Im elizabeth macdonald. The evening edit starts right now. Elizabeth okay. Look who is here. Look who is back with us harmeet dhillon, trump 2020 Advisory Board member. Harmeet, always great to have you back on. There is blowback against the president pressuring the attorney general to appoint a special prosecutor on the biden laptop email story before the election. Critics say thats wrong. Frank luntz, an election watcher. Says it is a mistake only campaign on the bidens. Other people say the Trump Campaign is not doing that. When you heard the headlines, what was your first response, what was your reaction . First i would say that the president is by far not only campaigning on the bidens, i would say it is not being mentioned enough. The president talking about his record. This is part of a referendum on his record. He has done a tremendous job growing our economy but the biden story cannot be ignored. It is not just because of the implications for the next four years. Crimes may have been committed in our country by the biden family and by his son pedaling access for whatever his reasons were. We know all the state, foreign oligarchs, kleptocrats you mentioned from other countries this is sell being access to our country and the white house. That could be a crime so that needs to be investigated for the integrity of our entire system of government. Elizabeth you know the debate is coming thursday night. The Trump Campaign objected about the mute button. Theyre objecting that the debate is not traditionally customarilily about Foreign Policy. It will be about National Security. Senators ron johnson and senator lankford said that the fbi should debrief the senate on the National Security concerns over the biden story. How should the president handle this at the debate on thursday night . The way that the entire debate situation has evolved this year has been very disappointing and i say that as a republican. I know republicans agreed to this format but never again should we agree to let the left and liberal reporters control this process. Cutting off the president potentially which is what the democrats apparently want to do during this important last debate is terrible. We need to be hearing from each of these candidates what their vision is. So in terms of that question regarding briefing the senate, yes, the fact that a person close to the Vice President was selling access to the white house and in fact we see photographs with some very shady foreign characters with joe biden in different locations, we need to get to the bottom of that, in terms of disinformation, yes, i am concerned that foreign governments are targeting family members of the, of the bidens, the potential future president. All of that needs to be briefed. If the debate moderator will not ask the important questions on everybodys mind, i am confident that the president is going to throw those questions and put joe biden to the test. Even though there is two minute clock. There will be six minutes of unclocked, uninterrupted discussion time where they hopefully can exchange views during each segment. Im pretty sure the president will ask some hard questions. Elizabeth yeah. We were expecting the president is going to say that voters have a right to know how, whether or not joe biden was ever compromised by the business dealings involving his family. It is not just his son hunter but his brothers and others too. Well dig into that in the next segment. When you saw that more than 50 former intelligence officials who worked for four president s including under President Trump, when you saw they signed a letter this looks like russian disinformation but then they admitted they dont know for sure, cant say either way, the question, anonymously sourced stories saying this is russian disinformation when there is no proof of that yet, when the Biden Campaign has not denied the laptop. They have not yet to deny the validity of the emails, when you see this coming from letter, signed by obama era intelligence officials like john brennan and james clapper, when you see those stories out there do you that there is any way the media will push further on this story to get to the bottom of what happened with joe biden and his family . Well, no, i dont expect the media to push harder because the media gets its talking points from the very people that betrayed their oath to our country. I say that not lightly but the very same people are saying oh, my god russian disinformation, they said the same thing about President Trump, they said it knowing that was not true. Why would he be surprised they are saying this . Im just a simple country lawyer, elizabeth in a courtroom, somebody coming with an affidavit signed like 50 people with no personal knowledge, the judge would throw that out as totally incompetent. It is not evidence of anything other than their bias and their support for joe biden and willingness to do it by any means necessary. But the most shocking thing here is how big tech has suppressed truthful reporting on this very scandal and it may be too late for this senate and this congress to do anything about it boy, what a missed opportunity if were not able to hold them accountable for lying to the American People that way. Elizabeth well, the question is, you know, the media including the new york times, Washington Post, the wall street journal, they have all been unable to verify the New York Post report on Hunter Bidens overseas influence peddling. The question how the social media handled that story but should journalists stop digging once they hear it is russian disinformation . Should you keep going . Because russian disinformation too is a crime. Shouldnt people try to get to the bottom of it just as journals tried to get to the bottom of the steele dossier and the general flynn story . Absolutely. Of course they should. In our proud history in the United States, im a First Amendment lawyer, journalists have been responsible for getting to the bottom of some major coverups in our country, major crimes, pollution issues, abuse of children, abuse of human beings in trafficking. Why are they abdicating their responsibility and their tremendous power in this critical time . Shouldnt we all like to know if there are members of any political family in the United States who have been compromised . If there are politicians running for the highest office in our country who have taken bribes . That is the allegation. Not to put a fine point on it. Has joe biden to benefit his son or himself financially compromised his position . Let thugs or criminals or crooks into the white house or into his orbit, done favors for them almost certainly seems to be the case for the burisma situation . People need to know one way or the other. If were a good reporter you wanted joe biden to win you would help him out and assuring that the emails are fake. That the people who are on them did not actually send them or receive them but theyre not doing their jobs. Theyre directly suppressing all of this information. By doing so theyre destroying their credibility as supposed objective arbiters of the truth and information. Elizabeth you know this story is not going to go away. Remember the Clinton Whitewater story, the rum trumprussia collusion story which has been out there for four years. This story will not go away. The republicans will go after it, right harmeet . Absolutely. Boy this story is just Getting Started liz. Well hear a lot more about it. Well hear shady characters come up over coming days. Harmeet dhillon, thanks for joining us. Comeback soon. Thanks, liz. All right. Elizabeth former independent counsel ken starr with more on this debate. The more than 50 former intelligence officials who suspect hunter biden emails are russian disinformation, they cant admit either way what it is and whether or not the emails are fake . Ken starr will take this on next. He will break it down. Stay with us. President trump did you see shifty schiff . We think this laptop was made by russia. Oh, owe, he is just said it was made by russia. Here we go again. Russia did it. Russia, russia, russia. You know, the head of dnjohn cat cliff came out and said that was false information.

