rage that facts don't matter, they just want to burn it all down. and that's not good for our country. >> sean: great to be at your town hall, thank you so much for having us. >> thank you. >> sean: between the outcome the mob and of course a dual justice system and open borders, sanctuary states, a lot at stake in 15 days. let not your heart be troubled. laura ingraham, how are you? >> laura: nice job in texas. you look like you have your boots on when you were down there. >> sean: i didn't hear you, what did you say? >> laura: did you have your boots on? >> sean: of course i have my boots on. i had a pair of boots made for me many years ago that has the american flag and the flag of texas. no state income tax. we are dumb. were paying a fortune. can we just move fox to texas or florida? let's wait until after the election. >> laura: that sounds good. texas sounds good to me. i'm ready if you're ready. no problem. >> sean: i want a little baby ranch, a couple of animals and

take care of them. >> laura: okay. so you will be moving into an agrarian lifestyle. i would pay to see that. give me a break. great show tonight, awesome. >> sean: people will be happy. >> laura: have a good night. >> sean: have a great show. >> laura: i'm laura ingraham, this is "the ingraham angle" from washington on a very big he busy news night, the migrant caravan growing in size by the hour. at one mexican the number at a whopping 14,000 tonight. we are going to get exclusive reaction from the very people who defend our border throughout this hour. plus, president trump just wrapped a lively rally, raucous rally really in support of ted cruz. we sent our own raymond arroyo to speak with the attendees, a lot of them lined up outside for hours. you do not want to miss what they say about this traveling band of, well, asylum-seekers. in another story we are following tonight, senator cory booker facing this strange sexual assault

allegation, but it comes from an anonymous twitter user who writes a long letter. we examine how believe everyone could seriously backfire on the democrats. but first, mobile mob highlight democrats tone deafness as trump, the closer, electrifies on the stump. that's the focus of tonight's angle. just as in 2016, there is no politician in america today who has a better read on with the voters want than donald trump. >> what does the president understand that other politicians don't? >> he understands the people. >> we are small business owners and i think he gets that. he helps out the small people. >> he's doing what he said he was going to do, so that's why hispanics, we need to support him. >> laura: tonight in houston at a rally for ted cruz president trump had a massive crowd. local reports say that 18,000

packed the venue with thousands more stuck outside. we are not just talking about excited rally attendees. the new data from nbc news out today may provide a strong indication that the democrats' hope of a blue wave may be receding. republican voters are outpacing democrats in early voting in seven key states. arizona, florida, georgia, indiana, montana, tennessee, and texas. democrats are leading in that area only in nevada. and this is one of the presidents polls numbers are. his overall approval rating is as high as it's ever been. today's msnbc show should have been renamed in morning joe. >> think about that. nearly half of the people in this country approve of the job this man is doing, even after charlottesville, humiliation in helsinki. bowing to kim jong un, ripping

babies from their mothers calling hispanics breeders, destroying america's most critical alliances and bankrupting our country and we could go on. >> laura: lions and tigers and bears, oh my. she ran out of breath there. at the facial expressions and the demeanor looks a lot like, i don't know, election night. >> i would submit that the acceptance of a deeply, deeply, deeply dishonest president, the acceptance of that among people is the single most important issue of our day. >> laura: once again from the cushy confines of their manhattan studios, they don't understand the obvious. people across the country vote their pocketbooks and they may just choose results over resistance. republicans are trouncing democrats by 15 points in the margin for handling the economy. >> the top issue is the economy. 38% of voters say that's their top issue and republicans in

this bowl are winning on that issue by the largest margin i think it said in the history of the nbc wall street paul. but in this poll, republicans win among those on the question of who's going to bring about change to washington, which is a very strange dynamic for a midterm election like this. >> laura: and as raymond arroyo will explain later, the big issue on the voters mind today in texas was immigration, specifically the so-called caravan. here's the merriam-webster definition of the work caravan. it's a noun. you could have it as an adjective, a company of travelers on a journey through a desert or hostile region. also, a train of pack animals. secondary, a group of vehicles traveling together as in a file. a covered wagon or motor vehicle equipped as traveling living quarters. it doesn't really work, does it, for what we are seeing here. the word caravan colloquially can note something kind of fun,

