were there at 5:30 in the morning. who gets held accountable for that? >> laura: we don't know who leaked the opinion and nobody's interested in finding that out. rachel tonight, sean and will pick up where you left off. on laura ingraham and this is "the ingraham angle" from washington tonight. the biden justice department is getting so desperate they've now gone nuclear. "the angle" will explain in moments. one fbi agent swept into mar-a-lago and monday, they were met by president trump's attorney. if she's in moments with response to merrick garland. but first, spin cycle crash, that's tonight's focus of tonight's "angle." can you imagine what president xi or putin or terrorists who wish to strike

against america? this is the america that they use to fear. to speak i personally approve the decision to seek a search warrant in this matter. faithful adherence to the rule of law is the bedrock principle of the justice department and of our democracy. upholding the rule of law means applying the law evenly, without fear, or favor. of under my watch, that's precisely what the justice department is doing. >> laura: doesn't he look like a guy who got a lot of wedgies in sixth grade? i'll be forever grateful for mitch mcconnell for keeping it off the court. he said a lot of nothing, changing no minds about the propriety of their raid and not a single one. what we witnessed in this week is a sham. it's a total embarrassment for america. putting trump on the vice of the current presidents fbi is what you would expect from russia's

fsb, not a proud constitutional republic. the signal to the world's unmistakable. our 246-year-old republics being pulled apart at the seams. dictators can now say look, we told you the entire democracy thing was a scam. turns out their president can try to put his political critics in jail like we do. our president who traditionally is known as a leader of the free world has become a laughingstock. so afraid of his political nemesis that let it be known to the doj goons that they needed to finish off trump politically for good. remember as we told you on monday, it was last week at biden's people use their stenographers at "the new york times" to password onto merrick garland. they reported biden privately complained that he wanted eric garland to act like a prosecutor when it came to trump on januar. message received. biden and the doj totally lost

control of the narrative. after the dramatic monday raid, they were positively shocked and stunned to see republicans closing ranks. the unprecedented heavy-handed tactics. a back-and-forth over documents and the president's team pad locking a storage room at the government's request. then they show up months later to rummage around for nine hours? respected figures in the g.o.p. rejected of the targeting type, everyone from the former vice president and the former director of the cia, marco rubio and chuck bradley. everyone including merrick garland and christopher wray know that this group is not necessarily a trump fan. for them to all speak out in unison is a disaster for the democrats. in a perpetual spin cycle, the

doj is apparently no -- the sketchy magistrate bruce run hard to release the search warrant and the property. we will see you what will happen when it comes out. but in the absence of actual fact, we have unverifiable claims popping out about mold inside mar-a-lago and earlier today reporting perhaps there was a secret service agent working on trump's detail. late tonight's, they knew doj on information look like they laundered their latest justification through "the washington post." fbi agents were scouring trumps residence in search of nuclear evidence, documents. it could be an email, whatever. it's an excuse they want to run with further rated to, how could they possibly justify a lighting hillary clinton off the hook when they were classified at the

highest level? i guess were supposed to believe that the established the possible cause necessary, like were supposed to believe that merrick garland had and approve the rate at all and they tried to spin that. that's the lie they spread last night and try to keep up with me here. sorry, gentlemen, but given your history with president trump and the american people, you're going to have to do better than just trust us, we believe in the rule of law. the fact our cia and fbi, doj lost most of the credibility, it's not fox news. not the fault of trauma, his supporters, they didn't create merrick garland's problem or enter mckay's problem. they brought this on themselves. no matter what garland or they may say, it's not normal to

weaponize the entire power of the federal government against one individual. this case, trying to find any technical charge they can to bring against president trump. four months before he'll likely announce another white house run, how convenient. how with the democrats react with the next republican president holding the same tactics with kamala harris' life? we know the answer, they cry foul and they claim that the president and the doj was subverting democracy. the standard going forward has to be that administrations will only pursue legally their opponents when it's a really big deal, no dragnet's, expeditions, pretextual searches. some or all of this may have happened here. the chance of locker outcome out, remember that during the

