♪ liz: a let's take a check on the market. stocks clinching though its best august performance in more than four years. more on your money in just a second but first to this. let's get to ed lawrence live from washington, d.c., with the latest what is going on with the trade deal with canada. edward, what's going going on? reporter: liz, i can tell you no deal today but the talks will continue. now the white house did send a letter intent to have a trade deal with both mexico and canada, if they're willing. that starts a 90-day clock to possibly ratify a trade deal with canada included in it. with a statement from u.s. trade representative robert lighthizer says quote, today the president

notified the intent to sign a trade agreement with mexico and canada if it is willing 90 days from now. the agreement is the most advanced high standard trade agreement in the world. over the next few weeks and congress and cleared advisors from sill society and private sector will be able to examine the agreement. they will find it a huge benefits for our workers, farmers, ranchers and businesses. the top trade negotiator in canada, from canada says that there is still a lot of work to be done. listen. >> we're continuing to work very hard and we are making progress. we're not there yet. this is a very complex agreement and, we are going to continue working at it. reporter: and the canadian delegation way back here in washington, d.c., on wednesday to continue those talks again. they will have '90ty days to work out the differ rens,.

liz: he had, thank you so much. bring in economy ben stein. great to see you by the way. we have trump, trudeau, media leaks, what could possibly go wrong? of course something would go wrong. what do you think about what happened today? >> i don't think anything bad happened today. i don't think anything serious is going to happen. canada and the u.s. have best relations of any two large countries with a long border ever had in the history of mankind. it will not end over this, over automobile parts, over steel, aluminum, dairy or anything. this will take time to get worked out. but eventually we'll be friends again. it's a joke. matt and trey, and their show, wonderful comedy show on comedy central used to make jokes about us going to war with canada. it will not happen. we're not going to war with canada. they are our friends. liz: talks are rocky for a year. more than a leak hanging it up,

but dairy barriers. i don't think that chrystia freeland don't know that trump will say aggressive things off the record. i don't think the president can be shocked about media leaks but here is the backdrop, ben, the fact remains this deal will help blue color manufacturing jobs in canada, mexico, uaw, afl-cio likes it. so why not sign it? >> why not indeed? i think mr. trump is trying to do something he typically tries to do, try to make it seem like he extracted every last morsel that he can out of his opponents. he wrote a book long time ago, called, "the art of the deal" which some people call the art of the dubious deal. he likes the idea he will have last word about everything, he will squeeze, squeeze but in this case he doesn't need to squeeze anymore. we have plenty good enough deal, just rough outlines of a deal. let's be friends with canada. there is no point fighting with our best friends in the whole

world. liz: is stepping on his own message and is he stepping on his own message? >> beautiful, beautifully put. beautifully put. he is stepping on his own deal. he is getting great trade deals. he is making it seems he will be tougher than tough. he doesn't need to show he is any tougher than he already is. get the deal done. let's start ramping up trade. our blue-collar workers need it desperately. our dairy farmers need it desperately. everybody needs it. there is no point in this endless wrangling. liz: get to the leak that threw nafta trade negotiations into turmoil. here is what happened. toronto star published president trump's off the record comments to bloomberg reporters, he can say say publicly he would be making any compromises at all because it would be insulting to canada. president trump called out bloomberg just earlier. let's listen. >> they actually printed my off the record.

they said, president trump said off the record. then they go on to this, i said, this is the a first. these are very dishonorable people, but i said in the end it is okay because at least canada knows how i feel. so it's fine. it's fine. [applause] that's true. liz: he really can't do a casablanca shock, i'm shocked that they printed leaks, come on, ben, you know this president knows that the media leaks but here's the thing. it looks like bloomberg is dancing away from the fur i don't remember not acknowledging a leak. when something is off the record we respect that set aside bloomberg for a second. i want to get to your thoughts on the deal because you have great insights on this talk about china this is key. here is what is going on. silicon valley will be happy with the deal as well. democrats should like the deal. autos have a lot of technology and gee whiz gizmos in it. behind's auto parts second or and auto sector and it tech

