[21 gun salute] >> democracy is never guaranteed. every generation must preserve it, defend it, and fight for it. [taps] >> american, world war ii veterans, you stand released. we have the -- ♪ >> laura: i'm laura ingraham. which t "the ingraham angle" frm washington tonight.

thanks for joining us. biden on the cliff. that's the focus of tonight's angle. >> it was a beautiful somber setting in france to commemorate the 80th anniversary of d-day today. the few remaining world war ii vets on their final mission. the biden team hoped that the president's remarks would resonate with voters back home, showcasing him as a reaganesque figure who would unite americans and the rest of the world behind his vision. but, the speech they wrote for him merely demonstrated how muddled, unserious, and unrealistic their thinking is. first, the biden folks seemed to think that they can convince us that russia and ukraine poses the same existential threat to the west as germany did in 1944. >> we will not walk away. if we do, ukraine will be subjugated and will not end there. ukraine's neighbors will be

threatened. all of europe will be threatened. in their hour of trial the allied forces of d-day did their duty. now the question for us is in our hour of trial, will we do ours? >> laura: this is simply ridiculous. european nations themselves are so unconcerned about the russian threat that to this day many of them are meeting their own targets. that was decided back in 2014 to spend 2% of their g.d.p. on defense. now, under these circumstances, biden's speech comes across as just irresponsibly fear-mongering. that could actually end up with our getting into a nuclear war with the former soviet union. especially the fact that now biden has authorized that ukraine can use american weapons to fire into russia. >> are american weapons being used right now inside russia. >> they are authorized to be

used in proximity to the border. we are not authorizing strikes 200 miles into russia. we are not authorizing strikes into moscow on the kremlin. >> laura: oh, thanks. remember the 200-mile rule now. that's no problem at all. this cavalier attitude given where this can lead, which putin responded forcefully to yesterday. >> we are thinking that if they considerate it possible to deliver such weapons to the combat zone to launch strikes on our territory and create problems for us why don't we have the right to supply weapons of the same type to some regions of the world where they can be used to launch strikes on sensitive facilities of the countries that do it to russia. the answer may be a a met tric. >> laura: this is not good. >> suffered tremendous losses with russia.

the numbers are staggering, 350,000 russian troops dead or wounded. nearly 1 million people have left russia because they can no longer see a future in russia. >> laura: now, contrast that celebration of the blood shed in this conflict to trump's call for peace five years ago at normandy. >> what do you pray for when you pray for this country? >> peace. really peace. and we build up our military. we built up our wealth. we built up everything. our country is in such great shape right now. iran is much different position than they were two and a half years ago. two and a half years ago iran was a disaster for us. now they are -- they have got problems. let's put it that way. they are not the same country. north korea, no nuclear tests. we are going to see what happens. china wants to make a deal. everybody wants to make a deal. we are the best. we are the strongest. there is nobody even close.

>> laura: wow. what a change to today and another big problem with biden's remarks his comments on democracy. >> we're living in a time when democracy is more at risk across the world than any point since the end of world war ii. now we ask ourselves we stand against tyranny? against evil? against crushing brutality? of the iron fist? or will we stand for freedom? will we bend for democracy. will we stand together? my answer is yes and only can be yes. >> laura: this is nonsense. if we were truly worried about the fate of democracy, well, biden himself would be laser focused on the rise of china, which is the only existential threat to democracy around the globe today with the power of china. instead, his doj and his party are focused on putting their political opponents in jail. that's democracy while his cabinet members and big donors fly to beijing to kiss president

xi's ring. yeah. even future democrat contenders are in on the china flattery competition. >> expectation as you suggest of turning the page, of renewing our friendship, reengaging foundational, fundamental issues that will determine our collective fate and future. >> laura: for several years now, the angle has warned the white house that their problems are not communications issues that can be solved with a new speech or a new slogan. we need better policies. and we need to put the ukraine situation in the right perspective. putin is a horrible dictator, but he isn't a supreme threat to the united states of america. we need a president who sees our domestic policy that it should be geared towards restoring u.s. manufacturing and decoupling us from the communist regime in china. and then reestablishing our ability to once again serve as

the arsenal of democracy. that is the peace through strength that president reagan spoke about. an entire biden apparatus has it backwards. for them, it will be war through weakness. divide the country at home, turn americans. history, spend us into impossible debt levels, leave our southern border open, then ask americans to sign up to defend finland and sweden against russia? i'm not sure they're going to like the answer our young people give them about fighting to serve that mission. by trying to draw parallels to reagan, biden's staff only underscores the extent to which the united states has declined over the past ask yourself she was in 1984 moronic to make this

comparison. won 49 states and 525 electoral votes in 1984: too? these are moments from today that our press will not show you. biden confused upon arriving at the event. [applause] biden making sure he follows directions. >> laura: you are not supposed to tell people that biden gets pulled back by dr. jill as as as macron d-day vets. ♪ ♪

