7:00 pm
all the details. you do not want to miss monday's show. by the way, don't miss the show. we'll see you from helsinki monday. have a great weekend. >> laura: good evening, from washington i'm laura ingram, this is "the ingraham angle." i thought things were supposed to slow down in the summertime. there's no slow time with president trump and we'll have insight and analysis you cannot and will not get from anywhere else tonight. president trump meeting with the british prime minister and the queen and monday is set for the one-on-one meeting with russian president, vladamir putin. and we'll analyze the president's entire overseas trip and preview what's in store for monday. back at home, a major development in the mueller probe, interesting timing too.
7:01 pm
the doj announcing new charges for 12 russians for hacking the democrats but is there evidence of collusion? doesn't look like it. it's the end of the week so raymond arroyo will be here for friday follies. a special london edition and the latest trump protest balloon-flying madness above london and discuss the meeting with her majesty and we'll unpack some of the most curious statements by the new odd couple. george w. bush and his pal, bill clinton. first the top story, thousands of demonstrators hit the streets to protest the president's visit to england today where trump continue to challenge the global status quo. as we reported last night, president trump gave an interview with the ""london
7:02 pm
sun" and he clarified things and shared his view on several international matters. >> i didn't criticize the prime minister. i have a lot of product -- respect for the prime minister and it was a story that was generally find but didn't put in what i said about the prime minister and i said tremendous things and it's called fake news and we still have a lot of problems with the good old recording instrument. based on just trade in general and our other relationship would be fine, but the trade is tricky. we want to be able to trade and they want to be able to trade and i think we'll be able to do that, okay. i think she's doing a traffic job, by the way. >> i wonder if you agree with the cultural fabric of the united states and perhaps you can elaborate on that. >> i think it's been very bad for europe. i think they better watch themselves because you are changing culture and you are
7:03 pm
changing a lot of things. you're changing security. >> the u.k. has a proud history of welcoming people who are fleeing persecution to our country. we have a proud history of welcoming people who want to come to our country and contribute to our economy and society. and over the years, over all immigration has been good. >> you giving russian president vladamir putin a heads up ahead of the visit. >> see, let me explain something, we have left nato with more money, with more unity, with more spirit than nato has probably ever had. >> how would you characterize your relationship with the united kingdom? >> i would say i give our relationship in terms of grade the highest level of special. so we start off with special. i would give our relationship
7:04 pm
with the u.k. -- and now especially after the two days with your prime minister, i would say the highest level of special. >> laura: i'd like to have the highest level of special introduction. joining me now is newt gingrich ahead of a new show on netflix. very special. what did you make of that appearance today with teresa may after the sun article that did have an audio component so they did quote him but apparently they didn't quote him fully on what he said about may. how did that go down? >> i think sometimes trump spends a fair amount of time make up ground he lost. they're allies, they are friends. i suspect he was embarrassed it came out the way it did. she has a very weak government
7:05 pm
in a lot of trouble and that didn't help but i thought the press conference helped her and it was also the tone was about right, i think. trump is actually at a very good trip. even the north america times in a shock editorial that talked about what obama tried to do with nato but failed to do and trump must have gotten a lot done for the new york times to say it. >> laura: if someone comes to our country and foreign leader and criticizes our president or policies we don't much like that and i don't think president trump likes that when we had previous mexican presidents about immigration. i know i hit him hard on the radio. it didn't feel right. giving the interview to the sun, it was a ridiculous mistake. >> it was a mistake. he said, look, he's had a very
7:06 pm
good trip -- >> laura: and apologized and clarified. >> he has done good things overall. he's a little bit like a baseball player who strikes out but also hits a lot of home runs and there's some balance in there and i think that's part of his style. >> laura: he's still relatively new a year and a half into this and still lots of successes. the criticism of the president and i have to play this, tom donalan today on cnn former security adviser for president barack obama. >> i think you would tell him can sell it. >> it wasn't well prepared and wasn't coordinate with the allies and didn't have the unity you'd like to have. >> there are no goals? how many summits did barack obama did that were more like parties that kept the catering
7:07 pm
