tough for you. i hope the people of missouri are paying attention. that's all the time we have left left, we will be covering right the ig information that comes out, let not your heart be -- we have of michael bin, and others tomorrow. here is laura with the latest. >> laura: hannity, are you getting your mail forwarded to singapore? are you ever coming home? >> sean: you reallyant to know the answer? >> laura:ot really, but go ahead. >> sean: not really. it's a 22 hour flight. i have a three hour radio show and a one hour tv show and i'm not missing the ag report after 18 months. i won't be not on the air. >> laura: why didn't you get on the plane after you interviewed trump and then come back? >> sean: because the timing of such and doing the show after that made it impossible. >> laura: we need you back in

the country. things don't seem right. most people are glad i'm out of the country. speak outhat's true. great show as always and we will see you tomorrow night. good evening from washington, i am laura ingraham and this is "the ingraham angle." incredible lineup of guests, rudy giulii, alan dershowitz, dershowitz, jason chaffetz and more on the eve of the release the ig probe othe clinton probe, there are reports that it could hold devastating news for jim comey and andrew mccabe. so our experts will be setting the table for all of you. secretary of state mike pompeo is expected to speak at any moment from south korea. so while the north korean media is saying kim jong un couldn't visit the united states soon, can we believe that? plus in seen and unseen, raymond arroyo will show us the unbelievable links that one democrat is going to to make a point abouts. until you see this video.

it's unbelievable. and what do you think god looks like? a new story offer some hints. but first, president trump returns to washington after his stunning success in singapore. america got some of its mos incredible economic since probably i worked for the reagan administration. his glow of his historicng diplomatic triumph, and he should. the mueller probe is still going on, and the president continues to rack up his successes. even mueller friendly republicans are growing tired of the endless pro let's get this process movin forward and get it wrapped up and concluded, because it seems to me that this thing is sort of in a never ending episode. >> i would like to see it getting wrapped up, of course. i'd like to see this thing come

to its conclusion. >> if they have facts about collushat's what this is supposed to be about. >> laura: well, the public seems to be growing of this, too. despite the media's constant cheerleading for the russia probe, a record 6% of all registered voters now view mueller as unfavorable. and, that includes right by the way a record 53% of republicans on an enormous job of 26 points over the last year. predictably, the left is not ready to give up on their beloved witch hunts. >> trump tries to create all these distractions and bob mueller is building a case that i think it's up to very high

levels. >> the law enforcement and other guys at the department of jud fbi including trump appointees including attorney general's and fbi directors say this investigation is so significant, we should continue. >> even democratic voters are losing some faith and molar stach mueller.he i now viewed up by a record 24% of democrats and a record 33% of independents. president trump iriting higher than ever before in support for the mueller is sliding. imagine if the press was actually fair about this. so here's the question. is the time right for the president to voluntarily submit to an interview with mueller to get this thing wrapped up? who better to answer that question then the president's lawyer himself. rudy giuliani, how are you. the president looks great and singapore, no doubt about it.

of course, it comes back and, what's your reaction? >> i checked into this, and are very comfortable if he cooperates, and, including the thingshat rosenstein said to prident trump himself, that he is not involved in that investigation. my concern is that the molar investigation is going on interminably, and i think it is reflected in public opinion. public opinion is discussed, i bet he's wasted $20 million. maybe he should put in an interim report and tell us what he's got on collusion. obstruction of justice, the

president can fire anybody he wants for any reason he wants. they can't even inquire about that. he's harassing michael cohen, and the paul manort case seems to be falling apart. you take tha out and, second, you have the russians. they are all in russia, and it's a phony indictment. they were harassing hilary rallies dressed up like clowns, we had worse than that. >> have you asked for special counsel office why they haven't brought certain people in for questioning? i if they were going to focus on this trump tower meeting, as we know, that's part of the focused. why wouldn't they bring in the russian attorney that makes this

big pitch, it's close to putin. well, she would be happy to come, and that's one of the things we pulled very e about this. the president can't be indicted, the sitting predent can't be indicted, no one disputes that. and he's not. so he gets to write the report. just to get it over with. he's gotten 1.4 million documents, 32 witnesses, we raised no executive and he's got the material from which to write a report right now. except the report would say no evidence in collusion. >> he wants to get in the state of mind. it's the statend quest >> i think he -- he can't do

