sense of humor. i want to find this woman. she said if you don't find it come back and i will do it again. that's such greatness. we want to give her something. laura ingraham, hi. >> laura: yes. >> sean: people were laughing. i hope she has a good sense of humor. come back in 5 minutes. i want to help you again. >> laura: were you one of those kids who would call 9-11 and order 10 pizzas? >> sean: yes. guilty. >> laura: why did i know that? >> sean: i was incoreigible. >> laura: a got an email i read on air. you were fast asleep by then. one of my viewers said i too often say your show is great.

can't you come up with something. you both say great. i do say that. i have to come up with new adjectives. >> sean: we are in a battle for the soul of this country. you are a warrior. i love what you do every night. i don't apologize for that. >> laura: back at you. >> sean: i want to give that lady something. help us find her. >> laura: get her the butterball fryer you never gave me. >> sean: you are mean. i will tweet it out right now. >> laura: i am laura ingraham and this is "the ingraham angle" from washington tonight. throughout the impeachment sham, we have to come up with a new word for sham, democrats have been lying to you again and again. we will explain how.

it's important we get specific unlike the other crowd that traffics in generalities. then judiciary ranking member doug collins is here. he tells us how he was lied to behind closed doors earlier this week. while confirming the impeachment plunge, speaker pelosi became unhinged. newt gingrich has experience and he will respond. and don't think we forgot about the 2020 democrats on the trail. how the left is cannibalizing itself. candace owens. but first the democrats lies is the focus of tonight's "angle." it was the 1976 film "all of the president's men" that made

impeachment sexy. the journalists chased down a president's lies. >> bernstein. >> you don't have to. i just got off the phone. >> okay, we go with it. >> laura: today the roles are reversed. journalists and democrats are spinning lies and they are not doing it well. we will focus on only five lies the media and democrats told in their quest to remove the president from office. first whopper and it's clever. state your warped opinion, repeat it again and again and then claim it's a fact. >> the facts are uncontested. the president abused his power

for its only personal political benefit at the risk of national security. >> the facts are not contested. >> laura: that is very, very clever. of course the facts are contested. you are trying to pass off our opinions and presumptions as facts. that's not how it goes want not when you want to remove a president from office. the next lie is the claim they are not enjoying every stinking minute of this impeachment push. >> we don't take any glee in this. it's heart breaking. >> we are xharjd with -- charged with a somber responsibility. >> laura: and i would like to thank the requested and my agent for this award. bad acting.

these people are total broads. the third lie has nothing to do with 2020. >> this has nothing to do with politics and everything to do with defending our republic. >> it's not political. >> this has nothing to do with politics. >> laura: nice try nancy. she said this. >> i think the moment for country was a credible respect from a whistleblower. the polls went from 59 opposed

to 34 in favor to it. >> laura: ah-ha. now the 4th lie. pursuing impeachment we the democrats are channelling the founders. >> the founders feared the return of a monarchy in america. >> we sit here with a duty to the founders. >> the founders feared their president could subvert our democracy. >> the founders worried about this type of abuse of power. >> laura: maybe they are talking about the founders of the aclu. maybe those founders. i can any to brainyquote.com and type in madison and jefferson and impeachment and come up with random quotes to support what i think.

most likely the framers would be horrified at the state of the democrat party to say nothing of this ridiculous sprint to a presidential take down. finally the fifth and most glaring lie, democrats are agonizing how they will vote on impeachment. >> i want to reserve judgment. >> i will reserve any kind of a public judgment. >> i have to reserve judgment. >> laura: okay. i am sure nadler, schiff and pelosi are pouring over the transcripts tonight and parsing every word of the trump zelensky transcript. did he mean do me a favor? the truth is nancy pelosi lost control of her caucus in late summer when the thinking of

schiff and the squad prevailed. this president has to go. they could not risk the possibility of him being reelected in 2020. people might reelect him for another 4 years. they had to move to impeach him with whatever they had. a grab bag of ridiculous ideas, chargers and suppositions. even if it was based on hearsay, conjecture and lies. if pelosi, nadler and schiff took their duties of the constitution seriously they would tell the radicals to let the voters decide. don't worry. in 11 short months they will. that's the "angle." our first guest reveals another lie. congressman doug collins from the house judiciary committee.

