media we never will be. let not your heart be troubled. one of, my favorite biblical quote. laura ingraham is live in washington. i'mli here 23 years. i do haves for you. >> laura: ahoh. >> sean: good advice. put your money under the mattress. don't ever invest it and create jobs. >> laura: let me say. i've been joking for years with you. i like, i have a different approach. i like to lose money in real estate. e okay, so. >> sean: i have lost, not every deal has been successful, trust me. >> laura: sean, i'm the. only person in washington, d.c. , that manages to lose money. it is a art. it takes a talent to lose money. >> sean: you want the heat on me. it is only on me, since you got back. usual wish is granted. put it under a mattress. by the way, when will they all expose their stocks, their investments, their loans? >> laura: sean, here's what you

have to do. you have to know when you're successful and expose what they have done day after day, week after week. month after month. will they send you a stationary love note. they hate you and want to destroy you. that's the way it is. we love you. that's all that matters. >> sean: put it under the mattress. >> laura: i got it. it iser only the mattress. no real estate for me. i'm laura ingraham. welcome to washington for the "the ingraham angle." this week begins with major stories ranging from, of course, d.c. insanity to possible terrorism. we're digging to get the real story behind the driver who mowed dow pedestrians on a crowded street in toronto. despite the left narrative that migrants don't come here for handouts. we'll at thehe tellil you abouta shocking new report on the number of immigrants now on welfare. also, black conservatives are speaking their minds. and the bc police are in total freak outmode.

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

americans. the globalist wing of the party is still in total denial. and the old guard resistance to trump. big shocker is amplified by the media machine that's been trying to take him down, ever since he first came down that golden escalator. just watch how uncomfortable some of these republicans are, when pressed about whether they would support the president again in 2020. >> 2any republicans senator tht hasn't been conflicted over this presidency is either comatose or is pretty useless in their blindness. >> prepare towards the president for re-election in 2020? >> i haven't even thought about that election. >> it is way too early. >> no, it isn't! >> not to say that you support the guy who is the head of your party. >> it could be a completely different world by 2020. we have a 2018 election first. >> laura: rather than just

rallying behind the president in the show of total unity before the mid terms. some in the party give the media what they want. the story line about the divided g.o.p. >> the republican party of abraham lincoln time is centered in the south. trump is thef guy from new york. always someone in alian territory. >> this reflects the division within the republican party but his own administration. >> has the republicannan party of paul ryan or trump. >> there's no choice. it is the republican of donald trump. which is why paul ryan lighted. >> but the truth is if you want tosee real disunity, look at the democrats. they have no real leader is there moved so far left, they left america. they're reduced to silly antics or stammering in their attempts to rilee up their base. >> it is a scam. the tax bill that gives 83% of the benefits to the top 1%.

they try to call it a middle-class tax cut. and yet 86 million middle class families in the life of this bill will be paying more taxes. >> laura: we'll bring in an interpret ter w next time. et democrats are so desperate they have sued trump campaign. wikileaks and russian over hillary clinton loss in 2016. >> donald trump has been saying for a year plus it is because you lost an election. what says that better than the democratic national committee suing them. saying you lost us this election. it is like david hasel half saying it is a waste of i time d resources. >> laura: the democrats can't agree on a political strategy. tom perez and the dnc are filing lawsuits and other prominent liberals are shaking their heads. threating over election prospects.

