we will always be fair and balanced not the destroy trump media. let not your heart be troubled. there she is, laura ingraham, take it away. >> laura: welcome to washington. i'm laura ingraham and this is the "the ingraham angle." we have a jam-packed show tonight. a busy primary night and we'll give you hints about what november might look like. this includes a razor-thin margin in ohio's 12th district. former governor mike huckabee is here to react to rosie o'donnell's latest stunt at the white house. and the president's legal team expected to respond to robert mueller's demands as soon as tomorrow. dershowitz is here to tell us

what should and should not be included. and representative steve scalise joins us on the increasing hostility republicans face these days including a death threat he just received. but first, big tech and the new corporate censorship. that's the focus of tonight's "angle." remember what zuckerberg said in april? >> we do not allow hate speech, terrorist content, nudity, anything that makes people feel unsafe in the community. from that perspective that's why we generally try to refer to what we do as a platform for all ideas. >> laura: a platform for all ideas, really? facebook and other tech giants have given us ample reasons to doubt that proclamation. the latest example started early

yesterday morning when apple pulled several podcasts associated with a controversial and incendiary alex jones from the itunes store. facebook unpublished four of jones' pages claiming they violated the hate speech policy. hours later, youtube decided it wasn't going to miss out on all the fun and youtube suspended the alex jones channel with its 2.4 million subscribers. it's easy to dismiss concerns about big tech's actions to shut down jones because he is the media poster child for conspiracy theory. but this isn't about alex jones. this is about freedom. and our access to information from the sources we as individuals trust and like. if big tech can control the information flow, then they can also, perhaps, even influence

the outcome of the mid-terms. and even future presidential elections. >> essentially, alex jones has been deleted from these websites. you wonder if he'll have any influence going forward because the private companies who have an incredible amount of control over the internet. >> laura: that's the point. controlling who has a voice and who doesn't on these monster platforms is tantamount to limiting speech and it's also viewpoint discrimination. back in february, facebook launched a new algorithm that would cause top conservative pages to see a dramatic drop in traffic. and this included personal pages. president trump's facebook page saw a 45% drop. diamond and silk said their content was similarly blocked on facebook. >> facebook along with other social media sites have taken aggressive actions to silence

conservative voices by deliberately distributing and weaponizing our page with algorithms that censor our free speech. >> laura: then it was youtube who only ended up limiting channels, temporarily, de'montizing them with no warning at all. this has happened to ben shapiro, dave ruben and dennis frager. for many on the left the view has become if you can't beat them, prevent them from speaking. just look at what happened to conservative speakers on college campuses. and after liberal radio hosts on air america, some democrats thought to revise the fairness doctrine to snuff out conservative talk radio. thankfully that went nowhere. but now they have moved on to the internet and squelching

political speech there. a leaked proposal outlines a detailed plan to take over the internet by regulating digital platforms and purging content they deem harmful or inaccurate. in other words, information they don't like. they would require social media users to be tracked and labeled according to how reasonable their content is deemed to be. democrat senator chris murphy even hinted at this yesterday, tweeting, info wars is the tip of the giant iceberg of hate and lies that uses facebook and youtube to tear our nation apart. these companies must do more than take down one website, the survival of our democracy depends on it. how dramatic. translation, the survival of the democratic party depends on it. there is an old saying in tv radio that content is king.

