you can right now personalize it to you. we will never be the hate to trump media mob ever. we pursue truth here. let not your hearts be troubled because laura ingraham is here in the house in the swamp. >> laura: you want to hear a little behind the scenes, a regarding ali? >> sean: okay. >> laura: i ran into him outside of the elevator and i came in like a big mess. five bags in my hand and he says luck, and he has a cute little spaniel and i say, is that a boykin spaniel customer at the cutest dog, like a little bird dog. he said, nobody knows what that is. a boykin spaniel. a beautiful little dog. i said is this a therapy dog? are you where the president is going to get impeached? >> sean: good grief. the guy went to iran with a

suicide pill in case anything happens. >> sean: he didn't skip a beat here just making sure everything is okay. >> sean: you both are great, he's doing a book signing now. laura, you have a killer show. >> laura: we do. we have mccarthy, we are picking up where you left off. terrific show tonight. all right, we will talk to you tomorrow. i'm laura ingraham. this is "the ingraham angle." what you need to know about the impeachment report the democrats just released. we look at the real answers, not the leftist spin for you tonight. minority leader mccarthy's going to present the house republicans' response. alan dershowitz and robert ray will break down why the headline charges and tonight's report are same old same old. nothing new and a zero constitutional basis for this. plus, steve scalise and andy biggs, this is a great lineup, explains why jerry nadler's missionary

hearing might be a bigger sham than schiff and that is going to be a little later. then i expose how the democrats' impeachments do may need a redo. then, it was not said in poll numbers and a lack of cash brought kamala harris' campaign crashing down today. are you ready for this? racism and sexism. now they are eating their own on those charges. charlie hurt's is going to break all that down for us and the media's latest distortion. but first, on a straight party line vote, house intel committee democrats and approved their impeachment report a few hours ago and it claims there is overwhelming evidence that trump misused his office to pressure ukraine to investigate biden and obstructed the house and impeachment inquiry along the way b of the report also includes nine key findings of fact. i should put fact," that makes

specific charges against the president. we will get into those in a moment. despite having his name at the top of the report. congressman adam schiff really wants you to believe that he is struggling to decide how he will ultimately vote on impeachment. >> i'm going to reserve any kind of public judgment on that until i have a chance to consult with my colleagues, with our leadership, and i think this really needs to be a decision that we all make as a body. so i'm going to continue to reserve judgment. >> laura: wasn't that a prayerful moment? you can't even take him seriously after hearing that. house republican leadership rightfully ripped the entire report to shreds. >> not only was there no quid pro quo, but ukraine got the money and ultimately, there was no push that they made for investigation into anything. >> even with every unfair

advantage and unprecedented advantage they gave themselves, they have now come out of this and fundamentally failed to prove their case. >> was there a quid pro quo? this will be the first impeachment that has ever had with honestly disputed -- not just disputed facts and why they want to impeach the president, but actually contradicted facts. >> laura: republicans are unified and later on i'm going to share hilarious sound that happened on the other cable earlier today. they are melting down about how unified the republicans are. it's a choice. you don't want to miss it. meanwhile, report after report that the democrats are struggling over whether to expand the articles of impeachment. it's like a piece of silly putty when you push it down on the comics and you could stretch it and make it look like whatever you want. this is worthy of note. democrats' uncertainty, as some legacy media members literally up in arms. >> the entire republican party is united around one message right now, protecting the president be up at the

democratic party is not. the democratic candidates get off on impeachment. if you thought that he should be removed from office immediately, is in the move, nobody campaigned for three weeks question rick the presidential candidates are not on the same message. that is a problem. >> laura: may be because the people don't want to hear that message. joining me now house minority leader kevin mccarthy. congressman, democrats do seem to be on a runaway train at the moment. they are not pulling back. >> they don't know where to go. they don't know how to end this thing. it's like they are driving the car trying to fix the engine at the same time. they are just lost. you even hear democrats saying, maybe we should censure him because they have no facts. everything they look to see comes back to the basics. there is nothing impeachable the president has done. >> laura: he cited george washington at the beginning of the report. did you see they had an acknowledgment? i thought this was a playbill. i would like to thank my agent, my publicist. it was unbelievable. they had a line. i wish we had a picture of it.

