♪ liz: a lot of action in d.c. edward lawrence with more, edward? reporter: president donald trump canceling the trip to poland because after hurricane with its sights set on florida. the president sending vice president mike pence to poland in his place. that is in case the president needs to oversee any type of response. the president also a few hours ago launching the u.s. space command. he wants to make that the 6th branch of the military underneath the air force. the president needs congressional approval for that, but he does want to make sure that this goes into play. listen. >> we opened another great chapter in the extraordinary history of the united states military. spacecom will insure that america's dominance in space is never questioned, never threatened. reporter: the president, says that space force will protect the united states from threats from above. the president also protecting his reputation after two years
6:04 pm
of bashing former fbi director james comey, the president now has some backup through inspector general report. that report says that comey set a dangerous example for fbi employees in his handling of sensitive information but the justice department declining to prosecute. on twitter comey fired back asking for an apology. no apology needed for the markets today. they liked the news coming out of china. the markets seeing or hearing chinese spokespeople say current level of tariffs are sufficient. no more, going after the u.s. and tit-for-tat. the president has support from republicans and democrats over china, but trade groups are starting to balk. >> we thrive on certainty, business thrives on certainty. i tell you talking to members, continuously over the last few month, when they were planning to invest in job creation or in systems, innovation, all those investment plans have been placed on hold to kind of deal
6:05 pm
with uncertainty of tariffs. reporter: we are expecting face-to-face meet national september. when the chinese do come to the united states, the u.s. delegation wants to see what concessions they will put back, that the u.s. trade representative robert lighthizer said they eliminated. one more thing before i go. "wall street journal" reporting late today, that u.s. prosecutors are looking at new allegations into huawei about stealing intellectual property. "the wall street journal" saying in one case, the companies stole from an individual in portugal, camera technology for its phones. so the u.s. trying to get a trade deal. going after huawei as a national security threat. liz: edward, there is so much news in washington, we'll get you a special oxygen tank. there is so much. edward lawrence. thank you so much. james comey taking shots at president trump, ig found that
6:06 pm
neither comey or attorneys released any classified information. a quick story we lied about you would be nice. ask yourselves why you still trust people that gave you the information for so long including the president? there is a lot of bad information in what comey tweet the out. he left out this from his tweets, that the i.g. found the man who holds himself out as a paragone of virtue broke dozens of government rules, failed to live up to his responsibility to protect civil liberties, set a dangerous example for 35,000 fbi workers. his conduct, so bad, he quote, shocked and stunned his colleagues. joining me now for his reaction, former federal prosecutor. this was a pretty damning report, andrew. >> absolutely. it shows mr. comey was acting with a personal agenda, he had no respect for the rule of law. he touts virtue but acts as a renegade. it is pretty shocking. liz: from the get-go, it was
6:07 pm
clear from the ig report that james comey felt that president trump was misleading fundamentally in his character. it is clear there was bias in what james comey was doing according to what the ig found. show what the ig found. comey would have fired any worker who did what comey did. he routinely hid information from the president. he also knew about the steele dossier shoddy credibility and how the democrats paid for it. didn't tell the president about that. your reaction to what the doj specifically found? >> with regard to the ig report, i think the reaction is, almost disappointing that there can be so many violations of policies and rules, yet seems to avoid any real consequence where he is not currently working for the department of justice. it was instance after instance after instance where there is, really incredulous arguments he was making, what documents he was maintaining after his employment.
6:08 pm
it really at end of the day, reaction is shocking there isn't some sort of a tool to show a consequence. liz: when the doj inspect sore general cited quote, comey's threats to civil liberties he didn't protect, didn't live up to the responsibility to protect civil liberties he leaked to the media to get a special counsel appointed, to manufacture evidence after he did not have enough evidence to pursue that in his own official capacity, finding no criminal conspiracy? >> the idea of what it seems like mr. comey was doing, he felt stymied by inadinadequacies what the doj was letting him do, the idea that mr. trump was getting away with something. he took it on his own to go outside of bounds of what rules and regulations, policies call for. you have to be concerned when you have people inside of the state doing things outside of what it allows you to do.
