midterm elections, biden's failing economy and what motivates him to want to get back in the game potentially. hope you'll join us tomorrow night. set your dvr. never miss an episode of "hannity." thank you for making the show possible. in the meantime, let not your heart be troubled. laura ingraham and "the ingraham angle" is next. see you tomorrow night. ♪ ♪ >> i'm laura ingraham. this is "the ingraham angle" with a very big show tonight. let's get right to it. the day the happy talk died. that is the focus of tonight's angle. for all these months, the biden team basically waved off concerns about the economy claiming that things would kind of even out. that this was kind of a transition to more sustainable growth. >> we have a very strong economy. i know people are upset and

rightly so about inflation. but there's nothing to suggest a recession is in the works. i believe there is a path through this that entails a soft landing with the economy essentially stabilizing. >> laura: well, how is that soft landing feeling to you guys out there tonight? how does that woman still have a job when so many americans are now at a risk of losing their jobs? we know why. >> she became the first woman in the 232 year history of the u.s. department of treasury to hold that position. >> laura: come on, being a first was more important to biden. instead of being the best. now we are all suffering for the incompetence. the dow is 746 points lower than it was on inauguration day for biden. that means all the gains that we made under trump were totally wiped out.

that's before you account for inflation and by the way, things are about to get uglier. walmart announced it would only hire 40,000 retail staff for the holiday shopping period. 40,000 sounds a lot until he realized that last year walmart hired 150,000 holiday workers. biden with his team of incompetence, starring in the grinches who stole christmas. instead of a growing heart, biden has a shrinking brain. >> the proliferation ideas. speak to the fact is there is no biden brain trust. it's only brain rest. they somehow convince themselves that they could trust the fed that could fix everything going on in the economy no matter how

much they spent, no matter how much they borrowed, printed and wasted, they would never be any consequences for americans. larry summers, the old obama treasury secretary saw this train wreck coming back in the spring of 2021. let's be clear, the former treasury secretary wasn't trying to undercut the biden team. he was trying to save them. he's a loyal democrat. but the left, the regime media, the dolt's in the biden administration, they didn't care. they thought they knew better. they pursued reckless spending. now they are facing november wiped out. the american people are facing a long period of decline and despair tonight. meanwhile the reality is coming for biden's foreign policy as well. here again we have been fed

months of happy talk. remember we were told that sanctions on russian oil were going to rob hooton of all the funds he needed to wage this work? >> the most significant package of economic sanctions. causing significant damage to russian's economy. causing it to crater. >> laura: the opposite is true. foolish energy prices in the west caused energy prices to spike, sending more money into putin's coffers. russia is getting a big assist of the same time from president xi and john kerry's friends at the ccp. while india is also keeping the russia energy markets humming, meanwhile russia simply turned around and uses its nord stream two pipeline. >> suggesting that there should be at turndown and heating.

>> other plants in france include delaying heat for public buildings this winter. >> laura: and now europe is facing its own recession and that's going to drag down the global economy into a very cold winter. as for the actual progress of the work itself, is a -- the entire thing is starting to remind me of iraq. lots of happy talk, no reality checks. >> ukraine is taking back territory from russia. is it signed that the war is shifting? >> do you think this indeed is a turning point in the war for ukraine? this isn't, what would be? >> it's a very good sign. >> i'm guarded and cautious about this but the tide clearly has turned. >> laura: over and over we are told the same message that we heard about afghanistan. with just a little bit more money from the united states, in this case vladimir putin will crack. >> we are going to stay with

them as long as they need our help. >> your north of $15 billion in terms of those commitments. how far do you go? >> as long as it takes. >> ironclad commitment? >> yes. >> laura: as long as it takes a question like that could be many years because putin just announced he's calling at 300,000 reservists to send a ukraine. our crack military leadership anticipate any of this? even tom friedman, the elite's favorite global thinker, he is sounding the alarm saying "how does this more end with a stable result? we still don't know. the e.u. is divided on how to deal with the war, especially where the populist backlash has emerged when people get totally stressed. european leaders will begin to ask is there a way out through negotiations? it's a little bit late for the establishment to tell us the whole ukraine saga may not have

