Transcripts For FOXNEWSW The Ingraham Angle 20180125 : compa

Laura company at my house, i understand you are a house painter. Sean comment on laura, we will play it for you. Laura get off my time just kidding. Welcome to the anger mangled from washington. We have a jampacked show tonight. One other type of show are we going to have . Conservative commentator ben shapiro. He just delivered a controversial speech, that means any speech, at the university of connecticut campus. The speech sent leftists into fits. Frothy fits of frenzy. He joins us exclusively to tell us what happened. And an intensifying showdown tonight between the Justice Department and the House Intel Committee over the release of that classified fisa memo. An Intel Committee member peter king is here to react. Plus, as the president s eyes, he is ready to talk with bob mueller under oath. On time from confidant roger stone says speaking with mueller would be a trap for the president. He joins us to explain why. But first, accountability in the special counsels office and a press that just doesnt care. Thats the focus of tonights angle. As soon as Robert Mueller was appointed special counsel in the russia investigation, politicians rushed to cover him with a blanket of invincibility. Have you seen anything in this investigation that would suggest he has a conflict . I havent. I sit on the Judiciary Committee along with senator , and i have not seen any evidence to suggest that. I do not at all believe that mr. Mueller has been compromised for his investigation. I think hes beyond reproach. I have a lot of admiration and respect for director mueller. Youve got somebody who, by all accounts, is an independent person. Somebody whos got lots of integrity. He enjoys very broad support in the senate both among republicans and democrats because of his long service as the fbi director, because of his record of respectable leadership as a senior federal prosecutor. Laura in other words, President Trump, dont you dare even think about coming close, even sort of maybe kind of firing mueller. A few months Later Congress rushed into propose legislation to insulate the special counsel from executive branch interference or termination. Republican proamnesty center tom tillis, along with liberal delaware senator chris coons introduced a bill that would allow mueller to challenge any removal in court. Senator Lindsey Graham and cory booker, wonder twin powers activate, they went even further. They sponsored a bill that would prevent the firing of mueller. Apparently he so perfect he could never be fired. Senators ted cruz and mike lee were properly skeptical about the constitutionality of any such moves such as that. Remember, mueller worked for the executive branch, after all. I have a question, why cant all federal employees challenge their firing . Of course this would be absurd. Setting aside whether it would be politically smart for President Trump to fire mueller, and it wouldnt be smart, he is the head of the executive branch and congress has no business interfering with eve of the firing or the hiring decisions of the executive branch. All they have is the confirmation process, senate confirmations. Otherwise, stay out of the business. So my question is why were these senators so eager to build up mueller and his team, and they were so eager to insulate them from executive Branch Oversight and ultimately perhaps termination . Thank god we have diligent congressman who do take their oversight responsibility seriously. Im talking about congressman devin nunes, matt gaetz, trey gowdy, Robert Goodlatte and peter king, who will join us in just a few moments. You dont want to miss this segment. Their determination to see that this investigation doesnt turn into some kind of star chamber. Its already turned up incredible thing so far. Missing or discussed thumb drives. Talk of deleting Text Messages. Talk of creating insurance policies against trump. Maybe even secret societies in the fbi. Meetings convened outside of the fbi. And of course all those missing texts that they may or may not be reconstructing. And by the way, speaking of these texts between peter strzok and his gal pal lisa page, we heard this today from the doj spokeswoman. There were just over 50,000 Text Messages between lisa page and peter strzok during the time period that the Inspector General is investigating. What we also know, for about a five month period those Text Messages never got into the fbi server. Obviously we are reviewing immediately how they didnt get into the server in the first place. Laura first of all, who has anything, that much to say to anyone that would account for 50,000 text . They must have really had a hopping relationship. There were reports, by the way, that the glitch that she referenced may have affected 35,000 fbi employees and all their cell phones. Different from what we heard a few days ago. But whatever the case, it prompts more questions now just about the basic competency of the fbi. Sorry, are we not even allowed to wonder what else peter strzok and lisa page said to each other about trump, flynn, comey, and maybe even the old hillary email investigation . Im sure it wasnt all 50,000 text of sweet nothings. Ive noticed a pattern