Dagen Geoffrey Berman announcing he is leaving office just hours after u. S. Attorney general william barr said President Trump fired the powerful prosecutor. The move comes after berman disputeds disputed barrs statement. Because you have no intention of resigning, i have asked the president to remove you as of today and he has done so. Senator Lindsey Graham says he wont move forward until he receives approval from Chuck Schumer and christy gillibrand. Senators from new york. Joining us robert wray and also here with me all morning pollster and maslansky partners president , lee carter and pwc partner Mitch Roschelle and real clear politics and cofounder tom devin. Robert ray to you first, what do you get berman being shown the door over the weekend and theres editorial about it, the average trump melodrama and it could distract from bill barrs attempt to actually clean up the Justice Department . Dagen, it wasnt the smoothest rollout. Its rather unfortunate to think that there isnt a nominee that could be proposed that would satisfy the two new york senators. I hope thats not the case and i understand their their concerns, but right now, of course, the result is that the office will be led by an acting u. S. Attorney who was mr. Bermans deputy and the president has the right to fill that that position, so i dont know that this is the end of the story, it was a rather tumultuous from friday night all the way through the weekend, but it doesnt change the fact that the president wants to make a change in the Southern District of new york and the change should be made and it shouldnt have to wait until after the election. Dagen wall street journal in editorial writes that people on the left, the democrats are using this to create the narrative that this is an attempt to protect political allies, theres one minor investigation going on into rudy giuliani, trump adviser according to editorial, but, again, the whole point is that replacing berman with jay clayton is who they we wanted to nominate for the job who is running securities and exchange commission. Again, removing berman isnt making cases go away. Explain to the audience the way that the Southern District of new york and the whole Justice Department exist. There are career attorneys in this division and replacing the head of sdny doesnt make them disappear. Theres 200 attorneys and 100 in Criminal Division and many of them are young and they the office has a long tradition of independence. That will continue whoever is running the office and whoever the president s appointment is, but, again, you know, i think this was a longtime coming. I know that the democrats narrative on this this constitutes yet another effort to attempt, to obstruct justice on the president s behalf, theres no evidence or indication that thats the case and i understand that youll have a boatload of federal prosecutors come and write another letter claiming that attorney general barr should be impeached or should resign, i dont i think thats far from the case here. I think thats more melodrama but the substance of this is this that the president is entitled to have his choice running that office in the interest of justice and its apparently what the attorney general wants. Hes in entitled to have a relationship thats a good one between him and the person who is leading the most prominent and most important u. S. Attorneys office in the country. Dagen Geoffrey Berman was never nominated and it was within the president s power and right to fire him if he wanted. I want to move onto attorney general william barr in an interview with Maria Bartiromo hinting at when more details on the origins of the russia probe will be out, maria sat with barr in an exclusive interview and asked about berman investigations. Maria has he been delayed because of covid19 . There has been delay because of the pandemic . Yes, he has. Maria inability to interview people . Not an inability but slowing down of process. Maria because you cant gather a grand jury . It is a fact that there have not been grant juries in virtually all districts for a long period of time and some people had been reluctant to travel for interviews and things like that, so it has slowed things down but theres hes been working where he can on other matters that arent affected by the pandemic but there has been an effect. Dagen robert ray, your reaction to that . Thats, of course, how careful the attorney general is to confirm or not confirm grand jury investigation. That comes by operation of federal rule. Hes not really permitted to do so. I mean, i think its pretty clear to many of us on the outside who have experience that there is, in fact, grand jury investigation up and running but theres no question as the result of the pandemic that a grand jury is not going to be able to assembwell the same degree of regularity that would otherwise have been the case prior to covid19. I guess i would say, what i hope here at the end to have day is they could get to important conclusions in that berman investigation before the election. I think the electorate is entitled to have the benefit of those results and i hope we can get there and still have a number of months left, but it would be ideal if the public had the benefit of that election before november 3rd. Dagen do you worry that the berman firing gets in the way of this incredibly important probe again, into, the origins of an investigation into a president ial campaign and ultimately a president with many people working together within justice and fbi to basically take down a president . I hear the point, dagen, i really dont think so. This is a weekend distraction which is the berman saga. I think this too shall pass. I dont think that it will have any effect on what john durham is doing and i dont think theres a significant distraction to shepherd that investigation into a conclusion. Dagen robert ray, good to see you. The federalist ben domenech on bigtech censorship. Hes experienced that firsthand, then at 7 00 oclock hour,. [inaudible] congressman jim banks on threat of china and more from marias interview from attorney general william barr.

In the 8 00 oclock hour trump cannian Senior Adviser Mercedes Schlapp. Lady gagas father, restaurant own e on new york phase 2 reopening, Outdoor Dining now allowed. You dont want to miss any of the special guests. Dagen President Trump holding his first rally since the start of the coronavirus pandemic in tulsa, oklahoma over the weekend, but not without controversy, blake berman is here with the latest, good morning, blake. Blake hi, there, dagen, good morning to you as well, going to relaunch from president ial rallies we have been hearing from President Trump about record demand for tickets, however, when President Trump took the stage, you could look around the arena and see batches of empty seats. The Trump Campaign in part blaming that on the media saying in a statement sunday, quote, the fact is that a weeks worth of Fake News Media warning people away from the virus and images of American Cities on fire had real impact of people being family and children to the rally. Here is how they describe who did show up. You are warriors. Ive been watching ive been watching the fake news for weeks new and everything is negative. Dont go, dont only, come, dont do anything. Ive never seen anything like it. You are warriors. Blake as we start the week the white house and the president will likely be pressed over the comments the president made regarding covid19 testing. You do testing to that extent you will find more people, you will find more cases so i said to my people, slow the testing down, please. They test, and they test, we had test of people that dont know whats going on. We have another one over here. The young man is 10 years old, he has the sniffles, he recovered for about 15 minutes, thats the case. Blake joe biden responded in a tweet over the weekend, quote, i cant believe i have to say this but we should be speeding up testing not slowing it down. Now theres been a bit of cleanup from President Trump overnight as he has sent out the following tweet as well writing, quote, coronavirus testing is so much greater, 25 million tests and so much more advance that it makes us looks like we have more cases especially proportionally than other countries, my message on that is very clear. Dagen, back to you. Dagen joining us president ial Campaign Communications director. How can you assure the president , he has rallies coming up this week, i believe, in arizona and wisconsin that the places are packed and you dont have that many empty seats . What we saw an enthusiastic crowd for President Trump to be able to get his message out there. Not only were people wanting to be there, but we were right when we said that there was a real issue when it came to people feeling comfortable being able to go because of what was being reported on the news but those who went had a great time, we saw over 12,000 people be able to attend President Trumps speech, so we will continue that ground swell and couple with 10 million views online just on team broadcast, we know the message from President Trump was far and wide received and we feel good about what we were able to do on saturday. Dagen tom bevin, jump in. Tom we are under 5 months of the election, donald trump is behind in Real Clear Politics National average about 9 and a half points and behind in key swing states like florida, michigan, do you see things differently and if so whats the game plan moving forward over the couple of months . Erin internally we see when we match up President Trump with a defined joe biden