"the evening edit" starts right now. ♪ ♪

elizabeth: welcome to the show. you're watching the fox business network. president trump and joe biden duking it out in minnesota today. it is beginning early voting. the trump campaign has its eyes on flipping the gopher state. it's a state he lost to hillary clinton by just under 45,000 votes. let's bring in trump 2020 black voices for trump, she is the official there, she's stacy washington. of stacy, it's great to have you on the show. your take as both trump and bind now targeting blue collar and middle class voters in the iron range, your reaction to the fight going on in minnesota right now. >> well, i think president trump is unique lu positioned after closing the gap that mitt romney had down to just 1.5%. he's actually got a huge chance, and he's been on the ground there numerous times before today. in contrast to that, liz, this is joe biden's first trip there, and i think -- in, i think, a

thousand days, so he's got a lot of catching up to do. meanwhile, a lot on the ground that's changed in the way of how people are thinking about who they want to vote for since 2016. mainly the riots. so i think our game is strong. the public polling shows a 10% gap, 10-point gap. but we actually have internal polling that looks much better for us, but the best polling or communication i've seen that proves that we're winning in these battleground states is things that have been said by people like don lemon and nancy pelosi and, of course, joe biden himself. they're all now condemning the riots. after 90 days of sustained mayhem, they finally decided that the polling is not going in the right direction, and they want to say something about it. president trump has been strong on law and order from day one. elizabeth: you know, you're making important points. let's take the first one. the media is growing increasingly concerned joe biden does not have a ground game in the battleground states. much of biden's campaign is digital, on the internet in places like michigan.

chuck todd of msnbc warning about that, michael moore, the filmmaker, saying where is he? they don't see biden in the battleground states. that's pretty surprising. your reaction? >> well, i mean, it is surprising, but when i see people who are hard core leftists like michael moore calling out democrats for what they see as deficiencies in the campaign, i immediately look to see what the president is doing in comparison. we have 17 of these black voices for trump community centers that are open across the country. we're door knocking every weekend, we have reached and touched well over a million voters the entire trump victory campaign, and i'm talking about door knocking. that's face the face until contact. we're not afraid to shake people's hands and ask them to vote for president trump because he's actually trying to win their votes rather than feeling entitled to them. elizabeth: let's talk about the riots and violence which certainly took hold in minnesota and in minneapolis. a growing number of states nationwide seeing crime and

violence. we're tracking more than 300 federal arrests right now, 637 riots. let's look at the data, we're going to show it. we're now tracking nearly 13,000 demonstrations in all 50 states. you know, we're seeing things like in minneapolis, for example, the city council this is now demanding answers from the minneapolis cops asking or where are you, we don't see you out there on crime, but they tried to push defund cops. they're trying to do that and over a hundred officers have left. that's double the usual count. what's going on here, stacy? what do you think? >> liz, this kind of burns me up a little bit, because i no e there are plenty of people living in that city who are absolutely innocent of all of this, apolitical or certainly haven't expected to experience the kind of mayhem they've had to endure. we're talking about -- it's been a process, a timeline, liz. we're talking about, first, the city council there defunds the police. then the police pull back, they've been defunded, a lot of them are retiring, they're suffering through ptsd, and

they're in danger of losing not just their livelihoods, but their personal fortunes because they're being treated like criminals for defending themselves. after that you have street racing, liz, you are arson -- you have arson, you have i assault, and you have more people shot there in this month, september, than all of 2020. so people there are asking where are the police, and now the is city counselors who are actually defunded the police are asking where they are, and they're doing what they've been told to do. they've been told to stand down, step back, let these people have room to destroy, and now that the fruit of that is coming out, people want to ask where they are? i think it's just crazy. they're deflecting their responsibilities. they did this, the city council, and they should be voted out. elizabeth: you know, stacy, we had a video of a woman in minneapolis so scared, she has helicopters going over her house at night, she's hearing gunshots that she's never heard before in

