saturday at 9:00 eastern and you can follow me on twitter on judge jeanine. we hope you have a great night. laura ingraham is live next. >> laura: hey everybody. i'm laura ingraham. welcome to the special edition of "the ingraham angle." as we have been reporting since our debut five months ago on nearly every, single issue, the left seem kind of fresh out of ideas. i'm saying it this way. rather than offering reasonable solutions to real-world problems facing the american people, the left is desperately trying to stoke tumulty and protest at almost every turn. you don't b believe me? watch this. >> sori many more americans including our president has never wornhe the uniform and i will stand up for fight for transgender and all of the

military men and women. >> the census is not a political tool. this is the first cousin of the voter i.d. laws to make sure african-americans and latinsos can't vote. >> president might have met the match with stormy daniels. >> we're talking understandably and appropriately about the most serious legal alleges that stormy daniels made. >> clearly this is something that has gotten to the president. >> the reason he can't engage with stormy daniels is because she's got his number. >> the extraordinary cultural moment that a porn star is more credible than the president of the united states. >> laura: another never trumper. joining me for reaction of democratic strategist richard good steele stein and dan van gino former secret service agent and a contributor to nra tv. let's start with you, richard. the presidents numbers are at its highest point that they've been since last spring.

even cnn had to concede that. trump and the gop see their popularity rise. they say it is not big but the average snow has gone up. the generic 16% democrat favored to 6% in march. it seems like the people want more real world solutions to real problems. the democrats keep going back to the other wedgeed issues. >> well, he's still historically unpopular relative to every other president. the gallup poll has him at 40%. >> laura: that's what they had him at before he won the election 42%. >> i'm just saying. >> what youay have is record number of retirement from the house membersse pretty sensitive to these numbers as well. record numbers off the charts of committeeha chairs. dozens of republican incumbents out raised by challenger. the real world suggests politician who's have the career that hinge on the numbers they

don't have the confidence that trump is trumping back. i will say-- . >> laura: but there. >> there is no pot calling the kettle black to say democrats are playing up these cultural issues. this is the t willy horton. >> what michael duck contactis. that was his initial? >> yeah, but it is reagan and well first queens. it is jesse helms with the paper. you can't disagree. andms the way that donald trump jr. has restated. >> laura: first of all, barack obama at the same point in his presidency was at 46%. he wasn't above 50% it. has been a wild ride for a year. all i'm saying, when it comes to the economy and the trade agreements, life seems to be getting better for middle america. the wages are slightly ticking up. fewer people are unemployed. that's good stuff. it doesn't mean that everything is perfect. it doesn't mean there's not bige disagreements. i think thats. dcc polling that

came out. dan, you can comment on this. it showed in swing districts, democrats would be well served, to at least appear to be trying to work with the president on some of these issues. and i think, you see the comments by greenberg quinnland research. they say in the swing districts they must be willing to express a hope and a desire to work with this president, when his agenda might help in the district. trade comes to mind. and some of the this deregulatory moves come to mind. that free up american manufacturing and spur business growth. >> yeah, i agree, that's going to be very difficult. the moderate democrat who has to engage in a primary fight. remember, the commor lamb race in pennsylvania there was no primary. democrat primary voters have increasingly moved to the radical far left. it is not going to be easy, even in the swingy-type district to went a primary.

let me double down on the opening. i think it is darn spot on. the democrats are out of ideas in the legislative and policy realms and moved into the culture fight. what are they going to run on? let's raise your taxes. the government should have a bigger role in your healthcare and give us your kids and public schools and forget school choice? they can't put that on a campaign sign. what do they do? run on everyone else is a racist so vote against republican, but don't vote for us. three nothing. it is a good point. >> to answer that, i think what democrats will run on in 2018, especially in 2020 is what george w bush ran on. i want to restore honor and dignity to the white house. >> laura: going to run on that? >> you and everyone else on the audience doesn't want their kids to emulate the conduct, bullying and thewomannizing of donald trump. they may think in the economy helps them but they shutter at

