president trump signing a new executive order, aimed right at china stopping american telecoms from installing foreign-made gear that pose a national security risk effectively blocking china's big giant company huawei and we heard dozens of times that the fight with china would torpedo the u.s. economy but the dow ended up today 115 points and also the u.s. economy is soaring tonight we take on the fear mongering and scare tactics that are way off base and it is shaping up to be more and more president trump versus joe biden for now as joe biden is pushing back on everyone from alexandria ocasio-cortez. >> he's illegal. >> would you be my vice president. >> and now they have an investigation of the investigators who are investigating whether or not vladimir putin and the russians engaged in trying to change things. give me a break! gosh almighty. liz: okay we take on trump

versus biden. can biden pull it off can he do it as the first democratic debate is just a month away to one of the worst congresses ever to 16 laws passed year-to-date now this house democrats planning a marathon public reading of the mueller report really that's the best they could do plus we have an exclusive with 2020 democrat presidential contender who says he's running to save capitalism and this as capitalism looks like it's saving itself under the trump adminitration, the economy with wage growth and the bottom half out pacing the top half record unemployment for women and minorities, we're going to show you this, how the democrat party is misleading you it's entire big government in income and equality push that income and equality push is based on falsehoods and flawed facts. this is what you're going to see in the 2020 race. this is a scorecard you'll want to keep. i'm elizabeth macdonald the " evening edit" starts right now.

welcome to the show you're watching the fox business network. let's get right to edward lawrence in washington with the latest there and around the world. reporter: yeah, liz the trade debate has moved from the u.s. trade representatives office to here on capitol hill. treasury secretary steven mnuchin told me that he is going to go to china for the next round of trade talks; however nothing has been scheduled right now. he went on to say he is hopeful for an agreement not using the word "confident" but there's an agreement but hopeful and in the meantime the administration pushing not trade but u.s. mca, trying to get lawmakers here on capitol hill to ratify smca. there's pushback from those lawmakers because of steel and aluminum tariffs they have in place on canada and mexico. now lawmakers here say that needs to be removed to have widespread support and canada's top negotiator in washington trying to work out that issue

here. she says that canada would like to see those tariffs removed in order for canada to ratify the agreement going forward with the treasury secretary saying they are trying to resolve the issue right now. now one issue that will not go away is the instability in ventura county. now because of that, the u.s. has announced they are stopping all commercial and cargo flights in-n-out of ventura county and it's too unstable and that stability seem s to be a theme around the world with rogue nations and iran is causing problems for the united states, and the u.s. actually now is evacuating the embassy in baghdad, in iraq, of all non-emergency personnel, and that's because the states of army said that a credible threat from malitia backed by iran there could be an attack there and democrats on capitol hill are skeptical about the military buildup going on in the middle east. >> we do not need another iraq weapons of mass destruction

moment. where we were falsely led into a military engagement in iraq which is one of the biggest mistakes we have had in foreign policy. reporter: because of the issue with iran the u.s. moving a carrier group now into the middle east there, just in case something happens because of this credible threat. you know, all of this while the president is monitoring the world's situation and he announced today he's going to south korea. this is part of the trip he takes to the g20 and he will stop in south korea and the white house saying the two leaders will try and strengthen their relationship and ties between the two countries and this is right around the trip as he goes to the g20 where he meets with president xi and president putin face to face. liz: edward lawrence in washington thank you so much. let's stay in the fight with china. dozens of times over the last two years the media said a fight with china would torpedo the economy. watch. >> next, what other risks loom ing ahead, a deepening trade war with china, another

recession, a stock market crash? >> i don't think it's obvious there will be an agreement we could get the full scale trade war and i think that would make 600 points on the dow look like nothing we could be in for much more. >> this is a battle that has the potential to cause economic pain everywhere. liz: the u.s. economy is on track to grow 3% annualized. we haven't seen that in 14 years here is what the media is also missing. the dow is up, it's traded up today, and when they warn about recession here, the u.s. economy is a gigantic 21 trillion, the u.s. imports about 3 trillion, 522 billion of that from china, even goldman sachs former ceo says the hurt will come to china because manufactures could move their factories out of china to elsewhere in asia and more. joining me is california congressman he is judiciary committee member tom mcclintock. great to see you, sir. do you worry a recession is around the corner? >> i think the president's policy on regulatory relief and

