subpoenaing john bolton for testimony. is this impeachment 2.0? big tech under fire on capitol hill from republicans for bias and more. they could get steam rolled again by foreign disinformation attacks in the upcoming election. not just from russia but china, and north korea. "the hill" reporter joe concha saying president pushing back with bolton with sound bites had nothing but support support for the commander-in-chief. bolton is wrong in one key anecdote of china because he was there. house ranking republican jim jordan on more comments from joe biden to the "new york times" are now raising eyebrows. on the growing blow back against the trump rally in tulsa, oklahoma. jordan says he will be there. so will reportedly hundreds of national guardsmen to stop potential protesters. the media stepping up its

"the evening edit" starts right now. ♪ elizabeth: let's head to straight to washington, d.c., to hillary vaughn with the latest t has been a hot news day, hillary. reporter: it has, liz, the supreme court decision to reject president trump's decision to end daca. the program that was put in place through executive order from president obama that essentially protects underage immigrants that were brought here illegally by their parents
6:03 pm
from being deported. the supreme court decision 5-4, saying the administration as attempt to abruptly end daca did not adequately plan how that would affect 700,000 undocumented immigrants that would now potentially face deportation. so the president says he is back to square one, tweeting this. as president of the united states i am asking for a legal solution on daca, not a political one. consistent with the rule of law. the supreme court is not willing to give us one. so now we have to start this process all over again. earlier, the president made this ruling a campaign issue writing this, these horrible and politically-charged decisions coming out of the supreme court are shotgun blasts into the face of people that are proud to call themselves republicans or conservatives. we need more justices or we will lose our second amendment and everything else. vote trump 2020. the supreme court decision though did drive the top democrat in the senate, senate minority leader chuck schumer to tears of joy on the senate
6:04 pm
floor. >> wow, the decision is amazing. i am so happy. these kids, their families, i feel for them. i think all of america does. now, -- reporter: but the ruling is not sitting well with some of schumer's conservative colleagues like senator ted cruz. >> the majority assumes that daca, obama's executive amnesty, is illegal. and then bizarrely holds that the trump administration can't stop implementing a policy that is illegal. that is lawless. this decision today was lawless. reporter: today the trump campaign is taking on facebook for censoring one of their
6:05 pm
campaign ads that showed up an upside down red triangle used by antifa. that has been used by nazis, facebook took it down because it violated their policy. to identify political prisoners without the context that condemns or discusses the symbol. the trump campaign is defending using it saying it is not their symbol. it is antifa's, saying in a statement, inverted red triangle is a symbol use the by antifa, it was included in an ad about antifa. ironic to take a trump ad to media implicitly concede that antifa is a hate group. back to you. >> hillary, thank you for your reporting there. don't miss tim murtagh. he will join us tomorrow night to discuss the latest on the campaign trail. coming up now, the chair of house intelligence, democrat adam schiff, slamming john bolton saying he put profit
6:06 pm
before count by not bringing his memoir information into the impeachment hearings. this is a separate story too. schiff applauded twitter for slapping a warning label on the president's tweets at a hearing today featuring security officials from facebook, google and twitter. hearing was about new warnings that china, russia, iran, north korea may interfere in the 2020 presidential election. here is representative schiff earlier today. >> google is probably the least transparent of the major technology companies. google essentially adopted a strategy, keeping its head down avoiding attention to its platform while others draw heat. >> i certainly hope that is not the perception. if it is, that is misperception, mr. chairman. we've been very transparent. >> i applaud twitter for putting those labels on the presidential tweets regarding absenttee voting. elizabeth: joining me now former independent counsel ken starr.
