has offered more leadership in one day or week than president trump has in his lifetime on this subject. >> why did no democrat step up and vote for it? >> i like your new background on your show. it's very kind of other worldly. >> i picked it out myself. that's a total lie. >> i like it. it looks good. great show. i'm laura ingraham. this is "the ingraham angle" from washington. we now know when we'll have answers about the abuse of the fisa court to spy on the trump campaign. plus, what don't the media and the democrats tell you about child separation under obama? newt gingrich is here to expose it. also, what is the president's

past victory in 2020? and an 11-year-old little girl says she was shamed by her left-winged teacher when she proposed writing a pro-trump report for school. her parents are steaming mad and here to sound off. but first, persistent versus the resistance. that's the focus of tonight's angle. after spending a few precious hours watching the attorney general testify today before the house budget committee, i thought one thing. why on earth did bill barr volunteer for this type of abuse? leaving the comfort of his retirement just to have to answer to some of the nastiest people on the face of the planet? he badgered barr on his synopsis on the mueller report. >> all we have is your four-page summary which seems to cherry

pick from the report to draw the most favorable conclusion possible for the president and make definitive conclusions. >> laura: a knee-jerk liberal? >> your conclusion is something we've seen before. in june 2018, you wrote a memo as a private citizen and a former attorney general to the department of justice, laying out the president's case against obstruction of justice. your addition clearly went well. >> laura: your addition clearly went well. wouldn't you just love to read bill barr's subliminal thoughts about that entire charade? i would pay big money for that. the attorney general didn't need this. he already was attorney general,

don't forget, almost 30 years ago when he was a lot younger and probably had more patience. like so many others in this administration, they all left their very comfortable lives and moved to washington to help solve problems and make a difference. that's what civil service is supposed to be all about, isn't it? but this is what they deal with instead. like alex at a recent senate hearing about the detention of alien kids. >> we are getting 300 to 350 unaccompanied crossing the border every single day right now. these are 10, 12, 13, 15-year-old kids. they're coming across the border by themselves. >> what is the capacity of the child prison system that you're seeking with this money?

>> you keep saying prison system. if you have an alternative approach, please tell us. >> let me explain it to you. >> laura: i loved it. that's what every cabinet secretary should do in these hearings, turn the tables on these people. >> if child detention or separations are so offensive, hey, why don't you change the laws? better yet, seal up the border and end this travesty altogether. now of course, congress does have legitimate constitutional obligations to do proper oversight of the executive branch. i'm all for it. but what the democrats have been doing isn't oversight. it's character assassination, either of the president himself or anyone who works for him. look at what the jackals did today.

get this. we have a categorize on our southern border and all mshe cares about is taxes. >> as i said before, we will follow the law. >> you're not afraid that you will be filed if in fact you release the returns? >> i'm not afraid of being fired at all. i said we will follow the law. >> i'm very pleased you're not afraid of being fired. >> >> laura: she went back to her favorite category. i'll take russian oligarchs for 500. >> i don't believe i ever met a russian oligarch. >> so you never had any conversations with mr. victor or anybody about sanctions, is that correct? >> that is correct. i've never met either of them. >> no, no, not met, but had a

conversation period. >> i've never had any conversation with either of them. >> okay, let us continue. the gentleman from north carolina is recognized for five minutes. >> laura: by the way, that went on longer there. she is just a complete and utter embarrassment, along with pelosi, the co-ruling queen of the resistance. how is any of this helping their constituents? the answer is it's not. the republicans are also called the gop. i'm thinking democrats should be called just up, as in the unserious party, because for more than a year, the trump team undertook the painstaking process of doing things like renegotiating nafta. canada and mexico both signed off on it.

so why hasn't nancy pelosi called it up for a vote? because she's unserious. she's parroting bogus concerns of her buddies over there about labor laws and mexico. >> it's a big issue how people are -- workers are treated in mexico. and to lift up our own workers, you don't do that by suppressing workers in other countries. it's an exploitation on both sides. >> laura: i don't know what that was. she and beto should get together. i haven't heard pelosi demand the same from china. the truth is pelosi wants to throw sand in trump's gears every chance she gets. if obama had doesnegotiated thee deal, she would be all for it.

