glass rose window. clear weather on these days means that the designs of the window reflect on the opposite wall creating an octagon of light. at the peak of the phenomenon, the shape of an 8 is formed representing the harmony and unity between the light and dark sides of the world tomorrow on sport house and senate leadership votes plus president biden hosts president-elect trump at the white house. and remember if you can't catch us live set your dvr 6:00 p.m. eastern, 3:00 p.m. on the west coast. and tonight on fox news at night, we will have the border czar, the new border czar tom homan live. thank you for watching "special report." i'm trace gallagher in los angeles. please join me for fox news at light, 11:00 p.m. eastern, 8:00 pacific, "the ingraham angle" right now ♪ >> laura: good evening, i'm laura ingraham.

"the ingraham angle." trump is filling out top leadership positions wasting no time. john ratcliffe at cia r rng attorney and trump outside laura william mcginley as white house council and kristi noem as dhs secretary looks like we will have more on that. but, first, leaderless rudderless that's tonight the focus of tonight's angle. >> biggest problem here rests with donald trump, and his vice presidential candidate as to whether they are going to be big enough to accept the results of the election. >> this is probably the most important election of our lifetime. we have to make sure we get it right. >> i'm concerned about what they were going to do. >> those were all fake. as the ache gill predicted the democrats were just projecting, they couldn't deny trump's win size of it. they still won't concede in that pennsylvania senate race one by

won by dave mccormick. >> across our commonwealth close to 7 million people cast their votes in a free and fair election. our county election officials will finish counting those votes just like they do in every election. the american democratic process was born in pennsylvania and that process will play out. >> it's a shock with that energy level that he didn't immediately get reelected. just another democratic election denier, whole trail of them. so what happens when the threat to democracy wins majority. not just electoral college gains with other groups and wins the popular group as well. mr. president, is trump still a threat to democracy? >> i will see him on wednesday. >> laura: and if trump really had sadistic impulses it would be kind of odd for biden to have invited him to the white house tomorrow, right? well, of course, that's why it was always a vicious and

desperate lie. still the propaganda did have some effect. according to a.p. vote about two thirds of harris voters said the future of democracy was the most important factor of their votes, apparently groceries didn't matter. nine out of 10 were concerned that electing trump would bring the country closer to authoritarianism, say the people who want to see bugs, again, all based on lies trump never used the doj to attack his political opponents. wipe out your votes or fought will ids to vote all of which which compromises our democratic democratic system. same voter survey also demonstrated that one in three trump voters cited saving as their primary. 8 in 10 of the trump voters felt electing harris would bring the

country closer to authoritarianism. how interesting. and given kamala's own record and her own well documented views, those fears were well-founded thank you of you dismissed the anti-trump fears and saw harris for puppet masters for what they were threats to our economy and way of life. mercury, remember when it used to the fall out of an old broken thermometer. the democrat machine will reconstitute itself. it do that effectively they are wrestling over what went wrong. at times it's gotten fairly brutal. bernie sanders smashed the out of touch party bureaucracy that lost the working class saying in a statement big known interest and consultants control the democratic party learn any real lesson from this disastrous campaign? probably not. no, that's a safe bet. but, if there is a real earth to

redefine the party progressives worry about being sidelined, if they are worried, if they are sidelined, they have no one but themselves to blame they are all sellouts. bernie is a sell-out, too. they compromise antiwar cred when standing mute when liz cheney became kamala's de facto running mate. pivot from more radical positions? >> i think that a lot of voters really don't like fake people. if during the entire time the campaign season you're saying that you are down with trans people or the lgbtq community and then you lose an election and then the next day you say all that stuff was wrong. what people are more upset about is someone was doing something they didn't believe and just saying something. >> laura: so articulate.

now aoc is grousing about people like congressman -- that seth moulton who post election claimed that his party had gone too extreme saying that i have two little girls, i don't want them getting run over on a playing field by a male or a formerly male athlete. but as the democrat i'm supposed to be frayed to say that that kicked off the "family feud," grab the popcorn. >> what was your response to congressman seth moulton who suggested this week that democrats need to change their approach to transgender issues? >> i just find that to be an offensive comment, actually. i don't think that just trying to instill fear in joining a party that is instilling people is the right way to go about this. >> trace: it's about time we saw some cracks in the democrat wall, the monolith, pass the junior mints. >> i do want to give you a chance to explain your comments. because you know they have faced backlash. >> the backlash i have received

proves my point that we can't even have these discussions as a party. insaid, we have a wing of our party that shames us, that tries to cancel people who even bring up difficult topics and frankly shames voters given the inroads trump as made with go teen knows even some in california. what the heck can democrats offer? abortion and saving democracy did not get it done. why will it get done in 2028? given the epic failures of policy and messaging, who is left in the party with any credibility and any influence? after the trump win house minority leader hakeem jeffries sounded like he is y auditioning to something. >> we have problems we have to solve. we have to make sure, of course, we fix our broken immigration system and secure the border. we have to make sure that we lower cost and grow the middle class.