6:07 pm
ken let's deal with the hearing on social media, google, facebook and twitter. what was your reaction toe adam schiff's applauding twitter's decision to put a warning on president's tweets. >> a little bit of hypocrisy. i thought we were in favor of transparency. let's get john bolton's book out. depends whose ox is getting gored. the platforms need to play it straight, play it honorably and we have questions about virtually all of them. facebook taking heat to be much more open, we're only going to sensor that we're authorized to do under federal law. that has to do with outrage just kind of stuff as opposed to political statement. -- outrageous. these platforms need to get a coherent strategy in terms of what they believe in and follow that faithfully and
6:08 pm
consistently. thus far they're not doing that. elizabeth: let's get to john bolton's book. we got top democrats led by house speaker nancy pelosi talking about subpoenaing john bolten for testimony. is this impeachment 2.0. saying that bolton and gop put greed over the country to sell a book. what do you think? >> that is political rhetoric on part of the democrats. as i recall, john bolton said hey, subpoena me. there was a rush, right, remember that? we have to get this impeachment process done. he wouldn't respond apparently to a subpoena. but here's the great tension. the first amendment believes in transparency and openness and so john bolton has important things to say, whether you like them or whether you don't but there is now a serious issue that is in court. does he in fact disclose classified information, highly confidential, highly sensitive
6:09 pm
information? so now we go to court. we just don't have squabbles between his very able lawyer chuck cooper and the white house. now we go to court, a very able judge, chief judge, former chief judge royce lambert, will sort through all of this in a hearing tomorrow afternoon. elizabeth: okay. so the explosive allegations against the president in the book that he supported or rather green-lighted, said yes, it is okay for china to have prison camps for a million muslims you know, other anecdotes in there, undercutting the president that he defended saudi, the saudis against the kashoggi murder, "washington post" columnist in order to change a negative headline that would have gone against ivanka trump and more. explosive allegations about trump did want to stop military aid to the ukraine in order to get information on biden and hillary clinton. go ahead. >> deeply, troubling, but liz, begs the question, john,
6:10 pm
mr. bolton, if you were this concerned why didn't you resign? i don't think there is a good answer for that. to continue to serve, take notes and then do a book two months after you left office, it doesn't pass the smell test. elizabeth: do you believe him? >> i have not read it all. john bolton, i think is an honorable man, i've known him for many years but his china statement has been disputed by someone who is in the meeting. we have to get the book and assess it, see what other eyewitnesses -- the president is usually not alone in these meetings. we'll soon find out whether there is disagreement with the facts. elizabeth: yeah. ken starr, great to have you on. thank you so much. we're going to dig into that official who was in a meeting disputing what john bolton said later in the show. coming up to the trump rally in oklahoma this saturday. reports are coming in hundreds of oklahoma army national guard being activated to help provide

6:15 pm
this saturday, reports coming in, as many as 250 oklahoma army national guard soldiers now being act activated to provide security against potential protesters. critics including cnn that the president should cancel amid covid-19 concerns. house judiciary committee ranking republican, jim jordan of ohio. great to have you back on, sir. >> great to be own, sir. elizabeth: are you going to the rally this saturday? >> i am. elizabeth: tulsa health director wants to postpone it. the tulsa health director says there is significant increase in covid-19 cases. your reaction to the rally. >> americans want to get out and want to support this president. president trump has a way to connect with the american people. that connection, liz, built on simple concept. this president is taking on the swamp, doing what he said he would do. the american people appreciate
6:16 pm
that. they are eager. people lining up to get there for saturday's event, two days ahead of time. a million people want to go to this event. this will being oklahoma ans, texans, kansans, people will come to oklahoma. time to get back to normal as best we can. the american people are eager to support the president. unlike joe biden who is stuck in the basement of his house. this president of wants to get out to continue to connect to the american people. elizabeth: joe biden being criticized not having any press or campaign events in more than two months. stay on joe biden. he said to "the new york times" today, he was not aware that his son hunter was on the board of ukraine energy bp buries ma. this is a play to pay conflict story of the bidens. he didn't know about hunter es a work there, after, until after hunter was on the board. watch this. >> i didn't realize he was on the board until after it was, after he had been on the board, and at the same time, he has
6:17 pm
