6:03 pm
louisiana with details on president's trip. the president pointing out power of u.s. energy, that sector stopped the u.s. from collapsing into recession last decade. connell. reporter: liz, this was not technically a campaign event. at times it sounded like one. president went after some potential 2020 opponents. however he spent the majority of his time talking directly to the workers here who he says have been directly benefiting from his policies. >> this extraordinary turnaround is possible because under my administration we have ended the war on american energy and which have ended the economic assault on our wonderful energy workers. you were under assault. connell: some of the deregulation analysts say boosted job breath in the liquified natural gas industry actually began under president obama but certainly has been accelerated under president trump. there were two executive orders that the president signed back in april, that sempra energy, which is the company behind this
6:04 pm
particular facility, says it really helped to speed up the production of energy and in particular the lng, liquified natural gas. as for the president's ongoing trade war with china, that is something of a factor as well but you didn't hear much from the president about that, unless you count comment like this. >> so we lose the jobs, we lose the taxes, we lose the wealth and another country builds the product and they send it in. no tax. well that's changing. you saw that. that's changing rapidly. connell: the latest round of retaliatory tariffs china did raise what was a 10% tariff on liquified natural gas up to 25%. but here's the thing, that actually might not cause much short-term pain because the president says the sempra ceo told him they're sold out for 20 years. liz, back to you in studio. liz: connell mcshane thanks
6:05 pm
for your journalism there. five dozen panic attacks what is the longest bull run in u.s. history. stocks bouncing back in a relief rally after china signaling too more talks down the road. the president says china went back on a good deal? >> we have a very good dialogue. we have a dialogue going. it will always continue but we made a deal with china. it was a deal that was a very good deal. it had to be a very good deal. we just can't make a very good deal. i told that to president xi. we had a deal that was close an they broke it. liz: edward lawrence at the white house with more? reporter: a senior administration official told me this evening the president plans, this administration is planning a trip to china for the next round of talks at some point. the two sides want to keep the communication going. the president said china broke the deal. the u.s. trade representative says that china was actually pulled back almost all the concessions that they had made across multiple sections of this agreement. still a spokesman for the
6:06 pm
chinese foreign minister saying they have a right to defend themselves. they said they will not succumb to external pressure and are determined to maintain their legitimate rights. >> translator: we advised the u.s. side to take heed of the international community's reaction, calls from people of all walks life, calculate baines and loss of their own interest have a clear understanding of the situation and return to the right track at an early date. we hope we can meet china halfway to strive together for mutually beneficial and win-win agreement on the basis of mutual respect. reporter: you hear there, china wants to go halfway with the united states. the united states says they will not allow china to keep stealing intellectual property. both republicans and some democrats support the president standing up to china. >> so what the president's doing is using tariffs as a tool to get them to change the behavior that leads to them cheating us out of market share.
6:07 pm
it is not about china out working americans, it is about china cheating and somebody should have done this 30 years ago. reporter: now the administration upping the pressure. the president or the u.s. trade representatives office listing items everything else basically china has imported into the united states that could potentially go under a 25% tariff. a public meeting will be june 17th. on that, after that meeting and the report is done the president can put everything that china import into the united states under a tariff. back to you, liz. liz: edward lawrence in washington. thank you very much. let's get an update from gerri willis from the new york stock exchange. reporter: call it turnaround tuesday. all major markets finish in the green as stocks rally off two-month lows. trade fears easing up as we saw in the stocks today. the dow closing up 207 point, reaching an intraday high well over 300 points, 363 points for that blue-chip average. s&p closing up 23, nasdaq up 87.
