america and the world on the break, 40% off, amazon.com, costco's, walmart, books a million, barnes & noble. let not your heart be troubled. like? because the news continues, and laura ingraham is standing by next. >> laura: hey, hannity, great interview, and the drip, drip, drip, that is just a flop, flop, flop, continues against trump. you and i predicted this, we knew it was going to happen. it's actually laughable at this point, but don't you love the way that she is such a fighter for the american people, i'm telling you. it's fascinating. he is going to love my "angle," because i pick up where you left off. >> sean: i'm going to watch closely. there is going to a breathless, oh, media mob. i tell you why, they are scared to death. >> laura: oh, yeah. >> sean: the american people can shock the world again. >> laura: there is a smell of panic in the air, and it is not

coming from trump. hannity, awesome show, as always. >> sean: thanks, laura. >> laura: i am laura ingraham, this is "the ingraham angle" from washington to my. a lot of attention, as we said, is being paid to this bob woodward book. we are going to tell you what really matters about the revelations within it. we will also highlight a stunning new work from byron york, how his exclusive insight into the democrats rapid impeachment spectacle provides r donald trump. also, raymond arroyo, he's back, and he's going to unmask biden's new campaign style. plus, the oscars have a new litmus test for nominees. "seen and unseen close to what explains it all. but first, selling defeatism. that is the focus of tonight "angle." now, fdr, during the depths of the great depression, and his first inaugural address, told in country we have nothing to fear but fear itself. those immortal words were meant to instill confidence, not

panic, to convey strength, not weakness. winston churchill during the worst of the blitz on london went on radio night after night to boost the spirits of his people as the brutally tried too submission. now, both men understood that projecting fear or worry onto a beleaguered people is dangerous. in fact, when a free people begin to doubt their own survival, well, that is when they need optimistic, unshakable leaders the most. falling into self or dwelling on the worst aspects of our past or present only breeds self-loathing, defeatism, and despair. and ultimately disaster. and this is precisely the mind-set today's democrats have adopted. joe biden and his media have become masters of anti-american propaganda. they believe we live in a wick wicked country that deserves

suffering, punishment, and pain. >> and what it did, though, it also exposed that we have not been paying enough attention to the underlying racism that is institutionalized in the united states, still exists, has existed for 400 years. and so, what has happened is, we end up in a circumstance like you had here in kenosha. >> laura: now, justifying the riots while condemning the violence, yeah, that's really nice. the obvious question for biden, and that these pseudo-journalists will not ask, is this: sir, how could a systematically racist country elect an african-american president not once, but twice? has biden forgotten his own resume? and here is another question: what was joe biden doing for the last 47 years? how many times has biden talked about what a great country we have and what a great people we

are? was that all a lie, or is he lying now? is he smearing this country and 250 years of american history in a cynical attempt to win minority votes? well, one thing is for sure, his protectors in the media won't try to find out. whatever biden's motivation here, whatever it might become his words are doing great harm. his most ardent supporters now openly question whether america was all its white privilege will or even should survive. i just published a "new yorker" piece called "th "the american myth," it feels like the foundation of our nation has deepening cracks, possibly too many to repair any time soon, or perhaps at all. the attempt to reckon with our unjust past has produced more questions and new divisions about our future. well, the fact is the hard left -- that is the hard left, gave up on america decades ago.

they never forgave americans for electing reagan. and disgusted with this country, they decided to poison its future. they took over the universities and began the slow but steady process of indoctrinating our kids to despise the united states, turning their minds against our history, our constitution, and our traditions. now, this sort of thing was going on when i was in college, but it's gotten much worse since then. over the last 35-40 years, generations of young people have been spoon-fed all manner of anti-american poison, and these efforts, well, they paid off for the left. all over the blue states, we see ungrateful brats roaming the streets in their antifa costumes straight out of central casting, burning government buildings, and even terrorizing innocent americans. it is a combination of ignorance and ragend. the democrat party that biden joined in the early 1970s,