that until he gets the president across the table. >> it's not going to happen. his whole theory is cockamamie. i can interpret, plus an article to immunity, and i think he did it for a corrupt reason. so i'm going to recommend that he did something wrong. plus his main witness there is comey. and i don't know about the horowitz report in detail, but i think it will be a tough one, it's 500 pages. >> laura: and the president has seen it? >> tomorrow at three or four, he gets an unedited version of it, because i think that's where the juicy stuff will be. but, at a minimum, we know we are criticizing him heavily for

his first hillary press conference and his second hillary press conference. he starts the responsibility, and he became the attorney general. he is the director of the fbi, and the chief detective ether to prosecute that. the report two months before. how about writing the report now? he said, that would be an improper investigation. >> when do you determined the issue of written answers? >> we are addressing that now we arell working on that, is there a dispute among you about how to proceed? i mean that's healthy. >> all of us know he shouldn't testify unless we get everything we want and wants. you know him, he wants to testify. 's complaint is, i did nothing wrong and i can stand up to any

questioning. but they are really good lawyers. >> they are also disreputable and unethical. what about the ones that have been cited for unethical violations? do you think i'm going to trust him with the president of the united states? >> are you talking about who would do the questioning? >> i think it should be mueller. when i -- ken was an appellate lawyer, i was a trial lawyer. and he was a trial lawyer so it's his reputation at stake. >> laura: are you guys worried that there are any tape recordings that michael cohen might have in his possession of conversations with the consent or about the president, that either he could have exaggerated things to other people to like curry favor or look like he's bigger than he is? i'm not saying he did tt. but you guys don't know, you

have some of the documents but not all the documents that was district of new york, that they seized. so you are looking at them for privileged. just like he's done nothing wrong in this thing, he was clean as a whistle. he might have been tough, might ns, but he was a man of his word. michael: i think would tell you he has nothing incriminated in. you are a former prosecutor, they threatened to bankrupt you and its high bills, they pile up real fast. you go to jail for ten years. >> the reality is they are trying to frighten him. michael is a tough guy, i don't think that will happen.

and if he does, but don't think he's going to lie. >> innocent people don't worry about whether someone will flip them, and let's be honest, presidents don't have fixers. i think we are so in the think of this that we take a step back and we reali t e day, talk about mr. cohen who is donald trump's fix. innocent people fix things by shooting straight and telling the truth, so think this is the beginning of a dark, dark stone. storm. >> fixer mean someone who can get things done, people hire them in new york, they are called expediters. >> laura: they don't know york lingo. >> what he meant by that was, i expedited things, i got them done. not illegally. no one has ever said anything about that until now. this idea that a president who

is perfectly innocent has done nothing wrong isn't going to be framed by somebody. when they donated 36 granted hillary's campaign or, at her victory/to defeat par the cried the night she lost. these guys have already been cited for not turningr in it ence aut innocent people and at this idiot congressman wants me to trust him? i've been a lawyer for a long me, that kate doesn't know what he's talking about. >> laura: are you also going to make an argument about the underlying constitutionality of special in this process? >> both on his facend as appliedbecause on its face, thee itself, and second, the fact that it was produced by what might have been a totally illegal counterintelligenc investigation that they tried to make into a criminal investigation. and clearly by the comey memo, we have to see what horowitz

says tomorrow. aura: kellyanne conway's husb george,e known him for many y. he's brilliant, we thought he might be sg at the justice department, he would have made a great one. he has written an article the hill that he basically says, this argument about the unconstitutionality of the statute, he just smashes calabrese's argument. he buys into the appointments clause out argument here, and he just destroys that. is there any concern about that at the white house? >> no concern about it. feeling you don't have to agree on everything. [laughs] >> methods clear of an argument the to indict, or even their ability to subpoena, as it is true in article two. >> laura: have you written a brief on that >> more or less.