the thought this is the man in charge, because he seems erratic, let alone someone not more attuned to the values that they want w to think that the president holds. >> laura: dan, look the democrats are how about consensual sexual relations between two adults is now fair game. i thought it was about free love and whatever works for you, floats your boat. that's great. now it is about wow, i guess we've moved a long way in the democrats. they're moving to the more traditional on sexual moreys. maybe we should welcome that? >> i always appreciate richard commentary. he fires me up like no one else. >> laura: i love richard. by the way i adore richard too. >> he's a greatrd guest. he fires me up. unfortunately what he said is more of a comedy act, rather than a t commentary. the democrat party will bring honesty and integrity. >> honor dignity.

>> this is the party of barack obama using the irs. if you like your plan, you can keep your plan. the relations in the oval office we can't talk about with my kids, because they're underage. richard please. give use, a break about the honesty. >> i'm a a christian conservatie and a sinner too. >> i get it. >> laura: everyone is. >> but that is absolutely ridiculous that thecu democrats are the party of honesty. >> laura: both parties. we all have our issues. each party has their problems on that score. we've seenro that. but i think the economy really in the end is what people are votingwh for. 56% according to the dcc research. 56% of americans in the districts are saying that they're confident about their economic future. i'm happy that that's the way people feel, because it was a rough ride for a long time for some of the americans. we still have a long way to go. i want to play a sound byte from al sharptonon in the wake of yet,t, another big controversy

involving police use of force against an unarmed black man. let's watch. >> this president has not done one word. not tweeted one time, other than to tell police to be rough when they are arresting people. >> laura: stephane clark shot a week or so ago and a couple of weeks ago. this is boiling into a new controversy. we've had protests, for the most part haven't been violent, thank goodness. never the less, he says this is not a local issue of law enforcement. this is a national issue. he made a point of vaying that. i believe at the funeral of stefane clark. richard let's go to you. the racial issue in the country, i think it is, at least on the economic levelt should be gettig better. it is slowly getting better. republicans are arguing, at least trump ist arguing we want to make sure we have more jobs for people, who need them, black white,la latino, entering the workforce force the first time. slowing down the number of illegal immigrants who take

those traditional entry level jobs. i don't think they have done a great job selling that. i think they should. i think dump should go into the areas, as uncomfortable as it might be and preach the good news of his economic reform. >> two, donald trump said to the black community, what do you have to lose. the answer? , healthcare, voting rights. >> social security? >> i'm saying, we now see after a year and a quarter there are thing. >> laura: how are they losing votingse rights? >> it seems to me if you look at what the justice department is doing and not doing. they're not standing up for the votingot rights of the black community in districts and states around the country. >> laura: i just don't understand what examples do you have of that? >> one other thing about donald trump. the problem is race relations between whate he said about to the central parkai five and good people on both sides in charlotteville. he has no standing i agree. the only way to restore it is to

go in the communities and say something meaning. , as opposed to something that is trite and frankly. >> laura: dan, close it out. >> richard donald trump was celebrated by people in the civil rights communities before he ranht as a republican. richard how do you square the circle black unemployment is down dramatically. the black middle class expanded byby a third under ronald reagan and they're stopping black people from voting did you make that up? don't tell me, because it would be racist to suggest because you're black, you don't know how to get an identification card. that would be absurd. i hope that's not what you're right? saying is that every line in the economy is on a straight line, starting with the pits that barack obama inherited to the great record that he developed all donald trump has to do is step out of the way. i think that accounts for why his numbers are as strong as they are.

