♪♪ >> sean: all right, unfortunately that's all the time we have left this evening. as always, thank you for being with us. you make the show possible. thank you for that. please set your dvr so you never miss an episode of hannity. in the meantime let not your heart be troubled. laura ingraham, the ingraham angle is next to take it home and she's got a killer show. >> laura: aren't you really sad, at this point in your career, that you don't live in washington? given what a wonderful, what a wonderful, totally above-board process we have in our government, right? >> sean: oh, yeah. >> laura: there's no self dealing here in washington, dc, never happens. it's just ridiculous. >> sean: we both live in a sewer and a swamp. i'm stuck in new york, and you're stuck in the swamp there t it sucks. >> laura: something has to change hannity but awesome show. >> sean: right into the contract. move fox down to florida. >> laura: tennessee, anywhere.

hannity awesome show as always. i enjoyed it greatly and it's great to see you tonight and i'll pick it up where you left off. i am laura ingraham, this is ingraham angle from the swampy, sleazy, third-world, banana-republic known as washington, dc. all right. the first rule of the dc establishment, always trust that the deep state will operate in good faith. that's the view that put the patriot acted on passage in 2001 and kept the by as mueller investigation going for the majority of trump's time in office. they tell us to trust the process, how dare anyone question our dedicated civil servants. we're supposed to just i guess look past the years of sleaze and corruption of hunter biden and hillary clinton and the doj's kid glove treatment of it all. past the democrats tolerance of months of riots that ripped this country to shreds in 2020 and of course their own vel fix of

their own local law enforcement, anytime a thug is shot though resists arrest, always going to be the police's fault. well, i'm sorry to break it to you but tens of millions of americans don't trust the biden fbi or the doj. and it's more than just the double standard or the usual washington hypocrisy at play. we're used to this. it's distrust that's based in facts in recent history. and today they gave us no other reason -- another reason not to trust them. the doj officially opposed the release of that affidavit you've been hearing that supposedly, they say, establishes probable cause to carry out the search of mar-a-lago. they claim that they're willing to unseal other documents, whatever that means. now, this petition was signed by south florida u.s. attorney juan antonio gonzalez and doj counter intel chief jay brat. they mentioned a specific concern about outing cooperating witnesses.

well, i'm sorry. this is absurd. with everything that's on the line here including the possible 2024 election, this is simply not acceptable. you know what it reminds me of? i was thinking about this today. it reminds me of the anonymous whistle blower who the democrats relied on for their first impeachment circus against trump. tonight i'm telling you that merrick garland owes more than this to the nation. a redacted affidavit is better than no affidavit at all. >> is there a risk that the justice department, by trying to block the release of this affidavit, looks like they're trying to be too secretive? >> absolutely there's that risk. prosecutors also have to live in reality and it's impossible to separate politics and law here and i think the reality is it will look like there's a lack of transparency. >> laura: you bet it does. moment of candor there over at cnn. there's so many questions outstanding tonight, including whether president trump himself will ask that the court release the affidavit. to answer that, we're going to go right to his legal team, see

where they stand. joining me now is christina bobb, attorney for president trump, who was on site for that raid. christina, thank you for joining us tonight. does president trump support or oppose the release of the affidavit? >> well, president trump has been very straightforward in that he supports all transparency through this process, and he wants what's best for the american people and he's going to rely on the courts to do the right thing. >> laura: so he will not then submit or you will not submit a motion to the court to release the affidavit in opposition to what the government said today. >> we support what judicial watch has started. we're watching it very closely trying to gauge what's happening and will respond accordingly. i don't have an exact answer today. we're watching the situation and seeing how it developments and we'll respond in a way that we think is best for the american people. >> laura: so no determination on that as of now. because that is the most crucial piece of information, because

