11:00 pm
my podcast and find it on the apple podcast and sean will be back here on tuesday and have a really great weekend. thank you. appreciate it. ♪ >> laura: i'm lauren ingram, this is this is "the ingraham angle" from washington tonight, and the nevada caucus results are meaningless for democrats at this point? and the moment, i'll explain why this is already a two-person ring before scott, doug shown react. we were first to point out that the russian history has also infected the entire democratic media complex andd robert ray ad harvey dillon explain what's driving it also tonight, unbelievable incident in which you guys might have missed because focusing on all the political stuff, a warning from
11:01 pm
the cdc over the coronavirus as the chinese continued to withhold vital information from us. of course they are, senator tom cotton lead on the issue like nobody else in the president and he steered us on thee alarm and it's friday, of course, you've got to have some folly raymond arroyo brings us a service animal update for the ages. details the latest black mark for celebrities. but first, a little over 12 hours until folks start organizing the nevada caucuses and it looks like democrats could be facing a repeat of the fiascoo that we saw and i iowa two weeks back if you can believe it. experts are warning of potential technical snafu, the dnc already avoided 1,00 1,000 early votes. party chair tom perez, he told them that he woke commit to samy election results. are wee a third world country, e can't announce the election results on the night of the
11:02 pm
election? do we have computers, i guess not. a hand counting. if the account in kansas behind the point and the real questions this. do that even matter? win tomorrow and after that, the order that the finishes don't make that much of a difference and i feel confident tonight that this race is shaping up to be a two-man show. sanders versus bloomberg. despite the horrific debate performance wednesday night. same goes, follow the money, "wall street journal" is reporting that "ur pete buttigi, joe biden, they have not invested in any advance in the crucial super tuesday state. while amy klobuchar and elizabeth warren come by and have put than 2 million into super tuesday ads that's nothing. that's like grocery store circular. in other words, they're running out ofof cash, running out of time, which bernie through his army and through his own personal finances, they have the
11:03 pm
money at stake. on top of fund-raising, the biggest tell for her with a front runner as his real threat, it's whom they attack. bernie will use his sunday "60 minutes" interview to take a direct aim now add one person and one person only. mike bloomberg. >> i think it's quite likely that trump will chew him up and spit him out. i'm worried about the unprecedented amount of money being spent on the campaign. you know, we've never seen anything like this in american history. >> laura: for bloomberg, well, the feeling of antipathy isn't mutual. >> i worried that we may very well beyond the weight of somebody who cannot win in november. we choose a candidate who appeals to a small base like senator sanders, it will be a fatal error. >> laura: after nevada, the democratic primary race moves to south carolina and that state
11:04 pm
was supposed to be joe biden's firewall, but by then elitist shrinks, bloomberg is telling his rich friends to stop giving money to biden's campaign and just slowly let the patient bleed out. south carolina can end up being uncle joe's last stand and that's if he even makes it they're afraid of bringing in the power panel, that's a mouthful, doug schoen, frank, who also happens to be of the bloomberg 2020 campaignth okay, frank, obviously trump recovery to many times in 2016 and all the experts that he was finished a member of the john mccain comment about prisoners of war and anybody after that, judge curiel, all these things said it was over. either any other examples of a candid andan recovering from something as bad as bloomberg debate debacle? d >> actually, bill clinton,
11:05 pm
bill clinton had the eruption of his private life and he went on "60 minutes" and had a very successful interview and that brought him back from the dead and people assume that he was finished the course, he served two terms as president. i look at bloomberg as being similar to what happens to rick barry, we were expecting him to come out swinging and we are expecting him to takeak on sands and warren, and what happened was that he was on defense the entire time and his answers were half-baked at best. if he does not do well in the south carolina, south carolina having a debate d next week, thy will have one opportunity but if heav doesn't, he could have wasd $200 million. >> laura: i want to go to doug schoen to respond to that period of doubt, working for bloomberg 2020 bl a lot ofve conversation i heard over the last couple of days and how bloomberg, a man of his brainpower substantial, created
11:06 pm
a unbelievably successful company, global company, smart guy. how did he not seem to be prepared at the debate? who did the recording of them and why are we not just hearing tonight that he is willing to release three women from the nondisclosure agreement if they want the disclosure agreements public? they just have to call bloomberg operation i guess and they will release them. where are we doing this now? >> well, a couple of answers to a couple of questions. first, mike bloomberg has not debated anyone since 2009, he's an extraordinary man who has done extraordinary things as both a private citizen, businessman, philanthropist, and a mayor and i don't think that he's a natural debater, not a law professor like elizabeth warren. he's an extraordinary person and politics is more than just answering questions in a multicandidate field and i think you will do a better job indo
