9:00 pm
see, i'm real. i'm real! he thinks he's real. geico. over 75 years of savings and service. >> shannon: if you are just joining us, it's a "fox news @ night" live special. extended coverage of the first 2020 democratic primary debates. i'm shannon bream in miami. we are live for another hour of analysis, plenty of experts. including members of the president trump campaign and the new latinos for term coalition. stay tuned. this however going to tackle some of the top issues the candidates plans for immigration, economy, and more. let's go in our chief national correspondent ed henry. he's been working that spin roo room. what have you gone? >> there are still a lot of candidates here working the media in the spin room in miami, trying to make the case for why
9:01 pm
they had a big night. elizabeth warren showed up a moment or so ago. she's kind of the front runner going in. elizabeth warren, might want at least. she's the top poll getter. joe biden and bernie sanders tomorrow night. biden did not come up that all, not mentioned by the moderators, not mentioned by any of the ten candidates on the stage. what does it mean? when you talk to someone like julian castro quite a pretty good night by the estimation of a lot of democratic strategists in the room, meeting broke out a little bit and indicates a second look. castro and others are saying that they think it shows biden wasn't mentioned because it's a wide-open race and that it's anyone's to have. what was going on tonight, i spoke a moment to go to tim ryan from ohio. were going to get you that interviewing a few moments. he told me think that shows that biden is maybe not as strong a front runner is a lot of people
9:02 pm
in the media are expecting. ryan told me he wants to talk about the issues that matter in states like ohio, the forgotten man, forgot woman that president trump talked a lot about to win in 2016. the problem for democrats tonight, shannon, is that a lot of the democrats on the stage were not talking about the forgotten man and woman. not necessarily talking about the middle class. they were talking about high taxes, medicare for all, green new deal. listen to what they were talking about. >> when you've got a government, you've got an economy that does great for those with money and isn't doing great for everyone else, that's corruption, pure and simple. we need to call it out. we need to attack it head-on and we need to make structural change in our government, in our economy, and in our country. >> this is supposed to be the party of working people. yes were supposed to be for 70% tax rate on the wealthy. yes were supposed to be for free
9:03 pm
college, free public college for our young people. we are supposed to break up big corporations when they are not serving our democracy. this democratic party has to be strong and bold and progressive. it is not right that the ceo of mcdonald's makes 2,100 times more than the people slinging hash at mcdonald's. >> a lot of democrats in the room telling me tonight they were surprised by how fiery bill de blasio was, pretty low on the polls, around 1%. really came out and struck the ground, tried to stake out some ground on the hard left, the progressive wing, socialist democrats up for grabs here. talking about the 1%, talking about class warfare. i mention julian castro, where he broke out was on the issue of immigration and what was interesting as it wasn't just about castro rising. it was about may be beto o'rourke falling down. he was the media darling on the cover of "vanity fair," predicted to be the next barack obama. instead he has struggled a bit in early days and it appeared
9:04 pm
that on issues like immigration a was not quite prepared. watch. >> i think it's a mistake, beto. i think it's a mistake and if you truly want to change the system, we have to repeal the section. if not, it might as well be the same policy. >> let me respond briefly. as a member of congress, helped introduce legislation that would ensure that we don't criminalize those who are seeking asylum. >> the questionnaire from the moderators was what would you specifically do on day one or your first 100 days to actually deal with the border crisis? in the case of castro, he was talking about a section of the law that he would change that would specifically decriminalize border crossings. it's very controversial but he has something specific. in the case of overwork, he never quite answered what he would specifically do. interesting because while castro may have done well on immigration, on -- jay inslee, e governor of washington state, came out swinging on abortion rights and said no one on the stage had done more to push the
9:05 pm
pro-choice agenda than him and amy klobuchar, one of the three women on the state, said hang on a second. i think the three women have done just as much or more. she was here a moment ago in the spin room saying she thinks she had a big night because of that and then jay inslee looked a little bit small. shannon. >> shannon: okay, so ed, one of the interesting things that we talked about earlier to follow is what happens in social media and twitter has put out some data on what they say were some spikes of the night. the immigration policy discussion with booker answering in spanish. also elizabeth warren, big moment when she was asked and several candidates were, after the president but mitch mcconnell still the senate majority leader, do you have a plan to do with him and her response, i do. you remember the moment when she said it. laughter and applause about it. the broadcast difficulties. it's interesting to see those of the things that are spiking people's attention. >> you're right. i mentioned beto o'rourke having need be a bit of a struggle
9:06 pm
tonight. that was another moment where you heard in the media, i can tell you there were groans when he kicked off and started talking spanish. and then he flipped back to english. cory booker, yes, he answered a question later on. he kind of rolled his eyes at beto o'rourke, if you were about earlier. but then booker himself, senator from new jersey, he spoke briefly in spanish later in the night. i can tell you beyond that back and fourth in the talk on social media, i've seen cory booker running around the spin room a lot. were going to try to catch up with him in a moment. he's had a wide grin. maybe we'll see what the voters think, what the polls say but i think the grin on his face, he thinks at least that he had a big night. as you mentioned earlier when you look at the data, booker had a chance to talk more than any of the other candidates. he's got a big smile because he thinks he had a big night, shannon. >> shannon: all right, ed henry. we will check back with you. keep us updated in the spin room.
