thank you for being with us, thank you for making the show possible. please set your dvr so you never, ever, ever, miss an episode of hannity. in the meantime let not your hearts be troubled. laura ingraham, the ingraham angle is next, we'll see you backs in new york tomorrow. ♪ >> laura: hey everyone, i'm laura ingraham, this is the ingraham angle from washington tonight. we have a lot to get to. and, first, red wave rising that is the focus of tonight's angle. have you checked this out, the bad news keeps rolling in for biden and the democrats. it's so sad, a new york times poll has trump edging biden 45-44 among likely voters. and that's the key metric. now, remember, this is even with biden's horror show economy, a one-point lead for the former

president is stunning. now, think of the near nonstop negative coverage trump's given by the regime media. so i'm thinking to myself today imagine if this poll looked like if the press were even a smidge fair. in other new york times polling data spells doom for the democrats as well. in the generic ballot republicans now hold a four-point lead over democrats, that's a five-point swing towards the gop since september. it's devastating. and perhaps most significant and there's a lot of significant stuff in this poll, the biggest shift came from women who identifyed as independent in september they favored democrats by 14 points, now independent women backed republicans by 18 points. i thought that was a typo but it's not. and on top of that, almost two-thirds of americans believe we're going in the wrong direction. 64%. now, at this point, i think it's

good to remember where things looked back in june and july after the court overturned rowe and liberals were really hopeful even predicting that the voters would turn away from the gop. >> when abortion rights are on the ballot, republicans are the party of extreme. >> democrats meantime hope the fight over abortion will take center stage during midterm elections later this year. >> republicans in white collar suburbs, abortion is a big part of that. it's helping democrats. >> i think dobbs decision is going to do more to get people out to vote. >> laura: really, claire? that's why you're a former. now, we didn't fall for any of that. voters have signaled that their number one concern is the economy and, well, wait, where does abortion fall? it's the eighth most important behind things like education, safety and supreme court appointments. and, yes, the angle was correct, today these are where the issues rank among likely voters.

the economy and inflation combined add up to about 44%. abortion, it's now down to 5%, it was 8% before. and despite the millions of dollars poured into campaign ads coast to coast accusing republicans of course of turning back the clock on women's healthcare, only 8% of likely democratic voters said abortion was their top concern. 8%. and with economic concerns weighing most heavily on the minds of voters ask which party do you think the voters think is better equipped at the money thing? well, republicans by a big margin. now, with the numbers looking this grim for the party of biden, pelosi and aoc, all of them combined, what can they do at this point to turn things around? well, they look for a rescue operation for the guy they still consider their only real president, and they hope he can help change the subject. >> they increasingly are willing to subvert basic democratic

procedures. right? like let's count votes. let's make sure that people are allowed to vote. let's make sure that whoever gets the most votes, has the most seats, and that if they get the most votes in congress, that you can pass laws. right? basic stuff like that they don't increasingly seem to believe and it's a reminder that democracy's fragile. you have to fight for it and this midterm election i think is going to be a moment in which, you know, that battle has to be joined. >> laura: oh, wait, is he over? my god he sounded like he was boring himself in that recitation. here's the problem for mr. martha's vineyard. hope and change is now hopeless and pocket change. and speaking of desperate, that brings us to... ♪ ♪ >> what do you think about the

inflation reduction act? >> and what republicans want to do is they want to repeal that very historic piece of legislation that is also going to lower energy costs. >> reps republicans are going to make things worse and democrats want to make things easier. >> laura: i think she's gotten better at reading. joining me is steven miller from first legal. the lies from kjp will any of this work given where the numbers are. that was shocking, 18% of likely independent women now swinging the other way to republicans. >> that new york times poll is just a hammer blow to democrats hopes in three weeks from now and the movement of women voters in particular, as you pointed out, i've never seen that much movement in so short a time. >> laura: into 18% plus for the gop. >> complete reversal.

