3:08 pm
stocks. we remind you, though, to ignore the media hysteria that will cost you money. remember recently how the his area over the government shutdown caused stocks to tank? watch. >> the shutdown is beginning its 26th day with no negotiations planned toned it. a white house analysis shows the shut down is hurting the economic growth as twice the rate previously calculated. it's look like a serious economic crisis. not having that money in circulation it could push the country into a recession? liz: it turns out all of them were wrong. there was talk that retail would be awful.
3:09 pm

3:10 pm
been covering what the facts are. is attacking the economy the only option against anyone running against trump in 2020? >> against president trump they will attack a lot of things. the numbers aren't showing that it's as bad as they are saying. it's a lot of doom and gloom. liz: we'll dig deeper into this later in the show. but as dan henninger says it's an undeniable reality the voters see, that's job growth. >> the unemployment is the lowest. it's incredible. liz: when you hear about the democrats in disarray and you stack that with the results of this administration, we are not pro or against trump. we are just reporting the facts. ernie, what the democrats are talking about now are higher tax
3:11 pm
rates. they are talking about socialist policies like medicare for all, and things of that nature. the down the rabbit hole of socialism. >> there are two big cams happening right now. you will have the democrats who will do anything to get back into power. and president trump with the numbers that look spectacular. let's go back to that voting on the house resolution on anti-semitism. all 23 nos came from republicans. chad pergram joins us to say why. >> liz cheney is the chair of the house republican conference. she was one of the 23 nos and the on the member of leadership to vote no. for the democratic leadership to kowtow to the radical themes and
3:12 pm
refuse language. it's a tad sad day for the house and the democrats' lack of action is responsible for bringing us to thawnt fortunate moment. the republicans who voted no said the resolution did not go directly at ilhan omar. the democrats did not specifically want to mention her. karen bass, the chair of the congressional black caucus was opposed to mentioning omar by name. some told me it could be a security concern for omar who is muslim. that is a lot of the reason the republicans voted no, one because they say the was watered down in was one present vote
3:13 pm
from republican steve king of iowa. you might remember the house of representatives directed a resolution at him back in january after his comments about race. a very interesting vote in the house of representatives. i said what if it happens again? she said it won't. that's what she said a couple months ago. there was a similar resolution. this is the second problem they have had with ilhan omar. liz: stocks selling off after the central bankers in europe slashed their forecast for economic growth this year. let's get to gerri willis at the big board. >> a tough one for your 401k. and why? the ecd cutting its growth rate for the e.u. to 1.7%.

3:15 pm

liz: going nowhere, getting nothing done. hopelessley divide. they were supposed to vote on a no-brainer. a resolution condemning a pattern of anti-semitism. but they couldn't agree on the wording. that had nancy pelosi walk out of her caucus for not listening to her. how can the nation trust them as they try to take the nation down a rabbit hole of socialism like
3:20 pm
the green new deal and medicare for all. >> i told a friend last fall, liz, when the democrats took the majority back is the silver lining is you can't hide the crazy when you are in the majority. but they are taking it to a new level. you have got a frankenstein party. the green new deal and free college. that's $135 trillion. now you have the situation with representative omar and the anti-semitic comments. it's amazing they atlantic ability to condemn the anti-semitic comments. there has been a movement inside the party attacking the nation of israel and trying to undermine it it's a militant
3:21 pm
anti-semitic movement. when you have those things taking place inside the democratic party, the reason she cannot condemn it -- liz: that's leadership. anti-semitism, condemn it. white supremacy, condiment. full stop. there is no semblance, no watering it down. full stop. >> this is the sad part. we have gone from never again to we have seen comments that, it's not that bad. the thing that's scary to me as a student of history when you look at what was taking place in germany in the 1930s. the reason hitler succeed is he got the polite middle class to threat anti-semitism go mainstream. you crush it and say you will
3:22 pm
never accept it. this is staggering to me. liz: i want to get so much out of you. i love talking to you. dan henninger says the hottest job market in half a century. we have high school jobless rates at 5%. they are talking about identity politics when the nation is firing at record lows. are the democrats taking their eye off the prize? >> there are 7 million job openings in the private sector. the economic policies, they are color blind, gender blind. it doesn't matter. rising tide lifts all ships. the thing that's important to most of of the american voters, it's pocketbook issues. do i have a job, can i put food
3:23 pm
on my table. they can talk about identity politics, crazy socialism, anti-semitism. at the end of the day the american people understand what donald trump is doing, he's trying to get them more jobs, better pay, higher wages. all of these things. that's what 2020 is all about. li the liberal republicans who say, we feel -- we don't like what donald trump has said in tweets. we are uncomfortable with donald trump. he's hard to take. what are the democrats doing? we are not going to go or there, they are talking about higher tax rates, guaranteed jobs, free healthcare. this is what they are going to take to the voters? really? >> the american people see through this. they are look at the substance versus the style. donald trump has a lot of
3:24 pm
substance. i know some people struggle with his style. most of of the american people have no problems with the style and they love the substance. again, where we are headed, i have a hard time believing any democratic candidate is not going to get blown away by donald trump when the american people take stock of everything offered by his policies and agenda versus what they have to offer. soul-crushing socialism and these other crazy ideas from the far left. liz: we are tracking several other stories for you tonight. american airlines took 14 airplanes out of service, why? problems with the overhead bins. an electric cable improperly installed. american says the issue is not a safety risk. an apology to a senate committee

