>> all right, a programming note. we have a live audience show this wednesday. tickets are free. go to hannity.com to register. by the way, i promise you'll have fun. that's all the time we have left this evening, and we hope you set your dvr so you never, ever, ever miss miss an ep -- episode of "hannity." fox news.com, hannity.com. let not your heart be troubled. laura has a big show tonight. >> do you wear ties any longer? or is it always going to be tieless for you from now on? i'm trying to figure it out. sometimes you revert back to your professional days when you wore ties, are but now you are just doing the casual sean hannity look, and i'm trying to figure out why that is. hmm. >> i have been trying to avoid management making a comment on this, and all you do is rat me out every night. >> yeah. >> i'm hoping they don't notice. >> yeah, well, and he has gym shorts on under that. >> sweatpants pants close.

>> i'm laura ingram and this is the ingraham angle. the angle is in moment. i couldn't believe this story when it broke. it is truly out of this world. it is hard to think of anything that is frank -- frankly more significant than this. according to what is an explosive expose in the publication "the debrief" a former whistleblower gave congress and the inspector general extensive, classified information about deeply covert programs that he says possessed retrieved and in tact and partially in tact craft of non-human origin. this whistleblower is not a ku -- kook. he is with the national geospatial intelligence agency

and recognizance office. in that office he served as the represent -- representative to the unidentified aerial task force. here he is in his own words. >> when you say retree value, what do you mean? >> non-human technical vehicles, call it spacecraft if you will. no kidding, non-human, exotic origin vehicles that have either landed or crashed. >> are they electric vehicles? no. like other whistleblowers we heard from of late, the government bureaucracy will undoubtedly try to discredit the account. anticipating the fallout, he is warning that such ongoing government denial of the arms race he calls it, would be extremely dangerous foreman kind, inhibiting our ability to be prepared for an unexpected, non-human intelligence contact scenario. joining us now is a former

f.a.a. teen pilot for the navy who came across these type of aircraft. i was stopped today in everything i was doing when this came out late today. do you agree that at this point this is about safety and our own national security at this point? >> absolutely. it has never stopped being about our national security. what david has been able to do and the courage he has been able to demonstrate coming forward is what congress was hoping for when they enacted laws in the last national defense authorization act to enable just this. >> now, what you saw when you were on the f-18, when you were a pilot on the f-18, describe for us specifically. >> certainly. we were flying off the coast of virginia beach on a daily basis, and we started noticing on our

radar, on our camera systems and eventually our eyeball what's appeared to be dark gray or black cubes inside of clear, trans louse sent -- trans louse sent spheres. they were between 250 and 350 knots and performing meandering maneuvers or even straight maneuvers upwards of supersonic. this actually lines up quite well with what dr. sean kirkpatrick has recently communicated being the most prevalent object in his research, spherical objects that travel from 0 to 2 knots. >> the government has had to slowly reveal they are unidentified objects and they can't say what they are, but they are not regular. their justification essentially

for not being forthright is national security, correct? >> certainly. not from the angle of we are going to hide what is on our camera systems, but the fact that our cameras can see certain things or our radars can detect certain objects in certain ranges, that's the reason it has been explained why these videos and these images have been classified to the level they have been. >> right -- i'm sorry. i want to play a little more from this whistleblower and let you finish your thought. >> we have spacecraft from another species. >> we do. >> how do you approach that? >> quite a number. >> this is something people would waive off as an insane asylum person for just speculating about a few years ago. now, oaker yeah -- oh yeah, a lot of these. what is the average american

supposed to think about the government's credibility on this issue given now what we are discovering, albeit belatedly. >> well, i think the average person right now just needs to sit and wait a little bit and see this process play out. david has provided a number of documents and pieces of evidence to my knowledge that congress can then validate and then they will be in a position to communicate that information to the american people. i truly believe that transparency is the only way this conversation is gonna be resolved and this is a great step forward in that direction. >> well, and certainly congress has to be briefed on this regularly. you can't keep this information from congress. i don't believe there is any justification for doing that. ryan, i can't wait to find out more. thank you for joining us tonight. and now, down to business. that's the focus of tonight's angle. to all of you outside washington , you sane people out

