quote - train and prepare today joe biden says the democrats did build and blue-collar middle-class voted for donald trump says you are right.we will show you the blue-collar boom fueled by the trump economy. the best time in 50 years to get a job. american manufacturing is finally back in business. a show of force with b-52 bombers in the middle east along with a carrier strike force. sending a clear message to iran, do not threaten american troops. will asked the former israeli ambassador about this and more. also tonight, a rare victory for donald trump on the board of policies from the ninth circuit court. we will break that down as immigration court backlog is now bigger than the population of detroit. and it's becoming one of the worst congress is ever for new laws enacted. running on half the rate of prior congress. and d.c. is locked down in gridlock over the miller probe. the house judiciary committee

voted to hold william barr in contempt. this is democrats show their cards. the democrats fear if they quote - do not impeach donald trump he will get reelected. this just in, reports of the senate finance committee have subpoenaed donald trump jr. over his prior testimony connected to the russia probe. i am elizabeth macdonald, "the evening edit" starts right now. >> let's get right to edward lawrence at the white house with the latest in a fight with china.reporter: they tell us that they have binding language about dealing with the enforcement of the agreement across multiple sections. this is at the heart of what the u.s. wants to make sure the china follows through with agreements. the official notice was filed today to raise tariffs on $200 billion with the chinese imports from 10 percent to 25

percent starting at 12 a1a m friday morning. the chinese vowing to retaliate. listen. >> it is not the first time that the u.s. has made such a threat.chinese side is also expressed position and attitude many times before. position and attitude has not changed. >> that is that they could take countermeasures based on what the u.s. is doing. although the trade talks are still on tomorrow, the delegation will be under 50 people. often the original 100 scheduled to come. the larger delegation include department heads that actually enforce sections of the trade agreement. the white house press secretary indicated the chinese do want to make a deal with republicans on capitol hill. standing on the president saying that china needs a deal also. >> we are seeing this move as we speak in regards to moving out of china into vietnam and other areas to avoid the tariffs. i think we can get through this but it is in both of our

interest. china and america, stay at the table, negotiate in good faith and get this deal done for the american people. reporter: tomorrow will be a very big day for the trade negotiations. delegation from china will be here tomorrow and friday. the treasury secretary says in order to go forward china needs to put back the concessions they removed and negotiate on the last 10 percent of the deal that is just left to be done in negotiating in good faith. this is 1/11 hour deal removal from a negotiation deal that robert lighthizer that was already basically done. this is a very unique situation with the chinese. liz: 11th hour. tit-for-tat going on. thank you so much. china expert tells us last night that china does spend tens of billions of dollars on its state owned industries who he says loan the world took part and copycat everything in order to dominate. let's bring in point bridge capitol ceo, hao lambert. good to see you.

>> great to be here. liz: do you think we will get a deal tomorrow? >> i do not think we will get a deal tomorrow. i don't know the chinese were thinking. they spent six months negotiating peer donald trump ready pushed back raising the tariffs. they were supposed to go into effect to repay the negotiate six months. they think they have a deal everything is written out and ready to go. then they come in and completely got it. it's amazing for the present will implement 25 percent tariffs. i think it will probably happen friday. liz: j.p. morgan they say 80 percent of the deal. we will see 24 percent leaving on tens of worth of consumer goods. do you think this is a down payment, a correct move by the president to do it right now? >> absolutely i think it's the right move. let's look at the map pretty starting $200 billion of products. 25 percent tariffs.

a big problem. i don't think it will stop. even if we had a deal you cannot run a company, think of it this way. you are trying to manage a business and you can all of a sudden walk in one day and have tyrus put on goods because china violated their agreement. you can risk that so you will have production moved out of

china.i don't think will stop so it's bad for china. liz: final question. what can the president or the trump administration give up in order to get a deal, to get china to sign off on it? >> i don't know, that's a tough question. i would say this. i think china has miss concluded the president. they think is the political and he wants a deal for politics. he doesn't, he is a true believer. he realizes china has been ripping us off for decades. they will have to join the rest of the world and stop acting the way are doing stealing ip and doing things out there with cyber theft, massive cyber theft. they had to stop and they cannot subsidize but is asking them to change your entire structure the way they do business. that will be really difficult i just don't see it happening by tomorrow. liz: thank you for joining us. the president is about to tour damage from hurricane michael. at tyndall air force base in florida before holding a make america great again rally tonight.

