balanced. we are not the destroy trump media. let not your heart be troubled, my favorite biblical quotes. laura ingraham is live in washington. i have advice for you. it's good advice. put your money under the mattress. don't ever invested and create jobs. don't ever invested ever. >> laura: i have been joking for years with you. i have a different approach. i like to lose money in real estate. that's all i ever do. >> sean: not every deal has been successful. trust me. >> laura: i am the only person in washington, d.c., who manages to lose money, it's an art. takes talent. >> sean: you said you want the heat on me. it's only been on me since you've been back. your wish has been granted. put it under a mattress. when are they going to expose their investments?

>> laura: here's what you have to do. you have to know when you are actually successful and expose what they have done day after day, week after week, month after month. you think they are going to send you love notes? they hate you. they hate you and they want to destroy you. but we love you. that's all that matters. >> sean: ported under the mattress. >> laura: i've got it. thanks, sean. i am laura ingraham. welcome to washington for "the ingraham angle." major stories ranging from d.c. insanity to possible terrorism. getting the real story behind the driver who mowed down pedestrians on a crowded street today in toronto. despite the left narrative that migrants don't come here for handouts, we will tell you about a shocking new report on the number of immigrants now on welfare. also black conservatives speaking their minds and the pc

police are in total freak out mode. wait until you hear tom arnold's insane rant. trump fires back against critics who seem to fear he might actually make historic deal with north korea. first trump versus the g.o.p. again. that's the focus of tonight's angle. when will they learn? more than a year into president trump's first term, you would think all the republicans would understand that the only way forward is to unify behind his agenda. it's resonating with the people. it's bringing international foes to the negotiating table, and it's having a positive impact on the economy. some republicans cannot help but lend aid and comfort to the president's political enemies. as trump slowly but surely begins to remake the g.o.p. to be more responsive to

working-class americans, but globalist wing of the party is still in total denial. the old guard's resistance to trump, being amplified by a media machine that's been trying to take him down since he first came down the golden escalator. watch how uncomfortable some republicans are when pressed about whether they would support the president again in 2020. >> any republican senator that hasn't been conflicted over this presidency is either comatose or is pretty useless. >> prepared at this point to support the president for reelection? >> i haven't thought about it. >> it's way too early. >> no, it isn't. not to say you support the head of your party. >> it could be a completely different world by 2020. we have a 2018 election first.

>> laura: rather than rallying behind the president and a show of total unity before the midterm, some of the party end up giving the media what they want, a story line about a divided g.o.p. >> the republican party of abraham lincoln's time is centered in the south end trump is from new york. alien territory, the conservatives. >> reflects a division in the party and his own administration. >> would you rather have the republican party of paul ryan or trump? >> there is no choice. it's the republican party of donald trump which is why paul ryan is leaving. >> laura: the truth is if you want to see real disunity, look at the democrats. they have no real leader. they have moved so far left they left america and they are reduced now to either silly antics are stammering in their attempts to rile up the pace. >> it's a scam.

the tax bill gives 83% of the benefits to the top 1%. they tried to collect a middle-class tax cuts and yet 86 million middle-class families will be paying more taxes. >> sean: we will bring in an interpreter next time. the democrats, come on. they have sued the trump campaign, wikileaks, the russians over hillary clinton's loss in 2016. >> donald trump's been saying for a year plus this is all about sour grapes and it's because you lost the election. what says that better than the dnc suing them and saying you lost us the selection. like david axelrod saying it's a waste of time and resources. >> laura: of course it is. they democrats can't agree on a political strategy. tom perez in the dnc filing lawsuits while other prominent liberals are shaking their heads. fretting over there reelection process. senator claire mccaskill told

the st. louis post dispatch the dnc lawsuit is a silly distraction. congresswoman jackie speier said this. >> i actually think this lawsuit is ill-conceived. i'm not supportive of it. >> laura: that is what real disunity looks like. beyond the blaster and the media attacks on the president, trumps reelection numbers, check them out. they look pretty good. they mirror those of barack obama and bill clinton at about the same point in their presidency. today's gallup reports that among registered voters, 37% believe trump should be reelected. that is the same percentage that that barack obama should be reelected in 2010. at one point lower than those wo supportive bill clinton. last time i checked, they were both reelected, right? here is another indicator of the

