it's about the battleground states they will need to win in 2020. new data showing yes, the rich are paying more and revenue is pouring into the federal government and the state. and in two month's time we'll have the longest expansion in u.s. history. but the democrats are in danger of running off of a cliff and lose in a landslide. remember this happened to barry gold water and walter mo mondal. president trump say the report exonerates him. democrats say fine, let mueller testify. this as the republicans say how come nobody on the democrat side has read the full unredacted sections of the mueller report. here's what's going on. william barr has given top democrats a version of the mueller report that's 98.5% un redacted. why not read it. why hold william barr in contempt. are democrats more interested in spectacle than information.

finally, iran rattling its sabers, backing terrorists targeting israelis with hundreds of hi missiles. that stoshry for you tonight. i'm elizabeth mcdonald. "the evening edit" starts right now. ♪ ♪ . welcome took the show. you're watching the fox business network. you've got to keep it here for your business knew. we've got breaking developments from edward lawrence at the white house. >> the chinese responsibilitying to the threats of traifs by diggintariffs bydigging in. the vice prenier i premier is go lead the talks but not going to be the title of special envoy. he's still the top lead negotiator on this. the point person. a spokesman for the chinese

foreign ministry says he's talking about concessions and compromise but for the u.s. listen. >> translator: we hope that the u.s. can still work together with china and meet us halfway, address each other's legitimate concerns and strive to reach a mutual agreement and win-win on the basis of mutual respect and equality. >> this is the language that china used at the end of last year when there was a trade impasse with the united states. tariffs to go up 12:01 a.m. on friday morning. robert lighthizer said in the latest draft china walked back and took back the concessions they had made over the previous sessions in multiple sections of this draft. some democrats up democrats supe president saying we need to stand up to china now. >> the bottom line is china will take advantage of us decade in decade out unless we're strong with them. that's what we have to do. and it will help america in the

long run. >> so tariffs will go up on $200 billion worth of chinese goods from 10% to 25% starting on friday, parking meters, rafts, win windshields also. the u.s. trade representative will start to process to add 25% tariffs on everything else that china imports. liz: thank you for your report. let's get to an update on your money. the dow is down 473 points. more than 500 points in a drop that lasted over two days. but strategists are saying do not slam the door and get out the nail gun. it's not happening. the wheels are not coming off of the markets. there's a lot of liquidity. traders are saying look past the trade drama. this 2% is normal volatility. what's abnormal is straight up hockey-stick action. jerry willis is at the new york

stock exchange with more. sorry. forgive me. we want to get to you. jerry is detained right now. we want to get right to michael missst pillsbury for what is going on with china. he is one of the world's leading experts on china. is this tough line the president is taking, is that the way to go, sir? >> yes, it is. the president is reacting to two different things, liz. one is the reneging, he used the word in his tweet, renegotiate by china. this is bad faith in negotiation to give up something, agree to it and come back and revisit the whole thing. that's one thing he made clear in his tweet on sunday. there's a second part of it, which i addressed this morning in a long article about why the tariffs are a good thing for a temporary period. there's a fear that china is going to cheat on the trade agreement, that they have no real incentives not to cheat, to go straight, if you will.

so tariffs give the opportunity to china to earn their way out of the tariffs by complying with commitmentments they've made. this is an unusual new idea president trump is using. it's not the old kind of tariffs that alexanders hamilton proposed to protect the american industry, have tariffs for 100 years. it's not a tariff that's designed to protect steel or aluminum. china can earn its way out of tariffs fairly quickly. this is a way to get china's attention. and i was very pleased that they're coming, the talks will be held on thursday and friday. the market, you know -- the idea of buying on a dip could pay offhand somely if thoffoffhandst compensates and jumps up 500 points or more.

