in tennessee, and mccaskill. look at veritas.com. you can't believe everything, they are purposely lying to you. let not your heart be troubled, laura ingraham is live now. >> laura: hannity, thanks so much. by the way, it's robert francis o'rourke. beto sounds cooler but his name is robert francis. >> laura: >> laura: michael >> : i'm calling him bozo. >> laura: that's a real subtle great show tonight, loved it. i am laura ingraham him from washington. as a so-called caravan begins to swell in size, we will ask questions that are media brethren will not. who is funding these efforts, how has grown so quickly and what did the democrats have to offer besides a bunch of cliches

and bromides? and of course grandstanding. all those answers tonight. plus after trump declared himself a nationalist last night, the media had a case of the vapors or labeling him a white nationalist. in the meanwhile, a disturbing trend of the white pushing race at every turn. we will bring you more footage from raymond arroyo's trip to houston, which is so funny, and what he heard from women about kavanaugh and the midterms might actually surprise you. plus steve scalise, tom loman and louis lewandowski, right here. but first, leftists invasion. if you have been watching other networks, which of course you shouldn't be, you are likely to have a very distorted view of reality when it comes to the caravan of thousands making their way to the u.s. border. the sympathetic overwrought

coverage of this invading horde, calling it a caravan is a misnomer. they are not so much covering the horde as covering for it. >> you see trucks full of freshly cooked tortillas, and incredible christian gestures. >> a fear of the stranger is a tactic that's as old as politics. that's what makes the teachings of christ to welcome the stranger, so radical. >> laura: who died and turned him into joel o'steen? anyway, the biggest cry as a president suggestion that the middle east terrorist might be part of this peace-loving group of traveling mothers and children. >> president trump: take your camera, go into the middle and search. you will find ms-13,

middle eastern, and everything. >> it's been an investor infiltrated by criminals and unknown middle easterners. >> the reality is, if we'd seen any evidence, the middle easterners and members of the caravan. >> of course not. >> laura: it turns out the president may be provided to more information. the spokesperson for the department of homeland security confirmed that the caravan includes "citizens of countries outside of central america, including countries in the middle east, africa, south asia and elsewhere, currently traveling through mexico toward the u.s.." vice president pence said something else that is getting very little attention.

>> what the president of honduras told me was, it was organized by leftist groups in honduras, financed by venezuela and sent north to challenge our sovereignty and challenge our border. >> laura: now that by the way, to to our own horn, confirms what we reported last friday night. rather than betting on this ever-expanding horde of people searching to the u.s. to violate immigration laws or at least again the system, and laboring to humanize them, all these reporters, why aren't they journalists doing their jobs and investigating who actually organized this crowd, and who is financing them? now the vice president just gave you a huge tip, run with it. instead though, the media are strangely incurious about things like the arrest of the director

of in the main leader of the caravan that stormed the border last spring. he's a renowned activist with dual u.s. mexican citizenship who you see him being arrested by mexican authorities last week for allegedly attacking officials and resisting arrest when they intercepted the horde. now why was victoire mojica there in the first place? he's a former opposition party leader and yet another immigration activist. he's reportedly the reportedly the main organizer of this latest invader caravan. guatemala deported him back to honduras and this all substantiates vice president pence's comment earlier today. but where are the journalists following up on this story?

who is funding for antennas and mojica? rather than doing actual reporting and digging into this, it's easier to take up the mantra of the left and embed yourself with the migrants, actually, act like you are a migrant. emotionally manipulate the audience and dismissed trump. it's just a heartless fearmongering. >> trump continues stoking fears over illegal immigration. >> it's easy for these voices of fearmongering on the right. this is threatening all these people. >> you see he is stoking fear and lies. >> he is betting on this caravan vaguely, to get people afraid and out to the polls. >> laura: do they all read the same sheets in the morning? who do they get them from? do you notice there is still substantive?

