work. remember, we will never, ever ever be the destroyed, rage, hate-trump media mob. just not going to do it. let not your heart be troubled by the way. we will be back here soon. laura ingraham is not next. hope you -- ♪ >> laura: i'm laura ingraham and this is "the ingraham angle" from washington tonight. we will tell you everything you need to know about last night's democrat debate, the pipe dream proposals, plans to wreck this economy, the media freak out and pandering like i'm never seen it before. so who was the big winner? we will tell you. ed henry and frank luntz. this will be fun. they break it all down. plus, he's been accused of leaking last week's ice raid to the media. he's here exclusively tonight in the only interview he's doing. the dhs secretary kevin mcallen, and he sets the record straight. also, the president is in japan for the pivotal g20 20 meeting m

rush's putin to china's' xi. we expect a lot of action. first, the race to radicalism, that's the focus of tonight's "angle." for any of you who had the misfortune of catching even a few minutes of the democrat debate last night, you'll undoubtedly agree that it was a great night for donald trump. with the exception of perhaps a candidate no one knows, kelsey gabbard, what's clear is that the democrat party has learned absolutely nothing since 2016. they completely misread the results of last election and have adopted essentially a slash and burn strategy towards almost every american tradition and common sense understanding of economics and governance.

it's most entertaining, i think, if we break down the current democrat gloominess into several moments. first, the money grows on trees mentality. >> my plan would be first firsl to community college free. >> we are supposed to be for free college, free public college, for our young people. >> universal child care for every baby ages zero to five purity universal. a technical school, to your college and for your college for everybody who wants to give it a try. >> we should give everyone in this country health care as a basic human right for free. full stop. >> health care is not just a human right, it should be an american right and i believe the best way to get there is medicare for all. >> i believe medicare for all is the way to do that. >> laura: remember, spend now, figure out a way to pay for it all later. they still think there's enough rich people to cover trillions and trillions of dollars in new

spending. i'd like to go back and see the grades of these people and what they got an economic 101. if they even took economics at all. then there is what i call the disconnected from reality caucus. at a time when 71% americans are happy with the economy, democrats have blinders on. >> we know that not everyone is sharing in his prosperity. >> i think of it this way. who is this economy really working for? >> this economy has got to work for everyone. and right now we know that it isn't. i see every single day that this economy is not working for average americans. >> laura: you get the repetition. not working for everyone. u.s. is about to experience the longest economic expansion on record and the unemployment rate is at its lowest in nearly 50 years across most demographics. but short, the economy isn't working. go with that, democrats. but don't worry, because they

always have their favorite assortment of cliches and bromides to choose from. >> we need to make sure everyone has a living wage. >> immigrants, they do not diminish america, they are america. >> diversity is a strength. >> equal pay for equal work in this country. >> laura: okay, whether they acknowledge it publicly or not, the dams now know, and everyone on stage knew that most americans think president trump has accomplished a heck of a lot in his first two and a half years, from trade deals to the economy. from judges to criminal justice reform. so this means that they have to convince you that they'll get more done. >> three things to know about me. first, i listen to people, and that's how i get things done. >> i'm one of the few candidates in this race with executive experience, with a track record of getting things done. >> i think we need to get things done. >> laura: at least delaney has in fact done something in

business. otherwise it's candidates coming undone. by the time the snoozer laptop to my stomach wrapped up, even the liberal msnbc had to admit that something was wrong. >> i'm a little disappointed. i think we needed to have more discussion on those issues that actually affected americans every single day. >> de blasio is mildly irritating to me. >> there certainly are some candidates running for president that would be great candidates. >> you have to get rid of donald trump if you're going to do any of the stuff, if you're going to talk about any of these issues in its reasonable-sounding way. >> i still in my heart of hearts don't see anyone on that stage tonight that would beat trump. >> laura: i can't believe i'm actually going to say this, and pinching myself, but i agree with donny. the democrats lack substance, know-how, pragmatism, charisma, credibility, and a connection to the american people. well, then there was this