6:08 pm
the sectors leading the way it was really a broad-based rally. tech, energy, industrial stocks, all doing better that and other another industrial stock, boeing even though it had bad news, boeing hammered you guessed it, the 7237 max jet groundings. they delivered 24% fewer planes this year than last year. they are well behindir closed up 1.5% thanks to this broad market rally of the liz, back to you. liz: gerri willis at the big board. thank you so much. latest on democrat's push to bury the president in avalanche of never-ending anti-trump probes. we're waiting to hear from a federal judge weighing today whether the president's personal accounting firm has to turn over president trump's financial records to the house oversight committee. democrats are really looking for with these investigations is impeachment without impeachment. that could backfire with voters
6:09 pm
potentially. impeachment light people are calling it. here's the thing, robert mueller has real gravitas. democrats want robert mueller to testify. it would be dramatic and damaging tv spectacle. that could slam president trump's approval ratings. that is the gameplan so he doesn't get reelected. let's bring in a ranking member of the financial services, north carolina congressman patrick henry. great to see you, sir. >> great to see you, liz. liz: what is your reaction? did we get it wrong? >> you're spot on. this is about trump obsession, democrats on capitol hill and democrat running for president are obsessed with family of donald trump, his family, finances, businesses even long before he considered running for public-offs. they're completely obsessed with him. the president said i will not comply with a witch-hunt all about embarrassing me or attempting to embarass me, rather than legitimate policy making and oversight of the executive branch.
6:10 pm
so this is really about the obsession and circus-like atmosphere of capitol hill they're trying to creates a looks to the president. liz: sir, i would like your reaction to democrats threatening to throw trump officials in prison and in jail. watch this. >> it is our responsibility as a coequal branch of government to hold them accountable. i don't want to throw him in jail but i'm ready to do so. >> you have to have him locked up unless he agrees to participate, come to the hearing. >> we do have jail down in the basement of the capitol. [laughter]. but if we were arresting all of the people in the administration we would have overcrowded jail situation. i'm not for that. [laughter]. >> 7214 in the code is even clearer as to what happens if you do not hand over the tax returns. there are fines.
6:11 pm
there is jail. there is a et cetera, this is serious business. liz: congressman, is that serious talk? what are you hearing? >> these are the same democrats that were going crazy because you had locker up chants at trump rallies in presidential election for hillary clinton who broke federal law, we all firmly believe. and we actually talked about due process even for hillary clinton. these democrats are so obsessed they don't want to follow standard orders and procedures here on capitol hill or the courts in order to get what they want. they are so obsessed it will lead them to impeachment proceedings, even though we have roaring economy, the president has done nothing wrong. robert mueller has actually produced a report that says yes, russians tried to intervene in our election. that was clear. there is no collusion and no obstruction of justice. so it is a crazy atmosphere that you're seeing among democrats that is going to lead them to
6:12 pm
impeachment proceedings. they're so obsessed with the president, rather than focus on what their constituents want and what american people need and deserve, for to us be serious policymakers to keep moving the country forward. liz: congressman, we're tracking numbers, looks like to be one of the worst congresses in history. just 16 laws enacted so far this year. run less than half the rate of prior congress in terms of legislation enacted. your reaction to that, sir? >> we got great work done last congress. mastiff tax reform, tax cuts. new understanding how we regulate bank to get community lending going. we have good work we built on last congress and great regulatory relief out of administration. liz: but nothing now. >> the economy is roaring. they're trying to halt all progress because they're so obsessed with donald trump. let's keep focused. keep the economy rolling. let's wage growth continue to rise. support the president being tough on china of the these are good things we can get done.
