"the evening edit" starts right
6:01 pm
now. [♪] we begin in washington with implications all across the country and stretching to beijing and beyond. the trade war with china. during a wide-ranging news conference in the news conference, president trump suggesting only one person knows the latest deadline for the tariffs to be, and that's him. reporter: the president unpredictable to say the least. the president and first lady just wrapped up a reception held for the polish president and his wife. the polish president got what he wanted during this visit to the white house. he wanted to have a closer military relationship with the united states.
6:02 pm
president trump announcing eventually an additional 2,000 troops will be moved from germany to poland. he said the u.s. will sell 35 f-35 fighter jets to poland. president trump seemingly relaxed and confidence in this relationship. >> i believe russia will treat poland with respect. poland built up a great country. they get hurt unfortunately too often. too often. they are in the middle of everything. when bad things happen, it seems poland is always the first one that's in there and it's unfortunate. >> on china, the president says they had a trade deal finishes. he adds that china needs to come back with the same deal they agreed to. the president giving no
6:03 pm
timetable when wants to see that deal completed. >> do you have a deadline for imposing -- you i have no deadline. my deadline is what's up here. we'll figure out the deadline. nobody can quite figure it out. blake: maybe that's a signal the tariffs in the trade dispute will be prolonged. the chinese digging in. china saying if the u.s. imposes those extra tariffs then they will retaliate. >> president trump looking forward to that meeting with xi jinping most likely at the g20 in japan. before that news conference the president pushed back on reports that his internal polling suggests he trails the democratic contenders in key states, including joe biden. the president said we have great
6:04 pm
internal polling. but polling nationally show him losing to bind in traditionally rock solid red texas. the president called them fake polls and ridiculous. president trump: we are winning in every single state we polled. we are winning in texas, ohio, and florida. they were fake polls put out by the corrupt media, much of the media in this country unfortunately is corrupt. joining me now is sean spice were and former senior visor to the america first pac. so what do the internal polls show. there is a tweet out by one of your colleagues, the communications director for the campaign showing the internal
6:05 pm
polling is showing the president is wing. what's the truth here. what have you seen in. >> i haven't seep internal polling. i'm on the super pac side so i am prohibited from seeing it. rnc spent $175 million wilg -- building out the most of sophisticated polling data. the data is what's going to drive this election. look at public polling is literally a waste of time. i'm not saying that because we are behind. number one, it's a public poll. meaning these guys are getting the cheapest ones. it's registered voters. we are months out from considering a general election. there is no nominee. joe biden hasn't had a glove
6:06 pm
laid on him yet. he has 25 other people gunning for him. it's looking at the landscape now is ridiculous. if you look back the obama people would tell you the same thing. until you have a head-to-head match and people are starting to focus on the election, it's a waste of time. the data is driving it. any poll that suggests. tech as is definitely tightened up. but the idea we are down in texas is insane. i get -- this race is going to be tight. if you look at the number of states that were close last cycle. blake: the detroit news shows you down there big. >> if you look at the polls the last cycle it shows us down big. it shows us how close we have to go to close the gap.
6:07 pm
any poll showing us down double digits in texas is ridiculous. texas, there is a lot of migration in texas because the governor has done a phenomenal job of making it business friendly. but it's not at that state yet. blake: the president seems to be focusing on joe biden. smart for the president to focus on the frontrunner at this point? >> absolutely. the point is, if you believe somebody has got the greatest probability of becoming the nominee, in terms of not just his name i.d. but his favorability in the key battleground states, then the earlier you can you brand him the better. why wait until the end. take him down, soften him up, that's the smart move. he's focused where he should be. you shouldn't be focusing on
6:08 pm
guys polling that 1%, 2%. blake: the president is branding joe biden as 1 percent joe, sleepy joe. more news from the campaign front. howard schultz is suspending his campaign at least for the moment. the former starbucks ceo think of running as an independent says he's taking the summer off after recently undergoing three back surgeries. he says he's looking forward to be in touch after labor day. protests in hong kong turning violent. you see some of the video there. the crowds opposing a government plan to allow extradition to mainland china. president trump commenting on that situation earlier today.
6:09 pm
>> the massive demonstrations. that is a million people. when you look at this demonstration, that was a million people. that was as big a demonstration as i have ever seen. i hope it all work out for china and hong kong. connell mcshane is in hong kong for us tonight. reporter: it's been a long and important day in hong kong. it ended in violence with the tear gas and rubber bullets used on the protesters. but the protesters themselves were able to claim a victory in the short term early in the day. the extradition bill they are speaking out against was to be debated in the hong kong legislature. because the streets were blocked off by the protesters. those who were debating the bill couldn't get inside the building. the authorities felt they had no choice but to delay the debate. the protesters message to us was
6:10 pm
quite clear. we love hong kong. they just don't want to see a change. >> we are hoping to save our hong kong. we don't have freedom in china. but congress congress is not like china. we are making a big difference today. reporter: ways so special about hong kong. >> hong kings an administrative region. we have high integrity and our own judicial and executive power. we are not exactly under the chinese government's rules. so we are hoping to keep high integrity in hong kong. >> what happens next is still up in the air. but the legislature is still controlled by pro beijing officials. the fear is from those who oppose it, just about anybody accused of a crime living here in hong kong would face at least
6:11 pm
the risk of being sent to mainland china where the judicial system is much different. >> it's about to be daybreak in hong kong. thank you very much. coming up. more concerns regarding facebook and privacy. this a new report that facebook has concerned about an email trail that might reach all the way to the top. earlier in the show, phase two. that's what president trump says could be in play if mexico doesn't live up to its immigration agreement. but what does phase 2 mean? fact is, every insurance company hopes you drive safely.
6:12 pm
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? and i recently had hi, ia heart attack. it changed my life. but i'm a survivor. after my heart attack, my doctor prescribed brilinta. it's for people who have been hospitalized for a heart attack. brilinta is taken with a low-dose aspirin. no more than 100 milligrams as it affects how well brilinta works. brilinta helps keep platelets from sticking together and forming a clot. in a clinical study, brilinta worked better than plavix. brilinta reduced the chance of having another heart attack... ...or dying from one. don't stop taking brilinta without talking to your doctor, since stopping it too soon increases your risk of clots in your stent, heart attack, stroke,
6:13 pm
and even death. brilinta may cause bruising or bleeding more easily, or serious, sometimes fatal bleeding. don't take brilinta if you have bleeding, like stomach ulcers, a history of bleeding in the brain, or severe liver problems. slow heart rhythm has been reported. tell your doctor about bleeding new or unexpected shortness of breath any planned surgery, and all medicines you take. if you recently had a heart attack, ask your doctor if brilinta is right for you. my heart is worth brilinta. if you can't afford your medication, astrazeneca may be able to help.