6:09 pm
liz: if we could show again, put up on the screen, james comey's tweet today. again, disingenuous. he says that the ig found no evidence that he or his lawyers leaked any classified information. here is the fastball comey ising by or trying to whip by everyone. he himself got to determine in his role as fbi director what is classified. and he is relying on the fact that at the time, at the time he leaked his memos, that they were not categorized as classified or having sensitive information, because he buried his memos. people at fbi didn't know them. they were only deemed classified after he was fired. after the fact. after he leaked to "the new york times." even his tweet is disingenuous, andrew. >> so i have worked with classified information on many instances. the idea is, not just that at the moment that you obtain it or look at it do you have to think about responsibilities but you have a continuing obligation afterwards. so what he, what the evidence essentially shows he had a
6:10 pm
document, he later gave it to his attorneys, after that saw, that the document was classified, but didn't disclose the fact that he had given it to his attorneys, something that he arguably had a legal obligation to do at that time. i say arguably because i'm trying to be as neutral as possible but really does to the look good, especially for somebody who had so many experience with classified information. liz: he is the guy who sets tone for 35,000 fbi workers. he too used his own personal devices in dealing with these memos. the same thing that hillary clinton was accused of shockingly. you know, the fact that even leaked sets the wrong tone for the fbi officials. your final word on this if by the way -- andrew, more shoes will drop here, right? there are probably more people in trouble here. what do you think? >> anybody who has their hands in this, the idea there is actions that are going on outside of what the policies and
6:11 pm
regulations allow for, that is going to get you fired. if people, who are in now dealt with that, they're going to be gone. but i think beg picture, real concern there has to be teeth, when somebody does this sort of behavior, policy violations, rule violations one step short of the law, there is not enough consequences. that is a real concern i have. liz: because he was fired for mishandling the hillary clinton email probe in his press conferences there. andrew, thank you very. really appreciate it. >> okay. liz: hurricane dorian is gaining strength into a potential category 4. it is barreling towards the east coast of florida. we'll get you updated here, winds gusting over 100 miles per hour expected to hit this weekend. here is a warning from a former fema administrator. >> the most important thing, anybody from the florida keys well into the georgia coast should be paying very close attention to what happens. any small change in the forecast at this point can have huge
6:12 pm
ramifications along the coast three days from now. but talking with the national hurricane center, others that are in there working these forecasts, there is nothing in the way of this storm that will keep it from rapidly intensifying. liz: get you more information from rick reichmuth. he is live from the fox news weather center. rick? >> liz, he is right nothing really should stop it. we could see dry air get in the middle. that could maybe do it a little bit. but overall conditions are pretty ripe for it to continue to strengthen. this is the official forecast from the national hurricane center, brings it to category 3 storm tomorrow. gets into major strength. maybe up to category 4 by sunday. what you will in the, there is sunday, there is monday and there's tuesday. it stops its forward progression, starts moving much more slowly. that means we'll see prolonged events of rain, prolonged wind. that causes more and more
6:13 pm
damage, more and more flooding. this is very uncertain. when you look at this, that means, center of it five days from now could could be anywhere within those points. there is still a ton of uncertainty where the storm will go. let me bring you down why we're looking at that. we are seeing pretty organized storm still. pressure dropped today. but correspondingly the wind, sustained winds have not gone up. we think that will start to happen tomorrow. when you look at the track, seems like everything is going much better than it was yesterday. at least looking like we're seeing more consensus, continuing to move off towards the west. eventually the right-hand turn. one thinking, we saw we were seeing a the love consensus. one of our really reliable computer models, european model is familiar, we talked about, earlier model runs were pretty lined up. latest model run of european, that is monday. one showing landfall monday. the official track showing
6:14 pm
landfall on monday. this guy suddenly gets much slower and doesn't make any kind of a landfall, tuesday, wednesday, right along the coast. there is thursday. our american model, winds it around the eastern seaboard for about a week after that. my point is, liz, everybody will be tired of us talking about this storm. this will be a long, with us for a very, very long time. and florida obviously is first spot we'll -- liz: rick you're always spot on with the forecasts every period i worked with you. it will be with us a long time. rick requiring mute. thank you so much. president trump slamming msnbc's lawrence o'donnell after o'donnell retract ad thinly sourced bombshell with virtually no corroboration alleging the president got loans from deutsche bank with russian oligarchs as cosigners this fight is not over rao yet. tariffs kicking in on sunday. democrat, media hamminger away
6:15 pm

[shouting] liz: latest on brexit. over a million people signed a petition against prime minister boris johnson's plan to suspend parliament, in order to push through brexit. meantime joe biden raised eyebrows with this comment about boris johnson. >> i don't know of the new prime minister of england. he looks like donald trump. i don't know -- [laughter] liz: okay. fox news amy kellogg has more in london about brexit. amy? >> liz, there has been three years of angst over brexit here. it didn't seem possible that the issue could become anymore fraught or contentious but it has. prime minister boris johnson to paws parliament for a month, towards very end of brexit countdown, led to some calls of constitutional outrage, that one commentator called it, an
6:20 pm
outrage olympics around here. there have been protests. parliament will reconvene next week. have a week to 10 days to debate how to prevent brexit happening without a deal with the eu. end of october. parliament will break until october 14th. some day there has been plenty of time already to come up with that elusive deal with the eu. so perhaps a no-deal brexit is the only way out. but up certainty of what no deal means strikes dread in hearts of some millions of europeans that live in the uk, like this portuguese woman who says she has been a carrier of some sort working with children and elderly in two decades of britain, she considers this her home. >> loads of english friends never do this to me. why this unelected parliament did this to us? >> liz, parliament was elected. prime minister johnson took over from theresa may was chosen by a coterie of conservative party
6:21 pm
members. pausing parliament is necessary for putting through his own agenda, finally, but the opposition is convinced that this is about pushing through a no-deal brexit. there will be a holy confrontation in parliament next week when it reconvenes and opposition is already plotting ways to overturn what johnson is proposing to do. and, there are many options they're talking aabout, including a vote of no confidence in prime minister johnson. liz? liz: amy kellogg in london. thank you so much. back home here we're watching markets. markets are taking this in stride. that tariffs on china are kicking in on sunday. china at the same time, sending fresh troops into hong kong, what it is calling a routine rotation. many see this as a move by china to stop hong kong's upcoming citywide pro-democracy protests. bring in apple metro chair, ceo zane tankel to break this down. first on china. you do a lot of business in china.
