tv The Ingraham Angle FOX News August 16, 2022 7:00pm-8:00pm PDT
7:00 pm
"hannity." for news anytime, foxnews.com, hannity.com, don't forget paul manafort's new book, "political listener." i couldn't stop reading it. i read it cover to cover, it was phenomenal. you can get it in bookstores everywhere, amazon.com and hannity.com. i think you learn a lot. in the meantime, let not your heart be troubled. laura is next, she's got a killer show tonight. >> laura: you bet, and they want a lot of political prisoners, don't they? they don't want just a few, they want the whole prison full of political prisoners. >> sean: in case you don't know, you're on the list, you are way ahead of me. >> laura: you know what i say to the people who don't like me? get in line. get in line. doesn't bother me one bit. we've been in his business to long. >> sean: we get as much hate and threats as anybody else, we just don't talk about it. do you want to give you the list? >> laura: those are just from me, hannity. >> sean: [laughs]
7:01 pm
>> laura: thanks, hannity. i've got to go. with got some big news, apparently. i'm laura ingraham, this is "the ingraham angle" from washington tonight. my angle in just a few moments, but we begin with a fox news alert. two big primaries tonight, wyoming, where polls have just closed and never-trumper hero liz cheney may be headed for defeat in the house g.o.p. primary grade in alaska, voters are still deciding the fate of senator lisa murkowski. fox's chief political anchor bret baier is at the big board with all the details. >> hey, laura, good evening. it looks like a very bad night for liz cheney in wyoming. let's start there. this house race again, primary where trump-backed candidate harriet hagemann has a big lead now, and remember, this is early vote coming in around the state. there's only 1 congressional district here. but the vote that we are seeing traditionally the trump-backed candidates have done better with the day of election day vote.
7:02 pm
she is winning with the early vote in all of these counties as we break down the counties and we get them in. this looks like an overwhelming win, as big perhaps as those early polls had it, one pole headed 30 points, another pole headed 20 points coming into today. as these numbers are coming in, shaping up, we could be seeing an official call very soon for hagerman in this race. it's interesting to see, if you look at the races we are following tonight, you have wyoming, obviously, and you have alaska. this is -- you know, you look back at the races we've been following of the ten house republicans who voted to impeach donald trump, president donald trump, you have the retirees. you have the congressmen and women that lost their primaries, and a couple that won, but liz cheney looks like she is heading to a loss and perhaps a big loss
7:03 pm
tonight. she was hoping that there would be this crossover vote with democrats. there was an appeal in recent days to get that democratic vote crossover. there has been a registration shift since january to august, and you can see democrats down 9,000, republicans up 19,000, suggesting some shift over to vote in this primary. however, there's nowhere near the numbers needed to make this all come together. we also mentioned the other race we are following in alaska. this is lisa murkowski, the senator, trying to hold on and a primary. however, it's different here, its ranked choice in alaska, so people will vote for the top four candidates, and even the trump-backed candidate is -- while she could do well, she is likely going to be one of several that move on, including senator murkowski. the other race is obviously former governor -- murkowski
7:04 pm
obviously one of the senators who voted to convict donald trump in the senate. the other race is also ranked choice. this is to fill the special election for the seat of don young, who served in congress for 49 years. former governor sarah palin, nick baggage, you know that name, his brother mark was asked democratic senator. if this is also ranked choice, but there's two elections, one is special election to fill the seat until january, the other is for the primary, which goes to the general election in november. so we will follow this, probably not going to get those results till about 1:00 a.m., but again, the big news is that liz cheney looks on the way to defeat, we could have an official announcement in just a few minutes. >> laura: you know what i also forgot until just this moment, that murkowski voted against kavanaugh. that was another big deal for a lot of the conservatives, so that was also i think a marker in this race. do you agree? >> yeah, i agree. and you know, she has managed in
7:05 pm
