6:00 pm
california, it could take away the california debt. i think it's a bad decision. but it's their right to make a bad decision. david: it is their right if they want to do it. thanks for joining us. "evening edit" starts right now. president trump: i'm sending up the military. when you look at thousands of people, that's call an invasion of our country. we have to have strong borders. if we don't have strong borders, we don't have a country. we have millions of people coming in legally. >> they are spreading a racist lie. it's an election ploy. it's a pathetic one because now donald trump is playing the lives of the men and women of the u.s. military. liz: the president is talking
6:01 pm
about an executive order to end birthright citizenship. we'll debate it. a week from election day and behind the scenes, the republicans. we'll ask which vote the gop is most of panicked about. president trump says the democrats are bad for the market. terry mcauliffe says hillary clinton will never be on a ballot again. but is he right? money, politics. we have the debate behind tomorrow's headlines. "the evening edit" starts right now. president trump and first lady melania in pittsburgh to mourn
6:02 pm
the victims of the deadly shooting at the tree of life synagogue. christina? reporter: there were 11 that were victims of this massacre including one survivor of the holocaust. the president is visiting a hospital in pittsburgh. an hour ago he did visit the tree of life synagogue. he was accompanied by the first lady, as well as his daughter ivanka trump. they lit candles for all 11 victims. protesters take to the streets saying it wasn't the best time for him to come to the city. you had the president not make any comments. we are not expecting comments on
6:03 pm
this. right now we know he went to the tree of life synagogue earlier this afternoon and is visiting the hospital. you had the mayor of pittsburgh urging the president and national visitors to avoid visiting pittsburgh because of safety concerns. today is the day of the first set of funerals for some of the victims taken away during saturday's massacre. liz: we are a week away from the mid terms. all eyes on the swing vote, womb i. they may put previously red states in play. a non-partisan report announced 72 republican seats are at risk. only 5 at risk for the democrats. what do women worry about? healthcare costs.
6:04 pm
republicans are not so strong at getting preexisting conditions covered. you know what's interesting. usually republicans go full bore. full out about obamacare,. >> enrollment period. we have got obamacare enrollment period right now. you say there is a lot of talk about how bad obamacare is. we have crickets from you guys. >> voters realize what a failure obamacare was and how it raised healthcare prices. it made it different for people to get healthcare. they may have health insurance but they don't have access to good healthcare. no democrat voted to repeal and replace obamacare. we look good in a majority of states to maintain the senate
6:05 pm
and potentially picking up seats. liz: when people go into the voting booths they close the curtains and say what are you going to do for me. the fear is the republicans' message on healthcare has been mud yesterday. so it's unclear what the republicans will do for the suburban women and people concerned about healthcare. >> republicans are making the case to voters, are you better off than you were two years ago. thing are going better across the country at every level. manufacturing jobs. taking on the opioid crisis. funding the military and taking care of our veterans. the democrats are using healthcare as a fear tactic. they are saying republicans are going to take away preexisting conditions which is just false. we are combating that lie of
6:06 pm
democrats. what can they run on? when it comes to elect day, voters will say which is the party delivering results and which party is putting forward resistance? i think they will vote for the party that's getting things accomplished in washington. hopefully they will rewrite their playbook if they lose in this election. liz: republicans came into tour with taking governorships and state legislatures back. the fear is democrats will flip big swing states for governors. ways your thought about that? >> there are a lot of governor races up. we had so many gains, it's
6:07 pm
inevitable we will have some losses. we contacted 60 million voters. we put together the most of extensive field program we have ever put in place. that will lift he candidate across the ballot. we are in 12 state ride races where governor races are on the ballot and we are hoping we can keep those. other big issue we are seeing governors push are the independent panels for redistricting and put it into the hand of bureaucrats who have no accountability. that's on the ballot across the country. liz: there is a talk about a 020 ad campaign buy. you made the point the president is getting things. and the list of things the republicans and the president achieved already.
