never be the rage trump media mob. we hope you set your dvr is so you never miss an episode and we will be back on monday. let not your heart be troubled, "the ingraham angle" is next. we hope you have a great weekend. >> laura: i'm laura ingraham, this is "the ingraham angle" from washington tonight and as expected, the pathetic judiciary committee on a straight party line vote moved impeachment articles, two measly one come against president trump to the full house floor. congressman lee zeldin and matt gaetz both stunningly effective in michigan. we will sound off right here in a moment. plus, the horowitz report exposed to the fbi's gross abuse of power in spying on the trump campaign. so why is the media still lying about what happened customer jeffrey lord and tammy bruce, oh, boy. they have this week's edition of the worst in media. a lot of competition there. also tonight, my angle lays out the repeated failures of the so-called experts, both here and

abroad here to specially predicting the trump presidency. what do we predict? all of it coming up. ari fleischer and doug sloan will also join us. and it's friday, you know what that means. it's time for friday follies with raymond arroyo. he's going to take us through the hilarious behind-the-scenes moments that you didn't see you during these impeachment hearings. we have the camera angles the rest of the media didn't show you. we will show you. but first, the house judiciary committee, as i said this morning, approved two articles of impeachment. they now go to the full house for a final vote. it's only the fourth time in american history this has happened. but what's really historic is the democrats' hatchet that got us here. member how they said impeachment should be always, always bipartisan? >> it will have to be something that has such a crescendo in a bipartisan way. >> if the evidence isn't sufficient to win bipartisan support for this, putting the country through a failed impeachment is not a good idea. >> you have to be able to think

at the beginning of the impeachment process, the evidence is so clear of offenses so grave, the opposition voters will reluctantly admit to themselves, they had to do it. otherwise you have a partisan impeachment, which will tear the country apart. >> laura: where did those people go? particularly along party lines, for the first time in history. the other first, democrats were constantly tripping about extortion, obstruction, bribery. in all measures of any crime they could think of. >> the mountain of evidence shows that there was a bribe by the president. >> evidence of bribery, powerful, untouched uncontradicted so far. >> to withhold military assistance in return for a public statement. >> right of the heart of the issue of bribery, as well as other potential high crimes or misdemeanors. >> laura: well, that just went all down the drain.

there articles alleged 0 grams that too is unprecedented. >> you are trivializing impeachment. someday there will be a democratic president and a republican house and i suspect they are going to remember it. >> laura: joining me now is lee zeldin, house foreign affairs committee member and matt gaetz, who is on the house judiciary committee. he had to endure this marathon over the last few days. congressman zeldin, let's start with you. impeachment clearly heads to a final vote, do you get any sense at all from your democrat colleagues that they do realize how damaging this process has been to our political system >> i'm sure there are many of them, some of them who will be voting no. there will be a bipartisan vote on impeachment beer there will be others who will become aware of it november of 2020 if they don't get the point now, because

you have 31 has democrats and districts that donald trump won. when those trump voters sent those democrats to washington, they were being sent to work with the president in order to get really important substantive areas across the finish line. not to actually impeach the president that they voted for. some realize it now and others are going to be realizing it next november, and for people who have dabbles in their hands, even if they are on the far left of the party, when they are no longer in the majority after next november's election, than their entire conference will see it the hard way because they are going to be back in the minority. >> laura: we heard last night that may be, double digit defections. but steve scalise says, may be three, three against impeachment week. but this is what a congressman gaetz, you were there so you saw it but a lot of our viewers missed it, when jerry nadler reset because not enough people were watching.

speak of the committee -- chairman. mr. chairman. there was no consulting for the minority ranking member for tomorrow customer this is the kangaroo court we were talking about. this is outrageous. not even consult? >> let's have a dictator, he's going to hear about that. unbelievable. >> laura: tell us about that moment, congressman gaetz. that's the grounds for recessing because they wanted more people watching. >> laura, democrats would have you believe this impeachment springs from the organic output of some bad presidential conduct but what you just showed proves that this is really all a substitution for the lack of an agenda for democrats. this is an impeachment with no crime. it's an impeachment without any direct evidence and it's an impeachment largely motivated by the democrats' view of their presidential field because even as michael bloomberg said, donald trump would eat alive any of the democrats running and he is getting stronger by the day.

