david: maybe the people of mcdonald's have listened to this and maybe they learned something. i hope they don't cave. i love the toys, too. liz: the fight over the border about to get white hot. we have the latest on the president's top immigration and border official warning yes, i.c.e. is ready to deport 1 million illegal immigrants who already have court papers to leave. it's happening as the very much heads to the border along with a bipartisan group from the senate judiciary committee. all that and more tonight. the war of words with iran escalating by the day as iran

ramps up its production of nukes. vice president pence saying the u.s. is ready to protect interests in the region. iran's oil revenues plunging to a sixth of what it usually gets. attorney general bill barr is slamming the democrats of trying to make a public spectacle of special counsel robert mueller, now set to testify in about a week and a half. plus, disgraced billionaire jeffrey epstein pleading not guilty to sex trafficking charges involving young girls as young as 14 years.

could a life sentence cause him to flip on other officials and corporate america? thanks for joining us. you are watching the fox business network. after a "new york times" article about filthy overcrowded conditions at a detention center in texas. the president says it's snowflake news. he said he's going to arrange tours for the press to see what's going on there. reporter: the president says opening up the centers will combat what he calls fake news. the reporters have been allowed in some centers but not allowed to take pictures. '. border patrol says they are

overwhelmed by the number of people they have to process. a lot of them families. mike pence says today the administration is taking steps to stop this crisis but still needs help from congress to change the immigration laws because smugglers are working in the loopholes continuing this problem. >> i have seen it firsthand. the majority of those coming across our southern border are families with vulnerable children who are being enticed by human traffickers and drug cartels to pay cash to make the long and dangerous journey north. reporter: the president has a deal with mexico to use their immigration laws to slow down the flow to the bordered. and he expanded a program to keep asylum seekers in mexico.

the democrats are using the humanitarian crisis as a way to criticize the president. >> had the press corps not gone down in droves to the border to allow the american people to witness a human rights abuse being committed by the united states government in separating those children from their parents -- reporter: she said it wouldn't have been brought to life. the president signed a bill with $4.67 billion in humanitarian aid that passed with republicans and democrats voting for it. but the administration admits this year has been more people than the system can handle. liz: tough word for democrats over a dubious or non-existent

policies. >> he wrote, they are publicly embracing policies to not deport those who enter or remainth this country illegally unless they commit a crime. we cannot '. >> i think secretary johnson is right. he has the luxury of retirement which can be an untethering thing. what we see from presidential candidates, their need to gravitate as far left as think can. but they are actually running with it because they are trying to be that one person who gets to run against donald trump.

so they are acting in a very irresponsible way in my view. and i think senator johnson is doing his party by suggesting they ought to come back. liz: jeh johnson wrote that 2020 democrats espouse policies that are unworkable. your reaction to all of that? >> who knew we would come to the day where a supposed presidential candidate would help people violate federal law and demonstrate his view that we ought to have open borders. but that wraps we have come. i think secretary johnson is doing his party a service. i am not sure the majority of

democrats agree with it. i'm look for the democrat that emerges who receives not so fast. we can't be that irresponsible. i think there are a lot of democrats in the middle of the country who don't share that radical view. if they are looking for someone they can support in the ballot or primary or caucus somewhere. liz: acting i.c.e. director ken cuccinelli says deportation of 1 million illegal immigrants will happen. when will it happen? >> i don't know. the two weeks are up, the deadline imposed on congress to fix it. we haven't fixed it. we are seeing action in reference to bipartisan members of the judiciary committee. claishman graham has -- chairman graham has worked on closing some of the loopholes. it's difficult for the democrats

to deny we have policies that attract this. give us a little bit more time and keep our feet to the fire. but keep the transparency going. i think the threat much deporting a million people already prepared to be departr ported. -- to be deported. what that's called is enforcing the law. liz: president obama was called the deporter-in-chief. he did enforce the law. there are 14 states that allow illegals to get driver's licenses. >> they are trying to legalize something that's illegal. states have a lot of rights to do what they want. but to somehow dismiss and ignore the federal laws then try

