continuing coverage right here on fox news. it's coming up on the coast. don't mess around with this storm. watch fox news.they will give y. "the ingraham angle" is next. have a great labor day weekend. >> laura: i am laura ingraham with this special edition fromwe "american newsroom" ingraham angle. we will show you some of the most creative media excuses for that damning ig-report on jim comey. john yu will unpack all of it. after saying he would not comment on a sitting president mattis is doing just that. this is a breach of the military code and raymond arroyo is here twice. first in follies and examines--,

yes, and examines why erights are trying to shut down david chappelle's politically incorrect special.ad in america, you can't miss it. it's unreal this is happening in the united states of america. first, you would think that lacerating inspector general report on jim comey would be pretty big news. itpo is. a huge abuse of power. violating the department norms. but, much of the media just stuck their heads in the sand regarding the true take away. this is the same press that took every little whiff of trouble forr president trump and inflatd it. to prove our point we will look

at what major media figures were obsessing on just a year ago and what happened since. here's msnbc's ratings queenwit. >> the president's business is also implicated in the commission of felonies according to the criminal information filed in court with michael cohen's guilty plea. >> tucker: we could do this all day long. that bombshell led to nothing. cohen is the only one who ended up in jail. prosecutors declined to go after trump's businesses. then, there was the beginning of the impeachment fantasy. here's larry o'donnell last year. >> we learned from the "washington post" exactly 24 hours ago, quote, trump has consulted his personal attorneys about the likelihood ofih impeachment proceedings. >> laura: one year later, impeachment still looks pretty unlikely.

given his inflamatory and false reporting this week o'donnell hasn't learned his lesson. let's see what cnn was up to last year. here's don lemon. >> the president tellingng bloomberg news he views the mueller probe as an illegal investigation.pair this with thr tirade, is this president on edge right now? >> laura: i had almost forgotten the walls are closing in narrative. that's really, really fun. donald trump is paranoid in his office.and finally, we had a rey good knee slammer uncovering this -- slapper uncovering this one. and this was chris cuomo interviewing everyone's favorite trump foil.. >> david pecker and all of the stuff.what are the implications? let's bring in the attorney for stormy daniels, michael avanati. >> laura: as we know, michael avanati is facing embezzlement charges, but he needs more time for his lawyers to prepare his case.

he said that yesterday.those art nothing burgers that the media obsessed on for a year plus.buts, just as where they were. meanwhile, what has president trump accomplished over the last year? he's delivering for the american people. now, he accomplished true criminal justice reformwith the. he negotiated the usmca to replace nafta and now congress has to do its job. trump got mexico to crackdown on illegal immigration.the first pt done. the system seeing gyrations but it is still booming. and unemployment is at near record lows. joining me now jeffrey, a former cnn contributor. president of the independent women's forum and fox news contributor.all right, jeff, thy jump on anyny story that is even remotely or be interpreted to be

possibly, one source told me stories that could be damaging to trump but they ignore this bombshell that comey had his whole team ready to debrief him after he went in a that trump tower meeting in january, 2017. that's just not a story at all. >> no, no. of course, you know, westbound all just knew this is what's going to happen here. they're no locker, you know, the cable news network, they're the kellyanne narrative network, liberal narrative network, and if it doesn't fit their fartive, they're not going to apologize for it. they're out there to borrow a phrase i saw from don lemon, prop began that and lies. they have two stories they've gotten the story wrong time after time, they are sea not going to say apologize for it they're not going to say they're wrong so they're going to ignore, now that all of this is coming out. this is just laughably

unbelievable here frankly, laura, i think it is going to help president trump in the election. he will certainly make this an issue, and the american people will get it. >> okay, we had so much fun going back and just picking a day, so a year ago about what they were talking about it. really is, it is quite something. we were pretty much talking about how we're going to have increased growth, trump is going keep doing these trade deals, try to avoid getting into another war. we're pretty accurate, not 100% accurate but they were swinging and missing on almost every major story they were freaking out on. never seen anything like this. >> it is the equivalent of fan fiction. >> good point, yeah. >> it is a fan fiction. >> the problem is reality interrupts that. it's not as fun to have real life. there was not legacy media these

