>>i'm laura ingraham, and this is it is ingraham angle. so much fallout on that bombshell ig report. we have complete coverage from every angle. also, raymond and why all the sudden, the whining about the cult of trump after eight years over swooning over the real messiah, obama. but we begin with broad sides from team trump on the clinton email investigation.

starting with president trump, shot at the fbi brass and chief, the chief he fired, of course jim comey. on fox and friends this morning, the president took a swipe at what he called the scum at the top of the bureau under obama. >> the fbi looks bad, very bad. >> no, it's comey. interpret talking about comey, not my fbi. the people in the fbi are incredible. i would bet if you took a poll in the fbi, i would win that poll by more than anybody that's ever won a poll. look at what happened. they were plotting against my election. presidential attorney rudy giuliani said comey should be investigate and that the fbi agent "fired today and in prison next week." >>let's investigate the investigators. let's stop and let's turn and

get rid of all the agents during the mueller investigation. he shouldn't be working at the fbi. he's got emotional problems and probably needs valium or something like that. >> he vowed to stop trump from becoming president. strzok is now facing his own day of reckoning. strzok was the lead fbi agent, remember, in the clinton email probe, a top agent in the fbi's russia probe, and the agent who interviewed former national security advisor mike flynn. all that ended of course when strzok's bombastic anti-trump texts were revealed. he was demoted to the fbi's hr department. which raises the question, why

the heck is he still working at the fbi, especially in light of the text message revealed yesterday where he vowed to stop trump from becoming president. joining me now, john, attorney, and former assistant attorney general, robert driscoll. all right. i want to start with you, bob, on this, because it's fascinating to me how when you survey the other networks over the last 24 hours, it was like on to stormy daniels. they spent precious little time on this. this is a big nothing burger. i'm so sick of that word, by the way. but let's remember what horowitz did conclude. this is important. departing so clearly and dramatically, the decisions negatively impacted the perceptions of the fbi and

department as fair administrators of justice. robert, fair administrators of justice now with a russia collusion probe gone for more than a year, about $18 million it's cost, apparently with no end in sight. >> the damage has been done. the report makes it clear there was rampant bias with the fbi and the doj. all the report says, and i think people take this out of context. the report says that horowitz couldn't link the examples of bias to any particular investigative decision. which of course he couldn't. no one writes down when they're doing something that improper. but he found bias on each page. he took a very broad view of any investigative decision was defensible. not proper, but just defensible,

he passed on it. so i think it really is, to me, shockingly bad, both the breadth of the report and bias and corruption was shocking. >> peter strzok is still collecting a taxpayer-funded salary, which, i mean, i can't believe he's still working, and of all places, in human resources. that just takes the cake. you can't write how stupid that is. but it looks like bob goodlatte does want him to testify on capitol hill. he's getting that subpoena. the process takes about two days. but he wants strzok on capitol hill and he wants information and he wants it like yesterday. >> right. and the question is, when you read this shocking report, why

he's had this job for so long, strzok, and wray, who the president was praising in his tweets, why they haven't done something about this already. there was evidence of bias. we see the shocking instance of the text that he sent back to his lover about how he wasn't going to let trump become the president. that was with held from congress. obviously, it's a very thorough report, but the conclusion is, well, we don't have a smoking gun, so we can't do anything about it. that's the problem all along with an office of inspector general investigation. they don't have the power to do anything about it. and that's not going to cut it here with the damage done to our country and the damage being done with the mueller investigation. it requires stronger measures than simply an investigation into what went wrong. we've got to do something about it. >> john, the damage to the fbi, i think, cannot be overstated

here. we have men and women who work so hard in the field offices all across this country, day by day, night by night, to keep americans safe and do really great investigative work. this ended up being a political research operation against -- ultimately, against the president with the russia probe, but a cya situation with hillary clinton in these emails all along. if you actually read this report -- i've gotten through most of it -- there is a lot in this report that the press is glossing over. >> you're right. the fact of the matter is some horrible things were done that should have never occurred. we have to keep it in the context though. remember, this is a group of individuals who knew each other. some were hand picked by their friends to work in this project, if you will. meanwhile, you have 35,000 fbi

