i can't get my head around it. david: when you are under 30, you don't have a 30 year plan when you're under 30. i don't think any of us did when we were that age. thank you, gang. that does it for bulls & bears. have a wonderful weekend. thank you for joining us. see you next time. elizabeth: president trump now in the air flying to tokyo before he left he slammed what he says are the democrats attempted takedown of him. the president promising he will expose everything, arguing it's not payback. also tonight nancy pelosi and the democrats trying to have it both ways, impeachment. their rhetoric heating up as public interests according to the polls showing that the interest in the democrats probe in russia are going down. a growing number of democrats claim that impeachment is only way to block the president from winning a second term. that debate coming up. democrat outrage over the president moving last night to declassify russia probe documents. here's what they may be worried

about. mueller's team may have known there was no trump russia collusion in late 2017. so did democrats and obama intelligence officials know that and was the mueller probe all about a perjury trap for trump? to the battle at the border, the surge of migrants crossing the border now equals the size of small cities as tax payers increasingly have to foot the bill even in states far from the border. but the democrats trying to paint that concern as anti-immigrant. that fiery debate coming up. plus guess which top 2020 democrat candidate once denounced illegal immigrants saying quote they have to have a way to earn their what in. this is not amnesty. they have got to learn english. you may be surprised at that answer coming up. to the liberal new york times now blasting liberal politicians for ruining america's citizen state saying they are quote inadequate. they don't know how to govern. the paper citing as its main evidence california and you won't believe what we found that california's democrat liberals are now doing. california wants to deploy its

national guard to go after criminal illegal drug cartels, running illegal marijuana farms, but those california liberals will not deploy the guard to protect the border to stop those cartels from coming in. that story tonight. plus the clock now ticking till theresa may steps down. our guest tonight mr. brexit himself, on who he thinks will replace may as the prime minister of the u.k. and the state of brexit, his reactions tonight. also we're going to ask him whether he will meet with the president on british soil when the president and first lady make their u.k. visit next month. how will the british people react to the president? that story coming up. to the devastation in the heartland, a staggering 229 tornadoes reported in the midwest and plain states since last friday. on average that's 33 tornadoes a day. an exceedingly rare monster tornado tore through jefferson city, missouri. we will hear from the mayor of

missouri's capital on that tonight. also much more on whether or not they will see more tornadoes coming. thanks for joining us. i'm elizabeth mcdonald. "the evening edit" starts right now. ♪ elizabeth: thanks for joining us. you are watching the fox business network. president trump on his way to tokyo after a busy and dramatic week that saw an unprecedented war of words in washington. let's get to hillary vaughn in d.c. with the latest. hillary? >> liz, the feud between president trump and the democrats seems like it is never going to end because the president sounded off again on speaker pelosi and house democrats on his way to japan saying it is time for democrats to pick between investigations or getting things done. tweeting moments ago from air force one that it is time to stop playing games and go back to work. >> i don't think they are capable of going down two tracks. i think they can only do one thing or the other.

they have to get over their anger and they have to get into infrastructure, drug prices, and things like that because they want to do a redo. >> president trump also saying his decision to declassify documents is not political payback, and he doesn't know everything that's in those documents in the first place. >> we're going to see. i gave as you know i declassified i guess potentially millions of pages of documents. i don't know what it is. i have no idea. our attorney general is in charge. let's see what he finds. >> house intelligence committee chair adam schiff joining a chorus of other democrats not pleased with the decision to make documents available saying that uncovering the pages is just the next stage of a cover-up that has entered a new and dangerous phase in their opinion. liz? elizabeth: hillary vaughn in washington, thank you very much. the democrat debates start in one month. president trump is going after house speaker nancy pelosi. critics say pelosi and the democrats want to have it both