fox news david spunt is on the ground with details. reporter: good evening, good to be with you. the president just arrived at the air force base. not far from where i'm standing in panama city about 15 or 20 minutes ago we have video of him departing air force one. he was joined with senator rick scott and marco rubio. tyndall air force base, an area that was severely hit by hurricane michael back in october, several hundred buildings in and around the area basically completely destroyed. the president will be getting updated briefing on that. he tweeted before leaving florida today from the white house, getting ready to leave for one of my favorite places. giving billions of dollars for the devastation caused by hurricane michael even though the democrats don't want money to go there we are getting it done. the president not taking any questions before leaving washington, before boarding air force one which he typically does sometimes. he also made several headlines today.

we learned that he will invoke executive privilege concerning attorney general william barr and democrats plan to hold barr intent of congress for not testifying. also the president announced stronger sanctions on iran. they are sending a carrier strike to detect american troops in the middle east. again, this started behind me tonight at 7:00 central, 8:00 eastern time. first make america great again rally in the area for 2019. the panhandle is an area he's been many time. we expect them to talk about recovery and what is going on with the attorney general. the big news in washington and other parts of the country. liz: david, we will take developments under that make america great again rally. we will monitor throughout the hour. thank you for the report. on our parent company, fox really delivering solid profits the first earning since they sold entertainment assets to

up with him attacking those who create jobs like small businesses. watch.>> wall street bankers, hedge fund managers, they did not build the country, you built the country. the middle class was built by -- if you contributed to success, the enterprise you work with, you have to share in the benefits. the only people who benefit are the people who in fact are viewed as quote - the job creators. liz: okay. job creators include small businesses. and the folks who benefited from the trump economy would agree with joe biden it is a big blue-collar boom. again, helped by small businesses. unemployment dropping in battleground states that democrats need to win a 2020. too much time the u.s. will have the longest expansion in u.s. history. let's bring in the owner of at least two works. you are a bad guys act because

you are a job creator. >> liz, you know i've been called a lot of things but being a bad guy for being a job creator is not the right title for me. it is really unfortunate, i think this president, he brought together some policies and trade reform, tax reform. and this regulatory relief and he's doing amazing things for the economy particularly manufacturing. truly, if the president brought about world peace and solve world hunger single-handedly they still would not give him credit. it is an extension of never trump. liz: think tanks are picking up what we been catching. we sort of mainstream to the left, the brookings institute site rapid job growth, they've nearly doubled 2.6 percent last year from the year prior. and do you know what is interesting? democrat job creation not so state-of-the-art, manufacturing jobs now generational high. up four times under donald trump versus less 20 for much ofpresident obama was 's time

in office. >> the data is there and it shows the job growth. you just cannot lie about the numbers. they are right there. and you know, i think if the policies continue we will see more and more job growth in manufacturing. these are the middle-class jobs were missing, these are the jobs that were missing, the one percentage point of economic growth that was missing under president obama. kudos to you president trump! you found it and brought it back to the us. it was over in china. thank you for bringing it back here. liz: must take inside the obama white house. president obama joked about his job policies in 2014 saying quote - we got to move away from what my labor secretary calls quote - train and pray. train workers first and then you hope to get a job. here's what happens. president obama made joe biden his job training czar. and in order to create jobs he said joe, go take charge of the 42 go nowhere government job programs after six years no

jobs, obama white house spent either more taxpayer money on a federal study that figured out what happened and it belly flops. outright failures. here is what the hell found. the study found the programs ineffective, did not raise earnings, offer no services for jobseekers or employers. that is what was going on inside the obama white house in terms of trying to create jobs. your take? >> yeah well, you can train but if there is no demand for the jobs what are you training for? i think that was the problem. the obama ministration missed the point of, you need to have the manpower and supply chains coming back here. we are a small manufacturer refuted big local supply chains. we watched for decades of supply chains went to asia. i think that is what joe biden and obama and many presidents before them missed.they were drinking the free-trade kool-aid and it was poison. we were watching the wealth creation and our growth and jobs go over to asia.

