[cheering and applause] >> greg: out of time. walter kirn, emily austin, kat timpf, tyrus, or studio audience, i'm greg gutfeld, i love you, america. >> laura: good evening, everyone. i'm laura ingraham. this is "the ingraham angle" from washington tonight. this is a fox news alert.

a major trump pick. we have fund manager scott besst is being tapped as treasury secretary. here with all the details is fox news senior national correspondent rich edson. rich, what can you tell us? >> good evening, laura, this report just came out and now we have gotten confirmation from the trump transition they have sent the email out will be the choice to lead the treasury department. in this state they said scott will support his policies that will drive u.s. competitiveness, stop unfair trade imbalances work to create the economy that replaces growth at the forefront especially through our coming world energy dominant. now bessent has been defending trump's economic plans to raise tariffs, some economists have criticized tariffs say they will raise prices on american consumers and manufacturers here who source items from abroad. bessent has said that, look, tariffs for a few reasons they fund the treasury.

they protect american industries and also the third leg of that, he says, is for negotiating leverage for this administration against other governments. he has also advised the president elect to pursue a 3-3-3 policy. basically cut the budget deficit to 3% each year. add g.d.p. growth by 3%. also to produce 3 million additional barrels of oil or its equivalent a day. now, the treasury department, it is the top economic post in the u.s. government right next to the white house. you have tax policy. you've got regulatory policy. economic policy, all that. this is a major, major economic pick for the president-elect. there were some back discussion here. this pick took some time. it was just this past weekend that elon musk, who has been really grown to be a strong voice in the president-elect's ear, where he wanted howard lutnick, the chief executive officer of counterfeits gerald to be the pick as treasury

secretary. lutnick ended up at the commerce department. took a few more days finally the president-elect settling on scott bessent the hedge fund manager here to be his nominee for treasury secretary. that's a nomination that will go through the u.s. senate. laura, back to you. >> laura: rich, thank you very much. joining me now jason chaffetz, fox news contributor. alex marlow breitbart editor and chief and charlie gasparino. i got the chance to know scott bessent a little bit over the last few months and most recently this past weekend. you were the first with this scoop. what can you tell us and what can you tell all the economic populists out there who are worried that wall street is going to run the treasury policy of the united states? because they are worried. >> >> i could tell them this and thank you -- yeah, we at fox business i broke it earlier this morning that he was essentially ascending to the top.

after he was on the top then he wasn't on the top. by the way the back story here, laura is amazing. it's going to be my next book. in any event, is he now the treasury secretary. and i will tell you, if you believe in the maga agenda, scott bessent is the best guy for that he not only has the ear of wall street. he believes in trump's policies as they -- an economic nationalism as they relate to trade. using tariffs as a tool to craft strong policies or to create better agreements with other countries. he is for low taxes. less regulation. is he a damn smart guy. i'm telling you, this is a great choice. the markets will react. my belief very positively based on. >> laura: is he a billionaire. he made enormous amount of money shorting the yen and the pound. no doubt about it extremely smart. and speaking of tariffs. this was scott bessent on tariffs.

>> donald trump is the most sophisticated leader on economics that i have met. and he is also the most open-minded. so, the idea of bringing back tariffs, you know, alexander hamilton was the original tariff man. and why did he like tariffs? two reasons? one, to fund the treasury. two, to protect naissant u.s. industries. >> laura: he often spoke, of course, jason about the need to protect essential american industries. america has been deindustrialized over the last 50 years. lost millions of jobs. and a lot of referring when it comes to military policy and s o forth. your reaction to this pick tonight? >> it's an exceptional pick. the guy is wicked smart. he does know what he is talking about. most importantly he is in sync with donald trump who understands by using these tariffs as the negotiating tool around the world, you're not going to have people like, you know, countries like china and others just running roughshod over the united states of

america. of course they can do that. they use it as a negotiating tool. they can do that to protect american industry, to incentivize bringing back business and manufacturing to the united states. he understands that. he gets it. that's is why he is such a vital and important pick for the president. >> laura: alex, when all these free traders talk about oh, tariffs are a tax. really? because europe has been taxes our automobiles, going into europe for how many decades? what is it 15% right off the top? this idea that tariffs are some oh you can never talk tariffs, i think bessent walked that line pretty well. but, if they don't come through with using tariffs, i think democrats have a big opening. so hopefully they will not do that. >> yeah. i think this is a great pick in a regard. he is openly pro-tariff, using tariffs to specifically protect american industry and the american workers. this is the america first pick. this was our pick at breitbart from the start. is he a guy who believes first

