cruz, that is happening this saturday. we'll have more details to come. we will always be fair and balanced, let not your heart be troubled. the news continue,s why? because there she is in the watch, in the sewer. >> laura: every time you say there she is, then you go right to "in the swamp." that is just not -- that is not a ringing endorsement. >> sean: that's where you are. that's the swamp. >> laura: you're not exactly in the gutter there in new york. give me the breakout here. are you having a barbecue? i'm coming on this trip. >> sean: you're going to join me on the program, i hear, tomorrow. >> laura: yes. >> sean: you bring your best game. >> laura: this is not even -- i'll come with both hands tied behind my back. no problem. i will save it for tomorrow. it sounds like limbaugh, didn't mean to do that.

>> sean: with half my brain tide behind my back. rush will be here thursday. >> laura: great show as always. this is "the ingraham angle." can you believe it? 21 days until the midterm election. we have a lot of ground to cover. the american voter, you've got a lot to consider. there is so much on the line. the largest caravan in a decade approaches our southern border. the president's response and mine are ahead. plus the new tactics of the left might not be so new. 1968? well former speaker newt gingrich on the parallels between that fateful year for the democratic party and what is happening today. we will have a new series for you tonight, the hidden scandal, how the media's coverage of certain democratic candidates really amounts to a cover-up. and tonight, our nanl sis analy

texas candidate. you want to stick around for that. victor davis hanson is also here. but first, the midterm border brush and possible electoral crush. that is the focus of tonight's angle. as our capable competitors are devoted hours of coverage today to the president's tweet about stormy daniels, voters, i think, are just tuning them out. why? because the voters are smarter than the media thinks they are, as usual. americans outside the leftist activist bubble are focusing on issues that actually affect their daily lives. pocketbook issues. like the stock market jumped 500 points today. tech stocks are way up. that's good for your 401(k). the labor department reported that there are 7 million job openings currently in the united states. our industrial output is surging, all fantastic news. but americans also see some trouble on the horizon as well. lawlessness at the border, no advanced society should tolerate.

now we have another mass of people, as many as 4,000, i'm told, another so-called migrant caravan making its way from honduras to the united states. and president trump has had just about enough. >> we have the dumbest immigration laws in the world. the world laughs at us, but we are getting them changed. we need some more republicans. we need some votes. >> laura: i'll say. for many years voters have been telling politicians, enforce the border and close immigration loopholes. in fact, even on the issue of legalism graduation and a lot of people don't know this, the country is not clamoring for big increases. check this out. only 28% of americans want immigration levels increased. 29% of americans want them decreased. the plurality, as you see, want them to remain the same. of course most politicians continue to just ignore the wishes of the people, so what they do is continue to expand

things like distant relative chain migration. they refuse to allocate money to the building of the entire wall at the southern border. and they refuse to pass legislation to allow for immediate border turnbacks of anyone crossing the border illegally. and of course, democrats are against all tightening of the current ridiculous rules for asylum. donald trump won the presidency in large part because he wouldn't accept the status quo on immigration. and as usual, he was five steps ahead of most every republican congressman on the issue. in july, gallup found that americans identified immigration as the top issue for them going into the mid-terms. last month it was the second most important issue tied with just general economic problems. democrats thought that a focus on the difficult issue of child

separation, a practice that the administration has now ended, that that would turn out voters and get democrats and latino voters really excited to get out there. i don't think it is working for them. remember back in 2016, the latino voter turnout did not increase. despite trump's push for the wall and a lot of stronger immigration enforcement. of course hispanic americans are themselves disproportionately affected by the impact of illegal immigration, and their neighborhoods and their communities. ditto for black americans. the good news is that as the second caravan drama unfolds, it turns out that some establishment republicans are waking up to the wisdom of trump. >> it makes the immigration debate more on trump's terms. there is no right to come to america. we can have rules of who comes. and where's mexico? mexico needs to help us. last time i checked you just can't walk from guatemala to

here without going through mexico. >> laura: oh, yes, the president warned the president of honduras, if the large caravan heads into the u.s. and does not stop and brought back to honduras he's going to cut off foreign aid. vice president pence has warned them about honduras, guatemala and el salvador to tell their people do not make the dangerous trek to america. saying the u.s. will not tolerate this blatant disregard for our border and sovereignty. by the way, honduras is on track to receive $65.7 million in foreign aid from the u.s. in the upcoming fiscal year, 2019. back to the midterms. as frustrated as so many of us are with the republicans and what they failed to do at the border, well the cause may be totally lost if the open border democrats take the house. while the president is focused on important things like abolishing the illegal immigrant gang ms-13, democrats want to abolish i.c.e.

