"the evening edit" starts right now. ♪ elizabeth: welcome to the show. you are watching the fox business network. protests breaking out greeting president trump's two-day fund raising visit in california including the inflatable baby trump balloon. the president stumping for money, including a fundraiser held at the mansion of scott mcnealy, a co founder of sun microsystems. with the latest now is edward lawrence. edward? >> yeah, i can tell you, late this afternoon, the administration finalizing a rule that would stop states from setting their own vehicle emissions standards. the obama administration allowed

california to set its own standards, where the president is, and last july four automakers signed a deal with -- signed an agreement with california to set tougher standards. well, today at the antitrust hearing on capitol hill, the head of the justice department antitrust division defended questions from senator amy klobuchar that there was no coordination with agencies about the timing of their announcement. also the department of justice requested documents related to the meeting between california and the carmakers to see if it rises to the level of antitrust violations. >> why would you be focusing resources on this? >> there's nothing wrong with these companies individually to announce, you know, higher emission standards if they wanted to. there may not be anything wrong with them agreeing with the state to do so. in fact, there might be certain immunities, like state action doctrine to do so. they cannot cooperate amongst themselves. >> president donald trump in

california right now for a series of fund-raisers. he's on his way to los angeles for two more as we speak. now, the large protests that some say would happen, the protesters have been in groups of a dozen or so protesting along the route. still the white house now focused today or tonight on the attack of the saudi oil infrastructure. but the u.s. will not 100% pin it on iran. listen. >> we don't have any announcement yet. if we are going to make that declaration, he wants to be ironclad in the evidence and he wants to make the case to congress and the american people just who is at fault here. >> despite mounting evidence that the attack was launched from iran, iranian leaders continue to deny it. president trump hasn't ruled out meeting with the iranian leader next week at the united nations general assembly. media in iran says their government officials will not meet with the u.s. finally the president suggests that any retaliation will be proportional and in coordination with saudi arabia. liz? elizabeth: edward, thank you very much.

we're also tracking news coming in, reports coming in that there could be protests at scott mcnealy's mansion. he's one of the co founders of sun microsystems. president trump is attending a fundraiser there. we will track that story for you. to the attack on saudi oil facilities that knocked out half its production and hit oil prices. but oil dropping 5% in trading today as saudi arabia now says its oil production is rapidly returning to pre-attack levels. saudi arabia calling on the u.n. to investigate the attacks. the u.n. general assembly kicking off today. this as secretary of state mike pompeo is headed to saudi arabia to talk about the response. retired four star general jack keane went through the options with us last night. >> this administration will try to politically, economically, and diplomatically isolate the iranians. once we have all the evidence, go in there ourselves as one of the five members, bring the saudis in, as a guest, and together make a presentation on

how the iranians are complicit in this attack. and get major international community support to counter the iranians and support the united states and our allies which is in support of a stable world economy. elizabeth: joining me now is former delta force member. great to see you. bret, iran says it was yemen -- that yemen did it in retaliation for saudi arabia's five year war against it but this was a professional hit job. it broke through a blind spot in saudi arabia's air defenses. >> exactly. and it was a well-executed operation, quite frankly. both drones and cruise missiles apparently were used here. although we don't have the full analysis yet. but it would suggest that if that was the case, that they were fired from multiple locations. any system in the world has a difficult time being able to stop that. the patriot missile system which is what the saudis have have had

difficulty looking at low altitude. they are focused primarily on ballistic missiles. drones also fly at very very low levels. so a new system i think is needed with layers that incorporate basically counterdrone technology system to be able to stop future attacks like this and protect critical infrastructure and protect this global energy market that's at stake here when the iranians are conducting these strikes. elizabeth: fox news is reporting that the attack came from southwest iran. the oil facilities that were attacked are located across the persian gulf. it's an area according to fox news where saudi forces had largely not protected with -- was not protected with its air defense systems. brett, if it originated in iran, that is an act of war. here's general jack keane talking to us about how this happened. watch this. >> the saudi air defense system here from all accounts failed miserably, and they've got to stitch together in terms of an autopsy what happened, why did it happen, and what kind of a

assistance do they need in terms of target acquisition, better command-and-control, air defense missiles themselves, that they may not have now, and that is something that's got to be done rather quickly because the iranians obviously have the means to conduct a second attack and get the same kind of results, given the disposition of the defense systems. that's a major issue that's got to be solved. elizabeth: a second attack. he's warning about a second attack. your response? >> well, look, i mean, they have been attacking through their proxy groups for a while now. the houthis has basically been acting as iran and conducting these strikes but again i think this latest strike if it is determined that it came from iranian soil represents a very serious change to their calculus. it represents a serious escalation in what they are doing here, and unfortunately, iran keeps getting away with it, keep being left unchecked. that emboldens them. we're doing nothing in response to their aggressive action, and

