Now, its highly revealing. As d. C. Braces for two more upcoming reports on the probe, the probe of the russia probe that could hit comeys truthfulness. More details surfacing how comey and the fbi were primed and ready to launch to bring down trump right from the start of his presidency. What comey hid from trump, how comey misled the president , all in a push to secretly do surveillance of the Trump Campaign to bring trump down. Supporter chaos. Law enforcement seizing enough fentanyl to kill 14 Million People. Its a massive drug bust spanning three states. We warned you about drug cartels here. It was a drug operation that shockingly even used the u. S. Postal service to ship in drugs from china. You wont believe how the democrats want to solve the border problem. To the 2020 democrat speaking out, telling the truth that president obama did not do a good job on the economy. Thats what critics on wall street have said, that the economy quote, was not working for most of us under obama. Plus democrat worries grow over joe bidens mistakes that keep piling up. Weve got the latest, and the network now helping biden, defending and rescuing biden from his own mistakes by, wait for it, trying to blame bidens mistakes on President Trump. Its a debate about media bias thats gone off the rails. Thanks for joining us. Im elizabeth macdonald. The evening edit starts right now. To the latest on Hurricane Dorian heading for a direct hit on florida. Acuweather meteorologist has the latest. Good to have you on. Thank you. As we continue to track the storm, winds are moving pretty quickly here around the storm, 115 mile per hour winds are being reported. Movement westnorthwest at nine miles per hour. Thats pretty important because that has changed the trajectory of dorian. It will continue to move on this track here into warmer waters, less dry air and weak wind shear and little land interaction for the next several hours which allows it to strengthen into a category 4 as we head into your sunday morning. Continuing as a category 4 further to the west, potentially making landfall in florida as a major hurricane. So with this in mind, we do have some factors we have to keep in mind. There is a High Pressure back towards the atlantic, our bermuda high. Thats the steering mechanism. That will continue to try to press dorian to the west, but we have our dip in the jet stream that could weaken that. And that could be the potential for a different change in track here for dorian, as we move into our sunday and tuesday. Now, most of our models are hinting that it will still come in contact with florida, the eastern seaboard there, and continue in a northerly fashion, and as it does make landfall it will slow down. In fact, impacts we are seeing across the bahamas, rough surf, rip currents and the rain will be coming on the way. Here across florida through georgia, we will be talking about high risk for life and property, especially in places like melbourne, west palm beach. We want to keep you alert and make sure youre preparing as we continue into your saturday through your thursday. Liz im so sorry about that. Thank you for your report. Really appreciate it. To ellison barber on the ground in florida. Reporter we are at a home depot in miamidade county. The governor of florida has issued a state of emergency in all 67 counties in the state. They say they issued them in all of the counties because right now, the path of this hurricane is still uncertain. What they say they do feel confident in is that the intensity of this storm is serious. They say it is going to be a major storm. Preparations are well under way, this home depot has been in and out of supplies today. These gas cannisters, this is a new shipment thats come in really just in the last 30 minutes. We saw someone here not long ago get what was the last available gas cannister. We have seen businesses boarding up storefronts, people making lastminute runs for plywood so they can cover up homes, their own homes and also grab groceries, various things they need. The governor says they are trying to get more gas into this area right now. We are hearing about upwards of 50 of the gas stations in this county have run out of gas. They say there is more available, they just have to get it here. Most of the people we have spoken to, they say they are going to ride this storm out for now. There are no mandatory evacuations yet in this state. There are voluntary ones. But the big warning from officials right now is theyre saying take this storm seriously. You can get out and get some final preparations under way. They are telling residents to expect power outages, expect a multiday event and expect flooding. There will also likely be flooding and high water. More people in storms are killed from high water, from drowning, than from anything. Please dont drive through high water and dont wade through high water. There could be downed electrical lines. Reporter and the governor, officials are telling floridians they really should have seven days worth of food, water and medicine as this storm comes in. They are saying since this is a slowmoving storm at