same scenario is that play with the ongoing invasion across our southern borders. estimates are that this week alone, we could see 150,000 migrants overwhelming our borders. democrats just use every opportunity to grand stand for the cameras. >> homeland security is defending into chaos a major massive -- >> congress must exercise its duty to provide a check on the executive branch. >> you pretty much have to be a yes person. otherwise, you do not last long. >> neilson will be known for implementing a cool policy. >> laura: it's so bad that cabinet secretaries get berated about policies totally out of

their area of responsibility even. >> i'm dismayed to hear that you're willing to drive our healthcare system off the cliff with no plan for replacing it. >> we take legal positions in cases. >> laura: how barr remained as cool as a cucumber is beyond me. even as the hearing was ending, the chairman couldn't get the con -- >> it's very troublesome to see a justice department against the law of the land. we lean on you to come through for this country. and when we see you taking sides against the law of the land, taking sides that you may not

think is in the best interest of the american people, it troubles us. nevertheless, we want to thank you for your testimony today. >> laura: yeah, we all should be thanking bill barr and the entire trump team. the trump administration has still managed to accomplish an enormous amount for our country. mindful persistence versus mindless resistance. americans will have a clear choice in 2020. and that's the angle. now, there's a big headline out of the barr hearing that i couldn't even get to in the angle. >> the office of the inspector general has a pending investigation of the fisa process in the russian investigation. and i expect that that will be complete in probably may or june, i am told.

>> laura: my next guest certainly didn't miss that. congressman jordan, do you expect this report to bring resolution? >> i hope so. i met with mr. horowitz today. he expects his report -- he's the one that told us about mccabe who lied three times under oath, lied to the inspector general himself, lied to james comey. so we expect the inspector general to do the good work he's always done, like the attorney general said. and you're right, the attorney general has handled himself so professionally, so solid, so steady. i think what the american people want in an attorney general, i've been very impressed with him. >> laura: he made another point about the fisa abuse investigation. you guys did your own. >> right. >> laura: been calling for another one.

let's watch what barr says. >> i am reviewing the conduct of the investigation and trying to get my arms around all the aspects of the counterintelligence investigation that was conducted during the summer of 2016. >> laura: mm, tonight we learn he has a team. he's put together some team of people. we don't know who's on the team, but what do you expect? >> i can tell you, if they're near the quality of this ag, we can expect great things. he wants the truth, wherever it leads. and the second is, is that he is extremely diligent about making sure that no stone goes unturned. i mean, he's looking at everying aspect. and so this particular comment was refresh together jim and i because it goes beyond -- it appears it goes beyond what the ig ask looking into. >> he said the summer of 2016. he's going to the start of this.

that's what was so important about this. this was when steele is starting to give the installments on the dossier. they don't tell who paid for it or that steele is extremely biased against the president and that later they had terminated steele from actually working -- >> laura: they lied about carter. he's a quirky kind of guy. i went through the oligarchs, all these people. "i never met him." this is the lynchpin of some big election manipulation. it was ridiculous. he was used as a lever to get -- >> no, no, you're exactly right. i think one of the interesting things is four different fisas on carter page and no indictment. comb on. >> laura: what i talked about on the angle, i'm very serious

about this. the fact that a man like that who was attorney general, he was a ceo of a top telecom company in the world, internationally acclaimed, incredible person, had to put up with that and still has to put up with it, not oversights but abuse. this is abuse. this is what nadler and schumer are saying about him. let's watch. >> he is a biased person. he is someone who an agent of the administration. he's a political appointee of the president whose interest he may very well be protecting here. >> i don't think barr has been conducting himself in a manner that earns people's trust. color me dubious that he's going to be fair. >> one of the interesting things when we look at that, jerry nadler says this for television, but in private he's the opposite. there's two nadlers out there. the one that wants all about transparency when he comes before the american people, but in the privacy of rooms where

jim and i have been, he wants to make sure that everything is protected and orchestrated just the way he wants. it's time that we peel it back. >> laura: what do they expect, that be the ag was going to be chosen by nadler? it's trump's chosen guy, duh. >> bill barr's a good man doing a good job. these guys can't help themselves. think about last week. nadler does his subpoena for the mueller report even though barr said he will give it to us in a matter of days. two letters to the bank and the accountant of the president seeking his private business records. and he says, i want his tax return for purely political reasons. they're completely focused on that and not doing what's best for the country. >> laura: crisis on the southern border, 150,000 people they estimate would be coming in just this want, and they want the tax returns? >> these are 2020 subpoenas.

they have nothing to do with transparency. >> we've got a plan that we're going to really make sure that we hold cohen accountability. >> laura: a prison ministry, what are you all doing? >> seven times to congress. two are are just indisputable, that we're talk about that tomorrow and be joined by the minority leader mccarthy. >> laura: fantastic. they did 40 interviews over the course of your own investigation? >> yeah. >> laura: well, i'm glad you met with the inspector general. that is a good little tidbit tonight. remember those reports last week that the mueller team was not happy with barr's summary letter to congress? well, it turns out they had a chance to review it, the mueller team, but they declined? >> mr. mueller's team did not play a role in drafting that document, although we offered him the opportunity to review it before we sent it out and he