fitting moment that many online jokes was kind of a wink from on high. >> everybody's mics are on. i think we have a -- i heard that too. >> control them, we have -- >> we have the audience audio. i apologize you guys didn't get to hear this stuff. we heard. we are hearing our colleagues audio. if the control room could turn off the mics of our previous moderator. >> we've prepared for everything. but we did not prepare for this. >> we are going to take a quick break. >> laura: the most fun thing to do, by the way it was to read the transcript and here are the underlying -- it happens, is television. can't dump on them for that. the democrats though have been on a perpetual break since 2016 and not a commercial break, a break from reality. in the american people will likely let them stay in her ultimate universe where socialism works and you never

run out of other people's money. and a ratings note, this verse democrat debate rated lower than both the democratic and republican debates in the 2016 cycle. i wonder why. and that's the "angle." as i just laid out, team trump was the biggest winner of the first round of the democratic debates. in fact, the candidates barely mentioned president. for fear that it would draw attention away from them. chief national correspondent ed henry is live in miami inside the spin room. i heard that joe biden is going to be too tired to go to the spin room, is that right? >> he saying he will come. we will see if he changes his mind. may look like he's got this rose garden strategy of not getting his hands dirty might be a bad look for him. but i got to tell you this breaking news, which is round two there have been more bad moments by the democrats. bernie sanders saying he will raise taxes on the middle class, not just the rich, to pay for medicare for all.

joe biden saying he will eliminate, repeal all trump tax cuts so your taxes will be going up if he is elected and every single candidate when asked if they would provide health care to illegal immigrants, every democrat on the stage tonight raised their hands. interesting, because even one of the many democratic candidates, john delaney, who mentioned, suggested to me after last night, round one, the president was the winner. expressing alarm about leaders of his own party wanting to dismantle private health insurance. elizabeth warren in round one, rising in the polls right now, revealed she wants to take away insurance for millions of americans and instead have a full government takeover. bill de blasio, mayor of new york of course agreed with warren and then raised the ante, saying he wants a 70% tax rate for the risk to which buried in pulliam castro one from the left by saying his solution on immigration is to decriminalize illegal border crossings. that led even john fedora to spin -- declare the president one night. "if i were donald trump's

campaign manager i would be dancing a jig because if this is the way the democrats in the media want to discuss the economy and immigration, he's going to have a field day with the quotes they will generate from now until the election." listen to some of the other reactions which sound of the, watch. >> your number one take away? >> that the democratic party is moving to the left. >> trump won. >> i'm going to say that. >> they want to do that. if they raise their hands and said they want to end private insurance. what's your message to them? >> i think my message to them politically is its political suicide. >> all right, john delaney also told me he thinks republicans literally spend $1 billion in tv ads next year showing that his party is calling for an end to private health insurance. i can tell you other people tonight double down on that. bernie sanders on the candidates saying they want to and private insurance as well. laura. >> laura: i heard that it got really ugly between kamala harris and joe biden on the issue of race.

what can you tell us? >> some of that may have happened as i was walking over to the cameras, i didn't hear the entire exchange, so i don't want to sort of characterize it, but it has been some incoming for joe biden on that and eric swallow saying basically he's too old, saying it's time for you to pass the torch to a new generation and biden shooting back i've still got my hands on the torch. he's taking fire. that exchange -- i was on the way over here so i don't want to mislead you on that. >> laura: apparently kamala harris laid into biden on the race issue and it's what's lit up the internet tonight. great reporting, as always. were going to go back to you at the end of the hour with some more highlights from tonight's train wreck. but to help us get a sense of where the candidates stood in relation to the public, let's bring in media guru and posterior frank luntz frank luntz. all right, frank, were going to break down some of the tape and i want to begin so people