however, i would think, maybe he wants him out of supreme court but i don't think you will get the appointment. >> i was lik george is like -- >> george is not upremecaredict that. >> laura: is their concern about -- let's go back to cohen for a minute. i'm not as big of a fan of prosecutors, but i'm not as big of a fan of prosecutors as some conservatives are because with unbridled power and unchecked power comesf discretion. from patrick fitzgerald, -- there are like four people. >> representative comey. >> laura: yes, scooter libby, all the rest of it. so when someone like him has the screws turned on him, you will

lose your family, be in jail for ten years, what are you going to give us? you are going to tell us. people freak out and that's with the power of prosecutors do. >> i empathize greatly with michael, i don't believe he will tell a falsehood, i believe he's going to tell the truth and we are very comfortable with it. >> laura: but what if he is in trouble on another matter? >> he will deal with it. and i think -- i still trust in him until they show me something, to the contr >> laura: reports are that he is upset because -- he's feeling all alone out there. >> i bet it feels that way, too. but we advise the president that that would be. >>aura: now, you can't pick up the phone. >> you tell your client over time, don't talk to this person. paul manafort was probably totally innocent but they turned

it into another charge, because >> laura: when is your bester. guess that this thing will be decided without the testimony?b. they've interviewed pretty much everyone they wanted. >> i believe we will decide unless something goes wrong. without a couple of things go wrong, the cohen situation, the spygate to the situation. if nothing elsereaks like that, possibly this horowitz thing. it's 500 pages. but we should give the decision done in the next week or two, which means then we go to battling over a subpoena or getting it ready for a small, tailored, limited interview. >> laura: 150 subpoenas, blank subpoenas. this came out late today. mueller has requested that. what cou that be about? is that like a mind game? >> frankly, if it is a mind game it works the opposite way.

at this late stage, if you stop issuing 150 subpoenas, he's got nothing. >> laura: what have they been doing for the last year? >> where is the collision, where is tbstruction, except in their head. if they have to do 150 subpoenas at this point, andverybody knows this, they have no case because donald trump didn't do anything wrong. >> laura: when you talked to cohen a year ago, i don't know if you've heard when he was going to try to get that trump tower in moscow done. he wanted to get that done and had reportedly written a note to pollutant same, this is a logjam here, what's going to happen, it didn't go anywhere. but that is always liste in the one or two or three russian interest contacts that cohen made. are you aware of this, have you been discussing it? >> we are aware and we think it has connection. >> laura: was a green lighted by president trump? >> i can't tell you that, that

would be competence, but the reality is, nothing came of it. there was no quid pro quo for it. in essence, if the president had colluded, which he didn't -- the presidll tell you in the two years after the election, i just didn't talk to any russians, i don't know any russians. >> laura: he didn't drink, so you know he didn't order a white russian. >> he doesn't drink at all. they were bitter over losing the election and some right in muller's office were the ones crying like babies the night that hillary lost. if they are trying to delegitimatize him. we want the president said he regrets not having a better relationship with russia because of all of this >> that's a national se collateral damage of this investigation. thank god he was able to do career. thank god he is a man of discipline and cou do career. >> laura: rudy giuliani,

always great to see you. tomorrow is a day that could rock, as rudy said it, jim rld. we will find out what to expect when that report is handed down tomorrow on hillary's email investigation. will she walking the woods when it comes out i'll never find a safe used car. start at the new carfax.com show me minivans with no reported accidents. om. love it.

>> laura: oh, the suspense is building. can you feel it? tomorrow will be a huge new stateashington.the doj and inspl won't release this highly anticipated report about time on the email investigation. congressman peter king is predicting it will have devastating news for former fbi chief james comey a his ex-dep andrew mccabe. let's bring this stellar panel. alan dershowitz, and author of the book, coming out next month,