tax reform made enormous differences. we're seeing major expansion of the american economy growing at roughly twice the rate that we saw under barack obama. the danger though is a trade war tariffs have always done harm to any comment a that imposes them but in the president's defense he's made it clear that his only objective in all of this is trade relationship of zero tariffs, zero subsidiaries and zero non-tariff barriers, free-trade. i question the way he's going about doing it but his objective is solid. liz: sir we had a lot of breaking news today. i'd like your take on president trump's new push for a merit- based immigration system. we know that 52 democrats including chuck schumer, bernie sanders, and representative kirsten gillibrand and amy klobuchar supported that type of a system and ending family chain migration in 2013 under

president barack obama. there's pushback right now. you're take on this? >> well i think their objective is open borders and they will deny it if you look at all of their policies, rewarding people who cross the border illegally with everything from free legal services to free education, free healthcare, their sanctuary cities policy. you look at all of the democratic approaches to illegal immigration, they want open borders because it suits their political agenda so it doesn't surprise me that they have done an about-face on the kind of reforms that the president is proposing which is to again, ask that people who come to this country bring with them something they can contribute to this country. liz: there's potential the president could make a speech about this tomorrow. let's get to the president's approval rating at 44%. 54% say he's doing a good job in the economy according to real clear politics but sir, democrat jerry nadler says three years ago the plans for the democrats would be to drive down the

president's approval rating so he does not get re-elected what do you say to that? >> well i think he's going to fail. what people are saying is trump derangement syndrome now brought to the house of representatives and the people who voted the democrats into power think they were getting anything else maybe that's nature's way of warning him to be careful about the votes they cast. all of the problems confronting the country today completely fixated on donald trump. liz: congressman, thank you so much for joining us sir appreciate it. >> my pleasure. liz: again president trump wants to unveil tomorrow a new merit- based immigration system. it would suggestly increase the educational requirement for migrants. let's get to fox news john roberts at the white house with more. john? reporter: liz good afternoon to you there's actually two pieces to what the president is laying out first of all something very familiar with your audience, and the president talked about the need to increase border security , upgrade ports of entry and build more wall, make sure that every person who enters the

country, every vehicle that crosses the border is screened. the peace officer's memorial today president trump talked about the need for border security. listen here. president trump: not one more american life should be lost because our lawmakers failed to secure our borders. tremendous problems are caused at the southern border from drugs to the wrong people being allowed to come in because of a corrupted broken system that can be changed in 20 minutes. >> the program you're talking about at the top switching to a merit-based immigration system. what the president wants to do is change the makeup of the immigrant population, that to say the number of people in the country every year but just change the makeup. currently 12% of people are admitted given green cards based on employment or their skills the president wants to increase that to 57%. family-based immigration which is the bulk of it now would reduce from 66% to 33% and then

another 10% would be admitted into the country on humanitarian or other grounds, but it would end the visa lottery program. the president wants to introduce a build america visa, that would recognize extraordinary talent, people with professional and specialized locations and exceptional students and these people would be admitted into the country at a point basis. points are given based on age, english proficiency, and education and vocational certifications. democrats who are skeptical of almost everything that the president does, are skeptical of this as well. listen here. >> there have been so many efforts when it comes to immigration reform under this president, optimistic skeptical as to whether he truly wants to deal with immigration reform. i know he wants a wall. >> the white house is saying it would like to pass a new immigration reform bill before the election, but liz, i think

in honesty this really reads more as a 2020 campaign platform than it does for legislation, with democrats controlling the house. liz: great analysis and insights john roberts come back soon we love having you on. >> thanks, liz. liz: thousands of people congregated at the gaza border with israel for demonstrations known as a catastrophe in which hundreds of thousands of palestinians were forced out of their homes. let's get right to trey, at the israel gaza border with more. reporter: liz over 10,000 palestinians gathered around the border today to mark knock the day. this as the palestinian health ministry says at least 60 protesters were injured and they include ied's and rocks being then towards israeli troops. hamas, the group in control of the gaza strip called the israeli response an act of aggression. earlier this month, hamas fired nearly 700 rockets into israel

from gaza killing four people. and israel responded with a series of air strikes killing more than two dozen palestinians amid new tension, iranian-backed groups in gaza could pose a major threat to israel as the cease fire is tested each day. >> inside the gaza strip have a number of tools to discup current cease fire understanding one of them, balloons trying to destroy agricultural communities along the border as you can see behind me, this field completely destroyed by just one group of balloons. >> both hamas and jihad confirm ed to fox news they received funding and in some cases military support from the iranian regime raising questions about what role the groups play if a larger conflict with iran occurs so the violence along the israel gaza border does come as there's major tension in the middle east as proxies are being blamed for sabotaging key oil infrastructure across the region liz?

