>> bret: finally tonight, today's throwback. >> mr. gorbachev, tear down this wall. >> bret: that speech was made in june of 1987. however, 34 years ago today, november 9th, 1989, that call from president reagan actually happened. east germany opened the berlin wall, allowed travel east to west. that night germans celebrated by knocking down the wall themselves brick by brick. it was built in 1961 during the cold war it. separated the soviet controlled east and the democratic west. and the cold war came to an end. east german declared that citizens were free to cross. tomorrow on "special report," we have got it all. for cases against violence against jews and muslims, remember, if you can't catch us live, set your dvr 6:00 p.m. in the east, 3:00 p.m. on the west

coast. we obviously had a big show today in that. israeli prime minister visited us after that interview between the saudi crowned prince and the israeli prime minister. reacting to that and the current situation with the war. thanks for inviting us into your home tonight. that's it for this "special report," fair, balanced and still unafraid. "the ingraham angle" is now. ♪ ♪ >> laura: good evening, everyone. i'm laura ingraham and welcome to the ingraham angle from washington tonight. all right. although republicans lost some races on tuesday night, they picked up a senate seat when joe manchin announced he would not seek re-election in west virginia. manchin saw the writing on the wall he was going to lose next november and lose big. >> i've made one of the toughest decisions of my life and decided that i will not be rubbing for re-election to the united states senate. but what i will be doing is traveling the country and see if

there is an interest in creating a movement to mobilize the middle and bring americans together. >> laura: the truth is, over time, the voters saw through manchin's mask. he couldn't play the roll of the good old boy from west virginia and go buddy up with chuck schumer in d.c. his constituents didn't trust him. and the democrats had grown tired of him. >> he has not been a reliable ally to this white house. he has not been a reliable ally to democrats. i don't know if the long term if maybe this means that they shift strategy to invest in other states where, you know, real democrats can play. >> it is -- he has been more reliable than a republican would be though. >> that is true. that is true. that's the argument that has long been made. it's better to have a moderate in that seat than to not have the seat at all. but progressives i speak to have long said well, that's money that can go elsewhere. >> laura: well, but the fact is manchin's exit is a huge problem

for democrats who only hold the senate, remember, by a hair 51-49. to keep their majority, democrats have to defend seats in two red states, montana, plus ohio. plus arizona, wisconsin, michigan, pennsylvania. plus they need to keep the white house because, remember, kamala is th tie bake breaker in a 50/0 senate. if democrats falter they must replace one by g.o.p. held seat which ones are those rick scott in florida? ted cruz in texas? good luck with that. but think about the emotion of the past five days. democrats went from feeling dread about biden's horrid poll numbers to jubilation about winning races in virginia and kentucky. and now, with the manchin development, they are back to dread again. >> this cannot be overstated. what a dramatic blow to democratic chances of hanging onto the senate.

if jon tester is mentioned in montana or sherrod brown in ohio were to lose, that's the ballgame. never mind battleground states like michigan or nevada or other tough states for democrats. this is a huge blow to chuck schumer's math in keeping the majority. >> as for manchin's political viability on the national stage, well, think of republican's thorn liz cheney after she got trounced in wyoming. she also refused to rule out a white house run but now where is she? >> i'm going to spend the next year between now and the election certainly helping to elect serious people, helping to elect sane people. we could well find ourselves. a situation, given what we know the trump folks are doing in terms of attempting to question the results of the election, we don't want a situation where the election is house of representatives and donald trump has any possibility at all of prevailing under those circumstances. >> laura: blah blah blah,

republicans are dangerous, blah blah blah blah, they are anti-democracy. well, the anti-trump establishment is smart enough, i think to oknow that splitting their vote between biden and manchin would be a sure fire way to hand the presidency to a republican. they will never do it. no labels, no win. and now onto the g.o.p.'s 2024 prospects. the media's favorite republican, that's the focus of tonight's angle. >> don't want to move away from israel a year from now. america can never be so arrogant to think we don't need friends. after 9/11, we needed a lot of friends. now is the time to get partnerships. >> i stood on the simon boulevard bridge and watched thousands of venezuelans cross for hours in the hot sun holding their babies. they were fleeing socialism and begging for freedom. >> laura: now, after last night's debate, one conclusion is undeniable, the media wants