6:22 pm
taking what is going on there? >> my take is, that it is, no one start as trade war without thinking they're going to win. we began it. they're responding. reminds me, liz a lot, i don't know, saudis in yemen. they should have won the war in 24 hours. here they are four years later with the best air force, best mechanic anythings, best everything. they are still at war. we embarked on this trade war with the chinese. the chinese are responding in a way that we can't really figure out. so my best analogy i can give you, liz, this is a chess match, not a checkers game. liz: interesting. i want to move on to the recession obsession. word, i'm seeing this word coming in right now. democrat party will really go after president trump to stop his re-election by attacking his stewardship of the economy. okay, let's go through the pros and cons of this debate. the pros, that the pro-debate, that there is a recession, we're seeing car sales down.
6:23 pm
we're seeing home sales not so great. we're seeing yield curve. all of that is global recession indicator. the debate that there will not be a recession is 2% gdp growth. we're seeing that coming in. new data coming in, that job satisfaction is at a two-decade high. also we have consumer confidence above the long-term average. jobless rate at 50-year low. democrats will try to stop trump from getting reelected by attacking the economy. do you see recession coming? >> here is what i see, liz? i talk to people on the street. i talk to the people in our restaurants. i was in puerto rico last week. i'm a director of a company there. what i see is the longer we keep talking recession, the more likelihood we conceivably could enter a recession because the guy on the street doesn't understand the date that that you're referring to. the guy on the street doesn't understand metrics and indicators, the indices, or
6:24 pm
indexes. liz: indices. >> i want to be correct. indices. they don't understand that. they keep hering recession, recession. makes them pulling their horns in a little bit. we'll get a trade deal. i'm not a diplomat, far from it. anyone knows me tells you i'm last guy should be one. i'm picking top five things are critical. so, went to wharton school of business. here is what i learned about negotiating. if both people leave the table unhappy, it is probably a fair deal. if one dominates, the other one got screwed. or vice versa. so, we're not going to be happy. we better be resolved to that. president has to get resolved to that. we're not getting them all. let's pick the top two. if that happens, recession is something that is so far in the rear view mirror, that nobody is even going to remember it was mentioned. liz: yield curve is distorted. i hate to be wonky, big one
6:25 pm
media, people citing. central banks around the world are driving yields down, going into negative interest territory. buying long note. 10-year note. pension funds by the long note. china buys the long note. >> sure. liz: that yield has been suppressed going south for some time. when you have countries going into negative rate territory, people look for to us buy our rates. 10-year note. >> exactly. liz: not even recession indicator anymore. fed officials say that too. zane, final word. >> it's a good indicator for the sense, for reasons you just said. everybody is flocking here to buy our paper. would i say that is positive, isn't it? liz: zane, you are terrific of come back soon. >> thank you, liz. liz: we have our eyes on several stories tonight. the new school year is about to begin. health officials now urging parents to vaccinate their kids. notably for measles, to stop measles outbreaks. some states like new york have enacted laws eliminating religious grounds for not

6:33 pm
>> donald trump's loan documents there, show, that he has cosigners, that is how he was able to obtain those loans. and that the cosigners, are russian oligarchs. >> what? liz: clarification, that was two nights ago. here is o'donnell last night walking it back. >> last night on this show i discussed information that wasn't ready for reporting. i repeated statement as single source told me about the president's finances and loan documents. i should not have said it on air or posted it on twitter. i was wrong to do so. we are retracting the story. liz: joining me the heritage foundation hans van sposky. >> i'm sure the nb. c lawyers had heart palpitations. lawyers sent him a letter we'll
6:34 pm
see you. these documents are recorded. simple investigation would have shown it isn't true, russian oligarchs did not cosign the loan. liz: what if the lawyers, as the president's lawyers did not send the letter threatening legal action? what if that didn't happen? >> well then i think o'donnell probably would not have backed down, although obviously he needed to because he was coming out with a false story. and that is certainly why he did it so quickly and so fast because of the defamation threat. liz: what is and what is verification process at msnbc that you can go on the air with that? >> well there obviously isn't one. look, it is very clear they didn't meet the most minimal standards for investigating a report like that. actually they could have met very high standards public figures have, when they are
6:35 pm
