detainer. including an 11-year-old girl. we will never be the media mob. let not your heart be troubled. >> i have to tell you that this is just miles from here. where does aoc play the squad? where the heck are they. these brutal are occurring and one girl whose life has been shattered as too many in the united states of america. this is a travesty. >> at some point all those who don't want to secure the border will use their logic. what point if you are in a sanctuary cities -- >> >> of the voters of

montgomery county, maryland, i hope start paying attention. this is a scandal, it makes my blood boil. >> sean: we have to bet everybody. and then we will get the 99% that want what we often take for granted. >> laura: great to see you. i'm more angry and this is "the ingraham angle." very busy show tonight. the second installment of agreement on the road tonight. he will join us from south bend, indiana, where he reveals the uneven record of mayor pete buttigieg. and also tonight former president barack obama is reentering the political fray. victor davis hanson is here to tell you what it all means. plus, dinesh desousa will explain why the 44th president's

new $15 million mansion may be at risk. and a woman claims that in a d.c. divorce court that congresswoman ilhan omar broke up her marriage. but first, the fairy tale party. that's the focus of tonight's angle. now when you are a kid and your mom or your dad reads a bedtime story, it can all seem so real, right? you imagine a giant beanstalk reaching up to the sky and little jack is climbing it. you may have been scared that the wolf was going to huff and puff and blow your house down. i personally always looked under foot bridges for the trial and the three billy goats gruff. but eventually we grow up and leave the fairy tales behind but not so with the never trumpers. they are still clinging to their

fantasy, to the republican party that never exists. pro-military outlook. now you may not know these people, they have zero constituency. republicans hate them and democrats are just using them. let me introduce this to you. the founding member of the party is failed magazine editor bill kristol who famously predicted this in 2003. >> whatever you can say about this war, -- >> it may be. >> it's not going to happen. >> parkhill. >> he scoffed at the notion of donald trump winning the

presidency, the nomination in 2015. >> this trump thing is going on i gather and he's doing okay in the polls for a while but he's not going to be a nominee eith either. >> laura: and now he claims to be a trump mind reader. >> i think he sees bad economic news coming in bad political news coming and he's a demoralized guy. >> laura: hey bill, 19 your high for consumer confidence, you might want to revise your remarks. in case you forgot this is a guy who thought a national review columnist could be donald trump in the spring of 2016. he will do it all at the convention, it's going to be a big deal. and this was too much for tamika brezinski to take. >> >> he kept playing and this

political land of make-believe. and then, there is kristol's buddy, brett stevens. he regularly dishes out the nastiest bile about the president and his supporters. >> what we saw over the last few days is a president who is either mentally unwell or morally unset. or maybe both. he's like a frenzy balloon, he popped the second he gets a little pinprick on twitter. >> yesterday a professor of george washington university described to me as a metaphorical bedbug. so i wrote him a personal email.

i also copied his provost on the note. people are upset about this and i want to be clear, and no way in which those people or professors or journalist interact with the rest of the world. >> laura: who died and made him head of human resources? what a goofball. and have you ever heard of this woman? her name is jennifer rubin and she's described as a blogger for "the washington post." every syllable out of her mouth was this contempt toward president trump and any of you watching. this meager accomplishment wants us all to be banished from public life. >> what we should be doing is shunning and shaming these people which is a statement of moral indignation that these

people are not fit for polite society. we have to collectively in essence burned on the republican party. we have to level them. because there are survivors. there are people that weather the storm and they will do it again. >> laura: her talk of bringing it down and urging that potential survivors be eliminated, and trumps rhetoric? that incites violence and it's shameful. but one of my favorite characters in the never trumper nonfiction series is this fellow named max boot. he bears an uncanny resemblance to max headroom. which one is cuter? now before trump got elected, he seemed like a goofy meal, huckster whose comedy was stuck in 2004. but boot claims the g.o.p. has suffered a complete moral and intellectual collapse. by smearing everyone whose skin

happens to be white, who voted for trump, who calls them a bunch of white supremacists. this sorry but kind of hilarious lot doesn't understand, at their fairy tale house it's already burned down. in 2008 and in 2012 when they lost the presidency twice to obama. then trump comes in and builds a new party that drew in people from the obama camp and voted for him the first time. people hadn't voted for him for a while. they recognize that obama and the end would cash out once he left office, the little people be. but the never trumper fantasy, i was thinking about it today, it's kind of like a bad romance novel but without any of the hunky characters. you just wanted to be over. and that's the angle, part one. joining me now is john mclaughlin and tom devon.