they are going to continue to do it. i always believed that right after they conducted a missile strike that ended up hitting -- taking down one of our drones that we set a red line there. they shot down one of the most sophisticated military assets we have. they are going to continue to conduct attacks. what can justify them when they are doing something at that level and we are essentially doing nothing in return? one of the biggest things we need to do is fortify a lot of critical infrastructure to protect this global economy. elizabeth: the president is exhibiting restraint. critics and supporters say he's taking a wait and see approach. he's not going to move until he has all the information. brett, thank you very much. appreciate it. >> thanks, liz. elizabeth: let's move on. we've got oil prices, could go much higher if there is a military escalation. with me now is the gartman

letter editor and ceo dennis gartman. great to see you. >> liz, great to be seen. thank you. elizabeth: what's your reaction to this story? >> well, whether it's the iranians who did it or whether it's the houthi who did it or whether it's the houthi using iranian equipment that did it, the fact that it's been done, the odds are there will be more to happen. this is not the last attack as the previous guest had said. the houthi had been sending drones through the past several months. this was just the largest escalation. and the fact that they have gotten away with it without anybody doing anything at all means there will be more. again, whether it's the iranians who made the attack, which would be an act of war, or it's the houthi, makes no difference. the fact is the crude oil supply has been greatly eliminated or greatly de-limited, and when i hear people tell me the saudis will have this back on-line in a short period of time, i find that to be quite funny actually, quite comical.

that's not true. elizabeth: why? you don't think it is true, okay. you don't believe them. >> the damage -- i don't believe them. the damage that's been done has been very serious, and you have to remember, the saudis have an ipo that they wish to get accomplished with saudi ramco and they will try to do everything they can to put the best light possible on this, but if you see the pictures that have come out of there, there's been devastation. liz: i hear you. let's turn to stateside. let's take a listen to what the 2020 democrats are planning for the u.s. energy sector. let's roll tape. watch what the 2020 democrats want. >> i'm very proud to have introduced the most comprehensive and aggressive climate change legislation away from fossil fuel to energy efficiency. >> fossil fuel corporations have bought our government. >> we have this singular opportunity -- ten years to make

sure that we free ourselves from a dependence on fossil fuels. >> i guarantee you, i guarantee you, we're going to end fossil fuel. liz: okay. your reaction to that? [laughter] >> well, after one stops laughing, it is comical to hear people talk about the fact that we're going to do away with -- ban fossil fuels. that's not going happen in my lifetime. that's not going to happen in my daughter's lifetime. that's not going to happen in the next hundred years. fossil fuels are still, what, 95% of the fuel capabilities here in the united states. yes, we're making advances on solar. yes, we're making advances on wind, but we have completely aborted the use of nuclear energy which we should be focusing on. fossil fuels will be with us for a long time. liz: hang on, dennis, there's a bigger geopolitical thing that's happening with the u.s. energy boom. it tips the balance away from a wider mideast war that would involve the u.s. because the u.s. has its own oil boom. it means we're not so dependent

on foreign oil. that always has in the past hit u.s. stocks really hard when there were sudden shocks. now that correlation has pretty much been obliterated. it also protects u.s. economic growth because domestic oil boom capital investment creates jobs. plus we don't have to overreact every time there's a drawdown in the u.s. reserves. it is the net exporter, swing producer, powerful position. the 2020 democrats critics say have it wrong. >> the 2020 democrats indeed have it wrong. they will try to do away with fracking. if it wasn't for fracking and for horizontal drilling, wewoul. we are a net exporter. it is amazing what has happened. we have gone from producing 8 million barrels in the united states to producing 12 1/2 million barrels. next year we will probably produce 13 1/2 million barrels. we have become a net exporter.

it is an amazing change. the average american is not aware of that fact or aware of what's happened in the last five years for lack of a better term. liz: great to see you. next up, we're talking about the israeli election, prime minister benjamin netanyahu fighting tooth and nail for his political life. we will take you to tel aviv for the very latest. the new york times engulfed in chaos over its botched story on supreme court justice brett kavanaugh. critics say the new york times misinformed once again as progressive squad member presley introduces a new resolution to try to get impeachment against justice kavanaugh. democrats saying that ain't going anywhere. that story coming up. g actor, i need all the breaks that i can get. at liberty butchemel... cut. liberty mu... line? cut. liberty mutual customizes your car insurance so you only pay for what you need. cut. liberty m... am i allowed to riff?

