>> sean: i disgraced everybody. let not your heart be troubled, right there, 877-225-8587. all right, unfortunately, that is all the time we have left this evening. let not your heart be troubled. standing back into the new withe the news, i got to get your opinion on joe and mika. is that creepy, weird, or what? >> laura: note you're always right. you are always right. [laughs] donald trump is scary. he's a scary man, i can't. i love you way the plate the ple guitar, i love the way you sing in one key come it's so beautiful. hannity, get it right.

it's joe brezinski. i like mika, i like her. >> sean: you get to lead on media, take it away. >> laura: welcome to "the ingraham angle," no more impressions, i messed up my hai hair. the latest text from the fbi lovers is raising questions about president obama's possible involvement in the fbi investigation into russia's election meddling. nancy pelosi, she promotes the dreamers with a marathon eight hour speech. lent has come early. "sports illustrated" uses naked supermodels to push the #metoo agenda. but we begin with sid vicious

and the clintons, that's the focus of tonight's angle. sid blumenthal the older figured of the clinton scandals of the 90s is back in the news, all signs are pointing to the conclusion that hillary's political hit man with that page boy haircut was a likely source for the infamous steele dossier. >> when you hear where one of the sources is you're going to think i've heard that name somewhere before. >> foreign source? >> domestic source, i'm trying to think of how secretary clinton to find him. >> laura: recall that once a lefty journalist for "the washington post" and the new republic worked alongside his old pal paul begala in the clinton white house.

hired in 1997, they were the two man bomb squad committed to smearing and slamming anyone who is making life difficult for the president and mrs. clinton. he was a prime grand jury witness during the monica lewinsky scandal and is credited to licking nasty stories to the press to defile the reputation of the special prosecutor ken starr. hold onto that thought. blumenthal affectionately known as sid vicious was one of hillary's most loyal enablers and fiercest attack dogs. as the ultimate washington insider, he glommed onto the clintons and his association with them became the meal ticket that never ran out. think of it this way, like a magnet on a piece of rotting carrion except nastier. when it comes to the phony steele dossier, i always knew

something seemed odd that that the clintons had more to do with it than just paying for it. one of her hold henchmen might even be behind a sum of its lurid details. blumenthal managed to land the nifty role of advising hillary when she was at the state department and getting $10,000 a month as a consultant for the clinton foundation. what did he do for that ten grand a month? he provided something called message guidance. in emails reported on by "the new york times," we learned that leventhal funneled advice to secretary clinton about things such as libya. not because he had unique experience on a north african affairs but because a friend of his wanted it to do business there. what a guy. fast-forward to the present day. the grassley-graham criminal

referral contains this. one memorandum by mr. steele which was not published by buzz feet it was dated october 9th 2016. it states that his company received this report from the u.s. state department that it was second in a series and it was information that came from a foreign sub source who was in touch with redacted, who passed it to redacted. it is troubling enough that the clinton campaign funded mr. steele's work. but that these associates were contemporaneously feeding allegations raises additional concerns about his credibility. this is important because we have been led to believe that steele's dossier sources in the infamous mets were russian. it turns out that they may have

been clinton black ops specialist laundering information to steele through the obama state department. wild. who might of those associates b be? last month senators grassley and graham sent letters out to the dnc asking them to produce any communications they had with sidney blumenthal and cody shearer between march 2016 and january 2017. this is where the plot thickens. assuming the allegations are true, blumenthal and cody shearer may be responsible for the nasty, salacious claims against trump in that dossier. it would fit their profile. blumenthal is a smear artist, his sidekick cody shearer is a long time a clinton ally known to them as mr. fixer.

