6:03 pm
to a pandemic this could be one of the most consequential elections in generations. president trump in florida today, heading to north carolina tonight as the race narrows in that state. "politico" says the 2020 election will be won or lost in eight states. the eight states are arizona, florida, georgia, michigan, minnesota, north carolina, pennsylvania and wisconsin but now this. protest groups, far left groups are now warning that they will continue to riot. those riots won't stop. they will continue for the next two months through and during the election even after the election. they targeted nearly two dozen cities across the country, hit with street action this weekend. this is also happening, news coming in, the entire command team for the rochester police department reportedly stepped down amid unrest there. welcome former acting attorney general matthew whitaker back with us. great to have you back on. your thoughts on all of this? >> i know two things. one is that americans want their
6:04 pm
children to be able to play safely in the front yards and they also want to be able to dine, especially outside in this moment of the pandemic safely without being confronted on the street. and you know, we're not, joe biden's america, neither one of those appear to be possible. his supporters clearly trying to disrupt, you know, sort of normal americans going about their everyday. it is concerning. i would expect that, really, candidates on both sides, really americans on all sides, would condemn this. this is, confrontation is not the american way. we settle things diplomatically. we settle things in a silvermaner. when we're seeing across our cities cannot stand. we need law and order. elizabeth: now we're going to have it through the election according to the protest groups. the protests morphed into violent riots. riots leave scars that last for
6:05 pm
decades. communities don't recover for generations. in cities like pittsburgh, rochester, smashing tables, harassing patrons, innocent people including senior sit concerns. 50 rioters arrested storming through portland throwing molotov cocktails at cops. we have 102 nights of riots in portland. how is looting, arson, attacking innocent americans and innocent businesses how does that persuade voters to their point of view? >> i don't think it does. what it actually does, it instills fear and i instills i guess a sense of disorganization but you know, if you look at these cities, they are run by democrats that have, you know, debilitated and handcuffed the police officers. you just mentioned rochester police command that is, not willing to do this anymore. they're not allowed to do their
6:06 pm
jobs. police unfortunately, you know, are not going to participate in, we're seeing that across cities, we're seeing it in just, it cannot stand, liz. we really, americans are crying out. i hear it every day, that they want law and order, that they want their communities safe for their children and, you know, for their grandparents. elizabeth: americans, the polls show americans don't want mobs coming to their communities and destroying their towns. you know, the mayor of rochester is reportedly saying she doesn't know who is in control this is dangerous development in rochester after police as fixating daniel prude. this is, this is what the riots are about there. election officials increasingly blame rioters coming from out of town. the mayor of rochester saying just that. watch this. >> our ability to serve the residents of our city on a daily
6:07 pm
basis depends on the services that our held within that building. we have to protect it. there is credible information that outside agitators want to destroy the psp. elizabeth: so, also this happened in kenosha, sir. the majority of people arrested in riots in kenosha came from 44 cities outside of the state. is this the underlying story that needs to be reported more? that these agitators, anarchists pouring into these cities to do unrest? >> no, it does need to be told, liz. you saw there was a shipment of gas masks and fireworks intercepted on the way to kenosha. outside groups, this mayor identifies in rochester, new york. obviously the heart, the bread basket of this whole movement is in portland where we've seen 100 nights of unrest. this is a loosely organized but
6:08 pm
organized group of antifa and anarchists trying to essentially tear down our cities, to make people feel unsafe, to riot and cause complete anarchy, like you reported. they're going to continue through the election. really it is time to choose. do you want law and order? do you want the governors and mayors to call out the national guard? or do you want to keep seeing in the liberal cities a feckless political leadership unwilling to take control of the streets and to end this anarchy? elizabeth: there, we looked at research out of princeton and harvard and stanford about facism. this is poisonous rhetoric through the rioters ideology. they believe america is a fascist country. historians keep pointing out, these rioters don't have idea to live like a fascist regime. america is not fascist at all
6:09 pm
this poisonous ideology is warping their mentality and what is going on in the streets across the country. on top of this, sir, there is violence there, is chaos and violence happening in u.s. cities. hundreds more. a cop shot to death in the line of duty in st. louis. in chicago, 8-year-old girl shot dead. one of 53 shot in chicago. more chaos in chicago. more people dying a 6-year-old boy shot in the leg among five people in a shooting in brooklyn. people don't want mob violence and chaos in their communities. attorney general barr said reporting on this is flawed and wrong for the american people. the idea this is all peaceful demonstrators is a lie because the peaceful demonstrations are morphing into riots. that is the truth. watch a.g. barr. >> it is happening in front of people. you don't see it on any national news. you don't see it on the networks or see it on the other cable stations yet you hear about
6:10 pm
