5:00 pm
said i welcome their hatred. >> you do? >> i do. when i covered barack obama, i was just as tough on him. people might not believe that. [ laughter ] >> jim acosta claiming he's always been tough with presidents. you be the judge, take a listen. >> i wanted to ask you what some people are calling your best week ever. >> all right, that was a question to president obama, your best week ever. >> here's "the evening edit." >> i want to have peace in the world, that's what i want, more so than the nobel peace prize or any other prize, i'd like to see peace ideally in the middle east but in the entire world, and i think we have a chance of doing it. liz: president trump weighing in on north korea, china trade, the european union, syria and more. we're on it. this as the u.s. comes up with a possible deal on north korea nukes, but will north korea take it and meet with president trump next month? we'll bring you the details. and tough negotiations as u.s.-china trade talks kick
5:01 pm
off. trade hawk peter navarro effectively sidelined. we're all over it. politics, money, we cover tomorrow's headlines. i'm elizabeth macdonald. "the evening edit" starts right now. . liz: the dow closing the day slightly lower. dow 54 points, ending at 24714. president trump says china trade talks may not be successful. we'll get to that in a moment i well. while meeting with nato secretary-general sultenburg, president trump weighed in on china, syria, the eu and more. asking president trump about north korea and whether meeting with the leader kim jong-un is still on? >> would you consider a personal outreach to kim to keep him moving toward? >> see what happens, have you
5:02 pm
want to to do it. with deals, that's what i do, and with deals you have to have two parties that want to do it. he absolutely wanted to do it. perhaps he doesn't want to do it, perhaps they spoke with china that could be right. president xi, a friend of mine. great guy. but he's for china and i'm for the united states. that's the way it is and i suspect it's never going to change. but i will say this, we are continuing to negotiate in terms of location. the location as to where to meet, how to meet, rooms and everything else and they've been negotiating like nothing happened. but if you read the newspapers, maybe it won't happen. i can't tell you yet, i will tell you very shortly, we're going to know very soon. liz: joining me republican florida congressional candidate michael waltz, good to see you, colonel. >> thank you. liz: what are the chances of the u.s.-north korea summit going forward next month? >> i think there's a decent chance there. we're seeing posturing.
5:03 pm
i served in bush white house and saw the six-party talk then progress from 2003 to 2008 and the north koreans are going to want incremental aid and incremental relief of sanctions in exchange for incremental backing away from the program. a lot of folks forget that the north koreans had a very public destruction ceremony of plutonium reactor in 2008 where, it invited international officials and journalists and look where we are today. so this is another play right out of the north korean playbook, and don't think for a second it's missile engineers and nuclear engineers aren't busy little bees trying to perfect that icbm. so this administration has to have its eyes wide open and they say they do. liz: you know, we were tracking the story from the beginning of the talks, colonel. in reference to this. the idea the north korean leader does not want to end up
5:04 pm
in the same fate as libya's leader muammar qaddafi and saddam hussein. watch. >> the model, if you look at that model with qaddafi, that was a total decimation. we went in there to beat him. now that model would take place if we don't make a deal, most likely. if we make a deal i think kim jong-un is going to be very, very happy. i really believe he's going to be very, very happy. this is just the opposite. >> i think what he's also saying is you can't equate libya with north korea, right? >> that's right. and the president has said, and i think rightly so that security guarantees are on the table if we see full denuclearization and the libya model was different in that they essentially handed everything over. i think that is what we need to see here with the north koreans, but the key is that the sanctions stay in place the entire time.
