weekend saturday and sunday. the anthem at 6 a.m. every saturday and sunday. monday sean is back with an exclusive interview with former president trump. you don't want to miss it. plenty to talk about. thanks for tuning in. have eye blessed weekend. i will see you bright and early tomorrow morning. >> ♪ ♪ >> laura: i am laura ingraham with the "the ingraham angle" from washington tonight. trump was right. that's the focus of tonight's "angle." at the end of a week with so many. world events turning against us, we arrive at the conclusion trump was right. remember from the first month of his presidency he challenged the stale old status quo where america carried the lion's share

of the security burden for europe. >> nato numbers must finally contribute their fair share and meet their financial obligations. if nato countries made their complete contributions nato would be stronger than it is today. >> laura: he made it clear that the days were over when the united nations and other foreign countries could just run roughshod over america's interest. >> we will only give foreign aid to those who respect us and who are frankly are our friends. we expect other countries to pay their fair share for the cost of their defense. the united states is committed to making the united nations more effective and accountable. >> laura: his common sense

message infuriated our scr scribblers to end. trump's take down of the sacred cow. what he said with it was dangerous. >> donald trump is recklessly destroying the underpinnings of the american led international order. >> he chose to walk away from the institutions that formed american foreign policy. >> the greatest threat of the liberal international order now is the trump administration. >> laura: no the greatest threat to the order was and is the global status quo. even kissinger understood this. the man most responsible for america opening to chinaa in the 1970s. he saw the growing threat of

beijing and was it was dangerous under president xi and advised trump on ways to box out china by establishing closer ties to russia. the strategy would use closeers relationships with russia and other countries to box in china's growing power and influence. trump agreed with kissinger's points. before the phoney mueller investigation he would have followed a strategy to dine moscow closer to prevent china from forgeing a new alliance with them. during the cold war u.s. foreign policy was aimed at keeping russia and china apart. after 2 years of biden they have never been close. xi and putin said their partnership will reshape the future. if we continue on the biden path that's what will happen. america will grow weaker as

china grows more powerful. germany and much of europe seem comfortable with russia or china in the drivers seat. another thing trump called. >> germany will become totally dependent on russian energy if it does not immediately change course. here in the western hemisphere we are committed to maintaining our independence from the encroachment of expansionist foreign powers. >> laura: now china is on the move everywhere including in our own hemisphere. the hondure an president announced his country will establish diplomatic ties with china england their relationship with taiwan. with trump gone china is gaining influence and power not just to the south but to the north as well in canada. one of our closest allies in

trading partners. a newspaper reported that china preferred to see justin trudeau liberals elected and worked to defeat conservative politicians unfriendly to beijing. china perfects the candidates that are weak like biden. china was opposed to trump's reelection. i wonder why. as america has become weaker, trudeau has become less willing te take a tough stand against china including on the issue of election interference. we didn't expect biden in canada today to announce a new immigration impact. he didn't raise any of these issues with china and didn't want to offend justin trudeau. biden is overseeing the military as it is bullied out of the south china sea.

the china defense ministry said they drove away the u.s. navy destroyer after it entered their waters. this is dangerous. on top of the small matter of a nuclear war. an american contract was killed and 5 troops injured when an iranian drone struck an american base in syria. we have troops there. >> why are those 900 troops still on the ground in syria. they are not providing any benefit to the united states. the general said they are there for the defeat of isis that's nonsense. >> laura: now we launched counter strikes on-sites in eastern syria. after the iranian backed forces

ignited this exchange the pentagon went out of the wait to reassure the goebel community they didn't seek any conflict with iran but only seeks stability in the region. are we getting anything out of the rules based international order it we were told is so vital to american interests? of course not. this is something else trump called out. >> we are spending tremendous amounts ever of money for decades to policing report. we want to police ourselves -- and rebuild our country. we are ending the era of endless wars. it is not the duty of the u.s. troops to solve ancient conflicts in far away lands that many people have never even heard of. >> laura: biden's pentagon believes that america has

