what else, come on, what other shows? >> sean: i love the concerts in vegas. and i love in-n-out burger. it's my favorite. >> laura: are you a little bit country or a little bit rock 'n roll? >> sean: all country. good grief. >> laura: i am laura ingraham on a busy night in washington. we have an exclusive big interview tonight. secretary of state mike pompeo sat down with me for an rare interview to discuss among other topics whether john kerry, obama's former secretary of state broke u.s. law by meddling in foreign policy. plus his first reaction to an undercover video where a state department employee suggests there is a resistance inside the administration. oh, goodie. and raymond arroyo is here with a seen and unseen i can actually say for the ages.

here it goes. what is roseanne's death and sexuality of muppets and jack black have in common? we'll find out. plus nancy pelosi and adam schiff employee a last-ditch effort to stall the president's order about the documents and texts regarding the russia investigation. what are they afraid is going to come out? we begin tonight with the latest on the fast developing brett kavanaugh fight. the calls began early this morning. the message for the kavanaugh resistance was clear. it began with an appearance by the ghost of's confirmation past. >> they wanted an fbi investigation before she testifies. is that the right move? should the senate honor her request? >> absolutely. it's the right move. the hearing questions need to have a frame. and the investigation is the best frame for that. >> the fbi is good at this. they do cold cases all the time.

they can, probably in a matter of days, figure out if there is corroboration for dr. ford's account. >> it would be helpful it judge kavanaugh would say i prefer an investigation by the fbi. >> laura: i think one of them is less intelligent than the rest. god bless them but we're going to get to that. amazing, though, how none of them want to examine the facts. we will do that. last night we are a former high level fbi agent tell us the fbi is trying to use kavanaugh has their political animal. and the fbi doesn't like that that much. if testimonials like that aren't enough, our john roberts reported today that a high placed law enforcement official said that there won't be an investigation into allegations against judge kavanaugh and here is why. there are no allegations of a

federal crime and the only investigation the fbi does is the background investigation. they find the info and pass on -- it on. that's already been done in this case. they don't investigate the information. the law enforcement source went on to tell fox news, quote, this is a political issue, not a law enforcement one. boy, is that true. it isn't just the politically inclined advancing this narrative, their media cheerleaders are piling on. one tweet this afternoon. a number of former prosecutors and fbi agents hate said today people who make up allegations tend not to demand that the fbi investigate them. he's of course not the only one advancing this narrative. but there is one problem with this contention. ford hasn't actually stated that she's willing to talk to the fbi.

she just wants kavanaugh investigated. think that might be an important fact or detail? late this afternoon, senator grassley at wits end over this charade submitted a letter which was scathing to the judiciary committee democrats slamming their persistent, quote, abuse of this confirmation process through delay and obstruction with every argument available. here to shred more -- not shred more, shed more light on this is the former assistant director of the fbi, bill gavin. you were called out which we will play in a moment. your reaction to where we stand with this drum beat, this incessant drum beat for fbi involvement? bill? >> laura, i am amazed at this whole thing. number 1, everybody is calling

for an investigation. an investigation of what? there is no predicate offense. an investigation if there was a rape or a sexual assault should have been done by local authorities and everybody knows that the statute of limitations has run on that now. that's number one. number two, background investigations. it's over. it's done. could the white house say open it up again? they could, but it's not going to happen. in this particular case, what could come from opening the background investigation again? we go out and interview who? number one, the alleged victim has been offered by senator feinstein where she produced a heavily redacted letter that hints at somebody that nobody knows what happened. number two, judge kavanaugh gave his point of view.

his friend alleged i have no knowledge of this and nor would i think judge kavanaugh would do anything like that. what they're trying to do is put the fbi in a no-win jackpot. it's a no-win situation for the bureau. they will say you didn't do your job. >> laura: but, someone from nbc took you to task on that analysis. i want to play it for you. and bill, get you to react on the other side. let's watch. >> my sources are presenting another view that the one that you just heard from bill gavin. the fbi could investigate this. not as a criminal matter but as part of their role background checking federal nominees. they can only do that if the white house asks them to look into this allegation. and if the white house did ask them to do that, they would be perfectly capable of shedding some light on this. >> laura: this is the rub. it's the president. it always goes back to president trump.

