tv   The Ingraham Angle  FOX News  July 27, 2018 7:00pm-8:00pm PDT

7:00 pm
have a great summer weekend. a lot to get back to monday. see you then. >> laura: welcome to "the ingraham angle." i'm laura ingraham. the economy roaring. exemplified by a sterling gdp number. is that enough for president's critics? you wouldn't believe what the reactions have been. and remember the michael cohen bomb shell that dropped last night? we'll tell you how flimsy it really is. in tonight's friday follies, raymond aroyo reveals the lacks of objectivity in hollywood. and we start tonight with a
7:01 pm
story you won't get anywhere else. the revenge of obama era judicial nominees. two cases, maybe three, that show you how certain judges can have an outside influence over the policy of this country. the president of the united states and your lives. first, a federal district court judge thursday denied a trump administration request to dismiss a lawsuit challenging their decision to add a citizenship question to the 2020 census. a policy that is completely constitutional, completely sound. judge jesse furman from the new york supreme court said the challengers had successfully proven there's a heightened risk in the current political climate of a lower response rate due to the president's "anti-immigrant rhetoric." i kid you not. that's a judge. a federal judge in portland oregon has ruled allowing a
7:02 pm
trans-gender high school school student in an oregon school district does not violate the privacy rights of other students that may object to sharing that space. the district judge marco hernandez threw out the lawsuit filed by parents for privacy. they wanted this group called parents for privacy in dallas saying the ruling, if the parents are upset, they can remove their children from dallas high school if they disapprove of the trans-gender student access to these facilities. thanks to discuss this trend of the politicized judiciary run amuck, let's bring in two attorneys. hamed dylan and anthe chair of e political action committee. scott, you're here. come on. all right. let's start with you on the
7:03 pm
citizenship question on the census. up until 1950, we did have it on the census. and then it changed and we didn't ask the question. tell us about the posture of this case and this police judge, jesse furman. >> laura what is happening here is that these judges are, you know, taking these cases and imposing their own judicial philosophy and new standards that are not written into the law into these cases. you saw the exact same reasoning that judge furman used here, which is that wilbur ross, in charge of the census in list department, had made some remarks about the reasoning behind wanting to count citizens that raised an issue of animus. it's bogus. not one of the elements that should be applied. clarence thomas has spoken out on nationwide injunctions.
7:04 pm
this is a confusion and an unelected judge trying to supersede and impose his values over the president. that's what the census is for, to count the people in the country. >> laura: they're counting all people. >> count the immigrants. >> laura: hold on, scott. they're counting all people. there's a question about whether you're a citizen or not. now, what is the problem with answering the question? i don't understand that. what is the possible constitutional argument here? >> well, because it's racially offensive, first of all. >> laura: what does it have to do with race? >> it's directed at brown people and black people. >> laura: you're making that up. >> of course it is. >> laura: it's directed at all people in the country. you ask a question. i get asked the question. you get asked the question.
7:05 pm
>> you couple that with donald trump's -- regardless of the supreme court -- >> laura: okay. >> can i say this? that case didn't also -- wasn't just rested on discrimination issues. the apa was violated. the court found despite the advisory committees as well as staff ruled against it, recommending against it, wilbur took it on his own to put it in place. the case is not over. they just got passed a motion to dismiss. it's not the final decision. >> laura: it's not. to say that race -- >> you don't agree with it. >> laura: scott, now you're saying a question asked of all people is racist. all americans would have to answer the question. that's unbelievable to me. you're a smart guy. >> it might not be racist but have a racial impact -- >> laura: why? >> it's absurd. >> laura: we have to move on. all right. we have to move on.
