"the evening edit" starts right now. [♪] welcome to the show. you are watching the fox business network. let's get to jessica stone with the latest. reporter: the negotiators are hoping a change scenery will help get the trade talks across the finish line. they are moving them from beijing to shanghai. they are trying to resolve the
6:03 pm
future of global commerce. the delegation for the united states being led by robert lighthizer. president trump did make some changes to his strategy agreeing to hold off on mortar rivers on chinese goods, easing restrictions on huawei and all in exchange for beijing buying u.s. farm goods. but those purchases have not begun. president trump appearing to acknowledge the political clock, none the economic clock is ticking. >> i don't think china would sign a deal if i had a 2% chance of losing the election. they will wait and see if trump doesn't win so we can deal with another stiff. reporter: the president signed the victims' compensation fund
6:04 pm
for 9/11 for the heroes exposed to toxic chemicals at ground zero. 500 of them have died to diseases related to the recovery effort there at ground zero. liz: senate majority mitch mcconnell visibly angry, fighting back and defending himself against what he calls modern-day mccarthyism. this after critics labeled him un-american and a quote russian asset. watch this. >> this is the state, mr. president, of left-wing politics in 2019. it's like an inflationary crisis but with outr outrage instead of dollars. they have worn out the volume knob so much that they have
6:05 pm
nothing left but unhinged smears. welcome to modern-day mccarthyism out in the open for everyone to see. liz: let's get to chad pergram on the phone. why did mcconnell say he was right to reject those reform bills. >> it was pretty effort that mitch mcconnell was visibly angry. he said quote the outrage industrial complex needed a new target and that's where i come in. senator schumer says it's because of the election security bills. whenever you see a live objection to legislation on the senate floor to proceed or pass, it hasn't been prebaked. if you see it passed, that means it was worked out behind the
6:06 pm
scenes. there was a degree the democrats were playing saying mitch mcconnell has blocked the bills. the question is can they work out something -- liz: i don't understand why did mitch mcconnell block those bills? >> he believes they are partisan efforts by the democrats. he says the bill came over to from the house of representatives. he called it the guaranteed reelection act. liz: they are throwing money at the problem, not fixing the problem? >> absolutely. there is criticism in the sense they are not willing to put those on the floor. liz: we'll stay on that story for you.
6:07 pm
the nothing burger is what critics are calling the mueller hearing. here is what jerry nadler is saying after nadler rang the fire engine red alarm bell saying the judiciary is in full-on impeachment mode. nadler said the judiciary is in impeachment inquiry. but nadler setting his own time frame for impeachment. >> he richly deserves impeachment. he violated the laws six ways from sunday. but that's not the question. the question is can we develop enough evidence to put before the american people? we have broken the log jak jam. liz: the polls are coming in. the mueller hearing did not change americans' views on impeachment. nearly half of americans said the hearings didn't change their
6:08 pm
minds. why aren't 2020 dems talking about impeachment? because voters aren't asking. let, bring in former deputy attorney general, tom duf dew d. if people are unhappy with the president they can vote him out at the ballot box. the more they delay the more likely it will evolve to 2020. liz: house democrats are saying the president is not giving them oversight. he's violating a different part of the constitution by obstructing the congress in its
6:09 pm
lawful and constitutional duty. that would be a crime, not a misdemeanor. a misdemeanor is not a lesser crime, but violating the separation of powers would be such a misdemeanor. the president is doing everything he can to push us into an impeachment. if we can't get adequate answers from the court in time, that in itself will be an impeachable offense. liz: historians said by that standard you could impeach obama, bill clinton, an ronald reagan. adam schiff is frustrated that mueller did not do the democrats' job for them. >> i wish he had testifiedified in a more -- testified in a more narrative fashion. we in the media didn't do a good enough job of sum miegs in a bite-size way. why not put everything on a
