tv The Ingraham Angle FOX News February 1, 2023 7:00pm-8:00pm PST
7:00 pm
>> no way you a dog. you're my fave. >> sean: but you gave me a doctor, a lower grade than the first time. >> well, sean, you want me to be honest. [laughter]. >> i mean your delivery's very good. >> sean: all right, thank you velma. we appreciate you. let not your heart be troubled. laura's next. see you tomorrow night >> laura: i'm laura ingraham and this is the ingraham angle from washington tonight and we begin with breaking news on a story this show has brought you from the start. exactly one year ago, the grand forks north dakota city council gave initial approval for a chinese company named fu fang to build a wet corn milling plant just miles from a u.s. air force base. we raised serious concerns throughout last year and we spoke with local residents. >> when you contact the city council, beth, and i know people have, what do they say? what's their response?
7:01 pm
>> they say that there's no national security concern. they've told us that they have properly vetted the fufeng corporation and see no problem with it which simply isn't true. >> laura: just two months ago we again soundedd the alarm after the committee on foreign assessment said it didn't have jurisdiction to block this mills construction. >> let me put this bluntly, the committee that congressman dated and gave the authority to protect america's national security is allowing a chinese business with ties to beijing, that means the ccp, to operate mere miles from an american military installation. where's general austin? how about milley? >> well, tonight after months of pressure, the ap is reporting just hours ago that the u.s. air force has now told north dakota leaders that fufeng's plans do pose a significant threat to national security prompting city
7:02 pm
officials to say they'll move to stop the project once and for all. we're going to continue to monitor this story and highlight other legitimate concerns about the selling off of america to the ccp. but now, exposing themselves. that's the focus of tonight's angle. ♪ >> the left is on kind of a sick and self loathing search and destroy mission. they're fanatical foot soldiers, hard at work undermining institution and ideals that were once considered indispensable for a healthy, strong america. from college campuses, to corporate board rooms, from news rooms to the nuclear family. the left picks key targets for influence and infiltration. because they hate tradition and normalcy they know they need to flatten what came before and remake it in their own twisted image. >> existential risk of covid,
7:03 pm
the racial inequalities that we've witnessed. we're going to see an accelerated attitude towards these issues. >> our laws should move away from the issue there's one ideal family form. polyamorous who might be in a relationship with three or four. >> opting to work less, countries are choosing not to expand production to its max, there by avoiding additional emissions. >> we are five days away from fundamentally transforming the united states of america. >> laura: you bet. after the left helped get obama elected in 2008, the once great and respected democrat party was hooked. the left's agenda became the democrats agenda from climate change to crt, from transgenderism to toking in the streets. and fast forward to present day. how's it all working out? are college grads better writers? better thirst than they were let's say 40 years ago.
7:04 pm
do they feel free to speak their minds? well, some do. >> say it loud, say it clear. >> i'm worry that this might like impact funding for left wing organizations. >> laura: brilliant. >> bottom line requires factoring in of not just the material and construction costs but also the architect's fees and the costs of land services. >> oh, you left out a bunch of stuff. >> oh, really? like what, for instance? >> well, first of all, you're going to have to agrees the local politicians for the sudden zoning promise that come up and if you're planning on using cement i'm sure the teamsters would like to have a chat with you and that will cost you. >> that will be quite enough mr. melon. >> laura: if only today's radicals were as mart as rodney. at our toppin substitutions of higher learning, sis row and ar
7:05 pm
stottle are out and can heed any and nikole hannah-jones, they're in. so much so that suni just announced it's making a course in racial equity mandatory for graduation. because the left knows that objective merit hurts their own dim wits they work in overtime to kill standardized tests. of course standardized tests are ripe with cultural and racial bias. >> it's a poor measure an unfair measure and the sat and act need to be eliminated. >> why are we using standardized tests at all? because the goal of these tests was never education, it was always exclusion. >> laura: and even when we're long past covid, a lot of colleges have complied. but it gets worse. now the left wants to normalize cheating. in an op-ed a princeton student named emily santos recently
7:06 pm
called for the dismantling of the honor code system claiming it's a barrier to social mobility and a more equitable society. now she likened prince tons rules of academic dishonesty to our criminal justice system which of course professors across america including at princeton have branded as racist. >> there are many causes for the racial disparities in our criminal justice system from arrest through sentencing by police officers, there are also a lot of race neutral factors that prosecutors in particular take into account that can have racial results. >> laura: do you think any of these people pause to consider where this attack on merit and standards ultimately leads? well, when it even affects our healthcare system, the consequences can be deadly. and i mean literally. it turns out that med schools are imposing a sprawling diversity equity inclusion agenda that ins late certain groups from accountability.
