>> we are out of time, thank you, mike, baker, tim, tyrus. >> laura: everyone, i'm laurat. ingraham, john eastman says hisa client will never plead guilty e in the january 6th case. tonight he is here to tell ushe why. butre first, the realirst election meddlers, that's the focus of tonight's angle.>> >> this indictment it is cringy. msel>> i can't tell you how facially.

>> he has extravagantly d the statutes in order to try to capture this behavior. >> for me the word farcical,al ridiculous, abusive, those wordd came to mind, after going over the document for the second time earlier today i realize it's fas worse than any of that. what jack smith and his boss merrick garland are doing not justar to trump, but to the nation going forward is devastating. now the doj, the whiteho house, everyre member of congressss knows the truth. the rag tag group of maga supporters, they had no meaningful effect on the democratic process on that day, only propagandists can call it an insurrection, donald trump left office on january 20th. the real conspiracy wristsor working toki deprive people of their rights are found at the department of justice, includina news anchors, reporters around

pundits across the regime media. i think the sum total of their knowledge about law and history seems to be whatever theye remember from thlye broadway h musical " "hamilton."hing >> george washington left the white house, left the presidenci after two terms, that was thehe plan, the model, so it's about more than donald trump.>> >> george washington teaching him how to say goodbye, johno adams lost and taught everybodyo when you lose, you go quietly, really fundamental question. >> laura: glad she liked the play. not wanting to leave politics apparently is the basia for a federal crime. are youcr listening toim these people? hi anyone told nancy pelosi and dick durbin about this? is the bottom line, trump was charged with two counts of conspiracy for adopting and pressing an

unconventional an couldn't very hall legal view that the electors in this presidentialplc race could be replaced with new electors. well the indictment according to that analysis is ah complete sham. if this is how low the bar is set going forward, then smith and garlands and every prosecutor whoec pushd this fraud of a case should all expect to face similar treatment to what they are putting trump through. and this indictment, the drama queens in smith's o office claim that trump was determined to remain in power is conspiracies thapit targeted act bedrock function oiof the united states federal government, the p nation'sro process of collectini counting andng certifying the results of the presidential election. now again, by thisme same logic, an aggressivean republican lawyer could argue that the biden prosecutors themselves are the ones currently conspiring to target bedrock function of the u.s. government. in this case, the 2024 presidential election. i

have another question here, why y did it take jack smith's offie two years or so to file this i indictment? well, we all know w why, don't we? it's a political weapon that is most effectively used as the 2024 campaign is just heating up. but hell will have no fury like a republicante controlled doj after this fiasco, i am telling you that. journalist whose know better they are so overcome with tld, trum dp loathing disorder, that they don't even notice the ironn and the double standards staring them in the face.e >> in this conspiracy, this f conspiracies one was to defraud the united states any the ability for the electoralsyt system to count these votes. the conspiracy to impede theunct ceremonial function of congress to certify the vote. and then of course to -- the conspiracy to

deny the right of americans to have their votes be counted. >> laura: does he not hear the words coming out of his own mouth? relentless and baselessm persecution of trump, using will legal theories, gar land and smith, they are the ones seeking to deny voters of their right t vote for the candidate of theirc choosing, in thiass case, donalt trump. and for that matter whyd shouldn't president biden and pals face the same fate after he leaves office, we are applying e their standard, the jack smith standard of federal criminal prosecution, apply that here ant one could argue that joe's liesn not knowing hunter's foreign clients and the doj slow walkins the hunter biden investigation, both of those things alter theic democratic process. how you might ask? by depriving votersa of material facts that theyed needed before the election. i an

telling you, prep tee of possibilities for unindicted coconspirators there. you see la where this is all going to lead, right? a never ending carouselo of prosecutions by one party in power against the party out of power. talk about corrosive,am america startser looking likepai pakistan or, i don't know, venezuela. >> from time to time america faces threats from monsters who want to destroy our democracy. pearl harbor, 1941, 9/11, 2001.t donald trump like those other threats to american democracy,ro tried to destroy our system.>> >> r rule of law is powerful. it can prevail, it can preserve democracy if this trial is allowed to reach a firm conclusion. >> this will be a vindication of the constitution, democracy and i think also a fact-based government. >> laura: once again, biden's

