6:02 pm
replaced. mccabe undercutting the doj ig and a big fight and the hearing in congress over the fisa probe report you won't believe which top democrat is now trying to undercut that. basically saying that there's no problem with using u.s. intelligence to spy on an opposition campaign. thanks for joining us i'm elizabeth macdonald, the evening edit starts right now. welcome to the show you're watching the fox business network. let's begin with president trump today with news on the trade war with china, and the showdown with iran while meeting with the australian prime minister. blake burman has the latest from the white house. blake? >> just a couple hours ago at the white house president trump was set to meet with his national security team on iran, as potential military strike options were expected to be updated. the briefing comes as the
6:03 pm
president, and the treasury secretary this morning, unveiled new sanctions against iran, targeting the country's central bank and its national development fund. the president says iran is spiraling into financial distress. president trump: it's too bad what's happening with iran. it's going to hell, doing poorly they are practically broke. they are broke. >> earlier this week the secretary of state not only blamed iran for the oil attacks in saudi arabia but also described it as an act of war. the commander-in-chief has yet to rule out potential military strikes but also noted earlier today that there is "plenty of time in dealing with iran." for now the response is coming through sanctions. the president was asked what happened if the new batch doesn't work. president trump: these are the strongest sanctions ever put on a country. we are at a level of sanction that is far greater than ever before with respect to iran. today we did central bank as you
6:04 pm
know, and we'll see. we'll see. they are having a lot of problems not only with us having problems within their own country. >> the president also shot down the possibility of a short-term or an interim trade deal saying earlier today that he wants a complete deal. back to you. liz: thank you, blake burman at the white house. earlier today the president was asked about the whistleblower complaint whether he asked the ukraine government to look into joe biden's son during a phone call with the ukraine president. here is what the president said earlier today. watch. president trump: it doesn't matter what i discuss but i will say this. somebody ought to look into joe biden's statement because it was disgraceful where he talked about billions of dollars, but he's not giving to a certain country, unless a certain prosecutor is taken off the case so somebody should look into that and you wouldn't because he's a democrat and the fake news doesn't look into things like that. it's a disgrace, but i had a great conversation with numerous
6:05 pm
people i don't even know exactly who you are talking about. liz: joining me now is wall street journal editorial board member and fox news contributor. great to see you bill it's friday, right? the president denies soliciting foreign help. what's your take on this? >> first of all i'm old fashion and i'd like to see what the charge is. this is like so many other things. we have a vague accusation from officials involving classified information that we can't see, and then we're asked to weigh it , right? and we don't really know. i'd like to see what they say. the second thing is the substance of what the president said, i mean, i hope he wasn't asking the government to investigate someone to help him politically, but the fact was joe biden i believe led the obama administration's task force on corruption and he did target this prosecutor looking into a company that hired hunter biden. i don't know if they did anything illegal but there's certainly a conflict of interest >> critics are saying watch out
6:06 pm
how the media and the democrats frame this one. they are ready to go from 5 to impeachment in a split second. we have adam schiff talking about it and pelosi is talking about it but they were so wrong in russia collusion right? >> not only that. adam schiff constantly told us in russia he had seen evidence that was more than coincident coincidental, right? more than real evidence and of course it didn't come. now he's shouting ukraine so i think we should take this with a grain of salt and they are also having hearings on rudy guiliani 's outreach to the ukrainians. liz: but joe biden is silent so far about this. >> well i'm not sure that the hunter biden story helped joe biden. liz: right. let me back up. this means someone was listening in or got the transcripts and leaked whatever happened with the president's phone call and the question is how do you prove what people are now speculating? the other thing is the new york times and the washington post have called out joe biden's son,
6:07 pm