there, it may seem really odd that a large portion of our business community supported joe biden in 2020 and still support him now. our gdp, corporate profits, consumer spending and investor confidence, they were all strong under donald trump until essentially the pandemic hit. by the end of 2020 things were poised for a rocket-like recovery, but of course we know what happened next. >> everything is falling and it keeps happening. check out some of the stories from today. biden's high interest rates and stay at home slackers pushed a significant spike in delinquencies in mortgage bonds that are tied to office buildings. and now investors have been

watching for this since last summer and they say this may represent a tipping point for our economy. and this warning from macy's about consumer spending, they missed their quarterly sales estimate. we are also seeing reports that u.s. hotel developers are running out of cash as construction lending is drying up. now, this is grim. why does big business have such a man crush on the shuffler in chief? doesn't this mean we need at this point a more establish-style republican? friendly to the pro-china wall street crowd to compete against joe biden? how did that work out for republicans when we nominated the consanant mitt romney? we saw jeb bush, ted cruz and john kasich and others run more a pro-big business platform, and even pro-globalization platform and they all failed.

and now we have nikki haley and tim scott and now mike pence running on the same platform. again though, where is the enthusiasm for any of their policies? this is why the left is so scared of both trump and desantis. they represent a different world view. back when ronald reagan was running the battle against jimmy carter, the business community was truly terrified about what was happening to the u.s. economy. but today, our fortune 500ceo's, they are not sweating high taxes, especially with republicans in charge of the house. these days taxes and regulations, they are in -- they are a much bigger headache for middle class drivers than the 1%-ers. if you really want to understand the political mindset of our wealthiest business leaders today, you needed to watch the private jet traffic to shanghai into beijing the past few weeks. >> call it a ceo parade in

china, leaders of some of america's biggest companies are there this week. >> starbucks ceo is in town, and this follows a string of recent visits over the last few months from the leaders of apple, samsung, aramco, volkswagen, the list goes on. >> jaime diamond is in shapbg -- shanghai as well. >> the chinese defense, musk said he opposed decoupling, describing the country as inseparable, like, quote, conjoined twins. tesla did not immediately respond to our request for a comment. >> maybe with the exception of musk, i think all of those ceo's would prefer biden over trump or desantis. not much of the business community is post-american. they are focused on max -- maximizing profits on the rules-based order. even if that ends up shafting american workers in the process. they don't care. they have no problem using slave labor in china to make their goods, and they like the prices

china pays for their own intellectual property. and even when china buzzed our surveillance plane and made aggressive moves on the bow of a u.s. naval vessel, biden continues, most embarrassing thing i have ever seen, to publicly grovel in front of china. >> yeah, i think the fact we were able to get two officials to beijing while we are talking is a good sign. we want to keep those lines open. it is important. especially, as i said now. >> so the message is clear. if you want closer relations with china in 2025, you better be supporting biden and the democrats. now, of course business also loves the open border, more immigration, sanctioning policies, whatever brings an unlimited supply of cheap labor they will be for. oh, and on the wokeness front, let's not stop there. let's drop the notion that the left is bullying big business into moving to the left on all of these cultural issues. that's a lot of nonsense. yeah. there are a lot of corporate

chieftons who are scared and as scared as they are rich, and they don't have the stomp -- stomach for a fight with the drag queen lobby. it is just as likely the ceo's themselves are simply becoming more woke. these companies are lead by executives who went to the same elite left wing schools as their friends in the media. these people aren't adopting dei and spreading cultural leftism because it makes them money. in many cases it doesn't. they hr doing it because at some point they end up believing it. this all means the gop needs a plan b. a multi-ethnic coalition of working class voters, voters who care about economic growth and are wary of china and worried about a maxist society turning it upside down. and a fight over abortion and transgenderrism on its own? i think it is still what the democrats are hoping for because

