sean. >> sean: all right. thank you so much. ed henry. that's all the time we have left this evening. i will break this all down tomorrow. be with us. but let not your heart be troubled we'll always be fair and balanced. laura ingraham has had a full hour to study this. >> laura: great show tonight and that's it. i'm telling you, this is the biggest -- we keep saying news is not going to break so late in the evening. but we're wrong and we have to blow it up and change it around. i'm laura ingraham and this is the "the ingraham angle." fox news obtained the jim comey memos about the meetings with president trump. we have a group reviewing the redacted and unredacted versions. now the memos describe former fbi director comey's private interactions with president trump and the big question is whether comey leaked any classified information to the press.

here's what he said a short time ago after the memos were made public. >> i'm sure the special counsel is considering my recollections of these events. these would be to show that i wrote it down at the time to bolster the credibility of my recollection. >> let's bring in chris stewart, a member of the house intel committee. give us the take. >> it shows me that director comey was dishonest with the president from the beginning. >> laura: how so? >> he should have said, mr. president, we have this piece of political garbage that was funded by the dnc and hillary clinton, pay no attention to it and if anyone brings it up we'll refute it. he said it was salacious and

unverified. instead. what he said to the president is the russians are reporting. he knew that this wasn't some formal document the russian intelligence had created and put together. it was put together by hillary clinton and the dnc who used a foreign agent and second and third hand information from unidentified russians. and by the way, he is been dishonest with the president continually. he says it's possible that the president is under a shadow. >> laura: he walked that back a little bit today. >> he should have. >> laura: that's outrageous. >> he has information on you and me and director comey. but that's the position he has taken on this. he is trying to cast as deep a shadow as he could. >> laura: memos to the file are self serving documents. i remember when i was a white collar criminal defense attorney.

you look at those and say, you're not going to write a memo to the file that makes you look like a fool or a liar. you're going to write a memo to the file that memorializes events in a way that will make you look the best in the best light. there was an interesting part of one of these memos. you have the unredacted and redacted version. this is what he says in one of the memos. i had dinner with pump resident trump in the green room at 6:00 p.m. he said i don't do sneaky things. i don't leak. i don't do wheezeeasel moves. >> and it's not the way a fbi director should respond or act and be dishonest about it. and the testimony that the director provided before the

committee in closed sessions does not comport with the things he is saying publicly. >> laura: you cannot discuss this because it is a closed session. >> but we hope it will be and should be. this is information that should have been released the first time we asked. why does the department of justice feel like it's their responsibility to protect this person rather than their responsibility would be to be open and honest with the american people. >> laura: another part of the memo, president trump, rightly, as he did in the campaign, calls into question andrew mccabe. at that point, he says about this point he asked me again about your guy mccabe and whether he was going to be okay. i affirmed andy's professionalism. at that point, he already knew that andrew mccabe probably had some problems but was telling

the president that mccabe was fine. >> that brings me to the question that how is it that the director of the fbi had surrounded himself with political hacks? andrew mccabe, mr. pete stark, lisa page, others. the fbi isn't full of progressives or liberal activists. but they're around director. it seems like he selected and advanced and promoted people that had a different view than many americans. >> laura: are you going to bring comey back up? >> we hope so. we are going to request he come speak before the committee and i expect he's going to decline. >> laura: just hang around at the green rooms upstairs. he has a pinky and sleeping bag up there at msnbc. >> he is effective at selling his book. no doubt about it. this is about learning the truth and having him be accountable for some of the things he said. i don't expect he will be

volunteering to come. if he doesn't then -- >> laura: why won't he? he's a very smart guy. university of chicago law school. if he can't withstand questioning from you congressman, he goes on with these tough guy journalists and can't withstand your questions. stay right there. we are joined by former white water deputy council, saul wi n wisenberg. scott, you have experienced on the defense and the prosecution side memos to the file. if you are not a practicing attorney, it's like a dear diary. memo to the file. but talk about in your own practice when you looked at memos to the file. let's take politics out of it for the moment. politics out of it for the

