makes pie. she proved that to the fake new. but it is what it is. our promise, we are going to investigate the investors, we will never be the rage trump media mob and let not your heart be troubled, there she is, laura ingraham. >> laura: that was a nice moment today with the president. i got a little teared up watching it. they were both a little emotional. >> sean: your name was circulated at one point for the job. remember? was that true or fake news? >> laura: i mean, now you're putting me in the hot seat here, hannity. >> sean: oh, excuse me. you're going to call me out because i had a little verbal slip of the other night. >> laura: hannity, wouldn't it be fun if you and i could tag team, for one week in the white house briefing room. just for a week. that would be fun. >> sean: you think -- [laughs] this is a dumb question. maybe we will get special permission.

>> laura: [laughs] what? okay. >> sean: there might be a few newspeople that get a little tough to upend a little angry over that. >> laura: just a little bit. hannity, great show and i. >> sean: a great show. >> laura: thanks, i'm lauren ingram, this is "the ingraham angle" from washington tonight. ahead, fbi and legal experts along with governor mike huckabee explored today's burning question: whether it's okay for a president to even look at, consider looking at, opposition research or tips from a foreign country. plus, speaker pelosi has a new nickname for senate majority leader. well, mitch mcconnell, the grim reaper appeared tonight, mitch mcconnell tells me exclusively why he might be embracing that new nickname. also tonight, a can't-miss debate on a radical group pushing something called drag

queen story time at children's library. plus, ed henry brings us a report you will only see here regarding how obama handled overcrowded migrant snatchers. but first , democrat's phony foreign outrage. that is the focus of tonight's "angle." last night, i told you that i thought the white house made a rather unfortunate decision giving abc anchor george stephanopoulos two days worth of access to president trump. after traveling on air force one to iowa, the former bill clinton calms director chilled with the president in the oval office, where he found he is only possible vertical inch advantage over the commander in chief. >> if foreigners, china, russia, someone else offers information on an opponent, should they accept it or call the fbi? >> i think you may be to both. i think you might want to listen, there's nothing wrong with listening. if i thought there was something wrong i would maybe go to the

fbi if i thought there was something wrong. >> laura: of course, trump off the cuff seems to be more like kind of a flick off. it sent democrats and their press poodles into the stratosphere. >> it disintegrates at the very core of what our democracy is about. we have a president of the united states who is not playing on america's team. >> confessing his immorality, his corruption, his thuggish and ash. >> accepting assistance from a hostile foreign power like russia is treasonous behavior. >> laura: foreign interference, treasonous, democracy in peril, oh my! oh, my goodness. susan rice, that was a great one, saying her pop up in that montage. apparently, we are to believe that president trump said what he said in order to, what, invite on camera foreign governments to help him win reelection?

again, all in plain sight? i'm not saying that the president should've may be handled the question slightly differently, maybe you should've. but let's not be foolish over the democrats suppose a concert of a foreign interference in america's business. first off, it was hillary clinton's campaign itself that paid for that phony russian dossier hawked by former british am i six officer christopher steele. this was all filtered through the sleazy research firm, fuson dps, run by the ever shady simpson. you may have forgotten that nellie ohr, the wife of doj bruce ohr worked at fusion and met with trump dossier author and former british spy christopher steele the day before the fbi launch. so, where was congressman nadler's outrage?

>> i don't know what any of this means, it may be public relations, i don't know. >> laura: and why no nancy pelosi press conference, demanding to know what obama officials knew and when they knew it. >> i don't know what that is, what are you referencing? >> laura: this was russia making salacious claims about an american presidential candidate in the heat of a very contentious campaign. now, i would argue that donald trump has always been very open about his desire to play hardball politics to win, you saw that on camera, but the clinton team was always in concealment mode. they were aided and abetted by an obama doj deep state that was desperate to see to it that trump was defeated. then after he won, that he was removed from office. all the feigned outrage from democrats over foreign interference, it also made me

think of something else. when was the last time you heard democrats complain about what the chinese have been up to here in america? >> as of the u.s. scrambles to learn the extent of a massive theft of personnel records said to have been stolen by china, nbc news has obtained a classified government report that shows a remarkably pervasive reach of chinese cyber spying nationwide. this national security agency map shows a red dot for every successful computer intrusion by china over the past five years. nearly 700 with computer attacks in every state. >> laura: i mean, that report went on and on. does that look a little more pervasive than all the claims of russian interference and meddling from some facebook hackers in basements in russia? you bet it does. that report doesn't even address massive efforts by the chinese to steal are very sensitive