5:05 pm
we've had two key concessions here. one that the sanctions stay in place. our foot stays on the neck of the economy, and that two, the military exercises with the south koreans continue. what i worry about is that the south koreans want a deal so badly that they begin to hedge and we begin to have a wedge between the united states and ally in south korea. liz: and also about the incentives. libya is a member of opec, it sits on vast reservoirs of oil. the economy is half the size of vermont. there is an idea floated to get talk between u.s. and north korea back on track and the way do that is north korea gives up some nuclear weapons. so what nuclear weapons would they be allowed to keep? >> well, and here's where the wedges can start to form there. has been concern from the japanese, particularly from prime minister abe that the united states is only focused on the icbm and the portion that can threaten the united
5:06 pm
states and not nearly focused enough on the short range missiles that can hit japan and south korea, i can see the north koreans trying to drive wedges there on giving up things that matter to the united states, but not as much in terms of the region. look, at the end of the day, we have to keep the sanctions in ple, keep our foot on the north korean economy'sneck, and that will mean that welso have to maintain pressure on the chinese because that's where 90% of the north korean economy comes from. liz: switching gears, president trump brought up iran today. let's watch. >> my administration is also committed to working with our allies to halt iran's nuclear ambitions and destabilizing activities all across the middle east. no matter where you go, no matter where there's a problem, there is iran behind it. and we're not going to have that any longer. liz: colonel, what do you think of that? what was interesting is how the president was so tough all
5:07 pm
around. he's unusually confident, and he's really talking tough in iran there. go ahead. well, i think, he is demonstrating leadership and standing with allies, you know, hence the meeting today with the nato secretary-general, and showing strength and standing up to our adversaries, that's what we've been missing the last eight years, and what he also knows is the achilles' heel of iran is its economy. inflation is through the roof. currency is tanking, there are protests all over iran because the iranian people were expecting those billions that were released by the obama administration to help them and to help their economy, and instead, it's rounded right into moscow and a weapons buying spree and right over to proxies in syria and yemen and not helped the iranian people, i think the president knows, john bolton knows if we start turning and cranking those sanctions again, we'll be in a much better place to negotiate a much better deal from a position of strength.
5:08 pm
liz: listen to president trump about pulling out of the iran nuclear deal helped syria. >> yeah. >> i think we helped syria actually by withdrawing from the iran deal, which was a terrible deal for the united states. i think for the world. and i think syria or hopefully syria will start to stabilize. you see what's been happening. it's been a horror show, and have great respect for syria and the people of syria. these are great people. i know people from syria. these are great people. it was a great culture before it was so horribly blown apart. a place where people would go, where they had tremendous professional people as you know, doctors and lawyers, and it's friends of mine from the middle east that say we used to go to syria. that was a place to go, and you look at what's happened. it's so sad. but i'd like to see syria come back. liz: what do you think is the impact of the president's remarks about syria in syria and also in iran and russia when he says how great the
5:09 pm
syrian economy and the people used to be? >> well, again, it goes back to the economy, and the president knows, i think rightly, that when the europeans are looking and choosing between engaging in the iranian economy and the potential upside there compared to the potential downside of secondary sanctions from the united states, the choice will be clear and they're going to decide with the united states, we've seen that now already with french firms backing out of their iranian deals. and once the iranians have to look more inward and the iranian regime has to look inward at its own survival, it will have a lot less resources to begin mucking around in syria and other places, like it's been doing the last several years. so i think that's the long-term effect that the president is looking at and he's absolutely right. liz: there's a lot more real politique and who controls oil resources over there. we know russia trying to get a
5:10 pm
navy port on the coast of syria. a lot of people -- this is an unbelievable tug-of-war what's going on in the middle east. and we see iran's parliament burning the american flag. what was your reaction when you saw them doing that after the trump administration pulled out of the obama iran nuke deal? >> not only burning the american flag. let's remember that the iranians are holding a number of americans hostage, and have been holding them hostage for some years now, and the levinsohn family, a former fbi agent missing over a decade. there is a number of -- a number of indicators here that the iranians were not ready to enter into -- to being responsible actors across the middle east. they're looking to dominate the middle east and whether they do that through a missile program, a nuclear program or proxies and surrogates through terrorism, the iranians are not our friends but respond to strength, and we need to stand up to him and that's what the president is doing.
