>> kayleigh: i'm kayleigh mcenany in for laura ingraham and this is a special edition of "the ingraham angle." [shouting] [bleep] [shouting] >> disperse now to permit the safe flow of pedestrian traffic. >> kayleigh: that was christmas. you may not know it by looking at those images. that was new york city and their latest victim was thrown into chaos as protesters clashed with police officers in the streets of manhattan. one officer incurred a shoulder injury. that's right, they attacked the police officers. another punched in the throat on christmas. >> and as billions of christians around the world separated the birth of jesus christ. these protests shouted they

attacked police officers. they said christmas is canceled. they chanted "long live the intifada." they even said "nypd, kkk, idf, they are all the same." some even shouted "allah hueall" the protesters decided to mock the christmas holiday as they carted around, get, this a nativity scene, which according to the "new york post," was splatted in what appeared to be fake blood. isn't that nice? the nativity scene was thrust in front of saint patrick's cathedral you could see it moving right along the same evenings as midnight mass was happening and the protesters loudly chanting cease-fire now radicals not stopping there also disrupting holiday shopping in san francisco and blocking the streets in l.a. [shouting] whose street? our street. >> this is not christmas as usual.

christmas genocide christmas disruptions weren't just here in the united states. no, they happened across the world as pro-palestinians ambushed a christmas celebration across the globe. even targeting, listen to this, a fundraiser for blind children in australia. the fundraiser was, quote: the largest annual fundraiser for vision australia's children service but here comes the protesters running across the stage. the host of the program told the crowd, relax, settle down, everyone is entitled to their moment. correct. this was a moment to benefit blind children but bring in the palestinian protesters. worshipers in cologne, germany were forced to search -- they were searched as they entered the children u. churches because they were celebrating jesus christ but because of violent islamist threats these searches took place. the city's police chief says now

they worry about new year's eve threats. not just germany. austria and spain have warned about potential attacks across the holidays, too. meanwhile, christmas was essentially canceled in bethlehem, yes, bethlehem, the birthplace of jesus christ, canceling christmas in solidarity with the palestinians in gaza. the guardian reported manger square, next to the church of the nativity, which was built on the spot where jesus is believed to have been born, was gray and sad without decorations for the first time in living memory. there was no traditional christmas tree at its center. how sad. but the radicals aren't stopping at christmas. no way, the pro-hamas mob even tried targeting, listen to this, the u.s. holocaust museum. that was supposed to happen thursday. and what was labeled as urgent call to action by doctors

against genocide the group encouraged people to join them on thursday at 11:00 a.m. at the holocaust memorial museum. quote: please obtain free entry tickets, they wrote. the group says they have been misrepresented and that they intended to express empathy for the horrors of the holocaust and also what they labeled genocide in gaza amid outrage the event was canceled. well, joining me now is stephen miller, former senior adviser to president trump and founder of america first legal. steven, so they cancel i guess it was a protest, a call-to-action at the u.s. holocaust museum and they said that they never intended this and they have been misrepresented. your thoughts? that's one of the mist vile things i have seen or heard when it comes to demonstrations. it's part of this larger movement that we are seeing of pro-hamas demonstrations across the west that are vociferously

anti-jewish, anti-vision, anti-american, anti-western. and we have to face up to the extremely uncomfortable truth that we have admitted millions of people into the west who hate our beliefs and our way of life and who use our spirit of tolerance and understanding as weapons against us. and they are willing to dominate our spaces to block our roads, to trash our beliefs and our histories and to use physical intimidation, bullying and even violence to get their way. and if we don't accept that we have to radically change our approach to immigration policy in the west. >> this is a maul taste of the future that is coming our way. >> you know, stephen, you mentioned this and immigration, i have no doubt you are correct about that. there are people crossing the border who are anti-american who have a different this isn't just

south america. you see this polling of young people. 30% don't believe putting a baby in an oven the terrorist attack of october 7th were actually terrorism. it is a confluence of both young people plus the folks crossing our border? polling of young people is quite terrifying, and many causes for that obviously the education system is an incubator of anti-american tim and anti-semitism and what they call anticolonialism which is just a reference to trying to deconstruct western civillation. marxist education k through 12. at the same time, mutually enforcing where you have this education system teaching people to hate america and then have you an immigration policy that's bringing people into our school system, bringing people into our university system, who are then being taught to hate the country in which they are living. look at our university system as