declined that. >> laura: boom. fox news contributor, saul. why would mueller not want to read barr's synopsis before it was released? >> well, i think it injects him into probably in his mind, into a political function that really is -- i mean, the attorney general is chief law enforcement officer, but he also plays a political role. that's barr's function. once mueller said i'm not going to make a decision, i don't think it's his function to review that. by the way, if he did review it, he would become political. if he reviewed it and didn't have a problem with it, the democrats would attack him. so i have no problem with mueller declining to review it. i do have a problem if any of his people leaked their unhappiness with attorney

general barr to the press. but remember, barr made it very clear in his letter. he said, mueller isn't making the call, but mueller took all the obstructive acts, the allegedly obstructive acts and set out both sides of the question, both sides of the issue, the side that would this might be obstruction and the side that would argue against it. we're going to see all that. barr did not suppress anything. there's nothing wrong with that letter he wrote. it's an interim report, that's all. >> laura: i did this on the angle. they badgered him on this summary. he basically said he went to great lengths not the really summarize but to use as much of the language from mueller himself as he could without revealing redacted material or potentially redacted material. he said no material was even flagged for redaction and thus he was kind of in a bit of a

bind, but he decided to release the four pages in the interest of public disclosure, because he knew the public wanted something. but he basically said, let's wait until the whole thing comes out and then we can have further discussion. i know you were keeping your eye on a d.c. circuit court opinion about grand jury materials. it's interesting and i want you to explain it to us. >> it came out just a few days ago. it's a historian that wanted grand jury records released from 1957 and the district court said, you know, i have the inherent authority. i don't need the rule. district courts have the inherent authority to release grand jury materials. the d.c. circuit overruled him a couple of days ago and said, no, you don't. if it's not a judicial proceeding under 6e, you cannot order the release of grand jury

materials. what that could essentially mean is that even if barr wanted to, he doesn't, but even if barr wanted to go to the court and get a 6e exception, he probably couldn't get one in d.c.. >> laura: we didn't play this sound bite, but they pressed him on it saying, why didn't you go to the court and ask for certain information, or will you go to the court? he said, i don't have any plans to. he said, why don't you go to the court? he said, if you have an issue, i'll review it with you and if you make some good case -- so they raised that but they didn't get into the d.c. circuit decision. and ahead, exposing how the democrats in the media continue to cover up the obama administration's role in child separation at the border. fact from fiction.

voter? some trump voters turned against republicans in 2018. that's a fact. how are you going to bring them back? >> there was a lot of people that said from '14 to '18 that suburban white women left. they didn't. different types of people come out for different types of cycles. now, look, i think the president has done things. if you look at the budget, with family leave, i think if you look at what we've done in the way the president is pushing socialized medicine. >> laura: what do you mean socialized medicine? >> pushing against that, meaning that do these moms really want their kids sitting in lines waiting to say, hey -- >> laura: but they freak out. the women freak out because of the tweets, the tone. i always say, look, that's part of who he is. he connects with the voters that way. that's how he does it. but for women, it's like they love the charming trump, with

the arm around someone, a little self-deprecating, which we see. but women like that kind of charm. obama had it, clinton has it, and trump does have it. how does he deploy it more effectively? >> maybe that's something we need to show more. one thing i say when i interview is how great he is in person and how funny. he's actually a fun guy. and he really likes people. >> laura: but he sees it as a sign of weakness to come out on stage and be too jokey. this is serious business. i'm the president and i'm going to kick blank and take names, which people actually like. but this election they're not going to be caught off guard. >> we don't know what's going to be on the other side yet. i think this president is one of

the best marketers in american history. i think he understands the people and how to communicate to the people. he's going to move in a way based off of the other candidates. i think he's going to stay strong. he's fighting for this country. he did this for no other but to save the country. >> >> laura: one of my colleagues on fox was talking about, maybe he really doesn't want to run in 2020. others have said that. is there anything to that? >> we're building one of the largest political campaigns in history. i go in weekly and give these reports. he would be wasting a considerable amount of time, which he does not like to do. >> laura: so, we can put that to rest? >> yeah. and i hope so, for my own job's sake. >> laura: yeah, what are you going to be doing? politico reported that some

advisors are telling the president to hold off on 20 rallies. is that accurate? >> i don't think that's accurate. what we talked about doing is mixing official events with campaign rallies. he needs to get on the road also and talk about all of his achievements and get out there and do those things. but rallies aren't going away. we're going to continue to be out there. the president is going to get out there and engage with people. >> laura: so you're getting emails at these rallies. >> cell phone numbers. >> laura: now, people say brad is so young. he's like the tech guy. they said in 2016, who is this guy? and then he ends up winning. and now we understand other campaigns are trying to find their own brad. they're bradding it. >> i became a verb. >> laura: scaling up. >> they all talked about how the president didn't know how to run a campaign.