tell us what happened between you and chairman nadler behind closed doors. >> it was interesting. don't worry, doug, we will get back with you. he never gets back with me. just the other day as i was trying to get information, he just hangs up. i can't even get information from my own chairman about where we are going. there was prior to the fiasco of yesterday. that committee is so lost and scared and they are going to lose this moment to get at the president they have become a farce in our community. it's a travesty to where we should be. >> laura: jim said to me yesterday who is retiring and knows about impeachment. he was an impeachment manager for clinton. he said nadler agreed in one

motion to let the republicans call three witnesses. but when will that happen? didn't he say that to you? >> we are supposed to be able to call witnesses. jim put in for our hearing day. it's in the rules that they are supposed to schedule a hearing day for us. we are still fighting with them. they don't want the truth to come out. all of the things you showed the "angle" is true. the facts are contested. >> laura: they say the facts are not disputed. >> that's crazy. mr. sonland. what irritated me every clip they showed in committee was about opening statements. you are uncontested on your facts. when asked about this, sonland said well, that's what i thought. >> laura: and another guy hearsay a call over a speaker phone in a restaurant.

this is a moment from nancy pelosi tonight. she was selling impeachment this morning. afternoon lunch with fellow congressmen. and then all the way to the night in an hour town hall that was way too long for nancy pelosi. it was sad. this is a moment when capper was pressing her on bipartisanship. >> you were asked about impeachment and you said it would have to be so clearly bipartisan in terms of acceptance of it. there are no republicans in the house who support the impeachment inquiry and none will support impeachment itself. are you failing to meet the standard you set? >> no, the republicans have failed to meet the standard of honoring their oath of office. >> laura: you have failed. this is not bipartisan but she lays it on your lap. >> that's a cute angle for the speaker to take.

it's the republicans fault because they don't understand their oath to the office. yes, we do. it's not to persecute a president with your tears because your candidate lost. the president had a phone call that there was nothing wrong with and worked with president zelensky to get corruption under control. you have the speaker blaming us. that's like saying she wants to blame the sun coming up tomorrow for another day. that's ridiculous. the country deserves better than this. i heard her say the president is dividing us. our democracy is at stake because the democrats keep going after a vote legally held. they want to overturn 63 million voters. >> laura: pelosi spoke at the end of the town hall. this was a moving movement. she was talking about how to bring the country together.

she was asked a question by an audience member. watch. >> politics hasn't always been this way. this divisive. it will take some healing. i myself think that one of the ways america will be healed is through the arts. enjoy music together. you can see a play or a movie. you laugh or cry. you are inspired. you lav, you cry. >> i am laughing and crying right now. >> laura: are you going to a broadway show soon with pelosi? what is this? this would be called incoherrent. >> the leadership of the democratic party. welcome to 2020. the american people deserve better than this. the speaker is disconnected from reality. we are going to play warm music

and everything will get better? stop attacking the president. dot people's work. and stop having impeachment. it's ridiculous. >> laura: monday what happened? >> a presentation of the schiff result. nadler making chicken salad out of schiff. >> laura: senate republicans expose how the democrats place this above the needs of america. >> this very morning, for example, the speaker gave a speech on national television to push forward her rushed and partisan impeachment. not one word on the legislation the american people actually need. nothing on usmcan or the ndaa,

or funding for our armed forces. all impeachment, all the time. >> laura: i don't know i find his read to be funny. here is tony the special advisor to president trump. what is the white doing to prepare for this impeachment? >> what we have done obviously is make our case to the american people. the people did nothing wrong. we went through 2 weeks of democrats who proved nothing impeachable was done. none of this was evidence nor fact. our legal team has been working on this. we anticipated that politics would get the best of nancy pelosi and adam schiff. they can't help themselves. they are filled with personal animosity to the president and can't get over the 2016 election results and want to interfere

with the 2020 results. >> laura: nancy pelosi was asked specifically about this tonight. watch. >> if donald trump is reelected and continues to behave with disregard for truth, human dignity and the law what recourse will the house have since the impeachment process would have already taken place? >> let's not even contemplate that. [laughing]. >> laura: they got a good laugh out of that but it's not political. impeachment is not political. let's not contemn plate people being that stupid to vote for him again. >> the best economy in 50 years keeps democrats up at night. the fact we have a president who decimated isis keeps them up at night. >> laura: they are playing not nice there. >> wouldn't it have been nice if

nancy pelosi came up to the podium and said today i will bring the united states you and mexico canada agreement to the floor of the house for a vote? or have the congress do its job? >> laura: with 130 bills. >> no, they are fixated on thing. you have seen the opinion polls show there is a major drop of support for it. it doesn't affect real people. the president wants to get on with the business. >> laura: he has a deadline tomorrow. 5 p.m. nadler said at the okay nadler coral. bring any evidence you have. tell us whether you will participate? >> well, we will let the white house counsel make that announcement tomorrow. >> laura: why not mulvaney?