minneapolis, she's sleeping with her children in her bedroom. we had bernie kerik, former nypd commissioner, saying, yeah, that's what moms and dads do. it's scary for people out there. but, you know, you hear the line coming out of the rioters and protesters, this is reparation that the small businesses, many owned by minorities, they can afford it. their insurance will cover it. your take on that? >> well, i happen to know, i have friends or who are small business owners, and and if you have insurance, often your commercial insurance doesn't cover acts of god or rioting. so rioting is not automatically covered by your insurance policy, so the assumption that they can just, you know, file a claim and get everything paid for also doesn't take into account, liz, that a business that isn't opened isn't earning an income, but you still have to pay your mortgage or your rent. these people are actually having their entire lives destroyed by rioters who claim to be doing

this on behalf of george floyd or blacks being shot unjustly by the police. this isn't about that anymore. i'm so sick of democrats taking election year politics to the extreme and using black people at the cudgel that they hit white voters over the head with and say you have to vote for democrats. we are not an election issue item that you can just use and abuse and toss away after the election. these riots and this violence, it's not about black people, about black men being shot. it has zero to do with protecting anyone from any type of violence, and it has everything to do with trying to keep president trump from being reelected. elizabeth: that's interesting, what you're saying. taste i city, we're also seeing on the other side of this story san antonio increasing the funding for cops despite demands from activists to cut spending on cops. and hundreds in chicago gathered for a back the blue rally in support of the police this week. your take on that. >> so, liz, i know across the

country, so my father was in law enforcement, two careers in law enforcement. one active duty in the army, and i've got to tell you, i've never seen the kind of animus toward the police as we're experiencing right now in america, but i've also seen where me and my kids make it a point to go up to police officers when we see them in public and tell them that we are praying for them, ask them if they want to pray right there on the spot at the gas station. you know, when you're talking to them and saying, look, we support you. and a lot of americans feel that way. so the loudest voices are out front saying all horrible things about police officers, but there are so many millions of us who are praying for them and want them to continue to do this good work that they've been called to do, because it's a calling to be a police officer. and so there are bad apples, and president trump has signed an executive order that provides for reforms at the federal level that any local jurisdiction can mimic and put into practice, but the issue that we're having right now is that we need to have a candid conversation about what being an american really means and what supporting law

enforcement really means as opposed to all of this discussion about a race and inconsequential issues that really don't have anything to do with what real americans care about. elizabeth: stacy washington, you're great. will you come back soon? it's great to have you on. >> anytime you want me. [laughter] thanks, liz. elizabeth: okay, sure. you have a good weekend, okay? stacy washington there. coming up, the presidential debate's just a week away, cnn facing criticism for a town hall last night that was filled with softball questions going too soft on joe biden.

republicans. and before you say, well, that's just dumb luck, you know? biden just called or anderson cooper just happened to call on random people in the crowd, no, the network decides beforehand who asks the question and what the questions are. and if cnn is truly an objective network, they would have done simple math which is why don't we have 8 republicans ask questions and 8 democrats ask questions. that's the whole story, elizabeth, this was a fixed fight. elizabeth: yeah. you know, there was no pushback on, you know, biden's $4 trillion plan, $4 trillion in tax hikes. he said the president was responsible for all, for all covid-19 deaths. really? what about pre-existing conditions? he says, you know, china is just a competitor when the fbi director, christopher wray, just testified the same day that china is stealing our covid-19 vaccine research and testing technology. and there's no pushback on all of that and much more.

your take on that. >> anderson cooper actually, and he was the moderator last night, actually moderated a presidential debate just four years ago, the second presidential debate, and here he is on this stage, and as you said, not once pushing back on joe biden as a good journalist does or fact checks in any way as a good journalist does. joe biden also lied and said that president trump had not mentioned during his state of the union address in early february anything about the coronavirus. yeah, he did. meanwhile, joe biden could have been asked a question like, hey, during those three primary debates in february that went on for two hours, you didn't mention coronavirus once or super tuesday in march, big night for joe biden, 12 minute acceptance speech, didn't mention coronavirus once. yet joe biden is saying if the president did his job, there would have been no deaths from coronavirus which is a ridiculous statement because i guess that means the 175 other countries that have leaders are also responsible for every death that happened in their country. yeah, this was a bad night for