here, maybe you have as well. The more we learn, and the closer Congress Gets to the truth, some of this underlying evidence, the more vicious the media attacks on those people who are seeking answers. Meetings offsite, secret societies. Anything you can tell me without having to kill me . This is nonsense, its just complete nonsense. Youre telling me that that Law Enforcement agency is treating people unequally because they have a political vendetta . If you will tell the American People that, thats what happens in third world dictatorships. That doesnt happen here. Republicans are talking about this secret Society Inside the fbi. They sound like crackpots. They will rue the day from going down this road and having this institution, part and have the kind of morale problems that could be longlasting down the road. And men who are they to look to . Laura certainly not to the head of the rnc, who was trashing the current president of the united states. Well, im just glad the democrats are finally, finally supporting Law Enforcement the fbi, you can never question them. Lets look back now. For years the left has indulged groups like black lives matter, the aclu and care, who reflexively impugn the integrity and character of police. Anytime somebody catches one of those unpleasant cell phone videos the police are too aggressive, they are racist, their antimuslim. You know the drill. But now that mueller, state versus federal, but mueller is targeting trump. Law enforcement, you cant question them. They cant do any wrong. If they should never be fired, they shouldnt even be question questions one would think that the media, some in the media would have a little bit of curiosity about, i dont know, the conflicts of interest in the special counsels office. If they distrust Law Enforcement and investigators on the state level so often, why do the feds get a pass . Well, there is without a doubt a deepseated animus, and that is putting it mildly, toward the president by key members of the mueller Investigative Team. And rather than confront the growing evidence, the left, they start demonizing members of congress. And anyone, frankly anyone, who dares to question the methods and the motives of the obama Justice Department and now the mueller gang. The black cloud that hangs over this russian investigation, let me tell you this, it wasnt created by fox news. It certainly wasnt created by talk radio. None of us hired jeannie reed, who previously worked for the Clinton Foundation and represented Obamas National Security advisor, ben rhodes. I will tell you this, fox news and talk radio did not appoint andrew weissmann. A democratic donor, he praised sally eights in that letter when she was fired by the president. I dont think fox news and talk radio appointed peter strzok either. I will tell you this, no amount of scapegoating is going to make this any better. Robert mueller could be the greatest guy, the smartest guy ever, but if the man cannot oversee his own team and remove the partisans, then you have to conclude he is either in over his head or hes just not good for this role, or his negligent in his duty. And that will compromise the ultimate findings of this investigation, whatever they may be. I also want to say this. Trumps team made some mistakes early on. I do not think, and ive said this before, it was smart to fire jim comey when needed. And it wasnt wise to talk talk to lester holt about the decision to fire jim comey. And if the story is true, it probably would not have asked acting fbi to direct or how he voted in the election, i wouldnt have done that either. The president has to be extra mindful given the fact that he had already kicked off the Intel Community with his promise of reforms, and of course some of his criticisms. You kick that deep state hornets nest and you are liable to get stung really bad. Today, the president told reporters, hey, im happy to talk to mueller. Are you going to talk to mueller . Im looking forward to it actually. You want to . Theres been no collusion whatsoever. There is no obstruction whatsoever, and im looking forward to it. I would love to do that and i would like to do it as soon as possible. I would do it. Laura i was listening to that audio. He sure seems like he has nothing to hide, and the president appears ready and willing to be held up to scrutiny by the mueller team. He wants to clear his name. But what about the men and women who are doing the scrutinizing . Who is going to hold them accountable . No one should be above the law. Not the president , not Hillary Clinton, and not the special counsels team. And thats the angle. Joining us now for reaction from new york is monica crowley, a senior fellow at the London Center for policy research. With me here in washington is attorney alan. You heard my take care. Everybody needs to be accountable. Take a shot. I think every buddy is accountable. I think your concerns are about the individuals participating in the actual investigation, which doesnt mean the investigation itself has a problem. There has not been an outcome yet, so why the big concern . If you are not guilty of a crime then why is there a problem with going through the process . Laura my concern is when you populate your Investigative