>> dan: she's got some moves. that's all the time we have left this evening. before you go, christmas is less than a week away so if you are looking for the perfect last-minute gift, check out my new book, "spygate, the attempted sabotage of donald j. trump." as always, thank you for being with us tonight, laura ingraham is next. >> laura: if you think that's rhythm, i've got to check out your dance moves my friend. that's rhythm? i couldn't even find her in that little shadow thing. >> dan: if you see my dance moves, you can't unsee it. you'd have to bleach your eyes. >> so you are the male version of a lien on "seinfeld," great. >> dan: it's worse. merry christmas if i don't see you. i am at laura ingraham and this is the ingraham "the ingraham " tonight we will speak with the man behind a go fund the effort to finance the border wall. only three days this has been up and it he has already raised $9 million. the story of the can-do american spirit and action is ahead. plus, or anti-trump forces

inside g.o.p. leadership responsible for the dirty dossier being spread throughout the media? an investigation with peter schweitzer is ahead. and we will bring you the highlights of the worst media offenses of the year. governor mike huckabee and howie kurtz braked on the videotape and also tonight the christmas police are back. we just have an excuse to use our christmas police video, and how the u.s. postal service canceled one families stamp over the claim that the stamp was too religious at christmas. we begin tonight with this. donald trump making a stand for his wall. it's what voters wanted but leadership will stood in his way. trump is now facing threatening a shutdown. >> president trump: i've made my position very clear, and he made sure that funds the government must include border security. it is the solid promise to

protect and defend the united states of america and it is our sacred obligation. we have no choice. >> laura: joining me now are two republicans engaged in this fight. steve scalise and congressman sean duffy of wisconsin. plus ed henry joins us, too. he's been following all the developments. congressman scalise, let's start with you. you have the votes but the senate look shaky to say the least. are we headed for a shutdown tomorrow? >> first of all, i think it was a very important day today. when nancy pelosi was in the office and he she said, mr. president, you don't have the votes to fund the wall. and we just gave some serious leverage in whatever negotiations he will have with the senate, they have to confront the issue knowing that we have the presidents back in the house. >> laura: a lot of the listeners today on radio and

tonight are watching and thinking, how are we always in this position. it's the end of the year, no one is rushing to get out of town. everyone is already gone and paul ryan said, we will have a fight, we will have a conversation about the border wall. two years and house majority, two years and senate majority and relate until the end of november to deal with an issue that american people won't want dealt with. >> we should have had this budget fight last week. >> laura: what about last spring? >> we could have done it last week or even this tuesday, but it would have passed a bill that funded the border wall before the senate acted and we were going to do it today, thursday the 20th of the year. this is idiotic. what we should have done is we just passed a bill on criminal justice reform. why don't we negotiate an extreme criminal justice reform,

give us 5 billion in border security and no one negotiate that deal. >> until you raise that tonight, i have not even thought about that. the president did not run on criminal justice reform. i'm glad it passed, and you are not and that's fine. but he isn't getting credit for it. but if you want to use it then use it in a way that advances the trump agenda. ed henry has information here about where things stand in the senate. i tweeted earlier, everyone will fall out follow my tweets. i said earlier that mitch mcconnell should fight for this wall as hard as he fought for cavanaugh and actually it's more important in the long-term survival of the country. >> he only needs 51 votes. and that's what the house republicans leaders are talking about. but the challenge i'm being told

is that you have republicans like bob corker, bob corker told fox tonight he's retiring from tennessee, he's already driving home from tennessee. we talked to sources inside the white house who tell me, think about it, put yourself in the shoes of president trump. he was told that we will repeal and replace obamacare. he was told that will have wall funding. if you go down the list, and a lot of these priorities, he actually won on that in 2016. and, of president trump standing up against canada and the dairy farmers in congressman duffy's district wouldn't have helped in wisconsin. >> time and again the presidents

instincts on these issues, you just took us through a couple of them, were spot on. he was pulled back from his instincts by the experts. i think some of them were foreign policy experts which are now thankfully gone, or treasury experts. his instincts on this are right. and i want to play something for everybody. you have to watch chuck schumer. this is what he said about the shutdown. >> president trump is plunging the country into chaos and he said in front of us that he would be proud to shutdown the government. it's nothing to be proud of. the bottom line is simple. the trump temper tantrum will shut down the government but it will not get him his wall. >> he deserves the republicans to get behind him and also put the democrats back on their heels. and, think about this.