if president trump really cared about women and to protectwomen and cared about sexual assault allegations, he would demand that the fbi -- i guess, go back and, again, find every house with a pool in chevy chase, maryland or something and get these old georgetown prep kids to wrack their brains about a keg party 30 years ago. is there any validity to that point? >> no there is no validity at all. he said, you could dig up. who you are going to dig up? there is nobody who it tell you anything at this point in time. he said you could put them under oath. you don't put anybody under oath in a situation like this. you attain the facts and feed them to the white house and the congress and let them do what they want. you know, it just seems to me -- >> laura: this is political. >> it is. that's all it is. >> that's all they're trying to do is delay the vote and do it

any way they possibly can. i probably should not say that but that's the way i feel. >> laura: bill, it's the way a lot of americans feel tonight. thank you very much for being here. and in the american justice system, the burden of proof should be on the person leveling the accusation. in the case of brett kavanaugh his political opponents want it the other way. take this, for instance. late last night a second corroborating witness came forward with a letter to senator grassley's office. patrick j. smythe who attended georgetown prep with judge kavanaugh, he denied that the party she described ever happened. he further vouched for kavanaugh's character. this huge development received very little pick up in the more dominant mainstream press even by cnn who broke the story.

so, the question here is why? here with answers are greg -- a former chief nominations counsel to the senate judiciary committee along with gail trotter, an attorney and spokesman for the crisis network. greg, let's start with you. your reaction to the latest development. i'm sick of the word weaponize, but it's kind of weaponizing the fbi in a political calculation for the democrats. >> that appears to be what is happening here. it's painful for me to watch. there is a process there. it's confidential and keeps politics out and keeps the cameras away. and it gets to the bottom of allegations like this. it's designed to avoid politics and to get to the truth. the senate democrats chose to go another way to make it about politics that is unlikely to yield any truth.

>> laura: gail, senator christen gillibrand spoke out today with a lot of passion. let's watch. >> they are creating a false choice and trying to bully her into testifying on monday before a full fbi background check is completed. without the benefit of the fbi investigation and without corroborating witnesses to be able to testify, it's a sham hearing. i don't think she should participate in it. >> laura: shouldn't participate. sham hearing. a couple of days ago they asked for her to testify. she uses the phrase background check. which, again, is ms. ford applying for a federal job? you don't do a background check as part of this process. i can't believe she is a sitting u.s. senator. i can't believe she uses those phrases. a lack of knowledge about the process. >> it's legal illiteracy. i mean, when you talk about this, judge kavanaugh has

already passed six of these fbi investigations. there were hearings about this. and you look at what's happened with the accuser this week. her lawyers went to the "washington post" to tell the story. then they said they would let her testify. then less than 36 hours passed and they said she wasn't going to. senator grassley should be commended. and said we will fly to california and do something public. we'll do something private. we'll do whatever she wants to do because we want her to get her story out there. they want to take her seriously. i think the fact is this is a partisan smear and attempt to delay. it's falling apart. >> laura: a senator who was vocal on this spoke out as well. let's watch. >> the latest being a letter from the chairman to the democrats saying we have done everything we can to contact her. that is such [ bleep ], i can't hardly stand it. >> laura: according to senator's grassley office they made several attempts to contact her

lawyer and phone calls. i think a total of nine different attempts of communication, 11, total, now. they have been trying. they can't even agree on whether grassley's people were trying to get in touch with her. i mean, they know grassley's number too, if she wanted to testify. >> the democrats and staff refused to participate in the investigative efforts that are going on right now. they are not taking part in the interviews of judge kavanaugh about these allegations. they're boycotting everything. to take the position that the republicans are not taking the allegations seriously, it's the democrats that sat on the allegations for weeks and now the democrats are obstructing any effort for them to look into it. >> laura: and gail made this point. senator grassley and president trump said we want to hear from her today. i thought that was good. i would like to get this done. he said take as much time as you need.

he seemed to be going even farther than grassley did. like a dr. seuss thing, we'll interview on the phone or in person or private, a conference call, whatever. i don't know what else they can do at this point. >> chairman grassley has been incredibly accommodating and patient in the face of histrionics and antics from the other side. he's one of the senators who is most well known for his commitment to investigations and oversight. he has a team on the committee that is experienced in doing these things. he is trying to do his job which i can't say to be true for everybody else. >> laura: the other so-called witness, this patrick smythe, he says as far as he knows he has never seen any behavior like this on brett kavanaugh's part. every person she cites they are opposing her view. this case is falling apart.

