Elizabeth thanks for joining us. Youre watching the fox business network. The face falcon launch would be first time in nine years, actually two u. S. Astronauts would have launched from u. S. Soil. Is it will mick history when it does launch this saturday. We have retired fourstar general jack keane. So great to have you on again. This would have been the first private Company Launch with nasa spacex involved. What is your reaction when you saw this happening with nasa and spacex . That is historic in and of itself. I think the private Public Partnership is ideal in moving forward. There is so much that the private sector is already doing in space and makes just a lot of sense to partner with the United States government. And it is wonderful to see the United States back into space again launching out of the United States. Well wait three days before well actually do it, possibly on sunday and were quite used to it now for an entire generation plus the tempermental weather we have in florida to be sure. But i think it is very significant, liz. I thought it was a huge strategic mistake on the part of the Obama Administration to back away from our Space Program and essentially shut it down after president bush had invested for five years in going back to the moon. I think it was a disappointing lack of imagination on the Obama Administrations part. I mean here we have the oldest and most open democracy in the world that was leading the world in Space Exploration and thats who you want, the International Community wants us to do that. Why . Because we have the right set of values to do that. Were doing it to benefit all mankind, not just the United States. We know sadly, at some point, it is coming very soon, space will be very weaponized and it is our adversaries who are forcing us to do that but this is about helping mankind in general. Were on the right path here. It will be historic. We have got to go to the moon and then go to mars. That is the kind of imagination that i think the American People will welcome, not to say of the Huge International prestige and pride that comes with the United States leading in Space Exploration. Elizabeth you know the president promised to reassert americas push back into space. He signed a nearly 740 billiondollar defense spending bill back in december. It created a space force. 6th branch. He was roundly mocked, ridiculed for the space force. The president says it is a matter of national security. Youre talking about vision looking up and out to to the sts and broaden our look into new space heroes. Nasa administrator Jim Bridenstein said quote were launching american astronauts from american rockets and american soil. It. There is no doubt about it. Probably more people will witness it than normal because were sheltering down even though it will be a weekend. I have seen one of these launches myself years ago, you know with, humans in it. Ill tell you what, it is a gripping experience. It is absolutely thrilling. I cant imagine what it is like to sit on top of a rocket and be blown off of a launchpad into space and the adrenaline that must be inside of our astronauts in doing that. It is absolutely amazing. I give him so much credit, for putting their life in the hands of literally hundreds of scientists and engineers when they sit there and anticipate that rocket first lifts them off the launchpad. What is moment it is. What a moment for america to witness that event again. As we probably got a little used to it in the past. We got a whole new generation here that can get excited about space. An youre right, the space force has electrified young peoples imagination in america. And some of that certainly developed years ago by hollywood and others in terms of the magic of it, but yeah, this is harsh reality. We need a space force to deal with our adversaries who fully intend to use space to bring harm to america. So is cold eyed, military capability that we need to have. Elizabeth but you make a great point that, you know, america once flew nine crude missions with astronauts to outer space. When jfk set hearts and minds alight, set them on fire with the vision of going into outer space and inspired and as you said electrified generations of children to come, about being space heroes. It happened under Richard Nixon and ensuing administrations to get america and entire world lifted up out of whatever milieu, whatever were doing right now to look to outer space and have that