come forward said it was mistake on his part to be on the board. >> come on, liz. elizabeth: here is the thing, congressman. let me just jump in here because hunter biden reportedly did tell his father about his, that he was going to work for this company. >> right. elizabeth: now he is caught in a reversal here. go ahead. >> no, he definitely, we have testimony from people at the state department who were so concerned about it, they went to the vice president, they wanted to brief the vice president about this, because they saw potential conflict here. the state department was nervous about some of the same witnesses democrats used as part of their impeachment hoax, their impeachment crazy plan, they told us during the depositions they were concerned about this conflict and they were going to tell the vice president's office about it. of course he knew. he can try to change it. the american people understand what happened. the american people i think clearly see the difference between joe biden, part of the swamp, president trump, fighting the swamp, doing what he said,
6:18 pm
getting results. that is what this campaign will boil down to. the radical left positions democrats have taken. joe biden catering to the cancel culture, pandering to the radical left versus donald trump who has been fighting for the american people and getting done -- building the wall, cutting taxes, getting out of iran deal. putting embassy in jerusalem, and whole lot of other things. that is what the campaign comes down to. joe biden can dismiss what happened to his son in china and ukraine but american people understand what took place. elizabeth: watch joe biden dodge the question from the "new york times" whether family members of presidents and vice presidents should be banned from serving on the boards of foreign companies. watch this. >> the answer is, i hadn't thought of it that way but i don't think i would be opposed to it, except what happens if there is -- wouldn't apply to my family, what happens if somebody's son or daughter has long been a member after board of a major corporation that has
6:19 pm
international, multinational corporation? it could be counter productive but i don't -- my, look, as i said, looking back on it, hunter has indicated that he thought it was a mistake to do what he did, get on the board although no one indicated he has done anything that was illegal or wrong. >> liz, every american -- elizabeth: is that, go ahead, take it on. >> every american knows what hunter biden did does not pass the smell test, shut be illegal. should not have happened. every american knows that. doesn't matter how much explaining joe biden wants to do, americans see the facts knows that shouldn't happen at all. plain and simple. elizabeth: congressman, come back on the show. we want to hear how the rally went for you. >> we will. take care. elizabeth: okay. great to see you. coming up, the defund the police movement, 600 law enforcement officials attacked during recent rioting.

6:27 pm
600 cops assaulted during the protest. the psalm night your father was killed, i think four st. louis officers were shot. others were hit with rocks and fireworks and dozens of businesses were burglarized and damaged. what was your family's reaction to that? >> my reaction for that, it was really uncalled for. we were just, if the people were going out doing protesting, the peaceful protests i have no problem with that but the peaceful protests turned into looting and rioting and that was something that was really uncalled for and everything. like you said before, liz, four police officers in the scent louis metro area were shot and wounded that night. my dad was the one that ended up losing his life. so it was just really uncalled for. if it was a peaceful protest that would have been great. just protest peacefully. then go back to your homes and everything, then no one wouldn't have gotten hurt or wouldn't have lost their life like my
6:28 pm
father did. elizabeth: you know, brian, like your take on white house officials including ben carson saying you know, talking about, you know the defund the cops movement across the country. let's listen to ben carson here. i would like your reaction after the sound bite. watch this. >> the vast majority of police officers are very decent people and you have to recognize, important word i said there is people. they're people just like the rest of us. and every day they get up, they put that uniform on. they go out of that door, their husband or wife doesn't even know if they're going to be coming back. their cuds don't know if they're coming back. every time they stop a car they don't know what awaits them. it's a very stressful job. elizabeth: so, brian, can you talk about what ben carson just explained, what it is like for the men and women in blue, the thin blue line to get up every day, to put on a uniform, to serve their local community and
6:29 pm
their country? what type of person does that? >> it's a person that is just dedicated and loves what they're doing. my dad did it for 43 years. 38 with the st. louis metropolitan police department and five years as chief of police of the moline acres police department. he did it for 43 years, he has a passion for it. he had a love for it. and a person that gets up and does that job every day, they have to have the passion, they have to have that love for the job. and majority of the cops that do that job, they have passion and they have love for the job. so, definitely, that passion and, i've been experiencing it all my life. i mean, when my dad go out, i mean you never know if he is going to come back or make it back home that evening. so he took it to heart. he pushed it to the needle every single day when he went out there. when he put on the uniform, he had a sense of pride what he did