employees doing good things every day. i think it's important they need to come clean. you're right. whether or not mr. strzok should be working at fbi headquarters is certainly a question we're asking. >> the ig did not say he found no bias at the fbi. he said that there was no documentary evidence that bias produced specific decisions. and we've got to remember, there's another ig report coming down the pike. that could end up being loaded with evidence of such bias because that's about looking into the informants that were used in the trump campaign and maybe the potential fisa abuses, the fbi handling of the russia probe. i want to go back to you, bob. thinking the ig -- trump was annoyed today. he petered out at the end. i think this other report could be really important in seeing what happens to placed

individuals or encouraged individuals to try to penetrate these lower-level people inside the campaign. >> we'll find the basis for this russia investigation, whether or not it was the dossier originally or the opposition research generated investigation totally or not. but more importantly, we'll be able to lay it side by side with the ig report that just came out. it'll provide context. in the clinton investigation, we have the guy being granted immunity for essentially nothing. no prosecution. i mean, all those things may be defensible individually in a vacuum, but an incredibly light touch for anyone who's ever gone through an fbi investigation. and we'll get to compare that

to, gee, what do you know, people's houses are being searched at 6:00 in the morning. and so i think this second report could have -- could be a big deal, could fill in some of these gaps, >>getting this professor in london. all this stuff that they were trying to do. my goodness, they were leaving no stone unturned. trying to get a russian billionaire to help. they'll doing everything. meanwhile with hillary, it's like maybe we shouldn't get the wiener laptop. maybe we should wait on that. so a totally different approach, which also comes through when you read the totality of this report. giuliani today talked about the question we've been talking about for months here about whether the president should testify. i want you all to listen

carefully to this. >> what do you think should happen now in the mueller investigation? >> they should end it. the ig report basically tells you that both prongs of the mueller investigation are either corrupt or answered. >> and he went on to say the president should not -- he basically said no interview. the president shouldn't be bothered with it. any thinking of your exchange from the beginning of the possible perjury trap? president trump likes to talk. he loves to get his point across. he didn't do anything wrong, he says. so he's like, i'm happy to talk. he wants to talk. but as a lawyer, i'm a lawyer as well, how dangerous is it for him to go into that special counsel's office? >> so as for the first part of your question, does it change anything? no. from day one, i thought the president shouldn't talk. they're the gunners. they're the go-getters. they're the ones who want to

make their case and name. no bigger prey than the president of the united states. he should not go in there because there's no confidence that the deck won't be stacked against him. we've seen that. but in terms of witnesses, a ceo, a powerful person is the worst witness. they're used to getting their way. everybody in the room sucks up to them. it's just a totally different scenario when you're talking even seemingly casually to a prosecutor or fbi agent. it would be a big mistake for any ceo or president, but particularly for this president. now we've seen the corruption pervading the fbi. so absolutely not. >> giuliani's point today was, now that we've seen, we know just what was going on in there with the desperate effort to stop him from becoming president, and she gets to sit

in there when they're talking about whether they should subpoena hillary, the cozy relationship between the press and the fbi agents, the press are giving perks to the fbi agents. they don't know where these leaks came from. totally out of control. i want to go back to you, john, because we have john who exclusively gave us a comment tonight about what this ig report actually says. the clear evidence of his usurp of power, violation of oath of office, and material false statements of the public and congress, all to conceal his own conduct. the finding of no bias was ludicrous. the oig's findings support the decision to fire comey. >> absolutely. he was fired because of the things he had done and the president was right to take those actions.