intellectual property, or infiltrate america's premier research university. the democrats to demand retaliation, or hold endless hearings after china stole all those personnel files customer from the office of personnel management? this all shows us that the democrats are really worried about foreign countries meddling in our affairs, they just saw this yesterday as a convenient way to resurrect the mueller investigation, and maybe even push their leadership to take up impeachment hearings once and for all. and may be, in an odd way, this kind of ill-advised interviews with george stephanopoulos will end up forcing the democrats into the corn of the nancy pelosi hoped to avoid wasting the nation's time with needless politically-motivated impeachment hearings during an election year, and that "the angle" ." like i said at the top of the show, we are going to dig into

three distinct elements of this debate. first when we are tackling is the fbi's perspective. joining me now to walk through all of this is former assistant director of the fbi. all right, chris. what role does the fbi play in vetting research from overseas? >> well, they ought not to be messing around with opposition research, at least in using it in any official documents. i mean, it's the absolute pinnacle of hypocrisy to take that information and use it and then say -- or take the statement that the president made today and turn it around on him. it is not illegal, per se, to accept information from a foreign government. >> laura: the idea that the president knowing he is on camera, saying, okay, china, russia, whatever, give me

information because i'm not going to tell any authorities that i'm going to put it in my campaign documents or campaign commercial? it's just ridiculous. he spoke to george stephanopoulos as he speaks to anyone who asks him a question and he said, i'll look at it. i want to play something to you from senator john kennedy who entertained the same question. let's watch. >> unless they are dumber, usually spies don't come to you and say, i'm a spy, i'm from russia and i've got under on my opponent. so, you have to listen a while to see what they are up to and then make a decision. that's all the fbi, i think most people would. >> laura: he said he would call the fbi after listening and that is pretty much with the president said. he said i don't know, i would probably listen first and maybe call the fbi. but the idea that you would rush to the fbi hotline because some

random official from another country says i saw so-and-so drunk two weeks ago at the palm, this is ridiculous. >> it's real fact-dependent. he would have to know that this person is a foreign agent and their purpose was to disrupt an election or some other espionage purpose, so it is real fact-dependent. it is not illegal to simply have a conversation with someone about the election, about even dirt on someone relating to an election. they haven't built the politician who won't accept in an election cycle. >> laura: it could be just gossip, and the media was awfully quick to shut out any comparisons between what the president suggested and what hillary clinton did, watch peer to speak of these two things, the dossier and what trump is talking about, these two things are not the same. >> christopher steele, a former spy for the british intelligence services. >> britain was not a hostile

foreign power that was interfering in the election. >> this erroneous parallel between the steele dossier and what the president seems to be talking about here. >> laura: what about that? dismissing any concern about a dossier. first of all, calling it a dossier is they want to use it to affect the election, but that there was no comparison once again. >> i held my nose and read the dossier once again today and it is chock-full of information, supposedly from russian government officials, high-level government officials who speak to putin every day and get direct information from him. i counted five or six of those references to those high-level government sources. let's face it, the president loves to chum the waters and get the press spun up. he is probably responsible for chuck schumer and nancy pelosi being on blood pressure medicine and he enjoys it. this is what he does. >> laura: chris, thanks so much for this perspective and the potential legal issues

surrounding the president's comments. we turn to attorney robert rae, whitewater independent counsel. robert, the focus now is on the section of the u.s. code that reads, it shall be unlawful for a foreign national directly or indirectly to make a contribution or donation of money or other thing of value in connection with the federal, state, or local election. so, what the 11 was entertaining in that clip that we play it, would that be a trigger of the statute? >> i don't think so and i think it's clear that that's the case. you don't have to listen to me, this was an issue that was addressed by none other than bob mueller himself in connection with the june 9th meeting at trump tower involving trump jr. and wondering whether or not the dirge regarding hillary clinton constituted