vision and imagination. Youre right i think it galvanizes hearts and minds to step out of ourselves to look to new horizons, right, general . Yeah. We got night as a business proposition. The thought was Previous Administration did a cost benefit analysis. We had some setbacks and horrific debts to be sure, what is the cost. But we saw that same administration launch hundreds of billions of dollars into shove ready programs that never materialized. Lack ever imagination drove that decision. Not everything was dollars and cents. If it was dollars and cents, the United States, explorers wouldnt have come here. They themselves at risk to find the new world and courage they had to do Something Like that. This is america at its best. I have always believed when we took on space as an exploration and succeeded so magnificently doing it. It is good to see us back. Elizabeth general, great to have you back on the show. Were going to see you again later in the show. Well talk about what is going on with iran moving into venezuela fuel oil, possibly military hardware. Hezbollah and hamas may be now active in venezuela. Well talk to you later in the show. You come back in just a 2nd. General jack keane there. Lets bring in former nasa astronaut jose hernandez. Were excited to him on the show. Astronaut hernandez was Mission Specialist in the International Space station where the falcon 9 is headed. He is the first nasa astronaut coming from a mexican immigrant family. Great to have you on, jose. Your reaction to the spacex launch with two nasa astronauts . What was your first reaction when you saw this incredible feat . First of all, good afternoon, liz, and thanks for having me on the program. I know what the astronauts are going through because i too suffered a launch delay due to bad weather back in in 2009 on stsof 129 on Space Shuttle discovery. It is a disappointing but the run being joke you train for so many years, twoday delay, threeday delay will not make much difference. So what you do have is, though you do have a lot of adrenaline and it takes a while for that, for you to calm down once you get off the ship and say, hey, we have to do it again on saturday. Elizabeth yeah. You wonder how you will sleep for two more nights with all that adrenaline. Spacexs elon musk praised the two senate heroes robert beck ken and douglas hurry for nerves of steel, they were cool as cue bumper cucumbers. This crew of dragon capsule sits atop a falcon 9 rocket. A Million Pounds of propellant, quickly in three minutes hits supersonic speed breaks through mach one, mach two, mach three, breaking through the sound barrier, breaking the speed of sound. What was it like to be traveling like that, what was it like to be on the International Space station . It was great. You go from zero Miles Per Hour at tminus zero seconds, eight 1 2 minutes later youre traveling over 17,500 miles an hour, experiencing 3gs of force. It is like a 500pound gorilla stepping on your chest. When you reach main engine cut off atminutes, 30 seconds, the 500pound gorilla disappears and now youre floating in space. It is the best eticket ride disney could ever hope for. Elizabeth jose tell us what it means for you, for your family to immigrate into america from mexico . It was, its a great story. Im first generation american. I consider myself an american. Im proud to say that i was born in stockton, california where im living here now. We were a typical migrant farm working family. My family used to come to work nine months in picking fruits and vegetables and go to the home state in central mexico for three months. During that time period i was born here in california. We finally settled in california and due to this great Education System we have here in the u. S. I was able to follow the american dream. My father taught me that hard work and education is always a good combination. And thats what i put forth. And ever since i saw gene cernan walk on the surface of the moon i knew i wanted to be as a 10yearold i wanted to be an astronaut. Elizabeth well you did it, jose. Thank you so much for coming on the show. Great to have you on, sir. Youre an american hero. Thanks for the service to the country. Great to have you. Next up, thank you so much. Well take you to what is going on now in the race for the white house. Joe biden answering back, firing back at criticism that he has been hiding in a basement but he basically is saying yes, i have been and its working.