9:07 pm
two hours of progressive ideas tonight including a call out of the gate for structural change to the government and economy. >> we need to make structural change in our government, our economy, and in our country. >> i think we should be the party that keeps what's working and fixes was not. >> [speaking spanish] >> private insurance is not working for tens of millions of americans. >> they can choose medicare. >> saying i have the courage to go after them. >> there is three women appear that have fought pretty hard for a woman's right to choose. >> shannon: let's turn to mo elleithee and senior vice president at america rising, alexander wilkes. welcome to you both. you all have chosen some moments that you think stand out for yo you. this is about health care which
9:08 pm
got a lot of attention tonight. >> would you replace private insurance? >> noel. i think the choice is fundamental to our ability -- >> private insurance is not working for tens of millions of americans when you talk about the co-pays, deductibles, premiums, out-of-pocket expenses, it's not working. how do you defend something that's not working? >> we should give everyone in this country health care is a basic human right for free, full. we should also give them the option to buy private insurance. why do we have to stand for taking away something from people? spew on one of the places where we saw a split in the field. >> i think what was interesting is that we finally saw senator elizabeth warren take a position on the issue. she has sort of been all over the place when it comes to health care. she's evaded the question about whether or not she supports eliminating private insurance. when she discusses her support
9:09 pm
for something like medicare for all but she was one of the candidates who definitively raised her hand when that question was asked. i think -- it's a stark moment for the democratic primary. this is not a moment you would've seen in 2016. it shows you how far left the democratic party has moved that we are talking about taking away the insurance, 180 million americans. >> he thought senator warren had good points. >> when you've got a government, an economy that does great for those with money and isn't doing great for everyone else, that is corruption, pure and simple. we need to call it out. we need to attack it head-on and we need to make structural change in our government, and our economy, and in our country. >> shannon: mo, to a lot of
9:10 pm
people that sounds sweeping. she simply going for the far left part of that party? or is there part of her thinking ahead to the general? >> it's a general election play because i think what you hear there is the beginning of a concerted democratic message to answer donald trump. when donald trump says the economy is soaring, what you heard elizabeth warren do in her very first answer of the night was say yeah but working for who? this economy is not working for everybody. it's working for the top. it's working for the 1%. it's working for big corporations. it's not working for everybody. that is sort of the heart of the populist message and movement that swept donald trump into office. now you're single elizabeth warren and democrats more broadly trying to cough it and make it their own. we will see how successful it is. what she did tonight by making
9:11 pm
it her first answer was set the tone for the economic discussion for the rest of the debate and i think it served her well. >> shannon: there were a lot of expectations on her tonight. mo thinks she lived up to it. alex, thank you for weighing in. great to have you. the trump campaign war room is firing out rapid responses to the democratic candidates while president trump is on his way to japan. leland vittert is in washington with the latest. >> good evening. it's unclear how much of the debate the president watched on air force one en route to japan in a refueling stop in alaska, he headed out on the summer afternoon to talk to the troops. >> president trump: big debate, just started. i had my choice between you and them but i chose you. i chose you over the debaters. you are smarter than they are. better looking. >> a few minutes later, he summed up his early thoughts on the debates in a single word,
9:12 pm
boring. he was paying enough attention about 30 minutes later, an hour into the debate and noticed an audio issue and called out nbc's production as "truly unprofessional." much of today's political conversation revolved around this picture of a father at his daughter who drowned in the rio grande river trying to make it to america. today the president approved a plan -- humanitarian aid and border needs. >> i hated it and i knew it could stop immediately if the democrats change the law. they have to change the law. and then that father who probably was a wonderful guy with his daughter, things like that wouldn't happen. >> is how the images -- we saw the images. it's heartbreaking. it should also piss us all off.