an illegal foreign campaign contribution, and the issue of whether or not opposition resource would be sufficient to trigger a felony violation of the statute. that answer is emphatically no. don't take my word for, that is bob mueller essentially saying it's in the report, go look. pages 183 to 188 in the first volume of bob mueller's report. >> laura: one of president obama's close friends, lindsey graham, he made an interesting comment about this, let's watch. >> i think it's a mistake. i think it's a mistake of law, i don't want to send a signal to encourage this and i hope my democrat colleagues will be equally offended by the fact that this actually did happen in 2016, where foreign agent was made for by a political party to get it research. all those things are wrong. >> laura: he says it is a mistake for the president to answer the question as he did. i don't necessarily think it was

a mistake at all. >> i agree, i don't see that at all. opposition research, remember, if you try to make the argument that opposition research can be considered an in-kind campaign contribution, be careful what you ask for. there are significant first amendment issues -- remember, campaign finance laws would apply to any campaign contribution, and the notion that you would allow a contribution because of the fact that it is opposition research, especially because if all its reporting is factually accurate information, from whatever source, whether it's foreign or otherwise, the notion that that would constitute an illegal campaign contribution has some significant applications, not the least of which is that it may well be a violation of the first amendment. i would be careful about jumping to that conclusion. >> laura: i was surprised lindsey graham said that. thank you so much.

onto the final piece of the puzzle, the political considerations. joining me now is fox news contributor, former governor and presidential candidate, mike huckabee. all right, someone who has sought to the highest office in the land, like you, what did you think of the president -- let's first talk about the president's language yesterday in answering that question. >> i think what we have to remember is he was talking hypothetically about something he might do, not something he has done. and the real question is not what somebody might do, but it is what somebody already has done. namely, when the fbi, the intel community and the dnc and hillary campaign did in fact try to solicit information and got it from foreign sources, that really ought to be the question people are raising. >> laura: governor huckabee, the democrats are so -- they really are shameless on this. what the chinese have been up to to, all of our country and the issues you've talked about for

years, stealing or intellectual property, stealing our supercomputing technology, forcing tech transfers overseas as american companies, our university's hacking personnel files? democrats, it's like crickets, you don't hear anything from them. but now, trump answered a hypothetical it's like, start the impeachment hearing. it's unbelievable. >> people forget that donald trump has been far tougher on russia, iran, china, everyone of our trading partners including mexico in order to bring for america the best deal possible. ought to be applauding him, giving him a standing ovation because he is standing up to the people whose jobs are at stake in this country. instead, they nitpick him to death over some interview he had with george stephanopoulos yesterday. >> laura: by the way, would you have george stephanopoulos hang out in the oval office and on air force one for two days customer i don't understand that, i don't get that why is that in any universe a

good idea? >> it wasn't a good idea, i don't know why he was given that level of access. i think part of it is the president is fearless when it comes to reporters. he's never afraid of talking to them, he speaks to them almost every day and then they complain they don't have press briefings but the fact is they get the president himself, something they didn't get under the eight years of president obama. they ought to be grateful of that. instead, they whine. >> laura: i went back and watch some of the old war room documentary and he did a really good job. he did a great job for bill clinton and '92, but there was a reason ryan previous didn't want him to moderate one of the big debates in 2016. it's not because he is not a nice guy and they don't like and personally -- i like him personally. but he is a partisan. >> most of the people in the news media -- >> laura: i'm not going to moderate a debate in 2020. speak about rachel maddow is. think about that

here's the thing, many of the people and press positions for the national networks have worked for political candidates campaigns and officeholders. for them to even present that they are journalists, objective, i don't pretend to be objective, you don't, either. need to do sean or a bunch of other people. some of them pretend that they are, they are not newspeople, they are political people and they need to admit it and be editorialists. >> laura: know what you are in for. finally, the president shared a really nice moment with your daughter, sarah huckabee sanders, who is stepping down as press secretary. let's watch. >> she is a special person, a very, very fine woman, she has been so great, she has such heart. she is strong but with great, great heart and i want to thank you for an outstanding job, and thank you. >> laura: i got teared up watching that. i mean, you must be emotional.

