3:01 pm
this as trump's approval rating rising in the polls. polls showing a majority of congress is now saying congress -- majority of voters is now saying congress move off of mueller. the trump administration is seeking to make history, it wants freedom for not just venezuela but cuba and nicaragua. it wants to create for the first time in history a totally free western hemisphere. we have a former top venezuelan insider on that and how the hard left democrats come off as antifreedom. it is trump versus biden on the trump economy. the democrats are in panic mode, in a scramble. even the washington post and the new york times saying joe biden, you are wrong, on a lot of things about the trump policies including the tax cuts.
3:02 pm
you won't believe which country joe biden is saying is not a threat to america. how one of joe biden's big fund-raisers is a law firm tries to bust unions. critics saying he's heavy on emotion, so will the real joe biden please stand up? all of this is unfolding. a new congressional budget office study says yes, the democrats your medicare for all is really expensive. it would wipe out government spending on most all other programs and the cbo also says yes, the government wait time to see your doctor would be much much longer. thank you for joining us. i'm elizabeth mcdonald. "the evening edit" starts right now. okay. here's what's going on with william barr. the democrats are trying to side line william barr, get him out of the way from future decisions about investigating president trump involving the mueller
3:03 pm
report. this as senate democrats are putting the brakes on trump impeachment talk. one senior democrat saying it is close to impossible to get the 20 republican votes needed to convict trump in senate. 43% approve of trump. voters are saying move on from mueller. a recent poll shows more than half of americans say the mueller report has no bearing on their vote in 2020. another university poll says more than half have said to move on. a poll said two thirds of americans are against impeachment. joining me now is ned ryan. what is america saying here? >> well, they've been saying it for quite some time, liz, if you look at the polls over the last year and a year and a half. the russia issue, the fairytale was polling at 1/2 percent, 1 percent to the american people when they were asked what are the most important issue to you. that's the staggering part to
3:04 pm
me, the democrats tripling down on this. this whole thing with barr over the last couple of weeks is an attempt to delegitimize him. they realize bill barr is a real attorney general. he is not going to be cowed by the doj and fbi. he's not going to be cowed by congressional democrats he's shown he will be very serious about thesish thus, the potential -- these issues, the potential spying. he said there are multiple investigations open into the illegal leaks taking place. all this terrifies the left. liz: this is what the democrat house, the majority there have accomplished in legislation, 16 bills in the first three months compared to 443 in last year's congress. they are hyperfocused on probes and the president instead of getting things done like cheaper drug prices, fixing open borders and more. >> right. liz: i mean their first 100 days has been totally go nowhere. all of this stuff, it is about getting on camera and mistaking activity for achievement. your take on that?
3:05 pm
>> no, absolutely, first of all, what are they going to pitch to the american people, the green new deal, medicare for all, universal basic income, free college? you add all that up, it is a staggering price tag at 150 trillion or more. they really don't have many positive ideas to actually offer to the american people. what they are left with is investigations and resistance, and that's what they are doing. and they will continue to do it till the 2020 election. liz: this is what they are pushing on that president trump according to the mueller report tried to get white house counsel don mcgahn to fire mueller, the special counsel. we need to break this down for the viewer. nancy pelosi is trying to now claim that william barr lied. critics are saying she's wrong. here are the facts. when william barr testified last month, he said no, he was not aware of reports that special counsel robert mueller's team, the team was unhappy with his summary of their findings. he testified that back in april. he also testified at that time, ned, quote, i suspect that they,
3:06 pm
the team, probably wanted more information to be released, but nancy pelosi is saying that because by that time barr got a letter from mueller saying he was unhappy that that somehow equates to perjury. your take on that? >> well, i would encourage the viewers to go back and watch the video clip of charlie crist asking these questions of bill barr, and he asks there are reports that some of the mueller team are unhappy. do you know what they are referencing? and bill barr goes no, i don't. i suspect they wanted more information released. i mean, this really does show mueller to be a far more partisan person. bill barr has been transparent. he didn't have to do a summary, release the report and didn't have to release a report that was only about 10% redacted. he has been going out of his way to be transparent including testifying for upwards of six
3:07 pm
hours yesterday in the senate. he showed up as the attorney general to testify yesterday. he was not willing to go in front of the house judiciary and be cross-examined by committee staffers as though he were a witness to an ongoing investigation. - abusive and -- it was abusive and completely unnecessary. liz: according to barr, mr. mueller said there was nothing inaccurate in how he described it. because william barr in april he didn't say mueller himself was unhappy, that's somehow is perjury? i mean i think the american people the polls are showing they want to move on, ned. we love having you on. come back soon. >> thanks, liz. liz: great to see you. chinese president xi jinping planning a visit to the white house. that could mean a possible trade deal? edward lawrence is in washington with more. >> trade sources say china has opened several dates in mid june for president xi jinping to visit washington over a trade deal. this visit would be before the g 20 summit.
