at least now we have calorie counters. i want to know what that coffee cake has in it. david: i take a lot of coffee and this gives me another excuse to have it. here is "evening edit." >> amazon has found its next home for innovation right here in our commonwealth of virginia. >> a great day for new york city. >> amazon has no right to come to our city and demand subsidies from our city. and we are not going to allow that to happen. >> we'll think big and create a world class model for public-private partnerships. >> amazon is not -- liz: for the first time in

decades, the diehard liberals are finally fighting about creating jobs. we'll show you what they are fighting about. also, the conservatives who agree with liberals against these corporate tax breaks. this as the silver bullet the democrats are counting on to destroy trump. getting ahold of his tax returns. it may not be a done deal. trump argued the law is on his side. we'll explain. to the recount chaos in florida. we are on it with updates. we break down why broward and palm beach county are such train wrecks and republicans have every right to be angry. president trump says the broward county elections supervisor, been today snipes, should be fired. u.s. hardens the border as migrants now pour in, trying

tone hop the fences. who gets in, who doesn't. we have got the details. thank you for joining us. thank you for watching. money, politics. i'm elizabeth macdonald. "the evening edit" starts right now. welcome to the show. you are watching the fox business network. amazon getting billions of dollars in tax breaks from virginia and new york for new headquarters. for the first time since bill clinton, democrats now debating on the national level about what it takes to create jobs. in the fight, democrat governor'

andrew co-know and bill deblalsio. alexandria ocasio-cortez is fighting against corporate welfare. we are talk about a trillion dollar company run by a brillon air. she joined climate change protesters in nancy pelosi's d.c offices. she has been busy. great to see you. what's your take on all of this? >> congratulations to virginia and new york. if you have offer companies tax breaks, they come to your community. even liberals like deblasio and cuomo realize it creates jobs. but will you be ralls are telling other liberals, big companies don't create jobs. not very smart people like

alexandria ocasio-cortez and talks about what her liberal professors sold her that this is bad for new york. liz: what the cortez is saying -- conservatives are saying, foxconn did not help governor walker relationship reelection in wisconsin, and amazon didn't build in areas of the country that need the jobs. >> in wisconsin, foxconn tonight southeast part of the state. we have a lot of room to expand, unlike queens which is a narrow area. foxconn invested in the wisconsin education system, which means we'll have wisconsinites fill those new jobs. but the problem in new york is they will have outsiders from queens taking the jobs from amazon. the window washer and dishwasher

isn't pro will be going to work at amazon. but in our state of wisconsin it will be great for us. it didn't help governor walker, because i don't think everyone understands what kind of economic growth this will offer our state. but they will look back at this and they will thank governor walker for bringing the foxconn jobs and other companies spawned from foxconn being in our state. liz: this is about getting an educated skills workforce. amazon could turn new york city into a version of silicon valley by making it an incubator where amazon workers quit to create other tech companies. >> to be clear. in wisconsin they will train wisconsin workers. they are going to improve their skill set in wisconsin schools. they don't have the skill set

now but they will in a couple years to get the high-paying jobs. when you get high-tech companies in your community it's great for spawning new growth. because the skill set in the communiti' is good as well. liberals argued against donald trump. he reduces taxes and lower regulations. the liberals are hitting him for that as jobs are coming back from jeff seas. donald trump did the same thing and they bash him every single day. lower taxes, less regulation, big companies, small come any, and more jobles for our country. i don't think they understand what impact the taxes and

regulations have. and i think it would be great if amazon had looked elsewhere and we didn't see northern virginia, a suburb of d.c. and new york city. if they had gone to mitch mcconnell or kansas city or somewhere else in the midwest, that would have been great. but amazon was wonderful in making different cities around north america compete for their headquarters. amazon wins. and i think the citizens of northern virginia and new york will win. but it will be interesting to seep alexandria ocasio-cortez fight with other liberals as she fights with governor cuomo. amazon goes against the ideology of the liberal progressive left. liz: let's welcome to the show mitchell taylor, the ce to of

