number, we will never be the duty straight trump media. we are the fair and balanced media. let not your heart be troubled. laura ingraham is standing by with a great show. we will see you tomorrow night. >> laura: good evening, from new orleans, i'm laura ingraham. we have a phenomenal show for you. just in time for mardi gras. filled with great guests, great topics, don't want to miss a minute. stay right here with us. we have a potential blockbuster revelation from an fbi informant on the clinton and the sale of uranium to russia. and we've got ken starr and alan dershowitz on the democrats shameless hypocrisy, howling about republicans undermining mueller after doing all they could to sabotage the whitewater investigation. plus, we are at ground zero in the fight over american heritage and confederate monuments here

in new orleans, and we are going to have a lively debate. but first, bush and the global elites strike back. that's the focus of tonight's "angle." for eight years during barack obama's time in office, his predecessor, george w. bush, was really quiet. he painted a lot. remember this one hated of the dogs? they look like goats. and w gave speeches and he wrote an autobiography. he did a lot of great charity up appearances for the military, but he refused saturday to a mist of criticism as obama was taking a wrecking ball to america's domestic and foreign policy. let's think about it. when the obama administration appended our health care system, bush said nothing. when obama ran through his

bloated stimulus bills and exploded our debt, bush was mom. when horror stories of neglect at the va surfaced, total silence. when the obama administration abandoned armed men in benghazi and then sent susan rice out to lie about the attack, well, the cat have ws tongue, and then crickets. when he was asked to comment about obama policies, this was bush's customary response. >> i don't think it is good for the country to have a former president undermined a current president. i think it's bad for the presidency, for that matter. >> laura: but since trump was elected, george w. bush seems willing and able to eager to st off. although he doesn't mention trump by name, he might as well, and not only is he criticizing our 45th president, he is now

doing so on foreign soil. thoughts nice. today in dubai -- where else? he criticized trump for ending the dad policy, there are people willing to do jobs that americans don't want to do. americans don't want to pick cotton in 125 degrees. there are people that want to put food on their families tables. okay, i'm not will ferrell, give me a break. hillary clinton couldn't have said it better herself. bush tried this routine back in 2007. his amnesty with a side of border security, it didn't work then and it certainly is not going to work in the era of trump. but bush didn't stop at needling trump about immigration. he also offered this trenchant insight on russia's election interference.

>> laura: is that recorded on an old barbie tape recorder? what is that? if i were george w. bush, i wouldn't be so quick to bring up russian meddling. i kind of recall -- remember that ranch in crawford? he was pretty cozy with putin when he came to visit in texas. remember, he looks into vlad's eyes, and i think he saw his soul, as i recall. so it was okay to try to work with russia back then, but not now, right? well, i say this about looking into putin's soul. how did bush so badly misjudged vladimir putin? look, let's face it.

bush is repulsed by donald trump because, number one, trump is more of an economic nationalist. and number two, trump's election was a repudiation of both of the bushes and the clintons. and also, of course, w is still smarting from trump's trouncing his baby brother, jeb, in the primaries. >> poor jab, he's doing other commercial of me. this guy, he is a maniac. this poor guy, i feel sorry. he's like a lost soul. you know, this poor, pathetic, low-energy guide. >> i'm talking. >> you can go back. you interrupted. you apologize, jeb? again -- i know you're trying to build up your energy, jeb, but it's not working. >> laura: oh, my god, that was so funny. so it's to be expected -- come on, that was brutal. that they bushes would return to the national habitat after all

these years, places were no unquestioned international trade deal or the massive flood of humanity into our country, but it's painfully obvious that the bushes were never comfortable with conservatives of the reagan, buchanan, gingrich, or certainly not the trump variety. they are comfortable, however, well, cozying up to the obamas or hanging out with the clinton clintons. >> i don't know if that makes any sense, told me he used some big birds. >> used properly. [laughter] so, president bush -- >> this is the point where i reach my back pocket to make short my billfold is still there. [laughter] i don't know any big words. >> laura: starts sweet. isn't that nice? brings back such great memories. let's get back to the proposition we put out at the

