5:00 pm
like a science fiction movie. melissa: you have to be careful with the chefs. >> happy birthday to my mom. couple days before mother's day. happy birthday, mom. melissa: that's sweet. that does it for us. "the evening edit" starts right now. no nobody thought this was going to be happen. if it did it would be years or decades, frankly. nobody thought this was going to happen. and, i appreciate kim jong-un doing this. and allowing him to go. we picked a time and we picked a place. picked place for the meeting or summit as we like to call it. think it will be successful. as i always say, who knows. liz: tonight president trump will greet three american hostages just released by north korea. a major foreign policy victory. now this. which major foreign leader want as sit-down summit with trump? get to your money.
5:01 pm
oil hitting three-year high. media in overdrive, the companies will be slapped by trump pulling out of the deal. but the media is wrong. we have the facts coming up. gina haspel fighting to set the record straight. correcting senate law make other on cia interrogation and more. saying they got it all wrong. we have it all covered. we bring you the facts for headlines you will see tomorrow. i'm elizabeth macdonald. "the evening edit" starts right now. ♪ let's check your money. oil hitting a 3-year high, over 71 bucks a barrel after the u.s. exited the iran nuke deal. first president trump is set to
5:02 pm
create three american hostages tonight at 2:00 in the morning at andrews air force base. coming home after being held in north korea reportedly under brutal conditions as secretary of state mike pompeo finalizing plans for the historic summit between trump and north korean leader kim jong-un. let's bring in retired general thomas mcinerney. general, stunning victory for the white house. what do you think? >> absolutely, liz. who would have ever predicted a year ago president trump could orchestrate this, having a summit and exchanging hostages, et cetera. it is absolutely brilliant. liz: general, do you think the white house played hard ball, you know what we're not going to get your summit, we'll not talk about a summit unless you release these guys? do you think that is precondition. >> i'm sure it is. do not know definitely. we know president trump knows "the art of the deal." he had to put something into it. that is why things are moving a lot better than the community organizer we had for the last
5:03 pm
eight years. liz: you know, general, the president said place and time for the summit will be announced in three days. won't be at the dmz. now this, a top russian diplomat, that putin want as sit-down summit with trump. your reaction? >> that wouldn't hurt despite what the democrats orchestrated with the russian collusion we have to be working with russia. they have the largest nuclear stockpile. i do not believe we can get negotiations going in north korea until we have accommodation with the russians and chinese. i think it would be smart business to sit down with them. liz: remember this flashback when quote, experts, warned president trump would start a war with north korea after the president threatened to rain fire and fury on it. the pundits continued to say that even after trump started and his white house started shuttle diplomacy to dial that back. watch this. take a listen. >> it is more likely than not that there is a conflict possibly a full-blown war.
5:04 pm
>> we're probably closer to an outright war with north korea. >> there is about 20% chance that we'll end up exchanging ordnance with north korea at some point in a fairly significant way. >> i think we should be concerned that this escalation of rhetoric between leaders two of countries that have nuclear weapons is slipping very quickly. >> you have reason to be dared dared -- scared after war that could wipe out 500,000 people. liz: what do you make of this analysis now, general? >> their analysis is atrocious. president trump's strategy is absolutely brilliant. i think that why peace through strength, his motto, is working. he has got the best national security team we have ever had i believe in our history, with number one, he is president. number two, with secretary of state pompeo. with secretary of defense mattis and with john bolton. that is a brilliant national security team. liz: let's turn to gina haspel
5:05 pm
facing a grilling at a senate hearing, nominated as cia first female director. the cia releasing declassified info saying did not mislead about the videotapes. haspel adamant not using torture and ininterrogations. haspel says torture does not work. the senators still pressed gina as haspel. >> let me say this about myself. after 9/11 i didn't look to sit on the swiss desk. i stepped up. i was not on the sidelines. i was on the front lines in the cold war. and i was on the front lines with fight against al qaeda. i'm proud we captured the perpetrator of 9/11, khalid sheikh mohammad. i think we did extraordinary work. to me the tragedy the controversy around the interrogation program, i indicated to smart warner, i fully understand that, it cast a
5:06 pm