now as we move to the floor of the house, the question is which direction is the momentum really going? will the democrats lose momentum? we certainly don't think they'll gain it because every republican is going to vote against this impeachment and there will be democrats voting with the republicans, so they failed to meet their own standard. you know what, the media needs to push back hard on this. where nancy pelosi and adam schiff and jerry nadler getting off the hook when they said this had to be bipartisan, they had to be compelling evidence. none of those things. >> laura: they are blaming the republicans for that. you should make it bipartisan by voting for it. that is the big argument. the white house and senate republicans are still trying to get on the same page about a defense strategy when this moves to the senate. here's how the president reacted today. >> i can do, i will do whatever i want. look, we did nothing wrong. so long or short. i've heard rich, lindsay, i think they are very much on agreement on concept. i will do whatever they want to

do, it doesn't matter. i wouldn't mind a long process because i would like to see the whistle-blower, who is a fraud. >> laura: the white house is obviously still trying to figure out a game plan here, but given how thin the evidence was and how pathetic the democrats were here, isn't it better to actually really seal the deal here in a senate trial and get a full acquittal an instead of jut moving for a motion dismissed? >> i agree with that and we've heard from certain fact-based witnesses so far like kurt volker and tim morrison, i would want to hear them testify, but beyond that i would like to hear from the whistle-blower. i believe hunter biden is a fact witness. the investigations that president trump was concerned about, they were interfering in the 2016 election. whether it is the op-ed, or working with the ukrainian embassy to dig up dirt on the

trump campaign, to take down a trump campaign official or the other investigation with hunter biden. these are legitimate investigations. i want the other 97% of the story to get out and i believe that when you get the rest of the story out, he won't be just found not guilty but actually acquitted and that is the story that will be written for decades and generations to come. >> laura: i agree. congressman gates, we are almost out of time but you're at the white house tonight. what are you recommending data? >> i have a different view. i think even if he took every single fact that the democrats allege is true, this does not rise to an impeachable offense so i would have a two step process. one, quit the president. step two, engage in real oversight with senator graham and the foreign affairs committee. let's call for those very witnesses that lee zeldin just mentioned. but we should not be doing it in the context of impeachment because even the notion of impeachment is a total joke and we proved that in the house

judiciary committee. >> laura: we can't wait to see how it all unfolds. you've been instrumental in making this clear to the american public. thank you for joining us this friday night. >> laura: it's easy to become numb to media biden, so "hannity" is keeping track of the worst offenders of the week. former cnn contributor, author of "small pores," " anna fox news contributor. all right, let's start with you, how cnn was gas letting viewers this week on the whole general report. they knew just how damaging this was to the narrative that they panel for more than two years. >> there is no proof of spying. zero. >> laura: michael horowitz said under oath that he found no political bias. >> it turns out the fbi did not spy on the 2016 trump campaign.

>> there was no bias under evidence. >> no political bias. in short, no spying. >> no witch hunt, no traders. just human beings doing their best. >> laura: is that really what it is? doing their best? >> oh, my, oh, my. what can i say? i think i am right. cnn refused to carry senator lindsey graham's opening statement. why bother listening to him, right? i mean, this is bad. let me emphasize the first word, journalist. he is a serious journalist. he pointed out that the ig report identified 51 violations and nine false statements in the fbi's pfizer request. for allegedly making one false statement. x trump aide to general mike flynn and george papadopoulos were convicted and george has already gone to jail and served his time with us. the cnn agenda was set before this came out.

