Michael flynn and former Russian Ambassador sergey kislyak. Judicial watchs tom fitton is with us tonight. He will be with us for an extended period tonight. Well be discussing, among other things, what the two men said in those calls now released to congress and to the public. The other top story of this evening, the local politicians in the city of minneapolis who are finally, finally reacting to the outrage of a citizen murdered and caught on video and a local Political Community that did nothing for days. Murder and manslaughter charges today filed against fired Police OfficerDerek Chauvin for the memorial day death of george floyd. We take all of this up here this evening, what turned into three days of violent demonstrations, looting and arson that ultimately, ultimately seemed necessary to convince the mayor of minneapolis who tried to blame everyone but himself for the, for the days of violence and the local District Attorney who initially said there wasnt enough evidence when so clearly to all of america there certainly was clear evidence of the culpability and at least the basis for charges against the fired Police Officer. Interestingly, minneapolis a community that is for some strange reason did not turn first, turn first to their mayor, to the District Attorney, the city council. The local political authorities who they seemingly forgot to include amongst those responsible for the death of this man. The other story of the hour, President Trump today make his strongest statements to date about china. Standing in the rose garden, President Trump saying directly that the Chinese Communist party told lies, committed espionage and Global Expansion will no longer be tolerated by the United States. The president announcing his administration will block chinese nationals from entering the United States, those that the United States government deems to pose a National Security risk. He also assured that he will terminate the u. S. Relationship with the World Health Organization forthwith for helping china cover up the wuhan virus pandemic and the deadly contagion that was unleashed on the World Without so much as a slight warning by the chinese government. And the president promised to begin eliminating policy exemptions that give hong kong preferential treatment in the wake of the Chinese Communist government effectively, effectively ending hong kongs autonomy and limiting the freedoms such as they are of hong kong residents now that they are under the power of beijing directly. The president s unprecedented actions following through on thoughts and feelings of the american people. Recent polling showing twothirds of americans now view china unfavorably. Nine in ten see communist china as a threat to the United States. And 70 of americans also say they want restrictions on trade with china. President trump did not make any comments at the white house about new charges against the minneapolis Police Officer who killed an unarmed black man kneeling on his neck for several minutes. Fired Police OfficerDerek Chauvin charged with thirddegree murder and manslaughter in the death of george floyd. Local authorities finally bringing charges on what was a clear cut case of some form in the league lexicon of homicide. What specific legal charge really never in question. Everyone who saw the video knew what had happened and exactly who was responsible. Local authorities chose to ignore that evidence and blame, amongst others, the president of the United States, almost anyone but themselves in avoiding their duty to their community and to their citizens. Its more than time, if i may say at this moment, that in this country we begin to acknowledge facts and truth and acknowledge the failure of local authorities to take responsibilities for the cities, the citizens that they have failed in so many instances. The Third Precinct Police headquarters thats where the officers worked was torched and left to burn by minneapolis mayor. The police force withdrawn effectively by that same mayor. No curfew put in place, no restrictions of any kind on demonstrators and protesters, some of whom turned into looters and arsonists. Hennepin county District AttorneyMichael Freeman triggered last nights outrage or at least much of it. He said no clear Video Evidence existed of floyds killing, and it did not support a criminal charge. But newlyreleased video does show Police Officer chauvin and two others laying on floyd as he is helplessly, held helplessly on the ground. Another Police Officer standing nearby. The District Attorney today, after viewing that video, says he now sees criminal activity, suggests more charges could be coming for other officers as well. Hours before any charges were announced, President Trump tweeted a warning that he would send in the National Guard to save minneapolis from its incompetent local officials and certainly incompetent mayor. The president said this, quote these thugs are dishonoring the member the memory of george floyd, and i wont let that happen. Just spoke to Governor Tim Walz and told him that the military is with him all the way. Any difficulty and we will assume control. But when the looting starts, the shooting starts. Thank you. Twitter once again censored the president s tweet, incredibly, claiming that the president had gorefied violence. Twitter apparently underway what had unaware what had happened over the previous three days, refusing to acknowledge that a 43yearold man had been shot and killed as protesters looted stores wednesday in minneapolis or that the mayor has allowed his city to be looted, to be set aflame by socalled protesters who became arsonists and looters, angry, they said, about the death of george floyd in the custody of his Police Department. A city that is still grappling with nearly 10 unemployment, a poverty rate near 21 , and the mayor has the temerity to blame the president of the United States. Minnesotas governor, tim walz, has since activated the National Guard to restore order as the president intimated he should. As the state is bracing for the potential of even more violence. Fox news Senior Correspondent mike tobin is on the ground in minneapolis and has the latest for us. Mike . Reporter lou, im in minneapolis with a traumatically different scene than yesterday with no Police Presence and the mob ruling the street yesterday. Take look behind me, you see a row of National Guardsmen, also with state troopers behind the guardsmen with m16s at the ready. The state troopers with riot gear. Beneath those padded vests are ballistic vests, and you see in front of them what forms and goes away from time to time is crowds of more demonstrators. Still dissatisfied, dissatisfied that it took four days and tremendous social pressure to arrive at a murder charge against Derek Chauvin, the Police Officer. The Hennepin County attorney saying that more charges