of all fed independence is overrated it will be a good balance against the fed. most importantly what he does, laura, he believes the job of the treasury secretary is to execute the agenda of the president of the united states. is he going to try get trump's agenda through. that's the agenda we voted for. it's the perfect pick. >> laura: well, i know that a lot of people, charlie, were worried about the soros fund management. you know, he worked for them for a while. this is one of the biggest funds, you know, in the world. and he had a major role in that. that sent people crazy for a while about bessent. >> well, because they don't really know how soros ran things he was a trader. stan -- throw is no bigger conservative on wall street than stan. and he was the head trader for soros. you have to know about the background. the real question what took so long for bessent. he was obviously the choice from the beginning. just based on his policy. how much money he raised. he was in sync with trump's trade agenda.

and, you know, that's a whole other story. it's a little bit of hunger games and apprentice that went on at mar-a-lago. >> laura: oh, yeah. >> howard lutnick trying to get the top job. in trump's defense. and this is where trump is brilliant, i think, he opened it up to other people. and he picked who he thought was the best. remember that. you know, donald trump deliberately picked what i believe economic centric take it for what it's worth. the most important cabinet choice is treasury. he took a while to pick that by weighing all the factors. this is not a guy that acts rash. this is not -- he did something very -- i am impressed as someone who covered this -- >> i think it's really smart for trump to take his time, learn as much as possible about the various candidates. you know, vet the candidates, i mean, that's just basic -- that's just a process.

so, i think that was the normal process and they arrived at, i think, what everyone can conclude is a really good choice. the question is who is going to be u.s. -- go ahead. >> i was going to say. they were all good choices. this is what is great about this. it's such an upgrade from the insipid janet yellen, the worse treasury secretary ever. she had no idea she thought it was transitory. she doesn't think it's transient. so horrible the way she managed our debt. i'm writing a whole column in the post about that. that if it was marc rowan or kevin warsh or bill hagerty, in my view he settled on the right one in mr. bessent. but these are such upgrades the markets should react positively on monday. >> laura: what i was going to say is it's going to be interesting who see who gets picked for ustr. u.s. trade rep. because i would imagine that's

going to be someone out of bob lighthizer's old office and bob will done that job and he was the best ustr we have ever had. someone who is working closely with him, perhaps. but we don't have that quite yet. this was scott bessent on the need to kind of clamp down on the money exiting the country, in the billions with these remittances from illegals. watch. >> i think in a trump 2.0, you are going to see an all of government coordination like you have never seen before. everyone in the administration is going to be. i think there will be a lot of voluntary deportations. i have been working on a plan for financial deportation. that could restrict the flow of funds in terms of remittances. >> laura: that is also another interesting idea. jason, you on that? >> yeah. the amount of money that we send overseas, people that are here

illegally taking money, making money and then sends it overseas ought to be flashing red lights of what is going on. we are literally sending billions and billions and billions of u.s. dollars are going out overseas. look at all the waste, fraud and abuse of what is happening in afghanistan. what is hang with the foreign aid. you can't account for the $100 billion or so in ukraine. the treasury department exposure to all of this. they need to be working hand in glove with people like tom homan with homeland security, with the fbi. and to look at all the financial crimes and everything that's going on out there. >> laura: it's a nightmare. >> weirdly, secret service is supposed to be looking at financial -- transactions overseas but they are over in homeland security. that part of the business should be over in treasury. those types of things, i think this trump white house will actually fix it. think about it. >> laura: hold on. >> guy: s we just got new information. new trump pick. he is just nominated russ voto

to be the director of the u.s. office of management and budget umv another huge, huge job, trump says he did an excellent job serving in his role in my first term we cut four regulations for every new regulations and it was a great success, alex marlow, that is a great trump has mostly new faces in. but i think it's very important to have some experience in that white house with the way washington works. you can't beat experience obviously if it's incompetent experience you don't want it but he did a terrific job last time and trump is very comfortable with him. >> yeah, this is one of these things picking people who want to deregulate. open up the united states for business to make it so the whole world comes to do business i have to chime in on the soros point about bessent. he worked for soros political outfits. he made money with soros. and opportunity to stand up against soros in some of the