saying that the dnc lawsuit is a silly distraction. congress woman jackie spire, hardly a moderate says this. >> i actually think this lawsuit is ill-conceived. i'm not very supportive of it. >> laura: that is what real disunity looks like. beyond all of the bluster and the media attacks on the president, trump re-election numbers. theyon actually look pretty goo. they mirror those of barack obama and bill clinton at about the same point in their presidency. today galup report says among today reggerred voters 37% believe trump should be re-elected the same percentage that thought barack obama should remember re-elected in 2010. and one point lower than those that supported bill clinton in '94. last time i check obama and clinton were re-elected for second term, right? >> here's another leading indicator the democratic national committee might be in

some trouble. they took out $1.7 million loan in february. soru they're fundraising, a good measure of voter excitement is pathetic. meanwhile the republican national committee took in a whopping $39 million in the first quarter alone. you think that might be because of the president? well, of course the president has some work to do. t still has to grow the poppulous movement. take his message to unfriendly territory and sell it. that means even in states he didn't win, grow his base. while the democrats are in perpetual tear down and resistance mode. trump should be perceived a doer. a leader that will always defy and drain the swamp will not be defeated by it. that's whyt he was elected in te first place. all the president needs to do is stay focused on what matters growing the economy. returning more power to the people. fighting corruption along the way and refusing to be

distracted or deterred by the constant and tedious demonization game of washington and thehe seemingly endless, pointless investigation. i know that's easier said than done. but he needs to do that. >> listen all of the naysayers you want. trump re-election 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 for reaction in new york is monica crawly at the london center for policy research with juan williams, cohost of the five.es great to see both of you. juan, i want to start with you. if you wrote a column that just came out for the hill about the g.o.p. disunity and you sighted senator thom tillis of north carolina and lindsey graham, who are trying to protect bob muller from any type of firing or adverse action by the executive branch by the presidente specifically.

but s tom holiday tillis never d president trump. he's terrible on the issue of immigration and on the trade issue. why are we surprised that thom tillis and lindsey graham, who are not poppulous conservatives are doing this mueller dill. >> it should be. thom tillis votes with the president 96% of the time. it is not just thom tillis and lindsey graham, you have to recall that thehe chairman of te judiciary committee is josh grassley. iowa, a long-time trump supporter. he says he plans to bring this to a vote this week in his committee, no matter what donald trump has to say. no matter what the senate majority leader has to say. he thinks this isness. what tillis said speaking to other trump supporters and evidencing a crack finally in

the uniform stone wall that republicans have given trump, and made the republican party into the party of trump. tillis saidth if hillary clinton was in the white house, and some talk about firing a special prosecutor. >> laura: there's no talking about. this is a big fantasy. >> laura: this is a big fantasy. this is what the liberals have been begging for donald trump to fire bob mull mueller. it is a story line pushing for months. monica jump in thom tillis says courage is doing something that would anger your base. they would be angry if it was directed at protecting special council looking into hillary clinton. i believe the executive actually has the authority to fire someone in the executive branch. i'm not saying it would be politically wise, but the ideas that congress can insulate an executive branch member by

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

they're talking about the whole range of issues that directly affect them and their families lives. they're notnd talking about thee kinds of issues at all. and for the republicans in the senate and the house, and so on, they're real profiles in courage. still, at this point running away from the president who is the leader of their own party. >> laura: the gallup poll shows the following. the president had 86% approval rating a among republicans a year ago. he has 86% approval rating now. to me, that's-- that's pretty good. i guess you could have 96%. that would be great. 86% w is pretty darn good. i think most republicans know the juice and the excitement is not what thom tillis. he wouldn't get arrested. no one knows who he is. the juice and excitement is with trump. for all of the tweets they like the fact that he's fighting for the average person.

that's why theth democrats don't know where to go. bernie sanders says "the business model if you like for the t democratic party for last5 years has s been a failure. people sometimes don't see that, because there was a charismatic individual name barack obama." his point is without obama, wheree are the democrats? >> i think they're fine. the thing that you missed there in that calculation is that you have fewer people identifying as republicans. they become swing voters, independents and alike with donald trump in the white house. right now it is the case that donald trump is about, i think in the clear politics average 41% approval. ov54% disapprove. that's a real wake in the mid terms. >> laura: that's about the numbers he was before the election. >> it hasn't got much better. >> laura: before the election. >> you mean the 2016 election? , laura? >> laura: before the election he was about 39% approval.

overall approval rating of all voters. i don't know how much it means. it is about 50% in the daily tracking. poles are polls. >> i would say look at the averages and the clear politics. he's clearly way under water. >> laura: temy point is you thik bernie sanders is wrong? he's making a point that the working-class voters have been left behind by the democrat party. he's trying to speak to the working classak voters. >> he's a democrat, laura? he's looking to appeal to people and offer a populous appeal that has a lot. >> laura: they went with the clintons. they went with the clintons. >> the demic party. i'm talking about a populous appeal to the working class. by the way, when you ask the american people, should robert muller be allowed to complete his probe it is 70%.