and job training program in' long side city. he's quoted in the wall street journal saying this. we have to make sure the opportunities amazon affords are evenly distributed or accessible by all. good to see you, bishop. what's your take on the story? >> it could be good or it could be great. when i talk to the 35,000 or so people who live in public housing in northwestern queens. they are asking, how can we be a part of this new economy. what preparation and opportunities and training will be given to us. you have the tale of two cities less than a half mile away. you have the largest public housing development in the country. 96 buildings in a 6-block

radius. ' average income $25,000 a year. needless to say we know there are a lot of challenges in that development. right? down the street there are three more developments. this could be good, this could be great. but folks are saying how do we fit in? one thing i do agree with the congressman about. what they did in wisconsin. they started investing in the schools to train folks to be ready five, six, seven, ten years down the road. liz: do you agree with the tax breaks given to amazon so maybe the people in the' housing projects could get a job? >> i'm not anti-amazon, i'm pro the people who grew up in my neighborhood. my father started in 1961. and we have always been on the

cutting edge of social issues. we are trying to figure out how we can get in and be a part of this new economy. liz: your people really want to work. >> they want to work. this could be a capital sea change for our neighborhood. we have america's largest grocer coming into the neighborhood that doesn't even have a grocery store. we are not asking for a handout. we are asking for a hand up. giving the tools and resources for opportunities. liz: there is off and halo effect when companies like amazon come to town. are you talking about that? >> yes. but you can't eat a halo.

liz: but other companies come to town, right? >> there will be ripple effects, ancillary effects. small companies will start up. this could be great. right? this could be great. but i think amazon has to talk to the local folks on the ground, you know. the local leaders on the ground. we do have an organized contingent of clergy and local leaders in long island city that would love to sit down and have that conversation. liz: can you come back on the show and tell us how it's going? i would love to get an update from you. mitchell taylor, thank you so much. let's take it to the panel. patrice, you just heard the bishop and the debate about corporate welfare, and the conservatives are aligning with

alexandria ocasio-cortez. >> i think alexandria makes some interesting points about corporate welfare. the idea that a targeted tax greek one company encourages an environment where you have jockeying by one company with the the you spngs of zoning laws that don't get to go to other businesses. let's not forget, the taxpayers will be on the hook. i thought i saw $48,000 per taxpayer in new york for these generous tax benefits. i'm tall for insuring companies can set up shops in places like new york city. liz: is this a big fat down payment for future economic growth and jobs? >> at first glance it looks that way. i saw the graphic you put on the

screen. and look there will be is a reason why governors are successful creating jobs in their state and people look to them because unlike members of congress they have to create jobs in their state as opposed to opine in ivory tower speak about what is redistribution of wealth. governor cuomo and governor northram did a good job for their states. liz: it's good to see hard left liberals talking about how to create jobs. >> i'm glad they recognize reforming the tax code is a good way to do it. >> this happens all the time. governors do it all time for car companies, tech companies all across the country. liz: let's get to other headline

news. high stakes election behind closed doors in capitol hill. kevin mccarthy will succeed paul ryan when he leaves in january. in england, theresa may is having a heck of a fight. the concern is may's party could be in trouble if this fight hits obstacles. the e.u. is going to give it a hard time. may's position as prime minister far from safe, depending on what happens. former independent party leader my gem farage calls this the worst deal in history. the way the deal stand now, he calls for her to step down and

liz: the death toll from the northern california fires death toll is 51. there is a law scoot over the power company. the believe is the power companies are behind the fires. sir, thank you for your service your state. what do you need right now? >> the containment figures are starting to come up. the hill fire is pretty much done. the woolsey fire is 27% and it hasn't grown at all.