3:08 pm
this signals the chinese believe they are close enough to a trade agreement to schedule a trip to washington. now, white house economic advisor kudlow says that china admits now that the u.s. has a point that the chinese forced transfer of technology and steal intellectual property. trade sources say the chinese like the roll-off plan for the tariffs, as the chinese, benchmarks enacting the agreement. business leaders are pleased the president is finally taking on china. >> i talked to a lot of ceos, and nobody thinks that they are not a problem. they are an absolute challenge. it's an economic war. china's certainly fighting it. >> and the democratic front-runner for president, joe biden, with the opposite view. listen. >> they can't even figure how to deal with the -- the fact that they have this great division between the china sea and the mountains in the east -- i mean in the west. they can't figure out how they are going to deal with the corruption that exists within the system. i mean, you know, they are not
3:09 pm
bad folks, folks, but guess what? they're not competition for us. >> not everybody's happy about the china agreement, if it happens. chief negotiator for the eu warns a bilateral agreement between u.s. and china would undercut the world trade organization. if the w to collapses quote you could force individual concessions temporarily but can't have big global systemic changes that would again fit the whole world. other countries are looking at what concessions the u.s. could get with china for stop stealing technology, enforcing the transfer. we are a step closer. we will see after this week or next week coming up if we can actually have a deal. back to you. liz: edward lawrence in d.c. great to see you. coming up, president trump declares venezuela's communist dictator maduro must stop oppressing, murdering, torturing, imprisoning his own people. this as venezuelans now outraged over the hard left here in the

3:15 pm
contention for a seat on the federal reserve board. moore said today that he disagrees with trump on rate cuts. he says, he doesn't see the case for it right now, and he said also that that was not his reason for withdrawing for consideration. powell's comments on wednesday, j powell's the head of the federal reserve seemed to solidify the no rate cut view. back to you. liz: thank you. venezuelan human rights groups say four are now dead. 230 injured. 205 detained after two days of violent street protests against communist dictator nicolas maduro. fox news rich edson has the latest. rich? >> good evening, liz. the administration is trying to maintain pressure on the maduro regime and its allies. the state department says the only path forward for venezuela is for the military to back the opposition leader and the u.s. recognize president juan guaido. the state department
3:16 pm
spokesperson says quote the regime's internal fractures and divisions within maduro's own close circle were on full display yesterday for everyone to see. it is evidence maduro's control over his own regime has grown weaker and there are more in his inner circle that want him out. we know this to be true. any day could be his last. secretary of state mike pompeo says contested president nicolas maduro was ready this week to flee to cuba, when the russian government urged him to stay. russia denies pompeo's claim. the state department official says pompeo will likely meet next week and discuss venezuela with russian foreign minister sergey lavrov. both scheduled to attend an arctic council meeting in finland. pompeo spoke yesterday with lavrov and told him russia should end its support for maduro and its intervention is hurting the u.s. russia relationship. lavrov says the two sides will continue to talk though their positions on venezuela are incompatible. the administration also says there are thousands of cubans,
3:17 pm
security forces that are protecting nicolas maduro and his regime. cuba denies that though its government says if it wanted to have security forces it could because the legitimate government there according to cuba is the maduro regime. liz? liz: rich edson at the state department. congresswoman ilhan omar blaming the trump administration for the crisis in venezuela. >> i don't believe that interventions that are pushing for regime change are in the best interest of venezuela and the best interest of the american people. liz: here's what she also said quote a lot of the policies that we have put in place have kind of helped lead to the devastation in venezuela including sanctions. ilhan omar of course has a right to free speech but critics say this is about the trump white house pushing to stop the communist tyranny in venezuela that has led to devastation there. trump administration pushing for freedom and democracy, not just in communist venezuela but also
3:18 pm
cuba and nicaragua. venezuelans telling us that it's cuba that is flat out annihilating venezuela. communist cuba bullying is what's going on. that's ignited venezuelan communist bullying. venezuelans are applauding and cheering on the trump administration. national security advisor bolton has called them the triangle of terror and the three stooges of socialism. venezuela, cuba and nicaragua. joining me now is the former mayor of caracas, mayor, thank you very much for joining us. >> thank you, liz. liz: what is your response to the hard left here in the u.s. trying to blame the u.s. for what's going on? >> well, what's going on in venezuela, it's a direct result of socialist politics applied by hugo chavez and now nicolas maduro. the u.s. government is not to blame. on the contrary, we should thank the u.s. government for being
3:19 pm