liz: thank you so much, sir. coming up, it's looking like for right now it will be president trump versus joe biden. the president is playing offense this is after joe biden's lead is widening over bernie sanders, in the field of about two dozen and the president tweeted about joe biden nearly three dozen times since joe biden announced. president trump: i don't know what the hell happened to biden. what happened to him? i'm looking at him and that doesn't look like the guy i knew i can't tell you who i am or what i witnessed, but i can tell you liberty mutual customized my car insurance so i only pay for what i need. oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no... only pay for what you need. liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪

president trump: i've got them all. i've got beto. what the hell happened? i don't know what the hell happened to biden. i'm looking at him and that doesn't look like the guy i knew what happened to him and bernie? you know bernie's crazy. >> [laughter] president trump: but bernie has a lot more energy than biden so you never know. boy you've got some beauties here. 350 million people and that's the best we can do. i don't think so. even as democrats i could pick better than that. liz: [laughter] looking more like trump versus biden as of right now, here is what's going on. joe biden now leads the next closest rival, bernie sanders by an average of 27 points that's

up from 6 points, the day when biden entered the race and said this is all going on despite joe biden's problem with unwell com ed heads and touching of women and his recent dismissing of china and hunter's business deal in the ukraine and china. let's bring in the caller caller vince coglianese with more. your reaction to all of that? well i think it's the commentary on the democratic field is large with heads everywhere and they are all representing the same philosophy so biden is thinking he's sort of the best of the socialistic bunch, and not great commentary on his general election chances but watching the president sort of commenting on the former vice president i think he's really touched on something that matters which is joe biden has sort of lost the touch. you compare the two men they are relatively close in age. donald trump has a lot more energy than joe biden has for this type of campaigning and by the time we get to the first democratic debate i'd be surprised if joe biden is the clear front runner any more. liz: interesting because do you know what's happening right now,

joe biden seems to be setting his tuare rf. he's asking people to "calm down " until he releases his plan watch. >> most of my record [indiscernible] it's a long came pain campaign. liz: your reaction to that? >> democrats are not giving him any warm embraces. they are so trying to distance themselves from him and alexandria ocasio-cortez love her or hate her is represented above a meaningful cross-section of her party that thinks he's in effective, that he doesn't live up to the progressive standards and he takes that beating during the democratic primary and that will extract some pain from him.

liz: joe biden is coming out saying the threat to investigate this son's, hunter's business dealings and china and the ukraine he's saying that's a personal attack. your reaction to that, vince? >> well it's a personal story. it's one that needs to be looked into to examine whether or not there's corruption because when the vice president of the united states pressures a government to remove a prosecutor that is a direct interest in investigating the vice president's son that's a big deal and that's much more connected in terms of the types of things deserving of an investigation than anything we've seen related to trump or russia or mueller over the last two years. liz: vince coglianese, thank you so much come back soon. okay, are you tired of getting so many fake robocalls? well the government under the president is now taking steps to give phone companies the power to block those robocalls. hillary vaughn has more. reporter: liz, the fcc says they are giving phone companies the go-ahead to stop robocalls before you even get that first ring.

the fcc has a new plan that lets carriers auto block spam calls by default. the change would let carriers stop the calls before they happen, fcc chairman pai announcing a white-list option that limits calls just to people's contact list a good option for elderly people who are the highest targets of these rob o calls. >> the one possible use for this would be in support of elderly relatives who are too often targets of these scams. for instance imagine being able to setup a list of phone numbers that your grandmother or father would receive calls from and this would allow them to know the calls they get are coming from trusted people, loved ones, their doctor, their pharmacy and the like. >> i asked the fcc chairman if they would be providing the software to the providers or if it's up to them to use their own technology. >> the short answer is no, we are not offering a software tool nor directing specific software tools. our goal here is to make clear