what that tells me is that republican messaging on three core issues, crime immigration and inflation is bringing women voters into the gop tent which spells a death nail for the democratic party in three weeks from now. >> well, obama, back to him being back to the rescue, i will think he was trying to have kind of a sister solja light moment. let's watch this. >> not being a buzz kill, and sometimes democrats are. it's like, you know, sometimes people just want to not feel as if they are walking on egg shells, and they want some knowledgement that life is messy and that all of us at any given moment can, you know, say things the wrong way, you know, make mistakes. >> laura: talking about cancel culture there. he's a little rusty, little

meandering and little oblique reference to cancel culture. what does that get him? >> he a is clearly out of practice. i think what he's trying do is he knows that biden is in for a shellacking in just 22 days from now so i think he's trying to establish some distance between himself and the current democratic party brand. and to your core question, is any of this going to work, trotting out obama and kjp trying desperately to change the subject? it won't work because they have a reality problem. the border is open. crime is out of control, inflation is at a 40 year high. as long as republicans stay relentlessly on those points, they will win. >> laura: kjp was also asked about why candidates aren't wild about the prospect of campaigning with joe biden? >> the president has been traveling nonstop and he's going to continue to be on the road nonstop. he's going to go where he is needed the most, and at this time we're not -- we don't have

just any additional, we don't have any additional travel to lay out for you. >> laura: that was real reading time with kjp. it's embarrassing at this point. he's kryptonite. >> you would think by now, a theater term, she would be offbook. it's astonishing months into the job she can't answerle a simple question without looking down for what her intern prepared for her. the fact they don't have an answer to that question which they know is coming is a white house in complete today rate. >> laura: i didn't think i would ever say this but i miss jen psaki. all right steven thank you. >> thank you. >> laura: when will new england decide to save itself when states like maine, rhode island, connecticut finally get fed up with high taxes, low growth, rising crime? when they finally kick the democrat dinosaurs into the amber. well, then, when that happens, we'll see how populism is really taking hold. well, i was in connecticut over

the weekend i have more on that later, for my high school reunion. i spent a lot of time talking to folks on the ground there. a lot of people seem really fed up and were both sad and mad at what happened to the state we all grew up in. and i sense the democrats who once thought that they were untouchable in the state, talking about elected officials, may be starting to sweat it. republicans are actually spending money in these races across the region. kevin mccarthy aligned pac is spending 23 million on adds in eight democratic held districts that biden carried by double digits in new england. some interesting nuggets, in connect's fifth congressional district where biden won by 11, republican is demonstrating broad bipartisan appeal according to axios and in rhode island's second where he won by 14 a new poll has republican allen leading the democrat by eight points. so how bad are things in new england? well, in new hampshire, where

liberal senator maggie hatson is running away from any debates, it's fentanyl and the economy that's killing them. >> there is a drug problem around here. i mean, there is a a lot of that that goes on but that's because there's not a lot going on around here. there's not a lot of work around here, there's not a lot of jobs around here. >> laura: thank you globalization. in massachusetts and rhode island, some folks will be choosing between food or heat this winter. >> we're seeing electricity prices rise in new england. we've seen electricity prices go up increase over 64% in massachusetts and rhode island. >> laura: in maine, things are no better. >> we always hear from our struggling neighbors, friends and family members about winter and how hard it is, specifically older maineers that we've not heard concern like we are hearing this year and what we're hearing is we don't know how we're going to make it, we simply can't afford these costs. >> laura: it's infuriating. in connecticut crime is out of

control. flags were at half staff this weekend after three police officers were ambushed, two are dead, more than 80 rounds were fired at them from behind. >> it was multiple rounds, and it was like war zone, and then next thing you knew there were sirens flying everywhere and it was just scary. it was actually scary. because we don't get this. we don't have this. this is a quiet neighborhood. >> laura: not anymore, no one is safe. no one der the state's incumbent democrat senator ned no answers lamont is in a tight race with republican bob steph noneski. you've done this forever. and one who wants to lead the charge is trying to unseat the sent ja manner blew men you that. a new poll has her only down by five points. i felt the fear building over the weekend in the state, people

