politicians wanting more money? first time i ever heard of that. david: democrats say they are for the little folks, but they are always sticking it to the little folks when it cops to taxes. li democrats trying to ramp up the outrage against president trump, trying to sue the irs and the treasury department to get president trump's tax returns. that will fail. we'll he can chain why tonight. outrage and the push back against the outrage on the border facilities. democrats spend more time on that. and green room hopping to get on tv to shamelessly score points about the border and why they are not fixing the border and the laws they themselves passed that created the crisis to begin with. robert mueller testifying in two

weeks. democrats trying to keep irrational hope alive. they want mueller's yawn of a report to be whipped up in an attack against trump. two republicans on the committee are sharpening their knives. you will never guess which 2020 democrats hired the top lawyer for the deal dossier. as the 2020 democrats plan to go flat out, pushing a deception to sell their big government policies. that a sizzling economy is not working for you. we'll not let them run away from the facts about the strong economy. a new gallup poll shows democrat patriotism and pride in america hitting generation aloes as

voters are not buying into how 2020 democrats want big government freebies paid for by you. they have turned jfk's call to the nation on this. they are campaigning on this. ask what your country can do for you, not what you can do for your country. the shocking disgrace of an attack on a conservative journalist by antifa in portland, oregon. he tells us how he warily escaped with his life and how his attorney is ready to sue every public official in sight to hold them accountable for the violence. i'm elizabeth macdonald. "the evening edit" starts right now. president trump saying tariffs

on mexico are off the table for now. the president praising the president of mexico saying he's doing a great job on the border as the delayed i.c.e. raids are scheduled to begin after the july 4 holiday. edward lawrence has more. reporter: the president he mexico is doing its part and slowing down the flow of illegal immigration coming to our southern border. an aid package is being sent to help with that humanitarian crisis. and that is how congress is supposed to work. >> an hour on the phone with senator graham and speaker pelosi, and then mike pence and speaker pelosi. three weeks before that vice president mike pence in the lead at the negotiation table with mexico to get that done along with our secretary of state and

dhs and white house counsel. that's how think should happen. reporter: customs and border protection agents have deportation orders for 2,000 people in 10 cities. also here at the white house, the news not totally sorted out related to vice president mike pence. he canceled a visit to new hampshire. here was the announcement from a vice president representative at the event. >> i do have some bad news at this point. air force two was heading this way, there has been an emergency callback. the vice president was asked to return to washington. so at this time we are going to cancel this event. reporter: the vice president's press secretary said the vice president actually never left washington, d.c. then 20 minutes before or after he was supposed to arrive in ham were the vice president showed here at the west wing.

he walked into the west wing. no word yet on who met with or what was happening here. we can tell you from a spokesperson the press secretary for the vice president this was not a health issue with the president or vice president it also was not a national security issue. but we have no final abcs as to what happened today. liz: now this. the hearing will be held next week with the acting head of homeland security and border patrol officials at border facilities. let's get to the u.s. ambassador to mexico and antonio garza. thank you for joining us. >> i think the combination of the tragic photo of the father and daughter and the congressional delegation in clint, texas, seemed the conditions, and perhaps the inspector general's report that started to document the

situation within these detention facilities back in may as being unacceptable. i think it was inevitable that you would have a congressional committee call hearings and try to get to the bottom of some of this. liz: president obama repeatedly warned illegal immigrants, don't send your children to the border. watch. >> our message absolutely is don't send your children unaccompanied on trains or through a bunch of smugglers. that is our direct message to the families of central america. do not send your children to the borders. if they do make it, they will get sent back. liz: president obama's homeland security secretary jay san antonio on said chain link barriers, partitions, cages, whatever you want to call them. they were not invented on

january 20, 2017. he said you can't just dump 7-year-old children on the streets of mcallen or el paso, texas. you hear democrats twisting reality. they complain about the border refusing to fix it due to enforcement of the border laws they passed. go ahead, ambassador. >> i think there is a lot of truth in what you said. the fact is, these detention facilities aren't something new. what is new is the volume and the extent of the movements of people into the our southern border. they simply were not constructed with periods in excess of 72 hours for the detention of these children. and that's where we are. over the course of the last year or so, you have seen a number of

