smaller government. this is why we don't want the government to be in charge of things because they can't get anything done, so don't give them things to do. david: carol it's a great last word thank you very much that does it for bulls & bears thank you for watching we'll see you back here next time. liz: president trump saying the media's anonymous quotes and their stories that they've got it wrong again, he says he in fact is not looking to separate children from their families at the border, and the president is saying he's not doing it for homeland security and again the president points out what we've been reporting all along. it's his biggest obstacle we'll explain coming up tonight we also have the former israeli ambassador, today's israeli elections too close to call right now and we have a new debate breaking out in america. did president trump change the focus of homeland security away from terrorism to be all about the border and immigration versus fighting terror? or is this just another non- debate drugged up by media

speculation? we're on it. to the invasive killer super fungus we told you about last night, turns out this problem is worse than you may realize, tonight, we show you how the government teams you in the dark about outbreaks like this by design they do that, we're going to break it wide open for you. to the fireworks at multiple hearings today on capitol hill, we bring you the highlights of high profile testimony featuring everybody from the treasury secretary to the attorney general to facebook and to google executives that's coming up to the biggest fight to the democrats lost at the mueller probe level now they're hammer ing the treasury secretary and the irs commissioner to break into president trump's private tax returns from before he was elected to office. there is no constitutional mechanism that lets them do that this should have all americans up in arms that's what privacy experts are now saying. they're talking about harassing a sitting president is not a legislative purpose to see his

returns. that's spelled out by the supreme court, and watchdogs are all over this one. tonight the democrats new plan though for a new back door to get trump's taxes, and why that could fail too. again the experts are saying this is the kind of government overreach that causes politicians to lose elections. plus, bernie feels his own burn now trying to rewrite his own personal history trying to appeal to mainstream america by whipping fast balls by voters and bernie now saying he never supported soviet-style communism when in fact he did that and we have the evidence showing that and tonight finally after months of promising sanders claims he will release on monday, ten years worth of tax returns, likely is going to show how bernie sanders became a millionaire off capitalism, i'm elizabeth macdonald, the evening edit starts right now.

let's get right to blake burman at the white house with the latest on the border battle, blake. reporter: president trump pushing back on the reports that he wants to reinstitute the zero tolerance policy that led to families being separated at the southern border. the president instead pushed blame on his predecessor. the comments coming during a meeting with the egyption president in the oval office. president trump: we're not looking to do that though. thank you very much. but it does make it it brings a lot more people to the border when you don't do it, it brings a lot more people to the border. we are not looking to do it but president obama had the law, we changed the law. reporter: according to a senior administration official there is big frustration within the white house as to how credible fear is being granted by u.s. customs and immigration. that official saying that 90% of central americans are put on track for asylum by the interviewers at us cis. that official would not weigh in on the job status of the customs and immigrations director lee si

ssa leaving open the possibility that more changes could be coming within the department of homeland security. liz: thank you, blake burman in washington. this just in breaking news the white house says it will appeal the court injunction on asylum cases, thank you, blake burman, again. for reaction let's get to the former israeli ambassador to the united states, and first, danny, your reaction to today's israeli elections is too close to call, and both benjamin netanyahu and benny gantz are declaring victory. >> yes, liz and probably they're both right. we see yet again another cycle of elections in israel which is really a celebration of democracy. i don't know if any democracy which is more vibrant and more really pleuralistic, and like a true pleuralistic society we almost have a tie, and it is true that the largest part at this point may be general gantz the main opponent of prime

minister netanyahu but still netanyahu holds the larger block , and this is what counts. whoever gets a more members to vote for him, he will be the next prime minister and it seems like it it is to lose. liz: there's a debate, a separate case, a debate brewing in american media right now about how the president trump is refocusing homeland security away from terrorism towards immigration and the border. let's listen to this. >> and that is the great irony of course, jane, that donald trump, who campaigned claiming that he was such a fierce opponent of islamic radicalism is out now actually turned this department away from its core mission and it is now a department that's new goal is to chase shadows along the southern border. liz: what's your take on that? i mean israel certainly has had to deal with both of these

issues what's your take? >> well my take is very very simple. every sovreign, every homeowner has the right to invite to his home whoever he would like, and certainly no legal or strangers can come in. they would break the law and this is the case of the illegal immigration in the united states , and the same as in israel. we've had thousands of illegal immigrants coming from africa until guess what? we build a wall on our southern border and since then, we have no illegal immigration so i think this is within the right of the american government and i think that it's to the benefit of the american people. liz: you know, one texas border patrol chief warned that it is not just people from central america trying to illegally cross our southern border. he testified and told senators that they're coming in from china, from bangladesh, turkey, egypt and romania. here is what he said.

