[cheers and applause] >> sean: just checking, our instudios guests emily companion clay travis, dr. nicole and much more. if you want to be a part of the show go to hannity.com, the tickets are free. please set your dvr never miss an episode. in the meantime let not your heart be troubled. laura is next see you tomorrow. >> laura: i'm laura ingraham this is the ingraham angle from washington tonight. thanks for being with us. winning solves everything, that's the focus of tonight's angle. now, let's try one more time to explain stuff to people who i know are frustrated and they're confused about gop politics right now. many republicans, especially donor types are flummoxed by recent political polls. now for sure the in crowd thought that trump was finished, january 6th, another impeachment, multiple

investigations, oh, a possible indictment and he's still re-litigating 2020. but, guess what? trump still has almost a 30-point lead in the rcp average over ron desantis and he leads biden in the head to head as well. but, of course, this doesn't speak to the battle ground states. that didn't fall trump's way last go round, as you remember. in two of those states according to a new public opinion's strategy poll, desantis not trump narrowly leads biden. of course desantis hasn't jumped into the race yet he hinted he will announce after his state legislature wraps its session in may. now this has worried some about this late timing desantis's which they claim may leave him ill-prepared against the former president's luggageening attacks and lagging in the on the ground organizing critical in states with an early nominating

contest. well, for his part, trump continues what, to many, seem like petty attacks on desantis and the latest polls about, well, the latest about his so-call pudding fingers. and for desantis, the attack on trump wasn't really petty, it was just, well, kind of off. now what a gift it would be for biden if the election ended up being a referendum about guns and abortions instead of biden's biggest vulnerability which we all know was the economy. a poll released on sunday showed that 97% view the economy as an important issue with inflation at 95%, healthcare at 94%. abortion was down at 79%. so desantis is battling did i see any, trump is battling alvin bragg. crowds are showing up with some uncomfortable moments for both men. a crowd in texas didn't seem to react well recently when trump,

during a rally, hit desantis pretty hard, and desantis seemed a little rattled over the weekend when a nutty woman rushed the stage in new hampshire. >> 14, 16, 18 -- yeah. thank you. >> you've got to have a little spice in the speech, right? i mean, you've got to have a little fun. >> laura: well, a few well-known republicans have just announced they were supporting trump. and thomas peterfy a gop million dollars donor has hit the pause button because of the six week abortion ban just announced. meanwhile we watch day by day as the country is slipping away under biden's team of fools. we're declining in almost every way and the white house has almost no intention of turning it around. in fact, decline is their

policy. now, under these circumstances many are left wondering, how did we get here? now, what a lot of republicans have never understood is that the trump movement is the result of despair. despair among tens of millions of gop voters. these folks always knew that the left was against them, and they never trusted the media. but ever since about 2004 or so, they've come to believe that the leadership of the gop is also against them. they see republicans supporting china, republicans supporting open boarders and republicans supporting wasteful silly wars. they also see republicans, with a few exceptions like trump and desantis, never ever actually defeat the left on any real issue. the dreaded larry hogan, republican in name only, of maryland was governor there, of course, is maryland more conservative as a result of hogan's tenure?

now, clearly governor hogan would rather have biden reelected than trump or anyone who agrees with trump on any policy. he would rather have biden win the presidency. >>' about addition and multiplication not subtraction and division. we haven't focused on what the americans care about. >> that's what's confounding to people you're not running. >> i felt like i was in a life boat by myself, the ss titanic trump was going by. more and more people are jumping off the boat, we now need a bigger boat. >> laura: okay. that made no sensement charlie baker, another so-called republican was governor of massachusetts. well, did he really move that state to the right? >> we need, as a party, to move past president trump, and to move on to an agenda that represents the voices of all those in the party, and the

