>> greg: we are out of time. and thanks to our studio audience. i love you, america! next, love you, america. ♪ ♪ >> laura: hi, everyone, i'm laura ingraham, this is "the ingraham angle" from washington, thanks for joining us. my angle exposing phony historians will be up later in the show. first, in case you hadn't heard, the great trump slayer is beyond reproach. >> right now we have a very aggressive prosecutor in jack smith, the doj would say we pursue justice without fear of favor. he is doing that.

>> laura: not just unquestionably fair minded, he does cardio, and weights. >> his personal health and exercise correlates to how he approaches prosecution and strategy. >> jack smith will donald trump's head as he sits in a prison cell. >> laura: the real jack smith is just another attack dog in the kennel of anti-trump prosecutors trying to make a name for himself. one person who counts most now is saying, hold your horses, judge cannon slapped down the doj absurd request to file motions under seal. can't have the people knowing anything, right? judge cannon is putting smith team on the spot about use of a dc grand jury to gather evidence after it indicted trump in florida using a grand jury in

miami. the case was brought in the miami federal district court, so it makes a lot of sense. dc grand jury is what smith, mr. unassailable prefers. the get trump media, who has tried to discredit conon, went bon customers. >> judge cannon will make the prosecutors work. >> we have a judge who may be a loose cannon in terms of what the ruling will be. if she persists in refusing to let them make their case, they likely will have to consider some form of action. >> laura: what is she talking about? action? what type of action? impeachment? to quote john mcenrow, you can't be serious. >> the doj remained compliting to ensuring accountability for those criminally responsible for what happened that day. this case is brought consistent

with that commitment. >> laura: that commitment? there is more we need to know about mr. smith's supposed unbiassed nature. "wall street journal" is reporting attorneys who know smith says he would feel like he failed if he didn't find charges to bring against a target. what does that tell us? attorney general merrick garland knew he could count on smith to deliver the outcome he wanted when he named him special prosecutor. last year, "new york times," biden said privately he wanted mr. garland to act less like a judge and more like a prosecutor willing to take defensive action. joining us is solwisenberg. late tonight trump attorneys filed response in the dc case that reads, the government seeks to restrict first amendment

right, it does so against administration political opponent during election season in which administration, party members and media allies campaigned and proliferated false allegations. your response to that? >> i haven't seen that filing yet, but i think former president trump's attorneys will 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: the issue about president trump not being able to respond in social media for instance, his comments can be over the top, i'm coming for you. that particular issue, what is your take? there is civil libertyarrians who say that is acting speech or

could be comment about witnesses or tampering with proceeding whachl is your take? >> there is inherent conflict between the gag orders and restrictions on the speech of defendants and defense attorneys and normal first amendment rights that we have. and unfortunately, the case law set by the supreme court is unclear on this, they decide on case-by-case basis and most districts have a rule that say you can't make a statement, no party can make a statement that might impact the administration of justice and that is lucy goosy. he will have to be careful about what he says on social media and we're likely to see some kind of ruling very soon from judge in d.c.

accelerate the response time, normally trump's attorneys have more time and they didn't here. >> laura: judge -- versus judge cannon, two different perspective on federal law and we're going to get a lesson in a different approach too judicial interp interpretation, are we not? >> absolutely and expect judge cannon to continue to be attacked by some people you showed earlier today talking about we're going to have to move to recuse her. these federal prosecutors, in most cases, including high-profile political cases are used to getting what they want from federal judges in favor of the prosecution. this judge in southern district of florida, judge cannon is saying, wait a minute, explain yourself, you don't get to put things under seal and haven't

made a strong enough showing. she's said, wait a minutes, i want explanation why you are using dc grand jury for post-indictment matters in florida. two things she's interested in here. number one, you brought this case in southern district of florida, why are you using the dc grand jury related to the case? number two, once you indict a case, law says you cannot use a grand jury evidence for trial. there is major exception to that, if prosecutor says we're looking at further crimes and might file a suit for indictment. judge cannon wants public explanation. if you say it is okay to use the dc grand jury to gather evidence, testimony us judge on