an example very, very much at the center of the debate, lately, you have university students on foreign visas who are going to classes who are being taught to hate the west who then express that hatred as visitors to our country. since this combination of radical indoctrination and lax immigration policies across the board. dhs, the state department, the justice department. everybody who administerss the whole continuum of our immigration system is allowing people into the country who had extremely dangerous views. antithetical to our way of living here. again, you merge that with the complete poisoning, of the education system in this country. k through 12. it starts in preschool. i know some parents of young children who have to leave preschools or have to change their educational plans before

kindergarten. kids 2, 3, and 4 years old. that's a cancer in this country. and one that parents all across america are deeply concerned about. >> it's a cancer in this country. police officers getting punched in the throat is unbelievable. stephen miller. thank you. >> thank you. >> we find ourselves at another moment in history when democracy sunday siege. >> we know that democracy is on the ballot. we are fighting for our democracy. >> we will not retreat from the values that make us strong. we will defend democracy. the left claims to be the true defenders of democracy, of course they are. but as the ingle has exposed for three years now. their definition of democracy is keeping republicans out of power by any means possible. if they were truly defending democracy. where is the outrage over hamas' rejection of the latest cease-fire negotiation, you heard that right. they rejected the cease-fire.

sources telling the "new york post" that hamas rejected a peace plan because they, quote: refused to take part position end of hamas' reign in gaza by forming a palestinian and free elections. left would take to the streets to advocate for a terrorist group and stand up for the value they claim to cherish and as usual biden is silent of course he is. joining us now is victor davis hanson senior fellow at the institution. i hear seas fire now. cease-fire now which means israel except the fact that your women, children and babies were killed. where is the cease fire now crowd when hamas rejects the cease-fire? >> they are right where they always wanted to be. they don't believe in democracy. this isn't the party of jfk or bill clinton or hubert humphrey. these people are hard core socialists and they believe in mandated equality. not liberty or freedom.

so here at home if things don't go their way they want to get rid of the filibuster. they want to pack the court or they want to admit new states, or they want to take an opponent off the ballot. they don't believe in democracy. polls show that. they show that recent daily signal said that 50% of democrats wanted to curb free speech. 75% of republicans, of course, didn't. so when they look at the world outside the united states they just project that same idea and when you have as stephen said these force multipliers of open borders and millions of people coming in from the middle east from autocratic and illiberal regimes it makes it all the more astounding they come in the case of immigrants they enjoy all of our freedoms. they do all of -- in all their power they try to destroy that freedom by shouting down or disrupting or defacing monuments and icons of freedom to do what. to champion illiberal regimes

abroad. who are fighting the only constitutional system they don't believe in democracy. the old aclu doesn't exist morally superior. they want to have a mandate and equality of result and they want power to enact that and anybody that gets in their way they call racist to reactionary to fascist. but they don't want to let the people speak. because they know their agenda doesn't appeal to 51% of the people anymore. it's very ironic to have all of these people as i said to come over here and flee these autocratic regimes and what do they do when they get here? they take advantage of our freedoms and dry to destroy them where they rah-rah illiberal regimes. i think americans are sort of like a sleeping dragon. i think they are just looking at this every single day deface monuments, throw paint on the lincoln memorial. disrupt christmas. and at some point they are going to wake up and say no mosque, we are done with it.