are scared. so my question is what have democrats done for connecticut lately? >> well, all the democrats have done for connecticut lately is to make life unaffordable, to make life feel unsafe, crime has risen. to make connecticut a border state by flying illegals to west chester county airport and to tweed airport bringing fentanyl and human trafficking and all the other things. that's what the democrats have done for us here. and the people of connecticut are ready for change. i am so happy to hear you were in glass ton bury, i was there yesterday at the apple festival. >> laura: oh, i was there. >> you were there? >> laura: yeah. i can't believe i missed you. >> what a bummer. >> laura: should have coordinated. it's a great state. this is actually a wonderful state. if people haven't spent time in new england, kind of write it off, ohs, those liberals, it's

beautiful, great people. we have to have a mantra, no state left behind. there's no reason connecticut has to be in this situation, none at all. >> that's right. life does not have to be this way. we can change. it can feel normal again. we're not asking for extravagances, we just want to be able to feed our kids, heat our homes, go to work with a full tank of gas and not think twice about it. that is not too much to ask and we can change. it's time to change and i'm the woman that's going to bring change to conduct cut. >> laura: leore you're so courageous and brave to be doing what you're doing but you have big money on the other side senator richard bloomen you that who was expressing frustration at saudi arabia for not bailing out the democrats on the high gas prices. watch this. >> humongous blunder by the saudis that is against their own self interest as well as the

threat to the global economy, the danger of rising oil prices to american consumers at the pump. it harms americans and i think that the administration more than any of us is well aware of these practical consequences. >> leora if there ever was a worthless u.s. senator richard blumenthal is he. it disgusts me to hear him say that, given our energy glut that we have in this country and what we've done to our own people. connecticut just for that they should vote against him, just for that comment. >> i agree with you. and i want to remind people, he's the senator who voted for the jcpoa, the last iran agreement, and he will do it again. he is threatening the saudis by saying what he said. and, by the way, he only wanted for them to delay their reduction in proceed tucks by one month so he could win the election. he doesn't care about the people

of connecticut, but i do. i want to rehe invigorate american energy production so we can bring those prices down again permanently. and i would love people to go to my web site leorafor ct.com to learn more about the policies i'll be promoteing laura: ms. levy we need a female connecticut senator conservative with smart solutions, this is about common sense good luck. >> thank you. >> laura: everyone in connecticut get out and vote and change. and now if republicans win in parts of the country where democrats once ruled, it's going to largely be due to the dramatic shift to the right by latinos who are fed up with the cost of living, they're fed up with crime, and a radicalized school psychiatric hum we haven't talked about that yet. the new york times own reporting is many supporting the gop on the most important issues facing the country are those exact issues. a focus group xiefd of hispanics across texas florida and arizona showed that they thought

republicans were stronger on a variety of issues, such as crime, safety, gun control, national security, immigration and the economy. now, larger polls have also showed a significant shift rightward. according to the executive director of the national association of latino elected and appointed officials, five weeks into our tracking poll it's becoming clear republicans have gained significant ground with latino voters since the last midterm cycle. so why is this happening. >> the fact of the matter is that we, you know, we don't feel safe anymore. >> at times like these, it's really economic concerns that take priority. and that's what you're seeing is the hispanic community is dealing with, you know, high interest rates, energy costs, record high inflation and historically it's been the republican party that focuses on those economic issues. >> i identify more with the republican party. >> what things?

>> well, we're for god, country, family, and hard work. >> laura: joining me now is florida congresswoman maria salazar. congresswoman great to see you tonight. latino voters, they don't need pandering from democrats, because it seems like from everything i've read and all the surveys done, they care about the same things that everyone else does. >> of course. thank you for having me. we're not martians, we're americans. and this year is going to be, 2020's going to be the year of the hispanic republicans. thank god for that, we're waking up. and why is that? because we have the same values that are entrenched in the republican party, god fearing, law abiding, tax paying, low taxes, small government and family oriented. that's what we are. and thank god that we are waking up to the fact that for 30 years, the democratic party has been playing political football

with us. and you know why i can say it? because before getting to congress, i was on television, i'm one of the founders of spanish television, downvision and telemundo and those are my viewers and i know my community does not want open borders, we want to have an orderly border. we want to have low inflation. we want to be able to raids our kids, live in dignity, which is the bill that i presented, the immigration reform bill, and we want to live in the promise land and contribute with the economy. so it's time for us to wake up and thank god we're doing it, and the gop is welcoming us. and i am the best example. in 2020, i was the biggest upset in the country because my people are not socialists. >> laura: no, i love that. we covered it at the time, it was awesome because there was a lot of bad news in 2020, too. but your opponent congresswoman

