regan days of free markets and they have the beautiful weather in addition it would be paradise , now it's half paradise , half tax hell. >> and weird. david: that does it for bulls & bears have a wonderful holiday weekend, everybody. we'll see you next time. liz: i'm elizabeth macdonald, you're watching the fox business network, the evening edit starts right now. more fallout ensues from the mueller report now this, senator elizabeth warren calling on the house to begin impeachment proceedings also the new york times has this headline this afternoon. americans agree on one thing about the mueller report, unanimous disgust with our country's leaders. let's get the latest from edward lawrence in washington, edward what's going on? reporter: well it only took about 24 hours for the chairman of the house judiciary committee to follow through with his threat, representative jerry nadler sent the subpoena that he

said was coming, to the department of justice requesting the unredacted version of the mueller report along with the underlying document. now he says it's up to congress to determine the scope of the alleged misconduct by the president. the white house not worried about this request at all. >> we're not going to deal with jerry nadler in that manner. we have already cooperated so much, with the house democrats and we'll continue to do so but the fact is this is just more political grandstanding by someone, who has nothing to run on, nothing to talk about, other than trying to attack a man whose now been proven completely innocent of any crime. reporter: the department of justice offering a lesser redacted version of the report to 12 members of congress for a limited time. well this evening i could tell you the top democrats in the house and senate declined the offer. instead they're waiting on the subpoenaed unredacted version. the white house may not be worried about the un unredacted version but the president seems a little upset today just look at the tweet which he will not fully read because he uses colorful language in it.

the president is saying he does not need to respond to statements made in the report, because they were only made to make him look bad, the president goes on to say this whole thing was a hoax. liz? liz: all right, thank you, edward lawrence with the latest really appreciate your reporting there. the mueller report not black and white, no ringing conclusions, no clean bill of health, even would trigger the probe the firing of james comey critics are saying didn't merit much discussion in the mueller report this as the democrats are being criticized for going after the president for demanding things like this his financial records, critics are saying these are the kinds of things nixon was doing when nixon resigned from office going after his political enemies and now former nixon white house counsel john dean calls the report though devastating and says it's more damming juan the watergate report we have former fbi director andrew mccabe saying journalists said the

mueller report otto a little bit rated" that's what he used that word, the media fever swamp of trump russia conspiracy theories and bombshells so now this, the trump campaign says it raised over $1 million since the release of the mueller report since yesterday, fundraising pop s more than trip ill digits joining me now, for to pop at a raid faster than triple digits, that's striking, hans, the fundraising. >> it is, it is and i think that it's a sign that the american people are tired of this. this went on for two years and for two years, the claim was made that there was collusion with the russians that it called the legitimaticy of the 2016 election into question, and we now know there was no such evidence that anything like that ever happened. liz: you know, let's back up. it's not something to celebrate the fact that according to the

mueller report president did try to get corey lewandowski to step in to the russia investigation and stand up for him. and that it was from official obstruction by his aids, who saved him from legal jeopardy what was your take on that section of the report? >> well my take was it was a good thing his aids kept him from doing that but keep in mind this. when it comes to an obstruction charge by a federal prosecutor, one thing that you have to show is a corrupt intent. i don't think they could do that here. why? because the intent that was driving the president was not trying to cover up some underlying crime. it was his anger which i think a lot of people could understand, his anger at being accused of committing a crime that we now know did not occur. liz: and the people around the president were being accused of process crimes, but the people around the president were getting their phone messages,

you know, given over to mueller, their text messages, e-mails, bank accounts. let me back up. neither side got a clear back and white, the news has held though, you know, do you know what's striking hans? the news is how little was actually news, there was so much leaking going on, we basically knew this story that was in the report, right? >> yeah, we did, and you have to wonder who was it in the office of robert mueller who was leaking this kind of information look, the other thing to keep in mind it was very important the obstruction claims is that we know no actual obstruction of any kind occurred. no restrictions, no limitations were put on mueller's investigation not only that, but as you said, mueller had access to white house personnel, white house information, white house documents. the president never asserted executive privilege as he could have and as in contrast, barack obama did when congress was