festive, desirable. other descriptions come to mind among americans and legal immigrants watching this all play out. >> i'm a disabled veteran. i have to live in poverty and yet these people can come walking across our border and they are welcomed with open arms and they are taken care of and it's just a shame. >> i'm a legal immigrant and i support our president and i'm against illegal immigration. liberals just want these migrants to come here for votes. >> i'm an african-american conservative. african-american conservatives are super against illegal immigrants. these jobs that african-americans used to do are taken over by illegal immigrants and we left president trump. >> laura: that's a pretty diverse group there. and sometimes the reporters actually let the truth slip out. >> hundreds of mexican federal police bearing shields and armor, but just as the migrants approached, the officers pulled back setting up, again, 3 miles down the road and again

retreating for the second time. mexican immigration officials pleading with them to register for asylum, but most kept walking. >> laura: most walk right by, it's called wanton lawbreaking. true refugees fleeing oppression will camp wherever they can away from their place of origin, which is dangerous. in other words, they would stay in mexico. on friday, mexico began registering hundreds of migrants, but most just burst past the barrier creates in flagrant violation of the law. mexican police were also badly injured. legitimate seekers of asylum, they must live incredible fear of government oppression based on religious, racial or ethnic identity. from country violence and government corruption, as terrible as they are and whether it's in central america or anywhere else, are not sufficient bases for asylum, nor is the desire just to get a better job or live a better lif

life. lest we are in the states be willing to welcome in hundreds of millions of people from across the globe, all on the u.s. taxpayer. so who are these migrants? according to a mexican newspaper, it's 14,000, the number, up from the initial 1600 just last week. they are mostly working age males. a far smaller number of women and children, usually see them out in front. many have friends and/or family already in the united states, many of those illegal. of course they are impoverished with little to no english speaking skills at all. they are from honduras, guatemala and many from mexico. others we don't know where they are from and it's undetermined how many have documents at all. how many have health problems or even criminal records. the president today told reporters to do some digging instead of just the easy sob story reporting. >> do know what you should do?

go into the middle of the caravan, take your cameras and search. okay? search. take your camera, joe dell might go into the middle and search. they were going to find ms-13, you will find middle eastern, you will find everything, and guess what? we are not allowing them in our country. >> laura: one thing is clear, they know that there is protection in numbers, that if they flood the zone, they will be able to overwhelm border patrol officials as they did in guatemala and in mexico. >> the migrants -- si se puede, they change. yes we can. >> laura: does that sound familiar? if it does it's because back in 2008, the candidate actually stole that slogan from amnesty activists. it's no wonder the mobile mob feels emboldened after vowing

not to allow them through mexico, mexico, its police force is actually now providing an escort to the migrant caravan, if you can believe that. does this sound like or look like something that most americans think is a good idea? it doesn't matter where people come from, whether they come from central america, europe, any part of the world, if they come in illegally guess what? most americans think it's not fair and donald trump knows this. when he says he wants to stop this mobile mob, a lot of people -- most americans see it is not just an economic burden, and it is one, but a flagrant flouting of the rule of law as well. national security issues, health issues, and like cavanaugh, it does come down to a basic sense of fairness. not only would allowing this crush of people into our country be an insult to the millions of americans who went through the

legal process, how is it fair to those americans who need assistance today and are not getting it? like the 40,000 homeless veterans on the street on any given night. trunk knows that the answer is the following. america first, and that's the angle. joining us to discuss is a border patrol agent and president of the border patrol union in tucson and nunez is the executive director of the central american resource center. i want to start with you. in a perfect world, what do you think america should do with the 14,000 people? >> how are you? >> laura: will go to him first. >> i do think that currently we have existing laws that can address the issue at the border. these immigrants right now are in mexico, they are not at the southern border and we already have a legal structurese that he valid cases can be seen at those that don't will be returned

back. we currently do that and i think we should allow our system, our rule of law to continue. >> laura: near and dear to my heart you are because you are from el salvador, i spent time in my early 20s and have a lot of friends there. your family is originally from there. the problem is we have 700,000 cases pending now. people who have applied for asylum, are supposed to appear before immigration judges. we have 40,000 homeless veterans on our streets right now, every night in the united states. what do you say to the american people out there who have given an enormous amount of money to central america over the years, welcomed any people legally like yourself into the united states and her family. what do you say to those people who say it's an economic burden for our country, we cannot help the entire world because we have corrupt governments elsewhere. >> i think what we bring to the table and what immigrants have brought to the table to this nation is to make it strong and i do think that there is a historical context that we need

