it demonstrates what i consider the aesthetic vacuum of our age. david: john? >> i wouldn't pay 120,000 for it. david: that does it for bulls & bears. see you next time. elizabeth: the democrats impeachment case just got smaller. it's two articles now, obstruction and abuse of power, but no focus group on bribery charges. we reported to you last week the house intelligence report on impeachment barely discussed bribery. so first no collusion and now no bribery. this as swing states, moderate democrats are getting nervous, battleground state polls show voters there don't want impeachment. ten moderate democrats are pushing the idea of censure instead of impeachment. we're still finding more

antitrump bias in the democrats impeachment bench. now one of their legal counsels who had testified, he said last year attacking trump planning, quote, is nothing in the steele dossier that is false. this as attorney general william barr ripped into the fbi and the obama administration for their constitutional fisa abuses, using that steele dossier and being the first in u.s. history to probe a political campaign. ag barr also tore into the, quote, irresponsible press today. the media, for hyping the far-fetched steele dossier and being inaccurate, misleading and wrong on their report on the fisa abuses at the fbi. this as the senate judiciary will question doj inspector general horowitz at a public hearing tomorrow on the abuses of power under the obama administration. we found more -- much more, what the cia has warned the fbi, and when the fbi knew the steele file was inaccurate, farfetched.

when the fbi knew it was all politically motivated. james comey trying to take a victory lap, even after the fbi director christopher wray announced he had to take 40 corrective actions to fix the mess that comey made. and more damage to senator warren's campaign. her environmental image now under attack. new information surfacing on how then professor warren got paid millions of dollars to help defend companies accused of polluting. i'm elizabeth macdonald. "the evening edit" starts right now. ♪ elizabeth: welcome to the show. you are watching the fox business network. to the two charges of impeachment, against president trump, abuse of power, and obstruction, a full house vote is expected next week. fox news is on capitol hill with

more. great to see you, chad. >> good evening. i have the articles of impeachment right here. they will start to prepare them tomorrow night in the judiciary committee. we've just been told that in the past hour. and they will finish on thursday, and then presumably move them to the house floor the week after that. you know, this has been kind of a whirlwind day on capitol hill. these articles of impeachment were announced early this morning and then came word that there was going to be an agreement on the usmca, the juxtaposition, the confluence of two major events was rather remarkable because as the house of representatives moves to impeach the president, they are also on the precipice of giving the president his biggest bipartisan policy victory, the biggest of his presidency. that's something that i asked the house speaker about, this weird confluence earlier today. listen. >> -- a whiplash morning, dealing with impeachment and the usmca. >> the day is young. it's not a coincidence. it's just as we get to the end

of a session, there has to be some decisions made. >> still impeachment looms over everything. it is major here on capitol hill, and president trump just a little bit ago indicated that impeachment and the announcement on the usmca were connected. >> i assume they will probably have to have the vote -- very important we're getting the usmca which is going to be a great thing for our farmers, our manufacturers, for -- for just about everybody. it is good for everybody, unions included >> the other thing they have to do in the next few days is fund the government. i spoke with the house majority leader hoyer earlier this afternoon. they have to fund the government by the end of the day on the 20th of december, and he says, quote, the 20th and christmas the end to focus people's minds, meaning they have to fund the government and get this all wrapped up by christmas. there was a meeting today in the speaker's office with steven

mnuchin, the treasury secretary, the speaker of the house and the senate and house appropriations committee chair, as they try to forge a deal. there's a lot going on here on capitol hill, but the one thing we do know is that they will not move the usmca in the senate until next year. senate majority leader mitch mcconnell said they would wait until they finish a senate trial. i've been told here in the past few minutes, this is the speaker's office shooting back at mcconnell, coming from henry connelly, a spokesperson for pelosi, the house and senate passed the korea, panama and columbia trade agreements on the same day, october 11th, 2011, senator mcconnell has no excuse, but to bring up the usmca. so the shoe is kind of on the other foot here, liz, where republicans, in particular, mcconnell urging the house to move the usmca, now the roles seem to be versed. back to you -- seem to be reversed. back to you. elizabeth: thank you, chad. ten democrat moderates reports coming in they're in the swing