in the words of the weekly standard, "he is one of the most disrupt the disreputable figures in washington." the emails revealed that he was running a secret spy network that fed hillary clinton information on it libya and benghazi when she was secretary of state. he had been back channeling information to the obama state department for a long tim time. if these allegations that they were at least some of the sources from the dossier, the clintons fingerprints, their closest associates, their hit men fixers are all over this thing. they funded the creation of the fake dossier and then her

parasitic proxies fed information to christopher steele with one objective, destroy donald trump by any means necessary. and that's the angle. joining us now, former hillary clinton advisor, the author of the new book rogue spooks. along with "wall street journal" columnist chemist russell. i'm not a proper person but i have a gavel in case things get really nasty. >> you can pound the table. >> i'm not a man of violence. >> i want to congratulate you, you are wearing the brit hume boca raton sweater tonight, you already win points. tell me about this idea and we heard it from trey gowdy that at least part of this dossier, part

of the information in it came from sid blumenthal then we'll talk about cody shearer. >> i said this on your show last week, they couldn't publish the negative research that they did under their names because they were so discredited. so they laundered it through steele. he is a foreign service person, head of the russia bureau of am i six. am i six, it was presented as his work, it would be a better chance of taken seriously. i believe that most of the dossier was written by shearer into blumenthal. they are the class a dirty ops, black ops people. hillary at one point called me in the 96 campaign and said i

really want you to get to know sidney blumenthal. bill followed up and said that she talk to about sydney, every time i met with him after a week i would call hillary. he was the dirty tricks operative. i asked blumenthal who was allegedly a journalist for the new yorker who asked all the questions. >> laura: it doesn't mean that he is necessarily the source of the dossier, the fact that he did all the stuff in the 90s, how do we jump to the conclusion that he did this. you heard what gaudi said, he has a long history. he was so radioactive that even rahm emanuel banned him from the obama white house because he believed blumenthal was behind all of the negative stuff that came out about obama and the

2008 campaign which they were right about. >> let me say that i agree with something said. which is that steele is a renowned mi6 agent and a foreign service agent. as to why they funneled it and laundered it through him that you've got a problem. i think he just gave credence to the rest of the dossier. trey gowdy didn't say who it was but let's stipulate -- >> laura: devin nunes did the same thing. >> i've never heard of cody shearer. >> you haven't worked with the clintons as long as i have. >> i actually have, i wasn't fired by them. >> laura: that's a low blow. >> said is a lot more of a character than you are portraying. i'm not defending him. but i think the most important thing is the notion that the

dossier was written by sid blumenthal is crazy. that's not what happened. chris steele wrote the dossier. and devin nunes has said that much in it. >> let's talk about christopher steele at for a little bit because the importance of the memo today is that it provides proof and information that mr. steele went to the fbi and a supposedly he was so worried about the country and donald trump. he broke fbi cardinal rules. he undermined at the fbi, they had admonished him not to speak to anyone and yet he went running out to sit down with glenn simpson, an opposition research firm and brief all of their bodies in the press in september in order to create negative headlines against donald trump. he blew the operation, put it out there in public. then they hillary clinton campaign capitalized on it in

the days following. tell me how we view this man as a stand-up mi6 agent that can be trusted. if he understood the rules of the game, he will not have broken all of the fbi rules. he strikes me as a political operator who is on the record as saying he is opposed to donald trump ever becoming president. >> i'm not defending christopher steele, i do want to point out that he said in the deposition that he got a lot of his material from an outside source, unsolicited. let's remember that this guy was the bureau chief at mi6, who said were peeing on the bed. >> laura: he said carter page met with individuals that he never met with. >> a guy who was serving a 40 year sentence for in a gout

log -- 80% of that dossier is so clearly a lie. >> if 20% is real, president trump has a big problem. >> could we hear what the 20% is that's true? >> bob mueller is going to tell us. >> laura: is it standard now you can spy on an american citizen with a document that its providence is unclear, it's violated the norms of intelligence by sharing information with the press before it has been submitted to the fisa court. the fbi itself knew the origin of this document was funded by political opposition, not just an opposition person but the opposition candidate. if you can spy on americans on

that basis i find it to be terrifying. >> that's not the bases. the basis for the warrant as we've learned is that george papadopoulos the coffee boy. >> at 28-year-old kid goes into a bar. he boasts about how great he is. >> won the fisa warrant was granted, carter page was listened in on an every 90 days they renewed it. >> laura: on the same funny basis. >> you can't renew it unless it's based on what the 90 days have provided. >> laura: then they conclude that the dossier is a significant part if not the instrumental part of the application without which the application will not have been filed. mccabe did say that in the testimony on capitol hill. >> he said that in the referral

