>> laura: hi, i'm laura ingraham. this is a special edition of "the ingraham angle." i hope you are having an amazing starts to 2024. i cannot believe it's another election. all right, the iowa caucuses are just a couple weeks away. and we could soon start to see a thinning of the g.o.p. field. it's about time. but, before things really ramp up. politically, we wanted to take this time to remember how much fun we had in 2023. some of the biggest laughs came of course when raymond with me. here is a look back at what we all did. it's time for "seen and unseen" where we reveal the stories behind the headlines for that we turn to fox news contributor raymond arroyo. all right. biden had an event for the kennedy center honorees i know at the white house. and that happened the other day. queen latifah got a little less than the royal treatment. >> with other movies and movies she has earned golden globe and "primetime" enemy -- enemy. [laughter] that's me. prime time emmy.

>> laura, the man can't even read a commendation for a nominee at this point. how can he read complex statement. officer swaive speech. being able to command an audience and modify them. but i guess part of the presidency is also knowing where the exits are ♪ >> laura: that exit music gets longer and longer. they need one of those leashes that they use for the kids in day care. the little strings where the kids all stay together. he needs to stay on all of those for all appearances and events. >> laura, how did jill biden become the seaing eye first lady is she not supposed to drag him

around? i have never seen anything like it. if any other president had done this or first lady. front page news all day long. the bidens get a peace there is more from the ultimate blow hard john kerry at climate summit in dubai. look at what he said. what is he alleged to have done. what is this? >> yeah, i mean, look. well, this salman, john kerry who apparently has no use for fossil fuels or oil i think national guard emissions are something is he comfortable with. at least his own. listen to this. listen closely, we didn't edit this, listen. >> you should not measure progress on the climate crisis just by the degrees averted but by the lives saved. i do not understand adults

avoiding responsibility for taking away those things that are killing people on a daily basis: and the reality is that. [laughter] >> laura: i heard it. >> hand to god we did not edit this. this is a guy who is intent on controlling everybody's methane's emissions except his own. did you notice the lady sitting there as he goes on. she puts her hand up to her mouth trying to block the smell? i don't know what happened there. >> laura: reminds me of my kids when they are in the car and i didn't do it. he did it. she did it. it would have been funny if both of them went like this not us that would have been the classic. >> pointing to him. >> about liz cheney, your buddy. did you hear what she said when she was asked by savanna guthrie about a presidential run? >> you have not ruled out running for president yourself. do you envision something where you run with the democrat and do some kind of unity ticket?

>> i'm going to decide over the course of the next couple of months and it will certainly depend upon where it looks like things are going with the nominations of both parties. people have to be willing to put partisanship aside. >> laura: raymond? >> she is going to decide over the next couple of months, laura. this woman has less a chance of being president. she has less a chance of being president than george santos at this point. i mean, she lost by 66% of the vote to harriet hageman in wyoming. what chance does she have on the national stage? this is absurd. >> laura: all right, raymond, there was nothing on the president's schedule today, shocking as that may be. last event of the week to mary duty on the south lawn? >> heart warming to see the president light the national christmas tree. especially since his lights have been out so long. but there were some, let's call them outages along the way. if you're the white house advance team, it's probably a good idea to put the

teleprompter not so close to the bullet proof glass so that the audience can read it along with the president. watch. >> laura: jill and i are honored to welcome tout national christmas tree lighting. thanks to the interior secretary deb haaland and the national park service foundation. [cheers] >> they're the ones doing this. >> laura: oh, yes, can you see it. like a decoration. >> raymond: yes, it is. >> laura: and the big moment that was supposed to -- supposed to wait for it, to gather around and do a group countdown? he couldn't even wait that long. >> hello. >> ready? >> 5, 4, 3, 2, 1,.

