reality. another viewer added the better question is, what is the best part? answer, it shows the american people how out of touch the left is. we'll not be the hate trump media. let not your heart be troubled. laura ingraham up next. great interview with the president last night. >> laura: great show. good for you. anyone who steals medicine from an individual, i mean that's. >> sean: once you realize what it was maybe you would find a way to return that. >> laura: yeah, lower than low. >> sean: that's what criminals do, they don't care. >> laura: thanks sean. i'm laura ingraham, this is the "ingraham angle," live tonight from dallas. the democratic party isn't just the party of open borders. it's now the party of anti-semit anti-semiticism. yes and the president is weighing n we'll get to that ahead. plus it isn't just the republicans saying they the found no evidence of russian collusion, wait until we reveal why the resistance might be

feeling a little burned tonight. beto o'rourke spoke at an anti wall protest last night. he ignored our request for an interview. nach, but we crashed his party. raymond arroyo was there and he brings his report later. first the border wall becomes the border stall. that's the focus of tonight's angle. i hate to tell you i told you so, but, i told you so! when the white house and the gop failed to act on the trump immigration agenda in the first 100 days of his presidency, his pledge to build the wall would be jeopardized. trump's in be i shall instinct was to veto that omnibus bill last year. i'm telling you are, he was right there it then. but paul ryan and mitch mcconnell promised to get the wall funded in full in the lame duck session if necessary. big shocker, that never

happened. if speaker paul i need to speak weekends at home ryan handed the majority to the democrats, well the president faced an even higher wall of resistance. a lame border deal was announced right before the president took to the stage in el paso last night. by the morning the details started trickling in. >> president trump: i have to study it. i'm not happy about it. it's not doing the trick. i'm adding things to it. when you add whatever i have to add, it's all gonna happen. we're building a wall. and now i'm saying we're finishing a wall. >> laura: well that won't happen though not unless the president finds the money elsewhere. or declares a national emergency, which will immediately be challenged of course by the left in court. and tonight after speaking with one of the republicans architects, richard shelby, senator from alabama the president tweeted was just presented the concept of the

border security deal by hard working senator richard shelby. looking over all aspects, knowing this will be "hooked" up with lots of money from other sources we'll be getting almost $23 billion. regardless of wall money it is being built as we speak! we'll get into that in a little bit. what is really in this deal? the official language hasn't fully been released. i love this, trying to rush it through it. here are some of the basics of the deal as reported. $1.375 billion for barriers that are not called but look a heck of a lot like the steel slanted structure, barrier that trump had already approved. second an average daily cap of 40,520 beds for detaining illegals. that's almost 9,000 fewer than we're detaining now. but trump would have the authority to boost that number,

pulling the money from other sources. now, there's more to it, too. but it's simple to see what's going on here. the democrats ultimate goal is to codify catch and release. where if an illegal makes it into the country, he or she will be welcome to stay, along with any child he or she brings with them across the border. now what does this do? this is not a difficult concept, right? it only encourages more illegal immigration. now remember, the president asked for $25 billion last year for the wall. and a bunch of other reforms as well that made a lot of sense. but the dems wouldn't budge on issues like chain migration or the diversity visas, they the wouldn't go near it. then in december, moving into the lame buck session he asked for one-fifth of that! [ laughter ] i'm still pretty good at math,

sort of. it's five billion of the 25 billion. he perhaps thought that would become such some type of annual wall expenditure. not a fat chance. i have to look at the glass half full here. the currented deal just expose just how far left the democrat party has gone on the issue of illegal immigration. they've gone from this: we simply cannot allow people to pour into the united states undefected, undocumented, unchecked. >> an illegal alien should not be treated the same as people who enter the u.s. legally. we must on control your borders, must protect our borders. >> laura: to this: we know that walls do not save lives. walls end lives. there is no bargain in which we can sacrifice some of our humanity to gain a little more