which quotes from the application, the first time we've seen texts from the application said that the applications relied heavily on two pieces of information. on the dossier and at the yahoo news article was inspired by christopher steele as well. then to suggest somehow there was corroboration. by the way, the referral also and this is very important, reveals to us that even comey admitted in front of the senate's judiciary that they have evidence they weren't able to independently verify the dossier or this article. when he was asked why they nonetheless ran with it. he said because he is a reliable guy. >> ron johnson swung and missed,

devin nunes swung and missed, grassley has taken the baton from them. >> how is he swung and missed? >> laura: let's go to brett. >> sidney blumenthal made up the story that he investigated his daughter's fiance. >> laura: were not going to go to ross perot. >> because he's an anti-semite and didn't want his daughter marrying a. >> laura: fantastic segment, the fbi lovebirds we just talk about it struck again, raised more questions about president obama had any involvement or asked any and questions about the fbi brush a meddling investigation. up next, jim jordan is our up next, jim jordan is our your insurance company won't

replace the full value of your totaled new car. the guy says, "you picked the wrong insurance plan." no, i picked the wrong insurance company. with new car replacement™, we'll replace the full value of your car plus depreciation. liberty mutual insurance.

you know what's not awesome? gig-speed internet. when only certain people can get it. let's fix that. let's give this guy gig- really? and these kids, and these guys, him, ah. oh hello. that lady, these houses! yes, yes and yes. and don't forget about them. uh huh, sure. still yes! xfinity delivers gig speed to more homes than anyone. now you can get it, too. welcome to the party. >> laura: a newly released text between fbi agents is raising questions about what to former president obama said about his lack of involvement in federal investigations. on september 2nd 2016, lisa page texted her friend peter strzok

about the need to create talking points for fbi director jim comay. she texted "potus wants to know everything we are doing." that would appear to contradict what president obama told fox's chris wallace earlier. >> i've talked to the attorney general about pending investigations, i do not talk to fbi directors about pending investigations. we have a strict lines and always have maintained it. >> laura: joining us now is james freeman of "the wall street journal," republican congressman jim jordan is here in the studio as his democratic strategist scott bolden. your sense on this. the democrats are saying this isn't a big deal. if this is a president being engaged on the subject of russian collusion and interference in the election with the president of the united states should be informed about.

>> you have to take it in context. july 5th is the day they say word not going to charge clinton, the now famous press conference. later that same month, peter strzok opens the russia trump investigation. two weeks later we have the text message, he says we need an insurance policy in case the american people make an precedent. two weeks after that they said he needs to do everything we are doing. taken in context i think it raises a lot of concerns and suspicions, that's why we need to look into it and find of exactly what is going on. >> barack obama isn't walking through that white house tour, he's a private citizen. the fact that you have dates and details it doesn't amount to anything definite. you can look into it if you want but we have a russia investigation, they meddled in our elections, whether donald trump is connected to that head and he can collusion or anything to do with that investigation, we are to be focused on that whether you are

a democrat or republican that ought to be the focus. these dates in these possibilities and conjecture are a waste of time. >> here's the broader context, he should lose 100 million to zero. >> it means that they have a political view. >> it's not just by us, they took action. >> laura: let's get james freeman in here, you heard the discussion. the spin today from the democrats is this is easily explained because the president should be aware of any effort to investigate as a chief executive officer as the government investigates a russian effort to meddle in the election regardless of what political party is involved, your respons response. >> it does sound like progress if democrats are acknowledging that the fbi and justice department to report to the president, they are not an authority unto themselves. it gets to this question of who