same goes for the internet. if they can shut down political speech on the ground that it's hateful you have to ask where does this end? if you want to see hate, check out some of the comments on my twitter feed after the show don't. why do leftists, by the way always escape big tech sensors, lou louie farakhan comes to mind. he blames jews for anyo9/11. and what about those who traffic in violence. if facebook cares about standards of safety they wouldn't be granting antifa c p chapters coast to coast -- and if there is a concern about

experience theories like the one that alex jones peddles do moments like this give media kings pause. >> he's bad because he doesn't know how to inspire people or evoke that emotion in them. >> what about his rallies? >> people are paid, chris, you know that. people are paid since he went down on the escalator. he pays people to show up at the rallies. >> laura: trump pays people to go to his rallies. that would be a lot of money. she still has a youtube channel. the truth is we conservatives always want more political speech even when it is offensive to us. our only point usually about speech is limiting it if there is a direct incitement to violence or injurious to children. but political speech in general we want more. while facebook and apple are private companies and, thus,

aren't state actors for first amendment purposes they better be really careful with these moves to circumscribe certain groups political speech because voters in the future, they might just demand that facebook, twitter, youtube, be treated more like public utilities that have to operate in the public interest. for instance a utility can't refuse to give electricity to a family because they disagree with their views or heaven forbid because they are a different race. they act in the public interest. ted cruz said tech companies have, quote, a degree of power, an ability to censor that william randolph hearst could never have imagined. they have the ability, if there is a speaker who is disfavored,

simply to silence the speaker. your words float off into oblivion and nobody hears them. he's right about their power. the big five tech companies are now worth an estimated $4 trillion. that figure puts them above the gdp of all but seven countries on the planet. the immense size of the companies is concerning. so, too, is the speed with which they can succumb to external pressure. point in case, just three weeks ago, mark zuckerberg defended keeping info wars on his platform. >> look at the things getting the most distribution. if people flag them as hoaxes we send those to fact checkers. and if they say it is provably false we will significantly reduce the distribution of that content. >> why don't you just say get

off our platform? >> as abhorrent as some of the content can be it is the principle of giving people a voice. >> laura: well, right. why did he end up caving here? we'll continue to demand answers for you. remember when disgraced fbi aepgt peter struyk texted about an insurance policy to keep from getting elected? maybe, just maybe, these latest moves are the beginning of big tech's own version of an insurance policy to see that someone with trump's views never reaches a position of authority in government again. and that's the "angle." joining us with reaction, monica crowley, attorney dan gi will -- gillion. it's great to see you all.

elizabeth, let's start with you. i watched your campaign ad and you had some images from your parent country of birth, cambodia. and you know, the brutality of cambodia, the cambodian purge and facebook, you know, blocked it. they said what to you when you brought this up? this is some of the images from the ad. what did they say to you when you brought this up? >> they said that my -- the ad was shocking, disrespectful, and too sensational to be on facebook. and that is -- that was absolutely not in so many ways for me. when i decided to run for congress, i got into the race because i -- and part of my message was that great things can come from great diversity. my parents lived through the genocide in cambodia, and came

to the united states as refugees. and so, for some reason, facebook found that offensive and removed my ability to advertise the campaign message. >> laura: dan, this is problematic. i think for civil libertarians. this is where democrats, aclu has been quiet on this. they have a statement on their website but i don't see them on television shows. they are too busy representing illegal immigrants. where are the civil libertarians on this issue? the holocaust are we not able to talk about that and the horrors perpetrated on jews on these social media platforms? >> i think you need to back up a little bit and restate something you said earlier which is really important that none of these companies you're talking about, they're not state actors or the government.

this whole first amendment thing is out the window. so what you're talking about here are decisions by companies on their content. something that fox news does, something that every media outlet does. and i think for you to say, listen, this is all about because we're republicans or -- >> laura: where is the discrimination or the similar actions against a myriad of leftists? >> let me give you an example -- >> laura: why isn't antifa blocked from facebook? they are smashing windows. >> you just asked me a question, let me answer it. back in 2015, being liberal was knocked off facebook. i have a lot more liberal friends on my facebook feed than a lot of your viewers do, and they are griping time and again every night about facebook acting against them too and knock them off for stupid things they say. facebook has made a decision and it's not hard to understand, given the history and the $16

