11:00 pm
hope you had a good night. laura, take it away. >> laura: you were great. >> that is a high honor coming from you. a you have a meaningful memorial day weekend. this is a fox news alert. less than two hours ago president trump issuing a memo calling for the declassification of all materials related to the potential spying that occurred against the trump campaign during the 2016 election. rudy giuliani was on the show last week telling us it was coming.le true to his word, this decision has come down. there are a lot of unknowns at this moment about the timeline and when we will have access and you will have access to these documents. what in fact will be revealed? for what lawmakers hope to find we are joined by mark meadows chairman of the house freedom caucus.
11:01 pm
what is the most important thing we can learn from these documents? >> obviously, the beginning of what happened, but ultimately what we are hopeful to see is really the president has been talking about spying, i p personally believe there were electronic surveillance meanss that were deployed with the trump associates. >> when he said wiretaps, they laughed at him. >> they laughed at him. i put out a tweet today, james comey has changed his story a number of times. originally it was we didn't spy or wire tap, he will change it again. he will say we didn't break the law when we spied because i think the american people will see that very soon. additionally what we have to find is the additional documents in terms of what they knew, when
11:02 pm
when that they knew it. the fisa warrants, the very first was predicated on something they knew was false and i knew before they made the application. >> laura: will we learn more about what russia really thought about carter page? >> we will learn more about what i thought about carter page -- >> laura: someone not to be this nefarious spy guy who will help them. >> i am 100% confident that you'll find that the information given to carter page was just a ruse. when we look at that, you're going to find declassified documents that indeed carter page, christopher steele and number of those, it was a planned, organized effort. >> laura: george papadopoulos that was the beginning we think of the real effort to get deep in this campaign. they used him as a conduit inside, a special informant
11:03 pm
working for the government. we didn't really know much about that until recently. what do you think he might learn . >> we will learn that very early on, they knew that he was not a problem and they continued the investigation and then they knew that christopher steele and his documents were not credible and they continued the investigation. this is all about the president keeping his promise to the people and i applaud him for doing it, exactly what he said they get declassified and lets the people judge for themselves. >> laura: you are getting push back tonight. >> i can't imagine. >> laura: jerry nadler,your old pal. let's watch. >> it's part of the trump and republican plot to dirty up the intelligence community, to pretend that there is somethingd wrong with the beginning of the mueller investigation and to persecute and bring into light the intelligence agency. >> laura: to persecute intel? >> i can tell you that his goal
11:04 pm
is to restore the reputation for the fbi and doj. honorable men and women who worked there, a few people aten the very top that i can tell you, jerry nadler -- w it's interesting. he doesn't want to see classified documents when it may help the president. he wants to see them when he thinks, emphasize "thinks" it would hurt the president. >> laura: richard blumenthal also reacted.he let's watch. >> i am baffled by this memorandum. there seems no reason for it. agencies have a legal obligation to cooperate with the attorney general of the united states and it seems much more like an effort to distract with frankly a rusty object. >> i disagree with that. here's the interesting thing the declassification helps the inspector general to a report that all americans can read.
11:05 pm
more importantly there are people he cannot get to, this memo tonight says ag barr has the ability to go into the intelligence community and get to the genesis of it. i applaud him. >> laura: why should they be beyond reproach? what happened to liberals beingd suspicious of too much power in the surveillance? i remember when they cared about civil liberties. >> they do when its facial recognition but when it's helping this president they don't care as much. >> laura: thank you. on the big news rocking washington. the disgraceful game being played by d.c. democrats over immigration as nancy pelosi and the rest of her out-of-control cohort obsess over the president's mental state congressional subpoenas impeachment, america is being put at risk from a horde of humanity at our southern border. to give you a sense of how bad
11:06 pm
things are, tonight i want you to listen to the acting secretary of homeland security kevin mcaleenan earlier today.en >> this is the third time i have been in a leadership role during the immigration search at the d border. in 2014 and 2016, we have more than doubled those two crisis combined in the first seven months of this year.wo we are still in the middle of that effort. >> laura: he will be here live in just a moment. we have seen a two consecutive months with border crossings totaling more than 100,000. can't even wrap your mind up about this. we reported from there and we try to bring you the story, this means that in the course of this year, a million border crossers will have entered the united states and most of them of course will be released. as a reference point that is
11:07 pm
more than the population of six u.s. states and washington, d.c. do you think our country can handle that? do any of you want that? do you want to pay for it? instead of sticking around d.c. to pass a bill that would provide aid to our border efforts and actually fend for children who have no place to stay, democrats would rather log ghoulish accusations. at the administration and the men and women working to keep our borders safe. >> we now have a list of the numbers of children that have died in custody, we should all be outraged. >> the evidence is clear that this is intentional. it's a policy choice being made on purpose by this administration. >> why do people think this administration is intentionally harming children? look at the harm done to children. >> laura: all these people should be censured. it is disgraceful they would say that with politics as it is. here's kevin mcaleenan.
