>> if air travel isn't pleasant but still incredibly safe, safer than driving and walking on the street. >> and that does it for bulls & bears guys thank you all to our viewers also for joining us. liz: tonight the u.s. iran fight is now a war of words and money, the president hitting back again very hard, against the leader of iran and others with new sanctions and president trump's pressure on iran has cut iran's oil output by about two-thirds iran's economy is reeling tonight, the first national tv interview with the head of u.s. military intelligence whose agency is just completed its iran assessment. to the big flashy policy drop from bernie sanders just two days before the first democrat debate, tonight, how bernie continues to mislead voters on his new third rail entitlement plan to wipe out $1.6 trillion

in college debt, including how bernie's own plan does nothing to stop the underlying cause, it's tax exempt colleges who gouge middle class families with higher tuition and how bernie's new taxes to pay for his plan would force the same students themselves and parents to pay for it. we have art laffer and all of that and much more as top democrats now publicly say that their party is way out of touch with the working class, and that the democrats will have to raise everyone's taxes, including the middle class to pay for their big 2020 democrat big government plans ending up creating even more big government customers, who will soon outnumber those that have to pay for it. to the deplorable conditions, awful conditions and migrant children holding centers, it is a problem that highlights and puts the shame, the d.c. partisan blame game, but now, the republicans blasting back, saying house democrats have blocked humanitarian aid 17

times. that story tonight, to north korea's leader kim jong-un now seriously considering a " excellent letter" from president trump. that story tonight as we bring you new details on the locations and more than 300 places in north korea, where people have been publicly executed for things like theft or damage to property. also, did you know that june 15 was "impeach trump day"? well it came and went. virtually no voter turnout at rallies but democrats now trying to turn out the anti-trump rhetoric and is falling flat. tonight 2020 democrat joe biden is trying to undercut president trump with joe biden trying to compare the reaction of president trump's victory to reactions to the assassinations of martin luther king and bobby kennedy. i'm elizabeth macdonald the evening edit starts right now.

welcome to the show you're watching the fox business network. let's get to edward lawrence at the white house, it was an extremely busy day today, in washington edward. reporter: yeah, very busy, in fact president donald trump saying he is putting what he calls hard hitting sanctions on iran's supreme leader as well as other major senior officials in iran, now this basically denies them access to the banking system in the u.s. and allied banking systems. president trump: these measures represent a strong and proportion at response to iran's increasingly provocative actions we will continue to increase pressure on tehran. reporter: there have been more than 1,000 sanctions placed on iran under this administration since 2017 and it's by far the most active sanction program for the treasury department. now president donald trump also stack tackling healthcare crisis and signed an executive order on

transparency and pricing. consumers must be aware of the real costs related to the care that they get. president trump: the decades powerful companies, lobbyists and special interest have denied the public access to the real cost of the healthcare services they provide. it's that simple. this lack of price transparency enriched industry giants greatly costing americans hundreds of billions of dollars a year. reporter: that's big changes coming for health care providers specifically hospitals, in the next 60 days the department of health and human services were proposed a regulation requiring hospitals to publicly post standard charge information, in 90 days, as for comments on expected out of pocket costs for items for services, and in 180 days, a report addressing who is slowing down the effort to have those prices transparent. the president is saying he wants to make sure there's consistency and no one is over charged for those procedures. the president also tackling healthcare in this way before he

leaves for the g20 summit the big news from the summit will be in the u.s. can restart trade negotiations with china. the chinese have been hardening their tone over the past few days. >> some individual countries have been insisting on unilateralism and protectionism and abusing trade remedy measure s and national security exceptionalism. that country has slapped tariffs on its trading partners, causing major threats to the global trade investment and economic growth. reporter: and i confirmed a phone call happened between the u.s. trade representative robert lighthizer, treasury secretary steven mnuchin and the chinese vice premier today and the two delegations will meet in japan ahead of the two world leaders meeting in the meantime the president will be going forward with putting basically everything else that chinese imports into the united states under tariff and the administration now saying that it might not actually be a 25% tariff to start with, but the way the timing is playing out it appears those tariffs could be in place when the g20 summit can