and we don't want people to come into our country who do not respect the rule of law. >> yeah, you can't leave the liberal media out of this. i want to get this in. "new york times," they publish an op-ed by gaza's mayor. we know he is hand picked by hamas, gaza's mayor compare that to how they treat a u.s. senator, tom cotton, "new york times" says senators op-ed did not meet standards. this was, of course, during the summer of 2020. republican senator no gaza mayor you got it. >> this isn't a liberal media. they are not classically liberal at all. they don't believe in free speech. they don't believe in exchange of views. they have a particular hard core progressive socialist agenda. anything that is useful for that agenda they approve of. they can't distinguish morally the difference between october 7th and the reaction to october 7th. remember, they have 20 days

before the idf even went into gaza. and during that 20 days the only news they had was decapitation. mutilation. necroophelia. the most barbaric savagery you could imagine. they cheered that on on contextualize it. they don't want hamas to be subjected to elections. they feel that might bring in a different point of view that wouldn't be conducive to their idea of destroying israel. even when arab countries suggest to hamas they should have elections or at least have different viewpoints, people in the united states don't want that. because they are on the same plain of hamas. they want to destroy israel by any means necessary just like they want to project their agenda by any means -- they think they are better than we are intellectually and and god-given right to do it. that's their goal. >> that is their goal. victor davis hanson, thank you. thank you. the biden administration wants

you to think conservatives are attacking democracy the street conservatives under assault. take christmas day where two republican lawmakers, congresswoman marjorie taylor greene and congressman brandon williams were the victims of swatting calls. we reached out to the cuyahoga county sheriff's office to ask what happened in regards to congressman williams and received this response in part. members of our sheriff's office along with the new york state police did respond to congress william's residence yesterday at approximately 2:00 p.m. after receiving reports of an alleged shooting that had occurred there we were quickly able to confirm that the report was false. this was clearly a swatting incident intended to solicit a law enforcement response to the congressman's home for an emergency that did not exist. the sheriff is working with the u.s. capitol police to determine who perpetrated this act which was clearly designed to frighten and intimidate the congressman and his family. congressman brandon williams joins me now. congressman, i'm sorry this happened to you on christmas.

i'm sorry for marjorie taylor greene. tell me what happened. when did you learn something was amiss at your house? >> well, i got a call that i didn't recognize the number. it went to voice mail. and just reflectively i looked at it and said it's the sheriff. their office, we're on our way to your house for a shooting incident. and i called them back and i said hey, everything is cool here. but i stepped outside to greet them outside. just think of it through the eyes of a police officer you see on the screen coming in heavy into my house. you know, they don't know what they're facing. so, i tried to just make it easy for them. i gathered my family in one room and just saw them, show your hands. be respectful. which they would do anyway. but you really have to de-escalate that. becauses it's just not fair for law enforcement much less it's very violating of my family.

>> kayleigh: of course it is. someone put a sign outside your mailbox and the sign read. this end the war on gaza. so do you think this is yet another intimidation tactic because of your pro-israel views? >> it's no question. when they target your house, we have had neighbors actually that have had a car stop and say do you know where the congressman lives around here? can you point out his house? this happened several weeks ago. the signage you see was several weeks ago. i was heading to the airport to go down to d.c. you know, this has happened a couple of times, they know where i live. and are these incidents may very well be related. >> you know, i only have 15 seconds here, have they found the person who did this yet? >> you know, it's very easy to hide your location when making phone calls because of voice over ip and all the different

technologies that's how the telecommunication system works. i have given the police the margin to do their investigation the capitol police are involved. local police are involved. and not trying to interfere but i'm sure i will get an update here in a day or two. i hope that changes. >> stay safe. i know this has happened to congresswoman greene eight times. let that sink in. >> my family is resilient. >> kayleigh: your family is resilient. absolutely. well, russia banning a political candidate from challenging putin? hmm, what does that remind you of. i will tell you what it reminds me of. it involves trump, next. ♪

russia is giving the angle serious case of deja vu. the electoral commission voting unanimously to reject independent candidate's candidacy just three days after her application citing 100 mistakes on her forms. because that's what happens in acto rock crazies. that's what happens in dictatorships.