trying to investigate the operation fast and fur operation that the justice department did. liz: the president never blocked what mueller was -- >> exactly right. liz: so here is the president just tweeting "the washington post and new york times are in my opinion two of the most dishonest media outlets around truly the enemy of the people." what's your take? >> well, it is. do you know what i've been wondering is are they going to give back their pulitzer prizes for all of the stories they published on the suppose ed collusion that occurred that never actually occurred? liz: yeah it's a good point. you know, hans i want you to react to this. it's connecticut senator richard blumenthal now saying it's up to congress. >> mueller is trying to say to congress you should do your job hold the president accountable because i have given you a sweep ing systematic story of

criminal wrongdoing. liz: hans your reaction to that? >> that is just absolutely wrong. he simply laid out the evidence and left it for the attorney general to make a decision on whether there was actually a criminally prosecutable offense. the attorney general i think correctly concluded that there wasn't and i think other prosecutors looking at this also particularly because there was no underlying crime, and no actual obstruction of any kind occurred would say this is not a case that they would want to try to prosecute. liz: this clearly was a new kind of political campaign, that the trump campaign was running, and it's now the mueller report is asking basically why didn't trump's campaign just decline the russian offers to help or report them to law enforcement then the flip side of that is why didn't the government tell the trump campaign even more forcefully that russia is meddl ing big time.

what's your reaction to that? >> well in fact that to me is the most important question. look, a lot of what happened was for example, the campaign being contacted by folks saying well we've got political opposition research on hillary clinton. there isn't a campaign in america that would not meet with someone offering something like that. the real issue to me is if the fbi actually had information in their counter intelligence operation that the russian government, russian intelligence agents were actually trying to penetrate the trump campaign, they should have picked up the phone and warned the trump campaign about that and yet, they didn't do that. that to me is astonishing. liz: yeah, because it would be hacking into also the trump campaign given that the russians were, the potential for that rather the potential for that. in other words the trump campaign potentially could be vulnerable to russian hacking who knows but the other thing too is i want to get back because it's important because

now this could come up in potential impeachment proceedings if senator elizabeth warren gets her way. you do need to prove intent to prove obstruction. you can't make an obstruction charge out of actions that were simply discussed but never implemented so since no crime, no corrupt motive to cover up any crime that didn't occur, right? >> that's right and that's why the attorney general is saying there wasn't evidence that would warrant a obstruction of justice charge. look, this is the last attempt by the democrats to find as i think i've said before, the holy grail that will bring down this president and change the results of the 2016 election. i think if they keep pushing this, they maybe hurt political ly by the american people, who have made it very clear they want congress to get on with the real busess of the nation. liz: you know, the mueller report said we're not going to render prosecutorial judgment but then president trump is now

fully exonerated that sounds like a judgment. the big question too, when i read through the report, what about the steele dossier? it hardly gets any mention in the mueller report, christopher steele's file it's like a player , a minor character. what's your take on that? >> well it seems obvious that mueller did not want to discuss the fact that there may have been no basis for this investigation to actually have been open, and that's why it is very important that the justice department do what general barr has said which is to look at whether in fact there was any credible evidence that justified the fbi actually opening up what started off as a counter intelligence operation because if fact if they didn't have evidence to do that, then it means that fbi and doj officials abused their authority under the law to in essence spy on the opposition parties of presidential campaign. liz: it's quite a charge to

level against them. we have also this curious tweet from former fbi director joel. he put out an image you see of the floor of a forest or woods, so many answers, not sure what the meaning of that is what's your take on that, hans? >> i've given up trying to figure out what in the world james comey thinks about this. remember, he himself has been accused of wrongdoing because he took with him what would have been confidential materials on his notes of meetings with the president, and remember, this is the same guy who admitted that the steele dossier which they used to go to the fisa court, to get electronic surveillance warrants, he admitted that it was unverified by the fbi, and that to me says he was either incompetent as the head of the fbi or frankly was not doing his

