keep a contracd keep socrates i. president trump: taxpayer dollars should not subsidize anti-first amendment institutions. that's exactly what they are. anti-first amendment. universities that want taxpayer dollars should promote free speech. we'll not stand idly by and allow public institutions to violate their students' constitutional rights. if college or university does not allow you to speak, we'll not give them money. liz: finally a leader trying to bring common sense to out of control * colleges who operate on our nickel.

if you want taxpayer dollars, you need to start protecting free speech. conservatives and even liberals complain about campus hostility. trump pushing hard on his plan to cap skyrocketing college tuition. you will not believe which college is still even now raising its tuition even after its big involvement in the worst college admissions cheating scandal in u.s. history. it's a clear example of colleges who have no shame as they gouge you and your family. the president asproofg disaster declaration for a state now in a world of pain. it's nebraska, hit hard by historic flooding. large soaks of the midwest look like an ocean. and experts warn it will get worse for american farmers.

bankruptcies there are growing rapidly. we bring you live to the scene. critics say democrats are trying to seize power with policies to fix the country, they are really focusing hard on trying to rig the rules. even overturning the constitution. one top democrat said part of what you want and what you have in mind is bone headed. you won't believe who said that. homeland security secretary kirstjen nielsen touring the border. a dire warning. the immigration court system on the brink of collapse. the borders are so overwhelmed, the bored patrol is literally catching and releasing by the hour. we bring you "the evening edit."

i'm elizabeth macdonald. welcome to the show. you are watching the fox business network. let's get to blake berman on president trump's executive order on free speech at colleges. reporter: if you curtail free speech you could be stripped of federal funds. the order signed thursday says if con voices are silenced grant money could be taken away. president trump: even as universities have received billions and billions of dollars from taxpayers. many have become increasingly hostile to free speech and the first amendment. reporter: it also tries to tackle outstanding student loans. it calls for the treasury to

publish data on student debt. and how the risk involving those loans might be better shared. liz: president trump's executive order comes days after he criticized facebook and google for censoring their speech and being quote on the side of the radical left democrats. chandler, you were with the president at the white house today. can you tell me what happened? >> thank you, liz. first i want to thank president trump for issuing this executive order. finally we have a president who is willing to take a stand responsible free speech. it' the bedrock of american society and civil society in america. on college campuses we see conservative students in particular, but on all students, their speech is shut down,

censored, and that's not fair. this executive order will benefit millions much students across the country, not just conservatives. liz: it comes on the heels of that conservative getting punched in the face. also antifa was having a lot of protests at schools out in california, a lot of rioting on the campus. college university officials were letting them come on wearing masks, even though it's against the law. the white house trying to cap student loans. ed federal taxpayer owns that debt. >> the president wants to tackle the student loan crisis. you are seeing colleges -- it's supposed to be an opportunity to put every one * on a level playing field, to be able to express yourself and share your points of view. with student loans, coupled with

that, we often see students graduating from college and not having those opportunities. they are $50,000, $100,000 in debt after college. president trump's executive order is trying to combat that as well. liz: college tuition has ratcheted up in lock step. it goes from 50 to 60. usc which is implicated in the college bribery scandal is hiking its tuition 3.5% to 75,000 a year. their students will graduate $300,000 in debt. this is out of control. >> not only do we have the free speech crisis on campus, but we have this student loan epidemic that's impacting student across the country. it's totally unfair the way

students are often tricked into these student loans, not given all the information. and there is no incentive in place for those issues student loans to lower those rates. the president is trying to address this and we applaud him for that. liz: usc, the school, has not been charged in that college admissions scandal. president trump sat down with members of the business round table. it represents 200 of the nation's biggest companies. >> a meeting between all the top ceos in the country lasting 90 minutes. our cameras were the on ones there when the meeting happened. the president explained how they worked to modernize and rebuild the public infrastructure. president trump talked about how he'll get the usmca ratified in congress and how he'll level the

playing field with china. >> i think we are encouraged we'll get a deal done that will be beneficial. reporter: my sources say here in china -- here in the u.s. and china. lighthizer and steven mnuchin will go to china to meet liu he next week. today the ceos said they talked with the president and it eased some minds. >> it's quite clear he's very positive about the future. there was a lot of optimism in that meeting. reporter: the round table members employed 15 million people combined. the heads of american, apple, jpmorgan, mastercard and more.