these peaceful demonstrators. so it is just, it's a lie. the american people are being told a lie about it media. elizabeth: okay. so we also have doj arresting more than 2,000 year-to-date in riots. your reaction to a.g. barr, sir? >> bill barr is absolutely right. anytime you read the chiron which is the bottom of the scroll or identifying what the speaker is saying, cnn, fiery, mostly peaceful demonstrations. these are not peaceful demonstrators. obviously they are using molotov cocktails or exploding fireworks. they are, you know, really trying to enter into confrontations with law enforcement. these are not peaceful protesters. we're a country obviously built on the people's ability to speak out and to protest. once it gets into violent mobs, anarchy, riots being declared on our nation's streets, that is where we've crossed the line and i think, general barr is
6:11 pm
absolutely right. the media is not reporting that by and large across all of the outlets, mainstream newspapers and televisions especially in, i think it is doing the american people a disservice. i know everywhere i go, whether it is iowa, my home tate, whether it is florida, the nation's capitol, i see first-hand, i talk to people, they want law and order. they want their children to be able to play safely in their front yards. we're not seeing that in places like chicago, rochester and portland. these mayors and governors need to get control of these communities. they need to deploy good policing. they need to put people in jail. elizabeth: matthew whitaker, thanks for joining us. come back soon. >> thank you, liz. i always enjoy it. elizabeth: next up, president trump firing back, saying joe biden's brand of d.c. establishment globalism companies hollow out and destroy american communities and take
6:12 pm
american jobs. we've got that. this story, a niece of al qaeda terrorist, 9/11 mastermind of osama bin laden. she now says only president trump can prevent another 9/11. she adamantly said america is not a racist country. we have house ranking republican house oversight james comer to weigh in on all of that and much more. stay right there. president trump: joe biden, radical socialist democrats would immediately collapse the economy. if they got in, they would crash, you have a crash the likes of which you would never seen before.

♪. elizabeth: welcome back. president trump slammed the d.c. establishment, quote, globalism as destroying american communities by taking away american jobs. this as joe biden told a union event that he will be the strongest labor president that union workers ever had. watch president trump here. >> one cold-hearted globalist betrayal after another. that is what it was. biden supported -- elizabeth: let's welcome house oversight reform ranking republican james comer of kentucky back to the show. great to see you, congressman. your reaction to this? >> president trump's right. joe biden is a globalist. he proved that in the eight years of the obama-biden administration.
6:17 pm
they turned their back on american workers. they wanted unilateral trade deals which put american workers at aket competitive disadvantage. over the past three years president trump embrace ad america first trade policy and put america at the forefront and i think it made a difference. elizabeth: move on to this story a separate story. a niece of the al qaeda terrorist and 9/11 mastermind, usama bin laden, noor bin laden. she says only president trump can prevent another 9/11. she is in switzerland, warning that another 9/11 attack is around the corner if joe biden is elected president. your reaction to that. >> she is pretty strong endorsement for donald trump's foreign policy. i mean every knowledgeable person around the world knows that the obama-biden foreign
6:18 pm
policy platform was a disaster. you don't have to look any further than the terrible iran deal where we turned our back on our most important ally, israel. not to mention the trade deals. china gained significant dominance of the trade market, the world trade market under the obama-biden administration. just over the past 3 1/2 years we finally have a president who stepped up. he said enough of this globalism. we're going to put america first. he renegotiated nafta. he has been in the trade war with china to try to hold china accountable for all of the abuses they have with manipulating their currency and i think that what she said is exactly right. if you want to protect, protect america, donald trump is the best person. elizabeth: noor bin laden, she is the niece of osama bin laden. she also criticized the so-called squad of progress
6:19 pm
democrats. that representative ilhan omar that some people did something, ilhan omar's remarks about 9/11 were disgraceful saying quote, it is an honor to be able to go live in the u.s. and make the most out of all the opportunities. you do have a situation now in america where you have people like ilhan omar who actively hates your country and noor bin laden also said part of the reason she rejected liberal assertions that america was a racist country because of her own experience with in america, saying quote, i have had not a single bad experience with americans despite the name i carry. on the contrary i was overwhelmed by america's kindness and understanding to me. your reaction to all of that? >> i agree with her on that point too. i disagree with omar. she said so many anti-american statements, just mind-boggling that nancy pelosi and democrats don't call her out more. i do believe we should be concerned about the squad. they have been winning democrat
6:20 pm
primaries. some progressive candidates have won upset primaries. we'll see the squad grow in numbers over the next election cycle. we should be concerned about them. there is big difference in what this new progressive wing of democratic party believe and republicans in congress and donald trump are campaigning for re-election on. elizabeth: the way to do it, congressman, is to debate, to debate in a rational, reasonable way. don't attack personally. just debate, correct? >> that is absolutely correct but they do just the opposite of that. i think that it is very important what congress was going to do every at next three weeks. very important what we'll see in the next three presidential debates. elizabeth: okay. congressman, great to have you on. come back soon. >> thank you for having me, liz. elizabeth: next up. congressman kelly armstrong from house judiciary, taking on former top fbi official peter strzok, out with a new book.