reporter: this is the first time this presidential cycle that a democratic candidate visiting iowa has needed something bigger than the size of a high school gym or coffee shop. bernie sanders rented out a convention center. the doors upopenned. hundreds of people are streaming in. they said they are from all over the midwest. they are not necessarily democratic socialists. but for many of them they got into the process because they were interested in bernie sanders four years ago. he has the democratic socialist label. not everybody here shares it. the "new york times" report says biden visors are ready to set up a campaign hq.

there is a possibility that his family members will wind up on front pages again. >> the primary will be difficult. a primary against president trump, i don't think he'll stop at anything. reporter: sherrod brown says i will keep calling out donald trump and his phoney populism. and i will do everything i can to elect a democratic president and democratic senate in 2020. right now the real clear politics average of polls shows bernie has almost 20%. it's historically diverse field with more democratic women running than ever before. the "new york times" had a headline saying in 202. >> , democrats expect a female

frontrunner. but right now they are two white then their late 70s. liz: bernie sanders is public about his socialism but secret about his finances. he's routinely late with his financial disclosure forms with the senate. his secretive tax returns. he refuses to disclose them. and he's been accused for using a black box operation for his campaign advertising on television and radio. hans, great to have you on. let's break this down. bernie sanders in the past has used an llc, in the suburb of virginia, called old towne media. it bought $82 million for ad
3:34 pm
time. no website. no phone. just a single flame home. it's been called a front company. these are black box shell companies. what's your take on that? >> it's ironic. brrs has been a big proponent of campaign finance reform. he always says there needs to be more transparency and disclose our. but there is no disclosure about this company i think in the last campaign bought $82 million worth of ads for him. nobody knows who this company is, who their employees are or anything else. that's not quite in accord with the transparency he keeps pushing on everyone else. liz: this could link back to why bernie sanders still refuses to release his tax returns. reports indicate the people behind this black box llc are friends and former associates of
3:35 pm
his wife jane. and she was getting tins of thousands -- tens of thousands of dollars on those ad buys. those commissions could be on the tax returns. what do you think? >> we don't know the answer to that. if he published the returns, then very easily he could put these rumors to rest. i guess you have to wonder, why isn't he doing that. liz: there have been a lot of questions about jane sanders. she was president of burlington college in vermont. it went bankrupt. she is accused of misleading a bank to get a loan, she put a lot of debt on it. >> there were never any federal charges filed against her. but there are a lot of allegations of nepotism.

3:43 pm
about this. but you have got to get the american people to pay attention. liz: ginger general -- jerry bos on our show. he says nicolas maduro is a marxist dictator. marco rubio has been talking about this. he's trying to shut out the truth of what's going on in his marxist dictatorship. >> whether he's a white cat or black cat, he doesn't know how to administer the government and he's a corrupt dictator. liz: thanks for coming on the show. we appreciate seeing you. tomorrow juan guaido joins trish regan in his first interview

