walker and some surprise guests. you'll have to tune in. anyway, please join us on monday. don't miss it. please every night set your dvr so you never miss an episode. thanks for making the show possible. have a great weekend. see you back from georgia on monday. stay tuned. laura ingraham, "the ingraham angle" is next. have a great weekend. >> laura: i'm laura ingraham. this is "the ingraham angle" from washington. thanks for being with us on a friday night. men who hide, that's the focus of tonight's angle. all right. i'm starting tonight with a few hypotheticals. back to law school days. so if you're thinking of putting an addition on your house, maybe renovating your kitchen, would you trust john fetterman to review the bids and negotiate with the builders? for that matter, would you trust joe biden to hire the best team

to get the job done? now, if the answer to those questions is no and i imagine it is for most of use, neither man is really capable of serving as a u.s. senator or the u.s. president. at least not without a lot of people making decisions for him, protecting him from scrutiny and hiding the truth from the voters. of course, this is what is happening in both cases. now, nbc news reporter dasha burns dared to provide facts that helped pennsylvania voters answer the question on their mind. namely is fetterman really well enough to take on the demands of the job of u.s. senator. >> because of his stroke, he required closed captioning to read our questions as we asked them. laster, in small talk before the interview without captioning, it wasn't clear he was understanding our conversation. >> mind you, this was the first

sit-down interview that fetterman had agreed to since his stroke. so pretty important, don't you think, to be transparent with the voters, correct? and the immediate react of the press poodles to that reporter's assessment of what she saw is to attack their own reporter. >> other journalists that dealt with fetterman came forward and say they had a different experience. >> our team was the first to be in the room with fetterman for an interview rather than via remote video conference. our crew did find that small talk before that captioning was difficult because of those auditory processing issues. >> laura: savannah, savannah. left wing websites joined in to promote the absurd on its face claim that that reporter was somehow fuelling bias against people with disabilities or as its called ablism. now, from the outset, the angle has expressed empathy and

sympathy for fetterman's condition. we repeatedly urged him to take the time at home to heal and recover. a stroke is serious. it's life threatening and a major medical event. recovery can be long and arduous. and outcomes vary. those are the facts. yet now the left is so desperate to hold on to power, its even enlisting wives to help hide the politicians true physical and cognitive struggles. standing by your man is one thing but propping him up when people need strong and vigorous leadership, that's dishonest and craven. enter gisele fetterman. >> what a disservice she did to my husband and anyone facing a disability. i don't know how there were not consequences, right? there's consequences for folks in these positions that are any of the isms.

she was like where is your training. it was a pauling to see. i haven't heard an apology. it hasn't come. >> laura: it was appalling to see? what exactly was appalling? the reporter is pointing out that the interview is unusual. it was unusual. that a candidate for senate requires a giant screen in front of him to answer fairly simple questions? look, as many of us know first hand, being even a part-time care giver to a sick family member itself is very difficult, very trying. but this doesn't give anyone any spouse the right to trash a reporter for actually doing her job. they certainly were all about protecting the press when trump was president. >> donald trump demonizes the press. >> he calls the press the enemy of the people. these reckless words have conse

consequences. >> it's a dangerous environment. >> laura: indeed last month, things got deadly when one democrat got amped up about supposedly negative reporting. >> police have confirmed the search warrant is in connection with the murder of 69-year-old jeff gherman. robert telles was the report of an investigation of bullying, favoritism and having an affair with a woman in his office. telles lost his primary and many blame the negative reports. >> laura: it's very disturbing. of course, this doesn't fit the democrat narrative. the democrat in this case is the accused killer. it's not just gisele fetterman's vendetta against a reporter, it

seems like she's the candidate. again, we're victims, so vote for us. >> what has it been like campaigning at a time in which there's this unprecedented wave of negative ads, b.s. attacks? >> i'm good. i cry a lot. but everything is fine. i teach my kids to be good people, right? then you have like an awful person running to represent them themselves. people thought like with trump this can't happen. it can happen. >> laura: this template for this wife shield husband routine is always playing out before our eyes a tractor trailer white house almost every day. >> spread the faith, folks. thanks so very, very much. thanks.