democratic national committee might be in some trouble. they took out a $1.7 million loan in february. they are fund-raising, it is pathetic. there republican national committee took in $39 million in the first quarter alone. do you think that might be because of the president? of course the president has some work to do. he has to grow the populist movement, take his message to unfriendly territory, and salads. that means and states he didn't win. grow the days. the democrats are in perpetual teardown resistance mode, trump should be perceived as a doer. he is, a leader who will always defy and drain the swamp will not be defeated by it. that's what he was elected in the first place. all the president needs to do is just a focused on what matters. growing the economy, returning more power to the people, fighting corruption along the

way, and refusing to be distracted or detoured by the constant and tedious demonization game of washington and the seemingly endless pointless investigations. i know that's easier said than done but he needs to do that. listen to all the naysayers. trump's reelection prospects and those of his party are on more solid ground than the media or his critics would have you believe. that's the angle. joining me now for reaction in new york is monica crowley, senior fellow at the london center for policy research. juan williams, cohost of "the five." great to see you. juan, you wrote a column lately about the g.o.p. disunity and cited senator thom tillis of north carolina and lindsey graham, who were trying to protect bob mueller from any type of firing or other adverse

action by the executive branch, by the president specifically. thom tillis has always had a wisdom, in his wisdom. he has never liked president trump. terrible on the issue of immigration, bad on the trade issue. why are we surprised that thom tillis and lindsey graham, they are not populist conservatives, are doing this mueller deal. that is not surprising to me at all. >> it should be. thom tillis votes with the resident 96% of the time, and it's not just thom tillis and lindsey graham. you often, you have to recall the chairman of the judiciary committee is chuck grassley. iowa, a longtime trump supporter, he said he plans to bring this to a vote this week. in his committee, no matter what my donald trump has to say. no matter what the senate majority leader has to say. he thinks it's necessary. what thom tillis said, speaking to other trump supporters and

evidence of a crack finally in the uniform, stonewall republicans have given trump and made the republican party into the party of trump. thom tillis headed hillary clinton was in the white house and there was talk about firing a special prosecutor, trump supporters would say it was hypocrisy. >> laura: it's a fantasy. this is what the liberals have been begging for for donald trump to fire bob mueller. this has been a story line the left has been pushing for months and months on month-end monocot i want you to jump in because thom tillis who said courage is when you know you're going to do something that's going to anchor your base, sitting in a senate office, the same people who criticized me for filing this bill would be angry if i wasn't pounding the table if the bill was directed at protecting the special counsel. >> i am someone who believes the executive has the authority to fire somebody in the executive branch. i'm not saying it would be politically wise. i don't think it would be but the idea that congress can insulate an executive branch

member from firing by the chief executive is frankly unconstitutional. i think mike lee is right. it's ridiculous. not talking about whether it's politically wise. it's not constitutional. >> that's right. we are talking about a separation of powers issue. frankly it's all the conversation happening in the media and in washington, d.c. the same swamp that donald trump ran on draining and actually won on draining. if you go into the country, laura, as you and i do. juan does as well. the american people are not talking about this. not talking about russia and bob mueller and this insane never ending investigation. they are talking about the state of the economy. they are talking about the effect of the tax bill. they are talking about jobs, increased wages. they are talking about illegal immigration and necessity for the wall to be built. talking about increased national security given the fact that

this president refuses to appease america's enemies. they are talking about issues that directly affect them and their families. they are not talking about these kinds of issues at all. for the republicans in the senate and the house and so on, they are real profiles in courage. we still at this point, running away from the president who is the leader of their own party. >> laura: juan, the gallup poll says the president had 86% approval rating among republicans a year ago. he has 86% approval rating now. to me, that's pretty good. i don't know, i guess you could have 96%. that would be great. 86% is pretty darn good and i think most republicans know that the excitement is not with thom tillis. nobody knows who is.