liz: has china been -- i think you pointed out. has china been busy in these last three weeks trying to weaken the deal? >> those who say that i think are referring correctly to chinese activities that have started back in early march actually, more than two months ago. to not have the concessions they made be final and not have them very well known. these talks are secret as you know. 150-page text. not one word has leaked. on the chinese side it's possible that the hawks didn't really understand the degree of concessions that had been made. and so they got a hold of the whole 150 pages instead of a summary and they began to realize that these are serious concessions president trump has got out of china. so maybe they got a chance to take them back recently. now they've seen that the punishment president trump is giving them means don't do this again. if you make a concession, stick

by it. the american side made concessions too. one can be optimistic about the talks but both sides are practiced, tough negotiators. i think president trump is better. but the chinese are no slackers when it comes to tough negotiating tactics. liz: will china give up the hacking and espionage. i think you pointed out that economic crime really does pay well. >> they are only going toive get up if there are strong incentives like tariffs to be taken off. the chinese built a model i've written a book about that's unique in the world. they're still a state-controlled economy. many people think they have grown so much in ho years, they must have a free market. that's simply not correct. they need these practices, the theft, the espionage, subsidies, they need it for they model. some reformers want to change that and that's what president trump is working on. that's where lighthizer made it clear in its testimony.

liz: should we name them them a manipulator? will that get it done? >> it's controversial in our system. you name a country a manipulator of surgeon we certain stipulations can be put on them. some people don't want to go all the way and call them the m ma p manipulator. there's an issue they can earn their way out of that too. we name them a manipulator, they stop and we take it away. this is the dynamic that president trump is trying to pursue to get at china. he wrote a book and used a wonderful phrase good china and bad china. we want good china. liz: thank you. come back soon. we did lose jerry willis at the big board but than thankfule have her back now.

>> liz, markets may have staged a bit of a rally at the end of trading today. the dow finishing 473 points, the s&p down 48, nasdaq down 159. 59 its worse the dow was down 648 points, a percentage drop of 2.45% as traders focus on the possibility of higher tariffs for china. and of course the companies that fell today the most were the ones that had the most business in china, apple, boeing, home depot, goldman sachs, nose stocks responsible for half of the dow's fall today. there wasn't a single s&p sector that finished in the green. i want to inform you about lyft, reporting a loss of $9.02 a share against expectations of $1.81 loss. that's the biggest gap i've ever seen in my reporting history.

ak revenue per rider was higher than expected as well. shares down after hours as you might expect. liz, back to you. liz: coming up, vice president michael pence talking tough on venezuela, trying to stop the communist collapse and help the country. the vice president aimed his remarks at cuba, iran and russia saying stop meddling in venezuela. we'll take you where no other news network has been before. inside a tent camp in colombia across the border from venezuela. it's going to show the devastating collapse of communism and what's happening to venezuelans. president trump trying to hammer out an immigration deal with the senators at the white house. while down at the border chaos rained supreme. new reports now of a new type of migrant fraud that's being used to try to get across and how the drug cartels are exploiting an overwhelmed border patrol.

that story coming up.

liz: welcome back. you're watching the fox business network. vice president pence had tough words for iran, cuba and russia saying stop meddling in

venezuela. let's get to rich in washington with the latest. >> good evening, liz. vice president mike pence is publicly offering venn wa sayint the united states is lifting economic sanctions against maduro's intelligence chief who switched last week to support juan guaido. pence saying they would extend the relief to others who abandon maduro. >> we hope that the action that our nation is taking today will encourage other to follow the exam. of general christopher figaro and members of military who have taken a stand of the constitution. >> vice president pence also suggested that the u.s. would sanction the 25 magistrate of

the pro-maduro supreme court if they continue supporting maduro. though the associated press reports that the venezuela supreme court has opened criminal action against seven opposition figures for treason. last year guaidthe vice presideo announced the u.s. navy will deploy a hospital ship to the caribbean this june for six months. he also called out russia and cuba for their support of the regime. guaido is considering asking the u.s. to launch -- liz: president trump just wrapping up a meeting with republican senators to try to hammer out a fix for the border once and forall. this as new reports coming in, an appalling new tactic that illegals are using to cross the border.

smugglers actually quote renting out children to cross at a cost of $130 per child, according to local reports. federal officials have caught 3100 fame family claims over the last year. that fraud is rising. 700 fake claims of families in a sector of arizona since last october alone. also migrants claiming to be children when they're really adults. now when they're caught they get a few weeks detainment and they're let go. as many as a quarter of the migrant families are fraudulent. even the "the new york times" now admitting this about the border, quote, president trump is right, there is a crisis at the southern border. something needs to be done. soon. joining me now is oversight and reform member, he is congressman michael clout of texas. great to have you have. thank you for joining us. your reaction at the fraud at the border and the white house meeting today. >> this is something that we in south texas has known has gn

going obeengoing on for a long t escalated that we're having to take notice of it as a nation. the action could have happened earlier but it's great that the president called for this to be a national emergency situation. it's become quite the crisis. liz: let's get to the next question. this' so chaos that border patrol is redeploying workers in el paso and other places, they actually have to shut down inspections and the drug cartels are taking advantage of that chaos. >> yeah, the cartels -- the big story is that the cartels are taking advantage of american generosity for years and it's reached an epidemic standpoint here. as cartels with completely no regard for human life, customs and border patrol released a video where they dropped two young ladies into razor wire so our guys would leave thary post. our men and women on the border are prioritizing life.