Team with individuals who have been either loyalist to the Previous Administration or who actively were engaged in the hillary email investigation and actually helped edit comeys announcement of the nonindictment indictment, that that kind of entanglement is the mere appearance of the conflict of interest is not what you want an investigation. An appearance of a conflict in a case this serious is enough to shake the credibility of the investigation and im not saying that everyone on the team is bad, im not saying that. But if the shoe were on the other foot and Hillary Clinton were being investigated by a bunch of trump loyalists who had written terrible things about hillary and couldnt stand hillary and were texting their boyfriend about hillary, you would be on their show going crazy about them and i would actually say you have a point there. May be Hillary Clinton was a scapegoat for some trump supporters, but this is just a bunch of stories about an individual. Theres not a lot of paperwork to back it up. The fact that they also handle Clinton Emails doesnt mean that they can also handle this. This is what their duty is as attorneys to deal with the facts before them. The fact that they worked on prior cases have nothing to do with this case. If they are looking for the facts and thats what we are going after. Laura you think its okay for partisans to be working on an investigation when they were loyalist to the Previous Administration and worked on the exoneration of Hillary Clinton . If the shore of the other foot. I would ask the professionals. Laura what does that mean . They are people. They are not perfect. The only person for dominic perfect to walk the face of the earth, jesus christ. An apparent conflict or an appearance of a conflict in a case like this is not what you want to do. Bob mueller is the smartest person around, like he is the smartest guy who ever lived apparently, but he had no problem bringing in these people who hate donald trump, they despise the man. I dont know how you can be independent in your thought process if you hate him as much as they did. Got to get you in on this. Alan says they are professionals doing their jobs and im sure there are professionals in the investigation and the democrats say this is much ado about nothing. This is an investigation that needs to reach its conclusion and everybody is throwing a bunch of pixie dust up and they are hoping it goes away. It may in fact be true that this entire investigation was predicated on a lie about russian collusion, which was essentially a frame of donald trump. If these people never expected him to win. They expected Hillary Clinton to win so all of their possibly criminal and unethical shenanigans throughout the campaign to torpedo donald trump and then once he was elected, during the period of the transition to try to set him up on a russian collusion narrative, they thought that all of that evidence would go away. And guess what . Donald trump is not the president. That evidence is being uncovered left and right and thats why the democrats in the mueller team, those who have been corrupted according to the evidence as we know it so far, thats why they are so frantically trying to deflect and lie about not just with dated, but about the president as well. Laura i want you guys to both listen to something that adam schiff, also on the Intel Committee, what he set about this concern about the investigators. Why would you vote to not have the point was they didnt care what was in the underlying documents. They wanted to make a political statement. They wanted to feed the beast on fox news. They wanted to do what they could to derail the mueller investigation. Laura want to, they are talking about House Intel Committee wanting those pages, the synopsis, released to the public. They just want to feed the beast, they want to feed fox. They are trying to discredit the chairman, trying to discredit the House Intelligence Committee exposing a lot of this corruption and a lot of this evidence. I can tell you tonight, laura, based on one of my sources, that we will see all of these documents. Im a little concerned about why are we not seeing it now . Why do we need to wait to see it . The committee we will see them. I think the process should be bipartisan because the concert is bipartisan so why has only part of the committee already seen the memo and the rest hasnt . Furthermore, why has the doj not vetted the memo with its regards to national security, a primary issue of all this in the first place. It doesnt sound like a very sound. The attacks on chairman nunez in the House Intelligence Committee that is doing incredible work here. When they do talk about those who are attacking their investigation are trying to discredit their fbi and the doj and attacking the institutions is dangerous. The top hierarchy of the fbi and doj discredit in themselves. Where talk about the process. The one thing from all of this is barack obama. The idea that all of these people freelanced all of this than anything are not sure why we are talking about barack obama tonight. Laura we are out of time. The democrats have a chance to see this memo. They could all go to the secure room to read this memo. Only i think a few have. Im