Leaks, of course, coming from james comeys book. What we see now is if this is all they have, theyve got nothing. Its like petty and insignificant issues and its more like mean girls gossip than blockbuster. Will the next House Speaker be a trump conservative . Or another d. C. Insider swamp monster . Reince priebus gives his analysis in an exquisite of interview. Plus, we are going to get his first reactions to the big comey dud. Also Congress Holds an emergency hearing on illegal immigrant caravan coming to the United States. Coming here from mexico after shocking reports emerge. And the man who called the hearing, covers ben ron desantis, has stunning details. By the way, Michelle Malkin is going to stop by. Shes going to expose the dark forces trying to suppress free speech in our latest installment of defending the first. You do not want to miss this. We are going to name names. First, was the raid on trumps personal attorney just a proxy move by mueller in his fishing expedition . Thats the focus of tonights angle. Do you hear that drip, drip, drip sound . Those are the nonstop leaks coming from the offices of the u. S. Attorney for the Southern District of new york which on monday as we know executed the raid on the home, the work, and the temporary residence of trump lawyer michael cohen. From unnamed sources with knowledge of the investigation, we learned that the search focused on documents related to porn star Stormy Daniels and potential crimes may include bank and wire fraud along with Campaign Finance violation. Yesterday there were more leaks that investigators were scouring for information related to, and i kid you not, the access hollywood tape. And a new report today in the new yorker alleging possible payments to a trump tower doorman. And others during the campaign. Bottom line, right now, as things are, russian collusion seems to be a faint memory. After all the hype about that trump tower meeting with don jr. And the russian attorney, all after all of the hide the ball tactics the doj used to apply for the fisa warrant. You think about it. After all the speculation about trumps relationship with russia, mueller has come up with goose eggs. Now, team trump is properly worried that mueller is just using the Southern District of new york as a proxy to do their dirty work. In other words, have the new york agents vacuum up a whole bunch of stuff in cohens files on the president s personal business deals, arguably outside the scope of the special councils jurisdiction. And then shoot it back over to us if its helpful to our cause and going after the president. That way, mueller gets credit for initially going to Rod Rosenstein, Deputy Attorney general, with the information in the first place. What do you think we should do with this . But he gets none of the downside by being the guy who executes the search warrant against the president s personal attorney. Never happened in the history of the country before. Remember, last summer, President Trump said that the effort, any effort by the fed to look into his personal finances is mmmm. Looking at finances, your familys finances unrelated to russia, would it be a redline . I would say yes. Laura the whole process is totally out of control. This is why the special counsel statute in my mind is unconstitutional. Think about it this way. Muellers office resides within the executive branch. And that means if he wants to and if its politically appropriate for him to do so, as they headed the executive branch, the president should be able to fire him. But if mueller did get fired by trump for whatever reason, all hell would break loose. Firing Rod Rosenstein or Robert Mueller would provoke a constitutional firestorm. No question that if President Trump fired mueller, rosenstein, or even sessions, he would set in motion a constitutional crisis. A new level of crazy for trump. A new level of being out of control. They, i think for the first time, are really petrified hes going to take that step and they will be in the midst of a constitutional crisis. Laura arent you tired of the ponded echo chamber . They keep repeating themselves day after day. No original thought. Do you know what a constitutional crisis is . When an unelected and largely unaccountable band of hyperpartisan attorneys loyal to the previous president and maybe even Hillary Clinton, they are able to spend millions of your tax dollars in search of a crime merely to undo the results of a president ial election. Thats the thing that should worry us, and thats the angle. Joining me now for reaction, in raleigh, north carolina, the deputy independent counsel and the bill clinton investigation. With me in studio, joe digenova. Geo, the more you look into what happened with the execution of the warrant against cohen and the thinking now and it took me a while to get there, that this was all just a big pretext to vacuum up more personal information from the president that they couldnt otherwise get. Definitely pretextual search warrant designed to gather up information, as you said, mueller ponded off on the Southern District of new york because he didnt want appear to be touching it but this is