now they're trying to copy his campaign. i wish they would copy his policies because he knows the right policies to fix the country as well. it's i -- ironic they've chosen this. most of us have our own individual track. it's not by an address. we create our own maps and steps across the internet and we track that. >> laura: one candidate you're focused on? >> i just said, today i said i had to go to the office to find a bigger binder to track all these candidates. it's going to get so thick. i'm flipping through the pages. i don't see a clear person stepping up to the president. new mexico, minnesota, new hampshire, nevada are think are

good places for us to be right now. it'll be a good night if i get more than two. >> laura: i know you're at the air force base. >> early tomorrow morning. >> laura: and an 11-year-old student says she was shamed by her teacher for choosing trump as the subject of her school report. her parents are here to sound off. ♪ ♪ ♪ i got it! what? what? l.a. bookers book apartments and vacation homes as easy as hotels. ridin' scooter! l.a. baby! l.a. baby! be a booker you're welcome. at booking.com

up. up. down. down. ah ah! that's one. up. that's two. down. down. get down, get down. >> laura: i learned about this over the weekend, and i was just infuriated. an 11-year-old girl was told she had to write a report on her hero. she quickly chose president trump, president of the united states, someone she has admired since third grade. but her teacher says no. shamed her in front of other students and warned bella to choose a different hero. the school district superintendent telling "the

ingraham angle" -- bella's parents join me now value >> when she found out that trump was her hero, she said, you're not allowed to pick trump. he spreads negativity and he says bad things about women. and i was like # floored when i heard that. >> laura: well, for a little girl to have the poise to not just buckle under the pressure and actually come home and say, mom, dad, this doesn't seem right, that's what actually gives me a lot of hope, is that your little girl said, no, i'm not giving in. that's pretty unusual, i have to

say. >> well, i'm going to say this to you. my daughter called my wife during the school day to let my wife know that. and the upsetting thing to me, which i actually found out later, was that not only was my daughter told that she couldn't do that, but she had to go around and pick somebody else as her hero. when my daughter spoke to my wife -- yes, somebody else's hero. >> yeah, go around and choose -- >> laura: and didn't somebody in the class also pick obama and that was okay? >> yeah. >> apparently, yeah, mm-hm. >> laura: naturally, that's a shock. >> so, my outburst at the board of ed meeting had a lot to do with that because --

>> laura: are you both satisfied -- sorry to interrupt, but are you both satisfied with the school's response here? i tweeted out your reaction. >> absolutely not. >> laura: okay. what do you want from the school? they seem a somewhat apologetic. >> i'm just going to say. the message that you just played, my wife and i have never heard. >> yeah. >> now, listen, we love our community. and we have a lot of support within there. my daughter is one of four kids. we have three boys also. the school -- we've always had very good experiences. and this one is a little sour. >> laura: valerie, how important do you think it is for parents to speak out when this kind of stuff happens? because it happeningss happens

time. >> i think it's extremely important. and i am very grateful and happy that this story has gotten as big as it has because this story needs to be told. and i'm very proud that my daughter knew that that was wrong and called me during the school to tell me this because, let me tell you, laura -- >> laura: you taught her. >> right. and if she didn't tell me this, she wasn't doing trump. she's able to do trump because of me and my husband, not because of the school, the district, or the district. because we raised holy hell about it. and this is an in-school project. >> laura: we're going to try to get the teacher on the show and see what she says now that she maybe has had time to reflect on it and we'll check back with you because we're going to keep tracking these types of stories across the country. thank you both for joining us, and give our best to your daughter. and up next, the inside story of

>> laura: ocasio-cortez's shocking primary victory, the

results of leaving research on the table. a new book reveals how crowley's refusal to challenge aoc over legitimate issues might have not only cost him the seat but set the democratic party on an irreversible radical course. trace. >> hi, laura. you know the book is called "the hill to die on." and it lays out his his congressional seat was safer than fort knox. by 2016, he was among the democratic party's elder statesman. he eventually decided not to go against pelosi. but by 2018, methods much more concerned about raising money for his fellow democrats than defending his own seat. even when he had heard that a 20-year-old bronx bartender had

gained enough signatures. but the book's authors also note that ocasio-cortez had no problem going after crowley, attacking everything from his voting record to his residency. it says that it was an open secret that crowley lived with his family in suburban virginia, not in queens. and in their only debate, ocasio-cortez zeroed in on that point. but crowley thought that going dirty against ocasio-cortez would be a sign of weakness. and the book says he had plenty of fodder he could have used against her, including that her campaign used tactics to evade campaign finance laws. >> laura: thanks so much. maybe he will primary her tonight. the last bite, next.