trump rallies in 2016? they wear that, they were a chance chance designed to mock hillary and the sycophantic press that covered for her. the trumpet millions of the supporters were furious they seem to use her office to advance her husband's foundation. even when they believed all that, trump after he was elected sent fbi agents to her house? of course not. because his focus was on making our country better, more prosperous. but now we have an administration that has decided to go to war against all of us. they have unlimited government resources at their disposal and they are deploying them against trump, and there about the higher 87,000 new irs agents to deploy against anyone who questions them. i have news for them. the constitution gets to say who runs for president, not merrick garland.

hunting trump will only hurt them. at a time when our families are facing such daunting challenges just makes me want to burst out in tears. where is biden's focus and passion? he's not fixing any of this. if it's about grabbing as much power from the regular people that he can. do they care that the wages aren't keeping up with inflation? not even close? it means our people are getting poorer every weekend every month? no, they don't care about that. they just spin fairy tales. >> zero inflation last month, but people were still hurting. >> the last month, our economy has 0% inflation! in july, we saw a drop in gas prices and a range of other goods like clothing and airfares and household appliances which means more money in the pockets

of working families! >> our goal is to have the economy transition. am laura: spin crash. ans don't trust the government because they are bad people. we don't trust the government because they are not proving worthy of our trust. stop treating americans from the other party with suspicion, stop pretending you believe in borders and start enforcing them. stop lying about the true state of the economy, you just heard it. in fact, wish casting about what's happening in ukraine, stop lying about the innate character of america, or system is not racist, you are. finally, announce publicly you're dropping all of the legal harassment of president trump. then president biden, go before the cameras and tell our country any disputes between you and trump are going to be decided by the voters. 2024.

that's "the angle." joining me now president trump's personal attorney, christina, thank you for being with us tonight. your reaction -- absolutely, your reaction about the breaking news tonight about the suppose it nuclear documents that may have been at mar-a-lago and where the cause for concern and for the urgency of this search warrant in "the washington post" tonight. >> you nailed it in your opening monologue. if they have no good reason for doing what they did come out the pathetic press that merrick garland held for 3 minutes was insufficient so they had to create fear. normally they'll come up with exactly what happened and why and explain themselves and if it was a good reason, they would have solid ground. they are not on solid ground so they had to come up with something that would potentially terrify the american public into

freely giving up their constitutional freedom. we are on the verge of nuclear war of giving up nuclear codes and maybe it's acceptable that they violated the president's constitutional rights. it's not acceptable and they're trying to come up with reasons to make it sound appropriate and make it sound okay because they do not actually have a good reason for doing what they did. >> laura: just so i'm clear about this, i want to be clear, is it your understanding that there were not documents related to our nuclear capabilities or nuclear issues that had national security implications and the president's possession when the agents showed up at mar-a-lago? >> that's correct, i don't think they were -- >> laura: do know for a fact? or have you spoken to the president about it? >> i have not specifically spoken to the president about what nuclear materials may or may not have been in there i don't believe there were any in they are. they did a thorough search and

we've been very cooperative with the biden administration and the doj and turned over everything we found that we had. it's my understanding and very good belief based on a thorough investigation that there was nothing there. >> laura: christina, when you were there and the agents arrived, did you have -- ask what can i accompany you on this grandeur and mar-a-lago? they said no, like how did that play out? >> i did, and i actually believe i could've just followed them because it seems like their appropriate thing to do so i started to follow them and was told i wasn't allowed to. on the president's attorney on sites and i know i should've the opportunity to observe your search. they basically said no and i tried to push a little bit but i'm not going to push too hard against the fbi. i backed off. at no point during the raid today let me follow them or accompany them throughout the property. >> laura: christina, the