shadow what is a major contribution to protecting this country. liz: general, nobody disputes her resume'. dianne feinstein and joe manchin like her. help us work through this. haspel testified, i don't think torture works. she is holding the cia to higher moral standard. but says the u.s. did get valuable information from al qaeda operatives that stopped further attacks. what is your reaction to this? >> she is doing an excellent job weaving through stupid questions, liz. the fact she was in the middle of the fire. she was working the problem. she was working to save america and go after those radical islamists, they're asking absolutely stupid questions. it reflects on the democratic party who doesn't really care about terrorism or frankly national security. that whole party should be ashamed of themselves. liz: this is about stuff that happened 17 years ago. there have been talk of reforms within the intelligence community and now this, general. 9/11 terrorist khalid sheikh
5:07 pm
mohammed asked to talk to senators about gina haspel, what is going on here? >> more politics by the democrats. they're desperate. they're absolutely in deep trouble. they're trying to work their way out of it. every time they try to do something with president trump he pulls off what he did in north korea, and what he is doing in iran. all those things the president is doing is for america. the democrats are doing everything they can do as did the previous presinto hurt america in the long run. liz: let's get to iran as you pointed out. thiss coming up as wel iranian lawmakers burn an american flag in parliament chanting death to america after they withdraw from the iran deal. u.s. oil off to 3 1/2 year highs, 71 bucks a barrel. a lot of media overreaction here. we're hearing from wall street u.s. companies will not be hurt. yes, boeing has one with $20 billion worth deals. europe will be hurt more,
5:08 pm
france, italy, germany, much more exposed than the u.s. your reaction to that? >> that may be true. the europeans are trying to stay in it because it's a cash cow from them. they're not looking at it from the national security responsibility as that the united states has. they're looking at it as for trade. we had them on the ropes until obama gave them $150 billion. that economy was about to fail. the mullahs were about to go out of business until the obama administration and the demonstrates came up with this insane jcpoa, that gave them $150 billion and bailed them out, liz. it makes no sense. liz: obama gave a pariah state a lifeline, tried to normalize an abnormal country, using money to defund terrorism and detablize countries in the region. china is iran's biggest buyer. iran needs oil to survive. you can imagine a lot of cheating is going to go on here. >> there will be. india, japan, korea, they use
5:09 pm
awful lot of iranian oil as well. whether they obey the sanctions will remains to be seen but the fact is we're going to be fine. we'll robly increase our oil out put through the fracking, which is extremely beneficial. it creates jobs in the united states. liz: yeah. >> it makes it a much more stable marketplace. turning back to the obama administration and this iran deal, obama's iran deal was never put through the senate. the senate would have rejected it. it did not cut off, instead delayed iran getting a nuke. it didn't cut off iran nukes, delayed them getting it. sir, remember when obama official ben rhodes said the media is too stupid to understand obama's iran narrative because they're too young to report on it. you remember ben rhodes saying that? >> i remember it very well. the fact he was right. they are too stupid. look i don't think they missed a beat. they're doing lots of things they could do when they got the new infusion of money. they're developing icbm fleet.
5:10 pm
they were paying off russians for nuclear development on the facility there. they were buyg s-300 missiles, a whole host of things that make a nuclear country more capable. and so they didn't miss a beat but they got $150 billion. they spread radical islam throughout the whole middle east. that was not a good deal for the u.s. and the west. liz: he admits iran is backing terror. he did not bring that up in 2015 talking about his deal. john kerry has been doing his own quote, shadow diplomacy in iran, basically wait it out, iran, president trump will not win in 2020. we'll get your deal back for you. president trump is saying the u.s. should get out of the deal since he launched the campaign in 2015. msnbc suggest ising that president trump pulled out of the deal, to quote, deflect from scandals. let's watch. >> it was a campaign promise. it does appeal possibly to his base but totality of this
5:11 pm
president's behavior and decisions does lead me to question why he does anything and whether or not it i to deflect from something else. ihink don't he has the moral compass to m a decision based on our own national security even at this point. liz: general, your reaction to that? >> she is a twit, liz. liz: that is harsh. >> i know it is harsh but it is factual. this whole russian collusion is conducted by the democratic party. it is becoming evident to the american people. president trump, despite all the pressure on them and the attempt to have him be put out of office, impeached, he is a doing all these things he has done in iran, done on global warming, doing in north korea, and some very difficult situations and he has done more than any president has in the year plus that he has been in office, liz, than most of them ever did in eight years.