there are zero answers to the immigration crisis. he's just alarming a fearmongering. but that's not an answer. >> we simply cannot allow people to bore into the united states undetected, undocumented, unchecked. >> of the day when america could be the welfare system for mexico is gone. we simply can't afford it. >> those who enter without our permission, legal aliens and illegal aliens should not be treated same as people who enter the u.s. illegally. the line while the real chuck schumer, the real barack obama, the real dianne feinstein, step forward? that was the way they are then. but now they are out of power. and there is no crisis, what's

the big deal? joe biden tells a reporter that trump makes it sound like they are breaking to the border. unless they take a hard left and go for a swim, where do you think they are headed? the president is sounding the alarm now because unlike your administration, and he actually see is this a looming danger and is trying to proactively shield the united states from it. the president saw what happened during when the last caravan swamped the border, and we will overwhelm the infrastructure and cause another crisis that is entirely avoidable. but still, democrats refuse to be part of the solution. instead, they are demagogy and the issue and were unwilling to work with the president earlier this year to craft a sensible legislation that might have avoided this crisis.

even when president trump, think about this, offered amnesty to 2 million illegals in exchange for the construction of the wall and other common sense reforms about chain migration and so forth, the democrats would have none of it. they didn't want to give trump the victory. so they ended up endangering the migrants and they ended up endangering the american people and opening this whole system up for further corruption. but now my friends, it's up to the american people. they will either allow democrats to continue to ignore the obvious and permit rank lawlessness of the order, or you empower the president with the majority he needs to protect the country. they must be intercepted and sent back to the countries of origin. and they should civilly or criminally prosecute any

individual organizing this crush on our borders. no one should be permitted to undermine our immigration laws, coach the migrants or destabilize the security and the sovereignty of the united states of america, which is exactly the threat presented by this hoarder. whether it's reported by the media or not, i don't care, those are the facts. if this keeps up, this is the only blue wave that we will see in november. see it? it's the blue flag of honduras. and that's the angle. joining us now for reaction, eileen both singing or as an attorney. as someone who worked on these issues at doj, what are these gt are encouraging the use of

lawlessness, coaching the migrants and basically assembling thousands of people on false pretenses. the bottom line is, they are organizing and financing and trying to encourage people to cross illegally, to cross outside of points of entry. it's at least arguable that there are alien smuggling and racketeering charges that are investigated. lots of practical difficulties with that, lots of factual underpinnings that we don't know at this point but, that's at least an option. >> laura: what about james, the idea of giving instructions sheets to migrants? right things are written down on pieces of paper which is obviously tantamount to coaching a witness. it's basically the instructions for gaining entry into the united states. >> the problem ultimately, it's a political solution but the legal aspect of that is, you

could argue that they are aiding and abetting false statements for immigration purposes. but actually proving up that they are encouraging false entry as opposed to entries at a point where they are lawfully turning themselves in. that could ultimately be a problem. the one eileen, this is what mike pompeo said about that. >> the caravan will not cross our southern border illegally under any circumstances. if you seek to come here, go through the refugee process. if you apply for refugee status, a permit selection as possible in mexico or a third country. i can tell you with certainty that we are determined at that illegal entry to the united states from this caravan will not be possible. >> laura: eileen, domestic violence, the fear of gang activity in your hometown or your city or your city are not any longer valid reasons for

credible fear as an asylum-seekers in the united states. >> gang violence is not necessarily qualified for asylum. that showing that someone is going to army for something you can't change or shouldn't have to change. a lot of the migrants that were coming, the people they have interviewed at least at the border are coming here for political reasons. so that tied with the gang violence shows that they have a basis to come here. >> laura: when they were interviewed, many of them by media types in guatemala, they cited, there is no work. then by the time they get to mexico, you start hearing the story changing as the ngo's all

these groups, they end up in groups like them. they have the same and ultimate goals and suddenly the scenario starts changing. then it is, i live in incredible fear of xyz. but isn't it the case that the central american countries, many of them are corrupt, and people feel like, i can come here, i can get my foot in, and i put an ankle bracelet on and i rip it off. isn't that what's going on here in immigration? >> that's not exactly what is happening at a lot of people leave their ankle bracelets on. people can't just come here and say, i want asylum. >> laura: the asylum process

