possible. please hit dvr so you never miss an episode. in meantime let not your heart be troubled. laura is next. have a great weekend. see you on monday. . . i am laura ingraham this angela kokott will from tampa florida in moment the governor will join me for extended inter view. but first, voting with their feet. that's focus of tonight's angle. >> now judging by latest data maybe you have seen it, people want to get the hell out of california illinois and new york. those three states all registered sharpest overall population loss lasts year. so what heck is everybody moving

well one of most popular place is without doubt here in florida we saw population increase by 211,000 between july 2, '02 and july 2021. and by way it is not just people moving. of the 5.8 million new businesses in application between january 21st and 22 stunning 12% were right here in florida. now with these numbers, it is no wonder that florida governor is way up in the polls in reelection race and nation wide he building profile impressive fund raising operation. with all of the over all of things we just talked about liberal governors with ambitions for national office have denied including that walking pile of higher gel new some. he defeated recall effort his state realing from high crime, under performing schools. flood aliens and water shoejs

and high taxes. and adjusting that reality new some lashes out. >> all of you living in glory join the fight. or join us in california we still believe in freedom. freedom of speech and freedom of hate and freedom to love. don't let them take your freedom. >> what freedom look like in california? well certainly does not in clue being free destructive covid policies. because right now, 42% of of the could un-tree classified by cdc as having high community 250e threats in l.a. county among the few in united states threat threatening to resume an indoor mask mandate. people are sort of saying you know put is masks really asking a lot folks. we have to lot more of everybody. for much longer time for much of the past two years. and of course the connected wealthy in california never have to suffer under the same rules

as everybody else. and by the way that monster barbara who not even a medical doctor but fumbling health director was seen major league bases ball all star game maskless. now new some controls about freedom all he want to to don't make freedom in skyrocketing crime. 65% of californian view violence and street crime as problem. 34% say it is a big problem. and certainly isn't freedom flourish because new article reports that san francisco businesses struggle to hang on to tech workers. and last year that was resulted in whopping $400 million hit to tax revenue. under the concept of freedom californians with are increasing feeling trapped. and as a result we have on an exodus of 1 million residents just over the past few years. wow. and over half of them tell researchers they have considered moving out of the state.

but new some is not bothered by any of this. he more concerned with man in florida as i governor mappings nearly 3,000 miles away. now, he does not use his name but we know he is the target. i do believe education under assault anyways that i never experienced in my lifetime. banning books? suppressing speech? the other -- going after gays going after people across spectrum. going after vulnerable minorities. i can't take it stop being bullied. stop treating people differently. something called success full of that's the problem. now all want to be contenders take their shots. including illinois governor. now because he done such bang up job in his state yeah sure. if so why did illinois loss 122,000 rest accidents?

it is a largest decline in state history. and financial giants moving baits from chicago to miami. because of the rising crime rates and taxes in chicago is the primary reason behind the move. and that's small company called boeing you may have heard it also ditching it chicago for northern virginia. can you blame of these companies? and just like newsome instead of attacking problem in his own state. he lashes at 2k3w06s who are actually doing their job. he traveled to glory glory last weekend to stay at the trying to pass off his covert raysism as more reege form trump republicanism. never have such large man levelled such small minded smear. it would be remiss in our rounds up of failed left wing governors if we didn't mean governor hochul. but new york times called exodus

a once a century shock. writing it racism certainly about competitiveness and economic stability. and because they were refoosing to change their policy on crime and taxes. governor and mayor revert to lame stunts. again, focussed on florida. mayor adam spent taxpayer money to buy bill boards in florida to suggesting his city was more gay friendly. governor, piled on. and went step further in calling crew and. she marketing her state an abortion destination. of course the promotes growth, she promotes death. that says it all. joining us now and i am delighted he is with us. the governor, why are these failed left wing governors deciding to hit you all of a sudden? you are just guy you are the man of moment. i think if you look like california they never lost population from sounding of the