probably the most involved in helping venezuelans recover liberty. let me tell you one thing about congresswoman omar. she is not a problem for the venezuelan people, but i'm afraid she with all due respect to the great people of the u.s., i should say, she's a problem and a threat for the u.s., for this great country. liz: why? why do you say that? >> well, because she is the seed of the socialism and the kind of policies that destroyed cuba and destroyed venezuela and is destroying nicaragua right now. it is the same kind of policies that destroyed a century ago the former soviet union. so it's just a seed. but she's not alone. she's with other people, and they are planting that seed. they will try to convince the u.s. population, basically the younger people, that socialism, it's a path to an ideal world of
3:20 pm
equality and justice, but not. it is a sure path to what venezuela is suffering right now, starvation, lack of food, medicine, and venezuelans dying by the day. liz: it is so painful to see what is happening in the streets of venezuela. the venezuelan people trying to fight for democracy for themselves, fight for freedom. the trump administration sees that. can you explain to our viewers how the socialist communists stole money out of venezuela through an oil company? >> well, absolutely. i mean, venezuela was one of the richer countries in the world and in the whole south america. i mean, most people thought it was impossible to break an oil country and an oil company, but these guys were able. they took all the money out of the company and then they used it even to -- [inaudible] -- the
3:21 pm
money. right now the company is under sanctions but not only for the corruption things but because it was used to launder money in the u.s. and europe and everywhere in the world. that's what's left from what was one of the greatest companies in the world just 20 years ago. liz: cuba is now in dire straits because oil supplies in venezuela. cuba's cheap oil has dropped two thirds -- i mean oil output in venezuela is at 1940's level. we know that the military, maduro has given them ownership and control of all commodities including the gold and all of the gemstone mines. the other issue too is we have three days of protests, juan guaido is fighting for freedom. what is your take on what's happening now? where is the military? will the military move to the side of freedom and democracy? >> well, let me start with the good news, liz, is that we just
3:22 pm
start a now phase of operation freedom in venezuela. and when we saw on tuesday very early in the morning with -- in the municipality where i was a mayor sometime ago, what we saw was the next step. maduro right now is weakened. he's not gone. but he's weakened. the u.s. government was able to get very close to him, to his closest circle, even his chief spy had to flee venezuela because he was dealing with the u.s. government to get out of madu maduro. maduro is in serious trouble right now. there will be a lot of things happening in venezuela the next few days. liz: we want to have you back on. thank you very much for joining us, sir. good to see you. >> thank you. liz: coming up a cruise ship reportedly owned by the church of scientology now quarantined in the caribbean after a case of

and we use a lot of that in our own industry. so i don't think it is a simplistic -- when it comes to the economic relationship, i don't think it's that simplistic. what i worry a lot more about is how did china get here? how did they get these factories? how did they get the capability? a lot of it they stole the technology and stole the intellectual property and that was our fault because we kind of left the window open and we were blind to this. for many years we had governments that wanted to look the other way because our economy was going good, and what they did is they ignored the bad behavior. now we're paying the price for that. the bad behavior has caught up with us. now they are an economic juggernaut and competing with us and their intent is adversarial and malicious to the united states. that's the problem. elizabeth: you know, i want to switch gears. i know that your organization has also looked into the union workers as well. joe biden says he's pro union worker, but we have got news reports coming in that joe biden's first fundraiser this year was hosted by a
3:52 pm
union-busting law firm. that union-busting law firm helps companies avoid and stop unions. so there's a little bit of a disconnect here, james. what's your take? >> well, you know, i don't think this administration is anti-union. actually the president got a lot of people that voted for him. he's against corrupt unions. he's against unions that manipulate their people, but i think for the average worker, the president has taken the right approach -- elizabeth: we're talking about joe biden here. >> yeah, but i'm talking about what the president has done. what he's done is he's rolled back the regulatory burden. he's dropped the tax rate, and that's created jobs for the union workers. so joe can say he's for the union, but what trump has actually done is created jobs. and i think that's where the debate needs to focus on. elizabeth: great to see you, sir. come back soon. >> thanks. elizabeth: coming up, bernie sanders is losing millennial
3:53 pm
hold faster than a minute. millennials saying sanders is a hypocrite. we will tell you why. that's coming up. delivery drones or the latest phones. $4.95. no matter what you trade, at fidelity it's just $4.95 per online u.s. equity trade. no matter what you trade, at fidelity patients that i see about dry mouth. they feel that they have to drink a lot of water. medications seem to be the number one cause for dry mouth. i like to recommend biotene. it replenishes the moisture in your mouth. biotene definitely works.