"the case against impeaching trump." you will be very popular in martha's vineyard when that comes out. fox news contributor jason chaffetz, chairman of the house oversight committee, and we are so pleased to announced that making his debut tonight is former federal prosecutor andy mccarthy. great to see all of you. andy, since you are the new kid on the block, let's talk about where we are tonight. this interview that we just had with rudy, they are going to make a decision he said in the next week or so about whether the president will in any way testify, circumscribed questions, or by written answers, unless something really unusual c out in t ig report. your take on that? >> i still think, laura, if the president was a journalist, there would be hoops that you have to go through in the just department to even think

about getting a sit down with him. so i continue to not understand why, if you want to inter the president of the united states as a prosecutor, you don't have to establish preliminarily that there is a serious offense that he has been implicated in, and that he is the repository of information that nobody else has, and you can only get to from him. frankly unless muller can satisfy that test, and you wrestled with the justice department so many times trying to get records. what do you expect in this ig report tomorrow? >> i think it will be devastating to the higher echelon of the fbi. i think they used and misused their power, and mr. horowitz was unanimously confirmed by the

united states senate. it should be widely accepted by anybody and everybody on both sides of the aisle as the closest we are going to get to the truth. it deviated from every norm, and it's important to know what it's notoing to do, and it's not going to look at anything to do with russia. but how that clinton case was handled from soup to nuts, top to bottom, you already have a criminal referral out of the office. we will see more text and more emails and the deputies in particular, as well as mr. comey, will shed light on their inappropriate activities as they handled this case. it was fundamentally wrong. jeff sessions said in an interview today on the hill tv, he talked about where we are with this ig report. i want to play this for you. >> i think it will be a lengthy

report and a careful report. i think it will help us better fix any problems that we have and reassure the american people that some of the concerns that have been raised are not true. >> laura: professor witz, your reaction to sessions? >> i think there will be to ig reports. the one that is released on the one that was changed. i hope that the various senate and house investigating committees subpoena the original draft of the report so that we can see what was hot in it before efforts were made to try to soften it, and perhaps whitewash the justice department. i think in the end, the ig will come out with more public support thanhe mueller probe now has, and when that happens it will demonstrate that we didn't need a special counsel, that the justice department career people, people who don't have a steak or partisan interest could have been

involved in every aspect of this case. we didn't need to spend $20 million, not for what they allegedly did before the investigation began, but in response to the investigation. in other words, investigations themselves create crimes when people get nervous and upset ase cover-up. so we are expecting a very, very significant report and we will certainly read it with great care. the one thing that we know is the inspector general has maintained his credibility at a time when if you have maintaine of that in the justice department. >> laura: that's a great point. you just wrote this lengthy article about the manner in which the justice department has played this slow walking game of documents. redacting documents saying it would harm nationaecurity. he through point by point their justifications for withholding information, and in each case if you showed that either that was not the case, not true, totally not necessary,

and it just delayed getting to the bottom of what the real truth is here. given that, how do we -- do we not call into question how they have been behaving all along on hurting and harming the ability of the congress to do its oversight role? >> it'sepressing in that regard because national security is the one area of the law where we really do have to keep maintain the security of the methods of gathering intelligence, intelligence sources. so it's got to be the one place, when you think about counterterrorism, counterintelligence, counterespionage, it's got to be the one place for the government can look you in the eye and s you can trust us. the problem with this transcends the whole business of trump in russia, and i understand everyone is obsessed with that now, but what concerns me in the

long term is a lot of the things we need to do to protect the united states that require that we will be able to maintain the integrity of intelligence. and i think when they look you in the eye now and say, you can trust us, a lot ofple are going to look back and say, i don't think so. let's take a look at the deputy attorney general's war with congress. fox news' catherine herridge report of the bombshell yesterday that rob rosenstein threatened to subpoena the records of lawmakers investigating the doj and fbi, which includes the staff. i have to ask you this, jason. i have to get dershowitz's response as well. this is wild. the reports on capitol hill say these 25-year-old staffers are shaking and asking if they are going to jail, because they don't know how thistuff works. but is that an unprecedented move? is that just rosenstein getting

his backup? and what does that do to the future relationship between congress, has a obligation to do oversight >> it was wholly wrong, but unfortunately not unprecedented. i can tell you that, the inspector general came out with a report, and they literally said it's time to target jason chaffetz and embarrass him. power, and have the problemsed with the irs. i also had some targeting done in the csa. when you are a young staffer, and you have the senior person at the department of justice threatening to dive into her background andena your email, and the problem is leadership in the republican

