affect under the order h1b visas for high-skilled workers that includes many workers in the tech industry and hb 4 given to their spouses. h2b visas given to seasonal workers. there is exception for those working in the food industry. visas for scholars, professors, executives at large corporations will be put on hold as part of this order. this action is temporary but it is a lead-up to sweeping overhaul of the visa process. the president wants immigration more merit-based as opposed to lottery systematic larly with h1b visas. a senior american station officials that h1b veeses could visa, would go to top salary workers. we're already hearing, liz, tech companies push back on this order, particularly about the h1b visas. amazon saying in a statement that they called this a

short-sighted action. preventing high-skilled workers from helping the u.s. economy to rebound actually putting america at a disadvantage when it comes to global competitive, global competitiveness. liz? elizabeth: okay. hillary vaughn, thank you so much. the president heading to arizona and wisconsin for more rallies this week. this after the news about 6200 people attended the president's comeback rally in tulsa on saturday night. according to the tulsa fire department. trump campaign says 12,000 got in, blaming covid virus and protesters. that is blamed on things like tiktok and k pop. these are viral trends on social media. let's welcome former trump 2016 campaign manager. he is corey lewandoski. great to have you back on, corey. corey, take this on first. you were on i think a new hampshire radio show, what,

don't overpromise that was a mistake for this rally. let's deal with this first. your reaction? >> yeah. my reaction is this, this was the largest audience that fox news has ever had between the hours of 8:00 and 10 p.m. on a weekend night. 1 [inaudible]. we can't overexamine every individual who may have not rsvped for the rally. the president had his opportunity to get hiss message out in tulsa directly to the american people with over 8.8 million people watching. that is what matters. elizabeth: millions of people watched it on the internet and on television. i want to get to the defining moment what is happening right now in the campaign. corey, our show, "the evening edit," we're going to take credit for. we were first out of the box in 2016 saying wait a second, the polls are wrong. the president likely then candidate trump will likely win. we saw action. we saw activity separate from the polls happening in the base

across the country. we picked it up and reported it on our show. we're seeing this defining moment happening right now the polls are just starting to pick it up. americans are fed up with the failed leadership of democrat-run cities. they're fed up with mobs taking over these cities when these leaders, corey, took an oath to preserve the peace and protect taxpayers who pay their paychecks. now, corey, major cities in the u.s., chicago, seattle, minneapolis, new york, reporting bloody weekends amid calls to defund and disband police departments. in new york city, a man was executed in broad daylight washing his car in brooklyn. 28 shootings since friday, double the rate last year. this is disturbing. this is the defining moment right now for both campaigns. corey, take it on. >> it absolutely is a defining moment. you didn't mention the 3-year-old baby shot and killed in chicago who once again, there will be no, no outcry from the

liberal left over this. look the truth is, the police officers have a very, very difficult job. this notion that we're going to defund the police where communities right now particularly our largest cities are seeing up tick in the crime rate, not just any crime rate but violent crime rate. we've seen more murders transpiring. more shootings are taking place. we don't needless police officers. we need more police officers. elizabeth: senator tom cotton is saying -- >> [inaudible] elizabeth: okay. i'm having technical difficulties. let me take this, corey. we've got the federal government now prosecuting more than 70 people arrested during the riots for things like vandalism, inciting looting through facebook live posts, arson. one case, murder. let's watch president trump say, talk about this, this will be a major campaign theme for 2020. this is something that democrats he is saying are not doing enough to stop. watch this.

>> if the democrats gain power, then the rioters will be in charge and no one will be safe and no one will have control. the murder rate in baltimore and detroit is higher than el salavador, guatemala, or even afghanistan. how they doing, the democrats running those cities? your whole country will be like that. in 2018 alone our police arrested nearly 12,000 people for murder and manslaughter. 25,000 people for rape and nearly 1.5 million for assault, violent assault. the democrats push against our police will drive up crime and drive up costs at levels you would never believe. elizabeth: on one hand joe biden saying president trump is divisive with his rhetoric.