went on al sharpton's show over the weekend and, surprise, to attack you. watch. >> my republican opponent is definitely out of step with our district. in miami, politicians love to talk about freedom and cuba nicaragua, venezuela. we understand that freedom in those countries means that we have to defend democracy right here in america and that's what my opponent has done. >> laura: congresswoman they care about freedom and the preservation of american standards and dignity after what they put us through over the past few years? >> listen, the problem with my opponents is that, not only her but the whole democratic party, is that they have to defend the undefendable. they have to defend something called democratic socialism. and that's why i was able to win in 2020 against one of the bastians of the democratic party the longest serving member of the clinton administration, mrs. donna shalala.

she was the president of the clinton foundation and i was able to unseat her. it was the only district in the country where biden won the district and the democratic incumbent was unseated. why? because we hispanics, we're not socialists and we are understanding. >> laura: congresswoman, we have to run, but i am so excited about this trend, i'm so excited across the country what we're seeing. it's a common sense latino movement, and it's a beautiful thing to see. thank you so much. >> and president xi is locked in a lifetime of coronation of himself in china. secretary mike pompeo is here on how he's going to use that to further turn against the united states. plus how the green iacs spent the last few years making our climate worse. michael shellenberger has more on that next. stay there.

she shinning pinning began the coronation that will launch a third and likely lifetime term. it took an event this level for the media to wake up to the reality of what this all could mean. the new york times admitting a decade ago many prominent hoped he would usher in openness and reform. today many believe he created a to tear tarn estate. and it all but carne fees an era of confrontation with the united states. it's not just the american media waking up something is happening inside china we haven't seen in decades. protesters are making bold criticisms of xi. go on strike at school and work remove national dictator and traitor another reading we want food not pcr we want freedoms not lockdowns. we want reform not a cultural

you talked about president clinton, sold america out so they can build in china and dump it in the united states. they've been at economic war with the united states for an awfully long time time for the united states to get serious. glad some of the bigger leftist populations are taking this seriously. those of us watching china the past few years has seen this coming and we know what we must do. >> laura: they were saying few expect it, i was like not that few some of us saw this happening. >> yeah, just a bill -- 1.2 billion. >> laura: exactly. other parts of the journal really struck me today, because they're reporting that the biden administration is doubling down on its recognition of china as america's main competitor. what administration officials haven't said, however, is that the u.s. is not fully prepared to fight a major war against china. i've been saying this for some time mr. secretary, our munitions are greatly dimitried because of what we sent to

beening why. your response tonight. >> the wall street journal identified something we were working on in the trump administration, think of it more broadly as the defense industrial base, the capacity to make simple and high end weapons and munitions to build our navy, trump increased our budgets but we have to make sure we have all the tools for when the day comes, chinese confrontation comes, or more likely when they threaten us and try to use that as leverage we're prepared to engage them in a serious way. it's not as big a gap as the wall street journal suggested but make no mistake, xi jinping as he gives these speeches has been talking about building out his technology space and cyber program in ways the united states and more broadly the west must match. >> laura: mr. secretary wonderful to see you tonight. thank you >> i really hope china will decide, sometime in the next days that it's worth coming back to this because we owe it to

human kind. they suspended. they didn't terminate. >> when you say back channel outreach, are you texting? >> i have -- >> are you? >> i have e-mailed. >> okay. >> but he's not allowed to answer me, and it's very complicated. >> laura: what server is that one on. the pipe dream that is china's cooperation over climate is matched only by that of the larger greeniac vision. and more, it turns out that they are the authorizes of the destruction they warn about as our next guest michael shellenberger points out apocalyptic greens are in the grips of a bad religion. even carbon emissions globally were going down until climate activists repressed natural gas and increased coal use. joining me is michael shell burger author of apocalypse