a happy ending? the angle was warning you in march about the risks of a biden proxy war. >> history shows that the longer a war lasts, the more costly it is. u.s. policymakers have to be very careful to make sure we do not end up in a worse position when this is all over. but the american people must be told that the risks of escalating things with russia are not negligible. it may in fact draw us even closer direct confrontation with russia which as we all know is a nuclear power. today we inch closer to the nuclear cliff. >> >> interpreter: those that try to blackmail us with nuclear weapons should know their prevailing winds can also blow in their direction. if the territorial integrity of our country is threatened without a doubt use all available means to protect russia and our people. this is not a bluff. >> laura: now amazingly, secretary austin and general mark milley, the same

two who oversaw the debacle of our withdrawal from afghanistan, are still in biden's cabinet. but incompetence gets people killed. the pentagon is still putting american lives at risk. this time not just dozens outside of an airport but perhaps millions here at home. we all want the best for ukrainian people. they have suffered lately. it's a terrible tragedy. but you can't run u.s. foreign policy on emotion alone. by the way, one poll more than any other, looking toward the midterms may be the bellwether for the prospects of the democrats. 64% of the country now say that we are headed in the wrong direction. this is a good time to remember what biden promised on the campaign trail. >> i said i'm running for three reasons. one, to restore the soul of america, the decency and the honor of this country. to rebuild the backbone of the country. the backbone of the country, the working women and men, the middle class.

the third reason that iran was to unify the country. to unify it. >> laura: the country is getting unified all right, really united. united behind the idea that biden of the democrats are dragging us down a rat hole. no amount of happy talk by the press pals are going to change those facts. the voters may not agree with republicans on everything, we know that. but they hate what the democrats are doing to america. that's "the angle." joining me now, former secretary of state mike pompeo, distinguished fellow at the hudson institute. mr. secretary, i think more than anything else here that is disturbing is this lack of accountability. which really offends me most given what's at stake. >> it's pretty remarkable, laura. hearing president biden talk about we are back, america is

back. it feels like 1976, 1979. people are not being told to turn down the thermostat. they told were not going to have enough energy. not being told to solve the economic problems. going to lay off hundreds of thousands of americans, get on a plane up to 5% were 6% to solve this problem. every family in america can feel that. when it comes to our national security, we lost the bubble, we are the bad guys. xi jinping, vladimir putin, the taliban, they understand they couldn't do what they've done to america these last 18 months. every american, not republicans, not democrats, every american can feel that they are less secure, less safe, borders under threat, crime is higher. those are things that come. a four weeks from now from people start loading the midterms, i think the american people are going to reject exactly what it is present biden has given them. >> laura: here was biden today, secretary pompeo, touting his one of his really big

priorities at the u.n. watch. >> my administration is working with our congress to deliver more than $11 billion a year to international climate finance. to help lower income countries limit their private goals. insure a just energy transition. >> laura: mr. secretary, we are wasting more money on projects that do nothing to keep this country safe, nothing. >> everyone remembers solyndra. it seems like history is repeating itself with the obama years of the carter years. we take taxpayer money and give it to some slush fund leftist to do something that will have no value for the american people. we have trapped american energy in the ground. there was a deeply clinical decision. the president of a kind of so the quiet part out loud. he talked about the inflation reduction act. ted is the biggest climate

project in american history. it's bad for the american people, dangerous for security. i'm confident there's not a family and americo thinks that was a good idea or that it will serve their own family well. >> laura: the citibank seo appeared at a congressional hearing today and she was answering a question about d coupling from china which is something that you and i have talked about a lot. watch what she says. >> we look at the clients that we serve, many of them are multinational clients in china. we see that there is a high degree of interdependence. we've got to take a strategic view in america as to where it is with that we need more strategic independence. to build that in a thoughtful manner. also in a way that doesn't cause crises, economic crises. >> laura: okay, jane fraser, mr. secretary. she doesn't want to pull back from china because they have a lot of chinese clients.

i adjusted the quick summation of what she said. >> that's a pretty good summary, one that you and i have heard from being financed here in the united states for an awfully long time. i will tell you it also sounds awful lot like what i heard from chinese leadership, chinese leaders saying we are so connected. it will be really bad for you. this is precisely the wrongheaded thinking that for 40 years didn't recognize the chinese communist party has declared economic war on america. we allow them to do it. i hope our senior financial leaders will begin to truly understand that they are american companies with american interests and do the things that will defend american freedom. >> laura: they are not acting like that. no, no. they said today, which is true, they said "we don't make policy but we consult with the u.s. government." jamie timon might have said that today. so i mean, so but they're making it clear, you can't decouple because that would cause --