sector, china has to be sitting up hey, wait a second, more after car's components and a car will be made in north america not with chinese parts. will china step up? >> china will step up to do whatever necessary to do the smartest thing. tell you something amazing. years ago i had very close friend and goldman sachs who said the chinese will dance and do all kind of complex manuevers and intricate manuevers do something clever good for china. the chinese are not to trifle with. they will continue to be gigantic factor in trade market for automobiles and trucks. they will not let anything get away from them. that business is such an enormous business. there is ream for everybody to grow inside the business. there is room for canada to grow. room for canada to grow, room for china to grow, room for everyone in the business. only problem there is not room on highways. respectfully commend mr. trump,

people from china and canada look at freeways from los angeles, tell us if you want to keep making so many cars. liz: looks like bloomberg may have leaked. what is your thoughts on bloomberg possibly leaking off the record comments by president? >> absolutely outrage just. if they say it's off the record it is off the record. extremely serious breach of journalistic ethics. to the extent there is a thing as journalisticeth i cans anymore. very important something off the record is off the record. it will inhibit journalists work and contributions to the public sector by people in the government if they know the journalists are lying to them. really important that bloomberg back off that. maybe fire people responsible for that leak. that is really, really serious breach. liz: ben stein. love having you on. thanks for joining us. >> god bless you. have a nice weekend. david: buy his books. he is a great writer. have a good weekend. president trump will wipe out pay raises for civilian

federal workers next year, citing to restrain the growth of federal spending. there is pushback on president's attempt to drain the swamp when it comes to the federal workforce and their rules there. democrats and unions of course denounced the move, saying you know what? we're going to fight it. next up, let's check your money. stocks drifted slightly lower ahead of the labor day weekend. the dow down 22 points. let's get to gerri willis on the floor of the new york stock exchange with the latest on your money. >> liz, a mixed day in the markets with the dow finishing down 22 points. the s&p 500 essentially flat. the nasdaq up 21. the big news though, the russell 2000, the small cap index, finishing at a record close tonight. big surprises after the canada and u.s. broke down trade negotiations. big headline we expected stocks to go down. in fact they went up. other big news today, coca-cola is spending $5.1 billion to buy costa, a british coffee store

districts nationwide as democrats tried to retake the house. his campaign released cast 10's words were quote, poorly chosen. take it up with "the weekly standard" executive editor, fred barnes. don't you like he started out saying i don't want to start out sounding hyperbolic. but he sure did sound hyperbolic. is this a way to get the democrat voter off the couch? >> it will help peter roskam, on the ways and means committee, influential guy, in tough suburban district in chicago. i think he will like this. this is such a ridiculous thing to say, that trump is like osama bin laden? i mean, look, on basis of being able to rally men and appeal to young men. look, football coaches do that. i've been in the army. the drill instructors do that. if that is it, then, i mean

it's, it is comparison that is meaningless. liz: you know what -- >> besides being inaccurate. liz: beyond. what happened to when they go low we go high? again, what's with the democrat messaging here as it relates to getting the message out to the middle class or working class voters? what is your take on the messaging here? >> well the message is, we don't like donald trump. he's terrible. liz: he is a terrorist. >> and all the republicans working for him. they don't have a message. there is no policy message. it is all, it is all trump. look, democrats have an advantage in this race as the out party does in a midterm election but i don't think they have played it very well. they may win the house anyway. at the moment i would say they would but -- liz: fred, here is the thing. market is up 40%. at 18,000 range when president trump is elected. now breaking above 26,000. this market rally in secular

bull market, around 14 years. new data coming out fred, americans have more savings than ever before. that is more dry powder to do more consumer spending. that means continued 4% growth. i think democrats are trying to push aside the good economic boom and doing things like this. your final point on that before we get to the next story? >> well, i think look, republicans have to take into account that they need to really push how good the economy is. liz: yeah. >> hey, 3% growth. that's nothing. we have 4% growth. so, trump needs to say that over and over. liz: okay. let's get to the next case. another democrat threatening to now prosecute immigration agents for doing their job, for following the laws that congress writes. he is arizona congressman. he is ruben galling go. if you're a u.s. government official, deporting americans be warned. when the world turns you will not be safe because you were