efforts to divest his funds from israel. he threatened to quit and take people with him. so he has got some stones, i think that's really excellent. vaught is another guy going to be cutting. deregulation bonanza that is what we will see. >> laura: charlie, the left is already going crazy because of vaught's protection with project a lot of ideas were classic maga ideas, were just classic. >> all of them. please don't make me read project 2025. but i have read some -- who wants to read project 2025? let's be honest here. this stuff is not insane. this is like classic conservatism. maga conservatism. it makes a ton of sense. and, you know, i don't know mr. vought very well. i have listened to him. is he a smart guy. he is on the trump agenda. listen, full disclosure i don't agree with everything trump says

and does. i want you to know that i want him to pick the people that do. you need an administration where people agree with you. and one other thing about bessent that's fascinating, he actually understands remittances and what that meant from illegal aliens, can you imagine janet yellen ever going there? this is like we have just traded up dramatically here. the trump -- panel, always great to have you on, especially with breaking news. thank you all. all right. the democrats, are they ever going to learn from what happened just a few weeks back on november 5th we have been looking into it. we'll tell you about it, next. ♪

>> look at the 2020 he is still off of what biden got by a good long ways. >> donald trump won the presidency with 49 officers of the vote. 48% of the vote. we won the -- we lost with 47% of the vote. >> if you win an election, did he win a mandate? i don't believe so. it was. >> laura: the "new york times" pinged out the same message today in a column by peter baker titled the landslide that wasn't. baker pointed out that trump won with one of the smallest margins of victory in the popular vote since the 19th century. and that trump world is selling the allusion of a landslide in order to ram through trump's agenda. well, first, what incoming president doesn't use his victory as a reason to enact his policies? isn't that the entire point of running and winning? second, and the press knows this: it's not just a number of votes that trump received, which is impressive. it's where he got them from whom and what he had to overcome to

get them. >> he has expanded demographically the republican coalition. the coalition that elected trump in this election, it is younger, it's more blue collar and it's more diverse than any republican coalition really in modern political history. >> modern political history. and independent journalist glenn greenwald noted on x. trump won a higher percentage of votes in new york city than any republican candidate since george herbert walker bush in 1988, 36 years ago. that is huge. turns out issues actually mattered to these trump voters. and we all know the problems that new york is facing because of democrat policies. >> you take a look at outside the battleground where trump made some of his biggest gains, they were in states like new jersey and new york and california, big blue states. he didn't win any of them. but he made big gains because of this kind of a shift. >> laura: democrats can continue their fantasy thinking,

minimizing the shift toward the g.o.p. among latinos and african-americans, among even young people and urban voters. but democrats are just hurting their own party. and we can never forget that trump did all of this while being outspent 3 or 4 to 1 and while he was being pummeled by venal agenda-driven journalists with the most defamatory slurs that were then amplified by other leftists who are rarely right but never in doubt. and perhaps most impressive was trump's victory despite being relentlessly hounded by political hatchet men and women in our legal system. more on the big news from judge merchan later in the show. but, again, the key here is why they are trying to ride the idea that, well, they didn't lose by that much. because that narrative suggests the democrats really don't believe they need to make big changes to their approach. certainly not to the issues that people care about most. why should they in the victory

wasn't that big for the republicans. if they only lost because biden dropped out late or because trump's appeal is suey generous or because harris wasn't a good communicator. then what they face as a party, really, if that's their thinking, just a personality or maybe a comms problem. well, the problem, of course with that is they were wrong on substance, wrong on the economy, wrong on war. wrong on the culture, and wrong on the border. and the results for innocent americans have been heart breaking. do you think that laken riley's mother thinks democrats just have a comms problem given what happened to her daughter? this is how a mother reacts when she learns that something horrible has happened to her beautiful daughter. >> step up here. come on. all right.

