support what would be the destruction of this economy, we are all needed, its hands on deck. biggest choice election in our lifetime, let not your heart be troubled. if laura ingraham starts right now. i worked so hard that our, i'm exhausted. rush was great. he's great. >> laura: any hour of the day, people forget, you are on three hours a day, i used to be on three hours a day and then i got sanity. any hour of the day, you call hannity and his monologue is going. >> sean: it's amazing, this is a phenomenon. talk radio is the number one format in all of radio, he starts in 1988, there are less than 200 talk stations -- we have thousands.

it is mind numbing. he took a lot of those hits and i think him and trump have that same quality -- fearlessness and willingness to get hit and fight for what you believe in. republicans need to learn from that. >> laura: they are human time -- >> sean: you and tucker, i have to have your flank. >> laura: great show as always always. i'm laura ingraham, this is "the ingraham angle" from washington tonight. we have an amazing show for you. two angles on last nights debate including the real take away from the attacks on former president obama. mollie hemingway, frank luntz, and our body language expert are back with everything you might not have initially picked up. why do folks like jim comey and hillary clinton continued to get away with saying things you would never get away with,

military men and women never get away with, joe digenova answers that question. cornel west and dr. drew pinsky are also here. first, radical renegades gone wild, that's the focus of tonight's first angle. just last week, nancy pelosi assured us that any disagreement in her own party was just a family squabble. >> i have some level of confidence and joy in seeing diversity in our caucus. in a family you have a difference but you're still family. >> laura: more like the corleone's or the manson's -- watching the debate it didn't have a feel of a family reunion to me. a majority of the democrats on stage trashed the recent

standard-bearer barack obama. he's one of the most beloved political figures on the planet but he is written off as a cautious technocrat who was unable to deliver the fundamental change, the radicals really wanted and still want. now aoc plus three have led to the reappraisal of their leftist activism. remember when i said back in january, conservatives ignoring her leadership in the democratic party do so at their own peril. >> i think it's a mistake to not take her seriously, to brush her off as a flash in the pan or upstart. she was as close to a thought leader as a democrat party has today. >> laura: i saw where this was going at a lot of you did as well. now we see the radical ideas filling the 2020 democrat debate stages. climate hysteria, open borders, free health care and opposition

is simply not permitted. >> decriminalize, that is the whole point. >> they are not criminals, i believe we should have a civil violation. >> raise your hand if your government plan would provide coverage for undocumented immigrants. >> there's a thing in my community, you're dipping into kool-aid can be don't even know the flavor. >> it looks like one of us has learned the lessons of the past and one of us hasn't. >> laura: castro calls it a lesson but what he really means is he and the base of the party have been dragged to the left by aoc plus three and the new left does not want energy independence for america, it wants a $93 trillion green new deal that will and they said it last night -- biden ended up saying it, banning cars, planes, cows, literally taking america back back to the dark ages.

>> the greatest threat to humanity's global climate chang change. >> the survival of humanity on this planet and civilization as we know it is in the hands of the next president. >> by 2030, we will have passed the point of no return on climate, we also need to start moving our people to higher ground. >> laura: i want to go to higher ground. how far they have come from obama and his insignificant paris accord. now obama is unfazed by these attacks on his legacy. at least that's what the sources told cbs news. if that is true, it makes some sense because obama under saw one of the most liberal administrations ever, it was considered radical a few years ago. today, a little different -- she's a very wealthy man, worth 40 million, 100 million, he pals around with the global elites, jet sets around the world to

lavish events. critiquing everyone else's carbon footprint so i can see why he's not too bothered by the criticism between those hot stone massages. perhaps the party should be, even if biden gets the nomination in 2020, the trajectory of the party has moved far beyond the radicalism of obama and even farther away from america. in moments, part two of my angle will explore how obama has been hoisted on his own petard. but first i want to bring in mollie hemingway, senior editor at "the federalist" and a coauthor of the fantastic new best-selling book justice on trial. there it is. in the makeup room yesterday before we came on i said for them to be the radicals that they want, they want radical change, they will have to go after obama and a very learned

person said they will never do that. literally, i said they are attacking obama. >> they were going after everything about his legacy including his signature policy achievement. i think the issue is his real legacy was the election of donald trump, it makes him extremely angry, they are unable to talk about that so instead they talk about their disappointment with policy issues. that's why joe biden the only candidate defending the obama administration, a striking turn from a few years ago. >> laura: i'm going to get into that but the amazing thing is it's been a short period of time since he left office two years ago. high personal approval rating, although his policy accomplishments one after the other had fallen into disarray, they couldn't launch the obamacare website -- remember that?