is such that they claim credible fear and then ultimately you have those recited lines down and then you are driven to a bus depot or something like it, and you are basically released into the united states. sometimes you go to a catholic relief services shelter, lutheran services, and we have 700,000 pending immigration cases in the country. so this is tantamount. everyone should understand, catch and release. these migrants are smart enough to know this. >> i view it as a big view for law enforcement. there is absolutely history of

murder and rate's, but is also demonstratively false stories where people are coached up to say, i'm not in a gang anymore, or i'm afraid of x, y and z, where it's not true. so i look at it through the lens of law enforcement and the border patrol people think, this is a impossible task for them to figure out all these people and figure out true and false on the fly in these field interviews, and that's why the whole system needs an overhaul. he can't possibly get a function of fine-tuning our border patrol. speed lent both of you, thank you so much. this is obviously a problem that will continue until we develop solutions and james just referred to congressional solutions necessary. fox news contributor tom homan and louisiana rick congressman and house with steve scalise. tom, let's start with you with all your expertise in this

matter. what's the one thing that could be done right now to help stem this tide of? >> there is actually two things. first of all, it reads the asylum ball. as the attorney said, 88% of them passed the asylum interview because they are coached on what to say. but when they get to court, then they lose a case. the second thing we do, they have a right to claim asylum and there's only one way you can garrett a guarantee due process. keep them in the residential center until they see the judge. back in 2014, we kept them there to see the judge and guess what? 80%, >> congressman scalise, we don't have anything before this

election. it cost taxpayers billions of dollars to take millions of people in. public school, health care, and it's a health care issue two because we don't know what people have coming in here. we have diseases in this country we haven't had for decades. what will congress do after the midterms to address the issue? >> in the next two weeks you will see this debate play out because ultimately that election in two weeks will help decide i it. i'm really glad that president trump is putting such a sharp focus on that. it's like up parade of asylum-seekers. the people that are coaching them along the way so that at the beginning of this march, they are talking about coming over here and looking for jobs and by the time they get closer, they are being coached about how to finally try to get in here legally even though this is not what the legal process is supposed to be like.

we need to change the law, we've had two different bills on the house floor. without actually we have had aco tighten these loopholes up. >> laura: i would pull everyone back from the term campaigning. we have thousands of people, , d maybe most of them are unarmed, or all of them for all we know. the american people pricing this play out, but this is like the phone is ringing and no one is home. >> erasing president trump saying, we are not going to allow this. first of all come all the old latin american countries, all those billions of dollars of foreign aid need to be on the table. this is going to be a threat to your billions of dollars that you are getting. the president trump has already made that clear. this will be in jeopardy. you saw secretary of state pompeo saying, we are not going to let you into our country. we have to treat this as a a ad invasion but also as a nation of

laws. just play by the rules. there are rules that you can play by but they are trying to gain the system. we have to be very clear that these laws have to be changed, and there will be an election in just two weeks. there are people who want -- pelosi wants open borders. president trump has done a great job of making this an election issue because a country will ultimately decide. national security open borders, i'm for it, national security. >> the groups that are facilitating this, they are coconspirators. >> what they describe is absolutely aiding and abetting and helping people. that's a violation of united states code 1324 which is a felony. so they need to work with the

partners in mexico, identify these people and prosecute. >> laura: thank you so much for joining us. congressman scalise, we would like to have you back on this issue. after he called himself a nationalist, president trump is getting slammed all across the board. guess what? they arere playing the race car xenophobia. will tell you why, when we comees back 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- metastatic breast cancer, 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. diarrhea is common, may be severe, and may cause dehydration or infection. before taking verzenio, tell your doctor if you have

fever, chills, or other signs of infection. verzenio may cause low white blood cell counts, which may cause serious infection that can lead to death. serious liver problems can occur. symptoms may include tiredness, loss of appetite, stomach pain, and bleeding or bruising more easily than normal. blood clots that can lead to death have also occurred. talk to your doctor right away if you notice pain or swelling in your arms or legs, shortness of breath, chest pain or rapid breathing or heart rate. tell your doctor if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or plan to become pregnant. common side effects include nausea, infections, low red and white blood cells and platelets, decreased appetite, headache, abdominal pain, tiredness, vomiting, and hair thinning or loss. i'm relentless. and my doctor and i choose to treat my metastatic breast cancer with verzenio. be relentless. ask your doctor about everyday verzenio.