to also remember, that this nation has had a lot to do with the current conditions in those countries of origin. the fact that there corrupt governments in no short measure has been done by this government. they are supporting the current governments of the region. >> laura: i didn't have anything to do with it, neither did trump. neither did the people in public schools today who are dealing with overcrowded classrooms where teachers are trying to deal with kids, northern virginia, 15 different languages. with all due respect to the historical context, we got to deal with today and the limited resources that the united states has. cnn is calling this -- this is just fearmongering, this is not a problem. read what he said, we have the system to process these people. many of them he believes and others they have legitimate reasons for asylum. how would you respond? >> first and foremost, thank you for having me on. these individuals are not immigrants, these are people that are invading our country.

my family, my ancestors are immigrants. these people are trying to enter the united states by force. you've seen the way, the pictures, you've seen the video. when you are kicking down gates to get into a country, when you are entering illegally, when you're trying to avoid inspection and also when you are waiting the flag of the country that supposedly has you so oppressed, how was that something that's beneficial for the united states? it isn't. these individuals, i've said it before many times, there is a humongous difference between knocking on my front door or kicking my front door and forcing entry into my home. and when you see the amount of individuals that are doing at this time, it's nothing else but an invasion by individuals into our country and it needs to stop and we need to do the right measures to go out there and stop it. when he started with the immigration issues and there's laws, what happens is these individuals will step on u.s. soil, they will check the records and once we see there is

nothing of a bad record within the united states -- keep in mind we can't check the record in the country they are coming from. what happens is they are giving an immigration date which they don't plan on showing up to because statistics show that less than 2% actually show up to these dates. and then they are free to be within the united states with no checks whatsoever. this is a humongous problem, these are not immigrants entering our country. these are individuals that are invading our country and something needs to be done about it. >> laura: there is mostly able-bodied men, adult age workingmen in this group. if there are women and children but the lion's share our adult age men. >> we can agree to disagree on that point. i have other information. >> laura: looking at the crowd, you can eyeball it just as easily as i can eyeball it. how do you respond to people who would say fight for your country. you are the honduran flag. you saw the flag, they have them

on the bridges, they had them when they were walking. fight for your own country. relieving your country. you are an able-bodied man. that's what we did for our country. we founded our republic against all odds, the united states, we came out on top. we cast off oppression in our young republic. why won't these young able-bodied men, not the women and children but the able-bodied men do the same? >> i think we need to also put another thing in context. at the number of people that are coming historically is at an all-time low at the border. this is not a new sort of influ influx. >> laura: this is not true. we have 38% increase of family units crossing the border just this summer. >> overall, all the numbers are down. >> laura: from mexico. central america is emptying out into this country. >> exactly. central america, guatemala, honduras are emptying out and the idea that this is a migration of a signed lease and refugees, help me out, is this all at once everybody is

oppressed? >> no. if one person in the united states was helping organize this -- a guy who's been arrested within the migrant group. >> the truth of the matter is that for the month of august in the month of september of this last year our numbers have risen more than they were as in the years i believe. so the numbers have not been historically low. they are going back up and a lot of the reasons they are going back up is because catch and release is still going on, the cartels know it. it's never stopped. >> laura: would got to go but you almost can't blame the people who are doing this. you almost can't blame the people -- except for the ones who are entering police officers. i blame them a lot. they are smashing them in the face. >> come xp when they are violating the immigration laws. they are about to violate our laws and they don't show up at their hearings. there are a lot of desperate people out there but they are all around the world and there are hundreds and hundreds and millions of them. we don't have the processes to

take them all in. but i love having you on. we are going to talk more about this with craig surely because if you haven't noticed, the mainstream media are acting more like a p.r. firm for this caravan more than actual reporters. and it's got me thinking, but we ever seen a moment like this in our country's history or something like this would not just be accepted, but endorsed? joining us now to react is quite surely, reagan biographer, presidential historian. what in the world what our founding fathers think of what they are seeing today? obviously the young republic, different world, different time, but this is wild. >> it's a great question. when they were crafting the bill of rights and they came up with the first amendment, it's all basically personal rights, the rate of speech, assembly, worship, things like that and kind of oddly jammed in there was the right of a free press. but the framers and the founders saw the broadsheets -- by the way, they hated them at the