people of the country. i've just chosen to make the way i govern and the way we get things done a statement about how i think this should work. >> laura: he's so sanctimonious isn't he? well, the way i govern. the result of the way he governs, after baker massachusetts voters turned the govrship owner to liberal democrat crat moira. that's what happens whps they win, they end up sending to slow liberal enrepment. so if their brand of conservativeism is so good why didn't mitt romney win anyone 2008? they didn't. >> why don't they 35 in places like california where there are plenty of wealthy people. one would think that the supposed brain jacks and the old gop guard would have straightened out the pentagon,

straightened out the intel community, right? wrong. both institutions these days, they're just as woke as academia. after watching all these developments most voters who are populous, not that they identify that way, they've come to conclude that the gop as a national institution is effectively useless. now state gops may be effective in places like alabama or florida, but the national gop, it's not going to stop china. it's not going to push the republicans to enforce the boarders. it's not going to reform the pentagon. it's not going to lower the debt. it won't. it was the acceptable wing of the gop that gave biden one of his biggest crowning achievements, that boondoggle infrastructure bill. >> mitch, it's, you know, it wasn't easy, it wouldn't have happened without your hand. it just wouldn't have gotten done, and i want to thank you for that.

>> laura: now, its passage is what made possible on a simple majority vote the even worse so-called inflation reduction act. so we had trillions of dollars blown which further drove up inflation and gave biden wide regulatory authority to move against gas-powered cars, which he did last week. >> the epa proposing the strongest-ever federal pollution technology standards for both cars and trucks. today's actioning will accelerate our ongoing transition to a clean vehicles future. >> laura: voters see this and they think, thanks, mitch. and once you've concludeded that the national gop doesn't work, you may as well support trump. well, maybe it's just a protest vote anyway, right? so if the gop wants to change this dynamic, i'm not saying they should but if they want to change this dynamic, they need to start winning. this he need to start seeing articles in the national media about how biden got played by

mcconnell, not the other way around. we need to see progressives complaining that their guys are rolling over for republicans instead of the other way around. and, most of all, we need to see that the gop has both the will and the ability to defeat the political forces undermining america at home and abroad. winning fixes everything. reagan won a bunch of battles in the 1980s, and the bushes were still running on those victories in the 2000s. if the gop starts winning again, most of its problems are going to go away. if the folks who run the gop really want to beat trump and nominate someone else, they need to show that they can beat the democrats. and, so far, no good. and that's the angle. joining me now charlie hurt, washington times opinion editor and fox news contributor and victor davis hanson hoover institution fellow. charlie desantis is going to

washington tomorrow to meet with congressional members and tonight another florida republican congressman greg steube endorsed trump. now do you think desantis, perhaps, will regret waiting until after this legislation wraps, or are we all just way too eager to get this thing going? >> well, i think that we are definitely eager to get this thing going for good reason. especially when you look at everything the biden administration does. but it really is going to be a real problem, because obviously president trump is doing a very good job of softening up the target of ron desantis. whether you agree with some of these ads and some of these attacks on him, i think some of them are unfair, but, you know, it's politics. it's sort of the nature of the game. but i do think that, you know, i think your monologue is so spot on. you know, the reason we're in this situation in the first place, and donald trump was the

first person to come along and identify this, is that republicans in washington have abandoned their voters and abandoned and the best example of this, of course, is illegal immigration. and but for donald trump coming along and identifying it and forcing the republican party back to the battlefield on this issue, and it's a winning issue because, of course, when you look at the polling, republicans occupy the 80% territory in terms of what voters support when it comes to immigration. ron desantis is in that same sort of camp, and i think, in a lot of ways, while, you know, desantis may regret having to wait as long as he's waiting to get in, the good news for republicans is that both of these candidates are on the winning side, which is on the side that most republican voters want and democrats are the ones that are defending the indefensible 20% margin of free healthcare, free illegals and

open borders. >> laura: victor, lindsay graham spoke out and a lot of donors, i understand, are also very concerned, about this six-week abortion ban decision by governor desantis. very widely popular in the republican party. here's what graham said. >> desantis will have to ask the question -- answer the question, do you support a national ban at six weeks? why did you pick six weeks? the legislative body of florida supported what he did. this is an issue worth talking about. >> laura: victor, is this a problem? >> i think it's mostly a media problem. the problem is you outlined, and charlie alluded to is that the republicans haven't won at the national level 51% of the vote since 1988 and they've lost 7 out of the last 8 popular votes at a time they're doing well at local and regional election. and the issues are all on the republican conservative side. if you don't have candidates

