only about power. none of those are cliches, and others are exaggerations. >> sean: track meet, rush limbaugh. we'll always be fair and balanced. let not your heart be troubled. ingra-ham time. ♪ >> laura: good evening from washington. i am laura ingraham and this is "the ingraham angle." we have a huge show for you tonight featuring exclusives with senator rand paul and congressman kevin mccarthy. plus, a special thursday edition of friday follies with raymond arroyo. let's get right to our top stor story. how to prune the judicial branch. that is the focus of tonight's "angle." as the media and their democrat compatriots obsess over omarosa or michael cohen or even john brennan, president trump is methodically putting a conservative imprint on the

judiciary. and not just on the supreme court. >> you know, when i got in, we had over 100 federal judges that weren't appointed. i don't know why obama left side. it was like a big, beautiful present to all of us. it was, like come with a gift from heaven. we were left judges, they are the ones that judge all of your disputes. they judge on what is there on the environment and what is not there, whether they will take your farms and factories of way, and where they are not. >> laura: and only 20 months, he is nominated and the senate has confirmed 26 new district court judges, and a record 24 federal appeals court judges. with two more appellate court nominees scheduled her votes this week. senate majority leader mitch mcconnell should get huge plaudits for making trump's judicial confirmations a priority. yet, conservatives are still frustrated. but why?

well, because the most notoriously activist and the most perverse circuit court in the nation, the ninth circuit court of appeals out west is still sitting with seven vacancies. before trump took office, the ninth circuit was totally lopsided, with 18 democratic and seven republican appointees. trump has managed to get one nominee through from hawaii and another from idaho is likely to be confirmed later this year, plus, a seattle attorney was nominated to the court this summer. but still, now more than half of the 13 circuit court vacancies remaining nationwide are out on the ninth circuit. and what's more concerning, the white house has yet to nominate anyone for the three open seats in california. i can think of two good nominees. the reason for this lies with the time-honored practice known as blue slipping court nominees. that is the courtesy of giving a

state two senators an opportunity to say yay or nay to the judicial nomination of a president going forward. and the democrats, by the way, are accusing the republicans are messing with this 100-year-old tradition, which is kind of funny, considering in 2013, democrats themselves chose to go what they call nuclear and ended the ability of opponents to filibuster trial and appellate court nominations. and when harry reid, by , by the wacom announced the change, it was all of course, making perfect sense. >> the role of change will make clerks with all nominations, other than the supreme court, the majority threshold vote. yes or no. the senate is a living thing and to survive, it must change, as it has, over the history of this great country. the average american adapting the rules to make the senate work again is just common sense. >> laura: "just common sense." okay, time for senate

republicans to use their own common own common sense to boast the current standoff with california senators, dominic kamala harris and dianne feinstein. as all these seats sits empty on the ninth circuit, it continues on as it's progressive merry wa. as a time to formally ditch the slip? the argument against doing that after all could be that this could all come back to bite republicans big time when a democrat wins the white house down the road. and i get that come i understand it, but given how the ninth circuit has stymied key elements of the president's agenda, i think we are kind of pass the point of worrying about senate tradition. the ninth circuit is completely out of control, from reversing the the presidents travel ban last year to blocking trump on sanctuary cities, it's eventually but acting like a mic and extension of the anti-trump resistance. there is another option, though, that is short of feeling the blues love altogether, and it would just be to minimize its

effect, in other words, their views of the home states senators are still a factor in selecting judicial nominees but they are not the equivalent of an automatic veto over any presidents pick. but we need to face facts. even if the president fills all the open seats with terrific constitutional conservatives, the makeup of that ninth circuit runaway court will still be 16 democrat appointees and 13 republican nominees. but certainly, there would be a better chance to have balance than any random three-judge panel, right? the odds are better that way. and that would interest be better, by the way, for the president or his agenda, it would be better for the rule of law, the constitution, and the country. and that the "the angle." and it's not just the federal judges, the latest example in that horrifying case at her new mexico involving a remote compound, child abuse, and radical islamic extremists.