his dirty work. This is about gathering information for impeachment. Its not about information for criminal cases. But heres the problem. The problem is from the beginning, this investigation has been illegitimate, and thats because Rod Rosenstein had no authority to appoint bob mueller. Rod rosenstein had multiple conflict of interest. He wrote the letter and the memorandum firing james comey. He was party to conversations with the president and others about the firing of james comey. He is a witness in this case. He cannot be supervising mueller. Guess what. He isnt. He is letting mueller do whatever mueller wants to do. Thats a disgrace. Its an investment. Jeff sessions should fire mueller should fire rosenstein tomorrow. Tomorrow. Tomorrow he should fire rosenstein. Laura your reaction. I couldnt disagree more with joe. I think Rod Rosenstein clearly has the authority to appoint a special counsel. He did there in the regulation. No underlying crime. Do i get to talk . I listened to you, joe. I couldnt disagree more with joe. If there is a conflict of interest, i have no doubt that mueller and rosenstein would have discussed it, and rod would have recused himself. Im going to tell you something, laura. You have been nice enough to have me on your show several times. I think your viewers now know i call it like i see it. I will admit to you im a little biased here because i have known rod for 21 years. I know of nobody in the department of justice with more integrity than Rod Rosenstein. It doesnt mean that he or anyone else in the department, including bob mueller, is immune from criticism. If they have done something thats wrong, go ahead and criticize them. Im just telling you what im telling your viewers, i know nobody with more integrity, and i will tell you something else. There are three things about rod that i keep hearing, not on your show come about by anchors and other shows and none of them are accurate. One is that rod is a liberal democrat. He is a lifelong mainstream republican. Two is that rod and comey were good friends. As far as i know, they werent friends at all, much less close friends. And three that he is a protege or was a protege of bob mueller or a good friend. Thats completely wrong. Laura i dont care what other people are saying on others shows because i havent said that. You havent. Laura point well taken. This is what Newt Gingrich said on fox yesterday. Lets watch. The fact is Rod Rosenstein has not done his job. He has not supervised mueller. This whole thing is an absurdity. Laura not supervised mueller. No question he hasnt done that. Hes allowed them to do whatever he wanted to do. Let me disagree with sol. The regulations require a crime. Criminal activity be investigated. No crime or criminal activity was stated in the memorandum appointing mueller. Thats because there was no crime. Rod rosenstein pointed mueller to get rid of a hot potato. It had nothing to do whatsoever with criminal activity. He didnt want the responsibility, like Jeff Sessions had done, by appointing mr. Hubert to investigate crimes inside the Justice Department about fisa. Rod should have done that. He didnt do that. He appointed a special counsel where none is justified under those regulations. As far as i am concerned, this isnt about integrity or anything else. Its about doing your job. Its about being able to carry out the duties of the Deputy Attorney general. And ive known rod a long time. I dont know him as well as you do, and i dont know anything about the things you were talking about. These various relationships. I do know this. He did not have the authority to make the appointment the way he did it. Laura heres what i think may i respond . That point, joels first point. First of all, there doesnt already have to be a crime. Youve got to have an investigation before there is a crime. There does have to be a criminal investigation. Its now clear. Remember the charter says that mueller could look into anything in the investigation that james comey announced when he testified before congress. Its now been made explicitly clear that comey, if you want to criticize somebody, i am all for criticizing comey. Comey had already launched a criminal investigation of several matters, including two very important matters relating to paul manafort, whether he had colluded and taken money from the ukrainian expresident. There was clearly already a criminal investigation. Laura but not of the president. Not focusing on the president. The import of this investigation, what we know happens with special counsels, sol, i think what joe is saying, what youre looking at better have been going right to the president. And it looks to me like you guys are a lot more experience than i am on this. I havent practiced law in a long time but it looks like an investigation in search of a crime that they hoped was committed by the president of the United States or the candidate himself. Thats why going to vote we started with, they ran out of steam on this collusion argument. Then they had to go to the Southern District. What can you get in the offices of the attorney . I dont like that. I will agree with joe on one