president has been given until 3:00 p.m. tomorrow to decide whether he wants that warrant unveiled. what will you tell us about the decision-making process and of course the left is saying if you want to be transparent. >> my responses president trump is going to do it when he's going and ready to do it. he owns this country an explanation, and the biden administration that took an egregious step to violate constitutional rights of a president of the united states and invade his personal residence. now they want to try to shirk the responsibility by saying why doesn't he release it? no, they owe us an explanation and they can't get out of it that quickly. i'm sure president trump will make his decision and based his decision on what he believes is best for the country and what will bring us together and unite us. i'm sure that's a driving factor

for his decision. >> laura: the scuttlebutt because it always changes. yesterday merrick garland knew nothing about the raid and that was hilarious. today they sent him out to say that trump does in everybody's being mean. now there's a secret service agent perhaps that's the one that saw the nuclear whatever material and he or she is the one that's helping establish that probable cause for the warrants. what can you tell us tonight about the secret service detail that was assigned to president trump and concern that that may have been what got this going? >> i don't believe it for a second. i think the secret service has a lot of professionalism and i don't believe for a moment that the problem with this is on president trump or anyone in his circle. i think it's a story that the leftist media wants to try to paint the picture that somehow there is division within the trump -- there's not. to think there's an informant or

some other type of division that's causing this, i will believe it when i see it and i'll reserve the judgment. but i think squarely it falls on the shoulders of the biden administration and i want to see what they've got and i don't think they have enough for further action. >> laura: they are certainly changing their story quite a bit like a 72 hour period. when they were in mar-a-lago, now, you know i know the layout of mar-a-lago-the mar-a-lago. did they focus their search in the president's private quarters? it's a big club, there's a lot of space, or did they go all over the entire club? that's a lot of rooms and that's a lot of ground to cover and they had 30 agents or so i know. >> they were told me they are specifically looking at three areas, at the presidential office, the residence, the private family residence, and then the storage units that we heard so much about in the bottom floor.

i believe the search was contained to those three areas and i have no reason to believe they went anywhere else, but because i didn't accompany them, i can't say for certain. i don't think they went anywhere else. >> laura: i wanted play a moment from the attorney general today, watch. >> the apartment does not take such decision likely. it's standard practice to seek less intrusive means as an alternative to the search and any scope that is undertaken. >> laura: is there any reason then legally why he can't tell us -- white research became necessary >> that's a really nice sound bites and i think that's how they are campaigning and running the administration because we were cooperating with them, i was there when they came in june. president trump himself met with them briefly and said hello, is there anything you need and pointed to the attorneys and anything you need and make sure

they do it. we've been cooperating to the fullest extent and from that meeting in june, the next thing i heard was monday where they said you've got to get down to mar-a-lago, their rating the place. i thought that's odd because we had just said if you need anything else, let us know. i don't believe his statements and it sounds very nice and a good principle we should live by but they don't. >> laura: much was made about the safe, the safe cracker and so forth. do we know was there anything in the safe and much to do about nothing? what do we know about it? >> i love the story because i actually couldn't accompany them so i couldn't see what they were opening. we know about the stories because of the cctv and the cameras were on. those in new york watching where aware. i have to take their word for it and none of the president put the story out so i've got no reason to believe it didn't happen.

i was unable to witness it because i was pretty much relegated to the parking lot. >> laura: when you were speaking with the fbi agents at the time, where they cordial? you can get a sense of someone's kind of embarrassed that they have to do something more like thank you, moving on. >> initially, initially, it started out a little heated and i was upset and they were not excited to see me. we had a little but of an incident initially me wanting access to the warrant they didn't believe they needed to show me the warrants. we thought about that for a a little bit, a minute, no more than two. we had the opportunity to see it and after we worked through that, it was a long day. there is no point in keeping it heated for too long. if only for a couple minutes there was a little bit of tension and then it calms down for the most part and everything was fine. they wouldn't allow me inside anywhere so i had to stand in