they know they are gonna lose an economic debate. they want to stay as far away from that as possible. they know america is getting poorer. they know we are getting weaker. democrats all know it, but they just don't care. they would much rather spend their time discussing climate change or how love is love. republicans who stay stuck in that quicksand exclusively are gonna struggle to climb out. the candidate who keeps the focus on the practical can however breakthrough. so this is really not the time for vague discussions about freedom, you know, like this is 1984 or even 2004. this is a time for pragmatic solutions. it is time to drop the gnaw stole -- the nostolgic campaigns and that's the angle. joining me is chief political correspondent for "the washington examiner." steven miller seen yes, sir advisor to president trump and

founder of america first legal. molly, why do you think there are so many republicans, many recently jumping into the race, who are still pursuing this antiquated passe mold of republicanism that has been rejected time and again on the national front? >> well, it really is something that they were so familiar with for so many decades. we have this period of time from the 50s to the 80s and you would hear people say what is good for general motors is good for america. a lot of corporations were involved in the cold cold war against the soviet union. the corporation and their support of free markets aligned with republican interest as well. we are really far away from that and we have had a lot of elections to see how much that old coalition has broken down. some people are apparently slow learners. >> nikki haley came after desantis during her cnn town hall over his feud with disney and then desantis decided he was

going to hit back. >> here you have desantis who accepted 50,000 in political contributions from disney, but because they went and criticized him, now he is going to spend taxpayer dollars on a lawsuit. >> how utterly bizarre. somebody does a campaign continue -- contribution and you are supposed to lay down? that's not how i operate. >> you walked right -- he walked right into that trap. >> and he has a real point. this fight inside the republican party has been going on for a longtime. you mentioned mitt romney. he did a campaign that was totally out of touch and talked about how all americans are entrepreneurs and he was a venture capital sort of guy. but at the same time there was another candidate named rick sontorom who said there is a lot of blue collar workers who don't own their own company and they didn't start their own company. they get a paycheck like everyone else. trump just blew everything up.

and now we have really seen an enormous change where the big corporations which as molly said used to be thought to be completely republican have gone so woke and republicans have an opportunity. remember, donald trump in 2016 won pennsylvania, wisconsin and michigan and nobody thought you could do that. >> steven, this multi-ethnic coalition and the possibility of it is a beautiful thing. it brings people together on thf agreement that cut across -- and in all of these categories we obsess on all day long, trump really tapped into that and was i think going to explode that old notion of republicanism if he got a second term. how important is this for whoever the nominee is in 2024? >> well, you're exactly right, laura. president trump created this multi-ethnic working class coalition of blacks, whites, latinos, asians, immigrant

voters, native-born voters who wanted to have a country built around their concerns, and that means bringing our jobs back, that means sealing up the boarder and having an immigration policy that raises wages and not drives them down, and then it also means taking on wall street and the excessive financialization of our economy and the out sourcing that takes jobs away from working people. this has to be the goal, laura. it has to be the mission. you want to take on world corporations, you also have to take on their bottom line and take on the offshoring and take on the out sourcing and take on the sweet deals for wall street. you have working people taking 30%, 40% taxes, but people are taking advantage of our financial system where they can keep their money sheltered for decades without having to pay real income tax. take that on. write to these companies and you will see a working class party, laura. >> molly, this idea that these corporations are gonna get bullied by black lives matter buying these mansions for their