who, a, as you point out, have a record of success in winning over independents and even democrats, as we've seen in virginia and florida, or you have candidates who don't really believe in a conservative solution to these problems as we saw in i i think 2008 and 2012, then they don't have the sky or the desire or the ability to do what ray gone did and move the country over to the proper solution. and then when they can't do that they start blaming people and say we have to go to the center or we have the wrong talking points. it's because of their own inability or unwillingness to make the conservative cause. on every one of these issues, crime, energy, foreign policy, the border, the people are with the conservative solution, but the problem is that the institutional echo chamber that all of the liberal institutions, it starts to scare or terrify republican politicians at the national level. they're worried about what social media, the media, or, i

don't know, the corporate world thinks. and so they don't try to make that argument and convince people. trump did. and we're going to -- and i think in a different way, youngkin and desantis have had a lot of success in doing that. i don't think it's too early at all. i think these three candidates should get in and we should have a debate. the only -- my only worry, laura, is i think all of the candidates should pledge to support the nominee because there's going to be no margin of error when you're dealing with the type of money the democrats have and the institutional support. and we know what they're going to do, they're not going to support the border or anything else they're going to cry racism and they're cutting social security and that's all they're going to do and that's effective if you control the echo chamber in the united states. >> laura: charlie i think victor raises a very important point because i really believe people like hogan and baker, liberal republican governors, i mean they don't have any constituency

nationally obviously, he's like i'm on my own boat the titanic, i don't know what he's talking about. he has no constituency whatsoever, zero. okay. so they would prefer for biden to win, correct? if trump is the nominee they would never, ever, ever go out and campaign for trump. so that's where they are. >> yeah. and those people, they're the lose honorably or lose politely crowd of republicans and they're the ones that have driven the republican party into the ground. i think you're exactly right they would far rather have somebody like joe biden than somebody who threatens the establishment of the republican party like donald trump no matter how right donald trump is on all the issues. >> laura: and victor, do you agree that most of the republican leadership probably agrees the same, very quickly. >> yeah, i think they play by the markers of queens bury rules. they would rather lose

noticeabley than lose ugly. >> laura: all right charlie victor thank you. the last 20 years, the u.s. had a gdp short fall of $16 trillion due to discrimination against black americans. that's according to city bank. >> laura: that was susan rice at al sharpton's national conference that we played you last week. her citation of city bank was very interesting because according to e-mails from wicky links an executive there was responsible for her post in the obama white house. so we were not shocked to hear language like this from a current city bank exec just a few days back. >> we have to win this war. we have to get this resolved. i think that there is, there is desire to put private capitol. we need the, we need the enabling capitol now in order to mobilize the size of private capitol we needment we need to

scale this at a level that we haven't seen in the past. >> laura: she's talking about ukraine there obviously, private capitol's going to be mobilized. joining me is elrich kolby author of strategy of denial american defense in the age of power complex. eldridge just with how they made the ccp rich, it does seem like it's all about money for them no matter what the crisis is at the moment, no matter how we've any our eye off the ball in asia, there's an opportunity there for city bank or credit swiss or whatever bank we're talking about. wild. >> wild indeed, laura. i was really struck by just the profagacy and i was looking at some of the other segments from gina ra manned 0, upwards of $4 billion and the united states is in the lead. that's a lot of money and you've been you can taking about the

size of the national debt and how we need to pay more attention to it and this administration is saying china's going to be the priority but to your point fortunately the vast majority of republicans want a financial standard bearerer who looks after their interests first and foremost. the secretary of commerce saying we're going to be there as long as it takes basically saying there's no limit to the financial support let alone the military support and i don't see how that's america's best interest when europe can handle that and we have bigger problems in the pacific. >> laura: the reconstruction effort you alluded to, the war in ukraine 200 billion and counting, just watch what we're really going to pay. >> massive, $411 billion, that's for the reconstruction. that's up $69 billion from the fall report. so this is only, what, six months after the fact. and that does not include the challenge of the money required to elevate the check restoration