a few years ago chuck schumer voted for the border wall. he will have a hard time reconciling this. he's saying he could make it personal, he doesn't want donald trump to get money for the wall. american people see donald trump fighting for them to secure the border. it's about border security and it's about this through the campaign. and he's actually doing it. he will have a shutdown, try to blame somebody else for it. if this is about border security, you are for it or you are against it. they are attacking the border patrol agents, and, spend it real-time, not just the photo ops that they do when they go up to the border patrol people and to try to usher in migrants. the tijuana government knows the chaos, mexico has seen the chaos, chuck schumer chaos, and

nancy pelosi said that earlier today and i got you to respond. >> out there are no votes in the house, the majority of votes in the wall. >> laura: you prove her wrong? >> we just past $5 billion, and -- >> laura: could schumer be wrong as well? >> we have an agreement with all the funding, and that's the only thing funding the government versus shutting the government down. and, they talked about families that have lost loved ones to drug abuse.

the parents have lost a loved one at the hands of an illegal immigrant. >> laura: personalize it, they personalize it. they say the death of a 7-year-old girl is on your shoulders. >> last year alone, are the i.c.e. agents who are in the middle of this too. and so thank god we had president trump fighting, and, this is the most important issue for the american people today. it's the government and immigration. those two issues are the top of the list for the people. the government working against the people and immigration. that's it, you have to address

the country. and by the reaction in the hours following, he would have thought we decided on a prudent ground invasion to a foreign country. here is nancy pelosi and chuck schumer. >> everything that indicates stability, everything that indicate strength, that indicates knowledge is leaving this administration. general kelley, general medicine, so many others. and mcmaster. there is chaos now in this administration. >> i am shaken, the message it sends to our troop's and for the indication of what his view is of the commander in chief. >> laura: hears the message it sends to our troops, you are coming home. the days of bush interventionism

is over. i do not remember, and i thought pelosi and company were for pulling troops back. >> they don't want to admit it, and i think you made a very important point a moment ago about senator schumer as well, and the walls are closing in, this is it, then it sort of fizzles out. but here's the bottom line. i don't think you can sugarcoat the fact that matus leaving, in terms of his differences. here's my bigger point. he has been an ally in recent days, and he is warning, don't make the same mistake that barack obama made in terms of

pulling out, and not just repeal and replace, in the trade and the tariffs. but he also said, they were not the world's policeman. he was honest about that. >> 17 years. everyone is a refrain. we are watching schumer with his glasses down on the end of his nose and thinking is really serious. remember what donald trump campaigned on. watch. >> president trump: we are gettingut of the nation building business. we have evacuated terrorism to grow and thrive. i want to help all of our allies, but we are losing billions and billions of dollars. we cannot be the policeman of

the world. >> laura: he won in part on a noninterventionist platform. obama beat bush on a noninterventionist platform. they are running around acting like 2003 all over again. skeets to steve scalise, matus has a different point of view on this. i found that letter to be surprising coming from him. >> there's only one commander in chief. president and secretary of state tiller's and had some differences and so rex tillerson left and mike pompeo came in, he will find somebody else to serve in this role. and they are not going all the way. >> he will be able to find another general who will serve this country well. >> the line is always, if we

leave, chaos will ensue. these countries that are by the very constitution very chaotic. >> why is it a national security interest? >> i think -- we will be there for everywhere. >> what happens with russia, what happens with iran. what are we worried about russia for? >> to see the to america, -- >> how much time does china spend in iraq and afghanistan? >> none. >> but you are at the point, he gets the call and he deserves our staff that supports him. >> it seems unnecessarily petty, of an american hero, and i thought that was surprising. >> but i think we have the right to disagree.

