>> sean: thank you, all. you guys have been amazing. it's been a sad night for the state of texas. let not your heart be troubled. laura ingraham is following all of this live next. laura, i wish i was handing you off better news. s so much, great show. i am laura ingraham, this is "the ingraham angle." there was another explosion and texas denied. authorities are saying they have no reason right now to believe that the incident is related to the previous explosions. we are expecting a press conference from law enforcement officials, but for now, let's go to fox news' katie's nomex casey stegall. >> laura, good evening. hopefully we get more on this press conference, not only have they said that they don't believe this incident happened -- that it was related to the package bombs, and that doesn't make a whole lot of sense, because it is not every

day an incendiary device goes off at a store. either the federal authorities who came out and said that, both from the atf and fbi, they may know something that they don't want to disclose to the public, that they were able to rule out right away that this didn't fit the hallmarks of the other incidents, or it is possible that this was a copycat crime. again, that is all speculation because we simply don't know. hopefully we can get some clarification soon. what we do know right now is that one employee at that goodwill store was injured. apparently there was this incendiary device, according to the atf and the fbi, and it went off, injuring the employee. so we do know that right now, and goodwill industries of austin has sent out a message on social media saying that until further notice all goodwill stores in austin will remain closed. there have been some local

reports of that incendiary device was in a box that was right next to the nation been, and when the employee went to check the donation bin, that is when the incendiary device went. this, of course, laura, on the heels of five explosions that have rocked austin, texas, since the beginning of this month. then tonight the atf also confirmed that a bomb was found inside a package at an austin fedex distribution center right next to the international airport here in austin. but they found it before it went off, and they did a controlled detonation of it at that site. so that was after a different package did explode at another fedex distribution center. that one was outside of san antonio and it happened earlier this morning. that was explosion number five. number 4 was sunday night, a bomb with a triple wire was planted near an affluent

austin neighborhood, two men in their 20s driving by on bicycles trip to the wire, causing the bomb to go off. they were seriously hurt. and explosions one, two, and three happened earlier in the month, and those came in the form of packages that were left on the front doorstep, so front porches, of homes, and went off when the person touched or opened them and two people were killed between those three blasts at homes in east austin. and then you had number four sunday night. number five at the distribution center. so please say this shows them that the incidents are getting more sophisticated and they think of it is the work of the t they say it is unprecedented. so a lot of unanswered questions tonight but i can tell you this is a city on edge. not to be trite, but it is a city on edge. people just don't know where the

next call will come from. so that is the latest right here on the ground. laura, we'll keep you posted as soon as we learn more. >> laura: okay, casey, thanks so much. what three things to law enforcement need to know to narrow down who this suspect is, who it might be? let's go to the experts. a former deputy assistant director of counterterrorism, directed the federal task force that went after the unabomber, and a fox news contributor, mark fuhrman, a retired l.a.p.d. this is, like, surreal, by the moment, things are changes, we might have the news conference. your wealth of experience in tracking the unabomber over years. now we hear, oh, this is going to be quick, we'll find them quickly. tell us what we need to know, the top three things that law enforcement must determine to narrow down who the might be.

>> laura, three things, very important, one number one is the crime scene forensics, being able to do good crime scenes, thorough crime scenes, get the information out to investigators to follow up on is vital. the idea that we had a pristine bomb that was able to be controlled and detonated is very important and could very well allow them. the second part of this is even more important in that, we have the information with the crime scenes, we have information eyewitnesses, i know that it's not sexy and i know when people think when you're talking about the basics of police work, the more you do that, the more the people who are doing that are skilled and trained in doing interviews, interviews are vital because they help people decide if they actually saw something that is important sometimes or they solicit even more from people who did see something. you are looking for the maximum amount of information you can

get. then finally, all of this is useless unless you form that team with the public. because, as we have seen, and as mark would say and i would tell you, and i can give you lots of specifics, case after this casee have prevented terrorist acts or we have had terrorists arrested and identified because the public came through after they responded to information given to them by law enforcement. i'll make one final point, then i should stop for marking a little bit here. and this is important as well. in a lot of these cases, the police themselves, law enforcement, they are the first on the scene, the first of the e something suspicious, the first to stop somebody suspicious like charlie hanger did. this is vital, and we have seen this in case after case from the unabomber to the olympic bomber, to 1993, the list goes on. i will stop there. those of the things that are important.