joe biden not out on the campaign trail. no news conference in 80 days. yet to pick a vice president. is he pulling back from a val demmings vice-presidential choice because that person would be too tough on crime? daniel patrick moynihan, he said in the '70s, do not politicize, glorify mob violence and looting. don't do it. the american people don't want it. that led to the rise of ronald reagan. this is what is happening in the american campaign. the american people are fed up. they don't want it anymore, corey. what is your reaction. >> the american people want law and order. they want to know when they call 911 the first-responders come and come every single time. the american people know when police officers are in their communities and they're safer, that is what this president stands for. law and order. not destroying buildings and looting properties that will never be accepted in tolerant society. we are a tolerant nation but we're a nation of laws. elizabeth: corey lewandoski,

florida next week. certainly we'll have a vigorous campaign. you've seen the activity level that the vice president, and president have right now. unfortunately we look at the other side and i think there are legitimate questions that i think vice president biden is yet to face media in over 80 days and seems trapped inside of his basement at the moment. elizabeth: why is joe biden leading in the real clear average politics poll? that is average of multiple polls that biden is up by nine points? nate silver is saying if we believe the polls hillary clinton would have won. what is your take the read on biden being up right now. >> you know i heard a reminder from roughly labor day to election day last cycle there were 150 public polls and only seven had donald trump winning the presidency. so i think that there's in many cases pollsters failed to take into consideration many of the trump voters who have come into the electorate for the very first time. and i think that we're just focused continuing to deliver

results for the american people. woe think the polls will take care of themselves. so what that means, this president created over seven million new jobs before coronavirus hit our shores. and then we begin the great american comeback. we saw 2 1/2 million jobs created this month. we saw record retail number, 17% increase. if we keep delivering for the american people we're confident the rest will take care of itself. elizabeth: you know, the american people are scared about covid-19 and they're doubly scared of failure of local leadership and not keeping them safe from violent crime, now overtaking american cities. those cities led by democrat leaders. the major themes now unfolding. watch the president go after joe biden on jobs lost to trade. on education and on race. watch this. >> he has been there for 43 years or 47 years? he never did anything about it? biden's deported every globalist attack on the american worker.

let's make every country in the world rich but ourselves. including nafta, the disaster of nafta. he wanted to go and tpp would have ruined our automobile industry. korea. i renegotiated the deal. i took a horrible deal. that was a hillary clinton special, that was a hillary clinton special. she said we have to make this deal with south korea. it is going to mean 250,000 jobs and she was right, for south korea, 250,000 jobs. china's entry into the world trade organization was supported by "sleepy" joe biden. democrats want to raise your taxes, tell me about that. [booing] tell me about that. i guess i'm old-fashioned. you know, all my life, all my life, i heard politicians want to lower taxes not raise them. if you could lower them you coin lose. the democrats want to substantially raise your taxes.

elizabeth: okay. what do you think? you know is hitting all the themes right there. >> well you know, liz, i think donald trump was elected in many cases because hillary clinton represented the establishment. joe biden was elected to congress in 1972. 1972. he has been in washington, d.c. i think reality this president has begun to shake up that establishment order. he made changes. joe biden continues to support appeasement with china. this president has different answer. this president lowered taxes. this president reduced regulations. joe biden continues to listen to the left, if he modernized his policies, he listens to aoc on the environment and ilhan omar on policing. elizabeth: thanks for coming. come back soon. >> thanks for having me. elizabeth: media research, he is founder of media research center on nasty war of the memoirs. sarah sanders eviscerating

is the hero. abc, he was on there for an hour this is something you give to celebrity unless it is a person attacking donald trump. the last person somebody got that, treatment was, james comey, when he wrote a book attacking donald trump. now you have sarah sanders has got her explosive take in her book. do you think elizabeth, do you think she will be given an hour of time on prime-time television to tell her story? do you think the sarah sanders will be given five minutes to tell her story? john bolton is going after the president. so he is the star, liz. elizabeth: yeah. so let's go, i hear what you're saying, let's talk about what sarah sanders happened with john bolton. saying this within her mem march. bolton felt too important to travel on the bus with the rest of the team. he had his own motorcade. the team said that is pretty arrogant and selfish.

not even treasury secretary steve mnuchin had his own motorcade. mick mulvaney ripped it into john bolton, face it john you're a blanking self-righteous, self centered son of a blank. that is one thing happening. south korea is now disputing john bolton's take on what happened with the summit with north korea. south korea is saying john bolton, you distorted and twisted what happened. so jim jordan is pointing this out too. more people in the room besides john bolton talking about what happened. your take on that? >> well, look what you have just recited. there is an alphabet soup of administration officials who have come out with stories about john bolton that are quite negative. you've got international leaders that are now saying he is not telling the truth. you have got members of congress saying he is not telling the truth. all these things are things that the media themselves could have found, if the media were reporting the truth about john bolton. they have no interest in looking into whether or not he is telling the truth.