6:08 pm
they feel like there is a fear out there the president's rhetoric is swamping the good this he's accomplishing. when you are in the oval office, anything the president said has the weight of the government behind it. is that a concern for you? >> no, the president ran because he saw the american people were not being well served in washington. wages weren't working for them. this ad being put out by the trump campaign tells that story of a family doing better, seeing an increase in their wages and livelihood. liz: but there are personal attacks the president engages in, going after andrew gillum calling him a thief. the gallup poll show his approval rating dropping 4
6:09 pm
points. and ted cruz's lead over beto o'rourke shrinking. >> it's the democrat rhetoric that's been very dangerous, hillary clinton saying you can't be civil with people you don't aguy with. you have cory booker saying get in their face. maxine waters saying create crowds around people and tell them they are not welcome here. the democrats have upped their rhetoric. and the president has delivered results for the american people. lives are better right now than they were two years ago. liz: the president is saying i want to reach across the aisle and do things like structure
6:10 pm
spending. your point is well taken, ronna, that in 2008 it was candidate obama who said get in their face, i want you to get in their face. it started 10 years ago, it started way before president trump. >> it did. and the president ran on immigration. people want to come to this country because it's the greatest country. they seat prosperity. we have an immigration problem that's attracting people and putting children in dangerous situations. we have to fix our immigration system. democrats won't come to the table on anything. the only way you get them to come to the table is to reject them at the ballot box. liz: president trump not on the ballot in 2018, his agenda is.
6:11 pm
will that help republicans in 018? republicans are dialing back their republican strengths, the tax cuts, they are not really touting that, obamacare, the republican push on getting rid of obamacare. the party in office owns the healthcare system no matter what. they have a problem here, right? >> i think right now everything is all about trump. the mid terms are a referendum about trump even though he's not on the ballot. the caravan of migrants threatening to flood the southern border. and the political violence. the big question on the ballot is do they want to decrease or expand trump's power. so now gop strategists are
6:12 pm
concerned that trump's base won't turn out in large enough numbers for any candidate whose name is not trump. that's why he has been so heavily injected into mid-term campaigning. but you have to remember he doesn't just energy the far right, he mobilizes the far left. the question is will it work with democrats? i think lit work just enough to give the house back to the democrats by a slim margin. >> trump is the most of prominent name that seems to be on the ballot it's hard to imagine an economy humming along as well as it has been, an a white house more in turmoil. when you look at it, and look at
6:13 pm
the numbers, the only thing lower than the current unemployment rate is trump's approval numbers. that will weigh down a number of republicans hoping for mid-term rick tries but will probably be turned away come november. liz: you can expect gridlock and fireworks if nancy pelosi takes back the gavel. it was a wild day for investors. gerri willis has the latest on the market action. >> let's start with ebay. we have a big beat here. really good quarter for the company. they grew active buyers. revenues $2.65 billion. the company is raising guidance for the balance of the year saying quarterly profits will
6:14 pm
come in above estimates. it's consensus it will be 67 to 69 cents a share. but what a day in the markets, staging a last-hour rally. it was like watching a good movie. the three major indexes ending in the positive. the dow closed 1.77% higher. the a and p up 44 points. but it wasn't energy, industrials. the big winners on the dow, boeing with, mcdonnell, goldman and travelers acted for half the dow's gain. the dow down 5.99%.
6:15 pm
the nasdaq still in correction mowed down 11%. shares of facebook were higher, earnings per share of $1.76. the sales came in at 13.73 billion below e -- expectations. one of the most of watched metrics for that company, users falling as well. that was a disappointment. as i prepare to hand it back to you. facebook as a yearbook where the platform system are able to prevent abuse. those word from zuckerberg himself. liz: in other headline news, twitter mulling getting rid of
6:16 pm
the like button. jack dorsey said they are thinking of removing that heart-shaped heart button with the aim of incentivizing more healthy conversations. netflix is going to release a trailer for a six-part docu-series on canines and humans. the crocoa volcano in indonesia is blasting lava and shooting smoke and dust into the sky. quite a picture. president trump says democrats are back for the markets. watch out for your 401ks. we are in the final stretch for the mid-terms. who is winning. who is landing. are the incumbents worried?
6:18 pm
6:19 pm
i think it's the chevy. ford. is it ford? nope, it's not ford. i think it's ram. is it ram? not ram. that's a chevy! it's chevy! that's right. from the family of the most dependable, longest-lasting full-size pickups on the road. gorgeous. chevy hit it out of the ballpark with these. when mit rocked our world.ailed we called usaa. and they greeted me as they always do. sergeant baker, how are you? they took care of everything a to z. having insurance is something everyone needs, but having usaa- now that's a privilege.
6:20 pm
so lionel, what does 24/5 mean to you?rade well, it means i can trade after the market closes. it's true. so all... evening long. ooh, so close. yes, but also all... night through its entirety. come on, all... the time from sunset to sunrise. right. but you can trade... from, from... from darkness to light. ♪ you're not gonna say it are you?