ideas would be on a street corner mumbling i am the king of prussia. bdon't know who i am? that's what these individuals do.on the serious end of, this e news media, clearly the the legacy media is a legacy for a reason.it has played an impor, these are important institutions in american life. the "new york times" and the broadcast networks. these fools have not just made fools of themselves but have destroyed the nature of their own business. > good point. >> and the important legacy outlets that the american people rely on.in the meantime, we can enjoy fan fiction. every year you will be able tocy segment. >> 50 years ago today. 1 year ago today. we could do one week ago. we played what they said a year ago.o.here is, jeff, the stories

on msnbc the prime-time host thought deserved top billing last night as the ig-report was coming out. >> 70-years ago today, in 1949, the soviet union was the second country with nuclear weapons, and three weeks ago today, a nuclear accident killed five russian scientists. >> first tonight, do you remember when vice-president dick cheney accidentally shot a guy in the face? do you remember when that happened? >> tucker: okay, so we got an 83-page ig-report out yesterday and it's back to the cheney and i am surprised they didn't throw in haliburton. are these people serious? >> oh, i am so looking forward to the next year and what is left of this year. these people, more and more, as we get more ig-reports about

what happened with the deep state as it were with the fbi and all of this sort of thing, these people will be put in an impossible position of just ignoring major news. they will look like foolswhen t. frankly, they can't help themselves. they are not news. they are narratives. >> tucker: people say trump shouldn't say fake news, these vaunted institution, maybe if they actually did their job, the fake news would not resonate with anybody. they arenating because doing stories about sea otter health last nightinstead of doit what comey was up to. come on. great to see you tonight. while they were ignoring the report, other media hacks were spinningoh it. let's bring in john yu. great to see you. i want to begin with this from cnn's legal analyst.ellie honig.

>> what i think we should not lose sight of is none of this is any indication for donald trump. it doesn't change anything about what comey was writing about in those memos which was donald trump demanding loyalty of him and donald trump trying to get him to shut down the investigation.those are still, , obstructive acts and today's finding on comey has nothing to do with clearing trump. >> laura: how did he turn the ig-report slamming comey andshor recommending charging him into, well, trump is not vindicated?this iss stuff. >> i am sad to say after i read the ig-report. trump didn't obstruct justice. he freed the justice department of a man who rejected our constitution and democracy. he decide the normal basic rules of the justice department did not apply to him in his crusade

to stop president trump. that basic rule is, we don'tas . agents freely share the results of confidential investigations with the "new york times" or the press to attack people we don't like. we keep those things confidential in order to pursue successful investigations. if jim comey had been a normal justice department prosecutor or a lying fbi agent he would have been fired on theyi spotfor whag report. >> laura: no question. here's msnbc's legal analyst's julie ainsley's take. >> people talking to former justice department employees they say horowitz is missing th. if toupe charge him and referred it to the justice department who declined to charge him, it is like punishing someone speeding to put out a fire. >> john, speeding ticket, is that analogous?

>> that's ridiculous. this is a guy who should have never been the fbi director. he took 2 years of bob mueller to find out the whole thing was groundless. jim comey, because he did not like donald trump, broke all of the rules. it's not just like speeding. these are the basic rules that govern the justice department. what did we get in exchange? two years of wasted time and effort, not just the cost of the mueller report to our whole political system.keeping him frh his jobob of running the countr. it's been a disaster for the country. >> laura: john, the host of "hard ball," chris matthews. >> you know how they knew hitler was coming? they leaked stuff to churchill about the military build-up of the germans. sometimes there is a justifiable

cause. >> laura: churchill and hitler.? >> i can't even tell what he is talking about.this is, again, il problem here was jim comey and not donald trump.as you sais incredible, this ig-report is a damning indictment of someone who was an fbi director and created many abuses that hoover did against martin luther king. this was spreading information from fbi files to damage and harm people when he was not going to prosecute him. this is a guy who should neverh. i have to say after reading the ig-report. one of the most important things donald trump did and the best thing for the country was to fire jim comey. >> laura: john.great inseats, a- everyone sights, as always. thank you very much. i want to go to the 2020 political scene. two of the top contenders joe biden and elizabeth warren are making headlines for different reasons. warren seems to be gaining