come on. i don't want to tell you yes or no because -- i don't know who anybody is. >> laura: this is one of the main reasons trump won. he felt their pain. he felt their rage. riley was murdered by an illegal alien jose ibarra. and the incoming border czar, he knows the anguish as well. he has seen this play out too many times. courtesy of politicians who don't give a damn. >> i have seen so much tragedy. i have talked to hundreds of angels, moms and dads who have buried their children because they were killed by illegal alien. this is the latest. i have talked to little girls as young as 9 years old that were raped multiple times by members of the cartel, when he looked in her eyes and everything innocent

and pure has been ripped from her soul and her life will never be the same. i mean, it's just -- i'm tired of it. >> laura: now, democrats can't respond to this story or any others like it. because they have become so accustomed to standing up for the rights of the illegals. jocelyn nungaray, rachel morin, laken riley, they are young women who were brutally assaulted and killed by some of the men who were released at the beginning of the administration. this is a specific policy decision by your administration to release these men into the country. so what i'm saying to you duo those families. >> i think it's really. >> an apology. >> let me just say, first of all, those are tragic cases. let's talk about what is happening right now with an individual that does not want to participate in solutions let's talk about those.

>> laura: those are tragic cases but -- there is no but. there is no apology forthcoming now not from her and not from the democrat party. their so-called post november 5th autopsy should include a close examination of the autopsy reports of the american savagely murdered by illegals. leaders will proudly protect the migrants. >> that's not going to happen on my watch. we will not be participating in misguided efforts that harm our communities. >> we're not going to ask our police force to serve as ice agents. we're not cooperating with that madness. >> the city of los angeles will not participate in any collaboration with ice. >> laura: and boston's mayor michelle wu is among the worst. >> we do not need the federal government's help in stepping in to cause mass fear. we have laws on the books that ensure that we do not cooperate on civil immigration detainers.

>> laura: safer? now these rapist migrants terrorized children. as you heard homan say destroyed their innocence, ripped it from them. look at them. mayor wu, read the police reports. read the charging documents. for open borders democrats, this isn't about safety, it's not about safety, the migrants the migrants being brutalized, too. it's not about the safety of the american people, it's about politics, and their own fanaticism. and even child rape, even a nursing student out for a run getting her head bashed in, it doesn't matter. even migrant gangs terrorizing formerly quiet neighborhoods, none of it matters. trump's approval rating is already at an all-time high at 54%. and it's only going to go hire if democrats refuse to learn the real lessons of 2024: their policies were destroying america's economy, our sovereignty, and our peace of

mind. but if democrats won't learn the obvious, they are not only stupid, they are given great news to the republican party in 2026, and fo is florida congresswoman anna paulina luna congresswoman, breaking just moments ago, oregon congresswoman lori chavez drainer has just been tapped for labor secretary, we seem to be whittle ling away this majority in the house of representatives with these picks. but your reaction tonight? heap to announce on this show she has been given that title. congratulations to you, lori and your family. >> right now the president has picked all the top jobs for the administration we learned about treasury secretary nominee scott bessent and now the labor position filled omb is filled

are a text and remove them from the federal bureaucracy. that's scaring a lot of bureaucrats in washington tonight. your reaction to all of this news but especially but vought, given his plans for the federal employment, which is a lot of people could have to be looking for real be not only a patriot but very serious about cleaning up d.c., part of the problem we are having is again deep state bureaucrats that think that they can outlast creations and the will of the american people and so you have to get new blood into washington, d.c. from the secretary positions to the federal -- to the federal jobs. i mean, we just need a flush all h. i'm very happy that president trump appointed him, frankly i'm pretty excited to have backup in washington. >> you know, charlie gasparino, i think it was charlie who made

the point that all of these picks are -- seem to be ideologically simpatico. they are all supporting the trump agenda. anything can happen, but that's what it seems to be. working together when they have common purposes and common, you know, agenda items, they all have to do their part, how important is that at the start of this administration that everyone is on the same page? no time to waste? >> it's -- yeah, it's important. it's also important that the people surround him have his back. we saw in 2016 that there was many blocks and also people within his administration that were knifing him the entire time. what i will tell you, laura, is the fact that the administration is united, the fact that congress is united, i do have some concerns in the senate that they will potentially block anything in regard to border security if we don't push mass amnesty which would also be very wrong. i'm hoping that day one and force congress to do the right