>> we need to rebuild our immigration system from top to bottom. starting by replacing i.c.e with something that reflects our morality. >> we can replace it and we can replace it with a humane agency that is directed towards safe passage. >> what do you mean -- >> laura: safe passage? everybody come on in. they are not alone of course. there are a lot more like them that believe the same thing. again, the choice could not be clearer for the mid-term voters. there so much on the line for america. will trump get the funding for his wall? will the mass migration of other other poor countries in central america be stopped at all, every? will travesty such as birthright citizenship finally be ended? will we mandate everify to penalize businesses who game the system to keep american wages low? of this my friends you can be

sure, your views on immigration will have zero impact and zero influence on a house dominated by democrats who want to replace you, the american voters, with newly amnestied citizens and an ever-increasing number of chain migrants. if republicans choose to unite behind the presidents in the way they just did in the kavanaugh fight, this will stoke voter enthusiasm even further ahead of the all-too-important mid-term elections. that is the angle. joining us now with reaction, mark is the director of the senate for immigration studies, tom homan the former acting director of i.c.e, he is the strategist and former dnc deputy press secretary. fellas, a moment ago the president anticipating "the angle" i'm sure pretty tweeted about this very issue saying "we inform the country of honduras, guatemala and el salvador that if they allow their citizens or others to journey through their borders, up to the united states with the intention of entering

our country illegally, all payments made to them will stop. in other words, end. tom homan, you have the most experience in this issue. is the president right here in this approach? >> yes, i think he needs to throw down the gauntlet. we give these countries a lot of aid. but i think that the other issue that the president needs to be aware of is the remittances run into the billions of dollars. they get billions of dollars from their citizens who are in this country illegally. that amounts to billions. when it comes to this caravan as i said last night, the president needs to work with mexico and mexico needs to stop them at their southern border, not issue them transit visas and turn them around at their southern borders. so they don't get to the united states. >> laura: jose, it is not a lot compared to what we give to other countries but it is not chump change, either. i'll put up the graphic. 2017 we gave them 144 million, 2018, 50 million, guatemala,

they're trying to stop the caravan from coming through, and it hasn't worked. 2017, 229 million, national disaster, 76 million. 2019, $69 million projected. what about our sovereign right to protect our borders from what amounts to an organized effort to crush or rush the border right before the mid-term elections? >> first and foremost, let me just say that it makes no sense for the president of the united states to threaten honduras and say i am not going to give you this money if you let these people go through guatemala and mexico. it makes no sense. less money for central america? what will happen will be more crime. the caravans will just get bigger. it makes no sense. i don't think the president thought this through. this happens every day with his tweets. he should stop tweeting altogether. but to your point, laura, these people under international law

and under u.s. law have the legality to go to our borders and seek asylum. they can do this. they should do this because as we know every single year, a percentage of those people can actually stay in this country. these are people who are fleeing horrible conditions. >> laura: how many other countries exist on the earth where people would like to flee generally a corrupt government? in honduras and guatemala they've had corruption throughout the entire region for so many years. that really is the standard and that seems with the standard is today, de facto, then we better prepare. this is going to be a wholesale migration from venezuela where we have seen 2 million people flee. ultimately they can get from venezuela up to central america, up to mexico and the united states. and you would be okay with that? >> they should have a right to do so. let me be clear, i'm not for open borders, i don't think every single migrant who crosses the border should have the

legality to do that. they should have the right to at least be heard. >> laura: we don't have the facilities to at least hear people, millions of people. if that is the standard. mark kerkorian, we are compassionate country we help people in need all across the globe. on cnn today, this reporter who was covering the migration, she is very pro-migrant. but nevertheless, she made this point, following on what jose said. >> many of the programs that this money pays for, those programs are to try to prevent violence. to try to help people with poverty. if that aid is taken away the people who run those programs will tell you that you will likely see more immigration. you will likely see larger numbers at the u.s. border. >> laura: mark? >> there are plenty of ways we can put pressure on these countries. really, what is the point of being a superpower if you can't