now the party has gotten so impatient. we aren't messing around on the edges, we want to tear the system down. that's where it is today. >> it's part of the progressive approach that doesn't want to acknowledge there are differences of opinion, there might be people with different ideas that it would be proper to reason with them. there's a lot of brute force you see on the left and you see it in the squad in terms of how they want to accomplish things but it's drifting into the rest of the field. >> laura: a former obama spokesperson thought obama would be fine with all of this. >> when people did bring him up, they were criticizing him -- if that was the right strategy to make sure donald trump wasn't in the white house, he would be leading the charge to say attack me, that's fine. i want one of you to be in the white house. >> laura: i don't buy that for one millisecond. i think he thinks are you guys

kidding me? >> i don't think anyone believes he would be fine with this type of criticism and he obviously is playing a pretty central role in this race. it's been beyond obvious that he is not as supportive as his former running mate as his former running mate would like them to be. they did not think joe biden would be able to carry this all the way to 2020 so they want to be involved. i'm curious to see how many more attacks will be on obama. >> laura: he's going to make like six phone calls in georgia and you're going to know who's going to win the state of georgia. he had that much power and yet they are playing this interesting game but it's where they had to go. trump went after the bushes, he took them out. i love them as people but their policies didn't work. he had to do that, romney wouldn't do that. he wanted to be the old bush party and shoehorn it in, trump said iraq was wrong, china

policy bad, immigration bad. >> it speaks to how unique he was, he was able to be a radical politician that gave off an appearance of being moderate. >> laura: what did obama have they don't have? charm, charisma, he dominated a stage, he lit up the stage. he lifted up. i'm saying this is a political observer, i didn't like his policy -- i don't think anyone came close to that. >> last night was boring to watch. you can see that in the numbers, they aren't getting a lot of people interested in them and there's no way to fight the fact these people are not exciting. the ones who are exciting are extremely radical. >> laura: al sharpton was put upon about this, watch. >> this whole suicide mission of going after barack obama smells like desperation and i think it certainly shows that some of them are not ready for where

they are. >> laura: i think he was looking for the words prime time but obama also warned about this last april saying this is not going to be good for the party. where does this end? this has got to be joe biden's to take even with his flubs and all of that, if i had to bet right now i would still say it has to be biden. >> i would assume it won't be biden because the obama don't want to be biden. he survived but he survived barely in a lot of people all they care about is the ability to beat donald trump. there wasn't a lot of vision or hope. >> laura: i thought it was doom and gloom, the most optimistic was biden who was saying let's do obama 3.0. that was pretty good for us, we were happy. >> they're going to have to figure out how to take the excitement of those radicals and combine it with the moderates who can actually appeal. >> laura: john delaney isn't going to be the nominee.

kamala harris, that was a disaster for her last night. they built her up into this joan of arc figure. >> people kept talking about how joe biden took all these hits, kamala harris took them and unlike joe biden she was unable to respond. >> laura: she kept saying that's not true, great fact-checking. great to see you tonight. obama on the outs? that's the focus of tonight's angle, part two. it seems like yesterday when the obama glow appeared would last forever. >> ♪ i ♪ am so in love with you

>> laura: i love how he milks the applause and looks around. he and michelle became global superstars, inspired millions of americans and of course the other global superstars. >> i was at the u.n. and i heard our president say climate change is the most important issue facing not only this generation but to future generations. >> it made me feel hopeful and proud to be an american. ♪ barack hussein obama >> laura: last night the 2020 candidates were singing a different tune. with our sights trained on joe biden, they decided to pick up key aspects of the obama-biden legacy. >> this mythology that all these folks are in love with the insurance. >> i'm going to go back to president biden because your plan does not cover everyone in america. >> everyone should have access to health care, it's a human