i also think a lot of things have been made out of the fact that the president fired the director of the fbi. it's not unprecedented. we saw it with william sessions. but this is clearly based on the report we're seeing, gives good cause and justification to the actions the president took. >> there was also the shocking development today. a federal judge appointed by obama actually jailed paul after mueller claimed he tried to tamper with witnesses. giuliani responded by floating the idea of presidential pardons in the russia investigation. robert, this led jeffrey to say the following about giuliani. watch. >> it is so corrupt and unethical what giuliani said. i mean, we are in an area here that is literally

unprecedenteded because not that many people in american life have the power to give a pardon. we are so far out of normal ethical behavior, that it's just worth preserving our sense of outrage about it because so much of this stuff happens every day. but it really is appalling. >> a sense of outrage. jeffrey and that outrage. robert, nevertheless, the throwing out the pardon thing. i probably wouldn't have done that if i were rudy today. >> well, and the other reason too is just strategically as a defense lawyer, i wouldn't want him pardoned before the case is over. and so if he is pardoned, he no longer facing criminal prosecution. he could conceivably be forced

to testify. and more over, there's just no reason to handle it now. you just wait and see where the chips fall. and if some point later the president wants to pardon, he can. as far as being unprecedented, george bush sr. pardoned the day before the trial. it's been done. there's no question it's the inherent power the president has. there's no real check on it. i just can't get that outrage though. the answer to it is a political answer, which is it was done publicly and the president can suffer blowbacks if he does it. >> and we had a myriad of instances where the obama justice department -- we had eric holder held in contempt of congress over the documents, i think it was fast and furious. there's no moral outrage.

give me a break. >> yeah. somebody needs to give him the smelling salt, the selective outrambling, the hypocrisy is laughable. they should be concerned as americans about the corruption of the fbi and other agencies of the government and not about this one instance. i outraged that a judge is appearing to use an incarceration as a penalty as a punishment prior to a trial. it's supposed to be used in preventive attention where it deals with flight risks and other issues. that's what we should be outraged about. >> she was really lecturing today saying basically you're not in junior high. can't take away your cell phone but can't trust you not to talk to witnesses, so good-bye. thank you all. fantastic panel.

with trump flying so high abroad, the resistance kind of hit a wall. i'm going to explain in tonight's angle next.

>>meet the real cultist. that's the focus of tonight's angle. you have to hand it to the anti-trump resistance. they've tried a lot of different things to stop donald trump. well, during the campaign, the chatter and classes at various times called him a racist, he was a misogynist, he was stupid, a fraud in business, he wasn't as well read as the other candidates. he also didn't play nice in the sandbox. he was brash, boorish, and an

e egomaniac. and now after this ig report, we know that they were agents by day and activists by night, who were working on an insurance policy to stop trump from winning the presidency. and then when that didn't work, fired fbi director jim comey leaked his notes to a pal who in turn leaked them to the press, all to trigger the appointment of special counsel robert mueller on that bogus russia collusion theory. and now more than a year and $17 million later, while the special counsel's approval numbers have gone down and president trump's have gone up, the economy is soaring. and of course trump is enforcing our immigration laws after years of neglect. wages have gone up, unemployment

has gone down. so now the trump resistance have got to try something new. >> it's not a good place for any party to end up with a cult-like situation as it relates to a president. >> he's devolved into a cult. >> you can have the last word. >> donald trump is accused of leading a cult. so cult is fair to you? >> i think the republican party is headed that way. i think cult is a very strong but a very good word in this case. >> obama called us bitter cringe -- clingers. an agent of the fbi use less ambiguous language. this is how an agent described trump voters the day after the 2016 election. trump supporters are all poor to middle class uneducated pos that think he will magically grant

them jobs for doing nothing. they probably didn't watch the debates, aren't educated on his policies and are stupidly wrapped up in his unmerited enthusiasm. look, donald trump isn't perfect. none of us are. but more americans are seeing that his new approaches to governance are paying off. and they're seeing past the constant sniping and criticism and they're recognizing that through it all, trump has focused on making life better, safer, more prosperous for the true people. that's not cultish. it's common sense. the closest thing we've seen to a cult is the cult of obama. who can forget these gems? >> you have the equivalent of a rockstar in politics. >> the feeling most people get