time. they hated the broadsheets. jefferson and franklin and washington all wrote about how they hated the newspapers of the era, the broadsheets and the pamphleteers, but they saw them as a valuable ally of the people against the government. and it worked for basically 200 years. lincoln imprisoned newspaper editors who criticized his conduct during the civil war. roosevelt complained about them. john kennedy banned the new york herald tribune because he didn't like its republican editorial policy but they were basically fulfilling their constitutional obligation, which was to be against the government. now you have a situation where they are aligning in a far different manner than they are basically arguing against the rule of law and against for whatever you want to call it, but they are not behaving the way they were constitutionally mandated to do so. >> laura: they are actually taking up the cause of

individuals who just suddenly went from -- they suddenly went from 1600 to 14,000 because, again, everyone was oppressed at the same time. it's just the most ludicrous thing and it's being run out of this group, and other groups that are encouraging this and are working with other elements in the honduran government, honduran opposition, excuse me. and it's all being stoked for a reason. a part of it politics, and part of it they know they can all overwhelm the system and donald trump can try to do what he can. these people are going to be coming in saying i have a claim for asylum, then what you do? really quick. >> these are basically the jacobins of the french revolution now in the 21st century version. they are the stormtroopers of the deconstructionists who want to trip over the rule of law. you have to ask yourself what are they arguing for? to them want freedom, they arty have freedom. to them what justice? we arty have justice. if it's something far deeper and

darker that they are pushing for, direction of american society and culture and an oligarchy where the elites are on top and the rest are out of their control. >> laura: thanks so much. we have the political aspects of this cupboard, next segment, is this backfiring on the democrats? may be. at upmc, living-donor transplants put you first. so you don't die waiting. upmc does more living-donor liver transplants than any other center in the nation. find out more and get out of line today.

>> told me, what is the top issue for you as you go to the polling places this midterm? >> border security. border security. >> why? >> will not be a sovereign nation if we can't secure our border, period. >> laura: it looks cold in texas there. when you hear voters like that it makes you wonder are democrats really miscalculating the public's view of the mobile mob approaching the united states? it's coming of course from

honduras, through mexico all the way up to our southern border. to weigh in on that we are joined by citizens united president, dave bossi, coauthor of the best seller, let trump be trump, along with former aide to chuck schumer, chris hahn. chris, let's start with you, what's the incentive for democrats to kind of fake these migrant numbers to the public? >> i don't think there's any incentive. i think this current wave of immigration plays perfectly into the republicans hands coming at the closing days of the midterms. they need to be taken very seriously and could alter it. i revised my house number down from 40 5:30 seven in the last two weeks and part of that is democratic pickups, most of it is because of this. it mobilizes and energizes the trunk space. this is the number one issue.

this couldn't have been scripted better for republicans as if they planted or something. if this is something the democrats should be very concerned about. that said, i think the democratic base is very motivated to get out and vote in this election and i think when the democratic base somite base comes out, democrats win because they are a bigger base than the republican base. >> laura: i keep going back to this group, he was arrested inside the migrant movable mob. he was arrested because he was central to organizing the previous thing that i'm not calling caravan just so i can stop myself. he was instrumental in organizing those caravans. my question is -- that guides the guy who was somehow working for trump secretly? none of this makes any sense. i agree, and dave bossi, with what chris hahn said, this is a loser for democrats. i'm telling you, my radio show has been flooded, african-american callers, hispanic callers, people in the middle, people who are not the

political, they don't like this. >> that's the key to this. chris just actually hit it right on the head. it is the middle, it's not the republican base, it's not the democrat base. i think both of those are highly energized for this midterm election. it is going to be that soft middle voter who doesn't want chaos, they don't want the mob ruled, and that's what they saw in the streets with the cavanaugh hearing. the exact same mentality that they have. they are repulsed by it and i believe that donald trump talking about common sense issues and common sense solutions really have an edge here and i do think this is a dogfight for the house right down to the last seat and i think we pick up several in the senate whereas it was going to be one or two pickups, now i think it's three or four net pickups in the senate. >> laura: the president's approval numbers are at their highest. >> and disapproval is at its lowest. 49.

