thank you for my heart. we will never be the media model, we will always pursued to truth and justice. laura ingraham him is in the swab in d.c. of >> laura: it was very nostalgic looking at those -- >> sean: can you imagine that? >> laura: hannity, you are adorable. your cute little adorable, you're adorable. >> you want to pet the puppy, i got it. of >> laura: it was the cutest, all the girls in the studio, look at that cute, you went from bad to being on the scooter on the sidewalk, how did that happen? >> sean: i have no idea, going through the heavier years, the skinnier years, by the way -- >> laura: you're skinny again, you're skinny. of >> sean: training five days a week every sense. >> laura: skinny, you're skinny. if hannity again. >> sean: finally went on the diet, suite --

>> hey, hannity, i'm going to make you a guest for one minute on my show. i heard that this not vague is trying to block a trump. we been hearing to block a trump from speaking on thursday, it's basically a free country but you know, signaling that something could go amiss in the city. this is where the left is, they are afraid of president trump speaking, they did this in chicago. remember, last election they prevented him from going there, the president cannot be held he's got to go to the cities all across the country. >> sean: they banned cops wearing the uniform. let me ask you, i think they are insane. for years they have done nothing for we the people now they are back -- here's my question for you, and peach come on dot and peach, i don't care what they do, because i think they are showing the american peopley are useless they hate it, how do you take this and?

>> laura: i think it looks a crippled washington that is unable to do the people business from infrastructure to usmca, those two things, it will be an enormous boost to our current economy. that the economy is 2% or higher it would be great for the economy. they won't do it because it's a win for trump are they will do it begrudgingly. >> sean: une, me, we are only the three people who would believe trump would win. can you imagine the night of election night, fox news projects donald j. trump has been reelected the 45th president of the united states. can you imagine, it will be worth it just for that's. >> laura: my head is spinning right now. hannity, it was a great show tonight, again, those clips, those were the greatest ever. i love those. oh, my god. speak to it so embarrassing. it's humiliating! >> laura: you should have played the 2,000 recounts,

remember on election tight and 9:00 p.m., yeah, four times with you that night. i remember. all right, hannity, rachel. if i'm laura ingraham, from the "the ingraham angle," other busy washington. we going to explain the nonsensical stop there taking to conceal the identity of the whistle-blower and hide most of the process. it will also speak to experts who have been through impeachment battle, what does it really mean, how does it go? plus, the mba signing with communist china. if you are not going to miss this angle, you're not going to want to, what happened to free speech that can stand for calling cap next. you know, a member of their on management team that sent out the very mild tweets in favor of the protesters prayed that three democrats at the top of the 2020

nomination pole have run into s. there are serious whispers about another hillary clinton run. i'm not kidding. we should be so lucky. but first, we have the simple question tonight, just how improperly are the democrats handling this impeachment pushed? i want to take you back to what might be the most faithful was a decision of this charade appeared house speaker nancy pelosi putting on record adam schiff in charge of this impeachment inquiry. >> i want to salute the sixth chairman they've done a remarkable job and he's holding forth now with the matter and it's focused in the intelligence committee. >> laura: well, now that decision is coming back to hunter. of just in time for halloween. from our own katherine's hearing, the ig testimonies happening on friday and the

collusion between the whistle-blower and shifts committee could be far worse than we previously know. if we told friday the whistle-blower did not disclose that he had med with schiff as a chef before filing the complaint that sparked to the whole impeachment frenzy. there are now telling fox that the intel ig had no explanation. for an 18 day. with ukraine, and the whistle-blower filing his or her complaints on august 12th. now, during that period that the whistle-blower contracted schiff to decide to go to the intel ig to file the complaint. sources are also saying the whistle-blower did not disclose to the ig any congressional contact that he or she may have had. so, here i'm going to remind you, that adam schiff is the only one has the ability to relieve the full transcript from last week's hearing.

so, ask yourself, why isn't he? joining me now is a man who played an integral part of the bill clinton impeachment, barb b barr, i remember it well, bob, how badly is adam schiff's leadership damaging the credibility of this inquiry? >> when this whole thing started, laura, it was hard to imagine the credibility of the democrats average against president trump could sink any lower. but give it to schiff, he has done that's, it's gotten even worse. you know, it's really as if they set out a list of everything that they could think of that would undermine the credibility of their effort and they have stuck to that list to a t. >> laura: for the democrats are defending schiff, quite for supposedly, when after the other, let's watch. >> i think it's been productive, adam schiff and the intelligence committee -- >> yet nancy pelosi ends