they wanted to cherry pick it, they did, and let's remember this is the network that has now hired andrew mccabe, who was fired for lying as a contributor. >> laura: it's pretty lucrative. all right, tammy, let's go to you now. here's another talking point that the media endlessly regurgitated this week. >> that is a lie that the attorney general told today to help donald trump. >> he is the president's lawyer. >> he continues to lie on donald trump's behalf at every opportunity. >> what should not surprise us as william barr continues to lie. any other attorney general would be forced to resign. >> laura: tammy, is that what they tried to do post mueller? this is it now? the media are blaming bill barr for this? second time attorney general? >> it's interesting. the democrats know what durum and barr are finding. we don't yet. the media, the friends of the democrats know what they are going to find, so now what

they've got to do is try to discredit william barr, because they know what the report is going to say. what this tells you, there's been some discussion by some others that donald trump is responsible for the decline in how americans view the media. but this is why we haven't liked them for years. when you think about an enemy of the people, or why someone would even interpret that the media, certain legacy media or cnn as an example, don't have the best interest of the country in mind, when they are using that format, to move message in an effort to cover for themselves. there's enough information out there. certainly our network and the internet where the american people know exactly what has happened and they see that for what it is. >> laura: that is a great segue. the media has a new scapegoat for their failure to sell impeachment to the public. >> today, half the country is

watching a completely different version of these events of news. how much does that impact the way all this has been absorbed? that wasn't the case in the last impeachment. >> i think you need a medium. fight your case. republicans, right-wingers found one. it's called fox. >> laura: early this week at cnn contributor wrote a piece calling fox a threat to national security. jeffrey, these people don't really like free speech. period. >> no, they don't. laura, this is classic. at nine years ago, long before donald trump was on the political scene, a professor wrote a book on the ruling class and talked about their sense of intellectual superiority to the rest of us. this is what this is. the ruling class of the media is deeply upset that they have lost their monopoly to fox, to talk radio, to conservative websites. they cannot stand it. that is the real threat and that

is why they're upset. >> laura: just as upset across the pond after this election last night in the u.k. jeffrey and tammy, thank you so much. in moments, my "angle" exposes just how th wise the wise men ad women are in the elite. hand, not a very wise. this is going to be good.

musical >> laura: big surprise that jerry nadler and his evil band of elves voted to move article impeachment agae president of the floor today at the house. i think much more relevant to your life is what we bring you tonight. impeaching the experts, the christmas addition. that's the focus of tonight friday angle.

all right, ever since the day you elected president trump three years ago, the pundits and the scholars, the hollywood elites have been confidently predicting he would destroy the country and track the rest of the world down with him. but as we see time and again, the president keeps proving the supposed experts wrong. like these economic geniuses. >> if we're going to have a recession it's going to be a smorgasbord recession. >> a global recession. that's right, the r word. >> he could be seeking reelection during a recession. >> the market has nowhere to go but down. recession is written all over the forehead of this economy. >> laura: stupidity is written all over the four heads of these people. so much for the dire economic forecast. >> 266,000 jobs in november. >> blows away expectations. >> you can't contradict that these are the best numbers of our lives.

>> great job's number has let this market go from shrugs to hugs. >> this is a good number for reelection. >> laura: the same dullards predicting recession also predicted president trump would failed to deliver on major trade promises. >> the only meaningful things coming out of washington where potential trade resolutions, the u.s. mta, may be infrastructure, may be health care. three of those four things were never going to happen. >> they may be thought that was a sign that trump was getting closer or mentally closer to a deal with china. they're coming to terms with the reality that that may not have been. >> the expectation would become a china trade deal between the u.s. and china was going to happen. obviously the sands have shifted. >> laura: but a trump once again defy the expectations of the liberal intelligentsia and e them dead wrong. >> has democrats unveiled articles of impeachment against president trump and gave them their biggest legislative win of the year.

