What else, come on, what other shows . Sean i love the concerts in vegas. And i love innout burger. Its my favorite. Laura are you a little bit country or a little bit rock n roll . Sean all country. Good grief. Laura i am Laura Ingraham on a busy night in washington. We have an exclusive big interview tonight. Secretary of state mike pompeo sat down with me for an rare interview to discuss among other topics whether john kerry, obamas former secretary of state broke u. S. Law by meddling in Foreign Policy. Plus his first reaction to an undercover video where a state Department Employee suggests there is a resistance inside the administration. Oh, goodie. And Raymond Arroyo is here with a seen and unseen i can actually say for the ages. Here it goes. What is roseannes death and sexuality of muppets and jack black have in common . Well find out. Plus nancy pelosi and adam schiff employee a lastditch effort to stall the president s order about the documents and texts regarding the russia investigation. What are they afraid is going to come out . We begin tonight with the latest on the fast developing Brett Kavanaugh fight. The calls began early this morning. The message for the kavanaugh resistance was clear. It began with an appearance by the ghost ofs confirmation past. They wanted an fbi investigation before she testifies. Is that the right move . Should the senate honor her request . Absolutely. Its the right move. The hearing questions need to have a frame. And the investigation is the best frame for that. The fbi is good at this. They do cold cases all the time. They can, probably in a matter of days, figure out if there is corroboration for dr. Fords account. It would be helpful it judge kavanaugh would say i prefer an investigation by the fbi. Laura i think one of them is less intelligent than the rest. God bless them but were going to get to that. Amazing, though, how none of them want to examine the facts. We will do that. Last night we are a former high level fbi agent tell us the fbi is trying to use kavanaugh has their political animal. And the fbi doesnt like that that much. If testimonials like that arent enough, our john roberts reported today that a high placed Law Enforcement official said that there wont be an investigation into allegations against judge kavanaugh and here is why. There are no allegations of a federal crime and the only investigation the fbi does is the Background Investigation. They find the info and pass on it on. Thats already been done in this case. They dont investigate the information. The Law Enforcement source went on to tell fox news, quote, this is a political issue, not a Law Enforcement one. Boy, is that true. It isnt just the politically inclined advancing this narrative, their media cheerleaders are piling on. One tweet this afternoon. A number of former prosecutors and fbi agents hate said today people who make up allegations tend not to demand that the fbi investigate them. Hes of course not the only one advancing this narrative. But there is one problem with this contention. Ford hasnt actually stated that shes willing to talk to the fbi. She just wants kavanaugh investigated. Think that might be an important fact or detail . Late this afternoon, senator grassley at wits end over this charade submitted a letter which was scathing to the Judiciary Committee democrats slamming their persistent, quote, abuse of this confirmation process through delay and obstruction with every argument available. Here to shred more not shred more, shed more light on this is the former assistant director of the fbi, bill gavin. You were called out which we will play in a moment. Your reaction to where we stand with this drum beat, this incessant drum beat for fbi involvement . Bill . Laura, i am amazed at this whole thing. Number 1, everybody is calling for an investigation. An investigation of what . There is no predicate offense. An investigation if there was a rape or a Sexual Assault should have been done by local authorities and Everybody Knows that the statute of limitations has run on that now. Thats number one. Number two, Background Investigations. Its over. Its done. Could the white house say open it up again . They could, but its not going to happen. In this particular case, what could come from opening the Background Investigation again . We go out and interview who . Number one, the alleged victim has been offered by senator feinstein where she produced a heavily redacted letter that hints at somebody that nobody knows what happened. Number two, judge kavanaugh gave his point of view. His friend alleged i have no knowledge of this and nor would i think judge kavanaugh would do anything like that. What theyre trying to do is put the fbi in a nowin jackpot. Its a nowin situation for the bureau. They will say you didnt do your job. Laura but, someone from nbc took you to task on that analysis. I want to play it for you. And bill, get you to react on the other side. Lets watch. My sources are presenting another view that the one that you just heard from bill gavin. The fbi could investigate this. Not as a criminal matter but as part of their role background checking federal nominees. They can only do that if the white house asks them to look into this allegation. And if the white house did ask them to do that, they would be perfectly capable of shedding some light on this. Laura this is the rub. Its the president. It always goes back to President Trump. If President Trump really cared about women and to protectwomen and cared about Sexual Assault allegations, he would demand that the fbi i guess, go back and, again, find every house with a pool in chevy chase, maryland or something and get these old Georgetown Prep kids to wrack their brains about a keg party 30 years ago. Is there any validity to that point . No there is no