try to get a tiny little country in your backyard to do what you want? honestly, the most important target of this kind of pressure is actually not central american countries, it is mexico. they are all passing through mexico. mexico is the much more functional state. it is wealthier, its government works better which is why mexico really is responding, i think, to the pressure. i just saw the way over here they are sending large numbers of federal police down to mexico southern mexico to stop these people from getting over. that is the key before they ever get here. >> laura: our relationship with mexico with the upcoming president is actually going to improve. the deal with the new nafta, oust/mexican/canadian trade agreement, it's a good start. i don't think they want to muck that up. tom homan, this is right up your alley. august 2017, the border arrests

between the ports of industente the month of august, 2018, 37,544. these are people crossing. that is a 68% increase. from year to year and a month. >> why would they stop? we have a judge saying you can't separate. we cant detain more than 20 days. the families that were separated we can't deport. recan't detain enough of them because congress has not funded i.c.e. properly. to get back to my friend here, as far as they have the right to claim asylum, people leave honduras have to pass through guatemala and mexico. they are no longer in fear of persecution in country. this isn't about escaping fear and persecution. they can make an asylum claim in mexico. this is about getting to the united states. they're taking advantage. of the low threshold in the

system. 80%, that is just a fact. >> laura: under obama they were turned back 80%. >> how would they know? how would they know? if they don't get to the border and they get to be heard. how would they know? >> again, they pass through two other countries before they get to the united states. many claim asylum in mexico. to escape fear of persecution -- >> laura: not an international law, it does not count as a country where you can claim asylum. i know that is a fact and that mexico might want to change that. but mexico is a place where you're allowed -- and they have accepted asylum requests by some of the migrants, not that many. i want to talk about who is funding the caravan. there is a question, in the honduran foreign ministry, there is corruption everywhere there. they've identified today, a foreign ministry spokesman cited political sectors as culpable. unidentified political influences, someone is funding

these caravans. there is no way that these people who are the poorest of the poor can afford what is it, 4 to 7,000 bucks for migrant per crossings. with the cartels you have to pay, the human traffickers are involved. who is paying for this? somebody is paying for this? or they are selling themselves or their family members into some kind of slavery if there's some period of time to pay for this. doesn't that raise some questions? >> i think we need to educate american people on this. by not controlling our borders. by not controlling this caravan. this caravan comes across, all the loopholes that congress has will be released. it will entice more people do come. but if the money. we are bankrolling the exact organizations that smuggle these people. the same organizations that smuggle guns, drugs and the kill people. so this -- >> laura: congress has to act. congress has got to act! the president is doing as much as he can here. he puts the migrants lives in danger, its children's lives in danger. it helps the cartels become more

and more powerful. jose, i want to play this for you. this is a honduran immigrant and a member of the caravan. this is in spanish but you can read the sub titles about why he is moving with this mass of fellow hondurans. let's watch. [ speaking foreign language ]. >> laura: i understand that. pretty much a lot of people want to come to the united states. but he's not citing a credible fear of persecution. he just wants to come to america because probably a lot of his family members are already there. friends say come here and i'll get you a job. that is not an asylum. >> i agree with you 100%. we should do a better job as a government to communicate to

other countries, it is not easy to get asylum. you can come and you can try but most folks are not going to get it. >> laura: you can't stop asylum requests at the ports of enter. it makes it more dangerous and they have to make the 1,000-mile trek. when not to apply from their home country. >> they don't have that luxury. >> you are saying that they are not going to have asylum and most of them even under obama, 80% were denied. the point is they are already in the united states. they have been working maybe for several years already while their cases are going on. when they are finally denied in the end, they just don't show up. nobody is looking for them. the whole point. >> laura: they get here and then it is a get out of honduras or guatemala free card. they know they will be able to stay. >> less than 5% of the cases have been removed. the gentleman there, the reason he didn't use that is because he hasn't been coached by the

criminal organizations in mexico. once he gets to mexico, he will be trained on what to say to pass that first test. >> laura: everyone says the exact same line. everyone is saying the exact same lines. my friends, thank you so much. for more on why trump won and how the g.o.p. can do it again, grab a copy of my new paperback. "busting the barricades" what i saw at the populist revolt from reagan to trump. now in bookstores everywhere. up next, newt gingrich here in the studio to explain how closely today's democratic party might resemble what we saw from some of them in the late 1960s. stay there. ending late 1960s. stay there.