>> laura: the faces on msnbc tim this morning, i was joking they should rename it because they looked -- i almost felt sorry for them but then i slapped myself. i almost felt bad for them but they looked -- prematurely morose about what they are seeing because trump's numbers are doing well and enthusiasm among republican voters is higher than they would have hoped. it doesn't mean that the republicans will win back the house, but it means the bleeding might be, might be stanched. >> one of the things i love about this poll is there's only two ways to run, unopposed or scared and democrats weren't scared until this week. they are scared now so they will run a lot harder the next 15 days. 15 days in a political cycle is a lifetime. we can also point out that ronald reagan had a 61% approval rating in one of his midterms and lost eight seats in the united states senate. it's a presidential approval, while it is sometimes important and i do think it helps republicans, it helps them in

some of the swing senate states. i clearly disagree. i think we are going to the status quo senate, at most the democrats will lose one seat. and i think the democrats will pick up 35 seats in the house. >> we are making about. >> you're on. >> laura: i have no idea what's going to happen but i do know this, there's a feel. i got to feel before the election. >> what he is doing across this country in barnstorming across this country, what he's going to be doing for the next two weeks and talking about this great economy, talking about our national security, we are more secure at home and abroad. >> laura: more women working across the country. >> gdp is up. >> i'm looking at the swing house seats and i'm seeing nothing but good news for democrats. i'm also looking at the state of florida and i'm seeing andrew gillum up by 12 points. i don't know how nelson loses if

andrew gillum wins by 12. >> you are correct, there are a lot of seeds that are very interesting. we are trying to figure those out. same as you. but i think that on election day we are going to come out of this in good shape. it is going to be five seats one way or the other. >> nothing i love more than a close contested election. this is going to be very exciting way to the end. that's what we live for. >> laura: that's what we heard on election night. but we kind of knew -- by like 11:00. >> we will do the wrap up after the election. >> laura: here's what i will say, i think dave touched on it. the people clawing at the supreme court doors, my favorite video of all time, you kind of had that sense with the knocking down the barricades in guatemala and mexico and pushing past the police and to heck with you, we are going to go take what we think we deserve and we want and we are going to take it. i don't think that sits well with people. >> the soccer mom. >> laura: we don't want to spend the money on it.

if people don't want to spend the money on this. >> you sound like me in 2010 watching the tea party. i was completely wrong then and i think you're wrong now. i think the democrats are taking house. i have not written off the senate but i think it's -- >> it's not even close. >> laura: let me say, the tea party people were out there talking about the marginal interest rates, tax rates and obamacare. these people are like smoking their marijuana, they are like wearing their tie-dye like it's 1968. >> pretty rowdy crowds with the tea party. >> laura: we are out of time. coming up, what do voters think about the mobile mob barreling towards the u.s.? raymond arroyo is in houston at the trump rally and he was there interviewing people. he will join us. stay there. >> our countries being infiltrated and the security that we're losing and the lack of protection for our people. managing my type 2 diabetes wasn't my top priority.

until i held her. i found my tresiba® reason. now i'm doing more to lower my a1c. once daily tresiba® controls blood sugar for 24 hours for powerful a1c reduction. tresiba® is a long-acting insulin used to control high blood sugar in adults with diabetes. don't use tresiba® to treat diabetic ketoacidosis, during episodes of low blood sugar, or if you are allergic to any of its ingredients. don't share needles or insulin pens. don't reuse needles. the most common side effect is low blood sugar, which may cause dizziness, sweating, confusion, and headache.

check your blood sugar. low blood sugar can be serious and may be life-threatening. injection site reactions may occur. tell your prescriber about all medicines you take and all your medical conditions. taking tzds with insulins like tresiba® may cause serious side effects like heart failure. your insulin dose shouldn't be changed without asking your prescriber. get medical help right away if you have trouble breathing, fast heartbeat, extreme drowsiness, swelling of your face, tongue or throat, dizziness or confusion. i found my tresiba® reason. find yours. ask your health care provider about tresiba®. nothing's more important than a good bedside manner. i don't know how to say this. it's okay, doc. give it to me straight. no, you don't understand, i don't know how to say this. i'm just a tv doctor. they also know you should get your annual check-up. it could save your life. schedule a check-up with your doctor, know your four health numbers, and start taking control of your health today. cigna. together, all the way.