the record? they are very different cases, but it is like the judge did in the hunter biden case in delaware, wait a minute, i want this clear on the record. she might let jack smith do what he wants, she will make him articulate the reason why. in cases citizens learn stuff that regular -- i've been doing defense for 23 years, stuff regular defendants have to put up with all the time and citizens now see how the system really works and slanted against defendants. >> laura: thank you. racial activists love to opine about the legacy of george floyd and there may be more attention paid to training police officers and weeding out problem recruits, there is also dangerous boomerang effect terrorizing american cities and businesses, more crime. en a thousand kids and teens

swarmed union square on friday is case in point. playstation giveaway, people gathered for this, turned into violent free for all, where police were attacked by bottles and fireworks. [chanting] >> move back. >> no charges will be pressed against you. if you refuse to leave, you will be arrested for unlawful assembly. >> laura: since summer of 2020, it's been nonstop blur of crime committed by thugs, people who knock over convenience stores to deeting defenseless women and seniors and sometimes even in broad daylight. the perpetrators almost seem to act as if they were justified. in our everyone is a victim culture, you can right past

wrongs, by chucking a full water bottle at law enforcement. even if they are not obviously racist police officers, they are part of a racist organization. that is ifr that of the post-floyd propaganda that we've seen saturate the city. liberal mayors are still unafraid to say it like it is. >> police is not going to be able to resolve issues on our own. great level of restraint we saw yesterday by the new york city police department, that could have turned really ugly. these are young people, vee we have to be mindful of that as we bring back order. >> laura: this riot didn't turn ugly, it was ugly, there are rarely repercussions for the oppressed and misunderstood. for most, crime pays.

young people are angry because they are being taught their anger is righteous and justified and that oftentimes nonminorities just hate them. remember this scene from a florida school, one student felt entitled who was working on school grounds. or when a teacher had nerve to take away a student's nintendo switch. usually unphased bee this behavior, so shocked when members of beloved audience hurl objects at them while they are on stage. ♪ >> laura: now these mega-stars indulge black lives matter and vilify police themselves, help create this madness. ditto with woke ceos virtue

signalling on race to think about where all this is going to lead. >> nothing you can do, man, until police come in. >> don't. >> laura: to a world where criminals fear no consequences and those who stand up to them are most likely to be prosecuted. last week a deranged felon felt comfortable targeting a seven-11 store, one he is suspected of robbing before in same 24-hour period. when two workers stepped in to defend themselves and the store, most of america cheered. in upside down post floyd world, the store clerks are being investigated. >> the left may not have defunded the police, but set dynamic where victims are treated like aggressors and

aggressors as victims. the message, if you're robbed or threatened, stand by and 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 exac exactivist. this victimhood mentality we're encouraging and nurturing, how does this all end up? we're seeing some play out on streets, what else is coming? >> you know, cities like new york city and chicago have gone rogue because there is such a lack of accountability, no consequences. what we're seeing, entire generation of people who are so used to not being condemned for bad behavior, they don't know the skill set of taking accountability.

what they learn from organizations like black lives matter, look yourself in the mirror and -- you need to change. there is reason most people displaying violent behavior are not first-time offenders. what is going to stop them the fifth, sixth and seventh time? >> laura: when mayor adamses it could have gotten ugly? what are you talking about? xavier, chicago as we've mentioned is experiencing teen takeovers, nice way of putting it. here is what mayor johnson had to say. >> you are not aware of large gatherings? >> mob -- >> no, that is not appropriate, we're not talking about mob action, we have to be careful when we use language to describe certain behavior. to refer to children as baby al

capone is not appropriate. >> it looks hideous and embarrassing for humanity to see where we've gone. when you see young people being destructive, it is not law enforcement job to babysit kids. if they sit back and allow their kids and community to be destructive, then the judicial system will jump in and i don't want to hear anybody saying they are oppressed because they decided to become a convict at 18 years old. >> laura: thank you. new details about true number of crimes hunter biden business partner visited to the obama era white house and congressman byron donalds, reacts in moments.