thing. First of all, we dont know. We dont have all the facts yet so we dont know the full facts about this search. But it certainly has the suggestion of a pretextual search. The Supreme Court has said. Textural searches are okay if you, you can have probable cause to look for something even if you are really looking for something else. But that doesnt make it right. I will tell you this. For them to have searched that office instead of issuing a subpoena, theyre better have been very strong evidence. Rod rosenstein authorized it. Actually destroying, was actually destroying documents. We dont know that. Laura i am with dershowitz on this. They dont do that with the mob. Joe, can i ask you a question . Speak the president was tolds not a target. He was told he was the subject. That means they didnt have a case against him. So what are they doing . Pretextual investigation in new york to create an investigation. Laura its interesting. Its an interesting point. It doesnt mean that. Joe, you are a u. S. Attorney. Thank you, sol. Doesnt mean they dont have a case against you. A subject is between a witness in a target. It means they very well may have a case against you. Totally was not a target. Laura we are dealing with being told you are a witness. Laura weve got to move to something else. I dont get to ask him a question, laura . I am not your witness, sol. I am curious. Im sure you are. Laura we have to go ahead. If you want to host the show, go ahead. Joe, you never searched and Attorneys Office . When you were u. S. Attorney . Not once. Not once. Thank you for the question, sol. Laura i dont know who would want that search in new york was a disgrace to the department of justice. You dont know that. You dont know the facts. Oh, yes, i do. Im sure they are riveting. Riveting about women. Im sure mueller is thrilled. Laura we started with russian collusion. We are now at the billy bush tape. Thats where we are right now. Lets be clear. Thats probably where we are. They are going to billy bush tape, going to the doorman, whether the doorman got money. Its all an impeachment set up from the beginning. I guess trump could be meeting with russian oligarchs in central park. We dont know that. I agree in terms of what it looks like, the Southern District is looking at. Laura you know they are leaking. Bank fraud. Laura they are leaking information on a daily basis. That office leaks, it always has. They shouldnt be leaking. Even the stuff they are leaking, its not a big deal. Youre talking about gardenvariety crimes. In the case of Campaign Finance, we dont know if it is a crime. Laura okay, lets talk about the fact that it looks like cohen actually may have, again, according to sources, did record the various meetings with associates but again, reportedly some of them were actually replayed for the president. I dont know if they were worried about what people were saying. This was over the years. Presumably the Southern District of new york has seized recordings, if those exist, they took hard drives, they took his phone. Took his phone out of his hand. This is what im saying. We dont know where this is going to go. There is a lot of questions marks here. I dont know why anybody would be i think the recording conversations. Its not a good practice. Laura why would the client donald trump want that . Another thing i have to ask, theres a piece that came out in the atlantic today that expanded on the criticism or the analysis, i would say, that cohen really wasnt acting as an attorney. That cohen was more of a mediator, troubleshooter and that many stages in his association with trump, it seems he is drooling work not legal in nature makes light of his own poor performance in the courtroom. Is it possible to use an attorney as a shield to protect information . Do people do that . I imagine they do. Im not saying that was done here. Thats what the left is clearly trying to put out there, that he really wasnt an attorney. He was like a fixer guy. So he doesnt get the benefit of the attorneyclient privilege. I think thats ridiculous. As you know, laura, i think he was clearly his attorney. But it doesnt mean everything he did was privileged. You can have an attorney who also functions as a business official in an organization. And then you have to determine, is he acting as a business advisor or as a Legal Advisor . I dont think theres any question that theres many Privileged Communications between cohen and trump. Doesnt mean everything in the office laura joe, we will do comey next segment. We have a barn burner of a segment coming up on comey. Your reaction to the excerpts youve seen thus far. I find it to be gossipy and juvenile, but that is comey. Hes a very, very sick man. Laura why do you think sick . So selfpossessed and immoral beyond the pale. I think hes suffers from an ego the size of mount rushmore. Its been his undoing. Laura trump has a big ego. Come on. When youre the head of the fbi, youre supposed to be different than a businessman. For once, i agree with joad to jen about once. I agree with everything he said. Only for once. Laura you know how some people, he comes off as kind of priggish, comey, imperious, sanctimonious. Literally