website, lou dobbs shop.com and amazon.com, barnesandnoble.com. follow me on twitter @loudobbs, like me on facebook and. thanks for being with us. good night from sussex. president trump: they feel that is helping them when new york, chicago, portland. you look at oakland and you look at baltimore and you look at some different places and what's going on there, the top 10 are all run by democrats. you go a lot further down the list than 10. in america we will never surrender to mob rule, because if the mob rules, democracy is indeed dead. the reason we're continuing to see violence in left-wing cities today is that liberal politicians, mayors, prosecutors around judges are refusing to enforce the law, putting rioters
6:01 pm
in danger. these are dangerous people. these are killers. they kill a lot of people. they don't even think about it. they wake up the next morning, they don't even think about it. this is the extreme left's agenda for america. they want to appoint radical prosecutors, judges, federal officials who will set criminals free. their stated plan is to cut police funding, abolish cash bail, close down prisons, reeducate our children, preach left-wing social justice, establish a national sanctuary for criminal illegal aliens and abolish the death penalty, even for cop killers. no one will be safe and in fact they want very much to let people in prison, like as an example, the boston bomber. they want to let everybody vote. if you're in prison, if you're the boston bomber, they have want you to have a vote. i don't know. i don't think that sells too well. my administration is a very different approach. we want states to work with us, to deploy the national guard to
6:02 pm
quell the unrest. all they have to do is call us. we will have the national guard, we're prepared. we're ready to go no matter they are from. any part of the country, east coast, west coast, doesn't matter, we're ready to move immediately as we did in minneapolis. we are ready to move as quickly as you can imagine. tomorrow i'm going to a place where we moved very quickly. you know that in wisconsin and we moved very, very quickly. and as soon as we moved that was the end of that. it was very well-behaved. i will appoint more tough on crime prosecutors, supportiver penalties and longer jail terms for rioters and support effective policing methods that are proven to be great crime reducers. when you enforce the law, order follows. we need order. we need, we need order. you can't have cities run like these cities are run.
6:03 pm
they gave a little. then they behave a little. then they gave a little more. all of sudden they have lost these cities but i will get them back very quickly. all they have to do is say please come in. as you know they have to ask, unless we go a much tougher route which we could. you don't like to do that. they have to ask you to come in. when they asked me to come in we'll be there within a matter of minutes. when i signed the executive order outlining 10-year prison sentences as an example for destroying monuments and statues, it immediately stopped. that was three months ago or so. i signed an order and it said 10 years in prison. 10 years if you knock down a statue. it immediately stopped. to the best of my knowledge i haven't seen it happening for about that time. they were going to have a big march on washington. they canceled that march. they said 10 years is too long. before the outbreak of left-wing extremism our strategy produced a historic reduction in violent crime the last two years of the
6:04 pm
obama administration, murder increased 30% in major american cities. we witnessed the largest two year nationwide increase in murder in over half a century. in the first two years of my presidency the number of murders went down significantly. earlier this year we announced that operation legend, surging federal law enforcement to cities plagued by violent crime and we did a lot of it, we did a lot of it very quietly but we did a lot. since the beginning of operation legend, we have conducted more than 1000 arrests and reduced the murder rate in kansas city, which is one of the cities we targeted, by 1/3. got it down 33%. in the last month alone we cut the murder rate in chicago in half. people don't know that but we sent them in to chicago without fanfare at all. we cut it down in half. it is still far too high. if they asked for full help as
6:05 pm
opposed to sending in some very talented people we would be able to cut it down to a very low number. while i am president we will defend the rights of law-abiding citizens. we will honor heroes who keep america safe. we do. we honor our police. we honor our law enforcement. i have the privilege having gotten most, most every law enforcement group in the country that i can think of. the sheriffs in florida, all of them. law enforcement, ohio, texas, north carolina. almost no matter where you look i think i have gotten all of it. we'll have to do a little study so i'm totally accurate but i would say all of it. the ones who didn't, we have to look at them, where do they come from. we've done a real job. we're ready, willing able to help these democrat-run cities are doing poorly. they have to call and ask. they don't even have to put it in writing. we'll put it in writing later. we'll get them in there and