moment. >> it's fundamental to litigation in the government or otherwise, white collar or government. to me, my memos and the associates memos are factual. facts you want to make memorable. i don't know if they are self serving but we highlight points that are take aways from those meetings. the fbi, these were standard notes, if you will. you can read into them whatever you want to read into them. but it's all about the facts. if you want to put a nefarious overlay to it, it's not very helpful. >> nefarious only to the extent he decided rather than just answering questions he would go through a columbia professor friend who would siphon the information out to journalists. that calls into question his motives. >> that doesn't. he did it in response to -- >> laura: what was he worried

about there, scott? >> his reputation. >> laura: thank you. >> and worried about donald trump's lies about him. what about that, though? >> laura: the regulations applicable to this case taken law -- >> we demand a president like -- >> laura: he should have fired him day one. demonstrates clearly you cannot traffic documents, you cannot reveal documents or sell documents or trade them. he was trading the documents for his own reputation, was he not? >> he was trying to protect his reputation and the united states of america. those were his personal notes. this -- >> laura: saul, the underlying crime here, we see what he wrote in the sedan on the way out from the white house. what is the underlying crime.

>> whose? the president's -- >> laura: good question, saul, take it away. >> well, no, there's no underlying crime for the president. reflected in these notes at all. certainly, nothing approaching obstruction of justice. as is so often the case with president trump there's not an understanding of norms that have evolved and how you deal with the fbi and how you interact with somebody like the fbi director. but there's nothing close to an obstruction of justice. i share the concern of the congressman. i don't think i would put in the stark terms he did. if director comey knew at the time of this initial meeting where he was alone with the president and briefed him on the salacious russia allegations. if he knew by that point in time who paid for these, and i believe he did -- that it was the dnc and mrs. clinton's

campaign, i think it is extremely disappointing that he didn't reveal that to the president. i think he definitely should have done so. >> laura: that's a material fact that goes to the motivations, perhaps even the credibility of the underlying allegations in the dossier. let's go to bobby. on jake tapper's show, we had comey referencing whether he thought the information, i guess, that he transmitted to his pal, was classified or not. let's watch. >> senator grassley says there are seven memos and four of them are classified. is that right? >> i don't know. i don't have the memos. i don't know how many there are. when i created some of them they were classified but i don't know how many of that group. >> laura: bobby, take this away. >> i can't understand -- >> laura: it's his memos.

>> how could he not have them? he provided copies to his friend at columbia. he probably has them in his briefcase. how many times can we accept the answer i don't know or i don't remember. it's unfathomable that he doesn't know what is in the memos. he probably has copies with him right there. >> laura: i say ignorance of the law -- >> one thing that strikes me -- for the fbi director on january 6, four weeks before the inauguration, he's going immediately and creating these memos which he told us he never had to do under president obama and it real sets up -- his mindset was that president trump was an adversary right from the beginning before they had a relationship he is treating the president of the united states as his adversary and it's clear from his creating these memos.

>> and bobby, he said the first meeting at trump tower he felt trepidation going into that meeting. why is he afraid? >> did he get queasy or mildly nauseous. >> i think it's nauseated. but i'm a grammatical nut. let's ask one question. what would happen to a regular rank and file fbi agent if he sort of in answer to a committee, a congressman said i wrote them, i don't know if they are classified. some of them are classified. i don't know. what would happen to that agent? >> his career would effectively be over if he wasn't booted out of the fbi his career as an investigator would be over. when you show a lack of credibility you can't be a witness any more. and our bread and butter is to be a witness. i've seen agents be significant

amounts of time for take information from our fbi agents on the ground in iraq and trying to transmit it to law enforcement counter parts here because it's a new way of creating an ied they're finding it over there. and you want to transmit it to the l.a. sheriff and when it is passed without being declassified they want to fire you. >> laura: even though the intent was not there to compromise security, scott? >> right. >> look at the first note. you have it right there. the first note says that mr. kwo comey doesn't know how to classify these. the default is secret. what is so wrong with that? >> laura: he didn't say that. >> he said that in the beginning. >> laura: he said i didn't know what was classified. >> that was years ago. he didn't know how to classify them when he sent them to mccabe