always for more sunshine, more transparency. Lets see what it is. It may maybe the republicans are over blowing it. Maybe its not a big deal. I would like to see it for myself. People seem really hot and bothered by it. We will see it. Laura thank you very much. Love to have you both back. We have so much more to tell you about on the fbi corruption and the Mueller Probe with roger stone and congressman peter king. But next, an exclusive live interview with ben shapiro, who just gave the first speech by a conservative on the uconn campus, and violence broke out the last time a conservative spoke there. Dont move. Berty mutual stood we when this guy got a flat tire in the middle of the night, so he got home safe. Yeah, my dad says our insurance doesnt have that. What . you can leave worry behind when liberty stands with you™. Liberty mutual insurance. Get ready for centrum microworkouts. The bottle curl. The twist n turn. The stretch n grab. The gummy squish. Centrum micronutrients fuel your body from the inside out. Grab a centrum and join in. Repeat daily. Running a Small Business is demanding. And thats why Small Business owners need more. Like internet thats up to the challenge. The gigspeed network from comcast business gives you more. With speeds up to 20 times faster than the average. That means powering more devices, more video conferencing, and more downloads in seconds, not minutes. Get fast internet and add phone and tv for only 34. 90 more per month. Comcast is building americas largest gigspeed network to give Justice Department<\/a> and the House Intel Committee<\/a> over the release of that classified fisa memo. An Intel Committee<\/a> member peter king is here to react. Plus, as the president s eyes, he is ready to talk with bob mueller under oath.

Laura under pressure tonight, the university of connecticut finally let students sponsor a conservative speaker on campus again. This is after violent protests erupted outside and inside the hall where the gateway pond and its spoke back in november. At the daily wires ben shapiro just wrapped up a speech hosted by the College Republicans<\/a>. Heres a sample. Something has to be done about a system where a few crazed leftists decide they dont want to hear somebody speak and for people from the outside who pay taxes to universities like this one cant get in. Its a great thing universities have people like me and yes like the person who is speaking opposite me on this campus to give a variation of ideas. Laura of those words so dangerous the university actually offered i kid you not counseling to students who might be upset even at the mention of the thought of his appearance. He looks like an unsuspecting guy to me. Lets ask the man himself. Appearing on the angle exclusively in a new segment we are calling backtoschool. Kind of a Rodney Dangerfield<\/a> thing. Did you traumatize snowflakes on campus tonight . You look so just innocent and nice, and they seemed very upset about the prospect of your arriving. You are in the stores campus, correct . Thats right. It was very intimidating. Beneath this innocuous exterior it lies the heart of a monster. I jumped into the audience, i ripped at least one guys throat out. In actuality none of those things happened of course. This is whats so funny. This is the last campus where they had to bring out dozens of security members, dozens of cops, the stadiums weres more oncall apparently because of what happened when lucian came to speak. Thats not rare. What i was at berkeley they had to bring hundreds of police officers. When i was at northwestern they bound the public from coming. When i was at the university of wisconsin of the front of the stage was taken over. When i was at cal state a near riot broke out. Tonight was actually relatively calm. I think a lot of that had to do with the fact that the university really did its job and getting a lot of security out there. Its cold, these are fair weather protesters. They will not show up when its 30 degrees. Part of it too i think is that the number of people who are allowed and is limited. If you are from an outside group you werent allowed to come even though there were all the Security Offices<\/a> available. Laura was a packed out . Was at a full auditorium . They could have given us bigger space. If there were about 500 seats, all of them full. But they did prevent people wanting to come in from the outside. I was told by the College Republicans<\/a> there were another 6700 people who were turned away. If you were a tax paying member of the public they wouldnt allow you. Laura new song like donald trump. I had 700 people outside and they couldnt get in. Im just teasing. There were 10,000 people outsid outside we have a clip we have a clip of a student who actually wanted to get in tonight. Lets watch. They basically said that theres open seats and also unclaimed wristbands, they will still not let us in to the actual event. Did they tell you why . No. They just said they are not the people to talk to. Theres nobody that will come in and talk to us and even if there is somebody inside there that could help us or could kind of sort this out, they are not going to come out and talk to us. What you make of that . They want us to go to this