>> god bless america. thank you. >> laura: >> who is really in charge here? do we even know? does anyone really think that joe biden is capable of working 12 hour days if needed? the meager reporting on his workdays seems to indicate that he's good for maybe four or five hours. of course, everyone knows that being leader of the free world requires round-the-clock focus and stamina. we're supposed to pretend that joe is capable of this? that he's really running the show? >> they don't call it super tuesday for nothing. by the way, this is my little sister, valerie. i'm jill's husband. oh, no. you switched on me. this is my wife. this is my sister. they switched on me. >> laura: now, remember, that was two years ago. he's gone from not remembering his wife or his sister to not

remembering how to exit a stage when his wife is not there to direct him. >> thank you all for all you're doing. god bless you all. >> mr. president, thank you. at the end of such a momentous event, the word thank you seems inadequate. >> laura: that still terrifies me. what do you think putin and xi think or are we guilty of ageism for racing the obvious questions here. this is not getting better. it's getting worse. should we assume the first lady will be there correcting the president in meetings with world leaders since she has to do it on a routine basis?

>> a little change in the a rangement of who is on stage because of the first lady's husband contracting covid. look at this room. what you'll see -- pardon? that's right. she's fine. [laughter] second lady, the first gentleman. how about that? >> laura: if only it were funny. it's disgraceful. for men in positions of power to hide behind their wives. to hide behind phony victim status. it's equally disgraceful for the wives and the staff to stone wall and defame those asking legitimate questions. if the candidate can't submit to real questions or needs a family member or a journalist to play defense for him, then he doesn't deserve your vote or serious consideration. given what we're all facing here

in america and in pennsylvania, we can't take any chances. that's the angle. joining me now is jason chaffetz, fox news contributor and mike davis, president of article 3 project and former clerk to justice kneel -- neil gorsuch. mike, your react to this cocoon surrounding fetterman when we know what a day in the life of a senator at full tilt is all about. >> yeah, the 13 million people of pennsylvania need to decide that they have two home state senators. they need to decide if they want one who is going to be smart and effective and be able to work with his colleagues to get the 60 votes necessary to deliver for pennsylvania, do they want fentanyl treatment grants to go to new york and illinois or want the grants to go to

pennsylvania. when these home state senators are picking federal judges, do you want a home state senator that will be independent and provide and independent check on president biden or do you want a home state senator that will be biden and schumer's puppet in this is a critical decision for pennsylvania voters to make. do you want someone that they're going to wheel in and vote and vote for biden and vote for schumer or do you want and independent-minded senator that will represent pennsylvania. >> laura: i think the problem here, guys and jason i'll direct this at you, no one knows who is making the decisions. i think people every day, once a day, come up and say, who is really in charge at the white house? this will be the case in a senator's office as well if this goes fetterman's way, correct? >> yeah, you need to know who the puppeteers are. the american people hire these people. these people work for the american people. if you don't know who the

puppeteers are, you don't know what's going on there. i served in congress. that's a 14-hour a day job. you have to think on your feet and think quickly. fetterman is not up to that since his stroke, he's had one interview. he can barely get through a debate. we haven't had the debate. it was a debate as to whether or not he could debate. the senate is supposed to be the most deliberative place on the place on the planet. and the bidens are doing a real disgrace. >> laura: tom, the polls in pennsylvania have tightened up significantly. you think this defense of fetterman that the attacks on him or the scrutiny as ablist or a bias against people with disabilities, will that work? >> i don't think so. i think his health is becoming an issue in this race. you know, as we get closer to election day. it's not a partisan republican

talking point. the pittsburgh post gazette, "washington post" and others have called for him to be transparent about his health issues. he was asked in the msnbc interview if he's been transparent and why he hasn't released his medical records. he said his doctors say i'm fine. so we have to take his word for it. why not put your doctors out to talk to him. they have not done that. that transparency issue is coming to bear in the final weeks of the campaign. >> laura: this is fetterman's wife again, gisele. this is in may on the kind of campaign that they expected and would run. watch. >> i think his argument has been about our experience, right? what he has accomplished, what he cares about and what he views. he's never been about attacking other opponents. it's been about his record and his vision for the state. that's what we'll continue to see. we believe in running kind, clean campaigns that focus on the issues and not on who our

opponents are. >> laura: mike, looking back on that, that seems like a preemptive comment to preempt any scrutiny of his condition after the stroke perhaps, but seems like she's the one that is the proxy candidate here at least in comments like that. >> it's amazing the same democrats that were fainting indignation about legitimate questions about a senate candidate's mental fitness when he wants to represent 13 million pennsylvanians were the first people to throw dianne feinstein overboard when she was set to become the senate judiciary committee first female chairman. dianne feinstein hit chuck schumer and dick durbin's glass ceiling. now they're pretenting like mental fitness for the job is not important. >> laura: i want to talk about

