Democrats running in cities like chicago we just had a news conference. Unfortunately that is what it is. That is the facts. If you look at the job, mayor lightfoot sent me a letter. In their own way they will be a time they want us to go in full blast. Were sending in extra people to help. We are sending in a lot of people that are very bad. As far as the coronavirus i think weve done amazing things. You will probably see that if you compare our statistics among other countries. If you look at death rates, et cetera, you will see especially into the future with what is happening. Youre going to see very, very impressive numbers for the United States. John, please. Reporter mr. President , do you plan to do a National Strategy to help schools reopen and reopen safely . Regarding the children in your pham i also, your son, your grandchildren, are you comfortable you do have plan to have them back in person . President trump i am comfortable with. That we do have a National Strategy but ultimately it is up to the governors of the states. Most governors, they would like to see the schools open. I would like to see the schools open. Especially when you see statistics like this, on young people and safety. We want to see schools open. We want to see the economy open. We just had a report literally as i walked in, we set an alltime record on Housing Price increases up, i think they said 21 which is a record that never happened before. That is a great sign. We have an economy that will be booming. It is going to be, a lot of jobs are being produced. The job numbers will be coming out shortly, meaning over the next week or so i think it will be continuation of the last two months of the last two months have been incredible. I think well have a great economy. I think you will have a fantastic next year. We will have a great quarter when the Third Quarter numbers come out. Interestingly they will be announced before the election. They will be announced around november 1st. I would like to see the schools open, open 100 and well do it safely, well do it carefully but when you look at the statistics i just read having to do with children and safety, theyre very impressive. They very strong immune systems. Reporter you would understand people going to school, go back to home, theyre with some, some live with grandparents there is real risk, would you understand President Trump they do say they dont transmit very easily. A lot of people say they dont transmit. Were studying, john, very hard, that particular subject. That they dont bring it home with them. Now they dont catch it easily. They dont bring it home easily. If they do catch it they get better fast. Were looking at that fact. That is a factor. Were looking at that very strongly. Reporting over next week. Please. Reporter mr. President , at least three governors today came out with new orders on mask requirements. Is that something you wish all the governors would do . President trump well a lot of the governors, they have different requirements. Some of the governors are very strong on masks. Others arent. I think it is really ultimately up to them. Weve given them facts. They have their own facts. Some are strong on masks and as you know some are in the same ballpark. I think all are suggesting if you want to wear a mask you wear it. I bring one. I have worn it. I think when im in certain settings like hospitals or various, when im close, when you cant socially distance, i believe in it i see do i, i do. I have it. In certain, in certain instances i think you really, i think you want to travel with a mask. There are instances where you really can use it. I would believe it would be a good thing. Yeah, please. Reporter d. C. Mayor bowser came up with order. It doesnt apply to federal properties. Would you encourage federal properties including white house complex to follow the order . President trump were going to make a decision over the next 24 hours. Well let you know what that decision is. Thank you. Reporter President Trump, do you agree with Senate Republicans possibility of extending short term Unemployment Insurance today so that they prevent benefits from expiring . President trump i think a lot of politicians are discussing that, republicans, democrats. Right now a lot of my representatives are on the hill. Theyre discussing cares act or phase four, whatever you want to call it. And i think ultimately something good will come out of it. The economy is starting to really come back strongly, when you look at the numbers. Even with the fact like California Closed up, many big states. The numbers are more impressive, considering some states like california, big ones are pretty well shut down. So we expect to have something over a period of time, over the appropriate period of time. Please. Reporter thank you very much. Two questions are with Andrew Feinberg and [inaudible]. Said youre sending federal Law Enforcement officers to cities run by extreme politicians that is the word you used who happen to be raul democrats who supported black lives matter protests. President trump i didnt say they support it. I said democrat politicians and these are the cities where you have the problem. If you look at chicago, if you look at detroit. Look around any of these cities where we have the problems. Were sending them help but were really waiting for them to call for the big help, for the big numbers, for the large numbers about people that we have ready, willing, able. You look at chicago where 14 people were shot yesterday, where over the weekend many people died and many people were shot and over the last month theyre setting record numbers. We