at least one yuletide tradition was perfected. the president performed his trademark where's the exit dance? >> ♪ ♪ ♪ >> the music stopped. >> laura: and he stopped. maybe he think it's one long game of musical chairs and you are supposed to stop when the music stops. i mean -- >> i don't know. very peculiar. >> christmas spirit, i'm granting you three wishes, make them quick. >> oh, thank you, mrs. claus. look, my first wish is that pro-palestinian protesters would stop using tree lighting ceremonies and christmas events as a staging ground for their protests. now, this was the scene from columbia university where during the tree lighting ceremony

protesters canceled joy ♪ we'll not have joy and mass ♪ [chanting] >> long live palestine. >> long live palestine. >> celebration. >> end israeli occupation. >> i love that they think they can qana sell joy, laura there is no room for celebration. i'm sorry, there is. our embrace expression of christmas is not your free pass to stage a demonstration. do that somewhere else at another time. sorry. >> laura: this is whole goal. they don't want the jewish faith or christian faith. they don't want any of that. that's not what it is all about for them. protesters arrested christmas tree ceremony. protest on your own time. don't ruin our family or holiday celebrations with your protest i

wish we had more magazine covers like this and less magazine covers like this. one features shannon daugherty waging an incredibly inspiring battle against cancer. save loring every moment. coverage for getting coverage what does dylan mulvaney do except talk about dylan mulvaney i will take shannon daugherty all day long. >> what has happened to forbes? >> i don't know. drop and retired. we have not. different outlook on life. grateful for every second. every hour, every day that we get to be here. >> good for her. she is incredible. >> finally, laura, i wish stores would stop accommodating looting. look at this video from earlier this week. the guard just let these people come in to take whatever they

want. why not let them try on shoes and get their sizes from the back. maybe consumer reparations. >> the real grinch is california governor gavin newsom who has announced, laura, that the annual tree lighting ceremony in sacramento is now canceled. due to pro-hamas protesters. newsom turned the tree ceremony into a virtual event and this woman thought she was attending the tree lighting in person. >> disappointed by the whole thing is sad. >> will you guys be watching virtually? >> probably not. >> laura, this is unbelievable. he heard there were going to be pro-hamas protesters at the tree lighting ceremony. so gavin newsom cancels a 92-year tradition and makes it a

virtual event. >> laura: makes him happy. >> did he this a few weeks ago when pro-hamas protesters invaded the democratic state convention in california. and they shut that down, too. collapsing to this mob, giving up religious and national traditions 92 year traditions that the majority hold dear. huge mistake politically culturally and many other ways. >> the gavin newsom who stole christmas. now, raymond, but this a point we have mentioned before. the pro-hamas crowd, the islamists, the political islamists, they are not just anti-semitic, they are anti christian, they are anti-judeo-christian tradition. there is a desire to dominate the culture with islam. that is kind of the ultimate goal of the political a pluralistic society is not acceptable. you see this kind of -- this so

totalitarianism. this is what it looks like. star out everything that i don't believe. that's not the american way and it's not the american system. >> laura: now, did they take the roast beast, too? is that -- all right, raymond, also in california, this time in san matteo, thieves are getting pretty brazen. this guy actually stole the christmas tree off of family's car roof. that's how desperate it's getting. >> i don't think can i top your yuletide outrage. porch pirates in antioch, california, actually stole a santa decoration from the family's front porch. i mean, the idea that you are taking joy from children stealing trees. these people should be prostituted to the full extent of the law and made an example of. do you know ohio hope comes and visits them cramp pass. i hope he is real. >> santa claus, why are you stuffing our tree up the chimney remember the grinch?

come on a meigs. the hallways look pretty but come on. >> laura: they do like some of the plastic reindeers in connecticut which i kind of liked 10 and 11. for the white house, we probably need to take it up a notch. >> i agree. >> laura: i noticed that the bidens did away with that tradition of putting out stockings for all the grandkids. so i guess once they acknowledged hunter's daughter that they had ignored the tradition was deep six. >> they totally got rid of that tradition. no more stockings for the grandkids. this is interesting. no grand kid stockings but a statue of commander, the killer dog that no longer lives at the white house. we have no idea where set. undisclosed location. they have christmas owe ahmadinejad to him. that's just what children want to think about when they walk through the white house a dog who eats secret servicemen.