just following orders. you do not have to take part in illegal acts ordered by this president's administration. let's back up. fred, here is what is going on. the i.c.e. agents are enforcing laws, checking passports in the southern part of the country. they did the same under obama. they did the same un-bush bush. the white house is mad at this "washington post" story. congress is basically writing the laws like this that i.c.e. agents and border patrol are following. maybe this congressman, should be making changes in the law, not threatening u.s. federal workers? >> if he wants to change the law, he is not getting anywhere with his statement. look the truth is, this is just another statement by a democrat that at bottom line of which is, they are for open borders. then they always deny that they are but that, they don't want to deport anybody, criminals or anybody in these so-called sanctuary cities and that is the

policy of democrats. and, it is not popular. i mean it is one of the things that does help republicans in this election. besides, threatening i.c.e. employees? look, these guys know they, they face dangers every day at the border. particularly, in deporting people. so this is no new message to them. it is the main part of the, underlying message here again from democrats is, we don't want anybody who comes in here illegally to have to leave. liz: fred, what is really astounding is, when you go out in the world, you talk to people who only watch other networks, they don't get the reporting and journalism they need to make their judgment about these stories they don't understand, they're shocked to hear that the border has been politicized, right? the border has been politicized for a generation. >> of course it has. it is a huge issue.

and, one of the bottom lines is, whether you believe that borders are legitimate or not. does america, have a right to erect borders and, and let people in who are american citizens? does american citizenship mean anything? are we a country open to anybody who wants to wander in? that is a important difference and it has come to that in this election. do you believe in american citizenship? do you believe that we should have open borders? liz: thank you, free barnes. great to see you. have a great weekend. >> thank you. liz: disney confirming will begin selling alcoholic cocktails at new "star wars" inspired cantina in the new "star wars" galaxy edge section in california and florida disney parks starting next year. the stock closed slightly

elizabeth: ruedty giuliani is building a report to counter and question the legitimacy of robert mueller's russia probe. also present any countervailing arguments about and any possible conflicts among federal investigators. including whether, quote, the initiation of the mueller probe was legitimate or not. let's bring in harvard law professor, and he is the author of the blockbuster book "the case against impeaching trump,"

alan dershowitz. great to see you, alan. >> thank you very much. elizabeth: what's your take of what's going on? >> well, i think it's exactly the right thing. we live in an adversarial system. the mueller probe has only heard one side of the story. remember, grand juries don't invite exculpatory witnesses to come, and they only hear one side of the story. and in an adversarial system, both sides of the story have to be heard. so i think it's a good thing for america, it's a good thing for justice, it's a good thing for truth for the trump team to be bearing their side of the story -- baring their side of the story, and then the country can judge. the problem with the mueller report is it's illegal for mueller to disclose grand jury testimony. and so he's going to have to write a report either without disclosing what he heard in the grand jury or his prosecutors heard in the grand jury, or he's going to have to get special permission from the court to disclose this material. and the reason we don't permit disclosure of grand jury

material is because it's always one-sided. lawyers are not allowed to be there except prosecutors. and so it would be unfair to rely on what went on in a grand jury as the whole truth. elizabeth: here's the thing, you know, the pushback's going to be -- and you know it's coming -- is that the white house is trying to undermine the institutions of the u.s. democracy. your take on that. >> oh, exactly the opposite. the institutions of democracy require an adversarial system. you can't have dem cross when you -- democracy when you present just one side. elizabeth: you think the special counsel -- >> even if i -- elizabeth: yeah, go ahead. >> i don't approve of special counsels. i didn't approve of it for clinton, i don't approve of it now. even if this was an ordinary prosecutor, it's not undermining democracy to challenge the legitimacy or to challenge the coverage of how well it was done or to challenge the truth of what's in the report. that's the essence of democracy.