11:07 pm
south carolina, laura, he's only down i think the three points from his height in the mornings heand he's within the margin of error where he was buried reports of the demise are exaggerated and that being said, he made the decisios made to try to be more transparent. >> laura: i just said, it's going to be bloomberg versus sanders, only a matter of time before mr. perfect, buttigieg, amy klobuchar, you know, they drop out. they'll be over and will be the two of them no doubt aboutut it. but, scott, this is where the great stands now and a bunch of new poles that come out and the results fromew the first post oa pole, you can see here, it looks like all the hubbub from the media was about nothing and barely any movement there and doug hinted at that. we have bernie up and fight and at 19, bloomberg is two points down. elizabeth warren running out of
11:08 pm
cash, but bloomberg dropped about three points. what now, and is it about super tuesday? >> laura, look, but bloomberg can stay in the race as long as he wants and he can keep writing checks and keep spending money on television but his failure to launch the campaign last wednesday night it shook up the race in ways that we are just beginning to see the effects of grade i think you are overestimating the prospect and we talked about the bill clinton come back in 1992, a big difference and bill clinton was a once in a generationff politician. mike bloomberg is a politician who makes hillary clinton look like a good campaigner. good does not have a debate in south carolina, it's very hard to see how mike bloomberg gets anywhere close to a nomination no matter how much he spends. >> look, running against bush against running against trump, it's a different dynamic at play and the democrats are so -- they
11:09 pm
are like shaking with concern that they might nominate bernie and bernie is not good to be a strong candidate as bloomberg and not sure they're right about that but nevertheless, you know, i think scott is right and the politics is not about personality whether it'sbu bush, w, clinton, obama, trump, what they like them at all, they had big outside personality. bloomberg, just kind of doing things his own ways and if you don't like it, too bad data that does not play in my deal.. >> he's been personally successful and here's the problem i think bloomberg would have been a better candidate as an independent and democrats don't like wealth. they don't like billionaires. they show on the billing us to vote against them in the election and i want to get the bloomberg campaign credit to the advertising, even testing them in iowa, new hampshire, nevada, and they've done very well and they've been referred to the advertising of other candidates and so the ads are clearly
11:10 pm
having an impact. too many people are watching the debates, too many people expect you to be able to stand up against your opponents and show why you deserve to be elected. he did not succeed it in the last debate and he doesn't have a choice and if he wants to be president, he's going to have to do a better job in south carolina where the advertising will not be able to sustain him beyond super tuesday. >> laura: joe biden came out and talked aboutsu what his -- well, his benchmark is for the next big contest in nevada. watch. >> for my vice president said he's going to win nevada, what's a win for you guys in nevada? >> i think a win for us would be coming in very close in the top of the bunch. >> laura: obviously the campaign manager top of the bunch, that's the biden goal there. >> i think abundant is effectively dead inn the water
11:11 pm
and he's out of money, south carolina is very tight and he's not going to win tomorrow in nevada and that's pretty clear.r. i would say, the party is facing a real crisis because i do not believe that a candidate like bernie sanders who is running a class base campaign with a narrow message as chyor bloomberg said, has a chance against donald trump and so the democrats commit fratricide of the type that i saw -- i guess it was wednesday night, candidly, the winner is donald trump i and i said, othes have said, i think this is very, very bad for the democratic party to believe that if they can just attack wealth and the man who's taken no special interest and money, built a business on his own, no family money, just a tech because he's wealthy is beyond foolish. >> laura: that's where the party p is. gentlemen, thank you so much and great to see all of you and have a fantastic weekend. i want to take a moment to show you something that caughtd. my e
11:12 pm
in this tweet from never trumper bill kristol calling democratic members of congress governors, other leaders, could you perhaps say in public when you say in private, the sanders nomination will be disastrous for the part, bad for the country. now, that got me thinking. if, however, others in his campaign handling sanders in "the washington post" always present and the recently wrote,f you'ree, established democratic free of the sanders nomination, nervous about going forward, encourage them to leave. if i'm enjoying this a lot in the bleeding -- over bleeding, e over bleeding is not just those two characters, just t watch. >> the democratic mom and a. >> they are giggling and dancing the victory dance already popping bottles