hunter and the vice president off this conflict of interest over hunter biden's work on being on the board of that you keynesian natural gas company. >> yeah, look i think that hunter biden is a troubled man, just reading the stuff from his divorce settlement and he had a naval point am as an officer and failed a drug test and he's got a lot of problems. look the president knew people are listening in, our intelligence people and this brings up another question. the president's calls are supposed to be confidential and the president doesn't trust the intelligence community, he has good reason. the one difference that there is in this is that the guy went to the inspector general. otherwise, it's the same pattern as all these vague leaks and stories. liz: here is the other thing going on the president's approval rating according to real clear politics average is better than president obama's was at this point in his term. here is president trump's personal attorney rudy giuliani on cnn last night contradicting
6:08 pm
himself. watch this. >> did you ask the ukraine to investigate joe biden? >> no. actually, i didn't. i asked the ukraine to investigate the allegations that there was interference in the election of 2016, by the ukrainians for the benefit of hillary clinton for which there already is -- you never asked anything about hunter biden, anything about joe biden? >> the only thing i asked about joe biden is to get to the bottom of how it was that appointed dismissed the case against -- >> so you did ask ukraine to look into joe biden? >> of course i did. >> you just said you didn't. liz: it's well known that rudy giuliani had been going into the ukraine but watch rudy giuliani really go after cnn. watch this. >> and i think your network is a horror to this country. >> that's fine. liz: your reaction to all of this? >> yeah, look the ukraine seems to car everyone who goes near it there are different governments
6:09 pm
doing different things. i'd like to see what's coming out. one way or the other we're going to know what the president said, because it's going to be leaked. i have doubts about inspector generals and so fourth, as the vehicle for this, but one way or the other we'll find out and i think we should reserve judgment until we know exactly what he said. liz: bill mcgurn great to see you. to your money stocks ending the week on a down note after the chinese trade delegation cut its trip to the u.s. short and they are now not going to the farm belt, gerri will it has more from the new york stock exchange gerri? gerri: liz, a rock and roll day in the markets, all three major averages end being in a negative for the day and the week, at the end of it all dow was down 160 points, s&p down 15, the nasdac down 65. we started out an a positive note but went negative after news that the china trade delegation was cut short and that news propelled the markets
6:10 pm
negatively and we never really came back from that. meanwhile, walmart today saying they will no longer sell e-cigs after several deaths point to vaping and they will sell-off the current inventories and stop selling the products. those shares are down marginally liz back to you. liz: thank you so much, gerri at the big board. a special programming note, plaquestone group founder and ceo joins maria bartiromo on her show wall street week tonight. here is a sneak peak. >> i don't think so. the u.s. has roughly 70% and maybe 72% in a consumer economy, we've got roughly around 11% in manufacturing. manufacturing is going down. there's no doubt about that. it's quite soft, but the consumer has the advantage of full employment the way we measure it and so now we're getting compensation for workers that are going up faster than
6:11 pm
inflation, and that's a good thing for workers. liz: you can see the full interview tonight on maria's show wall street at 9:00 p.m. eastern time on fox business. next up, millions of people across the globe took to the streets for climate change protest, i'm here to tell you which 2020 democrat now wants the federal government to go full bore and take over big sections of the energy sector. you probably guessed it right and later in the show, president trump ratcheting up, tightening the economic straight jacket on iran, sanctioning its national bank, going after the sovreign wets fund there, and he is prepared for a military option even if the administration prefers a peaceful solution. that story, next. 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.
6:12 pm
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. maybe that's why most of our clients come from other money managers. fisher investments. clearly better money management. frstill, we never stoppedss wmaking it stronger.e. faster. smarter. because to be the best, is to never ever stop making it better. the 2020 c-class family. lease the c 300 sedan for just $429 a month at your local mercedes-benz dealer. mercedes-benz. the best or nothing.

