>> sean: monday, we'll have a live audience show for you. did you all have a good time? go to hannity.com and the tickets are absolutely free. that's all the time we have this evening. please set your dvr, never miss another episode of "hannity." let not your heart be troubled for the great laura ingraham is next. what did you want to say? >> laura: okay! you guys... first of all, how many shots of los amigos did you share ton tonight? >> sean: i know you have a great show tonight. >> laura: you didn't answer my question. how many shots did you actually pass out tonight to get the audience so jazzed? you are very dangerous generous though.>> laura: i've .

we'll see you the week after. i'm laura ingraham. this is "the ingraham angle" from washington tonight. thanks for sharing time with us tonight. now we thought we had reached across the aisle tonight and try our hand at jazzing up biden's 2024 pitch to the voters. first i was thinking that the man needs a campaign theme song come doesn't he? one that reflects the energy he brings to the job every day. >> ♪ i don't need your rocking chair ♪ ♪ i still got neon in my veins. this gray hair don't mean a thing ♪

>> laura: not at all. president biden needs a message that promotes his stellar commitment to growth and prosperity. >> the reason i'm running again is because the job needs to be finished. >> u.s. gross domestic product slowed to an annual rate in the first quarter. economists have been expecting a growth of 2%. big morgan stanley expects the contract by 2%. >> you've got interest rates that have been going up for a year now, decrease in inventory investments. that's businesses pulling back. >> laura: mail what down? middle-class workers, under biden if you like they are being crucified. if things do not improve, the old biden voters are going to have a real decision to make. it is not easy to vote for decline against your economic interest. late tonight, even the folks

over at politico couldn't help but state the obvious. writing, unfortunately for biden it's not morning in america at least from an economic perspective. it's like late afternoon. especially since real cases aren't keep keeping up with the obscene cost-of-living fear and workers are losing hope as fast as the white house is losing credibility. believes that he needs to continue and deliver for the american people. you hear them talk about his economic policy, how that has enabled him to build an economy from the bottom up and middle out. we are going to do the job in finishing up the agenda he laid out in 2020. >> laura: bottomed up, hollowed out. the agenda she's referencing can be summed up in the acronym spd. scarcity, poverty, depravity. learn to live with less, travel less, expect less.

lower the bar for everyone including the administration because they speak to us as if we are deaf, dumb, blind. like we don't actually experience the misery that their policies have created across the board. >> our country is back on track. the children are back in school. the economy is coming along. infrastructure is being built. broadband is being delivered. we rescued this economy. our veterans are now back being taken care of. joe biden has put us to where we need to be and i think we need to keep it going. >> laura: keep going where? to the cliffs edge? kids are back in school which mark it's been three years since the pandemic has been declared. they are not finishing the job here. they are finishing us off by demoralizing millions of americans who don't want special handouts. they don't want special

pronouns. they are even punishing those who work hard and play by the rules. the left is always when i was thinking about this today, they've always been threatened by american exceptionalism where everyone is held to high standards. they don't like that. and now the democrats have jumped on board, fully on board the victim train where hard work and talent often go unrecognized and unrewarded. if you don't have the right skin color, the right ethnicity or political ideology, forget about it. their idea of finishing the job means creating a world where your carbon footprint will be measured and your social media presence scrutinized for dangerous misinformation. >> critical thinking and media literacy to disinformation. >> disinformation can leave some individuals to violence. laura: >> laura: are

voting against you? this is all ridiculous. who would vote for this. it's all happy talk in the face of economic news. it's weekend biden playing on a continuous loop. >> the president is an amazing leader and has an incredible economic vision and agenda and that is a vision to rebuild our economy so that everyone is included in the body is left behind. it is just unbelievable what we are accomplishing under the president's leadership. the facts speak for themselves. >> noticed the screen when she was reading, that she really act like she believes that? politico noting that the economy is unwell with the recession worries building across the financial industry and overwhelmingly the consensus is that the economy will struggle this year. with more than a dozen big banks forecasting little or no growth. remember, the mensa members,

