drug lord el chapo could help pay for it. are the critics right or wrong? and the pushback against progressive democrats clinton administration amazon out of new york. local democrats, and constructioandconstruction unio. they now they are getting attacked for misunderstanding the nuts and bolts of the deal. ocasio-cortez says i was not celebrating lost jobs. i was celebrating the community standing up. if you still think alexandria ocasio-cortez's green new deal is a good idea. take a good hard look at germany and california and the chaos they endured. you might think twice about what sound good in theory in the veal

world. john bolton says the media is missing the story in venezuela. senior military brass negotiating whether to flip to juan guaido or leave venezuela. the pentagon is moving to position 200 tons of humanitarian aid including food and medical supplies as maduro and his military still block food aid there. we'll show you tonight the upcoming deadlines for the crackdown in venezuela that could bring all this to a head. i'm elizabeth macdonald. "the evening edit" starts right now. welcome to the show. you are watching the fox business network. let's get to president trump declaring a national emergency to pay for the border wall.

the white house revealing drug lord el chapo could help pay for some of it, not all of it. edward lawrence is live in washington with details. reporter: the president saying he's not happy with that compromise spending bill saying it won't address the emergency at our southern border. he says he'll take the $1.37 billion. $601 million from the treasury department's drug forfeiture fund. which el chapo ran. so el chapo will pay for part of the wall. and $3.5 billion from the defense department military budget. a barrier is at the core of president trump's security plan. president trump: you don't have a border, you don't have a

country. we fight before i got here, we fight all over the world to create borders for countries. but we don't create a border for our own country. reporter: nancy pelosi calls the declaration unlawful. others say the president is creating this crisis and is setting a dangerous precedent. >> it's not the right way for the president to end run congress when he is unsatisfied with a compromise. reporter: this could end up in the 9th circuit court of appeals and possibly the supreme courted. supreme -- supreme court. liz: let's get to the pushback against the president. the national journal reporting,

it may be stopped in court. five republican senators coming out against declaring a national emergency. marco rubio, ron johnson, john core flynn, thom tillis and susan collins. senator rubio really is attacking this. i want your reaction to senator rubio saying we have a crisis at our southern border but no crisis justifies violating the constitution. he says the democrats could use this for the green new deal. >> president obama used it 18 times. but you have to understand why we are here. they have been working on border security since ronald reagan and we do not have it. we have all these presidents

with executive orders and the national emergency act to secure our southern border since george bush's day in 2001 and it's not secure. we have a different situation we have now. i would rather not go down this route, but the number one task of government is security. i disagree with marco rubio on this. on this i think it's time we draw a line and we get security at our borderers. liz: nancy pelosi says democrats are reviewing their options. nancy pelosi says there is no emergency at the border. >> when the president declares an emergency, first of all it's not an emergency what's happening at the border. the president is make an end-run around congress. liz: nancy pelosi warned the republicans the next president could declare a national

emergency on something else like the parkland gun shooting. >> you know, miss pelosi is going to say what she is doing -- her goal is to win 2020. she is not worried about the now. she is looking at 2020. what we have at the border it's a humanitarian crisis. but for the people living on the border in texas and new mexico and arizona. when people are coming there and holding you at gunpoint and robbing. there is a crisis. for those people it is an emergency. when we look at the drugs, and granted a lot of the drugs come through normal channels. but there are plenty of drugs that come unchecked through these borders. this is a crisis in our country and it will lead to a national emergency. secure the border whether it's a wall, technology, beefed up at

the legal checkpoints. but do whatever you have to do to make this country safe. that's the number one task of our federal government. president trump tried to do this through the normal routes and it comes up short year after year. this is the time. let's get this done so we don't have to debate this the future. liz: your reaction to the democrats fundraising asking for funds to fight back. >> democrats are going to do what they do. there always low bar level of how they participate in this. the political process. they will raise money on anything they can because their hatred for donald trump is so strong. what they should focus on and raise money on is what's best for america. what's best for this country. if you take it politics out of it, it's national security. and we are not even addressing those things affecting this nation. it's our national debt, our

educational system. we are going down in world educational scores. we spend so much time in the political circus on investigations. we don't go after those things that are serious in effecting this country. those are the things that we should. those are the things the democrats ought to raise funds on instead of a political dwield they shall on the wrong side of. liz: democrats alexandria ocasio-cortez and joaquin castro introduction emergency legislation to stop the president's declaration. this is look to be a war of attrition fought in the courts. analysts say you can expect landowners, possibly environmentalists filing suit. the white house counsel say together president, don't do it, it's a highlight nation risk. we went through the laws and