6:10 pm
3 x 5 card that we just say over and over. >> he wasn't a partisan and he didn't want to be part of that. liz: that was adam schiff sounding like an msnbc pundit. >> a lot of the democrats thought he, an advocate. an avenging angel who would tell the whole story that they would support impeachment. now they are looking to plan b. it smacks of desperation. if that were the standard, i don't know if we haven't ever had a president in u.s. history who couldn't be impeached on that basis. liz: john radcliffe is taking over for dan coats as director of intelligence. >> can you give me an example
6:11 pm
other than donald trump where the justice department determined an investigated person was not exonerated because their innocence was not conclusionively determined? time is short. i have got five minutes. you can't find it, i'll tell you why. it doesn't exist. >> this an incredibly important job, supervising nations and intelligence agencies. it would benefit the president to have a strong role. it became clear over time that perhaps senator coats didn't share the president's point of view. it's the president's administration and he has the right to put people in the job he wants. liz: look at james comey taking a shot at dan coats for continuing the proud tradition of director of national
6:12 pm
intelligence. loyal only to the truth? hopefully you won't be the last. >> i don't like giving james comey the final word. i agree with the substance of it. butter time i hear something from jim comey i have to shake my head ru ruefully. liz: the federal reserve will likely cut interest rates for the first time in a decade a quarter point. we have got special fed decision coverage, an all-star cast starting wednesday at 2:00 p.m. on making money with charles payne. coming up, the democrats getting ready to rumble talking up their game about how they are going to destroy trump. a big obama democrat said come on, 2020 democrats. you have got to get your act
6:13 pm

6:14 pm
6:17 pm
liz: remember the scene, late june 2020 democrat debate when all 2020 democrats raised their hands yes to giving health coverage to illegal immigrants. president trump tweeted, that's the end of tha that. a poll shows 60% oppose that. >> it's great to see you. another great week in american politics. are you ready for the debate? liz: americans don't like this. labor unions don't like losing their coverage either. a poll shows americans don't want us giving health coverage to illegal immigrants. >> liz, you know what? most of americans i would bet you 90% do not wish to see their
6:18 pm
coverage taken away from them if they have a preexisting conditions. there are nine different plans the democratic candidates are talking about. everything from the affordable care act. >> i want to react -- recall man thed the president obama's former chief staff web said you have got to mark it off. >> we are talking about taking away 150 million people's private healthcare and the first thing we are going to do is give illegals' free healthcare? liz: rahm emanuel said not even teddy kennedy took this position. >> i agree what rahm is saying in terms of the premise.
6:19 pm
we have to make sure we strengthen thed the care for tall americans. but when people are showing you have at the emergency room, showing up sick, and they happen to be undocumented, we still pay for their healthcare. i believe that the policy proposal who believe undocumented workers should be able to -- liz: then you will have a flood of people trying to cross the border. that's what's happening at the border. that's a fact. that's what the border patrol is saying, they are coming in to get healthcare'. >> they are not coming in for healthcare. liz: rahm emanuel is saying stick to policies, stop chasing tweets on twitter. why rebuke a system where you have 90% of americans already
6:20 pm
getting coverage? >> we can find several democrats who have digs agreements with that running for president. rahm is not running for president. i understand what rahm is saying. i know way need to say, and that is the democrats have to run on what they believe in and how they can best serve the american people. they should not be running on sound bites. nor should they be running on tweets as we see from the commander-in-chief. i think rahm has it right in some areas and other areas i would question his thinking. liz: if you have single payer, it will rip up their health coverage. that's a big bargaining chip in negotiations. >> absolutely. that's one of the reasons many democrats including joe biden is taking what labor members are worried about.