this ballot. republicans were up 4%. now the new rasmussen poll has that lead up to 7%. again, you can balance out the various polls. but at least in one account, it doubles in a week. what is this portending? >> well, people are focused on the issues. democrats really don't have a core issue to run on. they've had the house and senate in the presidency, implemented all of their projects. joe biden brags about the legislation that he passed. that's why we have record high inflation. the economy is souring. immigration is out of control. crime is getting worse by the day. all of these things are going to wrong direction. they don't have any policy that they can point to that they've been successful and they've had every lever of power. >> laura: tom, i want to move to the white house spin on the economy speaking of what jason just said. ron klain, the chief of staff, tweeted "i trust that meet i can't coverage of jamie dimon's

view of the economy will be extensive". then he quotes this. "consumers continue to spend with solid balance sheets and jobs are plentiful and businesses remain healthy." but left off of what jamie dimon said was the following. however, there's significant head winds in fronts of it's, high inflation leading to higher interest rates. he said similar things earlier. now, klain is misleading americans about the true state of this economy. why do they think that will work when it's a simple fact check, tom? >> because they have to. they're putting the best spin on the economy that they have. they can't -- biden did this earlier this week in an interview. he acknowledged a little bit of reality but said he doesn't believe we're in a recession and if we go in one, it will be a little bit. the economy inflation is the number 1 issue across the board for the vast majority of voters across the country. we had the final inflation reading before people go to

vote. it was 8.2%. it's the highest in four years. it's a drag on the democrats all across the country. the administration is trying to deflect and put the best spin on this they can. the problem is there is no good spin because the american people are seeing this in their daily lice when they fill up their tank and go to the grocery store. >> laura: mike, i think the phrase "inflation" is transitory is really going to be the one that comes back to bite these democrat candidates. maybe not in this election but going forward as well. given what 8.2%, just devastating for american families. >> this is destroying the budgets of american families. this is a biden tax hike with this inflation. the american people get to decide in three weeks, two weeks, whether they want to continue this destructive -- these destructive policies from president biden or put in a republican congress to put in a

critical check on this radicalism by president biden. >> laura: great to see you. have a great weekend. corporate america has been lining up left's pet issues for years. why it might be time to cut ties with big business for the gop. you bet it is. stay right there. you may be missing a critical piece. preservision. preservision areds 2 contains the only clinically proven nutrient formula recommended by the national eye institute to help reduce the risk of moderate to advanced amd progression. "preservision is backed by 20 years of clinical studies" "and its from the eye experts at bausch and lomb" so, ask your doctor about adding preservision. and fill in a missing piece of your plan. like i did with preservision"

>> laura: the gop could be headed for a long overdue divorce with corporate america. it's not hard to see why. the real trouble began after george floyd's death in 2020. while rioters were burning down the cities, corporations were swearing their allegiance to the movement responsible for it. >> companies like ours must speak up as allies to the black lives matter movement. >> i ended up joining the team about 5,000 people in milwaukee where we ended up marching to support black lives matter. >> we were on record in 2016 in support ago black lives matter. >> laura: then there was the georgia voter integrity law. reasonable revisions to that actually led to increased turnout. but those were deemed racist by stacey abrams and her friends. big corporate america, yeah, they were quick to follow her. >> this legislation is

unacceptable. it is a step backwards. >> trying to restrict voter's access to the polls and disproportionately hurting black and brown communities. >> this is about protecting the voices of our people. >> laura: after ron desantis signed that parental rights law, disney's ceo was happy to make common cause with liberal activists that lied about the bill. >> i called governor desantis this morning to express our disappointment and concern that if legislation becomes law, it could be used to unfairly target lay, lesbian and nonbinary and transgender kids and families. >> laura: after rowe was overturned sending the abortion issues back to the states. companies didn't marvel at federalism at work. people can figure it out for themselves. rather, they sought ways to help employees kill more babies. >> our employees have told us time and again that access to

reproductive healthcare is important to them. it's important to their families. it's important to them that help speak out on this issue and take a stand on this issue. >> laura: finally when they're not co opting every social piety to the left, they're looking to advance the green new deal. >> our job is to educate, inform, help people realize climate risk is over the long-term lu stakeholder capitalism and we'll see more and more money move rapidly. >> laura: what a bunch of crap. gop treasurers around the country have begun to poll now total around $1 billion from asset managing giant blackrock over the esg concerns, his big cause. gop congressional leaders like my next guest are pushing for and independent party free of corporate america strangle hold. joining me now, republican study