campaigns, pleading with xi to insure he would win. that is the end of the quote. >> absolutely untrue. never happened. i was there. i have no recollection of ever happening. i don't believe it is true. i don't believe it ever happened elizabeth: let's welcome republican jim banks of indiana. congressman serves on house armed services and veterans affairs. he is a former navy lieutenant who fought in afghanistan. great to see you, congressman. your reaction to this, robert lighthizer disputing john bolton? >> well, liz this is the worst type of get rich quick cheap that i have ever seen. i mean what we know, this is a sour grapes, kiss-and-tell book by mr. bolton. unfortunately i tate talking about it but there is a market out there for liberals to buy books like these to bash the president. they will hate the president so much they will go buy a book that demeans the president. what we know chairman xi and the
6:37 pm
chinese communist party want joe biden to win the presidential election in the fall. they don't want president trump to win. so these lighthizer had to say, what secretary pompeo had to say to dispute bolton's claim, show this book is probably not worth the price tag. elizabeth: well, you know, there was a anecdote in there that the president president supported china building prison camps for muslims. what you heard that, what was your reaction? that is getting a lot of negative feedback. people don't like that. they're saying that is morally repugnant. >> that is absolutely not true. this president's record holding china accountable and getting tough on china, the first president in my lifetime to stand up to china is very much in cone interests to these claims. overall this president's national security record is second to none. what he has done to rebuild the military, that president obama laid to waste. what he has done to pressure our nato allies to bring more money
6:38 pm
to the table and pay their fair share. what he has done overall to change the global discussion about china and bring others around to our point of view, that it is time to hold china accountable. this president's record is very strong. that is what is so disappointing about bolton's claims in this book. that he would-be tray this president. this president doesn't need a national security advisor but he brings people around him from different point of view. that is what he did in trusting john bolton to be his national security advisor and for bolton to betray him and betray that trust, in a way that he did is absolutely shameful. elizabeth: you know, here we have robert gates, he is the former head of the cia, former secretary of defense, robert gates is also pushing back on john bolton attacking president trump's approach to north korea. let's listen to robert gates here. >> well, i argue in the book that i favored president trump's
6:39 pm
overture to the north and being willing to meet with kim jong-un because frankly every other effort to limit the north korean nuclear capability over the past 25 years has failed. elizabeth: your take on robert gates there? >> secretary gates is absolutely light. this president got us out of wars rather than getting us into new wars like every other president has. former national security advisor bolton should know that more than anybody. his betrayal of the president as i said is reprehensible, is something i wish we didn't have to talk about because we are talking about it, there will be those that hate the president that will go out to purchase the book and that is truly unfortunate. elizabeth: all right. we've got now democrats saying they may subpoena john bolton for testimony. they're saying though he threw america under the bus and you can't trust him. what is reaction to the

yellow pads. looked like he was taking notes throughout the tenure for the book, that is the theory, what do you think? >> not like john bolton was there a couple months. he was there well over a year in his position. if you were horrified by everything you were seeing by the president and white house get out of there. that didn't make a whole lot of sense to me. think again what he is alleging. he said president trump thought it would be cool to actually invade venezuela, all right? so the president of the united states, the one currently in office, who pulled troops out of syria, pulling troops out of afghanistan, reducing troops in germany, suddenly wants to send u.s. forces into venezuela and get into an endless war there when that is exactly what he ran against? a lot of the book doesn't make a lot of sense. i would hope john bolton wouldn't get interviewed he is asked about things specifically and asked to provide any kind of proof. if he took all the notes i would

expect he would present them in real time but we haven't seen anything really about that yet. so look, this is where we are again. this doesn't move the needle though, liz. we've seen it with these books before. if you support the president you're not going to believe anything that john bolton has to say. if you don't like the president, all right you got a good book for the beach i guess you can fulfill whatever hatred you have for him when you go through these pages. elizabeth: but you know democrats led by nancy pelosi are now talking about bringing john bolton in under subpoena to testify. your take on that, final word? >> oh, well impeachment went really well, right? seems like it was five years ago. that was just in january. and president's poll numbers went up as much as 10 points. if you're going to start playing political games in this, call john bolton, do a big hearing, bombshell testimony it will not result in anything. democrats will again to be shown to be the party that isn't getting anything done for the american people. its just all about putting on political shows. that is exactly what that would be here, liz.