they had a line of all the people, all of these people who should be working for the interests of ame being thanked like they are members of a traveling show. >> it's like the play. he has written it all out, he just doesn't have any facts to fill it all in. the saddest part of all of this, think of what is happening right now. the president is overseas defending our country and they are back home dividing our country. that is what's wrong with this. that's why this president is being presidential and they are doing exactly what they always said they would do. for adam schiff to sit there and lie once again in the press conference, not knowing how he is going to vote? a couple weeks ago he was in california speaking to all the democrats, we are going to send him back to the golden throne. this is all he has wanted to do, and he will do anything to get it. he will continue to lie, if that's what it takes. the one i'm going to get into this a little bit more later on in the hour but i was literally howling out loud this afternoon watching some of these media types. i don't think they remember a

time when republicans were this unified and what does it tell you when the republicans are unified, whether it was behind kavanaugh, this, other ways to support the president's agenda? there is no stopping them. republicans are usually ripping each other to shreds and how the democrats are gnashing their teeth. the voters don't seem to be buying this. they don't want to taste this thing we are cooking up. on the republicans are like, you have nothing and you know it. it's a great moment. >> we've never been so united. these democrats are scared. they are actually going trying to ask the speaker, do something else. >> laura: what is the crime? what is the crime? >> even their top witnesses. when john ratcliffe asked him, can you name me one thing that is impeachable question rick their best witnesses couldn't name a thing. >> laura: "the washington post" reported late last night, how has judiciary dems have been privately discussing the possibility of bringing up high crimes that they argue are

clearly outlined in the mueller report. or allegations that trump has used the office for personal reasons. i don't know what else they talked about. they know that what they have isn't palatable -- people are getting ready for the holidays. final exams, they've got their shopping. enjoying this economy. they're going to go back to robert mueller and dredge up that old corpse of a report? >> they are admitting they don't have anything, they were admitting that there was a quid pro quo, then they focus group and came up with the word bribery. they haven't come up with anything. it's been 70 days and speaker pelosi started us on this nightmare. had she waited 48 hours, we would never be here. >> laura: giver pull her aside and do you ever have a moment, come on? i want to think you guys can all talk.

i've made mistakes. can you give her an off-ramp? anything you can give her? >> if she could just stop this -- you know what she should do? she should take her own quote of march that impeachment would divide the country so there has to be overwhelming, compelling, and bipartisan. that was her criteria for them to move forward. bipartisan. >> laura: if they want to know what desperation is and how bad it is out there, watch this. >> democrats shouldn't have to make people care. half the country used to care about people that broke laws. half the country used to care about people who were complicit with russian agents. half the country used to care. >> we are talking about complete anarchy here. >> we have to find a way to take what is happening and make it so compelling to a boater because otherwise, we are going to get four more years of donald trump. >> laura: bingo! he had to spill out the truth at the end. he's going to win.

>> that is what they are afraid of. >> laura: it's like an actor on stage, please applaud for me. begging people. people don't care. the 11th hour, we have to make people care. congressman, i'm sorry, but i don't even take these people seriously. this is goofy at this point. >> i had a democrat tell me today that if they continue down this path, republicans will be in the majority. this is a democrat member of congress saying that because he was exactly right in what you just watched there. the only concern they are afraid of, they can't beat this man so they will try to make something up. >> laura: you get power back, you guys going to do the reform? all the stuff we need to do with the border? you've got to do this asylum reform. >> this is where everybody has to take a deep breath, as the republicans are right now. we are a big ten. we come from all areas. we need to keep this unity to move this country forward and we need to invite those democrats that were on the other side,

join with us. if you want to but this country first, we have a place for you and you can join us to do something different instead of just investigate. more subpoenas then you have laws. name me one problem they have solved since they've taken the majority. they've only taken us down a path that has divided a nation instead of uniting us. >> laura: i'm looking forward to the next few days. i really am. congressman, thank you. you take care. i want to do now is take you through the democrats' impeachment report. charge by charge. we will let our legal eagles break it all down. robert ray, former whitewater independent counsel. he knows a thing or two. and alan dershowitz. author of the book "guilt by accusation." the first key finding in the house until report claims that trump solicited the interference of a foreign government, ukraine, in the 2020 u.s. presidential election to benefit himself, politically. did the inquiry and the findings