found the president has the authority to use funds for a border barrier. let's bring it up with a former defense attorney. what else your take on this, sir? >> it's absolutely legal for the president to declare an emergency under the national emergencies act. even the president's critics have pointed out rightly that the president has broad discretion to invoke an emergency. the word emergency is not even defined in the statute. the real fight, the real legal fight will in the next step. where is the money going to come from. reprogramming of funds. the president head clear that it will come from various departments of the executive branch. the ultimate question is, this is a constitutional issue that is called separation of powers. nancy pelosi wants to say it's unconstitutional that the president doesn't have this

power where the president is saying under the constitution the president has the authority and obligation to secure the nation. and the courts generally have given the president broad deference. liz: we were first to break this story about how the president can do this more than a month ago. let's roll the tape. let's show loophole number two in a 2016 law that's authorized the pentagon to fight drug trafficking. you can use appropriated funds for the building of roads and fence construction and more along smuggling corridors. we looked at a 1993 supreme court ruling saying the president can do this with already appropriated funds. the '76 emergency declaration act. there is language that says yes he can do this. the gao says yes he can do this. we found two other laws passed

that say the president can do this. he has a shot of winning, even at the supreme court level. >> you put two lawyers in a room and you get three opinions. at the core of this, is this an emergency. i'll tell you, being a native southern californian, i ask everyone to come down to a border county like san diego. the illegal fentanyl coming over illegally into the united states, human trafficking, minors and adults being trafficked over in san diego. i would like anyone to come over here and challenge the factual basis that this is an emergency. nancy pelosi called it merely a human carian issue. liz: california's attorney general disagrees with you. would you take him on? >> absolutely. i would be happy to take on the

california general -- attorney general any day of the week. he does not believe in the will of the american people. liz: thank you so much for joining us. we appreciate your perspective and analysis. let's get to your money. stocks in rally mode. within spitting disstance of all-time record highs. the dow is 900 points away from its all-time high. gerri willis has more. gerri: a great day for your 401k. the dow up 1.47%. the nasdaq up 45. why all the optimism? china and u.s. trade talks. they look like they may be coming into the train station. the president saying that march

1 deadline for coming to an agreement, he may let that pass without raising tariffs on china. in the meantime hopes are high on the floor of the new york stock exchange that we'll get a deal soon. goldman sachs, jpmorgan chase higher today. unfortunately for apple, buffet said he was scaling back on his apple investment and that sent apple shares lower. coca-cola was down, too. what they said about 2019. they had a weak outlook and that sent shares of that stock lower today. liz: next on "the evening edit." amazon going after alexandria ocasio-cortez after new york city loses out on 25,000 new

americans have the power to organize and fighter for their communities. liz: here is cortez today. >> first all, that's not what it's a celebration of whatsoever. what this is a celebration of is that everyday people in the community stood up and they wanted a say in what was happening in their own backyard. liz: seth, your take on this? >> it sounds like she is learning very quickly how to be a congresswoman, saying one thing, reversing it. coming up with the most of south ray just statements as we saw with the green new deal, then claiming she didn't mean it. the amazon deal was not disliked by the members of her community. people wanted it. it was popular among all know. particularly people of color, blacks and latinos.

it was opposed by a radical contingent of anti-gentrification activists who hate capitalism and development. now what do they get? liz: this is like who do you believe me or your lying eyes with cortez. new york city has a budget shortfall and taxpayers are leaving. how are they going to pay for their progressive wish list. >> new york state has a lot of wealthy people and a healthy economy. this type of anti-jobs and anti-development ageneral days not going to attract business, and it sends a bad signal to the business community. liz: estimates show $27 billion could be pouring in. there have been questions about that. but we have been reporting it. there was never a pile of $300

billion sitting there that they were going to give them. that's incentives. >> that's money they would have earned that would have been taxed that would have been abated. liz: watch what one local new york man had to say. >> to say the capital of business in the entire world doesn't want business. we are closed forward business in queens. if you are too big you get the ire of office seekers. liz: democrats were ripping into amazon for opposing unionization. but the building trades wanted this deal. >> they did because it would have been built by union labor. the iron workers and electrical work were going to get a lot of money. plus 3,000 building service workers would have worked in those buildings and they would have been unionized.