they've waved off the session concerns as they were blowing trillions of dollars and are now shoveling hundreds of billions out the door to ukraine. now so lame that newly released video shows that he was pumped by a few russian pranksters who called powell pretending to be the landscape. and talking on the phone today told him that most forecasts call for the u.s. economy to grow, but at a pretty subdued level. so growth at less than 1%, we tell you that a recession is almost as likely as very slow growth. i'm glad he's honest with a fake zelenskyy. and to think it was just five years ago when under trump america was on a roll. >> thrilled to announce in the second quarter of this year, the united states economy grew at

the amazing rate of 4.1%. america is wing again because we are finally putting amer america first. everywhere we look, we are seeing the effects of the american economic miracle. >> laura: today americans are seeing that biden's team is in focus on raising their standing of living. the biden team is focused on remaking the country where illegal immigrant dreamers are valued over native-born americans. imagine if american workers saw their incomes double in the past three years? so the economic debate between the two parties is largely over. we know that biden's policies are going to fail and keep failing and we know that the policies of trump and desantis, they work. they grow jobs, the increased wages, they make homeownership more, not less desirable. but the opposite is happening

under biden. no wonder that the biden white house will talk about anything and i mean anything other than the economy. heck, biden gets stuck by kids these days. >> do you watch the stanley cup playoffs and if you do do you have a favorite team question mike i did and i do, the philadelphia flyers. >> laura: whips. didn't come close to making the playoffs, joe. by contrast, trump had hit the economic nightmare hard today in new hampshire with real solutions about how to start turning things around. >> massive deficits that we've been paying for decades and decades to disappear. i will also revoke china's most favored trade nation status. >> laura: music to my ears.

texas, florida, tennessee, they have smart governors. biden would do what he did, push radical social policy and leave a huge opening for china. it has all happened. the outcome of 2024 and that election is going to depend largely on how many of those suburban women, how many independents that supported biden last time, how many of those hate republicans so much that they will choose more economic pain over a return to prosperity and common sense. my friends, let's not finish off america. let's finish off socialism and stupidity. that is the angle. joining me now as peter schiff, chief economist and global strategist. peter, you been ahead of the curve on this stuff for so long now. what is ahead for us if we keep going down the biden road beyond 2024 for another and i can't believe i'm saying it, for ye

years. >> it doesn't look good and i couldn't help but laugh as you are playing these clips talking about the president's accomplishments in office. he hasn't accomplished anything other than running up the debt, weakening the economy and strengthening inflation. the worst part about the weak gdp numbers that came out today was that the inflation numbers that are part of the gdp in q1 of this year, inflation actually strengthened over the fourth quarter of last year. so not only is the economy weakening but inflation is strengthening. you have the worst of both worlds. it's going to get worse. >> laura: paul krugman over at "the new york times," he's writing that the economy is in better shape than i suspect most pundits and well-informed readers are realizing the america experience a fast job

market recovery for the overall situation is not so bad. peter? take it away. >> the real problem is carl krog has a job. if you look at the jobs, low-paying service sector jobs. people have lost good jobs, high paying jobs with benefits they've been forced to replace them with two or three part-time jobs. that's where all the jobs are coming from. that's what the numbers show for the only reason we create jobs is we are destroying so many good jobs and you need to hobble together two or three part-time jobs to try and replace your lost income. that means we have more jobs. they are not good jobs. people would rather have the jobs they lost than the jobs that they are forced to work. >> laura: we keep going down this road with china and evs, we won't have a car industry anymore but not of the sort that

we've gotten used to. great to see you as always but we got to roll back. wrecking the economy is not the only job that biden wants to finish. also using the climate crazies in his administration to further demolish our military. do you support the military adopting that easy fleet by 2030? >> i do and i think we can get there as well and reducing our alliance on globally traded fossil fuels we know that global event such as the war in ukraine can jack up prices for people back home, it does not contribute to energy security. >> laura: this woman is so stupid. i can't stand stupid people. globally traded fossil fuels? we have all the fossil fuels we need in the united states. she knows nothing about what she's talking about. her brilliant plan is running into a major problem.