5:12 pm
liz: general, set the record straight what irans has been doing since the obama 2015 deal? what has iran been up to? >> they spread radical islam throughout the middle east, in syria, in lebanon, in yemen. they are increasing their efforts to destablize the region to take it over. they developed a icbm fleet. let's see, they continued to buy weapons from, from russia and they have made their position much stronger and more difficult adversary in the region. so they have continued to destablize the middle east and they have built up their position because president obama funded radical islam more than any other human in history with that $150 billion. he increased the instability in the region to include afghanistan. liz: now saudi arabia may develop a bomb. we're on that story. good to see you, sir.
5:13 pm
general, we love having you on. >> thank you, liz. liz: let's get to the money. three major indices closing in the green. twenty-first century fox, parent of fox business, just reporting profits. look at this story, comcast wants to go toe-to-toe with walt disney over buying twenty-first century fox studio and tv assets, certain of them. all-cash bid. comcast's stock under pressure. could be the world's most indebted corporate borrower to do all of this, including buying sky. 170 billion in debt possibly there. nicole petallides in thick action on the floor of the stocks exchange. >> gains across the board. dow jones industrial average up 182 points. the s&p 500 gained a full percentage point. some energy stocks leading the way on the dow as oil moved above $71 a barrel. the highest levels since 2014 since on the heels of yesterday when president donald trump pulled out of the iran nuclear deal. we also saw
5:14 pm
twenty-first-century-fox come out with the quarterly numbers after the bell, the parent of the fox business network. beating on revenue, miss on earnings per share. the stock at 52-week high yesterday. walmart won the battle over india's flipkart. the stock sold off. betting on tech, all in the light of bitcoin. back to you. liz: great to see you, nicole. this just in. twenty-first century fox executive chairman, lachlan murdoch, saying in the earnings call with wall street the company expects to ask shareholder approval for the disney deal coming up this summer. we'll stay on the deal. minority leader nancy pelosi still doubling down saying she will raise your taxes if democrats get control. the growing mutiny, the rebellion among democrats against pelosi. misreporting by the media of president trump pulling out the
5:15 pm
iran deal. media research executives here to call them out. 32-year veteran spymaster, possibly the cia's first female director, gina haspel, slammed on the hill by democrats but she is fighting back. we'll bring in "washington times" opinion editor charlie hurt will react after this. it's easy to think that all money managers are pretty much the same. but while some push high commission investment products, fisher investments avoids them. some advisers have hidden and layered fees. fisher investments never does. and while some advisers are happy to earn commissions from you whether you do well or not, fisher investments fees are structured so we do better when you do better. maybe that's why most of our clients come from other money managers. fisher investments. clearly better money management.