Newlyrevealed Text Messages obtained by investigative journalist and folks news contributor john solomon, shows former fbi Counter Intelligence agent peter strzok, lisa page, fbi lawyer, former fbi lawyer, and then fib fbi assistant director william prestop worried about sharing information about the trump probe with the Obama Administration. Strategic analysts are now asking, does the concern in these Text Messages reflect their concern that a president barack obama had ill will and negative feelings towards Michael Flynn . Was that the reason the investigation into Michael Flynn was kept open when the fbi wanted to shut it down . Lets break all of this down with former fbi assistant, Deputy Assistant director danny coulson. Danny, your reaction to the news about the Text Messages. Great to have you on. What is your take about this . The take is they shouldnt been talking to them about it anyway. The case agents said there was no case and strzok told them not to close it. Was it the context, after the white house, before or during their contact with the white house . So there is a lot of questions here. The fbis not supposed to be a showandtell organization. Where you run up, say, look what were doing. They were way off the reservation and should have never done that stuff anyway. I have serious concerns about their behavior here and of course in other areas too. Elizabeth lets go through the Text Messages that john solomon got. January third, 2017, peter strzok texted lisa page saying fbi top official William Priestap like us is concerned with oversharing. Doesnt want jim clapper giving cr cuts to the white house. All political. Shows our hand and potentially makes enemies. Seems like peter strzok was referring to the evidence into the investigation into Michael Flynn. Lisa page texts back, yeah, but keep in mind we whether going to put that in the document on friday with potentially larger distribution than just the dni. Peter strzok texts back, should we, particularly to the entirety of the lame duck u. S. Intelligence community with partisan axes to grind . Looks like the comments that strzok is making just shows our hand. You know what i mean . Just seems like, there is a big backstory that the American Voter is not seeing, what was going on with the fbi communicating with the obama white house. Do you think that president barack obama wanted to keep the flynn case open and when the fbi wanted to shut it down . Because he was the one who got flynn fired as his dni back in 2014 . What do you think . What i think is, follow the rules. The rules say the fbi does not talk about pending investigations and there is no other reason to talk about that case except for politics and they were way off the reservation. They were dead wrong and they should have known better. Elizabeth you know, danny, listen to attorney general william barr talk to cbss Catherine Herridge about what happened about top officials at the fbi in the Obama Administration he says were so wedded to the narrative, so aligned and wedded to the narrative about trump russia conspiracy and the probe into Michael Flynn they drove everything to a preset conclusion. Watch this. These are very smart people who were working in the special counsels office and in senior levels of the fbi so what drove them here . Well i think one of the things you have to guard against both as a prosecutor and i think as an investigator is that, if you get too wedded to a particular out come and pursuing a particular agenda, you close your eyes to anything that sort of doesnt fit with your preconception and, i think thats probably the phenomenon were looking at here. Elizabeth danny, your reaction . Totally agree. Follow the evidence. Dont come to a conclusion or some principle and then adapt the evidence to that. Follow the evidence, left it take it where it goes. Then present it to a grand jury, if you got a case you got it. Elizabeth all right. Danny coulson, come back soon. We love having you on. Thanks, appreciate it. Elizabeth okay, next up Gianno Caldwell, fox news political analyst on joe bidens latest big mistake. The story next.

You can count on us. Elizabeth weve got breaking news. A fox business alert. President trump just tweeting out quote, if that fisa bill is passed to night on the house floor, the fisa reform bill i will quickly veto it. Our country has just suffered through the greatest political crime in its history. The massive abuse of the fisa court was a big part of it. Were going to dig deeper into this in coming up in just a bit with republican ben klein. He sits on house judiciary. Lets get back to the 2020 race. Here is joe biden answering back at criticism that he has been campaigning out of a basement, basically saying, yes, i am, and it is working. He is also blaming, joe biden is blaming the radio interviewer charlemagne tha god for bidens statement that black voters aint black if they vote for president trump. Watch this. No, all this stuff about bidens hiding, well you know, the fact of the matter is, it is working pretty well. First of all, you know, i, it