7:06 pm
we got another case. >> does that mean i'll right? >> laura: out of portland involving trans-gender bathrooms. we've heard the trans-gender case and issue a long time, this is interesting because it's a parent's group gotten together and said we understand that trans-gender kids have rights but we represent families whose students, sons and daughters don't want to share a bathroom with a trans-gender person who is born of the opposite sex. this judge said you don't have any privacy rights here. if you have a problem, leave the district. harmeet, would that take the scrutiny? i know it's the ninth district. it's a harsh ruling against that parent's group. maybe i'm misreading it. >> i agree with you. it's harsh and wrong. trans-gender students who may need a number of supports and medical support are -- they have
7:07 pm
rights obviously. the vast majority of them are not trans-gender and they have rights, too, including privacy rights. people trans-gender in their youth, they may switchback and forth. the spector has been raised, which is a real one, of people abusing this trans-gender labelling and electing it in order to peep and get into the girl's bathrooms. it's not really -- >> goodness gracious. >> it's not appropriate to look at one side or the other. i can tell you in girls locker rooms, we've been there. everything is showing. it's not really something that you want as a guy to have hooking at your body. sorry to say. >> laura: i don't want anybody looking at my body. i don't like anybody. i'm one of the shy people. >> it's a slap in the face for the judge to say the -- the parents are taxpayers. they have a right to have their kids educated -- >> laura: scott, do the parents have rights here? or just the trans-gender kids? >> not compared to the
7:08 pm
protective class that the trans-gender student rests in. look at this way. the judge is following the law. every judge has looked at this case and similar cases, they have sided with the trans-gender student because they cannot be discriminated against because they identified with being a woman or identify with being a guy. it's not anatomy that counts. they're in a protected class. this decision is based on the law. you don't like it but you have to list with it. >> laura: harmeet, last word. >> anatomy does count and it's relevant and the other students have rights too. >> laura: there has to be some balance. >> the judge said that was conjecture. you're naked -- >> maybe the judge is not living in reality. give me a break. >> laura: scott, the fraternity brothers -- when i went to college, these fraternity brothers are like pranksters.
7:09 pm
you can see a situation that okay, i identify as this today and tomorrow -- people playing jokes all the time, too. it's a serious matter. then there's pranksters out there that take advantage of it. >> i don't think you and your guests take it seriously the plight of these young people that identify with a different agenda. >> laura: come on. >> they're in a protected class -- i have to tell you -- >> laura: we're out of time. i want to say -- >> i read the opinions of both of these cases and they're accurate. >> laura: harmeet, i want to congratulate you on the ninth circuit ruling that your civil rights case, the people that beat up the trump supporter and they said your case can go forward. we're going to watch that closely. you had a great argument. thanks for being here. no thank you.
7:10 pm
congratulations also. >> laura: and a bomb shell that was nothing. cnn's reporting surrounding trump's knowledge of the 2016 russian meeting rests on michael cohen. you remember what the media thought of him, right? >> it's a group of scumbags like michael cohen sitting around in cahoots with each other. >> michael cohen, the goon that he is. is he serious about becoming president? michael cohen does him no favors. >> this guy is a thug with a law degree and a billionaire boss. >> he shouldn't be a lawyer. that's not the way you communicate. you don't go to law school to act like a thug. >> laura: so a thug. then you don't take what a thug says to heart, right? the media would have questions about his credibility? no, no, no. what he says now has got to be right. >> if he is willing to talk to robert mueller, which sources
7:11 pm
say that he is, is that a game changer? >> michael cohen talking to robert mueller. isn't he a gold mine? >> this is collusion. this is an attempt, a fraud on the american people. >> if this is true, this is collusion. they're colluding with a secret kremlin plot. this is it. this is the ball game right here. >> wiley coyote almost has the roadrunner. acme tnt. goodness. we have a lot to get to with two of my favorite people. could this be enough to get the president this time? here to react, sarah carter and the federalist molly hemingway, fox news contributors. molly? >> it's interesting. people on this story day after day, month after month, year after year finally think they found the thing that will bring donald trump down. the idea that michael cohen is the lynchpin to the entire case and everything will crumble is fascinating that people would cling to that. probably if he was so important to this, bob mueller wouldn't
7:12 pm
have spun him off. his case was spun off to a different venue. if he were that important, i don't think we would see bob mueller letting him go. >> laura: sarah, this is what jeff tubin said when he was pressed around whether or not this is important. this is what i do in the morning. i watch for these sound bites. we have to watch this and your reaction. >> is michael cohen telling the truth about this? >> if he is, then what is president trump guilty of? >> the question is, did -- has -- is did the trump campaign aid and abet and assist the russians. >> laura: abet. but aid and abet. mueller has -- he said mueller has charged a conspiracy. he used those words. >> they don't know what to -- >> laura: i like jeff, but come on. >> they don't even know what to say. i was doing the same thing
7:13 pm