adam schiff alone with a very targeted narrow message for where they're going, the republicans are sort of all over the place. >> isaac is one of the most decent human beings i know and attic is playing straight. >> laura: well, they're circling the wagons are on him, know if some reason he takes a major hit with the public at large, his own credibility it's curtains for this impeachment inquiry. at least that's how it's going to play out among the american people. what are the pitfalls beyond schiff for this at this juncture? >> it's interesting because i'm reminded of the old tv cartoon show in the 80s called the "smurfs post because we the little people running around and bubbling, and that's what it appears to be because speaker pelosi for all the fanfare that the left gives her, she really does not have control of her caucus. she started out a few weeks ago, as you remember, allowing the

man who never smiles to take a crack at a foe impeachment. that did not turned out too wel well. and that turned out as a disaster, it's not only hurting the impeachment effort for them but it's really hurting the country and that is the bottom line here. this is a committee of the congress and i was with the cia back when we formed both the house and the senate intelligence committees and legislation back in the late 70s. back what schiff has done to the house intelligence committee which is supposed to be the most nonpartisan of committees, he has turned it into the most partisan and in so doing, doing great damage to intelligence oversight for the united states. >> laura: yeah, but, bob, this is what nancy pelosi was deeply stronger tones, we are doing ths

soberly and judiciously, and quoting -- she's quoting james madison, throwing references for their federal favor, she is trying to give it the air of impartiality. speech go to my stomach >> if the gravitas. >> laura: it's a somber tone, we don't want to do this, but we are compelled to do this. does that wash? >> it does not wash and the fact of the matter is, and impeachment inquiry or an inquiry of impeachment does not start because the speaker says it does. throwing around a magic wand, and the impeachment is a formal document, as you know, this is how the impeachment process was started back in 1998. as well as back in 1973, 1974 with nixon. it's a very formal document that places the responsibility where it should be and where the house rules required to be and that is of the judiciary committee.

but, i think nancy pelosi is doing this sort of foe impeachment inquiry because they think that this might very well fall apart before their very eyes and if there is no formal inquiry they can go back and say, well, we didn't really mean it anyway. >> laura: it's more of a media inquiry than anything else, again, impeachment but not to. coke zero, impeachment zero, bob, their few people lindsey graham, i remember most days, great to have you on tonight. great to spend some time with you. >> thank you. >> laura: wire democrat so worried about ag bill barr is an investigation of the 2016 election. perhaps this new york time headlines explains it. the the times reported that mr.r mr. trump had gained access, and

they spoke to officials in britain, italy, and russia. joining me now, former acting attorney general, matt whitaker, matt, great to see it. should the democrats be concerned, is bill barr the type of person you know well? the person going all over the world for the world to make it look like this. and speak out now, i think it's very purposeful effort to take t john with, introduce them, and looking at the inquiry, this is john, he's the person inducting it. please give everything as you can, and you can see with some of the folks on the media. you can see, they are worried, they are worried, they're trying to discredit and suggesting that somehow it's a legitimate to look at why we even have this investigation. but you and i both know and a lot of american people know, there's really no explanation as to how it turned into a criminal investigation. >> laura: this is a stunningly

obvious to me, but just like the post mueller played about the media mr. whitaker said, and discrediting barr's investigation, they have to do that by labeling, second time attorney general, but he's just like a random political pundits. >> were in the world of attorney general william barr. >> he's jetting all around the world spending that time to focus on an investigation that is really only notable because it's a vehicle for the president to seek political revenge on the enemies. >> there trying to retroactivy fix evidence to fit the red conspiracy theory. >> laura: it's everywhere in the prosperity everywhere. >> it is, the left has been unified, throughout the last three years, it's almost you want a 24 hours a new cycle and you could see they set up the talking points to everybody and they are all saying the same thing. one of the things of that i know

is you don't hear anything about the mueller investigation and the basis as for the impeachment inquiry it's all about the ukraine. if you know how fast and furious it came on before they even the transcript that whistle-blower complaint, now they realize that complaint and they got the second whistle-blower that they don't want to put in front of the american people. the number one tenets of the american judicial that them is to confront the witnesses against you and that's exactly what they don't want to happen because they know these whistle-blowers will completely fold and we have all seen the evidence. we have seen the transcript and we know that there is no dirt there. the clay plate waste of time. >> laura: bats, how disturbed were you when back to adam schiff, barr talked on this, bob, when we had adam schiff making up what was in the transcript, media get less and gets away with it. when trump says something as a joke, oh, he's lying. trump is joking, poking the media, but when he says something without all