back then, it still had some sense. believe in the rule of law, believed illegal immigration was a problem. heck come almost 40 years later, barack obama went to great pains, remember, to distance himself from the hateful anti-american rhetoric of his mentor, jeremiah "u.s. of kk" right. donald trump came along and democrats collectively lost their minds, and trump, they met their match, they met somebody who was on replante unrepentanco america. >> they go after me because i am fighting for you. >> laura: democrats could not risk him winning again, so they threw in with the hate-america crowd, hoping to ride the wave of civil unrest after george floyd to victory in november. well, that was wicked, and it was selfish. it was also a huge political

mistake. two months into the chaos, biden scrambled to come out and try to condemn the violence, but the damage is already done. he has now tied his political fortunes to those who have given up on america. he has stopped trying to put forward any serious proposals that we know would make life really better for most americans. because why would you want to make things better for a bunch of racists? he certainly has no intentions of maintaining american power, because why would you want a racist country to have any power? while he is left with, in fact, are the scraps of manufactured scandals that the media will toss out from now until the election. well, yesterday, we debunked "the atlantic"'s smears about how president trump criticized our troops. today, as if right on cue, the press moved right along, fulminating about bob woodward's new book. today's big claim was trump allegedly downplayed the coronavirus in public while privately telling woodward that

it was much more deadly than the flu. well, biden's faux anger quickly followed. >> he lied to the american people. when he knowingly and willingly lied about the threat of closing the country for months, he knew how dangerous it was. and while this deadly disease ripped through our nation, he failed to do his job on purpose. >> laura: again, this is nonsense. the president addressed this had on today. >> it's just another political hit job, but whether it was woodward or anybody else, you cannot show a sense of panic, or you are going to have bigger problems than you've ever had before. >> laura: and by the way, he said as much at the end of march, we will get you that any minute. dr. fauci, normally treated as gospel by the trump-hating media, he directly refuted the media's anti-trump narrative. >> i didn't really see any discrepancies between what he told us and what we told him and what he ultimately came out publicly and said. >> so did you get a sense that

he was or wasn't playing this down? >> no. no, no, i didn't. i didn't get a sense he was distorting anything. >> laura: whoops. suddenly, fauci is not quoted any more. as for joe biden, he is the one who was downplaying the virus. he criticized trumps china travel ban and was campaigning at events into march. the reality is biden from his team, and his supporters from all of them in the press, they have given up on a country that you love, and instead of respecting the actual data and defending our constitutionally guaranteed freedoms, team biden, they want to lock america down for months. of course, there is an exception. if you want to riot against trump, you are okay. don't think about going to church, though, or having any fun. talk about defeatist, let alone stupid and disruptive. and by contrast, president trump is an informed optimist. he wants us to wash our hands, be smart, if you want to wear a mask, wear a mask from and

carry-on. of course, bob woodward would never put any of that in a book. we've been telling you since the beginning of the year that the democrats have no positive platform to offer, they don't believe things will ever really get better in the united states. they never liked this country much to begin with, and now, they've given up on it totally. so the only way they convince americans to vote for biden is to accept less. expect a fullbore effort over the next two months to demoralize you, demoralize trump voters. they want you to accept defeat before a single vote is counted. and they are using big tech billionaires to reset the narrative. >> there is nothing illegitimate about this election, taking additional days or even weeks to make sure that all of the votes are counted. in fact, that might be important to make sure that this is a legitimate and fair election. >> laura: okay, that's just creepy. we somehow managed to vote in person during every other major

american crisis, so why not now, mark? because trump's president, that's why! the left is engaged in an all-out effort to depress and suppress the pro-trump vote. meanwhile, swamping us with mail-in votes. so far, these efforts have not worked. we are still fighting for our country, and the america first populist coalition supporting donald trump, we are optimistic, and most americans are just hardworking people fear what they want to live in safety and security. they haven't thrown in the towel and i would guarantee of life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, and they are not abot country in history because of a virus or rampaging radicals. and that is the "angle." joining me now is mollie hemingway, senior editor at "the federalist" and fox news contributor. mollie, it is clear, is it not, what the media are doing? they are going to drop daily

