will. i think we're doing very well in the polls. i think you have a silent majority, the likes of which this country has never seen before. this is a very important election. we've done a great job. we had a turn it off as i said. turn it off and we've started it again. as you know, they announced two

weeks ago record job numbers, almost five million people. that beat the last month which was a record, 2.8 million people. nobody has ever done what we've done and now we're doing it twice. and i think by election day you're going to see some incredible numbers. the third quarter is going to be really good. fourth quarter is going to be great but next year is going to be one of the best economic years. hopefully i will be able to be the president where we say look at the great job i did. i think great. i think we have a great chance. i think we'll have a lot of people show up. i'm very worried about mail-in voting. i think it is subject to tremendous fraud and being rigged. you see patterson, new jersey, where i believe 20% of the vote was fraudulent. it was all sorts of things happen. i understand a mailman was recently indicted, someplace for playing games with the mail-in ballots. you will have tremendous fraud,

if you do these mail-in ballots. now absent tee ballots are okay. absentee ballots you have to get applications. go through a process. i'm here, i vote in florida, you get an absentee ballot but you have to go through a process. absentee ballots are great. mail-in voting where a governor mails millions of ballots to people all over the state. california, millions and millions of ballots. they come back. they don't come back. who got them? did you forget to send them to a republican area or a democrat area i guess you could say? but if you take a look at all of the unbelievable fraud that has been involved with mail-in voting over the last, even short period -- look at patterson, new jersey. it was a massive error and a massive miscalculation and there was incredible fraud. look at the city council, what's happened to it this is one place. but you have many places and they're all -- yes, please.

reporter: thank you, sir. i want to know when is the last time you spoke with president xi of china and do you plan to speak with him in the near future? >> no. i haven't spoken to him, no, i have no plan to speak to him. reporter: follow-up? reporter: [inaudible] >> go ahead. reporter: ruth bader ginsburg was hospitalized with an infection. if you had any reaction to that news? >> no, i wish her the best. i didn't hear that. she was hospitalized. that is too bad. no, i wish her the best. she is actually giving me some good rulings. okay? so you know that, right? people are surprised. no, i wish her the absolute best. please. reporter: thank you, mr. president. so you mentioned travel bans. i wonder when do you plan to review that because -- situations under control, much better place than the u.s. and there is no ban for other hot

spots like russia and india. what would be the criteria to change that? >> you know we banned for europe and at some point that will come off. we're dealing with them all the time. the relationship is very good. they just don't treat us very well on trade. they are, they have been very unfair to us over many, many decades. and we're doing that. it is very easy to solve. i was all set to solve it actually. then we got it had with the plague but we have a travel ban on various countries and that travel ban remains until such time as we say it doesn't remain. we want our country safe. we don't want, unlike biden, we don't want to have criminals pouring into our country. we don't want to have open borders. we're not going to have that. we want to take care of our police. we want to actually fund our police, not defund them. we're not going to abolish our police. we're not going to make our military small and weak because probably, or at least top of the level, we need our military right now. go ahead, please.

reporter: so who do you think that america first policy can work during a pandemic? aren't you concerned that this could actually damage the u.s. and make it, china more influenced around the world? >> look, my policy is america first. we've lost hundreds of billions of dollars a year with china and many other countries and what we're doing is just handing everybody everything. it is just sad. i watched it. i looked at it. we did the u.s.-mexico, you saw that usmca. we made a very fair deal on trade. we had the worst deal ever, right? you know that. we had the worst deal ever and it replaced that. it replaced that horrible nafta deal that was one of the worst trade deals ever made. i'll tell you the only deal that might be worse is the wto, world trade organization, may be worse. please? >> reporter: thank you, mr. president. your administration has taken tangible steps to insure that chinese companies are not taking

advantage of our u.s. stock market. >> that's true. reporter: our trade. last week your administration sent a letter to the railroad retirement board asking them to reconsider investments in chinese defense firms. >> meaning not to invest. that's correct. reporter: correct. where is that request now? are you taking tangible actions to insure that u.s. investments don't continue to fund defense firms in china? >> yes. you will see more coming this was very important bill that we signed. you will see more coming over the next short period of time. we don't want them investing in chinese military companies. reporter: what actions can be taken to insure that does not happen? >> we have a lot of actions we can take including, including the increase. right now people don't know, china is paying a lot of tariffs. we made a china deal, they bought the third highest amount of corn ever in the world history. they just bought from us.