"people are traveling across hemispheres from around the world to illegally enter the united states using the same pathways as central americans" what's your reaction to that ambassador? >> i wouldn't be a bit surprised, liz. we live today in a global world, global economy, but also a global network of transportation so it's very easy to get from one place to another, either by sea or by air, or even by land, and certainly, there are some countries mostly not democratic governments that do not care for their citizens, and they are looking for a better world and a better future for them and their people and their children, so they are trying to get to these countries like israel in the united states but still no government can allow such a chaotic situation and i think there should be more pressure, if i, you know, had anyway to

suggest to the american government is to put much more pressure on the government of latin america and other countries from whom there are this infiltrate ors or attempt to come to the united states. liz: final point, ambassador. the u.s. officials have repeatedly said the u.s. has stopped terrorism from coming into this country via airports, via air, land, and sea. so this really is about border security, right? >> absolutely and this is only one aspect. of course you have to sure up the protection, the defense, and that goes with walls or fences and other electronic equipment, but also you have to take the war into the enemy territory which is isis, al qaeda, iranian hezbollah, hamas and most organizations trying really to take on us and destroy our way of life.

liz: ambassador through so much for coming in sir, appreciate it okay let's get to this story. facebook and google executives got grilled in washington today on how they plan to stop the spread of hate speech and more on their sites. hillary vaughn is on capitol hill, with the highlights, hillary? reporter: hey liz well both executives from facebook and google admitting today that tackling hate speech online really is a tricky issue to navigate for them because they are trying to protect their user 's right to free speech while also protecting their user s from hate speech, but at the end of the day, they can't take down comments just because something offends one user. they also have an issue because hate speech in one country may not be hate speech in a different part of the world. >> content can fit in the grey area that comes right up against the line. it may be offensive but it does not violate policies against indictment of violence and hate speech. >> it's a constant tension that we wrestle with daily and my teams wrestle with it all the

time. we try to strike that balance. reporter: they are using technology like artificial intelligence to stop hate speech before it goes live, facebook alone has 30,000 people monitor ing content online, making sure they're able to take down anything that violates their policies, but today, google actually got to prove that their policy against hate speech actually works, because the live hearing for today was hosted on youtube sites and the section was disabled because there was hate speech written in the comments so youtube had to take the comment section completely offline, but what we also saw today is a big disagreement between republicans and democrats over who is to blame for this ramped up rhetoric that is encouraging people to throw hate speech to the other side. >> i worry that the true motivation for this hearing is to suggest that republicans are hateful and dishonest. >> the hearing today is not

about white nationalism or hate crimes, but about fear mongering , power and control. it's a preview of the democrat 2020 election strategy, same as the democrat 2016 election strategy. the goal here is to scare blacks , hispanics, gays and muslims into helping them sensor descenting opinions ultimately to help them regain control. reporter: tech companies are not out of the hot seat. they head to the senate tomorrow for a hearing on sensorship. liz? liz: thank you, hillary vaughn appreciate it. to your money, investor jitters on trade and growth sparking a sell-off today, gerri willis is at the new york stock exchange with the latest. gerri? gerri: with the negative day on the markets today the dow fell 190 points s&p fell 18 and the nasdac was down 45, and behind it all, trade concerns resurfac ing yet again and investors bracing for the start of what likely be a contraction in eps for the first quarter we'll be watching all of that beginning friday and under armour shares also lower today

the stock down after a survey reports show the company is falling behind nike and adidas in customer appreciation they are number five in basketball brands seventh in casual wear and sixth in running this is the second year they have fallen behind nike and adidas so big news for them that stock down, liz back to you. liz: thank you, gerri next up, a deadly invasive superbug fungus is quietly spreading around the world. coming up why governments here keep you in the dark about these outbreaks. we're going to get an expert advice about that next and later on, democrats were loaded trying to break into president trump's tax returns before he got into office. this is a big privacy fight, democrats deadline is tomorrow. big fireworks today. we break that down, coming up. >> not afraid of being fired at all. very good. >> having said that, again i want to be clear. i've said we will follow the law >> okay and i'm veried you're