6:21 pm
we are in a primary contest. we are going to hear a lot of things we agree with and things we disagree with. one of the reasons we have presidential primaries is to figure out who has the best solutions to these problems. liz, i can't wait to see this next round of debates and we can figure out who won and who lost. >> bind is really on the hot seat because he's uncoachable. >> those 10 candidates who have to make the requirements for the next round of debates, they are the ones on the hot seat. let's bring in fox news medical correspondent, dr. marc siegel. your take on that interchange. your take on illegal immigrants crossing the border even more if you give them health insurance
6:22 pm
coverage. >> i think your point to her is correct. i think you are opening the doors more if you have say come here for health coverage. we already have laws in this country that clinics and emergency rooms have to take care of everyone undocumented immigrants. that's the law. and yes, i am worried about our emergency rooms going belly up. but not from that. what will make them go belly up is going to medicare for all. most of of the democratic candidates, several of them, are still fixated on this medicare for all which is a direct attack to the employer-based healthcare system. it paves doctors more, pays hospitals more, supports research and academics. it's got her to choices. medicare and medicaid, doctors
6:23 pm
are fleeing that. liz: she is talking about the 10% who don't have coverage. we looked into the numbers. 88% of americans have coverage. >> we can figure out ways to get them catastrophic coverage. we can figure that out maybe, maybe, and this one way i wrote about it today, by getting rid of the individual mandate and we offer more plans. liz: why rip up obamacare and immediate i caused and medicare and put everybody into the single-payer dmv. >> which is not medicare. it's closer to medicaid. you don't do that. you don't rip it up. they will lose all the purple states if they do that.
6:24 pm
people who are proud of giving insurance to their families will not go for this. liz retur -- liz: your take? >> basically you can't keep your doctor and you weenlt be able to keep them if you go to a government-run program where you are rotating doctors and nurse track advertisers. liz: great to see you. political bias. the media calling out the hard left for their hypocrisy when it comes to their anti-israel positions. their flip-flops on the border and more. the pushback floated by democrats in the media that trump's strict border policies caused the wave of illegals.
6:25 pm
6:26 pm
who also have known heart disease. it can significantly reduce my risk of dying from a cardiovascular event. and it lowers my a1c, with diet and exercise. jardiance can cause serious side effects including dehydration, genital yeast or urinary tract infections, and sudden kidney problems. ketoacidosis is a serious side effect that may be fatal. a rare, but life-threatening bacterial infection in the skin of the perineum could occur. stop taking jardiance and call your doctor right away if you have symptoms of this bacterial infection, ketoacidosis, or an allergic reaction. do not take jardiance if you are on dialysis or have severe kidney problems. taking jardiance with a sulfonylurea or insulin may cause low blood sugar. so, now what do you think? while my a1c is important, there's so much more to think about. ask your doctor about jardiance today. content on their endless quest, to nowhere.s, run hopelessly in their cage. there's so much more to think about. but perhaps this year, a more exhilarating endeavor awaits.
6:27 pm
6:29 pm
liz: breaking news on the war on terror. the feds arrested two men for conspiring to provide support to isis. they were arrested at tucson international airport. they were trying to escape to the area of egypt. they were communicate can with an fbi undercover employee. them were busted at the airport before they could get on the plane. let's get to robert scales. general, your reaction to that news. >> i understand that these two guys were beth emigrated to the united states. isn't it interesting what a place oh small yeah has in the generation of the domestic terrorism. they sent several dozen living in the united states back to
6:30 pm
syria to fight alongside isis. one of the groups most of influenced by isis it just reinforces the fact that in spite all this emphasis on domestic terrorism and focused on american nationalism, isis is still the main threat to the united states. these guys are still at it. they are being influenced over the internet and we have to remain diligent. all it takes is one successful attempt for this to start all over again. liz: i want to switch gears. forgive me for switching gears. but we have the secretary of state going to asia. china and hong kong still in a big diplomatic uproar. your take on that? >> it's very interesting. you mentioned china. but there have also been riots
6:31 pm