>> and i think you have to take the overwhelming amount of evidence that anyone who knows judge kavanaugh and there are so many people who do, none of them believe this is a credible allegation. >> laura: what happens friday? >> i don't know. we'll see day-to-day. i think people on the committee still want to hear from -- >> laura: she has a friday deadline. we're going to vote. >> hold the vote. >> laura: i'd do the vote on friday. you have to end the game. you have to teach your kids a less son some time and the senators playing this game a lesson. thanks to both of you. we have seen how this is playing out in the halls of congress. how are the voters processing this. we bring in frank lund. from the people you are talking to, how will this kavanaugh circus play out in the mid-terms? >> based on what that conversation just held i

question whether this will be significant 10 days from now. because it does look like she isn't going to testify. the american people believe in fairness and believe everyone deserves their day in court. they want to hear what she has to say. she levelled some very strong allegations. but i'll tell you that one of the big questions among the men i talked to is how far back are you going to hold someone accountable for the behavior that they did. is what someone did when they were 17, is that applicable to someone's life in their 50s? for women, the question is, is she going to get her day in court? is she going to respond to those that support her and oppose her. >> laura: on my radio -- i kind of do an informal poll on the radio in the morning. it's interesting to hear from men and women. this is from across the country, every state. they don't like the whole high

school thing. going back to high school, going back this many years. memories, foggy. people, moved on. unless there was a reputation that was known by everybody, oh, yeah that guy. i heard about -- people didn't like it. people don't like it. i think that word "fairness" that you just used, i got to tell you, that just cuts right to it. you can't lob these allegations and expect you're not going to get these questions because people are being mean to you online. people are mean to you online. welcome to the nfl. >> you have to be willing to respond. that's why the democrats used anita hill. they realized within 24 hours this story was turning. that people were starting to wo wonder, why are you backing off? you make a claim and you don't back it up at that hearing. they bring out anita hill and that conversation. what you could have is what

happened to donald trump in 2016. you want a majority of white women. everyone thought because of what happened during the campaign, he would crater. one of the reasons why he didn't is because they thought he said what he meant and meant what he said. it doesn't mean they liked his language. in this situation you may see women angry that they are be used and pulled into a political process they want no part of. make no mistake, laura, s authentici authenticity is important in 2018 and this doesn't seem authentic right now. >> laura: thanks. up next a big exclusive. secretary of state mike pompeo joins me in a rare interview taking on john kerry's attempts to undermine president trump on the iran issue and his thoughts on google kowtowing to the chinese communists. you do not want to miss this. up next.

you're still here? we're voya! we stay with you to and through retirement. i get that voya is with me through retirement, i'm just surprised it means in my kitchen. so, that means no breakfast? voya. helping you to and through retirement.

i'm ready to crush ap english. i'm ready to do what no one on my block has done before. forget that. what no one in the world has done before. all i need access, tools, connections. high-speed connections. is the world ready for me? through internet essentials, comcast has connected more than six-million low-income people to low-cost, high-speed internet at home. i'm trying to do some homework here. so they're ready for anything. >> laura: trump said of his secretary of state, we >> laura: trump said of his secretary of state, we are always on the same wave length. as you will see in my interview with mike pompeo, that's apparent. we begin our conversation today discussing iran and his predecessor john kerry's wildly destructive communications with the world's largest state sponsor of terror. here's part one of my interview

with secretary of state mike pompeo. mr. secretary, thanks for joining us tonight. really, really appreciate it. iran in the news. brian hook, your special envoy, saying we want to deal with iran, but a treaty with iran? the iranian leader said no. what is going on? >> president trump has been clear since he ran for office the arrangement the previous administration that was put in place was bad for american and frankly bad for the world. i and brian are working to get iran to behave like a normal nation. stop being the world's largest sponsor of terror. stop launching missiles and stop attacking our embassies. when we get those things in place, president trump has made it clear, we would love to have iran to join the commune of nations. if they do, we'll get it right. >> laura: you and john kerry have gone back and forth on

