david: a clown costume. >> i like it. david: that fits it. david: i like capitalist pig, thank you, happy halloween, we'll see you next time. elizabeth: to the house formalizing impeachment infiery, nancy pelosi claims it will eliminate any doubt about whether administration can block witnesses, with hole documents r ignore subpoenas, tonight, will democrats try to get the president on obstruction. does republicans say this is a case of a sham. because democrats cannot beat the president at the ballot box.

trump sum wer is up on rt -- supporters say, they have been railroading the president, and big battle, a top border guy on with us to explain what shaping on the ground there. pushing back on democrats saying, voters do' border security this is a humanitarian crisis and more, we have more debate about the new statistics about the border. the amount of illicit drugs, and gang members and drug cartels using drones to go over the wall. democrat say they will fight the president's border wall funding. and to california, wildfires threatening inland empire. just east of los angeles, two more wildfires have just broken out in california, we'll take you there. and also this, a big fight in california. just broke out about who is to

blame, former governor jerry brown now blaming the president and republicans, saying, blood is on their souls. california elected officials say, get real jerry, liberal policies tor blam are to blame. for putting california in jeopardy and creating kay on thechaos,thank you for joining . i am elizabeth macdonald. the "evening edit" starts right now. >> welcome to the show. house vote approving resolution along party lines, here is what nancy pelosi said. >> this is a sad day because nobody comes to congress to impeach a president of the united states. elizabeth: rashida tlaib has not changed her position.

>> mom, you won. bullies don't wind, i said they don't, we'll go in there and teach them [bleep] elizabeth: to hillary vaughn on capitol hill. reporter: house impeachment investors heard from tim morrison, he was john bolton's deputy, and house republicans say it one of the most positive days of testimony they heard inside the scif, they can't wait for that testimony to become public. now could happen because, the house approved ground rules to start phase 2 of the impeachment inquiry, that means we'll have public hearings. >> resolution today sets out procedures going forward with that impeachment process. the founding fathers understood that a leader might take hold of oval office who would sacrifice the national security and provided a mechanism to deal with it, that mechanism is called impeachment.

reporter: house republicans railed again the reals that democrats set, say they deny the president due process, and tie republicans hands, house minority win steve c scalise calling what schiff doing a scam. and will doug collins wants schiff to show up and testify as a witness, challenging his role as an investigator and answer questions about his relationship with the whistleblower. >> here is my challenge to mr. schiff. you want to be ken starr. be we ken starr, come to the judiciary committee, be the first witness and take every question asked of you. >> folks, this aing ain't over t ready. reporter: they are getting ready, republicans and democrats are ready for this.

the hot one on the list john bolton, they requested he appear, his lawyers said he would not show uh-u unless he is subpoenaed, and they will also get transcripts of the close-door meetings. elizabeth: or ignore subpoenas, that is what democrat say that republicans are doing. we bring in representative sense so-- your reaction to the vote. >> it is shameful what the democrats did today is deny the president of the united states, an opportunity to present a defense to what adam schiff and nancy pelosi are doing. what has been going on in secret in the scif, is behind closed-doors. it is one sided. and people are coming and

testifying their impressions of the phone call that president trump made to the president of ukraine. he release a transcript of that. they don't need to have the witnesses unless that i want to selectively leak damaging information on the president to a compliant press. everyone can read that transcript if they want to. and they can reach their own conclusions of whether there was a quid pro quo demand. there are some witnesses who say there was no quid pro quo, most personally president zelensky, and eurk okay ukraines say thero quid pro quo, that is really a kangaroo court, i hope that american public realizes that the president is not getting the same constitutional protectstion that woo give someon we give sos accuse of serial murder.