what i was hated jamie timon as he wanted biden and now you got biden. how does it feel? does it feel good? >> don't forget when congress attempted to put pressure on china about their human rights violation, the banks lobbied against it. they went to capitol hill and said it's a bad idea to protect human rights. to say they don't shape policy and impact america is wrong. >> laura: great to see you. another pillar in the left's dream world is that the walls are closing in on former president trump. today the corrupt new york attorney general leticia james filed a lawsuit against former president trump. several of his family members, associates and businesses were also named in the action. the allegation was that there were numerous acts of fraud and misrepresentation in financial statements. many reasons why this charade is

an obvious active political retribution. the timing. james is a political hack. dropping this 48 days before the midterms just reeks. she herself is locked in a close race then should like and deep blue new york. she included the trump kids which even bill barr, no fan of trump, called a gross overstep. finally, she campaigned on this. >> running for attorney general because i will ever be afraid to challenge this illegitimate president when our fundamental rights are at stake. it's important everyone understand the days of donald trump are coming to an end. >> i look forward into going into the office of attorney general every day, suing him, defending our rights, then going home. >> laura: what an odious individual. training we know is michael henry, he is the republican challenging the new york attorney general. obviously the race is in

november. shouldn't trump's lawyers moved to disqualify james, given her previous statements about targeting from? >> i don't want to make any comments, conclusions under investigation that i might inherit when i take office but what's most publishing turtle troubling about letitia james, she ran for office saying she's going to fight crimes to charge the former president with. i think she has an issue in the timing correlates with some polling numbers that i think shocked her. >> laura: right now new york is lagging behind. generally a same population in states. you look at or economic growth in florida, new businesses, new people moving in. florida is killing new york across the board, killing them by beating them. and yet this is what the state is focusing on. we have a rampant violent crime problem and a corrupt state

legislature. through that into the mix. >> cost-of-living crisis, crime crisis, corruption crisis. we are in a situation where everyday new yorkers understand that letitia james does not care about crime. she recently said she needs more credible data. that means more victims. she turns it wide-eyed to the corruption going on with kathy hochul. taxpayers are apparently subsidizing her reelection campaign. cost-of-living crisis. the inefficiencies of that attorney general's offices. this is why she is suffering in the polls. everyday new yorkers understand. i have the best polling numbers right now of any statewide republican in over 20 years. >> laura: well, i'm telling you new york can't want this. i don't care what you think about trump but new york state is not functioning state. it's not functioning.

you're bleeding letitia james in the new trafalgar poll i just saw. it's very close, only a .31.2 percentage points. excuse me. my math isn't very good tonight. that's pretty cool. we hope it keeps up. >> we knew this was winnable. we have seen a pathway to victory. transcends party affiliation. they are tired of letitia james. she is an effective, the most political attorney general in the country. they can go to my website to find out more. michaelhenryforag.com. >> laura: good luck to you. you've got to make a change new york. the clinton global initiative has resurrected its annual conference in order to promote their latest graft. what is it? we are going to tell you next. plus a liberal nutcase admits to running down a conservative teen

in his car and killing him. so where are the cries of condemnation from biden and his pals? that story next. back to inviting. back to loving. back to life. back to the little bit of jamaica that's inside all of us. come back to being lively again. back to laid back. back to romantic. come back to the vibe that comes alive. in jamaica.

>> they are back. >> laura: bill and phil are back with the return of the annual clinton initiative soiree. the muted return is evidence of its first family are doing some brand burnishing. brand burnishing? maybe their pocketbook spent. it so happens to be something we have warned you about for over a year. i am talking about esg investing, that arbitrary rating system that globalists are using to pressure companies to conform their practices. this discussion would not be complete without black roxio and the china stooge larry fink getting a tongue bath from slick

willie. >> considering the social impact of their investments. try not just to go for a quick rate of return if it is damaging to society. instead they are trying to build a future we can all share. i want to say one thing about larry that i really admire. apart from the fact that he's not a climate change denier. >> i am the target of all of those. >> laura: oh, my god. [laughs] i'm still laughing about the tongue bath. fink was happy to use this opportunity to push his new talking point. >> tectonic shift is happening. we are seeing it where crops are being produced and not being produced. we are seeing big shifts because of heat and drought. seeing crops moving. we are seeing evidence every day that climate risk is investment risk.