6:16 pm
dollar climate change plans, so now this. it's bernie sanders who wants the government to dominate the energy sector. watch this one. >> for the federal government to be a major major major producer of wind, solar and other sustainable energy, and then sell that out to utilities, some of them will be public utilities, my city has a public utility. some of them will be private, but where the federal government will play a much more active role is in the production of sustainable energy. liz: joining me now from chicago to take it up is look whose here , don luskin. don, climate change protest, it's great to see you. climate change protesters today are saying the fight for climate change is linked to get the u.s. to turn socialistic. it's a push for socialism in this country. that's what they are saying today. your take. well, it sounds to me like joe
6:17 pm
biden, excuse me, bernie sanders just confessed to that right? he wants the government to own the resources, to go into all of these alternative energy production facilities, and that's just literally the textbook definition of socialism so i'd say case closed on that one. liz: what would happen, what would happen in a sanders world if all this took place? by the way, annual u.s. carbon dioxide emissions are down at 1992 levels, and they started dropping under george w. bush. >> this is what happens as people get more and more efficient. it's not in anybody's advantage to have any kind of pollution, so there is a good profit motive to get as efficient as possible. you don't need these bureaucrats throwing public money, wasteful ly at uneconomic proposals like wind and solar. what you need to do is get government out of the way, let things like fourth generation nuclear take place.
6:18 pm
anybody who wants to be serious about climate change, let's say forget about the political position on the left or the right. let's say okay, i'm agnostic. maybe climate change is a problem i don't want to take the risk what's the solution? the solution is nuclear. that's the only green power proposal that can operate at a scale that'll make any difference so where the thought leaders like aoc on that one. liz: yeah, we're running out of time. carbon captures underway, companies are already responding trying to limit their use of plastic and the like. let's move on to the 2020 democrats. the new york times is saying that elizabeth warren has an electability problem with swing voters with working class voters they don't like her big government health insurance plan that would get rid of everyone's health insurance. they do not like her decriminalization of the border. your take. >> wait a second did you just say that the new york times says that elizabeth warren had an electability problem? are you saying the new york times actually said something that's true?
6:19 pm
i am absolutely shocked. liz: just being a reporter telling you what they said. what's your take on it? >> i love it. liz: so now taking incoming shots on joe biden, pete buttigieg, amy klobuchar, a hedge fund said that if warren wins, they will not open the stock market if they is the next president. your take? >> [laughter] well they won't have to open the stock market, because believe me , nobody will want to buy stock, man. i mean, it'll just simply be a shutdown. it'll shut down the economy, growth, investment, shut down business confidence and consumer confidence and by the way that's why she's completely unelectable let her run and lose and let the socialists learn. let the american public just reject that whole concept, bring it on. liz: critics are warning that elizabeth warren's policies would trap the entire u.s. economy inside her teacher
6:20 pm
's faculty lounge. that's what critics are saying. you go to her website under plans and she's got 43 links. let's watch mayor pete buttigieg go after the elizabeth warren. watch this? >> senator warren is known for being straightforward and was extremely evasive when asked that question, and we've seen that repeatedly. why you wouldn't just say so and explain why you think that's the better way forward. liz: so what he's talking about is elizabeth warren dodging the question on whether she would have to raise middle class taxes to pay for a big government plans, steve colbert she dodged that question from him and another reporter the next day asked her the same question she dodged that one. your take? >> she's not a professor. she's a lawyer and a litigator and lawyers are trained to do one thing. they are trained to bring out the facts that are helpful to their clients and the facts that are not helpful she's just a classic lawyer, and that rhymes with liar. liz: tough words there great to see you, sir come back soon.