this point that right now there is still time to get some things that people need to get to stay safe and be prepared. You can see all the people here are trying to do that. This store has been busy with lines in and out of the store since it opened at 6 00 a. M. This morning. Liz thank you for your reporting. Okay. Lets take a look quickly about the economy. New numbers on american spending, up more than 4 year over year. Incomes growing nearly 5 . Theres a million more job openings than available workers and an economy any candidate would love. The democrats and the media pushing this narrative, that trump is ruining the good economy he inherited from president obama. Everybody remembers the doldrums, the pits that barack obama lifted the economy up from. So yes, what hes done is hes implemented his own policy that he screwed up Barack Obamas good economy. Thank you, donald trump. Liz for the first time a 2020 democrat is now saying this about the obama economy. Its pete buttigieg. Do we have we dont have the sound bite. All right. Here is trend macro ceo donald lufkin. Pete buttigieg basically said the economy was not working under obama. Your reaction to that . This is why people like pete buttigieg. Hes a smart guy. He realizes that the economy is just not a winning issue for democrats because the economy under trump is so much better than it was under obama. The income numbers you just cited, weve had 4. 6 income growth, you know what it was in obamas last year in office . In the 2s. We have more than doubled it. So gdp yesterday was slightly revised down for the Second Quarter to 2. 1 . You know what it was on average during obamas presidency . 1. 8 . So people like don lemon, if that is indeed his name, come on tv and say that there washington you know, doldrums before obama took over. No, when obama took over, that created the doldrums that even his own chief economic adviser calls the great stagnation, right. So along comes donald trump, juices the economy to highs that havent been seen for a generation, and the best the democrats can say is oh, my god, a recession might come some day. Thats not a winning play for 2020, is it. Liz you know, there are seven and a half million job openings across the country. Record low jobless rates in battleground states. Iowa is at 2. 5 . Small businesses cannot find workers. The number of those who cant find workers hit nearly a 50year high last month. These are pretty powerful numbers. I understand gdp growth is at 2 , half of what the president was aiming for. But im not sure how this is a winning road to the white house for the democrats. Your take. The democrats are, as always, preaching a doctrine of envy and resentment where theyre trying to tell the people in the lowest rungs of the ladder of employment that they have no opportunities. Well, when there are that many job openings and not enough people to fill them, its a fantastic world of opportunity where they are going to get higher wages, they are going to get opportunity to work at all, and because they are the least skilled members of the work force, the people who hire them are going to have to train them. So when theyre done with those first jobs, they will have more experience, more selfreliance, more marketability in the marketplace of the future, and thats the way the economy is supposed to work. So who is the progressive, whos lifting up the bottom of our economy . Donald j. Trump. Liz you know whats interesting is when you talk to President Trumps supporters, they feel like he is out there fighting to get them their jobs back, to stop the manufacturing job outsourcing, the brain drain overseas. They see him working, but the democrats are planning to hit the rust belt, they plan to hit the battleground states, they plan to talk to farmers and say trumps tariffs are really going to slam you. Thats the battle plan we are hearing the democrats about to roll out. Your reaction to that . Trump ought to be just saying great. If thats your play, run it. You lose. Right . Because you can tell people it isnt working, but the people youre telling it isnt working are the ones for whom it is working. All right . Now, yeah, fine, so the chinese stopped buying some soybeans. What has trump done . Hes set up a trade Adjustment Fund of 16 billion a year to make up for that shortfall which is more than the chinese were importing from the United States anyway, right . All this stuff is just fantasy, just film, right. Let the democrats run this strategy. Its a losing strategy. Trumps got to be licking his lips. Liz thank you so much. Thank you. Liz coming up, the crisis in hong kong escalating. China helping to crack down. Authorities rounding up and arresting prodemocracy leaders, now facing government charges. China rejecting all protesters demand. A planned march on saturday canceled. We have more on that and what this means for our dealings with china, and democrats worried over joe bidens continuous crackups or mistakes. We have the network now coming to the rescue for biden and saying its President Trump is to blame for bidens mistakes. We will try to work that out with you coming up.