security. >> laura: oh really? so walls kill people! well last year there were 1247 people slaughtered in a vashs fashion many of them by the cartels and other criminals across the border in juarez. that was a 62% jump from the year prior. it's a killing field there. so beto can't possibly mean we should tear down the current wall in el paso, can he? well think again. remember this gem that then congressman o'rourke sent out in 2015? it read tear down this wall! oh boy! that's a keeper! well i can tell you that the people we met in el paso last night disagreed vehemently. an under reported fact is about half of the audience at the trump rally were themselves hispanic. and they most certainly do not want the wall between the cartel run juarez and el paso torn

down. no way. they love their peaceful community. it was a really fun place to be. we loved meeting the folks we met there last night. they don't want any part of juarez's way of life with we head goes and bodies dumped in the street. >> president trump: last year juarez had 1200 murders. el paso, right next-door a few feet away had 23 murders. walls work. actually, there's nothing like them for what we're talking about. we want to stop drugs. we want to stop traffickers, we want to stop criminals from coming in. walls save lives. >> laura: now of course as much as we wish things were different, the fact of the matter is, trump is vowing to continue this fight. right through the 2020 election, about the wall, and keeping our country safe. and another shut down would have

probably ended up hurting the president, distracting from this booming economy. we're here in texas, it is off the charts. and there's a lot of other great news as well that would be distracted from if this thing continued and a shutdown formed. including the china negotiations going on right now in beijing. let's not forget while trump isn't getting everything he wants and definitely not what most of us want, democrats are also breaking pelosi's pledge. is there any situation that you would accept aefeven a doll of wall funding in order to re-open the government? a dollar? [ laughter ] no. $1? yeah, one dlafrment. >> laura: well, try $1.375 billion! she might not want to call it a wall but that's what it is. and that's not all bad. and that's the angle. here now live from capitol hill

rex tillerson congressman chip roy of tension text and congressman mcclint to be of california. you have reservations about this train work. what do you say to those that think well, that's the best offer out there and it's better than another shut down with the president getting beaten up every day? good evening laura, thanks for having us on. i wish i was in texas instead of here in the swamp. i'm forced from trying to make republicans not make a bone head deal quote unquote. we should be focussing on the fact that the american people are with us. i was just down in the rio grande valley last week visiting with border patrol. we see 400,000 people that are going to be streaming across the rio grande. 200 thousand will not be apprehended, 200,000 will, we allow catch and release to govern our border. the cartel have control of our

border. this deal isn't doing the job. it's the base line. we need the money necessary to the border patrol down on the border without the radio signals they need and the ability to stop the flow, and where fences are in place they work. we've seen a 90% reduction where fences are in place. it's time to do our job. >> laura: we have a limited time. let's move the conversation forward. that has already been established. you're right about that, 100%. congressman mcchildren tovenlth your governor has pulled back his national guard troops from the border. he made a big stink of about that when we're not talking about the bullet train fiasco that blew up today. this broke from the "washington post" moments ago. the bill was still being written tonight, tuesday night and law makers from both parties were pushing to include a number of favored provisions. those two or three called pork provisions. well some democrats wanted to add language that would provide

back pay to federal contractors who were caught in the middle of the recent shut down. it's unclear if law makers would be successful in getting the provision included. now i'm hearing tonight that that could destroy any possibility of this thing even going forward. but people have to understand we don't even have the language yet and we know stuff gets slipped in, congressman mcclintock at the last minute, it happens every single time to the american taxpayer. your thought laura as long as the democrats control the house nothing good is going to come out of the house of representatives. as long as the republicans have given chuck schumer and the democrats a fill bus search veto over any roappropriations bills we're not going to get a good bill through the senate. the president has statutory authority to the move ahead with the wall. he can draw $13 billion to do so. he has the legal authority to do so. he has the responsibility to do so.