initiatives from the trump administration that have led to greater numbers of people coming frsm central america in hopes of beating whatever new enforcement regime was rolled out 18 months ago they were talking about setting aside asylum. then metering procedures. liz: metering did start under president obama as well. the border officials keep saying the facilities are crowded due to the fact that 100,000 a month are trying to break the law and cross the bordered illegally. until illegals know they will be held accountable for breaking the law. here's what he is saying if the left and the democrats want to call them cages, you have to receive the results under --

they were build under obama. >> they were built under the last administration. that makes it no less acceptable when they are overcrowded and when we are detaining children in excess of 72 hours. i think the pictures of the last few days have been such that americans loudly have found the situation unacceptable. really, there is enough fault to go around. this administration has undertaken initiatives that encouraged greater numbers of people to leave central america. i think congress failed to address the other line asylum procedures. last week's funding bill took a first step in terms of addressing the hugh man tearian and detention facilities. but we have to look at the northern industry angle and development and things that need to be done so people don't feel

the need to leave. and address the underlying asylum procedures. and we have to look at immigration generally and how we are going to streamline immigration so it works for us in the united states. but, you know, too often this is simply one of those situations where both parties, republican, the republican and democratic party have chosen to use it as a political issue and point fingers. >> i think the american voters are sick and tired much it. -- tired of it. get it fixed. >> i think you are absolutely right. perhaps the tragedy and the pictures of the last few days, i hope will jolt some sense into our leadership on both sides of the aisle in washington and they will start to address it. that's what americans want. americans don't like the inhumanity of the treatment but

at the same time we want secure borders. that will make both parties sitting down and doing the right thing for our country. liz: i like your reaction to what president trump is saying about the democrats going to blame for the border crisis. president trump: the democrats like this system because it's open borders. we are apprehending at -- we are doing a great job. it shouldn't be this way. tweernt ones in the world that have a system like this. it's absolutely insane. liz: only system in the world like this, it's absolutely insane. >> i think there is enough blame to go around. both parties have failed on this one. we have long been a country that valued immigration and had a door open for those truly seeking asylum from oppressive and cruel regimes, and i don't think we should close the door

to legitimate asylum seekers and the kind of immigration that made us a great country. there is a lot of finger pointing, but there is enough to go around. liz: we have more on the fight over the detention centers with casey stegall in dallas. reporter: this back and forth we have been seeing playing out on television and online started yesterday after members of the congressional hispanic caucus visited the border then they toured two different border patrol facilities. one in el paso, one in clint, texas, where we were stationed last week. following the tours of the facilities, they had some pretty gig accusations about what they saw inside. congress woman alexandria ocasio-cortez gave this shocking

account. listen. >> they put them in rooms with no running water. and these women were being told by cbp officers to drink out of the toilet. reporter: virtually all of the 14-member delegation said they were shocked by what they have saw. they recounted that same toilet water accusation. border patrol quickly denied these allegations saying migrants always have access to water at all of their facilities. but says that resources are tight and that congress has to act. >> these are facilities that were never designed to hold migrants for the duration that we have had to hold them and the numbers at times 200, 300, 400 percent beyond capacity. we have been speaking to this

crisis for 18 nos regarding the legal framework that needs to be made and the changes that have to be made to get people out of our custody as soon as possible. reporter: this comes on the heels of the public report about the private facebook group for previous and current staff members and some of the posts include faze racist comments about the congresswoman and migrants. the top brass said the group will be investigated immediately. the border a stroll chief saying in a statement, these posts are completely inappropriate and contrary and integrity, i see and expect from our agents day in and day out. any employee found to have violated our standards of conduct will be held accountable. late tonight the u.s. inspector general's office releasing a

brand-new report confirming the overcrowding situation at various migrant facilities in south texas. this information was based on surprise inspections. it includes photographs of migrants jammed into cells so tight they can hardly move, and they called the overcrowding dangerous. urging dhs to fix the problems right away. liz: coming up. we have got a new poll from gallup that shows a plunge in democrat pride in america. lows not seen in a generation. we'll show you how democrats are selling you on a deception that the economy is not work. they are doing it to sell their big government socialist ideas. house democrats about to hit a wall trying to sue the treasury department and the irs to get president trump's tax returns.