>> laura: there is the graft. investment groups is code for fink and the clinton global initiative to cash in. where did this money come from? watch this response from one of the u.n.'s esg czars. >> was going to come with all the money. >> 14 or 17 trillion for covid. the money must be there somewhere. >> laura: very sophisticated analysis. this isn't about sustainability of the planet. this is about the sustainability of their own bank accounts because while they get rich off this scheme, you're going to continue to get poorer. joining us now is one of the leading voices warning us about the smoke capital, david's chairman and ceo of teton capital.

author of a terrific book. david. shouldn't be lost to anyone that this esg pushes happening as the global economy is already sinking. when you heard clinton, he kind of gave up the ghost because he said, you know, even if the return to investors isn't the greatest, we are not going to hurt the planet. kind of admitting that they are not living up to their fiduciary responsibility to the investors, correct, the shareholders? >> absolutely. there is an article in "the wall street journal." pointing out that for years as they followed the esg initiatives, they have underperformed all of the major pension funds in the country. they didn't tell their pensioners they were investing their money this way and that perhaps it would be a bad idea. this whole thing is part of the breakdown of the institutions that make this country great.

this focus on him were true signaling esg. trying to put people on the board of directors just for diversity purposes rather than for qualification purposes. i was a chairman-ceo. would any of the passengers wanted us to select pilots not based upon the cockpit qualifications but their sexual orientation or gender or race or religion? the course not. yet that's what we are applying to america. what's worse is there are no standards. i wrote a letter to larry think two years ago saying this is absurd. you are marketing a product for your business by pretending you're doing something good. if you look at the initiatives that president biden talked about today, supposed to be in inflation reduction act. talked about 300 billion going to electric car charters.

think about it. there is no plan to deal with if the existential threat of our country and our world's co2, there's not a single plan but they're going to spend $300 billion building charging stations and government hasn't decided on a single charging method. tesla has a different one than general motors has. it's insane. >> laura: david, i want to play this exchange between rashida tlaib, squad member, and jamie dimon, ceo of jpmorgan. capitol hill. >> please answer with a simple yes or no. does your bank have a policy against funding new oil and gas products? >> absolutely not. that would be the road to hell for america. >> laura: that's a good line. jpmorgan is a member of that u.n. backed net zero banking alliance. if he thinks that this is nuts why not withdraw from that?

>> i would agree. stick with the country wants to come together in a consensus which is an important word that we use in the book a lot which is what our founding fathers formed our foundation around which was consensus. it takes three quarters of the states to amend the constitution, it takes two-thirds of the senate to remove someone for impeachment. if we had a consensus around climate change and a planted deal with it, you would naturally have to have a slope to decrease using fossil fuels over 30 or 40 years while you increase other forms of energy et cetera. don't have any of that. last time i checked it's completely legal to utilize natural gas in your home heating to make electricity or petroleum products in your car. and yet our congress wants to bludgeon banks not to loan money to people which by the way he made a great .3 the worst thing you can do for our economy is to take away petroleum products.

it is the lifeblood of the american and global economy. >> laura: david, your book is so important. you have actual real-world experience leading payrolls, hiring employees, a lot of these people in politics have never made a payroll and i'm so glad that you wrote this book and i hope you come back soon. great to see you. >> maga forces are determined to seek this country backwards. they promote authoritarian leaders and they fanned the flames of political violence. there are a threat to our personal rights. >> laura: you think with the way that biden talks right wing violence is pervasive. get over the last few weeks it's attacks from the left that are intensifying. in north dakota over the weekend shannon brandt was arrested after admitting to mowing down the 18-year-old. in his confession come he claimed ellingsen was part of a republican extremist group. at worst, he was released from

jail yesterday after posting just $50,000 in bond. here now is congressman jim jordan, ranking member of house judiciary. this guy admits to murder m murg someone. >> think about this, you have this tragic event that you described in north america. crime on the rising every urban area. a county in maryland that is a curfew because it's so bad. what does joe biden do? rating the home of a former president, taking the phone of a sitting member of congress and the justice department is juicing the numbers. labeling everything domestic violent extremism cases. it's political. i don't think it's an accident that a term this terrible guy use when he killed this young man was republican extremism.