beginning of the show. why is george w. bush suddenly so vocal? you weren't going to talk about successive presidents. i think it might have something do with the economy taking off. of course, the current market correction notwithstanding. 70% of registered voters in a new quinnipiac poll essay the economy is good or excellent under trump. the simple act on that trump's approval ratings are up to 40%, and an economist you go survey had him at 45%. then you throw in an incredible state of the union, the unraveling of this ridiculous russian investigation -- we will get into more of that with alan dershowitz and ken starr, they feel now they need to respond. that is what trump is doing, actually working. the president should wear the tired bush critiques as a badge of honor. trump is doing with previous administrations were unwilling or unable to do, and president bush himself should

know by now, come on, there is no constituency for perpetual military intervention, open borders, and totally unplaced international trade deals. mr. president, george w. bush, your brother ran on that platform, and the people chose trump, and that's the "angle" ." meanwhile, let's shed some light on the democrats glaring hypocrisy in accusing republicans of undermining the mueller investigation, as i just alluded to. now, you recall democrats did everything they could to undermine ken starr's whitewater investigation into misdeeds by president clinton, and to compare what democrats are saying now with what they said back then. >> there is a growing concern, i can tell you, and the senate, in the sense that mr. starr is now operating out of any sense of reasonable behavior. >> we get a politically

motivated prosecutor who is allied with the right wing of opponents of my husband who has literally spent four years looking at every phone bill -- looking at every telephe call we've made, every check with ever written. >> this is a president who, on many issues, is basically beyond shame at this point. so any sense of fairness or thoroughness for the sake of the investigation, i think, is questionable from the white house. >> he is trying to distract attention from the russian investigation and to discredit whatever mueller says in the end. >> laura: ha! i love that. let's go to the man who was in the eye of the storm back then. former independent counsel ken starr joins us, and alan dershowitz is in miami. guys, before we get into the russia probe, i need to get your thoughts on this uproar over the staff secretary rob porter. he is now accused by a couple of ex-wives of indecent behavior,

and this was an absolute firestorm in the white house briefing room today. professor dershowitz, your reaction to the pretty quick takedown of rob porter? >> well, i want to make a legitimate point. i think everybody who is accused by the #madeto people should have an opportunity to make their case, to present their argument. it used to be that it was a she said-he said dispute, now it is a she said-you can't even respond dispute. both sides have to be heard. a process has to be put in place, whether in the white house, and congress, anywhere else, whether it is a republican, like in this case, or a democrat like al franken, there has to be an opportunity for both sides to present evidence and there has to be a fair process. sometimes it is obvious, it sometimes it's clear, but even in the bill cosby case, where it

seems so obvious to everybody, the jury came back with a hung jury. so we need to have a process. we can't suspend due process just because there is a movement afoot that is making some very, very important points. but we need you process. >> laura: judge starr, now the move seems to be to take down kelly because kelly has worked side-by-side by him, even as one of his ex-wives said, i don't want him to lose his position in the white house. he is incredibly smart, incredibly dedicated to his job, but i personally had -- they had a bad relationship, according to her. but now they are saying kelly has got to go because kelly actually stood up for his integrity because, as alan dershowitz said, these were accusations, haven't seen a photo or anything like that i guess. >> wright, general kelly, i think, was waiting for the evidence, and when the evidence came in, from what we know, he responded, and he responded decisively, which is what you would expect of a good military man. let me add to what alan said,

and i agree to what we said, the history of liberty in the united states is largely the history of procedure. throw away procedure, throwaway due process, and have a very different kind of state. you do not have a rule of law system. it is precious, and so rushes to judge are to be avoided. let's get the evidence, evaluate the evidence. i think, from what we know, that's what general kelly was doing. >> laura: yeah. let's move on from that to what is happening today, to what is happening today in the russian investigation. professor dershowitz, we now know that the clintons paid for that dossier. it looks like now sidney blumenthal was involved, and old clinton hand, judge starr knows about him very well, funneling