to cover it up with crazy state laws that allow driver's licenses to legitimize illegitimate activity is wrong. and if it weren't for presidential politicians they would be able to have a discussion about this. but the democrats are running the risk of running themselves out of the mainstream of america. liz: president trump is considering an executive order to get a citizenship question on the census despite the scotus pushback. >> i don't understand why the president doesn't have all the right in the world to ask that question. the supreme court agrees with the rationale and reasons for the case. when you think all the questions we ask on a census, you would think this is basic and

important to know. i am disappointed the administration wasn't able to convince one more supreme court justice it ought to be there. i think the president ought to do an executive order. the department ought to come up with a better legal explanation why it's important. all hands on deck to get this done. liz: i'm going to throw a totally different subject at you. what's your reaction to governor cuomo signing a bill that would allow the state to release president trump's income tax returns to congress. >> it's presidential harassment. they are making this president do things that previous presidents haven't done. some have don't as a matter of volunteering to do it. this is irresponsible. we elected a very successful

wealthy businessman, a new york developer. we never had a president like this with this type of back ground. his finances and tax returns are much more complicated. this is harassment. i think it backfires frankly and governor cuomo and democrats. but trying to continue to embarrass the president who at every turn seems to get freed from any of these accusations, obviously the mueller report, i think it backfires. liz: the irs regulations show the president could force all members of congress' tax returns released to the committees. >> i was happy to turn over mine. they are very boring. liz: coming up, attorney general william barr slamming the democrats for trying to make a quote public spectacle over

forcing special counsel robert mueller to testify via subpoena in back-to-back congressional hearings. also this story. will a maximum 45-year prison sentence for sex trafficking of underaged girls force jeffrey epstein to flip on other world leaders, politicians and businessmen? >> let me be clear. iran should not confuse their can restraint with a lack of american resolve. fact is, every insurance company hopes you drive safely.

liz: attorney general william barr had heavy criticism for the democrats saying they were creating a but spectacle of robert mueller testifying before two committees in congress july 17. he says the justice department would support robert mueller if

he decide not to subject himself to these hearings and the justice department would work to block any subpoenas for members of mueller's team. big news from william barr today. what was your reaction when you heard? >> i think william barr is right. democrats are trying to turn this into a political spectacle. that's what they did last week when the house held a hearing on the same subject with john dean who is completely irrelevant to the investigation. barr is right. democrats might run with the sound bite but it will be interesting to see if mueller testify. i think he has nothing to gain by testifying. li john dean said he himself was

not a fact witness. what other kind of witness do you have? is william barr trying to help barr by giving him -- help mueller by giving him cover? >> i wouldn't say he's giving him cover. he's letting him know the decision to testify is his decision. decision. mueller said he wants his work to speak for itself. this report has been available to the public for months now. americans don't support impeaching the president and don't want to drag on this investigation through more hearings when we have actual policies to debate with the presidential election coming up. liz: jerry nadler says the mere fact of robert mueller

testifying could have a profound impact. is this the democrats trying to keep irrational hope alive? that 2020 clock is ticking. you have to start by september. so this is about dragging the president's approval ratings down. william barr says he's probing the investigation. william barr says he's look toib why a koirn intelligence investigation was opened on the campaign. >> that statement from nadler shows there is actual evidence backing up what barr said. we know what's in that report. more importantly what's not in that report. this is a p.r. strategy to put

impeachment on the table. the democrats don't have the support of that within their own caucus let alone with the american public. but they will plow forward because they want to avoid talking about the good economy and jobs report. liz: this is the month of july. they go out on recess in august. they come back in september. in september they focus on the debt ceiling, spending, the 2020 race. this is the month democrats have to get things done. we have half a dozen committees still pursuing trump. some say it's trump hatred on steroids. >> we have a border crisis they at least now acknowledge and instead they want to continue talking about the mueller report. i think ultimately it risks getting them in trouble. if we make this the top news