>> laura: tonight's rally in houston, texas, brought out tens of thousands to see president trump speak in support of senator ted cruz. with the border crisis intensifying ahead of the midterms we thought it important to send our own raymond arroyo to speak with some of the folks in the crowd tonight. here's some of what he found. >> what's the most important issue to you as you go to vote? >> probably the border. >> why? >> because our country is being infiltrated. >> keeping the house on the senate so he can move ahead with his agenda. >> i would say the economy. everybody needs a job so i think was the better economic policies in place to help people move on up in the economic factor. >> i came here, i stood in line, waited for my turn and finally got here and that was a privilege. >> makes a mockery out of what my parents had to do in panama.

>> my parents and my husband are from mexico and when they came over here they did everything legally. we went there all the steps, paid everything we had to pay and we just don't think it's fair for all these people just to come in and automatically think that they are able to get citizenship or the things that we have -- are supposed to have your citizens. >> what you think of this caravan we see? which of the product demo president macron verse two? >> send the marines. it's in the military to the border to secure our borders. if you don't know how many people are good. i'm sure a lot of those people are good people but we can't risk the bad people coming in with the good. >> mexico should have stopped them. they didn't. they should have. they should have stopped them, but they didn't. so now we've got to stop them. >> built the wall, make our country great again. we have to be careful. if there are so many people coming and i really feel for those families, but they have to come in the right way. >> would you leave your doors unlocked and just let anybody walk into your home? i don't think so.

>> laura: raymond arroyo, best-selling author of "the new york times" -- joins us now to tell us what else he discovered. raymond, there were a lot of people at that rally. where were some of them from? where they all texans? >> no. everything is bigger in texas, including rallies. there were people from new york. i met people from the upper east side of manhattan, people from maryland, florida. they really came from all over the united states, but think of that. to get on a plane, to come in for the day just to have the president. it tells us something about the excitement out there and the energy, and let me tell you, when the president started talking about these border issues, the chance of "build the wall" were deafening. >> laura: i noticed you happen to speak of a lot of hispanic americans, some from mexico. what were you most surprised about about what they said was the most important issue to them?

>> i was blown away. to a person, they mentioned immigration and the crisis of the border. and most of them had personalized it. you heard some of them at the top where they said i came in legally. i waited. we got sponsors. we had to get people to sponsor us. we needed jobs and a place to live. we went through hearings. we can't just have people crashing the border. for them it's extremely personal and to hear that this sort of breaks against the narrative, totally cuts against the narrative we are hearing in the media that latinos want open borders or relaxation in the border policies, quite the opposite i found here and again, these latinos were from all over the southwest and the south, they were just texans. but that was the big take away. that and a call for unity. they want unity. they want the country to come back together. that was fascinating. >> laura: dan patrick, lieutenant governor. i know he was recognized tonight, as was pretty much every republican congressman and

the senators. >> and louie gohmert. >> laura: dan patrick has said consistently that not only is he tough and greg abbott the governor, on immigration, but they get a disproportionate percentage of hispanic voters because they are growing the economy, the low taxes in texas, tough on crime and he said this issue works. we can expand the base of the republican party. i think dan patrick is 100% right and trump has demonstrated that. the question is, who is beyond trump? who was after trump? >> that is the big question and when you see a turn out like this, in a midterm election, think of this. this isn't up president at the zenith of his powers or president on the stump just out of the gates, this is the guy people have been looking at and listening to for two years. >> laura: the media have been trashing him. >> laura, there were tens of thousands of people outside who couldn't get in.

some of them went home, some of them stood out there and watched on the jumbotron and you had almost 20,000 people in the hall. it was quite an event the reaction, it was almost like being at the republican national convention where we were. it was at that clamorous level and you are the president. >> laura: raymond arroyo, fantastic job down in texas. see you back in washington. we will have more on the looming crisis at the border later in the show as the border chief from the laredo sector joins us exclusively, but next, cory booker said we should believe all victims, whether they are anonymous or identified during that kavanaugh fight. but those who really want to live by that standard? the new accusations facing senator next. dave's dream car.

of course he prefers the pearl white to the cherry red. but you can't fit three kids and a dog who's prone to car sickness in a sports car.

[engine reving] yeah, dave's had to compromise a lot lately. [engine reving] [tires screeching] but not when it comes to cutting the cord. fubo gives him all the sports he needs as well as all the shows his family loves. don't compromise. get over 100 channels plus showtime and cloud dvr included go to fubotv.com.