now you have pulled for president trump since his first run, how does this so-called smart set on the fairy tale la land, but that view of what he had and a real republican is, that's over. and obama went on to destroy the health care system for middle-class america, raise their taxes, lose their jobs and basically put their sons and daughters at risk in countries in far-off lands where we couldn't win these wars. donald trump ran on a message of change and that strategy was to light up the rust belt in the sun belt of america. we had a record 139 million

voters and he was seen change. he ran against the republican establishment in the d.c. establishment and to this day he will win reelection because he is bringing change to washington. they want to continue to fight for change. >> laura: and the old bushings, and there are a lot of them, and he was irritated by trump from the first moment. >> it's 4:00 in new york. he woke up to devastating reviews on the latest turn on the world stage. it's a g-7 summit, and all this

amid growing signs that his policy and schizophrenia on trade with china for the global economic crisis. >> laura: it's indistinguishable from any leftist host, but why is this vitriol and condemnatory language coming from this never trumper set? >> i was trying to think if there was any sort of president for this, where you have this group of folks repudiate the party in such a way. there is a very small group. you mentioned a few of them but there was a poll that came out recently that showed only 2% of republicans want to trump office. you have the small group of dead enders, and they seem to occupy these occupy these megaphones and platforms in places like cable news and major media

outlets. so they have these outsized voice, where they are spewing this language. trade and foreign policy has done a lot of conservative things on taxes and deregulation these folks, they hate him so much, they feel such a moral outrage -- >> laura: i think with some of these, they do want open borders and open markets. they are, for that, but i do think you hit it, ego and pride. it's hard, i've done mine on some of the cheerleading i did from the iraq war. i look back on it and i did this many years ago, but it didn't work. we need to rethink the way we do things. i don't think they seem capable

of it, and -- john, do you think at this point that it matters? they are just kind of shrieking into windmills. >> trump is getting over 80% of the vote, the conservative movement is totally rock solid. the real reason they resent them is he's outside of the establishment and he is succeeding. he's growing the economy when the rest of the world is stagnant, making america stronger. >> laura: and as he said, that reality, it doesn't even matter. none of it matters but there ego matters. and that's a focus of my angle,

part two. do you even remember this guy? edwin mcmullen was the never trumper's last hail mary candidate. remember he got gobs of media attention despite the fact that he never stood a chance of defeating trump back in the spring of 2016? well, for 2020 they found a new savior. radio host joe walsh. >> i'm going to hit donald trump, i'm going to punch him in the face every single day. i'm running because he's unfit. somebody needs to step up and there needs to be an alternative. >> laura: what an inspiring message. that's right. former illinois congressman joe walsh is who the never trumper movement, if you can call it that, has been waiting for. as long as you ignore that he called obama a muslim, used the n-word on twitter and may have

owed his wife a mere $117,000 in child support. but don't worry, walsh is self-aware. or is he? >> i wouldn't call myself a racist. but i have said racist stuff on twitter, no doubt about it. >> laura: but none of that matters. they are still desperately hyping the impossible. and, could they weaken him going into the fall? certainly. >> no matter how small they are, it becomes a real irritant and a problem. no incumbent wants to have that. >> laura: could lollipops grow

on trees? none of you -- that's they said at 88%. telling "the new york times," he has a different appeal than bill wells. they speak to the primary voters that never trumpers like me don't have. hey bill, you probably would have a better shot with this joe walsh from the eagles. now with all the hype, they are

showing how self-serving the never trumpers are. these folks are willing their own country to say, i told you so. so they lose a supreme court, all the federal courts and the economy gradually in upperhand, they lose it all so they can have their little moment. and of course, they want to take us back to what, open borders et cetera, et cetera. anti-trump grifters are completely out of touch with reality. the arc kind of like the party of the tooth fairy except there is no money under your pillow in the morning, just disappointment because none of the trump victory is coming. and that's the angle part two. here to respond, herman kane,