be ready to be in place when the g20 summit ends, liz? liz: thank you edward in washington d.c. we've got plenty more to discuss on iran later in the show, including a report from the pentagon also strategic analysis from retired general jack keane. let's get to bernie sanders out with his plan to wipe out $1.6 trillion in student debt. it's a splashy policy drop just two days before the first democrat debate in miami and this is a bigger cancellation plan than the one from elizabeth warren. let's bring in art laffer. great to see you, art. >> hey, e-mac it's wonderful to be on your show thank you for having me. liz: so art bernie wants to pay with a tax on stock and bond trades, in reality i think he wants to take about $2 trillion in taxes over 10 years out of the same 401 (k) accounts that students own and labor union pension funds too. isn't sanders being a bit

misleading here? >> oh, totally but let me just say, e-mac, there are way too many college students today. a lot of these kids who were there aren't getting the education to provide them with higher incomes and higher earnings in the future. they should be in technical schools and where they're really needed in the workforce and they aren't getting that type of education so this type of just panhandleing to people is just ridiculous. bernie sanders is guaranteeing that he can't be elected and if he were elected, we would be living in venezuela which is just crazy. he doesn't understand that he's way too old and i'm older than he is. he's way too old to be running for office and especially with these policies. i mean george mcgovern wasn't this bad. liz: i don't know if age is an issue but here is the thing let me back up. >> age is an issue here. when you haven't lived through experiences like some of these people have in venezuela and east germany and east europe, when you haven't lived through that and haven't seen it, you know, you tend to idealize all

of us living together in a moment, but that's not the way the world really is. the world is really run by incentives. and if you takeaway all of the disincentives of going to college, having to pay for it, you're going to get way too many people going and they aren't productive in the labor force. liz: to your point, his plan does not address the reason. >> it's all incentive. liz: it doesn't address the reason out of control debt it's college tuition gouging. colleges are tax exempt, student debt ballooned from 90 billion to 1.6 trillion in two deck decades. i want to get to this clinton's form press secretary is saying americans are going to see their taxes increase as their taxes go up, if democrats win. watch this. >> in reality for democrats is very often they come into office after republicans have been there and have to deal with the deficit so i think you're going to see tax increases if the democrats win, on corporations, under the trump tax cut but i

don't think you'll see anything in terms of like total wiping out of student debt in this country. liz: joe biden is saying i'm not campaigning on free everything. he said that just recently. 2020 ohio democrat tim ryan, he's the one whose saying, art, that the democrat party is perceived as elite and out of touch with the working class. your reaction to all of that? >> yeah, i think he's right. i think ryan is correct. the democratic party is way out of touch with the world. they are no longer any candidate democrats there, bobby or jack. there are none of those and no bill clinton's left in the democratic party. bill clinton was a great president. he cut taxes dramatically when he was in office. he kept government spenting as a shear gdp by four percentage points. government spending is taxation and he did a great job i voted for bill clinton twice i've worked with democrats i did jerry brown's flat pass when he ran for president. the deputies have lost entirely and now are just going crazy.

i don't even know what they think. it doesn't make any sense to me at all, but you know it'll all work out in the end believe me. nixon, as unpopular as he was, beat mcgovern 49 states to 1. liz: to your point getting back to the college plan from bernie sanders, i talked to a college dean, a dean of a college who said our janitors and our cafeteria workers want to unionize. he said well if they unionize, they are just going to raise everybody's tuition that's a knee jerk reaction. i want to back up. tell us what it was like to be awarded the presidential medal of freedom and congratulations for that. president trump gave you that last week, art. >> it was the most heavy experience i've had in my life, it was the best day ever to be honest with you. i don't deserve it but boy i'm not giving it back. i just love it, and it was such a wonderful moment i had my whole family, best friends there as you know, larry kudlow and steve moore and steve forbes were all there. it was just a wonderful wonderful event, and i'll never