bombshells about the president and just give biden, you know, a soft, slow pitch down the middle for him to hit away at with no questions asked. >> i think it is important for people to understand so that they are prepared, we are less than two months away from election day, and people should anticipate that something like this will happen every day or so until election. it is very weird to have big media be so invested in the defeat of a president. it is not that bias hasn't been something we have seen before, obviously the 2016 election was a real low point for the media, but it sounds like all of the guardrails are off now, and anything that use to restrain the media into at least like pretending to be somewhat fair and how they cover things, that's all gone now. but i do think it is interesting it is not working as well as it used to, so when "the atlantic" story came out, everyone was instructed it had to be treated as a bombshell, that you had to accept the narrative put forth

by these anonymous sources, and adjusted and as planned for them. got all of these people on the records refuting and disputing it, all of the evidence that people saw, it just didn't work. so a couple of days later, they come out with something else, and it just doesn't seem to be having the same effect, in part because i actually think this is a particularly stupid story that's coming out -- >> laura: let me -- let me tell -- sorry to interrupt -- i want everyone to understand why you are saying that. because the audience needs to understand that the big bombshell from woodward was something that trump publicly discussed back in march. watch. >> the statements i made our i want to keep the country calm. i don't want panic in the country. i could cause panic much better than even you. i could do much -- i would make you look like a minor league player, but you know what, i don't want to do that, i want to have our country be calm and strong and fight and win, and it will go away. >> laura: mollie, you would think these so-called journalists in the media might have realized that a president wouldn't talk on the record with

bob woodward about something he was trying to hide, he was out in the open about why he was discussing the virus as he was, and treating it as he did. >> it's right there in videotape. everyone saw it, they all pretended to be outraged by it back in march, now they are attending to be outraged by it again. the context of the initial comments in early february of this is a bad virus, we should remember that was at a time when he was being brutalized were taking it seriously. he had checked on the border, started his task force, named it a public health threat, so people are saying, oh, don't do anything, or it is racist to care about the chinese coronavirus. of course he took it seriously, he was taking all of these actions. at the same time, he did not push for panic. i think it is legitimate to wonder if he did enough to prevent panic. there were a lot of people, particularly in the media by march, really trying to incite panic and really trying to shut down the economy, to keep businesses closed and keep kids out of school, he was resisting

that. >> laura: thank god. >> but the idea that you're going to criticize him for not wanting people to panic, it just doesn't really work for most americans. >> laura: it's mollie, we are now seeing what happens when you have these draconian markdowns as we had in some of these countries in europe, and now, for us, cases are coming back because it is a virus and it follows particular laws of viruses, and at their economies are much worse off than ours, and, you know, if you are in red state america, your life is pretty much going back, slowly but surely, to normal. if you are in blue state america, you are still living under these ridiculous rules. >> things are going better than i think some people feared with the shutdown, but it is also true this was originally sold as a two-week shutdown just to slow the spread and make sure hospitals went overwhelmed. now, months later, with people still wanting to push to coney and measures, seemingly for political reasons, all of a sudden the goalpost have moved and it has nothing t to do with overwhelming hospitals and everything to do with, like,

preventing anyone from getting this, which was not how it was sold, initially. in general, i think people want to get the economy coming back, they want optimism, and i understand that the out party always has to criticize, but i don't think it is particularly inspirational to be told that the country's dark, there is no future, there's no hope, and joe biden has said he might shutdown the economy again if he saw the need. >> laura: america is a myth. this is how -- this is how much they have given up on america, they are calling america, now, a myth, mollie. we're going to track all of this from now until election day. mollie hemingway, great to see you tonight. now onto a book that is actually revealing a lot that you do need to know. the washingtothe "washington ex" columnist byron york, how investors came to realize the person driving the event wasn't that so-called whistle-blower but none other than colonel alexander vindman. byron york, fox news