[♪] liz: okay, the administration has been warning about the border for some time. we'll hit that story. we do want to take to you a separate story. we are talking north korea. it's showing the world how easy it is to ramp up its nukes. satellite images shows north korea has a missile launch site ready to go. president trump said he would be very disappointed if those reports were true.
3:49 pm
joining us natalie, what do these images show? how big is the threat? >> the speed with which it has gotten its rocket launch a felt back up and running dem strats any steps north korea took between the singapore and hanoi summit last week were purely cosmetic steps. this is extremely concerning. it went from a facility that was largely unusable to now very usable. it is able to surpass their speed capability and it can be used to refine its missile testing in the future. liz: is there a political message here? >> many are concerned this demonstrates north korea was continuing to shore up its weapons capabilities, maybe even
3:50 pm
improving them in some way. and a lot are reading into it since this is coming so close on the heels after the hanoi summit. if you look at satellite imagery it looks like north korea was work on getting the facility back up to speed even long before the hanoi summit. this to me calls into question kim jong-un's sincerity. liz: the united nations says 11 million north koreans are undernourished and starving. a lack of clean water, access to healthcare, and bad food. they have incurable diseases. >> the u.n. is reporting crop production is down by 9%. but no natural crisis or humanitarian disaster poses as great of a threat to the north
3:51 pm
korean people as kim jong-un and the north korean regime pose. he's diverted funds to his missile program. it's clear the regime could feed their people but they choose not to. the kim regime is a brutal regime that cares nothing for its people. we have to hold them to account for that. liz: thank you so much for coming on. just ahead. the trump administration continues to warn that the crush of illegal immigrants is skyrocketing and it will only get worse. but not everybody believes that. that story is next. in a multitude of countries, where we get to know the people that drive a company's growth

3:56 pm
rex welcome back. while the numbers are staggering, illegal border crossings could hit 100,000 this month alone. we are on track to surpass obama era levels for this year. what's more, homeland security secretary kirstjen nielsen warned lawmakers as it is a crisis, it's really will get a lot worse. possibly a million could be hitting the borders this year. let's bring california congressman, great to have you on the show, sir. >> good to be on. >> first of all before we do anything, i want your take on how not everybody is willing to recognize that this is a crisis. watch. >> all of this, this whole mess, is manufactured. a manufactured crisis. a non-crisis at the board that is really not fooling anybody. >> this is a manufactured crisis. holding the american people
3:57 pm
hostage. >> the new york times and "washington post" in the past two days said it is a crisis. your take?>> these leftist democrats are not stupid and they are not blind. they know exactly what is going on. it's pretty clear to me that they want open borders. they view an uneducated, impoverished and dependent population of migrants entering the united states, susceptible to every socialist promise they make and something that matches their political end. i'm sure that's what's going on. they know the numbers and they know exactly the magnitude. >> we are humanitarian country. we do want to take care of people but that is the tension
3:58 pm
point. we have to have borders. right? >> exactly. it makes a mockery of asylum laws. asylum is reserved for those singled out by persecution by their own government because they do not belong to a specific group. there are seven and a half billion people on the planet. most live in countries that are violent and impoverished. that does not entitle every person in them to come to our country. our borders protect what is unique about our nation. all of the founding principles produced our prosperity. that makes this a very attractive place for people around the world to come. the paradox is this. unless you control the borders, you end up losing all of the unique principles that produce the prosperity that make our country attractive in the first place. countries that cannot or will not enforce the border not around long. >> congressman, california is one of 16 states protecting the part of the money for things like the national guard. more than $6 billion combined. do you agree with this lawsuit? >> absolutely not, it's absolutelyridiculous. we spend enormous amounts of money securing the borders of pakistan , afghanistan, egypt,
3:59 pm
lebanon. but the same leftists are not willing to spend money to defend their own border. i think there is a reason for it. they don't want our own border defendant. >> what you think about the vote next week and how it will turn on the president's emergency declaration? >> i cannot read minds and i cannot tell fortunes. i firmly believe the president is absolutely within his legal authority. to declare an emergency. we have got if -- emergencies that were declared. -- not to make a plan but it trumps those crises. >> they say that they can resist this every six months. can we see the democrats or the republicans on the fence revisiting this every six months. >> the president will be there to veto it and as long as it happens we will be able to
4:00 pm
proceed with construction. >> it could go to the supreme court the. great to see you congressman, come back soon. thank you for joining us, we appreciate it. thank you for watching, lou dobbs is next right here on the fox business network. >> good evening everybody. the radical dimms may have which they never won control of the house of revenues. from when nancy pelosi got the gavel there been an outright disarray. descending ever deeper into the pit of hate and anger. they have unleashed venomous attacks against fellow americans and america itself. the left has it seems to become increasingly vituperative as a escalate attacks against the president, republicans and