in fact, the electoral commission in russia acknowledged that 29 # people have filed to run for the russian presidency but just one candidate is actually able to register. i wonder who it is. that's right. putin. meanwhile, here in the united states and colorado in a 4 to 3 ruling, justices declared donald j. trump ineligible for the ballot citing section 3 of the 14th amendment. to be clear, this is an 1868 amendment that was passed in the wake of the civil war. it's been used only a handful of times to go after confederates but bring in donald j. trump. the ruling is sure to be appealed to the supreme court but is it yet another attempt at election interference first russian collusion and then to impeachment and then the so-called unverified hunter laptop. wait they verified that one. and then the four indictments

and now disqualification from the ballot. sense ago pattern? i certainly am. if you think you could just write in donald j. trump? think again. the colorado decision reads the secretary may not list president trump's name on the 2024 presidential primary ballot nor may she count any write-in votes cast for him. that sounds like russia not the united states of america. joining us now is former deputy independent counsel and fox news contributor sol wisenberg. sol, you can't even write in the guy's name? what's going on here and the supreme court, what do you think is the trajectory to hopefully overturning this? >> i think the supreme court is going to take the case i think they are going to reverse the colorado supreme court quickly. >> kayleigh: fairly quickly. do you think history serves. you have all of these 5-4 decisions very narrow. do you think we could see a 9-0

reversal. some of those justices move over? >> r. >> i would certainly like to see that cailee. they are going to have to look at things this term relate to president trump. i think he will look at presidential immunity in the context of criminal prosecutions. i think they may take a look at the gag order and i think it's very important that they try to decide this with as much unanimity as they can. and i think this will not be a particularly close decision. this section of the 14th amendment that the colorado supreme court utilized, the majority, is simply not self-executing in my view. that was a position of the then chief justice of the united states, salmon chase in 1869, less than one year after the 19 amendment was ratified. i don't see this as much -- so much as an issue of election interference, though it is, as another example of trump derangement syndrome.

this time this time in the judiciary. i say this not as a political supporter of president trump. i have never politically supported president trump but these efforts are very, very disturbing and very anti-democratic. >> kayleigh: i would love to know your theory on this but i have heard other legal analysts say. i know this i went to law school. you look at history and precedent, there is a reason the president isn't listed in this section. they list all these other office holders but they don't list the president. you read that with intention, by design, our founders thought about each and every single word. do you think this section 3 of the 14th amendment even applies to a former president? >> you know that's very much disputed. i think there are good arguments on both sides. it's certainly not clear to me that it does apply to the president not clear you know if the text isn't clear then you get to go to his structure and

things like that some of these questions are close on this issue of what the clause means but to me the critical -- the critical thing, which was discussed in one of the sentences i believe it was justice sam door who foc focus e griffin. congress must put teeth in the 14th amendment. congress must say this is how we are going to enforce this disqualification clause. now, they did that. they passed a criminal law. it is still on the books. 18 usc 2383. jack smith did not indict former president trump for that that's one critical thing. it's to the a self-executing portion of the 14th amendment. two, you have to provide due process for somebody you are

going to take off the ballot. the process provided here was an absolute joke. didn't have the right to subpoena documents. didn't have the right to subpoena witnesses. there was not a fair trial in any sense of the word here. >> no due process, not self-executing. fascinating analysis. sol, thank you. the despite the left's constant accusations of republican attacks on our institutions. they are guilty of undermining the highest court in the land. the supreme court will likely hear challenge to the colorado ruling taking trump off the ballot. is their plan to reject whatever the eventual ruling is? >> the supreme court itself has considerably less legitimacy now. >> the supreme court justices are facing their own reckoning with reports clarence thomas and justice samuel alito major gifts from billionaire and calling ethics and legitimacy into question. >> deeply unpopular and facing the most profound legitimacy

crisis in u.s. history. >> kayleigh: joining us now is phil president of the committee to unleash prosperity. i wanted to start with this. kimberley strassel had a brilliant piece in the "wall street journal." she talked about the implications of this for the court. she says this: there was a day when the professional class, in particular prosecutors and lower court judges cared about institutions at least as much as about winning. this crew, what makes their actions more deplorable is the cynical view that harming the high court is an added benefit not a cost. if the justices rule against mre left accomplishes an immediate political goal. and if they rule in mr. trump's favor the left smears the justices and ramps up its campaign to pack the court. your reaction? >> yeah. i think that's absolutely true. i think it's important to remember most outrageously thing that happened in the obama administration when he declared he could make recess appointments even when the

