>> laura: the real frauds are the focus of tonight's angle. now you may have heard that there is a legal case playing out in new york involving the gop presidential front-runner. the real fraud doesn't involve overvaluing asset, the real fraud is what we witness from new york officials in the courthouse today. right off the bat, the judge, democrat arthur engoron allowed cameras in the room long enough for them to catch his beaming smile. it was weird. the fraudulent display continued when leticia james tried to publicly cleanse herself of the appearance of bias. >> no one is above the law, it is my duty to enforce it. >> laura: what we're seeing occur in realtime is rampant abuse of authority to advance a political vendetta. this was evident in 2018. >> laura: the real point here is if a trial like this is allowed to proceed, who will defend people against the likes of her? she's a partisan hack trying to compensate for her lack of talent with an abundance of vit riol. this entire trial is a fraud because to ms. james trump is a stepping stone from obscurity to ag and if gets a kwksz from the ag to the -- it wouldn't have helped her professionally, yet she thinks the rest of us are as stupid as she is and she tries her best elliot ness impersonation. >> committed fraud, justice will prevail. >> laura: of course justice is whatever the far left demands, she doesn't just want judge engoron to find him guilty of fraud, they want to drive donald trump and business out of new york completely. think about that. they want to force him to sell his real estate holding. in real estate, this is equivalent of putting someone in stock. trump called out fraud within state, federal and judicial system. >> the crime is against me because we have a corrupt district attorney, we have a corrupt attorney general and it all comes down from the doj, totally coordinated this in washington because i'm the leading candidate. >> laura: timing of the trial speaks to the real goal here, to keep trump off the campaign trail. >> sitting in the courthouse all day long instead of being in iowa, new hampshire, south carolina or other places i could be at. this is a horrible situation for our country, never happened before, this is election interference of 2024 and people of the country see it. >> laura: we'll examine the legal weakness in moment along with the 250 million fine being sought. the ongoing damage being done to credibility of our legal system cannot be understated, they are too busy salivating as their death by 1000 cuts way of defeating trump in 2024. >> precedented spectacle in new york today. it is easy to see why donald trump is so unhappy about this trial in addition to embarrassment, it hits at the core of the very identity that he has built up. he looks weak, whiney, sulking and pouting his way around court. >> laura: what selfish, silly people. what we're seeing is sdruksz of many people's faith in the system. this case is not about donald trump, this is about who gets to make big decisions for america and that shows that today and everyday for democrats, plutocratic donors and wholly owned media, democracien moos rule by unelected bureaucrats who agree with democrats. if you are republican, like mitt romney, who is generally comfortable and you run for president, they will attack you as a bad person and do whatever to beat you, they won't try to destroy you or your family. if you try to take real power away from bureaucrat, they will try to destroy your life and put you in jail and they'll keep doing it until they are beaten so badly they have no choice but to back down. hope for the country that happens in 2024. that is the angle. joining me now is mollie hemingway and david schoen. what do the people need to understand in layman terms about how lame this is and how dangerous this is? >> let's me focus on the danger of it. you hit the nail on the head with that and the word ecosystem. brought under 6312, giving the attorney general a partisan elected official, in this case, extremely partisan, incredibly broad power to ruin a life, ruin a career, etcetera. then the case is assigned to a trump-hating judge, politically elected and if you read a news article that appeared this weekend, he hassan tip athy against real estate. the judge no one asked for a jury trial, that is disingenuous, it is true, president trump's lawyers could have asked for a jury trial. there is case in 2011 that said under this executive law, 6312, there was no right to a jury because it is asking for injuncturive relief, not damaging. they are talking about stripping donald trump of hundreds of millions, taking away his international brand. today it seems the judge got a glimpse of what is going on here. you are right, it is dangerous. >> laura: appearance of corruption in this entire proceeding. mollie, last night on "60 minutes," attorney general garland denied there is any or a whiff of bias in prosecution. watch. we do not have one rule for republican and democrats, we don't have one rule for foes and another for friends. we have one rule and that one rule, we follow the facts and the law and reach decision required by constitution and protect civil liberties. >> mollie: this was propaganda aired last night. merrick garland is participating in democrat campaign strategy of indicting trump in the hope to get quick convictions and interfere in the election. that is objectively true. they are participating in this campaign strategy. he said they don't have one group for one and another for the other. look at hillary clinton, secretary of state, mishandled classified information, they came up with of noel legal standard to let her off the hook and go after president trump on -- >> laura: or hunter biden, they are trying to deny it is his laptop. >> mollie: same time