9:13 pm
>> that got quite a response. tomorrow the president will be in japan and an important note on the optics, while the president is a common target of the democratic hopefuls, conceivably it will happen tomorrow as well. a few things -- few things look more presidential than walking down the steps of air force one. that happens about six hours from now. >> shannon: leland vittert in washington, thank you for the update. the migrant crisis is at a climax, serving as a backdrop to the first democratic debate. those images that leland talked about. how the 2020 hopefuls fueled the flames on that conversation. when we return. ne thing hurting us millennials more than student loans: credit card debt. but with a personal loan from sofi, you can consolidate your credit card debt into one monthly payment. get your money right with sofi.
9:14 pm

9:17 pm
we like drip coffee, layovers- -and waiting on hold. what we don't like is relying on fancy technology for help. snail mail! we were invited to a y2k party... uh, didn't that happen, like, 20 years ago? oh, look, karolyn, we've got a mathematician on our hands! check it out! now you can schedule a callback or reschedule an appointment, even on nights and weekends. today's xfinity service. simple. easy. awesome. i'd rather not.
9:18 pm
>> it's heartbreaking. it should also piss us all off. they are playing games with people coming seeking asylum. >> [speaking spanish] >> rewrite our immigration laws in our own image. >> shannon: illegal immigration playing a pivotal role in tonight's debate. we are joined by alfredo ortiz, he's a member of the latinos for trump coalition. we want to get reaction from him. thank you for being with us, sir. your initial reactions of that discussion. >> i think overall, we could start with -- if you could get past some of the broken spanish a lot of the candidates were using to pander to the latino vote. if you look past that, overall it was a lot of the same socialist agenda items they have listed off before. nothing new here. the green raw deal, as we call it.
9:19 pm
in terms of immigration, what this really is, it's all about inaction. obviously there was a very disturbing photo that we have seen today, heartbreaking. what it really points to directly is the inaction of congress. for years and years, nothing's happened in terms of immigration policy. the only thing president trump has really been trying to do is force congress to say, bring me a policy that works for this country that works for everybody, that's fair. bring it to me. the senate voted on an immigration or at least of border funding policy today, the bill passed 84-8. that's probably about as bipartisan as we can find. the house also passed something similar. it's never going to pass on the house side. the humanitarian aid, $3 billion, have the house pick up the bill, get it passed, get it to the president for him to sign and get the conversation moving so we don't have more
9:20 pm
images like we had today. >> shannon: yeah, that's the last thing anybody wants. it's been a moment that's galvanized people on both sides. there has been blame on both sides for why each party has not been able to get something done. part of the conversation tonight was also about whether or not it should be decriminalized, the idea of coming across the border illegally, whether it's seeking asylum, seeking to escape any number of different situations. what do you make of that conversation that maybe it will be decriminalized should one of the candidates when the white house? >> obviously i'm not an immigration expert from that perspective but i know the lack of border security is causing major issues. we represent people and it's causing major issues by having drugs in the cartels coming through the border. it's something that we need to have tighter border security on. in terms of decriminalization, i leave that to the experts.