we need to have a family conversation that needs to be clear-eyed candid and comprehensive to figure out what happened on election night. >> laura: that's a tall order with kamala going down in flames, with the obamas, they are getting burned, with pelosi getting old democrats need someone to lead them. when the bench isn't deep, jeffries becomes a viable candidate. stacy calling ultimate point guard with on court discipline. now, of course, in this democrat regrouping period, let's not forget the guy who kamala stupidly passed over, pennsylvania governor josh shapiro a very talented politician. is he a lot more likely than california liberal gavin newsom that to gain traction and democrats look for mayor pete. talk about a train wreck.

dot joke. glue, pete. this parlor game is going to continue for years. i can't wait to watch it unfold. someone new can emerge with just the sort of passion we need. you all need need to leave me the [bleep] alone. i got [bleep]. mother [bleep] america. yeah. >> laura: you never know. she has a very big tiktok following. and that's the angle. joining me now is stacy washington, sirius xm radio host. breitbart editor and chief. alex, so republicans have the called trifecta. the house, the senate and the house they are not wasting any time. watch. >> what they really felt was the misery of the last four years. we're moving on and turning the page. this is something that the american people desperately need and deserve we're going to raise an america first banner above this place.

>> laura: sounds like the adults are back in charge. going to raise the america first banner over the capitol. what's the first order of business for this republican led congress? >> law, sorry, i can't hear you there are audio issues going on. >> laura: i don't know sign language that's another reason i need to learn it. stacey, let's talk to you. i hope that you can actually hear us. >> what is the first order of business? >> i can, laura. >> laura: do you think for the republicans given the fact that they have the house, senate and the white house? >> passing comprehensive immigration reform while they work on reauthorizing and making permanent the tax cuts and jobs act. >> laura: problem is when i hear comprehensive immigration reform i don't know how you define that i have have been doing the immigration issue for 20 years in washington. we defeated several attempts at comprehensive immigration reform because it really was a mass amnesty and no one has worked

harder on this than stephen miller. he and i worked together on this. that is what that ends up being. isn't it most important for him to get these deportations moving. to close these loopholes on the border and do what he did first time around with the team he had back then? >> obviously, when i say comprehensive immigration reform. i'm talking about updating our laws that allow the disaster that the biden administration visited upon this four years to happen in the first place. we need concrete actual legislation to prevent a future democrat president from opening up our border with no consequences i agree. >> laura: stacy, hold on one second. we have a fox news alert. president trump just announcing that our own pete hegseth will be his secretary of defense. pete, of course, has been a host here at fox a number of years. army veteran where he served in afghanistan and iraq. trump saying, quote: pete has spent his entire life as a

warrior for the troops and for the country. he is tough, mart, and a true believer and america first, with pete they hymn america's enemies are on notice. our military will be great again and america will never back down. wow! that is pretty cool. gosh, we're going to miss him at fox but that's a gain for the country. stacey -- stacey, your reaction to that? i guess we still don't have alex, unfortunately. that's incredible. >>ing incredible. so amazing. all of the picks so far i have just felt like the expansion of the dream team for president trump. people that he might not have looked at in 2020 and now 2024 so it's a whole new world. pete hegseth? amazing. congratulations to him. >> laura: alex, again, the left is shocked sorry about the audio issues. the left is just so inside and

out turned inside and out because trump is putting loyalists to the maga agenda in these top positions. but they would rather have wienies and damsels in top positions undermine trump. which is frankly what happened last time around in some positions. your reaction tonight to this news? >> yeah, laura, i think the last time i talked he got to secure the border and tap. and only bad ases in these cabinet posts. that's what he is doing. one after the next. this is like the starting lineup of my dream team of who would be in these posts. congratulations to the fox family on pete. everyone loves pete. is he great advocate for our troops. a true patriot. it's great choice and it's one that he is making people on the left pulling their hair out right now. you know there has not to be a lot of high fiving in mar-a-lago tonight. >> laura: stephen miller as a key white house aide. we have susie wiles as chief of staff, no nonsense, get the glob