>> laura: this is our commander-in-chief. if in a biden second term, there is a realistic chance that american troops are going to be fighting russian troops, then president biden and the white house and the pentagon they need to be honest about this now. >> listen closely to today's speech. and to blinken's aggressive remarks lately, and you can hear the war drums beating in the background. biden was on the cliff today, but if he is going to push us over the cliff of war, we should all take that into account come election day. and that's the angle. joining us now is victor davis hanson be senior fellow at the hoover institution. reagan comparison, victor, i think we should de delve more io that. >> we in america have learned bitter lessons from two world wars. we have learned that isolationism never was and never will be an acceptable response

to tyrannical governments with an expansionist intent. >> and then biden today. >> isolationism was not the answer 80 years ago, and it is not the answer today. we know the dark forces that these heroes fought against 08 years ago. they never fade. >> laura: victor, reagan was against isolationism. biden is against isolationism. is the parallel real? >> no. reagan spoke from confidence. you noticed how quiet he was and determined. he wasn't screaming or yelling. he was a member of that generation. and he was as close to d-day as he is to biden. it's a different world. and ronald reagan in that speech actually said to the russians that we didn't want a war with them. but what he was doing was speaking softly and carrying a big stick. he was ushering in 7% economic growth in 1984. he had rebuilt the military. and he was essentially saying to

the world we are very strong but we're not going to brag about it. we don't want war with you but it would be a very stupid thing to challenge the united states. biden in contrast is the baby boomer. so he is loud and he carries a twig. he ruined the border, hyper inflation. we owe $36 trillion. we are printing $34 billion a day. and military is short 45,000 troops. he thinks he can make up that material reality that debt by screaming and yelling and talking about russia and doing all of this. it's just the wrong way to do it. and you have to be quiet and strong and not loud and weak. he is weak and he is loud. and that's why he is loud because he knows what he has done to the military. he knows what he has done to the economy. and now he is trying to beat us over -- most americans, like reagan, would like to help ukraine defend itself. the majority do not want to give weapons to ukraine to carry offensive operations inside russia. because we remember this generation grew up with the

cuban missile crisis, laura. we know what happens when a surrogate is given offensive weapons as cuba was by russia. john kennedy stopped it right there. but we came right to the brink of defcon 1. >> laura: victor they are taking us to the close to the edge of war here are they not? >> i know it. they are. >> laura: listen closely, this is now getting very real and putin's response seemed extremely serious. he can bluster, obviously as well. but his response seemed different than before. >> no. you are absolutely right. we had an insane idea that a country with 30 million people that's lost a quarter of its population to exoduses was going to defeat russia with 150 million, 30 times the area, 10 times the g.d.p., and we advise them for this ridiculous spring offensive that was going to butt ahead fortified line when it didn't happen now what? maybe we should attack the russian homeland maybe that's a good idea. it never was a good idea.

we all wanted to protect the homeland of ukraine, but that is not what this administration thought. they thought we're going to use ukraine as a proxy for a geo strategic plan to weaken russia. and russia has got 6500 deliverable nuclear weapons. and that's a very dangerous thing to have this gambit at our expense. so he should be quiet. he should build up our -- yeah, and look at china. look at china, not russia. >> laura: helping russia, by the way. hillary posted today, victor. and i know you instantly get her tweet. she said 80 years ago today, thousands of brave americans fought to protect democracy on the shores of normandy. this november, all we have to do is vote. another trump hitler comparison, victor, because it's worked so well for them so far. >> yeah. well we all -- that's true in a way we all have to vote because we can make sure that these people are not continuing to wreck the country, whether it's

