for the members of the two sub committees. thank you for being here today. the issue of bio security is one of national importance. as i had stated previously while the department of defense faces urgent challenges daily we can never afford to lose sight of the critically important mission of mass destruction and in particular biological threats. the unpredictable nature of these threats require that we continue to adapt our approach and inner great art response. we must adjust the strategy to more proactively detect and respond to the next event. this will surely not be the last biological crisis that this nation and world faces. that they can more effectively use new data sets. to truly modernize our bio surveillance efforts. when and where it may occur. either naturally occurring or man made is likely to spread. this obviously must be a global effort. and the department of defense. they had developed it will be critical early warning to have a collective response. programs like the cooperative threat reduction and the biological threat reduction program are essential to maintaining a global footprint in the bui

committee, specialized at looking at arms control. i served for eight years and united states senate and served on the armed service committee. for the last eight years i served on the national security council, and when the conflict came up in bosnia, i saw a genocide in the heart of europe with the most violent war on the continent of europe since world war ii. look that's where world war one started. in the balkans. my uncle was a victim of poison gas there. millions of americans are the result of that conflict. we have to be willing to be good, sound judgments. incidentally i know the value of making sure that our troops have the latest technology. the governor's proposed skipping the next generation of weapons. i think that's a big mistake because i think of the state the cutting edge. >> governor how would you advise the voters to make the decision on this issue? >> i think that you have to look at how one has handled responsibility in office. it's the same in domestic policy as well jim. whether or not you have the capacity to convince people to follow. whether or not one makes decisions based on sound principles. whether or not you rely on pools or focus groups to decide on t

committee congressman adam schiff. congressman, thanks so much for joining us. how much of a national security threat is the president's decision to actually return to the white house because potentially it's exposing other administration officials, white house staff, white house workers. >> it's a big problem. and potentially a grave security problem as well. you already have public reports of the west wing essentially being vacant with so many people who are quarantining themselves either because they're sick or they're afraid they might be sick and so the decision-making at the white house is already impacted. and of course there have been a lot of questions about the president's decision-making and the clarity or lack of clarity in his own thinking right now, when he's battling this virus. and then, you know, not far from the white house at the pentagon they're dealing with their own potential outbreak and so cumulatively it has a big impact. and of course our adversaries are watching all this very closely. >> you heard the speaker nancy pelosi tell house democrats in a phone conversation

what is national security and the other is the doctors coming in for these coronavirus task force committees. but they don't meet. except trump is the only one who has known all of them. tina he knows what is going on in the failure to warn is one of the saddest moments in history as best i can tell. jane: do you he could outrun it. the numbers are exponentially taking upwards and spreading through the country. do you think the people would not notice . that's what i've been a notable figure out. bob: that is not the way he thinks. he thinks in a very impulsive way as we know of how do i do with this at this moment. it is a failure to accept responsibility. in july i talked with him. one of her long talks. in fact it was the longest one is in the book. so this was two months ago. * the virus, with rating would you give yourself. he said i would give myself in a forget a vaccine, and a+ rated on this day, there were 4 million virus cases in this country. 142,000 americans had died. and he is giving himself in a and then look at some of his comments last week when people asked about him downpl

for the president and the first lady. i sit on the foreign relations committee, so i think about this moment through a national security lens on two feet able to speak to the camera. it is important to show our allies and adversaries around the world that this president is still in charge. it's also why the white house has to give us more information. this white house has to make very clear what the president's symptoms are and what his prognosis is. if we do have to start entertaining the possibility of potentially transferring power even for a short period of time, more information is important. we also need to know, erin, the scope of this epidemic and this spread at the white house. obviously we've had one u.s. senator test positive. but mitch mcconnell is still saying we're going to be back in the senate voting next week. and if we don't know who's positive, if we don't know how bad this superspreading event was, if it happened, then we're all in trouble. so, we've got some work to do to trace the source of this infection and to make sure that everyone around the president over the last few weeks is not doing further d

national security expert fred fleitz. >>> well, republicans on the senate judiciary committeed today unanimously voted to advance the supreme court nomination of judge amy coney barrett to the full senate forull vote this coming monday. it was unanimous because the radical dems on the committee boycotted today's proceedings. the full senate will vote to make judge barrett a supreme court justice, as i said, on monday. the radical left's boycott of judge barrett's confirmation comes as their presidential candidate says he plans to reform the entire court system. listen to what joe biden told viacom's cbs. >> i'll put together a national commission of bipartisan commission of scholars, constitutional scholars, democrats, republicans, liberal, conservative, and i will ask them to over 180 days come back to me with recommendations as to how to reform the court system because it's getting out of whack. it's not about court packing. there's a number of other things that constitutional scholars have debated. lou: i didn't see a single interruption in that, did you? coming up next, we'll have more on the left's cover-up for joe biden's corruption scandal. we're joined next by white house chief of

for certain people. we don't even have to look that far back in our history. in the 1980s, the republican national committee sponsored something called the national ballot security task force which patroly purpose was to polls. the people on the task force, many of them were off-duty police officers who were armed with loaded service revolvers and wore armbands. we basically had a militia at the polls. thankfully there was a consent decree to prevent that sort of intimidation, but that expired in 2018. now we see something called army for trump. we see a new effort campaign with militaristic overtones. it is unchecked not only because there is no consent decree in place, but we have a department of justice that is not willing to play any meaningful role in protecting the civil rights of voters in this election. it has failed to enforce the voting rights act in most instances. a real department of justice would be using its powers under the voting rights act to send reliable and neutral federal observers to document potential voter intimidation and obstruction at the polls, but instead we see this department of justice engaging in those tactics itself, and that i

committee, use it to attack president trump. senator burr fell into the trap of thinking that everyone in the intelligence community and democrats and foreign policy community, that they're all working together in bipartisan manner for national securitysually do but at this point in history they're all working together to undermine the president. that is happening in the intelligence community. it is certainly was happening in the intelligence committee. that is why i'm so glad john ratcliffe is now dni, his predecessor dan coats fell under the trap too. ratcliff is trying to get truth out to the american people. elizabeth: okay. so, you know, senator lindsey graham is expressing frustration about this. former acting dni ric grenell is telling us he is frustrated about this. because here's what happened, let's break it down? government documents indicate a russian agent was working with christopher steele, putting disinformation into the anti-trump steele dossier that hillary clinton's campaign and the dnc helped finance and helped pay for and then somehow that gets overinto the fbi and was used in part to get powerful fisa wiretaps to spy on the trump campaign as being russian assets. so you see how circular it is. learned sy gram i