information to christopher steele as well. some of it looks like it ended up in that dossier, or a second dossier that ends up funneling and in some way, shape, or form to that pfizer judge. and yet democrats will say, well, that is not -- the search warrant to follow carter page was not only based in part on that.my dossier. so you can throw the baby out with the bathwater. >> well, we don't know what the fisa court decided, how much weight they gave anything. we don't know how much weight was given by the fisa court to anything. what we do know is, people who follow an application x partake have a special obligation and to make sure they are relying on something, and they know there are questions about his credibility because of the source. they have an obligation to presented full fulsomely to the

court. that is not good enough. you need to present -- you need to act as if the defense is presenting their side. you have an obligation to present both sides of the issue. again, as ken said, it is all about process. process is the way we achieve process, and i think there are problems with the process. i want to hear both sides of the issue, but at the moment, i think there was a breakdown of process. >> laura: judge starr, as a former appellate court judge, you think about this fisa judge, we don't know who it is. i guess there were a number of judges involved, if a material fact had been withheld in that application to spy on an american citizen and a material fact is, the opposition candidate paid for the dossier among other things, is there any recourse for the judge at this point? is there sanctions that can be filed against certain justice department attorneys?

we had a guest on the other night who said he thought there could be ethical issues for the fbi and maybe even criminal charges if, indeed, there was a conspiracy to keep this information. >> is serious. let's not rush to judgment. let's be consistent and say, we need to know how that pfizer application for the renewal was. who prepared it, what did they know, when did they know it. i think this is very serious for the reasons that alan stated. another reason, the fisa regime was designed to produce a judicial check on what might otherwise be an untrammeled executive excess of potential abuses. and so there is a very special -- call it a fiduciary relationship that i think it's very deep, probably as deep as it gets. there always should be honesty and transparency, but it is all

the more sensitive when you are talking about the power of the executive branch to spy on americans -- >> laura: go back and read your emails. there is one more sound bite i want to play for your you guys. this is eric holder, former attorney general, speaking out today. let's watch. >> if one looks at the dismissal of james comey and the reasons by the president told lester holt he did that, if you look at the president's attempts to get people who were heads of the intelligence agencies to get involved in this matter, if you look at the president's as -- , i think you technically have a case of obstruction of justice. >> laura: professor dershowitz, your reaction to that very quickly? >> well, i think he's wrong. president george bush the first did practically the same thing when it came to the iran contract. he pardoned caspar weinberger and a handful of other

witnesses, nobody suggested obstruction of justice. a president can't obstruct justice, in my view, if you simply exercise his constitutional authority. he has to do something like perjury, destroyed evidence, pay hush money the way nixon did. >> laura: eric holder has an interesting way of looking at these facts. but i knew dersh would get it right as usual. the dynamic duo, fantastic. by the way, it's ironic, don't you think, how the democrats keep pedaling the small story of the collusion with russia, and meanwhile, the potential evidence of the obama administration's actual collusion with russia keeps growing. i'll give you the details when we come back. stay there. stay at la quinta. where we're changing with stylish make-overs. then at your next meeting, set your seat height to its maximum level. bravo, tall meeting man. start winning today. book now at lq.com with advil's fast relief,

>> laura: and fbi informant is telling congress that the russian government paid millions of dollars to influence the obama administration and then-secretary of state hillary clinton to approve the uranium one deal. informants douglas campbell is now saying that the money was to go from a u.s. lobbying firm that is, by the way, populated with it a bunch of clinton ista istas, and the plot thickens from there. here is ed henry to put this new revelation and perspective for

us. >> laura, good to see. fox has confirmed that douglas campbell spent four hours behind closed doors answering questions from staffers as well as the house government oversight and intelligence committees, and he said in private that moscow paid millions to that u.s. lobbying firm to try and influence then-secretary of state hillary clinton even though she has insisted she was hands-off in this deal. this was a major deal during the years that allowed a russian nuclear energy to gain a controlling stake in uranium one, canadian-based company with mining interests in the u.s., sweetheart deal that led some russian officials to tell this informant that the fix was in. "behold" newspapers saying that after it was hired by the russians to influence the obama administration, hillary clinton in particular, and they spent millions doing it. a lawyer for the fbi informant told fox that the russians lay the groundwork for this deal after former president bill clinton and a wealthy canadian philanthropist and investor in any uranium one