did authorize going to a judge and getting a warrant to spy on the political opposition with an amount of evidence that would not pass muster at our newspaper or any professional newsroom. now the question is, you mentioned the obama statement on your program a few years ago, it's quite a distance, i never talk to the fbi director about impending investigations, not only did he talk but he wanted to know everything they were doing. i think the question for mr. obama is did you realize this evidence was so thin? that he know what they were doing going to the judge and the fisa court with this politically generated material? >> laura: i think it is wild to think in the middle of a heated presidential election cycle, the justice department,

the fbi ready to spy on an american, not to go to the president. i think that would be weird not to say we are about to do this. we thought we should give you a heads up. and go to the president and say this is what we are putting together. we think you should be apprised of this. do you think this is okay? >> your previous segment, that they hired steele to produce the dossier and they also told him what to put in it. did they tell him to put in at? >> laura: who paid for the dossier probably not. >> one time i would love to come on this show and it debated the g.o.p. about facts, not conjecture. not guessing. we don't even know whether barack obama asked for that information you're relying on the texts. >> laura: you're a as i am, contemporaneous recordings whether it's text messages or both call recordings are quite reliable in court.

there is no reason for him to lie about -- no reason for him or her to say, either of them to say, he wants to know everythin everything. >> that's how their processing it. >> and obama's proxy eric holder was on another network tonight with rachel maddow and i want the congressman to respond, let's watch. >> the real problem is the president. the president going after named career people, saying things about the integrity of those two institutions, the justice department, the fbi. no other president has ever said to those kinds of things, conducted himself in that way. he is doing long term. i think any one of my kids would make a better president than donald trump. >> laura: hilarious. >> no other fbi has taken a

campaign opposition research document to spy on a fellow american citizen. that is unbelievable. think about this, comey is gone, mccabe is leaving, lisa page has been demoted and reassigned, the chief of staff is live in the fbi. when have you ever seen the top people, the seventh floor people leave this organization -- that's the problem. if that's what we're trying to get to the bottom of come of the text message give context to the whole mind-set of these people who ran to the clinton investigation. >> he's got it down pat. the fisa warrant -- the dossier was not the basis. they went with got to get the last word to freeman he stuck in new york. >> i think we would like to hear from the judge, whether he would

have one of full story. these do not look like middle management decisions, these look like high-level decisions to spy on your political adversary, let's find out who made them. >> laura: i want to know who these fisa judge is. i want to know who they are and i want to know why there is no sanctions being levied against lawyers who are omitting material facts from these secret applications. i think it needs a sanction, if i were the judge, where's my gavel? sanctions. and then there is this. >> you want to the pfizer judges to be exposed? you guys were all against it, you're now forth. an eight-hour speech from nancy pelosi today on behalf of you the american citizens, no, the dreamers. she wasn't the only democrat

>> laura: seeming to answer the question, do they care about the so-called dreamers? they used a dreamer to attack the president. >> he was supposed to be the adult in the room. >> i heard a bully, someone that's ticking on people that were afraid, scared, younger than him. >> laura: the nancy pelosi used it as an excuse for an eight-hour filibuster. some things we didn't hear her address, ms-13, robert reese rt she did find time to preach. >> the minister for all god's

creation, an act of worship. it's to dishonor the god who made us. >> laura: thank you pastor nancy, senior fellow for london policy research in here in washington is probably no ronnie executive director of the national immigration forum. i have to give nancy pelosi credit, she's up there for eight hours. she's not 40. she's up there for eight hours and she's going for it. no one nodded off which was amazing. she is up there doing her thing. my question is has she ever done something remotely like this for any victim of illegal immigrant crime? i don't think she has ever mentioned kate steinle's name in her district who was murdered by an illegal immigrant. i don't think she has ever addressed the issue of gangs in oakland or any part of california, los angeles, her state. eight hours for the so-called

dreamers. >> the amazing part of today was not only nancy pelosi standing up for seven hours making the case for dreamers, also on the senate side you had it james lankford joining an independent senator from maine calling for a bipartisan solution. the thing here is that president trump has an opportunity to make a deal for a lifetime. he can get a win, he can have a victory speech and have a parade where dreamers are walking by mr. president thank you for protecting us. >> laura: if he put the dreamers in the military parade, that would be fun. i'd come to that parade and fly every flag known to humanity. >> 900 daca recipients have enlisted or applied to enlist in the army. >> laura: in my view they would all get a path to citizenship. nancy pelosi does have stamina, you've got to handle it to her.