done kristi noem, looks like that will be confirmed at dhs. i mean, we got ratcliffe at the cia. what do all these picks have in command if you could give one line on what they all have in common? >> proven results. proven results. people shown hit the ground running, not going to be on the job training. know what they are doing. loyalists, america first patriots. >> laura: alex, some scuttlebutt online about kristi noem having allowed in a lot of afghan refugees or urged them to come into the dhs since she did that should she be the head of the dhs? what do you make of that concern? >> i feel like she is someone who is sufficiently icy and cold

in the sense that she will get stuff done in order to get ahead of the agenda she is tasked with. eye of the tiger. wants to be in the national stage. in that role these this is a really tough job. the one she is likely to get assigned. someone who has to be able to stand up to the media and not take any of the interference, any of the flack that she is going to get from people on the left. so i think she is a good fit for that. nasa sinating to see how this plays out. incredibly strong picks from president trump. joining me now jason chaffetz, fox news contributor. your reaction, jason, to the selection of pete hegseth to be trump's secretary of defense? i have seen his name in a few articles, but a lot of us well, you know him like your buddy. your reaction tonight? this is incredible. >> wohoo, i wish i could give the guy a high five. thrilled about it. donald trump is picking the best

people he could possibly pick. pete loves this country e has served this country. is he a true patriot. and his heart is always in the right place he will serve with vigor. he knows the issues. you got to love somebody who put it all on the line. put the uniform on. got out there, has loved our veterans, worked tirelessly behind the scenes to help veterans, take care of homeless veterans and honor those who have given their life. you could ask for nothing more. i got to tell you, hundreds of thousands of people who serve in our united states military. and this has got to put a smile on heir face and a good fist pump all right, america is back. we got donald trump as the president. j.d. vance as the vice president and pete hegseth leading the military. you got national security

adviser. he is on a roll. >> laura: i played my youtube video on accident on the air. he did this great bit on how the military, jason, has gone woke. i was trying to find it so we could play it. he has been on that issue on what wokefiing our warrior class has done to military morale and recruitment. he has been on the problems we are had on deficit and recruitment like nebraska's business. that's going to be a big, big task for him to undertake once he gets into the pentagon. he will get confirmed no problem given his incredible background what's a challenge we have lost a lot of great men and women in the military because of how left things have gone inside the various branches, maybe not the marines but the rest.

>> rob o'neill we are arguing over here arguing who should use which bathroom and the chinese are putting together a fighting force and building up their military. pete understands this. you do that by putting on the uniform and actually being out there in the combat theater like pete hegseth has. i thin he will get easily confi. i dare any republican senator to vote against him. that is not in their best interest. we need to get him in place as soon as possible. relief is on the way. this is exactly what i think america was striving for i can't believe how excited i am that pete is going to be -- mr. defense secretary, i will still call him pete. >> laura: i think he will go by both. jason, the thing that i think we are not used to as republicans is just rock solid nominees

trump had some doozies and great picks. great people behind him who got a lot done for him. and there is always tension that, always happens, nothing new there. but, he has -- you know everyone makes in stakes, no one will be a perfect secretary, but this is unusual because the republicans have been undermined from within for a long time both in the senate and in some of these appointments. trump, above all else is like we are done with that we don't have much time. we have to get stuff done and transformational thinkers in these positions. that's what i think they are thinking jason jason you are 10. a lot of times who have this person just to go to find out they were part of the defense industrial dom plex of the past hidden in some think tank somewhere who are these people? thus far if you look at who is being picked out there. governor huckabee to be the

ambassador to israel freight pick, congressman walz national security adviser. >> we know these people. they have been in our televisions have you heard them speak from the heart and their sleeve and that's exactly the kind of people. john ratcliffe as the cia director. that guy is as big a patriot as there is. so that team that donald trump is assembling, these are people that we know. they don't have some other nefarious tie other than they love this country and they want to serve president trump and serve the country. >> laura: all right, thank you, jason. joining us now via phone lt. colonel danny davis. colonel, your reaction to hegseth being named as trump's meningioma chief tonight? >> i got to tell you, laura, i was almost shocked because that's not a name anyone had been passing around talking about being in the running because it's oncology