it would be exactly the opposite of democracy if the people just believed what one side said. for example, you hear on television now people are calling trump an unindicted co-conspirator. totally false. a, there's been no indictment that even mentions or refers to trump. it was an information, not an indictment against cohen. and second, what cohen has said in his allocution is inadmissible in any court, it's hearsay. so, you know, we hear one side all the time from mueller, and now it's time to hear the other side. maybe mueller will be more persuasive. maybe giuliani will be more persuasive. it's a clash of adversaries, that's the way the system should work. elizabeth: do you think the mueller probe is illegitimate? >> no, i don't think it's illegitimate. i'm not on the side of those who think it's unlawful. there are some very, very respectable scholars who believe that, but on balance i think it's lawful. i just think it's ill-advised, and i think that everything that's been investigated could have been done through the

southern district, through the inspector general, through existing institutions. you don't need special counsel. elizabeth: you know, giuliani's report could be 100 pages plus. take a look and see on that. let's get to this story, republicans now criticizing president trump's comments at a rally last night in indiana where he openly called for the doj and the fbi to investigate his political rivals. let's take a look. >> but our justice department and our fbi have to start doing their job and doing it right and doing it now. [cheers and applause] because people are angry. what's happening is a disgrace, and at some point -- i want it to stay out, but at some point if it doesn't straighten out properly, i will get involved, and i'll get in there if i have to. you can have the biggest story about hillary clinton, i mean, look at what she's getting away with. let's see if she gets away with it. let's see.

elizabeth: alan, republicans are criticizing these comments saying if hillary or obama made those same comments, they'd be blasted for it. your take on that. >> well, i don't like the president seeking to criminalize the conduct of hillary clinton. you know, if hillary clinton had been elected president and they were trying to impeach or investigate her, i'd have written the same book called the case against impeaching clinton. i think it's a mistake tactically, legally, professionally, morally to try to attack one's enemies by making crimes out of political differences. so i'm very much against efforts to try to criminalize the conduct of hillary clinton -- elizabeth: well, it's not political differences, it's about the e-mails, right? so that's what the president, i think, is referring to, the clinton foundation. >> of course. and the people on the other side say it's about things that trump may have done. each side is trying to weaponize the criminal justice system to use against their political opponents -- elizabeth: that's the point, yes. >> i want disarm.

i want to see no criminalization except if the evidence is overwhelming that a crime occurred. hillary clinton was cleared by the justice department. her clearing may have cost her the election, but she was cleared, and i would not reopen any investigations. elizabeth: we love having you on, and please buy alan's book. coming up, former florida congressman allen west on the president last night calling out social media companies for censor ising conservatives. allen west says this is a problem. he's on it. but first, a california democrat party leader now calling for a boycott against the burger chain in-n-out over its donations to the gop. you won't believe the details we found out. it's coming up next. >> why can't a business express itself? apple does it, starbucks does it, amazon does it. the democrats seem to be fine as long as they get all the money. this is the hypocrisy, the double standard. we're seeing it at the department of justice, and then we see it out there in the party

elizabeth: a california democrat party leader getting really wound up, now calling for a boycott against burger chain in-n-out over its donations to the republican party. even though this same burger chain has made about the same

amount in donations to democratic groups over the last few years. now, the chair of the california democrat party, his name is eric bowman, saying, quote: elizabeth: that's a way of ordering your br the way you want it. let's bring in eric schiffer and, look who's here, fox news contributor, deneen borelli. eric, politics with your fries? what's going here? >> it is a crazy move, and it's one in which it's going to backfire against democrats because most democrats are going to choose their stomach and a good burger over politics. and i think you're going to see this happen. in california especially, here in california, that's a really popular, it's a popular restaurant. politics doesn't have a chance. elizabeth: you know what's

interesting, we had tiger talk, tiger woods having to answer a question about politics, deneen. it's striking that now hamburger chains are involved. just let's back this up a bit. i mean, we've got the democrats out there looking for all sorts of reasons to get wound up and boycott burger chains? it means they're looking at the donor list and seeing who's doing what. don't they have better things to do? >> yeah, you would think they would. but what they're doing is silencing speech, liz. and what they're doing also is making an example of any company, business owner. listen, if you're going to support republican candidates or republican organizations, we're going to make an example out of you. and you would think, however, that the businesses would like lower taxes and less regulations, which is what republicans support and promote which is good for their business. but unfortunately, you have a lot of ceos and business owners that are afraid of the liberal mob. and so what they'll do is just cave to their whims and their