that document -- >> yeah. >> laura: -- apparently establishes, they say, probable cause. it includes sensitive information. the government's arguing. they don't want to compromise, i guess, cooperating witnesses. and so far it's their case against president trump such that it is. >> right. you're exactly right and supposedly it does have probable cause in it. i find that a little bit hard to believe. obviously a judge signed it. but knowing the background and the situation, i don't think there is probable cause to do what they did. so i am myself curious to see what's in it, and we're looking forward to seeing how this all plays out. >> laura: but you're not -- i mean, i don't know, given the president's comments earlier, we would think that he would want it all out, out there so everyone can see it in the light of day. i'm still not following what would the concern be on your part for not having it released? >> no, we are supporting it. we're not -- i'm not aware of

any effort to oppose it. we just are following the lead of the case that's already going and watching to see what happens in response to it. >> laura: okay, fair enough. >> he absolutely -- yeah. >> laura: so he's not opposing its release, but he's not going to urge that it be released, is that a correct characterization? >> i would say that's a fair assessment at this point, yes. >> laura: okay. on the issue of the passport which, to me, is just another ridiculous wrinkle here. earlier today the president said that the fbi stole his three passports, one expired, an assault on a political opponent never before seen in our country and apparently told our prosecutors just before the show that the passports have now been picked up, so you got them back, two expired, one's the diplomatic passport that every president gets to keep in his possession. what's your view on this? this was just an honest mistake? were they in a drawer? >> i don't know about any honest -- i won't give them that

much credit at this point. i think this goes to show the level of audacity that they have. if you're going to execute a raid on the primary residence of the president of the united states, you need to do it perfectly. there's no room for error. and when our fourth amendment rights are at steak as a nation you cannot be flip ant in any way. so i don't give them a pass as a simple mistake. i think it goes to show how aggressive they were, how overreaching they were, that they were willing to go past the four corners of the warrant and take whatever they felt was appropriate or they felt that they could take. and then go back through and look through everything once they realized, oh, whoops, maybe we went a little too far then negotiate the return of it. that's absolutely not the way a warrant is supposed to be executed. so, no, i think they were wrong and basically got caught. >> laura: where were the passports? were they in a safe? were they in a drawer, a box? i mean, where were they? >> i don't actually know. they were probably in the office, i would assume, because that makes the most sense.

but, again, they didn't disclose where they picked things up so i can't say for certain. >> laura: now, in his first interview since the raid, the president told fox news digital that people are so angry at what has taken place, whatever we can do to help, the temperature has to be brought down in the country. if it isn't, terrible things are going to happen. what did the president mean by terrible things are going to happen? >> i think he just is looking at what's happening in the country and realizing the angst people are going through. i think he's saddened by the frustration that americans are facing and realizing that their government has been hijacked by radicals, radicals that don't care about the american people and don't care about our quality of life and our culture. as a culture, this is a new step that we've never experienced before and a level, to some extent, of fear in the nation that the government's becoming overreaching. and i think he's concerned about the devo solution of our

culture. i didn't ask the question but that would be my speculation that he doesn't like the direction it's going. >> laura: the president's intimating people could commit violence, another january 6th. but you're saying that's not what you believe. >> not at all. president trump -- correct. not at all. president trump loves this country and he's never supported violence. although the left has. so i think it's a bit hypocritical and ironic that they would try to throw that narrative out when he has been peaceful and brought peace to the world and peace to this nation. and is trying to bring peace to this nation. he reached out to merrick garland and said, you know, anything i can do, after you ra raided my personal residence, sorry, this is through his attorneys but he wanted a specific message to merrick garland, not them directly saying i want merrick garland to know that i support bringing this nation together and lowering the temperature, as you've said. what can i do? you know, my resources are at

your goesal i'm willing to do anything and the doj ignored it. they didn't respond. that was on thursday morning and then a few hours later merrick garland gave a three-minute press brief where he didn't even bother to disclose to the american public that president trump was trying to be helpful in this situation. so -- >> laura:. >> laura: what specifically was president trump suggesting? i mean everyone wants to bring the temperature down, i think that's a noticeable desire, of course, but what specifically does he propose that he can do at this point? >> sure. well, i think he was looking at it saying, the american people don't trust the fbi or doj, they lied about russia russia russia, they lloyd about cross fire hurricane, they lined to congress, mccabe lied to everybody, they lied to the fisa court. the american people rightfully don't trust the fbi right now and don't trust the department of justice but they do trust president trump. and he has a big platform. he has a big following. so i think it was a genuine olive branch to say i'm trying to help this country. they don't trust you but they trust me, what can we do?