contributor, author of the new book, soon to be a massive best seller "obsession: inside the washington establishments never ending war on trump," he joins me now. >> hi, laura. >> laura: congrats on the book, first of all. >> thanks. >> laura: what made them realize that vindman -- not the whistle-blower -- was driving it all? >> if you remember, early on in the ukraine matter, the democrats said they wanted the whistle-blower to testify, and then, they changed their mind come and they didn't want the whistle-blower to testify, and they began to shut off any republican attempts to find out who the whistle-blower was, so the question is, if the whistle-blower wasn't in the white house, how did he learn what was going on? and lieutenant colonel vindman was one of several people who would listen to the trump-zelensky phone call, but he was the only one who was disturbed by what took place, the only one who felt that there

was a problem there. so, when he was interviewed by the house -- remember, in those secret sessions that the intelligence committee, they said, well, who outside the white house did you tell about this phone call? and he said, i told. people. well, who are they? one of them was george kent, who was a state department official and specialized in ukraine, and okay, who was the other one? well, he was in the intelligence community, and at that point, adam schiff and other democrats interrupted, you cannot say, you cannot ask the other person you spoke to. and republican said, well, why can't we ask about that? and they said, because it would tend to identify the whistle-blower. so it didn't take a real rocket scientist to figure out that the source of this, the original source of this, was lieutenant colonel vindman. >> laura: i got to say, byron, you might remember yours truly got a lot of heat -- something just didn't wash about him, to me.

i found him extremely, you know, i just question his motivation. he was asked by ukraine, wasn't he asked to be defense minister at one point? >> he was. it didn't come out in the original hearings, but it did come out later, and he said it had been a joke, but he was asked three times, but you know, as far as your criticism is concerned, republicans had a very difficult time handling lieutenant colonel vindman because they felt like he was the origin of all of this, they wanted to dig deeper into that, but he was a delicate -- a decorated military officer, and they were afraid, frankly, for a -- >> laura: you can never -- we have to move on from him. you can never criticize anyone who has the metals on the chest, that is just a rule. byron, you also discussed president trump's reluctance to fire comey at the beginning of his presidency. why did he resist, initially? >> during the transition from a

number of people, rudy giuliani, chris christie, jeff sessions, all advised before to fire comey immediately upon taking office. giuliani told me every time we talked about comey, i said the guy is going to turn on you, there is something wrong with him. and chris christie said, he is a loose cannon, and if you keep him after you are inaugurated, he will be your loose cannon. why didn't trump fire him right then? and apparently he thought he could win comey over -- >> laura: ah. >> he long thought if he could talk to someone, he could bring them over to his side, and it did not work with jim comey. >> laura: he thought he could win over bob woodward, so also. switching topics to trump-russia collusion nonsense, what you unearthed that suggested mueller's team knew early that there was no russia collusion, that continued anyway. >> the trump team could see who mueller was interviewing, and in the very first weeks, remember, mueller was appointed in

may 2017, and the very first few weeks, mueller was going hard on a search for collusion. he was looking at people associated with george papadopoulos, with carter page. remember the incident at the republican convention, where they said that trump had changed the platform to make vladimir putin happy? he looked into that. he looked into the trump tower meetings. he just looked into everything, and what was happening was trump lawyers could see that mueller wasn't getting anywhere, and by the fall of 2017, certainly by the end of the year, they knew that collusion was a dry hole for mueller. he had not come up with what he was supposed to find. >> laura: unbelievable. byron, can't wait to read the entire book. congratulations. you actually did great reporting here. everyone needs to know what this president was up against and who was behind it. it's all in "obsession." byron, thanks so much. and coming up, antifa continues its reign of terror in portland. last night, they brutally beat a

agitation and violence, what has that black lives matter movement actually accomplished for black americans? well, not only has the recent unrest spurred a massive crime wave, they've actually reversed racial progress by forcing black police chiefs across the country to give up and resign. now, the first to go was seattle police chief carmen best. when she set up to the blm and antifa thugs, the city council voted to slash her salary and destroy the police force, and she subsequently stepped down. now rochester police chief was forced to resign after protests. his integrity meant too much to him. after our show last night, news broke that dallas police chief rene hall and in her notice after backlash from the left over her handling of violent protests earlier this summer. like seattle's carmen best, she too was the first black woman to lead her city's police force.