this system to go to the general election and have the backing. she has obvious me name recognition in alaska and they vote differently there, but for standard conservatives and especially for trump world, she is on the target list as far as trying to get her out of office. i don't think this primary is going to do it, and the general election she seems well-positioned. >> laura: we will be following. it will probably check back with you, and given the news out of wyoming we just heard from bret baier to, it's fitting that you, dearly beloved, are gathered here tonight as we mark the passing of the anti-trump g.o.p. establishmentshment. defiant until the end, the pro-war, pro-china contingent, it's finally being laid to rest. and of course one never-trumper republicans lose, the media, they go into full morning. >> we have to look at republican voters as a voting bloc in this country. today is the day, as crazy as it may sound, that we could look
7:06 pm
back in american history come august 8th, 2022. if there is one resistance republican that did everything she could to take it to donald trump, it was liz cheney, she is on the brink of potentially losing. you're talking about a change republican party. >> laura: thank god there's a change republican party! my gosh, grassroots or public and voters, they've been working to bury this failed bush cheney dynasty for years. but its defenders, they wouldn't relent. they wanted revenge against the man who called them out and whom the voters supported. ♪ ♪ we all know about the stages of grief. some still accept two -- they just refused to accept her impending loss. >> i think it shows the party is in a bad place. look, we are standing against evil. liz cheney is standing up against evil. she has fought a valiant fight. her fight is not over regardless of what happens, and i think it
7:07 pm
says a lot about the party. >> laura: yes, it does say a lot about the party, adam, that the voters have actual common sense. they know that their survival, america's survival is at stake now. liz cheney is not part of the solution, she's part of the problem. she's taken her eye off the ball and she is lionized by the press for her anti-trump crusade, joe biden is robbing us blind. and speaking of fights where cheney was m.i.a., bidens big signing ceremony for his tax-and-spend climate bill today brought him back to d.c. between vacations. so for selling out his state of west virginia, senator joe manchin, he got the big door prize. [applause] ♪ ♪ >> laura: that pen cost about $10. the legislation will cost
7:08 pm
739 billion. it's going to further erode our energy independence by choking off our oil and gas industry, also going to make everything more expensive by raising corporate taxes. in the media, they are ducking coverage of one major part of this legislation. see if you can figure it out. here's the associated press. what's in bidens big bill? america's biggest action ever on climate change, drug cost cap. what about cvs? ceiling major democratic victory on climate, health care, and taxes. i wonder why no prominent mention of the army of 87,000 new irs agents that are hired. you need to look into the fine print to see that the law aims to raise a whopping 124 billion through tax enforcement measures. meaning the irs is coming to harass not just the rich, but hardworking americans who actually support themselves but who can't defend themselves with
7:09 pm
expensive lawyers and accountants. it's disgusting. where was liz on this outreach? even jake tapper had to call up the fraud on the law's major selling point. >> democrats keep telling needs the inflation reduction act. whenever experts say it's not going to reduce inflation. why is it being called that? >> first of all, this is a huge compliment. with never taken on climate change at this scale. and investing 60 billion into environmental justice, i wasn't part of the naming squad, but i will say that the bill is going to reduce costs for american consumers. and i think that is an important idea. >> that's not what inflation is necessarily, but i take your point. >> laura: well, if you lie in the title, you lie in the substance. remember, none of this would have happened if it weren't for the same g.o.p. establishment that supported cheney all these years. when senators mcconnell, blunt, cassidy, and others idiotically agree to support
7:10 pm
bidens only infrastructure bill earlier this year, they opened the lane for reconciliation to be used for today's tax nightmare. so the old guard thought that -- you know, the claim to be so much smarter than the populace, the america first-e.r.es, but they were totally had by the democrats. like getting ready to send liz cheney packing and choosing real conservatives and other key midterm primaries, voters are saying they've had enough. and that it's time to bury the tragic bush cheney era once and for all. your eternal rest grant unto them, oh, lord. turning me now, joe kent, who just defeated congresswoman in washington, just like liz cheney, she was one of the ten house or republicans who voted to impeach donald trump. also joining the, charlie hurt, fox news contributor and opinion editor for "the washington times." joe, as i mentioned in my eulogy, this is a referendum on the g.o.p. establishment.
