let's welcome house foreign affairs ranking republican michael mccaul of texas.an, great to have you on. is taiwan next? what do you think? hundreds of hong kong residents have been arrested. is taiwan next? >> this is a major takeover by the chinese communist party of hong kong in violation of the sino-uk, british treaty. they're basically ripping the treaty into shreds and taking over hong kong and silencing them, taking their freedoms of speech away. taking their democracy away while the rest of the world sits back and watches. the last bill we passed in the house last week unanimously was to sanction the chinese communist party for its violation of the treaty and its take over of hong kong. i can't emphasize enough how important this is. of the chinese aggression against not only hong kong but against india and the at this tn himalayan region. you mentioned taiwan. taiwan is on the road map. it will be done in a similar way i believe. that is their short-term strategy. elizabeth: wow, that is pretty upsetting for the people of taiwan. it has been living for f

just yesterday in a markup about an election interference bill, ranking member mccaul tried to amend it to talk about china and the democrats all voted against it and refused. even though in the same article axios, you have christopher wray from the f.b.i. talking about the fear of china's actions for our elections and the influence they are trying to have on members of congress. also yesterday, democrats voted against our attempt to bring up a bill that has been sitting on the speaker's desk for more than a month. the act by senator kennedy. also sitting on the speaker's desk is holding foreign companies accountable act by senator kennedy. pelosi that held since last may. and last week they voted against a bill against china for hacking a covid research for a vaccine. at the same time on the same day where we arrested or indicted two chinese for coming out. the democrats on the floor of the house stood with the communist party of china instead of the american public. instead of taking action, democrats are making excuses. as you look on the screen, look at what they have said. biden

elizabeth: congressman mike mccaul. come back soon. >> thank you.lizabeth: next up the white house today launched its new anti-crime operation legend. it will start in kansas city, in chicago and albuquerque. more cities will follow. a dozen democrat mayors condemning this push. this involves lawsuits and more. the media is also claiming, blaming president trump for the federal response. we're in a new world here. we're on the other side of the looking glass. we'll take it up with acting secretary of homeland security ken "curb your enthusiasm." these very important issues hitting america today. the story next. president trump: perhaps no citizens have suffered more from the menace of violent crime than the wonderful people of chicago, a city i know very well. at least 414 people have been murdered in the city this year, a roughly 50% increase over last year. more than 1900 people have been shot. these are numbers that aren't these are numbers that aren't even to be believed. (groans) hmph... (food grunting menacingly) when the food you love doesn't

mccaul, mr. eliot engel for having this hearing today. it is with great sadness that i come here because we had such optimism and such hope. the u.s. congress has always spoken in a bipartisan house and senate, democrats and republicans, with one voice in defense of those who are oppressed by beijing and in support of freedom, justice and real autonomy for the people of hong kong. we continue to urge president trump to hold chinese officials accountable for abuses, including taking steps under the hong kong human rights and democracy act. we must consider all tools available including visa limitations and economic penalties. but here today, i'm very honored to join cheuk yan lee, general secretary confederation of trade unions, carroll peter sen, professor of law university of hawaii, brian leung, ph.d. university candidate university of washington and virtually electronically nathan law, legislative council, former member council of hong kong and former chairman. again, for years, the world has watched in horror as beijing has accelerate

and when she moves to mccaul's in 1949, they paid her $3,000 a column. and in $2,018 that would be about $25,000. so she was making serious money and she was giving a lot of it away. but eleanor had the perspective that money was an indicator of value and of importance. she understood that she lived in a monetary society and money was a measure of worth and she wanted to be compensated. because, you know, she was working. now, did she do a lot of volunteer work? oh, yeah, totally. but she wanted that money because it was her means to further the goals that she had for a more just and inclusive society. >> did eleanor receive any letters about franklin's health and his polio. >> yes. i did not include them in this talk but, yes, they did ask her to address that very specifically. there are people that say now enough time has passed, would you comment on whether or not he was strong enough or healthy enough to run for a fourth term. >> i know there was a gentleman's agreement with photographers not to show his paralysis. >> right, exactly. >> but i wonder

the leading republican on house foreign affairs, mike mccaul, tells "the washington free beacon" he isworld health organization is "finally admitting to the world the truth." they never reported the outbreak to the w.h.o., in violation of w.h.o. regulations. the question now is whether they will continue their false propaganda campaign that continues to claim they warned the world, or whether they will come clean and begin to work with the world health community to get to the bottom of this deadly pandemic. katie, i want to go to you first, because this is happening, new developing information is happening, as you well know, as the u.s. intelligence community still has an ongoing active investigation into the origins of this virus. what china knew about it, and when, and what it disclosed to the rest of the world. we are still standing by waiting to hear the results of that. >> katie: yeah, we continue to see that china did not engage in any kind of transparency, that the world health organization was complicit in spreading this virus, because they were not only covering for china, the