6:21 pm
let's get to fox news for more on the climate change protests, brian? >> liz, well the new york city climate strike protest really ended about an hour ago but over 4 million people organizers say took part in over 1,000 climate strikes around the world and over 150 countries. here in new york, tens of thousands of people were in the streets today including thousands of kids who skipped school. new york city allowing kids to skip school with parental permission, joining on the protest and some like the new york post editorial board slammed the decision saying it was to school supporting a particular political point of view. nonetheless we spoke to high schoolers and others who say frankly, they are terrified as the planet is not going to be here when they get older. i think there is so much to be done, and i can't wait any more. we have maybe 12 years to act before climate change becomes
6:22 pm
irreversible and we need to start now as soon as possible. >> the climate strikes around the world are happening just three days before the u.n. climate action summit. now these climate strikes were happening all over the country from san francisco to michigan to indiana, chicago, all over the country. hundreds of events, but it also happened all over the world australia over 300,000 people took to the streets there the world's largest producer of coal , calling on the government to take immediate action there, and all of this was spearheaded really by a swedish girl named g reta, who came over to the united states and met with congress demonstrating weekly for over a year now, every friday, skipping school bringing attention to climate, to really bringing attention to climate change. she spoke at new york just about an hour ago. take a listen. >> we are united behind the science and we will do everything in our power to stop
6:23 pm
this crisis from getting worse, even if that means skipping school or work because this is more important. >> liz, back to you. liz: lower manhattan thank you for your reporting, sir. we have our eyes on several of the stories tonight. at least three people have been killed in those catastrophic floods in texas from hurricane a melda, another 500 stranded and they had to be rescued. the flooding is worse in some places there, than it was during hurricane harvey. as much as four feet of rain in some areas, officials warning residents to stay off the roads. it's expected to trench more of texas, louisiana and arkansas as it tracks north. separately, a record tying six tropical storms now swirling all at once in the atlantic and the pacific, and they are now category 2 storms in the atlantic basin so the new

liz: a new jersey man arrested charged with scouting out terror attack targets for hezbollah in new york. like the statue of liberty, times square, the empire state building and he's also accused of scouting out targets in boston and washington d.c. as well. here with the latest is fox news senior correspondent rick leventhal. rick? reporter: liz the feds say the suspect spent the past 20 years training and spying for hezbollah and then he was on autopilot surveiling potential targets and gathering intelligence at every opportunity and times square was on his list. according to the indictment the 42-year-old morristown new jersey resident, known as alex, or hachid, was a u.s. citizen
6:31 pm
working for hezbollah and an islamic terror organization. he faces nine counts related to terrorism and marriage fraud. the feds say he received weapons and bomb training and surveilled numerous landmarks for possible attacks including the statue of liberty, the united nations, the stock exchange, bridges, train stations and other locations in washington including the white house, and u.s. capitol and fenway park in boston. the criminal complaint alleges he focused on instruct architecture l weaknesses to determine how a future attack could cause the most destruction and maximize damage and how close in proximity one could get to a target and cite weaknesses or soft spots that the islamic jihad organization could exploit if it attacked a location in the future. charges include providing material support to a foreign terrorist organization, receiving military-type training

6:33 pm
ped significant historic sanctions on iran's national bank, they are really tightening on them. the president is saying that it's also because of their terror activities, watch this. president trump: we have just sanctioned the iranian national bank, that is their central banking system, and it's going to be at the highest level of sanctions, so that just took place at a couple of other things. this is very big. we've cutoff all sorts of funds to our end. president trump: right to the top. liz: are we going to see retaliation from iran on that? >> i think this was a miss calculation by the islamic republic of iran. they didn't expect the trump adminitration to go after the central bank of iran. this is big. this is the one we were advocat ing for two years ago that if we wanted to hurt the islamic republic you'd go out to the central bank of iran. this shuts down almost everything. this is big, this would actually
6:34 pm