order to govern in israel. looking at the numbers, his likud party does come out on top in one of the polls. the other two polls extremely close in israel. these polls are conducted by local television stations here and are generally pretty accurate. the king-maker here in all of this is the former defense secretary for prime minister benjamin netanyahu and actually a long-term rival of the prime minister. in this race that is largely netanyahu versus gantz of the blue and white party. liberman will be able to break the tie. he's got anywhere from 8 to 10 seats. this will allow him to basically choose who is going to be the next prime minister of israel. the way the system works here is the nod will be given to gantz or netanyahu after speaking with the smaller parties this week as who could form a coalition. that candidate will be given 28 days to form a coalition.

if neither is able to do so, israel may be facing a third round of elections this year. liz? liz: trey, thank you very much. with us now the former mayor of shiloh, jerusalem, david ruben. great to see you, sir. what does this mean, whichever way this goes? can you break this down for us? >> sure, sure, certainly. well, first of all, as was described, it is too close to call right now. there are several factors here at play. first thing is liberman. as said, he is the king-maker. he's the one that holds the balance of power. he is insisting on what they call a unity government, which would be a combination of the two largest left and right parties, along with liberman. and that would give an easy majority to whoever would be the prime minister. could be netanyahu. it could be gantz. the problem with that is that it's a very untenable coalition,

very unwieldly. there would likely be a lot of fighting, and he's insisting on not allowing any of the religious parties to be in the government, even though they are a substantial part of the israeli population. so if they are not allowed to be in the government, then there's going to be social tension in israel as a whole. liz: mayor, you know, there would be concern that israel's coalition government would be fragile and on shaky ground given what's going on with the drone -- thought to be cruise missile strikes against saudi's oil production. we also know iran is a sworn enemy of israel. things are pretty complicated here. >> things are very complicated. and that's why a unity government, if it's for the purpose of focusing on confronting iran, well, that

could be a positive thing. but in terms of israel as a whole and the social situation and religious versus secular, it's very unnerving to have such a coalition. the other problem is that if gantz forms a coalition on his own, then he's probably going to include the coalition of arab parties who are sworn enemies of the state of israel, supporters of the hamas terrorist organization. this is the only way that gantz who is the left of center candidate prime minister that is the only way he can form a coalition on his own is if he includes those 13 or so members of those arab parties who are hostile to the state of israel. liz: mayor rubin, thank you very much for your insight. we will stay on that developing story. we have our eyes on several other stories for you tonight. a california patient now the seventh person to die from that

>> i called for the resignation of everybody at the "new york times" involved. long live the "new york times" and i do want it to live, but they have to be -- they have to change their ways. liz: president trump firing back on the new york times that's now engulfed in chaos over its correction of a so-called bombshell that wasn't on supreme court justice kavanaugh. the story hid exonerating information from readers about a sexual misconduct allegation. the new york times ended up misleading its readers this as senate investigators on the republican side now calling out the times also saying it botched the reporting. joining me now is republican strategist and civic foreign pac chair. squad member ayanna presley pushing for a resolution to

impeach justice kavanaugh. dick durbin and other democrats saying no we're not going to do that. your take on this? >> it's absolutely ridiculous. ms. presley is obviously trying to push and fire up the base. here's the problem with the entire new york times story. when the alleged victim doesn't remember the incident and the sole source for the accusation refuses to talk, you have gossip. the fact the democrats want to bring up impeachment because of gossip is absolutely insane. liz: vanity fair is reporting that it was so shady that the new york times news section refused to publish it in their news section. it was buried in the paper's opinion section. i want to turn to this. the reporters on the story, went on msnbc last night with larry o'donnell. they are blaming the editors for cutting key details about the victim not remembering the assault. they're blaming the editors for keeping that out.

reporters routinely see the final draft. watch this. >> in your draft of the article, did it include those words that have since been added to the article? >> it did. >> it did so somewhere in in the editing process those words -- >> i think what happened actually, you know, we had her name. the times doesn't usually include the name of the victim. i think in this case the editors felt like maybe it was better to remove it. in removing her name, they removed to the other reference to the fact that she didn't remember. liz: why didn't lawrence o'donnell ask these reporters if they read the final draft before it went to print? reporters routinely read final drafts before they go to print in news operations. >> it's kind of amazing that the reporters themselves are trying to throw the editors under the bus. it appears here that the new york times knew they didn't have anything to begin with. that's why they put it in the editorial section rather than the news section. what they were hoping for it