billion that mr. zuckerberg took a hit on, he's made a decision that his company is going to start making different decisions on content than he did before. but info wars is still out there on instagram. it's still there. and instagram is huge. twitter is out there. >> laura: you see no difference between a cable channel -- there's how many cable channels out there? i don't even know. there's a lot. from a cable channel and youtube. or facebook. or the entire apple platform worth $1 trillion. you see no difference as far as their control of information? really? what is the equivalent of youtube. >> i'm not sure where you're going. >> laura: it's controlling information. >> i don't know -- >> laura: there isn't one. >> instagram. >> laura: you don't know social

media. it does not compete. youtube and instagram do not compete with each other. >> thank you for that information. >> laura: monica, of course they are not state actors. when you have a left wing director, employees, 100% of all twitter employees for instance in 2014 contributed to democratic causes. that's not a conservative website piece. that's a factual determination. twitter admitted it. doesn't have any effect? i guess. >> common sense points to the truth about this. look, these internet companies, they're giants. they are incredibly influential and dominant. and that's the point. to your point about twitter, the guy who used to run tech for twitter is now running tech for the democratic national committee. that is just one example. we're not talking about

particular content or info wars, et cetera. what we are talking about is that a few select companies that have near monopolies in the digital sphere have control over the information available to you and it's only going to get worse. we are on the slippery slope where they are controlling the info wars website and so on. but go a couple years down the road and they -- and those leftists overlords in the digital sphere will be able to deem anything they consider unacceptable, and that's a subjective standard, inappropriate for consumption, whether that is statements about islamic fundamentism. >> pro life. >> support for the police. they will be able to use a sliding scale based on what they

think is appropriate, rather than the first amendment standard and that is a very dark and dangerous place for this country to be. >> laura: elizabeth, mark zuckerberg was questioned about this by ted cruz back in april. and he said, look, there's no bias. but we are going to have standards in place. let's watch. >> so a great many americans that appears to be a pervasive pattern of political bias. do you agree with that assessment? >> i understand where that concern is coming from because facebook and the tech industry are located in silicon valley which is an extremely left-leaning place. and this is a concern that i have and i try to root out at the company is make sure we don't have any bias in the work that we do. and i think it is a fair concern that people would -- let me ask -- >> laura: that was a moment of candor from zuckerberg. i mean, anyone who has spent

time in silicon valley it's a political monolith. they don't want to say they're conservative when they work there or they probably will lose their job. i've heard those comments. not at facebook but other high-tech companies. >> it's undeniable that facebook has algorithms that lean toward and incentivize those that have more liberal tendencies and the algorithms will promost chuck schumer and my opponent, jim costa. why did it take five days and the whole national movement for facebook to respond to my ad here? this is my story. this is -- this is the story in which i told that they -- i'm assuming had trouble with in the beginning where it showed glimpses of genocide, those are just photos.

my family had to live through this. >> laura: you think you're being targeted as an asian conservative candidate in liberal california because you represent a dangerous possibility for the left? is that what you're saying? >> yeah, we constantly see this time and time again with conservatives, that from these tech giants, that the algorithms that are in place do not support conservative ideologies. it is so -- the important part about all of this is that it is so incredibly important for platforms such as facebook who claim to be the online community space to have diverse political thoughts on there. time and time again we see this is not the case. >> laura: more speech is better for everybody. dan, go ahead. >> a poll today, 43% of

republicans support trump's idea of shutting down media outlets that don't behave. this goes both ways. this is not a republican versus democrat issue. i mean, you mentioned the aclu. i know the aclu really does not like any infringement on -- >> laura: where are they? they're nowhere. they're focusing on illegal immigration and partisan issues. monica, we have 30 seconds. >> i really feel for elizabeth. she's trying to tell the story of her family which is the american dream and these tech giants are trying to crush that message which is particularly appalling. but as elizabeth points out. they've got the algorithms set in a certain direction and then they'll say we have a next barrier of humans, human beings who are trying to review these decisions to make sure there's no bias. all of those people are on the

left. >> laura: they're on the left. and jack dorsey said that alex jones didn't violate their policy. up next, president trump made a campaign stop for him in ohio, can he pull off a win? you wouldn't accept an incomplete job from any one else. why accept it from your allergy pills? flonase sensimist relieves all your worst symptoms, including nasal congestion, which most pills don't. and all from a gentle mist you can barely feel. flonase sensimist.