the highest amount. which is great for our farmers. i view it differently before i made the deal. when i made the deal, i thought this was a great deal. after what happened to us, what happened to the world, coming from china, i view it much differently. but we can impose massive tariffs on china if we want. and other countries if we want. and we'll see. we just want to be treated fairly. we want a level playing field. our farmers were never treated properly by anybody. they were targeted by china. i paid our farmers $28 billion over a two year period because they were targeted to that amount of money. to that exact amount of money, 28. it was 16 billion. it was 12 billion, 28 over a two-year period. we gave $28 billion to our farmers. that is why they're all here. now they're doing very well. our farmers are doing very well, because we made really great trade deals. usmca kicked in. the china deal, they're buying a lot. they're buying a lot. we'll say that.

they're buying a lot. a lot of people ask how they're doing on the trade deal? they're buying a lot. i want to thank everybody. we'll be having these conferences. we'll be signing an immigration act very soon. it is going to be based on merit. it is going to be very strong. we're going to work on daca because we want to make people happy. i will tell you even conservative republicans want to see something happen with daca. the democrats had their chance for three years to do something with daca. they always turned it down. they always turned it down. they used it as politics. i'm using it to get something done. we'll be signing a very powerful immigration act. it will be great. it will be merit-based. the countries tried to get it for 25 or 30 years. it will be strong on the border. but you will come in legally. you will be able to come in legally. very importantly, we'll be taking care of people from daca, in a very republican way. a republicans, i have spoken to many republicans. so would like to leave it out.

but really they understand it is the right thing to do. we'll be taking care of daca. we i will be doing for daca what the democrats had a chance to do. they never did it. thank you all very much. elizabeth: that was president trump wrapping up a speech in the rose guarden with taking some questions as well. get right to washington, d.c. edward lawrence has the headlines out of this freewheeling, far-ranging presser the speech the president just gave. edward. reporter: a little meandering too with this, but some real news at the top. before we get to this, i do want to say we've learned, fox news learned ruth bader ginsburg has gone to the hospital. she has been hospitalized according to statement from the u.s. supreme court, she went to the hospital last night in d.c. with chills and a fever. this morning she was transferred to johns hopkins hospital in baltimore. she had a procedure to clean out

a bile duct stent placed last august. she is resting comfortably according to statement. now with the news of the president, president donald trump had big news of the day, started at the very beginning of this, he signed on the last day into law the hong kong autonomy act. that act passed congress with bipartisan support. what it does, it has mandatory sanctions on any person or entity that violates the obligation to hong kong under the agreement with the united kingdom. it goes farther to add secondary sanctions on the banks that do businesses with those people that break the agreement. the president saying that he has not spoken to president xi. also saying that china will not get away with thumbing their nose at deals they have made. listen. >> this law gives my administration powerful new tools to hold responsible the individuals and the entities involved in extinguishing hong kong's freedom. reporter: the president also signed an executive order removing the special classification for hong kong,

their special trade status, that is because of what's happened, the actions, china imposed on them. the president also saying his administration is standing up to china. going on to comparing the last eight years saying that over eight years i should say, president obama dealt with china. joe biden was the vice president, he compared those two. listen to what he says about this. >> for joe biden and president obama, freely allowed china to pillage our factories, plunder our communities and steal our most precious secrets. i've stopped it largely but i have stopped it. reporter: after talking about those differences between he and biden he also talked about the coronavirus, saying increase in cases you're seeing is because of increased testing. you have to look at the deaths that are happening. saying they're flattening off or going down in some cases. they also said they will have a vaccine for this in record speed, pointing to operation

warp speed which is working on that now. liz? elizabeth: edward lawrence, thank you so much. let's welcome georgia democrat vernon jones. he is a state representative out of georgia. he is also a member of black voices for trump 2020. your reaction to the president just now? he really dismantled the biden campaign, that biden is being taken over by the hard left. democrat platform the likes we've never seen before. it has now been radicalized. he basically also saying they want to border patrol, abolish i.c.e., really undercut law enforcement and police. what is your reaction to what the president is just saying just now? >> that is why i'm voting for this president because this president is about results. he made campaign promises, he met those promise, he met those commitments. unlike democrats they want to see the economy fail. they want to see our borders overcrowded without any rules or regulations. they want to see the police attacked. they ban to see protests. they want to defund the police departments and police agencies.

the president is the only law that we have between the democrats and anarchy. so i support this president in protecting the borders. establishing, reestablishing new agreements, trade agreements that are beneficial to this country. at the same time, unlike the previous administration, this president, president trump has stood up to china, has become competitive and let china know we're not going to be taken advantage of like you've done for us in the past. this president has been good about historical black colleges, prison reform, other initiatives elizabeth: he is making news tonight, saying he will revisit daca, saying he will, basically be pretty soon signing off on a new executive action. he will make it more merit-based, which other countries in the world have, canada has it. australia has it. other countries in europe has it as well. i would like to switch gears, sir, democrat elected officials

downplaying violent shootings gone up with double shooting deaths. 19 deaths in new york. one-year-old baby boy locked dead in his stroller in brooklyn. we have mayors of chicago and new york, democrat mayors, downplaying all of this. saying trying to magic it away. magic away crime by blaming shootings on the coronavirus. like you to listen to the father and grandmother of that baby boy shot dead, one-year-old baby shot in his stroller. listen to this. he spoke to fox news contributor lawrence jones. do we have the sound bite, team? we'll cue up the sot. we have it now. listen to the sound bite. >> what a -- this is, you should be ashamed of yourself, everybody talk about black lives matter. what about baby lives?