the heat for eight hours or so, maybe nine hours and eventually they were kind and offered me water because i was out there. i would have appreciated the opportunity to wait and air conditioning. >> laura: did they give you the inventory list before they left or while they were doing the raid that they don't want to call a raid? >> writes, we have the inventory list as you can expect it's not particularly helpful. so, yes, i kind of have the inventory list and they gave me the official receipts, -- >> laura: are you going to give it to us tonight? we are happy to talk. >> i would love to love to. >> laura: we really appreciate your joining us. you're a young lawyer and you were put in a -- one of the most historic and egregious abuses of federal authority that i've seen in my legal career in a long, long time. but we appreciate you joining us tonight answering these

questions. as we just mentioned, a source telling fox news that a secret service agent might have been the source of the leak. a former agent is here next on whether or not this could have been a plant if it's true. stay there. ♪ ♪

♪ ♪

>> laura: now as we mentioned a president trump's lawyer, this afternoon a law enforcement force told a source that the probable cause for the search warrant in mar-a-lago verily vey likely came from a secret service agent. doesn't that become a security issue? here's the former clinton secret service officer. gary, you heard christina, she was very skeptical of this claim but nevertheless we don't know. your reaction to the leak? >> i'm skeptical also. it's possible but it's pretty unlikely. the description of the suppose it secret service employee saw some material, you know, it's pretty unlikely it was generated that way. i think it is just the left

making up excuses to justify something that has never happened before. >> laura: i had a chance to meet a lot of the agents on the detail ever since he left the white house. i don't know their names, but they are the coolest people, they're so professional, so cordial. i was thinking today, now i'm thinking about this like you can see why you want to plant the seed and again we don't know what happened but you want to plant the seed to distract everybody from what a lot of people believe is the egregious nature of this raid to begin with. you start going down that rabbit hole and you don't know where you're going to end up. >> no, you're right and you brought up how professional secret service employees are at the agency offices and they always are. i will tell you my contact with the agents when president trump

was president and they like these people. they tried to treat them the best you can. the first class you learn as an officer is how do you deal with one another law enforcement agent shows up to serve a search warrant? it's different because in florida, the private residence of the former president but is handled the same and they make notifications, they have to let the fbi in their mama but they have a job to do. you saw in the photographs the two agents standing outside the open gate using a card to block the gate and they were armed with submachine guns. they are doing their job -- >> laura: but gary, a quick question and i'm sorry to interject. there is concern that if this is true, this was a recently installed agent in the defense.

not someone who's been with president trump for a long time and someone inserted into the detail. i can get into tinfoil hat land and i'm not interested in going there, but that's how little people trust this whole process with trump and that's where people are in their thinking. >> i understand that and here's the thing. it's hard to find anybody more critical of the secret service management style than me. but i will tell you the idea that the agent just popped in there, it doesn't work that way. i mean, certainly employee secret service agents coming go and get promoted. a lot of times former presidents details are the last stop before they retire a lot of times. the idea that this person popped in there out of nowhere is not possible. secret service knows who they are, they transferred them and is it possible that the

secret service agent is involved in this? i find it hard to believe, but again from what i've seen the last five years, nothing would stunned me. >> laura: anything's possible. we appreciate it and we've got to roll but great seeing you tonight, thank you so much. there's two very specific requirements for many of the 87,000 new irs agents. they need to be legally allowed to carry a firearm. second, wait, where did it go? did they just delete that second requirement? no, don't worry, we sought before they took it down and here's the other requirement. be willing to use deadly force if necessary. joining me now is kentucky congressman thomas massie of the judiciary committee. the biden administration's narrative is horrible and completely backfired on them this week but i get the sense that this is the beginning of what we will see with this agency being turned against the american people.