went to because in 2006. a major donor of the clinton foundation said he later sold his stake before the deal went through and 18 months before hillary clinton became secretary of state. she had the final say on this matter, but it first required approval by nine different government agencies, but the former president received a $5,500,000 speaking fee and donations floated into the clinton foundation from him, which they argued was payback. hillary clinton insisted she had nothing to do with approving this and said this in an interview. >> i had nothing to do with the decision. now, that is fact. i had nothing to do with it. it was delegated to somebody else in the state department, and nine people had to agree, and they all agreed from all of the different agencies in our department, and then two republican governors had to agree. >> quentin's aides have said this was a premanufactured scandal, and democrats say fbo officials have privately told them they have lost confidence

in this informant. a member, the trump justice department has sent signals that uranium one and other clinton foundation problems are getting new scrutiny, laura. >> laura: thanks so much for that report, ed. really helpful. let's get some insight into the seriousness of this informant's allegations and the budget battle. this thing has been mild all day long. rand paul gave an unbelievable speech. we're going to care about that. joining us from your, i'm so happy he is on. wrote a great calm today. dan henninger, deputy editorial page editor of "the wall street journal." , it is so good to see. before we get to the budget b.s. on capitol hill, i have to ask you about this uranium one story, because hillary clinton all along has said she had no personal involvement in okaying this deal. she was 1 of 9 different agencies, but she said it wasn't her deal.

>> she is trying to put some distance, as are the democrats, such as elijah cummings, a democratic, suggesting the republicans are raising the issue to distract from the russian investigation. let's get something clear. most of the russian inclusion story at this point is mainly conjecture. meanwhile, the sale of uranium one was approved by cfius, on which she sat, and that is a fact. destroy that ed henry, the story henry laid out, but the relationship between the clinton foundation and the owners of uranium one is well known. and i might add one more thing, laura. we know that in 2015, the fbi set up an investigation into the relationship between the clinton investigation and various pay to play accusations. the justice department more or less shut that down in 2016, but "the washington post" in my post reported that that investigation, led by four fbi

offices into the clinton foundation, has been revived. possibly the fbi will get to the bottom of the uranium one story. >> laura: another thing that is really interesting here is that the clinton -- i think the clinton spokesperson said that they weren't even aware of the fbi's investigation. most of the cfius committee that approved this sale -- again, 20% of u.s. uranium production, richly canadian, barred by the russians, a russian owned con my company named rosatom, the racketeer in, the influence going on. to me, that seems bizarre that they wind know that the fbi is looking into this. >> how could be state department seriously argue that they didn't know that any of this was going on? even back then, the fbi had offices in new york, washington, los angeles, and little rock

starting this investigation. it is just beyond belief that the clinton foundation at least wasn't advised that the fbi was making this, surely this would have found its way to the secretary of state. >> laura: let's move to draining the swamp. what we thought was going to happen with the republicans in charge of the house, the senate, and still some fiscal responsibility in this budget process, but here we are again right up against the clock. rand paul gave a speech today on the senate floor, it was unbelievable, let's watch a piece of it. >> are you going to cheer for the republicans and democrats holding hands and having a trillion dollar deficit, or are you going to say to yourself, hmm, i'm suspicious that the republicans and democrats are clasping hands and giving us a trillion dollar deficit. >> laura: dan, a trillion

dollars added to the deficit, trillion dollars we are going to have to borrow. your reaction? >> well, kind of a mixed feeling about what senator paul is doing here. i certainly agree with him. we don't want to drive the deficit towards a trillion dollars, but this is really the 11th hour, literally, to be stepping in here and holding up this budget, really about finally extending sufficient funding. when the defense secretary mattis came up and said, look, guys, if we don't get this money, we are going to continue of soldiers, pilots, killed in training exercises. we simply do not have what we need. they need to get that done. i do think there is a problem here. the government shutdown, that was owned by the democrats last time that happened. i think they're going to step back, point to senator paul, say, it is your guy that is threatening to shut down the government now. he is taking political heat of