♪. elizabeth: former national security advisor john bolton will say in an upcoming abc interview to promote his memoir that is rocking washington that russian president vladmir putin thinks he can play president trump like quote a fiddle. welcome young americans for liberty analyst, kristin tate for her reaction. kristin, you're fired up about this one. what is your reaction? >> great to be with you, liz. nobody should be naive enough to believe that john bolton wrote this book and are making these
6:55 pm
claims out of a sincere desire to speak the truth. if bolton really believed trump posed an imminent threat to our country and national security, he would have told congress what he knew instead of waiting for a s&p. there has been a 32 million-dollar taxpayer-funded investigation into supposed collusion between trump and russia. bob mueller looked into it for two years and found nothing. the fact is russia is not the greatest threat to this country, china is. china completely controls the w.h.o. they continue to rip off our ip with impunity. they are horrible. they want world domination. they do not want to make this globe a better place, but the democrats, establishment media, many establishment republicans refused to acknowledge these truths because they don't fit in with the narrative constructed to harm trump and i think bolton is frankly angry trump refused to take his advice to get involved with every international conflict possible
6:56 pm
the way that previous administrations did, taking the advice from people like john bolton. in fact "the new york times" review of bolton's book said he thought the most irrational thing he witnessed trump or any president dough -- do not going to war with iran. he thought tha was the worse thing that trump did. trump deserves a lot of praise for resisting the urge to get involved in another bolton-backed conflict. elizabeth: kristin, you know what is interesting? john bolton did not give an affidavit even for the senate trial on impeachment. that is what reports are indicates. he went to the white house counsel and ag bar about his concerns and wouldn't step up to give information in the impeachment hearing. ken starr is saying if he was upset why, why didn't he quit? >> right. as your previous guest said, john bolton is at all times doing what is in the best interests of john bolton.
6:57 pm
at this point, liz we all should be thankful that bolton is criticizing trump from afar instead of making decisions about what country we're going to bomb next. he is, just going to get a ton of praise and a ton of glory for this book but ultimately he will always have the legacy of promoting expensive and brutal wars abroad but ultimately, it really doesn't matter what's in this book. it is not going to change much. voters are far more concerned with what impacting their daily lives right now. they're far more interested in the job market, coronavirus and its impacts and in the economy. so the media will try to blow up this story as much as possible and run with it, but it is really not going to change much when it comes to the decision voters are going to make. elizabeth: so bolton is a war hawk, he is a warmonger. he is hawkish, that is always been the take on john bolton. he is quoting president trump it was clear that russia's leader
6:58 pm
vladmir putin wanted out of syria. that putin liked benjamin netanyahu that bolton seemed not to care much way or the other about leaving iran nuclear deal although he would say russia would stay in. what is your reaction when you saw that out of bolton's book? >> ultimately, liz, we can't take any of this seriously. a lot of what bolton is saying probably isn't true. i also think it is quite telling by the way for years the media despised bolton. there is so much pushback against him becoming the ambassador to the u.n. in 2005. now they want us to take hum as being totally credible. they're going to make him into this big hero. the real story here is the priorities of the democrats and the media and frankly the priorities of bolton. voters can see right through it and trump voters they have had enough of this. we can see exactly what's going
6:59 pm
on. elizabeth: the democrats are undercutting it now. they're taking shots at bolton's credibility too though they want to subpoena him. final word, democrats want to subpoena bolton and have him for testimony. your final word on that. >> it won't mack much of a difference. it won't matter what bolton says or what he reseals. we don't know what is true or what is not. frankly nothing what he is talking about is most important to the country. what is most important to the country, our security and our economy. elizabeth: okay. kristin tate, always great to have you on, come back soon, you're a great writer too, kristin tate with just there. come back soon, kristin tate. i'm elizabeth macdonald. you have been watching "the evening edit" on fox business that does it for us. watch us tomorrow night as we stay on way more breaking headlines an news for you. we hope you have a good evening.
