radio show from 9 to noon and "fox and friends." junenine is next. i met her. she's nice. judge jeanine: welcome to "justice." i'm judge jeanine pirro. this might just be the one thing more than anything else that raises the alert that they are coming for your gun. this week new york attorney general, letisha james filed a fraud case. ex employing their positions for

personal benefit. expensive travel on expensive jets and vacations. which if true is an outrage. with you ag james is not a prosecutor. but she is calling for and demanding the dissolution of the nra. what's this about? permit me to set the table. letisha james ran to become the new york state attorney general on a left wing platform of trump hate. take a listen. >> he's going to be a fine [bleep]. he has no money personally. classy. not to mention a violation of ethical standards. another central theme of her campaign, a promise to prosecute the nra. but now she says her charges have nothing to do with politics. thank god for honest politicians.

this is a classic civil fraud lawsuit brought by one state a.g. that seeks the dissolution of the largest and most influential pro gun, second amendment organization in the nation. an attempt on her part to take down and silence the strongest voice in america on the second amendment gun rights. another attempt by the cancel culture clan to erase an organization that is the number one training group in america on firearms safety. she says the nra, an organization supported by mostly republican candidates, targeted for takedown by a leftist democrat brand-neleftistdemocrae election has nothing to do with

her personal convictions. as a prosecutor i convicted an employee from stealing a significant amount of money from his organization. should i have closed the organization. because it was a breeding ground for greed? >> it's clear that nra has been failing to carry out its mission for many years, and instead is operated as a breeding ground for greed, abuse, and brazen illegality. judge jeanine: should i have told the blind in west chester, i can't allow this organization to continue because it's a breeding ground for greed? of course not. if the parish priest gets prosecuted should we shut down the church? is this lawsuit really about

justice? if you think so, i have got a gun to sell you. if this has nothing to do with politics, then it's only about a charity violation. how about you prove you are a woman of the law and investigate that criminal enterprise that's paraded around, the infamous clinton foundation. one in 2013, according to the irs brought in 150 million with total grant disbursement of $9 million. of that only a small percentage going to charity while spending $18 million on travel and conference and $30 million on salaries and benefits. the charity organizers says they can't rate the organization because it's an atypical

business model. the clinton foundation is shut down. no more pay-to-play contributions since hillary is no longer a viable candidate. you won't even need top dissolve the organization. if they can do this to the nation's largest and most powerful gun group, think of what they can do for you. take a listen to joe biden, point man, beto o'rourke. >> hell, yes, we are going take your ak-15. judge jeanine: anti-american hate, flag hating, religious desecration, police defunded, departments burning, children murdered as they sit in their strollers and the top cop in new york wants to sue and dissolve the nra while there is an

all-out assault on our democracy and way of life. at a time when gun sales are going through the roof, up 122% the last year because americans are afraid the calvary -- calf cavalry won't be there for them when they are in need. i was a keynote for that organization. it's time to recognize that the attempt by the left-hating progressives to silence gun owners and take away their guns is of utmost importance to them. when you use a gun like the mccloskeys did in st. louis, they will prosecute you. even los angeles d.a. jackie lacey's husband has been charged by the california version of james for taking a gun out when

black lives matter rioters approached their home. the next time a left theist liberal progressive tells you you shouldn't have a gun or you shouldn't use it to defend yourself or your property. tell them i don't need your' permission for having a gun. i own guns because it's my second amendment right. and neither you nor anyone in washington gave me that right. it's a god-given natural right confirmed by the people who founded this nation. i don't want to hear about your trump hating, left why it gun rating, capital hating nonsense. it's time to go back to being unafraid. to go back to the constitution and go back to the america our founding faulters would actually recognize. you have 86 days to decide.

do you want to live in joe biden and beto o'rourke's america or president trump's america that even shrines and guarantees our right to own a gun and use to it defend yourself. think hard. your life may depend on it. that's my open. if you like my open and you love my new book "don't lie to me," it's available for preorder on amazon and everywhere else. here with reaction to my open and president trump's bold move on the coronavirus relief for millions of americans after negotiations stalled in congress. house minority whip steve scalise and jim jordan join me now. i understand we have congressman

scalise i guess on the phone. >> yes, judge will be how are you. judge jeanine: good, congressma, good. can you tell me what is your reaction to my open? >> you hit the nail on the head. the attorney general of new york has been trying to shut the nra down since she came into office. she is trying to weaponnize her office to go after a political vendetta she has against the nra. she made statements to that point long before there were allegations of wrongdoing. here is a prosecutor looking to put somebody away before they see a crime. and she wants to shut down the nra. that's an abuse of her office. judge jeanine: congressman jordan? your reaction?