>> laura: i think the president wants had him to complete the probe. >> if that's the case, why don't the republicans say the will of the people let it come to an end. >> laura: it is not the will of the people. go ahead. >> this is not the will of the people to have this president endlessly. >> laura: undoing an election. >> the president talk on the campaign trail about the forgotten man and woman. the working class and the disaffected democrats. itep was disaffected democrats n the 10 key swing states that elected donald trump. he has been delivering for them. he poses an extensionial threat to the swamp and media and establishment on both sides of the aisle. that's why they have endlessly tried to attack and destroy him. when the collusion falls apart, 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. >> there's not one election, not

one election since 2016 where you say, oh, you know what republicans have overperformed, because of donald trump. donald trump is p actually an albatross. >> laura: mark the tape. >> from alabama, to virginia. >> laura: we have to go. we're way over. great segment. markyo the tame. i want that sound byte. i'm going to use that on radio. rememberea the fear mongers ward president trump would isolate us from the world. instead we witness growing alliances such as french leaders with macron and is the first guest. with hogan w standingg up late. how are you? >> i'm great, how are you. >> laura: hogan has an actually journal. i love that.ct you have an actually book. not like a laptop. you're writing down a real old-school someone preparing. i love that.

>> got to take notes. >> laura: hope taking notes on "the angle." tell me about the macron relationship. they were trashing trump, would offend the world. now the world wants to meet him. >> they thought the barack obama apology tour was the way to go get friends and allies we're feared again. we're respected again. he'st' growing the relationships france has been with us, forever, as you h know. one of the actually first trade deals we ever did quite frankly was after we signed the declaration of independence. it was with france, but he has onlyce gone to make this bigger and better. they are close friends it. they talk all of the time. their relationship couldn't be better. >> laura: this is the "huffington post" headline in november. you will love this. tit only took trump one year to trash america's global reputation. "l.a. times." france election proves that, america is now example of what not to do.

>> laura: no one ever calls these peopleno on this stuff. >> the ongoing. yeah, that max who wrote that. never a trumper. former republican, now a liberal.ro >> another self logging republican. >> laura: they are not republican. they never were. the so-called experts were wrong before the election and here they are good and the gigs in the columns in the "new york times" the relation with maccron. he's an interesting cat for trump to be a pal with. he's putting the stop signal up for the move in france to put expedited process on removal deportation in france. he's not on board with that he's not a poppulous like trump is. he's more of a globalist and a moderate globalist in europe. how do the two have this personal relationship, period? >> lthere are some similarities you heard macron make france

great again. >> with the flood of migrants fromh germany? >> the point is they were both former businessmen. both no one thought they could win this election. they come in and win and try to do things differently. they don't agree on the paris climate deal and the iran deal, the president is adamantly opposed. >> laura: the european tradetl deal, wis trump doesn't want. >> there's some major differences, but they have a good relationship. close, personal friends the president said we're close, personal friend. 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 president instinct and what he campaigned on is that america is not going to stay bogged down in the places where we have no, real military solution. so will that relationship have an effect on the president's