and they ignored it. >> laura: short of dropping the case, i'm not sure what merrick garland would do at this point. i mean, right? let's move on. i mean, i don't know what about the justice department's going to do. they're not in favor of releasing the affidavit. >> right. i think it would go a long way to show they care that they are putting this nation through angst. the american people are frustrated and angry, they love donald trump and no one believes that this is a real case. they believe it's a witch hunt. so any attempt to come together is think is fair. >> laura: christina we really appreciate your joining us tonight. thank you very much >> joining me now is ohio congressman jim jordan a ranking member of the and harmeet dhillon chairman of the national lawyers association. john, you just heard that conversation. the doj lawyers argued against the affidavit released today by saying, as the court is aware from its review of the

affidavit, it contains among other critically important and detailed investigative facts highly sensitive info about witnesses including witnesses interviewed by the government and investigative techniques and information required by law to be kept under seal. give us your overall sense of whether that would be an accurate characterization of the issues at steak here. >> well, even if -- even if that's true, and that may be, that there are sources in there that they don't want die have you knowledged or national security information they don't want there but it's garbage to say that that information couldn't be redacted so that the remainder of the affidavit that is so important to establishing probable cause is something that we can see. laura, this is, unfortunately, just like the russiagate play book used by the fbi and department of justice where they're using their authorities both as a sword and a shield.

and, you know, we had a warrant in this case that was so overbroad and they used it as a sword. it literally allowed the fbi, when you talk about how they were able to get passports and everything, literally allowed the fbi lawfully, because it was signed off, to gather every government document and presidential record from president trump's first day as president through his last day as president. that was a four-year, some would call it a fishing expedition, i would call it a hunting license. now they've turned around and said after -- i heard president trump very clearly say that he was in favor of releasing the underlying affidavit and calling merrick garland's bluff. they're saying, oh, no, now we've got torques you know, preserve the sanctity and grand jury and this is far too sensitive. far too sensitive all at the same time they're leaking information to the washington post that it's about nuclear weapon technology. so unfortunately, you know, we're seeing the same thing. >> laura: yeah, it's a pattern.

>> what happened in russia. yeah, it's a pattern. >> laura: congressman, you petitioned for a congressional closed session review for republicans on the judiciary committee of that affidavit? >> well, we want them to preserve all documents. we sent a letter today signed by every republican member of the committee we want them to preserve all information so we can see this and know exactly what took place here. i think you're right. the right term is the pattern. here's the interesting pattern laura. you mentioned the mueller investigation. go back to july of 2019, bob mueller testifies in front of our committee, full, flat, everyone realizes this russia thing was a complete hoax. what happens the very next day? that's when they launched their impeachment probe of president trump because that's when he had the phone call with president zelenskyy. same thing now, the january 6th is falling flat, tomorrow the voters in wyoming will send a message, a referendum on that committee. what do they do? they see that happening they go

raid the president's home. this is the pattern. these guys are never going to turn down the heat. they should, it's bad for the country but they're never going to because they've been doing it for six years, before he was in office, while he was in office, now that he's out of office. that is the pattern and what the american people are so fed up with. >> laura: and yet it's always trust the process. you know, you're against the dedicated civil servants and the journal's reporting tonight that merrick garland waived the search of trump's mar-a-lago for weeks. first of all, that's a leak, harmeet? right that's another leak, apparently i took it really seriously but apparently the nuclear codes might be involved. >> this is even more disturbing laura. i was willing to accept that perhaps there was a mole in the white house -- not in the white house but in mar-a-lago who gave information about something urgent and that was the excuse that mar-a-lago used to overrule his better impulses about what to do with a former president's