a world police war. that's why we are wasting energy condemning uganda for anti-sodomy laws. this is where realism and america first nationalism must define the republican party going forward. the idea that the u.s. is going to be safer and more stable if it abides by the global nowhere else, this has always been fantasy land stuff. trump knew this. the "angle" is thrilled that this idea of a so-called rules based international order is collapsing before our eyes. that's in america's best interest. the republican party will only succeed if it embraces this vision. we know trump will. but who else? that's the "angle." joining me now is ohio senator vance. this week has been wild.

the banking crisis. the status quo of this rules based international order that biden and blinken are also touting. any doubt that is over after what we have seen? >> i would hope not. if you remember the sum total benefit of the rules based international order more americans is all of this international trade which has ment free-trade with china that saw our manufacturing base get shipped overseas. i don't know what americans get out of the rules based international order. it's not to the benefit of working people in ohio. what bothers me about this ukraine mess is the way that 8th grade thinking masquerades as foreign policy wisdom to the failed party in washington, d.c. they think that acting tough and

talking tough is more important than a hard, real american power. the simple fact is we don't make enough missiles in this country to fight a war in europe and in a ace -- ace we. we need to focus on our own national interest. >> laura: nikki haley reacted to those syria strikes. >> i am glad they struck back to show we are awake. we have to stand strong. that's why it's so important to have the back of ukraine. a win for russia is a win for china. they are having a plan to change the world order to eliminate the west and take over. >> laura: if the u.s. stops funding the war in ukraine, that is a win for china? how is that? >> well, that's not right. you know that. the chinese want us to continue

funding the war in ukraine because they recognize it disattracts them from getting more involved and smartinger about east asia. -- these guys forgot the lessons of roosevelt and reagan and donald trump. speak softly and carry a big stick. they replaced that with talk tough and carry a wet noodle. their foreign policy is based on talking tough and their own country becomes weaker. china doesn't care how tough we act. they care about how powerful we are. until the leaders of this country recognize that, they will lose the capacity to make our own weapons. china is making more ships than we are by 4 times. we have to make weapons.

>> laura: a moment from biden in canada today. he has beijing brain. >> we are expanding legal pathways to discourage unlawful migration. i applaud china -- excuse me. i applaud canada. >> laura: he is always applauding china whether he speaks it or not. >> that's right. his policies the past couple of years have been good for communist china from the inflationary policies and destruction of our manufacturing base. what is fun sethat for 5 years these guys were obsessed with the idea that russ yah influencing our elections -- we know the chinese have been influencing our elections not just in america but the western world. they seem not to care.

that tells you about their priorities. >> laura: why is it taking so long to band tiktok after the creep was on capitol hill. the ceo of tiktok. they cite the first amendment. have a great weekend. the pentagon, while they declared war again republicans, they are standing up for racial arsonists within their own ranks. the pentagon said it will issue no disciplinary action to its former diversity inclusion chief over a series of statements about white people. she was appointed as the chief the pentagon education wing back this 2021. in that position, she was involved in curriculum which services over 60,000 american children and 160 schools around

the globe. she stated that her goal was to tear down the system of education in america and co-authored books what is white privilege? what does it mean to defund the police displayed at 11 school libraries. then asked about whether it was time for racial reckoning, she respond in the affirmative. joining me now is horace cooper. we are so focussed on woke-ing our military we lost sight. real enemy. it's not white privilege. it's the cccp. >> we better learn mandarian

quickly. if these woke-steres continue to get their way, they are promoting racism. 21st century racism. it operates like early 20th century racism. it changed who the race person is that is being targeted. our military doesn't need racism division. what we need is a focus on a winning strategy. our people need our military to not just be the greatest fighting force on the planet. we feed other countries to change their behavior because they fear this fighting force.