7:11 pm
the g.o.p., they -- you know, the g.o.p. has lost its way. i think it's found it in america first and we are about we going to hear from liz cheney in a matter of moments from her campaign headquarters. your reaction tonight? >> it's great, congratulations to the people wyoming for getting ready to rate of one of the biggest neocon establishment rhinos that we have. it's a great thing that they got rid of her in a very big way. like you said, this is a referendum on the failed establishment. that referendum began in 2016 with the election of donald trump, and establishment republicans did everything they can because of their corporate greed to try and suppress america first, to try and suppress donald trump, to include working against him during administration and then these voting for the impeachment of president trump and i thought the base would just go along with it because we are not informed, but the base has been incredibly awake, especially since 2020, that's what we are seeing, one after another we are getting rid of these impeachment voter traders and we are going to bring the america first
7:12 pm
movement to the forefront of the republican party. so i would like to encourage the remainder of the establishing to get on board with america first because it is the future of the republican party. >> laura: charlie, is it something to see the once great bush cheney legacy and dynasty to just completely embarrassed himself? there's just no learning from what the electorate wants. they just keep insulting the electorate. >> no, and, you know, after barack obama, the biggest cause for the rise of trump was bush cheney, and their inability to realize the regular electorate wanted, and specifically the regular conservative elector that republicans were not down with open borders. they were not down with playing footsie with china. they were not down with these endless wars, and they refused to listen to those voters.
7:13 pm
but interestingly, those voters were incredibly loyal to bush and incredibly loyal to cheney. and of course liz cheney, it is just so remarkable, the only reason she had the start of the first place was she wrote her daddy's coattails interfamily name into this position, and then for her to turn on voters who are trying to explain to her, no, this is all wrong. the trump agenda, the america-first agenda, and for her to react in this way, it really is astonishing. and as remarkable as this is, if she does go down the flames the way she looked like she will in wyoming tonight. the larger proof that the america-first agenda is the future and at the trump agenda is winning, these candidates like joe kent, and all of these candidates across the country
7:14 pm
who are winning them and maybe candidates weren't endorsed by trump, but who are running on the america first, trump agenda. us the victory for conservatives and republicans buried >> laura: hey, joe, tonight on msnbc, adam kinzinger, who is also on his way out, well, he had to continue to moan. watch. >> this isn't your dad's republican party anymore, this isn't a party that's committed to truth. what i worry about is the next generation of people who have been elected, they do believe these conspiracy theories. that's very frightening. >> laura: in other words, you're very frightening. >> the establishment should be scared because we just had a massive referendum. this cannot be the party of adam kinzinger and liz cheney would just go on there to go along, get along, really just service opposition to the democratic party. it's going to be on those of us who took of these impeachment
7:15 pm
voters, going to be on the leaders we arty have in the america first movement to really go to war with the biden agenda because look, the bottom line is, the other side, the democrats, they are in lockstep, they are unified. they don't have any divisions, they have control of so many different aspects of power and they are willing to use it against us. if we don't get in line and start fighting back with the template that president trump gave for us, that we are going to fall by the wayside and we are going to be picked off one by one by the national security state weaponized by the democratic party, so it's time to weaponize and get serious. >> laura: we are going to put up the screen of a little smattering of well-wishers for cheney in jackson, wyoming. that's teton county, the most liberal county of course, only liberal county in wyoming, and just a smattering of people. not too many. this is a course where hageman's fairly sizable crowd is gathering. and yeah, you see liz cheney
7:16 pm
walking up, she is sure going to address the crowd and we hear that she's going to give, you know, a speech that's not just a simple concession speech, charlie. i imagine it's going to be -- we've only just begun. >> of course are minions in the press have already promoted the speech. it's going to be about democracy, so just sit back and learn from the expert on democracy. >> laura: yeah, so charlie, in other words, what just happened in wyoming, does that not count as democracy here? or its only when trump loses that that's democracy. >> right. exactly. and let's not forget, what these people are still so enraged about is not the trump presidency, it's 2016. they are still trying to undo the 2016 election because they -- and of course they do it by accusing everybody else of
7:17 pm
hating democracy when in fact they are the ones who hate democracy and do everything they can to undermine it and joe is exactly right, by the way. the victory today and in november isn't winning the election. it isn't winning control of the house or control of the senate. victory is taking back control of the federal leviathan that has gotten so far out of control that it took somebody like donald trump to come into washington and identify the problems. that -- only then will we have victory. >> laura: joe, again, we are going to await her big speech -- yeah, she's going to speak any moment, but joe, again, this is what the people are clamoring for. they want government off their backs, they don't need 87,000 irs agents coming across -- after the middle class. they want an end to these wars of choice. they want the border enforcement they want wages that keep pace with the cost of living.