[ upbeat music ] 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: 21 days until the midterms and democrats look to be selling, something new like 1968 all over again. the more you see the visuals, the lack of any tangible

policy prescriptions the more you start to realize they are embracing the same theme. victim culture, mobs versus jobs, stripping away law and order. hatred for the president and so on and so on. here with his thoughts on this, the massive humanity crushing our border, former speaker of the house, newt gingrich. he is the author of "the new york times" best seller, "trumps america." mr. speaker, it's so great to have you in studio. we know -- i know you want to talk about what we just talked about first. so i want to let you hit that. i think this immigration issue is not the most important issue facing the country today in the eyes of the voters and the economy, it is one of the top two or three. and donald trump has always been ahead of everyone else on this issue and now we have another scene of lawlessness coming up through mexico and honduras. >> first of all, kevin mccarthy has offered the best bill in committee to bring up in

december to do whatever it takes to strengthen the border. i will make one key point about all this. this is insanity. no country -- imagine it was your home and people down the street said, you know, i like your home and i want to come and claim i need refuge. 6,000 people show up and say, i hope you'll take care of me. it is crazy. we are to adopt a policy that says for the mexicans, nobody is crossing the border. if you don't want to stop them coming in from honduras, they are going to be in mexico. i would do whatever it takes to control the border. period, end of story. >> laura: congress has to act. they have to change the asylum laws. i'm glad mccarthy has come along to the gospel here. >> if you actually control the border, they don't enter u.s. space. >> laura: they can walk through a port of entry and claim asylum. under current law. we have to change that whole process. >> i'm for changing that. i'm saying the ports of entry of necessary, if mexico won't cooperate in stopping these people it will be amazingly

difficult for anything to get through the ports of entry. >> laura: that would get their attention pretty quick. >> about three days. >> laura: you will agree this is a big issue and a big opportunity for the republicans. >> it is the fate of the united states. gallup did a world survey. 165 million people would like to come to the u.s. you couldn't possibly absorb that. even left-wing cuckoos can't believe that. >> laura: americans don't want a gall gallup poll on that. 1968. one of our mutual friends, we're talking the other day, one of the great guys in radio. he said, do you see some of the parallels going on here? it looks that they a move right from 1972, it would nominate a far left guy, of course george mcgovern in 1972 but before that it was a build up of lawlessness and bile and hatred. >> i was with him last weekend in des moines. >> laura: fun. and craig shirley also.

>> the hard left, which is now much of the left is committed to believing they have the right to bullying, to attack you, to trash you. antifa has said publicly which is a hard left group, they intend to destroy offices if they feel like it. in portland people are being harassed while the police stood there watching. people need to understand, the left today, the democrats today stand for breaking up the whole process. abraham lincoln said it brilliantly, "you will rule or you will ruin." talking to southern slave owners. the modern american left resembles those southern owners and their commitment to rule or ruin. that's why you see them scratching at the supreme court door. >> laura: favorite image of the year. >> the closest they get to the supreme court seat is scratching at the door. that's my goal. >> laura: [laughs]

this is a moment for republicans united behind the kavanaugh confirmation and look what happened. the country was motivated and excited. this isn't fair. we wish all the best of all these women but it is not fair. basic principle of fairness. >> i had a woman come up to me last night who said she had been a democrat. she was 75 years old. she had switched parties after kavanaugh. and every member of her family in four states had switched. she was disgusted that this is no longer the party of john f. kennedy. >> laura: again, we have a situation where america and a midterm cycle, usually you see the party in power lose seats. there have been a few occasions on which that did not happen. when was that? >> didn't happen 1934, it didn't happen 1998, didn't happen in 2002. i think this year we're going to gain seats in the senate for sure. and i think the way things are developing right now because of kavanaugh and because people are

disgusted by the democratic party and a little frightened by it, i think we might actually shock them. >> laura: on one their undercover videos, this involved claire mccaskill and a staffer talking about whether she is really open-minded on certain issues. let's watch. >> you think she is more progressive than she lets on. >> yes. >> i think so, too. i think she's a lot more open-minded to, like, alternatives routes to things. she can't be open about that. >> why not? >> it will completely isolate her to the moderate republicans. >> it's like have to lie to get elected. >> essentially. essentially. >> they do have to lie to get elected, that is why he is lying in tennessee, that is why a mccaskill is lying.