not afraid of being fired. the matters.ar... introducing the all-new 2019 ford ranger, it's the right gear. with a terrain management system for... this. a bash plate for... that. an electronic locking rear differential for... yeah... this. heading to the supermarket? get any truck. heading out here? get the ford ranger. the only adventure gear built ford tough. 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. fisher investments. clearly better money management. metastatic breast cancer is relentless, but i was relentless first. relentless about learning the first song we ever danced to. about teaching him to put others first. about helping her raise her first child. and when i was first diagnosed, my choice was everyday verzenio. it's the only one of its kind that can be taken every day. it gives us more time without cancer progressing. verzenio is the only cdk4 & 6 inhibitor approved with hormonal therapy that can be taken every day for postmenopausal women with hr+, her2- mbc. diarrhea is common, may be severe, or cause dehydration or infection. before taking verzenio, tell your doctor if you have fever, chills, or other signs of infection. verzenio may cause low white blood cell counts, which may cause serious infection that can lead to death. serious liver problems can occur. symptoms include tiredness, appetite loss, stomach pain, and bleeding or bruising. blood clots that can lead to death have occurred.

tell your doctor if you have pain or swelling in your arms or legs, shortness of breath, chest pain, rapid breathing or heart rate, or if you are pregnant, nursing, or plan to be pregnant. common side effects include nausea, infections, low blood cells and platelets, decreased appetite, headache, abdominal pain, tiredness, vomiting, and hair thinning or loss. my relentless reason: it's them. my choice with my doctor: it's verzenio. ask your doctor if everyday verzenio is right for your first treatment.

liz: another really heated debate on capitol hill at a hearing over high drug prices. five of the nations laurest

pharmacy benefit managers testified, christina partsinevelos has this story for us. >> liz i think we can all agree that drug prices in united states are high. you have the benefit managers in the hot seat today the middle men negotiating directly with the drug manufactures however they do know those negotiations in secret behind closed doors, and the issue of transparency came up in the hearing today, you had senator ben carter bring that up saying that we live in a developed country, america and yet there's still a shortage of drugs and he questioned why these pbms push certain drugs over others. listen in. >> you really determine their financial success and that's why you negotiate your price, but it's more than the unit price of a particular drug that my constituents and your subscriber s are interested in. they are interested in their general health and if they can't get a medicine today to deal with their cancer then that's a real example, why aren't you taking the initiative to change

that? >> none of the pbm's answered at that point but i'd like to highlight how drug prices have been soaring in the past five years alone. if you look at the brand name drugs versus generic drugs on your screen it says 2014 brand name drugs increased liz 60% versus a decrease of 37% which means as americans per capita we spend $1,025 per year versus $60 back in the 1960s and that number adjusted for inflation so legislation still has yet to pass. liz: this is shocking numbers, christina, i can't believe that that's really amazing the trend growth there, growth in trend thank you so much, christina for your reporting there appreciate it. >> no problem. liz: we told you last night about that deadly drug resistance superbug fungus. it prays on people with weakened immune systems and so invasive one hospital in brooklyn literally had to rip out some of the ceiling and the floor tiles to eradicate it. nearly half of patients who

contracted fungus in their bloodstream, they could die within 90 days. now this story coming in, the invasive fungus is quietly spreading around the world and already sickened nearly 600 people across the u.s. in 12 states, including california, texas, florida, most cases detected in new york, new jersey and illinois. this story got a bit scary and here is why. the cdc has contractual agreements with the 50 states and they're not allowed to make public the location or names of hospitals involved in these outbreaks. we dug into the story and we want an expert on this we bring in fox news medical correspondent dr. mark said gal. first why can't we find out about these outbreaks why don't they tell us? >> first of all we need transparency not just in drug prices but transparency in what bugs are killing us especially our immune o compromised -- liz: but what's with these contractual agreements. >> because the centers for disease control making deals with state and local hospitals

and with the health departments, because the state and local health departments are afraid that the hospitals won't pony up the right information if they say they let the public know. why? they think there's public panic, why because they think the public will say that hospital has a superbug. i ain't going there that reputation gets around and on the internet so the deal is made to keep the information secret so that the hospitals won't feel targeted and start to hide this information. liz: well so how do you find out about it then? how do you know it's going to happen? which hospital do you know because you have a data point about what's going on in chicago >> so the health departments know, in chicago some nursing homes 50% of residents have this bug on their skin. and the reason is, by the way, because it lives on respirators and intravenous lines. it can colonize you and not get you sick. liz: it's scary. but it also gets you very sick and 90% of them are resistant to at least one anti-fungal drug. where is it coming from?