the democrats. >> laura: dan, do you know what he is doing? i talked to one of his people earlier tonight. they just want to vote on the amendment. they just want to vote on the amendment to stay within their budget limitations. if he gets that boat, then they will be able to go forward. they are just looking for a vote on an amendment. i don't know why they won't give that vote. >> government is supposed to shut down at midnight. if they can do that, i think that we have to get that done. it's not so much they discretionary spending inside the budget. the real problem, as senator paul knows, the entitlement spending, social security, medicare, medicaid. >> laura: always is. >> not going to do anything about that unless you get more than 51 senators in the senate as we have now. >> laura: dan heninger, thank you. we are coming to you from the city we all love, wonderful new orleans, but it has a lot of problems, a lot of violent crime, and a mayor who seems more intent on tearing down

statues then keeping the citizens here safe. we debated that. and later, franklin graham on the vocal fate of donald trump. stay there. r heart attack. because my second chance matters. be sure to talk to your doctor before you begin an aspirin regimen. mom anit's not theirs.car... it's mine. mine. mine. and it always will be, forever and forever. the new rx 350l with three rows for seven passengers. experience amazing at your lexus dealer. today, smart planning is helping the new new york rise higher than ever. as the world leader in unmanned aerial systems, we're attracting the world's best talent to central new york. and turning the airport into a first-class transportation hub. all while growing urban areas into vibrant places to live and work. across new york state, we're building the new new york.

someone's lawn. they were erected purposely to send a strong message to all who walked in the shadows about who was still in charge in this city. >> laura: new orleans took down four confederate statues last may after the city council declared them in a public nuisance. there was no vote of the people. landrieu called the effort a move toward healing. let's discuss statues, the mayor's priorities, and what is next with the coordinator with the group called "take 'em down nola" and the leader of the robert elite monument association. malcolm, let's start with you. you must be pretty happy that you took down four statues, got jeff davis down, robert e. lee, got that liberty monuments down, and general beauregard, got four statues down, what's next for you? >> well, our name is take 'em

down nola, and we want to take them all down. there are 20 more statues that are dedicated to white supremacy in the city of new orleans. we have hundreds of streets named and parks named for confederate and white supremacists, and we want to wipe the slate clean, and we have challenged the mayor, from the very beginning, don't do a half job, let's do the whole job. >> laura: malcolm, i want to jump in here, because jackson square, that is new orleans, jackson square, do you say that jackson square -- jackson square is not new orleans? >> no, it's not new orleans. do you want andrew jackson to be >> laura: do you want andrew jackson to be eradicated -- okay, let's move on. would you like thomas jefferson, anything related to thomas jefferson -- thomas jefferson has to go?

george washington has to go? who else is left? is madison okay? james madison okay with you? >> no, he is not okay. he was a slave owner. he is not. >> laura: okay. so we need to rename washington, d.c., correct? >> yes, i would do that. >> laura: okay, rename washington, d.c. >> that's not for me to determine. >> laura: no, we need to know, malcolm, where you are coming from. and we just established it, thank you very much. let's move on to thomas, thomas, time for you to talk on. white supremacy, we got it. thomas, what is your sense on this? >> well, laura, thank you for having me, first of all. i would like to say, i love the fact that malcolm wants to allow washington, d.c., to vote on the name of the capital. why didn't he allow us to have a vote in new orleans on the removal of the monuments? the mayor, the city council has decided for themselves on this issue --

>> laura: let him speak please come up malcolm. malcolm. malcolm, my friend. you must let the other guest speaker. it is rude. please let thomas speak. thank you. >> okay, so malcolm said that these statues represent white supremacy. i'm not in a position to tell malcolm what he should think about these statues. these are pieces of art. folks are free to make their own interpretation of what they mean or don't mean. there are a variety of different ways of looking at these pieces. for him to say that these are this way and that anyone who disagrees with that is wrong, to me, it's absurd. these are pieces of art, they are created in a manner in which there are a multiplicity of ways of looking at them, and when they look at these pieces of art, they have a variety of different ways of interpreting them. i have been around these pieces of art all of my life, and it never occurred to me for one second that they were pieces of