thing. american people secure our border and do exactly what we ed we would do on the campaign trail is back president trump. >> laura: congresswoman you will tell us tonight if you are set to be tapped for a position, right? we really like having you on the show regularly. so the way this is going is like we have to check with every guest on the show. congresswoman, thank you so much. and how the left's lawfare strategy backfired new

lawyer finally liberals are admitting what we knew all along. samuel mountain lion the year's long vanquish trump in court was a dismal failure for liberals like me, it may be tempting to attribute the collapse of the various cases against him to

convenient explanations of process or personnel. the more uncomfortable truth is that our search for political salvation primarily through the law has backfired. big time. juan merchan granted trump's request to file a motion to dismiss the charges and remove the sentencing date from the court's schedule. of course we already know that jack smith is closing up shop at doj. joining me now sol wisenberg, former deputy independent counsel along with mike davis founder and president of the article iii project. mike, let's start with you. is this really the end of lawfare or are they just regrouping to fight another day? >> what i think needs to happen, laura, is there has to be political and financial consequences to this republican ending lawfare and election interference by these democrat operatives. so this never happens again.

and i think that includes a probe by the trump 47 justice department under 18 usc section 241 conspiracy against rights. >> laura: sol, do you agree with that, that there must be consequences, given the political nature of these? because alvin bragg was saved from embarrassment. he was going to be reversed. he caught a break. even hoenig from cnn said that given the case's inevitable demise. does there need to be an investigation of these cases and investigations? >> women, there need to be consequences if consequences are appropriate. the way to find that out is to launch an investigation. it doesn't mean that you automatically launch an investigation of every single case that was brought against president trump. but at a minimum, you need to have somebody looking at it. and to make sure that it was done in a proper way.

so much of what was done was openly political and openly improper in my view. is there anybody who believes the new york state case would have been brought against anybody other than donald trump? and what does it mean when jack smith tries to skip part of the normal appellate procedure and basically says we're doing it so that we can have a case before the 2024 election? so i certainly don't believe we should wash our hands of it and say we're not like the other side. i think we need to look very carefully into what was done. >> laura: i agree that is a great point. jack smith also urged the court and judge chutkan agreed to release that partially redacted superseding indictment, mike, which also, again, right before the election, to sol's point, clearly a political move. that can't happen anymore, period, end of story. >> yeah, it's amazing that they

said that the election has nothing to do with what they're doing with these cases and then right after the election, they want to cut and shut down these cases that proves this was election interference all along. >> laura: sol and mike, we'll continue this next week. thank you very much. coming up, what is this raw milk craze all about? i know you have heard about it. how is it part of trump's agenda to make america healthy agai

humanitarian trips around the world during times of crises like in haiti, like in morocco and she is -- i think she has a lot of skills she can bring to bear. you know, laura, one of the main things the surgeon general does is puts is put out advisories, messaging. i think you are going to see a lot of that from her. that can go across the aisle, too. maybe this issue of food that we are going to talk about. >> laura: i'm sorry, dr. siegel, excuse me. it was my mistake on the homeland security adviser. that was -- that was wrong. so sorry about that. but she is familiar face on fox, obviously. incredibly experienced and has spoken so passionately about the trauma that families went through during covid. especially alcohol abuse. drug abuse. everything that came about as a result of lockdowns and people not being able to interact with each other. she has also been an advocate for mental health treatment. >> absolutely. >> especially for young people, which i think is so important.

talked to her at one point about sleeping. i have always been a bad sleeper. i think i talked to her about that one time. she was on our show last year talking about covid. let's watch. >> should have been encouraging communication and conversation to help save lives, not stifle debate. how many millions of thousands of people who lives have been upended because of the mandates, because of masks, because of vaccines, because of this lack of information? so we need to work hard to make sure that this doesn't happen again. it's good to -- >> laura: the mistakes, the mistakes of covid a lot of people don't like to look back because we are forward-looking. her point is if we don't learn those mistakes -- from those mistakes, we're bound to repeat them, dr. siegel. >> hyper ventilating on a virus without looking at the collateral damage it caused to everyone. not just from the lockdowns but how we treated each other, the anxiety. alcoholism which she has also talked about on the huge rise coming out of the pandemic and