hurt them in these negotiations with europe to try to find bypass mechanisms. the central bank was carved out of sanctions and now it is in and this is big and it's for terrorism so it's hard for a new democrat president like my colleague said, to undo these sanctions. these sanctions are with treasury, and based on terrorism activities and this is a big one this is bigger than a proportion strike against iran for the king of saudi arabia attacks. this hurts more than that joint attack on saudi arabia. liz: they need u.s. dollars to settle their oil trades. >> right. liz: critics blamed the president for pulling out of the 2015 iran deal and the senate never ratified it. final word? >> yeah, i mean if you listen to the words of senator schumer and menendez any future iran deal has to be a treaty, it has to be approved the senate so that another president can't tear it up. liz: thank you so much for joining us. we have got a whole lot of show

6:40 pm
it many times before. it has nothing to do with what side of the aisle your on. everyone wants border security. i asked people on both sides do you want to feel secure at home? the answer was yes. why is securing our nations border different? it shouldn't be. liz: pentagon spokesman jonathan hoffman revealed thursday that the border wall is being built at about a mile a day. is that a legit claim? it could have 450 miles of more border wall by next year. >> i'll tell you what they are building a new wall and replacing old fencing in areas that are strategically needed. obviously there's still some areas that they need to still discuss building but yeah it's getting built and that's a huge deal. there's other things we need aside from that obviously. you need the boots on the ground and everything else. people got to work together. it's not one thing more than the other. liz: to your point it needs to get done here again is former dh s secretary, homeland security
6:41 pm
secretary under president barack obama, he's jeh johnson. here he was in april saying yeah , it's a crisis. watch this. >> by any measure 4,000 arrests in the day, 100,000 in a month that's the population of the city of albany new york that suddenly shows up on our southern border in one month, is a crisis, and it's a crisis because it overwhelms our border patrol and our immigration official's ability to deal with it and if the crisis because you have to absorb that population somehow into southern border towns. liz: do you see how he framed it in other words is the media reporting it correctly in terms of framing? when you're talking about 600,000 people a year showing up at the southern border, that's about the equivalent of the population i think of boston. i mean, shouldn't that, isn't that how it should be reported? that's the context for it.
6:42 pm
>> no that definitely is and one thing that i think some people do not talk about and it's something that statistically you just can't show is the amount of people that are still entering the country undetected and we don't to those numbers so that should also be a significant, it should be scary to the american public. liz: but it's not. it's not scary to the democrats. >> well because people need to understand that these problems are just not staying on border towns they are coming through. we have a huge epidemic of opium use and heroin use in the united states by kids and a lot of these people aren't understanding that. that's coming into our country and coming in through our borders and it's not staying here and it is taking, seriously putting a lot of individual's lives at risk. we need to start taking securing our borders serious just like we lock our doors at night. we need to make sure everything is safe in our borders. liz: thank you so much and thank you for your service to our country great to see you.

6:48 pm
justice gets that sort of inspector general some time soon liz: here is former federal prosecutor doug burns your reaction to that? >> my reaction is that criminal law 101, 2, 3 and 4 to be a little sarcastic is you do not want a client talking about an ongoing criminal case, okay? and i talked to friends of mine, experts, colleagues this afternoon and not to pile on the guy but the reality is i'm sure his lawyer is dead set against him being in on television of all places as opposed to let's just say in a private office and there he is saying i didn't do this or that but let me put a finer point on the pencil. a, things can be taken out of context and b, whatever he says can be used against him obviously so he doesn't need me to lecture him but at the same time real quick, it's ironic as heck, because he's sort of using a donald trump playbook. which this is ridiculous et cetera. liz: well he's suing to get his
6:49 pm
pension back right? >> he is. liz: but the cnn host did not mention he could be indicted for making false statements that he lied three times, no pushback, and then he goes on cnn saying no, i did not intentionally -- >> well they gave him a forum to defend his case in the media but that's a bad move and the other interesting thing real quick and in fairness, there was andy mccarthy said don't spike the football about him being indicted and i agree with andy 100% and i'm not sure so they are 100% there yet liz. liz: let's watch former fbi deputy assistant director about what james comey faces in the upcoming ig michael horowitz probe on the fisa accuse. >> i think he's got issues with regard to the civil rights act, to deny people their rights to have a warrant issued before you record their conversation, and conspiracy. i think this part of it is kind