of the country, to build back better. >> laura: build back better, eldridge, he's even using biden's lingo. >> right, that's a tell exactly. $200 billion or $400 billion is almost certainly a way underestimate and what we're seeing in the news reporting and the administration's admitting itself is there's a lot of concern about how the ukrainian offensive will go. so four hundred billion's probably a low bar but secretary ra money dough said it could last four plus years. it gets back to what's in the best interest of the american people and laura you're right, this is the administration but we need republican leaders to bring that approach. where is the prior tosation of concrete american interest republican voters and the nation as a whole see china as by far the primary threat. they understand the problem i think better than people here in washington, dc do. >> laura: eldridge, very quickly, the charges against chinese police states being set up within the united states, three offices of the prc charged

with transnational scenes, we reported on this some time ago on the angle. your quick reaction there. >> laura it's just a taste of what's coming. if the chinese get past taiwan and build a military they're on the trajectory to do and are starting to exercise, that's a small taste of the world we have to look forward to so we have to take steps to avoid that. >> laura: long tentacles reach. elbridge thank you. >> the media usually can't wait to get their hands on a shooter's manifesto so why is the nashville shooter's still unreleased? who's blocking it? and why aren't news organizations clamoring for it. the angle reached out to authorities for answers, we're going to tell you what they told us next.

♪ >> we have a manifesto, we have some writings that we're going over that pertain to this date, the actual incident. >> laura: but that's not all. authorities found cell phones, laptops, a suicide note, three folders, and 19 journals. so why hasn't the public seen any of this? and do they really expect us to believe that they can't establish a clear motive behind audrey hale's actions?

there's another curious development as well, the media are usually rabbit about securing the release of the shooter's diaries or manifestos? but they've fallen silent, oddly curious here. why is that? the night of the shooting the angle spoke to a criminal profiler about the issue. what he said stuck with us. watch. >> they're going to have to release all of that james yes or no? all of that will have to be released to the public. >> laura that's exactly where i was going, it should be released but i have a feeling there may be some doj participation in this. they may not want these kind of writings going out. it would destroy a bunch of narratives that this present administration has. >> laura: tonight, that seems to be the only conclusion that we can reach. metro national pd told the ingraham angle that they, along with the fbi, are still reviewing everything, and there's no time line for its release. joining me now charlie kirk,

founder and president of turning point usa. charlie, what's going on here? >> well, yeah, the buried lead there is if there's a lot to review probably and there's a lot that they don't want actually being put in the public. think about the things the media was enthusiastic that got leaked or revealed the last couple years. the president's tax returns illegally, the president's phone calls, president trump, not to mention the supreme court leak with dobbs but we're not allowed to see the manifesto? there's been major pushes by the media for transparency over the years, that democracy actually hangs in the balance. but we know why they don't want this to be made public, because there might be evidence that number one this was a hate crime inspired by a trans ideology against christians. number two, there might be further evidence that this person was wrestling and struggling with this ideology. that this was something that might have -- outside influences might have come in maybe tik tok or social pressure. we don't know i'm speculating. but the more the government is

refusing to release this manifesto, it begs the bigger question, what are they trying to cover up and why. >> laura: isn't the washington post's motto, democracy dies in the darkness, right? >> yeah. >> laura: in the hours after the shooting charlie the media was already as you remember downplaying the manifesto. >> this person had a so-called manifesto that maybe sounds like a kind of glorifying world which was probably just a screed in a journal. >> the word almost legitimizes what they're doing as if it's a legitimate political stance or something. >> it might not make sense to a lot of people. likely not. >> laura: charlie are you surprised here? >> i'm not surprised but i'm of course disappointed. you know, if they would have found in that manifesto something about the great replacement theory or white identity politics this would be made public. we know that from the buffalo shooter and a homicidal maniac

