their move was a quote, declaration of war on the family. >> sean: all right, trace, thank you. hannity.com, what you need to know, voting early, absentee. let not your heart be troubled. laura, hi. i nearly went over like tucker. i can't believe it. tucker is either early or late, late or early. never on time. >> but i like you, by the way. so i'm happy to spend time with you. i'm happy to chitchat. >> you're being so nice. listen, i got a chance -- i hope you don't mind me saying this. i met your kids, they're amazing. they're such good kids. you should be so proud. i enjoyed talking to them. >> my daughter was star struck. she's like, mom what's hannity doing later? is she going to come home and play with the kids? i said, no, that's it. >> sean: so smart. good kids. god bless our kids. seriously. >> laura: thank you, hannity.

a great show. i'm laura ingraham with a huge "ingraham angle" tonight from washington. an iranian missile takes down a ukrainian airliner and the ghouls on the left is blaming, you guessed it, president trump. mike pompeo has a fiery response to john kerry. what does a man who killed bin laden about the media lionizing soliemani. my angle comes on a little later on tonight. it's a good one. going to connect the dots, all of these player, prince harry, meghan, all of the latest exploits of those with the clintons and the bidens. and a friend of the show, dr. drew pins kee is so fed up with adam schiff that he's considering seriously now a congressional run against schiff in california. he's here exclusively to tell us

what he's going to do next. but first, to the breaking news tonight, top iranian military officials are saying that the recent ballistic missile strikes on u.s. troops were just, quote, the start of big operations that will continue in the entire region. but with no sign of deescalation, the democrat-controlled house passed a war powers resolution in an attempt to limit the president's ability to defend the country against any further iranian aggression. the president addressed all of this at a rally just a short time ago. >> here's the guy who slaughtered and butchered civilians all over and military, whoever was in his way. and we have nancy pelosi, we have them all. they're all trying to say how dare you take him out that way. you should get permission from congress. so that we can call up the fake news and we can leak it.

>> my panel is going to discuss it how it's unfolding now. a house foreign affairs committee member and one of the first men to interrogate saddam hussein, and rob o'neill, the former navy s.e.a.l. who killed osama bin laden and author of the book "the operator" rshgs the threats from the new strikes on the iranian military leader another way to try to save face here? they say the ultimate goal is to drive the u.s. out of the region, period. >> that's the ultimate goal. we have to believe it. the threat to two pressures, huge pressures, one coming from the base of seoulimani. the hard core people. they want iran to strike again. there's a season group among them that understands that the president and the administration and the forces are serious. they've seen examples of what's

happening and they're advising to calm down, do whatever it needs to be done for the iranian public but calm down strategically and wait for nine months. >> top military official in iran today said that they believed this was going to last between three days and potentially two weeks. and that they had thousands of missiles ready to fly. he gave this long windy press conference. they've seem -- who knows? they seemed like they were a little surprised that it was that short. >> well, there are two audiences that the iranian leadership were talking to. they're talking to the internal audience and then talking to the external audience. this is a culture of power and strength. that's why president trump is line in the sand and enforcement of that is so good. the flip side is they have to show strength back home. and so they're talking to their people. clearly missing 16 out of 16 missiles, they southeasterneding

us a message that they want an exit ramp of this escalation. >> nancy pelosi seems to be kind of justifying iran firing missiles? kind of? at u.s. troops? >> the united states had a high level, maybe the second most important person in the country, assassinated wherever the united states might consider that an assault on our country, right? and the iranians might as well. >> i think that bird on her lapel is a dodo bird, rob. your response to the speaker. >> they're saying no one heard of soleimani before and we picked the guy out of nowhere. he's the number one terrorist in the world. i've known about him for years. designated top terrorist years and years ago probably under the bush administration. it's like they never heard of amra al laki, the few months

after we killed bin laden, the president ordered a strike on him and killed him an american citizen in yemen. we don't have a problem with that. we have a president now that kicks them in the teeth. they didn't expect it. they're going to launch 16 missiles and miss us? they're either incompetent or they need to show propaganda to their own people, which i think the latter is true. we have bases all over the middle east, in qatar, they're in -- all the way turnover syria, afghanistan. if they wanted to try to hit us really hard, they could have. they needed to do something to tell their people they did. the president extending an olive branch. he got rid of bar before starting a war. >> i think it's a brilliant example of the president's policy, a prudent realism in foreign policy. >> no doubt. >> they tried to do asymmetrical stuff with him. he's like i'm the master of