event. Why . Because its been shapiro. Laura i couldnt tell her my clip or by the look of the guy whether he was a friend or a foe. I was guessing foe but then at the end i said friend. I couldnt really tell. But apparently they were like poor people want to come in, you cant go at some point two of my brothers went to uconn so i know the campus. It was a long time ago but i know it quite well. It cant be that scary for them just to hear a conservative speak. It cant possibly. I dont think that it is. As i said in the speech, if you actually have to go Seek Mental Health<\/a> counseling because we have that im coming to campus, you probably need to Seek Mental Health<\/a> counseling for a number of of other issues that they have. At the security is the new way that censorship is taking place. As ive said, there are a bunch of campus is now where says we are happy to have the speaker, but were not going to allow people to come and actually have this. Thats what happened at berkeley. They rolled out the top half of the theater and prevented people who came sameday from attendin attending. Its not restricted to me, its happening for a bunch of conservative speakers around the country all in the name of safety. Anita hill spoke at uconn last week and it was completely open to the public. All we need to have as a few leftists who are nasty and make threats and then presumably the entire public is barred from coming in the name of safety, of course. Laura its like obamacare. You have access to care in theory, but you dont really have care. You are there, but you cant really hear you. I just have to reevent, i was like crying laughing, the diversity officer at uconn. In her letter that just went out before your speech we understand even the thought of an individual coming to campus with the views that mr. Shapiro expresses can be concerning and even hurtful. Please utilize the many campus Resources Available<\/a> if you should want to talk through your feelings about this issue, including my office, the Cultural Center<\/a> dean of students. I want to go pay her a visit and say ive had a tough day today and i really need just a hug. I just need a hug. You look good. You look like you had fun tonight. It was fun. And i will say this, there is no more useless title on campus than chief diversity officer, whose entire job is just to pretend a bunch of people who are too weak need to actually defend a point of view. Laura great to talk to you. If by the way, the department of justice is demanding congressman devin nunes not released a memo alleging surveillance abuses by the obama era fbi. I wonder why. House Intel Committee<\/a> member and a warm phase peter king joins us with reaction next. Whoooo. When it comes to travel, i sweat the details. Late checkout. Downalternative pillows. And of course, price. Tripadvisor helps you book a. Hotel without breaking a sweat. Because we now instantly. Search over 200 booking sites. To find you the lowest price. On the hotel you want. Dont sweat your booking. Tripadvisor. The latest reviews. The lowest prices. Laura really quick addendum from the previous tour we just covered. My friend gordon, a freshman at uconn just said i wasnt able to get into the shapiro event either. Everyone wanted to go. More conservatives on campus than people think. Thank you. By the way, the Justice Department<\/a> is asking to see a memo reportedly outlining serious wrongdoing at the fbi and Justice Department<\/a> under president obama. House intel chairman devin nunes is taking steps to declassify the memo summarizing the findings of his russian investigation. A letter from the Justice Department<\/a> charges that it would be extraordinary reckless tonight to release the memo without first giving the doj and fbi at the to review it. Lets sort this all out with someone who has read the memo, congressman peter king of new york. I thought you were going to be here with me tonight, congressman who serves on the Intel Committee<\/a>. Great to see you, how are you doing . Im doing great, laura, how are you . Laura im great. What does the Justice Department<\/a> and the fbi, they are suddenly all squarely about the release of this memo, what goes on . Its a fourpage memo put together by a very talented professional staff are on the committee, reviewed by all the republican members, made available to all members of the committee and voted out of the Committee Last<\/a> week to be made available to all the members of the house. If the findings very, very significant. I believe terrible mistakes, deliberate wrongdoing at high levels. Right now the Justice Department<\/a> what devin nunes plans on doing because over 200 members of the house looked at it, only about ten democrats, by the way. There is a climber by the public to see the memo. We will make sure there is nothing in there that is pretty much finished. If that will be done and then we will vote this week on releasing it. At that stage if we get a majority vote, which we will, it will go to the president of the united states. He will decide if it can be made public or not. If it does it will be made known to the public. This letter for the Justice Department<\/a>. I have Great Respect<\/a> for the fbi. I generally have Great