cnn, and it shows you why during these debates in 20 for the first time -- 2020 cnn will not have somebody moderating the debates. there's a reason why, they simply don't have any objective journalists left there anymore, elizabeth. elizabeth: well, now there's a fear that biden may not be ready to take on trump at the debates. you know, here's the other thing, anderson cooper downplayed a biden flip-flop saying, quote, it sounds like to some you were trying to have it both ways on fracking. critics say it doesn't just sound, quote, like sounds to some. watch him flip-flopping on fracking. watch. >> would there be any place for fossil newels, including -- fuels, including coal and fracking in the biden administration? >> no. we would work it out. we would make sure it's eliminated and no more subsidies for any one of those. >> anybody who can go down 300-3,000 feet in a mine sure as well can learn how to program as

well. give me a break. anybody that can throw coal into a furnace can learn how to program for god's salk. salk -- sake. >> i'm talking about stopping fracking as soon as we possibly can -- >> so am i. >> well, i'm not sure your proposal does that. >> no more, no new fracking. elizabeth: okay. here's the question you would ask a candidate. are you saying no to fracking early on because you want to raise money from the green energy groups, and then you're flip-flopping because you know stopping fracking will slam voters jobs when you hit the campaign trail, that's why you flip-flopped. that's the question, right? >> that's what tim russert, who i had tremendous respect for, would do. you read back the candidate's own words. those words you just played with bernie sanders was march 15th, no new fracking. july 9th he says also fracking

is not going to be on the chopping block. then september 1st he says, let me say that again, i am not banning fracking no matter how many times donald trump lies about me. then just yesterday he says fracking has to continue because we need a transition. oh, okay. no, you need votes in pennsylvania because if joe biden loses pennsylvania, probably a good chance -- because that's basically his home state -- that he's not going to win the election. this is all about flip-flopping, saying one thing during the primaries to appeal to the far left and then something very different during the general because he's trying to pivot back to the center, and if we had a media that would actually call him out on these things, that would have been exepossed on national television. i would hope that chris wallace during those debates now only 12 days from now in cleveland, joe biden will not be able to get away with what he did last night during that cnn drive-in town hall. elizabeth: joe concha, it's great to have you on. will you come back soon? >> absolutely. happy hour time, elizabeth. it's the weekend, bye bye. elizabeth: okay.

mmbc, one of his biggest donors, getting preferential treatment at the same time as his son hunter biden is getting paid as a consultant from that company. and today in the news over the past year at the same time as his impeachment, as well as other distractions, we've seen all of this evidence regarding burisma, major payments that hunter biden has accrued from chinese plutocrats and from the ukraine, and yet these stories seem to kind of die with a thud. and the most recent news from john solomon shows that the number of transactions involving hunter biden and foreign parties, apparently, were flagged with by our finance watchdogs and given to the senate for review, and nothing happened. and so i certainly hope that the campaign and the media are going to keep the pressure on joe biden, because i think you can tell that after 47 years in office and this type of pay to play behavior surrounding him and his family throughout, you certainly can't expect anything

different if he's the president of the united states. elizabeth: george kent, a state department official, testified during impeachment that he warned joe biden about what was going on with hunter, and he was rebuffed. in other words, the story is that hunter was tagging along for years while his father was vice president to do deals in china, ukraine and russia, and this is when joe biden was the obama administration foreign policy point person. ric grenell told us what he heard. let's listen. >> i worked at the state department for 11 years, i know many foreign service officers, i know many career individuals at the state department. they were horrified at what hunter biden was doing while his father was vice president. he utilized the state department international contacts, embassies, and people were just embarrassed and horrified at what he was doing. this has never been looked into.