6:06 pm
straighten out the city very quickly whichever city we may be talking about. so those governors that are responsible for a state that has a city that has a lot of problems call me or the american call me and we'll be there very quickly. tomorrow we're making that trip to wisconsin. i think a lot of you are going to be going and it should be very interesting. should be very interesting. we're proud of it because in six days it has been like a different world t took place immediately. as soon as we surged, as soon as we went in, it took place immediately. okay, please, thank you. reporter: mr. president, are you giving any consideration for, did you give any consideration to the governor, mayor's request to come to kenosha this morning? >> no. kenosha something we did a good job on. the governor didn't want us there. he didn't want the national guard as you know. but i give him credit, ultimately he said yes. as soon as he said yes, the problem ended but i have to see the people that did such a good
6:07 pm
job for me. we're meeting with numerous people and we have tremendous support in the state of wisconsin so i promised them when it all gets taken care of. reporter: concerns though that it could exacerbate tensions and increase violence. do you give any consideration to that -- >> well it could also increase enthusiasm and it increase love and respect for our country and that's why i'm going because they did a fantastic job. as soon as i called, and told them let's to, the whole problem stopped. that was what, six days ago. jeff? reporter: mr. president, why are you not meeting with the family of jacob blake while you're there? >> i spoke with the pastor, wonderful man, the family's pastor. i thought it would be better not to do anything where their lawyers are involved. they wanted me to speak but wanted to have lawyers involved. i thought that was inappropriate so i didn't do that. i spoke with the pastor of the
6:08 pm
family, a fine man, a wonderful man. i think we had a great talk. and i may at some point, you know, do that but they did have a lawyer that wanted to be on the phone. i said no. that is inappropriate. i gave them my best regards. i spoke with the pastor. yeah, please. reporter: question on coronavirus you were criticizing joe biden he didn't mention the far left or antifa during his speech today. you wanted to talk about left-wing political violence i notice you didn't in the mention your supporters were in portland, firing paint ball guns. do you want to take a -- what your supporters did. president trump: i understand large number of people as peaceful protest. paint is a defensive mechanism. it is not use of bullets, your supporters, they are your supporters indeed shot a young
6:09 pm
gentleman who, and killed him, not with paint but with a bullet. i think it is disgraceful. these people they protested peacefully. they went in very peacefully. and i'll tell you what they're protesting. they're protesting, when they turn on television or read whatever they may be reading and they see a city like chicago where 78 people were shot and 13 died, or city like new york where the crime rate has gone through the roof or a city like portland where the entire city is ablaze all the time and mayor says we don't want any help from the federal government. when these people turn that on and they see that, they say, this is not our country. this is not our country. that was a peaceful protest, totally. reporter: supporter of yours, mr. president. go ahead. reporter: it was a supporter of yours, mr. president. that was --
6:10 pm
reporter: defend the actions of vigilantes of kyle rittenhouse? reporter: we're looking at that. that was interesting situation. you saw the same tape i saw. he was trying to get away from them i guess, looks like. he fell. then they have violently attacked him. and it was something that we're looking at right now and it is under investigation but i guess he was in very big trouble. he probably would have been killed. but it is under investigation. reporter: do you think private citizens should be taking -- president trump: want law enforcement take care of everything. i think everything should be taken care of by law enforcement. we have to give cops back our dignity, their respect, talented people, strong, tough, can do the job. we don't want to have, somebody makes a mistake, he chokes or in some cases you have bad cops we have to take care of that. in other cases they choke. they have a quarter after
6:11 pm
second, a quarter after second to make a decision. and sometimes they make the wrong decision. if they make the wrong decision you know if they make the wrong decision in the other direction, they're probably dead. so they choke sometimes. and that goes on the evening news for weeks. and the thousands and tens of thousands of great things they do nobody covers that. nobody writes about that. but if they make a mistake and again, the bad cops, everybody agrees we have to be tough on bad cops. sometimes you have a cop or a police person who is a good, a good police person, right, good but they choke. you know the timing and go through this, and they study this and work on it all the time, they literally have a quarter of a second to make some of decisions. they make a wrong decision. it is very devastating but i will say this, i honor law enforcement. we wouldn't be here right now if