actually prove that, professor? >> it doesn't really matter whether they approve it because there wouldn't be an impeachable offense. it's not even close. what they say in the report is that he put his own electoral interests over the national interests of the united states. that became a criteria for impeachment, half of our presidents could be impeached. how many presidents put their electoral interests before the national interests? it's too bad and if they do you can take that into account when voting for somebody but even if the evidence were to establish that it does not, in my view, establish what it claims it does, it would even be close to being an impeachable offense. >> laura: remember when obama leaned over and said, i will tell vladimir and have more flexibility after the election? what was that saying? i would agree with you. the house until report also claims that using the power of the office of the president and exercising authority over the executive branch, president trump ordered and

implemented a campaign to conceal his conduct from the public and obstruct the house of representatives. the report goes on to outline examples of this, identifying and including defying house subpoenas. is that an impeachable offense? jockeying for whether or not people are going to appear before the house of representatives. >> that is in interbranch argument. it has been tried before. it was part of the watergate impeachment effort and it was also something that was raised during the clinton impeachment, but in the past, if history is any guide, it is the weakest basis in order to engineer and impeachment effort because it really goes to questions about power between the respected branches of government. when it gets to questions that are legitimate about exertions of executive privilege, trying

to equate that with obstruction of justice, frankly, is weak at best. and the argument that that really constitutes an impeachable offense becomes more of a process argument that doesn't go to the merits. notice also hear that you are so far away from talking about what i thought this was supposed to be about, which was efforts by the democrats to contend that this really was bribery. you don't hear bribery in either of those -- it's extremely dangerous. read federalist 75. what hamilton says is that the judiciary is the empire between the executive and the legislative. the legislator is not supreme in this country as it is in england and parliamentary democracy. none can comply to a subpoena if he believes he has privilege. he can invite the legislator to go to court and if the court ruled he has to provide the

information, then obviously he has to do so but absent of the court ruling, you're absolutely right. intergovernmental squabble which should be resolved by the courts, but it is not grounds for impeachment. >> laura: here's what the president said today. he was over at the nato meeting, and he referenced this event tomorrow where you are going to have a bunch of law professors, no offense, professor. but law professors -- >> they didn't include me include me. >> laura: so they are not really law professors, but a number of law professors including a professor who was at uva, full disclosure when i was there as a law student, pam carlin, who is very well respected as a solid liberal. watch. >> they get three constitutional lawyers. total nonsense, they're just wasting their time. and we get one. okay, nobody doesn't know anything about constitutional law but they get three and we

get one. that can't be too good. but that is the way it is. >> laura: guys come is not a big deal? three against one quest market is true. all of them have expressed in one way or another there extreme dislike for this president. it does this matter? it certainly doesn't matter to the public at large but does this matter, professor dershowitz? >> yes, it does. if the shoe were on the other foot, if this were an impeachment of hillary clinton, we would get some of these experts saying exactly the opposite from what they are saying. some of them have expressed views in the past, when clinton was impeached, as has jerry nadler, which would be exactly the opposite appeared to be an expert you always have to pass the issue on the other foot test. say exactly the same thing, regardless of who the person was who was being subject to impeachment. i passed that test. i wonder how many of these experts from the democrats would pass that test. >> laura: democrats also

levied this charge against the president. president trump ordered the suspension of $391 million in literary assistance are urgently needed by ukraine because the aide was appropriated by congress on a bipartisan basis, signed into law by the president. expenditure was required by law. the support outlines this as an example of unprecedented wrongdoing, though, what we learned in the public testimony was in fact the opposite. speak at the past year, and was withheld from pakistan. >> yes, sir. why? >> because of unhappiness over policies of the pakistani government pakistani government. >> was aide also withheld from honduras? >> aide was withheld from three states in northern and central america, yes. >> where they withheld in lebanon? >> yes, sir. >> were you given a reason why it was withheld? >> no. >> laura: why is holding up ukrainian aide illegal, but not aid to honduras? speak at that is a ridiculous argument.

let's just get down to brass tacks here. the best argument that could be made about this is that the president was required to release the funds prior to the end of the fiscal year, which, guess what actually happened? that is the most that could be said for this so i don't know where that argument goes. there is nothing improper about the president exercising his authority to temporarily withhold aid, and it has been done before, as your clip just pointed out. the only thing you can say counter to that is that the president was obligated, if he didn't consult with congress first, to release the aide prior to the end of the fiscal year, and that is exactly what happened. >> laura: fantastic. thank you so much. coming up, why our president trump and his allies ecstatic that jerry nadler is taking control of the impeachment shame? congressman scalise is going to tell us next. >> tech: so you think this chip is nothing to worry about?