ultimate decision to stay in syria? everything we know about france's relationship and sending technology and so forth to russia and even its relationship with iran and the iran deal. that's what folks are worried about here. >> i think a lot of people were worried when trump took over as president that this town, washington, d.c. would shake donald trump. the exact opposite has happened. i think these relationships are similar. everyone says what will trump do? county tao to foreign leaders he'sve the best negotiator and comes to the table. of course he wants to bring trump home and wants isis to be crushed and wants to create an environment to, which isis cannot rear its ugly head again. and remember the lasted mitigation created isis. this president wants to intend. >> that was his instinct he was right. that omnibus was not trump negotiating that was paul ryan, thank you for being here. up next, the latest on the driver who killed 10 pedestrians

in toronto and stunning new numbers punch a hole in the liberal myth that your tax dollars don't support legions of immigrants. stay there. show me the billboard music awards.

the billboard music awards knows how to party. [ cheering ] what up, dog? show me top artist.

unbelieveable. i've got my whole family up here. look at my dad looking all sharp. with just the sound of your voice, xfinity x1 gives you a front row seat to the billboard music awards, including throwback clips from some of your favorite artists. the 2018 billboard music awards, sunday, may 20th. only on nbc. >> laura: this is the fox news alert. the laidest on the deadly rampage by the driver who mowed down pedestrians in toronto. the suspect is alec menasium they arrested him minutes after the carnage occurred. at the moment the death tole stands at 10, with 15 others injured, some in critical condition. police say based on witness accounts it was very clear the driverdr deliberately hit people driving a long the side of the road. for analysis let's bring in former lap d-mark firmman and

eric cohen. another day, another deadly attack on pedestrians. this time in toronto. mark, i want to start with you first. the last name mescian is armenian. it is overwhelmingly a christian nation, so people jumping to islamic terror, we don't know a lotet more. he's 25 years old. and witnesses describe the scene where he was deliberately driving into thoseas pedestrian. your initial reaction? >> i would offer this. this is a terrorism act. they terrorized the defensive people. walking shopping families. it is terrorism, just because we don't have a computer memory of the suspect contacts or a clear declarationn by isis, it doesn't mean it is not terrorism. this is terrorism. possibly with a mental defect,

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

armenian. i agree that's predominantly a christian country. they have been through a lot, but they are not directly associated with terror as we are in israel with mossad and the way we investigate terror. there's no doubt this guy went to a specific place for a specific reason to do direct death and harm on a crowd of people in yoning gne and finch which is l a popular area of toronto.ff what i did notice is the vehicle was rented a terror red flag. the fact that the individual came out of the car and, from what we heard was waiving some type of object. we don't know specifically if it is a gun or weapon. that's another red flag. the way that you investigate terror, what i'm not seeing from the toronto police services here, 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 treat it as an act of terror early on. it effects the tone of the how the investigation is carried out. that's what is concerning. reluctant to call this terrorism. where as in israel everything is a terror attack when it involves attacking a large crowd of people. then you can dedeuce backwards. that's where i come out. >> laura: let's listen to what the mayor of toronto john tory already talking inclusivety, before we know more. >> this is a time when this community should come together. i hope as a city we le remind o ourselves we are admired around the world for being inclusive and accepting and understanding and considerate.. >> laura: inclusivety word pops up again. >> i don't think this is the time to try to include all people and be gracious to

all-- types of religions and thought a process. i agree with erin totally. let's handle this as a terrorist act. i think that's the way the canadians should handle it. handle it as a terrorist act. move backwards if it is not, you can state it. if you miss something trying to move the ball away from it, so you can be politically correct, you could miss something that's huge. possibly a whole cell that's completely under the radar. >> laura: thank so much. meanwhile anotherer unbelievable story. a stunning new picture of the burden that immigrants put on american taxpayers. not what you hear from the mainstream media. figures from the census bureau analyzed by the center of immigration study the percentage of immigrants receiving food stamps has nearly tripled in the last 10 years and the number of immigrants on medicaid has gone up just as much and columnist paul reyes is in new york. great to see both of you. steve, here's some of the keep