today. i thought what is cnn talking about? they're so much news across the globe and all cnn could do is talk about cohen over and over and over again. they pounded this. cohen has to be right. now he has information that, you know, he has on president trump. but they called him donald. >> laura: i noticed that. >> they disrespect that he's the president. they say donald must have known about this meeting with natalia and don jr. and these russians. they were trying to get information from the russians. well, it's something that molly and i talk about frequently. we talked about it before we came to see you. if donald trump jr. went to that meeting and even if they were going to offer him something, why don't we just go back to hell hill -- hillary clinton paying a foreign spy to collect information to the russians to
7:14 pm
spread this information? >> this is an important point. if you think there's something nefarious about collecting information -- the whole point is trump knew that we were going to bring him down, if you believe that, you should have a problem with hillary clinton and the dnc secretly buying and paying for an operation where you hire a foreign spy and he according to his own claims sourced that to the kremlin. he says he got his information from the kremlin operatives. so if you think this is a horrible thing you should be concerned about the dossier. now we learned the dossier wasn't just used by the clintons. >> laura: that's right. >> it was used by the federal government and used to spy on an american citizen. part of a large -- >> laura: remember when civil libertarians used to care about big brother, big brother spying on us. now suddenly anything goes. if an intel agent or an intel agency says something, it's saying it can never be questioned. >> to the point of laura, they
7:15 pm
omitted information in the fisa that showed that even christopher steele himself one was bias because we know bruce ohr's testimony proved that and he worked for the department of justice and demoted twice and nellie ohr worked for fusion gps. not only that, christopher steele himself couldn't verify the information that he was collecting from the russians. okay. we're going to believe it, we're going to open a fisa warrant investigation on carter page, water going to spy on president trump and drag the entire administration for more than 1 1/2 years into this mess with robert mueller. >> laura: and this is cohen from 2017. he said in a tweet, i'm so proud of donald trump jr. for being open, honest and transparent to the american people. this nonsense needs to stop. that was at the issue with the meeting came out initially. >> cohen says he has no evidence to support his own claim. you people that say otherwise. this points to the actual issue
7:16 pm
of cohen's credibility. >> laura: who cares if he knew. >> the point being the entire case of the russia collusion hinges on him going to prague to conspire with the russians. he said he didn't go. if he's a truth teller around denies this central claim that underpins the russia collusion theory, how come it didn't matter? now it matters because -- >> molly is right on that. >> laura: do either of you find it curious that no one in the sort of more mainstream press does any like serious reporting on this? serious reporting on mueller, on what is taking so long and why this attorney client privilege material is dropping out, lanny davis' past associations, the countries and the foreign entities that he's represented over the years? they're going after manafort for ukraine. but what is lanny davis' clients
7:17 pm
list looks like? >> the most terrifying thing -- >> laura: yeah. >> you have a week like this where all the things we heard about the fisa court being misled are confirmed by documents. the media doesn't report it. they're gas-lighting and making reality seem the opposite of what it is. you have a case like that, the media should -- i get they don't like trump but they need to report on this issue of whether -- not even whether. we know it's established. the trump campaign was surveilled in multiple ways. wiretapped, human informants, national security letters. >> laura: if they were done with hillary, they would be -- >> all the resources, laura, that "the new york times" has, "the washington post" have, with the great history they've had as well which is why people became journalists, to do investigative reporting. they stepped back and let our
7:18 pm
narrative role -- >> laura: the amazon post is dedicated to one thing. getting trump out of office. they want to recreate the old glory days. >> it's about impeachment. >> laura: they're not going to report on the other stuff. great for being here. trump defies the critics again. the gdp report, wow! just the latest example that the economy is roaring back to life under this president. so why is the media not cheering the results? the white house is here to respond next.
7:19 pm
7:20 pm
7:21 pm
>> we're on track to hit the highest annual average growth rate in over 13 years. i will say this right now and i'll say it strongly, as the trade deals come in one by one, we're going to go a lot higher than these numbers. these are great numbers. >> laura: it's a running theme. trump defies the critics again and again. the latest example, the fairly stunning gdp numbers that dropped this morning. but it was no surprise to me, like clock work, the media are doing their level best to down play the great news. >> 1/4 of growth does not transform a economy. we all know the numbers bounce
7:22 pm
around quarter to quarter. >> it's good to see but will it last. >> president trump will take a lot of credit for the numbers. don't believe him. a lot of people that bought things because they're worried about his tariffs and a lot of false growth from tax cuts juicing the economy. >> laura: i heard people saying it was all obama's economy. all of them were really excited about his chance for more american success. here the react, kevin hasett. thanks for being here. >> thanks. >> laura: i know you're not surprised. this number comes out after -- we're going to play the great predictions from last year. and these media types do everything in their power to down play it or give the credit to president obama. it's stunning. >> yeah. after president trump, it's laura ingraham's policy.