charging stations are chargeable awesomelycharging. the enormous costs and uncertainty on the country. the charge and requirements are changing as technology advances. the industry has not settled on a single format installing enough chargers costing effectively without sinking money into something that could be obsolete in a few years is a major challenge. we know it's only a matter of time, don't leave until the biden administration imposes this easy agenda on all military vehicles. february 2022, the army released a climate strategy which includes a fully electric tactical fleet by 2050. joining me now to talk about this is lieutenant colonel daniel davis. senior colonel and military expert for defense priorities. he was second in command of a tank squadron. lieutenant colonel, when i hear

jennifer granholm speaking about military issues i think to myself that that is another first. >> i'm looking at it from an operational perspective and i had engaged in combat operations where it's important to keep and maintain a lot of speed and going over long distances in enemy territory, refueling is a crucial thing because when you run out of fuel you don't get a luxury to go to a gas station. you have to stop and fuel up and you get as little as 30 seconds to make sure you get enough fuel intake to go to the next one. imagine and ev that when you go in that, you aren't going to stop an hour for each vehicle to have that much charging the go forward. i don't see any way in the current technology level that that is anywhere near feasible. >> laura: forcing our military to go electric, with that not be a huge boon to china? we know that they are doing everything for they want to dominate electric vehicles while

also the regular combustion engine vehicles, they also want to dominate that industry and they are moving full force th there. >> they want to dominate them but i hope that they can keep that stuff on the american side and not have to rely on those kinds of external supply change. anything that doesn't take that into account and you set up the potential flexibility for the opponents or if you set up the vulnerability to our military? that's the wrong answer. we need to do everything to set up the military, not expose vulnerabilities. >> laura: don't we have a major recruitment shortfall right now? we depleted our own initiations. javelin missiles are all going to ukraine. we have to replace all of those. and now we want to add yet another burden to our already overburdened understaffed military? >> you said it go so good right there.

too many people think in isolation. not just the ammunition but the fighting vehicles and all the artillery, and all the ammunition on top of the other things you are talking about their and your wanting to throw high speed between now and 2030 to replace almost all the vehicles. >> where are we that money? how much munitions has china hoisted a military conflict? >> they are holding onto theirs. >> interesting how they do that. lieutenant colonel, great to see you. the vaunted brain trust things they have a way to reboot come all of 5,000 what will it take? the results next. some new intrigue in the desantis versus disney lawsuit. see you in a few.

>> laura: note cards. what notecards? the white house, they are still in denial. >> we'll be asking questions in the press conference and issues they may ask about, they may not

have specific questions in advance for that's not something we do. >> it's not normal to get an actual question. i should note that the "l.a. times" denies providing a question ahead of time. so the bigger mystery becomes why was there such a specific question on his little cheat sheet there if there is no there there? here is alcee and then frame the question gate. >> it's not uncommon to brief these kind of materials for the president. worth noting that her question was not identical to what was on that note card. these type of moments are things that republicans have seized on. >> laura: seized on. if you thought the aftermath of question gate, think again. because axios reporting that anita dunn's new focus is repairing kamala harris phosphorus image.

and totally by coincidence, i'm sure, the associated press seen perfectly in sync with that mission, writing that anyone looking for a glimpse of what vice president kamala harris could bring to the campaign trail would have found it this week at howard university. he swaggered, she jabbed. she had inspired. >> is very important every moment in time to see the moment in time in which we exist and are present. and to be able to contextualize it, to understand where we exist in the history and in the moment as it relates not only to the past but to the future. >> she does that wax on wax off thing. she even joked. >> i ran against shelley are from new jersey but, you know,

i'm from oakland. it worked out. >> laura: it's super funny. "vanity fair" joined the party saying, perhaps it was that howard university graduate was back on our home turf. or perhaps it was the subject matter. the vice president was in her element. it's kind of more accurate to say that the press is in its element? being a complete and total lapdog to liberalism? we've got to be fair. we can't criticize kamala harris because she's off limits. >> why do you think racism and sexism are part of it question no question about it. i think she was not as well known before she became vice president and i think that she hasn't got the credit for all she's done. >> laura: i guess shady is back. how original. horace cooper, so now racism and