>> she shared a raw and visceral, incredible, a profoundly powerful testimony with this committee and the world and she was believable.

i believe her. >> laura: that was cory booker on the unfounded accusation against justice brett kavanaugh. our question tonight, does booker still think everyone should be believed? we asked that tonight because a bombshell allegation from an anonymous twitter user accused booker himself of sexual assault. we don't raise this issue because we automatically assume it has credibility, i don't like anonymous allegations. we actually think everyone should wait for the details to come in before we say something like this, right? >> is this the right person to sit on the highest court in the land for a lifetime appointment? when the court ability has been challenged, not whether he is innocent or guilty, this is not a trial, but ultimately has enough questions be raised that we should not move on to another candidate. >> laura: joining us now with reaction, monica crowley, fox news contributor and leo terrel, civil rights attorney

and radio host. leo. we don't lend much if any credence to anonymous accusations without any more detail. i think if you're going to make an allegation like this you have to put your name to it, but can you see the danger of the believe everyone mantra that was created on the left during the kavanaugh saga? especially as espoused by booker himself. >> i don't see the similarities between this anonymous person who i'm willing to go on your program and give this person legal representation if he comes out. i want to come to the police department so we can give a full confession and i will represent him. let's not compare this -- he's accusing cory booker, but let's not compare this person with professor ford, who came out, who spoke. whatever, he's making an accusation. he's accusing. i will give them free representation because i don't believe it. it's a smear campaign. >> laura: monica? >> if this accuser wants to

become public, and i believe we should respect and accuser's wishes on this, unlike what the democrats did to christine blasi ford, but if this accuser chooses to become known and put his name to this allegation, then i think there ought to be an fbi investigation. we are talking about a sitting senator who just a couple of weeks ago in the kavanaugh context talked about how all accusers should be heard and should be believed. in this case it should be relatively easy to investigate, right? the accuser is saying that this alleged incident happened just a couple of years ago. not 40 years ago like with kavanaugh. and there should be witnesses whether or not they can place the two gentlemen together in the same place. we should either be able to verify this or not pretty easil easily. but by cory booker's own standards, this must be investigated. >> i just want to make sure -- are we equating this anonymous

person with professor ford, who came before the senate and the fbi, are we making the equivalence? >> laura: let me just refresh your memory. nbc actually ran with the anonymous accusations. they said well accuser number four and accuser number five. i feel like they were selling knives that got so ridiculous. i will throw in a set of tupperware. it was the most ridiculous thing. our point is i don't like it when people do this kind of stuff. i believe it is a smear. if you're going to make an accusation -- this is a supposedly a man making an accusation that something happened in a bathroom. if you're going to make that kind of accusation you better put your name to it. our point is a simple one. >> i agree. >> laura: our point is a simple one. major media outlets during kavanaugh rolling when this anonymous stuff and people like cory booker out there tarring brett kavanaugh because of the

mountain of evidence which ended up being nothing in the american people are reacting. i've got to get to michael avenatti. this kind of relate somewhat because he was out there during kavanaugh. avenatti now has been -- has suffered two embarrassing court losses earlier today. one ordered him to pay $4.85 million to a former lawyer who argued he was underpaid and then shortly after another judge ruled that his staff and he were to be evicted from their offices for not paying rent for four months. monica, avenatti characteristically says it's false and fraudulent and he doesn't owe anything. >> sure. it turns out that the guy on who the left has penned so many of their hopes, turns out he's a world-class grifter and apparently a serial taxi later because he owes the irs millions of dollars in companies he controls, including his law

firm, also owes the irs millions more in unpaid taxes and judgments. >> laura: it's all a trump set up. trump set him up. >> and now what i find fascinating is some on the left now because he blew up the kavanaugh situation with the unfounded allegations that he was some sort of -- >> laura: leo. >> how about this? >> laura: you are not going to endorse them early for 2020, he's not your kind of guy. >> i'm not endorsing avenatti but i'm simply saying give the guy a chance. he has the right to appeal. he can make a settlement. he has a judgment against him but that doesn't make him a bad person and no i'm not endorsing him. >> laura: who hasn't been evicted every now and then? it's just runs. >> are paid millions of back taxes. >> laura: i think i'm going to have to lend him some money if he can't pay for his rent. maybe he should stop going on all these tv shows and earn an honest living.