putting together a strategy to integrate all of them and to encourage people to call and put this together and stop this and stop it now. >> laura: mark, i was trolling around on the internet before the show started, trying to keep up with the details, and it is interesting with no make that with the internet today, the unabomber case went on and on, the collection of data. now you can look up on the internet how to put together a fairly sophisticated tripwire bomb. i mean, it could be just a firecracker, how you load the gunpowder. i watched the whole thing just before the show. people can learn this stuff, although this begins to seem a little more sophisticated, does it not, as time goes on? >> well, laura, i couldn't agree with terry and everything he said, every single word. he was spot on, in my opinion. to your question, the library has all these books, and they have had come up post-vietnam, these books have been up on how

to build bombs, how to build booby-traps. it is really not that sophisticated, but i think what is important is just how sophisticated the bombs are. what are the components of the bomb, what is the trip trigger pressure, what type of ignition system is the suspect using. another thing that really catches my eye is the fourth bombing. you use the tripwire. if i was a detective on this case at the ground level in the city, the metropolitan police department, i would have to contemplate, i would have to consider, that the suspect actually watched that bombing, that he wanted to see one. and i think it was supposed to be a pedestrian, not a bicycle. >> laura: oh, what say believe that the targets were being surveilled by the bomb maker himself, and maybe there is some type of perverse thrill, you want to see if it works. makes you feel like a big man --

i'm assuming it's a man, which might be unfair, but i'm assuming it's a man. it's a big rush for them. that could be true in this case, could it not be? >> absolutely. i agree with mark. when you think about a person walking into a residential neighborhood and building a comfort level which allows them to go up on a porch and placed a package, which has a bomb in it, and then turn around and walk away, or to do this tripwire, which i think mark would agree, would take time to kind of set up and arrange, at least a lot of time when you are a bomb or wanting to get out of the scene. these are acts designed to essentially terrorize civilians. these are all civilians that could have been affected by these bombs. what is the next logical step for this kind of personality? to stand over off to the side and watch how the bomb explodes. i think he is right on. >> laura: could you perhaps contemplate this suspect, this

bomber, wanting to become more well-known, publishing something? obviously with the unabomber there was a manifesto. i know i am jumping way ahead. but these people want to go out, it seems, in a blaze of glory. and this seems to be some type of -- there is a narrative being told here, a story about what his beef is with society, who knows? but, mark, i always think about that. they are looking for an identity, fame and -- not fortune, but infamy, i suppose. >> laura, you know, and terry can address this more, i am a be speaking outside of my pay grade. but with a serial killer, he doesn't want to be caught, he wants to keep living his life. this is his life. and this is a serial bomber. he might have been a serial bomber in other places, he might have blown up other buildings or different places out in the suburbs that nobody really took

notice. now he has escalated, and he could quite possibly be trying to figure out the correct formula, the correct method, the correct pressure device, mercury device, trigger, timer, tripwir tripwire, whatever that would affect the most damage to a human target. because he hasn't been incredibly effective in his explosive devices, so i would suspect that his explosive element of his bombs might be homemade. i would suspect it's not commercial or military grade. and terry should address this because, like i said, it's way outside of my expertise. >> laura: terry, hold that thought. we have a lot more to get to. news is breaking at the moment. thanks, guys. we'll have you stick around as we wait for this austin news conference. we'll see when that happens. we'll take you right there. next, tonight's "angle" on washington's real march madness with exclusive reaction from

house majority whip ♪ most people come to la with big dreams. ♪ we came with big appetites. with expedia, you could book a flight, hotel, car, and activity all in one place. ♪

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: all right, we are awaiting the start of a news conference with law enforcement in austin on the cereal bombing there. when that happens, we are going to go right to it.