that's why sinema is lying. it's why donnelly is lying. it is a simple test that every american can apply. are you going to vote for chuck schumer? if you are going to vote for chuck schumer, you're a liberal, period. end of story. people in west virginia ought to, vote for mcconnell. >> laura: and manchin voted for obamacare which was a disaster. >> all these folks back home, think about the person you thought he was in washington and i didn't mean to do it. please elect me again. they just have to say straight out, if you are voting for schumer you're a left winger and putting left wingers in power. therefore i have to vote against you. >> laura: unseated west virginia seat, that's a tight race.

and the commonwealth of virginia, you can't choose a democrat here. that's going to take your state backwards. you want to go forward. dave brat and so many people like him are supporting trump, this is why the economy is growing. >> the choice of jobs or mobs is real. let's be clear. we have the lowest black unemployment in history and the lowest latino unemployment in history. the lowest number of unfilled jobs in history. the economy is growing. the fact is, the democrats promised to throw all that away based on their socialist ideology. >> laura: and the left still thinks that devoting hours of coverage to michael avenatti and stormy daniels and the president sent a tweet out, which i don't think he should have done. they think the voters are going to turn out because of a tweet. they still don't get it. >> they don't get it. people ought to look at the stuff and say to yourself, do you want a party that has been delivering results for the last two years or a party dedicated to resistance? that is what the choices.

the average american is going to look at what is happening and i think they're going to conclude that in fact republicans have a doing a pretty darn good job in the democrats are frankly kind of scary. >> laura: results versus resistance, newt gingrich, we love having you. thank you so much. the democrats are sure that hillary clinton could lead them to victory, the coalition of women that included white women, but when that didn't happen, they became the new enemy. we reveal the examples, next. t. ♪

♪ >> laura: >> laura: when 52% of them voted for trump on election day, the left found a new target to deride. white women. an odd voting block to alienate the head of the midterm elections. don't you think? the last couple of weeks they've been called white privileged apologists. "new york times" opinion piece noted that they will defend their privilege to the death.

following the kavanaugh votes, susan collins and others supported the basic principle of due process were called the race apologists. who can forget earlier this year would hillary clinton claimed white married women only voted for trump because of their husbands. >> we don't do well with married white women. part of that is an identification with the republican party. an ongoing pressure to vote the way that your husband, your boss, your son, whoever believes you should. >> laura: joining me now to react, rachel campos along with speaker and activist gentlemjam

bey. is it wise to alienate a voting block that is pretty big? white women? some of the things that are being said it is like a whole voting block stigmatized based on their race. i thought we were supposed to get away from that. >> clearly. we are supposed to get away from that. i don't think it is a issue of stigmatizing and entire voting block. it is looking at people who don't vote in line with what the particular group we're talking about. so if we're talking about the left which is a multitude of people who just, you know, are left of center, there are a lot of opinions. there's a lot of diversity in there. they are talking about the white women who voted for donald trump. they're not talking about all white women. >> laura: white women can't vote for a conservative? i mean -- >> every american should have the right to vote for whoever he or she. >> laura: i agree with you. michelle bernard who is a -- >> she's great. >> laura: she made an interesting if not controversial point on a.m. joy. let's watch.