in south carolina. we know that where the media calls for release but they do day after day after day of headlines talking about how these ideologies are creating crisis. but when it's an ideology they support by the main stream media and government they're actively involved in covering it up. glad we're talking about it so thank you laura. we have to keep asking the questions and eventually when enough time passes and they have no more excuses, if nothing is done, house republicans need to subpoena these documents for the fbi to make this manifesto public. it is the priority right up there with all the other oversight that jim jordan and the other house republicans are doing. >> laura: they certainly got that 21 year old air force guardsman they found him pretty quick off discord. they got on that fast didn't they? charlie thank you >> from trans killers to trans influencers. anheuser-busch is in damage control you all know that after making dylan mulvaney one of the new faces of bud light.

budweiser is trying to go back to its roots now releasing a new patriotic add features its iconic clydesdale horses. this is a pathetic attempt at pandering to middle america. it only came after the beer giant lost nearly $5 billion in market value. you would think with a company on the run, conservatives would capitalize on this. think again. the national republican congressional committee released an innocent tweet taking a shot at bud light. but once they found out that anheuser-busch was one of its biggest donors the tweet was deleted, bought and paid for by the people who hate their base. thankfully there are conservative groups like consumers research that just launched something called woke alert and it's going to warn consumers each time a company does something as alienating as anheuser-busch did with bud light. here now is will hill, consumer research's executive director. will, why does the national gop

and some prominent figures, i know don trump jr. is against taking any action against anheuser-busch. why are they so scared of this? >> well, unfortunately, we've seen time and time again a lot of these companies donate to republican candidates and institutions for this exact reason. so they can get away with serving woke activists and woke politicians and run to those people for defense. which is why we launched woke alerts, we're not beholdened to corporations we don't take corporate money we're supported by consumers around country and that allows us to go hard against these companies when they betray their consumer base like budweiser did today. >> laura: the ceo of anheuser bush released a statement that read in part we never intended to be part of a discussion that divides people. we're in the business of bringing together people over a beer. doesn't really say anything but your reaction. >> flat-out lie.

they clearly intendeded to jump into this debate and now they want to pretend like it's the consumer that has a problem, that people need to stop overreacting and we've seen this over and over and over again. corporal culture now sees it as their job to tell their customers how they should live, what they should think, what they should do. and that's why we launched the consumers first initiative when i first came on this show two years ago to push back like american airlines nike and coca-cola and that's why we launched woke alert. consumers have power, they feed the money into these cooperationr corporations and without their support they can't continue to go which is why they try so hard to be va indicate and act like it was an accident when the truth is they've been pushing this all the time. >> laura: will thank you. now plus size travelers are mad they want free seats from airlines and a hollywood star finds that building affordable housing can be a money pit. raymond arroyo's going to er.. explain it. seen and unseen is next.

>> laura: it's time for our seen and unseen segment why we reveal the stories behind the headlines and for that we turn to fox news contributor raymond arroyo. raymond, joe biden is weighing in on protecting the integrity of female sports competition. >> laura, there's a pending house bill that requires any school receiving federal funding to prohibit biological males from competing against female athletes. today the biden administration said the president would veto that bill should it pass congress. listen to how democratic congresswoman katie porter tried to talk away the concerns of swimmer riley gains on the march show. >> riley is speaking up for herself and that is her prerogative. >> i think she's speaking up for pretty much every female athlete in the world. >> liberalism was let's give the women an equal shot. this is let's put a male in the swimming pool. >> you guys sound kind of old.