it seems -- we will see if we can go back to bush's and the american people. >> president trump is building our military. >> thank you so much. i want to get to a tragic but important story outside of washington and it relates to what we are talking about. we have to tie this together for the american people. a community route, ravaged by lack of action on the local and state government that just turned their backs on them. visalia california, over over e course of two hail to, this man went on a reign of terror. he killed at least two and injured many more. [gunshots]

>> deputies' hearing gunfire from this man. it all went down early monday morning. you can hear the officer reloading his gun after the bullets run out. >> laura: the circumstances are tragic on their own but the run up to it is even more so. to days before this reign of terror he was arrested by that to lahr county sheriff's deputies were being under the influence of a controlled substance. he was held in the county jail for about ten hours before being released even though ice officials i.c.e. officials had issued a hold. he had a violent criminal past. >> they tell fox news that garcia had been deported twice. in the past the sheriff's office could have alerted immigration because of his extensive rap sheet which included armed robbery more than two years ago. >> you might be wondering why

the cops let him go. was it the police's fault? >> ice did follow a detainer as soon as it learned of garcia's arrest friday. this would be enough to keep them in custody in other states but, this office no longer recognizes those detainer's and it can't reach out to i.c.e. for misdemeanor crimes. >> so our county sheriff said before sp 54 which is the sanctuary state bill, gustavo garcia would have been turned over to ice officials, that's how we have always done it. but after sp 54 we know longer have the power to do that. we should know the two large county board of supervisors voted to adopt a resolution opposing california sanctuary state law in may of this year, and even though it's kind of symbolic, it does show citizenry standing up for common sense. joining me now is mike boudreaux. sheriff, i know my viewers

across the country are watching this and wondering how this can happen in the united states where we emote morning, noon, and night, about the tragic circumstances who are trying to come into the country. and i get it, it's tragic and it's tough. but did you get a call from pelosi or from gavin newsom? any other officials in california concerned about what's happening there? >> you know, the only phone call that i got was from the aclu demonizing the actions that we took. which is really unfortunate. you know to tulare county is an agricultural community and we produce multimillions in agriculture that sent all over the world. we have a large undocumented community. we also have a large group of people who don't commit these crimes on a daily basis. i think what our focus it on is

the criminal. the criminal elements that end up in jail, and i'm no longer able to recognize the detainer through the sanctuary state law as well as the ninth quart circuit indicating that the detainers don't meat due process. because of those combined efforts we know longer can telephone i.c.e. and even asked the question, why is this detainer placed. nor can we recognize the detainer itself. >> laura: can you give them a heads up? can you call and say, we are about to release this individual, or we have this individual in custody. even if they can't, and interview him or examine him, is there any notification at all? >> we are not allowed to talk to our counterparts. >> laura: i have to play something for you.

this is nancy pelosi's claim about what sanctuary policies actually accomplish. watch. >> are a city of san francisco is a sanctuary city and we see it as a place where it makes it safer. it makes us safer because people can go to school, they can get driver's license, they can be witnesses against other violence that they see in the community. >> laura: is your community feeling safer tonight? >> they are not feeling safer. but we are not against our undocumented communities. i think it needs to be very clear, even our undocumented community, they are not afraid of the law enforcement. >> that's a lie, every time we deal with one of the sanctuary policy cases.

we did this in new jersey a couple weeks ago. the advocate that came on set up we will not have immigrants cooperating with authorities, we won't have authorities testifying in cases, that's just a bunk. so you don't see that at all? >> we say our community reaching out to us. what they are afraid of is that the criminal will return to the community because they can't report them to life. >> and create other offenses against property and people. thank you for the heads up and speaking out on what we will be following all throughout the next year because so many people won't do it, but we well. coming up, when our leaders fai fail, when americans began to take action into their own hands and a good way. an air force veteran and triple mpt is fighting his own way to pay for the border wall. and he's going to tell us about it, next.