11:08 pm
thank you for being here. what is going on here? the accusations over the last two days that you have to endure this, that you are intentionally keeping kids in this precarious situation. you have some children who have died in custody. >> it's a sad state of affairs in our politics but we have anus actual crisis and solutions on the table and clarity of what the men and women on the border need and that is the thing we are hearing. >> laura: you need beds and facilities to house what you predicted, you predicted that if we didn't get the money to house these people, we would have kids on the floors and whatever you can provide at border patrol facilities or intense. did you get the beds? >> no. >> laura: this is unbelievable! >> these are beds for children who are coming unaccompanied
11:09 pm
our responsibility and our human responsibility to take care of them and we ask for that funding. we put a solution that would end the crisis to begin with. >> laura: so people understand, crossing the border they would not be processed and released, they would be processed and they would be adjudicated at the border? >> they would see a judge and get a fair hearing, if they had an asylum claim and only 10 percent do they would be allowed to stay and this flow would drop immediately. >> laura: it would drop overnight. >> it happened in 2014. we did the same thing then. >> laura: right now we have recrimination in politics. it is finger-pointing with theni most heinous accusations being leveled at you. if you could get one thing, one thing tonight, what would it be to solve this problem? >> one thing? i would change the law on the
11:10 pm
families so we can keep them in custody. we have had 70% in the last couple of days. we need to address that. >> laura: how many do you have in custody? the unaccompanied minors?>> how many in your custody?e babies all the way to 18 years of age, correct? >> most are 13 to 17 teenage boys. we have about 1800 in custody. >> laura: where are they living? >> our police stations designed for adults. >> laura: how much does that cost? i was there, they're not meant to hold people. >> we are using a huge portion of our operating budget on caring and feeding, we are supposed to be on the border protecting people. they are doing care transportation, hospital watch for unaccompanied children.th >> laura: we saw them. falling out of the boat. we witnessed this. hhs is supposed to pick them upl after how long? >> it's supposed to be within the 72 hours. >> laura: do they have
11:11 pm
anywhere to put these people?pu there is no where to put the people and congress wont allocate the money and you are the bad guy. someone explain the situation to me. this is really ridiculous. right now the president has decided, they are trying to impeach him and he is doing a cover-up. things look like they are stalled. what will this mean as the hot summer months kick in? it's already hot down there. what do you expect to see?d. >> even though we provided solutions to congress we will not wait for them to act. i'm going monday to guatemala. i want to take this fight to the cartel.e we are bringing hhi agents with the forces to try to stop this at the beginning. we are working with the government in mexico with the same thing. people profiting from human misery, we can't allow that to go on anymore. at the border, try to get judges down there and get people there.
11:12 pm
>> laura: what about the story about the plan to send people around the country? that was blowing up the internet over the weekend. 300,000 sent to florida. people from florida are messaging me going, what are they doing sending them here? nobody wants them, not my backyard scenario. >> i understand the concern these communities don't need an influx of migrants and everybody is overloaded across the country. what we are doing is trying to manage that in the border environment first and foremost. we have stations that are full in south texas, el paso, we are transferring and moving migrants from stations that are overloaded and moving them to san diego where we have more capacity, moving them to the sector. that is how we are trying to manage the capacity issue. we have no plan to move migrants to florida. >> laura: i want to get your response to this disturbing
11:13 pm
headline. infectious diseases, a rising threat among migrants at thehe border. i saw a lot of people coughing when i was there, a lot of children. the agents who are donating their own children's clothes and bringing in diapers and formula with their own money. it's like teachers buying school supplies here. how big of a concern is thee health risk both to agents, to the community that are observing this? >> it is significant and i've been talking about it since december. e we are seeing younger children arriving sicker every single day. we had an outbreak yesterday the infectious disease with the teenager who passed away on monday. a bad strain of the flu. h1n1. we have seen measles, mumps folks in custody that are quarantined. it's a tremendous challenge. we have a huge medical effort with contract support from the public health service.