6:13 pm
liz: congressman mchenry, thanks for joining us. we really appreciate it. >> thank you. liz: coming upstate state met with vladmir putin in russia amid escalating tensions in iran and venezuela after iran accused the u.s. trying to provoke it into a fight by wrongfully blaming it for sabotaging oil tankers in the gulf. that story is is coming up. the greatest economy ever according to president trump, and democratic hopefuls are trying to figure out how to run against a smoking trump economy. which group of workers yet to come out, its leaders have yet to come out to endorse any democrat? can you guess which it is? that answer is coming up. stay with us. ♪ i can't tell you who i am or what i witnessed, but i can tell you liberty mutual customized my

6:18 pm
at the state department. rich? reporter: good ening, liz. secretary of state mike pompeo met this afternoon with russian president vladmir putin. this is pompeo's first trip to russia as secretary of state. putin opened the session that the united states and russia can rebuild the relationship because special counsel robert mueller finished his report. putin says mueller investigation was very objective and confirms there was no collusion between his government and the trump campaign. the mueller report did find sweeping and systemic russian interference. hours later pompeo warned that united states would not tolerate the russian's election meddling. >> that would put our relationship in worst place than it has been and encourage them not to do that. reporter: they are still investigating a sabotage of saudi tankers in the united arab i am her rates. the saudi foreign minister calls
6:19 pm
the sabotage is suspicious and that the u.s. could be behind defense attacks. patrick shanihan has a military plan to send 120,000 troops in the middle east according to "new york times," if they is being rail forces or nuclear weapons. >> if we did that we would send at hell of a lot more troops than that. >> according to iranian state till vision, says there will be no war with the united states nor will there be negotiations. liz? liz: rich edson. we have heritage foundation senior research fellow, retired lieutenant colonel dakota wood. of colonel numerous polls show the american voters do not want a war in the middle east. why are tensions being manipulated and escalated by headlines the president is now calling fake news? >> i mean you have this on going tension between iran and the united states over sanctions that stem from the iran nuclear
6:20 pm
agreement. so there is a very hard push by the united states to restrict the flow of capital or cash money, and oil sales into iran to try to get it back to the negotiating table so we can constrict their nuclear program. obviously iran doesn't like that so you see this friction mounting 2010 the two countries. >> is the situation made more combustible by officials saying the u.s. will not differentiate between attacks from iran and iran proxy groups like hezbollah. >> it had decades of supporting terror groups like hamas, hezbollah, other factions stretching from iran down through syria into jordan even, lebanon, attacks on israel. this is nothing new and you know, if you have the state sponsor of these terrorist groups, they're providing weapons, material, the technicians, the support, political cover, so they should be held accountable. liz: under the obama administration iran gained access to almost $100 billion after it was, that money was released from sanctions in 2015.
6:21 pm
iran was saying it was its money. did iran use that money to bang role syria's dictate bar scharre al-assad and houthi rebels in yemen? >> i don't know about hezbollah but certainly factions, shia backed, iranian backed, militias in iraq, houthi rebels going on, pitted proxy war between saudi arabia and iran. absolutely hamas and hezbollah. this is very clear. open source, part of the record. several countries validated this. it shouldn't come as a you are is prize this is point of contention with the trump administration. liz: democrats are confused over the u.s. policy here. let's watch. >> what we need is a diplomatic surge because if iran is reeling from all of the consequences of the sanctions that the trump administration has reimposed the purpose of sanctions is not a means to an end. it is a means to get iran back to the negotiating table.
6:22 pm
>> democrats on the foreign relations committee requested classified briefings so we can get up to speed on the president's strategy. liz: your take on that, sir? >> the strategy certainly, the objective is to get them to talk. but what we're seeing in the case of iran, maduro in venezuela, kim jong-un in north korea is they want pressure taken off before they will have these negotiations. clearly when pressure hasn't been applied they have no interest changing their behavior. this full-court press, maximum pressure applied to each of these regimes is absolutely the way to go and i think the president has the right approach. it is very clear. he articulated this a number of times. i'm not really sure why the opposition there in congress is confused what the policy is. liz: colonel, iran is one of the world's worst human rights abusers. we've seen it from watchdog groups from around the world. they keep saying that. do you feel that d.c. doesn't pay enough attention to the
6:23 pm
human rights abuses coming out of iran? >> it's a central value for the united states and a lot of western democracies for human rights. we always articulate even during the height of the cold war with the soviet union but sometimes there are other issues like nuclear capabilities, support to terrorism, that really take prominence in these discussions. so it depends on the situation and the state you're working with whether it is north korea, iran, what have you, whether you lead with human rights or one of these background issues until you can resolve a more lethal kinetic problem you're dealing with up front. liz: colonel wood, thank you very much. thank you for your service our country. come back soon. >> thank you. liz: we're keeping eye on other stories. to the college admissions scandal, a former us csis assistant women's soccer coach laura jenke pleated guilty. charged with faking athlete profiles for children like actress lori loughlin kids an

[cheers and applause] liz: so even "the new york times" admitting the economy is on fire. "new york times" says president trump is running on the strongest economy of any president seeking re-election
6:31 pm
since bill clinton in 1996 and arguably since richard nixon in 1972. we should note that unions have yet to come out in force to endorse any democrat. joining me now national taxpayer s union mattie duppler. what is your take on all of this? >> the economy is strongest it has been in quite some time and the president is in good position to run on that. something that bears repeating when we talk about the economy is the wage number. one of the most pervasive parts of the economy under obama people didn't see wages rise or paychecks get any bigger. we're entering ninth straight month of wages rising over 3% of the those increases going most steadily to the bottom part of income ladder. the economy is working not just the top but the bottom as well. liz: democrat have a hard time to figure out how to take on trump in the battle ground states, record unemployment numbers, record low unemployment numbers.
