6:01 pm
not one more american life should be lost because our nation failed to control its very dangerous border. liz: that was president trump at his state of the union last night talking about love of country, moral duty to protect the border. he gave his list of why voters should be proud of their country. applauding astronaut buzz aldrin. signing the criminal justice reform bill. but many democrats sounds like trump, exactly like president trump not too long ago. we are talking nancy pelosi, chuck schumer and even president obama. >> reform means going to the back of the line behind those trying to come here illegally. >> we need to address the issue of undocumented pool coming into
6:02 pm
our country. >> illegal immigration is wrong, plain and simple. liz: there may be a breakthrough on a border security deal as president trump head to el paso, texas to barnstorm at the border. that will be his first rally of the year. he blasted democrats telling the american people the truth about socialism saying quote america will never be a socialist country. this as people from venezuela are pouring in applauding president trump, warning about socialism. russia is about to worry that maduro is losing his grip on power. rejecting food aid to starving venezuelans. and new information emerging about a night of slaughter ordered by maduro. presidential contender elizabeth ouren in big campaign trouble i head of her saturday
6:03 pm
announcement she is running for president. i'm elizabeth macdonald. "the evening edit" starts right now. [♪] welcome to the show. one day after president trump's state of the union address, optimistic signs from capitol hill. there might be a border security deal as soon as friday. let's get to edward lawrence. reporter: republicans say the president made a strong showing at the state of the union address. the democrats are taken aback by the president calling them out to work together. they say they want to take a wait and see approach. republicans say the democrats were obstructionists in all of this. during the state of the union
6:04 pm
speech, the president challenged them to choose greatness for all of america. house speaker may have been moved by that address, today changing her tune somewhat. she says left to their own devices i think they can have an agreement by friday. it has to be signed by the conference committee by friday. she said she spoke to richard shel.shelby: and told him whater they come to agreement on she'll support. they are working toward that. the president has not ruled out that he'll declare a national emergency if they don't have an agreement. liz: democrats were visibly and audibly unhappy with the president's comment on immigration. sounding a lot like trump, they made these comments not too long
6:05 pm
ago. >> reform means stab lushing a responsible path wait to earn citizenship and go to the back of the line to those folks trying to come here legally. >> while we need to address immigration and the challenge of undocumented people, we certainly don't want any more coming in. >> illegal immigration is wrong, plain and simple. people who enter the united states without our permission are illegal aliens and illegal aliens should not be treated the same as people who enter the u.s. legally. liz: did you hear the sound bite from nancy pelosi, we don't want any more coming in? >> this is what grifters do. they were saying that when they knew nothing would happen as a result.
6:06 pm
americans are irritating and you have to deal with them sometimes. so you say what you need to say to get rid of them. donald trump up produced an element of reality. they know now that when there is a discussion about an issue in the country, something will occur. so now you are seeing what everyone is made of, and i'm enjoying it, i hope everyone else is. liz: they were previously all for border security and now are against it. democrats like new york's kirsten gillibrand and alexandria ocasio-cortez, they want to abolish ice. they say it's not about prioritizing catching criminals. watch what the border patrol said to stuart varney. >> 9 out of 10 out of everybody in ice arrested, 87.6% were
6:07 pm
criminals. under the obama administration it's 55%. so we are doing a good job of prioritization over the last administration. >> the people affected first by crime from illegal aliens and undocumented people, ms-13, are the immigrant communities themselves. those are the people calling the police, who have gang members on the streets, whose houses are being broken into and their children are becoming addicted to drugs. if you call for an end to i.c.e., you will have community victimized over generations. as law enforcement does in every community, arresting people victimizing the communities. when you are calling for an end to i.c.e., you are calling for an end to kidnapping and they
6:08 pm
tend to kidnap african-american girls, moving them into the sex trafficking network. recruiting for gangs. the threats and intimidation in schools. this is what those communities are dealing with. do they want the communities to be even more victimized? to conflate the two. law-abiding citizens versus criminal illegal aliens. there are many citizens in those communities being affected. liz: he got applause from democrats saying we are for legal immigration. the democrats raise a lot of money when they talk about being against donald trump. >> krtrump. >> kirsten gillibrand sent out a