the president is competitive in every state across the country and we are close if not leading in the states. Its our job to continue to get the message out there about joe bidens failed 40 years of policies in dc, so we will continue that fight and weve got the greatest ground game thats ever existed in president ial politics, weve got millions of volunteers engaged. We are doing volunteer training remotely and in person across the country, contacting over making over 40 million voter contacts, we will continue to do that all the way to election day. Dagen joe biden outraised, i know that the Trump Campaign has more cash but are you focused onramping up fund raising . We will continue to bring up our money and most come from small donors and we are over 800 million on the campaign with 200 million cash on hand, those are hardworking americans give to go support President Trump, so we will continue to fight for every vote and every dollar to make sure we get the president s message out there because we want to be able to hold the trainings and continue to push online and across the board. Dagen thank you for being here. What the u. S. May do in the race for 5g, plus censoring controversy, ben domenech on platform being silenced by google with the help of nbc news. Thats ahead. Dagen business alert, attorney general william barr breaking news to maria on sunday morning futures saying the u. S. Must rally behind Telecommunication Companies like nokia and erikson. Maria would the u. S. Consider acquiring erikson and nokia to send a message to the world that if you use erikson and nokia, youve got the backing of the United States government as an alternative to hauwei . I gave a speech a while back saying that the two Companies Best way is erikson and nokia and hauwei has the backing of Chinese Government and money. Just to give you an example of 5g network facilities, the total Global Market is around 90 billion and the Chinese Government has set up fund of over 100 billion to subsidize. They can go to countries and say, hey, we will put this in cash free, very cheap money. So, you know, thats thats what we are competing against with, with hauwei and the Companies Like ericsson and nokia are the strongest western competitors in this sector and i gave a speech saying that that ultimately the west has to rally around these companies whether that means private ownership or state involvement. Maria so you would be okay taking a stake even if its a Minority Stake in these companies to offset the threat of hauwei then . Thats not a decision for the Justice Department. I i do think that the west has to pick a horse or horses. Dagen Mitch Roschelle, potentially acquiring, u. S. Acquiring nokia and ericsson, what do you make of that . Mitch the banks all of which are relevant to propping up our Financial System and it stands to reason that if you think that 5g infrastructure is important we should have the Stateowned Enterprises own a piece of that so we can compete globally. The fact of the matter is there are Many Industries that have enterprises and difficult for us to compete on a global basis when government owns a piece of the business, so i think theres going to be more discussion about this and 5g is the future of telecommunications so stands the reason that this would be something that is continued to be out there and discussed. Dagen lee carter, your Quick Reaction . Lee its northern we frame this around investment of 5g rather than being private owned because the United States does need to be involvemented in the future of 5g, 5g is where its at. We want to be about innovation and thats what this needs to be about rather than us owning and thats what we need to be focusing on. Dagen coming up big techs influence, attorney general bill barr talking about platforms sway over content, essentially google can put you out of business if they want to and we talked to a guest who was on the forefront of that. Plus new york city bouncing back, one Small Business owner who defied state orders. We are back after the break. Dagen welcome back im Dagen Mcdowell in for Maria Bartiromo.

Com in streaming wars battle, amazon prime offering 3 times more movies than netflix, blockbusters are to be debut this summer. Wealthy americans are flock to go turks and caicos. Dagen Keith Richards own a president in turks and caicos just saying. Nbc reported to reported the federalist to google itself, essentially nbc, a News Organization was ratting out a competitor who has been critical of it in cahoots with a leftwing organization. Google ultimately reviewing the claims and asking the federalists to take down the Comment Section but allowed it to remain in platform. Joining me now the publisher of the federalist ben domenech. Good morning. Ben good morning. Dagen do people understand the actions, you want to talk about election interference but the power of google to essentially as i believe you have said deplatform, demontize and put out of business any publisher it doesnt agree with. Ben dagen, great talking to you, i want to make slight correction, the way that nbc reported this initially, they said it was because content on our site namely an article that we ran that was critical in the media generally but also nbc, and thats something that they did at the behest of a foreignbased group, tinny little thing that barely counts as being think tank thats designed to go after sites and publish things that they disagree with. What we are seeing here is the power that small groups have to weponized the large internet entities against people that they dont like. Its the appeal of radical leftist going after people whose opinions they think dont just run a foul of their ideas, but shouldnt even see the light of day or have the Financial Support to continue staying open and i think that we are only going see more of that. Google in this case i think embarrassed by the whole situation teamed up with a spin because it was our Comment Section, thats something that actually undercuts all of their arguments about section 230 which attorney general barr addressed with maria this weekend in a way that i think clearly sets up a situation where that aspect of our law is going to be reformed. Dagen i will point out that the Communications Decency act was before google was founded that they passed into law. You want to talk about how dated it is. Maria talked about attorney general brr about bigtechs influence, i want you to listen to this and just react. Maria did select the federalist, zero hedge and tried to cut off their advertising revenue, senator tom call from someone at twitter, take down your tweet immediately about the police needing the military to back them up otherwise we are deleting your account entirely. Right, theres something very disturbing about whats going on. To some extent theres a bait and switch over the past couple of decades. These Companies Held themselves out as open to all comers. Thats how they built up all of their membership and networks, saying, we have a wide variety of views, people can come in and post their views and their positions and their statements and thats what led to people to join it and get the strong market position they have. Then theyve switched, now they are being more selective and they are starting to censor different viewpoints but you had the concentration of the very Large Companies that had that kind of influence on the sharing of information and and viewpoints in our society. Dagen where does this go in terms of the government . Ben well, what we are seeing right now a shift in what people are talking in capitol hill both on the right and the left. I had called from both republicans and democrats on capitol hill, congressmen and senators about this subject because they are deeply concerned about the power of big tech and frankly the ability of small leftist mobs to target someone within the building, find someone who can flip a switch and make arbitrary decisions that can ultimately bankrupt or end entire business platforms that exist and depend on these ad networks. We have never seen companies as powerful as this and attorney general barr is correct when he said this is a bait and switch and allowed the growth of the internet and now they are acting as if they are still the small scrappy upstarts when in reality they have power in networks and ability to survive. Dagen a lot of people saw this building over a period of years as the Companies Got bigger and bigger and bigger and the conservative narrative has always been free market, dont get in the way, government shouldnt pick and choose what companies could be bought by a larger corporation, in fact, i think it was about 3 years ago on the federalist website, yall published. Its a long article called cool it on the google monopoly talk, was that part of the problem, is that the narrative was always government needs to step back or hands off and now these corporations are dangerously large. Well, i think theres two aspects of this, one that we want to have companies that behave the right way, that are good actors within the marketplace that are not trying to crush any kind of competition in ways that are underhanded or using government. On the other hand, that requires them to behave in certain ways that are responsible and not become the tools of these leftist mobs. If that kind of thing happens, keep in mind, this is both right and left who have criticizing entities, you are going to see response. Google at this point and other companies should start to get their mind of the fact, 230 reform opening up the decency act that you made reference to might be the