well at safelite, we know sooner or later every chip will crack. these friends were on a trip when their windshield got chipped. so they scheduled at safelite.com. they didn't have to change their plans or worry about a thing. i'll see you all in a little bit. and i fixed it right away with a strong repair they can trust. plus, with most insurance a safelite repair is no cost to you. >> customer: really?! >> tech: being there whenever you need us that's another safelite advantage. >> singers: safelite repair, safelite replace.

♪ >> laura: if adam schiff riding herd on impeachment is bad, it's about to get a lot worse. house judiciary chair jerry nadler is taking over a period of the "washington examiner"'s reporting, of president trump say they are eager for jerry nadler to take the helm of the impeachment proceedings this week, predicting he will harm the democratic case against trump. how can you get any lower? republicans in the white house say that democrats are vulnerable to claims of hypocrisy and prone to lash out in an unbecoming manner. they are right. here is how nadler felt about impeachment when a democratic president was under fire. >> the impeachment of a

president is in undoing of a national election. they are telling us that our votes don't count. >> there must never be a narrowly voted impeachment or supported by one party but opposed by the other. the silver lining may be that with a trial in the senate, we may be able to find out who started this coup d'etat. this coup d'etat will go down in infamy in the history of this nation. >> laura: totally, totally agree. joining me now, three republican congressmen. steve scalise, lee zeldin, house foreign affairs committee, and andy biggs, let's start with y you. are republicans going to remind nadler of these previous statements? >> i think it is a fair prediction that we will remind him of what we've said in the past and also provide the context for what he has said and compared to what they are doing to this president today. when he thought it was so unfair to president clinton, they gave

president clinton so much more due process. >> laura: two and a half weeks to prepare. they drop this dime on trump seven days ago, five days to prepare and they didn't even know the witnesses. now it is like a law seminar tomorrow with three law professors. i feel like i will getting continuing education credit tomorrow. >> that is part of the problem. 19 legal scholars came in last time. this time you have four, three of which are stacked against the president, that it's for sure. >> laura: a lot of people on the left are claiming the reason y'all are complaining is because you can't really make it on the substance. watch. >> they've actually sounded particularly juvenile because they protested that they weren't having open hearings, there were no transcripts, we hadn't had a floor vote. we've done all of that and they are still arguing about the process. >> laura: just process question recorded by rudy's call ledger and all of that? >> i would love to be able to

talk substance. we know now -- we didn't know this going in but ukraine didn't know there was a hole on aid president zelensky didn't know until the politico article appeared the hold gets lifted and he doesn't have to do anything to get the hold lifted. you want to talk substance? these are facts. let's talk about it. or you want to rebut a point by telling me your star witnesses were told by morrison that the president told ambassador sondland -- >> laura: she told two friends, and she told two friends. >> he held up a poster at his press conference and he had two ambassador sondland quotes on there. what he forgets to point out is that sondland said he was guessing when he said that. he hadn't spoken to anyone on the planet about there being a quid pro quo linking aid to ukraine with investigations. so let's talk about substance. let's talk about process, and you will lose, and let's talk about substance, and you will be left without a darn thing left

to impeach the president with. >> laura: what was amazing in this report, among a lot in the hundreds of pages of nonsense, they kept asserting as facts basically their theories. as everyone knows, it is not established at all, that trump was trying to help his reelection. that was never established as fact at all. further, this is what they claim. from the impeachment report talking about the white house counsel. his letter advanced markedly politicized arguments, saying they are not going to participate tomorrow. if allowed to stand, the president's defiance as justified would represent an existential threat to the nation's constitutional system of checks and balances, separation of powers, and rule of law. so the white house counsel is saying we are not going to be a part of your circus is an existential threat to our checks and balances? >> wow. this thing from the beginning has been a circus.