6:26 pm
russia collusion. this is 2017 peter strzok said this. mueller kept the investigation open until 2019. >> you saw it as the mueller investigation was winding down, they switched from collusion narrative, particularly in the media moved to obstruction. the problem if you have no underlying reason for an investigation, then you can't just continue a case just solely to get to obstruction which they couldn't prove either. i would say this, i know peter strzok's probably looking for a new job but i don't think a political consultant should he go into. i got to witness the trump campaign first-hand at the national convention in 2016 and essentially at that time it was corey lewandoski, kellyanne conway and the trump family and they managed to win a presidential race. i don't know where he thinks they were bumbling idiots, as opposed to running one of the most successful campaigns in history. >> hillary clinton and her
6:27 pm
supporters again, they're now talking a lot about trump refusing to concede. hillary clinton team, hillary said the same thing in 2016. that is when the clinton team helped pay for the steele dossier which clinton was stowing to use to contest to fight against the 2016 election if she lost. somehow the anti-trump research made it into the fbi teams with mccabe, comey and strzok. they were used to get fisa wiretaps on trump's team. strzok downplayed all of that. he knew about the steele's credibility problems according to government declassified documents. your reaction to peter strzok saying there was no perjury trap for general flynn? >> that is not true. i read everything involved? that. by the way, even when they originally interviewed general flynn they didn't think he was lying, even after breaking all the protocol, not telling him he was the subject of an investigation. it was only after the mueller investigation started which by
6:28 pm
the way was made up almost exclusively of hillary clinton cohorts trying to affect the 2016 election. so she wants to know about contesting elections, i'm not sure there is anybody who is better at it but the point of the matter is, no new evidence, no new interviews, they decided to prosecute general flynn after the fbi agents were originally interviewed and said they didn't think he was lying. i don't know if -- don't call it a perjury trap. call it a hatchet job, call it whatever you want but they set the guy up. elizabeth: the government documents say, tried to get him to lie or to admit to breaking the logan act. flynn was not read his miranda rights and he had no defense counsel at fbi briefing. >> they had already offered, go ahead, i'm sorry. elizabeth: go ahead. go ahead. finish your thought. >> they already said they should close the case, only through an error of bureaucratic paperwork did they have an open investigation on the guy at the

time. elizabeth: good point. house intelligence chair adam schiff said on sunday on cnn russians will continue to meddle because president trump is too cowardly to call out russia's president vladmir putin. brookings institution, center left think tank found that president trump was on russia than president barack obama. your thoughts on emails discovered by "judicial watch," emails by fbi officials that show also the nsa, national security agency offered to help adam schiff read secret trump russia documents, fbi helped adam schiff read secret fbi documents before the probe was included. take out the names of politicians, is it right that intelligence officials let a politician read secret documents in the probe of a opposition leader before the probe was ended and go on tv with accusations that had no proof.
6:30 pm
>> that is the biggest problem. you and i talked about this congressman nunes got skewered by adam schiff's cohorts in the media. everything he said was proven right. this is what frustrate me so much. this should terrify anybody who cares about fourth amendment protections, rights of privacy, huge data collection and all of that but because it was done against president trump and they have such a hatred for him that nobody covers this in any other scenario. this would be the biggest scandal in a decade and we simply don't talk about it enough. elizabeth: thank you, congressman. great to see you. come back soon, okay? >> thanks for having me. elizabeth: sure. don't miss our exclusive interview on "the evening edit." senator chuck grassley will be joining us tomorrow night. it is going to be a hot one. he is fired up about everything we've been talking on, about on chasns tomorroomom