moderate situation because otherwise they might end up being viewed as Public Utilities where people are completely overregulating them. We saw it happen with the railroads back in the day, because of their bad behavior government stepped in because there was so much consumer outcry. I think at this point these entities really have to take a hard look at the way that they are behaving and who they are listening to when they make serious decisions. Dagen people talked about breaking companies up, is google going the way of at t . Ben do you want the Elizabeth Warren solution to this or josh wright, both right and left when they agree on something in washington, thats when companies should start to take notice because thats when things happen. Dagen ben, are you going to be able to bring back the Comment Section, how is that going to work . Ben we absolutely will. We had unregulated Comment Section before. We might have a situation where people have to use a realname login or Something Like that in order to pass muster. We will bring comments. I dont think they are all productive but we will not be pushed around by bigtech entity, of course, the Comment Section dagen i think everyone should be very upset, disturbed and afraid of what happened to the federalist, anybody in the country regardless of where you fall politically because this is a huge abuse of a great deal of power and manipulation, ben, great to see you, a happy fathers day, im a little late but, you know, thats on deck for you mr. Domenech. Absolutely. Dagen new york city bouncing, one owner who defied state orders and now with legally open business as new york city rolls out phase 2. Buying music history.

My customers are ready and coming in as it is. Dagen what happened with you trying to reopen when the nypd came in and then shout you down, what happened with that . Well, that was back in may and they came and threatened me to give a ticket and my customers as well so thats the reason because they were going give my customers tickets and i wasnt up for it. I told them to give me a fine and they said we are going to summon you and your customers, so thats why i closed and then when i found out that they were going to open june 10th, the barber, i wasnt going to risk customers to go to long island for haircuts because i was out of business for 3 months. If i let that happened i probably would have been out of business. Dagen ilia, how are you holding up financially, were you able to get protection money, tell us about that . No, i didnt get no ppp, im not even sure, but i wasnt qualified for it but then i opened Small Business loan and now i have a Small Business loan, thats about it.

In fact, they made things worse because their strategy fit with the trump political strategy, keep it narrow and move it fast. Cheryl bolton wept on to say that democrats were hasty with their ukraine investigation because they didnt want to mess up the election. Those rush headlines from the newsroom, dagen. Back to to you. Dagen thank you so much. The economic threat from china this weekend maria sat down for an exclusive interview with attorney general william barr asking him about the threat posed to the American People by the Chinese Communist party. Maria tell me a bit about what the ccp is doing. I know theres been a real rethinking of the relationship between the United States and china. The way i look at it, this is a fundamental challenge to the United States. Since the late 19th century, our opportunity and our growth, our prosperity as a country has come from our technological leadership. Weve been the technological leader of the world. In the last decade or so, china has been putting on a great push to supplant us explicitly. They want to be the leader in all the future technologies that are going to dominate the economy. So whats at stake is the Economic Opportunity of our children and our grandchildren. Dagen joining me now, indiana congressman, House Armed Services Committee Member and intelligence emerging threats and capabilities subCommittee Member, jim banks. Congressman, good morning to you. Great to see you. What do you make of the attorney generals comments and what will congress do about it . Well, hes exactly right. I dont know that ive ever heard anyone say it as well as the attorney general said it. This is about our kids, about their future, whether or not they will have a shot at the american dream. China is the greatest existential threat that america faces today, both economically and militarily. And thats why Kevin Mccarthy set up the china task force, its a shame that democrats wont join republicans in working together in the house to address this threat. By october 1st we will publish an exhaustive report to the rest of the congress, to the American People, with a plan of how congress can work with this administration to develop a road map moving forward to how we can address this threat. Attorney general barr is exactly right. Hoosiers have known it all along by the way, thats why they overwhelmingly elected donald trump in 2016 and theyre demanding elected officials like myself, senators, governors, that we Work Together to address the china threat and put america back in the drivers seat. Dagen tom . Congressman, what were seeing with china has been a long time coming, ever since nixon in the 70s so half a century worth of policy toward china and theyve been lying and cheating and stealing the whole time, part of their business model. Where has congress been and how did we get to this place over republican and democratic administrations over the last few decades . As i said, i mean, President Trump is truly the only president , not just the first but the only president in my lifetime to identify china as a threat and to pivot away from the position and the failed hope that somehow china would join us as a westernized democratic form of government that treated its people fairly, that has open markets. We know after decades of this foolish hope of china becoming that, that thats not going to happen. They will cheat. They will steal. Theyve stolen our jobs. Theyve given us this coronavirus. Its time to hold them accountable. How do we get to a place in america where our elected officials would do something about it . Were there. Because the American People are demanding it. If you go out and look around the country and survey the American People, this isnt republican or democrat, there is a bipartisan demand by the American People to hold china accountable, to return our critical supply chain and jobs back home to america instead of leaving them in china so we never deal with Something Like what weve dealt with over the last three months. Were there. The American People are demanding it. But i wont be what you find in the halls of congress. Unbelievable. Congress, you find only one party focused on this threat. Another party is afraid and unwilling to address it because of because theyre afraid if they do they somehow appear theyre siding with President Trump in the process who has been very strong on this issue. Dagen china unleashed a deadly virus on the world and then lied about it. People realize that. And lets talk about chinas influence on u. S. Education and institutions in this country. Earlier this month a harvard professor was indicted on charges of lying to u. S. Officials over ties to a chineserun program with goals to strengthen that countrys technological development. A number of Staff Members at u. S. Institutions have faced similar accusations. On sunday morning futures back in april, maria asked oklahoma senator tom cotton about why the u. S. Should reconsider student visas for Chinese Nationals. Heres what he said. Maria, its a scandal to me that we have trained so many of the Chinese Communist partys brightest minds toe go back to china, compete for our jobs, take our business and ultimately steal our property and design weapons and other device thats can be used against the American People. So i think we need to take a very hard look at the visas that we give to chai niece nationals Chinese Nationals to come to the United States to study, especially the post graduate level in advanced scientific and technological fields. If Chinese Students want to study shakespeare and federalist papers, thats what they need to learn from america. They dont need to learn quantum computing and Artificial Intelligence from america. Dagen what are you doing about that . We have so much more to do. I introduced the protect our universities act, which would restrict chinese face nails from nationals from participating in dod or federal government funded research for National Security purposes at our colleges. That led to some language being enacted in last Years National Defense Authorization act. I was astonished to find out we dont track foreign students who are involved in research that is sensitive or classified that occurs on our college campuses. Senator cotton is exactly right. Thats why President Trump a few weeks ago sent home thousands of Chinese National students who had ties to the Chinese Communist party, many of which who were involved in this type of espionage or stealing of research or secrets on college campuses. Weve got to do a whole lot more. I admit that. But senator cotton, myself, were trying to restrict these students from being involved in places where the they can steal our most important secrets related to our National Security. Dagen congressman, great to see you. Thank you for being here this morning. Congressman jim banks. Coming up this morning, Barker Gilmore cofounder and managing partner, john gilmore on the next jobs in