states that -- in districts that trump won. now they are talking about censure instead of impeachment. the washington post average of as doen polls of battle -- dozen polls of battle state show 51% majority don't want impeachment. if pelosi loses 18 of the 31 moderates impeachment is dead. she says she's not counting votes. no whipping of the votes yet. and also this story, no focus group poll tested charge of bribery in the impeachment articles we reported to you last week. the house impeachment report barely discussed bribery. remember pelosi has been adamant about bribery, that's what the democrats have been pushing on the media. watch this. >> bribery, bribery, and that is in the constitution attached to the impeachment proceedings. >> that's not

[ [talking over each other] elizabeth: let's bring in house judiciary member republican ken buck. great to see you. >> good to be here. >> obstruction of justice, abuse of power, are those impeachable offenses? where's the bribery charge? where did it go? >> it disappeared because while it polled well, there weren't any facts to support it so they didn't bring it. i think that was a good decision not to bring it. they have lowered the abuse of power standard so much that i think that -- in fact, one of the professors said last week that any u.s. president could have been charged and impeached based on where they place the bar now for abuse of power. so i think they are -- the moderate democrats are not only looking at polls, but also looking at justice, and they realize this is not impeachable conduct. elizabeth: we have ten moderate swing states democrats now saying they are talking censure. if nancy loses 18 of the 31 moderates in swing districts trump won, impeachment is dead. and the senate is expected to

wait until january for an impeachment trial. sir, that crashes right into the democrat senators campaign. trump's approval rating is at 45%, higher than obama at this point in his term. >> i think they have a problem. they will have more of a problem in the near future. they will lose i think at least double digits and may very well lose 20, 25 of their votes. i think that gives nancy pelosi cover that it appears that she is trying to get impeachment, appearing to her base to do that while at the same time her moderates vote against her, she is covered on both sides. elizabeth: here's the other thing, the obstruction charge, the trump administration is saying it's waiting for the courts to decide on executive privilege. g.o.p. legal expert jonathan turley warning if you make a high crime and misdemeanor out of going to the courts, it is your abuse of power. and even left wing law professor who worked in the obama administration wrote two years ago there's no legitimate basis

for impeachment. the president has a good faith reason for denying what the house wants. we found even more antitrump bias. democrat legal counsel daniel goldman tweeted back at president trump in august of last year, quote, nothing in the christopher steele dossier has proved to be false. your take on that. we keep finding antitrump bias throughout the democrats key sources and witnesses. >> absolutely. and this obstruction charge is a bad charge to bring. if a criminal defendant asserts attorney-client privilege, you don't charge that individual with obstruction. it is ridiculous to charge this president with obstruction while the courts are deciding how broad the executive privilege is that he is asserting. elizabeth: we also have this, as we're looking at for example, the democrat legal counsel, talking about, you know, impeachment in december 2016, before even the president was sworn in. we have a harvard professor,

lawrence tribe, cited 20 times in the impeachment report talking about impeaching trump, right around a couple years ago. it goes on and on. and the lawyer representing the whistle-blower tweeted ten days after inauguration, quote, hashtag, the coup has started. impeachment will follow ultimately. i want to show this, the cnn panelist went after the democrats yesterday. let's watch this. >> when you are adam schiff and you finish hearings and people give you a standing ovation in the democratic caucus for a hearing, i got to step back and say nancy pelosi wants me to say the caucus is somber about this? a standing ovation for this process is completely unacceptable. when members of the party sit back and say i've decided to impeach before i've heard a hearing, unacceptable. elizabeth: your reaction to that? >> well, i think it's clear. even jonathan turley, the republican witness, with the law professor panel is a democrat

who voted for hilary clinton, who voted for president obama, but who sees the law clearly, and that's the problem here. some of these people have so much anger that they are misinterpreting the law and really changing the focus of where we should be in this proceeding. they may have a censure action. i won't vote for censure, but somebody else may. they could go back and argue to their constituents but not impeachment. elizabeth: it is about whether it rises to the level of impeachable offense and whether voters see it that way. cnn basically -- excuse me, let me back up. it was paul begala, a clinton advisor, official with the clinton administration basically talking about -- he's agreeing with al green, that there's no limit to how many times the house can impeach trump. watch this. >> the constitution does not say it is a one and done deal. this is not the last impeachment we will cover on donald j. trump. >> what? what? >> impeachment today, impeachment tomorrow,