never. thanks for joining me tonight. you say behind this push is the ever greater demand for ultimately social control, movement, free expression of people all around the world. explain that. >> well, that's right. i mean, obviously if they really cared about climate change they would be in favor of nuclear power and natural gas. natural gas is the main reason u.s. carbon emissions declined more than they've ever declined anywhere in the world between 2005 and 2020. 22% decline in america's carbon emissions basically because of the fracking revolution, making gas so cheap and replacing coal. but because climate activists have so attacked the natural gas and oil industry reducing overall investment in the sector by half has is the biggest year for coal, it's a big career for coal because climate activists have repressed cleaner fuel. >> laura: you'll never believe what gavin newsome is basing on

high energy surprise prices watch. >> gas prices have increased by a record $0.84 per gallon in just over one week. that's a $2.50 difference compared to u.s. prices. doesn't add up and oil companies provide no explanation. the fact is, they're ripping you off. their record profits are coming at your expense. >> laura: michael, your response to that tedious video of him. >> this is a ridiculous -- this is a ridiculous conspiracy theory. the states own energy experts and economists have study why we have more expensive gasoline and there's basically three reasons. we have a slightly different blend of gasoline, the second maybe the biggest is we haven't built enough oil refineries and the third is because we repress oil production in our own state. the reason gasoline prices are higher is because of gavin newsome and the policies of his party. i mean this is a crazy conspiracy theory a judge just

issued a hundred page ruling in south dakota a couple weeks ago after investing this, there is no price fixing, a serious crime for price fixing, it's heavily investigated, it's not happening. this is gas lighting by the governor to protect the policies he put and kept in place and are the cause of our high gasoline prices here. >> laura: michael just breaking is that biden will announce another 10-15 million barrels of oil from the nation's emergency stockpile, clearly in a bid to try to keep gas prices climbing obviously before the election. i mean, this is now a matter of our national security destroying our stock piles. >> we're the biggest oil and gas producer in the world. we should be unleasher our gas but biden has leased fewer acres of public land and of offshore waters for oil and gas drilling than any president since world war ii. it's insane. he's waging war on the oil and

gas industry in the united states while begging the saudis and venezuelans to produce more oil draining our strategic petroleum reserve. it's not just -- it's humiliating what occurred because opec rejected his pleas to increase production but also dangerous, we've pushed the saudis closer to the russians and the chinese. >> laura: this is a nightmare. >> total nightmare. >> laura: thank you so much for your honest reporting on this and what this means. he's declaring war on the american family as well >> now serial killers are back in vogue but could the trend be leading to dangerous ends. a congressional candidate bears more for votes, raymond arroyo has it all, all the grizzly r but eventually, it will remind you. when it does, aspen dental is here for you. we offer the custom dental treatments you need, all under one roof, right nearby. so we can bring more life to your smile...

tv show hannibal, visual how to for psychopaths. >> laura: and you. >> what did i do? i never did a serial killer show. >> laura: no, you on netflix. >> i'm not on netflix. >> laura: no, the show you. >> neither me or show me have ever done serial killers. >> laura: you don't understand. this is on topic. never mind. tell us about this morning consult poll. >> this is very concerning a new poll shows two-thirds of adults say they are fans of serial killer movies or shows and 80% of millennials. now, laura, the problem with this is, you know, you spend enough time marinating in this material, and it not only normalizes very graphic and really the most disgusting actions of one human to another, but it builds sympathy for these serial killers and that to me is

a major problem. normalizing the behavior and the sympathy. >> laura: i remember i watched that helter skelter movie as a kid and i think i had nightmares for months after that. i think i still have nightmares it was horrible. but, yeah, this is what we do marinate in now. >> i agree. >> laura: as long as we're talking about sick films a congressional candidate in new york is starring in a new one ray. >> none we'll want to see, talk about helter skelter. his name is mike ikis, an independent trying to unseat jerry nadler. that may be difficult to unseat jerry nadler. to show how committed he is to sex positivity as an agenda he's appearing in a porn film called bucket list bonanza. basically he supports legalizing prostitution and abortion on demand. he says, if i would just talk about it, it wouldn't demonstrate my commitment to the issue, and the fact that i actually did it was a huge learning experience and it