5:11 pm
liz: president obama and his allies have been saying the way to keep tabs on iran is to stay on the nuke deal to get inspectors to watch what they're doing? >> that's such a flawed statement in the sense of the military bases that the inspectors couldn't go see, so that's like, i don't know, a criminal saying, well, my house is clean but the police can't check several of the rooms. you know. just a fundamentally flawed deal. and if they were abiding by that narrow portion, it expires in seven years. so in seven years, the iranians developed a missile program, developed the weaponization to marry the missiles with the nuclear warhead, it's seven years in that part of the world is a bli of the eye. and meanwhile, the gulf states are going to develop their own program and then looking at a nuclear arms race in the middle east. that is incredibly, incredibly dangerous. liz: it is striking how iran said we're going to flip the
5:12 pm
switch on nuclear enrichment quickly. that tells you something was going on here. thank you for your service to our country. thank you for coming on. >> thank you. liz: the dow down 54 point. that ten-year treasury yield, highest in nearly seven years. mortgage rates hitting 4.6%. that's also the seven-year high. nicole petallides on the floor of the new york stock exchange with the latest. nicole? reporter: it was back in force action. the dow finished down 54 points off the earlier lose of about 130 points. tech and telecom did not participate. we saw cisco systems weighing on the dow jones industrial average after a somewhat tepid outlook. walmart came under pressure after quarterly reports. we saw ford moving to the upside after the company said it will resume the production of the f-150 later this week into next week. also paypal has big news, and this is according to the "wall street journal." they may be in a deal for isettle, that will give them a footprint for brick and mortar
5:13 pm
payments around the globe. sold off on the news. the russell 2000, another record. back to you. >> thank you, nicole. next, canadian prime minister justin trudeau sat down with our very own susan li today and talked about canada, the u.s., mexico and the nafta deal. is it around the corner? we're going to bring you the latest. and president trump says the u.s. has been ripped off by china for far too long. this as the u.s. trade delegation is trying to hammer out a brand-new trade deal with china. bringing in the author of the coming collapse of china, gordon chang, he's going to tell us what the trade deal is going to look like. that's next.
5:15 pm
5:17 pm
canadian prime minister justin trudeau sat down with our own susan li today. he talked about the nafta deal. he gave information about whether we're close to it. susan li is going to give us that news. susan, what an interview! what did he say? reporter: he says they are close. a deal is on the table, but there are sticking points and let's listen into the canadian prime minister justin trudeau before i get to them. >> it's right down to the last conversations, and we know that those last conversations in any deal are extremely important, so i'm feeling positive about this, but it won't be done until it's done and people are working very, very hard on it right now. reporter: yep, and not moving towards u.s. domestic political deadlines either. so the two sticking points for him and he says for mexico is a sunset clause. any new deal they reach will expire in five years, that means in half a decade, they have to renegotiate. not happy about that.
5:18 pm
second sticking point is the arbitration system, what mechanisms if they have disputes in nafta can they go to? those are the big -- where they're wide apart on this point. autos, world of origin, how much north american parts need to go into each car in order to be tariff free. how many working hours in america need to be included to be tax free to move across borders? apparently there is s consensus there between all three countries. so it was a wide-ranging interview. as you know paul ryan, the speaker of the house, he says you have to get it on my desk by today to have authority to get it through this year. doesn't seem like it's going to happen. liz: interesting, not this year, maybe next year. susan li, i appreciate it. >> welcome. liz: tough trade negotiations of u.s. and china, continuing today in washington, a delegation headed by treasury
5:19 pm
secretary steve mnuchin, still working on the deal. here's president trump about it today. >> we have many of the chinese here today, as you know, big delegations, negotiating trade, because the united states has been ripped off for many, many years by its bad trade deals. i don't blame china, i blame leadership from the past. we have been ripped off by china, an evacuation of wealth like no country has seen before. liz: let's bring in the author of the coming collapse of china, he is gordon chang. good to you have on. great to see you. what is striking today president trump is blunt. he said china has become spoiled. eu is spoiled. he said they always get 100% of what they want, and the u.s. gets hurt. is he right? >> in many ways, he is. especially with regard to china. we've had this view to integrate china into the international system. it doesn't look good.