he's never had scrutiny from the media, and it deserves this. elizabeth: you know, harmeet, you point out what happened in the early 2000s when hunter biden was a paid consultant for mbna when senator biden was fighting for lice r legislation to make it -- legislation to make it harder for consumers. what do you think? >> well, absolutely. at that time when biden was a senator, mbna was his biggest contributor by far with over $200,000 over the various times that he has run for office. and at the same time, his son was either an employee or later a consultant getting paid significant fees. what is his son's expertise for any of these jobs, being on the board of burisma, being a partner with a chinese investment firm, being a consultant to a major bank? he literally has no experience that would be relevant to make

anybody pay him big cash other than his ties to his father. there are similar scandals surrounding joe biden's brother as well. this type of pay to play can be very common in corrupt foreign nations. it's not acceptable in america. it actually violates many laws. but those recent revelations about the transactions that have been flagged over the past year or two that have been sent to the senate for review are even more serious. you know, we have these types of regulations -- elizabeth: yeah, let's dig into that. >> but also terrorism. ever since the patriot act, all of these types of transactions with foreign parties, not just the ones over 10,000 that you read about, but all kinds of transactions can be flagged and be us pix, and when they rise to that level that they're serious enough to be a national security question and the senate intelligence committees get that information, what do they do with it? by the way, i admit it's been republican senators in charge for the past couple of years,

what did they do with that information? where did it go? here we are less than two months away from this election. it's important that, regardless of the outcome of this election, this type of corrupt-appearing conduct be investigated fully and punished if appropriate. we don't see that happening. to the contrary, we see democrats saying, oh, if you investigate hunter biden, you're actually interfering with the election. not so. it's important to get to the bottom of it, and if the obama white house hadn't been so focused over the years and at the end there in the transition the time on nailing this president or this incoming president, they might have done their job as well, but they didn't. they were very focused somewhere else. the same thing happened with impeachment. people have not been doing their jobs on these issues for more than four years now, so it's time to put that right. elizabeth: let's talk about what reporter john solomon is talking about, the treasury department agency, fin-cen, it polices financial threats like money laundering. it flagged several foreign

transactions to hunter biden-connected businesses as, quote, suspicious during the end of the obama administration. latvia warned ukraine about money coming out of burisma into accounts connected to hunter biden. burisma paying millions of dollars to the new york investment account tied to hunter biden. so that's what john solomon is reporting. your take -- so this looks like it's the tip of the iceberg stuff. your final wordsome -- word? >> well, we know very little about this, thanks to john solomon's good reporting and his sources, that revealed the senate committee that's a had this information for about a year, and they are supposedly about to issue a report. you know, i'm fed up personally as these senate committees are about to issue reports when they've had this information for a long time, it's sensitive information. we don't know the details. we know it was serious enough that our government is questioning some of these transactions, and money laundering can take so many different forms. we know that china's engaging in

this type of behavior with a lot of corporate transactions in america, apparently other countries are as well. so i'd like to know the answers, and i'd like somebody to ask hunter biden those questions. i don't know those questions are being asked, as richard grenell said. elizabeth: harmeet dhillon, come back soon. >> thank you. elizabeth: okay. now coming up next, white house covid-199 task force member dr. scott atlas on the fight in nashville. what happened in nashville with the administration of the mayor's office there accused of suppressing positive covid-19 cases, information about it, in order to do smutdowns when the -- shutdowns when the cases were actually low in bars and restaurants in nashville. also the controversy with cdc staffers, the political in-fighting there. we're going to break all that town with dr. atlas next. ♪ ♪

[laughter] >> -- because i've spoken directly multiple times to the people at hhs and the doctor who's running the entire vaccine program. and this is what i know. what i know is that there is -- the president really has done a great job at facilitating the expeditious development without a lot of bureaucracy, but

without cutting any corners of developing at least one safe and effective vaccine by the end of the year. i mean, that's amazing. the doctor told me today actually that the normal time would be four or five years, and president trump's operation warp speed is going to do it in less than a year which is amazing, and it's a testament to both cutting the bureaucracy, but understanding how to facilitate things in an efficient way. and, by the way, simultaneously manufacturing while it's being developed. so we have more than 100 million doses will be manufactured by the end of the year. the process is ongoing in phase three trials. that means that the original phase one safety, phase two safety and efficacy, proof of concept and now phase three are being done. it depends on the data, depends on the number of positives and negatives and the statistical significance, etc. but this is being monitored not by president trump, it's not being monitored by federal