>> laura: he's clearly the manufacturing rebirth that's happening. froml apple on down of companies bringing back wealth to the united states. i don't think there's a strong argument thatt would have happened, were it not for the tax cut that he help push through and all of the other reforms. we'll see how it goes. theub republicans have a long wy to go in selling free market capitalism and individual rewarded intot's all communities, especially minority communities. they have aec heavy lift. but great segment. dan and richard. thanks so much. and the democrats, seem to have no interest in working with president trump on cultural issues. is it good politics? not according too the poll. the new private poll conducted from the democratic congressional campaign committee as reported found that democrats running in the swing district "must express the willingness to work with the president." joining me for reaction is shelby steele. a senioror fellow at the hoover

institution. dr. steele, great to see you. how are you? >> i'm good. i'm good. good to be here. >> laura: does that surprise you that there seems to be an unwillingness on the part of democrats, even on issues where the president has moved. let's say on moving on that issue of the doca kids from 800,000 who would have gotten amnesty to 1.8 million, who would have received am nesty under the trump proposal. for the democrats in the end as predicted said, not going to do it. >> that's right. that's right. the source of their power on the american left i think a has a lt to do with supporting policies that win them a kind of innocence in the culture. that put them on the side of the good. that show them to be redeeming theoo nation from its ugly, racist,, sexist, so forth past.

and so that's what they're looking for in the bills like this, and in much of what they pursue today. p the other side of that is that america has morally grown in the last 50 years. it is not the racist society that i grew up in, for example. today, you can say that the oppression of minorities is over with. it is simply no longer a systemic part of our lives. we can do what we want. well this pretty much pulls the rug from under liberalism, they have no other mandate than to rectify history. rectify the past. and so they are a bit exhausted at this point. they don't know what to do next. >> laura: well, this stephane clark funeral that i mentioned just a few minutes ago. al sharptonon flies in.n. he gets up and he speaks at the

funeral. people are very empassioned. saying i flu here 3000 miles only for this family. we have a sound byte. >> white house press secretary sara huckleby said this is a local issue is the main reason that many of us said, no matter what we'll be here. this is not a local issue. it is a national problem. >> laura: it is a national problem. now we'll see what the facts of this case ultimately show with whether it is trevon martin or freddie brown. each horrible incident ended up becoming a racial flash point. regardless of the what the ultimate facts determined, dr. steele. >> well the flash point, if we're going to have a flash point should be mr. sharpon should fly to chicago, where in

201-6762, 2016, 762 boys committed murders that year. where was reverend a sharpon there? liberalism goes after examples of victimization. what is amazing about mr. sharpon is he has a passion for black victimization. he loves it. he celebrates it. he won't let anyone escape it. because victimization is his only source of power. he has nothing else to offer. nothing to say about the economy,mi immigration, whateve. nor do most people on the left have much to say about those issues, but they can sure call people racist. they can sure take positionseo that give them this sort of aura of innocence from the american. i'm not a racist.

i'm an innocent, good-hearted american.we we will go and have diversity and inclusion and so forth. while they actually ignore the real problems. if you have 762 boys being shot south side of chicago in one year, that suggest a aofound, almost unheard-of level of human pathology, particularly in the western world. well, we will believe them again, when theyga begin to have something meaningful to say about that circumstance. >> laura: dr. steele we have talked about this before on radio. you're so insightful on what's happened to the actually debate. i saw this going all the way back to college. there's an attempt to shutdown debate. someone actually raises a point about what happens when our fightingap forces become social experimentation places and then you're ant transor your ant this

or ant that. instead of o the conversation. what works best for the military or our borders. your antiimmigrant. the left does not want a discussion. they want to impose their will on others. if you do not bow down they want to demonize you or isolate the tactics that are so patently obvious at this point. >> that's absolutely right. they really want-- they want shameme you. and that's really what they are about. again they have no reason detre, other than it is identification with innocence and morale superiority. the one thing that liberalism hates the most, which conservatism by the way, tends to represent is pragmaticism. how dos we, the nuts and bolts f it. how do we fix the problem? like the family breakdown we see

across the black america today. what do we do pragmatically on the ground that can move us into the modern world? now that we as blacks enjoy this levelrl of freedom? what will help us meet that challenge? nothing to say. they want to take us back to the old world. fly to sacremento. stand before another coffin of another black kid and basically, identify that event with slavery and seg gregation and so forth. and show himself to be humanely concerned with all of this. when of course he never appears in chicago or baltimore or st. louis or detroit. >> laura: doctor, it is a heartbreaker, but it is utterly predictable. to a lot of people it is utterly depressing but your insights are amazing. thank you so much for coming on tonight. we really, really appreciate it. and by the way, also something

that's been stunning is ""roseanne" run away success. could it trigger a conservative renaissance in the entertainment industry. >> did the pope really say hell didn't exist? stay tuned. facilitate smart conversations so that the people who are watching us can better understand what's happening in the world. >> bill: to go deeper, to find a different question that other people are not asking. that's the real challenge. >> sandra: to give it to you straight, bad or good, like it or not, deliver the news. ♪