and ultimately that's the only way the wall is going to be built. >> laura: well i understand the white house counsel's office is looking at a provision of the u.s. code i think it's 287 that would allow the president to move money into wall building that has a relation to stopping the flow of drugs across the border not only that, but he can reprogram unobligated military construction funds for that purpose. that law dates back to 1976. it's been invoked 58 times, including for the civil war in sierra leone. that is clearly a priority national defense issue. and the president has the legal authority to declare it that and pull those funds from other military construction projects and put it into the most important project we have, the defense of our southern border. for those that say that, what's more important, securing the border of iraq or the border of the united states?

again 60,000 people a month that are now illegally crossing. >> laura: and now, everyone has to understand who is watching the show tonight, everyone has to get, congressman roy i want you to chime in on this, that nothing in this proposal would deal with the family units crossing the border. the democrats are so dishonest on this, and the republicans frankly dropped the ball in the first 100 days. republicans should have handled the president's agenda and he should have insisted on it. that was his instinct and he listened to paul ryan and that was a huge mistake. these family units are going to be crossing the border and released. huge influx into this country. today the "washington post" wrote another piece about it that's absolutely correct. the asylum issue and the flores decision, the judicially created monday da torii catch and release is the core problem. we have to address that and not

allow the judges to decide how we're going to secure our border. the things we're not talking about is the extent to which the car tell have literal operational support of our border. we're not allowed to travel. that's an emergency level kind of operation that we're dealing with at our border. the president is right to be focused on. that congress ought to do its job and step up in having the obligation to second cure our border. >> laura: gentlemen, thanks so much. we'll have you back as this continues to develop. after early morning criticism some gop office pushing back against me specifically as it relates to ice and the detention beds. they say despite the claims from the democrats in the media that this package will end up providing more beds than were requested in the president's budget sins dhs and ice can use all the transfer pre

reprogramming authority they're given. does that sound like gobbledygook? we're joined by tom homan former acting director of ice. tom who is more accurate here? you. you. >> laura: the people who are upset or yours truly? you. i watched the republicans say what a great deal this is. they can put lipstick on a pig, it's still a pig. this is a terrible deal. for them to stand there and say hey look what we've done, it's a shame. they got filleted, and they lost. and like you said early yes the funding of ice for seven thousand less beds than they have right now. this is going to cause ice to release criminals. that's just the truth. they're not funded properly. >> laura: right so they have no place to put them. that's what democrats want. you expect that from the democrats, tom, but you don't expect the republicans to try to make nice with this. i get it, they're going to try to move money around. i understand that. but when push comes to shove,

when you have an influx of people crossing the border , 200 here, 300 here in arizona, new mexico last week, you had all these big pockets of people crossing at one time, what do you do with them tom? here is the problem. the republicans don't understand it because the republicans on the negotiating committee didn't even talk to an ice agent. an ice officer or budget person, no one from ice was briefed or allowed to brief this committee. so they don't understand. when they talk about moving money around, we do that every year. we have reprogrammed money every year but one. they never funded ice at an appropriate level. that will means taking money from the coastguard, fema, secret service. it's ridiculous. fund ice at the level they need. ice asked for 52,000 beds and justified identified it on paper. right now they're holding 49 and the they're releasing people as it is because they don't have enough beds.

family units are being released from california, new mexico and arizona because there's not enough beds. the message the democrats are sending if you enter this country illegally, as long as you don't commit another crime in the words of the chairman of the house committee you're hey law abiding citizen and i can't touch you. >> laura: basically you will not be deported. they're saying, the republicans are saying, because they're hearing from people like me, they're saying no we're going to get up to 58,000 beds. >> sean: where? >> laura: you're saying that's just bull. >> sean: yeah, where is want money coming from? show me on paper where that money is coming from? you've got to take it from some place. are you going to take it from the coastguard, tsa or fema? it's ridiculous. >> laura: i want to play mcconnell first because again if mcconnell green lights something, president agrees, it's going to go through. let's listen first of all i hope he signs the bill.