a deal on the u.s.-mexico canada trade agreement. >> one of the presidents signature priority, a deal with the u.s., mexico, and candid appearance because that is the biggest legislative achievement the president will have had since democrats took over the house of representatives a year ago. >> laura: look at how sad they are supporting the success of the president. bummed about it. member how the tears were supposed to think the economy of china? they ended up being the only thing forcing china to make a secession. they know they may have that partial deal that will talk about next week, which is why the administration left some tariffs in place, and they are saying clearly those tariffs will fully be reinstated in china does go back on his word. and you'd have thought that mueller's failure to uncover any wrongdoing by the president would have humbled the doubt.

but they all eagerly fell for adam schiff ukrainian whistle-blower plot. >> that is what nancy pelosi does so beautifully, and we do have a tight case on ukraine. >> trump is going to get himself impeached in the house for doing this with ukraine. >> in the history of the trump presidency is told, will ukraine be the number one thing to those critics? >> laura: but the weeks of investigations, hearings that followed were just embarrassing for the left. they produced zero evidence of an impeachable offense. no crime. and only turned public opinion gradually against removing president trump from office, including those key battleground states. while the house judiciary committee did say earlier, two week articles of impeachment, it's hardly the victory the democrats wanted democrats wanted. >> president trump is winning the messaging more about impeachment. democrats are losing. >> we are talking about the polling.

the polls do not look good for the democrats. >> donald trump in a way has already won. >> again, it pains them to say that. but it's not just the elites who are consistently missing the mark. all the globalist e.u. friendly prognosticators who pooh-poohed this idea that anyone in his right mind would vote to leave the e.u. back in 2016, remember the big brexit vote? they've been trying to turn the public against brexit for three years. they were added again this year. speak of the move today was a devastating blow. the brexit deal is not popular. >> brexit is not popular. you've got a move of nationalism. >> breaks it would never happen. >> laura: oh, the consensus. brexit was dead, but it will in fact happen. it is a virtual certainty now after last night's political earthquake in the u.k.

>> a major victory for british prime minister boris johnson in his quest to get britain out of the european union as soon as possible. >> the central message boris johnson went into this campaign with was get brexit done and he had a written sounding success on this front. >> your voice has been heard. we will get brexit done on time by the 31st of january. >> laura: did you hear what he said? your vote matters. the people actually get to decide the future, not a few highly educated elites. harbinger for the upset this year. you and i saw it. we saw the so-called experts running countries into the ground. people in the u.s. and europe are still fed up after years of globalist obstruction.

the movement of sweeping europe is not dying and trump has a huge part of this, shows that the people are not going to be silenced and they will not stand by idly as the elites attempt to disparage them or sidelined them or silenced them. in the midst of this fraudulent impeachment struggle, a trump 2020 victory is closer than ever before, no matter what the experts say. and that is "the angle." joining me now is ari fleischer, former white house press secretary and fox news contributor, along with doug schoen, former advisor to president clinton and a poster now for bloomberg 2020. let's start with you, do you see another resounding victory for brexit as a harbinger for trump in 2020? >> you better believe it. i still think it is a close election. it could be a 50/50 election in 2020 for president trump but there is no question what is going on in england definitely echoes what is going on in america and what is going on in

america has echoed in england. that is why i thought your segment was so good. i particularly like to pay attention to the press, and the press is the biggest organization in america i think that doesn't understand america. and it is their job to understand america, but even up to last night we were hearing the election for boris johnson might be close, yet they missed this one too. it just keeps happening, doesn't it? >> laura: down to the wire, tight election. we heard the same thing in 2016. i remember our network that night and i was there, it's over for trump. basically. i was like, i don't think so. here's how joe biden reacted to last nights brexit blowout. he said boris johnson is winning in a walk. look at what happens when the labour party moves so far to the left. it comes up with the ideas that are not able to be contained with in a rational basis. quickly, you're going to see people saying, my god come as boris johnson is a physical and

emotional clone of the president. he's able to win. does the bloomberg can feel the same? >> i can't speak for the bloomberg camp, not that i can say. as a centrist democrat, i agree with part of what former vice president biden said. james corbin was so far left that he was outside the mainstream of british opinion, and if we nominate someone like sanders or elizabeth warren, they will also be outside the mainstream of american opinion. i think the democrats can make it a close election if we nominate someone who runs closer to the center and i think that really giving people a rational choice like that, rather than going outside the mainstream, is the message i take from last nights blowout in britain. >> laura: take a listen to what the president said today about who's really funding the european union.