how exactly does toppling black leaders in the community help african-americans? you would think this would be the kind of thing blm would want to stop, but looking back at how their foot soldiers treated black cops during the riots, i think it all makes perfect sen sense. >> just because they're black doesn't mean they are par not pt of the problem. >> you are the shame of your family. >> [bleep]. >> laura: oh, my god, does that not nauseating you? as joe biden put so eloquently, if you aren't with him, you ain't black. this isn't about making life better for african-americans, this is about raw power and about tearing down black leaders who think for themselves and send a message that life will be miserable for you, and then you can be replaced with a

soros-officials who impose a radical agenda on the country city by city. and when it comes to that radical goal, certain black lives are apparently expendable to blm. here now is lara logan, host of "lara logan has no agenda" on fox nation. lara, what might removing positive minority role models, why might that be a part of what blm, antifa, and all these other radicals want, ultimately, to accomplish? >> it's not just part of what they want to accomplish, laura, it is one of the most critical parts, because all of these people get in the way of the narrative. the narrative is that the entire police force is racist and needs to be abolished. so, having a black female police chief just gets in the way of that propaganda, particularly, and it makes a mockery of it, and it exposes it for exactly what it is. as you said, it has nothing to do with racial justice or social

justice or anything else, but you have an entire rebellion that -- and a revolution, and their words -- that is based on a false premise. so what they want you to do is, why do they hide their faces? they don't want you to see who they truly are, so what they want to do is to make inroads based on the ideas of social justice, and the end, abolished all of it. they want to burn it to the ground. they say the american plantation has to go, right, everything you know, so that means abolishing the police, abolishing the borders, abolishing the prison system, abolishing i.c.e., this is all over their literature, and the people who stand up to them are a powerful symbol of what progress has been made in this country, those are the ones that have to go, they have to be targeted. >> laura: this is a scene, lara, from l.a. last night. check it out. beco [bleep]. [bleep]

>> stupid white [bleep]. >> [bleep] >> laura: sounds like lyrics from cardi b there. lara, why are they resorting to this? why is the language and the costumes, they all seem right out of central casting, why is that part of this for them? >> it's about intimidation, right, and it's about intimidation and fear. because even if you look at all of that and you think poorly of it, it also causes you to self censor, and to inhibit your own behavior, because nobody wants to be subjected to that, right? it's about fear. underneath all of it, it's about spreading fear and intimidating people, because the basic goal here is to remove donald trump from power, regardless of what happens in the election, and

then, with donald trump out of to move forward with a very radical agenda that involves physically destroying the way of life that this country has known since its inception. >> laura: one of the reasons they were able to nab at murderer and identify him, the police, is because they saw that tattoo on his arm, or hand, in portland, the pro-trump supporter brutally killed, and the murderer, they could identify that tattoo that helped them lead to his -- well, he obviously died. but earlier tonight, lara, there is breaking news that the city of portland passed an ordinance banning the police from using all facial recognition technology. the city commissioner, joy and hardisty, saying with these concerning reports of state surveillance of black lives matter activist and use of facial recognition technology and the aid of surveillance, it's especially important that m

using these technologies." they don't want them to end, do they? they don't >> their actions indicate theyd, right? they are flat out showing you exactly showing you in a hundred different ways. at the heart of the operational tactics, if you go of their literature and social media sites as i do every single day, hours and hours of it, you will see one of the biggest things they are concerned about is facial recognition software. that is why the black lives matter where the full face mask, not just covering part of their faces, it's the whole face. when you see those umbrellas out on the streets, they hide illegal actions, and they hide their identities. they all wear black because even though it exposes them for who they are, and makes it harder for them to be distinguished

from each other -- >> laura: what are they hiding? >> this is a gift to antifa, they are hiding their identity and their agenda, and their criminal acts. >> laura: lara, again, thank you so much for shedding light on this. it is so important that people understand the tactics, the ultimate goals, and yes, who is supporting them and facilitating this lawlessness and chaos. thanks so much. and coming up, the joe biden that the media refused to show you, and the oscars have some new best picture requirements. raymond arroyo has them all in "seen and unseen," next.