probably the over use of anti- fungal drugs. this is a huge problem, improper disinfection of hospitals. liz: understood here is the thing the new york times broke the story too they've been all over it about how state and local hospitals are reluctant to disclose these outbreaks for being here as you point out as being seen as infection hubs. so here is the thing. i just want to move on. in january the cdc, watch this, the cdc did put out an alert on bacteria that got more than a dozen people sick when they went to get elective surgery in tijuana, mexico so they put the cdc put out that alert so how come they don't put out alerts about this super fungus coming in? they put out an alert about that but not about this. >> that's really inconsistent i think we're shedding a spotlight and that has to change because there's a culture of antibiotic overuse. by the way that culture could get worse. cdc would say if we tell everybody everyone is going to over use the antibiotics even more. we don't have enough antibiotics

there's not enough incentives for drug companies to make new anti-fungal drugs so a fungus like this propagates. we can't do anything about it. we don't have -- liz: really? okay. >> but here is what we can do about it. keeping in mind by the way that some hospitals are taking care of very sick patients, elderly patients they may not have a choice but what we can do is dis infect our facilities better. liz: good point. >> so knowing that a hospital has this problem or nursing home disinfect. liz: understood quick take on the measles outbreak happening in brooklyn. there's concerns about what's going on in brooklyn can you tell us? >> i think it's a public health emergency. i think mandatory vaccination in these local areas is correct. we know religious exemption in place here i've read through the statutes in the bible and it doesn't say anything about this. it's propaganda, i think it's right to do mandatory vaccination, why because measles spreads like wildfire and it can kill. liz: you're terrific thank you so much, great information.

we are keeping a close eye on these stories for you as well, tonight we told you about this story that prosecutors were doing this, this is a college admissions cheating scandal. we reported how prosecutors would likely layer on more charges. it's now happened to lori loughlin. the actress is the star of the hit tv show ""fuller house"" and her house, fashion designer were hit with a new indictment on charges of conspiring to commit fraud and money laundering that's layered on top of the other indictments and charges. 14 other parents also caught up in this, in charge in this superseding indictment, moving on to the socialistic collapse in venezuela. it's now full-blown communism there, the dictator murder there desperate for cash. he ordered eight tons of gold removed from the central bank's vault in venezuela, in order to sell the gold for cash. here is what's going on u.s. sanctions have choked off revenue from the oil sector and that economy has plummetted under communism over the last

decade. we are just six days away from the tax deadline, day and now this, congress is pushing a bipartisan bill to stop the irs from offering its own free online tax filing service. you could thank the lobbyist working with h& r block and intu it, the firm behind turbo tax all this amid word that tax refunds down by $6 billion versus last year and look out robots in aisle 6 walmart is rolling out nearly 4,000 robots in a bid to cut labor costs while freeing up its human workers to focus on other duties like customer service. now these robots will do things like clean floors and check inventory on shelves. i want one for my house, if it folds sheets, wouldn't you like a robot that folds your sheets? >> not bad and checks to make sure no infection in there. liz: exactly just ahead on the evening edit here is we'll talk about the blocking of president trump at the border the

president today slamming what he says are bad laws, bad judges and obstructionist deputies for failing to fix the immigration crisis coming up but first we take on bernie sanders, now trying to rewrite his own personal history, in order to appeal to more mainstream american voters. bernie sanders now trying to claim that he never signed up for soviet communism and was not my thing. there's just one little problem. that's not what he said before. we've got the evidence, that's coming up, next.

