breakfast with the firefighters. very cool chief eddy robinson down there a salute to you and your department as he fights his fight. thanks for inviting us into your home tonight. that's it for this "special report" fair, balanced and still unafraid. we survived the storm so far. "the ingraham angle" is next. >> ♪ ♪ ♪ >> laura: hi, everyone, i'm laura ingraham. this is "the ingraham angle" from washington tonight. thanks for joining us. all right. my angle exposing our phoney historians will be later in the show. in case you hadn't heard the great trump layer is is beyond reproach. >> right now we have a very aggressive prosecutor in jack smith. the doj would say we pursue justice without fear or favor. is he absolutely doing that. >> laura: and he is not just

unquestionably fair-minded he does cardio and weights. >> his aggressive approach to his personal health and exercise correlates to how he approaches his prosecution and his strategy. >> jack smith deliver donald trump's head as he sits in prison cell for last day. >> laura: these people should consider therapy at this point. the real jack smith is another attack dog in the kennel of anti-trump prosecutors trying to make a name for himself. the one person who counts most now is saying hey, hold your horses not so fast. cannon overseeing the trump's classified documents case slapped down the doj's patently absurd request to file motions under seal. can't have the people knowing anything about this. right? judge cannon is putting smith's team on the spot about its use of the a d.c. grand jury to gather evidence after it already indicted trump in florida using a grand jury in miami.

while the case was brought, remember, in the miami federal district court, after all, so it makes a lot of sense. but a liberal d.c. grand jury is what smith, mr. unassailable prefers. now, of course, the get trump media, which has already tried to discredit judge cannon went bonkers. >> judge cannon is going to make the prosecutors work for every single thing they want to do in this case. >> classified documents case we have a judge who may be a bit of a loose cannon in terms of what the rulings will be, no pun intended. if she persists in refusing to let them make their case, then they likely will have to consider some form of action. >> laura: what is she talking about, action? what type of action? impeachment? now, to quote john macenroe, you can't be serious. >> since the attack on our capitol, the department of justice has remains committed to ensuring accountability for those criminally responsible for what happened that day. this case has brought consistent with that commitment.

>> laura: oh, that commitment? well, there's more we need to know with mr. smith's supposedly unbiased nature. the "wall street journal's" reporting that attorneys who know smith have said that he would feel like he failed if he didn't find charges to bring against a target. now, what does that tell us? attorney general merrick garland knew that he could count on smith to deliver the outcome that he wanted, when he named him the special prosecutor. and let's not forget, this from the "new york times" last year, biden has said privately that he wanted mr. garland to act less like a ponderous judge and more like a prosecutor who is willing to take decisive action. joining us now former deputy independent counsel and former assistant u.s. attorney sol wisenberg. all right, sol, late tonight trump's attorneys filed the response in that d.c. case that reads in part the government seeks to restrict first amendment rights. worse, it does so against this

administration's primary political opponent during an election season in which the administration, prominent party members and media allies have campaigned on the indictment and proliferated its false allegations. your response tonight to that? >> i haven't seen that filing yet. but, i think that former president trump's attorneys are going to have a lot more success and get a lot fairer hearing from the federal court in the southern district of florida than they have gotten so far in d.c. >> laura: well, sol, the issue about president trump not being able to respond in social media, for instance -- and you know his comments on social media can be over the top. you know, i'm coming for you. >> on that particular issue, what's your take because there are civil libertarians out there saying that's restricting first amendment speech. others saying that could be a comment about, you know, other potential witnesses or he could

be sending a signal that would be tampering with a proceeding. what's your take? >> there is an inherent conflict between the kind of gag orders and restrictions on the speech of defendants and defense attorneys and the normal first amendment rights that we have. and, unfortunately, the case law set by the supreme court is unclear on this. they decided on a case-by-case basis. most districts have a rule that says you can't make a statement. a defendant -- no party can make a statement that might impact the administration of justice and that's very lucy goosy. he is going to have to be careful about what he says on social media. and we're likely to see some kind of a ruling very soon from judge whic chutkan in d.c. so stand by because she accelerated the response time. you know, trump's attorneys

would have have a lot more time and they didn't have it here. >> laura: sol, judge chutkan vs. judge cannon those are two different perspectives on federal law, clearly and we're going to see -- we're going to get a lesson in different approaches to judicial interpretation, are we not? >> absolutely. it looks that way. and expect judge cannon to be -- continue to be attacked by some of the people you showed earlier today. they are already talking about oh, we're going to have to move to recuse her. but, really, these federal prosecutors, in most cases, including most high profile political cases are used to getting whatever they want from federal judges because of the way the federal system is heavily slanted in favor of the prosecution. and this judge, in the southern district of florida, judge cannon, is saying, wait a minute: explain yourself. you don't automatically get to put things under seal. you haven't made a strong enough showing. and so she has also said wait a