story of the day we will have to talk about the secondary probe of what the justice department is looking into. why the investigation got launched and why they faced surveillance. li we are keeping a -- liz: we are keeping a close eye on other news. some 4,000 aftershocks hit the southern part of california. potentially 30,000 more aftershocks could strike california by the end of the year. the 7.1 earthquake truck friday night. the estimated economic losses for the state. at least $1 billion and counting. let's take you to portland, oregon. the city's police chief demanding lawmakers pass a law

president trump: iran has done a lot of bad things. it expires. iran will never have a nuclear weapon. liz: president warning iran over the weekend as iran announced it has broken through the limits on uranium enrichment. reporter: iran is steadily violating the terms of that agreement. last week it announced it stockpiled more than the limit of enriched uranium.

the state department said this is iran's effort to extort the international community. he said there is no reason for iran to expand its nuclear program in this way other than to engage in brinkmanship. >> we finished reimposing the crippling sanctions that originally brought iran to the negotiating table. reporter: iranian officials are threatening to continue breaching the deal until the european countries hem iran circumvent american sanctions. the british government says it wants iran to return to compliance and wants to find a way to make this agreement work. china and russia say the united

states is to blame for all this. the israeli prime minister says the european government should follow suit with the united states and put sanctions on iran to get out of the deal. liz: with me now, retired general jack keane. thanks so much for coming on. are we moving forward or backward? what should the trump administration do next? >> we are definitely moving forward. this is the first administration in 39 years on the strategic offense in dealing with the iranians. the maximum pressure campaign we have not seen the likes of before it's got the iranians back on their heels that way that's crippling their economy. that's what started the military provocations and sabotaging ships that were trafficking through the persian gulf and the

gulf of oman. the problem the iranians had is that backfired because we caught them at it. also our viewers should know while we did not execute a kinetic strike on iran as a result of the american drone being shot down, we executed a very sophisticated cyber sophisticated strike that i am here to tell you is considerably more impact that can be reported. that is significant. liz: what can you mayor with us about that? >> i can't share a thing about it. liz: but you know it happened? >> i have a sense of it. iranians have turned the page from military provocation and recognize that president trump in restraining the kinetic approach actually gave the president leverage with our allies that we didn't have before.

so they turned the page back in a way from military provocation. they are still trying to accomplish the same thing and get economic relief. now they are enriching uranium and our reporter mr. edson interested out accurately, they are trying to motivate the europeans to provide economic relief. and the iranians will continue to do this extortion campaign is an accurate description of it, attempting to get the europeans to assist. i would hope the europeans follow the first lead and resist this and force the iranians to comply with the enrichment. liz: iran's oil sales are at $4 billion a year. they were making $24 billion a year. they are pumping out 230,000

barrels a day. the value of its currency dropped 3/4 since last year. will france, germany and the u.k. back off of iran, not help iran, and if iran further breaches that accord, the trump pressure campaign hit it hard. >> work with our european allies and not provide relief for the iranians. let's hope secretary pompeo and john bolton are successful with that. let's assume the worse situation. we are not going to conduct a kinetic strike because the iranians are slightly increasing

enrichment. we'll give them warning if you continue down this path you are putting yourself at greater risk by doing so. those warnings the president is issuing personally himself and members of our diplomatic corps are issuing to the iranians. and so many europeans are warning them as well. let's assume they continue to go down this path and it's a worsening situation. as opposed to a kinetic strike, we can conduct a cyber offensive attack and shut down that enrichment program as we did a number of years ago and it got reported in the media. that's the path we are on. we are not on a path of going to war with iran. we are on a path, strategic offensive. stay focused on the mission. liz: thank you for your service

to our country. good to have you on. liz: this month, july is do or die month for democrats. americans face losing both the white house and congress. joe biden fan nancy pelosi blasting the hard left over policies that are alienating a good part of america. remember president obama said it would take a magic wand to stop the loss of manufacturing jobs? >> half a million manufacturing jobs since trump took office. we'll debate more next. fun fact: 1 in 4 of us millennials have debt we might die with. and most of that debt is actually from credit cards. it's just not right. but with sofi, you can get your credit cards right - by consolidating your credit card debt into one monthly payment. you can get your interest rate right - by locking in a fixed low rate today.