>> this entire thing from the beginning has been a sham. our white house counsel office is working very hard. we tried to come up with ways to participate. but they don't create a process that fair. it's difficult to do so. >> laura: michael bloomberg the latest to enter the democrat race spoke out and said this. >> it's a very serious thing. i was before opposed to it. after looking at all of the evidence, sad, but yes. >> what troubles you about him? >> he doesn't understand he is an elected official whose job it is to work for the public rather than for himself. >> laura: a shock he 6%. >> the democrats say the president abused his office. what are they doing? they are abusing the power given to them by the constitution to impeach a prison and running it

on no basis and no evidence. >> laura: what did he benefit? joe biden was not even his opponent. they keep saying for personal benefit. what benefit? >> there were no conditions. >> laura: he knew these people were listening to the call. it makes no sense from the beginning. they needed to do something because they see this train coming down the track. it says trump reelected 2020 on the cover of the "new york times" after the election. come back soon. up next pelosi, well, goes postal at that impeachment news conference. and joe biden blows a gasket when confronted by a voter. newt gingrich on that and more in a moment.

the speaker today losing some say went postal. you know what that really means. she responded to a reporter who dared to question her true feelings about president trump. >> do you hate the president? >> i don't hate anybody. i was raised in a catholic house and you don't hate anybody. as a catholic i resent you using the word hate. i don't hate anyone. i was raiseed in a way that is a heart full of love and always pray for the president. i still pray for the president. don't mess with me when it comes to words like that!

>> laura: don't mess with texas and don't mess with nancy. as a catholic i am sick of you saying as a catholic, nancy. joining me is newt gingrich. former speaker of the house and fox news contributor. this was not the first time that nancy pelosi has leaned too hard into her religion as a way to mask her political agenda. watch. >> i have 5 children. i am catholic. thank to the nuns to trump the bishop. i can say that as a catholic. i am a devout practicing catholic. a mother of five children. when my baby was born, my fifth child, my oldest child was 6 years old. i think i know about this subject than you. >> laura: and the catholic bishops on the pro-life issue. when we saw this we were laughing.

she uses her being catholic as a shield. what do you think? >> well, sometimes to paraphrase a literary figure hiding behind your religion is the last refuge of scoundrels. it would be great if she was a great devout catholic, then she might have protected the nuns when the obama administration filed a lawsuit against them. she might even go so far out to ask fellow democrats to not attack trump nominees because they are catholic which has been happening in the senate with the bigotry that is amazing. it would be a lot of nice things nancy pelosi could do.

i thought there was also -- let's give her a break. maybe she doesn't hate trump. maybe she despises trump and maybe she can't stand trump. >> laura: [laughing]. >> i will accept a secondary word. i hope she does pray for him. that's a good thing. we are all taught to pray for our leaders. i think that the idea that she somehow has this positive human relationship to donald is absurd. i suspect she prays he will leave the white house. it struck me that it hit a nerve. there is something inside her to have both that happen today and the joe biden meltdown happen today. i think there is a lot of tension in the democratic party. >> laura: i think we will play the biden no malarky tour

moment. it got off to a rough start in iowa. during a stop today, the former vp blew up when a voter brought up hunter biden's sweetheart ukrainian deal. watch. >> [muffled audio]. >> laura: biden's brawl only escalated from there.

>> laura: oh, it looks like biden is taking this no malarchy slogan to the extreme. i don't know. >> the last couple of days we learned that he likes having little girls stroke the wet hair on his legs. we learned he likes to put his wife's fingers in his mouth. i don't know what extent pelosi surround such enormous pressure it doesn't take much to set her off. it's equally clear with biden and when the questions are about hunter are more obvious, the pressure is getting to him. i am waiting to see whose spoke he steals in an effort to have a comeback. he stole nick's speech the first time he ran for president. maybe this will be a moment to steal nixon's comeback speech in

1968. biden surround enormous pressure. there is a good chance he won't make it. >> laura: team obama is leaking out specific details about his conversation with joe. it wasn't just you don't have to do it. it was like god, you don't have to do this. please don't do this. pelosi took a walk down memory lane tonight on cnn about the impeachment you were around for, for bill clinton. listen to how she described bill clinton's perjury. >> bill clinton for personal indiscretion and misrepresenting approximate it. -- about it. people say this doesn't rise to impeachment. impeaching bill clinton for being stupid in terms of something like that.