elizabeth: 5 weeks of questioning, witnesses in secret, with no classified information discussed, accused of being impeachment by leak. as democrat control the flow of revelation -- it can veto republican requests for seepine subpoenas and request to call witnesses, if white house refuses to provide documents, or witnesses, democrats aring and for. is house intelligence chair schiff -- republicans call him the ken starr special counsel, is he the gatekeeper on the transcripts from the close door hearings? he said he will release the transcripts. do you believe that, should the public see it all. >> public should see everything except what may be classified. but there is little or no classified information that that been given in the closed-door hearings, they could hav this iy

hearing room in capital but they did not. >> this is impeachment by leak to shape public opinion. majority still oppose impeachment. this is where we're at. >> in the vote o we don't belien due process under our constitution. they did not appear in the clinton administration before starr. he is directing witnesses not to answer questions he does not want the witness to answer if they are asked by republicans be he is not cut off one democrat. elizabeth: that is steve scalise referring to chifundo "mercy" . >> that is what he said, that is

why this is a shameful day in house of representatives. i was one of those that was a major mover in clinton impeachment 20 years ago. ken starr appeared he was subject to questioning by the democrats and by the republica republicans. the clinton lawyers had a day to present a defense before the house voted articles of impeachment against president clinton. what is significant here is the house under the constitution is not a grand jury. people who are not on the three committees that were allowed into the scif, are not even allowed to hear the testimony. this is probably the most consequential and gravest vote that any member of the house of representatives will cast any time during their careers, shutting members who are not on three selected committees out from being able to hear and judge the body language of the

witnesses, and listen to them answer all of the questions, democrats' to ask, and getting hearings republicans shut off, again does not allow the president -- bottom line is fairness this the most blatantly unfair thing congress has done in 40 plus years that i have been there. elizabeth: quite a statement, congressman sensenbrenner thank you for coming on. >> thank you, liz. elizabeth: s&p 500 earnings are on track analyst say to decline for a third straight quarter. but look at this, three quarters of s&p 500 company reporting profits that have beaten wall street estimate better than 5 year average, earns seasoning good, gehry -- gerri willis on

>> okay coming up, a top border guy on stagger new statistics. the border is -- number of illegals trying to cross, as democrat now warn they will fight the president's border wall funding request. could that trigger a government shut down along with impeachment in three weeks time? right before thanksgiving. plus wildfires across california, two new ones just broke out, heavily populated inland empire east of los angeles now under a severe threat. and new fight breaking out in california, who is to blame former governor brown trying to blame the president and the republicans. saying that blood is on their souls, but california republicans, and elected officials say, get real jerry, liberal policies are to blame for creating chaos in the state and putting california in jeopardy.

apex summit. fox business' blake berman at the white house with more. reporter: the phone cales continued at a deputy level between u.s. and china trade teams, more senior level conversations are expected tomorrow, there is a question to when the phase one trade agreement could potentially be signed and where that might be signed. president trump acknowledging that open-ended question today, sending out a tweet writing: >> the new location will be announced soon, president xi and president trump will do the signing. multiple administration officials say, they have not heard of where the meeting could take place, i am told the mid november time frame is still on track. the white house does not appear

to be too concerned with the unexpected change in plans. >> apec was canceled yesterday, it has not negatively impacted our conversations with china at all, i spoke with trade team this morning great larry kudlow, he told he the talks of going smoothly. reporter: a spokesperson said that work is progressing smoothly, adding two sides will continue to promote consultation and other work as originally planned. the mar market took notice of a headline in bloomberg according to that story chinese officials are concerned about possibility of able to strike a full comprehensive trade deal. back to you. elizabeth: blake buhrmann good to see. >> president trump silver bullet to wind 202to -- win 2020 is kee growing. china trade deal, nafta 2.0,

will that be ruined by impeachment. >> i wrote in my column today what shaping with usmca, it looks like pelosi is putting up of obstacle she can from putting this to a vote, even though the votes are there. but she is adding all sorts of other things, talking about maybe you have to agree to reenter the paris climate accord, and she wants a pension bailout bill attached and reopen several elements the trade -- you know that could you know be very destructive to the process. elizabeth: stay on that, it sounds like you are bringing news, nancy pelosi today and yesterday said we're moving toward nafta 2.0 that is her rhetoric but you say otherwise. >> i hope she is, so far -- look, this should have been voted on a month ago. >> a year ago.