job. liz: it all happened under the obama administration. come back soon. >> sure thanks for having me. liz: up ahead on the evening edit we've got severe weather tornado threats in a big stretch of the eastern seaboard just a day after storms turned deadly in the south. we've got an update that you'll need to know, plus paris officials pointing to a short circuit as a possible cause of that devastating fire at the notre dame cathedral we've got more breaking news on that, coming up. hmm. exactly. liberty mutual customizes your car insurance, so you only pay for what you need. nice. but, uh... what's up with your... partner? not again. limu that's your reflection. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty, liberty, liberty, liberty ♪ ♪ ♪ i can do more to lower my a1c.

liz: well it is easter abdomen passover weekend we want to get for you an update on what happened with the notre dame cathedral fire. officials in paris now believe it was started by an electrical short circuit that was connected to renovations on the cathedral. also this happening in paris, the yellow vest movement, they're planning even more protests this weekend. the yellow vesters are apparently fuming and angry that president macron addressed the fire faster than their violent protest. molly lion has more in paris. reporter: liz although the faithful can't gather inside the notre dame cathedral this easter for weekend and perhaps not for

many easters to come they were able to walk the streets surrounding this and to begin their procession on one of the bridges leading up up to it. catholics walked in remembrance, the way of the cross is a traditional procession that emmulates jesus christ carrying his cross to calvary and it's done in many places around the world but took on unique significance here in paris this afternoon, with the treasured themes of easter, hope, and renewal, so close to the hearts of those praying that this great spiritual home in the heart of the city rises from the ashes. the safety of the structure is still being assessed and the area immediately around the cathedral remains closed and they are using scaffolding and netting to ensure safety: french president emmanuel macron welcomed officials from the united nations, the cultural arm of the agency to begin discussion about the difficult task ahead and this week, mc reason's focus has certainly one on the cathedral but come this weekend he may not be able

to ignore the people that refuse to be ignored the predominantly middle and lower-cost protesters dubbed the yellow vest. they claimed about the economy, high taxes and now have reportedly become upset by the billion dollar outpouring to restore notre dame. these protests are expected tomorrow that's saturday the traditional day for these yellow vest protests and expected despite the fact this is easter weekend, liz? liz: molly line in paris, thank you so much. a footnote was just about 15 minutes away from complete implosion, the two towers made of wood that wood was about to be lit up and they got to it in time, the cathedral structure rescued an update, christians and jews around the world are preparing to celebrate easter and passover this weekend we've got a new gallup poll though that shows a significant drop in the number of people belonging to religious institutions. fox news lauren green is outside st. patrick's cathedral with

more. lauren? reporter: it is the most holy week of the year for christians and jews with easter and pass over, and while the fews are typically full to overflowing that shows a dramatic drop in the number of people who actually belong to a church or a saying a gone and the survey shows between the late 1930s and 1990s, the percentage of americans belonging to a house of worship hovered around 70% but in the last 20 years that dropped dramatically to 50%. it's a trend while baby boomers and older make up the bulk of those who are members of a house of worship and attend regularly the driving force for the decline in membership are millennials who make up the biggest percentage of those who don't identify with a specific religion but experts say it's a wider trend with millennials. >> the quarrel is with organiz ed religion, churches and big institutions across-the-board actually not just religious organizations, but lots of large organizations.

reporter: so the drop in membership doesn't necessarily mean americans are not religious or believe in a higher power more than three-quarters of americans, 77% still end up with some organized religion though even though that number is down. >> it's something to me as sitting down for an hour being devoted and taking the time to do that. >> i think it's more of a time thing, no one has time for it and it's just not like a main priority. reporter: the decline in membership is greater among catholics and the possible by-product of the clergy sex abuse crisis but by political affiliation, it shows a modest decline in membership for republicans, while among democrats, nearly 25% decline. liz: lauren green at st. patrick s cathedral in new york city. we're tracking other headlines for you the federal trade commission is going after facebook's chief mark zuckerberg personally, holding him responsible for facebook's misuse of your data. those are the reports coming in.