7:07 pm
from the admissions process to residency programs, standards have been compromised and the results are unfair and downright dangerous. let's think about it this way. do you want your cardiologist to be objectively well trained? or do you prefer someone who graduates from med school under lowered standards because they check a box? it is it's gotten so bad at yale university that the more wrong you are about key medical issues, the better your chances at landing a plum position. meet the new dean of the yale school of public health. she checked three boxes. she's a woman, she's a liberal, and she unapologetically parroted big pharma's nonsense. >> there's ample evidence that universal masking decreases infection rates by somewhere between 60 and 90%. >> we know that the durability of those antibodies from natural infection is not strong. >> once we can get vaccines in the arms of little kids we'll
7:08 pm
see that number of hospitalizations from zero to four year olds drop. >> laura: zero to four year olds. natural immunity doesn't work. wrong, wrong, wrong. the woman's either a complete dolt or she's playing one for the promotion and status. but again, to the left nothing is sack row sank. they don't care if your education is compromised and your kid can't read and write and they don't care if your health is compromised as long as it means more power for them. no wonder the public has lost so much faith in the healthcare industry. the hippocratic oath has been replaced by a hyper political one. of course the left could do none of this without the help of the media, whose own credibility, well, that's shot and again totally self-inflicted this week former washington post big wig len downey finally admitted what we've been saying for ages. increasingly reporters, editors and media critics argue that the concept of journalistic
7:09 pm
objectivity, he writes, is a distortion of realities. they point out that the standard was dictated over decades by male editors in predominately white news rooms. of course, just like sats, acts, mcats, honor codes are all racist. so is the word objective in news rooms. he continues, reporters and editors believe that pursuing objectivity can lead to false balance or misleading both sidesism and covering stories about race, the treatment of women, lgbtq plus rights equality and climate change. now what's key here is they have already concluded there is no room for debate on any of those issues i just mentioned. because that would compromise the modern left's orthodoxy. zero debate. zero decent. so do you see the pattern here? it's just like during covid. and just like in college classrooms, emotions and
7:10 pm
identity, not facts, rule the day. reporters making themselves the stories. did peter jennings ever do that? i don't remember it. let's face it, it might have sounded harsh at the time but trump was right when he called them fake news. >> all the attacks of fake news, the idea that there's some kind of a conspiracy brewing within places like the new york times or the washington post. what i found was extraordinary care. >> it's very, very troubling and very dangerous. >> the once that president trump calls out as fake news, we're the ones getting it right. >> laura: are you, max? wasn't the media wrong about the mueller investigation? wasn't trump supposed to be in jail by now? weren't the russians supposed to be defeated by now in ukraine? and wasn't everyone machine florida and georgia supposed to be dead of covid? remember they said that inflation was temporary? in response to the siren songs of the hard left, even main stream liberal organizations are
7:11 pm
giving up any claim to truth or objectivity in the hopes that they can cling to power. but, of course, the more obvious their biases become, the less americans trust them and the more power will flow away from them and toward a rising populous movement that prizes accuracy over ideology. and that's the angle. joining me now is miranda devine, columnist at the new york post, fox news contributor, author of the laptop from hell. miranda, your response to the media's decision to essentially throw up their hands and say, we never claimed to be objective. that's not our goal here. >> well, i mean, it's absurd. it is true that they haven't been objective for quite a long time. as soon as donald trump came on the scene, they gave it up. but, you know, journalism used to be about following the story wherever it would go, and what
7:12 pm
they've done is they've, you know, used the tools of journalism which were supposed to ferret out the truth and they've turned them into weapons to crush descent. they have a pre ordained narrative and now they don't follow the story they just shape the facts to fill that narrative. and it's so destructive. the fourth estate has always had special privileges, special access to the people in power. and we were supposed to be one of the checks on power. but now, what's happened is that various of these very powerful media organizations, these big corporate media organizations like the new york times and jeff base 0's washington post for instance, cny, cbs, they've just become part of the power structure. they're there totally perverting
7:13 pm