Respect<\/a> for the Justice Department<\/a>. But we have gotten almost no cooperation from them at all over the last several months. We had to go to court to get documents we were entitled to. A long hard fight to get basic documents that we have an absolute right to see. We gave them this memo, but they would do, passed out all the friends in the media to tear it down before it even gets out there. Everything thats in that memo is from the Justice Department<\/a>. Information we have found. Theres no surprises there for them, they just want to be ready to attack it and they want to attack it. Make a preemptive attack on him. We are not going to let them. I have spoken to his staff people and he fully intends to go ahead. We are not going to show it to the Justice Department<\/a>. Laura knowing what you know now, you have read the memo, youve seen the evidence so far, do you have faith as of now in the upcoming results of this investigation knowing what you know now and what youve seen . Ive sat through i dont know whether its hundreds of hours ive been in there for probably 20 witnesses who have come before a committee and all of the major ones, i have sat there for seven, eight, nine hours. All the big names youve heard about. Ive been there for that. I have not heard one word yet indicating any collusion. I dont know if bob mueller has anything else, but he is talking to many of the same people. If they come out with any finding of collusion at all based on what ive heard, then i would say they are not doing the job. On the other hand, i think right now i believe the president s lawyers feel this going in the right direction with all the improprieties that went on, the fact that this investigation, i believe, should never have been started in the first place. I look upon it either intentionally or unintentionally as a hit job. The facts are that you have the leading Law Enforcement<\/a> organization in the world investigating a president ial candidate based on the flimsiest of evidence. I wouldnt even call it evidence. At the flimsiest rumors, thats what this was based on and thats a terrible precedent to set. You could do that to any candidate if you wanted to. When you bring the fbi into a political campaign, its wrong. Laura i want to play for you a cliff i watched this afternoon of a former rnc chief, michael steele. He was on msnbc and he was criticizing congress and anyone in the media who would cast dispersions on the fbi here. Lets watch. We have now set up a wholesale operation between the white house and capitol hill to sully the reputation of good men and women worked inside the fbi because of, as you noted, some emails. Yes they are problematic, but let the appropriate authorities ferret that out. To do what they are doing, the end game they are playing right now, what they dont seem to understand, it could blow up in their face just as much is a good sully the fbi. Laura response, congressman . We are talking about a handful of people at the top. If the fbi is an outstanding organization. People at the top who have not served the fbi well. I would say the rank and file of the fbi, they are concerned. Ive heard from retired fbi people who are shocked about whats coming out. To me the emails and Text Messages<\/a>, thats important. Thats really just an indication of this investigation from the start. It should never have been started. Its based on a false premise and its continuing right through whether were talking with the fbi, cia and others. This to me has all been a concerted effort to go after donald trump. A lot of reasons you could disagree with donald trump, but to say he was colluding with the enemy when there is no evidence there, to me is shameful. I think its significant that now its being leaked to the new york times. Talking about obstruction of deafness. Six months after the campaign was over. Laura executrix. We noticed the leaking right as things started turning really good for trump. The economy and the shutdown and then all the leaks came from the mueller team. Thank you so much, great segment. By the way, President Trump<\/a> makes a crucial decision on how to deal with the russian investigation, but roger stone says its exactly the wrong move. He will tell us why come right back after this break. Me. My symptoms were keeping me from being there. So, i talked to my doctor and learned humira is for people who still have symptoms of Crohns Disease<\/a> after trying other medications. And the majority of people on humira saw significant symptom relief and many achieved remission in as little as 4 weeks. Humira can lower your ability to fight infections, including tuberculosis. Serious, sometimes fatal infections and cancers, including lymphoma, have happened; as have blood, liver, and nervous system problems, serious allergic reactions, and new or worsening heart failure. Before treatment, get tested for tb. Tell your doctor if youve been to areas where certain fungal infections are common, and if youve had tb, hepatitis b, are prone to infections, or have flulike symptoms or sores. Dont start humira if you have an infection. Be there for you, and them. Ask your gastroenterologist about humira. With humira, remission is possible. Take off for mexico with expedia.