11:13 pm
and it's going to be in bernie sanders. >> going full democratic socialist that's going to be the deal breaker for a lot of swing voters. >> it's a death sentence for the party. >> laura: this is a cantina scene from "star wars" here. all right, ladies and gentlemen, what were watching is the unintentionally hilarious death rattle of all of the political losers. if they have nowhere to go except i guess to come out from the liberals at this points. the burn the bridges with the rights, and the liberals never actually took this one seriously and they had to have known that and now they're just flat out ignoring it. finally, something on which we can all agree. joining me now, founder of turning point usa, author of "mega doctrine" and lisa, what made you everything that they ever had any say on who the
11:14 pm
democrat loyalists ultimately go for it at the end in the primaries? >> we know that democrats are just using the never trumpers to serve the purpose and the second that they say things they don't want to hear they will be pushed out and pushed aside. they are all wrong, bernie sanders is the toughest candidate for president trump phase in the general election and he will be the democratic nominee and he's the only person that has the majority right now or at least heading into the convention and you can see how bernie sanders has a similar populist message to president trump. he's got the message, and that could appeal to the forgotten man and women that was able toump appeal to especially again and the establishment of canted into hillary clinton sues the monk who so out of touch. sif bernie sanders isn't as out of touch as he is and you can even look at medicare for all, getting rate of 50 million
11:15 pm
people's health care but if you looke at policies for the 70%, majority of americans support some of the policy so i think republicans acting like some how bernie sanders is not a threat, and the people we listen to for the microphone were not rebel against, but republicans acting like somehow it's going to be an easy race against bernie sanders and it will not be. >> laura: i said for weeks now, charlie, don't underestimate sanders and he is the energy he is the philosophy and bloomberg basically wants to continue outsourcing jobsti to china and get rid of the tariffs and go back to kind of the prpretrump days. i think lisa is right in the sense that the energy in the passion is with the full populist movement of big government left. >> that's exactly right and bernie sanders resonates best with people when he talks about moneyhe and populist dimock politics bernie sanders made the fatal error as hee tried to go all in on the open borders, no
11:16 pm
immigration restriction l, radical influences of the left he never used to be that away. american first immigration policies, now opening the porter, no border restriction at all and that's where rupresident trump's credibility successful against senator bernie sanders. to lisa's point, exactlygr righ, it's really hard to run against free and it's really hard because he's going going just promised more stuff than the other side and every single and constituent, and they have a little person at that we will forget that too doesn't matter if you can't fulfill it he's going to promise it and i agree that senator sanders will be formidable in the media will be coming as a activist network to protect them. the media will be far more bought in to the candidacy of bernie sanders than they were of hillary clinton. >> laura: have to be at this point and joe biden came out and he is concerned about the fact that bernie has not really been vetted recently. watch. >> i've been the front runner
11:17 pm
for so long i've gone through all of the vetting that could be vetted. i'm still standing. they will start of that bernie and they will that bernie on things that he had not been challenged on very much before. >> laura: what of that, the trump people seem to want burning and they really haven't gone after bernie as they obviously will if he ends up being the nominee. >> i don't think the vetting will matter because i think bernie sanders lee's full are hardly the michael michael wholeheartedly. and then president trump, and the way that you hit bernie sanders, president trump laid it out very well in the venezuela -- in the speech he gave about venezuela and miami where he sat, look, socialism is an about the average american woman, it'she not about the comn people, socialism is about empowering the ruling class and that's where the powers going to go also, lou bloomberg went after him on owning the three
11:18 pm
homess. bernie sanders is have a credit also where president trump is best served to attack amount as well. >> laura: the fact that charlie pointed out, look we got a go, but he still trailing back failing in europe right now. a look at the gdp in the last year. charlie, lisa, great to see jo. they do so much. pressure history returns with a vengeance. it simply is, same thing, all again. stay here. ♪ when we started our business

11:23 pm