office busy in the white house. that's ridiculous. >> it's inappropriate to measure the comments of an obama era official as though they're real. these people leaded a world view of weakness and lead from the rear. john kerry's model of being secretary of state is anywhere there's a five-star hotel with a five-star restaurant anytime. if you watch what president trump is completing and nato leaders are getting to the level of commitment president bush and president obama asked for and they said yesterday. there's a number of things happening that represent substantial gain partly by force of his personality. >> laura: and he's different from the usual -- i mean, i think there's a lot of smart people that look at foreign relations, booking institutions,
7:08 pm
all these think tanks spend their lives dedicated geopolitical cal -- geopolitical information and this guy comes oong -- along and says this is ridiculous. you need to cough up more money and why shouldn't we have a better relationship with russia and china is more of a threat. you can't say that -- why? >> first of all, trump is probably the most usual president since andrew jackson in that his personality, his style, his aggressiveness. second, i think what drives the foreign policy establishment crazy is their prestige and their rule in the world is because they're smart and right good papers. >> laura: to complicated for the
7:09 pm
people to understand and president trump does it better. >> and de values them and we say what if the new model became a president who is elected who doesn't need us. you see the frenzy on the right and left. >> laura: let's face it, the people on the right and there's about this many, five, they're talking just to themselves and maybe a few people on msnbc and that's a dwindling audience, god bless them. today the indictments were handed down, long indictments, russian dru officers and russian officers, what do you make of the serious allegations of hacking into american account and placing malware into the dnc and podesta. very serious. >> they're very serious. they raise two questions in my mind. the first is why is it mueller would decide to release this before the president sees putin.
7:10 pm
it's odd timing. i don't care frankly because i think it strengthens trump's hand to say we just indicted 126 your people and -- 12 of your people and the second question which is important, if we start going after people engaged in hacking in the united states, there'll be so many chinese we should be indicting i think it's a very standard to start setting. probably the right standard but it does mean we'll go after other country's nationals in their own homeland and indict them. that would be a big change. >> laura: and trump did say today he would confront russia about the question of medaling before the indictments were handed down. watch. >> we'll be talking about meddling. we'll bring that. i don't think we'll see any, gee i did it, you got me. there won't be a perry mason but
7:11 pm
you don't know what will happen. i will firmly ask the question. >> laura: there's a narrative they can't get off. trump cozy to putin and mean to our allies. it's a drumbeat you hear all day long and sometimes when you're friends you have to have an honest relationship. >> if they listen to president trump said to chancellor merkel when he went right at her and said don't accept the russian pipeline. by our liquid natural gas instead he's threatening putin win billions of losses and that was not the act of somebody in putin's favor. >> laura: the more we are able to try -- go to russia and that would be draft -- disasterous
7:12 pm
and he continues to show up people on matters that are complicate and important but he said it doesn't have to be that linear. we can have better relationship with more countries. >> he also has a model in his own head that we live in an age where leaders can communicate with leaders. he does that with kim jong-un and the president of china and doing it now with the president of russia. the structure once said jaw, jaw, jaw is better than war, war, war. i'd much rather have them talking than drifting towards -- >> laura: and democrats are saying we shouldn't talk and in the '80s they said all we should do is talk. speaking of, there was the big trump balloon and the protests in london. remember the protests against reagan and against bush. we have some of the video. reagan, '82, bush, berlin and
7:13 pm
spain and '82 for reagan and fires and huge mast protests. you hear we're the most hated because of donald trump. you hear that all the time. >> i spent a fair amount of time in rome and recently i was in paris. i don't think we're hated. i think people on the left react like people on the left and of course a lot of the reagan demonstrations were paid for by the soviet union who were su subsidizing the movement which the liberals don't like to concede. so somebody puts up a big balloon. my question is this is the best they got. >> laura: one point, we're running late. on the trade issue. he's getting slammed for tariffs. one of the top respected
7:14 pm
analysts had a great quote -- think we can play it, if you don't mind. let's just listen to this because it blows away what everyone is saying about tariffs and whether trump can win a trade war. let's watch. >> we are winning and will win the trade war and i think just look at the performance of u.s. markets relative to china and others. i call it the reagan moment for trade. when people realize at the end of the day the u.s. will prevail because it's a less open economy, it's a more dynamic economy. >> laura: they'll see the trump approach to trade is work. >> with the largest economy in the world everybody needs access here. >> laura: very special, great to see you, as always. i have to get to rome this summer, please. and there's indictments for raugs russians and what about collusion? a full report ahead.