nikki haley as the g.o.p. nominee. look at these headlines from politico. most of their reporters agreed nikki haley had the best night. and in a tweet, nikki haley's ascension in the 2024 primary was hard to ignore. and high praise over at the "new york times," too. they are saying haley won all three debates. and let's not forget msnbc. they are in as about as much love as they can be with a republican whose last name isn't bush, cheney, kinzinger or romney. >> nikki haley who i do like as a candidate because she has got some spark. >> nikki haley who, you know, having a pretty good night. she has had a couple good debates in a row. >> she showed the kind of determination and steely, i think, strength that needs to go up against foreign adversaries like putin. >> laura: it's nice to get good press. do i get that but politically, this is suicide for nikki haley. there is no future in the republican party for someone who has been endorsed by politico

and the "new york times." nikki haley can be a media hero or she can be a leader in the g.o.p. but she cannot be both. so if nikki haley wants to win g.o.p. support, she has to explain how she is just not the second coming of the bushes and liz cheney. right now it appears from listening to her last night, at least, that she is. otherwise, the media wouldn't be rallying to her. but the fact is she is relentlessly pro-war, which in a matchup with biden, would allow him to peace lane. that's great for biden. could she win over the trump voters i guess for her to travel. fight over a cause that actually makes the media mad. how about that? it's my view after last night, as it has been in every debate, that ron desantis emerges strongest. this is because he has the most experience as a successful chief executive along with a clear populist message that voters are

aligned with. >> i'm going to stop the invasion cold. i am going to deport people who came illegally. it's a full spectrum approach to be able to fend china off. yes, military deterrence. yes, economic decoupling, but, also their role in our culture. if we don't -- if we ignore that, we're not going to be able to win the fight. >> laura: he is the only one you can actually sees a presidential material, someone you know would make good decisions if trump somehow stumbles no sign of that happening. that's the angle. joining us now mollie hemingway editor and chief of the federalist and kayla mcgee white washington examiner. mollie, who was the biggest winner last night. >> probably the same as it has been for every debate which is trump who succeeds by not showing up at these debates and that is a significant issue. i agree with you that ron desantis had the best answers. he understands the policy the best. it's not surprising that they would -- that you would have so many people in the media claiming that it was nikki

haley. >> laura: what do you think? >> i think desantis did a great job at making sure that he stays in second place and nikki haley third place. mollie was right the runner-up and who is going to be in second and third place. what's the point of continuing the charade. trump is 50 points bo every single person on that stage except for desantis. no one comes close to him. he is what the primary voters want. >> also true that vivek ramaswamy had a very good night. >> laura: going to get to him. he is coming on the show in a moment. can you give us your take. >> willing to say things that are truth of that nobody else is willing to say. he doesn't have a political background. the previous successful nominee also was an outsider you saw how fresh and exciting it was. >> also the only one aligned with g.o.p. primary voters when it documents foreign policy. 52% of republican voters do not want to continue sending billions of dollars of foreign aid to ukraine. every other single person on

that stage with the exception perhaps of ron desantis supports the blank check. ramaswamy was the only one who firmly said no, no more. >> laura: three populists are trump, ramaswamy and desantis. when you add up all their support last time i checked it was about 84%. when you add up all of them. they are the fringe. they're the fringe. >> not really a debate in the republican party about where they want to be going. the debate' among media people they wish the republican party could be returned back to the pre2015 area where they were easily controlled. where they had the burden of pushing their wars, which were very politically toxic and unpopular. they liked when the republican party had that -- was carrying that. they don't like that the republican party has thrown that off and that it s. embracing more of a populist message. >> laura: nikki haley, "the washington post," the "new york times," msnbc, i think, i mean, i don't think one major media outlet who didn't say that she absolutely won that debate last night. you know, she had some very -- there were emotional exchanges. i'm going to ask vivek about

those later. they are emphatic. don't you think that they see if haley is the nominee, if they can run the same campaign, you know, they ran against mccain and against romney successfully. >> it's not just that i think this tells us that they ultimately see her as a person that they control. if she were to beat biden. if she is in the white house, she is establishment through and through. and we got to talk about the weird tweet and the comment that she made to ramaswamy about how her heels are ammunition. i'm still trying to figure out what that means. is she going it send it to zelenskyy to help the ukrainians. it was cringe to use gen z slang. >> laura: i missed that. msnbc is pushing the idea that the no labels party will actually stop trump real question is to no labels. you have two people on that stage right now who could challenge donald trump with all your dollars behind them. what exactly are you doing? >> mollie, there is no labels

