the decision to let him off look even worse. to the misleading patriotic millionaire campaign and the misleading income inequality fight, this is what you need to know for 2020. how this crowd is cynically whipping fastballs by with you, hiding the facts from you because americans are too stupid to get it. plus, increasingly catching on to the first 100 days of the democrat house minority. you won't believe -- majority. which cnn pundit is saying there are no democrats who can take on and beat president trump. as the 2020 the democrat field look increasingly leaderless and rudderless, this as democrats obsess over getting trump's tax returns instead of writing new laws. republicans now have to show and reminded democrats how they can win. mitch mcconnell says, hey, moderate democrats, you -- the guys and women now sidelined,
6:02 pm
now threatened with blacklists from socialists in your party, you who won the house for the democrats, come to our tent. to the border, democrats first said it was not a crisis, then a manufactured crisis, now admitting, yes, it is a crisis, but blaming president trump for it. this as social media blew up over barack obama telling the his own party immigrants, yes, you should assimilate and learn the english language. it doesn't mean you have to abandon your own. i'm elizabeth macdonald, "the evening edit" starts right now. ♪ ♪ elizabeth: welcome to the fox business network. we begin with healthily vaughn on capitol hill -- hillary vaughn with the arrest of julian assange. >> reporter: democrats on capitol hill actually cheering the arrest of julian as san. >> i'm glad, tickled to death.
6:03 pm
>> fight with other countries to get him extradited. >> reporter: even meghan mccain on the view making her feelings about his arrest very clear. >> the politics of this have always been completely hypocritical on both sides. >> what's going the happen with him -- >> i hope he rots in hell. >> reporter: five senate democrats told me they are glad assange is out the of the ecuadoran embassy, but they want him handed over to the u.s. and face charms here after u.s. prosecutors accused assange of conspiring to help chelsea manning in a computer hacking case in 2010 with no charges related to the last presidential election. but some senate lawmakers here i spoke to were more interested in revenge for what they say is meddling in the 2016 election, something 2016 democratic presidential nominee hillary clinton has not let go. reacting to the news -- >> he has a answer for what he that has done as it's been
6:04 pm
charged. i do think it's a little ironic that he may be the only foreigner that this administration would welcome to the united states. >> reporter: and that was a part of her speaking tour that she will continue throughout the weekend with former president bill clinton as well. they have several stops throughout9 the weekend. elizabeth: hillary vaughn in washington, thank you so much. the political tide turning. now increasingly questions are being asked about what exactly was the fbi and the clinton campaign doing in 2016 after attorney general william barr said, yes, i think spying did occur, not one democrats wanted a review of the facts. democrats now on the defense. former director of national intelligence james clapper said this: >> well, i thought it was both stunning and scary. i was amazed at that and rather disappointed that the attorney
6:05 pm
general would say such a thing. what you expect from the attorney general is some independence and objectivity, not reciting talking points that he's, you know, he's heard from the president and others of his supporters. elizabeth: former fbi director james comey says he does not know what barr was talking about and never thought wiretapping was spying. but the man who reportedly suggested wearing a wire in a bid to remove president trump under the 25th amendment, he's deputy attorney general rod rosenstein, now defending william barr telling "the wall street journal" he's being as forthcoming as he can, so this notion he's trying to mislead people, i think, is completely bizarre. bill mcgurn joins me. first, your comments on the spying comment. >> yeah, look, this is ridiculous. it depends on what you mean by the word spying? you listen in to someone else's phone conversations, you're spying. but there's a purpose to this, and i think it's to distract people from what looks increasingly likely, that the
6:06 pm
only evidence the fbi had to launch. the investigation into the trump campaign and so forth was an opposition research document that was pushed into the fbi through many different gates to get an investigation. i think that's what these people are worried about. james clapper should be very worried. his language was so intemperate, he and john brennan calling the president a russian agent and so forth and kind of hinting that they knew about it from special knowledge. potential counsel didn't find any of that -- special counsel didn't find any of that. i hope they're scared, because i have a feeling they have a lot to answer from. elizabeth: even with all that electronic surveillance. >> right, right. elizabeth: the question is being raised would william barr, would he really risk his legacy -- >> right. i think the democrats are overly invested in the bill barr is a corrupt guy. i think like some people were invested in the idea on the right that bob mueller was
6:07 pm
corrupt, it's not the way to go. especially with mr. barr. elizabeth: so the issue is what was, to your point, what was the probable cause evidence that -- [inaudible] electronic surveillance? reports are coming in the fbi was still looking into christopher steele's reliability even after using his dossier to get that fisa warrant to surveil carter page. >> right. all they're trying to do is say look over here, the word spying, so forth, papadopoulos, don't look here at the information in the dossier. i think that's what they're worried about. i was just reading james baker's testimony to congress, the fbi counsel. it's extraordinary, to me, how casually the top fbi brass talked about launching an investigation into the president. lisa page said even a month later there was a paucity of evidence. how casually these people used their power to do that -- elizabeth: yeah. >> and yet now these people are indignant that we might ask them to justify --
6:08 pm
elizabeth: that's the point. listen, this is about our values as a country. whether it's obama or trump, whoever's sitting in the chair, do we want opposition surveilling lance with thin proof? and by the way, comey said that was an verified dossier. >> it's still unverified. elizabeth: here's the text messages between lisa page and peter strzok where page said is trump really going to become president, is that going to happen, and peter strzok said, no, no, we're going to stop it x. then the fbi started wiretapping, right? >> no, it's outrageous. they were so casual about doing that, and they don't want accountability. they don't rule the country, and this idea that the fbi's independent, the fbi is part of the executive branch, it's part of the department of justice which is part of the executive branch. and i think there's going to be a lot to answer for because, you know, in addition to what -- i was glad that bill barr said this, but there are three i.g.