6:09 pm
fundraising call on her eye roll. who sits as hazy hir m air, sieo did and not applaud for a little kid with cancer. the ghouls. it's ghoulish when you are sitting there and smirk when you hear about wanting to end crime and want to go secure the border. when you are smirking and laughing at or rolling rain shower eyes over the lowest unemployment rate in the history of the country. who does that? who views this world and success as a problem? and that's what i think the
6:10 pm
american people saw with the women in white. it highlighted their behavior. and the sullen glum look as the president ticked off line after line of what's been accomplished for every one *, regardless of party. liz: there was no emergency border wall declaration. but he's saying he's going to get the wall built. you have come on the show and talked about the dangers of fentanyl. >> even prior to, about a week ago, when there was another batch, enough to kill 50 million americans, there have been huge batches of it. so little of it is required to kill. 80% of of that that comes from the southern border. in 2017 the number of deaths was more than the entire vietnam casualties combined with all the years of the war.
6:11 pm
if that's not a national emergency, i don't know what is. that's why the polls at the end of the address, 80% of independents loved the address. 76% from a cnn snap poll. there was a cbs and other cable polls had generally the same realm. 76-86 percent of americans loved what they saw. they know what they are facing in their lives. there is common ground on all those issues except for the part sang democrats who don't want to work with the president because they don't like him. liz: the dow, the s. & p500 all finishing the date lower. the s & p snapping a 5-day streak of gains. coming up on the show.
6:12 pm
we have a reality check on bernie sanders. he's not going to like what we tell you what we found as he tries to change the dna of the country. we have the latest details on what happened in that brutal crackdown in venezuela. russia's support isn't waning for maduro. people could be suffering because of what maduro did. as someone in witness protection, i can't tell you anything about myself. but believe me... i'm not your average consumer. that's why i switched to liberty mutual. they customized my car insurance,
6:13 pm
6:14 pm
6:15 pm
they were able to restore my good name. if you're under attack, i recommend calling reputation defender. and consider joining their groundbreaking campaign to give every american the right to remove old, inaccurate search results by going to righttobeforgotten.org. vo: if you have search results that are wrong or unfair, call reputation defender at 1-877-492-6705. but some give their clients cookie cutter portfolios. fisher investments tailors portfolios 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. mac mac comcast business built the nation's largest gig-speed network. then went beyond. beyond chasing down network problems. to knowing when and where there's an issue.
6:16 pm
6:17 pm
liz: there are fast-moving developments coming out of venezuela. reporter: the maduro government is blocking food and medical aid coming into venezuela. it has been stopped by ma dish oh with help from the military because they closed the border crossing from colombia. they put:fuel tankers across the road so the aid could not get in. the country is thought to have widespread hunger. >> the humanitarian crisis is real. he created a sham election and we said we are not going to recognize that. we tried to deliver humanitarian assistance into venezuela. and the venezuelan military
6:18 pm
under the direction of maduro stopped that. this is horrific stuff. reporter: maduro sent his s.w.a.t. team out to brutally murder people he thought were involved in that protest. at least 43 people have been killed and 500 have been jailed. the u.s. and almost every other democratic country in the world has recognized juan guaido as the legitimate president of venezuela. liz: you can see trish regan's full interview with secretary of state mike pompeo. the president talked a lot about the economic miracle that is the united states. the democrats grimaced and looked unhappy throughout. president trump: we are considered far and away the
6:19 pm
hottest economy anywhere in the world. not even close. unemployment has reached the lowest rate in over half a century. you be employment for americans with disabilities has also reached an all-time low. liz: joining me is trump's 016 campaign advisor, andy puzder. the president took on anti-semitism, sexism. he got democratic applause on that. why not the economy. >> the president's economic success has the left scared. but the idea that bigger government, more government programs will benefit american
6:20 pm
workers, will benefit blue collar workers better than free market capitalist policies like reduced taxes, reduced regulation and focus on domestic energy. the idea that big government would be superior to that, trump is putting the lie to all of that. he's smashing this notion that a government-run economy would work in this country. so they can't applaud. this anathema to them. liz: kirsten gillibrand is running for the presidency. she tweeted out her eye roll reaction to raise money. >> they are setting themselves up. i think the next two years will be tremendous for the economy.