findings. new immigrants remain twice as likely to live in poverty as natives. newwi immigrants on medicaid increased by 11%. the share of new immigrants on householdcr receiving food stams tripled from 2007, to 2017. the phrase new immigrants are people in the united states for five years or less. the critics will say, well, you know you're using an appropriate controlssi thecateo institute criticizing thehe study that you exaggerate the cost of immigrant welfare that was from last year or two years ago, but they will say that. >> that's right. one of the interesting things. immigrants coming much more educated it used to be a third of the people in the united states for five years or less, used to be the case, about a third had a college dedegree. now it is about half, so we thought that if immigrants became more educated they would do a a lot better. but, in fact what we found is there is still about as likely to live in poverty the new rivalsov and welfare rates have

gone way up. and the average income is not higher and the share who actually have a job is quite a bit less, both in absolute terms and relative to native-born people, so they're not doing as well, although they are a lot more educated. it is a puzzling finding. >> laura: look, i think americans are you know are very generous in welcoming and compassionate. and we do have an enormous problem in inner city america, still with homelessness among veterans, fatherless, broken homes, opioid crisis there's a lot culturally, socially economically we're dealing with. how do you refute what steve says about the trajectory of government dependence on the part of new immigrants? >> well, i wouldrt say, i do not necessarily refute what steve is saying. i look at his data points from a different perspective. one thing as you touched on we're talking about new immigrants, which as he defines people in the this country for less than five years.

now, just in general terms, i would encourage you, ma 'am or the viewers when they first graduated from high school or married or the first few years after college. for most first five years starting a o new phase of their life wasn't necessarily an successful indicator what their life trajectory was going to be. we may see some undoomed illegal immigrants on illegal services but it is not the reflex of the long-term trends. these are obviously it is a contentious issue. people have very strong opinions on both sides, but just as a point of law, our government, our congress, made certain policy decisions, for example the government decided that with programs, for example like the children health d insurance or things like the food stamps for children, that were available to all children, regardless of immigration status. >> laura: right, but.

no we get all of that. we're entitled by law, but we're trying to have a conservative based in facts. >> okay, sure. >> laura: what we hear on immigration, and i hear what you're saying. but when we talk about immigration, a lot of people get the sense that all new immigrants coming to the united states will be the valedictorians of their class or rescuing cats from trees or coming up with the cure to cancer. maybe some will. that's fantastic. overall, we have to make some vehard choices. we only have a certain, a limited budget. we have a lot of obligations to our elderly, to our sick and poor, who are native born. the question is how do you divide up those dollars? and you can respond now to raul's comment. >> look. the bottom line here is we know that about half of all immigrant households are using the nation's welfare system. that's thosese who have been in the united states on average 20 years. welfare use does not go down

overtime.ye it. >> laura: talking real d welfar? social security? , medicare? >> all programs. cash programs, med aid, health insurance for the poor, food stamps, public housing looking at all of that, 51% of the immigrants households in the united states for 20 years access that program. it is about 30% for the native born. that is really a problem. it isn't just a problem for new immigrants. that's been getting worse. it is a problem overall, including for the well established. >> laura: you can respond, last word. >> going back to your point about the facts. the u.s. department of agriculture for example, which administers the food stamp programs. they pointedrs outlast year immigrants make up 9% of our population. and yet the percentage of people who are receiving food stamps of the immigrant population is only 4%. there we see the immigrants are using the services at disproportionately low levels and lots of buy partisan studies that confirm the results.

>> laura: by the way liberals heads are exploding as kanye west commends a black conservative. we will debate the left intolerance on intellectual diversity next.