the campfire, we are at 135,000 acres with 35% containment. it's still active around different places around the perimeter. we have 9,000 individuals who have come in from 17 states as well as our firefighters and the national guard assisting in this battle. it looks like we are reaching that corner. liz: we are hearing the fire in southern california was moving so fast it was burning through 50 acres in 30 minutes. and you have hurricane-force winds. >> not quite hurricane force winds. but think of the topography. in northern california, we are look at 50-60-mile-per-hour winds. and then through the majority of paradise. so the winds have been blowing like we saw in october and

december of last year. liz: ways your take on the pg & e lawsuits. they were also blamed for the fires that hit the while country last year. >> we do the investigation so i cannot address that at this time. liz: governor jerry brown has been cite sides for the 2016 veto of a law that would have put the force of law to get utilities to mitigate wildfire risks from power equipment. but the governor said the law was redundant. what's your take on this? liz: i appreciate you coming on, sir. we'll be thinking of you guys in

california. the dead lid fires damaging historic hollywood sites. the mash television set. parts of the reagan ranch. the paramount ranch. the fires displacing pets and wild animals. causing a statewide health emergency. but lept get more on the fire in northern california. claudia cowan is on the ground in paradise with the latest. claudia? reporter: six more bodies were found bringing the death toll to 48. the big question is how many more victims will be found. an updated list of those missing, the names of 98 people, most of of them elder lire who have not been seen since this fire started. among the dead, jesus fernandez.

he's being remembered as a considerate neighbor and loving father. this afternoon interior secretary vine zinke -- ryan zinke met with first responders. a small army of coroner recovery teams, chap lanes, national guard, searching every piece of property. they don't want someone to come across human remains once the evacuation is lifted. not knowing about their loved ones or their homes, coupled with the unhealthy air is add together anxiety. many shelters are filled to capacity. many in nowhere else to go are camping in parking lots. >> i'm in the walmart parking

lot. liz: nearly 6,000 firefighters have the campfire 36% contained. most of of the city is in ashes. the hospitals, high schools, city hall and several department stores did not burn. those buildings will burn as symbols of hope and endurance as paradise faces the long road to recovery. liz: stay right there. we have a jam-packed hour coming up.

liz: the associated press reporting that michael avenatti who became famous for representation of stormy daniels. he's now in custody, apparently arrested for felony domestic violence. the university of iowa law

professors and lawyers say the law is on the president's side with requests for his tax returns. he's saying the law says the democrats can only access the tax returns under the irc code. >> the law is on the president's side here. i doifn this when i was chairman of the oversight committee. but the president has complied fully with his financial disclosures. there is no well requirement to disclose his tax returns. but he has a choice and he's chosen not too. there are only four people outside the i.r.s. the committee on senate finance. theways and means chairman and the president himself.

liz: the committee is saying they should be able to access the tax returns. but the professor says president trump can point to the scotus decision say floition congressional power to expose tax returns just for the sake of exposure. just for a fishing expedition. >> 26u.s.c.2363. you can see where members of congress shouldn't be able to access anybody's tax returns for purely political reasons. we see democrats throwing this around, we have to dive in there. they have to have a legitimate reason to access it. and if they do, they have to go into closed session, and they can't share the outside the group. and yet the democrats are trying

to do, abuse the president. they are on a fishing expedition. there is no allegations of something specific the president has done wrong. liz: the president is trying to fix the country. that's what his supporters say. he's work hard every day to fix the country. watch this. remember may havele maddow said she -- remember rachel maddow said she had the president's tax returns? she didn't. she only has the first page. the president paid $38,000. whatever numbers are. it has to do with the alternative minimum tax. could they say we have legitimate reason to go into the returns? >> they have been saying since the moment he was sworn in that they have to get after his tax

returns because he's a cheat. it's a fishing expedition. what the president is required to do by law is financial disclosures. there are no allegations of wrongdoing or anything inappropriate. but the democrats. this is what they are doing. they are on a fishing expedition. liz: guess who never files his financial disclose iewrs on time the last five years. bernie sanders. i didn't know you were so well versed on this. >> i did some research. and it's called 6103. and it's highly protected. liz: let's get to the political power panel. al, what's your take on this? >> for once i agree with chicago on chaffetz. there are 100 things the democrats ought to investigate