and others. >> laura: it doesn't matter if it is classified or not, you cannot send government material to a third party under -- >> that's the key. it doesn't matter. >> laura: wait a second. he is creating a memo to the fbi file. on his -- on his meeting -- not later. he went into the sedan after going into the white house. it was five minutes on a government computer. i will argue that case in court against you every day of the week. was it on perfumed stationary? >> it was done in the response to the bad conduct of president trump. >> laura: it was done on government time and government property. >> that's not the standard. >> laura: saul, what's your response to that? if you are in the independent counsel's office and you are writing a memo to the file on a

government computer and you send it to a buddy at a law school, is that government property or not? >> two things, they are clearly not his personal notes. they are on a government computer. he is writing them to people who are professionals with him in the fbi. and whether it is classified or unclassified, it's government property and he doesn't have the right to send them anywhere without getting permission from the proper authority. a.g. rosenstein made that point. he was specifically asked that question and he came up with the same answer that you did and that i did. they just simply his personal -- >> laura: congressman, the last memo, the president is clear, if he is not a target he wants people to know that. he wants to be able to be the

president of the united states without the anvil of the investigation on his back. what is wrong with him saying, if i'm not a target, can you get that out? he's not a political expert at that point. he just got into office five minutes ago. they are making that to be a big deal. it's not. comey was basically indicating he wasn't a target. >> and he indicates if there is -- >> laura: investigate it. >> and i want to go back, first, don't leak especially if you don't know they are classified. and the second -- i dealt with classified information all the time. director comey and hillary clinton be treated just like i would have been treated if i was responsible for leaking or desed disseminating information that was classified. they did not reveal to the fisa

court that it was paid for by hillary clinton and the dnc. that is a meaningful fact that should have been revealed. >> the fact that the director did not disclose something in a conversation with the president. they were under investigation in at least in connection to the contact between those campaign members and -- and told you that -- absolutely. so i don't think you know or he knew whether the president at that juncture was a target, subject or just a witness. that's fair enough. >> he told him he wasn't. >> laura: he said he wasn't a target in the memos. >> you're talking about the first meeting. >> laura: in january. >> and by the way, the target and subject and witness. let's focus on the labels. they can go different places and

back. >> laura: just as people and it's hard to take politics out of this. this is very heated. if we were under a cloud of suspicion and the information that was being used to, perhaps, paint us or tar us, was developed by a mortal enemy, political or otherwise, or business. i think we would just want to know that. okay, wait a second. now it makes sense why these accusations are in there. as people we would want to know that. whether that affects the legal case, i don't know. but the fact he did not reveal that, being as smart as he is, to me, is very odd. he can remember the shrimp campy and the appetizer. >> he and the president talk about the unreliability of that report. and to be honest with you, donald trump talks more in the

memos than james comey does. stick to the facts. these memos are all about the facts. >> laura: why did he want to leak them? >> to protect his reputation and the united states of america. >> laura: the united states of america. >> he doesn't work for donald trump. >> he let him go and wanted a special prosecutor to ensure the integrity of the investigation. >> one of the frustrations we've had is protecting the united states of america. the way you do that is you be honest with the american citizens. and they have obstructed at every turn. how many times have we had to threaten subpoena? >> laura: i think he has been more transparent on what is going on in this investigation -- >> he has mad more misleading statements and lies. >> laura: no collusion. we could differ for a whole

hour. >> and another thing! >> laura: so much more in the memos to get to. we'll wring in victor and ari when we come back and the never ending james comey book tour. when i grow up?

i want to be someone who ... makes the world beautiful ... and builds up my neighborhood. i want to be someone who helps others ...