and if you talk about jerry nadler, the clip you just showed, that is going to be repeated over and over again, because what nadler talked about back then were things that hold true still to this day. there is nothing to impeach this president on. unlike clinton. there were actual crimes committed by bill clinton, whether they were impeachable you could argue but they were crimes. with this president, they have tried. it is a violation of law but they failed to show that the president broke any laws so they just keep going on a witch hunt and it started with the president was tied, the interference with the elections, then the president was tied to conclusion, then it was obstruction. >> laura: some democrats want to expand this. they want to throw in -- >> some democrats are starting to realize this is a disaster. they don't know where to go with this because they have put themselves in a hole and they can't get out of it. >> laura: this is an identity crisis for the democrats. who are they, what are they,

what did they stand for? some of the swing district democrats are sweating this because they said that they were going to be working with the president on issues that they found common ground on. so far, what have those orange county democrats done for the country lately? >> that is their big problem. they have 31 districts that are competitive and they are really concerned, because many of those districts actually have a higher approval rating for the president, even including democrats. so what that means is you are going to impeach a president for no reason at all. they can't substantiate anything and at the same time, you're going to put your members at risk and nancy pelosi has a chance to go down as the first speaker in history to lose the majority twice and it will be because of this faux impeachment. >> laura: i forgot about that, she would've lost it twice. the impeachment report also says the president undermined national security. apparently we are going to stave

off an attack from watt, russia, through pf? i don't understand this , but trump's scheme to undermine our national security in favor of two politically motivated investigations that would've helped his presidential reelection campaign. >> gave me a break. something, the legal aid that president obama wouldn't have done, president trump did multiple times. >> laura: i would say even if he didn't bring them javelins, how does that directly affect america's national security? it might be bad policy. >> in u.s. national security interests, look into any allegation where ukrainians are in fact interfering in the 2016 election. the democrat position -- >> laura: they say it is a conspiracy theory. they say it is all parroting russian propaganda. all day long. russian propaganda paired all of you guys. but it's propaganda peered all russian assets. to speak at the president didn't

do anything wrong and ultimately the victim they are trying to claim was zelensky and zelensky himself said nothing wrong was . he got the aid, there was no pressure, yet they want to make him as a victim and he wasn't. he stood up to russia and helped ukraine and obama didn't do it. >> laura: this morning, msnbc smeared attorney general barr over his concerns about the upcoming ig report on fisa abuse. >> this is really disappointing behavior on the part of the attorney general. >> i can't believe that someone with his experience, with his resume, would want to end it this way, basically, as a trum trump-ist hack. >> laura: "the new york times" is reporting that john durham has already unearthed evidence that supports mr. barr's uncertainty on the findings.

>> 1000% chance that these people are going to end up eating these words. they should keep their powder dry until they actually read the report because there is no doubt. there is a 100% chance that there will be an uncovering of wrongdoing. i'm confident in his work and we have an attorney general who is serious about it. he will get to the bottom of it. i'm rooting him on and i'm telling them, keep your powder dry. you will eat those words. >> laura: pulitzer prize winner, i think. he is a vaunted journalist. >> the pulitzer prize has just been devalued, if we can put it that way. they are going to eat their words. steve is going to be right here, because evidence is going to come in. we know it's there. that is why they expanded from the ig pier that is why durum expanded his investigation and it's going to be embarrassing for them to have to respond and say -- they will just move on. if you don't know shame you are not going to feel shame and they

want to feel it. >> when we were in the majority we already covered abuses of fisa court. it should concern all americans because we need to have confidence that the fisa court works properly. i hope attorney general barr uncovers all of the bad apples that are over there because there are still bad apples the there. everyone who is confidence in fbi and every intelligence agency should want to get to the bottom of this, get the bad apples out of there, some should go to jail because of what they did to violate the law. let's make the process work for all americans. >> laura: all the democrats care about is smearing. these loyal patriotic servants. a lot of loyal people working in the government, no doubt. maybe they don't like president trump but still good people. what they have tried to do to barr and all these other people is so transparent. congressman, thank you. we will have you back on. in moments, my ankle is going to expose how the democrats' impeachments do. what this reveals about high

crimes and misdemeanors. they are throwing more ingredients into the mix be they want to expand the investigation and the charges because the ingredients they threw into the pot, nobody wants to taste that. stay there. this holiday season

choose the longest lasting aa battery...