state until this currents governor has been in office. they illinois member rajjing people. new comboeshg and tax bases are getting narrower because people are bringing wealth to florida and opportunities to floor they see that and they understands but here is inc. this it is result of us having good policies but also them driving people away with their terrible policies. i mean it is dangerous to be in these like los angeles and chicago now. they don't support the police. they have prosecutors that will not prosecute crimes people that are funded by george soros. so quality life has diminished and thing about florida when people move from those states here's what they tell me people are proud to be mother and happy to be if north. i didn't recognize tampa. i haven't been here in 15 years. it is one fastest growing cities if not the fastest growing city they united states now. in think what they did some

someone like governor locking schooling kids out of school for year. forcing them to cover their faces. forcing them to take covid who shot that they doeven need or want that's what they consider freedom? to be in california and florida we lifted people. they called you dangerous. because we are protecting people's jobs and businesses making sure kids could be in school all of those left wing governors opposed me when i schooled open in state of florida now what's happening? people are learning loss. well, of course that was going to happen we knew that. all of them were wrong on all of these issues. and here is thing laura even our worst critics frisker himself he sent his family to florida. during the lockdown so while people of illinois are suffering under his petty tyranny his family down levelling in freedom in state of florida. someone find a way to be in florida. whether that's aoc whether

governors or mayors and that tells you all would need to know. >> of the three that i mentioned, who done more damage to their state do you think? >> oh, man. well i will tell you this. i think that illinois and new york have had problems for long time. i think that problems in california have cell arrested in such rapid direction since this governor has been in. with the crime. obviously they are want to tax everybody. i think they have had probably worst of it in last few years. >> of all of problems in in the country you are micro cutsism here let's say top three approximate what are they and who would you solve them. i think clearly inflation energy. far and away are crippling american families. you think about when biden came into office? declared war on american energy so somehow it is fine to take oil from venz but he i don't

want oil here while result has been those energy but it is hurting the entire economy. and then printed trillions of dollars and they were warned not just people like me who he in are not going to listen there liberal con military who worked for bill clean complin for ambassador if you do this you are going to spark inflation and so they you look florida. income tax. great job growth. labor force all of that. so we are getting state policies right. but you have to inflation that's really waving people down. that's what he met by far are top issues everything connected to that. and strategic petroleum reserve biden froze the other day. he has become anti-production. i am not putting new oil into system but releasing million barrels a day. >> that's not making a difference and that's not used for. you kneecap your energy

producers. we got totally backwards. here is the thing. he ran for president saying he was going shut down oil and gas. these things you run modern economy on winds mills. you can do not do that so we have an opportunities to be energy independent in this country. if we have right policy. biden not letting that happen and the american people are suffering. those concerns around united states china buying up large amounts land. and i know plenty of pieceses writteden about chinese purchases residential real estate drive dry is prices up here in florida do you have any kefrnls with about that. i think the problem is companies have ties to the ccp and it is not all apparent on face of whatever company is doing. but i think it is a huge problem. influence they have. what we have done in florida. i signed legislation to crackdown including this we ban con fish shus insuits they try

to go higher he had during indication and try to use their propaganda. we are going to legislation about our pension investments. maybe we certainly have a lot of it but we want to make sure we are cutting ties to -- we not funding our number within unme. is that also apply to chinese students here in united states. mike pompeo has spoken about 360,000 chinese student who are in our universities. he he a problem with that. >> i think there are cause for concern. what are they doing taking back? you know all of things that elites told us to do with china over the years most favored nation status. the them in wto they will be just like us. it has been opposite. empowered them. and been they become auto cat tick and they flexing muscles ever than they have ever in our lifetime. kamala aharris also attacked

you. you got to read between the lines. this was from last week as well. how form midible is she in the future for the democrat party? >> so here is the thing. i thought biden as worst decision everybody because she not great but she like best impeachments insurance any one could have. even though he can barely read tell re prompter and much as people disapprove him. nobody wants harris they much rather stick with biden than actually turn the wheel of powers to somebody that's clearly is over -- in over her head. >>ly was attacked while campaigning yesterday with a guy brass nukes wills. it could have been you cannily but it was downplayed by the press. it wasn't not really covered as would know it would have been if were some kind of conservative activist. how concerned are you about violence any politicians on