was on impeachment. -- both ways on impeachment. here's the president defending himself earlier today >> can't go down two tracks. i would like to talk about lowering drug prices which i have done better than any president ever. we had a year -- this year as you know, drug prices went down, first time in 51 years. they want to do a redo of the mueller report. it's over. there is no redo. they lost. i can absolutely work -- did you hear? she made horrible statements. i just responded in kind. they want to try and get a do-over of the mueller report. it doesn't work that way. i was the most transparent and am transparent president in history. elizabeth: okay. let's bring in the heritage foundation. kelsey, i want you to tackle this one first. the democrat outrage over the president declassifying russia probe documents in order to find out how it launched. here's what we're hearing reports coming in that democrats may be worried about this, is that mueller's team may have

known there was no trump russia collusion in late 2017. the issue is, did democrats and obama intelligence officials know that too? and was the mueller probe from 2018 forward all about a perjury trap for trump? >> this one, liz, is hard to understand because first, democrats are upset with president trump considering impeachment for not releasing enough materials regarding the mueller report. those materials of course that were redacted were only grand jury materials. members of congress got to see the rest of it. and now these democrats in congress are upset with the justice department releasing too many documents, for being too transparent. the math doesn't really add up here. i think this is clearly very political. and more importantly it shows that democrats are scared of what's to come in these released material. elizabeth: yeah, so in other words, how solid the evidence was and lack thereof to launch the probe. and here's the other thing, kelsey, i would like you to

tackle, the democrats and pelosi strategy, it seems increasingly incoherent trying to have it both ways. accusing the president of all things impeachable to appease the 35 house members on the left but avoiding a real impeachment process to appease the 40 house moderates, the democrats who could lose their seats and cost the democrats control of the house. >> right, there are a lot of moderate democrats who do not want to go down the path of impeachment, and their seats are at risk if they choose to do so. we also know that according to new harvard polling, 65% of americans are against impeachment. we also know that 80% of americans would rather pursue -- congress pursue a legislative agenda, infrastructure, healthcare, immigration, rather than pursuing the russian investigation which we have already spent millions of dollars and countless hours on. so i think it is hard to square the democrats decision to pander towards this small minority of

radical democrats who want to pursue impeachment versus actually attempting to reach across the aisle and get policy achievements done on behalf of the american people. elizabeth: yeah, 150 house bills passed in the house, but dead on arrival in the senate. mitch mcconnell says they are unacceptable. it is just 17 laws enacted this year. you know, pelosi and the democrat rhetoric is heating up as you point out. it is heating up in tandem as polls show public interest in their trump probe going down. here's nancy pelosi tweeting and mocking president trump's quote stable genius remark. also the other thing kelsey i want you to point out is democrats keep pushing for impeachment because they feel it is the only way that the president will not win reelection. let's watch these sound bites. >> the process is deep and strong, but slow moving. and that's how they wanted it. that's how it is. but it's worked pretty well for

220 years, and i don't think someone like donald trump is going to be able ultimately to up end it. >> when you have a constitution and you have a rule of law and it is being destroyed in a reckless gangster manner, you need to act. the only reason not to act is because of politics. >> now listen to al green on why he wants impeachment. adam schiff agrees with what al green is about to say. watch >> if we don't impeach this president, he will get re-elected. >> i don't think this country could survive another four years of a president like this who gets up every day trying to find new and inventive ways to divide us. >> kelsey, your reaction to that >> there's absolutely no polling data that backs that up, that is, if democrats choose the path of impeachment, that it will help them in the 2020 election. if anything, we know it is going to hurt them. we've learned that in the clinton impeachment trials, and we know it very well could happen again here. importantly, i think again

americans want to see congress do their jobs and their job of course is to do oversight. they have done plenty of that thus far. now it is time to move past that and pursue a legislative agenda to actually come up with policies that can better the lives of the american people. elizabeth: kelsey of the heritage foundation, thank you very much. to freshman republican chip roy, his single vote blocked the 19 billion dollars disaster aid package outraging democrats. we have more from capitol hill. >> it just wasn't democrats who were outraged. i talked to a number of republicans today in the house who indicated they were outraged. they are calling this an act of political arson by chip roy. here's what happened. the senate approved this disaster relief bill yesterday, 85 to 8. they finally pried that loose, and most of the house had gone home, so they were going to try to approve this in the house of representatives with a skeleton staff on board. you can do that by unanimous consent. that means nobody's object.

