6:03 pm
i'm elizabeth macdonald, "the evening edit" starts right now. welcome to the show. you are watching the fox business network. president trump arriving in bedminster, new jersey where he'll spend the weekend. and we'll have more on john ratcliffe. his name has been withdrawn as director of intelligence. reporter: good evening. the president thread his way to new jersey. he'll be spending the weekend at his golf resort. the headline before he left d.c. d.c., he's not going forward with the nomination of john ratcliffe for the director of national intelligence.
6:04 pm
he was expected to face a grilling on capitol hill for his position. we heard from democrats and republicans that there were fears ratcliffe may not be qualified for this position. but the president said ratcliffe decided to pull his name from consideration. president trump: he asked him, do you want to go through this for two or three months or do you want plea to do something else? and he thought about it. i said it's going to be rough. i can see the way the press is going. reporter: it's not clear hot president may decide to go with next. dan coats is expected to leave his job in mid-august. he may appoint gordon as the acting director. when it comes to the top job there are at least three candidates. the president is defending the
6:05 pm
white house vetting process despite with happened with ratcliffe's possible nomination. chuck schumer said representative ratcliffe never should have been considered in the first place. the president says the press also plays a role in this vetting process. we'll look to see if anything happens over the weekend. liz: president trump not holding back, attacking the 2020 democrats at the rally. >> we are not going to let our country go down the route of socialism. liz: no favor coming in. here the reports of a democrat shakeout. hear who qualified for the september debate.
6:06 pm
pete piewt judge and cory booker. but here is the new litmus test for the democrat party. critics warrant many yanking them too far left. and it undercuts obama's legacy on obamacare. as far as the healthcare, undocumented people can buy healthcare, too. >> we can create, the green new deal is a bold idea. >> would you decriminalize illegal border crossing? >> the point is not about criminalization. >> canceling -- >> unmy medicare for all plan, yes, employers are not going to be able to dictate the kind of healthcare their employees get. >> the on way we'll guarantee the family separations don't happen in the future, we need to repeal this law. liz: here is what else is going
6:07 pm
on on top of everything they just said. the post editorial board ripped into warn and bernie sanders for promoting idea like medicare for all that can't work. they specifically said this about single payer. quote, proposals should meet a baseline of feasibility. let's bring in for his reaction, bill mcgurn. it's friday. that was a takedown by "the washington post." >> my colleague kim strassel said in a column that people who characterize the debate as moderate versus the progressives. but she he it's the completely crazy against the not so crazy. even joe biden is talking about eliminating fossil fuels. these things have real world
6:08 pm
consequences. eliminating private understand and giving coverage to illegal aliens. what they did on those two nights was fill a lot of commercials for the rnc. liz: here is the are you kidding me moment. congress does not include the under cost on its spending when the cbo scores it. how can we do all this spending when no one has the interest costs on it. >> i think neither party distinguished itself on spending the last two years. the president made some noises recently. but he hasn't don't. the democrats, their favorite word is trillion. trillion spending. liz: medicare unfunded liabilities is double the national debt.
6:09 pm
here isp obama. cited -- here is president obama. obama supported single payer in 2003. >> he always tried to have it both ways. people have said obama is too conservative for today's democratic party. he campaigned as a moderate but i governed pretty blue. the healthcare, pushing the obamacare through with no republican vote and so forth. he pretended to be more moderate. he was willing to say you can keep your doctor if you want to and it wasn't true. liz: remember when obama said don't get into a circular firing
6:10 pm
squad, now it's aimed at him. >> will the higher deportations resume if you are president. >> absolutely not. >> you can't have it both ways, you invoke president obama more than anybody in this campaign. >> open borders is a right-wing talking point. >> the plan does not cover anyone in america by your staff and your own definition. as many as 10 million people will not have access to healthcare. liz: that's joe biden's version of dialing back. i want to get to this. chuck schumer says stop the firing squad. and the media warning don't make the race about obama. >> he's at 90% among democrats. the most of successful president who had an incredible cleave staff, i will say that, since
6:11 pm
the great society. >> when did you decide attacking a president was a good idea and the president should be obama? is this fair game in your mind? >> does this risk fracturing the party. >> it's fair game. i am just not sure it's productive. >> i think it is fair game. when you have that's candidate you are going to get a circular firing squad. i think a lot of them are going further than president trump did. the most of interesting quote last night is where president trump said they attacked obama more than me during the dough bait. he was largely right. that man damage they showed with d that montage they showed of bind, that was about obama even though he wasn't named. i think some of the moderate made good points that this is
6:12 pm
not realistic. but i don't think it will affect the nomination. they are all at low single digits. liz: president trump announced a deal to expand exports with europe. edward lawrence at the white house with more. edward? >> president trump signed a limited trade agreement. this agreement does a number of things. the first thing it does is give president trump a victory on a partial trade deal. it allows u.s. ranchers to be competitive in europe. it guarantees the u.s. shaffer exports in the marketplace and resolve the long-standing issue with the wto. president trump: we love our farmers abarran muchers. with this announcement we take one more step giving them the level playing field. they have been looking forward to this for mani' many years.
6:13 pm
they want a level playing field. that's all they want. reporter: the administration in the middle of a larger trade dial with the european union. the european union does not want to add agricultural in that deal. the united states want agriculture in any deal they do with the european union. they hope the deal signed today helps nudge the greater deal along. the president signed the deal pausing the debt ceiling until july 2021, increases spending on the military. the signing comes as the house is in recess and the senate is in a recess starting today for their summer break. liz: why some political pundit are trying to argue that elizabeth warren's policies are just like president trump's.
6:14 pm
the backlash over the president saying mexico has done more to protect the border than the democrats. we have the story behind that one. stay with us. this was me before liberty mutucustomized my car insurance, so i only pay for what i needd this! any physical changes to this man's appearance are purely coincidental. only pay for what you need. ♪ liberty. liberty. liberty. liberty. ♪ when i walked through a snowthat's when i knewtte, 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. 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.