understand it, so the few examples of how far left the democrats have strayed on the issue of abortion. used to be safe, legal, and rare, remember. here was hillary from 2007. >> i have tried to both talk about and reach out about over the last many years going back really at least 15 years, talking about abortion being safe, legal, and rare and by rare i mean rare. >> laura: she said it twice. here are some democrats from the stage last night. >> any limits on abortion? >> i would make certain that every woman has access to the full range of reproductive health care services and that includes birth control. it includes abortion. >> i don't believe only in reproductive freedom. i believe in reproductive justice. [cheers and applause] and what that means is just

because a woman -- or let's also not forget of someone in the trans community, a trans female, is poor, doesn't mean they should have the right to exercise that right to choose. >> laura: that still takes my breath away. a very large percentage of americans, over 80% want some kind of restrictions on access to abortion. so what is happening here to this party on this issue? >> this is not your parents' democratic party, this isn't even your older sister's democratic party. it has changed considerably and over the last two and half years it has lost the sense are both an economic policy, and as you just showed, on social policy. the question for the democrats right now is are they going to move so far left that they lose the center and have no ability to unite between now and 16 months from now. but laura, please remember, these are democratic debates, they are trying to appeal to a democratic audience, an audience

that is often atheist or agnostic or at least not regular churchgoers. so the audience itself represents -- the language they are using represents the average democrat today. >> laura: i want to talk about how much they've moved on the issue of immigration and of course moved left. there with former president obama back in 2008. >> we have the right as a country to maintain our borders and our sovereignty and what's happening is you've got hundreds of thousands of people coming without going through the proper channels. so with got to fix a broken immigration system. >> laura: got even more hard-core than that, i think of it but it's got to go home. talk about the cartels and so forth. here are the candidates last night on the issue. >> we have the power to better deal with his problems are the civil process than through the criminal process. >> go back to the way we used to treat this one summit comes across the border, not to

criminalize desperation. >> should it be a to illegally cross the border or should it be a civil offense only? >> i have believed to agree with secretary castro. >> laura: this question was once considered just ridiculous, but it seems to now be that open borders is now the default position of the democrat party, just like abortion on demand, when they were accused of that, they said no, no, safe, legal, rare. now with abortion on demand with infanticide and now it's open borders. if everything conservatives accused democrats of five, six, seven years ago, they proudly are today. so how is this going to play in the general public to >> i'm walking through the streets of new york today and i see signs that say there is nothing -- no person is illegal, and i say to you that the language is essential here. one from the illegal to illegal immigrants to undocumented worker, to know border. as you watch this process, the language is changing, the

policies are changing, the candidate positions are changing, but you know what, laura? on this, some of the american positions have changed. they absolutely want some sort of barrier. they want guaranteed security at the border. but a clear majority, even of republicans, support the dream act. our policies, our politics are changing. >> laura: that's not what we're talking about here. i'm not trying to be short with you. that's not what we're talking about. were talking about decriminalizing border crossings and i'm going to get into this with the dhs secretary in a few moments because he's going to be joining us. basically turning it into jaywalking, okay? you cross over, no problem. a little fun, you get to stay. i don't think that americans are buying into that at all, calling undocumented or migrant, i don't buy that. >> but the democrats, there is a significant, it is now a chasm between the democrats and the republicans in these democratic

candidates are absolutely appealing to their base, and their base does believe this and it's very dangerous, by the way, for me to do an interview on fox because i'm merely explaining what democrats think and how they feel. that is not the mainstream. you've given to issues where it's not the mainstream of america, but they are talking the way democrats talk, and they are talking to that community effectively. it will it work across the country? i'm not convinced, i don't think so. >> laura: so your point is, just to be clear, that this is what the democrats want to hear? >> that's exactly my point, so i don't want 10,000 emails and texts coming into the fox switchboard. >> laura: i'm jumping on you for that because i thought you were saying something different. i want and i'll get to a part of the debate that even has some democrats worried and it came from a moderator question about health care. >> who here would abolish their private health insurance in favor of a government-run plan, just a show of hands to start out with.