i repeat, the only thing they care about. the fact that he is attacking the president. and note. the only serious question he got, the only tough question he got in the abc interview, why didn't you had come after the president during the impeachment hearing? that is the toughest he got. these are all questions that the media could have asked. they could all have investigated all these untruths that are coming from john bolton. they have no interest in it whatsoever because he is going after the president? elizabeth: you know, we reported last week when the story broke that this might be a one-week story. brent, it is starting to look like the bolton book is a one-week story. democrats look like they are folding. they will not bring bolton in to testify. they talked about it to bring name again to go after the president. looks like democrats backing off of that. watch this. >> what john bolton has demonstrated, i think to the length and degree he indicts donald trump he also himself for cowardice and for greed because

there about people who did come forward, people like colonel vined man and who risked their career for years and he lacked patriotism. is was only greed made him come forward in the book. elizabeth: democrat jerry nadler say they may likely not call in john bolton. your take? >> something very smelly about john bolton and it is unfortunate. he sold his soul to the devil on this one. he is clearly trying to ingratiate himself with the press. no one likes a traitor. he is a traitor to the president he served. elizabeth: brent bozell, thanks for coming on. great to see you. >> thank you, liz. elizabeth: up next the story that the reports are coming in. the criminal probe of the trump russia probe may be out by the end of the summer. we've got news that a powerful republican senator is now demanding 143 pages of

unredacted emails and more from a little-known office at the pentagon that this senator says might behind, looks like it is behind the leaks to the media to fuel and sustain, to keep the probes into the trump team going when internally top obama intelligence officials, justice department officials saying their case is falling apart. former assistant u.s. attorney andrew mccarthy will break it down for us next. stay right there at fisher investments, we do things differently and other money managers don't understand why. because our way works great for us! but not for your clients. that's why we're a fiduciary, obligated to put clients first. so, what do you provide? cookie cutter portfolios? nope. we tailor portfolios to our client's needs. but you do sell investments that earn you high commissions,

♪. elizabeth: more on the criminal probe of the trump russia probe. republican senator chuck grassley, he is the powerful chairman of senate finance. he is now demanding answers from a little-known pentagon office, an office at the pentagon, that may behind the leaks to the media to fuel and sustain probes into people like michael flynn and also the trump russia probe. this when the fbi was admitting internally its case was falling apart. let's welcome former assistant

u.s. attorney for the southern district of new york. he is andrew mccarthy. great to have you back on, andrew. senator grassley, gave james baker the head of the net assessment office, at the pentagon a deadline of august 2nd to talk to him and his committee. what was your reaction when you first heard this story? >> i think, liz, they're clearly looking at two different things that have been big issues for a long time. they both surround general flynn and steph -- stefan halper who was the informant in the trump russia investigation. one thing who leaked the flynn, kislyak coverings, between general flynn when he was designated to be trump national security advisor and ambassador sergey kissimmee yak, who was the russian ambassador kislyak.

that was under fisa. all that stuff is classified. whoever gave that to david ignatius of "the washington post," conveyed classified information. they have been trying to look into information who did that. they know this guy baker, from the office of net assessment at the pentagon did have a relationship with ignatius and did exchange messages with him. they haven't connected the dots that he is the one. i think flynn's attorney, sydney powell made that allegation but i don't know that they have proved it. look, ignatius has a lot of sources and leak investigations are really hard. elizabeth: yeah. >> we'll see where that goes but they're clearly looking at that i think the other thing they're looking at is, halper did these studies for the office of net assessment look like they're a little bit fishy but they paid him an awful lot of money. of course the thing you wonder is, did they, was this the way that they paid him to do the

informant work that he did for the fbi in trying to get at papdopoulus and carter page and the others who he was used to, as a informant to try to infiltrate the trump campaign? so was that the means -- elizabeth: got it. we got james baker at the net assessment office saying he wasn't behind it. they're denying it. the backdrop is this, people in government were leaking to the media when the fbi, late as 2016, early 2017 said we don't have a case. rod rosenstein said they knew at that time they didn't have a case. james clapper testified in july 2017. we had no empirical evidence to connect trump to russian conspiracy. lisa page, peter strzok said words to that effect as well. they didn't have a case. so what happens is government officials start leaking to the media so they could say, look,