suing for defamation. they have to show that someone demonstrated reckless disregard for the truth. not doing the most basic investigation shows they didn't do that. >> cnn seems to think that deutsche bank is purposely slow rolling the release of the president's tax returns. let's watch this sound bite. >> why are they slow rolling it? why would deutsche bank slow roll the information. >> they are looking at their own interests. they are accused of money laundering. they are protecting their interests. liz: are they forgetting deutch can't release the information because the president and his bank sued to block that, suing capital one, saying you can't release information? don't banks have confidentiality agreements with their clients? they can't just release information? >> they're disregarding the fact that deutsche bank, other companies are caught in a legal battle between congress and the president. the president's lawyers have
6:36 pm
bonn to court to squash these subpoenas and saying that congress does not have a legitimate legislative purpose in issuing them. liz: thank you, hans. finish your point. >> clearly deutsche bank is trying to follow the law. that is what they're doing here. liz: media not happy they're following the law. hans, thank you so much. coming up the fight between dhs and house oversight democrats blocked visiting 11 border facilities. border patrol said they disrupted operations, were rude. house oversight chair elijah cummings firing off a letter disputing all of that. first, democratic officials, hey, democrat national committee. you're making exact same mistake hillary clinton did. that fire engine red alarm bell is dnc hearing it? the trump campaign is hearing it. they're carpet bombing key battleground states. that is a direct quote from a democrat official. that story next.

6:42 pm
$8.5 million. rnc raised 20.7. you look at their ununified message. there are way too many candidates. the dnc can't get behind one, there are so many of them. they have a lot of issues going on with the dnc and with the democrat party. liz: president one these states, pennsylvania, michigan, didn't vote for republicans since 1988. wisconsin since 1984. i want to get to what judge deneen pirro said about president warren or president sanders. watch this. >> they're convinced in the end rich will pay for it. this guy can't do basic math which is no surprise since you never had a real job. they can't possibly pay for any of this stuff. the bottom line with bernie sanders is, that there is no such thing as democrat socialism, unless it is just socialism for the democrats. maybe they will buy into it, but america is not. liz: talking about president
6:43 pm
sanders. to judge janine's point, $60 trillion for cost of his plan to overhaul the entire u.s. economy. do voters want a president warren or president sanders, deneen? >> no, that is just outrageous. what sanders wants to do is raise taxes on hard-working americans. what americans are seeing is more money in their wallets, from the tax cuts and roll back in regulations. so they're seeing bonuses. they're seeing wage growth. what sanders wants to do, turn all of that around. that is not good for hard-working americans. liz: criticism, getting back to the dnc, democrats focused on expanding their base, not targeting voters they need in the swing states. it is astonishing what is going on right now. they're putting up candidates, who say we will win white house, raise everybody taxes, overhauling entire u.s. economy, "green new deal," free tuition, break up tech companies, banks,

the problem. we can make sure it is open. if you go to interrupt what is happening, when you become the distraction, you become the problem. that is over the long. they took steps at this point saying we'll not have this. liz: that was republican doug collins on the dhs barring democrat staffers from house oversight, visiting 11 border facilities, saying the reason that they're blocked is because they're rude and disruptive, disrupting our operations down there. bring in texas republican brian babin. congressman, your reaction to this? >> my reaction is they're rude, disruptive, i think the cpb commissioner did the right thing. i believe that he, barring those folks coming back, those staffers refused to leave, that wanted to interview children, that they didn't have permission to do so, and then not being respectful, following the rules of border patrol, i think they deserve not to come back. liz: elijah cummings, fired off
6:50 pm
a letter, you, border patrol are trying to block oversight. shoddy treatment of children, poor contractors, rotten food, not enough diapers, blankets and clothes. you're reaction? >> my reaction this is more political theater. they're trying to grandstand down on the border. i think doug collins was right on the money. these staffers, these people, from the oversight committee on democrat side are becoming the story themselves. i think that is what they're trying to do. instead of trying to cooperate, reach across the aisle, do something about this real crisis, this most destructive crisis on our border, where you have essentially 100,000 people a month coming in. some good things have happened though. if we'll talk about that here in just a second. liz: to your point, the president is getting the wall built. i think 52 miles out of 500 miles planned. can he get it done? can he get even more built? >> absolutely.