kristina partsinevelos what is this all about? >> facebook promised they co-would respect a d they would respect a user's privacy settings and wouldn't share your data without your permission. but facebook may have communicated with developers and known about privacy settings that weren't protected. but this could connect mark zuckerberg himself, the founder, chairman and ceo of facebook to potential implications of not following through with the consent decree with the fcc.

we have had a strong counterterrorism and law enforcement relationship with them. our military trained them on a number of different occasions. i trained polish special operations. they have been a key integral part of our global war and terror. it's something they want in this case. but it's more symbolic in nature. one thing that's more symbolic is if we have this military base in poland, they actually want to pay for it. we don't see many things like that happening. blake: the president made a point to say it would not be taxpayer are dollars. we'll see what happens down the line. thanks for joining us tonight. blake: coming up. bernie sanders takes the gloves

6:52 pm
outcomes. when you start flipping that, it doesn't work very well. a. >> i guess that it doesn't work. i think most of people of would say that. you saw what happened in 2016. it was a message that resonated. bernie sanders went from nowhere to taking down hillary clinton. what do you make of that. >> i think it does resonate for a lot of reasons, including the financial crisis. young people have never been taught in the classrooms in their economics or history courses what capitalism has done to enrich the world. they heard all the wonders of socialism and come anything in their left-wing faculties. bernie sanders, you have to give him credit for appealing to yoang people and also to moving as a result the democratic party hard to the left. i think they will be worried,