the legal foundation for allowing call blocking by default so we want to encourage an experimentation that allows companies to figure out where consumer preferences and then match a call blocking tool to those preferences. >> the fcc says they can't guarantee this will be a free service for consumers but they doubt companies will pass down the cost because it's going to save them money. the proposal goes up for a vote on june 6, shortly after that the fcc says phone companies have the green light to move forward. liz? liz: thank you, hillary. two new developments in the colorado school shooting. alicia? reporter: today, family, friends and law enforcement participated in a celebration of life to memorialize an 18-year-old high school student who was killed while fighting off one of two classmates who began shooting in the classrooms last week. thousands of people attended the service in highlands ranch, colorado a suburb of denver. the douglas county sheriffs

department led the procession something they've never done for a civilian. hundreds of jeeps lined up to participant as well, they are part of jeep clubs from all over who came to honor the student hero whose also a huge fan of the car. he and his friends, together charged after one of the shooter s once they realized what was happening. kendrick was killed and joshua was shot twice in the leg. >> there wasn't a whole lot going through my mind at the time. adrenaline and tunnel vision are a crazy thing. they make it so that way you don't really focus on anything but what's right in front of your face at that moment. reporter: before today's memorial kendrick's parents were in court where the suspects accused of killing their son went before a judge to hear formal charges. the 16 and 18-year-old were charged with first degree murder this is the older one in this video looking at 47 other counts including attempted murder and

arson. the district attorney says he is treating the minor as an adult in this case. the defense today said it is going to fight reverse that decision. liz? liz: thank you, alicia several other stories we're tracking for you tonight, and the wall street journal reporting that homeland security suspended commercial and cargo flights to ventura county citing safety concerns due to the communist collapse in that country. let's get to where it's restrict ing its live streaming service for some parts of the world this comes after the attacks on mosques in new zealand that left 51 dead those attacks were live streamed on the facebook's live streaming site and the company would no longer let people share terrorist propaganda to live stream and we brought you the story about how big government is not watching out for you and your money and how social security and other government programs paid out about $1 billion to dead people over the last 10 or 15 years. that money wasted on big government programs, and now this, a former chicago police commander, kenneth johnson, pleading guilty, to stealing

$360,000, of social security money. he collected that money in the name of his mother who had died in 1994. he collected that money for 23 years and he faces prison time and it was officially announced today "game of thrones" creators are going to be involved in the next star wars film after the rise of star walker. the movie is set to come out in 2022. look at this, nasa revealing it is planning on sending people back to the moon. the plan is the trip will send both women and men astronauts and the project named after the greek goddess set for again 2024 , now who will the astronaut s be we'll give the names, and the tensions are continuing to rise between the u.s. and iran. the u.s. ordering non-government workers to leave iraq. we'll stay on that story for you this as the house democrats now planning to do a public reading of the mueller report, that story coming up. jardiance asks...

when it comes to type 2 diabetes, are you thinking about your heart? well, i'm managing my a1c, so i should be all set.

actually, you're still at risk for a fatal heart attack or stroke. that's where jardiance comes in. for adults who have type 2 diabetes and known heart diseas. that's why the american diabetes association recommends the active ingredient in jardiance. and it lowers a1c? with diet and exercise. jardiance can cause serious side effects including dehydration, genital yeast or urinary tract infections, and sudden kidney problems. ketoacidosis is a serious side effect that may be fatal. a rare, but life-threatening, bacterial infection in the skin of the perineum could occur. stop taking jardiance and call your doctor right away if you have symptoms of this bacterial infection, ketoacidosis, or an allergic reaction. do not take jardiance if you are on dialysis or have severe kidney problems. taking jardiance with a sulfonylurea or insulin may cause low blood sugar. so, what do you think? now i feel i can do more to go beyond lowering a1c. ask your doctor about jardiance today.

liz: to the tensions between the u.s. and iran, the white house says iran scaled up this past year but a british general in baghdad indicating he's not seeing that intelligence that there is not an increased threat from iran and let's straighten this out with senior middle east analyst, ic moo el, we're in the fog of hostilities, what is the truth here? >> well the british commander actually had to backtrack and change his language a bit. he said we're not hearing threats from many of the malitia in iraq. well we're not concerned about the many. we're concerned about the few that are directly aligned to iran's revolutionary guard corps liz: excuse me, the secretary of

state, michael p, is saying he's seeing threats from iran to do assassinations in europe. what's your take on that? >> we've seen attempted assassinations in washington d.c. against the saudi ambassador and we saw a scheme being plotted in paris, against a gathering of iranian opposition leaders so i take that as a credible threat but there is also the credible threat of kidnapping americans in iraq and moving rockets and missiles in iraq towards u.s. installations in order to threaten americans. all these moves are based on credible intelligence. these moves don't happen without credible intelligence. liz: there's pushback saying this is equivalent to the iraq w md debacle of the prior decade what's your take on that? >> well we didn't have evidence of wmd's at the time. we had some information but we do have evidence of iran's behavior in the region. the malitias exist. the attacks that happened on saudi arabia happened.