what about teenager lives? you took an innocent child from a mother and a father as well as the grandparent. i don't think it is fair, you took my son and go to hell. you can go to hell and excuse my expression, but you took something that was precious for me, precious for my son, precious, something precious from his mother. we will never see him, he cannot come back. he cannot wake back up. he was a innocent little baby and he is gone forever. >> the community is getting worse and worse. nobody is doing nothing about it. nobody. nobody is trying to make a change. it is sad to say that. like, every day is just worse. you don't know if you going to live to see the next day. elizabeth: here's the thing. officials take an oath to protect and defend but now people of color and their children are dying in alarming

numbers, sir. your reaction? >> well, here is what's real. the democratic party, look at most of these cities, they're held by democratic leaders. they have, they have literally acquiesced to the far left where they want promote literally anarchy now, no type of structure. no regards for law enforcement. defunding the law enforcement departments when you need to add more funding to need to fight crime. i don't care what color, black, blue and green. more lives have been taken where black lives matter started protests and looting, breaking and this is not just about black lives matter when it matters to black lives matter this is about all lives matter. babies that matter. adults that matter. in atlanta, georgia, we had an 8-year-old baby girl who was murdered on the streets. not by police officers.

not by a white officer. but by black people or allegedly black people. whoever it is. but that baby child was murderedded. let's get to the heart of fighting crime. augment our police departments. give them more resources, high-tech equipment, maybe less lethal as well, for example, like the bolo wrap. there are other types of less lethal force that can be used to fight and combat crime. people want to live in safe neighborhoods. did you hear that mother? she didn't give a damn about black lives matter. she saw that baby girl, her life was taken by criminals, thugs. let's enforce the law. new york will have to get its game together. why the president is saying if these local government agencies, if they don't want to come in and fight crime, president trump wants to bring in resources and troops to take the thugs out one by one into these neighborhoods are safe. that is why many people are going to support president trump because he is a law and order

man but he is fair. elizabeth: okay. georgia state representative vernon jones. thanks so much for joining us, sir. we really appreciate it. >> thank you. elizabeth: up next, jason chaffetz on the new fight breaking out at "the new york times" a-bomb shell from centrist barry weiss. she is a "new york times" opinion editor. she is now quitting. she says "the times" is suppressing differences of opinion and thought. it is a real indictment of management at "the new york times." we're back with that story after the break. stay there. don't just think about where you're headed this summer. think about how you'll get there. and now that you can lease or buy a new lincoln remotely or in person... discovering that feeling has never been more effortless.

♪ elizabeth: "new york times" opinion editor barry weiss today tore into the times for bullying suppression of speech in her scorching resignation letter announcing she is quitting. weiss says "the times" is dominated by far left-wing

idealogues ruining the newspaper. they're bullying and suppressing centrists with those difference of opinion. "the times" is run by a twitter mob mentality. talk about it with fox news contributor jason chaffetz. great to have you on. she said they called her a nazi and racist for being a centrist. your reaction to this. >> this is a scathing letter as you can read. if you want to read going out to a blaze of glory as she exposes with her first-hand knowledge at "new york times" t was about as scathing as it gets. it was not about collective discovery of truth. it was all about fulfilling the agenda some of them had. it is not a true newspaper anymore. the old gray lady as they called the newspaper, it is just not, it is not, it is not the news. it's a glorified newsletter to

radical people on the left. i mean that's really what it's gravitated to. she was brought in 2016 to try to understand and expose why trump was so wildly popular but she was suppressed to the point that she had to leave. elizabeth: you know, weiss said she joined the paper in 2017 after "the times" admitted they missed the fact that trump would win. but "the times," she said basically the coverage begins to bounce back from that mistake to making mistakes in the mueller probe, now trump is a racist, america is a racist. she is warning "the times" is making same mistake not grasping the country they are supposed to cover, poisoning the national debate who america really is. she is warning a quote, an enlightened few decide what the truth is at the time they have predetermined narrative. self-censorship is the norm. twitter mob think is the "times"