the juice and excitement is with trump. all the tweets and everything, they like that he is fighting for the average person. that's why the democrats don't know where to go. bernie sanders said the business model of the democratic party for the last 15 years or so has been a failure. people sometimes don't see that because there was a charismatic individual named barack obama. his point is without obama, where are the democrats? >> i think they are fine. the thing you missed and that calculation is you have fewer people identifying as republicans. they become swing voters, independents and the like, with donald trump in the white house. right now, it's the case that donald trump is it, in the real clear politics average, 41% approval. 54% disapprove. that is a real way to going into the midterms. >> laura: that's where he was before the election. that's the numbers before the election. >> it hasn't gotten much better. the 2016 election? >> laura: yeah.

before the election he was at about 39% approval. overall approval rating of all voters. i don't know how much it means. rasmussen had him at 50 present in the daily tracking. >> i would say look at the averages, look at the real clear politics average. he is way underwater in terms of -- >> laura: my point is do you think bernie sanders is wrong? he is making a point that they working class voter has been left behind by the democrat party. he is trying to speak to the working-class voters which is why he had these huge crowds. >> he is a democrat. he is looking to appeal to people and offer a populist appeal that has a lot -- >> laura: they went with the clinton. they went with the clinton. >> the democratic party. i am talking to you about a populist appeal to the people you identifying, the working class. when you ask the american people should robert mueller be allowed to complete his probe, it is like 70%. there is not even an argument,

laura. >> laura: i think the president wants them to conclude his probe. >> if that's the case, why don't the republicans act say let this investigation come to a normal end. >> laura: it's not their role. >> this was not the will of the people to have this president endlessly investigated. laura, the president talked on the campaign trail about the forgotten man and woman. the working class, the disaffected democrats. the republicans who elected donald trump, disaffected democrats and ten key swing states. he's been delivering for them. poses an existential threat to the swamp, the media, the establishment on both sides of the aisle, and that's why they have endlessly tried to attack and destroy him. when the russia collusion narrative falls apart, as is already doing, they will try to find something else. this is a president who puts on a suit of armor every day and keeps plowing through, delivering for the country.

>> not one election since 2016 where you say you know what's, republicans have over performed because of donald trump. donald trump is actually an albatross at this moment on every republican. from pennsylvania 18 to alabama to virginia governor's race. >> laura: we've got to go. thank you. great segment. mark the tape. i want that sound bite. remember when the fearmongering on the left warned us that president trump would isolate us from the world? that we would have no friends. instead what we have witnessed his growing alliances with leaders such as french president emmanuel macron and he is the guest of honor at the president's first state dinner tomorrow night. let's discuss this and other issues with white house press secretary hogan gidley. delighted he's with us. how are you doing? i want everyone to see that hogan has an actual journal. i mean, i love that. you have an actual book. not a laptop. you are writing down like a real

old-school, someone preparing. i love that. i miss it. i hope you're taking notes. tell me about this macron relationship. i love it. they were all trashing trump because he was going to offend the world. now the world wants to come here and meet him. >> they thought the barack obama apology tour was the way to get friends and allies. turns out it's the exact opposite. he is growing relationships. france has been with us forever. one of the first trade deals we ever did quite frankly was after we signed the declaration of independence. it was with france. he has only gone to make this bigger and better. they are close friends. they talk all the time. their relationship couldn't be better. >> laura: this is "the huffington post" headline in november. you're going to love this. let's look at it. it only took trump one year to trash america's global reputation. the "los angeles times," may 8, 2017. france's election proves america has an example of what not to d

do. no one ever because these people on this stuff. we had this ongoing, yeah, okay. a never-trumper wrote that. >> a self-loathing republican. >> they're not republicans. they never really were. the so-called experts were wrong before the election and not who they are again. and they just keep -- they keep having gigs on tv, columns and "the new york times" and "washington post." this relationship with macron, he's an interesting cat for trump to be a pal with. he's kind of putting the signal up for the move in france to put expedited process on removal, deportation of immigrants and fans -- in france. he's not a populist like trump. he is more of a globalist, immoderate globalists. how do they have this personal relationship? >> there are some similarities.