Laura as we mentioned earlier President Trump<\/a> said today he would be willing to answer questions from special counsel bob mueller. But trumps longtime confidant and former advisor roger stone says is it a try. Roger joins us from Fort Lauderdale<\/a> to explain. Roger, i bet you love tearing the president just ripped today about no problem, i will come and have a cup of coffee, unload my burden. How could this possibly be a trap, mueller wants the best for the president. Its understandable why the president s is confident. He knows hes done nothing wrong. A first year law student would tell you that this is an obvious perjury trap that Robert Mueller<\/a> is taking advantage of the president s loquacious nurse, never a man who suffers from a paucity of words. What is absolutely clear is that mr. Mueller has no evidence of russian collusion, so now we are all the way cycled back around to the dismissal of mr. Comey. He seeks to entrap the president in some kind of process crime, perjury, or obstruction. Therefore, the best advice that i could give the president , and i agree with judge Andrew Napolitano<\/a> on this is that under no circumstances should he grant mr. Mueller an interview. It is a suicide mission. Its a very clear perjury trap. Laura lawrence walshs invents investigation of iran contra, the special counsel there, walsh agreed not to interview president reagan in person, they submitted the president responded to the written interrogatories and thats how it went down. Here with the president of the star, special counsel, they have the videotaped testimony and so forth. Its kind of a different precedent, but what if they agreed to a narrow pathway, a narrow perimeter you were only going to ask about these two things. In a normal grand jury or normal interview setting for a normal client, no lawyer would allow you to go in, they would say where we will talk, but only about these two topics. What about narrowing the confines of the questions . Traditionally if the information can be gotten otherwise, the president would not be interviewed. A perfectly reasonable compromise to avoid a constitutional crisis would be for mr. Mueller to submit written questions and for the president to respond to them in writing. I dont see how any reasonable person could disagree with that. But for the president to walk into the blade, as it were and to try to pretend that mueller and his band of partisan pirates are just honest brokers, honest prosecutors just trying to ferret out the truth is disproved by everything we know so far. Now with an extraordinary number of Text Messages<\/a> from the fbi going missing, im old enough to remember when 18 and a half minutes of nixons white house tapes went missing and the Mainstream Media<\/a> and the liberals went insane. Where is that outrage today . If nothing, that proves the partisan nature of this inquiry and the fact that the department of justice under rod rosenstein, who i have advocated the president fire immediately for his conflict of interest, is not on the level. Laura john hughes said earlier today the following about what the president should do and how we should consider it. Lets watch. Actually think President Trump<\/a> should welcome the opportunity to speak to mueller and try to accelerate it because after hes done that will wrap up muellers probe. Laura i assume you disagree with that. Spoken like the neocon bushite he is. I think thats naive. I think thats all the president s lawyers are selling this to the president. But these are the same lawyers who urged him to waive executive privilege and turnover all records depending on the impartiality and the lack of virus of Robert Mueller<\/a>. It is a foolhardy piece of advice. It is a suicide mission. Under no circumstances should the president grant mueller a live interview. Clearly there is a compromise. Let them submit questions in writing, let the president respond in writing. Laura i think he couldve done better than ty cobb and john dowd. He needed his own dream team and eight he needed to raise the council bar. Take you so much. Terrific appearance as always. President trump give surprising remarks on dreamers today. Lindsey graham is a little too happy perhaps. Details ahead. Laura President Trump<\/a> today announced that he would be