campaign trails or in public events? . when >> what are they trying to breath kavanaugh you have someone trying to kill brett kavanaugh. >> i know that here is thing. new york soft on crime policies what do they do with this guy? they released him. he back on streets. you know you don't go o subpoena in for this kangaroo committee. but yes if go owe tension will see assays nit governor candidate they just put you right back on streets. very, very troubling. >> january 6th hearings going until accepts. it is no concern of most americans. millions of dollars spent here. thoughts on what you have seen here. they just trying divert from biden problems. they realize on bread butter issues biden and democratics have failed american people that's not even up for debate lot of their own voters think

they have failed on the key issues. what they want to make election about something other than what top concerns for the american people. it is not going to work it may help them funds raise with think left wing base but american people are not going to be diverted. >> were you printed like liz china we have not heard from on other conservative issues. >> i don't have think i everybody talked with him. >> i knew ding because i was with him for new terms we are number of vettians. but never really worked. any republican have gotten as much blow glowing president as lids cline chain. here way it works in dc if you are democrat and you step out of line against the party the media scare you. if you are republican and steps out of line and attacks other republicans you are best thing sliced bread. you got profile on "washington post." you get book been on cnn just

par for the course. i would hope most republicans are smart enough to realize that if media likes you then you must not be doing a very good job if you are doing goods job for conservative voteders they are going to attack you. your good ratio shell wrote a piece in miami herald saying, thank you, gender farmingtoning care medically necessary safe and effect for transgender children, should not be hard translate into knowledge it is more compassion national policies. that protect rather under mine youth mental health. she said florida supports this gender affirming care. >> they will actually take a young boy and cast straight the boy. they will take a young girl and do sterilize her because of the again -- i problems. there is no evidence that this something that's effective medical care and we know that people do when they are kids

have huge problems going on. so we believe that this is not appropriate in state of florida. we don't think doctor should get a license if they are doing it. i think these doctors should be able to sued by these folks when they develop problems later in life, this is wrong. minors should not be having this type of stuff performed on them. >> well there is a concern at the same time plan parents hood with help of some of teacher un unions may be setting up shop public schools across the united states as more of a count willing organization. that's what it come down posts roe. >> we have a bright line in sand. cooling system educate not indoctrinate. we ban crt we had big problem with disney we say no den gender idea some gee. we are going keep with that so union trying politicize trying to bring in left wing groups. we will fight that.

the woke corporation american didn't really understands until you took on disney. has there been any blow back in the state after you took on the big mouse? >> i think people were happy. because they don't run this state. and it is not right to have public policy captive to massive corporation and they have gotten mother subsidiarys than any company in history of our state. they have their own government. they were ex-em from laws. tax breaks we took action you can say what you want those corporate are not consist tests with our values. you will not have your own government and live under same laws as everybody else and you will pay for your fair shares of taxes. your wife kate is friends of mine she went three very difficult cancer struggle. i did many years ago. what have you learned from that, in that health struggle as husband and father. >> i will tell you what she incredibly strong throughout it it is not easy you gone through it. i think especially in her case i

mean at that time when we got diagnosis, we had a 4 and 3 and 1 year old. now 5, 4 and 2. so think like when something like that happens to you and you start to think mortality, then you look and you have wonderful little babies. mothers should not be situation potentially dying when they kids to raise so think it was lots of weight on our schultz -- hes. i think she was looking but decided you know what? i am going to handle it. i rather it be me than someone else. it was not easy. but i will tell you she clicking on all cylinders now and it is kids are harder to keep up with. so we don't get a lot of rest around the house but she is certainly you know recovered from that and doing very, very well. >> governor, i know you had busy day today. thank you very much. we really appreciate you. >> just how about this november shaping four democrats we are going overall of details with senator rick scott.

thank you. senate what lot of republicans are worried about. let's start in pennsylvania. we have john featherman who has been m a. and mi aagain doctor oz very well-known what's going to happen there? >> oz is going to win. if all this tied to money. we got raise money but dr. oz not only a good day guy he case of about this state. he working hard. every time i talk to him he is campaign trail. putterman no where to seen. >> he has $9 million. i think oz has 1.5. where are the republican? we got to raise the money. democrat always have more money if you want to help us you can help us. you can him get money but he going to run good race. he hard worker. he is a doctor he cares about people. >> we got to get money. isn't best arguments races even getting away interest individual vote for democrat is a vote for high gas prices.