might mean a trip back to the doctor's office just for a shot. but why go back there when you can stay home with neulasta onpro? strong chemo can put you at risk of serious infection. in a key study neulasta reduced the risk of infection from 17% to 1%, a 94% decrease. neulasta onpro is designed to deliver neulasta the day after chemo and is used by most patients today. neulasta is for certain cancer patients receiving strong chemotherapy. do not take neulasta if you're allergic to it or neupogen (filgrastim). an incomplete dose could increase infection risk. ruptured spleen, sometimes fatal as well as serious lung problems, allergic reactions, kidney injuries and capillary leak syndrome have occurred. report abdominal or shoulder tip pain, trouble breathing or allergic reactions to your doctor right away.

in patients with sickle cell disorders, serious, sometimes fatal crises can occur. the most common side effect is bone and muscle ache. if you'd rather be home, ask your doctor about neulasta onpro. pay no more than $5 per dose with copay card.

liz: bernie sanders is now trying to say he never was for soviet-style communism. he's trying to appeal to mainstream americans including in the rust belt. all right that's coming up in just a second. we've got the guy who democrats say could knock bernie sanders back on his heels in the democrat primaries. he's 2020 candidate, and he grew up in the rust belt in indiana

he was first elected to office in south bend, indiana, in 2011 and factories since the 70s there were getting obliterated out of the distance, jobs were vanishing and buttigieg, he tried to turn it around and was successful in many instances and demolished more than 1,000 abandoned homes attracted hundreds of millions of dollars in private investment for commercial development, he also didn't ridicule and make fun of other americans or take them for granted the way hillary did in 2016. this as bernie sanders, here is what's going on with bernie sanders. he's now trying to claim he never was a soviet-style communist. we're calling it the miss education of bernie we guess now bernie is out with this story, "he likes countries like denmark and sweden and he's saying that that old soviet union, that's not my thing." now he's going to claim, he says , to release 10 years worth of tax returns, showing he's a millionaire of capitalism. let's bring in republican

strategist and civic forum pack chair ford o'connell. your take on bernie here, ford. >> i think he's engaging a little bit of revision as history. we've obviously seen videos of in praising soviet-style red lines and praising the communist leadership of cuba as well as his love affair with maduro, but when he's pushing by the green new deal out of control taxing and spending to denmark and sweden is just a complete and utter falsehood, because that's know the what denmark and sweden did to turnaround their econom ies. liz: let's break break down what ford is giving to you. to ford's point bernie praised soviet-style communism in the mid 80s saying it's funny some time american journalists talk about how bad a country is people lining up for food. that's a good thing, and those countries, that basically the rich are getting the food and the poor people are starving to death basically, bernie is saying the fact they're online is getting food that's a good thing and sanders also said this about cuban dictator fidel

castro: watch. everybody was totally convinced that castro is the worst guy in the world all the cuban people will rise up in rebellion against fidel castro. they forget he educated death care, transformed the society not to say that they are perfect , they're certainly not, but just because ronald regan dislikes these people does not mean to say the people in their own nations feel the same way. liz: well, a lot of people of cuba which feel otherwise, and also the families of people have been shot and killed by castro and his would feel otherwise and a year later, bernie sanders said, "he was very excited and impressed by the cuban revolution, which was communist ." he also said at one point, when he was watching jfk debate mix on, when he went after communism he literally wanted to puke. that's a quote from bernie sanders your take on this? >> well obviously, he has a lot of political baggage and a lot to explain if he wants to get beyond the millennial base of the democratic party, should he

actually be the democratic nominee for president? i just don't think he can shake that path but obviously he's trying to do it by saying really what i'm talking about is more like denmark and sweden, which of course, rings great bells with a lot of voters because they have a very good economy, and a lot of people are very happy but what has made denmark and sweden so successful is exactly the opposite of what bernie sanders is pushing because they're talking about capping spending. they're not talking about a minimum wage they are talking about abolishing the death tax and abolishing the wealth tax. these are not things that bernie sanders is talking about. he's trying to pull a fast one. liz: to your point, sweden, they're saying we're pro-capital ism, we need capital ism to pay for our big welfare states. here is the former prime minister of sweden saying hey, bernie, we're not what you think we are. he's basically saying watch this bernie sanders was lucky to be able to get to the soviet union in 1988, praise all of the achievements before the entire system collapsed under the weight of its own spectacular