asymmetrical politics at home and foreign policy keeping them guessing and keeping them scared which i think is what we want. gentlemen, stand by. incredible panel and show tonight. so we're going to talk to you on the other side about what america's top diplomat thinks about what's going on with iran. my exclusive interview with the secretary of state, mike pompeo. >> mr. secretary, thanks for being with me tonight. we appreciate it. >> thank you for having us on the show. >> the iranians by accident as they say downed the commercial airliner the night, of course, they sent their cruise missiles into iraq against iraqi military bases. what can you tell us? >> there's an investigation under way. i hope that the iranians will cooperate with them completely. we can make sure that the whole world can know if their plane is travelling in and out of iran, they're safe, they're having to make decisions about the lives of people travelling in and out of teheran will know the risks

and the international community needs to shut down that airport, so be it. got to get to the bottom of it. it's important to get to the bottom of it quickly. i've seen the reporting. i can only say we need to get to the bottom of this very, very quickly. >> 60 canadians on that airliner. horrific. 176 people dead. here in washington, i can proceed down the road some on the left saying this is an accident caused by a provocation of an administration that acted irrationally against iran. you know what's coming. >> we have to see what the cause of this. it's possible that it's mechanical failure. we'll have to see if in this case there's something more insidious. american people should know this is iranian malfeasance that caused this. you identified the canadians. my condolences to everyone on the flight including the iranian citizens travelling on the plane as well. >> >> vice president pence appeared on a few shows today

including fox & friends pressed on the intel briefing done on capitol hill to key members of congress about the iranian situation. and everyone from mike lee to rand paul, they said it was insulting, nancy pelosi said her briefing over the weekend was dismissive and disdainful. what happened, mr. secretary, at this briefing that has people like rand paul and lee agreeing, essentially, with pelosi. >> i got lots of different feedback from the briefing. i was one of the briefers. i thought we did a dynamite job. i mean that in the truest sense, that we did our level best to present them with all of the facts we could on that closed setting more than we can say on your show. >> laura: vice president pence said to reveal more, the compelling intel, could compromise sources and methods, mr. speaker, that mean the intel briefers don't trust congress with classified information? that's what it sounds like.

>> we shared a lot with them yesterday. there are things that only certain members of congress get to hear. and i know that senators lee and paul care about this a great deal. they want to protect the prerogative of the legislative branch. they have the view of the war powers division. members of congress get frustrated. this was not political in the republican-democrat. this is executive-legislative. so i think there are a number of people using this as a political ax to grind, that's most unfortunate. there was no doubt there were a series of imminent attacks being plotted, we don't know when and where, but it was real. >> the president said soleimani wanted to blow up the embassy. >> it's his forces that penetrated the embassy a handful of days before that. orchestrated by qasem seoulimani. no doubt that they could only take options against our forces

in iraq and others around the region as well. >> john kerry, your predecessor, also sounding off on this operation saying that america essentially destabilize the situation that had calmed down after the signing of the iran deal that there was real verification in place. he also said this -- >> there's no way at all that the world is safer, that the united states is safer, that the region is safer, with the steps this president has taken. the president is so fixated on undoing anything barack obama did that he was willing to run the risk of outright war in the effort to fulfill his fantasy. >> laura: his fantasy. >> it's not about fantasy. it's a fantasy to think that the nuclear deal was good for the united states of america protecting the american people. there were terror campaigns, missile systems enhanced and improved. the money that the iranian regime was permitted to have

underwrote the very shiah militias wither the ones that took on and ultimately killed an american. we have a lot of work to do. this is not about undoing what obama did, this is about protecting and defending the american people and president trump has been resolute in that. >> laura: the president made this ultimate call, reports are that you and secretary defense esper travelled down to maralago, you went down to brief the president. you've been vp being the face. you were the man who pushed the president to make this -- convinced him to make this decision. do you accept that at all that comes along with that? >> i take responsibility for what the state department does and the recommendations we make to the president of the united states. this was ultimately his decision. >> here's some of your friends and their commentary. >> pompeo is the guy. he has the authority. he's an iran hawk.