momentum.one outlet is saying her crowd sizes are attracting attention. a new poll has her up 9 points over biden. biden is under fire for his gaffes and a war story that never really happened. frank, i want to get your reaction to some media members playing defense still for biden. >> the theme of the story may be right, but he didn't get the details right. so what? >> it's not like he made up something in some malicious way. >> he got the story wrong and needs to say my heart is in the right place. he was making a point and the story fit his point. >> i watched this and it's tragic. i understand it's for some people's entertainment, but it is so serious.particularly now,

we celebrate labor dayand famil, and where is the personal responsibility? where are people doing their jobs? the media has a solemn responsibility to reportrt the facts, report information and not allow their own personal biases to get in the way. not protecting candidates as they did with joe biden, not damning candidates as they did with donald trump. we suffer as a result.that is ct omission, what they don't tell es. there is a reason why the american people have less faith and trust in the american people since we have been alive. >> tucker: since we've been in politics in the last three decades. >> we have the lowest unemployment rate. we have wages going up. every piece of information. i recognize that the issue of trade is controversial.the evidr service is asth strzok today as any time. >> tucker: and .

>> laura: and all of the predictions about getting tough on trade will destroy the u.s. economy. there is no inflation. we have a strong economy. no risk of recession over the next couple of years. >> and the people that haveou an helped the most are people who do not vote for donald trump. youngest voters and african-americans and latinos. they have benefitted from the economy but you never hear about that. >> laura: and i want to show you biden's most significant issue with memory this week. >> because they invaded another country.annexed a significant pf cry mia. he was saying it was president -- my boss, it's his fault. >> laura: people are saying he could not remember obama's name. now they are seizing on him. a friend of mine didn't like some of the criticism of biden

and she is a big trump fan. she said this makes me feel likk no one can get a break here. or is this fair? you will be president of the united states or you want to be. you have to be at the top of your game. >> when you have 5 different speeches a day and flying across all over the country, you will make mistakes. we are not perfect. you expect people to tell the truth and say things that are significantif for individuals.wh better debate coach. he did not perform near asal with >> laura: next one is? >> september 12th in houston on abc and joe biden will be next to elizabeth warren. >> it will be the sandwich, biden and warren and sanders on the other side. >> he better be sharper than he has been and he better be prepared that they will challenge and try to take him down. >> laura: frank, nice to see you.edwe will have you on that . >> thanks. coming up resistance on twitter

to mattis. two retired army colonels are here to speak out next.

[ sigh ] introducing an easier way to move with xfinity. it's just another way we're working to make your life simple, easy, awesome. go to xfinity.com/moving to get started. >> laura: former defense secretary james mattis is now giving his version of the events after departing from the trump administration. we were told by other

republicans that soon more sort of establishment republicans would speak out. it sounds like jim mattis is doing that. >> this is a warning. this is not simply an interesting story but a warningd i do think it's time for 2020. >> laura: this is the same guy that said the iraq war would last 2 or 3 months. okay? sitting among the first thoughts we heard on that new jim mattis kristol who is always wrong and never in doubt.t. the anti-trump zealots were referring to this passage where mattis is writing using every skill i learned during by decades as a marine i did as well as i could for as long as is i could.with my strategic ad, keeping safe with allies no longer resonated texas was time

to resign. joining me now is daniel davis and retired army colonel doug mcgregor. what is mattis really trying to do here other than sell his book? >> he is trying to convince the audience he is a heroic figure. it's a tough sell, to be perfece for 2 years in the administration he did everything to subvert the president. now he is discussing things he talked to the president in confidence about.something you a cabinet member to do while the in office.s he keeps trying to emphasize his courage and devotion. where was that for 18 years of self-defeating warfare that cost trillion dollars and thousands of lives and accomplished nothing. t if anything, we have cultivated more enemies. >> laura: i want to get back to the issue of the funding of the wars.th but, i want to say this, colonel davis, he actually claims to be old-fashioned.