a woke fighting forces a joke. >> laura: woke is joke. and blinken the secretary of state spoke about their budget requests. listen to what he said. >> the budget will advance our efforts to modernize the statement expanding our training and updating our technology including to make our overseas missions more accessible. >> laura: america is in trouble on every level. they are focussed on the dei of biden. that's their only miss anymore. >> we are supposed to have the state department help assist america. in negotiating, in coming up with resolutions and solutions

that don't require actual physical conflict. when our team of negotiators is more focussed on how many people of a transgender or minority status or whatever their backgrounds are, that's time and energy lost. why haven't we come up with a solution to resolve the ukraine conflict? because our state department doesn't have its eye focussed on what is necessary. the china conflict is real. it is headed our way. if we are not paying attention, we better start learning to speak mandarian. >> laura: wonderful to see you. mike will answer an important question. has america gone soft.

>> ♪ ♪ >> laura: as the "angle" told you for years. the left wants to continue the public to learn to live with less. to learn to be happy with a lower standard of living. right on cue the uproar that

msnbc chris hayes referred to as a culture war fight are coming to fruition. new york lawmakers will enact the first legislative ban on gas and fossil fuel appliances in new building including single family homes. you might say, that's just the blue states. check out this quote. supporters see the potential new york law as a national model they hope can spur similar action by other states and the federal government. the reason supporters of think they can clean on the feds to promote similar actions we just how easily they can change life forever and used covid to do so. lockdowns and the work from home reality. that got people thinking they never wanted to leave their

house. for some it became like an illness. >> after the shutdown started, it was like we went to sleep, humanity went to sleep. it was like a snow day from life. i felt safe. >> getting out on busy streets make me nauseous. >> and the pandemic first started it was comfortable. i felt relaxed. >> i am nervous to return to any kind of normalacy. >> laura: we told you this would happen. the work force would be upended. 3 years even pro-locked focus see the bad effects of all of. this the attitude of americans toward work changed during the long pandemic. not for the better.

this new approach threatens to do long lasting damage to economic growth and prosperity. until covid-19 most americans followed a decades old pattern. spent hours in the office or factor and commute home. as lockdowns eased americans reassessed their work life balance. the question lurking in the minds ever many now: has america gone soft? joining me now is mike row host of fox business. wonderful it see you. i will let you answer that question. have we gone soft? >> man, everything in me wants to say well, yeah, obviously we have. if my personal view, the mistake we make when we talk about these big issues is we paint with

a broad brush. some of us have gone soft. some of us have doubled down. others have opted out. most people are just playing the cards they got. right now, for instance, i am 3 thousand miles away from you and working from home. i accomplish that thanks to a bunch ever technology. -- of tabling. -- technology. i brought jobs back on the air at the height of the lockdowns. everywhere i looked work was back in the headlines and people grabbled with what that meant. as our country scrambles to redefine what a good job is in 2023, i try through my foundation and the shows i work on to just show the group of americans and the part of our work force who is still very much engaged with their hands

and still very much out in the world up to 60 force a week doing the work that has to be done. maybe my answer is: sure we got soft and gotten a little confused. but there are a lot of parts to the elephant. depending what part you grab on to, you will have a very different experience. >> laura: i have 3 children and soon they will be teenagers. when i was a kid i was also working. this summer i am sending my children out to you. they will do your yard work. [laughing]. i am putting my kids to work. are we going to camp? no, we are going to work this summer. physical work especially for

young people who have any priv privilege, it teaches them so much about the real world and also themselves. >> sure. kids don't want to be talked anymore than adults want to be lectured. would you are 100% right. we made work the cause of our unhappiness. our boss the real life villain for the lack of bliss in our life. it's not enough to say embrace the suck. you need to do it because it's important and it's good for you. we have to find out a way to love it. that's the trick. that was the secret cause on dirty jobs and how america works. that's why my foundation awards work ethic scholarships. >> laura: tell us about that. it makes me happy to hear about it. >> we giveaway a couple of

million bucks a year who want to learn a skill in demand. this is money for training. pipe fitters. welders. and so forth. we have been doing it since labor day of 2008. there are scholarships for everything else. academic and talent. >> laura: why not this? >> right. when you take your kids and expose them to a new partnership of our work force or encourage the kind of behavior we want to see more, work ethic has to be part of it. closing the skills gap is a big part of that. >> laura: all of the concern about generation-z looking for stability. part is just getting become into the rhythm of a regular course of life. mike, your work is invaluable.