forget a moment of it as long as i live it was just wonderful. liz: did you go to sleepwearing it that might? i'm just kidding art laffer. >> i didn't go to sleep for days before or after. in fact i've been wearing it non -stop, i took it off just for the show. but seriously, it's just such a huge impact on my life. i can't tell you how grateful i am to the president for that. it's just wonderful. liz: art laffer we love you. i love you e-mac too. you guys are the greatest ever by the way. thank you for having me on. liz: thank you. come back soon. let's get to the markets the s&p closing just about 9 points off of its record high, the dow closed about 100 points of its all-time high, and this after months of the bears warning the bears on wall street saying stocks are rolling over telling investors slide down that shoot and get out of the market boy you would have lost a lot of money listening to then christina partsinevelos has more christina? reporter: liz, you have it exactly right, so we had a mixed

day today a lot of investors telling me at the new york stock exchange they're really focused on the g20 summit and whether there's a positive meeting between president trump and xi-jinping of china, but moving forward, it's merger monday. there was a big merger today and that had to do with el dorado resorts and caesar, huge $17.3 billion cash and stock deal, and taking overall of caesar's debt as well what is it going to be called? the new company is called caesar s but the top executives actually come from el dorado this deal is expected to close in the first pass of 2020 but the largest gambling and entertainment company in united states and another technology story, slack. slack went public last week, had a great ipo, but there's a little bit of it that went to the downside today, and part of that could be because microsoft released, they have a list called the prohibited and discouraged technology list

essentially banning slack for its employees. discouraging its employees to not use slack and the reason they're citing it is because of security concerns; however you can say they are competitors but the company says that's not the reason. it's purely because of security issues. liz? liz: christina partsinevelos thank you so much. moms and dads and kids out there did you hear that toys "r" us is making a comeback? well it's true. it shut its stores last year but toys "r" us is now planning to come back and hoping just ahead of the holidays there are fewer stores smaller but they will be back. we've got a special programming note for you, make sure to catch toys "r" us former ceo talking all about that, tomorrow morning at 9:00 a.m. eastern time, on "varney" & company right here on the fox business network. coming up president trump hitting the pause button, on ordering i.c.e. to conduct raids and major american sit cities to

pull out illegals and deport them but the president is daring the democrats, come up with a fix on the illegal border cross ers, that story coming up.

liz: president trump calling off i.c.e. raids that were supposed to begin over the weekend. the president said he will give congress two weeks to may changes to asylum law before i.c.e. agents around the country deport illegal immigrants this as information continues to come in about the deplorable conditions and migrant children holding centers. this is a problem that goes beyond the d.c. partisan blame game, puts that to shame. let's bring in republican north korea congressman he's a member of the homeland security committee he's congressman mark walker. one doctor described the conditions for children at one texas facility as extreme cold temperatures, lights on 24 hours a day, no adequate access to medical care, basic sanitation, water but adequate food, sir. >> yeah, it's a very sad situation, as a former minister and working in refugee camps i can tell you what's happening at the border is certainly not something any of us should be

proud of. i think it's one of the president has seen this issue, he's continued to try to work with the democrats on doing something as a crisis. 17 times they have voted against any kind of assistance, but we're going to continue to try to hammer this home until they are understanding how bad this situation is as well. liz: sir i'd like your reaction to this part of an interview between nbc chuck todd and president trump over the weekend let's watch this. >> you have kids taking care of kids. you've read these reports, i know people are coming to you and you think this is the democrats problem. >> and forget it why don't you do something about it? they are in terrible shape down there mr. president, down in homestead, florida where i grew up, the conditions are terrible. president trump: i agree and its been that way for a long time. >> do something. president trump: president obama built the cages remember they said i built them? >> do two wrongs make a right? president trump: chuck just listen for one second. separation.

president obama i took over separation. i'm the one that put it together what's happened though are the cartels and all of these bad people, they're using the kids. it's almost like slavery. liz: okay, so let me just back up. under president obama, separations were rare. they were an exception. they didn't happen as much. there were separations that still occurred after the president's executive order last year stopping them. the flores settlement of the 1990s says these children must be kept in sanitary conditions. why isn't that happening? >> well i'll tell you this. during president obama, he deported 2.9 # million people that's nearly 1 million more than president trump had specifically on this issue the reason why is because of the influx, we have not seen these kinds of numbers 144,000 were already more in this fiscal year than we have been in the last 10 years. this is something we're trying to russias quick as we can, that's why we're calling on our democratic colleagues not to play politics but to get the