put up this excerpt from the book.i'm old-fashioned. i don't write about setting presidents so those looking for a tell-all will be disappointed. i want to pass on the lessons and experiences that preparedmet anticipate, not take up the hot political rhetoric of our day. >> it sounds like precisely what he is doing. that's not surprising at all. he is the absolute embodiment of establishment washington. he puts on a good face and looks good while he's doing it. when you look at his term as secretary of defense, he really worked hard to keep the status quo in advance and not do anything outside.annot could an. -- not do anything effective. he didn't want to change anything from the status quo which undercut president trump. thingsed to do a lot ofot that made sense. he wanted to get out of syria and get out of afghanistan. he was thwarted in both of

those. that's something that will be his real legacy. he thwarted the president at every step.he was not the loyal- >>. laura: this goes back to the original appointment of mattis, which was a mistake. trump should not have appointed someone who disagreed with hisnt fundamental non-interventionist outlook. >> more important, jim mattis who obviously was a clinton supporter, had not voted for donald trump. >> laura: right. that's a given. >> he had an obligation, if he's a true professional, to tell dothe president, i appreciate te offer and i wish you well, but you really ought to look for someone who actually supports you, mr. president, because i don't. he didn't do that. instead he was inside the administration.ou >> laura: you think he took the job to put a monkey wrench -- >> yes, look at the people he appointed all over the pentagon. these were people from the left. they were obama people. some going back to bush but mostly obama.

>> laura: why did they do it? why the bad staff decision? we had jeff sessions on and ilie still like him, but he was not the right pick obviously for doj. mattis stabs the president inth, tell all. >> i think part of the issue is that the president is kind of caught up in the stars on the shoulders. >> laura: mad dog mattis. >> i don't think that he believed that he would do anything to subvert him.he wase, the stars in the eyes. >> laura: i want to talk about mattis's own credibility. let's put up this excerptof this is also in the book. this is what he said about what concerns him most. what concerns him most as a military man is not our external laboratories but our internal

devicesiveness. we're hostile transcribes cheering against each other, fueled by emotion and a mutual disdain that jeopardizes our future, instead rev discovering our common ground and finding irsolutions. it sounds like a bad obama speech.you're right. which hasin america not know divided accept for 5 minutes after 9/11 and the world war ii parade. >> first of all welcome to a republic. this is the way we do business. secondly, he is trying to shift the blame for the obvious divisiveness we are dealing with to the current president. these things were there when he became president. we are dealing with decades. legacies of previous administration, especially the obama administration. >> laura: well, one thing i have to also show you is why he believed we had the trouble we had in the middle east and the warswe were fighti. let's look at this.

>> laura: now, let's put up the full screen of what all these wars cost. 5-pointing the 5-point the $000n and iraq. that's not enough for jim mattis. he thinks we should have doubled it and things would have worked out. the christians will still have their place in mosul.we wouldn'e crisis. iran would not have pointed those devices our guys stepped on.what about that. >> it is interesting, because normally failed generals point to troops. i didn't have enough soldiers.ie solders, things would have worked out better. this is the first time i have ever heard a general officer say i didn't have enough money.part, if you look at what happened with rumsfeld became the

secretary of defense. rumsfeld and bush told the generals you can have as much money as you want. what i can't provide you is hundreds of thousands of additional troops.they said tha. we just don't have them to sends as you want, as much money as you want. no constraint. where does this come from? if anything he had too much money. thoughts a huge part of the problem for us. we had too many people in the military swimming in oceans of cash. you don't have to make hard decisions.s.u >> laura: remember when they were passing out cash from wheelbarrows in baghdad.they wef $50 bills. this was insanity, looking back on it. now he wants to blame shift and get us up to the point where donald trump is the problem?exc, trump was elected after 8 years of a failed obama administration followed by the last 4 years of the bushbay administration whee the public turned against these wars.that's why they elected ob.