minute, i want an explanation for why you're using the d.c. grand jury for post indictment matters in florida. so there are two things that she is interested in here. number one, you brought this case in the southern district of florida. why are you using the d.c. grand jury related to that case? number two, once you indict a case, the law says you are not allowed to use the grand jury, use a grand jury to gather evidence for trial. now, there's major exception to that. that exception is if the prosecutor says well, wait, we are looking at further crimes. we might file a superseding indictment. but, judge cannon is saying "i want a public explanation. if you say it's to come use the d.c. grand jury to gather evidence -- >> laura: tell us why. >> tell us why on the record." in a way -- they are very

different cases. but, in a way, it's like the judge did in the hunter biden case in delaware saying wait a minute, i want this clear on the record. so she might end up letting jack smith do what he wants to do, but she is going to make him articulate the reason why. >> laura: wow. >> it's interesting in these political cases citizens learn about stuff that regular -- i have been doing white collar federal defense for 23 years. stuff that regular defendants have to put up with all the time and citizens now see how the system really works and how it is slanted against defendants. >> laura: all right, sol. thank you so much. great to see you don't. now racial activists love to opine, don't they, about the legacy of george floyd. and, sure, while there may be more attention now paid to training police officers and weeding out problem recruits, there's also a dangerous boomerang effect that is terrorizing american cities and businesses, more crime. the mob of at least 1,000 kids and teenagers that swarmed new york city's union square on friday is a case in point.

now, a playstation give away that was, you know, people gathered for, this quickly turned into a violent free for all where police were attacked with bottles, rocks, and fireworks. [chanting.chanting] move back. move back. [chanting] >> arrested for unlawful assembly. >> laura: now, since the surgeo- summer of 2020 a blur of violent crime unrepentant thugs. people who knock over department stores. debeating defenseless women and seniors and sometimes even in broad daylight. the perpetrators almost seem to act as if they are justified, don't they? after all, in our everyone's a victim culture, can you right past wrongs by chuck ago full

water bottle now at law enforcement. even if they're not obviously racist police officers, they are part of a racist organization. now, that's the flavor of the post floyd propaganda that we have seen saturate social media and even at times make its way into school curricula. and even in the cities plagued by crime, liberal mayors are still unafraid to say it like it is. >> police is not going to be age to re -- able to resolve these issues on our own. the level of restraint we saw yesterday by the new york city police department, that could have turned really ugly. young people. we have to, you know, be mindful of that as we bring back order. >> laura: mayor adams, this ririotdidn't turn ugly. it was ugly. rarely for the oppressed and misunderstood. in fact for most, crime pays. now, young people are angry

because they are being taught that their anger is righteous. it's justified and that oftentimes non-minorities just hate them. remember this scene from a florida school last fall where one student felt entitled to tackle a police officer who was working on school grounds? or what happened earlier this year when the teacher had the nerve to take away a student's nintendo switch. but, of course, celebrities and elites, you know, t they are usually unfazed by this behavior because it uneffects them. shocked hurl objects on them on stage ♪ [bleep] >> laura: now, these mega stars, some of whom indulge black lives matter and vilify police themselves, help create this madness. did dough with left wing politicians and woke corporate ceos who were too busy virtue

signaling on race to think about where all of this was going to lead. >> nothing can you do until police come here. >> move. >> hey, don't. >> laura: to a world where criminals fear no consequences and where those who stand up to them are most likely to be prosecuted. that's why last week a deranged felon in california felt totally comfortable targeting a 7-eleven store. one he is suspected of robbing twice before in the same 24 hour period. when two of the workers stepped in to defend themselves and the store, most of america cheered. the video went viral. but in our upside down post floyd world. the store clerks are being investigated. now the left may not have defunded the police, but they helped set a dynamic where suddenly the victims are treated like aggressors and the aggressors as victims. so the message to law-abiding

citizen if you are robbed, or you are threatened, stand by placidly, don't put up a fight, ever. after all, america has a lot to atone for. just consider it pay back. joining us now is xavier, exblack lives matter and prager u. this mentality that we are encouraging and nurturing, where does this all end up? we're seeing some of it play out on our streets. but what else is coming? >> you know, cities like new york city and chicago have gone completely rogue because there is just such a lack of accountability. there are no consequences. and what we're seeing instead, now, is there an entire generation of people who are so used to not being condemned for this bad behavior that they don't even know the skill set of taking accountability. what they learn, instead from fraudulent organizations like black lives matter is that you should shift the blame to a