the president is saying you've got a run for governor of arkansas, anything you can tell us tonight? >> i don't think she has made any decision about her future, she just wants to spend a little time with her kids and we think about the future. he has launched her ship whether she likes it or not. but the one thing i can tell you, she loves this president, she has been absolutely loyal to him and will continue to be and i think one thing she is looking forward to doing is being able to set the record straight about what a remarkable person he is, how well he has treated her, how much in command and control he is and so much of the things that are said about him in the press. just untrue, and she has been there first to witness it and i look forward to her telling the story. and on the payroll of the federal government, but just as a person who truly appreciates and will forever be loyal and grateful to donald trump as president of the united states. >> laura: that affection was really obvious today, it was a nice moment. all the sniping by the press

that continued after that moment with the president. governor, thank you so much and zero huckabee would win the governorship of arkansas hands down if she wanted it. even though the name is a bit of a handicap. [laughs] governor, thank you so much. just kidding. speaker pelosi used her press conference today to tee off on a new target, mitch mcconnell. guess what? he joined us next to respond. - [voiceover] this is an urgent message from the international fellowship of christians and jews. there is an emergency food crisis

for elderly holocaust survivors in the former soviet union. - this is a fight against time. what we're dealing with is coming out, meeting someone who's 85, 90 years old, can't get around, has no food, has no water, and just wants to give up and die. and that's where we come in. we are called to comfort these people, to be a blessing to their lives. - [voiceover] for just $25, we'll rush an emergency survival package to help one desperate elderly person for a month. call right now. - [eckstein] call the number on your screen. - in ukraine, there's no supper network. they don't have food cards or neighbors that come in to help. they're turning to us

because they have nowhere else to turn. - [voiceover] your gift is a life line to help these elderly jewish holocaust survivors, help them to live out their final years with dignity and love. call right now. - [eckstein] call the number on your screen. - what i pray is that you won't turn your eyes, but you will look at their suffering and your heart will be changed. - [voiceover] with your gift of just $25, we can rush an emergency survival package to help one desperate elderly person for a month. call right now. - [eckstein] call the number on your screen.

absolutely right. for the first time in my memory, i agree with nancy pelosi. i am indeed the grim reaper when it comes to the socialist agenda that they have been ginning up over the house with overwhelming democratic support and sending it over to america, things that would turn us into a country we have never been. they are on our way to doing things they have already done, the green green new, medicare for all -- by the way, you may have mentioned this on your show but they planned to make the district of columbia state, two new democratic senators, puerto rico, two more democratic senators, and as a former supreme court clerk yourself, you've surely noticed that they plan to expand to the supreme court. this is a full socialist march on the house and the outcome as long as i'm the majority leader of the senate, none of that stuff is going anywhere.

>> laura: is there anything that can get done for the good of the country with this hot political climate that we are in? we are going to talk about this crisis at the border. what we are seeing with people coming across the border, several hundred just in the last few weeks from african countries now? >> i can tell you what we are going to do on the humanitarian part of the problem down to the border, senate democrats insisted on stripping that out. i think it's fair to say the president has had more cooperation from the mexicans that he has from the house and senate democrats so far in dealing with this crisis. >> laura: the other thing we are hearing a lot, even from some of your republican colleagues is this concerned that you refused to move legislation that would protect the country from future election meddling. "the new york times" writing today, partisan politics is a reason mitch mcconnell is standing in the way of better election security. for him, all that matters is a

win, and if he compromises and corrupts our democracy. senator, that is what they are saying about you. even marco rubio wants some legislation. >> what nonsense. i think you ought to compare the 2018 election when the trump election was in charge to the 2,016th election when the obama administration was in charge. any stories about the last election? just a handful of minor stories. this administration did a terrific job of working with state and local officials to make sure we had an honest election in 2018 with minimal to no interference. where is the applause for that? i'm open to considering legislation but it has to be directed in a way that doesn't undermine state and local elections. the democrat would like to nationalize everything. they want the federal government to take over the election process because they think that

would somehow benefit them. election security, i do care about. but we need to make sure the subjects of election security -- >> laura: senator, the big news yesterday was when george stephanopoulos titled around the oval office desk and presents this scenario to the president where foreign government comes and plops down research about his opponent in the president said, well, maybe i will go to the fbi but i would probably listen to the information. do you have a problem with that answer? because the democrats seem to be taking that and saying, we told you so. now it's on to impeachment. >> they just can't let it go, laura. i said weeks ago, case closed. we got the mueller report, the only objective evaluation that will be conducted. nobody has any confidence that the democratic house is going to engage in any kind of appropriate oversight. the case is closed, why don't we move on and solve the border