>> there's a choice of reason. that's pretty much out the window. >> i don't know any americans aside from pompeo that want to go to war with iran. >> most importantly, we will always do what's right to make sure of what the americans were saying. a real opportunity here and a real necessity here. we made the right decision. the president made the right call. we're not through this yet. there are still many challenges in this case. i've got diplomats and officers in difficult places as we speak. we'll continue to do the things we need to do to make sure that we -- we don't have the people we need to be necessarily, but we'll keep americans straight. >> former obama officials were everywhere. their heads were exploding about the claim that the money transferred to iran, billions and billions of dollars in the obama term was used to fund some of these terrorist activities

including the missiles that flew at iraqi bases. they said that's just ridiculous. your response? >> one of the central tactics of our strategy is deny the iranian regime the money to do these kinds of things. we've been at it for 18 months now. still work to do. make no mistake about it. the wealth created inside the islamic republic of iran went to irgc and the senior iranian terrorist and that money ultimately ended up in the hands of people who wanted to do americans harm. it can move around. they had the resources. they had the ability to build out their missile program, all of the things that they are now confronting are a direct result of the resources that the regime had available as a result of that. >> john kerry admitted in 2016 that it could be an eventuality with the money being used. he already spilled the beans on that a couple years. >> he knew the risk, it's come to fruition. >> president trump was successful running for president

on an america first campaign. does what happened over the last week or so change that? does he now take a step back and maybe closer to the old bush days of staying in the middle east, stay engaged or do we have a pivot to asia any time soon. >> i'm confident what president trump campaigned on is what he's delivering to the american people. it's a promise kept. he said we would protect america. we would do so -- we did end up in endless wars, we would do so that would require troops for an endless period of time. we will do everything we can make sure if it's daish, al qaeda, isis, we'll continue to protect and defend. we're working in afghanistan and throughout the middle east to make sure we not only have fewer americans there and perform what president trump will never let happen and create risk. i don't think he's moved at all.

>> laura: i have people call you the paul wolfowitz. i've known you sometime. you're the paul wolfowitz who was to iraq to iran. you reject that? >> i do. >> having so much fun mr. secretary, don't want to join all of the fun on capitol and the senate any time soon? i'm shocked. >> i've said this for months. i said for months, as long as president trump will permit me to serve as secretary of state, that's what i want to do. >> laura: thank you for giving us so much time. >> yes, take care. >> laura: i want to bring back my panel. shortly after my interview, mayor pete tweeted innocent civilians are dead because they were caught in the middle of an unnecessary and unwanted military tit for tat. that disgusting thought must have been just a one off, right? wrong?

>> this is an example of the collateral damage. >> this type of miscalculation let's say on the part of the iranians more likely as a result of the tightened tensions. >> continued sabre rattling by the president doesn't help us. >> rob o'neill, how damaging is this for the democrats to so casually drawing equivalence between iranian terrorists and their president. >> it's amazing, right? it's almost like if president trump was involved in getting dogs out of the pound, they would say why is he reintroducing ray booes to the american public. it's the weirdest thing ever. if you want to lose a war, get swamp politicians and career diplomats involved. we killed the number three terrorist in a year where it's in an election year in iran also where in april, the ayatollah turns 81. he's going to be dead soon. he got one guy left. a new deal with iran to

negotiate probably before he's elected in november. anything anti-trump, anything anti-american, what can we do to hurt this administration. anything. they're saying it's our fault iran shot down a civilian airplane. chances are they got money from the funding we gave them. if you keep feeding the wolf, the wolf is going to keep eating the sheep. it's infuriating to watch this. >> laura: i don't think the mayor of south bend, god bless him. i know he served his country and honor his service, but i don't think his greatest executive experience lends himself to intelligible commentary on this. congressman, what's your takeaway from what pompeo specifically said about john kerry and that government and waiting, kerry and all of those, you know, samantha power and susan rice, you know they're all in government in waiting, sitting on the sidelines, trashing every little move regardless of whether they had culpability in years past. >> it's ridiculous. i loved what mike had to say. this is a guy who loves his country. and people are out there accusing him of wanting war with