>> laura: welcome back. over 18 million people watched that debut of the "roseanne" reboot on tuesday. staggering high number in the era of cable television and smartphones. according to the report in the new york times for the ideas to relaunch the show came from a brainstorming session at abc. it happened the day after president trump victory over hillary clinton. it took a presidential election for the suits at abc to regular regular americans had different values than the far left people on the coast. joining me for reaction the publisher of "cat lina" magazine and molly himming senior editor of the federalist. i love this story so much. "the new york times" writes this piece. theyne say the meeting that took place on the morning of mr. trump victory lead to reconsider its strategy. the meetings the readvised strategy to reboot the

struggling mid western family to appeal to the voters who helped mr. trump in the white house. is ben sherwood still the head of abc? he's a smart guy, i know ben. that, especially if he had anything to do with it doesn't surprise me. it is amazing. it is like these people have always existed. they've always been there. we have the coast and then america inoa between. that's tom wolf's line. but then why did it take them so long to figure this out? >> i think the election maybe inspired them. i hopeou they would have this meeting. they were number four, when it came to the network channels in ratings. abc had not been a hit for a whilews "modern family" and the other shows hasn't been working but i won't say "roseanne" is the brand-new answer. "empire" is fox's big hit. "walking dead." a huge hit about zombie. s i don't think it is about middle america.

i won't say "roseanne" is a reflex of what americans are looking for, because it is them. >> laura: cathy. 18 million tuned in. >> exactly but there are series. of. >> laura: it is a but you're making my>> point "big-bang theory" is a liberal favorite. aa funny show. i watch it every now and then. but mol let's good to you. i see this-- it is not like a conservative show. it just treats people, who are conservative like they're real people. they have a sense of humaner. they have family problems. they fight. argue, love etch each other. what duck dynasty did and it surprises people. >> what an audience. >> laura: it is -- >> it are flects what happens when you make good art. this is such a small thing for a really large population of people. there isn't one kind of trump voter. peoplent on "roseanne" might represent one type. there are tons of different type

trump voters and they are unrepresented in's our art. it is a group large enough to, elect a president and media treat as if they don't exist or cartoon of evil. donnie deuch had this is that correcty comment about the "roseanne" deal. >> isn't a big part of the news the demone that watches appointment television, actually on the air where ratings count aree the more red-state lower income, lower education, and yes, when you put that on broadcast television, l3 television, those numbers are always going tooi be higher. >> laura: cathy. >> i no. i don't always agree with donnie, but i think middle america loves "walking dead" and those are zombies maybe "roseanne" did have 18 million vestures. there's a sister that is anti-trump supporter.

>> laura: that's the point. >> that's what's beautiful. it is what's happening in america. i thinkamic the coast and middle america everyone can relate to "roseanne." we all have trump supporters and non-trump supporters in our lives. this show is teaching us to live with that. we aren't seeing it on tv. it is brand-new archie bushinger. i think all can relate, no omatter what coast or middle state. >> laura: i think i have family members who love trump l and family members would can't stand them. it is amazing that sometimes in families, they can't even speak to each other. you guys are family. this is family. family should transcend politics. what are youou talking about. >> it shows i so many in hollywd think they're brave among their peers with the all same views and talk they have the same views it is better to do art where people are grappling with family and. >> laura: that's real diversity. >> i think that's much better than what we see usually from hollywood that's preachy.