what journalism is all about. they don't actually commit journalism. >> laura: doesn't this explain their approach to the mueller investigation? to the laptop from hell? your whole book was devoted to this. they couldn't let themself believe russian collusion wasn't true or hunter biden story was real. because to do so, the finger would be pointing back at them and they can't do that. isn't that what's going on here? >> it is, laura, and the columbia journalism review, which is certainly not a conservative rag, this week very good and very detailed long 4-part piece went into great detail and excoriated the new york times in particular for running the russia hoax, bob woodward is quoted saying he tried to tell people it wasn't true. all these media outlets just continued on with it because it
7:14 pm
was too good a story to give up on it. fitted so beautifully into their narrative that basically donald trump was an extensional threat and he had to be gotten rid of by hook or by crook. and that's what they did for the entire four years basically in cahoots with the intelligence community crippled his administration. and now we're left with a public that just has no faith in the media anymore. so i don't really see how we can come back from this. >> laura: now, miranda we have some breaking news tonight. the washington post is reporting that hunter biden's lawyers sent a series of blistering letters wednesday to state and federal prosecutors urging criminal investigations into those who accessed and disseminated his personal data. so i guess that means the guy who fixed the laptop. why is he going after people who disseminated the laptop information if it was all
7:15 pm
russian disinfo. >> that's the point. basically hunter biden through his lawyers has admitted that yes the laptop is his, it's not russian disinformation as those 51 dishonest intelligence officials told us. it's his laptop which we've been telling people for more than two years. and finally they've admitted it with this kind of ridiculous attempt to go on the offensive. i think john paul who i spoke to this afternoon for our story tomorrow put it best. he said, when you're over the target, the flack becomes even heavier. and so i think that there's panic in the biden camp. >> laura: and, miranda, we really appreciate it. thanks so much >> now on to a dramatic and gruesome story out of south carolina. the double murder trial of alex murdaugh, a once prominent attorney accused of killing his wife and his youngest son in june of 2021. now the elder murdaugh had a sorted past facing dozens of
7:16 pm
other charges including money laundering and alleged theft of $8.5 million from clients at his law firm. prosecutors have argued that these murders were tied to those financial crimes but they've had a tough time establishing a motive beyond his just calius response to the deaths when police actually arrived. >> you're going to see body worn camera of his at the scene when law enforcement arrives. watch his expressions. listen to what he's saying. listen to what he's not saying. use that common sense. does this seem right? or does something seem a little off. >> laura: well, for its part the defense led by famed south carolina power player dick, they allege multiple holes in the prosecution's case including how seemingly close murdaugh was to the deceased as well as the fact he had no blood on him when the police arrived. >> did you see what appeared to be blood on alex murdaugh's
7:17 pm
hands. >> no. >> on his arm. >> no. >> on his shirt. >> none. >> on his shorts. >> no. >> on his shoes. >> i did not. >> how would you describe his hands? >> they were clean. clean. >> how would you describe his arms? >> they were clean. >> how would you describe his t-shirt? >> clean. >> how would you describe his shorts? >> clean. >> how would you describe his shoes? >> they were clean. >> laura: and the latest twist in the case has to do with the cell phone evidence that both sides believes helps their case. for those details, we go to fox news correspondent jonathan who has been inside the trial since it began. jonathan? >> prosecutors say cell phone evidence places alek murdaugh at the scene of the crime. the defendant openly went as the court watched a video from his son paul's iphone showing the family kennel just minutes before he and his mother maggie were fatally shot. >> he's got a bird in his mouth.
7:18 pm
>> hey, bubba. >> prosecutors asked a family friend to identify the three voices you hear on the video. >> do you recognize paul's voice? >> yes, sir. >> do you recognize maggie's voice. >> yes, sir. >> do you recognize alek's voice. >> yes, sir. >> hundred percent? >> yes, sir. >> can you point out alek murdaugh, the person whose voice you recognize in this video in this courtroom, please. >> sitting here in the gray jacket. >> please let the report reflect he identified the defendant. >> investigators believe maggie and paul died around 8:50 p.m. when they stopped responding to phone calls and texts but maggie's phone continued to record movement suggesting another person carried the device from the location half a mile from the family home where investigators found it the next day. however, the motion that was recorded on maggie's phone occurred at a different time than motion recorded on the defendant's phone. laura? >> laura: jonathan, thank you so much.
