I say this every night but we do have breaking news from the Nations Capital tonight. Just in the last few hours, you heard hannity hit on this but the Top Republican on the Judiciary Committee has released thousands of pages of closeddoor interviews with top officials. Its like christmas. We have been coming through them for you, and you will not believe what former Loretta Lynch said about spying, yes, indeed, here in moments to discuss the latest and also, hansen will tell us how obama intel chief are now turning on each other, like something out of the serengeti, turning on each other, plus details where the real obstruction lies and we sent our cameras to a rally time squares, holing for ilhan omar to route be removed from the Foreign Committee in one of them men leading that effort will join us tonight, but first, rinse and repeat. That is the focus of tonights angle. Now if joe biden continues to dominate these early months of the 2020 president ial race, the other democrat candidates, they are kind of left to pick up whatever table scraps they can get. Poor oh beto thinks your hair and White Privilege will make him relative again. Kamala harris trying to reset, corey rebrand, and kiersten a refrain. And then there is mayor pete who desperately needs a rebooted judge, but of course, hes oblivious about his deficiencies as a candidate because he usually glides through interviews, rarely facing tough questions. Now last night he appeared on this network for town hall event in front of a studio audience that included a lot of supporters. Pushing for tax increases were lobbing cheap shots come he was trying to pass off political pablum and highminded oratory. I believe we are living through one of the transitions between moments in American History as consequential as the one who brought us the new deal where the dawn of the reagan era which is actually a 40 year period that has only come crashing to a halt with hostile takeover the Republican Party by the president. It does call for that longer view. Everybody has different attributes they bring. One of the one i bring is the possibility of that kind of generational shift. Laura now, the political equivalent of cotton candy. It taste good at first but then nausea kicks in. I think cecil rhodes is muttering he wants his scholarship back. I think i was ahead of the curve a few months ago when i called help Pete Buttigieg just a judgmental and sanctimonious and some of the christians whose faith he was questioning. Last august President Trump is basically described Game Show Host in Vice President pence, he said this is social extremist the likes of which are contrary and has not known in national politics. Wow, so much for conservative family values. Beyond his boy scout demeanor and Pete Buttigieg and other creation of media apparatus desperate to oust trump. And as im sure you saw again and again and on the other networks, he showed this unattractive stream last night. It is hard to patronize and condescend your way to win the nomination. You cant do it. You have to treat the people like they deserve to be treated. Forget mayor pete, maybe we should call him pope pete. Dont you love how pete attends church, we are to treat him like the beall and endall moral authority, the herb or of who is and who is not operating in good faith. So we find conservative media objectionable, but the third trimester abortion . They are perfectly moral. Do you believe at any point whether it is six weeks or eight weeks, 24 weeks or whenever that there should be any limit on a womans right to have an abortion . No, i think the dialogue has got so caught up where you draw the line that we have gotten away from the fundamental question of who gets to draw the line. And i trust women to draw the line when its their life. [applause] laura well met, an example of good faith. Is that what you actually call that . Good faith towards the unborn child . She probably doesnt feel the good faith. As the father have any rights at all . I think we need a paper proclamation. This eager beaver mayor effect of the art of mild mannered extremism. His modulated tone and kind of cool cat exterior are designed to make the extreme seem downright pedestrian. Its all normal as a sunday School Lesson or hot apple pie. But dont be fooled, you were too smart for that. Here he is showing hes not too far from his buddy al sharpton on a hot button historical issues. Should Jefferson Jackson be renamed everywhere because both i think it is the right thing to do. Over time you develop the things you choose to honor and i think we know enough, especially you just look at basically jeffersons more problematic and of course a lot to admire and thinkings of philosophy. It is not like we are plotting him out of the history books. But maybe something naming something after somebody is an amount of honor. Laura well, so do statues and monuments. We have a lot of those of thomas jefferson, but hes not for blowing those up. Now, look, this is all giving aid and comfort to kind of the modern day tele band the destroyers of history that people who rather than learning from the shadows of history refr to strike the name and the images of the past from the public square, that way you shortcircuit debate altogether. They are not taking them from the history books. Just from your site line and everyday life so you dont see it anymore. I would be delighted to have mayor Pete Buttigieg the ingraham angle and i will treat him fairly but i will not leave the generality of complex issues that ive heard him speak about such as china or religious liberties. I would ask him really serious, tough