the members called on congress to ratify the usmca agreement saying they stand united in support of that trade agreement. liz: the president spoke with our own maria bartiromo saying he does want to work with democrats on infrastructure. maria: is there anything you see you would like to work with the democrats on? president trump: yes, i can work on a lot. the easiest thing is infrastructure. they want it, i want it. i spoke to nancy pelosi by the the other day. we agree on it. i think we even like the type of infrastructure we are talking about. maybe in a certain way more democrat from my standpoint than the republican concept. liz: interesting. be sure to telecast full interview tomorrow morning at

6:00 a.m. eastern time. nike, third quarter earnings coming in, beating wall street forecasts. the company reporting weaker than expected sales in america. let's get an update from gerri willis. gerri: the dow was up 220 points. the nasdaq up 111. all three major indexes up 1%. technology very strong. people keep reconsidering those fed comments about the economy. now they are thinking the u.s. is powering global growth. levi, that stock up 2%. min i shaling today at 22.52. most of of the money going to the family of the founder levi

strauss. everybody on the floor, traders on the floor wore jeans. it was a lot of fun and a successful ipo. the ipo drought is over. liz: survivors say the midwest looks like an ocean. catastrophic floods, high winds, melting snow is getting worse. the senate plans to call boeing on the carpet as new questions announced over the two air plane crashes that killed 350 people. why did airlines have to pay extra to boeing for certain safety features? that's coming up.

liz: welcome back to the devastation in the midwest. president trump approving a disaster declaration for the state of nebraska after last week's brutal bomb cyclone unleashed massive flooding that devastated the state. you are looking at satellite images from space. that should give you an idea huh bad the situation is. parts of the midwest literally look like an ocean. tim rent altds warning severe midwest flooding could likely last all spring. reporter: the army corps of engineers say in the missouri river basin 28 levees have failed. icy waters were rising.

rockport, the water pushed 3 to 4 miles into town. >> i don't know if watson will be a town anymore. there were four houses that just happened to be higher than the rest of the town. everybody else has got water. reporter: in freeport, illinois, the river is down 8 inches from the record levels it hit. the chief of police said he would like to let people go them their homes and businesses. but first wants to see if the roads have been undermined. liz: joining me, the head of the nebraska new jersey emergency management company. do we know the coach it? how bad is it? >> this will probably rank as the worst major disaster that

has ever impacted our state. these are roughest mats. we can't verify a lot of the damage because we can't get to it. but we are anticipating between $533 million. you infrastructure and $private losses. liz: you can only see rooftops in some areas. we are talking 88 cities and 24 counties under water. >> we have done aerial assessments. in some areas of the state the river stretches for a distance of 8 miles or more. we have farm fields that are flooded along with farms and their acreages. homes and outbuildings. it has a tremendous impact on

livestock and feeder operations and other facility that help support agriculture. as well as homes, businesses and communities have been impacted. liz: this is america's farmland. it's our kitchen table where we get a lot of our produce from. there are valuable assets in this area. the farmer bankruptcy have been double and tripling over the last several years. >> farmers are face something serious issues right now in terms of ag production. the ag economy has not been what it was in the 2012 time frame. so they are struggling financially. things are difficult for them. when you throw this event in on top of it, the recovery period is, you know, we'll do everything we can to get our

producers back online both in the livestock and crop production. the thing i would note. in nebraska our rural road systems support that market to farm economy. and they have been heavily disrupted. we have bridges that are out. we have state highways that have been impacted as well. so things are beginning to improve. and once we are able to get out there and do the damage assessments we'll try to figure out what needs to be done. >> we are hearing 2 dozen levees have been damaged. hamburg, iowa, they fought for levee repairs and they were ignored. >> all the levee systems in nebraska, every levee or structure on the missouri river

from decatur, nebraska down to our border with missouri, they were overtopped or sustained significant damage. the problem is that also happened with our river systems in nebraska. if we begin to see the typical weather pattern in nebraska where we get a lot of rainfall and severe storms. we could be extreme lire d extry vulnerable. liz: we have other headlines developing. facebook's latest face plant. brian kregg says facebook stored opening its computers user passwords in readable format. he's calculates 600 million

liz: to the latest on boeing. the senate will hold hearings to question boeing officials over the two plane crashes after the fbi started a probe conducted by the justice department and the transportation department. european and canadian regulators are going to do their own reviews to the changes boeing is make after those two crashes.