6:09 pm
reports, one on leaks, one on the fisa application, i think one on gifts that fbi agents were accepting. there's devin nuñes' criminal referrals, there's the u.s. attorney, huber, who's working on mccabe's -- there's a lot of information out there. elizabeth: you know, russian meddling, right, should they have not done any electron insurveillance? should they have just waited to get proof and then acted? >> i think what they should have done with dianne feinstein, if they had hunches, go to the president -- well, he wasn't the president then -- we think the russians are trying to compromise people on your team,ing can you help us identify them. that's where the bias is. you know, the inspector general investigating the hillary clinton e-mail thing said he couldn't find examples that proved that their bias affected their decisions. well, the proof is not the individual decisions. the proof is the blaring disparity between fbi agents who wanted hillary to be president and, you know, gave her staff
6:10 pm
immunity agreements. the director's writing her exoneration even before she's given a statement to the fbi agents. the glaring difference between that and how donald trump's people were taken -- look, it's interesting. carter page, he's never been charged with anything. elizabeth: and he was sort of not really -- >> and they've come up with nothing. also just how competent are these people going around telling us in the baker testimony he talks about, oh, we, we really seriously thought whether that donald trump might have fired james comey at the behest of vladimir putin. that is cuckoo talk. elizabeth: we have some still saying he's a russian asset. listen. >> if he wasn't taking orders, he wouldn't take the interpreter's notes. he would release the report that said he's 100% exonerated with.
6:11 pm
it just -- all of my experience as a prosecutor tells me something is wrong with the way that he's acting, the way that he's lying and that we should all be concerned about it. elizabeth: he took on the moral authority. i'm a prosecutor, so my thoughts are facts, my opinions are facts. >> again, we've had this from all those fbi guys, all those department of justice people, brennan and clapper going around saying, you know, i ran an intelligence agency, i know when i say this, it's because i have more knowledge -- elizabeth: but john brennan said i i have that information. yeah. >> that's my point. in addition to being incredibly biased, this shows bias, it shows that they were boneheads too. there was no evidence there, i think. elizabeth: bill mcgurn, thanks for coming in. great writer, love your stuff. >> thank you. elizabeth: stocks across the board on a rip tear upped today. gerri willis has more from the big board. >> reporter: big day in the markets with stocks closing in on record highs, the dow finishing up 269 points, the s&p

6:18 pm
case. a statement from the state's attorney's office reads in part: i welcome this investigation and pledge my full cooperation, cooperation of my office as i.g. blanchard conducts his review. fox had ununofficially recused herself but not her office from the smollett case. it was revealed she had personal contacts with members of the actor's family and supporters while he was still considered the victim of a hate crime. police chiefs in cook county complained she frequently fails to prosecute cases they bring her. now, while a new investigation moves forward, the city of chicago is suing jussie smollett for the overtime detectives worked investigating his claim amounting to $130,106. since smollett refused to pay the first time they requested the money, lawyers now want three times the amount and legal costs. the legal team for jussie smollett still insists he was the victim of an attack, and they promise a rigorous defense.