7:15 pm
7:16 pm
7:17 pm
>> laura: rob rosenstein announced today charges against 12 russian intel officers for hacking the democrats and the hillary clinton campaign during the 2016 election. some are saying the timing is curious given the president's meeting with vladamir putin
7:18 pm
monday and there was this important clarification. >> there's no allegation in this indictment that any american citizen committed a crime. that no allegation that the conspiracy changed the vote count or affected any election result. >> laura: not quite at collusion yet, are we? let's bring in some experts kim strasel and the attorney and former independent counsel deputy in the white water probe and a strategy and attorney. scott, you're reaction to today's handing down of these indictments against russian operatives. >> it keeps romming -- rolling forward. the whole issue is america and doj but in particular the white house have got to take this meddling seriously and i think these indictments further that process along. what i worry about most, whether
7:19 pm
i'm a democrat or republican is if this president doesn't accept it or take it seriously what the administrative agencies and government doing from bothering the midterms. it's a real risk. >> laura: hacking is a real problem. we had a top intel official today saying our infrastructure is highly vulnerable to hacks which can shut down our entire power grid in the country and serious stuff -- >> and our border. >> laura: counting indictments doesn't get us to this grand tiry of collusion upon which this investigation was initially started and checked off. you read more indictments than i have ever read in my life. what did you glean from what dropped today and do you think the timing is an any way at the least curious, sol? >> well, it's a lot of questions. let me start with the timing be
7:20 pm
curious or suspicious. i doubt it. i don't know how long the putin trip or summit has been planned. i heard it's only been a few weeks so i seriously doubt that. a couple things though, you talk about indictment counting and the investigation being about collusion originally. from the beginning the investigation was also about russian interference. also, whether they included with any people here and about russian interference in the election and i think this indictment goes to the heart of that and it's real and it's serious and it certainly buys bob mueller a lot of time and says folks, this is what i've been doing and it's not easy to do and put together. now, to scott's point, this may seem petty, but you talk about indictment counting and bean counting. it's not 12 indictments. it's one indictment of 12 people. >> you're right. >> there's perennial -- but the
7:21 pm
other thing to remember here is that and scott will validate me on this and a know you will too, laura, you don't need much. there's no collusion whatsoever here. it's strictly a russian operation. it's very serious. we should all be very concerned about it, however, under conspiracy law in the united states, once you have a conspiracy, it takes very little to connect a new person to that conspiracy. still have to find them guilty beyond a reasonable doubt. >> laura: sounds like they're trying to do that in a circuitous way with roger stone and issues whether he knew when the e-mails were going to drop and denies all this and says they're trying to bankrupt him. he's adamant and they were gleeful at the rosenstein
7:22 pm
indictment. >> this is a criminal case that implicates the president and people around him. >> president trump describes this as a witch hunt whel, we found some witches and they were indicted. >> my hope is the president and his allies were cease and desist on calling the mueller investigation a witch hunt. >> laura: mueller has racked up a lot of indictments, manafort, much of his conduct predates much of this but on the purish suv trying to influence our election and hack into our system it seems like mueller is coming up with some facts that are very important and looks like they could probably get some convictions, whether or not or not it matters because they'll get people coming to the united states. they seem to be hot on the trail of something here. >> look, what was missing from all of those comments is the realization, there's this new
7:23 pm
indictment engaging 12 people but none of it has to do with collusion or obstruction of justice from the trump team as rosenstein made very clear and as he did the last time they came out and named russian nationals they had charged with hacking and being engaged in our election. i think this is the one disingenuous aspect of the mueller probe which frustrates americans which he spends time uncovering russian plots it would be nice to make it clear because the press doesn't want to go there. the democrats are still obsession it every day making it sound like there's an imminent arrest of a trump official at any moment when in fact the guilty pleas or indictments the special counsel has filed have been unrelated to any of the original accusations. we have a couple on the catch-all of lying to the fbi and one for a supposed money
7:24 pm
laundering file from the past. >> laura: there was no evidence of an american being involved. there may be but for now they have to be careful how they describe this. well taken. today's charges include no allegations of knowing involvement by anyone in the campaign, no allegations the alleged hacking affected the election results. this is consistent with what we've been saying all along. scott, another thing a friend of mine raised with me, doesn't this also under score how important it was for hilary or anyone in government -- high levels of government, not to have unsecure e-mail servers. remember when we discovered e-mail server had been unsecured, very unusual the way she was keeping her e-mails,
7:25 pm
that peter strzok when this issues was raised whether it could have been compromised everyone believes the russians were able to hack into her system. he decided not to engage on that issue. if they're so worried about russian hacking, they didn't seem that worried about hacking into hilary's e-mail. >> those agencies ought to be concerned about that. if there's unsecured processes -- >> laura: there's be an e-mail server in a house or in the bathroom and -- >> what about hillary clinton for her e-mail being hacked -- >> laura: i'm saying if they're worried about russia, where were you not concerned about the secretary of state as smart and savvy as she was trying to sir kim -- circumvent the normal course of government -- >> i think they were. >> laura: she was worried? when she was caught she was.