america, mike aubrey on rent dropping on the most expensive cities in the country. And in the 8 00 hour we have Mercedes Schlapp on the president s rally on saturday night. Plus lady gagas dad on new york citys phase two reopening, allowing for Outdoor Dining. You dont want to miss it. Yeah yyeah yeah hey, hey dagen this fox business alert, attorney general william barr breaking the news to Maria Bartiromo on sunday morning futures yesterday, saying that china is trying to use 5g as leverage over the United States. Listen. If they start leading in some of these fundamental foundational technologies like 5g, which will be the platform of much of our future manufacturing in the United States, they will have tremendous leverage over the United States if all our industrial practices and our manufacturing practices are built on a platform that they dominate, they will have ultimate leverage over the west. So i think this is a competition for the future. They havent been competing fairly. And the president has confronted this when no one else has. And the American Business community has been a big part of the problem. Because theyre willing ultimately, many of them, to sacrifice the longterm viability of their companies for shortterm profit. So they can get their Stock Options and move into the gulf resort. Thats whats driving some of this. Theyre not taking the longterm view and the national view, the american of maintaining the american strength. Dagen and maria also had the exclusive breaking news that during a Senate Briefing last week there was a proposal that included the United States acquiring Minority Stakes in nokia and erickson as part of a larger plan with the eu government to challenge huawei. Lee carter, where do you stand on this . Lee i think seven out of 10 americans right now believe that we need to stand up to china and bring manufacturing and innovation back to this country and that goes across party lines. And so what i think is really important right now is that were united on this. This isnt just an issue about china although that is certainly important. It is an innovation story. America at its heart is an innovative country. We are proud of that and that is something we need to be focused on, why we are behind the curve on 5g is another story that we need to get our arms around because its not just about huawei and china. Its also about the fact that we havent invested in the innovation here and now were getting caught behind the curve and at the hands of china. And so, yes, we absolutely have to do something right now. This is nonpartisan. This is something we should all agree on and we need to get ahead of it. Dagen Mitch Roschelle, a longtime professional in the Financial Services business, a viewer of the show, i wont name the individual but the person emailed me a short while ago and said can you find someone who believes that privately financed systems can compete with government funded enterprises because the privately funded systems are inherently managed better. The number of your guests who are add vo s advocating a chai e system chinese system where the government aids systems is shocking. Maria if you look at what 5 mitch if you look at what 5g is, look at the railroads when we industrialized the country or the interstates when we industrialized the country, its that sort of infrastructure. Having Foreign Ownership of that infrastructure could be a challenge for us to be competitive. I understand sort of both sides of the argument. Im not a big fan of the government owning private enterprise but i think its vitally important that we get ahead on 5g and dont sort of lead from behind because were never going to play catchup. I think its all about getting 5g infrastructure out there for business and for consumers. Dagen whats the quickest way to do it . Whats the quickest way to compete . Do we have to become more like china in order to stand up to them . And that kind of turns upside down the idea of the United States. Mitch no, i think thats right. I think its going to require the government working with the private sector and getting the capital needed and getting the Regulatory Approvals needed to get 5g across this country. And we have to do it quickly because not only is china doing it in china but theyre doing it around the world. Dagen right. Cheap technology prices, they spy on you.

Attorney for the Southern District of new york Geoffrey Berman announcing hes leaving office hours after william barr said President Trump fired the powerful prosecutor. All this came after berman disputed barrs earlier claim that he was stepping down, refused to step down, all this transpired in a letter to berman. Barr says because you declared you have no intentions of resigning, i asked the president to remove you as of today and he has done so. Senator Lindsey Graham says he wont move forward with replacing Geoffrey Berman until he receives approval from senators Chuck Schumer and kirstin gillibrand. Joining me now is senior judicial analyst, judge andrew napolitano. We have to to point out it was within the president s power and right to fire berman. Hes a judicial appointment, never nominated or confirmed by the senate and this was on the up and up. What do you make of certainly it was certainly messy over the weekend. Well, good morning, dagen. Its always a pleasure to be with you. Messy to say the least. There is a disputed authority about whether the president can fire a u. S. Attorney who is appointed by the judges in the district as opposed to nominated by the president and confirmed by the senate. The problem is there are two statutes by congress, one saying when you have been appointed by the judges you have that job until someone replaces you who has been nominated by the president , confirmed by the senate. The other says the president can fire any u. S. Attorney he wants. So i almost wish that geoff berman challenged this and the courts ruled with clarity. There are many u. S. Attorneys in the United States as we speak who are doing a very good job who have not been nominated by the president or confirmed by the senate but appointed by the judges in the district, including new jersey which is the Third Largest u. S. Attorneys office in the country many as for the messiness of it, when the president was asked on his way to tulsa on saturday night why did he fire bill barr forgive me, when he was asked why did you fire geoff berman, he said he didnt know anything about it. There doesnt appear to be a written document signed by the president firing him. I think he decided the best thing to do for the office is to resign. He has resigned. He has been replaced by his number two person, a person of like thinking, deeply embedded in the investigation investigate office is carrying on. The president indicated whom he will nominate to replace him, a person with no prosecutorial experience. I dont think that person will be confirmed by the senate because of the comment you that pointed out from the chair of the judiciary committee, that hes not going to consider a nomination that doesnt have the approval of Chuck Schumer and kirstin gillibrand. I cant imagine they will give that approval. Were left with an office that a little bit demoralized. Its the premier Prosecutorial Service in the United States. Its older than the Justice Department itself. It may be it may be investigating the president s personal lawyer who once had that office, rudy germanotta. It may be rudy giuliani. It may be investigating other people that the president doesnt want investigated. We wont know that unless and until they drop an investigation and announce it or they charge somebody. Dagen a couple quick things, Chuck Schumer called on President Trumps intended nominee, jay clayton, to withdraw his name. I use the phrase on the up and up. What i meant was that its within related to my question, its within the president s power to fire this individual. We dont know what frankly know behind the scenes what motivated bill barr to remove Geoffrey Berman or attempt to remove Geoffrey Berman from the job. But to put an exclamation point on this, there is no expectation that any of the cases currently being investigated in the Southern District of new york would go away and we certainly would find out if that ever happened. Thats exactly correct. And thats you know, initially, i mentioned new jersey, this is initially when they asked geoff berman to resign, they said hell be replaced temporarily by your colleague in newark, the u. S. Attorney in new jersey. Not nominated by the president , not confirmed by the senate, but appointed by the Federal District court judges in new jersey. Well, that violates the law. The law clearly says when the u. S. Attorney leaves for whatever reason, and no matter how he got there or she got there, the u. S. Attorneys replaced by the number two person. So the number two person, the acting u. S. Attorney, his name is escaping me, female, well continue to investigate and well continue to operate that office, much as it has been done. If this looks like political interference, if it looks like bill barr is trying to stop a bone fide fbi u. S. Attorney investigation, you can only get away with so many of those before the roof falls in. Dagen audrey strauss, judge. A great woman, great lawyer, universally respected among fbi agents and federal prosecutors in the United States. Thank you for helping me memory loss this morning. Dagen and thank you for helping me always. Because again, its live tv and we do hours and hours and hours of it every day. So judge, great to see you. As always. Judge andrew napolitano.