thanks for what you do with your foundation and your shows. we keep hearing how strong the economy is under biden. young adults don't seem to feel it. a new survive by an employment site for college students said 85% says it matters most. suzy said many students feel as if they are at their limits. you turn around and there are layoffs everywhere and everyone is saying ai will make us obsolete. you are a card carrying member of the gen-z generation. does this hunger for stability surprise you given everything

this generation as seen? >> it does and doesn't. i think every generation struggled to find stability given the time they for america. it's a universal struggle and gen-z is in the throes of it. i agree with mike. gen-z has been raised to be comforted and soft. that is driving the way they feel towards society and working within society. not only are they worried about the economy but about the threats like climate change and nuclear war. these have been concerns for generations prior and will be for generations after. gen-z struggled to look through that and continue to work regardless and continue to have a philosophy of seeking action in stability and wanting to work in the throes of that. >> laura: haven't they been sold a bill of goods in the schools? america is racist.

it's unfaire. you are a victim. you get in the real world and no one cares if you are say you are a victim. you have to work. have a little fun around the edges. i don' the real world is tough. >> that's what happened to me. i was raised with an activity mind set of and victim hood. i thought there was no greater work than to be an activist. there is no lower work. once i stepped outside of that and realized wow there is so much to be sought out and so many opportunities in this country, despite all of the struggles we are going through together right now. that's when you wake up and seek fulfillment in the day-to-day. gen-z has trouble living in the present.

they can't live in the now. >> laura: probably a spiritual deficit as well. thank you. friday's follies is next. i give raymond raymond 3 wishes. deep fakes all over the internet. raymond arroyo and friday's follies next. 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... and more smile to your life... affordably. new patients without insurance can get a free complete exam and x-rays, and 20 percent off treatment plans. schedule your appointment today. i'm not a doctor. i'm not even in a doctor's office. i'm standing on the street, talking to real people about their heart. how's your heart? my heart's pretty good. you sure? i think so. how do you know?

fantasizing about friends running for president. >> jon stewart. the guy is so [bleep] smart and bright and witty. knows how to talk. he would work his [bleep] off to be a good president. he could also win. people like jon stewart. >> howard stern endorsed biden in 2020. jon stewart he is smart but his show the problem on apple plus started with 180,000 fewers fell down to 40,000 viewers. -- tiktok challenges have more viewers. you hear this all the time. michelle obama and the rock.

>> laura: he evolved to see how insane liberalism became. stewart never got there. >> and hillary clinton teased a run by running around columbia's campus or trotting. >> laura: no. >> not something we need to sign up for. >> laura: it looked like barney for a second. i don't know what that was. >> only capture it from the knee down. there was a story this week out of virginia where these 2 inmates used a toothbrush to dig a tunnel out of their jail cell. i would sit their goals higher. they spent months digging out to make a bee line for ihop.

the international house of prisoners. they called the cops and the pair were arrested. wouldn't you go to a steak house? >> laura: probably short on cash after that time behind bars. give them credit for the toothbrush maneuver. imagine if they had an electric toothbrush how quickly they would get out. did they use floss? >> i don't know. >> laura: you have one wish left. >> my final wishes that when congressmen who spent far too many hours with lobbyists try to defend tiktok, i wish they would come up with better arguments than this. >> the hysteria and the panic and the targeting of ticket. republicans in particular have been sounding the alarm. creating a red scare around china. let's not be racist towards china and express our

xenophobic. republicans ain't got no swag. that's why they want to ban tiktok. that's the problem. >> laura: neither do they have grammar. the congressman doesn't understand he is supporting a slave state in china by standing up for tiktok. >> oppression doesn't have swag either. this is a spy tool and should be made. you have seen the deep fakes of trump being arresteded in new york. never happened. we found other images that we hope are deep fakes. you are recovering from knee surgery. good to see you back on the slopes again. -- we see it. i love that you are tap dancing. look at that form. my gosh!