right. >> my response is obamacare is working. >> i asked the vice president did he use his power to stop those deportations. >> open borders as a right wing talking point and i'm frankly disappointed that some folks including some folks on this stage have taken the bait. >> we sat together in many meetings, i never heard him talk about any of this when he was secretary. >> laura: the candidates try to back off a little of that criticism but the marker had already been laid down. >> i miss obama. i miss her husband too. [laughter] he is our statesman and anybody who was an executive, he isn't perfect. i hope he's sitting here he would tell you i made some mistakes. we are having an honest conversation about an administration that was

incredible. >> laura: nice try, bad joke. you can't have it both ways. even though elizabeth warren then bernie sanders weren't as explicit during that first debate, they feel the same way. as talented a politician as he was, as attractive a candidate as he was, barack obama didn't deliver in critical areas for the progressives. remember when he said this about nafta? >> do you scrap nafta fix-it? >> i would immediately call the president of mexico and the president of canada to try to amend nafta. >> it is absolutely true that nafta was a mistake. >> laura: he never did anything about it but trump did. and what about this golden oldi oldie? >> never again will the american taxpayer be held hostage by a bank that is too big to fail. >> laura: as noted in bloomberg "businessweek," two years after

president barack obama vowed to eliminate the danger of financial institutions that are too big to fail, and the nation's largest banks are bigger than they were before the financial meltdown. thank god for those bailouts. then there was this classic. >> if you like your doctor, you will be able to keep your doctor, period. if you like your health care plan, you will be able to keep your health care plan, period. no one will take it away, no matter what. >> laura: we all saw what happened and we all felt it. more doctors retired, higher out-of-pocket costs, higher deductibles and many americans received policy cancellation notices. then there was a time obama promised america shovel-ready jobs lobbying for that $830 billion stimulus bill and a few years later, he said this. >> shovel ready was not as shovel ready as we expected. >> laura: i love how they are

laughing, what's a few billion dollars among friends? big deal. from the outset, president obama promised hope and change and democrats were members summarized mesmerized. for all the nobel prize in appearance on ellen, what he delivered was president donald trump. the liberal's worst nightmare. ever since, the party has been rising and venting, buoyed by the 2018 midterms but still vexed by the man who robert mueller couldn't take down. now they are finger-pointing and its ugly. barack obama shouldn't be surprised at the party has moved to the extremes on issues like the green new deal and reparations -- he talked a good game but remember when this went down? or how about this? when activists blamed police and racism and is tragic deaths, the

white house fanned the victimhood narratives. >> a deep distrust exists between law enforcement and communities of color. some of this is the result of the legacy of racial discrimination in this country. >> laura: speaking of troubling, there was this punishing line from obama urging hispanics to vote in 2012. >> if latinos sit out the election instead of saying we are going to punish our enemies, then it's going to be harder. >> laura: that reminds me of this. >> you see anybody in a department store, at a gasoline station, you get out and you tell them they are not welcome. >> laura: obama shouldn't be surprised, no one should be surprised that the left is really angry and whipped up. obama himself planted the seeds of their discontent.

by the time he left office, this was a cnn headline. take it in. democrats should not be surprised that obama himself isn't liberal enough anymore for today's democratic party. president obama appeared to be a dream candidate but many feel on the left that they are living in a nightmare. their rage will likely dominate the democratic party for many years to come. that is the angle. moments away, frank luntz is here with the words and phrases that mattered most from the debate and our body language expert is here to break it all down. awkward faces weird gestures, and touches that mattered too, stay there. this is hal. this is hal's heart.

it's been broken. and put back together. this is also hal's heart. and this is hal's relief, knowing he's covered. this is hal's heart. and it's beating better than ever. this is what medicare from blue cross blue shield does for hal. and with easy access to quality healthcare, imagine what we can do for you. this is the benefit of blue.