sexism are the reasons that you cannot really criticize kamala harris who has incredible talent of taking up paragraph or paragraph saying nothing. it's remarkable that this president is setting back the quality and talent perspective that americans have on blacks and on women. he has managed to pick some of the worst choices isn't very, very critical positions. this woman needs help but that help should start with let's tackle a responsibility that she can handle confidently. not the vice presidency. it wasn't even as a senator. you might recall she was one of the first people to drop out of the presidential race. >> laura: a member with "the new york times" at about that campaign?

summing up here but it was basically one of the worst run campaigns. >> it absolutely was. to get to know her was to dislike her. that's not really a winning strategy. >> laura: they are stuck with it. they can't get rid of her. they may not be able to but they may not do the shameful thing of if you and i would see what is obvious for everyone to see that this is the most incompetent vice president that this country has ever had. if we say that, that that is somehow antiwoman or antiblack. this incompetent president has selected so many talentless people. it's remarkable. >> jennifer granholm... you know, at some point you do a arrive at a loss of words. there is nothing to say. but cnn's van jones got that call from anita dunn.

>> she's black. she's asian and running aside the oldest person to ever do it. it's essentially running for president and i think people understand that. i think she understands that. i think she's going to rise to the occasion. >> she's had three years to rise to the occasion. this is way off message. way off message. elect joe biden and when he stumbles and falls down, here is who you are going to get. the american people have already decided that this president is heading into a reelection with some of the lowest approval numbers we have seen. but guess whose numbers are worse. kamala harris's. for him to say vote for him and you are going to get her? that's not on message. >> laura: that doesn't help them. so good to see see you in the

studio. thank you. >> laura: he has >> this isn't how it works. the government can't step in against a private entity and defame them. >> taking on disney is not just petulant but your concern people saying that they are private citizens but is not conservative and quite frankly it's un-american. >> the idea that being pro-business means giving companies their own governments? that is not what a free market is all about. they are upset because they actually have to live by the same rules as everybody else. they don't want to pay the same taxes as everybody else. >> laura: as a legal matter how does holding disney accountable amounts to targeted harassment? joining me now on this the legal merits this case is chris la

landau. former ambassador to mexico as well. does disney have a case here? >> laura, no. disney needs to learn the first rule of holes. if you're in a hole, stop digging. any lawyer who looks at this would say, what on earth are they doing? they are highlighting the fact that they have these special privileges and they entered into these midnight contracts right before their special little district evaporated. and now they are suing to say that these contracts are invalid. how dare they take a look at these contracts. i don't know where disney is going with this. >> what were some of the privileges that they've had under the long-standing agreement? >> they've had a self-governing fiefdom in central florida. you can understand at the time when disney was developing this they were adding a lot of value to florida. but disney had to remember that this is a very special situation and they should've started thinking about that when they

started to get involved in politics. laura, i think this is one of the big things happening in our country. corporations are taking an activist role in politics. this should be a big warning to corporations not to do that. it is not good for the corporations. >> laura: look at what happened to anheuser-busch with the bud light deal. here is how disney is claiming desantis is violating its first amendment rights saying that governor desantis called in the legislature to punish it for its speech, the other installing a governor select oversight board. >> laura, again, i don't know how they can be suing desantis because they are challenging the acts of the florida legislature and they are challenging the acts of this board. >> laura: and another word to cut him down before he announces where the president? >> 100%. i do not think is a proper defendant even on the terms of their own complaint.

>> laura: they don't have standing for the individual? >> is not the person allegedly the cause of the wrongs alleged in the complaint. they wanted this to be disney versus desantis. they are doubling down, laura. it's sad to me. plenty of us grew up with a positive image of disney. our kids have seen it. >> laura: is change dramatically. at one point or the shareholders going to say at what point are you guys doing. do you think more involvement in politics and doubling down on this is good for you as a company? >> laura: a lot of these companies get pressure from the human rights campaign which is extremely well-funded. very well-connected organization and they put norma's pressure on companies. what is your diversity, what are you doing for lgbtq rights and if you don't comply you basically get a check mark against you and they are extremely powerful.

