Laura Ingraham shines a spotlight on everyday Americans and examines how their lives are affected by politics at the federal, state and local level. Plus, first, the elite still dont get it. That is the focus of tonights angle. Over the weekend, the libertarianleaning coke network hosted a Rocky Mountain retreatd political leaders. They use the occasion not to amplify and hear the president s policies, but to decry them. 82yearold charles koch has taken the reins of the network. He released this video in advance of the retreat. Now he claims opportunities in the global marketplace are creating anxiety and the loss of jobs at home. In response, we are seeing the rise in protectionists, for countries, organizations, and individuals are trying to protect themselves from these changes. They are doing whatever they can to close themselves off from the new, hold onto the past, and
facilitating the outsourcing of jobs, even through really lame policies, like regulation, or through poorly nego
Im todd piro in for rob schmitt. President trump is willing to do just that if it means securing border. Griff jenkins live in washington, d. C.

A newscast reviewing and analyzing top stories of the day as they happen. Levelling at Robert Mueller. Its much more personal than it has been in the past. The president used to sort of question the genesis of the Mueller Investigation, suggested there were a lot of conflicts of interest among his team. Now hes really going after mueller. This is of a piece with a decision that were told will be coming very soon in which the president and his legal team are likely to say and theres always a chance it could be different but were told they are likely to say that there will be no interview with Robert Mueller. The president has got the final say, but theres pretty much unaminomt. There was question that i was going to ask at the Press Conference had i been called on. The two people that were called on did not bring it up. Theres reasons why, a multitude of reasons why the president s attorneys believe that he should not sit down with him.

Interviews with political figures and news updates. Or observed it. I think if this is true, its a very important development. Its always been hard to accept trump juniors characterization of this meeting as unimportant because of the timeline that it happened on and because of the participants.

And barbara mcquaid, the fact that the proximity of the then candidate, just one floor away from when that meeting took place, the fact he then went to a Campaign Lunch later that day with his son, the likelihood they never would have discussed that becomes even more implausible just because of the relations
A look at the days news and headlines. Lot of legal experts say he wins one in the district of columbia. Keep in mind in the last election in 2016 only 4 of district of columbia voters voted for donald trump. Not good odds in the district of columbia. Bill something were watching. Kellyanne conway Senior Counsel to the president from the white house. Good morning to you. I have a long list. Another slow news day here. Bill i have a long list. Paul manafort, how closely is the president watching this trial that begins today . We havent discussed that in quite a while. I would note for your audience, bill, that the judge has very strictly instructed no mention of Paul Manaforts role in the Trump Campaign, no mention trump, russia or collusion. This trial obviously centers on matters that have nothing to do with the campaign. I think that even mr. Manafort as i read it had requested that there be no mention of his