7:26 pm
>> the rules -- >> laura: she violated them all. >> absolutely. >> laura: sol, go ahead. >> the indictment appears to say -- it doesn't mention her by name but on the very day the president said russia, if you're listening, find those missing e-mails, they apparently later that night made an attempt to go into her server and find them and according to the indictment it was unsuccessful. they have to be describing her. but if i could just speak very briefly to one of kimberly's points, i think it's wrong to say it has nothing to do with his original charter or what he was originally supposed to be looking at -- >> laura: i -- >> i never said that. i said it was behoove him to come out and make clear its one of his main focuses. >> it's in the document. >> rosenstein has already said that for him.
7:27 pm
my point is you're right, it's an important point. it doesn't look like they have anything close to a collusion case. >> laura: they're coming uppent ti on it. -- empty on it. >> no, they're not. >> he was also supposed to be looking at russian interference in general and it goes to the heart of that and it's wrong to have head to him it's a witch hunt. now he wants to get tough with putin and say look what you've done. look what your people have been indicted for. you say he's running a witch hunt. >> laura: last word, scott and kim. >> let's talk about briefly, collusion, right. the gop believes since there's no collusion therefore somehow the white house and donald trump are absolved of something. collusion is not a crime.
7:28 pm
it's an act. it will be in the body of the indictment. charges whether they're money laundering or something else is what the charges are and the other important thing is this investigation is about russia but it's also about whether there were russian connection to donald trump. let's remember that. >> mueller could have solved this and made it easier for himself. with the press suggesting all the time he's been working non stop just on the trump campaign and the sole focus. we know the mueller campaign leaks. his team puts stuff out and they would have made clear one of their focuses was on the russians or the bigger focus was on that and it wouldn't have caused the white house to then suggest this probe was about something -- >> laura: the p.r. is always someone in the trump campaign or manafort. separate from the legal issues, a great point, sol, the p.r. is donald trump is pulling the
7:29 pm
lever or someone else at high levels. kimberly is right. up next, raymond arroyo will be here to explain how trump's visit with the queen went really well today. and why the media is so obsessed about this protest balloon which i think is cute. the british edition of the friday follies next.