seriousness, they just let him get away with it. >> i have never seen a member of congress paraphrase a document to. >> laura: and destroyed completely. >> out this door completely, make it look at the nefarious, again the american people can see with their own eyes with what happened on the phone call and i don't know why we need sort of people to bring it to life. they've an individual bring it to life, moeller, it completely blew up in the face and i can only imagine now when they have these interpretive recitations of transcripts in these whistle-blowers. >> laura: do not want bill barr and john durham on this case. i mean, i know john durham just a little bit by reputation, i know barr well. those guys, they do not mess around this is not like some political fantasy. these are serious men with a serious mission. of what happens to people on the left, do you care about corruption and civil liberties and votes being counted properl

properly. i used that used to care about stuff like this. >> when i found, when i asked questions, i could not get any answers as to what was the substantiation. what with the predicate for this investigation. how did the president become a criminal target of the investigation. no one can give you the answers and then told the american people get those answers from the department of justice, it's really going to have a credibility challenge there. >> laura: don't you miss? >> especially miss the media. >> laura: exactly, thank you so much freedom for all the obsession with trump's single phone call, with the ukraine, conveniently glossing over their own shady history of doing their own business there. we all know about hunter biden's ties to the ukraine. what about tony working on the ukrainian government p.r. cafe. at the clinton foundation took more money from the ukrainian services than any other country. nancy pelosi's son, paul jr. had

ties to the ukraine and he served on the board of an energy company that reportedly did business there and the exec of director, he traveled to the you crane my stomach ukraine to vermont. joining me now, robert, former independent counsel, just like a homely care. you got whitaker, it looks like democrats have some explaining to do one of their own. what we know? >> it swampy. it's what the president has had all the long, it's what people elected him to contend with. and the swamp obviously is fighting back. i don't know how much we know about it, obviously, that kept off for this will be john durham's investigation with the assistance of the attorney general and also the president's efforts the request of the attorney general to both declassify if necessary and also to contact foreign leaders and to obtain an assistance in

connection that investigation. to come as no surprise to anyone for two reasons, one, the attorney general signaled he would do precisely this during his confirmation hearing. and second, this is what the ordinary process of the department of justice were founded on. we seek mutual legal assistance all the time. we know how that's done, pursuing the treaty. i fully expect that before this is over, we will get to the bottom of the swamp. >> laura: they have to do what matt said to come have to discredit the attorney general of the united states. if they do not smear here, what are they left with? they are left with john durham and nobody knows john durham, and durham is a very respected attorney. but it is not stop them from smearing. >> three words are a beach, recuse, and malign. ultimately , the former acting attorney general was suggesting that the american people sees right through this.

they're running out of committee chairman by the way. we went down to a handful. of >> to contend with the president over this. >> laura: roberts, now another msnbc commentator so that this liberal fantasy just over the weekend. >> you can impeach pens first, the problem is donald trump then has to name his replacement. i think that may be a deal could be struck where he was told if he doesn't make and agreements, nancy pelosi becomes the president the president to. >> laura: talk about the pending essay impeachment. of >> laura, i'd like to laugh, except that this is so serious, this is completely as possible. this is got to stop. >> laura: again, this is the way they do business now. we do not do the people's business, we do the smear machine. we don't like trump, yet the

smear him, and drive him out of restaurants. now they are trying not to intimidate him from going to speak in america cities, robert. the mayor of minneapolis trying to prevent trump from going to speak there on thursday. what does that tell you? >> and tells you the same thing, which is also on the off the pages of the year in our times this morning, they're scarcely talking about impeaching early and preaching often. if this does not work, they'll come up with the another basis and it will keep doing this for as long as president trump as president including into the second term if he is reelected to. again, the country's best interest this is got to come to an end. >> laura: roberts, thank you so much, always great to see you. my angle will expose the rank hypocrisy of the ultra woke mba caving to the communist chinese. david hansen tells us, what does this all really all about and the new age of progressivism?

stifling free speech, brutalizing political dissidents, christians, muslims there, reeducation camps, apparently that's all fine. we love what they are all about. if the nba wanted to use games as a tool of social change, would it not be appropriate to cancel the games in china? given their horrendous human rights record? the persecution? imprisonments? the dissidents and anyone really who speaks their conscience and perhaps against the brutal regime? would that be a nice change? >> i never imagined this could happen in the 21st century. innocent people subjected to tops on their hands, shackled to come up like hoods over their heads. >> every day they tosses a little bread and water, and every day they would interrogate