6:21 pm
liz: stakes are high, the highest they have ever been. it's about the balance of power in congress. here is hillary vaughn with the report. >> democrats are hoping a blue wave tuesday flips the house and senate seats to help them take back the majority in congress. but president trump is hitting the campaign trail with a full lineup of rallies heading into election day to energy republicans -- to energize republicans. he'll hold 11 rallies in florida, ohio, indiana, west virginia, man missouri and montana, georgia and florida. the gop are poised to pick up three seats according to the latest real clear politics
6:22 pm
tracking of polls. six senate races are a tossup. montana, nevada, arizona, missouri, indiana and florida. the two candidates are polling within 3 percentage points of each other. democrats need to pick up 23 seats to flip the house majority. california, pennsylvania and new jersey. they are spending a ton of cash to do it. in the 2018 mid-term elections will go down as the most expensive ever. when you combine donors, political parties, outside groups and what candidates spent from both parties combined. they spent $4.7 billion. the center for politics predicts
6:23 pm
$5.2 billion will be spent by election day. liz: you concisely wrapped it up, that's what we needed to know. jim, you have your stop nancy pelosi fundraising campaign. what's that about? >> last monday former speaker pelosi in an interview said she was pretty comfortable that she is going to be speaker again. we have been talking about it for a couple of years about the prospects of a democrat take over. for me that was a dmict gut, two weeks away from election day and former speaker pelosi declaring democrats will take back the house and make her speaker again. that motivated me. i got some friends together and we created a website
6:24 pm
stopspeakerpelosi.com and that raised $70,000 to help give republicans a boost. here we are one week away from election day. those small donations help put more ads online and help them pay their final bills in homes of preventing pelosi from becoming speaker again. liz: we had 8 years of bad economic growth, congressman. and, you know, i understand what you are saying about the stop nancy pelosi campaign. however, i think the voters and viewers are sick and tired of the rhetoric on both sides of the political aisle. they want it stopped. can the white house stop with the rhetoric. can the democrats stop with the rhetoric? it needs to end. people are over it. >> i'm not concerned about
6:25 pm
rhetoric. i am concerned about what nancy pelosi and the democrats say she'll do if the democrats take back the house. liz: the rhetoric incites people. >> i agree about the rhetoric. but the fact of the matter is the agenda of their party is different results of what we accomplished and our agenda and rebuilding the military. i served in afghanistan just prior to being elected to congress. i serve on the armed services committee. my top priority in congress toys rebuild the military. democrats say if they take over majority they will cut military spending back to what it used to be in the former administration where they cut military spending by 20%. liz: that's not acceptable. that can't happen. we hear what you are saying. there are three migrant caravans moving closer to the border.
6:26 pm
we have raide -- we have radio n democrats on the issue. >> i support this president's decision to send more troops to the border to bring more stability there. this underscores why this entire discussion the last couple years of securing our border has been so important. at this point the congress this recess. so the best the president dock is send troops to the border and hopefully this conversation will motivate the congress to do more, to provide more money in the appropriations bill towards building the wall, providing for more so fichtd kateed technologies. more border patrol agents. that's what majority leader mccarthy put forward in his built the wall act. that's a big step forward that we can get done in a lame duck
6:27 pm
to provide better border security because of situations like these. liz: thank you for your service to our country. we have reached out twice to his democratic opponent to be on the she. her office says they will be in touch. we'll get back to you on that. the mid terms. a week away. president trump talking about a new executive order toned what's called birthright citizenship to children born illegals here. does he have the power on his own to do that? we'll bring in legal eagle gregg jarrett. the president says vote democrat if you want your stocks to go down. we'll exact check what the president is saying. she thought it was a fire.
6:28 pm
it was worse. a sinkhole opened up under our museum. eight priceless corvettes had plunged into it. chubb was there within hours. they helped make sure it was safe. we had everyone we needed to get our museum back up and running, and we opened the next day. i've always been amazed and still going for my best, even though i live with a higher risk of stroke due to afib not caused by a heart valve problem. so if there's a better treatment than warfarin... i want that too. eliquis. eliquis is proven to reduce stroke risk better than warfarin. plus has significantly less
6:29 pm
major bleeding than warfarin. eliquis is fda-approved and has both. what's next? reeling in a nice one. don't stop taking eliquis unless your doctor tells you to, as stopping increases your risk of having a stroke. eliquis can cause serious and in rare cases fatal bleeding. don't take eliquis if you have an artificial heart valve or abnormal bleeding. while taking eliquis, you may bruise more easily and it may take longer than usual for any bleeding to stop. seek immediate medical care for sudden sign of bleeding, like unusual bruising. eliquis may increase your bleeding risk if you take certain medicines. tell your doctor about all planned medical or dental procedures. eliquis, the number one cardiologist-prescribed blood thinner. ask your doctor if eliquis is what's next for you.