liz, back to you. elizabeth: now to developments in the biggest college admissions cheating scam in history. a key figure just pleaded guilty in boston federal court. fox news' rick leventhal has this story. rick? >> reporter: good evening, liz. marjorie dell is likely going -- mark ridell is likely going to prison. he arrived to to the federal courthouse just at one p.m., he did not answer shouted questions, and then he headed to courtroom 4 where he pleaded guilty in front of judge nathaniel gordon. admitting his key role in the admissions scandal, literally the brains according to prosecutors. either taking the exam himself or acting as proctor for kids and then fixing their answers when they were done. the government says ridell did not have inside information, he was just really smart and could get a near perfect score on a.c.t. or s.a.t. tests on

demand. he admits doing this for seven years, collecting $10,000 per test, even purposely leaving some answers wrong to avoid suspicion. he has been suspended indefinitely from his job at img academy, billed as the world's largest sports academy, and he faces 33-41 months behind bars, far less than the 20 years he could have gotten. he also has to pay a fine of almost $240,000, the amount he made off the tests, apparentliment ridell admits helping the offspring of at least half the parents who have already pleaded guilty including actress felicity huffman. court documents say ridell flew from his home near tampa to l.a. to state sit in the room as a proctor and after she left, he fixed some of her wrong answers, apparently without the girl's knowledge. other high profile defendants include actress lori loughlin

♪ ♪ elizabeth: welcome back. you're watching the fox business network. we're coming into the bottom of the hour. new developments on that deadly drug-resistant susan-bug fun -- super-bug fungus that preys on people with weakened immune system. it's so invasive that one hospital here in new york, in brooklyn, had to literally remove ceiling and floor tiles
6:28 pm
to get rid of it. nearly half of patients who contract in the fungus in their bloodstream die within 90 days. now, the cdc is calling this deadly super-fungus a, quote, serious global health threat. it's quickly spreading around the world. now more than 1,000 patients found to be carrying it here in the u.s. joining me now is fox news medical correspondent dr. marc siegel. doc, why and how is this spreading so quickly? >> one of the reasons you already were getting to. the reason it's spreading over rooms of hospitals and nursing homes is that for some reason this fungus lives on cold surfaces. normally fungus only lives on warm, moist surfaces, but this can live on the skin, it can live on intravenous lines -- elizabeth: what does that tell you about it? >> that it's going to spread beyond hospitals and nursing homes which was your point, liz. workers are there, and they're going to track it out of there. so the biggest problem with this
6:29 pm
not just that 90% of the strains are resistant to one of the antifun gal drugs out there and 30 president resis tan to two strain, but how it's everywhere. really worried about that because, as you pointed out, it's people that are imknew know-come promited that can -- compromised that can die from this. we don't have a lot of new drugs out there because drug companies don't invest, typically in antifungal drugs. i don't know if it'll be in time to catch up with this thing. elizabeth: what makes it more of a threat compared the other outbreaks? is this a really hearty, strong fungus? >> absolutely. really hearty, really resistant, and it may be tied to our use of feng sides. fengsides. a certain kind used on over 60%. so we're seeing it emerge more and more in the united states.
6:30 pm
it started out in southeast asia, south america, in the middle east. but travelers probably brought it here, but it's emerging more and more, and i think feng sides are likely playing a role. we've seen them already tied in to other resistant funguses, so it's not surprising -- elizabeth: to your reporting just there, "mother jones" media is saying the same thing, that there's a link between farms and hospitals. they rely on the same set of chemicals to fight fungal pathogens. is that a link? >> that's correct. the treatments are very similar. that's a really, or really good point. that's why it's emerging both in farms and in hospitals. and again, we're talking about the really sick patients here. we're talking about people on respirators, people that are clinging to life who maybe we're treating them for something else. and another point you made, we're not always finding this thing -- elizabeth: yeah, how do you know it's there? >> we've got to know what we're looking for, so now with this
6:31 pm
wake-up call, we're going to see hospitals more and more looking for it, but a lot of hospitals are hiding this. they don't want to be known as the hospital of this bug. elizabeth: exactly. as we reported, the cdc has contracts with state hospitals that they don't have to disclose it, right? for whatever reason, it's a contractual thing. >> you made a great point. you have to disclose it in mexico, but you don't have to in the united states. the cdc knows about it because state and local health departments tell them, but the hospitals don't have to pony up the information which is very dangerous if you're a patient -- elizabeth: what would you do if one of your patients had this? what would you tell your patient to do? >> i would say good news is we probably can treat it. we've got to diagnose it early, before it's all over the place in the bloodstream and you're really sick from it. we can treat it if we put two or three antifungal drugs together most of the time. of course, overuse is another one of the reasons it's emerging, so we've got to make sure that we're treating it appropriately. elizabeth: great insights as

patriotic millionaires. critics are saying you've got bullying nonsense you're trying to sell, saying the falsehoods are in the slogan. you're unpatriotic if you don't pay what they think you should pay. tax the rich, save america. yes, it really is that simple. yes, it's a slogan for simpletons, the fact is they don't tell you hundreds of billions of dollars in government waste while they want more of your money, and the top 20% already pay about 87% of all federal income taxes. there's more they're not telling you, let's bring in the former gubernatorial candidate for california, john cox. what do you think of all this? >> great to be with you, liz. well, the last thing we should do is give more money to the government which, as you say, wastes a lot of the money and uses it inefficiently and unproductively. there's one reason why bernie sanders and all these people want to do that. that's all about power. the more money that goes into the government, the more powerful we are.