first, washington's real march madness, the focus of tonight's "angle" ." all right, when most of you here terms such as omnibus spending bill, no doubt your eyes glaze over, but this is what you need to know, it is a legislative scan because it involves packaging a lot of the federal government's smaller spending bills into one gargantuan bill. then the whole thing can be passed with only a single vote and only the house and the senate. so long gone are the days of the so-called regular order when regulations were done the sensible way. department by department, a lot more transparent that way. each bill being considered separately. under that scenario, congress and the voters who elected them have more opportunities to either strip out the waste and fund only essential priorities. it makes sense, right? for years, we have heard leaders

in both parties pledged to return to regular order, yet nothing ever happens, and it is backed to the mind-numbing continuing resolutions, omnibus nightmares, and shutdown threats, and the result is usually a last-minute budget-busting cramdown. sure enough, as spring kicks off, here we go again, and it's really ugly. democrats are still in the minority. they are blaming the g.o.p.'s poison pool provision, and, mind you, what democrats call a poiss call essential for law and order. >> they insist on poison pills. hopefully they will get serious and we can get this done before it is the 23rd of march. >> this budget had to be finished. they wanted to add 160, 170

poison pill amendments, none of which would ever survive a vote on their own on the floor. >> democrats and republicans have worked together to reject many of the poison bill pill r. >> laura: meanwhile, conservatives are in revolt, because -- big shocker, it increases spending. >> this idea that all the bills come together in one big, what we call an omnibus -- ominous might be a better word. we are looking at a trillion plus dollar deficit perhaps as early as this october when the numbers come out. you know, that is under a republican administration. we need to do better. >> we have gotten this bad habit of thinking money here is free. it falls from the heavens and money is free. it is not. >> laura: i love that. this means republicans will need, of course, democratic

votes to pass my past measures in both chambers. this means more add-ons, more giveaways, more junk. it is a total mess. do you remember what trump promised? he promised to cut spending, to defund boondoggles, and, yes, to drain the swamp. >> we will immediately terminate president obama's two illegal executive amnesties and when he defied federal law and the constitution. the trump administration will cancel all federal funding for sanctuary cities. we will end illegal immigration, keep the drugs from pouring into our communities. we are not going to allow them to are not going to fund as long as we have the abortion going on at planned parenthood. >> laura: but as of tonight, it looks like the stuff that should be funded by the

republican majority won't be touched at all. planned parenthood, sanctuary cities, obama's executive amnesties, and this is my favorite, almost a billion dollars for a tunnel connecting new york and new jersey. oh, it is a disguised earmark for chuck schumer. nice going, chuck. and two of the most liberal states in america benefit. and that is the short list. it passes for a law, this freddy krueger-like omnibus bill will include over a trillion dollars in spending, $1.3 trillion. and it will pass with scant debate or scrutiny. my friends, this is just sheer madness. it is time to stand on principle without fear of a government shutdown. it is time to educate the public about how both parties god off-board. yes, you have to compromise if necessary, but with full transparency, and, if possible, not on the core issues. you are the majority, after all.

start really helping president trump drain the swamp. don't add to it. you'll do the country good and you just might surprise all experts in november. and that the "angle." joining a number reaction from washington, d.c., is the majority whip for the house, congressman steve scalise, a republican who represents, of course, the brave state of louisiana. congressman scalise, it's great to see you. a pretty harsh assessment by yours truly on the big hulking omnibus spending bill. your reaction to what i say? >> laura, first, great to be back with you. if you look at a number of the things that are president trump's priorities, they are going to be in this bill. you start with the fence. the biggest piece of this bill by far, the funding of our nation's defense, which actually restores the ability for our country to provide for our men and women in uniform and restore a lot of the damage that barack obama did. we work closely with

president trump and secretary mattis. we saw two more planes fall out of the sky last night, we finally restored air superiority in this field. given our troops a pay raise. there are tremendous president trump republican priorities in this bill. >> laura: i've got to get in on this sequester cap. i know this was considered a very high make harsh measure. when the sequester caps were in, he didn't decrease spending, they decreased the rate of increase in spending, crazy washington speak. there were cutbacks, but the cutbacks are across-the-board. in the budget deficit under obama, and for a few years, did begin to go down. now republicans are in charge, like, well, the military needs another 300 million and this project needs a couple $20 billion here and $30 billion here, and we turn around, and the republicans are the party of big spending, congressman. so how do we, as conservatives,