and figuratively looking down on you pace to go Cardinal Comey as we used to call him. I think youve got him pegged. He went to hollywood with the ashcroft testimony and has really never gotten over it. Laura able to do a book tour but we cant get them back to the committee to give testimony. Basically gave the stiff arm to the committee, doesnt want to come back. If it was good morning america, he should be doing good interviews on capitol hill. Thanks so much. Speak of the committee is not important enough. Laura good point. I like it when you dont agree. We need this bias, we need the disagreement. Washington is abuzz over the leaks from the comey suppose a tellall book. You may laugh when you hear what hes got. Hot and bothered or you might feel this way. This is terrible. It makes me mildly nauseous to think we mightve had some impact on the election. Baby boomers, heres something you should know. Theres a serious virus out there that 1 in 30 boomers has, yet most dont even know it. A virus thats been almost forgotten. Its hepatitis c. Hep c can hide in the body for years without symptoms. Left untreated it can lead to liver damage, even liver cancer. The only way to know if you have hep c is to ask your Healthcare Provider for the simple blood test. If you have hep c, it can be cured. For us, its time to get tested. Its the only way to know for sure. Laura leaks from the upcoming tellall book from jim comey seem more tabloid than telling. Former fbi director reportedly revealed such nuggets as President Trumps hands are smaller than his. Trumps ties are too long. Looks like hes using goggles. For good measure, comey called trump on ethical and a liar. Democrats may swoon over the book, just as they cheered comeys role in the Russian Investigation but are still livid. Comey sat reopening of the Hillary Clinton email investigation late in the campaign. Believing it couldve cost the election. Our next guest has choice thoughts. Former White House Press secretary ari fleischer. Great to see you. This book, usually you put out your hot stuff to get people to buy it. If this is all they have. I think its a big snore. I dont see why this book is going to sell copies. Lets start with the personal stuff. Seems petty. He called him a congenital liar, actually, and an unethical man. My point here is if thats what the fbi thought of the commander in chief, the president to whom he does report even though he is tenured and independently appointment appointed, the honorable thing would have been for him to resign. How can you work for somebody he considers unethical . He does work for the president. Hes the fbi director, one of the more powerful positions in government that answers to the present. The honorable thing, if thats what he thought, would be to resign. The james comey i know has always been a grand standard. It has always been in this book shows that even more. Laura an interesting tweet by former fbi agent. James comey book section 2. 4 of fbis manual covers prohibited disclosures. Fbi employee shall not discuss information that relates to the substantive merits of any ongoing or open investigation or case. The implication being he shouldnt be talking about this investigation or anything close to it. I have more reason, then you are i or anyone watching, to disparage jim comey. He in no way helped Hillary Clinton. Donald trump, i can make the argument, wouldnt be in the white house than without him. I think donald trump would be in trump tower. Towering inferno. Laura come on. Thats bad. Liberals are really salivating the fact that someone in trump tower . I get criticized. No repercussions for those comments. I want to see paul begala. He said mr. Comey needs to put his big boy pants on, admit his unethical actions swung the election to trump and beg for forgiveness. My aunt fannys bean dip makes me mildly nauseous. Call me swinging the election took trump makes me sick. Every time i see them, i burp a little bit in my mouth. Sanctimonious, selfish, selfinvolved person. A word ive not used with him and i dont believe hes a liar. If you dont like him, and you dont like the book, dont buy the book. We are where we are. This is about bob mueller. Bob mueller is in the middle of doing something we dont know what hes doing. We know what the Republican Party is doing and we know what the president is doing. They are doing everything they can to stop this man. Laura democrats tried to go after ken starr in the 90s. I dont its a good example because ken starr started in 94 and went on beyond bill clinton being in office. I dont know why, what is everyone afraid of to just let this man do his job . There is another issue. James comeys judgment, it gets to the core of whether he did a good job as head of the fbi. Take the investigation of hillary. Whether you agree with what he found her didnt, james comey had no role or responsibility to usurp the duties of the attorney general and the department of justice and decide no reasonable prosecutor would settle this case. The proper thing to do would have been to silently make his defiance known known to the det of justice. Comey couldnt do that