here is "the washington post" story. here is the "new york times" story. we got to keep these probes going. and so that was the play there we're seeing in the documents of how these probes were fueled and sustained. we didn't have evidence, andrew, when it was falling apart. you reported that stefan halper was called on to spy for the trump campaign and he worked at net assessment office. you see different areas of the government called in to spy on the trump campaign. that is what it feels like when you look on the outside, andrew. your take? >> i wrote a book about this, liz, about a year ago. what i think happened is, they didn't expect trump to win although they did start to sow the seeds for this trump russia connection before the election but i think once trump did win, they knew that in 10 weeks he was going to take over the government and he would have

access to all the intelligence files. he would know the investigation they had done on his campaign. so they used that 10 weeks in order to project the impression that there really was a trump russia conspiracy that needed to be worried about and investigated and i think that is what all these leaks were about. elizabeth: yeah. president trump, let's listen, andrew, to president trump saying he never knew how bad the quote, swamp was, saying that it is pretty awful. watch this. >> like me and washington, draining the swamp. i never knew it was so deep but it its happening. [cheers and applause] it's happening. i never knew it was so deep. it is deep and thick and a lot of bad characters. elizabeth: the question is, andrew, does, does the american taxpayer want to pay for stuff like that? >> i sure hope not. and i think the most irresponsible part of this we actually do need these counterintelligence powers to

protect the country against jihadists and people that want to kill americans. to see them abused like this for this purpose is really bad because they have left their constituency on capitol hill. elizabeth: andrew mccarthy. always great to have you on. thank you so much for your insights and your perspective. great to have you on. good to see you. >> thank you. elizabeth: okay. we're going to stay on this story. growing questions in washington. new details coming forward, questioning why exactly was robert mueller appointed to do the mueller probe when the fbi knew the case was falling apart? we've got more on government officials using a obscure and rarely cited laws to go after the trump team. this probe veered off the rails away from trump russia conspiracy. we are digging into the documents, digging into the footnotes as we have been doing for three years now. we're going to talk to walid phares, i knows better than most americans what it is like to be unfairly targeted by

♪ elizabeth: okay. welcome back. we've been digging into the government documents and the footnotes. it's a story we've been covering for three years. we're now seeing growing questions in washington over why the mueller probe was launched to begin with after fbi officials and doj officials say by early 2017 the fbi and doj had not turned up any evidence in the trump russia probe to connect there was a conspiracy. so did former fbi director james comey arrange via media leaks to get special counsel mueller appointed based on obscure violations of never, rarely-used law like the farrah law and the logan act? welcome former trump campaign foreign policy advisor, current fox news national security and foreign policy analyst, walid

fair rest. walid, what did you think? >> thank you, liz, for having me. basically yes, from the perspective of general analysis. many experts, i'm one of them, if it was not the russia trump campaign connection, so what was it about? most likely it was about foreign policy as well. it was about an obama foreign policy specifically in my own view, the iran deal that they were concerned about, they were the architects of the iran deal were very concerned that the next administration, mr. trump, president trump now, would change it, would cancel it and that they as you had discussed earlier, there was no idea that he would win. but when he won, there was sort of a scrambling to make sure that there will be measures taken to protect that iran deal. that would be one of the theories developed right now. elizabeth: let's go through it. what happened was in early 2017, comey would later testify in july of 2017, that when he left, the fbi, there was no active

investigation into president trump. james clapper testified in 2017, july, that there was no empirical evidence connecting trump russia conspiracy. same language to the effect from peter strzok and lisa page. so then you have a farrah probe, meaning that george papdopoulus, michael flynn, you know, you had paul manafort accused of basically violating obscure laws. critics say these obscure laws, few have ever been charged with violations of these laws. the far raw act you didn't register with federal government as being lobbiest for the federal government. logan act. there was investigations into a political component when there was no there there as rod rosenstein said? >> investigating farrah laws, logan act, these laws have not been applied thoroughly.