>> right. so why this taking to long. and my sources on capitol hill, say, pelosi is not doing this because she still uneasy about handing donald trump a political victory. even though it has been good for the economy, good for workers, this is a frustrating process, i will take her for her word, if she wants to move it along, do it, do it tomorrow. elizabeth: there still no recession, moody's analytic saying that pruch wil that president trump will win 2020. republican say yes, democrat spent bills to senate, but they were along party line votes they knew that republican senate would not take up, bills that were way out, many voters would not want. here is what i' to know, will --

is it china thatment want wantse deal? china is looking like it is having a really hard time. >> we both need it. when i talked with trump about it, he would say china needs us more than we need them, he is right. we have done -- but i think that this is the big under sold story oof the year, how much tariffs have really hurt the chinese economy. and by the way, i don't believe those statistics saying they're growing at 6%, people on ground in china sa say they are barely staying flat. negatives have hurt china, all more reason to get this done, our stock market will go through the roof, and jobs will increase, and same will happen in china, get it done. you know, thin just worry because, you know i hear the reports that chinese may be you

know, every so often they seem to be you, retreating a little bit, but i think at this stage it will get done, and you are right, stock market will take off and both countries liz when it happens. elizabeth: i never heard a republican foils trade deals to go after a democrat president. >> thank you. elizabeth: more action in world, lucas with update. reporter: u.s. officials say north korea conducted a missile test on halloween, firing two ballistic missiles, 230 miles across the peninsula into the saysea. the latest test two months before north korea end of year deadline for nuke ha nuclear tah the trump administration. and follows two summits between president trump and kim jong-un. i am told, they saw satellites preparing for tests. they say missiles were short or medium range, from mobile

it is good to hear morgan say those, he is hitting the nail on the head,. it is 100% correct. if a lot o thiede politician -- these politicians protect our neighbor border, it would be better. >> the number are stunning, a million apprehensions or rejection to last fill -- fiscal year, a million people showing up. we're talking about drugs that have been seized. weapons. nearly a thousan a thousand gans arrested and detained, 3 how thousand il illicit web weapon. how can anyone rationaly say this is a manufactured crisis?

and more utilities to blame for triggers the fires beyond pg&e. edison international reports that southern california edison arm unit likely sparked the woolsey fire in 2018. don cedric, mayor of laguna hills, california. this is a really scary story unfolding. >> oh, yeah, it is just a misplace am of by-- misplacement of priorities. democrats trying to point finger at federal government, they have no one to blame but themselves, safety has not been a priority. elizabeth: former mayor brown blaming the president. saying, the climate den denierse a joke wha blood is on your sou. >> if true that climate changed

then their priorities need to change, if that causing the forest fires, they need to do more in clearing the forest. 46 ufor example in the north ths would kill fewer trees if they scramically offered area -- strategically identified areas where they could clear the brush, clear the forest, they could have logging companies come in do it, at no change to taxpayers, we could make money on the deal to convert that good word to lumber, instead of ashes, and fewer trees would be killed by prevents the widespread forest fires. elizabeth: here is the thing, republican politicians and elected officials in california say, someone the madness that liberal sacramento politicians have to stop forcing state utility spending billion on green energy, and use that money to bury old utility old power

lines so they don't trigger fires, have you two million people in the dark, nursing homes, hospitals. and people cannot use and recharge their cell phones to get out of the fire, that is beyond nightmare scenario here. >> you are right. what is gag t going to happen wn same power outage does not provide electricity to pumping stations that provides the water for firefighters to put out the fires. just in 2016, pg&e spend 2.4 billion on buying extending every renew ablic -- renewablepg infrastructure, simple things need to be. steel poles indecid instead of n poles or putting power lines underground where the wind does not affect them, that is where we need to put our priorities.

michael pills burg pillsbury whe deem with u.sdeal are u.s. and . elizabeth: a lot to talk about. >> okay, republicans and trump supporters are outraged, saying democrats have been trying to rairailroad the president into impeachment even before he was the elected. joining me now, former federal prosecuter doug byrnes, great to see you. >> thank you. elizabeth: next step, are they trying to get him on obstruction. >> well, it might be a double track. you know point is you have underlying offense they are looking at, but then like a back up plan, if he is covering up stuff, rhetoric has been too harsh any time hig high he doest respond to a subpoena, that is it that is obstruction of justice. elizabeth: to your point, can

the president fight this in the court all the way to supreme court. republicans say this sun fair and rigged. >> a great question -- this is unfair and rigged. >> in 1974 nixon fought the case in supreme court on whether high would have it disclose the tapes and disclose other subpoenaed materials he lost in the supreme court. elizabeth: but that was a criminal probe. >> you read my mine. the key distincttion there you had a childre should shoul spe . but again, they may say this is a non-- issue. political matter not for the court then everyone will scream what about bush v gore, another seminar.

