11:03 pm
explosive fireworks, the house judiciary meeting withle ag bar led by jerry nadler kicked it off, he kicked up the hearing and critics say the way he did it turned into a really vicious nasty brawl, let's get to congressional correspondent in washington withh more. >> this was a hearing that was originally scheduled for march but postponed due to the pandemic, back then democrats really wanted to hear from ag barr but the events of the spring and the summer democrats really, really really wanted to hear from ag barr today, it was a cornucopia of questions, origins of the russian investigation, the deployment of federal forces in the u.s. cities, who ordered the clearing of lafayette square and the parting of president trump stone.te rogered >> your tenure has been marked by persistent war against the department professional core in an apparent attempt to secure
11:04 pm
favors for thehe president. under your leadership the department has endangered americans and violated their constitutional rights by flooding federal law enforcement into the streets of american cities against the wishes of the state and local leaders of those cities to forcefully and unconstitutionally suppress the senate. >> ag barr defended how they handled stones case. >> stone was prosecuted under me and i said under along i thought he should go to jail and i thought the judge's sentence was a wreck. but the line prosecutors werero trying to advocate for a sentence that was more than twice anyone else in a similar position that has ever served, this is a 67-year-old man. >> democratic tennessee representative wants the house to impeach bar, they entangle on what went down on lafayette square. >> i learned sometime in the afternoon that the president
11:05 pm
might come out of the white house and later in the afternoon i heard that he might go to the church. >> may be your secre secret pole were poorly trained just like your prison guards were poorly trained and allowed the most notorious inmate in our nations last several years, jeffrey epstein to conveniently commit suicide. >> barr said he doubted the election results would be rigged and he said the president would leave office if it was clear that he lost. liz: thank you so much, staying on the hearing, this is thern first time attorney general william barr testified over the house judiciary, he did not testify during his tenure in the george w.h.o. administration, he is threatened with the subpoena and financially impeachment by democrat chair jerry nadler if he did not testify, but jim jordan said what started the democrat attacksks on ag barr ws when ag barr said a year ago the democrats did buy him a trump
11:06 pm
team, right out of the gate he went on a house democrats and tried to discredit him over the investigations and abuses of power during the obama administration in the michael flynn pro. let's listen. >> it was established by the documents that the fbi agent interviewed him did not believe that he thought he was lying. but thehe council concluded, the only purpose of the interview, the only purpose was to try to catch him insane something that they could then say was a lie. therefore there was not -- the interview was untethered to any legitimate investigation. liz: that is ag barr talking about the michael flynn case, let's welcome house judiciary doug collins. it's great to have you back on, your take on how it all went down? >> it was great, it went down
11:07 pm
this way, democrats talked, talked, talked and did not have any answers, they did not want to have bill barr there because they did not want the answers, this is a pent-up frustration of 18 months of not being able to accomplish anything tangible in a failure of jerry nadler's chairman schiff, they only asked question every time the attorney general answered them they would cut him off, this was a sad showing of what the congress can actually do we could try to get answers but instead it was a continual back and forth of them accusing bill barr of everything as i said in the hearing, i was surprised they did not come out and say he was the author of the common cold because they cried tried to describe everything they thought was bad to him. liz: was attorney general william barr accusing house democrats of attempting to cover up abuses of power during the obama administration trying to go after him by attacking ag barrrr instead?
11:08 pm
>> he tried to relate a reference to run a couple times but let's be honest, that's what the obama, biden the administration did, let's go back to who were talking about in the investigations going on right now with durham. this is peter strzok and jim comey and andreww mccabe and alo joe biden and president obama who in the white house talked about unmaskingf general flynn, these are the kind of people that were under their previous administration but believe me, democrats don't want to talk about that, that undermines their entire line of question, when they got in power they were trained to defeat the president, they don't want to talk about the truth, i disagree with my ranking member and i agree with jim onem everything, i think the biggest problem that they have with bill barr, he tells the truth and he does not backup, that's the thing they hate the most, they told the truth about the mueller investigation and they cannot stand the truth. liz: we have the durham report about to come out in an election three months away, it seems the democrats are rattleded by that, it got so bad they cut off
11:09 pm
attorney general william barr from answering questions as you point out. and jim jordan in the 50 page report that you guys put out saying that the democrats are obsessed with william barr after he said the obama team did spy on the trump team, let's watch this, what went down. >> even though i gave instructions. >> i'm answering your question. >> reclaiming my time. >> the effort there. >> mr. barr i asked for a yesesr no. >> i'm starting to lose my temper. >> you're not taking down public-health orders, we were making and calling attention. >> will you refer my time because this witness is speaking over. >> he went over your time. >> i will get to that. >> mr. barr i will get to that, reclaiming my time you answer the question. >> on june 19. >> actually i need the answer to that question. >> you did answer the question. >> you said under penalty of perjury. >> i'm going to answer the dam question.