you can train people but train them for what when there is no demand for those jobs. so again, i think you know, mr. joe biden and missing the point when he says these things. and i think quite rightly, he's demonstrated he's pretty much been asleep at the wheel. he's claimed that china is not even a competitor of ours. it would be a tragedy to see him back in office. china wants to dominate the key industries in the world and not only of their increasing military spending, annexing territory in the south china seas. they are very much a competitor. liz: what's really interesting, you know the federal government puts a lot on the 41 states including increased medicaid spending under obama care. they got demolished under the obama policy. those with studies routinely show. but now they have recovered from the great recession. by the way, that recession ended five months after obama took office. again, the 41 states announcing record intake of income tax revenues. your take on that?

>> well that is a wonderful thing and i think they should continue seeing that. that is how it is supposed to work. i am not opposed to paying taxes. most business owners are are happy to pay our fair share when we are profitable. i think again, it is bringing demand back so we can be profitable. we can go jobs and we will see all the wonderful economic benefits like increased tax revenue. it is a wonderful thing. still great to have you. great to see you, come back soon. >> see you soon. liz: other fast-moving stories we are tracking free tonight. the city of houston now reeling after being hit hard with flash flooding. more could be on the way. reports of massive sinkholes, 182,000 gallons of sewage overflowing.hundreds stuck in area schools in houston due to flooded roads. we will keep you on the latest there. yesterday several severe thunderstorms spun off at least 17 tornadoes in texas and oklahoma. that massive storm system

ambassador to the us, welcome, ambassador. >> thank you, liz. liz: what is your take on the b-52 bombers heading over there? >> i think this is the most effective way to deter iran. they are masters of bluffing with manipulation and cheating but to an counterforce, certainly superior force, no sustainability but those with the will to use it. they will back off and i don't think there have any other option. once the europeans joined the sanctions then they will really have to come up to the negotiation table and change the very principles of the jcpoa which is very salty and gave iran -- it was faulty and gave iran unfair advantages.

liz: iran human rights abuses. the u.s. now says they will not be held by the regime nuclear blackmail. there are reports of their threatening u.s. troops and if they threatened to pull out of the deal, was a reaction to all of what i just asked about? >> iran is no match. i think certainly to u.s. capability by the way, they were no match to israeli capabilities in syria. they have suffered heavily, not only in terms of material loss and they are terrorists and their soldiers but also in terms of i would say, reputation and in the middle east that have been rendered almost like a paper tiger.i do not think they will be moving head-on against the u.s. or not even israel. this is why they are using proxies. and they have been very good at using proxies.

there it is hezbollah or hamas or the palestinian islamic jihad. i think this probably would be there i was say, their corporation and also using maybe their terror squad.they had been using in latin america or europe and other places. liz: talk to us about the and t airstrikes over the weekend. we start reports at least 200 rockets out of the gaza strip were intercepted. hamas is saying no, they beat the israeli iron dome. they are flooding the zone with rockers and that is how they beat it. talk to us about that? >> well, the hamas fired 650 rockets on israel in less than 24 hours. they tried to saturate the skies but again, most of the rockets were intercepted by the iron dome. which really, kept israel

having this leverage. not having to really use excessive force and penetrating into gaza. so with this iron force, not only is strategic defense but it is also alleviate some ground force operations and doing it more -- here we really have to think our best friend and ally, united states of america. i think the technology that we developed together with america is saving a lot of israelis and american troops all over the world. liz: former israeli ambassador, thank you for joining us and coming on. i appreciate it. >> thank you. liz: coming up, the present long criticized what he says are unfair immigration rulings by the ninth circuit court of appeals. the same court just gave his white house a rare victory on the border. we will tell you what the court ruled. plus, and broiled infighting.

let's go to venezuela. venezuelans are so desperate to flee the communist collapse they are they are making an illegal and dangerous tractor the desert. they are dealing with the rapid influx of tens of thousands of venezuelans. ellison barber has more. reporter: the un says this region has one of the highest concentrations per capita of venezuelan refugees and migrants.

