ybody. >> laura: all right. >> sean: how are you? >> laura: i'm great and i'll be speaking shortly before the president tomorrow morning so tune in. welcome to the "the ingraham angle" from washington i'm laura ingraham stay here. the son of the president, eric trump is here to discuss the big stories making headlines including calls to investigate the obama administration and the push for new gun control. plus, a stunning new revelation on the florida shooting. an armed deputy quickly arrived on the scene but refused to confront the person. that's helpful and how an alert security officer may have prevented yet another school shooting. and john bolton tells us why china is getting even more bold and dangerous on the world stage. but first, to woo trump and win the 2018 midterm they demonize the nra. that's the focus of tonight's angle. last night at a cnn town hall, marco rubio walked into the lion's den with a fillet mingnon in his traffic. >> it's hard to look at now and not look down the barrel of an ar-15 can you tell me you wil

>> laura: nice. some of the exchanges, i imagine the sheriff wouldn't like it if his officers were spoken to in that tone. he then revealed himself. >> we do need to have some gun-control reform. 18-year-olds should never have a rifle and 18-year-old should not have a rifle. 18-year-old kid -- they are not adults yet. they are in high school. these kids should not have a rifle. >> laura: you hear what he said? kids. they are still in high school. they are going through a lot. it's something called growing u up. sheriff israel made unwittingly one of the salient points here. why on earth should teenagers dictate policy on gun control? or anything else for that matter? without diminishing their pain or sadness or the right to express their opinion about the slaughter of their fellow classmates, why should their political policy views -- where talking 14, 15, 16-year-old kids be given special consideration? when they're not insulting congressman or senators, they are advising them on gun policy. >> you

laura is next. laura, take it away. "the ingra" it is great to be back in d.c., although new orleans was fun. we have so many good stories to cover. we will be on them. new information that the obama doj might have overruled the fbi when they reportedly told congress that michael flynn did not lie under oath. and cnn has a crush on the sister of the north korean dictator, isn't that nice? and they're not alone. we are going to analyze why this is happening. but first, democrats thinking on it the need to trump angle. that is the focus of tonight's angle. the past few days have convinced me more than ever that the democrats and their american media are feverishly attempting to use the hashtag #metoo 4s undoing. now that they have extracted this and the budget bill, they have essentially given up on the idea of working with the republicans to actually improve the country and solve some problems. nancy pelosi, schumer, have come to the conclusion that that's the only way to beat trump is to avoid it debates on his policies

have a great show. >> laura: i'm laura ingraham we have never jam-packed show for you tonight with news you are not going to get anywhere else. joe, kim central are both here to discuss this second explosive memo this time from two g.o.p. senators who reveal more about this ongoing drama in d.c. plus. plus he has become the democrats' favorite public enemy number one. house intel committee chairman devin nunes joins us to smash back at the critics, discuss that next big memo drop, and the punking of adam schiff. but, first, trump calls the senate's bluff on immigration and stansd stands up for the victims who are the real victims. that's the foe consultation of tonight's angle. have you heard the media off anfawn all over capitol hill's latest immigration plan? it's being billed as a bipartisan approach which is a complete joke since its sponsors are amnesty zealot john mccain of arizona and liberal delaware senator chris coons. this bill is basically a rerun of the failed gang of 8 fiasco that flopped out in 2013. remember that legislation was so unpopular that even its original sponso