>> laura: you know what really seems to terrify a liverpool. a black conservative. especially a black conservative speaking his or her mind. it began when hip-hop superstar kanye west tweeted on saturday.

i love the way candace owens thinks. who is cannedas owens a popular conservative commentator. that set off liberal twitter with comedian tom arnold tweeting something so profane, even he ended up delete it. the comedian deleting something from twitter because it is obscene. that's when you know things are out of hand. let's discuss the perils for black conservatives speaking theiril minds. fox news contributor kevin jackson in phoenix and former hillary clinton campaign staffer michael hopkins in new york. see both of you. let's start with you michael. i watched the candace owens speech. i think we you know we don't have time to play all of it. she was giving a talk on a gcollege campus where she said think for yourself. you're not a victim. don't act like a victim. you can do whatever you want you have two hands. you have two feet. hands, eye, independence. you're not owned by any

political party. that was her message. kanye sends a tweet. i like what she's saying. he was all over by hollywood, entertainment industry, and more. why is that the right reaction nto intellectual, idealogical diversity? >> let me start with kanye, then i can talk about candace owens. the reason people are laughing kanye because of the intellectual dishonesty when kanye said george w. bush didn't care about black people. conservatives were in an outrage and then they say he loves trump now he's conservative love child. that's the first problem. when it comes to candace. let me talk about a different issue. my issue is because she wants to rewrite history and ignore the history that got us to where we are today and walk all over the civil rights icons that allow her nowvi to say the things she does. to walk alle wants over it. what are you talking about? she wants to walk over civil right icons. >> by saying african-americans

are whining and black lives matters. >> laura: she's not saying everybody. i thoughtshe was upbeat and positive. i don't know her by the way. >> i have seen military clips of candace. not just the black lives matter. thing she said tonight and things i've heard her say before. >> laura: okay. >> laura: again. the left says all sorts of horrifically 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. >> i get to criticize her. i think it is disrespectful. >> i would like to jump in first i'm proud you were able to find someone that wants to argue that blackom people should be monolithic and all think the same. how darehe kanye. >> that's not what i said. >> how dare kanye west stand up for candace owens today when he said something different about george w. bush.

george w. bush was a very different person. kanye west can have a opinion that differs overtime like anyone else. >> that's fair. >> and standing up for candace, who said, nothing candace said. by the way the college campuses would never let me or larry elder or some of the people not on. i'm shocked they let candace on. with. all due respect i would teach those kids a lesson they would never forget. >> because you're a black republicannan. i have friends that are black republican. >> you try to talk over me you're a perfect example of a person who comes on and said it is what she says. candace has an opinion that most blacks agree with. we're w individual. we're not monolithic. we don't vote democrat because people like you decide that's what we're about. laura i'll come off of this segment there will be more white people thatt. will call me a rae trader with the cadre of blacks. >> and i will be called racial slurs by republicans. >> because i don't want to tow the line. what candace is exposing is the

day of democrat, demagoguing the political spectrum and having black people go for the nonsense which gotten us nothing. >> laura: hold onn michael. i just want to play a sound byte. it is an amazing radio talk show guy, a radio host name ebro commenting and michael maybe you can respond. >> multiple times through the conservation, he said i just want to lead with love. i just want to be about love. i said you're a liar. >> you're a liar, because the people you're aligning yourself with aren't leading with love. kanye west. quote. >> "i love trump." obama was right. you are a jack. you showed it again this weekend. >> laura: you're reaction, michael? >> i don't have any disagreement with that you can't say you want to lead with love, and then have a president who says that african countries are a word i won't say on air.

that people are protesting and white supremacist are protesting you're part of the good points. >> you're talking point central. >> talking point central. >> have you been to africa? >> i've been 2022 country. i bette you have never been to one of them. donald trump is exactly right. let me tell you what will happen. donald trump will get more of the black vote and 2018 we will smoke the daylight and 2020 he will get more of the black vote. >> what 7%? >> who cares. >> laura: he got 9%. better than mit romney. >> the problem with guys like him. it doesn't matter what is funny the co-conservative this man is having now. saying i don't want black people to even consider voting for donald trump. you know what they will do. i don't want black people to say thump is worthy. >> laura: michaell respond. >> i think i take donald trump at his word. throughout his entire career whether it is the central park five, you can say it is nonsense.