>> why aren't other european countries paying? because we are paying. we are suckers. why is it always the united states question wreck we are 7,000 miles away. why is it always the suckers that pay customer so we've changed that but nobody brings that up. >> laura: i love the fact we finally have a president who talks about how much all of this costs. money doesn't grow on trees, as my mother would say. it's the taxpayers or we have to borrow it from other countries. does this resonate still with the voters? >> absolutely it resonates with the voters. it's called good stewardship. i used to sit in on the meetings with the nato leaders, specifically, and others where president bush would follow the american foreign policy tradition of politely imploring them to spend more on nato. sometimes president bush wasn't so polite. they never did a thing when george bush asked them to pay more and when barack obama politely asked of them to pay

more. what happened as trump comes along, breaks all the china in the china shop and you know what, all of us in the nato allies are paying more for defense. just because people used to do it one way doesn't mean we should lock into always do it that way if the world doesn't respond. so yeah, president trump's tough guy approach is actually getting other nations to do what they've always been supposed to do. >> laura: they are kind of grumbling, they are talking and gossiping at cocktail parties but, the trick of free writing on the united states, that's over. of those days are gone. they're never coming back. i don't even think they are coming back in a democratic administration but you have failed messaging on impeachment. the public is not moving in their direction. the brexit vote. obviously it's a certainty now it is going to happen. the e.u., i think it is going to be a domino effect throughout

the e.u. after this. are the democrats sufficiently freaked out now, or is it going to be business as usual? >> my sense is impeachment as you suggested will not be a net positive. probably a negative for party in swing states with swing voters. democrats win on issues. we do better when we talk about health care, climate change, job creation and stay away from these type of issues where people don't quite know what's going on or why it's being done. notwithstanding the democratic left. i would say to my democratic colleagues, if we bring the message to donald trump on what needs to be done and how our approach differs from his, we will have a much better chance of winning the election. >> laura: good luck with that. i love you like a brother but any of his policies are going to bring china to the table. otherwise, if obama had done it,

would've gotten this economy humming, would've brought wages up. i haven't heard one proposal that is going to do any of that. anyway, i'm filibustering. >> stay tuned, laura. >> laura: coming up, the moment from the impeachment mark up this week. the moment you didn't see. trump's new impression of a potential 2020 rival and raymond arroyo joins us for friday follies. - do you have a box of video tapes, film reels, or photos, that are degrading? legacybox professionally converts them to dvds, thumb drive, or the cloud. legacybox is simple and safe, with over half a million satisfied customers.

accurate. speak at the president was referring to the judiciary hearings that were broadcast. there were other moments over the last couple of days that were not shown. much of this was grandstanding about what those nonwitnesses told us weeks ago. even the members of the committee were bored to tears as this historic impeachment hearing began. this is congressman of california. he was so enthralled with jerry nadler's opening address that he became a citizen journalist. do you see him there? they had a moment when he went around the room like this. he's taking pictures of everybody. of the media and the people gathered. amazing. even jerry nadler was disinterested. why the republicans were speaking, nadler poured himself a little coke and heaven knows what else there. i don't know, he's mixing the drinks. then he nodded off. clearly there wasn't enough caffeine. he was caught in the middle of the hearing snoozing. poor man. his mouth was hanging open at one point. we are going to check with

jim jordan if he was snoring. but apparently he is a repeat offender because he was pretty close to dozing off during the impeachment hearing on decembe december 4th as well. the wide shot of the hearing was very revealing. at one point, we call it several committee members playing on their cell phones. i guess playing candy crush. >> laura: shopping. oh, best buy has a cheaper? they are their phones. because then there was this moment. from congressman hakeem jeffries. >> george washington and his farewell address to the nation. counsel america that the constitution is sacredly obligatory upon all. scripture says in the book of psalms, for the lord loved justice and will not abandon his faithful ones. we undertake this responsibility prayerfully. >> prayerfully.