group drafting romney and manchin together. that, to me -- it's one of the funniest things i have heard next to the stilettos comment. >> clearly a lot of investment in having the winner of the next election not be president trump and because he is polling so well in the primary and polling well in the match against biden, willing to do all sorts of things. i don't know what th logic ther. not people hungry for manchin, even fewer people hungry for romney. >> do they remember what they said about romney in 2012. thursday stolen howell iii. mean to his dog. they just savaged romney and they did mccain. oh we love john mccain and ronald reagan. what did they do to those candidates. >> the media love republicans no threat to them or the establishment. >> democratic amnesia they

apparently love the republicans they used to hate. i think the claims that no labels is somehow going to help biden instead of hurting him is the same claim that people are making about r.f.k. jr. how they think that he is going to hurt trump more than biden. it's just not true. trump has been shoring up his support among the g.o.p. primary base for months now at the same time biden cannot even hold on to california voters. he is losing support among his own base. a third party bid is only going to hurt biden. >> laura: i think it's the most ridiculous idea ever. do you think it's actually going to happen? do you think manchin will actually throw his hat in? >> he clearly indicated that he wanted to do that today. there is a lot 6 money invested in third party run. it's going to hurt biden. >> laura: love him or hate him, there was one candidate who created the most news, mollie indicated at last night's debate. in moments, vivek ramaswamy is here with his thoughts and, yes, that includes his now infamous

positive. >> laura: she responded to you today. >> something that requires accountability. >> laura: msnbc news other candidates on that stage. so when we require making an actual observation, the underlying truth negative, i'm not going to sugar coat it. >> laura: ronna mcdaniel responded to your comments today, watch. >> he needs headline, i am going to say what i have been saying to republicans all along. our headline should be about joe biden. i also will stand by my record as rnc chair. now the rnc doesn't do state races where federal committee. we weren't involved in those races on tuesday. i know vivek is kind of newer to the party. he voted for obama, so he may not know that i have elected four times unlike somebody else who came after me last night. >> laura: she has been elected four times, vivek, what's your response to that. >> first of all, i find that outright lying ridiculous. i never voted for obama in my life. for the chair of the rnc to be saying that on national television is malpractice, as it was also malpractice for her.

reported last night. supposedly cheering and booing against me in the middle of a debate. think about that. as the chair of the rnc and saying that they won't be giving me another penny of their money. she almost proves my point about the corruption. it's not her money. and that's the way the people in this party have thought about this for a long time. they think it belongs to them. it doesn't. it belongs to the voters, the actual base that that we are supposed to serve. when you have a managerial class of,a swamp within the republican party, that has lost its way so badly, longing to go back to an older era of establishment quasi corruption, yes, we require new leaders who will lead this party forward. that requires people coming from the outside and from the next generation, that's why i'm in this, laura, i think that's what is going to be required to revive the republican party revive this country. if you look at the debate stage last night a good example of moderator selection to the comments she made afterward that proved my point. >> laura: "the national review" editorial board, establishment

outfit. but they accused you of pandering to the isolationist inclined populist of your party. and claims that all you want is a future media gig. do you want a future media gig, vivek? >> i don't. i think what i want is to revive this country. and, fact of the matter is, that's a long-winded way a national national reviewesque way of saying that i'm giving the g.o.p. primary voters and the penapeople of this country y want and rather than dick cheney 2.0 crawling over that debate stage last night. the reality is we are fighting foreign wars in places like ukraine that have not advanced the american interest. i don't want to see iraq 2.0 or afghanistan 2.0 with 7 trillion added to our national debt and thousands of people my age sent to die. america's son and daughters in wars that didn't advance the american interest. >> why do you think you are higher in the polls? if your view is so popular. only trump is the big dog in the pen, why are you not doing better in the polls?