committee chair, jim banks and one of the state treasurers, curtis loftis that pulled money from blackrock. you were way ahead of this. what did you see that others took awhile to catch up on? >> a member of the general assembly gave me a homework project. he asked me to research this. i said sure. it was a rabbit hole i couldn't escape from. we started in 2016 or 17 we bid out the incestment services for our largest portfolio. that portfolio last night was about 41 billion. you can see it's a lot of money. blackrock, they're a fine investment firm. they were the top two that i utilized my exemption privileges not to choose blackrock. i can see where they were headed. it wasn't tenable for us. since then, the few remaining funds in blackrock, we removed them and now down to the last 200 million and that will be out by december. >> laura: i love this.

money talks. congressman, last month blackrock's ceo larry fink who we covered extensively on the angle, he talks about how high energy prices were actually a good thing. check this out. >> laura: >> because of the rising energy prices, we're certainly seeing the green premium shrink quite considerably. so the amount of investment dollars that are going into new decarbonization technology is accelerating. accelerating rapidly. >> laura: congressman, this is why you called on the gop to end this uncomfortable decades long union with big business. >> that's right, laura. the republican party is better off for it. as we divorce ourself from the corporate interests of wall street and put main street first, put regular ordinary working americans interests ahead of those wall street companies and hedge funds that will put chinese interests ahead

of american interests, the american people will vote for us, give us the majorities and give us back the white house. esg is a scam. it hurts americans. it's anti-american. it's pro china. the more the republicans can do to go after that scam, we get the majority back, the better off we'll all be. >> laura: congressman, even soap isn't safe from the leftist attacks. watch. >> sustainability backlash, this anti-woke backlash be is incredibly dangerous nor the world. the first thing that unilever will do is not back down on this agenda despite this populous accusations. >> laura: okay. so congressman banks, now, they don't want us to drive regular cars that we can drive anywhere we want and fill up and keep going. they don't want that. they don't want to us have gas appliances. because we can't do that. they will ban those. now apparently soap is

anti-sustainability? what? stinky. >> it keeps getting crazier and crazier. at the -- the bottom line of all of this, these hedge funds and corporations that are bracing esg are in cahoots with the biden administration to advance their social and climate agenda. house republicans have bills ready to go when we get the majority back that simply states that these hedge funds can only invest their money to maximize profits. if you pass a bill that says it will kill esg and that's where republicans are prepared to do i'm going to be leading the fight when we get there. hold us accountable to do that. >> laura: there might be some glimmer of hope. this week larry fink, again, the big guy pushing esg and the ceo of citi group both announced that they will not be attending next month's big climate summit in egypt. so what does that mean?

is that a sign that they're worried about the public pressure campaign that you and congressman banks and a lot of us are helping to launch? >> well, sadly i don't think they're too worried. i wish they were. the left is ten years ahead of us. they're moving past esg. we need to worry about esg. we need to fix the problem with esg but they're moving past that. esg as been a big hit for them. successful in changing the way governments and corporations act from state governments, local governments, all sorts. now they're looking at how they press further down. when states try to become active in economic development. they're using those wealthy companies to come to the states and say we need you for green infrastructure and guarantees that the staff that you'll send us is racially and minority appropriate. they're now getting to that level when they come to states. so we're effectively asking the

middle class who pays the tax bills to fund the richest people in the world in yet a different way. congressman is 100% right. it's a scam. it's about defeating the principles that this country was founding on. we can't accept that. we have to stop funding those that despise us and our way of life. >> laura: congressman and curtis, thank you both. this has to be priority number 1, 2 and 3 for the republicans when they take control. thank you so much. why did nancy pelosi have a film crew with her on january 6? who just got big birthday wishes from joe and jill? raymond arroyo has answers. friday follies is next. in my ozempic® tri-zone, i lowered my a1c, cv risk, and lost some weight. announcer: ozempic® provides powerful a1c reduction. in studies, the majority of people reached an a1c under 7 and maintained it. ozempic® lowers the risk of major cardiovascular events