>>president trump tonight >> laura: president trump facing a political test of his influence in a house special election in ohio. and this race is neck and neck at the moment. fox news correspondent christen fisher joins us from the headquarters of troy balderson who is fighting danny o'connor for that ohio house seat. what is the latest there? >> everyone is on the edge of their seat here at balderson's headquarters because this race is shaping up to be exactly how the polls predicted. it is razor tight. literally everybody in the room has their eyes on one county. there is only one county that does not have all of its precincts in and that is delaware county. this is a big deal. that it's the county that president trump came to on saturday, where he held his big rally for republican troy balderson. this is also a county that has been reliably republican over

the years. but danny o'connor, the democrat won the early vote by 2,000 votes. that has everybody here nervous. watching delaware county very closely. and the unofficial results i'm looking at right now on the ohio secretary of state website we have 95% of the precincts in delaware county in and balderson is ahead, 54-45. the other county, franklin county. that is just outside the suburb of columbus. this is where danny o'connor is strong. it's also what the republican troy balderson said. he had a bit of a flub last night. and now o'connor is ahead there, 65-35. not a huge surprise there. but this is so close. the other thing i'm hearing from

people in the room, the possibility of an automatic recount if the difference is .5% or less that triggers an automatic recount. is it very close but so far right now, still outside that automatic recount margin. it is very exciting in here but everybody is nervous and cautiously optimistic. that's the phrase i keep hearing over and over. >> laura: certainly loud there. we'll continue to monitor this race and others throughout the hour and the night and bring you the results as they come in. even if balderson wins, the other networks will say it's really a loss for trump. even if he wins he loses. as we touched on earlier in the angle, one of your favorites and i know you've missed her on daily television, rosie o'donnell, has gone into full conspiracy theory mode with regards to president trump. and last night about how many blocks is it?

16, 17 blocks from here, o'donnell led a sing-along protest, i kid you not, in front of the white house with fellow hollywood and broadway stars, even though no one told them the president wasn't home. >> we're so thrilled to be here at the kremlin annex. on night 22. how many have been here every night? let's hear it. and we're going to keep coming back until he's out. let the president know in no uncertain terms that we are alive, awake and we are woke. we are not going away. >> laura: raise your hand if you're sick of woke. i am. mike huckabee joins us with reaction. first of all on my radio show i played all the really bad singing. these are great broadway stars with a lot of talent. but the chanting, no rhyming. they haven't updated the chant

since 1968 on the left. it was very disappointing. but what do you make of her resurgence on the scene? tonight i went by the white house tonight. these people are still out there. i guess, until they feel like they can drive the president from office. >> i think it's important that you noted he wasn't even there. i think they thought it was halloween and they were doing early trick-or-treating and they scared the daylights out of people around the white house. and i believe they perhaps solved this mystery, where did that noise come from that damaged the hearing of the people who were work for for state department down in the cuban embassy, rosie and her team had gone down there and caused that physical damage. one other observation, i thought rosie had moved to canada. you know, she promised if trump got elected she would go. i don't know what she was able to do.