i think there are two solid america first candidates in this race. donald trump and myself. voters face a choice. in donald trump's case they get somebody who was tried and true. good president. that's why he is doing so well in the polls. i have something he doesn't. i have fresh legs, i'm young. my belief is it will take somebody from the next generation to reach the next generation and revive national pride and i'm new. i think, laura, we're going to be very successful heading to the iowa caucus and otherwise. i'm going to keep speaking the truth. the unvarnished and unconstrained about it. i think what's what our voter base wants. slogans to try to solve for what the establishment media or donor class wants me to say. doesn't work that way with me. halloween, will halloween costume years ago of you in heels that, would really send everybody into the orbit, okay? thank you for joining us tonight. we appreciate it. all right, media members representing prestigious

just documented by the terrorist themselves. but also captured by gaza-based photo journalists working for news agencies like the associated press and reuters. the report, by honest reporting, raises think questions and implies that some of the journalists were on the scene of the massacre so fast they might have had a heads up from hamas. all of the outlets have adamantly denied advance knowledge of the attack claiming they obtained the photos from freelancers as they normally do. the a.p. responded, get: the first pictures a.p. received from any freelancer showed they were taken more than an hour after the attacks began. the agency notes they are no longer working with one gaza freelancer. reuters responds, quote: the photographs published by reuters were taken two hours after hamas fired rockets across southern israel and more than 45 minutes. honest reporting notes the israeli website has response from cnn noting the network has cut ties with the freelancer

writing: while we have not at this time found reason to doubt the accuracy of the work he has done with us, we have decided to suspend all ties with him. the "new york times" is responding calling the accusations untrue and outrageous. defending a freelancer whose work they used writing: there is no evidence for honest report's insinuation. our review of his work shows he was doing what photo journalists always do during news events documenting the tragedy as it unfolded. israel's government press office is demanding further explanation from these outlets. laura? >> laura: mollie, thank you. disturbing. we briefly touched on this next story last night. it was so enraging that i thought it deserved longer conversation. >> it's so incredible that i have to offer this amendment. it almost sounds like the domain of science fiction. that the federal government would put a kill switch in vehicles that would be the judge, the jury and the executioner on such a fundamental right as the right to travel freely.

>> it this is not about protecting people. it's about controlling your every move. at least when you are a vehicle. it's something that the left and the federal government want you to kind of get used to. house republicans and house democrats and 19 republicans voted against thomas massie's amendment that would defund a federal kill switch mandate which means that all cars manufactured starting in 2026 will now have a way for authorities to monitor your driving and then cut power to your car. what could go wrong with that? joining me now kentucky congressman thomas massie. congressman, now, i think, gee, hmm, when is some of us were driving, we needed to because we were necessary, essential employees but we were driving during covid and they didn't know we were necessary employees, maybe they would have hit the kill switch on us. who knows? >> yeah. you know, people said i'm a

conspiracy theorist for saying this is in the legislation. but i actually had to read the democrats, the bill that they passed two years ago. they passed this in 2021. as part of a thousand and 39 page bill to require that your car can monitor your driving performance. and if it thinks you are not driving well it could disable your vehicle. imagine you are a mom with kids in the car and you swerve for a deer and you pulled over for emergency vehicle to go by and you have only got one swerve left. before it shuts you down and takes you to the side of the road. my question is how do you appeal your conviction when you are sitting at the side of the road with a car that won't run. who knows where, stranded? >> laura: here is your colleague from michigan, of course, auto industry capital of the world. representative debbie dingell. she reacted to your amendment. >> we need to stop drunk driving by making impairment prevention technology standard in new vehicles. it does not mandate kill

switches or allow data collection that invades vehicle occupant's privacy. i protect data privacy nor vehicles probably than the more of this sponsors of this does. it's ridiculous and it doesn't monitor how you drive. >> laura: congressman, please respond to those tones. >> she needs to read the bill that she voted for. that he was the problem. it does. after she said that, i did read her the bill. here's the other thing. this isn't a breathalyzer. 31 states already have ignition interlock devices where if you have been convicted of a dui you have to blow through that in order to start your car. that's not what this is. this bill also has the ability, it says, car manufacturers need to somehow passively monitor the air in the car to see if you have been drinking. the problem with that is what if you are the designated driver and you are trying to get somebody home who has had too much to drink? there is so many ways this could go wrong. it's basically a backseat driver