this. former secretary of state, barack obama met four times with iranian leadership. you criticized saying that's not appropriate. you can't have two-track foreign policy here. he responded by saying there is nothing unusual our unseemly about former diplomats meeting with former counter parts. secretary of state kissinger did it for decades with russia and china. what is unseemingly is for the podium to be hijacked for political means. >> secretary kerry can't get off the stage. when i am the former secretary i will get off. it's one thing to meet with the counter parts, it's another thing to do what secretary john kerry, wendy sherman, frankly, the whole gang, has done, which is to actively seek to undermine what president trump is trying to achieve. it's okay to talk with them, but you have to be working for america, working for american foreign policy. they are not. they are working for the foreign

policy that is theirs and not the one that belongs to the united states. >> laura: dana perino had kerry on and he did not deny that he basically wanted to tell the iranians to wait it out for the next administration. >> i think everybody in the world is sitting around talking about waiting out president trump. >> laura: at what point does the administration pursue some type of legal action against former secretary kerry and others from the former administration? >> i'll leave the legal action to others. i am trying to execute american's foreign policy. they are not only unhelpful but acting in ways that are harmful. to achieving what's best for the american people. that's my criticism. stop it and let it go. you had your day. we think you got it wrong with iran and we are trying to make it right for america. >> laura: reducing the refugee number, that's caused great consternation. it's another issue that president trump campaigned on.

extreme vetting. security for our country. down to 30,000 next fiscal year. bob, a big fan of the administration called it cruel and shortsighted human rights first. another group, abdication of our humanity. your response? >> american is the most generous nation in the history of civilization. it always has been and continues to be under president trump. we want to get it right for the american people. we've taken in over 4 million legal permanent residents in the last almost two decades now. we continue to take in more people than most countries in the rest of the world. we have to get the security piece right and make sure we allow those who are in most trouble, most harm's way to be taken care of in the best place to take care of them near their own country. those are not heartless things. those are things that are kind and caring and decent. it's the way to treat fellow human being and what we in the trump administration are committed to do.

>> laura: many of the christian refugees feel abandoned in syria and iraq and beyond. they can't go to these camps because they're afraid of going to these camps. how do we reach them? how do we get them in the country? >> it's an important and difficult challenge. we want to bring in all those who are most in trouble and are having the most difficulty in the places in which they reside. vice-president pence made this a priority to ensure that christians are treated fairly in and equitably in our processes. we've seen some of these issues in these camps. the state department is working to make sure that christians are not mistreated or persecuted or treated in any way that is unfair trying to make their way into the united states of the america. >> laura: the u.s. commission on international religious freedom lists china and saudi arabia, one and saudi arabia number three the worst violators of

human rights. i think of president reagan. we didn't do the heavy trade with the soviet union because of not just nukes but because what they are doing on human rights. how do we justify this huge trading relationship with saudi arabia and china given how they treat people? it's a selective decision. >> it's always the case when you are trying to advocate for american interest, you have to weigh the concerns. it's the case each country presents its own situation. what i think we've been incredibly consistent on is making sure we identify, we call out these concerns. i've done it with respect to china. i've done it with respect to every place we find religious minorities being mistreated. people from nearly every religion and 80 delegations, this administration is taking religious freedom all around the

world in china and other places very seriously. >> laura: a million muslims in china detained. christian churches smashed and churches driven underground, pastors being imprisoned. and president she -- it's heart breaking to many of us who care about religious liberty. what leverage do we have with china other than just trade. >> we will talk about china in the other context. there are a myriad of opportunities but a lot of challenges. this is a non-transparent government. it is still a very centralized government. it treats our intellectual properties hourably. -- horribly. it treats its religious minorities horribly. we have an opportunity. you have seen what the president is doing with trade to make it fair and reciprocal. what we ask with china behave in a way if they want to be a power on the global stage, they have to operate way the global

leaders have for so often and frankly in the religious dimension they have not done that. >> laura: we talked about the relationship between big tech and this administration. whether it's adversary yal. but google, specifically in china, assisting google in developing an app to furtherer is censor free expression and the ability of the chinese citizens to get information. any thoughts on that. a huge u.s. company assists china? >> it's professionally and personally troubling to me. when american companies deal one way here and another way dealing with china. it's the core problem that president trump is trying to address. which is that china doesn't permit american investors to invest on the same terms that chinese companies can invest here, joint ventures. the list is long of nonreciprocal relationships.