the sitting president has issues here, it is not, it is so absurd to say there is not two standards when we are living this every single day and he should not be allowed to have a flippant response. >> laura: "60 minutes" was for the doj. >> mollie: people have lost confidence in our doj. the fact donald trump is doing well in the republican primary and head-to-head match ups against joe biden show the american people do not view this as legitimate. >> laura: that is the damage fauci did to public health in our country and everything we heard about the pandemic, that was called into question and now doing the same thing with the doj. mueller's former buddy wiseman doesn't feel they have a case. listen to this. >> the trial is over, the judge already ruled on the first claims against donald trump and his sons and businesses. he's already lost with huge financial consequences that this judge imposed. >> laura: you can sense the glee coming from thattoduous creature's voice. >> i don't credit anything andrew weisman says. the judge lost all credibility when he said mar-a-lago should have been valued at 18 million, he left out a few zeros. not a person on the face of this earth would think mar-a-lago was valued at 18 million, that is one example. back to timing, you mentioned in your opening monologue, that proved the point about this agenda going on here. donald trump built his brand around the world, it is not coincidental this is brought during election season temperature is intentional and we see all rules suspended. there is case law that says a prosecutor can't speak this way to influence the public. attorney general james and district attorney in new york have gotten away with anything they want to say and then they scream bloody murder and want a gag order and put out speaking indictments. >> laura: trump can't speak, but they never shut their mouths, staggering. >> mollie: based on the belief that donald trump needs to have his own income of all the different people in his family destroyed because they politically disagree with him thachl is not american. >> laura: he doesn't deserve a company or address in new york, they want to drive him out of new york city and bankruptcy and put him in jail so he can't become president. this is crazy land. i think people are on to this. fox news alert, fantastic news, nine-year-old charlotte sena has been found alive. molly line is live with the details. >> laura, the best possible news at this point in time, 48 hours into the investigation, word from the new york city police that sena has been located and in good health. they have an active suspect custody. i have word that her family is on the way to reunite with charlotte. hundreds of people poured out everything they have, hit the ground in this area of upstate new york to search swamps and waterways, 400 rescue personnel, mountain rescue teams have been looking for her since saturday evening when she went outs with children she knew. she wanted to take one more loo moreau state park in this area of new york when she disappeared. within 15 minutes her family was looking for her. they find her bicycle and the mother calls 911 and charlotte is found alive, a tremendous outcome. state police talked about assets being poured in and we watched them disburse bus loads of people. 34 volunteer fire agencies involved in going through thick brush and wood and water lands and one thing the governor said, she talked about communications they were analyzing in the beginning of this investigation. we know the first minutes and hours are critical. we don't know specifically what led investigators to this suspect or what the charges will be, we're waiting to hear that, best possible outcome, charlotte sena has been found alive and the amber alert has been cancelled. >> laura: every american and mom hears the stories, so great. thank

first black lesbian to openly serve in congress and the first resident of maryland to represent the state of california in congress. well, emily's list quickly deleted lives in maryland from butler's biojust before midnight last night but it was too late. in won of her first moves as senator designate she changed her voter registration yesterday to california in l.a. county. joining me is chris bedford for the common sense society and ari fleischer former white house press secretary and fox news contributor. ari, butler's team told the angle in part that she has been a california homeowner since 2011 in addition to her home ms. butler has another place in l.a. where she will be residing. so many homes. some choices. >> let's just stipulate is it doesn't matter. when you are in california and you are a democrat, you can do whatever you want. now, as for her residency, it's interesting to me. none of the four people mentioned for senate candidacy, her, now serving, appointed by the governor. and the three democrats running? none of them, none of the four were born in california. now, at least adam schiff and barbara lee moved there as children and they both went to college there. so i'm kind of curious if schiff and lee are going to make it an issue against her if she decides to run in 2024 that butler is not really a californian. moved their later in life and moved away. she is a ping-pong ball. now she is back. >> laura: chris? >> this something i'm envious the gavin newsom and the democrats right now. i wish republicans could take a lesson on how vicious this is. senator dianne feinstein has been dead for 24 hours and they appoint a black lesbian who is devoted her life to killing babies in the womb. so say what you will. they please their constituents. they take care of their voters. and take care of people who give them money. look at republicans who do we get? luther strange? kelly loeffler? these are the kind of