5:20 pm
the "wall street journal" is reporting and some administration sources are saying that there's an outline of a trade deal on the floor right now, and also that looks to be advantageous for china. so i suspect that after president trump's comments today, steve mnuchin may have to go back to the chinese delegation and sweeten it up a little bit. liz: what do you think it's going to look like? tell us specifically what the end result will look like? >> well, i think that zte, that embattled chinese telecom equipment manufacture will get sanctions relief. the chinese probably will lift their new tariffs on agricultural products, probable low remove nontariff barriers in the products as well. the chinese will give approval to qualcomm's bid for nxp semiconductors, the dutch firm. i'm not so sure we're going to see a lot of tariffs imposed under section 301 of the trade act of 1974. those would be imposed to
5:21 pm
protect u.s. intellectual property, and, you know, there's maybe a few other things there, but that's not a deal which is really good for the u.s. so i suspect as i mentioned, that mnuchin, who is in favor of a trade agreement right now, is probably going to have to go back and talk to the chinese and get a little bit more. maybe some promises of buying u.s. products, but nothing structural. liz: are we going to see a hard and fast number like the trade deficit will be cut by 100 billion or 200 billion, i don't think we're going to see that in the final hard and fast number. they're going to talk about the particulars, right? >> i don't think that that's going to be the case. i think that the chinese may say they'll open up their markets a little bit to us. in the financial sector, that would not be a good thing because we're starting to see a lot of chinese companies, especially the private ones, defaulting on bonds. $2 billion worth of bond defaults is unprecedented. inviting the u.s. into participating into china's
5:22 pm
financial sector at a time it's starting to slide down the drain doesn't strike me as a real victory. liz: how important with china and the trade talks, tell me how that intersects with china's pressure on north korea? >> i think china is using north korea as a bargaining chip to get leverage in the trade talk. we saw for instance, north korea become much tougher after the meetings that kim jong-un, the north korean ruler went to china twice in a row. what the chinese said was we're going to have your back and seen china sanctions busting really much more in the last two months, indicating that beijing has turned a corner from being a good guy to a bad guy again. and so right now the north koreans are saying look, looks like the chinese are pushing president trump around on zte for instance, the telecom maker, and i think the north koreans are piling on. liz: gordon chang, thanks for coming on. >> thanks liz. liz: robert mueller appointed
5:23 pm
special counsel to look into the russia collusion narrative one year ago. so far they have not found anything. that's coming up. we have more breaking news on that story. but first, the media blatantly twisting the truth what president trump said yesterday when he called illegal immigrants criminals -- criminal illegal immigrants animals. we'll show you how all of that went down and how it was reported. that's next.
5:24 pm

5:26 pm
hey rick, all good? oh yeah, we're good. we're good. termites never stop trying to get in, we never stop working to keep them out. terminix. defenders of home. . liz: when president trump met yesterday with california officials who are against the state sanctuary city law, fresno county sheriff margaret mimes is frustrated with how law enforcement is weakened in dealing with criminal illegal immigrants like members of ms-13 gang. here's the exchange between president trump and sheriff mims. >> there would be an ms-13 gang member, i know about, if they
5:27 pm
don't reach a certain threshold, i cannot tell i.c.e. about them. >> we have people coming into the country, trying to come in, we're stopping a lot of them. we're taking people out of country. you wouldn't believe how bad these people are. these aren't people. these are animals. and we're taking them out of country at a level and a rate that's never happened before. liz: okay, you can quibble with the use of the word animals by a sitting president, but the president was referring, you saw it right there to criminal illegals. liberal media outlets like cnn, "new york times," abc, and c-span left out the sheriff's comments reporting that the president called all immigrants animals, and look who's here, sheriff margaret mims joint joins me now, good to see you. >> good to be here. liz: were you surprised how they reported the exchange?
5:28 pm
>> i was thinkth when president responded to my comments, he's right. the gang members are vicious, violent people who prey on the innocent, and it's very unfortunate, i guess when the opposition takes that position, they're losing, i think the president came out ahead today. liz: have you come on the show and described how ms-13 have macheted and hacked people to death. the child rapists in the gang and more. and mayor sam abbott was on the show yesterday. he said this about california governor jerry brown, because jerry brown is now attacking officials like you. let's listen to what he said first. >> this has nothing to do with the immigration, we are no longer talking about immigration. we're no longer talking about the cost of immigration to the taxpayer. we are talking about harboring illegal criminals. the jerry brown, the governor has pardoned five illegal
5:29 pm
criminals and continues to care more about illegal criminals more than the immigrants or the american citizens. this is insanity, immoral. >> you know, sheriff, what's your reaction to that before we get on what governor jerry brown said? what's your reaction? >> well, he's very right. the sanctuary state law that took effect protects criminals. we're not talking here about our hard-working immigrants in our fields and food service, trying to make ends meet, trying to make a life here in america. we're talking about people who reach the threshold of getting arrested and getting booked into a local jail. unless they do reach that threshold. i cannot talk to i.c.e. about them. that's a travesty. liz: governor jerry brown said this about the immigration debate -- what's your reaction to officials being called a low
5:30 pm
life here? >> well, the governor's been wrong several times, and he's wrong about this. and i'm not afraid to say that. he has passed some laws, supported laws, signed bills that have been very damaging to public safety, and i'm looking forward to the day that those bills and laws are overturned because they do not make people safer. liz: you know, the governor and the democrats have cast this debate as your side is attacking immigrants, that you guys are fascist and racist and attacking the roundtable, the governor is, and the aclu said the group at that meeting, people like you, care more about serving the trump administration than their constituents. what's your reaction to that? >> the truth is that the sanctuary state law that's been passed really makes the fear in our communities greater. the law does not address victims. it does not address witnesses. but that's the rhetoric that's out there.