hold up that mantle of fiscal responsibility if, indeed, we're blowing the budget again? because we are going to more money on the military? >> one of our basic functions as a government is to provide for our national defense. we shouldn't hit fiscal discipline against providing for our defense. >> laura: at $700 million? that's a lot of dough. >> it's a lot, but, again, when you talk about restoring because barack obama made, this is not being done on the backs of -- if you look at what is driving our debt, we know what is driving our debt, we have addressed that, look at some of the problems in terms of what the cbo scores essay, they say our tax cut bill is what blue blewe in our deficit. seeing not only companies giving

those, but seeing people getting out of unemployment. >> laura: i couldn't agree with you more. you're absolutely right. no doubt about that. but this is an opportunity, congressman, to defund sanctuary cities and to get the real money for the wall that the president campaigned on. and he will make the election on that. defund planned parenthood, you heard the sound bite. i have a billion dollars to planned parenthood. republicans are in charge and they punch it. that is mind-boggling. >> i share your frustration there. but if you look at this bill, president trump will have the ability to defund sanctuary cities in this bill, and i support the president and saying we not only going to go after sanctuary cities but sanctuary states. there is a big fight going on, and i'm glad president trump said, we will confront this party has that ability. funding of the wall, that is something we are negotiating in the final stages right now that

hasn't been completely released yet, but i think we'll have the ability for the president to start building the wall with this bill. we've got wins for the president, but you want to talk about what's driving our debt, number one, i don't think tax cuts are going to blow a trillion dollar hole in there. economic growth is happening, and we are going to ultimately have less than a trillion dollar deficit. saving medicare from bankruptcy bankruptcy -- >> laura: i got that, but congressman, we've got to be honest with the american people. you know i adore you, but we have to be honest with the american people. planned parenthood will be fully funded in this bill, correct? >> not fully funded. look, they've been getting funded for a long time. were trying to roll that back. our health care bill, which passed by one vote, would have fully defunded planned parenthood. we've got to continue that fight. i'm not dumb of that fight. i have worked closely with all the pro-life groups. we are going to be rolling back some of the money that they are

getting. we've got to continue to battle to get that done. >> laura: the sanctuary cities, it has to be defunded. >> the president will pursue that, the big gateway project you were talking about, the boondoggle. hopefully we will be able to defund that in this bill, take a look when the final ink is dry, a lot of these projects are talking about, i agree completely on. once this bill is done, i think you will have that ability while restoring our nation's defense to the superiority it deserves and restoring a lot of the cuts barack obama made. president trump wants this bill. >> laura: let's go to special counsel. both you, now, you have joined kevin mccarthy, other leaders in the house and the senate, all believing it is time for a second special counsel to examine the russian probe and the hillary email probe given what we have learned about the fbi. why a second special counsel

with endless budget and almost no accountability? how is that the right answer? >> laura, right now i think we don't have the accountability we deserve. we have seen serious questions raised from the house's investigation into what is going on with the special counsel. it's not just the special counsel. he goes far beyond that. you see the abuses, potentially, of the fisa process, a very important process. if fbi agents were abusing that, and i think mostly this is coming from some of the top level fbi agents going back to the obama regime. the fbi does great work at the local level. frankly, at some of their credibility has been called into question. reports that have come out. i think a second special counsel to look into some of these abuses that we have seen, and the serious questions that are raised, i think it is well in order to restore the confidence in the fbi that is desperately needed. >> laura: are you surprised, congressman scalise, that after we learned that the fbi blew two chances to intervene against

nikolas cruz, both on that youtube video posting and in the tip line when he basically told he was going to fill up the school, that we never -- as far as i could tell, we never have seen christopher wray, the fbi director, address how this happened, how we are going to prevent this from happening again. does that concern you in the wake of the parkland shooting? >> it actually does laura. i know you and i have talked about this before. one of the passions i have is to find out exactly who had his file. cruz said, i'm going to be a school shooter. >> laura: where is wray? why hasn't he come out? >> i want to know who handled that filing made the decision to not pursue him, and ultimately that led to him going out and massacring 17 people. it should have never happened. the fbi dropped the ball. saw some problems with local law enforcement too that angered me. in terms of oversight, we have

oversight over the fbi, and i think we deserve and the public deserves to know just by the fbi dropped the ball in this critically important case. spoon congressman steve squeeze, always great having one. thank you so much, sir. we are going to be giving a close eye on the development in austin. we are awaiting a news conference any moment from our enforcement officials. we'll take it there as soon as it happens. coming up, one city in california has voted to jettison its state's century policy. the mayor is going to be here to the mayor is going to be here to d>> 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 ♪ when this guy got a flat tire in the middle of the night, so he got home safe. yeah, my dad says our insurance doesn't have that. what?! you can leave worry behind when liberty stands with you™. liberty mutual insurance.