are waiting for the mare, respectfully and other mayors and governors to call us. We are ready, willing, able to go in there with great force. Now we also have people going in and arresting drug dealers, arresting some of the shooters doing the shooting. We know who they are. Were working with Police Forces. Even though in some cases theyre told, dont work with the federal government, the Police Forces have Great Respect for the federal government, what we do. But were ready, willing and able to go into these cities that are just being decimated with shooting and were going to help. Please. Reporter i have a question on crime but first, i dont think we really got an explanation yesterday why the Health Experts are no longer joining you at these briefings. Can you explain why . President trump because theyre briefing me. Im meeting them. I spoke to dr. Fauci. Dr. Birx is right outside and theyre giving me, everything they know as of, as of this point in time and im giving the information to you. I think it is probably a very concise way of doing it. It seems to be working out very well. Reporter on crime President Trump theyre very much involved. Theyre very much with the relationships are all very good, all very good. The relationships we have with the doctors, with everybody working on the virus has been i think extraordinary. Kaley is here. You work with them all the time. Go ahead. Reporter in 2016 you said president obamas fault homicides are up in then, why is it the president s fault then but not your fault now. President trump chicago is disaster. The mayor is saying dont come in. The mayor is telling us not to come in. We can avoid at that, it is out of control. I assume she is saying that for political reasons. I think it is negative political reasons. She is, she is a democrat. Im going to be nice. She is a democrat. She is making a big mistake. People are dying in chicago and other cities. We can solve the problem. They have to ask us but they can solve the problem. Reporter why was it president obamas fault in 2016. President trump president obama was invited in. He did a poor job. President obama could have gone into chicago and could have solved the problem and he didnt. In our case they dont want us in. We can solve the problem very easily. Were equipped with the best equipment, the best people. You see what were doing. Portland was coming down, busting at the seams. We went in protected all federal buildings. Those federal buildings are totally protected. We had to do that. Portland is a very different place than chicago. Chicago should call us, so should philadelphia, detroit and others to really help them. When youre losing many people a weekend, many, many people, you see the same numbers as i do, when youre losing these people, they should call us and say come on in. It is incredible to me but theyre not doing it. At some point they will. At some point we may have no other choice but to go in. Jeff, please. Reporter mr. President , are you looking closing further chinese embassies in the United States . Did you ask ambassador Woody Johnson to bring the british open to your turnberry property in scotland . President trump i never spoke to Woody Johnson about that. Turnbury is highly respected course, one of the best in the world. I read a story about it today. I never spoke to Woody Johnson about doing that, no. As far as closing additional embassies, it is always possible. You see what is going on. We thought there was a [inaudible] in one we did close and everybody said there is a fire. There is a fire. I guess they were burning document the or burning papers. I wonder what thats all about. One or two more, please. Reporter thank you. Would you like to respond to joe biden who today described you, you might have heard that as the first racist to be elected president . Those are his words. President trump it is interesting, because we did criminal justice reform. We passed criminal justice reform. Something obama and biden were unable to do. We did opportunity cities. We did the greatest, if you look at what weve done with opportunity zones, nobodys ever even thought of a plan like that. Prior to the china plague coming in, floating in, coming into our country and really doing terrible things all over the world, doing terrible things, we had the best africanamerican, hispanicamerican, asianamerican, almost every group was the best for unemployment. The unemployment numbers were the best. So you look at, so you look at employment, you look at opportunity zones and maybe most importantly, you look at criminal justice reform. You look at prison reform. I have done things that nobody else, i have said this, i say it openly. Not a lot of people dispute it, i have done more for black americans than anybody with possible exception of abraham lincoln. Nobody has even been close. Thank you very much, everybody. Reporter mr. President elizabeth okay. Thats President Trump just now wrapping up his presser. He started out talking about nursing home fatalities, what the administration is doing to stop the outbreak of covid. But critics are saying what just happened in that press room is an indication of where the media is at, the poor quality of questions that the president is getting from reporters. Lets bring in republican mike mccaul. He is Ranking Member on house foreign affairs. Congressman, when you listen to these questions, you know, president went through a whole litany what is going on with Nursing Homes. Weve been reporting on the outbreak of covid, taking out a lot of senior citizens. The president said youre struggling with isolation in golden years. This should