liz: welcome back you're watching the fox business network we're coming into the bottom of the hour, violent storms packing potentially deadly tornadoes now stretching from florida to virginia a day after deadly storms ripped through the south, the chief meteorologist joins us now, joe, boy this sounds really dangerous what's going on? >> well yeah, the next six to 12 hours are going to be pretty nasty as this line of heavy thunderstorms moves northeast ward, believe it or not extending from virginia all the way down to the coastal carolinas or probably be in the d.c. area between 9:00 and midnight, and further northeast, after that, and any of these thunderstorms are capable spin ning up a tornado all the way into new jersey and southeast pennsylvania.

we had a cold front come through sunday night in central pennsylvania spaun three or four tornadoes and now this is not that out of the ordinary folks, we're in the middle of tornado season as a matter of fact after this particular batch goes by, we may find it rather tranquil overall it's going to be a lot of rain in texas next week but the next several hours, okay, from virginia, north carolina, into the mid atlantic states, new jersey, southeastern pennsylvania stay aware because these things are nasty. liz: joe thank you for the update appreciate it sir, thanks for joining us okay let's give you this update its been more than 100 days in the split congress so what has it accomplished so far? well lots of resolutions that go nowhere and only a dozen bills signed into law. let's compare it to the last congress, 442 laws at the republican-controlled congress pushed through that was the most in 10 years, for their reaction let's go to bach enterprises ceo and president ernie bach jr. ,

and wall street editorial board member, bill mcgurn. >> thank you. liz: last year tax overhaul criminal justice reform this year this what do you think? >> well i think their agenda is different. i think that they're working to upset the president, to do mr. trump wrong. they're not doing anything. liz: do you think the voters see that though? >> absolutely it's not like they should go back to work they should start to work i think. liz: what do you think, bill? >> i agree with ernie. look the measure is i'm kind of happy sometimes when congress doesn't pass laws it depends what the laws are but from -- liz: what was that reagan quote? >> reagan used to say to his staff when hi was governor, don't just stand there, do nothing so i'm not always excited about active legislators passing laws that spend more of my money. that said from a democratic point of view i think the one thing that you could say about donald trump is that he is a

deal maker, he would be willing to give and things i wouldn't like him to give to get a deal with the democrats. liz: like what? >> like for the border security , would he give infrastructure, he would of -- liz: what would you not like him to give up? >> i worry about some of the infrastructure spending he might approve, but they won't do it. liz: because here is the natural fit for that, right? to bill's point and an infrastructure deal on pipelines there is that choke point bottleneck coming out of the permian basin, but do you think the democrats would go for that? >> i don't think so if the republicans are going for it they aren't going to. it's crazy. liz: here is the thing to your point, president trump signed two executive orders to get pipelines permitting delays. jamie dimon at jp morgan chase said it took eight years to put physically hardware, a man on the moon and it takes longer to get permitting right so what do you think? do you think the democrats will go for infrastructure like

pipelines? probably not, right? >> i think the democrats are in the mode they are still battling the 2016 election and now looking at 2020, they don't want to give the president anything that he could to the as an achievement. >> not an inch. >> even if they're a part of the achievement themselves. liz: but this would create jobs right and we were talking about being the number one energy producer in the world, so this seems like a natural fit for union, the union crowd wants this, right? the labor unions love the pipeline infrastructure stuff right ernie? >> it might come down to states , and massachusetts where i'm from, the governor of vermont and the governor of massachusetts worked together on pipeline, so that was very cool. liz: do you know what's really interesting too this is about what we're in right now the season of getting the base excited. you got to get the base excited that's what the democrats are doing, elizabeth warren not really catching fires the others here is the thing governor

andrew cuomo has a green new deal version in new york state and a big fight for president trump who wants to get pipelines through new york state but cuomo base is the hard left so that's pushing back on getting jobs here in new york in infrastructure. >> the worse thing governor cuomo has done is closed the door to fracking and the pennsylvania border there's a lot of resources that could be tapped into and these places are dying for some economic life. years after governor cuomo has taken over it just ranked last in the ranking of states i think for business environment. it's terrible, but they feel that these ideological constituents, the green constituents and so forth are the people that they need to appease. i mean you mentioned before the blue collar workers right? construction workers. they are a diminishing part of the democratic brand for one thing the diminishing part of union membership that's more a public service and the teachers unions are far bigger and a lot