henchmen aren't defenders of democracy, they are offenders of democracy. the doj's goal here r is very clear, you get in our way, you threaten to root out dc corruption and we'll do whatever it takes to destroy you by using the full force of the federal law enforcement against you. and if that requires twistingg precedent or dispensing with real evidence of intent or applying rarely used interpretations of statutes, soe be it. and we'll bring that case before a liberal judge in amo democrat district and thcre fix will be in. and all the while the country becomes further divided and more disgusted. andt the rest of the worl od startsth thinking that ouinr democracy ia joke. and autocrats say, see, we told you so. follow us because america's done. now whatever yos think about the reasoning of trump's legal team back before

bajanuary 6th regarding the seating of the electors, the certification of the vote, itcet doesn't matter because we don'tr live in a country where disagreements of a politics or the law land you before a federal grand jury or bankrupt you. or at least i didn't thinka we lived in that type of a country until yesterday. thanks, jack. and that's the angle. joining me now is mike davis founder and president of the 3 project. mike, i'm watching larry tribe in our angle. larry tribe who is basically the inventor of the novel -- you, know, controversial legal theorh that gets shot down left and right and now that's apparently a federal crime. >> yeah, i mean, i didn't realize that objecting to elections was a felony in the i united states of america at least it wasn't in 1968, 2000, 2004, 2016 when democrats

objected. >> laura: or stacey abrams. >> unreal what merrick garland and jack smith are doing here, they are leading america to a very very dangerous place. >> laura: it was easy yesterday to kind of well, this is justda ridiculous and throw up your hands, this is typical. but the more i thought ohaf it, when ith really played it out in my end moo, you know, 10, 15 years fro0 now, this puts us on a collisior course with the real rule of laq and equal application of justice, the principles that really are the bedrock of ourpe country. tha >> laura, i hope people will play your monolog today, you hitey on the key points. for me as a criminal and civil rights lawyem for a long time, criminal rights lawyer and civil rights lawyer a for a long time. i do voting rights acts and ballot access work. she shelby county versus holder, and to try to get befort

dc jury and for political reasons and no other reason. how dare they criminalize as you say disagreements over election practices. the election laws ini this country are in array for a number of reasons. one of the most election law experts in thr country said over and over again the electoral count act is impossible to understand and anyone who believes they really understand what the viceside president's role was withre respect to electoral count actn doesn't know what they areout. talking about. you can be sure and a defense to this case will be, president trump believed ans believes in his heart and soullt that the election was stolen and from him and from the 75,000,00p people or more who voted form. him, and he had an obligation tt stand up for it. you can also sr believe for sure that he was advised every step of the way by people he understood to bet of experts that is at the heart trying to criminalize something like this. that's all i have to

say about that. >> laura: conflicting legal opinions, because that never happens in washington where one side will one thing and the other side argues another thing. cnn thinks they can nullify trump's rights with the need tot root out corruption, watch thisa >> he is trying to corrupt thenf institutions of government. he tried to do that through tryings to corrupt the institution ofge the justice department, try to get the justice department to take official action, try to get state legislators to take actual action and try to use the authority of the institution of the vice president of the united states. >> laura: mike, what's the reasoning? what's the legal precedent for the "corruption"eo argument. >> thauptit is a very good ques, lawyer la. jack smith is sent in to take out republicanor candidates, he was overturned unanimously by the supreme

court, it would have been denieh nothing, it is hard to get a criminal conviction overturned,d he did it unanimously, that'sis where this is heading again, thh supreme court probably will nott take this case before the 2024 presidential election. >> laura: david, mike pence who. is key to the prosecution here, he chimed in today on this indictment, watch. >> i can't assess whether or not the government has the evidence to prove beyond a reasonable doubt what they assert ilen the indictment. i want people to know that i had no right toov overturn theer election. sadly e president was surrounded by aac group of crackkp pot lawyers tht kept telling him what his itching ears wanted to hear, our country is more important than any one man.r >> laura: your reaction to thatc >> mike pence made clear hewa doesn't believe there was a criminal act committed either.mt that is the fundamental heart of