>> what? >> you just played the h card. you were like our argument sucks because we're old. >> i didn't say that. >> that's getting so boring. >> nobody including riley gains who i disagree with strongly. >> what do you disagree with out of interest? >> i think that what she has done is try to turn this -- we talk about people using things to kind of get likes and get clicks. >> now, laura, katie porter has a lot of nerve claiming that riley gaines is looking for likes and clicks. this was porter during the speaker's vote, okay? was her reading the subtle art of not giving an f on the house floor to prepare for her meeting with constituents or was that a cheap likes and clicks ploy. i realize porter's not exactly swimming lapse but when an actual swimmer like riley gaines or any woman say they're being

treated unfairly one would expect a female politician to listen to those concerns you would think. >> laura: her best response to maher and this is just to say what, you're old? >> you're too old. >> laura: i think that's just pathetic. she's not a feminist, okay? piers morgan destroyed her. he destroyed her in that conversation. >> if trans athletes want to compete, there needs to be a stand alone trans athletic association. they can compete there or with their biological -- >> laura: i don't even want to argue this point. this is so obvious. it's just pathetic. from someone full of hot air to flying in the air while plus size jalen an online influencer created a petition demanding the faa protects large travelers. >> she wants the faa to compel the airlines to accommodate all

plus-size travelers with an extra seat or two or three. she's even taken her case on line. watch. >> travel might look a little different for us plus-size folks but it's still possible. the airlines should do a better job accommodating, until then i'll keep shouting my message from the roof tops. you deserve to travel just as much as anyone else. >> yeah, the airlines are just going to give you extra seats outs of the kindness of their heart. i got to tell you, i'm very concerned about her inviting this kind of scrutiny. they're already weighing everything you bring onto the plane. you don't want them weighing the customers. this could be -- end very badly for everybody. go ahead. >> laura: ray mopped this reminds me of how you always try to sneak your roller bag onto the plane when we're at lax. >> it's regulation ingram, it's regulation. >> laura: and raymond gets stopped by sky valets with a

fake uniform. raymond is always arguing. raymond is very fit and trim, okay, so you should get a break because you're fit and trim and bring that oversized suited case onto the plane. >> and sandwich it into the seat next to me so it spills to the side of my partner in the row. with spring break travel it seems like everyone is pissed off about everything. the pitcher of the toronto blue jays took to twitter to complain about a united asked to clean up the mess his child left. are you kidding me, he wrote. i'm sorry laura if our children were eating popcorn when they were smaller or anything else in a public place and dropped it we picked it up. the stewards are not your cleaning service. i don't know why he's bent out of shape. it's called cleanliness. >> laura: the worst is when people bring things with lots of sauces that tends to ooze onto the seats.

someone should just disabuse them of the notion the armrest stotts the splatter of the poo-poo platter. the poo-poo platter still splaters with the armrest down so don't bring the nacho sue prepares on the plane. tell us the story about brad pitt and those rotted houses in nowhere else. >> this is an unbelievable story. after hurricane katrina actor brad pitt through his make it right foundation raised about $27 million to build a community with environmentally conscious new homes. >> this is working. it will get done. it has to be a long term project for it to work. there's no turning back. >> according to the times, the homeowners would like to turn back. some of the environmentally sound houses started to leak and black mold appeared, within a few years some homes were rotting. the residents sued make it right and the organization agreed the pay 107 residents $20 million in damages for workmanship on the houses. the residents so far have not

received one penny. pitt's make it right and a group called global green say they have to raise the money but according to the times pitt is too busy to do so. i guess make it right did it wrong laura. don't want to be in one of those housess >> laura: can't he serve half of that french estate they have, 200 acres or whatever? he could easily raise the 20 million important that, no problem, that's like a $40 million estate. >> one would think so. >> laura: raymond thank you we'll see you in person on wednesday >> up next and this is not an exaggeration about the story we're about to tell you. the biden administration has been in essence supplying child slaves to american corporations. now it's happening by way of the mexican cartels. where's the kids in cages outrage while the stunning details in moments. stephen miller's here so stay there.