because he couldnt resist the camera. He had to go out and hold a News Conference where he concluded basically that hillary broke the law and then he said but no reasonable prosecutor would prosecute her. Laura he allowed peter strzok and a couple others to edit the remarks. To make them not comport. How do you do that . Can i read an excerpt . We are where we are. Thats true. So what. Just dont buy his book. Laura let me read. Hold the thought. I want to read this one thing. This is a full screen, another excerpt. Jim comey did everything wrong prior to election day. And they really dont care whether he said sorry. Apology not accepted. Laura is this comey standard justice, justice by polling . He is enjoying being the hero and the victim in the spotlight and the author and the guest. We have to endure it for 15 minutes. But he started something that was based on legitimacy thats been handed over to bob mueller. Laura based on legitimacy . We can do an hour on that, whether it was a legitimate opening of investigation . You have five people. Laura we could go through a floor of any building. If you want to indict someone. Mueller was a person of high ideals, clear sense of purpose. Laura we are not going to do this. It is ari from 2001. I still believe that about bob mueller. Bob miller is not james comey. Where james comey shows is that prosecutors who have bad judgment will make mistakes, not everybody is perfect at the department of justice or the fb fbi. Its an interesting and important reminder for bob mueller as he goes forward. What we know about james comey, and you said it, the things he did before the election were wrong and it goes back to the Bush Administration when he grand standard on one of the intelligence programs we had and created this whole drama about himself when there was a program the fbi had previously approved that the Justice Department previously approved and james comey had this dramatic moment at our hospital to reverse everything that the department of justice previously did. Laura ive got her read. Its like pillow talk. This is comey on Loretta Lynch, whether she was impartial. So we find out in this book that theres information for making call into question the attorney generals independence and overseeing this investigation. We already know. He left it out because hes embarrassed. The Washington Post reported months ago that he fell for a fake email someone in the clinton campaign, sent from a woman named Loretta Lynch was an Energy Lobbyist in california. The guy is naive. The guy is a rube. Bob muellers command we should be talking about. Bob mueller was appointed. We are talking about comey because hes writing a book. He is writing a book that led to the investigation. Comey has been deified by the press corps. They loved him when he took on bush. They loved him when he let hillary go. Laura he loves being in the spotlight. He loves his moment in the sun. I that you want us to her, no one is going to ask hard questions. Such as you said you leaked that memo to the Columbia University professor. Who else did you routinely leak things to . Laura we are out of time. We forgot to mention that. Anyone who gets in the car and writes a memo to the file is not someone i trust. Sorry. All right, guys, fantastic. Next, a man who attended some of the comeytrump meetings, former chief of staff Reince Priebus weighs in exclusively. Also on paul ryan. Up to 50 faster today at invisalign. Com laura House Speaker paul ryans announcement is not going to seek reelection has ignited a contest to replace him between the established wing of the g. O. P. And the more conservative populist wing. In last nights angle, i said the secret departure is a clear sign trumps vision, not ryans, is the future of the party. That the establishment may finally be ceding the party to the man who took it from them in the first place. However, ryan claimed today that the more populist Steve Scalise has conceded the speakership to the establishment favorite, Kevin Mccarthy. Thats not exactly what Steve Scalise said this morning. You are in the room next to your colleague Kevin Mccarthy. You are seen as the front runners for this role. Would you run up against him . No, and ive said that befor before. Ive never run against kevin and i wouldnt. Laura why not . Is Kevin Mccarthy untouchable . Come on, steve. That leaves a lot of wiggle room. Lets discuss this with someone who one chaired the g. O. P. Party in ryans home state of wisconsin. Former white house chief of staff Reince Priebus joins us for an inclusive interview on the angle. I thought you were going to be in studio. I am so bummed. Where are you . Why arent you here question i have an early flight in the morning. Thank you for having me. I appreciate you letting me do it remote. Laura no problem. Great to see you. We are going to get into the comey nonsense and a second, the comey book. Now we are just howling because its like, his ties to long. We will get to that in a second. Tell me about the ryan departure. Some conversation today i heard that theres a push to have ryan leave sooner. Dont spend the next six months with this intrigue about whos going