democrats will likely lose that one. ♪ all right brad, once again i have revolutionized the songwriting process. oh, here we go. i know i can't play an instrument, but this... this is my forte. obviously, for auto insurance, we've got the wheel route. obviously. retirement, we're going with a long-term play. makes sense. pet insurance, wait, let me guess... flea flicker. yes! how'd you know? studying my playbook? yeah, actually.

even more. president trump: i was with prime minister abe and he says they have many companies leaving to build plants in different states all over the country. that's amazing because we had no expansions and now we have a lot of expansion. liz: it's a deception. americans are not buying it. focusing on things like getting trump's tax returns. they are not fix can the border and not fixing obamacare. joining me, joel griffith. even the "new york times" is warning there is such a thing as to far left. the democrats now risk losing the swing states and thus the white house and even congress. >> too many people on the democratic platforms are ignoring the economic reality

across the country. and that's we are seeing near historic lows in unemployment. for hispanics and african-americans we are at historic lows. and we are seeing 200,000 created every month since president trump came into office. this is the fastest wage growth we have seen in a decade. productivity is at an all-time high as well. liz: there is record-low you be employment. you know what's going on. the majority of those states said obamacare went too far, more than 10%age points more said that than obamacare didn't go far enough. so why are the 2020 democrats trying to sell a big healthcare

plan in the swing states. >> it's geared toward a far-left democratic base. it's not geared toward the center of the country. they are not mentioning the price tags involved. we know what the price tags are. we know going by his estimates, this will cost more than $3 trial over 10 years and money to be -- $3 trillion over 10 years. we are not seeing the candidate be honest with us about that. li the sanders nordic models are actually capitalist models and they do not have a we will tax. what seems to have changed is

this. critics are saying the 200 democrats have become hostages of the huge particular antifa wing of the party. a marist poll said hispanic voters said the the is doing a good job. if you go back and ignore all the rhetoric we see year to year. if you go back 40 years, this country has grown wealthierer. just unnation and wealth size, you will see the upper middle class has grown by three-fold. ly rsh wage growth is up 7%. blue collar worker wages up 11:%. we have more job openings than we have workers. the wage growth and the job

growth pretty solid here. >> that wage growth does not happen on accident. it comes from increased productivity over the long term. and that requires investment and research and technology. that's what the corporate income thanks has done. liz: thank you so much for joining us. we are following other key story for you. more trouble for the dominican republic. the singer rick springfield canceled a concert in the dominican republic. his music festival was scheduled for november in punta cana. it's now scheduled for cancun next year. steve harvey did the same thing. let's look at the space race.

liz: the escalating war of words between the u.s. and iran. iran has broken through its limit of uranium production set in the u.s.-iran nuclear deal. a senior member of iran's parliament warn if the u.s. attacks us, only half an hour will remain of israel's lifespan. here is president trump responding to that. president trump: they know what they are doing, and i think they are playing with fire. no message to iran whatsoever. liz: michael, your reaction to all of this? >> i think iran is losing -- quickly losing support in the international community. france, england, germany, even russia are telling them to stay the nuclear deal. they can't validate cheating

when they are cheating on germany, france, england, the e.u., russia and china. the rhetoric from iran, there is nothing behind it. they know the president has capital after not striking the iranians two weeks ago. meaning the re jean could force the navy. so the leverage is owfnlt s. side. liz: can president trump get iran back to the table with a good faith gesture like reinstating the waivers that let some countries buy iranian oil? we are hearing behind the scenes iran's leaders are expressing a willingness to sign something like the old agreement. >> the obama administration was able to get iran to come to the table to begin with because anxious were so crippling.