actually influenced items on my platform. perhaps he now supports std coverage. >> laura: wait, wait, wait. items -- i don't even want to think about what the items are on his agenda at this point. it should be ikis. >> thank god he doesn't support euthanasia or the death penalty this could have gotten really gorey >> this weekend saw some pretty spooky on camera moments laura. like any horror move have you they occur in the most pedestrian of places like this ice cream parlor where president biden stopped on a west coast swing. he casually chatted up a lady and then, then he leaned in and he went in for the sniff. it never fails. watch this. >> laura: again. >> oh, there he goes. >> laura: oh, another. he did two sniffs. raymond, that was two sniffs in one stop. i mean, usually you go into an ice cream place in shady glen in manchester connecticut over the

weekend and you want a mint chip cone but he just wants the sniff. hold the cone hold the ice cream go for the sniff. his travels now contain real suspense too like when he cornered this young girl. you know he wants to, you know, another sniff. >> viewers tense up when they watch this and he goes in but then doesn't do it. more victims await no doubt during his next outing. there should be a bubble zone around any young woman and joe biden just so he doesn't sniff them without their consent. >> laura: you need one of those clear umbrellas from the 70s, take one and walk around. where are you on book store? >> i'm at the reagan library tomorrow night and then in la at the grove on wednesday. so i hope everybody will come out, raymond arroyo.com, all the details are there. and laura you helped make this book number one among christmas releases, all weekend.

larson. it seems like this kind of victim hood mentality chip on the shoulder, whatever is, kind of stuck with him, didn't it? >> a little bit. certainly yesterday during that race his actions were inappropriate. it will be very interesting whether this apology satisfies nascar. bubba should be suspended here. but i do give him credit, and i was surprised that he did apologize because after he ran him off the road and nearly could have caused a tragedy on that track, look, i don't think racers were shocked by that. we've seen people retaliate on the track. but then to carry it on afterwards and try and confront this guy and have a fight and then his post race comments defending his actions were reprehensible and inexcusable. i think nascar has to suspend this guy for at least a week but

they'll probably deal with him with kid gloves for fear the race card will be played on them but i don't want to discard him apologizing for his behavior. >> laura: people that watch nascar and see these crash, how do you even survive them going this fast but this could have ended up in a death or multiple deaths, right? we keep showing it. it's shocking. >> it's really dangerous. it's not uncommon. these guys get charged up and have quick tempers and retaliate on the track. when you listen to kyle larson he was basically saying hey look, i've seen it. i've done it. it's not uncommon. it is unsafe. there's a lot of conversation in nascar about head injuries and concussion and safety and, you know, death is a possibility. and so there's been a lot of emphasis on that and for bubba to do this is just stupid. and then, you know, after the

race he claimed that he lost control of his steering wheel. that's a joke. he clearly retaliated here. but to not come to his senses and then challenge this man to a fight and then to not name him in his apology, you're on solid ground there, laura, it's a mistake. but i'm just saying, my expectations were so low, i didn't expect him to make any sort of apology. and so i'm going to give him credit, someone's talked some sense into him because i think his sponsors and everybody else watching this like, hey, man, somebody could get hurt and if someone had gotten hurt, your career would be over. >> laura: jason, i have to ask you, i wasn't going to ask you about this but i have to ask about the bama game over the weekend against tennessee. you know, i'm an alabama fan, tennessee congratulations. that was the wildest football game that i can remember seeing in a long time, 49-49 with two seconds left.

of course tennessee ends up kicking the field goal but the story of that game is going to go down for a long time. >> it's one of the greatest moments. i live here in nashville, laura, and so it's one of the greatest moments in tennessee history certainly over the last 20 years. it's a game that i don't think anybody that was there will ever forget. 100,000 people, looked like about 70,000 charged the field afterwards. it's a great moment for tennessee, a great reminder of how compelling football can be, particularly when you remove all the politics and you can just enjoy the game, college football's a great game. >> laura: you bet. it was not the outcome i wanted but i have to hand it to tennessee, unbelievable. jason, thank you >> and coming up my high school reunion high jinx. a reunion within a reyour on. stay there.