residence. but the fact that he had been debating it for weeks again undercuts the urgency, undercuts the need to have done this at all and really calls into question not only his judgment but all the people advising him to do this. and so what they're trying to hide laura, it's typical that the government does not want to release its underlying affidavits because indeed it shows what they're going after but in this case it is a matter of public interest and as your prior guest mentioned not only judicial watch but a dozen new organizations and non-profits asking for this. public interest demands that this extraordinary situation, the raid be documented and why it was done. and so by hiding it, the doj is really concealing what they are really doing here and it's not law enforcement, laura, it's something else. >> laura: adam schiff, apparently, mr. ratcliffe was asked about the timing of the raid watch. >> why the did they wait 18 months after the trump

presidency? what change made this immediate? >> i don't know. but if the trump people represented that they provided all the classified or national security information and didn't, that's a serious problem. >> laura: but, john, it wasn't 500 days since trump left office and i guess only a hundred days until the midterms so what do you make of schiff's claim there? >> well, it's like everything adam schiff says, it's false and disingenuous. if this was sensitive national security information, the department of justice and fbi had every right to go get it back if it wasn't yet declassified but no one believes this was the lease intrusive method of doing it. this was very clearly political. i think everyone can see that. and, you know, adam schiff is the person, when we talk about the russia hoax who, you know, had evidence of russian

collusion we never saw. the person who said the fbi couldn't possibly lie to the fisa court it's not even possible and created a memo saying that. the person who lied about meeting the ukraine impeachment whistle blower when in fact he had. he's the one who said that hunter biden's laptop was russian disinformation. it's one lie after another. and it's frankly one of the reasons that, you know, hopefully come january he won't not only be the chair man of the house intelligence committee, he won't be on the house intelligence committee. >> laura: well, congressman jordan, ken delaney today i guess on msnbc made a comment about the types of documents that were part of this affidavit and that were sealed. that was yesterday, excuse me. but they're really taking this up a notch to the, you know, top spy level. watch. >> if fbi seized five sets of documents marked top secret. but among that was one set marked top secret sensitive compartment information, that

means information that's so secret only a small group of people inside the us government can see it, talking about things like names of cia sources in moscow or images from the most advanced spy satellite. >> laura: congressman, i don't think he knows -- but you hear, images like spy satellites, images like moscow sources. he doesn't know, i don't think, that that was in the documents. but this is all meant to try to paint this picture of, you know, some james bond kind of situation here. >> yeah, and even if it was, why did you wait 18 months? i mean, come on, nothing makes sense here. we know this was unprecedented, unwarranted. it was just plain wrong. and i think when you couple it with -- think about last week. in a 5-daytime period, we had the president's personal residents raided, the phone of a sitting member of congress taken and we had 87,000 irs agents unleashed on the american people. then you think oh, this was so sensitive we waited 18 months to get it. no one believes these folks but

they see their government being turned against us, we the people, we the citizens. and that's the frightening part. so when president trump says turn down the heat, for goodness sakes they should because turning down the heat means following the constitution. that's the concern here. >> laura: panel thank you. great to see all of you tonight >> up next, the angle a little later in the show but up next the biden spin machine is totally like breaking down before our eyes. now failure is success, that's all you need to know coming up next. t takes to make dentistry work for your life. so we offer a complete exam and x-rays free to new patients without insurance - everyday. plus, patients get 20% off their treatment plan. we're on your corner and in your corner every step of the way. because your anything is our everything. aspen dental. anything to make you smile. book today at aspendental.com, walk in, or call 1-800-aspendental.