reporter: the fbi is involved in what appears to be a criminal probe launched by the transportation department in addition to congressional investigation, the first of which will happen next wednesday in the senate. reuters is reporting today the pilot of the eat oap yanl airlines max 8 was never trained in the simulator. he was a col seeing pilot under orders not to speak publicly. but boeing touted the plane as not requiring significant training costs because of its similarity to the other 737 models. previously the manufacturer charged extra for the safety feature that wired the sensors

to the mcas fault control system. one was placed on the lion air planet day before it crashed. it was bad data from that sensor that doomed the plane. the defense department says it's launching an investigation that acting defense secretary patrick shanahan improperly promoted its former employer to purchase wowing models over lockheed models. liz: the two airplanes didn't have those two safety features. boeing charged extra for them. the standard airplanes did not

come with the tangle of attack indicator or light that flags wrong readings. let's dig into this with former faa supervisor. what's going on here? they seem to be important to fly a plane. >> angle of attack will give a pilot the indication whether the nose of the plane is pointed up or pointed down. but if the crew of is not in the clouds you can pretty much get an independent casings that anyway. and the accidents that happened in indonesia we believe they were in the clear. it's an option. though i talked to people at southwest and american, ban all the operators i could find in the u.s. put that indicator in a

their aircraft, and southwest already installed those lights to give the crew some advance warning that the two sensors are not working together. liz: why doesn't the faa mandate them? they are not mandated by the faa. now boeing says they will add the indicator lights to new and existing planes. but they will cost extra. should boeing have included these safety features to begin with? >> i think it's easy to say that boeing should have included them. but this whole situation as we watched in the last 10 days just keeps expanding. and we are finding dark corners of the investigation and certification that no one ever thought we would have to be talking about. you might be right that they should have included it. and we don't know there is not

something else that night pop in the next week or so. liz: did you see this, that ralph nader's great niece. his niece's daughter, died in the ethiopian airlines crash. >> i did. >> a terrible story. >> it is. multiply ralph nader by however many states we reported here, close to 400, and people are saying why? we just don't know. if you go back to what the pilot said when we first heard about this after the indonesian crash. people would say the mgac software, pilots were saying ways that? we don't even know what it is. liz: ralph nairder told fox

business, mark my words, boeing will pay. up next, the fallout is continuing and increasing. a growing number of democrats say they are open -- they want to change the rules. doing things like packing the supreme court. wait until you hear which top democrat slammed that idea as bone-headed. -driverless cars... -all ground personnel... ...or trips to mars. $4.95. delivery drones or the latest phones. $4.95. no matter what you trade, at fidelity it's just $4.95 per online u.s. equity trade. no matter what you trade, at fidelity if ywhen you brush or floss, you don't have to choose between healthy gums and strong teeth. complete protection from parodontax has 8 designed benefits for healthy gums and strong teeth. complete protection from parodontax.

liz: austria's chancellor says the european union has couple with a way to prevent a no deal brexit where the u.k. crashes out of the european union. that could come next week. many are assumes the crash positions in the currency market and elsewhere. critics say the democrats lack of policy ideas in 2020 is so

bad they are moving to simply rig the system. democrat senator and presidential hopeful kamala harris says she, too, is open to getting rid of the electoral college. >> senator warn said we thinks we should do away with the electoral college. do you agree with that? >> i'm open to the discussion. there is no question that the popular vote has been diminished in terms of making the final decision about who is the president of the united states. and we need to deal with that. so i'm open to the discussion. liz: let's bring in john cox. is this all they have got? democrats want to claingt rule instead of -- change the rule instead of talking about policy discussions that will change the