6:21 pm
we have more people working. we also have $7 million job openings. so even more people working. their wages are up, the highest wage increases year over year in more than a decade, and they are taking home more of what they earned because of the tax cut. you will see consumer spending. that drives 2/3 of our economic growth and encouraged businesses to invest. i think we'll see strong gdp numbers. >> democrats did not clap or give applause as the president touted the oil boom. the oil boom kept u.s. out of recession it did start out of obama. your reaction to that? >> first of all, it started under obama because the private sector created this energy boom. he didn't let them use
6:22 pm
government lands. it was the private sector. he would like to take credit, but it's not appropriate. trump does deserve some credit. the energy prices, the fact that we have all these domestic oil is helping to keep inflation down which means consumers have even more money to spend. liz: president trump did get democrat applause when he said no one has benefited more from our thriving economy than women. and what i wanted to get to is the associated press fact checked the democratic response, stacey abrams went negative about the republican tax cuts. but the associated press said the economy is doing better in the wake of president trump's tax cuts.
6:23 pm
average hourly pay running ahead of inflation. the "new york times" grabbed that as well and said, stacey abrams, you got it wrong. >> it's almost impossible for anybody other than a stacey abrams, these far leftists who would do anything they could to hurt president trump. it's getting harder and harder to deny the tax cuts and deregulation have been incredibly beneficial for the economy. we have more people working, making more money, businesses are investing. the economy is going through this incredible economic boom. and you can't tell people who have more money in their pockets. you can't keep telling them they are being hurt. eventually they find out they have more money thank their pockets. it's why they put someone like stacey abrams in to give the
6:24 pm
rebuttal. she has nothing to lose. she does 10 minutes of liberal sound bites then goes off the air. this is going to hurt the democrats. the economy is booming. it will help republicans. i think people are smart enough to figure out this is because of president trump's capitalist free market policies. and if we stick with him, we'll brand-new fit as a nation. liz: the wall treat journal reporting that inspectors at that dam run by the big mining company. valet got early warning it would collapse and posed a high risk of failure. at least 150 people were killed when that dam burst. tesla cutting the price again on
6:25 pm
the model 3 sedan. this is the second time this year. they are cutting it down by $1,100. elon musk is racing to sell more cars. he wants to get that sticker price down to $35,000. he wants to sell more cars. an has big bond payments coming up. united airlines adding $1,600 premium seats to 260 domestic and international flights. delta and player can both recently added premium seats. ibm is developing new technology to protect the nation's power grid to save lives. using sensors to monitor when trees or brush threaten power lines. ibm says it may prevents
6:26 pm
wildfires. coming up, the president calling out democrat socialists saying your policies are bad and wrong for the country. this as venezuela's dictator blocking food aid to starving venezuelans. a reality check on bernie sanders's socialism. he grimaced a lot last night. and he'll grim as more when he hears what we have to say about his policies. more on that. keep it here. ♪ 'cause every day starts like a race. ♪ ♪ you got a side that loves that style, ♪ ♪ but to fit in those shoes gonna take awhile. ♪ ♪ today life's got you runnin'. ♪ ♪ tomorrow big things are comin'. ♪

6:34 pm
taxes. senator sanders proposed a tax on employers which trickles down to hours and wages. liz: middle class taxes will have to go up. sanders said it will dosr cost 10% much gdp annually which is twice what we called for world war ii. "the washington post" is saying if you dare to point out these facts, that sanders and the socialists get bullying. they shout you down as quote morally compromised sellouts. your reaction to the "washington post" saying this. >> i think they are on the right track in some ways. when you think about the medicare system and the way it's structured. for every dollar the medicare system pays in, the private system is paying in $2.50. if we remove the pry sat system
6:35 pm