>> president trump: they have a word, it sort of became old-fashioned, it's called a nationalist. and i say really, we are not supposed to use that word. you know what i am? i'm a nationalist. [cheers and applause] >> laura: at that line set the media and democrats into a fit of rage. >> is trying to do the america first thing and lend a new vocabulary to it, i know he has brought a nationalist and maybe

as a dog whistle to raise us as such. >> you are suggesting it's a dog whistle there? >> does provoke hate activity. it does provoke discrimination. >> laura: send me a memo when we will retire that phrase. the phrase dog whistle wasn't even strong enough. >> when donald trump claims he's a nationalist, that's not a dog whistle, that's a fog horn his faced. face. >> laura: merriam-webster defines it, loyalty and devotion to a nation. in other words, i'm erica. so where is the controversy? let's bring in horace cooper, senior fellow for the policy research and preston mitchum, chair of the washington bar association young young lawyers division. why is the notion of loyalty?

>> we know what nationalism means and we've heard it many times. that's what catapulted hitler to the person that he is and that we don't want to be today and, though i won't go as far to call trump hitler, i will say it smells hitler-ish. the trouble with that is, not only argue attempting to say that america is better than any other country which, on a surface level is a harmless term. but when we peel back the layers and have a conversation about what nationalism means and how it's been used against people who are muslim, people of color, people who may not necessarily be "patriotic" in this country, that's a harm of nationalism. >> laura: one question about that. the country is very diverse, we have an increasing number of latino americans, african-americans, people from asia and pacific islanders.

people from all over the world. but he was referring to america. it's a large, diverse population. so i'm not following -- he says hitlerish. while his daughter is jewish, and son-in-law is jewish, he has the strongest relationship of any modern day president. i don't see how that computes. our policy was before described as two pro israel. now you are saying it's hitlerish? >> that would be like saying that because someone is married to a black person, they can't be racist. >> laura: that's pretty tough. >> that's very hard. >> you've lived in the country longer than i have so i'm surprised he would say it's hard. >> laura: all right, horace, i want to play -- this is what president trump followed up, after he heard all of the dash he is hitler, he pulled the product, it's like everyone bad

who ever lived because he's a nationalist, and this is what he followed up with today. >> president trump: all i want is for our country to be treated well and treated with respect. for many years, other countries that are allies of ours, they have not treated our country fairly. so that said, i'm absolutely nationalist and i'm proud of it. >> laura: so that's the latest latest. >> this president loves this country. i watched during hurricane harvey when he went out and was a volunteer helping to distribute goods and services. if you watched the camera and you weren't paying attention to what the commentators were saying, that's what they liked and the people that they encountered. this president is devoted to this country. it's the strangest form of racism, they've done better in

this country relative to every other population. the civil rights act was passed because blacks and minorities couldn't get work. now, you've got five records of unemployment achievement for black americans. it's the weirdest form of racism almost as weird as saying, it i is, to make it better. >> puerto rico contrary to what many say, it's part of the united states. >> laura: let's keep this focused. the puerto rican infrastructure was a disaster, and it's been difficult for a long period of time. andrew gillum is an up-and-comer in florida, and he said this on

hill tv. let's watch. >> i think we are held to a different standard. i try not to spend a lot of time on what that is, rather focusing on what my contributions are and how we push past it. they don't expect much of me to begin that. they didn't even expect me to be there. now they are having to wrap their heads around someone like me on the state and the national scene. >> laura: how is this not playing the race card? ron desantis called -- a monkey and and a chimpanzee? >> laura: he did not say that. that was alive. he he said monkey business. >> laura. you know that -- >> laura: ron desantis, if that's what you're going to try to beat ron desantis -- and why argue the

race card? >> when barack obama wins reelection, is that racism, too? >> 57% of white women voted for trump, you don't see that connection there? >> laura: no i don't. >> we have a problem in this country when you can see how much progress black americans have made. we have more houses, more cars, more billionaires than we have ever had it, ever. you cannot say it's worse, you can say that we have made substantial. those comments deny that progress, and they imply that this country is in fact -- you can't win them.