6:50 pm
of what a preview. it's a tip of the iceberg. it's what's coming next and i hate to see it, but he brought it on himself. >> here is what also happened today. he says that we had jerry nadler and steve cohen saying they don't see any problem happening with what happened with the democrats using the fisa court. the obama administration meaning james comey and specifically not the carter page application, so i guess they are okay with using the fisa court to spy on opposition campaigns. >> it's a double standard. the shoe on the other foot test we've said it a hundred types and without even editorializing in one direction or the other, or politicizing in one direction or the other, all the american public should be asking is that you have justice meet it out equally on both sides but the last footnote is politics and criminal law do not him and you should not be weaponizing criminal law in a political context in either direction, simple translation of all of that, i'm sorry, is that my
6:51 pm
goodness if you're going to charge general flynn with lying, you really should consider charging mccabe with lying. liz: i hear what you're saying and here is the thing. would we have found out any of this if hillary had won? >> no that's a brilliant point and the reason it's so brilliant -- liz: i'll take that. >> but you read that in a lot of the books and stuff, liz seriously saying that so much of the behavior was hedged on she's going to win, that's it and it'll never see the light of day all of the stuff about fisa, what went on with strzok, page, mccabe, comey, never going to see the light of day and then this billionaire businessman wins the election and like oh, my god and now, look at the resistance you've seen for the last year, two year, whatever. the minute the russia probe ended, and they got kind of hit like a mac truck, no collusion they immediately pivot, that's just republican talking points forget that the media buys into
6:52 pm
it but i'll tell you what there's a lot of there are a lot of issues there, obviously about the fisa court et cetera. liz: i can't believe this is where this country is then. >> it's a tough situation. liz: doug burns you're great. thank you for wrapping it up and for the brilliant complement i'll take it. next up, just kidding i'm not brilliant. next up more kavanaugh media bias as the new york times reporter on that botched story now suggested the reporters mulled and considered whether kavanaugh should be on the supreme court. that's next. i'm your cat. ever since you brought me home, that day. i've been plotting to destroy you. sizing you up... calculating your every move. you think this is love? this is a billion years of tiger dna just ready to pounce. and if you have the wrong home insurance coverage, you could be coughing up the cash for this. so get allstate and be better protected from mayhem, like me-ow.

open an account today. liz: to that batch -- botched story from the "new york times" on justice kavanaugh. she said some people argue this kind of aggressive behave years gateway to other behavior. she said it rang true to them that he was guilty of misconduct. >> i don't care what rings true. i care about evidence. i think it's dead wrong for anyone to be smearing another human being, ruining the
6:57 pm
reputation, destroying their career over rumors, hearsay, total unsubstancated allegations from 50 years ago. this is not how america is supposed to be. we have presumption of innocence and due process. there should have been a thorough investigation. >> critics are saying why run it at all if the alleged victim doesn't recall, doesn't corroborate and doesn't talk to them. here is the thing. the reporters have been defensive in response to the scrutiny of their work. the other reporter katie kelly said people see what they want to see. they are imposing their own world view on to the facts. >> that's totally disgraceful. this piece should never have run to begin with.
6:58 pm
it was run on one source with no corroboration and that's jlt -- that's journalistic malpractice. the news division of the "new york times" rejected the story as did "the washington post." it's dead wrong to do this to judge kavanaugh. this is a man who served our country honorably for two decades. he cleared five fbi background checks. and there was an fbi investigation on to some of the other sexual misconduct allegations which were thoroughly debunked. for anyone to in the media to smear judge kavanaugh on baseless allegations. they should be ashamed of themselves. i agree with president trump, i
6:59 pm
think they should be fired. liz: what's striking, the "new york times" reporter failed to put in their essays that didn't make it into the news section. they had the information in their own book that the alleged victim didn't recall it. and they didn't put it in their essay. >> that's so wrong and so disgraceful. journalistic malpractice. when the alleged victim doesn't back up the story you know you have got a bunch of lies. i think judge kavanaugh needs to sue. and i think the libel laws need to change in this country. if this could happen to judge kavanaugh, it could happen to any man in this country. they could be lie bold on hearsay from 30 years ago.