7:18 pm
that's not too much to ask, that's what donald trump delivered before this pandemic. we were number one in the gdp for the g7. it looks like liz cheney is approaching the microphone, so we are going to take this in just a moment. it's a prolonged hug. but joe, that's what the people seem to want, and i think we are going to go to liz cheney. let's step in. >> friends and family, especially wonderful to be here on the beautiful ranch, and thank you so much, brad and kate, for that wonderful introduction. we really are in god's country. and it's wonderful to welcome so many here. i want to say first of all, a special thanks to every member of team cheney who is here in the audience. [cheers and applause] and to tell you our work is far from over. [applause] among the many, many blessings that we have as americans and as individuals and as human beings,
7:19 pm
the blessing of family is surely the most important, and so i want to thank all my family and pay special tribute to those who are here with us tonight. my mom and dad, dick cheney and liz cheney. [applause] and my husband phil. [applause] [laughs] and four of our five kids are here. katie and gracie and philip and richard are all here tonight. [applause] and elizabeth is starting law school today, so we will have another generation carrying on dedication to the constitution and to our freedom. [applause] a little over a year ago i received a note from a gold star father. he said to me standing up for truth honors all who gave all. and i have thought of his words
7:20 pm
every single day since then. i've thought of them because they are a reminder of how we must all conduct ourselves. we must conduct ourselves in a way that is worthy of the men and women who wear the uniform of this nation, and in particular of those who have given the ultimate sacrifice. [applause] this is not a game. every one of us must be committed to the eternal defense of this miraculous experiment called america. end of the heart of our democratic process our elections. they are the foundational principle of our constitution. two years ago i won this primary with 73% of the vote. i could easily have done the same again. the path was clear. but it would have required that i go along with president trump's lie about the 2020 election. it would have required that i
7:21 pm
enable his ongoing efforts to unravel our democratic system and attack the foundations of our republic. that was a path i could not and would not take. [cheers and applause] know how seat, no office in this land is more important than the principles that we are all sworn to protect. and i well understood the potential political consequences of abiding by my duty. our republic relies upon the goodwill of all candidates for office to accept honorably the outcome of elections, and tonight, harry heideman has received the most votes in this primary. she won. i called her to concede the race. this primary election is over. but now the real work begins.
7:22 pm
[cheers and applause] the great and original champion of our party, abraham lincoln, was defeated in elections for the senate and the house before he won the most important election of all. lincoln ultimately prevailed, he saved our union, and he defined our obligation as americans for all of history. speaking at gettysburg of the great task remaining before us, lincoln said that we hear highly resolve that these dead shall not have died in vain, that this nation under god shall have a new birth of freedom and that government of the people, by the people, and for the people shall not perish from this earth. as we meet here tonight, that remains our greatest and most important task.