directors and all of these fringe groups, yet they melt into a puddle of goo when g offers you a deal, we will give you 5,000 workers. i have never seen anything like it. they melt in his presence. it is disgusting. i am disgusted by these ceo's, every one of them sorry, including elon musk. >> when we were fighting the soviet union in the cold war, corporations, not that there was no business done with the soviet union, but they really weren't an important part of this. now we are in a serious adversarial relationship with china. the corporations and their leaders -- hindrance into resolving the disputes we have there. and we have these trade disputes where we started trade agreements after world war ii. they need to be updated, but the corporations are resistant to doing that as well. >> byron, don't mean to beat up on elon musk because he is the richest man in the world. they

they are always looking for a save -- savior. there is one savior and he hasn't come back yet. there is no savior. he is dependent on that chinese revenue stream. that is critical to him. is it not? what does that dependency on someone who is our political, military, cultural adversary say about the current state of politics and where we are in the country? >> well, it says -- >> he doesn't make policy. he takes advantage of it. >> it says conservatives shouldn't trust him. you knew ahead of time that he is a billionaire and he can do what he wants. he is not really on your side. i think you made a good point about the culture of people at the highest ranks in our corporations today. look at law schools across america. they are turning out leftists left and left. and so they make tons of money and buy the same products and they vacation in the same places and they have summer homes in the same places. this is a culture that is very

sort of homogeneous and it has moved further and further left. >> steven, the national security advisor jake sullivan, your old pal, was explaining or trying to explain the administration's line that they are trying to walk on china. >> we are for de risking and not for decoupling. we are not looking to decouple our economy with china and end trade between the united states and china, but looking to derisk. we need secure, resilient supply chains and protect our most advanced technologies. >> it is like flying upside down with a reconnaissance aircraft. >> i think derisking is a fancy term for surrendering, laura. the reality is we are dependent on china for our essential needs in this country, our medical needs, pharmaceutical needs, our supply chains. our farmers are dependent on china, our defense industrial

pace and minerals. solar panels are dependent on china. if we don't sever our economic dependency on china, they have an off switch. they have an off switch over the health, the lives and the security of the american people. >> and freedom. >> what could be more important than reclaiming that independence for ourselves? >> panel really quick, i will ask you one yes or no. molly, should the economy be the number one issue in the campaign for any republican? >> american voters repeatedly said yes. >> byron? >> yes. >> steven? >> yes economy? >> it is tied for me. >> it is tied? wokism and the economy? >> sovereignty and the economy. i can't put anything above sovereignty. >> the border, okay. i'll give you the border. i thought you were going to say wokism. great to see you, panel. biden appointee goes to the u.n looking for an international reparations effort. and ireland has called for the killing of hundreds of thousands

of cattle for climate change. bdh explains why. this is a turning point. where's the beef? stay with us. in clinical psychology. i do a lot of hiking and kayaking. i needed something to help me gain clarity. so i was in the pharmacy and i saw a display of prevagen and i asked the pharmacist about it. i started taking prevagen and i noticed that i had more cognitive clarity. memory is better. it's been about two years now and it's working for me. prevagen. at stores everywhere without a prescription. if we want a more viable future for our kids, we need to find more sustainable ways of doing things. america's plastic makers are investing billions of dollars in new technologies and creating plastic products that are more recyclable. durable. and dependable. our goal is a cleaner,

healthier planet for generations to come. for a better tomorrow, we're focused on making plastics better today. before bass pro shops even had a name, before we sold boats, and gear for hunting and camping, before the two shelves of tackle in the back of the liquor store, before the early mornings, and the short nights, before the first road trip, even the first tournament. before all of that, there was fishing, and there was dad. thanks dad, for always making the time to take me fishing.