5:18 pm
i'm 85 years old in a job where. i have to wear a giant hot dog suit. what? where's that coming from? i don't know. i started my 401k early, i diversified... i'm not a big spender. sounds like you're doing a lot. but i still feel like i'm not gonna have enough for retirement. like there's something else i should be doing. with the right conversation, you might find you're doing okay. so, no hot dog suit? not unless you want to. no. schedule a complimentary goal planning session today with td ameritrade®. >> i did not run the interrogation department. in fact i was not read into the interrogation program until it was up and running for a year. >> were you an advocate for destroying the tapes? >> senator, i absolutely was an advocate if we could, in conforming to u.s. law and if we could policy concurrent to eliminate the security risk posed to our officers by those
5:19 pm
tapes. liz: confrontational senate hearing for gina haspel, would stop enhanessed interrogations. haspel contradicting the president, that torture does not work, correcting media reports about her work on the interrogation program. the cia classified a report ahead of the hearing that cleared haspel of any wrongdoing destroying evidence in those videotapes. "washington times" opinion editor, fox news contributor charles hurt. still defending things that went on a decade ago. reportedly, the thing is, charlie, sought to possibly withdraw her name from consideration due to the pressure. what is your response there? >> quite frankly, liz, i think the reason she offered to withdraw had more to do with the fact she was worried about the cia and the reputation of her fellow officers at cia. she didn't want to drag the cia through anything that was, through a path that could be distorted by democrats. of course we've seen from the
5:20 pm
hearing today that the democrats are all too happy to distort everything that happened, take it all out of context. after 9/11, it was a terrifying time. people felt like the clock was ticking. we didn't know when there would be more terror attacks. and, brave people like gina haspel stepped into the breach and did all that they could, that was, all of it was legal. all these democrats talk about, was it ethical? doesn't matter whether it was ethical or moral. what matters what was legal. what were you directed by your government to legally do. liz: that's right. the congress signed off on these laws. >> absolutely. liz: charlie, do the democrats understand what a lonely job it is to work in the cia or the fbi? i mean it is hard to argue with her resume', more than three decades serving the government. even dianne feinstein supports her. >> every single one of those democrats including nancy pelosi knew all about the enhanced interrogation techniques and didn't say anything about it at the time.
5:21 pm
to sit back now, 15 years later to second-guess, basically people who wer the first-responders to the wor terror attack u.s. history at that time, to second guess all of it, i think makes them look really foolish. liz: charlie, do you wonder when a cia nominee or any intelligence official nominee will come forward and say, guys, why don't you come try doing this job and work in the trenches with us for just one day it see what it is like? >> i would love to see that. i would love to see somebody confront each one of these people. we saw it a little bit when jack reed of rhode island was grilling her about some hypothetical nonsense, but ultimately what he wound up doing is comparing cia agents who were trying to get information about future terror attacks that would kill innocent people, comparing those good people to some of these horrible beasts, terrorists who committed these crimes against all these
5:22 pm
innocent people. she said, i'm sorry, i don't see any comparison between those two. it really shut him up. he wasn't able to say anything else. i think it's a terrible, a terrible fight for democrats to try to mount right now. liz: switching gears, cnn, really going all-out, supporting "usa today" editorial comparing the iran deal, to watch this, to buying a car. >> a gem of annalgy from the "usa today," writing about pulling out of the iran deal. let's put that up on the screen for folks. imagine if average americans conducted their personal lives as capriciously as the president conducts foreign policy as though you bought a car, decided after the fact, you didn't light the color or the gas mileage, tore up the sales agreement and walked away from remaining payments. would anyone trust selling you another vehicle? trump has a lot of cars yet to buy, not the least of which is a new nuclear deal with north korea.
5:23 pm
bravo "usa today" editorial board. liz: they got bravos. is the iran deal like buying a car? >> these people are so dumb. the threat to the first amendment and the media, these people are so stupid. you want to go back, the reason donald t wase to tear up the iran d because barack obama didn't submit his stupid deal to congress. the reason he didn't submit it to congress because congress would have never approved it. and the reason they would never would have approved it because of huge number of democrats from his own party in the house and the senate re, would never gone along with it. liz: charlie, remember when ben rhodes, obama official, bring it up again the media is too young and too stupid to understand obama's iran narrative. your reaction to that? >> the general is right. it is probably true. they took it hook, line, sinker, every little sort of fiat thing that barack obama did can't be undone? i'm sorry, if you did it by fiat, it can be undone by fiat.
5:24 pm
liz: charlie hurt, love having you on. come back soon. >> thanks, liz. liz: house minority leader nancy pelosi doubling down again saying she will raise your taxes if democrats win back power in the midterm. we have the sound and growing mutiny, rebellion among democrats who don't like her. they're against nancy pelosi. first the media not too happy with trump pulling out of the iran deal but they are misreporting what is really going on with iran. we'll bring in media research center to set the record straight after this. ♪ termites, feasting on homes 24/7.