(music) energizer ultimate lithium backed by science. matched by no one. >> laura: dems' impeachments do. that is the focus of tonight's "angle." watching the democrats and their media cronies desperately making the case for impeachment is a little like watching a cooking show when the recipe falls flat, just start improvising. >> or you can just cream it up. tender appeared to take a handful of watercress, stems and all, and do it again. >> laura: after weeks of hearings and a zero conclusive evidence, schiff unveiled his big report today. his impeachments do is not

exactly flying off the many years. but that is okay. schiff thinks he can save the entree with some new ingredients. >> we continue to investigate whether this began earlier than expected, whether it also involved with the last president of ukraine. >> laura: this recipe keeps going and going. it's been simmering for two years and it is still not ready for consumption. but that has never stopped him before. there have been lots of hands in this impeachment pot from day one. it started back in february of 2017 with the russia hoax. >> the word is that there is collusion. i don't see how that wouldn't be an impeachable offense but i don't know from a legal standpoint. but to rise to the level that the kinds of things people will consider impeachable. >> laura: when the public didn't seemed to care, democrats reached for the pepper grinder. >> mr. trump, who is the

president, fire the fbi director who was investigating him. and he so much as said he did it because of the investigation. that is obstruction of justice. that is an impeachable act. >> laura: when that didn't pan out the left began throwing around the idea of invoking the 25th amendment. >> i can tell you one thing, he is not behaving like he is fit for office. he's behaving extremely erratically. he is not giving the american people or our allies around the world any sense that there is a rationale for the decisions that he is making. >> i can tell you every day i question whether or not we can endure another two years. >> laura: then you have to add a side of racism and bigotry to the mix. >> i now announce that before christmas, there will be a vote on the chief insighter of

racism, sexism, xenophobia, ethnocentrism. >> laura: that failed to what the public's appetite. then they had to bring in chef robert mueller. >> based on what we've seen from the mueller report there is certainly enough to bring up articles of impeachment regarding abuse of power, obstruction of justice, and contempt of congress. >> laura: but when the mueller report went up in smoke, they try to sprinkle in a pinch of the emoluments clause. >> that could be grounds for impeachment. >> laura: that burned up, too, so the democrats needed a new recipe, something that they could wake up quickly before the end of the year. they found just the thing. ukrainian borscht. >> that part of the scandal, the leverage part of the scandal, the withholding military aid from ukraine. >> you don't learn about the withholding of the aid until only days before our trip to ukraine. >> withholding military

assistance is a law that the president violated, and he abused his power. that is unacceptable. >> laura: when republicans demanded to know the whistleblower's identity, democrats through that into the impeachment pot as well. >> demanding to out the whistleblower, this could well be a violation of federal whistleblower protection laws. it is also the kind of thing that could end up being one of the articles of impeachment against the president. >> laura: once the collusion between the whistleblower and adam schiff, that was exposed, democrats needed a new culinary distraction. to get the public to look away from the kitchen altogether. they seized on trump's tweet about former ukrainian ambassador marie yovanovitch. >> you would think this should be added to articles of impeachment? >> it should be considered because there is strong evidence of intimidation. >> laura: in the end it was off or not, as even the

democrats's most friendly food critics seemed dissatisfied with their latest culinary offering. >> because it is the president who is using his bully pulpit to do this, are we powerless to do anything until the election? >> i think the impeachment hearings were, in a sense, a missed opportunity to lay the historical record. >> democrats have two choices. go big or go small. they appear to be going small. >> laura: hoops. it was like awake over there at msnbc today. they can't fake excitement anymore. they know this thing is a dud and it has been all along. now despite the rapid charges and the hearsay, nothing, and i mean nothing, has been proven. now there are reports that chef nadler is weighing whether to take the old mueller report out of the freezer and include that in his article of impeachment souffle. but as the democrats will learn shortly, no matter what they throw into their impeachment

stew, lacking any evidence or bipartisan support, this is a dish the american people will not swallow. in that is "the angle." up next, as another democrat's presidential campaign goes up in flames, we have a special tribute. plus, why is msnbc calling democrat voters basically sexist and racist customer carly fletcher and charlie hurt explain next oss related to aging? prevagen is the number one pharmacist-recommended memory support brand. you can find it in the vitamin aisle in stores everywhere. prevagen. healthier brain. better life.

weeks after she announced, we had to listen to them talk about her. she is the one to beat. they are the same people who said donald trump would never win the white house in 2016. but the real problem for her is that she is a faker, and she ran against her record. honestly, i would've said, okay, prosecutor from san francisco. if she wants to defend all of that and run on that record -- >> laura: and say i'm going to get tough californians in trouble. i'm a different kind of democrat. but the party is too far left now. >> exactly, she ran away from all of that. when she runs away from all of that, she exposes herself as a faker and a fraud and this is what happens. >> laura: the panel over at msnbc, they were having a tough day today. i have to be fair to them. the report was a dud. the report was dead, the impeachment report they know it is not flying. but then they decided to turn their focus to how unfairly she has been treated. watch.