ultimate editor. your reaction to that? >> i think that conclusion is evidence to those of us on the outside. here she is an insider. the person actually there day-to-day. she is exposing what so many of us have been concerned about, that "the new york times" has presupposed the destiny or destination, they have presupposed the outcome and then they just write stories to pull fill that prophecy that they have. it is so wrong. it is not, that is not news collection. that is advocacy for the liberal agenda. that is what the "new york times" has gravitated to according to her. not from me as a conservative republican who lives out west. the person who she was brought in to do this, that is what she is writing in her own words and i hope everybody get as chance to go back to read her resignation letter. it is very illuminating. elizabeth: they're running op-eds by the taliban, by top

iranian officials, by nicolas maduro. a civil war broke out the at "the times" after republican tom cotton and protests left two dozen dead. the former opinion editor resigned over that. since then "the times" has been changing headlines after the fact, if they're too pro-trump or too pro-republican. your reaction to that? >> well, what she says is that they just follow twitter. and twitter is the driving force rather than a collection of news. you would think the opinion section of "the new york times" would be a place where you could see contrasting viewpoints. and be able to think through issues. that is not what it is anymore. that case i think of senator cotton, expressing a thoughtful position and having it published which would lead to people resigning and getting in trouble there at "the new york times." i mean that exposes it as much

as anything. elizabeth: all right. jason chaffetz. thanks so much for joining us. really appreciate it. come back soon. >> thank you. elizabeth: next up, ranking house intelligence republican devin nunez joins us to talk about roger stone, the commutation of his sentence and roger stone's claims that the mueller team tried to influence and pressure him to implicate the president in order to get a more lenient sentence for roger stone. that story next. i wish i could shake your hand. granted. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ we do things differently and aother money managers,

♪. >> on july 24th, jeanie ree, heading my prosecution within the mueller team, that is extraordinary in itself because she previously represented hillary clinton and the clinton foundation in the illegal email server case and missing email case. so she had a clear bias. she was a maximum donor to both of hillary's presidential campaigns. she made it very clear to one of my lawyers after a hearing she asked to see him privately, if i would reremember certain phone conversations i had with candidate trump, if i would come clean, if i would confess, that they, that they might be willing to you know, recommend leniency to the judge, perhaps i wouldn't even serve any jail time.

and i didn't have to think about it very long. i said absolutely not. elizabeth: that was roger stone with sean hannity last night, saying that the mueller team tried to pressure him to implicate trump in the trump russia probe for leniency. we have deaf join nunes -- devin nunes from california. what do you think of roger stone? do you think mueller will answer for that? >> well i want to go back to the time where the mueller team began to investigate both roger stone and somebody named jerome corsi. i said at the time that that was where the mueller team had hit rock bottom. there was no evidence that roger stone and jerome corsi knew anything. anybody who knows those guys, they're political gadflies. they have been around politics for many, many years. there is nothing wrong with. that they just made the fatal mistake of getting involved in the trump campaign and then the

fbi, working with the clinton campaign, essentially became corrupt and then targeted these poor guys. so the mueller team knew that there was no evidence of collusion when it was stood up originally. i want to say something about the mueller investigation, mueller testifying before the senate, mueller should be subpoenaed. if i was chairman of the house intelligence committee, that subpoena would have went out a week ago. mueller didn't know what the hell was going on. didn't even know his own report. i will say if he wrote that, he is a miraculous writer for someone didn't know what was in his report a year ago, write something like that to put it within "the washington post," within hours of commutation, it is quite amazing, isn't it? elizabeth: yeah. that is interesting. you know, the critics are saying why did robert mueller and his team investigate this? this is a story we've been reporting. now a court in great britain, documents released in the court hillary clinton knew as early as

july 2016 that her campaign yes, did hire christopher steel to put together that now thoroughly discredited trump russia opposition research. that hillary's campaign and democrats bought to fight the 2016 if she lost. the fbi used it to get fisa wiretaps on the trump team. where does mueller stand on that? >> that is the bigger question here. roger stone, he is going to fight this he may get off whether or not he lied to congress. it was only a commutation. it wasn't a pardon. i want to say so many people that lied including the people that were on mueller's own team, including the fact that you have the lovebirds who started this investigation, who was on the mueller team. mueller never told us, refused to give us the text messages. that whole mueller team should be investigated. i believe they are being investigated. if you at what they have done with general flynn. we have a u.s. attorney out of missouri. that led to the dismissal of the

charges again flynn. i know with have a corrupt judge in that case. looks like maybe we have something similar in this case. jury foreman, who clearly hated trump. i mean how do you have a jury foreman, any american, put yourself in those shows we have a two-tiered justice system in this country. it has got to stop. i plead justices that are democrat. you got to stop. you can't let your party go the socialist ways. you have to rein yourself in. this is madness. elizabeth: when do you expect the john durham criminal probe to come out, final question? >> you know, it is a sprawling investigation that goes from 2015 all the way up until the mueller team in 2018. so look, i want a thorough job done. my hope at least we get the people that are clearly guilty here. that needs to happen before this