would gain some traction and become a news story. this is another situation where they are trying to pull the wool over the eyes of the american public, turn gossip into news and hope that it goes from there. and look, we know what this has always been about. yes, the new york times like to sell the books of its reporters but the bottom line is a lot of folks in newsrooms across this country are liberal and they want to protect roe v. wade and any time there's a new republican judge in court, they feel they can break all sorts of rules, lie, push stories to make sure they protect roe v. wade. liz: anyone who read that story was misinformed if they didn't read the correction afterward. that includes a 2020 democrats calling for kavanaugh's impeachment. that's what critics are saying. here's msnbc going after kamala harris. remember she got her footing on the national stage during the kavanaugh hearings. watch this. >> the new york times essay the baffling essay, the baffling

editing process they put forward because if you believe the alleged victim in the alleged incident, the alleged victim in the alleged incident doesn't ever remember the alleged incident occurring, so if kamala harris is believing the quote victim, the alleged victim, the alleged victim says i don't ever remember that happening. so again, for a lawyer, i'm -- i'm confused. liz: your quick reaction for us? >> look, joe scarborough has a great point here. harris is not only a lawyer but form attorney general, she couldn't wait 24 hours. she's not the only who made the mistake. elizabeth warren -- they don't care about the law. they want to win the nomination. liz: great to see you. come back soon. coming up, president trump rails against the democrats for their open border policies at

that report from mr. horowitz just a few weeks ago was the fact that the january 6th, 2017 trump tower meeting, when it was president elect trump, they went up there trying to set up the president, trying to tap the president, all while they were telling the president he wasn't under investigation. liz: but, robert, doj ig horowitz, jerry nadler and the democrats are not calling him in to testify. your take? >> well, that's a shame. this is really serious, liz. you know, when the head of the fbi basically engages in a covert operation to try to entrap the president elect of the united states, that is really serious business. you know, we're not that kind of country. and that should not have happened. and inspector general horowitz, wrote a very damming report, and the american people should hear from him. and this is really -- this is a real shame an hope more of this comes out. -- and i hope more of this comes

out. liz: we keep hearing from former federal law enforcement officials that this is worse waterga watergate. a criminal referral on james comey was sent to the doj. the ig has found him insubordinate that his actions were extraordinary and unacceptable that he broke the rules, but here's the news coming in, james comey is saying today that he keeps saying -- he's saying quote i keep see i'm going to be indicted. i'm highly confident that i'm not going to be indicted. i don't think there is going to be a finding of significant misconduct. your reaction to that? >> well, i think the finding has already been made, that he absolutely engaged in misconduct. there's almost no one in the united states who believes that director comey acted in good faith and followed all the rules and did all the things a good director would do. he has left the fbi, one of the premier -- the premier law enforcement investigative agency in the world in tatters, and his

own reputation is bad enough as it is now, but unfortunately, he's done serious harm to our revered institution, the fbi. liz: let's back up. james comey signed off on three of the four fisa warrants. the fisa court is meant to be used against foreign governments. it's not supposed to be used against an opposition, domestic campaign, for presidency. those warrants are very powerful. they can hit many devices. they are more powerful than regular criminal wiretaps. it is a wider net. what was the proof that james comey and the obama administration used to justify a powerful fisa spying warrant on people like carter page? i mean if carter page is not shown to be an agent of a foreign government and they didn't have any proof of that, then they are in big trouble. final word? >> i agree, liz. it is very troubling, as you say, these warrants, they are very secretive, and the judges

rely on the good faith and the honesty of the prosecutors to present only credible evidence, and the fact that this was going on and they were using these really fly-by night incredible sources is really really a problem and should not be done and puts a whole system in jeopardy here because we need something like fisa, but when it's abused like it apparently was, it's a real problem. liz: robert, thank you very much for joining us, sir. coming up, the battle over funding the border wall is about to get real. we've got texas attorney general ken paxton about this up coming fight. stay there. all money managers might seem the same, but some give their clients cookie cutter portfolios. fisher investments tailors portfolios to your goals and needs. some only call when they have something to sell. fisher calls regularly so you stay informed. and while some advisors are happy to earn commissions whether you do well or not. fisher investments fees are structured so we do better when you do better.