to replace him. If youre going to leave, why not leave now . Instead of the end of the year . Is there any wisdom to that . To go i dont think so, laura. I think if you look at what mark meadows said today, he didnt think so either. I think thats really important. When people like mark walker from the study group and mark meadows from the Freedom Caucus and people in the middle are not saying that, i think it tells you what you need to know. I dont think thats going to happen. And i do think, i know its hard to believe in politics. I think ryan leaving and all of the other intrigue is more coincidental with his timing, how long he wants to serve. Its been talked about, hes been talking about this actually for years, of hanging it up and spending more time at home. It was a tough call. Laura so its not, so its not sorry to interrupt. Reince, its not because hes frustrated they are going to go in the minority. They are going to push the remove trump from office, its going to be a nightmare for the next year and a half. You dont think that played into it at all . Well, no, i dont. I think if you run and you win and you have, you only have a two vote majority, he cant leave then either because then what are you going to do . You are going to be the speaker of the house with a two vote majority and put a congressional seat in play . You really had no other option. He could have run again, gotten in the minority, and then resign but it wouldnt of been honest the people that were there. I dont see any other way. When you go to pancake breakfasts, laura, and i know you know politics and you do these things too. When you go to pancake breakfasts for 20 years and these little towns you represent, its very difficult to ask people to put up four by 8yard signs all over the district knowing that come january, youre only going to say im out of here, and then you have to go home and live with the people that you just ld to, theres no way around it. The other thing i would say, privately talking to paul, and i know him well. He was having a lot of fun and getting a lot of the work done, and he had a lot of fun and had a lot of enjoyment out of working with President Trump. Laura people dont think that. Its not true. Certainly they have their times in the beginning that were come and go and hit or miss. Once they got to know each other and once they started spending time together, he actually was having a good time. Laura thats nice. Thats nice. Glad to hear it. Very hallmark. They do have different views, trade, immigration, way different views. Is it a trump party now, reince . Wait a second. I dont think, on immigration, i dont think they had a different view. The president and paul ryan were pretty much locks up. On daca, the president went from 800,000 to 1. 6. That was something the president did. Laura the original. You have come a long way too, laura. Laura trump on the campaign trail, paul ryan was uncomfortable every minute of the day. Even after trump wins the nomination come he didnt give a full throated endorsement. It was like pulling teeth. Its crying over spilled milk. Im going to ask about the comey book. Im not denying that. Im saying is they got to know each other, they worked well together. Laura do you think Kevin Mccarthy gets it . I know the president likes him whole lot but he also really respects steve. So i think its a tough call for the president. I think its a tough choice for the people in the house. But look, i think theres plenty of time for this. The good news is that the 40 million has already been put in the bank so everything now that the parties bringing in is icing on the cake. The rnc is also top of it, crushing the dnc. Money is not going to be the issue. Laura chances we keep the house . 4. 5 . I think its right around a coin flip. I think the wind is at the republicans face. Some of the recent elections are pretty scary. I think the wisconsin outcome is a wakeup call for the party. They have to triple down on voter identification turnout and i think its time to make sure that weve got the right candidates on the ballot. If its possible to get rid of some bad candidates, we should. We should put better candidates in their place. Thats where its going to come down to. Laura this feed book, we are almost out of time. Give me your thumbnail read. I know you had a few interactions with comey at the white house. Whats your take . I did. Listen, ive heard all the conversation you had. It was great in the segment before and i dont disagree with a lot that was said. One thing i would say that i havent heard is how generally improper it is for the highest appointed Law Enforcement officer in the country to turn around a half year later and write a kiss and tell about the president. Everyone has their gripes. And im sure i could tell you privately a few grapes of my own. Its just not a proper thing to do today, especially given he was the director of the fbi. Laura did you like him . Did you like him when you dealt with him . I actually didnt deal with him all that much, laura. Sort of a dubious type of thing where its just someone who comes in and out very carefully, very quietly. Some interactions