it's a terrible mistake on all the side of the progressives. i don't know what they were thinking. this is not a victory for working people or the community. and right now the plazaing in longed side city is a wasteland. it's not like amazon is preventing green, sustainable jobs from sprowght up. there is nothing there. just increasing stagnation and calling it a victory. liz: even morning joe was saying the same thing over at msnbc. it sounds like they have been agreeing with what we were saying all along. >> komo and deblasio who orchestrated this deal. they mismanaged it. they didn't bring in the community. but they were for it.

everyone was for it except for a handful of radical leftist socialists. liz: they would have been paying more property taxes and individual income taxes into the state and the city. we are tracking other developing stories. we begin in brazil. police arrested 8 workers linked to that defend stating disaster operated by mining giants vale. four managers and four members of a tech safety team were arrested. 160 people died when that dam burst. a drone scare grounding flights for a half-hour at the world's busiest airport, dubai, international. this as drones interrupted flights at gatwick in evening and liberty in new jersey.

they want you to do to turn the board around bring attendants up and bring the ratings up reactivate the fanbase. i've got a list of them. short tracks change of schedule friday night races, gambling and then we have got more to cover so what can you get done quickly? when you took over for brian france after brian got a dwi last year what can you and jeff france to quickly? >> jim has a vision for this board and we have a plan for the sport and we are going to execute it. some of the things you talked about are all things we are looking at to do quickly. we have a policy in place and we are going to be able to do that. we have a brand-new ease sports league we are doing. each one of these is going to help us get more engaged with the fanbase and that's what we need to do. more short track races. more road crew course races whether fans want as well. we are going as quickly as we

can. >> in terms of the fate of that what can you do in the next year what will give you the most impact to determine changes you might make? >> we obviously are schedule is set. we have the daytona 500 on sunday on fox which we are excited about so our season is set for 19 and will come up with a new schedule for 20 around april 1 and that will have a lot of the things and the offense we think they are going to be interested in and help generate excitement. >> so for people who are not that familiar with nascar at this track at the international speedway is one of 13 tracks. it was essentially controlled by the founding france family and in essence these tracks they want to fold them into the body of nascar and bring those together. their other tracks. people are talking about this is

a step towards selling it. can you talk about that? >> i can't get into the thinking which is what nascar is for. what i can say is jim france and lisa france kennedy the ceo of international speedway corp. are doubling down on this sport and they are excited about the future. part of that is to make sure all the stakeholders, and ours is unique so we have got auto manufactures and we have got teams and other racetracks. we have got sponsor partners bringing everyone together understanding the decisions and also what is their parts so we want to hold ourselves accountable. what are they going to do as well so we have had discussions with them over the last few months and if you sense the excitement around the folks that you have talked to its coming. they feel it which is great. >> they love it and there is

definitely an energy there. how many races are you going to this year? >> well i have to stick with the same answer which is 30. we have 36 races and two exhibition races sunday and the all-star race so i'm going to get a bunch of them. >> 30 is a lot. >> i have other obligations do. >> 30 is a lot. >> dave thank you and thank you for having us. i will come to any track and i want to thank eric mcewen ben west, my crew. they are amazing people just like you in this job. liz: think you dagan mcdowell. she loves nascar. be sure to catch the big races sunday at 2:30 p.m. eastern time on fox sports. now just coming into democrat representatives reportedly seeking co-sponsors of a new single-payer bill. it's an updated version of the earlier legislation.

they want to introduce the measure later this month. let's bring in dr. kline. how are they going to pay for it? >> well, i don't think they can and it's not doable. liz: it's flat out not doable. go ahead. >> you, please. liz: one of the co-sponsor reportedly told reporters the bill will not spell out the tax increases needed to pay for the immense cost of the measure. your take on that? >> i mean it won't and what they are talking about doing is providing comprehensive complete health care for everybody in the united states. they are going to give everybody everything and there are going to be an individual patient contributions and they are going to pay for it by taxes. of course they don't want to include taxes and the bill. liz: you know what, do you know why? is it because, here is my question to you.