And i want more of them. Ask your doctor about everyday verzenio. Elizabeth okay. Lets welcome back to the show former independent counsel ken starr. Ken, it is always great to have your perspectives and insight. When you saw that more than 50 former intelligence officials, it is great to see you. 50 former intelligence officials, more than 50 who worked for more than four president s including President Trump, you saw they signed a letter, the hunter biden story, laptop email story looks like russian disinformation, but they cant say either way, they dont have evidence of that, they dont have h know if the emails are fake, is this throwing accelerant on the story . What was your reaction on the story . My reaction it was a political act. It was not really an act of professionalism objective. Lets analyze the documents. Now lets look at the Vice President s calendar. Ah, there is something here that just doesnt seem right and it looks like it is russian disinformation. So i think it was an act in the Political Campaign and they should be ashamed and they should simply say, look, lets find out. Lets track it down. There are ways of doing that. Lets get the job done. Elizabeth you know Glen Greenwald at the intercept, has been saying that the cia, nsa, are manipulating the American People, putting anonymous information, anonymously sourced information into stories saying this is russian disinformation when providing no proof of that. Dni ratcliff says no proof of that. The conclusion where the mind comes to rest. It is russian disinformation, lets not look into that. Lets continue to not verify the story. Is that looks what is going on . It appears to me. Dont bother me with the fact information. I see inconvenient facts or may be facts. The call should be lets investigate, lets find out, is it authentic or is it not . As it was just said if it is disinformation, there are people committing crimes. Certainly civil actions are appropriate but from what little ive seen, and we have not seen all that much, there are a lot of i would call it indicia of reliability. Im not saying jump to a conclusion but there are certain indicators this should be taken seriously. Instead of being dismissed out of hand. So i strongly disagree with the idea, well, it is russian disinformation. Lets bury our heads in the sand. Elizabeth yeah, because if you dont dig into it, if you dont you know, if it is russian disinformation thats a crime. That is election medaling. That should be pursued. If you leave it hanging out there as russian disinformation and you just let it go at that, then you can disis in the story as unverified, unproven and undercut it. We have obama officials john brennan, james clapper, they helped push the russian does say story. Isnt this sort of the same thing . It looks like it could be very close to that and instead of again shouting we dont want to look at this why dont we hear the shout, were interested in the facts . We want the facts to come out and lets assess the facts. We dont have to jump to any conclusions. We dont have to make any accusations against anyone but lets in fact take a profession attitude as opposed to a political attitude. But were in the election season. We need more professionalism and less politics. Were not getting it. There are truth seekers. Lets step back and say there are people on the beat, there are cops on the beat, i dont know what the fbi is doing, i dont know what the other parts of the Intelligence Community are doing but we do know in the fourth estate, in the media there are truth seekers. We need more of them. Elizabeth you know we, joe bidens tax returns, were still digging into them to see if there is any evidence of this. We do see that story about you know, hunter biden getting a deal with a former executives at china, nowdefunct Chinese Energy company where the emails indicated that 20 of that jointlyshared fund was going to be, 20 went for, punitively hunter biden and 10 for the big guy. We dont know if that is joe biden or not. Were digging into that. That is a may 2017 story. Right. Elizabeth i would like you to listen to former deputy independent counsel Sol Wisenberg with us last night on this. Listen to what he had to say about this. Watch this. I dont think he is going to do that. Im not sure he should. Im not sure the fbi should be involved in this close to an election in answering a specific question like that but you already had an answer from the director of National Intelligence which is very significant development, that is kind of being quasicensored by the Mainstream Press where he said there is no indication whatsoever this is russian disinformation. So im, im confused and im troubled by the outright censorship going on here. Where was the skepticism when the steele dossier came out in 2017 . And we heard about for years, about that when it was pretty obvious early on that it was ridiculous . Elizabeth ken, your thoughts on that . Bingo. Sol wisenberg just hit a proverbial home run. He is exactly right and everyone i think should listen carefully to what jon ratcliff, the dci is saying. Lets take this seriously. Lets find out. Elizabeth all right. Ken starr, thank you so much for joining us. Come back soon. You bet. Thank you, liz. Elizabeth next with us, you too. Next coming up the hill media reporter joe concha. He is going to take on this big story, the intercepts again greenwald. Glen greenwald said there is a Mainstream Media cone of silence around the hunter biden story or deny that the hunter laptop is false too. Well show you the long history how the media reported on the bidens leveraging their greatest asset, joe bidens name. They leverage it from around the world from china, to ukraine, from romania to iraq to costa rica and more. The story next. First of all adam schiff is seriously the most pathological liar in all of american politics that i have seen in all of my time covering politics and journalism. He just fabricates accusations at the drop of a hat the way other people change underwear. He is simply lying when he asserts over and over that the russians and kremlin are behind this story. He has no idea whether or not that is true. There is no evidence to support it introducing the allnew 2021 gla suv. Starting at just 36,230. Its the biggest thing that ever happened to small.