7:30 pm
7:31 pm
>> laura: i think we realize it's friday the 13th and time foray british edition of "the friday follies." the queen welcomed president trump and melania today. we have fox news contributor ramon arroyo. >> first of all, we're dealing way woman on the throne since 1952 and met 13 american
7:32 pm
presidents from truman before she was on the throne and then eisenhower in '57 and after that she met ford to carter. president carter -- >> laura: f.d.r. >> no, truman. believe, president carter kissed her on he lips proclaiming no one's done that since my husband's die. today went swimmingly. today 13 presidents have met with queen elizabeth because she met with herbert hoover -- >> laura: look at her smiling. she's having a great time with trump. i love her. >> this say very gracious, beautiful tea and she was smiling and pointing him where to go. there was one awkward movement -- >> laura: why must you go to the awkward moment? >> i can't imagine what was going through the mind of this queen as they reviewed this honor guard. >> laura: donald, would you move
7:33 pm
to the left. you're blocking me, young chap. oh, he has no clue. >> queenie, you were wonderful in the crown. so good in the crown. don't put me up. >> laura: i love her. i'm sorry. 1939 she sat not as queen but sat as the daughter of the king with f.d.r. >> i'm not true that happened. that was her mother, lelizabeth. sorry about that. then there were in central london the protests at the same moment that flood the streets which -- it's kind of uncharacteristic you'd have this level of protests given putin and others have come to town with virtually no protests. and one person challenged the
7:34 pm
protesters a woman named ashe sakar and challenge the immigration policies and it got ugly. >> while be in westminster alongside others who find border administration is unconscionable and our prime minister holding his hand is -- >> did you find it unconscionable. there's basic facts about your hero, obama -- >> he's not my hero. >> laura: the centerpiece of the protest is the balloon. i think it's adorable. cnn covered it as if it was a visiting head of state. >> it's hilarious. they were covering every moment of the flooding -- floating
7:35 pm
balloon. >> laura: it's so cute. >> what's the latest? >> not major stunning developments. it's been up in the air 35 minutes. nothinged changed there. it's got another hour and 35 by the london authority. bear in mind there's political context around the balloon. to repeat what it is, donald trump as a baby in a nappy or diaper holding a mobile phone his favorite weapon of war. >> laura: he's holding a nappy with his cell phone. >> here's the amazing thing here. it was a 19 foot balloon. >> laura: they're making it look like a macy's day parade the way you shoot the balloon. >> if you watch closely, they're like the others.
7:36 pm
the turkish president was here not long ago. he's charged with horrible atrocities. >> laura: they were smashing the security detail. >> he goes there there's almost no protests but the last big protests like this is after george bush -- >> laura: bush equals terrorists. here's the headlines, thousands of a region inflamed in flames. and thousands of people in london, thousand ins -- thous an ands --
7:37 pm
thousands of headlines. they have a short memory. >> it seems as if the outrage is selected. if obama was guilty of doing the same thing why wasn't there a protest there. >> laura: and some former criticism of trump of the summit and we'll explain.
7:38 pm
7:39 pm
>> laura: president trump of course making some demands of our european counterparts but two former occupants of his office thought it was necessary, of course, to take shots thinly veiled at our commander-in-chief. >> i view the role of the united states as very important. the truth of the matter is the way the world is today if the u.s. takes the lead, others tend to follow. do you really want to say we're going to make everybody have a big military but we're not going help anybody change their own lives. i don't think so. >> laura: that's right. the new best buds george w. bush
7:40 pm
and bill clinton solded the -- scolded president trump for doing what they did not. and the you documentary death of a nation comes out and we have the author. it's a little throw take shots at the president while he's abroad. they didn't mention him by name, but come on. >> the fact two guys that ran against each other from opposite parties shows how trump has changed the political cartography the whole map of international relations. this should have been done in 1992 when the soviet union collapsed because the nato is an assembly was created was we were
7:41 pm
afraid of those countries militarizing so a re counting is overdue and took an outsider do it and they've been like toy soldiers that walk in the wall and keep going. the examination was overdue in their time and happening final now. >> laura: pat bucannon was on radio with me yesterday and said look, the days of the open border, endless trade deals with no amendments, that day is over. endless wars, those days are over. it's the last gasp of the old political establishment that was a bipartisan cabal that weren't listening to the people and they were both two-term presidents but on the blue collar issues, jobs, immigration, they were
7:42 pm
both total disasters. >> where i find amusing is people focus on the injustice of legal immigration to natives and people in america but i'd like to point out the injustice of legal immigration to legal immigrant. i'm a legal immigrant and it took me several years and many of us don't come from countries where you can across over a line. the legal immigrant is jumping the line against the interest of the legal immigrant is standing in lined and that injustice is rarely pointed out. we see this also with clinton and bush, they're conflating legal and illegal immigration as if they amount to the same thing. >> laura: he did that all day long at the event in arkansas and george w. bush, again, a very nice man, i like him personally but he just gets it wrong on immigration every single time but throws the word out like nativism and isolation