of those people are people who voted for barack obama, but then voted for donald trump, because they rightly think their interests are not being looked after by the democratic party. liz: ernie, bill just pointed out the marcellus shale in pennsylvania that's booming, people and then you look over the rust belt and new york state it's like oh, my god. you know what's really striking about this? the natural gas lowers carbon emissions. >> absolutely. liz: dramatically. >> so it's actually better to do it but they won't do it just because they don't want to do it liz: let's go through cut emissions 50% over the last few years more than wind and solar combined, bill and gas also is negligible pollutants right and way less than coal or oil so it seems like a natural thing go for nat gas. >> and you're talking about if you're measuring by results but if you look what democrats are increasingly for, free college, no i.c.e. medicare for all, green new deal, it's just crazy

spending, with nothing attending the side about revenue about a health it economy, to give the revenues that would do that. it's sort of about ideological purity rather than the old fashion i can bring you these benefits. liz: ideological purity and plaquelisting so do you know what ernie what's really funny i went to college in buffalo and they always joke in buffalo new york how a fracking billionaire bought the buffalo state and rescued the hockey team. >> and where there's oil there's gas. liz: yeah. so, it seems like common sense stuff, but that's not what this is about right now, guys? >> right, look and there's a presidential election year so the voices that are most opposed to this are the people trying to compete for what they think is the democratic base, which is more left wing than the democratic party. liz: ernie and bill great to see you guys thank you. >> thank you. liz: coming up, the democrats declaring war, on attorney general william barr and they're also declaring war on each other over whether to impeach

president trump or not and we'll tell you whose for it and whose against it plus joe biden close to throwing his hat in the ring possibly this coming wednesday, he may be leading the polls but critics warn watch out. you're betting on an old school moderate and a new and very progressive democrat world that's coming up next. fact is, every insurance company hopes you drive safely. but allstate actually helps you drive safely... with drivewise. it lets you know when you go too fast... ...and brake too hard. with feedback to help you drive safer. giving you the power to actually lower your cost. unfortunately, it can't do anything about that. now that you know the truth... are you in good hands? the cloud i need? it has to keep up with sales, supply chain, inventory - ♪ ♪ it needs to track it all, from cincinnati to singapore. ooo! ♪ ♪

liz: okay, democrats now plan a call on monday to agree on a battle plan to go forward on the mueller report but they are divided on whether to impeach. senator elizabeth warren calling on the house to begin impeachment proceedings and former cia director james clap per says the mueller report gives the democrats a roadmap for impeachment. joining me is republican congressman bob begins. congressman first what are you hearing inside your committees what's the inside scoop on this? >> well, i think that the democrats want to move forward, like elizabeth warren said, for

impeachment. then waste taxpayer dollars, i don't think they will find any more with the mueller investigation. we had 19 lawyers working on that, 40 fbi agents, 500 witnesses were interviewed, a couple thousand subpoenaed, and i think the mueller investigation, they had people on there to find collusion, wanted to find obstruction by the president and they couldn't do it and so if they want to waste america's time and not move on and do things like take care of infrastructure, take care of immigration, as you saw your earlier report only 12 bills have been passed out of the house in the first 100 days of this congress we had like 400 in our first 100 days of last congress and we were in the majority. liz: congressman, democrat leaders nancy pelosi, steny hoyer, chuck schumer tried to dial back impeachment talk and impeachment historically has been looked on as a political move and it could energize the president's base ahead of 2020 and it could the democrats control of the house and certainly endanger their freshman members who flipped the