>> president biden: i've never discussed their business, my son or daughter, never discussed anything about having done with ukraine. never spoken with my son about overseas business dealings. >> laura: you only talk to his business partners, golf with them and have them visit you at the white house, that is just devon archer. another name iss eric swearin,

we've told you about him before. same timeframe hunter biden was entertaining hookers, doing coke and participating in orgies, eric visited the white house. it turned out to be more than that. we learned today swearin visited the obama white house and vpbiden's residence 36 times between 2009 and 2016. one visit was a sitdown in the west wing and obama appointed him to commission to preservation of america abroad. joining me congressman byron donalds of the house oversight committee.

do you expect mr. swearin to be brought before you? >> he needs to be brought before us and have questions asked, as well. paint a quick picture. we know there is web of destruction around bidens. whether tony bobulinski, this corruption has surrounded joe biden for at least a decade. >> laura: one of your democratic colleagues made something of a confession about all of this yesterday. let's watch. >> if hunter biden committed crimes, he should be held accountable for them. we saw hunter biden's judgement and business dealing, but no material involvement from joe biden himself. it is smoke republicans are trying to gin up and no fire and

redirect manner attention away from the most important indictment in american history, donald trump. >> laura: doingy houser seems to always bring it back to donald trump. that is what the argument is now, congressman. >> that will continue to be their argument, it is wrong, but that is their argument. we know what happened, hunter biden and joe biden set up accounts and llc's, hunter biden is traveling the world when joe biden is there. he leaves the country when joe biden leaves and money shows up. you don't have to be a rocket scientist to see this. what they were trying to give joe biden was plausible deniability. hunter biden texted his daughter saying, at least you don't have to give me half your salary the way i pay the bills for this

entire family. something tells me joe biden is involved in that, as well. >> laura: thank you. >> president biden: my son has not made money in terms of this thing about what are you talking about, china. >> laura: next guest is the reason hunter biden made a major move giving up his seat on the board of directors for a chinese-backed company. during his interview, hunter biden former business partner devon archer said reason joe's son stepped off that board is because of book written by peter swizer, he is president of government accountability institute. when hunter biden stepped down from the board, joe said it was because he was a man, wait for it, of integrity. [laughter] >> yeah. he stepped down on the board

because they got caught with their hand in the cookie jar. hunter biden joined this board and got with this firm shortly after he was in china on air force two with his father, where he introduced his chinese business partner to his father. he gave up visible board position because "secret empire," which you and i talked about in 2018, laura, exposed this relationship. he stepped back from the board, but maintained ownership stake, valued at about $20 million worth for biden. it was a sweetheart deal worry biden, no question about it. >> laura: during the bail hearing that hunter biden, he did admit to making $664 from chinese energy company. you were saying that figure is higher, do you have any idea

where the figure he prided came from? quickly. >> yeah, that relates to specific transaction he got. we know he received from the same energy company for the biden family, 5 million for a no-interest loan. from cefs higher and other entities, as well. >> laura: up next, my angle on how historians are blinded by loathing of donald trump, they missed how transformational his presidency really was. i explain it next. social media, fine-tuned to suck them in. and steal them away. alone you can't stop it. together we will.

we have a plan. join us. ( ♪ )

>> laura: the transformer that's the focus of >> laura: the transformer is the focus of tonight's angle. no nothing in the trump era, they are not reporters, they are repeaters, there is not an

original thinker in the bunch. they can't get past the last "new york times" headline they read. >> president trump second impeachment trial set to kickoff, first time former president has been indicted on federal charges. >> scope and scale is unparallel. >> laura: ooh, unparallel. they have become what they claim he is, unhinged and unable to see the damage they are doing to norms and democratic values. in pursuit of biden chief antagonist, ag merrick garland and his hitman jack smith, are doing more damage to america than capitol rioters ever could. this anti-trump contagion spread beyond doj on media, it affected