and nanny and to her point about privacy, i'm worried about that as well. how do you know somebody is driving well on the road they are on unless you know which road they are on. you need to know their location. who has access to this information if. is there going to be a camera watching your faces a you drive to make sure you are looking at the road? to gets that data. >> laura: it's unclear to me where the data is stored. i mean, they are. surprising vote for foyer amendment. maybe not that surprise going she is a real liberal. alexandria ocasio-cortez. so she is with you. finally we got some bipartisan agreement. even if the amendment failed. >> i talked to her about it. she had civil liberties concerns. genuine civil liberties concerns. she knows this is a violation of the fourth amendment. but think about this. there is 19 republicans who are to the authoritarian left of aoc now. so, that's my question. not why did i get a few democrats to vote for it, but

why were their republicans who want to keep this mandate in cars? >> laura: for any of this regulation. we have enough -- we are getting killed by regulations in this country. congressman, thank you for alerting us to this. we really appreciate it. and up next, a high-brothel busted. it serviced elected officials, tech and pharma execs, even college professors. we have the details. plus, a michigan townsend ago message to biden we're not helping china. i'll tell you why, next. ♪

>> laura: in one of the wildest stories of the week filled with them, the feds are busted what is being described as a network of high end brothels. all right. unless you think this is some seedy areas, sleazy red light districts, no. these are located within miles of two of the most influential and prestigious american cities. >> three individuals were arrested and charged in federal court with operating a sophisticated high end brothels in cambridge and water town and in eastern virginia. these establishments facilitated the movement of predominantly asian women across the united states for sex trafficking and

sexual -- commercial sex ring exploiting them in the process. >> laura: now these houses of ill repute were located just minutes from washington, d.c. and harvard university. and, guess what? clientele looks like they could have included pharma execs, high ranking military officials, government contractors with security clearances, professors, and even well-to-do students? so, will we ever see a list of the johns here, the type of black book that became infamous in the case of elts spitzer and his mid-a manhattan madam. let me stress that that could change with the investigation set to continue holding elites in the positions of power accountable. this required transparency. and if any of these men frequenting prostitutes were involved in things like the vaccines, education, war-making

policies, look, we already know they have bad judgment, but we better make sure they are not compromised. and even though our own president won't stand up to china, a small town in michigan will. the residents of green charter township just voted to kick out five local leaders for approving of a chinese owned electric vehicle battery plant in their town. now, this is great because it would have created more than 2,000 jobs. they didn't care. the message was that they didn't want to help the ccp. joining me now is michigan congressman john mull march whose districts includes what would have been well, the proposed sight of the factory congressman, this is groundbreaking and groundbreaking for this plant is supposed to happen next year, even though those, again, shockingly, republican leaders are gone, the plant itself is still moving forward? what happens next? >> well, that's great question,

you know, the voters spoke on tuesday people in the community spoke out. recalled these elected officials. held these people in authority accountable who weren't listening and basically they are saying we don't want a company that is affiliated with the alegion just to the chinese communist party. the people of green township, big rapids township said no, we don't that affiliation in our community. >> well, there are contracts that have already been signed, i imagine. contracts, you know, are voided all the time. if the people in the township who pay the bills and presumably -- i bet they bring in chinese workers. they often bring in chinese workers when they set up shop in the united states. but there would be american jobs created. is there a way to void that contract at this point? because it seems to me that's what has to happen.

>> that's something i believe the new township board that was elected will look at. we also have to look at the fact that the state of michigan gave over $700 million for this project. we just can't be be subsidizing companies affiliated with the chinese communist party. that's why i have introduced legislation on the federal level that would deny the inflation reduction act tax credits, the green energy production tax credits the biden administration has been promoting from receiving those tax credits. >> laura: here is what biden said about the auto industry today, congressman. >> my predecessor was in office six factories closed across the country. tens of thousands of auto jobs were lost nationwide. on top of that, he was willing to see the future of electric vehicles to china. he is he had if america invests in electric vehicles, it would drive down wages. it would destroy jobs. >> well, like almost everything

else he said he is wrong. >> well, congressman, we know, this china is going to dominate. they are already dominating, beginning to dominate the electric vehicle industry, they are ramping up production, flooding europe with electric vehicles and when biden, you know, promises that we are going to have a new era with china, what does that mean as far as our auto industry? that's gone. trump is right about that. >> he is absolutely right. president trump gets this. we are playing on china's home field as we force companies into this ev -- where we are relying more on china. >> laura: congressman, we certainly hope this gets reversed on the battery factory front and no thanks to the evs, thank you so much, congressman. everyone is asking me who is the unhinged lib who accosted that poll greeter last night? well, we're going to tell you what we know, next. ♪