>> the justice department appealing the appointment of a special master in the mar-a-largo document case. the independent arbiter appointed by a federal judge is reviewing documents seized in an fbi search in president trump's

florida estate. thousands of records including classified documents were takening down the august 8 search. the arbiter has been tasked with weeding out any documents that have been called presidential privilege. vladimir putin is facing disconnect over military setbacks and the callup to counter battlefield gains by the ukrainians. putin said he doesn't regret starting the conflict. i'm ashley strohmier. back to "the ingraham angle." "" >> laura: it's friday. that means it's time for friday follies. for that, we go to fox news contributor raymond arroyo. another week, another artistic treasure defiled by climate

activists, i see. >> laura, this time it's the national gallery in london. the target, van gogh's sunflowers. soup might be good food but always a bad protest. >> security! >> what is worth more? art or life? is it worth more than food? worth more than justice? are you more concerned about the protection of a painting or the protection of our planet and people? >> laura, how do you claim to protect and value nature when one of the most beautiful depictions of nature, van gogh's sun flaw flowers, you throw soup on. they should have to tape themselves to the dumpster at an emblem of whatnot to do.

this is a disgrace. protest all you want. you're not allowed to defile international treasures. i'm sorry. >> laura: let's be very blunt. these are criminals. they should be treated as such. also spoiled brats that think that this is their moment. if there weren't cameras around, they wouldn't have done it. this is tik tok meets the crime syndicate family. this time it's going after art. >> they won't be able to warm that soup soon. everything will dry up on them. the last thing they should be doing is no exploration and no further drilling, this is absurd. you'll be warming yourself i don't know whereby the sun. maybe the sunflower. as inflation spikes and oil dries up here at home and cops are being gunned down in our cities, the president, i want you to know, he's hard at work, doing the important stuff, laura. he's sill braceleting joy

behar's 80th birthday. >> happy birthday, joy. >> nobody is better than you. >> you speak your mind, speak your heart. you do it with warmth and humor. >> what? >> maybe he was watching another host, laura. >> excuse me, please. i want to talk about -- >> i'm not interested in your -- >> i don't care what you're interested in. i'm talking. >> i don't care -- >> we'll be right back. >> you miss fighting with me -- >> i did not miss you. >> somebody answer the question. >> ever since barbara walters left that show, the chemistry has been off because nobody could reign joy behar in. she was a funny pet on the side. now she's turned into a partisan attack dog. that's all she does every day. for joe biden to call that warm and humorous, i don't know what he's talking about. >> laura: raymond, the funny

thing is that was in a teleprompter. he couldn't come up with that. he actually had to have that in prompter. >> it begs a question, why is the president doing these little -- is he on cameo where you can order him up and send a video message? how does he have time to do a two-camera shoot with the first lady to be sent to joy behar when the world is exploding and inflation is through the roof? >> laura: last week he had time to talk a two-hour tour of the university of pennsylvania with his granddaughter. >> laura: nothing else to do. no. >> laura: when you have the biden center there for international and diplomatic outreach, i think they teach whatnot to do on the international scene there. finally, the january 6th committee, which remember, it's about getting to the roots of the violence that swamped the capitol on january 6th.

they're so excised about violence that they spent millions investigating this riot. the other day they aired this footage from the documentary film maker, al p lisandro pelos. it shows peaceful pelosi on january 6. >> i want to punch him out. i've been waiting for this. for trespassing on the capitol grounds. i want to punch him out and i'll go to jail and i'll be happy. >> i want to punch the president out. imagine if any other high-ranked dignitary officer of the of the go said this? pelosi is talking about the constitutional balance. you can't threaten with violence and go to violence every time people disagree with you? >> yes, they can.

they can say when trump makes an off-hand remark at a rally about someone getting punched by someone else, this is actually the speaker of the house saying she wants to physically punch someone as she claims violence is at a fever pitch because of republicans. really, sweetheart? >> mrs. pelosi january 6 and it could almost be a commentary on i'm going to punch him out routine. >> it shows the weakness of those that had to show through violence what their message was. >> you can say that again. this is a narrative, laura. she's trying to blame shift and claim the president is the fomenter of violence. the first instinct in private is i want to punch him out. i want to get him. i'll go to jail for it. that's a pretty outrageous admission, i thought. >> laura: raymond, great to see you. see you on the book tour. earlier this year, we brought you the story of a d.c. bar that

was shut down by all the covid tyrants. this happened for months and months. it cost the owner his life savings and his reputation. now he's fighting back. he's here and he's next with an exclusive. so stay there.