this is a great opportunity. when the president wins reelection or the democrats take office in 2020. the president. something they can get behind. something strong, something that could be treaty with 60 senators to vote for as opposed to the jcpoa which in the second term of kamala harris iran could put a nuclear bam on a ballistic missile and be in compliance with the jcpoa. liz: i want to switch gears and the protests in hong kong. president trump: hong kong, i hope it gets solved. i was with president xi of china. we had a great talk, great

discussion, talking about doing something. we talked about it briefly. it's very sad. i rarely see a protest like that. >> you are able to show the instability in hong kong and address chinese failure. the protests are based on china's desire to spf diet people who committed petty crimes -- desire to extradite people who committed petty crimes to the mainland where they may not be seen again. it's a glaring example of failure. liz: just ahead on "the evening

liz: a new gallup poll out shows american pride hitting an historic low. people upset with the political system. but democrats extreme pride in america is being dragged down. evidence in ryan, your take on the polls showing the democrats driving the pride in america numbers down. >> the number of democrats is only 22% who have extreme pride

in this country versus 76% of republicans who have extreme pride in this country. i watched the democratic debates and the general loathing they have is staggering. i think they think the american traditions of limited government and free market capitalism are the enemies of their socialist ideas. i didn't need a poll to tell me they don't have pride in this country. i saw evidence of it last week. >> watching the 2020 democrat debate. it's like they turned jfk's request of the nation on its head. it's ask what your country can do for you, not what you can do for your country. >> i would say i think this started to take place in the early 20th century. we started to view our rights

and claims against the government that everything great or small, whether it was healthcare or retirement. the problem with that philosophy, if we make more and more claims against government, it has to tax us even more. i think we have to have a conversation as an american people, who do we want to be moving forward. ways your philosophy of government and what do we believe about our rights and where they come from. they don't come from government, they come from our creator. liz: net the jobs in this country are created by small businesses. it's about the little guy coming up and building the country via small businesses. 2/3 of the non-military federal workforce is about 1.3 million

federal workers, they mainly are occupied at work writing checks. that's what they do, they write checks for social security, medicaid, 15 million contractors. $5 trillion in annual spending. that fiscal antenna fell off the roof of congress a long time ago. >> the democrats running in 2020, universal basic income, free college. a 10-year estimate is $180 trillion or 9 times our are current thankingal debt. we are look at massive problems already. if god forbid any one of them gets into power and starts to implement these idea, all bets are off for this country moving forward. liz: in his own word. the conservative journalist viciously attacked by antifa on

liz: stunning developments in the case of that conservative journalist attacked by a violent antifa mob. her attorney says she'll sue everybody in sight to try to hold city officials accountable. that journalist describes in harrowing detail how that unprovoked attack unfolded. >> they were chanting no fear, no hate. then suddenly i was bashed in the back of the head. before i could really figure out what just happened to me, the punches just kept coming in every direction and eventually they escalated it to lowing liquids in my face and blind me so i couldn't even see which way

to leave. i could still see the justice center in the background and i kept thinking the police are going to come and help me at any moment. but that never happened. li the police didn't help him, did you hear that? he had a brain bleed. he had a brain hemorrhage. >> the travesty, the fed have been warning local and state police since 06 that antifa is a violent bunch of thugs. but in portland the mayor still has to be mayor and antifa will be around portland for as long as he's mayor. liz: antifa's stated purpose is quote physical violence. they are a terrorist mob. there are members of the main real media force who stand up

for antifa. >> antifa or whoever, malcontent or misguided. they are also wrong to hit. but fighting hate is right. >> there are a lot of different activists who say why are you in riot gear. we don't see a riot. there is a belief by many activists including antifa that the police support this violence. >> i have watched them protesting in different situations. there are different aspects of them true to a good cause. social justice or whatever you say in that context. >> it's mind-numbing to me. when you downplay what antifa does, you are legitimizing political vandalism. if the shoe were on the other foot president trump would have to be answering and god knows who else.