this, we charged a criminall offenses, that's an abuse of the system, that's not how we operate. when laws are in disarray like we are, can't notice what would be criminal conduct in this case. again,y people may disagree with his methodology but he tried to go through what's clear is he triee to go through the legal mechanism he understood appliedn you can be sure donald trumpyo didn't come up with the ideaum about the obligations of electors and whether there beo n alternative electors, 29 states plus the district of columbia bind their electors to the popular vote, other states, come on. >> laura: yeah i think -- i am not a pence bashed the trumper over the indictment ti think wt he was saying was i don't know about intent but i was right ont the constitutional matter. well, that's fine. he might think he't right. trump might think he's r right. butig that's not a crime so, i think mike pence's commene

helps trump oddly in this, do you agree with me on that? >>woul i do agree. i would say , any republican competition who thinks what merrick garland and jack smith iied,s justified disqualified themselves.s no >> laura: he might not make the debate stable. mike and david thank you both. attorney john eastman is largely thought to be the coconspirators and attempt to have him disbarred,pt his lawyer is heroics to tell us -- is here to tell us next why his client should plead not guilty.

♪ ow! whoa! watch where you're going. yeah mom, pay attention. what if it's a concussion? hang on, i'll look it up. uh... i'm probably fine... probably? we noticed something wasn't right and got her to a doctor. i thought i was okay, but i had a concussion. sometimes, it's hard to tell on your own.

don't mess with your melon. if you hit it, get it checked.

goli, taste your goals. we moved out of the city so our little sophie could appreciate nature. but then he got us t-mobile home internet. i was just trying to improve our signal, so some of the trees had to go. i might've taken it a step too far. (chainsaw revs) (tree crashes) (chainsaw continues) (daughter screams)

let's pretend for a second that you didn't let down your entire family. what would that reality look like? well i guess i would've gotten us xfinity... and we'd have a better view. do you need mulch? what, we have a ton of mulch. >> john eastman in the last week suggested he was doing creative lawyering in giving this advice to the president. >> the defense is going to be, i was given advice and i think his lawyer rivered to john eastman as an eminent legal scholar. >> the president is not a lawyer, i am not sure if that is rudy giuliani. >> laura: the media can mock john eastman's legal theory, is it evidence of criminality? eastman made an argument i

wouldn't have made but one ie ti disagree with at the time, and's disagree with now. but it is not a criminal act to have a novel's legal theory of something, even if e it's something like the electors and the constitution. advice given from an attorney used to be sancrosank. he belies eastman is one of the coconspirators in the latest trump indictment but he will t never plead guilty to this, anything related to this we aree going to take this to trial. jojoining me is harvey, good ton see you tonight, what makes you. so confident in your case? >> well, because the eastman's advice was in the realm of good faith legal advice. it was certainly cutting edge. it was s creative. but you know, that's what good lawyers are supposedre to do. and eastman's advice was

perfectly within the realm of good faith legal advice. i don't have any doubt aboutny d it. i'm shire we can get experts to testify to that if necessary. if eastman is charged, he is going to trial. if he is convicted is he going to appeal. we will never ever make a deal. >> laura: i don't understand their argument is that he wasit facilitating a crime with the advice? and obviously theires interpretation of the statutes and the application of thestat statutes themselves are novel legal theory without real clear intent established. so, theinyi are guilty of the standard that they are applying to trump and eastman i guess and the others. >> there is a problem. >> laura: it's crazy. >> this whole thing has become so politicized that it's not even funny. and it is a blot on

the depa department of justice y view a. >> laura: the president is not allowed to rely, is he not a lawyer, trump, obviously, is he parentally going forward, a presidents aren'ret allowed to rely on one group of lawyers if they disagree with whatever the media or democrats think are the better group of lawyers. to me,o again, how is that a legal stan guard for criminality? it was a group of lawyers that disagreed each other. >>di what's happened all of this has become highly politicized. and this is the most politicized indictment that i can remember in my 50 plus years of being a criminal defense and civil liberties lawyer. and i think that the courts are not going to fall for it. if there is a --it 'salways possible every so often you can get a district court judge who will go along with any theory, but ultimately it is going to to be the appellate r