Dagen, back to you. Dagen thank you so much, cheryl. Cheryl casone. Covid19 forcing millions of americans to work from home. Online privacy becoming an even more important part of doing business. The demand for lawyers with data privacy and Cyber Security backgrounds now growing with many positions paying into the seven figures. Joining me now, Barker Gilmore cofounder and managing partner, john gilmore. John, youre essentially a head hunter for attorneys. Tell us about these jobs and how your company is recruiting. Well, the jobs have been growing steadily actually since probably 2018 and what we find is that any of these instances after, for example, the financial crisis, we had a boom where we were looking for chief compliance officers for corporations, building their compliance departments amid the new regulations. What were seeing now is work from home is opening up a lot of security potential breach areas and were seeing Companies Responding to it. We have been finding the need for chief privacy counsel, chief privacy officers and as they build their organizations underneath them, they look for lawyers who have backgrounds in security and data. So its not an easy search for us because the supplys low, the demand is high and needless to say its raising the rates for compensation. Dagen Mitch Roschelle . Mitch good morning. Well, i guess one of the questions i have for you is the skills gap because you touched on something, which is data privacy, Cyber Security. Are we seeing sort of across the board a big skills gap where were not training professionals and sort of nonprofessionals for the jobs of the future . Thats a great question. Actually, interesting enough that there is no clear path to someone that has this background. They tend to stumble into it from a mentor or some experience along the way. So we see for example intellectual property lawyer thats deep into technology, all of a sudden get routed into data privacy and security, or we maybe have a litigator thats doing some internal investigations after a compliance breach that tends to form a passion for the industry and make a route that way. So there is no clear path from the start. You dont go to law school and say i want to be a data privacy and security lawyer. Its really as experiences come their way, and they tend to dig into it a little deeper that someone ultimately becomes a really solid data privacy and security lawyer. Dagen lee carter . Lee im really curious, we talked about the skills gap but also you say its really hard to recruit for these. What exactly kind of experience are you recruiting from and what kind of jobs did they have before . I mean, unfortunately for the industry itself, as recruiters were playing a bit of musical chairs. We go out and sell the opportunity. So we find people who actually have accomplished what they needed from a skill set standpoint and leadership standpoint, take one from one company, bring to another. Again, with the compensation going up and the opportunity for the person of to have a seat at the table with the executive team. That draws them in. What we need to have is more people at the Junior Lawyer stage and good mentorship in the law firms that are doing the training to achieve the demand. When the demand increases even further as things progress from covid, were going to have a bit of a problem. Its going to be the people that can afford the best, the very best, will be able to get them because theyll recruit them away from another company and some companies will definitely struggle to attract talent. Dagen john, thank you so much for being here. John gilmore. Pleasure. Thank you very much for having me.

Dagen real estate plunging, rerental prices, the most expensive cities in the country now a lot more affordable, rents dropping significantly as more people move out of town. New york city, san francisco, boston and san jose, the priceyest places to live in the u. S. All seeing rent declines compared to a year ago. Landlords are offering perks, like peloton bikes and months of living for free. Joining us right now, former hgtv host, mike audrey. In new york city, i know this is going on in other places, there are moving trucks up and down every block, every weekend and you can see the empty apartments and you can see rents dropping. Whats the overall impact of that in the coming months . Listen, dagen, i think if you start looking at this, its not just residential, its residential and commercial. Really what weve seen is covid19 has sort of leveled the Playing Field between urban centers and the suburbs. Even before the virus was out there, i think what we saw was millennial household formation had begun a shift away from urbanization because i think millennials were looking for schools and backyard barbecues. Covid19 e exacerbated that andi think that now as people are trying to get a little bit more space, i think that workplaces are seeing that you dont necessarily have to be in a certain location in order to be efficient. I think that you are now seeing that shift and that shift i think is going to be pretty destructive on residential and commercial landlords in urban centers. Dagen certainly here in new york city it was the coronavirus lockdown and people asked the question why am i paying 5,000 a month to rent 500 square foot apartment when the night life and the city itself is the reason that i live here and i cant go to a museum, cant go to a show, i cant go in a bar or restaurant in a normal way and eat. And then you throw in not the protests, but the looting and the vandalism and the general sense of lawlessness in this city in particular, and my question is rents are plunging g and youre seeing it. When do actual sale prices follow . Because the amount you can rent an apartment for is the central calculation of what youre willing to pay to buy the same property. Sure. I mean, listen, i think this. I think that were already beginning to see that to some extent in urban centers. I mean, the reality is, you know, you talked about culture, restaurants, bars, things like that. What actually keeps people in cities . I think its jobs. Thats the tether. And if you dont have to be in a work space, do you really have to be in that city . I think its an interesting time. I think as we look at the next two to three years, as companies begin to evolve, if new york city and Silicon Valley and places like that dont start to offer tax abatement for big corporations, youre going to continue to see this exodus to southern cities like charlotte, austin, nashville, places like that. Dagen exodus from new york city to, say, florida, if theres one thing that attracts people its jobs. One thing that drives them away is a downward spiral in terms of what you get for the amount that youre paying in taxes. The more people leave your tax base flees for the south or texas or nevada and to cover the skyhigh spending in, say, new york city, they have to continually raise taxes and it becomes this downward financial spiral and youre already beginning to see that. You are. I mean, listen, from a commercial standpoint, when you talk about commercial tenants, i think the days of having newsstands and bodega and gyms isnt going to cut it anymore. I want you to think about how do you attract commercial tenants to stay in the buildings. I think you need something more aggressive. I think youre looking at free parking, child care for free, sort of wellness concepts for employees that are coming into those buildings. When you look at it from a residential standpoint, like you said, peloton bikes, but i think that this idea of sign the line type of gifts that used do be a luxury are going to be become a necessity in order for landlords to stay alive. Dagen i dont want a peloton bike for my 500 square foot apartment. I want cheaper rent. One thing that smells bad that real estate owners are doing is theyre withholding inventory. They dont publish it and make it public. They try to make it look like there arent as many vacancies in the city. Theyre trying to hide the fact that people are running for the hills or the beaches or anywhere but new york city. Mike aubrey, good to see you. Thanks.