and second i think he ought to feel free to use whatever tools he can legally use to enhance his effort or secure the border. so no i would not be troubled by that well one i hope the president don't sign the bill. and second of all, it's his job to fund the government and to pass legislation. the president shouldn't have to find a work around because they failed at their job >> laura: thank you. well, when i heard that, tom, i said wait a second, that's a cute little trick. well i hope the president does what we couldn't do when we had the majority in the house and the senate. the president was told tom, repeatedly that he was going to get the money in the lame duck. they frankly lied to him h they did not tell him the truth. he should have never signed that omnibus spending bill. that was a scandal last year. his instincts on this, he reads these situations well. his instinct was right. quick reaction, menendez wants

everybody to back off on the dui issue. convictions for the illegal immigrants as grounds for deportation. and you say? i mean are you kidding me? 10,000 a year die from dui. 28 people a day die from dui. i would rather put an illegal alien for dui than white collar crime. dui are you kidding me? over 10,000 deaths a year. that's a public safety issue. >> laura: tom, as always, clarity, we really appreciate it, and candor. up next will freshmen democrats be held responsible? president trump called out omar to resign. one of her supporters is here to tell us why the president is wrong. a can't miss debate next. -3 medicines with trelegy.

join me now. matt let's start with you. now omar has offered something of an apology and tlaib said she does not endorse farrakhan's more continue versus alexander views. is it safe to say the democrats officially really have a problem or are they just bad at apologizing? first of all yes bad the apologizing. i think there's something more deep-seated here which is a real shift in the democratic coalition. you would have always thought jewish support and they get a big majority of jewish votes in america. but it was always so central to the democratic party. democratic consultants i've talked to, talk about shifting away from solid support for israel. you saw what happened with the iran deal. so few democratic voices stand up against that deal, they pretty much folded. now there's this embrace of more arab coalition. we're seeing a big shift in

politics. this is a moment where there's a crack up in the democratic co. litigation on issues around questions of race and anti-semitism. >> laura: katie you say that omar's comments are both non anti-semitic and you didn't have a problem with the first comment, and the apology i have a problem calling here anti-semite. she said something that thomas freed man said at the new york times an applause that baby netanyahu received was paid for by the israel lobby. a lobby uses money to influence politics and politics t apaic wants you to know that everyone who donates to apaic knows that. this is literally stating a fact. there is nothing anti-semitic in there. if you want to talk about tropes it's kevin mccarthy along with donald trump is going after omar

triggers. well that triggers a lot of people who remember the holocaust. it triggers them and i think justifiably so. here is what she said in 2012: now matt i would think most people would say that was anti-semitic. if we can't agree that's anti-semitic then i don't know what we're doing on cable news any more. to me that's kind of object youfrjts that's correct. this is what people have done. the reason there is a the zionist movement and a state of israel is because the jewish people were almost ex certainly nated from the face of the globe. they did not have a sanctuary place they could go to have their own state. there are is then at this of muslim states and arab states. there will wasn't a place if jews to be called their own. it's their land. i think it's awfully important and people shade this into discretion, the only reason why people are standing up for the state of israel is because of

quote the benjamin president, i'm christian but i'm offended, they're a strategical lie to the united states. we don't have to agree with every decision their government makes but it is wrong to attack then as a people no one attacked them as a people. i'm a jew, i'm a person. millions of jews don't support apaic this is the problem juice like me are tired of it apaic which is a small elite representation of jews. it's tiresome to have them speak for all jews let me just say this. this is the big dynamic. donald trump condemns the people in charlottesville if i could please say something p this is the dynamic p let's say stay on one top nick. >> laura: guys, guys, stop, stop. guys, guys, i love having a spirited debate, and katie i

actually love that you came on the show. i like hearing your point of view i really do. it's really hard for the viewers to get what either of it you are saying when we're talking over each other. other than interrupting you i don't know how to get it. i think i got the point from both of you and i appreciate the fact you both came on. we want to be fair about it. the left by the way has told us we're not allowed to talk about the need for immigrants to assimilate into the american culture, that, too, is racist. that's especially true as it relates to the public school system. why is assimilation in the school system controversial? it's simple but punitive. they wish to inoculate the entirely public system in the united states. even if it means a diminished product for the kids. recently it was found that 700 immigrant saturated school districts where half of the you