>> gas price. food price. afghanistan began withdrawal. open border. biden numbers are horrible because biden policies are bad and democrats. they are voting horribly. >> yes vote for democrat for chuck schaumburg you are as majority leader. republican energized even pennsylvania since 1998 this is the first time republican voted than democrat. that tells ussous twice many republican than democrat in ohio. 125,000 more anti-depressant so, we i mean we get money we win. >> well you got open their wallets here. . isn't economy or inflation that will matter to voters. watch ms nbc. in are folks that you know would consider themselves to be conservative to be pro life. and yet at the same time they have a time stomaching what they saw unfold on january 6th. and the efforts yungdz mine the democracy have come after this. i know these are real

conversations that are playing out in households across the country and why so people many people have determining whether they are republican. >> okay. senator, arounded dinner table? are people talking about liz cheney and benny thompson. >> gas prices. food prices. open border. you know this biden how weak biden is that's what they are talking about. number one family issues why are they teaching crt. why are they defunding the police. >> one of the things i loved about your blue printsdz that you laid out. it was very specific. issue after issue. concern that a lot of us when republican take power, if like 30 days well what do we do no. democrats are ready for day one. are you guys ready on day one oversight. investigations, legislation? >> well i am going to do everything i can. we got to get ready. i put a plan.

rescue america. we got have to is plan. we got teach our kids very greatest county. we stop racial politics. we got to make sure we are going to secure border and cut tacks. that's exactly what we have to do we have to fight for though things. newt did in 94. they went in there that's what we have do you know schumer doing all day. we appreciate you joining us. >> don't we bring new series, red rag done rising. the united states is risk of losing its top superpower status it china raises in ranks. now case in point we are knowingly putting our national security at risk according to washington examiner ccp drone boosted about its spending to lobby law makers ahead of vote banning government from buying drones made in china? so in quarter two we spent $380,000 second largest total since started doing this just six years ago. so why do we need this ban?

well defense department warned exactly year ago tomorrow that system produced by this company pose potential threats to national security. but despite all of this federal bureau of investigations made a stunning admission last week. >> does federal bureau of investigations currently purchase and use chinese made drone. >> we do. you do? >> and dhs purchase and use chinese made campaign drones. >> we are prohibited from buying foreign made drones. so you are? >> i can toll up with more specific details. but the answer is question? >> joining me former trump deputy assistants secretary of defense. author of the strategy of denial. i think americans are watching this and they can't even believe their ears why do we continue to engage what was obvious self sabotage here? >> i mean you are exactly right.

china come and coming of china number one threat to america's interests. we did something as small as banning drones. there lot of rhetoric out of administration. when comes to something as simple sell of evident as banning about drones that are iebsed by own government security service. we didn't do it. >> and now this week chinese foreign ministry spokesperson warned of strong and resolute measures if nancy pelosi visits taiwan saying that chinese side has stated it stern position on this. we firmly oppose any form of official interaction between the united states and the taiwan region. apparently, biden telling pelosi don't go. now the ccp can order us around? where we can travel? this is how weak we are in biden

administration? >> yes we negotiated ourselves into terrible corner here. i mean reality look i am very worried. i mean admin station saying china priority that's not you will e. i am not favor defense spending but if we are not going to make real changes department and make more efficient make it a true war fighting force to avoid war i mean you pointed to ads when we go back and watch top gun it is why do we have military? we have fitted mean wars what are we doing? the president redoubling middle east. they increase europe and chinese my concern laura we are -- there kind of false sense here there has been plenty symbolism. president defense on three times over the course of this program. the question whether we can do it? i think we are in moment of real danger we have got to it be even approaching serious as chinese