7:23 pm
how long have we known each other? >> laura: 20 plus years. >> the fact is we said if we cut corporate taxes the jobs would come home. if we had energy dominance, there would be exploration and drilling. if we had better trade deals by showing we're tough, we would reduce the trade deficit. so we have a capital spending boom, structures investments sky rockets because of the drilling and the trade deficit went down and contributed to higher gdp growth. everything about the trump agenda is working and that will drive the critics crazy. i'd like to add one last thing. there can be a sugar high in economics. you remember cash for clunkers? they bought a bunch of clunkers and people had to buy a new car. so gdp growth went up a lot in that quarter. after that they had a new car and it went back down. that was a sugar high. what we see is capital spending and capital spending increases supply. so all of those factories being
7:24 pm
built this quarter will have output in the next quarter and that will sustain the growth. >> laura: some of the doubters are saying, well, a lot of this has been juiced by other countries buying our soy beans in anticipation of the tariffs that are now not going to happen as far as europe goes. so they're stockpiling the soy beans, a huge increase in u.s. exports of soy beans. they say in the months coming, these countries won't need to buy as many soy beans, so that will put downward pressure on our gdp and thus the 4.1% very high level of today is not sustainable going forward. the president says look for higher numbers today. >> you know, i don't know higher numbers, but i don't want to disagree with the president either. the fact is, that we understand farmers and the white house. we know the soy bean crop is about to be harvested in september and prices have gone
7:25 pm
down. they've gone down recently because the chinese did stockpile lots of soy beans in anticipation of the trade dispute. but there's other things like the reshoring of activity because we're no longer an unattractive tax environment. the biggest news in today's gdp report which will frustrate the democrats, this old thing called inventories. if everybody is decided they're optimistic and they're going to buy stuff, the firms will ratchet up consumption. they're selling stuff off the shelves because production can't adjust so far. so inventory subtracted 1%. >> laura: we turned into doc's business. >> i apologize. we're going to get the 1% back because the shelves are empty. >> laura: yeah. we have some fun things here,
7:26 pm
this is what paul krugman said. this is after the 2016 election. he said we're looking at a global recession with no end in sight. i suppose we can get lucky. but on economics as if everything else, a terrible things happened. l.a. times. if trump thinks he can get more than 3% economic growth, he's dreaming. nose are just the ones we found in five seconds in our search today. jeb bush is saying yeah, this is great because of the tax cuts. but you now have to do immigration reform and you have to have free trade policies. so he was kicking the tariffs on the way to the praise there, kevin. final comments. >> the president's strong stance on trade has delivered a lot of progress in these negotiations. remember, the objective is to open up european markets, open up other markets for agricultural products. you saw the great news from the
7:27 pm
e.u. this week. that would have never happened if he didn't stand strong as you've been advising him to do. >> laura: never, never. thanks for being here. i appreciate it. >> great to being here. >> laura: and his response, the same man that worked for the obama administration, austin goulsby. tell us why we should be discouraged by a good gdp number? to listen to the commentary today, it's like you want to take a prozac. this is great news and so many of the democrats could not deal with the positive news for the country or for trump, which is very sad. >> look, i'm going to agree with you. i find it sad and you can see there were a bunch of democrats just trying to spin it in a partisan way. there's nothing bad about having a 4% gdp growth number. that's good. good for america and the president is entitled to say this was a good number.
7:28 pm
you can see he was beaming with pride. the question now is how can we continue to sustain that. it's worth remembering just last quarter was a mediocre number. so we had around 2%. now we got 4%. let's hope we get more 4%s and not reason to the 2%s. i don't think there's anything that you should convince yourself that was bad about this number. it wasn't bad. >> laura: we aren't saying wages rise as we want, especially with the tight labor market. you'd think wages would begin the uptick that's a problem. >> and i agree. >> laura: we haven't seen real wages. we're seeing bonuses though, which is nice to see. but people want to make more per year and per hour. >> we're not seeing it as we should. but that's the toughest part of the recovery. it has been true for a long
7:29 pm
time. it's not like this is just the fault of the trump administration. it's been a long period that we haven't had enough wage growth for ordinary workers in the middle of the wage distribution, if you want to think about it. that doesn't take away from the gdp today. it's very good. but just be a little careful. there's several aspects of the gdp number today that looks like they're probably temporary. we're still growing well, but there's some parts of it that 4% -- >> laura: remember the increase in trade hasn't kicked in yet. when this european deal gets done, i understand nafta is going to get done now my sources are telling me. if nafta gets done and looks much more likely now, which i can't believe i'm saying that, but -- >> i hope you're right. every day we don't have a trade war is a good day for america. >> laura: i am right on that.