Its a big deal. Well see if he can go the distance. Dagen youve been to the belmont, havent you, mitch . Mitch i have been to the belmont. It is a lot of fun, not when its raining, though. Its not a fun place to be when its raining. Dagen it gets messy. Shall we say. Speaking of messy, take a safety sip, hard seltzer maker crook and maker is offering face masks with a little flap for your straw so you can drink and keep your face covered. Its called the taste mask. Mitch, what do you think of this . Mitch well, theres two things there. Theres the entire hard seltzer craze which im in favor of but it is before 5 00. The other thing is, lets just talk about masks in general. My observation is, if youre going to wear them, wear them the right way and having a little pouch that you can get a straw through just seems to defeat the purpose of having the mask in the first place. And as people get out more and more, im seeing some really bad mask habits. So if youre going to wear them, wear them. If youre not going to wear them thats a whole other discussion. I dont think a face flap is the right answer there. Dagen my favorite, i would say at least onethird if not more of the people Wearing Masks around new york city its most people wear them. Its below their nose. It only covers their mouth. Okay. Were not going to get upset about that. But lee, does the polling still break down among Political Parties of who is in favor of masks and who isnt . Lee yes. Its baffling to me. The polling around the coronavirus, our behaviors, about going back out, going to restaurants, Wearing Masks, it divides completely on party lines and i think a lot of it is, as much as people are saying its about the i think its about our philosophy on life. I think a lot of republicans believe in they have the right to make these decisions for themselves and thats what it comes down to, whether or not theyre going to say they are going to do it or they believe in safety. Its a different philosophy. But absolutely on almost every measure when you look at covid polling, it is completely divided by a huge number along party lines. Dagen i just dont like being told what to do. By anybody. Lee exactly. Dagen im a mask wearer. Im a religious mask wearer, just to clarify. Lee me too.

Thank you so much President Trump back on campaign trail the president talking about holding that rally in tulsa over the weekend, first since the coronavirus pandemic, that crowd was much smaller than expected, cheryl went over numbers, it was Tulsa Fire Department estimate that just over 6,000 people attended the rally about 6200. President trump talked about a variety of subjects including his 2020 opponent, joe biden. Joe biden, about is not the leader of his party. Joe biden is a helpless puppet of the radical left. And he is not radical left i dont think he knows what he is anymore. But he was never radical left. He is controlled by radical left. I watched intrier rally on Greg Gutfield show for live reaction 10 00 saturday night, President Trump is going to arizona i believe wisconsin this week, to that point, tom bevan real clear politics average how president is polling in critical swing states that he won, in 2016. Joe biden, is leading, in wisconsin, michigan pennsylvania florida, arizona. Only in North Carolina among critical states is President Trump ahead only by 6 10 of a percentage point. Yeah look the polls have not gen good for donald trump over the last couple weeks, and and they are looking to try and turn that around o obviously, still long time for election trump is at lowest level of support in Real Clear Politics National average down 41 since last year almost record low definitely suffered what the president wants to do is durn this from of a referendum of him will handling of Coronavirus Crisis protests into a choice ultimately will be a choice between, him and joe biden paint painting joe biden as tool puppet of radical left see whether that works or not because even as president admitted joe biden is not radical but he is you know the leader of a party that is that does have a radical base we are seeing that play out in cities across the country so there is residence there ultimately trump wants this a choice not a referendum right now looking like voters seeing it will as referendum. Thank you so much let me bring in trump 2020 campaign Senior Adviser former white house Senior Adviser for strategic communications, Mercedes Schlapp, mercedes just to focus quickly on the rally, in tulsa you got some rallies that will be coming up in weeks, and months. It if somebodys job to manage expectations, and to make sure if you are going to come out say we expect 100,000 people he to be there, and you couldnt even come close to filling that one arena. Who is responsible for that . And will they have a job in a week about . You know i got to tell you i was over at the event, and the enthusiasm was great the energy was great. You know there was some factors that played in, for example, there was portfolios that blocked the entrance we are getting anecdotes of individuals who he couldnt even get through the perimeter area, to get into the rally itself. So you know we had our own personal my motherinlaw, my sisterinlaw nephew trying to get also come from wichita, kansas were very concerned about the protesters. There, and there would be potential riots they decided to not join us at a rally i think there was real concerns i think for several weeks there was also conversations about the coronavirus and any spikes of cases in that area. That was week after week after week i just feel that for normally we know trump rallies are very family are oerntdz lots of families come out, and i think, look real concerns about what what the protesters were going to look like weve seen it played out in different cities, where they turned violent, so dagen i know the protests to be clear in tulsa were, issue peaceful, he protests and plenty of reporters did not see people being blocked from entering. And i am happy pleaded tweeting a he photo i have photo happy to share we saw protesters block an entrance not allowing the Trump Supporters to get come through, so that is accurate i am happy to send you photos so you see it. Dagen sure mercedes i want to ask about the whole if somebodys job that you make sure that people are at these rallies or that you manage the expectations going into it. Want this is this is campaigning 101 how do you prevent this from happening . Look i think you he ne we worked very closely with the local officials at state officials as well Grassroots Team i think there was several factors that contributed to what we saw there, but i will say that we had over 10 million views on line, truly remarkable, and i would take a trump rally over a Joe Biden Rally every day, because there is no such thing as a Joe Biden Rally, because his events are one where may be seven people might show up. So there is it is very clear that there is an enthusiasm we have seen two to one, where the Trump Supporters those who are supporting the president are activated ready to go we recruited over 1. 2 million volunteers since mid march 5 very telling what we are going to see as we go through next couple months, in terms of them, building our ground remains suring we are making the calls we need to get people out rallies are part what have we do but about grous ground game vote by 23406b. You tooking to tom bevan about this critical swing states President Trump won trailing joe biden in realclearpolitics average poll wisconsin michigan pennsylvania, by the way, those three he won by less than 78,000 votes, florida and arizona ahead slightly. In North Carolina, same time Vice President joe biden did out raise the Trump Campaign by seven Million Dollars Trump Campaign does have a lot more cash on hand, but what are you doing to turn those two things around it . Is rallies and then what else . Well first of all, if i look back at 2016 at this point out of the 261 polls that we had during that time, the president was only leading by 16, so think about that, so guess what Hillary Clinton did not become president of the United States we are confident in internal numbers when president is up against a defined joe biden, you know the president wins. Obviously, joe biden is focused on building out transition team, we are focused on continuing to build a strong infrastructure of strong ground game, to ensure we get voters out we are working on the per saidble voters always our goal as well when it comes to the you fundraising nebraskas yes cash on hand is very important we have 265 Million Dollars cash on hand, it would take joe biden, he would have to out raise us by one Million Dollars every single day to try to even catch up to that number. One thing number to look at while joe biden has a lot of big dollar numbers in our case we have seen that it is the small donations, online, that really help show the enthusiasm for the president. Just one day alone we you you fundraiseed 14 Million Dollars from small dollar donations on line very significant. Dagen great to see you. Thank you for being here i appreciate it. Thank you so much.