senate was in session. he lost 9-0 at the supreme court. that was the end of that no one could defend it. if we don't get that sort of emphatic rejection of these outlandish legal theories that they are advancing in their attack on president trump, that will allow them to say this is just the conservatives on the court playing politics and the only solution is to pack the court. and we were very close to them being able to pack the court. remember, we were only two democratic senators who stood in the breach, kyrsten sinema and joe manchin who said we are not going to kill the filibuster so we can pack the court and do d.c. statehood and not the rest of it. it is not far. it's not outlandish thing they were very close and depending on the outcome of the election they could be over-the-line and do this. that is what they're building the case for. the liberals on the supreme court have not distinguished themselves as of late. remember, even when the president tried to spend half a trillion dollars usurp congress' power of the purse to the tune of half a trillion dollars of

transferring student loan debt on to taxpayers, the three liberals on the supreme court said that was fine. they were fine with that. >> carley: you are exactly right. so i want to get this in. we are talking about the state of colorado, right? and you have the governor of colorado jared polis. i basically want to play this soundbite because my son is watching and he was a 1-year-old and he was hezb mesmerized by t, america not so much ♪ if feliz november dad ♪ feliz navidad ♪ >> he is in a very odd but happy mood it seems. >> i think he is showing that, you know, even if -- even a gay guy can be that goofy. so, it's interesting. it gives hope to the standard heterosexual white male that even the gay guy could be that awkward. >> you know, my son loves him.

>> kayleigh: well, happy almost new year. the border is still in crisis mode. a migrant caravan leader says that 15,000 asylum seekers are set to crash the border and that would only worsen the current situation. according to fox news' griff jenkins over the four day christmas weekend, there were more than 35,000 migrant encounters over four days. now, over 250,000 since decembe. things are not really slowing down in eagle pass, texas. the del rio sector alone

encountered more than 200,000 plus migrants in the last 24 hours. and probably most shocking of all more than 24,000 chinese citizens have been apprehended crossing into the united states from mexico in the past year. that is more than in the preceding 10 years combined. joining me now now from acuna mexico, cabello, independent journalist spent years covering this crisis from both side of the border. alvin, welcome. i mean, chinese citizens crossing the border. that is a pretty astonishing thing. 24,000. >> yes, it is. and i previously went to tapachula and there is something very interesting that happens there for those that have been in the darrin gap, you see people from all parts of the world and once they arrive ground zero in at tapachula, af the sudden they get filtered out and you only see central americans. for example, in this caravan

that's walking out, it is mainly composed of the venezuelans, cubans, haitians some africans, you will not see in public any chinese or europeans. what is happening there is depending on their resources, how much money they have it's who they can pay and that determines where they cross and when. chinese are paying up to $30,000 and that's why they are all crossing in california area. >> $30,000. >> exactly. here in pedro negras we are getting the poorest of the poor venezuelans, they are riding the freight trains from central mexico to pedestrian driveway negras a direct route. that's why we are getting hit in that particular border town. >> kayleigh: i want to get this in here. your wife after six years of waiting. very long time of waiting yesterday on christmas was finally given a date to interview for a green card into the united states as i understand it one of your

children born in texas. one born in mexico. thousands of dollars spent. congratulations. tell us about that process. >> thank you. well, it's taken a lot of patience. that's exactly right. i'm a u.s. citizen. my wife is a mexican national. initially we were living in del rio, texas, and we had to move to acuna on the mexican side in order for us to process her green card. and after five years of waiting and paying thousands of dollars, yesterday, christmas day we received our miracle saying we had an appointment. come february we logical be traveling for her interview. all this time i have been living on the mexican side i have been documenting the illegal mass crossings happening not here here in acuna and del rio with the haitians now pedestrian driveway negras and central americans. foo is a wonderful gift to you

and your wife and children. thank you very much. americans are being attacked and killed biden is nowhere to be seen. retired u.s. army colonel and attorney kurt schlichter speaks out after this

