Survive the crash. Ntsb announcing they will launch a go team to investigate the accident. That came out moments ago. Investigation into the crash. Youre seeing pictures on the screen right now. Lots of news coming out on this. Tariq, i quill start with you, youre wellknown covering space issues. What do you make of what is going on tonight . What do you expect out of this press conference . This is definitely a sad day for both the families involved and Virgin Galactic as well as commercial spaceflight industry in general. And, i guess what were, really hoping to find out what do we know right now that happened . We have heard anecdotal reports so far about the drop and, and, the initial engine ignition. Of course the breakup and the crash. Were hoping to know who was killed in the crash, the status of the other pilot and what investigation. Because there is sure to be one, will be like out there in mojave. Gerri tom jones, to you, youre a former astronaut. You were on the space shuttle, many flights. Youve walked in says. What do you make of this news tonight. Jerry it is a set back for commercial tourism in space but i dont think it is the end at all. I think several companies will keep up momentum towards carrying people into space as passengers. It is an education. People should not think of the Space Tourism business as airliner flight. This is experimental vehicle. Even when passengers start to fly, better rutan, the designer said it will be like safety level with airliners back in the 1920s. We who have been in Space Business for a while, we understand nature of these vehicles. A lot of high energy, a lot of demanding physics. Not surprising, a crash like this was inevitable. Im glad it came without passengers on board. Gerri give you a tweet from Richard Branson himself. Thoughts with all Virgin Galactic and scale. Thanks for all the messages of support. Im flying to mojave immediately to be with the team. Richard branson that runs the company will be on sight shortly. I should say the presser is starting right now. Well go right to it. George white sides. With me in the room is kevin mickey. I dont see kevin right this second. Be right out. Okay, be right out. President of scale composite. Just briefly, our day began about 2 00 this morning with, the evolution of a spaceship ii, white knight ii, powered flight four was the name of this particular test. Takeoff occurred at 9 20 this morning. My team and i were present at entire evolution. Release of spaceship ii occurred at approximately 10 10 a. M. At approximately 10 12 we became aware of an inflight anomaly and implemented our preplanned response plan. My team was dispatched to the north. The chief will discuss that and the sheriff will discuss his involvement. I had confirmation of a mishap just a few moments later. Approximately 25 miles north of the airport. We were given a latitude, longitude of a potential site. At times like these those of us in the Aerospace Valley recognize we engage in our craft freely. Ive been in it 45 years. We recognize the contribution we make to a nation, the traveling public and the the general contribution to an amazing industry that provide transportation to the entire world. But when we have a mishap from the Test Community we find the Test Community is very small. And were human. And it hurts. And, our hearts thoughts, prayers, absolutely with families of victims. We do know one of the crewmembers was was met by emergency responders, treated on the scene and transported to Antelope Valley hospital. We also know we had one fatality. I want to also acknowledge the artisans, craftsmen, engineers, the emergency responders, the technicians, the janitors, everybody in this industry that gives it their all every single day. These parking lots are filled seven days a week. Is forcing te to do this. I cant speculate at this time on the cause. I know george is going to address that. Again, chief, and donnie, i want to say thanks to the emergency responders. You guys have been with us and you will be with us every step of the way for years. And to your team personally, we say thanks. At this time turn it over to george for a statement. Chief . Our pardon me, sheriff. Sheriff donny youngblood. The involvement of the Sheriffs Office will be in the lead. I got a call there had been anomaly and mishap. I flew out, flew around the crash site. It is a large area. The aircraft is in several different pieces. We found one person who was obviously deceased immediately. The other was transported to the hospital. I dont have the condition we left here. It appeared to be major injuries. But, we dont know if that is what really what that means yet. But we. Our thoughts and prayers are with the family. We hope the survivor will be just fine. Gerri so you have been listening to a press conference in the Mojave Desert where hours ago today, Virgin Galactic spaceship ii crashed into the desert. There is one fatality. We have guests on hand with a press conference. We have no reasons for the crash. No one at the press conference was describing why. I want to go to tom, tom jones, the former astronaut who has been watching this. What the original speaker ceo stuart whit said the contribution we make gives transportation to the entire world. Were looking for more immediate answers as to what caused crash. What do you make of it . I think this is the 55th test flight for spaceship ii. They were testing a new engine propellant combination. They have had delays development of this engine design. The development with the plastic and nitrous oxide of two propellants something went wrong after ignition despite many test runs on the ground. Obviously an engine failure looks like. You will have to unpack telemetry from the data and find out what caused the explosion. It will be up to Richard Branson and colleagues to decide the pace they replace spaceship ii and begin the test program again. Gerri tariq, what do you make of next steps here . What happens next. As tom mentioned, the kind of next immediate step to definitely understand what the a mom any was. Was it traced back to the engine. What was it about the new proehl pep lent or new mod poe appellant or new modification that caused that to happen. I spoke with george white earlier this month, ahead of this test, he mentioned rocket powered flight test was imminent, that it was coming soon and they were actually at that time still about 40 percent or so done with the next version. So they have already begun construction of the second vehicle in this fleet. Obviously that work might be paused while they take a look what, what safety improvements or changes might need to be put into place. Gerri we just heard from the press conference that the investigation of this crash is expected to take several days. As we know the ntsb will be on the scene. They have a go team prepared to investigate this as well. You heard also from Richard Branson from twitter no less, his first thoughts on this. I want to review quickly here, what was planned . This was supposed to be Space Tourism and already the company signed up 700 people for flights next year at a price of some 250,000 each. Mr. Branson said he, he wanted to be on the very first flight with his mother. Lots of celebrities signed up, paying this total. Of Something Like 80 million to ride on these planes. Last thoughts before we take a break, tom to you. You mentioned before that spaceflight is full of fits and starts. What do you say . I think this is going to go forward. I think this will expose more people broadening to spaceflight, conducting business into space, expanding industry to space. Companies like Virgin Galactic will be part of this. We knew there with would be accidents. Everybody one knows this. Question how fast the community can recover. Test of enthusiasm Going Forward how quickly and branson and his colleagues bounce back. Gerri thank you so much for being with us today. Great information. Great perspective. Wee appreciate your time. We have a lot more to come, including voter fraud. Are votes counted correctly.