people that republican governors give to their candidates. newsom doesn't care if she is from california or not. he gives the base what they want. rewards them. doesn't hold them in contempt like the g.o.p. does all the time. >> laura: this is what butler said about republicans last year on the issue of abortion. watch. >> what is consists tent is that they are determined to take away freedom from people in this country to make decisions about their own body and to ensure that they, themselves, elected officials, have the power and control to make decisions for every woman in this country. >> laura: ari, she is just a rank, partisan radical, perfect for california. it's a shock that 500,000 people have left there. >> yeah. isn't that exactly right, laura? you know, if you are a u.s. senator, you need to wait two years before can you become a lobbyist. now we can have a lobbyist who can immediately become a california senator. and in this case you have somebody who is a lobbyist who believes in abortion right up to the day before the hour before birth. that's what emily's list does. the group that she ran. they are the most radical of the pro-abortion groups that are out there. but that's in tune with the modern day democratic party. smarry abortion candidates you get senator butler. >> laura: the possibility that democrats such a whole on the border question that there would be some movement or some perhaps policy tweak on the part of biden that they could point to as oh, we're hearing you. we are addressing the problem. and, yesterday's, i believe it was yesterday, hochul spoke out and i want to play this soundbite about what democrats are doing on immigration. >> we want them to have a limit on who can come across the border. it is too open right now that is a real problem for new york city. 125,000 newly arrived individuals. and we are being taxed. >> laura: chris, i mean, they can't take anymore, they say he. they want all to go to south dakota, north dakota, montana all the red states. >> what they meant -- she was fame -- infamously emily lazarus rest's pony poem at the bottom of the statue of liberty saying new york is open. what she meant by give us your poor and hungry. she meant give texas, give mexico, give anyone except for us. illegal immigration is an easy thing to stand on the' soapbox about. right thing what our built on et cetera et cetera. much more difficult than the reality on the border. that's why we had elon musk going down there and livestreaming from the border. you had reporters from other networks saying how dare he go down there. how dare he? is he a citizen and people are lying about what going on there the reality being felt in new york. on the way to the studio today there was an obvious biker gang hanging out of what used to be the d.c. homeless shelter. clearly all new illegal immigrants. whole face of the city in that area is starting to change even washington, d.c. it's being felt in the blue cities. >> laura: the penal are now making their voices heard. ari, maybe a few years ago people didn't think this was going to bubble up to become one of the sen mall issues of 2024. i think that's changed. i think people feel the change. i think people don't want it and they said we didn't vote for it. this is not what we thought. meaning kind of mainstream democrat voters that they were going to get when they voted for biden. >> actually, laura, you, of course, you were at the forefront of that. you were one of the people who did see that very early in a republican party that was changing on this issue. it's absolutely right. it's a moral issue. i mean, either we are a nation of laws with borders or we are not. and the democrats have lost the ability to make a moral distinction between someone who comes here illegally and legally. to them, it doesn't matter. to most americans it does matter and that's why this is assailane probably 14 million. quickly gaetz challenging mccarthy for the speakership. >> newt gingrich pushed back really hard over the weekend on social media saying this is a self-inflicted wound on the part of the republican party. agreeing with gaetz on the spending issue but saying you don't have the votes yet. so what is this ultimately going to accomplish? your view? >> i'm not too sure it's going to accomplish that much. there is a lot of real principled opposition to mccarthy. go someone like chip roy. what is going on between mccarthy and gaetz seems like a personal grudge. >> laura: thoughts on that quick? >> i think it's nihilistic. i don't know what they seek to accomplish. whoever is going to be the next speaker they are going to try to vacate that person. anybody who has to make any agreement or compromise, they are against. you can't vote with a five vote majority and speak like you have a 50 vote majority. republicans only have five. >> laura: you have to have more votes. you have to get power back. until you get the votes, you can't make a lot of these seminole decisions. ari, and chris, thank you. we got our hand on congressman jamaal bowman on ways to defeat future house votes we will reveal that list. what did skipping the debate actually could to trump's support among the voters? it might shock you, next. ♪ [alarm] >> i don't know why this got so much attention i was literally in a rush to go vote that's all it was. >> laura: that just proves that mr. bowman is as bad an actor as a congressman. he is a former principal if a student set off alarm and said i was just in a hurry. he would have added for suspension. for in-depth analysis we should check in with the savants at "the view." >> if you are not looking because it's a door that's normally open. did you go and press a button. >> so, yes, sometimes you are freaking out, you are in an elevator and you are pressing all the