i'm not allowed on facebook anymore. my military coffee company was outright banned and facebook executives told me i'm not allowed to use it. they threatened to a delete my wife's account if they find me on facebook. so i'm on twitter and that's where people can find me. it's ridiculous the way that people treat these people.

people are passed off in general, , and it's a lot of problems that are bubbling up right now. it's a combination of things and americans are just not happy. >> laura: now why the wall, why is this an issue for you? >> the wall is an important thing for me. it's near and dear to my heart and it was a promise that was made to americans and this is a very important part of our nation, our country. we are a nation of laws and we need to enforce these laws. we can't have people coming across our border who are unchecked, we could have another terrorist attack tomorrow. it doesn't take many people to stage an attack. we need to know who is coming across the border and keep it in check. >> what do you mean the walls in our constitution? >> it's part of our nation. >> our sovereignty.

>> wright, the trump wall is not in the constitution. >> laura: i get what your point is. he made the promise and if the wall doesn't get built, it's hard to say trump winning in 2,020. if this wall doesn't get built, i think it will demoralize a lot of people. mikael gillett, i don't know who this guy is but it's a singer that some people follow was hitting it hard on twitter. right now people are donating money they don't have to build a wall they don't need that solves a problem that doesn't exist. and i guess the band, airborne toxic effect, basically saying you are bad at math because it would take until 2,086 -- yes, you are racist and bad at math. if there is no real substantive doubtful argument about why oh

wall may or may not work. >> that's the liberal tactics, they will come out and attack me and my family. they can do what they want but we are not stopping. we will keep on pushing through. no matter what congress does, if they pass this through, we will see what senate does and how this plays out. americans aren't happy and they will keep giving to this go fund me and we will keep pushing it. >> $9.7 million, it's one of the top go fund me efforts in three days for the whole year. we will be following this brian. thank you for your service to this country. you suffered greatly for our freedom and you continue to inspire so many people, thank you so much. we really appreciate it. merry christmas to your family. now onto some troubling revelations inside a florida court. some publications say that the publication buzzfeed was sued after they published the bogus dossier on president trump.

but they won in court. but that's not the interesting part of the story. inside the filing were revelations about certain republicans that will shock a lot of you. first, a longtime associate of senator john mccain initially provided a copy of that infamous dossier to buzzfeed. and a second, a paul ryan ade and congressman adam cain said a copy. peter, why does this not surprise me, that when someone is trying to shop and anti-trump document as salacious and ridiculous as that was, they went to to big-time neoconservatives that are diametrically opposed to trump, things like the wall, a

noninterventionist philosophy and economic nationalism go down the line. mccain and ken's anger and i guess paul ryan had some access to it as well. >> you are right. you speak to something profound about washington's political culture, think about this for a second. if mccain's office or ryan's office had begun a salacious, unverified dossier about one of their colleagues, do you think they would have been leaking it around to the press corps? i really doubt it. this speaks to the fact that donald trump is a disruptor. there is a deep cultural crash between him and it speaks to the fact that they do not like the way things are done in washington, d.c., the same that congresswoman-elect alexandria ocasio-cortez is doing things on the left of the spectrum. it speaks to the fact that, what

donald trump represents, it's those policies that you talked about but changing the dynamics of how washington works. >> laura: if they want the status quo. let's face it, a lot of people make a lot of money. folks out there see what people make as lobbyists or consultants, and these are people who haven't won elections in a decade. and yet they still make tens of millions of dollars with ad buys and add design and placement and consulting contracts. trump comes in like a wrecking ball and says this whole town stinks to high heaven and it makes him really nervous. they are freaking out about this serial withdrawal, most americans don't know we are in syria. so i think he has held up a mirror to the corruption in washington and they don't like