Many contests expect to be extremely tight. It is critical every vote is counted correctly. There are tonight new concerns over voter fraud. Fox news anchor and Senior Correspondent eric shawn has been investigating and is here now. How big of a problem is this. Great to be with you. I really cant stand people say there is no voter fraud. Happens around the country. Seemingly new cases. Last week a woman in tennessee was indicted with vote buying. Two guilty pleas cocaine and cash for votes, trading coke for votes. Would you sell your vote . Gerri no. In tennessee, 8,000, 8,000 people over a series of elections sold their votes for 25, 50 bucks, one person sold their vote, for 800. The politicians down there spent 400 grand over a period to steal the elections. How about voting more than once, two or three times this is symbolic case. She was a poll worker in cincinnati. She was accused voting eight times. She pled to voting four times. Twice, in the 2012 president ial election, said she was proud of it. She did it. She is out of jail now. As part of that investigation they also caught a nun, a nun who even committed voter fraud. Let me tell you this, this another big one. These are petitions that put the president of the United States on ballot in indiana. He legally actually did not qualify . In 2008, in indiana, to get on the ballot, when you run for president you have to have 500 signatures from each congressional district. Up in st. Joseph county, south bend, notre dame, mr. Obama in 2008 qualified with 534 signatures. 34 cushion. Hillary at 704. 90, 90 are fake. They faked them. Four people convicted. One sentenced to jail. If it came out middle of president ial campaign, fraud touch ad race for white house, what do you think that would do . Not saying that he was improperly elected. But just the fact if this made public, it was three years after it happen people dont belief this could potential touch a race for highest office in the land. Gerri what about i. D. . What about showing i. D. Before you vote . I cant buy cold medication without an i. D. How come i can vote without an i. D. . Into that is controversial issue. Some states have voter i. D. Some with photo and i. D. Some not. People in texas, which has one of the strictest laws, people are reporting to have problems getting eye december. Rhode island a blue state. Democratic governor. Democratic state legislature. Democratic secretary of state loves voter i. D. S. They have had no problems. 585,000 people voted in rhode island. 186 did not have i. D. S because voted by provisional ballot because there are ways to potentially vote. That will be controversial issue. Well hear after the election, lawsuits will start from people who say they could not get an i. D. Lead plaintiff of aclu case in philadelphia couldnt get one they filed a lawsuit. She walked in got one. Gerri unbelievable reporting a rick shaun. Terrific reporting. Thank you. Gerri with us the hans with the heritage foundation. One of countrys foremost experts on voter fraud. We are joined by Emily Tish Sussman who thinks voter fraud is not a problem. Emmillly, you say it is not a problem. Her pervasive is it it and why in your issue is not issue. With all due respect to reporting we talked about, Washington Post looked into every al alleged case of voter fraud since 2000 and 2014 and found 31 cases. 31 cases out of over a billion. We dont often use that term in serious way. Over a billion vote cast. I dont think you need to be math major to figure out that is not statistically significant. As opposed amount of people it is impacting. There are estimates this new texas law will impact 600,000 people. Not going to be able to vote. Gerri lets allow hands to respond to this as you heard emily said. It is not a big deal. It doesnt happen that often. What do you say, hans. The Washington Post was very faulty. I wrote a book two years ago with john fund and we listed many more cases of voter fraud than. That just in the past week, as eric shawn said we had numerous cases come out, include thing by the way case in mississippi, indictment of seven individuals whose fraud changed outcome of an election. And we have a senate races coming up all over the country. Very tight races. Study came out last week on noncitizens who are voting in this country and have voted in past elections. They, concluded that noncitizens may have given barack obama his win in North Carolina in 2008 because so many noncitizens voted there. Lets talk about noncitizens with emily. What do you make of this question of noncitizens voting. Sure. I mean theyre not citizens. They shouldnt be voting. For the most part, theyre not voting. Show me how these laws that are packed, lets even put voter i. D. Aside. Show me laws packed, how the cost benefit analysis is there for any one of these cases youre talking about, any one of these new cases youre reporting on . What about cutting down early voting . What about cutting down voting by mail . You know, your guest referenced provisional ballots, can always go to provisional ballots if youre not registered at that location. Not the case in North Carolina anymore. You cant vote provisional ballot outside where youre registered. That might not be your mistake. That might be mistake of polling location. Gerri we cover ad lot of ground here, emily. Hans, to you, i look at these cases people who are critical your stance on this, always say, you know it is anecdotal, the evidence really isnt there. Just tonight from sean we heard five cases in one ohio county. If there are five cases in one ohio county, Goodness Gracious how many exist actually have not been uncovered . Look at this list of numbers. 8,000 cases of vote sell until kentucky . Vodka for votes in arkansas . Cocaine for votes in texas. Absentee ballot fraud in new york. How do we fight this hans, without having people show i. D. At the polls . Well you cant because it is extremely hard to detect fraud after it occurs. We not only need i. D. For inperson voting an absentee voting we need laws like kansas arizona have passed require proof of citizenship when you register to vote. We have elections all over the country decided by a very small number of votes and in many instances that fraud could make the difference. Like it did in 2008 in the al franken norm coleman race in minnesota. Gerri on and on it goes. Hans an emily, thank you. Eric shawn, thank you so much for your reporting.