iran? this is infuriating. these are the people who took $1.7 billion on the back of an airport and delivered it to the iranian people. and they're suggesting this didn't pay for missiles. this hasn't supported the shiah militia groups? it's ridiculous. my brothers and sisters in arms are over there right now and these dollars have been spent on weapons systems that are hurting them, that are killing them. it's -- it's unconscionable. >> laura: they said this is iran's money, we just released it. that's their way of answering this. because iran has been such a good actor. it deserved to have the pallets of cash sent over by obama to say oh, thank you for all of your great compliance. >> but they are right. this is iran's money. this is the people of iran's money. but those who got it are the regime. and that's why the actual people of iran have been demonstrating for the last three months. and that's why the iranian guard

headed by soleimani started to engage in the war against the americans. >> just so i'm clear, the real story about iran is not being told the media instead is ingesting, devouring, voraciously devouring this state-run media in the military and the -- an the al-quds propaganda, correct? >> yes, these are the talking points of al-quds. this is not something you imagine you translate it to arabic and you get the same talking points. >> calling it assassination, it was iran's talking point. >> laura: i don't know why aye emshocked. phenomenal conversation. only here on the ingraham angle. very busy hour. still ahead, the revolt against pelosi expanding. dr. drew pensky said he'll run against adam schiff and how harry and meghan are falling in the footsteps of hunter and chelsea. what?

don't go away.

i am totally blind. and non-24 can throw my days and nights out of sync, keeping me from the things i love to do. talk to your doctor, and call 844-214-2424.

read it again, papa? sure. i've got plenty of time. life line screening. the power of prevention. call now to learn more. is. >> i understand what the speaker is trying to do. but at the end of the day, just like we control it in the house, mitch mcconnell controls it in the senate. i think it's time to send impeachment to the senate. >> speaker nancy pelosi, she got to congressman adam smith. because just a few hours after that, he tweeted -- i misspoke this morning. what? if the speaker believes holding the articles for a longer time for a fairer fight in the senate, i wholeheartedly support that decision. he's a committee chairman. mitch mcconnell, the one who holds all of the real power here, he made it clear he's done playing games.

>> if the speaker continues to take her own accusations to trial, the senate will move forward next week with the business of our people. we will operate on the assumption that house democrats are too embarrassed to ever move forward. >> joining me now is the chairman of the american conservative union, richard goodstein, lawyer, and hillary advisor and congressman andy biggs. can you admit the democrats have completely misplayed this? >> let's assume that the articles of impeachment have been sent over immediately. this would have been over perhaps by christmas. instead, what do we have? >> laura: it was urgent. >> we have growing majorities of the public, 57%. >> what? >> you can laugh. i'm telling you to look at 538.com and the polls, 57% say the president should be impeached. 52% now say impeached and removed. 57% say witnesses. 70% -- >> laura: got the entire 2016

election wrong. >> so did rasmussen last year by a whopping ten points you. can make fun. but no dispute that every since impeachment that it's gone up, the support for bringing witnesses has gone up. and you can laugh, now every senator is going to have to vote. we'll see what they think. >> richard -- who by the way, every time he comes on the show, i want to say you write a lot of notes. he's a good loyal. like he writes more better notes than anyone. congressman, this is odd, though. tonight, "the washington post" is reporting democrats basically collectively saying, "what the hell is going on" with this strategy. what are we going to do? that's from "the washington post." so, we always pile on the republicans for screwing up strategy, but you guys do a lot. this is which way are we going here. >> we heard repeatedly from democrats and republicans in the senate today talking about, hey, we need these, we need to get

going here. you have members of the house who like adam smith said we need to get it over there. and you write nancy pelosi must have got to him or steny or somebody, oh, we can't go there. that's their problem. they have misplayed this. it isn't that the people want the president impeached, it's that most in the middle don't even care anymore. >> laura: this is an odd situation, though, for i think the 2020 democrats, matt. because they're not quite sure what to do here. because i don't think the polls are getting better for impeachment. i think the economy is doing well. seems to have taken out a bad guy. don't like everything trump does. pretty darn good. the economy won't get much better than it is now. i think it's ancient history for something that's so urgent. >> i think the problem with what richard is saying that he's mixing up a lot of things in those polls. there are a lot of americans like myself, a trump supporter, who would like to just go ahead and dispatch the thing. so many of the polls are saying

should we go forward with the trial in the senate? i'd like to have a big hairy one. i'd like to see hunter biden show up. the other thing is -- >> let me finish, richard. they have nothing to do with this. >> the other thing that's interesting is it's a bipartisan vote in the senate basically committal. and we had a republican and democrat -- we had democrats voting with republicans to not impeach the president. nothing about this she can't hold all of her democrats together. she's doing a beautiful job of keeping the republicans together where we're not good at. severing playing our way. i would like for this to go on for the whole year. >> we're all in that together. i think if this never got sent over. mitch mcconnell said why are we getting this dumped in our lap. let's move on the the public's business like usmca. aye, aye, why not? massive majority in the house for republicans and democrats usmca.