4.5 billion in humanitarian aid. liz: sir what's taking so long why won't the democrats step up here? >> i believe they're looking at this specifically from a political standpoint of that 4.5 billion, 3.3 billion goes directly to the humanitarian, another 1.1 billion goes to operational expenses. liz: to your point republican texas representative dan cent shaw called out hillary clinton on twitter and tried to land the tariff for the border crisis and then exploiting it for democrat fundraising and here is dan cren shaw. what insane gaslighting you know democrats have refused to support funding for resources at the border, offered no solution, tell us if you were president, how would you manage hundreds of thousands of people illegally crossing and dragging children with them? so sir, what is the democrat' response to that? what is the democrat plan for border crossers? >> well secretary clinton the last time she was in charge of security, specifically at a border four americans died.

i'm not sure she should be the authority here. as far as the democrats, if they true believe this is a humanitarian crisis, and it is, for all of us that have been to the border i would hope that it would put partisan politics get the 4.5 billion the president has requested once again he's tried to negotiate in good favor calling off due to nancy pelosi 's request speaker pelosi 's stopping all deportations for another two weeks, trying to move the needle too give the aid needed there. all of us know this is an issue. it's overwhelming to our country right now. we've got a lot of other thins that need fixed long term and i hope the democrats will work with us. liz: the thing is the border patrol guys and women they were not tasked with this job of basically monitoring these facilities in the way that they're being blamed for these conditions. it is a bipartisan problem that needs to be fixed. you know, border protection and customs spent i think $2.3 billion maintaining and building 650-plus miles of physical barriers on the

southern border between 2007 and 2015. that was supported by congressional democrats and nancy pelosi was house speaker for four, all but four of those years, but now the idea of border security, you're right president barack obama did deport more people than any other president, but this is about putting a humane approach, better conditions and faster processing times at these center s which where children are being held, right? >> right, two points i'll make to that. one your first point on these border agents. they are basically running adult daycare units, trying to do very important tasks but not something they should be focused on. i'm the ranking member on terrorism and counter intelligence subcommittee and not that we have a huge drove of terrorist activity at the border we have some, and these border agents need to be monitoring that and not these other tasks. liz: congressman walker thank you so much for your insights we appreciate it very much. coming up the 2020 democrats

ramping up their attacks on joe biden. they are going to duke it out in the first of the debates, plus more on the trump adminitration dropping another economic hit on iran brand new sanctions on iran 's leader and running that country. more coming up.

openturning 50 opens theuard. door to a lot of new things... like now your doctor may be talking to you about screening for colon cancer. luckily there's me, cologuard. the noninvasive test you use at home. it all starts when your doctor orders me. then it's as easy as get, go, gone. you get me when i'm delivered... right to your front door and in the privacy of your own home. there's no prep or special diet needed. you just go to the bathroom, to collect your sample. after that, i'm gone, shipped to the lab for dna testing that finds colon cancer and precancer. cologuard is not right for everyone. it is not for high risk individuals, including those with a history of colon cancer or precancer. ibd, certain hereditary cancer syndromes, or a family history of colon cancer. maybe i'll be at your door soon! ask your doctor if cologuard is right for you. covered by medicare and most major insurers.