this is a park where many venezuelan migrants are forced to sleep on the ground. often with their young children. you can see some of the kids behind me. but if you look up in the trio see cardboard and mattresses. all of this we are told by the people are essentially betting that they're keeping here so they can come back and sleep during the night. if we go a little more this week and see some people are sleeping and staying. we met one woman who was pregnant the says she's been sleeping out here with her other child. the people here said have no choice but to sleep here. they want to go back to venezuela. but they do not have workwear options there. migrants have been so far pretty pleased to see us and happy to talk. they want the us, the world to know their stories. the venezuelan police not so much. at a bridge earlier this week we saw police standing guard. they stand there every day. anytime we were within eyesight they pulled out a cell phone and filmed us. we of course film them.

i went to the borderline is because of the could without stepping into venezuela and i asked a guard if i could cross. he would not speak to me but the answer was no. when we talked to venezuelans and i asked her if they support maduro or juan guaido, many will not give a direct answer. instead, they would talk about wanted to have food to feed the children and they say right now they can't do that. the names they give us of the names of their children, not the names of politicians. they say that they need change. they want freedom. reporting in columbia, ellison barber, fox news. liz: thank you for your journalism there, ellison barber. a big win for president trump. from the ninth circuit court of appeals for the role the trump administration can temporarily send back to mexico, central american migrants seeking asylum. they have to stay on that side

of the border until -- they now surpass the numbers in certain states. latest number from border patrol, forge and 60,000 apprehensions so far in this year. the acting homeland security secretary says one percent of the population of guatemala and honduras have entered the u.s. since september. that is more than 1/4 million people. let's bring in republican texas congressman, great to see you. your reaction, sir, on the rare victory for the president out of the ninth circuit. >> it is a rare victory. i'm so elated that the ninth circuit is seen fair to help because one single federal judge had stopped the program. so i am elated to see that. it is astounding to me to see

these numbers continuing to pour into our country. one percent of these entire countries populations have come in in the last several months. we can no longer sustain this. it is a system that is about to collapse. professionals down there telling us that. i can tell you if it continues on, our country will collapse. we cannot continue to sustain these types of overwhelming numbers coming across our borders.liz: to your point sir, congressman, it is an important point that you make. all border facilities are so overwhelmed that border patrol has to release migrants into the interior of the us. 168,000 i think that is a number of migrant asylum-seekers were released into the u.s. since december. that is four times as many migrants annually arrested inside the us for immigration violations. that's what's happening, sir. >> that's exactly right.

it is so overwhelming and let me tell you something, this is not a manufactured crisis. i've been saying this and many of us on the republican side have been saying this for months and months. the president has been saying this but even some of the democrat colleagues can see this. it is proof, i can say that three of my democrat border representatives in congress have introduced a bill to mandate processing of asylum-seekers in their own countries. down in honduras and guatemala. because they know that if they come in, they get a free pass and an indefinite stay in the country. and it overwhelms these border counties. then they go on in and in my district, i am up in east texas, it takes in 1000 new students per year. most of which are the children of illegal immigrants.and so, we continue to medicate and educate and incarcerate these

people at the taxpayers expense. spill congressman, come back soon. great to see you. the trump white house cracking down on asylum cases. same to border patrol to be skeptical of the cases. the trump administration exerting executive privilege on the mueller report. democrats and house judiciary vote to hold william barr and contempt. democrats showing their cards. if they say if they don't impeach the president he will get reelected. this is turning out to be one of the worst congress is in u.s. history. we have that story coming up. ♪ (vo) i know what you're thinking. electric, it's not for you.

journalist breaking news right and left on this. the chief intelligence correspondent of fox news, catherine, live in dc. what is the latest now? reporter: it was really a conclusion today was along party lines. in the end it was 24 - 16. i think you really want to focus on there may be an issue with language in the subpoena would have this effect to legally down the road. democrats said to the never had any intent of seeking the grand jury information of what is -- if that was the issue republicans said the attorney general could not comply with because he needed a court order to share the information. here is the democratic chairman and the ranking member. >> we've made clear that the material is not clear for purposes of the subpoena and if that was not clear enough, when we accepted this amendment, that is made super clear now.