[applause] >> all right, well. >> laura: rode of that response only two raised their hands. bill de blasio, who is not going to be the nominee, and elizabeth warren, who may be varied so that possibility comes to pass, or frank answer could prove deeply harmful and perhaps deadly. 76% of americans, almost 70% have private health insurance plans according to the census bureau. >> and more than that, that americans actually like the health care that they are receiving right now. that we have completely upset the entire health care system to provide it to those who don't have it and a majority of the public believes that everyone should have access to health care, but with the democrats are offering, at least what elizabeth warren and mayor de blasio are offering, is the complete overturn. this is not revolutionary, this is even more extreme than that and of all the points that you raised, this is the one that could cost the democrats the

most, because right now health care is the number one issue facing the country, and they are absolutely in the tiny, tiny fraction with this idea that we should eliminate private health care. >> laura: finally you were particularly struck by elizabeth warren and cory booker's commentary on business and corporations. let's play it. >> without an industrial policy in the united states for decades. it's basically bend it like giant whatever they want to do. giant corporations have exactly one loyalty, and that is to profit. >> i think we have a serious problem in our country with corporate consolidation, and you see the evidence of that and how dignity is being stripped from labor. >> i feel very strongly about the need to check the corporate consolidation, let the free market work. >> laura: why are those comments important? >> two points, number one is watch that word "dignity." it was said several times yesterday, it's been said in the debates going on tonight. if the democratic buzzword that's going to be used often in

the next six months and second is that there is a war on corporate america and what i don't understand is how you do you declare war on your employer? on the people that create the innovation. on those who provide quality of life. i don't see how you can go to war against your own businesses and expect to get elected. that said, it's an applause line and i warned viewers out there that in the battle between capitalism and socialism, capitalism is not as strong today as it was ten years ago. >> laura: well, i also think it's a pathway to nationalizing industries. if you really want to take the historical outlook on this, you demonize business enough, keep people angry, the economy goes down, then forces moving to perhaps corporate nationalization. that's where a lot of people think this is going, frank. that's not black helicopter stuff, that's what's happening

in other countries. >> then it's essential for the business community to stand up and explain what economic freedom, not capitalism, but economic freedom, is essential to the success of this country in the business community stays silent, no one to blame but themselves. >> laura: i would say remember what trump said. economic patriotism. companies standing up for american workers, and also not being so eager to go to places like china, which is one of our actual real military adversaries. that's part of it. if you send all your stuff overseas for long enough, people are going to start hating you. so now there's some wisdom in the economic patriotism argument of trump. he'll probably save capitalism by appearing a little more patriotic when it comes to these issues. great analysis as always and now onto a fox news alert. this is a live look at osaka, japan, at the international exhibition center for the official welcoming ceremony for the g20 summit. in moments, the world leaders will gather for this group

photo. the going to be in costume? chief white house correspondent john roberts is live in japan. john, i've never got to say that to you. it live in japan. what can we expect? great to see you? >> you could have set it a month ago too because we were here at the end of may for president trump's visit with the new emperor of japan. we are not going to see them and the funny shirts. that usually happens at the aipac and the aussie on conference. today they will just be in business suits or they will be in dresses. all of the leaders of the nations. there were supposed to gather about 7 minutes ago so things are little bit delayed. what it is, the official welcoming ceremony in class photo. all of the leaders have been flying in. yesterday, some of them arrived just this morning like vladimir putin and they will assemble, take the picture and go out to the first session, on the digital economy and artificial intelligence. president trump has been very, very busy this morning. he started off at 8:30 japan