>> not just this agency, what a lot of people may not realize is last week, the democrats through the judiciary committee passed a ban on the ar-15. they call it a weapon of war, but they made sure they are ban exempted every federal department including the irs, the department of education, and the usda. you've got to put that into context that this week tomorrow we are going to be voting to add 87,000 irs agents to the role. then taken with the websites and like you showed, look, they got caught. they had this on the website and i looked at the internet archives. they put it up since biden became president that you must be willing to do deadly force. they took it down yesterday because they got caught recruiting that way. by the way, i talked to people who spent their life and law enforcement and they said

this is the last thing you would put in a job posting. if you get the wrong kind of people. if you want to kill people, join us! >> laura: the border patrol can't even use deadly force pretty much right? border patrol, no, but the irs, yes, that's a twisted world where living in. the new atf director sat down with cnn today and watch this. >> he sat down to discuss the litany of threats that agents are trying to counter from coast-to-coast including a rise in violent domestic extremism. >> the first thing you need to do is to be honest about the fact that we have a problem. i will tell you it's gotten more bold, more brazen, more violent. >> laura: your response to that? we have apparently massive domestic terrorism problems and they happen to be trump supporters, congressman. >> we asked the doj about this and the dhs actually put out a bulletin that said if you do

certain things like the vaccine you might be a violent domestic terrorist are you know, it's crazy. maybe you grow your own food and you'll be labeled as such. it's crazy what can put you on the list and i think it's dangerous. >> laura: time to defund the agencies targeting the american people and that's what will be expecting of congress and republicans taking over. you've been a beacon, thank you. coming up, we reveal a disturbing social media challenge inspiring young people to steal and then destroyed. a star rises over ukraine, not what you think, raymond arroyo has it. "seen and unseen." the next. usable musical

>> laura: time for our "seen and unseen" segment where we reveal the stories behind the headlines, fox news contributor raymond arroyo, i want to thank

him for our segment last night. let's start with the social media challenge causing an explosion in car theft across the country? what's? >> it's called the kia challenge where viewers are taught how to hotwire key is in hyundai's with only a usb charger appeared to a group calling themselves the key boys have been menacing milwaukee. it accounts for 66% of the car thefts up 2500% since last year. a blogger named tommy g interviewed those responsible and listen. >> do you get nervous before you do that? if you had to guess that average kia boy out there, 30, 50, two? >> two or three, some people don't know how to drive, they run through them and they crush them. 200, 300 car thefts.

you do three weeks, it's a misdemeanor. >> a misdemeanor. the average age of the thieves is 11 to 12 and it spread as far as st. petersburg, florida, arlington, texas, to cincinnati and it's a nationwide problem because of social media. >> laura: you know what i say, raymond's beard throw them in jail, lock them up, throw away the kia. >> you've got the d.a. in milwaukee that john chris home, he's the dye that led darrell brooks the guy who ran through the people and ran them over during the christmas parade killing five, let them out on bail for $1,000.02 days before he committed the crime. that guy has to prosecute these people. it's outrageous what's happening. >> laura: meanwhile, ukrainian

president volodymyr zelenskyy seems to be starting his own star search. you might call this war of the celebrity edition. >> you're my hero. >> not so brave as you. >> academy award winner jessica chastain has hit zelinski's red carpet >> you're incredibly brave and strong. >> all these stars drop by at costing us a lot of money. he wrote on social media of the visit for us such a visits of people are extremely valuable. this week in the u.s. government sending $5 billion to ukraine to

help cover the budgets, social welfare, i didn't realize ukraine had gone the 51st state. we can't cover the pensions here. >> laura: were focused on mar-a-lago, they are completely ripping us off. this money is going out the door and we have no idea where it's going. of course, this is all coming out of the $40 billion ukraine package that congress approved? >> buried in all of us, it's welfare for the defense contractors. it gets $9,000,000,000.03 what we've given away. ukraine buys new weapon systems all their own. the money never stops. everyone's focused on the rate of the former president's home and it's a convenient distraction from the current president who attended a victory lap this week for passing a

portion of a bill he couldn't get past earlier in the year. >> the most consequential thing congress can do to keep our progress and inflation from getting worse. keep representatives. i'm proud to name dr. monica -- let me get it right, doc. >> laura: okay, someone bring out the paddle. as if we need the paddles. come on. >> you see why they want trump front and center because they don't want anybody focused on this. biden has to be the most hidden president more than obama. he only shows up for the signing ceremonies and he'll say one or two things other than eating ice cream you don't see him.