the border, inflation, foreign policy, the whole bit. so everybody should be listening. she is right about that vote. you can preserve the country as reagan knew it and don't vote or vote for this administration that's dissent. reagan was coming off of the carter disaster and confident in assent. biden is coming off the trump renaissance and is he going downward. it's completely opposite, laura. asen dance and desen dance from a prior administration. >> laura: victor you are the perfect person to have on today, thank you so much. biden's executive order banning asylum multiple. it was in full effect yesterday. what impact did it have? fox news national correspondent bill melugin is here with all the details. what can you tell us? >> laura that bill is in effect it is having little to zero impact. if anything gotten busier in san diego sector. a large group that just crossed

illegally a short time ago. many of them from egypt. from china, and from turkey. they are now out here waiting for border patrol in the hot sun. but border patrol is busy elsewhere. here is why. take a look at this video a couple hours ago on the other side in jacumba bigger group of 200 that crossed illegally all at once. single adults from all around the world, even though this asylum ban is in effect, many of them will tell you they are not here for asylum. i went down the line and i asked some of these guys where they are from. take a listen. >> bill: where are you from. >> mauritania. >> bill: mauritania. where are you from? what country? china? >> china. >> bill: china. where are you guys from? mexico, guatemala. >> china. >> where are you from. >> guatemala. bit. >> bill: where are you from. >> india. >> india. >> brazil. >> brazil? >> india. >> bill: laura, that's not it. we had another group this time in a different location down by the border wall, another mass illegal crossing, this group

primarily columbians and venezuelans, mostly ginseng gel adults. they are not afraid of this asylum ban. several of them telling me they are not even here for asylum. they are here to meet up with family or to work. and they are planning on getting released. take a listen. [speaking spanish] >> california. >> bill: san francisco? [speaking spanish] . >> bill: can you see behind us right now this group of migrants being helped out by ngo giving them water and food. laura, the bottom line here the biden administration was clearly hoping this executive order, this asylum ban was going to curb illegal crossings here at the southern border. that ain't happening. there were more than 4,000 illegal crossings yesterday alone. it's been extremely busy out here in san diego sector. based off what we have seen it's

not working. send it back to you. >> doesn't look like a lot of moms and babies. looks like mostly working aged men, bill. do i have that right? 70 to 80% what we see single men about my age never with family. always alone, no kids, no wives. they all say they are here to work. at whether a bill? thank you so much. >> same democrats that want trump in jail say they are worried they will be political prisoners, here, if he gets elected. that line is going to work. that's next. ♪

political opponent in jail. >> laura: they are terrified. they always promise they will leave the country and never do. if trump wins a political term he will put people in jail. pot meet kettle. trying to put trump behind bars. the irony is apparently lost upon them or the hypocrisy. it's a classic case of projection. >> it has to stop because otherwise we are not going to have our country. look, when this election is over, based on what they have done, i would have every right to go after them we can't have this stuff go on. when biden goes out everybody says bye-bye and then he gets indicted two days later and they go after him? the country doesn't wanted that. and, do you know what? they didn't want it with hillary clinton either. >> laura: joining us now missouri senator josh hawley. senator, it's like jail trump because he is going to jail us.

have you ever heard of a more ludicrous framing of an election that people care about the issues of inflation the economy and the border? if iit is so tired, laura. they have actually done it. they are trying to put trump in jail. let's not forget he has been indicted what is it 64 separate indictments? these are the people who are burning down every institution that stands in between their way and power. by the way, it's not only trump. i mean, where is the fbi showing up? they're showing up at pro-life demonstrators' doors. they are sending swat teams to come and grab pro-life demonstrators and put him on trial. >> laura: for years. >> absolutely. for years. the message biden is sending is if you oppose them, they will try to jail you. it's hilarious to hear them now say trump will do it. they are the ones doing it which is why they need to go. a new quinnipiac poll from georgia is showing on this issue that they say they care so much

about. preserving democracy, 49%, senator, say that trump will preserve democracy better versus 46% on biden. now, this is everything that they have banked elections on abortion and democracy. how is that working out for them? >> it's working out terrible. start that having a candidate sent yentd, awake, alive and can speak. the american people aren't stupid. they look out and say yeah, we want democracy to function. in order to have it functioning you have to have a leader that's functioning. biden is not. not to mention that he has been terrible and is himself a criminal. this is a guy who has sold influence and access at every stage of his career. it's unbelievable, laura. i mean, listen, to me, no surprise that trump is leading in that metric because people want this country to work again. they want the border to be safe. they want to be able to go outside and not be shot at. they want to be able to afford