a freshman democrat from florida she went down to the floor and asked unanimous consent. chip roy was the only republican there and he objected. donna she was pretty upset about this later on. >> it's tragic. there are people that are hurting in my state of florida, in texas, all around the country, and this disaster aid is critical, and one individual, his position is irresponsible. >> now, the house of representatives is out. we're expecting them possibly to try on june 4th to do this, pass this bill with a roll call vote. i asked chip roy about that vote coming up whenever they do vote. listen to what he had to say. >> didn't you just delay the inevitable? >> this is respectfully swamp speak; right? delaying the inevitable. it's the inevitability of d.c., the inevitability of spending where we don't speak up and voice the concerns that i hear when i go back to every town in texas. >> now, the house majority

leader steny hoyer has indicated that the house has two brief sessions scheduled next week where they could try to do this again. they could try by unanimous consent. they would essentially dare chip roy to object again. if he doesn't, then the house passes the bill and it is in route to president trump. one thing for sure, coming into the day, chip roy was a back bencher, not many people knew who he was. you can guarantee now liz that everybody in washington knows his name. back to you. elizabeth: chad in washington, thank you very much. coming up you know things are bad when the liberal leaning new york times blames liberal politicians for ruining america's stays and states and making them unlivable. that debate is coming up. plus we will hear first-hand from the mayor of jefferson city, missouri, devastated by an exceptionally powerful and rare and destructive tornado. the heartland suffering through an average of 33 tornadoes a day in just the last week? that shocking story, coming up.

named eisenhower expressway in chicago, aptly named because eisenhower planned the d-day invasion, supreme allied commander during world war ii. if he were here alive today, he would see, though, the invasion of the memorial day motorists. take a look at the numbers on this. this is the busiest travel day according to the triple a since 2005, and the second busiest on record. 37 million folks are going to hit the roads in addition to more folks out on the rails and in the air. the good news and bad news are gas prices, well, today, they were $2.88 the average gallon of regular, up about 30% from where it was during the lows in january of this past year. but the good news is that if you compare this year's gas prices to memorial day a year ago, well, it is actually cheaper this year. so there's a positive. not a positive, though, if you

are traveling, liz, in places like chicago, detroit, and l.a. this afternoon. that is because the triple a says those will be the worst possible places to be driving right now, the worst traffic at least, but, you know, in some ways it is a positive because that is all the fruits of a booming economy. people have money in their pockets, jobs, and places to go on memorial day, places where they want to go, they can go. that would be a positive. elizabeth: jeff flock the next assignment for him is the best rest stops in america. the liberal leaning new york times now blasting liberal politicians saying they are ruining america's cities and states because they don't know how to govern. quote: >> let's bring in former cke

restaurant ceo, author of "the capitalist comeback". good to see you. >> good to be here. elizabeth: your take on the times, big reveal from them. >> it was a big reveal. i lived california for 25 years. in california they believe business people are the enemy and the government is the solution to every problem. what they don't realize is the government is the cause of all their problems. huge income inequality. 20% poverty rate. 1 out of every 5 people live in poverty in california. it is a miserable situation. san francisco kind of leads the state politically and economically. the streets are covered with needles and trash, income inequality is through the roof. most of the people live in poverty, unless you are a stockbrok stockbroker, lawyer, accountant, somebody who takes care of the billionaires, you have problems. elizabeth: they are chasing away the people that can help. >> they are driving them out of