before they go after the president's tax returns. it will just aggravate him and his supporters. there are legitimate policy issue ofs. what's going on with healthcare, our energy sector. liz: patrice, what's your take? >> i agree. americans don't care at this point. if we look at where the americans are about president trump's tax returns. americans care about who released them. when they voted for a divided government they didn't vote for more investigation and harassment of the trump administration. they voted for a congress that would get something done. this an obsession with tax returns pore political motives. liz: i wish i could have more time with you. you have been really smart.

you have been great. thank you very much. let's get to other washington headlines. the justice department issuing a memo outlining why the president's pick of the assistant attorney general' matthew whitaker. a brief filed in court by fox in support of cnn's lawsuit against the president for blocking jim acosta's trespass. liz: election chaos still in florida. what exactly did election night become election week. we are get into the bottom of that story.

"the washington post" getting blasted for warning that trump face as the serious problem two years from now. a recession. really? we are all over it. stay with us. a once-in-five hundred year storm should happen every five hundred years, right? fact is, there have been twenty-six in the last decade. allstate is adapting. with drones to assess home damage sooner. and if a flying object damages your car, you can snap a photo and get your claim processed in hours, not days. plus, allstate can pay your claim in minutes. now that you know the truth... are you in good hands?

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. liz: recounts, legal battles now swamping florida senate election. much of the state facing recount deadline tomorrow. but not palm beach county. why? they are tabulating machines overheated. rick scott has a razor thin edge over bill nelson. 50.07% of the ballots counted. that's a margin of 12,500 vote difference. election night scott's lead was

75,000, then it went down from there. election night is turning into election week. president trump telling the daily caller the broward county elections supervisor brenda snipes should be removed. >> she shut be fired. she has been caught red-handed several times. not just this election, but previous elections as well. she mishandled, cheated, according to the "miami herald" with provisional ballots. the law says in every state. if you show up at the polls and you don't have an i.d. or your name isn't on the voter registration -- rolls.

the democrats in georgia and florida are suing. they say count all the votes. they mean count the votes that can't be validated. they mean count the cheating votes, not just the honest votes. liz: why can't broward and palm beach county get their act together. >> the overuse of provisional and mail-in ballots. that's where the cheating is done. when people go to the polls and vote by machine there is no cheating. but when you have mail-in ballots that have to be opened and verified or provisional votes. liz: 150 displaced voters voted by emails. and that's not allowed. >> americans want voting to be

easy, but they also want it to be honest. the pendulum has swung way too far to easy. we talk about confidence in elections and russian hackers. this is election officials saying give us a lot of play because after election night, that's when the lawyers and the judges. liz: shut down midnight election night. >> mail-in ballots should be due way before election day so they are counted ahead of time. provisional ballots. tighten those rules. liz: betsy mccaughey, were you are terrific. >> beware of 2020 if we don't get this fixed. liz: remember the pundits that said when trump won on election

night that he would crash the global economy. now the same gang is saying trump's economy could hit a down turn right before he runs for the presidency. somehow "the washington post" says trump faces a recession two years from now. can you predict what will happen two years from now? if you're waiting patiently for a liver transplant,

careful not to raise interest rates too quickly and stop the expansion, balancing that with moving too slowly and causing inflation. >> we are at a point now where we have to take both of those risks very seriously. that's why we have been raising rates quite gradually. reporter: the federal reserve chairman saying the debt is unsustainable. it's something we need to address now. it's a fiscal policy, not a monetary policy. liz: good to see you, sir. president trump is facing -- look at this. president trump facing the exact same fight ronald reagan faced. trump is getting pushback to get rid of his tax cuts that powered the economy. reagan republican party lost 26 seats in 1982. the "new york times" back then