this is from congressman michael mccaul.the house foreign affairs committee. his statement today on this is as folz. russian cyberattacks on organizations combating the covid pandemic and working tirelessly to develop a vaccine once again show vladimir putin is not a friend to the united states. sadly, this is part of a larger pattern of russia launching cyberattacks that seek to destabilize and undermine democratic institutions here in the united states as well as in allied countries like the united kingdom, germany, estonia, ukraine, and georgia. we must continue to work with our allies to expose this despicable behavior and hold the putin regime accountable. so some strong words there from the top republican on the house foreign affairs committee. >> yeah. >> heard the statement there from the white house. that was sort of a short response there. do you have any sense of what is being done in response to this by the government, by the mr. ing? >> look, the intelligence agencies are pushing back both against china and russ

i met david mccaul or when i made the documentary about president bush. david said to me it takes about 50 years for historians to render judgment on a president and how glad he was to see that historians had come around on george bush and had given him the credit that he truly deserved, and that george bush was a life to see it. and so i do think that he was admired widely, especially by the time he died. i do think at the top of this is not accurate, but i also think i'm a little biased. >> let's see if this is on. yes. so what is being portrayed here, one of the challenges by the panel, as for many of you, we don't need to explain what the references are in these cartoons. many of you probably remember, oh they were talking about the wind factor. they are talking about bush as a wimp. for young people nowadays, they thought george bush was a wimp. why did they think he was a wimp? that is actually a really good question. the origin of the wimp factor label was a newsweek magazine cover that actually had a picture of bush under the wind factor. which st

mccaul. >> thank you, administrator. you said the consul in houston just got closed yesterday. the chinese communist party has been doing this for decades. they've been stealing intellectual property. they are currently trying to steal the research and development forre our vaccine fr covid-19. the virus that they are responsible for coming out of wuhan, china, another want to steal our vaccine to save the world. the iron is just mind-boggling. they are a force to be reckoned with, and i think if anything comes out of this experience, this twilight zone experience we are goingil through, it is that people waking up to the chinese communist party are and what they have done to the world and what they they've done to us fe last two decades. your agency has role in this. i want to commend my dear friend, i wish she was staying with us, mr. yoho, for his probably one of the best bills have passed out of this committee, thebi build act. and the development finance corporation which is going to be our key to defeating the chinese communist party and it's built and road initiative in

applause] and just to give credit where credit is due come , those weree words of ambassador michael mccaul. and i think no set of remarks is complete without talked about the coronavirus and i think that where learning this lesson all over again with the coronavirus. have the chinese government and the first place act responsibly when dr. lee first spoke up rather than detaining him and suppressing information, we might get a different place today. if the u.s. had a better relationship with china perhaps we would've had more information earlier. and perhaps international health experts code of travel to china sundar. itha turns out the truth matter, and epidemics can be subdued by tweets a. [laughing] [applause] we need to do a better job of relationship building at home so we understand our own political priorities right hereth in the u.s. and the working environment in washington. foreign service officers need to understand the imperative of our political leadership in the executive and legislative branches. diplomats cannot be effective if they are only experts in foreign affairs. that

. >> sandra: so after that meeting you put out a joint statement with your colleague michael mccaul sayingady those politicizing the issue. the putin regime cannot be trusted if the intelligence review as you just stated congressman process verifies the reports and strongly encourages the administration to take strict and serious action to hold the putin regime accountable. he said it on air this morning, he said that this is another false story and he surprised that th "the new york times" ran it. as far as any accountability with that is concerned he said it may be impossible to get to the bottom of this because of the leaking. so what you are hearing your colleagues on the left asking for congressman is, they want a full house briefing. we are hearing about the gang of eight that could be happening, but what do you think should be happening on that front? >> i think briefed congress to the extent possible. keep in mind somebody somewhere decided to lick a lot of intelligence so the idea that 500 some members of the congress and the senate are not going to leak anything further, they wil

a table setting here was derived from an early magazine article in the 19 fifties and mccaul's magazineh was titled, how eleanor lives at val-kill. it is set up as a buffet, and that's what mrs. roosevelt would prefer when she had numerous guests here at the site. this is the living room here at val-kill cottage. as we look through the room, we noticed an alcove area, very significant in the story, because that's where john f. kennedy would sit with mrs. roosevelt. he was seeking her support with his presidential bid, and that's because mrs. roosevelt was at one time the most powerful women in america, and, of course, the matriarch of the democratic party. eleanor described her very chairs here in the cottage as being representative of her visitors at val-kill. which he was referring to is that they came in different shapes, sizes and colors, but when she grouped them together, they seem to function well hair. we also see the walls decorated with many photographs that were important to mrs. roosevelt, such as several pictures of louis how are incorporated in this room. there is always a

how the bureau of prisons has handled the pandemic with prisoners and who made that clicked on mike mccaulclear lafayette square. these are all potential questions and grilling from lawmakers who are expected. some showing up remotely and it's expected to be on its way, it's expected to be four or four and a half hours so they could be a slight delay but we do not know yet. >> you talk about the length of this and this is four or four and a half hours because you have 40 members of the house judiciary committee clearly controlled by democrats. each member will get 5 minutes to either question or make statements to the attorney general and then the attorney general will of course, this whole thing is now in flux because it was supposed to start in 17 minutes and our understanding was it's unclear if that's the hold and it might delay this until tomorrow, we don't yet know what we know it's not going to start at 10:00. we are still waiting for information from the local d.c. authorities to give some kind of information about how serious this car accident was. we are told right off the get-go