their gas. you want democracy in the country needs to work and trump will make it work. >> laura: now, i thought also hilarious, i left something off the list. it's abortion. it's democracy. and, of course, it's, you know, jailing trump. that's their strategy. but after the conviction of trump on that bogus charge in new york. we compared 538, the polling data from them last thursday when trump was convicted to today, and it shows virtually no change in national polling. so, 61%, i guess in one of the surveys says it doesn't affect them at all and, of course, that's reflected in this poll. >> >> yeah, of course it is. i mean, what do the american people want? especially, laura, voters out there, working people, try to provide for their families. you know what? they would like to be able to get a job in this country that hasn't been taken by illegal immigrant. they would like to send their kids to the bus stop and not have them shot at or stabbed including by some illegal

immigrant. they have would like to be able to afford gas. it's not hard. you look at trump's years in office and you compare them to now? my gosh, you take that record any day of the week and twice on sunday. there is no comparison whatsoever. >> laura: all right. senator, good to see you. up next, trump's veepstakes, it's getting very interesting. some names on the list and some names that aren't. up next. ♪ ego, the number one rated brand in cordless outdoor power brings you the select cut mower. customize the cut with three interchangeable blades. it cuts for over

bret baier those sources include north dakota doug burgum florida senator marco rubio and ohio senator j.d. vance. those are the top three names. others being vetted tom cotton, tim scott, elise stefanik and ben carson. matt, let's start with you. how much of a difference in the polling do you think, in case, given that trump will be a one-term president does the v.p. pick make? >> you know, laura, i have never been one to believe that the v.p. pick really changes things a lot. i mean, it can have a boost, certainly a temporary boost. the campaign always gets one when the attention turns on the candidate. as long as the candidate doesn't melt down or have some flaw that no one knows about. it can certainly give some momentum. i don't believe that people vote for the most part based on the vice president. i think they base it on the president. they just want a good running mate.

someone who is competent and in my opinion they want somebody that has a personality, which is something the republicans always do well when they choose personality like a ronald reagan or a donald trump and if you are thinking about the future. individual who will probably be the nominee of the party next time it will be that person who has chosen for vice president. so i think trump has a lot to do with this: on the right track. >> according to the bidding site the clear favorite is tim scott senator from south carolina. 17.5% implied probability. doug burgum comes in with a healthy second at 1.3%. back to this point, i mean, in this case, the vice presidential pick seems to me to matter a little bit, given those suburban women that you have to pull in and maybe some establishment types who still aren't comfortable pulling the lever for trump. >> i mean, i typically looked at the vice presidential candidate as just a rounding out of the ticket. this time i actually do believe it matters more because whoever

ends up being the vice presidential pick could end up being the defactor candidate for a period of time. look how far the democrats have demonstrated their willing to take this lawfare against donald trump. there is a very real possibility that judge merchan either puts donald trump in jail or tries to sideline him with house arrest. so whoever ends up being the vice presidential pick could end up being the one that's on tv screens across the country, the one that rallies really trying to get voters to turn out and get excited about the republican ticket. so, typically, i would say, you know, not that big of a deal. but now, under this scenario, and this really strange period of time we are in, maybe more. >> laura: all right. let's go through some picks. doug burgum, north dakota governor, some pros with him. proven as an executive, of course, is he wealthy, and is he business-minded but the con, name recognition comes from obviously a small state trump easily wins that. thoughts on that, matt? >> well, i think the reason is

he on that list as soon as he got out of the race he showed intense loyalty to trump. and i think that's one of the things trump is going to be looking for. he wants a vice president who he knows is going to have his back the entire four years. and so that's why i think he is on that list. >> laura: lisa, let's go to rubio because he is someone whose name has been mentioned now for a while. you have the constitutional issue with being from the same state. he does appeal a lot of moderates. he does have national name recognition. he is known to be a little bit more hawkish than trump on foreign policy but also obviously the cons being from florida and not a lot of executive experience and trump campaign fodder for biden? >> i like senator ruby, i thinko challenges you pointed out lacking that executive experience. again depending on what happens in the sentencing in july this vice presidential pick could really end up mattering in terms