>> how many lawyers walk into a court today and present a four-point document to a judge and then you try to argue that is not what we meant your honor. i meant to actuallyexclude this . reporter: the president asserted executive privilege over these records today after a justice department said last democrats were in negotiations and they faltered at the 11th hour. the justice department position and republicans is that they were operating in good faith. they had provided through the attorney general, more than what was required under the statute. they had at the 11th hour, provided access to the democrats it was really a side issue but the republicans and the white house are blocking legitimate independent oversight. >> they conclude that the president now seeks to take a wrecking ball to the constitution of the united states of america. >> by citing the attorney general of the united states

for contempt of congress, you're saying i am standing up for the law, i am not going to break the law by complying with that part of your subpoena. it shows an overage on the part of the majority. reporter: the other major theme today is that republicans accused democrats of going after the attorney general because they simply did not like the result of the mueller investigation on alleged collusion. so coronation between the trump campaign and russia and then obstruction that was ultimately decided by the attorney general and the deputy attorney general. but democrats said when you read the entirety of the mueller report, even with reductions, it is clear the evidence for obstruction is strong. >> not a witchhunt. if it looks like a duck, walks like a duck, and >> like a duck, it is a duck! and if it looks like obstruction, sounds like obstruction, smells like

obstruction, it's obstruction. >> this is not about seeking the truth is we've heard this morning.it is about partisan politics. -- cracked the democratic chairman told reporters after the session that he believes the contempt resolution will go to the house for rapidly and he says it will be civil contempt so a civil lawsuit. but i want to emphasize all of this happened today against the backdrop of democrats in the house have not officially or formally opened impeachment proceedings. that is why the critics have said this was like impeachment light. liz: great reporting. this just in, reports that they subpoena donald trump jr.. that is a found way. ranking judiciary member collins said they want to

neutralize william barr because they are afraid what he might discover in the probe of doj fisa abuse. >> what's happening there? question making the argument that democrats are concerned that the attorney general is someone who is standing firm, not worried about what they think about and he is very concerned about the genesis of the fbi russia probe and if you saw the wall street journal this morning, they are also looking specifically at the use of the dossier. the clinton campaign, there was opposition research that refused to secure warrants. for carter page. they say democrats are trying to damage attorney general because they're concerned about the findings in his review and also the findings that we expect from the inspector general who is not only looking at this alleged abuse of the

surveillance process during the election, but he is also looking at classified leaks and my final point on that is that we had testimony from the attorney general last week, he called these criminal leaks. he suggests to me based on my expansive there been some type of referral from the inspector general investigation. liz: may clarify senate intelligence is subpoenaing donald trump jr. catherine, thank you for -- cracked so many subpoenas flying around! liz: so much work to do. come back soon. coming up, critics claim he has democrats going after bill barr, that they are showing their true political colors and are quite concerned if they do not impeach this president that president trump will get reelected.we will show you that. critics say it could backfire on the democrats. that coming up. from fidelity. a visual snapshot of your investments.

elizabeth: critics are pointing out that house democrats going after william barr and do the trump white house, it's about getting rid of president trump. this may backfire on them. watch democrat al green and nancy pelosi. >> i'm concerned that if we don't impeach this president, he will get reelected. >> we cannot accept a second term for donald trump if we are going to be faithful to the our

democracy and to the constitution. elizabeth: joining me now is a member of the judiciary and oversight committees, congressman greg tube by. sir, great to see you. what's your take on those comments about not getting president trump reelected? >> well, the entire committee today was all about political grandstanding and political theater. we're not talking about securing our border or helping americans or helping floridians get better jobs or create jobs. all we're talking about is setting up the stage to impeach the president or try to make the president look bad or to now try to find a.g. barr in contempt of congress. it's all political theater aimed at the 2020 election. elizabeth: we're now over is 100 days into this congress, 16 laws enacted. that's half the rate of the previous congress. do they want to go into 2020 with that track record? >> not only that, they haven't produced a budget. the republican study committee