♪ >> laura: when donald trump successfully stemmed the tide of illegals threatening our boarders the administration was cast as evil and worse for the family separation policy. we begin this afternoon with the wales of children. >> the president who traumatized little children. >> babies in jail. >> the images suggest those of

concentration camps. >> i call this a concentration camp for kids. >> i know children are being marched away to showers just like the nazis. >> the statue of liberty i think is weeping right now. >> laura: don't put your tissues away yet gayle because a report in the new york times today revealed the biden administration allowed children crossing the border to become, in essence, endeny steward servants to american corporations and businesses. and they were put in some of the most dangerous jobs out there. and team biden's reaction? the white house and federal agencies were repeatedly alerted to signs of the children at risk. the warnings were ignored or missed. the administration officials who repeatedly ignored the warnings, susan rice, biden's domestic policy visor and health and human services javier bow scare a. joining me now stephen miller former senior advisor to president trump. you were at the receiving end of

all the kids in cages outrage and at the time obviously keeping people separated seemed to make sense because, you know, you couldn't hold children for any length of time in facilities with adults, that would be dangerous. but you guys were hammered for that. and now we have slave labor courtesy of the biden administration. >> right. well you summed it up perfectly laura. as you know well, the policy of the government across all crimes is that if a parent commits a crime, they're held at a different setting their hurricane minor relatives. of course in many cases these individuals are being trafficked into the country and they were being sold into slavery and we saved those children and saved their lives and saved 'em from those ravages. now you have the biden administration come in and they adopt a policy of universal resettlement. so every single 17 and under who touches u.s. soil gets resetled in the country. but with whom are they being

resetled? as this expose makes clear, with human traffickers, with child labor traffickers, and with those who are putting these children into modern-day slavery. the biden administration was warned this was happening by whistle blowers up and down government and they ignored those claims because they were so determined to get these bodies into the country as fast as humanly possible. >> laura: but they were supposed to be the party for children, stephen. they were for the kids: >> they are for getting cheap labor into the hands of massive corporations and they are for satisfying the demands of their far-left open borders base to accelerate illegal immigration into this country. if you remember, back in the beginning of this administration in 2021 when i had -- you had kids piling up on top of each other, what did the biden administration do?

did they return to the trump policy? >> laura: no. >> returning aliens to their home country? no. they chose to cut the vetting, to cut the security, to get rid of the enforcement procedures and get these children into the country in the most rapid fashion possible, and that's why this happened. >> laura: and it's more happening as title 42 goes away it's going to be an absolute catastrophe. stephen i want to turn quickly to tucker's big interview with elon musk. here's what he says liberals are happening to ai. >> what's happening is they're training ai to lie. >> laura: exactly right and withhold information. >> to lie and, yes, i'm worried about the fact that it's being trained to be politically correct which is another way of being untruthful, saying untruthful things, so that's a bad time. >> laura: so ai's going to be like a smarter university professor but just as biased. >> woke ai is truly the most

terrifying development of the 21st century. if you thought big tech censorship was bad, if you thought big tech election interference was bad, if you thought big tech invading our privacy was bad, just wait until you have an all-powerful all-seeing artificial intelligence that is programmed with the ideology of a brown university professor. >> laura: stephen, this sounds horrific. thank you so much, good to see you. >> all right, when we come back, leave it to pete tries to impress. whom does he try to impress? we'll tell you next.

you want a loan to build a factory in america? you can't do that. this is what we were up against. nobody builds factories in the us anymore. you can't do that. experts claimed you couldn't do what we did. you want to hire workers here in the states? you can't do that. weathertech has been proving them wrong, for over 33 years. building our own factories, employing thousands, and making world-class products, right here in america. because when you buy something made in america...we all win. weathertech.

. >> laura: mayor pete tried really really hard to show al sharpton he'll say just about anything to be liked, wee a crisis when it comes to roadway fatalities, black brown americans tribal residents and rural residents much more likely to lose their lives whether in a car or as a pedestrian being hit by a car.

there are a lot of reasons relateded to discrimination, related to even the ways that roads are designed and built. >> greg: that's why he was a rhodes scholar. i get it. such a bad joke. america now and forever. up next, greg gutfeld and the gang, they take it from here. ♪ [cheers and applause] ♪ ♪ >> greg: ha ha, oh, yeah! oh, yeah! yeah, yeah, just like that. don't stop. yeah. happy monday, everybody. so anheuser-busch could really use a drink right now. and something stronger than bu