against other officers are possible. We felt it appropriate to focus on the most dangerous perpetrator. Im not going to speculate today about the other officers. They are under investigation. I anticipate charges, but i am not going to get into that. Reporter and last night we saw something ive never seen in my career of tv news. Police officers from the 3rd precinct of Minneapolis Police department retreating under pressure from the if angry mob. The mob had approached the 3rd precinct building several times, the Police Officers beat them back with tear gas and other nonlethal weapons. At one point they formed up in the parking lot, they got in vehicles, they got on foot, and they got out of the 3rd precinct. What followed was rioting, arson, vandalism unabated in these neighborhoods. Police presence not to be seen at all. Now you have this Dramatic Development with the charges against the Police Officer, and you have the family the attorney, i should say, for the family saying the family is dissatisfied with these charges of thirddegree murder and manslaughter. They wanted firstdegree murder. Lou . Lou mike, it was an extraordinary scene that you witnessed and brought to us all. Its, it is also extraordinary the degree to which mayor frye and the other local officials, where in the world were the citizens . Why werent they demonstrating in front of that mayor who was absolutely, in my judgment and i dont want you to get involved in my opinion but absolutely irresponsible. This community has, you know, complete control of their lives through their local officials. And apparently, this mayor decided he didnt have to protect his police force, he didnt have to protect the 3rd precinct. I mean, this is outrageous conduct on the part of any local official or any state official for that matter. To not have had this protection from the National Guard immediately, this is just outrageous. What is the feeling there about their the City Government, for crying out loud . Reporter well, some people clearly were dissatisfied with the absence of Police Presence. I talked to people as the looters were coming and going from the target throughout the day. They were dissatisfied. But it really seems that mayor frye made a decision to go 180 degrees from what we saw in ferguson, with the police in ferguson way back when in the Michael Brown case with a large overreaction and a big show of force that was ugly and really ignited the crowd out there. Here was a situation where where they decided were not going to have friction with the demonstrators, were not going to have these conflicts that play out over the airwaves. Anytime the tear a gas comes out, the riot gear, its always an ugly scene. That is the lead story, and it really ignites people. So they went the other direction and let the mob have the street. We got another ugly scene. Lou . Lou and we got the same result; that is, looting, rioting and arson. And i and for the life of me, i cannot understand why the Community Leaders in minneapolis were not talking to that young, inexperienced mayor and talk to him talking to him about what was going on. We had Video Evidence of a death, for crying out loud. Why charges would not have been brought immediately is, its incomprehensive bl to most americans. And i dont care what Political Part of the spectrum youre on or ideological. His knee inan killed by a his neck. And it was straightforwardly so. Reporter well, theres not really anyone who would disagree with you, and all i can tell you to supplement what youre saying is that the Hennepin County attorney mike freeman said this is the fastest charges have ever been brought against a Police Officer in this county, but clearly what the demonstrators who were out here, theyre absolutely dissatisfied that it took this long. The one thing i keep hearing is the hypothetical that if that was a white person laying on the ground, the charges would have been rap, the arrest rapid, the arrest would have been rapid. That is their opinion out here. Very dissatisfied with the speed that thingses took. But overall with the Different Things people have been calling for along the way. They wanted to see criminal charges, a Legal Process playing out. Well, the Legal Process is playing out, you do have criminal charges. Theyre still out on the street. Why . One word, anger. Lou . Lou yeah. Well, their anger should be placed on their local leadership, their local officials because they behaved unconscionably throughout these five days as far as im concerned until today, and they should be holding them accountable. And, by the way, mike, as i wrap up this part of my opinion on this, i have to tell you the idea that these folks are not in that Community Every day with their city council, their mayor making certain theyve got the kind of Police Department and City Government that they want and deserve, theyve got to commit that energy to avoid more scenes like this in minneapolis.

Hes the director of the center for chinese central at the hudson institute. Mike, its good to have you with us. Lets talk about, first of all, your thoughts about the president s statements today, first breaking with the World Health Organization as he had said he would do if they did not begin immediate reforms. Well, lou, i thought there were both actions that the president announced and also some really stinging allegations that will shame china. In particular, saying that china instigated the pandemic which cost a million lives around the world. A lot of really harsh statements in this presentation caused me to believe this is the toughest statement any president has made to china in 50 years. You have to go back to 1970 when president nixon deployed an abm system against what he called a reckless china that could not be trusted. For those 50 years, all american president s are spoken very positively, even cooperatively with china. This is a real historic statement today, lou. The actions also are powerful, but i think its the allegations against china for treaty violations and for causing the death of a Million People by using this word instigating. He also is back to saying wuhan virus. This, remember, was disavowed as not proper. Quite striking speech, i thought, in terms of 50 years of history. Lou everyone who is calling it anything other than the wuhan virus is playing a politically correct, cowardly game of mind control control which the chinese are winning. That is their insistence as if it was not the wuhan virus. It would go through the list of pandemics and outbreaks of contagions, theyre named after places, nearly all of them, most of them. And why wuhan should not are that same label is preposterous. So im, like you, delighted that the president is using plain language particularly now that were dealing with a country thats responsible for the infection of millions and the deaths of another million arou