time, which would have been 7:30 at night there in new york or washington with a bilateral meeting with the g20 host shinzo abe, the prime minister of japan. a little bit of a dustup that the president had with japan on the way over here, the president talking about the mutual defense pact. if it's not really a mutual defense pact, more of a one-sided defense pact that was struck back in 1951. the president saying that if japan gets attacked the united states has to come to the aid of japan but if the united states gets attacked, be handed to mike, japan is not beholden to do anything. they can watch the whole conflict unfold, he said on the sony tv. that's at the japanese officials to say while the arrangement is not necessarily equal, it is balance. don't forget that president trump and shinzo abe are very good friends, so he was probably a little surprised with what the president said, but at their bilateral meeting morning they seemed to be getting along quite well. from there the president went into trilateral meeting with

shinzo abe and the prime minister of japan, then a bilateral meeting. from there he went into a bilateral meeting with angela merkel. but between them, the president had a little bit of time and in his old room there was a television set and what was on the television set but the democratic debate. so when the president was meeting with angela merkel at the beginning of their bilateral, they had what's called a cool spray, the media comes in and hear some comments from the leaders. if the couldn't help but remark on the democratic debate saying he noticed that when they were asked a question, 100% of the democratic candidates put up their hands and said they would provide government-run health care for all illegal migrants. the president saying what would they provide for the american people? so the president has got one eye on what's going on there in the event states. multitasking. >> obviously a lot of attention placed on this as well. the big meeting this afternoon is going to be with vladimir putin. the president will also meet with the new president of

brazil. but the big, big meeting, that happens tomorrow when the president sits down with president xi. there's a bit of a disconnect between what the chinese are telling fox news and what sr. and administration officials are telling fox news about what may or may not have been agreed to going into this bilateral meeting. >> laura: well, john, i saw at one of the dash i guess a video of the folks that sit around the table, i saw bob lighthizer, who's been working and working and working on this china issue now for the last year. he wrapped up the nafta redo in the usmc a. but was working simultaneously with the chinese and the concern was that the last time they met they had agreed to a whole bunch of new changes to china's trade behavior and that the forced tech transfers -- they basically agreed in principle to a number of items, but then by the time they got back to washington, turns out that they weren't really going to make changes to their laws after all.

they were going to be agreeing in principle and that's when trump says we are going to hold off on this right now. we will see if that changes later today or tomorrow. >> and this has been very frustrating for american negotiators. steven mnuchin said at the other day when he was in bahrain, larry kudlow said of this morning on fox news but they believe that there were 90% of the way there and then china all of a sudden said no, we don't want to do this. now we are hearing from chinese officials that in order to go forward and make concessions, they want all -- all of the tariffs that are currently on china lifted. if the chinese are also saying they have a pledge from the president not to put any more tariffs on china for the next six months, and they also want while way taken off of what's called the enemies list. we talked with american officials who say none of that is true. but we will see what happens between today and tomorrow when president trump and president xi get together. >> laura: i will be shocked if the president pulls back all tariffs before verified real

lasting changes -- i don't buy that at all. thanks so much. as john just mentioned, south china morning post reporting that the u.s. and china have agreed to a tentative truce in their trade dispute, but then late tonight "the wall street journal" claims no deal has been struck. that sounds more accurate to me. and that china will insist that the u.s. would lift the ban as part of the trade deal. so which is it? for all the answers and more, we're joined by michael sperry, one of the guy who knows more about china than pretty much anyone else out there. author of the great book "the hundred year marathon." mike, the idea of listing the thing that has brought china to the table, really to the table, which is a tariff, before we see real stiff dough make systemic changes in china, would you ever recommend doing that? >> of course not. what we see is chinese skill at spinning the american media. they obviously have some conversations with various

reporters and they say these things, which are not true and are denied by the white house soon thereafter. but the effect is to give the impression that china is in control of these trade talks. and a lot of people believe that. i think it's a mistake. i think president trump is in control. he's written a lot about doing things minute-by-minute in talks. so this is going to be 90 minutes. it's kind of a lunch. it will be midnight our time here, but i have a suspicion that the president will decide what to do based on how president xi presents his case and if he is angry or short with the president, or demanding, brings up huawei and says my boys are not going back to the talks unless you do this, i think we could see very dramatic -- not quite a walk out, but very harsh words from president trump. >> laura: reykjavik moment? >> yes. >> laura: may be. you and i have been doing this china issue on television or