the same term joe biden used when he stood there in front of independence hall and that crazy speech with his fists clenched saying half the country was extremist. that's a real concern. the good news is i think the country sees this all for what it is and is fed up with it and is going to vote on a couple of key issues. crime, inflation, freedom. that's what the country is focused on. >> laura: biden, it always goes back to charlottesville. its veins bulging, tiki torches. we played a montage. 15 times he has mentioned those things. we have a summer of love, everything being ripped to shreds in american cities. it is crickets from merrick garland and joe biden. nothing, zero. political targeting. >> right. they are so focused on going the other way. so focus on as i said, cooking the books. we have had whistle-blowers tell

us they are being forced impression to categorize cases as domestic violence extremism cases in the way they are reporting that january 6th incident as if they are happening all of the country when it was one event here in washington, d.c., to juice these numbers. that's from an fbi agent coming to us under whistle-blower protection. it's all part of this narrative to demonize half the country. your previous guests talked about consensus. i would love consensus around the things that make america great, special. but when you've got a president who is focused on going after half the country, it is just really difficult to get consensus. >> laura: well, the man who promised dignity and unity, that's a hell of a way of pursuing it. thank you. the president loses his way of the u.n. and raymond arroyo has a big announcement. "seen and unseen" next.

woman tc: my a1c stayed here, it needed to be here. doctor tc: ruby's a1c is down with rybelsus®. man tc: my a1c wasn't at goal, now i'm down with rybelsus®.

son tc: mom's a1c is down with rybelsus®. song: a1c down with rybelsus® anncr vo: in a clinical study, once-daily rybelsus® significantly lowered a1c better than the leading branded pill. anncr vo: rybelsus® isn't for people with type 1 diabetes. anncr vo: don't take rybelsus® if you or your family ever had medullary thyroid cancer, or have multiple endocrine neoplasia syndrome type 2, or if allergic to it. anncr vo: stop rybelsus® and get medical help right away if you get a lump or swelling in your neck, severe stomach pain, or an allergic reaction. anncr vo: serious side effects may include pancreatitis. gallbladder problems may occur. tell your provider about vision problems or changes. anncr vo: taking rybelsus® with a sulfonylurea or insulin increases low blood sugar risk. anncr vo: side effects like nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea may lead to dehydration, which may worsen kidney problems. mom tc: need to get your a1c down? song: a1c down with rybelsus® anncr vo: ask your healthcare provider about rybelsus® today.

>> laura: you have a big announcement. let's start with biden with the u.n. >> people only see the sound bites on the president at the u.n. but here's part of his global pitch that was probably unseen by most of you. >> according to those -- a road map eliminating global food insecurity. the venezuelan led dialogue. a return to free and fair elections. >> thank you for your tolerance and listening to me. >> you have to extend your tolerance a bit more. remember. the president is asking the world to follow him, defend democracy, follow him. where is he headed. [applause]

>> mr. president, thank you. at the end of such a momentous event, the word thank you seems kind of inadequate. for all the millions whose lives will be saved, communities were lives will be transformed. thank you, president biden, for your outstanding leadership. >> forget funding ukraine. the u.n. needs to buy, seeing-eye dog. he doesn't know where he's go going. >> laura: raymond, you know all those tedious stickers of the grocery store telling us we could only go one way during covert, those liberal women would yell at you if you were in the wrong direction. get out of the way. i'm getting a can of soup. they need to get those stickers for biden. he needs those grocery stores stickers.

get him off the stage. >> i'm not sure would help. given $54 billion to ukraine. that's three times with the e.u. contributed. he's asking for more money from us, not from the e.u. i guess to anesthetize people to the wobbly leadership, inflation, crime, the white house has an answer. this friday they are hosting a concert on the south lawn featuring elton john. it's called a night where hope and history rhyme. the title comes from an irish poem. >> hope and history rhyme. hope and history rhyme. hope and history rhyme. hope and history rhyme. then we can help make hope and history rhyme. >> where does all of this hope and history lead? the bidens are beating the yellow brick road goodbye at their concert with elton, the people in detroit and all of us will be bidding goodbye to a piece of the interstate in

detroit. the highway is racist according to transportation secretary pete buttigieg. >> there is racism physically built into some of our highways. so this rolling national defidemolition is starting with i-375 to the tune of a hundred $4 million. coming out of the bipartisan trillion dollar inpatient sure bill. this is just the beginning of writing racial wrongs by taking down your interstate system. >> laura: the environmental racism that kamala and people have talked about. i know that it was last year that you went to the streets of new orleans, your asked people whether they wanted this overpass in their community removed. >> the expressway, that's the only way people get back and forth from work. there's no traffic. >> how people get together. it's how we see each other. >> why would you tear it down?