9:21 pm
we know we need tighter border security. a lot of the communities we are talking about, especially latino communities, they are being terrorized by these cartels on the drug dealers and we've got to stop the flow. it's critical from a community standpoint to make sure that we address it. that's what president trump is really trying to do here, really address a lot of these issues that are happening especially in these communities. i think quite frankly in 2020, the hispanic community is going to come out strong for president trump because he is really wrapping his arms around some of the major issues that quite frankly the democrats are just basically taking for granted is nonissues to the hispanic community. >> shannon: well, we have seen his number is improved with that community, still have a ways to go. thank you very much. julian castro stopped in -- live next. ♪
9:26 pm
>> shannon: welcome back to "fox news @ night," extended coverage of the first 2020 democratic primary debate. we are live from the spin room. coming up, you will hear from that trump 2020 campaign press secretary, get reaction to tonight. we are joined by former hud secretary julian castro who had some memorable moments tonight. talking about decriminalizing illegal border crossings. great to have you with us. i want to play your back and forth with beto o'rourke. he is our little bit of that discussion. >> that's actually not true. a lot of folks coming are not seeking asylum. a lot of them are undocumented immigrants. you said recently that the reason you didn't want to repeal section 1325 was because you are concerned about human trafficking. >> if you did your homework on that -- >> shannon: that was one of the moments where there were two candidates going directly at
9:27 pm
each other. what message are you hoping to accomplish? >> that if we want to end family separations which is a cruel practice, we need to repeal section 1325 of the immigration and nationality act because that is the law that allows the u.s. government to incarcerate parents and then separate those little children from their parents. i know some folks here that they think what are you talking about? actually from about 1929 until l 2004, we used to treat these things as civil violations. in the vast majority of cases. this is not something radical. it's not something that we didn't used to do. people are still, they would still have to show up in court. they are still subject to deportation or if they are claiming asylum, there asylum claim will be heard but my immigration plan would end this cruel practice of separating little children from their families the point that i was making in that exchange is that
9:28 pm
congressman o'rourke's plan does not do that and i said -- i respect congressman o'rourke. i supported him when he ran against senator ted cruz. that he clearly had not done his homework. he said he wanted to keep that section of the law and place to stop human trafficking and drug trafficking. we have other laws for that and i was glad congressman tim ryan agreed with me and that senator warren and senator booker and others agreed. >> shannon: what do you think about the conversation, there's confusion about policy. people who know if they show up as family units whether their children are theirs or not, that they're going to be treated differently. there's a limit on the time people can be held. people are figuring out how to game the system and cartels are taking advantage. they are exploiting people with confusing message. the people becoming victims, like the horrific picture we saw of the young father and his young daughter that's broken everyone's heart.
9:29 pm
are you hopeful that republicans and democrats can get something done? >> i believe so. i believe we can get something done. my vision for how we fix our broken immigration system is different from this president's. i believe we can maintain border security. we have 654 miles of fence. we have thousands of people of the border, personnel of the border. my home state of texas ad thought that with another $800 million that he of border security. we have planes, boats, guns, security cameras. we can maintain a secure border. what we shouldn't do is treat people with utter cruelty. i believe we should use common sense and compassion instead of cruelty. all of us saw the image yesterday of a gentleman and his 23-month-old daughter. they were face down in a river,
9:30 pm
drowned. the reason they tried to cross the river was because this administration is playing games with people who go to the ports of entry to seek asylum. they went to a port of entry, trying to get into seek asylum and they were turned away. they got so frustrated that they risked their lives trying to cross the river and they died. the minute i become president, i would end that policy. >> shannon: you worry about how incendiary it comes across to people. you're pointing that picture to a specific person, the president, is that what you're doing? >> the policies caused a lot of these people to do what they should do, they come to the port of entry. if somebody came to the port of entry and they asked to claim asylum, they were allowed to do it. now they're being denied. never mind the internationally it's recognized in any country, doesn't matter who you are, if you're america or another country, you should recognize asylum claims. it doesn't everybody -- mean everyone is going to get asylum but you should recognize the
9:31 pm
claim because this administration has started stopping that when playing games with people, that's why so many more people are risking trying to come across the river. >> shannon: they say they are trying to reestablish rule of law. we hope there will be common ground so we never have to see a repeat of that picture. i think we can agree on that. >> what i do agree with, doesn't matter whether you're conservative or liberal, we saw that picture it rips our hearts out. >> shannon: thank you, julian castro. let's go to our chief national correspondent ed henry. >> two of the more moderate candidates, tim ryan and john delaney, ohio and maryland, they are trying to pull their party to the center but what's interesting is as someone who's old enough to remember covering the 2015 and 2016 democratic debates and bernie sanders was sort of the outlier were his socialist ideas were considered pie-in-the-sky by many in the media and even some democrats,
9:32 pm
that's now a starting point in the 2019-2020 democratic debates and i can tell you that tim ryan and john delaney just told me that they are worried that if the party goes too far left, they're going to lose to president trump. you're making the case on manufacturing jobs and paychecks new age's and yet we heard 70% taxes and let's end private health insurance. it sounds like a left turn let's not in the part of the country. >> my focus is on jobs. there's a huge concentration of wealth. top 1% have more wealth than the bottom 90%. that's unsustainable. i think we do have to ask the wealthiest to pay more but we also need to cut workers -- solar, wind, drive investments and cut workers in on the deal. i don't like the fact that all we talk about his 15 bucks an hour. we want workers to make 30, 40, 50 bucks an hour and that's with
9:33 pm
these jobs would provide. >> medicare doesn't pay the cost of health care. it's been well-documented. private insurance pays 115%. >> medicaid, medicare. in many ways the cost of health care is supported by private insurance. it's not that i love private insurance but i like our health care system to work. rural america where hospitals are barely hanging on and you make them medicare reimbursement, they all close. >> what does that say about the democrats that you're fighting and saying guys, what about free enterprise? >> i have a plan to get every single american health care is a basic right for free but what i don't say is that i want to take away people's private insurance. half of our seniors have some thing called medicare advantage which they can choose for free. it's private insurance.