5:31 pm
it addresses criminals who are in jail, and that's who it protects. unfortunately, the rhetoric is to our community by the other side is now you're not safe because of public officials are not agreeing with the sanctuary state laws. so it's very unfortunate. it's really damaging to the relationship between law enforcement and our community, and it needs to stop. liz: can you react to the final point. we have a quick few seconds. former senators, barack obama, senator dianne feinstein, senator hillary clinton and bill clinton and civil rights activist at the time, now deceased, barbara jordan, said you've got to stop criminal illegals coming in. what is going on with the democrat party today, sheriff? >> i can't answer that. they were right then, and if they said that today, they'd be right still. unfortunately, they've made a u-turn and that's very damaging
5:32 pm
to the public that i'm sworn to protect. liz: are they out to get votes today? >> well, i think it's very, very political. it has nothing to do with public safety, and that's what i'm about. i've spent my career trying to keep the community safe. liz: thank you for your service to our country, appreciate you coming on. thank you. >> thank you. >> the one-year anniversary of the appointment of special counsel robert mueller to investigate collusion with the russian. so far nothing announced yet. we're going to get to more on that story, and to this -- this is all about you getting back control of your privacy. eu is going after big social media and tech companies like google and facebook. will the u.s. follow in what the eu is doing? you don't believe what's going on. that's next. as a control enthusiast,

5:36 pm
. liz: the official one-year anniversary of special counsel robert mueller and his investigation into russian meddling during the 2016 election and trump collusion is today. even though the investigation reportedly began earlier in october 2016. so effectively we're close to nearly two years on this and still no evidence presented of collusion. now reports indicate the fbi under obama placed informant within or near the trump campaign. that's according to news reports. allegedly to spy on the trump campaign even though no crime had been charged. the president tweeting this --
5:37 pm
there is probably no doubt they had at least one confidential informant inside the campaign. if so this is bigger than watergate. this as the president's attorney rudy giuliani says robert mueller did tell trump's legal team that he cannot and will not seek an indictment. watch. >> i asked him specifically if they realize or acknowledge they didn't have the power to indict, both under the justice department memo, which gives them their power in essence, confines their power, and under the constitution, and he said, well, he wouldn't answer, and one of the assistants said they acknowledge they had to be bound by justice department policies, and then the next day or the day after, they clarified it for jay sekulow, who was with me at the meeting, that they didn't have the power to indict, that what they would eventually do is write a memorandum and give it to the deputy attorney general.
5:38 pm
liz: so a deputy on the team according to rudy giuliani informed them that they -- under justice department memoranda that they cannot indict a sitting president, but fox news senior judicial analyst judge napolitano disagrees. watch. >> i don't know what bob mueller told rudy giuliani, but there are actually two memos in the d.o.j. one says the president can be indicted. the other says the president cannot be indicted. liz: the judge here also added a footnote that the president can be indicted according to a clinton-era memo from the justice department but the president cnot be prosecute while in office. is your head spinning yet? joining me former special assistant to president trump mark lotter. striking we're talking about indictment here, right? >> it is, because the fact is what do we have to indict on? nothing. it's been a year, more than a year, going back to the beginning after millions of documents, hundreds of hours of interviews with every witness that has been requested so far,
5:39 pm
and still, no evidence of collusion. the only thing we know for sure is that the democrats were the ones with hillary clinton paying foreign operatives to get dirt on then-candidate donald trump which they used to start the investigation, which apparently included spies from the fbi and still, no collusion, like the president said. you wonder why he calls it a witch-hunt. there it is right there. liz: we're going to get to that in a second. in doing reporting on the story, i have a number of sources within the fbi, one of them said that it hangs on the definition of collusion, and to fbi law enforcement officials, their definition of collusion is pretty broad. that is getting any help from a foreign country in your campaign. your reaction to that? >> i think that what we've seen so far is that it was the democrats that did that. liz: but that senate report came out and said intelligence said that the russians did want
5:40 pm
president trump to win and that there's the trump tower meeting, there was reach out from donald trump, jr. to get help. there's a concern there that that was something that passed there. go ahead. let's remember, that the russian interference, according to the senate intelligence report and the intelligence community started back in 2015, and the obama administration didn't do anything to stop that, and then, the russia meeting which was about adoptions and political dirt, while many say that that was not a wise move to make, that no actual information changed hands in regards to that, and so, again, we are left with the only people who exchanged money and got information are on the democratic side, and that there was no collusion with the russian government over this, and if they tried to intervene, well, then obviously we've also seen reporting that showed after the election that they staged rallies on both sides,