are and that's not where we are. drone shows you small but very telling example. >> well we are sending you know hundreds and hundreds of millions of dollars more to ukraine it seems like russia still rolling through ukraine. they enlarged area they want to annex. how is that looking to chinese? we blowing a lot of money in ukraine debreathing ourselves and now we have recruiting shortage in our own military. >> absolutely. i last i warn back february with there real is risk that ukrahn distraction china taiwan frankly here we are. and you know administration walk chew gum at the same sometime. dealing with biggest first true superpower in history walking or is that chewing gun. wrestling a dragon in would level of seriousness of what reinterest dealing with and that's no what we are seeing we have no time.

we have no time we need leadership that will address this and seriously. precisely to avoid the war what i think americans really sense is that china is by far top threat. the way you avoid war was to be strong and clear and project that strengths. that's what we are doing opposite right now. >> all right. thank you so much. and who worse than big man? well with joe side lineded cam acamp harris has become face of white house. wait until you here some of her whoppers. charlie kirk join me next. he has a new book out. and he is on set.

liberty in america. on these issues and i say take

back the flag. freedom and liberty? that's what we fight for. >> they think you are saw pitted don't they? explanation at this point democrat kamala fighting for liberty and party that's pushed lockdowns and that mask mandates. they are protecting your freedom? i am so happy that my friends charlie kirk is on set with me here in tampa. your new book just out. college scam. ties in to what we are talking about here. so they think very a monopoly on freedom morality and virtue because they have monthlyized everything from schools to hollywood. you say? i think high skwlaked with word. freedom and liberty are popular with people they actually are exact opposite of freedom and liberty they do same thing "washington post." they haven't shined light on anything meaningful in last couple of years nothing but protecting insiders of the

democrat party. for kamala harris saying this gives me hope this shows you know path forward political power to try to convince people of freedom liberty there is desire for liberty. it is just matter of defining what that is. when they say freedom do they mean freedom abort your own offpopping everying spring or do a lot of drugs or do a lot of por. >> yes kind ever struggle we have conservative view liberty as virtue. do honorable things. get married to be able to build businesses and not be locked down by some virus. i think liberty -- do marijuana all day long or be able to have abortion to later terms. it does inspire some more what beautiful life. and this something that we have conservative i think lean into because this actually about our younger. turning our demanding. they don't want to look back. i mean, they don want to talk about 2020 does.

and you know understands that. but the kids i talked to here, they are all about what's going to happen? what's going to happen to our country? they want to look forward. >> you are have to understands because lockdowns because of lots of bad dietions made by lewders moment depressed drug addicted generation in history. they want purpose they want something real. they are tired of told that man and woman not construct. they can see home affordability getting outs of their grasp they want political agenda that in reality in the distractions >> college scam and i know your web site kind of scam.com. is college today for most people a scam? >> not a doubt. well not only incox tri at anying your chin. and financially if it actually makes american less free. there multi trillion dollar

industry i believe cartel that does professionally. and that takes innocent children and fills them with bad ideas what i do in this book the college cam. i indict college industry i put it on trial and say you are going to have to answer for this. you are going to answer 38% kids have go to college drop out. you know sat coaches cost? i was looking at for one of my kids. 10 to $15,000. that's like year. all right. >> now toking scams today at the white house. dr. ja admitted something, charlie, watch. this virus going to be with us forever. it is really, really important to to that people immunity against this virus. >> what a leader. they lied to us for about two years. on this particular topic. like it is going to be pandemic. you were leading us early. you deserve credit for that early. you were early. i remember that. they need an emergency.

tiants needs crisis. they need it otherwise what mandate quick and urgent action. you can't have things be okay. so they need crisis to be able to change american. so climate crisis. next pandemic crisis. monkey pox crisis. >> they want us in frenzy. people frenzy easier to control. you see that when fires fire alarm. they could point them any direction. people are air core when they centered they make nor true decisions and they want american nonstop frenzy which i believe plays into roles of everything they are trying to do in our society. young kids are optimistic. given what's happened to them over the last few years. charlie kirk. congratulations on book. i will see you tomorrow. when comes continued prosecution facts no longer determine punishment more apparent than inside of dc court system that convicted steve bannon earlier

former white house chief strategist found guilty today of contempt congress. for ignoring subpoena from january 6th committee.