conventional i'm hoping trump picked him because he is one that wants a strong military but wants to keep us out of stupid wars and not getting into any new ones. i'm really hopeful and optimistic that's what he can bring to the table. >> laura: the big challenge for this country right now comes from china. even though they have economic issues and problems think have population implosion in china, they still are the most serious adversary in the globe. there is no doubt about it. we're going to have to balance our need to keep the military keep pace with china and at the same time rebuild our economy back home with manufacturing, new jobs, that trump also plans to do reagan had to do this rebuild the military and rebuild the economy. he didn't have $36 trillion in

debt bearing down on him he did have horrific inflation and a country in malaise. this is a different ballgame. >> it is, i will tell you pete will have a big task in front of him because frankly we have under resourced the military in terms of what it can do and then given missions not really fulfilled to do. we got into a war any time soon against china right now, in china's backyard like over taiwan and so south china sea, e are not equipped. we don't have the capabilities we don't have the infrastructure to sustain a war. we need to make sure we don't get into anything in the near term and strongly advocate we need to build up our defense capacity to make sure our strategy is tied with capability. there has been numerous reports come out just recently showed if we got into a war we will return out of long range missiles long

before china would. catastrophic if we got in there. hopefully hegseth gets in there and starts picking some of these problems. >> laura: i think at the same time, we had this war in ukraine that is not going well for ukraine hundreds of thousands dead. a lot of people in the senate still want to spend billions and billions more. that's going to have to also be on the table discussed a prpnd president trump has made it clear he wants this war to be over. he wants it to be done and we hope the results for the people of ukraine are going to be satisfactory no one is going to get everything they want here. colonel, do you agree with that that this ukraine issue got to be one of the first things along with the israeli situation we have to deal with. >> 100 percent. that's the reason i was so excited when trump first announced j.d. vance is going to

be his running mate. he has been the leader on this for quite a long time about pointing out the reason strategic reasons why continuing to fund this war is a losing proposition both for ukraine and for the united states. and president trump has been nothing but consistent in saying that if he gets elected that that was going to be the first thing he was going to d what i n gather that is absolutely what is he going to do. the car cannot and will not be run by the ukraine side and the longer we ignore that reality and continue on with the current administration is doing get more people. trump will end that. >> laura: we hope so. retired u.s. army colonel danny davis thank you very much. joining us now oh, sorry, we are waiting on aishah but apparently she is not hooked up yet. colonel davis one of the things

i noticed i keep seeing pete's smiling face. imagine how happy he is. one of the things i have noticed in recent years with the progressive caucus and the few mainstream democrats who have any power in the democratic party is that squad toips have been silent and compliant on the war issue. and, yet, you know, they -- stuck with the democrats, stuck with liz cheney. they kick up a fuss about cheney being attached at the hip against kamala harris and now they have lost. where do they go now? they sold their souls to the democratic party. now what happens? i guess we have lost colonel davis. let's hope that aishah hasnie is with us. fox news national correspondent. thank you for joining us. details that you might have regarding this pick of pete hegseth tonight? >> hey, laura good evening to

you. this is the most recognizable pick so far in the president-elect's cabinet at least to our viewers. pete hegseth, who has been for a while now our weekend "fox & friends" anchor. probably not joining you are ofriends on the couch anymore after this pick was just just announced by the president-elect. my phone is blowing up with people who are close to trump and the transition team over this announcement. clearly this was a surprise. we had heard earlier in the day that pete was at mar-a-lago interviewing for something he was visiting with the transition team. we didn't have any idea whether a this was for. this has now come as a total surprise at least the contacts that i have around the trump campaign. i will read off a couple points from the president-elect's statement tonight in which he sort of explaining why he chose

pete for this position talks about pete's history in the military. which you and i and our audience obviously are very familiar with and how proud he is of his military experience. is he an army combat veteran who has done tours in guantanamo bay, iraq, and afghanistan. and he has been on the battlefield. he was decorated with two bronze stars as well as a combat infantryman's badge. can i tell you that this announcement we have been waiting for for a while. building out national security adding a couple of appoint wants, still waiting aconfirmation of the secretary of state, this has been the biggest appointment so far from the president-elect and his transition team, laura? >> laura: aishah, rubio at state, ratcliffe at the cia. huckabee is going to israel to be the u.s. ambassador to israel. word is that kristi noem is