do they realize they would have to raise middle-class taxes to pay for it? >> this isn't a real proposal. first of all it was great that you call that a single-payer plan. has nothing to do with medicare. it isn't medicare for all. it's an government takeover of health care and as you suggested on affordable. the mercatus institute at george mason university estimated senator sanders plan which is what we have to go on would cost $32 trillion, trillion dollars. liz: medicare has private insurance inside it so you can't really call it medicare for all because medicare again relies on private insurance and medicaid advantage as well. >> it has nothing to do with medicare. it's a great slogan but it's not true. it simply is not what medicare is. medicare has a lot of individual personal contributions not only currently.

most individuals pay into the program in different ways but also they could have contributed to it. they have contributed to it through their lifetime. liz: dr. roger kline with the federalist society, good to see you sir. coming up if you think alexander cortez is a green new deal do you think it's a good idea cooks we will show you real world examples on why you might want to think again on that the first the trump administration's full-court press for freedom. the socialist dictatorship in venezuela not a breaking point. senior military officials talking about deserting nicholas maduro and even leaving the country as a crackdown with brand-new sanctions on maduro's inner circle. key deadlines fast approaching that could potentially bring this crisis to the breaking point. that is next. type 2 diabetes, are you thinking about your heart? well, i'm managing my a1c, so i should be all set.

right. actually, you're still at risk for a fatal heart attack or stroke. even if i'm taking heart medicine, like statins or blood thinners? yep! that's why i asked my doctor what else i could do... she told me about jardiance. that's right. jardiance significantly reduces the risk of dying from a cardiovascular event for adults who have type 2 diabetes and heart disease. that's why the american diabetes association recommends the active ingredient in jardiance. and it lowers a1c? yeah- with diet and exercise. jardiance can cause serious side effects including dehydration. this may cause you to feel dizzy, faint, or lightheaded, or weak upon standing. ketoacidosis is a serious side effect that may be fatal. symptoms include nausea, vomiting, stomach pain, tiredness, and trouble breathing. a rare, but life-threatening, bacterial infection in the skin of the genital area could also occur. stop taking jardiance and call your doctor right away if you have symptoms of this bacterial infection, ketoacidosis, or an allergic reaction. symptoms of an allergic reaction include rash, swelling, and difficulty breathing or swallowing. do not take jardiance if you are on dialysis or have severe kidney problems. other side effects are sudden kidney problems,

genital yeast infections, increased bad cholesterol, and urinary tract infections, which may be serious. taking jardiance with a sulfonylurea or insulin may cause low blood sugar. tell your doctor about all the medicines you take and if you have any medical conditions. so, what do you think? now i feel i can do more to go beyond lowering a1c. ask your doctor about jardiance today.

liz: we have breaking news out

of venezuela. the truck demonstration full-court press for freedom in venezuela appears to have socialist dictator nicolas maduro on the ropes for national security adviser john bolton of revealing to gillian turner and a "fox news" exclusive that for the first time senior military figures close to maduro now negotiating, deserting nicholas maduro and flat out leaving the country is the trump administration today slapped brand-new sanctions on maduro's inner circle including officials in charge of running his intelligence and security services. let's bring in john caulfield and former senior diplomat who had been stationed venezuela. first your reaction. what is your reaction to what mr. bolton said? >> the opposition, the united states and countries that see the situation the way we do are trying to raise the ante on the venezuelan military to get them to or the way we are doing this as saying if you persist not

only your future is at risk but your money is at risk. we hope that the venezuelan military and the senior officers will make a wise choice and decide to transition to a new civilian government and to choose to leave their current position. liz: what's your reaction to today's new sanctions on maduro 's inner circle. your reaction to that? >> going for the money really make sense because that is what motivates these people and if they fear that no of emily is there money at risk in the welfare of their families they may be more willing to make a deal. that's certainly what we are hoping for. liz: crucial deadlines fast approaching in venezuela. first there's the february 23 deadline where the current president why though told maduro's you have to let food and aid into the country or i

will move everything on earth to do that in april 28 are off with nicolas maduro mess with all the u.s. sanctions cold -- when all the sanctions fully kick in. >> of the money dries up and for the most part the money will dry up by the tenth of april the country can no longer feed itself. the country cannot buy equipment to keep the oil industry running so this is going to impose a crisis. it's only going to get tougher from here on in. maduro has to assess whether he's going to have the loyalty of the military in the country as he tries to navigate this crisis but there's no way out that i can see. there's no source of money and no source of food that's going to bail him out. liz: rank-and-file in the military. the pentagon is positioning food aid at the border with columbia. john caulfield we love your perspective and we appreciate you coming in. thank you so much.