when we get that right, when government gets that right we can force american companies to behave under that set of rules. i want every company to treat american citizens as well as they treat the governments in some of these despotic regimes. >> laura: they hit the administration. president trump. a couple of days after the election. brilliant guy, brilliant people, but criticizing this administration's immigration policy when they are assisting despotic communist regimes overseas. but trump's a threat? >> i think american foreign policy is on the right track. when we get it right, when we ultimately see the end result of president trump's efforts, i think you will see many of these things in a place that america's not seen before. >> laura: later secretary of state pompeo will provide exclusive reaction to a new undercover video of a state department employee hinting at a

resistance inside the department. and next, raymond arroyo is here. roseanne is about to die, and horribly on tv, at least. and the hidden sex lives of the muppets? a wild seen and unseen. stay there. he's a genius. she's also a genius. and so are they. because they all went to lendgenius.com to find the loan they needed. our intelligent technology makes connecting with a lender fast and free. get a lender decision in minutes and - with approval - receive your money in as little as one business day. lend genius is the genius way to get money for debt consolidation, vacations, paying off bills or home improvement. be a genius. find a loan with lendgenius.com.

>> laura: seen and unseen. where we explore big culture stories of the day. how will roseanne meet her demise? when her formerly autonomous show is rebooted. why did sesame street put out a statement about burt and ernie's sexuality? how are we going to answer these questions? we are joined by the fox news contributor raymond arroyo.

what is going on? >> well, on sesame street brought to you by the letter s for sexualization. a writer who wrote for sesame street from 1984 to 1998 did an interview this week with queerity and said this. we will put it up on the screen: he said, i always felt that without a huge agenda when i was writing burt and ernie, they were gay. i didn't have any other way to conceptualize them. and more than one person referred to arnie and i, his lover, as burt and ernie. he claims they are gay. this has been talked about since 1969 when these 2 characters who were roommates on sesame street. >> laura: i thought they were puppets. >> well, frank oz tweeted out, he created owe da and miss piggy and fozzie bear, he tweeted out almost instantaneously.

it seems that mr. saltzman was asked if they were gay. it's fine that he feels they are. they are not of course. why that question? does it matter. why the need to define people as only gay? he said i created bert. i know what and who he is. this is a real important thing. why does this matter. why are we sexualizing the beloved children's characters. and we see this with harry potter. i've seen it with pooh and piglet. children's characters should be sacrosanct. when you try to politicize them and it tells us something about our culture where we want to be adolescents forever and take these childhood icons and impose our hangups on them. >> laura: so what is eyeore? just kidding.

what's the next topic? >> roseanne. he still debates on how the abc reboot of her show, when the show returns in a few weeks. there will be sad news for fans. watch. >> what's going to happen to roseanne conner? >> what will happen to roseanne? >> oh, they killed her. >> they killed her? >> yes. they had her die of an opioid overdose. it wasn't enough to just do what they did to me. they had to so cruelly insult the people who loved that family and that show. >> she is obviously impugning the motives here and saying abc wants to hurt not only her and the character she created but the audience. she is dying of an opioid over dose. we she was taking pills for a knee injury.

but now she's an opioid junky? >> laura: they are killing their ratings. >> that's the question. they will kill roseanne off this way. my feeling is this show will die of roseanne deprivation. >> laura: and jack black? what is he up to? >> received a star on hollywood's walk of fame. i know you had the dvr ready. he was moved and grateful and political. watch. >> i love you all so much except for donald trump a piece of [bleep]. peace out and love you. >> laura: go eat another cheeseburger. >> he is promoting the motive "the house with clocks in its walls." he has rocks in his head. it's a children's book. jack black does a lot of kids programming. his own children were there. why would you taint this moment when you're being honored and if you really despise this

president and why invoke him and use this profanity. >> laura: this is all we have. what i was watching this afternoon? i was watching johnny carson's interview with 1975 -- [laughter] -- >> contemporary. you're right on top of things. >> laura: with ronald reagan. everyone has to watch this. i will put it on my facebook page. it is so interesting. late night television was classy and funny. reagan was unbelievable. carson was cool. and it's not nasty. it wasn't nasty. it was interesting. >> he had charm. they were great. >> laura: but reagan. nothing touches that today. and they all get up there and say expletive. we all say expletives.