>> laura: there is an actual crime there. >> democrats have a compulsion to lie because the truth kills them. there were 11 counts of guilty in the report including perjury which is a felony. clinton lost his license to practice law in arkansas and had to pay over $800,000 to the woman he slandered. for her to suggest this was petty personal stuff. read the report of the independent counsel. not a single word guilty in the mueller report. no report on trump that says guilty. there were 11 count of guilty on bill clinton. >> laura: a misrepresentation. you are being your usual self about this. it was not a good day for pelosi. great toy sue. up next, we will expose 2 specific issues where

them here. >> laura: okay. congressman matt gates. if she is has information that a russian invasion is imminent, don't you think she should share that information with it. >> the democrats attack on the president is either hearsay, conjecture or a substance and policy disagreement. they are using the axiom that says fight them over here than over here. you see it being convertd ed into a basis for impeachment. if we continue this reflective impeachment will be the new normal and terrible for our country. >> laura: there was a moment today from your old friend jim

clapper. let's watch this. >> the russians what they did in 2016, they will be at it again in 2020. why not? because of how successful they were in 2016. >> laura: this is a new red scare. people who didn't care about the ussr with reagan. now they are a smaller power, much smaller about the size of france and the russians are coming. >> it's ridiculous. of course russia has an economy based on oil. no one has done more to limit russia's ability to engage in mischief than president trump. russia has less of an ability to sell their oil at the price they want. i don't think russia is our friend but they are not our

greatest foe. that belongs to china. the fact that democrats are choosing to focus on this shows their insincerity. when barack obama was president they were bear hugging the president who believed after the next election we would have flexibility to bend to russia's william. -- will. now they are going to steal the 2020 election. the grinch stole christmas and the house democrats are trying to steal the presidency despite the fact he didn't do anything wrong. >> laura: the russia scare made its way into tonight's cnn's town hall thanks to pelosi. watch. >> in ukraine, they are all about russia. withholding or granting military assistant to ukraine was to the benefit of russia to hold up that aid. >> laura: how many days was the

aid held up for? that empower putin, 10 or 12 days? >> i had longer lines at starbucks. where were all of these ukraine first house democrats when the obama administration refused to smei -- supply the lethal military aid that president trump supplied. it was the obama administration that let those focus hanging. it's the trump administration that is providing the aid that is needed. >> laura: great to have you on. thank you very much. there has been another stark reversal to the left. the new found love for the surveillance state. since the release of the impeachment report, we learned that chairman adam schiff used his position to dig up and publicize dirt on political rivals and journalists.

the "wall street journal" board noted this is unprecedented and looks like an abuse of government surveillance authority for partisan gain. this is a former cia analyst and former deputy assistant to president trump. you have seen this before? >> i have bad news. i understand "bad news bears" knows all about your late night crank calls to sean hannitalls . adam schiff used these to get information get information on. there is information they had data on "hannity" and could have information on you. >> laura: well, my sources told me that schiff did and his

committee. they went to one of the cellphone companies. >> yes, at&t. >> laura: they had numbers. they asked them, tell us what these numbers have been engaged in and what calls they made. that's how they found the information. they took that information. that went to the nsa. the nsa deep state gave them the information it was rudy giuliani and others. these are from reliable sources. >> my understanding is schiff did know who the numbers were of. why did at&t give them this? >> laura: no subpoena. >> when the nsa asks at&t says no. a powerful democratic congressman asks for this information and at&t has a lot

to answer to. >> laura: they answered the call for information? >> and they knew one of those numbers was nunes's phone and they were providing this information to congress. they should have gone to the justice department or the fbi or a court before they provided that information. >> laura: the nsa, it goes back to a i don't like this surveillance. >> at&t should be investigated. >> laura: the "wall street journal" is reporting late tonight that the freak out about rudy giuliani talking to an omb-number might be wrong. that number and other references in the report all correspond to a place holder number that shows up when officials in several white house departments make calls according to people familiar with the matter. if schiff got that wrong, has he

got other numbers wrong? >> i think he the whole idea he is looking into who the president's attorney was speaking to raises huge issues on attorney-client privilege. what was the right that schiff had to do this? an attorney would have to have special permission. schiff thinks he operates under other rules. >> laura: when they say trump act like a king. and is accountable to no one, they are guilty of themselves. the finger is always pointed back at you. >> this is abuse of authority. >> laura: abuse of power. >> they think the rules don't apply to them. >> laura: we will be on this story. the nsa's involvement and at&t's involvement, we will look into this. thank you very much. the left is cannibalizing itself over the 2020 race. what are we talking about?

>> that's right the left is eating its own. i enjoy it because i called this in 2016. i said there would be a black exit. more and more black people are waking up to the politics of the left and realizing they don't have our best interest at heart. they use us every 4 years and say black people be afraid because they need our vote. really we have so much authority right now. so much control right now. people are saying look at what trump has done in the last 3.5 years. it's better for black america. the democrat party is losing it. >> laura: there was a moment on msnbc where sharpton debated that the next stage for the democrats there won't be a person of color on the debate change. -- stage. the other panelist said we have to find out why they are not