>> just -- he's like a head the polls. >> gentlemen, great to have you on and love the panel as always. another debate, coming up.

>> the way that democrats use women and sexual assault to get a delay is a total turnoff. >> no one has ever been treated like they treated him. >> we loved kavanaugh and what he was saying. i hate to say it but i didn't believe her. >> it will be their downfall. >> laura: if that sounds awfully different than the narrative democrats wanted us to believe, and that's not all. thanks to a strong economy, labor force assault's resident

has risen. and that's the lowest level since the 1950s. between the backlash to kavanaugh and the great economic fortune, should democrats be taking the female votes for granted? joining us now, sarah, i want to start with you. look at these numbers. more women in the labor force really since 1990s. a record number of people earning a good living, which is beginning to go up and look at the chart there since 2,000, at the height of the tech boom. these are just staggeringly good economic numbers for women. >> sure.

those economic numbers are good. so having a job and be part of the labor force is the bear and a mom for women. when suburban women go home and talk to their families, they are talking about their health care. when they vote to repeal the aca again, taking health care coverage away from millions of americans, that matters. and when he promises to cut social security benefits for millions of seniors, that matters. he also said we need to cut social security benefits. >> laura: as an advocate for social security, what do you guys think? >> i think they are fighting tooth and nail to stark contrast not only to protect social security but -- >> laura: you probably know math better than i do. >> it's perfectly sustainable. what you'd do is raise the cap on income tax so people can see

the solvency of the social security fund. but regardless, what we are seeing is a stark contrast between what one party is offering -- >> laura: well, health care definitely, they are pushing the health care issue. but i pay for my own health care, i think it's gone up 60% since obamacare. and that was when you pay for your own is a small business owner. so i had health expenses before obamacare but, it's like a joke. a complete joke. so with that, what is it with the suburban female voter? is it uncomfortable? is it tonality of some of what they are hearing? some of these other issues, they don't seem like they are bubbling up to the surface as they would normally like in a presidential election. >> i just heard democrats want to raise taxes. but i think women are more complex than that. for each of these women who like

to have a job, some of them also like to have the choice of working at home and being moms and that's a perfectly legitimate choice. they want their husbands and their families and their kids to have features that are bright and have lots of opportunities, so these numbers are amazing opportunities for americans. we saw the lead in with the story about how women reacted negatively to the corrected share of them as only caring about one side of the issue. we care about all sides of the issue as we own businesses, we provide for our employees, and we like to have a bright future. so those democrats may be taking us for granted as a cookie-cutter approach. >> laura: one of the interesting things, you saw when raymond was interviewing all these people, and it's a self-selecting group, people that go to the trump rally. but these groups were not all that political. the ability to separate the tweets they may not like from the president, and the way the america is, outside of the

bubble of metropolitan areas, most people just want to go home and live their lives. they have more money in their pocket, they are able to go on vacation and they feel more optimistic about the future. that's not a fox news poll, these are poles that are pew and galloped, people are more confident about the future. women and men. if it were going badly, democrats would be saying, it's horrible and trump is a reason. >> i think that may be true for some women but the electorate of people engaging in the midterm election will be completely different than what we saw in 2016. especially in the suburb. >> tell me what they want that they are not getting in the greatest economy that i have ever experienced. >> i think some people just look at the landscape of politics, and they are appalled by what they are seeing. >> what are they physically

appalled by? >> the majority party trying to strip health care from millions of people to try to cut into benefits for seniors, and i think something that is really -- >> i'm not a big -- >> we see the way suburban women are turning out in record numbers and special elections. suburban women -- >> doug jones, historically from a red state. i'm happy to see democrats pick up seats. same thing with connor lam in pennsylvania. with all of these people and historically red and purple places being carried into office by energized suburban women voters. >> you know what women don't like? they don't like to hear women like kyrsten kyrsten sinema sai