they go to protect life. meanwhile, you can watch on the video as they just -- individuals cross the border on the open check point. this is the minimum of what they're doing. they have absolutely no disregard. the cartels, the way they view it is they can get a kilo of coke over, they can sell that once. if they can get a human life over, they can sell that many times. and so this is how lit ol f a value thelittle of avalue they e and why we need to address this. liz: el this year i like your reaction to has the democrat governor of new mexico michelle grisham said. she called it a charade of border fear mongering. your reaction to that. >> well, you know, as you mentioned withementioned, the "k times" is saying the president is right, this is a national emergency. people who months ago was calling this a manufactured crisis are having to realize this is a national emergency. we need dramatic action at the

border. unfortunately all of the good solutions we've pasted the point of that. it's going to take dramatic action at this point. it's going to be tough. we have to do it to get criminal of the border. liz: how do you get the central american government to change their economic and governance models? >> do what the founder suggested and us to be a city on a hill. we cannot solve the world, heal the world through immigration. 3.5 billion people live on less than $6 a day. and so what we can do is be a shining light for the world to see and let them know if you live by the same principles our nation was founded on you can experience the same prosperity. with what's going on in venezuela, there's no more dramatic example of the change in shift that happenses when you cease to embrace principles of liberty and embrace socialism. for us to be a shining city on a hill that stands for the truths that our founders put in the

constitution and the declaration of independence is really is the answer here. liz: let's get you up to date another guilty plea today in the big college admissions cheating scandal, the biggest in american history. he allegedly paid 400,000 dollars to get his child into georgetown as a fake tennis recruit. now prosecutors will recommend 18 months in prison for him ana 95,000 dollars fine. okay. next we move on to amazon's alexa. you know it's listening to you but did you know that amazon keeps its recordings of what you say? ditto for apple's siri and also until recently google's voice assistant. the tech giants claim it is for training but critics say this is creepy open one privacy watchdog says it's so bad with amazon's alexa it could make the east german secret police blush. reports come in that investigators are probing pilot

error in the deadly moscow plane crash that killed 41. among the key questions, why do the pilots fly into a heavy storm front and why did they reportedly land at an unusually high rate of speed. miami air international now offering passengers on the plane that skidded off of the runway at naval air station at jacksonville and into a river, they're offering a goodwill gesture of $2,500 in refund checks. rescuers in both saved all 143 people on board the flight but three pets did die. finally, 100 workers at cnn taking voluntary byout packages. the network has about 4,000 workers. the network saying these are not layoffs. now cnn's ratings taking a major hit. april was its lowest rated month among total viewers in almost four years. primetime viewers plummeting 26% versus the same a year ago.

next, the 2020 democrats campaigning hard against a trump economy now facing a new gigantic obstacle. we're going to take you to the battleground states and show you what's happening there. plus, what to deal with the democrats saying this is obama's economy and not trumps. and later in the show, iran now posing multiple and very real serious threats from supporting terrorists attacking israel to reportedly threatening servicemen and women from the u.s. in the middle east. we've got the latest there. coming up. ng, like my bike, and my calves.

liz: welcome back. you're watching the fox business network. we're coming into the bottom of the hour. critics are saying that the 2020 democrats are now campaigning as a walter mondale raise your taxes democrats. they're trying to run against trump's booming economy. but unemployment is dropping in

battleground states that they need to win in toto. and in two months' time the u.s. will have the longest expansion in history. the president inherited a flat-lined economy, plummeting middle class income. that's what he inherited. >> you're exactly right. and we've seen a transformation from there. unemployment historic lows across the economy. but the story not being told is how this great economy is benefiting the poorest americans. if you look at wage increases for the lowest income americans, they're almost double the wage increases that we're seeing for the highest income americans. unemployment for subgroup of americans, hispanics, women, people without a college degree are all lower than we've seen them.