>> understand the timing. this is the same old playbook the democrats go to. in dwefl before that election it was lois lerner who went after tea party groups. then it was president obama and joe biden spying on donald trump's campaign. then 80 days before the election they go after the nra. the only thing the left wants people to do is protest. they don't want you to go to work, church or school. now they want you to. we have to make sure president trump gets re-elected. judge jeanine: congressman scalise, you were shot at a congressional baseball game by an individual who wanted to make sure there were republicans, that they were republicans they were shooting at. you have got to have a personal

take about this. what is your take on guns? steve: i am passionate about people's second amendment rights. people are guns saved my life and everyone else on the ball field. if it was justed the gunman with the gun. the left has been want to go take away our guns for a long time. this is about targeting conservatives. if there weren't people with guns, i wouldn't be here. every day in america people use guns to save their lives. they want to defund the police. if you are at your house, just you and your family and there is no police around, and they defund the police like minneapolis is doing. we better protect our second amendment right. joe biden wants to take our guns away. he's letting these people run

his agenda. >> that's why as you pointed out, there are record sales for firearms as we speak. people like this attorney general in new york, what she is trying to do. americans sun the second amendment is right next to the first four for a reason. it's pretty darnl important. judge jeanine: congressman jordan. i don't know if you heard it. but i just heard this from a friend of mine who is a member of the national d.a.'s association. d. pavment jackie lacey. there were rioters and protesters who actually came to their home at 5:00 in the morning. he took a gun out that he had a license for. and the a.g. is prosecuting him for it. it's not just taking count nra. it's people who have legal guns who are trying to protect themselves and property.

the mccloskeys were like -- they said the protesters were going to live in their house. this is crazy stuff. congressman scalise, what about the four points the president did? he jumped over congress on this. he said enough. i feel the player cans' pain. i am going to make sure they get $400 a week in unemployment benefits. student loans forgiven for a period of time as well as paycheck protection. steve: this an example of president trump taking executive action when you saw speaker pelosi and chuck schumer trying to take people hostage to push their left wing agenda. president trump did an end run around them and took away their leverage.

barack obama used executive action to go after people. the epa to shut down businesses and the energy industry. what you see president trump doing is using the weight of the federal government to help people. to find a vaccine for covid-19 which he has done by getting the fda to expedite the research and testing. president trump is using his power to help people. they want to take power to literally take away our right and do mail-in ballots. that's their agenda, and president trump is fighting for them. that's what's at stake in november, judge. >> basically jumping over congress saying enough is enough. >> the president is looking to help families around this country. the great american comeback has started. instead of negotiating with

nancy pelosi, he wants to spend $3 trillion on crazy items. i think it's the right more. i think the american people understand that. i think in 80 days president trump will get re-elected. judge jeanine: i think he will be. i spoke to someone earlier today who said you have no idea how many people are hurting and what a difference this will make in their lives. congressman scalise and congressman jordan, thanks for being with us on "justice" tonight. we appreciate it. all right. still ahead. my exclusive interview with defense secretary mark esper you won't want to miss. remember all those promises president trump made in 2016? peter navarro is here to tell you how many of them he actually kept. and what he promises to do after

winning in november.

businesses are starting to bounce back. but what if you could do better than that? like adapt. discover. deliver. in new ways. to new customers. what if you could come back stronger? faster. better. at comcast business, we want to help you not just bounce back. but bounce forward.