6:12 pm
it wasn't for law enforcement. we have to stop this horrible left-wing ideology that seems to be permeating our country an basically it is weakness. it is weakness on behalf of democrat politicians and republicans. we don't have problems. you take a look at our cities. our cities are doing very well. they're safe and secure. i spent a lot of time in texas as you know, just a couple of days ago. i was with the governor of texas, greg abbott. he was explaining they wouldn't put up with it for a minute. they just don't have the kind of problems other people have. thank you very much. [. >> reporter: ers shouting questions] reporter: if you could come back you didn't finish my question. elizabeth: president trump wrapping up his press conference. joe biden did not mention violence, singling out violence by far left rioters during his speech today, if you can't name the problem you can't solve it. the president saying without law
6:13 pm
enforcement we would not have a country. here is the update. 32 now dead nationwide in unrest since may. the president is going to kenosha, wisconsin, tomorrow. joe biden is not yet traveling to kenosha, wisconsin. he is traveling to battleground states after labor day. trump supporter aaron daniel zohn shot dead. a caravan of six vehicles with trump supporters drove through portland and he was shot. the police are investigating the as a homicide. the suspect describes himself as antifa. the mayor, also is the police commissioner. the mayor of portland is also the police commissioner. he is getting criticized blaming trump for inciting unrest when the president and his administration are trying to help and stop, send federal law enforcement to stop what is going on. critics say since 2016 the portland mayor has conducted a
6:14 pm
hands off police presence in the face of unrest. welcome republican congressman greg stuebe of florida. congressman you were listening to what the president was saying just now. what is your reaction to what president trump just said at the presser? >> well my reaction he is 100% correct. you're not seeing this type of violence and these type of actions being taken by antifa and others in cities run by republicans. you're seeing them in cities calling for the defunding of the police departments. you're seeing them in cities that are defunding their police departments and doing away with entire units like we saw in new york city. in my district here in the 17th district of florida, you're not seeing anything like that. if you did the law enforcement here and sheriff's department here would very quickly deal with any violence that would be going on against property or people here. you're seeing this in democratic-led cities. he is absolutely correct and i commend the president for going to kenosha, wisconsin, tomorrow. i think he will be very welcome. the people who support law
6:15 pm
enforcement and support law and order would appreciate a visit by the president. elizabeth: the governor of oregon now surging police into portland to stop the unrest. this is after about three months, 90 straight days of unrest in portland. the suspect allegedly arrested earlier this year, the suspect who shut a trump supporter, he brought a loaded gun to a protest and released. the county d.a. covering the city of portland, announced a new policy, congressman, we'll weaken down and limit the types of charges we can bring against rioters. he will not bring charges interfering with a police officer. portland at the same time watering charges it want bring to stop the rioting. your reaction? >> what do you think will happen when you do that? you're encouraging violence. i saw in virginia they lowered the penalty from a felony to many of attacking or assaulting law enforcement officers. when you start doing those things, what do you think is going to occur? more violence, more unrest.
6:16 pm
you're egging on antifa and others to attack our law enforcement when you're not going to enforce the crime or lessen the crime against law enforcement officers. this is a time where majority of americans who support law and order, support our police and need to stand you, do what we can to support law enforcement in our community. elizabeth: you know, here is the other thing going on, more than 300, president said, more than 1000 arrested. 175 individuals arrested in for the land. more than 100 of them came from 44 cities outside the city of portland. they came from 44 cities outside the state of oregon. ken buck, congressman and senator rand paul wanted the doj to investigate who was funding these rioters. here is other thing going on as well. "the evening edit" we repeatedly had on police and law enforcement individuals throw the book ated bad cops shooting
6:17 pm
black people and allow peaceful protest under the first amendment but you have no right to riot, kill or loot. you have no right to do that. the protests, rioting is not helping. it is ending up now 32 people. your reaction? >> i can't imagine anybody in portland that is a law-abiding citizen that would want to live in an environment where all of this is going on and you have the democratic nominee as vice president actually posting on her twitter page encouraging people to donate to mff, minnesota freedom fund, to actually pay and raise money to bail out the violent rioters some are convicted felons and bail them out. she is raising money to bail out people causing all the havoc. today biden wants to say that he doesn't support violent protests yet his vice president nominee is raising money to bail these people out of jail. elizabeth: the president said 13