astoundingly, judge sarah backus' granting bail to five adults in the abuse case, claiming prosecutors failed to identify any specific threat to the community. now that is as bright prosecutors alleging that these guys were training kids to use all those firearms to carry out terror attacks at schools. how is this possible? joining us now with the reaction is attorney harmeet dhillon, who works in these types of cases, as long dominic well as troy waldron. harmeet, let's start with you. i think the regular folks watching this cannot believe their ears, where we have the authority to visit this compound, this guy -- the first police officer on the scene, said he had never seen conditions like this, it was so sad, so depraved, kids were starving, and of course, a body of a child's mind on the compound, as well. now four of the defendants have $20,000 bail set? what? >> it isn't even pale, laura.

it's worse than that, it's a $20,000 signature bond, meaning that if they don't show up for their court date, they have to promise to pay the government $20,000, which is obviously ridiculous. if you have somebody who is potentially going to be put away for life on terror charges, a $20,000 promised to pay is not a deterrent for them to flee or commit more crimes. this is as a result of new mexico's very liberal bail law, they did bail reform in 2016, and the chief justice of the dash one of the justices of thee additional conditions, so the fairly early stage, the prosecutors after show why "clear and convincing evidence" that the person is a flight risk or a danger to the community. let's review the evidence here. here, as you said, you have 11 children who are starving and being trained, according to prosecutors, to commit crimes including terror crimes, rapid charging of guns, and are being

abused. you have a dead child, you have numerous weapons, you have hundreds of feet of tunnel under this compound, and you have somebody who is being held on a kidnapping charge in another jurisdiction. so if this isn't clear and convincing evidence that, there's a flight risk, and b, there is a potential risk of the community, i don't know what it is. the judge went out of her way to say to the prosecutors, well, this seems like an unconventional lifestyle that you are describing here. but i don't really see the danger to the community. i mean, it's crazy. anybody watching this knows that it's nonsense. unconventional lifestyle, quote unquote, from the judge on monday. >> laura: troy, this is what the judge actually said when they were discussing this deal issue in court. let's watch. >> the state alleges there was a plan, but the state hasn't shown, to my satisfaction, what in fact that plan was. there is no reason for me to

believe that these defendants have proven themselves to be a danger to the community. >> laura: so troy, again, to nonlegal people out there, regular people watching ms. tonight, they see a situation where you have five adults, 11 children kept in depraved, abusive conditions, one dead child, and they have to sign on the dotted line that they will pay the $20,000 when they come back for their hearin hearing. how is this good for the community? >> laura, the judge here is just following the law. the eighth amendment of the united states constitution, which we don't get to talk a lot about outside of law school classrooms, is very clear. the government can't impose excessive bail. an excessive bail is anything

more than what is required to make sure that somebody comes to court. so the court here impose not only the $20,000 but electronic monitoring, they have to check in with her lawyers, and -- >> laura: once a week, troy. one time a week. we got a dead child, starving children, they would have been more dead children undoubtedly had authorities not arrived on the scene, and they don't have to fork over the 20 grand each, troy, correct? >> that's right. >> laura: only if they don't show up. do the defendants have to pay the money? >> not right now. >> laura: hello? thank you! i'm freaking out right now. i'm sorry, it's an outrage if they don't have to pay the mone money! four adults, five adults total, but four adults who treated children this way, showing up for the hearing, where they had tunnels under the compound! this judge is way off the rails! i know what your call but she's

way off the rails on this one! >> one of them has been taken into i.c.e. custody, the others being held on an out-of-state warrant, all the kids, thankfully, are in protective custody, and all the weapons have been taken, so there is no indication that they are a flight risk or that they are going to flee the jurisdiction. they weren't able to show in the court hearing that they won't show up for the court date. >> laura: troy is right that the prosecutor, according to the judge, harmeet, said, he didn't give me the clear and convincing evidence that these people at present pose a danger to the community, and the constitutional amendment in new mexico, part of the state constitution now, says, that is an option, you get to show clear and convincing evidence, and apparently, the prosecutors, according to the judge, didn't do this. this judge has a bit of a reputation. there was another case where people were up in arms because of a low bail set involving