i guess she was coming back for a brief visit. after all she's canadian now, isn't she? >> laura: she's a woman on a mission. she said to chris cuomo last night that donald trump and his organization paid people to attend his rallies. and chris cuomo says, what -- maybe, at some, but he has tens of thousands of people. and she said no, he doesn't. i guess she didn't remember the mobile, alabama rally in 2015 in august where he had 70,000 people. i guess those are all card board cutouts. >> they are sure making a lot of noise. and i tell you another thing, it's absurd to say they are paid. they just love their country. rosie o'donnell has as much right to protest and sing songs as anybody else but it's i think

what we find disingenuous is that herred a constitute is rather than accept the election results from 2016, their idea is let's invalidate the election results because we don't like how they turned out. this is the rantings of a 7-year-old who got defeated playing baseball and decided we're just going to overturn the game rather than learn how to play the game better next time. >> laura: not just that but now the entertainment industry on the left coast and the west hollywood crowd has voted -- i'm sure the president is devastated -- to remove the president's star on the hollywood walk of fame. so no longer will they have to guard the star. this is how petty they've

become. i guess that makes them feel better. that's their idea of victory. >> if they're going to chop up everybody's star who has done something they don't like, they might as well rent a bunch of jackhammers. there are a lot of people on that sidewalk who represent some pretty crazy views and things that have gotten them landed with the me too movement. there we see good-bye from kevin spacey or roman polanski. how many elites will have their stars chopped up because they didn't exactly do the right thing to be charitable about it? >> it's a double standard. we have the -- if you're a star like james gunn like director of "guardians of the galaxy" and you had bad tweets you get an excuse. but if you are a conservative, they never forgive you.

the forgiveness only goes one way. thank you so much. and the showdown between the trump legal team and robert mueller over the presidential interview is about to take a dramatic tern. dershowitz and wisen berg, next.

>> laura: a new turn may be imminent in the showdown between the trump legal team and robert mueller. according to fox news sources, trump attorneys are preparing to send the special counsel a letter largely turning down any questions regarding obstruction of justice. but rudy giuliani gave an interview on politico where he leaves the door open to some limited questioning about obstruction which is an interesting new development. will this spark a major escalation between both sides in the russia probe? joining us now, alan dershowitz,

author of "the case against impeaching trump" and sol wisenberg. and we will get into the judge presiding over the paul manafort trial. let's get to the biggest news. giuliani seems to leave open the possibility of a narrow set of questions if it can be narrowed, on obstruction. alan, i'll go to you first. what might be the wisdom in that? >> well, i think giuliani's tactic is to say our president is willing to speak and mueller turned him down. he is making mueller an offer he can't really accept. he is putting forth a narrow window. if mueller accepts it, then game on. and we'll see some narrow

questioning. but if i were trump's lawyer, i'm not. i would not under any circumstances allow him to te testify. all you need is one question where he answers truthfully but somebody else answers in a different way. say he says i didn't know about the meeting at the trump tower involving the russians and cohen says yes, he did. then you have an opportunity to spring that perjury trap. in the end, i don't think lawyers will generally advise a client to testify or sit down with a prosecutor but it's i think this client wants to be able to say i offered to sit down and mueller turned me down. >> here are the previous conditions placed on any interview that giuliani has set out. and we'll put it on the screen. could only be two to three hours long.

narrow set of questions on collusion. they provide info on fbi information first. they've want that information, show proof trump committed a crime. show testimony is needed to end the probe. and curtail obstruction questions. that was flushed out a little bit more tonight in giuliani's comments in politico. sol, your reactions to these developments in do you agree? >> no prosecutor worth his salt is going to accept those kind of preconditions but there's a reason -- and i have long agreed with professor dershowitz's assertion that the president should not answer these questions. it's far too dangerous. but there's a reason that bob mueller has put up with this dance so long and people don't understand it. if he issues a subpoena to force president trump to be interview by him to go to the grand jury,

for example, certainly, president trump has to accept that subpoena. you can subpoena a president. but then when president trump invokes executive privilege, under the law, the current law in the d.c. circuit, it is going to be very difficult and time consuming for bob mueller to ask the questions he wants to ask particularly about obstruction and there is no guarantee he will win. you're talking about the heart of executive privilege here, presidential communications and thought processes and mueller would have to show that it's very, very important evidence and he can't get it anywhere else. and don't forget when jaworski won the tapes case against nixon and cox won the earlier case their subpoenas were narrowly drawn and they knew the tapes