6:18 pm
members of the biden team also are donating. check the reports. that seems to be the case. this, portland protesters are accused of celebrating after the trump supporter was shot. watch the protester on a megaphone getting applaud and cheers. she has not said a innocent person was shot dead in for the land. watch a protester, wants to put police in a gave yard. watch this. >> without the police. we can -- [inaudible] i am not sad that a [bleep] fascist died tonight. [cheering] >> i'm ready to the point putting these police in a grave. [bleep]. i am the at point where i want to burn the white house down. elizabeth: okay. so, law enforcement, also we talked to democrats too. democrats and individuals say
6:19 pm
that you continue to let this go on, people start to enjoy it. they start to revel in it. that needed to be stopped at the outset. now more than, nearly three dozen people dead in unrest since may. your reaction? >> i, just encouragable the type of things going on in our country. i say every american out there, if you're not registered to vote, register to vote. if you don't believe and support the type of violent activities going on, go out vote for trump in november, insure we take back the house and insure this type of activity doesn't occur in our america, our states and our communities. elizabeth: to kyle rittenhouse, he is accused homicide charges. his attorney says he was acting in self-defense. he is being called a virg lant tee. there is, you -- vigilante. the protesters are saying militias are moving in to take us on. what is your reaction to the
6:20 pm
attorney saying no, he is not a vigilante. he was defending, basically attacked. he acted in self-defense. he was moving to protect a store that was about to be burned down by rioters? this is very delicate case. what is your reaction to this? >> certainly i question why an individual like that would be armed and then go into an environment that he knows is going to be tense and violent and those type of activities going on but i watched the video like everybody else did. i watched new video that came out today and it is very clear to me that he certainly defending himself from the people that are chasing after him, throwing things at him, trying to attack him. so certainly from the video i saw that appears to be the fact that he is defending himself but obviously this investigation is ongoing. i'm not going to make a call until all the facts and evidence are before the american people and before a jury that will decide this case. from the video i saw clearly he was reacting to people that were attacking and assaulting him.
6:21 pm
elizabeth: well that's the answer people are looking for when it comes to peace and unity. it is not mob rule deciding the law in the streets. it is a reasonable discussion of the facts and circumstance of what is going on, right, congressman? >> yeah. this is, i mean steny hoyer not too long ago before we knew anything about the shooting in wisconsin, sent out a press release condeming the actions of law enforcement. then we find out he resisted arrest. they were we find out he was tased. then we find out, he had law enforcement officers in a headlock. they were we find out he had a knife in the car. so why are you making assertions supporting criminals, from criminal activity that are attacking our police officers before you even know the facts. find out to investigate what actually occurred. we can make our decisions. if it was a law enforcement officer who acted outside of his purview and training and protocol, there is a court of justice that will deal with that. elizabeth: congressman, thank you so much for joining us.
6:22 pm
it is good to see you again. come back soon. >> thanks for having me. elizabeth: coming up we're staying on news that broke today. appeals court denying general michael flynn and justice department to indthe case, the fight, the push to basically say that listen, this court, and the judge emmet sullivan is not listening to the abuses of power under the obama administration when it came to the case of general michael flynn. look who is with us, deputy national security advisor kt mcfarland. she is ready to go and fired up on this story. stay right there.

6:26 pm
♪. elizabeth: okay. the d.c. court of appeals today ruled against president trump's former national security advisor michael flynn and the justice department in the push to immediately dismiss the criminal case against general flynn. now it is being sent back to district court judge emmet sullivan. the decision keeps the case alive, despite the fact that the attorney general and the doj filed a motion to drop the case against flynn after the fbi found they did not have a case against the general. that was back in 2017. let's bring in kt mcfarland, former trump national security advisor. kt, author of the book, "revolution, trump, washington and we the people."