>> it is. >> everyone has a job. >> laura: lowest unemployment among african-americans i believe in history. more opportunities. more manufacturing. take it away from race for a second. >> michael, we have more economic opportunity coming into americae today, because of what he's done. that will do more to lit people out of poverty and give them opportunities than anyone. and you tell me that stopping illegal immigration and flooding the inner city with drugs and guns isn't going to help minorities? isn't going to help minorities the most? >> with a straight face believe donald trump is good for black people and racial relations? >> you honestly believe that. >> yes. because he's breaking the strangle hold that the democratg party has on the minority voters. >> he has no respect for black people or the black community. >> you we know you're afraid. >> black people are used, people like you are used by donald. >> laura: we're out of time. michael and kevin.

>> guys. you're both really smart. unfortunately we're out of time. i would love to have you both back on radio. both very well informed we'll have another shock example of liberal sensorship in campus on "defending the first." bump president trump is responding to the summit with north korea kim jong-un under.

>> laura: president trump fired back at critics claiming that meeting with kim jong-un would be a major concession. the president tweeted wow, we support be haven't given up anything. kim is spending nuclear test. let's discuss the prospects for success with ian bremer the new book "us versus them." i have my copy tabbed. it comes out tomorrow. look, youli can tell i'm still,y

mind in law school. i have yellow tabs. >> i appreciate that. >> laura: it is greatmi to have you on. this really is, i think with all of the investigation mania going on and all of the daily, you know food fight we see in washington. this could be and could be an unbelievable development. and there's a lot of ifs. but, for the president not to get even a modicum of-- you know praise or respect for the fact that-- we're at least take a different approach to north korea, with all of the prediction of the global unrest. and he's going to start world war 3. this is is quite something. >> trump deserves credit. the factly that he was willing o push hard that brought the chinese to the table. supporting u.s.-driven security resolution and squeezing them on sanctions.ee that concerned the north koreans. it got them to show up at the t olympics. it got them to be willing to

engage with the south koreans, the chinese summit that they had never had before. and also agreed to spend missile testing and nuclear testing without offering anything from the united states. now we have offered them a summit they want that and it provides legitimatey. if you askd. who has done more bending so far the north koreans or the united states it is the north koreans. it is far from saying we will have the part of denuclearization, but more of a chance to see a breakthrough than six months ago. >> laura: 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 he would deserve the nobel more than obama did at the beginning when he came in and didn't do

anything. it is a politicized prize. we have known that for a long time. i believe there's more of a chance we end up blowing each other up, but there's more of a chance we get to a real resolution. people need to understand that so far on north korea, the signs have been more positive than negative. >> laura: for the mad man fairy calling him rocketman. theer democrats. let's just play a few sound bytes. the democrats have gone bonkers leading up to the announcement leading up to the summit. i think we have some of the elements. let's watch. >> one of the things we've discovered about thiss new president is, he has no clue about how to deal with foreign matters. he's dangerous. he should not be talking with this kind of bluster. and i'm k hopeful that:at the white house will pull hisy coat and tell him to stop it. this is not the way to lead this

country. >> he's done none of the thingsness to achieve a real diplomatic breakthrough on north korea. >> this is a mess north korea has created but president trump has t made it move difficult to deal with. >> he's made mistake on foreign policy. so far north korea is not one of them. we have had democratic and republican president over the last decade that allow the north korean situation to get worse. more nuclear, missile, cybercapabilities finally we get the chinese and the north korea to the table. on balance since trump came, in despite he doesn't have foreign policy experience. we have more opportunities with koreans than before. >> laura: i want to talk about your book, which i have been able to reach bunches of of. you grew up in chelsey, massachusetts and talked about in chelsey, a mill-class area. how people now-- many parts of theho country become trump, i think especially, people are angry. because they feel no longer is

not just hard work and an education and you're guaranteed to get ahead that gobblization, people feel has. failed them. worried more about other countries, and what was going on here at home. tell us. >> i wishh it was the middle-class background. it that would it was the projects. it was a working-class background there. were no globallallist or capitalists 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, on culture, on security, on technology, on every issue that the establishment left and right has been talking about. that they've been left behind. i've seen aeh lot of people over the last year can or year and a half willing to blame trump for the us-versus them that we are facing now as a country. in reality you know us versus them is responsible for trump.