another individual. we also his picture right here. another individual. another case of abuse, and the bail seemed low, $10,000, and people were not happy about that. but harmeet, troy's point, took the gun, took i guess, the ammunition, kids were safe, i guess, what is the big deal? >> yeah, what's the big deal, laura? they taught that in the law school, the things that speak for itself. you have a dead kid, terrorist training camp going on here, there is no threat to the public? i mean, that is ridiculous. the prosecutions included in their evidence to the judge a handwritten terrorist manifesto about what they wanted to do and of course, the prosecutor wasn't able to bring these children into court to testify themselves because, they are small children, b, they are probably in hospital recovering from this abuse. so this judge went on to make gratuitous comments.

she accused the prosecutors of playing on religious prejudice because the prosecutors mentioned at the core that these are muslim rituals that were being done that torture these children leading to the death of one of them, and the judge said, oh, i can't take their religion into consideration. no one was asking to take their religion into consideration, it's a specific criminals, and on top of that, yes, thank god, one of these people is an i.c.e. custody in one of the role will be handed over to georgia on child could child kidnapping charges. but if it were up to this judge, she granted very minimal conditions to all five of them, and that as an outrage and that is a repeated pattern by this judge. a democrat who came from san francisco, my hometown, unfortunately, that is where she came from. >> laura: susannah martin is but a statement on her facebook page. she says this as a result of liberal pretrial release rules put in place by the supreme court, judicial activism at its worst, something i've spoken about, time to put a stop to the revolving door in our justice system and keep dangerous criminals in jail

where they belong. troy, do you think because of the public outrage, this judge, could you reverse or decision? i'm not saying you want her to come up with koji? >> i think a judge, there is any change in circumstances, or if she was challenged on appeal, certainly could. look, i'm not saying that what these people are accused of is anything less than horrific. and if they are found guilty, they should be prosecuted for the full extent of the law. but the issue here is whether they should be given reasonable bail, and when people are given high bail, that tends to disproportionately hurt lower income people. while the people shouldn't be allowed to just get out on bail because they have more money. >> laura: oh, my gosh, . >> they are being charged zero bail. they are being charged a signature and that is the outrage. by the way, laura, this trend is going on all over the country. >> they are being electronically

monitored. >> all over the country this is happening. >> laura: let me tell you, a lot of the illegal immigrants have the bracelets on, the electronic monitoring bracelet, ankle bracelets, they cut them off. it's not like it to be all, and all. so what? it's no big deal. we want to have a longer conversation on another night with you guys about this bail reform issue, something a lot of people aren't really aware of. it's fascinating. you are both great advocates. thank you so much for joining us. i have a question. is al qaeda about to make a major comeback? it is new report from the u.n. finds the terror group showing the surprising levels of resilience. they are stronger than isis in places like somalia, yemen, and south asia. for more, we are drawn by counter terror veteran aaron cohen. i read this report, and i just read a report about what was happening in iraq and in afghanistan, specifically in afghanistan, where our forces

and afghan forces are losing some ground against the taliban, and now this. what do you know and what do we need to know as americans? >> well, first of all, usama bin laden's son, 29 years old, sees himself as sort of the next young gun on the street, he's publicly come out and taken over for his dead father and wants to rekindle the al qaeda brand, and as we know come both terrorism over the years in israel, this is a very large psychological war, run by fear, and what we are seeing here is rekindling of al qaeda 2.0, starting to resurface on a tactical level. i think that al qaeda has had a significant amount of time since