let's get that. why not? >> we could easily at this point say look, if he was impeached, we dismiss the articles of impeachment. nothing says in the impeachments. >> trials have witnesses, cover-ups do not. >> cover-up in the house -- the house was -- >> she's asking the senate to call witnesses that they didn't need to call in the house? >> it was muzzling everybody who ever talked with the president. that's the -- >> laura: muzzling? i have a question. if we're talking about a cover-up, why won't we release the transcript of the whistleblower. why not release his name. >> fell off of the face of the earth, his transcript disappeared. it has zero bearing on what the charges were all about. >> laura: then why not release it. >> like hillary's e-mail, it's a total misdirection. >> laura: i want to read those. what do you mean? msnbc, the iran deal and soliemani's killing. they compared soliemani to a rock star, an iconic british

royal, and i don't know what else? >> when some people die, you know, we -- we don't know what the impact is going to be. when princess diana died, for example, there was a huge el motional outpouring, these guys -- elvis presley in our culture. it turns out that the general he killed was a beloved hero of the iranian people. >> he saved kitties from trees and he donated to save children. congressmen, i've known matthews for a long time. i actually like him. what is going on here? this is cuckoo land for the democrats? >> they took out a terrorist, a guy who has killed and maimed thousands of people. >> he's elvis. >> yeah. it doesn't make sense. >> elvis, princess diana, and soliemani. i got it. >> i heard what the president said about the rally, what the butcher was. do we think that's a great idea looking back on it or not?

>> laura: i agree. we should have taken him out. i this they's a drone that's gone to war. >> smart war, you take that to the voters next year. >> let me jump in here real fast. this is the problem for the democratic candidates running for president. if you don't think you're taking out a terrorist that killed 600 americans, how can you be the commander in chief. >> they don't believe in taking oh it a terrorist, they believe in taking out trump. >> iran against the iranian regime and now demonstrating against us. >> propaganda. >> they never chanted death to america before, richard, all right. fantastic conversation. it seems like three against one. but i love richard. i love having him on. coming up, how does the royal exodus by harry and meghan follow the clinton and biden models? how does that make sense? i'm going to explain in a moment.

>> the kids cash in. that's the angle. the british royalty has been cocaine to the press. they can never get enough of it. in the tabloid era, princess diana, then william and kate. but there's a whole new level of add ration for prince harry and his wife, meghan markel. for the global elites, the duke and duchess of sussex were a long-awaited cure-all for everything that was wrong in the stuffy stuck up protocol of the

royal family. >> i appreciate our planet and what it has to offer. the world we live in can't be replicated or tamed. >> feminism is about fairness. the basic and fundamental human right of being able to participate in the choices for your future and that of your community. >> it's a biracial woman marrying into an institution seen by so many as a bastion of white privilege and a symbol of the abuses of colonialism, meghan markel has quickly been adopted as a beacon of potential change here. >> well, after months of complaining that they actually haven't been accepted by the royals, harry and meghan dropped a bombshell, didn't call the queen, but they did it via instagram insisting that we intend to step back as senior members of the royal family and work to become financially independent while continuing to support her majesty, the queen. in other words, we're not going to do what's expected of us. but we're happy to cash in on the whole royal thing.

>> they want to collaborate with the queen and prince charles and prince william rather than having a system where they have to be told what to do all the time. >> sounds like my kids. they don't want to do what they're supposed to do. they just want to keep getting -- all right. they had the benefits of being a prince and a princess. they see themselves more like jay-z and beyonce than will and kate or duke and duchess. there are reports they even trademarked their titles or want to as they wait for what, i don't know, their baby boy to determine their own gender identity. a transcontinental life likely in canada and in england. make no mistake, they'll still live off of the royal family. and in the uk, they'll continue to reside at the palatial home gifted to them by the queen and refurbished for them courtesy of the british taxpayers. the royal family still reeling with prince andrew's connection with jeffrey epstein is reportedly appalled by the duo's