questions. And i would ask him to tell us more about his parents, specifically his fathers marxist pedigree. Tell us the glories of socialism that family members, your dad may be championed as a professor and were you steeped at those in the home . I think the country would like to know. You have plenty of time to cheryl of your truth while on the road. Especially given how little time Pete Buttigieg seems to spend in south bend these days. According to a new report in the south bend tribune, mayor Pete Buttigieg out of town and the recent month half of the days. And question for his calendar, they asked him to produce his calendar and this is what the south bend tribune said, his Administration Responded by providing a calendar in which 45 of the 120 days were redacted. Other days didnt indicate whether he was in town and some were blank. That is very transparent of th them. If you cant show up for the city you were pledged to serve, what confidence can the American People have that you will show up for them . In good faith, that is the angle. Angle. All right joining me now to react, dan bongino, author of the upcoming book exonerated, the failed takedown of donald trump by the swamp. Crisp on radio talk show host and former aide to chuck schum chuck schumer, buddha Pete Buttigieg one of many of the 2020 radicals and they are trying to take the moral question for their own. He in particular has been pretty deaf at doing that at i think fairly favorable press. But we are talking about a guy who is elected, not willing to put any restrictions whatsoever. He started a fake fight with mike pence. Mike pence placed him even though different parties and said when he was the governor one of the most disgusting turns around and attacks him, when he is the governor of indiana. He is nothing more than another radical left is trying to pretend to be in my heart a moderate and the media is playing along. Laura last night he was asked about reducing the deficit. His answer might surprise you. Lets watch. Marginal income tax rate on those earning the most. A reasonable wealth tax or Something Like that to make sure that people are giving back when they become enormously wealthy. Perhaps a financial tax, tax is the millisecond differences in computer trades that people become enormously wealthy off of. Closing the Corporate Tax loopholes and incentives for off shoring. Laura chris, that is for different tax hikes but will that fly in Middle America today . Speed to 99 of americans would have no effect, no effect on 99 of your viewers and 99 of the people voting. A very small amount of people that would be subject to any of those revenue. Laura no trickle down. Chris every polite scene from Middle American and modern income have said they want to see higher taxes o on the wealty and corporation and on trades. Lets see what happens if those are out there. I think they should do it. You call the socialist no matter what and that is a very modest proposal. Laura four tax hikes . Wait a second, we have an economy from a dan that is on fire. We have historically low unemployment, at least 1969. We have an incredible sense of confidence in the future, more people are working. If you want to work today, you will get a job. There is no doubt about it. I cant remember a better time to be in america than right now. Dan the economy motoring precisely because thankfully of what chris said. Im so glad he was not an advisor to donald trump, thank the lord. But chris does not nobodys talking about. I dont know if hes not familiar with marginal taxes work. 20 , 80 , excuse me 20 of top earners pay 80 of the taxes and financial transaction tax. We tanked the stock market. Im not sure chris is sure about this kind of stuff. But invested deeply by pension funds, Union Workers and others. This idea of the Corporate Tax range will only affect the business . What do you think Customer Business customers are . No, no, im not done who passed the taxes on to the consumers. Chris, pick up an economic textbook once in a while. It is very illuminating. Chris i, unlike you have taken economic classes in college. Dan actually i have an mb mba. Chris ive been watching the show and 99 of americans as the president s trade war with china and the tears he has proposed and his failure to keep open trade going around the world. Dan notice laura boys. Be to all the people you are worried about. Laura hey, we can do alone come a long segment sometime on trade, but there aint no inflan insight and finally we are taking china seriously. We didnt under the previous eight years. We didnt under bush but we are finally doing it now. We see the president who sees the world as it is and not as some fantasy we play out at harvard, princeton, the elites going to school and learning the world will love us if we treat them right. We are doing what we need to do now. The economy is absorbing the tariffs that are small percentage of a 20 trillion economy. So dont play this game on the tariffs are doing and the re the economy, that is ridiculous and you know it. Chris you are smart enough to know we should not be running up deficits like this president has. Laura so you want to tank and you want to turn it over to china. You want to turn this over to china because of the soybean farmers . That is ridiculous. We have to get into Kamala Harris. She is one of the other candidates who is trying to rebrand and restate things. Lets listen to what she said with her bold new plan. I am going to announce the firstever National Priority on closing that pay gap. [applause] and Holding Corporations accountable for transparency. There will be penalties