>> laura: we are watching events out of austin tonight. law enforcement officials expected at any time, when it happens, we're going to go straight to it. a lot of other news out of there, trump held a televised roundtable today with top law enforcement officials on the problem sanctuary cities cause for federal immigration officials. >> sanctuary cities released

thousands of criminal aliens out of our prisons and jails and back into our communities. they go into those sanctuary cities where they see them. they go there because their priorities to protect criminals. >> laura: meanwhile, one city is fighting back. he los alamitos city council voted 4-1 to exempt himself from california city law. some citizens data object. >> as i read about it, many are law-abiding citizens, and it reminds me of nazi germany. >> laura: let's discuss that with troy edgar, the mayor of los alamitos, and with the dnc press secretary. let's start with you, this was a wild council meeting, i know it was, like, overflow capacity, people outside waiting to get

in, hear what was happening. why did you decide, your small town of 12,000 people, decide to take the stand against california sanctuary city polic policy? >> when that bill was passed in january when we started to engage this, we needed to do something. i think my mayor pro tem, kusumoto, we looked at this and said, we say california is out of touch, most of all, we had sworn an oath to be on the city council basically that we would honor and focus on the u.s. constitution, and i think this law directly conflicts with that. for this city, we want to make sure we are focused on the u.s. constitution. >> laura: jose, do you, the news granted at least three of the individuals who escaped after mayor libby schaaf warned the community that i.c.e. was probably going to come to a raid, at least three of the individuals that i.c.e. sought to get have been rearrested, and

some of the crimes include robbery, gun crimes, dui, corporal injury to a spouse, among other things. i think some of these smaller injuries, they are trying to take care of their people, they don't want any more criminal problems. as in california taking this a step too far? >> absently not, laura. the reality, a small town of los alamitos, population of 11,000, probably a small percentage of the undocumented folks, i don't know why they did this. i'm surprised he would do something like this. it doesn't make any sense because sanctuary cities, laura, actually make our cities safer. it allows for the undocumented community is to communicate and share information with police officers so they can do their job. police officers are supposed to make sure that cities are safe. they're not meant to be immigration officials. >> laura: let me understand the argument. sanctuary cities are safer because they welcome undocumented immigrants into the

city without fear of, you know, being caught or reported to authorities, even though among those illegal immigrants are actual felons, violent criminals, domestic batterers, people who commit crimes against children, duis. i understand -- hold on. i understand some people cooperate with authorities. that's great. but those people should be in the country in the first place. not like, oh, it's safer because we have more illegal immigrants. that's lunacy. most people, they hear this, they think california has gone cuckoo for cocoa puffs. this is nuts. mayor, you've got one person on your counsel, like a 4-1 vote, one person, michael, voted against it. he said this is going to bring on lawsuits, and the aclu has basically threatened you, in a manner of words, with a lawsuit. what's going to happen here? >> well, you know, at this

point, we don't know if we'll have a lawsuit from the state or from the aclu. we were really careful in how we went about putting this thing on the agenda. what is interesting to me, the aclu is sitting back, all we are seeing a scripted discussion. the lady that came into our council chamber last night, generic discussion. today on the radio, having debates with some of the aclu folks. i really think they thought would spend a lot of time getting our ordinance nailed them perfectly then bringing it back in 30, 60, 90 days, get a head of steam, then get ready for the lawsuit. right now, definitely not encouraging the aclu to come on and sue us. really quick action on behalf of the city council. >> laura: we will continue with this on at a later point, piraino, press or on the austin city bombing. let's listen in. >> good evening. thank y'all for for being here. my name is eli reyes, assistant