7:43 pm
and they trip off his tongue without reference to the current political dynamic and this is what he said yesterday with the immigration issue. >> i'm disturbed by the debate that's taking place because i think it undermines the goodness of america. >> laura: so you're dinesh you're a bad person if you only agree with the amnesty plus idea. it's very christian. >> this immigration debate is so filled with cliches and many happen to be wrong. even those who say america was in a sense created by immigrants. that's a half truth. it was created by settlers. they create the original country that immigrants subsequently wanted to move to. immigrants are attract head to kind of society settlers built and that's why they immigrate but that distinction is often
7:44 pm
lost by people who say america was created by immigrants. >> laura: looking forward to your film. thank you for being here with us. i almost couldn't believe my eyes on headlines by boston and there was a council meeting whether to give voting rights to non citizens. the measure is at a stand still because some council members are getting flooded by calls and e-mails by residents who are angry. what a surprise. joining me with reaction, florida's rebound attorney general. pam, we have seen this issue pop up in california where there's been a push for of course, full health care benefits for legal immigrants and driver's licenses but in boston it would be people with green cards and the last category of people illegally in
7:45 pm
the country but not yet citizens. what do you think about that? >> well, obviously we're a nation of laws. they're doing this in maryland. they started it in various cities in local elections in maryland. it's not illegal in local elections but it is in state and federal. talking about the voter fraud, my god, how do you distinguish on the ballot, first, what i.d. will they use and will they use their green card to come vote and are they going create separate ballots to ensure they don't vote in state and federal races because they could go to prison or be deported. from a practical suspetandpoin don't know how they'll make that work. >> laura: first it started with the push for medical marijuana and then the door was open and
7:46 pm
all of a sudden you're in colorado, which i love but lots of people think it's a dooms day. i have to move on to what they're doing to brett cav -- a cavanaugh and there was a chance of the democrats' chances of derailing the nomination. now they're trying to get him by association by this me too movement saying a clerk was charged abusing or accused of abusing clerks. how did brett cavanaugh not know about this. tell us about the story and where you think it's going to go. >> i think these are the extremists of the party and have nothing on judge cavanaugh and why they'll go after him with
7:47 pm
everything they got. the ridiculous rhetoric. they said he threatens american lives by his opinions is ridiculous. let me tell you about my senator, bill nelson in florida. bill nelson, before -- after president trump said four people gave four nominees said he would blanketly reject them. they can stand shoulder to shoulder or follow the laws. elections have consequences and this is our nominee. the three things i always say are so important in a judge and especially a justice, are intelligence, humility and integrity. he's beyond reproach. i got to know him on person
7:48 pm
level because i hired his law clerk and what was impressive to me is his humility. he's a real guy. >> laura: what they're doing is pathetic and transparent and sickening and not going to work. pam, have a great weekend. we really appreciate it and next up, a group of young interns claimed they were refused an uber service because of what they were wearing and be here to tell us the story and it's good. don't go away. fisher investments avoids them. some advisers have hidden and layered fees. fisher investments never does. and while some advisers are happy to earn commissions from you whether you do well or not, fisher investments fees are structured so we do better when you do better. maybe that's why most of our clients come from other money managers. fisher investments. clearly better money management.

>> laura: three republican interns were reportedly kicked out of an uber car this week after the driver allegedly noticed what they were wearing. what caused the expulsion by uber we're joined by the 20-year-old and two interns who were also in the car at the time. first of all, isn't it fun to be an intern in washington in the summer. come on, guys. congrats on getting the internship. matthew, what the heck happened. i'm getting a hint because of what's in front of you. where were you going, by the way. where were you heading? >> laura: >> we were meeting every
7:52 pm
d.c.m.a.g.a. meet up and we exchange cards and talk about current events. >> laura: the make america great haven't. >> and we called uber and shows up at george washington university where we're staying and sees us and said is that a make america great again cap -- >> laura: were you wearing it? >> no, holding it. he couldn't see anything. >> laura: very observant. >> and he's like, is that the hat. >> and we said ya -- yeah and he said i can't do this ride. she was in the car and he was trying to get in and i'm standing to the side and so we're like, this say joke and he's like, i'm serious, i can't do this ride. so last month the same thing happened but the uber was joking so that's why we didn't try to pursue anything.
7:53 pm