the state. i know so many people i knew when lived in california, very productive business people that left, couldn't take it anymore. elizabeth: let's get to the disconnect in california policy, suing to keep a billion dollars in federal tax money for that failed high speed rail project but then it wants to also spend a lot of money on millions of dollars for healthcare for illegals. now, americans are humanitarian. it is about setting a growth environment in the state. you won't believe what else we found out in california. the california and its democrat governor gavin newsom wants to deploy california's national guard to go after criminal illegal drug cartels running illegal pot farms, but he won't deploy the guard at the border to stop them from coming in in the first place; right? >> this is when somebody like newsom who believes government is the solution to every problem. he has to find a way to employ his power as governor to try and address all these issues. california is a wonderful state. it was full of entrepreneurs at

one time. elizabeth: it is the death of common sense. >> you make it so you can't get ahead. the government stops you every time you try and do something that makes sense, the government prevents it, building houses, running businesses that are open, building businesses, government doesn't create prosperity. california will be the venezuela of america, that's my prediction. elizabeth: why do you say that? >> because they are heading down a socialist path. i don't even think you can get people in california to deny they are heading down a socialist path. i think they will end up with huge income inequality. the elites at the top will lead wonderful lives. elizabeth: or they may leave. >> or leave. the super rich people just don't care, the people in silicon valley. elizabeth: andy, we love having you on. >> great to be here. elizabeth: you came from socialist cleveland, didn't you? i'm kidding. >> 25 years -- i finally said look i'm not a socialist. i can't live in a socialist state. i left california, went to tennessee, great state. elizabeth: cleveland is not

socialist. i was kidding. >> cleveland is great city. i grew up there. elizabeth: good to see you. as many as 13 people injured when a bomb packed in a bag or a suitcase that was loaded with nails exploded in the shopping area in france. officials now opening a terror probe there. we're staying on that story for you. more bad news for boeing. the faa says that returning the 737 max jets to the skies will now be delayed by its re-evaluation of the older 737 models. this is the model that was involved in the two deadly crashes that killed nearly 350 people. also this, united airlines say it is extending its 737 max cancellations by a month for august 3rd up to 45 cancellations a day in the u.s. also the losses from the groundings of boeing airplanes, nearly 600 million dollars, no word yet on how that will affect

compromise. -- depends on compromise. elizabeth: joining me now is fox news contributor and mr. brexit himself, nigel farage, thank you for joining us. >> hello there. elizabeth: your thoughts on may's address this morning? she started crying at the end. >> well, on a human level, obviously it was a very difficult thing to watch, painful, but politically she misread the mood of the country. she misread the mood of her own party. a brexit bill that was a half in, half out brexit bill. we voted to leave. we wanted a clear decisive let's get out from european union rules she tried to keep us too close. in the end, i'm afraid it was her own doing. elizabeth: will conservative boris johnson be the next prime minister? what do you think? who would you prefer? >> well, on sunday night we get the result of yesterday's

european elections. everybody in the u.k. voted yesterday. the conservative party, less than 10% of the vote. the brexit party which i founded six weeks ago because i had to reenter the fray is due to top the polls at 35%. so whoever the conservatives choose, whether it's boris johnson or not, without my support, they're not going to win the next election. elizabeth: who do you prefer? >> well, anybody. it could be boris. anybody that says we are leaving the eu promptly so we're free to do trade deals with america or anybody else. boris at the moment is the front-runner. let's wait and see what his platform is. elizabeth: president trump and the first lady will be visiting britain in june. now, are you planning on meeting with them because there's lots of talk that the president wants you u to attend the state banquet in his honor? >> well, it is a difficult

question because the invitation comes from the queen. if the president would like me to come, that's great. but i'm not going to push it too hard because i would never ever want to do anything that insults the queen. let's be clear. i know president trump well. he's a friend of mine. he wants brexit so we can get away from, you know, the unelected european commission and get britain and america back closer again, so yeah, i hope to see him. elizabeth: do trade deals just like norway does with 150 other countries. that's sort of a model. >> absolutely. elizabeth: there's been a lot of pushback about the president's visit. how will the british people react to the president and first lady's trip there? >> well, there's antitrump media. the truth of it is, trump is much more popular than it was when he last came to our country. i think to be honest with you, he's coming above all to commemorate the 75th anniversary of d-day, the day on which