>> i think theho beauty of the show it is beautifully done. it is actually appealing to all of us. >> laura: they love each other. >> they love each other, but don't agree with's each other and lead by a trump supporter and the other representation. i think we're all learning from the show. yeah,, hopefully the ratings can stay up. she's doing a favor to all of us. >> laura: do you think it would bed. replicated everyone thought after "passion of the christ" we would see more religious films well done. i'm not sure. i think most of the folks in hollywood. they put prophets second in ideology first. an opportunity to struckor gold with the audience for decades. yet, they have not done it. becausef they are incapable of seeing past the demand front of their face. >> every fewew years three there is a lesson with overwhelming numbers c coming out to see this

different from the traditional values done by hollywood. >> american sniper. >> they car so much about the liberal ideology. >> laura: a little embarrassing for some of the executives. they put on a show a lot of traditional folks like. oh, there's a strain of intolerance in that narrative? iceois we would see more of it. we have half of the country that doesn't agree with the prevailing wisdom in hollywood. that is not served in the dominant media culture. >> in hollywood they say everyone wants to be first to be second. have seen the winning formula they will rush to replicate it. i don't know if they can do it. "roseanne" has done it beautifully. >> laura: people of faith are standing with president trump amid the stormy daniels controversy. we'll tell youov why. this holy week. did the pope really say that hell does not exist? our friday folly segment with

>> laura: welcome back to "the ingraham angle." one of the most devicive issues in america is the force removal of historic statues some want to preserve our nation's history. others say these figures are not worthy of remembrance given the support of slavery or confedderrancey. the group of students in long island wouldn't thomas jefferson statue outside of the student center removed, because our nation's third president owned slaves. last year the city of new orleans removed several

confederate statues here's what new orleans democratic mayor had to say about this issue earlier today. >> you can't change history by taking a statue down. you're just moving it to another place. these particular monument reflect only four years of new orleans 300 year history. crowding out all of the other history. >> laura: joining me for reaction is correspondent at large. heraldo riviera and john caldwell. let's start with you on this. mitch landrieu has had a number of statues removed in the dark of night. these are statues been there for a long time. they're worth multiple million dollars. we don't know, i guess where most of them are? pt boggard is just gone. what's your take? is this the right way to handle theseis historical monuments. >> putting a side what's

happening in new orleans. i really like the mayor. i think he's a very thoughtful man. i think his family has a real roots, real cred when it comes to new orleans and louisiana history generally speaking. remember, i resigned from my fellowship at yale university a year ago, when they changed the name. taking calhoon name off the college and c naming it for more contemporary person. i fear, when history starts being rewrittenen constantly through the prism of political correctness we risk cutting ourselves off from our roots. now, i absolutely get that slavery, this abominations different than a lot of things that happened in political life. it is something like the holocaust that can't be forgiven. i think to try and continually rewrite history. jefferson was a slave owner. so was george washington what

willhi happen when the first thd of our history is cut off or in some way covered up? >> there's levels as i see it. you have the confederate stat tuesday. one of generals if you look at thege history of the generals. most of those guys were military generally speaking. that was pretty much it. you have the statues in public squares of individuals who fought to really divide our country. when yououou look at it from tht perspective i think it gives a greater degree request statues like that should be in museums when it comes to someone like thomas jefferson. he'sne more than a slave owner. it was someone who had a hand in creating the declaration of independence and all men are created equal and in addition he was a president, a governor, the secretary of state. this is an individual, i think we can celebrate, although he had past sins. the other individuals, however, their past sins was the majority

of their career from the viewpoint of having a. >> pt boregard is one of the gems who did so much after the war.er he helped build schools for minority children. hen did so much work to try to bring the fabric of the community together. he is beloved person post war. yes, sens of slavery horrific. an entire span make not so much for everyone. i agree that painting every historical figure that was living in the south at thefi ti, and mightht have even fought in the war with the brush of put them away. take them away in the middle of the night. put it somewhere we don'teven know. i think kw it does not serve us that well. look, i'm not a black person. i don't know how it feels to walk by one of these statues maybe you're told this person hated you and didn't think you're a real person. i can't imagine that. but i think that people who