the attacks that happened against oil happened. the threats against americans are real, so wmd, yes, i get it. iraq wasn't done right, but this is different. this is a regime that directs proxies to attack american interest in the region. these are facts, these are things we can actually see. we don't have to have faith in something we can actually see it liz: michael of the hudson institute come back soon. >> thank you. liz: appreciate you coming in democrats in the media continued to attack attorney general bill barr. one msnbc host saying that barr wants to destroy the fbi. more on that fight, next. in the transportation industry without knowing firsthandness the unique challenges in that sector? coming out here, seeing the infrastructure firsthand, we can make better informed investment decisions. that's why i go beyond the numbers. my body is truly powerful.

i have the power to lower my blood sugar and a1c. because i can still make my own insulin. and trulicity activates my body to release it like it's supposed to. trulicity is for people with type 2 diabetes. it's not insulin. i take it once a week. it starts acting in my body from the first dose. trulicity isn't for people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. don't take trulicity if you're allergic to it, you or your family have medullary thyroid cancer, or have multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2. stop trulicity and call your doctor right away if you have an allergic reaction, a lump or swelling in your neck, or severe stomach pain. serious side effects may include pancreatitis. taking trulicity with a sulfonylurea or insulin increases low blood sugar risk. side effects include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, belly pain and decreased appetite, which lead to dehydration and may worsen kidney problems. i have it within me to lower my a1c. ask your doctor about trulicity.

liz: okay, this is where we pay our representatives in washington, to do, congress enacted only 16 laws to date one of the worst on record, more than 20 house democrats plan a

marathon public reading of the entire redacted mueller report starting tomorrow at noon, and it will likely take several hours to complete and this after house judiciary chair jerry nadler and other top democrats refused to read a less redacted version 99% of the volume two was available, 98.5% was available to read, katherine her ridge is in d.c. with the latest. reporter: a dispute over whether former cia director john brennan or former fbi director james comey pushed the unverified dossier during the presidential transition has broken out in the open after john durham was tapped by william barr to investigate the investigators. the records are not public but sources familiar with the contents say december 2016 e-mails indicate that comey told bureau that brennan should be included in the former russian interference and that report called the ica

was delivered two weeks before president trump took office. >> i think that it's one more place for mr. durham to start. >> former oversight committee chairman, trey gowdy, now a fox news contributor had access to the sensitive records and he called on durham to view how the unverified dossier was used in october 2016 to secure the surveillance warrant for a trump campaign aid and then two months later apparently considered again for the russia intelligence assessment. >> comey right now the only thing that he seems to share is a hatred for donald trump. it's going to be interesting if they begin to turn on one another. i've seen the document. i'm not going to describe it any more than that. comey got a better argument than brennan based on what i've seen. reporter: in a statement to fox the former cia official put the blame squarely on comey saying james clapper are the ones who oppose james comey's recommendation that the steele dossier but included in the intelligence report and the intelligence analyst didn't include it and james comey then

decided on his own to brief trump about the document. >> comey's lawyer did not provide an on the record response and the inspector general is expected to release his findings on surveillance next month. liz: thank you in washington there. white house counsel demanding house judiciary and its investigation into the trump adminitration, into obstruction of justice, public corruption and more let's get to chad pergram on capitol hill, with the details. chad? >> what they're basically saying in the latest dispute here is where the white house accuses house democrats of wanting a mulligan and wanting to relitigate the mueller report and there was a 12-page that was sent to jerry nadler today and i'll read you part of that. "congressional investigations are intended to obtain information and to aid in evaluating potential legislation , not to harass political opponents or to pursue a do-over. the committee is not a law