ungrateful, boorish behavior. don't worry. harry and meghan are starting a charitable foundation to help you little people. we in the u.s. have our own royal wannabes, though, don't we? they also enjoy exploiting the former position for piles of cash. i'm talking about the clintons. they entered the white house in '92 worth nothing. but the time they got settled to private life, bill clinton was worth $240 million. did that many people really buy their lousy memoirs. that's on top of what they raised for the clinton foundation which took in $249 million in hillary clinton's first year as secretary of state. hmm. they conveniently then grafted their daughter, chelsea into the scam by naming her vice chair of the foundation. >> we are probably most well known for our work in health. we also work in climate change and we work on empowering women and girls around the world, supporting women entrepreneurs around the world, from haiti to west africa to india.

>> yeah. it's all about haiti. well, chelsea is a woman best known for her last name with no discernible professional experience. i'm sure she's a nice person. but she made $9 million since 2011 by sitting on the board of an internet investment firm run by her mom's friend. but that's not all. for her nonexistent experience in broadcast journalism, she was also paid $26,724 per minute as a special correspondent for nbc. again, despite having zero broadcast experience or media talent. now, she's a best-selling children's author, occasionally sharing writing credits with that other beloved children's scribe, her mother, hillary clinton. >> i will say, i do talk to my mother more now than i have made her a grandmother. i have -- >> definitely worth millions of dollars for that dog and pony show. well, look, it's a routine copied by former vice president

joe biden's favorite son, hunter. middle class joe went from having possibly negative net worth turning more than $15 million since leaving office, and his son seems to have learned the secret of success, nepotism. hunter biden ranked in $50,000 a month as a member of the ukrainian gas company, barisma despite having no energy experience at all. and we don't know how hunter benefitted from the business deals in china, how much he benefitted. but according to the biden-loving media, it's the trump children who are the real problem. >> it's the trump kids almost every day they probably make more money than hunter biden made in all of his years in serving investors and public -- in companies abroad. >> certainly hunter biden was not the first one. you look at the -- there are a couple of the trump kids. >> probably the most unethical group of people we've ever seen in this republic. >> laura: okay, i can't finish

the monologue tonight. here's the problem. the trump kids didn't get rich off of being in public office. they actually had made their money before their -- before the president was elected. it came from running something called a business -- okay? making a payroll. in fact, the president -- by some accounts, have lost money since taking office, maybe as much as a $1 billion, the businesses which his kids run are suffering, some of the properties and resorts are reportedly losing some money. but the media tells us it's the trump kids that need to be watch and held in suspicion. that's kind of a nifty trick, isn't it? i guess the trump kids need to go bankrupt in order to pass the ethics test to the left. meanwhile, liberals with family connections and cool humanitarian ideas, but zero talent, they get to cash in and get a free pass. and that's the angle.

joining me now is tammy bruce, a fox news contributor and president of the independent women's voice. she wrote a fantastic piece for "the washington times" on this very topic titled, chelsea clinton's dubious earnings. tammy, maybe we're being unfair, because, look, the bush daughters, they went to nbc and they -- i guess one went to nbc and i'm sure they do pretty well. so it's -- is this what everyone does, right? >> it's really exposed -- it's brought to my attention by -- it's chelsea is $9 million worth, right? of these stocks. because ironically, of course, the -- the trump economy. that stock went up double digits in '17, '18, and '19. so the clintons are reaping the donald trump work as well. it shows you the next layer down of what's become a stratified dynamic, really, a class-based system where the parents believe of these families, of these

dynastic families here in america, of course, with politics, that this country belongs to them. that this is the family company whether it's the -- whether it's the clintons or the bushes or anyone else who got one member or another moving through politics, or the bidens, and so now it's the children who are also entitled to this framework. and so that's where you've got -- it also can be, of course, an issue of influence, right? that these are hillary -- chelsea's money and her jobs were moving through as her mother was being considered or considering running for president. my favorite, by the way, laura, is in 2006 to 2008, a -- a clinton foundation donor, mark lazry put chelsea in charge of being a chemical industry analyst at his hedge fund. all right? >> laura: what? >> now i'm not kidding you. between 2006 and 2008. her mother is running for president in 2008. i mean, chemical industry

analyst is to the clintons as energy analyst is to the bidens. so all of this stuff, the stuff on nbc, the stuff on -- >> laura: tammy, you know who we left off -- i left out the angle, we didn't have enough time. the obamas came in, but they're both went to law school. they can make a decent amount of money being lawyers. but -- >> sure. >> laura: but now they're producers of media content. where did they get that talent? maybe. they collect $200 million at netflix. so for -- for exactly what? and a lot of people are saying netflix programming, could that be part of a vehicle to influence and change minds about politically, culturely, but $200 million. >> people argued, look, whatever something is worth is what the marketplace says it is worth. but then look at the nature of who gets promoted. right? you have obama's promoting 24/7, there's going to be interest there. >> laura: now criticism.