agencies, the data itself is being monitored by an external expert group. these people have nothing to do with the administration, so there's zero chance of any manipulation or safety concerns whatsoever, and that's sort of unconscionable to imply that. now, once there's a safe and efficacious vaccine that is determined by the data -- elizabeth: yeah. >> -- it goes through the company, the company submits it to the fda. there's the potential of getting an emergency use authorization, and then we know as we saw stated many times that there is going to be hundreds of millions of doses generated over the first few months of the year -- elizabeth: okay, okay, got it. >> the first purity is the priority, and then at the end of the first quarter, we we see that we will have plenty of vaccines for everyone in the united states -- elizabeth: okay, got it, all right. >> i mean, it's that simple. these are the facts. elizabeth: i hear you, i hear you. you know, i got so excited that you're on, i really packed that question. and i'm so sorry about that. i think you more than answered

it. we know that there's cdc political in-fighting, a lot of accusations that the cdc is top-spring on behalf of the president. your word on that, is that happening? >> no. i mean, you know, the cdc is an agency, it's run by dr. redfield, and there's a lot of people in the cdc, by the way. and so, you know, i think that there's just somehow a political interest by people who don't want to see success. i'm here, like everybody else, because a pandemic going on, and we're trying to help the country. there's no urgency that's political. the urgency is the 200,000 people that have died. cdc, you know, this is a government agency. everything is sort of complicated because there's a lot of people involved, but, i mean, this idea that somehow there was data manipulation or something by the president is really ridiculous, and dr. redfield himself, as i understand, testified that there was no evidence of anyone trying

to influence the data. so i think this is just some mythical story that the media loves to sensationalize. elizabeth: you know, doctor, thanks for answering that. your take on the mayor of nashville and his health department now accused of covering up positive data on the low number of covid-19 cases at bars and restaurants in nashville that could be great for nashville at the time it was 22 cases connected to bars and restaurants, but then they were putting restrictions on those same bars and restaurants. those restaurants and bars are suffering under crushing covid restrictions, and last night nashville business other than and country singer -- owner and country singer john rich warned a class action lawsuit could be coming. your reaction to this story? >> well, i think it highlights something very important which is that a policy of stopping covid-19 at all costs is not a rational policy. the policy, like the president himself has said from day one really, he said back in march,

president trump said the cure cannot be worse than the problem, quote-unquote. and that was a prescient remark because -- and this is one of the reasons are i'm here, is because i know health care policy. i understand the science. and the point here is that the president understood from day one we need to consider the implications of the policy. and when you have people locking down without concern for the lockdown itself, you're destroying families, you're hurting our children, you're literally creating a massive health problem by sculpting medical care -- skipping medical care. this is unconscionable. we need to make sure what we're doing is rational policy based on the data. it's not good enough to say you follow the science, you have to follow the science, and part of that is to understand the implications of the lockdown. people need to get back to work in a safe way, schools need to be open in a safe way. i don't understand any kind of political agenda in stopping that. that's really a heinous abuse of

political power there in nashville as far as i can see. elizabeth: okay. dr. atlas, you're terrific. will you come back soon? and you also wrote an oped e about why colleges should open back up. it's a great read, i read it. it's very interesting stuff. we ran out of time. you would love to have you come back and talk about more along those lines as well. will you come back soon? >> happy to do it. thanks for the invitation. elizabeth: sure. it's good to see you. and do not misour interview -- miss our interview, an exclusive with country star john rich. he's going to weigh in on the story next week on monday night about what's going on in nashville, tennessee, with covid-19 shutdowns. coming up, former congressman greg steube on a trump administration now preparing to enact snapback sanctions on iran as the president prepared to -- prepares to talk to the u.n. next week as more folks say the obama democrats downplayed the chance for peace in the middle

because i think the last thing that we want in the middle east is the iranians getting weapons from the russians or the chinese. elizabeth: yeah. that u.n. embargo expires, as you point out, next month, in october. your take on the obama democrats for years downplaying, undercutting the potential for peace in the middle east where president trump has won historic peace deals with israel, the uae and bahrain, now five more mideast countries could potentially follow. we don't know yet. watch this. >> there will be no separate peace between israel and the arab world. i want to make that very clear to all of you. i've heard several prominent politicians in israel sometimes saying, well, the arab world's in a different place now. we just have to reach out to them, and we could work some things with the arab world and we'll deal with the palestinians. no, no, no and no.