america and the u.k. and canada, between them, liberated europe, defeated naziism, brought democracy back, and i think trump is in for a very good visit. elizabeth: you know, here's the thing, british people in private have said that they appreciate a strong leader, like president trump, whether you disagree or agree with his policies, they appreciate that he loves his country. what is your take on that? >> absolutely. and i think, you know, may with a series of promises she never delivered. donald trump like him or not was elected, and as he said the other week he's kept more promises that he actually made. trump, love him or hate him, he's doing a great job. the one thing i know for certain is we have an american president who loves the united kingdom, respects our history and i think with brexit, our two countries have great future together. elizabeth: you meant democrat in the lower case d version of the word; right, nigel? >> he believes in democracy.

he doesn't believe in socialism, absolutely. elizabeth: nigel farage, you are terrific. come back soon. >> thank you. elizabeth: this story a staggering 229 tornadoes reported in the nation's heart land since last friday. seven people now dead in multiple states. in just one 24 hour period on wednesday, 19 tornadoes struck the state of missouri, including its capital, jefferson city. with me now is the mayor of jefferson city. mayor, your honor, thank you very much for joining us. we are so so sorry for what's going on. can you tell us what is happening on the ground right now? what do you need? >> yes, right now we're seeing a lot of cleanup crews. they are restoring power lines. we have a massive effort to get debris out of the roadway, trying to go through engineering and seeing if homes are stable and which homes are not, so we have a lot of that effort going on now. >> last night you set a safety

curfew for the city to help the first responders get in. do you think you're going to need to extend the curfew through the memorial day weekend? >> we have extended it again tonight. we will do that on a daily basis. it is necessary because a lot of people have been displaced from their homes and businesses in the affected areas, and actually people are very appreciative and understanding and glad that we've put this into place because it gives them more assurance, those that had to leave their homes that people can't get in. many people lost, you know, their doors and windows and roofs and walls. elizabeth: awful, explosive we tornado hit your area. do you have an estimate on the damage that it caused to the city? the storms? >> we don't yet. we know it is very expensive. it covered a very large area of the city. it took in a very long, long and wide portion of the city. elizabeth: your honor, when we covered superstorm sandy that hit the tri-state area, about

seven years ago, you know, i went out with a stick mic and interesting stories were this, that the true heroes are of course the firemen and emergency responders, but the unsung heroes are the garbage men who have to come in and clear out the debris so that other first responders can get in. is that what you are seeing with what happened to your capital? >> we are seeing, yes, all hands on deck, every group, every industry, the public safety, our jefferson city police and fire department and surrounding communities have sent in agencies and public safety, but yes, it is everybody. we've had the trash groups, the electrical, i mean, you name it, every single group is working together so diligently and quickly to get this thing -- we know it is going to take a long time, but getting the clean up quickly has been key so we can get in these neighborhoods and areas to get things safe and restored as much as possible. elizabeth: the evening edit and fox business shows and fox news shows cover the heartland, cover

>> we want to have protection, the middle east, we're going to be sending a relatively small number of troops, mostly protective and some very talented people are going to the middle east right now. and we'll see how -- and we will see what happens. elizabeth: president trump confirming that he has approved the pentagon's plan to send roughly 1,000 more troops to the middle east. this as fox news learns exclusively the newly declassified intelligence shows that trump sanctions has iran and its terror militias on the ropes. iran is running short of cash as tighter u.s. sanctions deal a blow to iran's economy. fox news rich edson is at the state department with more. rich? >> donation boxes, budget cuts, social media campaigns, featuring children in fatigues to raise money. state department officials say newly declassified intelligence shared exclusively with fox news shows iran backed militias