failures. to your point, sweden is about reducing government spending. no minimum wage, capping public spending, no inheritance or wealth tax, right, ford? >> well that's exactly right and i don't know how the democrats are getting away with the fact that every time they are talking about pushing socialistic policies, government -directed policies and taxing to obscene levels they get away with saying sweden and denmark when in fact you have a former swedish prime minister saying that's not how we got there in fact when we were doing terribly which was the 90s we had a recession essential we did much of what you were talking about. liz: ford fix this for me tell me if i'm wrong. does raising people's taxes cause other people's incomes to go up and fix income and equality when the government takes more in taxes does that fix somebody else's income? >> no absolutely not . what you need is you need to have the middle class in the game. it does not work. liz: ford o'connell you're terrific come back soon. >> thank you. liz: coming up deputies divided they're split. we have the hard left newcomers fighting the moderate old guard who know how to win, well they have in the past.

this is a fight between alexandria ocasio-cortez and nancy pelosi, it is heating up big time, we've got the details, but first, the mediacoming down hard on the president over his immigration and border policies. trump says there is a crisis, democrats are responsible. that's next. president trump: you have a democrat congress that's obstructing, you talk about obstruction, the greatest obstruction anyones ever seen. ♪ limu emu & doug what do all these people have in common, limu?

president trump: we have the worst laws of any country anywhere in the world. the democrats in congress, what they're doing are the obstruction, they don't want to fix it, and we have to fix it. they want open borders, they want to have millions of people pouring into our country. they don't even want to know who they are. these are people coming into our country, with criminal records, we have murders coming in, we have drug lords coming in, we have gangs coming in and we're stopping them and if we don't stop them i.c.e. is throwing

them the hell out we're getting them out, but our job could be so much easier. liz: that's president trump earlier today, talking about the border crisis, some in the media say trump can't win 2020 on this issue. >> he lost more members of his own party than any republican president since richard nixon was driven from office in water gate, months after water gate. this, let me say it slowly for donald, this is a losing issue. you have your 34, 35% donald. this is a losing issue. liz: but cnn analyst jeffrey tub in says there is a big problem at the border. >> there is this enormous increase in people seeking asylum, and i think, you know, it's a genuine problem. i mean, this is not something that donald trump invented and i don't think just because trump

is acting irrationally doesn't mean he's not dealing with a real problem here. it is a real problem. liz: let's bring in national border patrol counsel president brandon judge. what's your take on what you just heard? >> well first off we do have a national emergency that's taking place, as far as whether this issue is a winner i'm going to go back to 2016 and he within on this issue in 2016, he can win on this issue again in 2020. the american public has repeatedly said they want secure borders, they do not want unfettered illegal immigration, and that's exactly what he's trying to give us, that's what the american public has spoken on that's what they want. liz: brandon there's a lot of media coverage about the so-called purge on homeland security, trump and his side of the aisle is saying he needs to get rid of people who have been there, who are now fixing the problem. what's your take on what's going on? >> so if you look at it secretary nielsen was extremely good at cybersecurity. there were some things she is second to none and she's going to have a great career in

cybersecurity. she was not an expert on border security and that's the focus of dhs. it needs to be their focus so there needed to be a change. it had nothing to do with she's not a good person or a good leader. it had everything to do with this is the issue that we're faced with right now. we needed to make a change. liz: brandon isn't it true that if we fix the laws if congress fixed the laws, we would not need such gigantic walls in a mill tarrized border right? >> if congress fixed the laws there would be a lot of things we would be able to do but because congress isn't going to fix those laws the administration is looking within the authorities that they currently have to address the issue, and that's why you're see ing that's where you're see ing talks about walls and see ing talks about the migrant protection protocols and talking about seeing talks of doing the asylum hearings earlier, quicker , and it allows us the flexibility to potentially get this issue under control under the authorities we currently

have. congress is not going to act. liz: the question is also where is, what's the democrat policy, we have senator kamala harris saying we need to give more money to central america, other analysts say no, those are corrupt governments that are law less, stealing money and not developing their economies they're triggering the migrant flow. what's your take on it? >> all you have to do is look at the money we're currently giving these countries the northern triangle countries, honduras, guatemala, el salvador we give them millions upon millions every year and that goes directly into the corrupt politicians pockets we should not be giving them more money so they can enrich themselves. they need to become self- sufficient on their own, we have to take care of our southwest border and let them worry about their issues. liz: brandon judd, thank you so much for joining us appreciate it. >> thank you. liz: coming up the democrats and the mainstream media finally admitting what we've been telling you for some time. that all "the talk" about trump 's border policies and the pushback on that, the democrats