2011, since usama bin laden was killed, all of the p.r. and all other military operations have shifted to isis primarily in iraq and in syria, after president trump came into power, he was extremely aggressive by unleashing our forces, not just our special ops, but larger quantities of conventional light infantry, to really flush out those pockets. given al qaeda, laura, pretty significant amount of time to regroup. what i have understand, like with any other terror group thae have taken down in israel or have smashed in israel, what happens is, you have pieces of these organizations which smashes into hundreds, if not thousands of small pieces, and they are able to operate and they are going dark and that means that they are now operating in what i have called nomad terror, essentially, they can function independently from central leadership, any type of real organization, and they can go online and they can train and recruit on the dark web, carry

out attacks, not unlike we saw in london just the other day. >> laura: right. bingo. when you hear a story like you just heard in the united states with his new mexico compound, this bizarre scenario, the subjugation of children, and the seeming jihadist training of the children, going into schools, what does that tell you? >> well, the threat is real. what you have here is you have incubation happening here within this country, in this case, which is being handled -- it's kind of disturbing what is happening with this judge and this bail that has been set or whatever, the lax restrictions, have been set, the fact that they found essentially a terrorist training ground to train children how to commit acts of terror, which is kind of blowing my mind that this is being treated as the most harsh type of terror investigation and

soften it later. might come hard on this thing and back off if you find out that's not what it supposed to be. sounds like it's terror, sounds like it's inbred, sporadic nomad terror camp. it's very disturbing and it is something that i almost feel like we're going to see more of because it is that easy to set up. you have kids who are in hospitals being hidden and witness production. this is very real. i think it needs to be treated very real and i think hamza bin laden is very real and i think isis being taken down is also significant because al qaeda just went boom. all of it needs to be treated like terrorism. >> laura: aaron, before we let you go, is it avenging his father's death? is of the primary motivation do you think of hamza or is it just a larger ideological religious, you know, struggle against christianity in the western world? >> i think that's a good question. i think it's a combination of the two. i really do believe that it's a

combination of the bureaucracy, versus western democratic values, combined with the perfect incubator, which is a hamza bin laden. he just married i believe it was the daughter of mohammed atta, who flew a plane into one of the towers on 9/11 -- >> laura: talk about a nightmare marriage. oh, my gosh. >> nightmare marriage, here it is -- so i think that these terror networks are using hamza and his -- >> laura: celebrity. >> his spark to rekindle his. i think it is playing itself off. i think the cia and nsa need to watch this really, really closely. thank god president trump is around to get aggressive as needed. >> laura: aaron, thank you so much. we appreciate it. senator rand paul was one of the first voices calling for it and now john brennan security clearance has been revoked. so did senator paul convince president trump to do it? with either one?

the senator joins us exclusively next. if yor crohn's symptoms are holding you back, and your current treatment hasn't worked well enough, it may be time for a change. ask your doctor about entyvio, the only biologic developed and approved just for uc and crohn's. entyvio works at the site of inflammation in the gi tract and is clinically proven to help many patients achieve both symptom relief and remission. infusion and serious allergic reactions can happen

during or after treatment. entyvio may increase risk of infection, which can be serious. pml, a rare, serious, potentially fatal brain infection caused by a virus may be possible. this condition has not been reported with entyvio. tell your doctor if you have an infection, experience frequent infections or have flu-like symptoms or sores. liver problems can occur with entyvio. if your uc or crohn's treatment isn't working for you, ask your gastroenterologist about entyvio. entyvio. relief and remission within reach.

>> this is what dictators do. this is a dictatorial exercise of power that should frighten and call on all republicans to say, mr. president, you cannot do this. >> huge effect for national

security officials, the notion is unprecedented. >> it's a clear abuse of power and it's a mark of an authoritarian dictator, really, rather than a democratically elected president of the united states. >> laura: that's all very subtle, isn't it? kentucky senator rand paul made a bold suggestion to president trump late last month, stripped former cia director john brennan of his security clearance, along with many other former government officials acting responsibly. of course, president trump is now doing exactly that. is it fair to say that he deserves kudos? the senator joins is now the exclusive reaction and details on his trip to russia. senator, great to see you. you can back to some pretty powerful news. were you the first want to suggest this to the president and did you talk to him about this since you returned? >> i'm going to talk to him about it this weekend. the trip to russia and john brennan. i've been calling for a review