howard university law professor and biden appointee

justin hansford is calling on the united nations to set up a reparations tribunal, much like san francisco's that he was also involved with. he said it is incumbent on the inter governmental organization to explore options for monetary justice to black americans for slavery. his guide? martin martin luther king, and the "i have a dream" speech. >> over the years it has been dis-- distorted and drained of the true vision. dr. king believed in reparations. after these years it is more clear now than ever before that reparations is what justice looks like in the 21st century. >> here now is congressman byron donald. if anyone is dis -- distorting dr. king's remarks it is the congressman there -- i mean the professor. he seems to be thinking that

saying mlk junior is radical helps his argument. does it? >> that's what he's attempting to do, are but it doesn't make any sense. it doesn't make sense at all. here is the real issue we are having: the democrats have been trying to offer black america a myriad of things through the years. they offer things like, hey, we will protect your right to vote. but when black people go and vote there is no issue with them voting. they say we will make sure you have a future in education, but they keep the kids trapped in the same school. they say we will give you a better economy, but the policy hurts poor people in the country trying to get up the economic ladder. they say they want safe streets, but the streets are riddled with crime. what about reparations? maybe that is the new thing we is -- we have to promise black america. the issue is progressive policies have failed black america time and time and time again and so now this is the latest straw from the radical left trying to offer reparations. >> some are starting to realize this, congressman. last week in chicago some residents shared their outrage

over a $51 million aid package to illegal aliens now in the city. >> how dare this mayor and city council have the guts to give migrants $51 million? we didn't have the luxury or the opportunity to cross the border. >> we have seen more of this angling -- this anger. does this have the potential to change voting habits? i have no idea what that gentleman thinks about reparations. maybe he is for it. the point is he sees that liberal words don't add up to solutions for african-americans. >> i definitely think it does, but this is also now a call to action for republicans. do you have the ability to build relationships with people in the black community to actually hear what is going on in their world and bring the policy solutions that actually would help them?

we have seen it happen before under president trump. blacken unemployment, an all-time low. black wages growing, all-time high. black wealth creation, all-time high. we know we have the policy prescriptions, but you have to go and build those relationships. i think what you are definitely seeing within the black community is black men, they have had enough. they are getting fed up. they are tired of the lies. they are tired of the excuses, and they want to see positive economic changes which is frankly the republican party -- >> do you think california will ever do reparations? don't you think it is dangling, dangling, dangling? do you think they will do it? i say do it and let's see if it works. >> i don't think they will do it now, but that legislation is so crazy they will do something like that, but it won't work. at the end of the day, a man has to work. a man has to work. a man has to earn it for himself. you can't just give it to him. if there is no purpose in the wealth 245 has been create -- wealth in the way it was created

there is no purpose in the individual. >> everybody is gonna start saying where is my -- things are unfair for me. congressman, great to see you as always. and just to get a sense of where this internationalist line of thinking takes is -- takes us, look at what happens when climate crazies dictates your livelihood. remember this angle that they were threatened with forced land forfeitures to satisfy eu admissions targets. that is nothing compared to what is going on in ireland where the government there is reportedly looking at plans to call around 200,000 cows to meet its climate target. if you think the climate fanatics here wouldn't go that far, listen to john kerry a few weeks ago. >> we can't get to net zero. we don't get this job done unless agriculture is front and center as part of the solution. to those in civil society, we have to push more.

we have to be more mill -- militant maybe. we have to get this job done. we have to win that battle. >> why don't you keep your beef first, john. a senior fellow at the hoover institute. more militant, how ironic. i know you are going back to the testimony on capitol hill after the war. this is a war to them though, is it not? >> it is. i don't think john kerry knows the difference between a moment and an almond. this is a top down utopianism. we have to admit the modern world, 99% of the people are not connected in anyway with agriculture. 1% feeds 99%. it is just the opposite of what the world had been until the industrial revolution. and they don't understand, hror -- laura, how precious and fragile agriculture it. sri-lanka decided to listen to

elites like john kerry they have get rid of phosphates and they almost sta -- starved to death. for 1% to support 99%, you remember michael bloomberg, he blew up his campaign. he said you drop a seed in the ground and it sprouts. it is a sim police -- simplistic ideal and the tragedy and the difficulty farmers have to produce food for the rest of us. all of these utopian projects whether it is international paris accord or the commission on human rights, they are dreamed up by western elites from constitutional society, but the logic is we are going to get everybody involved and that means equal representation for china or russia or socialist government that don't have any of the same values. and so they never work. the league of nation never worked and the u.n didn't work and climate accord paris didn't