chief of police, with me, i have an assistant city manager and assistant chief. tonight, approximately 7:00 p.m 7:00 p.m., the austin police department received a call that came through travis county. the call was upgraded to a bomb pop child call that occurred at the goodwill in the 9800 block of brody man. ap officers responded to the scene, upon the initial investigation, officers determined that a goodwill employee had found a box that someone had dropped off that contained some items that that employee didn't think the goodwill wanted to have. he then passed that box after another employee who is told to dispose of the box. that employee took the box around the corner and, upon looking inside of it, it had two

small devices that were artillery simulators that look like some type of military ordinance or momento. the employee handled one of those devices, at which time, it was initiated, and the employee sustained an injury. that employee was transported to the hospital, and he is doing well and is recovering. of course, as you can imagine, with all of the incidents that have been going on in the austin area recently, we responded to this with 18, along with our federal partners from the atf and fbi to investigate this, it just as we did all of the rest of the incidents that a occurred in the city. after our investigation on scene, we did determine that this was not an explosive device. this incident is not related to any of the other incidents that we have had here in austin.

this was an old military type ordnance that initiated in this person's hands and it did cause injury. there is no reason for us to believe that it is related to any of the other incidents that have occurred, and we are thankful that we got the response that we did, and we just want to reiterate to the community that if you see something suspicious, if you have a suspicious box, a suspicious package, that you continue to call 911. we are receiving a lot of calls about suspicious packages, and we want the community to continue to be vigilant and notify us of packages as they come in. we will respond to every single one of these. we are fortunate that we are being aided by our federal partners, by other dod units around the state and around the country that have come in to help with these calls, and we want everyone to know that, if

you see something, say somethin something. we are in this together as a community. we want all of these incidents resolved and we want them resolved quickly, and we can do that together as a community with your help. with that, i can open up to any other questions about this incident here on brody lane tonight. >> what happened to the car on fire? >> that is going to be part of the investigation, we will be reviewing the footage to determine who drop that off? >> what happened to the car on fire? >> there was a vehicle that did catch on fire, it was not related to any other incident. it was a mechanical fire. we have no reason to believe that this is an attempt at a copycat.

>> reporter: the attorney general night indicate indicated -- [indistinct] said that on national television. >> i can't comment on that. >> reporter: [indistinct question] >> that will be part of the investigation. i will let you know that a lot of times these military-type mementos are found by family members and they do not know how to dispose of these devices, so if you have a family member or you have something that you find in a garage that looks like a military device or a momento, please call 911 and we will send someone out to inspect it, and we have the equipment and we have the capability to dispose of these devices properly. >> reporter: do you know who left the box? >> we do not know who left the box. >> reporter: can he run down the devices, how many have detonated, the connected -- how it connected devices are?

>> i'm not going to discuss any of the other devices we are investigating right now. >> reporter: can you say what they actually were? >> there were approximately 6 inches in length, approximately 40 millimeters in length device. >> reporter: is this some kind of military flare? >> a military simulator. >> laura: let's bring back terry turchie and fox news contributor mark fuhrman, retired lapd detective. let's unpack this. this device, incendiary but not explosive, terry, did we learn anything from the official there on the status of this investigation? he seemed very reluctant to discuss any of the other device

devices. >> well, i think he is reluctant, laura, because they are going to want to try to give information to help the public sort this out while protecting just about everything they have. they don't want to create copycats and they want to know when they find the right person that that person hasn't been privy to information to be a phony leader something. they are holding off just like we would normally do. i think something is going on, that is, if you watch them, you get the instinct that all of this task force is really working well together. the federal come up the local, the state. you don't see any differences. you seem really dedicated people communicating with each other. remember that while they were out there talking to us, while they are out there doing the job during the day, these people are working all night. people are now working on this 24/7. we can be proud of what i think we are seeing. one more point i want to make. we have heard that several hundred breeds were developed and interviews conducted.