he was hidden away for 13 days in quarantine and now on vacation. if you're going to create a show of confidence, this is probably not the way to do it. >> we know in the future, excuse me. securing the future. excuse me. good lord. biden always said he wanted to unite the country. i didn't realize that included giving everybody a covid variance. wash your hands. then he went out shaking hands of the majority. >> laura: how many times do we have to see -- how many times do we have to hear that anthony fauci tell us not to cough into our hands? we had to hear the cough into your elbow or whatever, how many times did we have to hear that? the president gets up there, he said it like he's got the

popcorn lung that you get from vaping. that was bad. they are telling us -- they are telling us we have to wrap. raymond, well, raymond, we're glad you made it off the flight finally. we appreciate that they flow you. they are yelling at me. all right, the angle told you about the goal of the americans to strip the country of anything that made us great in the first place. we've seen this play out in unexpected place. fargo, north dakota, the school board voted to stop saying the pledge of allegiance. the shocking justification for this and the man's fight against this. it will be back in a moment. ♪ ♪ promises of all shapes and sizes. each, with a time and a place they've been promised to be. a promise is everything to old dominion, because it means everything to you.

♪ ♪ >> in the republic for which it stands, one nation under god. indivisible, with liberty and justice for all. >> laura: you can't do that anymore if you're in a fargo, north dakota, school board meeting. they voted 7-2 in favor of ending the pledge of allegiance

before all meetings. according to the board's vice president, the pledge just isn't inclusive enough. >> the board reciting the pledge, i would say violates board policy. there's texts within the pledge of allegiance that simply not true. it's also indisputable fact and effect we hope we can agree on that not all u.s. citizens have liberty and justice, which is stated in the pledge making the line one nation with liberty and justice for all and untrue statement. >> laura: here with former fargo school board member, he spearheaded the move months ago to begin all meetings with the pledge. that guy tracy newman said that the members should recite a unifying shared statement of purpose. i guess they are saying bye-bye nationhood and america really doesn't matter anymore otherwise

known as fake post-americans. >> it was really disturbing. most of those board members were in april when i finally got a hold on it. i attempted to get it past the month before and i couldn't get a second out of the board. then they voted to move it to the governance committee and they finally put it on the agenda. i was able to get enough yes votes to pass it in the next one. now six months later they've taken it away. >> laura: well, david, who is objecting to it? is there a groundswell from the residence of fargo? you think fargo's kind of an all-american town, you know flags flying on the fourth of july, parades, this is like americana. but that individual seems ashamed of this country.

he frankly seems disgusted by the country. >> he really does. it's very disturbing because i have worked with seth for two years prior to this. he and i agreed on some issues. but he is so terribly adamantly opposed to this, it began with the under god statement because he said when the vote came up that he's a socialist and he does not believe in god and simply could not -- he didn't have to stand to show his patriotism. what i tried to point out to him is that the pledge isn't an oath to patriotism, it's an oath that's a confirmation of your loyalty to a greater cause and that's freedom. there is nowhere in the world where you have more freedom than you do in the united states of america. >> laura: what this concerns

people for good reason. if that dude sits for the pledge, he can do whatever it wants. but what does it mean for the schools and the fargo public school system? god knows what the kids are being taught about america that it's awful, rotten, racist undoubtedly. >> i'm afraid the next steps going to be to take the pledge of the schools because all of our schools say the same pledge of allegiance. i said that the first time and what spurred me to do this and i should have done it eight years ago when i first got on the board. of my 5-year-old grandson came home and recited the pledge perfectly because he heard it every day in his kindergarten classroom. >> laura: thank you for having the courage to stand up and will be following this individuals have to run for school boards. it's been a doggone long week. i'll tell you what. next. ♪ ♪