5:28 pm
reneging on the nuclear deal with iran. >> across europe there is a chill tonight that the u.s. under president trump may not be a reliable partner anymore. >> they have basically said to the rest of the world, we are not obeying an agreement that we signed, and that the united states of america under one administration can sign deals but it will not be trusted by subsequent presidents. liz: media outlets reporting about the unease with president trumps decision it withdraw from the iran nuclear deal as iranian lawmakers burn a u.s. flag chanting "death to america" in response to the news that america is pulling out. we have media research director rich noise. the media coverage is pretty one-sided. deal did not cut off iran getting a bomb, it delayed getting it. that is lost in the coverage. what is your reaction? >> you're exactly right, it did not, there was a sunset
5:29 pm
provision where iran could do what it wanted after 2025. it didn't touch the ballistic missile program. it didn't address the bad actions iran has taken throughout the middle east. the news media as trump reneging on an american promise. president obama made this specifically a executive agreement. did not get this to ratify as treaty, then it would have full force of an american agreement. this one president overturning executive action of another president. it was entirely within his constitutional powers to do it. the only tack they're using is this kind of guilt a dangerous thing for trump to assert his prerogatives when obama was given full rain of his prerogatives, it's a double standard. liz: to your point, here is what the media is not addressing. we've been tracking reporting there. they're not tracking, not reporting how flawed the obama deal was, according to both democrats and republicans. the senate would not have okayed it to these democrats or republicans we talked to.
5:30 pm
obama railroaded it through just like obamacare. to your point it did not allow inspections of military sites. it did not stop iran from developing ballistic missiles. to your point iran can work on centrifuges in seven years time. >> right. polls taken back in 2015 when this was up before the senate, cnn had a poll in the summer of that year, 58% of the public was against this deal. the public even today sees iran as lying and cheating in this deal. the media message seems to be, well iran is lying and cheating but this deal is better than nothing. what the president is saying, iran is lying and cheating, therefore this deal isn't worth anything. that is a strong argument for him to have. liz: president trump's job approval rating is rising. the "real clear politics" average puts it around 43%. that is the highest it has been in the past year. "real clear politics" does an average of about a dozen polls, including gallop and quinnepiac. trump's approval ratings are
5:31 pm
going up in face of onslaught of negative headlines. a report from your country says 90% of the covag is negative so far this year. can you talk to us about that? >> yeah. this is again, the same trend we've seen from the campaign through the president's first year in office and now deep into the president's second year in office. abc, cbs, nbc, we use them as a proxy for the rest of the media, i can tell you cnn, msnbc, big newspapers all have the same adversarial approach, 90% negative. that is split between 81% negative on coverage of his policies and 97% negative coverage of his controversies and scandals. in the face of all of that avalanche of negative press his approval rating is going up which tells me the public is less and less relying on media to find out what is going on and relation on based on their own experience, economy improving, maybe peace breaking out in north korea. things are better in the
5:32 pm
public's eyes than media eyes. >> push by democrats to get the approval ratings down in the 20 to impeach him. that is the backstory there. rich, thank you for coming on. really appreciate it. be sure to tune into lou dobbs tomorrow night at 7:00 p.m. eastern time. he will have special coverage of president trump's rally in indiana. that rally will focus on the economy and the president's america first agenda. coming up misleading polls, is that still a problem? look at this the media was drumming up a last-minute surge for a controversial republican candidate. turns out the candidate was a flop in west virginia. my next guest says watch out, you will see more of that in the midterms coming up. ♪ and market volatility isn't top of mind. that's because they have a shield annuity from brighthouse financial, which allows them to take advantage of growth opportunities in up markets, while maintaining a level of protection in down markets. so they're less concerned with market volatility

5:36 pm
>> primaries are starting and we picked up on a theme in the media. how it is reporting on the races, an undercurrent we're spotting. could potentially mislead voters. here is what is going on. despite controversial west virginia candidate don blankenship losing in dramatic fashion several media outlets reporting on the day of the primary that he was surging, even leading up to last night's election with headlines from "politico." blankenship surging on the eve of the west virginia senate primary. this headline, polls show blankenship ahead, sparking manic among gop. in truth blankenship finished third in the senate primary 15
5:37 pm
points behind patrick morrissey. to the political power panel. good to see you both. >> good to see you, liz. >> good to be here. liz: what is your reaction to the headlines? >> from my understanding what i'm getting with blankenship, it was a surge in the fact that his notoriety was starting to become a household name because people were starting to get wind of his controversial ads. who is the guy saying things, raising eyebrows. we have to understand he came away with 20% of the vote. that means anti-establishment under current we continue to see going on around the country continues to be a wave here. we see that republicans and the gop have to play "whack-a-mole" when it comes to candidates like blankenship. they don't want them to tank the possibility for winning districts and or states they can possibly win very well. so again, you know, blankenship was surging. i don't think it was numbers. popularity as far as know right. liz: interesting point you make about note -- notoriety.
