Joe was willing to sacrifice american lives to placate the radical left, open border extremists and we saved tens of thousands of lives, probably hundreds of thousands of lives. We saved millions of lives by doing the closing and now the opening the way we did it. Joes decision to publicly attack the china ban proves the he lacks the character or intelligence or instinct to do what is right. Lou biden, the radical dems, the rinos, the leftwing National Media have exploded over Bob Woodwards new book. Woodward reporting the President Trump intentionally downplayed the china virus in the earliest stages what would be a pandemic. And a deadly one. President trump addressed woodwards claims head on today and in the process smacked down abcs ill mannered disrespectful jonathan karl. Reporter why did you lie to the American People and why should we trust what you have to say now . President trump that is terrible question and phraseology. I didnt lie. I said we have to be calm. We have cant be panicked. What i said was very simple. I want to show a level of confidence and i want to show strength as a leader and i want to show that our country is going to be fine, one way or the other, whether we lose one person, we shouldnt lose any, because this shouldnt have happened. This is chinas fault. This is nobodys fault by china. China should not have allowed it to happen. Whether you have lou the president placing the blame for the china virus exactly where it belongs, on on the communist chinese party. In the midst of a developing crisis it was president xi xinping who covered up and who stopped all travel domestically in china but encouraged International Travel throughout, which led to the global pandemic. The chinese also covered up the severity, the deadliness of the virus. They denied the virus was deadly. They denied it was transmittible. On january 14th, the World Health Organization corroborated the chinese coverup, saying there was no humantohuman transmission of a virus at all. A full week later, on january 21st, the w. H. O. Admitted there was in fact humantohuman transmission in wuhan, the city of origin of that deadly virus. President trump shared that information by the way with bob woodward in a phone call on february 7th. Yet today the Washington Post tried to claim otherwise. Reporter deadly virus, you knew it was airborne, on february 7th, you told bob woodward how it transferred persontoperson in the air, how deadly it was. Why didnt you come to the podium . President trump let me ask you this, if bob woodward thought that was bad, this is stuff everyone knew, there is report i have someplace, china said it was earlier airborne before statements i made. People knew it was airborne. When i say it was airborne. This was no big thing. Reporter february. President trump read the reports. China came out with a statement it was an airborne disease. I heard it was an airborne disease. I assumed it early own of the fact there has to be a calmness. You doesnt want me jumping up and down screaming there will be great death. Really causing some very, very Serious Problems with the country. Lou preposterous set of questions by the press in that briefing room. Amongst the most disrespectsful manners that i have seen in that ill mannered press core, disgusting point of fact. President trump out bob woodward of sitting on tapes of their telephone conversations. The president asked whether woodward thought the president wasnt doing enough, why didnt he think it prudent to report that in the Washington Post immediately instead of waiting five months for his book . President trump if bob woodward thought what i said was bad then he should have immediately, right after i said it, gone out to the authorities so they can prepare and let them know. But he didnt think i was bad. He said he didnt think it was bad. He actually said he didnt think it was bad. Reporter bob woodward is not the president. President trump only people think it was bad because the Fake News Media because they take it to try to put it a certain way. If bob woodward thought it was bad he should have immediately gone out publicly not wait four months. He had that statement maybe four months, maybe five months. He has had it for a long time. Lou you may be amongst those asking right now why in the world would the president waste his time with bob woodward when you know what youre going to get . Well apparently senator Lindsey Graham was amongst those who recommended the president talk with woodward despite woodwards history, graham telling the daily beast this, quote. The last book woodward wrote trump said he didnt know that he had wanted to be interviewed. So i said, well, the guys a wellknown president ial author. You know you got a chance to tell your side of the story. The president agreed and there you go. End quote. Just as an aside here, i think only that needs to go is Lindsey Graham. He is, without question, capable of imminent disservice to this president. The book hasnt even been fully released yet. Thanks to grahams handiwork, washington swamp and leftwing National Media are using the latest tool which to unfairly attack President Trump. It is perhaps time that the white house considered the frequency of Lindsey Grahams counsel to the president. Whether it be at the white house or every trump property including some golf courses. Well, lets turn now to the rest