6:38 pm
we should help people who need the help, liz, and we should try to reduce inequality, but you don't do that by taxing the rich. you give people voucherses for education and vouchers for health care and assistance so that they can use those vouchers to go and choose to spend those vouchers and use their own consumer choice to get a better deal to make sure the quality is good and to make sure that everybody uses the resources the most effective manner. elizabeth: two-thirds to have u.s. households get more in the way of government benefits than they pay into the system in taxes. that's according to the cbo. something like 44, 43% don't pay any federal income taxes. yes, of course, we know they pay payroll taxes, but when you hear the hard-line ideology of "the new york times" saying, quote, abolish billion natures, elizabeth warren and beto o'rourke, they want no more upper bracket people, bernie sanders and alexandria ocasio-cortez are constantly talking about flattening and
6:39 pm
getting at the upper brackets in order to pay for their big government programs. of there's no indication that taking more money actually solves somebody else's and raises somebody else's income. we know about the government programs that help, but that's at the heart of this deceptive argument, john. >> well, and not only that, what they do, what the rich do when they raise tax rates like that is they find other ways to avoid the tax which is also unproductive and inefficient. i'm a cpa, liz. i used to do tax returns when the tax bracket was 70%. and what people did was they tried to manipulate their income, move it all over the place, and in doing so, they didn't use it efficiently or productively. liz, our standard of living is accelerated. you know this. when we use our resources effectively and productively. elizabeth: yeah. >> when we have government make all these problems like in the and raise tax rates, it makes our use of resources very inefficient, and that really
6:40 pm
does hurt our standard of living, and that hurts the people that need an increase in the standard of living a lot more. i don't necessarily, but the people who are struggling and working, they need to use money efficiently and productively. elizabeth: the other thing too about the fight bernie and the others are trying to tout and sell, they only use income information from the irs and census. it does not the include things like jobless benefits, medicaid, medicare, 401(k)s, pension plans, on and on. you're -- and also company health plans. what are your thoughts about that? by the way, i think the lower and middle class own about half of all pension accounts in this country, that includes firemen, teachers and cops. >> absolutely. and the reduction in the corporate tax rate that the president got through made u.s. companies a lot more efficient, made them a lot more competitive in the world and brought back a lot of money that they've been using to increase the stock price. the stock market hit close to a new record again today, and i think a large part of that is
6:41 pm
they're able to bring that money back and use it efficiently. that's what government ought to be doing, liz. this is all about envy, and it's all about control, and that's why these presidential candidates are pushing this stuff. and i hope that your viewers and the rest of the people in this country get wise to what these politicians are doing. you know, we need to make sure that money stays in the hands of consumers who can use it to make sure that we have competition and quality and efficiency in the use of our resources. elizabeth: yeah. to your point, even mutual fund company fidelity says, you know what? 9 out of 10 people who are millionaires, they were not born wealthy, they did not start out life on third base,tarianed it. there's -- they earned it. people move up in the upper brackets and move down. that's been this way for decades, john. >> people don't resent the rich. what they want to do is be rich, and they want the opportunity. and i think that's what we have -- elizabeth: i gotta get to this. a "forbes" report says bernie sanders has an estimated $2.5
6:42 pm
million fortune. he owns multiple homes, half a million in cash investments, 700,000 in government pensions. your take on bernie sanders being a 1%-er john. >> welcome to the capitalist world, bernie. i welcome you earning a living and earning resources that you can then better deploy to help others. i think that's a wonderful thing. you know, that's the benefit of our wonderful system. and we can see when other countries have different systems like venezuela, you know, that they don't enjoy those kinds of benefits. so i hope bernie loves living in the united states and certainly doesn't want to change his residency to venezuela. what do you think, liz? are. elizabeth: i don't know, john, we'll have you back on to talk about it. great to see you. next up, senate majority leader mitch mcconnell saying he feels nancy pelosi's pain over the do-nothing house democrats, and mitch mcconnell now saying to the moderate bulldog democrats who won nancy her gavel, hey, come work with