impeachment forever. elizabeth: 24/7 impeachment forever. your take? >> well, look, this is a political body. and at some point the american people get tired of this. the democrat party will pay a price for this impeachment proceeding and threatening future impeachment proceedings in november of 2020. elizabeth: congressman good to see you. come back soon. >> thank you. elizabeth: update on your money, the markets. stocks down for the second day straight. gerri willis joins us from the new york stock exchange with more. >> stocks are being marginally lower as investors await concrete news on whether that december 15th deadline for trade will be pushed out further or not. earlier today, the "wall street journal" reporting that their china sources were saying that the december 15th deadline for new tariffs would be pushed out, wouldn't happen, but the white house did not confirm those headlines. the dow ending down 27 points. the s&p down 3. the nasdaq down 5. and finally, exxon shares

finishing lower after a judge ruled not guilty in a case which weighed exxon defrauding of investors about how it accounted for future climate change regulations. the judge there saying that exxon was not guilty. liz, back to you. elizabeth: great to see you. thank you very much coming up, hud secretary, a very special guest, ben carson joins us on the homeless crisis that's skyrocketed in california. and the battle between california and the trump administration. also a new trend to help our homeless military veterans. it is called tiny homes. we will show you that story, coming up. what if numbers tell only half the story? at t. rowe price, hundreds of our experts go beyond the numbers to examine investment opportunities firsthand. like a biotech firm that engineers a patient's own cells to fight cancer.

elizabeth: senate judiciary tomorrow will question the doj ig watchdog michael horowitz at a public hearing on the fbi fisa abuses in its probe of the trump campaign. here's attorney general william barr ripping into the fbi, the obama administration, and the media. watch this. >> as far as i'm aware this is the first time in history that this has been done to a presidential campaign, the use of these counterintelligence techniques against a presidential campaign.

what the fbi did is later after the dnc hack and the dumping wikipedia -- wikileaks, yeah, is a lie, they get this information that this somewhat vague statement was made in a bar and they jump right into a full scale investigation before they even talked to the foreign officials about exactly what was said. they opened an investigation of the campaign. it just doesn't hold water because on august 4th, they contacted the head of russian intelligence and said we know what you're up to. you better stop it. they did it again in later august, and president obama did it directly in september, so it doesn't strike me as plausible that you would tell the russians who clearly were guilty of interference that you wouldn't go and talk to the campaign. they were told they didn't have probable cause to get a warrant, and so they took the steele

dossier, which they had done nothing to verify, and they used that to get the warrant. it quickly became apparent that it was a travesty, and there were many abuses, and that's by far the most important part of the report. and i think mike horowitz would agree with that. also the fact that from day one, it generated exculpatory information and nothing that substantiated any kind of collusion. it is a big deal to use the law enforcement and the intelligence resources of the united states government to investigate a campaign, especially opposing. the question really is, what was the agenda after the election that kept them pressing ahead, after their case collapsed. our nation was turned on its head for three years. i think based on a completely bogus narrative that was largely fanned and hyped by an

irresponsible press. elizabeth: let's talk about all of this with former fbi assistant director bill gavin. your reaction, sir, great to see you. >> you know, with attorney general barr, what he is saying is right hook line and sinker is what happened. the bureau predicated this whole investigation based on bogus information and it never should have happened, liz, but it did. and now what do they do about it? what can they do about it? i see where the ig reported that initially to initially open this investigation, he couldn't find any political bias. but i find that hard to believe. but on the renewal of the application for the fisa warrants, certainly by that time, the three different times, the e-mails that were exchanged between various bureau officials were known, and if that didn't demonstrate political bias, i don't know what did. this is kind of a mess of a