and teaches them new things. every year, comcast employees and their families come together on comcast cares day to give back. it's a celebration of their year-long commitment to their communities. what do i want to be? i want to be someone who cares. ♪ >> laura: i love redacted things, the big black. don't you want to know what is behind the black. it makes it look really official. welcome back to "the ingraham angle." we are continuing to cover the comey memos to the file. why is he not being held to the standard that are being applied to the president and his associates. we go to chris hahn, and ari

fleisher. great to see all of you. let's start with you, ari on this, your take away thus far in the discussion of the memos. we have all had a chance to read through them. your thoughts? >> there is nothing new in here expect for three things. one is that the president told james comey he had serious reservations about mike flynn's judgment. two, eric holder, the attorney general under obama was smarter and smoother than loretta lynch. and he rebutted the notion in here. he said the white house is beautiful and compares favorably to mar-a-lago. those are the only three things in here i thought were new. >> laura: i thought the president made it clear if there

is anything to be investigated, it should be investigated. the fact he wanted the fbi director to actually announce or say he wasn't a target, that's like a human reaction for someone who hasn't lived in washington. i don't have any problem with that whatsoever. chris, your thoughts? >> well, look, i don't have a problem with him wanting things said about him investigated. i have a problem with the loyalty thing. and james comey will have a problem because it is cutting into his book sale. half of the book is in the memos which i just read for free. i don't like the way he behaved in 2016 during the election. i think he put himself in a position above and inserted himself in a way that no fbi director ever should. >> scott bolton admitted that the reason that he put out the

memos is that he was worried about his reputation. the idea that this is an altruist altruistic notive because he was doing it for the nation. come on. he was doing it because trump canned him. >> he went into the meeting intending to memorialize them. trump had no idea this conversation would ever get out. comey was fixing the scene. and we were looking for two things, collusion and obstruction of justice. it's not there. what is there is strange things that ari mentioned. but trump has a suspicious that mccabe is not trust worthy and that proved to be true. it's funny because robert mueller has gone after obstruction and lying to federal investigators and leaking and all of these supported crimes with minor figures. but what he did do is open up a

pandora's box. we had doy and fbi people who are all exposed that moourl is making against minor figures predicated that hillary was going to win. but now the thinger is out of the dike and you are going to see a lot of exposure. >> i don't think you can call general flynn or paul manafort minor figures in the trump campaign. and the accusations against them are serious and should be taken serious. >> i don't think that -- >> this points directly to the president but they did some bad things. >> laura: i got that point, chris. victor? your response? >> i don't think you found any collusion which was the mandate of the special council with manafort or flynn and i think

flynn's confession was based on a text that was probably gained from a fisa court improperly and the investigators who talked to him said he probably did not contradict the text. >> i don't want to get -- manafort is not really a part of this memo tonight. but we can talk about him for a long time. ari, the more that you marinate in this stuff, the more you wonder how we got to this place. i mean, it really was -- victor is right. this was the russians were ma nip late trump and trump was doing these deals in russia. russia is going to be treated gingerly. trump has been so tough on russia. he's never going to be tough enough for the last two who are anti-russian. but there is no -- and in the

'80s when i was talking about the soviet union as a student journalist, a lot of my friends were holding up signs saying ronnie ray gun is going to blow up the world. >> let me tell you something -- >> laura: i don't want to go back to college highlights but the left was imp -- but now it is russia baiting morning, noon, and night. >> there is a large group of people who have not accepted the results of the election and they will support anything that makes donald trump look bad so they can throw him out of office. a special counsel has been named to investigate duonald trump wih no proof of collusion. we need to accept the results of the election and get the country back on track. i hope mueller wraps it up soon and announces there's no

collusion. we'll see what happens to manafort and gates and the other. but as for the president, he won. let's get on with the government business. >> victor davis -- chris go ahead. >> i can imagine the people on the right -- >> excuse me -- >> laura: hold on. >> the issue is -- >> victor we had to -- >> laura: whether people are going to be treated in a disparate fashion or under the same or similar circumstances but it's i have to ask about mccabe. we have a criminal referral on mccabe. trump's instinct about him. he has really good inning ticket. his instinct on mccabe was he was slippery. >> he has good instincts. but mccabe has four instances where he may have not told the truth and his testimony will be in conflict with james comey and

maybe loretta lynch. and we'll see if they leverage one of those three people for a larger story because their testimonies are not compatible. and again, either lying to congress or lying to a federal either or obstructing justice is legal or not legal. and mr. mueller reminded us those things are things that cannot be legal. but they apply to other people who have that exposure and the american people are tired of it and we're seeing the result of the frustration. >> laura: thanks so much to all three of you. how to stop the swamp and the campaign to take down the president and his nominee? that's tonight's angle, when we come back.