what they are saying so, it has to be that trump is the problem and trump is the correct corru. >> right exactly. and you think about something like the regulation, it's great because it frees up american businesses and makes them more competitive but they cost people washington washington, d.c., money. the reason why regulations whether environmental or financial are so complicated and complex are because they are designed that way. you have an entire industry in washington, d.c., that is interpreting rules and laws that nobody else understands. if you come in and say, we are getting rid of these thousands of pages of regulations, suddenly that is a huge revenues cream for washington consultants that's gone. that's just one of the ways that the swamp is being changed in washington, d.c. so agree with trump on certain policies or not but there is no disputing the fact that he is a disruptor.

we love disruptor is in valley and would like them in the entertainment, entertainment business, and it's good in american policies as well. >> it's a problem when there are as many cranes, the measure of corruption are the number of cranes in any given neighborhoo neighborhood. it is wild, they like the status quo. keep the money spending even if we don't have it. peter schweitzer, and have a merry christmas and to see you in the new year. up next, what where the worst media moments of 2018? well i make any of those? i hope not. and of the most embarrassing moments, when we get back.

than to highlight a few of the media low lights from the past year and our friends at gradient helped us out, too. here with me now to take us through the tape, former arkansas governor mike huckabee, a host of "media buzz" also right here on fox. let's start with the medias wants warm embrace of a man who is now not on the top of the invite list. let's watch. >> stormy daniels' lawyer michael avenatti joins us now. >> joining now is michael avenatti. >> michael avenatti joins us now. >> joined me now from los angeles is michael avenatti. >> we want more of the spooning comments. >> he was hard to book. >> he was the belle of the ball, until he wasn't. so the media have seen this coming? >> the nbc put this guy on several times a day to peddle

his unsubstantiated claims, but the worst by far was putting michael avenatti on to make the claims of this woman who accused kavanaugh -- >> laura: that's what i want to see. we see these introductions and it's like, really, tell us more about all this unsubstantiated garbage. that's what should go down about the last 12 months. disgusting. are we going to the next one? all right, huck wants to describe this as well. i think michael avenatti is one of those figures who will occasionally pop up like if they have a celebrity hollywood squares may be, he will be the lower right square or something. but i don't see of a michael avenatti having much of a role in public life in the future. >> i think his history is up like a rock and down like a rock

and a back under the rock from whence he crawled. that's the end of the story on michael avenatti. >> laura: the number two on our list involves some actual dumpster diving as they try to find some dirt tying president trump to russia. >> did you look through the trash there? what did you find? >> we came here expecting this office to be empty. but in fact all day here, we've been here throughout the course of the day, people have been going in and out and we went through the trash can see what could find, new computers are being delivered here. >> somehow the accent makes it different. >> not that big of a deal, but it kind of smells. >> laura: literally and figuratively. but this just tells you how low they can go. going through the garbage now? i guess you could do that.

but, for what? >> i thought they were doing a tour of their newsroom. that's what you typically see with a lot of these networks. anything, and i mean anything. that does show that if you are willing to go through people's trash hoping to get something negative on conservatives, you are pretty desperate. and this is an media that is pretty desperate. >> laura: what's the rating for the media now? that approval rating usually hovers around 20%. or do people respect them? >> it's up to 30 now. this is not migrating. >> laura: governor, we have to check this. do that google search. is it really 30%? >> i just have to tell you, howie, the flu is more popular than the media right now. >> while it is on a downward

spiral. >> laura: let's move on to number three, where some cnn hosted the best they could to test the limits of the sec. >> it's the craziest [bleep] i've ever heard. >> [bleep] country. >> i've definitely [bleep]. >> slippers and slant eyes. i called you [bleep] >> i cannot [bleep] speak out a lot of [bleep]. >> did you wear out that beeper? the one i don't know how you do those edits. i guess people are more authentic, living their truth. our previous guest who was a war hero and triple amputee, i don't like it when people use on air,