>> laura: earlier this year, we brought you the story of a

veteran owned bar in washington d.c. mayor bowser shut him down over covid violations costing the owner his life savings. now the bar is hitting back. fox's matt finn is here with the details. matt? >> that d.c. burger bar, the big board, became a nationwide symbol of resistance. the health department shut down the big board fining the owner and stripping the liquor lions for repeated violations. the burger bar garnered support from republican congress members and a go fund me raised $34,000. well, now the burger bar owner is suing d.c.'s department of health and its former director arguing d.c. mayor bowser violated the home rule act by enacting emergency executive public health orders without congressional review.

the lawsuit reads there's exceptions for emergency legislation and limited to 90 days. the complaint argues mayor bowser reinstated her public health orders for monthan two years. the owner previously told "the ingraham angle" that he's apolitical and explained why he was not forcing his staff to wear masks. >> doesn't make any sense. what i mean is with the mask mandate, if you're sitting where i am, you don't have to wear a mask. you can be eating and drinking. if you're sitting over here on the other side of this bar, you're the bartender suffering them, you have to wear your mask at all times. these bartenders and servers are not second class citizens. >> we reached out to mayor bowser's offers and we'll keep you updated. >> laura: matt, thank you. joining me now is eric flannery, owner of the big bore and his attorney. what made you decide to file

this lawsuit? >> it's a lawsuit for me and for everybody who is out there who has had their rights violated and stripped by government overreach over this time. it's really time that we hold our government officials to account. >> laura: how did it feel when this first really came down on you and your bar? as a entrepreneur a small business owner given everything you've done to get this going on the ground. >> it's crushing. you were there. every day somebody was coming in harassing you, telling you you have to do this. i was labelled as a threat when i never pose add risk. >> laura: what do you think about the posture of this case going after the d.c. government itself? >> d.c. has special law. the constitution designated that congress has the authority to regulate in the district of columbia. mayor bowser and the d.c.

council over two years did everything that they could to evade congressional review. then they did something even more. they locked the courthouse doors. they put a provision in that people like early injured by the rules were not permitted to go to court to challenge these provisions for over two years. it's outrageous, it's a violation of the constitution. i'm ever so pleased to be representing eric in court. >> laura: on january 27 of this year, mayor bowser was asked about this case in particular and this vax mandate. watch. >> i like the business to comply. we don't want to shut anybody down. we want to give people support, advice, supplies, help, whatever they need. >> laura: did you feel like you got a lot of love and help from mayor bowser? she wants to be emotional to your plight. >> absolutely not, laura. there's no way that d.c. was reasonable. like robert said, they stripped

me of my due process rights. i wasn't allowed to appeal the decision to anybody. you can't be that in the united states. lawmakers have to be held accountable for what they are. >> laura: in august, a judge struck down bowser's mandate for government workers to be vaccinated against covid. does that help you here? >> sure. you talk about getting lost on this. of course you did. because they passed over 16 different emergency orders. they passed over 15 separate d.c. council -- >> laura: is it still in effect? the emergency order in d.c.? >> there's some provisions -- >> laura: it's a never-ending emergency, by the way. >> no, no. and that of course is part of the problem. that goes to the fact, if it's a never-ending emergency. take the vaccine mandate. how much of an emergency was it? we live under the rule of law. they needed to comply with that basic rules of law even during a pandemic, especially during a

pandemic. we should be adhering to the rules and to the constitution. >> laura: how is business? >> we're showing signs of life. it was a long summer. we're showing signs of life. people are starting to come back out and having more fun. football season is here, hockey season is here. >> laura: we're coming. get ready. it's a rowdy bunch. eric, robert, good to see you. i think they're spoking something funkier than usual. we'll explain it on the last bite. and shows me how to get the most out of my workplace benefits. voya helps me feel like i've got it all under control. voya. well planned. well invested. well protected.

>> laura: rachel maddow's brother had an interesting story. >> they're going to sabotage the economy to retake the white house in 2024. >> laura: as if biden needed any help on the sabotaging the economy front. the desperation is so bad. it's so obvious. it's also ultimately good news for america. that means the right guys, we

hope, and gals will win. that's it for us tonight. be sure to tune in next week. we're going to talk to a cardiologist from the u.k. who has an important and disturbing message about the covid vaccine program. have a great weekend. count your blessings and fly your flag. it's america now and forever. greg gutfeld takes it all from here. >> greg: yep. [applause] happy friday, everybody! you look wonderful. i think. so how is life? i know you got inflation, you have crime. we're on the brink of nuclear war. thank got thes