>> there ought to be the loss is a saying actually invested in your company -- >> laura: and you are wrecking it. that's also a time-honored position. everything in our country seems to finish up. to be when they are trying to say that this is conservative to stand up and say we are done with this. >> people talk about corporate whwell therapy disney is saying how dare you disrupt my night our contract with my >> laura: great to see you as always. trying to get creative, how they forced millions of gun owners at a federal registry. explodes their plan and here it is next. stay there.

attack the second amendment. this latest move revolves around something called a pistol race. that basically is an attachment that allows you to fire the gun one-handed. it stabilizes the gun in your hand and made me many disabled vets like to use pistol braces for the ats rule would reclassify pistols that use this brace as short-barreled rifles which means that anyone using one has to register for a federal license. in other words they want to ensure that a new class of gun owners is put on a federal registry. why is that? the atf director went to congress yesterday to defend the move but ran into a buzz saw in my next guest, congressman tom massey. >> what is the punishment of somebody is convicted as a felon as having this piece of plastic?

>> if people are convicted of not following the gun control act, it's a serious felony conviction. >> can you give me the number? is it ten years? >> i believe is a statutory maximum of ten years. >> ten years of owning a piece of plastic that you were told was legal and that you own for a decade and that millions of decades dated? this is what offends the sensibilities of americans. whether they own these are not! do these make the gunfire more rapidly? >> the state -- >> do these increase the muzzle velocity? do these allow -- you aren't answering any questions. do these allow the ch firearm to carry more bullets? >> laura: he couldn't answer that question either, by the way. you just saw congressman tom massey of the house judiciary committee. after embarrassing the atf director you said that they didn't have the authority to put that rule in place.

so why not? how are you going to change that? >> this is what we are talking about, this little piece of plastic. i won't be holding it june 1st because i will be a felon. >> laura: i want to be a felon. this is the big threat. >> this is the big threat to america, a piece of plastic. >> laura: i like that. >> this was the original one. the atf sent letter to the inventor and said that this is legal and you can sell these beer they sold millions of these. they are between 10-40000000 of these in the hands of american citizens. they've been given 120 days to comply or go to prison. there are only about 30 days left on the clock. compliance isn't even possible in 13 states because if you reclassify it as a short-barreled rifle, it's illegal in that state. in the other states where you could do it, you couldn't go into a registry and this is what joe biden wants. he wants 10-40000000 people to

go into a registry by owning a piece of plastic bits be on they'll know how many guns they own. one question is this is explain why this makes it a short-barreled rifle? because you can hold it without breaking your wrist or what? >> they are claiming that people will take this and shoulder it. put it on their shoulder. >> laura: doesn't even look like. >> it's made to go around. it's made to go on your wrist like this. if you go so much and do this, they go you've got a rifle. here's a problem, laura. for ten years they said it wasn't a rifle. law-abiding americans bought them under the direction of the atf. congress hasn't changed the law. biden said we are going to make all these folks -- >> we know why they are doing this. he was so flummoxed and that q

q&a, he needs to fire whoever help prep him. i think it was kamala's person but didn't seem to have the slightest inkling of what this will actually result in four americans or not care. >> also said something there that was news to us. if you so much separate this from the firearm you are illegal. that's a contravention of what his actual rules say but he may have given inadvertently a safe harbor to millions of people. consult your lawyers before you take this advice. >> kids, don't do this at home. >> all you've got to do is separated from the firearm. that's not what the rules say but that's what the atf director said in our hearings. >> there will be litigation, obviously. there will be litigation where they'll take care of this. >> don't think it'll hold up, the rule. but destroy these, throw them away, banned them can restore

your firearm with joe biden. >> today's confirmation of the department of justice inspector general michael horowitz, the federal government search americans 'communications. 3.4 million times under the auspices of the pfizer act and 1 million of those searches were conducted in error. >> the fisa program expires this year. >> the foreign intelligence surveillance act. >> we can do something about this and we should. congressman, great to see you. pushed dell not pushing medical transitions on children. plus the prominent doctor who is calling them out. he's fantastic. stay with us.