going to dhs. special envoy tothe middle east. they are in stark comparison to how it was in 2016 where i believe it took about a week before they named chief of staff, this time around it was within a couple of hours. we found out. a rapid pace. there has been some. it seems like now. president-elect is now announcing. >> laura: aishah, thank you so much. great as always. stunning news. well, we know the democrats just manufactured a sham trial. but since that went down in flames. they now have a problem. sentencing the next president to prison. but, rather than just clean up the melissa they made. they opted to just pause it all. judge merchan agreed with alvin bragg's office that all proceedings should be put on

ice. >> trump team did succeed they don't want this to be lingering, they want to be able to get to a position where they can appeal. keep in mind, they have never been able to get a full review of what happened at the trial. you know, this trial is riddled with reversible error in my view. >> joining me now chris alan landau. former impeachment attorney for president trump. >> laura: judge merchan's goal here to delay this until 2029? you know, laura, i think one of the great lessons of this election is that you can't use tthe as a -- and i think judge merchan now is kind of in a situation where he has been

saying never mind, didn't work and we are going to hide the ball his case was kind of a freak show and sham from the start does he reverse it himself and enter a final judgment and let the court of appeals reverse it. it's brought real disgrace to our profession and to the judiciary. >> doug schoen, we love the shone, we love the shones, we love both of you. david, again, this is just so typical, merchan is vindictive and venal and partisan and you could tell from the outset that he wanted to stick it to trump. and now just pausing it instead of just saying dismissing it outright. >> there is no question about it. first of all he follows the lead of the district attorney. district attorney acquiesced in this idea of pausing it. trump team asked him to hold off

for a bit. the case must be dismissed. first of all judge merchant never should have sat on it. his conflict barred him sitting on the case. putting that all aside case ought to be dismissed same reason office 2,000 and 1973 the federal government cannot prosecute a president. can't indict. can't prosecute. can't continue with the prosecution. those same principles apply to the state in this case. and proof of that is just considering what those principles are. a distraction from the operation of the duties of the office. the president is unique alexander bickle said it. continuity and indestructiblability of the state. justice story said we can not allow prosecution, arrest, imprisonment to interfere with the duties of the presidency. the president is unique. it raises a separation of powers issue. and so by the way, no fan of

trump, aqil omar the yale law professor has said we can't allow a state prosecution to derail the functioning of the federal government. and these the key here. >> laura: it's unreal, chris and david. we just received a statement from our bosses here at fox. pete hegseth has been an exceptional host on "fox & friends" and fox nation and a bestselling author for fox news books for nearly a decade. his insights and analysis, especially about the military resonated deeply with our viewers and made the program the major success that it is today. we are extremely proud of his work at fox news. and wish him the best of luck in washington. coming up, a young republican just won a seat in philly. the state senate for the first time that this has happened in decades. he'll join us, next. ♪ the need to screen when due... for colon cancer's a priority.

left wing pundits sphere. alex we will start with you. i already have seen some stuff online, questioning the legality of this because it's an outside government -- it's a department outside the government advising government appointees. your reaction to this? boy, does the government need efficiency and i will say. >> all the left cares about law and order now that's nice. that's good. i have got to note that down. this is a perfect role for musk. is he going to be in the room and on the phone with leaders. is he going to be trying to help trump try to make things more organized in this country. why not have an official title with it. number one businessman in the world. but one thing to note here that's dead serious is that he took the x platform and he fired 80% of the staff and got more powerful. that's the model that needs to come do this office. america, of course, is wasting tons and tons of money. if you are a government employee right now or bureaucrat time to start getting your resume ready. >> laura: their work will conclude no later than july 4th,

2026, of course, that's right the big anniversary year for us. smaller government with more efficiency and less bureaucracy will be the perfect gift to america on the 250th anniversary of the declaration of independence. i am confident they will succeed. i love this, jason. of course, trump is making a big deal as he should, as we should of the 250th anniversary of our country. i'm so happy he is president while we are celebrating. and he is a showman. trump knows how to produce events. and this is an event which we hope will be married to real results of what of this july 4th, 2026. everybody better book their tickets to d.c. >> it's going to be quite the celebration. look, this day just keeps getting better and better. the idea that the left is out there already poo pooing it telling us all the reasons why it can't be done is exactly the reasons that they were dismissed from any power positions in washington, d.c. as president obama likes to say,