and now, we're committed to helping you do just that with a powerful and reliable internet and voice solution at a great price. call or go online today. judge jeanine: president trump in ohio talking jobs and why this is the most critical vote of our times. peter navarro joins me with more. i know it's been a busy week for

you. i know you were in ohio. and jim jordan from. joe: was just on. what were you doing that whirlpool? >> i saw jim in a coat. it was such a great event. he actually wore a coat. this was a beautiful symbol of what's happening with the trump administration and manufacturing in america. the whirlpool company. every four seconds a washer comes up on the assembly line. they have 30 miles of conveyer belts. a washing machine. judge jeanine: every four seconds. >> .9 to be exact -- 3.9 to be exact. the only reason that factory and

exists and is prosperous is because of donald trump's tariffs. the korean predators dumping product from china, thailand, vietnam, and mexico. he put the tariffs on and that made all the difference in the world. whirlpool tried year over year with the obama-biden administration. but it took trump to do this. it's an example of why tariffs are necessary to defend american workers. what i loved about the event was it brought back the june 2016 jobs plan speech outside of pittsburgh where he made 7 promises to the american people, things like renegotiate nafta, get out of the trans-pacific partnership. >> we have a full screen. go ahead.

>> promises made, promises kept. he joked he was the only president who kept the promises he made. and he used that platform to make six more promises for the 2020 campaign. and he starts off with most importantly defeat the china virus. but we have also got to do is take this china virus adversity and turn it into american prosperity, be repurposing our manufacturing base. bring our medical supply chain back. on air force one he signed a beautiful executive order for buy american for our pharmaceutical. we'll get that home so manufacturers can work. it was a great day. this president is into action, action, action. the same day he put on aluminum

tariffs back on canada because they were cheating on their agreement. he signed an executive order banning tiktok and wechat so americans won't be exposed to the dangers of those apps. the best applause line in his speech was the last promise he made, defend american workers. the crowd went wild. that's the heartland. i will tell you what, judge. this is a working man's president, the working woman's president. the people who work with their hands. judge jeanine: just today -- you talk about promises made, promises kept. he saw the pain americans are going through and he didn't want to tolerate what is going on with schumer and pelosi. he signed four executive orders

that will deliver for the american people. comment on that. >> the good lord and the founding fathers gave us executive orders precisely for the kind of partisan circus and blackmail that the democrats want to hold over american workers. they are trying to use american workers as hostage to get to this big below thed plan they have. what the president said is no, no, no, i'm going to take care of business. he got the payroll tax cut extended to workers. let me say this. when people hear payroll tax cut, necessity probably think of business. this is 6% immediate raise for the workers of america. he's taking care of student loans, he's taking care of people getting evicted. he did it. judge jeanine: peter navarro. you cut through a lot of stuff in a short time.

thank you so much for what you are doing. and tell the president we thank him as well. >> i'll tell him tomorrow when i talk to him. judge jeanine: still ahead. seattle police chief carmen best on anarchy in our cities and defunding the police. and my exclusive interview with as you get older, are you worried about staying sharp and alert? forebrain, from the harvard-educated experts at force factor, contains key ingredients to help boost memory, learning, clarity, focus, and more! rush to walmart and find forebrain, our #1 brain booster, in the vitamin aisle.

now back to "justice with judge jeanine." . judge jeanine: from beruit to china. there was a lot to discuss when i sat down with our top defense official, secretary mark esper. thanks so much for being with us tonight. i want to start with events this week. lebanon appears a huge explosion in the port city of beruit. officials are limiting some individuals to house arrest and saying they have not decided whether it's intentional or accidental. those 2,700 tons of ammonium nitrate. a highly flammable substance. >> let me say first of all, what

a great tragedy this is for beruit. it's devastating. well over 100 pen -- over 100 persons killed. we mourn for the families. the impacts it will have on the country at large and the economy. it's just devastating. i mourn for the people. i will say the d.o.d. at president trump's direction and leadership, we'll provide humanitarian assistance for the people of lebanon. i have planes lining up to deliver such supplies. we want to do everything we can to help the lebanese people in this hour of need. we still don't know. on the first day as president trump rightly said, we thought it might have been an attack. it could have been a hezbollah arms shipment that blew up or a