of the days news. And that means the senate. Failing to pass a republican china virus relief package, another blow to Senate Majority leader Mitch Mcconnell. Who is apparently trying to lead his caucus to mass political suicide come november 3rd. Rather than urging senators to run with the president , run with the president , mcconnell has encouraged republicans in tight races to distance themselves from the president if it deem it necessary. That is a decision that is already appearing to cost the Republican Party dearly. In the senate, Mitch Mcconnell and his leadership role are very much in question as several states now, that the president carried in 2016 indicate it is going to be a tough time for those republican senators against the radical dem opponent. In North Carolina thom tillis is down seven points in the latest poll. That is a race he won by fewer than two points just six years ago. Joni ernst, virtually tied with her radical dem opponent in iowa. In 2014 earns won by more than eight points. That appears to be gone. Air southerns martha mcsally, down six points in her race against former astronaut mark kelly, a state President Trump won by four points in 2016. David perdue, the senator from georgia, has only a slim lead in his race. He is within the margin of error of recent polls, purdue won by eight points in his last election. Colorados cory gardner losing in his race against former governor john hickenlooper, nearly double the margin the president lost the state by in 2016. It looks ugly. In every instance those candidates, those gop candidates are not running with and in support of President Trump and they are making a tremendous mistake and theyre doing so at the, at the beckon of Mitch Mcconnell. It is a tragic mistake for the Republican Party but still early enough to correct. President trump this hour will be heading to the Battle Ground state of michigan for what is scheduled to be another high energy, electrifying trump rally. Supporters of the president s have been lining up all day in what has been described as a fun, festive tailgatelike atmosphere. Tonights event is expected to draw about five thousand people to the Mbs International Airport in freeland, michigan. It comes a day after china joe bidens visit to the state. Vice President Trump talking to handful of reporters in carefully placed circles. Dynamic, electric environment, dont you think . I later scurried away from the podium and refused, refused to answer any questions from those people sitting in those chairs, in those little circles. Just take a listen to how the two events unfolded, how bidens event sounded compared to that of the president s most recent rally. Look at this executive right here . [applause] usa, usa. Usa usa usa usa usa usa applause. We loaf you we love you claim. We love you we love you we love you with american grit, american determination and American Union workers. [applause] look, folks President Trump we will make America Great again. Thank you, North Carolina. [cheers and applause] lou well, i think you call that intensity, enthusiasm. When that energy and that momentum for the president is showing up in the polls, the president is now only five points back of china joe biden in the latest poll out of michigan. Biden had been ahead seven points earlier. Up next, attorney general william barr said more indictments could be coming from john durhams obama gate investigation. Well take that up with congressman devin nunes next. Preorder my new book, the trump century. How our president changed the course of history forever. Available at our new merchandise show, loudobbs.

You an can meet me, get your autographed copy of the trump century. The trump century. Sign up at our Retirement Plan with voya gives us confidence. So we can spend a bit today, knowing were prepared for tomorrow. Wow, do you think you overdid it maybe . Overdid what . Well planned, well invested, well protected. Voya. Be confident to and through retirement. Lou breaking news, a top staffer for oregon speaker of the house arrested during last weekends riots in portland. Police reporting that antifa enabler christina narion, was charged with interfering with a Police Officer after she was ordered a number of times to leave. Meanwhile, portlands mayor ted wheeler is ordering police now to stop using tear gas on the rioters. Recent poll shows 63 of residents do not like wheeler. He is facing reelection in november. That should be anti interesting enterprise for him, and the city portland. They have put up with an awful lot, havent they . More political activism in the federal judiciary. District court judge Eli Richardson has blocked tennessees law that bars firsttime voters from mailin voting until they provide an i. D. To an election office. Richardson, a trump appointee, changed course from earlier this summer when he chose not to block the same law for the States August 6th primary. A very confused activist. Attorney general william barr says there could still be more criminal charges in john durhams obama gate investigation. Barr however would not talk about whether, where durham is in his investigation or whether anything else will be made public before the election. You know, it is the Justice Department where truth goes to die. Joining uss tonight to take all of this up is congressman devin nunes, Ranking Member of the House Intelligence Committee