liz: okay, we are just two days away from the first 2020 democrat debate, and 20 out of about two dozen candidates will participate in the debates over the course of two nights starting this went, and then going to thursday, the democrats really going after joe biden. let's bring in heritage foundation, kelsey volar. kelsey are you going to take the gloves off and go after him and biden his campaign is bicycling through quicksand, and we've got corey booker, kamala harris, elizabeth warren, sanders really going after biden will this show how divided the democrat party

is? >> grab the popcorn things are about to get a lot more interesting on the democrat side yes we've already seen the attacks against the front runner joe biden, pick-up steam and that's likely to continue. i would expect them from some of the lesser-known candidates because we know if these lesser known names go after the front runner that's a way for them to make headlines. that said, what i'm looking at in these debates is where the candidates come down in their policies and from what we know thus far, they're all one version of the same. there are no moderate democrats any more all supporting versions of the green new deal of medicare for all, of taxpayer- funded free college, and i think that's going to leave a lot of democrats feeling politically homeless. liz: you know to your point, we have 2020 democrat former alaska senator tweeted this about joe biden. look at this. "unchanging, unapologetic, unaware, joe biden is a disaster

waiting to happen. if you're serious about trump you need to be serious about beating joe biden and giving us a serious progress ever for the white house and look at this. joe biden took a shot at elizabeth warren and bernie sanders. watch this. president trump: i'm not making these numbers up. let's not make everything free for everybody all the time. liz: kelsey we haven't seen biden's policies he's been avoiding ms. of the media. not talking a lot. your take? >> you're right he hasn't sat down for any long forum interviews largely giving speeches based on scripts that said we do know that the first thing he claims he will do if he becomes president is repeal the trump tax cuts. he's making the case that this is only going to effect billionaires and corporations, but whose causing the unemployment rate to be so dramatically low in this country right now? it is these businesses who are able to hire again, because of

these tax cuts and further more heritage analysis found that the average american who lose out and nearly $27,000 if these tax cuts are repealed, so we do know some policies where joe biden stands, we're going to learn more these are not moderate positions, and they are not going to lead to positive results for the american public. liz: kelsey great to have you on >> thank you. liz: breaking news washington post now reporting the white house is reportedly moving to stop kellyanne conway from testifying over alleged hatch act violations which limits certain political activities of federal workers. we'll have more coming up. other big stories we're tracking for you right now. more than 400 pilots now suing boeing, over what they call a " unprecedented cover up of flaws " in the design of the 737 max, which after two major crashes that killed a total of 346 people. now the pilots class action suit

like me. ♪ liz: more details of president trump issuing new hard hitting sanctions against iran's leader, and the president saying the sanctions are a "strong and proportional response to iran's increasingly provocative action" fox news jennifer griffin is at the pentagon with more. reporter: liz, the u.s. asked the kim jong-un security council to take this up today while announcing the new sanctions including ones that target iran 's supreme leader. meantime, senior u.s. officials confirm the u.s. military carr ied out a cyberattack against iran thursday, in response to that american drone being shot down, so while most focused on the president's decision not to carry out a visible military strike in response, it now turns out that the u.s. cyber command launched an offensive cyberattack

targeting what we're told included iranian intelligence and radar installations used to shoot down the u.s. navy drone on thursday. fox news learned iran shut off its radar sites around the time the u.s. was poised to launch retaliatory strikes late thursday. it's not clear if those radar sites were turned off by the u.s. cyberattack, or if i ran shut them off deliberately in anticipation of a strike to hide their location on a visit to israel, national security advisor john bolton one of the key hawks in favor of using military force had a blunt warning for iran. >> neither a ran nor any other hostile actor should mistake u.s. prudence and discretion for weakness. no one has granted them a hunting license in the middle east. reporter: warships from the uss abraham lincoln strike group remain in the area along with 70,000 u.s. troops including air force bombers and fighter jets

and the uss stocks has arrived to replace it and today secretary of state mike pompeo met with iran's big else rival, the saudi king and crown prince mbs in an organized trip following the shoot down of the drone. the new sanctions announced today are unusual because they target iran's supreme leader and will target iran's equivalent of the secretary of state. >> this will be a further effort to ensure their capacity not only to grow their economy but to evade sanctions becomes more and more difficult. reporter: here at the pentagon president trump's new acting defense secretary arrived at 7: 20 this morning for his first day on-the-job. the former army secretary took no questions. >> good morning, everyone. >> good morning. reporter: he still needs to be confirmed, liz? liz: jennifer griffin at the