work. none of them worked. this is going to be a western dominated phenomenon and china and russia will say keep going this. is great. you -- this is great. you will just destroy your society. >> victor, you and i know because we have been doing politics for so long. rules, the no beef and this, it will never apply to the elites. they will have their pick of whatever they want to eat. the little people, let them eat grasshoppers, right? that's where they want it. it is not for the little people. >> we saw it in sri-lanka. the people were starving until they rioted and marched on the capitol and fight against the president who thought it up. it falls on the average middle class person. it doesn't mean these people are not dangerous, and if they get their way they don't care about the middle class. they would rather be politically correct and bring ruin than politically incorrect than have bounty and prosperity.

>> people want these policies to keep the guy in the white house in the white house. victor, thank you very much. and now obama is back and not in the way you think or want. plus, what -- why are viewers of "the little mermaid" up in arms? that's next.

>> foreseen and unseen, we reveal the stories behind the headlines and fox news contributor raymond royo. raymond, there has been a lot of talk about mike pence and chris christie entering the presidential sweeps. what is happening on the left may be a little more fascinating. >> laura, look, there is a clearly growing disenchantment of joe biden as the democratic candidate. rfk, junior has jumped into the race. he did a big twitter interview. and now cornell west is throwing his scarf into the presidential ring. >> in these bleak times, i have

decided to run for truth and justice which takes the form of running for president of the united states as a candidate of the people's party. neither political party wants to tell the truth about wall street, about ukraine, about the pentagon, about big tech. do we have what it takes? we shall see. >> we shall see indeed, laura. look, this is a threat to the president. as an african-american leader here, he is challenging him in a third-party run. biden needs black voters to win the election. black america has been taken for granted and nobody else is talking about these issues. both rfk, junior and cornell west are going to push issues that biden has been trying to cover up for years. >> biden has never -- yeah. biden is never going to debate them and the media will do their best to ignore them. i have to say cornel west ticked

off these issues and i'm thinking surveillance state, pentagon, ukraine, i agree with him on probably all of those issues. he used to come on the radio show awhile ago -- >> he has been on this show with us, laura. and rfk, junior is going down to the border for three days, something biden doesn't want to talk about. we'll see if the democratic party begins to look a new at these issues and if they make a difference. >> never. >> the president had a big campaign event. he was campaigning to get a ball into a cup without falling over. biden and his brother, jim, hit the greens. the sitting president seems a little less busy than the guy who can no longer run for president you might remember. >> do we have speed? let's go. first job, baskin-robbins in honolulu, hawaii. secretly i was convinced i would be an nba player, but i had no hops. my favorite job was being president of the united states. favorite way to relax after a

long day at work, a cold martini and sitting outside if it is nice and chatting with my wife. >> now, laura, do we actually believe that he considers that relaxing? i'm not gonna get into it. he and michelle have produced the netflix show with obama exploring the lives of american workers. this is like king charles hosting a documentary on welfare recipients. you know, obama and workers. what is next? chuck norris on the lives of drag queens? they have nothing in common. >> i think we are seeing way too much of all these people. he's becoming like, you know, meghan and harry. it is too much. we get it. haven't you heard enough? didn't we do that in the obama diaries, raymond? didn't we cover all that? >> they have the netflix deal, laura. >> that's right. as long as we're talking about a fish out of water thing, disney's new live action "the little mermaid" is ruling at the