we had long deployments in iraq. i'm really grateful that usaa was able to take care of my family while i was overseas serving. it was my very first car accident. we were hit from behind. i called usaa and the first thing they asked was 'are you ok?'

they always thank you for your service, which is nice because as a spouse you serve too. we're the hayles and we're usaa members for life. see how much you could save with usaa by bundling your auto and home insurance. get a quote today. >> laura: how to defeat the swamp's efforts to take down trump's nominees. that's the focus of tonight's angle. it has been 15 months since the trump inauguration and yet there is still more than 500 positions across the central government that have yet to be filled by trump appointees ranging from assistant secretary of state for political military affairs. from my own experience in the education department, the transportation department, and also at the white house it's at

that assistant secretary or associate deputy level that's where all the work gets done. well, the fault lies partly in the administration itself. think about this. the office of presidential personnel is really important. it runs the president's staffing is now overburdened and understaffed. obama's office of presidential personnel had three times the staff of what trump has. it takes people, employees in the office to process names, shepherd the vetting process and do follow through on people who are suggested for various positions. i realize that trump wants to cut the size of government but there are other places to cut besides opp and most responsible for all the delays and foot dragging are the democrats. stopping trump from putting his own people in key positions what does it do? it slows down trump's progress.

431 of president trump's nominees have received senate confirmation. that's a far lower number than any other president at this point in their term. now systems have continuously invoked a rule that requires 30 hours of debate for appointees. that means that they are waiting 84 days for confirmation. more than 50% of trump's nominees for federal judgeships are still awaiting confirmation. democrats obstruction efforts are having a negative impact on the functions of our government. it causes inefficiencies and it can put our national security at risk. the senate has yet to act on the name nations of several key diplomatic points most notably

the nominee to be ambassador for germany and he is being held up by one democrat senator, jeff merkley of oregon. now, what could mitch mcconnell do to move things along? he could tell chuck schumer the following, the senate is not going to recess until you all start dispensing with this 30 hour rule and allow key votes to nominees. and if he needs to change or dispense with the filibuster rule he may need to do that too. you can't let this continue. remember in 2013, harry reid blew up the filibuster rule for federal appointments in the executive branch and the judicial branch. this is how obama was able to pack the lower courts. trump could do the same.

donald trump has been asking for that. but now some are looking to put another scallop on the wall. who do they want? mike pompeo's scalp. trump's cia director who has been nominated for secretary of state. during his confirmation hearing, america saw the democrats demonization game on full display. auditioning for 20/20 was cory booker. >> is being gay a perversion. >> when i was a politician i had a clear view on whether it is appropriate for two -- >> do you believe that gay sex is a perversion? yes or no? do you believe that gay sex is a perversion? >> now, democrats claim to be against discrimination except when they are discriminating. so if you're someone who holds a traditional outlook like any

facebook catholic or other christians should we assume you need not apply to any of these positions? then there were swings and misses like this one. >> you were criticized at the cia for undermining policies of the previous administration to improve deiversity at the cia. >> i don't know the criticism you're referring to. >> michael weinstein founded the military religious freedom foundation says he has been seeing increasing complaints from those in the intelligence community under your leadership. >> the number of no fear complaints decreased from 2016 to 2017 by 40%. >> good. >> laura: i like the good. even dianne feinstein who is

usually more reasonable and voted to confirm pompeo as cia director last year she announced she is voting against him because he is too hawkish at a time we need more diplomacy. he only met with kim jong-un and laid the ground work for the negotiations with the communist regime. that's all. that is truly historic and it could be a monumental move for peace. don't worry about that. but the democrats, let's face it. they don't care to let the facts get in the way. if the choice is supporting the anti-trump resistance or policies that deliver real results. the democrats are going to choose the resistance every time. it is despicable. consider some of the supposed reasons that some senators are opposing pompeo. >> he has devalued religious