going to look for chinese viewers and european viewers and we were to make the necessary political adjustments to get that cash and profit. it reminds me of another point that i think the subtext of the whole issue and that is, the greatest achievements of donald trump's first administration so far has been at the 11th hour that he woke america. at the chinese were so insidious i wall street and so silicon valley, and professional sports, from the interior of the united states, destroying our own freedom of choice and he was the first person to call of the bipartisan establishment to say, you know what, this cannot go on. it's going to destroy the country and i think the 11th hour we are starting to wake up and it's really distasteful to see all these people like lebron james and all these lecturers on virtue to be so cowardly and have no virtue when

turkey to move in and politicians on both sides of the aisle are calling this a bad move. they've done so much for us, but he's going to pull out troops out of syria and the use of fourth from 2001 sponsored by tom in september 18th. 2001, still authorizing military force in the middle east which i'm not wild about. what about our current allies? putting the things on the line for us in our mission. >> were trying to put a square on the circle come up with are not our legal allies in terms of her legal allies but they are not our friends. so we are at a dilemma where everybody is shooting each other and yes, every time we thoughts in the last 20 or 30 years, they've been on our side so i think what we need to do is find a way that's not antithetical to the trumps agenda were not going to the optional no-win, new lose

endless wars. looking to protect people that have helped us. i think we can do that, but the problem is that we in the united states are pledged to help independent people, the greeks, the armenians, the israeli, difficult geographies, we always have and the ironies is throughout history they've often been targeted by whom? the turks. if yes, come to their aid when it's not in the cost-benefit analysis, i think trauma can find a way, mike pompeo had great success and grace right away establishing a slow reestablishing. i think that's what he's going to have to work on. >> >> laura: it's probably more complicated than people think it is right now. again, he said he's going to pull us out of these wars. he's doing what he said he's going to do, people voted for that.

if congress wants to have another use of military force authorization, they better be voting. that means the squad, aoc, they should all have to vote for them. don't die out on 2001, that's a long time ago, victor. they get so much for joining us tonight, that hillary clinton preparing for a third white house run? here, a potential wild card developing when we come back. so when my windshield broke... >> woman: what?! >> vo: ...i searched for someone who really knew my car. i found the experts at safelite autoglass. >> woman: hi! >> vo: with their exclusive technology, they fixed my windshield... then recalibrated the camera attached to my glass so my safety systems still work. who knew that was a thing?! >> woman: safelite has service i can trust. >> singers: ♪ safelite repair, safelite replace. ♪

moderates who aren't interested in elizabeth warren and i really think bernie's chance was in 2016. if so, there are opportunities here, i just don't think it's hillary clinton, i think that people who are under that age of 51, there's a great dark horse in this race completely underrated and that's beto o'rourke. >> laura: are you kidding me? wait, wait a second debate of >> he is a personal connection to be -- >> laura: really. speak up because are connected. of >> laura: beta or recklessness on china today i like what he said about mba and china today. sorry, but what about this, hillary clinton, he feels like she got robbed, she feels that over and over. >> there's no question that hillary would love to get her way into the oval office.

if i just do not think it's going to happen. it is true that the three democrats in the lead are all faltering in different ways. joe biden, i mean the bubbling, this doubling, the correction, corruption, which on the rackets been happily running in china, also in the ukraine, of course, elizabeth warren is stiff as a board. i can't even imagine her getting into the mud with the greatest moderate wrestler of all time, donald trump, so for these reasons, it's a look of other people, but really? i think hillary clinton could not even suffer a second loss. i do not even know what that would do it to her. >> laura: elizabeth warren elaborate tall tailed, catching up to her. at last week we were the first on television to expose one of them. back in 2007, she said she quit her teaching job, ethan, because she did not have enough credentials. then, more than a decade later,

this is her story. >> teaching the special kids is a calling. but i finished the first year physically pregnant. back in those days, you didn't get invited back. >> laura: they obtained documents from the riverdale board of education to prove warren's contract was renewed for a second year. of that resigned from teaching a little more than two months later. so, ethan, that media conveniently ignoring the story. the narrative that she is telling is false. similar to the narrative regarding her ancestry that was very attractive being native american as she is, or she said she was, but this seems like a little bit of a pattern here. >> that's a regrettable error on the part of the brilliant senator warren who i disagree on the course of this, i think she would be phenomenal at the base

with president trump as with vice president joe biden, and bernie would do quite well as well. but, unforced errors are always regrettable and she really is brilliant, she's a great attorney, great dresser, she is brilliant on the debate stage, but unforced errors really are going to catch up if she continues to make these -- it's not helping her case to overtake vice president biden. >> laura: so, biden, let's talk about biden, why does warren have to talk about stories about her life she just naturally so brilliant and debates. if she's never been nicked in the debate by anybody. >> this is part of the problem is that her narrative is the narrative of our privileged white women who is not content with having the female card to play in the affirmative action and having to play the native american card so she can be due for a patent not just a woman but a woman of color and