>> no criticism at all, same with the clintons. and on the other hand, you have business-building individuals with the history of success individually, which are the trumps, they're the ones that are evil because they're in the playing to the same role. so this is all about a redistribution of money, the system replenishing itself using the children in certain cases. but -- but this inheritance thing is going to have to come to an end. and i think we're in the process of the closure. >> fantastic piece, thank you. it's not just that -- it's that the republicans -- the conservatives, the trump kids, they have to suffer. they can't get -- they have to suffer. and their businesses just have to shut down. even though they built it before this, unbelievable. thank you. dr. drew pensky is mulling a congressional run. his potential opponent? mr. impeachment himself, adam schiff, dr. drew here exclusively, next.

>> we're not criminals. we're not dogs in the street to be shot. >> no drug addiction, no violence or nothing. be up here get stuff stolen from me. it's rough out here. >> you just saw this everyday occurrence in california. my next guest is so angry he's considering a congressional run against adam schiff. joining me is dr. drew pensky, an addiction specialist. you say you had epiphany watching the impeachment proceedings. >> i was talking to adam carolla. i gave a presentation at the symposium. they played some of the c-span tape. and at the end i feel so upset, i feel like i have to do something politically. i'm like wake up every day

upset. i feel like i must do something. people have come to me for various kinds of political engagement. and i'm watching the impeachment hearings and i was like, wait a minute, i think i live in adam schiff's district. i didn't know he's my congressman. i've lived there for 20 years, we are dying out there. i'm sick of the political theater and i need someone to govern. we need help. we need the imd exclusion lifted so i can treat the chronic and mentally ill. we need infrastructure. we're dying and these guys are engaged in political theater. and i thought i think i'm morally obliged to do something. i do not want to. i don't want to do this. it's not my thing. but i feel i have to. >> laura: do you think there's a constituency for what you're saying the frustration you're airing, or is schiff so clawed into the system that you need like the jaws of life to pull him out of d.c.? >> well -- it's hard to know. i mean, we would see if i were to do this. you know, after i made the comments on the carolla show,

the hill called and did an interview. they distort every word you say. much to this reporter's benefit, she took exactly what i said and reported it. every other outlet misquoted that story. it was a great example of how dysfunctional the print press is. it went from, hey, i don't want to run, i feel obliged to, but i'm probably not going to but i woke one this crazy idea that i need to, even though i'm not going to and i don't want to, it became every other outlet, he's running. check your sources, guys, before you print this stuff. >> you know, it is quite shocking, though, that all of the humanitarians on the left walk over the human feces, the waste, and the needles everywhere. >> you can't even imagine. i was just downtown. before coming here, i was in downtown los angeles. three people are dying in the streets a day. when you drive through this -- the multi-mile raids you of the downtown area, you can't even imagine what you look at. it's mind warping, mind

boggling. this is a -- we haven't had this kind of dysfunction since the 11th century. >> i think you need to think about running. i really do. think long and hard about it. >> think about it. maybe he'll govern. maybe just the idea of it. see you later. >> always a three-day weekend.

>> china came out today and is claiming that the detention camps of muslims part of their counterterror campaign and anybody who criticizes it detention centers are doing a

disservice to their efforts to counter violent radical extremism. >> the programs in the west are doing tremendous harm to the muslim there is. the president talked about it. i think it was the united nations. the language they use is not reflective of what's going on. the idea that somehow the camps in the west are promoting religious freedom is fundamentally untrue. >> make sure you tune in for my sitdown with president trump. shannon breen of the fox news at night team take it from here. >> thank you so much. >> have a great show. >> the death of an iranny general killing hundredses of americans. president stirring up controversy saying democrats want add briefing so they could make plans to take out soliemani to the media. highlights