radio for at least like 20 years. 20 years. for a different network i remember. >> when you were ten years old. >> laura: a long time. we can talk about this forever and now all these newcomers have come along to our view on china. it's good, i'm happy. and trump has awakened what was obvious, that they are not good actors, they are not fair traders. congress is putting huge pressure on this administration not to back down. that is great, great development. >> even chuck schumer. tonight's debate, mayor pete talked about china as a challenge and a threat and what's happening -- >> laura: a number of them last night at the same thing. climate change and china. >> where president trump discerns credit is one line he's repeated quite a few times the last few years. the mainstream media has never run this. he says if hillary clinton had won the election, china would already have surpassed our country, but this is not going

to happen on my watch. it just shows to him the seriousness of the size of the chinese economy. >> laura: joe biden will not say whether he still supports the tpp and is claiming -- i believe he's claiming claiming that he doesn't. that's a lie. obama and biden supported the trans-pacific partnership, did they not? >> that's right, but there seems to be some sort of biden family connection with the chinese. some reporters have begun to talk about. it's not clear to me how deep the scandal family connection . >> laura: or how much money may have been made in asia or total. >> some sort of fondness that maybe goes back to when he sort of a senator that he has to have for the chinese. he just doesn't get it yet. >> laura: could this be one of the many achilles heels, will ability to deal with the chinese as they are not as they wish to be? >> i see senator biden and

vice president biden different than all of the other democrats. they say they're tough on china. >> laura: they say they are tough. >> they say they are tough. even chuck schumer warned president trump not to go a sock on china. >> laura: irresponsible trade work, we heard that from some of the democrats in the past. china has had so much more to lose than the united states. we had some difficulty -- i believe the farmers have, but overall this has been a huge winner. we had some of the old dog globalists even have to say it actually works. felix i think was one of the ones who said this actually works. >> you said before, you pointed out the role of enforcement. i think it's one thing to say 90% was done, that's not quite accurate. yes there's 150 pages but if there's no enforcement it's really zero has been done. that's where the chinese have box. >> laura: and mike tells barry, thanks so much. still waiting for the president to emerge. we will bring those pictures when he arrives. up until today his name was

synonymous with leaks and questions surrounding his job security but acting someone his security secretary kevin mack a lien in his hair next with his exclusive response. you do not want to miss it. 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.

>> laura: it we have another fox news alert. a $4.6 billion supplemental border bill is awaiting president trump's signature after congress was able to hammer out a last-second agreement. it's a good start, the bill does not solve all the issues at the border. of course this comes amid multiple shake-ups among top border leadership. and after that delay of that planned ice rate or series of raids this week in several big cities, many accuse my next guest of leaking those plans and today some anonymous sources even suggested his job could be at risk. joining me exclusively now, he's not afraid, answering questions, here is acting dhs secretary kevin mcaleenan. secretary, thanks for being here. first your response to these charges.

here's the quote. "five officials who spoke with the "washington examiner" confirmed mcaleenan's decision to go rogue and stymie operation with what prompted the white house to call off the 10-city operation. i know you're a little bit, mr. mr. secretary -- was that you? >> it was not. i would never leak sensitive details about operation. my primary responsibility is the men and women who go out there every day to protect the american people so it's just not true. >> laura: secretary mcaleenan, the five sources, could it be someone in your office who leaked this information? >> no. there's a ton of information out there, right? we been trying to communicate effectively on why we needed to do interior enforcement. were talking about a situation where people have final orders of removal from a judge. we have not been out in the communities picking up families that's our number one problem at the border right now, the flow of families. we've been out there making the case on why we need to do these enforcement operations here on fox, on your show and elsewhere and that's what we were doing. >> laura: one more question on