are getting more and more worried about a second trump term that coming up, plus the fight for trump's tax returns is getting nastier by the way, maxine waters launched a new full attack against steve mnuchin saying are you afraid of getting fired? but there's a big constitutional privacy issue at stake here that could hit all americans. stay with us, we debate that, next. >> if this is the way you want to treat me then i'll rethink whether i voluntarily come back here to testify which i've offer ed to do. in the transportation industry without knowing firsthandness the unique challenges in that sector? coming out here, seeing the infrastructure firsthand, we can make better informed investment decisions. that's why i go beyond the numbers. when it comes to 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 known 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, genital yeast or urinary tract infections, and sudden kidney problems. ketoacidosis is a serious side effect that may be fatal. a rare, but life-threatening, bacterial infection in the skin of the perineum could occur. stop taking jardiance and call your doctor right away if you have symptoms of this bacterial infection, ketoacidosis, or an allergic reaction. do not take jardiance if you are on dialysis or have severe kidney problems. taking jardiance with a sulfonylurea or insulin may cause low blood sugar. so, what do you think? now i feel i can do more to go beyond lowering a1c. ask your doctor about jardiance today.

liz: the trend is here, democrat s are worried about trump getting re-elected and even cnn david gergen is now saying that, watch. despite these out rages about the border his prospects for winning re-election appear to be improving and as you sort through the democratic candidates and the challengers you look for who can be standing up there on the stage, who is as tough as he is. it's not so clear that his opponents are up to this, and it's also clear that if he has the economy he thinks he's going to have his prospects are going to be high. liz: all right this show, in

2016 early on, we pointed out the trend, trump is likely going to get re-elected. we've been reporting since last year even earlier that he could get re-elected. 2016 we said it's coming he's going to get re-elected we've been saying for a while it looks like the trends are he gets re-elected and now the democrats and cnn media outlets and msnbc saying this and now we have obama's former finance chair now saying he's really worried about how bad democrat fundraising so far is for 2020 let's get to fox enterprise ceo billionaire, ernie what's your take on all of this? suddenly they're seeing light of day. >> i think that the democrats should be worried. i think that the economy continues on its trajectory that trump will be elected at last count is 18 of them trying to run for president, and there's no one outstanding, biden and bernie have their problems, it's looking good for trump. liz: and here is the thing democrats are divided there is

that might now between nancy pelosi and socialistic alexandria ocasio-cortez, ernie. that's heating up and it's escalating. we have remember ocasio-cortez and her protesters stormed into pelosi's office last fall and now, pelosi then was ripping into ocasio-cortez's policies and shing this is from nancy. you have to govern mainstream a large number of votes on the house floor is more important than a large number of twitter followers, ernie what's your take on this fight? >> well i think aoc is becoming the pied piper of the party. there's definitely a power struggle happening there and it's hurting, it's hurting the democrat. liz: remember how pelosi already made fun of ocasio-cortez's green new deal saying "it will be one of several or maybe many suggestions that we receive the green dream or whatever they call it nobody knows what it it is but they politicos refor it" and ernie here is something interesting only 91 house

democrats and no 2020 democrats support the green new deal and then you have nancy pelosi going after bernie sanders medicare for all. your take on all this, ernie. >> again, struggle in the party they have serious problems, they don't have a frontrunner. trump could and probably will take it. liz: thank you so much for joining us come back soon. >> thank you. liz: coming up democrats bringing up the big guns they want to get their hands-on trump 's tax returns from when he was a private citizen before he was elected there's no constitutional mechanism that says yes, congress, you could force the irs to do that. look at this. the democrats have come up with a back door plan in case their plan a fails, we're going to show you what it is, next. >> if you'd wish to keep me here, so that i don't have my important meeting, and continue to grill me, then we can do that i will cancel my meeting and i will not be back here. you wouldn't accept an incomplete job from any one else. why accept it from your allergy pills?