6:32 pm
liz: president trump said a democrat victory will wipe out your portfolio. if you want your stocks to go down, i strongly suggest voting democrat. they like the venezuela financial model. they also like high taxes and open borders. >> i think he's right. he has a reputation for being blunt, saying things people are thinking. you don't have to wonder what it is he's trying to say. the democrats have a different economic point of view which is not based on knowing how to govern. knowing what to do. their answer is to throw money at everything because money is the answer.
6:33 pm
but it's not. we have been through this. we have been through an economic framework where the president and the democrats told us we had a new economic reality. and your life would be three jobs delivering pizza. so americans have wanted someone who tbhees they are doing. who cares about management and understands business. and that's not always necessarily the republicans, but it's certainly donald trump. liz: $8 trillion in market value. that's the size of europe. when you watch the market reaction. i'm always look at the small caps. that would tell you the democrats take back control and try to get rid of the tax cuts and ruin the recovery. >> part of that recovery is the
6:34 pm
burgeoning entrepreneurial movement. the return of small business. the willingness of people who want to start their own business and expand it. and that of course is what feeds the market and the job numbers. it's the optimism what the future will be because you have someone who knows what they are doing. >> the voters are seeing messages that the president is a white racist. so the voters go to the voting booths with that messaging coming out. tammy: for two years we have seen the media pile on him 24/7. they were doing that during the campaign. and the other candidates were doing it during the campaign.
6:35 pm
and what americans have learned to do -- liz: do you think's racist? >> he says he's a nationalists. he has been called a populist. the media does not. the media is on one march, right? but the american people heard all of that as well during the election. and this is a problem for journalism today. certainly television, legacy media, they say this about everything. americans do tune them out. they recognize how their lives have been impacted. they are making a judgment about the president's attitude and character. they did that in 2016 and they shall doing it now. but individual candidates running for congress need to make it clear the economy is what matters, and democrats will of course at the very least when it comes to taxes and small
6:36 pm
business and regulation, they will want to bring that back. the president's success has been in stomping down those regulatory frame works. liz: maybe we'll we'll get on mid-term election. devastating puck tiewshes of flooding in venice. 75% of the city of venice under water. gale-force winds killing 9 people. the water is the highest in 18 years. nearly 2/3 of the world's wildlife has been wiped out since 1970 according to a new report from the world wildlife fund. and president trump says he'll issue an executive order to end what's called birthright citizenship to children born to illegals here. but does he have the power to do
6:37 pm
that on his own? former virginia governor and hillary clinton confidant says hillary, forget it, you are not going to run for office again. hillary floating the idea. >> they do not accept the election results. that's what these past two years have been about and are going to remain about. they don't accept trump's election as legitimate. to your goals and needs. some only call when they have something to sell. fisher calls regularly so you stay informed. and while some advisors are happy to earn commissions 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.
6:41 pm
6:42 pm
citizenship to children whose parents are not citizens. let's bring in author of the book "the russia hoax." can the president do that with an executive order? this is a constitutional amendment. >> under the take care clause of the constitution, his constitutional duty is to interpret the constitution. he's duty bound to enforce it in the way he sees fifth. the journalists who say he can't do it with an executive order, nonsense. obama affected immigration dramatically with executive action. liz: here is senator turn bul.
6:43 pm
he said the intent of the 14th amendment was declaring all persons born in the u.s. to be citizens, that this bill preposes to do that and birth by virtue of being born here, the citizen of the u.s. he's one of the authors who signed the amendment. >> he said it doesn't mean native americans born in the united states or foreigners. he said it doesn't mean people who are illegally in the united states. that was echoed by the judiciary chairman as well. the debate will eventually end up in the united states supreme court. they will say what did the framers intend? they didn't just say in the 14th amendment anybody born in the united states is a citizen. no, they added a qualifying phrase. and subject to the jurisdiction
6:44 pm
thereof. it makes it clear they didn't mean foreign people hereby illegally. it didn't mean native americans back then. that was only offered to them many years later. liz: but it meant people brought here as slaves. but it's by defining citizens by place of birth. i think it intent of the framers of the 14th are saying if you are born here, we are a country who identifies by where you are born. this brings fears of i.c.e. being a national citizenship police. what if a non-citizen wrecks my car, do i have the right to sue?
6:45 pm
>> you have the right to sue, but good luck collecting any money. the president is bringing up something that needs to be discussed. there are 275,000 babies born to people each and every year. the trend is rising. so the president is taking action. i realize if he signs an executive order it will be challenged in the court. if lindsey graham passes legislation, that will be challenged in the court. this is expediting it to the supreme court. they can decide what the framers of the 14th amendment meant. >> it feels like ripping apart the fabric of the country. why not stick to the front end. stick to the border instead much overturning that. >> a little of both need to be done. >> we agree on that. gregg, you are terrific.