report. but i appreciate what barr said and also what durham is ass saying -- durham is saying, that this next -- the durham report is going to be devastating because that's where you are going to have indictments and -- elizabeth: possibly perjury charges misleading the fisa court. the attorney general indicated that the obama administration and intelligence officials notified the russians and said hey knock it off but didn't tell the trump campaign hey you have problems with the campaign, fire the guys. so they did it to keep going after the trump campaign, also indicated the attorney general that mccabe and james comey, that the fbi did not have probable cause to launch this surveillance of carter page. so that's when they brought in the antitrump steele dossier that was farfetched. to your point, the fbi probe was launched on the thinnest of pretexts. here's what we found, the cia told the fbi basically in 2016 this steele dossier is an

internet rumor, on the level of that. the fbi knew in 2016 it was politically motivated. we have been reporting for some time that the low threshold to launch a probe of a political campaign is really low, and the trump campaign advisor george papadopoulos, he heard a rumor that russians had hilary clinton's e-mails, that's what triggered the probe. this is a thin pretext to launch political espionage, bill? >> you are right on target, liz. this whole thing doesn't make any sense whatsoever. there is a threshold to open a political corruption case. i think what these people did is they lowered the threshold themselves and took any kind of information to make it appear that there was something nefarious going on. they owed the campaign at least a defensive briefing. they went to the russians and told them we know what you are doing and they wouldn't say anything to the campaign? this is unbelievable that this something like this could happen, but i really believe

that the reason the attorney general and the united states attorney out of connecticut, the reason they say what they said earlier in the game, the minute they heard the report, they want to send out a signal to all of those people that have been nefarious in doing the things they did is watch out because we're coming. the inspector general doesn't have the ability to interview anybody other than the current employees of the department of justice, fbi, whatnot. whereas, the durham investigation, they now can issue subpoenas and the grand jury and that's going to be devastating for the people -- elizabeth: yeah, you wonder if the hilary clinton campaign or the dnc officials will get subpoenaed. bill gavin, great to see you, come back soon. >> thanks, liz. elizabeth: next up, president trump is heading to a rally tonight in pennsylvania, a battleground state key to win 20g -- key to winning 2020. we will take you there with a

elizabeth: president trump is heading to keep america great rally tonight in hershey, pennsylvania. that's one of the several battleground states that he won in 2016. fox news kristen fisher joins us in the rally. kristen, look at that. it is greating crowded. >> it is. we're only about 30 minutes away from president trump bringing everything that has been happening today in washington here to hershey, pennsylvania. you have the usmca, impeachment, and doj inspector general's report, all of it expected to be discussed by president trump tonight. and i'd imagine that he will likely start with the win that speaker pelosi handed him today, an agreement on the usmca, replacement for nafta. president trump has been talking about this, really putting the pressure on democrats on almost every single rally to approve this trade deal.

tonight he will be able to tell voters in this critical battleground state that he was successfully able to strike a deal with democrats and do something that can really help a lot of people here in pennsylvania, especially farmers. i mean, this could very well end up being one of his biggest legislative accomplishments of his presidency. but as president trump was leaving the white house about an hour ago, he said that he believes it is no coincidence that the democrats announced a deal on the usmca on the same day they announced the two articles of impeachment. listen here. >> even the democrats, they couldn't find very much because they put up new articles that frankly are very weak. and they're very weak. also, they approved today of all days, we've been waiting a year, and they approved today the usmca. and i call that the silver lining to impeachment because without the impeachment, they would have never approved it, in

my opinion. >> this will be the president's first big chance to defend himself since the democrats announced those two articles of impeachment earlier today. of course he's been talking about it on twitter, but as you know, liz, he tends to be a bit more colorful more forceful language when he's speaking in person especially at a rally like this. he will also likely talk about the department of justice, inspector general's report into the origins of the mueller investigation. a lot of ground for the president to cover here tonight. he's already landed in pennsylvania. he should be here, set to take the stage right around 7:00 p.m. as you can see, thousands of people are already inside the arena waiting to hear him speak, and there is so much ground for president trump to cover tonight. elizabeth: kristin, you will have fun tonight. we will come back to you if you