she wants at gavel back in her hand, she wants to take back the house. the dreamers come with a latino coalition, they are a key part for the democrats to take back the house of representatives. i think it was as much about that is anything else today. >> absolutely, democrats are constantly putting noncitizens ahead of american citizens which is not exactly a political winner. you either have a country that is based on the rule of law or you don't. the democrats don't much care about the rule of law because their goal is to legalize the rule of law, not because they don't care about them they because their primary objective is to create a permanent democratic majority. the left is very effective in casting their views and their policies and their approaches and their emotional kind of way, using the echo chamber of the left-wing media to portray them that way, the american people understand hear what this is all

about. stunts like this, this is the same old routine. he it doesn't have the same direction as it used to, popular sentiment is with president trump on this including many with the democratic base who want better jobs and better wages without the drag on those things from illegal immigration. >> laura: 1.8 million dreamers -- daca recipients were going to get amnesty, that was on the table. trump said they have to end this chain migration. the democrats did not want to give him a win on that, the democrats cared about the dreamers. 1.8 million would have gotten amnesty, now they will have gotten nothing. >> president trump also had a great deal on his hands, he was willing to give $25 million for a wall. that's the deal the president wanted. >> laura: but then he gave a

million more and amnesty. >> how many more billions of dollars that he want on the border? >> laura: this is a political power play for pelosi and she is smart how she does it. nothing says the #metoo moment like naked supermodels. it will show you what happens when "sports illustrated" tries to

>> laura: time now for our seen and unseen segment where we expose what is really going on behind the big culture stories of the day, what happens when the swimsuit edition hits the "me too" era. we'll share another sweet story coming up, fox news contributor raymond arroyo, swimsuit edition, no swimsuits but a hashtag on the models, what's going on? >> these are empowering words on these supermodels. here's the problem, they are saying this is empowering, you're using them as literal billboards. i'm sorry, this is no way. this is supposed to raise awareness of respect for women, sexual abuse awareness, this is an odd way to do it by putting

the first time in history "sports illustrated" does a spread. >> laura: all women edited this addition, they didn't edit much. here's what the editor said of this experience. she said it's about allowing women to exist in the world without being harassed or judged, regardless of how they like to present themselves. >> women may read the words, men are reading the curves. this is a photo spread that harvey weinstein could have produced, it's an outrage. >> laura: ladies, you're embarrassing yourselves. a father daughter dance canceled in new york, my daughter has gone to a father daughter dance, she goes with a friend or a surrogate grandfather and she has a great time. >> the public schools have a code that you don't want to violate anyone's gender identification and by calling it

a father daughter dance they say you're excluding people. i don't understand this, if you're a mother who identifies as a father, go to the father daughter dance. >> laura: i'm staying home, i find this whole thing -- this is a different type of dance, it's not the dances i'm used to. >> these are beautiful events for a father and daughter, they leave lasting memories. why should it be ruined for everybody? >> laura: they want to ruin the boy scouts, girl scouts, all-male clubs, all-female clubs, you can't have any fun with a particular group because everybody has to be in. >> down at ps 30 they have something called a fudge dance come up with uncles, dance, grandfathers, et cetera, look for the et cetera dance. everyone will be happy then. >> laura: what's a feel good story.

>> gerber baby has chosen x boats it's spokes may be of the year. down syndrome, such a lesson and a witness, 67, 90% of children with down syndrome are aborted. this is a lesson for the beauty and a need for every life, these people are valued and loved and should be. >> laura: every life has worth and merit and that made my nigh night. >> we need to clean the pallet. >> laura: you're not going to believe that it was an emigrant trained by al qaeda who got a chain migration visa who now has eight cross hairs of our counterterrorism authorities, you're not going to believe what for all the eyes that get itchy and watery near pollen. there's flonase sensimist. it relieves all your worst symptoms including nasal congestion, which most pills don't.

and all from a gentle mist you can barely feel. flonase sensimist.