of voters looking at this person as potentially the one that could, you know, inevitably run the government to a certain degree. i don't know if he has that executive experience so i think that might be a challenge for him. >> laura: j.d. vance, of course, senator from ohio. the pros for him, matt, he does have the rust belt voters. a lot of the appeal there. is he one of the youngest senators and really in sync with trump on the big issues but some of the cons, fairly new, less than two years in the senate. may open up a vulnerable senate seat and also, obviously, another state that trump is going to likely win. matt, thoughts on vance. >> well, i just spent three weeks in ohio and cincinnati. i could tell you that vance has won over people who originally didn't think they were going to like him. maybe didn't even vote for him. he is really gotten his groove on there in that state. and he now has people who are in the middle. i consider to be sort of middle road establishment type

republicans liking what he is doing. so he could be, you know, a really strong choice for trump. and he performs well on television. he does extremely well as does marco rubio as well. >> doing this again very soon. >> fever is already here. my advice for trump, next. ♪

poorer and less safe. >> it's hard to, like, afford your everyday living. what i make isn't even enough to pay my bills. >> the gas is always higher here gas prices are high. everything is high. >> making more money now than i have ever did in my life and it's paycheck to paycheck. >> laura: now, they are going to want to try to bait trump on the trial and the conviction. but i would dispense with that pretty quickly. focus on the border. we all know the ugly facts and, of course, day by day it gets worse and worse. but they can run through the carnage that biden's policies created, it was purposeful this open border and trump should say so. >> the wave of scooter crimes sparked months after tens of so thousands of migrants started arriving in new york city. >> our shooter entered the country from venezuela. he entered through eagle pass, texas back in july of 2023. so we know that he answered the country illegally. >> he has been in our jail 11

them your advice to president trump. >> i would say first, watch the three reagan presidential debates. notice the style, the calmness, the use of humor. staying balanced. second, answer the question you wish they would have asked. don't get involved in games with the reporters. every person on that stage is anti-trump. accept that going in and just relax. and then i would, as often ace could, i think, i would say to biden have you been to a grocery store? do you have any idea the damage your policies have done to everyday americans? and i would talk with the american people not with the politicians. and i would make my could entire debate about the future of the american people and the fact that biden is a failure. it's not complicated. i think if biden starts talking about taxes, i might be tempted to say you mean people who cheat on their taxes like hunter? i mean, is that what your

reference is to? i think if biden tries to pretend he knows foreign policy, i think that's legitimate to turn and say, you know, putin was a kjb lt. colonel in germany 40 years ago. did you really know him 40 -- i don't understand what you were saying. did you really know him? and, look, i think the more that trump -- trump should be cheerful. talk to the american people. answer the question you wish they had asked, and then occasionally, ask biden questions about biden's behavior. i think the debate would be over. >> laura: how about -- since biden hates answering questions because he has to fumble around for notes. ask biden questions like why did you abandon minority voters? why did you promise them the moon and yet their cities are laid waste to by illegal immigration and crime? why have you done that to the country? i think biden will collapse just if you pose a few questions on

behalf of the people, who have suffered so much under his policies, newt, what about that? >> well, i think that's part of it. the other is the trump campaign should push very hard to have it be standing debate, not sitting. and should push very hard to have no notes. i mean, if trump, obviously, can operate without notes because he does it all the time. >> laura: right. >> it biden had to actually go into a debate with no notes. interesting how many minutes in running pool how many minutes it will take biden to start falling apart. >> laura: cnn is breaking from tradition, mouth, maybe you saw this "new york post" reporting commercial breaks in this debate and trump agreed to all these rules. is he going to need get some help in the commercials? i mean, i don't know what is going on with that. >> this is a cheap shot, laura, so forgive me. if you had cnn's ratings, you would try to sell every ad you

could for any reason and i think that's part of it. part of it is just straight out they need the money. and part of it is, of course, biden needs a couple of questions the question there will be he shouldn't be allowed to wear anything in his ear so he doesn't get any coaching. during the debate. during the breaks, he has to stay on the stage. be interesting to see if biden could stay on a stage for 90 minutes, trump, of course, routinely stays on the stage for 90 minutes because he gets rolling. >> laura: newt, wonderful to see you. thank you so much. up next, our woke military keeps asking for more of your money, next. ♪