white supremacy. in fact, mitch landrieu wrote himself said, when he was challenged to take down the statues, mitch said, what are you talking about? i don't know what you mean. statues mean white supremacy? the reason that mitch did not understand that, a lot of folks in this city do not see the statues that way. >> laura: let's go back to malcolm. malcolm, malcolm, hold on. malcolm -- >> when these statues -- >> laura: malcolm, until the last, i don't know, two, three years -- i've come to new orleans on and off for the last two or three years. until the last, about two years, i hadn't heard anyone talk about the statues in charlottesville, in new orleans, in new york, i hadn't heard anyone until mostly outside agitators came in and said, guess what, history has to

be eradicated, we have to rename every federal building, we have to completely reach change history and we have to get rid of it all. had never heard it. >> this is the fundamental problem. because what is happening in the city is that one group of people is deciding for everyone else how we should think about a piece of art. this is, to me, the most frightening occurrence of this whole thing. >> laura: okay, talking over each other. >> they put them up without any input whatsoever from the black community, and now that we are the majority, it is up to us to decide what -- >> laura: malcolm, you are right. malcolm, i agree. malcolm, you're not going to believe this, but i agree with you. it is up to the people to decide. end of the people decide they want to remove the monuments, that is the will of the people. don't ram it through at night and remove the statues and put them in a place -- we don't even know where those statues are.

>> and we don't know what is going to happen to them. one of the things that is so shocking about the whole process is that the city council never had any plan in place for what happens to the monuments. >> laura: we are all against the white supremacy but we offer history as well. malcolm and thomas, will have your back, thank you so much. and president trump, by the way, has made remarkable transformation into, believe it or not, a powerful voice for faith. franklin graham is up next to give us some perspective today. me. the thought of my symptoms returning was keeping me from being there for the people and things i love most. so, i talked to my doctor and learned humira can help get, and keep,uc under control when other medications haven't worked well enough. and it helps people achieve control that lasts so you could experience few or no symptoms.

humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. before treatment, get tested for tb. tell your doctor if you've been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if you've had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flu-like symptoms or sores. don't start humira if you have an infection. be there for you, and them. ask your gastroenterologist about humira. with humira, control is possible.

who come together in a bipartisan way to put on this breakfast. and it shows you that washington can function. we need more christians in washington. we need more -- can you imagine if the majority of the house and senate were god-fearing men and women? that they could argue their points, but at the end of the day, they would come together and work for the good of all american people. we need men and women in washington who believe in god, who believe in his son, jesus christ, who took our sin and mexicans to the cross and got raised, we need more men and women like this. last year, i went across this country to every state capital asking people to pray for this country and encouraging christians to run. and i didn't tell them what party to run for. they can be republicans. but we need christians at every level of government, and when christians come together, this is what you see at the prayer breakfast. they come together and they work together. i was glad to be there. >> laura: at one point the

president talked about how a year earlier he had asked for prayers for, i believe it was a little girl who was very, very ill, and he said, he was overwhelmed by the response, the prayer, reported she was doing much better. that was a small moment. i personally, i felt the power of prayer at very difficult times. the left doesn't understand that, franklin. they say, he's been married all these times, he can have a foul mouth, how can this flawed man be this evangelical and catholic leader in a way? hook does that happen? how does god use people like that? and your response would be? >> donald trump is not a perfect person. i certainly, i'm not a perfect person, and i would hate for somebody to hold me up as being the greatest example of the christian faith to make faith or

christian life. i've got many failures in my life and sodas donald trump, but that doesn't stop me from believing in god and believing in his son jesus in, , and i appreciate the fact that he doesn't run away from his faith and he's willing to stand up in front of the whole world and let the world know where he stands, and he appreciates people praying for him. we need to pray. we are commanded to pray for all of those, all of them. when donald trump won the presidency, he became your president and my presidency, and god orders us to pray for him. >> laura: franklin graham, so great to see you. thank you so much for joining us. and by the way, nancy pelosi's pandering knows no bounds. up next, we are going to look at how she used her grandson to advance her own divisive racial agenda. don't go away. insurance doesn.