One thing i am wondering about for individual investor out there is there a way to hedge since the markets run up so much, in dagen talked about the some of the breadth of that as well there is a way for an individual, investor to hedge what could be an inevitable turn around to the downside in the future . Well we have seen actually individual investors outperform many stocks throughout april and may many professional investors as we know extremely bearish individual investors coming in at that time, april may, rally even through june, so individual have been stocks taking a riskier bet going for value stocks i think what were seeing down days the largest tech, seem almost attached i am not going to cash but the stay offest spot we have seen continued money pouring into fed, continues to rally we see essentially, when risk on Small Cap Value markets soared we saw in america extremely well, so far in june we have seen Small Cap Values do well seeing some value stocks pick up, when investors are nervous about the markets we are seeing traditional covid work from home stocks do well gen ron moderna so forth so on i think, stayathome has done extremely well, because they take name brand stock and, actually, outperformed the indices.

Coming up unrest across america attorney general william barr speaking with marw about immunity for police, and concerns about officers walking off the job, that is next. Dagen a qualified immunity for police, called into question, colorado now one of the first states to allow citizens to similar cum vent federal roeksz allowing residents to sue police in state court, maria speaking with attorney general bill barr, on sunday morning futures, about whether officers should have qualified immunity in in alleged cases of misconduct. Should the police have a qualified immunity. Yes, i think generally in our history, immunity used to be absolute. And then they dropped it down to qualified to permit some losses egregious cases would it a qualified immunity some would not take the job as a Police Officer we would essentially be doing away with Police Departmented. Dagen do you think other states would follow is this a federal issue, because again a qualified immunity has been backed by the Supreme Court of the United States, continually, beginning in the 1960s. This is a really, really tough issue, in this moment, because yous the sentiment shifted so much over last few weeks, 75 americans polling support allowing dagen i needed allowing to sue, for misconduct of police, this is something that is if they were to review this i think would be something unpopular with a lot of American Public and i think something that would as an advancing to biden and his campaign i think walking a very, very are in a line here making the argument very much as to why we need o to support police because on the other hand go, through each by themselves, 50 americans also say we should not be reducing budgets to the police so i think there has to be a case made around this, much different than is being made today. Dagen there are also the issue of Police Resignations maria attorney general barr also talked about offices cross the country leaving their post amid ongoing protests. Calls to Defund Police ilhan omar said minneapolis want is quote rot tone the root what is impact of this pushback on Law Enforcement . Are you worrying about resignations . The cops walking off the job. Yes even before this happened, i was speaking out about how the job of being a policeman in the United States these days is toughest job in the United States under a lot of pressure i was concerned even before these pressures that we were having difficulty maintaining the levels of police we need in our cities retaining them. And obviously, this environment where there demonized, you know, will deter a lot of people from continuing to seven as police i am concerned Police Department the effect they may pull back some enforcement activities not take risks i think could lead as led in other situations increase in violent crime, and more deaths. The you know, i understand an event like minneapolis, and why it struck such a you know a anchored in the African American community. Tom what do you think. I think exactly right we have seen some resignations minneapolis, in atlanta a dangerous situation, when you have, folks that are either pulling back from controlling areas or walking off job we ran a please on realclearpolitics a couple weeks ago by a law officer behavioral said no need to o i abolish police we are done a Third Generation Law Enforcement officer this job svnt worth doing anymore said i am afraid that mentality is spreading among Police Departments around the country thiegs why we have to do reform unfortunately we are not talking past each other folks on left want to Defund Police completely may not allow reforms we need to happen to keep these folks on the job because, i think attorney general barr is exactly right the hardest job in america jay i had a friend left los angeles Police Department after l.