9:34 pm
last year in washington, governor inslee, 70% of seniors chose pedicure advantage. imagine saying to seniors were going to take it away. >> elizabeth warren and bill de blasio want to do it, saying that they want to end private insurance. >> a message that is its political suicide. republicans will spend a billion dollars communicating to the american people what it's going to do to them, huge anxiety, the number one issue. >> you heard from john delaney who in his summation in his first debate said he thinks has party should stick to fixing the problems that need to be fixed and then staying out of the way of private enterprise, the free market system. he seems frustrated because you heard, he said if you go down the road of ending private health insurance, it will be political suicide for democrats. shannon.
9:35 pm
>> shannon: as new york city mayor bill de blasio told me earlier that he thinks they should go big and progressive and do it but john delaney is the other voice. ed, thank you very much. they're going to hear from the trump campaign, their reaction next. this is not a bed. it's a revolution in sleep. the sleep number 360 smart bed is on sale now during our lowest prices of the season. it senses your movement, and automatically adjusts to keep you both comfortable. it even helps with this. so you wake up ready to hit the ground running. it's the lowest prices of the season. the queen sleep number 360 c4 smart bed is now $1299, save $400. plus, 0% interest for 36-months. ends saturday. sleep number. proven, quality sleep.
9:37 pm
9:39 pm
>> shannon: the president is on his way to the g20 summit in japan while the house and senate appeared to be playing ping-pong with different versions of the emergency border funding bill. news on iran. mark meredith is checking it out. he's live in washington. >> good morning. tonight the white house has unveiled president trump schedule for the g20 summit in japan. we've learned he's going to be meeting with leaders from three
9:40 pm
countries, japan, india and germany. the president left washington on wednesday afternoon. had a brief stop in alaska. this is video from that refueling stop over. the president has a lot less -- has a lot on his agenda. he encouraged iran to negotiate with the u.s. two days after the u.s. imposed new sanctions on iran top leaders. >> iran should do the right thing for their people. i'm not sure that their leaders care for their people. if they do, they will make a deal. if they don't, they are just thinking about themselves. they are selfish and stupid if that's what they're doing. >> later this morning, house lawmakers will return to work to debate a bill to bring humanitarian aid to the u.s. border. house lawmakers passed a bill to do just that earlier this week but this tenant refused to push the house plan forward. instead, approving their own
9:41 pm
bill. the bills provide over $4 billion in aid to assist government agencies that have been handling migrants. also on wednesday, the faa announced he found a new issue with the boeing 737 max jets. the jetliner remained grounded after two deadly crashes that killed over 300 people. reports that the faa found a problem with the software. it's not clear when test flights will launch or when the jet would reenter commercial service. united airlines has it's going to have to cancel 60 flights a day, additional cancellations until at least early september. it should make for a mess of the travel season. >> shannon: absolutely. mark meredith in d.c., thank yo thank you. as expected in the debate, there were some attacks on president trump. >> everybody in this crowd and watching at home knows that in our country today, a person who has to chooses under assault.