validity at all. He said, you could dig up. Who you are going to dig up . There is nobody who it tell you anything at this point in time. He said you could put them under oath. You dont put anybody under oath in a situation like this. You attain the facts and feed them to the white house and the congress and let them do what they want. You know, it just seems to me laura this is political. It is. Thats all it is. Thats all theyre trying to do is delay the vote and do it any way they possibly can. I probably should not say that but thats the way i feel. Laura bill, its the way a lot of americans feel tonight. Thank you very much for being here. And in the american justice system, the burden of proof should be on the person leveling the accusation. In the case of Brett Kavanaugh his political opponents want it the other way. Take this, for instance. Late last night a second corroborating witness came forward with a letter to senator grassleys office. Patrick j. Smythe who attended Georgetown Prep with judge kavanaugh, he denied that the party she described ever happened. He further vouched for kavanaughs character. This Huge Development received very little pick up in the more dominant Mainstream Press even by cnn who broke the story. So, the question here is why . Here with answers are greg a former chief nominations counsel to the senate Judiciary Committee along with gail trotter, an attorney and spokesman for the crisis network. Greg, lets start with you. Your reaction to the latest development. Im sick of the word weaponize, but its kind of weaponizing the fbi in a political calculation for the democrats. That appears to be what is happening here. Its painful for me to watch. There is a process there. Its confidential and keeps politics out and keeps the cameras away. And it gets to the bottom of allegations like this. Its designed to avoid politics and to get to the truth. The Senate Democrats chose to go another way to make it about politics that is unlikely to yield any truth. Laura gail, senator christen gillibrand spoke out today with a lot of passion. Lets watch. They are creating a false choice and trying to bully her into testifying on monday before a full fbi background check is completed. Without the benefit of the fbi investigation and without corroborating witnesses to be able to testify, its a sham hearing. I dont think she should participate in it. Laura shouldnt participate. Sham hearing. A couple of days ago they asked for her to testify. She uses the phrase background check. Which, again, is ms. Ford applying for a federal job . You dont do a background check as part of this process. I cant believe she is a sitting u. S. Senator. I cant believe she uses those phrases. A lack of knowledge about the process. Its legal illiteracy. I mean, when you talk about this, judge kavanaugh has already passed six of these fbi investigations. There were hearings about this. And you look at whats happened with the accuser this week. Her lawyers went to the Washington Post to tell the story. Then they said they would let her testify. Then less than 36 hours passed and they said she wasnt going to. Senator grassley should be commended. And said we will fly to california and do something public. Well do something private. Well do whatever she wants to do because we want her to get her story out there. They want to take her seriously. I think the fact is this is a partisan smear and attempt to delay. Its falling apart. Laura a senator who was vocal on this spoke out as well. Lets watch. The latest being a letter from the chairman to the democrats saying we have done everything we can to contact her. That is such [ bleep ], i cant hardly stand it. Laura according to senators Grassley Office they made several attempts to contact her lawyer and phone calls. I think a total of nine different attempts of communication, 11, total, now. They have been trying. They cant even agree on whether grassleys people were trying to get in touch with her. I mean, they know grassleys number too, if she wanted to testify. The democrats and staff refused to participate in the investigative efforts that are going on right now. They are not taking part in the interviews of judge kavanaugh about these allegations. Theyre boycotting everything. To take the position that the republicans are not taking the allegations seriously, its the democrats that sat on the allegations for weeks and now the democrats are obstructing any effort for them to look into it. Laura and gail made this point. Senator grassley and President Trump said we want to hear from her today. I thought that was good. I would like to get this done. He said take as much time as you need. He seemed to be going even farther than grassley did. Like a dr. Seuss thing, well interview on the phone or in person or private, a conference call, whatever. I dont know what else they can do at this point. Chairman grassley has been incredibly accommodating and patient in the face of histrionics and antics from the other side. Hes one of the senators who is most well known for his commitment to investigations and oversight. He has a team on the committee that is experienced in doing these things. He is trying to do his job which i cant say to be true for everybody else. Laura the other socalled witness, this patrick smythe, he says as far as he knows he has never seen any behavior like this on Brett Kavanaughs part. Every person she cites they are opposing her view. This case is falling apart. And i think you have to take the overwhelming amount of evidence that anyone who knows judge kavanaugh and there are so many people who do, none of them believe this is a credible allegation. Laura what happens friday . I dont know. Well see daytoday. I think people on the Committee Still want to hear from laura she has a friday deadline. Were going