7:23 pm
most of world history is a story of violent conflict, servitude and suffering. most people in most places have not lived in freedom. our american freedom is a providential departure from history. we are the exception. we have been given the gift of freedom by god and our founding fathers. it has been said that the long arc of history bends towards justice and freedom. >> laura: okay, liz cheney just compared herself to abraham lincoln, so that kind of -- that kind of takes us full circle. we will go back to our panel. charlie, this doesn't surprise me really one bit. i mean, it's -- of course she's lincoln, who else would she be at this point in our political history? i mean, what! we had a primary, she decided to go after trump, she thought that was going to deliver her, i
7:24 pm
don't know, onto a stage of glory and victory, and she got thumped. okay? thumped. one of the most conservative states in the united states, where the cheney name was as good as gold for decades and decades. and it's over, but, charlie, it's just begun, she said. the fight has just begun. >> yeah. not only did she compare herself to lincoln, but she also invoked a gold star dad and claimed that she was carrying up the wishes of the gold star dad, which is just kind of -- i understand why she does that, but it's -- it seems a little bit -- a little bit tawdry for a politician to do, but -- you know, i also think it's kind of interesting that she's invoking the civil war, which of course on twitter, if a conservative were to invoke the civil war, they would get kicked off of twitter. i guess we will sit back and wait and see if twitter kicks liz cheney off of twitter for invoking the civil war.
7:25 pm
>> laura: i noticed that as well. we also have an interesting comment about this. jeff from cnn tweeted that -- before the speech, he said that it was going to be delivered in a picturesque spot outside of jackson. veteran tv producer james goldstein, an advisor to the january 6th committee, and a film crew are on hand here in wyoming as a friend of cheney. this all has been a production, has it not? just like january 6, they brought in the fancy producer, for the most part they still got lousy ratings except the few times they went into prime time. but pretty much it's been a ratings flop for them. they are still trying to produce this. this. lincoln. lincoln in jackson. >> it's all complete remanufactured, it's all made-for-tv. they want to make liz cheney
7:26 pm
into some sort of celebrity. it sort of seemed like she was making her announcement that she was running for president sometime in the near future and then just before that, charlie brought it up as well but i'm a veteran, i'm a gold star husband. i think it's despicable for the cheney's to attempt to wrap their greed and hubris in the valor of our fallen men and women. the death of the bush cheney dynasty really just shows that the people that they've sent to go and fight in these wars they benefited from, that we are now taking control of our country. if it's a civil war they want, we are going to fight a political civil war, we are going to fight in the republican party and the deplorables are taking over our government and we don't care what the cheneys and bushes have to say about it. >> laura: it's over for them. they don't know it yet. charlie -- we also should note that i don't think she said she actually congratulated harriet hageman. did she? she said she called her and she won. but i don't believe -- did she say there were -- there was no magnanimity coming from
7:27 pm
lincoln's lips tonight. >> no, of course not. of course not. but also -- you know, i have to say that all the film crews in the world trying to promote her run for president, they are not going to help her anymore than kevin costner's endorsement in wyoming helped her. >> laura: i forgot about that! i forgot about the costner endorsement. that really worked well, didn't it? that didn't work at all. all right, we're going to have more on cheney but we appreciate you, joe and charlie, think of much. there's a lot of other stuff we have to get to. we will dip back to that when appropriate. but something that you all have told me you wanted me to focus on the show is what happened to our work ethic in the united states, so here we are. the war on work. if that's the focus of tonight's "angle." the left ruins everything it touches. they go soft on criminals, they've illinois law law enforcement.
7:28 pm
now we have a major police officer shortage across america. they let left-wing nut bags run our schools, then the institute vaccine mandates. they go soft on student discipline, and now we have a major teacher shortage in america. congratulations! today we learned that 2 million students have left the public school system altogether between 2020 and 2021. that is staggering. and it's not just that nobody wants to work in these toxic environments. fewer people want to work at all. and again, thanks to the left, liberals loved -- remember the covid lockdowns, they are paid to do nothing, loved it. ordering food, zooming happy hours, playing online games, binge watching "tiger can" on netflix. that was fun. so many people were vegging out in front of the screens for so many hours a day they even had a name for it.