demands. elizabeth: great points. let's get on to the next story. nbc news now calling a report that its top lawyer threatened ronin fair row over his harvey weinstein expose a, quote, malicious distortion. the daily beast reported allegations that nbc news general counsel susan wiener threatened to smear ronan farrow if he continued to report on weinstein after they spiked the story. nbc defending itself after a former producer working with farrow on his probe claimed that, quote, the very highest levels at nbc stopped farrow's story. now, he won a pulitzer prize for his reports on weinstein and the other powerful men alleged to have been involved in these kinds of activities. comcast owns nbc, that stock closed in the green today. nbc, you know, deneen, nbc had

its own issues with matt lauer. is there a problem here for nbc? >> yeah. well, nbc still has yet to give a formal reason as to why they spiked that story. but you've got to look at it this way, it's one big club. the weinstein company had at some point some of their projects on nbc universal. so they're basically supporting their own, it's just one big club. elizabeth: you know, it was really pretty controversial that nbc spiked ronan farrow's story, eric. that's what we're hearing. they say they support the fair press. he won the pulitzer, what's your take on all of this? >> i think that, you know, what we just heard is true. i think they had inside or -- insider desiring to continue a relationship with weinstein. inif this report is true, weinstein had tremendous power. this is a case where they got caught in a whole backlash that

became a movement, and now it's exposed. but we're going to find out. i mean, it's a report. i don't know that it's true, but if it is, it's bad. elizabeth: you've been great tonight, thank you so much for coming on. >> thank you. elizabeth: next up, president trump calling out social media last night at that indiana rally, warning that large social media companies should not be allowed to censor conservatives and control what we and cannot see. is that what's really going on? we're bringing in retired lieutenant colonel and former florida congressman allen west. he thinks it's time to investigate. we'll also talk to the colonel about the congress giving the late senator john mccain its highest honor today right after the break. stay there. >> this is one of the bravest souls our nation has ever produced. agent beekman was one step ahead of them. because he hid his customers' gold in a different box. and the bandits, well, they got rocks.

lieutenant colonel allen west. great to see you, colonel. what's your take on this story? >> it's good to be with you, liz. one of the things we need to understand is back in january of 2017, the far-left group media matters, which is funded by george soros, david brock, created a 49-page memo called democracy matters, a strategic plan for action. he met with donors down in florida, and he asserted in that document that his organization was going to work with the social media groups, facebook, twitter and google, to, you know, enact policies against president trump and also to curtail free speech. and if we're going to have a country where we're supposedly going to have open, public forums but yet we have the collusion of these social media giants with far-left-leaning groups, we have a problem. diamond and silk were determined that they were unsafe to a community or to have candace owens change a couple of words in a tweet by a father-left --

far-left editorial board member of "the new york times," then all of a sudden she got banned, but sarah young was never banned. priest breathe have you seen that media matters document that you just referred to? >> yes, as a matter of fact, washington free beacon has it. elizabeth: here's the problem, they operate on the taxpayers' nickel, and now they're getting involved in politicking. that's an issue. have you been affected by google's censorship or twitter's shadow banning where you search on your twitter accounts, and it's buried and basically sandboxed in the results? have you been a victim of this? >> well, absolutely. you know, sometimes when you search my name, certain articles are pop up that are more disparaging and more negative and, you know, three or four years ago instead of anything current. and as far as facebook, we've seen our web site, the old school patriot.com and my facebook page, we've seen some manipulation of stories and the algorithms that they talk about

which the next thing you know you don't have the same amount of reach that you used to have. elizabeth: congress giving senator john mccain its highest honor, assembling under the capitol rotunda to pay final respects to the flag-draped casket as it lay in state. this is usually reserved for presidents. watch. >> in every generation there are those who put country first, who prize service ahead of self, who summon idealism from cynical age. john mccain was such man. today he lies in the place where he served to the last, the congress of the united states. soon he will go to rest on the grounds where he served first, the united states naval academy. elizabeth: how do you remember john mccain? >> you know, i first met senator