to vote. Hold the vote. Laura id do the vote on friday. You have to end the game. You have to teach your kids a less son some time and the senators playing this game a lesson. Thanks to both of you. We have seen how this is playing out in the halls of congress. How are the voters processing this. We bring in frank lund. From the people you are talking to, how will this kavanaugh circus play out in the midterms . Based on what that conversation just held i question whether this will be significant 10 days from now. Because it does look like she isnt going to testify. The American People believe in fairness and believe everyone deserves their day in court. They want to hear what she has to say. She levelled some very strong allegations. But ill tell you that one of the Big Questions among the men i talked to is how far back are you going to hold someone accountable for the behavior that they did. Is what someone did when they were 17, is that applicable to someones life in their 50s . For women, the question is, is she going to get her day in court . Is she going to respond to those that support her and oppose her. Laura on my radio i kind of do an informal poll on the radio in the morning. Its interesting to hear from men and women. This is from across the country, every state. They dont like the whole high school thing. Going back to high school, going back this many years. Memories, foggy. People, moved on. Unless there was a reputation that was known by everybody, oh, yeah that guy. I heard about people didnt like it. People dont like it. I think that word fairness that you just used, i got to tell you, that just cuts right to it. You cant lob these allegations and expect youre not going to get these questions because people are being mean to you online. People are mean to you online. Welcome to the nfl. You have to be willing to respond. Thats why the democrats used anita hill. They realized within 24 hours this story was turning. That people were starting to wo wonder, why are you backing off . You make a claim and you dont back it up at that hearing. They bring out anita hill and that conversation. What you could have is what happened to donald trump in 2016. You want a majority of white women. Everyone thought because of what happened during the campaign, he would crater. One of the reasons why he didnt is because they thought he said what he meant and meant what he said. It doesnt mean they liked his language. In this situation you may see women angry that they are be used and pulled into a political process they want no part of. Make no mistake, laura, s authentici authenticity is important in 2018 and this doesnt seem authentic right now. Laura thanks. Up next a big exclusive. Secretary of state mike pompeo joins me in a rare interview taking on john kerrys attempts to undermine President Trump on the iran issue and his thoughts on google kowtowing to the chinese communists. You do not want to miss this. Up next. Youre still here . Were voya we stay with you to and through retirement. I get that voya is with me through retirement, im just surprised it means in my kitchen. So, that means no breakfast . Voya. Helping you to and through retirement. Im ready to crush ap english. Im ready to do what no one on my block has done before. Forget that. What no one in the world has done before. All i need access, tools, connections. Highspeed connections. Is the world ready for me . Through internet essentials, comcast has connected more than sixmillion lowincome people to lowcost, highspeed internet at home. Im trying to do some homework here. So theyre ready for anything. Laura trump said of his secretary of state, we laura trump said of his secretary of state, we are always on the same wave length. As you will see in my interview with mike pompeo, thats apparent. We begin our conversation today discussing iran and his predecessor john kerrys wildly destructive communications with the Worlds Largest state sponsor of terror. Heres part one of my interview with secretary of state mike pompeo. Mr. Secretary, thanks for joining us tonight. Really, really appreciate it. Iran in the news. Brian hook, your special envoy, saying we want to deal with iran, but a treaty with iran . The iranian leader said no. What is going on . President trump has been clear since he ran for office the arrangement the Previous Administration that was put in place was bad for american and frankly bad for the world. I and brian are working to get iran to behave like a normal nation. Stop being the Worlds Largest sponsor of terror. Stop launching missiles and stop attacking our embassies. When we get those things in place, President Trump has made it clear, we would love to have iran to join the commune of nations. If they do, well get it right. Laura you and john kerry have gone back and forth on this. Former secretary of state, barack obama met four times with iranian leadership. You criticized saying thats not appropriate. You cant have twotrack Foreign Policy here. He responded by saying there is nothing unusual our unseemly about former diplomats meeting with former counter parts. Secretary of state kissinger did it for decades with russia and china. What is unseemingly is for the podium to be hijacked for political means. Secretary kerry cant get off the stage. When i am the former secretary i will get off. Its one thing to meet with the counter parts, its another thing to do what secretary john kerry, wendy sherman, frankly, the whole gang, has done, which is to actively seek to undermine what President Trump is trying to achieve. Its okay to talk with them, but you have to be working for america, working for american Foreign Policy. They are not. They are working for the Foreign Policy that is theirs and not the one that belongs to the United States. Laura dana perino had kerry on and he