jill biden opened a new ice rink with skater brian boitano. >> what is more magical and wonderful and joyful than being on an ice rink in the south lawn of the white house? >> laura lawyer is she reading notes? >> how about joe biden inaugurating the white house ice rink with a little hockey? >> guys got a lot of intensity. >> skater. regulation size or what? jeez. >> okay. mercifully, that didn't happen. biden was on the other side of the country in colorado. but it would have been fun. would have been fun to see him out on the ice. but, like the national christmas tree, laura, the other day, biden did take a spill or two verbally at least at a wind turbine factory of all places. >> has a code to blow up the

world. not nuclear weapons. okay. okay. , i am friend with mr. moon, you know, we are good guys. we could use a social security. cutting them like president conn trump and bowberg want to do. >> congressman want. i missed that press announcement. that will be news to the trump family, i imagine. >> raymond, i'm so -- i'm so blown away by every gaffe. whats what the first thing he said i have already forgotten it. it's like tales from the crypt but the crintd is. >> is he at wind purr bine factory but talking about nuclear codes. my marine has a code that can blow up the world. >> laura: that's it? >> why are you at wind turbine factory and second why are we talking about blowing up the world when the world is blowing up all around you.

>> laura: bombing in three minutes whatever they got on reagan. robert deniro presented an award gotham award furious edited anti-trump screed from the prompter. >> the beginning of my speech was edited and i want to read it. the former president lied to us more than 30,000 times is where i came in and i saw that they edited all that to apple and thank and all that gotham, blah, blah, blah. apple. but i don't feel like thanking them at all. [laughter] for what they did. how dare they do that. actually. >> oh my lord. laura, he was presenting an award for his own film. is anybody looking to robert deniro commentary of the former president? i think not. >> laura: so would o. didn't he threaten to punch somebody like trump? god bless him. god bless everyone this christmas season but, come on. >> embrace it. celebrate your movie.

stop talking politics. nobody turns to you for politics. good night. >> laura: he has got the nuclear codes. is he going to blow up the world. that takes the cake. all right. raymond, you spy a cultural trend as we move into the holiday season. >> laura, it seems no corner of the culture is safe crudest and vial behavior small world on sunday while park goers votes. they left his clothes behind >> oh, god, is he going to break all the stuff. oh my god. is he going to fall, dude the streaker showed just how small his world is. and then he waded out of the ride fully naked, laura.

if you are going to take all your clothe off on a disney attraction. why choose it's a small world? mr. toad's wild ride. maybe the carousel of progress you might be able to justify. who strips down in front of children at disney world. the man was eventually arrested and charged with being, imagine this, laura, under the influence of a controlled substance. >> laura: let's keep legalizing drugs it's all working out with us. there is a lot of jokes with the small, yeah. just too easy. his world was very small. permissiveness in drug use and no shame. even christmas is being profane. if you have been to the movies lately i made the mistake of going over the weekend two. holiday slashers on the big screen. thanksgiving about a maniac carving up people during thanksgiving and it's a wonderful knife, a slasher capper classic. i have to say i saw these

posters at the sin plex. i thought they were a joke. they are not. this is an emblem, laura of our cultural decay when you can't make up lifting or joy us movies around the holidays, you have to extend killing mutilation, maiming and death. >> laura: i mean, i would like to be surprised by this, i'm not surprised at all. i'm not surprised by the slasher and it's a small world. i was stuck for at least 45 minutes. i'm still scarred by that experience with the puppets moving. i got dizzy in there. i think i texted you from the ride. >> i remember. >> laura: i'm nods surprised by that i'm not surprised bee filing, defaming, disres disresg christians. of course they are. s that sponsored a satanic