relevant issues like systemic racism or looking yourself in the mirror that you need to change. there is a reason most of these people displaying violent behaviors were first time offenders. nothing stopping them from committing this crime the first place what is going to stop them the fifth, sixth, seventh time. >> laura: when mayor adams said it could have gotten ugly. we were watching the video saying what are you talking about? chicago, as we have mentioned, is experiencing these teen takeovers as well. and i mean that's a nice way of putting it. here is what mayor johnson had to say. watch this. >> you are not aware of some of these large gatherings? >> are you talking about the mob? >> no. that's not -- that's -- that's not appropriate. we're not talking about mob actions. i didn't say that be careful when we use language to describe certain behavior. i mean, to refer to children like baby al capones is not appropriate. >> laura: it's not appropriate,

xavier. >> it's not appropriate. it's funny they say this is getting ugly but to me it looks hideous. only embarrassing for humanity to see where we have gone as a society. see young people being destructive it's not law enforcementens job to baby-sit their kids. if they continue to sit back and allow their kids in their community to be so destructive then eventually the judicial system is going to jump in and i don't want to hear anybody complaining that they are oppressed because they decided to become a convict at 18 years old. >> laura: xavier, thank you. >> thank you. >> laura: we got new details about the true number of crimes that one of hunter biden's business partners visited to the obama-era white house. and congressman byron donalds reacts in moments. ♪

and business partner. at the same time hunter biden was entertaining hookers doing coke and participating in orgies his long time business partner eric schwerin visited the white house east 8 times in 2016 meeting with then vice president's biden chief of staff steve ricchetti. >> laura: turned out much more than that we learned that schwerin visited the obama white house and then v.p. joe biden's residence not eight times or 10 times at least 36 times between 2009 and 2016. one of those visits was a 2010 sit down with the big guy in the west wing. we also know that obama appointed him not once but twice to the commission for the preservation of america's hirten damage abroad joining me now florida congressman byron donalds of the oversight committee. all right, this is getting more and more interesting. do you expect mr. schwerin to be brought in front of your

committee for further questioning? >> well, laura, good to be with you. he definitely needs to come before us. he needs to have some questions asked as well. laura, let me paint a quick picture for the american people. we know there is a web of corruption around joe biden. we know hunter biden is the bag man. but whether it's devon archer or mr. schwerin or go back in the past tony bobulinski all this is doing is filling in the narrative of the corruption that has surrounded joe biden for what appears to be now at least a decade. >> laura: well well, one of your democrat colleagues actually made something of a fetion about confessionabout all of this yes. >> if hunter biden committed crimes he should be held accountable for them. what we saw have devon archer hunter biden business dealings but no material involvement from joe biden himself. it is smoke that the republicans are trying to gin up and yet no fire. they are desperately trying to

redirect americans' attention away from the most important indictment in american history which is donald trump's. >> laura: all right, do you goy houser seems to always bring it back to trump. this might have happened. it wasn't material and trump is even worse. that's what their argument seems to be now, congressman. >> that's going to continue to be their argument. it's flat out wrong but that's their argument. we know what happened here. hunter biden and joe biden set up accounts, set up llcs, they were hiding money, concealing money, transferring it all over the place. hunter biden is traveling the world where joe biden is there. he leaves the country when joe biden leaves. all of a sudden money shows up. you don't have to be a rocket scientist to see this and what they were trying to give joe biden in my view is plausible d nt i will go back to the one text message. hunter biden's daughter at least you don't have to give me half your salary the way i have to pay the bills for the entire family. something tells me joe biden is involved in that as well.

>> laura: all right, congressman. thank you. >> my son has not made money in terms of this thing about -- what are you talking about, china? >> laura: now, my next guest is the reason that hunter biden made a major move giving up his seat on the board of directors for a chinese state-backed company. during his interview with the house oversight committee, hunter's former business partner devon archer said the reason joe's son stepped off that bhr because of a book written by peter zizzer. secret empire. here now peter schweizer the president of the government accountability institute. now, when hunter stepped down from that board, joe said it was because he was a man, wait for it, of integrity. >> yeah, no. he stepped down on the board because they got caught with their hand in the cookie jar.