courts, we don't have any real t fear that eastman is going to be convicted in the end. it is going to be a long, painful, expensive process if they indict him, i hope they don't. by the way, next early next week, john burnham, who is tho ise chief counsel, he brought me into the case, i am a sending memorandum to the department of justiceng arguing, explaining in law why this is -- this would not be a proper indictment. so, we arebe giving away our defenses. but we are that confident in our case that we're willing to tell them what our arguments are in order to keep them from indicting himh >> laura: harvey, they arealso trying to disbar john eastman, offering a legal theory that the establishment doesn't like is now grounds -- again, i didn't happen to agree with his legal reasoning, but it's something you can argue and now that is a

ground -- ground for disbarmenty so you canou no longer practice law? >> let me tell you something y about the disbarment, what is being done in california isfo shameful and thern reason is th, and mind you, i want to tell yos i did not vote for donald trumpr this is not a partisan argument, i am sort of a libertarian liberal, that's my politics. but the bar association instead of waiting for the outcome of the court process is looking tour disbar and takt e away his abil to fund his own defense in the criminal case, do you see what e i'm saying? >> laura: yeah. that's a shameful political development in california. i mean, all around there are very few people with any -- you know, basking in any glory in this hope. when it's over somebody who is this passionate, a lot of reputations

are going down the sewer. >> laura: harvey, you didn' vote for trump, you are a civil libertarian and every civil libertarian across the country, should be out rained when you at can't fund your own defense and they are trying to remove yourto ability to work before the court case is even proceeded, for a lega l dispute. i know we have h you back, thanavk you for joinig us tonight. ght.>> he's got a defendant whos looking at probably six trials. >> is entirely realistic to have this case before the general election. >> hard to imagine voters coming to a judgment on who should be the next president if this trial has not happened.>> >> jack smith's team is in a race against the clock, no othes way to say it. lau >> laura: a race against the clock, huh. why might that be? if you're sitting insideid enpresident biden's wilmington, reelectiona headquarters. "new

york times" donald trump can win a rematch with joe biden. andtht that's not all in today's washington post we learned about a june meeting between biden ane obama where the former presidene warned biden how formidable t trump might be. the political fallout from all this, victorhas davis hanson, the hoover institution. victor, given alltt that, people might be forgiven when they see these actions byes biden's doj as -- i don't know, the newest insurance policyce against pa potential trump victory, that's what it looks like from this advantage point. >> yeah i think it is. the republicans have kind of in a dilemma, laura. i think thatt biden has -- has been guilty of impeachable offenses itself,e that has become a political act improvement. they have to decide it's advantageous politically or . it's not quite here

yet. then pressure on a special counsel. but given the record of lawrence walsh or patrick fitzgerald or walter mueller,an jack smith, i don't know if then want to outsource to someonea. appointed by thislu administrationte, that is a dilemma. you are right about mike pence, it is a death sentence to show any empathy with this miscarriage ofriag justice. then the other candidates, five or six of them, they've got to thread a needle because they are running against donald trump and out outraged be way they have been treated, thes understand what thtae democrats are trying to do, trying to gain empathy for them, tie him up,an bankrupt him, ruin him and hope he is the candidate. what can they do? i guess their only candidate a, b, c, d, e, is going to say i am free of legal encumbrance, to pay back these people what they did to donaldth trump. it's a very -- it's a

really awful. >> think about what's happened.r >> laura: it's a carousel of prosecutions, it will never endn when the republicans get the justice department, the republican president is in, there is going to be a lot of there who -- gore their oxes, i am not saying that to be right, you can see where this is going to go. >> no, they are going to say they are going after sub ordinance for lying, destructiod of evidence. how about e-mailswb and devices that hillaryfter distroyed. they are going aftert election denialism, 2004 election, how about staceyabou abrams, hillary saying that trump was not legitimate, how about the collusion hoax that tried to subvert an election,ma theyti can for every tit there s a tat, if they get in powerould democrats should understand that they are establishing standards or lack of standards that will

come back and boomerang against them. but in their crew russ and arrow against, we have a right to do this and wouldn't dare do what we are doing to them. >> laura: as long as they get rid of everything will be okay. victor, thank you. now fitch just downgraded the country's credit rating as in our country, why isn't anyone talking aboutvg this, glenn youngkin is here on this plus his request to makerlb voting the republican's weaponry in the next election, very smart, we'll stay there.