when they here obama. >> all the honors that have come your way, all the publicity, who does it make you think of? is there a loved one? >> he's personable. he's handsome. >> i don't think we've ever had a president, save lincoln, who is as great a speech writer at this man. >> everything about this first family is historic. >> you're a better man than me, sir. you really care about us and the american people. >> i could watch that all night long. we had so many clips, by the way, we couldn't even fit them in the angle. so maybe we'll do a special show just to review all the fawning over obama. the -- >>can someone tell me what happened to name my greatest strengths? i guess it would be my humility.

greatest weakness. it's possible that i'm a little too awesome. i... [cheers & applause] so in love with you. >> and although obama left the white house, his cult members haven't left the commune. >> yep, former president obama is waiting. >> obama's says democrats should talking about kitchen table issues. >> and he was gracious and he's helping us raise some money. >> do they have no one else to turn to? no one? don't think for a second that trump's economic nationalism, his conservative more populous

philosophy won't outlast his presidency. it certainly will. unaccountable trade deals, lacks borders. those days, my friends, are over. so let the good times roll, until the democrats and the bitter bushees come up with some other lame line of attack against this president and his hopeful very optimistic supporters. and that's the angle. joining me now to react right here on fox news, howard curt and dick morris. i'm been dying to talk to all i don't have you guys today about this because when i started hearing this meme this week, "oh, it's the cult of trump," they tried to say he was dumb, he had dementia. remember that last year? they needed to remove him from office. like the cabinet had to be

activated. dick morris, you've seen the -- >>i think his policy is crucial. but i think the thing about his personality that is capturing people is that he's congruent with what people want. we want the president to get stuff done without waffling or with winds blowing. and trump is a builder. he's a developer. that's what they do. he gets it built. and when he talks about korea or the economy, the critics all say he can't do it, it's impossible. but then he gets it done. he implements it. even after it's done, they still say he didn't do it or it'll come apart. and that creates a real sense that this guy is someone to follow because he gets it done.

it's the same concept that inspired reagan and even churchill supporters, that we don't care if he left or right, we love the way he acts, the way he gets it done and expresses our innermost desires about what the government should do for us. >> he's unapologetic about his desire and impatience for change for american workers. that's just refreshing. you've been around washington for song. it's refreshing to hear someone today. what did he spend, like 45 minutes with answering questions just out in the driveway. i thought it was great. but you just wrote a piece about the supposed cult phenomenon. so tell us your thoughts about

where the real cult me -- >>the people who would follow such a leader are mindless, delusional whack jobs. there's a sense here, it's only about 15 seconds on the google to find new york times editorial last week, the cult of trump. national journal last year. i get the idea that this is president trump's republican party. and whether out of loyalty or out of fear, many republicans are falling into line. but to call it a cult, and no one gets upset about it. they still don't quite grasp trump's appeal. >> it's unbelievable to me that now a year and a half into this,

his numbers are going up, mueller's are going down. all the measures that we talked about. confidence is up, a possible denuclearized korea. i just had to play something because i know you're going to love this. lindsey graham today was being criticized for actually working with trump. let's watch. >> i like the president. i trust him in terms of trying to do things that are big and matter. >> but people say this is two-faced. where at the graham of standing up to donald trump. what do you say? >> when i worked with president obama, and i did on occasion, i was a hero. now when i work with trump, i'm two-faced. i know how the game is played. if you don't like me working with trump to make the world a better place, i don't give a

[bleep]. >>they're trying everything but none of it is sticking. i'm telling you, i think they're out of political ammo here. close it out for us. >> i think there are two things. i think first people -- the democrats bet on impeachment. they bet on russiagate. and that's falling apart and they have no b plan. and secondly on policy, it's so clear we're opposed to trump's economy, trump is horrible, that when he accomplishes something, they can't share the spotlight. they can't share the credit. republicans could share clinton's credit for healthcare reform and the balanced budget. >> they're fresh out of ideas. it's showing. and i think the american people are noticing it. sorry i had to cut you off there. by the way, why are the media

turning to scripture now to attack trump on immigration? you've got to be kidding me.