2016 republican presidential candidate. great to see you. first bill wells which is like back to the 90s, and then joe walsh. how many more of the pretenders for the media glom onto to promote? >> they will glom onto anybody who is willing to cast aspersions on donald trump. i will sum up this joe walsh, not the one from the eagles, the one who wants to challenge trump in one word, publicity. the squad, alc, and all of these other liberals, i'm sorry, lunatics. the more outrageous things that they say, the more likely they are to be on tv. so when joe walsh comes along and is going to challenge trump, the liberals are going to say, we have somebody else that we can put in front of the camera. it's for publicity, its own self

publicity because he has seen this work. the more outrageous, the more likely they are to the publicity. >> laura: they are the first people to scream foul, or go after their livelihood. they say they're going to punch the president in the face? no problem. there you are going to burn it down, kill off all the survivors -- i'm basically paraphrasing what jennifer rubin said. can you imagine? if any of the essay that, you don't work again. >> you are not going to bring down 164 million republican voters, you are simply not. that made it delusional what you showed earlier, absolutely

delusional. she talks about playing nice. while republicans are trying to play nice, they are the ones that are playing nice with that kind of rhetoric and all that rhetoric does is to ensure that they get on tv while somebody writes an article that quotes them or something like that. >> laura: they get a fancy perch had "new york times" and they become a house conservative. there's nothing conservative about these people, they long gave up their conservative credentials. john kasich, he didn't even show up for the national convention. he was a governor of this state when it was in cleveland. he's now mouthing off about how he was the first one to really doubt trump. watch. >> i call him out more than anybody and have been doing it. i didn't have like a change of heart but we see some people who say, i used to support him, and now i don't. i suspected this from the beginning, that this would be

disruptive to our country and disruptive to our allies and it's been precisely that. i don't want to say i told you so. >> laura: but herman -- >> it's really simple. can we say, sour grapes? all the accusations by joe walsh and others against trump are simply not true. >> laura: herman, it's always great to see you. come back soon. coming up, barack obama is back on the political scene, but why now? and why is his new mansion at risk?

just be one of former president obama is getting back into the community organizing with a new project that's exciting called, redistricting you will. starting in 2,021 they will send redistricting experts to train partisan gerrymandering after the after the 20/20 census. but the group behind a new initiative is called allontheline.org which itself is affiliated with a group shared by former ag eric holder. i'm sure people are making a lot of money for consultants.

furthermore, all on the line has a list of ten parody states it's targeting and you can see it right here on the map. north carolina, arizona, florida, michigan, ohio, pennsylvania, texas and wisconsin. only lost in colorado by less than 5%. is this really just a campaign to help the democrats and hurt republicans? joining us now is victor davis hanson and domesti dinesh desou. what your take on obama, a couple hundred million dollars later in the coffers for him are now getting back into politics, is that what it is? >> i think he feels his brand has been tarnished and he has to go back to the preorganizing origins, the acorn era. donald trump has systematically with a pen and phone and

executive methodology undoing his entire agenda. the icon of the obama administration is a very unimpressive joe biden and you have this spectacle of the democratic primary candidates almost against the obama legacy. you add all that up and then of the optics of a green woke socialist spending $22 million at a time that he warned us that the seeds would be rising and that you've made enough money at some point not to profit anymore, he spread the well and you didn't build that, you can't score that circle. he's trying to get back and restore the obama of 2008 i suppose. >> laura: dinesh, he was clearly smarting after the 2016 election result, it all got blown away that night. i would have loved to have seen his face like a time lapse photo. so now this. this kind of seems like a weak

me but he knows if trump gets reelected all these never trumpers, it's done for the foreseeable future. >> 2016 was a repudiation of obama. with obama this whole notion that he somehow is trying to restore procedural fairness, it worked in 2004 and worked in 2008 and it's been a declining credibility issue ever since. the funny thing about the mansion in martha's vineyard i think it is that it really exposes the hollow rhetoric behind all this climate change. it shows that obama himself knows it's nonsense because of he believed a word of it, if he thought the oceans were going to rise and his property wasn't going to go underwater, he would not have made the investment. and pro not true, the sellers know it's not true, the real estate agents know it's not true and nobody

believes that. you can see that even obama's actions can't be in sync with that. >> laura: that's a great point. and we have the side-by-side, what they are projecting for the house and what will happen with the water levels and so forth. climate central says that what the obama martha's vineyard home is going to look like in 2016, in the extreme scenario. can we put up that shot? there we go. you can kind of see it. now what it looks like now, you can see how the water moves into the land area. you can see the shaded area, that's his house underwater. but it's ridiculous. it's again, do as i say and not as i do. they are all going to suffer but obama will be up there counting