6:46 pm
one of the most of violent gangsters in american history. james whitey bulger. two prison workers saying two inmates beat hum to death. he was serving the first of two life sentences for crimes including 2 murder. remember jack mickelson's character? it was loosely based on whitey bulger. hillary clinton says she would like to be president. but her long-time fundraiser terry mcal mcallive says she wot be on the ballot. going on at schwab. oh really? thank you clients?

not going to run for president. liz: that was terry mcauliffe. let's twaik said to our political panel. great to see you both. ford, what did you make of watery said? >> i think it's wishful keeping. i think it's the worst kept secret in politics that hillary wants to run for office. there is just enough clintonites left in the democratic party, if she got in, it would tear the party apart and trump would walk to reelection victory. >> i hope terry mcauliffe is right. and he would know because he was chair of herb 2008 cam pawn and co-chair of bill clinton's campaign for reelection. as ford says, republicans will

liz: welcome back. a short time ago, top military commanders are sending more than previously announced 5200 troops to the border. what is going there, about the size of the force fighting isis in iraq and syria. that is at the border. former army special fors member jim henson and former naval intelligence officer, don blamer. we're fast militarizing the border. they're living in neighborhoods with c-130s flying over head and night vision. that is scary for them, people on the border towns, right? >> i don't think so. i don't think anybody is scared of the united states military. liz: not of them. what is happening with the border, people flooding over the border. go ahead. >> let's talk about what they're to do, as a deterrent force more than anything else. part of the reason to deploy them, send a message of people organizing caravans and one to
6:57 pm
be organized, say this is not a free ride to the united states to apply for asylum which most are not eligible for and help some people sneak in while everybody is distracted. you put people down there. you have a bunch of people who expand the capabilities of our border patrol. give them helicopter support, air support and allow them more eyes to make sure nothing bad happens while this whole mess unfolds. liz: it's a putting a lot on our guys, don, guys and women in the border patrol. they're being stretched thin. you have to feel for people living in the border areas. they see illegals flooding past, drug traffickers, sex trackers, it has to be scary to live in those towns, right? >> it has to be scary. i applaud our men and women in uniform going down there. right now we have a 2,000 man short coming for the border patrol people. where are those bodies going to come from? we have to rely on national guard and men and women in uniform, providing support and
6:58 pm
infrastructure. just to be there observe what is going on, so border patrol can do their job. let our folks help them out. liz: such a failure of congress critics are saying, critics are saying that, jim. what is happening at the border what we're seeing. i.c.e. is so overloaded doing coordinated release, jim. can you talk about that? >> the problem congress kicked the can down the road. they were presented with a plan by president trump. they ignored it because it was too politically sensitive. president trump is aware that the american people do not want open borders. anything he does right now to show that he will not allow that is going to be welcomed by the american people. it is showing. the polls overwhelmingly say we don't want people to be able to walk from wherever and simply cross the united states. so i think there's a strong support for this. and whatever, you know, operational successes there are in stopping this my grant caravan i think will push other folks from determining it's a
6:59 pm
good idea to try it. liz: we've never seen phenomenon like this, these throngs of people, don, trying to get in. what is your take, we're hearing reports indicate illegals trying to cross, saying we have the law on our side, what is your take on that, don? >> obviously if you leave your home and going towards the united states, knowing that you're going to break the law and knowing this is a place where we have procedures and laws, you're going in as a bad citizen, someone who wants to break the law. how can you have the law on your side? these are people wanting to do this illegally knowing there is a process and a way to do this, they're going against the law. liz: jim, it shows how wrong they are, mexico is saying stay with us. no, we want jobs in the u.s. final word, jim. >> they had an opportunity, if asylum and fear in their own country, and a better life is what they wanted to do so in mexico. they turned down, because they want a better deal. a better deal is not on the
7:00 pm
table. they will not come into the united states. they will not be granted asylum. this is proof we'll not allow that. liz: jim, don, we really appreciate it. come back soon. thanks for having us in your hopes. thank you for watching. lou dobbs is next right here on the fox business network. ♪ lou: good evening everybody. our top stories president trump and first lady melania traveled to pittsburgh today, paying their respects to the families of the victims of the synagogue shooting this weekend that left 11 people dead. president trump offered the people of pittsburgh his respect, his compassion and the dems and national left-wing media were viciously attacking him, trying to blame him directly for the senseless tragedy. also, president trump promising bold action to end the practice of so-called birthright citizenship. the president saying he will sign an executive order that will remove the right of