♪ >> laura: the joe mentum illusion, the notice cuss of tonight's ingraham angle. politico is what prove today was to soviet russia. today in this morning's play book they played biden propaganda. after months of bad news biden's presidency has reached an undeniable pivot point with the passage of the inflation reduction act it also reflected a sense of vindication amongst white house aids that focus on delivering concrete results of americans ignoring conventional wisdom and staying out of needless fights would ultimately pay off politically.

now with that writing who needs a white house press secretary, that's what i'm saying. of course they were simply following the lead of the tv propagandists desperate to have something, anything to point to prop up this haggard heaving hologram presidency. people who bill themselves as straight-up reporters end up just repeating whatever's in the white house briefing book. no questions asked. >> the white house looking to turn president biden's winning streak into midterm momentum. >> a halt in inflation, gas prices below $4 per gallon a big legislative win. >> they have a pretty good laundry list in terms of bread and butter issues in terms of a package they can sell to voters. >> laura: what qualifies as pretty good to them, well, isn't inflation supposed to actually help the legislation, supposed to help the average person? isn't that the test here? not whether biden gets climate and tax legislation just passed on a purely partisan vote. that's not really the measure,

is it? and what if biden's signature legislation is based, in large part, on lies? like the lie that the 87,000 irs agents won't target people who make less than $400,000 a year. well, the irs will collect billions of dollars from auditing low and middle income americans under the white house inflation reduction act, the cbo informed congressional republicans that under the acts audits of taxpayers making under 400,000 will account for about 20 billion in additional revenue contradicting the biden administration claim. claim? you mean these claims? >> audit rates will not rise relative to recent years for households making under $400,000. >> resources will not add to audits for household under 400,000. >> since they've decided that they won't change their policies, you see what they're doing, right? they keep digging in.

and since the regime press is what it is, there's no competition for scoops about the administration. gone are the investigative journalists all together. they only compete in categories like most absequious. >> he has been, under every step of the way in his career and here we go again. >> we have a massive economy. democrats can talk about plummeting gas prices, massive job numbers, thank you for the billboard here. >> it's quite a list. >> it's a massive list. >> laura: zero analysis. essentially just, they're just in awe of a graphic. now, what they failed to note is that most americans, 62%, are now worried about being able to afford housing in the next year. and gas prices fell a little bit? well, break out the champagne. still almost double what it was when trump left office. these people need to, i think, at some point just get out more, especially if they're actually

mesmerized by the chap who last week sounded and looked like this. >> that's the most consequential thing that congress can do to keep our progress from -- on inflation from, uh, from, from getting better, from getting worse. >> representatives decano and boast or boss and i am proud to name dr. monica rete -- get it right, doc. battelle -- bet noticey. >> at least he wasn't sniffing her hair. fact of the matter is in only two years biden has driven our country into a ditch. it almost feels like two years. unless you like spending more and getting less, unless you like wage increases, they're not even keeping up with inflation and unless you like soaring crime or the fact that biden turned america into a dumping

ground for the drug cartels, today bill melugin's report was so disturbing. >> in the last 24 hours alone we have had more than 2,000 illegal crossings in the del rio sector here, that's one single sector in one day, predominately single adults. we are no longer seeing a bunch of little kids or the family units like we saw last summer. there have now been 401,000 illegal crossings just here in the del rio sector since october 1st. >> laura: the shameless invasion of our country. and, oh, by the way, the mesmerizing biden, let's talk about the snap shot of our gdp under biden versus the rest of the g 7, what it tells us about the tale of biden versus trump on the economy. check this out back in 2019, this is where we were. we were number one at a gdp at 2.3%, 2020 we're obviously down minus 3.4% because of covid

still we were number one by a long shot. this was only because donald trump bucked the democrats and press and decided to open back up when other countries stayed in lockdown. but now under biden's policies, look at where we are. we've fallen from number one under trump to number four under biden. france and italy beat us in 2021. that is pathetic. and what everyone tonight needs to understand is this. that result, that gdp result, is what the democrats want. when america's number one, the left is miserable. when we had energy independence and cheap gas, they were furious. when there was no inflation with rising wages, they were depressed. when people stand for and sing the national anthem, they're offended. president trump's policies were unabashedly pro american and