of the security clearances of a lot of folks, peter strzok and others, four months and months and months. i wrote a letter to the fbi director last january asking him what does he still have clearance. with john brennan, i think what the left is ignoring is that i think you should have found his clearance revoked for cause. he liked information that came out in the media, that we had a double agent in yemen, when we are going after the underwear bomber, there still is a bomb maker in yemen. he leaked that his media. two people, richard clarke, who had a security clearance, and he went on television, saying, not to worry, we have a double agent in yemen. the double agent was still there and deep at that agent's life at risk for a john brennan should have been fired for that alone. >> laura: this playing on the senate committee, dianne feinstein, you guys are looking into my staff computers, he denies it, take it the result of the -- from the documents, turns out they were totally spying. speak of is also a question of whether he liked it as intelligence committee when

he said he did not know who paid for the fake trump dossier. he said, i didn't know. there's two possibilities, he's either lying or he's incompetent, because that he's in charge of the cia, they are using this fake dossier and no one bothered to ask who paid for it. >> laura: he said he didn't know about it? kind of fuzzy prey to speak of the head of the cia doesn't know that this fake dossier was paid for by the clinton campaign, so that is either incompetent or he's lying, one of the two. >> laura: senator, he was pressed on this about brennan yesterday, about the security clearance, brennan was pressed on it yesterday, well, could it be that the president is answering to a third party, not of the american voters. let's watch. >> i don't know. he is the one who has to account for those previous actions and i don't know what he may be concerned about in terms of what might be divulged as part of this investigation.

i find his attitude and behavior toward vladimir putin and the russians very, very puzzling. i don't know what it is that is behind that. i certainly don't know all the things that mr. trump has been involved in over the years, and i do not pretend to have that knowledge. >> laura: today, all those "i don't knows," and "the new york times," he writes, "mr. trump's claims of no collusion are, in a word, hogwash" -- but he said that he doesn't know, and then claims of no collusion aren't hogwash. the man is unhinged. a bold statement. unhinged. >> you look at the guy who called the president treasonous. the commander in chief because treasonous and apparently, that would be advocating for the death penalty for the president but yet he still wants access to the nation's secret? crazy. >> laura: russia, you just came back from your trip to the former soviet union, you met with top government officials, both with the equivalent of their legislator, what can you tell the american people tonight

about the state of u.s.-russian relations under president trump? >> i think from both sides, our relations are the worst they have been since the height of the cold war. this is a real tragedy. one of the great things that ronald reagan did was sitting down with gorbachev. one of the highlights for me, i got to sit down for an hour with former president gorbachev and talk about his recollections with ronald reagan, but also talk about how both sides, both ronald reagan and gorbachev, had to defy the orthodoxy of their country to sit down and come to agreements. they didn't, you know, call each other names, they didn't say a murderous thug and talk about the terrible things, some of which did happen, there are a long period of time, they sat down and said, let's make it better. >> laura: are some of these government officials going to be coming to the united states? and are you extended an invitation with some thought of trump meeting with putin, i guess that's off the table. there's a lot on the table, off the table. i think people are very confused

about this. >> they have darker houses in our parliament, one called the federation, like i was at it, and then the lower body. they have both agreed to come to washington in the fall for further meetings. that is good thing. the downside is, the chairman of each of the committees is banned from coming to the united states because of sanctions. one of the things i'm going to ask the president, i will talk to the president's weekend, as i will say, why don't we take people off the list and that legislature. >> laura: at least temporarily. senator paul, we appreciate you coming in tonight and thank you for giving it the update on the trip. up next, airplane cleanups, emotional support, miniature horses? and the new straw you may not want to try. all that in a special edition of "thursday volleys" with raymond arroyo next.