you heard macron make the comment that he used the phrase make france great again, he used it the other day. >> laura: with the flood of migrants? from germany? >> they were both former businessmen. no one thought they could win this election. they are trying to do things differently. it's interesting because they don't agree. the paris climate deal. they don't agree on the iran deal. the president is adamantly opposed. >> laura: the european trade deal which trump doesn't want. >> there are major differences but they have a good relationship. close personal friends. the president said today we are close personal friends. he's a good friend of mine. they have a great relationship. >> laura: macron wants the president to stay in syria longer. until isis is crushed. the presidents instinct and what he campaigned on is that america is not going to stay bogged down in these places where we have no real political solution, military solution, excuse me.

will the relationship have an effect on the president's ultimate decision to stay in syria. everything we know about france's relationship, sending technology to russia and the relationship with iran. not that -- >> i think a lot of people were worried about when trump took over as the president, that washington, d.c., would shake donald trump. the opposite has happened. donald trump has shaken this time. what is trump going to do? he's the best negotiator we have. he comes the table and tells what he wants. of course he wants to bring troops home but he wants isis to be crushed and he wants to create an environment thereto which isis cannot ever rear its ugly head again. the last administration created isis. this president wants to end it. >> laura: shouldn't have signed the omnibus. that was pauline. hogan, thank you for being here. up next, the latest on the

driver who killed ten pedestrians in toronto today and then stunning numbers punch a huge hole in the liberal myth that your tax dollars don't support legions of immigrants. stay there.

>> laura: this is a fox news alert. the latest on the deadly rampage by the driver who mowed down pedestrians in toronto today. police say the suspect is alek minassian. they arrested him minutes after the carnage occurred. at this hour coming the death toll stands at 10 with 15 others injured. some in critical condition. police say based on the witness accounts it was very clear the driver deliberately hit people driving along the side of the road there. for now, for analysis, let's

bring in mark fuhrman and counterterror expert aaron cohen. gentlemen, another day, another deadly attack on pedestrians. this time in toronto. mark my want to start with you. alek minassian, the last name is an armenian name. armenia is overwhelmingly a christian nation. people are jumping to islamic terror. we don't know a lot more yet except we do know his name. 25 years old. witnesses describe a scene where he was deliberately driving into those pedestrians. your initial reaction. >> well, i would offer this. this is a terrorist act. they terrorized the most defenseless people out walking, shopping, families. it is terrorism. just because we don't have a computer memory of the suspect, contacts or a clear declaration by isis it doesn't mean it's not terrorism.

this is terrorism. possibly with a mental defect. but what terrorist does not have a mental defect? >> laura: we are waiting for more information from the authorities in toronto. this is, this was devastating. the men who were interviewed on local toronto television, they were in tears for what they saw it, including children, women, the elderly. some of them could not speak at all. >> yeah, i mean, and i'm going to partially agree with mark. he is a master detective, and he's been around for a long time. there's definitely some prints here that closely resemble the mosaic of terrorism. i wouldn't go so far as to directly stamp it as an act of terror. the way we would look at, in israel, and the reason being is i don't see it fundamental, political or fundamental or ideological motivation yet. you said that the attacker had,

it was reported he was armenian. i agree with you it's predominately christian country. they are not directly associated with terror, as we are in israel with how we investigate terror. no doubt this guy was in a specific place for a specific reason to do direct harmonic crowd of people. a crowded, popular part of toronto. i have been in and out of there for the last two months doing different training projects. what i did notice is that the vehicle was rented which is a terror red flag. effect of the individual came out of the car and from what we've heard was waving some type of object around. we don't know if it was a goner some weapon. that's another red flag. what i will say is the way that you investigate terror. the way you investigate this