>> i do not see any reason for democrats to believe that after the brett kavanaugh hearings we are going to see a flood of white women, particularly republican red state senators come out and vote for democrats. whatever's going to happen in this midterm election, it is going to be because of the vote of black women and other women of color. >> laura: rachel campos-duffy, your reaction to that? >> i think this whole thing, everything we've seen over the last three weeks. brett kavanaugh, kanye west, the total meltdown by the left about that. the lawsuit in harvard between the asian-americans who are suing over affirmative action at harvard and even senator warren with her, you know, clinging to the idea that she still is this hoax, that she is native american. what we're all seeing is the death throes of identity politics. it is finally reaching the ends of its game. it is becoming so ridiculous to

tell people because they are women or because they are black or because they are asian or white how they should think and how they should vote. people are rejecting this. frankly i think it is why they voted for donald trump in 2016 because as crazy and as some people might think i'm untraditional he ran his campaign. they felt this was the last hope to try to break this down. i think it's starting to break down. and i think that's why you saw what you saw this whole week especially with kanye. and now you see they're going after white women and telling them they are traitors of their gender. it's ridiculous. >> laura: hear something, i want to read this. this is from "the new york times," the headline is "white women, come get your people." october 6th. this is part of it. white women benefit from patriarchy by trading on their whiteness to monopolize resources from useful gain. it seems that white women are expected to support the

patriarchy, marrying within their racial group, reproducing whiteness and minimizing violence against their own bodies. white women who voted for trump did so to prop up their whiteness. i have got to say, that is one of the wildest things. i read a lot of wild things. i don't know anyone who thinks that way and i don't know any women who are smart, working at home or working out of the home who vote because of their husbands or think about a patriarchy monopolizing their thoughts. you seem a smart person, how is that not really condescending to women? >> let's be real aside from the carville marriage, most people marry people who think similarly. >> laura: so what? >> why do assume that the women are following the men? i know families where the men agree with the women.

>> what i am saying is it is not a hard point to make that like marries like. you tend to marry somebody you think like. if that's the argument that was made in "the new york times" piece. >> laura: the obsession with the whiteness. >> there's a lot in there. >> laura: the obsession with race is not breaking through i don't think, a lot of people just want a better life. they don't want an obsession is with how the other day with stacy abrams were she said, i represent black, white, disabled, differently abled. pacific islander and then it was, the undocumented and documented. everything is too hyphenated. and everything's too segmented. i think people want to be more unified, more hopeful about being together as americans like we were after 9/11. like what's wrong with that? >> i don't think we need a terrorist attack on american soil before we recognize that. >> laura: i'm just saying we had a bond. >> we don't have to go back.

>> but we can find that in other ways. >> laura: we could find five major things that we agree and about kids and conservation, about how to treat animals. you know, i think there's a lot of stuff we agree on. and rachel campos-duffy, i think, though, president trump has to be careful. the women's vote is sensitive. tonality matters to women. the tone does matter. i don't think the horse face thing was smart, i have to say. that wasn't my cup of tea. >> it was grotesque and unnecessary. that said, we need to get away from talking about gender and skin color and who is more oppressed. we need to talk about ideas. we don't need to go back to 9/11. what we need to do is go back to what mlk said, we need to be about the content of our character and not the color of our skin. that is the american people want.

i think that they are voting that way and they are responding because they are tired. they're just exhausted from identity politics. >> laura: i think we have to end on that unfortunately. what a fantastic conversation. thank you so much. and the news cycle, by the way, has, in many ways, you could say, been breaking toward trump lately. richard davis hanson is here to explain why that is. plus his reaction to the suggestion that somehow trump is to blame for the saudi journalist being killed? stay there. touch shows how we really feel. but does psoriasis ever get in the way? embrace the chance of 100% clear skin with taltz, the first and only treatment of its kind offering people with moderate to severe psoriasis a chance at 100% clear skin. with taltz, up to 90% of people quickly saw a significant improvement of their psoriasis plaques. don't use if you're allergic to taltz. before starting, you should be checked for tuberculosis. taltz may increase risk of infections and lower your ability to fight them.

tactics and the calls instability show they care more about promoting anger than solving problems. kick them when they are down. joining us now to discuss, victor davis hanson at the hoover institution. it is great to have you with us. what do you make of the recent political calculations we have seen from the democrats? many of them of course with 2020 ambitions. >> it is almost like -- they're wolves in wolves clothing. i thought they would at least try to disguise their empathy and politics before the midterms. but your past segment about why this and white this and white supremacy and white women. this is a time after the 2016 elections you should be appealing to the white working class if you want to admit those states and yet they're not doing that. we said during the kavanaugh hearings, why not protect american due process. when we get done with that

circus it was as if the democrats wanted to be on the side of the french revolution. when we had all these demonstrations, antifa and scratching on the supreme court doors, you would think that somebody in the party would speak up against that. instead you correlates with what cory booker said, even hillary clinton. it was almost as if these people were seen as the paramilitary wing of the democratic party. the height of silliness, why would elizabeth warren come out when you have this high profile trial of suit by asian americans against harvard in the same city and then proclaim she is maybe 1% at best and all along was a genuine minority. she should have apologized and it's all topped off by this caravan and what are the democrats going to do? are they going to say let the men because they have a right for refugee appeal?