6:27 pm
kt, your reaction to today's court decision and should the president consider pardoning general flynn? >> you know i talk about this a lot in my book and it is just a continued persecution of general flynn and what the washington swamp is trying to do, they want to kick this into the next administration. they're convinced president trump is going to lose, joe biden will win, they can really not just prosecute, persecute, they can crucify general flynn. that is what they're up to? what should president trump do, let's wait and find out what the durham report comes up with. maybe what they will find in fact there was never a crime committed by general flynn. maybe what they will find out is that the crimes were committed by the senior officials of the intelligence community. should president trump pardon general flynn? yeah, but how about if we just find general flynn innocent of all charges? that is what i would like to see. elizabeth: let me back up, what the declassified documents
6:28 pm
shows, you and i have talked about this, i want to walk the viewers through it again, that when the russian ambassador got on the flown with general flynn, there was unmasking requests by the obama administration to listen to the phone call. that then fbi director james comey said that the phone call appears legitimate. then president obama says to james comey, put the right people on it. they opened back, they already opened back up the case against michael flynn. they were moving to shut it. there was nothing against flynn. the fbi moved to do a perjury trap to general flynn to get him to lie on the record. also, no miranda warning, no defense counsel. they used a briefing turned it into a criminal interview of flynn without telling him. those are the obama administration abuses. your reaction? >> same thing they tried to do to me and other people. you don't need a lawyer. you're not a subject of an investigation. you're just a fact witness t was
6:29 pm
all about trying to get you to, they trick you. they can say ah-ha. that is perjury, you committed perjury, lied, you should have known the right answer, you can't remember, we don't believe you can't remember. you're obviously lying to us. there is no underlying crime. general flynn did nothing wrong. he did everything right. he should talk to the russian ambassador. yes, the intelligence community, the senior officials of the obama administration, they wanted to get him. why? because i think that general flynn, because we talked about it, he was going to reform the intelligence community. he was going to find where the bodies were buried. they didn't want him to see that. because they knew general flynn would find out what they had been up to. liz, here is the interesting thing. i think it is worth pointing out to your listeners, is that when the intelligence community wants to do something, they leak to their favorite reporters. it is fake news. they leak it to therapy favorite
6:30 pm
reporters. the favorite reporters print the fake news. they were the senior intelligence officials or members of congress, they point to the fake news story around they say, ah-ha, here is proof. we have to investigate this. so their leaks made possible these fake investigations and that is how they got general flynn. and if they can do that to general flynn, they can do that to me, they have can do it to anybody. elizabeth: yeah. they could do it to the viewers. senator chuck grassley said the same thing. you know i covered the irs for two decades. i testified twice before congress on irs reform. you were guilty until proven innocent in front of the irs. the irs can empty out your checking account if they perceive a violation. that you are innocent that a investigation is tan at that mount to a conviction. that the fbi can get powerful wiretaps meant for terrorists to do two-hop listening not just you, who you talk to and those people you talk to talk to.
6:31 pm
they look at your bank records. they look what you watch on the internet. they read real time your text messages. those are abuses of power they don't want a big government politician taking control of the government. levers of power gotten even more massive since 9/11, kt, in terms of spying and powers given to the federal government. your reaction? >> yeah. after september 11th we gave them enormous powers because we wanted them to protect us against terrorists, mass manufactured earliers, mafia dons, the intelligence community, senior officials in the trump administration and obama administration, they used the powers to go after the political adversaries. at the end of the day even if they find you guilty of nothing, even though you are not falling into their perjury trap, even though they can't break you, you know what they can do, they can bankrupt you. that is what they have done to general flynn. they bankrupt you because at the end of the day you have to pay for all the lawyers fees. they have infinite eresources at
6:32 pm
their command. elizabeth: kt mcfarland. will you come back soon? >> i hope so. it's a good story, liz. you're right on it. elizabeth: we'll have you back. we'll stay on it. thank you, kt, so much. look at this story, spacex celebrating the newest successful launch, the falcon 9 rocket carrying satellites for the north and south poles. they blasted into space overnight. this is the first polar orbit launch from florida in decades. now the launch did catch some people off-guard. people who live nearby they were startled by a sonic boom. that noise was caused by the rocket booster landing on the launchpad. that is different type of news. up next, director of intelligence john ratcliffe telling maria bartiromo more declassified documents are coming that could impact the criminal investigation of trump-russia probe, defending his hitting pause button on individual security briefings for congress, blaming congress

6:38 pm
illegal leaks of classified information to the media, maybe by members of congress. this after dni ratcliff announcing his office will put on pause in-person individual briefings to congress about security threats to the 2020 elections. they will still get reports. the committees will still be debriefed. we have matthew whitaker. your thoughts, sir? kt mcfarland says the leaks are really getting out of control and they're criminal. what do you think? >> liz, first of all, glad to be with you, tonight. what i think john ratcliffe is telling us something very important, and that is, there are members of both the intelligence community and possibly members of congress that are criminal leakers and this is not only un-american but it is really disgusting. these intelligence leaks that really don't allow the federal government to function the way it should. that it is done instead of to improve legislation, improve our
6:39 pm
republic, it is used to damage individuals politically, especially the president of the united states. so i think, i'm happy to hear that these referrals have been made for investigation and i'm, i hope that we can hold people accountable and prosecute some folks for leaking classified information. elizabeth: democrats nancy pelosi and adam schiff say they are outraged by the pause on the briefings, the individual personal briefings by dni ratcliff to them and their staff. they are still going to get information at the committee level. they will get written reports. you know dni ratcliff is saying, correct me if i'm wrong, that about a month or so ago he did do a briefing. leaks did come out of congress to the media, that russia is now the most important threat to the national security of the u.s. when the intelligence community is saying no, it is china. your reaction to that?