country? >> this whole discussion points up how little these presidential candidates have thought about the issues. i think their pushing for getting rid of the electoral college should be disqualifying. the founders created the system because they want a majority, not oppressed minority in this country. we have 4500,000 precincts, liz. if we went to a national vote you could have a recount in every single precinct in america. can you imagine the lawyers needed for that? the founders did this system so we wouldn't have a system like this, and they maid sure the majority wouldn't oppress the

minority. liz: we have only had four elections where the electoral college vote was in conflict with the popular vote. and as you say it's supposed to diminish concentration of power. what do you think of the democrats now coming up with not just one, but all these different ideas to rig the system? >> they are all trying to distract from the real issues. the real issues are keeping the economy going. making sure we can have an affordable life for people in this country. we want to make sure we address infrastructure. our deficit. we are sitting here with a $22 trillion debt. none of these candidates are talking about how they will prevent our children and grandchildren from having to pay this incredible burden.

liz: democrats pointed out that back in 201, president trump during the debate said he would not accept the results of the election. he was talking about the millions wrongfully registered to vote. and he claimed hillary clinton should be charged in the crimes for the email scandal. but watch how hard she fought for the like early to college but after she lost she wanted to get rid of it. >> that's not the way our democracy works. we have been around for 240 years. we had free and fair elections. we accepted the outcomes when we may not have liked them. he's denigrating and talking down our democracy and i am appalled somebody who is the nominee of one of our two major parties would take that kind of position. liz: within a move losing hillary clinton wanted to get rid of the electoral college.

democrat joe biden said it's bone-headed to try to pack the supreme court. that's what kirsten gillibrand and other democrats are talking about now. your take on that. >> you are shocking me here. you are telling me politicians change their position and flip-flop and do hypocrital things? let's face it. we need better leadership. liz: john cox ran for governor in california. come back soon. do you remember when hillary clinton said half of trump supporters are a quote basket of deplorables? it looks like joe biden is having his hillary moment. border patrol agents are forced to release hundreds of immigrants from jeff crowded

detention centers, catch and release by the hour. that's happening. stay there.

the european union will be offering the united kingdom a choice of a short brexit delay. if the mps approve the deal negotiated next week. a lot of pushback against joe biden for having what they say is his own hillary clinton moment. remember when presidential candidate clinton said this? >> to just be grocery generalistic, you could put half of trump supporters into what i call the basket of deplorables. right? the racist, sexist, homophobic, xenophobic, islamophobic. you name it.

unfortunately there are people like that. and he has lifted them up. liz: election analysts say that possibly hurt hillary clinton during the 2016 election. watch joe biden. >> there is a small percentage of the american people, virulent people, some of them the dregs of society. liz: joining me now is ned ryun. >> if they are saying this in public, what are they saying in private. they are trying to delegitimize tens of millions of people. i know a lot of trump supporters, i am one of them. many of them are highly educated, they are not

xenophobic or islamophobic or racist. you know, the thing that's troubling to me about all of this red rick. there are a lot of people on the left who look at me and my views and consider them illegitimate. if my views are illegitimate with me, because to have a conversation with me would be to legitimize my views. the problem in using this rhetoric and what social media is doing in trying to silence conservative voices. if we can't consider other people with opposing ideas to be legitimate, that's not good for our country going forward. liz: axios is reporting joe

biden will name a vice president out of the gate when he announces. possibly the georgia governor candidate, stacey abrams. what's going on here? this will be his third run at the presidency. what's your take? >> this is run number three, and the first two have been very underwhelming to say the least. somebody making an announcement like this is signaling he doesn't think on his own merits he can win the nomination. i know a lot of people think he could be a legitimate candidate for trump. but i don't see him making it through the primaries. this is not the democratic party of 25 years ago. this is a very progressive party. the primary will be dominated by

far left grassroots and far left small donors. liz: is president trump stepping on his own messages with disparaging messages and tweets. >> with this whole mccain situation, politicians that one on something then go against their pledge voting against the repeal of obamacare, that's not good. but he should focus on the fact that mccain was peddling the fake dossier. we understand where he's coming from. say your piece and move on and focus on the bigger policy issues. because on the policy issues he can win. liz: kirstjen nielsen talks to local sheriffs on the border. that's coming up. anna, do you have those plans? yes! i just wanted to show you something i've been wor...