>> laura: the fbi has arrested a saudi immigrant who reportedly attended al qaeda's most notorious training camp, the very one used by the 9/11 hijackers. what alerted the feds? they say he used a fraudulent visa to take flying lessons. just like the 9/11 gang.

how did he get the bogus visa? according to prosecutors he lied about his background including whether or not he supported terrorist or had contacts with the terrorist group. he entered the country in 2011 on a nonimmigrant visa using his wife's status as a foreign student. he's been living near oklahoma city. how did our system allows this guy in and how many others like him are out there? poorly vetted immigrants were suspects in the botched attack on new york subways in september, the truck attack on the bike path in new york that killed eight and injured 11, the 2015 at mass shooting in san bernardino that killed 14 and wounded to 22. here with analysis as former fbi counterterrorism official in san francisco. this seems all too familiar, the pattern of the g bodies who managed to get their way into the united states lying about their background and in this

case the saudi immigrant, he's the guy that's signing up for flying lessons, how does this happen? >> going back to 2,000, we had 9/11, the army went in there a frightening story to what we face in the future, they went ahead and sent those documents in their to the bureau, the fingerprints recorded in the file. in 2011 he comes to united states, that was a big problem during the 9/11 situation, by october of 2016, he's got himself a private pilot

license. he's got his license, several months after that, they do the matches and find out we've already got these prints here, these are 50 prints from documents taking out of the training camp. all of that is a great way to start this story toward its next chapter. it's a great story of terrorism prevention, that's the way it's supposed to work. it's almost the community in its entirety, -- >> laura: i get that, it's a good story. the fact that we allow ourselves to be in this position of having to prevent these attacks by these people coming into the united states -- the extreme vetting that we are supposed to be doing, extreme vetting, trump

said we were going to do extreme vetting -- you're not going to catch everyone through extreme vetting. look what happened in san bernardino. she just lied on her application when she came in, she gave a fake home address, it didn't even exist. look at that. they ended up shooting up that place, people dead. i don't know why we continue to have such a liberal policy with allowing people in from these hot spots and i say thank god for trumps -- the temporary ban on these hot spots countries. >> these travel bands and what he wants to do with the immigration plan is exactly the way to go. look at it by the numbers, just taking the last two years since 9/11, over 1 billion people have come in through various means. we can't even determine from a

fraction of those anything from these visa applications. most of them just fall through the cracks. we still don't have biometrics, that's the sad part. when you look at the 9/11 commission and look at what they were saying not long after 9/11, we've got to deal with this whole immigration and we still haven't addressed the vast majority of them. 15 of the 19 hijackers on 9/11 were saudis. six of the 19 -- go ahead. >> laura: they are not on the watch list, not only barred from travel from the united states, i think this is way too much for us to handle, keeping the right people in and out of this people in and out of this c>> tech: at safelite autoglass we know that when you're spending time with the grandkids every minute counts. and you don't have time for a cracked windshield. that's why we show you exactly when we'll be there. saving you time, so you can keep saving the world. >> kids: ♪ safelite repair, safelite replace ♪

>> laura: that is all the time we have left this evening. tomorrow night we will be in new orleans -- new orleans, rehman says. tune in, will have a great show. we want to hear what you thought

about tonight show. tweet me and shannon bream is like a broadway star now. she's doing to a day. two shows a day. she does special report and then she does the fox news at night at 11:00 p.m. you've got vaudeville, broadway, take your pick. you do it all. >> shannon: i can't dance, but i do a mean puppet show. >> laura: i've seen you dance. shannon, you danced on friday nights and you are a great dancer. >> shannon: i have my own style, we will leave it at that. how about that? >> laura: have a great show. >> shannon: thank you so much. here's what we have coming up tonight. >> i guarantee that there is no political influence in any investigation conducted by the justice department or the fbi. >> president obama in 2016. it now newly released text messages between a pair of fbi agents are raising the questions about the former president's statement. catherine herridge separates facts from fiction and ben shapiro weighs