next up we are sitting on the green new deal. alexandria cortez is saying this is what the country's needs but critics warn look at the economics headaches piling up into the worlds biggest economies that are trying to go green. you may think before you leap and then trump declares a national merchants he and a last-ditch effort to get more money for the wall. democrats making a pitch for your money to block the wall. we will explain, next. 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. fisher investments. clearly better money management.

break even if you would go down this path and everybody would abide by the paris accord in everyone would say we will do all of this through 2030 you would lower the temperature by .086 degrees by 2100 in the process of annihilating the economy. it is amazing to me ended the other point i would make on this is how repressive and how much they cost. the pocketbook issue and let's continue to push harder people see the effect on their pocketbook i do think there'll be a backlash against the left. the costs are increasing and the amazing thing about california they are determined to get 50% of their energy off of renewables by 2030. liz: the outlying natural gas would drop that in nuclear power plants. look at your money nearly 600 early in dollars by 2025, tax rates going up electricity prices going up in the thing is greenhouse gas emissions have not decreased for the last nine years.

watch this. germany said no nuclear power plants and they were left empty-handed. they needed a fuel source and what if they source and would have the go-to, to, cole. coal. >> not clean coal, colin the point being 85% of our energy in the united states comes from the natural gas oil nuclear or a 50% comes from renewable say you're telling me somehow we will go from 50% of our energy being produced up to 50% or more. that's insane and again with the green new deal nobody is talking about how we are going to do that? no one has come up with a plan. liz: you are talking about electric cars, right? >> every time is the prius by me want to reinvent -- remind them 30% of energy that powers or electrical comes from coal. we have to actually be responsible about how we are doing it. i'm all for being good stewards of the world we have been given. also we should be good stewards of the economy and people's livelihoods and be realistic.

especially when you look at the green new deal, 100% unrealistic the greatest of the green new deal is socialism and the only way is through massive government course of socialism. liz: the critics have been saying you can't control your web site so how are you going to control the environment? ned ryun love to see you. thanks for coming in. next up whether one of the first things the democrats in the run-up to president trump declaring it national emergency? they turned it into a fund-raising pitch. that story is up next. ore to lo. ore to lo. because my body can still make its own insulin. and i take trulicity once a week to activate my body to release it, like it's supposed to. trulicity is not insulin. it starts acting in my body from the first dose

and continues to work when i need it, 24/7. trulicity is an injection to improve blood sugar in adults with type 2 diabetes when used with diet and exercise. don't use it as the first medicine to treat diabetes, or if you have type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. don't take trulicity if you or your family .. sulfonylurea or insulin increases your low blood sugar risk. common side effects include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal pain, and decreased appetite. these can lead to dehydration, which may worsen kidney problems. i choose once-weekly trulicity to activate my within. if you need help lowering your a1c, ask your doctor about once-weekly trulicity.

liz liz: republicans saying democrats are trying to take advantage of president trump's emergency declaration.

deneen borelli, great to see you. here is a mass email from tom perez. what are your thoughts? >> not surprising democrats will exploit the crisis open our border. they totally politicized this crisis. years ago you had democrats who voted for the border wall. now you have democrat senators like kirsten gillibrand from new york saying she has no problem removing parts of the wall. this has been politicized. but what it comes down to is the safety and security all our citizens. liz: the democrats are saying this is not a crisis and the declaration of emergency is a political stunt. what's your take on that? >> you mad chuck schumer and

back on president trump. the angel moms approached jim acosta and showed them the photos of their children who were killed by people who shouldn't have been here. it would help to look in the eyes of the family members who lost loved ones. liz: is this a wake-up call? >> i do believe it is. if you look at the u.s. border protection website. there are a number of stats and figures that talk about the seriousness of what's going on on the border. they would know. they are the ones who are closest there to see what's going on. you can also talk to the citizens on the u.s. border and what's going on in their own backyard. liz: deneen borelli, thank you for coming in. and thank you for having us in

[♪] lou: good evening. president trump today making history as he signed the executive order declaring a national emergency to secure our southern border. to stop the mexican cartels from smuggling tens of billions of dollars of deadly drugs across that border and to stop as well their sex trafficking and smuggling of hundreds of thousands of illegal immigrants. these groups meeting their match in the president. today's national emergency declaration is a clear indication he means to fix the border. president trump: today i'm announcing several critical actions my