enforcement agency" and jerry nadler the chair of the committee says it's a bunch of b unk. he says they won't stop their investigation. they are going to forge ahead and the president is acting like a king. now there was an interesting moment on capitol hill where jerry nadler was asked by reporters today, as to if the stonewalling continues could he still pursue impeachment and nadler said "maybe" and then he was asked what would be the breaking point and he threw up his hands like this and there was also a funny moment on capitol hill where william barr, the attorney general, was here for a peace officer's memorial service they do this every year at the capitol, remembering the fallen here he went up to house speaker nancy pelosi and asked her have you brought your handcuffs? that's a reference to this possible perspective of inherent attempt. that's where contempt, that's where they would actually maybe go and arrest or try to detain william barr once the full house votes to hold him in contempt. that hasn't happened since 1934

it's unclear whether or not the house will just pursue a lawsuit against barr or whether they would go that extra step and try to bring him here on capitol hill something which hasn't been done in decades liz back to you. liz: chad pergram what a story thank you so much, chad pergram. >> thank you. liz: coming up president trump out with the new merit-based immigration system 52 democrats wanted the same thing six years ago including chuck schumer, bernie sanders and more and also canada, australia and japan already have it this as the crisis at the border is escalat ing border apprehensions totals are reaching 10-year highs but first we're going to bring you an exclusive 2020 democrat candidate former colorado governor john hick en looper will join us next and how democrats plan plan to compete against trump's booming economy. that's coming up. the matters.ar... introducing the all-new 2019 ford ranger,

liz: the list of democrats candidates growing to now nearly two dozen and we welcome one of them to the show a former businessman, a two-term governor of colorado he's 2020 contend contender, democrat john hicknn looper. it's a pleasure to have you on. governor you recently wrote an op-ed for the wall street journal saying you're running to save capitalism. can you tell us about it? >> yeah, i was wanting to make

the point that capitalism as it works now in america isn't serving the people of america, and just because we have a strong stock market doesn't mean america is better off, and i'm an entrepreneur, colorado has gone from 40th in john creation to the last three years to the number one economy in the country but it doesn't mean that capitalism is succeeding. liz: you know, now 7.5 million job openings versus 5.8 million unemployed and what's really interesting governor is that in these debates you want to have people sharing common truths and facts. democrats have used really flawed data in the income and equality site misleading voters and the federal reserve says that survey that says that those makes less than, those that don't have $400 for emergencies like four out of 10 people it's skewed toward the federal reserve says those making less than 40 k, the federal reserve says that is mostly lower income people surveyed and the census bureau is always warning that people under report their income in talking to the government and

the numbers that the democrats use don't include the help congress gotten acted like medicare medicaid food stamps and public housing so the debate is really twisted in this income and equality fight. i think the voters know that the democrats are whipping fast balls by them. >> [laughter] listen you could quibble over that but there are a lot usually there are dozens of polls and surveys that say 75% to 80 person person of americans can't balance their household budgets at the end of the month. liz: it's lower income individuals. it's from bank rate monitor see that's the thing. let me back up. sorry to interrupt you say you want to adjust capitalism? it looks like capitalism is working pretty good right now. political considerations often trump, override good economics when you have the government stepping in right? how do you fix capitalism? >> we've got record debt,

remarkably low levels of savings , we've got all kinds of challenges. we don't have for 40 years we've been having every year less startups, less business creation that's where new jobs are. we've got to begin looking at how do we get competition back in the marketplace. that's all i'm saying. i'm an entrepreneur i believe in capitalism but you need competition to make capitalism work. liz: i hear what you're saying by the way do you agree with bernie sanders single payer plan what's your position on that? >> no i think what we need is a public option in other words people that can't get healthcare on the private exchanges need to have medicare medicare advantage but i don't believe we'll take healthcare insurance away from 150 million people without a needless battle liz: i'd like your final word on this and we're really grateful that you came on. jamie jamie dimon said it took eight years to put a man on the

moon, isn't that an issue? you ran a small business you basically revitalized downtown denver, right with restaurants and pubs. you know what it's like to run a business right? >> yeah and i believe that you need appropriate regulation. we're able to get the oil & gas industry to work with the environmental community and create regulations by everyone working together so when i was governor we went through 24, 500 rules and regulations in colorado and they were simplified or got rid of almost 11,000, that's appropriate regulation but you still need regulation. liz: i hear what you're saying but sir, you know, really interesting governor will you come back on? i really like this debate and talking to you about this, you gave some insights and perspectives there the democrat party needs to listen to more. you ran a business you're a two- term governor and you have a lot of thoughts and contracts can you come back on soon? >> sure i'd love to come back. liz: great he created jobs in