get any news out of that. good to see you. president trump delivered a trade deal nafta 2.0 with mexico and canada months ago as kristin just reporting. nancy pelosi today basically stepped on the impeachment message gave trump a victory, nafta 2.0. it is going to raise real u.s. gdp by maybe 70 billion, 180,000 jobs out of the economy. i want to get to the reporter, the journalists who have been breaking the news on this, edward lawrence, the go to guy on nafta 2.0. let's get the latest from edward. >> liz, right now u.s. trade representative robert lighthizer and white house economic advisor jared kushner are in mexico, signed the revised usmca with the deputy prime minister of canada. mexico will have to re-ratify the usmca. canada will also have to start their ratification process overagain. the house ways and means

committee chairman says he sees no more road blocks and a vote in the house for ratification could happen next week. the democrats taking a victory lap over their changes. >> we came a long way from what he originally proposed, what he originally proposed. there's some people who say why make it look like he has a victory. we're declaring victory for the american worker. >> the administration pushing back saying yes, democrats made some changes to the usmca but this is basically the same deal that the trump administration negotiated with mexico and canada. now senators are in session next week. however, senate majority leader mitch mcconnell saying he will not take up a ratification vote until after an impeachment trial next year. but senators were hoping the house takes this up early enough and they could get something done. listen. >> i think this makes some marginal improvements, and i think we should get it done. i'm concerned that the speaker

has sat on this all this time and now trying to jam it through without having an opportunity to give it adequate review and consideration. we're going to work hard to see if we can get up to speed and see if it meets the standard. >> i asked the house speaker why it took so long to take up usmca ratification. she responded to me saying that the size of the deal and the changes they wanted took a very long time. she says when you get a nonstarter like she believes she got in usmca that those negotiations take time. back to you. elizabeth: thank you very much, edward. let's bring in my next guest trump 2020 economic advisor, author of the book trumponomics, it is steven moore. what's your take on this? >> president trump wanted to get it done, met with trade negotiators a week or two ago, they wanted to get this done before christmas because they

were worried about putting this into an election year. now we finally have the house agreeing to something that they waited a year to do, and the thought was that this would immediately move over to the senate, liz, and within 24 hours the senate would ratify it. if that reporting is correct, you're talking about maybe another two or three months delay. elizabeth: why is he delaying? >> i don't know. i mean, that was news to me. i don't think it is wise. i think what is wise is to get this thing ratified right away. it is going to be good for the economy. i should' say this, i don't know all the details of this. i work at the heritage foundation. this is going to be hundreds of pages report. so we want to see exactly what changes were made. they have not been fully announced so i don't want to go too wild on this, but i love the idea of restoring the reagan idea of u.s., canada, mexico, being a free trade zone. that's a great idea. elizabeth: with our problems at the border with mexico, some analysts have said it could help mexico with the border crisis. >> for sure. elizabeth: mexico boosts its economy with this deal, that

creates jobs. >> we talk so much about all the foreign policy skirmishes all over the world, and we forget our most important foreign policy issue is keep mexico secure and economically stable. the last thing we want is mexico to go to the direction of, say, venezuela. so this will -- i think the big winner here clearly is mexico. this is really important for the stability and the health of their economy. elizabeth: the news there again, senator mcconnell may delay nafta 2.0 -- >> i hope that's wrong. elizabeth: you are great, stephen moore, good to sea see you. -- good to see you. coming up comey took a victory lap. attorney general william barr ripped into james comey and the fbi's abuses of errors under the obama administration. the abuse is so severe, the fbi process so badly managed, christopher way, the fbi director says he has to take 40 corrective actions to fix the

elizabeth: to the fight between the trump administration and california on stopping california's skyrocketing homelessness. an estimated 130,000 people in california are homeless. more than any other state. homelessness up nearly 50% in oakland. more than 40% in san jose, double digits in san francisco. with us now dr. ben carson, the secretary of housing and urban development. great to see you, sir. >> my pleasure, thank you. elizabeth: what is the trump administration's plan on homelessness in california? we keep hearing it could be ready for the president's review in coming weeks. >> yes, well, obviously we want to have a situation where we have cooperation between the federal, state, local governments, as well as the nonprofits, the for profits, the faith-based organizations, so, you know, that's the ideal situation. we have been talking to all of