elections have consequences. most innovative minds who are going to look at this with fresh eyes. never had a department of government efficiency. that's what government should be doing. s it not working for people. the idea that elon musk with vivek ramaswamy who is such a great conservative voice in this country are going to rethink this whole thing top to bottom, more power to donald trump. he has got the guts to actually do what should be done. not just listening to the beltway pundits in washington, d.c. and everything that, you know, and all the reasons we shouldn't do this. k street has got to be blowing up and i love it. it's great. >> laura: oh no, well, alex, as somebody who worked at the department of education and the department of transportation, and walking through the halls of these giant departments a lot of good people there so much waste just in the employment in these building, but they are big

government, you know, basically employment agencies for the united states of america. so you are already saying. what are they going to do for work? which is the whole point? they should get real jobs? >> think about the contrast. we just had joe biden who was elected leader in this country for 50 years and look how badly that went. trump is tapping authentic people who are outsiders who come with real expertise from the working world. and these are the people that are going to go through case by case. maybe you can't dismantle every single bureaucracy, you look at them and cut the fat. we know there is so much fat. let's bring in these guys to cut it. he found the perfect two guys. >> laura: by the way defense contracts have big fat in them, too. i know a lot about this. lots of fat in defense contracts. we just heard word that yes, the president has just announced that kristi noem, the governor -- of course governor kristi noem will be his dhs secretary pick. jason, how great is that? how great is that news? some people wanted her at

interior. they thought that was a better choice. nevertheless, she will be heading dhs it looks like. >> yeah, she has got her hands full. will is something like 265,000 people at homeland security. got about 65,000 that are at the transportation secretary administration. you have the secret service. you got fema. you got the federal law enforcement training center. the coast guard. you got the secret service. and well, then of course you have got the border issues. >> laura: we have got to roll, guys. great breaking news. thanks for hanging with us. all right, jimmy failla, next. ♪of y and it begins with taking care of yourself. protect yourself with this season's flu, covid-19, and rsv vaccines. risk less. do more.

>> it's time -- it's time for wtf. joining me now is... great to see you, it's been way too long, where have you been? some post trump victory coping problems in california. a student wore something to class, it might have been a

trump hat. this is the teachers reaction. >> [bleep] >> jamie, the student had worn one of these hats. you remember those? they are going to make a comeback in a month and a half or so. >> this teacher better watch it or they will give him a prime time show on msnbc. you keep going like that. these california schoolteachers should do what they do best which is put on drag shows were little kids and just like all of the election. this is embarrassing. >> they really can't -- i don't think they are ever going to get

over this. wants the guy they called hitler wins the american presidency by popular vote and the electoral college where they go? >> to the bar that's where they go. >> and never really seemed like kamala harris and joe biden were best ease but yesterday ada veterans day memorial ceremony at arlington national cemetery it was pretty awkward, they were seated next to each other, did not say a word. >> it they hate each other. but it's extra- bad because gelid didn't say hello in either language. she is bilingual, she speaks english and joe. and she didn't speak in either of those languages, that's a doubled this by joe biden. >> i know it's a ceremony but a

nod, adjuster, a moment of warmth, anything. >> aren't you with jill here? nobody wants to talk to kamala. she's like i grew up in a middle-class family. all man. >> i worked at mcdonald's. did you really? first there was the taylor swift course at stanford. now yale university is offering a course for credit on beyonce. it's called beyonce makes history, a black radical tradition, history and culture, theory and politics through music. they are going to look at her musical and political influence. perhaps that description was written before last tuesday. >> this is also the same woman who endorsed beto overwork -- o'rourke...

all that losing goes down there. i will say its nice to see the ivy league kid supporting someone besides hamas. >> beyonce is more like beyond to the same now. >> it's so funny that kamala raised a billion dollars and now she's singing can you pay my bills by beyonce because she is broke. >> her production company got that money. that's the best ever. all right the always entertaining what b goldberg wanted fans of the view to know that she can relate to their problems in the working class. >> i appreciate that people are having a hard time, me to. i work for a living. if i had all the money in the world i would not be here. i'm a working person. >> she shouldn't vowed to leave the show, she should bow to

leave a -- leave the country. if we started a gofundme big money is coming in. >> i guess her net worth was reportedly $60 million, it's not what used to be $60 million. you've got the b-word, a billionaire out there. >> she might get by. it's not going to be easy. >> at least she tried to relate to the middle-class. kamala just said i am middle-class. i think she did a better job then to kamala and that's not saying much. i watch her show on saturday, always fun, thank you for joining us. you take care. nature to follow me on social media. thank you for watching, it is america now and forever. jesse watters takes it from here