existed and there were potential conversations on those tapes. mueller does not have that. and more than anything else, mueller does not have the right to litigate executive privilege. the first thing president trump is going to say is i'm your boss, you can't be in court. the reason mueller has put up with these ridiculous preconditions is he can't win if he goes to court. >> laura: and they have gamed this out. you have emmett flood who is running this side of the legal prep inside the white house. he clerked for justice scalia and was my co counsel. they have gamed this out. this is already briefed. >> they game it out a long time ago. that was the firm that represented bill clinton in his efforts to prevent testimony. in addition to his claim of executive privilege there is a constitutional argument and that is since a senator can't be

questioned about what they did on the floor of the senate, i don't believe a president can be questioned about what why he pardoned or why he fired or why he tweeted or why he exercised any of his powers under article 2 of the constitution or the first amendment so although i think if the subpoena was issued and challenged i think mueller would be able to get some testimony from the president if he stayed away from issues that are covered by these privileges but in the end it would be a victory, it would take so much time it would guarantee that the report couldn't be written until after the mid-term elections. >> this is going to be going on for another week or so. >> he's a tough judge. >> laura: i love he says you have to look at me when i talk

to you. that's what i say to my kids. i'm looking at you. and -- >> he does this with everybody. he does this with everybody. but it doesn't make it right. he needs to really hold back and let the litigators try their case. >> he did the right thing when they talked about manafort. he told a truth too few people need to recognize. >> he doesn't need to do that in front of the jury. >> when he is saying you have tears in your eyes. >> that was not in front of the jury. >> laura: it is very dramatic but it might be too much. that ohio 12th race is too close to call. but republican troy balderson has a slight lead. we'll bring you updates when the race is called. but next, an immigrant set to be deported is now accused of putting a police officer in critical condition. the tragic story, next.

>>our country's immigration laws lead to tragic >> laura: breaking the laws lead to trainic consequences again. a colorado police officer is in critical but stable condition after a gun battle with an iraqi refugee. he was in federal custody awaiting deportation. but his removal was halted after a 10th circuit court of appeals decision invalidated the government's grounds for doing so. joining me is dan kav oocholic. and former acting director of i.c.e. is live in studio with me. he was arrested on a weapons charge. he was -- possession by previous offend.

that was in january of this year. and lead to this horrific shooting of a police officer. >> it's a great privilege to be allowed to come into this country as a refugee or nonimmigrant and to knowingly violate the laws of this country, that is someone who needs to leave. they need to send him home. >> laura: the 10th circuit said the government didn't have the right, the description of a violent offense, it's too ambiguous a term. so once again, the courts end up making the job of enforcing immigration law difficult. >> i disagree with the court's decision. but as a law enforcement, we have to salute and follow the court's order. now it's up to congress. if they say the definition is too vague it's up to the

congress to fix it. people who come to this country and commit crimes they need to go home. >> laura: dan, president trump wants to reduce the number of refugees in the united states. currently about 1,000, hillary wants it to be 100,000. we're going to do extreme vetting. but what is your reaction to this particular story and the broader issue? >> well, first of all, my response is that it's -- you can never extrapolate from one example. you know, there was a very good story in the "washington post" in june by christopher ingram showing that in fact illegal immigrants and legal immigrants commit much less crimes than natural born americans which needs to be kept in mind. but if we want to look at the big picture issues, you know, these wars the u.s. has been

fighting like in iraq, have exacerbated the immigration issue. if people want to deal with immigration, the u.s. ought to start thinking about withdrawing from these wars and avoiding -- >> laura: we're not here to debate the wars. i probably agree with you on a lot of the wars issue. >> thank you. >> laura: we're talking about our right, our southern rigvere as a people to decide who gets to come in and when you are here as a privilege that we grant you, who doesn't get to stay. we have violent criminals who are released on to the streets, who people who are here illegally and tom, as you know, have been deported multiple times, come back and commit heinous crimes they have a trail of tears behind them. and we have the aclu beating the drum for more immigrants in the united states. you is to stop.