(laughing) what?? what?! what?! [crash] what?! haha, it happens. and if you've got cut-rate car insurance, paying for this could feel like getting robbed twice. so get allstate... and be better protected from mayhem... like me. ♪

and i recently had hi, ia heart attack. it changed my life. but i'm a survivor. after my heart attack, my doctor prescribed brilinta. it's for people who have been hospitalized for a heart attack. brilinta is taken with a low-dose aspirin. no more than 100 milligrams as it affects how well brilinta works. brilinta helps keep platelets from sticking together and forming a clot. in a clinical study, brilinta worked better than plavix. brilinta reduced the chance of having another heart attack... ...or dying from one. don't stop taking brilinta without talking to your doctor, since stopping it too soon increases your risk of clots in your stent, heart attack, stroke, and even death.

brilinta may cause bruising or bleeding more easily, or serious, sometimes fatal bleeding. don't take brilinta if you have bleeding, like stomach ulcers, a history of bleeding in the brain, or severe liver problems. slow heart rhythm has been reported. tell your doctor about bleeding new or unexpected shortness of breath any planned surgery, and all medicines you take. if you recently had a heart attack, ask your doctor if brilinta is right for you. my heart is worth brilinta. if you can't afford your medication, astrazeneca may be able to help. elizabeth: chair of house financial service committee maxine waters hammered stephen mnuchin today over getting trump tax return disclosed to congress. >> will you comply with the law by the deadline tomorrow and furnish the tax returns even if it means you may be fired by this president for doing so. >> as i said before, we will follow the law. we are reviewing it with your

internal legal department. and i would leave it at that. >> you are not afraid you will be fired if you rely the return? >> i am not afraid of being fired, i said we'll follow the law. and we're reviewing them. >> i am very pleased. elizabeth: tomorrow is deadline, when democracy say they will get irs to turn over 6 years worth of president trump's tax returns, president said he will fight it to the supreme court. let's bring in georgia congressman jody heist. ithey were talking about. it has to be for ledg legislatie reasons, your take. >> this is right outside of judginjurisdiction of congress.

mueller report was a flop for them. so now they go after anything they can try to find. they think will harm the president. this not going anywhere. elizabeth: new york state democrats are now pushing new legislation to get trump's state tax returns. but sir, that could fail too. state returns have federal tax return information on protected by federal pryacey laws. >> -- privacy laws. >> right, this not going anywhere, there will be lawsuit, the president will fight this. there is no law saying that these tax returns are to be turned over. this is not going to happen, you have the democrats in a desperate search of any kind of haystack they can find in hopes of locating a needle somewhere. they are so bent on harming and destroying this president, they will go to no lengths, if not tax reforms today it will be

something else next week. they are bound and determined to do what they can. elizabeth: i have testified twice before congress about irs reform, i started covering this last year about his attempt to get his tax returns, and supreme court decisions saying we have to have allege latest reason -- legislative reason to lock at them, i still don't see one. here breaking news, attorney general william barr possibly will look into origins of counter intelligence investigation into trump campaign, that is break news, your reaction? >> hey, we need to look -- we have hillary clinton hiring a law firm who hires glen simpson who wires christopher steel, this through the ohrs, and there is corruption possible criminal activity. we need to get to the bottom of it, now is the time to do so, i hope we can follow that trail. elizabeth: here is the thing, if

you swap out word trump and put president obama in. how would that play across? >> you know how it would. this is a one-sided issue. all about president trump. if anything even remote he similasystem -- remotely similak place with president obama they would be crying and heads rolling, this is all about one thing, get rid of the president. they will do whatever they can to that end. they are not going to succeed. you know in whole tax thing that is something in itself that was litigated, in the court of public opinion. while he was run for office. and he did not turn his release those tax forms then, and american people did not care. they still don't care. this all about democrats. elizabeth: thank you so much we appreciate you coming in. >> thank you so much for having us in your home, thank you for

watching, lou dobbs is next right here on the fox business network, have a good evening. lou: good evening, attorney general william barr on capitol hill, today, under fire by radical dimms on his so-called summary of special counsel robert mueller's report. barr's quick responses, his strong defense of president left democrats seething, gasping for air, knowing their witch hunt produced nothing. despite attacks from left, president trump's approval rating is surging. the more he fights to keep his promises, the high are his