those various entities. and we have to talk about both the acute phase and the chronic phase and recognize that you have a whole host of different kinds of reasons for people to be homeless. you have those who are drug addicted. you have those who have mental problems. you have those who have fallen on hard times because of a job or family illness, divorce. and so obviously one solution does not fit all of them. but we do know that we have some health hazard issues that are going on because of the fact that we're leaving people on the streets. there's feces, urine, needles, and these are the kinds of things that set up a situation where you could have a major epidemic. so we need to fix it. and that means taking people off the street and putting them in a location that is safe, but also a location in which we can provide some of the wrap-around

services, because it's not just a matter of getting them off the stre street. it is a matter of figuring out why you are on the street in the first place. then thirdly, seeing if it can be fixed. that's what real compassion is. and somehow we have gotten off base and started thinking that compassion is just leaving the people out there and letting them do what they want to do. elizabeth: the administration is considering sheltering people on federal property. then you have the governor of california saying to the trump administration you know give us the money we want for federal housing vouchers that could benefit 50,000 homeless people. will the trump white house say yes use federal property to shelter homeless people in california? >> there's probably going to be a combination of things, but the one thing that we know that doesn't work is just throwing money at it because the more money you throw at it, the higher the prices go. the regulations continue to grow, and you'll never catch up.

you're just chasing your tail. so it's sort of like in medicine, you know, you look at the person who has a fever. you don't just treat the fever. you say what is causing the fever? and you go to that. this is what we've got to do with the housing crisis or we'll never catch up. we're very happy to work with the governor. we're happy to work with the mayor, with the county, commissione commissioners, all these people, but we have to do things that make sense and we have to look at the data. we have to look at the evidence and do things based on that. elizabeth: doctor, i want to switch gears, military veterans and their homelessness is a serious problem. a really interesting trend in, for example, in milwaukee and kansas city, veterans groups are helping to build what are called tiny homes for military veterans. is that something that hud has considered? >> yes, in fact, you know, last summer, we had on the mall, on

the national mall a showcase of affordable housing, and it included tiny houses, container houses, talking about manufactured housing, and 3d printed housing, all kinds of technologies that are available. and i will say, you know, as far as veteran homelessness is concerned, you know, over the last decade, it's been cut in half, and from last year to this year, it's gone down by another 2%. so we're making very good progress there. we need to continue to do that. several cities and localities have declared zero veterans homelessness. elizabeth: hud secretary dr. ben carson, thank you very much for joining us. really great to see you, sir. come back soon. >> thank you. elizabeth: thanks for your insights. still ahead more on what to expect tomorrow when senate judiciary questions the justice department inspector general about fbi fisa abuses.

the abuse of power the ag says happened under the obama administration. more on that, next. let's be honest, quitting smoking is freaking hard. like quitting every monday hard. quitting feels so big. so, try making it smaller. and you'll be surprised at

elizabeth: let's bring in lou dobbs with a look at what's coming up next on his show. lou? lou: liz, thank you very much. our guest tonight white house

press secretary stephanie grisham on the president's reaction to these two charges as a result of almost three months of inquiry as the radical dems like to call their farce. general michael flynn's attorney joins us sidney powell and white house trade czar peter navarro what's happening with china and historian and scholar victor davis hanson on what all of this means as it appears we're going to have some rather, well, testy constitutional conflicts in the weeks and months ahead. of course michael goodwin and mark simone join us tonight as we hope you will at the top of the hour, right after liz macdonald. liz? elizabeth: you know what, lou? it is strike. first they were adamant about collusion. then no collusion. and then the democrats are adamant about bribery. now no bribery. lou: and now what are they adamant about? they are adamant about abuse of power, but it turns out that's been sort of dismissed, and