crisis and prove to the mca that a trade deal with mexico and canada? [laughter] we have work to do. >> laura: do you think the president made a mistake in the way he answer that question when he said maybe i would, maybe i wouldn't. i would hear them out. would you answer the question that way? >> he gets picked at every day over every different aspect of it but the fundamental point is that they are trying to keep the 2016 election alive in the investigation alive when the american people have heard enough. they got the mueller report, they would like for us to do some business. i would ask the democrats in the house this: is there anything you're willing to do other than harass the president for the next two years? anything at all? >> laura: finally i want to turn -- with all the confirmations, the successes you've gotten through. and president trump has always been pretty transparent about potential nominees, however, i think the left is basically getting ready, as you mentioned earlier, trying to pack the

courts in the unlikely event that they win in 2020. it's all being funded, we found out yesterday, by dark money groups, whose names we won't know, are not going to be revealed, and this counts as a claim, a former obama and clinton aide warns "the next decade could feature a radical right supreme court that could eradicate gains and prevent political action." so which is it? will the courts to be champions for the left or too darn far right? speak of the kind of people we've been nominating believe in the simple, quaint notion that may be the judges ought to follow the law. i am amazed that that is controversial, but they are being upset about it reveals that they want the judiciary to be just like our legislative body. and have outcomes in mind before they've heard the arguments. according to the nominees, not only did the president make two great nominees and neil gorsuch and brett kavanaugh, but we are

making an important difference for the country that will last for a very long time and my motto for this congress is leave no vacancy behind. insert the judges or district judges. >> laura: senator mitch mcconnell, thank you so much for as many time with us tonight, we appreciate it. >> thank you, laura. >> laura: after a texas city shutdown a children story time hosted by drag queens at a public library, a radical church stepped in to save it. but why? where else is this happening? an opponent and a christian supporter will debate the drag story time next.

♪ >> laura: your local library is a wonderful resource for school aged kids, reading groups, mommy and me classes, arts and crafts programs, and now? drag queen story time. speak of the transition from nightclub to libraries has

been absolutely overwhelming and astounding. you may be a child in the audience that is feeling a little different and now he may see me, or she may see me and they may think, wow, i see someone who is comfortable feeling different and is okay with it. >> laura: when texas decided to put an end to this, citing upset citizens, a left-wing church stepped into hosted the event this weekend. what happens there? joining me now to debate is arthur, director of mass resistance in jonathan merritt, a progressive christian writer and author of the book "learning to speak to god from scratch." what is your group's main objection to these drag queen story hours that are popping up all across the country. >> think you for having me on the show, i'm the organization director for mass resistance, we are the international pro-family group that makes the difference.

we've had parents contacting us all over the country about these perverse programs. the bottom line is this, you have adult homosexual men, adult entertainers going into a public library reading to children. that should not only be setting off alarms but people should be demanding this to be canceled even before it starts. we're not talking about diversity, we are talking about deviance, perverse, destructive lifestyles being animated or advertised to children as if it's normal. >> laura: hold on, are you saying that gay people can't read to kids ever? we're talking about a very specific issue with drag queens. that's what we're talking about so try to keep it focused. >> we're talking about drag entertainment here, drag entertainment. this is adult illicit entertainment, to put it mildly. we are having these entertainers

reading to children? why stop there? one i have pulled answers story hour? how about porn actor story a request mark this is what you want children experiencing? >> laura: this is how this whole start to come i want to go to you because you support these events, this is how the washington post described what is happening in this controversy, the organization drag queen story hour started in late 2015 in san francisco as the country's reinvigorated right wing was coming into form. but it has found many fans outside traditional liberal cities, milwaukee, new orleans, mobile, alabama, and san marcos, texas. this all began in san francisco. this wasn't a local person who wanted to help the kids. this is organized as an attempt to advance a particular agenda