9:42 pm
>> we lost jobs that are general motors facility that rippled throughout our community. >> it was a mistake to pull out of that deal. donald trump is marching us to a far more dangerous situation. >> this president is literally every single day 10 minutes from going to war, one tweet away from going to war. >> shannon: let's bring in fox news contributor leslie marshall and kaylee mcnamee. it was inevitable that we would hear comments about the president tonight. they attacked him on everything from screwing up immigration to gun control. they talked a lot about how he's created a divisive, hateful conversation about a number of topics. he's not here to respond. what do you say? >> it's ridiculous. they are always going to attack president trump. it's what they love to do. what's amazing is they are
9:43 pm
running against the trump economy. i've never met a group of people who are willingly admit they are running against the most successful economy in modern history. it's incredible some things you heard. we think debates should be an in-kind contribution to the campaign because it was the best advertisement we could ever get with decriminalizing border crossings, limitless abortion, running against the trump economy, abolishing private health care. you can't make this stuff up. radical government takeover uttered from a debate stage. thank you, democrats, for the contribution to trump 2020. we greatly appreciate it. >> shannon: what about that, leslie? very progressive ideas and pronouncements on stage and conservatives are going to say it actually helps the president. it's too far left for the average american. >> you have to remember these are democratic debates really for democrats to determine who's
9:44 pm
going to be the democratic nominee. this is not a general election which is why you see historically a democrat coming to the center once the general election comes around. it's one of the reasons joe biden said what he said about the hyde amendment. i think you might see him change his mind again frankly. i didn't see a lot of attacking of the president. elizabeth warren didn't mention his name once. i think amy klobuchar had the most, it was six. did they talk about policies, yes. i didn't see a lot of attacking of the man. i think amy klobuchar did when she had referenced to his bathrobe. you heard her in the clip about iran. i saw booker talking about integration programs. that's what democrats are going to do which is what republicans do which is a this is how i would do things differently.
9:45 pm
kaylee, i would agree with one thing. we have a strong economy and polls show democrats know that we have a strong economy. i didn't see anybody saying the economy is bad. >> oh, i did. >> i saw people talking about how they would do things differently and address income inequality. >> shannon: we did have a number of people, and mayor de blasio sat here next to me saying it's not working for average people. you can point to statistics and numbers but he claims people in their real lives are not feeling the benefits. >> go ahead. i didn't know which one of us. >> i was going to say i heard a number of lies from the democratic debate stage. these individuals were either napping through the donald trump presidency or intentionally misleading. you had elizabeth warren talking about paychecks not going out. is she living in la-la land? they're going up at the fastest rate in a decade.
9:46 pm
then you had cory booker say small businesses are hurting. wait, except we have the greatest small business confidence on record. they intentionally are misleading the nation but the nice thing is you cannot change what someone sees in their paycheck, what someone feels of the dinner table and what someone sees materializing their everyday work life. they can lie on the democratic debate stage but is not going to work on people feel that success. cnn says 75% of the trump economy. >> shannon: we are out of time. were going to do it again tomorrow night. we will have another round of analysis. thank you both. stay right there. much more to come they really appreciate the military family and it really shows. with all that usaa offers why go with anybody else? we know their rates are good, we know that they're always going to take care of us. it was an instant savings and i should have changed a long time ago. it was funny because when we would call another insurance company, hey would say "oh we can't beat usaa" we're the webber family. we're the tenney's

>> shannon: the president tweeted the degree can follow marc lotter. marc lotter is with us and richard fowler. they join us. >> clearly the winner of tonight's debate was president donald trump and i gave second-place to mitch mcconnell. every time democrats are talking policy tonight, the american people tuned out then they realized how great they have it under president trump. >> [laughs] >> shannon: richard, were you
9:51 pm
also tweeting? you are chuckling. where your tweeting? what you take away? >> i was tweeting. that's laughable at best. here's what we saw, complicated standing out. former hud secretary and former mayor of san antonio, he talked about immigration. having a humane immigration system. we also saw cory booker stand out when he talked about how we make sure the system works for everybody, not just the chosen few, including trans women of color. elizabeth warren talked about how we make sure the economy works for every american and yes the trump economy is working but is it working for every america american? the trump economy is not working for 2000-some odd counties. >> shannon: okay. let's bring marc in. a number of issues, as richard said, that it's not working. networking for all americans. corporations, rich people,