>> that's exactly what the problem is. shifting blame from what was their failure. it was the plans and he was trying to accomplish the unattainable with military force and blaming somebody else. president trump was right to say this was an unwinnable situation. wewi need to get out. >> laura: they want to go back to the bush administration. they think it will be happy times going back to 2004. they are in a time warp and think it's 2004. they never emerged from it. it's like a time machine and they are just stuck on 2004. >> there's two problems. first of all, the generals are accustomed to no accountability and secondly, what have these people done?we're fighting withr forces. >> laura: we are still in afghanistan. great to see both of you. thanks for joining us tonight. coming up, raymond arroyo is here with a truly unique friday's follies..he brings youn

nudes. yes, you heard that right. and calling for a boycott of dave chappelle's netflix special and are we ready for robotic clergy? all of that up next.

>> hurricane dorian is upgraded now to a category-4 storm with

maximum sustained winds of 130 miles per hour. it's heading for the east coast of the florida, but some forecasters say it might avoid a direct hit. the national hurricane center say some computer models actually have it turning to the right and hugging the coast there. governor ron desantis is urging florida to closely monitor hurricane dorian. he is stressing people need to comply when mandatoryevacuationt will save their lives. >> long lines at gas stations were the order of the day. lots of reports of stations running out of gas and people were stocking up on water and flashlights and generators. now back to "the ingraham angle." >> laura: it's friday and that means it's time for friday's follies. robotic clergy. a dave chappelle boycott and why so many nude stories making headlines.

joining us with all the detailsd raymond arroyo. i thought we should call this segment the "week in nudes." a lot of naked people out in the news. what is going on? >> well, what i think is going on is we as a society lost all sense of shame in some areas and act like puritans in others. in philadelphia, 3,000 naked enthusiasts, took part in a naked bike ride to promote positive body image andnot sured protesting dependence on fossil. listen. >> a lot of people don't understand social nudity.it is d like-minded people who want to fully express themselves.

whhad >> they dangled and flopped for 10 miles on those bikes. what does this have to do with fossil fuels?i can't quite fit . >> laura: you are carbon neutral when you are biking. >> do you have to be naked to do it? good point.at's a you better haven't any potholesi can say. it's hard enough biking on the streets in d.c. now with no clothes on? no thanks. >> what happened to public decency laws. i thought you could not flash just everything. you have people look good and body paint doesn't help. this guy was naked in colorado over the weekend. this is fascinating.the police o figure out exactly what he was up to. he is a 29-year-old man. it could have been drug related from new mexico. he climbed a 150 foot power line tower.50i was rescued in the eay morning. and though he was naked, he was carrying his boxer

shorts.inwhich he wore to get oe ladder that rescued him. and in florida, i am not making these headlines up. these are all honest headlines. a teacher is fighting to get his job back after a neighbor videotaped him mowing his lawn in the nude. why would do you this? the weed whacker has got to hurt. that's the week in nudes. >> laura: we were talking about comedian dave chappelle's new netflix special.you've seen it,. it's called "sticks and stones," and you predicted this.publications like vice andi think the hollywood reporter saying you can definitely skip this new netflix special. a lot of negativity. what is going on? >> this goes back to what weol were saying earlier. we seem to have a high tolerance for nude displays and sexual acting out. but speech is contracting. chappelle is being called a

misogynyist, being trans-phobic, and he is taking on cultural sacred cows. >> hey. duh, if you do anything wrongwit about it, i will try to take everything away from you. i don't care what i find out. it could be today or tomorrow or 15 or 20 years from now.if i fie finished. >> he is right.of course he's r. he also addressed his critics. >> the rule is that no matter what you do in your artistic expression, you are never, ever allowed to upset the alphabet people.i'm talking about them ls anthem bs anthem gs and the ps. >> he is catching hell for this. but this is a comedian. time was comedy was used to bridge differences and bring

people together.i think that's g here. >> laura: all you can do today if you are a comedian, you can make fun of trump or christians or ridicule nuns and the pope. but now he is liberal so they like him. you can ridicule a certain group of people. but other people you may never speak about me. comedy is like we all rip on each other. it's all in good fun. i find this to be a disturbing trend. needlessly mean spirited. there's no reason for that.y jerry seinfeld said he won't do college campuses.you cannot do g nil more. he said i'm not doing it any more circumstance hope the college campuses are happy. >> chappelle is investigating in sophisticated social s commenta. >> i am not for abortion. ladies, to be fair to us, i also believe if you decide to have