>> kayleigh: where's biden? our soldiers are under attack. three u.s. service members wounded after another drone attack by an iran affiliated terrorist group on on erbil air base in iraq the latest attack has left one u.s. service member in critical condition. our prayers for him or her and their family. in retaliation, secretary of defense lloyd austin announced today at the president's direction u.s. myrtle forces conducted necessary and proportionate strikes on three facilities used by can a tab hezbollah and affiliated groups in iraq. so another pinprick strike that will do little to deter our adversaries. and this comes as the iranian backed houthi rebels are escalating. overall, the houthis have attacked over 21 international vessels and the question becomes why hasn't the biden administration redesignated them as a terrorist group? why? president biden is failing and now is he letting the international trade commission trample over american companies,

even liberal ones. upholding the apple watch import ban is action he is taking there. and he fails to adequately support o our ally israel insted telling them to control their rage after an attack that left americans killed. americans taken hostage. is this why the "new york times" is now calling him the real drag king? "new york times" saying biden will be a drag on dem races in key states? retired u.s. army colonel and attorney kurt slither joins me now. i mean, kurt, you served yourself and now we have a soldier in critical condition, a u.s. service member why are these people still breathing, kayleigh. i was there in desert storm the last time unequivocally won a major war. and you know in the wake of that, after we wiped out dozens of divisions in about 100 hours

it is not just college kids who are seeing a back door through the supreme court's opinion. experts are saying it, too. >> do not ignore such a crucial part of your identity. it paints a holistic picture of who you are. a lot of the elite colleges are looking for ways to identify these students. the piece of advice is make it easier for the colleges to know all of who you are. >> joining me now, horace co cooper. i want to point after supreme court in the affirmative action and decision said you are still able to talk about your background, your experience, your race, how it has affected your life. but the whole plant of the ruling was to make sure that we don't discriminate on the basis of race which is exactly what affirmative action. so if these college administrators than still try to implement the same result, we got a problem here. >> of course we do. it is remarkable how unwilling the left has been to let go of

the idea that the race of the person is the most important thing that we should know about them. and in particular, at the university level, we see this phenomenon. and it is a very, very troubling. why after the supreme court has made it very clear, we can, white, black, or brown, compete and be admitted without regard to a limit being placed on our race or an advantage being placed on our race. the university of texas back in 1955 was still sending restrictions on the basis of people entering the university and they could just look at you and decide whether you would come in or not. then a supreme court said no. this is no different and yet what i see are progressives, the

modern jim crow advocates, who now say, no, we are still going to look at your face and make that the basis of who you are. and so if they tell you put a picture in, if they tell you, mention your race, color, it is no different than what we saw prior to the supreme court landmark decision. >> kayleigh: that is right. and horas, chief justice roberts said the best way -- ways to stop discrimination is to stop discriminating based on race. you see this through the biden administration. here's this new situation, the biden administration's minority business development agency currently facing a difficult challenge for giving assistance to americans based on race. the suit alleges that the mbta which helps minority run businesses fly for federal grants violates the equal

protection because. and we saw this in the early administration with farmers saying we will give certain grants to black farmers are not white farmers. there is a trend here. >> absolutely. that is to. and the same is true, by the way, with reparations. there's some local governments, even the state of california, and apparently now the state of new york is looking at this idea, whether it is the biden administration, whether it is local government, you are not legally allowed to prefer the race of the person and then decide whether they are going to get a benefit. if you have a policy like that, it is on very, very shaky constitutional grounds. at the same time, it violates the idea that we should be judged by the content of our character, not by the color of our skin. >> kayleigh: that is why.

so the washington post liberal communist, fair to call her that. it is about claudine gay who did not resign in the wake of her horrible response to israel and her plagiarism. she says she plagiarized her acknowledgment, i take no joy in saying this, but harvard president ought to resign. your thoughts? >> she absolutely ought to resign. and she can do it with the understanding that there are quality 10 talented black, white, brown americans who can take her place. >> kayleigh: and there certainly are. thank you very much for joining me. that is it for us tonight. i'm kayleigh mcenany. don't forget to tune in weekdays at 12:00 p.m. eastern time when i cohost the show "outnumbered." with -- rachel in for jesse takes it and from here. ♪ ♪