party. they never have your back. and he heard in real time what jeff sessions said in defense of what rosenstein had done there. this was his response. >> we are a separate branch of government and they don't have the right to do that unless they are coming under some kind of criminal investigation. for the attorney general to say he is confident that rob rosenstein did everything right, i'm confident that he't know what he's talking about. and they threaten to issue subpoenas in retaliation for ths sounds like the prosecutor on

billions more then the prosecutors in the united states. we need to be concerned as civil libertarians when prosecutors threaten to use subpoenas in retaliation for a branch of government engaging in appropriate -- >> laura: thank you so much gentleman, we have breaking news. let's go to the souls, south korea, where mike pompeo is addressing reporters. >> the discussions we had today amongst the three of us reflected our three country's commitment to continue to work together to ensure the success of this effort. today the foreign mister and i discussed the outcome of the summit with chairman kim jong un and state coordinated through the entire process. the president's summit with oerth korean leaders kim jong un two days ago indeed mark a turning point in the u.s. and north korea relationship.

kim jong un's public commitment to completely denuclearize brings lasting instability. the predent said this will be a process and not an easy one. the republic of korea and japan will be critical to the success of that outcome. the world should rest assured that the united states remain committed to achieving the complete, verifiable and irreversible denuclearization of north korea. the u.s. alliances with these two countries are absolutely iron ironclad. we have developed a close friendship, and together we will continue to closely coordinate with respect to north korea as we move forward together. president trump has also made it clear that if kim jong un de nuclearizes, there is a bright future for north korea and its people. he outlined that vision

beautifully h in seoul when he spoke last november. the vision is strong, connected, secure and prosperous north korea which is fully integrated into the community of nations. kim jong un indicated that he shared that vision. we are eager to see him take the next steps to achieve it because the united states is ready for a new chapter in our history. thank you. >> laura: joining us now for instant reaction is senator lindsey graham, member of the house and -- excuse me, i always think of you as the house impeachment manag it's great to see you. so you heard a tidbit there, what's your reaction? >> a very important statement that south korea, japan and the united states.the su went well and work together behind president trump.

now if my democratic friends might get behind president trump, we may actually get a peace deal. we lent some of them are progressive members of congress and they have come out, kind of shocking, and some of them for the impeachment of trump. they thought, let's give peace a chance. a lot of the real criticism comments from chuck schumer or ey throw you in that mix. but i say that's not true. >> i'm a big fan of president trump. he inherited a problem that's been building for 30 years, there's no place for him to kick the can. 20 years ago they didn't have nuclear weapons and now they they have a missile that could hit north america and if they marry the two up, we are in trouble. he's been saying, i'm not going to let north korea have a missile that could hit us. that's a nonstarter. i will offer t a deal that they can't refuse or should refuse. compliments to the president. i have a brother who has lived

in korea for many years, and he's still there. he said gathered around a little valid villages, people are riveted. like every shopkeeper had a television on. he said, let me tell you. to the south korean people, this is like gorbachev and reagan. this is positive developments in their lives because they have families and north korea. they want to have different scenarios not just for peace and safety but for their culture. they are a very proud people. >> they there are over 2 millin korean american families. president and i have talked about this and he would only have a war if he had to. but the president has made a decision, he' not going to contain a nuclear armed north korea because they will sell what they build. he will bring the program to end in a winning way.

but democrats, i ask you one thing. tell the world, north korea and china, that if diplomacy fails because they play the same old games, all options are on the table and get behind president trump. >> laura: at rand paul says you are a danger to the world because he sai that. but of course aren't military options always on the table? >> if not we will never get a deal, i never want to use it. the best way to get pieces to convince north korea we will have a war that they can't win. trump is doing everything he knows how to avoid a war and i would beg north korea and china to take him up on it. >> laura: it just came out before you camen that the pentagon is expected to cancel the august military exercises with south k. are you concerned about that or is it to soon cancel? >> if the president called me on air force one and he said, let them know i'm serious. i'm willing to stand down to give them the space they need to