3:56 pm
elizabeth: millennials are bernie sanders biggest fans but they are turning away from bernie sanders. campus reform asked students at the university of new hampshire if they knew that their favorite socialist is really a one percenter millionaire. watch. >> i mean, i had no idea, but now that you say that,
3:57 pm
definitely, i mean -- yeah, definitely. >> definitely sounds hypocritical to be advocating for those type of things but also being a millionaire. >> constantly preaching about, you know, that billionaires, millionaires being the problem but he himself is one, so i can definitely sympathize with that view. >> there's a lot of social inequities created by the income gap. i mean, he's part of that. elizabeth: let's bring in the hill's contributor and author, great writer, kristen tate. your reaction to this, kristen. great to see you. >> great to be with you, liz. bernie's rallying cry against the 1 percent is hypocritical given that he's a member of its ranks. the socialist and his wife are worth around 2 million dollars, and they own three homes, one of which is a $600,000 lake front house. another which is a row house in washington, d.c., just steps from the capitol. now there's nothing wrong with being wealthy or accumulating money. i mean, that's part of the american dream.
3:58 pm
but it sure does make bernie look like a phony while he constantly rails against millionaires and billionaires while he himself is raking in millions, largely off the backs of taxpayers. so i'm not surprised that this is the reaction we're seeing from millennials when they learn the facts. elizabeth: you know, millennials are waking up. they are kind of getting woke to bernie sanders, kristin; right? >> exactly right. and by the way, liz, at the same time, the sanders only paid an effective tax rate of 26% last year, that's far lower than the top income tax bracket of 37%. but he wants to raise taxes on all of us, including millennials to pay for his socialist dreams. his healthcare plan would cost 32 trillion dollars. that's going to require tax hikes across the board. elizabeth: including the middle and lower income brackets. >> exactly right. elizabeth: the question is, why isn't bernie paying more now, paying 50%, that's what fox news
3:59 pm
martha maccallum bret baier asked him. quickly, bernie sanders talks about income inequality; right? but the data he uses sets aside all the government programs that the hard left wants; right? the data he uses, the number that he uses does not include medicaid, medicare, food stamps, all of it. he sets aside all the government programs that the hard left wants to fix income inequality but then doesn't acknowledge it, kristin, right? >> that's exactly right. i also think it is important for millennials to know that sanders only paid 3.4% of their wealth last year, their earnings in charity. this is man who says he's so concerned about income inequality and caring for the poor, but he wants to do that using other people's money, working people's money in the private sector. he has no interest clearly in taking his own assets and wealth and giving it to the people he says need it most. elizabeth: kristin tate, come back soon. we love having you on. >> thank you very much.
4:00 pm
elizabeth: thank you so much for having us in your home. thank you very much for watching. lou dobbs is next right here on the fox business network. have a good evening. lou: good evening, everybody. for more than two years, the radical dems have done their worst, spewing constantly the worst they could imagine about our president, creating false and vile narratives while carrying out a conspiracy to block out only the trump agenda but through their efforts and constant barrage of lies by the radical dems, the deep state and the complicit left wing national media they sought to overthrow the presidency of donald trump. and now, those same radical dems brimming with evil and venom dripping from their lying mouths are attacking the