that's incredible. >> laura: yes, the doctor did a great job on the acl. raymond, you claim that you are out on book tour. you are hanging out clubs with nikki mel ang. >> i am disturbed this leaked. we came across this. this is from a christmas party at biden's delaware home. is this a deep fake? >> laura: we are closer than people might believe. we have a relationship. >> deeply troubling. >> laura: and raymond, good luck out there on the book tower. -- tour. catch raymond tomorrow morning

on "fox and friends." he will be on a scooter. my campaign advice for desantis and trump got so much reaction we have an update. stay there. a landscaper. a hunter. because you didn't settle for ordinary. same goes for your equipment. versatile, powerful, durable kubota equipment. more goes into it. so you get more out of it.

>> ♪ ♪ >> laura: you have to give the democrats and friends credit for

one thing. they will never admit just how bad things have gotten in the biden economy. >> well, look i have faith in president biden and secretary yellen and the federal reserving. they have all hands on deck. >> let's finish the job and keep building the economy from the middle out and bottom up. >> we look at how strong the economy is, it's because of the president's work. >> we had the fastest recovery from a down turn we have ever seen. >> our view is that the banking system is sound. >> laura: would you trust any of these people to give you the most basic financial advice? i don't think so. why should any be trusted with the nation's economy? to win in 2024 republicans need a comprehensive plan to restore the american economy. how.

we brought in an economist and worked in the trump white house. you have i believe 4 pieces of wisdom to share about how to restore things. the trump people knew how to do this. we know that because of how well the economy was sitting in 2019. let's start with your number 1? >> number 1 is spending cuts. if you go back and look at what we thought right before i left the white house in 2019, how much we would spend over the next 10 years, the democrats and biden increased that by 10 trillion dollars. somebody needs to explain to democrat where inflation comes from. the fed can race interest rates and inflation won't go down. i would have a freeze on spending. >> laura: you freeze spending

and the left will scream unfair. grandma is getting pushed off the cliff. kids are going to school hungry. the usual sob stories that the democrats pull even though can you cut 10% off the federal government and nobody would feel it, correct? >> yes, you are 100% right. in the inflation reduction act like the worst named bill ever that the democrats passed. they had 370-billion dollars for green energy. if you are subsidizing green energy you are paying people to do things in a less efficient manner. you could wipe that off the book and it would make the economy stronger right away. >> laura: number 2 on the list to restore the economy? >> well, number 2 goes back to reagan and tax cuts. something i still regret. i thought this fight in the white house but the senate would not give. the trump tax cuts are expiring

on the corporate side. already some are phased out as we speak. if we look at the data the tax cuts worked as planned. if they expire that will make firms reduce their capital spending. if they did that we will have another supply disruption. >> laura: your third idea? >> deregulation. the previous record holder was barack obama and joe biden passed twice as many new regulations as barack obama did. we estimated the effect of president trump's reduction ever 7 regulations for each new one and is saved americans $3100 a piece per year. americans feel like inflation is out of control.

>> laura: number 4? >> they cut all of these checks to memo. they are making it so they don't have to work in order to make a living. they are telling students they don't have to pay back their student loans. if you have a opportunity living in his parent's basement he can do that because he doesn't need a job to pay back student loans. need to study the welfare programs and cut them back. >> laura: i will add number 5. open up oil and gas and bring down the price of energy and return us to energy independence. thanks for your ideas. if you thought new york drivers were really bad, wait until you see what happened in florida.