be a good time for you, happy time. There is light at the end of the tunnel. He talked about sending in ppe, getting hhs funding, then immediately, congressman, reporters take over, are you targeting democrat cities with more federal Law Enforcement to distract from your failures . The American People are not getting information they need and understanding the subjects that are at issue right now in the 2020 election. Big distraction. Big distracting questions from the media there. What is your take . This is a press conference on covid19. He is talking about everything from Nursing Homes to vaccines. Everything related to the coronavirus, yet as you mentioned almost every question had absolutely nothing to do with covid19. So you know, you kind of question the objectivity of the press. Obviously it is not, it is a biased White House Press corps. All they want to do is have a gotcha moment with him, that they can replay on the television stations. If they were serious about this virus, they would be asking him what he prepared to talk about, that is covid19. They talk about Everything Else but that, make it a political exercise, rather than a policy exercise. Elizabeth you know, were seeing voter fatigue with the politicization of covid19 and also the violence in cities. Look at this. Democrat senator tim kaine says the president is taking action against china, shutting down the embassy, Chinas Embassy in houston to deflect from his mix take over covid19. We also saw a democrat congressman out of Washington State basically saying, taking to the house floor, saying it was, it is not chinas problem to notify the world about the covid pandemic, it was the president s. This is high level incompetence were seeing. We spot trends at evening edit sir. We were seeing trump signs on lawns that the press didnt pick up. Were seeing Culture Shift saying trump will win in the fall because of voter fatigue to pressers like that. Your reaction . There is a silent majority out there. This remind me of year 1968, you had a lot of social unrest. At that time nixon ran on a law and order platform. I this think president , President Trump is always, you know, i used to debate prep him back in the day. He ran on a strong law and order platform. That is what he is doing now. He did it success fully in Washington State with the federal buildings. Obviously the democrat mayors are not going to let him in. They would rather see this country go down in covid19 if it means they could win the president ial election. That is how unbelievable and how politicized they made this issue. Including china. I chair the china task force. That was supposed to be a Bipartisan Task force. At the last minute nancy pelosi decided to pull out of this thing, because it was a, i dont know, for her it wasnt politically justified. I think that is really sad, because i think most Americans Care about what happened in wuhan, china. They care about the fact that china, you know, Chinese Communist party invaded hong kong, human rights abuses. They care about supply chain coming out of the Chinese Communist party. These are real issues, Foreign Policy issues that we should be addressing. They would rather make it all about him, about President Trump and not lay the blame on where it needs to go, that is the Chinese Communist party that started whole thing in the first place. Elizabeth the national, the National Conversation has been poisoned, lets face it. Weve been covering what is going on with the issues for four years now. We were early citing problems with the mueller investigation. We were three years ago we started looking at the problems in the general flynn case. And now were trend spotting this. Are democrats missing this, are media missing this . Look at the peace rally with minorities watching across the Brooklyn Bridge saying stop the violence. We need cops in our communities. We covered back the blue rallies in washington, south carolina, nebraska, illinois. Voters are standing up, sir, theyre fed up, theyre angry, theyre scared. They want police to defend themselves against violent criminals. Are democrats missing this by politicizing as you just saw in the White House Presser to go after President Trump . When voters dont want crime, they want to feel safe, are democrats missing that . Of course they are. When aoc convinces de blasio to cut the new York Police Department by how many millions of dollars, making new york, it will go back before giuliani now, one of the most dangerous cities in the United States. Itch great affection for the new York Police Department as i do for most Police Departments in fact all of them. I dont really understand this unwarranted attack on Law Enforcement. I dont think it is going to sell in november. I do think theyre making a mistake. I also think theyre making a mistake when were not focusing on the espionage taking place by the Chinese Communist party right now. What we saw in houston with the closing of the consulate was done for a reason because theyre stealing and trying to steal our medical research on the vaccine itself. Man this, liz. Were developing the vaccine to cure the world from the very virus they are responsible for. They want to steal that, as they steal everything so they can take credit for saving the world. I think it is ironic to see those trashcans burning where theyre throwing documents and burning all the evidence. Like a scene of the crime where theyre like destroying the evidence of the crime. Why arent we talking about that issue . Elizabeth yeah. Congressman, great to see you. Come back soon. My pleasure. Elizabeth congressman mike mccaul. Come back soon. T