everybody knows in their right mind you can't have a nation when people storm across the southern border by intent and are empowered. >> laura: it's a huge plus for the republicans. the president is so far ahead of everybody else on this issue of immigration. all the other politician, he sees it and he knows it's a problem. he wants to fix it. he is very frustrated with congress. as he should be. i also want to talk about foreign policy. that's really your forte in many ways. this khashoggi murder at the consulate in turkey, the saudi consulate. there are actually liberals blaming this on somehow -- somehow on the chaotic foreign policy of president trump and he addressed the general issue tonight with trish regin. let's watch. >> you will start here and, what is happening? we are all looking at it. turkey and saudi arabia are looking at it very strongly. it depends whether or not the king or the crown prince knew

about it, in my opinion. number one, what happened but whether or not they knew about it. if they knew about it, that would be bad. >> laura: i don't think most american voters, aside from the barbarity of the american voters, this is not -- this isn't the issue that motivates them election time. it is extremely complicated. >> yes, to paraphrase winston churchill about the soviet union, it's a riddle wrapped in enanything ma wrapped in a mystery. when you go into an embassy, you expect that to a sanctuary, and we are living in 2008, not the medieval period. that is stunning and shocking. on the other hand, mr. khashoggi was a u.s. resident, there was a lot of drama to this. on the other hand, a lot of our shock has been -- we're not

shocked by what saudi arabia has done, it's embedded in our relationship with saudi arabia. that said, what we're worried about this in geostrategic terms. we've had in alignment with the gulf monarchy, and confront the existential threat of a nuclear iran. people in syria. we don't want to jeopardize that new alignment. and yet we don't want to condone it and i think trump is trying to square that circle. it's very difficult to do. >> laura: it is a balancing act. the president is trying to do it, it is not easy. the idea that he can be blamed. richard hoss is like, at some point an amoral foreign policy becomes an immoral foreign policy. it has reached such a point. you won't even bother with that. the consulate foreign relations is not speaking for most americans. thank you so much, we appreciate it. coming up next we have a new series, "hidden scandal," revealing what the networks will

laura: a new segment, hidden scandal, what the media are not telling you about certain candidates. with the midterm elections just three weeks away the media are picking teams. one of their favorite players this cycle is beto o'rourke. the democrat challenging ted cruz for the senate seat in texas. glowing profile over profile fawning all over the new star leftist before he even won a primary. february 19th "the new york times" essentially dubbed him the lone star long shot. "time magazine" in may said he is on a long, hard road.

where they described o'rourke as handsome and charismatic. in august, meet the men democrats help with the next obama. going on to ask, is the man who could save the world from trump? finally "vanity fair" said, calling him kennediesque. as it turns out, beto, is more kennediesque than we thought. what those features failed to fully examine was his dwi. the details of which were much worse than previously reported. the news of the details that were finally revealed in a august 31st houston are on couple pierce. beto had this to say when confronted at this incident during a debate. >> i did not try to leave the scene of the accident though driving drunk, which i did, it is a terrible mistake for which there is no excuse or justification or defense. i will not try to provide any.

>> laura: but beto's answer here directly contradicts the police report obtained by the "houston chronicle" and in it a witness report says that he was driving drunk at high rate of speed and then lost control and hit a truck, sending his car careening across the median into a an oncoming lanes. the witness who stopped at the scene, told police that he had tried to drive away from the accident. the medias puff pieces on him have scarcely mentioned a 20-year-old dwi, down playing the incident if it is even mentioned it at all. what's more, the press surprised itself on accountability has shown little interest in calling out the lie. all right, we'll be right back. last bite is coming up. the only fda-approved 3-in-1 copd treatment. ♪ trelegy. the power of 1-2-3 ♪ trelegy 1-2-3 trelegy with trelegy and the power of 1-2-3, i'm breathing better.