gop house to give nancy pelosi the gavel, but here is the bombshell report that's on the way. the justice department inspector general michael horowitz has since last year, he's been examining the fbi's efforts to surveil the trump campaign, based on the christopher steele dossier, they're looking into christopher steele, christopher steele won't talk to them. that's the next shoe to drop. we're in this new cycle about the mueller report the next one is about the investigation itself, right, sir? >> i think so, and i think the attorney general barr is looking to that too, and i think you're going to see some of the ig's report in six to eight weeks that that question needs to be answered, because unfortunately, it looks like our justice department used the dossier which we know was to be are indicated it was a scam to get the warrants to surveil or spy on carter page and the trump campaign, and that can not allow that could be happened, because the fisa court was setup as a

special court to deal with terrism, and intelligence and if it's used to weaponize our judicial system in this country for political purposes for presidential campaign, that goes to our dome democracy. liz: it would also put in the spotlight andrew mccabe, james comey, fbi official baker, here is the thing. if the ig basically goes, he is going forward with this probe into christopher steele and that dossier this is according to reports that are crossing we've seen this already, you know, this then changes the whole narrative, that from away from the mueller probe to what launch ed it in the beginning because sir, we read through the mueller report, i've read through it, the steele dossier is sort of a big player, a minor character in the immigrant what's your take on that? >> well i think the mueller investigation, they should be looking into that too because i believe there was collusion and

the collusion was on the democrat side with a fake dossier, and steele and all of them, and that's where the collusion was with the clinton campaign, and with the russians, so i think that that needs to be looked into and i think it will be now that's going to be coming out. liz: so the ig again let's recap the justice department inspector general michael horowitz, that report could be completed in may or june. attorney general william barr got heavy criticism, he was under heavy fire last week for saying yes, he believes that spying did occur. what was your reaction to the criticism of the attorney general last week? >> i think it was not warranted i think the attorney general barr did an excellent job coming out in a very non-partisan way, with the facts and doing what the attorney general should do and look at the report, and the legalities of what's in that and you know they're attacking him

that he wasn't going to deliver the report and it was going to be all redacted as we seen very little that's been redacted and he only redacted certain points for ongoing investigation or grand jury and those specific issues, and so they jumped all over so the democrats are going to jump all over everybody, and they are no collusion in the trump campaign and now it's obstruction anything they go to so whatever the next thing will be it's anybody's guess but just we need this country needs to move on congress needs to do its work and the justice department needs to do their work and investigate the investigators that pulled a shaman the fisa court. liz: and the ig michael horowitz 's report on the hillary clinton probe certainly was extremely unflattering to the fbi. that probe and to christopher steele and the dossier coming up from the department of justice i g. thank you, congressman gibbs for joining us and have a good weekend. coming up reports that former vice president joe biden now

planning to finally announce he is running in 2020 that announcement could come on wednesday. here is the argument here is the debate. will joe biden have a chance in this new very left-leaning democrat party, but first we told you it was happening and the border patrol confirms it border agents are seeing massive amounts of illegal immigrants trying to get in here, by pretending to be family. that story, next. ♪ (vo) i know what you're thinking.

liz: and a very happy passover to our viewers as well, officials uncovering massive fraud at the border, more than 3,000 fraudulent family cases trying to cross into the u.s. in the past year. let's bring in national border patrol counsel vice president, wow, 3,000 fake families, art what's your reaction? >> you know, i'm not shocked, because we've seen this before. we've seen a lot of these individuals that cross, and i've been involved in it myself, where i see an individual with a child and i ask the child who the gentleman is or female, and as you continuously ask the questions, you find out that there's a lot of these cases

where these people bring children across, and they're not , the parent, they're not the guardian many times it's somebody they just met on the road. liz: who are they, these people, picking up using these children and making pretend they're family? who do they tend to be? >> well many times, it's obviously illegal aliens coming in and they have this notion that if they have a child with them, they realize that they cannot be detained more than 20 days and they will be released it's the catch and release. they realize they will be released into american streets. liz: we're looking at shots of some of the camps where people are who are trying to cross the border being held in. there have reportedly been, art, at least half a dozen hunger strikes at detention centers in the first three months of this year, we have michigan democratic congresswoman who is the parent to urge her supporters last week to join in a hunger strike but her office is denying that let's back up