especially worked for reconstruction or forgiveness for bringing and healing the country, especially those people. i think we're on a slippery slope, if we start saying they're serious. they were s serious at princeton about woodrow wilsonn great internationalist. now he has to go off the wilson center. this is what one of the students said on fox news. the right to peaceful protest and assembly is at the core of our democracy. hostera supports the right in peaceful demonstration about issues thatab matter to them and look the civil exchange of ideas on the subject. that's what their statement was to fox news. but it looks like groups of students mobilized at princeton not successfully. i think it is a matter of time, before thomas jefferson gets put inam that same place as robert e lee. american president including fdr hailed as one of

the greatest generals and christian gentlemen, that's fdr commemoration of robert e lee. it is a wild territory. i don't know where it ends. >> i would have to disagree it is a slippery slope if we continue to put these individuals these confederate generalon as thomas jefferson. they are not in similar categories as thomas jefferson. you have individuals who really founded our country, christian principles and robert e lee democrats who look to destroy the fabric of our country. and african-americans. >> he didn't own slaves his wife did. >> african-americans see this as a problem, because you see many that celebrate this and not put it in the proper categorization if you put in the museum by all means. we can't erase our history certainly not. we should not celebrate in public squares and allowing for people t to think there is nothg wrong. >> laura: should we rename washington, d.c. >> you know, just going back to.

>> he owned slaves not too far from here. >> i get it. >> thousands of acres of land. >> john c calhoon in 1950s was voted one of the five greatest senators in american history by a senate, an elite senate panel that included john f kennedy. so senator kennedy is one who picked john calhoon in the 1950s. my fear is as contemporary moreys and values and who is in and who is out change, we'll continually be erasing. history will have to be written in pencil, rather than ink. i don't think it gets anyone anywhere. but there was a time in this country at the beginning of the reaction to reconstruction, the beginning of jim crow where statues were erected, specifically to stick it to blackk people, to let them know whoti was still boss, and who ws

subordinate. those statues, they may have the facade is historic monument, but the real purpose is a racialist social statement rather than historic remembrance. you can look at them. it is easy to find their history and determine how y you feel bad on that. >> laura: great segment and hillary clinton,, by the way has a brand-new victim card to play. i'll perform a tune for her on the world tiniest violin after this. and serve with confidence that it's safe. this is a diamond you can follow from mine to finger, and trust it never fell into the wrong hands. ♪ ♪ this is a shipment transferred two hundred times, transparently tracked from port to port. this is the ibm blockchain, built for smarter business. built to run on the ibm cloud.

>> laura >> laura: welcome back to our special "culture wars in the age of trump." if a cold shiver just ran down your spine. maybe you felt hillary clinton was coming. this time about the backlash to our constant election loss gripping. >> i was really struck by how ipeople said that to me. mostly people in the press for whatever reason. oh, you know go away, go away. and i had one of the young people who works for me go back and do a bit of research. they never said that to any man who was not elected. >> laura: well, just tossing out. maybe it is because no male failed nominee in modern history has gone on the never

ending speaking tour blaming almost everything imaginable for his loss what and who does hillary clinton have leftjo to scapegoat. joining me catty pav liberal of town hall. com and antoine c wright. hillary clinton has been on a book tour that never ends. it just goes on and on and on. it is like cher farewell tour. it keep going on and on. the book was titled "what happened." antoine, here's what happened. hillary lost and forgot middle america. but hillary is blaming sexism, when democrats say, time to leave theve stage, please. yourur reaction to this. >> my i reaction is this. i think it is quite disgusting to harp on what hillary clinton as a h private citizen is doingn her private life. she lost the election. she lost the electric storeical collegee because 3 million more voted than president donald

trump. she lost the electorial college. she's in the private life. getting paid for speeches why does the right wing harp on what hillary clinton says? i don't think hillary clinton gives two cents what the right wing is doing. leave her alone let her be. she is the first lady, secretary of state, and u.s. senate, let her be hillary clinton her private life. >> laura: as long as that's thes way the left will treat the right. we can just. as long as we just don't talk about each other. >> laura, i don't. laura, what i don't remember is-- i don't remember anyone harping on whether it is joe bidenen or bachmann. or other people. >> hillary clintonnl i only covered two major presidential elections i remember al gore losing the election. instead of going out and talking about the reasons he lost unending. he found a pet project in global