the baby, the man should not have to pay. >> [cheers and applause]. >> that's fair.if you can kill i can at least abandon him. it's my money and my choice. if i am wrong, perhaps we are wrong. [bleep]. >> laura: that is very sophisticated.although people w, don't want to hear, it won't know what he actually just said. >> may prediction, laura, this will be the most watched netflix comedy special yet. i want to introduce you to the mindar, the first clergy robot. the multi-million dollars amimatronic buddhist priest is the centerpiece of a japanese temple. he recites sermons. though he hasn't yet interact that could come in time.he has l behind him, a display, that

punctuates the sermon like justin timberlake singing.some e the solution to the clergy crisis. are you ready for father roboto on sunday? >> laura: i love my parish priest.i have a couple i go to,t just go to one, i go to two. they are great priests. but, you and i have heard oursh. you can barely hear them, they're mumbling, they don't want to be there. that robot would probably be perhaps more lively than some of the god bless them member of the clergy. >> i've heard my fair share of boring homilies over the years. maybe they could replace a few deacons. >> laura: stay right there. more of raymond next. traveling to the homeless encampments outside of l.a. in a visit to mayor pete's hometown

next.

>> laura: raymond arroyo has been all over the country thisor week talking to every day americans and the important issues facing their communities. there was so much great material. we only have a limited amount of time. we were not able to get to it all.l. tonight, lucky you, we are showing you the unseen footage from raymond on the road. first up, what you did not see

from last night's expose that he did on the homeless crisis in iavenice beach, california. >> mark, tell me about these planters that were not here a year and a half.until you and ts put them in. tell me why. >> you had the problem of them coming t on to your property to use them as a toilet and a problem of breakins to the property and the cars. we made all of these calls to the cops.adthe break-ins, the h. in one meeting, the patrol captain, and the senior lead officer and the deputy said if you put in planter boxes, they can't set up tents. we will enforce the no blocking the sidewalk law. they will leave.ew all of the residents came with their shovels and the dug the piles, filled these up and volunteered all of the plants and planted them. until the city with figure out a way to house all of these

people, there needs to be a 300 foot buffer where you can set u, where you can sleep, where you can set up a tent. public spaces have been taken over by campers and by homeless up and down the boardwalk. none of the laws are being enforced. everyone is supposed to leave at 12:00 at night.no one is forced. all of the stuff is supposed to come out.none of this stuff com. >> there are 15,000 homeless people on the streets of l.a. county. there is a proposal to build a facility for them in venice. why are you opposed to that?it'p there. >> the only reason they are doing it in the middle of a residential neighborhood is the mta owns the site.e. that's not a good reasonto site. which know because this audienc. is so problematic already that we know that this is just going to invite more people. >> and, even in residential areas like this one, you will

find lines of rvs, beat up campers, school buses, filled with homeless people who spend a lot of their time evading local restrictions on where they should park or not. >> do you consider yourself homeless?? >> no, i am not homeless. i consider myself -- i have an rv. >> are you upset the local government is not helping you more? no, it makes my life more interesting. like a challenge. >> to evade the authorities? >> yeah! if they just helped me, i would be like, i would be like what is my point in life? i can't relaly do anything. >> it was reported that mayor pete cut down both your drug and traffic bureaus? why, given the crimes we areseef south bend? sure.