this. my source said the information that was leaked was only available to a certain select number of people. in these series of deportation moves have been planned for months, correct? >> absolute. they've been working the plan for a long time but once you get close to the date when you've got to information onto the field, he got to inform your partners, it got to let community partners know. >> laura: so tonight you're saying these rumors are wrong, false, and you did not do this? to go absolutely not. >> laura: >> laura: to support r enforcement efforts of the type that were planned and do you think they're a vital dis- crossings? >> of course. any border strategy has to have balance from the beginning where people are deciding to leave their countries in central america, to the border where we have enhanced border security, to having a consequence on the interior. they need to be followed up on. that's ice's job. they do it well. they need to be out in communities exercising that

authority. >> laura: mark morgan was just named a few hours ago acting border patrol chief. if you have a good working relationship with him. >> absolutely. i've worked with him for years. he's been at cbp before, did a tremendous job for us there. chief of the border patrol, it will be good to have him back in that chair. if he is a key partner in getting the immigration mission done. >> laura: so people understand the sheer numbers, mr. secretary. these are the total apprehension numbers. may, 132,000. april, 99,000. march, 92,000. february, 66,000. a total of 593,000 this fiscal year alone. so far when you add them up to october. what does it look like this month? can you give us a sneak peek of what those numbers are going to look like you make >> thanks to the president's engagement with mexico we are seeing the numbers come down. they've stepped up enforcement efforts on their southern border, interdicting those transportation networks.

we've increased our minor protection protocols were rapid migrant far less weight in mexico for their hearings. all those things are making an impact on driving down the numbers. but what you're showing is this crisis. that is the highest number of apprehensions and crossings we've seen over 12 years. that's why we need to take assertive action. >> laura: the comment last night at the democratic debate and continuing all throughout the day is about -- there's a tragic photo of a father and a daughter and when i was down in del rio i heard about other horrible things that happened. those images are powerful. more lives are going to be lost because of the sheer number of people crossing. what can you tell us tonight about this humanitarian aid package which was passed today? >> it's a big deal. a burst of bipartisanship, 84 votes in the center. frankly i think it's because they listen. chairman graham hearings, chairman don, johnson. able to prevent the facts of what happened on the border. we presented a package of

funding that we needed to address it and they provided it. but we need to know now is capitalize on that moment and go after the loophole closing efforts that we need. stop incentivizing the families to swim across the river and be in this dangerous situation. we need integrity in the system, three simple changes to make that happen. >> laura: asylum or form, you and i have been talking about this for months and months and months and months. without that, families still have an incentive to cross so now they will be taken care of in a better way, more humane -- they will have beds to sleep in. border patrol stations, it will be a better situation. that's good, and we are glad that the case, but isn't the goal here is to stop people from crossing into our country or to be sent back immediately. my question to you is the new agreement with mexico, we can immediately send people back to mexico to await their asylum hearing results. if that happening now and if not, why not? >> with more than doubled the number of people going back everyday. it expanded at the existing locations in san diego, el paso.

>> laura: what about in other places? what about in other more heavily traffic areas like texas? people cross across mcallen. hundreds a week, thousands a week sometimes. many of those and going back to mexico? >> that's one of the next three locations were open. south texas, the radio at arizona to increase the number of people going back to wait for their hearings. can actually get a more expedited court hearing and i processed them again if they are released in the united states. >> laura: with the percentage of people who show up for their immigration hearings? >> there's all kinds of different demographics depending on the court but the key problem we're having what is with families crossing right now. expedited -- 90% of those orders that have been issued have been issued in absentia. >> laura: i also want to get your thoughts on another idea democrats are backing this. watch. >> my plan also includes getting rid of section 1325 of the immigration and nationality act. to go back to the way we used to