i don't care about statistics. i don't care. that's a meaningless statistic. they're not supposed to be here. not supposed to be here. >> he was a legal immigrant. he was legal. >> let me respond to the meaningless quote he just made, you know, that illegal aliens commit less crimes than the u.s. citizens. the issue how many could be prevented if they weren't here. they commit less crimes. but how many could have been prevented if we had secure borders and immigration laws that made sense. >> and the john locke study in arizona which was the most definitive of any ever done showed that illegal aliens are 142% more likely to be arrested for a crime. it was specific data culled through and painstakingly documented and i want to put it

on one full screen. issues important to the american voters. the top problem facing the u.s., immigration, number one at 22% of the public. government, poor leadership, 19%. race relations at 7%. health care at 3%. immigration, dan, the number one issue for americans and i don't think they want more imcelebration into the united states. >> i think that immigrants are scapegoated for a lot of problems that are not theirs. i don't like the russians being scapegoated and i think this is that country of immigrants. >> legal imgrans. legal. >>y, but i don't think there is an illegal immigrant. >> laura: that's very revealing. borders don't matter. let's do it all john lennon song. let's -- no wars or countries or sovereignty and no freedom,

ultimately. love the segment. thank you, both. police bust a man threatening the life of steve scalise. he joins us exclusively with his reaction, next. are you ready to take your wifi to the next level?

>>as majority whip, steve

scalise facing >> laura: steve scalise facing threats to his life a year after he nearly died an attack at the softball practice. a man has been charged with menacing the congressman after leaving violent voice mail messages. police found weapons and bomb building information at the man's house. joining us now with reaction is house majority whip steve scalise. it's great to see you. i'm so relieved this guy was found, this was prevented. lord knows what might have happened. we're also awaiting the election results from ohio 12 which we're going to talk to you about. but your reaction to yet another violent threat against your life? >> it's great to be back with you and clearly these kind of disturbing things there's no place for it in politics. i want to thank, once again, our

united states capitol police. they were quick to act when my office received this threat. they sent the information on to the capitol police and the capitol police found out that this man had a -- some real serious concerns and it was hard to track him down because he was trying to use aliases but they found him and he is in custody -- in federal custody and hopefully he gets a serious sentence. you can't allow this kind of threats and violence against people based on political views. >> laura: did he have postings on social media about you? did he have a -- was it a purely political axe to grind? mentally deranged or a combination of both? >> clearly he had some strong disagreements with my political views and others. he threatened others as well. he's going to have to account to that. and the justice department has

him now but my thanks and true appreciation goes out to our law enforcement and united states capitol police acting quickly and working with new york authorities to make sure he got into custody. >> laura: what you see with antifa across the country, taking over the portland i.c.e. office, black hoods, the beatdowns of conservatives and intimidation of conservatives in public. you saw what happened to charlie kirk in philadelphia. this stuff seems to be ratcheted up. the left blames president trump. they say he's calling the news fake news and calling them out and that's making people more and more anxious. >> no. you look at some of the liberal rhetoric from the left, they are encouraging and inciting in many cases violence. it's got to stop. liberals need to call this a out

and speak up. there's no place for it on the republican or democrat side. >> laura: we were talking earlier about facebook and apple moving against more conservative voices beyond alex jones but to others who have seen their voices diminished on these mega platforms. trillions of dollars of market cap in these countries. are you concerned that groups like antifa which has incited violence at these rallies, i mean they continue on youtube and facebook seemingly with imprudent. >> it's clearly a double standard. we pointed some of this out. when mark zuckerberg testified just a few weeks ago i brought this up, the bias that we're seeing in facebook as they put a algorithm in place to change the way people get their news feeds