type of attack at the beginning really sets the tone for a proper terror quality investigation. if you don't treated as an act of terror early on, it affects the tone of how the investigation is carried out. that's what was concerning. reluctant to call this terroris terrorism. in israel, everything is a terror attack when it involves attacking a large crowd of people. then you can deduce backwards. i don't know if mark will agree but that's kind of where i come out. >> laura: let's listen to what the mayor of toronto said earlier today. already talking about inclusivity. mark, i want you to react. let's watch. >> this is the time when this community should come together. i hope we will remind ourselves of the fact that we are admired around the world for being inclusive and accepting and understanding inconsiderate. >> laura: mark fuhrman. the inclusivity word pops up again. >> i don't think this is a time to try to include all people and

be gracious to all types of religions and thought process. i agree with aaron totally. let's handle this is a terrorist act and i think that's the way the canadians should be handling it. move backwards if it's not. if you miss something, try, trying to move the ball away so you can be politically correct, you could miss something huge. possibly a wholesale that's completely under the radar. >> laura: aaron, mark, thanks so much. stunning new pictures of the burden that immigrants put on american taxpayers. not want to hear from the mainstream media. figures from the census bureau analyzed by the center for immigration studies show new immigrants receiving food stamps has nearly tripled in the last ten years. the number of immigrants on medicaid has gone up almost as much. the author of this study joins us in studio. great to see you both.

steve, some key findings. new immigrants remain twice as likely to live in poverty. new immigrants on medicaid increased 11%. immigrants living in households receiving food stamps tripled. that's from 2007 to 2017. people have been here five years or less. critics say you are using inappropriate controls. the cato institute criticizing the study that you exaggerate the cost of immigrant welfare. that was from last year or two years ago. they are going to say that. >> one of the interesting thing things, immigrants are much more educated. used to be one-third of new immigrants had a college degree. now it's about half. we thought of immigrants became more educated, they would do better. but in fact we have found is there is still about as likely to live in poverty, the new

arrivals, and use welfare rates. average income is not higher. the share that has a job is quite a bit less in absolute terms and relative to native-born people. they are not doing as well even though they are a lot more educated. it's a very finding. >> laura: raul, i think americans are very generous in welcoming and compassionate. yet we do have an enormous problem in inner-city america still with homelessness among veterans and fatherlessness, broken homes, opioid crisis. there is a lot culturally, socially, economically we are dealing with. how do you refute what steve says about the trajectory of government dependence on the part of new immigrants? >> i would say i do not necessarily refute what steve assange. i look at his data points from a different perspective. we are talking about new immigrants.

he defines ms people who'd been in the country for less than five years. in general terms, i would encourage you, ma'am, or viewers to think back and say when they first graduated from high school. after they first got married, their first few years after college. for most people, those first five years of war and they were starting over or beginning a new phase of their lives, it wasn't necessarily an indicator of success of what their life trajectory was going to be. we may see some undocumented illegal immigrants on government services but that's not a reflection of the long-term trends. obviously it's a contentious issue. people have very strong opinions on both sides. as a point of law, our government, our congress made certain policy decisions. the government decided with programs like the children's health insurance or things like food stamps, they were available to all children regardless of

immigration status. >> laura: we get all that. entitled to by law. we are trying to have a conversation based in facts. what we hear on immigration and i hear what you're saying. we talk on immigration. a lot of people get the sense that all new immigrants coming the united states are either going to be the valedictorians of their class, they're going to be rescuing cats from trees, coming up with a cure for cancer. maybe some of them well and that's fantastic but overall we have to make some hard choices. we only have a limited budget. we have a lot of obligations to our elderly, to our sick and poor poor native born. the question is how do you divide up those dollars? >> the bottom line here is that we know about half of all immigrant households are using the nation's welfare system. that's those who have been in the united states on average 20

years. welfare use does not go down over time. >> laura: are you talking about welfare, social security, medicare? >> all programs. medicaid, food stamps, public housing. if we look at all that, 51% of immigrant households will bend in the united states for 20 years access those programs. it's 30% for the native-born. it's a problem. not just for for a new lender s him and that's been getting worse. it's a problem overall, including for the well-established. >> laura: raul, last word. >> going back to your point about the facts. u.s. department of agriculture which administers the food stamp program, they pointed out lesser than immigrants make up about 9% of our population. yet the percentage of people who are receiving food stamps, of the immigrant population whom is 4%. we see that immigrants are using these services at disproportionally low levels. there are lots of other bipartisan studies that confirm these results. >> laura: thank you.