what's your take on hunger strikes here? >> it goes back to the issue of the actual crisis that we are seeing continuously on the border. obviously, you know, we have individuals that are bringing in children that are not their own. we don't know if these children are being rented out to other groups and that's something that concern you. now you have individuals that are going through this hunger strike so they can be released within the united states. those are all issues that they need to be taken care of, and the way you do that is you look at the laws, the asylum laws you enforce some of those laws that are there, congress needs to do their job. we're facing a crisis. we're facing an emergency and it's something we have not seen before. liz: art what's your reaction to the reports that malitia groups in new mexico reportedly detaining asylum seeker at gunpoint, what's your reaction to that story? the criticism pushing back about this too is that congress needs to enact better border laws, so we wouldn't be seeing stories like this, what's your reaction

to the malitia groups here? >> we have men and women that work for the united states border patrol that are very well trained. they're the ones out there doing the job correctly, and that's what i have on that. when you have other people taking the law into their own hands, it's obviously something that i'm not going to advise but it just shows the frustration across the country with these immigration laws and the loopholes that a lot of these individuals are finding. liz: great to see you sir thank you so much for joining us. okay, next up looks like joe biden is finally about to announce what we already said he was going to do. next wednesday, he's expected to announce he is running for president, a very crowded field, we've got that story, next. every year, our analysts visit thousands of companies, in a multitude of countries, where we get to know the people that drive a company's growth and gain new perspectives. that's why we go beyond the numbers. t. rowe price. invest with confidence.

immediate jobbing tri. ithat was back, liz, when the democratic party could make a claim to being semi normal. now that they've embraced socialism, i'm per president-elected as to why people think joe biden can win. the gra grass roots activists ae not centrist, that ear far left. liz: do you expect joe biden to play to the hard left in firing up the base? >> i think he's going to try. everybody inside the party is trying to play to the left base. the problem they're going to have is after months and months into the summer of 2020, call it august of 2020, whoever wins that nomination after all of the crazy ideas, they're going to have to pivot in 90 days and try and convince the american people that somehow they're center left. i just don't see it happening. now i think the chances in 2020,

they're in for a lot more trouble than they want to admit. their great co conspiracy theory fell apart and the rest of the field really quite frankly are anything but political giants. they've got serious issues. liz: i want to get your quick reaction to the next news cycle. it will likely be about the justice department inspector general michael horowitz looking into the steele dossier and howe fisa warrant. the ig's report that hillary clinton probe by the fbi, massive leaking. you know, journalists too close to fbi, taking fbi officials out to dinner, to golfing events and more. what do you expect from the ig report here? it's expected to come out in may or june. >> i think what we'll get is confirmation that the fisa applications were falsified. they used the steele dossier,

mccabe testified to that under oath in 2017. grassley and graham said they had two of the fisa applications based off of the dossier. it's a crime to falsify fisa applications. it will show that crimes were committed. let's not forget, i think ag barr is going to mo down the path of investigates the investigators. not only do we have the fisa report. i think ag barr is going to do his own investigating and i think we need to look into brennon, clapper, comey, mccabe, and sally yates. i think they're in serious trouble if there's a full-throated investigation into their behavior. liz: the individuals you just named, do you expect them to be more vocal or less vocal going forward into the news cycle? >> it would be in their best interest to be less vocal by i don'but idon't expect that. they're in serious trouble. they've got some serious

problems. liz: thank you for joining us. appreciate it, sir. thank you so much ffer having us in your homes. "lolou dobbs" is next here on te fox business network. have a great easter and passover. lou: good evening, everybody. radical dimms have been throughout the day and almost perfect harmony with hysterical hypehyperbolic howls of protestd considerable confusion, seemingly incapable of comprehending that their efforts to overthrow the president of the united states have now ended in une give cabal abject failure, a day after the attorney general released the report that exonerates and vindicates president trump. the radical dimms have turned to more hyperbolic rhetoric and pivoted to a hastily contrived