hezbollah bomb making facility. who knows. each day we learn. yesterday i commented it was looking more like an accident. it's regrettable that some in the media rather than taking into consideration this great tragedy, trying to draw divisions between me and the president and others. and it's simply not true. the fact of the matter is, it's a great tragedy. ened the president's leadership we are going to doing we can to help the lebanese people and do what's right. judge jeanine: i learned the ammonium nitrate was stored in an area where the port officials in lebanon and beruit kept saying we want to get it out of here and they can't get a response. they say it was initially on a russian vessel that was abandoned which is -- adds a lot more intrigue to it. but i guess we'll have to wait

and see about that. but certainly the people of lebanon are in our prayers and mine especially since i have family there. i want to move on to another area where there is a lot of cushion. that is china. our relations with china where not great. you listen to the president and the secretary of state pompeo. there is a cold war. but do you think we are ready for something more than just a cold war? >> my responsibility as secretary of defense is to be ready for everything. plan for the worst, and work fork the best. i spent nearly an hour and a half on the phone this morning with my counterpart in china, the defense minister. and we talked about a number of issues, taiwan, hong kong, south china sea. we are not looking for a conflict with china. but when need to stand up for what's right. the president has done this under his leadership. we are standing up for our

economic interests, human rights abroad, our security interests in the regional. as i shared with the chinese defense minister, we are deeply troubled with how china handled the coronavirus and the devastate it reeked upon the world. so we understand what happened and do everything we can to prevent it from happening again. judge jeanine: it doesn't appear we are getting that transparency. it appears the more we engage in taiwan and hong kong, the angrier they are getting. it appears there may be some future problem between the united states and china. >> china basically doesn't follow international rules, or norms. and they don't live up to the commitments they make. with regard to hong kong and how it will be treated under the

1984 agreement or the 1997 handover. or their actions in the south china sea. judge jeanine: in germany, the withdrawal of 12,000 troops. it appeared this is all about angela merkel and the russians seemed to be happy about it. but then they found out that the president and you at his direction are moving those troops to other areas in eastern europe in the baltic area. >> that's right. president trump's direction in early june accelerated a process we had under way. i laid out a couple of things i expected the commander to come up with when he presented the plan president trump approved. it includes enhancing deterrence of russia. strengthening alliances and reassuring allies. we are moving many troops further east closer to russia's border to deter them. most of the allies i have either

spoken to, heard from or my staff has spoken to see this as a good move. it will accomplish all the objectives we laid out. we still have -- -- we still have 20,000 troops in germany. folks tend to bring this up in this context. it's important that germany and other countries pay their fair share. everybody should pay at least 2%. and germany should pay more. it's collective security. it's about our collective responsibility to stand up to the russians. i used that metric across the board. so that's a message we are sending that if we are going to deter the russians, they need to live up to those obligations. that's the same message, not

just this administration. but previous administrationed as well conveyed to our european partners. judge jeanine: afghanistan, 4,000 troops coming home by christmastime? >> we are going down to a number less than 5,000 by the end of november. we need to brief congress on what that looks like. as secretary pompeo said. we think that we can do all the core missions. first and foremost even sure be- insuring the united states is not threatened by terrorists coming out of afghanistan. we'll proceed along that direction. we'll continue this march. in the meantime we see the afghan peace process. it's a windy rough road, but

they are making progress each and every week. judge jeanine: secretary is per, thanks for joining us on justice. still ahead, a justice exclusive with seattle's police chief. what she has to say about the treatment of police across the country. are joe biden's latest comments a preview of what the african-american community will see if he wins in

>> why the hell would i take a test? come on, man. that's like saying you before you got on this program did you take a test whether you are taking cocaine or not what do you think? are you a junky? judge jeanine: wow.

another banner week for joe biden. as he makes blunder after blunder from his basement. my panel is here. corey lewandowski and leo terrell. who wants to go first. why is this guy so angry? and how dare he say to a reporter from a network television, are you a junky. i will start with you, leo. >> outstanding opening statement. and the president made me proud of him with the four executive orders. they were directly helping the american public. this was a key day. joe biden uses black americans and joe biden is a conservative man. he claims he's obama's vp. he time he runs for president he tries to run on the back of using african-americans.