across the middle east are strapped for cash. >> when people talk about iran's regional aggression, they are talking about iran's support for its proxies, hamas, hezbollah, shia militias in iraq and syria and yemen. we are making it harder for all of these terrorist organizations to operate. >> the state department credits 26 rounds of american sanctions against nearly a thousand targets. officials say intelligence shows iran has warned shia militia groups to find new revenue sources, hamas has enacted austerity plans to address less funding from tehran. iran cyber command needs money. and a fuel shortage in syria as the u.s. has cut off one to three million barrels of oil a month that iran once supplied to the assad regime. democrats and european governments still part of the nuclear deal criticized the trump administration's withdrawal from it saying it would further destabilize a volatile region and encourage iran to restart its nuclear program. the u.s. says it is playing the

long game. iran's president has rejected negotiations with the united states saying the situation between the two countries is not suitable for talks. he says iran's only choice is resistance. liz? elizabeth: rich edson at the state department. joining me now heritage foundation senior research fellow for defense programs retired lieutenant colonel dakota wood. colonel, what is your reaction to rich edson's reporting there? >> the key message there is the sanctions are having an effect. absent those, iran would continue to develop missile technologies, provide support to the terrorist groups that were mentioned and really just causing mayhem stretching from iran westward through iraq and syria and down into attacks on israel and if you look eastward from iran, into afghanistan as well. so clearly the policy is having an impact and absent that policy, you would see a very militarized aggressive iran and they are reacting to that. elizabeth: i would like your

reaction to democrats including senator feinstein blasting the trump white house for fast tracking 8 billion dollars in arms deals through our middle east allies essentially saying that money is being used to foment more unrest in yemen with catastrophic costs to humanity >> again, it is the typical blowback against president trump. it doesn't matter what he does. he's going to have his critics. what he's doing with his advisors is looking at u.s. interests in the region, who is assisting us in some way and who is working against us. clearly iran and its proxies in the region, with the rebel who have conducted attacks in western targets as well. to the extent we can help deal with security challenges in the region, i think it is proper for the administration the pursue that course of action. elizabeth: colonel, thank you for joining us. coming up, democrats outraged

that president trump moves to declassify documents on how the russia probe started. this could be about the mueller team and potentially democrats and obama intelligence officials who reportedly may have known there was no trump russia collusion maybe as early as 2017. so the question is now this, was this about a perjury trap for the president and his team? we take on that debate next. 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. can't see what it is yet.re?

sleep number. proven, quality sleep. elizabeth: democrats outraged over president trump's move to declassify government documents on how the russia probe started. this might be what they are really upset about, the mueller team and potentially maybe democrats and obama intelligence officials knew early on there was no trump russia collusion. maybe as early as 2017. maybe that's when the mueller probe, mueller team realized there was nothing there. so is this all about a possible perjury trap for president trump? for his reaction, let's go to the "wall street journal" editorial board member bill mcgurn. this is impeachment in search of a crime? >> absolutely as you were saying. i don't know whether it's perjury, but if you look at the volume 2, it's obstruction. look, it's all corrupt from the root, with the special counsel. special counsel is supposed to investigate a crime, not go looking for a crime. in this case, the latter is what

we have. and we went through two years of the president of the united states being hailed as an agent of the russian government, right, by some of the top people, by the former cia director. it's just crazy. elizabeth: and they kept saying -- democrats said they saw secret evidence. >> that's the implication from james comey, from john brannan and from james clapper that they were in the position to know so when they say trump might be -- elizabeth: yes. >> recently comey repeated this. he was in an interview with cnn and they said is it possible the russians have stuff on him? he said oh yes it is possible. of course it is possible. but he should have said it is possible but i was at the fbi. we deal with hard evidence, and in two years, no one's turned up any evidence. elizabeth: nothing. >> to support that. elizabeth: here's a democrat contradiction here too, when president trump, remember when he blasted the obama administration for revealing and exposing intelligence documents the names of people on his campaign and their conversation, and the democrats then said, you