Coming back with new safety protocols, joining knee now being new york city Restaurant Owner and lady gagas dad Joe Germanotta good to see you this morning what are plans for todaywhere what are you up to . Well, you know, it is it is in known. Basically the answer. I mean we are hoping that we will be able to fill outside, keep it full if turn the tables a couple times we will have a good shot making things happen. Dagen that talk about the struggle during the shutdown, joe. Were you able to get paycheck protection grant from the government . Talk about your employees, too. About bringing people back into the restaurant for this outdoor reopening. Well i closed two weeks used opportunity to paint clean up restaurant get organized. Then i received a ppp loan a godsend hired back Key Employees theyve been with me some of them with me 8, 9 years i needed to take care of them. Initially before the ppp money i paid outofpocket i wanted to keep them going, and the ppp money, really, really helped out, because all we had to do is cover food costs, and, you know, the rent, you know the lights. And that really helped. Sale volume, on takeout delivery, really wasnt sufficient to survive. It it equated to half a day a week for me, so it was a really while money helped it wasnt enough to the sale werent enough to keep business going on its own. Dagen what about being open outdoors is that enough . Do you need more assistance at some point like talking to people in political power about that . You know. Its unknown, ive got 20 seats out front, i have another 20 seats on we have a patio in the pack. So with those two if i can turn tables a couple times, i should be able to break even. It is a matter of the people coming out, i mean i happen to think there is some pentup demand to get out to restaurants get out of the house i think people have money the consumers have been socking it away eating at home cooking at home. Soings i dont know if i need an extension on ppp. It is if it is available, i am sure we will take it. Dagen joe, what about in the neighborhood . What do you see because you were talking about the pentup demand. I was people out in the street just getting takeout margaritas, food all in Hells Kitchen yesterday what is new york city feel like to you right now in terms of just a number of people you see is in the street general attitude and posture swagger of lifelong new yorkers. It is growing it is growing, right when pandemic started, it was very, very quiet it was eerie. Because you know, the streets were all empty, there wasnt any traffic on columbus avenue. Lincoln center had closed. You know, a good part of our business. We have a great neighborhood business. So local. But without the bar it slowed business down. Of and you know not having seating i am on a side street, it really you know, are really did not it really did not get up to the volume that we needed to do. And so what we did was we started selling wines by the bottle selling mimosas take a picnic pack to the park the park was packed you know every weekend looks like jones beach. Dagen you mentioned Lincoln Center that i know that the new York City Ballet and announced few days ago he canceling whole fall season including nutcracker fiveweek run of nutcracker that i think was a hit home for a lot of people objection this is going to last a lot longer in terms of the shutdown here in the city than people expected, on a happier note, i hope you had a wonderful fathers day, anything special from your daughters . I did i got my my daughter stephanie aka lady gaga sent she a box of orioles, my other daughter natalie, she is uptown in new york city taking me for a long bike ride. And it was a great day. It was a great day, this you know opening up, we had to work because it was kind of a scramble we have to put together the paper menus, get everything ready. So all in all if i could dagen i would like to thank a couple people that helped make this happen. Dagen uhhuh. Gayle brewer, the manhattan borough president Helen Rosenthal counsel Linda Rosenthal Assembly Member lastly good buddy scot stringer, more importantly, the new york city whos hospitality alliance, Andrew Robert bookman essentially players getting this done. Dagen i think everybody in political power, in leadership, he everybody in the city is just heartbroken at what particularly restaurants have had to go through will go through. Really quickly before we go, joe, have they given you any sense of the next phase when that might start of where you might actually be able will to have people in the restaurant spaced out, of course, but when that could happen . A well, i think we are all hoping by you know end of this month middle july would be beneficial august months typically slower but, as i said, people there is a lot of pentup demand. I think we are going to see big jump in business. Dagen joe best of luck to you always. Thank you for being here. Thank you dagen. Dagen i will swing by. Maybe we will see you later.

Dagen fox business alert attorney general bill barr breaking news in exclusive interview with Maria Bartiromo on sunday morning futures. Saying American Businesses are prioritizing profit over patriotism. Thecht been competing fairly, and they havent been competing fairly president confronted this in one else has American Business community has been a big part of the problem, because their they are willing ultimately, many of them to sacrifice long time viability of their countries for shortterm profit. So they can get Stock Options and move into golf resort driving some not taking a longterm view the national view, american of maintaining american was talking with one money manager he said i am not going to call good guys and bad guys, it is not my role to call out good guys and bad guys, so, yeah, the growth is in china and this is where i want to invest. You know what were not speaking german today because the American Business in the past didnt think that way. Steer still living in the United States all the privileges the benefits, the stability and rule of law, and the ability to profit as they do, both as companies and individuals, comes from strength of this country. Dagen this has been going on decades, quite frankly, politicians righted left and center onboard, with jobs being shifted to china. Yeah, it is really a dollars and cents issue, as attorney general mentioned which is things can beminding more inexpensivenessly in china pandemic Economic Issues prior to this trade issues of the administration brought up will shine a bright light on trade issues, and this Global Supply chain i can tell you companies are taking a very, very hard look at supply chain trying to do as much domestic sourcing as they possibly can the challenges cost structure here versus cost structure overseas. Tom bevan politically this is in President Trumps wheelhouse joe biden has to push back on that ultimately answer questions about his son hunters business dealings there. Yeah, definitely part of the campaign this is no question whether you like donald trump or dont like donald trump i think this might be his biggest hifl legislation we sleepwalkinging through phase with china the fact now revising that we have become so dependent on china for being rare earth were minerals are pharmaceutical components is dangerous to National Security so bringing all these things back home, is is now seen as not only you know, are is almost an im pertive, one key part of legislation as president of the United States. Dagen considered really kind of one of three legs of the campaign would be china, the economy, and law and order. Lee. No question to defining policies important to know something American People want across the aisle there are so you 71 are saying Companies Need to pull back on manufacturing in china, 70 americans have unfavorable opinion of china, 80 americans wants more american innewte less reliance on china across the board needs to be addressed not going to be easy it is political, and there is no question about it earn people have to make decision what they want to do come o november this is a dedefining policy of the Trump Campaign thank you.

Dagen tearing down monuments he protesters grow a statue of Theodore Roosevelt splay of new York City Museum of in article for hailtdz will be removed President Trump wrote ridiculous dont do it this comes people taking it upon themselves protesters vandals to avalanche status corroborative the country pull them down one of George Washington portland or carbon pulled to the ground the museum is saying about Teddy Roosevelt statue decision was based on the statue because of the hierarchical composition roosevelt flanks bid african man, and a native american man even spokesman for the family, is getting behind this, because they dont feel like reflects Teddy Roosevelts legislation it is time to move the statue and move forward. Said a great grandson of 26th president trustee of the museum. I think it is important that we we look at these casebycase basis families come toward this a different thing that were seeing across the country, i think one of the things really important is that we dont forget our history, that we honor our history we dont throw out baby with bathwater sort of thing i understand this is a moment people want to manage change see change in future happen doesnt mean we can ignore past i think walk a very fine line obviously, there is a lot of here nor. I agree with lee, i mean that is separate situation, and it is sort of ironic he because Teddy Roosevelt was one of our most trust busting progressive president conservationists all that should be honored the way should it be done if statutes are mood of you sign a petition you dont go out as mob rip them down the fact going on is a sign of discultural mad december. Teddy roosevelt was Police Commissioner new york city from 1895 to 1897. May or may not have anything to do with it a picture of Teddy Roosevelt in the background i figured would i look that fact up. Museum named in hall of biodiversity in recognition of conservation legislation there are a number of buildings in the museum, but, again, it is this is a decision, by the museum, like it or not. Because the composition of this one statue very different from George Washington in monumental in baltimore vandalized offer tonight or statues far andwide torn down if a city wants to remove a statue that should be a collective decision, more after the break.