who knows. it's a privilege to be an american system, citizen, a privilege to be a permanent resident, and in california, your state has been significantly altered in its workforce, some of it necessary for agriculture, but it's transformed over the years from left-wing leadership on this issue. >> they've gone beyond. they try to make this data sanctuary state, which i did not support. we are building a wall, building it in california, which we have been able to move within the federal government. what else they were protesting, one lady hold a sign, "we killed trump tax cuts" -- yes, she held the sign a. >> laura: [laughs] >> when you look at what is going on california, this is what the fear i have with november. they want to impeach the president, they want to abolish i.c.e., remember in california, what the state senate did, they passed single payer government run health care, where you could not get health care from your

employer. it would cost twice as much money of what california brings in and the revenue. this is what they call medicare for all front, government run health care, that will and medicare as we know it. >> laura: it's all free. they think everything is free, the money grows on trees, as my mother used to say, that is a new generation, that is why it is incumbent upon republicans -- i told the white house this -- i think the president needs to have a real presence in california. i think it is good that you are up there speaking. the protesters are going to come, i wouldn't worry about it. you get a lot of respect, congressman, you put yourself out there day in and day out in your district, and other congressmen and women should not be shrinking from doing town hall events. no way. go out and preach the gospel of economic growth, i think is good for all people. by the way, speaking of immigration, i got to ask you about this while the story from her home state. i think it was officials just arrested this guy, omar ameen, suspected isis member.

he's accused of killing an iraqi police officer in sacramento but he came to the united states as a refugee and he was able to apply for a green card! isn't this exactly why the president wanted an aggressive travel ban and aggressive betting? of course, we've heard that this constant refrain of -- , welcoma warning from the left braids because we know the root of his poisonous tree was his attempt to ban muslims. this will not make us safer. >> they are all muslim countries, the majority, and they are banned because of that. >> it serves no purpose, and in fact, i would argue, it is entirely negative in terms of national security. it potentially could cut off areas of intelligence that could help us protect ourselves from a violent extremism. >> laura: congressman, what can you tell us about this case? into our viewers are very concerned about this. >> they should be very concerned. contrast this, here i am yesterday, giving a speech supporting the president and our ability to protect his border, they are protesting me there,

and the federal government is arresting omar ameen, who came to the country, was a member of isis and al qaeda, he got approval to come to america but he didn't come directly here, he first went to iraq, killed the police officer, and three months later, comes to america. why does he come to california? because they advertise they want to be sanctuary states. he sitting in sacramento. the feds are able to arrest him, the fbi has been looking at him since i think 2016. this is why the president is correct. he was sitting there -- you should bet these people. he was just a refugee. that is why he was in turkey. he was part of isis. >> laura: congressman, he came in under obama. >> exactly. >> laura: has anyone followed up with former president obama and said, does this give you pause? the type of refugee program we had in place? i mean, this is one example -- all it takes is one person, congressman, who has a connection or a part of a network that is overseas, one person to carry out horrific carnage in this country, that is

all it takes. >> how much information did he pass back while he was sitting in america? the most damaging part here, he got approved to come to america because del michael before he came to america, he went and killed the officer in iraq and o america. >> laura: [laughs] it's a scandal -- >> under the obama administration. >> laura: the regular media, it is like a blip, then it's back to omarosa. congressman, thanks for the update on this. we really appreciate it. stay out there. thank you so much. by the way, the media are lambasting president trump now for dehumanizing omarosa. so what happens when a clinton family member says something far more outrageous? details after this. ♪ do you need the most trusted battery in your wireless mouse? maybe not. no... maybe you could trust that during your fantasy draft ...no, no, no. the computer won't auto-draft a kicker, in the 7th round.

maybe you can trust you won't be kept at night because you auto-drafted a kicker, in the 7th round. (woman laughing) maybe you could trust that for the next 16 weeks you won't think about auto-drafting a kicker, in the 7th round. or... ...you could just trust duracell. (duracell mnemonic)