box office, but what about the reception it's getting? is it all wet, ray -- raymond? >> some complained the new adaptation fails to capture their favorite characters like sebastian, the sea crab. he doesn't look lovable or sweet or the seagull. the reaction from fans has been hostile and voluminous that the internet movie database site is changing its rating system. they claim, quote, when unusual voting activities are detected an alternative weighing calculation may be applied in order to preserve the reliability of our system. in other words, "the little mermaid" is not getting the reaction they would like so they are changing the rules. isn't that nice? >> are they saying the system is rigged? no. you can't do that. maybe the audience though is on to something, raymond. >> ♪ >> i remember. ♪ the guy with the hair and the

shirt? >> the prince ♪ ♪ yeah the prince has been dropping in ♪ ♪ he wants to -- you know when humans dress all nice like penguins ♪ >> that's terrifying. >> that is painful. >> is that supposed to be on key? >> that is the new lynn manual song. he wrote the rap lyrics and they took out one of the classic songs where the chef chases the crab all over the kitchen. that's been thrown out for this. i think they should have left it as it was, as a cartoon. >> it becomes to look like a sick seagull. that was a scary vision. i'm gonna have a nightmare. thank you for that. >> always. >> elections have consequences. the midwest is a frightening example. i was republican governor kim reynolds will explain what i'm -- iowa republican governor kim reynolds will explain.

not too long ago, minnesota and iowa generally tracked each other politically and culturally. in the last few years they ended up on radically different ends of the political spectrum. iowa under the leadership of kim reynolds, instituted universal school choice. and now they are the number one

state for fiscal responsibility and they banned transgender surgeries for minors. compare that to minnesota under the disastrous governorship of tim walls. the state declared itself a refuge for transgender surgeries and therapy for minors while making gender surgery publicly funded. that's not all, kids. other new laws allow people to obtain driver's licenses and access the publicly-run insurance program regardless of immigration status, and minnesota students who are undocumented will be eligible for the state's tuition free college program. talk about a magnet at the border. maybe they should take care of their own students first. the average s.a.t. score for 2022 minnesota high school grad dropped to its lowest point in at least a decade. but maybe their streets are more safe in minnesota? well, wrong. violent crime has increased 7.2%

in 2020, 21.6% in 2021. joining me now is iowa governor kim reynolds. governor, good to see you. some people forgot i think that obama won your state two times. and now things are changing. things have changed. what lessons can republicans in states like minnesota take from your own political and also economic turn around. >> yeah. i'm really proud of what we are doing in iowa. i can say republican-lead states across the country are implementing similar policies, while they are doubling down on radical liberal policies in minnesota and seeing businesses and minnesota ans leave their state, we are actually cutting taxes and regulations. we are keeping spending in check we are keeping our community safe. we actually back law enforcement and support them. we are reducing the size of government instead of increasing the size of government and

empowering parents. we provided universal school choice and protecting our children. it is paying off. we are seeing net migration into the state for the first time in decades. you can see illinois and california and new york and minnesota, they are fleeing and going to republican-lead states. it matters. it is making a difference. >> governor, when you see, you know, everything developing on the presidential front and i know you are not going to go out on a limb on this, but do you think that the economy, inflation, prices, you know, people's standard of living which is declining, should that really be the focus of the republicans' run in 2024 to capture more voters this time around? >> again, it is a stark contrast. look, we have sky rocketing inflation. people are struggling living paycheck to paycheck. it increases the sales tax and the gas tax and added a deliverable tax. we are doing just the opposite. i signed three tax cuts into law at the end of this legislative

session and reducing our property taxes and cutting them by $100 million. i have gone from the 6th highest to the fourth lowest and we are going to 3.9% flat tax. we no longer tax retirement income. it is a stark contrast to what we are seeing in blue states and we are feeling the impact of that. people are leaving in droves and coming to republican-lead states. >> i mean, it is so obvious. we are seeing it. the numbers -- oh the numbers don't lie, except they think they do lie. governor, we are so proud of what you have done in iowa and you are also a really nice person on top of it which is hard for poll session -- politicians. >> i want to tell you real quick. >> we have a hard break. can you tell me -- call me afterwards. >> an interest -- introduction to the angle's newest member. next.