>> if you want to convince people, you are a celebrity. it doesn't work. i am with you. give me johnny any time. >> laura: i'm doing owe da and you're doing johnny, this is only wednesday. the left is obsessed with learning every detail about stormy daniels' love life. with issues of the time they don't care. the declassification next. less, but i'm relentless too. mbc doesn't take a day off, and neither will i. and i treat my mbc with new everyday verzenio- the only one of its kind that can be taken every day. in fact, verzenio is a cdk4 & 6 inhibitor for postmenopausal women with hr+, her2- mbc, approved, with hormonal therapy, as an everyday treatment for a relentless disease. verzenio + an ai is proven to help women have significantly more time without disease progression, and more than half of women saw their tumors shrink vs an ai.

>> laura: the left >> laura: the left is wide eyed and salivating over every salacious detail of stormy daniels' love life. but when it comes to issues here in washington like the surveillance of american citizens, they don't have much interest. take trump's declassification of russian related documents. nancy pelosi and adam schiff are calling to block the declassification. is 11th hour instruction the new calling card of the democratic party? joining us from florida a former secret service agent and in the studio matt slap. i know you're not surprised be this. this is now just so transparent. they are great actors are worried about what is in the document. >> you know what is comical about this, i'm trying not to laugh, even the left can't make up their mind about what they

want. when the nunes letter exposed and exposed this spygate, russiagate scandal for what it was, do you remember what the democrats said? no, the real information we used to target donald trump is in the redacted material. when the redacted fisa came out and they used the dossier. what did the democrats say again? no, no, no. it's the next time, it's the redactions that contain the really devastating material about trump. let's release it. and when they got wind of what is in the redactions, they get, wait, wait, wait, time-out, throw the red flag on the field here. we don't want to see the redactions any more. >> laura: that's a threat to national security. eric your favorite was out there on cnn today making this point. >> this is quite lawless of the president to selectively declassify. he's only putting forward to the american people what he believes

helps him completely and recklessly risking sources and methods who could be put at risk and have their lives at risk. >> laura: he is so smart. sources and methods like out of james bond. >> do you know what selectively means? that the president, the commander in chief, is going to make responsible decisions about the information that does get out and is made public and the information that doesn't. i am glad he will do that. you talk about the liberals on the hill that are raising objections about national security? i have journalists. saying this is reckless. when is the last time magazines and newspapers talked about how reckless it was for them to get information from the government. they will print anything. >> laura: anonymously. that's a great point. so now there's an aggressive lack of curiosity on the part of the american media. don't give us more information. we don't want to know. hands over the eyes. see no evil and write no evil.

speak no evil, hear no evil. this is transparent. seamless coordination between the democrats and the dinosaur media. >> this reminds me of this billy madison line. i award you no points. we are all dumber for having this investigation. "the new york times" outed ha halper, they outed the source. they didn't use his name but gave you every identifier outside of his officials and home address so everyone knew who he was. are we in bizarre row superman land? are we living in seinfeld where me does everything backwards. >> laura: i will ask mike pompeo about this undercover video at the state department. but there is another video that's been released involving the doj and another that's going

to be released tomorrow. let's watch this first one. >> what are they doing, to fight against trump? >> yeah, a lot of them talk about it. many are vaguely involved and support candidates and fundraisers. and a lot of talk about -- and there's a lot of -- >> laura: matt, hard to read that script. but we talk about how we can resist from the inside and there was a lot of push back. it's lucky because at the doj you can't be fired. i am offended by the valley girl speak of some of the taxpayer's paid salary. what do you make of this? >> anybody who worked in a republican administration realizes what the real swamp is. the real swamp republicans win the presidency but the agencies are populated by people in maryland, northern virginia and d.c. who are overwhelmingly democratic. and getting a handle on these

agencies with your own agenda like the trump agenda is damn near impossible. trump has done so many things. if he could actually fire people who are breaking the law by overturning the will of the voters on the agenda, that would revolution america. >> laura: we haven't independently verified the project veritas video but the doj is taking it very seriously, as is the state department. we have an active, young, resistance inside our government. in the civil service and they're very bold, frankly brazen, and stupid about how they talk about their political affiliations and activity on taxpayer time. >> this is personal. i was a secret service agent. i loved my job. i had no personal problem with president obama but i felt the country was moving in the wrong direction. i thought it was inappropriate to stay. i left.