7:19 pm
>> and, remember, do not forget, set your dvr every night 10:00 p.m. so you never miss us. you want to do that. otherwise you end up stories about what's coming up next. armed with their new majority house republicans took aim something the angle warned about nearly three years ago. oversight committee chair james comer joins us. and why is the just is the department allowing biden's personal attorneys? we're going to discuss it next.

7:25 pm
9.2 million in covid relief fraud and an owner of a blimp company just got five and a half years for stealing eight million in covid aid. joining me now is that man to ran today's hearing, house oversight committee chair james comer. now, congressman, again, more than five trillion in covid aid was, you know, ear marked for people who were really in need. how big do you think this fraud will actually total up to in the end? >> it will exceed 20%. so we're talking over a trillion dollars. it could be more. this pandemic spending will go down in history as the biggest theft of american tax dollars ever. it's a disgrace. there are very few people who are actually trying to measure the extent of the fraud. we're starting today. you know, in the new republican majority the first hearing of
7:26 pm
the oversight committee was dedicated to waste fraud and abuse. over the past two years, the democrats have not had a single hearing in the oversight committee which is supposed to be in charge of waste fraud and abuse over pandemic fraud. not a single hearing. >> laura: i know the feds are are now saying okay republicans you need to look into this. but when i was reading this report in the washington post that's exactly what i thought. what have you been doing the past two years? they say 36 billion was small business programs, that was gone. 60 billion in potential fraud for unemployment insurance claims? i mean, this is just the beginning of what we're seeing. but i have to he will the you, james cliburn on msnbc had a few thoughts on all your investigations. >> i they there are very, very unnecessary. they are really a waste of time. >> we saw that time and time again when they were in power before, and i think that will be the end result this time as well. but then a lot of money will
7:27 pm
have been spent and wasted, and a lot of time, when we could be devoted to improving people's lives. >> laura: oh, really? was he concerned about the mueller investigation? all the ridiculous impeachment hearings and everything else that was done to harass president trump? i don't think so. >> he's symbolic of the washington democrats. they don't care about how much money they waste. all they care about is spending more money. and he's been in leadership for the past four years during all of this waste, fraud and abuse with respect to pandemic spending. and never bothered to really dive into the situation to try to stop it, to try to claw back some of the funding. i mean, these reports have been published for months and months and months yet they refuse to do anything about it. we want to try to see if there's a way to claw any of this money back, to hold people accountable and try to put safeguards in place so it doesn't happen in the future. the worst thing i learned today
7:28 pm
is that the small business administration administered the ppp loan fund. the irs has a do not pay list. for whatever reason the sba didn't utilize that do not pay list which have in palos, whichd up anything to incorporate that into their software. about every single american on the do-not-pay best, back taxes, being convicted of fraud, just about everyone on that list got big ppp loans. >> laura: congressman, thank you for what you are doing. now, forget white privilege, what about liberal privilege? when a republican is rated by the fbi, linked by "new york times," "washington post," dramatic pictures splayed across the floor. but when it happens to a democrat, we don't find out about it until months and bail out the private counsel, not just the searches, but the release of the information, consider the timeline, the first batch of biden's docs found
7:29 pm
november 2nd, before the election, fbi search in mid-november, public didn't learn about it until january, and this morning, we learned of the latest search of a biden property, this time at his delaware beach house. no one is surprised, biden's personal attorney announced when it began and a surprise statement this morning, and he announced when it was over, claiming, oh, nothing to classi material yet despite all of this, the white house counsel's office is still claiming total transparency. >> did not disclose that the fbi also searched the president's former private office here in washington. do the american people have a right to know about that? >> yeah, i think we've been pretty transparent from the very beginning with providing information as it occurs throughout this process. you know, we have released probably thousands of words of statements from the president's personal attorney and the white house counsel's office about the process that has been taken
7:30 pm
here. >> laura: what a weenie. we've been very transparent, countless hours, thousands of hours. i guess this is the kind of transparency they're talking about. >> what is the current number of documents bearing classified markings that have been found in the president's residence and offices. >> i would refer you to the white house counsel's office. >> ian declined to comment on that as well. >> laura: thousands of pages. joining us now attorney who represented former president trump during his second impeachment. david he just says thousands of pages. but how unusual is this that the feds are allowing biden's attorneys to basically run the whole show here? >> well, running the whole show is very unusual. i think, as a matter of course, there should be a cooperative relationship between the lawyers and the justice department. but what's most striking is the point you made. the contrast to the way how this was treated with the trump situation in mar-a-lago, the exact opposite. every development was leaked to the media.