elizabeth: okay. john kerry clearly is wrong there. the washington examiner points out democrats like tim kaine, john kerry, susan rice shouted catastrophe,s apocalypse, war in the middle east when the trump administration moved the u.s. embassy to jerusalem, when he ordered the killing of qassem soleimani, and when he gets a peace deal, nancy pelosi says, oh, it's just a distraction from covid is the. your reaction to all of that? >> and president trump got it done. john kerry said it couldn't happen, and president trump got it done and is continuing to do9. what a difference in the obama/biden administration versus what trump is able to get done. and the security and safe few it has not only given the american people, but the middle east and all these peace deals and the pass and prosperity he's going to give these arab nations and to israel. the fact that he's going to inor sure that no -- insure that no

migrant children in cages, but the photos were from 2014 under the obama administration. she was trying to use them to attack president trump. these photos are widely debunked as attacks on trump. your reaction? >> well, the really bad thing about rachel maddow and the liberal, you know, mainstream media, so to speak, continually using -- i mean, they continue to use them with a brand new member of the homeland security committee, a democrat, come on. and what's the first thing he'd talk about? trump putting kids in cages, and he cites those same images from 2014 under the obama administration. i mean, it's just terrible. the left needs to get its facts right on this one, and they consistently use this same trope that trump did it. it's ridiculous, it's dishonest, and i'm glad everybody's pushing back on maddow on that. elizabeth: well, the cages, i mean -- let me back up, they're

fenced-in enclosures that were built under the obama administration. former first lady michelle obama criticized them but didn't mention they were built at the time of her husband's administration. a judge ended the policy, it was a really tough policy and, you know, he did, you know, enact an executive the order after an uproar. you know, here's the thing, the nuance here is that children were separated in instances where there was fear for the child's safety or the parent had a serious criminal history. your word on that? >> well, absolutely. i mean, you have to be very cautious. i've been to the southern border many times in my role as a member of the homeland security committee, and i've seen those enclosures. they're not cages at all. not even close to thatment what they're doing -- to that. what they're doing right now, i can't speak for under the obama administration, but since i've been to the border, their not cages. -- they're not cages. but they have to separate these

people. 36% when i talked to cbc, and this was about eight months ago, 36% of the children who came across the border weren't with any family members. these were people who were just, they were intentionally grabbing children as a ticket under the former policy to get through the border and get into america -- elizabeth: yeah, that easter tying. -- terrifying. >> it's horrific, and yet the democrats -- elizabeth: yeah, that's a disgrace. yeah. that is a disgrace. i want to get to this story, a positive story. u.s. marshal service with homeland security breaking up criminal gangs, arresting 262, finding 5 missing children, rescuing them in oklahoma city. they rescued 39 missing, endangered children. they found them in georgia. 25 missing children found in northeast ohio. you know, some of these kids were involved in human trafficking. what a victory for the u.s. marshals service and homeland security. this is a widespread operation. these are the good guys doing

good things, finding these children. your reaction? >> yeah. s this is excellent. and what a lot of people don't realize is that the trump administration has arrested 5,000 human traffickers coming across our southern border. interestingly enough, the rating agencies for, you know, human trafficking and sex trafficking, the border of the united states and mexico and the philippines are rated as the world's worst places for human trafficking. and the liberals want an open border? they don't -- they want to stop and did everything they could to stop the president's border wall? i mean, that's what we're dealing with here. it's no wonder rachel maddow's showing pictures from, you know, six years ago. elizabeth: all right. congressman, you gave some great information there. it's really interesting to talk to you. will you come back soon? we love having you on. >> thanks, liz. always great to be on your show. elizabeth: okay, same here. i'm elizabeth macdonald. you've been watching "the