willing to consider citizenship for Daca Recipients<\/a> over a period of maybe 1012 years if he gets legislation with Strong Border<\/a> including funding for the wall, as well to an end to chain migration and an end of the visa lottery system. Do you hear that, lindsay . The white house clarified that the citizenship offer would only apply to the 800,000 Illegal Immigrants<\/a> enrolled in daca and that they would have to meet certain conditions. Amnesty supporters welcome to the president s statements. The matter Lindsey Graham<\/a> was practically doing the snoopy dance. There he is. He said today with this strong statement by President Trump<\/a> i have never felt better about our chances of finding a solution on immigration. Do not try to coop coops so. Meanwhile earlier this week we told about hhs, its still using taxpayer dollars to shuttle Illegal Immigrants<\/a> across the country. Thats fun. A lawsuit now could determine whether the federal government has the right to force states to accept refugees for resettlement and whether the feds are responsible for the state of this financial burden. If the states that are accepting them. A lot of news on this front. Don barnett just published a report on that subject of the refugees for the center for immigration studies. He joins us now from denver. Theres so much immigration news. Lets focus for a moment on the refugee issue. I have friends up in vermont and the burlington area, and they say that people arrive in burlington who are refugees and no one in that community is even told about it. They just kind of show up and show up at the Public Schools<\/a> and the residents of the last to know. Whats going on . Thats exactly right. There is virtually no consultation with state authorities about where refugees will be resettled, or little. There is some, but its inadequate. No provisions for the costs that the refugees bring to the local communities. Laura i have a question, how did they choose which localities get the refugees . It seems like we have an overload of refugees into places, maine and minneapolisst. Paul. Its kind of the same latitude. The maniacs in the minnesota people, they are wild. I dont understand this people. I love them, but they are a little crazy. Thats why i like them. Theres a lot there, a lot of somalis in both places. Omaha has a lot. Northern virginia has quite a few refugees. Do they throw a dart at the map . How did they figure this out . Basically its run by private nonprofits, and they set up shop in effect where welfare is the most generous, where jobs are available. In the case of maine, most of the refugees that are in maine arrive there after they arrive somewhere else. They first arrived in atlanta and then they moved to maine because it was better. Maine, interestingly enough, is a state that has tried to get out of refugee settlement. Has officially withdrawn. Laura they dont want any problem with it. Welfare gains, housing. Huge cost to the state. Sorry to interrupt here, but when you think about the refugees from, lets say northern africa, and they are relocated to minnesota or maine or wherever the catholic charities, or lutheran group, they are getting money from the feds. Assimilation has got to be a little bit trying in certain states, in certain climates, correct . Yes, its a very big issue. And the engagement with the refugee is very short. 38 months and it is simply inadequate. If there is no assimilation. Assimilation is, as a matter of fact, not in the lexicon anymore. Theres not even an attempt. Laura the idea of the melting pot, you will come and be american. They just smashed the pot in the water goes everywhere. Its wild. Thanks for that information.

Laura before we go, i would like to congratulate my friend, alex lazar, just confirmed by the senate today as the new secretary of health and human services. Hes come a long way. Deputy secretary under george bush, george w. Bush, supervising all of hhs operations and hes manned the 1 trillion budget and then he went on to be the president of lilly usa, the Largest Division<\/a> of eli lilly and general council. He clerked for Justice Scalia<\/a> and went to dartmouth college. Congrats. That is us for that is it for us tonight. Shannon bream takes it. Shannon pretty impressive. Laura take care.