was a mistake, number one. And i was smiling when he asked me the question. You know, i, shouldnt have been such a wise guy. He was being a wise guy and i responded in kind. Im prepared to say that i have a record of over 40 years and that im going to beat joe biden. Elizabeth okay. Lets bring in fox news political analyst and author Gianno Caldwell. Can i get your reaction to the joe biden clips . We should point out the last one, there is controversy whether he said im going to beat joe biden. He said im going to be joe biden. We dont know if there is misstatement or not. What do you think of him sort of saying okay too to be campaigning out out of a basemet and pushing back on charlemagne tha god because of the radio interview, what is your reaction to all that . It is bizarre to me that joe biden continues to choose lying and placing blame for other people in my comments. Joe in, my opinion was not joking when he said if you dont vote foreme you aint black. He is very serious. How i know this . This is the internal messaging of the Democratic Party for decades. When i became a conservative many, many years ago, those were the same things i was told by members of the black community and otherwise. So for not one second do i believe that was a joke. I believe that was internal messaging coming out and it is greatly disappointing that this guy is running for president of the United States and this is the way that he thinks. Elizabeth you know, House Majority whip jim clyburn whip said he cringed at joe bidens comment. Here is the thing, gianno. The africanAmerican Voter has correctly selected who wins the presidency, the president ial winner more than half the time since the 1990s. So youre saying, joe biden wasnt joking. This is just what is basically taken as the narrative inside the Democrat Party that maybe other americans dont even realize is going on, that your take . Thats absolutely correct. Many americans, as i say, most white americans probably dont even know this, africanamericans have been the central ones to vote in those who would be the presumptive nominee for the Democratic Party since Jesse Jackson and whats problematic for africanamericans is africanamericans continue to select democrats. They continue to be taken for granted and get nothing for their vote. This is a hard lesson i think africanamericans have been learning for years but theyre really learning it this year. Elizabeth you know, since joe biden started running for president he threatened to physically punch out another voter who questioned joe biden about his basically confusing position on gun rights. He also called a voter fat and a liar, he challenged another voter to an i. Q. Test because that man had the audacity to ask joe biden about joe bidens sons suspect, you know, conflicts of interests, suspected conflicts of interest working for a ukrainian gas company, sitting on the board of it, so you know, you watch joe biden in action, he comes across as maybe the overly angry and feisty. Your take on that . Yeah. This is a problem. This isnt what we should be doing as americans. This isnt what joe biden is doing if he says he is the better individual to the win the presidency. It is incredibly unfortunate, this is where we are and what democrats will have to deal with. Elizabeth gianno, lets switch gears here. I would like to get your reaction tote death of george floyd in minneapolis. He died after being detained by police officers. Video shows george floyd on the ground. An officer kneeling on him. Floyd saying he cant breathe. He later died. Now the fbi is investigating. The mayor of minneapolis is now calling for that dismissed officer to be arrested. Your reaction to the story . You know, this is a really tough one for me, liz, and you say that, because for some africanamericans being black feels like a curse. And, i say that, because, before you know my name, the content of my character, before you know my moral compass, im already considered a threat to so many americans, whether that be while you walk your dog through the park, while jogging down the street, or while you have your knee on my neck and im screaming i cant breathe. This is a problem in this country. For many people are looking for accountability from Law Enforcement and looking for everyone to come together as a country so we can solve this major issue of race in this country and racism. I should say. Elizabeth gianno, we hear you. Gianno, want you to come back on the show. We love having you on. Come back soon . Absolutely i would love to. Thank you so much for this opportunity. Elizabeth sure, we love your inspect and perspective. That is Gianno Caldwell he is a great writer. Next up, there is evidence of iran rapidly increasing its presence in venezuela. Venezuela is in an economic collapse due to the communist dictatorship there. Nicolas maduro the dictator, welcomed arrival of five Iranian Oil Tankers shipping oil to venezuela. Venezuela is opec member nation. We bring retired fourstar general jack keane, he will come back with us to talk about this story. That is next.