unfortunately it's all about what is perceived to be right and what is perceived to be wrong, and this is what's killing this country. liz: his lawyer harmeet dhillon says we are going to sue everybody. the mayor of portland is being blasted for tone deaf tweets like this one. his tweets never mention the word antifa. he says things like some chose to engage in violence. ford, take this on. >> you have to push back because you have to set a precedent. until people know they are going to be held accountable -- >> a long string of journalists attacking antifa, 15 in the last two years. they could have been killed. this is out of hand. >> it hurts the freedom of press which some networks don't seem to care about any more.

and political violence is never justified unless it's self defense. liz: why is there not more media outrage about these journalists getting physically attacks over the last two years? we keep hear being how the president is being after the press. these are physical assaults on journalists. where's the media outrage over that. >> where is the democrats' outrage? the only high-profile democrat who has spoken up is speaker pelosi. she only spoke up because of a 2017 incidents at berkeley. the san francisco chronicle forced her to condemn them. li final word to you. what's your biggest concern with antifa? >> my biggest concern is someone

will get hurt while they are trying to exercise their free speech and journalists are trying to cover these events. this is an assault on the political process and free speech. liz: special counsel robert mueller is set to testify in back-to-back hearings july 17. 25 republicans sit on those two house comur committees. they will grill him on what they say is biased, illegal surveillance, the steel dossier and more. feedback that helps you drive safer. and that can lower your cost now that you know the truth... are you in good hands?

a made-for-tv national spectacle of robert mueller testifying. but 25 republicans on those two committees, they say that they will go after robert mueller for them being biased against the present, and appropriate surveillance, under the obama ad ministration and why didn't robert mueller probe have the anti-trump steele dossier factored into it and your take on that? >> i think that is information that all of us want to know. how do we get to where we are, was the steele dossier the only basis for the fisa warrant and is it how the fisa warrant was obtained? why didn't we investigate how that all came about if it was unreliable? and why is your team full of people that gave money to hillary clinton? there's obviously some bias there. those are the things i'm sure republicans want to talk about in our hearing. >> republican mark meadows says

yes, republicans are ready to go after robert mueller and chris examine him. what they say are the flaws in his report, that the russia probe itself was anti-trump bias and government spying from the beginning. here is mark meadows quote - for two years the democrats claimed conclusion strike one. for months they twisted a no intimate report into obstruction, strike two. now they believe a t.v. hearing will help them recover, strictly no betters on deck. your take on that? >> yeah, i agree with mr. meadows. again, i don't think we will learn anything we don't already know.the report found no collision. he could have, if you wanted to recommend a charger obstruction but he did not do that. if he didn't do that, obviously he didn't feel there was enough evidence to charge it present with obstruction or make the recommendation. the attorney general decided not to move forward with any charges or indictments. case closed list move on to talking about the things american people want to talk about. >> jerry nadler saying the mere fact of him testifying is good for their cause because it will

get the public more formed. christopher steele his work was mentioned more than a dozen times in the redacted version of the mueller report. i think it is important, how did he view that steele dossier and your reaction to this it is the kamala harris campaign -- they originally arrange for the funding on the dossier. what do you think he might say on that anti-trump file? >> i don't know if we will learn much more than we know already. as a relates to mrs. harris, i'm more concerned about the position she's taken. medicare for all, open borders and allowing illegal immigrants to get healthcare. that's what i'm concerned about. >> quickly come as what is your question? what do you want to ask robert mueller? >> i would like to find out just like all of us, how all of this precipitated and how do we get to where we were and why didn't you investigate in the

beginning of all of this based on the fisa warrant and steele dossier? >> congressman, greg steube, thank you for joining us.and thank you for having us in your home. thank you for watching. we hope you got the information that you need. we are working on another show coming up next monday. lou dobbs is next right here on the fox business network. have a great weekend. lou: good evening everybody! and aoc implosion. the freshman congresswoman alexandria ocasio-cortez making serious allegations during hispanic caucus vaguevisit to a border detention facility. here's what she now claims. >> these women were being told by officers to drink out of the toilet. they were drinking water out of the toilet. and that was