>> she is dealing in an environment where you have for the first time these kinds of rules that are different. >> was she treated badly by the dnc question record she treated badly by the press? >> she was definitely treated badly by the press. >> she was such an engaging candidate. she is genuine, she is warm, she is sparkling. >> i do think women are held to different standards as candidates. >> women are held to different standards, and black women especially. >> laura: all right, there is a lot there. >> sparkling, i guess that is what she's got left. she fell apart not because of the coverage, but live coverage showed her saying things that she said. that is her problem. charlie is right about her being a faker but i knew she was in trouble when she was asked about getting rid of private insurance and she said, yeah, get rid of it appeared as if it was a throwaway line she never considered the policy implications of going with medie for all by getting rid of private health insurance. you can do that when you're

running for president but the other thing i got such a kick out of today as when he saw the coverage of her leading the race, democrats are being accused of white supremacy because the next debate is all white people. >> laura: we have a sound bit bite. again with al sharpton, who was none too happy today. >> incredible news today, kamala harris dropping out of the 2020 presidential race. this becomes an older and whiter field for the top tier candidates. >> it certainly does. >> the real problem the democrats are going to have is the next debate you have no black on that stage, and the democratic party cannot have a stage where black voters do not see themselves. >> laura: a woman, a gay man and a jewish american are all on stage but apparently that is not diverse enough. >> al sharpton does have a point. after years and years of being lectured to by the democrats about this sort of thing, the optics of it are absolutely

terrible. >> laura: you play with sharpton and that is what you get. >> if you live by identity politics he will die by identity politics. what is so wrong is, what about ideas? she didn't lose because of the color of her skin, it was her lack of ideas. that mattered more. >> laura: people say, she had a great debate performance. i never saw that. i must have missed something. she has to have some brainpower, she can't be that dumb a person. but she didn't connect. it has nothing to do with race, nothing to do with the fact that she is a woman. >> when they talk about how great she is at prosecuting witnesses and senate hearings and things like that, i don't know. obviously she was a pretty good lawyer back in san francisco, but i don't feel that. and i think this thing here where everybody says come of all that i think this -- >> laura: but the media gets it wrong, they talk to each other. "the new york times" talks to cnn, it's just in the circle, they all talk to each other. >> it is one of the secret

republican advantages. the media gets things such wrong peer to such bad analysts. they said trump couldn't win in 2016, then they get surprised by reality. >> laura: gentlemen, so great to see you. so great to see you in town. charlie i see all the time. up next we've got our hands on a new video that shows what nato leaders were really saying about president trump when they didn't know that camera was rolling. the tape next. rong repair that you can trust. plus, with most insurance a safelite repair is no cost to you. >> customer: really?! >> singers: safelite repair, safelite replace.

♪ >> laura: it's time for the last bite. just got our hands on new video, nato leaders were caught on hot mike's talking about president trump behind his back.

>> laura: [laughs] what next? are they going to bring out the burn book from "mean girls?" we are totally not inviting them to the next sorority mixer. they are just mad that trump dominated. shannon bream and the "fox news @ night" team take it all from here. shannon? >> shannon: all of life really is like middle school. i try to tell people, it doesn't matter if you're 50. it is still the same. >> laura: it does not bear to have a great show. >> shannon: thanks, laura. i'm shannon bream in washington, we begin with a fox news alert. the democrats next big step in their impeachment process, hearing the house judiciary committee. a 300 page report released tonight, house and tell him he democrats say the case is clear. we have exclusive white house reaction in a minute, and the former attorney general jeff sessions is here to weigh in on efforts to unseat him. president trump in london for the nato summit where he plans to publicly call out the country for not paying their fair share. we are going to take a loo