>> laura: took 20 years for 25 years for us versus them. >> the book is "us versus them." a interesting read. we appreciate it. you will not believe the lame excuse the college came up no more lugging your clubs through the airport or risk having your clubs lost or damaged by the airlines. phone call we'll pick up and deliver your clubs on-time, guaranteed, for as low as $39.99. shipsticks.com saves you time and money. make it simple. make it ship sticks.

>> laura: oh, i las vegas this section. it is called "defending the

first" exposing the enemy of the first amendment, free expression and free thought. >> the latest target of campus epidemic isnd the renowned history professor burt fullsome of hillsdale college. the committee tried to band him interest delivering a lecture on campus. the committee excuse they claim the lecture would not be academic enough. let's bring in the spokesman for the group that invited the professor to speak. young americans for freedom and other stories as well. they ultimately allowed him to speak on campus, but not at that particular venue with is bigger and put him off to the side. saying you can speak here. the unwashed professor. that's right. >> i don't think it is a secret to you and your viewers there's a crisis of idealogical diversity on capus what vices is the excuses for liberal leaders

to shut us down. that one point had the best selling history book in the country san academic enough to speak on the main part of their campus is ridiculous. >> laura: it is a fraud and campus reform went out and they decided to interview students about sending troops to the border and immigration and so for. let's watch. >> when president obama did it i felt there was, i suppose different coverage as to the intentions. >> where do you draw the line of who can be here or not? >> yeah. >> at the border -- >> the students didn't know that president obama had actually sent troops to the border. so they're like, when he did it. what is your take on the lack of just basic understanding of whether it is the constitution or just basic recent american history. it is a constant demonization of trump or the propaganda machine on college campuses tor $50,000.

>> going to get an education and be real rounded and not learning critical thinking and justfest the leftist ideology. the students who don't know why they support or suppose it just if trumpru supported it must be bad and if obama supported it they would say it is the greatest thing. >> laura: the other was at uc santa barbara raw. they didn't know batch sent the troops to the border so they had, oh, when he did it wasness. it is classic. this is classic, uninformed god bless them, uninformed college students, who learn it for the first time from some radical professor oradical history professor. then at gw university nearby where we are. the democrats, some of the college democrats are not participating in some type of bipartisan discussion. they don't want to be bipartisan? >> it looks like the leftists

are showing the true colors. they don't want the free exchange of ideas. the best ideas rise to the top. and the left ideas will fall off. what you see is basically their goal is to allow a situation, only where leftist ideas are heardow they know in conservative policies and conclusions are offered, those will. >> laura: they'res petfied. they're petfied of a debate. they are the most, the petfied. and by the way they said some members of the s current execute board have hesitation busy in events with conservatives.se >> laura: that's all i'll say. great to see you. thanks for the update. we'll be right back.

>> laura: before we go, we want >> before we go we send our ant prayers and best wishes for pres. george hw bush who is recovering in a hospital, he was in an intensive care unit with a blood infection a few days after

burying her beloved wife, barbara bush. the entire bush family, we wish you and him all the best, very difficult time and a quick reminder, tweet me at ingram angle, we want to hear about tonight's show, that is all the time we have tonight. >> welcome to fox news at night. coming up donald trump's controversial pick for secretary of state, mike neil gorsuch narrowly clears the senate and it's for senate vote. we be confirmed, sen. mike rounds ways in. a terminally ill baby taken off life support, protesters storming the british hospital. can the pope help? mike huckabee is here on that but first, this is a fox news alert. a 10th person has died after a man driving a
