liz: it's an important point you make about anthony kennedy.stion is will kavanaugh overturn roe v. wade and gay marriage? we're seeing he likely will not. you know what's interesting, mark. he's anti-administrative big government state. kavanaugh potions nominated right wing democrats are campaigning on big state medicare for all policies. >> you're absolutely right and these are the things he stands against because he has that conservative view that says let's make the law as it's written and not write the laws that's not the judge's role, so they're campaigning out there, dragged to the radical left and that's where they're campaigning while president trump is continuing to put the faith in freedom, business, put more money back in the taxpayer's hands and we know the results that we're seeing every day. liz: the pushback began even before president trump announced brett kavanaugh as his choice, abc's nightline tweeting out tonight on nightline, terry mo ran reports on the " controversial supreme court justice pick and the possible implicati

liz: a government money tree. ted kennedyax cuts in '86, show did chuck howard. >> thank you. liz: stay on story, campus reform asking supporters of alexandria ocasio-cortez, how is she going to pay for the free stuff? thertheir answers will shock. >> you i don't know where the money would come from, but they could figure it out. >> tax corporations, and find a way to support a living wage. like the american red cross, and our nation's veterans. we knew helping our communities was important then. and we know it's even more important today. so we're stepping up to volunteer more and donate over a million dollars every day. so our communities can be even stronger. it's a new day at wells fargo. but it's a lot like our first day. the wonderful thing about polident is the fact that it's very, very tough on bacteria, yet it's very gentle on the denture itself. polident's 4 in 1 cleaning system consists of 4 powerful ingredients that work together to deep clean your denture in hard to reach places. it kills 99.99% of odor causing b

liz: you know, reagan did not expect kennedy to vote for roe v. wade. george h.w. expect to be pro-choice. not pro-choice, but they voted for roe v. wade. that's interesting; right? >> it is and what you're seeing today isn't just the president making another choice like gorsuch and his administration team getting it through. but the work of hundreds of thousands of americans even millions groups like the federalist society that have cultivated a group of conservatives who understand what the constitution means. it means what it says and who want to govern accordingly. liz: okay. let's move on to the next topic. to mexico, it is the first leftist president for mexico in decades. now, he has been leaning on corruption and violence in mexico. mexico now coming off its most violent year in decades. 30,000 homicides last year. cities in mexico now rival middle east cities in growth. speaking on the phone with the new president today. saying there will be treatment. our representatives will talk. here's the thing. reappalling violence never before seen in mexico. overdo

liz: the universal basic income stuff, finland stopped it. it's just a fun thing to discuss. these are serious policy issues. ted kennedyhe tax cuts in 1986. the dnc chair said she is the future. liz: it's not we. i come from across long line of democrats who can't believe this is democratic party. >> when you look at these figures and say unemployment is low and everything is fine. unemployment is low because everyone has two jobs. unemployment is low because people are working 60, 70, 80 hours a week. when we have this no holds barred wild west hyper capitalism. what that means is profit at any cost. capitalism has not always existed in the world and it will not always exist in the world. liz: china is moving to a capitalist system and russia wants to. was she correct with her facts? >> no, she is a 28-year-old millennial who has no idea what she is talking about. and she is the future of the democratic party. i want her to keep talking. off course you do because you don't have anything else to talk about. our president surrendered on foreign soil and you don't want to talk about that. the reality is we have a cry cit

liz: were down to the wire hours away from president trump announcing his supreme court nominee to replace anthony kennedynator lindsey graham saying red state democrats are going to have a tough decision to make. democrat senator durbin saying blocking the president supreme court choices more important than red state -- democrats getting reelected. >> the men and women i work with on the democratic side take this seriously and they understand it's a historic decision. about more than the next election. it's about what the united states of america is going to charges of scores in the future on the supreme court that i think each and every one of them take that seriously and personally. goes beyond the next election. liz: let's bring in wall street assistant editor. we have breaking news red state democrats hiding heitkamp and joe manchin up for re-election. they were invited to the white house for president trump supreme court announcement tonight. they all declined invitations. all three of them to -- . >> i think it's a mistake if they decline to support the nominee assuming it's one of these very quali

kennedy: as you know, elections are all about the economy. it's the economy, stupid. even msnbc know that. but they had to explain that to senator liz warren. >> the economy is a winning argument for this administration for more than just president trump's base. it would be a mistake putting forth candidates that label themselves democratic socialists o'er anti-capitalist beliefs when at this moment look at small or large business sentiments and consumer confidence, and americans feel like capitalism is working for them. kennedy: will democrats ever learn that voters like jobs and tax cuts? or are they destined to below it all in november? let's go to tonight's panel. she is a senior director of and a fox news contributor. and harlan hill is back, along with the founder and ceo of american majority, ned ryun. welcome back, everyone. jessica, you are a democrat. but i think you tend to be one of the more level-headed people. >> i appreciate that. kennedy: it's easy to jump on the exciting socialist bandwagon and promise everybody free stuff. i understand the exasperation with some on the left that democrats have to couple their own v