the economy is benefiting all americans. liz: the country has a record open job openings. 7.5 million job openings versus 5.5 million jobless. i want your take on. this. cacan catescandidates get rid ox bill. >> o first thing i do is repeal the tax cut. liz: 83% of americans got tax cuts. the 2020 democrats here are wrong. the times sayin saying that most americans got tax cuts and also "the washington post" is saying the same. they gave joe biden four pa neck pinocchios. what's your take on that? >> the heritage foundation shows exactly what you're saying, that average americans got a significant tax cut in every

congressional district in every state across the country and repealing the tax cuts means taking the tax cuts away. average family of four would expect a tax increase of around 3,000 dollars for just one year. but even more detrimental is what that means over a ten-year period. because of lower wages, because of the higher taxes, that same family of four is looking at something like 46,000 dollars of lost take home pay if the tax cuts are repealed. that's a big hurt for your typical family. liz: having covered the irs in taxes for years. the dirty open secret in washington is that the upper brackets get the tax cuts because they make the most and they pay the most -- let me back that up. they pay the most in tax cuts. and the tax cuts made the system more progressive. the rich are paying more. the top 1% pay an astonishing 24% of taxes. the washington post says the top 20% say 95% of all taxes. your take on that. >> you're right.

the top income earner in the united states pay the lion's share of the income tox. but i think what's often not talk about is the tax cuts where it gave the largest tax cuts to the lowest income of americans. as a percent of the taxes they otherwise pay. some of the poorest congressional districts got tax cuts 15% of what they otherwise would have paid. that's a tremendous addition to someone's take home pay. liz: and the federal government is pulling in more in fed r58 tack revenues and 41 states saw tax revenues rise. there is economic grows. growth that will offset the tax cuts. final word, adam. >> when you cut taxes and when you decrease regulation, we know that those are the things that grow the economy. and that's what we're seeing. an economy that's benefiting every single american. liz: all right. it's either believe me or believe your lyin' eyes.

adam, thank you so much. don't take your eyes off of the big picture. the economy is on fire. gdp is up, job rate at the lowest since 1969. more americans say that the president is doing a good job with the economy. plenty of dimms say this is obama's economy. and later on in the show, in spite of the cease fire between the militants, president netanyahu says the battle is not over. that story coming up. ♪

liz: okay. we're iming to give you a preview of what you're going to see in 2020. it is full-throttle politics. a lot of top-spin narratives without the facts. despite president trump turning an economy that was bedridden into a boom, the you didn't build that democrat democrats ro give the president any credit,

even trying to give the credit to president obama. >> the economy is doing well and i don't have to give trump any credit. i'm sure we'll take any krit that he wants. what we're look at is a ten-year rebounded from the wall street crash of 2008. >> there are $2 trillion texas cut last year. did you feel it? did you get anything from it? of course not. >> we have had policies in place starting with president obama that have aided that ror i. >recover i.>> i love that trumpg credit for a recovery that started under obama. >> gop opt him for 2020 was premawpremature. george your take on this. >> every president out of the office trying to take credit for the economy that continues to search on after they leave the office. but the reality is it was the most anemic recovery and it was fading fast as he left office. the tax cut tremp administration

has recharged growth and the statistics prove that up. it's clear for anybody objective. but the political hacks and candidates are out there trying to get obama credit which he doesn't deserve. liz: the recession ended five months after president obama took office. he was in there for eight years. a rare thing happened in u.s. history. u.s. gdp growth never exceeded 3%. i was below 3% for 11 straight years thanks to the obama years. and now manufacturing jobs at generational highs under trump. up four times under trump versus only 109,000 that president obama created in the last 27 months in office. the president created nearly 500,000 manufacturing jobs. >> and annual growth was under 2% when obama left office. it's similar to when george h.w. bush left office and president clinton took over. we had a shallow recession as

president bush was running for reelection and no new taxes coups him a reelection. and soon after that the economy picked up steam after as part of president bush's tough choices. he should get credit but not president obama. liz: obama doubled the debt and only got 2% growth. there's a thing that happened periodically in american politics it's when the extremists in the party run the show. that leads to landslides. lbj got three-quarters of the vote whenning in a landside. walter mondale lost in landslides. and you have head lines like this, times up for capitalism. what's going on in this country, george? >> people are looking at the way the country has been aneekic cli recovering during the obama years and are questioning the way we do things and they're questioning at precisely the