donald trump get reelected. donald trump is a russian operative. >> laura: i'm sorry, this is the best comedy i've ever seen. hilarious. that was just a piece of the reaction that we've seen the lastho 24 hours, the reports frm "the new york times" and "washington post" claiming that russia is"t trying to get trumpd reelected in november because trump has been soo good to russa and sadly, not sadly, i want to say pat ourselves on the back, we've been predicting something like this was going to s happen. >> this looks a lot like a planted story meant to prespend the 2020 election and maybe even provide cover to front runner joe biden should any inconvenient details.ho if they come out, they can say, see, russia. >> laura: joining us now, trump 2020 advisory board and defense team member and former
11:24 pm
independent counsel, okay, we reported last night that they completely mischaracterize the meeting. they cannot help, can they, themselves from diving right back in and yet the thing, they have to wake up robert marler and say that we need you back and therere is another run at ts idea of russia collusion. >> well, they say a like it's halfway around the world before the truth can get the break on and that's what the situation has been here with the version two of the russian scan, you name it, insurance policy, for the democrats. we've seen amy klobuchar and other democrats repeat the propaganda and lie on television but even though, you know it's bad when he's actually dialing it back a little bit on twitter and so ultimately, laura, you called it a few months ago, a distraction and the president's team needs to anticipate it, ignore, brush it aside, keep focusing on the prize. as an aside, laura, every
11:25 pm
foreign power is going to want a stable and reliable and honest trustworthy president that can make deals with and i think russia is no different so in that sense, t sure, every forein power once somebody that they can trust. >> laura: who do you think might be preferred byrr china? the guy who would lift all the tariffs, namely bloomberg, or trump, the guy who's been making china's life a lot more difficult. of course they want somebody like bloomberg and a lot more powerful and a l lot more people and obviously then russia have a tiny economy comparatively. >> after the whole thing is debunked, cnnnn tries to spin it this way. >> may be the assessment was stated to clearly and if not all cleared the russians want trump. >> donald trump's reaction is something that the russians are watching because donald trump's reaction was not let me see the sources and thet' methods his election was that i want mcguire out and tells the rush
11:26 pm
out one thing which is of course, were going to keep doing this. >> laura: robert, i wish we had all the concern about russia when it was the soviet union and we cannot get their attention. but now, they're back on the russia train and there's room to jump off and break up every bone in the political body in election to that. >> as he predicted, variation of the same russia collusion narrative and have to say i don't understand how anybody can be so speculative about this since we do not have any information about actually what the intelligence was. and exactly what kind of russia interference that you're talking about so, all of the media, you know, the hullabaloo, frankly it amounts to nothing since i don't have anything to measure against that i don't know what they're talking about. more and partly, they don't know what they're talking about. >> laura: robert, i'm so glad you said and getting to the new breaking news of our bernie sanders in russia, but katherine harris at cbs this, familiar with the white house

11:28 pm
as a media is that they lost all credibility and they are the boy who cried wolf and right now, it's really bad and dangerous for the national security because we can trust our own intelligence. it is bringing a favorite of the russians, may become of the folks who wanto a blast from the pastnt and return to communism around the world but in reality, laura, robert says, we can put little faith on the leaks and what we do now is the president is trying to finally crackdown on a leaked riddled and unfriendly national intelligence apparatus in the white house and that's about time and tremendoue damage and past time, laura. clean house of the intelligence and i'm thrilled that he's d finally doing those and hope we don't see a repeat of that in the next administration. >> laura: another interesting point we have to get through and this is a really fascinating development and very little time, rubber, california, okay, the "los angeles times" spun a

recent price action and saying that ice is arresting two people at the courthouse. but in response, they said in a statement that california law does not supersede federal law and will not govern the conduct and the duly enacted laws passed by congress. does the "los angeles times" need a lesson on constitutional law specifically the laws, specifically the insurrection act was a exception? >> two words under the constitution, supremacy clause. i've enough trouble dealing with stuff that i know something about and trying to stay away from things i don't know anything about. this one is simple, i don't know where wen' have gotten off the track but the democratic party thinks that they can ignore the constitution when it comes to immigration. i just don't understand it. >> laura: and you live there, how's it going to play out in the president has the righ righo dispatch h federal authority.