joe biden has lost it. his mental alertness is gone, and he has tried to ride the coat tail of black americans to try to get him elected. it won't work. why? he has done absolutely nothing, zero in the last 50 years in politics. he has done absolutely nothing. that's why he's a failure and president trump is going to win this november. judge jeanine: corey, what are your thoughts? the anger. it's not just a racist comment. the man gets so angry. i know you are trying to go ahead me. d you are trying to goad me. >> if you are in the biden campaign, he lad the worse week of his campaign. he time he talks he says something that's racially

derogatory. it's outrageous and he continues to get a pass from the media. the truth is, joe biden doesn't have the mental acute to serve in the highest office of the land. i believe he will try to get out of the debate on september 29. he will have a reason not to show up on the debate stable because he knows donald trump will destroy him on that stable. judge jeanine: i think we have some more sound from joe biden this week. >> unlike the african-american community with notable exceptions, the latino community is an incredible diverse community with incredibly different attitudes about different things. judge jeanine: so here we have him saying again, the african-american community. he should stop talking about it. he talks about them as if they are a me -- -- a monolithic gro.

>> he insulted he african-american. i don't think like jim clyburn or al sharpton. blacks are individuals. we vote on production. we don't vote based on color. we don't have a jim clyburn come out and tell african-americans joe is okay. joe is not okay. joe is not all there. and joe has conned americans. we are not going to vote democrat just because you tell us. i left the democrat party to vote for donald trump for one reason. donald trump accomplishes things. last point. the democratic party has been totally hijacked by the extremist groups, bernie sanders and socialists. that's not the old democratic party. this is a socialist democratic

party. black americans believe in law and order and they will vote for donald trump. judge jeanine: if you look at what he's done for the community, yes. but in the end, how do you separate people like that. it's antithetical to everything we are talking about today, isn't it? >> it is. look at joe biden as he's trying to select a vice presidential candidate. it's outrageous, it's insulting to women, it's insulting to men. he takes votes for granted. he openly called african-american males predators and he has never been called out for it. the african-american community is not going to vote for joe biden the way they think he

should. >> donald trump will get 25% of the black vote. judge jeanine: who do you think biden is going to pick? corey? >> i think he will pick kamala harris unfortunately. judge jeanine: always great having you on. appreciate it. chop might be over with. but activists are still trying to defund the seattle police department. the city's police chief joins me next.

judge jeanine: ply next guest fights every day to protect the citizens of her city. even with aggressive protesters showing up outside her own home. now the city council wants to cut her pay. carmen best joins me now. we are certainly honored to have you on the show. i know you are busy and you have been through a lot. i want you to know that on a personal level, when i watch you and i watch the calm you seem to have amidst all the lunacy going

on around you, i really admire you. number one, what is it like having been in law enforcement for 30 years, having reached the level of chief of police of a major department, and all of a sudden there is a movement afoot to defund or cut back your own salary. how does this make you feel? >> well, first, let me tell you how honored i am you inviting me to be here this evening. i am grateful for the opportunity to chat with you. we are at an unprecedented time in our country with the covid-19 and now with this movement to defund policing. i dedicated three decades of my life to this profession. i absolutely believe in the importance of having police service in every community. but i also recognize we need discussion and dialogue about what that looks like moving forward. but that shouldn't mean

practicing untested theories or firing officers and laying them off without having something in place you know will work to make sure we can provide accurate and adequate public safety. that's what's really important here. judge jeanine: when we they are burning the precinct and you had to literally evacuate the precinct. were there times when you felt, i can't take this anymore? is this america? >> certainly it has been extremely challenging. but i honestly can say i have faith that we'll eventually come teen agreement in terms of how we are going to keep people safe. no one can ever have imagined some of the challenges with a number of demonstrations we have been dealing with, particularly in some of our west coast

cities. top defend and protect every one, we'll stick by that. judge jeanine: in the last few seconds, i understand the city council hasn't even invited you to sit at the table as they discuss cuts to your department. is that across flat. >> that is accurate and i find it horribly disappointing. when it comes up, what is it they are afraid of and hiding from? we should be having dialogue and discussions. judge jeanine: chief carmen best, thanks so much. we are proud of guys, are you tired of frequent nighttime bathroom trips? well, force factor prostate helps reduce urges to urinate, plus fully empty your bladder and promote a normal prostate size. don't settle. choose force factor prostate, from the #1 fastest-growing men's health brand at walmart.