>>it's time now for friday follies. is this one of the stein -- signs of the apocalypse? here to explain it to us and so much more in tonight's friday follies is new york times best-selling author raymond arroyo. let's hope that's not a father's day trend. what's up, raymond? >> i've got to start with this bible mania. earlier this week, the southern baptist convention and the catholic bishops chastised the

trump administration for their immigration policy. saying, st. paul tells us you have to obey the law. look. >> we actually did dig through the bible to find passages that lent themselves to the current border practice of separating migrant children from their parents. i want to begin with matthew 14. but jesus said, suffer little children and forbid them not to come unto me. >> who is forbidding children to come to jesus? this is conflating the scripture and turning it into a public policy that it was never intend to be. >> how long did the bible reading go on? >> no, no, no. this went on and on.

he looked like a theologian, look. >> i'm not finished this. let's go to isaiah 10. woe unto them that decree unrighteous decrees. >>that one's interesting. but that's an old testament reading. is he suggesting we should follow god's commands and the kings follow his orders? i don't think so. look, this policy separating parents has been on the books for years. they did it during the obama and bush administration. now they're saying god wouldn't want the this. there are a lot of things god wouldn't want. >> all the catholic churches -- >>we have to get into the explosion of men who are doing plastic surgery, okay? >> i knew you would want go here. i haven't had any.

>> i love this segment. what are the most popular types of plastic surgery for the metrosexual men out there with their skinny jeans, man buns, and man purses? >> the first is knows reshaping, then eyelid surgery, liposuction, breast reduction was number four. >> what? breast reduction? >> hair transplants were at the bottom. i thought that would be at the top. breast reductions top it. i don't need help there just yet. >> when people say the word moob, is that what they're talking about? okay. so men just want -- >>i hope not. >> it's not an augmentation. it's a reduction. >> they are reducing the man

boobage. kraft cheese. can you imagining doing a promotion like this for mother's day, saying mom is cheesy? i doubt it. i hate this diminishment of dad. i saw planet fitness put out a calendar of dad bods. it's father's day. we should celebrate men and fathers. >> celebrate fathers, male role models all across the country who act as fathers. raymond's a godfather to one of my kids. have a great weekend, raymond. and this could be the most vile allegation ever made against the president. you're going to have to hear what a former rnc chair said about trump. i'll play it for you. we'll debate it next.

>>the demagoguery on the separation of children from their illegal immigrant parents has been absolutely idiotic. check out this exchange. >> we can't find a solution to this problem without harming children, without putting them into concentration camps.

>> i call this a concentration camp for kids. what else can it be? and if this is where this country is going, the american people need to wake up and pay attention, because your kids could be next. >> and they'll come for your little dog, too. you just saw the former head of the gop, who i know, accuse the president of running concentration camps. i would like to say i'm speechless, but i have to talk about it for a segment. so let's discuss it with my friend. we don't agree on everything, but i adore him. leo. happy friday, leo. how are you? >> happy friday. and i can't wait until you get to los angeles. i'm taking your out to dinner. i want to buy you off with kindness. >> i love it. i am a mother of three children. and the idea of parents being separated from children is

horrific in any way you think about it. it feels wrong. however, to describe what we are doing at our border, where people cross the border illegally or present themselves and say, "i want asylum," as concentration camps is both, i think, dismissive and minimizing the holocaust, and it's just wrong. i mean, these kids have clean, nice facilities. they are getting entertainment, recreation, tutoring, teachers, english classes. i mean, they get -- they're treated as well as we can treat them under the circumstances. your reaction to this. >> laura, i would like to quote a person, who said, the separation of these children right now is terrible and disgraceful. i think you would agree with that, because you being a mother of three, these children -- why