make an intelligent decision. we can always put the extra size back on schedule but this may be the last best chance in our lifetime for peace. this is a bull move for the prt. we will withdraw ources, and we will give north korea a sign and breat space. to those who criticize the president, how well did you do in north korea? >> laura: so you criticize them for how much it too these interviews. i watched you the other night, i do my research on you. you said it was ridiculous to question how much money it costs. but i kind of like the fact that the president is always worried about the taxpayer money, whether it's money that we give overseas to countries that trash outs, or -- i'm not saying that's not important. but i think most people are like, good, he's looking out for our money. >> the number one job for those in the congress and the president for the milit t give the training and equipment they need, but, that's something

we don't have to fight. >> laura: it's incredible incry important against the president. 28,000 homes. >> if we pulled that out, china would make the south china sea. and they are beginning to back off. if you play trump, you met with him, you shook his hand and told him he wanted to give up your nukes for a good deal. if you play this guy, you will regret it. ths not barack obama. >> look at poor justin, that was criticism. it was like, he's going to pay. lindsey graham, so great to have you on. all right, a colorado democrat thinking that going to extremes and camera will get him elected to congress? this is awesome.

president trump, you have to admit this. leader would envy where he is right now. a slowg economy at home, dipl triumphs overseas, and there is this headline. headline. tuesday's primary underscores that the g.o.p. is trump's party now. you just had to read my book "a

billionaire with a barricade." it drives them absolutely bonkers especially given the loss of south carolina congressman, mark sanford. >> if you dare speak against the king, donald trump, then he will screw with you and tweet something against you. why don't we just s devolved into a cult? the voters in the republican party have devolved into a cult. >> it's becoming cultish thing, isn't it. >> laura: why did he want to be secretary of state? but to their chagrin, trump now has tons of political capital to spend as he wishes, just as the all important elections are in mid video. let's discuss this with frank. trump is the president, he won states that we hadn't seen republicans win and some time and hadn't won a national election since 2004. diplomatic triumph early, but so with north korea, the economy

soaring, and the old bush party is gone. never coming back. >> and what people don't realize is his numbers are better than bama's at the same points two years into obama's presidency. no one talks about that. you know i've been on occasion critical of the president. i look at north korea, the economy and jobs, not just the polling numbers but the actual real numbers of the country how can you be critical at this point? >> laura: what about the judges they put on it? >> if the question did they follow through with it g.o.p.? it's going into the mid 40s. the question is, does this generic ballad between republicans and democrats, does that also improve? and what we have seen is, it does. the intensity among democrats voting against trump is stronger than the intensity right now for republicans to support keeping the house and senate in g.o.p.

hands. >> laura: what's the best way for republicans to hold that their message and really spur turnout in november, given your research? >> taxes and jobs, jobs and taxes, taxes and jobs. trump is responsible for messaging, and i would suggest that he visited the troops in november. i would suggest he invites the north kore leader to the white house. that is significant. i would suggest if he goes himself, but a picture is worth 10,000 words. a picture of him shaking hands with a north korean leader is as significant as nixon going to china. it's as much of a threat and as much of an impact. these are good days for the president. >> laura: it looks like he's getting nominated for a "no" ball a nobel peace prize. that happened today. >> he will never get that. >> he wants to run against the media as well and did it all campaign long.

this is what brian stelter said. >> the president is on twitter right now, that is absolely disgusting. >> you know what, it's disgusting that they don't give him credit for what he has done over the last 72 hours. they don't give him credit for an economy that is truly improved. they are getting what they deserved by the tone and the demeanor of the courage. they are actually helping not just the republicans but they are helping to reelect donald trump. >> laura: you got engaged in a bit of a twitter back and forth with brian. and it youave to accept what the facts are. if the economy is good, doesn't he deserve credit? if foreign policy is going in the right direction, why not give him credit? >> laura: that was trumps tweet today, six months ago you would have begged for this deal and now, he was going to blow up

the world essentially. i didn't think you would get credit for it but i think he's am people don't want a recession or depression with something like that. great analysis and i hope t president listens, we will be right back. (director) cut! nice, candace, but this time bold. did someone say "bold?" (gasping) starkist jalapeo tuna in a pouch! loaded with bold flavor. just tear, eat... mmmmm. and go bold! try all of my bold creations pouches!