>> i only have one disapopement that gutless members of that show trial committee. did not have the guts to come down here and testify in open court. >> banning faces 30 days to year in prison for each of two charges now, if this not blatant example two tiered political justice system. bannon convicted of contempt from bogus committee. while democrat its who commit actual crimes get off. now take for example former hillary clinton lawyer. he told the federal bureau of investigations that he had information on connections between trump and the russians. he also tolded federal bureau of investigations he was not working for any one at the time. but he was. somehow he still got off? if you are liberal. like hillary clinton's legal team. lie to federal bureau of investigations or falsify documents you are getting tried in d.c.? you are going to get let off. joining me is civil right

attorney and center for american liberities. whaentsz eric holder also held in contempt of congress? >> well, yes. thank you so ten years ago in the fast furious debacle. he was held in both criminal and civil contempt of congress but because though prosecution referred to united states attorney's office and that was democrat at that time, no prosecution was brought. so here we have the opposite situation. and democrats have not hesitated for a second to use their power. while we see republican often choosing this he. combination factors here is that very liberal jury pool. all of the court rulings were against bannon in terms of type of defense that he could put on. and of course there was a bias prosecution coming out of a bias and my opinion i will legimate committee. i think all along strategy of banning team has been to look forward the appeal. regarding the constitution of the committee and so forth but

as you said laura, it is virtue impossible for any conservative to get a fair trial in d c. or even for case to come to trial. you know if you are democrat so if for example look at the steven colbert staffers just a few weeks ago who were doing the exact same type of offense parading, and interfering. being on premises without permission. the united states attorney who convicted mr. bannon today dropped those charges. we have american citizen sitting in jail right now for over a year for doing exact same thing. we absolutely have two-tiered it system justice here and really undermines citizen confidence when you have that type of a system, you are like yeah. >> now, theian 6th committee chairs issued a statement on the verdict saying that conviction of had bannon is victory for to the rule of law and important

aaffirmation of committee work. they are gloating tells me that purely political. >> laura i have been practicing law for almost 30 years i consider myself of pretty hard and cynical. but i have to say that what these people on capitol hill are calling hearings, and due process, is really, really a cheapening name of justice in the united states. and i hope that there is a reckoning one day for the people who have abuse the process so badly. >> well, what do you think hearing coming back like freddie screwer from grave in september. before of the midterms. >> if there anything that -- if were doubt about political nature of this that made it very clear. they can't have their say and move on from problems in country hijack gas low lien price. open border. lack of safety throughout the united states. even the return of covid. monkey pox you name it there are

so many problems that night to be looked at our congress and they are focusing all of their energy on this they can't quit trump they can't quit talking about him and really tearing down their last gasp of power what confidence americans have in congress is he they know that i think their time and their days are limited and they are just hoping to get all of their politicking in so they can make some commercials for midterms but more probably aimed towards 2024. . their goose is cooked already forked mit terms. all right. great to see you tonight. as always. and does biden have benchman button thing going on? what do that mean? we will explain it. stay right

there. aby cove battle. he slept well last night. he ate his program fast and lunch. can you believe come it showed

me his plate. didn't ask about menu but i did see an empty plate with crumbs. we can also report tonight that after finishing his footed little joey used big boy potty. all of proceeds go to --- i gave one to ots governor and senator. enjoy. gutfeld is up next. hey! look at this. happy freaking friday. i hope you had a great week. i did. i got wart removed. not intentionally. i got drunk last night and passed out in kitchen with my hand in the