in the students are from immigrant households. quote: now this cannot help but to create significant challenges for schools often in areas already struggling to educate students who come from disadvantaged backgrounds. joining us now is a man behind the study, steve camerota from the center of immigration stud tells you. steve people are going to say the fact that we're talking about this is mean spirited and it's an at this hispanic and i would say we're calling you on your you know what if you say that. this is about kids and learning and the wonders of america. so what do the public education folks -- they don't seem it care about this? they don't seem to understand the enormity of the problem?

what's going on? look everybody agrees the people we let into the country we have to educate them or their children, right? that's an important part of the american dream. but the it doesn't answer the fundamental question of how many people should we let into the country? how do we enforce the immigration laws against illegal immigration. one out of four kids in public school is from an immigrant family. one-third of the kids in poverty are from an immigrant family. even in a state like minnesota you're looking at 49% of all the kids in public school in poverty, 40 pirs in poverty in the state of minnesota come from an immigrant family. so these areless important questions. a more moderate pace of immigration, enforcing our laws, more moderate pace of legal immigration, these things would tend to take a lot of pressure off of public schools, making it easier to educate the kids already here, which i think most people agree is important.

>> laura: right. well steve i think in st. paul there is obviously a very large somali population, the largest outside of somalia in the whole world is in st. paul minnesota. about 80,000 people. omar represents that community. but the question is when you have both a welfare state and public schools that have pulled back somewhat for a variety of reasons for in cull indicating those traditional american historical values, the great books, all the things that bring us all together in this common community of understanding, that is a tricky mix, is it not? open borders, welfare state, public schools that teach kids in some cases to really hate if the american founding p that's a nightmare for a simulation right. during the last great wave for example of immigration around 1900 there was a much greater consensus among the elites, including the public schools and

the people who ran the public schools, that there was an idea we should americanize immigrants. it doesn't mean just to the learn english, also means they come to identify with the country, come to see america's founding as the founding of their country as well and not see that as something that dead white men did. the numbers are so big. one of the ways at same place works is i am grants and their kids interact with so many kids from native backgrounds that assimilation becomes a fore gone conclusion. in many places most of the kids are from immigrant backgrounds. >> laura: also it's made easier not to be in your enclave when there's uni vision and tele hun doe and all these networks and technology, and it's well produced and i guess things change. ronald reagan in his final address to the american people talked about the need to teach

. >> president trump: richard burr came out after two years of investigation they found absolutely no collusion between trump and russia which i have been saying to a lot of people. this has never happened to a -- the democrats know it's a hoax. this is a political game. so now the russia thing is dead! >> laura: well president trump noting in my exclusive interview last night that republicans on the senate intel committee have found zero russian collusion. what about the democrats? well nbc news revealing, they didn't want to do it today, that after two years ands 200 interviews and your tax dollars wasted, even they had to admit, quote, let's read it, uncovered no direct evidence of a

conspiracy between the trump campaign and russia. here now to discuss sol wise enbe enberg, byron york. sol, how different might mueller's conclusions be, however, from the senate intel committee's report? well i don't think they'll be any different at all. you have to remember he has far more power, far more investigative power, subpoena power, power to compel witnesses than the senate does. and he's got a very highly trained professional staff with him. and it's been very clear to knowledgeable observers for quite some time that he did not have that case. and the reason you can tell is by looking at the various plea agreements that have been signed by people who have pled guilty. they are all crimes either that have nothing to do with trump and the collusion conspiracy or

they have to do with lying to mueller. so, i think that there's nothing surprising whatsoever about this. just surprising the way that congressman schiff tried to spin it. >> laura: alright. i have to bring this up to you by ron. when i think of the individual and sol you and i over the months have been talking about these individuals as has byron been writing about them. from people meaning john brennan who have gone on television night after night after night trashing this president and giving legitimacy to the initial start of this investigation, i want to the play something for you, this is from john brennan, let's watch. there is collusion in plain sight. donald trump at the end of july openly called on russian intelligence to find hillary clinton's emails. there were engagements at the trump tower, back and forth between individuals who were affiliated with the trump