>> laura: you heard it, i laid it out in the two angles. the one thing the democrats made clear in the second round of debates as there is a clear divide between the radicals and joe biden. here not to break down the words and phrases that mattered is poster frank luntz. i want to start with biden, he's being called the moderate one but there was one radical suggestion, watch. >> i have the only plan that

gives reasonable prices flat out. number two, we should put some of these insurance executives in jail for the 9 billion opioids they sell out there. >> laura: what about that? >> did you hear the audience reaction to it? i was there in the hall for both debates and i want to make it clear to the viewers this is not a fight for the soul of the democratic party, that fight is over. the hostility of these democratic candidates to corporate america, to ceos to those who have been successful is significant. the language i heard in the last 48 hours is language i've never heard from any mainstream democrat, anytime you want anticorporate, anti-ceo, anti-success, the audience lit up with applause. >> laura: i want to move on to night 1 and something said by bernie sanders in warren that struck you, watch.

>> our biggest problem is corruption, it is a giant corporations that have taken our government and holding it by the throat and we need to have the courage to fight back against that. >> anybody here who thinks corporate america gives one damn about the african-american worker, you're mistaken. stand up and take on the greed and destruction of the ruling class. >> laura: isn't that what obama said he was going to do? >> this is so much more extreme. holding the government by the throat, it's graphic, it's visual. i say every ceo who's watching right now and every corporate executive, they are after you. they're blaming you, they are holding you accountable. i attended the sei you rally and what they kept on saying was no peace, no justice. no peace, no justice. you are going to have labor

unrest over the next year. you will have continued divide to corporate america and its people, the tension in the workforce will be far greater. there's a lesson here that economic freedom is under direct attack and i don't mean to overstate it but it is significant. >> laura: that embattled nyc mayor bill de blasio, he was ranting a lot last night but this moment really stood out, watch. >> the rich have gotten richer and they paid less and less in taxes, it cannot go on this way, we will even up the score and we will pass the tax the hill oute wealthy. this has to be a party that says we are going to tax the wealthy. >> laura: he said it twice just so you understand.

>> the audience erupted in applause, that is best moment among democrats. this is not just about politics, this is not just about winning the democratic nomination. this is about changing the structure of the economy in the united states and they are determined to turn it upside down. i've got to tell you, i've been following this since 1992, i've never heard candidates this extreme, i've never heard candidates this hostile to economic freedom and they have the base of the democratic party absolutely behind them. >> laura: they are antifreedom on what kind of car you drive, whether you can fly somewhere, as long as they are able to fly to their stupid conferences that's okay. the rest of the people, they're going to have to go on little green scooters. fantastic to see you tonight. it wasn't just the words that made these debates cringeworthy.

it was the candidate's body language, how we hold themselves tells us a lot. tonya, we couldn't squeeze you in last night. you noticed a particular way that andrew yang was engaging with the audience, let's watch. >> raise your hand if you've seen stores closing where you live. >> laura: you say these gestures are smart, why? >> he's instructing you. when he goes raise your hand, he's telling you what to do and you follow that first instruction and you tend to follow what you tend to do next. if once you yes someone, you tend to yes them indefinitely. we follow those gestures with our eyes. when somebody moves around a lot we follow those hand gestures. >> laura: he is very -- he

locks on. when he does something you pay more attention to it. >> it's beautiful the way he does it, it's choreographed. >> laura: i want to viewers to watch this moment we saw from joe biden. it seems like he is actually laughing. harris was responding to him, what does that mean? engaging with what looks like laughter when another person is talking. >> he pivoted towards her and then he laughed but then he said something that struck a chord and may be two seconds later after this clip ends, he turns around and looks down. she says something that doesn't bother him so he is allowing himself to look towards her and then when she says something he doesn't like he turns back around and looks down. that's a sign that she said something that hit a sore spot. >> laura: i think again he had the target on his back last night.

at one point, senator booker made this obvious gesture to biden after his many interruptions. >> i didn't interrupt you, please show me the respect. >> laura: he kept doing that, what does that hand motion, movement tell us? >> he's engaging right there. biden tries to interrupt and cory booker does two things, the first thing he does as he touches him, touching as a dominant status move. he touches him but he also puts up his hand like a stop sign. he puts up the stop sign, he touches his hand which is a dominant gesture and he breaks eye contact right there. that's his way of disengaging and saying i have the floor here, you need to give me a moment and let me finish my statement. >> laura: when you are explaining it, i'm watching it for the first time because i didn't notice. finally, there was this really telling pause from

senator gillibrand. >> to the people of michigan. >> laura: are we being unfair? was she not too confident? >> i think she held her own, i think she did well. there was a few times she was humming too many times but in addition to that, she tends to show her anxiety or her lack of confidence, that is called displacement activity. when you do this, what you are trying to do is regain control. you feel like you are being taunted or online, you need to grab something to regain control of yourself and she blinks a lot. those are two things that tell you when she's feeling discomfort. >> laura: the microphone becomes the rudder. >> it's almost a self modification gesture people do. >> laura: fascinating, we appreciate you.