can say that women who stay home are bloodthirsty leeches -- >> its many different issues that come at it from a variety. >> we actually assumed that because this political system is going on that everyone will vote a single way and they aren't, and we are seeing that. the women who work in the professional world, the women who own businesses, they say i like having more money in my pocket. i like having more choices in my health care and i like not going bankrupt because of dumb social security policies. >> laura: it guys, this is such a great -- can i even say guys? is that okay? great to have you both on. cory lewandowski is here to react to this tactic, and some physical altercation between himself and white house chief of staff john kelly. stay right there.

>> laura: if you thought the aggressive tactics of the left would die down after the kavanaugh nomination, think again. someone threw a boulder through the window of his office and this was right after mitch mcconnell was heckled by ditch mitch protester while having dinner with his wife in kentucky. the attacker through mcconnell's food out the door. chuck schumer only pointed out the vandalism, and they only noted that a pipe bomb was found, or something resembling a pipe bomb was found in george soros and mailbox. it feels like -- we say this a lot, but why these confrontations are going so crazy out there.

>> you have people like eric holder saying, while they are down, kick them. people that are working in government service whether it sarah huckabee sanders, or others, and the restaurants are seen by these mobs that are encouraged by the democrats to the left because they have no message for where they want to take the country. their only message is instability, chaos and bedlam and that doesn't play well with the midterm elections. >> they were on today, basically saying whatever was found in the mailbox is trump's fault. >> we heard the name george soros brought up by the president that the united states, by backbenchers in the republican congress, blaming him for funding these caravans and blaming him for funding one fake conspiracy after another. have to point the finger back to the president, and they have

just been spreading these conspiracy theories that have been adding some overtones to them. >> laura: i don't even know if george soros is jewish, i have no idea. but he has a -- i don't get that line of argument at all but that's where they are. >> he literally has a daughter that is jewish. i would not call that anti-semitic. the antithesis of anti-semitic, and your grandchildren are jewish by the way. but on top of that, what joe doesn't want to talk about and with the left doesn't want to talk about are the guess that you had on earlier tonight, steve scalise. a man who has actually assaulted, attacked and almost murdered in cold blood by a man who who is a bernie sanders supporter, a self-proclaimed bernie sanders socialist, that's where the real crimes are. that's what the left is perpetrating here but the mainstream media, that doesn't fit their narrative.

>> laura: okay, this was a montage that the media was running with today about you and john kelly. >> as breaking news goes, this is something. an argument between john kelly and cory lewandowski turned physical. cnn has learned white house chief of staff john kelly and president trump's former campaign manager cory lewandowski got into an heated argument in the west wing back in february. >> chief of staff john kelly grabbed warmer senior campaign official cory lewandowski by the caller. >> laura: what happened? >> i'm a senior campaign official, i thought i ran the campaign. can't i get a little credit? john and i have a great relationship. we are both on the trump-pentz agenda, and what may or may not have taken place ten months a quarrel or eight months ago, it's completely irrelevant to where we are today. this is a story that no one talked about. it didn't come to a near brawl by any stretch of the

imagination. john and i have had very passionate views about making sure the presence of mike president's team was ready for the midterm elections. this has now gone on and i've been very candid that early in the administration, i wanted to make sure i was ready for what would take place in two weeks. that's the trump-pentz agenda. >> laura: at chief of staff, things are going pretty well. people are in a great mood, we come from an ethnic family. if you are not fighting, you are not getting anything done. i thought this was a big snore, it made it more interesting to me. >> both guys are very passionate, and the bottom line is, we are moving somewhere and setting a historic precedent, that's because of the leadership of the trump-pentz team.

>> laura: if you are both very strong. i want no part of it but you could do something for charity. i would turn this into a charity thing. cory, always great to see you. and cory booker. we are going to get into that tonight. but on james, why isn't he a household names? we will ask him why he thinks the media -- ♪