know what, trump? you are saying that go ahead and declassify. eric swalwell said quote if the president wants to say that susan rice for example committed a crime he has the power to declassify. no one else does. now they are really outraged over that. democrats are saying it is quote un-american for the president to declassify documents showing secret info on what launched the mueller probe, but they want the secret intelligence files also behind the mueller probe; right? >> right, right, look, they don't really want information and now they are getting scared that it is going to come out. wasn't this just a few days ago that mrs. pelosi said the president is engaged in a cover up? bill barr is making the mueller report public when he didn't have to. now he's being asked to declassify information. what's most important is for the american people to find out what happened in 2016. mr. barr himself said the more he's asked these questions of the intelligence community, the more questions he has. elizabeth: the doj ig probe

could come out, the report next month. a columnist says democrats may pay an even heavier price to history when americans look back on this period and say that our intelligence operations and media deliberately whipped up the public over the russia collusion crimes that never existed. they knew early on in 2017 there was no collusion and if they waited more than a year to reveal that, what were they doing during that year, trying to do what? >> i don't know, look, the two questions is how they started with this. did they verify -- i mean, a lot of it comes back to the steele dossier and steele and his reliability. how early did they know there were problems with this guy? i suspect we will find out they knew pretty early. and then they used that material. andrew mccabe, deputy director of the fbi said no steele dossier, no fisa warrant. you know, what were they doing? if mr. mueller came in, the whole purpose of the investigation was to find out whether donald trump or members of his team were with russian agents if they knew right away,

why would they keep going? just as you say to give democrats a road map to impeachment probably courtesy of one of his lawyers. elizabeth: thanks for joining us. >> thank you. elizabeth: coming up you will never guess which 2020 democrat said illegal immigrants have to have a way to earn their way into legal immigration, and he said they need to learn english too. you may be surprised at that name coming up. hopes you drive safely. but allstate actually helps you drive safely... with drivewise. it lets you know when you go too fast... ...and brake too hard. with feedback to help you drive safer. giving you the power to actually lower your cost. unfortunately, it can't do anything about that. now that you know the truth... are you in good hands?

liz: okay. it was joe biden who said that illegal immigrants have to have a way to earn their way into legal migrant status. he said this is not amnesty. he said it to msnbc's chris matthews in 2006 and sined said immigrants need to learn english too. let's ask need for his thoughts on that. what do you think? >> pretty amazing to see the sea change that's changing place in the democratic party in the last ten or 12 years. you look at the rhetoric of joe biden, barack obama and hill hiy clinton, senators biden, obama and clinton all voted for hundreds and hundreds of miles of border wall and fencing back in tuition. and now it shows how they've been captured by the open borders crude that has manipulated the democratic

party. liz: and bernie sanders said immigrants are hurting the working class. >> that's right. liz: chris matthews also said to joe biden, quote, if we want the problems of canada now, keep encouraging people to keep their foreign language. english is going to unite this country to what joe biden answered, quote, i don't of a country that has two languages as their accepted languages is doing all that well. your response to that. >> when you come to america you're coming not only to experience the american dream but buy into the american dream. liz: well you're considered racist if you have those biden ideas right now j isn'. >> isn't this insane, can that, australia, all of these countries have a merit based immigration system. bernie sanders made a great

point. by the time you add it up, every month we're literally importing a small city of unskilled or low-skilled workers into the country in the face of mass automation. the american worker i think is in jeopardy from mass automation. this is insanity, madness for us to continue down this path and we have deeply immoral political leaders on both sides of the aisle that refuse to fix this problem. liz: why sit immoral. >> it's immoral because they're to protect the american people and the american tax people and what is taking place is to the detriment of the american taxpayer. liz: and now they're being putting further away from the border. >> 445,000 by the end of the year, some of them with court dates in 2023 and a lot of them aren't going to show up if are the court date. liz: americans are humanitarian people. this is pushing it here. >> we're being abused.