in the situation room. Some initial interactions early in trump tower. Other than that, there wasnt a whole lot better. A lot more is analyzed and made up of it than it actually was. Laura Reince Priebus, great to see you. Thanks so much for coming on tonight. All right, and also today, Congress Held an emergency meeting on the caravan of Illegal Immigrants heading up to mexico to the u. S. Border. We are going to tell you why there are serious new concerns next. Laura House Oversight subcommittee held an emergency hearing this afternoon titled a caravan of Illegal Immigrants, a test of u. S. Borders. Why was that necessary . Because there are new reports in ms featuring members are posing as minors traveling with the migrant caravan. Lovely. As if that werent enough, this week in the jacksonville, florida, area, a twice deported illegal immigrant from el salvador was charged with manslaughter over the 2016 death of the officer trying to track him down. Deputy eric oliver was a navy veteran and described as a hero in his community. He was 32 years old, and his daughter was six when he died. Joining me now is republican congressman ron desantis, who chaired todays hearing. He is also running for governor of florida. I endorsed you so long ago its not even funny. Lets talk about the caravan crime and our open borders. How are you . This is wild because we see reports of large numbers of people. Forget the caravans, crossing the border altogether at one time. Then they are taken into custody and they are like, who are you, for you. One guy says im being recorded for ms13 in los angeles. Its wild. We need this wall. Not funded in the omnibus. We need the wall. The consensus amongst most of the Witnesses Today with that trump boarded a catch and release to be done but yet they are still laura thats what im saying. They are still doing it. When you have the massive border searches, that really is a godsend to the drug cartels and the amount of fentanyl and all this junk that theyve been able to bring into the country that has caused a lot of people to lose their lives. We have to get this under control. Laura what does it mean without a wall . We keep going back to the wall. Isnt everything . Its not everything but its a big deterrent. Walton do not have prosecutorial discretion. If a bureaucrat doesnt want to enforce the law. If you want to do the old Obama Policies or if you have an Administration Like obama where they basically just give up on enforcement, then you dont have your laws being enforced but the wall is a wall and the places where they havent like san diego, it works. Laura i want to read this to be full so they understand the numbers we are talking abou about. Agents assigned to the yuma station in arizona came upon a large group of 61 Illegal Immigrants who crossed the border monday afternoon. This is from breitbart. Near the san louise port of entry. The illegal Border Crossers consisted of a single Mexican National and 59 guatemalans. One salvadoran who claimed to be an unaccompanied minor. According to the information that they received, then they questioned them, it turned out, the once posted unaccompanied minor was an adult who was an ms13 recruit. From the l. A. Ms13. Do you know, when they come in, then what happens to them . We have gotten a lot of the, gotten rid of a lot of the detention centers. It depends on what they say. We have asylum laws that people know what to say to claim asylum. In almost every instance, its pretty obvious when they are coming from guatemala that they are not necessarily qualified. Asylum is like you are being persecuted because of race, religion, political opinion. Laura you could say that life in guatemala is persecution. They have problems but its not enough. Once they do that, they get a trial in two years. They get released into our country. Laura what you are saying is despite with the administration has said, catch and release is still happening. Its still happening against the wishes of the elected president. Thats the problem. You have caravans coming. They should be stopped at the border. Laura they should not be allowed to cross the border. People watching the show now. Why is this happening . It is infuriating. They know they can do it. The yuma sector in arizona is reporting that they are seeing a surge in larger groups. Now they are not doing the trickle through. They are doing large groups moving across the border. You use the word invasion. People say that so mean. What else is it . You have human trafficking, drugs. Laura there is an ad being run about you that makes you look like a combination of dr. Jekyll, frankenstein, and a terrorist. We can play it . Lets watch it. This is the same ron desantis who voted. Ron desantis says he wants to help President Trump drain the swamp but when a reporter asked desantis if President Trump was mentally stable, he refused to answer or defend the president. This is the same ron desantis who voted to give food stamps to Illegal Immigrants. Hardly part of the president s make America Great again agenda. Ron desantis. Can we trust the swamp creature to leave florida . Laura so ridiculous. Adam putnam did