are they being denied access to their parents? and guess what. that man in the white house with an executive order can resolve that. and i would think that you can agree that there is not a justification for those kids to be separated from their parents. we're a better country than that. >> what i think we have to do to solve this problem, i think the president wants to do this, we have to have a normalized process that is not rife with fraud, that is not just someone who comes to the border and says, gee, if i bring a child, whether the child is my own or my child or someone i found along the way in one of the cattle cars that the drug smugglers are bringing people into. i mean, you can't just allow someone to come into the county with a child and say, "okay, we're going to house you together and then we'll release you in the united states and come appear at your hearing in

two years. 70 to 80% of them aren't showing up for their hearings. we can't how is kids the same way we how is adult criminals. and criminals are separated from their children all the time. >> right now, laura, there's a game that's being played in congress. republican majority, two immigration bills. daca's being used as a mid-term ploy. why can't the republicans with those two bills get some type of resolution of border control? >> they might be doing it. i think we have a pretty good shot -- >>are they really? >> -- at something really positive happening. i really do. look, we had the 2014 crush at the border. i know you and i were talking about it back then, when during obama -- we had 55,000 family units and kids, underaged

minors. sometimes, by the way, the kids say they kids and we find out they're 21 years of age. that's happening too and frequently. and so are border people to be described as running concentration camps? and another well-known person using the word nazi. it is appalling for our federal agents to be referred to in this manner. it's appalling that scarborough would compare them to nazis. and i completely agree. it's -- we have veterans sleeping in the street about three blocks from where we're broadcasting here in san francisco. as long as we have one veteran on a street tonight, we shouldn't be spending money on

illegal immigrants in the united states. i'm sorry. catch them and take them back to their home country. >> listen, but the smoke game so to play to hyperbole. but i'm asking you, what's the end game? where is the executive order? what >>build the wall, end chain migration. i could write the bill in 15 minutes on a piece of paper. don't ask me on this. leo, may i see you in l.a.? i hope to see you in l.a. it's great to be here in california. in a moment, we're going to tell you how voters could turn the golden state -- clear (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!

>>we're coming to you tonight from san francisco. i have had no pies thrown at me yet. that's a pretty good night so far. in november, there will be a measure on the ballot to divide the golden state into three parts. let's discuss this wild p proposal. there's some areas of california that are conservative. but it's a different kind of place. what's going to happen? >> laura, this is a whacky proposal put on the ballot by a billionaire. it's going to fail. i mean, for starters, who wants six liberal democratic senators in congress? i don't think anybody wants

that. so it's a non-starter i think both for democrats and for republicans. and constitutionally also, it has to pass through a number of hurdles. so it's dead on arrival, but it does spark interesting conversation. >> i used to spend a lot of time in san francisco, but i think it's been a couple of years. i've definitely noticed a deterioration. and this has been written about. homelessness crisis, the trash. we only saw two needles. that's pretty good. we've walked by blocks, only two needles. it's definitely changed. and it's beautiful. it's like nothing else in the world. but i think california can do better. thank you so much. we will be right back.

>>oh, my goodness, what a fantastic week this was, from north korea to that explosive ig report, no shortage of news. and we thank each and every one of you for choosing to watch this show every night. we try to break this down in a way that's different from every angle. we have a fantastic team here on the road in california. it's important to hit the road. we'll be in l.a. on monday and tuesday night. that's it for us tonight.

we'll be back here. and remember, follow me on twitter @ingrahamangle. now it's time for shannon bream and the fox news @ night team. >> this is a fox news alert. it was a surprise media blitz on the white house lawn. the president stays on the attack against his opponents at the fbi. we look as hit evolving position on immigration reform. a new lawsuit over new jersey's tough new gun laws. are we talking confiscation? will new jersey gun owners land in jail if they don't comply? stick around for a hero on a mission for the elderly, disabled. he's coming to a lawn near you. hello, welcome to fox