7:29 pm
quaranstream. and they marveled at how -- >> if there's a silver line for this crisis visible in the skies above china. >> falling pollution levels brought about by lockdowns may have been shining and impact on sunshine. >> wild animals are now roaming city streets. >> how do we make sure these pollution levels don't rebound? >> laura: all right, they wanted to change the american psyche and in many ways, they succeeded. students are suffering from lost learning and new anxieties. employers are suffering because they can't find workers, and many of those who do show up, they are not happy. >> i recently learned about this term called quiet quitting where you are not outright quitting her job, you're quitting the idea of going above and beyond. you're still performing your duties, but you're no longer subscribing to the hustle culture mentality. the reality is your worth as a person is not defined by or
7:30 pm
labor. >> laura: he is losing masculinity. maybe he doesn't to find work but your paycheck should maybe be defined by how much you work. prolonged covid shutdowns and liberal work from home policies, they gave a lot of workers the notion that staying home was now their right. and who can blame them? after all, nancy pelosi, speaker pelosi, the ultimate queen of entitlement and privilege, she is allowed house to vote from home since the spring of 2020. this proxy voting scam was supposed to expire last week, but she just extended it. for the 18th time. of course because of the public health emergency. that same emergency of course didn't stop her from traveling to taiwan or to italy, and it's certainly not dangerous enough to cancel that congressional baseball game. >> i love baseball, we are season ticket holders, have been forever. in this game is so great, and people are so nice. that sure makes it great. but we are competitive and it's great to be here. have a little fun.
7:31 pm
>> laura: they were hoping for the mask there, but no luck. just when she had her beauty parlor open for her blowouts during the lockdowns might remember, rules and expectations do not apply to them. >> do you think that any of your colleagues are using proxy voting as an excuse to get out of showing up to work? >> no, i don't think so. august is usually a time for us to be in our district, you know, if we choose to take a vacation with our families or something like that, august is usually a time for that, that stuff is usually planned way in advance so i'm sure there were many things that people couldn't reschedule. >> laura: that's what we're doing it for the last two years. yeah. what an example of these people are setting for america. grocery store workers, airline employees, they have to show up. but the people's representatives can't be bothered. the swamp strikes again. and federal workers? you're going to be shocked to know this. they don't want to show up either. the office of personal
7:32 pm
management even pushed telework and the recent guidance. opm doesn't care about how telework affects the people who are paying the actual bills though. a few. have you tried to call a medicare office lately? questions about your passport renewal? nightmare stories there. but again, member the bright side, if no one commutes, the planet is going to be cleaner. but the progressives didn't anticipate the unintended consequences of their green giddiness here. what if they think was going to happen to subways and urban life when fewer people actually commute into the cities? even a small dip in ridership on the subway could send mass transit into bankruptcy. there's also sociological aspect to the sweden-like obsession with work-life balance. says cultural observer malcolm gladwell. >> is very hard to feel necessary when you're physically disconnected. i know it's a hassle.