great former fbi director jim comey is joining a long list of powerful people who have avoided government prosecution, why is that? alan dershowitz and joe digenova next. you can find it in the vitamin aisle in stores everywhere. prevagen. healthier brain. better life. would shakespeare have chosen just "some pens?" methinks a tul pen would serve m'lady well. thanks. and a unicorn notebook! get everything on your list. this week's doorbuster- school backpacks for $10; $10 in store or online from the advisors at office depot officemax.

>> our president must adhere to the values of the core of this country. he must tell the truth. >> acts do matter, i think

effective leaders, to be effective in anything near the long term have to be ethical. >> laura: those very compelling words from disgraced former fbi director jim comey take on new meaning tonight as we learn that doj inspector mike horowitz has referred comey for prosecution as part of an internal review but tonight other sources are telling fox news the doj won't be prosecuting him despite that referral. it begs that question why do powerful people continue to escape accountability? joining me now, alan dershowitz, author to the introduction of the published version to the mueller report and former u.s. attorney joe digenova. the guy leaks information and we are taking a pass? >> this was a bad case for the government to bring, they didn't have the evidence they needed. bill barr is trying to do one thing, he is trying to restore

the integrity of the justice department to get it away from the obama fbi, doj, political prosecution model back to professionalism. he took this case, they decided they didn't have enough to make a case so they decided not to bring a prosecution. that's what the justice department should do. bill barr deserves a medal for doing this but here's the point. comey isn't out of the woods. he is a target along with a number of other people of a major criminal conspiracy investigation by john durham. it doesn't mean he is going to be charged but he's right in the middle of a grand conspiracy that john durham is investigating. i applaud what bill barr did in not bringing this case. >> laura: i am against runaway prosecutors, patrick fitzgerald working against so many people over the years and in this case anyone else who has political acts for them to grind -- i want to play for both of you what

comey said a few months back in 2018 about the leaking issue. watch. >> the fbi gets upset when people make unauthorized disclosures, there was nothing protected about this are classified -- i believe i acted appropriately and i handled the memo says appropriately and created them for an important purpose. >> laura: thoughts about that. >> he didn't act appropriately, he acted like a coward. he leaked the information, laundered it through a columbia law professor -- he didn't have the courage of his convictions. if he thought it was okay to release these to the media, he should've gotten on television and held a press conference and said i want everyone to read these memorandum. he laundered them through a law professor, it was absolutely wrong but i agree with joe that you don't weaponize the criminal justice system.

they applied it to comey the same standard he applied to hillary clinton. closed case but in this case it said only confidential and the confidential staff was put on after he leaked the material. i would like to see disarmament on both sides. i would like to see less criminal prosecution except in extremely clear cases. runaway prosecutors are a danger to all americans and so i join joe in praising attorney general barr in deciding not to prosecute this case even though what comey did was disgraceful. >> laura: it was barack obama who in 2012 told hispanic voters to punish your enemies. they predicted that trump would use the justice department to punish his, none of that has happened and instead you have a professional acting professionally and everyone is shocked.

>> it's very obvious the doj and fbi under obama, all of these people tried to frame donald trump, to defrock him, to remove him from office, to prevent him from taking office. what we need now is accountability through disclosure, transparency, public reports, if there are serious crimes like let's say a group of people got together and said even though we know carter page is innocent, we are going to lie to the fisa court so we can listen in and see if we can get stuff on trump people. if that happened, i'm for prosecuting that. >> laura: if we are using the surveillance tools as a cudgel in a political process -- they talk about russia all the time. that is what they do in russia. that isn't what we are supposed to be doing. that is a police state and if