warming. hillary clinton could do the same. the global warming worked for al gore for a numbero of years to help his party in the left. hillary clinton is stuck in the ideas everything is still about her. she can't move on. she's insulting. >> that's not true. >> let met finish my point. insulting women across the board and insulting voters in red states where senate democrats are vulnerable. it is not the right wing conspiracysy talking about hillary clinton. it is hillary clinton talking about herself. it is people like senator dig durband who democratic senators saying hillary you're not being helpful. it is time to move along. ever lawyer the new york times and washington post reported unnamed democrats were hoping that hillary would just enjoy retirement. but they need to move on from the clintons. the clintons had their run. they did the clinton foundation and all of the stuff surrounding that. they had their run. it is time to go. now looking to the future for the democrat

party and harris and a lot of interesting a people. that's the point. it is not about sexism antoine. it is they had their time. they had their time. she made a good run. it didn't work. that's all. >> laura, i agree with the fact that weee have to move on from e 2016e election. there are a couple of points. people want to know what happened. they want to know what happened in the election.ca so in the future democrats can perhaps trip up from the things winning the white house. i don't think there's nothing wrong talking about what happened in the last election. >> here's some advice about what happened. >> don't nominate hillary clinton. >> let you win or you learn. she is talking about what she learned. >> she hasn't learned anything. >> but she's talking aboutso in her book. >> she said she drank chardonnay, because she was bummed out about. used that joke 15 times. it is a jeck that worked the first time

and now i drink chardonnay. >> okay. great. >> if mitt romney. >> excuse me learning from your mistakes and helping the party move forward. instead it is a pity party for her. in the meantime she is damaging democrats trying to get their partiy become together. by the deplorable arguments that white women only do was her husbands do. her elitist attitude is only pulling them back in fine for republicans. she is helpful. >> laura: antoine close it out. >> that's th point. the republicans want to pivot to something to take their eyes off the most toxic president to occupy in donald trump with the numbers in the tank. and they want to use hillary clinton as that something else. >> laura: all: right. well, his numbers are the highest they've been since last year. not too far where obama was in his first year in office at 46%.

but great segment. just in time for easter. what may prove a heavenly secret weapon in college basketball final four. stay tubed.

>> laura: this years cinderella run of loyola university that may be the biggest surprise so far. the person stealing the spotlight has not been the player but the chap lane and diehard supporter 98-year-old sister delloris schmidt. she's been routeing for the team forea six decades since ice ha s president and captured the hart of fans and fauxes i sister jean may be the only none to inspire the sports merchandise from tt- shirts to socks and yes, even sister jeanne bauble heads. u.s.a today reports that sales of sister jean merchandise has

beenes through the roof leadingp to tomorrow night's game. i love it. the 11 seed chicago loyola chambers take on the wolverines. great match-up today at the press conference sister jeanne provided wisdom and perspective on the game that i really like. we have a little slogan that we say. worship, works, and win. and so we need to do all of those things. and if god always hears, but maybe he thinks it is better for us to do the l, instead of the w. we have to accept that. wow. here's hoping sister jeanne and loyola cinderella runs continues. that's all of thehe time we have on this special edition of the "the ingraham angle." a blessed good friday and passover to all of you. i'll be off next week for easter break with my kids, but fear

not, we have a great line-up of guests hosts to fill in up next it is shannon brien. have a wonderful easter and passover everyone. everyone. good night from washington. ♪ ♪ >> shannon: hello and welcome to "fox news @ night." i'm shannon bream in washington. california governor jerry brown sparking new outrage tonight with five more pardons for illegal aliens. each holding criminal records. including one convicted of inflicting bodily injury on a spouse or cohabitant. a threatening crime with the intent to terrorize. not the first time brown has pardoned criminal aliens but it comes at a critical moment for the democratic governor, because yet another county is thinking about resisting california resisting california as a sanctuary state policy. the rebelling against the resistance is growing. it comes amid a new poll