♪ >> laura: it's time for our "seen and unseen" segment, where we reveal the stories behind the headlines. joining us with all of the details, raymond arroyo, fox news contributor, author of the forthcoming book "the spider who saved christmas." raymond, this was biden's event in michigan today. for a moment, i thought he was launching a new ominous josie

car chain, by the look of it what was that? >> the most consistent thing in the speech was his cough, he never stopped. >> you hear about this -- [coughing] >> he needs to buy an american lozenge, apparently. there was an obvious enthusiasm gap, we've seen this throughout the campaign, and there is an er candidate. the media show this with no context. this was joe biden's labor day event with union leaders in lancaster, pennsylvania, all four of them. the grass was nearly as dead as we have our meet up, and i'm still trying to figure out why they are social distancing from the patio table, was it covid positive? biden informally chatted with these leaders, or read to them. >> one of the things that,

frank, is that, have -- how have unions helped people get through this pandemic? you know, what would be a big investment in infrastructure -- tell me what you hear from your old colleagues that is most bothering them right now. >> well, you know, i don't get to talk to many of them anymore. >> now you see why he sticks to the teleprompter speeches, lau laura. for any other candidate, this would be curtains, the end of the run. and people are worried about the bob woodward quote? at least trump and his audience can be understood. [chanting "we love you"] >> laura: yeah, saying "we love you" to the president. cnn did a puff piece on biden.

when no one shows the clips you get together, raymond, by the way, no one. this was their main take away. >> empathy is joe biden's superpower, and he applies it to everything. >> now, i heard that, laura, but when left to his own devices, biden is to empathy what cardi b is to modesty. here he is interacting empathetically with workers. >> i tell you what, you know, you iron workers are all nuts, anyway. you got to be crazy. but then again, it helps, it helps. >> [bleep]. >> laura, the narrative of empathy is totally blown when you see those clips when he is off script. i always say it is the vivacity, it is the vigor of a candidate that wins the day. when you look at biden unscripted, hard to see how this campaign makes it to the end. >> laura: raymond, okay, at one point, i think he fell

asleep talking, okay? >> he did. >> laura: he seems so bored by his own question. like, "i can't believe somebody wrote this, what do you think," and the guy is like, "i haven't really talked to them lately." >> visiting that the old folks home. >> laura: with a campaign we haven't been covering pop culture as much, but yesterday the academy of motion pictures arts and sciences unveiled their new eligibility requirements for the oscars. what are they? >> well, they representation and inclusion standards, a film has to qualify for at least two of these: on-screen representation in a main story line, members of the creative team part of a group, internships and trading opportunities for these racial groups, and developing audiences among underrepresented groups. >> laura: what? >> the problem is the two leader

goals, training and developing audiences, the studios are going to use that to get around what amounts to racial quotas, okay? i like more representation, i love more stories, but i worry about these quotas big time. >> laura: shouldn't it just be about great art, which includes all people? i mean, they are going to kill their own medium. i don't understand this. the great art by african-americans and other people, i mean, it's going to be everybody because that is our country. >> think of it, under these guidelines, the godfather, "braveheart," "schindler schindler's list," that would nt qualify. that should give academy members of soul-searching. as a sign of what i think we are going to see of more in the future, watch what happens "golden girls," i will share it on friday -- >> laura: "the golden girls," a remake. all right raymond, we are out of time. up ahead, a lot about the courts, coming up.

bottom line is, mom's love that land o' frost premium sliced meats have no by-products.

(his voice) "baloney!" (automated voice) has joined the call. (voice from phone) hey, baloney here. i thought this was a no by-products call? land o' frost premium. fresh look. same great taste.