6:40 pm
>> well, this is what happens in these, these oral briefings is that, that information is then taken and leaked by members of congress. you know adam schiff sounds like is a prime example of this leaking and i think, what we need to know is that we have many countries, iran, russia, china are all trying to interfere with the upcoming presidential election and, but what we do know is that china is most likely to invest the most amount of resources on behalf of and support of joe biden. this is what is really concerning is, i think all americans should take all information that they receive, especially on social media and compare it to the actual facts on the ground and their experience as americans. i think, it is absolutely true that these in-person oral briefings need to discontinue until congress agrees to stop leaking, you know, half-truths
6:41 pm
and misinformation. elizabeth: you just pointed out that adam schiff leaks to the media. we've been hearing for some time he and his committee leaked to the media in order to manipulate the narrative in the media for their own political purposes. that is what dni ratcliff wants to stop. you pointed that out. senator ron johnson would agree with you. he is saying what is going on is wrong. hear what senator ron johnson said. >> the committee on foreign relations we head three hearings the way russia is trying to destablize election systems around the world. >> i know. i want to get to that. >> because they were aided and abetted like people like adam schiff and. >> hold on. >> what adam schiff did with the false narrative. what media did with false russia collusion campaign narrative. career investigation, special counsels destablized our politics. how media and democrats have taken that and basically that
6:42 pm
is -- elizabeth: okay. it is both about the media and constitution. your reaction to cnn dana bash and ron johnson. >> this is the problem, cnn, business mash are unwilling to ad what they participated in over two years, which was this misinformation. there is no doubt that russia attempted to interfere with our election in 2016. that has been well-documented. what is not true and what cnn and adam schiff and others in the media tried to continue was this idea of russian collusion between the trump campaign and the russian government which there was never any evidence of, and for two years including the mueller investigation which i supervised, you know, it was a national nightmare. it was very disruptive to our, not only our nation as a whole but to the administration for the first two years that it was in place. elizabeth: they found no

welcome fox news contributor, black voices for trump advisory board member, deneen borelli is back with us. great to see you, deneen. your reaction? >> hey, liz. well, it is just absolutely breath taking that after months of rioting and looting and violence and senseless deaths we've seen and destruction of property and all kinds of other chaos, that joe biden and his campaign have decided to make a comment and it is only because he is getting dinged in the polls which is really sickening and outrageous in my perspective, liz. because they don't care about american citizens. they don't care about small business owners who have watched their buildings, their life's work get burned down to the ground. they don't care about the violence. they're only responding to the polls. i think that speaks volumes. elizabeth: that is the criticism because cnn was bringing up the polls a couple weeks ago.
6:49 pm
then, biden camp started to move. joe biden did put out a statement after george floyd's shooting but it was seen as not forceful enough. i want to move on to this. we've got michael moore now basically saying that support for trump is off the charts. marianne williamson is saying that, she is former democrat presidential candidate, that biden's policies are effectively weak. we have got former democrat mayor san francisco, former kamala harris advisor saying, democrats stop calling these protests and demonstrations burning and looting will help reelect donald trump. you know, here is the other thing, al word, kamala harris wrote a book came out in 2009, saying we do need more cops on the beat. makes poorer neighborhoods safer. now she supports idea moving funds away from the cops. your reaction to all of that?