11:14 pm
this is overwhelming and when smugglers are keeping people in close quarters in mexico and stash houses, it exacerbates. a >> laura: 120 people in the back of a truck last week i think it was, ten days ago. that is horrific. >> it's very dangerous. the temperature in that truck was 98 degrees. >> laura: we have folks on television who are turning this into a hysterical issue as far as blame. this was on msnbc. >> this is our responsibility as a country and as a nation. we are not being given answers as to what is happening to a small, young children, to teenagers, to girls, to boys wht are being taken away from their families, from their parents and left alone in our custody. ivanka trump, jared, get to him. >> that is not happening. we are separating children in maybe one case a day out of the 3,000 families arriving.
11:15 pm
it's for the safety of the child first and foremost. a prosecution for a serious criminal offense, being a threat to the child, disease or someone who was presenting a family relationship that doesn't exist. the other thing on the health care, we are doing everything we can to take care of these children as they arrive. we have had over 150,000 kids processed in the last three months, our agents are doing an amazing job. >> laura: do you think the new rule that was released today that sponsors of illegal immigrants who will have to guarantee they will pay for their health care? they will pay for their other costs which is a law right now but not enforced. is that a good idea? will that bring down the illegal immigration? >> i think we are looking to tightening our enforcement that haven't been enforced effectively in the past to make it harder to be here unlawfully. those are important steps.
11:16 pm
>> laura: e-verify?ur >> absolutely, we support it. thank you for seeing our men and women. >> laura: my angle asked this question, is nancy pelosi okay? mike huckabee is here to respond. you don't want to miss this one. mike huckabee is here to respond. respond. if you don't want to my experience with usaa has been excellent. they really appreciate the military family and it really shows. with all that usaa offers why go with anybody else? we know their rates are good, we know that they're always going to take care of us. it was an instant savings and i should have changed a long time ago. it was funny because when we would call another insurance company, hey would say "oh we can't beat usaa" we're the webber family. we're the tenney's we're the hayles, and we're usaa members for life. ♪ get your usaa auto insurance quote today. you wouldn't accept from any one else. why accept it from your allergy pills? flonase relieves your worst symptoms including nasal congestion, which most pills don't. flonase helps block 6 key inflammatory substances.

11:20 pm
♪ >> laura: the great nancy pelosi crack-up, the focus of the angle. nancy pelosi doesn't seem well. the nancy pelosi i remember it was a hard-charging congressman with big, bold ideas. although republicans opposed her obama tax and spend, the stimulus or her obamacare cramdown, at least she was doing something. now she spends her days obsessed with president trump, mutteringe and sputtering. >> these could be impeachable offenses, but i intend -- the three things. you might understand it if you remember these three things. t >> laura: no.
11:21 pm
here are my three things, nancy. number one, when you cannot produce a coherent thought, maybe it's time to hang it up. number two, you've had a gallow for four months and you have nothing to show for it but resistance. number 3, you as leader of the democrats are doing a grave disservice, real damage to america by repeatedly refusing to recognize the legitimacy of the duly elected president of united states and his appointed cabinet. think about this. both joe biden, the 2020 front runner, and speaker pelosi are not just out of step for the american people on key issues to watch and to observe them, we see that they have lost a step or two or three period. they look like they belong in commercials for visiting angels
11:22 pm
they shouldn't have their hands on any levers of power. stay away. yesterday she seemed to struggle with the whole subject, verb direct object thing. >> as you can see, the distinguished leader on the appropriations committee, the senator -- >> laura: joe biden? that situation is getting worse by the day. >> the country wasn't built by wall street bankers, ceos and hedge fund managers. the same is happening in big hospitals. i think we have to rethink how we define what constitutes a successful economy. >> laura: [laughs] can you imagine? him going up against the president of china?
11:23 pm
who would help us? pelosi is now the leader of the do-nothing party. come on. this is beyond obvious. think of one issue like illegal immigration and the border crisis, democrats alone are to blame for the shameless overcapacity situation at our station, we just talked about that with the secretary. the horrendous effects of the crisis and what it has on the health and welfare of americans and illegal immigrants. no one should leave town for memorial day parades or fund-raisers or vacations until the necessary fixes are put in place for our border. instead, this is her focus. >> i do think that impeachment is a very divisive place to go in our country. if we can get the facts to the american people, it may take usn to a place that is unavoidable.