worship tree. people are obviously furious. the ceo of the museum told a local nbc affiliate that though there had been complaints, some are praising their inclusivity. >> this is the problem, laura, it's not inclusive. this is indulging. it's indulging people who want to defame and deride religious practice and expression during the holiday. it's christmas. christmas is not your arena to ply narratives about the devil or hail satan or whatever you are hanging on your little christmas tree. this is a private entity. this national railroad museum. they should have kept them out. it's not a proper christmas display. these are christmas trees. if you don't want christmas trees, don't have any trees. that's how i see it. people should vote with their feet and stay away from that museum. i came across a particularly disturbing piece of clinical psychologists named i kid you not linda blare claims christmas carols are bad for your health i

asked visitors to new york if they agreed. >> a new report of clinical psychologists saying christmas songs are detrimental to your mental health. do you agree with that? >> christian carols. christian songs are never detrimental to anything. >> absolutely incorrect. it helps your mental health. it gives you hope in christ. >> i'm enjoying the music, the scenery, i'm walking around, i just wanted to feel the joy of love. >> puts the spirit in for the holidays. >> having children and a family, having that playing around the home they naturally are happier. >> let's keep in mind the spirit of the season. right? it's about christ. >> laura: that's nice. >> raymond: there are some grinchers who want to extinguish anything that has the whiff of god or faith about it. and, yeah, christmas songs, christ-mass. they are filled. they touch the divine and are filled with it. that's why they buckingham theyl

these centuries and we continue to sing the same songs. a source of joy and we need a lot of it. >> laura: biden gets handsy with birds and a pop star lashing out. that's next. ♪

news makers. we really try to strain to do that. beautiful bed that, beautiful bed at the willard hotel with that turkey, those are beautiful sheets and beautiful -- i mean, what happened with those that's what i'm thinking about. >> they had pads on that bed for obvious reasons. they were a little smelly, this tradition between a beautiful white house tradition and monument to abraham and tad lincoln. the idea of mercy and forgiveness lincoln extended to some after the civil war to bring the country together. but i think it's lost on the president. he did manage to pardon these turkeys liberty and bell, but you will have to pardon his set up. listen. >> now, just to get here, liberty and bell had to beat some tough odds, the competition work hard and show patience and travel over 1,000 miles.

cardi b. by the way, like so many others, the rock and some other celebrities, they supported biden in 2020. now they have buyer's remorse. she apparently doesn't like it like that. >> laura: raymond, raymond, first of all, i love the fact that she is going totally kas. i like the fact she is going totally comfortable with her audience. she is in her bath robe and i'm not sure is that a shower cap? i like that. she is just really natural. not all glammed up. like at the end of the day i'm going to speak my mind. >> raymond: this went on for 30 minutes this rant. >> laura: 30 minutes? >> raymond: yes, 30 minutes. people are clearly being affected by this and not just the working class or the middle class, these are people on the upper echelons of entertainment and society and they are feeling it. these are people who supported joe biden. so what you are seeing here is far beyond politics.

the cultural power of cardi b., the rock, and others, kevin hart, calling out the president in specific ways. this may have political consequences. >> laura: well, let me tell you, let me tell you this. cardi b. needs to go to chicago and l.a. thee needs to go all these places and thee needs to preach the gospel about what has happened to the country. not just on instagram. thee needs to preach the gospel to urban america. ♪ >> laura: up next, at the grand grandole opry house in nashvill. what happened there pray tell? you will find out next. you will find out next. joining christian health care ministries was one of the best decisions we ever made.