buttons. >> laura: come on, sunny, you are giving him ideas for the next time he needs to delay a vote. what do you think? that gets me thinking a little bit. what other pranks can congressman bowman try for the next go around? pull a kevin mcallister on the doors leading to the house floor, i guess. >> ahhhh. what? >> yes! yes islamic. >> laura: that would hurt matt gaetz. or delay speaker mccarthy from getting into his office. >> let's go. let's go. >> laura: bowman could hide the printed version of the bill so no one could read it. >> jim. >> what's up, buddy. >> this is not funny. why is my stuff in here. >> that's weird. >> i'm not paying for my own stuff. >> laura: and if all else fails he could use the chairs on the house floor to test some airbags. [explosion] [laughter] >> laura: that's some special adjustments for certain members of congress here. we always knew most members of congress were full of hot air. we should be clair to congressman bowman. don't try these things at home or in the house. you know the saying whatever doesn't kill you is going to make you stronger. so far that seems to be the case with donald trump. the more that they indict, the more the country seems to turn right. and now, another indicator, trump's decision to skip the second g.o.p. debate not only didn't hurt him, it boosted him in at least one poll. that according to a new morning consult survey. ahead of the debate trump was pulling at 58% of g.o.p. primary voters. but after the debate he pulled at 63%. as for the other candidates, desantis, ramaswamy, haley, pents, their numbers dropped after the debate. so much for those breakthrough moments. joining me now tom bevan, co-founder of real clear politics. the conventional wisdom, tom, is that trump was taking a big risk for not showing up but he jumps. so is he kind of like the gladiator and all the other characters in the arena are kind of the b team? is that what the voters are seeing or what? >> i think so. i mean, look, in hindsight, obviously he made the correct decision. and his decision was look i'm not going to get on a stage who is are polling 50 points below me and have to mix it up with them. it didn't hurt him after the first debate and as you mentioned in this one poll, he actually even went up. and i think in the second debate, skipping that second debate was ivan smarter on his part because the counter programming was so effective because all those candidates are squabbling on the stage and then there is trump at a rally talking about the auto workers and trying to sort of make that connection about the economy, electric vehicles, all those things. he has been very savvy and very smart. i think that's why his lead has been as strong and durable as it has been. >> laura: that line of his no matter what you get in the next week or two or three, they are coming to assassinate you and they are going to take your jobs. that was chilling. i mean, people the speech -- i didn't think so. that line was devastating. and that kind of cut to the very heart of the auto industry which is, you know, the lifeblood of michigan and frankly so much of our industrial base. >> yeah. and that, again, it's one of the reasons that i think trump has -- we have seen as you mentioned the indictments. did you go back and look at our real clear politics average on the day that he was indicted back in the first indictment, which was march 20th 30th. at 46% in our average, ron desantis was at 30%. two weeks later, he was over 50% and his lead ballooned up over 20 points and he has gotten stronger progressively ever since then. and the data supports that the "wall street journal" poll that came out last week said that every successive indictment is being seen by the american public and republican voters in particular as being more political and having less merit. >> laura: now, wouldn't it be very odd if by this time next year the democrats are kicking themselves that they went down this road of election or campaign prevention by indictment? this idea that indict, indict, tie him up in court? what if it just backfires? could be the biggest miscalculation if you view this all of a piece one of the biggest miscalculations in american history? >> it could be. and certainly had hasn't hurt him in the republican primary. now, i think democrats think in the general election it will be a different matter and they will be running ads but, again, we will see how that all plays out. so far and there were people in the democratic party who were warning against this. they saw this coming. that trump has broken every political rule. every political convention thus far. >> laura: r.f.k. getting in the race can run as an independent, could that cut both ways hurt and help trump? >> yeah. we don't have any data and i'm dying to see exactly if the poll pollsters have going to put him an independent and see who he draws from. the conventional wisdom biden. biden's numbers are so much softer than trump's. again, his version of liberal populism could pull some votes from trump and in a race that's going to be this close in some of these key swing states a few thousand votes could make a difference. >> laura: r.f.k. thinks he will actually pull some of the trump voters on his side is that possible? >> yeah, sure it absolutely is possible. we will have to see how this plays out. i'm waiting to see. we don't have any data on this yet. we only have data showing that r.f.k. is only about 15% in the democratic primary. are all those voters -- if all those voters that, are self-described democrats, vote for him, that will really hurt biden. >> laura: they are scared of cornell and scared of old r.f.k. this is wild, tom. great to see you in person. beautiful pink tie. taylor swift takes over the nfl, but is she really the antihero?