they were successful and for that they wanted to drive him out of office. they relied on fabricated evidence, unsupported innuendo, and partisan investigations to impeach him and harass his family and they're still doing it. raids, withheld affidavits, anonymous sources, the times and the washington post. and now the same democrat operatives masquerading as journalists are doing the same thing they've always done. they try to sell democrat failures as wins. but americans aren't buying it. >> oh, i don't think there's a grade low enough to give him. it's a bottom grade. >> horrible. worst president ever. >> i'm a retired teacher. f, f, f. >> not good. probably a 3 out of 10. >> like a 5. >> i'm a democrat and i think we need a younger person, some new

change. >> laura: last guy was a democrat. we haven't even talked about biden's nightmare foreign policy, 13 service members dead in the afgan pullout a year ago, china on the cusp of invading taiwan, going south in ukraine, billions of dollars in untrackable munitions that we sent over there. at least the defense contractors are happy, though, right? biden's at 40.2 % approval according to web site 538. look at where he stands versus trump and obama. now, imagine where he would be if he had a press that was even objective half the time. in fact, you have to go back to jimmy carter to hit approval numbers lower than biden at the same point in his presidency. so only in liberal la la land would any of this qualify as joe-mentum and that's the angle. coming up the atlantic equates praying the rosary with extremism. and the democratic candidate for

governor in pennsylvania awkwardly kind of returns to the trail? raymond arroyo has it all, seen and unseen is next. ♪♪

>> laura: it's time for seen and unseen where we explore the stories thinned headlines and for that we turn to fox news contributor raymond arroyo. all right, raymond, let us start with this piece in the atlantic where the writer is attempting to villain ice those who pray the rosary i've heard it all. >> danielle penned a piece how the rosary became an extremist symbol. stay with me. the atlantic later altered the title but it reads this way. the battle beads culture of spiritual warfare permits radical traditional catholics literally to demonize their political opponents and regard the use of armed force against them as sank feud. the sack mental rosary isn't

just a spiritual rep on but one that comes with physical ammunition. are catholics out straggling people with rosary beads or are they loading them into canons and firing them on pagans? i don't think so. i couldn't find one case where either thing happened. not one. >> laura: well, raymond, just because of that article, you sent it to me or i sent it to you last night, i had the kids -- we did all five decades of the rosary last night, i think it's been quite a while since i've done that. so what i'm saying is, i'm looking at the glass half full. because they've demonized the rosary i thought that must be something i should be doing more of. >> you're right, it is a spiritual weapon to combat the devil. >> laura: yes. >> christians have been praying this for centuries a script wal meditation very structured using hail marys and our fathers. but this writer is obviously

filled with some kind of religious animus and it is afraid of faith because it brought down the iron wall in poland ended roe v wade. but the atlantic is demonizing catholics for praying the rosary while we have a high profile stabbing of renowned arthur rusty which increasing list was motivated and everyone is confused. >> we hope to have an update about his condition and the other question is a possible motive. >> chilling, intimidating. we don't know the motive. >> laura: what? >> what could the motive be laura? what could have provoked a suspect, matar, to stab him. his own mother by the way says he was a she "and is a sheite and after spending a month in lebanon became moody and more religious.

what the government announced on rushdie could have been it?. >> laura: they say rushdie brought it upon himself. [speaking foreign language]. >> laura: so justifying the fatwaraymond. is that confusing to the atlantic? >> i guess not. but they won't touch this with a 10-foot blade. and here's the problem. you have middle eastern intelligence officers saying that this suspect had contact with the iranian revolutionary guard. so there's real facts to report here and everybody's looking the other way scratching their heads. you're looking for religious driven extremism. you don't have to look very far.

meanwhile in pennsylvania, laura, democratic candidate for senate, john fetterman returned to the campaign trail three months after suffering a stroke. his return was a little less than fluid. >> 25 of those counties more votes, 25 -- 50, there's 54 red counties, more votes, more votes than dr. oz in those counties. who would ever think that i would be the normal, the normal one in the race here. i gave away, so, i gave away the lieutenant governor governor in pennsylvania, the only lieutenant governor in the history to do that. you can count on us to eliminate the filibuster, eliminate the filibuster, and let's, let's get some stuff done for america.