5:41 pm
pro and against the president-elect. so they want chaos. liz: i understand your point. let's stay on your point that the obama administration did not do anything about collusion at the time of the trump campaign. so you're saying that if there was collusion, the obama administration isn't doing anything about it because right now, marc, we have a bombshell report from the "new york times" saying the russia probe was nicknamed hurricane and counterintelligence official there to spy on the trump campaign without a crime alleged. what is the impact of this on domestic politics in the united states? >> two things. one real quickly is the russian interference or attempts to interfere in the election began back in 2015. liz: understood, i hear you. >> but we've got to wonder what were they actually doing? i've said this before. this teams like it is turning the entire justice system on its head.
5:42 pm
normally there is a crime and investigators go find the perpetrator of that crime. right now it looks like they're investigating people in search of a crime, and that's just not the way it works in this system and to use it on political enemies? that is not the way the american system works. >> marc lotter, great to you have on. >> thanks, liz. liz: the judge siding with the red zone in this corporate soap opera fight against cbs. it will decide the network's future, this fight. we're going to tell you what's going on. plus, you may get more control over your privacy when it comes to social media companies like facebook. eu is about to pass new rules next week that's going to bolster privacy controls. there are these guys that do a heck of a lot more. we've got that story, coming up. . capital one has partnered with hotels.com to give venture cardholders 10 miles on every dollar they spend

what you watch in tv. fight over control of cbs, on the one side is shari redstone, the redstone family, got it? on the other side is cbs and les moonves. now shari redstone and her family control cbs. the redstones want cbs to remerge with viacom. cbs tried to weaken redstones' control of cbs and the judge gave the green light to go at it and fight cbs, it involves lifting a temporary restraining order. shari redstone, from trying to block a vote that could have limited redstone and family power in cbs. that means the rest of the holding company, national amusements will not be restricted from stopping changes at cbs to grow. cbs shares dropping 6% at the time of the judge's ruling, closing down 4%. we need an expert to sort this all out and what this means to you. look who's here, the fiscal
5:47 pm
times liz peek. >> you have a good hand on it. so basically we have a battle of the titans, total power struggle. shari redstone owns both viacom -- liz: we got all that. >> and she wants them to merge because everybody in the media world is merging. you have to be bigger to be better, that's the going expectation anyway, and it really comes down who's going to control the merged entity. les moonves wants to continue to be in charge. he will be in charge. she wants him there, but he wants his number two in charge after him and she wants the head of viacom to be number two. liz: you don't think les moonves is going to walk? >> if he walks he gets over $200 million. she doesn't want to lose him. he's respected running cbs, a great history of accomplishment there, she doesn't want to have him walk for that reason primarily. liz: this is a corporate drama
5:48 pm
story, right? >> it really is. liz: a big soap opera. >> the only lesson is the complicated ownership structures don't work well for shareholders. that say legitimate thing to say because she can through this 80% control, control what goes on. liz: cbs' stock got pounded today. >> yes. liz: talk to us what the eu is doing to help all of us get more control over our privacy on social media? >> they are putting in force draconian rules about what all kinds of companies have to do in terms of letting you know and getting your consent about the use of your data. what's interesting to me about this is it reminds us why brexit took place, these are huge complicated rules the brits decided they didn't want part of. it affects u.s. companies, even if you have one client in the eu, you are party to the regulation, and also the rules
5:49 pm
are just awful. liz: let's go through the rules. what it says is you have to be told ahead of time if your data is being used and sold. and the other thing is if you're hacked, if information is breached, the company has to tell you within 72 hours, that is not just social media, it's any company and the penalty is 4% of annual revenues, right? >> the big thing is the penalty. one breach is 4% of revenues or $25 million, whichever is higher. for facebook that would be over a billion dollars for one problem. so this is really going to be something that american companies have to spend a lot of time on. they don't just tell you that they're using or harvesting data. they get your consent. i think we're all going to go nuts because there are going to be pop-ups every 30 second, cookies inserted, do you accept this use of data, et cetera? right now we scan down to the bottom of the page, do i agree? and you are onto the next thing
5:50 pm
that you want. liz: yahoo! equifax, all the companies did not tell us when we were hacked, right? >> and sometimes for more than a year. liz: we don't have the laws here. do you think the u.s. could follow? >> the states have laws, almost all the states follow through on the revelations, but it hasn't proved adequate and look, everyone struggling to rein in these behemoths that have our personal information, the eu has done it. liz: love having you on. come back soon. let's get to the story, orange county official told president trump yesterday hundreds of criminal illegals are out on the streets of her county in california all because of the state's sanctuary law. you want to hear this story. it's unbelievable. it's coming up next.