6:19 pm
the failure to make good deals with china, india, and mexico. trump came in and called bs on that and is making a difference. so any democratic competitor who tries to capitalize on the trade issue, they will be agreeing with trump. the horrors, a democratic candidate agrees with trump. liz: to your point, that's what's happening right now. a cnn panel praising elizabeth warren's policy on trade saying she is like the report when it comes to trade. watch this. >> think about what her message is at its core. the diagnosis is the system is rigged and you are getting skewed. there will be a lot of blue collar people in america who
6:20 pm
understood trump's narrative that was have much like that. she has you a different approach, and a lot of people say you know what? his approach didn't work, maybe his will. liz: that reality check clearly bounds with this analyst. elizabeth warren wants to eliminate domestic fossil fuel subsidies. a carbon tax on imports from foreign countries that use a lot of oil and gas. no trade with china, korea, germany, italy, ireland, on and on. really, she is like trump? >> those predatory manipulators in ireland. everybody knows they are taking over the world. but look at this laundry list of things she is against. she is against fossil fuel? the genius of american

6:22 pm
everything. she is leaving out in the jobs report this morning. 250,000 long-term urn employed people got jobs last month. that's what the date louisiana shows. is she going to say that? no. she is creating a hateful narrative. she is never going to be elected president because she is telling the american people everything is going terribly wrong. but things are so much better today than they were three years ago. they will laugh her off the stage. some pundit says she is like trump. pundits say things all the time. it's just not true. liz: they are saying america is a dark place and everything is going wrong. and the only way is to spend more. >> elizabeth warren is a trained lawyer. she is trained to odd row kate
6:23 pm
for her client. her client is herself. she is an articulate lawyer. that's not what we need. we need somebody like trump who is a blue collar billionaire who can look into the hearts and souls of the american voter. discover what they need and try his best to deliver it. this isn't a lawsuit. liz: how is he a blue collar billionaire. >> i think we can agree he's a billionaire and i think week agree his agenda is forgotten -- is addressing the forgotten american. liz: check out this video of a single plane made an emergency landing on a road in washington state. this is not the first time of it happened. but it mite be the first time an

6:33 pm
they are deployed in russia. they are deployed in russia and threatened all of europe. they have say if we deploy this. but they have deployed it. so the russians are in non-compliance with the treaty. liz: the new stark treaty imposes limit. your reaction to president trump on north korea doing weapons test. he said kim jong-un is doing the right thing because he's too smart not to. he doesn't want to upset his friend, president trump. does president trump need to be more aggressive with him? >> the north koreans are involved in developing leverage.
6:34 pm
the north koreans decided not to show. the fact is as the president mentioned we are trying to start talks with them. those tests are meant to create leverage against the united states at the negotiating table if we get back to it. i don't think we need to overreact to this. it is a violation of u.s. sanctions against north korea. but this how north korea plays, they play hardball. liz: let's get to hong kong. we have pro-democracy protests in hong kong. hong kong government workers joining and the chinese military threatening action. are you worried about a tienanmen square-type problem? >> we should be concerned. the people of hong kong are

concerned about the erosion of their limited liberties. they have limited liberties. it's not a full democracy. but china has a lot of equities here. hong coverage is incredibly important economically. china is worried about something like an incident happening. and what effect that might have on a bigger prize, that's taiwan. they want taiwan to unify with it. the democracy in taiwan. if they see what's going on in long tong and it's met with violence, it would hurt public opinion there. liz: to the backlash president trump is facing after declaring that the homicide rate is higher in baltimore than central america. later in the show after escaping