if you come out and step with us, we will be able to stand with you in dc. >> poor guy. i mean, look, he suffered a stroke, he's back on the trail. but after joe biden, john fetterman looks like churchill but he's obviously struggling with sin text laura and even his supporters found abc news say they found him wandering, one says he lacked energy. he should focus on his health. for the good of his party and reputation, maybe it's time to step away from the trail rather than lean into it. >> laura: the whole costume with the hoodie and the sweat pants, i mean, the whole -- it's just not serious. i'm sorry. >> you don't like the uncle fester garb? that didn't do it. >> laura: were you the one that came up with uncle festerman?

so easy. i don't like the hoodie. if you're 13 going to practice that's fine. a grown man we don't need the hoodie. aside from the fact that nothing he said will make the lives of pennsylvanians any better, the policies will do that. oz will close the gap and the people of pennsylvania can do better. raymond great to see you tonight >> and cnn, msnbc and fox all agree on one thing. liz cheyney is about to get sunk. her challenger in tomorrow's primary joins me next. stay there. helps reduce your background noise. bring that sense of calm, really... so you come through, loud and clear. meta portal. the smart video calling device that makes work from home work for you.

this is what her mission is. that's been her mission for, you know, the last two years. and that's why the press likes her. five minutes ago, it seems at least, that the cheyneys were the ultimate bad guys for the press. for years they called her father essentially a war criminal. i defended him. now they're embracing liz cheyney as the future of the republican party and republicans are supposed to like plaid late themselves for regelling her? cnn laid out the way cheney could pull out that victory. >> really the only chance she has her aides acknowledge is if enough democrats and independents switch parties which they can do here in wyoming and support her in the primary. >> laura: they're wishing it harriet, wish cast. are there enough democrat voters to come out and somehow deliver this mythical victory? >> well, there aren't. but in addition to which, the independents are breaking my way

as well. so even those folks who do change parties to vote necessity the primary, polls show they support me over liz cheyney. so there aren't enough democrats. but it is pretty ironic, isn't it, that she is seeking the support of the democrat party just like she's only working with the democrats back in washington, dc. >> laura: the problem is, harriet, i literally never hear her talking about the issues that matter to conservatives. i mean, like a passing reference to the dobbs decision, of course striking down roe v wade, a passing reference. nothing i've heard on the climate change legislation. she is obsessed with donald trump. obsessed. i've never seen anything like it. >> that's what's so sad for the state of wyoming. we only have one representative in congress and we need to make it count and she's completely awol because she's focusing on something that's not important no the citizens of wyoming. i've traveled close to 40,000

miles in wyoming since i started and there are three issues the voters are concerned with, inflation protection of our energy jobs and the open border. liz cheyney doesn't talk about any of those because she knows her new democrat friends would not like her attacking joe biden so she's on silent. she's completely rogue, does not represent then republican party in wyoming. >> laura: harriet, you can look forward to her being on cnn or msnbc attacking you after you're elected to congress. harriet great to see you good luck tomorrow. we'll check back with you soon. and just how confident are the democrats that their inflation reduction act is actually going to reduce inflation? well, not much. the last fight will reveal it. ♪♪

. >> laura: it was easy for congressman jamie raskin to brag in general about the democrats so-called inflation reduction act until he was asked for specifics. >> as soon as the act goes into effect, i know those who have been blaming president biden for

inflation going up are now giving president biden all the credit for inflation going down so we're moving things in the right direction already. >> and what parts of the bill do you think will quickly work on that specifically? >> next question. >> laura: next question. i love that. can he buy a vowel. inspiring a lot of confidence. that's it for us tonight. remember it's america now and forever and gutfeld next. ♪♪ ♪ >>. >> this crowd's insane. i'm actually fearing for my life. i need to be escorted to the hello pad immediately. happy monday everyone.