on the streets of moscow. iranian leadership is cracking down inside tehran. and now we have the 8th day of riots in hong kong. isn't it interesting most of these authoritarian states fail because they collapse internally when the people -- the population of these countries, china, russia and now iran, revolt against the leadership, the corrupt leadership of these states. every czar for the last 200 years has been deposed by assassination or internal revolution. all of these poete ask potentats aren't so much afraid of the united states as they are of their own people. liz: two isis supporters arrested at the tucson
6:32 pm
international airport. an update on the mass shooting at the gilroy garlic festival. the fbi searching for a motive. at least three people killed. 12 others wound. a 19-year-old suspect allegedly opened fire with wane ak-47. among the dead, a 6-year-old boy. police shot and killed the gunman shortly after he opened fire. to the bank robber, the notorious ping lady bandits allegedly on a crime spree. we are talking pennsylvania, texas and north carolina. she knocked off one of the banks carrying a bright ping pocketbook. the worst measles outbreak in nearly 30 years. 16 new measles cases in the last week. but that's just about a 1%
6:33 pm
increase in the week prior. watch out, if you have apple siri, independent contractors work for apple regularly listening in on that device and siri. they say it's for quality control. private discussions involving doctors are getting picked up. and they are hearing sphiets between couples and even drug deals. apple says it fights to insure privacy and these conversations involve less than 1% of daily siri activation. your daily dashboard from fidelity. a visual snapshot of your investments. key portfolio events. all in one place. because when it's decision time... you need decision tech.
6:34 pm
6:38 pm
racist for tweeting his adversary ally gentleman cummings has been a big bully to the men and women of the border patrol while the city of baltimore is a rat-infested, filthy place where nobody would want to live. gianno, ways your take to all of this? >> i was very offended that people would assume that someone who calls out democrats for taking us for granted, those who aren't doing their job, they have been in office taking advantage of the people's will and you see people living in sufficient depressed conditions. he was right to call him out. more americans need to hold people accountable for the conditions people are living in whether it's baltimore or the
6:39 pm
south side of chicago. they have taken us for granted. liz: bernie sanders described it as being like north korea. racism is now a club to beat up and silence opponents and put the gag on discussion of problems without solutions. baltimore had the highest rate of homicide of any city. >> that's another important cycle. they used the race card when it comes to republicans. this is a typical tactic of the left. and it's one that's been effective. now there is people that are actually fighting back. the truth of the matter is the democrats hate that, especially ones who make them look bad. you have people suffering from their inaction. and they don't have anybody who
6:40 pm
is able to speak for them. those times have changed. liz: he was pointing out the conditions in baltimore. $1.8 billion in stimulus money came out of the obama administration to baltimore during president trump's term. your reaction to that. >> i mean that's so interesting. there is over 22% of individual who are residents in baltimore living in poverty. i wonder where does that money go. we see two or three mayors have been forced out of office. it's not surprising. we see the failure of leadership that continues to happen in these urban centers. they seemingly don't care about the people. we are seeing those issues highlighted across the country. liz: the "baltimore sun"
6:41 pm
editorial board ripped into president trump saying better to have a few rats than to be one. the former mayor of baltimore noted the situation saying you can even smell the rodents when she was touring the neighborhood. there is even a pbs documentary about the problem of rats in baltimore. so what's changed here? >> you look at the hbo series that talks about the drug, corruption and violence in baltimore. my hats off to the one who recorded the videos. they went to the mayor and talked about this two years ago saying when are you going to help the people in the i of baltimore and they have done nothing.
6:42 pm
i hope now president trump has put the pressure on, they will make some changes. i'm sure there will be expose's about this for weeks to come. people are tired of this mess. liz, thanks for joining us. you can add the name of rashida tlaib to the growing list of democrats who say no president trump doesn't deserve credit for a growing economy. h a snowstorm for a cigarette, that's when i knew i had to quit. for real this time. that's why i'm using nicorette. only nicorette gum has patented dual-coated technology for great taste. plus intense craving relief. every great why, needs a great how.