7:31 pm
there was this tremendous raid on the property. and also the timing contrast. here we know that the classified documents were found november 2nd. it doesn't seem coincidental that it was concealed until after the midterm elections and then quite a long time after that. that contrast extraordinarily with what happened in the trump situation, and in the trump situation the lawyers were called out for it and so on when they were trying to cooperate with the justice department. i don't think it's coincidental, quite frankly that we have a justice department, the second in command is lisa monaco, an acc light of andrew weisman who's citying writing articles about the mueller investigation and so on. andrew weisman is the most ethically bankrupt prosecutor i've ever dealt with. this is the whole crew, i don't think it's incidental that lisa monaco's running the show. >> laura: to have learned today that they searched the beach house, right say regular people don't follow it closely they're thinking wow they're being
7:32 pm
thorough, this is great. biden's being very open and very transparent but you have to kind of follow that time line that we just laid out from november 2nd to february 1st. this is still going on. but it seems like it's a choreographed show. that's my whole point here. it seemed choreographed to elicit this response from the public of, oh, wow, thank you for cooperating and being so transparent. trump would never have gotten away with anything like this. >> no, you're absolutely right and that latter point of course. the problem also in between we've heard assurance after assurance this is the end of it and there are no more documents and so on. frankly i don't believe there was any sinister plan by either president biden or president trump with respect to the possession of any of these documents, but i think now that they've gone so far down the road in making criminal accusations against president trump, i think they need to take a step back and consider how these things happen. it seems to happen as a matter of course. that doesn't make it right but it also doesn't make it criminal
7:33 pm
conduct by president trump. >> laura: yeah i think your point is a good one, equal treatment for both parties. that would be nice. david, thank you >> artificial intelligence seeks to distort reality and not only at the movies. in a biotech firm is trying to resurrect some long, extinct creatures. raymond arroyo will be here to tell us what could be next for us in seen and unseen.
7:38 pm
>> laura: it's time for seen and unseen segment where we explore the cultural stories of the the day and for that we turn to fox news contributor raymond arroyo. raymond, this artificial intelligence stuff, well, it's totally transforming our world. it's even wiping away age? sounds did good to me. >> well, at least on the screen laura. i mean, you remember a few years ago we talked about that scorsese film the irishman where a 75 year old robert de niro was made to look like a 30 year old, though his stiff body didn't quite get the memo. well, now a company called met a
7:39 pm
physics is going to deage for a new robert zemeckis film. this deaging will happen in real time, like a filter or one of those tom cruz deep fakes. in fact the company responsible for those deep fakes, it's the same company that's perfecting this new technology. it's kind of a high tech body snatchers. to me it feels that way anyway. >> laura: well, i guess if we're worried that there are no real movie stars anymore, right? you can just resurrect, you know, keep the old guys, keep going forever as long as they're still breathing. >> sort of an ai fountain of youth the good news we don't have to retire we can go on and on about you bad news we may not be able to see it. >> greg: the left won't be happy. >> technology is also getting into the resurrection business. a dallas firm, bio science has
7:40 pm
raised more than $200 million to bring back some extinct species. this is a bit of their corporate pitch. listen to this. >> how do you accomplish the seemingly impossible task of a life beyond our reach? you go big. we believe in our duty to take the life science break throughs we built our mission upon and put them to work in service of reversing what humanity did to the the do do. our vision isn't limited to the dodo. >> laura: the dodo. i read about this they raised $150 million bucks to genetically engineer the dodo bird which went extinct in the late 1600s? what? >> they're also trying to recreate the wooly mammoth laura, and then they plan to release these creatures back into the wild revising these ancient creatures in a lab has been tried before and it's always such a big hit with the
7:41 pm
kids. >> laura: okay. >> laura, this is what i think we're going to see a little bit of. because you know how they're creating these things? they're taking preserved dna, which was the jurassic park story line and co-mingling it with living relatives. like birds. >> laura: what could go wrong. >> yeah, what could go wrong. >> laura: call me crazy and i know a lot of people do, but i will say that the raptor is the single most terrifying creature ever in a movie, okay? and that scene of the valoso
7:42 pm