so. assuming for sake of argument that supreme court did jump in, what they will do is use same analysis as nixon, that was a unanimous decision. elizabeth: well, a hick of a hik of a fight. the democrat lead committees could continue to investigate for other purposes. in other words fishing expedition. but here is nancy pelosi in 1998, saying that clinton impeachment push was a fishing expedition. >> right now we have a situation where any and all driv grief grs that anyone had with president are being heaped on and talking about impeachment without defining what laws may have been

broken without even defining if the laws were broken. elizabeth: okay beyond a fishing expedition, we don't know what laws were broken. in is no clarity. >> there is not -- the point is. you default to the constitution, treason bribery or other high crimes and misdemeanor. to be interpreted of the umbrella the treeson and bribery. hard to say, jerry ford, said, impeachment, an impeachable, offense whatever the house of representative says on an afternoon, that was a great point. i don't like taking a speech from between years ago. it like a moot court in law school, you say all this is is

an attempt to usurp an election. that was democrats 20 years ago. and bill clinton o elected. and that is the issue, you can argue it both ways until you are red in the face. elizabeth: what is your final take away? >> that you know, they are going to proceed to try to return articles of impeachment had. i think this issue of people voting from particular districts will get a little heated up in terms of trump districts, it may be a close vote then to senate, everyone is too quick, you know, someone today, i was on phone old friend she said, you have to await the evidence, i said had her husband a 50 year lawyer, i said what a shocking revelation. that is what you should do. elizabeth: right, doug byrnes thank you. >> my pleasure.

elizabeth: okay. up next, choice for america. trump policy, busting the economy, jobs, wages, and retirement accounts. democrat 2020 race? trouble with still no frontrunner, joe biden dissolving to gas, warren with a plan for everything running away on how to pay for single payer, that story next. performance comes in lots of flavors. there's the amped-up, over-tuned, feeding-frenzy-of sheet-metal-kind. and then there's performance that just leaves you feeling better as a result. that's the kind lincoln's about. ♪

..

liz: the 2020 democrat race is in trouble. still no clear frontrunner and no positive, optimistic vision for america. let's bring in pacific research ceo, sally pike. >> it's a battle. the big battle among the candidates is on single-payer healthcare, medicare for all. you have sanders and warren against the others. many of them were for single payer early on but now are for the public option to compete against public insurers. ultimately the government will price their ibs lower. it's definitely i think elizabeth warren is in the lead. mayor buttigieg is fairly

popular. kamala harris seems to be on a downward slide. liz: kamala harris was the one who could take on trump in a debate. but the democratic party went so far left that she was yanked far left and pushed into a corner where she was accused of flip flopping. she admitted her single payer plan will cause 2 million job losses. she has 50 plans to pay for everything else. it will cost more than social security, medicare, medicaid combined. we have senator warren dodging yet again about this. >> some of us are happy with the health understand we have. we came up here looking for more specifics on your healthcare financing. >> good. good. good question. so let's talk a little bit about healthcare in america.

obviously it's really important. liz: we watched the sound bite, she didn't answer the question. >> she never answers the question, even on stephen colbert. the$30 to $40 trillion. doctor oz would have their salaries cut to 40% to medicare rates. but that will result in a number of doctors retiring early. the best and brightest kids in this country who traditionally have gone into healthcare. and other million would be doctors and hospitals. we'll have fewer doctors. where are these people going to work? they will have to get jobs in the government. it's frightening. it's like having the dmv run the healthcare system.

i think she has to realize the cost is not going to be -- she can't cover the cost with a wealth tax. liz: finish your thought because i have a quick question. >> also she'll have to realize there will be rationed care and long waits for care just like in canada where i am from. the average wait to see a primary care doctor to see a specialist is five months. there will be a greater demand for healthcare under single payer when people think it's free. liz: how do you have a healthcare system in an unaccountable government? >> you cannot. the american people realize. that's why i think the polling for medicare for all has gone down to 51%. it's not going to work.

liz: we are so sorry we ran out of time with you. would you comp back on the show again? we would love to have you. lou dobbs is next. he's fired up.