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, 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.

...or trips to mars. $4.95. delivery drones or the latest phones. $4.95. no matter what you trade, at fidelity it's just $4.95 per online u.s. equity trade. liz: this month, july is a big, big do or die month for congress to get their act together on the policies the americans want.

they break for recess in august and come back in september. but september is all about the budget and debt ceiling and the 2020 race. that big pressure is likely why nancy pelosi slammed the hard left on the pushback against the border humanitarian i aid bill. he told maureen dowd, these four people have their twitter world or whatever. but that's how many votes they got. let's bring in for his reaction, 50s krer bedford. -- chris bedford. >> i was surprised to see it come out so publicly again. she has been clear that she has

an issue. she is trying to also send a signal to mitch mcconnell and the white house. and the whole signal is getting polluted when you have got vocal members of her ranks sending a different signal and disrupt be her ability to negotiate. i don't think in already would be hammering out deals with mitch mcconnell without these people on the left. but it's complicating her message. liz: the old democrat guard are doing the bare knuckle politician going after trump with investigation. but then they are pulled away with hard policy americans don't want. kellyanne conway called out alexandria ocasio-cortez. saying you woke up to the border

crisis, but you did not vote yes on the humanitarian aid package. >> i thought that was an honest moment from the hard left. they said their main issue was that people were being held at all. they were attacking because they don't want the camps funded because they want an open border policy. make democrats have been more quiet about that in the past. but people led by aoc have said no, open borders. that complicates nancy pelosi trying to win over an entire country. liz: still ahead. democrats about to hit the panic button. we'll talk more about why this month of july is a deadline month for democrats. it looks like as we have been warning for months, the democrats will gone into 2020 empty handed.

senator mitch mcconnell has been blocking what he says are bad policies from the democrats. that debate next. i can't tell you who i am or what i witnessed, but i can tell you liberty mutual customized my car insurance so i only pay for what i need. oh no, no, no, no, no, no, no... only pay for what you need. liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ i had no idea why my mouth was constantly dry. it gave me bad breath. it was so embarrassing. now i take new biotene dry mouth lozenges whenever i'm on the go, which is all the time. new biotene dry mouth lozenges. freshen breath anytime, anywhere.

liz: the democrats about to hit the panic button? this is the month of july it's a do or die month for democrats. they are about to go into 2020 empty handed. mitch mcconnell block them, saying their policies are unacceptable. let's break it down. this is do or die time for the democrats. it's about the debt ceiling. the budget spending and 2020. >> they have chosen to make the narrative about blocking trump. and i think there is a civil war there. they have done a good job containing it. you remember with boehner it was a little more public. but i think the aoc versus where poll i is trying to go seems to be out of control. liz: you know what's disturbing

personally. democrats totally misleading about household income. they say it's been going down under trump. if you look at per capita next's way up under trump, way up in swing states. when they do this whole income inequality thing americans don't believe it. >> there is no way they are going to win that argument it's too practical. 64% of democrats say the economy is doing well. the wage growth is an indisputable number. those are the things that matter, and they impact mostly the bottom 20% to 30%. so americans are worried about their finances. but then they see the hard left policies coming out, giving

criminals the right to vote before they serve their full sentence. is this alienating the voters? >> i saw a report that estimated slavery reparations would cost $17 billion. a lot of the things like student loans are mainstream idea, and it's cait's -- it's cartoonish. liz: nancy pelosi and joe biden are saying the americans are not hard left. >> the one thing i thought they had to do six months ago was nominate somebody sane. they may be center left. but someone who can be a unifying force. instead they decided to go all in and they will make it a closer election you would think from his approval ratings it