5:38 pm
they say he was surging up in polls. "washington post" write being, just because blankenship lost does not mean he doesn't represent republicans. that a racist felons represents the republican party? >> you could twist that very easily to say anti-semitic members of the democratic party represent them and clearly that is not true. but i do have to -- liz: why would you say that? why would you make that point? >> because a minor blip on the radar of a political party does not blanket the entire party what that particular person believes. but i would say that i do agree with wendy on what she said previously but polls are very fickle things. it depends on who they were surveying, what questions they asked, how they asked them, when and a host of other things. for people to say on the eve of this, that he was surging is, was obviously misleading because he came in third. but i don't put a lot of stock in polls. liz: wendy to katy's point, the
5:39 pm
polls had hillary winning. people are saying why should we trust polls? hillary won the popular vote but she didn't win in the key electoral college states. i don't want to relitigate the what happened in the election. question is about polling, people don't trust the polls. disaster in the past predictive value. >> absolutely. katy is right here. when we talk about polls that segment of the population but didn't take necessarily a pulse of the overall individuals who are going to be going to the polls and casting their is vote. >> that is a big issue. liz: that is the point. >> exactly. liz: sorry, wendy, finish your point. >> no, i was going to say whether you sit on left side of aisle or right side of the aisle, anyone to take polls are saying take that to the bank, my party will win or this candidate will win is very premature. liz: stay on wendy's point there. polls are not capturing what people are doing when they walk into the booth, right, katy? they don't capture last-minute decisions people make, right?
5:40 pm
>> they don't, absolutely. anything could change something in a poll. how is the person feeling that day. who surveyed? what adjust came out? how much they actually know about the person. often times we see again and again and again, when someone gets into the voting booth, what happens in the actual outcome is very different than any poll saying someone was surging or not. liz: wendy, katy, you will be back with us shortly. thanks so much, guys. this story coming up. democrat nancy pelosi doubling down still. she is again saying we'll raise your taxes if we win power in the midterms. the walter mondale democrats coming to the fore. my next guest can not believe that is the plan to win. republican conference vice-chair, congressman doug collins will join me next. don't go away.

saying we are going to raise your taxes if the democrats win power in the midterms. >> it is said that you would like to institute a single-payer healthcare program and cancel, raise taxes i think they mean, roll back the tax cuts that they passed this year. is that, what do you think of that -- >> the second part is accurate. [laughter]. i do think that we should revisit tax legislation in a way that we always have. liz: pelosi intending to run for house speaker again if democrats regain the majority in the house this november. let's bring in republican conference vice-chair georgia congressman doug collins. great to see you, sir. >> great to see you as well. liz: running on raising taxes. talking about single-payer. will take $16 trillion in taxes to pay for bernie sanders's single-payer plan. >> if they want to go on another malaise tour, that is fine. we'll go on a hope and promise tour which we passed tax cuts.