>> laura: it's time for seen and unseen where we reveal the stories behind the headlines and for that we turn to fox news contributor raymond arroyo. earlier we discussed this politico piece where they suggested jonathan martin that biden can't govern or run a campaign like other presidents. shocking report. >> yeah, political also suggests laura and you mentioned it earlier, his staff doesn't trust him to even try. now, they have good reason for those concerns. today, the president welcomed the stanley cup winning vegas

golden knights. though it's not exactly clear he knows he's the president. >> president harris to make sure we do this the right way. >> president harris is here to make sure we do it the right way. the other president, biden, appeared before an auto workers union last week laura, after struggling to done a union t-shirt he then struggledled with his syntax. >> you had no choice, they had no choice because of what you did. you helped everybody. and, look, and i want to thank you for your commitment to the solidarity. i also want to recognize ford gm and stellantis. they negotiated ultimately in good faith and the auto workers will be rewarded. >> laura the president has to be capable of basic speech or at least reading a teleprompter particularly if he's going to run and try and stay in power

for four more years. this is just, it's a tragedy what we're seeing. >> well, it's a plan, they have a plan and the plan is praying out. you don't think president chicago loves this? he loves the fact he's walking into a room and biden doesn't have the capacity. >> but, laura, the president is in a state of near constant bewilderment. at a veteran's day ceremony over the weekend, he seemed totally lost, flipping through the program trying to figure out what to do and even laying a wreath is an exercise in confusion. he puts it down then he goes back and then the soldier has to tell him go back the your seat sir. please go back to your seat and then he returns dutifully to his seat which he miraculously found. jonathan martin had in his piece and it's very interesting, his two big points. when the gop go low the dems go f'ing lower. okay, the other thing is basically abortion is going to save the democratic party. if that's all they have to run,

when people are feeling an economic pinch over the last four years, i think they're going to be in big trouble with this kind of performance. >> well, that's it, pot, porn, abortion and an open border. that's their campaign. okay. so that's it. that's it. >> biden is not only bewildered, raymond, he's, as a public figure but soccer star megan rapinoe went down in the last game of her career, it was actually sad. she claims she for her achilles tendon which is a horrible injury, just ask aaron rodgers. here's how she described it. >> i mean, you know, i'm not a religious person or anything and if there was a god, like this is proof that there isn't because [bleep] up. so, yeah. i just' [bleep]ed up because six minutes in i [bleep] my achilles what the [bleep]. >> warming woman, we have to bleep everything she says she's

society good with her language. maybe the injury is proof there is a god. he lifts us up and he humbles up maybe megan will have time to on that. contrast rapinoe with houston texans quarterback c.j. strom listen to him. >> all glory to my lord and savior jesus christ. hard fall game great beg beginning always team over there they prove it week in and week out. that's what this league is about tough wins. all glory goes to god i'm blessed to be on this texas team and play with my teammates. >> laura, can you ever remember a sports person taking full credit for everything they do, their prowess on the field, their luck in the game. i've never seen that until megan rapinoe. >> i always call her rapinoe. is it rapinoe? have i been saying it wrong the whole time. i have a mental block.

you know victor davis hanson, he has a few names, we kind of tease him about it. that's my achilles heel, i can't say her last name. >> well don't pop your achilles tendon whatever you do. but i have to get this story. there's a secularization happening across society. you heard it with rapinoe, now even christmas is being secular iced. according to wisconsin right now, that's an organization, a city administrator reminded workers that not everyone celebrates christmas. so departments should row train from using religious decorations or those solely associated with christmas such as red and green colors when decorating in public spaces within city buildings she suggests some neutral inclusive decorations like snowflakes, snow people, or festive lighting, laura. this is quite a doozy. i wonder, is she concerned about those who don't celebrate flag

day or kwanzaa? this is only dragged out, this kind of exclusion area stuff, when christmas rolls around >> laura: i think they should try that in new orleans taking christmas out of everything. that wouldn't go over in new orleans. >> it's a federal holiday it shouldn't happen everywhere. we're free to express ourself and that's not government endorsement. >> laura: no it is not. raymond great to see you as always. i hope you enjoyed this as much as we did and had a relaxing day with your families maybe you caught a little football. thanks for being with us every step of the way last year but this next year, it's going to be fun. so stay with us on the oil. thanks again for watching this special edition of the ingraham angle. happy new year remember it is america now and forever. jesse watters, takes it from here. >> jesse: welcome to jesse watters primetime.