ought to be. >> the whole thing about income inequality. a lot of union workers have pension plans. $10 trillion in market value added to a lot of the regular workers' pension plans. also to your point about hourly income. the democrats are up against the trump economy. 70,000 manufacturing jobs. remember the manufacturing institutes? listen to what president obama said. >> for those folks who lost their job right now because a plant went down to mexico. some of those jobs of the past are just not going to come back. he's going to bring all these jobs back. how exactly is he going to do that? what are you going to do. i am going to negotiate a better deal. how exactly are you going to negotiate that.

what magic wand do you have? liz: set that up with what the american worker is feeling. >> their wages have gown and they know the reasons. the deregulation, the fact that the corporate tax code became more competitive. i believe a lot of stuff that happened it's going to be won because the american people intuitively know the economy is better than it was. the stock market is not the determining factor but it gives you a barometer. you talk about $10 trillion being add in market cap. 24 of the last 25 presidential elections were won or lost around the stock market. going back since the 1920s has been a reliable indicator.

i think we have a year to go. fall of 2020 it will be too late. if we are at a strong stock market summer it will be good for president trump. where is your book? i should have plugged it. reuters reporting that a federal judge blocked the trump administration from implementing a new rule that would force drug makers to include the wholesale prices of their drugs in television advertising. more court interference on something the president wants. the new and deeply disturbing charges against disgraced billionaire jeffrey epstein. he pled not guilty to sex trafficking charges. '. some girls as young as 14. my insurance rates are probably gonna double. but dad, you've got allstate.

was being taken away. when you're able to restore what cancer's taken away, you see that transformation firsthand knowing that she had options that she could choose helped restore hope. dr eid and my team made me feel like a whole person again. in our books, nothing can compare. cancer treatment centers of america. appointments available now.

elizabeth: jeffrey epstein pleading not guilty to federal charges of running a sex trafficking ring. doug, this is about a system of powerful men abusing underage girl. police originally invest graded it in 2005. >> this case has a long history. i've been following it for 15

years, read the book, the southern district much florida, what has been described as a sweetheart deal, saying we're not going to prosecute new federal court, everyone was outraged, he got 13 months, they let him go to work every day, everyone for last decade has been percolating, saying that not a fair outcome and result, now, what is interesting southern district of new york indicts him, you say, what are parameters of nonprosecution agreement. does not matter, those agreements say, this bonds only this district. elizabeth: in florida not new york. >> this is the second bite of the apple. >> epstein faces a 45 year maximum prison sentence, losing his properties. the question, could he flip and

cooperate on other possible abuses, he is being investigated by southern district of new york public corruption. he could face money laundering. and tax related charges even court documents sites numerous prominent business politicians. >> there are two sass pecks pece used victims to get to other slams, could he cooperate? absolutely, but, can't prejudge. this guy was around you know most rarefied circles, high end. the media is interested, i'm not going to speculate but he could. elizabeth: president bill clinton's office put out a statement, he knows nothing about the terrible crimes that jeffrey epstein pleaded guilty to, bill clinton took a total of

4 trips in epstein's plane, and he had a meeting with him in 2002, he made a brief visit to epstein's new york apartment, he has not spoken to him in over a decade, bill clinton said he never been to little st. james island, his ranch in new mexico. >> that is public relation, he wants to get in front of the notion he had flown on epstein's jet, from my knowledge of the case, i read books about it, i know that he interacted with bill clinton, i'm not saying that bill knew about the crimes, i don't know that. back to your notion, i want to be careful, he could cooperate against others, we'll see, he is facing if i read indictment correctly 10 year minimum. elizabeth: yes, we'll have you back on. >> thank you. elizabeth: story is not over, doug bur byrnes thank you, lou s