>> you guys have destroyed them. >> laura: president trump was mocked for saying we don't know what kind of people at the migrant caravan is surprised of. is he wrong? the border patrol chief joins us next to tell us who they've scooped up just in the last year. don't goy away. these great perks. i got to select my room from the floor plan... very nice... i know, i'm good at picking stuff. free wi-fi... laptop by the pool is a bold choice... and the price match guarantee. how do you know all of this? are you like some magical hilton fairy? it's just here on the hilton app. just available to the public, so... book at hilton.com and get the hilton price match guarantee. if you find a lower rate, we match it and give you 25% off that stay.

if you fii decided thate, we mai wanted to goe you for electrical engineering and you need to go to college for that. if i didn't have internet in the home i would have to give up more time with my kids. which is the main reason i left the military. everybody wants more for their kids, but i feel like with my kids, they measurably get more than i ever got. and i get to do that. i get to provide that for them.

>> laura: president trump says he was comfortable about who might be joining the caravan. his critic roundly rocked on mike mocked his assertions but perhaps they missed this. just last may they arrested syrian, bangladeshi and indian nationals. apprehended 229 bangladeshi national since the start of fiscal year 2018. joining us now to discuss is jason owens of laredo sector boarding patrol.

chief owens, does the president had it right about not knowing what type of folks might be trying to infiltrate a mobile mob like this? i hate calling it a caravan, that's too festive. mobile mob i prefer. go ahead. >> the bottom line is with anybody coming across the border illegally, until we can actually arrest them and talk to them we don't know who they are and what their intent is and it's very accurate in my sector alone, we caught over 650 bangladeshi nationals this year. in south texas last year we caught a number of gang members, convicted criminals, people from all different, countries all over the world. >> laura: doesn't it make sense given what we know about terrorists wanting to exploit our loopholes, if this seems like one big giant loophole, why wouldn't they? they didn't on -- the fact that they haven't done it yet and blown up something in our country, okay, but we didn't think much before 9/11 about box

cutters on plane, but they did that. >> the fact that there are loopholes in our system that allow people to bypass our laws and the fact that there is a border that they are able to cross simply makes it more feasible or more plausible that they are going to continue to exploit those weaknesses. that's why the men and women that are out there on the border patrol patrolling the border each and every day putting their life on the line to keep his country and its people safe need that personnel, technology infrastructure. they need the wall and they need congress to act to close those loopholes so that we can enforce the laws. >> laura: i know just to make you smile because you are very serious, which i love. you're supposed to be, this is what happened today on the view. i'm sure you missed it, so we are going to play it for you. >> is this straight up fearmongering? when did he start putting the middle easterners in. >> are they walking her? >> i don't know. >> he makes of everything. he will tell you osama bin laden is marching. >> laura: didn't that i dress

up as osama bin laden and actually cross the border? your reaction chief? >> there are a lot of family members and people coming from central and south america and mexico that are coming to find a better way of life. there are also folks that have bad intent that are coming across the border that would do this country and its people harm. it's our job to protect this country and we need those resources, the personnel to be able to do the job and we need to be able to enforce the laws. at the end of the day, we don't know who's coming across until we can actually arrest them, until we can actually talk to them and find out what their intent is. >> laura: thanks for the job you went all your men and women of the border patrol are doing, we really appreciate it. and obama back on the trail today. well, a surprise whopper from his nevada appearance, that's tonight's last bite. stay there.

paying less for my medicare? i'm open to that. lower premiums? extra benefits? it's open enrollment. time to open the laptop... ...and compare medicare health plans. why? because plans change, so can your health needs. so, be open-minded. look at everything - like prescription drug plans... oh, and medicare advantage plans from private insurers. use the tools at medicare.gov or call 1-800-medicare. open to something better? start today. open enrollment ends december 7th.

>> laura: it's time for the last bite. barack obama back on the campaign trail and speaking out

on matters of truth versus fiction. >> i believe in a fact-based reality and fact-based politics. i don't believe in just making stuff up. >> laura: overly? i seem to remember, well, just watch. >> if you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor, period. >> laura: we could have been doing that all night. that's all the time we have. shannon bream and the "fox news @ night" team take it from here on a very busy news night. shannon. >> shannon: happy monday, thank you very much. we begin with a fox news alert. president trump sounding upbeat about midterms tonight in a campaign rally with one time bitter file, now friend, senator ted cruz. the president says the blue wave is dissipating a bit and he is now enjoying the highest full members of his presidency. we will talk about those numbers with senior political analyst brit hume and with the midterms