treat this. once he comes across the border, not to criminalize desperation, to treat that as a civil violation. >> laura: what with that due to your job? >> i think the numbers you just put up on your screen this year show what happened when you can't effectively enforce the law against families. more and more come. 88,000 last month, absolute record. decriminalizing crossing between ports of entry when we know it's associated with criminal smugglers who make huge profits when they know they bring drugs behind those people that are crossing, it would just add to the problem. >> laura: it would be another explosion in the numbers of people crossing. basically like jaywalking. if you have automatic tickets when you're speeding and a ticket in the mail, just ignore that. >> it would further undermine our efforts. >> laura: other comments tied at the democratic debate was free health care. it would that be, in your estimation, another incentive? >> i think the president handled that pretty effectively in his tweets. a lot of issues to solve

domestically. the homeless population and medical care as it is. >> laura: we really appreciate it and you're being her to make it and best of luck in your job in keeping this country safe. >> thank you so much. >> laura: one part of the debate that was panned, even by the left, struck a particular chord with our own rachel campos duffy. she sounds off next.

♪ >> laura: fact for that slow car crash that was the first democratic primary debate.

since the 2020 fanatics don't have any new ideas, they can't really argue that this economy is bad. they tried, but it's lame. they attempted to reach minority voters, at least some minority voters another way. >> [speaking foreign language] >> laura: we thought this look on cory booker's face was out of embarrassment for beto, but no, he was just upset that beto beat him to the punch. >> [speaking foreign language] >> laura: magnifico!

rachel campos duffy, fox news contributor, is with us now. as a hispanic woman itself, does this -- i can't believe i'm saying this -- hispandering, actually do anything for you? >> beto looked annoyed, bombed, may be surprised that he is considered latino. he tried speaking spanish. to be fair, he, julian, and booker sounded -- i don't think there spanish is very good. i was a spanish teacher myself at one point. their accents sounded like caucasian boys in high school trying hard to put on a spanish accent. i don't think it's -- the bottom line is this. english is the language of opportunity in america. what hispanics want is the american dream. if they want financial independence and i believe that what democrats want is for their

minorities -- for minorities to be poor and dependent on them. if you really want to help hispanics, encourage them to speak english, because that's the way to achieve the american dream and really have success in this country. >> laura: on a radio show we used to play people like president bush and michael bloomberg trying to speak spanish on cinco de mayo cinco de mayo. [speaking foreign language] i can't stand -- why just spanish? let's do arabic, french. there are all sorts of -- german. all these other groups are being left out of the equation. if were really going to go multilingual, let's really do it up, but i find this to be -- but there are more of us. if there are more hispanic-americans, so i get why they're doing it. i thought it was just super-duper cheesy. >> laura: [speaking foreign language] right? no accent if you're going to do it right. rachel, thank you so much, great to see you as always.

a close and you didn't miss anything. chief national correspondent ed henry's live in miami with the three big moments of the night, ed. >> laura, they all involve joe biden. rough night for him, one he said they would repeat all the tax tromp codes and he would raise your taxes. number two, joe biden's asked what you would do on day one if elected president. he said, beat donald trump. everyone seemed confused as if he misunderstood the question because if he was already president he would have beaten donald trump earlier. but the biggest of all, the one that you will be hearing about. you mentioned at the top of the show, kamala harris armed and ready to go directly to the vice president. she said as a woman of color that she doesn't believe he is a racist, but it is hurtful to her that she has been talking positively about segregation as a senator and opposed buzzing as a senator in the 70s. she talked about a young girl on

a bus in california. she said i was that girl. her staff had a photo of her and pigtails ready to go to put on social media. this was a planned, coordinated hits and she went after the vice president again and again and said were you wrong to oppose buzzing. he tried to fight back but did not do a good job and said no, i did not want the department of education to force it if the federal government but of course the local government to do it. it didn't seem strong but the bottom line, the president's campaign manager tweeting tonight check kamala harris. sorry joe biden, put a fork in him. this was rough, laura. >> laura: thank you so much and she is thought to be the obama's favorite candidate. president trump to take the stage in osaka and we will bring it to you when we come back.