This guy climbed down a ravine, carried this guy up on his back under fire, and the general wanted me to pin the silver star on him. I got up there, this is the gods truth, my word as a biden, he stood at attention. I went to pin him, he said sir, i dont want the damn thing. Liz joe biden under fire for telling a moving but false war story on the campaign trail. The mistakes keep piling up. Lets bring in wall street Journal Editorial Board member. Good to see you, bill. Its friday, right . Heres the Washington Post saying biden got the location, the time period, the medal, the Military Branch and more wrong in just the three minutes he told the story. Hes comingling woar stories. Its moving but the mistakes keep piling up. He conflated three stories into one. Very confusing. Im not a person who believes gaffes really necessarily bring politicians down. Sometimes they humanize you. A lot of people look at a gaffe, in washington everyone makes fun of you but a lot of people say i could do that. Reagan made gaffes all the time. My boss george w. Bush made gaffes. But these are different kind of gaffes now from bidens earlier gaffes. In his early days he made that gaffe like reading from the kinnick speech talking about his father coming up from the coal minus. The plagiarism, but also he placed his father in the coal mines when he was a car dealer and so forth. These are different because like thinking he was Vice President meeting the parkland kids, the war stories, thinking he was in vermont and not new hampshire, these are things that have people thinking maybe hes too old and hes not all there. These are much more damaging. One point of sale is i can beat donald trump. Liz heres the thing. We are coming into the toughest part of the primary season, where punches are really thrown. We understand, we always heard you speak 40,000 words you will Say Something wrong. Watch what Vice President biden said about dreamers. Look at this sound bite. Lets cue it up. They become americans before a lot of americans become americans. No, im serious. They get in school, they do well, they contribute to the community, they contribute to the country. So number one, we legalize the dreamers. Liz your reaction to that . Yeah. I just think its of a piece with this. Look, his problem now is compounded because now its a meme. Joe biden doesnt know where he is, hes losing his marbles. Unfortunately for him thats kind of like the dan quayle thing. Once dan quayle got the reputation hes a joke, hes stupid, everything is seen in that light, even otherwise normal routine mistakes. I think if joe biden really needs to have a good debate to show that hes vigorous. I would show some sense of humor, but i think he needs a good debate to dispel some of these rumors. Liz hes doing two things at once. Hes basically resetting 45 years worth of policy, recasting his policies on immigration and crime some say chucking it overboard. Liz to appease the far left. Look at this. Cnn is now coming to the rescue of joe biden, basically by trying to blame it on President Trump. Watch this. Im wondering if thats part of the new world were in. Has donald trump made it safe to say up is down in some cases . Liz this is a big accusation. Cnn also had this article blaming trump for bidens mistakes saying quote, new biden gaffe raises question of truth in trumps postfact era. Yeah. I mean, the problem is liz do you believe this . Is this believable . No. Look, the problem is its not that joe bidens going around telling lies. Right . Its just that he doesnt seem to be aware of where he is and what happened. Thats the real issue. That has nothing to do with donald trump. I will say this. The Vice President always touted himself as the guy that can beat donald trump, right, and i can give it back to him, the working class against the working class. I think thats a mistake. The way joe biden should go about trump is with a little humor. Hes been around washington for a long time. He could do it. I think if he showed humor in the debate when who was it said pass the torch, old man, if he said look, you know, i know what youre thinking but i have been around, you want this torch, you are going to have to take it from me. I think he could use humor much more effectively. Liz i hear what youre saying. But heres what the president is going to do. Hes going to step in, hes going to say look at the dozens and dozens of things that i accomplished without any help from congress. Hes gotten a lot done without the help from congress. Joe biden has been around since the nixon era, right . And by the way, hes in the mosh pit with the democrats now attacking his record and bringing down his record. Hes not even, you know, hes even going biden is even undercutting obama on obamacare. Right, well, look, hes trying to defend it in his way. Hes caught. I think donald trump will give him a very hard time and hes not going to wait until the campaign. Hes already doing it now. Joe bidens in a tough place. Democrats republicans are kind of like the elks. If you have been in the club long enough they say its your turn. Thats how we got john mccain and bob dole. Doesnt matter how old you are or something. Democrats are not like that. They really fight, with the exception of Hillary Clinton, 2016, they really have to fight for their nominations. There are going to be a lot of people that want to take that lead away from joe biden. Im not sure he is up to it, given what hes been doing the last couple of days. Liz you have been really really astute observer of whats going on with james comey for a long time, since the start of this investigation. You called it right from the getgo. I want your Quick Reaction to when you read that ig report, what did you think . Did you think it was worse . Look, we had an editorial today and a column by my colleague, and both of them say the biggest takeaway is james comey was a sneak. The man that saw himself, he was so awed by his own moral virtues he thought the rules didnt apply to him. He misled donald trump when he said youre not the target of the investigation. He misled congress when he said we cant talk about investigations, i cant answer questions and a few weeks later, if we do, if we talk about things, makes it harder to do our jobs. Later, he leaks to the new york times. He misled his own team at the fbi. Liz how . One of the things in this report says that they didnt find out that the memos he wrote had left the fbi until they were watching him testify and he talked about giving it to his attorney and to the press. Liz okay. Heres the thing thats really disturbing. There are a lot of things disturbing. Liz january 2017, President Trump sits down for the first time, ends the trump tower meeting with a briefing from james comey, a courtesy briefing, giving him a headsup,