>> laura: he actually made a comment about elijah cummings is no longer with us, he's in heaven with the prophet mohammed. he brought in all faiths. >> we also caught congressman richman, he was getting some screen time in. he was apparently so bored during this debate, this song, prayerful occasion. he is watching a golf game. it is the golf tournament. he was watching a during the 14 hour mark up. this is so solemn, so prayerful. how can you take minutes away watching a golf game? look, they even know this is not a serious undertaking. >> laura: let me say this. okay, if the pope was being selected in rome and you're waiting for the white smoke to come up and raymond is on that and the saints are playing at the same time, let me tell you who would have the saints game

on streaming in rome in vatican city! >> laura: yes you would! you would always have the saints on. maybe he has a real thing for one of these. >> donald trump could be a comedian in his next act. in the great state of pennsylvania this week, he tried some stand up at the expense of elizabeth warren. >> anybody see her beer deal? did you see that customer darling, but her husband, darling, it's great to see you. what he doing here? like, that is her husband, he is supposed to be living in the house. can i get a beer? do you want a beer? >> do you want a beer? >> laura: that is one of the worst -- >> the back and forth. don't like the call and response? >> laura: this is something that happened early.

>> trump remembers it because it is a visual for the public. this is why he cuts through. >> laura: of all the things you pointed out. behind the scenes, reading the phones, pouring mixed drinks. nonalcoholic. but i think all of that is going to appear, i bet come into trump campaign commercial. before we go, you've got a christmas special appearing on fox nation. tell me about it. >> always new orleans, this is a beautiful special, culinary and musical special that celebrates the ritual and traditions of the people of new orleans. here's just a tiny taste on fox nation. >> we do christmas in new orleans like no place on earth. you can taste the season here, feel its rhythm and experience its joy. the music of the food, the sites, the sounds of new orleans are never better than at christmas time. ♪ ♪

>> for decades, children have been trapped in failing government schools in my administration, these children are forgotten or longer. we have certain groups that are very powerfully against that it we are breaking through very strongly. we believe that every parent should have educational freedom for their children. >> laura: that was the president making a case for school choice. an issue we conservatives have been talking about literally for decades. it's an event that took place at the white house that received basically no media coverage. it's just one part of trump's plan to improve the lives of for african-americans and all those in underprivileged areas and

politico reported today that trump's 2020 campaign has spent a million dollars thus far on african-american outreach. record low on unemployment, is support for historically black colleges and universities. but how much getting the boat's realistic wisdom are here to is candace own, and author of the forthcoming book "blackout," you guys really mixed it up last friday as i recall. we will get through these topics and allow each other to actually speak, okay? [laughter] with passion of course. are you going to tell us all of this is meaningless, the successes don't really resonate or are you going to start being realistic yourself about how positive these legislative initiatives are for the african-american community? >> i want to tell you right now.

i started laughing when i heard a million dollars. a million dollars in a political campaign is tip money. bloomberg spent $30 million. a million-dollar investment? that is an insult as far as voter outreach. >> laura: that is just on outreach. take a breath, let it out. only on outreach and only thus far. if you think the trump campaign is only going to spend a million dollars of the whole year you don't know these people very well. they are going for broke on th this. >> in my opinion, that is called tip money. let's get to the issues he's talking about. democrats are in favor of choice but we are not in favor of illuminating public school. i'm a recipient of public school and it works. more importantly, as i said to you before, the fact that he's talking about lowering unemployment. why is black unemployment higher than white? i'm begging candace to answer that question. >> laura: during obama the first african-american president. do you know the differential back then?