[bleep] bible beating bigots. >> laura: now, that tirade by a powder puff in the people's republic of arlington county virginia was quite entertaining the first time i watched it but it does get better every time. on tuesday night we played a short snippet but you really need to let that one breathe i think like a fine wine. so many of you wanted to know more about that gentleman now thanks to facial recognition software and sleuths at marco polo an opposition research group we learned mr. congeniality is this concerned citizen a long-time federal contractor at hhs named brendan martin. yeah, that means you pay his salary t post millennial reports that martin's linked in which has since been taken down, shocking, says he's worked there since 2020 at hhs as a technical

advisor to the consulting company icf for the adoption and foster care analysis and reporting system. now, if you care about children, that's really reassuring. the poor kids. now, imagine for a moment the press's reaction if a federal contractor had approached an lgbtq-plus volunteer sitting at a table passing out literature. and then spewed similar invective? how long would that federal contractor been employed. we reached out to brendan's office at hhs to confirm the response but the only response we received was an automatic reply from mr. martin saying very late lunch, 3:45 to 4:30. that's a typical bureaucrat mentality. schedules are meaningless, and accountability doesn't exist. we hope he had a nice lunch, or

dinner or whatever we're calling it. still waiting for a reply. joining me now charlie hurt with a fantastic sense of humor washington times opinion editor fox news contributor. i showed this to my kids, two of three, showing the other tonight. they were laughing in hysterics and my littlest said why did he come back? then he came back into the frame. like he's going nuts 0. federal government at work. >> can you, can you -- exactly. can you imagine being married to this guy or having this guy as your neighbor? he's a lunatic. and he's obviously unwell. and the thing that's kind of scary about it in addition to the fact that the federal government thinks this guy should be in charge of children, is the fact that you know, when he gets in the guy's face and he makes the finger motion with the gun motion with his finger, he's trying to escalate it to violence.

and when you've got somebody who's that far, you know, that far unhinged and he needs medication obviously, and he needs to be around -- away from children, and he needs to be away from democracy. because obviously he can't handle the concept that someone would disagree with him. >> laura: know what i find also amusing, is that during the day a federal contractor would be, you know, moving around town in cargo shorts and a t-shirt. send me a memo when grown men stopped wearing cargo shorts in public, okay? those are like the little garanimals kids wear at four and five years old not grown men. i guess he's not going to work like all the other federal contractors. i don't know if he goes into work, maybe he's still worried about covid although he wasn't wearing a mask, unfortunately. >> i think it takes a lot of effort to be this psycho and so considering 0 shorts and a

smelly, blue t-shirt is probably the uniform that's best suited for being a lunatic, an unhinged lunatic who's going to go after -- talk about insurrection. this is insurrection. trying to incite violence at the polling place is more insurrection than anything else going on here. >> laura: char lurks as much as i would like to talk about this guy for an hour, because we could do just a whole examinings of him, we spoke a little bit about manchin dropping out and that group no labeled with bug money people is now reportedly pushing, hold your breath, a manchin romney ticket along with a new web site called america back on track. how about a derailment. so it's a ticket of two men who didn't have the courage to face their own constituents at home. your thoughts. romney's not running again either. >> exactly. they're so afraid of trump being

on the ballot in their own states, that they won't even face off with trump in their states. so they're going to take their loser show the road? but here's the other thing. this group, they call themselves no labels yet they keep winding up with all these people that have labels, like democrat joe manchin, left wing environmental whacko joe manchin and republican mitt romney, and both of them have the most important title which is loser. so those are all labels. i don't know why they want them. >> laura: yeah, well, after all, liz cheyney and adam kinzinger, their ticket didn't really go anywhere so they have to come up with something else. charlie great to see you. that's it for us tonight don't forget set your dvr to stay connected with us and follow me on social media remember it's america now and forever. jesse watters, he takes it from here. >> jesse: welcome to jesse watters primetime. tonight. >> you've with become a party of