7:33 pm
but you know, if you work -- if you're just sitting in their pajamas in your bedroom, is that the work-life you want to live? if you don't feel like we are part of something apart and, what's the point? you're not just doing this to get -- if it's just a paycheck, it's like -- what have you reduced your life to? >> laura: but the left just refuses to think about any of this in a rigorous way. they just declared that a four-day workweek is smarter and better for the climate. but have they stopped to ask that with more lung weakens, want americans just choose to travel more? how is that good for the planet? the fact of the matter is, what they really want, really want, it's for businesses to have no choice. eventually the angle could see government mandates that force workers to stay home, or at least a certain percentage of men. fate crises will be cited as a reason to take away your freedoms here. it's a climate emergency, it's a racism emergency, it's a health
7:34 pm
emergency! if it means making you poorer or lowering your standard of living, gutting america's productivity, so be it. it's not like the elites are going to be inconvenienced by any of it. they've done to our public schools or public safety, our borders, and our energy independence, they've done to our american work ethic. but we can turn this around. we have to. by refusing to sit back and wait for someone else to do the hard work of saving what we love about america. and that's "the angle." joining me now is texas congressman chip roy. he is pushing to end the proxy voting that i just told you about. congressman, it's a complete scam. even congressman bowman admitted that people were using it to go on vacations. so do you have any doubt that pelosi is just going to keep extending this until she is no longer speaker at this point? >> of course that's what she's going to do and we fed member
7:35 pm
of -- members of congress vote in their pajamas. they show up to committee hearings on the screens that we watch wearing pajamas. last friday i was with my family on vacation, on a rare break with my family. and i went to the airport, went to savannah, i flew to d.c., and i got out and i did my job. unfortunately, 158 of my colleagues did not. that is over one-third of the so-called people's house. and importantly, when those people go up and they vote by proxy, they are lying. if they are signing a form saying they are doing it because of covid. but you and i both know virtually all of them, if not all of them, were lying when they said it was due to covid. i think that's a problem that i think that's is a very bad message to the american people. yes, i oppose proxy voting, i think we should end it if her republicans are in charge. i also think we should pass legislation to fire bureaucrats who are doing the job. i introduced a bill to do that. and finally, republicans should defund the bureaucracy. should fire the irs agents.
7:36 pm
we should fire the fbi agents who are abusing authority. we should fire the dhs goons were going after border patrol instead of securing the border. let's do our job. >> laura: congressman, i have to you about wyoming. where watching harriet hageman's victory speech tonight. we may have her on in a few moments, but liz cheney actually got up and essentially compared herself to abraham lincoln. who decided it was time to -- like lincoln in a lincoln moment, had to bring the country together and put country before party. given her quick revenge campaign against donald trump. your reaction to that tonight? >> i haven't been able to hear it because i was getting prepared for being on your show but i caught a little bit of it, and look, declaration of independence is very clear, the government derives its power from the consent of the governed. the people of wyoming spoke tonight. and they spoke because they want the agenda that they saw it in
7:37 pm
terms of draining the swamp. they didn't want more of the swamp. that's i think what this boils down to. history has a way of cleansing all of the noise. and when history is judged, when we look at this moment, it's about a change. it's about moving forward. it's about not 2022 or 2024, but 2026, when america turns 250 years old. are we going to live free or are we going to continue to fund the bureaucracy, expand government at the expense of our freedom? it is time for change. that time is now, and i think the people are speaking across the country and this is one example of a buried >> laura: i hope mitch mcconnell is watching tonight because the bush cheney era is over. congressman, thank you. masses now well, no joke. i'm going to explain, next. t ju. they're promises. promises of all shapes and sizes. each, with a time and a place they've been promised to be. a promise is everything to old dominion,

over. but now the real work begins. the great and original champion of our party, abraham lincoln, was defeated in elections for the senate and the house before he won the most important election of all. lincoln ultimately prevailed. he saved our union, he defined our obligation as americans for history. >> laura: abraham cheney there, that was her concession speech just a short while ago. joining me now, charlie kirk, turning point usa founder. you know this is life tv. i'm changing the topic right on the fly, the good old radio days. you heard liz cheney on the link in comparison read your reaction tonight, we may be joined by harriet hageman in a moment. but your reaction? >> i was just chuckling. i didn't know who i was listening to first come and i said is that liz cheney comparing herself to abraham lincoln? and it's like no way, are you kidding me? really quick, look, tonight is

the fall of a dynasty. it's a dynasty that thought of themselves like a oligarch, not part of our representative republic. it's the same thing that happened in arizona. same thing that happened all across the country. you've seen the bush dynasty, the mccain dynasty, all of these different types of dynasties challenged by the people, and it's really interesting, laura, the people that scream the most about democracy, they are not very good at winning elections when they are actually put in the hands of the people, and i think liz cheney is trying to turn a loss into a victory tonight, but this is a mass repudiation of dynastic, multigenerational rule, of endless foreign wars, of bad trade deals, of just looking down on the american people. laura, i thought your opening of the eulogy was terrific and we will see what liz cheney does next, maybe want to represent her home state of virginia or become a k street lobbyists, with the people are back in charge in wyoming. >> laura: i'm glad you mentioned the virginia suburbs of d.c., because she does represent fairfax county, virginia.