his netflix cash in edgartown and having a good time. >> i think it's more like medieval penance. then he can score that possible psychological circle. but on the gerrymandering thing, notice he's not going to california or massachusetts. it's kind of an atonement again because remember when he was president, he not only lost the house, the senate and the supreme court, those are precisely the people who will redistrict according to the new census. so he is more culpable than any democrat of getting himself in a dilemma that he says he's going to try to get out of right now. >> laura: it is -- these are the same people, i'm sure that they are nice people, i don't

know. but they go flying to their conventions in their g5's and they fly in the beluga caviar and they are wailing about the latest horrible story. none of it squares with the way they live their own lives, none of it. >> the truth of it is nothing is happening that's that unusual in the amazon. all these pictures on social media of amazon burning, most of them are lifted from earlier years going back as far as 2,000. >> laura: there are some pretty bad fires there. >> i'm just saying that they are no different than the fires that have occurred in previous times. what i'm objecting to is the apocalypse and the alarmism. here's the point i want to make. while the people are saying all this about climate change, the real appeal of it, none of us know if the earth is getting

hotter or colder, nor do they care. but the deal is a smuggling back allison tell mike a mechanism for socialist agenda. we look at basic income and medicare for all and raising the minimum wage and none of this has anything to do with climate change. but since we can't have the old marxist revolution, we have to appeal. >> laura: thank you so much. coming up, raymond arroyo on the road tells the real story of mayor pete's record in south bend. but what to his constituents think? and does he have what it takes to be the next president? i can't mess exclusive angle coming up. >> i can't see him standing toe-to-toe with food and or some chinese leaders. my body to relet my body to relet like it's supposed to. trulicity is for people with type 2 diabetes.

it's not insulin. i take it once a week. it starts acting in my body from the first dose. trulicity isn't for people with type 1 diabetes or diabetic ketoacidosis. don't take trulicity if you're allergic to it, you or your family have medullary thyroid cancer, or have multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2. stop trulicity and call your doctor right away if you have an allergic reaction, a lump or swelling in your neck, or severe stomach pain. serious side effects may include pancreatitis. taking trulicity with a sulfonylurea or insulin increases low blood sugar risk. side effects include nausea, diarrhea, vomiting, belly pain and decreased appetite, which lead to dehydration and may worsen kidney problems. i have it within me to lower my a1c. ask your doctor about trulicity.

>> laura: a new installment in our raymond on the road series tonight. raymond arroyo in south bend, indiana, now the home of pete buttigieg. but what does the mayor's real record look like from the ground? >> from the looks of things you might look like i'm in st. louis or detroit but actually i'm only a few miles from the golden dome of notre dame. welcome to mayor pete's, south bend, indiana. a place where the local population here, 25% of them live beneath the poverty line and crime has risen to the 20

year highs with violent assaults exceeding by 173% the national average. and if there are lots of abandoned homes here. "usa today" recently described south bend as one of the most dangerous cities in america. they say it's doubled the and state average for assaults. what's happening here? >> we have a mirror that is more concerned about politics right now than he is about public safety in our own city. it's infuriating. >> because of some of the rhetoric here at home and nationally, as it made it more difficult for you to do your job? >> absolutely. now the public sees us as villains. and morale is at an all-time low as far as i'm concerned. i've been a police officer here for 27 years and this is the lowest i've ever seen it. it's mainly due to the mayor's lack of public support for our

officers. >> tell us about the eric logan case. >> more than ten officers have been shot at since that shooti shooting. >> to what do you attribute that? >> the public is now afraid to approach us. >> do you feel safe in south bend? >> not at all. >> i can't wait to get out. >> i feel like i'm on gaillardia. >> i'm okay with where i'm not but there's stuff that goes on downtown and other areas that needs to be addressed. >> do you go downtown in south bend? >> sometimes i do, it's a lot of fighting. >> i don't go downtown. my 15-year-old doesn't like to be out alone at night. >> is there homeless? >> they are all over the city. >> 25% live below the poverty

level. >> given what you witnessed and lived under, is he ready to assume national office? >> i don't believe so. my message to the mayor is to drop the politics and be a leader for the city that he swore to be a leader for. >> and then there is mayor pet mayor pete's record on abortion. in 2008, the women's care center, a pro-life crisis center wanted to open up a facility next to that building. the city council approved their permit but mayor pete vetoed it. >> we purchased a building that needed to be rezoned and when we brought it to the city council that approved the zoning, it was vetoed. the owner of the property here where we stand across the street contacted us and offered us his property. so we built here and here we are