liberals' heads are exploding as kanye west commends a black conservative. we will debate the left's intolerance on intellectual diversity next.

i >> laura: you want to know it terrifies a liberal? a black conservative speaking his or her mind. the most recent example began

when hip-hop superstar kanye west tweeted saturday "i love the way candace owens thinks." she is a conservative commentator. it set off liberal twitter with comedian tom arnold tweeting something so profane even he ended up deleting it. a comedian deleting something from twitter because it's obscene? that's when you know things have gotten totally out of hand. let's discuss the perils for black conservative speaking their minds with fox news contributor kevin jackson informer hillary clinton campaign staffer michael in new york. great to see you. let's start with you, michael. i watched the candace owens speech. we don't have time to play all of it. she was basically giving a talk on the college campus where she said think for yourself. you are not a victim. don't act like a victim. you can do whatever you want. you have two hands, 2 feet, your eyes, your mind, your

independence. you are not owned by any political party. that was basically her message. kanye says i like what she is saying. he was strafed all over by hollywood, the entertainment industry, and more. why is that the right reaction to intellectual, ideological diversity? >> let me start with kanye and that i will talk about candace owens. kanye west, the reason people are laughing at him is because of the intellectual dishonesty. on one hand when he he said george w. bush didn't care about black people, conservatives were outraged. now kanye west says he loves trump. now conservatives love him. when it comes to candace, let me talk about a different issue. my issue is that she wants to rewrite history. she wants to ignore the history that got us to where we are today and walk all over the civil rights icons that allow her now to be able to say the things she does. >> laura: she wants to walk all over it? what are you talking about?

>> saying that african-americans are whining, saying black lives matter activists -- >> laura: no, she is not saying everybody. i thought she was really positive. i don't know her at all. >> i have seen multiple clips of candace. talking about things she said on hannity tonight, things i've heard her say before. >> laura: again, again, the left says all sorts of horrific hateful things about people 24/7. a black conservative gets up and says think for yourself and she might as well be hitler. honestly what people are saying about her. >> what she is doing is being respectful. >> i would like to jump in. i am proud you were able to find somebody who wants to come and argue that black people should be monolithic in all think the same. how dare kanye west actually stand up for candace owens today when he said something different

about george bush? george bush was a very different person. kanye west can have an opinion that differs over time just like anybody else. standing up for candace, who says nothing -- nothing candace said -- by the way, college campuses would never let me or larry elder or some of the people on. i am shocked they lead to candace on. with all due respect, i would teach those kids a lesson they would never forget. >> laura: why? >> no one is scared of you because you are a black republican. >> you are a perfect example of a person who comes on here and says it's what she says. candace has an opinion that most blacks in america agree with, that we are individuals. we are not monolithic. we devote -- don't vote democrat because people like you decide what that's we -- what we are about. there will be more white people calling me a race traitor along with a cadre of blacks. >> i-9 will get all kinds of racial slurs.

>> what candace is exposing is a day of democrats demagogy the political spectrum and having black people go for this nonsense when it's gotten us nothing. those days are over. >> laura: hold on. i want to play sound bite. radio talk show guide, radio host commenting on all of this. michael, maybe you can respond. >> multiple assignment times ht to lead with love. i want to be about love. i said you are a liar. you are a liar because the people you are aligning yourself with aren't leading with love. kanye west. "i love donald trump." obama was right. you are a [bleep]. >> laura: your reaction. i don't have any disagreement with that. you can't say you want to lead with love and then have a president he says that african

countries are a word i won't say on air. that when people are protesting, one white supremacists are protesting that they are part of the good guys. >> talking point central. have you been to africa? i've been to 22 countries. >> why can't -- why can't -- >> let me tell you what's going happen. donald trump is going to get more of the black vote. in 2018, we are going to shock the daylights out of you. in 2020 he's going to get more of the black vote. >> laura: he got 9% last time which was better than mitt romney. >> doesn't matter. what's funny about this is the conversation this man is having is he is saying i don't want black people to even consider voting for donald trump. you know that -- they will save criticize him because he doesn't have black people on his cabinet. >> i think -- i take donald trump at his word.