>> that goes back to authoritarian dictators using animalistic slurs to dehumanizing groups of people. it's bigger that idea of dehumanizing opponent, a political opponent, or someone you disagree with, is rooted in very ugly history. he does it as a cattle call to his base, to say, hey, look what you are doing, i think these

people are less than, i am dehumanizing them. >> laura: the media are in a tizzy about the president's dehumanizing comments about omarosa but apparently crickets when influential democrats like the clintons when they make outrageously dehumanizing remarks. take a listen to child neglect supporting abortion on demand. >> this is not a disconnected fact that american women entering the labor force from 19722009 come out of three and a half trillion dollars to our economy. i mean, a net new entrants of women. that is not disconnected from the fact that roe vs. wade became the law of the land in january of 1973. >> laura: wow. wow, wow, while mike brey joined me now with reaction, fox news fox news contributor rachel campos duffy. let's start with you, ellen.

what i hear chelsea clinton speak about all the money that the economy has gotten because of, i guess, more than 44 million abortions in the united states, which is a staggering figure, since 1973, that waterproof economy. and to that i say, to monetize life, to me, it's pretty dehumanizing, to a lot of americans, and how much would 44 million americans, how much would they have added to the u.s. economy, let alone inventions they might have invented or breakthroughs in medicine -- i mean, every child gone as a loss, but for chelsea, it's a gain. so who is dehumanizing home here? >> listen, i don't think it's right to dehumanize anyone, however, i have to say that choice is toys and women have a choice in this country. that is what roe vs. wade is about, and -- >> laura: i know that. we're talking about her comments about how it adds to the

economy. monetizing a human being -- you know what else was good for the economy? the slave owners said slave-owning was good for the economy. >> it did dehumanize people but i have to say that why aren't men taking care of kids, if we had more equality, perhaps, as he would like, there would be less abortions, but there isn't equality in this country. >> laura: rachel campos duffy, chelsea clinton is pretty popular, she has a pretty high profile, and it's no secret she is pro-choice. i don't know, coming off the omarosa think about all like any of them being called a dog, i don't think the president should have gone there. that is kind of his lingo, new york lingo. i don't know, when i heard that, i was like, wow, that is what we are using to justify 44 million abortions. i thought they were supposed to be safe, legal, and rare. 44 million rare? >> no, absently not. and really enjoying this moment

of transparency in the democrat party. they are openly embracing socialism, they are telling the truth about abortion. remember, they said abortion is health care, their favorite euphemism for us, we now see the truth. it is about power, it is about profits, that is what abortion is about, and you made a really great point by the way in the very beginning, laura, when you talk about the number of women who are no longer -- you are prevented by entering the workforce because of roe vs. wade. those are 27 million women, by the way, mostly minorities, who are no longer in the workforce, not contributing to our country, aren't paying taxes, social security, aren't adventuring the cure to cancer, aren't running for president, and i actually appreciate your honesty and transparency about what abortion really is about. it's about a person. >> since when is abortion about profits? i've never heard -- >> the sale of baby body parts,

give me a break. there were congressional hearings about the profits being made, not just on the abortion itself but on the products of the abortion. >> laura: most of planned parenthood's revenue comes from 500 million from the government, and that is for health care, even though they don't do ultrasounds -- they do other things. >> they do a lot of health care. >> laura: they don't do ultrasounds, which a lot of people think i'm a heaven for bread you see what is in your room. it is about $500,000 on average, so half of their billion-dollar -- >> planned parenthood does health care for women! you can't dispute that! >> laura: there are community health care clinics around the country that did not do abortions but they do a great job. they make their money not from giving out the pill, they make their money, ellen, they make their money from the abortion procedure. >> they actually run separate health care clinics for women! and you can't dispute that. >> laura: that is where the $500 million from the

government -- the government has given them $500 million for years and years and years. that is supposed to go to the health care, which infuriates people because it is all money, they get money from the government, they get the 320,000 abortions committed at planned parenthood clinics, you do the math. >> there is a very strict line between abortion and health care, and that was done a long time ago. >> laura: final from rachel. >> i would just say, what she did was she put a value whether it was gdp or profits made at planned parenthood on the value of a human life. >> laura: monetizing life. >> perfectly clintonian ethic. the apple doesn't fall far from the tree. to be when we are out of time. we love having both of you. coming back, remembering what our greatest legend, the greatest ever, next. ♪ . around the yard. on the shelf...