you know, hunter biden joined this board and got an equity stake in this chinese government funded financial firm shortly after he air force 2 with his father where he introduced his business partner, his chinese business partner to his father. he gave up his board position, his visible board position because the book "secret emperors" which you and i talked about in 2018, laura, exposed this relationship. he stepped back from the board but he maintained ownership stake with scholars at the university of chicago estimate was about $20 million worth for hunter biden. so it was a sweetheart deal for hunter. no question about it. >> laura: so, peter, doing that bail hearing that hunter biden did, he did admit to making $664,000 from a chinese energy company, but you were saying that that figure is a lot higher but do you have any idea where the figure he provided equally

came from, quickly? >> that relates to a specific transaction he got from the laptop and suspicious activity reports that he received from that same energy company for the biden family $5 million forgivable no interest loan. so, from cefc much higher and of course tens of millions from other chinese entities as well. >> laura: pete, great to see you. thank you so much. up next the angle on how historians are so blinded by loathing of donald trump they missed how transformational his presidency really was. i explain it all, next.

the full sweep of national events without a blinding political bias. behold michael masquerading as a learned historian. >> donald trump is who our founders dreaded. 9/11, 2001, usama bin laden, and other terrorists hated our democracy, tried to destroy it. donald trump just like those other threats to american democracy tried to destroy our system. to take away our rule of law. >> laura: and when he is not busy on martha's vineyard well, there is always doris kerns goodwin boast known plagiarizing from other multiple authors. listen to this and tell me how you distinguish her and her comments from those of a biden campaign organizer just frustrated by trump's continuing appeal. >> we got to figure out when is that going to happen? when is it going to break? it's going to take the overwhelming organization organizing the country at all the levels so that he cannot win

that election. if the party will not depart from him, then he has to be defeated. and the party has to be defeated. >> laura: huh. it must be my misunderstanding. i always thought historians were individuals who wrote about different arcs of the political parties and leaders. not for people to call for political action in the future. of course, the only thing worse than today's actual historians are those who pretend to know history. >> we had the american revolution that started the country. we had the civil war. you are on the side of america and what it conceptually stands for or on the side of king george or the confederates? that's where i would cast donald trump and let him defend that. are you for democracy or are you for autocracy? >> laura: poor reverend al. like so many putting heads on tv he doesn't know what the term

autocracy even means. true autocrats do things like enrich their families, censor speech, put their political opponents on trial and, of course, collude with corporations against innocent citizens. but beyond these pundit historians there actually is good news out there. every once in a while, even among die hard never trumpers comes an insight worth sharing just as a piece published in the financial times by gideon rockman with an actual eye to what matters long term. rockman argues that love him or hate him, trump will go down in american history as transformational figure because of his policies. policies that marked a sharp break from the clinton, bush, obama era in issues like trade, globalization, and china. writing that trump repudiated the consensus of the previous 40 years on his first day in office trump pulled america out of the ttp. in 2017 the u.s. made a deliberate effort to hobble the

wto. robert lighthizer trump's trade rep imposed a wrath of tariffs on china. now many of those tariffs remain in place two and a half years after biden's inauguration. lord knows how much lower our g.d.p. would be if he had removed them. rackman continued saying this. trump's victory in 2016 forced democrats to take the plight and anger of u.s. workers much more seriously and important respects, therefore, trump brought about a lasting revolution in u.s. foreign and domestic policy; again, that's what's called honest analysis from someone who intensely disagrees with donald trump look voters are not stupid. they know how much better things were five years ago. check out survey by ipsos. 70% of those surveyed said the economy is worse off now than it

was in 2018 under trump. meanwhile biden's job approval is stuck at 38% with a staggering 68% of independence disapproving. >> danger will robinson. danger. >> laura: well, sure is danger. danger for biden in 2024. or it should be. if republicans keep the focus on the economy. and let's not forget another issue where trump was transformative. the border. by every measure, americans are outraged at the human, the economic and the crime problems biden's open border zealots have created. nearly three quarters are saying that they are doing a bad job at the border. but, before trump, let's remember the g.o.p. was generally pretty unreliable on illegal immigration, pushes things life-threatening like amnesty they call it comprehensive immigration reform instead of comprehensive enforcement. the transformation that trump ushered in left the bushes and the cheneys in the dust.

conventional. you're not transformational when you do that. but, define the status quo to stand with the people, even under the threat of imprisonment, that means you're not just transformational, you are historic. and that's the angle. all right, up next, senator tommy tuberville has become public enemy number one of the military industrial complex and the biden white house. he joins us next to explain why he is not going to back down. stay there.