7:30 pm
let's play this. bob lightheiser was on capitol hill. critics on both sides about the tariffs and how we're trying to take on china, this is brian schatt, democrat from hawaii. watch. >> first of all, you say the chinese are clever because they have a 50-year view. we should be clever and have a two or three-year view. that doesn't make sense to me. >> no. i'm saying we're a democracy, so we take a shorter-term view because we're responsible to our voters periodically. >> so does that mean that democracies always lose to authoritarian governments? does it mean -- >> sir, it means you don't pick stupid fights. >> if your conclusion is that china taking over all of our technology and the future of our children is a stupid fight, you're right. we should capitulate. my view is that's how we got where we are. i don't think it's a stupid
7:31 pm
fight. >> laura: that doesn't get enough play. that encapsulated so much of what the trump economic agenda is all about. don't cede. fight for every tight. and lightheiser is an underrated rock star in this administration. close it out. >> all i say is if your main thing is about confronting china, don't pick seven fights while carrying a six shooter. that's been our problem. our natural allies to stop chinese intellectual property violation would be the very country that we're threatening trade wars with. >> laura: they're working with us, austin. the e.u. is working with us. korea cut a new deal. >> they're not all working with us. >> laura: korea cut a new deal months ago. they did. europe is renegotiating with us. mexico is about to renegotiate nafta.
7:32 pm
canada is realizing what is going on with the steel. >> and the europeans are joining with the chinese -- >> laura: that's nonsense. we're out of time. >> we have to find a way to confront china to help us. >> laura: we tried. we're out of time. we'll roll. >> great to see you. >> laura: great having you on. and it's is not snakes on a plane but socks on a plane. are you confused? i am. you don't know what you're going to get on "the ingraham angle." stay there. ♪ keep it comin' love. if you keep on eating, we'll keep it comin'. all you can eat riblets and tenders at applebee's. now that's eatin' good in the neighborhood.

7:36 pm
"fraser" may be rebooted. remember "charm?" with the witches. and "buffy the vampire slayer." you remember that show? >> laura: no. never watched it. >> it was huge -- in the 90s, this is one of those seminole shows that -- it was a girl fighting back that could be beautiful and tough. a lot of blow-back. they want to recast buffy as a black actress, have her play the lead role, this is a tweet of what is happening on social media. this is a staff writer for vulture. angelica jade. she's an african american writer. she says i'm not interested in seeing a black slayer taking on buffy and gender and race reboots. we deserve our own mythology. that is a great important take on this. remember a few years ago, they trade to relaunch "murder she

wrote" with octavia spencer. that went nowhere. >> laura: a flop. >> angela lansberry said i can't see it. the fan as greed with her that reboot died. >> laura: is angela lansberry still work something. >> yeah. >> laura: she's unbelievable. >> my problem with the reboots and trying to recast them, tell new stories for this generation. you're depriving this generation of their characters, their stories by trying to squeeze them in these old sitcoms in this case. i've had it with the reboots. >> laura: it's just -- >> if you're going -- >> laura: like star wars. they're the worst. >> "everybody loves raymond" would make a great reboot. start writing. i love that show. speaking of reboot -- >> laura: i didn't watch any of those. >> this is a curious story where
7:38 pm
we need a reboot from last night. a spirit airplane was grounded over what people on the plane were calling a stinky sock smell. the plane going from new york to ft. lauderdale was diverted to myrtle beach. i'm not making this up. >> laura: spirit is the worst -- it's the worst experience. i'm sorry. i've been on spirit air lines before. they charge you for air, for god's sake. don't breathe. it's $25. >> i'm bringing a camera next time. >> laura: sorry. no can do. >> the passengers started complaining. they got nauseous. they grounded the plane in myrtle beach. when people went aboard, they couldn't find the smell. i said why didn't you check the passengers? you have a stinky sock smell. have you traveled when these people -- >> laura: no, no. >> -- take their shoes -- >> laura: no, no. i took a photo of a flight from

was formed and they made the recommendations, they made recommendations to protect america. but the republicans would never take them up and some of it was about our borders. >> laura: is she saying 9-11 was an incident? democrats are tough on immigration. well, to debate that, let's bring in michael cutler, special agent at ins, predecessor to ice and francisco hernandez. great to see both of you. francisco, how are democrats tougher on immigration than republicans? when she's trying to convince of that, leads me to believe she knows they're losing on this ice issue. she's making a bold proclamation that the democrats are for border enforcement. how? >> we want to get our feelings