There is now clear evidence that iran is rapidly increasing its presence in venezuela. Venezuela is in an economic collapse. Venezuela communist dictator Nicolas Maduro has welcomed the arrival of the first of five Iranian Oil Tankers shipping oil to venezuela. That happened yesterday. Now, the fear is, the presence of hezbollah and hamas operatives may be coming into venezuela as well. Lets welcome back retired fourstar army general jack keane. General, your take on this . Venezuela is paying iran reportedly hundreds of millions of dollars in gold here. In gold bullion. What is your take here . Well clearly the iranians and venezuela have been linked at the hip for some time. Clearly russia, china, cuba are helping venezuela and maduro we know as well. Listen, we have sanctioned iran and we have sanctioned venezuela and the principle commodity involved in both of these countries were sanction something oil. So for the life of me i dont know why over a year ago when we were really cracking down hard on the maduro regime, that we didnt establish a blockade to stop commodities that are going to benefit the regime but yet let humanitarian relief, medicines and food through . That should have been our policy. And we wouldnt be dealing with this reality, that has taken place today. That would have impacted both iran as well as venezuela. Now, so our audience understands iran is only exporting about 10 of what their daily barrel per production rate has been as a result of the sanctions. So those sanctions have been largely very successful. I dont want to diminish of the impact of those but i dont think the sanctions on maduro have been quite as successful as they have been on iran. This is a way to stop it with a blockade. Blockade has implications. International community recognizes it as an act of war but the United States would be using it in a very limited role here. Nonetheless, if youre going to do it, it is 24 7 and it is going to cost us resources to enforce it certainly. Elizabeth general, correct me if im wrong, are u. S. Navy ships now deployed to the region and could there be preserving the option of a blockade or, you know, intercepting the tankers . Will the u. S. Act to do that as you suggest . I dont know. I mean that is a decision the president would make on the advice of his military commanders and also his economic advisors in terms of what is the impact on maduros regime. I mean the thing that we, one of the objectives we have to have here is the reason why maduro has stayed in power despite the protest stations inside this country and without, the military is still loyal to him. He is putting money in the back pocket of leaders. The russians and cubans are very significant in propping up the maduro regime. I do believe to put more pressure elizabeth are you worried, are you worried go ahead. You go ahead. Elizabeth are you worried about hezbollah and hamas coming into venezuela in an even bigger way . They have been in south america for over 10 years now. Certainly that would add to the challenges there but theyre already significant. I mean there is tens of thousands of cuban paramilitary there. There are some of the best russian privatized military firms in their propping up and providing security for maduro personally. So this, yes it would add to the challenge of the problem but in of itself it wouldnt be all that significant because there already is quite a presence from adversaries from inside of venezuela. Elizabeth okay. General, so sorry we ran out of time. I didnt mean to interinterrupt you there, but we had so many questions. General jack keane, thanks for joining us. Come back soon. Good talking to you, liz. Elizabeth well stay on the breaking news that the president is now warning if the house passes the fisa bill, reform bill in its present state right now that he will veto it. Now this is, surveillance tool that the fbi used to wiretap the Trump Campaign, including former Trump Campaign aides carter page. He again says he will veto it.

Verizon knows your customers need to reach you seamlessly. Your team needs to work from different places across many devices. Plus, you want the security trusted by some of the Largest Companies in the world. And thats why you trust us. The most Reliable Network in america. Elizabeth more on the president s tweet that we told you about just a few minutes ago, the breaking news. He tweeted, quote, about that fisa reform bill is passed tonight on the house floor i will quickly veto it. Our country has just suffered through the greatest political crime in its history. The massive abuse of fisa was a big part of it. He has urged House Republicans to vote against this version of the fisa reform act. Again fisa was surveillance tool, the fisa court, fbi used and accused of abusing in order to wiretap the Trump Campaign including former Trump Campaign aide carter page. Bring in republican from virginia. He sits on house judiciary. We welcome congressman ben klein. Congressman, great to have you back on. Your reaction to the president s veto threat here . He is right on target. The fisa process was abused and needs significant reforms. He is leveraging the small reform in the reauthorization of the section of the bill to leverage it for more reforms. He need to do that. I support him in that effort. Elizabeth you know what is behind this is the dojig finding 17 material omissions and an roars in the fbi fisa wiretap applications to the fisa court. You know the story. The fbi doctored and kept 6 like emails, hid from from the fisa court exculpatory evidence that would be more positive about carter page, that he was not a russian agent. They hid from the fisa court major credibility problems with the steele dossier. Steele owes own sources were