wrong time. because president trump has gone back to a full-throated capitalism and getting the government out of the private sector businesses, the life blood and strength of the american people. we're off to the races. they're questioning the way we do things at precisely the wrong time. it's amazing to watch. liz: to your point, the battleground states, we just reporting news and information tonight, the batment ground states that the democrats need to win in 2020 record low unemployment in ohio, michigan, pennsylvania, wisconsin, we're talking 4% or lower. and as we've been reporting since last week, the stars are aligned for the economy. it's going to have an historic, the longest expansion in u.s. history come july. here's the thing, george. i want you to react to this. socialism, the policies are killing the democrats. a university poll shows that 57% of americans say socialism is not compatible with american

values. your take on that. >> those who forget history are doomed to repeat it. and the z and millennial generations have fos forgotten. we've got to get away from the myopic looking at the current state of situation and not looking at history and how awsm those policies can be for all americans. the one thing that's so brilliantly inspiring about all of this is for years we've decried how the poor, the disadvantaged minority americans have been left behind by the capital lis tick economy. whereas in the current times african-american, hispanic americans, asian americans all record low amounts of unemployment, record levels of employment, record high income on average. so this rising tide of the trump economy is carrying everybody up with it and it's something to celebrate and the democrats are

running away with that and lying about it as fast as they can. liz: women and teenager unemployment trending lower too. george, thank you so much for joining us. great to see you. >> thaingts thanks liz. liz: democrats vote tomorrow on a markup bill on whether to hold attorney general william barr in contempt for not handing over all of the full unredacted mueller report. he's turned over 98.5% unredacted. what are the democrats really up to. tensions flaring between the u.s. and iran. the uss abraham lincoln carrier group is on the way to the region. we'll bring you the latest from there coming up. ♪

secretary of state arriving in a surprise visit earlier today in baghdad iraq. to your point, here is what -- we cover business here in the markets. 19 million-barrels of oil per day flow through the straight. iranian petro chemical passes through the same strait. would iran shoot their own feet off and cut their own throat if they shut the height? strait? what do you think? >> they actually hurt themselveses if they do this. the difference between the iranian navy shutting down the strait and a designated terrorist organization shutting down the strait gives the military more options. that's what we're seeing with the movement of the airier group into the region and a bomber capability into the region as well. liz: we know that iran back groups really attacked our service members, responsible for killing hundreds of american service members from 2003 to 2011. but then we have iran on the

same side against the fight against isis. your take on that. >> well in the fight against isis in iraq, they literally punished the su sunni populatio. in syria we've yet to see iranian and their proxies take on isis. but, you know, iran is doing a lot in the region, they're a destabilizing force and we need to counter that. liz: i need your reaction to the iron dome. israel saying that the iron dome worked, that it shut down more than 250 rockets shot from the gaza strip by islamic jihadis. whawhat's your take on israel' n dome. does it work? >> it does work. they decide which rockets are being guided and could hit civilian areas or infrastructure. they prioritize those rockets. a lot of the rockets are dummy rockets and they tend to let those go into dead spees. the credit call component is to

identify the guided missile es and take them out afternoon allow the other to go without excelling resources. liz: senator mitch mcconnell asking democrat to stop with the groundhog day spectacle of relitigating the election. this as william barr gave top democrats in congress 98.5% of the mueller report available to read but they have yet to read it. we debate that next. the question we're going to debate are the democrats more interested in political show boating than the facts. we're going to debate that next. ♪ in a multitude of countries, where we get to know the people

it doesn't feed into a political active removal of the president. >> the debate is that it totally cleared the present because it mentions instances of potential obstruction of justice. i want to get to this, attorney general william barr didn't make 99 percent of the report available to democrats but apparently they have not read it get paid why they keep demanding more and what are they complaining about? >> because they wanted from the television and the media and they want to continue the circus. they're not interested in the truth. they are interested in removing the president. the problem is they don't have any grounds to do it. and the mueller report did clear the president. the things that robert mueller decided he wasn't going to decide were decided by the attorney general and the deputy attorney general. as a matter of course there is no criminal liability by the president or by the justice department. quickly cleared him of so-called conspiracy with the russians.