tolerance and women's reproductive rights and health care. not only in this country but around the world, i think he sets a poor example in terms of american values. >> i don't know what you consider to be american, sir. but mike pompeo's life is a shining example of what sacrifice for nation is all about. first of his class at west point, a popular congressman and stellar cia director who won the respect and trust of the president of the united states. 39 in the democratic caucus are expected to vote no, already, on pompeo. and nine are undecided. this is the time to test the so-called moderate senate democrats from states that trump wants. smartly, the camp of north

dakota just came out as the first democrat to support pompeo's nomination. but no word on joe donnelly of indiana, joe mansion of west virginia, and claire mccaskill of missouri. when they are out campaigning for re-election they are always claiming that i'm open to working with the president on issues where it's important for the american public. well let me talk to them here. pompeo's nomination is a key issue for america. and those senators know as well as i do, that he's more than a reasonable choice for secretary of state. he is an excellent choice. and each of these senators should be called out and pressured to break with their leftest red call colleagues for the good of the nation. if they don't vote for pompeo they are no more moderate than cory booker and elizabeth warren

and that's the angle. when we come back, the fired starbucks manager who called the cops on two black men is being called a racist but could she sue for defamation?

♪ >> laura: let >> laura: the two gentlemen at the center of the starbucks racial controversy told their story on network tv this morning. they suggested they were racially profiled when they didn't buy anything at the store and refused to leave. t the men were arrested. should the employee fired for calling the police sue starbucks for defamation of character since she is being targeted as a

racist. an attorney in los angeles believes that the employee could have a case. and david depietro disagrees. i love having two davids on. why is this a difficult defamation claim to make? >> it's a very difficult defamation claim. under this circumstances it was no fun and games. starbucks has presumably that is who she would sue and they haven't said anything about her. they are in damage control and trying to save the reputation of their brand to the extent they are going to close 8,000 stores on sunday, may 29 to educate everybody. >> laura: we have to keep the conversation focused. closing of the stores is not relevant to the defamation

claim. let's try to keep it focused. you said they didn't say anything about her. this is what howard schultz said yesterday about the manager. >> and i think you have to say in looking at the tape that she demonstrated her own level of unconscious bias and you have to ask you're whether or not that was racial profiling. there's no doubt in my mind the reason they were called is because they were african-american. >> reporter: david w., obviously did make a comment. unless she had a pattern of racist activity and being rude to whites, blacks, latinos. i would take the case any daye. >> what this manager did was follow company policy to a tee. and spelled by their pio.

when a customer comes in and uses the far it system, they are to be asked to leave. if they do not leave, law enforcement is to be contacted. that's what she did. they asked the men to leave three times before they arrested the men for trespassing. this woman now has been tarred and feathered as a racist by howard schultz. she was fired and you're correct she has a great deaf nation lawsuit and worse than that, laura, what message has starbucks sent to employees? if you suspect something is going down or going wrong, you better not call 911. it's a horrible mess. but i would take her lawsuit in a heart beat. >> laura: see something, don't say something. here's what donte robinson said

on "good morning america. " he was at the starbucks. >> the police asked you to leave and you didn't. what do you say to people? >> i understand rules are rules but what is right is right and what is wrong. >> laura: i'm not following. i mean, starbucks does have this policy, david d. and what does an employee at starbucks do? i mean, you are in a difficult position. if you think -- the policy is you have to buy something otherwise we can all use starbucks as an office and sit there all day on our laptops but it is a business and they do have seats for paying customers. is that now not allowed but we

cannot enforce that rule? >> that's the culture that starbucks has created. how many of us have gone to starbucks -- >> laura: just meet outside. you try to go to cafe milano in d.c., bring a brown bag lunch and meat, and say i am meeting someone here, and you put out your, you know, bologna sandwich and get your milk and sit there, i'm okay, how long before you are thrown out? >> did they need to be arrested? in order to be arrested somebody had to say -- >> loitering. >> it's worse than that. >> he could have had them kicked out. >> laura: they asked them to leave and they wouldn't leave. >> someone has to say arrest them. >> laura: the police can arrest them. >> these men were cursing at the