>> i think the american people >> whether or not this is a weaponized department of justice, trying to avert fromy bride in corruption or take out chtheir chief political opponen, the american people see through this. >> laura: and even: an axios is noticing writing that the indictment is over shadowing ari

string ongf not so great stories for president biden. now there is no denying the corruptionwirl scandal swirling around hunter biden and th e president himself, but that's not all. mere hours before the indictment was filed, we learned of an alarming rise in illegal border crossings inly the united states, and simultaneously another hit tthod the biden administration, the rating service fitch downgraded the u.s. credit rating citing the country's deteriorating fiscal position and political in stability. now the white house was quick to jump in to blame trump. joining us now onset,gove virginia governor glenn youngkin, this is your own linei of work, what could that portend of s things to come. >> what that says is the financial profile of the united states of america is under huge pressure. we know that and the american people know that. just ask them. just ask them. i mean,

every virginia an when they go to the grocery store it's a gut punch, it's a gut punch. what they've seen since thean beginng of the pandemic, the pandemic, is a 40% increase in the cost of groceries. every time they go to the gas pump it's a shock. >> laura: bidenomics is workingo we hear speech after speech,a fi media figure after media figure, why rent the american people feeling this, all this y good stuff happening. >> yeah,oo you can change theng words but you can't change thele way people feel when they go f t the grocerhey store, that's what virginia ans see every day, americans see every day, this is the issue. when you have credit ratings that are dropped, when you have 22-year high in interest rates when you have inflation that'se been run awa, even own economists told him this before he let loosesp unparalleled spending, it's hurt all americans. you see folks who can't make it work anymore. 60% of americans live paycheck to paycheck because they can't keen

up with the cost o'tf living ina america and i semee in virginia every day.e it >> laura: governor, i know you are leading the charge that we've been talking about earlyy etihaving, make it easier for to vote absentee or early in person ahead of the state's crucial off year election coming up in november. so, republicans can have great policies and great answers to this economic disaster we're in, but if we don't invest in getting ballotsp in people's hands and then returned like mark zuckerberg and all these other people knewt was important, what is it allu for? >> we havear ag huge election n virginia this year, it's virginia's. midterms, house and senate are all up, i have to hold the house, flip the senate, i need republicans to get in the game full he loo. secure your vote virginia.com to sign up for permanent absentee ballot list, make a plan to vote early. we. need everybody to vote. i am so

frustrated in watching electionr returns onet election day when e democrats show up with thousands of votes through absentee ballots, i inherited these rulea when i came in as governor, are we going to compete, show up down a thousand votes for a race, i am going to compete, we are signing upsurge vernans tos vote. >> laura: we are have beendog.a urging, think tanks out there,th what are grassrootsre organizations doing? do youw? know? >> they've gotten started ist think we are writing the play t bookhe in virginia. we are leveraging what brian kemp did in georgia, they did a great job. we are doing it in vir virginia, we are going to write the second edition to this earlk voting play book and hopefully it wile l be the play book for next year in 2024. >> laura: trump indictment, what is your sense. >> this two-tiered justice system on display is eroding

everyone's trust in our legal i system. the reality is, you arer treated one way and if you are a friend of the party in power, y then you are treated aoueate completely different way. ands r this is eroding everyone's faith, we can't trust our jessica at the system. >> laura: will you consider jumping in, would glenn yo youngkin. >> i am so humbled, let me be honest i'm so focused onrg virginia thiins year, we talked about it, we have huge electiono and we have a chance in 24hanc months to take a state that was completely blue, state wide led legislature and in 24 months turn it republican. and i thinkn we must get this. done, we have to hold our house, flip our senate and we can move forward with policies that, you know,gii laura, virginia was bottom third, we are top 5. back the blue, stood up for parents,. p

>> laura: sounds like a campaigs speech, governor. >> people are noticingech, whate are doing in virginia and why we get so much attention. >> laura: i am not ruling it out, we are going to hold our g house and flip ouroi senate andn show folks in 24 short months you can take a blue state that was lost and turn it red. >> laura: results, governor youngkin, thank you so much foru stopping by. >>or i look forward to being wih you frequently. >> laura: as trump is trump is indicted, biden goes onyo vacation. raymon hd arroyo has l that, seen and unseen is next.