6:45 pm
and my side super soft? be firm? with the sleep number 360 smart bed you can both... adjust your comfort with your sleep number setting. so, can it help us fall asleep faster? yes, by gently warming your feet. but can it help keep me asleep? absolutely, it intelligently senses your movements and automatically adjusts to keep you both effortlessly comfortable. will it help me keep up with him? yup. so, you can really promise better sleep?
6:46 pm
not promise... prove. and now, save up to $600 on select sleep number 360 smart beds. plus no interest until january 2022 on all smart beds. only for a limited time. liz: big border victories for president trump. getting guatemala to agree to let migrants apply first for asylum. then the supreme court ruled the white house can redirect $6.5 billion from the defense department. all this might make those rethink that it's a manufactured crisis. >> this is a manufactured crisis. noise need for to us do this. >> the president uses the backdrop of the oval office to manufacture a crisis. >> the president should stop manufacturing a crisis.
6:47 pm
the crisis on the border is a manufactured crisis. >> this so-called crisis at the border is fake. this is a crisis of his own making because it was a campaign pledge. liz: you don't really hear that line any more, do you? >> you don't because many democrats have had to face the fact and go down to the southern border and see the situation for themselves. of course, this is not a manufactured crisis. the fact of the matter is president trump is doing everything in his power to bring some sort of order to the southern border. the supreme court move is a step in the right direction that will have more border walls which we know will work. nancy pelosi knows this from california. hopefully this is the beginning of the country moving in the right direction.
6:48 pm
liz: watch this pushback on julian castro. >> when you were mayor of san antonio you testified before congress and called for increased border security measures and praised the obama administration's actions. i want to play it. >> in texas we know firsthand this administration has put more boots on the ground along the border than at any other time in our history which led to unprecedented success in removing dangerous individuals with criminal records. >> why did you praise that policy then, but when the trump administration adopts similar language and policies you are hyper critical of them? >> i think that's a very, very far stretch. i haven't changed at all. if there are people who committed serious felonies in the united states who are immigrants or who come to the border, i have always consistently said that those
6:49 pm
people should be apprehended. liz: you see what's going on? they consistently dodge the question. he wants to decriminalize the border. >> he's not alone. there is a clear choice for americans. open borders tore secure borders where we have a law enforcement system that keeps americans safe and allows legitimate cases of asylum seekers to come in. liz: politifact is a watchdog shop. it went after senator dick durbin saying president trump is responsible for the border crisis. watch dick durbin. >> this get-tough president who says he'll cut off foreign aid to countries in central mayor yeah has ended up attracting larger numbers of people coming to the united states presenting themselves for asylum status at our border than we have ever seen.
6:50 pm
dramatic increases we haven't seen in decades for people at the border. >> does anyone believe that president trump is the reason that our borders are being flooded? you have to hand it to him, he has a good economy, so perhaps people see the benefits of want to go start a new life here. but when you have democrats. people on the left promising free healthcare for illegal immigrants and more social services. we are going to have more and more people coming here. we need to contain this and have some sort of order along our southern border. liz: did the democrats jump the shark when all of them raised their hands to say yes we support health insurance for illegal immigrants. can we time stop' this and say that's the point where they lost the race? >> absolutely. there is a fascinating poll out that found illegal immigration is among the top concern for americans right now. i think that's because we are
6:51 pm
seeing how far the left is moving on this issue, not just open borders, but providing taxpayer funded healthcare when many americans are struggling to provide healthcare for their families. liz: gallup says surpassing government and healthcare coverage concerns. what you don't see on that list? russia. you don't see russian interference or collusion in any way, shape or form. kelsey? >> we need to have a broader discussion about this, and the question, open borders or a secure border that works for americans and legitimate asylum seekers. liz: kelsey, great to see you. liz: wait until you hear what rashida tlaib says the real reason more people are work and
6:52 pm
wages are going up. her explanation coming up. fifty years ago, humanity went to a place it had never been. a place without rivals, hostilities, or cultural differences. "the eagle has landed" that place wasn't 240,000 miles away, "one small step for man" for a few moments, it was right here at home, "one giant leap for mankind" over 4,000 people from ibm helped apollo 11 get us there,
6:53 pm
today, we are ready to take the next giant leap, wherever it may lead. and my side super soft? be firm? with the sleep number 360 smart bed you can both... adjust your comfort with your sleep number setting. so, can it help us fall asleep faster? yes, by gently warming your feet. but can it help keep me asleep? absolutely, it intelligently senses your movements and automatically adjusts to keep you both effortlessly comfortable. will it help me keep up with him? yup. so, you can really promise better sleep? not promise... prove. and now, save up to $600 on select sleep number 360 smart beds. plus no interest until january 2022 on all smart beds. only for a limited time. my bladder leak underwear.orried someone might see so, i switched. to always discreet boutique. its shape-hugging threads smooth out the back. so it fits better than depend. and no one notices. always discreet.