manager. they weren't just being quiet and -- >> laura: i want to see the tape. >> everything starbucks does is put through a -- they don't want protesting or social justice warriors. so what they've done is they have thrown the manager under the bus and trashed her reputation, ruined her life in the interest of maintaining their corporate brand. she has a huge lawsuit and i guarantee it will be filed and god bless the lawyer that takes it. >> i bet starbucks -- if i had to guess don't you think they wrote a check and made her sign a release and bye-bye. just like stormy daniels you can void the nondisclosure. they could do it here. we're out of time. >> i don't think a jury will give her anything.

>> laura: next we talk about sanctuary cities.

>> laura: a shocking development in the immigration debate. the department of homeland security says at least 142 suspected gang members were put on our streets last year because

of sanctuary cities catch and release policies. unbelievable. that flies in the face of what democrats have repeatedly insisted is their real, true intent. >> let me be clear. anyone in this country who is undocumented and has committed serious crimes they need to be deported. i am not defending any criminals. it doesn't make any sense. >> i believe there needs to be serious and severe and swift consequence. and if they are undocumented they should be deported if they commit those serious and violent offenses. >> the national border patrol council president joins us from montana via skype. and hector garza is in san antonio. i knew it was bad. i didn't know it was this bad. but now we have the numbers and the numbers do not lie. let's start with you, brandon,

are you thinking at this point the democrats are going to start eating crow after all these comments we're not in favor of that, that's not what sanctuary city policies rail do. every night i hear that on this show. >> they are never going to admit wrong doing. they're going to spin it the best way they can. but thank goodness for the citizens of california that they are pushing back and giving president trump the ground he needs to continue to go after these cities, these states and say we're not going to the this anymore. we're going to take you to court and get the policies declared illegal. thank goodness. >> 37 jurisdictions are part of this. 37 jurisdictions. all but one are sanctuary jurisdictions. l.a. had 16. austin had 11. santa clara, california.

22, montgomery county, maryland, just minutes from where we are broading -- broadcasting, in the shadow of the nation's capital. those are ms-13. >> the policies encourage more illegal immigration and encourage more crime in those cities. they know if they make it to california or some of the tangt wa -- sanctuary cities they will not be deported. we see the criminals being released and pouring across the border. we need to security the border with that. >> in a moment i'm going to share with the viewers the number of people who crossed our

border in march. first i want to play jamil shaw's father speaking about governor jerry brown not paying for the national guard troops to do the work that president trump wants us to do. >> he doesn't care about the victims. like we're just dead bodies or a piece of trash in the cemetery and he is defending these illegal aliens and holding them up like they are good people knowing they broke into the community, no one does anything. >> brandon, very quick reaction? >> first off you have to feel for him. you have to feel for the family members of the victims. when you are talking about maryland, we had that girl that was raped in school in a bathroom. we have got to stop this. we have got to secure our border and get behind the president.

>> laura: that case was -- i mean, it was reported one way at first. there were other cases that are brutal and horrific right in northern virginia and in montgomery county. i told you i would reveal the number of border crossers in march of this year there were 37,393 people crossed into our country. many of them will be released back into society because of the credible fear rule that has been abused. we did that last night. fantastic segment, guys. we'll be right back.

>> laura: let's take a look at her tweet that came my way. >> let's look at a tweet about the angle tonight. from to become a great show, love your angle tonight. i agree that mike pompeo is a

qualified candidate for secretary of state. dentist want to be obstinate at a cost to america, they can't stand the trump pics great nominees. mike mark anthony conditt -- pompeo should be confirmed. they should be called out. supposedly moderate democrats. fox news at 19 take it all from here. shannon: we begin with fox news alert. multimedia appearances at the same time that the permit of justice you need to work for. with redacted memos he wrote about his meeting with donald trump. a criminal referral about tired fbi director andrew mccabe in washington. chad pogrom is digging into the comey memos.