>> drag queens on parade and telling stories at arcades, graphic novels across the country. you think i hearing about all the stuff that the nation is beginning to fully embrace the radical left. you'd be wrong. a new nbc poll is wrist feeling that the country is still

right-leaning when it comes to the cultural issues. perhaps not enough for us. but with the percent of americans say that promoting greater respect for traditional values was a more important goal for society while just 42% encouraging greater tolerance was more important. on the question of how has society gone through far in excepting transgender people, 48% said yes, they have gone far while 43% says we haven't gone far enough. it is for those reasons why it is very important to continue telling stories. like the stories on earth in these documents first reported by "the daily caller." they revealed that the gender clinic at seattle children's hospital doesn't just promote these drugs, these few wopurity blockers for young patients, but they don't even list mental health screenings as unnecessary step, as a

progressive quit for giving out these or drugs. and that is -- it fails to mention the mental health services that need to be provided, should be provided. they indicate that, look, it's all optional. they must be sought through outside institutions. the hospital's gender clinic does not offer long term mental health. the most damning aspect is their repeated assertion that the gender clinic does not provide the mental health services according to dr. stanley gold farm. he is a former associate dean for curriculum at the university of spain's school of medicine and the karen pence chair of harm. he said that the notion that those children who are often depressed, anxious, or even autistic that they are not provided with those services in a way that's closely linked with the activities of the gender clinic is appalling. and that, my next guest joining me in a few moments is the most

damning aspect of all of this. before we get to dr. stanley goldfarb, i want to give my thoughts on this. when we think of our children and the development of their brains, most kids, especially young boys, they are not fully developed until they are 25, the idea that we are going to, you know short-circuit their normal developmental process with these severe interventions without even a mental health check? it's... i'm going to say it. it's denominator. dr. goldfarb joins me now. the clinic accepts patients as young as nine. these documents say that again they do not provide long-term mental health therapy. how dangerous is this, dr. goldfarb? >> hi, laura. thank you so much for having me. it's really quite appalling that they would have such a program and say repeatedly over and over again on this algorithm that

they put out for primary care physicians about how to treat children with so-called gender dysphoria. the clinic does not provide ongoing mental health services and this illustrates the real issue of this whole activity united states medicine. it's treated as if it isn't associated with mental difficulties when we know that it -- when studies have examined these children the vast majority of them have all sorts of psychological problems ranging from autism to depression to anorexia, they often have been abused. the notion that they are going to treat them without this ongoing sort of support i think is really short of astounding. >> laura: it's easy to cut to the chase. this seems to me about money. this is an enormous amount of

money, correct? >> certainly the purity blockers and the surgical aspect of these treatments are for pharmaceutical companies to provide the services. >> laura: they make an enormous amount of money on the surgeries. i mean, ongoing mental health care? they don't make much on that but the make an enormous amount of indoctrinating these kids and pushing propaganda. one in four young people by some recent surveys say they identify as either lgbtq or nonbinary? that tells you everything you need to know about the propaganda. dr. goldfarb, sorry we caught you short but will have your back. coming up, biden's cognitive decline getting worse? you be the judge next.

as someone living with type 2 diabetes, i want to keep it real and talk about some risks. with type 2 diabetes you have up to 4 times greater risk of stroke, heart attack, or death. even at your a1c goal, you're still at risk ...which if ignored could bring you here... ...may put you in one of those... ...or even worse. too much? that's the point. get real about your risks and do something about it. talk to your health care provider about ways to lower your risk of stroke, heart attack, or death.

breakfast. can i have a fist bump? >> i had a bacon and cheese on croissant. i mean bacon, scrambled egg and cheese on croissant. >> does not fair, he remembered. a little scrambled, but that is the least of the concerns with joe biden. that's it for us tonight, don't forget your dvr, and gutfeld.