if they dont. Laura dan, look, more people embracing socialism. And i think a lot of young people coming out of colleges and universities today are they probably dont have the economics that they should have if they are either graduating in a major of economics. And they hear this and they say, that sounds fair. What about that . That may sell with young people today. Dan it is sad because leftwing Media Outlets have debunked the pay cap the pay gap that she is referring to. The pay gap is due to career choices among men and women. It is currently illegal. Im not sure if Kamala Harris knows this but im sure she does, shes very bright and probably just lying to people but it is currently illegal to pay men and thankfully by the way, men and women differently based exclusively on sex. She wants experts in the boardroom determining what peoples salaries are . Laura crisco mold on a minute. We didnt play the sound bite where she talks about the actual 80 , 0. 80 to the dollar and liberal ending politifact debunked that so shes using wrong numbers. She keeps repeating them over and over again. That is not working for her. I think she is trying to do her little rebrand, but im not sure, even with a more socialist leaning young people come i dont think it is working. Chris well, what she actually proposed, laura, companies that do business with the United States government have to certify themselves that they are paying men and women equally to do equal jobs. What im hearing from dan is from its okay for the government to interfere between a woman and her doctorate and the Health Choices shes making them up but not for them to hold accountable buying goods and services. Dan what are you talking about . These are totally different issues. Chris do you want small government or big government, dan . Dan i want government to defend life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness. Laura guys, whatever we do, we are out of time but whatever we do in these conversations, we at least have to have a benchmark of foundational truths when it comes to numbers. The numbers that she was sighting, whatever her plan is going to become of the numbers she cited were not accurate. That is a big problem for her. Thank you for coming on. Former white House Counsel dan mccann twos defy a subpoena to testify before the house panel and thousands of incriminating interviews with former obama officials. Thousands of pages. My legal panel joe digenova and john you to break it down next. Whip out the spf cause its memorial day weekend and bookers are out here skipping and gliding and steaming and. Eating dip. Memorial day is coming. So book a place to stay and be a booker at booking. Com. Six laura we have a lot of big legal news to get through today from nucors door transcripts released by republicans of the Judiciary Committee. The democrats exploding in their own closeddoor meeting over whether to move forward on impeachment are not against trump. Lets bring in former Deputy Assistant bretbaier and u. S. Attorney joad de geneva. I want to begin with don mcgann but before we get to these transcripts he was white House Counsel for President Trump and the white house today is legging out why the former counsel should defy how subpoena to testify before Judiciary Committee and began through his lawyer has agreed to skip it. Here is what President Trump before heading to pennsylvania tonight. As i understand it, at the office of the presidency come i think it is a very important precedent. The attorneys are saying they are not doing that for me. They are doing that for the office of the president. So we are talking about the future. If the democrats want a redo and weve had enough and the countries had enough. Laura no redos. Joe, nadler was on cnn saying they are going to hold mcgann and contempt. Joe welcome a mcgann was the counsel to the president. He gave 30 hours of testimony to mueller. That was not a waiver of executive privilege because mueller is antiexecutive branch and was an employee of the president of the United States. So there is still executive privilege when it comes to testimony from the hill as well as various confidentiality privileges that the president has such as consultation and communication. So they are on very strong legal ground. If the house litigates contempt on mcgann, they will lose. Laura john, is it customary for folks out there who arent well versed and in the legal issues, constitutional issues, executive privilege, is it common for white House Counsel to testify on the hill ever . I mean come i just dont recall it. Maybe im not recalling it, but i dont recall it and past administrations. John know, in fact the grants the Justice Department has set out an opinion why mcgann cant testify. According to the Justice Department and lower courts that have looked at this, the aides closest to the president like the chief of staff, National Security advisor, white House Counsel, basically extensions of the president himself. So just like congressman cant drag President Trump to testify to court because that would show disrespect to a core branch of government. Chief Justice John Roberts to testify, cant do that either. So also will so you cant drag closest aides to the president in front of congress to force them to answer questions. The Justice Department makes a good point, which is if Congress Really wanted to harass the president and prevent him from doing his job and doing business of the country, they can subpoena and keep bringing all of this before it. Laura this it so i am there seems to be the goal here. The other breaking news came courtesy of closeddoor t