it's been there since 1968. why would you tear it down? the people need a bridge for to go to work. >> i don't support them to take it out. >> they are the people in their community. they are all african americans. they didn't see anything racist about their only way out of the interstate and therefore connection to the larger community. it's beautiful it is coming to new york, california, arizona next. >> laura: pete buttigieg is such a genius. before you go, we have a big color reveal of your new book series coming in march. how many books do you have? we are confusing. >> it's called the unexpected light of thomas alva edison. it's part of my new turnabout tail series coming from harpercollins. the book focuses on the lives of great american's in this case addison.

how crisis and a mothers love turned little al into the world's greatest inventor. pretty great series. that's after christmas took over the christmas book "the wise men who found christmas." i have to keep them coming. i have college to pay for. >> laura: all right, congrats. stay with us and of the individual because i'm a very special someone to sing happy birthday to you. up next, you think the recent wave of violent crime plaguing the country would spurn defund the police democrats ahead of them in terms but think again. wait till we show you how the squad has the upper hand or the lower hand on crime and old j joke. your joints... or your digestion... so why wouldn't you take something for the most important part of you... your brain. with an ingredient originally discovered in jellyfish, prevagen has been shown in clinical trials to improve short-term memory.

>> when it comes to a public safety these days, the answer is not defund the police. it is fund the police. fund the police. and give them -- we expect them to do everything. we expect them to protect us. >> laura: not so fast. the squad just scored a huge anti-police win that politico framed as a pre-election deal. what did the democrats send out

to brief their congresswoman, the progressive congresswoman. ensuring funds are used to invest in smaller police departments, and de-escalation. as for the mob voted democrat amendments, they all failed on e same day. we saw these headlines, an elderly man attacked in new york, toddler found dead in a stolen car in houston and armed robber opening fire at a los angeles 7-eleven. joining me now, brandon tatum. former police officer and author of "beaten black and blue." brandon, this is almost like -- it would be funny if it wasn't so deadly serious. the bill is going to ensure they say smaller police forces. they set out to brief the public on it.

>> these people are either evil or during story combination of both. there is way the world that you can preach for so many months saying that you want to defund the police and police are systemically racist in the now your stabbing them in the back. you want to get them the training, work on de-escalation. this is already generated from a myth. they believe police officers are racially biased. they are taking examples of politlegitimate uses of force ad firming them as though police officers are doing things that are inappropriate. they are coming up with policy that i believe it's only going to destroy policing in america, just like they wanted to. >> laura: i mean, it's shocking that they are so brazenly admitting what they're going to do here. blaming police, not the criminals et cetera. this is going to get worse because democrat mandella barnes, running for senate in

wisconsin against ron johnson. he's a leftist. said this about police and crime back in 2020. >> police don't prevent crimes from happening. we don't live in a surveillance state. nor would we want to. this isn't the minority report. it's not like cops are just showing up to stop something before it happens. they are to respond and try to solve crimes. >> laura: i guess it isn't surprising that not a single wisconsin police officer supports this candidacy that we could find. >> tell me you know nothing about police without telling me you know nothing about police. he has no idea. he has never done a ride along. the purpose of policing is to be proactive. proactive policing. that traffic stop. you catch the criminal, you catch the criminal before they robbed the bank.

you catch them the first time they beat up their girlfriend. proactive policing if you have enough police on the force coming or supporting them, backing them, morale is high. they dominate. in the industry of stopping people from committing crimes. there pushing legislation. our country deserves better. >> laura: thank you so much for your wise words tonight. pop quiz. what prominent politician did we get to sing happy birthday to raiment? we are going to reveal it in moments.

>> laura: we didn't go small this year because there is a big name politician that we got to belt out happy birthday. >> ♪ have a birthday to you ♪ ♪ happy birthday to you ♪ ♪ happy birthday ♪ ♪ happy birthday to you ♪ >> you shouldn't have.

you shouldn't have. what was that all about? >> laura: love you, raymond. the best is "happy birthday to you." >> look at that. i'm going to find a graphics person that did this and i will hunt you down. that's going to be my birthday. >> laura: that's it for us tonight. greg gutfeld takes it now. ♪ ♪ >> greg: that's true. it's true. all right. yes, happy wednesday. happy wednesday, everyone. great show. i'm so excited. jared kushner has joined us. if you look closely, you can see the regret starting to take shape on his