>> senator from alabama who claims to support our troops is now blocking more than 300 military operations with his extreme political agenda. >> the failure to confirm our superably qualified senior leaders undermines our military readiness. >> what senator tuberville is doing is unprecedented. what he is doing is dangerous. and it is shameful. >> laura: when the military industrial complex, the biden white house and the regime media are all against you. it's a sign. the senator from alabama has been learning that lesson since february of this year. and that's when defense secretary lloyd austin ruled out the pentagon's formal plan to

fly service members to blue states so they could access abortion services all in the name of military readiness, we were told. now, following the announcement, senator tuberville, former football coach decided it was time to mount a goal line stand for the military. using his position on the senate armed forces committee, he has successfully blocked over 300 of biden's nominees to various posts from confirmation and as it stands, both the marine corps and the army are without a senate confirmed commander. now, despite months of relentless attacks, the alabama senator has stood his ground and dug his heels in every turn in the name of protecting our military from the rot of these progressive politics. he joins me now. senator, couldn't this just be all over if pentagon just backed down from what is a radical position on abortion services and how does that have anything to do with military readiness?

>> thank you, laura. you know, it's a very extreme policy. and it's a policy now that we have had for 40 years that was voted on by joe biden in 1958 that we put in. the mil -- 1 1985: i asked the committee about a month ago, give me your problems with this. have you had complaints? they had zero complaints in 40 years from the military. so, it's very extreme, listen, i have got hole holds on these nominees they can push these nominees through one at a time. i only have holds on groups of them. they can bring them one at a time on the floor. chuck schumer doesn't want to work. we have been out of session 50 days before this month. and now we are on vacation for a month. they don't want to -- they have got the floor. but they don't want to do any work with it. they wanted to just push these through. i'm not going to allow that to

happen. >> laura: well, senator, the "new york times" tonight is saying that it's republican political contenders and during a campaign season who are responsible for the public's declining trust in institutions whether it be the fbi or doj or even our military pointing to people like you and others who are taking stands like this. your reaction? >> well, the democrats have been a disaster. i'm not a politician, laura. you know that. i have been up there two and a half years. and it's an embarrassment to how we are running this country. we are 32 trillion in debt. they care about nobody. you know, we are sending all this money to ukraine and overseas and our people over here are begging for help. they are begging for help. but we're sending other people money. we could care less about our borders, our crime, our national security. there is zero leadership in washington, d.c. i'm talking about no leadership. and everybody is kind of looking around in the republican side

going what direction are we going? we're actually looking for some leadership. but we don't have any. there's none in washington, d.c. when it comes to the democrats. and if we don't change that, i don't know whether a year and a half, when we do change presidents -- and that will happen, i don't know whether we are going to be able to survive to that point because we have hit the down slide so quickly in education, our fbi, all our institutions are gone and, again, as i said earlier, we are dead broke. this country is dead broke and they want to spend more money in the next year and a half. i don't know where we are going to get it from. >> laura: well, a new poll is showing that americans, as i predicted, are growing very tired of funding the regime's war in ukraine, the proxy war, of course, against russia. this is a new cnn poll released on friday that 55% of americans say congress should not authorize additional funding. same percent of independent voters agree. 56 percent said we have done enough. will this make any difference because, in past conflicts, it's

taken a long time for politicians to get the point. >> yeah. we're not getting the point in washington, d.c. i haven't voted for a dime to send to ukraine. i'm for ukraine. russia should have never done this. i was in ukraine three months with president zelenskyy before this started. they were already fighting at that point. but, at the end of the day, it's a junior high team playing a college team. they can't win. we can throw all the money we want to, but, unless we send nato and our troops over which we are not going to do if i have got anything to do with it, then there's no chance. so they're trying to get everybody's eye off the real problem over here and that's the biden administration and the democrats. they are a total disaster. >> laura: well, a woke military is not going to be a successful military. senator, thank you so much. keep up the good fight. now it's time for our political, kind of, pallet cleanser. >> laura: over the weekend i had the opportunity to meet with some members of -- well, the

of her to take that position on the team? given what you said. i am not a big soccer person. that's selfish. she wanted to be the person that put the team over the top. but she didn't have the skill and probably made it be known that she wanted to be there for history's sake. >> laura, there is always a back story. you know this. whether it's politics or sports. there is always a back story. anybody that thinks megan rapinoe was on that team because she was good enough and put in that position -- think about the position this woman who was clearly past her prime was in. she had a kick to win a match in the sweet 16 of the world cup. her skill level was that of maybe a really descent college soccer player. she should not have been there.

>> laura: a junior high god player could have made that kick, dan. good to see you. don't you love me commenting about soccer. i played field hockey. set your dvr. follow me on all of the social media. jesse watters takes over from here. >> jesse: welcome to jesse watters. tonight: >> rapinoe. >> [cheers and applause]. >> jesse: usa women choke. is it right to celebrate. >> hush up, boy. >> jesse: biden tries banning trump from talking about his own trial. >> [gavel banging]. >> guys walking past me and said move your [bleep] and spits in your face. he said move or