undercutting and saying it was talk over beers. Cia called it internet rumor. The president is really angry about it. The republicans feel the American People have not understood or gotten the story to this. Your reaction to that . I think this is the tip of the iceberg when you talk about the steele dossier, and the horowitz report rye revealed significant problems in the fisa process. Additional investigations have proven, shown, there are additional problems that need investigating. So well have assistant attorney general durham coming out with a report later this summer. Hopefully that will give the whole story what happened in the 2016 campaign. And then were going to have Rod Rosenstein before Senate Judiciary this week or next week. Elizabeth yeah. That is next week. Thats right. I want you to watch the media on this because the steele dossier according to the dojig has russian disinformation in it. Watch the media reporting on this. Watch. Its clear that mueller is now connecting the dots between a massive obstruction intended to hide the truth. Were about to find out if the new president of other country is going to do what russia wants. This president needs to be impeached. I believe that. I believe there was collusion. Donald trumps done. Hes done. There is no question about it. He has got to know his future looks like its behind bars. We have a treasonous president. Elizabeth congressman, your take on what you just heard the media reporting over the last few years in the trump russia probe, given what we know now about what happened with the steele dossier and more. Your reaction . What we know now the media was being fed or certain individuals in the media at the Washington Post and other sources were given media or given information from individuals like jim comey who were trying to create a narrative about the steele dossier and the validity of the steele dossier when there was really nothing to it in terms of fact all basis to proceed with the investigation. They determined the investigation should have been closed at the end of the Obama Administration but comey and others pushed to have it continued and kept open. Elizabeth congressman ben klein, thank you so much for joining us. Will you come back soon . Absolutely. Thanks. Elizabeth great. Good to have you on. Coming up National Border Patrol Council Vice President art dell cueto is back with us.

George floyd died after being detained by four police officers. The president is now tweeting he will push the fbi to get, at his request, the doj and the fbi, he will get them already well into an investigation. He is saying it is sad about the death of in minnesota of george floyd. He asked for this investigation to be expedited. He greatly appreciates all of the work done by local Law Enforcement. His heart goes out to georges family and friends. He is saying justice will be served. Lets talk you to the border. Turning to mexico. Mexico releasing new statistics showing border violence from drug cartels exploding despite covid lockdown measures. Lets welcome National Border Patrol Council Vice President , he is back with us. He is art dell cueto. Were seeing the imagery of shootouts taking place south of the u. S. Border, from the santa ana, in the wildlife refuge and more. What is your take what is going on there . Whats happening . Well, honestly, liz, first off, thank you for having me on but these criminals, they dont care what else is going on. They play by different rules obviously and its just as violent as it always has been. It has been nonstop and unfortunately we see some of that violence you know, potentially coming across into the United States. Just about a month ago there was a breach from some of the mexican authorities into the United States. That is something that you know, i dont think has been reported or has been talked about i should say and at the same time, the men and women that are out there protecting our nations borders, theyre arresting criminals in the United States, individuals that are smuggling drugs or smuggling humans into the country and they are having a hard time with our own authorities prosecuting them. So that is something i think that, you know, the doj has to look into also. And, i talked to a lot of the agents. Some of these stories are as simple, catching individuals with various people in the trunk, that theyre smuggling into the u. S. So, they have the evidence. They have the individual that is doing the smuggling admitting to doing it, theyre not getting prosecuted in the United States either. Elizabeth well, let me back up. First of all, you said that i think you said there was a breach by mexico into the u. S. Involving something to do with the drug cartels. Are the drug cartels taking advantage of the chaos from covid19 . Because the w. H. O. And Panamerican Health organization saying latin america is new global epicenter, more cases than the u. S. And europe. Are drug cartels taking advantage of it . Why you do say the authorities are not responding to what is going on . I think there are various thing im talking about, right . Obviously the drug violence in mexico has not stopped. They dont care about the covid19. They want to get their product across and make money. When it comes to the breach, there is obviously cartels constantly coming in between our nations borders bringing drugs into the United States. There was mexican authorities that accidentally had come into the United States a couple of weeks ago. Media i dont think reported anything about that. Now on a separate note, the United States Border Patrol agents are out there arresting individuals for committing crimes such as smuggling and introducing drugs and theyre having a hard time with our own authorities through the ausa, the u.