liz: let's welcome to the show gdp advisors healthcare expert. seth, great to see you. this labor union fight with general motors, the uaw versus gm. it blows up the 2020 democrats single payer plans about government run healthcare. the unions hate that. >> they do indeed. this flies in the face of what they have been negotiating for and successfully negotiating for for years. democrats are kind of painting of themselves to a corner here because they rely on the base, but if their plan goes through, ultimately it is their base that would suffer. liz: to win the white house, you

have to win michigan and the manufacturing and auto producing states to get into the white house. but autoworkers are worried about a single payer. here's a gm worker telling the detroit news quote it scares me that some democratic candidates don't know working class people and what they are about. my fear is they will lose votes from working class families who are union, government run healthcare is not the way to do it. there needs to be government involvement, but there also needs to be a free market. they don't like it, seth. >> they don't indeed because they know that the government can't provide for them what they already have through their current contract. and so when you talk about potential rationing of care. when you talk about the loss of opportunity to pick your own doctor and choose your own plan, the union members themselves don't want this. they've got a better deal going with what they have got now. liz: you know, i mean, here's the thing, what the democrats don't understand and this is what we're hearing, the reason

why car makers and businesses like gm are silent about single payer because they know it would cut their business costs dramatically by putting everybody on the government. it would be the taxpayers pay for it even though it would be their own workers paying for it. i mean health insurance is a go-to point of -- a go-to point of contention for car workers. they have tough demanding jobs physically. that's the thing. do people understand that that's what is going on here? >> i don't know that they do. i think there's a lot of moving parts to this. and gm has multiple reasons by which they are probably staying silent, not to mention the fact that they probably don't want to give the union heads another reason to come after them for more wages. but there's a lot of moving parts and all these things need to be focused on as we start to think about what's really going on behind the scenes. liz: final point, when will the democrats debate jobs and the economy? where are those debates? >> i don't know. i'm ready to hear them. i think we need to have that

conversation, very quickly. liz: seth, great to see you. sorry we ran out of time. would love to have you back. next up, president obama's attorney general is quick to defend the obama administration over its massive deportation policies, but they are also quick to give it back to the 2020 democrats, saying you're wrong. we do have to have strong borders. that's eric holder saying that. that's coming up next. ..

because of smoking. but we still had to have a cigarette. had to. but then, we were like. what are we doing? the nicodermcq patch helps prevent your urge to smoke all day. nicodermcq. you know why, we know how. but allstate actually helps you drive safely... with drivewise. it lets you know when you go too fast... ...and brake too hard. with feedback to help you drive safer. giving you the power to actually lower your cost.

unfortunately, it can't do anything about that. now that you know the truth... are you in good hands?

liz: president trump at his rally in new mexico last night focusing on strong border security and criticized california. he said he should move their border wall to new mexico. president trump: i knew that was going to happen. i told my people that was going to happen. but they are very happy with their wall. most of of them won't say it. they love it. it only stopped 99.9% of the people coming in. tech as attorney general ken paxton joins us on the phone. the senate is about to take up the fight over the president's border wall funding using pentagon funds. that will happen this week.

democrats will push to block it. >> we have been having this fight for all the years of the presidency of donald trump. it make it challenging to get the federal legislation through, even when it's related to defense spending. liz: i want your reaction to former attorney general eric holder. he's joining tulsi gabbard and others saying stop with your open borders position. the u.s. has to have borders. >> people who had criminal record and posed a danger, a public safety risk. those were the people we emphasized as deporting. democrats have to understand that we do have to have borders, they mean something. liz: your reaction? >> it seems like common sense

and i'm glad to hear eric holder say that. under the obama administration they had more deportations than we have had in the trump administration. i certainly agree with him and i hope other democrats will take it to heart. this affects all of us. it's not a democrat-republican issue. allen clemmons wrote an op-ed saying there is a different way to think about the border patrol and they are doing a quote humanitarian mission. they are work on clothing, feeding and caring for people in dire straits. what's your take? >> i have been on the border many times and there is no doubt the border patrol has a huge responsibility crossing the border. and they are also taking care of children while they are here. you don't see those stories. it's all get rid of i.c.e.

get rid of the border patrol. they are aillusive and horrible. that's what the media has been reporting. >> i'm not surprised the media doesn't report the good stories about what i.c.e. and some of our border patrol are doing on the border. liz: when you go down there, what do you see in the facilities happening? >> i see a lot of people both federally and state and local people charged with this immense responsibility. liz: we had alexandria ocasio-cortez going there, we had teams from elijah cummings office going down there saying people are being abused at the border. >> i don't think that's accurate. certainly they are in a dissuasion down there. the numbers have been so large and hard to deal with. but i think they are doing the best they can given the

resources they have. liz: ken paxton, thank you for joining us. lou dobbs is next right here on the fox business network. [♪] lou: good he can. the house judiciary committee officially opened their effort to overthrow the president of the united states. the dems spending more than five hours questioning and berating former trump campaign manager corey lewandowski. the hearing featured lewandowski and the radical dems behaved like farcical hilarious clowns. they abused their witnesses as well as their office and the public trust. for the latest on today's hearings we turn to catherine herridge in