then -- because the mueller report -- and then they are a little upset about obstruction of justice because the president and all of his administration, liz, they just want to go to court to assure their legal rights. only the radical dems think of that as obstruction. you can't make these up. elizabeth: lou, thank you very much. we will be watching. lou: thanks. elizabeth: do you want to live in a world where the administration like the obama administration subpoenas phone records and harasses reporters at the associated press, the "new york times," fox news, or the fbi under the obama administration launches espionage on a political opponent based on false accusations that were bankrolled by democrats, where democrat adam schiff is now the first congressman to try to get the phone records and put them in an impeachment report of his political rivals to get rid of the president. let's talk about with it trump 2020 campaign communications

director. he's at the president's rally in hershey, pennsylvania. great to see you, tim. your reaction to all of that and the fbi fisa abuse report. >> it's just as bad as we always expected it would be. the abuses that went in the fbi and the things that were omitted, the things that were outright falsified and me f-- ad nefarious are generously called errors. they relied on the steele dossier which was a completely bogus document and even relied on it to renew the fisa applications even when it was known inside the fbi what a terrible document it was. it is an absolutely an abuse of power by the obama biden fbi to go after a political adversary, the campaign of a candidate for president of the united states. it's astounding. and the fact that the rest of the national media, i appreciate you talking about it here tonight, but the fact that the rest of the national media seems

remarkably uncurious about this is just staggering to us. elizabeth: you know, what's interesting, the cia said basically the steele dossier is quote an internet rumor. that's according to the ig report. and said it in 2016. they told the fbi that. the fbi knew in 2016 it was politically motivated. the fbi never telling anyone about that. has the president said anything about the fbi never giving the heads up to his campaign about, you know, basically there's problems with your campaign and maybe you should fire people because the ig is certainly saying that the fbi and the obama administration gave the heads up to russia? your reaction to that? >> well, i think it's just astounding that someone -- an institution that americans ought to be able to trust, like the federal bureau of investigation, you know, you grew up in this country, and you think the fbi is full of a bunch of straight shooters, people who do things the right way and take an oath and they will enforce the law and fight crime. then you find out that all they

have been doing -- not all they have been doing, i don't want to overextend it, but what some of them have been up to is going after a legitimate candidate for the president of the united states and using illicit means to do so. the steele dossier which they relied on over and over again as you said was basically the equivalent of a document full of internet rumors. it is remarkable that no one gave a warning. no one said hey this is what folks are up to, not at all. not one time. the fact that democrats seem to be so preoccupied with the notion that people would investigate their political adversaries but don't seem to care about this fisa abuses one bit, it is very telling. elizabeth: if hillary won we would have never heard about any of this. great to see you. come back soon. next up, more damage to elizabeth warren's campaign, new information surfacing calling into question her green environmental credentials. it's how then professor warren was paid millions of dollars to help defend companies accused of polluting.

million to help a large development company to avoid paying $4 million to clean up a waste site on the puget sound. >> it's stunning the hypocrisy. elizabeth warren claims she is for the little guy and protect us against climate change and a climate catastrophe. she was paid millions of dollars defending big oil. she was doing that with big corporations and she worked for dow chemical which was fighting a lawsuit. their subsidiary dow corning was fighting a lawsuit against tens of millions of women fighting them for silicone implants that were making them sick. she wasn't differenting the women, she was -- she wasn't

defending the women, she was defending the company. time and time again elizabeth warren is not who she pretend to be, whether that's falsely claiming she was a native american or falsely claiming she supports the little guy and middle class families when she made millions supporting big powerful corporations. >> businesses face their quote risk of the unknown. that's capitalist elizabeth warren. we don't see the inner elizabeth warren right now. your reaction? >> she pretend she is against the 1% and against capitalism. she made $12 million. that is the 1%. she sleeps in a $3 million home in cambridge every night. capitalism has worked out very

well for elizabeth warren. liz: thank you for having us in your home. thank you for watching. lou dobbs next right here on the fox business network. have a good evening. [♪] lou: good evening, everybody, the awful politics of the d.c. swamp get stranger and stranger every day. this morning the radical dimms decided upon two charges to assert against president trump as the house begins to wrap up their now almost 3 month long so-called impeachment inquiry. then this afternoon, those same radical difficulties finally agreed to d cad rall dimms find -- those same radical dimms agreed to approve the