you have a sixth of the u.s. economy that are gone overnight. these details aren't making the sunday morning talk shows, but they are real. liz: they are thinking medicare can be turned into a generous single payer understand system to wipe out all understand plans. does sanders and the socialists realize that medicare makes substantial use of medical insurance. medicare advantage covers more than a third of medicare beneficiaries. do they understand that? >> if they do, they are not talking about it. the private paid system is subsidizing it. the rest of the world which socialist loves to look at, and say they have got it. they can, they have the luxury

6:43 pm
even if it's a good thing. liz: hundreds of thousands could starve. your take on that? >> that's what we saw in so imlal with a warlord trying to control access of food and sustenance to people so they would be dependent on him and he would maintain power. you have a socialist dictator in venezuela. he's not concerned about the people. if anything he'll take those food resources and make sure it goes to his cronies and the military to keep them on his side. liz: the trump administration is suffocating the oil sector in venezuela. that's what nicolas maduro needs to pay the military to keep them
6:44 pm
happy. here is what the former mayor ramon muchacho said. i would like your reaction after the bite. >> maduro's regime believes it's going to after people and only in the imprison and torturing them, but also killing them. they are even killing minors. as young as 12 years. that's going on in venezuela right now. >> things are going very badly in venezuela. they are going so badly thatter latin american countries through the lima group are united with the trump administration in taking a hard line against the maduro regime it's rare to see latin american countries side with the united states against a fellow latin american country. liz: vladimir putin not showing any public support for maduro.

president trump: here in the united states we are alarmed by the new calls to adopt socialism in our country. america was founded on liberty and independence, and not government coercion, domination and control. we are born free and we'll stay free. tonight we renew our resolve that america will never be a socialist country. liz: that was president trump taking the fight right to the democrat socialists sitting there. bernie sanders and alexandria ocasio-cortez were not happy. this as venezuela is crumbling because of socialism. democrats in the u.s. are ramping up the push for it here. let's bring in the american experiment president' john leninger.
6:50 pm
>> this was me up favorite part of a very good speech. i think it's important for president trump to talk about socialism and like it to venezuela. people need to realize how radical many of these democrats are. many of these leading democrats are avowed socialists. and it's important to keep talking about venezuela. a lot of people don't know much about what's going on there. it's been 30 years since the soviet union implode. there is a whole generation that has grown up that did not experience that collapse of socialism and needs to learn why it is social yimple is not only a system that doesn't work, but is also an evil system. liz: critics are saying ocasio-cortez gave an honest response. they say she is always wrong,
6:51 pm
but never in doubt. what else your reaction to what alexandria ocasio-cortez said? >> she was typically incoherent. she described his comments about socialism as aned a who d as ann attack. obviously it's not an ad hominen attack. letter comments didn't make any sense. liz: bernie sanders keeps citing the nordic model -- denmark, sweden, moreway, officials keep saying there, we are not socialists, we are market-based economics. they don't have a minimum wage there. sweden, norway and denmark, they
6:52 pm
don't have a minimum wage. and they have school choice and vouchers. do they 10 know what they are talking about? >> all of those scandinavian countries have personal tax systems that are not as progressive as ours. what they are is countries that have got intensive welfare states, that's true. though sweden has been cutting back on its. but i do not think it is fair to call those countries socialist at all. liz: great to see you. come back soon. senator elizabeth warren forced to apologize after a report that she pretended to be an american indian on a texas bar application. we'll talk about judge andrew napolitano about that next. state stay right there. t some gs cookie cutter portfolios.

fisher investments tailors portfolios 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.