. >> this has nothing to do with the immigration, and then this title of sb 54 is totally misleading because california values act values of what? criminals we talking about? so you know what? people think that we are actually bashing immigrants. i am a first generation immigrant. of course not. we are talking about criminal illegals that they are walking on the street. in orange county itself, we had about 338 criminals released on the street. we handed them to i.c.e. but couldn't do it because of the california law. this is unsafe. liz: michelle steele saying hundreds of criminal illegals on the streets of california. this is house speaker paul ryan saying there, quote, is no specific immigration bill that can pass the house right now. let's bring in chris bedford, good to see you. >> good to see you. liz: what's your reaction to all of this?
5:55 pm
>> california facing backlash from citizens. people who were quiet bere, and u't get that from reading a lot of the newspapers but get that from talking to the police, going down to the courthouses, talking to anyone in charge of enforcing the laws, protecting the cities and following the crazy ruling. republicans have a problem, democrats are completely united in immigration and republicans aren't. republican leadership is facing a revolt. liz: that's a great point. where are the republicans on the sanctuary fight in california? >> a lot of republicans will push for the rule of law on the sanctuary issue but moderate republicans from california, florida, michigan, they're pushing right now to have a discharge petition. what that would do is remove the bills from the actual body that's supposed to work on them and approve them from the committee and put them for a vote before the house of representatives and force a vote on four of those things. the democrats don't need that many republicans to switch over and since the democrats work in lockstep and republicans are freaked out they might actually get it. liz: this is all in the weeds,
5:56 pm
like kind of law stuff. >> it is. >> the point is, chris, and you're terrific on this, donald trump did not win orange county. that's the first time republican lost it since 1936. the republicans -- this is an issue handed on a silver platter to them. the california officials in the roundtable say california sanctuary state law is unacceptable. why is it so hard for republicans to jump all over this and for governor brown to understand it? >> it's weird to see this panic among republicans. they're saying if we don't pass amnesty for dreamers we're going to lose our re-election battles. not sure which way they're going, trusting the wrong polls. you see republican senators attacking president and the polls are plummeting as a result of that. conservatives and others are saying we're going to the ballot box in november, and every person from eric cantor on who has underestimated immigration as an issue has it wrong. liz: chris, thanks for coming on. we'll be right back.

and i recently had a heart attack. it changed my life. but i'm a survivor. after my heart attack, my doctor prescribed brilinta. it's for people who have been hospitalized for a heart attack. brilinta is taken with a low-dose aspirin. no more than 100 milligrams as it affects how well brilinta works. brilinta helps keep platelets from sticking together and forming a clot. in a clinical study, brilinta worked better than plavix. brilinta reduced the chance of having another heart attack... ...or dying from one. don't stop taking brilinta without talking to your doctor, since stopping it too soon increases your risk of clots in your stent, heart attack, stroke,
5:59 pm
and even death. brilinta may cause bruising or bleeding more easily, or serious, sometimes fatal bleeding. don't take brilinta if you have bleeding, like stomach ulcers, a history of bleeding in the brain, or severe liver problems. slow heart rhythm has been reported. tell your doctor about bleeding new or unexpected shortness of breath any planned surgery, and all medicines you take. if you recently had a heart attack, ask your doctor if brilinta is right for you. my heart is worth brilinta. if you can't afford your medication, astrazeneca may be able to help.