goli, taste your goals. >> laura: it's time for seen, unseen segment, cultural stories of the day, fox news contributor raymond arroyo. trump was indicted, the white house was keeping biden out of sight. >> yeah, but the media could not have been more excited, laura, watch. >> the president is spending his evening with dinner and a movie. he just wrapped up dinner with the first lady at a local seafood restaurant now watching oppenheimer. >> and that's what the press pool asked him, how did you like oppenheimer. it's as if the

obamas returned to the white house, pictures of biden at dinner, even the moonlight stroll was covered. i wonder what the president was thinking. >> there is a -- you know, an elderly man and woman waiting to see if they have enough time. just grabbing their hand and walking across. it's a little tiny thing but it -- the anxiety it relieves. >> laura. they had to keep him out of sight, totally keep him out of sight as trump was indicted they wanted the whole hunter narrative to die down. now it's about oppenheimer and moonlight strolls. >> laura: i'm someone didn't throw a sand bag in front of him. that is a small walkway there. you about the at that give him a lot more light than that, raymond, a lot more light. >> they are holding his hand and secret service is close by. while dr. jill was posing for magazine covers, the president's sister, valarie biden-owens,

political news was asked if she thought megan markle might be presidential timber, watch this. >> it's wonderful to have women in politics. and we embrace all women and we welcome her to come in and join the democratic party. >> do you think she will make a good potential candidate one day maybe for president. >> yes, perhaps, of course she will. >> laura, yeah, she could do for the united states what she did for the royal family, this is one of the most loathed women in pop culture, now she is going to be president, i guess. >> laura: by the way, valarie biden looks like jane fonda, she looks like -- she looks like a combination of jane fonda and "judge judy." if you mix those two, that's valarie biden, that's all i can say. raymond, someone should tell her though that they already have democrat, female, under study of color and

it's not megan. >> yeah, don't worry, while joe is on vacation, kamala has been hitting the interview circuit, it has been hitting here. >> there are of course say you have the lowest approval rating of any vice president. i'm curious, how much of a role if any you feel race and gender play in that. >> polls also say i have great approval ratings. >> laura, that must be the harris poll. the kamala harris poll, every poll has her in the basement, i polled nbc 49%, they have a negative view of the vice president. 39% a very negative view. and the monmouth poll 53% approval, have you to work to get that low, there are no upsides to the poll numbers. >> laura: what does willie brown say. tell us about lizzo being sued by three of her backup dancers because america wants to know about this story, raymond. >> well, this is an important

story. remember when lizzo was casting dancers for her stage show, it became a reality program called watch out for the big girls. >> i'm looking for dancers to join me on my tour. girls that look like me don't get representation. we thick, we pretty,. >> it's hard to love yourself in a world that doesn't love you back. >> for you to enjoy. >> watch out for the big girls. >> well, laura, if you believe the allegations by lizzo's backup dancers they better watch out for one big girl in particular, one who was fat shaming them. >> i just had this feeling that they had a problem with the way i was gaining weight. she would pick and choose when she wanted to be professional and wanted things to be personal. she proceeded to say, you know, dancers get fired for gaining weight, you should basically be grateful to be here. >> you go from preaching about sisterhood to then turning around and saying that it's a privilege that you know us by

name. >> boy, this is actually a huge story. there is also part of the charge here, laura, is that lizzo coerced these women to go into sex clubs and. >> laura: what? >> interact with nude model, it's a wild allegation, we don't want to bring it up during the family hour. lizzo pushing body positivity and yet fat shaming her own dancers. this would be like lebron james shaming somebody for being too tall, lizzo is not exactly, you know, twiggy here. >> laura: i mean for "the five" people who know that reference in our audience, twiggy, kate moss can you come up with something different than twiggy, what is this, laugh-in. >> it's about dam time that lizzo come clean and apologize to these dancers but this is a

bad look. >> laura: we have to go. >> somebody who made their career on this. >> laura: democrats are puck likely attacking joe biden for being asleep at the wheel.

>> new york city cannot continue to carry the weight of a national problem on our own. yor >> we need to control the border. wena need to call the state of emergency and we need to properly fund this national crisis. we need help and it's not going to get any better. from this moment on is downhill. there is no more room. >> laura: well how desperate is it actually getting for the sanctuary city of new york. itfe may not -- it may end up telling city kids they need to play somewhere else, closing soccer fields to build a migrant mega shelter. also word today that