6:51 pm
i think the president can get this thing done. i agree with him 100%. barrier protection works. most certainly does. the good things happening is cooperation with mexico that we're getting, which has kept 39,000 illegal aliens inside of mexico that would have ordinarily been inside under, detainment or released into the interior of the united states. that has happened because of mexican cooperation. it is unprecedented. we also have the really, a game changer. is the, new flores regulation where we can detain family units, not separate them, but keep them in detainment until they have their immigration hearings. that is a huge thing, that ought to really relieve the problems we have down on the border. liz: congressman, quick reaction to the dojig report, stringing rebuke of james comey. your quick thought there?
6:52 pm
>> i can just tell you that i agree with that, 100%. i think mr. comey is proven to be a leaker. he hasn't told the truth. and i think it is, it is high time that we realize what's going on there. liz: congressman -- >> i agree with the ig. liz: congressman brian babin. thank for joining us. appreciate it. >> thank you, liz. good to be with you. liz: thank you so much, coming up we dig more into the i.g. report from james comey. he routinely hid information from the president about the steele dossier shoddy credibility, how the democrats paid for it. the i.g. didn't have a chance to get into it but we'll debate it. the debate over cnn whether it will report on newly hired analyst, director andrew mccabe facing possible indictment. we have darrell issa joining us next. stay there. >> andrew mccabe made a fool out of himself, what he was trying to do was terrible. he was caught, i'm very proud to

should always be working harder.oney that's why, your cash automatically goes into a money market fund when you open a new account. just another reminder of the value you'll find at fidelity. open an account today. >> they had just hired the alleged architect of a no conspiracy against trump campaign how much time and attention do you think the give the horowitz report when the higher the guy that horowitz investigated. liz: that was lindsey graham talking about former deputy
6:57 pm
instructor andrew mccabe. matthew whitaker believed andrew mccabe i be indicted on federal charges soon and andrew mccabe's attorneys that with the o'day officials. >> defense lawyers is usually with 70s would be charged, they tried to get to the deputy attorney general and plead their case. liz: joining me now former house oversight committee chair. what do you think star? will he be indicted? >> he would be the first high-ranking department indicted for lying to the department of justice. but it is long overdue. we've had people in other parts of the executive branch, congress, private citizens repeatedly be charged and convicted, not of an underlying crime but in fact of a false statement to the investigators. that is exactly what andrew mccabe did systematically and
6:58 pm
repeatedly even after he was given a chance to come with the truth he then lied to more claiming he was authorized to do some of these things. liz: go ahead to your point. >> that the unusual situation. you have a repeat liar who was also part of an attempt to before, during and after the election to undo the president's legitimacy but that is not what he will be tried for, and be tried for lying to the officials and it's exactly what other people face. citizens say he won't face in all likelihood and enter mccabe will face. >> martha stewart oliver. liz: former assistant andrew mccarthy said this about mccabe, the former deputy director, fbi, clinton, trump now he seeks clemency to get back his job. that is another takedown of enter mccabe. your quick thought on the
6:59 pm
department of justice on comey. >> it is never going to be the indictment that we want for comey for being part of the vast conspiracy if you will to undo the result of an election. what it is is a recognition that it was people doing wrong whether or not he's currently charge, people doing things wrong that ultimately vindicate the president for saying there should've been a special counsel, mueller entire investigation was propagated by the actions, wrongful actions that are laid out in the inspector general report. i think it's a second vindication of the president and ultimately we now have somebody that can say we had all this -- all these problems that the bullet report in the last two years, we had them because of this man's actions even infected bees not charge.
7:00 pm
liz: thank you so much. come back soon we love having you on. and thank you for having us in your homes and think of for watching. lou dobbs is next on the fox business network. have a good evening. >> good evening everybody, the republic is in some trouble. our nation former top law enforcement officer disgraced, fired fbi director james comey escaping prosecution despite violating fbi rules, leaking documents and being something less than candid. as it is preciously put at what is now the scandal written fbi. today the release of a long report from an fbi inspector general michael horovitz for separate addition about his handling of classified memos turning out to