6:32 pm
the economy created 1.2 million goods produces jobs, durable goods, mining, logging. that was twice as much created in obama's last 27 months. strong wage gains there. when people compare the economies president is seeing lower number of government workers jobs being created. your take on all of that? >> to compare the obama administration, the trump administration, looking at governor employees is good metric to do so. that is where you saw a lot of job growth particularly the first couple years of the obama administration. because the trump administration rolled back regulations, decreased the tax burden for businesses it allowed businesses to hire. not just hire, invest in those workers. that is why you're seeing the wages rise. liz: know how the republicans want to put the vote green new deal and democrats voted present. republicans have you democrats vote on alexandria ocasio-cortez's idea to print money for their government programs to create jobs. your take on that? >> real profiles in courage in

the united states senate. you don't have a single democrat stand up for a bill some of them running for president cosponsored. no democrat voted for the new deal on the floor. when they put their policies, put their mouth where their policy is doesn't act as well on the campaign trail but when it comes to mmt, deficits don't matter, the government can print and spend money there are no consequences that is how democrats run their fiscal policy for the last several years. if we had a hearing on the hill we wouldn't see much different from them. interesting to see democrats to put thought behind what their policies will look like if there are consequences. >> mattie duppler, love having you on. come back soon. >> good to see you, liz. liz: here is something socialists always ignore, the waste in socialist government programs we have already in the united states like medicare, medicaid. we have a capitalist, and a socialist about to go head-to-head. president trump is proud of attorney general william barr

democrat socialist member and forbes media chairman steve forbes. 2020 democrats keep pushing to raise taxes. why don't they always raise taxes? why not fix problem of government waste, it is equal to the size of poland? >> shows when government is in charge, call it socialist or anything else there is no consequences for the kind of waste. private sector, capitalism, free markets, you have that kind of waste you go out of business. this has been going on for decades. britain after world war i, as navy got smaller, the agency running the navy got bigger. there are no consequences to the kind of waste. if you reduce budget, you get less next year. no real incentives to guard the taxpayers money. liz: nomiki, republican john kennedy, a number of democrats want a bipartisan push of both chambers to stop government sending payments to dead people, billion dollars, and payments what do you think? >> of course there are inefficiencies. bernie sanders himself talked about how the government is
6:40 pm
structured in a way that is not efficient. part of that is because we have this dual privatized and frankly socialized government in which it is frankly neoliberal, neocon government which we privatized industries that should be socialized which would be much more efficient made it for all. if we tax the richest we talk about the private sector which mr. forbes just mentioned, the private sector is only concerned about the bottom line. government should not function that way. when government is functioning the way that is concerned about the bottom line people not paying taxes are the ones who are prioritized over weeking people. >> government is only concerned about its own well being, its own power, not about the people f it is concerned about the people you wouldn't see the massive waste. in the private sector you succeed by meeting the needs and wants of other people which is why capitalism is moral and free market, free markets don't