assuming these are laws and need to be investigated. what is the link between the trump russia campaign link? there isn't. what has happened, once the agencies concluded at the end of 2016, as far as we understand now, early 2017, that there was no connection between russia and the campaign in terms of affecting policy, then probably somewhere one level we don't know, there was a shift to look at those little cases of farrah or logan act or others, basically taxation would -- elizabeth: stay on that. >> yes. elizabeth: stay on that for a second. i'm sorry to interrupt. so if there is no there there, why was mueller appointed special counsel to look into what? if the fbi didn't have a case, if you have no evidence then why was mueller even appointed as special counsel to probe trump russia collusion? pause the trump russia fbi probe was launch as a farrah violation because george papdopoulus was

goss upping with a russian diplomat over drinks in a london pub. that the democrats hacked emails and they could come trump's way. that was a farrah violation. you see they didn't have a trump russia conspiracy case there, see what i mean? so why was mueller appointed? elizabeth: >> i testified to the senate myself, i testified to the senate, to the house, i made the case as analyst, not only as witness. that is not the way russia operates. you can't have in few months russia leadership influence american campaign to influence half the american people. never been before and it can't be. so the russia connection was not even logical to be there. russia has different ways to influence. therefore i agree with your point, they may have shifted to the farrah violation because there was nothing in the russia connection. elizabeth: yeah. and i'll tell you there were eight, there were many farrah violation criminal prosecutions on the obama administration as

there were in the prior, 40 year period from the mid '60s to 2015. so that is what was going on. they really ramped it up using this obscure law nobody has been charged with. walid, thank you for being on. thank you very much for your perspective. really appreciate it. >> thank you, liz. elizabeth: next up to another defining issue for 2020. we're bringing on republican mark green from homeland security on president trump. he is going to visit the border. this is about border security. this is about safety for americans. it's a western issue in elections historically. we'll talk about it with congressman mark green next ...what's going on in corporate america and what investors are believing is going on in corporate america. the message to you: don't trade because you think you're gonna to get rich quick. because you...

♪. elizabeth: okay. welcome back. president trump is scheduled to visit yuma, arizona, tomorrow to mark the completion of the 200th mile of the border wall between the u.s. an mexico. acting department of homeland security secretary chad wolf will be joining him along with acting dhs deputy secretary ken cuccinelli. and customs border protection acting commissioner mark morgan also expected to attend. talk about it with republican mark green from homeland security. it is great to have you on, congressman. there is a lot of hot debate about the border wall. border officials tell us, yes it

helps, it stops crime, stops human smuggling, it stops sex trafficking, it stops drugs. they say the border wall works. what do you say? >> absolutely, i agree 100%. we have to listen to the professionals do do this every day. that border wall, i been there, the watched, the board catalyzes certain people into certain traffic areas which allows cpb to concentrate limited personnel. you have the third brigade of the 101st airborne division right now from my hometown on the border providing observation and assisting the cpb people. all of these assets combined, the wall is a very important part of that, protect our southern border and protect people. they protect even immigrants attempting to come into the country. it protects them too. so it's a good idea. elizabeth: we've been covering the border for years now. we have been covering how much

fentanyl is crossing the southern border, just, you know, a micro sample of fentanyl can kill so many people. hard drugs crossing the border. child sex trafficking crossing the border. and more. women being assaulted at the border. a crime south of the border per capita is higher than areas of the middle east. go ahead, congressman. >> yeah. so when you think of just the amount of fentanyl that has come across the southern border its an enormous amount. it is enough to kill millions of americans and we, we actually know that that fentanyl is coming across not only at those border crossings but other places as well. the clearly the fence prevents that. it, it forces those people to use higher trafficked areas. it equips cpb to be a part of stopping that fentanyl, stopping the sex trafficking, you know, stopping the cartels which are trying to control that border.

so it, having that border up, that wall is really important. clearly. elizabeth: take on democrats saying that this border wall is racist when we have had immigrant community members on our show, police immigrant and minority police officers saying, no, it stops crime that hits minority communities and hits immigrant communities, often the first ones are hit of those communities. what is your reaction to democrats saying that the border wall is quote, racist? >> it is very interesting. if you look what happened in this autonomous area in seattle, the first thing they did was put up a border wall to protect their little fiefdom that they have created. walls do protect and they protect everybody who is inside. i'm confident that san diego, who has had a wall up is appreciative that the latino, that the african-american, that

the caucasian american, all those communities, all those communities are protected by that wall. it is not racist to have a wall. it's ridiculous and democrat talking point to stop what really makes sense. what democrats in the past have clearly supportive of, president clinton, president obama, were all for building a border wall. elizabeth: yeah. there are 700 plus miles of wall in europe. congressman, great to have you on. thanks very much. >> thanks for having me. elizabeth: sure, come back soon. i'm elizabeth macdonald. you've been watching "the evening edit" on fox business. well that does it for us. thank you so much for watching. join us tomorrow night. we'll stay on lots of headlines for you. we hope you have a good evening. thanks, again you tomorrow.