♪ >> laura: "e! news" that will actually matter to most americans, and also to law geeks, earlier today, president trump added 20 more names to a list of potential supreme court nominees, including on the list are former solicitor general, sitting justice, current republican senators tom cotton and ted cruz.

he also added the name of a rising g.o.p. star who we featured on this show, daniel cameron. the attorney general of kentucky. now, that 20-person list is comprised of 11 women and/or minorities. here to tell us why these names were added is jay sekulow, counsel to president trump. jay, i just mention some of the people on that list, but there are a lot of others i want to take through, like kate todd, she is an interesting choice. she works in the white house counsel's office. then we have chris landau, who is the u.s. ambassador to mexico, everyone should know, clerked for justice thomas and justice scalia and as a friend of yours truly. he's brilliant. the list is impressive. >> it is an impressive list, and the idea is to have a variety of backgrounds. not everybody that rises to the supreme court necessarily has to rise from the court of appeals. elena kagan is a perfect example of that. but there are former solicitor general's on the president list.

elena kagan with a harvard law dean. and also, a solicitor general under president clinton -- our president obama. so, the idea to have a variety, i think with the president is trying to do, broad-based, but conservative in their judicial philosophy, understanding the rule of law, separation of powers, the issues that matter, that is the constitutional ones, that is with the supreme court -- you know better than anybody, they only hear about 85-90 cases a year, but those 90 cases affect just about everyone. >> laura: also sarah pitlick, district court just know my judge in the eastern district of missouri. another woman, it would be a young nominee. anyone saying this isn't a diverse list is lying, number one. number to come of course, chuck schumer responded in the typical way, saying these radical nominees, jay, would continue the effort to reverse important progress america has made over the last 50 years, women's reproductive freedom, strip away health care, got

labor, environmental and civil rights. jay, you already see the line of attack. what can we expect? >> i say great. if your challenge is that these judges, potential justices of the supreme court, are going to protect religious liberty, protect the first and second amendments, protect the concept, the constitutional design of separation of powers, if that is the charge against them, well, great, that is exactly who we want on the bench. joe biden, you don't have to produce his list, because i'll tell you who's his list. turn onto a couple of the other networks and look at the legal commentators. that's his list. that's who he's going to go to. it would be a radically different court. i think the one thing we have to stay here, and i think it's important for people to understand is, this is an add-on of the additional names, to an already very impressive bench of judges, lawyers, but the idea, for instance, you mentioned a judge that serves in the district court, wouldn't that be a bit refreshing, to have a judge --

>> laura: yes. >> tried cases as a sitting judge, so understand how evidence really works, criminal procedure, civil procedure? all of those experiences, including the nonjudges, bring something that is important to the supreme court, and that means it is important for the american people. great picks here. >> laura: everyone should just him remember this is an important issue for conservatives, 2016 exit polls, 21% said appointments to the court with the most important issue, those voters broke for trump, 56-41 coming out of pro-lifers, no doubt about i it. does he think it's important, this time around, with the pandemic and economic issues facing the country? >> i'm not going to trump with the president things is the most important, because he has all of the issues for the present are important, but when you take to the courts, god willing we are getting through the pandemic, we will get through the pandemic, the supreme court justices are going to be here for 30, 40

years. the pandemic, prayer-fullly, will not be. and the lasting impact of these justices, including the impact these judges are having on issues involving the pandemic, like religious freedom, where i think the court has gotten it wrong on a number of cases. i think all of those are real issues that impact real people. i'm not going to rant what is most important to the president right now, but obviously it is t to do an address today and release this list. >> laura: all right, it's an incredible list, period. i know they have been working on it for some time. jay, great to see you tonight. thank you so much. >> thanks, laura. >> laura: there was actually a biting moment from today that raymond missed. "the last bite" reveals that. stay right there.

picked >> laura: we assume we'ld see see all the best abide in moments but somehow this one slipped to the cracks. >> we'll be back stronger than we were before.

i want to thank you all, i want to carry with me, i gave it to my staff -- but i carry with me in my pocket, do i have it around? where's my staff? >> laura: oh come on come out like a patient calling out for his nurses. that's all the time we had tonight, shannon bream and the "fox news @ night" team take it from here. >> shannon: busy news day, thank you very much. we start with breaking news tonight, secretary of state mike pompeo joins us exclusively in minutes, with just 55 days to go until the presidential election, the president pushing ahead with another campaign promise to bring more american troops home. the secretary pompeo responds to critics who call the move an election year stunt. also breaking tonight, the media playing defense after another expose about president trump, journalist