there is any police state operation going on here, someone needs to go to jail. >> i think the fisa court has the authority to hold in contempt any lawyer who filed a report that wasn't completely accurate and didn't correct a report that may have been accurate at the time it was filed. they have a continuing obligation to update the court as to changing information. the democrats are now saying, they are waiting for trump to lose the election and then they are going to criminally prosecute him. that would be a terrible mistake too. in our country, we don't prosecute people who lose elections, that's what happens in banana republic's and i want the democrats to call that off. whether he wins or loses, that should be the end of the matter. no prosecution, the mueller report does not make the case for prosecution of the sitting

president. >> laura: last night they were making it out like the report gave all the ground for impeachment. they are moving toward impeachment, and this desperation to the democrat party, there seeing 24/7. >> this is a big mistake for the democrats to move for impeachment. if they do is that, they're going to lose the house. we need to recalibrate the prosecution function. what bill barr is doing is brilliant, this is a great man. this is robert jackson and the justice department. he says you have all the power in the world, you don't have to act like a thug, act like a professional. >> laura: thank you very much for being here tonight and the president once again took aim at the baltimore -- i have some breaking news about the initial target of his ire congressman

cummings. cornel west debates it next. my experience with usaa

has been excellent. they really appreciate the military family and it really shows. with all that usaa offers why go with anybody else? we know their rates are good, we know that they're always going to take care of us. it was an instant savings and i should have changed a long time ago. it was funny because when we would call another insurance company, hey would say "oh we can't beat usaa" we're the webber family. we're the tenney's we're the hayles, and we're usaa members for life. ♪ get your usaa auto insurance quote today. >> no one has paid a higher price for the far left's destructive agenda than americans living in our nation's inner cities. the homicide rate in baltimore is significantly higher than el salvador, honduras, guatemal guatemala, yet democrats and

they have run it for many years, want to spend hundreds of billions of dollars on illegal migrants instead of supporting their own struggling communitie communities. >> laura: the president highlighting the failed liberal policies that brought once great cities like baltimore to the brink. we also learned that congress and elijah cummings had his baltimore home robbed just hours before the president's criticism last weekend. here to discuss all this, cornel west, professor of philosophy at harvard university and niger ennis, national spokesperson for the congress of racial equality. we hope the burglary of a congressman's home wasn't too serious but it's a sad irony. >> the deputy police chief of baltimore was mugged. it is an outrage. i think brother west and i and you would agree on this.

one-party rule in any country, any state, any city, be it from the left or from the right is unhealthy. baltimore has been under a progressive and corrupt reign of terror for over 50 years. trump was right when he said the homicide rate is worse in baltimore than it is in the triangle cities -- triangle countries in central america that are sending us many of their people to escape economic ruin. right here at home, right here in baltimore and chicago, we have economic and all types of other crimes and all types of disgusting depravity. it's taking place because of liberal one-party rule, that must end. >> laura: professor west, you might not agree with what could

fix this, but do you agree that liberal leadership -- they are going back decades and decades, nancy pelosi's father, her brother, both were baltimore mayors, all the way up to present day -- they haven't come up with any solutions, clearly. >> we have to be honest about both parties. both parties have been unable to come to terms with unbelievable poverty, decrepit schools and adequate housing and not enough jobs with a living wage. we have to acknowledge, brother elijah cummings, he's not a racist, he's a hardworking liberal in a democratic party which is still unable to fully deliver when it comes to people of whatever color but people disproportionately black and brown. this has to do with the system and this is something i think i think you would agree too, were not talking about parties, we are talking about an economic

system that has been unable to deliver when it comes to the least of these, it's very important to note my dear sister laura, haven revolutionary christian, as a democratic socialist, i don't want to destroy america, i don't want to undermine personal liberties, i don't want to illuminate the private sector, i don't want to do away with markets, i want fairness for poor people. fairness for working people. >> we all want better lives for everyone in america from 100%. >> if you have unfettered markets, you're going to get a distribution. >> laura: make sure we get his audio back. it dovetails to what we were talking about earlier. we had eight years of obama, eight years of bush, eight years of clinton.