just like "the washington post" today saying the trump revolution could stall out. they said that about the reagan revolution. what should the president do? let's take it up with lee carter. >> my take is the president will keep going the same way he has been going. he ignores criticism for the most of part. when he has a policy in mind, he's going to keep going. and this is sort of the way it goes. with tax reform, people always say it won't do what it's supposed to do. we are going to see that it will take hold. the economy is going to be stimulated from the tax reform. and whoever is next will take credit for what trump did. this president is one that he talks about it in the art of the deal. you have got to ignore your critics and keep your core. liz: democrats want to raise the corporate tax rate higher and

gas taxes to pay for structure. the president will have a tough go of it here. >> it's not surprising that the left, the democrats are trying to say the tax cuts are not work. the on thing he gets good ratings on is on the economy. liz: the prospect of presidential harassment by the democrats is causing the stock market big headaches. the democrats know if the president caves and raises taxes, it's a george h.w. bush death knell all over again. >> i don't think he'll cave on that. he's talking about tax cut 2.0 and making the tax cuts permanent. liz: there is a new wave of republicans coming in. maybe they are more energetic

standing behind the president. >> the bottom line is this. republicans will want to stay in power. i think that they are going to stick this one out. it will be a tough battle. we are talking about the future. we can't see it yet. when the market is volatile. of course, there will be some scepticism. i think this president is committed to it. they will have to find another ray to reel back spending. liz: remember when reagan did this tax cuts, the economy started booming, starting from 1983 to 1989. >> it was. he took intense scrutiny when he was doing it. i think we'll see a similar thing here. liz: he'll stand firm like

reagan. >> he should. liz: you have got to write your thanksgiving dinner survival guide. lee, you are so great. coming up. migrants starting to pour into the border and literally over the border fence in tijuana. defense secretary james mattis visiting troops down there. we'll bring you the latest next.

liz: welcome back, key development on border, defense secretary mate is -- mattis saying there are 5900 troops deployed, that could climb to 7,000. hundreds of migrant showing up, one man jumped to american side before running back to the mexico side. unfolding over a battle on on border security. kevin and amber are back. >> good to be with you. liz: what do you think is going on now. >> president told daily caller, he would consider shutting down

government to secure funding for the border wall. this could be a priority for lame duck congress before democrats take control. it will be a lot more difficult to get democrats and republicans to agree on an immigration solution once democrats take control. congress is looking at a solution now. on the border, trump is always focused on migrant caravan. at the same time there are more illegal immigrants who cross of day than are in that caravan in total. that is why troops are there early, working in support roles to make sure once people step foot on u.s. soil. liz: we have barked wire -- barbed wire and trooped. what is your take. >> we have to remove politics from this. we increased number of border

agents 4 times since 1990s, both administrations. i want to see this president do is show his art of the deal leadership with negotiation, democrat put forward a plan to support up crises border security by 1.6 billion, if that is rejected by president, let's see him come to table, put something forward. it is laid at feet of this president. liz: the president did have a deal to double daca recipients, in exchange for funding for the border wall, democrats saying no. >> right, democrat don't want the wall, that a sticking point for them, they refused to make a deal that includes a full border wall, that a huge part of republican-led immigration reform. if these people are able to step

one foot to u.s. soil, they can claim asylum, then they backlog the process for years, as the claims get vetted,. the goal is to prevent illegal immigration in first place, that is wall has been so important for this president, there are republicans within the party, who don't agree with the concept of building a wall, that coupled with democratic opposition makes it tricky. liz: a wall is a disincentive to future caravans. >> if you see a wall, you get a larger ladder, we debeat it all of the time. >> there 1900 miles of our border with mexico, we need to improve places where we can. there are other means to dissuade people. liz: running out of time, kevin and amber thank you, you have been terrific. >> thank you. >> thank you. liz: catch our special guest