through his entire career -- you can say it's nonsense. everybody has a job to do. >> laura: lowest unemployment rate among african-americans i believe in history. manufacturing. take it away from race for a second. michael, we have more economic opportunity coming into america today because of what he has done. that will do more to lift people out of poverty, give them opportunities, than anyone. you tell me that stopping illegal immigration, flooding the inner city with drugs and guns isn't going to help minorities? >> you with a straight face believe donald trump is good for black people and race relations? >> laura: yes. >> yes. >> laura: he is breaking the stranglehold the democrats has on minority voters. >> he has no respect for black people, the black community. >> laura: you know you are afraid. >> black people are being used by donald trump. >> laura: we have to go. we are out of time.

michael and kevin. you are both really smart and unfortunately we are out of time. i would love to have you on radio. thank you. we are going to have another shocking example of liberal censorship on campus coming up in our "defending the first" series. president trump responding to critics of his planned summit with north korea's kim jong un. we will tell you what he said. a foreign policy expert weighs in next.

>> laura: president trump fired back at critics who claimed meeting with the north korean leader would be a major concession. the president tweeted: "wow, we haven't given up anything." let's discuss the meeting with ian bremmer. his new book "us versus them," the failure of globalism.

comes out tomorrow. you can tell i am still in my mind in law school. great to have you. this is, i think with all the investigation media going on and all the daily food fight in washington. this could be, could be, an unbelievable development. there is a lot of apps. for the president not to get even a modicum of praise or respect for the fact that we are leased taking a different approach to north korea with all of the predictions of global unrest and he's going to start world war iii, this is something. it's quite something. >> trump fully deserves credit. the fact that he was willing to push hard that brought the chinese to the table supporting u.s. driven security council resolutions and squeezing them on sanctions, it concerned the north koreans, got them to show up at the olympics.

got them to be willing to engage with the south koreans. the chinese. also agreed to suspend missile testing and nuclear testing without offering anything from the united states. we have offered them a summit. they wanted. provides legitimacy. if you ask who has done more bending so far, north korea or united states, clearly the north koreans. it's far from saying we are going to get to denuclearization on the part of pyongyang but absolutely there's more of a chance we see a breakthrough today than there was six months ago. >> laura: you made an interesting tweet, sent an interesting tweet about the nobel peace prize. tell us. >> only the fact that if it were true that trump was able to actually not only get the north koreans to the table but come to a resolution that actually got us away from nuclear missiles pointing at each other, that he would deserve a nobel more than obama

did when he came in and didn't do anything. it's a politicized price. we have known that for a long time. i do believe there's more of a chance we end up blowing each other up but i also think there's more of a chance that we get to a real resolution. i think people need to understand that so far, on north korea, the signs of been more positive. >> laura: for the madman, whatever it is, him rocket man. let's place in sound bites. the democrats have gone absolutely bonkers leading up to this announcement about the summit. i think we have some. let's watch. >> one of the things we have discovered about this new president is he has no clue about how to deal with foreign matters. he is dangerous, and he should not be talking with this kind of bluster. i am hopeful that somebody at the white house will pull his coat and tell him to stop it. this is not that way to lead the

country. >> he is doing none of the things necessary to achieve a real diplomatic breakthrough on north korea. >> it's a mess that north korea has created but president trump has made it more difficult to deal with. >> laura: yeah. >> he has made mistakes on foreign policy. north korea so far is not one of them. we've had both a democrat and republican president over the last decade that allowed the north korean situation to only get worse. it more nuclear capabilities, missiles, cyber capabilities. finally get the chinese north koreans to the table. on balance, since trump has come in, despite the fact that he doesn't have foreign policy experience, we have more opportunities with the north koreans then we did before. >> laura: i want to talk about your book. you grew up in chelsea massachusetts and you talk about how in chelsea, middle-class area, how people like many parts of the country before trump i think especially, people are