these cities for the most part haven't changed. now trump tonight talked about what he's trying to do, it's one thing but it's not nothing, let's watch. >> nearly 8 million african-americans live in opportunity zones but every democrat voted against them. every single democrat. >> laura: every single democrat voted against it, that was a question i was going to ask and before we lost his audio, that is something. you've got to give people a reason to invest into risky areas. billions of dollars in government money, where has it gone? somebody has done well with the money. >> you had to billions, not millions, billions of dollars going into the city of baltimore including in cumbersome and elijah cummings district and what do we for it. i was supposed to be on here to

fight with brother west but actually kind of agree with some of the things that he says. >> we want jobs with a living wage. >> i'm applauding and agreeing with what you said earlier about there is a structural problem. the structural problem is you have this unholy alliance in these big cities. >> laura: we have about 30 seconds, sum it up. >> one thing we have to recognize is there is a spiritual problem in terms of losing sight of humanity so we don't demonize each other across the board. i can be critical of barack obama's mixed legacy without demonizing him or her thinking he didn't make any contribution. fox news can't be so tied to trump the way msnbc was tied to obama. we have to have a media that allows conversation to flow and focus on issues of working and poor people. it's very important for the

health of democracy. >> laura: sorry about the problem, we appreciate it. >> indeed, it's all good. >> laura: nigel and cornell here on "the ingraham angle," we have a lot more to get to, stay right there.

>> nearly half of all the homeless people living in the streets in america happen to live in the state of california. what they are doing to our beautiful california is a disgrace to our country. it's a shame, the world is looking at it, look at los angeles with the tents and the horrible disgusting conditions. >> laura: there are a lot of tents in d.c. as well but california certainly has the most. that was the president and the democrats failed to respond to homelessness. here now is l.a. medicine specialist dr. drew pinsky, explain why this should have been a topic at the democratic debate last night. >> it was not a topic of debate because unfortunately the homeless situation in california is directly the result of failed policies here.

this is not a housing problem. the federal government does have a housing structure that they are supporting, this is not a housing problem. this is a mental health crisis and the federal government does not have specific jurisdiction over mental health in the constitution. the congress occasionally has tiptoed toward the care of the mentally ill. previous presidents had vetoed that until president kennedy who passed a community health act which was designed to strangle the state mental health system. since then, we have had decay of our mental health provisions for the chronically mentally ill. they are all on the streets, i spent the day there on sunday and 100% other than the criminals that i saw preying on the homeless, 100% of the people in the streets were either major mental illness or drug addiction, 100%. i talked to dozens of people and they all told me the same thing. everyone is on drugs -- no surprise there.

this is the other thing they are not preparing for, they said the same thing over and over again, this number came up multiple times. 50% of the people out here will refuse care no matter what you offer them, no matter how good the services, that's because this is a mental health issue and part of having this condition much like if you had dementia, you lose insight into what is going on and you become attached to the circumstances you are in. you have to expand the definition of disabled, we have to modify prop 47, these are failed policies. it moves people out and into care, they are dying on the streets and my constant reframe to everyone of them is how many bodies in the streets before they are willing to change the policy? >> laura: they talk about the concerns at the border and they are real but you don't have to go to the border.

two blocks from right here, when you come to d.c., two blocks from right here there are people shooting up, out on the street -- and people just drive by. this is d.c. government, its local and state governments. we are out of time. dr. drew, i'm going to be on california -- it's so upsetting come on so many levels. this is america and this is happening and you've been leading the discussion. when we come back, what to do president trump and marianne williamson have in common, tonight's last bite -- we will explain. as a doctor, i agree with cdc guidance. i recommend topical pain relievers first...

like salonpas patch large. it's powerful, fda-approved to relieve moderate pain, yet non-addictive and gentle on the body. salonpas. it's good medicine. hisamitsu.

>> you think she could be the nominee? i just want to clear that up. >> we better be ready for the fact that he might be leading the republican ticket.

>> laura: that is funny, maggie haberman. i don't expect williamson to be at the top of the ticket but it was amazing experts mapping of candidates. podcastone.com, shannon bream and the fox news at night team take it from here. >> shannon: anything is possible in politics. >> great work last night. >> shannon: fox news alert, another campaign rally for the president this time in cincinnati. the president wasting no time taking a jab at the squad and we are going to take you live, former president obama's allies reportedly furious tonight sing presidential hopefuls spent two debate nights trashing the former president's legacy on immigration, health care and more instead of going after the