so described in the review and other places like that. if she uses this, it was in and out first, these were cutting moves that she made to manage her career. it's embarrassing to her now and so she's trying to recreate the fictional narrative sort of abraham lincoln style of having grown up in the log cabin, having been persecuted all along the way. i think this is not unforced error, but this is ultimately to create a fake narrative about who she is. >> laura: gentlemen, thank you so much tonight, coming up, think about this now. democrats are attempting to remove duly elected president of the united states. they will not cooperate with republicans. the refusing to release testimonies and transcripts. why is not anybody calling them out? musical musica

to be secret because we have to protect the identity of the whistle-blower. there has been a new report in "the washington post" saying that they're considering maybe they have the whistle-blower testify, it will be a remote to -- >> laura: let's put that up on the screen, okay. these are the measures that democrats are willing to take. put the whistle-blower in a separate location away from the capital. this is the state of the union, many of the vice presidents of the cabinets. the camera that the distorts te face and changes the voice. so behind the screen and the partition, very dramatic how they're revealing him on the screen, this audio only testimony. it's like a reveal, byron, that's freaky. >> if you look at the law on this, the whistle-blower protection pack, it says that the inspector general shall not disclose the name of the whistle-blower unless he determines that the disclosure is unavoidable in the course of

the end education. >> laura: chris, you been around the block, you know this inside out. adam schiff is in control of the transcript. really, and control of this process. not knowing who this person is and maybe another whistle-blower, i don't even know if if they would be counting as it was but they're called whistle-blowers. what about a? >> we have to acknowledge why we are here. of the criminal justice system under bill barr has been removed as a political weapon. so no longer can the criminal justice system be used for political gain here. so, now, while they are left with is the impeachment process. even impeachment processes, they have some sort of due process. adam schiff, a risible sort of the herman melvin novel "moby dick," and due process,

confront the accuser sprayed accusers. and it looks like one of those third world countries or some dictatorship like in china russia, iran, north korea. we are better than this. >> laura: this is a deep state whistle-blower revenge from the outside. again, we will find out more. a for sure looks like that. they got bill barr on there, you got durham, and then you suddenly have the detailed leak from the cia hanging out at the white house here from other people listening. this is just outrageous that this is even allowed to happen. i put those calls in a locked box somewhere too given that were going down to the white house. >> that's all very clever, you can something that's very sacrosanct in our society, the whistle-blower, now they're using that process in a very cynical way. and now, defaulting to impeachment which is an entirely political process, i come at it

from someone with experience in the criminal justice system and it was abhorrent by myself and my colleagues and my former colleagues as well, that the fbi was politicized. so, now we see them moving away from that and getting into another area. >> laura: it's a last straw for them. but, jamie raskin commented from delaware is calling this all desperate. >> this cannot go on this way. i mean, it's impossible to believe that the democrats will be able to run and impeachment, to propose -- >> laura: maryland. >> proposed to him remove that president on the basis of secret information. the president has to be removed, we cannot tell you why, but we have got good reasons. you need to trust us on this. i just will not work, at some point, very soon, we are going to have to hear what these witnesses are saying. >> laura: byron, great to have you both on tonight, thank you so much and coming up, what's more annoying to a democratic

presidential candidate than truth? i will reveal in tonight's last fight. ter portfolios. fisher investments tailors portfolios to your goals and needs. some only call when they have something to sell. fisher calls regularly so you stay informed. and while some advisors are happy to earn commissions whether you do well or not. fisher investments fees are structured so we do better when you do better. maybe that's why most of our clients come from other money managers. fisher investments. clearly better money management.

>> laura: it's time for the last bite. hey, kamala, what's bugging you tonight? speak of the reality of it -- there so many little ponds i could make right now. even republicans who have been real defenders of the president.

>> produce bipartisan legislation? [laughter] >> laura: that was like a trumpet inspired insect drone was flying -- it was better than her dance. there is some good moves there. it's a cheap shot. that's all the time we have tonight. shannon bream, the "fox news @ night" team have it all from here. shannon. >> shannon: doesn't matter how hard to concentrate when there something like that buzzing around your face. >> laura: happens to all of us. >> shannon: in a studio here tonight, none of them. we start out tonight with fox news alert. president trump looking forward with his america first policies. making a controversial decision to pull u.s. troops back from northern syria as a second whistle-blower comes forward claiming to have firsthand knowledge of the ukrainian phone calls. the president says democrats didn't think he would, he's already released details of the call. what he thinks is pushing them