his hiians storians who are not supposed to have political bias. behold masquerading as learned histore storian. >> 9/11, 2001, osama bin laden. donald trump tried to destroy our system. to take away our rule of law. >> laura: when he's not busy martha's vineyard, plagiarizing from other authors. listen to this, how do you distinguish her and her comments from those of biden campaign organizers frustrated by trump's appeal. >> figure out when is that going to break? it will take the organization organizing the country so he

cannot win that election. if the party will not depart from him, the party has to be defeated. >> laura: hmm. must be my misunderstanding, i thought historians wrote about eventing and leaders, not people calling for political action in the future. of course, only thing worse than today's historians are those who pretend to know history. >> the american revolution started the country. america and what it stands for, are you on side of king george or confederate, that is where i cast donald trump, let him defend that. are you for democracy or aughtock rase? >> laura: poor reverend al, he

doesn't know what true autocrats do, they enrich families, censor speech and collude with corporations against innocent citizens. pundit historians, there is good news out there. every once in a while, even around never trumpers is something worth sharing. a piece published in "new york times" with actual eye to what matters longterm, rockman argues, love him or hate him, trump will go down as transformational figure because of his policies that mark a sharp break from the clinton, bush, obama era on trade, and china. trump reputeiated the previous 40 years. trump pulled america out of the

tpp. u.s. made effort to hobble the wto. and imposed tariffs on china. many tariffs remain in place 2-1/2 years after biden came into office. lord knows how much lower our gdp would be. trump's victory in 2016 forced democrats to take the plight and anger of u.s. workers more seriously and important respect therefore trump brought about lasting revolution in u.s. foreign and domestic policy. again, that is what is called honest analysis from someone who intensely disagrees with donald trump. voters are not stupid, they know how much better things were five years ago. new survey shows 73% of those surveyed said the economy is worse off now than in 2018 under

trump. biden job approval is stuck at 38% with staggering 60% of independents approving. >> laura: sure is danger, danger for biden in 2024. or it should be. if republicans keep focus on the economy. let's not forget another issue, trump was transformative. the border. americans outraged by crime problems biden open border zelets created. three quarters are saying they are doing bad job at the border. before trump, gop was unreliable on illegal immigration, pushing things like amnesty and comprehensive immigration reform. instead of comprehensive enforcement. trump ushered in and left bush's

and cheney's in the dust and this was on display for everyone to see and hear at recent mcconnell event. [cheering] [crowd booing? >> booing] [chanting retire >> laura: they kept clapping. the message comes through with old guard globalists speak at trump rallies. >> ladies and gentlemen, welcome united states senator lindsey graham. [cheering] >> thank y'all for coming. thank you very, very much. >> laura: thank you, thank you for booing me. the establishment in both parties, they are grudgingly finding out you can only defy your voters for so long, following demand of big donors

or fringe activists mean you are conventional, not transformational. define status quo to stand with people under threat of imprisonment, you are not just transformational, you are historic and that is the angle. up next, senator tommy tuberville public enemy number one of the biden white house and joins us to explain why he will not back down. stay there.

>> senior senator from alabama, who claims to support our troops is now blocking 300 military operation with his ectreme political agenda. >> the failure undermines military raise. >> what senator tuberville is doing is unprecedented and dangerous and shameful. >> laura: when the military industrial complex, the biden white house and regime media are all against you, it is sign you are doing the right thing. the senior citizen from alabama has been learning that lesson since february of this year when lloyd austin rolled out the

pentagon plan to fly service members to blue state to access abortion services in the name of military readiness, we were told. senator tuberville, a former football coach, decided to mount a goal line stand, using his position on armed forces committee, he blocked 300 of biden nominees from various posts and the marine corps and army are without a senate confirmed commander. despite attacks, the alabama senator stood his ground and dug his heels in to protect the military from rot of progressive politics. he joins me now. sr., couldn't this be over if the pentagon backed down from a radical position on abortion services and how does that have