denver. great to see you, sir and be sure to catch the special capitalism versus socialism it's a town hall hosted by charles payne tomorrow at 2:00 p.m. eastern on the fox business network, and for his reaction let's get to the former ceo of jc penney great to see you, you too, thank you so much for coming on it's a pleasure. you just listened to that debate it's great to see you what was your take on what we were just talking about? >> well i think he was talking about president trump who is actually taking regulations a lot of regulations that which makes it easy for people to start business. i'm not sure quite what he was talking about because certainly over the last couple of years we've seen huge job growth, unemployment down to all-time low, all kinds of people developing better income and better jobs which blacks, hispanics, you know, you name it women more jobs so i think that when he says it isn't working, i'm not sure where he thinks something is working better quite frankly. i grew up as a working class kid

and i have every single job known to man. cab driver, tractor trailer driver, so i've been in a lot of different businesses and i really see what capitalism does if you want to work at it and work hard at it. it is not a perfect system. we have a lot of, there's not equal distribution of wealth, but one of the things for sure that socialism is equal distribution of misery and i think that is some of you talked about that and it's still the same today. liz: i love that you just said you were a paper boy to the ceo of jc penney wow that's an american story. >> i've got to tell you, i am a typical american person who starts with a little to nothing and works their way up. liz: but that's what it's about it's about income ability. half of the upper bracket drops to the lower in a 10 year span that's data we looked at and the lower bracket moves up it's about income ability. i'll stay on this because it's important. it's a scorecard for 2020. the data that the democrats are using in income and equality is

highly flawed with a lot of single income households out there people getting married later, seniors living longer unattached. when you talk about median income growth, i'm telling you that the data is highly flawed and the irony here is the democrats leave out the government help that they got an enacted in their income and equality debates, public housing assistance, food stamp medicare medicaid, social security and more, allen. >> it's always left out and people always keep talking about this but i got to tell you i just got a ride down here with a fellow who came in and said i came here because of the great opportunities in america so we don't know about it here but they know about it in a lot of different countries they are all coming to america i don't see anybody leaving america going some place else so it can be some things need to be perfected , but it's never going to be perfect and we're always working at it and quite frankly i think president trump is doing a lot to try to solve some of

those problems. not everything but he's doing a lot of things. liz: final point those income surveys the federal reserve bank rate monitor often skewed toward the lower income brackets. >> absolutely. liz: not everybody in those samples, you're terrific. >> nice to be with you. liz: coming up president trump will unveil potentially tax reform a new merit-based immigration system watch the media backlash, remember this 52 democrats, wanted the same thing we're chalking chuck schumer, bernie sanders, amy klobuchar, kirsten gillibrand, and more, we're staying on this story for you, it's coming up. you wouldn't accept an incomplete job

from any one else. why accept it from your allergy pills?

flonase relieves your worst symptoms including nasal congestion, which most pills don't. flonase helps block 6 key inflammatory substances. most pills only block one. flonase.

>> us talk about immigration on the border with phil reborn. great to see you share. >> great to see. >> the president was to potentially introduce amir based on text merit-based system your take on that? >> i think the president is showing leadership that has been void in our congress in history to do something. he is trained to do everything he can to stem the tide again, 2500 people came across a

border, 93% from other countries, surprisingly the number of people coming from the middle east, china, cuba in those places, people who are generally not referenced. >> were running out of time, 52 democrats were for what the president says including chuck schumer and bernie sanders and amy klobuchar you know they'll be pushback against what the president is doing. canada, australia and japan do. >> there's going to be pushback in the sad that if they don't come up with a plan, i would like to see congress say they want sovereign borders and i have not heard a. >> final work, the tsa, they are deploying tsa officials and air marshals to the border, final word on that? >> is strolling our resources away from other places to go down there. but the president has no choice, he has to flood the border with

resources. he does not have a lot of choice. >> come back soon. i'm so sorry we not of time. thank you so much for having us and thank you for watching. we got more news for you tomorrow. lou dobbs up next. ♪. lou: good evening everyone the trump white house today on the offensive siding down congressional radical dems as they continue to carry out their campaign and obstruction on capitol hill. tonight we look at the white house response to the radical dems in the deep date who are stopping at nothing trying to subvert the president and block his policy initiatives. jeff jordan and victoria tensing them a guest tonight, the national security crisis other southern border region on,