that add . One of his supporters. Laura you have been one of the most stalwart supporters of this president on almost every issue i can think of. Which is why months ago i endorsed you. How do people even get away with saying that . They are running on radio. Some of the Radio Station that had to take it out already because its false. When they say voting for food stamps, then they cite a bill where i voted against the farmville that had obamas food stamp policies in there. I voted against all the food stamps. Certainly wouldnt do it for people here illegally. Its a hundred percent false. Radio stations of taken it down. Working with tv stations. Its absurd. Laura how is the race looking in florida . Rick scott is moving on. The fact that they are running ads against me. Dogs dont bark at parked cars. I am on the move. They see it. It rattles people. Laura i want you to continue to educate the people on whats happening at the border because i think americans, when they hear catch and release is still happening, they are infuriating and shocked, and the president needs to step up and take members of congress for allowing this to happen to task. Ron desantis, thank you so much. Michelle malkin up next. Inside scoop on the Sinister Forces trying to suppress the free speech of conservatives. We are going to name names, expose their tactics. Latest installment of defending the first. Laura time for another installment of our new series defending the first. We expose the enemies of the First Amendment, Free Expression, and free thought. You all know Michelle Malkin is a fierce champion of free speech, particularly online where she has a pioneering entrepreneur. Tonight she is going to shed light on the dark forces behind organized efforts to silence conservatives. Michelle malkin, welcome back to the ankle. Great to see you. Its so important for the people watching fox tonight to see and understand what this all is really all about. I want to start with george soros. George soros has funded leftwing groups, as you pointed out, the center for american progress. I think we have a graphic. The color of change. People for the american way, media matters, action network. Connected with media matters. There we help all those organizations. Telus, michelle, which are the worst offenders and enemies of free thought and Free Expression . Media matters has been at the forefront of the speech squelch hers who are highly organized, incredibly disciplined and obviously deeply funded not only by george soros but a number of leftwing foundations. I think its really important to note that so many of these outfits are taxexempt. That they enjoy so much largess as a result of irs loss. And that under democratic administrations, the definition of 5o1c3s and fours have been stretched so that these blatantly partisan political organizations have cast themselves the somehow educatiol or social welfare groups. You have media matters that have gone after every prominent conservative perspective voice in the Public Square, they will use any pretext. These people do this for a fulltime living. As a result, it is undeniable, laura. We have been in this arena for so many years in talk radio, on broadcast, and on social media where its been so important for independent conservative voices to get their messages out. We know that the encroachment of these sensors and these bullies in the Public Square has left an undeniable cloud over the First Amendment and Free Expression. Laura michelle, people say well, this is all the free marketplace of ideas. Everyone else, they want to complain about someone who says something, they do that. And thats part of the democratic process too. Each side has their own opinions on one side wants to become a whatever they are doing, you have these corporations that get 100 emails from some leftwing activists. Meanwhile millions of conservatives are like, are you kidding me . Makes no sense. In some cases these supposedly back lash that elicits this response from corporations that just dont want any bad publicity, sometimes constitutes a couple tweets, right . Then you have the media matters and color of change that exploit their social justice status. They have an absolute immunity shield to go after conservatives for expressing mainstream thought and opinion. Thats what people need to know about the agenda. The agenda of these leftwing character assassins is to marginalize mainstream thought. Laura awesome. We are going to be right back. Michelle malkin. Laura what did you think of that joe digenova, mueller, comey, they could make a great weekly segment, dont you . Sweet to me, ingrahamangle. Steve on radio tomorrow morning. All the time we have tonight. Now we have Shannon Bream and the fox news night team. They have a fantastic show on tap as always. Shannon . Shannon you could sell tickets, maybe do a payperview situation on that. Laura next time. Shannon thanks, laura. Hello, welcome to fox news night. I am Shannon Bream in washington. General jack keane on syria, congressman jim jordan on a special counsel, and the washington examiners byron york on former fbi director james comey, they are all straight ahead.