11:24 pm
in terms of up impeachment or not. we are not at that place. >> laura: investigation? what a fraud. apparently it wasn't enough to waste $35 million with taxpayer dollars and two years of time democrats feel like they will do a more in-depth investigation than the special counsel with how many, 19 lawyers including many democrats? they will do the real investigation on capitol hill. they couldn't investigate theirm way out of a paper bag. this is all politics. nancy pelosi will continue to do what she just did in that sound bite. to dangle the prospect of impeachment, to mollify her nasty base of radicals and course to irk the president. this is the most serious concern of all, she is chipping away at the foundation of our constitutional republic. when one side loses the other side accepts the outcome of the election. i remembered when they are wondering if trump was going to accept the outcome if hillary won, now the shoe is on the
11:25 pm
other foot. democrats have never seen trump as a legitimate president. the queen of san francisco has picked up where the deep state left off. >> i pray for the president of united states. i wish his family or his staff would have an intervention for the good of the country.y. maybe he wants to take a leave of absence, i don't know. >> laura: maybe you need to take a leave of absence. is she actually questioning his physical or mental condition when we have basic verb conjugation problems up there on capitol hill? if anyone needs to have a timeout, it's pelosi who has abandon the party of jfk to the party of aoc. the president apparently is seeing what i am seeing. >> i've been watching her and iw had been watching her for a long period of time, she is not the same person. she has lost it. >> laura: that is the angle.
11:26 pm
here now to react as governor mike huckabee, the former candidate and fox news contributor. did pelosi change or did the modern democrats change her? >> i nearly lost it when you said that joe biden and nancy pelosi look like visiting angels, that has to be the funniest line i have heard and several months. absolutely fantastic. i do think nancy pelosi is struggling to try to maintain some order. she is trying to hurt the green flies and i use that term deliberately. this is a real tough spot for her. here is the thing that i love what president trump has done. he is not allowing her to go out there, call him a criminal saying he is committing crimes by covering things up and then walk over to his house and look
11:27 pm
him in the eye and pretend that she wants to do some legislation. he is calling her out. he is not playing this ridiculous d.c. semantics game of saying the gentle lady from california, there is nothing gentle about the lady from california. >> laura: here's the historian elevating the san fran gran nan. she is an historic speaker. she is the glue keeping the whole washington scene together. >> laura: what is this? >> i think the glue has lost its sticky. there something going on. the democrats have nothing right now. the mueller report left them hanging and so now they are a bunch of kids who are looking for easter eggs on the fourth of july. they just won't let this go. it's making them look more and more ridiculous.
11:28 pm
there was in fact a conspiracy a cover-up and an attempted coup but it wasn't conducted by president trump or candidate trump. it was conducted by the highest levels of the u.s. government when barack obama was president and when you had names like brennan and clapper and mcgahn who were leading all of these institutions. >> laura: they are worried about this clearly. these documents are going to be declassified and we will see a lot more about the origins of this investigation with george papadopoulos and all of the characters, it will be like a james patterson novel by the time it's all over. >> they need to be worried because i think what they found in bill barr is a no nonsense law guy, he believes in the rule of law and he believes it applies to everybody including the president, but the best attempt
11:29 pm
after $35,000,000, 500 witnesses was that they couldn't find anything that would make donald trump be criminally liable or even in any way liable and so now they are just reduced to howling at the moon and that is what they have been reduced to. frankly, it's embarrassing. >> laura: meanwhile we have really important crises at the border, trump said today nancy doesn't understand the situation and she needs to learn what the new trade deal would do for the country. she is not interested. she is interested in resisting and appealing to the aoc base of the democratic party. you see her struggling.c it's like an internal struggle for relevance, memory, i don't know. it's a combination of a lot of things. i'm not a psychologist i can't unpack it. great to see you as always. thank you so much. >> i will call the angels and tell them to get over to heru house right away.

unarmed citizens responded to that car bomb attack in 2007 and is in a u.s. federal prison as we speak. prosecutors in the media say this is a clear-cut case of american contractors stepping over the line that they are still subject to u.s. law and law in foreign countries may have to suffer the consequences >> i say the law has to apply tf everybody but what didn't happen here is the law. this investigation was performed by a colonel who was tied to terrorist allegations and the fbi didn't turn up three weeks later. they accepted this as presented to a jury of washington, d.c. seven years later. they put lipstick on a pig and presented it as a fact and that is a problem for us. the case was dismissed after the first three years for reckless violations and only came back after political pressure from the government. >> laura: you heard military