raptor coming at you, my kids can't even watch that. none of them, hideous. >> i don't like the idea creating new species and releasing them into the wild. they don't know what's going to happen. and i don't know why they're so worried the dodo bird laura. that species seems to be doing just fine. >> the hands, the hands. >> hello, hello, hello. please have a seat if you have one. y'all ready? all right. little bit of a cold. >> laura, not even colasas could bring back amtrak joe though they might be able to peel a few years off before 2024. we'll see. >> laura: before you leave tell us about the video game simms four which is a controversial new update. >> this is a game that allows people to build avatars, very popular. the latest version of sims
7:43 pm
includes disabled ad offense like hearing aids. gender fluid shape wear has been added and so-called top surgery scars which indicates that a woman has had surgery to remove her breasts. now that feature can be added to any male sims character teen or older laura. and remember parents are upset because this game is aimed toward kids and a lot of them are online playing it. >> laura: raymond what is the angle about? they're exposing themselves in this case literally their agenda. smash the nuclear family smash basic norms go to the corporate board room to the games to everything we see and none of this is surprising as terrifying as the raptor. raymond we'll age ourselves later in the hour. >> yes later in the broadcast. >> laura: thank you >> news broke during our hour last night that nikki haley will soon be announcing a run for the white house. but she isn't the only 2024
7:44 pm
making waves, kellyanne conway takeses us through some of that breaking news next. i'm bill lockwood, current caretaker and owner. breaking news next. us through breaking news next. when covid hit, we had some challenges like a lot of businesses did. i heard about the payroll tax refund, it allowed us to keep the amount of people that we needed and the people that have been here taking care of us. see if your business may qualify. go to getrefunds.com.
7:48 pm
7:49 pm
well, south carolina senator tim scott is conducting what he's calling a listening tour that will take him around his home state. third on the gop's primary calendar, by the way. and then to iowa, the first nominating state. but, wait, there's more. larry hogan? this is exciting. he did nothing to stop covid fanatics who ran rampant in his state. he announced that he is giving very serious consideration to a 2024 run, adding that trump won't be the nominee. that's a lot of confidence for a man polling at, wait for it, 1% to trump's 36% in the latest poll. well, the chief threat to trump's gop nomination will come from florida governor ron desantis mosts likely while not declared he's nipping at trump's heels one poll at 34%. and the battle between the two men, though, mostly one-sided at this point has taken on a noticeably more contentious posture the past week.
7:50 pm
here to sort through all the jockeying is kellyanne conway former senior counselor to president trump and fox news contributor. kelly ann to the outside observe it it seems like this is really a two-person race so why do you this i -- this reminds me of 2000 when john mccain became the nominee. why are we going to see this huge field once again emerge? >> it's never a two-person race, though, laura. i think competition is healthy. we had competition in the rnc chair race. we had competition from the holdouts when kevin mccarthy wanted to be speaker, 15 ballots. mitch mcconnell had competition. we're the free market pro competition partiment pro competition is what makes this country great and sustains it. i welcome it. it reminds me of 2016 in this way. at this point in 2016 basically jeb bush was running away with it. he had about 24, 25% of the vote and donald trump had one percent, people totally wrote him off.
7:51 pm
donors don't pick nominees, pollsters doesn't, pun dans don't washington doesn't, the voters do. and the most powerful thing to our electorate is one person one vote is the most equalizing factor. i welcome debate. the first debate laura is six short months from now in milwaukee wisconsin so if we have a number of people on the debate stage people can poke the fruit for themselves and sus south the policy differences. look at the democratic side they're stuck with joe biden. >> laura: i get the competition argument. i had this debate by the way, i think it was was in 2012 with bill crystal at the time. maybe it was 2008. i can't remember. but we are basically saying it's fun to have a lot people in the race, but if a lot of people are worried about president trump getting the nomination, i'm not saying i'm one of those people, you could see why trump wants a lot of people in the race correct? it definitely helps donald trump to have a big field, without a
7:52 pm
doubt it helps him. >> it does. it also helps him to run on his record of accomplishments. look, i think everybody should take their major deficit and try to turn it into an asset. people say i want the trump policies without the trump personality he has to turn around and say without my personality, mexico, china, korea, japan, canada, trade deals, manufacturing, mining, all the rest wouldn't have happened. vaccine went through operation warp speed wouldn't have happened. and ron desantis the wrap on him is you have no charm you're note grays to your hosts he says i'm not running for mr. con jeanial this is a tough job. i've done a great job in florida. we can make those for either. it's super hard to win the president of the united states. only 45 men have done it, won two times and i think haley wants to run to show that she can put, at the presidential level, what's happening with the