11:10 pm
>> are you say no? >> i think what i was referring to, i'd have to see the context of it was the spying>> of documents. >> this statement was not limited to the supply of documents, mr. attorney general, reclaiming my time. liz: your reaction? >> that's an american taxpayer can see what a democratic majority looks like, they want this to continue they can see the field chairman schiff of jerry nadler, vacancy who did not want to answer, they threw nothing to perceive a question but did not want to have it, one thing they stayed away from, completely stayed away from is the peaceful protesters, the writers that are tearing up our cities, and came to a point where i had to ask a question and they said with the democrats on our committee actually think that we should stop them from cattl capital, they did not want to answer that, they wanted to stay away from that. liz: that's where they're at, interesting you just said that,
11:11 pm
i want to reaction to what jim jordan said in his defense to william barr. >> they use the dossier to spy on carter page, the salacious unverified of jim comey's words, not mine, they took it to the fisa court and did not tell them it was paid for, into the guy who wrote it had already communicated to the justice department that he was desperate to stop trump from getting elected, guess what, there were 15 more lies that they told the courted, 17 in total, outlined y the inspector general, each and every one in his 400 page report, guess what, chairman nadler refuses to let mr. horowitz come testify in answer questions about t l the 7 lives the obama administration told to the secret court. liz: is that what is really the issue, the mueller probe, let's
11:12 pm
look at it, 19 lawyers, 40 agents, 2800 subpoenas, $30 million, the fpi got to the wiretap that gets way more information than regular criminal wiretap and they came up withey zeros, they did not he the trump russian case, they did not have the flynn case but they kept going, it was an attempt to delegitimize the trump administration and his four-year term, is that what has the democrats so rattled that they're taking buckshot rifles to ag barr? >> i think it is, just having an awful president, this goes back to covering up, they promise the american people when they won the majority, that the president did all they theseth things wrog that they would be able to do it, what actually happened, they failed every time, mueller did not go the way they wanted, everyone is been a disaster, impeachment show the world how terribly focused the president
11:13 pm
was not the american people, what jim is saying is exactly right, chairman nadler had competency was the chairman, he would actually call the inspector general to testify about this, but realize if they will not do this because that was their entire theory of the case and they are exposed, the democrats have no case but they want to make the american people think that is all about president trump and how bad he's been but they've never proven anything and proven how desperate they are for ideas in this country. liz: congressman doug collins, great to see you, come back so soon. coming up, we will stay on the story, the silence from the democrats, ag barr calling them out on that and their failure to stop riders attacking officers even feeling, using explosives to takedown courthouses, now this, half a dozen democrat mayors are demanding more from that congress write new laws say no, you got to outlaw and be on federal officials coming into cities trying to stop the chaos. you have black voices for trump advisory board member, the mayor of cincinnati can block well with this next.

11:18 pm
oregon. these are riots that you're seeing in portland, oregon, one u.s. marshal said it look like downtown baghdad, that's a direct quote, 18 people killed in riots since they began, attorney general william barr made the administration case for sending and more federal officials potentially 150 more coming to portland, oregon. >> since when is it okay to bring down a federal court, if someone went down to the street, the beautiful courthouse that we have at the bottom of the hill and started breaking windows and firing industrial grade fireworks to start a fire, throw kerosene balloons and start fires in the court, is that ok okay, they do start fires, they start fires if they can get inside through the window and they start fires along the outside of the courthouse.
11:19 pm
when the marshals come out to try to deal with the fire, they are assaulted, the storm trooper from the department of justice came out to 29 marshals in the courthouse, if the state would come in and keep peace on the street in front of the courthouse, we would not need additional people at the courthouse. liz: let welcome black voices for trump advisory, the former of mayor of cincinnati ohio. great to have you back on. your reaction to what it occurred. >> i think attorney general did a great job today, he let them plummet him with mindless obligations, then he raised the fundamental question, the role of government is to protect lives and protect property, what we see in portland is the destruction of property and the creation of unsafe environments on the streets, there is a cry for that sort of show of force
11:20 pm
to protect property and protect people, the attorney general is right, it's been in our experience that a joint operation of fbi and homeland security, atf forces to combat crime you said something early in the broadcast if we don't stop the drip drip drip of crime, we create not only a debilitating environment for your safety forces but we create environments of opportunities for criminals and what we will see is more criminals coming to the cities that are in fact defenseless. this is crazy. liz: three officers blinded may be permanently blind with the use of lasers, judiciary chair jerry nadler, he is saying
11:21 pm
antifa violence in portland is a myth, we had democrat saying these are peaceful protests, we have the mayor of oakland california saying they're not peaceful, they are riots, so you see the push by democrats to say their peaceful, peaceful, peaceful, people on the ground say no they're not, the associated press went in there and watch six u.s. marshals get wounded and injured, they were bleeding, your take? >> we see accord native effort to destroy the root of law and to create chaos, whether it's antifa or other anarchist or criminals, we see this attack on our country and our cities and the choice is ours, do we sit on

thin blue line, all tight was getting thinner by the day, the democrats trying to close them down, defund them, it is incredible to think that they would putat their citizens at tt grave of a risk in there again we see monuments being torn down and were in the throes of what i think i would call the great american purge, the american history purge of 2020 and it's going to ensue and continue, i see that in the democrat areas. liz: republican national committee chair called was going on in oregon deeply frightening, chicago democrats including joe biden for their silence on it,ed watch democrat say what's going on in portland is peaceful. >> i know what is going on in portland is by and large a peaceful protest. but what is being put in front of the american people is way too much of a footage of the fireworks in the shields and tearing down the fence, that's a teeny portion of the people, i