i know that sounds old-fashioned but, we want to not on tv as much if we can possibly not. >> i don't know if you know this or not but they quit serving sandwiches in the cnn cafeteria and now they just sell soap for people to eat because i got so potty mouth over there. >> laura: [laughter] >> in one of them, someone called donald trump a bs-several times. it just goes to show that all ethics go out the window and you can cut down and dirty and because all you want. >> we have an anchor who -- but i mean it's just -- it shows you -- and i hate that trump derangement syndrome has become such a cliche but if something

is burrowed deep into the psyche of people that they are not even able to have friendships with people whom they disagree with, people have been friends with and other media outlets for years, i used to like don lemon. he used to come on my radio show, we could disagree, but now there is this burrowed in anger and resentment. you are a horrible awful rotten person if you ever said anything nice about donald trump, and it's oozing out of their pores which is very strange. the last one on our list to someone i just mentioned. cnn's don lemon describing the biggest terror threat facing our country right now. >> we have to stop demonizing people and realize that the biggest terror threat in this country is white men, most of them radicalized to the right,

and we have to start doing something about them. there is no travel ban on them. there is no ban -- what do we do about that? the one governor huckabee? you are one of those. >> i'm guilty as charged, i am an american white man and i don't know what don lemon is going to do. what is he going to do, up deport me? arrest me? this is the height of it. but i have to tell you, it's not just what he says but that tone where he is attempting attempto diligently to sound authoritative. these guys who sit and pontificate night after night with such a tone of seriousness as if they are personally saving this great republic --

face of amazon. >> i'm all about good promotion. but let's keep it real. >> laura: still to come, a message from rush limbaugh on my last radio show today. plus, o. the christmas police is back, next. ♪

>> laura: the christmas police are back and coming for your mail. ♪ [sirens] >> laura: we love that little stager. tonya hunt, wife of kansas city police chief todd hunt was riding on our christmas cards and she orders this photo on a customizable stamp and you can see her beautiful family standing right there in front of saint basil's cathedral in moscow. where i have been many times, it's a beautiful picture. the united states post office didn't think so and soon after she placed the order, she was told by stamps.com that the u.s. postal service guidelines dictate that all religious content is forbidden. joining me now is the attorney, and where does the stand now?

when is the last time a religious service of any great number in attendance was held at saint basil's cathedral? i think it's been quite a long time. it's a museum now. >> it certainly has been a long time but that's a problem with these postal regulations, they are so broad in prohibiting anything religious at all that they would encompass something such as the cathedral in the background, even though it's not being used as a cathedral anymore. >> laura: under what constitutional or statutory norm are they operating? this is not establishing a state religion, even by by the most amorphous or as squishy of task tasks, that the supreme court established. it seems like a good fall squarely within free expression rights under the first amendment. so i don't get it. they could probably throw a

picture of someone at hooters and that's not okay but you can't have a cathedral in the background, i don't even understand the argument. >> you can read all the facts and interaction at our website, but here's what's interesting about this. the postal service prints religious stamps, they are just saying that you are not allowed to. they passed a religious regulation that went into effect in 2018 that said nothing religious can be on a customized stamp and the postal service even responded to us today, they said you can't have anything religious on a customized stamp. we will sell you our religious stamps, but you can't have one. >> laura: first of all them madonna stamp is always sold out. every time i try to buy them for christmas cards, they have beautiful stamps but not the one i happen to want. although i do like that one. listen to the usps policy on customized postage. acceptable images or text may not contain content that is

unsuitable for all ages and audiences including any depiction of political, religious, violent or content. how is religious lumped in with violent and content? >> i guess religion is the new pornography for the postal service. but here's what great about the postal service. they don't have to go through real complicated rural process. >> laura: well, it's got to be changed. this is lunacy. it has to be done away with. and a radio legend help me signoff my last radio show today. you don't want to miss it. last bite is next.