pentagon thank you so much. now it's a show down heats up fox news chief intelligence correspondent katherine herriage sat down for a discussion and here with more, katherine? >> liz, in his first national television interview the head of the defense intelligence agency told fox news he believes that iran is likely at an inflection point but could not get into operational details citing national security, and providing an immediate analysis for decision makers about iran's military capabilities. options for future u.s. actions as well as the regime's likely response. even before today's new sanctions director ashley said the regime was hurting. >> they are kind of at an inflection point and this up-tick that you've seen is a reflection of them trying to kind of change the status quo and the path they're on. i would say the pressure campaign is working and there is hardship and the president has asked the question before. does this have an impact on the

iranian people and it has an impact on the entire nation when you look at their economy because the economy is moving into a recession and they are struggling. reporter: an iran threat this week to surpass enriched uranium limits a deal president trump abandoned director ashley said the threat appears designed to coerce other nations to in rail entitlement in the u.s.. >> one of the thins they assess is they want to figure out how they can leverage the european nations to come back in and bring the dialogue back to the floor and they break out and start fully building out the program but it's still about a year out before they can get to them. >> adam: treasury surer ashley said china is the long term concern adding china and russia have a transactional relationship which means they work together on a limited basis to block u.s. interest. liz? liz: thank you so much katherine let's bring in fox news senior strategic analyst and retired four star u.s. army general, he's general jack keane, great

to have you sir. your reaction to katherine's recording and also jennifer griffin there? >> yeah, well certainly, the trump adminitration is conduct ing an offensive strategic campaign for the first time in 39 years against the iranians, and as opposed to something that piecemeal it's comprehensive and the maximum pressure is clearly having an impact. iran is now operating from a position of weakness, and actually, the president's decision to restrain in the use of force is given leverage with our allies, which flies in the face of what the iranians were trying to do and that is put pressure on the allies so they can push president trump to ease up on the sanctions, and actually, the president as we all know today is increasing the sanctions, so it backfired on the iranians, if it was their intent to shoot down the drone i'm not convinced it was, but if it was, the united states is in

a much stronger position today, secretary pompeo is out in the middle east trying to stich together a coalition of nations to guarantee the safe transit of our tankers through the persian gulf and the gulf of oman, so i think we're going to get moral lied support than we've had in the past and that's a good thing liz: republican senator tom cotton is worried that if the u.s. did not setup a firm set of boundaries iran could attack the u.s. ship aircraft. your response to that? >> well let's just assume that we took down the batteries the other night and the radar systems that were responsible for the drone. i'm not convinced we're in any better position if we had to be that. i think we're in a much better position today because we did not do it. there was a restraint on the use

of force. now, if they attack a ship man ned aircraft if we lose obviously tragically soldiers, sailors, air men and marines there's definitely a kinetic response make no mistake about it so i'm not concerned about that. the other thing we've got to think about is the strategic offensive campaign is working. we don't want to do anything that distracts from that. the iranians are trying to get us off that track and we've got to be careful about the ladder of escalation. once you start working up that ladder, you do a, they do b, you do c, they do d, and then the tension in the world rises up rather dramatically and the pressure on the united states to pullback on the sanctions is exactly what the iranians want, so we got to be careful about how we do this. liz: general jack keane thank you so much for your words of

wisdom great insight sir thank you so much. >> good talking to you liz. liz: i want to clarify a story we just brought you earlier. it's about the voluntary recall of participant's choice vaccination infant formula milk- based powder with iron sold in 35-ounce containers and it's sold at walmart, to be clear the maker of that formula is issuing the recall. not walmart. coming up, why the palestinians are moving to say no to a $50 billion economic stimulus plan from the white house. that story, next.