to my knowledge, we have one officer that does traffic enforcement. >> one? >> we have six officers in our drug investigation unit that only focus on heroin-related crimes, overdoses. we are approaching as bad as it was in the mid '90s. we arere understaffed. we're at 220 working officers. 19 per shift. that's not enough. we can't police this entire city with 19 officers. >> the retention of black officers dropped by half.what's? why is that and is the mayor responsible for that? >> sure. there is a national crisis with hiring minority officers. i believe that started just 4 or 5 years ago when nationally police were held as villains of some sort. if i were a minority,, i don't know that i would want to be a police officer i here. because any minority, and i have

spoken to several on our police department, gets called all kind of names and traitors for doing the job they are doing. the job they want to do and love. >> tell me about the homeless problem you are having here. >> they are all over the city. people holding signs. vagrants here and there, people sleeping and defecating all over the place. >> to have a tent city behind a business park. >> we have got 9% of our population is unemployed. 25% live below the property level. these are their options. >> laura: special thanks to raymond and our great producers kristen, for that excellent work and reporting. coming up, putting president trump's second chance hiringan initiative to work. "the ingraham angle" exclusive inside an indiana prison for women. the front lines of the criminal justice reform movement.

hey! i'm bill slowsky jr., i live on my own now! i've got xfinity, because i like to live life in the fast lane. unlike my parents. you rambling about xfinity again? you're so cute when you get excited... anyways... i've got their app right here, i can troubleshoot. i can schedule a time for them to call me back, it's great! you have our number programmed in?

ya i don't even know your phone anymore... excuse me?! what? i don't know your phone number. aw well. he doesn't know our phone number! you have our fax number, obviously... today's xfinity service. simple. easy. awesome. i'll pass.

>> too often former inmates are not considered for jobs even in if they are rehabilitated and ready to work. we are taking crucial steps to encourage businesses to expand second chance hiring practices. >> [applauding]. >> laura: of course, the mainstream media did notspend a. that was the president back in june announcing a new criminal justice reform initiative called

the second chance act. c the goal is to get businesses to train inmates behind bars so when they get out, guess what, they have a job. everybody wins. but one man has already made it his mission to make sure prisoners do have a second chance. i found s out about this sometie ago. wanted to bring this story to you for a while now. this is called the last mile program. it teams up tech leaders with convicts. it teaches them computer coding. this week "the ingraham angle" got exclusive access to the first-class to graduate in indiana. here's a preview. >> there's a huge amount of people in prison need a second chance. over 90% of people are getting out. we have to think about who we want them to be when they get out. so, you know, that's really part of it. i didn't really start this --

when i did this with beverly, it wasn't started to change stereotypes. what i saw initially was this idea of hope. within the first month of starting the program, one of the guys came up to me and said if i never get a job, it's okay. you are treating me like a human being for the first time i am being treated like that for someone from outside. >> laura: what are you doing to prevent resaid said victim. -- recidivism. >> we are trying to do educate and prepare people to be successful. people that are not in prison make mistakes, too. is that zero going to happen forever? that's our goal. we will reduce recidivism andwe. if we can reduce that, whatever percent percentage is, it we will reduce our spending by billions of dollars. they look at zero percent and none of the people who are out want to be the first one. it takes the onus from me andnor

communest. they want to support their community. o >> you four and many others all over the state of indiana are proving that indiana is a state that works for all. congratulations. i can't wait. the best is yet to come. >> when we're thinking about incarcerated people,be we need to remember they are just people. everybody is one bad choice away cfrom incarceration. i know my success will have a huge impact on the women coming in the future. i am in the pilot program. all eyes are on the people in the pilot program to see if they succeed. is this really a zero percent recidivism rate? it's important to me to be successful so that, number one, they know they can be successful, too, and number two, so the society knows these promise are worth investing in. >> that's the only way to rehabilitate people, is give them an opportunity.

if you put people in prison and you don't give them any opportunity to succeed, they won't succeed because they don't know how.we need an example likt model that the hoosiers provide, and with that, i am glad to be a role model. >> some of the folks incarcerated for years to come going through this program are the ones having a huge positive influence. >> laura: why? knowing it's such a long time beforeugit they get out but they still show up day after day? why?p >> maybe life's true purpose is being revealed to them, too. they are part of this bigger notion of what are we doing for our neighbor? our neighbor is close by. our neighbor comes from a much different place than us. some of these folks did not have a first chance let alone a second chance. if you are serious about helping them, in turn, by the way help others through the process, then get involved. >> laura: final thoughts when we come back.