6:56 pm
bedford. we have strategists for democratic party, saying that biden is uncoachable. they are frustrated with him, he will not follow instructions, one person said it will be like thunder dome with everyone going after biden. >> he is on the defense. he will be the subject of attack. i knew he would be in trouble with being accused of being too friendly with republicans or conservativ. throughout his career, i am not expected how vicious kamala harris within at him, it seems in. >> he was not expecting it either. then herman cain was on top for about a month, there is a long way to go. the problem that biden has, he has a leaky campaign, his own staff have been leaking on him over and over.
6:57 pm
elizabeth: really. >> to the press. elizabeth: negative? >> always cover their butts after something goes wrong with biden, saying we did as good as we can. that combined with control of losing narrative could sink a battleship. elizabeth: who would have thought, democrats leaking? there own guy? here is congresswoman tlaib, saying that wages are going up because of protests. >> wages are going up. >> they are going up because the people demand it do up, not because donald trump wanted them to go up, does that make sense, the movement for fight for 15 is growing, it because of movement work, not because of who is president of the united states. elizabeth: now to facts, federal data show 156 billion people are working, department of labor, data show only 2% make the minimum wage, that is not enough to move the needle up for wages,
6:58 pm
it is because more boats are buying moved higher. >> it is not her first opportunity to answer this question. he pushed over and over. she kept saying, it is not getting better, americans are not feeling it. but the wages are up. we've been following it for years, we know that wages have not risen in the united states for many years, they have been stagnant. this president has been focused very much on the american work worker. and i don't think that direct action and blm . and other groups will sell as well as that. elizabeth: president trump spiething that antifa -- tweet thanksgivintweeting that antifa. he is considering calling them an organization of terror like
6:59 pm
ms-13, that would make it easier for police to do their job, we know senators cruz and cassidy wanted it. >> that would be a good idea. we exposed the leader of antifa, they have been going out with masks on, we figured out who he was we put his picture up, because of that 2 marines who were attacked, hispanic marines, they had short air cuts, they were viciously assaulted, he thought they were nazi, he is up for charges in philadelphia. it is insane to see everything in the world right now as compared to nazi, there are masked vigilante, political thugs g act -- thugs going aroud attacks opponent that is dangerous, police need the tools to go after them. elizabeth: chris bedford thank you. >> thank you. elizabeth: give us a story. >> they doxed us for it.
7:00 pm
>> chris bedford thank you. thank you for watching. we hope we helped you tonight, lou dobbs is next right here on the fox business network, have a good evening. >> good evening, president trump's attacks on democratic pole tigs -- politicians and their policies have radical dimms in disarray and distress. elijah cummings should have known better whether or not watching jeb bush, marco rubio, george w. bush or hillary clinton in 20 16,00 16, now elih warren. and joe biden, president trump always made it clear, mess with the bull and get the horns. blaming cummings in