i would not take the taxpayer dollars anymore. i ran for office but it didn't work out. i'm not look for a pat on the back. if you have a serious problem with the will of the people -- matt is right. they are not resisting trump. the american people voted for trump. they are collecting your money to do it. stop being cowards and resign. you have the first amendment right to go out and be an activist. >> laura: thank you very much. next up, part two of my interview with secretary of state mike pompeo what does he think of that shocking undercover video where an employee in his own department talks about a resistance in the trump administration? his answer is next. are you ready to take your wifi to the next level?

>> laura: first the anonymous >> laura: first the anonymous "new york times" letter and now an were undercover video at an employee at the state department is seen at hinting at a resistance against the trump administration. in part two of my exclusive interview with secretary of state mike pompeo, we get his reaction to that and much more. watch. russia versus china. a lot of focus on russia because of election meddling, threats to future election meddling, ukraine, threats to europe and trade and so forth. as you see things who is the

bigger threat to the u.s. position in the world? russia or china? >> i get asked these prioritization questions and it always makes me a little bit queasy to answer them. they present such different concerns. to rank them, i think sometimes sends the wrong message to the american people. russia has been aggressive. russia has tried to meddle in our election. russians under vladimir putin remains a bully. we need to push back and constrain them where we can. but longer term, if you are look at the things that threaten american livelihoodance put america truly at risk, china presents a far greater threat to the united states. >> laura: there was concern from the foreign policy elites early on in this administration that the trump team bumbled through the events. they promise a lot and the dlish

dlis deliverables are not there. they cite north korea and they are not denuclearizing at the pace we thought they would. but what is our real status with europe and the north korea leadership given how things transpired? >> i'll start with north korea. we have made steady, albeit, slow progress. but it's always -- we've always known this was going to take some time. the south korean had a successful engagement in the last 48 hours where we made another step and we will get verification of an element of north korea's program. on the ground that's a good thing. the relationship between president trump and chairman kim is good. i talk with my counterpart with some frequently. it doesn't get reported. i'm glad we can keep that quiet. we're making the progress we need. with respect to europe there,

was a reset that needed to take place in the relationship. we needed europe to step forward and begin to share the burden of defense for the european countries in a way that they had not done under previous presidents. president trump is trying to right that ship. we have an important relationship with europe and i'm confident it will always remain. >> laura: project veritas released a video of a state department analyst working for the democratic socialists of america and typing things after hours and it's a concern, a doj employee similarly part of the resistance. does this poor tend problems of an internal resistance to this administration? are you concerned about it? and what next about the investigation of this particular employee? >> i can want speak about the particular case but rest assured

of it we are taking a good look at it. but step back a minute. here's my commitment to president trump and the american people. every single person working at the united states department of state will be on president trump's mission. we all have good ideas and share our best thoughts but we have a single foreign policy that we're executing and it's the one that president trump is directing. and i want everyone to understand that he's our leader and -- >> laura: they shouldn't be in the -- if they are going to work against the administration they should find another job, don't you thuink. >> absolutely. if you can't sign up for the mission, find somewhere else to spend your time. >> laura: you miss the cia? >> i loved my time at the cria and i love my time here as well. >> laura: thank you for being so

generous with your time. how many other cabinet positions will mr. pompeo end up serving. up next, a tasty last bite.

>> laura: time for the last >> laura: it's time for the last bite. i don't even have a thing. it's raymond's birthday in an hour and a half. this is the last bite.

>> i was hear to comment on something -- >> laura: raymond, you're 40 years old. >> it's awful being 39. >> laura: what are you 49? >> i ruined your dress. is it a happy birthday. >> laura: shannon bream, you get -- >> we'll be awaiting our > we'll be awaiting our shannon: we are waiting our piece of cake. happy birthday, raymond, thank you. raising the stakes for the democrats, the republican-controlled judiciary committee setting a friday deadline for an answer whether she will testify. a democrat running for senate seat in a swing state says the vote should go forward even afford doesn't appear under oath. we will hear from the senate judiciary committee on what is next in the president's personal attorney is here live.