>> that is a good switch. he touts that. and finally the issue of low unemployment, which is our wealth, black wealth is one-tenth of white. i hope candace answers that question because those are facts. >> laura: your answer is that things really haven't gotten any better? >> i'm saying to you that blacks would rather have a quality than a few extra coins in their pocket. they want a quality. we want to be treated the same way as white america. that is all we want. >> laura: that is the point of the pro-school choice movement is all about. kids who don't have the money, candace, from families with rich backgrounds, the obama kids went to an elite private school in d.c. as do many of the well-known people in d.c., send their kids to private school. not because they don't like public schools, because public school tends to sometimes knock at the same quality education. that to me is a great initiative for this president, but should've been a great initiative for president obama as well. >> first i want to destroy the

bad information that leo just put out, that it means we are not going to have public schools anymore. it is a big mess surrounding the school choice initiative and it's completely wrong. you do have a choice. you have a choice like moms will have a choice to send their sons and daughters to better schools, not based on their district. that is completely wrong on every single level and i want to say that first and foremost. leo says it is a better opportunity for black americans and democrats hate to admit that this president has done more to help black america. to answer your questions, why do we have a higher unemployment rate, because black americans compete first and foremost with illegal immigrants that come across the border. it's a fact and it was done under barack obama's presidency in 2008 to determine that illegal immigration hurts black american jobs of first and foremost. between the ages of 18 and 21. >> wrong. >> you want to talk about why white americans are doing better? he failed to admit that when black americans make the same decisions, meeting married, you look at the levels of poverty

among married citizens, it is virtually the same amongst black-and-white as it is for black-and-white americans. these are all facts. you always use emotional arguments to come up with these schemes -- >> these are facts. i use facts. did you hear what candace just said? >> leo, i didn't cut you off. stop cutting me off. leo, i didn't cut you off. stop cutting me off. >> laura: you both had the same time to speak. >> let me say this. she just said on national tv black americans compete for jobs against illegals? i'm a lawyer! i am a black lawyer. >> laura: entry-level jobs. >> come entry-level jobs? i'm a lawyer. i am teacher. i have a license. >> i said between 18 and 21. if you listen you would've heard what i said. >> laura: i think most people understand what candace was

getting at. she wasn't saying people who are surgeons or lawyers or television commentators. they are competing at those jobs, but the jobs where you get your foot in the door. we all had those jobs and those jobs are more likely to be taken with people with lower skills. maybe english isn't their first language et cetera. let's talk about what the president said a month ago. this is interesting, and i'm curious to hear what you thought about this. the president was directing his comments to african-american voters and their tendency to vote democrat. watch. >> for decades, the democrats have taken african-american voters totally for granted. they have, they didn't do anything for you. we've done more for african-americans in three years then the broken washington establishment has done in more than 30 years. i want to invest in black american communities. >> laura: well, approval rating now, 34.5% in november, october it was 17.5% among

african-americans. that is essentially double according to emerson polling. not a conservative group. it's a pretty well respected polling organization. leo. >> let me just simply make one of these outlandish predictions. joe biden if he is the nominee will have five times as many african-americans supporting him then trump. let me be very clear, when trump sits there on national tv and says that he has done more for blacks in three years than any democrat, laura, you know that's not true. that is just hyperbole. >> laura: i think it is true. in a three year period it is true. maybe not on the whole course of human history, but in the last three years, of any president, i have absolutely no hesitation saying he has done more for black america than any other president. absolutely. >> i will simply say this -- >> leo, i'm glad he started by calling himself outlandish. everything you say is simply outlandish. you said outlandish, i'm quoting your. >> personal attack.

>> he's refusing to answer things you are saying. i think for black america and 60 years, and they are going to win in 2020. >> 60 years? [laughter] voting, civil rights act. candace, leo, you kind of violated the rules but i guess i did too. my final thoughts on this wild week in news when we come back. stay right there.

>> laura: if you thought this week was a roller coaster wait until the bogus articles of impeachment of brought to the house floor next week. the "ingraham angle" will be the best spot for the political analysis out there. we will tell you the way it is. send me questions and comments. even the nasty ones. it has to be all cogent.