6:50 pm
>> it is interesting to watch the left eat their own now. you mentioned michael floor was complaining. they dragged biden out of his basement today, appeared in pittsburgh. made a few comments. he didn't take any questions at all. he was leaving the podium before even finished talking. he didn't want to talk to anybody. biden is a weak candidate. his policies are weak and harmful for the country. we're talking higher taxes, green new deal. which is a job killer. all of these policies they're pushing on america and hard-working americans, it is not going to be good for the economy, it is not going to be good for hard-borning americans. this is where they're at. socialist ideas and policies americans are not excited about. that dnc convention, they rolled out the obamas and clintons. that didn't do anything for joe biden. so we'll see how it plays out but the clock is ticking. there is a lot of excitement and momentum on president trump's side. so we'll see.

♪. elizabeth: okay, a major case with u.s customs & border protection officials. they reported that they now caught and stopped, look at this, more than 160 human smuggling stash house operation. they're called stash house operations this fiscal year, just in southern texas. in south texas alone, they rescued over 1600 people. now this provide as really rare glimpse what is going on through drug cartels and human trafficking stash houses at the border. joining me now, top border guy, retired i.c.e. acting director tom homan. here is the story that we cover the bored heavily. they subjected these individuals to forced sex, labor, indentured servitude, right? these are human traffickers,
6:56 pm
right? >> yes. that is not only human trafficking it is actually sex trafficking. all plays a part. forced labor, forced servitude, domestic servitude. that is definition of human trafficking,. elizabeth: hundreds of thousands of pounds of illegal drugs are carried by the human traffickers, put on these people to smuggle across the border too, right? is that what's going on? >> oh, absolutely. couple things going on. since illegal immigration on the border is down quite a bit from last year because of action of president trump. border patrol is more vigilant. rather than taking care of family units they took care of last year, they can spend more time. they will identify more trafficking rings. they are able to investigate these things. they are able to find more of these cartels operating. so have tremendous impact on them. elizabeth: yeah. so that is the point, that is an important point you just made.
6:57 pm
when you basically fix the border and push people where they should go to ports of entry, if they want to be a aisleees. you can't step across the border in europe or mexico, canada. what you said is important. now federal officials and law enforcement can focus on serious crime. look at this story, 39 children in georgia, part of operation not forgotten, many of them rescued from sex traffickers, range from three years old to 1 years old. 15 again were sex traffickers. 26 additional children were rescued and, in this two week operation in atlanta, georgia. we've got more than 400,000 children missing across the country. these are the stories we want to get to. we know majority of them are runaways. still we got child exploitation in this country. when you get these individuals
6:58 pm
and good guys in law enforcement focus on case, you find people like children. your reaction? >> this is important point yet you made. for people like joe biden, kamala harris, rest of them that want to abolish i.c.e., they want to abolish an agency that rescued just under 1000 children from section traffickers and predators. they arrested 700 women from sex trafficking. they arrested 1000 sex traffickers from pornography. that is the agency they want to abolish. section trafficking, human trafficking is a huge issue. hsi, homeland security investigation a division of i.c.e., they lead over 124 task forces. they are successful operation. they have had great success. this is the agency that joe biden wants to abolish. elizabeth: how many women were rescued, how many women were rescued did i you just say? >> over 700, over 700 women were
6:59 pm
rescued. nearly 1000 children rescued from predators. elizabeth: from human trafficking. that is last fiscal year alone? >> last fiscal year, absolutely. this year's numbers are not out yet. elizabeth: go ahead. finish your thought. >> last fiscal year's numbers. we expect this year's numbers to be higher. that is the point i make. they want to abolish an agency that does outstanding work and saves so many people from of course interesting. i.c.e. seized a over a million pounds of narcotics in this country. they have seized more opioid than they have in the history of the agency. this is agency that protects the american people. they are doing a great job. last thing you want to do is abolish them for political reasons. elizabeth: tom, we love having you on. you're like an encyclopedia in your head. we ask a question you have the
7:00 pm
data. come back soon? >> anytime. i love being on the show. i appreciate it. elizabeth: we love having you on. i'm elizabeth macdonald. you've been watching "the evening edit." join us tomorrow night. we hope you have a good evening. ♪ ♪ ♪ lou: good evening, everybody. president trump today holding a meeting on law and order in democrat-run cities facing runaway violence, meeting with his top law enforcement heads at the white house. in that meeting attorney general william barr and dhs secretary chad wolf, planning to stop further violence. the meeting follows another weekend of anarchy and violence across much of the country. police in chicago reporting 54 people shot, 10 of them were killed. two police officers and a teen