liz: let's bring in former national security agency official matthew heiman. matthew thank you so much for joining us. you know, the white house is a $50 billion planning economic stimulus plan for the palestinian authority, 179 infrastructure and business stimulus projects, but the palestinian authority leader says he's not into it not going to send anybody to the peace conference what's going on here? >> well the palestinians are saying you've shown us what the economic plan is and what they are really interested in is the political plan and right now the

palestinians don't have a tremendous amount of trust in the u.s. because the u.s. chose to recognize jerusalem as the capital of israel which was a third rail issue for the palestinians and we moved our embassy to jerusalem as well so the palestinianses are not going to be very enthusiastic about this plan until they understand what the political plan is. liz: a lot of money left on the table there. let's get to i want your reaction to kim jong-un of north korea saying he got a "excellent letter from president trump" the head of the g20 meeting between the president and china's leader but sir i want your reaction to this. a newly-released map shows more than 300 places in north korea where people have been publicly executed for things like petty theft? your reaction to that. >> well i think it's just a reminder of who we're dealing with when we talk about the leader of north korea. it is an absolutely regime that i think while the exchange of letters between him and president trump is a good thing, the fact that they're not firing rockets every day that threaten our allies in the region is a good thing.

there's not much that we need to do more to build trust with them , and i think we need to be very careful about whatever agreement we strike with them in the future. liz: i'm so sorry we ran out of time. will you come back soon? >> happy to do it. liz: thank you for joining us coming up president trump, he says let's go ahead and impeach me, democrats will have an easier time getting re-elected how the dems are way off course and the president is sticking fast to his plan. stay with us, that's next.

elizabeth: new york times reporting that hundreds of migrant children now being moved out of a border station in texas. they were living under deplorable conditions, held for weeks, quote, without access to soap, clean clothes and food, adequate food. placed in the government shelter system, others in a temporary tent city. also reports of mexico now deploying 15,000 troops to stop the tide of illegal border crossers. we're going to monitor that story as well. president trump says bring it on, democrats. if you want to impeach me, you're going to get me reelected. watch this. >> why do you think nancy pelosi has held off her impeachment caucus? >> because i think he feels i will win much easier -- >> do you think impeachment's good politics for you?

>> i think i win the election easier. elizabeth: let's bring in whitewater deputy independent counsel, robert pitman, sir, your reaction to that. >> well, liz, impeachment is a very serious process that should only be reserved for really extraordinary conduct, and i just don't think that that happened here. the public doesn't support this. my goodness, even a majority of democrats don't support it, and it would be very, very damaging, i think, to democratic party and to to the country. the president would be hurt, but net-net, i think it would be really bad for democrats. elizabeth: okay. so impeachment is being pushed aside right now, but the anti-trump rhetoric is ramping up. i want your reaction to joe biden talking about president trump signing into law criminal justice reform that was a a clinton era tough on crime law that biden championed, but joe biden trying to undercut president trump by trying to compare reaction to trump's victory to assassination of

martin luther king jr. and bobby kennedy. watch this. >> i think what's happening now is i think that donald trump may have re awakened sensibilities in this country to say, whoa, maybe we can do this now just like our generation was awakened when dr. king and bobby kennedy were assassinated. i'm back in now. elizabeth: your reaction, sir. >> liz, this is a political campaign. the process is ugly. we're seeing that joe biden has been behind law enforcement his entire career until about a month ago when he started running for president in a very liberal atmosphere right now. and i think it's a shame. elizabeth: you know, to your point, let's get back to impeach trump movement. june 15th was, quote, impeach trump day. really poor voter turnout, only 20 people showed up at a rally in toledo, ohio, 20 in portland, oregon -- 200 in portland, oregon. >> the country is just not behind this. we have to remember when

president clinton was impeached back in 1998, 1999, his approval ratings went up after impeachment. the republican house, they lost seats, and speaker gingrich lost his job. this is just not good politics. the people of the united states will see that this is just partisan politics at its worst, and they're not going to support it. elizabeth: let's switch gears. house oversight committee is going to vote wednesday whether to subpoena kellyanne conway over alleged violations of the hatch act which says you can't do political activities if you're a federal worker. now this, "the washington post" breaking news saying the white house is going to stop kellyanne conway from testifying. your take on all of that. >> well, of course, congress has a legitimate oversight role, but there comes a point when legit mate oversight gets into harassment. and i think that it's very possible this has reached the harassment stage. elizabeth: thank you so much. a quick note on one of our earlier guests, matthew hyman