campaign and russian individuals. that conclusions obvious and apparent. >> laura: by the way that's brennan from today. the man is unhinged and has lied multiple times before congress. byron i've heard a lot but that pretty much took the cake well brennan's comments have always been really irresponsible. any reasonable listener might conclude that he was using secret information that he had as head of the ci a that other people didn't have and that was somehow informing his comments and made them more reliable. but this new richard burr thing, the new report about democrats on the senate intelligence committee i think has really rattled a lot of members of the resistance because it came on the heels of reports we've been hearing about mueller, his investigation not finding any sort of collusion. and i think together that has been the spur for all this talk we're hearing in the house about doing their own investigations. because you have to remember, most house democrats were

depending on mueller to give them the roadmap and the cover they needed for impeachment. and the now they're thinking well what will if he doesn't? we've got to do if ourselves. you're hearing more about more and morehouse investigations. >> laura: sol, john dowd, former lawyer for the president, said that he doesn't expect mueller to write a report at all. who knows? byron, you've noted, who knows if that's the case or not? i want to get back to how this -- he calls it a witch hunt and everyone gets all upset. this thing was started on a fraud. there was no crime. there was an investigation in search of a crime. i know bob mueller, he's the best guy ever, give him the nobody bell prize for being the best guy ever, fine. this investigation started on a total fraud. the fact that this president has had to deal with this for the last two years, imagine what he would have accomplished had he not had this. sol maybe you disagree

well i don't know what he would have accomplished or not. but i think any prosecutor looking at the evidence that's in the public record about the president, would have been warranted in beginning an investigation. so i don't --. >> laura: on what basis? oh, on the basis of the trump tower meeting. on the basis of all the unusual contacts. >> laura: how is that illegal? i didn't say it was illegal. >> laura: right, but what was the basis for starting the investigation? the trump tower meeting, the fact you had a business dealing in russia doesn't mean you start a special counsel investigation! how does that just identify this? you're talking over me. >> laura: yeah. i'm shocked that you said that i didn't -- well you know i like to shock people. i don't know that it should have been the special counsel beginning it. the question is, are there things in the public record -- are there facts in the public record that would warrant any

prosecutor in saying we're gonna open an investigation? that's very different than saying -- >> laura: hold t we'll continue on this. we've got to take a break. stay there --. ime for a cracked windshield. that's why we show you exactly when we'll be there. saving you time, so you can keep saving the world. >> kids: ♪ safelite repair, safelite replace ♪

people gathered. i mean it wasn't thousands, most from california, colorado, texas and new mexico. the women owes march helped get this rally together. it was hard-core remnants of o'rourke's failed senatorial run. we talked to some of those assembled about beto's primary critique of the wall do you consider the wall racist as beto o'rourke the suggests? i see it as a symbol of hate the way he communicates it it's not the wall it's the language? >> it's the language, it's all or nothing. a wall or nothing. >> in what way is the wall racist? well the wall is a creation of donald trump's ever increa increasing send i at this and deb billitation of his frontal

they seemed like nice people but when you dug into it with them, it was trump's connection to the idea of a wall right. >> laura: are they chaining themselves to the wall on a daily basis when the cameras aren't there? no, because it actually works for the community. and as you and i found up until this morning when we left el paso, the law enforcement, border patrol, ice, all the folks we talked about 100% support the >> laura: they were adamant that this wall had to stay o a point that was made, this is because we have a large federal presence. and a large law enforcement presence in el paso. that obviously makes it less hospitable for crime and criminals it's part of the reason that crime has fallen off. >> laura: yeah, absolutely. as for the crowd sizes, it did get bigger for beto later on. he had some thousands, i don't know how many thousands, a