or viewpoint or understanding, and beginning in san francisco. >> yeah, to me where it began is really irrelevant. the question is what's happening in these events now. i think you have a lot of people who are upset about it. they are upset about it because, and your guest i think articulated that perfectly, that they are disgusted by certain people in society. by the lgbt community, by drag queens -- who by the way, are not always a part of the lgbt community. and they feel that their children will be contaminated if they come into contact with these people. i think that is not a mainstream view. i don't think even many conservatives agree with that anymore. >> laura: what is the point? i get what you're saying but what is the point here? what is really the point quest market there are a lot of people that are different. people that you probably wouldn't want to come in and do

story time customer, trying to compare them, but there are drug addicts -- wait a second, arthu arthur. speak of this is ridiculous, a lot of people are opposed to this. >> laura: i'm talking to jonathan. not everybody would welcome that in a library, traditionally. >> if you read the stories that are coming out about these events and you listen to the individuals who are actually reading the stories who speak for themselves, they are saying, we were looking for a way to give back to the community. we are entertainers, we dance, we sang, we make merriment in various establishments but we were looking for a way to give back and they wanted to pour into the children of their communities. these events are voluntary, nobody's children are being forced to go and sit in front of a drag queen and listen to a storybook. they're going there because they want to give back to the community and i think anyone should be able to do that. >> laura: absolutely, there's

a lot of ways to get back to the community. arthur, close it out quickly. >> you know, there are normal ways to do this. we are not talking about needing, a bible class, were talking about degenerate, perverse entertainment. not only that, not one but two sex offenders were exposed at one drag queen story hour in houston, texas. that is what our organization revealed. mass resistance with the california chapter. >> laura: hold on -- here's one thing i don't like on this show, when people bring props. okay? >> this is what people should be reading -- >> laura: okay, i got it, i got it -- this is not a segment or promote a group. we are trying to figure out what is really going on here. people have legitimate concerns on both sides of this issue. what is the point of doing this with kids? is there a point? that is what we are trying to find out tonight. we appreciate it. and president trump, by the way, is hosting a really great event, beneficiaries of his criminal

justice reform law. a brand-new set of poles spell danger for democratic candidates and african-american voters.

>> we are here today to announce a vital new action to help former inmates achieve their wildest dreams, we are taking

steps to cut the unemployment rate for these individuals to five years. >> laura: while president trump was taking steps for the plan, new poll spells trouble for democrats among african-american voters. the black economic alliance found that between 27% and 33% have reservations or are very uncomfortable with cory booker, beto o'rourke. joining me now, ceo of the ynez now television network and south carolina television candidate. let's start with you. is this an issue of the specific candidates -- or is trump making some gains in the african-american community? >> it is clear that president trump is making not just some gains but huge gains.

i believe that the black vote in this election is truly up for grabs because they have been hearing with the democrats have been saying but doing no action, but now they are seeing president trump doing things. this is unheard of. you're telling me that president trump, the racist donald trump, is now helping inmates, when they get out of jail, to stay out of jail by making sure that they get a second chance at life. it is not an accident at this is donald trump's first chance at helping minorities and people who have been forgotten by giving them a second chance at a real life. this is unprecedented and i believe the black vote is up for grabs. >> laura: your reaction? >> u.s. to very specific question, was this poll directed at specific democrat a candidates quest wreck yes because that same poll, which i read, said

that 75% of african-american support joe biden. so, they like a candidate, they just don't like cory booker and kamala harris. african-americans have said we want joe biden. secondly, regarding the comments, the first step of releasing these individuals, how about a job. you know why? these employers will still ask you, have you been convicted of a felony question i guess, you will get the job, so president trump, the second ste step. >> this is why he is making a right to work initiative. you need to go read what it is, the department of justice and the prisons, a new ready to work initiative connecting employees to -- >> laura: at leo, hold on. hold on, joe biden has his own problems in his own past about certain issues -- today it was

not just a throwaway event. this was another incredibly important step to helping people who are the most marginalized, and for people to kind of just blow it off and say, well, why didn't everybody do it. but he gets zero credit and that is ridiculous. >> first avenue, great, but here's the question the pastor won't answer. if you are an employer, have you been convicted of a felony and you say yes, you don't get the job. you've got to remove that barrier and that has not been done. i'm saying, we need a second or third step. that is the key. unable to get jobs. >> laura: at least he has us on a path here. >> >> i've got to say this quic, president trump is getting the most credit.

this is the first, second, third act. >> laura: we will continue this conversation, thank you both. up next, the media flips out for a story that they say proves