she represents them really well because they are super liberal. but that's not wyoming. we hung out in wyoming not so long ago, and that's just -- even in teton county, kind of liberal there, but the rest of wyoming is just -- you know, the cowboy man. that's classic america. >> that's right. that's exactly right. and liz cheney was more focused on a january 6th committee, going on cable television, then representing actual needs, wants, and interests of wyoming, and so you're going to see the media have a difficult time with this because their new narrative is that the right is antidemocracy. you see it in all their articles, it's nauseating. what could be more democratic than going into a summer primary where one candidate has ubiquitous name i.d., is the daughter of a former vice president, has more money than the opponent, and then loses by double digits? how is that not democracy at its best? and you're right, they have a rugged independent spirit, they love liberty and wyoming. and this is a great watershed moment again of people saying

that they want to be back in charge to restore the consent of the governed and representative government. >> laura: only in cheney's brain can you get thumped and then conclude from that that you are going to be the next president of the united states, to save the whole country. >> another president. abraham lincoln. like okay, yeah, sure. >> laura: the next surge in iraq is going to save iraq. charlie, thank you very much. up next, the big winner of the night, we are going to talk to harry hageman, who just beat liz cheney in her first stop is right here on "the ingraham angle." we will be right back.

wyoming and all of our volunteers and supporters. we've been able to succeed. >> laura: did liz cheney call you and congratulate you? how was the tone of the conversation? >> i haven't had an opportunity to visit with her. we have been kind of wrapped up in all of the stuff associated with what's going on downstairs without a watch party, as you can imagine. we have several hundred people downstairs ready to celebrate, who have been celebrating, and so i have not been able to even look at my phone, so i don't know if she's called or not. so i don't really have anything to report on that. >> laura: that's interesting. did you happen to hear that part of her speech was a continued vow, harriet, to make sure donald trump never stepped foot in the white house after what happened on january 6th, which was -- i guess not surprising that she said that, but your reaction tonight?
7:53 pm
>> again, i have not had an opportunity to even see or hear what she had to say, because i've been kind of focused on what's going on here. it doesn't surprise me that she would revert to those same old talking points, because that's really in large part what got her defeated. she is not focusing on wyoming, she's not focusing on our issues. she is still focusing on an obsession about president trump and the citizens of wyoming, the voters of wyoming sent a very loud message tonight. we have spoken. and that is not what we are interested in in terms of our loan congressional representative. wyoming is entitled to have a representative that represents our interests, listens to us, addresses our issues. that isn't liz cheney and the fact that that's where she went back to with her speech tonight i think demonstrates that she really is listening to wyoming now, she hasn't for quite some time, and that's why we needed to replace her. we need to have a representative in wyoming who listens to us. >> laura: and, harriet, what i was lucky enough to spend quite a bit of time in wyoming in july, the things that i heard most often from folks there were
7:54 pm
inability to get workers, the cost of fuel, and the cost of just basic living. rent, and food. no one was focusing on trump. i don't think anyone i talked to, that wasn't top of mind. >> no. inflation, illegal immigration, and protection of our energy jobs are the issues that are the most important to wyoming. and accountability. we actually expect our representatives were present are interests. that's what i've heard so much on the campaign trail. if so i'm excited, thank you for having us. it's a wonderful evening. >> laura: harriet, congratulations, we can't wait to see what the future holds for you. you worked hard this campaign. we really appreciate it. final thoughts on, yes, but historic night, when we return.