angry because they feel like no longer is it just hard work and an education and you're guaranteed to get ahead. the globalization, as people feel, it's failed them. worried more about other countries and he did what was going on at home. >> i wished was a middle-class background. that would've been aspirational. it was the projects, a working-class background. there were no globalists. there were no capitalists that i grew up with because they had no capital. i think the reason why so many people are willing to vote against the establishment in the united states is because they feel like both on economics, culture, on security, on technology, on every issue that the establishment left and right has been talking about that they have been left behind. i have seen a lot of people over the last year, year and a half, willing to blame trump for the

us versus them that we are facing right now with the country when in reality us versus them is responsible for trump. >> laura: would take about 20 years, 25 years. the book is "us versus them." an interesting read. we appreciated. you are not going to believe the lame excuse colleges came up with to silence.

>> laura: i love this. "defending the first," we. the latest target of campus censorship and the epidemic is renowned history professor emeritus. in north carolina, they tried to ban him from delivering a lecture. the committee's excuse. the lecture would not be academic enough. we have the spokesman for the group. we have other stories to get to. they allowed him to speak on campus but not at that particular venue which is bigger and they put him off to the side somewhere. they said you can speak over here, the unwashed professor. >> that's exactly right. out of the get semisecret to you or your viewers that there's a crisis on college campuses. what surprises us is the excuse that liberal administrators use to shut the speakers down.

we have a college telling us bert fulsome who had the number one best-selling history book in the country. it's ridiculous. >> laura: there's another hilarious story. campus reform interviewed students about sending troops to the border and immigration. >> and president obama did it, i felt there was different coverage as to what the intentions were. >> laura: the students didn't know president obama had sent troops to the border. they were like well, when he did it. what's your take on the lack of basic understanding of whether it's the constitution or basic american history. it's a constant demonization of trump or the propaganda machine

on college campuses. >> these are students going to school to get an education, become well-rounded. instead they're not learning critical thinking. not learning how to defend their ideas. they are being fed leftist ideology. what you see is students who don't know why they may support or oppose the policy. they know that if trump supports it must be bad. if you asked at the other way around. if obama had supported it, they would say was the greatest thing since sliced bread. >> laura: that was at uc santa barbara. we didn't show is that before, they didn't know obama sent troops to border. so they had to back into it. when he did it was necessary. it's classic. it's classic uninformed, god blessed them, uninformed college students who learned from the first time from some radical history professor. at gw university nearby where we are, the democrats, some of the college democrats are not participating in some type of bipartisan discussion summit.

they don't want to be bipartisan? >> the left is showing their true colors. they don't want a dialogue. they don't want the free and open exchange of ideas. the best ideas rise to the top and the left ideas fall off. their goal is to allow situation were only leftist ideas are heard. when conservative policies are offered, it will be the one students pick. >> laura: they are petrified of the debate. they are the most pusillanimous, petrified. they said some members of the current executive board have hesitations about participating in events with conservative. petrified. great to see you. thanks for the update. we'll be right back.

we want to send our prayers and best wishes for president george h.w. bush, who is recovering tonight in the hospital, in the intensive care unit with a blood infection. of course, a few days after burying his beloved wife,

barbara bush. the entire bush family, we wish you and him all the very best. very difficult time. a quick reminder, tweet me. we always want to hear from you, about tonight's show, what you want to see you tomorrow night. that is all the time we have tonight. shannon bream and the "fox news @ night" team has a phenomenal show on tap. >> shannon: thank you very much. welcome to "fox news @ night." i'm shannon bream in washington. coming up, president trump's controversial pick for secretary secretary of state mike pompeo narrowly heads to the senate vote. senator mike rounds weighs in. plus, a terminally ill baby has been taken off life support, protesters storming the british hospital. can the pope helped? governor mike huckabee is here on that. first, here's a fox news alert. toronto police say a tenth person has died after a man driving a rented van plowed into pedestrians in an incident disturbingly reminiscent of several