that's interesting. we have also heard that several hundred fellow agents are in austin doing work there. let me tell you something. several hundred federal agents already trying to track down the components that came from these crime scenes. that is why they are there. that tells us a great deal. we have to hope and we have to pray that this is resolved a lot quicker than we might think, because they are think they are doing everything right. they're doing every thing they possibly can do. and i'm very proud of them. on behalf of all those people, that is a hard thing to do. i just wish them the very best. >> laura: that is a great sentiment. mark, at a time of the fbi has been under such scrutiny after parkland and peter strzok, lisa page, mueller, there are 500 federal agents, fbi, local police, state police, working together, i think terry makes a great point. this is where we really see experienced kick in, cooperation, transparency with each other. people aren't getting conscious,

that is important here. >> it is. time is not their friend in this incident. takes 17 years to complete all of his bombings, unlike that, this guy is accelerated and active. terry makes some great points about the interactions in these law-enforcement agencies. let's remember, these are federal detectives assisting police detectives in uniform. these are not people that are involved with politics, bureaucrats, washington, d.c. these are cops. they are dealing with cop issue issues. i think one thing they are very guarded about here, just like a serial killer, a bomber has a signature, and his signature is how he makes his bombs and what he uses. maybe the pride he takes and how he initiates certain trigger devices or delivery systems for packages or however they are

constructed. so they are working on every little piece of these bombs, everywhere, every connection, every night, old, they are trying to track down to who bought it, where was it bald, where was it made, that is what they're doing right now, at the same time people are knocking on doors. >> laura: remember that oklahoma city bombing, the shreds of the vin numbers, they ultimately found that. phenomenal analysis. we can't thank you enough. we will keep everyone up to with any new analysis. keep it right here. up next, we are going to show you how easy it is for president trump to make democrats lose

>> laura: this is how easy it is for president trump to make these swamp dwellers lose their collective minds. all he did was mentioned that he congratulated russian president putin on his reelection, and they all went thermonuclear. never mind that his main point was president putin on ukraine, the nuclear arms race. in mainstream media and their allies went into a full-fledged

tizzy. >> president trump never mentioned the poisoning of this ex-russian spy in england and his daughter or some of the other sensitive issues. >> here he is on the phone with vladimir putin. he offers words of congratulations for an election that is not free and is not fair. >> he is talking as though he is a leader of a democracy somewhere else, not giving the context of russia. >> >> by congratulating saddam hussein when he got 98% of the vote in the iraq he election. >> laura: helping them all is john mccain, "an american president does not lead the free world by congratulating dictators on winning sham elections." wait a minute, you mean like when president obama congratulated the islamic brotherhood candidate on winning egypt's presidential election in 2012? or in 2013 when obama broke three decades of president to congratulate the winner of the iranian presidential election?

or in 2014 when obama congratulated turkeys president ergodan, the same man who said there is no such thing as moderate islam? or someone else that obama congratulated on winning the presidency, vladimir putin in 2012? yes, the same putin. i don't recall so many of these voices of concern, or any of the swamp dollars, fulminating about those congratulatory wishes. it is pathetic. the president so far has gotten north korea to the congratulating table negotiating table, and all of the tax reform, the media, al of his enemies condemned his every move. his every utterance. it's not really surprising. he is never going to please them. my message to the peanut gallery, that the president to deal with putin. he just might surprise you. not that you are going to give him any credit when he does.

him any credit when he does. we'll be right him any credit when he does. we'll be right you ok there, kurt? we're about to move. karate helps... relieve some of the house-buying... stress. at least you don't have to worry about homeowners insurance. call geico. geico... helps with... homeowners insurance? been doing it for years. i'm calling geico right now. good idea! get to know geico. and see how easy homeowners and renters insurance can be. it's 6 am. 40 million americans are waking up to a gillette shave. and at our factory in boston, more than a thousand workers are starting their day building on over a hundred years of heritage, craftsmanship and innovation. today we're bringing you america's number one shave at lower prices every day. putting money back in the pockets of millions of americans. as one of those workers, i'm proud to bring you gillette quality for less, because nobody can beat the men and women of gillette.

>> laura: before we go, it's time for the last bite. at the national republican committee dinner in d.c. tonight, the president sounded off on hillary clinton recent comment in india. >> her last statement about women, they have to get approval from her husband, their sons, and their bosses to vote for trump. that was not a good statement. you notice how fast the democrats have run from these statements. they are disavowing those statements like i've never heard before. >> laura: well, mr. president, she might make it home. she might go home so long as there are no steep stairs. that's it for us. want to hear what you thought