anything to do with military readiness? >> it is very extreme policy and it is a policy we've had for 40 years voted on by joe biden in 1985, that we put in, military had no problem with this, rape, incest, it worked greats and i asked the briefing committee, give me your problem with this, have you had complaints with this? zero complaints from the military. it is extreme. they can push nominees through one at a time, i only have holes for groups at a time. i have a hold, but they can bring them to the floor, but chuck schumer doesn't want to, wo. we've been out of session 50s days before this month and now on vacation for a month. they have the floor, they don't want to work with it. they want to push these through and i will not allow that to

happen. >> laura: senator, "new york times" is saying it is republican political contenders who are responsible for the public's declining trust in institutions, the fbi or doj or our military pointing to people like you and others taking stands like this. your reaction? >> democrats have been a disaster. i'm not a politician and i've been there 2-1/2 years and it is an embarrassment how we're running this country. 32 trillion in debt. we are sending money to ukraine and overseas and people over here are begging for help issue but we're sending other people money, we could care les about the border, security, there is zero leadership in washington,

d.c. and everybody is looking around going, what direction are we going? we are looking for leadership and we don't have any, there is none in washington, d.c. and if we don't change that, i don't know whether a year and a half, when we change presidents, and that will happen, whether we'll be able to survive because we have hit the down slide so quickly and education or fbi, institutions are gone and we are dead broke. this country is dead broke and they want to spend more money, i don't know where we're going to get it from? >> laura: new poll shows americans are growing tired of funding regime war in ukraine and proxy car against russia, new poll released that 55% of americans say congress should not authorize funding, 56% said we've done enough. will this make a difference?

in the past, it has taken a long time for politicians to get the point. >> we're not getting the point in washington, d.c., i have not voted a dime for ukraine. i'm for ukraine, russia should have never done this. i was with president zelenskyy and they were already fighting, it is junior high team playing a college team, they can't win. unless we send nato and our troops there, which we will not do if i have anything to do with it, there is no chance. they are getting everybody's eye off the real problem, biden administration and democrats, they are a total disaster. >> laura: woke military is not a successful military, thank you, keep up the good fight. it is time for political -- kind of, palette cleanser. >> laura: over the weekend i h over the weekend, i had opportunity to meet with members

of the federal government. >> this one's name is federal and that one's name is government. federal government and state government over there sitting in the mud. they're too cute for government. sorry, that is insult to pigs, i love pigs. my son nico and i ran across those. coming up, u.s. women's national soccer team and their star, megan rapinoe, get their just desserts, i'll explain that next.

you might remember her from the time she nealed for the american flag or the time she saiding about some investigate then president trump. >> are you excited to go to the white house? >> i am not [bleep] going to the white house. >> laura: classy. a lot of folks are angry that anybody could be happy about this outcome. but let this be a lesson for rapinoe and teammates. if you don't support america, don't expect for america to blindly support you here. joining me now is dan.

that reaction was something to be hold when the penalty kick didn't go in. your reaction tonight? >> i thought maybe they needed a transgender male to kick it for her. she is all for that kind of stuff. my reaction is this. a lot of people online are upset and people in the media are upset for them saying they are glad the americans lost. there was not anybody on that team you could get behind. i coached for a number of years. good teams beloved by our fan base because there was a good connection and some teams not as beloved. the politics made megan rapinoe unlikeable. there was nobody on that team where you said, wow, i really want to get behind and watch this particular person. morgan used to be that. we used to have hamm and

chastain who brought positivity to it. megan rapinoe should not have been on the pitch. she was not good enough. that kick was like a fifth grader trying to kick. she should not have been there. was the coaching staff and u.s. soccer intimidated by rapinoe's popularity. did she bully her way? she was awful in the tournament. she looked like she didn't care and wasn't good enough. combine that with her act being as a victim. you can't be a victim and lead a team. you can't act as a victim and be a leader in any walk of life. your job, my job, sports, business. victims don't lead. her being a victim and not good enough on the pitch was a real problem for the other ladies of that soccer team. >> laura: didn't it seem selfish

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.