serving women on the west side of south bend. justice demands that every woman in this community, has the opportunity to choose life. >> you can see it's not exactly populated in the afternoon but mayor pete has instigated investments downtown. there is some new construction. the studebaker factory here was a recently turned into a tech hub. but the question is can the residence afford to live in these new high-rises? >> i have two children, 24 and 25, i don't think they could afford to live in those spaces. >> i don't see a lot of opportunity in the city. >> i definitely think it's for those who have money rather than the residence. >> is mayor pete ready? >> absolutely not. i don't agree with anything on

this platform. >> i like mayor pete. >> i can't see him standing toe-to-toe with food and or other leaders. what he's done with the city, he hasn't really changed too much. >> laura: it raymond arroyo joins me now. terrific reporting there. what's your impression of south bend? i've only been there a couple times because of football games or whatever and notre dame. but at least the people you interviewed, they said it doesn't seem like he's doing his job at home let alone for the country. >> a lot of these people really like mayor pete. they give him credit. this new art center has been refurbished but the streets are empty. this is a daylong approach to the area, it looks like it's abandoned or a ghost town. on the other side they say they feel unsafe.

they are worried about and violent assaults. not only hear about in the neighborhood. he saw the homeless problem we uncovered, and the head of the police union there, harvey mills, shared more information with us about the drug unit being shrunken by mayor pete as well as traffic enforcement. we have more to share with you later in the show. they sent us a statement, the city of south bend. we've been in contact with them. >> laura: we will be back later in the show as raymond said for more on that. but don't miss. a woman claims in d.c. divorce court the the congresswoman ilhan omar broke up her family. and we have more details on that tonight, stay there billions of mouths.

billions of problems. morning breath? garlic breath? stinky breath? there's a therabreath for you. therabreath fresh breath oral rinse instantly fights all types of bad breath and works for 24 hours. so you can...

breathe easy. there's therabreath at walmart. >> laura: ilhan omar's verified social media's status has largely insulated her from legacy media criticism. and that tonight's breaking news seems to be an example of this. tonight some breaking news who is alleging her political consultant cover comic husband admitted to having an affair with omar and that he made a

"shocking declaration of love. he's now reporting that omar's campaign dispersed tens of thousands of dollars in travel expenses to the company owned by him. omar denied even dating anyone in an interview today. the other major networks seem to be silent on that. here to weigh in, matt schlapp. they fancy themselves kind of at least cultural arbiters of our time but this is a little careless. >> ilhan omar is curious to use that phrase. i can't quite figure out her philosophy in life, is she is like this modern feminist, or if she someone that has religious views that take her to another place.

i can't figure it out but all i know is, if a republican congressman had been funneling a bunch of money to her lover, i think we would be reading about it in the media. >> laura: her office is saying no relationship but it looks like "the daily caller" has some of the documents. >> we are not going to believe it but i just can't believe it myself that my really good friends on the right are taking exception with a woman. if it is all true, having an affair, while one is married and the other is married to, this is the kind of stuff that for the past couple of years we've been saying through congressmen and senators and even presidents, it doesn't matter. >> laura: that's an ethical

problem. and it's not that big of a problem until now. so he is a legitimate consultant. we know that. he has a legitimate company, and i'm trying my best not to talk about the current president of the united states who had a legitimate wife and unborn child because what we were told by my good friend on the right is, -- or my good friend like reverend graham. >> laura: no grandstanding. we are talking about money. >> going to your consultant? >> if it's taxpayer money, it's sanctioned by -- then there's a

problem. >> well they certainly found out according to the investigation that it wasn't determined by the investigation. >> are really going to keep investigating these things for two, three, four or five years? >> i think, look. i'm someone who doesn't dismiss these four women. i think they've been incredibly savvy and in their own way very smart, how they've dealt with social media. they have a platform and i happen to disagree with it but, they are out there advocating for what they believe in. i can, it's not what i believe in. >> it's -- their morality is green jobs and green economy and -- >> when we looked at zillah brand and way she called

out -- you were the one who said let process to be process and you are the person who always said let personal be personal. >> laura: i defended franken. i think frank and got a raw deal. on this other stuff that's happening, we have beto -- this is beto tripling down on the third trimester abortion issue. >> you are out of town and someone asked you specifically about third trimester abortions and you said, that's a decision left up to the mother. i was born september 8th 1989 and i want to know if you think on september 71989 my life had no value. >> of course i don't think that. you referenced my answer in ohio and it remains the same. that's a decision for the woman to make. >> it's a problem with that mentality, your life has value

but there is no legal standing. it's what the country did for a hundred years on a whole array of issues when it didn't affirm the fact that a human being has rights. >> laura: we are out of time but thank you for being here. coming up the radical ninth circuit court just ruled that the state of idaho must provide transgender surgery to an inmate who is convicted of a sex crime against an underaged victim. that is not a joke. the governor of idaho is here exclusively to tell us how he's going to fight back. let's take a look at some numbers:

4 out of 5 people who have a stroke, their first symptom... is a stroke. 80 percent of all strokes and heart disease? preventable. and 149 dollars is all it takes to get screened and help take control of your health. we're life line screening... and if you're over 50... call this number, to schedule an appointment... for five painless screenings that go beyond regular check-ups. we use ultrasound technology to literally look inside your arteries... for plaque which builds up as you age- and increases your risk for stroke and cardiovascular disease. and by getting them through this package, you're saving over 50%. so call today and consider these numbers: for just $149 you'll receive five screenings that could reveal what your body isn't telling you. i'm gonna tell you that was the best $150

i ever spent in my life. life line screening. the power of prevention. call now to learn more.

>> laura: the ninth circuit court of appeals playing political activist once again, ruling last week that idaho must pay for gender reassignment surgery of a criminally convicted individual who sexually abused a 15-year-old boy. now the court said idaho's refusal to fund the inmate violated the eighth amendment's cruel and unusual punishment protection.

and there have been two other courts that have ruled opposite and we appealed this to the ninth circuit and we will appeal it again. we heartily disagree, it's a bad precedent and it will be expensive, it's contrary to the health of professionals that we've had reviewing inmate records and all the things about the inmates. it's contrary to big practices and it's another example of active escorts getting in the middle of something and creating a precedent that's going to be expensive for the taxpayers of idaho and potentially all the taxpayers of the united states. >> laura: it's a complete scam. it is the inmate -- was the inmate born a woman? i confess i can't tell from

this. born a woman or born a man? >> born a man. >> and wants to transition for gender reassignment surgery but convicted of sexually abusing a little boy, correct? so this would be part of -- never to go on to sexually abuse anyone again, i'm sure. but i think people watching across see the stories and they feel helpless because unelected judges, they like tenure on the court, what happened to my country, and i think people really feel like they've lost the culture and defensive helplessness and sadness at the same time. >> as i said there are two other federal courts that ruled in very similar cases the opposite way. so we are hopeful that justice will prevail and the taxpayers

in other states will not be paid for what we see as a procedure that our health care professionals say not necessary. >> laura: this will end up at the supreme court because of the split. thank you very much for the update. when we come back, raymond arroyo will be with us. no reaction from mayor pete's campaign and the city of south bend. stay there. >> tech: at safelite autoglass,

we really pride ourselves on making it easy for you to get your windshield fixed. >> teacher: let's turn in your science papers. >> tech vo: this teacher always puts her students first. >> student: i did mine on volcanoes. >> teacher: you did?! oh, i can't wait to read it. >> tech vo: so when she had auto glass damage... she chose safelite. with safelite, she could see exactly when we'd be there. >> teacher: you must be pascal. >> tech: yes ma'am. >> tech vo: saving her time... [honk, honk] >> kids: bye! >> tech vo: ...so she can save the science project. >> kids: whoa! >> kids vo: ♪ safelite repair, safelite replace ♪

>> laura: still trying to get over that previous segment, and we are back with raymond on the road. have you heard from the city of south bend after your visit there today and mayor pete's campaign? have they gotten back to you? >> they've already responded to

the segment. it's a public safety, is a top priority and we are continuing to work hard to reduce violence. they talk about the group violence initiative, but what they don't address, and we will report more on this friday. mayor pete trumped the drug enforcement, and our venice beach report on the homelessness surrounding residents in the very tony neighborhood of venice beach. and that's all the time we have, i love it. we have more on tomorrow's

podcast, make sure to go to podcastone.com and raymond will have his report from venice beach and i've seen a little bit of it, it's wild. shannon bream has all the latest and we will take it from here. >> shannon: we begin with the fox news alert. the war against the opioid epidemic heats up as a on other company is reportedly in the midst of negotiating a multibillion dollar settlement. but what billions solve the problem? we are to gettin digging in. china is using the addiction epidemic as a weapon against america. also tonight puerto rico facing another major challenge. residents are breaking for tropical storm dorian, it's been almost two years since category four hurricane maria devastated the island. plus, one of the nation's