mccain when i was on a reconciliation committee on the national defense authorization act. he, of course, was on the senate armed services commission -- committee. he is a person that was dedicated to our united states military, and you think about, you know, you can have policy differences, but here was a man that gave two decades of uniformed service to this great nation and then continued his service even after he took off that uniform. and that is something that is to be commended. elizabeth: and sitting there was john mccain's 106-year-old mother, roberta, sitting next to his daughter, meghan mccain. thank you so much for your thoughts tonight. really appreciate it, sir. the media working a story about an inexperienced trump volunteer blocking her news photograph's camera at that indiana rally. the trump campaign, the white house has since taken them off the road. my next guest is wondering why the media is making a big deal about that but no major headlines after an nbc crew was

elizabeth: well, you may have seen this sty today about that inexperienced trump campaign volunteer blocking a news photographer's camera at trump's indiana rally last night. the campaign has since taken him off the road. my next guest says the media should not be blocked, but he doesn't remember the media making a big deal after an nbc crew was literally physically assaulted by antifa in charlottesville. remember an nbc news reporter posting this video. watch. >> [bleep] [background sounds]

>> don't worry about me, don't worry about him. elizabeth: daily caller news foundation editor-in-chief chris bedford joins me now. chris, that nbc crew attacked by antithat, what was the media reaction to it? is. >> it was muted because it doesn't fit the narrative. and it's really weird because the reporter, cal, was putting this on twitter, he was showing himself being attacked, showing his crew being attacked, and they're not the only ones who get attacked. our reporters have been attacked by antifa people, women who have had their phones snatched, who are smacked, screamed at. these guys are thugs. but his own company who sent him down there into harm's way didn't back him up, and the next morning they were showing footage, they didn't include that and simply said he'd been heckled. we put out our own story on it, he did some great reporting. his parent company didn't back it up because it didn't fit into what they wanted to portray. elizabeth: chris, you're an expert in looking at how the

media covering things. how has the media covered antifa? >> foolishly and without perspective. people cover antifa like they're a bunch of young idealogues who have suddenly risen up against donald trump and want to protect the vulnerable. antifa is a decades-old punk rock group that's filled with anarchists and radicals. they're extremely violent. they're kind of a european group. they don't have any of that research. they're a violent street gang, and people treat them like they're defenders. and nbc, actually, on "meet the press" had an author on who explained why it was ethical for them to use violence to attack people in their imaginary war they're fighting in the states. elizabeth: it's never ethical to use violence. let's put the volunteer in context when he blocked that camera. that was wrong to do that. let's take a look at this video. remember during the campaign when hillary clinton's campaign held back reporters with a moving rope line at a new hampshire parade. they did it several times.

a lot of people upset about that too, chris. >> it was. and, you know, trump's a lot of his kohl volunteers even since before he was president when he was simply a candidate have not treated the media very well. they can be rough, and they can be foolish, and this person was just another advance volunteer. he's been removed. now, acting that way is not appropriate, but the press who are so obsessed with themselves in these matters is not comparable and shouldn't be taken seriously by anyone. elizabeth: you know, looking back on that campaign, hillary clinton did not do a lot of press conferences. instead she did a lot of one on one interviews with reporters versus the president doing a lot of press conferences, right? >> and i'll tell you that the daily caller news foundation was kicked out of or not allowed into hillary clinton rallies repeatedly, including on election night -- elizabeth: why? >> i'm sorry, we can't approve your press credentials, even if we followed all the rules. we didn't go complaining about it and crying about it. it's the candidate's decision to

allow somebody in there. if president trump did the same -- and he did the same to us, as well as other people, sometimes block you out of rallies depending on who was in charge of confirming your presence there -- then people complain and act like it's an assault on the first amendment. elizabeth: we're getting into the midterms, chris what's your forecast on how things will be covered going forward? [laughter] >> i think it's going to be more of the same and often more shrill. reporters are incredibly self-obsessed. there are reporters who risk their lives on a day-to-day basis from mexico, to iraq, to afghanistan. people here in washington, d.c. think they're in the same class, and they're simply not. elizabeth: great to see you, chris. >> thank you. elizabeth: well, there's no nafta trade deal today. talks are still in the works. we've got more on that after the break. stay there.