matter. >> laura: the plane that carried all those individuals back into the united states, there is a long piece in "the washington post" about how there was a raging debate including the centers for disease control and other administration officials about whether to allow the individuals back inn that given how little information we really know about real incubation periods, real ability to test, et cetera. the center for disease control said i guess you can do what you want but were not putting our name on this press release are putting out. that concerns me a lot. there seems to be a disagreements and our government about how to handle infected patients. >> so, laura, i think it's a very last-minute decision given the facts on the ground, these americans were on the diamond princess cruise ship in japan and it seems now, very unwise decision of the japanese

government to have because of the passengers on the cruise ship given that the wayay that it spread across the cruise ship. if americans who are known to have the coronavirus were takenn the japanese hospitals we have 350 americans going aboard planes coming back to him american military bases and courting here and apparently, one dozen of them tested positive and fortunately the planes had segregated areas for people who appeared symptomatic in flights and i understand it's a tough call at the last minute and not depressingly disagreements and i think that the democratic officials waited obviously wanted to err on the side that's the wanted to bring the markets back. it ends a's be on the other nigt , the head of the national institute of diseases, and we talk to them about china strath trustworthiness and here's what he said. >> w.h.o. has finally gotten a

team of team in international groups to go over there. at this point in time, i believe those numbers. >> laura: i'm surprised you'd that given what we know about china's pattern of lying. if they go my direct interaction with chinese scientists and chinese health officials, nonparty politics, but medical people and scientists that i can believe what they are telling me. >> laura: senator, do you have the same view of chinese scientists and like a line between the scientists and the ccp? the communist party of china. >> laura, i have the highest respector for the doctor. so i don't disagree that china scientists and doctors can in some cases be world class in the can be professional, however, they n have sitting next to them at every level of government, reminder from the communist

chinese party and i don't have any confidence in the party apparatchiks allowing china scientists or the doctors to speak freely to anybody outside of china especially officials in the united states government. that's why we've seen the numbers of the coronavirus continued to spike and kind of strange unpredictable patterns and those are nearly the new cases, their newly disclosed cases because china is carefully managing the flow of information about the virus. >> laura: when you call someone who floats conspiracy theories because you questioned the comments and the justification that they give on s it.t all started you mention the fact that there's a level four lab in the wuhan province where it's thought to have biological weapons and the capability of production, any new thoughts on that? >> well, laura, we know that it started in the wuhan food market and that's the original story of the chinese communist party and
11:54 pm
only responsible to ask where it did start and i still think the most likely hypothesis is that it was naturally occurring. given the proximity of the laboratory, over to the food market, it is only reasonable thatd we asked the chinese communist party to be open and transparent about the kind of research they were conducting there and the safety protocols and practices that they have in place. until china provides the evidence, we cannot know for sure where the virus originated. >> laura: senator, thank you for raising these questions and few are doing so and we really appreciate your leadership in general. thank you so much for being with us tonight. >> thank you, laura. >> laura: comingg up, dog show that triggers the left? the last bite will somehowe explain. ♪