and author of countdown to socialism, available for preorder now. We recommend it to you highly. Congressman, great to have you with us. I want to be encouraged by the attorney generals comments that there could be more coming from durham but im at this point, im absolutely skeptical of anything this Justice Department does and certainly in any manner, a timely result. Your thoughts . Well look, youre right to be frustrated because justice ielayed is justice denied as the old saying goes and it has been way too long. This has been going on for far too long and, you know, but you have to remember, lou, on the other hand, this is a sprawling yconspiracy involving many departments and including the dnc, the clinton campaign. There is a lot here that has to be unpacked. So i do think i continue to say this to you, it is actually a good thing that were not seeing leaks like we saw with the mueller witchhunt. I think that is a good thing. I dont buy this story that oh, this could be political and that tsomehow the election is goingo deter durham for coming with indictments because, look, nobody that is on the ballot i believe is going to be investigate investigated or part of this. Biden knew about this. He didnt order it done. It was obama officials and we know which ones. That is what durham is trying to get to the bottom of. I think there is still plenty of time, i would like to see before we vote in 2020 just who was colluding with russians and it sure as hell it wasnt donald trump. Wouldnt it be nice for the American People to know it is democrats colluding with russians. That is what we need Durham Report to come out and for once and for all put an end to this russian nonsense about the trump campaign. Lou to that, as an aside i shouldnt take the time, i dont want to take much, the Senate Intelligence was at the nexus of contacts with russians. They were actually back channeling and senator, mark warren, the vicechair of the senate Intelligence Committee hass much to answer for but he, the national leftwing media wont ask him a single question. I have dont know whether or not the Justice Department has but i seriously doubt it. I dont see anything to suggest theyre thorough or expansive in tthis investigation. I take your point because it is complex but my god, thanks to judicial watch, thanks to you and your committee, thanks to a handful of others, john solomon and their reporting this is, we, the public knows so much about this. Surely those investigators have one hell of a starting point. There are lots of points that they could begin this process. They dont have to do the drudgery. It has been done. It has been handed to them in point of fact, dont you think . What i would add to that, lou, what would be nice before this election at least to get an interim report, because i dont want to see a final report. Because i know just how big and olong the list of people that need to be interviewed. Im sure they have more people to be interviewed. I want to see a thorough investigation. We should g get some initial information that would be out before this election that would put to bed once and for all anythingll to do with trump and russia, just how corrupt this process really was. And that is what we really need to get to the bottom of. As it relates to the senate, look the Senate Report was a joke. They took way too long to get anything done. I have to go back to our Gold Standard report that was finished a couple years ago, that has stood the test of time that if any, the only thing we got wrong is that we didnt put enough in there what we knew at the time because we werent, we just werent so sure how deep the corruption actually went. Lou yeah. And in my purpose in this straightforwardly, i do not want to have the radical dems steal another election in 2018 because the Republican Party leadership made up of dam fools on capitol hill. The problem is right now you still have Mitch Mcconnell, sitting there, basically sacrificing the senate because of his obstinence and defiance of this president rather than supporting him and backing up this president. I think he is committing political suicide. What do you think . Well look, i think the senators have learned their lesson. I think you are right, that some in the senate were buying into this, these fake news narrative bombs that continue to come out. I would continue to say, this is one of the ongoing problems, you have the atlantic story. Now you have woodwards book. This is what they do. They build fake news narratives. Now theyre running them through the social media companies. So senators, congressman, you know, look, you shouldnt be talking to these media people. Look, lou, i think, god knows why the president was talking to bob woodward. I dont understand it. Lou the radical dems have become the party of hate around they lie, they cheat, and they steal and they have been doing it from before this president was elected. They tried to stop his election. They have tried to stop his dopresidency, to stop his agenda and they have done it through lies and lies and more lies. I think the American People based on the polling were all looking at, they have got it figured out at this point. Devin nunez, in part because of all of your good efforts and, we appreciate it so much, congressman. Look forward to talking with you, soon, and good luck with your book which you can now preorder.
